Let me give you an example: Powdered sugar, also called confectioners' sugar, icing sugar, and icing cake, is a finely ground sugar produced by milling granulated sugar into a powdered state. It usually contains a small amount of anti-caking agent to prevent clumping and improve flow. Although most often produced in a factory, powdered sugar can also be made by processing ordinary granulated sugar in a coffee grinder, or by crushing it by hand in a mortar and pestle.
The answer to this example can be: is confectionary sugar the same as powdered sugar?
Here is why: The question is a yes/no question, and it is answerable based on the given passage.

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

Surprise! Nicollette Sheridan not only recently got married, but is also splitting from her new spouse already. The Desperate Housewives alum, 52, has filed for divorce from her husband of six months, Aaron Phypers, the Los Angeles Public Information Office confirms to Us Weekly.
The couple had been having issues and separated a month ago, TMZ reports, citing court documents. The site also notes that according to the filing, Sheridan is asking the judge to deny spousal support.
The actress was first spotted with Phypers in December 2014.
This is the second divorce for the Beverly Hills Ninja star, who was previously married to Harry Hamlin.
Sheridan and the Mad Men alum, who is now married to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Lisa Rinna, tied the knot in 1991 before splitting in 1993.
The Knots Landing star was previously engaged to her trainer Nicklas Soderblon in 2004, and to singer Michael Bolton in 2006.
Sheridan, who earned a Golden Globe nomination for her portrayal of Edie Britt on the hit ABC series Desperate Housewives, last appeared in the 2016 Hallmark Channel movie All Yours.

Reducing resource use means just what it says using fewer resources. There are lots of ways to reduce our use of resources. Buy durable goods. Choose items that are well made so they will last longer. Youll buy fewer items in the long run, so youll save money as well as resources. Thats a win-win! Repair rather than replace. Fix your bike rather than buying a new one. Sew on a button instead of buying a new shirt. Youll use fewer resources and save money. Buy only what you need. Dont buy a gallon of milk if you can only drink half of it before it spoils. Instead, buy a half gallon and drink all of it. You wont be wasting resources (or money!) Buy local. For example, buy local produce at a farmers market, like the one in Figure 2.20. A lot of resources are saved by not shipping goods long distances. Products bought at farmers markets use less packaging, too! About a third of what we throw out is packaging. <sep>How is it a win-win to buy durable goods?<sep>You will have more things at a lower cost

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Input: Consider Input: The red in the nazi flag was symbolic of what, Context: Red, white, and black were the colors of the German Empire from 1870 to 1918, and as such they came to be associated with German nationalism. In the 1920s they were adopted as the colors of the Nazi flag. In Mein Kampf, Hitler explained that they were "revered colors expressive of our homage to the glorious past." The red part of the flag was also chosen to attract attention - Hitler wrote: "the new flag ... should prove effective as a large poster" because "in hundreds of thousands of cases a really striking emblem may be the first cause of awakening interest in a movement." The red also symbolized the social program of the Nazis, aimed at German workers. Several designs by a number of different authors were considered, but the one adopted in the end was Hitler's personal design.
Output: the social program of the Nazis, aimed at German workers
Input: Consider Input: What was the name of the person who joined in on the coup with Xianfeng's empress?, Context: These years saw an evolution in the participation of Empress Dowager Cixi (Wade–Giles: Tz'u-Hsi) in state affairs. She entered the imperial palace in the 1850s as a concubine to the Xianfeng Emperor (r. 1850–1861) and came to power in 1861 after her five-year-old son, the Tongzhi Emperor ascended the throne. She, the Empress Dowager Ci'an (who had been Xianfeng's empress), and Prince Gong (a son of the Daoguang Emperor), staged a coup that ousted several regents for the boy emperor. Between 1861 and 1873, she and Ci'an served as regents, choosing the reign title "Tongzhi" (ruling together). Following the emperor's death in 1875, Cixi's nephew, the Guangxu Emperor, took the throne, in violation of the dynastic custom that the new emperor be of the next generation, and another regency began. In the spring of 1881, Ci'an suddenly died, aged only forty-three, leaving Cixi as sole regent.
Output: Prince Gong
Input: Consider Input: Another name for SOPAC, Context: In July 2012 a United Nations Special Rapporteur called on the Tuvalu Government to develop a national water strategy to improve access to safe drinking water and sanitation.

Q: Darī (Dari: دری (daˈɾiː)) or Dari Persian (فارسی دری Fārsī-ye Darī (fɒːɾsije daˈɾiː)) or synonymously Farsi (فارسی Fārsī (fɒːɾsiː)) is the variety of the Persian language spoken in Afghanistan. Dari is the term officially recognized and promoted since 1964 by the Afghan government for the Persian language, hence, it is also known as Afghan Persian in many Western sources. This has resulted in a naming dispute. Many Persian speakers in Afghanistan prefer and use the name 'Farsi' and say the term Dari has been forced on them by the dominant Pashtun ethnic group as an attempt to distance Afghans from their cultural, linguistic, and historical ties to the Persian-speaking world, which includes Iran and Tajikistan.
A: | what's the difference between farsi and dari |

Albrecht Durer (/'dU@r@r, 'djU@r@r/; German: ['albRect 'dy:Ra]; 21 May 1471 - 6 April 1528) was a painter, printmaker and theorist of the German Renaissance. Born in Nuremberg, Durer established his reputation and influence across Europe when he was still in his twenties, due to his high-quality woodcut prints. He was in communication with the major Italian artists of his time, including Raphael, Giovanni Bellini and Leonardo da Vinci, and from 1512 he was patronized by emperor Maximilian I. His vast body of work includes engravings, his preferred technique in his later prints, altarpieces, portraits and self-portraits, watercolours and books. The woodcuts, such as the Apocalypse series (1498), retain a more Gothic flavour than the rest of his work. His well-known engravings include the Knight, Death, and the Devil (1513), Saint Jerome in his Study (1514) and Melencolia I (1514), which has been the subject of extensive analysis and interpretation. His watercolours also mark him as one of the first European landscape artists, while his ambitious woodcuts revolutionized the potential of that medium. Durer's introduction of classical motifs into Northern art, through his knowledge of Italian artists and German humanists, has secured his reputation as one of the most important figures of the Northern Renaissance. This is reinforced by his theoretical treatises, which involve principles of mathematics, perspective and ideal proportions. <sep>What are three mediums that he is known for?<sep>Printmaker

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Input: Consider Input: what type of land formation was mentioned last?, Context: The city grew out towards the west of the boundaries of the peninsula formed by the River Aare. The Zytglogge tower marked the western boundary of the city from 1191 until 1256, when the Käfigturm took over this role until 1345. It was, in turn, succeeded by the Christoffelturm (formerly located close to the site of the modern-day railway station) until 1622. During the time of the Thirty Years' War, two new fortifications – the so-called big and small Schanze (entrenchment) – were built to protect the whole area of the peninsula.
Output: peninsula
Input: Consider Input: What was the thoughts about a certain event made her visits less palatable?, Context: Victoria visited mainland Europe regularly for holidays. In 1889, during a stay in Biarritz, she became the first reigning monarch from Britain to set foot in Spain when she crossed the border for a brief visit. By April 1900, the Boer War was so unpopular in mainland Europe that her annual trip to France seemed inadvisable. Instead, the Queen went to Ireland for the first time since 1861, in part to acknowledge the contribution of Irish regiments to the South African war. In July, her second son Alfred ("Affie") died; "Oh, God! My poor darling Affie gone too", she wrote in her journal. "It is a horrible year, nothing but sadness & horrors of one kind & another."
Output: unpopular
Input: Consider Input: Milling is a form of?, Context: When maintenance is performed on asphalt pavements, such as milling to remove a worn or damaged surface, the removed material can be returned to a facility for processing into new pavement mixtures. The asphalt/bitumen in the removed material can be reactivated and put back to use in new pavement mixes. With some 95% of paved roads being constructed of or surfaced with asphalt, a substantial amount of asphalt pavement material is reclaimed each year. According to industry surveys conducted annually by the Federal Highway Administration and the National Asphalt Pavement Association, more than 99% of the asphalt removed each year from road surfaces during widening and resurfacing projects is reused as part of new pavements, roadbeds, shoulders and embankments.

what did the Scottish twona react to?, Context: Meanwhile, the authorities in Glasgow, Scotland successfully petitioned the government to pass the Glasgow Police Act establishing the City of Glasgow Police in 1800. Other Scottish towns soon followed suit and set up their own police forces through acts of parliament. In Ireland, the Irish Constabulary Act of 1822 marked the beginning of the Royal Irish Constabulary. The Act established a force in each barony with chief constables and inspectors general under the control of the civil administration at Dublin Castle. By 1841 this force numbered over 8,600 men.
Glasgow Police Act
What makes one species provide us with a bunch of different meal options?, Context: Interspecific crop diversity is, in part, responsible for offering variety in what we eat. Intraspecific diversity, the variety of alleles within a single species, also offers us choice in our diets. If a crop fails in a monoculture, we rely on agricultural diversity to replant the land with something new. If a wheat crop is destroyed by a pest we may plant a hardier variety of wheat the next year, relying on intraspecific diversity. We may forgo wheat production in that area and plant a different species altogether, relying on interspecific diversity. Even an agricultural society which primarily grows monocultures, relies on biodiversity at some point.
the variety of alleles
What did Lagrange study?, Context: Mathematicians often strive for a complete classification (or list) of a mathematical notion. In the context of finite groups, this aim leads to difficult mathematics. According to Lagrange's theorem, finite groups of order p, a prime number, are necessarily cyclic (abelian) groups Zp. Groups of order p2 can also be shown to be abelian, a statement which does not generalize to order p3, as the non-abelian group D4 of order 8 = 23 above shows. Computer algebra systems can be used to list small groups, but there is no classification of all finite groups.q[›] An intermediate step is the classification of finite simple groups.r[›] A nontrivial group is called simple if its only normal subgroups are the trivial group and the group itself.s[›] The Jordan–Hölder theorem exhibits finite simple groups as the building blocks for all finite groups. Listing all finite simple groups was a major achievement in contemporary group theory. 1998 Fields Medal winner Richard Borcherds succeeded in proving the monstrous moonshine conjectures, a surprising and deep relation between the largest finite simple sporadic group—the "monster group"—and certain modular functions, a piece of classical complex analysis, and string theory, a theory supposed to unify the description of many physical phenomena.

What happened in the 62nd year of the 18th century?, Context: In 1762, George III acquired Buckingham House and it was enlarged over the next 75 years. During the 18th century, London was dogged by crime, and the Bow Street Runners were established in 1750 as a professional police force. In total, more than 200 offences were punishable by death, including petty theft. Most children born in the city died before reaching their third birthday. The coffeehouse became a popular place to debate ideas, with growing literacy and the development of the printing press making news widely available; and Fleet Street became the centre of the British press.
George III acquired Buckingham House
What is not a source of interspersed repeats: transposable elements or genome evolution?, Context: Interspersed repeats mainly come from transposable elements (TEs), but they also include some protein coding gene families and pseudogenes. Transposable elements are able to integrate into the genome at another site within the cell. It is believed that TEs are an important driving force on genome evolution of higher eukaryotes. TEs can be classified into two categories, Class 1 (retrotransposons) and Class 2 (DNA transposons).

What allowed Rescator to succeed?, Context: In 2013 and 2014, a Russian/Ukrainian hacking ring known as "Rescator" broke into Target Corporation computers in 2013, stealing roughly 40 million credit cards, and then Home Depot computers in 2014, stealing between 53 and 56 million credit card numbers. Warnings were delivered at both corporations, but ignored; physical security breaches using self checkout machines are believed to have played a large role. "The malware utilized is absolutely unsophisticated and uninteresting," says Jim Walter, director of threat intelligence operations at security technology company McAfee – meaning that the heists could have easily been stopped by existing antivirus software had administrators responded to the warnings. The size of the thefts has resulted in major attention from state and Federal United States authorities and the investigation is ongoing.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Example Input: How did ITV specifically think bid details had been leaked, Context: In the autumn of 1991, talks were held for the broadcast rights for Premier League for a five-year period, from the 1992 season. ITV were the current rights holders, and fought hard to retain the new rights. ITV had increased its offer from £18m to £34m per year to keep control of the rights. BSkyB joined forces with the BBC to make a counter bid. The BBC was given the highlights of most of the matches, while BSkyB paying £304m for the Premier League rights, would give them a monopoly of all live matches, up to 60 per year from the 1992 season. Murdoch described sport as a "battering ram" for pay-television, providing a strong customer base. A few weeks after the deal, ITV went to the High Court to get an injunction as it believed their bid details had been leaked before the decision was taken. ITV also asked the Office of Fair Trading to investigate since it believed Rupert Murdoch's media empire via its newspapers had influenced the deal. A few days later neither action took effect, ITV believed BSkyB was telephoned and informed of its £262m bid, and Premier League advised BSkyB to increase its counter bid.
Example Output: ITV believed BSkyB was telephoned and informed of its £262m bid, and Premier League advised BSkyB to increase its counter bid
Example Input: When did large scale production of such vehicles begin?, Context: The Hummers that Schwarzenegger bought 1992 are so large – each weighs 6,300 lb (2,900 kg) and is 7 feet (2.1 m) wide – that they are classified as large trucks, and U.S. fuel economy regulations do not apply to them. During the gubernatorial recall campaign he announced that he would convert one of his Hummers to burn hydrogen. The conversion was reported to have cost about US$21,000. After the election, he signed an executive order to jump-start the building of hydrogen refueling plants called the California Hydrogen Highway Network, and gained a U.S. Department of Energy grant to help pay for its projected US$91,000,000 cost. California took delivery of the first H2H (Hydrogen Hummer) in October 2004.
Example Output: After the election
Example Input: What is the opposite of a falsehood?, Context: The teachings on the Four Noble Truths are regarded as central to the teachings of Buddhism, and are said to provide a conceptual framework for Buddhist thought. These four truths explain the nature of dukkha (suffering, anxiety, unsatisfactoriness), its causes, and how it can be overcome. The four truths are:[note 4]

Q: The Times: ‘Jailed rapist given chance to see his victim’s child’. Rotherham council have offered convicted rapist access to my son. This is happening all over the UK and must stop! An investigation and change in law is needed. https://twitter.com/bbcnews/status/1067189356887183361?s=12 …pic.twitter.com/7nJ1jnvJGN ||||| A VICTIM of Rotherham’s child sex grooming gang has slammed a council for offering her rapist access to the son he conceived during his attacks.
Brave Sammy Woodhouse, 33, was just 15 when she gave birth to drug-dealing brute Arshid Hussain’s boy.
9 Sammy Woodhouse has slammed a council for giving her Rotherham grooming gang rapist access to the son he fathered during his attacks
She fell pregnant to him after he repeatedly raped her and was later jailed for 35 years for abusing up to 50 young white girls.
But Rotherham council bosses in the town contacted Hussain, 43, in prison and offered him the chance to see his son behind bars.
Last night Sammy waved her anonymity, posting an emotional video on twitter.
She said: “This story is about myself, my son and the man that raped me and the fact Rotherham Council have offered him to apply for parental rights over my child.

