Example Input: What if you could drain all of Earths oceans? What would it look like? You might be really surprised. You see that the surface has two main features. It has continents and ocean basins. Continents are large land areas. These are the areas that are mostly above sea level. Ocean basins extend from the edges of continents. They include the ocean floor and Earths deep ocean trenches. You will also notice the ocean floor is not flat. It too has many Continents are much older than ocean basins. Some rocks on the continents are billions of years old. Ocean basins may only be millions of years old. Because the continents are so old, a lot has happened to them! As we view the land around us, we see landforms. Landforms are physical features on Earths surface. These features change over time, but how? There are actually two types of forces at work. <sep>What are two elements of ocean basins?<sep>Basins and continents
Example Output: No
Example Input: When land is cleared, habitats are lost. It may be cleared for agriculture. It may also be used for building new homes or businesses. Within the past 100 years, the amount of land used for agriculture has almost doubled. Land used for grazing cattle has more than doubled. Many wetlands have also been lost to agriculture. The U.S. has lost almost all the natural tall-grass prairies. Thee areas of tall thick grass have virtually disappeared. These areas of land had thick fertile soil. Their grasses had very deep root systems. These deep and thick roots reduced the amount of soil erosion. They also were home to many plants and animals. Prairies were wonderful places. They were home to colorful flowers, prairie dogs, and herds of bison. <sep>In the last 100 years, how much has the agricultural clearing grown and how is it used?<sep>It has tripled, and used for cattle
Example Output: No
Example Input: The letterhead on correspondence still bears the Bexar County Legal Aid name, even though the organization is no longer. Texas Rural Legal Aid - known for its fearless and sometimes controversial advocacy of the poorest of the poor - last week took over four other corporations serving the legal needs of the indigent in Southwest Texas, including the one in Bexar County. The new 68-county legal aid organization has yet to be named and stretches from El Paso to Corpus Christi, Harlingen to Austin. The leader for the super-sized law firm has big plans. "I'm more interested in looking at what we as advocates can do to address the serious problems of poverty than the number of cases we close," said David Hall, the TRLA executive director. In the Rio Grande Valley, Hall's attorneys set up separate groups to assist small-business owners and residents with low-interest loans and legal representation. They also operate a legal arm that assists migrant workers from Texas to Kentucky. Now, Hall said, he wants to make services to the poor more efficient by working with law students who will handle less complicated legal matters, allowing licensed attorneys to take more "high impact" cases to court. "What we need to do is handle cases as efficiently as we can, leveraging the amount of time of the lawyer that goes in there and maximizing the number of people that they can help at one time," Hall said. His plan is to place the 110 attorneys on staff in teams working on specialized legal issues. He wants to expand the law clinic it already has with St. Mary's University Law School to involve students at the University of Texas Law School. The law students at St. Mary's interview potential clients, assist them with filling out legal documents and answer the telephones for the legal hotline, freeing up TRLA lawyers to handle the complicated cases, Hall said. By the end of September, Hall said all the attorneys working with the poor in the 68county area will be placed on the same computer network so they can pass cases to the best available attorneys. Last year, board members on the former Legal Aid of Central Texas and Bexar County Legal Aid resisted the merger, saying that the mergers were done illegally and without the input of board members. They also argued that Hall's litigious style hampered their ability to garner funds from Congress. TRLA generated controversy in 1996, when its attorneys challenged the rights of 800 military personnel to vote in Val Verde County elections by absentee ballot after a former Ku Klux Klan member won a county commissioner post. Brendan Gill, the former executive director of the Bexar County group, said he has since come to see the merger as a positive move for South Texas. "I always knew there were good points to merging, just as I knew that there were bad points," Gill said. <sep>What are the functions of Hall's firms in the Rio Grand Valley?<sep>Assist with low interest loans, legal rep. for poor and operate as a legal arm for Texas and Kentucky migrant workers

Once again this year, the scheduling of leaf pickup is poorly organized. Surely, the city has enough historical data and internal management resources available to realize the first of two pickups is a complete waste of taxpayer money and staff time? The swamp maples that adorn our street are still over 99 per cent of complete foliage, yet a crew wandered aimlessly sucking up air. Are predetermined snow removal dates the next thing citizens can expect?
Can we infer the following?

Input: A Manchester man accused of robbing a convenience store while armed with a sharp stone was arrested after returning to the store to apologize.
Click to watch News 9's coverage.
Manchester police said Carlos Reyes, 46, went to the Shop-N-Go store twice Tuesday. The first time, he took money from the store, and the second time, he came back to return it, they said.
Police said the store on Massabessic Street was robbed just after noon Tuesday.
"Just after noontime yesterday, an individual walked into the store, allegedly armed with a sharp stone," Lt. Brian O'Keefe said. "He threatened the clerk and took roughly $200 worth of cash and fled."
Police released a surveillance photo of the suspect holding the weapon in front of the man behind the counter. Police said they recovered the sharpened rock inside the store.
Police were called back to the store later that night for a report of a suspicious person who turned out to be Reyes.
"About seven hours later, he decided that he was feeling bad about his actions, and he allegedly went back there to apologize, at which time he was placed into custody by a Manchester police officer who arrived on scene," O'Keefe said.
Court records said Reyes told police that he robbed the store earlier in the day, because he was hungry and that he was trying to return the money to the clerk.
Police said Reyes only had a small portion of the money that was originally taken, but what happened is unusual.
"In 20 years, I haven't seen that," O'Keefe said. "So no, it's not a very frequent occurrence in the Queen City."
Bail was set at $5,000. ||||| MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — A man is accused of robbing a New Hampshire convenience store while armed with a sharp rock, then returning hours later to give back the money.
Police say 46-year-old Carlos Reyes, of Manchester, was charged with robbery and was scheduled to be arraigned Wednesday. It wasn't immediately known if he had lawyer, and a phone number couldn't be found for him.
Officers responded to a Shop-N-Go just after noon Tuesday. Witness Saoul Haney tells WMUR-TV (http://bit.ly/1spGUG7 ) that the robber apologized for the theft as he fled the scene and said he needed the money.
The clerk called police hours later and said the man had arrived to "turn himself in" and began crying.
Reyes was arrested after police reviewed surveillance photos. |||||
Output: | He may have robbed a Stop-N-Go, but it looks like a New Hampshire man decided to stop and turn back instead—and return the money he was said to have stolen, WMUR reports. Carlos Reyes, 46, allegedly entered the Manchester convenience store just after noon on Tuesday, armed with a sharp rock, per the AP. A witness says the suspect said he was sorry while demanding the loot, explaining he needed the cash. Reyes then reportedly took off, but a few hours later, according to a Stop-N-Go clerk, Reyes trudged back into the store weeping and gave the money back. The cops were called once again, and after they reviewed the surveillance tape, Reyes was arrested on charges of armed robbery. He's due in court Wednesday. (He must have felt really, really … heavy.) |

