EDISON, N.J. — Neetu Singh was headed for the trash with a diaper from her 4-year-old son. She made her way from the family room to the back porch of her home in this Middlesex County suburb.
The lights were off outside, and beyond the family’s corner lot and its six-foot-high fence, the neighborhood was still.
Then as Ms. Singh started to slide open the glass door, she was set upon, overpowered by three assailants who sprang from the darkness. The men, their faces almost completely sheathed in black knit caps, burst in waving guns. “Be quiet. Where is the money?” Ms. Singh said they demanded.
“Out of nowhere, there are like six hands pushing me, that was the first sight,” Ms. Singh, 40, said in an interview this week, recalling the 25-minute home invasion and robbery in late October that has helped stoke anxiety in a string of Indian-American communities in central New Jersey.
The Singhs were the fifth Indian-American family in Middlesex County robbed at gunpoint in their homes since Oct. 20. All but one of the robberies took place in late October, during and just after the roughly weeklong Hindu festival of Diwali, when families often have gold jewelry on hand as part of their celebration.

But the most recent home invasion, on Saturday in Old Bridge, raised fears that the series of robberies in the county may not be over. In each case, the gunmen pointed their weapons at victims’ heads, tied the victims up and ransacked the houses, apparently looking for gold.
Gold is often worn during the festival, and is prized inside homes during the celebration, community members said. The Singhs were robbed of tens of thousands of dollars’ worth of necklaces, rings, earrings and pendants.

The police and prosecutors have not publicly linked the five home invasions, which occurred in Edison, Old Bridge and South Plainfield. But the robberies have been similar, and this area of New Jersey is home to large communities of Indian-Americans.
On Nov. 12, the county prosecutor, Andrew Carey, appeared on TV Asia, a station watched by many Indian-Americans, to warn them and to talk about securing their homes.

Peter Kothari, a community activist, said that thefts from unoccupied homes had been a problem in some years but that the spree of home invasions over the last several weeks was a drastic and violent escalation of crimes apparently driven by the festival. No serious injuries have been reported.
The latest robbery, on Saturday evening, confounded Mr. Kothari, given that the festival was over. “Why is it happening now, well after?” he said in an interview on Monday.
Mr. Kothari and some other Edison residents said they were not happy with the prosecutor, Mr. Carey, and the three towns’ police departments. Mr. Kothari, for instance, wanted to know why no descriptions of the suspects had been released. He had also repeatedly asked Mr. Carey to call a news conference to bring more attention to the robberies, he said. “The first, second, third home invasion, O.K., you don’t think it’s a pattern,” Mr. Kothari said. “But after the third, you agree it is a pattern, but yet you don’t want to talk to the press?”
A spokesman for the Middlesex County prosecutor’s office, James O’Neill, on Tuesday declined to explain why the office had not released descriptions of suspects or why it would not discuss the similarities in the crimes.
Mr. Kothari said the crimes were most certainly aimed at Indian-Americans and needed to be treated as such. “They are coming after Indian-Americans because they think they are passive people, they are not going to fight back — and most of them are well-to-do people,” he said. “We will fight back.” ||||| NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) — Authorities say a home invasion in Middlesex County may be linked to others in the area that targeted families of South Asian and Indian descent.
Police in Old Bridge said a group of men entered a home there, restrained family members and stole cash and jewelry on Saturday night.
“They duct taped our hands and legs and they dragged us, literally on the floor one by one,” one of the victims, who didn’t want her name revealed, told CBS2’s Matt Kozar.

The woman said she didn’t want to reveal her name because she’s still scared of the three masked and armed men who forced their way into her house.
She said they rang the doorbell and her husband thought they might be delivery men.
“I was praying to God, take whatever you want and get out of our house,” she said.
The victim said the men ransacked the house as one gunman stood guard over the family, which included her parents and her 4- and 6-year-old children.
“They asked us to take off the gold. The rings and necklace and whatever we were wearing,” she said.
This has been the fifth home invasion in the county over the last several weeks in which South Asian-Indian families have been victimized, Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew C. Carey said.
On Oct. 30, Rajesh Singh said three armed masked men forced their way into his home on Netherwood Circle in Edison as his wife took out the trash just before midnight.
He said the intruders then bound Singh, his wife and their kids with duct tape and put them out on the kitchen floor. The trio then ransacked the home, taking jewelry, cash and other items, Singh said.
Two other similar home invasions were committed in Old Bridge and one in South Plainfield.
No arrests have been made, and it isn’t known whether the robberies are related or if any suspects were involved in more than one robbery.
Private investigator Dan Coleman told CBS2 there’s a reason thieves target this specific group.
“Especially the South Asian and Indian families tend to use gold as part of their religion, as part of their culture,” he said.
In response, police have stepped up patrols.
“Thank God none of them were injured, and I hope they catch these people,” said Palma Fanetti.
“During the day we are fine, but as it gets darker, we get scared,” the most recent victim said.
Prosecutors, the FBI and police are investigating.
Crime Stoppers is urging anyone with information on the cases to call (800) 939-9600, go to middlesextips.com, or text 274637 and enter “midtip” followed by a message.

Output: | Since Oct. 20, a single New Jersey county has seen at least five home invasions targeting Indian-Americans, the New York Times reports. Most occurred in late October, when many families celebrate Diwali—a holiday that frequently involves gold jewelry. The latest Middlesex County incident, however, occurred on Saturday. "They duct taped our hands and legs and they dragged us literally on the floor, one by one," a victim tells CBS New York. Another previous victim describes her experience to the Times: When she went out back, men wearing black caps over their faces asked her, at gunpoint, where "the money" was, she says. Her family lost tens of thousands of dollars' worth of gold. Many Indian-Americans live in the area, and thefts have previously occurred—but in those cases, the homes weren't occupied. The recent cases involve robbery at gunpoint. Locals have been frustrated with police, who haven't confirmed whether the latest crimes are linked, the Times reports (CBS notes that officials do say it's possible). "The first, second, third home invasion, OK, you don't think it’s a pattern," says an activist. "But after the third, you agree it is a pattern, but yet you don't want to talk to the press?" An official has, however, gone on TV to warn Indian-Americans to keep their homes safe, and police as well as the FBI are investigating. |

Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Q: Besides former channels, what type of channels could you find on the package?, Context: The service started on 1 September 1993 based on the idea from the then chief executive officer, Sam Chisholm and Rupert Murdoch, of converting the company business strategy to an entirely fee-based concept. The new package included four channels formerly available free-to-air, broadcasting on Astra's satellites, as well as introducing new channels. The service continued until the closure of BSkyB's analogue service on 27 September 2001, due to the launch and expansion of the Sky Digital platform. Some of the channels did broadcast either in the clear or soft encrypted (whereby a Videocrypt decoder was required to decode, without a subscription card) prior to their addition to the Sky Multichannels package. Within two months of the launch, BSkyB gained 400,000 new subscribers, with the majority taking at least one premium channel as well, which helped BSkyB reach 3.5 million households by mid-1994. Michael Grade criticized the operations in front of the Select Committee on National Heritage, mainly for the lack of original programming on many of the new channels.

How to make a cucumber cream cheese sandwich

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: What contributed to the Humanist Manifesto?, Context: Raymond B. Bragg, the associate editor of The New Humanist, sought to consolidate the input of Leon Milton Birkhead, Charles Francis Potter, and several members of the Western Unitarian Conference. Bragg asked Roy Wood Sellars to draft a document based on this information which resulted in the publication of the Humanist Manifesto in 1933. Potter's book and the Manifesto became the cornerstones of modern humanism, the latter declaring a new religion by saying, "any religion that can hope to be a synthesising and dynamic force for today must be shaped for the needs of this age. To establish such a religion is a major necessity of the present." It then presented 15 theses of humanism as foundational principles for this new religion.