9 Sammy mothered brute Arshid Hussain’s boy
9 Rapist Arshid Hussain was told in jail that he may have visitation rights to the boy
“This is happening all over the country and it needs to stop.
“Children are being removed, given to rapists, murderers, for their family to have access.
“Rape victims are also having to go to support centres to share access, to see the men that raped them.
“I’m now calling on the government to change the law to ensure rapists can’t gain access to children conceived through rape.
“I’m asking the public to join the campaign. People - women and children - are being put at direct risk.”
Sammy said she was revealing her identity with her son’s permission.
She was even warned that she might have to face the serial rapist again in court, having previously given evidence against him.

9 She says the council were prepared to put her boy in a position of risk with a known child rapist
The brave mum added: “I was gobsmacked. The council knew what he did to me and to other vulnerable girls.
“They knew he was behind bars and a risk to my son, who wanted nothing to do with him, but they bent over backwards to include him in the case.
“I felt angry and scared for my son.”
Campaigners described the decision as “perverse” and said it amounted to an offer to “retraumatise” his victim.
The Ministry of Justice has launched its own probe.
Louise Haigh, the shadow police and crime minister, said that the council’s decision to offer the multiple rapist a role in the proceedings was “appallingly insensitive”.
She added: “They handed him an invitation to retraumatise his victim.

“No man who has fathered a child through abuse or rape should have the right to apply for custody or visitation rights in the family courts.”
Baroness Newlove, the victims’ commissioner for England and Wales, said: “This appears to be a case in which a victim of the worst sexual violence faced the prospect of continuing to be abused by her perpetrator, this time via the family courts.”
A family court judge heard the child’s case last year.
The council was seeking a care order with the support of his mum, who was unable to cope with the troubled boy’s complex needs and agreed that he would receive greater protection in a residential placement.
By law, a local authority making such an application is obliged to give notice of the proceedings to all “respondents” in the case.
These include anyone with “parental responsibility” for the child.
The local authority told Hussain in prison of his rights and promised to keep him informed of all future proceedings.
He was told he could attend hearings and would have been entitled to request visitation rights or for the boy to be placed in the custody of his relatives.

In the event the rapist chose not to take any part in the court proceedings.
Rotherham council said it had a duty to comply with Family Court practice, including a requirement to notify "every person whom the applicant believes to be a parent without parental responsibility for the child".
A Government spokesman said: "Existing court rules are very clear that applicants in care proceedings should only ever notify people who have parental responsibility for the child."

A: | An eye-popping story out of Northern England, where the Times of London reports a convicted rapist was contacted by the Rotherham Council while incarcerated and invited to seek out visits with the son he fathered through rape. The child's mother was 15 when she became pregnant by Arshid Hussain, and the Sun explains the origins of what one official calls an "appallingly insensitive" move: The boy, now a teen, reportedly has needs beyond his mother's capacity, and so a case was brought to family court regarding placing him elsewhere. The law requires the local authority handling such cases to alert all "respondents," a category that includes those "with or without formal parental responsibility" for the child. Though Hussain was listed in court documents as not having such responsibility, he was listed as a "respondent" all the same and alerted by the local authority of what was happening. The boy's mother, Sammy Woodhouse, tells the BBC she was devastated upon learning about the situation. She took to Twitter Tuesday to decry the situation and to change the law "to ensure that rapists can't gain access to children conceived through rape and abuse." She was one of nine Rotherham girls that factored into the 43-year-old's 2016 conviction; he was given a 35-year sentence. The Times reports Hussain opted not to seek a role in the boy's case, but Woodhouse wants an investigation of the matter all the same: "This is happening to people all over the country. It's wrong and it's got to stop." (Many US states allow rapists to seek custody of children conceived during a sexual assault.) |

KANSAS CITY, Kan. -- Kansas City, Kansas, investigators say they believe they have identified a potential suspect in the 26-year-old unsolved murder of 19-year-old college student Sarah Jo DeLeon. Police say the suspect is a woman and the motive may have been a romantic rivalry, but they are not releasing the suspect’s name, reports CBS affiliate KCTV.
Police reopened the investigation in July of 2014 after getting assistance with new forensic testing from the FBI, reports the station. Detective Scott Howard says the investigation has revealed that the suspect and an accomplice have been involved in other incidents involving the harassment and intimidation of romantic rivals.
DeLeon’s body was found dumped along railroad tracks on the western edge of the city in 1989, with a head wound and multiple stab wounds, the Kansas City Star reports. According to the paper, detectives say they may have a link between DeLeon’s killing and another cold case -- the unsolved 1994 slaying of Diana Marie Ault in Independence, Missouri. Ault, 26, was reportedly shot to death in her home near her young children.
Investigators aren’t saying why they believe the deaths of DeLeon and Ault are connected, but they also believe the two murders could be linked to a Feb. 13, 1987 abduction. In that case, they say a victim was tricked into leaving her home in a limousine and taken to the American Inn at 78th Street and Interstate 70 in Kansas City.
Police are asking anyone with information about the 1987 abduction to come forward, as it may aid in a possible prosecution in DeLeon’s murder. Tipsters should call 816-474-TIPS. ||||| These crawls are part of an effort to archive pages as they are created and archive the pages that they refer to.

A: | They aren't naming names yet, but police detectives in Kansas City, Kan., say they have identified a suspect in the unsolved murder of Sarah Jo DeLeon, who was 19 when her body was found in 1989. What's more, they say the suspect is a woman from the area, and that she may be linked to two other cold cases—the murder of Diana Marie Ault in Independence, Mo., in 1994, and an unsolved abduction in Kansas City in 1987, reports the Kansas City Star. "The investigation has revealed that the suspect and an accomplice have been involved in other incidents involving the harassment and intimidation of romantic rivals," Detective Scott Howard says. "We're coming to a conclusion." The Kansas City police department reopened the case in 2014 with new DNA collection and testing technology, and have spent more than $50,000 on trying to crack the DeLeon case. The teen community college student was found along railroad tracks with a head wound and multiple stab wounds, and her car was found with its door open and hazards flashing about a mile from her home, but there was no evidence of a struggle or sexual assault. Police say the suspect and possible accomplice have a motive that may involve romantic rivalry, reports CBS News. For now, investigators are asking the public for any leads on the "abduction by deception" in 1987 that involved tricking a woman out of her home and into a limousine that took her to an American Inn. "We believe that we can show a pattern of behavior that links this to the DeLeon homicide and other crimes," Howard says. (This notorious cold case also involved a female suspect.) |

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 did Carthaginians capitalize on in Ibiza?<sep>Salt to cure fish
A: Yes

Q: 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 were the specimens of penmanship shown for?<sep>To win the prize

Q: The factory is highly automated and designed to shift flexibly to produce many different kinds of chips to suit demand. "The diversity is the big difference with this plant," said Richard Doherty, president of Envisioneering, a research firm. "It gives IBM the capability to make so many different kinds of custom chips, and the world is going to custom chips." The 140,000-square-foot plant is a testament to advanced manufacturing technology. The 300-millimeter silicon wafers -- about the size of a standard pizza -- are shuttled around the facility in enclosed plastic pods, which ride on overhead tracks. They drop down from wires automatically into machines, sheathed in stainless steel and glass, for each stage of processing and fabrication. Throughout the 500 processing steps, which typically last 20 days, the wafers are not touched by human hands. The circuits etched into the chips are less than one thousandth the width of a human hair. Human operators are there to monitor the systems, catch errors and fine-tune the production process for maximum efficiency. Because each of the hundreds of processing machines is self-enclosed, and essentially airtight, the uniforms operators wear are less constricting than in the previous generation of chip plants, which looked like space suits. The operators at the East Fishkill factory wear light nylon uniforms, light blue shoe coverings and translucent hair nets made of paper. They look more like workers in a bakery. Yes, said Richard Brilla, director of the new facility, "but the donuts are a lot more costly here." Each wafer, holding hundreds of chips, is worth $6,000 to $10,000 apiece, depending on what insulation, circuitry and materials are used. <sep>How big are the wafers that are not touched by human hands?<sep>300 millimeter

The Golden Heian Era: The geomancers in 794 decided that Heian-kyo (modern Kyoto) would be an auspicious site for the imperial family. It was indeed — until 1869. Grants of tax-free land over the years had been made to Buddhist temples and members of the court aristocracy. The most powerful families thus carved out for themselves whole regions that were to become the fiefdoms of Japanese feudalism. By the end of the eighth century the clans had created a hierarchy of shiki, or rights, from the highest to the lowest ranks of society. The aristocrat or court patron lent his prestige to a powerful provincial proprietor, who employed a competent estate-manager to oversee smallholders, who in turn worked their farms with dependent laborers. This elaborate structure of interdependent rights and obligations was to serve Japanese society right into the 20th century. Meanwhile, Heian court life blossomed in an effusion of aesthetic expression. Princes and princesses judged the merits of birds, insects, flowers, roots, or seashells. Literary party games held in ornate palace gardens required each guest to compose a small poem as his wine cup floated toward him along a miniature winding channel of water. Expeditions were organized to the best viewing points for the first spring cherry blossoms, and special pavilions were built to watch the rising of the full moon. Every gesture, from the most banal opening of an umbrella to the sublimest act of lovemaking, had its appropriate ceremonial. Conversation often took the form of elegant exchanges of improvised verse. The changing role of Chinese culture in Japanese life was epitomized in the language itself. In the absence of an indigenous alphabet, Japanese scholars had with the greatest difficulty tried to adapt the complex ideograms of monosyllabic Chinese to the essentially polysyllabic Japanese. Thus developed the katakana system used as a vehicle for writing Buddhist names and concepts. After rival Fujiwara factions had been struggling for years to gain control of the imperial throne, they turned to the Taira and Minamoto armies in 1156 to wage the four-year war that heralded the end of the golden age of the Heian court. The Taira, controlling the region along the Inland Sea, defeated the Minamoto armies based in the Kanto province east of the capital. <sep>What time period was Heian-kyo used as a site for the imperial family?<sep>From 794 to 1869
A: | Yes |

