AP Advisory
AP Standards Center issues staff advisory on covering New York City mosque
Associated Press Deputy Managing Editor for Standards and Production Tom Kent sent the following note to the staff about covering the New York City mosque story and then discussed the guidance and reaction in a Facebook entry headlined "Behind the News: Describing the proposed NYC mosque." Aug. 19, 2010
Colleagues, Here is some guidance on covering the NYC mosque story, with assists from Chad Roedemeier in the NYC bureau and Terry Hunt in Washington: 1. We should continue to avoid the phrase "ground zero mosque" or "mosque at ground zero" on all platforms. (We’ve very rarely used this wording, except in slugs, though we sometimes see other news sources using the term.) The site of the proposed Islamic center and mosque is not at ground zero, but two blocks away in a busy commercial area. We should continue to say it’s “near” ground zero, or two blocks away. WE WILL CHANGE OUR SLUG ON THIS STORY LATER TODAY from “BC-Ground Zero Mosque” to “BC-NYC Mosque.”
In short headlines, some ways to refer to the project include: _ mosque 2 blocks from WTC site
_ Muslim (or Islamic) center near WTC site
_ mosque near ground zero
_ mosque near WTC site
We can refer to the project as a mosque, or as a proposed Islamic center that includes a mosque.
It may be useful in some stories to note that Muslim prayer services have been held since 2009 in the building that the new project will replace. The proposal is to create a new, larger Islamic community center that would include a mosque, a swimming pool, gym, auditorium and other facilities. 2. Here is a succinct summary of President Obama’s position: Obama has said he believes Muslims have the right to build an Islamic center in New York as a matter of religious freedom, though he's also said he won't take a position on whether they should actually build it. For additional background, you’ll find below a Fact Check on the project that moved yesterday. Tom

Slug: BC-US--Mosque-Fact Check
Byline: CALVIN WOODWARD
Bytitle: Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — A New York imam and his proposed mosque near ground zero are being demonized by political candidates — mostly Republicans — despite the fact that Islam is already very much a part of the World Trade Center neighborhood. And that Muslims pray inside the Pentagon, too, less than 80 feet from where terrorists attacked.
And that the imam who's being branded an extremist has been valued by both Republican and Democratic administrations as a moderate face of the faith.
Even so, the project stirs complicated emotions, and Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is a complex figure who defies easy categorization in the American Muslim world.
He's devoted much of his career to working closely with Christians, Jews and secular leaders to advance interfaith understanding. He's scolded his own religion for being in some ways in the "Dark Ages." Yet he's also accused the U.S. of spilling more innocent blood than al-Qaida, the terrorist network that turned the World Trade Center, part of the Pentagon and four hijacked airplanes to apocalyptic rubble.
Many Republicans and some Democrats say the proposed $100 million Islamic cultural center and mosque should be built elsewhere, where there is no possible association with New York's ground zero. Far more than a local zoning issue, the matter has seized congressional campaigns, put President Barack Obama and his party on the spot — he says Muslims have the right to build the mosque — divided families of the Sept. 11, 2001, victims, caught the attention of Muslims abroad and threatened to blur distinctions between mainstream Islam in the U.S. and its radical elements.
A look at some of the claims and how they compare with the known facts:
___
—"The folks who want to build this mosque — who are really radical Islamists who want to triumphally prove that they can build a mosque right next to a place where 3,000 Americans were killed by radical Islamists — those folks don't have any interest in reaching out to the community. They're trying to make a case about supremacy." — Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, a potential 2012 presidential candidate.
—Some of the Muslim leaders associated with the mosque "are clearly terrorist sympathizers." — Kevin Calvey, a Republican running for Congress in Oklahoma.
—"This radical is a terrible choice to be one of the faces of our country overseas." — Statement by GOP Reps. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida and Peter King of New York.
THE FACTS:
No one has established a link between the cleric and radicals. New York Police Department spokesman Paul Browne said, "We've identified no law enforcement issues related to the proposed mosque."
Ros-Lehtinen and King were referring to the State Department's plan, predating the mosque debate, to send Rauf on another religious outreach trip to the Middle East as part of his "long-term relationship" with U.S. officials in the Bush and Obama administrations. The State Department said Wednesday it will pay him $3,000 for a trip costing the government $16,000.
Rauf counts former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright from the Clinton administration as a friend and appeared at events overseas or meetings in Washington with former President George W. Bush's secretary of state, Condoleezza Rice, and Bush adviser Karen Hughes.
He has denounced the terrorist attacks and suicide bombing as anti-Islamic and has criticized Muslim nationalism. But he's made provocative statements about America, too, calling it an "accessory" to the 9/11 attacks and attributing the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi children to the U.S.-led sanctions in the years before the invasion.
In a July 2005 speech at the Bob Hawke Prime Ministerial Center in Adelaide, Australia, Rauf said, according to the center's transcript:
"We tend to forget, in the West, that the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaida has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims."
While calling terrorism unjustified, he said the U.S. has supported authoritarian regimes with heinous human rights records and, faced with that, "how else do people get attention?"
In the same address, he spoke of prospects for peace between Palestinians and the Israelis — who he said "have moved beyond Zionism" — and of a love-your-neighbor ethic uniting all religions.
___
—"Mr. President, ground zero is the wrong place for a mosque." — Rick Scott, Republican candidate for Florida governor.
—"Nazis don't have the right to put up a sign next to the Holocaust Museum in Washington. We would never accept the Japanese putting up a site next to Pearl Harbor. There's no reason for us to accept a mosque next to the World Trade Center." — Gingrich.
—"Just a block or two away from 9/11." — Former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, another 2012 GOP presidential prospect. THE FACTS:
No mosque is going up at ground zero. The center would be established at 45-51 Park Place, just over two blocks from the northern edge of the sprawling, 16-acre World Trade Center site. Its location is roughly half a dozen normal lower Manhattan blocks from the site of the North Tower, the nearer of the two destroyed in the attacks.
The center's location, in a former Burlington Coat Factory store, is already used by the cleric for worship, drawing a spillover from the imam's former main place for prayers, the al-Farah mosque. That mosque, at 245 West Broadway, is about a dozen blocks north of the World Trade Center grounds.
Another, the Manhattan Mosque, stands five blocks from the northeast corner of the World Trade Center site.
To be sure, the center's association with 9/11 is intentional and its location is no geographic coincidence. The building was damaged in the Sept. 11 attacks and the center's planners say they want the center to stand as a statement against terrorism.
___
—"There should be no mosque near ground zero in New York so long as there are no churches or synagogues in Saudi Arabia. ... America is experiencing an Islamist cultural-political offensive designed to undermine and destroy our civilization." — Gingrich.
—"This religion's plan is to destroy our way of life. ... If we have to let them build it, make them build it nine stories underground, so we can walk above it as citizens and Christians."
— Ron McNeil, a House GOP candidate in the Florida Panhandle, in an exchange reported by The News Herald in Panama City.
THE FACTS:
Such opinions are shared by some Americans, while others are more reluctant to paint the religion with a broad brush and more welcoming of the faith in this country. Bush, himself, while criticized at the time for stirring suspicions about American Muslims, traveled to a Washington mosque less than a week after the attacks to declare that terrorism is "not what Islam is all about. Islam is peace."
In any event, the U.S. armed forces field Muslim troops and make accommodations for them. The Pentagon opened an interfaith chapel in November 2002 close to the area where hijacked American Airlines Flight 77 slammed into the building, killing 184 people.
Muslims gather there for a daily prayer service Monday through Thursday and hold a weekly worship service on Fridays, drawing no complaints. Similar but separate services are provided for other faiths.

Associated Press writers Tom Hays in New York and Anne Flaherty in Washington contributed to this report. ||||| By Doug Powers • August 19, 2010 04:34 PM
**Written by Doug Powers
The Associated Press is now prohibiting its staff from using the words “Ground Zero mosque” in stories:
The Associated Press, one of world’s most powerful news organizations, issued a memo today advising staff to avoid the phrase “Ground Zero mosque.” The Upshot reported Tuesday that the AP started using the phrase “Ground Zero mosque” in some headlines in late May. The New York Times, for one, has consciously avoided that phrasing. The AP began using the phrase as the controversy over the proposed Islamic cultural center and mosque in Lower Manhattan started bubbling up to the national level. Many news organizations, across platforms, routinely dub the project the “Ground Zero Mosque.” The AP has always been clear in the text of stories that the project would be built two blocks from Ground Zero and not on the actual site. But AP headlines, at times, ran with the phrase adopted by opponents of the project and amplified by the media. Now the news organization is taking steps to make sure that no longer occurs.
The AP memo is here. Give it a read and see if you think it’s simply a re-tread of a pro-mosque talking points memo (including a quote reminding AP staff that “the United States has more Muslim blood on its hands than al-Qaida has on its hands of innocent non-Muslims”). Fortunately for AP fact checkers, this mosque debate is taking place in between Sarah Palin book releases.
There’s no official line around the WTC site where “ground zero” ends, however I’m fairly certain that if the Associated Press office was two blocks away and hit by debris on 9/11, we’d be reading AP stories about “the horror we experienced at Ground Zero” to this day.
In any case, since “Ground Zero Mosque” is officially a no-no for the AP, here are a couple of suggestions for Associated Press writers to choose from to get us started. They could even use these on a rotating basis to avoid repetition. Feel free to add to this short list and I’ll try and put some of them up when I get home later:
-“The Hope & Change Experience”
-“House of worship in relative proximity to where Russell Simmons believes Christians bombed the WTC”
-“Project Bloomberg”
-“Site very far from WTC crater where faulty landing gear struck a now defunct Burlington Coat Factory turned peaceful multi-faith cultural center”
-“TAI Fridays”
Update: Naturally, nutmuffin Florida Rep. Alan Grayson has opined. After blaming 9/11 on Bush (of course), Grayson referred to the Ground Zero mosque as an “athletic center” and a “health club” — which is about as wildly exaggerated as calling Grayson a “lucid Congressman”:
Update II:
Doug Ross collected some of the best of your suggestions:
Here’s just a sampling of some great ideas:
15. Landing Gear Mosque
14. Project Bloomberg
13. 9/11 Victory Mosque
12. Daily Kosque
11. Caliphate-on-Hudson
10. The Gorelick & Clarke Building
9. Mosque formerly known as the Ground Zero Mosque
8. Hamosque
7. Crater’s Edge
6. Bullseye
5. The Mohammed Atta Memorial
4. Hormel House
3. The Debris Field Mosque
2. Burlington Terrorist Factory
1. New York Fire Training Academy
Awesome job! Hopefully we’ve managed to help out the AP.

context: How to perform a rai flick
Dribble the ball.
As you are approaching a nearby defender, dribble the ball between your left and right feet. The trickery of the rai flick is in full effect when you are directly in front of the defender.
OPTIONS:
- As you are dribbling the ball, get within about 3 feet of the defender, right in front of him/her. If this is your first time practicing the trick, it is better to use a cardboard cut-out or an object as representative of the defender.
- Place your foot forward and hit the ball with the heel of your foot. The ball should land in front of you, directly behind your knee.
- Dribble about a foot back and forth to create a trail for this player. Try a free cross kick to create room for the opposing goalie to hit the ball.
- If you are near the attacker, getting right by the defender is an easy mission. If you are closer to the defender, as long as the opposing team has the ball on their hands, you should not be able to do this trick.

How to plant bulbs in pots
Choose a pot with drainage holes.
Drainage holes are necessary to let any excess water out of the pot. If you water the bulbs and the excess water doesn't have anywhere to go, your plants could drown.
OPTIONS:
- Drainage holes are small holes in the pot that allows water to exit. Level the drainage holes and make sure they're deep enough for your growing variety to grow.
- You may even be able to fill the pot halfway with soil, so that the plant has easier access to water. Keep the bottom of the pot free of soil.
- When selecting a pot, consider the location: if your bulbs are new, place them in a plastic or tin planter, and water them well afterward. If they're old, wait until there is plenty of room in the planter for them to grow.
- Make sure the pot is big enough to insulate the bulbs. If you're planning on leaving your pot outside during the winter, you'll need to add enough soil to keep the bulbs warm.

So how does the force of gravity change? It doesnt if you stay on Earth. What if we travel to another planet or moon in our solar system? Look at the photo of astronaut Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. taken by fellow astronaut Neil Armstrong in the Figure. They were the first humans to walk on the moon. An astronaut weighs less on the moon than he would on Earth. This is because the moons gravity is weaker than Earths. The astronauts mass, on the other hand, did not change. He still contained the same amount of matter on the moon as he did on Earth.