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

| The LAPD is about to embark on a yearlong test program with a fleet of "small Unmanned Aerial Systems," aka drones—making it the country's largest police department to use them—and some residents aren't happy about it. The Los Angeles Times reports on Tuesday's 3-1 vote by a civilian oversight committee LA Police Commission has been greeted with profanity, chants of "shame on you," and a small demonstration outside LAPD headquarters. Those pushing for the drone test say the camera-carrying devices could keep cops safer by helping gather information from the skies during dangerous situations. "Whether it's an active shooter at a school, or a suspect barricaded in a home … this technology will help us save lives," the president of the LAPD's union says in a statement. But critics, including the ACLU of California, fear the drones could be used for other reasons, or even be used as weapons. A National Lawyers Guild Los Angeles rep says those opposed are afraid of "mission creep," per the Times. "The history of this department is of starting off with supposedly good intentions about the new toys that it gets … only to then get too tempted by what they can do with those toys," he says. The LAPD insists the drones will be strictly regulated: Ars Technica cites the guidelines that spell out "permissible uses" (e.g., "barricaded suspects" and "natural disasters"), as well as prohibited ones (any that are "in violation of the law or Constitution"). The drones also can't be weaponized, and each flight must get the OK from a "high-ranking officer." LAPD Chief Charlie Beck says there will likely be one in-service drone and one for backup; they'll start their mission in 30 days or so. |
Q: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
The Talmud has a lenient position, also considered?, Context: However, the Orthodox claim to absolute fidelity to past tradition has been challenged by scholars who contend that the Judaism of the Middle Ages bore little resemblance to that practiced by today's Orthodox. Rather, the Orthodox community, as a counterreaction to the liberalism of the Haskalah movement, began to embrace far more stringent halachic practices than their predecessors, most notably in matters of Kashrut and Passover dietary laws, where the strictest possible interpretation becomes a religious requirement, even where the Talmud explicitly prefers a more lenient position, and even where a more lenient position was practiced by prior generations.

[A]: 15.1%
[Q]: What do you do at a gym to lose weight?, Context: The style and role of any minority leader is influenced by a variety of elements, including personality and contextual factors, such as the size and cohesion of the minority party, whether his or her party controls the White House, the general political climate in the House, and the controversy that is sometimes associated with the legislative agenda. Despite the variability of these factors, there are a number of institutional obligations associated with this position. Many of these assignments or roles are spelled out in the House rule book. Others have devolved upon the position in other ways. To be sure, the minority leader is provided with extra staff resources—beyond those accorded him or her as a Representative—to assist in carrying out diverse leadership functions. Worth emphasis is that there are limits on the institutional role of the minority leader, because the majority party exercises disproportionate influence over the agenda, partisan ratios on committees, staff resources, administrative operations, and the day-to-day schedule and management of floor activities.

Little is known of the earliest Stone Age inhabitants of Europe's southwestern extremity. The ancient Greeks called them the Cynetes (or Cunetes). Whatever their origins, their culture evolved under the pressure and influence of foreign forces. Among the many invading armies that settled here and contributed to nascent Portuguese culture were Phoenicians, who settled in the area around 1,000 b.c., followed by the Celts, Iberians, Greeks, and Carthaginians. But it was the Romans, who arrived late in the third century b.c., who most greatly influenced all of Iberia. They built towns, industries, roads, and bridges, developed agriculture, and bequeathed the Latin language, of which Portuguese is a direct descendant. The Romans named the southwestern province of the peninsula Lusitania, oddly enough for one of the Celtiberian tribes they defeated, and by the third century a.d. had introduced Christianity. By the beginning of the fourth century the Algarve had a bishop in place, based in Faro. But Rome had already fallen into decay, and soon hordes of northern tribesmen took over the empire. The Algarve fell to the Visigoths in the mid-fifth century. Under Moorish Rule In a.d. 711, the Moors brought powerful armies from North Africa and launched a devastating attack on the Iberian peninsula, conquering much of what would become Spain and Portugal. They imposed Islam and left an indelible influence on the countryside and the population of the Algarve. The Moorish legacy can still be seen in the form of wells and waterwheels, squat white houses, the dark complexions of the people, and in the very name given the region — taken from Al-Gharb, which means "country of the west" (when the Moors conquered the territory, it was the most westerly in the known world). The Moors governed their Iberian kingdoms from across the border in Seville, but the Algarve had its own regional capital and huge, invulnerable fortress. The capital was Chelb (or Xelb), and it was bigger and better defended than Lisbon. Today the town, known as Silves, is a provincial outpost whose only besiegers are busloads of tourists who climb the narrow streets up to the old Moorish ramparts. <sep>Where did the Christian Romans place a bishop, based in Faro?<sep>Lusitania

[Q]: The digestive system is the body system that digests food. It digest food in two ways, mechanically and chemically. Both help in the process of turning food into nutrients. The digestive system also eliminates solid food waste. The major organs of the digestive system include the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and small and large in- testines. These organs all work together to help you gain energy from the food you eat. Digestion starts in the mouth. When food is swallowed, it travels through the esophagus to the stomach. In the stomach, digestion continues and a small amount of absorption of nutrients takes place. Most chemical digestion and nearly all absorption of nutrients take place in the small intestine. This organ consists of three parts: duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The large intestine is the last stop in the digestive system. This is where water is absorbed. The food not digested is released as waste. <sep>What are the three parts of the small intestine?<sep>The colon, the duodenum, the esophagus

LONDON (AP) — Hundreds of royal fans, some carrying British and American flags, lined the streets of Nottingham on Friday in hopes of catching a glimpse of Prince Harry and his fiancee, Meghan Markle.
The trip is the first official engagement for Harry and the American actress since they announced earlier this week that they would wed. They plan to tour Britain in the next six months to give Markle an opportunity to learn about the country before their wedding at St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The couple traveled to the east Midlands in England to visit to a youth project and to raise AIDS awareness. Their fans followed, including Irene Hardman, 81, who has handed bags of candy to both Princes William and Harry and their father, Prince Charles.
"It is absolutely wonderful and fantastic, and we privileged they've chosen Nottingham to be their first official engagement," she said, adding that she had another goodie bag ready to hand over. This one has two fridge magnets "so they don't fight over it."
It is Prince Harry's third visit to Nottingham since October last year. The prince has long championed AIDS charities, following in the footsteps of his mother, Princess Diana.
Holly Burdett, who is originally from West Bridgford, Nottinghamshire, but now lives in Sydney, Australia, had returned home on the "gamble" that the couple would announce their engagement while she was here.
"I always thought I'd marry Harry but you can't win them all," she joked. "As long as they're happy, that's all that matters." ||||| Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Prince Harry and Meghan Markle met crowds as they arrived in Nottingham
Meghan Markle has had a taste of royal life, as she joined her fiance Prince Harry on their first joint official public engagement in Nottingham.
Excited crowds cheered as the couple greeted well-wishers ahead of a visit to a World Aids Day charity fair hosted by the Terrence Higgins Trust.
They split up to talk to people lining both sides of their route and were given cards, flowers and chocolate.
After the charity fair, they met head teachers at a nearby school.
Well-wishers gathered in the city ahead of the visit to catch a glimpse of the couple, including Helena Bottomley, Zoe Scott and Carole Bingham, from East and West Bridgford.
Ms Scott said: "We love the royals. We are genuinely happy for Harry."
"We all had our children at the same time as Diana [Princess of Wales] so we feel a real allegiance. She would be so thrilled," said Ms Bottomley.
The couple announced their engagement on Monday and are due to marry at Windsor Castle in May.
One of the people Prince Harry stopped to speak to was Julie Ball, 51, of Netherfield, who said the prince had commented on her Santa gloves.
"He said 'great gloves' and pulled one down over my fingers," she said. "I said they're from Primark for £3.
"When Meghan walked past she said the same thing. She said, 'We have the same taste.'"
Another member of the public shouted to Prince Harry: "How does it feel being a ginger with Meghan?"
"It's great isn't it?" The prince replied.
Dickie Arbiter, former royal spokesman, told the BBC the couple took their time to talk to as many people as possible on their 30-minute walkabout.

University of Nottingham students Raushana Nurzhubalina, from Kazakhstan, and Jenn Galandy, from Canada, set their alarms for 06:00 GMT to get a prime spot to try to see Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
"It is such an honour to see the royals," Ms Nurzhubalina said.
"I'm also a fan of Suits, so it is a chance to see a star of that too."
Royal fan Irene Hardman had a goody bag ready to hand over to the couple, including copies of the local paper and two fridge magnets "so they don't fight over it".
Speaking afterwards, the 81-year-old said: "I cried - she's wonderful, and it's fantastic. They're so genuine."

