Flowing water causes sediment to move. Flowing water can erode both rocks and soil. You have already learned that materials can dissolve in water. With enough time, even rocks can be dissolved by water. This process happens really slowly. It may take over a million years to dissolve a rock. It doesnt matter how big the rock is. With enough time, flowing water can dissolve it. Moving water also has the ability to move small pieces of rock and soil. How can water move a rock? Doesnt it need energy? Of course, water gets its energy because it is moving. Moving water has kinetic energy. Things that have more energy can do more work. When water stops moving it will have no energy. It will no longer be able to move the rock and soil. When this happens the rock and soil will settle to the bottom of the calm water. Scientists call this process deposition. <sep>How long might it take for water to dissolve a rock?<sep>Few days | No |

Ex Input:
She led the way into the cheerful schoolroom, where big girls and little girls were sitting about, amusing themselves in the quiet of a long Sunday afternoon. Several of the younger children ran to her as she came in, and stood holding fast to the folds of her black habit, staring up at the strangers, while she explained the kind of instruction given, the system, and the order reigning in each department. Finally, she persuaded a little girl, only six years old, to take her dusky face out of the long flowing veil of the nun, and show how quickly she could read a sentence that Sister Winifred wrote on the blackboard. Then others were called on, and gave examples of their accomplishments in easy arithmetic and spelling. The children must have been very much bored with themselves that stormy Sunday, for they entered into the examination with a quite unnatural zest. Two of the elder girls recited, and some specimens of penmanship and composition were shown. The delicate complexion of the little nun flushed to a pretty wild-rose pink as these pupils of hers won the Colonel's old fashioned compliments. <sep>What gender were the children who took the examination?<sep>They were all girls

The bar was manned by an expensive humanoid robot. It turned toward Sarah's wave and acknowledged her with a nod, moments later setting a fluted glass of sparkling liquid in front of her. I marveled at the robot's smoothness and coordination. Clearly, it was a high-end model. Sarah transferred the glass to my free hand and pulled me away from the bar for more introductions, with Alexis trailing after us. I spent the evening listening, mostly. Listening and stuffing my face with all the bits of fine food provided. No one minded; Sarah's inner circle was content to fill our circle of couches with plenty of chatter. Ray, a plump man who was grey where he wasn't bald. Zheng, short and dark and lean, with a very intense gaze. He made me a little uncomfortable. Kishori, petite, her hair strung out in a series of braids that reached nearly to her waist. I categorized them based on their appearances, hoping I'd be able to pick them out of the crowd again later. Most of their chatter was meaningless to me—stories of day-to-day activities, how so-and-so had been seen in so-and-so's table at lunch and my wasn't that a surprise, and why hadn't the chef concocted this delectable a selection of appetizers for the dance the other night, but of course those rolled meat pastries reminded one of the pastries back on Earth, didn't they, and this was somehow an interesting fact. After the first half-hour, I stopped expending effort to keep names and stories and gossip straight. I wasn't learning anything useful. I could have started asking questions, but I wanted to get my bearings first. Tonight was for observation. I didn't bother trying to seek out a different group of potentially more interesting people, though. They all looked the same: clusters of social butterflies surrounded by the less apt, the hangers-on, the circle with whom the gossip was shared. <sep>Who are two members of Sarah's inner circle?<sep>Zheng

Chinese Influences: The Japanese were forced out of the Korean peninsula in the sixth century, but not before the Koreans had bequeathed to the Yamato court copies of the sacred images and scriptures of Chinese Buddhism. Just as Christianity introduced Mediterranean culture into northern Europe, so Buddhism brought Chinese culture into Japanese society. Throughout the seventh and eighth centuries numerous Japanese monks, scholars, and artists made the perilous trip west across the Sea of Japan to study Chinese religion, history, music, literature, and painting — later to be brought back for further development in Japan. An outstanding figure of this time was Prince Shotoku, who in 604 developed the "Seventeen-Article Constitution," outlining a code of human conduct and the ideals of state as a basic law for the nation. He also established relations with the Sui dynasty in China. Through him, the Japanese imperial court developed Chinese patterns of centralized government, with its formal bureaucracy of eight court ranks. The Chinese calendar was used to calculate the year of Japan's foundation by counting back the 1,260 years of the Chinese cosmological cycle. Thus, 660 b.c. is still the official date celebrated nationwide. At this early stage in its history Japan was already (for the most part) only nominally ruled by the emperor. De facto power was exercised by the militarily and economically strongest family. The Sogas had promoted Buddhism as an imperially sanctioned counterweight to the native Shinto religion, along with the new Chinese customs, to weaken the influence of their more conservative rivals. But they in turn were ousted in a.d. 645 by Nakatomi Kamatari, founder of the great Fujiwara clan, which was to rule Japanese affairs for hundreds of years and provide prominent advisers to the emperor even up to the 19th century. <sep>The main country that influenced Japan in the region<sep>Mediterranean

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 was the name of the company after it reversed the spin off?, Context: In 1987, Apple spun off its software business as Claris. It was given the code and rights to several applications, most notably MacWrite, MacPaint, and MacProject. In the late 1980s, Claris released a number of revamped software titles; the result was the "Pro" series, including MacDraw Pro, MacWrite Pro, and FileMaker Pro. To provide a complete office suite, Claris purchased the rights to the Informix Wingz spreadsheet program on the Mac, renaming it Claris Resolve, and added the new presentation software Claris Impact. By the early 1990s, Claris applications were shipping with the majority of consumer-level Macintoshes and were extremely popular. In 1991, Claris released ClarisWorks, which soon became their second best-selling application. When Claris was reincorporated back into Apple in 1998, ClarisWorks was renamed AppleWorks beginning with version 5.0.

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Remote workers: the state of Vermont wants you.
Starting in 2019, Vermont will pay people who move there and work remotely for an out-of-state employer $10,000 over two years to cover relocation expenses, coworking memberships, computers, internet, and other work-related expenses. Gov. Phil Scott signed the bill into law on Wednesday (May 30).
The northeastern US state of 625,000 people has gorgeous landscapes, great ski slopes—and a rapidly shrinking tax base. Vermont is aging faster than the rest of the US population, an economic crisis that has prompted some creative solutions from state officials. In addition to the remote worker plan, Vermont has also launched a program called “Stay to Stay Weekends” aimed at convincing the state’s 13 million annual tourists to relocate there. Visitors who plan their trips during one of the four designated weekends from April to October can network with employers, entrepreneurs, and realtors.
The first-come, first-served remote worker grants are only available to new residents who relocate on or after Jan. 1, 2019. Vermont has budgeted grants for about 100 new remote workers in the first three years of the program and about 20 additional workers per year for every year after. But if you really want to make sure that life in the Green Mountain State is for you, schedule a visit in the winter first. ||||| Calling all remote workers: Vermont has a deal for you.
The state has a new law that will pay workers to move there and work remotely. Governor Phil Scott signed the legislation on Wednesday.
Eligible workers can get up to $5,000 a year, not to exceed $10,000 over two years, through the state's new remote worker grant program.
The money can be used on qualified expenses, including costs to relocate, necessary computer equipment and software, internet access and co-working memberships.

Vermont has a small and aging population, according to Joan Goldstein, commissioner of economic development for Vermont. "We recognize the need to recruit people to the state, and this is one of those efforts." She said her office is already getting inquiries from interested workers.
To be eligible, a worker must be a full-time employee for an out-of-state business, work primarily from home or a co-working space in Vermont, and become a full-time resident on or after January 1, 2019.
Interested workers better act fast. Funds will be distributed on a first come, first served basis, and there are annual limits to the grants.
For 2019, total grants cannot exceed $125,000. The cap increases in 2020 to $250,000, then drops back down to $125,000 in 2021.

The US labor market has been thriving recently, making it difficult to retain workers. Government data also shows people are moving less than they have in the past.
Companies have been getting more generous and creative to compete for talent. Some have been increasing pay and changing payroll practices, while others are beefing up benefits, like offering help paying down student loan debts and flexible schedules.
But there can be tax implications for living in one state and working in another.
"You will have to pay income tax in Vermont even if you earn it outside of the state," said Goldstein. "The whole idea of getting more people is because we need to broaden the tax base ... but if you are moving from New York, taxes are less here." ||||| This policy is intended to address Vermont's aging population. While the state may be rich in beautiful landscapes and maple syrup, it has a rapidly shrinking tax base.
"Vermont continues to age, and age faster than the nation as a whole," writes Art Woolf for the Burlington Free Press. "Over the past quarter of a century, the median age nationally has increased by almost five years to 37.8 while Vermont's has increased by 10 years."
This trend has made Vermont one of the oldest states in the nation.
In addition to the remote worker grant program, the bill also launches the state's Stay-to-Stay initiative. The program, aimed at convincing the state's 13 million annual tourists to permanently relocate to Vermont, will be organized by the Vermont Department of Tourism and Marketing and will connect visitors with local employers, entrepreneurs, community leaders and potential neighbors.
"We have about 16,000 fewer workers than we did in 2009. That's why expanding our workforce is one of the top priorities of my administration," Scott said in a statement. "We must think outside the box to help more Vermonters enter the labor force and attract more working families and young professionals to Vermont. That's exactly what the Department of Tourism and Marketing did with this program for out-of-state visitors who may be interested in living full-time in Vermont, and I'm excited to see it move forward."
The initiative will take place over four weekends and will be piloted in three communities. One of those selected communities is Brattleboro, Vermont. "The one thing we need more of in Vermont is people," says Adam Grinold, executive director of the Brattleboro Development Credit Corporation. "We need more visitors, we need more employees, we need more business owners. We need more people."

Student: | Vermont wants to pay you up to $10,000 to move there, and, yes, there's a catch. To qualify for the funds, you need to be a full-time employee of an out-of-state business who works from home. The unusual proposal, which comes with a new law signed by Gov. Phil Scott on Wednesday, aims to add to Vermont's small and aging population of 625,000 at a time when a thriving US labor market is making it difficult to retain workers, reports CNN. "We recognize the need to recruit people to the state, and this is one of those efforts," Joan Goldstein, the state's commissioner of economic development, says of the Remote Worker Grant Program, which will provide up to $10,000 over two years to full-time workers who relocate to the state but work remotely for an out-of-state employer. The funds are meant to cover the cost of moving, computers, internet, and other work-related expenses. Interested workers will want to act fast. The state has only budgeted for 100 grants to be given out over the next three years, on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning on Jan. 1, 2019, and Goldstein says her office is already receiving inquiries. That should please Scott, who notes the state has "about 16,000 fewer workers than we did in 2009," per CNBC. He hopes a separate state program will also help. The Stay to Stay Weekends program aims to convince Vermont's 13 million annual tourists to settle in Vermont for good by offering networking events with employers, entrepreneurs, and realtors, across four weekends this year, reports Quartz. The second kicks off Friday. |

Ex Input:
Where would Drakes ships ambush the Portuguese?, Context: Englishman Sir Francis Drake probably located the island on the final leg of his circumnavigation of the world (1577–1580). Further visits by other English explorers followed, and, once Saint Helena’s location was more widely known, English ships of war began to lie in wait in the area to attack Portuguese India carracks on their way home. In developing their Far East trade, the Dutch also began to frequent the island. The Portuguese and Spanish soon gave up regularly calling at the island, partly because they used ports along the West African coast, but also because of attacks on their shipping, the desecration of their chapel and religious icons, destruction of their livestock and destruction of plantations by Dutch and English sailors.
Ex Output:
Saint Helena
Ex Input:
What were the Karma Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug?, Context: The Ming court appointed three Princes of Dharma (法王) and five Princes (王), and granted many other titles, such as Grand State Tutors (大國師) and State Tutors (國師), to the important schools of Tibetan Buddhism, including the Karma Kagyu, Sakya, and Gelug. According to Wang Jiawei and Nyima Gyaincain, leading officials of these organs were all appointed by the central government and were subject to the rule of law. Yet Van Praag describes the distinct and long-lasting Tibetan law code established by the Phagmodru ruler Tai Situ Changchub Gyaltsen as one of many reforms to revive old Imperial Tibetan traditions.

