Sam wanted a phone, so he asked his Mom if he could have one because phones are very expensive. Sam told his Mom that he could do extra chores for money to buy one. Sam's Mom told him that a phone is very expensive, much more expensive than the toys he normally buys with his chore money. But Sam still really wanted a phone. Sam's Mom came up with an idea and told Sam to pray for one. Since she could not help him, maybe God could help him. That night Sam prayed before bed and asked if he could somehow have a phone. The next day Sam was playing bat and ball with his brother John and sister Lucy. He saw something shine from the ground. He found a phone lying there. He ran and took it to his Mom who checked the phone, and after a quick clean found the phone worked. She told Sam that someone must have lost the phone and she'll call them to tell them they have found the phone. Sam sat in the kitchen as Sam's Mom called the number in the phone.

An exhibition game (also known as a friendly, a scrimmage, a demonstration, a preseason game, a warmup match, or a preparation match, depending at least in part on the sport) is a sporting event whose prize money and impact on the player's or the team's rankings is either zero or otherwise greatly reduced. In team sports, matches of this type are often used to help coaches and managers select players for the competitive matches of a league season or tournament. If the players usually play in different teams in other leagues, exhibition games offer an opportunity for the players to learn to work with each other. The games can be held between separate teams or between parts of the same team. An exhibition game may also be used to settle a challenge, to provide professional entertainment, to promote the sport, or to raise money for charities. Several sports leagues hold all-star games to showcase their best players against each other, while other exhibitions games may pit participants from two different leagues or countries to unofficially determine who would be the best in the world. International competitions like the Olympic Games may also hold exhibition games as part of a demonstration sport. Q: What type of match-up can be used to resolve a challenge? A: An exhibition game Q: Are these sometimes played before the start of a season? A: Yes Q: Are they known by many names? A: Yes Q: What does the name somewhat rely on? A: On the sport Q: Does it effect a teams ranking? A: No Q: What can players learn during these games? A: How to work with each other Q: What can it help coaches do? A: Select players for the competitive matches Q: When do they play those? A: unknown Q: Is there money paid to the winners? A: unknown Q: Can one team play a game like this among themselves? A: Yes Q: Can charities make use of these? A: Yes Q: for what? A: To raise money Q: Are they sometimes just for entertainment? A: Yes Q: What about just for promotion? A: Yes Q: What would they be promoting? A: The sport Q: Are there any international games that use them? A: Yes Q: Like what? A: The Olympic Games Q: What might they use them for? A: As a demonstration sport. Q: When was the first one played? A: unknown Q: Where did they come up with this name? A: unknown

Geodesy (/dʒiːˈɒdɨsi/), also named geodetics, is the scientific discipline that deals with the measurement and representation of the Earth. The history of geodesy began in antiquity and blossomed during the Age of Enlightenment. Early ideas about the figure of the Earth held the Earth to be flat (see flat Earth), and the heavens a physical dome spanning over it. Two early arguments for a spherical Earth were that lunar eclipses were seen as circular shadows which could only be caused by a spherical Earth, and that Polaris is seen lower in the sky as one travels South. The early Greeks, in their speculation and theorizing, ranged from the flat disc advocated by Homer to the spherical body postulated by Pythagoras. Pythagoras's idea was supported later by Aristotle. Pythagoras was a mathematician and to him the most perfect figure was a sphere. He reasoned that the gods would create a perfect figure and therefore the Earth was created to be spherical in shape. Anaximenes, an early Greek philosopher, believed strongly that the Earth was rectangular in shape. Since the spherical shape was the most widely supported during the Greek Era, efforts to determine its size followed. Plato determined the circumference of the Earth (which is slightly over 40,000 km) to be 400,000 stadia (between 62,800 and 74,000 km or 46,250 and 39,250 mi) while Archimedes estimated 300,000 stadia (48,300 km or 30,000 mi), using the Hellenic stadion which scholars generally take to be 185 meters or of a geographical mile. Plato's figure was a guess and Archimedes' a more conservative approximation. Q: When did geodesy begin? A: in antiquity Q: When did it flourish?

Two Chinese farmers who became an overnight hit when their heart-rending version of a famous pop song appeared on the Internet took to the stage in front of thousands of fans in Shanghai last Saturday. Wang Xu, 44,and Liu Gang, 29, sang "In the Spring" alongside the song's star composer Wang Feng, in front of about 80,000 people at the Shanghai Stadium. The audience buzzed with excitement and let out deafening cheers, the moment as they were introduced on the stage and then when Liu started the first sentence of their parts of the song. The two migrant workers became stars after singing the tearjerker song during an evening drinking session in a 6-square-meter rented room in a late August evening. A friend recorded the performance on a cell phone and posted it on the Internet. "If someday I am dead, please bury me in the spring," they sing. Wang's penetrating chorus, delivered with his eyes closed, has moved thousands to tears. Wang and Liu consider the song a true portrait of lower-class groups like themselves. "With no credit card, no girlfriend, or a home with hot water, but only a guitar, I am singing happily, on streets, under bridges or in wild country, though nobody pays attention to the music," they sing. To support his wife and two sons, Wang came to Beijing in 2000 from the countryside and has worked as a boiler man, and street peddler, before becoming a medical warehouse keeper, with a monthly pay of around 1,500 yuan. Little is left after he pays 600 yuan for rent and buys food. Liu came to Beijing in 2002. "I wanted to try my luck in the big city, " he said. He had worked as a guard, roadside peddler, and porter, but never had a stable job. Street performing was his main income, even after he married and became a father three years ago. Wang and Liu are still uncertain where their fame will lead. Wang has started learning to use a computer. They even have a micro blog account to communicate with fans. Q: What is the name of the famous pop song? A: "In the Spring" Q: Who composed it? A: Wang Feng Q: Who else did he perform with at the stadium?

(CNN) -- Australia shocked Germany 2-1 in their friendly international in Moenchengladbach on Tuesday, a result that saw the Socceroos gain some revenge for their 4-0 defeat by the Germans in South Africa 2010. Germany coach Joachim Loew named a weakened side for the match -- and he was punished with the worse defeat in his four-and-a-half years in charge as Australia secured one of their greatest-ever footballing victories. The home side looked to be on course for victory when Bayern Munich striker Mario Gomez slotted the ball home from the edge of the area in the 26th minute. But the visitors turned things around after the interval and levelled on the hour mark when David Carney burst through the Germany defense to fire past goalkeeper Tim Wiese. And Australia sealed a famous win just two minutes later when Christian Traesch fouled Harry Kewell in the area and Luke Wilkshire scored from the spot. Meanwhile, a last-gasp Asamoah Gyan goal gave Ghana a 1-1 draw against England at Wembley in an end-to-end encounter. In front of a capacity crowd that included over 20,000 Ghanaians, England took the lead when the most expensive English signing ever, Andy Carroll, fired home his first goal for his country. But Ghana never gave up and levelled in the final minute when Gyan, who plays his club football in England for Sunderland, found space in the area to shoot past goalkeeper Joe Hart. Elsewhere, in-form France were denied a seventh consecutive victory by Croatia as the teams drew 0-0 in their friendly match at the Stade de France. Q: Who beat Germany? A: Australia Q: In what? A: Soccer Q: Is it called something else? A: Footballing. Q: Who is the German coach? A: Joachim Loew Q: What happened to him? A: He was punished. Q: How? A: Defeat. Q: Was the land down under always ahead? A: Np Q: Repeat? A: No Q: Who won the game for Australia? A: Luke Wilkshire Q: What was the final score? A: 2-1 Q: Who else played that day? A: Ghana and England Q: Who won? A: No one. Q: Why? A: They drawed. Q: Were there a lot of people in attendance? A: Yes. Q: Did Ghana accept defeat? A: No. Q: Who is Joe Hart? A: Goalkeeper. Q: Was there another game? A: Yes Q: Who won that game? A: No one.

A news agency (French: "agence de presse") is an organization that gathers news reports and sells them to subscribing news organizations, such as newspapers, magazines and radio and television broadcasters. A news agency may also be referred to as a wire service, newswire, or news service. Although there are many news agencies around the world, three global news agencies, Agence France-Presse (AFP), Associated Press (AP) and Reuters, have offices in most countries of the world and cover all areas of information. All three began with and continue to operate on a basic philosophy of providing a single objective news feed to all subscribers; they do not provide separate feeds for conservative or liberal newspapers. Jonathan Fenby explains the philosophy: To achieve such wide acceptability, the agencies avoid overt partiality. Demonstrably correct information is their stock in trade. Traditionally, they report at a reduced level of responsibility, attributing their information to a spokesman, the press, or other sources. They avoid making judgments and steer clear of doubt and ambiguity. Though their founders did not use the word, objectivity is the philosophical basis for their enterprises – or failing that, widely acceptable neutrality. Only a few large newspapers could afford bureaus outside their home city. They relied instead on news agencies, especially Havas (founded 1835) in France and the Associated Press (founded 1846) in the United States. Former Havas employees founded Reuters in 1851 in Britain and Wolff in 1849 in Germany; Havas is now Agence France-Presse (AFP). For international news, the agencies pooled their resources, so that Havas, for example, covered the French Empire, South America and the Balkans and shared the news with the other national agencies. In France the typical contract with Havas provided a provincial newspaper with 1800 lines of telegraphed text daily, for an annual subscription rate of 10,000 francs. Other agencies provided features and fiction for their subscribers. Q: What do news agencies avoid? A: overt partiality Q: Do they have a history of reporting at reduced levels of accountability? A: yes Q: How many large news publications could afford news services outside their own town? A: Only a few Q: Who did they rely on in France? A: news agencies Q: Who founded Reuters? A: Former Havas employees Q: When in Britain? A: 1851 Q: What was the German version called? A: Wolff Q: When was it formed? A: 1849 Q: What areas did Havas cover? A: the French Empire, South America and the Balkans Q: Did they keep their news to themselves? A: no Q: Who did they share it with? A: the other national agencies Q: What is Havas now called? A: Agence France-Presse Q: Do news agencies give their news away for free? A: no Q: What's an example of a place that might purchase news from them? A: unknown

CHAPTER XVII THREE DAYS Lincoln awaited Graham in an apartment beneath the flying stages. He seemed curious to learn all that had happened, pleased to hear of the extraordinary delight and interest which Graham took in flying. Graham was in a mood of enthusiasm. "I must learn to fly," he cried. "I must master that. I pity all poor souls who have died without this opportunity. The sweet swift air! It is the most wonderful experience in the world." "You will find our new times full of wonderful experiences," said Lincoln. "I do not know what you will care to do now. We have music that may seem novel." "For the present," said Graham, "flying holds me. Let me learn more of that. Your aeronaut was saying there is some trades union objection to one's learning." "There is, I believe," said Lincoln. "But for you--! If you would like to occupy yourself with that, we can make you a sworn aeronaut to-morrow." Graham expressed his wishes vividly and talked of his sensations for a while. "And as for affairs," he asked abruptly. "How are things going on?" Lincoln waved affairs aside. "Ostrog will tell you that to-morrow," he said. "Everything is settling down. The Revolution accomplishes itself all over the world. Friction is inevitable here and there, of course; but your rule is assured. You may rest secure with things in Ostrog's hands." "Would it be possible for me to be made a sworn aeronaut, as you call it, forthwith--before I sleep?" said Graham, pacing. "Then I could be at it the very first thing to-morrow again...."

Bucharest, Romania (CNN) -- Romania's president Traian Basescu was suspended on Friday, after the impeachment motion filed by the ruling coalition passed the Parliament's vote. Romania's coalition of Social Democrats and Liberals argued their action by saying that President Traian Basescu has breached the Constitution and overstepped his authority. The motion passed with 256 votes, 39 more than the minimum required. The country is expected to hold a referendum on July 29, when Romanians will have to vote whether they want Basescu to remain in office. During the suspension, National Liberal Party leader Crin Antonescu, who is also the president of the Senate, will assume the interim presidency. Earlier this week, Antonescu was appointed the president of the Senate. This position allows him to assume the president's attributions, in case the latter is suspended, according to the Constitution. Crin Antonescu said on Friday he is ready to step out of politics if Basescu wins the referendum. During his speech in parliament, before the vote, Basescu accused the ruling coalition of taking control of the country's judicial system and public institutions. He also expressed concern about the country's state of law and said this political turmoil will have long-term negative impacts on Romania. "Take care of the country!" Basescu said at the end of his speech. It is the second time Basescu has faced suspension since he took the power, eight years ago. The first time was in 2007, after which he won a referendum and returned to office. Earlier on Friday, Romania's Constitutional Court gave an ambiguous statement regarding the constitutional status of this impeachment motion. The judges approved some of the points from the motion, but they didn't make it clear whether Basescu has violated the Constitution or not. In any case, the Court played an advisory role this time, leaving the final word to the Parliament. The court issued a statement saying that one of its judges, Aspazia Cojocaru, received threats prior to court debates on the impeachment motion. Q: who is the leader of the National Liberal Party? A: Crin Antonescu Q: what is he also the president of? A: the Senate Q: who was being suspended? A: president Traian Basescu Q: what did he say at end of his speech? A: "Take care of the country!" Q: was this the first time he had been suspended? A: no Q: when was the first time he was? A: 2007 Q: what country is he president of? A: Romania Q: who will assume the presidency after? A: Crin Antonescu Q: how many votes did the motion pass with? A: 256 Q: how many did it need to be passed? A: 217 Q: when is the referendum going to be held? A: July 29 Q: will Crin stay on if Basescu wins? A: no Q: did the judges approve the motion? A: some of the points from the motion Q: who has the final word? A: the Parliament Q: did anyone receive threats? A: yes Q: who? A: Aspazia Cojocaru Q: when did he get them? A: prior to court debates Q: when did the court give its statement? A: earlier on Friday Q: was the statement super duper clear? A: The judges approved some of the points from the motion, but they didn't make it clear whether Basescu has violated the Constitution or not. Q: so it was ambiguous? A: yes