By the time the royal couple arrived, the pavements in the Lace Market were packed.
Prince Harry and Meghan spent around half an hour meeting the people of Nottingham who had come out in force despite the cold.
Meghan appeared very relaxed and perfectly at ease. This was her first official royal engagement with Harry and if she was nervous at all it did not show.
She smiled, she chatted, at one point she even picked up someone's glove and handed it back to them.
This was a confident first public appearance. The couple split up at points to cover both parts of the pavement and meet the maximum number of people. Meghan was happy to shake hands with the crowd and as she wasn't wearing gloves, the ring was on show.
Tactile with her fiancée and the crowd - it's fair to say the response from the people was overwhelmingly positive.
After the walkabout, Prince Harry and Ms Markle went to the Nottingham Contemporary Exhibition Centre for an event to mark World Aids Day.
Dominic Edwards, from the Terrence Higgins Trust, told the BBC the charity was "thrilled" the couple had chosen to visit Nottingham, and said: "I think it really underlines his great support for HIV as a cause."
Royal commentator Richard FitzWilliams, said this visit represented a link with the legacy of Princess Diana's influential work on HIV 30 years ago and was "no coincidence".

Prince Harry has spent time in Nottingham both publicly and privately since he first met young people there in 2013, when he was exploring issues around youth violence.
A year later, he established the Full Effect programme, which aims to stop youth violence in the city.
At Nottingham Academy, the couple will watch a "hip hopera" and meet students.
Handbag 'sell out'
The handbag Ms Markle chose to carry on her Nottingham visit has already sold out.
The bag was made by the Scottish label, Strathberry, which said "it was a fantastic surprise" to see the bride-to-be carrying one of its designs.
Ms Markle was wrapped up in a long navy coat by Mackage - a brand also favoured by actresses Gwyneth Paltrow, Halle Berry, Eva Mendes and Blake Lively.
She wore the coat over a beige cotton, full midi skirt from British-based fashion label Joseph, priced at £595, which also sold out on the brand's website.

On Tuesday, the couple's spokesman said Ms Markle would not be continuing her work on gender with the United Nations or with other organisations and instead would start new charity work as a full-time royal.
Mr Knauf said she planned to focus her attention on the UK and Commonwealth.
"This is the country that's going to be her home now and that means travelling around, getting to know the towns and cities and smaller communities," he said.
She will also become the fourth patron of the Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.
The foundation is behind Prince Harry's Invictus Games - the Paralympic-style competition for injured servicemen and women and veterans - and also the mental health charity Heads Together.
It has also been announced that Ms Markle intends to become a British citizen and will work towards it in the coming years. |||||

The Earth is tilted 23 1/2 on its axis. This means that as the Earth rotates, one hemisphere has longer days with shorter nights. At the same time the other hemisphere has shorter days and longer nights. For example, in the Northern hemisphere summer begins on June 21. On this date, the North Pole is pointed directly toward the Sun. This is the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The South Pole is pointed The hemisphere that is tilted away from the Sun is cooler because it receives fewer direct rays. As Earth orbits the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere goes from winter to spring, then summer and fall. The Southern Hemisphere does the opposite from summer to fall to winter to spring. When it is winter in the Northern hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern hemisphere, and vice versa. What does this mean for you? If you live in North America, July 1 is usually a very warm day.

How to make scented candles
Consider the kind of scent you'd like to add to candles.
There is a wide variety of choices, but not all of them will align with your personal preferences. Some are commercially produced from chemicals, some come from plants, while others are based on essential oils.
OPTIONS:
- Reducing the amount of essential oils you use won't usually result in the desired effect if the scent is too overwhelming or old-fashioned. The benefit of these scents is that you'll turn them into natural antioxidants which are useful to moisturize the candle.
- If you want a suitable fragrance, consider! Tea tree oil, for instance, is a very effective deodorizer. It is very fragrant, so you can use the essential oil anywhere you want, and most people can leave it over other candles.
- The origin of the scent may impact your choice to use it, especially if you're concerned about chemicals in your home environment. Typical sources of scenting candles include : Commercial candle making scents: these are in liquid form and are available from most stores that sell candle making supplies.
- Essential oils are often made by using distilled water, tea leaves, perfume oils, or raw (not dried) skin oils. Some oils can contain heme oxide for added fragrances.

Typical sources of scenting candles include : Commercial candle making scents: these are in liquid form and are available from most stores that sell candle making supplies.
How to paint kitchen cupboards
Take any cupboard drawers out.
Pull all drawers out of the cabinets and remove any hardware connecting the drawers to the outer cupboard shells.
Remove the cupboard doors.
OPTIONS:
- Use a couple of pry bar nails and paint and board screws to inspect the insides of every cupboard door in the area that you plan to paint. Remember that the door hinges should be on the sides of the cupboard and not on the underside of it.
- Most cabinets are made with hinges and they can slide open with ease. You'll need a flashlight and a wrench to remove the cabinet doors.
- Wear a bomber jacket and gloves to prevent the paint from contaminating your skin. Put all cabinet doors in the separate section of the kitchen.
- Take the screws out of hinges and pull the doors off of frames. Once the doors are off, go back and remove any hardware attached to the cabinet frames.

How to buy a boat
Determine what type of boat you want.
What do you plan on using your boat for? Do you plan on fishing, sailing, cruising, tubing, or water skiing? The type of boat you buy will depend on your answer to those questions.
If you plan on using your boat primarily for fishing, look for a fishing boat.
OPTIONS:
- If you plan on hanging out at the lake, a pontoon boat is a good idea. If you will use your boat for water sports, a water ski or wake board boat is best.
- These boats have more sleeping quarters, more steering space, and allow you more space to maneuver comfortably and operate your boat. If you enjoy water skiing, it may be a good time to plan a boat group of thirty or forty people.
- Otherwise, start thinking about other boats that you consider are the best in that area. Your boat's size will play a role in how big it will be, and will be mainly for water skiing.
- If you plan on fishing instead, consider a boating boat. A boating boat is a motorized boat that allows you to operate it without anything being in the way.
answer: If you plan on hanging out at the lake, a pontoon boat is a good idea. If you will use your boat for water sports, a water ski or wake board boat is best.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
[EX Q]: What kind of dogs usually have docked tails?, Context: There are many different shapes for dog tails: straight, straight up, sickle, curled, or cork-screw. As with many canids, one of the primary functions of a dog's tail is to communicate their emotional state, which can be important in getting along with others. In some hunting dogs, however, the tail is traditionally docked to avoid injuries. In some breeds, such as the Braque du Bourbonnais, puppies can be born with a short tail or no tail at all.
[EX A]: hunting
[EX Q]: What was important to preachers?, Context: Doctrinal development has had an important place in the restoration of the Preachers. Several institutions, besides those already mentioned, played important parts. Such is the Biblical school at Jerusalem, open to the religious of the order and to secular clerics, which publishes the Revue Biblique. The faculty of theology at the University of Fribourg, confided to the care of the Dominicans in 1890, is flourishing, and has about 250 students. The Pontificium Collegium Internationale Angelicum, the future Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas, Angelicum established at Rome in 1908 by Master Hyacinth Cormier, opened its doors to regulars and seculars for the study of the sacred sciences. In addition to the reviews above are the Revue Thomiste, founded by Père Thomas Coconnier (d. 1908), and the Analecta Ordinis Prædicatorum (1893). Among numerous writers of the order in this period are: Cardinals Thomas Zigliara (d. 1893) and Zephirin González (d. 1894), two esteemed philosophers; Alberto Guillelmotti (d. 1893), historian of the Pontifical Navy, and Heinrich Denifle, one of the most famous writers on medieval history (d. 1905).[citation needed]
[EX A]: the restoration of the Preachers
[EX Q]: What nation did this affect?, Context: It threatened the collapse of large financial institutions, which was prevented by the bailout of banks by national governments, but stock markets still dropped worldwide. In many areas, the housing market also suffered, resulting in evictions, foreclosures and prolonged unemployment. The crisis played a significant role in the failure of key businesses, declines in consumer wealth estimated in trillions of U.S. dollars, and a downturn in economic activity leading to the 2008–2012 global recession and contributing to the European sovereign-debt crisis. The active phase of the crisis, which manifested as a liquidity crisis, can be dated from August 9, 2007, when BNP Paribas terminated withdrawals from three hedge funds citing "a complete evaporation of liquidity".
[EX A]: | worldwide

