In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
What distinct theme do metaphors contain from a piece of writing or conversation?, 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.

What did the land bridge between the Americas cause to change?, Context: South America became linked to North America through the Isthmus of Panama during the Pliocene, bringing a nearly complete end to South America's distinctive marsupial faunas. The formation of the Isthmus had major consequences on global temperatures, since warm equatorial ocean currents were cut off and an Atlantic cooling cycle began, with cold Arctic and Antarctic waters dropping temperatures in the now-isolated Atlantic Ocean. Africa's collision with Europe formed the Mediterranean Sea, cutting off the remnants of the Tethys Ocean. Sea level changes exposed the land-bridge between Alaska and Asia. Near the end of the Pliocene, about 2.58 million years ago (the start of the Quaternary Period), the current ice age began. The polar regions have since undergone repeated cycles of glaciation and thaw, repeating every 40,000–100,000 years.

Which country was demonstrating the protests?, Context: Argentine activists told a news conference that they would not try to snuff out the torch's flame as demonstrators had in Paris and London. "I want to announce that we will not put out the Olympic torch," said pro-Tibet activist Jorge Carcavallo. "We'll be carrying out surprise actions throughout the city of Buenos Aires, but all of these will be peaceful." Among other activities, protesters organized an alternative march that went from the Obelisk to the city hall, featuring their own "Human Rights Torch." A giant banner reading "Free Tibet" was also displayed on the torch route. According to a representative from the NGO 'Human Rights Torch Relay', their objective was to "show the contradiction between the Olympic Games and the presence of widespread human rights violations in China"

The media is devouring details about The Governator this morning, the superhero purportedly being developed for television and comics by former California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and former Marvel head Stan Lee. The specifics of the project, first revealed in Entertainment Weekly, are cartoonish in the best (or, depending on one's taste, worst) sense of the word. There are colorful sidekicks, a cadre of villains called Gangsters Imposters Racketeers Liars & Irredeemable Ex-cons (i.e., G.I.R.L.I.E. Men), and, yes, an Arnold Cave, located beneath the fictionalized Schwarzenegger's Brentwood house.
So why are we skeptical? The magazine's April 1 newsstand date is the first major red flag. (The Hollywood Reporter's Scott Roxborough voiced similar concerns about the project being an April Fool's Day hoax, but also noted Schwarzenegger was scheduled to unveil a new TV property in Cannes next month before the Governator news broke.) Plus, we'd like to think we would have heard something in the kitchenette if one of our contributors was about to be the basis for a globetrotting superhero. But maybe that's just vanity.

Ray Gustini ||||| Arnold Schwarzenegger is returning to showbiz as a cartoon and comic-book character named The Governator, he tells Entertainment Weekly.
According to EW, the actor and two-term California governor is working together with comic book legend Stan Lee on an animated TV series and comic book that will mix the real life of the actor/politician with the superhuman exploits of the characters he’s played in films.
The news set off a flurry of online speculation that, given EW’s April 1. sale date, the story was an April Fool’s gag.
But Schwarzenegger had previously announced plans for a new television series, details of which he is to unveil at international TV market MIPTV next week.
“It takes my entire career, if its body building, if it’s acting, if its’ the governorship and combines it into one,” Schwarzenegger said in a video interview posted on EW’s site. “The Governator is designed to fight crime, to fight natural disasters…this guy will jump and solve the problems.”
Schwarzenegger said the cartoon was his plan B since the U.S. constitution does not allow him – a foreign-born American citizen – to run for President.
“Otherwise, I wouldn’t be standing here in a leather jacket, I’d be dressed up in a suit,” he said. Schwarzenegger added that he has not discussed The Governator cartoon with his wife, Maria Schriver. “I think it will be a big surprise for her,” he said.
The cartoon is still in development and won’t be finished until next year but Stan Lee revealed some details of the project. In the series, Schwarzenegger decides to become a crime fighter after leaving the governor’s office and, Batman-like, builds a Arnold Cave, a “secret high-tech crime-fighting center under his house in Brentwood,” according to Lee.
The series’ plot will see the Governator battling the evil organization Gangsters Imposters Racketeers Liars & Irredeemable Ex-cons (or G.I.R.L.I.E. Men) and, Lee claims, will include real-life people including Shriver and Schwarzenegger’s children, in its storylines. |||||
Output: | Spend a little time online today, and you’re sure to see lots of very excited posts about Arnold Schwarzenegger’s return to the world of showbiz as cartoon and comic book character “The Governator”—but it’s got to be an April Fool’s joke, right? The details, first reported in Entertainment Weekly, “are cartoonish in the best (or, depending on one's taste, worst) sense of the word,” writes Ray Gustini in the Atlantic. “There are colorful sidekicks, a cadre of villains called Gangsters Imposters Racketeers Liars & Irredeemable Ex-cons (ie, GIRLIE Men), and, yes, an Arnold Cave.” Plus, “the magazine's April 1 newsstand date is the first major red flag,” Gustini notes. In the Hollywood Reporter, Scott Roxborough expresses similar doubts, but notes that Schwarzenegger had already announced plans for a new TV series, and promised to unveil details next week. But some of the other details Roxborough notes do sound awfully jokey: Schwarzenegger says the project, a collaboration with Stan Lee, is his Plan B since he can’t legally run for president … and claims he didn’t tell Maria Shriver about it in advance. |

Ex Input:
The slated renovation of what will include work to some of the shopping centre?, Context: A large indoor shopping centre Hoog Catharijne (nl) is located between Utrecht Centraal railway station and the city centre. The corridors are treated as public places like streets, and the route between the station and the city centre is open all night. In 20 years from 2004, parts of Hoog Catharijne will be redeveloped as part of the renovation of the larger station area. Parts of the city's network of canals, which were filled to create the shopping center and central station area, will be recreated. The Jaarbeurs, one of the largest convention centres in the Netherlands, is located at the west side of the central railway station.
Ex Output:

Ex Input:
What did Darwin think about Wallace's theory, Context: Darwin was hard at work on his "big book" on Natural Selection, when on 18 June 1858 he received a parcel from Wallace, who stayed on the Maluku Islands (Ternate and Gilolo). It enclosed twenty pages describing an evolutionary mechanism, a response to Darwin's recent encouragement, with a request to send it on to Lyell if Darwin thought it worthwhile. The mechanism was similar to Darwin's own theory. Darwin wrote to Lyell that "your words have come true with a vengeance, ... forestalled" and he would "of course, at once write and offer to send [it] to any journal" that Wallace chose, adding that "all my originality, whatever it may amount to, will be smashed". Lyell and Hooker agreed that a joint publication putting together Wallace's pages with extracts from Darwin's 1844 Essay and his 1857 letter to Gray should be presented at the Linnean Society, and on 1 July 1858, the papers entitled On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties; and on the Perpetuation of Varieties and Species by Natural Means of Selection, by Wallace and Darwin respectively, were read out but drew little reaction. While Darwin considered Wallace's idea to be identical to his concept of natural selection, historians have pointed out differences. Darwin described natural selection as being analogous to the artificial selection practised by animal breeders, and emphasised competition between individuals; Wallace drew no comparison to selective breeding, and focused on ecological pressures that kept different varieties adapted to local conditions. Some historians have suggested that Wallace was actually discussing group selection rather than selection acting on individual variation.
Ex Output:
On the Tendency of Species to form Varieties
Ex Input:

The Puntland and Somaliland regions also each have one government-run TV channel, Puntland TV and Radio and Somaliland National TV, respectively.

The Venetian artist Jacopo de' Barbari, whom Durer had met in Venice, visited Nuremberg in 1500, and Durer said that he learned much about the new developments in perspective, anatomy, and proportion from him. De' Barbari was unwilling to explain everything he knew, so Durer began his own studies, which would become a lifelong preoccupation. A series of extant drawings show Durer's experiments in human proportion, leading to the famous engraving of Adam and Eve (1504), which shows his subtlety while using the burin in the texturing of flesh surfaces. This is the only existing engraving signed with his full name. Durer made large numbers of preparatory drawings, especially for his paintings and engravings, and many survive, most famously the Betende Hande (English: Praying Hands, c. 1508 Albertina, Vienna), a study for an apostle in the Heller altarpiece. He also continued to make images in watercolour and bodycolour (usually combined), including a number of still lifes of meadow sections or animals, including his Young Hare (1502) and the Great Piece of Turf (1503, both also Albertina). <sep>Which named works were made by Durer in Albertina, Vienna?<sep>Young Hare | Yes |

Q: The dermis is the inner layer of skin. The dermis has blood vessels and nerve endings. The nerve endings explain why your skin is sensitive. You can sense pain, pressure, and temperature. You cut your finger and it starts to bleed. What has happened? If your skin bleeds, it means you have cut the dermis layer and damaged blood vessels. The cut really hurts. It hurts because of the nerve endings in this skin layer. The dermis also contains hair follicles and two types of glands. Hair follicles are structures where hairs originate. Each hair grows out of a follicle. Hair passes up through the epidermis. It then extends above the skin surface. Oil glands produce an oily substance. The oil is secreted into hair follicles. <sep>Why do I feel pressure when someone pokes me?<sep>Because you have nerve endings

You will be given a passage, and your task is to generate a Yes/No question that is answerable based on the given passage.
To maintain lactation, a dairy cow must be bred and produce calves. Depending on market conditions, the cow may be bred with a ``dairy bull'' or a ``beef bull.'' Female calves (heifers) with dairy breeding may be kept as replacement cows for the dairy herd. If a replacement cow turns out to be a substandard producer of milk, she then goes to market and can be slaughtered for beef. Male calves can either be used later as a breeding bull or sold and used for veal or beef. Dairy farmers usually begin breeding or artificially inseminating heifers around 13 months of age. A cow's gestation period is approximately nine months. Newborn calves are removed from their mothers quickly, usually within three days, as the mother/calf bond intensifies over time and delayed separation can cause extreme stress on both cow and calf.
Output: | do cows have to be impregnated to produce milk? |

Einstein and Maric married in January 1903. In May 1904, the couple's first son, Hans Albert Einstein, was born in Bern, Switzerland. Their second son, Eduard, was born in Zurich in July 1910. In 1914, the couple separated; Einstein moved to Berlin and his wife remained in Zurich with their sons. They divorced on 14 February 1919, having lived apart for five years. Eduard, whom his father called "Tete" (for petit), had a breakdown at about age 20 and was diagnosed with schizophrenia. His mother cared for him and he was also committed to asylums for several periods, including full-time after her death. The marriage with Maric does not seem to have been very happy. In letters revealed in 2015, Einstein wrote to his early love, Marie Winteler, about his marriage and his still strong feelings for Marie. In 1910 he wrote to her that "I think of you in heartfelt love every spare minute and am so unhappy as only a man can be" while his wife was pregnant with their second child. Einstein spoke about a "misguided love" and a "missed life" regarding his love for Marie. Einstein married Elsa Lowenthal on 2 June 1919, after having had a relationship with her since 1912. She was a first cousin maternally and a second cousin paternally. In 1933, they emigrated to the United States. In 1935, Elsa Einstein was diagnosed with heart and kidney problems; she died in December 1936. <sep>How much time passed, after Albert Einstein's father divorced his mother, that he re-married?<sep>About four months had passed