(CNN) -- Inter Milan are once again five points behind rivals AC Milan at the top of the Italian Serie A table after crushing Genoa 5-2 at the San Siro on Sunday. But the defending champions had to come from behind to claim the three points, Genoa leading 1-0 at the break after Rodrigo Palacio fired home following good work from Abdoulay Konko. However, Inter were a different side in the second-half and three goals in seven minutes completely turned the match around. The home side leveled in the 50th minute when Giampaolo Mazzini slotted home Maicon's cross and they took the lead a minute later when Samuel Eto'o converted a rebound after Goran Pandev's shot was fumbled by goalkeeper Eduardo. And Eto'o added his second goal just six minutes later with a superb individual effort, the Cameroon striker's 18th goal of the season. Goran Pandev made it 4-1 in the 68th minute, after being set-up by Eto'o and Wesley Sneijder, and Yuto Nagatomo netted his first goal for the club to complete the scoring. Mauro Boselli's late header proved little more than a consolation goal for the visitors. Meanwhile, third-placed Napoli lost more ground on the top two after being held to a goalless draw by lowly Brescia at the San Paolo, with coach Walter Mazzarri sent to the stands in the first half for arguing with the referee. The Naples side are now eight points off the top and just two points ahead of fourth placed Lazio, who saw off Palermo 2-0 thanks to an early double from Giuseppe Sculli. Q: Who got smashed, 5-2? A: Genoa Q: Where at? A: San Siro Q: When? A: Sunday Q: Are they far behind their enemies? A: Yes Q: Who ran home after Abdoulay's excellent job? A: Rodrigo Palacio

Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement, often north and south along a flyway, between breeding and wintering grounds. Many species of bird migrate. Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by availability of food. It occurs mainly in the northern hemisphere, where birds are funnelled on to specific routes by natural barriers such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean Sea. Historically, migration has been recorded as much as 3,000 years ago by Ancient Greek authors including Homer and Aristotle, and in the Book of Job, for species such as storks, turtle doves, and swallows. More recently, Johannes Leche began recording dates of arrivals of spring migrants in Finland in 1749, and scientific studies have used techniques including bird ringing and satellite tracking. Threats to migratory birds have grown with habitat destruction especially of stopover and wintering sites, as well as structures such as power lines and wind farms. Q: Which half of the earth has more bird migration? A: the northern hemisphere Q: How long have people been observing and recording migration? A: 3,000 years Q: Who was one early writer recording migration? A: Aristotle Q: And another? A: Homer Q: What is one species that was recorded in early records? A: swallows. Q: And another? A: storks Q: What scientist in the 1700’s studied migration? A: Johannes Leche Q: In what country was he observing? A: Finland Q: What is a modern day method used for observing migration? A: satellite tracking Q: Do man made items disturb bird migration? A: yes Q: What is one object that does? A: power lines Q: Any others? A: wind farms too Q: Other than breeding grounds and wintering grounds what are birds seeking when they migrate? A: food availability Q: Is migration a low risk activity for birds? A: no Q: What might cause their death then? A: hunting Q: Has man changing the landscape helped birds? A: no

Conservation biology is the management of nature and of Earth's biodiversity with the aim of protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems from excessive rates of extinction and the erosion of biotic interactions. It is an interdisciplinary subject drawing on natural and social sciences, and the practice of natural resource management. The conservation ethic is based on the findings of conservation biology. The term conservation biology and its conception as a new field originated with the convening of "The First International Conference on Research in Conservation Biology" held at the University of California, San Diego in La Jolla, California in 1978 led by American biologists Bruce A. Wilcox and Michael E. Soulé with a group of leading university and zoo researchers and conservationists including Kurt Benirschke, Sir Otto Frankel, Thomas Lovejoy, and Jared Diamond. The meeting was prompted by the concern over tropical deforestation, disappearing species, eroding genetic diversity within species. The conference and proceedings that resulted sought to initiate the bridging of a gap between theory in ecology and evolutionary genetics on the one hand and conservation policy and practice on the other. Conservation biology and the concept of biological diversity (biodiversity) emerged together, helping crystallize the modern era of conservation science and policy. The inherent multidisciplinary basis for conservation biology has led to new subdisciplines including conservation social science, conservation behavior and conservation physiology. It stimulated further development of conservation genetics which Otto Frankel had originated first but is now often considered a subdiscipline as well. Q: What is the conservation ethic based on? A: the findings of conservation biology Q: What is this kind of biology? A: Conservation biology Q: What does conservation biology manage? A: nature Q: Does it involve biological diversity? A: yes Q: What are its goals? A: protecting species, their habitats, and ecosystems Q: Does it draw from just one discipline? A: no Q: At what meeting did the name for the discipline originate? A: The First International Conference on Research in Conservation Biology Q: What school hosted that? A: the University of California Q: In what city? A: San Diego Q: What year did it take place? A: 1978 Q: What scientists headed it? A: Bruce A. Wilcox and Michael E. Soulé Q: What other scientists attended? A: Kurt Benirschke, Sir Otto Frankel, Thomas Lovejoy, and Jared Diamond Q: What worries were the reason for the event? A: tropical deforestation, disappearing species, eroding genetic diversity within species Q: What did Otto Frankel originate? A: conservation genetics

(CNN) -- Serena Williams fended off a stirring fightback from Agnieszka Radwanska to win her fifth Wimbledon singles title with a 6-1 5-7 6-2 victory Saturday.

(CNN) -- The leader of an apocalyptic New Mexico church who claims to be the Messiah was arrested Tuesday on sex charges, state police said. Wayne Bent, who also goes by the name Michael Travesser, was arrested at the compound that is home to his Lord Our Righteousness Church, called Strong City by members. He was being interviewed, state police spokesman Peter Olson said. The arrests come after three children were removed from the compound late last month. A post on the group's Web site said Bent was arrested Tuesday morning. "I was told by the agent in charge of the case that the arrest warrant specified charges of three counts of sexual contact with a minor, and three counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor," said the post, written by an unnamed follower. "The bail was set at half a million dollars." The writer said sect members were questioned at a state police office in Clayton, New Mexico, and promised to update the site with "a more complete response to these false charges." The Lord Our Righteousness Church was founded in 1987 by former Seventh-day Adventists, according to the group's Web site. "Since that time, many have joined who do not have their roots in Adventism." Bent said on the Web site that God revealed to him in 2000 that he is the Messiah. A post from Monday written by Bent said, "The current upheaval over me and the present contest is well under way. It was the same for Jesus. Jesus had not committed any crimes, so the authorities had to invent some crimes to crucify him over. Q: Where were sect members questioned?

DALLAS, Texas (CNN) -- Texas terrorism suspect Hosam Smadi recorded a seven-minute video message for al Qaeda mastermind Osama bin Laden before his arrest on charges of plotting to blow up a Dallas building, an FBI agent testified Monday. Hosam Maher Husein Smadi said through his lawyer that he understood the charges Friday. No details of the message were provided in court. But FBI Special Agent Thomas Petrowski said the video was recorded in a hotel room with the assistance of undercover FBI operatives and Smadi intended for it to be delivered to or seen by bin Laden, the fugitive leader of the terrorist network behind the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. Smadi, a 19-year-old Jordanian living in the United States illegally, is charged with plotting to set off a bomb at the base of the 60-story Fountain Plaza office tower in downtown Dallas. He was arrested September 24 after federal agents said he tried to trigger an improvised bomb attached to a vehicle at the base of the building. At a brief hearing in Dallas on Monday, Magistrate Judge Irma Ramirez ordered Smadi bound over for future hearings. Peter Fleury, the public defender representing Smadi, told reporters that his client remains held under immigration law, with no bail set. Fleury called his client "a scared 19-year-old kid held away from his family," who could face additional charges from a grand jury. Prosecutors don't have to share the evidence against Smadi until after a grand jury acts, so lawyers don't know the full extent of the case against him, Fleury said. Q: How old is Hosam Smadi? A: 19 Q: Is he an American? A: no Q: Is he a legal immigrant? A: no Q: Is he a terrorist suspect? A: yes Q: What was his weapon of choice? A: bomb Q: What was the bomb connected to? A: a vehicle Q: Was the bomb pre made? A: unknown Q: What was the intended target? A: Fountain Plaza office tower Q: Is it a tall building? A: yes Q: How many floors? A: 60 Q: What city is it in?

CHAPTER VIII. THE CART RIDE. A week after this, Caleb had his whip to mend. He had broken off the lash, by whipping in sticks and little pieces of drift-wood to the mole. David and Dwight worked a little every day upon the mole, and had carried it out pretty far into the stream, and had almost finished the lower branches of the Y. So, one morning, after the boys had gone to school, and Caleb had had his reading lesson, he sat down upon the steps of the door, behind the house, and began to tie on his lash with a piece of twine which Mary Anna had given him. Behind the house where Caleb's grandmother lived, there was a lane which led to the pasture. At the head of the lane, where you entered it from the yard, were a pair of bars. While Caleb was mending his whip, he accidentally looked up, and noticed that the bars were down. "There, Mr. Raymond," said Caleb, talking to himself, as he went on winding his twine round and round the whip-handle; "for once in your life, you have been careless. You have left your bars down. Now we shall have the cattle all let out, unless I go and stop the mischief." Caleb thought he would go and put the bars up again, as soon as he had tied the ends of his twine; but before he got quite ready, he heard a noise, as of something coming in the lane. He could not see down the lane far, from the place where he sat, for the barn was in the way. But he wondered what could be coming, and he looked towards the bars, and sat waiting for it to appear. Q: Who worked on the mole daily? A: David and Dwight Q: Did they know Caleb? A: yes Q: Who gave him the twine? A: Mary Anna Q: Did the whip need mending? A: yes Q: What was broken on it? A: the lash Q: where did David and Dwight go in the morning? A: school Q: Could Caleb read? A: yes Q: Did he have grandmother? A: yes Q: What was behind her house? A: a lane Q: where did it lead? A: the pasture Q: Was Caleb skilled at mending? A: unknown Q: What did he notice about the bars? A: they were down Q: Who left them down? A: Caleb Q: Was is careless of My. Raymond leave bars down? A: yes Q: Why was it a bad thing? A: the cattle will get out Q: Did caleb intend to fix the bars? A: yes Q: Why didn't he fix the bars? A: he heard a noise Q: Where was the noise coming from? A: the lane Q: Could he see the noise origin? A: no Q: Did he go search or did he wait? A: he waited

The word pharmacy is derived from its root word pharma which was a term used since the 15th–17th centuries. However, the original Greek roots from pharmakos imply sorcery or even poison. In addition to pharma responsibilities, the pharma offered general medical advice and a range of services that are now performed solely by other specialist practitioners, such as surgery and midwifery. The pharma (as it was referred to) often operated through a retail shop which, in addition to ingredients for medicines, sold tobacco and patent medicines. Often the place that did this was called an apothecary and several languages have this as the dominant term, though their practices are more akin to a modern pharmacy, in English the term apothecary would today be seen as outdated or only approproriate if herbal remedies were on offer to a large extent. The pharmas also used many other herbs not listed. The Greek word Pharmakeia (Greek: φαρμακεία) derives from pharmakon (φάρμακον), meaning "drug", "medicine" (or "poison").[n 1] Q: What does the term pharmakos come from? A: Greek Q: Does it have positive connotations? A: no Q: What does it mean? A: sorcery or even poison Q: What would be the Greek word for drug or medicine? A: pharmakon Q: And what came from that word? A: Pharmakeia Q: When was the term pharma first used? A: 15th century Q: Is that where the term pharmacy came from? A: yes Q: Did pharmas only distribute medicines? A: no Q: What is something else they did? A: offered general medical advice Q: What about for pregnant women? A: midwifery Q: Could you get tobacco at a pharma? A: yes Q: Were they stand alone enterprises? A: yes Q: What is a common name for these stores? A: an apothecary Q: Is that only used in English? A: no Q: What would you compare an apothecary to nowadays? A: pharmacy Q: Is that still a descriptive definition? A: no Q: What would make it so? A: if they sold herbal remedies Q: Did pharmas list all herbs they used? A: no Q: Could I get a patent medicine at a pharma? A: yes Q: What about ingredients for other medicines? A: yes

Conventionally, a computer consists of at least one processing element, typically a central processing unit (CPU), and some form of memory. The processing element carries out arithmetic and logic operations, and a sequencing and control unit can change the order of operations in response to stored information. Peripheral devices allow information to be retrieved from an external source, and the result of operations saved and retrieved. Mechanical analog computers started appearing in the first century and were later used in the medieval era for astronomical calculations. In World War II, mechanical analog computers were used for specialized military applications such as calculating torpedo aiming. During this time the first electronic digital computers were developed. Originally they were the size of a large room, consuming as much power as several hundred modern personal computers (PCs). Modern computers based on integrated circuits are millions to billions of times more capable than the early machines, and occupy a fraction of the space. Computers are small enough to fit into mobile devices, and mobile computers can be powered by small batteries. Personal computers in their various forms are icons of the Information Age and are generally considered as "computers". However, the embedded computers found in many devices from MP3 players to fighter aircraft and from electronic toys to industrial robots are the most numerous. Q: What does CPU stand for?

(CNN) -- Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, facing an international arrest warrant, is paying the price for pandering to the West, al Qaeda's second-in-command said in an audio statement released Tuesday. Ayman al-Zawahiri, seen here in 2007, said Tuesday the Sudanese president pandered to the West. "I am not defending Omar al-Bashir or his regime, nor am I defending what it has done in Darfur and elsewhere," Ayman al-Zawahiri said in the statement released by al Qaeda's production company, as-Sahab Media. But, he said, "the issue isn't one of Darfur and solving its problems; the issue is one of making excuses for more foreign interference in the Muslims' countries in the framework of the contemporary Zionist Crusade." The warrant issued by the International Criminal Court earlier this month accuses al-Bashir of war crimes and crimes against humanity, charges he denies. In response, Sudan ordered 13 international aid groups to leave the country, groups that the United Nations says provide roughly half the assistance delivered in Darfur. "The Bashir regime is reaping what it sowed," al-Zawahiri said. "For many long years, it continued to back down and backtrack in front of American Crusader pressure." He further accused Sudan of expelling members of the mujahedeen who had sought refuge there, particularly Osama bin Laden, and declaring "in an audacious lie that they had left voluntarily, then attempting to beg payment for that from the Saudi regime and the Americans." Al-Zawahiri asked, "Why hasn't the United Nations moved to protect the Palestinians in Gaza from Israeli barbarity and criminality, while it pretends to cry over the suffering of the people of Darfur? Why hasn't the United Nations and the international community intervened to lift the siege from Gaza, while it pretends to cry over the people of Darfur being deprived of relief and aid?" Q: Who issued a warrant? A: the International Criminal Court Q: When? A: earlier in the month Q: Who is named in the warrant? A: Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir Q: What is he accused of? A: pandering to the West Q: Anything else officially in the document? A: war crimes and crimes against humanity Q: Does he agree with the charges? A: no Q: What did Sudan do in response? A: he ordered 13 international aid groups to leave the country Q: How much aid do these groups provide in Darfur? A: roughly half Q: What is al-Qaeda's production company called? A: as-Sahab Media Q: Who is second in command at al-Qaeda? A: Ayman al-Zawahiri Q: What does he accuse Sudan of? A: pandering to the West. Q: Anything else? A: expelling members of the mujahedeen who had sought refuge there Q: anyone in particular? A: Osama bin Laden Q: Who does he want the UN to protect? A: the Palestinians in Gaza Q: From what? A: Israeli barbarity and criminality Q: Is the arrest warrant just a local warrant? A: no Q: What kind is it? A: an international arrest warrant

Python is a widely used high-level programming language for general-purpose programming, created by Guido van Rossum and first released in 1991. An interpreted language, Python has a design philosophy that emphasizes code readability (notably using whitespace indentation to delimit code blocks rather than curly brackets or keywords), and a syntax that allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than might be used in languages such as C++ or Java. The language provides constructs intended to enable writing clear programs on both a small and large scale. Python features a dynamic type system and automatic memory management and supports multiple programming paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, functional programming, and procedural styles. It has a large and comprehensive standard library. Python interpreters are available for many operating systems, allowing Python code to run on a wide variety of systems. CPython, the reference implementation of Python, is open source software and has a community-based development model, as do nearly all of its variant implementations. CPython is managed by the non-profit Python Software Foundation. Python was conceived in the late 1980s, and its implementation began in December 1989 by Guido van Rossum at Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in the Netherlands as a successor to the ABC language (itself inspired by SETL) capable of exception handling and interfacing with the operating system Amoeba. Van Rossum is Python's principal author, and his continuing central role in deciding the direction of Python is reflected in the title given to him by the Python community, "Benevolent Dictator For Life" (BDFL). Q: What was thought of in the eighties? A: Python Q: What year was it implemented? A: 1989 Q: And the month? A: December Q: By whom? A: Guido van Rossum Q: Where at? A: Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica Q: What was it replacing? A: the ABC language Q: When did they initially release it? A: 1991 Q: Does it only cater to an elite few? A: no Q: What did it primarily focus on? A: unknown Q: What did it emphasize? A: code readability Q: An example of this? A: using whitespace indentation Q: Does it take more to create less than other applications? A: fewer Q: What alternative applications does it outdo in that aspect? A: C++ and Java Q: Does it only work in little projects? A: no Q: How many program archetypes does it support? A: multiple Q: An example? A: functional programming Q: Any others? A: procedural Q: Does it only work on one certain OS? A: no Q: Is the library big or little? A: big Q: Who manages the communal version? A: Python Software Foundation.