NHL commissioner Gary Bettman apologized last week in person after the owners ratified the new collective bargaining agreement. (Frank Franklin II/Associated Press)
With hockey set to return after a four-month lockout, the NHL is apologizing again.
Echoing last week's remarks by Commissioner Gary Bettman, the NHL is using full-page newspaper ads Thursday to tell fans it's sorry for the lockout that delayed the season and trimmed the schedule from 82 games to 48. The season starts Saturday.
The ad says: "Like you, we've missed NHL hockey."
The league is thanking fans for their patience and apologizing for the lost games. The ad says the league is "committed to earning back your trust and support" with "hard work and unwavering dedication."
The ad is running in about 40 newspapers across the United States and Canada. It appears in at least one newspaper in each of the NHL's 30 team markets as well as a handful of national papers in the two countries. ||||| Sorry is as sorry does. Case in point: The National Hockey League is placing full-page apology ads in major U.S. and Canadian newspapers in the run-up to resumption of play this weekend following a bitter lockout that's truncated the season from 82 to 48 games. Most commenters take a dim view of the "Dear Fans" letter, decrying higher ticket prices, the perceived greed/arrogance of both labor and management, and the income lost by stadium, bar, restaurant and hotel workers because of the dispute. I suppose the paid-media mea culpa was to be expected, along with the generally negative reaction. It's probably not the least sincere professional-sports apology ever. (Lance Armstrong may end up owning that crown for some time—if he can stoop to actually saying the words "I'm sorry.") Still, some of the NHL's wording seems odd. The second paragraph starts, "We are committed to earning back your trust and support." Placing a period after the first five words would've summed up the position of owners and players quite nicely. And there's this line: "So let's drop the puck and marvel at all the remarkable things the players do with it." I'm sure disgruntled and disgusted fans could supply plenty of creative and painful suggestions. Read the full letter below:
Dear fans:
As your teams prepare for the opening face-off of the 2012-13 season, we thank you for your patience and we apologize to you for the time we missed. From today forward, we will do everything we can to make this season worth the wait.
We are committed to earning back your trust and support the same way it's earned on the ice: with hard work and unwavering dedication. Your cheers drive us forward, and we're committed to making you proud to be a fan - by delivering a game with the action, the skill and the intensity you deserve.
Like you, we've missed NHL hockey. We've missed the clutch goals, the big hits, the electrifying saves. We've missed the flash of red light, the sound of the siren and the way the building shakes when the home team scores.
It's time to focus on the best athletes in the world, on the enduring greatness of the game and - above all - on the connection that binds fans, players and families everywhere. NHL hockey is the best in the world. The future is incredibly bright. So let's drop the puck and marvel at all the remarkable things the players do with it.
With respect and appreciation,
The National Hockey League.
P.S. We hope you'll get in on the action. And again, thank you.
And here's the great Nike hockey ad that Wieden + Kennedy in New York aired a few weeks ago, before the lockout ended. |||||
| The National Hockey League finally kicks off its 2012-2013 season tomorrow, but before it drops the puck, it has something to say to its fans: So sorry 'bout that four-month lockout. The NHL took out full-page ads in about 40 newspapers in Canada and the United States yesterday, including both national papers and at least one in each city of the NHL's 30 teams, apologizing for the dispute that reduced this season from 82 games to 48, reports the CBC. "From today forward, we will do everything we can to make this season worth the wait," said the NHL in the ad. But color Adweek's David Gianatasio unimpressed. He quips, "The second paragraph starts, 'We are committed to earning back your trust and support.' Placing a period after the first five words would've summed up the position of owners and players quite nicely." |

Teacher:In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: What began late in the 63rd year of the previous century?, Context: It also became clear that Apollo would outgrow the Canaveral launch facilities in Florida. The two newest launch complexes were already being built for the Saturn I and IB rockets at the northernmost end: LC-34 and LC-37. But an even bigger facility would be needed for the mammoth rocket required for the manned lunar mission, so land acquisition was started in July 1961 for a Launch Operations Center (LOC) immediately north of Canaveral at Merritt Island. The design, development and construction of the center was conducted by Kurt H. Debus, a member of Dr. Wernher von Braun's original V-2 rocket engineering team. Debus was named the LOC's first Director. Construction began in November 1962. Upon Kennedy's death, President Johnson issued an executive order on November 29, 1963, to rename the LOC and Cape Canaveral in honor of Kennedy.

Q: Assisting Zionist causes Einstein was a figurehead leader in helping establish the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, which opened in 1925, and was among its first Board of Governors. Earlier, in 1921, he was asked by the biochemist and president of the World Zionist Organization, Chaim Weizmann, to help raise funds for the planned university. He also submitted various suggestions as to its initial programs. Among those, he advised first creating an Institute of Agriculture in order to settle the undeveloped land. That should be followed, he suggested, by a Chemical Institute and an Institute of Microbiology, to fight the various ongoing epidemics such as malaria, which he called an "evil" that was undermining a third of the country's development. Establishing an Oriental Studies Institute, to include language courses given in both Hebrew and Arabic, for scientific exploration of the country and its historical monuments, was also important. Chaim Weizmann later became Israel's first president. Upon his death while in office in November 1952 and at the urging of Ezriel Carlebach, Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion offered Einstein the position of President of Israel, a mostly ceremonial post. The offer was presented by Israel's ambassador in Washington, Abba Eban, who explained that the offer "embodies the deepest respect which the Jewish people can repose in any of its sons". Einstein declined, and wrote in his response that he was "deeply moved", and "at once saddened and ashamed" that he could not accept it. <sep>What position did Einstein decline, though he was "saddened and ashamed" not to accept it?<sep>The Jewish people

Output: | More details have been released surrounding a South Dakota state representative's death in a kayaking accident off the South Pacific island of Rarotonga. Rep. Craig Tieszen, 68, and his brother-in-law, 61-year-old Brent Moline, borrowed hotel kayaks last Wednesday and paddled out around 9am into what is described as having been a tranquil lagoon. But as a Facebook post from Cook Islands Police explains, they became "caught in the current and they were dragged to where the waves were breaking." Police say they were accompanied by a younger male who tried to rescue them and then returned to the hotel to get help. Police were alerted just before 11am. One man "was retrieved from on the reef," the other, "from over the reef." A Cook Islands Police rep tells the Argus Leader that no life jackets were recovered, but that lagoon kayakers often don't use them because the water is so calm. He said rough waves stripped the men of their clothing. Both were pronounced dead just before 1pm. The Rapid City Journal cites an interview with the president of Cook Islands Water Safety, who said the channel that links the Muri Lagoon to the ocean features signs warning of strong currents. The Black Hills Pioneer reports the men were in the Cook Islands to attend Tieszen's daughter's wedding, which was scheduled for that day. The Journal adds that something similar reportedly happened two years ago, when a 50-year-old man and a 43-year-old woman died after one fell in and the other attempted a rescue. |

Q: Alexander II (Russian: Aleksandr II Nikolaevich, tr. Aleksandr II Nikolaevich; IPA: [aljI'ksandr fta'roj njIka'lajIvjItc]; 29 April [O.S. 17 April] 1818 in Moscow - 13 March [O.S. 1 March] 1881 in Saint Petersburg) was the Emperor of Russia from 2 March 1855 until his assassination in 1881. He was also the King of Poland and the Grand Duke of Finland. Alexander was the most successful Russian reformer since Peter the Great. His most important achievement was the emancipation of serfs in 1861, for which he became known as Alexander the Liberator (Russian: Aleksandr Osvoboditel', tr. Aleksandr Osvoboditel; IPA: [aljI'ksandr asv@ba'djitjIlj]). The tsar was responsible for numerous other reforms including reorganizing the judicial system, setting up elected local judges, abolishing capital punishment, promoting local self-government through the zemstvo system, imposing universal military service, ending some of the privileges of the nobility, and promoting the universities. Despite these reforms, during his reign, his brutal secret police, known as the Third Section, sent thousands of dissidents into exile in Siberia. In foreign policy, Alexander sold Alaska to the United States in 1867, fearing the remote colony would fall into British hands if there was another war. He sought peace, moved away from bellicose France when Napoleon III fell in 1871, and in 1872 joined with Germany and Austria in the League of the Three Emperors that stabilized the European situation. Despite his otherwise pacifistic foreign policy, he fought a brief war with Turkey in 1877-78, pursued further expansion into Siberia and the Caucasus, and conquered Turkestan.