(CNN) -- Sevilla have sacked coach Manolo Jimenez after their disappointing home draw to bottom-club Xerez on Tuesday extended the club's winless run to seven games. Despite lying fifth in the Spanish Primera Liga table, Sevilla were knocked out of the lucrative European Champions League by Russian side CSKA Moscow last week. Jimenez had also secured a Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid but it wasn't enough to save the 46-year-old's job. The club's sporting director Ramon Rodriguez admitted the decision had been difficult but said he had "done what I had to." He told the club's official Web site: "It was an unavoidable situation and we had to find a solution, and the pain that it brings. "Tuesday was the end of the story but the decision comes from the image and dynamics of the team. Without doubt we are grateful to Manolo. He is an excellent professional, he has made all this possible and impossible. However it is obvious that he could not get a response out of the team. "Fortunately we believe that there is time. The growth and the ambition of the club is shown in the change of the manager. We are fighting for important things." Xerez's injury-time equaliser on Tuesday meant Sevilla's last league success was against Real Mallorca back in February. Ironically, it is Mallorca who occupy the much-coveted fourth spot in the table that guarantees Champions League football next season. Jimenez took charge in October 2007 when former coach Juande Ramos left to take over at English Premier League team Tottenham. <sep>What was Sevilla's last league success, and where does that team now rank in the Champions League football table?<sep>Real Mallorca's Team- 6th

(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. CNN: Tell me more about your new character, Spero Lucas. <sep>Spero Lucas is a character in what novel?<sep>The Long Shot

Shia LaBeouf Arrested ... Booked for Public Intoxication
EXCLUSIVE
Shia LaBeouf was arrested in Austin, Texas Thursday ... and witnesses say the actor was blitzed, out of control and disobeyed police.
Shia was taken to the Travis County Jail and booked for misdemeanor public intoxication.
It happened at around 7:45 PM CT outside a bar on 6th Street. A witness says Shia was either extremely drunk or high on drugs when he ran down the street and jaywalked in front of police. They warned him not to do it but he continued, acting bizarrely.
Cops subdued him and put him in cuffs.
Another witness tells us, before the arrest Shia and a woman tried walking into a bar but they were denied because they were too intoxicated. Shia began swearing up a storm and tried forcing himself into the bar but was blocked. Shia and the woman left and began walking.
Shia, who's been to rehab, has been dogged by substance abuse problems. He had a similar situation in NYC last year, where he was arrested after acting crazy at a Broadway play.
He's in town for the Austin City Limits music festival. ||||| The actor was arrested shortly after 7:30 p.m. on Friday.
Shia LaBeouf was arrested in Austin on Friday night, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
Lieutenant Ryan Moon with the Austin Police Department told THR that the 29-year-old LaBeouf was arrested shortly after 7:30 p.m. for public intoxication. He was later released, according to Travis County public records.
He was first contacted by authorities in the street near the intersection of Sixth and San Jacinto and arrested on a sidewalk nearby.
The actor is in town for the Austin City Limits music festival, TMZ reported.
A rep for LaBeouf did not immediately respond to The Hollywood Reporter's request for comment.

Witnesses tell TMZ that LaBeouf, who is in the Texas capital for the Austin City Limits music festival, appeared to be completely wasted on alcohol or drugs at around 7:30pm when he kept jaywalking in front of police after they had ordered him not to. Another witness says LaBeouf and a female companion had been refused entry to a bar just before the arrest because they were too drunk. In a press release, Austin police confirmed the actor had been arrested and said no more details would be released due to pending adjudication. (In June, LaBeouf needed 20 stitches after a head-through-window stunt went wrong on the set of American Honey.) |

What a time of it Dawson's Landing was having! All its life it had been asleep, but now it hardly got a chance for a nod, so swiftly did big events and crashing surprises come along in one another's wake: Friday morning, first glimpse of Real Nobility, also grand reception at Aunt Patsy Cooper's, also great robber raid; Friday evening, dramatic kicking of the heir of the chief citizen in presence of four hundred people; Saturday morning, emergence as practicing lawyer of the long-submerged Pudd'nhead Wilson; Saturday night, duel between chief citizen and titled stranger.

Input: Washington (CNN) -- After months of criss-crossing the country and trying to woo potential supporters in early voting states, seven Republicans hoping to capture their party's presidential nomination will meet this month for the first New Hampshire debate of the 2012 election.
Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann, businessman Herman Cain, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Texas Rep. Ron Paul, former Minnesota Gov. Tim Pawlenty, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum will participate in the June 13 debate on the campus of Saint Anselm College.
This is the first time that Bachmann, Gingrich and Romney will appear in a 2012 presidential debate. The event is being sponsored by CNN, WMUR and the New Hampshire Union Leader. CNN Chief National Correspondent/Anchor John King will moderate the debate with journalists from WMUR and the Union Leader participating in the questioning.
The debate takes place eight months before the New Hampshire primary, a critical contest on the road to the Republican presidential nomination. The debate will air live from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. ET in New Hampshire and across the country.
The three media partners created objective criteria to determine who would participate in the debate. The participants needed to achieve a minimum threshold in either national or New Hampshire primary polls. The full criteria can be found here.
RELATED: Criteria for the New Hampshire Republican Presidential Debate
Invitations were extended to the seven Republicans who will appear on stage in New Hampshire as well as Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and businessman Donald Trump.
In recent weeks, Daniels, Huckabee and Trump all publicly said they would not seek the Republican presidential nomination. Giuliani declined the debate invitation, as did Huntsman.
Palin, whose campaign-style bus tour came to New Hampshire Thursday, told WMUR: "I don't think I'm going to be there. Thank you for asking though."
GOP 2012: Who's in, who's not
Several months before the last New Hampshire presidential primary, CNN, WMUR and the Union Leader hosted debates at Saint Anselm in 2007 -- events that helped introduce the Republican and Democratic candidates to voters in the state and around the nation. ||||| This article is from the archive of our partner .
The first Republican debate to have top-tier candidates is set for June 13 at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. Mitt Romney, Michele Bachmann, and Newt Gingrich will join the four lesser-known candidates who participated in last month's debate in South Carolina--Tim Pawlenty, Ron Paul, Rick Santorum, and Herman Cain. Sarah Palin, Jon Huntsman, and Rudy Giuliani all declined invitations to the event, hosted by CNN, WMUR, and the New Hampshire Union Leader.
The debate comes eight months before the New Hampshire primary. Debaters had to have at least 2 percent support in at least three major national polls in April or May, or average 2 percent in two New Hampshire polls. CNN's John King will moderate, and questions will be asked by local reporters.

Input: The .45 Colt cartridge, which is sometimes called .45 Long Colt, .45 LC, or 11.43×33mmR, is a handgun cartridge dating to 1872. It was originally a black-powder revolver round developed for the Colt Single Action Army revolver. This cartridge was adopted by the U.S. Army in 1873 and served as an official US military handgun cartridge for 14 years. While it is sometimes referred to as .45 Long Colt or .45 LC, to differentiate it from the very popular and ubiquitous .45 ACP, and historically, the shorter .45 S&W Schofield, it was only an unofficial designation by Army quartermasters. Current catalog listings of compatible handguns list the caliber as .45 LC and .45 Colt. Both the Schofield and the .45 Colt were used by the Army at the same period of time prior to the adoption of the ``M1887 Government'' version of the .45 Schofield cartridge
Output: | are 45 colt and 45 long colt the same? |

How would a team of dense droplets operate?, Context: Plastoglobuli were once thought to be free-floating in the stroma, but it is now thought that they are permanently attached either to a thylakoid or to another plastoglobulus attached to a thylakoid, a configuration that allows a plastoglobulus to exchange its contents with the thylakoid network. In normal green chloroplasts, the vast majority of plastoglobuli occur singularly, attached directly to their parent thylakoid. In old or stressed chloroplasts, plastoglobuli tend to occur in linked groups or chains, still always anchored to a thylakoid.
A: | in linked groups or chains |

The story of her selfless act has been one of the hottest topics on China’s microblogging site Weibo since yesterday, and reached more than 10 million views by this morning.
Thousands of Weibo users, moved by her great courage and love for her baby son, posted comments commemorating Qiu and wishing her son a long and healthy life on Qui’s Weibo page.
“After getting married, becoming a mother was her biggest wish,” Qiu’s husband, Zhang Qixuan, told the Zhengzhou Evening News.
“She chose to save our child; she understood that not everything in life can be perfect. And she said she had never regretted her decision.”

Qiu Yuanyuan’s husband, Zhang Qixuan
Qiu, who had hosted of a chess games show on Zhengzhou Television Station, learned she was pregnant in March.
However, her happiness was cut short after the results of a physical examination revealed that Qiu was suffering from a late-stage malignant tumour, the newspaper reported.
In order to prevent the baby being harmed by her chemotherapy, Qiu agreed to halt her treatment, which allowed the cancer to spread.
When Qiu’s condition deteriorated in September, she was admitted to hospital where her son, Niannian – then only seven months old – was delivered by Caesarean section. The boy weighed a little more than 1.5kg at the time of the birth, the report said.
Qiu then underwent an operation for the removal of the malignant tumour, but it came too late to save her.
Despite undergoing more than 20 days of chemotherapy, her doctors said the chances of her being cured were very low. They advised Qiu to halt her remaining therapy and return home to her baby son.
She died at her home on Wednesday evening, after her family held a feast to celebrate the baby’s 100th day since his birth – a traditional custom widely practiced by Chinese families.
The report said Qiu’s husband, who worked as a journalist at the same TV station as Qiu, was way from home when she died, and was unable to be with her at the time.
“Yuanyuan has passed away; the only thing I can do now is to take care our child and her family,” her husband was quoted as saying.
“I hope everyone can silently bless her and our child, and smile at life – just as Yuanyuan did.” ||||| The fate of a Chinese television presenter who died of cancer after refusing chemotherapy to save her unborn son sparked intense online debate Friday.
Qiu Yuanyuan died on Wednesday aged 26, 100 days after giving birth to her child -- a special occasion in Chinese culture.
More than 10 million netizens viewed her story on China's Twitter-like Sina Weibo on Friday, but many of those commenting questioned why she had sacrificed her life.
"I don't think it's good to give up on living, even if the mother's love is great," posted one netizen.
"It's not a beautiful thing if a child is born with no care and love from its natural mother."
Qiu, from the central province of Henan, was told she was pregnant in March, the website of the People's Daily newspaper said.