Definition: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
Input: Mitt Romney, the millionaire who has tried again and again to try to show voters that he’s just another everyday Joe, may have given his GOP rivals and President Obama a gold-plated gift in Saturday’s debate in Iowa.
While sparring with Rick Perry over healthcare at the debate in Des Moines, Romney challenged Perry to a wager. The stakes? A cool 10 grand.
That’s not exactly your typical bar bet.
Perry had accused Romney of altering a paperback version of his book to delete a line that had Romney wanting to make his Massachusetts healthcare plan a model for the rest of the nation, suggesting that Romney is a champion of an individual mandate to force people to purchase health insurance.
Romney said that wasn’t true.
“I'll tell you what. 10,000 bucks? Ten-thousand-dollar bet?” Romney said.
“I’m not in the betting business,” Perry replied.
Romney, who likes to talk about his work creating jobs as a venture capitalist in the private sector, is estimated to be worth between $190 million and $250 million.
Should he go on to win the Republican nomination, the clip from Saturday's debate may be replayed again and again in Democratic attack ads.
The reaction of former Obama White House aide Bill Burton to Romney's bet was typical. Burton now runs a Democratic "super PAC."
"Not a lot of 99%'ers are out there making $10,000 bets," Burton wrote on Twitter.
And the Democratic National Committee quickly fired off a mass email titled: "What the Average American Family Can Buy With $10,000." ||||| Tweet with a location

Output: | Trailing a surging Newt Gingrich, Mitt Romney needed to make a splash in last night's GOP debate to take back the momentum. Well, Romney definitely splashed, thanks to his bold $10,000 wager over his belief in an individual mandate for health insurance—but how much do you want to bet Romney wishes he could take back the big-money wager now? After trying so hard to prove to people that he is just a regular guy, multi-millionaire Romney "may have given his GOP rivals and President Obama a gold-plated gift in Saturday’s debate in Iowa," writes the LA Times. "Not a lot of 99%'ers are out there making $10,000 bets," tweeted a former Obama White House aide, adding, "If corporations were people, $10,000 bets actually wouldn't be that big of a deal." Despite pundits everywhere calling the bet a major gaffe, Romney's supporters refused to call it anything other than a victory. "Mitt Romney knew that Rick Perry wouldn't take the bet because it's a phony attack," a senior Romney advisor told Reuters. "By backing down, Perry looked weak. " But Perry's supporters did not seem worried. “If Mitt is the nominee, we’ll see that $10,000 bet offer about 10,000 more times,” tweeted one Perry supporter. Jon Huntsman's team promised that a 10Kbet.com website was on its way, and a spokesperson noted that Romney has argued for a "government-run, mandate approach ... I guess he owes Rick Perry $10,000." Democrats were pretty happy about the whole thing, too. "I'm doing an endzone dance on it," tweeted one Democratic strategist. Click for a rundown of the debate or see who won and who lost. |

Problem:On a day it celebrated 50 years of giving free legal advice, Southern Arizona Legal Aid announced it has received two grants totaling more than $7 million. One of the grants includes the creation of a Web site with legal advice for the poor. A three-year grant worth $6.6 million and a separate technology grant were announced at a press conference and dinner held Thursday at Evo. A. DeConcini Federal Courthouse, 405 W. Congress St. Deconcini was one of the organization's early board members. Thursday's celebration was the first public even held at the courthouse. About 100 members of the legal community attended, including state Attorney General Janet Napolitano and Arizona Supreme Court Justice Thomas Zlaket. Both grants come from the Legal Services., a private, nonprofit corporation established by Congress in 1974 to offer poor people equal access to the justice system. It's funded through congressional appropriation. The $6.6 million grant will pay for staffing operations. The Web site, which will be created with a $50,000 grant, is intended to offer legal advice to poor people across Arizona, said Paul Julian, chief executive officer of Southern Arizona Legal Aid. He said he wants every poor person in Arizona to have legal help. "This is another step in trying to realize that. We feel like we do a pretty good job of helping people who find us," Julian said. Julian said that though most people do not own computers, they can still access them at libraries, schools, and courthouses. He said the Web site will help bridge the "digital divide" that keeps the poor from using the Internet as a resource. Southern Arizona Legal Aid was founded in 1951 as the Legal Aid Society of the Pima County Bar Association. It offered free legal advice on civil matters including disputes in small claims court, divorce proceedings and obtaining Social Security benefits. Charles Ares, a member of the board of directors in the 1950s, said the office was kind of a charity operation. <sep>What grants did Southern Arizona Legal Aid receive on the day it celebrated 50 years of giving free legal advice?<sep>A staffing operations grant and a grant to create a web site

One Conifer, Colorado, couple says they narrowly escaped unspeakable tragedy after rescuing their 3-year-old daughter from inside their washing machine.
Mom Lindsey McIver posted the story to Facebook, saying it's a cautionary tale to parents and caretakers about the dangers washer and dryers pose to children.
“On Monday my husband went to Lowe’s and purchased this new front load washing machine,” McIver wrote. “We thought it was the ‘new and cool’ type of washing machine and didn’t think anything of it. We spent that evening installing it with the kids underfoot. We told them several times that they were not to touch it. They all replied ‘OK.’”
Less than a day later though, everything changed.
McIver and her husband said they awoke to their 4-year-old son crying so hard he could barely talk.
“As I was trying to understand what he was saying, my husband flew out of bed and down the stairs. It was then that the realization hit. He had said: ‘Kloe. Inside. Washer,’” she recounted.
Their young daughter was locked inside the washing machine with the machine rotating and water filling up inside.
“We were able to quickly stop it and unlock the door and get her out. Aside from a couple of small bumps on her head and wet clothes, she was fine. After going through all the ‘what if‘s’ and ‘could have’s’ we know we are very blessed and God had mercy on our sweet daughter,” she wrote.
Now she wants to educate other parents and caretakers about keeping your kids safe around front-load washers and dryers. She’s since installed a child safety lock on the machine and encourages others to take similar measures.
To protect your children from washer and dryer entrapment, experts suggest engaging any appliance safety features, locking the door to the room where you keep appliances and purchasing a safety lock as well as talking to your kids about the dangers, among other measures. Getty Images
“I took this picture after we secured the door shut with a child safety lock. We also found a child lock feature on the settings that, as long as it is engaged, will not allow the washing machine to start. But it does not lock the door,” she wrote.
The maker of the machine, LG, responded, issuing a statement: “We applaud Ms. McIver for telling her story and share in her efforts to make sure that consumers are aware of the child safety lock feature available on LG washing machines and dryers. We encourage people to use this important safety setting and to contact our customer support team if they need any assistance.”
The most terrifying part, McIver told NBC News, was that the door to the washer was locked. "My husband doesn’t remember what button he pushed," McIver said. "But I think he pushed pause and power, which helped us open the door. We believe what happened is that my daughter, Kloe, climbed inside and our son, who is 4, closed the door and pushed start. And then we think he panicked and came to get us." Their 6-year-old slept through the incident.
While the kids are "still traumatized," the McIvers haven't brought the incident up with them again, beyond reiterating safety protocols. "They are still scared about what happened. They don't want to be in trouble."
According to Taryn Brucia, Director of Public Relations for LG Electronics, the child safety lock that comes standard on all LG washers is not a requirement. "It's voluntary and optional," she told TODAY Parents via email. "LG has proactively elected to add this important safety feature to our products."
She noted that LGE can't speak for other brands in the industry.
"The child safety lock feature is available on all LG washers and models available at retailers nationwide," Brucia wrote. "On nearly every model, there is a Child Lock button on the control panel display. users should turn on the machine and then press and hold the Child Lock button for 5 seconds to activate it. Once activated, the machines cannot be used and a 'CL' (Child Lock) code will display."
Parents who need assistance can find instructions in the user manual or call LGE customer support.
More than 2,000 children each year are seriously hurt, and some die, after climbing, or falling into washers and dryers, or toppling down from them, according to Consumer Reports.
The National Center on Early Childhood Health and Wellness encourages parents to keep their washers and dryers closed when not in use. But some young children can open the doors and climb in regardless.
Watch: New gadgets that will keep your child safe at the beach or pool
The Association of Home Appliance Manufacturers issued a statement:
"Parents should feel comfortable talking with their children about safe and proper use of appliances in the home. U.S. safety standards address child entrapment, requiring that a latched door will open with 15 lbs. of force from the inside. However, once a clothes washer is activated, the door will lock and cannot be opened from the inside. Parents may also decide whether a third party latch on the outside of the washer is appropriate for their situation, depending on the age of the children in the home. We are heartened by the positive response to Ms. McIver’s Facebook post, and encourage all parents to be fully aware of the proper and safe use of their home appliances. It’s critically important to read the use and care manual to learn about available safety features and warnings."
To be extra safe, the Consumer Protection Safety Commission suggests installing a lock to the door of your utility room, “child-proofing” appliances and warning children to not play inside these appliances. To “child proof” your washer and dryer, the Wyoming Montana Safety Council encourages parents to install dryer locks and locking straps. ||||| Mom whose toddler was locked in filling washing machine: 'We were sick to our stomachs'
The McIver's added their own child safety lock to the washing machine where their toddler was locked. (Photo: Jennifer McIver)
The Colorado family whose toddler was locked in a front-loading washing machine as it filled with water shared more details of their harrowing ordeal with USA TODAY on Monday and said they plan to contact the machine's manufacturer and return it for a top loader.
"We don't want to slander the company," mother Jennifer McIver told All the Moms. "But at some point, we'd like to propose they add a feature so the door locks."
LG, the company that makes the machine, did not respond when asked about adding a door lock but in a release to All the Moms pointed to a feature that prevents the door from being opened once a button is pushed and the machine is started.
McIver wants a permanent lock on the door before the washing machine is started.
"We applaud Ms. McIver for telling her story and share in her efforts to make sure that consumers are aware of the child safety lock feature available on LG washing machines and dryers. We encourage people to use this important safety setting and to contact our customer support team if they need any assistance. (LG customer support can be reached 1 (800) 243-0000)."
'She was screaming'
On Monday, McIver revealed more details of the horrifying experience.
She originally shared the story on Facebook. It has since gone viral with more than 266,000 shares.
McIver said she was awakened by her crying 4-year-old around 7 a.m. Her children usually wake up before their parents, play a while and then come get them. Father Alan McIver caught the words, "Kloe, inside, washer," and ran to the basement.
McIver guessed Kloe, 3, was in the washer for about two minutes. And she escaped with just some bumps to the head.
"We think that our 4-year-old would have only had time to shut the door behind him, push start and then come right to us," she said, adding that the washer had maybe 2 cups of water in it. "Not enough that she could have drowned," McIver said, but she added that her daughter was tumbling around and was clearly terrified.
"She was screaming. It was airtight, and it was soundproof. But you could see it and hear these muffled sounds as you stood right next to it."
Jennifer McIver said she was originally hesitant to share her story for fear of mom-shaming, but she's managed to avoid that by avoiding comments on her Facebook post.
She stands by her closing thoughts on the post that "we need to be open and honest about our mistakes to help one another keep our kids safe."
Taking the machine back
The McIvers, of Conifer, Colorado, plan on exchanging the front-loading machine they got at Lowe's for a top loader.
While the McIvers added their own external child-safety lock to the front of the washing machine, Jennifer McIver said she would rather not look at it sitting in the basement after what happened to her daughter.
"We were sick to our stomachs for the rest of the day — a couple of days, actually," she said.