Input: Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) speaks to reporters about the proposed Senate Republican tax bill, after attending the Senate GOP policy luncheon, at US Capitol on November 14, 2017 in Washington, DC. (Photo: Mark Wilson, Getty Images)
WASHINGTON – The White House abruptly moved Thursday to withdraw a controversial judicial nominee, just minutes before the Senate was poised to vote on the candidate's bid for a seat on the federal bench.
The nominee – Oregon prosecutor Ryan W. Bounds – had come under scrutiny for inflammatory writings he penned in college. Critics said Bounds used racially offensive language and was dismissive of sexual assault in those writings.
President Donald Trump had nominated Bounds to fill a vacancy on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
While attending Stanford University, Bounds derided groups promoting multiculturalism and civil rights, and he argued against expelling students for sexual assault.
“... There is nothing really inherently wrong with the University failing to punish an alleged rapist – regardless his guilt – in the absence of adequate certainty; there is nothing that the University can do to objectively ensure that the rapist does not strike again," he wrote, according to an analysis of his record by the Alliance for Justice, a liberal advocacy group.
And, “[e]xpelling students is probably not going to contribute a great deal toward a rape victim’s recovery; there is no moral imperative to risk egregious error in doing so,” he continued.
Bounds also called activism on behalf of racial minorities and gays and lesbians a “pestilence” that “stalks us” and “threatens to corrupt our scholastic experience,” according to the Alliance.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., characterized the judge’s writings as "ugly" and "intolerant."
"If you accept the view I have that a judge is held to a higher standard…this would have lowered the bar very dramatically,” Wyden said.
He and Oregon's other U.S. senator, Democrat Jeff Merkley, fiercely opposed Bounds’ nomination, and they lobbied intensely against him, buttonholing other senators and speaking for hours on the Senate floor Tuesday in protest.
Republicans hold a narrow 51-to-49 seat majority; GOP leaders were prepared to push ahead with a vote on Bounds’ nomination until one Republican, Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina, signaled his opposition.
“After talking with the nominee last night and meeting with him today, I had unanswered questions that led to me being unable to support him,” Scott said in a statement Thursday.
Scott is not known for bucking his party or picking fights with Trump. But he has spoken out forcefully on issues of race.
Merkley said Scott's decision was pivotal in forcing the White House to withdraw Bounds' nomination.
“The courageous stand of Tim Scott made a big difference, raising the dialogue with his caucus,” Merkley said.
Other Republicans said they supported Scott's decision.
Sen. Roy Blunt, R-Mo., a member of the GOP leadership, said he wasn’t aware of Bounds’ writings until recently.
“They weren’t racist,” Blunt said of Bounds' college writings. But he called them “not racially sensitive” and said they had sparked concerns.

WASHINGTON (AP) — In a stunning move, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has withdrawn one of President Donald Trump's judicial nominees just minutes before he was set for a confirmation vote.
McConnell announced Thursday on the Senate floor that he was pulling the nomination of Ryan Bounds. Trump had nominated the assistant U.S. attorney in Oregon to be a judge on the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
The withdrawal of the nomination is a blow to the White House. Judicial nominations are rarely pulled back at such a late stage in the process unless a nominee does not have the support to pass.
Republicans have been able to use their thin majority to push several of the president's nominees through despite overwhelming Democratic opposition. Sen. John McCain's absence due to his battle with brain cancer has given the GOP even less cushion, with Republicans holding a 50-49 voting edge.
That cushion evaporated when Republican Sen. Tim Scott of South Carolina said he needed more information about Bounds.
"After talking with the nominee last night and meeting with him today, I had unanswered questions that led to me being unable to support him," Scott said.
The two senators from Bounds' home state, Democratic Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, had both objected to his nomination, saying they were not consulted by the Trump administration before the choice. They highlighted writings from Bounds' years at Stanford University that they said revealed alarming views on race, the rights of workers and the gay community.
The Senate gives lawmakers a chance to weigh in on a judicial nominee from their home state by submitting a blue-colored form called the "blue slip." A positive blue slip signals the Senate can move forward with the nomination process. The blue slip courtesy is designed to generate consultation between the executive branch and Congress. The two Oregon senators signaled their objections by returning a negative blue slip, which in the past has generally stalled a nomination.
This time, Republicans opted to move forward anyway, which meant that if Bounds had been confirmed, it would have been the first time since at least 1956 that a nominee had been confirmed with both home state senators returning negative blue slips.

Output: | The White House on Thursday withdrew one of President Trump's judicial nominees minutes before he was scheduled for a Senate confirmation vote, CNN reports. In what the AP calls a "stunning move," Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell announced on the Senate floor that he was pulling Ryan Bounds' nomination to be a judge on the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals. Bounds, an assistant US attorney in Oregon, had come under fire for writings during his years as a student at Stanford University that critics say are intolerant. Bounds wrote that activism on behalf of racial minorities and gays and lesbians was a "pestilence" threatening "to corrupt our scholastic experience," per USA Today.

The two senators from Bounds' home state, Democrats Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, had both returned what's known as a negative blue slip, objecting to Bounds' nomination because of the writings as well as the fact that, they say, they were not consulted by the Trump administration before Bounds was nominated. The Republicans have a 50-49 voting edge in the Senate, but two Republicans—Tim Scott of South Carolina and Marco Rubio of Florida—had voiced concerns about Bounds, with Scott announcing he couldn't support him Thursday. According to CNN's sources, several other senators then said they felt the same way; Merkley credits Scott's decision with forcing the White House to withdraw Bounds' nomination. |

Hurlburt Field, Florida (CNN) -- An Air Force CV-22 Osprey crashed Wednesday during a routine training mission north of Navarre, Florida, injuring five crew members aboard, a military official said. The crash occurred about 6:45 p.m. at Hurlburt Field's Eglin Range, said Amy Nicholson, chief of public affairs at the airfield. The five injured crew members were taken to an area hospital, Nicholson said. The extent of their injuries was not immediately known. The cause of the accident is under investigation, she said. The Osprey was assigned to the 1st Special Operations Wing, the Air Force said. The tilt-rotor aircraft can fly like an airplane and land like a helicopter. The Army began developing the Osprey in 1982, though the program was nearly scrapped in 1989 when then-Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney sought to cancel it because of ballooning costs. Questions were raised about the safety of the Osprey after two crashes, including one in 1992 at a Marine Corps air base in Virginia that killed the crew. In late 2000, the Marine Corps grounded the Osprey fleet after two crashes -- one in Arizona that killed four crew members and 15 passengers, and another in North Carolina that killed the crew. A redesign was ordered on the Osprey, and it resumed flights in 2002. The Air Force began using Ospreys in 2008 after testing the aircraft in 2006. They were first deployed by the Marines in Iraq in 2007 after 18 years and $20 billion in development. <sep>How many people have died from the crash in Navarre, FL and in Arizona combined?<sep>19