Problem:Tumblr asks Brazilians to send in their most interesting screen grabs from the first week of Google Street View images of the country. The responses reveal more bodies, as well as what might be an assault, and a statue with its face blurred.
When Google Street View launched in Brazil last week, it seemed as if it revealed so much about life in one of the world's most vibrant and fastest-growing countries.
Images of four dead bodies, in Rio and Belo Horizonte, were, for some, stunning and, for others, sadly normal.
A Tumblr feed called Street Viu was set up so Brazilians could offer their most interesting images from the new service. In just a few days this feed has offered quite a fascinating look at what the Google cameras captured.
Tumblr contributors have sent in shots of more bodies, lying in alleyways or on sidewalks.
Though Google has worked hard to erase these images as soon as it is alerted and has asked the public to use the Street View tools to flag difficult sights, one particularly disturbing image, which, at the time of writing, is still up, shows a man using a public telephone while a body lies beneath him, totally ignored. It is not clear if it is a dead body or merely someone who is passed out, but it is extremely jarring.
What is going on here? (Credit: Screenshot: Chris Matyszczyk/CNET)
When Street View was released in other countries, one heard of the occasional Brit vomiting in the street, and the occasional drunken Australian sleeping on the curb. But the Brazilian experience seems to suggest that Street View isn't merely a useful encyclopedia of street images, but a snapshot of a society.
Brazilian Tumblr posters have offered what, to them, depicts some of the more interesting aspects of today's Brazil. This image from Sao Paolo, for example, might depict an altercation, with two men against one, and a passerby looking on.
Yet as if to counterbalance the dark and the sad, some posters contributed images that they just found funny. And some posters took delight in the images of Street View cars capturing other Street View cars (or themselves), as if nothing can possibly evade Google's eyes.
Perhaps my favorite, though, is this image of a large statue with a proportionately small man walking beneath it. Google's face-blurring technology has decided to blur the face of the statue, while the man's face, at least to my eyes, seems far more clear.
As Street View is now on seven continents (welcome, Antarctica), one wonders what photographic exhibitions will be offered by those who choose to pore over every frame, seeking to find symbols of a nation and a time.
It will be interesting to see how many more dramatic, disturbing, or amusing images will be unearthed by Brazil's Tumblr contributors in the weeks ahead. ||||| Less than a week after its debut in the South American country, the search engine giant withdrew the images following complaints.
One of the images posted last week on several websites included one that showed a body covered up with black plastic on a busy avenue in Rio de Janeiro.
It was surrounded by military police cars on the street corner in Belo Horizonte, as officers hold back a crowd of onlookers.
Another image appears to show a body lying at the edge of another Rio road, Avenida Presidente Vargas, as cars drive past. There does not appear to be any police cars or other bystanders visible.
It is not known if the drivers of the Street View cars saw the bodies.
Other internet blogs have reported bodies also showing up in street images of other cities in Latin America's biggest nation.
Brazil is the first South American country to get the controversial service. It was announced last week it would map Antarctica.
According to the latest figures available from the United Nations, there were more than 48,000 homicides recorded in Brazil in 2007. This was less than the 51,000 recorded in 2003.
A Google spokesman said in a statement that "all images of the bodies were removed" from its mapping service.
The tech giant has previously said that Street View images were “no different to what anyone might expect to see for themselves around the country”.
“Sometimes that means our cars inadvertently capture odd or inappropriate moments as they drive past,” the spokesman said.
''This is why we have put in place tools so that if people see what they believe to be inappropriate, they can report them to us using the simple reporting tool and the images will be quickly removed or further blurring applied.''
In August, a schoolgirl, Azura Beebeejaun, 10, sparked panic after she was photographed lying face down and seemingly dead on Google Street View.

Solution: | Google's Street View has come to Brazil, but only a week after its debut in South America, the tech giant has been hit with complaints of grisly images available on the service, the Telegraph reports. It seems the world at large is not quite ready for an unadulterated look at the streets of Rio de Janeiro, whose homicide problem is laid bare by a number of Street View photos showing dead bodies and police investigating crime scenes. A blog, Street Viu, has been set up to collect the most striking images caught by Google's cameras before they are removed, notes CNET. Individual images may be shocking, but they are “no different to what anyone might expect to see for themselves around the country,” says a Google representative. “Sometimes that means our cars inadvertently capture odd or inappropriate moments as they drive past.” The company promises to remove offending photos as soon as they are reported. |

Problem:'Twas an honor seeing @GloriaSteinem at the #sacklercenterfirsts tonight. She's lovely and a fan of moi, naturally! pic.twitter.com/7ChGIXptz5 — Miss Piggy (@RealMissPiggy) June 5, 2015
Miss Piggy, a recurring and beloved character in Jim Henson’s “Muppets” universe, has received a Sackler Center First Award from the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum.
Previous honorees include Pulitzer Prize winning novelist Toni Morrison, retired Supreme Court justice Sandra Day O’Connor and Muriel Siebert, the first female trader on the New York Stock Exchange.
“This week moi is being honored — and deservedly so,” Miss Piggy explained in a Time editorial “… Isn’t it wonderful? Isn’t it about time?”
“She is definitely her own self,” Steinem said. “She isn’t trying to be either totally masculine or totally feminine, she’s human.”

Kermit the Frog tweeted an image of Piggy in conversation with Steinem.
“Quick shot of @RealMissPiggy and @GloriaSteinem in conversation at the Sackler Center First Awards,” someone purporting to be Kermit wrote. “So proud!!”

The Sackler Center First Awards, presented by Steinem and Elizabeth Sackler, a historian and activist, “is an annual event honoring extraordinary women who are first in their fields,” according to the center’s Web site.
“She has spirit. She has determination. She has grit,” Sackler told USA Today. “She has inspired children to be who you are — and this squares very directly with feminism.”
In an interview with Newsweek in April, Sackler explained why Miss Piggy had been chosen as an honoree.
“Kermit and Miss Piggy have been very much a part of my children’s generation’s lives and as a result, a part of mine,” she said. “I have always seen all of the Muppets as extraordinary examples and incredible characters that teach all people — including children, of course — about the different aspects of life: the great parts, the hard parts, the challenges, the beauties.”
Sackler recalled an occasion in 1979 in which Miss Piggy showed heroism, saving her beau Kermit from bad guys in “The Muppet Movie.”
“I thought, ‘My god, she has transcended. She has brought to life the kind of defense and survival mechanisms that human beings truly have,’” Sackler said. “I think part of what Miss Piggy brings is the essence of different aspects of humanness.”
“Move over, Taylor Swift,” the Huffington Post wrote. “Miss Piggy is here to claim her rightful place as a modern feminist icon.”
Only the Onion’s A.V. Club, reporting the award when it was announced in April, seemed suspicious.
“The brassy and commanding porcine is set to receive the award in person at a ceremony on June 4,” the publication wrote, “if by ‘in person’ it’s clear that we mean someone manipulating a puppet will pretend that the puppet is actually able to move and talk.” ||||| We've detected that JavaScript is disabled in your browser.

Yes ||||| Sandra Day O’Connor. Toni Morrison. Anita Hill. Miss Piggy?
On Wednesday evening, the beloved puppet joined those icons in the feminist pantheon when she received the Sackler Center for Feminist Art’s First Award at the Brooklyn Museum.
Elizabeth Sackler, the founder of the awards, told msnbc, “Miss Piggy embodies overtly all the characteristics that women need to have in order to really succeed. We’re talking about tenacity, strength, intelligence, strategy, a sense of humor… She also believes that who you are is all you need to be and [to] really go for it.”

The choice was not without controversy. Sure, Miss Piggy is confident, but what about her constant nagging of and clinging to Kermit, a sexist stereotype if there ever was one? Besides, not long ago Miss Piggy declared in an interview that she is not a feminist.
Onstage to receive her award, Miss Piggy conceded she herself had doubted her feminist bonafides most, but that she had recently undergone a transformation. “As of today,” she announced, “I am a feminist.”
In an interview with msnbc, Miss Piggy added, “Especially since I’m being awarded a feminist icon award.”
Miss Piggy also gamely submitted to questions about her politics.
Is she pro-choice? “I’m pro-everything.”
Why not Ms. Piggy? “I’ve spent so much money marketing myself, I think it would be unwise.”
Beside her sat Gloria Steinem, who co-founded “Ms.” magazine. “I think the idea is, you can call yourself anything you want,” Steinem said. As for Piggy’s feminism, Steinem said, “She understands you can bat your eyelashes and do karate chops. People think being a feminist is about being more like men. It’s not.”
So what is feminism about?
“I think you’re looking at it,” said Miss Piggy, referring to herself and Steinem. “We’re tough, strong, intelligent, and yeah, beautiful, inside and out.” |||||
Solution: | Miss Piggy has joined the ranks of female role models such as Sandra Day O'Connor, Toni Morrison, and Muriel Siebert, the first woman to trade on the New York Stock Exchange, reports the Washington Post. Like them, the muppet is now the recipient of a Sackler Center First Award from the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art. She picked up the award this week from none other than Gloria Steinem: Steinem: "She is definitely her own self. She isn't trying to be either totally masculine or totally feminine, she's human." Elizabeth Sackler: "Miss Piggy embodies overtly all the characteristics that women need to have in order to really succeed," the founder of the awards tells MSNBC. "We're talking about tenacity, strength, intelligence, strategy, a sense of humor. ... She also believes that who you are is all you need to be and [to] really go for it."

Q: Who does the UMC seek guidance from?, Context: Wesleyan theology stands at a unique cross-roads between evangelical and sacramental, between liturgical and charismatic, and between Anglo-Catholic and Reformed theology and practice. It has been characterized as Arminian theology with an emphasis on the work of the Holy Spirit to bring holiness into the life of the participating believer. The United Methodist Church believes in prima scriptura, seeing the Holy Bible as the primary authority in the Church and using sacred tradition, reason, and experience to interpret it, with the aid of the Holy Spirit (see Wesleyan Quadrilateral). Therefore, according to The Book of Discipline, United Methodist theology is at once "catholic, evangelical, and reformed." Today, the UMC is generally considered one of the more moderate and tolerant denominations with respect to race, gender, and ideology, though the denomination itself actually includes a very wide spectrum of attitudes. Comparatively, the UMC stands to the right of liberal and progressive Protestant groups such as the United Church of Christ and the Episcopal Church on certain issues (especially regarding sexuality), but to the left of historically conservative evangelical traditions such as the Southern Baptists and Pentecostalism, in regard to theological matters such as social justice and Biblical interpretation. However, it should be noted that the UMC is made up of a broad diversity of thought, and so there are many clergy and laity within the UMC that hold differing viewpoints on such theological matters.
A: | the Holy Spirit |

[Q]: Tocqueville thought the conquest of Algeria was important for two reasons: first, his understanding of the international situation and France's position in the world, and, second, changes in French society. Tocqueville believed that war and colonization would "restore national pride, threatened", he believed, by "The gradual softening of social mores" in the middle classes. Their taste for "material pleasures" was spreading to the whole of society, giving it "an example of weakness and egotism". Applauding the methods of General Bugeaud, Tocqueville went so far to claim that "war in Africa is a science. Everyone is familiar with its rules and everyone can apply those rules with almost complete certainty of success. One of the greatest services that Field Marshal Bugeaud has rendered his country is to have spread, perfected and made everyone aware of this new science." Tocqueville advocated racial segregation in Algeria with two distinct legislations, one for European colonists and one for the Arab population. Such a two-tier arrangement would be fully realised with the 1870 Cremieux decree and the Indigenousness Code, which extended French citizenship to European settlers and Algerian Jews, whereas Muslim Algerians would be governed by Muslim law and restricted to a second-class citizenship. <sep>What did Tocqueville believe was spreading and which society was it spreading through?<sep>A deadly virus

[Q]: Military Notification and Response. Boston Center did not follow the protocol in seeking military assistance through the prescribed chain of command. In addition to notifications within the FAA, Boston Center took the initiative, at 8:34, to contact the military through the FAA's Cape Cod facility. The center also tried to contact a former alert site in Atlantic City, unaware it had been phased out. At 8:37:52, Boston Center reached NEADS. This was the first notification received by the military-at any level-that American 11 had been hijacked: FAA: Hi. Boston Center TMU [Traffic Management Unit], we have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York, and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out. NEADS: Is this real-world or exercise? FAA: No, this is not an exercise, not a test. NEADS ordered to battle stations the two F-15 alert aircraft at Otis Air Force Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts, 153 miles away from New York City. The air defense of America began with this call. At NEADS, the report of the hijacking was relayed immediately to Battle Commander Colonel Robert Marr. After ordering the Otis fighters to battle stations, Colonel Marr phoned Major General Larry Arnold, commanding general of the First Air Force and NORAD's Continental Region. Marr sought authorization to scramble the Otis fighters. General Arnold later recalled instructing Marr to "go ahead and scramble them, and we'll get authorities later." General Arnold then called NORAD headquarters to report. F-15 fighters were scrambled at 8:46 from Otis Air Force Base. <sep>How many military facilities did Boston Center try to contact?<sep>4

Input: Consider Input: While the Base Ball writers of the cities which comprise the Southern Association have no organized membership similar to the Base Ball Writers' Association of the major leagues and the organizations which are best known as the class AA leagues, they are a clever, hard-working group of young men, who have labored in season and out of season, not only to build up Base Ball but to build it up on the right lines. Experience of more than a quarter of a century has most abundantly proved that the standard of Base Ball has steadily been elevated. It needs no compilation of fact nor any dogmatic assertion on the part of the Editor of the GUIDE to attest that fact. It is a present condition which speaks for itself. The general tone of the players is far higher than it was and there has come into evidence a marked improvement in the spirit of the men who own Base Ball clubs. In the earlier history of the sport there was a tendency to win by any means that did not actually cross the line of dishonesty. Later there came a season when the commercial end of the game tended to encroach upon the limits of the pastime. This has been repressed in the last two seasons and to-day the morale of Base Ball is of a higher type than it ever has been in the history of the pastime. <sep>What characteristics of the pastime of baseball has been repressed?<sep>They are a clever and hard-working
Output: No
Input: Consider Input: 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>Who established relations with the Sui dynasty in China?<sep>The Sogas
Output: No
Input: Consider Input: We waited for half an hour, watching the smoke curling over the house, and then, judging that the Indians had made off for fear of being ambushed, we crossed the clearing. It took but a glance to read the story. The women had been washing by the little brook before the cabin, with the children playing about them, when the Indians had come up and with a single volley killed them all except the child we had heard crying. They had swooped down upon their victims, torn the scalps from their heads, looted the house, and set fire to it. We dragged out the body of the woman which had been thrown within, in the hope that a spark of life might yet remain, but she was quite dead. Beneath the warrior Spiltdorph had shot we found the child. It was a boy of some six or seven years, and so covered with blood that it seemed it must be dead. But we stripped it and washed it in the brook, and found no wounds upon it except in the head, where it had been struck with a hatchet before its scalp had been stripped off. The cold water brought it back to life and it began to cry again, whereat Spiltdorph took off his coat and wrapped it tenderly about it. <sep>Something was stripped and found with only wounds in the head. What was is?<sep>A boy of some six or seven years