Problem:Stephen Brumby, the fourth of seven children and the son of Clayton and Elizabeth Brumby, died tragically July 3rd, 2016. In his 14 years of life he was described as “a meteor that couldn’t be contained” by his family or anyone that knew him. He loved fishing, tennis, music, and archery. He had an insatiable appetite to learn and was constantly sharing his wisdom with those around him. He was passionate about his Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and dedicated his life to sharing his hope with others.
The family’s only comfort is knowing that he is Home praying for us and doing all the amazing things the Lord had prepared for him to do.
Your generous gifts and donations will help with the expenses the family is now facing. ||||| (CNN) Stephen Brumby had a long list of hobbies and interests, and at 14, he was starting to catch up to his father and older siblings.
He loved tennis, bass fishing and playing worship piano at church, a talent he inherited from his grandmother, his father said.
He also enjoyed shooting, a skill he learned from his father, William Clayton Brumby. Target practice was one of those things Stephen was poised to surpass his father on at the gun range.
Because their parents keep guns in the home for self-defense, each of the seven Brumby children learned gun safety at an appropriate age, Clayton Brumby said.
"We wanted our kids to be aware of guns," he said. "I wanted them to be comfortable around them and understand them."
Nothing Stephen knew about guns, it seems, could have prevented his father from accidentally shooting him dead Sunday at a Sarasota, Florida, gun range.
'Every round in the gun is your responsibility'
Clayton Brumby, 64, pulled the trigger while trying to fish a hot shell casing out of the back of his shirt, according to the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office. The investigation continues, but there are no charges pending against the father, the department said in a statement Monday.

Clayton Brumby does not dispute the department's account and accepts responsibility for his son's death. He hopes the incident serves as a reminder to parents to be vigilant in anything they do with their children, bearing in mind that anything can happen despite the best intentions and preparation.
"The gun didn't kill my boy. I did," he told CNN.
"Every round in the gun is your responsibility. When it fires you need to stand to account for it. That's what I've spent the last two days doing, accounting for my operating error."
'I made a mistake'
Clayton Brumby brought Stephen and his 24-year-old son and 12-year-old daughter to High Noon Gun Range for target shooting, just as he did once or twice a month.
Stephen Brumby was the middle child in a family of seven.
After Clayton Brumby fired a round at a target, the bullet casing was ejected from the handgun.
The casing bounced off a wall and fell into the back of his shirt, the sheriff's office said.
In an attempt to remove the casing, the elder Brumby reached behind his back with the hand that was holding the gun. While doing so, he inadvertently pulled the trigger, the department said.
The father said the round hit the ceiling and came down on his son.
"It was a very freak accident. I made a mistake," he said.
"It doesn't take but a split second for something to go wrong and that could be (the case) with a gun, it could be with the wrong medicine, it could be with any number of things."
'I can't fix this'
His middle son's death leaves a big hole in the family's heart, the father said.
Stephen was as sweet and gregarious as they come, always willing to help his mother clean the house, fix the television or log on to email.
To his youngest sister with spina bifida, he was her caregiver and best friend, his father said.
Stephen's family has set up an online fundraiser for funeral and other expenses.
As he entered his teen years, Stephen was beginning to take an interest in family conversations around the dinner table about life's bigger questions, his father said.

His family had high hopes for him. After finishing homeschooling with his mother, his parents hoped he would follow his older siblings to college.
What would he have done? Clayton Brumby is not sure. Stephen was just beginning to focus his interests.
But his father is confident he would have been successful, no matter what he did.
"He had a heart that was bigger than he was," Clayton Brumby said. "He was always thinking outside the box."
The shooting has not changed his views of guns, he said. He still intends to keep them in the house and use them for self-defense of his home and family.
"I can't fix this. It's just a great loss, but thankfully we'll see him someday. I have a feeling he's on a great lake out there." ||||| ***UPDATE***
A final goodbye to a Sarasota boy who lost his life in an unimaginable accident. Stephen Brumby's father -- accidently shot his son at a gun range.
Family and friends celebrated the 14-year-old's life at Bayside Community Church.
His sister and brother watched the freak accident at High Noon Gun Range.

David says, "My dad was firing a .22 - just a little semi-automatic pistol. What happened was the ejected casing -- which is super hot -- bounced off the wall and ricocheted down my dad's shirt. Because it was super hot the knee jerk reaction was to try to brush it off and he pulled the gun hand up and tried to brush it off him and the gun went off into the ceiling and ricocheted into my little brother Stephen."
Stephen died at Sarasota Memorial Hospital.
David told 10News WTSP that his father is struggling with what happened and is just trying to process it all. He says they've called in a grief counselor to help.
David says, "He wanted to take us to the shooting range to spend time with us but also teach us how to be a man; how to protect the family when it needed to be protected. It was just a complete freak accident. I cried so much yesterday that my eyes were stinging."
He says his brother loved playing the Ukele. From a Christian family with seven kids, Stephen also played piano for the worship band at their church and like most boys, he loved the great outdoors. David adds, "He loved fishing. I know right now he's probably catching fish, a whole bunch of fish with Jesus."
Meanwhile, High Noon Gun Range was open for business Monday but co-owner John Buchan was visibly upset over the accident. He says the Brumby family are more like family than customers. He adds, "The worst possible thing that could possibly happen, happened. All of our thoughts and prayers are with the family. There are things that affect you. This did."
Buchan says William was always trying to improve his shooting ability, teach the kids the right way, and implement all the safety features. He was a good guy -- teaching his kids the right way."
The Sheriff's Office said no charges are being filed against William Brumby.
Teen accidentally shot, killed at Sarasota gun range |||||
Solution: | The father who accidentally shot and killed his 14-year-old son at a Florida gun range Sunday is speaking out to make sure others learn from the tragedy. "The gun didn't kill my boy. I did," William Clayton Brumby, 64, tells CNN. "Every round in the gun is your responsibility. When it fires you need to stand to account for it it. That's what I've spent the last two days doing, accounting for my operating error." A hot spent shell casing went down the back of Brumby's shirt after firing, and he reached back to free it with the same hand that was holding the gun, accidentally pulling the trigger while doing so. He says the bullet hit the ceiling, then ricocheted and hit his son, Stephen. The Brumby family has guns in their home for self-defense, and Clayton Brumby says Stephen's death won't change that. He taught all seven of his kids gun safety and regularly took them to the range for target practice. "We wanted our kids to be aware of guns. I wanted them to be comfortable around them and understand them," he says. His 24-year-old son, David, who was also at the range Sunday, tells WTSP that his dad "wanted to take us to the shooting range to spend time with us but also teach us how to be a man; how to protect the family when it needed to be protected. It was just a complete freak accident." The family has set up a GoFundMe campaign to help with expenses associated with Stephen's death. It raised more than $20,000 in less than 24 hours. |

Given the task definition and input, reply with output. In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
Given what a cancer the clerical sexual abuse scandals have been for the Catholic Church, one would imagine the Vatican would want new bishops to get a state-of-the-art presentation on best practices in terms of preventing such meltdowns in the future.
The Vatican has been running just such a training course since 2001 for newly appointed bishops around the world, and almost 30 percent of the Catholic prelates in the world today have taken it.
It’s more than a bit surprising, therefore, to discover that at least last year, the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, the body created by Pope Francis to identify “best practices” in the fight against child abuse, was not involved in the training.
What’s the point of creating a commission to promote best practices, and putting one of the Church’s most credible leaders on the abuse issue, Boston Cardinal Sean P. O’Malley, in charge of it, and yet not having it address the new leaders who will have to implement those practices?
On Monday, the top official at the Congregation for Bishops, Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet, outlined the papers presented during the most recent course, saying he wanted to invite “suggestions for improving the experience.”
Traditionally, bishops have three key tasks: sanctifying, teaching, and governing. New bishops need to hear something about each, but on governance, a preeminent place clearly should go to the fight against child sexual abuse. Ouellet acknowledged it, listing “prevention of abuses” among key challenges.
In that light, it’s worth reviewing what new bishops were, and weren’t, told.
The presentation was entrusted to French Monsignor Tony Anatrella, a consulter to the Pontifical Council for the Family and the Pontifical Council for Health Care Workers, who’s based at the Collège des Bernardins in Paris. He’s a psychotherapist controversial for his views on homosexuality and “gender theory.”
Although his presentation was long on therapeutic analysis, Anatrella did a credible job of slogging through components of the Code of Canon Law governing clergy accused of sexual crime with a minor.
In other ways, however, his presentation seemed seriously wanting. For instance, Anatrella argued that bishops have no duty to report allegations to the police, which he says is up to victims and their families. It’s a legalistic take on a critical issue, one which has brought only trouble for the Church and its leaders. Why, one wonders, was it part of a training session?
Most basically, canonical procedures kick in only after abuse has been alleged. Presumably the goal ought to be to stop those crimes from happening, and in that regard it’s striking that Anatrella devoted just a few paragraphs to abuse prevention, using abstract language without concrete examples.
It’s especially puzzling given the resources the Church has invested in prevention programs. In the United States, the bishops estimated in 2013 that they had spent $260 million since 2002. A new book called “The Whole Truth” by Chicago-based attorney Joe Klest, an agnostic who’s made millions suing the Church on behalf of abuse victims, praises those efforts.
“We need to focus on the protection of our children, the prevention of abuse, and swift intervention when abuse occurs,” Klest writes, referring to all of society. “The fact is that the institution that’s done more to create a reforming model for doing that is the Catholic Church.”
For perspective, I contacted Monsignor Stephen Rossetti, who’s on the board of the Rome-based Gregorian University’s Centre for Child Protection, to ask, “What should new bishops be told about sexual abuse?”
Here’s what he said bishops need to know:
1. “How to deal with victims, because it’s not intuitively obvious.” 2. “They have to know the canonical material.” 3. “What the red flags [for abuse] are … It’s important to be concrete, giving scenarios and talking out what an effective response looks like.” 4. “How to deal with accused priests … including the risk of recidivism, as well as how to show charity without enabling abusive behavior.” 5. Abuse prevention resources: “We don’t have to start from scratch. There are effective programs available right now.”
Judging by the published papers, only the second point figured prominently in the “baby bishops” program last year.
The omissions raise an obvious question: Why is the Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, the body led by O’Malley, not entrusted with making such a presentation to new bishops?
That commission took a hit on Saturday when one of two members who are also abuse survivors, Peter Saunders, was given a leave of absence amid his bitter complaints about the pope’s response to several recent controversies. Yet its raison d’être remains identifying best practices in prevention, detection, and response; its officials have made presentations to bishops’ conferences around the world to share that experience.
The next course for new bishops will be held in early September. In parallel fashion, the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples, responsible for bishops in mission territories, holds its own program. It’s hard to see why the commission wouldn’t be invited to both.
If the Church is to recover from the abuse scandals, bishops need every tool available, and these courses provide a chance to equip them. It would be a shame, to say the very least, not to take full advantage. ||||| ROME, Feb. 11 (UPI) -- A newly released Catholic church document tells bishops they don't have to report clerical child abuse accusations to the police.
In laying out how newly appointed senior members of the clergy should deal with abuse allegations, the Vatican said bishops must be aware of local laws but their only duty was to deal with cases internally.
"According to the state of civil laws of each country where reporting is obligatory, it is not necessarily the duty of the bishop to report suspects to authorities, the police or state prosecutors in the moment when they are made aware of crimes or sinful deeds," the training guide states.
The Church's policy was first reported Feb. 7 by Vatican journalist John Allen, associate editor of the Cruxnow.com Catholic news site. The Vatican released the bishop training guidelines at an early February press conference, asking for feedback.
Victims groups reacted angrily to the edict, written by a French monsignor, despite Pope Francis declaring "everything possible must be done to rid the church of the scourge of the sexual abuse."
The Pontifical Commission for the Protection of Minors, the special commission created by the Pope, apparently wasn't involved in putting together the guidelines, despite its designed role to develop protocols for dealing with and preventing the clerical abuse of children.
Wayne Chamley of the victims advocate group Broken Rites said the document was "unfathomable and yet it does not surprise me."
Nicky Davis, of Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP, said clergy should be legally obliged to report suspected abuse.
"Their systems function to protect the interests of the institution," she said. "They don't put the protection of children first."
The guidelines were written by French monsignor and psychotherapist Tony Anatrella, who has run into controversy previously for promoting the belief that children are being harmed by the growing acceptance of homosexuality in Western society. |||||
| Catholic bishops who suspect clerical child abuse need not report it to police. That's apparently the opinion of the Vatican, spelled out in a training document for newly appointed bishops. "According to the state of civil laws of each country where reporting is obligatory, it is not necessarily the duty of the bishop to report suspects to authorities, the police, or state prosecutors in the moment when they are made aware of crimes or sinful deeds," the document written by a French monsignor states, per the Guardian. Instead, it notes it's a bishop's duty to report the abuse internally, and let victims or their family members share the claims with police. The document appears to have been created with no help from the special commission Pope Francis formed to develop "best practices" to prevent and address clerical abuse, reports Cruxnow.com. Indeed, a church official says the commission would likely take issue with the document since it views reporting abuse to civil authorities as a "moral obligation, whether the civil law requires it or not." An advocate for victims of clerical sexual abuse calls the document "unfathomable," per UPI. "It's infuriating, and dangerous that so many believe the myth that bishops are changing how they deal with abuse," a rep for the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests adds. |