| What seemed like a "new and cool" home upgrade nearly turned into a tragedy for one family in Conifer, Colo., and mom Lindsey McIver is now speaking out about it. In a Facebook post last Wednesday, McIver writes that she was somewhat reluctant to share her story due to fears of "the inevitable online mom-shaming," but that she felt like she needed to share "the danger of this machine"—her brand-new washing machine. On July 9 the family replaced their broken washer with a front-load model. The next morning the couple awoke to their 4-year-old son's cries. The words he managed to get out: "Kloe. Inside. Washer." They raced downstairs to find their 3-year-old daughter locked inside the airtight machine. There was roughly a pint of water inside and it was tumbling. The girl's screams weren't audible outside, and McIver believes she had been in the machine for about two minutes. They were able to stop it, their daughter emerged unharmed, and they installed a child safety lock on the door—something McIver pushes others to do. She subsequently discovered the LG machine has a child-lock setting that, when activated, prevents the washer from being turned on, but it doesn't keep the door in a locked mode. "We don't want to slander the company," she tells USA Today. "But at some point, we'd like to propose they add [that] feature." She's not going to wait for it: The McIvers plan to swap the machine for a top loader. In a statement, LG "applaud[ed]" McIver for sharing her story. A rep for LG tells the Today Show the child lock feature it offers isn't required by law, but that "LG has proactively elected to add" it to its products. |

Q: what is the first time period mentioned?, Context: Around the end of the 19th century and into the 20th century, the Meiji era was marked by the reign of the Meiji Emperor. During this time, Japan started its modernization and rose to world power status. This era name means "Enlightened Rule". In Japan, the Meiji Restoration started in the 1860s, marking the rapid modernization by the Japanese themselves along European lines. Much research has focused on the issues of discontinuity versus continuity with the previous Tokugawa Period. In the 1960s younger Japanese scholars led by Irokawa Daikichi, reacted against the bureaucratic superstate, and began searching for the historic role of the common people . They avoided the elite, and focused not on political events but on social forces and attitudes. They rejected both Marxism and modernization theory as alien and confining. They stressed the importance of popular energies in the development of modern Japan. They enlarged history by using the methods of social history. It was not until the beginning of the Meiji Era that the Japanese government began taking modernization seriously. Japan expanded its military production base by opening arsenals in various locations. The hyobusho (war office) was replaced with a War Department and a Naval Department. The samurai class suffered great disappointment the following years.

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: The Earth is tilted 23 1/2 on its axis. This means that as the Earth rotates, one hemisphere has longer days with shorter nights. At the same time the other hemisphere has shorter days and longer nights. For example, in the Northern hemisphere summer begins on June 21. On this date, the North Pole is pointed directly toward the Sun. This is the longest day and shortest night of the year in the Northern Hemisphere. The South Pole is pointed The hemisphere that is tilted away from the Sun is cooler because it receives fewer direct rays. As Earth orbits the Sun, the Northern Hemisphere goes from winter to spring, then summer and fall. The Southern Hemisphere does the opposite from summer to fall to winter to spring. When it is winter in the Northern hemisphere, it is summer in the Southern hemisphere, and vice versa. What does this mean for you? If you live in North America, July 1 is usually a very warm day. If you traveled to Southern Australia, you would need a heavy coat. At the equator, the seasons never change. As a result, the average daily temperatures remain the same.

Q: Of Nicholas Trist, and Luis G Cuevas, which one is not American?, Context: The Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, signed on February 2, 1848, by American diplomat Nicholas Trist and Mexican plenipotentiary representatives Luis G. Cuevas, Bernardo Couto, and Miguel Atristain, ended the war, gave the U.S. undisputed control of Texas, and established the U.S.–Mexican border of the Rio Grande. As news of peace negotiations reached the state, new call to arms began to flare among the people of the state. But as the Mexican officials in Chihuahua heard that General Price was heading back to Mexico with a large force comprising several companies of infantry and three companies of cavalry and one division of light artillery from Santa Fe on February 8, 1848, Ángel Trías sent a message to Sacramento Pass to ask for succession of the area as they understood the war had concluded. General Price, misunderstanding this as a deception by the Mexican forces, continued to advance towards the state capital. On March 16, 1848 Price began negotiations with Ángel Trías, but the Mexican leader responded with an ultimatum to General Price. The American forces engaged with the Mexican forces near Santa Cruz de los Rosales on March 16, 1848. The Battle of Santa Cruz de los Rosales was the last battle of the Mexican–American War and it occurred after the peace treaty was signed. The American forces maintained control over the state capital for three months after the confirmation of the peace treaty. The American presence served to delay the possible succession of the state which had been discussed at the end of 1847, and the state remained under United States occupation until May 22, 1848.

Input: Speed is an important aspect of motion. It is a measure of how fast or slow something moves. To determine speed you must know two things. First, you must know how far something travels. Second, you need to know how long it takes to travel that far. Speed can be calculated using this formula: speed = distance time A familiar example is the speed of a car. In the U.S., this is usually expressed in miles per hour. Think about a trip you and your family made in the car. Maybe the trip covered 120 miles and it took 3 hours. What was the cars speed? speed = 120 mi = 40 mi/h 3h The speed of a car may also be expressed in kilometers per hour (km/h). The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s).

Grizzly monitoring rule hearings
Two public hearings on Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks' plans for counting and monitoring grizzly bears in the Northern Continental Divide Ecosystem remain before the Fish and Wildlife Commission considers its options for managing the bears as a big-game species. They include:
Sept. 26 – Missoula, Holiday Inn Downtown, 600 S. Pattee St., 6:30 p.m.
Sept. 27 – Kalispell, Flathead Valley Community College, Arts and Technology Building, 777 Grandview Drive, 6:30 p.m.