Why did organic matter become black shale?, Context: The climate of the Cretaceous is less certain and more widely disputed. Higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are thought to have caused the world temperature gradient from north to south to become almost flat: temperatures were about the same across the planet. Average temperatures were also higher than today by about 10°C. In fact, by the middle Cretaceous, equatorial ocean waters (perhaps as warm as 20 °C in the deep ocean) may have been too warm for sea life,[dubious – discuss][citation needed] and land areas near the equator may have been deserts despite their proximity to water. The circulation of oxygen to the deep ocean may also have been disrupted.[dubious – discuss] For this reason, large volumes of organic matter that was unable to decompose accumulated, eventually being deposited as "black shale".
Ex Output:
| unable to decompose

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
[EX Q]: What has been a public health problem in developed countries in the past?, Context: The M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) includes four other TB-causing mycobacteria: M. bovis, M. africanum, M. canetti, and M. microti. M. africanum is not widespread, but it is a significant cause of tuberculosis in parts of Africa. M. bovis was once a common cause of tuberculosis, but the introduction of pasteurized milk has almost completely eliminated this as a public health problem in developed countries. M. canetti is rare and seems to be limited to the Horn of Africa, although a few cases have been seen in African emigrants. M. microti is also rare and is seen almost only in immunodeficient people, although its prevalence may be significantly underestimated.
[EX A]: tuberculosis
[EX Q]: Who believed a typical female-bodied person who is attracted to female-bodied persons would have masculine attributes?, Context: The earliest writers on sexual orientation usually understood it to be intrinsically linked to the subject's own sex. For example, it was thought that a typical female-bodied person who is attracted to female-bodied persons would have masculine attributes, and vice versa. This understanding was shared by most of the significant theorists of sexual orientation from the mid nineteenth to early twentieth century, such as Karl Heinrich Ulrichs, Richard von Krafft-Ebing, Magnus Hirschfeld, Havelock Ellis, Carl Jung, and Sigmund Freud, as well as many gender-variant homosexual people themselves. However, this understanding of homosexuality as sexual inversion was disputed at the time, and, through the second half of the twentieth century, gender identity came to be increasingly seen as a phenomenon distinct from sexual orientation. Transgender and cisgender people may be attracted to men, women, or both, although the prevalence of different sexual orientations is quite different in these two populations. An individual homosexual, heterosexual or bisexual person may be masculine, feminine, or androgynous, and in addition, many members and supporters of lesbian and gay communities now see the "gender-conforming heterosexual" and the "gender-nonconforming homosexual" as negative stereotypes. Nevertheless, studies by J. Michael Bailey and Kenneth Zucker found a majority of the gay men and lesbians sampled reporting various degrees of gender-nonconformity during their childhood years.
[EX A]: The earliest writers
[EX Q]: Which word used in singular has nowadays the meaning of Grand Old Party?, Context: The ancient history of Kathmandu is described in its traditional myths and legends. According to Swayambhu Purana, present-day Kathmandu was once a huge and deep lake names "Nagdaha" as it was full of snakes. The lake was cut drained by Bodhisatwa Manjusri with his sword and the water was evacuated out from there and he established a city called Manjupattan and made Dharmakar the ruler of the valley land. After sometimes, a demon named Banasur closed the outlet and the valley was again a lake. Then lots Krishna came to Nepal, killed Banasur and again drained out water. He has brought some Gops with him and made Bhuktaman the king of Nepal.
[EX A]: | Gops

If Murray continues to pursue baseball, he could be on track to become the third Heisman winner to play in the Majors, following in the footsteps of 1985 Heisman winner Bo Jackson and 1952 winner Vic Janowicz. Janowicz played in 83 games for the Pirates in 1953 and 1954 while Jackson played eight seasons in the Majors for the Royals, White Sox and Angels. He even represented the Royals in the 1989 MLB All-Star Game.
Clearly, Murray has visions of following in Jackson's footsteps:

Either way, Murray has a chance to be part of a select and special group of athletes.

But it was what the gridiron taught him on June 2, 2016, that sent him on a collision course toward his crowning achievement in Times Square on Saturday night. Two years ago, Murray's patience, trust and faith were all tested.
This weekend, they were rewarded.
In what could be his final season playing college football, Murray on Saturday was named the country's top player, honored with the Heisman Trophy. After throwing for more than 4,000 yards and 40 touchdowns this season, he beat out fellow quarterbacks Tua Tagovailoa of Alabama and Dwayne Haskins of Ohio State.
Murray is the seventh player to win the Heisman in Oklahoma history, tying the Sooners with Notre Dame and Ohio State for the most winners by a school.
"This is crazy. This is an honor. Something that I'll never forget, something I'll always treasure for the rest of my life," Murray said during a speech in which he praised his family, teammates, coaches, trainers and nutritional staff for helping him accomplish the feat.
As crazy as the win was to Murray, it may have been even crazier for those who followed Alabama all season. In August, just before Nick Saban named him the Crimson Tide's starting quarterback, Tagovailoa was the betting favorite to win the Heisman. He remained the favorite up until earlier this week, when suddenly oddsmakers favored Murray.
The shift coincided with Murray's surge down the regular-season stretch as the Sooners turned to him and its offense to bail out a leaky defense. Tagovailoa also picked a bad time to have his worst game of the season, throwing two interceptions in the SEC championship game against Georgia and leaving early with a sprained ankle.
By Saturday's ceremony, Tagovailoa ditched the boot and scooter he had been using all week to get around.
"It showed that we had tremendous progress with how we were moving within our treatment, and I was able to get the thumbs-up to go ahead and get out of the boot," said Tagovailoa, who expects to play in the College Football Playoff semifinal against No. 4 Oklahoma on Dec. 29.
This is the second straight year Oklahoma has had a Heisman winner, with Murray following in the footsteps of Baker Mayfield. It also marks the first time since 1945-46 that different players from the same school won the award in back-to-back years (not counting Reggie Bush's vacated Heisman for USC in 2005, which followed his teammate Matt Leinart).
Mayfield, who went on to become the first overall pick in this spring's NFL draft, wrote on Instagram: "AND THATS WHAT WE CALL BACK TO BACK. YOU DESERVE IT K1, So proud of you man. Enjoy every second of it. Absolutely nobody can put a ceiling on you.... Football or baseball, follow your dreams brotha."
While in New York, Murray received a "special little gift" from Mayfield with a note of encouragement in anticipation of the big night. Another A-list sports celebrity, baseball free agent Bryce Harper, texted his own well-wishes to Murray.
Before leading the Sooners this fall to a 12-1 record, a Big 12 Championship and an appearance in the playoff later this month, Murray was drafted ninth overall by the Oakland Athletics in this year's MLB draft, agreeing to a $4.66 million signing bonus. Like Harper, he is represented by superagent Scott Boras.
Although Murray has another season of eligibility remaining and is also considered a potential first-round pick in the NFL draft, he has said he is prepared to give up football to focus on baseball.
"As of right now, everybody knows I'm playing [baseball]," Murray said, speaking to reporters after the award ceremony. "I'm not really focusing on it right now."
If Murray does pursue baseball as planned, he could become only the third player to win the Heisman and play in the majors, after Bo Jackson and Vic Janowicz.
Oklahoma's late-season Heisman campaign for Murray actually hearkened back Jackson, the 1985 Heisman winner who went on to star in both the NFL and MLB, and his "Bo Knows" Nike ads.
The A's referenced the campaign in a congratulatory tweet.
Turns out, he knew.

"I'd like to do both if possible,'' Murray said Friday about playing baseball and football. "But I don't know how possible that is."
Back in 2016, starting at quarterback at Oklahoma was virtually impossible for Murray. At the time, his primary focus was on keeping his mind clear of doubt and proving his value to himself and those within the Sooners' sphere.
It was on June 2 that year when Oklahoma found out Mayfield, a walk-on-turned-transfer, would have a year of eligibility following his 2016 season. The day before, the conference had ruled Mayfield would be ineligible for 2017. The news of the reversal stunned school administrators and floored Murray and his family, who only months prior had agreed he would transfer from Texas A&M.;
"That had a direct effect on Kyler," Oklahoma coach Lincoln Riley said. "When we brought him in, there was an expectation that Baker was only going to be there one year.
"So a lot of people, a lot of families, wouldn't have handled that well. And he did. His family did. They understood and he just said, 'Whatever happens, happens. I'm here to work and get better, and the opportunity will come at the right time and I'll keep doing that.'"
That opportunity wouldn't come his first season in Norman, Oklahoma, and it didn't come the year after.
With a benched Murray looking on during the 2017 season, Mayfield lit up opposing offenses in a runaway Heisman campaign.
play 1:15 Murray's Heisman season filled with highlights After throwing for 40 touchdowns and leading the Sooners to the Big 12 title, Kyler Murray got Oklahoma back to the CFP.
"As hard as it may seem, which it was definitely difficult at times when I wasn't playing, and I wanted to be out there, I just trusted the process," Murray said. "It was easy to sit behind Bake because obviously he was so deserving of what he was doing. It wasn't like he wasn't doing his job. He did everything and more for us.
"So for me, it was easy. Just getting to learn behind him, and what he did at Oklahoma is part of the reason I'm standing up here today."
Perhaps the most poignant part of Murray's celebration speech was when he addressed Riley, referencing the challenge of remaining patient, and maintaining faith and trust in the coach.
"Nobody really knows how hard these past couple of years have been for me but you and my family," Murray said as he and Riley visibly held back their emotions. "Through it all, you pushed me, you kept me going, kept me focused. You pushed me harder than any coach ever has. I just want to say thank you for believing in me and allowing me to be the quarterback of this team and the leader of this team."
Murray's Heisman win was far from a foregone conclusion, but with 517 first-place votes and 2,167 points, he still ended up with a fairly comfortable margin of 296 points over Tagovailoa, while Haskins was a distant third.
Murray was named on 92 percent of the Heisman ballots, third most all time. Of all ballots filed, 85 percent came in after the SEC championship game.
In addition to his passing stats, Murray ran for 892 yards and 11 touchdowns. His 51 touchdowns responsible for equaled Haskins for the most in the Football Bowl Subdivision.
When Murray faces No. 1 Alabama in three weeks, he'll be on pace to become the first FBS starting quarterback to average at least 300 passing yards and 60 rushing yards per game.
"I didn't expect to put up the numbers and the touchdowns and all that stuff, but I definitely knew if I trusted in myself and did my job, then we would end up in a good position," Murray said. "When you do things right and you do things for the team, your individual goals, they come."

Output: | Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray won the Heisman Trophy Saturday after a stellar year: 4,053 yards, 40 touchdowns, a 12-1 record, and a playoff berth for the Sooners. But maybe the most remarkable nugget of all: He was drafted by baseball's Oakland A's earlier this year—he went ninth overall—and will be at spring training in a few months, reports USA Today. Murray has said for a while now that he plans to play baseball over football, notes the Washington Post, though he would likely be a first-round draft pick in the NFL. Ahead of the ceremony this week, the clear-cut choice seemed to be not quite as clear cut. "I'd like to do both if possible," he said, per ESPN. "But I don't know how possible that is." Immediately after the Heisman ceremony, Murray chose not to dwell on it. "As of right now, everybody knows I'm playing [baseball]," Murray told reporters. "I'm not really focusing on it right now." Only two Heisman winners have gone on to play in the baseball Majors—Bo Jackson in the 1980s and Vic Janowicz in the 1950s, per MLB.com. (Tim Tebow is trying to join that club, too.) |