Example Input: Tokugawa Takes All: When Hideyoshi died in 1598, he hoped to have his five-year-old son continue his "dynasty," initially under the tutelage of five regents. But one of the regents was Ieyasu Tokugawa, who had been biding his time at Edo for 12 years, nurturing dynastic ambitions of his own. Of the cunning, ruthless triumvirate that came out on top at the end of the country's century of civil war, Tokugawa was without doubt the most patient, the most prudent — and most treacherous. He moved quickly to eliminate his strongest rivals, crushing them in 1600 at the great Battle of Sekigahara (near modern Nagoya). During its subsequent two and a half centuries of rule from the new capital established at Edo, the Tokugawa organized a tightly controlled coalition of some 260 daimyo in strategic strongholds throughout the country. The allegiance of this highly privileged and prestigious group was ensured by cementing their ethical principles in the code of bushido, "The way of the warrior": loyalty to one's master, defense of one's status and honor, and fulfillment of all obligations. Loyalty was further enforced by holding the vassals' wives and children hostage in Edo. All roads into Edo, the most famous being the Tokaido Highway, had checkpoints for guns coming in and for wives going out. One of the most effective ways of keeping a tight rein on the country was to cut it off from the outside world, to keep Japan Japanese. At first, Ieyasu Tokugawa was eager to promote foreign trade. He wanted silk and encouraged the Dutch and British as good, nonproselytizing Protestants just interested in trade. But he didn't like the Portuguese and Spanish Catholic missionaries, who he felt were undermining traditional Japanese values. He banned their activities in 1612 and two years later ordered the expulsion of all missionaries and unrepentant Japanese converts. Executions and torture followed. Converts were forced to renounce their faith by trampling crucifixes and effigies of Jesus and Mary. The Catholic Church has counted 3,125 martyrs in Japan from 1597 (beginning under Hideyoshi) to 1660. In 1635 the Japanese were forbidden, on pain of death, to attempt to travel abroad, and Japanese citizens already overseas were prevented from returning, in case they brought back subversive Christian doctrines. Western books were banned, as were Chinese books that mentioned Christianity. <sep>What was one cruel way in which the Bushido Code was enforced?<sep>A vassal's wife and children were held hostage in Edo to force loyalty
Example Output: Yes
Example Input: Plants also detect the daily cycle of light and darkness. Do you know how plants respond to these changes? Some plants open their leaves during the day. It is during these hours the plant can collect sunlight. At night, the plant closes its leaves to prevent water loss. Many plants respond to the change in the length of the day. As days grow shorter, some plants respond by going dormant. Dormant is when a plant suspends its growth. It does this in order to survive. Shorter days signal the coming of winter. Winter in most areas means extreme cold. It is also very dry in the winter months. As winter approaches, some plants respond by their leaves changing color. After the change in color, they fall off. This dormancy period helps trees. It allows them to survive the cold and dry winter. Plants only want to grow when conditions are right. <sep>Do some plants' leaves fall off in the winter months?<sep>No, they fall off in the autumn only
Example Output: No
Example Input: (CNN) -- Gabriel García Márquez, widely regarded as one of the most important contemporary Latin American authors, was admitted to a hospital in Mexico earlier this week, according to the Ministry of Health. The Nobel Prize recipient, known as "Gabo," had infections in his lungs and his urinary tract. He was suffering from dehydration, the ministry said. García Márquez, 87, is responding well to antibiotics, but his release date is still to be determined. "I wish him a speedy recovery." Mexican President Enrique Peña wrote on Twitter. García Márquez was born in the northern Colombian town of Aracataca, the inspiration for the fictional town of Macondo, the setting of the 1967 novel "One Hundred Years of Solitude." He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1982 "for his novels and short stories, in which the fantastic and the realistic are combined in a richly composed world of imagination, reflecting a continent's life and conflicts," according to the Nobel Prize website. García Márquez has spent many years in Mexico and has a huge following there. Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said his country is thinking of the author. "All of Colombia wishes a speedy recovery to the greatest of all time: Gabriel García Márquez," he tweeted. CNN en Español's Fidel Gutierrez contributed to this story. <sep>Why was Gabriel García Márquez hospitalized?<sep>He had infections in his lungs and his urinary tract, and he was suffering from dehydration

Teacher:You will be given a passage, and your task is to generate a Yes/No question that is answerable based on the given passage.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Open carry is also legal throughout North Carolina. In the town of Chapel Hill, open carry is restricted to guns of a certain minimum size, under the theory that small, concealable handguns are more often associated with criminal activity. No permit is required to carry a handgun openly in North Carolina. In the court case of State v. Kerner(1921) the defendant ended up getting into some type of confrontation with another man. The defendant proceeded to walk back to his place of work, get his gun, and then return to the scene to fight. The defendant ended up being charged with ``carrying a concealed weapon'' and ``carrying his pistol off his premises unconcealed,'' which violated a local act applicable to Forsyth County and ended up being a misdemeanor. The defendant was taken to trial and the trial judge then dismissed the charge as unconstitutional. The state then appealed, and the supreme court affirmed. During court, the court stated at the beginning that the Second Amendment did not apply, because ``the first ten amendments to the United States Constitution are restrictions on the federal authority and not the states.'' Therefore, with that being said, it focused more on the state constitution. The state constitution states that: ``A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.'' The court viewed the provision as protecting the right to carry arms in public. Forsyth County's local act was condemned and seen as distasteful, because it ended up putting a restriction on a persons right to carry a pistol, more so an unconcealed pistol. Although, the case of State v. Kerner helped/made more clear the allowance of openly carrying a pistol, it does not preclude all regulations regarding the carrying of firearms.

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>Where was the largest single capital investment IBM made have been built?<sep>Westchester

Question: Despite meeting some of the requirements such as being surrounded by a body of water, Australia is commonly cited to be too large to be called a what?, Context: Non-Australian citizens who are Australian permanent residents should be aware that during their stay on Norfolk Island they are "outside of Australia" for the purposes of the Migration Act. This means that not only will they need a still-valid migrant visa or Resident return visa to return from Norfolk Island to the mainland, but also the time spent in Norfolk Island will not be counted for satisfying the residence requirement for obtaining a Resident return visa in the future. On the other hand, as far as Australian nationality law is concerned, Norfolk Island is a part of Australia, and any time spent by an Australian permanent resident on Norfolk Island will count as time spent in Australia for the purpose of applying for Australian citizenship.
Answer: Island
Question: What students is City of Bath School limited to?, Context: Some of the county's secondary schools have specialist school status. Some schools have sixth forms and others transfer their sixth formers to colleges. Several schools can trace their origins back many years, such as The Blue School in Wells and Richard Huish College in Taunton. Others have changed their names over the years such as Beechen Cliff School which was started in 1905 as the City of Bath Boys' School and changed to its present name in 1972 when the grammar school was amalgamated with a local secondary modern school, to form a comprehensive school. Many others were established and built since the Second World War. In 2006, 5,900 pupils in Somerset sat GCSE examinations, with 44.5% achieving 5 grades A-C including English and Maths (compared to 45.8% for England).
Answer: Boys
Question: In terms of gender, how can professional wrestling in Japan be described?, Context: In Japan, professional wrestling done by female wrestlers is called joshi puroresu (女子プロレス) or joshi puro for short. Female wrestling is usually handled by promotions that specialize in joshi puroresu rather than divisions of otherwise male-dominated promotions, as is the case in the United States. However, joshi puroresu promotions usually have agreements with male puroresu promotions such that they recognize each other's titles as legitimate, and may share cards. All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling was the dominant joshi organization from the 1970s to the 1990s.
Answer: | male-dominated

Explanation: Based on the passage Timothy plays with his friends Mandy and Andrew. So, the given answer is incorrect and the output should be "No".
Now, solve this: Neighborhood Legal Services, which provides free legal services to the poor, has expanded into the San Gabriel and Pomona valleys, areas with large Asian populations, many of whom speak limited or no English. Language is their biggest obstacle, but the Asian communities' cultural isolation and service providers' lack of cultural expertise also play a part, said NLS executive director Neal Dubovitz. And with 13 percent to 15 percent of the Asian population in the U.S. living below the poverty line, NLS services are badly needed, Dubovitz said. "Although it is a significant part of the poverty population, Asians historically have not been able to participate in the services and programs available to the poor," he said. From simple telephone advice to complete legal representation in court, the agency provides free consumer, health, family, immigration, housing, public benefits and labor legal services to people who earn under $1,380 per month. Legal service providers have long served large Latino populations, who have cultural diversity but share a common language. "I remember the days when there were only a handful of people in the legal offices who spoke Spanish," Dudovitz said. "Now Spanish and English are interchangeable. Our goal is to have that for the major Asian languages as well." Before the expansion, only a few NLS lawyers spoke Asian languages, said attorney Rebecca Yee, who was hired by NLS in April 2002 to design and head the project. "Now we have people speaking Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, Khmer (from Cambodia), Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Tagalog," Yee said. One of the 13 attorneys hired to work with the program is Irene Mak, a family law attorney who speaks Cantonese, Mandarin and Thai. Mak was a partner at a private law firm before she went to work for NLS two years ago, earning up to $20,000 less a year working on domestic violence cases. "The job is more satisfying than the money," said Mak, who grew up in Hong Kong and Thailand before coming to the United States. "I could use my language skills and wanted to give back to the Asian community." NLS expanded when Legal Services Corp., the federal agency that funds providers of free legal services nationwide, reduced the number of grantees in the Los Angeles area from five to three, Dudovitz said. NLS won the competitive grant over the Legal Services Program for Pasadena, San Gabriel-Pomona valleys. That boosted its client base from 16,000 to around 25,000, and NLS opened an office in El Monte. <sep>Can you name two attorneys mentioned?<sep>Rebecca Irene

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

Take a look at this train in Figure 1.11. It looks very futuristic. What do you notice about it? Did you notice that the train has no wheels? How can a train have no wheels? It doesn't need wheels. It actually floats, or levitates, just above the track. Magnets enable the train to do this. This is not a normal train. This is a maglev train. The word maglev stands for magnetic levitation. Because it has no wheels, there is no friction. Some magnets hold the train up. Other magnets are used to move the train forward. This train can go very fast. It can reach speeds up to 480 kilometers (300 miles) per hour! Magnets are pretty cool. What exactly is a magnet? How is it able to exert such force? <sep>What looks different about this futuristic train?<sep>The train flies

Who practices SODIS?, Context: Solar water disinfection (SODIS) involves exposing water-filled plastic polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles to sunlight for several hours. Exposure times vary depending on weather and climate from a minimum of six hours to two days during fully overcast conditions. It is recommended by the World Health Organization as a viable method for household water treatment and safe storage. Over two million people in developing countries use this method for their daily drinking water.
Ex Output:
Over two million people
Ex Input:
what field of study is mentioned second to last?, Context: Muslim physicians contributed to the field of medicine, including the subjects of anatomy and physiology: such as in the 15th century Persian work by Mansur ibn Muhammad ibn al-Faqih Ilyas entitled Tashrih al-badan (Anatomy of the body) which contained comprehensive diagrams of the body's structural, nervous and circulatory systems; or in the work of the Egyptian physician Ibn al-Nafis, who proposed the theory of pulmonary circulation. Avicenna's The Canon of Medicine remained an authoritative medical textbook in Europe until the 18th century. Abu al-Qasim al-Zahrawi (also known as Abulcasis) contributed to the discipline of medical surgery with his Kitab al-Tasrif ("Book of Concessions"), a medical encyclopedia which was later translated to Latin and used in European and Muslim medical schools for centuries. Other medical advancements came in the fields of pharmacology and pharmacy.
Ex Output:
pharmacology
Ex Input:
What separates languages in Belgium and the Netherlands?, Context: In the Southern Netherlands (now Belgium and Luxembourg) developments were different. Under Spanish, then Austrian, and then French rule standardisation of Dutch language came to a standstill. The state, law, and increasingly education used French, yet more than half the Belgian population were speaking a Dutch dialect. In the course of the nineteenth century the Flemish movement stood up for the rights of Dutch, mostly called Flemish. But in competing with the French language the variation in dialects was a serious disadvantage. Since standardisation is a lengthy process, Dutch-speaking Belgium associated itself with the standard language that had already developed in the Netherlands over the centuries. Therefore, the situation in Belgium is essentially no different from that in the Netherlands, although there are recognisable differences in pronunciation, comparable to the pronunciation differences between standard British and standard American English. In 1980 the Netherlands and Belgium concluded the Language Union Treaty. This treaty lays down the principle that the two countries must gear their language policy to each other, among other things, for a common system of spelling.
Ex Output:
| recognisable differences in pronunciation