Ex Input:
Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic, meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions (low pH). It can have harmful effects on plants, aquatic animals and infrastructure. Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide, which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids. Some governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere with positive results. Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes, and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions. Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests, freshwaters and soils, killing insect and aquatic life-forms, causing paint to peel, corrosion of steel structures such as bridges, and weathering of stone buildings and statues as well as having impacts on human health.
Ex Output:
what is acid rain and what are its effects

Input: Consider Input: Johnnie had a set of small volumes of English verse, extensively annotated by his own hand, which Stoddard had brought to her early in their acquaintance, leaving it with her more as a gift than as a loan. She kept these little books after all the others had gone back. She had read and reread them--cullings from Chaucer, from Spenser, from the Elizabethan lyrists, the border balladry, fierce, tender, oh, so human--till she knew pages of them by heart, and their vocabulary influenced her own, their imagery tinged all her leisure thoughts. It seemed to her, whenever she debated returning them, that she could not bear it. She would get them out and sit with one of them open in her hands, not reading, but staring at the pages with unseeing eyes, passing her fingers over it, as one strokes a beloved hand, or turning through each book only to find the pencilled words in the margins. She would be giving up part of herself when she took these back. Yet it had to be done, and one miserable morning she made them all into a neat package, intending to carry them to the mill and place them on Stoddard's desk thus early, when nobody would be in the office. Then the children came in; Deanie was half sick; and in the distress of getting the ailing child comfortably into her own bed, Johnnie forgot the books. Taking them in at noon, she met Stoddard himself. <sep>In what books were the words from Chaucer and Spenser?<sep>Small volumes of English verse
Output: Yes
Input: Consider Input: 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 are the ways Einstein contributed to the development of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem?<sep>President of Israel
Output: No
Input: Consider Input: Have you are burned something on the stove or in the oven? Do you know why things burn? It all has to do with temperature. Changes in matter are affected by temperature. For example, what if you place a cake in the oven and you leave it in too long? What do you think will happen? Thats right, it will probably burn. The same thing will happen if the oven setting is too high and you apply too much heat. In either case, heat has affected the rate of change in matter. Its probably obvious that when the temperature is increased a chemical change, like cooking, will occur faster. What about a physical change? Are physical changes affected by temperature? Most of us have seen steam rising off a wet road after a summer rainstorm. This happens because the road surface is very warm. The warm road and warm air temperature causes the water to evaporate quickly. The liquid water is turning into water vapor, but it is still water. The evaporation of water is a physical change. So yes, temperature affects the rate that physical change occurs. <sep>What causes things to burn?<sep>Evaporation

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>Name a few types of non contact force<sep>Magnetic force

Over the centuries, the living here has always been easy enough to attract a steady stream of immigrants. Bountiful food sources might have made Malaysia an inviting place for the contemporaries of Java Man — in 230,000 b.c. But thus far, the country's earliest traces of homo sapiens, found in the Niah Caves of northern Sarawak, are fragments of a skull dating to 40,000 b.c. On the peninsula, the oldest human-related relics (10,000 b.c. ) are Stone Age tools of the Negritos. These small, dark Melanesians are related in type to Australian aborigines and are confined today to the forests of the northern highlands. By 2,000 b.c. , these timid, gentle nomads hunting with bow and arrow were driven back from the coasts by waves of sturdy immigrants arriving in outrigger canoes equipped with sails. Mongolians from South China and Polynesian and Malay peoples from the Philippines and the Indonesian islands settled along the rivers of the peninsula and northern Borneo. They practiced a slash-and-burn agriculture of yams and millet, a technique that exhausted the soil and imposed a semi-nomadic existence from one jungle clearing to another. Families lived in wooden longhouses like those still to be seen today among the Iban peoples of Sarawak. Another unit was added on to the communal dwelling each time a marriage created a new family. Other tough migrants from the South Seas settled along the coasts — sailors, fishermen, traders (for the most part pirates) — known euphemistically as orang laut (sea people). <sep>What is the name of the people who are confined today to the forests of the northern highlands?<sep>Malaysians

How to make buddha bowls
Use cooked rice.
Place a few small scoops of cooked rice into a large bowl. If you're not adding any other grains or starches, consider using about 1/2 cup (125 g) of cooked rice.
OPTIONS:
- White rice has a very low salt content and is often used for sake. Do not use whole wheat rice-it has a smaller amount of salt.
- For a little variety, try using one of these types of rice : Jasmine or basmati wild brown bhutanese red Try barley or quinoa. If you're tired of rice or just want a different texture, use cooked barley or quinoa.
- Rice should be relatively dry and gentle on your hands; not only does it have less starch, but it provides a firmer grip on the grains as well. Cooked rice likely won't crumble like cooked rice, or be ruined as it sits.

Input: Earthquakes seemed to outline a special feature of earth's crust. Earthquakes let scientists know where the crust was moving. This led to the discovery that the Earths crust was broken up into regions, or plates. Earthquakes happen most often along these plate boundaries. This was evidence that continents can move. The movements of the plates are called plate tectonics. The Earths crust is divided into plates. There are about a dozen large plates and several small ones. Each plate is named for the continent or ocean basin it contains. Scientists know he plates are in motion. They now know the direction and speed of this motion . Plates dont move very fast. They move only a few centimeters a year. This is about the same rate fingernails grow. So you might wonder, what could cause this motion? What supplies the energy to cause this change? <sep>What moves at the same rate that fingernails grow?<sep>Earthquakes

Tuesday, September 11, 2001, dawned temperate and nearly cloudless in the eastern United States. Millions of men and women readied themselves for work. Some made their way to the Twin Towers, the signature structures of the World Trade Center complex in New York City. Others went to Arlington, Virginia, to the Pentagon. Across the Potomac River, the United States Congress was back in session. At the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, people began to line up for a White House tour. In Sarasota, Florida, President George W. Bush went for an early morning run. For those heading to an airport, weather conditions could not have been better for a safe and pleasant journey. Among the travelers were Mohamed Atta and Abdul Aziz al Omari, who arrived at the airport in Portland, Maine. Boston: American 11 and United 175. Atta and Omari boarded a 6:00 A.M. flight from Portland to Boston's Logan International Airport. When he checked in for his flight to Boston, Atta was selected by a computerized prescreening system known as CAPPS (Computer Assisted Passenger Prescreening System), created to identify passengers who should be subject to special security measures. Under security rules in place at the time, the only consequence of Atta's selection by CAPPS was that his checked bags were held off the plane until it was confirmed that he had boarded the aircraft. This did not hinder Atta's plans. Atta and Omari arrived in Boston at 6:45. Seven minutes later, Atta apparently took a call from Marwan al Shehhi, a longtime colleague who was at another terminal at Logan Airport. They spoke for three minutes. It would be their final conversation. <sep>What were the targets of their attack?<sep>The Potomac River

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
What are the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans ?, Context: Because of the great diversity found in animals, it is more economical for scientists to study a small number of chosen species so that connections can be drawn from their work and conclusions extrapolated about how animals function in general. Because they are easy to keep and breed, the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster and the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans have long been the most intensively studied metazoan model organisms, and were among the first life-forms to be genetically sequenced. This was facilitated by the severely reduced state of their genomes, but as many genes, introns, and linkages lost, these ecdysozoans can teach us little about the origins of animals in general. The extent of this type of evolution within the superphylum will be revealed by the crustacean, annelid, and molluscan genome projects currently in progress. Analysis of the starlet sea anemone genome has emphasised the importance of sponges, placozoans, and choanoflagellates, also being sequenced, in explaining the arrival of 1500 ancestral genes unique to the Eumetazoa.
Answer: | metazoan model organisms |

The Olde English Bulldogge is a recently created American dog breed. In the 1970s David Leavitt created a true-breeding lineage as a re-creation of the healthier working bulldog from early nineteenth century England. Using a breeding scheme developed for cattle, Leavitt crossed English bulldogs, American Bulldogs, American Pit Bull Terriers and Bull Mastiffs. The result was an athletic breed that looks similar to the bulldogs of 1820 but also has a friendly temperament.

question:
Goalkeepers are normally allowed to handle the ball within their own penalty area, and once they have control of the ball in their hands opposition players may not challenge them for it. However the back-pass rule prohibits goalkeepers from handling the ball after it has been deliberately kicked to them by a team-mate, or after receiving it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate. Back-passes with parts of the body other than the foot, such as headers, are not prohibited. Despite the popular name ``back-pass rule'', there is no requirement in the laws that the kick or throw-in must be backwards; handling by the goalkeeper is forbidden regardless of the direction the ball travels.
answer:
| can goalie pick up ball from throw in?

Q: Expansion quickly peaked however, and the European powers who had carved up the New World set about testing each other in dynastic conflicts and colonial rivalry. The English were the main rivals of the Dutch on the high seas, and there were several wars between the two in the 17th and 18th centuries. In 1665–1667 the Dutch sailed up the River Medway and sank the British fleet moored there. The 18th century saw Amsterdam grow into the foremost financial center in the world, but the seeds of decline had already been planted. When the English colonies in New England rose up in revolt against the British, they found ready Ailies in the Dutch. From their colonies in the Caribbean they sent caches of arms and ammunition. The British were furious and went to war in 1780, destroying the Dutch navy and signaling a sudden decline in power and influence from which the Netherlands never recovered. Trade suffered to such an extent that in 1791 the VOC went into liquidation. In the latter part of the century there were anti-Orange demonstrations by pro-French factions in the country, and in 1795 Napoleon Bonaparte took the Netherlands in his epic march across Europe. Under the yoke of another foreign power, and with trade at an all time low, the Golden Age was truly dead. The Return of the House of Orange Napoleon installed his brother Louis as King of Holland and he chose to take the fine Town Hall on Dam Square as his palace — now the Koninklijk Palace. But only four years later he fled the city after civil disturbances broke out when he raised taxes. When Napoleon's bubble burst and French power began to wane, William of Orange emerged from exile and was proclaimed king in 1813. Amsterdam had to work its way out of economic decline, but throughout the 19th century the city grew steadily. Industrialization changed the city. With the building of the Central Station at the end of the century, Amsterdam turned its back on its seafaring past and looked towards the mechanical age for its future. The station was built over the old harbor wall and some of the oldest canals in the city center were filled in to allow better access to motorized vehicles. Dam Square was landlocked for the first time in its history. <sep>The building of the Central Station occurred at the end of which century?<sep>18th

Q: (CNN) -- Horror-meister, Stephen King calls George Pelecanos "perhaps the greatest living American crime writer." His stories are set in Pelecanos' hometown of Washington, D.C., but this is not the side of the U.S. capitol that you see portrayed on TV with white marble monuments, lawyers and lobbyists. Pelecanos is more interested in working families struggling to get by, the racial tensions in its ethnic neighborhoods and the low-lifes on the edges. His crime-writing peers call Pelecanos the "undisputed poet" of Washington's gritty side. The best-selling and award-winning author is out this week with his 17th and latest novel, "The Cut." It's the first in a new series featuring Iraq war veteran and private investigator Spero Lucas. When he's not working for a Washington defense attorney, Lucas recovers stolen property for a 40% cut. Now, a high-profile crime boss hires Lucas to find out who's been stealing from him, and it could turn out to be Lucas' biggest payday or an untimely end. While Pelecanos made his bones in the noir tradition, there's a definite "Western" feel to "The Cut." The new novel takes place in a morally gray and often violent world. It's peppered with pitch-perfect dialogue and captures the sights, sounds and taste of Washington in rich detail. In short, Pelecanos reads like the real deal. Pelecanos knows a thing or two about capturing the authenticity of urban America with an ethnically and socially diverse cast. In addition to his success as a novelist, Pelecanos is a producer and writer for HBO's New Orleans-set, "Treme." He was previously a producer and Emmy-nominated writer on the hit series "The Wire" and the miniseries "The Pacific." Read an excerpt from "The Cut" CNN recently spoke to Pelecanos about his new novel. The following is an edited transcript.

Q: Canadians tweet support for Turks and Caicos becoming 11th province
The Premier of Turks and Caicos Islands, Rufus Ewing, met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper today in Ottawa and said the two leaders spoke about exploring a more formal relationship.