But her "hope turned to despair" soon after when she was diagnosed with a late-stage cancer of the womb, it went on.
Qiu decided to halt her treatment to prevent her baby being harmed, and the cancer soon spread.
As her condition worsened, she was admitted to hospital in September when she gave birth to the boy, named Niannian.
She eventually died as the family were celebrating his 100th day.
"Leaving a little life alone in the world, such a heartless mother," another netizen said.
Others, however, were more sympathetic to her plight.
"Even chemotherapy cannot cure cancer, can it? So she chose this way, wise and helpless," said one poster.
Another added: "Mother's love is so great." |||||
Output: | An up-and-coming TV host in Zhengzhou, China, always gave as much time as she could to her job, often working 14-hour days without complaint, a co-worker says. But when Qiu Yuanyuan became pregnant in March, her focus switched over to her unborn child—so much so that when she found out she had late-stage womb cancer in July, she opted not to go forward with chemo to protect her baby, Shanghaiist reports. In September she gave birth to 3.3-pound Niannian two months early via C-section, after which doctors tried to remove her tumor and begin chemo, but it was too late: Qiu died this month at home on Niannian's 100th day, a traditional Chinese celebration, the South China Morning Post reports. Qiu's choice has launched a back-and-forth online, with some lauding the young mother for a courageous, selfless act, and others insisting she should've tried harder to stay alive. One commenter in an online forum writes, "She's a goddess and great mother. R.I.P.," as per Shanghaiist, while AFP mentions a Sina Weibo lament that states, "It's not a beautiful thing if a child is born with no care and love from its natural mother"; another commenter piles on: "Leaving a little life alone in the world, such a heartless mother." Qiu's husband, a reporter at the same station as his wife, tells the Zhengzhou Evening News that her "biggest wish" had been to be a mom. "She chose to save our child; she understood that not everything in life can be perfect," he says, per the Morning Post. "And she said she had never regretted her decision." (A Colorado woman's family says her decision to have a C-section was the ultimate motherly sacrifice.) |

(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>What is the name of the oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico<sep>Transvision

Definition: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Input: What kind of establishments are historically associated with alcohol?, Context: In Europe, it is the provision of accommodation, if anything, that now distinguishes inns from taverns, alehouses and pubs. The latter tend to provide alcohol (and, in the UK, soft drinks and often food), but less commonly accommodation. Inns tend to be older and grander establishments: historically they provided not only food and lodging, but also stabling and fodder for the traveller's horse(s) and on some roads fresh horses for the mail coach. Famous London inns include The George, Southwark and The Tabard. There is however no longer a formal distinction between an inn and other kinds of establishment. Many pubs use "Inn" in their name, either because they are long established former coaching inns, or to summon up a particular kind of image, or in many cases simply as a pun on the word "in", as in "The Welcome Inn", the name of many pubs in Scotland.
Output: | taverns, alehouses and pubs |

Input: Consider Input: What aspect of a child's mental capacity did multinationals use to their advantage?, Context: On 23 June 1757, the English East India Company defeated Siraj-ud-Daula, the Nawab of Bengal, in the Battle of Plassey. The British thus became masters of east India (Bengal, Bihar, Orissa) – a prosperous region with a flourishing agriculture, industry and trade. This led to a large amount of children being forced into labour due to the increasing need of cheap labour to produce large numbers of goods. Many multinationals often employed children because that they can be recruited for less pay, and have more endurance to utilise in factory environments. Another reason many Indian children were hired was because they lack knowledge of their basic rights, they did not cause trouble or complain, and they were often more trustworthy. The innocence that comes with childhood was utilised to make a profit by many and was encouraged by the need for family income.
Output: innocence

Input: Consider Input: Which scientist worked with a female partner, Frederick Hopkins or Carl von Voit?, Context: In the early 20th century, Carl von Voit and Max Rubner independently measured caloric energy expenditure in different species of animals, applying principles of physics in nutrition. In 1906, Edith G. Willcock and Frederick Hopkins showed that the amino acid tryptophan aids the well-being of mice but it did not assure their growth. In the middle of twelve years of attempts to isolate them, Hopkins said in a 1906 lecture that "unsuspected dietetic factors," other than calories, protein, and minerals, are needed to prevent deficiency diseases. In 1907, Stephen M. Babcock and Edwin B. Hart conducted the single-grain experiment, which took nearly four years to complete.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Where did non black residents go to further cause problems for African Americans?, Context: Detroit remains one of the most racially segregated cities in the United States. From the 1940s to the 1970s a second wave of Blacks moved to Detroit to escape Jim Crow laws in the south and find jobs. However, they soon found themselves excluded from white areas of the city—through violence, laws, and economic discrimination (e.g., redlining). White residents attacked black homes: breaking windows, starting fires, and exploding bombs. The pattern of segregation was later magnified by white migration to the suburbs. One of the implications of racial segregation, which correlates with class segregation, may be overall worse health for some populations. | redlining |

Q: A handful of Bronze Age relics has fostered an assumption that prehistoric settlers inhabited Ibiza thousands of years ago. Greater evidence of such a people is found on Mallorca and Menorca than on Ibiza, but one of the Balearics' most important sites is actually on the island of Formentera, where the megalithic monument/tomb of Ca Na Costa has been dated to 2000 b.c. Ibiza's key location between Africa and ancient Iberia made it a convenient stopover for Mediterranean seafarers, such as the Phoenician traders, who called the island Ibosim. The Greeks dubbed it Ebysos, the Romans called it Ebusus, and the Moors, Yebisah. The Carthaginians: A detailed history of the island doesn't begin until it became a colony of Carthage in the 7th century b.c. . The Carthaginians originally came from the area comprising present-day Lebanon, and from their bases in North Africa and what's now Spain, they challenged the Roman Empire for domination of the Mediterranean region. Their interest in Ibiza lay partly in its vast salt flats, which to this day remain the source of a profitable industry. They capitalized on the natural resources by using the salt to cure fish, which they exported to their home country. The Carthaginians also carried out lead mining and continued to be of significance up until this century. It is believed that the lead pellets which were used by the Carthaginian general Hannibal were made on Ibiza. The Carthaginians also considered the island a holy place, and here in great splendour they buried thousands of their citizens in a huge necropolis on the Puig des Molins (Hill of the Windmills) below the Dalt Vila (Old Town) of Ibiza. Under the gnarled olive trees archaeologists have uncovered a treasure trove of statues, jewellery, pitchers, tools, and coins, which are now displayed in the town's two archaeological museums. The Romans never really infiltrated Ibiza, and even after the defeat of Hannibal in 202 b.c. during the Second Punic War their influence was restrained. Only with the fall of Carthage in 146 b.c. did they manage to make inroads, but, as local historians stress, Ibiza was neither conquered nor annexed by Rome, but confederated, retaining remarkable autonomy. For centuries to come the old Carthaginian traditions were allowed to continue on Ibiza alongside the new Roman way of life. <sep>What are some of the groups of people that went to island Ibosim?<sep>Chinese

Oscar-winning actress Joan Fontaine died Sunday, her longtime friend Noel Beutel said Monday. She was 96. Fontaine died "very peacefully" in her sleep of natural causes, Beutel said. She was in her Carmel, California, home. She is survived by her older sister, actress Olivia de Havilland -- with whom she had not spoken for decades. Fontaine was born Joan de Beauvoir de Havilland in 1916 in Tokyo, Japan, where her British father was a patent lawyer and teacher. She and her sister moved to Saratoga, California, with their mother in 1919 when her parents separated. Fontaine was a teenager when she began her acting career as Joan Burfield in the 1935 film "No More Ladies." She later adopted the stage name Fontaine -- the name of her mother's second husband. She wrote in her 1978 autobiography, "No Bed of Roses," that her mother, who was an actress, began encouraging the rivalry with her older sister at an early age. The feud extended to their careers when both sisters were nominated for best actress Oscars in 1942. Fontaine, who was nominated for Alfred Hitchcock's "Suspicion," beat her sister Olivia de Havilland, who was nominated for "Hold Back the Dawn." De Havilland won the first of her two Oscars in 1947 when she was given the best actress award for "To Each His Own." De Havilland and Fontaine remain the only sisters who have best-actress Academy Awards. The long-standing feud with de Havilland was at such a peak during one Oscar winners' reunion in 1979 that they had to be seated on opposite ends of the stage. "I was shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of my sister, Joan Fontaine ... and I appreciate the many kind expressions of sympathy that we have received," a statement released by Olivia de Havilland to CNN said. <sep>Explain the circumstances of Fontaine's death?<sep>Tragedy

Now, solve this instance: (CNN) -- Cuba will pardon more than 2,900 prisoners, the government said Friday, though U.S. subcontractor Alan Gross is not among those who will be freed. The decision to release the prisoners follows "numerous requests" from their family members and religious institutions, and is a humanitarian gesture, said Cuban President Raul Castro. Among those who might be freed are prisoners over the age of 60, along with those who are sick, female or young with no previous criminal record. With some exceptions, prisoners convicted of spying, terrorism, murder and drug trafficking will not be released. Those who will be freed have already served a "important" part of their sentences and exhibited good behavior, according to an official statement published on the state-run website Cubadebate. The jailed American, Gross, will not be among those pardoned, the Cuban Interests Section in Washington said. Gross was jailed in December 2009, when he was working as a subcontractor on a U.S. Agency for International Development project aimed at spreading democracy. Castro has accused him of importing satellite equipment to connect dissidents to the Internet, and this year Cuba's highest court upheld the 15-year sentence imposed on Gross for committing crimes against the security of the state. He has maintained his innocence and said he was trying to help connect the Jewish community to the Internet. Castro, speaking to the National Assembly, said that 86 prisoners from 25 countries would be among those released in coming days. He cited the upcoming visit of Pope Benedict XVI as one of the motivations behind the move, which he said showed the "generosity and strength of the revolution." The pope has said he plans to visit Mexico and Cuba before Easter. <sep>How was Gross able to connect the Jewish community to the internet?<sep>Importing satellite equipment to connect dissidents to the Internet