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN. IN WHICH GLUMM TAKES TO HUNTING ON THE MOUNTAINS FOR CONSOLATION, AND FINDS IT UNEXPECTEDLY, WHILE ALRIC PROVES HIMSELF A HERO. "I go to the fells to-day," said Glumm to Alric one morning, as the latter opened the door of Glummstede and entered the hall. "I go also," said Alric, leaning a stout spear which he carried against the wall, and sitting down on a stool beside the fire to watch Glumm as he equipped himself for the chase. "Art ready, then? for the day is late," said Glumm. "All busked," replied the boy.--"I say, Glumm, is that a new spear thou hast got?" "Aye; I took it from a Swedish viking the last fight I had off the coast. We had a tough job of it, and left one or two stout men behind to glut the birds of Odin, but we brought away much booty. This was part of it," he added, buckling on a long hunting-knife, which was stuck in a richly ornamented sheath, "and that silver tankard too, besides the red mantle that my mother wears, and a few other things--but my comrades got the most of it." "I wish I had been there, Glumm," said Alric. "If Hilda were here, lad, she would say it is wrong to wish to fight." "Hilda has strange thoughts," observed the boy. "So has Erling," remarked his companion. "And so has Ada," said Alric, with a sly glance. Glumm looked up quickly. "What knowest _thou_ about Ada?" said he. Q: Who was Glumm talking to? A: Alric Q: Where did he tell him he was going? A: fells Q: and when was he going there? A: to-day Q: Was Alric going to go also? A: yes Q: What was Alric carrying? A: spear Q: and where did he lean it? A: the wall Q: Did Alric sit down? A: yes Q: Where did he sit? A: on a stool Q: and what was the stool next to? A: the fire Q: Did Glumm have a new spear? A: yes Q: Who had he gotten it from? A: viking Q: during what? A: the last fight Q: Where was the fight? A: off the coast Q: What was the long knife in? A: sheath Q: what else did he get from the fight? A: silver tankard

A teenage boy wielding two kitchen knives went on a stabbing rampage at his high school in Murrysville, Pennsylvania, early Wednesday, before being tackled by an assistant principal, authorities said. Twenty students and a security officer at Franklin Regional Senior High School were either stabbed or slashed in the attack, Westmoreland County District Attorney John Peck told reporters. The accused attacker was been identified as 16-year-old Alex Hribal, according to a criminal complaint made public. Hribal, who was arraigned as an adult, faces four counts of attempted homicide, 21 counts of aggravated assault and one count of possession of a weapon on school grounds, the documents show. "I'm not sure he knows what he did, quite frankly," Hribal's attorney, Patrick Thomassey, said, adding he would file a motion to move the case to juvenile court. "...We have to make sure that he understands the nature of the charges and what's going on here. It's important that he be examined by a psychiatrist and determined where he is mentally." A doctor who treated six of the victims, primarily teens, said at first they did not know they had been stabbed. "They just felt pain and noticed they were bleeding," Dr. Timothy VanFleet, chief of emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, told CNN. "Almost all of them said they didn't see anyone coming at them. It apparently was a crowded hallway and they were going about their business, and then just felt pain and started bleeding." Arguing against bail for Hribal, the district attorney told the court that four of the victims were in critical condition, including one who was "eviscerated." There's a question whether the victim will survive, Peck said. Q: What happened at Franklin Regional Senior High School? A: Twenty students and a security officer were either stabbed or slashed Q: Who gave the reporters that information? A: Westmoreland County District Attorney John Peck Q: Who attacked them? A: Alex Hribal Q: How old is he? A: 16 years old Q: Will he be tried as a minor or an adult? A: an adult Q: What charges is he facing?

(CNN) -- Guatemalan President Alvaro Colom has dismissed an allegation that he was behind the death of a lawyer who left a video blaming the president if anything happened to him. A video with Rodrigo Rosenberg appears on YouTube in which he accuses Guatemala's leader in his death. The lawyer, Rodrigo Rosenberg, was shot and killed Sunday while riding a bicycle in Guatemala City. On Monday, a video surfaced in which Rosenberg -- seated behind a desk and calmly speaking into a microphone -- linked Colom and an aide to his death. "If you are watching this message," Rosenberg said on the video, "it is because I was assassinated by President Alvaro Colom, with help from Gustavo Alejos," the president's private secretary. Rosenberg mentions a third person who he believes would have been involved in his death and also mentions those three people as well as the president's wife in connection with two killings last month. In a broadcast to the nation Monday night, Colom denied any connection. "We categorically reject the accusations that pretend to tie the president, first lady and private secretary as those responsible for this assassination," Colom said. A dated and signed transcript of the video's content indicates Rosenberg made the recording last week. It surfaced Monday after his funeral, and was posted on YouTube and distributed to other media outlets by the newspaper El Periodico de Guatemala. Rosenberg's video said he was targeted for talking about the death of prominent businessman Khalil Musa and his daughter in April. Q: Who's the president of Guatemala?

Los Angeles (CNN) -- A lawyer who filed a teen sex abuse lawsuit against "X-Men" director Bryan Singer said three more "Hollywood types" will be targeted in similar suits soon. Michael Egan, who accuses Singer of sexually abusing him starting when he was 15, appeared with attorney Jeff Herman at a news conference in Beverly Hills on Thursday. "I was a piece of meat," Egan, now 31, told reporters. "There was no relationship." The civil suit filed in U.S. District Court in Hawaii on Wednesday alleged that Singer offered the aspiring teen actor a role in an "X-Men" film if he gave in to his sexual demands, while threatening to destroy his career if he didn't. Singer's representative said the accusations were "completely without merit." "We are very confident that Bryan will be vindicated in this absurd and defamatory lawsuit," Singer's representative said. "It is obvious that this case was filed in an attempt to get publicity at the time when Bryan' s new movie is about to open in a few weeks." Singer is one of Hollywood's most successful directors and producers, having directed two installments of the "X-Men" film franchise and a Superman movie in the past 15 years. His next film, "X-Men: Days of Future Past," is set to hit theaters on May 23. Fox, the studio distributing the X-Men movies, issued a statement about the accusations Thursday. "These are serious allegations, and they will be resolved in the appropriate forum. This is a personal matter, which Bryan Singer and his representatives are addressing separately." Q: Who was accusing another of a crime? A: Michael Q: Last name? A: Egan Q: In what Court? A: U.S. District Court Q: Of what State? A: Hawaii Q: Who was being accused?

Publius (or Gaius) Cornelius Tacitus (; ; – ) was a senator and a historian of the Roman Empire. The surviving portions of his two major works—the "Annals" and the "Histories"—examine the reigns of the Roman emperors Tiberius, Claudius, Nero, and those who reigned in the Year of the Four Emperors (69 AD). These two works span the history of the Roman Empire from the death of Augustus, in 14 AD, to the years of the First Jewish–Roman War, in 70 AD. There are substantial lacunae in the surviving texts, including a gap in the "Annals" that is four books long. Tacitus' other writings discuss oratory (in dialogue format, see "Dialogus de oratoribus"), Germania (in "De origine et situ Germanorum"), and the life of his father-in-law, Agricola, the Roman general responsible for much of the Roman conquest of Britain, mainly focusing on his campaign in Britannia ("De vita et moribus Iulii Agricolae"). Tacitus is considered to be one of the greatest Roman historians. He lived in what has been called the Silver Age of Latin literature, and is known for the brevity and compactness of his Latin prose, as well as for his penetrating insights into the psychology of power politics. Q: Who is one of the best Roman historians? A: Tacitus Q: What did he give insight about? A: power politics Q: What aspect of it? A: psychology Q: What language did he write in? A: Latin Q: Was he a politician? A: yes Q: What office did he hold? A: he was a senator Q: How many big works did he have? A: two Q: What are the names? A: the "Annals" and the "Histories" Q: When was The Year of the Four Emperors? A: 69 AD Q: Who is Tiberius? A: a Roman emperor Q: Who is Claudius? A: a Roman emperor Q: When did Augustus die? A: 14 AD Q: What happened in 70 AD? A: First Jewish–Roman War Q: Who is Nero? A: A Roman emperor Q: Who is Tacitus' father in law? A: Agricola Q: What was his job? A: the Roman general Q: What is he known for? A: the Roman conquest of Britain Q: Did Tacitus write about him? A: yes Q: What age did he live in? A: Silver Age of Latin literature Q: Did he write long works? A: no

CHAPTER XXIII A RUN IN THE DARK Both girls were thoroughly alarmed by the unexpected appearance of Dan Baxter and his companion and brought their horses to a standstill. "How do you do, Miss Stanhope?" said Baxter, with a grin. "What are you doing here?" demanded Dora, icily. "Oh, nothing much." "Do you know that that is the Rovers' houseboat?" "Is it?" said Baxter, in pretended surprise. "Yes." "No, I didn't know it." Baxter turned to Nellie. "How are you, Miss Laning? I suppose you are surprised to meet me out here." "I am," was Nellie's short answer. Both girls wished themselves somewhere else. "My friend and I were walking down the river when we heard a man on that houseboat calling for help," went on Dan Baxter, glibly. "We went on board and found the captain had fallen down and hurt himself very much. Do you know anything about him?" "Why, yes!" said Dora, quickly. "It must be Captain Starr!" she added, to Nellie. "He's in a bad way. If you know him, you had better look after him," continued Dan Baxter. "I will," and Dora leaped to the ground, followed by Nellie. Both ran towards the houseboat, but at the gang plank they paused. "I--I think I'll go back and get Dick Rover," said Dora. She did not like the look in Dan Baxter's eyes. "Yes, and Tom," put in Nellie. "You shan't go back," roared Dan Baxter. "Go on and help the poor captain." His manner was so rude that Nellie gave a short, sharp scream--one which reached Tom's ears, as already recorded. Q: Is someone hurt? A: Yes. Q: Who? A: Captain Starr Q: What is he the captain of? A: The Rovers' houseboat. Q: Who discovered he was injured? A: Dan Baxter and his friend. Q: How did they know something was wrong? A: They heard him calling for help. Q: Did they go onto the boat? A: Yes. Q: How did they say he got injured? A: He had fallen down. Q: Who are they telling this to? A: Nellie and Dora. Q: What were they doing before they saw the men? A: Riding on their horses. Q: Why did they stop? A: The unexpected appearance of Dan Baxter and his companion Q: Who speaks first? A: Baxter Q: Who does he speak to? A: Miss Stanhope Q: Are they girls happy to speak with them? A: No. Q: Did they get off their horses? A: Yes. Q: Why? A: To see about Captain Starr. Q: Did they stop before they go on the boat? A: Yes. Q: Why? A: Dora decided to go get Dick Rover. Q: Why did Nellie yell? A: Dan's manner was so rude. Q: Who stops her from going back? A: Dan Baxter. Q: Did anyone hear her yell? A: Yes.

CHAPTER XIV WILLIAM BENT PITMAN HEARS OF SOMETHING TO HIS ADVANTAGE On the morning of Sunday, William Dent Pitman rose at his usual hour, although with something more than the usual reluctance. The day before (it should be explained) an addition had been made to his family in the person of a lodger. Michael Finsbury had acted sponsor in the business, and guaranteed the weekly bill; on the other hand, no doubt with a spice of his prevailing jocularity, he had drawn a depressing portrait of the lodger's character. Mr. Pitman had been led to understand his guest was not good company; he had approached the gentleman with fear, and had rejoiced to find himself the entertainer of an angel. At tea he had been vastly pleased; till hard on one in the morning he had sat entranced by eloquence and progressively fortified with information in the studio; and now, as he reviewed over his toilet the harmless pleasures of the evening, the future smiled upon him with revived attractions. "Mr. Finsbury is indeed an acquisition," he remarked to himself; and as he entered the little parlour, where the table was already laid for breakfast, the cordiality of his greeting would have befitted an acquaintanceship already old. "I am delighted to see you, sir"--these were his expressions--"and I trust you have slept well." "Accustomed as I have been for so long to a life of almost perpetual change," replied the guest, "the disturbance so often complained of by the more sedentary, as attending their first night in (what is called) a new bed, is a complaint from which I am entirely free." Q: what happened the day before? A: an addition had been made Q: what did Pitman think about the lodger? A: more than the usual reluctance. Q: did he change his mind about him? A: yes Q: what is the story about? A: WILLIAM BENT PITMAN HEARS OF SOMETHING TO HIS ADVANTAGE Q: what day does it take place? A: Sunday Q: did he wake up at usual time? A: yes Q: what was different this morning? A: more than the usual reluctance. Q: what did he say to himself about Finsbury? A: Mr. Finsbury is indeed an acquisition, Q: what was on the table when he entered? A: breakfast Q: what room was this in? A: the little parlour,

Paul and Jason were brothers who lived and worked on neighbouring farms.For 35 years they farmed side by side,sharing machinery and goods as needed,without a single problem. However,one autumn,things changed.It began with a tiny disagreement about a horse,which grew into a major difference.The difference led to angry words,followed by weeks of silence between the two brothers. One morning there was a knock on Paul's door.He opened it and saw a builder holding his toolbox."I'm looking for a few days'work,"the builder said."Are there any jobs here I could help with?" "Yes,"answered Paul,extremely pleased to see the builder."I do have a job for you.Look at that farm across the creek .That's my brother's farm.That creek used to be a grass field,but last week my brother dug a path from the fiver and made the creek.But I'll _ .See that pile of wood?1 want you to build me a fence,two metres tall,so 1 won't need to see him anymore." The builder said thoughtfully."I think I understand the situation and I'll be able to do a job that pleases you." Paul had business in town that day and left the builder to his work.When he returned,the builder had just finished his job.Paul was shocked.Instead of a fence there was a bridge,stretching from one side of the creek to the other. As Paul stood on the bridge,staring in amazement,his younger brother Jason,came across,and took Paul's hand."You are a good man to have built this bridge after a11 I've done,"said Jason. Then,Paul,with tears in his eyes,said to the builder who was packing his bag to go,"Thank you so much. Please stay.I have much more for you to do." "I'd love to."the builder said quietly,"but,I have many more bridges to build." Q: Were Paul and Jason lovers? A: no Q: What were they? A: brothers Q: When did things change?