Turks and Caicos premier leaves door open on tropical islands becoming Canada's 11th province: http://t.co/eWl7BtKwgR http://t.co/tTYV8rkdZKCTV Kitchener
The weather is finally warming up across most of Canada now, but we aren't far removed from a time when snow covered our streets and we had to bundle up just to walk out the door. During those days it's easy to think about getting away to a tropical destination. But what if you didn't even need to show your passport to get there.
The premier of Turks and Caicos, Rufus Ewing, met with Prime Minister Stephen Harper today in Ottawa and said they spoke about exploring a more formal relationship. Ewing is leaving the door open to the prospect of joining Canada. He described the meeting as a "courtship", but said they didn't discuss the possibility of the islands becoming the 11th province.
Had a courtesy meeting with Premier of the Turks and Caicos Islands @docrewing today. #cdnpoli http://t.co/2J9JI2kSO8Stephen Harper
Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird was quick to shoot down the idea saying Canada is "not in the business of annexing islands...so that's not something we're exploring."
But a quick look to Twitter shows many Canadians are in favour of the idea. Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall even tweeted that if the islands can't join Canada, he'd be happy to have them join his province.

I'm moving. Bye guys. - Canada’s eleventh province: Turks and Caicos? http://t.co/5xZQ3DrhzK via @torontostarAmira de Vera ||||| The head of the Turks and Caicos Islands says the country remains open to the long-simmering notion of joining Canada, which is backed by one Canadian premier but dismissed by the federal government.
Turks and Caicos Premier Rufus Ewing led a delegation to Ottawa on Monday, meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper and other officials during a trip aimed at boosting ties between the countries.
However, the Caribbean nation – a collection of 40 mostly uninhabited islands and roughly 35,000 people – has been the subject of annexation talk, a possible 11th province or fourth territory, for nearly a century. The subject came up again on Monday.
Story continues below advertisement
Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall offered to welcome Turks and Caicos to his province. He later said the offer was partially tongue-in-cheek – "Saskatchewarm," he coined it.
"I think we want to be constructive in Saskatchewan. If the Prime Minister's looking for a way to make this happen and doesn't want to go through the challenge of creating a province or territory, and Turks and Caicos want to make this happen, just, you know, we'd like a tropical island," Mr. Wall said in an interview. Asked how that could legally work, he replied: "I don't know, but if there was a hope we'd put a great group on it and find out."
The notion of the island nation somehow joining Canada dates back at least as far as 1917 and has the backing of one Conservative backbencher, Peter Goldring. He bristles at the notion of annexation but favours boosted economic ties and, if both countries' populations agree, a union of some kind.
The island leader's trip was focused on trade, however. While not ruling out a place in Canada, he said it was not imminent.
"I'm not closing the door completely. It is not of my mandate to close the door … What I'll say is on the radar is some kind of relationship. I can't say what kind of relationship it will be," Dr. Ewing, a surgeon by trade who now serves as his country's premier and tourism minister, told reporters.
Canadians pining for tropical turf can take some solace, however – his trip was aimed at further greasing the wheels for Canadians to travel to and do business in Turks and Caicos, with Dr. Ewing saying he was seeking "relaxation of immigration issues" to the point of "seamless" borders.
The Conservative government, however, was firmly rejecting any suggestion of welcoming Turks and Caicos into the Canadian fold. "We're not in the business of annexing islands in the Caribbean to be part of Canada. So that's not something that we're exploring. We're not looking at any sort of formal association with the islands," Foreign Affairs Minister John Baird said.

Story continues below advertisement
That will come as little surprise to Mr. Wall. He has never been to Turks and Caicos, and Dr. Ewing has never been to Saskatchewan. Mr. Wall said he recalls hearing talk about the Turks and Caicos joining Canada as long as he's been in politics.
"I think people smile when they talk about it," he said, "and probably think it'll never happen." |||||
A: | Canadians who want to get away from brutal winters are still going to have to leave the country. After a meeting that Turks and Caicos Premier Rufus Ewing described as a "courtship," a Canadian government spokesman quashed talk that Canada would annex the nation as an 11th province, CTV reports. "We're not in the business of annexing islands in the Caribbean to be part of Canada," the country's foreign minister said. "So that’s not something that we’re exploring." But Ewing refused to rule out the possibility of the nation someday joining Canada, reports the Globe and Mail, which notes that the idea first surfaced almost a century ago. "I'm not closing the door completely. It is not of my mandate to close the door," Ewing said. "What I'll say is on the radar is some kind of relationship. I can't say what kind of relationship it will be." Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall, meanwhile, says he'd be happy to welcome the island group to his landlocked province to create "Saskatchewarm."

In 1934, the ball was made more pointed at the ends. The creation of the pointed football is generally credited to Shorty Ray, at the time a college football official and later the NFL's head of officiating. This made passing the ball easier, as was its intent, but made the drop kick obsolete, as the more pointed ball did not bounce up from the ground reliably. The drop kick was supplanted by the place kick, which cannot be attempted out of a formation generally used as a running or passing set. The drop kick remains in the rules, but is seldom seen, and rarely effective when attempted. In Canadian football the drop kick can be taken from any point on the field, unlike placekicks which must be attempted behind the line of scrimmage.

A photo from NASA's Curiosity rover on Mars set the Internet abuzz this week with claims that the robot had found a "thigh bone" on the Red Planet. But not so fast. That so-called bone? Just a weathered Martian rock, NASA says.
The erroneous bone claim first appeared on a UFO blog and was quickly picked up by media outlets. So much so, that NASA released Curiosity's "thigh bone" Mars rock photo with a science explanation on Thursday (Aug. 21).
In the photo description, NASA officials wrote that while "this Mars rock may look like a femur thigh bone," it is not the fossilized remains of a mysterious Martian. "Mission science team members think its shape is likely sculpted by erosion, either wind or water."
The Curiosity rover has found evidence that Mars was once a habitable place in the ancient past, but there is no evidence that creatures large enough to leave a bone behind ever existed on the planet.
"If life ever existed on Mars, scientists expect that it would be small simple life forms called microbes," NASA officials wrote in the photo description. "Mars likely never had enough oxygen in its atmosphere and elsewhere to support more complex organisms. Thus, large fossils are not likely."
There is a long tradition of seeing shapes in Mars rocks that don't reflect reality. The phenomenon in which the human brain perceives faces, animals or other shapes that aren't really there is known as pareidolia.

That Mars illusion history dates back to the late 1800s, when astronomers reported seeing canals on the Red Planet in telescope views. Then in 1976, a photo from NASA's Viking 1 orbiter revealed a formation that gained fame as the " Face on Mars ." Later observations by NASA and European spacecraft showed no face, just a large rock feature, proving the face was just a trick of shadow and light.
Since the "Face on Mars," photos from Mars orbiters and rovers have captured shapes resembling a lizard, a rat and even a jelly donut — all of them just illusions or strange rock formations on the Red Planet.
NASA's 1-ton Curiosity rover has been exploring Mars since its arrival in August 2012.

A newly published photo of Mars taken by NASA's Curiosity rover could send you racing to alert the local CSI crew.
An image caught by the rover's MastCam on August 14 shows a collection of rocks, half buried in dust. One in particular stands out. It looks quite a bit like a femur bone from a thigh.
This is all it takes to get alien fanatics excited about the possibility of fossilized alien remains on Mars. However, an alien femur on Mars is no more real than the uneaten jelly doughnut on the Red Planet or the infamous monument to Elvis.
NASA said Thursday its science team members expect that the rock was shaped through erosion caused by wind or water. NASA knows how images of odd objects can stir up the public imagination, so the space agency gives this preemptive statement: "If life ever existed on Mars, scientists expect that it would be small simple life forms called microbes. Mars likely never had enough oxygen in its atmosphere and elsewhere to support more complex organisms. Thus, large fossils are not likely."
The thigh-bone-looking rock actually looks different from a regular human femur. It's crooked, rather than straight, which only feeds the imagination when it comes to alien anatomy. Chalk this up to the human tendency to try to make sense out of random shapes. |||||
Output: | Sorry, ET lovers: That "fossilized thigh bone" spotted on Mars this week was really just (can you bear the tension) a rock, NASA says. "No bones about it!" writes the agency on its website. "Mission science team members think its shape is likely sculpted by erosion, either wind or water." The Houston Chronicle calls NASA scientists "space agency killjoys" for explaining that any life in Mars' history likely existed at the microbial level, owing to a lack of oxygen to support complex life forms. And CNET notes that the rock was too crooked to be a thigh bone anyway. But today's alien enthusiasts aren't the first to dream: Astronomers claimed to see canals on Mars in the 1800s, and fans interpreted a "face" amid the light-and-shadow play of a 1976 photo of the planet's surface, Space.com reports. |

How to use a monocular
Use your dominant eye.
If you have impaired vision, it is important to use the eye with the best vision. This can be helpful even if you have normal vision.
OPTIONS:
(1). Hold the monocular up against this eye while using. Be sure to hold the monocular with the hand on the same side as the dominant eye.
(2). The optical focus effect of an monocular is impaired with your dominant eye, so it is important to maintain focus well and consistently while taking the monocular. In practice, the monocular should be the same size as your eye.
(3). As always, provide your glasses to protect your field vision, even if it is too dark outside. Point your non-dominant eye at an object.
(4). Find the first tint of blue in the light bulb. Use your dominant eye, the inner piece of the monocular, to place shadow over the highlighter.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
question:
Who can remove the plague?, Context: A number of non-Greek etymologies have been suggested for the name, The Hittite form Apaliunas (dx-ap-pa-li-u-na-aš) is attested in the Manapa-Tarhunta letter, perhaps related to Hurrian (and certainly the Etruscan) Aplu, a god of plague, in turn likely from Akkadian Aplu Enlil meaning simply "the son of Enlil", a title that was given to the god Nergal, who was linked to Shamash, Babylonian god of the sun. The role of Apollo as god of plague is evident in the invocation of Apollo Smintheus ("mouse Apollo") by Chryses, the Trojan priest of Apollo, with the purpose of sending a plague against the Greeks (the reasoning behind a god of the plague becoming a god of healing is of course apotropaic, meaning that the god responsible for bringing the plague must be appeased in order to remove the plague).
answer:
god of plague
question:
what is the last ethnic description mentioned?, Context: President Franklin D. Roosevelt promoted a "good neighbor" policy that sought better relations with Mexico. In 1935 a federal judge ruled that three Mexican immigrants were ineligible for citizenship because they were not white, as required by federal law. Mexico protested, and Roosevelt decided to circumvent the decision and make sure the federal government treated Hispanics as white. The State Department, the Census Bureau, the Labor Department, and other government agencies therefore made sure to uniformly classify people of Mexican descent as white. This policy encouraged the League of United Latin American Citizens in its quest to minimize discrimination by asserting their whiteness.
answer:
whiteness
question:
What are the established orthodoxies that metaphors can link to?, Context: The term heresy is also used as an ideological pigeonhole for contemporary writers because, by definition, heresy depends on contrasts with an established orthodoxy. For example, the tongue-in-cheek contemporary usage of heresy, such as to categorize a "Wall Street heresy" a "Democratic heresy" or a "Republican heresy," are metaphors that invariably retain a subtext that links orthodoxies in geology or biology or any other field to religion. These expanded metaphoric senses allude to both the difference between the person's views and the mainstream and the boldness of such a person in propounding these views.
answer:
| geology or biology or any other field to religion

Q: Cadet averaged one yard per game across the three game appearances.
Cadet signed a contract with the Bills on Saturday. With running back Taiwan Jones (arm) out for the season, the Bills wasted no time securing more depth in their backfield. Cadet most recently suited up for the Jets while their backfield was dealing with injuries, making just one rushing attempt for three yards across three game appearances. Once again, it will probably be tough for him to secure significant carries, as he'll be behind both LeSean McCoy and Mike Tolbert on the depth chart.

How to determine a quorum
Determine what number represents a majority in your organization.
A simple majority is the best way to determine a quorum if you don't have a certain number already listed in the by-laws. Find out the total membership of your organization, and then divide that number in such a way as to have one number greater than the other by one.
For example, if you have a board of eight members, a majority would be five, while the minority would be three. Therefore, in this example you would need five people to have a quorum.