“Leaking” corpses of people killed by subway trains are often brought to employee lunch rooms and other break areas inside stations, disgusted union officials and sources said Monday.
In an effort to restore service quickly, bodies are simply carted off to “whatever room happens to be nearest,” a union source told The Post.
“If a lunch room is the nearest, they’ll put it in the lunch room,” the source said.
And that’s enough to make transit workers lose their lunch.
LaShawn Jones, 52, who has been a station agent for 18 years, said she was coming into work at the 103rd Street 1 train station about five years ago — and made a quick stop in the employee bathroom when she saw some NYPD Emergency Service Unit officers handling a body inside.
“They weren’t aware that I was coming in and I wasn’t aware that they were in there,” Jones told The Post. “All I remember seeing was a black bag with purplish stuff.”
Jones returned to the bathroom on her lunch break — and though the body was gone, she saw some “hair and scalp and basically body parts in the sink,” she said.
Jones said she immediately went to her booth and called her supervisor. The mess was eventually cleaned up, “but the fact I had to experience that was disgusting,” she said.
“That can totally mess with your psyche, not just for that day but for the future as well,” Jones added. “I couldn’t go home. I was hysterical and I was crying, but by the time the supervisor got there, I calmed myself down.”
Others are so traumatized that they need to take time off, said Derick Echevarria, vice president of stations for Transport Workers Union Local 100.
“To see pieces of a body is traumatizing,” he said. “It stays with them to see something like that.”
Theresa Green, a station agent for 28 years who is a member of the TWU Local 100 union, told the Chief-Leader, which was the first to report the story, that dead bodies at subway stations have been handled this way for years and “nothing was ever done.”
“I saw this on April 7, 2008, when someone committed suicide in the Franklin Avenue C station in Brooklyn, and it still goes on because this is their procedure,” Green told the paper.
Union officials said it takes at least two hours for a corpse to leave the station.
“The police are forced [to] store the bodies in utility rooms and other subway rooms while waiting for Medical Examiner’s Office staff to arrive. It’s unacceptable that transit workers have to endure this on the job,” a TWU Local 100 spokesperson said in a statement. “Mayor de Blasio and his administration have failed to provide enough staffing for the Medical Examiner’s Office to quickly retrieve and remove bodies from the subway after these tragedies.”
An MTA source said bodies are temporarily kept in non-public areas by the NYPD while they wait for the medical examiner to show up.
In a statement, an MTA spokesperson said that “it’s of the utmost importance” that anyone who dies in the subway system is removed from the tracks and platforms as fast as possible “to restore service quickly and to give humane treatment to the deceased and their family.”
“The placement and removal of bodies are handled by NYPD and the NYC Medical Examiner, and we’re discussing with TWU officials how any of the current practices can be enhanced for the comfort of our workers,” the statement said.
A City Hall spokeswoman said in a statement that the ME’s office and the NYPD “are committed to reducing our response times even further to ensure both the humane treatment of the deceased and the health of subway workers and straphangers.”
Only members of the NYPD’s Emergency Service Unit can remove dead bodies from a subway track or tunnel, according to a section of the department’s patrol guide provided to The Post. |||||
Student: | Ever wonder where the bodies of people hit by subway trains are brought to immediately after an accident? "Whatever room happens to be nearest" in New York City's subways, even if that room is an employee lunchroom, bathroom, or other break area, a transit union source tells the New York Post. MTA workers describe encountering gruesome scenes, including "leaking" corpses and hair, scalp pieces, and other "parts" left in bathroom sinks. Some workers say this has gone on for years, with union officials noting it can take up to two hours for a body to be handed off to the medical examiner's office. It's then up to station cleaning staff to clean up, a Transport Workers Union Local 100 station rep tells the New York Daily News. The MTA says workers are trained to handle "infectious waste," adding that cops are supposed to be stationed so MTA workers don't see remains. "People eat there, people drink water there, store their clothes there," the TWU rep tells the Daily News. "No body should be placed in these rooms." "It's unacceptable that transit workers have to endure this on the job," a TWU statement notes, per the Post, blaming Mayor Bill de Blasio for not providing adequate medical examiner staff to deal quickly with such situations, per the Post. A City Hall statement notes both cops and the medical examiner's office want to cut down on response times for "both the humane treatment of the deceased and the health of subway workers and straphangers." Meanwhile, the MTA issued its own statement saying rapid removal of bodies from public areas is of "utmost importance" and that it will be conversing with TWU officials to see how it can better provide for MTA workers' "comfort." (This probably doesn't make NYC's "summer of hell" any better.) |

PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — The Latest on President Donald Trump, who has been at his winter home in Palm Beach, Fla. (all times local):
7 p.m.
President Donald Trump has returned to the White House after a holiday break at his South Florida estate.
The president faces a hefty legislative to-do list with the new year, plus critical midterm elections and perilous threats abroad.
Trump is starting his second year in office after a lengthy visit to Mar-a-Lago, capped by a New Year's Eve bash.
Before his departure Monday, the president fired off angry tweets at Iran and Pakistan, slamming Islamabad for "lies & deceit" and saying the country had played U.S. leaders for "fools." That's a reference to frustrations that Pakistan isn't doing enough to control militants.
On Iran, Trump kept up his drumbeat in support of widespread anti-government protests there.

5:45 p.m.
President Donald Trump is returning to Washington after a holiday respite at his South Florida estate. He's already sent his first tweets of the New Year, criticizing the governments of Iran and Pakistan.
Trump says Iran is "failing at every level," and he is voicing his support for the protesters there. On the subject of Pakistan, Trump tweets that Pakistan has given the U.S. nothing but "lies and deceit" for many years in spite of receiving billions of dollars in aid.
Also on the first day of the new year, Trump hosted two professional golfers, Fred Funk and his son Taylor Funk.
Trump visited his golf club most days during his Christmas and New Year's break at Mar-a-Lago. Last week he invited Coast Guard members to golf and have lunch.

President Donald Trump is kicking off the new year at one of his Florida golf clubs, where he is hosting two professional golfers.
The White House said Monday that Trump was with Fred Funk and his son Taylor Funk.
Trump has been spending the holidays at his Palm Beach private club, heading to his nearby golf club most days. Last week he invited Coast Guard members to golf and have lunch.
Trump will return to Washington later Monday.
___
8:15 a.m.
President Donald Trump says Iran is "failing at every level," and he is voicing his support for the protesters there, saying it is "TIME FOR CHANGE."
Trump says on Twitter Monday: "Iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the Obama Administration. The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE!"
The protests began Thursday in Mashhad over economic issues and have since expanded to several cities. Hundreds of people have been arrested.
While some have shared Trump's tweets, many in Iran distrust him as he's refused to re-certify the nuclear deal and because his travel bans have blocked Iranians from getting U.S. visas.
___
7:40 a.m.
President Donald Trump began the New Year by sending an angry, early morning tweet criticizing Pakistan.
Trump tweeted: "The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools. They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!"
It was not immediately clear why Trump opted to tweet on Pakistan. The U.S. has long accused Islamabad of allowing militants to operate relatively freely in Pakistan's border regions to carry out operations in neighboring Afghanistan.
___
3 a.m.
Bidding farewell to 2017 with a lavish party at his private club, President Donald Trump predicted 2018 will be a "tremendous year."
Trump said Sunday that the stock market will continue to rise and that companies are going to continue to come into the U.S., at "a rapid clip." He also cited several accomplishments, including the tax overhaul, opening the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling, and repealing the individual mandate from the national health care law.
"It will be a fantastic 2018," a tuxedoed Trump said, as he entered the gilded ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, accompanied by first lady Melania Trump and son Barron. ||||| The United States has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools.

The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE! |||||
A: | If President Trump's New Year's resolution was to get tough on Pakistan and Iran, he's off to a great start. If it was to tone down his use of Twitter, not so much. Trump laid into Pakistan in his first tweet of the year, saying the US "has foolishly given Pakistan more than 33 billion dollars in aid over the last 15 years, and they have given us nothing but lies & deceit, thinking of our leaders as fools." He added: "They give safe haven to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help. No more!" The tweet follows reports that Trump is considering cutting off aid to Pakistan. Khawaja Asif, Pakistan's foreign affairs minister, says the country is preparing a response to Trump that will let the world know the difference "between facts and fiction," the Hill reports. In a second Monday morning tweet, Trump slammed Iran amid reports that at least 12 people had been killed in anti-government protests. "Iran is failing at every level despite the terrible deal made with them by the Obama Administration," he tweeted. "The great Iranian people have been repressed for many years. They are hungry for food & for freedom. Along with human rights, the wealth of Iran is being looted. TIME FOR CHANGE!" The White House says Trump, who celebrated New Year's Eve at an event at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, plans to host father-and-son pro golfers Fred and Taylor Funk at the Trump International Golf Club in Palm Beach Monday before returning to Washington later in the day, the San Francisco Chronicle reports. |

Ex Input:
(CNN) -- Sevilla have sacked coach Manolo Jimenez after their disappointing home draw to bottom-club Xerez on Tuesday extended the club's winless run to seven games. Despite lying fifth in the Spanish Primera Liga table, Sevilla were knocked out of the lucrative European Champions League by Russian side CSKA Moscow last week. Jimenez had also secured a Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid but it wasn't enough to save the 46-year-old's job. The club's sporting director Ramon Rodriguez admitted the decision had been difficult but said he had "done what I had to." He told the club's official Web site: "It was an unavoidable situation and we had to find a solution, and the pain that it brings. "Tuesday was the end of the story but the decision comes from the image and dynamics of the team. Without doubt we are grateful to Manolo. He is an excellent professional, he has made all this possible and impossible. However it is obvious that he could not get a response out of the team. "Fortunately we believe that there is time. The growth and the ambition of the club is shown in the change of the manager. We are fighting for important things." Xerez's injury-time equaliser on Tuesday meant Sevilla's last league success was against Real Mallorca back in February. Ironically, it is Mallorca who occupy the much-coveted fourth spot in the table that guarantees Champions League football next season. Jimenez took charge in October 2007 when former coach Juande Ramos left to take over at English Premier League team Tottenham. <sep>What was Sevilla's last league success, and where does that team now rank in the Champions League football table?<sep>Real Mallorca's Team- 6th

Sound waves are mechanical waves. They can travel only through matter. They cannot travel through empty space. This was demonstrated in the 1600s by a scientist named Robert Boyle. Boyle placed a ticking clock in a sealed glass jar. The clock could be heard ticking through the air and glass of the jar. Then Boyle pumped the air out of the jar. The clock was still running, but the ticking could not be heard. Thats because the sound couldnt travel without air particles to transfer the sound energy. Is there any other place where sound cannot be heard? Here is a hint: is there any other place that does not have air molecules? Thats right, in space sound cannot be transferred. So can astronauts hear each other? Yes, they can, because they are in enclosed space stations or pressurized suits.In both cases, they are surrounded by air molecules. If they left their space ship and did not use their electronics, they would not be able to hear each other. Next time you watch a science fiction movie, think about this factoid. When spaceships are destroyed by hostile alien beings, there would be no sound heard. Sound waves can travel through many kinds of matter. <sep>Can sound waves travel through empty space?<sep>definitely not

Do all plants live on the land? Some plants do live in the water. To do this, they have evolved special traits. Plants that live in water are called aquatic plants. Living in water has certain benefits. There is certainly plenty of water! The plant does not need special traits to absorb, transport, or conserve water. They do not need a large root system. They do not need a strong stem to hold up the plant. The plant uses the water for support. Dont think water plants have it easy, though. They also face challenges. Living in water isnt that easy. They do need some special traits to survive. It is tough for the plant to reproduce. Pollination by wind or animals cant happen under water. Sunlight cannot reach very far beneath the waters surface. Some aquatic plants have floating flowers and leaves. <sep>Where do some plants live that don't live on land?<sep>In the water

How to grow mistletoe
Pick several mistletoe berries from a fully mature branch.
The best time of year to gather mistletoe berries is in february, when the berries are fully mature and ready to be planted. You can also purchase them online if there are no mistletoe plants in your area.
Fresh mistletoe berries are ideal for planting. You can trust they are ripe and ready to germinate, unlike older berries (or berries used in decorations), which may have already begun to decay.
How to check the freshness of baking powder
Boil some tap water.
Use tap water and fill a kettle to the minimum fill line. You only need ½ cup (118 ml) of hot water to test the baking powder, but filling the kettle to the minimum fill line will ensure the heating element doesn't overheat.
Turn on the kettle and bring the water to a boil. Don't use more water than you need, otherwise the kettle will waste energy heating the extra water.