West Yorkshire is a metropolitan county in England. It is an inland and in relative terms upland county having eastward-draining valleys while taking in moors of the Pennines and has a population of 2.2 million. West Yorkshire came into existence as a metropolitan county in 1974 after the passage of the Local Government Act 1972. West Yorkshire consists of five metropolitan boroughs (City of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, City of Leeds and City of Wakefield) and shares borders with the counties of Derbyshire (briefly to the south), Greater Manchester (to the south-west), Lancashire (to the north-west), North Yorkshire (to the north and east) and South Yorkshire (to the south and south-east). Leeds, informally, is the capital of West Yorkshire, Leeds (city) has developed into the third biggest in the UK by population after London and Birmingham, York is the Capital of Yorkshire, the Leeds-Bradford Metropolitan County has grown to become the 4th largest in the UK after Greater London, West Midlands (Birmingham) and Greater Manchester with a population over 2.2 million. Remnants of a strong industrialisation in coal, wool and iron ore industries remain in the county having attracted people over the centuries, and this can be seen the buildings and architecture. The greatest hub Leeds may become a terminus for a north-east limb of High Speed 2. Major railways and three major motorways traverse the county. In the heart of the county is Leeds Bradford International Airport. Q: Is West Yorkshire an inland or upland county? A: It is both. Q: Where is it located? A: England Q: Do the valleys drain to the west? A: No. Q: How many boroughs? A: five Q: Are there more than a million people there? A: Yes. Q: How many? A: 2.2 million Q: When was it created? A: 1974 Q: After what happened? A: The passage of the Local Government Act 1972. Q: How large is the capital? A: unknown Q: What resources have drawn people there? A: informally,

CHAPTER XXI. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST In the search for a new abode Mrs. Lee was in much difficulty, for it was needful to be near St. Kenelm's, and the only vacant houses within her means were not desirable for the reception of a feeble convalescent; moreover, Mr. Gudgeon grumbled and inquired, and was only withheld by warnings enhanced by the police from carrying the whole charivari of the Salvation Army along Ivinghoe Terrace on Sunday afternoon. Perhaps it was this, perhaps it was the fact of having discussed the situation with the two Miss Mohuns, that made Mr. White say to Alexis, 'There are two rooms ready for your sister, as soon as Dagger says she can be moved safely. The person who nurses her had better come with her, and you may as well come back to your old quarters.' Alexis could hardly believe his ears, but Mr. White waved off all thanks. The Mohun sisters were delighted and triumphant, and Jane came down to talk it over with her elder sister, auguring great things from that man who loved to deal in surprises. 'That is true,' said Sir Jasper. 'What does that mean, Jasper?' said his wife. 'It sounds significant.' 'I certainly should not be amazed if he did further surprise us all. Has it never struck you how that noontide turn of Adeline's corresponds with his walk home from the reading-room?' Lady Merrifield looked rather startled, but Jane only laughed, and said, 'My dear Jasper, if you only knew Ada as well as I do! Yes, I have seen far too many of those little affairs to be taken in by them. Poor Ada! I know exactly how she looks, but she is only flattered, like a pussy-cat waggling the end of its tail---it means nothing, and never comes to anything. The thing that is likely and hopeful is, that he may adopt those young people as nephews and nieces.' Q: Who is looking for something? A: Mrs. Lee Q: What is it? A: a new abode Q: Is it going easily? A: No Q: Where did she need it to be? A: near St. Kenelm's, Q: Could she afford anything there? A: Yes Q: Did she like them? A: No Q: Who is giving her a hard time? A: Mr. Gudgeon Q: Who prevents him from being more obnoxious? A: the police Q: With what? A: warnings Q: What does someone say to Alexis because of this? A: There are two rooms ready for your sister Q: Who says it? A: Mr. White Q: When can they have them? A: as soon as Dagger says she can be moved safely Q: Who else should come? A: The person who nurses her Q: Was this a surprise? A: Yes Q: What about the sisters? A: Yes

Recently, a small group of birdwatchers spent three weeks around Mount Vernon. They were busy counting wild birds on Mount Vernon's wetlands, south of Washington, D.C. They began in the middle of December and worked until the beginning of January, 2015. The birdwatchers were among 70,000 volunteers who collected information for the National Audubon Society, a U.S. conservation group. They counted birds in more than 2,400 areas in the United States, Canada, the Caribbean Sea and other parts of the Americas. The Audubon Society's first "Christmas Bird Count" took place 115 years ago in 1900. At that time, a man named Frank Chapman suggested a new Christmas tradition that people count birds instead of shooting them around the holiday. Harry Glasgow has taken part in the Christmas Bird Count for the past 10 years. This year, he was one of the volunteer birdwatchers at Mount Vernon. "I think it's a tremendous use of a lot of unofficial talent around the nation to keep track of birds. Birds are one of the surest indicators of the health of ecology." Last year, the bird count recorded over 66 million birds of 2,403 different species. Gary Langham is chief scientist with the National Audubon Society. "The Audubon climate report says that half the birds in North America -- 314 out of 588 species -- are seriously threatened by climate change. The impacts sort of cut across all birds, all sizes, all kinds, all places." Information from the bird counts has shown that birds are staying farther north during the winter months because of warmer weather. Birdwatcher Jaime Reidy has noted the difference close to Washington, in the state of Virginia. "You get to see them at odd times of the year, a little earlier, staying a little later." Gary Langham says other conditions are affecting bird populations. "You can imagine the birds that live along the beach or along the rocky shore line as sea levels are rising around the world. That is impacting them, you know." David Yarnold is president of the Audubon Society. In his words, "Christmas Bird Count data is becoming important not only in documenting current climate change, but in predicting the future effects of climate change on North American bird populations. If we know what to expect, we can start taking actions now to do something about it." Q: Who were people volunteering for? A: National Audubon Society, Q: What were they doing? A: Counted birds. Q: In how many parts of the U.S.? A: More than 2,400. Q: Any other countries? A: Yes. Q: Does this counting event have a name? A: Yes. Q: What? A: "Christmas Bird Count" Q: Who's idea was it? A: Frank Chapman. Q: What year did it start? A: 1900. Q: What is the information used for? A: Keep track of birds. Q: Can it help with understanding climate change? A: Yes. Q: Who says it can help? A: Gary Langham. Q: Who is he? A: Chief scientist. Q: Where does he work? A: National Audubon Society. Q: How long has Harry Glasgow helped out? A: 10 years. Q: Where did he go this year? A: Mount Vernon. Q: What month did they start? A: December Q: When did they stop? A: Beginning of January. Q: Was he part of a group? A: Yes. Q: How many birds were counted the previous year? A: Over 66 million. Q: What portion of North American birds have a problem with climate change? A: Half.

Henry woke up one morning and looked out his window. To his surprise the ground was covered in white. He quickly ran downstairs and asked his mommy what the white stuff was. She told him with a smile that it was snow. Henry was not sure what snow was, but got excited when she told him that it meant that he did not have to go to school that day. Henry asked his mom if he could play in snow and she told him yes. She got him dressed in warm clothes and took him outside and taught him how to build a snowman. She also taught him how to sled down the small hill in their yard. Henry had so much fun that day he fell asleep early and had dreams about the fun white snow that fell that day hoping he could have fun the next day as well. Q: What did Henry see when he looked out the window? A: snow Q: Did he know what it was? A: no Q: Who told him what it was? A: his mommy Q: Was he happy about it? A: yes Q: Why? A: he didn't have to go to school Q: Did Henry's mother let him go outside? A: yes Q: What did she teach him how to make? A: a snowman Q: What else did she show him how to do? A: how to sled down the hill Q: Did Henry stay up late that night? A: no Q: What did he dream about? A: snow

What can you do on the Internet? Many of us like to read the news, buy things and play games. Some students now have a new use for the Internet - helping them with their homework. Tina, 14, from Shenzhen, Guangdong, often searches online for the answers to her math problems. She said sometimes she and even her parents don't know the answers to the problems, so she has to turn to the Internet. "I can see how other people work out these problems and learn from them," Tina said. "It's easy and saves time." But not all the students welcome this. Leo, 15, from Hangzhou, Zhejiang, thinks it may make students stop thinking. "We should think over the problems first. Simply copying the answers won't improve our abilities. " he said. In the eyes of Wang Zhaoming, a Shanghai teacher, the success of all this is down to the students. If they use the Internet properly , it could be a good tool for study, Wang said. "Students should first think about the problems by themselves. As for the online answers, they should choose the best among different ones. The most important thing is to know the logic behind the answers," he said. "Don't be shy to ask teachers and classmates the next day if you don't understand the answer." Q: According to the story, what does Tina look for on the internet? A: answers to her math problems Q: Where is she from? A: Shenzhen, Guangdong Q: How old is she? A: 14 Q: Does Leo agree it is ok for her to get help this way? A: no Q: Why? A: he thinks it may make students stop thinking Q: Would Wang Zhaoming be angry with them for this? A: no Q: What should they do first? A: think about the problems by themselves Q: Will all of the solutions be the same? A: no Q: Will it make them lazy? A: possibly Q: Is there anywhere else to get help? A: yes Q: Where? A: teachers and classmates

CHAPTER XVIII ROCHESTER'S ULTIMATUM The Park into which they turned was almost deserted. Pauline stopped the carriage and got out. "Come and walk with me a little way," she said to Rochester. "We will go and sit amongst that wilderness of empty chairs. I want to talk. I must talk to someone. We shall be quite alone there." Rochester walked by her side, puzzled. He had never seen her like this. "I suppose I am hysterical," she said, clutching at his arm for a moment as they passed along the walk. "There, even that does me good. It's good to feel--oh, I don't know what I'm talking about!" she exclaimed. "Where have you been this afternoon?" he asked gravely. "To hear that awful man Naudheim," she answered. "Henry, I wish I'd never been. I wish to Heaven you'd never asked Bertrand Saton to Beauleys." Rochester's face grew darker. "I wish I'd wrung the fellow's neck the first day I saw him," he declared, bitterly. "But after all, Pauline, you don't take this sort of person seriously?" "I wish I didn't," she answered. "He's an infernal charlatan," Rochester declared. "I'm convinced of it, and I mean to expose him." She shook her head. "You can call him what you like," she said, "but there is Naudheim behind him. There is no one in Europe who would dare to call Naudheim a charlatan." "He is a wonderful man, but he is mad," Rochester said. "No, he is not mad," she said. "It is we who are mad, to listen a little, to think a little, to play a little with the thoughts he gives us." Q: Who was beside someone A: Rochester Q: where did they go? A: Amongst that wilderness of empty chairs. Q: was something stopped? A: Yes Q: what? A: The carriage Q: did rochesters face change? A: unknown

London (CNN) -- It's a scene straight out of Cinderella: a princess in her royal wedding dress, riding in a horse-drawn carriage through majestic streets. That's just what Kate Middleton may look like on her wedding day next month. Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday that a century-old gold-trimmed royal carriage will carry the new princess and her prince, William, from Westminster Abbey through central London to the palace. The same carriage -- called the 1902 State Landau -- has carried previous royal brides on their wedding days. William's mother, Lady Diana Spencer, rode in it in 1981 after her marriage to Prince Charles, and Sarah Ferguson traveled in it five years later after she wed Prince Andrew. It was specifically built for King Edward VII in 1902 to be used at his coronation, and it remains the most-used carriage in the Royal Mews, usually used these days by Queen Elizabeth II when she meets foreign heads of state. It is an open-top carriage, so if it rains, the new royal couple will instead travel in the enclosed Glass Coach, another historic carriage, the palace announced. The Glass Coach was built in 1881 and purchased for use at King George V's coronation in 1911. Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson used it on their way to their weddings, along with three other brides: Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon, who married the future King George VI in 1923; Princess Alexandra in 1963; and Princess Anne in 1973. The wedding procession will take in some of central London's most famous sights. After leaving the abbey, it will pass the Houses of Parliament and Big Ben, the prime minister's residence at Downing Street, the Horse Guards Parade and the Mall: the long avenue that stretches from Trafalgar Square past St. James's Park, straight to Buckingham Palace. Q: Which coach carried William's father? A: unknown Q: When was the Glass Coach built? A: 1881 Q: Who's mum traveled in it when she got married. A: William, Q: Who is his dad? A: Prince Charles Q: What's his mom's title? A: Princess Diana Q: Who is he marrying? A: Kate Middleton Q: When will they marry? A: unknown Q: What is their route?