TRENTON — Same-sex marriages can begin Monday in New Jersey on a provisional basis, the state Supreme Court ruled today.
The court will not make a final ruling on same-sex marriage rights until next year. But in the meantime, it upheld an order by a trial judge allowing civil marriages for gay couples to start Monday.
"The public interest does not favor a stay," the Supreme Court ruled in a 7-0 decision by Chief Justice Stuart Rabner today. "State officials shall therefore permit same-sex couples, who are otherwise eligible, to enter into civil marriage beginning on October 21, 2013."
Although the Supreme Court could change its stance later, for now, the decision is a victory for thousands of gay couples in New Jersey, who will be able to marry in-state for the first time starting next week.
SEE COMPLETE RULING BELOW
And it’s a setback for Gov. Chris Christie, an opponent of same-sex marriage who says only "one man and one woman" should be able to wed.
At a campaign event at a restaurant in Dover, Christie ignored a reporter's request for comment about the ruling.
Michael Drewniak, Christie's spokesman, later issued a brief statement.
"The Supreme Court has made its determination," Drewniak said. "While the Governor firmly believes that this determination should be made by all the people of the State of New Jersey, he has instructed the Department of Health to cooperate with all municipalities in effectuating the order of the Superior Court under the applicable law."
The court's ruling triggered a flood of statements from gay rights groups and lawmakers. Several municipalities also reported same-sex couples arriving at local clerk's offices to try to apply for licenses to get married Monday.
Several same-sex couples are already vying to be the first married in New Jersey. Louise Walpin and Marsha Shapiro of Monmouth Junction, the lead plaintiffs in the lawsuit that led to today's court ruling, plan to marry at 12:01 a.m. Monday in the home of Sen. Raymond Lesniak (D-Union), one of the sponsors of New Jersey's same-sex marriage bill.
In Lambertville, Councilwoman Beth Asaro and Joanne Schailey -- the first same-sex couple to obtain a civil union in 2006 -- also plan to marry early Monday.
"We thought it wouldn't even happen in our lifetime and here it is," Asaro said.
The couple heard about today's ruling via a text message.
"We got the text and we just hugged and cried," Schailey said.
Garden State Equality, a statewide gay rights group, called on supporters to continue pushing for gay marriage.
“We have been fighting an uphill battle for the dignity of marriage for years and we are finally within sight of the summit. However, this is not the time to rest, it is the time to recommit, it is the time to pull out all the stops,” said Troy Stevenson, executive director of Garden State Equality.
Ron Carty rushed down to Asbury Park's City Hall right after he heard the state Supreme Court refused to issue a stay today.
But to his disappointment, he couldn't get an application because his partner, Jerry Biga, was not present and they didn't have a witness.
Carty and his partner have been together 20 years and had a civil union ceremony 10 years ago, but Carty said he never thought he'd see same-sex marriage in New Jersey.
"Not in my lifetime. I'm so shocked. I'm really shocked," said the 61-year-old retired postal worker. "It's just a good thing. I still can't believe it."
Asbury Park city manager Terry Reidy said the earliest the city can perform a ceremony is 9 a.m. Monday, 72 hours after the first application was taken today. In all, the city took four applications by late afternoon but the clerk's office fielded a number of phone calls from people asking about the process.
"This means discrimination against same-sex couples who are in love with each other and who want to get married is now over," Reidy said.
Opponents to gay marriage were disappointed in the state Supreme Court's ruling.
"Court after court is misinterpreting and misreading the law in order to get the result that they wish, which is to destroy the historical definition of marriage. Once you do that by a judicial fiat, no longer will you be able to limit marriage just to two people of the same gender," said John Tomicki, president of the New Jersey Coalition to Preserve and Protect Marriage.
"We would still wish that the question were decided not by the court, not by the Legislature, but by a referendum," Tomicki said.
Christie went to court to challenge a lower-court ruling that legalized gay marriage in New Jersey last month, and had asked the Supreme Court to postpone the first same-sex weddings until he was finished appealing.
Superior Court Judge Mary Jacobson ruled Sept. 27 that same-sex couples were being denied equal rights and hundreds of federal benefits in the wake of a landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court in June striking down the Defense of Marriage Act.
She declined last week to issue a stay, which would have delayed the first same-sex marriages planned for Monday, saying Christie was likely to lose his appeal and that gay couples “would suffer many hardships of constitutional magnitude if the stay were to be issued, but the state has not demonstrated how it would suffer in any meaningful way.”
The judge added that California state officials were not harmed as gay marriage rights were extended, withdrawn and then extended again to their residents over the last five years. “The California experience teaches that marriage can be extended to same-sex couples in a state and then removed without dire consequences to the state,” she wrote.
Six families and the gay-rights group Garden State Equality argued that the U.S. Supreme Court had extended more than 1,000 federal tax and legal benefits to same-sex couples, but only if they were in “lawful marriages.”
New Jersey was left out because it only allowed civil unions, they said, and Jacobson agreed.
Christie argues that the Obama administration is the one infringing on gay couples’ equal rights and should be sued. Federal agencies are denying marriage benefits to civil unions even though New Jersey considers them to be equal, the Christie administration argues. The governor also says same-sex marriage should be put on the ballot in New Jersey.
The Supreme Court agreed to fast-track Christie’s appeal and has scheduled oral arguments for Jan. 6 or 7. On a parallel track, advocates are pushing state lawmakers to find the votes to override Christie’s veto of a gay marriage bill last year. The deadline before the bill expires is Jan. 14.
The state’s highest court has already ruled that same-sex couples in New Jersey must get all the same rights and benefits as opposite-sex married couples, but in that 2006 case, Lewis v. Harris, they stopped short of calling for marriage rights. The Democratic-controlled Legislature at the time set up civil unions instead.
Star-Ledger staff writers Kelly Heyboer, Susan K. Livio, MaryAnn Spoto, Adya Beasley and Jenna Portnoy contributed to this report.

||||| Same-sex marriages will begin within days in New Jersey after the state's highest court ruled unanimously Friday to uphold a lower-court order that gay weddings must start Monday and to deny a delay that was sought by the state popular Republican governor, Chris Christie.
A judge on the lower court had ruled last month that New Jersey must recognize same-sex marriage and set Monday as the date to allow gay weddings. Christie, a Republican who is considered a possible 2016 presidential candidate, appealed the decision and asked for the start date to be put on hold while the state Supreme Court decides the case.
"The state has advanced a number of arguments, but none of them overcome this reality: Same-sex couples who cannot marry are not treated equally under the law today," the court ruled. "The harm to them is real, not abstract or speculative."
His administration also asked that the state's top court take up the appeal of the lower-court ruling, something it agreed to do last week. Oral arguments are expected Jan. 6 or 7.
Thirteen states, including most in the Northeast, now recognize gay marriage.
Whether gay couples should have the right to marry in New Jersey has been the subject of a battle in the state's courts and Legislature over the past decade. There has been a flurry of movements in both venues since June, when the U.S. Supreme Court invalidated key parts of a federal law that prevented the federal government from recognizing same-sex unions.
Since then, gay rights advocates have asked New Jersey judges to force the state to recognize same-sex marriage, arguing that the state's current policy of granting gay couples civil unions but not marriage licenses amounts to denying those couples federal protections such as Social Security survivor benefits and the right to file tax returns jointly.
Since July, gay rights groups have also engaged in an intense campaign aimed at persuading lawmakers to override Christie's 2012 veto of a bill that would have allowed gay marriage. To get an override, the Legislature must act by Jan. 14.
Christie says he favors civil unions and says that allowing same-sex marriage is something that should be done only by a public vote, not the state's judges or lawmakers.
As Christie's appeal is considered, the state government will have to allow weddings and work quickly through some logistical issues: Does the Monday deadline apply to when marriage licenses must be issued, or when ceremonies can take place, for instance? Normally, there's a three-day waiting period in New Jersey between getting a license and tying the knot.
And are gay and lesbian couples that have wed legally elsewhere automatically considered married in New Jersey, or do they have to fill out forms and pay fees, too?
A state lawmaker had asked the state attorney general's office Thursday whether the normal 72-hour waiting period would apply for same-sex couples seeking to get married Monday if no stay was granted. Several New Jersey towns had begun accepting marriage license applications from same-sex couples in case the court didn't block the weddings from starting Monday.
After those topics are decided, another big hypothetical question looms: What happens to the status of same-sex marriages entered into now if the court decides next year that the state does not have to grant marriage to gay couples?
Despite the uncertainty, couples _ some of whom have been together for decades _ have been planning to have ceremonies as soon as they would be recognized by the state government. Lambertville Mayor David DelVecchio said he's planning to lead the state's first legally recognized same-sex wedding, between Beth Asaro and Joanne Schailey. DelVecchio also performed the ceremony in 2007 when the couple became among New Jersey's first to be granted a civil union.

Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
See one example below:
Problem: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Solution: Russian Revolution
Explanation: This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
Problem: What formation is created in each bundle seperating the xylem and phloem, Context: In the dicotyledons, the bundles in the very young stem are arranged in an open ring, separating a central pith from an outer cortex. In each bundle, separating the xylem and phloem, is a layer of meristem or active formative tissue known as cambium. By the formation of a layer of cambium between the bundles (interfascicular cambium), a complete ring is formed, and a regular periodical increase in thickness results from the development of xylem on the inside and phloem on the outside. The soft phloem becomes crushed, but the hard wood persists and forms the bulk of the stem and branches of the woody perennial. Owing to differences in the character of the elements produced at the beginning and end of the season, the wood is marked out in transverse section into concentric rings, one for each season of growth, called annual rings.
Solution: | a layer of meristem or active formative tissue |

The 1933 double eagle, a $20 gold piece with a mysterious history that involves a president, a king and a Secret Service sting operation, was auctioned Tuesday last night for a record price for a coin, $7.59 million, nearly double the previous record. The anonymous buyer, believed to be an individual collector who lives in the United States, made the winning bid in a fiercely contested nine-minute auction at Sotheby's in Manhattan. Eight bidders were joined by 500 coin collectors and dealers in an auction house audience seemingly devoid of celebrity bidders, while an additional 534 observers followed the bidding on eBay. As auction houses prepare for their fall seasons in an uncertain economy, the sale price "suggests that the marketplace for important items is enormously strong," said David Redden, a vice chairman at Sotheby's, who was the auctioneer. "This is an astonishing new record for a coin," he said. In an unprecedented move, the auction proceeds were split by the U.S. Mint and a London coin dealer, Stephen Fenton, who had won that right in court after having been arrested by Secret Service agents for trying to sell the coin in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan in 1996. Henrietta Holsman Fore, the director of the U.S. Mint, who witnessed the sale, said, "The monies we receive will go toward helping to pay down the debt and to fight the war on terrorism." Fenton commented that the double eagle had been on "a long historic journey, with a very satisfying ending." He added, "I am thrilled with the price." The previous numismatic record holder was an 1804 U.S. silver dollar, which sold for $4.14 million in 1999. Sotheby's partner in the one-lot auction was Stack's Rare Coins, with which it shared the customary 15 percent commission. "I have never seen as much interest in the sale of any coin in my 30 years in the business," said Lawrence R. Stack, the company's managing director. "This is the Mona Lisa of coins," said Beth Deisher, editor of Coin World, the largest weekly coin publication in the United States, with a circulation of 85,000. "It is unique. Forbidden fruit." Collectors' Web sites have surged with speculation about the sale price, and enthusiasts even organized betting pools. <sep>How many witnessed the sale online?<sep>508

The uterus (from Latin ``uterus'', plural uteri) or womb is a major female hormone-responsive secondary sex organ of the reproductive system in humans and most other mammals. In the human, the lower end of the uterus, the cervix, opens into the vagina, while the upper end, the fundus, is connected to the fallopian tubes. It is within the uterus that the fetus develops during gestation. In the human embryo, the uterus develops from the paramesonephric ducts which fuse into the single organ known as a simplex uterus. The uterus has different forms in many other animals and in some it exists as two separate uteri known as a duplex uterus. | is a uterus and a womb the same thing? |

Q: Earths magnetic field helps protect Earth and its organisms. It protects us from harmful particles given off by the sun. Most of the particles are attracted to the north and south magnetic poles. This is where Earths magnetic field is strongest. This is also where relatively few organisms live. Another benefit of Earths magnetic field is its use for navigation. People use compasses to detect Earths magnetic north pole. Knowing this helps them tell direction. Many animals have natural 'compasses' that work just as well. Birds like the garden warbler in Figure 1.36 use Earths magnetic field. They use it to guide their annual migrations. Recent research suggests that warblers and other migrating birds have structures in their eyes. These structures let them see Earths magnetic field as a visual pattern. <sep>What works to detect Earth's magnetic north pole, telling direction besides people's compasses?<sep>Many animals have natural 'compasses' that work just as well

Q: What helped the characters reach their final state of being?, Context: The first Digimon television series, which began airing on March 7, 1999 in Japan on Fuji TV and Kids Station and on August 14, 1999 in the United States on Fox Kids dubbed by Saban Entertainment for the North American English version. Its premise is a group of 7 kids who, while at summer camp, travel to the Digital World, inhabited by creatures known as Digital Monsters, or Digimon, learning they are chosen to be "DigiDestined" ("Chosen Children" in the Japanese version) to save both the Digital and Real World from evil. Each Kid was given a Digivice which selected them to be transported to the DigiWorld and was destined to be paired up with a Digimon Partner, such as Tai being paired up with Agumon and Matt with Gabumon. The children are helped by a mysterious man/digimon named Gennai, who helps them via hologram. The Digivices help their Digimon allies to Digivolve into stronger creatures in times of peril. The Digimon usually reached higher forms when their human partners are placed in dangerous situations, such as fighting the evil forces of Devimon, Etemon and Myotismon in their Champion forms. Later, each character discovered a crest that each belonged to a person; Tai the Crest of Courage, Matt the Crest of Friendship, Sora the Crest of Love, Izzy the Crest of Knowledge, Mimi the Crest of Sincerity, Joe the Crest of Reliability, T.K. the Crest of Hope, and later Kari the Crest of Light which allowed their Digimon to digivolve into their Ultimate forms. The group consisted of seven original characters: Taichi "Tai" Kamiya, Yamato "Matt" Ishida, Sora Takenouchi, Koushiro "Izzy" Izumi, Mimi Tachikawa, Joe Kido, and Takeru "T.K." Takaishi. Later on in the series, an eighth character was introduced: Hikari "Kari" Kamiya (who is Taichi's younger sister).