In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
PARIS Former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn says his sexual encounter with a New York hotel maid was "consensual but stupid" and cost him his chance to be the next French president, according to a biography to be published on Thursday.
The book, written by Michel Taubmann who says Strauss-Kahn confided in him, covers sex scandals that have dogged the former French finance minister even after the U.S. assault case ended his career as IMF head and wrecked his chances of running in France's 2012 election.
"Nothing would have happened if I hadn't had this consensual, but stupid relationship with Nafissatou Diallo," Strauss-Kahn is quoted as saying in the book. "That day, I opened the door to all the other affairs."
Strauss-Kahn was arrested in New York on May 14 onboard a plane bound for Europe minutes before take-off and charged with attempting to rape Diallo.
Prosecutors eventually dropped all criminal charges, leaving him free to return to his native France. French prosecutors then ruled that a separate sexual assault complaint filed against Strauss-Kahn by a writer involved an incident that happened too long ago for legal action.
"I could have been in a position to be president," Strauss-Kahn is quoted as saying in the book. "Now, I'm no longer in that position, that's all."
He adds that he had an "uninhibited sex life" but says that was not unusual in political and business circles and that he had done nothing illegal.
The media furor around Strauss-Kahn has not stopped with the Diallo case. His name has appeared in media reports on a judicial probe into a prostitution ring in the north of France, known as the Carlton Affair.
That case involves a prostitution ring, discovered this year, that operated in the luxury Carlton Hotel in the city of Lille.
Strauss-Kahn last month asked to speak to investigators in the case to try to end the "dangerous and malicious insinuations."
"In the press, they link my name to prostitution. It's unbearable," he is quoted as saying in the book. "I did go to sex parties, it's true, but usually those who came to these soirees were not prostitutes."
(Reporting By John Irish; Editing by Roger Atwood) ||||| Dans le nouveau livre de Michel Taubmann, son biographe, l’ancien patron du FMI donne pour la première fois sa version de ce qui s’est passé dans la suite 2806 du Sofitel.
Les mystères du Sofitel
Nafissatou Diallo s’est beaucoup contredite à propos de son emploi du temps après la « tentative de viol » qu’elle dit avoir subie. Premier récit, le 18 mai 2011, devant le grand jury du tribunal pénal de Manhattan. La plaignante raconte que, s’enfuyant terrifiée de la suite 2806, elle s’est cachée dans un local du 28e étage jusqu’au départ de son « agresseur ». Quelques semaines plus tard, les clefs électroniques invalident ce récit. Elles prouvent la présence de la femme de chambre dans une autre suite, proche de celle de DSK, la 2820. Pour se justifier, Nafissatou Diallo affirme alors s’y être occupée pendant une dizaine de minutes à « faire le ménage », tout en sanglotant, dans l’attente du départ du directeur général du FMI. Cette deuxième version paraît totalement fantaisiste. Et pour cause ! Les clefs électroniques témoignent que Nafissatou Diallo s’était déjà rendue à trois reprises dans la suite 2820, entre 10 heures et midi, avant sa rencontre avec Dominique Strauss-Kahn ! Cette révélation pose de nouvelles questions.
– Quelle est donc cette chambre qui nécessite qu’on s’y reprenne à quatre fois, et pendant deux heures, pour la nettoyer ?
– Si le ménage n’y est pas terminé à 12 h 06, pourquoi la femme de chambre la quitte-t-elle pour se rendre dans celle de DSK ?
– La suite 2820 est-elle occupée quand la femme de chambre s’y rend plus tôt dans la matinée ?
– Qui est l’occupant de la suite 2820 ? […] Etait-il un client ordinaire ou un complice éventuel avec qui Nafissatou Diallo aurait pu se concerter ? […]
L’absence de réponse à ces questions ouvre la voie à toutes les suspicions. Si Nafissatou Diallo disposait d’un complice dans l’hôtel, agissaient-ils tous deux à l’insu de la direction du Sofitel ou avec son accord ?
Pour y voir clair, il faudrait, par exemple, connaître l’identité de la personne qui est entrée dans la chambre de DSK, en son absence, dans la soirée du vendredi, au moyen d’une clef électronique appartenant à un employé ne travaillant pas ce jour-là. Il faudrait aussi savoir pourquoi un ingénieur, chargé entre autres tâches de la vidéosurveillance de l’hôtel, s’est rendu à deux reprises dans la chambre 2806 juste après le départ de DSK*. En l’absence de réponse de la part du groupe Accor, l’auteur en vient à poser une question. Cet ingénieur chargé de la vidéosurveillance serait-il venu pour faire disparaître, avant l’arrivée de la police, une ou plusieurs caméras installées là antérieurement, afin d’espionner l’hôte de la suite présidentielle ? Dans ce cas, l’affaire serait gravissime.

Une tenue antisuicide à Rikers Island
Lors du transport vers la prison de Rikers Island en milieu d’après-midi, Dominique Strauss-Kahn est complètement enchaîné selon les mesures extrêmement rigoureuses décidées après le 11 septembre 2001. Outre les menottes passées par-devant avec les mains sur le ventre, son corps est entravé par deux lourdes chaînes en fer : l’une relie les deux pieds et l’autre, formée de gros maillons, passe derrière le dos et attache ses mains à son ventre. Il subira ce traitement à deux autres reprises, le jeudi suivant pour aller de la prison au tribunal, puis en revenir. Le transport se fait, chaque fois, dans un van à l’intérieur duquel le prisonnier est solidement encadré par des gardiens de taille impressionnante, spécialisés dans la surveillance de détenus dangereux […]
Pour préserver sa vie, on l’installe dans une cellule individuelle à West Facility, un petit bâtiment réservé aux prisonniers porteurs de maladies transmissibles. La cellule mesure 12 mètres carrés et comporte un lit en fer, une petite table et un WC non séparé. Dès son arrivée, le nouveau détenu se soumet à une batterie d’examens médicaux. Il est à nouveau entendu par un psychologue. « Je lui répète ce que j’ai dit un peu plus tôt à son confrère. Mais il ne veut rien entendre. Il a des consignes. La prison ne peut pas prendre le moindre risque avec moi. Il interprète chacune de mes réponses dans le sens souhaité. Quand il me dit qu’on va me mettre sous surveillance antisuicide, je lui réponds que cela risque vraiment de me démolir le moral. Mais chacun de mes mots le renforce dans ses convictions. » On impose donc à Dominique Strauss-Kahn une tenue antisuicide. Il se retrouve nu sous une robe en tissu très épais, fermée aux épaules avec des scratchs, impossible à déchirer afin d’éviter une pendaison. Dans le même but, il porte aux pieds des chaussures en toile et sans lacets. On lui prend aussi sa montre, de crainte qu’il n’utilise le verre pour se tailler les veines. « Je chausse du 43 mais, comme on n’avait pas de chaussures antisuicide à ma taille, je me suis retrouvé avec du 47, ce qui m’a donné pendant quatre jours une curieuse démarche. » […]

Retrouvez dès demain tous les extraits du livre de Michel Taubmann, « Affaires DSK, la contre-enquête » (Editions du Moment) dans Paris Match, N°3263, du 1er au 7 décembre. ||||| Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive. Flowing in every day, these data are added to the Wayback Machine after an embargo period. ||||| | Dominique Strauss-Kahn said when he stepped naked from the shower to see the Manhattan hotel maid who later accused him of rape, their eyes met and he read an invitation to "precipitous but consensual" sex, says a new biography out today. But he still considers the encounter "stupid" because it was the beginning of the end of his political ambitions, he tells author Michel Taubmann. "That day, I opened the door to all the other affairs. I could have been in a position to be president," Strauss-Kahn is quoted as saying in excerpts from Affaires DSK in Paris Match. "Now, I'm no longer in that position." He admits that he has enjoyed an "uninhibited sex life," but adds that's not unusual in politics and business, and that he has done nothing illegal, reports Reuters. New York prosecutors eventually dropped all charges against Strauss-Kahn, and some believe he was framed as part of a conspiracy to ruin his reputation. In a separate case, French authorities decided that too much time had elapsed to levy charges for an alleged sex assault on a French writer. Now DSK is apparently part of an investigation eyeing him as a possible client of a prostitution ring. "In the press, they link my name to prostitution. It's unbearable," he says in the book. "I did go to sex parties, it's true, but usually those who came to these soirées were not prostitutes." |

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Input: Consider Input: what field of study is mentioned second to last?, Context: Muslim physicians contributed to the field of medicine, including the subjects of anatomy and physiology: such as in the 15th century Persian work by Mansur ibn Muhammad ibn al-Faqih Ilyas entitled Tashrih al-badan (Anatomy of the body) which contained comprehensive diagrams of the body's structural, nervous and circulatory systems; or in the work of the Egyptian physician Ibn al-Nafis, who proposed the theory of pulmonary circulation. Avicenna's The Canon of Medicine remained an authoritative medical textbook in Europe until the 18th century. Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (also known as Abulcasis) contributed to the discipline of medical surgery with his Kitab al-Tasrif ("Book of Concessions"), a medical encyclopedia which was later translated to Latin and used in European and Muslim medical schools for centuries. Other medical advancements came in the fields of pharmacology and pharmacy.
Output: pharmacology
Input: Consider Input: What deal did officials come up with to minimize organized demonstrations?, Context: The New York Times reported that "government officials in Beijing and Sichuan have said they are investigating the collapses. In an acknowledgment of the weakness of building codes in the countryside, the National Development and Reform Commission said on May 27 that it had drafted an amendment to improve construction standards for primary and middle schools in rural areas. Experts are reviewing the draft, the commission said." To limit protests, officials pushed parents to sign a document, which forbade them from holding protests, in exchange of money, but some who refused to sign were threatened. The payment amounts varied from school to school but were approximately the same. In Hanwang, parents were offered a package valued at 8,800 USD in cash and a per-parent pension of nearly 5,600 USD. Furthermore, officials used other methods of silencing: riot police officers broke up protests by parents; the authorities set up cordons around the schools; and officials ordered the Chinese news media to stop reporting on school collapses.
Output: officials pushed parents to sign a document, which forbade them from holding protests, in exchange of money
Input: Consider Input: What did Madonna do four months after adopting Mercy James?, Context: Life with My Sister Madonna, a book by Madonna's brother Christopher, debuted at number two on The New York Times bestseller list. The book caused some friction between Madonna and her brother, because of the unsolicited publication. Problems also arose between Madonna and Ritchie, with the media reporting that they were on the verge of separation. Ultimately, Madonna filed for divorce from Ritchie, citing irreconcilable differences, which was finalized in December 2008. She decided to adopt from Malawi. The country's High Court initially approved the adoption of Chifundo "Mercy" James; however, the application was rejected because Madonna was not a resident of the country. Madonna appealed, and on June 12, 2009, the Supreme Court of Malawi granted Madonna the right to adopt Mercy James. She also released Celebration, her third greatest-hits album and final release with Warner. It contained the new songs "Celebration" and "Revolver" along with 34 hits spanning her career. Celebration reached number one in the UK, tying her with Elvis Presley as the solo act with most number one albums in the British chart history. She appeared at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009, to speak in tribute to deceased pop star Michael Jackson.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
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.
Output: Russian Revolution
This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
New input case for you: What way did Popper want to calculate things that is the opposite of subjective?, Context: Upon this basis, along with that of the logical content of assertions (where logical content is inversely proportional to probability), Popper went on to develop his important notion of verisimilitude or "truthlikeness". The intuitive idea behind verisimilitude is that the assertions or hypotheses of scientific theories can be objectively measured with respect to the amount of truth and falsity that they imply. And, in this way, one theory can be evaluated as more or less true than another on a quantitative basis which, Popper emphasises forcefully, has nothing to do with "subjective probabilities" or other merely "epistemic" considerations.
Output: | objectively |