A: 1911 Q: Who did Bowes-Lyon marry? A: King George VI Q: When? A: 1911

(CNN) -- A man has admitted he killed his uncle's 6-year-old stepdaughter, whose body was found in a Louisiana trash can this week, a spokesman for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office said Wednesday. Matthew Flugence admitted to detectives Wednesday morning that he stabbed Ahlittia North, a girl he previously babysat, over the weekend, Col. John Fortunato said. Flugence, 20, was arrested in the case on Tuesday, the day authorities found Ahlittia's body in a trash can down the street from her mother and stepfather's apartment in the New Orleans suburb of Harvey. Flugence, who had an outstanding warrant charging him with sexually assaulting an 11-year-old girl last year, has been charged with murder in Ahlittia's death, Fortunato said. "I don't know what I else I can say about the character of an individual that just admitted to killing a 6-year-old," Sheriff Newell Normand told reporters Wednesday morning when asked about Flugence's background. "I think that speaks for itself." Flugence's brother Russell, 21, was arrested on suspicion of obstructing justice in Ahlittia's death, Normand said earlier this week. Russell Flugence had information about the crime that he didn't come forward with, and he also had information implicating his brother, the sheriff asserted. Matthew Flugence told investigators that he killed Ahlittia after finding her early Saturday outside the Harvey apartment where her mother and her stepfather -- Flugence's uncle -- lived, Normand said Wednesday. "(Flugence's) story is (that) in the early morning hours ... he happened to see her out and about, and he was out and about, walking through the neighborhood," Normand said.

An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element. Alloys are defined by metallic bonding character. An alloy may be a solid solution of metal elements (a single phase) or a mixture of metallic phases (two or more solutions). Intermetallic compounds are alloys with a defined stoichiometry and crystal structure. Zintl phases are also sometimes considered alloys depending on bond types (see also: Van Arkel-Ketelaar triangle for information on classifying bonding in binary compounds). An alloy is a mixture of either pure or fairly pure chemical elements, which forms an impure substance (admixture) that retains the characteristics of a metal. An alloy is distinct from an impure metal, such as wrought iron, in that, with an alloy, the added impurities are usually desirable and will typically have some useful benefit. Alloys are made by mixing two or more elements; at least one of which being a metal. This is usually called the primary metal or the base metal, and the name of this metal may also be the name of the alloy. The other constituents may or may not be metals but, when mixed with the molten base, they will be soluble, dissolving into the mixture. Q: What is an alloy? A: a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element Q: are they pure? A: yes or fairly pure Q: and what does that form? A: an impure substance Q: Is there another name for it? A: admixture Q: is it a solid? A: it can be Q: When are two or more solutions used? A: to make alloys Q: What happens in the single phase? A: it's a solid solution of metal elements Q: Are the added impurities desirable? A: usually Q: any benefit? A: yes, some Q: What is a primary metal? A: a base metal Q: What could its name be of/ A: the name of the alloy Q: Do the others need to be metal? A: no Q: are they soluble? A: when mixed with the molten base, yes Q: what do they dissolve into? A: the mixture Q: is primary and base metal the same? A: yes Q: Does one element have to be metal to make and alloy? A: yes Q: Is wrought iron and impure metal? A: yes

A university graduate described as a "respectable and intelligent" woman is seeking professional help after being convicted of (......)shoplifting for the second time in six months. Ana Luz, recently studying for her Phd, has been told she could end up behind bars unless she can control the desire to steal from shops . Luz ,who lives with her partner in Fitzwilliam Road ,Cambridge ,admitted stealing clothes worth PS9.95 from John Lewis in Oxford Street ,London ,on March 9. Phillip Lemoyne ,prosecuting ,said Luz selected some clothes from a display and took them to the ladies' toilet in the store .When she came out again she was wearing one of the skirts she had selected ,having taken off the anti-theft security alarms . She was stopped and caught after leaving the store without paying , Mr. Lemoyne said. He added that she was upset on her arrest and apologized for her actions. Luz,28, was said to have been convicted of shoplifting by Cambridge judges last October ,but Morag Duff, defending ,said she had never been in trouble with the police before that . "She is ashamed and embarrassed but doesn't really have any explanation why she did this ," Miss Duff said . "She didn't intend to steal when she went into the store . _ She is otherwise a very respectable and intelligent young lady .She went to her doctor and asked for advice because she wants to know if there is anything in particular that caused her to do this." Judge David Azan fined Luz PS 50, and warned : "You've got a criminal record .If you carry on like this ,you will end up in prison ,which will ruin your bright future you may have." Luz achieved a degree in design at university in her native Spain ,went on to a famous university in Berlin , Germany for her master's degree and is now studying for a PhD at Cambridge University ,UK. Q: What did Ana Luz do illegally? A: shoplifting Q: Was she studying for something? A: her Phd Q: What Country does she live in? A: Cambridge Q: Does she live alone?

A biblical canon or canon of scripture is a set of texts (or "books") which a particular religious community regards as authoritative scripture. The English word "canon" comes from the Greek κανών, meaning "rule" or "measuring stick". Christians became the first to use the term in reference to scripture, but Eugene Ulrich regards the idea as Jewish. Most of the canons listed below are considered "closed" (i.e., books cannot be added or removed), reflecting a belief that public revelation has ended and thus some person or persons can gather approved inspired texts into a complete and authoritative canon, which scholar Bruce Metzger defines as "an authoritative collection of books". In contrast, an "open canon", which permits the addition of books through the process of continuous revelation, Metzger defines as "a collection of authoritative books". These canons have developed through debate (canonology) and agreement on the part of the religious authorities of their respective faiths and denominations. Believers consider canonical books as inspired by God or as expressive of the authoritative history of the relationship between God and his people. Some books such as the Jewish-Christian gospels, have been excluded from various canons altogether, but many disputed books—considered non-canonical or even apocryphal by some—are considered to be Biblical apocrypha or Deuterocanonical or fully canonical by others. Differences exist between the Jewish Tanakh and Christian biblical canons, although the Jewish Tanakh did form the basis for the Christian Old Testament, and between the canons of different Christian denominations. The differing criteria and processes of canonization dictate what the various communities regard as inspired scripture. In some cases where varying strata of scriptural inspiration have accumulated, it becomes prudent to discuss texts that only have an elevated status within a particular tradition. This becomes even more complex when considering the open canons of the various Latter Day Saint sects—which one may view as extensions of Christianity (and thus of Judaism)—and the scriptural revelations purportedly given to several leaders over the years within that movement. Q: Where does the English word Canon come from? A: the Greek κανών Q: What have the caonons developed through? A: debate Q: How does Bruce Metzger define an Authoritive canon? A: an authoritative collection of books Q: What does an open cannon permit? A: the addition of books Q: How does Metzger define an open canon? A: a collection of authoritative books Q: Are there differences in the Jewish Tanakh and Christian biblical canons? A: yes Q: What is the definition of the greek word canon comes from? A: rule Q: Where does it become prudent to discuss texts that only have an elevated status within a particular tradition? A: cases where varying strata of scriptural inspiration have accumulated Q: Did the Jewish Tanakh for the basis for the Christian Old Testament? A: yes Q: What group became the first to use the term? A: Christians

CHAPTER IV Elizabeth paused for breath at the top of the third flight of stairs. She leaned against the iron balustrade. "You poor dear!" she exclaimed. "How many times a day did you have to do this?" "I didn't go out very often," he reminded her, "and it wasn't every day that the lift was out of order. It's only one more flight." She looked up the stairs, sighed, and raised her smart, grey, tailor-made skirt a little higher over her shoes. "Well," she announced heroically, "lead on. If they would sometimes dust these steps--but, after all, it doesn't matter to you now, does it? Fancy that poor girl, though." He smiled a little grimly. "A few flights of stairs aren't the worst things she has had to face, I'm afraid," he said. "I am rather terrified of her," Elizabeth confided, supporting herself by her companion's shoulder. "I think I know that ultra-independent type. Kick me if I put my foot in it. Is this the door?" Philip nodded and knocked softly. There was a sharp "Come in!" "Put the key down, please," the figure at the typewriter said, as they entered. The words had scarcely left Martha's lips before she turned around, conscious of some other influence in the room. Philip stepped forward. "Miss Grimes," he said, "I have brought Miss Dalstan in to see you. She wants--" He paused. Something in the stony expression of the girl who had risen to her feet and stood now facing them, her ashen paleness unrelieved by any note of colour, her hands hanging in front of her patched and shabby frock, seemed to check the words upon his lips.

BriGette McCoy described how she was raped on her first military assignment, two weeks before her 19th birthday. She described how, later that year, she was raped by another soldier in her unit. Then came sexual harassment by two officers -- including one who requested that she be moved to work directly for him, she said Wednesday. Testifying before lawmakers, the former Army specialist described the "anguish" and "entrapment" she felt, and the horror of the ordeal that followed. "I no longer have any faith or hope that the military chain of command will consistently prosecute, convict, sentence and carry out the sentencing of sexual predators in uniform without absconding justice somehow," she told the Senate Armed Services Committee's subcommittee on personnel. "It even starts at recruitment," she said. "We have quite a few of our men and women that are being raped and sexually harassed during the recruitment process." McCoy was one of four alleged victims who testified Wednesday about a problem the military has acknowledged. About 19,000 men and women suffer sexual assault each year in the military, former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said, though he noted that only about 3,200 assaults were reported. About 10,700 of those cases -- 56% -- involved male victims in 2010, based on anonymous reporting collected by the military. In painful, dramatic testimony, three women and one man, all of whom have left the military, described their suffering -- and explained why, in some cases, they never filed reports. They helped paint a picture of the military as a place where victims are often pressured to remain quiet or endure having their reputations and careers tarnished for coming forward. Q: Who was testifying? A: BriGette McCoy Q: Where was she? A: Testifying before lawmakers Q: Where? A: Senate Armed Services Committee's subcommittee on personnel Q: Why was she testifying? A: Unknown Q: How many people testified? A: four Q: How old was she the first time she was raped? A: 18 Q: How many assaults are there each year? A: 19,000 Q: Are they all reported? A: No Q: How many are ? A: 3,200 Q: Did anyone explain why so many are not reported? A: Yes Q: Why? A: They helped paint a picture of the military as a place where victims are often pressured to remain quiet or endure having their reputations and careers tarnished for coming forward. Q: Are any of the witnesses still in the military? A: No

CNN -- South Korea midfielder Park Ji-Sung has made history by becoming the first player from his homeland to figure in the Champions League final, Europe's premier club match. Park's opening goal in the semifinal second leg against Arsenal set the tone for United's return to the final. However, his starting role in the match won't be one he'll remember with great fondness. His Manchester United side were outplayed as they lost 2-0 to Spanish side FC Barcelona. Profile: Park Ji-Sung Still, the loss can't take away from what was a great season for the South Korean. Park was a key player for United throughout their European campaign this season, even scoring in his side's 3-0 second-leg win over Arsenal which sealed their passage to the final. Last year Park was a star player in the Red Devil's semifinal second-leg defeat of Barcelona before Alex Ferguson left him out of his entire squad for the final in Moscow against Chelsea. Park Ji-Sung speaks to CNN » It is a memory that Park told CNN he was keen to banish: "It would be amazing to me (to play) as I missed out last season. I believed I would get there again but never thought it would be so soon. Hopefully, this time I will be there." Park attracts large audiences in South Korea where there is a large fan base for the club, a fact that has prompted Manchester United to travel to the capital Seoul in July as part of a close-season tour. Q: Does the loss take away from the great season? A: No Q: Who had the great season? A: Park Ji-Sung Q: Who was a key player? A: Park Q: What nationality is he? A: South Korean Q: Did he make history in some way? A: Yes Q: What did he become? A: the first player from his homeland to figure in the Champions League final Q: Is that a premier club match? A: Yes Q: For what continent? A: Europe Q: Who was Park's team playing against? A: Arsenal Q: What team is he a member of? A: United Q: What did his opening goal set? A: the tone Q: Who did Park play for last year? A: Red Devils Q: Who left him out of something? A: Alex Ferguson Q: Where? A: Moscow Q: Against which football club? A: Chelsea. Q: What news organization is Park giving an interview to? A: CNN Q: Did he feel as though he missed out last season in some way? A: Yes Q: Does he attract bigger or smaller audiences in South Korea?

A: Yes

When your pet meets your infant ,it might not be love at first sniff. When Jennifer brought her baby home from the hospital, her cherished dogs had very different reactions. Her Boxer, Sonya, was immediately gentle and protective. But Tiger, the Pomeranian, was less welcoming. "If any diapers or toys were on the floor, he peed on them," says the Greenbrier, mom. In the eyes of a pet, there's a new star in home who's stealing his spotlight. Even the gentlest animal will probably act up if he doesn't get his usual attention. These simple steps will help your pet adjust and keep your baby safe. Introduce Them with Care Your newborn and per's first encounter can set the tone for their relationship. To make it as smooth as possible, try this trick from Caryn Ruiz:"Before we left the hospital, my husband took blankets home to our dog, Daisy, so she'd know our newborn Devon's smell." When you get home, have your husband carry the baby so you can greet your pet without worrying about her jumping on you. A cat will likely walk away at first, while a dog probably wants to investigate right away. To introduce your baby, get down on your pet's level and let her have a hello sniff. Don't panic and pull your baby away unless your pet is barking or hissing, because it'll send the message that the baby is a threat. Learn the Safety Basics No matter how smoothly the introduction goes, there are certain safety rules you should follow. Never leave your baby alone with the pet. Even the gentlest animal can react unpredictably. Your baby's crying could frighten your cat, or your dog could suddenly become territorial. Consider setting up baby gates to limit your pet's access. To keep your cat from jumping into the bassinet , try putting mosquito netting over the top. Cats hate sticky paws, so keep the crib and changing table off-limits by lining the edges with sticky strips made for furniture. You can also train your dog to sleep in a crate . Q: Do animals always love the babies first A: no Q: Who had a baby A: Jennifer Q: How many dogs does she have A: two Q: Who was kind and on guard A: Her Boxer, Sonya Q: How did the other react A: Tiger, the Pomeranian, was less welcoming. Q: What did he do A: something gross I wont say Q: What is the first step for introducing the baby and pet A: get down on your pet's level and let her have a hello sniff. Q: What trick did caryn use A: took blankets home to our dog, Daisy, so she'd know our newborn Devon's smell.