Q: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
What does "identity"mean?, Context: The description or representation of individual and group identity is a central task for psychologists, sociologists and anthropologists and those of other disciplines where "identity" needs to be mapped and defined. How should one describe the identity of another, in ways which encompass both their idiosyncratic qualities and their group memberships or identifications, both of which can shift according to circumstance? Following on from the work of Kelly, Erikson, Tajfel and others Weinreich's Identity Structure Analysis (ISA), is "a structural representation of the individual's existential experience, in which the relationships between self and other agents are organised in relatively stable structures over time … with the emphasis on the socio-cultural milieu in which self relates to other agents and institutions" (Weinreich and Saunderson, (eds) 2003, p1). Using constructs drawn from the salient discourses of the individual, the group and cultural norms, the practical operationalisation of ISA provides a methodology that maps how these are used by the individual, applied across time and milieus by the "situated self" to appraise self and other agents and institutions (for example, resulting in the individual's evaluation of self and significant others and institutions).[citation needed]
A: | their idiosyncratic qualities |

How to wrap a sprained ankle
Pick your bandage.
For most people, the best choice of wrapping for a compression wrap is a cloth elastic bandage, sometimes colloquially known as an " ace bandage, " after a common brand of elastic bandage.
Any brand of elastic bandage will work.
pick from the following. *However, wider bandages (between one-and-half and three inches wide) are usually easier to use. Cloth elastic bandages are comfortable, since they're made of stretchy cloth.; *Use the elastic bandage around your injured ankle while the wound heals, avoiding wrapping the bandage around the wrist. The bandage needs to be snug enough that it cannot move during the entire healing process.; *You can wrap the wrap yourself, but be prepared to take that extra material with you. Foam socks are not recommended because they are not soft enough to do much damage to your ankle.; *If you can't find any of the common brands like ace bandage, this might be a good option. Pick up a large sock and lay it across your wrist.; | However, wider bandages (between one-and-half and three inches wide) are usually easier to use.

Question: Among the early blows struck for independence was a rebellion in the town of Olhão. On 16 June 1808, the townsfolk — armed with little more than ancient swords, spears, and stones — attacked and captured the local French garrison. It's said that a party of local men then set sail from Olhão all the way to Brazil, without maps or navigational aids, to tell the king of the insurrection. The real battle, however, was waged under the leadership of the Duke of Wellington, whose coalition forces expelled the French after two years of bitter fighting. The war left Portugal further weakened, and in 1822 its major empire outpost, Brazil, declared independence. At the same time, a dispute over the crown continually raged between Pedro IV, the absentee monarch who preferred to reign as Emperor of Brazil rather than return to Portugal, and his brother Miguel. The power struggle, with strong overtones of absolutism versus liberalism, excited the interest and intervention of other powers. With British help, Pedro defeated Miguel off Cape St. Vincent in 1833, and his expeditionary force marched to Lisbon. Pedro took the throne, though armed struggle continued for months and the lingering bitterness long after that. By 1892 Portugal, racked by wars and the continuing expense of maintaining its African colonies (including those of Mozambique and Angola), declared itself bankrupt. The seeds of discontent with absolutist rule were sown. Kingdom's End Bloodshed would haunt the remaining years of the Portuguese monarchy. On 1 February 1908, the royal family was riding in an open carriage along the Lisbon river front plaza, Terreiro do Paço, when an assassin opened fire and killed King Carlos and the heir to the throne, Prince Luis Filipe. The prince's younger brother, Prince Manuel, was also hit, but he survived and was thus propelled to the throne at the tender age of 19. Amid republican agitation, a surprise uprising led by elements within the armed forces deposed Manuel in 1910. Having ruled for less than three years, Manuel died in exile in 1932 in England. The sudden end of more than seven centuries of monarchy brought confusion and crisis to the country. Presidents and prime ministers were ushered into and out of office an unbelievable 45 times between 1910 and 1926, until a military revolution suspended Portugal's problematic democracy. <sep>Did the French lose a battle early in the war?<sep>Yes

Q: (CNN) -- A federal court jury in Florida convicted seven people of participating in a global child pornography trafficking enterprise, according to the Department of Justice. Jurors convicted the seven Wednesday of multiple counts of child exploitation, pornography and obstruction of justice. Members of the organization used Internet news groups to swap and share "illegal images and videos depicting prepubescent children, including toddlers, engaged in various sexual and sadistic acts," prosecutors said. An indictment filed in the case detailed interactions between group members as they swapped and commented on images. "My thanks to you and all the others that together make this the greatest group of pedos to ever gather in one place," Freeman wrote in response to one posting, according to the indictment. And a posting from Castleman, cited in the indictment, read, "Thanks to all for the wonderful material that has been posted." An Australian constable who infiltrated the group in August 2006 was among 50 witnesses testifying at trial. He told the jury that the group traded more than 400,000 images and videos of child sexual abuse before being dismantled by law enforcement, according to the Justice Department statement. Each defendant faces a sentence of 20 years to life in prison, fines and the possibility of supervised release for the rest of their lives, authorities said. The seven will be sentenced April 14. During the six-day trial, evidence showed the seven participated in what prosecutors called a "well-organized criminal enterprise whose purpose was to proliferate child sex abuse images to its membership during a two-year period." "This was a wide-scale, high-volume, international trafficking enterprise that used sophisticated computer encryption technology and file-sharing techniques," Matthew Friedrich, acting assistant attorney general, said in the statement. The seven defendants were James Freeman of Santa Rosa Beach, Florida; Gary Lakey of Anderson, Indiana; Marvin Lambert of Indianapolis, Indiana; Neville McGarity of Medina, Texas; Warren Mumpower of Spokane, Washington; Daniel Castleman of Lubbock, Texas; and Ronald White of Burlington, North Carolina, according to the Department of Justice. <sep>David Castleman of Lubbock, Texas will face what sentence?<sep>Fines and the possibility of supervised release for the rest of their lives

Q: Pregnancy over age 50 has, over recent years, become possible for more women, and more easily achieved for many, due to recent advances in assisted reproductive technology, in particular egg donation. Typically, a woman's fecundity ends with menopause, which by definition is 12 consecutive months without having had any menstrual flow at all. During perimenopause, the menstrual cycle and the periods become irregular and eventually stop altogether, but even when periods are still regular, the egg quality of women in their forties is lower than in younger women, making the likelihood of conceiving a healthy baby also reduced, particularly after age 42. It is important to note, that the female biological clock can vary greatly from woman to woman. A woman's individual level of fertility can be tested through a variety of methods.
A: | can a woman give birth at 50 years? |

Input: A group of Swedish marine archeologists say they have found what they believe could be the world's oldest stationary fishing traps on the bottom of the Baltic Sea, with the most ancient dating back at least 9,000 years.
Arne Sjostrom, an archeologist at Sodertorn University outside of Stockholm, says the remains of the seven basket traps, made out of hazel rods fastened together, have been found in a submerged ancient river valley off Sweden's southern coast at a depth of 5-12 meters (16.5-40 feet).
Only one of the baskets has been carbon dated, and is estimated to be around 9,000 years old. Sjostrom on Tuesday said his team is "pretty confident this is the world's oldest stationary fishing trap that has been found so far." ||||| Image caption Catching fish is a practice that goes back thousands of years
Wooden fish traps said to be some 9,000 years old have been found in the Baltic Sea off Sweden, possibly the oldest such traps in existence.
Marine archaeologists from Stockholm's Sodertorn University found finger-thick hazel rods grouped on the sea bed.
They are thought to be the remains of stationary basket traps.
"This is the world's oldest find when it comes to fishing," said Johan Ronnby, a professor in marine archaeology.
Arne Sjostrom, a fellow archaeologist who worked on the Sodertorn project, said the sticks seemed to have been used as a "sort of fence to lead the fish into a creel or they were part of the actual creel".
The remains of seven basket traps were found in a submerged ancient river valley off Sweden's southern coast at a depth of 5-12m (16.5-40ft), Mr Sjostrom said.
Many examples of similar traps had been found in other parts of the world, he added.
Only one of the baskets has been carbon-dated and is estimated to be around 9,000 years old, the Associated Press news agency reports.
The 8th Millennium BC is believed to be the period when Stone Age man developed agriculture and built what were to become the world's first cities. |||||

Question: what is the first group mentioned?, Context: Although critics have blamed Napoleon for several tactical mistakes preceding the battle, they have also praised his audacity for selecting a risky campaign strategy, choosing to invade the Italian peninsula from the north when the vast majority of French invasions came from the west, near or along the coastline. As Chandler points out, Napoleon spent almost a year getting the Austrians out of Italy in his first campaign; in 1800, it took him only a month to achieve the same goal. German strategist and field marshal Alfred von Schlieffen concluded that "Bonaparte did not annihilate his enemy but eliminated him and rendered him harmless" while "[attaining] the object of the campaign: the conquest of North Italy."
Answer: critics
Question: Who wanted Kip to play himself?, Context: In June 2006, Steven Spielberg announced he would direct a scientifically accurate film about "a group of explorers who travel through a worm hole and into another dimension", from a treatment by Kip Thorne and producer Lynda Obst. In January 2007, screenwriter Jonathan Nolan met with them to discuss adapting Obst and Thorne's treatment into a narrative screenplay. The screenwriter suggested the addition of a "time element" to the treatment's basic idea, which was welcomed by Obst and Thorne. In March of that year, Paramount hired Nolan, as well as scientists from Caltech, forming a workshop to adapt the treatment under the title Interstellar. The following July, Kip Thorne said there was a push by people for him to portray himself in the film. Spielberg later abandoned Interstellar, which was eventually directed by Christopher Nolan.

Question: Are angiosperms C3 or C4 plants?, Context: Some chloroplasts contain a structure called the chloroplast peripheral reticulum. It is often found in the chloroplasts of C4 plants, though it has also been found in some C3 angiosperms, and even some gymnosperms. The chloroplast peripheral reticulum consists of a maze of membranous tubes and vesicles continuous with the inner chloroplast membrane that extends into the internal stromal fluid of the chloroplast. Its purpose is thought to be to increase the chloroplast's surface area for cross-membrane transport between its stroma and the cell cytoplasm. The small vesicles sometimes observed may serve as transport vesicles to shuttle stuff between the thylakoids and intermembrane space.