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Example Input: l replaced?, Context: Many of the non-alphanumeric characters were positioned to correspond to their shifted position on typewriters; an important subtlety is that these were based on mechanical typewriters, not electric typewriters. Mechanical typewriters followed the standard set by the Remington No. 2 (1878), the first typewriter with a shift key, and the shifted values of 23456789- were "#$%_&'() – early typewriters omitted 0 and 1, using O (capital letter o) and l (lowercase letter L) instead, but 1! and 0) pairs became standard once 0 and 1 became common. Thus, in ASCII !"#$% were placed in second column, rows 1–5, corresponding to the digits 1–5 in the adjacent column. The parentheses could not correspond to 9 and 0, however, because the place corresponding to 0 was taken by the space character. This was accommodated by removing _ (underscore) from 6 and shifting the remaining characters left, which corresponded to many European typewriters that placed the parentheses with 8 and 9. This discrepancy from typewriters led to bit-paired keyboards, notably the Teletype Model 33, which used the left-shifted layout corresponding to ASCII, not to traditional mechanical typewriters. Electric typewriters, notably the more recently introduced IBM Selectric (1961), used a somewhat different layout that has become standard on computers—following the IBM PC (1981), especially Model M (1984)—and thus shift values for symbols on modern keyboards do not correspond as closely to the ASCII table as earlier keyboards did. The /? pair also dates to the No. 2, and the ,< .> pairs were used on some keyboards (others, including the No. 2, did not shift , (comma) or . (full stop) so they could be used in uppercase without unshifting). However, ASCII split the ;: pair (dating to No. 2), and rearranged mathematical symbols (varied conventions, commonly -* =+) to :* ;+ -=.
Example Output: 1
Example Input: Which acronym is the shortest among ANSI, IESNA and ASHRAE?, Context: The Illuminating Engineering Society of North America (IESNA), in conjunction with organizations like ANSI and ASHRAE, publishes guidelines, standards, and handbooks that allow categorization of the illumination needs of different built environments. Manufacturers of lighting equipment publish photometric data for their products, which defines the distribution of light released by a specific luminaire. This data is typically expressed in standardized form defined by the IESNA.
Example Output: ANSI
Example Input: How was access gained to Alaska, Context: The specifics of Paleo-Indian migration to and throughout the Americas, including the exact dates and routes traveled, provide the subject of ongoing research and discussion. According to archaeological and genetic evidence, North and South America were the last continents in the world with human habitation. During the Wisconsin glaciation, 50–17,000 years ago, falling sea levels allowed people to move across the land bridge of Beringia that joined Siberia to north west North America (Alaska). Alaska was a glacial refugia because it had low snowfall, allowing a small population to exist. The Laurentide Ice Sheet covered most of North America, blocking nomadic inhabitants and confining them to Alaska (East Beringia) for thousands of years.
Example Output: | the land bridge

PROBLEM: Fossils can be used to match up rock layers. As organisms change over time, they look different. Older fossils will look different than younger fossils. Some organisms only survived for a short time before going extinct. Knowing what organisms looked like at certain times also helps date rock layers. Some fossils are better than others for this use. The fossils that are very distinct at certain times of Earths history are called index fossils. Index fossils are commonly used to match rock layers. You can see how this works in Figure 2.30. If two rock layers have the same index fossils, then they're probably about the same age. <sep>How are fossils used to match up rock layers?<sep>They match the mineral deposits
SOLUTION: No
PROBLEM: General relativity includes a dynamical spacetime, so it is difficult to see how to identify the conserved energy and momentum. Noether's theorem allows these quantities to be determined from a Lagrangian with translation invariance, but general covariance makes translation invariance into something of a gauge symmetry. The energy and momentum derived within general relativity by Noether's presecriptions do not make a real tensor for this reason. Einstein argued that this is true for fundamental reasons, because the gravitational field could be made to vanish by a choice of coordinates. He maintained that the non-covariant energy momentum pseudotensor was in fact the best description of the energy momentum distribution in a gravitational field. This approach has been echoed by Lev Landau and Evgeny Lifshitz, and others, and has become standard. The use of non-covariant objects like pseudotensors was heavily criticized in 1917 by Erwin Schrodinger and others. <sep>When did the standard approach to energy momentum become criticized?<sep>1911

[EX Q]: (CNN) -- Deposed Honduran President Jose Manuel Zelaya will not be reinstated as head of state, an overwhelming majority of the Honduran congress voted Wednesday. In an hours-long process, 111 lawmakers voted in favor of a motion not to return Zelaya to office. A majority of 65 votes in the 128-member body was required to reject his reinstatement. Zelaya was removed from office in a military-led coup on June 28 and replaced by congressional leader Roberto Micheletti. On Wednesday, lawmakers voted one by one and addressed the chamber as they cast their vote, making for a slow process. The vote was a key part of a U.S.-brokered pact that representatives for Zelaya and Micheletti signed October 29, giving Congress the power to decide Zelaya's fate. The United States expressed disappointment Thursday over the latest rebuff to its diplomatic efforts to end the political crisis in Honduras. U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for Western Hemisphere Affairs Arturo Valenzuela continued to call on the Honduran government to allow Zelaya's return and to create a unity government in the interim period before the new president takes office next month. "We are disappointed by this decision since the United States had hoped the [Honduran] Congress would have approved his return," Valenzuela said in a conference call with journalists in Washington. "Our policy since June 28 has been consistently principled. It has condemned the coup d'etat and continued to accept President Zelaya as the democratically elected and legitimate leader of Honduras throughout this political crisis." The United States continues to call for Honduras to engage in national reconciliation and creation of a truth commission to investigate the crisis, in addition to the unity government. "The absence of democratic, constitutional order is the unacceptable status quo," a senior U.S. administration official said on the conference call, remaining anonymous under the ground rules of the call and because of the sensitivity of the situation. "The election is a step toward a day where Honduras will have an electorally legitimate government in place." <sep>Out of the 128-member body, how many lawmakers voted not to return Zelaya to office?<sep>65

[EX Q]: Washington The Iraqi government has agreed to let U.S. Rep. Tony Hall visit the country next week to assess a humanitarian crisis that has festered since the Gulf War of 1990, Hall's office said Monday. The Dayton Democrat, who has traveled to other crisis points including Sierra Leone and North Korea, will spend three days visiting hospitals and other facilities to seek understanding why aid has been ineffective in stemming malnourishment and other medical problems. Iraq has been under economic sanctions since the war ended, which some say have thwarted the country's ability to recover from the devastation of the bombing campaign. The Persian Gulf War destroyed much of the country's medical infrastructure, according to a report by the World Health Organization. In 1996 the WHO found that much of the population existed in a state of ``semi-starvation.'' Hall will be only the second member of Congress to travel in Iraq since the war, according to Hall's office. The last visitor was then-U.S. Rep. Bill Richardson of New Mexico, who went to help a pair of U.S. oilmen in diplomatic trouble. Hall flies to Amman, Jordan, on Friday, where he'll spend the night before driving to Iraq. Flights are not permitted into Iraq. Hall is to return to Washington on April 22. Story Filed By Cox Newspapers <sep>Why is U.S. Rep.

For others, he offers simplistic conspiracies to explain their world. Bin Laden also relies heavily on the Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb. A member of the Muslim Brotherhood executed in 1966 on charges of attempting to overthrow the government, Qutb mixed Islamic scholarship with a very superficial acquaintance with Western history and thought. Sent by the Egyptian government to study in the United States in the late 1940s, Qutb returned with an enormous loathing of Western society and history. He dismissed Western achievements as entirely material, arguing that Western society possesses "nothing that will satisfy its own conscience and justify its existence." Three basic themes emerge from Qutb's writings. First, he claimed that the world was beset with barbarism, licentiousness, and unbelief (a condition he called jahiliyya, the religious term for the period of ignorance prior to the revelations given to the Prophet Mohammed). Qutb argued that humans can choose only between Islam and jahiliyya. Second, he warned that more people, including Muslims, were attracted to jahiliyya and its material comforts than to his view of Islam; jahiliyya could therefore triumph over Islam. Third, no middle ground exists in what Qutb conceived as a struggle between God and Satan. All Muslims-as he defined them-therefore must take up arms in this fight. Any Muslim who rejects his ideas is just one more nonbeliever worthy of destruction. Bin Laden shares Qutb's stark view, permitting him and his followers to rationalize even unprovoked mass murder as righteous defense of an embattled faith. Many Americans have wondered, "Why do 'they' hate us?" Some also ask, "What can we do to stop these attacks?" Bin Laden and al Qaeda have given answers to both these questions. <sep>What are the basic themes of Qutb's writings?<sep>Humans have to choose one among Islam and unbelief

Q: Foedus is in the etymology of?, Context: The terms 'federalism' and 'confederalism' both have a root in the Latin word foedus, meaning treaty, pact or covenant. Their common meaning until the late eighteenth century was a simple league or inter-governmental relationship among sovereign states based upon a treaty. They were therefore initially synonyms. It was in this sense that James Madison in Federalist 39 had referred to the new United States as 'neither a national nor a federal Constitution, but a composition of both' (ie. neither a single large unitary state nor a league/confederation among several small states, but a hybrid of the two). In the course of the nineteenth century the meaning of federalism would come to shift, strengthening to refer uniquely to the novel compound political form, while the meaning of confederalism would remain at a league of states. Thus, this article relates to the modern usage of the word 'federalism'.

How to fill up pita with falafel
Make a pocket.
This is important because the bread will hold the contents that you're about to add, preventing them from falling out when the pita is eaten.
Check the bread for positioning.
OPTIONS:
- Pita bread should fit perfectly into the pocket. If it does not, you may have to preposition it or cut more slots to prevent it from falling out.
- Pita bread has a bottom and top; the bottom is generally thinner and often has wrinkles or cracks in it. Create the pocket in the pita.
- How should you align it? If you're working with dry bread, it's best to fit it on a plate that stands in the middle of the container. If you're working with wet and cold bread, it's best to position it so that it's closer to the surface.
- When filling the pocket, remember to check the measurement this will require. Open your pocket by sliding your hand in and pulling it out to create a small pocket (you may need an extra coin or two to complete the process).

Question: How was Nintendo Entertainment System software distributed?, Context: To differentiate Nintendo's new home platform from the early 1980s' common perception of a troubled and shallow video game market, the company freshened its product nomenclature and positioning, and it established a strict product approval and licensing policy. The overall system was referred to as an "Entertainment System" instead of a "video game system", which was centered upon a machine called a "Control Deck" instead of a "console", and which featured software cartridges called "Game Paks" instead of "video games". The 10NES lockout chip system acted as a lock-and-key coupling of each Game Pak and Control Deck, deterring the copying or production of NES games which had not first achieved Nintendo's licensed approval. The packaging of the launch lineup of NES games bore pictures of a very close representation of the actual onscreen graphics of the game, which were of sufficiently recognizable quality on their own. Symbols on the launch games' packaging clearly indicated the genre of the game, in order to reduce consumer confusion. A 'seal of quality' was printed on all appropriately licensed game and accessory packaging. The initial seal stated, "This seal is your assurance that Nintendo has approved and guaranteed the quality of this product". This text was later changed to "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality".
Answer: software cartridges
Question: Where was Jesus placed in terms of the three crosses?, Context: According to the canonical gospels, Jesus, whom Christians believe to be the Son of God as well as the Messiah (Christ), was arrested, tried, and sentenced by Pontius Pilate to be scourged, and finally crucified by the Romans. Jesus was stripped of his clothing and offered wine mixed with gall to drink, before being crucified. He was then hung for six hours (according to Mark's Gospel) between two convicted thieves. During this time, the soldiers affixed a sign to the top of the cross stating "Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews" in three languages. They then divided his garments among them, but cast lots for his seamless robe. After Jesus' death they pierced his side with a spear to be certain that he had died. The Bible records seven statements that Jesus made while he was on the cross, as well as several supernatural events that occurred.
Answer: between two convicted thieves
Question: Which of the following is not a characteristic of a championship: lineage, caliber of performers, or perception?, Context: Behind the scenes, the bookers in a company will place the title on the most accomplished performer, or those the bookers believe will generate fan interest in terms of event attendance and television viewership. Lower ranked titles may also be used on the performers who show potential, thus allowing them greater exposure to the audience. However other circumstances may also determine the use of a championship. A combination of a championship's lineage, the caliber of performers as champion, and the frequency and manner of title changes, dictates the audience's perception of the title's quality, significance and reputation.
Answer: | perception

How to move furniture to another state
Get some quotes from movers.
Don't assume that hiring movers will be more expensive than moving furniture yourself. If you're making a long move to another state, having movers take care of your furniture can save you time and aggravation.
OPTIONS:
- You should ask several moving companies for a quote before settling one one. Cross country movers usually charge by the pound or load rather than the hour.
- Ask if you can pay for other expenses while you move. Don't settle for less if you really need cash.
- Keep in mind that the more you rent or lease the place the better it will cost you. Investigate potential landlords' bid terms before booking a move.
- You can also apply for a slightly higher fee based on the circumstances in which you live. If you intend to move live-in furniture, you can usually find a used piece at a major department store.