Energy is stored in chemical compounds. This energy is called chemical energy. Chemical energy is a form of potential energy. When bonds between atoms are broken, energy is released. The wood in fireplaces has chemical energy. The energy is released as heat and light when the wood burns. Most living things get their energy from food. When food molecules are broken down, the energy is released. It may then be used to do work, like playing ball or studying science. If you have ever heard, "Eat a good breakfast", thats why. You need energy to do things during the day. To do those things you need energy. You get your energy from the food you eat. That energy is stored in your body until you need it. How did you get to school today? If you walked, you used chemical energy from the food you ate. What if you rode the bus or were driven in a car? Where did that energy come from? <sep>Does food have potential energy?<sep>Maybe

Question: Alexander fled Macedon with his mother, dropping her off with her brother, King Alexander I of Epirus in Dodona, capital of the Molossians. He continued to Illyria, where he sought refuge with the Illyrian King and was treated as a guest, despite having defeated them in battle a few years before. However, it appears Philip never intended to disown his politically and militarily trained son. Accordingly, Alexander returned to Macedon after six months due to the efforts of a family friend, Demaratus, who mediated between the two parties. In the following year, the Persian satrap (governor) of Caria, Pixodarus, offered his eldest daughter to Alexander's half-brother, Philip Arrhidaeus. Olympias and several of Alexander's friends suggested this showed Philip intended to make Arrhidaeus his heir. Alexander reacted by sending an actor, Thessalus of Corinth, to tell Pixodarus that he should not offer his daughter's hand to an illegitimate son, but instead to Alexander. When Philip heard of this, he stopped the negotiations and scolded Alexander for wishing to marry the daughter of a Carian, explaining that he wanted a better bride for him. Philip exiled four of Alexander's friends, Harpalus, Nearchus, Ptolemy and Erigyius, and had the Corinthians bring Thessalus to him in chains. <sep>Name all of Alexander's family that are mentioned in this paragraph.<sep>Alexander's father Philip

Question: The highest point of a wave is the crest. The lowest point is the trough. The vertical distance between a crest and a trough is the height of the wave. Wave height is also called amplitude. The horizontal distance between two crests is the wavelength. Both amplitude and wavelength are measures of wave size. The size of an ocean wave depends on how fast, over how great a distance, and how long the wind blows. The greater each of these factors is, the bigger a wave will be. Some of the biggest waves occur with hurricanes. A hurricane is a storm that forms over the ocean. Its winds may blow more than 150 miles per hour! The winds also travel over long distances and may last for many days. <sep>What do we know about wind from the paragraph?<sep>Winds may blow more than 150 miles per hour! Sent 12: The winds also travel over long distances and may last for many days
Answer: Yes
Question: Energy often changes from one form to another. For example, the drummer transfers motion to sound energy. When the moving drumstick strikes the drum head, the drum starts to vibrate. The motion of the vibrating drum head creates the sound you hear. Any form of energy can change into any other form. Frequently, one form of energy changes into two or more different forms. Have you ever sat in front of a campfire? What are two things you notice? The fire creates light. It is also warm by the fire, meaning it creates heat. The energy of the fire comes from the stored energy in the wood. The wood contains chemical energy. As it burns, the chemical energy is changed into light and heat. Not all chemical energy changes produce light and heat. Our cars use gasoline as a fuel. Gasoline contains chemical energy. When our cars burn gasoline in their engines, it is converted into motion and heat. When energy changes forms, energy is conserved. <sep>Drummers transform chemical energy into what?<sep>Motion to sound energy

question:
Water flowing over Earths surface or underground causes erosion and deposition. Water flowing over a steeper slope moves faster and causes more erosion. How water transports particles depends on their size. When water slows down, it starts depositing sediment. This process starts with the largest particles first. Runoff erodes the land after a heavy rain. It picks up sediment. Runoff carries most of the sediment to bodies of water. Mountain streams erode narrow, V-shaped valleys and waterfalls. Erosion and deposition by slow-flowing rivers create broad floodplains and meanders. Deposition by streams and rivers may form alluvial fans and deltas. Floodwaters may deposit natural levees. Erosion and deposition by groundwater can form caves and sinkholes. Stalactites and stalagmites are mineral deposits. They build up in caves as water continues to drip. <sep>What picks up sediment after a heavy rain?<sep>Runoff

Yes
question:
Bin Laden reportedly discussed the planes operation with KSM and Atef in a series of meetings in the spring of 1999 at the al Matar complex near Kandahar. KSM's original concept of using one of the hijacked planes to make a media statement was scrapped, but Bin Laden considered the basic idea feasible. Bin Laden, Atef, and KSM developed an initial list of targets. These included the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, and the World Trade Center. According to KSM, Bin Laden wanted to destroy the White House and the Pentagon, KSM wanted to strike the World Trade Center, and all of them wanted to hit the Capitol. No one else was involved in the initial selection of targets. Bin Laden also soon selected four individuals to serve as suicide operatives: Khalid al Mihdhar, Nawaf al Hazmi, Khallad, and Abu Bara al Yemeni. During the al Matar meetings, Bin Laden told KSM that Mihdhar and Hazmi were so eager to participate in an operation against the United States that they had already obtained U.S. visas. KSM states that they had done so on their own after the suicide of their friend Azzam (Nashiri's cousin) in carrying out the Nairobi bombing. KSM had not met them. His only guidance from Bin Laden was that the two should eventually go to the United States for pilot training. Hazmi and Mihdhar were Saudi nationals, born in Mecca. Like the others in this initial group of selectees, they were already experienced mujahideen. They had traveled together to fight in Bosnia in a group that journeyed to the Balkans in 1995. By the time Hazmi and Mihdhar were assigned to the planes operation in early 1999, they had visited Afghanistan on several occasions. Khallad was another veteran mujahid, like much of his family. His father had been expelled from Yemen because of his extremist views. Khallad had grown up in Saudi Arabia, where his father knew Bin Laden, Abdullah Azzam, and Omar Abdel Rahman (the "Blind Sheikh"). <sep>Besides Bin Laden, KSM, and Atef, who else was involved in discussing the initial selection of targets?<sep>Azzam

You will be given a passage, and your task is to generate a Yes/No question that is answerable based on the given passage.
Q: Atmospheric pressure, sometimes also called barometric pressure, is the pressure within the atmosphere of Earth (or that of another planet). In most circumstances atmospheric pressure is closely approximated by the hydrostatic pressure caused by the weight of air above the measurement point. As elevation increases, there is less overlying atmospheric mass, so that atmospheric pressure decreases with increasing elevation. Pressure measures force per unit area, with SI units of Pascals (1 pascal = 1 newton per square metre, 1 N/m). On average, a column of air with a cross-sectional area of 1 square centimetre (cm), measured from mean (average) sea level to the top of Earth's atmosphere, has a mass of about 1.03 kilogram and exerts a force or ``weight'' of about 10.1 newtons or 2.37 lb, resulting in a pressure at sea level of about 10.1 N/cm or 101 kN/m (101 kilopascals, kPa). A column of air with a cross-sectional area of 1 in (6.45 cm) would have a mass of about 6.65 kg and a weight of about 65.4 N or 14.7 lb, resulting in a pressure of 10.1 N/cm or 14.7 lb/in.
A: | is atmospheric pressure always equal to 1 atm? |

(CNN) -- Women seeking an abortion in Texas will have to view a picture of the embryo or fetus and hear a description of its development before having the procedure, under a law that takes effect September 1. The bill stirred some controversy in Texas, but it easily passed through the state House and Senate, both of which are controlled by Republicans. It was signed into law Thursday by Republican Gov. Rick Perry. The law says that at least 24 hours before an abortion is performed, women must undergo a sonogram, a procedure that uses ultrasound to create an image. The doctor, then, is required to give, "in a manner understandable to a layperson, a verbal explanation of the results of the sonogram images, including a medical description of the dimensions of the embryo or fetus, the presence of cardiac activity, and the presence of external members and internal organs," the law states. There are some exceptions, including pregnancies that resulted from sexual assault, incest or other violations of law. Women seeking abortions also are exempt if the fetus has been found to have an irreversible medical condition that will cause a disability. "Governor Perry was pleased to sign this important legislation, which bolsters our efforts to protect life by ensuring Texans are fully informed when considering such an important decision," said his deputy press secretary, Lucy Nashed. Critics say the new law is unnecessary. "What no one is focusing on is that this is a mandate to humiliate women who want an abortion," said Yvonne Gutierrez, vice president for public affairs at the Planned Parenthood Trust of South Texas. Texas already requires a 24-hour consent period, and the new law will simply add emotional and financial costs to those seeking abortions, she said. <sep>What conditions allow women seeking abortions to not undergo this procedure?<sep>Pregnancies that resulted from sexual assault, incest or other violations of law are exempt

[Q]: How is Valencia pronounced in English?, Context: Valencia (/vəˈlɛnsiə/; Spanish: [baˈlenθja]), or València (Valencian: [vaˈlensia]), is the capital of the autonomous community of Valencia and the third largest city in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona, with around 800,000 inhabitants in the administrative centre. Its urban area extends beyond the administrative city limits with a population of around 1.5 million people. Valencia is Spain's third largest metropolitan area, with a population ranging from 1.7 to 2.5 million. The city has global city status. The Port of Valencia is the 5th busiest container port in Europe and the busiest container port on the Mediterranean Sea.
[A]: vəˈlɛnsiə
[Q]: What country do you think starts with a T ?, Context: The effects of local surface low pressure are extremely limited because upper-level subsidence still continues to block any form of air ascent. Also, to be protected against rain-bearing weather systems by the atmospheric circulation itself, the desert is made even drier by his geographical configuration and location. Indeed, the extreme aridity of the Sahara can't be only explained by the subtropical high pressure. The Atlas Mountains, found in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia also help to enhance the aridity of the northern part of the desert. These major mountain ranges act as a barrier causing a strong rain shadow effect on the leeward side by dropping much of the humidity brought by atmospheric disturbances along the polar front which affects the surrounding Mediterranean climates.

[Q]: what is the second location mentioned?, Context: The palace measures 108 metres (354 ft) by 120 metres (390 ft), is 24 metres (79 ft) high and contains over 77,000 m2 (830,000 sq ft) of floorspace. The floor area is smaller than the Royal Palace of Madrid, the Papal Palace in Rome, the Louvre in Paris, the Hofburg Palace in Vienna, or the Forbidden City. There are 775 rooms, including 19 state rooms, 52 principal bedrooms, 188 staff bedrooms, 92 offices, and 78 bathrooms. The principal rooms are contained on the piano nobile behind the west-facing garden façade at the rear of the palace. The centre of this ornate suite of state rooms is the Music Room, its large bow the dominant feature of the façade. Flanking the Music Room are the Blue and the White Drawing Rooms. At the centre of the suite, serving as a corridor to link the state rooms, is the Picture Gallery, which is top-lit and 55 yards (50 m) long. The Gallery is hung with numerous works including some by Rembrandt, van Dyck, Rubens and Vermeer; other rooms leading from the Picture Gallery are the Throne Room and the Green Drawing Room. The Green Drawing Room serves as a huge anteroom to the Throne Room, and is part of the ceremonial route to the throne from the Guard Room at the top of the Grand Staircase. The Guard Room contains white marble statues of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, in Roman costume, set in a tribune lined with tapestries. These very formal rooms are used only for ceremonial and official entertaining, but are open to the public every summer.