Box 200701, Helena, Montana, 59620-0701; or e-mail [email protected], and must be received no later than Oct. 26, 2018. ||||| Image copyright Reuters Image caption There are currently more than 700 grizzlies in the Yellowstone area
A US judge has ordered protection to be restored to grizzly bears in and around Yellowstone National Park, blocking plans for the first hunts there in nearly 30 years.
The Montana judge's ruling overturns the Trump administration's policy.
The judge sided with wildlife groups, who say grizzlies are under threat from climate change and loss of habitat.
Local ranchers argue the animals are killing their livestock and point to a growing number of attacks on people.
Grizzly numbers in the Yellowstone area have increased from 136 in 1975 to more than 700 today - in large part because of wildlife conservation measures, costing millions of dollars.
What did the judge say?
In his ruling on Monday, Judge Dana Christensen stated that the case was "not about the ethics of hunting".
This was, the judge continued, about whether the Fish and Wildlife Service considered threats to grizzlies' recovery in the long-term when it stripped the animals of their threatened species status in June 2017.
Jude Christensen said that in his view the answer was clearly "no".
How did state and federal officials react?
Wyoming Governor Matt Mead expressed disappointment.
"Grizzly bear recovery should be viewed as a conservation success story," he was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
He added that the Endangered Species Act had a number of flaws, urging Congress to intervene and make changes.
Meanwhile, the Fish and Wildlife Service said it was reviewing the ruling and considering what steps to take.
Hunters in the states of Wyoming and Idaho had been planning to kill up to 23 grizzlies over the next few months.
It would have involved the first such hunts outside Alaska since 1991.

BILLINGS, Mont. (AP) — A U.S. judge ordered federal protections restored for grizzly bears in the Northern Rocky Mountains on Monday, a move that blocks the first grizzly hunts planned in the Lower 48 states in almost three decades.
Wyoming and Idaho had been on the cusp of allowing hunters to kill up to 23 bears this fall. U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen had twice delayed the hunts, and the latest order blocking them was due to expire later this week. The hunts would have been the first in U.S. outside Alaska since 1991.
Christensen wrote in his ruling that the case was "not about the ethics of hunting." Rather, he said, it was about whether federal officials adequately considered threats to the species' long-term recovery when they lifted protections for more than 700 bears living around Yellowstone National Park.
In the judge's view, the answer was no.
He noted that an estimated 50,000 bears once roamed the contiguous U.S. and said it would be "simplistic at best and disingenuous at worst" not to consider the status of grizzlies outside the Yellowstone region, one of the few areas where they have bounced back.
State and federal officials reacted with disappointment. Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead said the ruling provided further evidence of flaws in the Endangered Species Act and the need for Congress to make changes.
"Grizzly bear recovery should be viewed as a conservation success story," Mead said in a statement.
A bid to remove protections for the region's gray wolves ran into similar legal problems last decade. In that case, Congress intervened in 2011 to strip safeguards from the animals through legislation, opening the way to public wolf hunts.
Pressure to lift protections on bears and allow hunting has increased in recent years as the number of conflicts between bears and people increased. Most of those conflicts involve attacks on livestock but occasionally bears attack people, such as a Wyoming hunting guide killed earlier this month by a pair of grizzly bears.
The ruling marks a victory for wildlife advocates and Native American tribes that sued when the Interior Department last year revoked federal protections. They argued that the animals face continued threats from climate change and loss of habitat.
Tim Preso, an attorney with EarthJustice who represented many of the plaintiffs, said Christensen's ruling made clear that the government had moved too hastily to remove protections because bears are absent from much of their historical range.
"Putting the blinders on to everything other than Yellowstone grizzlies was illegal," he said. "We tried to get them to put on the brakes, but they refused to do that."
Hunting and agriculture groups and the National Rifle Association had intervened in the case seeking to keep management of grizzlies under state control.
Restoring protections will allow the grizzly population to grow unchecked, "endangering the lives and livelihoods of westerners who settled the region long ago," said Cody Wisniewski, representing the Wyoming Farm Bureau.
The grizzlies living in and around Yellowstone were classified as a threatened species in 1975 after most bears had been killed off early last century and the population was down to just 136 animals.
Government biologists contend Yellowstone's grizzlies are now thriving, have adapted to changes in their diet and are among the best-managed bears in the world.
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service spokeswoman Jennifer Strickland said the agency was reviewing Monday's ruling but stood behind its decision to lift protections.
The agency initially declared a successful recovery for the Yellowstone population in 2007, but a federal judge ordered protections to remain while wildlife officials studied whether the decline of a major food source — whitebark pine seeds — could threaten the bears' survival.
The Fish and Wildlife Service concluded last year it had addressed that and all other threats and said the grizzlies were no longer a threatened species requiring restrictive federal protections for them and their habitat.
That decision turned management of the bears over to the states, which agreed on a plan that set hunting quotas based on the number of deaths each year to ensure the population stays above 600 animals.
The federal agency has been moving toward lifting federal protections for another group of about 1,000 bears living in Montana's Glacier National Park and the Bob Marshall Wilderness, but it first wanted to see how Christensen ruled on the Yellowstone case.
Plaintiffs' attorney Matthew Bishop with the Western Environmental Law Center said the agency should reconsider those plans in light of Christensen's ruling.
"The idea of recovering grizzly bears in the Lower 48 should still be on the table. They shouldn't get away with this piecemeal delisting approach," Bishop said.

A: | Score one for the bears: A judge has restored protection for a group of around 700 grizzly bears living around Yellowstone National Park, meaning Wyoming and Idaho will have to call off the first bear hunts planned in the lower 48 states in nearly 30 years. Judge Dana Christensen, siding with wildlife groups against Trump administration policies, said the ruling was "not about the ethics of hunting," but about whether threats to the species' long-term survival had been considered when protections were lifted last year, the BBC reports. It would be "simplistic at best and disingenuous at worst" for federal authorities not to consider how removing protection would affect grizzly bears in other areas where populations have been recovering, Christensen wrote. Alliance for the Wild Rockies Director Michael Garrity tells the Billings Gazette that the bears' situation is comparable to an isolated town of 700 people where people become inbred after a few generations. "The same thing is happening to Yellowstone grizzlies," he says. "They can't be recovered until their population is reconnected to the grizzly bear population around Glacier Park and the Bob Marshall Wilderness area." Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead was among the officials who reacted with disappointment, the AP reports. "Grizzly bear recovery should be viewed as a conservation success story," he said, arguing that the ruling shows why Congress should make changes to the Endangered Species Act. |

[Q]: (CNN) -- Britain's Chris Froome won the 17th stage of the Tour de France on Wednesday to strengthen his grip on the yellow jersey. Froome completed Wednesday's 32-kilometer time trial in 51 minutes 33 seconds, nine seconds ahead of Spain's Alberto Contador with his compatriot Joaquim Rodriguez Oliver finishing a further second behind in third. "I couldn't believe it when I got over the line and saw I had the fastest time," Froome said after his third stage win of this year's tour. "I went into today thinking I was going to try and limit my losses, thinking about the days to come now. So to go through the finish line with the fastest time, I really didn't see that coming." On mountainous terrain along a frequently twisting route most of the riders opted for their traditional road bikes over the more aerodynamic machines used in time trials. But Froome opted to use both on the stage, switching to a time trial model for the final 12-kilometer descent. The swap proved decisive as the Briton clawed back a 20-second advantage Contador had built up earlier in the stage. The Spaniard now moves up to second overall, four minutes 34 seconds behind Froome with just four stages remaining. Contador's Saxo-Tinkoff teammate Roman Kreuziger is now third and trails Froome by four minutes and 51 seconds. Thursday sees the riders tackle the gruelling 172.5-kilometer 18th stage which concludes with a double ascent of Alpe d'Huez over the last 60 kilometers. <sep>How long did Fromme bike on the 17th stage before the final descent?<sep>32 kilometers

In a significant victory for law enforcement, a federal appeals court on Tuesday said that government authorities could extract historical location data directly from telecommunications carriers without a search warrant.
The closely watched case, in the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, is the first ruling that squarely addresses the constitutionality of warrantless searches of historical location data stored by cellphone service providers. Ruling 2 to 1, the court said a warrantless search was “not per se unconstitutional” because location data was “clearly a business record” and therefore not protected by the Fourth Amendment.
The ruling is likely to intensify legislative efforts, already bubbling in Congress and in the states, to consider measures to require warrants based on probable cause to obtain cellphone location data.
The appeals court ruling sharply contrasts with a New Jersey State Supreme Court opinion in mid-July that said the police required a warrant to track a suspect’s whereabouts in real time. That decision relied on the New Jersey Constitution, whereas the ruling Tuesday in the Fifth Circuit was made on the basis of the federal Constitution.