How to attract an older boy
Ask yourself why you want an older boyfriend.
There are many reasons why you might want a relationship with a boy that's older than you. Most of the time, we see older people as more sophisticated and mature.
OPTIONS:
- The important thing is, you want a younger man with more complex feelings. People with complex emotions and personalities tend to have a much better time with a younger man.
- This is most often the case, but not always. Some older boys will be just as immature as they ever were.
- But you might also see older boys as something a little more intellectual and an extension of someone who's older. Ask yourself if you want a boyfriend who works hard and emphasizes effort.
- However, we will be more aware of our age for various reasons. Adults, on the other hand, are generally considered older.
This is most often the case, but not always. Some older boys will be just as immature as they ever were.
How to diagnose refrigerator problems
Check that the power cord is plugged in all the way.
Pull out the refrigerator if needed and press the plug firmly into the outlet. Check your appliance's electrical cord for damage.
OPTIONS:
- If there is any damage on the cord, you should take immediate action. Older appliances might not connect to the refrigerator using power cords, and others might overheat easily.
- If you are stuck, don't force the plug into the outlet. Simply remove the plug and replace the power cord.
- Detach the dryer wire from the top of the dryer. A utility wire should have arrived with your dryer earlier than a regular wire.
- Any exposed wire, kinks or cuts in the cord might make the appliance malfunction. If this is the case, do not use the cord and contact a repairman.

Before you start explaining seo to your client, consider how much your client knows about the internet. This will help you determine what tactic you should use when explaining seo.
OPTIONS:
- Pay attention to the website url: you want to make sure your client can find the site with which you are referring. Also try to note the name of the website, which will help your client understand how to adjust the website when traveling.
- You can find out some of your client's resources, so you can provide an overview of their profession. Ask " what more software is needed to work within seo? " the answers can be more painful when some misconceptions are reached.
- The last thing you'd want is to confuse your client by using unfamiliar terms, or insult your client by using too simple explanations. For example : If your client is unfamiliar with the internet, including websites, search engines, blogs, links, and so forth, consider using more analogies and comparisons.
- Many web developers only use word activated publications, while other developers use real words. You should consider all marketing, but you can only use it with customers.

[Q]: In ``The Wars to Come'', Stannis enlists Jon as an intermediary between himself and Mance, hoping to add the wildling army to his own. Mance refuses to submit to Stannis, and the wildling king is burned at the stake by the red priestess Melisandre. In ``The House of Black and White'', Stannis offers to legitimize Jon and make him lord of Winterfell in exchange for his support. Jon is voted the new Lord Commander of the Night's Watch, initially tying with his nemesis Thorne but having the tie settled by Maester Aemon. Jon's intent to welcome the wildlings into Westeros and grant them lands by the Wall further enrages Thorne's faction of the Watch, who hold a deep seated hatred for the wildlings. In ``Hardhome'', Jon travels by ship north of the Wall to the eponymous wildling village, seeking their support for his plan to ally the Night's Watch and the wildlings against the growing threat of the White Walkers. As some of the wildling clans board Stannis' ships to travel south, a massive force of wights, led by White Walkers and their Night King, attacks the village. Jon kills a White Walker with Longclaw, learning that weapons forged with Valyrian steel can destroy them completely. Jon and his group barely make it out alive, with only a fraction of the wildling forces. Jon then permits the wildling forces to pass through the Wall into the North. Shortly after returning to Castle Black in the season finale ``Mother's Mercy'', Jon is summoned to hear news of his missing uncle Benjen, but is instead stabbed to death by Thorne and his group of mutineers.

At 9:48, a representative from the White House shelter asked if there were any indications of another hijacked aircraft. The deputy director for operations mentioned the Delta flight and concluded that "that would be the fourth possible hijack." At 9:49, the commander of NORAD directed all air sovereignty aircraft to battle stations, fully armed. At 9:59, an Air Force lieutenant colonel working in the White House Military Office joined the conference and stated he had just talked to Deputy National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley. The White House requested (1) the implementation of continuity of government measures, (2) fighter escorts for Air Force One, and (3) a fighter combat air patrol over Washington, D.C. By 10:03, when United 93 crashed in Pennsylvania, there had been no mention of its hijacking and the FAA had not yet been added to the teleconference. The President and the Vice President The President was seated in a classroom when, at 9:05, Andrew Card whispered to him: "A second plane hit the second tower. America is under attack." The President told us his instinct was to project calm, not to have the country see an excited reaction at a moment of crisis. The press was standing behind the children; he saw their phones and pagers start to ring. The President felt he should project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening. The President remained in the classroom for another five to seven minutes, while the children continued reading. He then returned to a holding room shortly before 9:15, where he was briefed by staff and saw television coverage. He next spoke to Vice President Cheney, Dr. Rice, New York Governor George Pataki, and FBI Director Robert Mueller. He decided to make a brief statement from the school before leaving for the airport. The Secret Service told us they were anxious to move the President to a safer location, but did not think it imperative for him to run out the door. Between 9:15 and 9:30, the staff was busy arranging a return to Washington, while the President consulted his senior advisers about his remarks. No one in the traveling party had any information during this time that other aircraft were hijacked or missing.

Q: Cabinet Room
10:07 A.M. EDT
THE PRESIDENT: Good morning. This is our first Cabinet meeting with General Kelly. He will be Chief of Staff, as you know. We all know him, we respect him, admire what he’s done. And at Homeland, what he has done has been nothing short of miraculous. As you know, the border was a tremendous problem and they’re close to 80 percent stoppage. And even the President of Mexico called me -- they said their southern border, very few people are coming because they know they’re not going to get through our border, which is the ultimate compliment.
So I just want to congratulate him on the great job he’s done with Homeland Security, and I have no doubt that he will be an absolutely superb Chief of Staff.
We were discussing a little while ago, before the meeting, how well we’re doing, however. We have the highest stock market in history. We have a GDP, on Friday -- it got very little mention, although I guess in the business areas it did. But it got, I think, very little mention. 2.6 is a number that nobody thought they’d see for a long period of time. Remember, I was saying we will hit three at some point in the not-too-distant future, and everybody smiled and they laughed and they thought we’d be at one. And 2.6 is an unbelievable number, announced on Friday.
Unemployment is the lowest it's been in 17 years. Business enthusiasm is about as high as they’ve ever seen it. In fact, it is as high -- the highest point in 28 years according to a certain graph and a certain chart. The manufacturers are -- the enthusiasm level is incredible. We have a lot of tremendous things going. We have some interesting situations that we’ll handle: North Korea, Middle East, lots of problems that we inherited from previous administrations. But we’ll take care of them. We’ll take care of them very well.
But, overall, I think we’re doing incredibly well. The economy is doing incredibly well, and many other things. So we’re starting from a really good base. I predict that General Kelly will go down, in terms of the position of Chief of Staff, one of the great ever. And we’re going to have a good time, but, much more importantly, we’re going to work hard and we’re going to make America great again.
It’s all about making America great again. That’s what we’re going to do. That’s what I said. That’s how we won this big election. And that’s what we’re in the process of doing and continuing.
And, General, it’s really great to have you on board, and thank you very much. Thank you. Thank you.
Thank you very much, everybody.
Q Mr. President, what can you do about North Korea?
THE PRESIDENT: We’ll handle North Korea. We’re going to be able to handle them. It will be handled. We handle everything. Thank you very much.

10:10 A.M. EDT ||||| Chinese state media delivered a rare rebuke aimed directly at US President Donald Trump, criticising him for avoiding responsibility for escalating tensions over North Korea’s nuclear weapons programme and warning the US not to “stab China in the back”.
The state-run news agency Xinhua ran a near 1,200-word commentary on Monday evening saying Trump has picked the wrong target in China to vent his frustration over the Korean nuclear crisis.
It also said the US should heed the message North Korea was sending through its latest launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile on Friday.
North Korea has unlikely mastered ICBM re-entry technology
“On one hand it is saying it will not withdraw from the path of strengthening its nuclear [capabilities] , on the other it is sending a strong signal that it wants to talk to the US,” the article said.
The signed Xinhua commentary restated China’s efforts to pursue denuclearisation on the Korean peninsula, adding that Trump’s “hard-hitting” approach could lead to the outbreak of war with “unthinkable consequences”.
China says it’s not to blame for crisis in North Korea, as US piles on the pressure
The piece followed Trump’s statements on Twitter this weekend accusing China of doing “nothing” about North Korea, after a short-lived honeymoon period with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping following their April summit in Florida.
“I am very disappointed in China,” Trump tweeted on Saturday. “Our foolish past leaders have allowed them to make hundreds of billions of dollars a year in trade, yet they do nothing for us with North Korea, just talk. We will no longer allow this to continue. China could easily solve the problem.”
It was not the first time Trump has voiced his displeasure with China over what he described as a lack of effort on its part to “solve” North Korean aggression. He also told reporters on Monday that the US would now “handle everything” on the issue.
China’s ambassador to the United Nations, Liu Jieyi , said on Monday the US and North Korea hold the primary responsibility to reduce tensions and resume talks over denuclearisation.
The Xinhua commentary called for the US and South Korea to suspend joint military exercises in order to begin diplomatic dialogue. South Korea and the US are scheduled for more joint drills this month.
Trump ‘rips China on Twitter’ after North Korea missile launch
“What the Korean peninsula needs is an immediate retreat, do not add wood, and definitely do not add fuel, to the fire ... it can turn into regional conflict or even war within a short time,” the commentary said.
The piece also criticised the US for sending a pair of B-1B bombers to fly over the Korean peninsula two days after North Korea’s successful missile test on Friday.
US says ‘no point’ in UN meeting on North Korea after latest missile test
The Xinhua commentary argued China has put in obvious and unquestionable efforts over the years to push for a solution to the North Korea nuclear issue and that the country did not have a magic wand to solve the problem.
It also pointed to China’s stake in the security of the peninsula, given that China and North Korea are linked by common mountains and rivers.
China remains North Korea’s most important ally and trading partner, despite strains in their relationship in recent years. The two also signed a mutual defence treaty in 1961.
Xinhua’s commentary noted that “some people lack a complete understanding of the Korean peninsula issue” in an indirect reference to Trump, but also directly blasted Trump’s choice to use Twitter as a platform for diplomacy.
‘We can strike all of US’: North Korea underlines missile threat
“Trump is a character and enjoys tweeting, but an emotional response cannot be the guiding policy to solve the Korean peninsula’s nuclearisation issue,” the commentary said. “In order to solve the nuclear issue on the peninsula, related parties need to use practical action and show sincerity, stop shirking responsibility, and especially should not stab China in the back.” ||||| Tweet with a location

A: | President Trump's tweets have raised an eyebrow or several, but one country is officially rolling its eyes. The New York Times notes that China has long bitten its tongue whenever Trump has blasted its policies and actions. But a pair of Trump tweets over the weekend, in which he noted he was "disappointed" with China in how it's done "NOTHING" about the North Korea's nuclear program, appears to have been the last straw. "Trump is quite a personality, and he likes to tweet," was the retort Monday in a 1,000-word editorial put out by Xinhua, China's official state news agency. "But emotional venting cannot become a guiding policy for solving the nuclear issue on the peninsula." The editorial went on to say Trump's "outrage" is directed toward the "wrong target," and that the US shouldn't "stab China in the back." By Trump taking to Twitter instead of taking responsibility for North Korea itself, he's simply "adding kindling or, even worse, pouring oil on the flames." The Times notes this latest conflagration could weaken what was a friendly start to Trump's relationship with Chinese President Xi Jinping. China's ambassador to the UN said Monday that "no matter how capable China is, China's efforts will not yield practical results because it depends on the two principal parties"—underscoring China's belief that the US and ally South Korea should perhaps pull back on military exercises on and near the Korean Peninsula to get North Korea to play ball. The South China Morning Post notes Trump appeared to accept more responsibility on Monday. "We'll handle North Korea," the president said during a Cabinet meeting. "We're going to be able to handle them. It will be handled. We handle everything." |

question:
Americans born in the country south of the United States are call what kind of Americans?, Context: According to a study by Dr. Paul Brest, Hispanics or "Latinos" include immigrants who are descendants of immigrants from the countries comprising Central and South America. In 1991, Mexican Americans, Puerto Ricans, and Cuban Americans made up 80% of the Latino population in the United States. Latinos are disadvantaged compared to White Americans and are more likely to live in poverty. They are the least well educated major ethnic group and suffered a 3% drop in high school completion rate while African Americans experienced a 12% increase between 1975-1990. In 1990, they constituted 9% of the population, but only received 3.1% of the bachelors's degrees awarded. At times when it is favorable to lawmakers, Latinos were considered "white" by the Jim Crow laws during the Reconstruction. In other cases, according to Paul Brest, Latinos have been classified as an inferior race and a threat to white purity. Latinos have encountered considerable discrimination in areas such as employment, housing, and education. Brest finds that stereotypes continue to be largely negative and many perceive Latinos as "lazy, unproductive, and on the dole." Furthermore, native-born Latino-Americans and recent immigrants are seen as identical since outsiders tend not to differentiate between Latino groups.
answer:
Mexican
question:
The expansion of what further cemented Houston's emergence as a powerhouse commercial city?, Context: By 1860, Houston had emerged as a commercial and railroad hub for the export of cotton. Railroad spurs from the Texas inland converged in Houston, where they met rail lines to the ports of Galveston and Beaumont. During the American Civil War, Houston served as a headquarters for General John Bankhead Magruder, who used the city as an organization point for the Battle of Galveston. After the Civil War, Houston businessmen initiated efforts to widen the city's extensive system of bayous so the city could accept more commerce between downtown and the nearby port of Galveston. By 1890, Houston was the railroad center of Texas.
answer:
bayous
question:
Why did universities begin participating less in scientific research?, Context: Scientific academies and societies grew out of the Scientific Revolution as the creators of scientific knowledge in contrast to the scholasticism of the university. During the Enlightenment, some societies created or retained links to universities. However, contemporary sources distinguished universities from scientific societies by claiming that the university's utility was in the transmission of knowledge, while societies functioned to create knowledge. As the role of universities in institutionalized science began to diminish, learned societies became the cornerstone of organized science. Official scientific societies were chartered by the state in order to provide technical expertise. Most societies were granted permission to oversee their own publications, control the election of new members, and the administration of the society. After 1700, a tremendous number of official academies and societies were founded in Europe, and by 1789 there were over seventy official scientific societies. In reference to this growth, Bernard de Fontenelle coined the term "the Age of Academies" to describe the 18th century.