Some of the most unusual effects of Hellenization can be seen in Afghanistan and India, in the region of the relatively late-arising Greco-Bactrian Kingdom (250 BC-125 BC) in modern Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Tajikistan and the Greco-Indian Kingdom (180 BC - 10 CE) in modern Afghanistan and India. There on the newly formed Silk Road Greek culture apparently hybridized with Indian, and especially Buddhist culture. The resulting syncretism known as Greco-Buddhism heavily influenced the development of Buddhism and created a culture of Greco-Buddhist art. These Greco-Buddhist kingdoms sent some of the first Buddhist missionaries to China, Sri Lanka, and the Mediterranean (Greco-Buddhist monasticism). The first figural portrayals of the Buddha, previously avoided by Buddhists, appeared at this time; they were modeled on Greek statues of Apollo. Several Buddhist traditions may have been influenced by the ancient Greek religion: the concept of Boddhisatvas is reminiscent of Greek divine heroes, and some Mahayana ceremonial practices (burning incense, gifts of flowers, and food placed on altars) are similar to those practiced by the ancient Greeks. One Greek king, Menander I, probably became Buddhist, and was immortalized in Buddhist literature as 'Milinda'. The process of Hellenization extended to the sciences, where ideas from Greek astronomy filtered eastward and had profoundly influenced Indian astronomy by the early centuries AD. For example, Greek astronomical instruments dating to the 3rd century BC were found in the Greco-Bactrian city of Ai Khanoum in modern-day Afghanistan while the Greek concept of a spherical earth surrounded by the spheres of planets was adopted in India and eventually supplanted the long-standing Indian cosmological belief of a flat and circular earth. The Yavanajataka and Paulisa Siddhanta texts in particular show Greek influence. <sep>What evidence exists that Greco-Bactrian influence extended to the sciences?<sep>Greek astronomical instruments found in Afghanistan and belief in a spherical Earth in India

Input: Captured Moments by Will Shetterly I remember Papa's stopbox, a teal blue Tiempo Capturado that Mama brought home for his birthday. It was huge and inefficient, and she should never have spent so many pesos on a toy, but Papa would not let her return it. He used it to preserve baby tomatoes, cucumbers, and strawberries in translucent cubes that he stored in the pantry for spring-time meals in the middle of winter. Mama kept her mink jacket, a family hand-me-down, safe from time in a stopbox, and lent the capturador to my uncle for his stamp collection. Sometimes they would let us little ones to seal a treasured toy or a last piece of birthday cake until we begged them for its release, usually a few hours after enclosing it. When my father died, a year after my mother, my sisters and I cleaned out their apartment. We found our baby shoes protected in stopboxes. I took mine home, where they sat above my computer while I worked on my first play. One night when I did not believe love had ever existed for anyone, I used my own capturador, a sleek titanium Sanyo Tardar Ahora, to undo the stopbox. Bringing my face close to the shoes, I breathed deeply of air that my parents had trapped while closing up that symbol of their love for me. The instant would have been improved had my baby shoes been cleaned before they were encased. But as soon as I coughed, I laughed, and I did not try to kill myself that night. <sep>What was mamas mink jacket?<sep>A friend hand-me-down

Ex Input:
How was this shown in teaching?, Context: As the Tokugawa period progressed more value became placed on education, and the education of females beginning at a young age became important to families and society as a whole. Marriage criteria began to weigh intelligence and education as desirable attributes in a wife, right along with physical attractiveness. Though many of the texts written for women during the Tokugawa period only pertained to how a woman could become a successful wife and household manager, there were those that undertook the challenge of learning to read, and also tackled philosophical and literary classics. Nearly all women of the samurai class were literate by the end of the Tokugawa period.

What method of sampling from extreme environments may lead to new insight into life in extreme conditions?, Context: There is some evidence, in the form of ice cores drilled to about 400 m (1,300 ft) above the water line, that Lake Vostok's waters may contain microbial life. The frozen surface of the lake shares similarities with Jupiter's moon, Europa. If life is discovered in Lake Vostok, it would strengthen the argument for the possibility of life on Europa. On 7 February 2008, a NASA team embarked on a mission to Lake Untersee, searching for extremophiles in its highly alkaline waters. If found, these resilient creatures could further bolster the argument for extraterrestrial life in extremely cold, methane-rich environments.

In this task, you will be presented with a context passage, a question about that paragraph, and a possible answer to that question. The task is to check the validity of the answer. Answer with "Yes" or "No".
Example Input: After the disruption of the plot in Amman, it had not escaped notice in Washington that Hijazi had lived in California and driven a cab in Boston and that Deek was a naturalized U.S. citizen who, as Berger reminded President Clinton, had been in touch with extremists in the United States as well as abroad. Before Ressam's arrest, Berger saw no need to raise a public alarm at home- although the FBI put all field offices on alert. Now, following Ressam's arrest, the FBI asked for an unprecedented number of special wiretaps. Both Berger andTenet told us that their impression was that more Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) wiretap requests were processed during the millennium alert than ever before. The next day, writing about Ressam's arrest and links to a cell in Montreal, Berger informed the President that the FBI would advise police in the United States to step up activities but would still try to avoid undue public alarm by stressing that the government had no specific information about planned attacks. At a December 22 meeting of the Small Group of principals, FBI Director Louis Freeh briefed officials from the NSC staff, CIA, and Justice on wiretaps and investigations inside the United States, including a Brooklyn entity tied to the Ressam arrest, a seemingly unreliable foreign report of possible attacks on seven U.S. cities, two Algerians detained on the Canadian border, and searches in Montreal related to a jihadist cell. The Justice Department released a statement on the alert the same day. Clarke's staff warned, "Foreign terrorist sleeper cells are present in the US and attacks in the US are likely." Clarke asked Berger to try to make sure that the domestic agencies remained alert." Is there a threat to civilian aircraft?"he wrote. Clarke also asked the principals in late December to discuss a foreign security service report about a Bin Laden plan to put bombs on transatlantic flights. The CSG met daily. Berger said that the principals met constantly. Later, when asked what made her decide to ask Ressam to step out of his vehicle, Diana Dean, a Customs inspector who referred Ressam to secondary inspection, testified that it was her "training and experience." It appears that the heightened sense of alert at the national level played no role in Ressam's detention. There was a mounting sense of public alarm. The earlier Jordanian arrests had been covered in the press, and Ressam's arrest was featured on network evening news broadcasts throughout the Christmas season. The FBI was more communicative during the millennium crisis than it had ever been. <sep>On what date did the warning "Foreign terrorist sleeper cells are present in the US and attacks in the US are likely." take place?<sep>Christmas day
Example Output: No
Example Input: The Principals Committee had its first meeting on al Qaeda on September 4. On the day of the meeting, Clarke sent Rice an impassioned personal note. He criticized U.S. counterterrorism efforts past and present. The "real question" before the principals, he wrote, was "are we serious about dealing with the al Qida threat? Is al Qida a big deal? Decision makers should imagine themselves on a future day when the CSG has not succeeded in stopping al Qida attacks and hundreds of Americans lay dead in several countries, including the US," Clarke wrote. "What would those decision makers wish that they had done earlier? That future day could happen at any time." Clarke then turned to the Cole." The fact that the USS Cole was attacked during the last Administration does not absolve us of responding for the attack," he wrote. "Many in al Qida and the Taliban may have drawn the wrong lesson from the Cole: that they can kill Americans without there being a US response, without there being a price." <sep>On what date did Clarke send Rice a note criticizing U.S. counter-terrorism efforts?<sep>September 5
Example Output: No
Example Input: Hamilton argued that the natural faculties of blacks were as good as those of free whites, and he warned that the British would arm the slaves if the patriots did not. In his 21st-century biography, Chernow cites this incident as evidence that Hamilton and Laurens saw the Revolution and the struggle against slavery as inseparable. Hamilton attacked his political opponents as demanding freedom for themselves and refusing to allow it to blacks. In January 1785, Hamilton attended the second meeting of the New York Manumission Society (NYMS). John Jay was president and Hamilton was the first secretary and later became president. Chernow notes how the membership soon included many of Hamilton's friends and associates. Hamilton was a member of the committee of the society that petitioned the legislature to end the slave trade, and that succeeded in passing legislation banning the export of slaves from New York. In the same period, Hamilton felt bound by the rule of law of the time and his law practice facilitated the return of a fugitive slave to Henry Laurens of South Carolina. He opposed the compromise at the 1787 Constitutional Convention by which the federal government could not abolish the slave trade for 20 years, and was disappointed when he lost that argument. Hamilton never supported forced emigration for freed slaves. Horton has argued from this that he would be comfortable with a multiracial society, and that this distinguished him from his contemporaries. In international affairs, he supported Toussaint L'Ouverture's black government in Haiti after the revolt that overthrew French control, as he had supported aid to the slaveowners in 1791--both measures hurt France. Scant evidence has been interpreted by a few to indicate Hamilton may have owned household slaves, as did many wealthy New Yorkers (the evidence for this is indirect; McDonald interprets it as referring to paid employees). <sep>Give examples that support Hamilton's pro-abolotionist views.<sep>Member of the New York Manumission Society

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Q: What is the last place listed that engaged in the slave trade?, Context: The slave trade was engaged in by European state and non-state actors such as Great Britain, the Netherlands, Portugal and private companies, as well as various African states and non-state actors. With rising anti-slavery sentiment at home and changing economic realities, Great Britain outlawed the international slave trade in 1807. Following the Napoleonic Wars, Great Britain established the West Africa Squadron in an attempt to halt the international traffic in slaves. It stopped ships of other nations that were leaving the African coast with slaves; the seized slaves were taken to Freetown, a colony in West Africa originally established for the resettlement of freed slaves from Britain. Britain intervened in the Lagos Kingship power struggle by bombarding Lagos in 1851, deposing the slave trade friendly Oba Kosoko, helping to install the amenable Oba Akitoye, and signing the Treaty between Great Britain and Lagos on 1 January 1852. Britain annexed Lagos as a Crown Colony in August 1861 with the Lagos Treaty of Cession. British missionaries expanded their operations and travelled further inland. In 1864, Samuel Ajayi Crowther became the first African bishop of the Anglican Church.

Alaska Gov. Sean Parnell tells an audience in Anchorage, Alaska, the amount of this year's Permanent Fund Dividend that will go to most residents just for living in the state, Wednesday, Sept. 17, 2014.... (Associated Press)
This year's share of nearly $1,900 is the sweetest since the Great Recession and the third-richest ever.
Gov. Sean Parnell announced the amount of the Alaska Permanent Fund Dividend with great fanfare Wednesday. "This is all good news for Alaskans," he said at an Anchorage press conference.
The payout to be distributed Oct. 2 is more than double the amount of last year's $900 checks but short of the record payout of $2,069 in 2008.
— WHO QUALIFIES? The dividends are distributed annually to men, women and children who sign up for it after living in the state for at least one calendar year, or were born in Alaska by the Dec. 31 deadline of the previous year. This year, nearly 599,000 Alaskans will receive checks, either through direct deposit or in the mail. Of those, the oldest recipient is 109 years old and the youngest includes 26 children who were born Dec. 31. Altogether, the checks total $1.1 billion.
— THE PAYOUT FORMULA: The amount of each person's check is based on a five-year average of the fund's investment earnings, which have included the recession years. Alaska wasn't hit as hard by the recession as the Lower 48, but the Permanent Fund Corp. has a diversified portfolio that was clobbered when markets plunged worldwide. The fund has since recovered, according to officials. The fund had a balance of $29.9 billion in 2009, compared to $51.2 billion five years later.
— HOW DO FOLKS SPEND IT? Some dividend payouts go toward fun stuff like vacations and big-screen TVs. But in the remote village of Deering, city administrator Mike Jones says his family's share, $5,652 for the family of three, will go toward bills and heating fuel, which is $6.50 a gallon and rising. "There was a time when I was younger I would go for snow machines and fun stuff," Jones said. These days, necessities take precedence for the family in the Inupiat Eskimo community 520 miles northwest of Anchorage.
— RETAIL SALES: Businesses often rush to take advantage of the cash infusion, offering Permanent Fund Dividend deals. For example, the Girl Scouts of Alaska announced a 10 percent discount on all non-uniform apparel in a "PFD Super-Saver" sale being held through Friday at an Anchorage Girl Scouts store. Alaska Airlines announced more than 90 destinations available through a PFD sale running between Sept. 24 and Oct. 29. "How does travel to faraway warm sapphire seas sound? How about exciting cities you've always wanted to see?" the airline says on its website. "This is the flight sale that's made just for Alaskans."
— GIVING TO CHARITY: Some Alaskans choose to give part of their dividend to charitable causes through the "Pick. Click. Give." program. This year, 26,850 recipients pledged $2.8 million to 511 nonprofit organizations.
— HOW DID IT ALL BEGIN? The Permanent Fund was established in 1976 after the discovery of oil on Alaska's North Slope. The state began distributing fund money to residents in 1982. If an Alaskan has qualified for all of the checks distributed since the beginning, they would have collected $37,027.41. With the upcoming distribution, the state will have distributed more than $21.9 billion over the years.
— DON'T FORGET THE IRS: Alas, it's not all free money. Alaska has no state income tax, but residents must pay federal taxes on the bounty.