Example Input: (CNN) -- German art collector Cornelius Gurlitt, whose nearly priceless collection was confiscated because it was suspected to contain pieces looted by the Nazis, died Tuesday and left the masterpieces to a Swiss museum. One day after Gurlitt's death at the age of 81, the Museum of Fine Arts Bern announced that Gurlitt had named it "his unrestricted and unfettered sole heir." The news came as a surprise, the museum said Wednesday, because Gurlitt had never had any connection to it. The museum's directors are delighted at the news, they said in a statement, but also recognize that there are outstanding legal and ethical questions surrounding the collection. Gurlitt had undergone major heart surgery and was hospitalized for many weeks, his representative said in a statement. Gurlitt grabbed the attention of the art world when German prosecutors seized more than 1,200 paintings from his Munich apartment in 2012, including works by Picasso and Matisse. The collection was confiscated as part of an investigation into tax fraud, but then it was thought that some of the paintings may have been works that were looted by the Nazis. Just last month, part of the collection was returned to Gurlitt as part of a deal with Germany's cultural authorities and the Bavarian Justice Ministry. Under the agreement, works owned by Gurlitt that were not under suspicion were returned to him. Those suspected of being stolen were to be held securely while a task force investigates their provenance -- and will be returned to their original Jewish owners or their descendants if a claim is proven. Gurlitt's representative said that with the art collector's death, the investigation into the collection ceases. The court that was handling the investigation proceedings will now function as an estate court in the case. <sep>Who was the German art collector that had undergone major heart surgery?<sep>Cornelius Gurlitt
Example Output: Yes
Example Input: He continued to lie in place, still breathing heavily. I tried to keep myself calm. Then, with a sigh, he said, "I have need of a certain stone that I once possessed. It would allow me to leave this bed, despite my current illness. My problem is that it was not made in this realm, but by a human, and only a human may handle it. The herb vendor will tell you where you can find it. If you would fetch me this stone, I would tell you what I can." "Of course we will fetch you the stone," Nepthys assured him. "You have our thanks." Outside, the thing at the herb cart nodded when we mentioned the stone. He told Nepthys the name of a woman who lived on a certain street, and we set off. When we reached the street, I expected some sort of temple, or a row of antiquaries, or at least a sleazy, black-market relics merchant. Instead, it looked like we were in the red-light district: women who probably wanted more than our money eyed us from the alleys. Nepthys didn't need to warn me not to speak to them. He took us to the door of a building like a short pagoda that had a sign hanging over it showing a face with hands uplifted, like a saint under G d's light, and handcuffed. Inside, the entrance room was hung with bright silks and scattered with velvet cushions. Sails of obscene orange and a green that insulted springtime hung draped across reds that might have been sensual elsewhere but here were only offensive. A large woman, similarly decorated, quickly drifted up to us. "Good evening, gentlemen," she said. "May I invite you to have a cup of tea?" "No, thank you," said Nepthys, "we regret that we cannot take up your kind offer. Are you the proprietor of this shop?" "Yes," answered the woman. "I am Madame Entera, at your service. <sep>Who is the large woman?<sep>Nephthys

New input case for you: (CNN) -- As Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad visited the U.N. General Assembly in New York last month, the spotlight was once again on Iran. And true to form, the Iranian president made his fair share of provocative statements for the Western media. But while Ahmadinejad's mercurial rants captured our media's attention, back in Iran a coordinated strategy against the women's movement continued. On the eve of Ahmadinejad's arrival to New York, Shiva Nazar Ahari, a prominent young female defender of human rights, received a heavy sentence of six years in prison on charges including the vague crime of "waging war against God" -- a convenient catch-all offense for anyone who criticizes the regime and its human rights record. There's no denying it -- Iran's women have had a bad year. Nazar Ahari joins a steadily increasing number of other women's rights activists who are in prison for no greater crime than their attempt to fight for the rights of the women. Hengameh Shahidi, Alieh Eghdam Doust, Bahareh Hedayat and Mahdiyeh Golrou have all been sent to Tehran's notorious Evin Prison on trumped-up charges related to their activism. And while Nobel Peace Prize laureate Shirin Ebadi, arguably the most internationally recognized Iranian women's rights activist, remains unable to safely return to her country, the government is targeting those affiliated with her for arrest and imprisonment, including her lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh and her former aide Jinous Sobhani. Since the 2009 disputed elections and associated government crackdown on the overall reform movement, the government has increasingly targeted women activists. The reasons behind this go well beyond the misogynist nature of Iran's religious leadership. Rather, it is more part of a deliberate and calculated strategy of the Iranian authorities to strike at the heart of the regime's greatest vulnerability -- internal legitimacy with its own people. See more CNN.com opinion articles Iran's government recognizes and fears the broader power of the women activists who have been on the front line of reform in Iran for more than a decade. One can roughly draw an analogy between the women's movement in Iran to movements of religious groups in Burma or Tibet, or the labor "solidarity" movements in the former Eastern bloc and associated labor-Roman Catholic solidarity in Poland -- all advocating initially for the freedoms of a specific group but which provoked government fears for their transformative power to promote broader human rights progress. While the outside world occasionally reacts to the most egregious manifestations of Iran's repression of women -- such as the international condemnation associated with Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani, an Iranian widow sentenced to stoning on charges of alleged adultery -- these events are often portrayed simply as a consequence of the regime's archaic viewpoint about gender. <sep>What are the names of five women who went to prison for no greater crime than their attempt to fight for the rights of women?<sep>Mahmoud Ahmadinejad

In the rest of the world, China's supreme sage, Kongfuzi (K'ung Fu-tzu), is better known by the romanized name "Confucius." He was born in 551 b.c. in what is now Shandong Province in eastern China. So profound was his influence that eleven Chinese emperors made pilgrimages to the birthplace of the Great Teacher. You, too, can pay your respects at the vast temple raised on the site of his home in the small town of Qufu (Chufu), and at his tomb in the woods just to the north. The classics of Confucius, while seldom addressing spiritual and metaphysical matters, set standards for social and political conduct that still underlie many of the Chinese ways of doing and perceiving. Confucius laid great stress on the proper and harmonious relationships between ruler and subject, parent and child, teacher and student, the individual and the state. These relationships were deemed to be hierarchical and dictatorial. If the order was disturbed, dire consequences inevitably resulted. The son who disobeyed the father would bring disaster upon himself and his family, just as the emperor who defied the "mandate of heaven" or ignored the good of the empire brought ruin upon the nation. Over the centuries Confucius has suffered more changes of fortune than probably any other philosopher. Honored soon after his death as the greatest of scholars, he was later revered as semi-divine; you can still visit temples to Confucius in many Chinese cities. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), however, he was denounced as a counter-revolutionary force. It was only after the death of Chairman Mao (1976) and the opening of China to the outside world under more progressive reformers that Confucius, too, was "rehabilitated." Unlike Confucius, about whose life many specific and even colorful details are known, the philosopher Laozi (Lao Tse or Lao-Tzu) is an enigma. Estimates of his date of birth vary by well over a century. One legend even says he taught the young Confucius. Laozi is immortalized by his book of thoughts on man, nature, and the universe, Daodejing ("The Way and Its Power"), which became the major text of China's greatest indigenous religion, Daoism (Taoism). With its emphasis on nature, intuition, the individual, paradox ("The knowledge which is not knowledge"), and the cosmic flow known as "The Way," Daoism became the religion of artists and philosophers. After the death of Confucius, the Zhou Dynasty entered a period of strife known as the "Warring States" period (475–221 b.c.). <sep>Do we know the exact date of Laozi's birth?<sep>No

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? If you are still confused, see the following 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.
Solution: Russian Revolution
Reason: This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
Now, solve this instance: What did Romans do to demonstrate their faith in the household in addition to praying?, Context: Roman religion was thus practical and contractual, based on the principle of do ut des, "I give that you might give." Religion depended on knowledge and the correct practice of prayer, ritual, and sacrifice, not on faith or dogma, although Latin literature preserves learned speculation on the nature of the divine and its relation to human affairs. Even the most skeptical among Rome's intellectual elite such as Cicero, who was an augur, saw religion as a source of social order. For ordinary Romans, religion was a part of daily life. Each home had a household shrine at which prayers and libations to the family's domestic deities were offered. Neighborhood shrines and sacred places such as springs and groves dotted the city. The Roman calendar was structured around religious observances. Women, slaves, and children all participated in a range of religious activities. Some public rituals could be conducted only by women, and women formed what is perhaps Rome's most famous priesthood, the state-supported Vestals, who tended Rome's sacred hearth for centuries, until disbanded under Christian domination.

New input case for you: Her career started more than 20 years ago in a garage behind a Catholic Worker soup kitchen on skid row in Los Angeles. She lived on a $3-a-week stipend that she spent on pantyhose and bus fare. Her law practice grew to an organization that brought in millions of dollars of damages through its cases against L.A. slumlords, allowing poor families to set up college funds and buy homes. In all those years, she never lost a case. When she stepped down, she had time to notice what was happening to the field of poverty law. "I realized with a shock that the work had really disintegrated and we had lost a whole generation of public-interest lawyers," she said. "It had gone from being an economic sacrifice as it was in my day to an economic impossibility. ... The whole system has essentially collapsed." Mintie also started to ask questions about the medical field. Almost every person who walks into a free medical clinic, she said, faces some legal problem such as an eviction or the loss of Social Security benefits. And many of her clients had medical problems from living in slum housing such as cockroaches lodged in ear canals and rat bite fever, a nonfatal malady that particularly affects children. Mintie noticed that health-care professionals were graduating with staggering debts and also couldn't afford to work with the poor. Her work was noticed by Oprah Winfrey, who invited her on the TV show March 26, 2001. Mintie received a $100,000 "Use Your Life Award" from Oprah's Angel Network, a nonprofit organization that awards money to those who help others. Mintie said that all of the money has gone to her recipients -- none was spent on overhead. She will be out of funds by spring. She is trying to get religious organizations to sponsor recipients. It is a secular organization, but one that grew out of Mintie's religious convictions. <sep>Whose career started more than 20 years ago in a garage behind a Catholic Worker soup kitchen?<sep>The Korean worker

I had drunk too much, I confess, though we all had. Somehow, Tasha and I began to argue the worth of Solevgrad jazz, as inconsequential a topic as I can imagine. She had studied it in school, so she thought herself as an expert. I once had a neighbor who played it constantly, loudly, and badly, so I thought I knew it better. Malaquez tried to mediate, but I saw him as siding with Tasha. So, I think, did she. The subject shifted from music to Tasha's obsession with fame, undoubtedly by a leap that I made. She had no choice but to follow. (I do not remember any of this well, just now, nor do I care to. Those who are truly curious may look at the last act of "Captured Moments.") I remember suggesting, with characteristic tact, that she add Emil to her small list of major accomplishments. Malaquez glanced away, embarrassed. Tasha looked at me as if to say, "I will." She said, "I feel sorry for you, Nardo. I'll see Emil home." "Yes," I said, "Do that," and did not care what she did, or why. Emil asked, "You're all right?" I muttered something he must have interpreted as assent. They both walked up to Emil's home while I watched the scarlet moonlight ripple on distant waves. Disgusted with Tasha but more disgusted with myself, I finally realized she would not return that night and went into The Sleeping Flamingo to drink myself to sleep. She had not come home when I woke in mid-morning. <sep>Why did Nardo think himself an expert in Solevgard jazz?<sep>He once had a neighbor who played it constantly, loudly, and badly

A proposal to develop a horse-drawn tram (linking the city's railway termini) was made by American George Francis Train in the 1860s, and implemented in 1872 by the Cork Tramway Company. However, the company ceased trading in 1875 after Cork Corporation refused permission to extend the line, mainly because of objections from cab operators to the type of tracks which – although they were laid to the Irish national railway gauge of 5 ft 3in – protruded from the road surface.[citation needed]

Input: New Balance maintains a manufacturing presence in the United States, as well as in the United Kingdom for the European market, where they produce some of their most popular models such as the 990 model--in contrast to its competitors, which often manufacture exclusively outside the USA and Europe. As a result, New Balance shoes tend to be more expensive than those of many other manufacturers. To offset this pricing difference, New Balance claims to differentiate their products with technical features, such as blended gel inserts, heel counters and a greater selection of sizes, particularly for very narrow and/or very wide widths. The company has made total profits of approximately $69 billion since 1992. They are the second most-renown American sporting company, after Nike.

Q: He had an interview
Tom Cruise has returned to The Oprah Winfrey Show and talked about his love for Katie Holmes, but this time he was denying marital problems instead of jumping on the couch to prove his passion for the young actress. "That's laughable to me," Cruise said when Winfrey told him there was speculation that "what you and Katie have is not real". It was the first time Cruise appeared on the show since his couch-hopping stunt three years ago drew a flood of satire and ridicule. "It was something that I just felt that way, and I feel that way about her. That's just how I felt," he said in the interview, which aired on Friday in the US.