The Supreme Court has yet to weigh in on whether cellphone location data is protected by the Constitution. The case, which was initially brought in Texas, is not expected to go to the Supreme Court because it is “ex parte,” or filed by only one party — in this case, the government.
But the case could renew calls for the highest court to look at the issue, if another federal court rules differently on the same question. And two other federal cases involving this issue are pending.
“The opinion is clear that the government can access cell site records without Fourth Amendment oversight,” said Orin Kerr, a constitutional law scholar at George Washington University Law School who filed an amicus brief in the case.
For now, the ruling sets an important precedent: It allows law enforcement officials in the Fifth Circuit to chronicle the whereabouts of an American with a court order that falls short of a search warrant based on probable cause.
“This decision is a big deal,” said Catherine Crump, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union. “It’s a big deal and a big blow to Americans’ privacy rights.”
The group reviewed records from more than 200 local police departments last year, concluding that the demand for cellphone location data had led some cellphone companies to develop “surveillance fees” to enable police to track suspects.
In reaching its decision on Tuesday, the federal appeals court went on to agree with the government’s contention that consumers knowingly give up their location information to the telecommunications carrier every time they make a call or send a text message on their cellphones.
“That means it is not protected by Fourth Amendment when the government goes to a third-party service provider and issues something that is not a warrant to demand production of those records,” said Mark Eckenwiler, a former Justice Department lawyer who worked on the case and is now with the Washington law firm Perkins Coie. “On this kind of historical cell site information, this is the first one to address the core constitutional question.”

Historical location data is crucial to law enforcement officials. Mr. Eckenwiler offered the example of drug investigations: A cellphone carrier can establish where a suspect met his supplier and how often he returned to a particular location. Likewise, location data can be vital in establishing people’s habits and preferences, including whether they worship at a church or mosque or whether they are present at a political protest, which is why, civil liberties advocates say, it should be accorded the highest privileges of privacy protection.
The decision could also bear implications for other government efforts to collect vast amounts of so-called metadata, under the argument that it constitutes “business records,” as in the National Security Agency’s collection of Verizon phone records for millions of Americans.
“It provides support for the government’s view that that procedure is constitutional, obtaining Verizon call records, because it holds that records are business records,” said Mr. Kerr, of George Washington University. “It doesn’t make it a slam dunk but it makes a good case for the government to argue that position.”
An important element in Tuesday’s ruling is the court’s presumption of what consumers should know about the way cellphone technology works. “A cell service subscriber, like a telephone user, understands that his cellphone must send a signal to a nearby cell tower in order to wirelessly connect his call,” the court ruled, going on to note that “contractual terms of service and providers’ privacy policies expressly state that a provider uses a subscriber’s location information to route his cellphone calls.”
In any event, the court added, the use of cellphones “is entirely voluntary.”
The ruling also gave a nod to the way in which fast-moving technological advances have challenged age-old laws on privacy. Consumers today may want privacy over location records, the court acknowledged: “But the recourse for these desires is in the market or the political process: in demanding that service providers do away with such records (or anonymize them) or in lobbying elected representatives to enact statutory protections.”
Cellphone privacy measures have been proposed in the Senate and House that would require law enforcement agents to obtain search warrants before prying open location records. Montana recently became the first state to require a warrant for location data. Maine soon followed. California passed a similar measure last year but Gov. Jerry Brown, a Democrat, vetoed it, saying it did not strike what he called the right balance between the demands of civil libertarians and the police. ||||| Dow Jones Reprints: This copy is for your personal, non-commercial use only.

Output: | The federal government can grab GPS data indicating where you've been directly from your phone carrier without a warrant, the US Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled yesterday, saying that the practice was "not per se unconstitutional." Technically, that data is a "business record," meaning it's not protected by the Fourth Amendment, the judges said in a 2-1 decision, according to the New York Times. "This decision is a big deal," an ACLU lawyer said, "and a big blow to Americans' privacy rights." But hey, privacy fans, it's not all bad news. The Justice Department also made a major concession yesterday by agreeing that it must tell defendants when it has used mass surveillance techniques, like the ones revealed by Edward Snowden, to build its case against them, the Wall Street Journal reports. Until now, everyone who's tried to challenge the surveillance programs has run into dead ends in court because they couldn't prove they were subjected to them. Now, at least one group of people—namely, terrorism defendants—will be able to. |

Timothy likes to play sports. He spends his time after school playing basketball and baseball. Sometimes Timothy pretends he is a famous baseball pitcher for his favorite team with his friends. He plays with his friends Mandy and Andrew. Timothy also plays pretend when he is alone. He has an imaginary friend named Sean. Sean is an elephant who watches television with Timothy. Mandy likes playing baseball but she also likes to paint. Mandy's favorite class at school is art. She likes making pictures of flowers. Her teacher says she is a good artist. She painted a picture of a tree for her teacher. There were red and yellow leaves on it. It had apples on it. When Andrew goes home after baseball, he likes to eat a snack. He eats carrots and bananas. If he is a good boy his mom, Mrs. Smith, sometimes gives him milk and cookies. Afterwards, Andrew finishes his homework. <sep>Who does Timothy play with?<sep>Basketball and baseball
Solution: No
Reason: Based on the passage Timothy plays with his friends Mandy and Andrew. So, the given answer is incorrect and the output should be "No".
Now, solve this instance: Late on the next Sunday afternoon Gifford had gone for a country walk which he had arranged to bring him round in time for the evening service at the little village church of Wynford standing just outside the park boundary. His way took him by well-remembered field-paths which, although towards the end of his walk darkness had set in, he had no difficulty in tracing. The last field he crossed brought him to a by-road joining the highway which ran through Wynford, the junction being about a quarter of a mile from the church. As he neared the stile which admitted to the road he saw, on the other side of the hedge and showing just above it, the head of a man. At the sound of his footsteps the man quickly turned, and, as for a moment the fitful moonlight caught his face, Gifford was sure he recognized Gervase Henshaw. But he took no notice and kept on his way to the stile, which he crossed and gained the road. As he did so he glanced back. A horse and trap was waiting there with Henshaw in it. He was now bending down, probably with the object of concealing his identity, and had moved on a few paces farther down the road. <sep>Where did Gifford see Gervase Henshaw?<sep>Other side of Hedge

Part 2. Example
what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Answer: Russian Revolution
Explanation: This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
Part 3. Exercise
Which of the following is not an astronaut: McDivitt, Low, or Schweickart?, Context: Apollo 8 was planned to be the D mission in December 1968, crewed by McDivitt, Scott and Schweickart, launched on a Saturn V instead of two Saturn IBs. In the summer it had become clear that the LM would not be ready in time. Rather than waste the Saturn V on another simple Earth-orbiting mission, ASPO Manager George Low suggested the bold step of sending Apollo 8 to orbit the Moon instead, deferring the D mission to the next mission in March 1969, and eliminating the E mission. This would keep the program on track. The Soviet Union had sent animals around the Moon on September 15, 1968, aboard Zond 5, and it was believed they might soon repeat the feat with human cosmonauts. The decision was not announced publicly until successful completion of Apollo 7. Gemini veterans Frank Borman and James Lovell, and rookie William Anders captured the world's attention by making 10 lunar orbits in 20 hours, transmitting television pictures of the lunar surface on Christmas Eve, and returning safely to Earth.
Answer: | Low |

How to be familiar with various types of mechanisms of organic reactions
Organic reactions can usually proceed in one of two ways.
One of them is concerted reaction that takes place in one step with one transition state. The other type of reactions in organic chemistry is the non-concerted type of reactions.
OPTIONS:
- The latter type is the dominant type of most chemical reactions. Non-concerted organic reactions usually have intermediate structures that are highly reactive carbon species.
- Recognizing how organic reactions can usually progress in one simple process will make it easier to see a pattern of how they might be managed. While it can be hard to differentiate these right ways, focusing on what organic reactions are going to happen will get you in the habit of listening to the environment.
- Produce magnets come in all shapes and sizes when produced in a particular form. For example, special objects such as a potato can be generated with organic materials such as cotton, felt, or crepe.
- One way is creating a new reaction with differing directions, but there are important differences between the two reactions. In the non-concerted type, the side reaction taking place is composed of three different reactions.
OUT: The latter type is the dominant type of most chemical reactions. Non-concerted organic reactions usually have intermediate structures that are highly reactive carbon species.