The Glory of Melaka: In the early days, if you were not a pirate or a mosquito, Melaka was not much of a place to live. The land was infertile, just a swampy plain, the river small and sluggish. But it had a sheltered harbor, protected from the monsoons by neighboring Sumatra. Later, the strategic location and deep-water channel close to the coast brought in the bigger vessels of the trade-wind traffic crossing the Indian Ocean. The first to realize the larger commercial potential, as so often throughout the country's subsequent history, were the Chinese. In 1409, under a new directive from Emperor Chu Ti to pursue trade in the South Seas and the Indian Ocean, a Chinese fleet of 50 ships headed by Admiral Cheng Ho called in at Melaka. They made Parameswara an offer he could not refuse: port facilities and an annual financial tribute in exchange for Chinese protection against the marauding Thais. In 1411, Parameswara took the money to Beijing himself, and the emperor gratefully made him a vassal king. Twenty years later, the Chinese withdrew again from the South Seas trade. The new ruler of Melaka, Sri Maharajah, switched his allegiance to the Muslim trading fraternity by marrying into the Muslim faith, wedding the daughter of a sultan in Sumatra. Islam won its place in Malaya not by conquest — as had been the case in North Africa and Europe — but by trade, dynastic alliances, and peaceful preaching. Bengali peddlers had already brought the faith to the east coast. In Melaka and throughout the peninsula, Islam thrived as a strong, male-dominated religion of individuality, offering dynamic leadership and preaching brotherhood and self-reliance — all qualities ideally suited to the coastal trade. At the same time, Sufi mystics synthesized Islamic teaching with local Malay traditions of animistic magic and charisma, though Islam did not become the state religion until Muzaffar Shah became sultan of Melaka (1446–1459). But the key figure in the sultanate was Tun Perak, bendahara (prime minister) and military commander. He expanded Melaka's power along the west coast and down to Singapore and the neighboring Bintan islands. He also had orang laut pirates patrolling the seas to extort tribute from passing ships. After Ailied district chiefs had repelled assaults from Thai-controlled armies from Pahang, Tun Perak personally led a famous victory over a Thai fleet off Batu Pahat in 1456. <sep>Why might you might not have wanted to live in Melaka in the early days?<sep>The place was a vassal of China

Grande dame of cooking still going strong at 90: Julia Child celebrates in San Francisco. How does it feel to turn 90 and have attained the status of an icon, a living legend? "It feels just like it felt before," Julia Child says with the throaty laugh familiar to millions who cut their culinary teeth on her "French Chef" television series. The show, along with her seminal book, "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" (1961), revolutionized the way America cooks and eats. While making light of the difference a day -- or another decade -- makes, Child intends to enjoy her birthday thoroughly. First, there will be all the public observances, including a sold-out dinner Thursday at San Francisco's tony Fifth Floor restaurant, which -- like dinners that night at 19 other venues across the country -- will benefit the scholarship fund of the International Association of Culinary Professionals (which Child co-founded). Friday to Sunday, the action moves to Napa, with both members-only and public events at COPIA: The American Center for Wine, Food and the Arts, of which she is an honorary board member. Aug. 15, her actual birthday, will see her in Maine at an annual gathering of nieces, nephews, their offspring and friends, who for many years have rolled a joined birthday celebration for several members of the group into a jolly reunion. The schedule Child and her assistant of 14 years, former pastry chef Stephanie Hersh, have laid out is not exactly a senior-citizen routine, even though Child has always been candid about her age and realistic in assessing her own capabilities. When the Pasadena native moved back to California from her long-time home in the Boston area last year, she also made the move from a condominium she and her late husband, Paul, had purchased many years ago to a progressive retirement home. She is in the most active of the four levels available, but should the need arise, she can move on to assisted living facilities within the same complex. <sep>As Julia Child turns 90, she will celebrate in San Francisco.

We do not know exactly how the hijackers gained access to the cockpit; FAA rules required that the doors remain closed and locked during flight. Ong speculated that they had "jammed their way" in. Perhaps the terrorists stabbed the flight attendants to get a cockpit key, to force one of them to open the cockpit door, or to lure the captain or first officer out of the cockpit. Or the flight attendants may just have been in their way. At the same time or shortly thereafter, Atta-the only terrorist on board trained to fly a jet-would have moved to the cockpit from his business-class seat, possibly accompanied by Omari. As this was happening, passenger Daniel Lewin, who was seated in the row just behind Atta and Omari, was stabbed by one of the hijackers-probably Satam al Suqami, who was seated directly behind Lewin. Lewin had served four years as an officer in the Israeli military. He may have made an attempt to stop the hijackers in front of him, not realizing that another was sitting behind him. The hijackers quickly gained control and sprayed Mace, pepper spray, or some other irritant in the first-class cabin, in order to force the passengers and flight attendants toward the rear of the plane. They claimed they had a bomb. About five minutes after the hijacking began, Betty Ong contacted the American Airlines Southeastern Reservations Office in Cary, North Carolina, via an AT&T airphone to report an emergency aboard the flight. This was the first of several occasions on 9/11 when flight attendants took action outside the scope of their training, which emphasized that in a hijacking, they were to communicate with the cockpit crew. The emergency call lasted approximately 25 minutes, as Ong calmly and professionally relayed information about events taking place aboard the airplane to authorities on the ground. At 8:19, Ong reported:"The cockpit is not answering, somebody's stabbed in business class-and I think there's Mace-that we can't breathe-I don't know, I think we're getting hijacked." She then told of the stabbings of the two flight attendants. At 8:21, one of the American employees receiving Ong's call in North Carolina, Nydia Gonzalez, alerted the American Airlines operations center in Fort Worth, Texas, reaching Craig Marquis, the manager on duty. Marquis soon realized this was an emergency and instructed the airline's dispatcher responsible for the flight to contact the cockpit. At 8:23, the dispatcher tried unsuccessfully to contact the aircraft. <sep>Who jammed their way into the plane's cockpit?<sep>The airline workes

Paris, France (CNN) -- Hundreds of French workers, angry about proposed layoffs at a Caterpillar factory, were holding executives of the company hostage Tuesday, a spokesman for the workers said. Caterpillar's French staff say they are angry about a lack of negotiations over layoffs. It is at least the third time this month that French workers threatened with cutbacks have blockaded managers in their offices to demand negotiations. Executives were released unharmed in both previous situations. The latest incident started Tuesday morning at the office of the construction equipment company in the southeastern city of Grenoble. The workers were angry that Caterpillar had proposed cutting more than 700 jobs and would not negotiate, said Nicolas Benoit, a spokesman for the workers' union. They did not want to harm the Caterpillar executives, Benoit told CNN. One hostage was released Tuesday evening leaving workers with four captives inside the Caterpillar building. The released man was a human resources director identified only as Mr. Petit, because he has heart problems, union representative Bernard Patrick told CNN. Petit had a heart attack a few weeks ago, Patrick said. The four others still being held are Nicolas Polutnik, the head of operations; two other executives; and Petit's personal assistant, he said. About 500 employees were also outside the building protesting. <sep>What health issues did the released hostage Mr. Petit have?<sep>Diabetes

At his first engagement, on 15 May at Stafford House, the audience included Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. The Prince, who was himself a talented musician, moved close to the keyboard to view Chopin's technique. Broadwood also arranged concerts for him; among those attending were Thackeray and the singer Jenny Lind. Chopin was also sought after for piano lessons, for which he charged the high fee of one guinea (£1.05 in present British currency) per hour, and for private recitals for which the fee was 20 guineas. At a concert on 7 July he shared the platform with Viardot, who sang arrangements of some of his mazurkas to Spanish texts.

context: How to choose a cage for a ferret
Determine the size you need.
The size of the cage depends on the number of ferrets you plan to own. A single ferret needs a cage that will allow space for one bed, one litter box, a food dish, and room to play.
OPTIONS:
- More ferrets will need room for more beds, food dishes, and play space. A good cage should be at least 30 to 60 inches (76 to 91 cm) long , 18 to 24 inches (46 to 61 cm) wide and a minimum of 20 inches (51 cm) high.
- Also consider larger cages, like a mini-cage or one that will hold several ferrets. Larger cages are usually better for ferrets who have more space and darker cages, like a mini-cage.
- Smaller ferrets may not need cages larger than eight square feet (18 square meters). Meet with your vet about the options.