Output: | It's good to be an Alaskan: Gov. Sean Parnell yesterday announced residents will pocket $1,884 by way of this year's Alaska Permanent Fund dividend, the Alaska Dispatch reports. That's a nice bump from last year's $900 payout and the third largest since the payments from the state's oil wealth savings account began in 1982. (The fund was established in 1976 after the discovery of oil on Alaska's North Slope.) Available to all residents born in Alaska on or before Dec. 31, 2013, or those who have lived in the state for one year, the payout is "based on a five-year average of the fund's investment earnings," the AP reports. In total, a resident could have collected $37,027 over the years—though, of course, that doesn't include federal taxes paid on the dough. |

Washington (CNN) -- The Pacific island nation of Palau has agreed to take in 17 Chinese Muslims held at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the country's ambassador to the United States said Wednesday. The map shows the Pacific island nation of Palau in relation to China. Details of the transfer are still being worked out, Ambassador Hersey Kyota told CNN. But Kyota said his country, a former U.S. Pacific trust territory, has agreed to take in the ethnic Uighur detainees "for humanitarian reasons" and because of the "special relationship" between Palau and the United States. U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly would not comment on the announcement, telling reporters, "We're still involved in ongoing discussions." The agreement includes some U.S. aid for Palau, Kyota said, but he said those details remained to be worked out as well. The country, with a population of about 20,000, is about 1,000 miles southeast of Manila, Philippines, and about 4,600 miles west of Hawaii. Palau has received nearly $900 million in U.S. aid since independence in 1994, according to congressional auditors, and depends on Washington for defense. The "Compact of Free Association" between Palau and the United States is up for review, but Kelly said any additional aid offer "is not linked to any other discussions we may be having with the government of Palau." The Uighurs were accused of receiving weapons and military training in Afghanistan. <sep>Which country has a population of about 20,000?<sep>Pacific Islands

Input: Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption The BBC's Yolande Knell at the scene in Gaza says Mohammed Deif has "long been on Israel's most wanted list"
Hamas says the wife and child of its military commander, Mohammed Deif, have been killed in an Israeli air strike on the Gaza Strip.
At least 19 Palestinians have died since hostilities resumed on Tuesday, with both sides blaming each other for the collapse of the Cairo peace talks.
The Israeli military said it had carried out 92 air strikes in response to 137 rockets fired at its territory.
Six weeks of fierce fighting have left at least 2,103 people dead.
Egypt has expressed "profound regret" at the end of the 10-day period of calm and said it will continue trying to secure a lasting truce.
Bomb shelters
It is believed the air strike on a house in Gaza City late on Tuesday that killed Mohammed Deif's wife and their young son was intended to kill the militant himself, reports the BBC's Kevin Connolly in Jerusalem.
A Hamas official told the AFP news agency that Mr Deif was "still alive and leading the military operation" against Israel.

The commander of Hamas' armed wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, has survived a number of previous Israeli assassination attempts believed to have left him with severe disabilities.
Israeli Interior Minister Gideon Saar said the attack was justified because Mr Deif was "personally responsible" for dozens of deaths.
Yaakov Perry, Israel's science minister and former security service chief, said he was "convinced that if there was intelligence that [he] was not inside the home, then we would not have bombed it".
Rescue workers later pulled out of the remains of the house the bodies of three members of the family that lived there, medics said.
Kevin Connolly, BBC News, Jerusalem
No-one is rushing to make an official declaration that the Cairo peace talks are dead but it is hard to see what could now bring them back to life.
Hamas blames Israel for the end of the ceasefire just as Israel blames Hamas - the one point of agreement between them appears to be that the time for talking has gone at least for now.
Any diplomatic failure in the Middle East can be explained by the formula that the maximum one side was prepared to offer was less than the minimum that the other side was prepared to accept. Never has it been truer than it is now.
Both sides went in to this round of negotiations with what diplomats would call maximalist positions - Hamas demanding an opening of Gaza's borders, Israel aspiring to the demilitarisation of Gaza.
But neither side can afford to allow any concessions which might be portrayed as a victory for the other. In neither society would public opinion stand for it.
That is a recipe for stalemate - and at times of stalemate both sides are inclined to turn back to their weapons of war.
There were further Israeli air strikes on Gaza on Wednesday which, according to local medics, killed a heavily pregnant woman and several children.
Our correspondent says the apparent attempt to kill Mohammed Deif may explain the intensity of the rocket fire that came after the collapse of the Cairo peace talks.

Air-raid sirens sounded in many towns and cities in southern and central Israel, including Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, as 50 rockets were launched on Tuesday and 30 on Wednesday.
'Gravely disappointed'
The Israeli government accused Hamas of breaking the ceasefire by launching a salvo of rockets about eight hours before it was to have expired, and told its delegation in Cairo to return home shortly afterwards.
Palestinian negotiators blamed Israel for the failure of the indirect talks.
"Israel thwarted the contacts that could have brought peace," said Azzam al-Ahmed, a senior member of the Fatah movement of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
However, Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev rejected the accusation, saying rockets from Gaza were "a clear violation of the ceasefire" and "destroyed the premise upon which the talks were based."

Israel has been seeking guarantees that Hamas and other factions in Gaza would be disarmed, while the Palestinians were demanding an end to the Israeli and Egyptian blockades of Gaza, and the establishment of a seaport and airport.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said he was "gravely disappointed by the return to hostilities".
Meanwhile, human rights groups have called on Israel to allow them into Gaza so they can investigate allegations of violations of international humanitarian law by both sides.
In a joint statement, Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch accused Israel of "playing bureaucratic games" with them by continually denying the groups' requests to cross the border.
Israel launched Operation Protective Edge on 8 July with the aim of ending Hamas rocket fire. It also sought to destroy tunnels dug under the frontier with Israel used by militants to launch attack.
Since then, at least 2,036 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in Gaza, according to the Palestinian health ministry. The Israeli authorities say 64 Israeli soldiers have been killed, along with two Israeli civilians and a Thai national.

Hamas military commander Mohammed Deif ||||| 1 of 15. Smoke rises following what witnesses said was an Israeli air strike in Gaza August 20, 2014.
GAZA/JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike in Gaza killed the wife and infant son of Hamas's military leader, Mohammed Deif, the group said, calling it an attempt to assassinate him after a ceasefire collapsed.
Palestinians launched more than 180 rockets on Tuesday and Wednesday, mainly at southern Israel, with some intercepted by the Iron Dome anti-missile system, the military said. No casualties were reported on the Israeli side.
Egypt, which has been trying to broker a long-term ceasefire in indirect Israeli-Palestinian talks, said it would continue contacts with both sides, whose delegates left Cairo after the hostilities resumed on Tuesday.
But there appeared to be no end in sight to violence that shattered a 10-day period of calm, the longest break from fighting since Israel launched its Gaza offensive on July 8 with the declared aim of ending rocket fire into its territory.
Israeli aircraft have carried out more than 100 strikes in the Gaza Strip since Tuesday, Defence Minister Moshe Ya'alon said, the military adding it was "targeting terror sites".
Hamas and medical officials said 23 people had died in the latest Israeli raids, including Deif's wife and seven-month-old son. Deif is widely believed to be masterminding the Islamist group's military campaign from underground bunkers.
A Hamas official said Deif, head of Hamas's Izz el-Deen al-Qassam Brigades, had not used the targeted house, from whose rubble the bodies of three members of the family that lived there were also pulled out.
Abu Ubaida, a spokesman for Hamas's armed wing, said in a televised statement addressing Israel "you have failed and you have missed" Deif in the attack.
Chanting "Qassam, bomb Tel Aviv!", thousands of Palestinians later attended the funeral of Deif's wife and son in Jabalya refugee camp. The woman's mother told reporters she wished she had "another 100 daughters" to offer Deif in marriage.
Accusing Israel of opening a "gateway to hell", Hamas fired rockets at Tel Aviv and Jerusalem late on Tuesday, demonstrating the Islamist movement could still reach Israel's heartland despite heavy Israeli bombardments in the five-week conflict.
There was no confirmation from Israel that it had tried to kill Deif, who has been targeted in air strikes at least four times since the mid-1990s. Israel holds him responsible for the deaths of dozens of its citizens in suicide bombings.
"ALL OPTIONS OPEN"
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declined to say whether Deif had been targeted, but he reaffirmed Israel's longstanding policy of considering militant leaders as legitimate targets, adding that "none are immune" from attack.
Netanyahu said Israel's Gaza campaign could last for a while. "This will be a continuous campaign," he told a news conference in Tel Aviv, giving a vague description of Israel's goals as seeking "calm and safety" for Israeli citizens.
Ya'alon, his defence chief, added that "all options are open, including renewed ground operations" in Gaza.
Netanyahu compared Hamas Islamists to Islamic State militants operating in Iraq and Syria, calling them "branches of the same tree" and accusing both groups of acting with "savagery" by killing and targeting attacks against civilians.
Abu Ubaida, the Hamas military spokesman, said the group would target Israeli public sites such as soccer stadiums and Israel's Ben-Gurion International Airport. He warned airlines to stay away from Thursday morning and cautioned Israelis living near to Gaza against returning to their homes.
An Israeli airport spokesman said there were no disruptions reported in Thursday's flight schedules.
Five children were killed in separate air strikes, according to Gaza health officials, and the Israeli military said it had targeted four gunmen in northern Gaza.
Hamas said it had fired two rockets at an Israeli gas installation about 30 km (19 miles) off the coast of Gaza in the first apparent attack of its kind. The Israeli military said no missiles had struck any gas platforms at sea.
The Palestinian Health Ministry says 2,040 people, most of them civilians, have been killed in Gaza. Israel says it has killed hundreds of Palestinian militants in fighting that the United Nations says has displaced about 425,000 people.
Sixty-four Israeli soldiers and three civilians in Israel have been killed in the most deadly and destructive war Hamas and Israel have fought since Israel withdrew unilaterally from Gaza in 2005, before Hamas seized the territory in 2007.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, whose Fatah party took part in the Cairo talks, was due to meet the emir of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, and exiled Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal in Doha on Wednesday, diplomatic sources said.
Israel instructed its civilians to open bomb shelters as far as 80 km (50 miles) from Gaza, or beyond the Tel Aviv area, and the military called up 2,000 reservists.
U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said in a statement he was "gravely disappointed by the return to hostilities" and urged the sides not to allow matters to escalate.
Egyptian mediators have been struggling to end the Gaza conflict and seal a deal that would open the way for reconstruction aid to flow into the territory of 1.8 million people, where thousands of homes have been destroyed.
The Palestinians want Egypt and Israel to lift their blockades of the economically crippled Gaza Strip that predated the Israeli offensive.

Output: | An Israeli airstrike has killed the wife and young son of Hamas military leader Mohammed Deif, the group says, per the Wall Street Journal. Hamas says Israel was targeting Deif himself, though it's not clear whether he was killed in the strike, the BBC notes. Deif, who has allegedly ordered suicide bombings in Israel in the past, was left disabled by previous efforts to kill him. Hamas says Israel will pay after opening "the gates of hell," the BBC reports. New Israeli strikes have killed 11 people since the ceasefire collapsed yesterday, the BBC reports. Palestinian officials say another 100 have been wounded. Following new rocket attacks from Gaza, Israel suspended truce talks in Cairo, the Journal notes, and Reuters adds that the country has recalled its negotiators. "Israel thwarted the contacts that could have brought peace," says Palestine's chief negotiator. An Israeli spokesman, however, disagreed: "The Cairo process was built on a total and complete cessation of all hostilities, and so when when rockets were fired from Gaza, not only was it a clear violation of the ceasefire, but it also destroyed the premise upon which the talks were based." |

Q: So, basically no one has any respect for the dead, huh? Not even the guy's own family. Sick.
Another person in Russell Armstrong's life has come forward to talk about the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star and offer their insight on why he might've taken his own life. Russell's sister Laurie has come forward to speak of his - and her - painful childhood, in which Russell actually shot Laurie with a loaded gun. She elaborated further, speaking of his anger problems:
“My brother had anger issues but he was trying to really overcome his resentments. When I was five-years-old and he was six-years-old he accidentally shot me in the leg with my dad’s loaded gun! He lived with this guilt all of his life and he blamed himself. I was in the hospital for one year, the doctors told me I would never walk again. But I did, I think I started walking again when I was six-years-old. It’s kind of a blur. He was angry at my dad for along time because he should never have left a loaded gun in the house.”
And this story needed to be rehashed because…?
We can't really understand why all of these people keep talking to the media and further painting an awful picture of this man when he isn't alive to defend himself. You would think at least his family would give him enough dignity to have his past mistakes - and this story was definitely one about him making a mistake, not his rage - kept privately within his immediate circle.
It doesn't look like the poor guy had that many people to turn to for help that wouldn't sell him out for his own benefit. Perhaps he would've had a better chance of working out his issues had he felt like there was someone in his life who would look out for him. Sad.