PROBLEM: (CNN) -- Declaring 2010 "The best year in safety performance in our company's history," Transocean Ltd., owner of the Gulf of Mexico oil rig that exploded, killing 11 workers, has awarded its top executives hefty bonuses and raises, according to a recent filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. That includes a $200,000 salary increase for Transocean president and chief executive officer Steven L. Newman, whose base salary will increase from $900,000 to $1.1 million, according to the SEC report. Newman's bonus was $374,062, the report states. Newman also has a $5.4 million long-term compensation package the company awarded him upon his appointment as CEO in March 2010, according to the SEC filing. The latest cash awards are based in part on the company's "performance under safety," the Transocean filing states. "Notwithstanding the tragic loss of life in the Gulf of Mexico, we achieved an exemplary statistical safety record as measured by our total recordable incident rate and total potential severity rate," the SEC statement reads. "As measured by these standards, we recorded the best year in safety performance in our Company's history." The company called that record "a reflection on our commitment to achieving an incident-free environment, all the time, everywhere," the SEC filing states. The company did not respond to an e-mail from CNN seeking comment. The April 20, 2010, explosion on the Deepwater Horizon rig injured 17 workers and killed 11 others, including nine Transocean employees, according to the SEC filing. It has been called the worst spill in U.S. history. The well was capped three months later, but not before millions of barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf. In January, President Barack Obama's National Commission on the BP Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling released a report that spread blame for the accident among Transocean, BP -- which leased the rig -- and Halliburton, which installed the rig's cement casing. <sep>List some of the effects of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon explosion<sep>President Obama's National Commission reporting the blame was solely on Transocean Ltd

PROBLEM: In her storage room-turned-office, Jennifer Baum works under an expanding leak that is causing the ceiling to turn brown and crumble. Mold grows in the buckets positioned to catch the water. She shrugs it off. Outside her office she has taped up a clear plastic suit, and a sign that reads, "All employees must don protective gear before coming in." Such is life in limbo. Nearly a year after Sept. 11, the Legal Aid Society-the lawyers for New York's poor and homeless-remains, well, homeless. The nonprofit has been barred from returning to its 90 Church St. headquarters, across from the World Trade Center site, because of environmental concerns. Legal Aid has uncomfortable company. More than 11,500 New Yorkers continue to work out of temporary space, according to analysis by Manhattan-based real estate brokerage TenantWise.com Inc. and Crain's New York Business. That's 8% of the 137,000 workers who lost their offices or access to them when the Twin Towers collapsed. Legal Aid's 450 displaced attorneys and staffers have spent the past 12 months spread among previously unused spaces-some unused for good reason-in the nonprofit's other offices. It could be another year and a half before they return to their old desks. They have contended with difficult working conditions as demand for Legal Aid's services is on the rise because of Sept. 11 and the deteriorating economy. The civil division is spread among a few boroughs. Their papers and documents, some 20,000 boxes worth, are stuck in a storage facility in Linden, N.J. "I am counting the days till we can have all the parts back in one place," says Steven Banks, Legal Aid's associate attorney in chief. In the memories of the exiled workers, the old office has achieved mythical proportions. They say the wood paneling and rugs had the ability to cool emotions and lift spirits. The Legal Aid office on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights, where 65 displaced workers have cobbled together space amid the faded and scratched walls, looks more like a bargain basement. <sep>It could be another year and a half before the workers of which organization return to their old desks?<sep>Band Aid Society

Q: Before Katie Ledecky, 19, was racing her way to Olympic glory, she was just a regular kid who looked up to another Olympic legend: Michael Phelps.
ESPN reporter Darren Rovell shared a photo on Twitter, courtesy of the Ledecky family, showing an adorable, bright-eyed Katie Ledecky getting an autograph from Michael Phelps.

Little did she know that in six short years she would be a fellow Olympian, and gold medal winner, with Phelps at the 2012 Olympic Games in London, England.
RELATED: American swimmer Katie Ledecky shatters world record to bring home the Olympic gold
This isn’t the first photo that Rovell has shared of a younger Ledecky. In an earlier tweet, he shared a photo of two-time Olympic gold medal winner Michael Jordan holding Ledecky as a toddler, with the caption, “Michael Jordan got 2 gold medals. The little girl he’s holding now has 3. It’s Katie Ledecky.”

She has always enjoyed being in the company of champions, and now she is a champion, too.
Ledecky is set to swim again on Thursday, Aug. 11, in a challenge to win her fourth gold medal. ||||| Photo credit: Michael Sohn/AP Images
Another two golds last night for Michael Phelps, the most decorated American Olympian ever: That makes 21 gold medals in his career, 25 medals overall, and with his win in the 200m butterfly—a particularly personal win, given his loss in that event four years ago—Phelps now has 12 individual wins to bring him into a tie with the late, great Leonidas of Rhodes.
Olympic historian Bill Mallon pulled out this beauty of a factoid, and there’s no reason to doubt it: the IOC is good at keeping stats and the Classical and Hellenistic-era Greeks weren’t bad either. Leonidas of Rhodes was a sprinter, apparently one of the best who ever lived, according to the mostly complete Olympic records first compiled by Hippias of Elas and updated and revised by later scholars.
The starting line at the ancient stadium, Olympia, Greece. Photo credit: Panagiotis Milonas/Getty Images
At the 154th Olympiad, held in 164 BCE, Leonidas completed the “triple,” winning the stadion sprint (about 200 meters*), the diaulos (twice the length of the stadion), and the hoplitodromos, a diaulos with the runners wearing a helmet and greaves and carrying a shield, the armor weighing more than 50 pounds.

* The stadion was not a fixed length, but instead varied based on the length of the stadium was being used. At Olympia, that was 192.27 meters. The dialous was simply “there and back.”
Then Leonidas won the triple at the next three Olympic Games, in 160 BCE, 156 BCE, and 152 BCE. As Pausanias tells us, Leonidas, “the most famous runner...maintained his speed at its prime for four Olympiads, and won twelve victories for running.”
Leonidas must have been a true superstar in the eastern Mediterranean; the events in which he competed and won were among the most popular and most important an the ancient Olympics. The stadion traditionally opened each games, and the hoplitodromos closed them. Here, please enjoy(?) members of the 2010 Apollon Boedromia Symposium in Melbourne, Australia, reenacting the hoplitodromos. And yes, for maximum authenticity, they are nude.
The Encyclopedia of the Modern Olympic Movement confirms that Leonidas’s 12 wins (he was awarded wreaths, not medals), is an Olympic record, ancient or modern. Well, it was his Olympic record for a couple millennia-plus. Michael Phelps has tied him, and has two more chances to surpass him: the 200m individual medley on Thursday, and the 100m butterfly on Friday.
Still, I’d like to see Phelps do this while wearing armor.

A: | Michael Phelps will try to break an ancient Olympic record this week. The swimmer has won 21 Olympic gold medals, 12 of them in individual events—and those dozen personal medals mean Phelps has tied an Olympic record that had been held for 2,168 years, Deadspin reports. Olympic historian Bill Mallon was first to report that Phelps had tied the record held by Leonidas of Rhodes, a sprinter who won multiple events at the 154th Olympiad in 164 BCE, and then at the next three Games, ultimately winning 12 individual titles. But, as Deadspin notes, he got wreaths instead of medals to mark his victories. Phelps could potentially overtake Leonidas: He competes in the 200m individual medley Thursday and the 100m butterfly Friday.

The older brother of Michael Jackson filed a name change petition on Tuesday in Los Angeles, stating the switch was for "artistic reasons."
The filing doesn't elaborate, but Jackson's friend Steve Dennis, who was speaking on the singer's behalf, said it's not unheard of for artists to change their names. "Phonetically, it changes nothing," he said.
"It is something he has chosen to do, and it's fair to say that you cannot blame this one on the boogie, you've got to blame it on the sunshine," Dennis said, in a play on the Jackson 5 disco hit, "Blame it on the Boogie."
Jackson has been touring with his brothers in recent months and has been promoting his book about his superstar brother titled "You Are Not Alone."
A hearing on whether Jackson will become Jacksun is scheduled for Feb. 22 in Los Angeles. ||||| Jermaine Jackson I'm CHANGING My Last Name

| Jermaine Jackson is following in the footsteps of The Artist Formerly Known as Prince, Metta World Peace, and Chad Ochocinco. But unlike them, he's changing just one single letter of his name: He filed a legal request to become Jermaine Jacksun, TMZ reports. No word from Jackson—a judge hasn't approved the request yet, so that's still his last name for the time being—on the reason for the bizarre move, but the documents say the change is for "artistic reasons." "It is something he has chosen to do, and it's fair to say that you cannot blame this one on the boogie, you've got to blame it on the sunshine," a friend explains to the AP, referencing Jackson 5 hit "Blame it on the Boogie." |

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
question:
Where was Jesus placed in terms of the three crosses?, Context: According to the canonical gospels, Jesus, whom Christians believe to be the Son of God as well as the Messiah (Christ), was arrested, tried, and sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged, and finally crucified by the Romans. Jesus was stripped of his clothing and offered wine mixed with gall to drink, before being crucified. He was then hung for six hours (according to Mark's Gospel) between two convicted thieves. During this time, the soldiers affixed a sign to the top of the cross stating "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" in three languages. They then divided his garments among them, but cast lots for his seamless robe. After Jesus' death they pierced his side with a spear to be certain that he had died. The Bible records seven statements that Jesus made while he was on the cross, as well as several supernatural events that occurred.
answer:
between two convicted thieves
question:
What passed through the village that experienced a calamity in the 17th century?, Context: Glaciers end in ice caves (the Rhone Glacier), by trailing into a lake or river, or by shedding snowmelt on a meadow. Sometimes a piece of glacier will detach or break resulting in flooding, property damage and loss of life. In the 17th century about 2500 people were killed by an avalanche in a village on the French-Italian border; in the 19th century 120 homes in a village near Zermatt were destroyed by an avalanche.
answer:
the French-Italian border
question:
What was the KPA's rapid withdrawl looked at as being?, Context: On 30 September, Zhou Enlai warned the United States that China was prepared to intervene in Korea if the United States crossed the 38th parallel. Zhou attempted to advise North Korean commanders on how to conduct a general withdrawal by using the same tactics which had allowed Chinese communist forces to successfully escape Chiang Kai-shek's Encirclement Campaigns in the 1930s, but by some accounts North Korean commanders did not utilize these tactics effectively. Historian Bruce Cumings argues, however, the KPA's rapid withdrawal was strategic, with troops melting into the mountains from where they could launch guerrilla raids on the UN forces spread out on the coasts.

On the eve of his 104th birthday on 4 April, Exit International's oldest Member, Emeritus Professor David Goodall (Wikipedia), announced his intention to attend the Life Circle service in Basel, Switzerland for an assisted death.Professor David Goodall, Australia's Oldest Working ScientistWith an Exit Member number of #1848, David Goodall has been a member of Exit longer than most people.Well organised to the end, he thought he had his plans in place. However, it seems that David’s advanced age has finally caught up with him.At work in the 1950s.Very recently he has realised that things were not going to be as easy as he anticipated. He is now left with little alternative other than to travel to Switzerland.With the cooperation of the good people at Life Circle in Basel, Exit has been able to organise a fast-track for David.He will be accompanied by his long-time friend and Exit's West Australian Coordinator, Carol O’Neil.Carol and David plan to leave Perth for Basel in early May.Carol & David at an Exit workshop in 2016A pathetic state of affairs? You bet!Especially given West Australia is currently considering the introduction of a voluntary euthanasia law; a law which the West Australian Premier Mark McGowan has said would not help a person like David Goodall who is not sick Elder abuse? Quite possibly.Age discrimination? Absolutely.Born in London in 1914, Professor Goodall is an eminent botanist and ecologist. A graduate of Imperial College of Science and Technology (University of London) where he received his PhD in 1941, David came to Australia in 1948 to take up a lecturing position at the University of Melbourne .David was awarded a Doctor of Science from Melbourne University as well as an honorary doctorate from the Università degli Studí di Trieste in Italy. He held a range of academic positions in the UK, US and Australia (CSIRO ) before retiring in 1979.After his retirement, he edited the 30 volume series of Ecosystems of the World with over 500 authors.David with his edited series: Ecosystems of the WorldAt 103, David travelled by gyrocopter to the remote Kimberley station (Kachana) near to Kununurra to visit the eco sustained cattle station of Chris and Jacqueline Henggeler.At Kachana, David was back 'in the field' courtesy of the station's tractor service.David will be remembered for the burst of media in 2016 that followed the decision by Edith Cowan University to take away his office.The University argued the working scientist was a safety risk to himself and others.In response to this unwelcome age discrimination, David went public and the University acquiesced, eventually providing him with an alternative, ground floor office closer to home.Having celebrated his 104th birthday in early April, David has decided wow is the time to go. Indeed, if his plans had gone accordingly, this birthday would not have happened and he would not be in the dilemma he now finds himself.David on his 104th Birthday (4 April 2018, in Perth). His birthday cake was a cheesecake, his favourite.It is just crazy that at the very time the West Australian Parliament has a committee inquiry to determine if their State should pass a voluntary euthanasia/ assisted suicide law, that one of its oldest and prominent citizens should be forced to travel to the other side of the world to die with dignity.David receiving his Order of Australia in 2016As if to add insult to injury, the West Australian Premier Mark McGowan has now pre-empted the Committee’s findings stating that the WA Parliament will only consider a law for the terminally ill.Of course the Premier has added that he feels ‘sympathy’ for David’s plight.The calculated politics of the Mr McGowan’s remarks are breath-taking, although hardly surprising since Mr McGowan’s reported mentor is Kim Beazley.Be that as it may, rarely in living memory can one recall a senior citizen being treated with such disdain and even contempt by a Premier of the day.The situation of Professor Goodall drives home the absolute limited value of an end of life law that is based solely upon a person’s health status.As Dr Philip Nitschke argued in his presentation to the WA Parliamentary Committee in April, it is totally unacceptable for a law to discriminate between the sick and everyone else.Forcing the ‘well’ elderly to travel overseas is exporting a problem, rather than addressing a growing social need. Shame!David Goodall is a life-long economy class flier.To do otherwise offends his egalitarian sensibility.It is a veryfrom Perth Australia to Basel Switzerland at any age, especially104!Philip says he doesn't want the stress of the flight to kill him.Exit will be reporting on David's journey to Switzerland in the coming days and weeks.Thank you in advance for your support. ||||| Academic David Goodall has confirmed he plans to fly to Europe this week to end his life, but he resents the fact that he has been left with no other choice.
After repeated failed attempts at suicide over the past 12 months, the 104-year-old has made the decision to travel to Switzerland, where voluntary assisted dying is legal.
Dr Goodall will fly to Bordeaux on Wednesday to visit family before making his final journey to the Swiss city of Basel, where an end of life clinic has approved his application to die through voluntary euthanasia.
He will be accompanied by a representative from euthanasia advocacy group Exit International, which has raised almost $20,000 to cover his travel costs.
“I don’t want to go to Switzerland, though it’s a nice country,” Dr Goodall said.
“But I have to do that in order to get the opportunity of suicide which the Australian system does not permit.
“I feel very resentful.”
Dr Goodall made international headlines in 2016 when, at the age of 102, the university where he served as an honorary research associate ordered he vacate his office because he was a safety risk to himself.
He challenged the decision and, after much public backlash, it was reversed.
Drawn-out goodbye an ‘unsatisfactory’ end
In recent years the renowned academic’s physical condition has continued to deteriorate, along with his quality of life.
He said he appreciated the public’s interest in his plight and hoped it would spark more discussion about the issue of voluntary euthanasia.
“I would like them to understand it,” he said.
“I am 104 years old so I haven’t got much time left anyway.
“I might as well not have (my health) getting worse and worse, making me unhappy as it goes.”
Dr Goodall said he had the support of his family, with whom he’d had frank conversations about his decision.
“I’m saying farewell all the time,” he said.
“They realise how unsatisfactory my life here is, unsatisfactory in almost every respect. The sooner it comes to an end the better.”
Dr Goodall has been a member of Exit International for 20 years.
On his 104th birthday last month, he used the occasion to declare he would spend the rest of his days campaigning for voluntary assisted dying to be legalised in Western Australia.
“My feeling is that an old person like myself should have full citizenship rights including the right of assisted suicide,” Dr Goodall said.
“Once one is past the stage of middle life, one has paid back to society the debts that have been paid out.
“One should be free to use the rest of his life as one chooses.
“If one chooses to kill oneself then that’s fair enough. I don’t think anyone else should interfere.”