Passage 1 The information Highway is the road that links computer users to a large number of on-line services; the Web, e-mail, and software, to mention just a few. Not long ago, the information Highway was a new road, with not many users. Now, everyone seems to want to take a drive, with over 30 million families connected worldwide. Not surprisingly, this well-traveled highway is starting to look like a well-traveled highway. Traffic jams can cause many serious problems, forcing the system to close down for repair. Naturally, accidents will happen on such a crowed road, and usually victims are some files, gone forever. Then, of course, there's Mr. Cool, with his new broad-band connection, who speeds down the highway faster than most of us can go. But don't trick yourself; he pays for that speeding. Passage 2 Want to know more about global warming and how you can help prevent it? Doctor Herman Friedman, who is considered a leading expert on the subject, will speak at Grayson Hall next Friday. Friedman studied environmental science at three well-known universities around the world before becoming a professor in the subject. He has also traveled around the world observing environmental concerns. The gradual bleaching of the Grate Barrier Reef, which came into the public eye in 2002, in his latest interest. Signed copies of his colorful book, which was published just last month, will be on sale after his talk. Q: Who is Doctor Friedman? A: a leading expert on global warming Q: What is his first name? A: Herman Q: Where is he speaking? A: Grayson Hall Q: When? A: next Friday Q: Where has he studied? A: three universities

Leonhard Euler ( ; ; ; 15 April 170718 September 1783) was a Swiss mathematician, physicist, astronomer, logician and engineer who made important and influential discoveries in many branches of mathematics like infinitesimal calculus and graph theory while also making pioneering contributions to several branches such as topology and analytic number theory. He also introduced much of the modern mathematical terminology and notation, particularly for mathematical analysis, such as the notion of a mathematical function. He is also known for his work in mechanics, fluid dynamics, optics, astronomy, and music theory. Euler was one of the most eminent mathematicians of the 18th century, and is held to be one of the greatest in history. He is also widely considered to be the most prolific mathematician of all time. His collected works fill 60 to 80 quarto volumes, more than anybody in the field. He spent most of his adult life in Saint Petersburg, Russia, and in Berlin, then the capital of Prussia. A statement attributed to Pierre-Simon Laplace expresses Euler's influence on mathematics: "Read Euler, read Euler, he is the master of us all." Leonhard Euler was born on 15 April 1707, in Basel, Switzerland to Paul III Euler, a pastor of the Reformed Church, and Marguerite Brucker, a pastor's daughter. He had two younger sisters: Anna Maria and Maria Magdalena, and a younger brother Johann Heinrich. Soon after the birth of Leonhard, the Eulers moved from Basel to the town of Riehen, where Euler spent most of his childhood. Paul Euler was a friend of the Bernoulli family; Johann Bernoulli was then regarded as Europe's foremost mathematician, and would eventually be the most important influence on young Leonhard.

There was once a frog who lived all the way in the North Pole. His name was Isaac. He worked at Santa's factory, baking cakes with lots of frosting. He didn't like making cake much. In fact, Isaac's dream was to work in the factory with the elves making toys. But since he was a frog, he was never allowed to build toys with the elves. One day, he got a smart idea. He would dress up as an elf and sneak into the factory, hoping no one would find out. So he got a hold of an elf costume and put it on. He put on the elf hat, the elf shirt, and the elf shoes. He really looked like an elf! So one day, when the factory was opening for the morning, Isaac snuck in line with the rest of the elves and tried to get into the factory. Luckily, it worked, and no one found out! Isaac was filled with joy as he had never seen the inside of the toy factory before. It was huge, and there were thousands of elves building toys for the children for next Christmas. He joined them in building, and for a long time, no one knew he was a frog. That is, until one elf, named Joe, saw that there was something weird about Isaac. He didn't look like the rest of the elves. So he kept his eye on Isaac, waiting to see what his secret was. One day, Isaac slipped, and his hat fell off. When this happened, Joe saw that he was a frog, and not an elf! He told Isaac that he would tell Santa all about how he had snuck in. Isaac begged Joe not to tell. Joe wanted to know what was in it for him, so Isaac promised to bake him a cake with lots of frosting. Joe never told. Q: Where did the frog live?

(CNN) -- Railroad ties, cement pilings and other debris reportedly mark the entrance to Marcus and Partricia Faella's rural Florida compound, situated on the edge of a wildlife management area marketed by tourism officials as a good spot for hikers, campers and bird watchers. Look closer and, according to police documents, you'd see shooting slits cut into the side of the couple's trailer, maybe even some military-grade ordinance scattered around the property. It is there, authorities say, that Marcus, his wife and eight other members of American Front -- a down-on-its-luck white supremacist group -- trained in hand-to-hand combat, drilled in breaking down weapons and practiced shooting them, imagining their targets weren't merely water jugs, but rather the exploding heads of people they hated. On Monday, authorities said they had arrested the Faellas and five other members of the group, which is also known by its initials AF, on charges of illegal paramilitary training, attempting to shoot into an occupied dwelling and evidence of prejudice while committing a crime. "Faella views himself and the other members of the AF as the protectors of the white race," investigators wrote in an affidavit. "Faella has stated his intent during the race war is to kill Jews, immigrants and other minorities." More immediately, according to police, Faella was planning to stage provocative disruptions at the Orlando City Hall and at a Melbourne, Florida, anarchist gathering that included members of anti-racist skinhead groups. Faella, the police documents say, wanted to stir up media attention to help gain new recruits for American Front, which hate-tracking groups says has been faltering since the death of its leader, David Lynch, in California. Q: What group is mentioned? A: American Front Q: What is their cause? A: protectors of the white race Q: Whose property were they practicing on? A: Marcus and Partricia Faella's Q: What state did they live in? A: Florida Q: Did they live in the city? A: no Q: How many people practiced there? A: 10 Q: Did they strongly dislike some people?

A: Faella was planning to stage provocative disruptions at the Orlando City Hall and at a Melbourne, Florida, anarchist gathering Q: What was their property next to? A: a wildlife management area Q: Is that a good place for people to visit? A: yes Q: Did they just learn how to shoot guns? A: no Q: What other fighting did they practice? A: hand-to-hand combat Q: Did the police catch some of them? A: yes Q: How many? A: the Faellas and five other members of the group, Q: When? A: On Monday Q: On how many charges? A: Three Q: Who was the former leader of the group? A: David Lynch Q: Where did he die? A: unknown Q: Was the group getting stronger? A: no Q: Was the Faella's property clean? A: no

CHAPTER VII. THE BLAST OF THE WHISTLE. Richard Talbot was of course convinced that witchcraft was not likely to be the most serious part of the misdeeds of Tibbott the huckstress. Committing Antony Babington to the custody of his wife, he sped on his way back to the Manor-house, where Lord Shrewsbury was at present residing, the Countess being gone to view her buildings at Chatsworth, taking her daughter Bessie with her. He sent in a message desiring to speak to my lord in his privy chamber. Francis Talbot came to him. "Is it matter of great moment, Dick?" he said, "for my father is so fretted and chafed, I would fain not vex him further to-night.--What! know you not? Here are tidings that my lady hath married Bess--yes, Bess Cavendish, in secret to my young Lord Lennox, the brother of this Queen's unlucky husband! How he is to clear himself before her Grace of being concerned in it, I know not, for though Heaven wots that he is as innocent as the child unborn, she will suspect him!" "I knew she flew high for Mistress Bess," returned Richard. "High! nothing would serve her save royal blood! My poor father says as sure as the lions and fleur-de-lis have come into a family, the headsman's axe has come after them." "However it is not our family." "So I tell him, but it gives him small comfort," said Frank, "looking as he doth on the Cavendish brood as his own, and knowing that there will be a mighty coil at once with my lady and these two queens. He is sore vexed to-night, and saith that never was Earl, not to say man, so baited by woman as he, and he bade me see whether yours be a matter of such moment that it may not wait till morning or be despatched by me."

CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE IN WHICH TOM PINCH AND HIS SISTER TAKE A LITTLE PLEASURE; BUT QUITE IN A DOMESTIC WAY, AND WITH NO CEREMONY ABOUT IT Tom Pinch and his sister having to part, for the dispatch of the morning's business, immediately after the dispersion of the other actors in the scene upon the wharf with which the reader has been already made acquainted, had no opportunity of discussing the subject at that time. But Tom, in his solitary office, and Ruth, in the triangular parlour, thought about nothing else all day; and, when their hour of meeting in the afternoon approached, they were very full of it, to be sure. There was a little plot between them, that Tom should always come out of the Temple by one way; and that was past the fountain. Coming through Fountain Court, he was just to glance down the steps leading into Garden Court, and to look once all round him; and if Ruth had come to meet him, there he would see her; not sauntering, you understand (on account of the clerks), but coming briskly up, with the best little laugh upon her face that ever played in opposition to the fountain, and beat it all to nothing. For, fifty to one, Tom had been looking for her in the wrong direction, and had quite given her up, while she had been tripping towards him from the first; jingling that little reticule of hers (with all the keys in it) to attract his wandering observation. Q: Did two people have a small scheme? A: Yes Q: Who? A: TOM PINCH AND HIS SISTER Q: Where was he to exit by? A: past the fountain Q: What is he exiting?

Los Angeles (CNN) -- The Palestinian maker of a film nominated for an Oscar was briefly detained by U.S. officials who questioned the validity of his Academy Awards invitation as he and his family arrived in Los Angeles for this weekend's event, his publicist told CNN on Wednesday. The brief detention of Emad Burnat, a West Bank farmer who spent five years making his "5 Broken Cameras" home video in his village of Bil'in, was quickly criticized by fellow documentary filmmaker Michael Moore, whom Burnat had contacted for help while being questioned at Los Angeles International Airport. U.S. authorities also placed Burnat's wife and 8-year-old son, Gibreel, in a holding area at the airport Tuesday night, Moore said on his Twitter account. "Apparently the Immigration & Customs officers couldn't understand how a Palestinian could be an Oscar nominee. Emad texted me for help," Moore tweeted. "After 1.5 hrs, they decided to release him & his family & told him he could stay in LA for the week & go to the Oscars. Welcome to America." 2013 Oscars: Get to know the best actor nominees Julia Pacetti, Burnat's publicist, told CNN that Burnat e-mailed her and Moore about how "immigration authorities were telling him he needed to give them a reason for his visit. "He asked me to send his invitation to the Oscars. But before I did, immigration authorities released him. It was a short-lived situation," Pacetti said.

Today there are policemen everywhere, but in 1700, London had no policemen at all. A few old men used to protect the city streets at night and they were not paid. About 300 years ago, London was starting to get bigger and more and more people began to live there. The city was very dirty and many people were poor. There were so many thieves who stole money in the streets that people stayed in their homes as much as possible. In 1750,Henry Fielding started to pay a group of people to stop thieves. They were like policemen and were called "Bow Street Runners" because they worked near Bow Street. Fifty years later, there were 120 "Bow Street Runners", but London had become very big and needed more policemen. So in 1829 , the first Metropolitan(or London)Police Force was started with 3,000 officers. Most of the men worked on foot, but a few rode horses. Until 1920 all the police in London were men. Today, London police are quite well paid and for the few police officers who still ride horses, the pay is even better than for the others. Q: How many police were in london in 1700? A: none Q: What group did Henry Fielding start to stop thieves? A: "Bow Street Runners" Q: Did any of the offices patrol on horseback during in 1829? A: yes Q: Were there any policewomen in 1920 or before? A: no Q: 300 Years before, why did everyone stay indoors as much as possible? A: thieves stole money in the streets Q: Who protected the town before 1700? A: A few old men Q: When was the first official metro workforce created? A: in 1829 Q: And how many? A: 3,000 officers.

Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom. With roots in blues rock and psychedelic/acid rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are sometimes associated with aggression and machismo. In 1968, the first heavy metal bands such as Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple attracted large audiences, though they were often derided by critics. During the mid-1970s, Judas Priest helped spur the genre's evolution by discarding much of its blues influence; Motörhead introduced a punk rock sensibility and an increasing emphasis on speed. Beginning in the late 1970s, bands in the new wave of British heavy metal such as Iron Maiden and Saxon followed in a similar vein. Before the end of the decade, heavy metal fans became known as "metalheads" or "headbangers". During the 1980s, glam metal became popular with groups such as Mötley Crüe and Poison. Underground scenes produced an array of more aggressive styles: thrash metal broke into the mainstream with bands such as Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and Anthrax, while other extreme subgenres of metal such as death metal and black metal remain subcultural phenomena. Since the mid-1990s popular styles have further expanded the definition of the genre. These include groove metal (with bands such as Pantera, Sepultura, and Lamb of God) and nu metal (with bands such as Korn, Slipknot, and Linkin Park), the latter of which often incorporates elements of grunge and hip hop. Q: Which metal band is popular for getting rid of certain influences? A: Judas Priest Q: Which is known for making it faster? A: Motörhead Q: Name one that added more aggression? A: Metallica, Megadeth Q: And one that made metal a more broad genre? A: Pantera, Q: Which subgenre of metal uses hip-hit influences? A: nu metal Q: Which could be described as a subculture? A: Slipknot Q: When did this genre first start becoming popular? A: In 1968,

Washington (CNN)Updates on Scott Walker, Marco Rubio and John Kasich, an economic twist on the old adage "All politics is local," and an overseas vote where President Obama would love to see an anti-incumbent backlash -- those stories filled our Sunday trip around the "Inside Politics" table. The official White House line will be something like this: The Israeli people are making their choice, the United States admires their vibrant democracy and looks forward to a close friendship and strategic partnership with the next Israeli government no matter who wins. But it's no secret President Obama is no fan of Benjamin Netanyahu, and the Israeli prime minister's recent address to a joint meeting of the Congress exposed the rawness of the relationship. So as the votes are counted and the coalitions debated in the week ahead, the White House has both a personal and professional interest. NPR's Steve Inskeep took a firsthand look at the Israeli campaign in the final days and offered his take on the uncertainty. "Now, Israel's political system is so complicated that even if (Netanyahu's) party ends up not being the leading party, there are scenarios where he could end up in a governing coalition," said Inskeep. "But it's interesting to note that Isaac Herzog, the Labor Party leader, who's his biggest challenger, wants to change Israel's approach to the world -- has been talking about trying to end Israel's isolation in the world, which would suggest changing a lot of policies that have infuriated this White House or frustrated this White House over the last several years." Q: Who works for NPR? A: Steve Inskeep Q: What did he do? A: took a firsthand look Q: At what? A: the Israeli campaign Q: Did he have an opinion? A: yes Q: What was it? A: he could end up governing Q: Who? A: Netanyahu Q: What is the old saying about politics? A: All politics is local Q: What is the president likely to say? A: The Israeli people are making their choice, Q: Who doesn't Obama like? A: Benjamin Netanyahu Q: Who is that? A: Israeli prime minister Q: What happened recently that revealed their relationship?

(CNN)It's amazing what (literal) lengths some people will go to earn frequent flier miles. Take Ben Schlappig. Over his lifetime, he's accrued about four million miles. Half of those, he estimates, were earned on "mile runs" -- trips taken for the sole purpose of earning points. Recently, he completed a dizzying, non-stop trip (London-New York-Los Angeles-Honolulu-Los Angeles-London-Miami-London-Los Angeles-London) that would set most people's heads spinning. It took four days (three of which were spent almost completely on a plane), and he accrued 270,000 miles. He admits that the journey was exhausting, but ultimately worth it. "To put it into some kind of perspective, it's enough miles for two first-class tickets between the U.S. and Asia," he notes. "If I would have paid cash for them, they would have each cost me over $20,000." December -- which marks the last opportunity for many frequent fliers to earn enough to gain (or maintain) their elite statuses -- is mile-run season. In the past, the trick was looking for a cheap ticket that went the distance, as miles earned were calculated by, well, miles flown. This year, that is all set to change. "In 33 years of frequent flier programs, this is the year of the biggest changes ever," says Randy Petersen, founder of the online travel forum FlyerTalk and CEO of Frequent Flyer Services, which offers guidance to road warriors the world over. "Some of the world's largest frequent flier programs are going to a revenue model," he explains, noting that come this year, many programs will start awarding members based on how much they spend, not how far they fly.