Vincente departed Hong Kong midmorning, after leaving more than 100 residents injured and paralyzing business in one of the world's leading financial centers. By early afternoon, Hong Kong airport was operating near normal, and the Hong Kong Stock exchange had resumed trading.
On the mainland, Chinese state media said that even in its weakened condition Vincente could still dump 300mm (12 inches) of rain in Guangxi province, after it passes through Guangdong, adjacent to Hong Kong.
They said that authorities had evacuated more than 42,000 people in the Guangdong city of Maoming, and were preparing to cope with possible "flash floods, mudslides, landslides and other disasters."
Vincente made landfall near Hong Kong at 4 a.m. (2000 GMT Monday), after the Hong Kong Observatory issued its No. 10 hurricane signal _ the highest _ for the first time since 1999.
By early Tuesday, wind speeds that had reached around 140 kph (88 mph) moderated to 59 kph (37 mph), and the observatory lowered its signal, though still warning the territory's residents of strong gales.
The Hong Kong government said that 118 people had been injured during the night, including 52 admitted to hospitals. Flying debris struck several people in the central business district and subway stations around the territory were converted into temporary shelters to accommodate dozens of stranded passengers.
At daybreak, the normally bustling Central district resembled a ghost town, with the stock market and major banks closed and businesses shuttered.
Dozens of flights at Hong Kong airport were cancelled or delayed, and ferry services linking Hong Kong island with Kowloon, the New Territories and outlying islands were suspended.
Throughout the morning, cleanup crews struggled to remove fallen trees and branches from major roadways. Some flooding was reported in the New Territories. ||||| Story highlights Hong Kong is cleaning up after a severe typhoon struck the city Tuesday with gale-force winds and rain
Hong Kong Hospital Authority reported at least 129 people were injured, none fatally
Typhoon Vicente caused the city to raise its strongest typhoon warning in 13 years
The Hang Seng Stock Exchange will resume trading at 1 p.m. local time
Hong Kong is cleaning up Tuesday after a severe typhoon struck the city with gale-force winds and rain, shuttering much of the city and injuring at least 129 people.
Typhoon Vicente caused the city to raise its strongest typhoon warning for the first time in 13 years.
No fatalities have been reported from the storm, which canceled flights, closed schools and delayed the Tuesday opening of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.
Government agencies received over 1000 reports of felled trees as well as flood damage. The city has so far opened 24 temporary shelters where 268 people have sought refuge, according to the Home Affairs Department.
The last time the city raised a No. 10 warning signal -- the highest for the city -- was in 1999 when Typhoon York blew into Hong Kong, according to observatory records.
The tropical cyclone warning signal has since been downgraded to No. 3, which allowed the resumption of full public transportation services, but high rainstorm and landslide warnings remain in effect. A No. 3 signal indicates persistent strong winds blowing at 41-62 kilometers per hour, with gusts that may exceed 110 kilometers per hour.
An observatory bulletin issued at 10:45 a.m. local time placed the center of Typhoon Vicente 260 kilometers west of Hong Kong, with winds blowing at average speeds of 63 kilometers per hour or more from the southeast. The typhoon is forecast to move at 22 kilometers per hour into western Guangdong province and cross over to Guangxi province.
The pre-opening and morning sessions of the Hong Kong Stock exchange were canceled, as per the exchange's guidelines. The stock exchange will open for trading at 1 p.m. Tuesday local time.
Typhoon Vicente roared into Hong Kong on Monday, steadily intensifying throughout the day. The Hong Kong Observatory issued a tropical cyclone warning No. 8 signal on Monday 5:44 p.m. local time, eventually raising it to a No. 10 signal at 12:45 a.m. Tuesday.
Tropical cyclone warning signals are intended to warn the public of the threat of winds associated with a tropical cyclone.
The Hong Kong Hospital Authority reported 129 people, aged between 4 and 86 years old, sought medical treatment as of 9:30 a.m., and 72 people were admitted for their injuries. During the storm, at least 60 flights at the Hong Kong International Airport were canceled and 60 flights delayed. |||||
A: | Amid vicious winds and rain, Hong Kong last night raised its highest-level typhoon warning for the first time in 13 years. Some 129 people were injured in the storm; no deaths have been reported. But 60 flights were cancelled, and much of the city closed as Typhoon Vicente knocked down some 1,000 trees and triggered major flooding. Temporary shelters around the city have taken in hundreds of people, CNN reports. The storm blew in yesterday, getting stronger by the hour. Schools were closed and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's opening was delayed today. Now a tropical storm, Vicente has arrived in southern mainland China, where authorities, bracing for floods and mudslides, have ordered 42,000 people to evacuate, AP reports. |

[EX Q]: The Mummy 's Shroud is set in 1920 and tells the story of a team of archaeologists who come across the lost tomb of the boy Pharaoh Kah-To-Bey . The story begins with a flash back sequence to Ancient Egypt and we see the story of how Prem , a manservant of Kah-To-Bey , spirited away the boy when his father was killed in a palace coup and took him into the desert for protection . Unfortunately , the boy dies and is buried . The story then moves forward to 1920 and shows the expedition led by scientist Sir Basil Walden and business man Stanley Preston finding the tomb . They ignore the dire warning issued to them by Hasmid , a local Bedouin about the consequences for those that violate the tombs of Ancient Egypt and remove the bodies and the sacred shroud . Sir Basil is bitten by a snake just after finding the tomb . He recovers , but has a relapse after arriving back in Cairo . Preston takes advantage of this and commits him to an insane asylum , to take credit for finding the tomb and Prince 's mummy himself . Meanwhile , after being placed in the Cairo Museum , the mummy of Prem is revived when Hasmid chants the sacred oath on the shroud . The mummy then proceeds to go on a murderous rampage to kill off the members of the expedition , beginning with Sir Basil after he escapes from the asylum .

[EX Q]: In architecture Durer cites Vitruvius but elaborates his own classical designs and columns. In typography, Durer depicts the geometric construction of the Latin alphabet, relying on Italian precedent. However, his construction of the Gothic alphabet is based upon an entirely different modular system. The fourth book completes the progression of the first and second by moving to three-dimensional forms and the construction of polyhedra. Here Durer discusses the five Platonic solids, as well as seven Archimedean semi-regular solids, as well as several of his own invention. In all these, Durer shows the objects as nets. Finally, Durer discusses the Delian Problem and moves on to the 'construzione legittima', a method of depicting a cube in two dimensions through linear perspective. It was in Bologna that Durer was taught (possibly by Luca Pacioli or Bramante) the principles of linear perspective, and evidently became familiar with the 'costruzione legittima' in a written description of these principles found only, at this time, in the unpublished treatise of Piero della Francesca. He was also familiar with the 'abbreviated construction' as described by Alberti and the geometrical construction of shadows, a technique of Leonardo da Vinci. Although Durer made no innovations in these areas, he is notable as the first Northern European to treat matters of visual representation in a scientific way, and with understanding of Euclidean principles. In addition to these geometrical constructions, Durer discusses in this last book of Underweysung der Messung an assortment of mechanisms for drawing in perspective from models and provides woodcut illustrations of these methods that are often reproduced in discussions of perspective. <sep>What kind of solids does Durer discuss in his fourth book?<sep>Archimedean

Now, solve this instance: Males, if not neutered, are extremely musky. It is considered preferable to delay neutering until sexual maturity has been reached, at approximately six to eight months old, after the full descent of the testicles. Neutering the male will reduce the smell to almost nothing. The same applies for females, but spaying them is also important for their own health. Unless they are going to be used for breeding purposes, female ferrets will go into extended heat. A female that does not mate can die of aplastic anemia without medical intervention. It is possible to use a vasectomised male to take a female out of heat.

PROBLEM: Neighborhood Legal Services, which provides free legal services to the poor, has expanded into the San Gabriel and Pomona valleys, areas with large Asian populations, many of whom speak limited or no English. Language is their biggest obstacle, but the Asian communities' cultural isolation and service providers' lack of cultural expertise also play a part, said NLS executive director Neal Dubovitz. And with 13 percent to 15 percent of the Asian population in the U.S. living below the poverty line, NLS services are badly needed, Dubovitz said. "Although it is a significant part of the poverty population, Asians historically have not been able to participate in the services and programs available to the poor," he said. From simple telephone advice to complete legal representation in court, the agency provides free consumer, health, family, immigration, housing, public benefits and labor legal services to people who earn under $1,380 per month. Legal service providers have long served large Latino populations, who have cultural diversity but share a common language. "I remember the days when there were only a handful of people in the legal offices who spoke Spanish," Dudovitz said. "Now Spanish and English are interchangeable. Our goal is to have that for the major Asian languages as well." Before the expansion, only a few NLS lawyers spoke Asian languages, said attorney Rebecca Yee, who was hired by NLS in April 2002 to design and head the project. "Now we have people speaking Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, Khmer (from Cambodia), Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Tagalog," Yee said. One of the 13 attorneys hired to work with the program is Irene Mak, a family law attorney who speaks Cantonese, Mandarin and Thai. Mak was a partner at a private law firm before she went to work for NLS two years ago, earning up to $20,000 less a year working on domestic violence cases. "The job is more satisfying than the money," said Mak, who grew up in Hong Kong and Thailand before coming to the United States. "I could use my language skills and wanted to give back to the Asian community." NLS expanded when Legal Services Corp., the federal agency that funds providers of free legal services nationwide, reduced the number of grantees in the Los Angeles area from five to three, Dudovitz said. NLS won the competitive grant over the Legal Services Program for Pasadena, San Gabriel-Pomona valleys. That boosted its client base from 16,000 to around 25,000, and NLS opened an office in El Monte. <sep>How do the attorneys working with the program feel about it?<sep>The feel that the job is satisfying
SOLUTION: Yes
PROBLEM: As noted above, the 9/11 plotters spent somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000 to plan and conduct their attack. The available evidence indicates that the 19 operatives were funded by al Qaeda, either through wire transfers or cash provided by KSM, which they carried into the United States or deposited in foreign accounts and accessed from this country. Our investigation has uncovered no credible evidence that any person in the United States gave the hijackers substantial financial assistance. Similarly, we have seen no evidence that any foreign government-or foreign government official-supplied any funding. We have found no evidence that the Hamburg cell members (Atta, Shehhi, Jarrah, and Binalshibh) received funds from al Qaeda before late 1999. It appears they supported themselves. KSM, Binalshibh, and another plot facilitator, Mustafa al Hawsawi, each received money, in some cases perhaps as much as $10,000, to perform their roles in the plot. After the Hamburg recruits joined the 9/11 conspiracy, al Qaeda began giving them money. Our knowledge of the funding during this period, before the operatives entered the United States, remains murky. According to KSM, the Hamburg cell members each received $5,000 to pay for their return to Germany from Afghanistan after they had been selected to join the plot, and they received additional funds for travel from Germany to the United States. Financial transactions of the plotters are discussed in more detail in chapter 7. Requirements for a Successful Attack As some of the core operatives prepared to leave for the United States, al Qaeda's leaders could have reflected on what they needed to be able to do in order to organize and conduct a complex international terrorist operation to inflict catastrophic harm. We believe such a list of requirements would have included leaders able to evaluate, approve, and supervise the planning and direction of the operation; communications sufficient to enable planning and direction of the operatives and those who would be helping them; a personnel system that could recruit candidates, vet them, indoctrinate them, and give them necessary training; an intelligence effort to gather required information and form assessments of enemy strengths and weaknesses; the ability to move people; and the ability to raise and move the necessary money. The information we have presented about the development of the planes operation shows how, by the spring and summer of 2000, al Qaeda was able to meet these requirements. By late May 2000, two operatives assigned to the planes operation were already in the United States. Three of the four Hamburg cell members would soon arrive. <sep>What time in 2000 does al Queada meet the requirements and what chapter can you find more details about financial transactions?<sep>Before May
SOLUTION: No
PROBLEM: It is not enough to describe some objects by their location. We may also need to know its direction. For example, a wind blows a storm over your school. Where is that storm coming from? Where is it going? How can we describe a direction? The most common way is by using a compass. A compass is a device with a floating needle (Figure 2.1). The needle is a small magnet. The needle aligns itself with the Earth's magnetic field. The compass needle always points to magnetic north. If you have a compass and you find north. You can then know any other direction. See the directions, such as east, south, west, etc., on a compass rose. The Earth has two poles. It has a magnetic north pole. It also has a geographic north pole. These two poles are close to each other but not the exact same place. <sep>What is the most common way to determine direction?<sep>by using compass.