-ABC ||||| Academic David Goodall turns 104 and his birthday wish is to die in peace
Updated
David Goodall turns 104 today. But truth be told, he takes no pleasure in getting older.
If he could be granted one birthday wish, it would be to die.
"I greatly regret having reached that age," Dr Goodall said.
"I would much prefer to be 20 or 30 years younger."
Dr Goodall made international headlines in 2016 when, at the age of 102, the university where he served as an honorary research associate ordered he vacate his office because he was a safety risk to himself.
He challenged the decision and, after much public backlash, it was reversed.
In recent years the renowned academic's physical condition has continued to deteriorate and so too has his quality of life.
He played tennis until the age of 90, when he could no longer keep up.
He performed with an amateur theatre group in Perth but was forced to give it away when his failing eyesight prevented him from driving himself to night-time rehearsals.
His poor vision also stops him from doing much of his academic work nowadays as he can't read his emails.
Most of his friends have died.
'I called out but no-one could hear me'
Dr Goodall was still using public transport to commute to and from his university office up until a couple of months ago when he had a fall in his one-bedroom apartment.
"I fell back-first into the corner of the flat and there was nothing that I could hold on to, so I just teetered around on the floor," he said.
"I called out but no-one could hear me."
He stayed on the floor for two days until he was found by his cleaner and taken to hospital, where doctors patched him up and forbade him from taking public transport or even crossing the road by himself.
"It upset me greatly being restricted in that way, being constrained," he said.
"There's certainly a lack of respect, there's no respect at all."
This week Dr Goodall celebrated his 104th birthday with family and friends at his daughter's home.
The ABC was invited along to capture the festivities.
But Dr Goodall wanted to use the opportunity to talk about something more important to him than his age.
A campaign of life and death
He's been a member of advocacy group, Exit International, for 20 years and plans to spend the rest of his days campaigning for voluntary euthanasia to be legalised in Western Australia.
"My feeling is that an old person like myself should have full citizenship rights including the right of assisted suicide," Dr Goodall said.
"Once one is past the stage of middle life, one has paid back to society the debts that have been paid out.
"One should be free to use the rest of his life as one chooses.
"If one chooses to kill oneself then that's fair enough. I don't think anyone else should interfere."
Coronial data has found that at least one West Australian with a terminal or debilitating disease is dying by suicide each fortnight.
More than half of the suicides are by people aged over 60, most of them men.
A WA Parliamentary Committee is currently examining the matter and is due to report back by August.
Late last year Victoria became the first Australian state to legalise voluntary assisted dying.
But under that legislation, Dr Goodall wouldn't be eligible, because he's not suffering from a terminal illness and despite being frail and almost blind, his health is in fact quite good.
'He has no control over his life'
Speaking matter-of-factly on the topic, Dr Goodall said he was neither fearful nor saddened about the prospect of his death.
"Why should it make me sad?" he asked.
"I don't regard it as grim, I regard it as natural.
"One lives some decades and then one dies. It's not sad. What is sad is if one is prevented."
Dr Goodall's daughter, Karen Goodall-Smith, is a clinical psychologist who has had frank discussions with her father about life and death.
"I am close to David and don't want this," Ms Goodall-Smith said.
"But also understand that there is little dignity and self-respect being so dependent on others.
"The doors have been gradually closing to him because of his physical wellbeing.
"He is stuck, he has no control over his life, over his body, over his eyesight.
"He's lived a really good 104 years. Whatever happens, whatever choices are made, they're up to him."
Ms Goodall-Smith, her brother and her son are now providing around the clock care to Dr Goodall in the hope that he won't have to move into a nursing home.
When asked if he'd had a happy birthday, Dr Goodall responded succinctly.
"No," he said. "I'm not happy. I want to die."

A: | Australia's oldest scientist recently celebrated his 104th birthday, but it wasn't a joyous occasion. "I greatly regret having reached that age," David Goodall told ABC Australia in early April. "I'm not happy. I want to die." And that's exactly what Goodall, an esteemed ecologist, intends to do this month, with plans in the works to travel from Perth to a clinic in Basel, Switzerland, where staff there will help him end his life, the Guardian reports. Although Goodall doesn't have a terminal illness—a requirement for euthanasia in Victoria, the only state in Australia where assisted suicide will be legal as of June 2019—he says his quality of life has gone downhill and he doesn't want to prolong things. Switzerland is one of the few places in the world where, even though assisted suicide hasn't technically been legalized, it's not against Swiss law in "some circumstances," per the Washington Post. Goodall was in good shape into his 90s, when his vision started to fail. In 2016, Edith Cowan University, where he's an honorary research assistant, deemed him "unfit" to be on campus. Exit International, a euthanasia advocacy nonprofit that's helping organize his trip, has set up a GoFundMe page, calling the fact that he has to travel across the world to carry out his wishes a "pathetic state of affairs." "A peaceful, dignified death is the entitlement of all who want it," the group says in its latest newsletter. "And a person should not be forced to leave home to achieve it." Forbes notes Goodall—who tells the New Daily he feels "resentful" he has to go to Switzerland—has been an Exit International member for 20 years and "considering the next gradation for his own personal collection of carbon-based, life-bearing molecules for some time. Now, he's ready." (Check out this euthanasia pod.) |

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.
Solution: Russian Revolution
Why? This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
What is a legal doctrine that obligates courts to follow historical cases when making a ruling on a similar case, Context: Federal law originates with the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to enact statutes for certain limited purposes like regulating interstate commerce. The United States Code is the official compilation and codification of the general and permanent federal statutes. Many statutes give executive branch agencies the power to create regulations, which are published in the Federal Register and codified into the Code of Federal Regulations. Regulations generally also carry the force of law under the Chevron doctrine. Many lawsuits turn on the meaning of a federal statute or regulation, and judicial interpretations of such meaning carry legal force under the principle of stare decisis.

[Q]: Which was painted later, Amorpha-Fugue a deux couleurs or Contrasts of Forms?, Context: The most extreme forms of Cubism were not those practiced by Picasso and Braque, who resisted total abstraction. Other Cubists, by contrast, especially František Kupka, and those considered Orphists by Apollinaire (Delaunay, Léger, Picabia and Duchamp), accepted abstraction by removing visible subject matter entirely. Kupka’s two entries at the 1912 Salon d'Automne, Amorpha-Fugue à deux couleurs and Amorpha chromatique chaude, were highly abstract (or nonrepresentational) and metaphysical in orientation. Both Duchamp in 1912 and Picabia from 1912 to 1914 developed an expressive and allusive abstraction dedicated to complex emotional and sexual themes. Beginning in 1912 Delaunay painted a series of paintings entitled Simultaneous Windows, followed by a series entitled Formes Circulaires, in which he combined planar structures with bright prismatic hues; based on the optical characteristics of juxtaposed colors his departure from reality in the depiction of imagery was quasi-complete. In 1913–14 Léger produced a series entitled Contrasts of Forms, giving a similar stress to color, line and form. His Cubism, despite its abstract qualities, was associated with themes of mechanization and modern life. Apollinaire supported these early developments of abstract Cubism in Les Peintres cubistes (1913), writing of a new "pure" painting in which the subject was vacated. But in spite of his use of the term Orphism these works were so different that they defy attempts to place them in a single category.
[A]: Contrasts of Forms
[Q]: Which trade route connected Northern Europe and Northwestern Russia with the Capsian Sea?, Context: The new Kievan state prospered due to its abundant supply of furs, beeswax, honey, and slaves for export, and because it controlled three main trade routes of Eastern Europe. In the north, Novgorod served as a commercial link between the Baltic Sea and the Volga trade route to the lands of the Volga Bulgars, the Khazars, and across the Caspian Sea as far as Baghdad, providing access to markets and products from Central Asia and the Middle East. Trade from the Baltic also moved south on a network of rivers and short portages along the Dnieper known as the "route from the Varangians to the Greeks," continuing to the Black Sea and on to Constantinople. Kiev was a central outpost along the Dnieper route and a hub with the east-west overland trade route between the Khazars and the Germanic lands of Central Europe. These commercial connections enriched Rus' merchants and princes, funding military forces and the construction of churches, palaces, fortifications, and further towns. Demand for luxury goods fostered production of expensive jewelry and religious wares, allowing their export, and an advanced credit and money-lending system may have also been in place.
[A]: Volga trade route
[Q]: Who was the victor?, Context: By August, the KPA had pushed back the ROK Army and the Eighth United States Army to the vicinity of Pusan in southeast Korea. In their southward advance, the KPA purged the Republic of Korea's intelligentsia by killing civil servants and intellectuals. On 20 August, General MacArthur warned North Korean leader Kim Il-sung that he was responsible for the KPA's atrocities. By September, the UN Command controlled the Pusan perimeter, enclosing about 10% of Korea, in a line partially defined by the Nakdong River.

You will be given a passage, and your task is to generate a Yes/No question that is answerable based on the given passage.
Mal de debarquement (or mal de débarquement) syndrome (MdDS, or common name disembarkment syndrome) is a neurological condition usually occurring after a cruise, aircraft flight, or other sustained motion event. The phrase ``mal de débarquement'' is French and translates to ``illness of disembarkation''. MdDS is typically diagnosed by a neurologist or an ear nose & throat specialist when a person reports a persistent rocking, swaying, or bobbing feeling (though they are not necessarily rocking). This usually follows a cruise or other motion experience. Because most vestibular testing proves to be negative, doctors may be baffled as they attempt to diagnose the syndrome. A major diagnostic indicator is that most patients feel better while driving or riding in a car, i.e.: while in passive motion. MdDS is unexplained by structural brain or inner ear pathology and most often corresponds with a motion trigger, although it can occur spontaneously. This differs from the very common condition of ``land sickness'' that most people feel for a short time after a motion event such as a boat cruise, aircraft ride, or even a treadmill routine which may only last minutes to a few hours.

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>The force magnets put on certain materials is called what?<sep>Magnets do not put force on certain materials