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

Question: (OPRAH.com) -- Chris Rock is an Emmy-winning comedian, devoted husband and loving father --but it's time to get to know a new side of this funnyman. Meet Chris Rock, hair expert. It's a detour he took after an innocent carpool ride left Rock with an idea he just couldn't shake. "I was with my daughter one day, and we're in the car and she's with one of her friends in the back seat, a little white friend," he says. "She was just kind of raving about her friend's hair a little too much for my comfort [saying]: 'You've got great hair. Oh, your hair's so good.'" Not wanting to make her comments a big deal, Rock says he tried to play his them off. "[I said]: "Oh, baby, your hair's beautiful. Come on,'" he says. "If I would have really reacted, then she would have a complex about her hair." Still, Rock couldn't let it go. "It sparked something in me," he says. Oprah.com: Oprah's hair throughout the years! What Rock discovered is a $9 billion industry that affects the daily activities, wallets, self-esteem -- and even the sex lives -- of black women. Because women spend so much time and money on their hair, Rock says men are forced to adopt a hands-off policy. "You cannot touch a black woman's hair. You are conditioned not to even go there," he says. "When I was a dating guy, I dated women from different races. Anytime I was with an Asian or a Puerto Rican girl or a white girl, my hands would constantly be in their hair. <sep>Which women do not allow men to touch their hair, according to Chris Rock?<sep>White women

Question: When he was at Oxford he had been well known for concealing under a slightly rowdy exterior the highest spirits of any of the undergraduates. He was looked upon as the most fascinating of _farceurs_. It seems that he had distinguished himself there less for writing Greek verse, though he was good at it, than for the wonderful variety of fireworks that he persistently used to let off under the dean's window. It was this fancy of his that led, first, to his popularity, and afterwards to the unfortunate episode of his being sent down; soon after which he had married privately, chiefly in order to send his parents an announcement of his wedding in _The Morning Post_, as a surprise. Some people had come in after dinner--for there was going to be a little _sauterie intime_, as Mrs Mitchell called it, speaking in an accent of her own, so appalling that, as Vincy observed, it made it sound quite improper. Edith watched, intensely amused, as she saw that there were really one or two people present who, never having seen Mitchell before, naturally did not recognise him now, so that the disguise was considered a triumph. There was something truly agreeable in the deference he was showing to a peculiarly yellow lady in red, adorned with ugly real lace, and beautiful false hair. She was obviously delighted with the Russian prince. <sep>What is the name of the Russian prince?<sep>Edith

Editors' note: This post was updated August 15, 2013, with new information.
By now you've probably heard about OLED, or organic light-emitting diodes. LG and Samsung both revealed potential models at this year's CES, with the LG winning CNET's Best of CES Award.
Make no mistake, this is the most important advancement in TV technology in more than a decade, and a vast improvement over both LCD and plasma.
Here's why.
The what
You only need red, green, and blue light to create a TV image. OLEDs work by putting electricity through certain materials that glow these specific colors. No other TV technology creates light directly like this. LCDs use color filters and light-blocking liquid crystals above a light-creating backlight. Plasmas use UV light created by igniting pockets of gas to excite red, green, and blue phosphors.
The why
What does this mean? Well, OLED TVs will be thinner, lighter, more efficient, and better-performing than any current television technology. Each pixel can be shut off, for an absolute black (no other tech can do this, save CRT), meaning an actual infinite contrast ratio, not just marketing hype.
For example, LG's 55-inch OLED unveiled at CES weighs 16.5 pounds and is about as deep as a pencil (3/16 of an inch).
It's hard not to be excited about OLED, as it ticks all the boxes of a dream television: incredible contrast, impossibly thin, extremely energy efficient.
LED vs. OLED
As we've discussed before, current televisions marketed as "LED TVs" aren't actually LED TVs. They're LCD TVs that use LEDs for the backlight. While LED LCDs are energy efficient compared with "regular" LCDs and plasmas, they're still not as energy efficient as OLED. As far as the difference between LEDs and OLEDs, the latter uses materials that include carbon ("organic") to create light when supplied a current. In an extremely oversimplified and generalized explanation, LEDs are like tiny light bulbs, while OLEDs are light-emitting areas or surfaces.
The only real "LED TV," as in a TV that used LEDs for the image itself, was Sony's Crystal LED prototype it showed at CES. If this technology moves past the prototype stage, we'll report on it more fully.
RGB OLED vs. 'white' OLED
The current OLED TV technology can be split in two camps: RGB OLED and "White" OLED. RGB OLED is similar to how plasma TVs work, with separate red, green, and blue OLED subpixels.
White OLED is rather different, and a bit confusing at first. Red, green, and blue OLED materials are sandwiched together. When powered, these create a white light. This white light passes through a color filter, to create the red, green, and blue subpixels.
It looks something like this:
This incredibly beautiful graphic, by me, shows a side view of LG's White OLED structure. The front of the TV screen is at the top, with the back of the TV at the bottom. (1) A sandwich of red, green, and blue OLED layers together produce white light (2). Color filters (3) allow a specific color through (4) toward the screen. A clear filter (right) allows the white light to pass through, increasing overall brightness. As shown, this pixel would appear white. Turn off the OLED behind the blue filter, and pixel would appear yellow. Turn off the OLED behind the blue and red filters, the pixel will appear green, and so on. (Credit: Geoffrey Morrison/CNET)
This image above represents one pixel. There are just over 2 million of these on each TV (1,920x1,080). There is an additional white subpixel in the LG design, which adds additional brightness, helping efficiency.
This seems weird, right? I mean, if you've got all three colors there already, why make white just to then turn it back into specific color? Well, it turns out White OLED has several benefits. There are some claims that this white sandwich has longer life and less chance of color shift versus separate R, G, and B OLEDs. LG wouldn't commit to a lifespan claim when I asked it directly, however, saying only that while "long-life testing is still under way, we believe our WOLED will perform quite well vis-»-vis other displays."
What they did say, and this is very important, is at this stage it's easier to manufacture. That means "cheaper." I'm in the camp that anything that gets OLED to market sooner is a good thing.
Lastly, and this could be where White OLED wins out: it's easier to scale to different screen sizes, which means bigger (or smaller) OLED TVs sooner. That also means it's easier to scale to 4K resolutions. I'm on record saying 4K TVs are stupid, but I admit it's inevitable.
I know some of you are thinking: "Blech, color filters!" What kind of LCD-esque step back is this horror hybrid? At first, I was in this camp as well, but the more I've researched, White OLED offers a lot of advantages, separate from the "pure performance" aspect. Could RGB OLED be slightly more efficient, or have slightly better performance? Maybe, but at this stage, it doesn't matter. If White is easier to make, that's the road we're on.
OLED needs to come to market before we can argue the potential benefits of one version of the technology over another. OLED, regardless of the specific flavor, is going to perform better, and be more energy efficient than any current television.
Inevitably, future versions of this technology will perform better. We can fixate on that pixel when we come to it.
AMOLED vs. OLED
Cell phones and other small portable devices often specify that their screens are "AMOLED" instead of just "OLED." The "AM" stands for "active matrix," which is how the screen is addressed by the electronics of the device. It is just a different way of running an OLED screen, one that's better for motion (like video). Each pixel can be addressed individually, which is what you want in a television.
Those of you with long memories will remember the days when LCD monitors were called TFT LCD or active-matrix LCD. You hardly ever see that clarification because every LCD you're now likely to come in contact with (either phones, tablets, TVs, etc.) is active matrix. Same idea here. OLED TVs will be some kind of active matrix.
The when
Like any new technology, OLED TVs will be expensive at first. LG's 55EA9800 is $14,999. Samsung's KN55S9C is $8,999. Don't forget it wasn't too long ago that big-screen LCDs and plasma were well beyond the means of us mere mortals. Let the 1-percenters buy these first-generation panels, driving down the cost for the rest of us. Within a few years of launch, expect to see OLEDs as a significant, but reasonable, step up over LED LCDs and plasmas.
In the meantime, you can check out what OLED looks like now.
In the future, OLED has few limitations on size or resolution. Wall-size OLED screens have been hypothesized. Flexible OLED, still many years off, fulfills the sci-fi promise of screens you can roll up like a magazine.

Agence France-Presse/Getty Images
South Korean TV maker LG Electronics Inc. said Tuesday that it will begin selling its 55-inch curved-screen televisions starting today through Best Buy and will be taking pre-orders for two weeks.
At a whopping price of $14,999, it’s unclear whether there will be any demand for these next-generation TV sets, which promise vivid colors. Crosstown rival Samsung Electronics Co. also showcased similar TVs last month though they are only sold in South Korea. ||||| Earlier today we learned that Samsung's 55-inch curved OLED HDTV will soon be available in the US, priced at an eye-popping $14,999. Now it turns out LG has beaten its rival to the punch, though for the exact same lofty price. But whereas the Samsung TV will initially only be sold at a sole high-end electronics dealer, LG has a big box chain in its corner. Its OLED offering debuted today at Best Buy's flagship Magnolia home theater store in Richfield, Minnesota. And in the coming weeks, you'll be able to walk into stores in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami, Houston, and select other cities and take home your own curved set.
LG initially brought the ultra-premium 55-inch HDTV — which measures just 4.3 millimeters thick — to Korea last month. But by summer's end, the company says you'll be able to purchase the 55EA9800 at any Best Buy nationwide that contains a designated Magnolia shop. LG expects demand for OLED sets to hit 7 million by 2016. Still, consumers who can somehow justify such an extravagant purchase will need to decide whether "next-generation display technology" and that curved form are enough to steer them away from 4K (or perfectly good 1080p options) when the time to upgrade comes. |||||
A: | The newest whiz-bang TV will set you back a cool $15,000. South Korean companies LG and Samsung are selling 55-inch curved OLED televisions in the US, reports the Verge. LG is doing so via Best Buy (the rollout will gradually expand to stores across the US) and Samsung only through select dealers at first. The TVs are uber-thin and sleek-looking, and production is so tricky that prices aren't expected to come down anytime soon, reports the Wall Street Journal. OLED stands for "organic light-emitting-diode" technology, and CNET offers a primer on why this amounts to a "dream" TV: "incredible contrast, impossibly thin, extremely energy efficient." Just not very economical. |

What is the force of gravity noted as?, Context: Since then, and so far, general relativity has been acknowledged as the theory that best explains gravity. In GR, gravitation is not viewed as a force, but rather, objects moving freely in gravitational fields travel under their own inertia in straight lines through curved space-time – defined as the shortest space-time path between two space-time events. From the perspective of the object, all motion occurs as if there were no gravitation whatsoever. It is only when observing the motion in a global sense that the curvature of space-time can be observed and the force is inferred from the object's curved path. Thus, the straight line path in space-time is seen as a curved line in space, and it is called the ballistic trajectory of the object. For example, a basketball thrown from the ground moves in a parabola, as it is in a uniform gravitational field. Its space-time trajectory (when the extra ct dimension is added) is almost a straight line, slightly curved (with the radius of curvature of the order of few light-years). The time derivative of the changing momentum of the object is what we label as "gravitational force".
The time derivative of the changing momentum of the object
What happened during Pax Britannica?, Context: When Russia invaded the Turkish Balkans in 1853, fears of Russian dominance in the Mediterranean and Middle East led Britain and France to invade the Crimean Peninsula to destroy Russian naval capabilities. The ensuing Crimean War (1854–56), which involved new techniques of modern warfare, and was the only global war fought between Britain and another imperial power during the Pax Britannica, was a resounding defeat for Russia. The situation remained unresolved in Central Asia for two more decades, with Britain annexing Baluchistan in 1876 and Russia annexing Kirghizia, Kazakhstan, and Turkmenistan. For a while it appeared that another war would be inevitable, but the two countries reached an agreement on their respective spheres of influence in the region in 1878 and on all outstanding matters in 1907 with the signing of the Anglo-Russian Entente. The destruction of the Russian Navy by the Japanese at the Battle of Port Arthur during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904–05 also limited its threat to the British.