“We’ll let you know what we decide when we do. In the meantime, we’re sending our thoughts and prayers to Taylor and the rest of Russell’s family.”
As do ours.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Taylor Armstrong paid a Beverly Hills dentist a “wad of cash” to cover-up a fight her husband was involved in that left one of his business associates requiring a mouth reconstruction, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
Russell Armstrong was found dead Monday night in a friend’s Los Angeles home. He committed suicide by hanging himself, an autopsy confirmed.
In the search for answers why, a dark portrait has emerged of a violent and depressed man, who was facing mounting financial problems, including a $1.5 million lawsuit, all while in the spotlight of an acrimonious divorce played out before the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cameras.

After a recent incident at the couple’s Bel Air, Calif., home, Taylor paid renowned Beverly Hills dentist Dr. David S. Frey more than $10,000 to repair the damage the associate sustained after being viciously punched by 47-year-old Russell, a source has revealed.
“The man required a full mouth reconstruction and total teeth replacement,” a source with knowledge of the incident told RadarOnline.com.

“It was not uncommon for Taylor to have to have to clean-up after Russell and in this instance, she turned up to Dr. Frey’s North Roxbury clinic with a wad of cash to cover the cost of Russell’s associate’s dental work.”
Russell killed himself one month after Taylor filed for divorce and went public with allegations she was verbally and physically abused.

As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Russell had a history of abuse with other partners, too.
In fact, he had two separate restraining orders filed against by him, one by his ex-wife, and one by an ex-girlfriend. In addition, Russell had a criminal record, having pled guilty to battery in 1997.

Portman explained that her interest in Your Highness was sparked when director David Gordon Green assured her that her role, an arrow-slinging female warrior, wouldn’t just be window dressing. “When I sat down with David, he was like, ‘The girl’s going to be funny here,'” said Portman. “To have him be able to think of me in that way was so lucky, because [the role] is a real departure from anything I’ve done on film.”

How did you get to school today? If you walked, you used chemical energy from the food you ate. What if you rode the bus or were driven in a car? Where did that energy come from? <sep>In order for you to walk, what happens to bonds between atoms?<sep>The bonds are broken

New input: Light rays strike a reflecting surface. They are then reflected back. You can predict the angle of the reflected light. Imagine a ball bouncing off a surface. Light can do the same thing. That is, assuming the surface is shiny. So how do you know where light will go after it strikes a shiny surface? It depends on how the light initially strikes the shiny object. Light does not always go straight toward a surface. Therefore, not all light bounces straight back. Sometimes, light can hit a surface at an angle. The angle at which it strikes the surface tells us how it will bounce off. While light is different to a ball, they react in a similar manner. Many sports rely on knowledge of reflection. Pool players know a lot about reflection. They take great care when they strike the pool ball. They need it to go to a certain place. They know the angle it will hit the side of the pool table. <sep>What is needed for light to bounce off a surface?<sep>the surface needs many angles
Solution: | No |

How to plan a healthy easter meal
Serve red meat with plenty of healthy additions.
Things like ham, lamb, and beef are traditionally served at easter. Instead of just serving red meat as a dish, serve red meat in dishes that have healthy additions to them.
OPTIONS:
- While most whole meats are fairly safe when served in their natural state, you can include certain amounts of red meat in dishes that date back to the 40s. Ground beef is usually served with shellfish and eggs, and it's often substituted for the meat before a easter meal.
- Mix in things like vegetables and legumes with traditional easter meats. Use meat more for texture and added flavor than as a staple of the course.
- Why? Because red meat is full of small amounts of meat. Fully adding red meat can make this dish healthier.
- For instance, a white or salmon drizzled with egg whites is typically served with chicken and turkey. When you cook meat, salmon, and trout, set it out on the table in a bowl and serve it as a side dish.

How to get rid of a beehive
Call a professional if the hive is large or difficult to access.
Honey bees will typically have from 10 , 000-50 , 000 or more bees in a hive. You may only see a small portion but the hives can be deeply hidden in walls, trees, chimneys, roofs, etc.
OPT: 1). Some bees are more aggressive than others and will swarm or sting if the hive is threatened or if someone gets too close. Yellow jackets, though not a bee, will do this.; 2). Cover the hive site with blocks or bricks to create a barrier for the bees. Cinder blocks and other large blocks can be used as barriers.; 3). Take steps to clearly and rationally inspect any hives you are able to see. Bees in large hives may be out of place and die.; 4). Bees will probably encounter several beehives in a parallel line or rows throughout the center of the hive. If there are too many beehives but the population decreases or the hive contains a large number of bees, consider consulting your state's beekeeping board.; | 1). |

[Q]: Abrasion is another type of weathering. Like ice wedging, it is a form of mechanical weathering. Like ice wedging, abrasion does not change the rock into another type of rock. With abrasion, one rock or piece of sediment bumps against another rock. Rocks dont normally roll around on their own, so why do they move? There are a couple of reasons a rock may move. Gravity can cause rocks to move. They may roll downhill or fall off a cliff. As they roll down a hill, they bump into each other. Maybe a moving rock hits a rock that is not moving at the bottom of the hill. Moving water causes rocks and sediment to move. Rocks are bounced along the bottom and bump against one another. As they collide, they begin to chip away at each other. Angular rocks become more rounded with each collision. Strong winds cause abrasion. The wind carries sediment. This sediment is thrown against other rocky surfaces by the wind. It is like sand-blasting a rock. <sep>How does gravity cause rocks to move?<sep>They bump into each other

[Q]: IBM opened a sprawling and sophisticated semiconductor factory here on Wednesday that cost more than $2.5 billion to build and equip, the largest single capital investment the company has ever made. The factory, which opens as the computer chip business is in a slump, is a costly and risky move for IBM. But it is also an expression of confidence by the company that it can remain a technology leader in the highly competitive global semiconductor industry, and a commitment that the best place to execute that strategy is in upstate New York. IBM is an exception among computer makers in that it still invests heavily in research to advance the design, manufacture and materials used in semiconductor chips. It is spending more than $500 million a year on semiconductor research and development. The factory will produce a wide range of specialized semiconductors used in everything from the largest mainframe computers to cell phones and video-game consoles. The new plant is part of IBM's push to gain a strong lead in chip-making beyond the personal computer business, where Intel and East Asian chip producers hold the advantage. "The core of our strategy is to lead in technology and attack the high-performance segments of the market," said John Kelly, senior vice president in charge of IBM's technology group. An advantage to having the semiconductor fabricating factory here, Kelly explained, was that it was very close to its research laboratories in nearby Westchester County, N.Y. To stay ahead in advanced chip technology, he said, moving innovations out of the labs and into the factory as fast as possible is crucial. "What we call the lab-to-fab time should be as close to zero as possible," Kelly said. "If our strategy were anything but to be on the leading edge, we'd have put the plant in Asia." The new factory, which will begin normal production early next year, will employ about 1,000 people. <sep>What does IBM's senior vice president in charge of their technology group, John Kelly, feel that the location of the new plant is so important?<sep>To increase the lab-to-fab time
[A]: No
[Q]: The Vice President stated that he called the President to discuss the rules of engagement for the CAP. He recalled feeling that it did no good to establish the CAP unless the pilots had instructions on whether they were authorized to shoot if the plane would not divert. He said the President signed off on that concept. The President said he remembered such a conversation, and that it reminded him of when he had been an interceptor pilot. The President emphasized to us that he had authorized the shootdown of hijacked aircraft. The Vice President's military aide told us he believed the Vice President spoke to the President just after entering the conference room, but he did not hear what they said. Rice, who entered the room shortly after the Vice President and sat next to him, remembered hearing him inform the President, "Sir, the CAPs are up. Sir, they're going to want to know what to do." Then she recalled hearing him say, "Yes sir." She believed this conversation occurred a few minutes, perhaps five, after they entered the conference room. We believe this call would have taken place sometime before 10:10 to 10:15. Among the sources that reflect other important events of that morning, there is no documentary evidence for this call, but the relevant sources are incomplete. Others nearby who were taking notes, such as the Vice President's chief of staff, Scooter Libby, who sat next to him, and Mrs. Cheney, did not note a call between the President and Vice President immediately after the Vice President entered the conference room. At 10:02, the communicators in the shelter began receiving reports from the Secret Service of an inbound aircraft-presumably hijacked-heading toward Washington. That aircraft was United 93. The Secret Service was getting this information directly from the FAA. The FAA may have been tracking the progress of United 93 on a display that showed its projected path to Washington, not its actual radar return. Thus, the Secret Service was relying on projections and was not aware the plane was already down in Pennsylvania. <sep>Why was the Secret Service's information about United 93 flawed?<sep>They were getting this information directly from the FAA. The FAA may have been tracking the progress of United 93 on a display that showed its projected path to Washington, not its actual radar return. They were basing their information on projections

Q: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
In a move that will save the company $6 billion by the end of 2020, General Motors announced a restructuring Monday that includes chopping its workforce by 15% and shuttering five plants next year.
The country’s largest automaker also announced it would discontinue the production of some of its models, shifting away from slower-selling sedans in favor of cross-overs, pickup trucks and SUVs. The shift also will allow the company to focus on electric and autonomous vehicles.
The company is no stranger to reconstruction. In 2009, GM filed for bankruptcy and was bailed out by US and Canadian taxpayers.
Many of the models the company plans to discontinue were among the more than 200,000 US vehicles recalled a few months ago due to a soft, spongey brake pedals.
Americans will begin to see less of these vehicles next year, as production for each of these vehicles will take place throughout the year.
Chevrolet Volt
Hitting the US market in late 2010, the Chevy Volt is a plug-in hybrid that was one of the first mainstream cars of its type. The vehicle operates first on battery power and when the charge gets low enough, a gas engine kicks in. Over the years, however, sales languished and the company came out with a second generation Volt in 2014, adding a more powerful battery that can go further on a charge and improving acceleration, and resulting in a boost in sales. The company sold its 100,000th Volt in August 2016.
Chevrolet Cruze
Chevrolet’s Cruze is a compact sedan that has been in production since 2008. In its first few years, the car rivaled other mainstays in the field, including the Honda Civic. By 2015, it was Chevrolet’s best-selling car, selling 3.5 million in its seven-year existence. In that same year, the company announced a newer generation of the car, sending a press release out about the vehicle made entirely of emojis.
Chevrolet Impala
The large sedan Impala was first launched by Chevrolet in the 1950s, with its sales peaking in the 60s and gradual sales decline over the next few decades. The 2014 model was well received, becoming the first US-made sedan to top the Consumer Report ratings in 20 years.
Cadillac CT6
Announced in 2015 as its flagship sedan, the Cadillac CT6 is a lightweight, rear-wheel-drive luxury car and just earlier this year added a newer model, the CT6-V. The vehicle will be still be offered as expected 2019 and the vehicles will be sold until they run out, GM spokespeople told auto publication The Drive.
Cadillac XTS
Cadillac introduced the XTS, a full-size four-door sedan, in 2012, though recent sales have dwindled alongside falling sales of sedans.
Buick LaCrosse
First launching in 2004, the Buick LaCrosse is the brand’s larger-sized sedan. In 2010, the model was completely redesigned and doubled in sales, appealing to recession customers that would have otherwise gone to higher-end brands such as Lexus and Audi. ||||| In a move that will save the company $6 billion by the end of 2020, General Motors announced a restructuring Monday that includes chopping its workforce by 15% and shuttering five plants next year.