China Merchants Bank Co Ltd has teamed up with ride-hailing major Didi Kuaidi to provide automobile financing and expand its reach in China's booming mobile payment industry. The two have inked a comprehensive partnership, which includes a strategic investment by the former in the latter. Under the partnership, CMB will become the first bricks-and-mortar bank that can offer in-app credit card payments to Didi users. At present, users of Didi can only choose third-party payment solutions like WeChat Payment and Alipay to pay cab fares. Zhao Ju, vice-president of CMB, said the cooperation with Didi was an important step in its mobile Internet finance strategy. "CMB's mobile payment is going to enter a new chapter by leveraging Didi Kuaidi's vast user base," he said. According to a report by China Internet Network Information Center earlier this month, Didi holds 87.2 percent of China's private car hailing market. The company said it has received 1.43 billion car-hailing requests on its platforms in 2015, which means 1.43 billion payments were made via smartphones. CMB is expected to use Didi to reach the core users of China's mobile payment market. Jean Liu, president of Didi, said many of the expats prefer payment by credit card rather than Alipay or WeChat. "The new partnership will help improve service quality and customer loyalty," she said. The investment makes CMB part of Didi's existing investors, including Tencent Holdings Ltd, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and China Investment Corporation. Both of the companies declined to reveal the actual amount of the investment. Liu, who showed up on Tuesday for the first time in public after her treatment for breast cancer, said the cooperation with CMB is for the long run and "the capital investment is only part of it". Under the partnership, CMB and Didi will cooperate on a wide range of initiatives on financial services and online-to-offline cooperation. Apart from the in-app credit card payments, the two companies are going to launch joint credit cards in late February and automobile financing services for Didi's car owners. CMB's branches across China are expected to help Didi recruit more drivers. "There is a lot of room for imagination in our partnership," Li said, adding in future people may use their CMB credit card reward points to pay for the ride on Didi. Li Chao, an analyst with iResearch Consulting Group, said the partnership may not significantly boost CMB's mobile payment business. "Didi has educated the market for three years and its customers have formed the habit of paying by WeChat or Alipay. So I think CMB can only turn a very smart proportion of Didi users into its payment customer," he said. "But the move shows that China's traditional banking industry is finally thinking out of the box and looking for outside partners in Internet finance competition," he said. Statistics from Big-Data Research showed that more than 90 percent of China's 9.3 trillion yuan ($1.41 trillion) worth of third party mobile payment market is donated by Alibaba and Tencent.

The history of science is the study of the development of science and scientific knowledge, including both the natural sciences and social sciences. (The history of the arts and humanities is termed as the history of scholarship.) Science is a body of empirical, theoretical, and practical knowledge about the natural world, produced by scientists who emphasize the observation, explanation, and prediction of real world phenomena. Historiography of science, in contrast, often draws on the historical methods of both intellectual history and social history. The English word scientist is relatively recent—first coined by William Whewell in the 19th century. Previously, people investigating nature called themselves natural philosophers. While empirical investigations of the natural world have been described since classical antiquity (for example, by Thales, Aristotle, and others), and scientific methods have been employed since the Middle Ages (for example, by Ibn al-Haytham, and Roger Bacon), the dawn of modern science is often traced back to the early modern period and in particular to the scientific revolution that took place in 16th- and 17th-century Europe. Scientific methods are considered to be so fundamental to modern science that some consider earlier inquiries into nature to be pre-scientific. Traditionally, historians of science have defined science sufficiently broadly to include those inquiries. Q: What scientist is relatively recent? A: William Q: Who first coined the word scientist?

The man who jumped the White House fence earlier this month and breached the mansion's doors actually made it farther than originally thought, officials said Monday. White House fence jumper has PTSD, former stepson says Omar Gonzalez, a 42-year-old Iraq war veteran who had a knife in his pocket, overcame one Secret Service officer and ran into the East Room of the White House, where he was then subdued, a federal law enforcement said. Rep. Jason Chaffetz, who was provided the information by whistleblowers during his congressional investigation into the incident, also confirmed the details of what now appears to be a wild chase through the main floor of the White House, first reported by the Washington Post. The Secret Service had previously stated that Gonzalez was stopped after entering the front door of the North Portico. Gonzalez ran through much of the main floor, past a stairway that leads up to the first family's residence, and was ultimately stopped at the far southern end of the East Room. He also reached the doorway to the Green Room, an area that looks out on the South Lawn. No shots were fired inside the White House, the federal law official said. Official: Secret Service twice interviewed, released would-be White House intruder The Secret Service has not yet commented on the new details. "I could not be more proud of the individual agents, but I worry that Director (Julia) Pierson and the leadership there at the Secret Service is failing them," Chaffetz said Monday on "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer." Q: What did the White house fence jumper have? A: knife Q: What mental illness did the fence jumper have? A: unknown Q: Who stated that Gonzalez was stopped after entering the front door? A: Rep. Jason Chaffetz Q: Gonzalez ran through which floor? A: main floor, Q: Where was he finally stopped? A: the far southern end of the East Room Q: Did anyone shoot?

For Iris Grace Halmshaw, the world was a lonely place. The autistic five-year-old girl tried to speak, and she was often thrown into pain by the world around her. She filled her days with painting, and nothing could quite change this situation. Until, that was, a cat called Thula came along. The pair are now inseparable . Iris' parents believe the gentle cat is helping their little girl communicate with others, as well as influencing her works of art. In the beginning, they thought it was just _ , but now they believe Iris is expressing her love for Thula through her painting. Mother said, "When Iris is painting, Thula is told by her to "sit down" if she jumps up onto the table. She stays there, watching Iris with great interest, sometimes wanting to play with the brushes, but mostly just patiently watching." And the pair's bond doesn't end there. Thula is at Iris' side for every part of her life. The pair's closeness is having an effect on Iris' relationships with others, and her parents find it easier to encourage her to talk to others. After researching the advantages of animal therapy for autistic children, the couple had tried introducing Iris to horses, dogs and even other cats with no success --- but things changed when Thula came to live with the family. During weeks, the cat was helping to comfort the little girl in times of stress. Mother said, "It was as if they were old friends from the day they met. Thanks to Thula, new doorways to communication and feelings are opening and Iris is happier than ever before."[:Zxxk.Com] Q: What was Iris's last name? A: Halmshaw Q: How was she different?

Why Are Pig Farmers Still Using Growth-Promoting Drugs? It's one of the most controversial practices in agriculture: feeding small amounts of antibiotics to animals in order to make them grow faster. But what if the drugs don't even work very well? There's some good evidence that they don't, at least in pigs. They used to deliver a boost in growth, but that effect has disappeared in recent years or declined greatly. The reason for this is interesting and even paradoxical. Researchers think the antibiotics used to work by suppressing low-grade infections. In recent years, however, pork producers found other ways to accomplish the same thing through improved hygiene . As a result, the drugs have become largely superfluous -- yet many farmers still use them. To understand how this happened, you have to step back in time, says Steve Dritz, a specialist in pig nutrition at Kansas State University. Sixty years ago, when antibiotics were new, "people started treating animals, and feeding [the antibiotics], and finding that they had increased growth rates and feed efficiencies," he says. Nursery-age pigs, for instance, grew 12 to 15 percent faster with antibiotics. The animals also needed less feed to reach full weight. Other studies showed similar results in chickens and cattle. In the 1980s, a new set of studies found similar effects. So the growth-promoting effects of antibiotics became standard practice among meat producers. Fast forward to the 1990s. Dritz was starting his career as a scientist at Kansas State University, and pork production was changing dramatically. Previously, pigs were born and raised in one barn or in several barns close together. This meant infections could easily pass from one generation to the next, the way that kids share germs between their friends on the playground and their parents at home. Under the new system, when piglets are weaned, they move to a whole different place. That new site is carefully scrubbed and free of disease. Craig Rowles, who runs a large swine operation in Carroll, Iowa, shows me one such room. There's not a piglet in sight. "This room just got completely washed and disinfected, and now it's going to sit here and dry for a while," he says. A whole group of pigs will come in here together, and later they will move out together to yet another site. "That group of pigs will stay together until they go to market," Rowles says. The groups are kept strictly separated from each other. If workers move between the groups, they first have to change their boots. When farmers adopted multisite production, it cut down on disease -- and pigs actually grew faster. Q: what are they feeding to the pigs A: antibiotics Q: what were they used for at first A: unknown

It can be dangerous to travel by sea. Ships sometimes sink far away from land. When this happens, the sailors have to get into small boats. If another ship does not come and help them and they do not have enough food or water, they will die. Most people believe we must not drink sea water. They believe that if we do, we shall be very ill because of all the salt in the water. A doctor called Alain Bombard did not believe this. He thought that people could stay alive by drinking sea water and eating small fish, animals and plants from the sea. On 19 October 1953, he set out in a small boat to cross the Atlantic Ocean . He did not take any food or water with him. Every day Dr. Bombard drank just a little sea water. He also caught fish and they had water in them. He drank this water. He could not cook the fish, so he ate them as they were. He took small plants from the sea, which gave him more food. Dr. Bombard became hot, tired and quite ill, but after 65days at sea he was still alive. He traveled 2,750 miles from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other, and on 24th,December 1953, he reached Barbados. He lost 20 kilos, but he showed that people could live on sea water, the animals and plants in the sea. Q: What can be treacherous? A: to travel by sea Q: What sometimes happens to boats?

The Nation of Islam, abbreviated as NOI, is an African American political and religious movement, founded in Detroit, Michigan, United States, by Wallace D. Fard Muhammad on July 4, 1930. Its stated goals are to improve the spiritual, mental, social, and economic condition of African Americans in the United States and all of humanity. Critics have described the organization as being black supremacist and antisemitic. The Southern Poverty Law Center tracks the NOI as a hate group. Its official newspaper is "The Final Call". In 2007, the core membership was estimated to be between 20,000 and 50,000. After Fard disappeared in June 1934, the Nation of Islam was led by Elijah Muhammad, who established places of worship (called Temples or Mosques), a school named Muhammad University of Islam, farms, and real estate holdings in the United States and abroad. The Nation has long been a strong advocate of African-American businesses. There were a number of splits and splinter groups during Elijah Muhammad's leadership, most notably the departure of senior leader Malcolm X to become a Sunni Muslim. After Elijah Muhammad's death in 1975, his son, Warith Deen Mohammed, changed the name of the organization to "World Community of Islam in the West" (and twice more after that), and attempted to convert it to a mainstream Sunni Muslim ideology.

During the American Civil War (1861–1865), the Union referred to the United States of America and specifically to the national government of president Abraham Lincoln and the 20 free states and 5 border states that supported it. The Union was opposed by 11 southern slave states that formed the Confederate States, or "the Confederacy." All of the Union's states provided soldiers for the U.S. Army, though the border areas also sent tens of thousands of soldiers to the Confederacy. The Border states were essential as a supply base for the Union invasion of the Confederacy, and Lincoln realized he could not win the war without control of them. The Northeast provided the industrial resources for a mechanized war producing large quantities of munitions and supplies, as well as financing for the war. The Midwest provided soldiers, food, horses, financial support, and training camps. Army hospitals were set up across the Union. Most states had Republican governors who energetically supported the war effort and suppressed anti-war subversion in 1863–64. The Democratic Party strongly supported the war in 1861 but in 1862 was split between the War Democrats and the anti-war element led by the "Copperheads." The Democrats made major electoral gains in 1862 in state elections, most notably in New York. They lost ground in 1863, especially in Ohio. In 1864 the Republicans campaigned under the National Union Party banner, which attracted many War Democrats and soldiers and scored a landslide victory for Lincoln and his entire ticket. Q: When was the American Civil War? A: 1861-1865 Q: What were the names of the two sides? A: The union and The Confederacy Q: How many states were in the Union? A: ,20 free states and 5 border states Q: And the Confederacy? A: 11 Q: Did border states send soldiers to the Union or the Confederacy?

Steve Jobs, co-founder and former CEO of US technology giant Apple, has died at the age of 56. Mr Jobs had announced he was suffering from cancer in 2004. Apple said he had been "the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives" and had made the world "immeasurably better". Tributes have been made by technology company bosses and world leaders, with US President Barack Obama saying the world had "lost a visionary ". "Steve was among the greatest of American innovators ---- brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it," said Mr Obama. A statement from Mr Jobs's family said they were with him when he died peacefully on Wednesday. "In his public life, Steve was known as a visionary; in his private life, he loved his family deeply," they said, requesting privacy and thanking those who had "shared their wishes and prayers" during his final year. Apple said the company had "lost a visionary and creative genius and the world have lost an amazing human being". Tim Cook, who was made Apple's CEO after Mr Jobs stood down in August, said his predecessor had left behind "a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple". Flags are being flown at half mast outside the Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California, while fans of the company have left tributes outside Apple shops around the world. The heads of other leading technology companies have also paid tribute, including Microsoft boss Bill Gates, who said "For those of us lucky enough to get to work with him, it's been a great honour. I will miss Steve very much." Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg thanks Mr Jobs for "showing that what you build can change the world" while Sony Corp president and CEO Howard Stringer said: "The digital age has lost its leading light."

James is going to the baseball field with his friend Tommy. James has to practice because baseball season starts in a week. He wants to be a good player when the season starts. James has been lazy in practicing so he is not very good at baseball right now. He has to make up for it by playing baseball for 5 hours every day for a week. James thinks this is enough practice for him to catch up and be a good player when the season starts. So James and Tommy practice every day. They throw the ball around. They practice batting and they practice fielding. Tommy begins to see that James is getting better every day. He says "I do not believe it, James, but I think you are going to be pretty good when the season starts!" Usually a week is not enough time to get pretty good at baseball but James is practicing so much he is fitting a month of practice into one week. Then James has a setback. His glove rips during practice. He can't keep playing with a broken glove! So Tommy and James go around town collecting bottles to trade in for five cents for each bottle. James misses a day of practicing but they find enough bottles to turn in for thirty dollars. This is enough money for James to buy a new glove!

On Mother's Day Sunday I went to breakfast with my mom, sister and wife. The day before that, I bought my mom a lovely bunch of flowers. My mom had eggs, my sister had pancakes, and my wife had toast. I had a muffin. The restaurant was called Maggie's. It was not my favorite breakfast restaurant. I like Denny's or a diner. Breakfast was not good. The pancakes were soggy, the toast was burned and the eggs were cold. Even worse, my breakfast made me sick.