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

After more than a year of effort, attorneys with Northwest Justice Project earlier this week told 25 families in a mobile home park here that they can keep their homes and no longer need to fear eviction. The East Wenatchee City Council has entered into an Interlocal Agreement with the Wenatchee Housing Authority authorizing the Authority to purchase and maintain the Mobile Park Plaza mobile home park. Located just north of the Wenatchee Valley Mall, the park had been threatened with closure for more than a year. "We cannot say enough about how relieved we are that this is over," said Manuel Luna, one of the residents of Mobile Park Plaza. "We were afraid that no solution would be found, and that our families would have no place to go. We are very grateful for the help of our attorneys. Without them, we would not have saved our homes. We are also thankful for the help of the Housing Authority, the City Council and Mayor Steve Lacy." Formerly owned by local businessman Dan Jennings, Mobile Park Plaza had been home to 45 low-income families, many of them Latino farm workers. In October 2000 Jennings gave the park residents notice of his intent to close the park effective November 30, 2001. While some park residents decided to move, others, including 25 families, organized an informal association to relocate or save their homes. Unable to afford private legal counsel, the families asked for help from legal services attorneys at the Northwest Justice Project and Columbia Legal Services. In the succeeding months, these attorneys worked with representatives of the Greater Wenatchee Housing Authority, the state Office of Community Development, Chelan County, the City of East Wenatchee, state legislators, Jennings and others to secure funding and find a solution. "There seemed to be a never-ending set of obstacles," said Patrick Pleas, an attorney with Northwest Justice Project. "Mr. Jennings had financial considerations, the City had growth and economic development considerations, and the State and Housing Authority had their own concerns. Thankfully, hard work and good will from all parties allowed us to find a solution that works for everyone." Northwest Justice Project and Columbia Legal Services are non-profit organizations that provide civil legal assistance to low-income individuals and families throughout Washington state. Members of the state's Access to Justice Network, these organizations work with thousands of volunteer attorneys to ensure that justice is available to those who face critical legal problems and can't afford private legal counsel. <sep>What park had been threatened with closure for more than a year?<sep>Mobile Park Plaza

What causes a change in motion? The application of a force. Any time an object changes motion, a force has been applied. In what ways can this happen? Force can cause an object at rest to start moving. Forces can cause objects to speed up or slow down. Forces can cause a moving object to stop. Forces can also cause a change in direction. In short, forces cause changes in motion. The moving object may change its speed, its direction, or both. We know that changes in motion require a force. We know that the size of the force determines the change in motion. How much an objects motion changes when a force is applied depends on two things. It depends on the strength of the force. It also depends on the objects mass. Think about some simple tasks you may regularly do. You may pick up a baseball. This requires only a very small force. <sep>Would the mass of a baseball affect how much force you have to use to pick it up?<sep>No

Before the mysterious disappearance of one of its passenger jets this month, Malaysia wasn't a country used to finding itself dominating headlines around the world. Some of its Southeast Asian neighbors, including Indonesia and the Philippines, have suffered devastating natural disasters in recent years and are all too familiar with the media frenzy that accompanies a major crisis. But Malaysia has largely managed to stay out of the international spotlight since its independence from British colonial rule more than half a century ago. "It is one of these countries, because of its geography, that doesn't have earthquakes," said Ernest Bower, senior adviser for Southeast Asia studies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "It doesn't have tsunamis. It hasn't been tested with a disaster like this." The disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 has thrust the government into the dazzling glare of worldwide attention. And it hasn't emerged with very good grades. "I think on a stress test, they're failing," Bower told CNN's Jake Tapper, pointing to the government's coordination of different agencies and communication with other countries. China among critics Criticism and complaints have come from other countries involved in the search for the missing plane, including China and Vietnam, and from the relatives of passengers. Malaysian officials have created confusion by issuing contradictory statements on key aspects of the investigation. The majority of the people on board the plane were Chinese, and Beijing has increasingly voiced its displeasure with the search, especially after Malaysia announced over the weekend that evidence suggested the plane had been deliberately flown west into the Indian Ocean, away from its last confirmed location over the South China Sea. "The new information means the intensive search in the South China Sea for the whole past week was worthless and would never bear fruit," said a commentary published by China's state-run news agency Xinhua. "Even worse, the golden time for saving possible survivors, if any, was generously wasted." <sep>What neighboring countries of Malaysia have recently suffered natural disasters?<sep>Australia
A: | No |

Q: Magnets are able to place a force on certain materials. This force is called a magnetic force. The force a magnet exerts is a little different from the forces you may normally think about. You exert a force on a book when you lift it. You also exert a force on the pedals of your bicycle. In both those cases, those forces cause a change. The change you see in both these cases is called motion. Magnets, too, can produce change. They can produce motion just like you do. Unlike you, magnets do not have to touch something to exert a force. A magnetic force is exerted over a distance. Thats right, a magnet can push or pull certain items without ever touching them. Thats how the maglev train works. Do you know another type of force that does not require objects to touch? These forces are known as non-contact forces. Another type of non-contact force you may be familiar with is gravity. Gravity too can cause changes in motion. Gravity holds our moon in orbit without touching it. <sep>What kind of force is used to move a maglev train?<sep>The maglev train can push or pull certain items without ever touching them
A: | No |

How to use garlic against stress and toxins for a better mood
Prepare garlic for cooking.
Remove the skin by first placing the bulb on a cutting board or hard surface. Then gently, but firmly, apply pressure with the palm of your hand at about a 20-30 angle.
OPTIONS:
- Slowly release your palm to use enough pressure to press the soft flesh through the bulb. Continue a few times to ensure that the garlic has been fully absorbed.
- The garlic should fall out of the bulb easily, so use a knife to gently cut it away from the bulb. Make sure to leave plenty of room so that there is enough room to simmer the garlic.
- This will cause the layers of skin that hold the bulb together to separate. Garlic cloves are best either chopped or crushed and then allowed to sit for 10-15 minutes to allow for the activation of the allicin in the garlic.
- Be careful not to crack or bruise the garlic so it will keep in the olive oil during cooking. This method works extremely well with olive oil.
A: This will cause the layers of skin that hold the bulb together to separate. Garlic cloves are best either chopped or crushed and then allowed to sit for 10-15 minutes to allow for the activation of the allicin in the garlic.

Alexander II's death caused a great setback for the reform movement. One of his last ideas was to draft plans for an elected parliament, or Duma, which were completed the day before he died but not yet released to the Russian people. In a matter of 48 hours, Alexander II planned to release his plan for the duma to the Russian people. Had he lived, Russia might have followed a path to constitutional monarchy instead of the long road of oppression that defined his successor's reign. The first action Alexander III took after his father's death was to tear up those plans. A Duma would not come into fruition until 1905, when Alexander II's grandson, Nicholas II, commissioned the Duma following extreme pressure on the monarchy as a result of the Russian Revolution of 1905. The assassination triggered major suppression of civil liberties in Russia, and police brutality burst back in full force after experiencing some restraint under the reign of Alexander II, whose death was witnessed first-hand by his son, Alexander III, and his grandson, Nicholas II, both future emperors who vowed not to have the same fate befall them. Both of them used the Okhrana to arrest protestors and uproot suspected rebel groups, creating further suppression of personal freedom for the Russian people. A series of anti-Jewish pogroms and antisemitic legislation, the May Laws, were yet another result. Finally, the tsar's assassination also inspired anarchists to advocate "'propaganda by deed'--the use of a spectacular act of violence to incite revolution." With construction starting in 1883, the Church of the Savior on Blood was built on the site of Alexander's assassination and dedicated in his memory. <sep>Who was the founder of the idea for an elected parliament in Russia?<sep>Alexander II

Newton was the first one to suggest that gravity is universal. That means gravity affects all objects in the universe. Thats why his law of gravity is called the law of universal gravitation. Universal gravitation means that all objects are affected by gravity in the same way. This is the reason the apple falling from the tree and the Moon being held in orbit is the same. Universal gravitation also means that while Earth exerts a pull on you, you exert a pull on Earth. In fact, there is gravity between you and every mass around you. Even tiny molecules of gas are attracted to one another by the force of gravity. Newtons law had a huge impact on how people thought about the universe.