Instructions: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Input: Why would a party notify the other party?, Context: Treaties are not necessarily permanently binding upon the signatory parties. As obligations in international law are traditionally viewed as arising only from the consent of states, many treaties expressly allow a state to withdraw as long as it follows certain procedures of notification. For example, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs provides that the treaty will terminate if, as a result of denunciations, the number of parties falls below 40. Many treaties expressly forbid withdrawal. Article 56 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties provides that where a treaty is silent over whether or not it can be denounced there is a rebuttable presumption that it cannot be unilaterally denounced unless:

Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Turkey's prime minister, has spoken about his country's tense relations with Damascus ahead of a special meeting of NATO allies to discuss the shooting down by Syria of a Turkish warplane last week.
Ambassadors to the military alliance will meet in Brussels on Tuesday at Ankara's request, in an incident which Turkey has branded an "act of aggression".
Condeming the government of Bashar al-Assad in his weekly address to parliament, Erdogan said: "The United Nations and Kofi Annan gave him [Assad] a plan, but he did not take it seriously.
"The Syrian regime has no more legitimacy, that is clear. Women, children, the elderly, have been killed relentlessly by this tyranny."
However, Erdogan also stated that: "Syria's borders can never prevent the brotherhood between Syria and Turkey."
Historic meeting
It is only the second time in NATO's 63-year history that it will convene under Article 4 of its charter, which provides for consultations when a member state feels its territorial integrity, political independence or security is under threat.
The only other time NATO has convened under Article 4 was in 2003 to discuss the Iraq war, again at the request of Turkey.
Turkey rejected assertions from Damascus that its forces had no option but to fire on the F-4 jet as it flew over Syrian waters close to the coast on Friday.
In a letter to the UN Security Council, Turkey condemned the "hostile act by the Syrian authorities against Turkey's national security", saying it posed "a serious threat to peace and security in the region".
The Security Council will also hold consultations on Syria at 14:00 GMT on Tuesday.
'Second attack'
Bulent Arinc, Turkey's deputy prime minister, said on Monday that Syrian troops had also opened fire on a rescue plane searching for the pilots who were shot down on Friday.
"One of our CASA planes took off with a rescue team. Unfortunately, shots from the ground targeted our plane," Arinc said during a news conference,
"Our foreign ministry and our military command notified Syrian authorities and this harrassment ceased immediately."
He added that Syria's actions "would not go unpunished".
The incident has further heightened tensions between Turkey and Syria already strained to near breaking point over the 16-month uprising against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's rule.
European Union foreign ministers called on Monday for Turkey to show restraint, saying they would increase pressure on Assad.
"Military intervention in Syria is out of the question," Dutch Foreign Minister Uri Rosenthal said.
'Act of defence'
Syria's description of the event on Monday as an act of self-defence, though tempered with commitment to a "neighbourly relationship", seemed likely to further anger Ankara.
"The plane disappeared and then reappeared in Syrian airspace, flying at 100 metres altitude and about 1-2kms from the Syrian coast," Jihad Makdissi, Syrian foreign ministry spokesman, told a Damascus news conference.
"We had to react immediately, even if the plane was Syrian we would have shot it down.
"The Syrian response was an act of defence of our sovereignty carried out by anti-aircraft machinegun which has a maximum range of 2.5 km."
Syria warned Turkey and NATO against retaliating.
"NATO is supposed to be there to strengthen countries," said Makdissi. "If their meeting is for hostile reasons [they should know that] Syrian land and waters are sacred."
The unarmed reconnaissance jet had briefly entered Syrian airspace as it approached land after patrolling the eastern Mediterranean, Arinc said, but was warned by Turkish radar controllers and immediately left and turned again out to sea.
It then made another approach to land when it was shot down 13 miles off the coast in international airspace, he said, out of the reach of Syria's anti-aircraft guns.
"According to the data in our hands, it points to our plane being shot by a laser or heat-guided surface-to-air missile," he said.
"The fact our plane was not given an early radar warning, suggests it was not a radar-guided missile."
By invoking Article 4 of the NATO charter, rather than Article 5 which calls for military action, Turkey has signalled it wants action against Syria short of armed intervention.
Deserters
The Anadolu agency said on Monday that the group, which included a general and two colonels, crossed into Turkey overnight and that they were being hosted at a refugee camp near the border.
The defection brought to 13 the number of generals seeking refuge in Turkey since the revolt against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime erupted 16 months ago.
Thousands of soldiers have abandoned the army, but most are low-level conscripts. The Free Syrian Army, the loosely-linked group of rebel forces, is made up largely of defectors.
Meanwhile, in shell-shattered districts of Homs, the heart of the uprising against Assad and the city where the latest defectors were reported to have come from, rebels battled troops as aid workerstried to evacuate civilians.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) said it was again trying to arrange a safe evacuation of trapped civilians from Homs.
But anti-government activists reported heavy shelling on central districts, including Jouret al-Shiyah and al-Qarabis.
Video showed detonations and machine gun bursts from the skeletal remains of abandoned apartment blocks.
Amateur video obtained by the Reuters news agency reportedly showed rebel fighters in control of a Syrian military base in the northern town of Daret Ezzah in Aleppo province. Al Jazeera was not able independently verify the pictures.
A spokesman for the fighters said they were only able to capture the air defence base after heavy fighting and with the help of defectors.
The activist Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Assad's troops had carried out raids and arrests in areas still under army control.
Heavy fighting between government forces and rebel fighters was also reported in the opposition centres of Idlib, Deir Al Zor and Deraa, the birthplace of the uprising.
The UN has said more than 10,000 people have been killed by government forces, while Syria has said at least 2,600 members of the military and security forces have been killed by what it calls foreign-backed "terrorists". ||||| The North Atlantic Council has met at Turkey's request to hold consultations within the framework of Article 4 of the Washington Treaty which states that "the Parties will consult whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence, or security of any of the Parties is threatened."
The North Atlantic Council discussed the shooting down of a Turkish aircraft by Syria. We consider this act to be unacceptable and condemn it in the strongest terms. It is another example of the Syrian authorities’ disregard for international norms, peace and security, and human life.
Our thoughts at this difficult time are with the missing Turkish aircrew, their families and their loved ones. We continue to follow the situation closely and with great concern, and will remain seized of developments on the South-Eastern border of NATO.
The security of the Alliance is indivisible. We stand together with Turkey in the spirit of strong solidarity. ||||| | Turkey is hardening its stance against Syria, even as NATO meets today to discuss Syria's downing of a Turkish jet last week. Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned in an address to his parliament that Syrian troops would be considered an "open threat" if they come near his border, and spoke of his country's "rage" over the attack, the BBC reports. The deputy prime minister said that the incident will "not go unpunished," although he added that Turkey has "no intention" of going to war and wants to work "within a legal framework." Turkey has accused Syrian troops of also firing on a rescue plane searching for the missing pilots. Meanwhile, NATO's North Atlantic Council issued an official statement on the incident, condemning it as "unacceptable" and calling it "another example of the Syrian authorities' disregard for international norms, peace and security, and human life." Today's meeting marks only the second time NATO has convened under Article 4 of its charter, al-Jazeera notes. That article allows for a consultation whenever one party feels its "territorial integrity, political independence, or security" has been threatened, but does not necessarily call for an armed response. Turkey had earlier described the shootdown as a "hostile act" in a letter to the UN Security Council, and that body will discuss the incident today as well. |

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.