Teacher:In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: What was the main driver of the corruption?, Context: Idris' government was increasingly unpopular by the latter 1960s; it had exacerbated Libya's traditional regional and tribal divisions by centralising the country's federal system in order to take advantage of the country's oil wealth, while corruption and entrenched systems of patronage were widespread throughout the oil industry. Arab nationalism was increasingly popular, and protests flared up following Egypt's 1967 defeat in the Six-Day War with Israel; allied to the western powers, Idris' administration was seen as pro-Israeli. Anti-western riots broke out in Tripoli and Benghazi, while Libyan workers shut down oil terminals in solidarity with Egypt. By 1969, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency was expecting segments of Libya's armed forces to launch a coup. Although claims have been made that they knew of Gaddafi's Free Officers Movement, they have since claimed ignorance, stating that they were monitoring Abdul Aziz Shalhi's Black Boots revolutionary group.
Student: | to take advantage of the country's oil wealth |

TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
PROBLEM: What is sometimes combined with an RPG tube to keep from harming the user?, Context: Rocket-propelled grenades can be—and often are—used against hovering helicopters (e.g., by Somali militiamen during the Battle of Mogadishu (1993)). Firing an RPG at steep angles poses a danger to the user, because the backblast from firing reflects off the ground. In Somalia, militia members sometimes welded a steel plate in the exhaust end of an RPG's tube to deflect pressure away from the shooter when shooting up at US helicopters. RPGs are used in this role only when more effective weapons are not available.
SOLUTION: a steel plate in the exhaust end
PROBLEM: What was the name of the person who joined in on the coup with Xianfeng's empress?, Context: These years saw an evolution in the participation of Empress Dowager Cixi (Wade–Giles: Tz'u-Hsi) in state affairs. She entered the imperial palace in the 1850s as a concubine to the Xianfeng Emperor (r. 1850–1861) and came to power in 1861 after her five-year-old son, the Tongzhi Emperor ascended the throne. She, the Empress Dowager Ci'an (who had been Xianfeng's empress), and Prince Gong (a son of the Daoguang Emperor), staged a coup that ousted several regents for the boy emperor. Between 1861 and 1873, she and Ci'an served as regents, choosing the reign title "Tongzhi" (ruling together). Following the emperor's death in 1875, Cixi's nephew, the Guangxu Emperor, took the throne, in violation of the dynastic custom that the new emperor be of the next generation, and another regency began. In the spring of 1881, Ci'an suddenly died, aged only forty-three, leaving Cixi as sole regent.
SOLUTION: Prince Gong
PROBLEM: What was action was not fatal: ingestion of 425 pennies or ingesting 12 grams of zinc?, Context: In 1982, the US Mint began minting pennies coated in copper but made primarily of zinc. With the new zinc pennies, there is the potential for zinc toxicosis, which can be fatal. One reported case of chronic ingestion of 425 pennies (over 1 kg of zinc) resulted in death due to gastrointestinal bacterial and fungal sepsis, whereas another patient, who ingested 12 grams of zinc, only showed lethargy and ataxia (gross lack of coordination of muscle movements). Several other cases have been reported of humans suffering zinc intoxication by the ingestion of zinc coins.
SOLUTION: | ingested 12 grams of zinc

Barcelona's emblematic statue of Christopher Columbus pointing out to sea could be toppled under a proposal from far-Left councillors, who say it is an inappropriate celebration of Spain’s colonial legacy.
The CUP party group of councillors in Barcelona has proposed replacing the statue of the Italian explorer who claimed the discovery of the Americas with a symbol of “American resistance against imperialism, oppression and indigenous segregation”.
As well as knocking Columbus himself from the top of his ornate pillar at the start of Barcelona’s La Rambla boulevard, the CUP demands the removal of “all the ornaments at the base of the column which glorify the conquest of America”. ||||| Spain Call to topple Christopher Columbus statue from its Barcelona perch Leftwing councillors say city should not be celebrating his colonial legacy and call for memorial reflecting ‘American resistance to imperialism’ The monument has been part of Barcelona’s skyline since 1888.

A group of anti-capitalist councillors in Barcelona are hoping to topple the statue of Christopher Columbus that has stood at the foot of La Rambla for more than a century, arguing that the city should not be celebrating the explorer’s colonial legacy.
The 197ft (60-metre) high memorial, topped with a bronze statue of the Genoan pointing out to sea, has been part of Barcelona’s skyline since 1888. Its base pays homage to Columbus’s colleagues and his patrons, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella.
In proposals to be submitted to the city council on Friday, the three CUP Capgirem councillors call for the statue to be taken down along with “all the decorations at the base of the column that glorify the conquest of America and its ‘museumification’ through historical interpretation”.
Far more fitting, they say, would be a memorial reflecting “American resistance to imperialism, oppression and indigenous and African-American segregation”.
The image of Columbus is not the only monument on their hitlist: the councillors also want the statue of the merchant and slave trader Antonio López y López, Marquis of Comillas, removed from its plinth outside the post office building. In its place, the trio propose a monument to commemorate the victims of the slave trade.

Their suggestions, however, go well beyond statuary. As well as removing Spanish flags from municipal buildings in Barcelona, they would also like to see 12 October – the national holiday on which Spain celebrates Columbus’s landfall in the Americas – turned into an ordinary working day.
They say the date not only marks “an intolerable act of colonialism and imperialism”, but also “the genocide of the indigenous American population by colonist-conquistadors, and an act of aggressive Spanish nationalism against all the peoples that it oppresses and has oppressed”.
Last is a demand for the council to ban fascist events in the city.
The notion of celebrating 12 October is increasingly distasteful to some in Spain, especially those on the left.
Last year, Barcelona’s mayor, Ada Colau, said the country should not be marking “a genocide” with an €800,000 (£700,000) military parade, while José María González, the Podemos-backed mayor of the southern city of Cádiz, tweeted: “We never discovered America; we massacred and suppressed a continent and its cultures in the name of God.”
||||| | Just a couple of years after the Statue of Liberty was dedicated in New York Harbor, a statue of Christopher Columbus was erected to grace Barcelona's skyline—and while the former represents freedom and friendship, local council members say the latter should be torn down for symbolizing the worst of colonialism, reports the Guardian. The officials are formally requesting that the nearly 200-foot bronze figure, which went up in 1888, be dismantled, as well as all the adornments at the base of the column—including effigies of Columbus' sponsors, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella, per the Telegraph—that "glorify the conquest of America and its 'museumification' through historical interpretation." Instead, the far-left officials say, a better tribute would be some kind of structure signifying "American resistance to imperialism, oppression, and indigenous and African-American segregation." That's not all the CUP Capgirem members are looking to eliminate. Also on the hit list: a statue of a slave trader outside Barcelona's post office, the Spanish flags that adorn municipal buildings, and Columbus Day celebrations on Oct. 12. Other Spanish officials have voiced displeasure at the holiday in the past, with the mayor of the port city of Cadiz tweeting last year, "We never discovered America; we massacred and suppressed a continent and its cultures in the name of God." The request has been met with some scorn by other parties, with one local leader sniffing, "Next thing you know, the CUP will ask for a statue of Kim Jong Un pointing at Ithaca." Meanwhile, Barcelona's deputy mayor said Tuesday that taking down the Columbus statue "is not part of the changes we currently have planned." (A stolen Columbus letter was found in a US institution.) |

The team's earliest exit in the competition itself was its elimination in the first round in 1950, 1958 and most recently in the 2014 FIFA World Cup, after being defeated in both their opening two matches for the first time, versus Italy and Uruguay in Group D. In 1950, four teams remained after the first round, in 1958 eight teams remained and in 2014 sixteen teams remained. In 2010, England suffered its most resounding World Cup defeat (4–1 to Germany) in the Round of 16, after drawing with the United States and Algeria and defeating Slovenia 1–0 in the group stage.

Answer: | Many adherents of Thelema , none more so than Crowley , recognize correlations between Thelemic and other systems of spiritual thought ; most borrow freely from the methods and practices of other traditions , including alchemy , astrology , qabalah , tantra , tarot divination and yoga . |
This looks artificial when you're dealing with a fact witness, but these are fact witnesses who are also reporters, and I am straining to try to find a fair way to do this. I believe that to the extent -- and I've said this now several times -- that the reporters' testimony is necessary in order to invoke the residual hearsay exception under Rule 807, that the defendants have to have an opportunity to examine the reporters on the same topics and subjects that I would allow the plaintiffs to question them on during their case-in-chief, nothing more and nothing less.
Based on that paragraph can we conclude that this sentence is true?