Ex Input:
Take a look at this train in Figure 1.11. It looks very futuristic. What do you notice about it? Did you notice that the train has no wheels? How can a train have no wheels? It doesn't need wheels. It actually floats, or levitates, just above the track. Magnets enable the train to do this. This is not a normal train. This is a maglev train. The word maglev stands for magnetic levitation. Because it has no wheels, there is no friction. Some magnets hold the train up. Other magnets are used to move the train forward. This train can go very fast. It can reach speeds up to 480 kilometers (300 miles) per hour! Magnets are pretty cool. What exactly is a magnet? How is it able to exert such force? <sep>How does the train work without wheels?<sep>It uses magnets to levitates above the train tracks

Oh no! Your younger sister just mixed up all of your LEGO parts. Now you have to put them all back into the original categories. How will you do this? You sort them by size and shape until they are each back into their specific place in the tray. What do you think you could have called the mess your younger sister created? Thats right, it is a mixture. Fortunately, it was a physical change and she just made a simple mixture. You are able to separate them back into order. Its a good thing she did not toss them into the fireplace. That would have caused a chemical change as they all melted together. If your LEGOs were melted, you would be out of luck for building that next big project. <sep>What is a simple mixture?<sep>The mess your sister made

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

How to ask a certain book publishing company to publish an amazon kindle ebook (on amazon )
Know which companies will take the requests from the amazon webpage.
Only some companies do, and it's remarkable which ones won't. Among these companies include hachette, harpercollins, simon & schuster, penguin or macmillan.
Available options:
a). Research the company who will publish the ebook. Is the company working purely as a gofer? Writing a review that shows professionalism and reliability is not your signature.
b). There are more in this list, but you'll have to be vigilant to find the publishers that do. Visit the amazon website in your web browser.
c). Make sure the company takes all your requests, it's always the default way to submit them. This way, you don't have to voice reservations every day.
d). Choose whichever company will publish the book. Otherwise, decide which company will take the requested requests. | b). |

Five independent Salt Lake organizations that provide legal services to the poor, ethnic minorities, seniors and people with disabilities have joined together to acquire a west-side downtown building where they will have their offices. The new Community Legal Center at 205 N. 400 West is a project of "And Justice for All," which, until this venture, has been a joint fund-raising campaign by an alliance of the non-profit providers of free legal services. "And Justice for All," which solicits donations primarily from Utah lawyers and foundations, was the first joint fund-raising campaign of legal services agencies in the country, and the Community Legal Center is the first joint office project of public service law groups. The Legal Aid Society of Salt Lake, the Disability Law Center, the Multi-Cultural Legal Center, the Senior Lawyer Volunteer Project and Utah Legal Services will share the new facility, and last Wednesday their board members were given a tour of the Community Legal Center hosted by staff members of the five agencies. All of the agencies can share the same reception area and client waiting room. The building is close in, across the street from West High and two blocks from the Gateway. It has its own parking, something that's hard to find downtown and which has been a problem for staff as well as clients. Owning and sharing the building and not paying rent times five will save the non-profit agencies about $375,000 each year. My assistant, Charity Christenson, pointed out that the shared facility will also be efficient for those needing legal services. No longer will a woman desperate for a protective order, for example, have to run all over town trying to find the right agency. After the tour, we found Jaye Olafson at the cookies and brownies reception on the first floor. Jaye and her husband, Erik, own Tomax Technologies and were the sellers of the building. Jaye explained how much of the renovation had been merely uncovering what was already there. The hardwood floors, wooden ceilings and brick and stone interior walls were all hidden behind coverings and old paint. She loves the building, and they only moved out because the business had outgrown the space. So they renovated the old Sweet Candy Company building for Tomax. The Olafsons are delighted with the new owners. The building had been like home, she explained, and so it was important who would be living there. <sep>What two areas of the building will all five agencies be sharing?<sep>The offices and break rooms

The rally took place on October 17, the shooting on February 29. Again, standard filmmaking techniques are interpreted as smooth distortion: "Moore works by depriving you of context and guiding your mind to fill the vacuum -- with completely false ideas. It is brilliantly, if unethically, done." As noted above, the "from my cold dead hands" part is simply Moore's way to introduce Heston. Did anyone but Moore's critics view it as anything else? He certainly does not "attribute it to a speech where it was not uttered" and, as noted above, doing so twice would make no sense whatsoever if Moore was the mastermind deceiver that his critics claim he is. Concerning the Georgetown Hoya interview where Heston was asked about Rolland, you write: "There is no indication that [Heston] recognized Kayla Rolland's case." This is naive to the extreme -- Heston would not be president of the NRA if he was not kept up to date on the most prominent cases of gun violence. Even if he did not respond to that part of the interview, he certainly knew about the case at that point. Regarding the NRA website excerpt about the case and the highlighting of the phrase "48 hours after Kayla Rolland is pronounced dead": This is one valid criticism, but far from the deliberate distortion you make it out to be; rather, it is an example for how the facts can sometimes be easy to miss with Moore's fast pace editing. The reason the sentence is highlighted is not to deceive the viewer into believing that Heston hurried to Flint to immediately hold a rally there (as will become quite obvious), but simply to highlight the first mention of the name "Kayla Rolland" in the text, which is in this paragraph. <sep>When was Kayla Rolland shot?<sep>February 17

Imagine a glass of your favorite drink that never became empty. Now think about what really happens. You take a drink and there is less in the glass. You keep drinking and soon it is all gone. Good thing you have more to refill your glass. What if there would never be any more of your favorite drink. What would you do? Now you know the difference between renewable and non-renewable. Its too bad that many things here on Earth will run out. This includes some of our natural resources we depend on. Things like oil will not last forever. There is a limited supply. Someday, we will run out, so then what? At current rates of use, coal will last about 300 years. Petroleum will be used up in just a few decades. <sep>What are some non-renewable resources?<sep>Solar

In this task you will be given an answer to a question. You need to generate a question. The answer given should be a correct answer for the generated question.
The House of Wisdom (Arabic: بيت الحكمة ; Bayt al-Hikma) refers either to a major Abbasid public academy and intellectual center in Baghdad or to a large private library belonging to the Abbasid Caliphs during the Islamic Golden Age. The House of Wisdom is the subject of an active dispute over its functions and existence as a formal academy, an issue complicated by a lack of physical evidence following the collapse of the Abbasid Caliphate and a reliance on corroboration of literary sources to construct a narrative. The House of Wisdom was founded either as a library for the collections of the Caliph Harun al-Rashid in the late 8th century and later turned into a public academy during the reign of Al-Ma'mun or was a private collection created by Al-Mansur (reign 754 -- 775) to house rare books and collections of poetry in both Arabic and Persian. Regardless, the House of Wisdom existed as a part of the major Translation Movement taking place during the Abbasid Era, translating works from Greek and Syriac to Arabic, but it is unlikely that The House of Wisdom existed as the sole center of such work, as major translation efforts arose in Cairo and Damascus even earlier than the proposed establishment of the House of Wisdom. This translation movement lent momentum to a great deal of original research occurring in the Islamicate world, which had access to texts from Greek, Persian and Indian sources, as opposed to the 'Bookshelf Thesis' that reduces the contributions of Islamicate scholars to mere translation and preservation of Greek texts. | what was the purpose of the house of wisdom |
Given the task definition, example input & output, solve the new input case.
In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Example: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Output: Russian Revolution
This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
New input case for you: What is the most common cause of death from infectious diseases?, Context: Tuberculosis is the second-most common cause of death from infectious disease (after those due to HIV/AIDS). The total number of tuberculosis cases has been decreasing since 2005, while new cases have decreased since 2002. China has achieved particularly dramatic progress, with about an 80% reduction in its TB mortality rate between 1990 and 2010. The number of new cases has declined by 17% between 2004–2014. Tuberculosis is more common in developing countries; about 80% of the population in many Asian and African countries test positive in tuberculin tests, while only 5–10% of the US population test positive. Hopes of totally controlling the disease have been dramatically dampened because of a number of factors, including the difficulty of developing an effective vaccine, the expensive and time-consuming diagnostic process, the necessity of many months of treatment, the increase in HIV-associated tuberculosis, and the emergence of drug-resistant cases in the 1980s.
Output: | HIV/AIDS |

Confusing? We agree! So here’s how it all went down, according to Oregonian Live:
1: 21-year-old William Coleman III from Gresham, OR purchased a new Walther-P22 that morning, and was openly swaggering ’round with it. (Oregon is an open carry state.) He happened to be outside at 2:30 AM the next morning, talking to his cousin on a street corner, when a young man approached them and asked for a cigarette.
After inquiring about Coleman’s new gun, the man pulled out his own gun and reportedly said, “I like your gun. Give it to me.” He handed over his gun and the perpetrator fled on foot.
Police are on the lookout for a 6’1″ man with a small goatee, short black wavy hair, and a trickster spirit.

According to Gresham police, William Coleman III was talking to his cousin near 172nd and Glisan at about 2:10 a.m. on Saturday while openly carrying the gun he had purchased on Friday.
Coleman said a man, about 19- to 23-years-old, approached them, asking for a cigarette. Coleman said the man then inquired about Coleman's weapon, then pulled a pistol from his own waistband and said, "I like your gun. Give it to me." Coleman handed over his new handgun and the suspect left on foot.
Coleman described the man as 6-foot-1, clean cut with a small patch of facial hair on his chin and short black wavy hair. He was wearing grey sweatpants, a white t-shirt and flip-flops during the incident.
The stolen gun was a black Walther P22 semi-automatic designed to take 22-long ammunition.

CLEVELAND, Ohio -- Indians center fielder Grady Sizemore says legal action has been taken after pictures of himself in various stages of dress and undress appeared on an Internet site Sunday morning.
"These pictures were stolen illegally from my girlfriend's e-mail," Sizemore told The Plain Dealer Sunday night. "It's now a legal matter that is under investigation. I can't say anything more."
MLB and the players association are said to be investigating the matter on Sizemore's behalf.
At least 15 pictures of Sizemore appeared on the Web site. He is alone in all of them. He's taking pictures of himself with a cell phone while looking into a bathroom mirror in several of them.
In some pictures Sizemore is fully dressed. In others, he's in his underwear or nude.
"I have not seen the pictures," said GM Mark Shapiro, "but I will look into it."
On Monday, the Indians released this statement. “We fully support Grady as he deals with this personal matter. The posted photos were stolen from his girlfriend's email account and a legal investigation is underway."
Sizemore said the pictures were meant for his girlfriend only.
Last season Sizemore, considered the face of the Indians' organization, played with two injuries that required surgery in September. He underwent surgery on his left elbow and for a sport hernia. He suffered both injuries in spring training.
Sizemore hit a career-low .248 (108-for-436) with 73 runs, 20 doubles, six triples, 18 homers and 64 RBI. Sizemore, 27, is a three-time All-Star and two-time Gold Glove winner. ||||| Starting in 1996, Alexa Internet has been donating their crawl data to the Internet Archive.

Student: | Clearly unfamiliar with the saying about closing the barn door after the naked pictures are out, Cleveland Indian Grady Sizemore wants his racy cellphone photos back. The All-Star outfielder shared the steamy self-portraits with his girlfriend; how they wound up all over the Web is now a matter for investigators from MLB and the players union. "These pictures were stolen illegally from my girlfriend's email," Sizemore tells the Plain Dealer. "It's now a legal matter that is under investigation. I can't say anything more." "These have been making the rounds in an email forward, purportedly meant for Grady's girlfriend, Playboy Playmate Brittany Binger," Deadspin said in posting the pics. “I have not seen the pictures, but I will look into it,” said Indians GM Mark Shapiro. A quick look around the Interwebs will reveal ... uh, show ... uh, indicate that Sizemore keeps a neat bathroom and is a fairly snappy dresser when he's able to keep his clothes on. |

[EX Q]: What first lady was a member?, Context: In 1975, a group of Chicago Cubs fans based in Washington, D.C. formed the Emil Verban Society. The society is a select club of high profile Cub fans, currently headed by Illinois Senator Dick Durbin which is named for Emil Verban, who in three seasons with the Cubs in the 1940s batted .280 with 39 runs batted in and one home run. Verban was picked as the epitome of a Cub player, explains columnist George Will, because "He exemplified mediocrity under pressure, he was competent but obscure and typifying of the work ethics." Verban initially believed he was being ridiculed, but his ill feeling disappeared several years later when he was flown to Washington to meet President Ronald Reagan, also a society member, at the White House. Hillary Clinton, Jim Belushi, Joe Mantegna, Rahm Emanuel, Dick Cheney and many others have been included among its membership.
[EX A]: Hillary Clinton
[EX Q]: How are the online intermediaries protected under the European law?, Context: The U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (1998) and the European E-Commerce Directive (2000) provide online intermediaries with limited statutory immunity from liability for copyright infringement. Online intermediaries hosting content that infringes copyright are not liable, so long as they do not know about it and take actions once the infringing content is brought to their attention. In U.S. law this is characterized as "safe harbor" provisions. Under European law, the governing principles for Internet Service Providers are "mere conduit", meaning that they are neutral 'pipes' with no knowledge of what they are carrying; and 'no obligation to monitor' meaning that they cannot be given a general mandate by governments to monitor content. These two principles are a barrier for certain forms of online copyright enforcement and they were the reason behind an attempt to amend the European Telecoms Package in 2009 to support new measures against copyright infringement.
[EX A]: they cannot be given a general mandate by governments to monitor content
[EX Q]: What are the Japanese katakana characters for a professional wrestler?, Context: In Japan, professional wrestling done by female wrestlers is called joshi puroresu (女子プロレス) or joshi puro for short. Female wrestling is usually handled by promotions that specialize in joshi puroresu rather than divisions of otherwise male-dominated promotions, as is the case in the United States. However, joshi puroresu promotions usually have agreements with male puroresu promotions such that they recognize each other's titles as legitimate, and may share cards. All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling was the dominant joshi organization from the 1970s to the 1990s.