Who tops the population of Mexico City?, Context: Historically, and since pre-Hispanic times, the Valley of Anahuac has been one of the most densely populated areas in Mexico. When the Federal District was created in 1824, the urban area of Mexico City extended approximately to the area of today's Cuauhtémoc borough. At the beginning of the 20th century, the elites began migrating to the south and west and soon the small towns of Mixcoac and San Ángel were incorporated by the growing conurbation. According to the 1921 census, 54.78% of the city's population was considered Mestizo (Indigenous mixed with European), 22.79% considered European, and 18.74% considered Indigenous. This was the last Mexican Census which asked people to self-identify themselves with an heritage other than Amerindian. However, the census had the particularity that, unlike racial/ethnic census in other countries, it was focused in the perception of cultural heritage rather than in a racial perception, leading to a good number of white people to identify with "Mixed heritage" due cultural influence. In 1921, Mexico City had less than one million inhabitants.
Answer: | Mestizo |

What was Cork City formerly surrounded by?, Context: The city's charter was granted by Prince John, as Lord of Ireland, in 1185. The city was once fully walled, and some wall sections and gates remain today. For much of the Middle Ages, Cork city was an outpost of Old English culture in the midst of a predominantly hostile Gaelic countryside and cut off from the English government in the Pale around Dublin. Neighbouring Gaelic and Hiberno-Norman lords extorted "Black Rent" from the citizens to keep them from attacking the city. The present extent of the city has exceeded the medieval boundaries of the Barony of Cork City; it now takes in much of the neighbouring Barony of Cork. Together, these baronies are located between the Barony of Barrymore to the east, Muskerry East to the west and Kerrycurrihy to the south.

Shop for fragrance products that contain pheromones. Many fragrance companies claim to include pheromones in their products, but they are usually from pigs or deer-which won't accomplish anything for humans.

[EX Q]: After becoming disabled in a machete attack on a visit to his native Haiti, Jean-Claude Joseph needed help persuading his landlord to move him from a fifth-floor apartment to one on the ground floor. Isaac Benjamin became ensnared in a bureaucratic snafu that took away his Social Security disability payments for more than two years. The story of Martha, a woman from Sierra Leone, was more compelling. Beaten, raped and tortured in her politically repressive homeland, she knowingly used someone else's passport to escape to America, but was caught by immigration authorities upon her arrival. She desperately sought political asylum. Not the kind of cases that lead to ground-breaking upheavals in the law, but the kind of cases that are handled day in and day out by lawyers for the legally disenfranchised who have no where else to turn. The work of attorneys from Legal Services of New Jersey will be highlighted in a onehour documentary, "Quest for Justice," to be aired 9 p.m. today on New Jersey Network. Produced by NYD2, a communications firm based in Somerset, the documentary features case histories of clients whose needs ranged from housing to fighting off deportation. Joseph, a 54-year-old naturalized citizen, turned to Legal Services when the landlord of his federally subsidized apartment complex in Elizabeth turned a deaf ear to his request for a ground-floor apartment. Having lost the use of his left arm in warding off the machete attack during a robbery attempt, Joseph said he found it increasingly difficult to negotiate the five flights of stairs lugging groceries or laundry on the frequent occasions when the building's elevator was out of order. "With this, it became impossible for me to stay upstairs," he said, pointing to the scars on his forearm. "If I cannot carry my groceries or my laundry, how can I live?" "It was a compelling case," said Legal Services attorney Stephen St. Hilaire. "The key for us -- and we have to make tough decisions all the time on whether to take a case -- was visualizing what he had to do to get to the fifth floor, struggling with a bag of groceries," he said. Benjamin, 53, of Jersey City had been collecting Social Security disability after undergoing double bypass surgery when the checks stopped coming. He said the agency claimed he had failed to return a form updating the condition of his health. "But what got me was they didn't let me know they didn't get it, they just cut me off," he said, adding he found it impossible to negotiate the Social Security bureaucracy himself. <sep>Why did native Haiti Jean-Claude lose his hand?<sep>Injured when attacked

[EX Q]: Captured Moments by Will Shetterly I remember Papa's stopbox, a teal blue Tiempo Capturado that Mama brought home for his birthday. It was huge and inefficient, and she should never have spent so many pesos on a toy, but Papa would not let her return it. He used it to preserve baby tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries in translucent cubes that he stored in the pantry for spring-time meals in the middle of winter. Mama kept her mink jacket, a family hand-me-down, safe from time in a stopbox, and lent the capturador to my uncle for his stamp collection. Sometimes they would let us little ones to seal a treasured toy or a last piece of birthday cake until we begged them for its release, usually a few hours after enclosing it.

I took mine home, where they sat above my computer while I worked on my first play. One night when I did not believe love had ever existed for anyone, I used my own capturador, a sleek titanium Sanyo Tardar Ahora, to undo the stopbox. Bringing my face close to the shoes, I breathed deeply of air that my parents had trapped while closing up that symbol of their love for me.

How to consume garlic for health
Eat raw garlic.
Include at least one serving-or a ½ clove-in your meal plan every day. Many people like to cook garlic in their dishes, but raw garlic is just as tasty.
OPTIONS:
- Having a mixture of raw and cooked garlic is the best way to get the health benefits of this vegetable. Crushing, chopping, or mincing garlic can best release the compounds that benefit for your health.
- Garlic is also high in fiber and vitamins, as it folates fats and is rich in fiber. Getting a high-fiber bulk garlic meal will help fill you up (very quickly), and make you have fewer calories.
- If you mix garlic into your friends' dinners or snacks, you can reduce the garlic cloves that your friends ingest. Consider substituting olive oil and vegetable oil, for instance, in place of raw garlic.
- Raw garlic also gives you the dietary benefits described in the ingredients section. Green onion, garlic fruits, mushrooms, pineapples, chilies, or celery mix well with raw garlic-but it's also rich in the beneficial fats and flavonoids found in white garlic.

How to tag cattle
Determine the best time to tag your cattle.
You can apply tags shortly after birth, during the calf's weaning period, or around the time that you begin branding young or fully-grown cows. The time that you choose will depend mostly on how operations are carried out on your farm or ranch.
OPTIONS:
- You can begin the tagging process the week before you get the calves and bull. You might plant beds and in-ground pasture during the week prior to branding.
- Most libraries, whether they sell or be placed on this list, will also let you choose upon whether you want to tag cattle or not. You could also arrange for these shops to register your animals in whatever specific city or ranch they are located in.
- For some, tagging calves at birth may make it easier to keep up with them as they grow. Others may prefer not to bother with it until a cow is headed for auction.
- Cattle are bred for 12-24 months prior to growing and following the newborn's birth. This does not mean that you can put up multiple abolishments early on, but that you can only use hidden chromosomes necessary to guide your local operation.