About the CUT IT OUT ® Program
CUT IT OUT®: The Beauty Community Against Domestic Abuse is dedicated to mobilizing salon professionals and others to fight the epidemic of domestic abuse in communities across the U.S. by building awareness and training salon professionals to recognize warning signs and safely refer clients, colleagues, friends and family to local resources.
Why the Salon Professional?
Salon professionals are in a unique position to recognize the signs and symptoms of abuse in their clients and co-workers. Because of the intimate and nurturing nature of the relationship between salon professionals and their clients and co-workers, salon professionals can often spot signs of physical abuse that others may never see.
Research shows that most battered women never call the police or go to a shelter. However, they do usually talk about the abuse with someone they trust. Because salon professionals are skilled and experienced listeners who are personally interested in those around them, many victims suffering from abuse feel comfortable confiding in them - even if they would never tell anyone else. For an abused woman, the salon may be an ideal environment to seek out help because it may be one of the few places she is allowed to go without her abuser.
With proper training on how to recognize the signs of abuse and safely refer victims to help, salon professionals can become invaluable and influential community partners in the fight against domestic abuse. ||||| ILLINOIS-- In Illinois, lawmakers have proposed a new approach to preventing domestic violence. They are looking to the beauty profession to help spot ugly situations at home. Some believe training salon workers could help save lives.
Women go to the salon for a new look, but can end up spilling secrets about struggles at home. New York stylist Kerri Towers has heard it all at the salon.
"It can be very intimate. Once you get to know someone and they keep coming back to you, they trust you," she said.
CBS News
It's that kind of openness that has Illinois lawmakers looking to require a mandatory hour of training for nail technicians and hairdressers to help spot signs of abuse when renewing their license every two years. This would be the first law of its kind in the country.
Towers agrees that training specifically for domestic violence might actually be very helpful.
"I do not know what to spot so training would be a great thing," she said.
National programs like the Professional Beauty Association's "Cut It Out," train stylists to recognize abuse and refer victims to helpful resources. Results can be hard to track.
Safe Horizon is the largest victim services agency in the nation. CEO of Safe Horizon, Ariel Zwang, said abused women are often isolated from friends and family, so they are more likely to open up to a cosmetologist.
"There's something about that salon technician or hair stylist that makes them feel free to talk but not be judged," she said.
Nationwide, more than 20,000 phone calls are placed to domestic violence hotlines. But the Department of Justice estimates 50 percent of cases go unreported.
"With one in four American women experiencing domestic violence, there are going to be women in every salon, every day, who could benefit from a referral to a domestic violence service provider," said Zwang.
If the law passes in Illinois, salon employees would not be blamed for failing to intervene in a domestic violence situation. Safe Horizon pointed out there are resources for victims in every state and online. ||||| Please enable Javascript to watch this video
ROCK ISLAND, Illinois-- Helping with a fresh wash or a new cut is common at this salon in Rock Island. But helping customers talk through some of the most personal things is also part of the job.
"We are neutral. We're not their best friend, we're not their spouse, we're not their child or mother. So they will share things with us," says Lynn Surr, owner of John Taylor salon in Rock Island, Illinois.
"One in four women will be a victim of domestic violence in their lifetime," says Family Resources director Brittney Delp.
A new Illinois law requires all licensed hair dressers to get training to help identify signs of domestic abuse in their clients.
"Any kinds of tender spots on the scalp that are unexplainable or bruising along the hairline too," says Delp.
Stylists will take a one hour class every two years when they get their license renewed.
"I think it's a really good first step. One of the biggest things is having someone that supports you and believes you and senses that something's going on," says Delp.
It's taking the phrase up close and personal to a whole new level.
"The majority of us are women, and I think we're all sisters in a way. And we're all out to look out for one another," says Surr.
It's opening up and having the tools to know what to do next.
The law protects stylists from lawsuits if they report signs of abuse. But it does not require them to report any signs of abuse to police.
The new law was signed by Governor Bruce Rauner in August and goes into effect the first of the year. ||||| Illinois has become the first state to pass a law requiring that licensed hairdressers receive training to recognize in their clients any evidence of domestic and sexual violence, according to a local news channel, WQAD. The law, which was signed by Governor Bruce Rauner in August and takes effect on Jan. 1, 2017, is unprecedented in the salon industry.
According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, “On average, nearly 20 people per minute are physically abused by an intimate partner in the United States. During one year, this equates to more than 10 million women and men.” The physical signs of such abuse — which often go unnoticed — can be more easily caught by vigilant hairdressers, who inspect and touch their clients’ heads as they work. The new law sets stylists up as first responders for abuse, should they choose to assume this role.
According to WQAD, hairdressers will take a one-hour class every two years, when they get their license renewed, which will include instruction on how to identify “tender spots on the scalp that are unexplainable or bruising along the hairline” as they wash hair, massage scalps, and cut, color, and style hair, according to Brittney Delp, supervisor of the Illinois domestic violence services at the nonprofit Family Resources, Inc., in Moline, Ill.
“I think it’s a really good first step,” Delp said. “One of the biggest things is having someone that supports you and believes you and senses that something’s going on.”

Even before the law was passed, the Professional Beauty Association (PBA) launched the Cut It Out campaign to promote the idea of “mobilizing salon professionals and others to fight the epidemic of domestic abuse in communities across the U.S.” It suggested that building awareness among salon professionals could help them “recognize warning signs and safely refer clients, colleagues, friends and family to local resources.”
The site notes that “research shows that most battered women never call the police or go to a shelter. However, they do usually talk about the abuse with someone they trust. … With proper training on how to recognize the signs of abuse and safely refer victims to help, salon professionals can become invaluable and influential community partners in the fight against domestic abuse.”
WQAB and the PBA point out that victims of abuse may be more comfortable confiding in a hairdresser about their their situation, “because salon professionals are skilled and experienced listeners who are personally interested in those around them.” The site also points out that salons are often one of the only places where victims are alone, without their abusers.

“We are neutral. We’re not their best friend, we’re not their spouse, we’re not their child or mother. So they will share things with us,” Lynn Surr, owner of John Taylor Salon in Rock Island, Ill., said in an interview with the news station. “The majority of us [clients and stylists] are women, and I think we’re all sisters in a way, and we’re all out to look out for one another.” That said, the new law does not require that hairdressers report signs of assault. If they choose to report abuse, however, they are legally protected, according to WQAD.
Now, hairdressers in Illinois have the tools to make their clients look and feel great — and potentially save their lives in the process.

| The National Coalition Against Domestic Violence estimates that an incident in which one partner abuses another occurs once every 20 minutes in the US, which translates to more than 10 million incidents a year—and Illinois is hoping its hairdressers can now help those in peril, Yahoo Beauty reports. A law signed by Gov. Bruce Rauner in August and set to go into effect Jan. 1 will require all licensed hairdressers in the state to be trained to recognize signs of domestic abuse and sexual assault via a one-hour class every two years, WQAD reports. That instruction will include ways to ID "tender spots on the scalp that are unexplainable or bruising along the hairline," an Illinois nonprofit supervisor tells Yahoo. The Professional Beauty Association, which runs its own "Cut It Out" abuse awareness campaign, notes customers often confide in salon workers because they're "skilled and experienced listeners ... personally interested in those around them." Plus, for battered women, a salon is one of the few places she's likely to be alone, away from her abuser. "There's something about that salon technician or hairstylist that makes [customers] feel free to talk but not be judged," the CEO of the Safe Horizon victim services group tells CBS News. Hairdressers aren't required to report suspected abuse, but if they decide to, they'll be protected under the new law from lawsuits.

Imagine you are standing in a farm field in central Illinois. The land is so flat you can see for miles and miles. On a clear day, you might see a grain silo 20 miles away. You might think to yourself, it sure is flat around here. If you drive one hundred miles to the south, the landscape changes. In southern Illinois, there are rolling hills. Why do you think this is? What could have caused these features? There are no big rivers that may have eroded and deposited this material. The ground is capable of supporting grass and trees, so wind erosion would not explain it. To answer the question, you need to go back 12,000 years. Around 12,000 years ago, a giant ice sheet covered much of the Midwest United States. Springfield, Illinois, was covered by over a mile of ice. Its hard to imagine a mile thick sheet of ice. The massive ice sheet, called a glacier, caused the features on the land you see today. Where did glaciers go? Where can you see them today? Glaciers are masses of flowing ice. <sep>What covered Illinois 12,00 years ago?<sep>A lake

Q: Renewable Energy Resource Sunlight Sunlight can be used to heat homes. It can also be used to produce electricity. This conversion is made possible by solar cells. However, solar energy may not always be practical. Some areas are just too cloudy. Example Solar panels on the roof of this house generate enough electricity to supply a familys needs. Moving Water Falling water can have a lot of energy. Its energy can be converted into kinetic energy. This energy can turn a turbine and generate electricity. The water may fall naturally over a waterfall or flow through a dam. A drawback of dams is that they flood land upstream. They can also reduce water flow downstream. Either effect may harm ecosystems. Wind Wind is moving air. It has kinetic energy that can do work. Wind turbines change the kinetic energy of the wind to electrical energy. Only certain areas of the world get enough steady wind. Many people also think that wind turbines are noisy and not very nice to look at. <sep>Why doesn't wind energy work for all situations?:<sep>Not all areas get enough steady wind

You will be given a passage, and your task is to generate a Yes/No question that is answerable based on the given passage.
The Andorran government imposes no visa requirements on its visitors and only requires a passport or European Union national identity card for entrance. However, since the country is only accessible via the Schengen countries of Spain or France, entrance is not possible without entering the Schengen area first and the Schengen visa rules can therefore be regarded to apply de facto. Because Andorra is not part of the Schengen area, a multiple entry visa is required to re-enter the Schengen area when leaving Andorra. Foreign visitors looking to stay in Andorra more than 90 days require a residence permit.(2)

Input: The inhabited history of the Las Vegas Valley stretches to 23,000 b.c. , when much of the area was covered by a prehistoric lake. During this period, the indigenous people lived in caves, hunting the mammals that gathered at the shoreline. The landscape of the valley changed dramatically over the next 200 centuries. The glaciers feeding the lake melted away and the lake evaporated. Fossils tell an obscure story of man's slow and sporadic development. Around 3000 b.c. , native Archaic Indians began to develop a lasting hunting and gathering culture. By this time, the valley was in much the same geographic state as it exists in today, with one exception — the presence of artesian springs that bubbled to the surface in several areas. These springs fed a network of streams draining through the Las Vegas Wash to the Colorado River. The areas surrounding the springs were desert oases: sprawling collections of grasses, trees, and wildlife. Many springs lay in areas that would eventually become the center of the modern Las Vegas metropolis. For about 4000 years, the Archaics thrived in a culture that included many signs of early civilization. Signs of even more advancement appeared halfway through the first millennium a.d. , when the Anasazi Indians inhabited the valley. Far more progressive than the Archaics, the Anasazi utilized such formal agricultural techniques as irrigation to assist their harvest. This permitted the Anasazi to achieve a benchmark of advanced society — the ability to live in permanent shelters year-round without need to follow wildlife. Mysteriously, the Anasazi vanished from the valley around a.d. <sep>Where did the indigenous people of Las Vegas hunted?<sep>By the shoreline of the lake

LONDON, England (CNN) -- British filmmaker, screenwriter and playwright, Mike Leigh has been in the movie business for over 35 years. Leigh on screenwriting: "I don't make a conventional screenplay ... it's a whole organic process." In that time, he has been nominated for five Oscars, as well as winning the Best Director award at Cannes Film Festival for "Naked" in 1993, the Palme d'Or there for "Secrets & Lies" in 1996 and the Leono d'Oro at Venice Film Festival in 2004 for "Vera Drake." Famous for his fierce independence (read refusal to work in Hollywood), Leigh's work is known for gritty realism and a focus on underprivileged sections of British society. Another of Leigh's calling cards is an unconventional approach to screenwriting. "The Screening Room" caught up with the veteran director at the International Screenwriters' Festival in the UK earlier this year to ask him more about his approach to making films. The Screening Room: Why is this festival so important to you? Mike Leigh: I am a filmmaker who is both a writer and director and I have this way of making films where the writing and the actors and the shooting is all combined together. I don't make a conventional screenplay ... it's a whole organic process. TSR: What do you think other scriptwriters can learn from you? ML: I think screenwriters who, because of the politics and economics of the film industry, are forced to work in a much more conventional way, are always fascinated to discuss with me how I work. TSR: There is this romantic idea that screenwriting has to be a painful, solitary experience. That's not what you experience, though. <sep>Was Mike Leigh an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter?<sep>Yes