North American customers want SUVs, crossovers, hatchbacks and trucks. Sedans have fallen out of favor.
As GM ( GM ) adjusts to changing customer behavior it is also planning ahead for the future. The company announced massive layoffs and is closing five North American facilities as it transitions to self-driving, electric cars of the future.
The soon-to-be closed plants mean GM will no longer make these cars:
Buick LaCrosse
January - September sales: 13,409, down 14.2%
The LaCrosse is a large car built by a brand that was a pioneer in small crossovers. Buick is still shifting heavily toward crossovers: Sales of the Encore and Enclave crossovers are both up this year. But Buick is struggling after turning itself around a few years ago.
Cadillac CT6
January - September sales: 7,270, down 10.6%
The only surprise of the bunch, the CT6 is an unusual choice for GM, because it serves as the tech halo for Cadillac. It's still the only car that has GM's Super Cruise semi-autonomous driving technology. But it's also the least popular Cadillac.
Cadillac XTS
January - September sales: 12,664, up 15.9%
Most XTS cars are sold to limousine and taxi companies. GM recently updated the XTS' design to keep customers happy, helping drive sales higher. It's the only car GM is killing that has performed better in the first nine months of 2018 than in the first nine months of 2017.
Chevrolet Cruze
January - September sales: 109,662, down 26.5%
The bestselling Chevy sedan, the Cruze is highly regarded among auto reviewers and enthusiasts. The Cruze was the "Consumer Reports" top pick for compact cars last year. It was beat out by the Toyota Corolla and a handful of other small cars this year, and sales have disappointed.
Chevrolet Impala
January - September sales: 43,952, down 13.4%
The recently redesigned Chevy Impala was the 2018 "Consumer Reports" top pick for large cars. But it's a large car in a market that seems to have forgotten that large cars exist. The Impala is among the worst-selling Chevrolets.
Chevrolet Volt
January - September sales: 13,243, down 13.7%
The Volt is a plug-in electric hybrid sedan lost in the excitement of all-electric cars. Chevy has been promoting the electric Bolt hatchback, though Bolt sales have fallen too. |||||
A: | Now that General Motors' big announcement that it will be shuttering five plants in North America and slashing thousands of jobs has started to settle in, more details are emerging on the vehicle production that will be affected. Included in the business restructuring is a shift away from sedans, which haven't been selling well, and toward SUVs, pickup trucks, electric cars, and hybrids. At the top of the discontinuation list, per Fortune and CNN, is the Chevy Volt, a plug-in electric hybrid sedan that has seen lagging sales of late. Five other sedans that, like the Volt, will cease production by the end of next year: the Chevy Cruze, a GM best-seller that was once the subject of a press release entirely in emoji; the Chevy Impala, among GM's worst sellers, despite being a Consumer Reports top pick; the Cadillac CT6, which CNN calls "the only surprise of the bunch," as it "serves as the tech halo for Cadillac" (though it's the Caddy that sells the least); the Cadillac XTS, a four-door sedan typically sold to taxi and limo firms; and the Buick LaCrosse, launched in 2004.

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 human developmental Age is evidenced at the monument Ca Na Costa?<sep>Ordered

How to settle property line disputes
Hire a licensed surveyor.
A licensed surveyor will use the legal description contained in your deed to locate your property's legal boundary.
You typically can find a land surveyor by searching the website of your state's licensing board.
OPTIONS:
- If your land is located in a state with an existing boundary, you can start a search by contacting local county land licensing boards. Land survey companies in the state may also search property lines for you.
- Search through the online ledger of your state's authorized to record land surveys to identify your property's legal boundaries. In addition to providing a record of the land survey that identifies your property, you'll also need to provide a set of pictures that show where your property has been surveyed and the transaction that brought that deed to its conclusion.

How to open a light bulb
Grip the solder point with pliers.
Look at the bottom of the light bulb and identify the small metal solder point. Grab this point firmly using a pair of needle-nose pliers.
OPTIONS:
- You will likely have to use only your middle and ring fingers to grab this point. The solder point needs to have a small flat area to sit on.
- The solder point is attached to the light bulb with wire and should not be pried open to access it. Be careful, as very small, soft solder slides, such as brown solder, can easily exit a light bulb with a simple twisting tool.
- Then, use your thumbs to grip the solder point. Hold the threads at ground level between your thumb and index and middle finger.
- You'll be breaking glass during this step and during many of the other steps in this process, so it might be best to work over a box or several sheets of newspaper. You should also wear goggles and gloves.

Unlike the myths in popular culture, hypnosis doesn't render you unconscious, and you cannot be forced to do anything against your will while under hypnosis.
Hypnosis first encourages you to relax.
OPTIONS:

Input: OSLO, Norway — Norwegian police have formally accused several foreign nationals over a 1993 attack on the Norwegian publisher of “The Satanic Verses,” thus preventing the statute of limitations from closing the case.
The National Criminal Investigation Service said Tuesday “foreign nationals who are not in Norway” were suspected of “attempted murder” in the attack on William Nygaard.
But the agency did not specify their number, identity or nationality.

William Nygaard was seriously wounded when he was shot three times in the back near his home in Oslo on October 11 1993.
No one was arrested for the attack, but police believe it was linked to the 1989 publication of the Norwegian version of Salman Rushdie’s “The Satanic Verses” by a publishing house that Nygaard ran.
This latest move by the police prevents the usual 25-year statute of limitations closing the case. It would have taken effect on October 11.
“I am relieved and pleased with the development in this case, not least that the authorities and the police say the attack appears to have targeted freedom of expression,” 75-year-old Nygaard said.
The case led to diplomatic tensions between Norway and Iran in the 1990s.
After the 1988 publication of the “Satanic Verses,” deemed blasphemous by some in the Muslim world, Iran’s former supreme leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a “fatwa” calling for the death of Salman Rushdie and his editors. ||||| OSLO (Reuters) - Norwegian police have filed accusations against several suspects in the 1993 shooting of author Salman Rushdie’s Norwegian publisher, the National Criminal Investigation Service said on Tuesday.
Police said the move was purely procedural, to keep the case active before a statute of limitations ban comes into force on the shooting’s 25th anniversary on Oct. 11.
Iran’s then Supreme Leader, the late Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, issued a fatwa, or religious edict, in 1989 calling on Muslims to kill Rushdie and others associated with his book “The Satanic Verses” for its alleged blasphemy.
Publisher William Nygaard was severely wounded in the subsequent attack outside his home in Oslo.
Police said on Tuesday the suspects were foreign citizens who lived abroad but did not name them. “We will do everything that’s realistically possible to solve this case,” police said in a statement.
Nygaard was not immediately available for comment.
Under Norwegian law, people facing accusations have the right to a lawyer. Formal charges, if they come, are filed at a later stage.
Khomeini’s successor as Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in 2005 that the fatwa was still valid. ||||| OSLO — William Nygaard, publisher of the Norwegian edition of Salman Rushdie’s novel “The Satanic Verses,” was shot three times and left for dead outside his home in a quiet suburb of Oslo on the morning of Oct. 11, 1993.
Twenty-five years later, just two days before a deadline that would have foreclosed prosecution, the Norwegian police have at last filed charges in the shooting of Mr. Nygaard, who recovered from his wounds. And the authorities stated what many people had always taken for granted: that the attack had to do with Mr. Rushdie’s book, which infuriated Muslims around the world — a theory that the police played down a generation ago.
“We have no reason to believe there is any other motive for the attempted killing than the publication of ‘The Satanic Verses,’ ” said Ida Dahl Nilssen, a spokeswoman for Norway’s National Criminal Investigation Service. The shooting was about more than an attack on one man, she said, it was a violent attempt to shut down free speech.
But the charges, announced on Tuesday, remain steeped in uncertainty, leaving it unclear how close the authorities really are to holding anyone responsible for one of Norway’s most notorious unsolved crimes. Officials have refused to say publicly what evidence they have or how many people have been charged, or to disclose the suspects’ names, nationalities or current locations. |||||
Output: | Police in Norway just made a move to keep alive the investigation into a 25-year-old shooting that captured the world's attention, reports Reuters. Back in 1993, the man who published Salman Rushdie's The Satanic Verses in Norway was shot three times outside his home. William Nygaard survived, but no arrests were ever made. This week—two days before a deadline that would have forced police to close the case—authorities finally filed charges, reports the New York Times. However, they're releasing few details, not specifying how many people are charged, their names, or what, if any, evidence exists. About the only thing authorities will say is that they think the shooting is indeed related to the controversy over Rushdie's book and that the suspects are "foreign nationals who are not in Norway," per the AFP. "This is good news, and one can hope that this 25-year-old case will now finally advance," Rushdie said in a statement, though he criticized the withholding of names and nationalities of the suspects. Nygaard, now 75, also praised the development and said he has no regrets about his decision to publish. As for his unexpected survival despite being shot three times: "I used to be a very good Norwegian ski jumper," he said. Rushdie's book first came out in 1988, and Iran's supreme leader at the time considered it so blasphemous to Islam that he issued a fatwa on Rushdie that forced the author into hiding and remains in effect to this day. As recently as 2016, groups in Iran raised $600,000 to beef up a bounty already estimated to be $4 million. |

In this task, you will be presented with a context passage, a question about that paragraph, and a possible answer to that question. The task is to check the validity of the answer. Answer with "Yes" or "No".
Light rays strike a reflecting surface. They are then reflected back. You can predict the angle of the reflected light. Imagine a ball bouncing off a surface. Light can do the same thing. That is, assuming the surface is shiny. So how do you know where light will go after it strikes a shiny surface? It depends on how the light initially strikes the shiny object. Light does not always go straight toward a surface. Therefore, not all light bounces straight back. Sometimes, light can hit a surface at an angle. The angle at which it strikes the surface tells us how it will bounce off. While light is different to a ball, they react in a similar manner. Many sports rely on knowledge of reflection. Pool players know a lot about reflection. They take great care when they strike the pool ball. They need it to go to a certain place. They know the angle it will hit the side of the pool table. <sep>What has to be true in order to use a knowledge of reflection to help in sports?<sep>The knowledge of ball sizes could help. | No |

How to clean hard water spots off windows
Fill a squirt bottle with half water and half vinegar.
The best vinegar to use is plain white distilled vinegar, which is inexpensive and effective. A higher concentration of vinegar may be even more effective, so adjust the vinegar to water ratio based on the severity of the water spots.
OPTIONS:
- Distilled white vinegar has been used for centuries as a cleaner. If you see any of the vinegar splashing over surface of your window, and you take a closer look, don't assume that it's something suet-based.
- Vinegar is strong but does not react with chemically treated agents, so if the water spots are less severe, it may not be as effective as white vinegar. If you prefer to use distilled water, stir the solution according to the manufacturer's label.
- Spray the vinegar solution on the glass. Spray the solution on the glass, being sure to fully saturate any stubborn water spots or areas of concentrated buildup.
- If you have weak spots on your windows that you want to wipe off, distilled white vinegar may be better to use. Unscrew the cap from the bottle.

How to delay foreclosure
Research the foreclosure process.
When you purchase your home, the mortgage becomes a lien on the property. This lien gives the bank the legal right to repossess the property if you fail to pay the mortgage.
OPTIONS:
- You may be unable to pay this lien on the property if you fail to have it repossessed by the lender. You should seek an experienced realtor who has successfully secured foreclosure agreements.
- The lien holder has two different options for foreclosure. In judicial foreclosures, the bank uses the legal system to take back the property.
- In most cases, the lender would simply repossess the property if all the conditions of the will are met and the home is saved for a future investment. This will be the most efficient way to delay foreclosure.
- When you buy a home that is already in foreclosure, you normally pay up to 50% interest. You have a few months to pay off the due amount.

Problem:(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>As a private investigator, who does Spero Lucas work for in Pelecanos newest novel, "The Cut"?<sep>Politician

Example Input: Flashbacks reveal that his wife (Salli Richardson) and daughter (Willow Smith) died in a helicopter accident during the chaotic evacuation of Manhattan, prior to the military-enforced quarantine of the island in 2009, when Neville stayed behind on the island as military personnel. Neville's only mitigation for his loneliness is his German Shepherd named Samantha, a.k.a. Sam (given to him by his daughter as a puppy to protect him before she died in the helicopter crash), interaction with mannequins he has set up as patrons at a video store, and recordings of old television broadcasts. At night, he barricades himself and Sam inside his heavily fortified Washington Square Park home to hide from the Darkseekers. One day, while waiting for survivors, Sam follows a deer into a dark building. Neville cautiously goes in after her and finds the deer's corpse along with Sam, but the building is infested by a colony of Darkseekers. Both manage to escape unharmed and the attacking Darkseekers are killed by the sunlight.

Example Input: Article III of the United States Constitution does not specify the number of justices. The Judiciary Act of 1789 called for the appointment of six ``judges''. Although an 1801 act would have reduced the size of the court to five members upon its next vacancy, an 1802 act promptly negated the 1801 act, legally restoring the court's size to six members before any such vacancy occurred. As the nation's boundaries grew, Congress added justices to correspond with the growing number of judicial circuits: seven in 1807, nine in 1837, and ten in 1863.