Q: Join us over on Facebook | Twitter
ABOUT 20,000 children are kicked off Facebook every day for lying about their age, the social network site admitted yesterday.
Despite efforts to enforce the strict 13 years or older age limit some children still slip through the checks.
The networking site's chief privacy adviser Mozelle Thompson told Federal Parliament's cyber-safety committee: "There are people who lie. There are people who are under 13 [accessing Facebook].
"Facebook removes 20,000 people a day, people who are underage."
While the social networking site had mechanisms to detect liars, Mr Thompson said: "It's not perfect".
Seven million Australians access Facebook every day, nine million access it each week and nearly 11 million visit the site each month.
Labor MP Graham Perrett suggested to Mr Thompson that teenagers be forced to get parental permission before they joined Facebook.
Start of sidebar. Skip to end of sidebar. Results: Today's poll This poll was closed on Thu Mar 24 00:00:00 EST 2011 Should Facebook be forced to introduce tougher privacy regulations? Yes 92.54% (4059 votes)
No 7.46% (327 votes) Total votes: 4386 End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.
Mr Thompson said Facebook would soon hire an Australian, who would be based in Australia, to deal with "policy issues". In Sydney there are already up to a dozen Facebook employees involved in selling advertising, but Facebook has been under pressure to hire someone to deal with local complaints and issues.
Chair of the cyber-safety committee Dana Wortley said: "We know there are potential risks that young people face including cyber-bullying, identity theft and privacy issues, illegal content and contact from online predators." ||||| According to a study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project, nearly half of all 12-year-olds in the U.S. are using social network sites, despite not meeting the minimum age requirements for sites like Facebook. And such popularity only balloons once the teens grow older: roughly 64% of 13-year-olds are social networking; between the ages of 14 to 17, that figure jumps to 82%, says Pew.
But that doesn't mean Facebook isn't trying to stop kids from becoming addicted to the network at such a young age (though indoctrination does have its benefits!). According to a report by the Daily Telegraph today, Facebook is kicking out roughly 20,000 underage users per day.
In a meeting with Australia's cyber-safety committee, Facebook's chief privacy adviser Mozelle Thompson agreed that underage users were taking advantage of the site. After all, any user no matter his or her age can register for the site by simply lying when signing up--Facebook has no mechanisms to detect whether a teen is telling the truth or not. "It's not perfect," said Thompson.
However, Facebook's privacy czar did argue that Facebook is trying to stop these young'ins from continuing to use the site. "There are people who lie. There are people who are under 13 [accessing Facebook]," Thompson said. "Facebook removes 20,000 people a day, people who are underage."
Of course, that's a fraction of the nearly 600 million users on Facebook, but underage users have become a growing concern for the network, especially as it faces increased pressure from regulators--whether in Australia or the U.S. Last April, Senators Franken, Bennet, and Schumer penned a letter to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg over privacy issues related to collecting the personal data of users. This month, Sen. Franken stepped up pressure on the world's largest network, with support from even more Congressional colleagues.
This time the focus was specifically on "users between 13 to 17 years of age."
"Facebook's new privacy policy would endanger the privacy and safety of children as young as 13. Under Facebook's policy, 13 million users under the age of 18 may be allowed to share their personal information just like adult users," Franken argued. "These younger users are the most vulnerable to predators on Facebook and the rest of the Internet and it should be impossible for them to inadvertently share their phone numbers and home addresses with anyone."
And that's not even taking into consideration the users who are younger than 13.
Read More: Most Innovative Companies: Facebook ||||| In January, Facebook made a troubling announcement that it plans to
allow third-party developers to request access to the home addresses
and phone numbers of users. Despite Facebook's insistence that it
will protect its users, I believe this policy will place users at
great risk. That's why I wrote a letter with Sens. Charles E. Schumer
(D-N.Y.), Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.), and Richard Blumenthal
(D-Conn.) to CEO Mark Zuckerberg urging him to stop plans for this new
third party access to personal data. Armed with nothing more than a
Facebook user's phone number and home address, anyone with an Internet
connection and a few dollars can obtain personal information they
should never have access to, including a user's date of birth, e-mail
address, or estimated income. In fact, by using this information, an
identity thief could get almost all of the data he would need to apply
for a loan or a credit card in the name of an unsuspecting Facebook
user.
And even more alarming, Facebook's new privacy policy would endanger
the privacy and safety of children as young as 13. Under Facebook's
policy, 13 million users under the age of 18 may be allowed to share
their personal information just like adult users. These younger users
are the most vulnerable to predators on Facebook and the rest of the
Internet and it should be impossible for them to inadvertently share
their phone numbers and home addresses with anyone.
The boom of new technologies over the last several years has made it
easier to keep in touch with family and friends, but it has also put
an unprecedented amount of personal information into the hands of
large companies and unknown third parties. It's important that
Facebook protect its users by reversing their plans to permit
developers to request and access this private information. It's even
more important that Facebook protect the children who use its website
by never allowing them to accidentally share their phone numbers and
home addresses with people who may want to hurt them. |||||

Mr. Andrews pointed to one of the oak chairs. "You sit there," he commanded, "it's reserved for members of the bar, but it's all right. You're with ME." Distinctly annoyed, slightly bewildered, the banker sank between the arms of a chair. He felt he had lost his individuality. Andrews had become his sponsor. Because of Andrews he was tolerated. Because Andrews had a pull he was permitted to sit as an equal among police-court lawyers. No longer was he Arnold Thorndike. He was merely the man "with Mr. Andrews." Then even Andrews abandoned him. "The judge'll be here in a minute, now," said the assistant district attorney, and went inside a railed enclosure in front of the judge's bench. There he greeted another assistant district attorney whose years were those of even greater indiscretion than the years of Mr. Andrews. Seated on the rail, with their hands in their pockets and their backs turned to Mr. Thorndike, they laughed and talked together. The subject of their discourse was one Mike Donlin, as he appeared in vaudeville. To Mr. Thorndike it was evident that young Andrews had entirely forgotten him. He arose, and touched his sleeve. With infinite sarcasm Mr. Thorndike began: "My engagements are not pressing, but—" A court attendant beat with his palm upon the rail. "Sit down!" whispered Andrews. "The judge is coming." Mr. Thorndike sat down. The court attendant droned loudly words Mr. Thorndike could not distinguish. There was a rustle of silk, and from a door behind him the judge stalked past. <sep>Andrews said the oak chairs were reserved for whom?<sep>Members of the kingdom

"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>Who is the her in "Toyoo, her human lover"?<sep>Toyoo's wife

A referendum to vote on the proposed constitution was held on 4 August 2010, and the new constitution passed by a wide margin. Among other things, the new constitution delegates more power to local governments and gives Kenyans a bill of rights. It was promulgated on 27 August 2010 at a euphoric ceremony in Nairobi's Uhuru Park, accompanied by a 21-gun salute. The event was attended by various African leaders and praised by the international community. As of that day, the new constitution heralding the Second Republic came into force.

TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
PROBLEM: How do chruches of christ worship in song?, Context: Present-day Christian religious bodies known for conducting their worship services without musical accompaniment include some Presbyterian churches devoted to the regulative principle of worship, Old Regular Baptists, Primitive Baptists, Plymouth Brethren, Churches of Christ, the Old German Baptist Brethren, Doukhobors the Byzantine Rite and the Amish, Old Order Mennonites and Conservative Mennonites. Certain high church services and other musical events in liturgical churches (such as the Roman Catholic Mass and the Lutheran Divine Service) may be a cappella, a practice remaining from apostolic times. Many Mennonites also conduct some or all of their services without instruments. Sacred Harp, a type of folk music, is an a cappella style of religious singing with shape notes, usually sung at singing conventions.

PROBLEM: What year, exactly, did the Yongle Emperor take the throne from the Jianwen Emperor?, Context: In his usurpation of the throne from the Jianwen Emperor (r. 1398–1402), the Yongle Emperor was aided by the Buddhist monk Yao Guangxiao, and like his father, the Hongwu Emperor, the Yongle Emperor was "well-disposed towards Buddhism", claims Rossabi. On March 10, 1403, the Yongle Emperor invited Deshin Shekpa, 5th Karmapa Lama (1384–1415), to his court, even though the fourth Karmapa had rejected the invitation of the Hongwu Emperor. A Tibetan translation in the 16th century preserves the letter of the Yongle Emperor, which the Association for Asian Studies notes is polite and complimentary towards the Karmapa. The letter of invitation reads,

Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
Q: The Obama administration Monday lifted a veil of secrecy surrounding the status of the detainees at Guantánamo, for the first time publicly naming the four dozen captives it defined as indefinite detainees men too dangerous to transfer but who cannot be tried in a court of law.
The names had been a closely held secret since a multi-agency task force sifted through the files of the Guantánamo detainees in 2009 trying to achieve President Barack Obamas executive order to close the detention center. In January 2010, the task force revealed that it classified 48 Guantánamo captives as dangerous but ineligible for trial because of a lack of evidence, or because the evidence was too tainted.
They became so-called indefinite detainees, a form of war prisoner held under Congress 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force.
The Defense Department released the list to The Miami Herald, which, with the assistance of Yale Law School students, had sued for it in federal court in Washington, D.C. The Pentagon also sent the list to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees on Monday, a Defense Department official said.
According to the list, the men designated for indefinite detention are 26 Yemenis, 12 Afghans, 3 Saudis, 2 Kuwaitis, 2 Libyans, a Kenyan, a Moroccan and a Somali.
Human rights groups denounced the existence of such a list.
Amnesty Internationals Zeke Johnson called fundamentally flawed the notion of classifying captives as indefinite detainees. Under international human rights law, he said, all of the detainees should either be charged and fairly tried in federal court, or released.
Human Rights Firsts Dixon Osburn hailed release of the list through the Freedom of Information Act: It is fundamental to democracy that the public know the identities of the people our nation is depriving of liberty and why they are being detained.
Some of the men on the list are among the prisoners currently on hunger strike and being force-fed at the prison, for example, Kuwaitis Fawzi al Odah, 36, and Fayez al Kandari, 35, and Yemeni Abdal Malik al Wahab, about 43, who in March, according to his lawyer David Remes, vowed to fast until he got out of the prison either dead or alive.
Two men on the list are deceased. Both Afghans, one committed suicide with a bedsheet in a recreation yard at Guantánamos Camp 6 for cooperative captives and the other died of a heart attack, also in Camp 6. So now the 166 captives at Guantánamo actually include 46 indefinite detainees.
Two former CIA captives, held apart from the majority of Guantánamos prisoners as high-value detainees are also listed as indefinite detainees: Mohammed Rahim, an Afghan man, and Somali Hassan Guleed.
All the other ex-CIA captives were designated for trial. Those include accused al-Qaida kingpin Khalid Sheik Mohammed, 48, and four alleged fellow conspirators in the hijackings that killed nearly 3,000 people on Sept. 11, 2001, who were in pretrial hearings at the war court this week. Also designated for trial was Abd al Rahim al Nashiri, 48, accused in the 2000 USS Cole attack that killed 17 American sailors, and, like Mohammed, facing a death-penalty tribunal.
Administration officials have through the years described a variety of reasons why the men could not face trial: Evidence against some of the indefinite detainees was too tainted by CIA or other interrogation torture or abuse to be admissible in a court; insufficient evidence to prove an individual detainee had committed a crime; or military intelligence opinions that certain captives had undertaken suicide or other type of terrorist training, and had vowed to engage in an attack on release.
In all, the list identifies 34 candidates for prosecution. Army Brig. Gen. Mark Martins, the Pentagons chief war crimes prosecutor, said Sunday night that fewer than those 34 men will be prosecuted because of federal court rulings that disqualified providing material support for terror as a war crime in most if not all Guantánamo cases.
At Human Rights Watch, senior counterterrorism counsel Andrea Prasow called the list a fascinating window into the Obama administrations thinking circa January 2010 but both flawed and somewhat irrelevant today.
Many of the detainees designated for prosecution can only be prosecuted in civilian court, she said. So unless Congress lifts the restrictions banning their transfer they are effectively indefinite detainees.
She also noted that, since the list was drawn up, the Obama administration was reportedly considering transferring five Afghan Taliban to custody of the Qatari government in exchange for the release of U.S. POW Bowe Bergdahl.
The Wall Street Journal named the five men and all appear on the list released Monday as indefinite detainees: Mullah Mohammad Fazl, Mullah Norullah Noori, Mohammed Nabi, Khairullah Khairkhwa, and Abdul Haq Wasiq.
One man categorized in 2010 as a possible candidate for prosecution was Saudi Arabian Mohammed Qahtani, 37, once suspected of being the absent 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 plot. He was so brutally interrogated at Guantánamo that a senior Pentagon official excluded him from the Bush-era 9/11 war crimes charge sheet. That official, Susan Crawford, told The Washington Posts Bob Woodward that Qahtanis treatment amounted to torture.
The Miami Heralds Carol Rosenberg, with the assistance of the Media Freedom and Information Access Clinic at the Yale Law School, filed suit in federal court in Washington D.C., in March for the list under the Freedom of Information Act. The students, in collaboration with Washington attorney Jay Brown, represented Rosenberg in a lawsuit that specifically sought the names of the 46 surviving prisoners.
Monday, hours before the release of the names, U.S. District Court Judge Gladys Kessler had set a July 8 deadline for the government to update the court on its classification review. The Justice Department gave the list to Brown, who in turn gave it to Rosenberg. ||||| A list released by the U.S. government Monday identifies several dozen Guantanamo Bay prisoners who have been designated as too dangerous to release but who can't be prosecuted.

Those on the list are prisoners who have been held without charge under the Authorized Use of Military Force act passed by Congress and signed by President George W. Bush in 2001, said a spokesman for the Pentagon, Army Lt. Col. Todd Breasseale.
The names of all Guantanamo prisoners have been public for years. But the administration of President Barack Obama had declined to disclose which detainees had been designated for indefinite detention in 2010 by an inter-agency review panel, even though the identity of many of them was widely known through their lawyers.
The government released the list after The Miami Herald sued for the document under the Freedom of Information Act.
Most of the 48 on the list are from Yemen and Afghanistan. Two are now dead _ one by suicide, the other by heart attack.
The list also names nearly two dozen prisoners who have been recommended for prosecution, including Khalid Sheikh Mohmmed, who is already on trial for his alleged role in the Sept. 11 attack, and Hambali, an alleged Indonesian terrorist leader.
There are a total of 166 prisoners at Guantanamo. The government has said it wants to release or transfer the remaining prisoners to their homelands or other countries pending adequate security safeguards to prevent the men from attacking the U.S. or its allies. |||||
A: | The names of Guantanamo's dozens of "indefinite detainees" deemed too dangerous to release even if the detention center is closed have been disclosed for the first time. In response to a lawsuit from the Miami Herald, the federal government released a list of prisoners including 26 Yemenis, 12 Afghans, three Saudis, two Kuwaitis, two Libyans, a Kenyan, a Moroccan, and a Somali it says cannot be tried in court but cannot be transferred or released. Two of the Afghans have died—one from suicide and one from a heart attack—since a task force produced the list in 2010, so there are now 46 indefinite detainees among Guantanamo's 166 inmates. The men, many of whom are among the more than 100 Guantanamo hunger strikers, are being held under the Authorized Use of Military Force signed by George W. Bush in 2001. Officials have given a variety of reasons why they cannot stand trial, including tainted evidence, the AP reports. An Amnesty International spokesman says the notion of keeping captives as "indefinite detainees" is "fundamentally flawed." Under international human rights law, "all of the detainees should either be charged and fairly tried in federal court, or released," he says. |

Density is also an important physical property of matter. The concept of density combines what we know about an objects mass and volume. Density reflects how closely packed the particles of matter are. When particles are packed together more tightly, matter is more dense. Differences in density of matter explain many phenomena. It explains why helium balloons rise. It explains why currents such as the Gulf Stream flow through the oceans. It explains why some things float in or sink. You can see this in action by pouring vegetable oil into water. You can see a colorful demonstration in this video. <sep>What are some things density explains?<sep>It explains why helium balloons rise and why currents such as the Gulf Stream flow through the oceans | Yes |