Autonomous okrug (), occasionally also referred to as "autonomous district", "autonomous area", and "autonomous region", is a type of federal subject of Russia and simultaneously an administrative division type of some federal subjects. As of 2014, Russia comprises eighty-five federal subjects, of which four are autonomous okrugs. Originally called national okrug, this type of administrative unit was created in the 1920s and widely implemented in 1930 to provide autonomy to indigenous peoples of the North. In 1977, the 1977 Soviet Constitution changed the term "national okrugs" to "autonomous okrugs" in order to emphasize that they were indeed autonomies and not simply another type of administrative and territorial division. While the 1977 Constitution stipulated that the autonomous okrugs are subordinated to the oblasts and krais, this clause was revised on December 15, 1990, when it was specified that autonomous okrugs are subordinated directly to the Russian SFSR, although they still may stay in jurisdiction of a krai or an oblast to which they were subordinated before. In 1990, ten autonomous okrugs existed within the RSFSR. Between 2005 and 2008, the three autonomous okrugs in which the titular nationality constituted more than 30% of the population were abolished. Since then, three more have been abolished, leaving four. Q: What is the name of the administrative unit discussed here? A: Autonomous okrug Q: What was its original name? A: national okrug Q: What is it sometimes called? A: autonomous district Q: When was it created? A: 1920s Q: What was it to provide? A: provide autonomy to indigenous peoples of the North Q: When would it be widely used? A: 1930 Q: Why was the named changed? A: 1977 Q: Where was it changed? A: 1977 Soviet Constitution Q: When was it revised? A: 1990 Q: How many were in existence then? A: ten Q: How many were eliminated? A: Six Q: How many federal subjects are there? A: eighty-five Q: Of these how many are the type of unit discussed? A: three

CHAPTER THE THIRTY-FIRST "Oh, fear not, fear not, good Lord John, That I would you betray, Or sue requital for a debt, Which nature cannot pay. Bear witness, all ye sacred powers-- Ye lights that 'gin to shine-- This night shall prove the sacred tie That binds your faith and mine." ANCIENT SCOTTISH BALLAD. Left behind by their master, the two dependants of Hugh de Lacy marched on in sullen silence, like men who dislike and distrust each other, though bound to one common service, and partners, therefore, in the same hopes and fears. The dislike, indeed, was chiefly upon Guarine's side; for nothing could be more indifferent to Renault Vidal than was his companion, farther than as he was conscious that Philip loved him not, and was not unlikely, so far as lay in his power, to thwart some plans which he had nearly at heart. He took little notice of his companion, but hummed over to himself, as for the exercise of his memory, romances and songs, many of which were composed in languages which Guarine, who had only an ear for his native Norman, did not understand. They had proceeded together in this sullen manner for nearly two hours, when they were met by a groom on horseback, leading a saddled palfrey. "Pilgrims," said the man, after looking at them with some attention, "which of you is called Philip Guarine?" "I, for fault of a better," said the esquire, "reply to that name." "Thy lord, in that case, commends him to you," said the groom; "and sends you this token, by which you shall know that I am his true messenger." Q: Who left behind two men? A: Hugh de Lacy Q: Did they like each other? A: No Q: What were they doing? A: marching Q: Did they talk while walking? A: No Q: Who did the horseman want to talk to? A: Philip Guarine Q: What did he have behind him? A: a saddled palfrey Q: Who sent him? A: The lord Q: How long had they walked before they met the rider? A: nearly two hours, Q: Did they dislike each other in equal measure? A: No Q: How did Vidal feel about his companion? A: indifferent Q: And what was the person he was walking with named? A: Guarine

CHAPTER XXXIX Doctor Crofts Is Turned Out "Have you heard the news, my dear, from the Small House?" said Mrs Boyce to her husband, some two or three days after Mrs Dale's visit to the squire. It was one o'clock, and the parish pastor had come in from his ministrations to dine with his wife and children. "What news?" said Mr Boyce, for he had heard none. "Mrs Dale and the girls are going to leave the Small House; they're going into Guestwick to live." "Mrs Dale going away; nonsense!" said the vicar. "What on earth should take her into Guestwick? She doesn't pay a shilling of rent where she is." "I can assure you it's true, my dear. I was with Mrs Hearn just now, and she had it direct from Mrs Dale's own lips. Mrs Hearn said she'd never been taken so much aback in her whole life. There's been some quarrel, you may be sure of that." Mr Boyce sat silent, pulling off his dirty shoes preparatory to his dinner. Tidings so important, as touching the social life of his parish, had not come to him for many a day, and he could hardly bring himself to credit them at so short a notice. "Mrs Hearn says that Mrs Dale spoke ever so firmly about it, as though determined that nothing should change her." "And did she say why?" "Well, not exactly. But Mrs Hearn said she could understand there had been words between her and the squire. It couldn't be anything else, you know. Probably it had something to do with that man, Crosbie." Q: How many are leaving the aged home? A: Three Q: Who are they? A: Mrs Dale and the girls Q: Who was gossiping about it to her man? A: Mrs Boyce Q: Who was she telling? A: her husband

Of approximately 100 million native speakers of German in the world, roughly 80 million consider themselves Germans.[citation needed] There are an additional 80 million people of German ancestry mainly in the United States, Brazil (mainly in the South Region of the country), Argentina, Canada, South Africa, the post-Soviet states (mainly in Russia and Kazakhstan), and France, each accounting for at least 1 million.[note 2] Thus, the total number of Germans lies somewhere between 100 and more than 150 million, depending on the criteria applied (native speakers, single-ancestry ethnic Germans, partial German ancestry, etc.). Conflict between the Germanic tribes and the forces of Rome under Julius Caesar forced major Germanic tribes to retreat to the east bank of the Rhine. Roman emperor Augustus in 12 BC ordered the conquest of the Germans, but the catastrophic Roman defeat at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest resulted in the Roman Empire abandoning its plans to completely conquer Germany. Germanic peoples in Roman territory were culturally Romanized, and although much of Germany remained free of direct Roman rule, Rome deeply influenced the development of German society, especially the adoption of Christianity by the Germans who obtained it from the Romans. In Roman-held territories with Germanic populations, the Germanic and Roman peoples intermarried, and Roman, Germanic, and Christian traditions intermingled. The adoption of Christianity would later become a major influence in the development of a common German identity. Q: Who did the Germanic tribe fight? A: Rome. Q: Who was their leader? A: Julius Caesar. Q: Did they influence the Germans in terms of religion? A: Yes. Q: Which one? A: Christianity. Q: About how many people are native speakers of German? A: 100 million. Q: Does this include the total number of people that could be considered German? A: Yes but not all do. Q: What is the estimated number? A: 80 million. Q: Did Rome ever manage to beat the Germans? A: No. Q: What did Caesar order them to try? A: To have conflict with the Germanic tribes. Q: When did he order it? A: The Rhine

Mrs Elise was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, I was getting ready to eat my tuna fish sandwich and suddenly Mrs Elise asked me if she could buy my sandwich from me. She explained that I could use the money to buy a hot hunch from the cafeteria . I was excited. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and took the bag back home to use it again the next day. So you could understand my happiness when I had the chance to buy a hot lunch. When we finished lunch that day, Mrs Elise took me aside and said she wanted to explain why she had bought my sandwich. I really didn't care why, but it gave me a few minutes of her special attention, so I was quiet as she explained. She told me that she was a Catholic and Catholics didn't eat red meat on Fridays, they ate fish on Fridays. Oh, I couldn't wait to get home and tell my mother that from then on I wanted a tuna fish sandwich on Fridays. After my mother understood why, she gladly made tuna fish sandwiches for me on Fridays. She even made it with brown bread because she knew Mrs Elise liked brown bread. From then on, every Friday I could get in line with other kids for a hot lunch. I didn't care how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food. It tasted _ to me! I realize now that Mrs Elise could have made herself tuna fish sandwiches on Fridays. But she bought mine because she saw a little girl who was excited at the simple act of having a hot lunch. I will never forget Mrs Elise for her pity for me and generosity and what I should do is to follow her example. Q: who was the instructor? A: Mrs Elise Q: what level did she teach? A: the fourth grade Q: what religion did the instructor practice? A: Catholicism Q: On what day could she not consume beef? A: Friday Q: what did the consume instead? A: fish Q: was the young in the story wealthy? A: No Q: did the young woman purchase something? A: yes Q: what? A: a hot hunch Q: from where? A: the cafeteria Q: did someone make something? A: Yes Q: who? A: the young woman's mother Q: what she make? A: tuna fish sandwiches Q: was she happy doing so? A: Yes Q: did the young woman like eating warm food? A: Yes

CHAPTER II SOMETHING OF THE PAST "The horses are running away!" "Oh, we'll be killed!" Such were the cries from the two girls as the mettlesome grays tore along the country highway at a speed that seemed marvelous. "Dave, can I help you?" asked Ben, anxiously. "I don't think so," answered the young driver between his set teeth. "I guess I can bring them down. Anyway, I can try." "What shall we do?" wailed Jessie. "Don't do anything--sit still," ordered Dave. He was afraid that Jessie in her excitement might fling herself from the flying sleigh. On and on bounded the frightened team. Each of the grays now had his bit in his teeth, and it looked as if it would be impossible for Dave to obtain control of the pair. And, worst of all, they were now approaching a turn, with the hill on one side of the roadway and a gully on the other. "Better keep them as far as possible away from the gully," suggested Ben. "That is what I'm trying to do," returned Dave, setting his teeth grimly. Dave Porter was a resolute youth, always doing his best to accomplish whatever he set out to do. Had it been otherwise, it is not likely that he would have occupied the position in which we found him at the opening of our story. When a very small youth Dave had been found wandering along the railroad tracks near Crumville. He could tell little about himself or how he had come in that position; and kind people had taken him in and later on had placed him in the local poorhouse. From that institution he had been taken by an old college professor, named Caspar Potts, who at that time had been farming for his health. Q: Who is driving? A: Dave Q: What is the vehicle? A: sleigh Q: What's making it move? A: The horses Q: Are they going too fast? A: Yes Q: Why? A: They were frightened Q: Who offered Dave some assistance? A: Ben Q: Is he a passenger? A: unknown Q: Who else is riding along? A: two girls Q: What are their names? A: Jessie Q: Do you know the other ones name? A: unknown Q: Is Dave and old man? A: No Q: Does he take pride in his work? A: Yes Q: Was he an orphan/ A: Yes Q: Where did someone find him? A: along the railroad tracks Q: What was the closest town? A: Crumville Q: did someone take care of him? A: Yes Q: who? A: an old college professor Q: What was his name? A: Caspar Potts Q: Where did he get him? A: in the local poorhouse Q: What are the horses coming upon? A: a turn

(CNN) -- Three times, Adrian Pracon prepared to die on Utoya island, a Norwegian paradise turned to hell Friday. Friends he laughed with earlier in the day fell one by one in a gunman's hail of fire. He survived to tell a horrifying tale Saturday. When the shooting started Friday afternoon, many of the 600 people at the ruling Labour Party's youth camp ran down a hill and to the water. The shooter came after them, screaming. "You are all going to die!" Pracon was one of the last ones remaining between the shooter and the water and didn't have time to take his heavy clothes or boots off. About 100 meters into the chilly water, he realized he would not make it. He would drown with all that weight. "I felt I couldn't breathe. I already swallowed too much water," he said. "I felt the clothes pulling me down." He managed to swim back to shore and crouched behind a boulder with others. But the gunman found him. He was so close that Pracon could see down the barrel of his weapon. He was sure to get a direct hit. Pracon thought he was going to die. Another survivor, Otzar Fagerheim, described the gunman as having blond hair and pale skin. He carried three guns, he said. At times, he shot those guns with disarming calm, like he was shooting photographs. He even smiled, Fagerheim said. Pracon was surprised to hear the shooter speaking Norwegian. He was certain a compatriot could never commit such a heinous act. Q: How many people youth camp? A: 600 Q: Where did they go? A: ran down a hill and to the water Q: What was the shooter yelling? A: "You are all going to die!" Q: Who almost died three times? A: Pracon Q: Did he take anything off before he got in the water? A: No Q: Why not? A: he didn't have time Q: WAs the water warm?

A: blond Q: Did he have dark skin? A: No Q: Was the shooter smiling? A: yes Q: What language did he speak? A: Norwegian Q: Where did it take place? A: on Utoya island Q: What day was it? A: Friday.

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist in England, David was brought into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet. David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But the year before he turned 13, his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others from then on. How could I help him? David didn't say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder."Come back next week if you like. "I said. He came and I suggested we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon--in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me. But why didn't he ever look at me? "Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. Months later, when I was looking at his head, he suddenly looked up at me. "It's your turn," he said. After that day, David started talking. He finally got friends in school and he even joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times. Now he had re ally started to live his life. Maybe I gave David something. But I learned a lot from him. I learned how time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him. All they need is a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch and an ear that listens. Q: what age was David when his grandmother died? A: unknown Q: how old was he when his grandfather died? A: When he was 12. Q: what did he like to play with the psychologist? A: chess Q: did David talk while they played initially? A: no Q: how did his mother die?

A: no Q: what did he say when he spoke to the psychologist for the first time? A: "It's your turn." Q: what club was he a member at, at school? A: a bicycle club Q: was he talking more by then? A: yes Q: did the psychologist learn a lot from David? A: yes Q: where was the psychologist working? A: in England Q: what had he learned from David? A: How time makes it possible to get over painful things. Q: what three things do they need to get over the pain? A: A shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch and an ear that listens.

The Second Boer War (, , "Second Freedom War"), known variously as the Boer War, Anglo-Boer War, South African War or Anglo-Boer South African War, started on 11 October 1899 and ended on 31 May 1902. Britain defeated two Boer states in South Africa: the South African Republic (Republic of Transvaal) and the Orange Free State. Britain was aided by its Cape Colony, the Colony of Natal and some native African allies. The British war effort was further supported by volunteers from the British Empire, including Southern Africa, the Australian colonies, Canada, India and New Zealand. Inside Britain and its Empire there also was significant opposition to the Second Boer War. Britain was overconfident and under-prepared. The Boers were very well armed and struck first, besieging Ladysmith, Kimberley, and Mafeking in early 1900, and winning important battles at Colenso, Magersfontein and Stormberg. Staggered, Britain brought in large numbers of soldiers and fought back. General Redvers Buller was replaced by Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchener. They relieved the three besieged cities, and invaded the two Boer republics in late 1900. The onward marches of the British Army were so overwhelming that the Boers did not fight staged battles in defense of their homeland. Britain quickly seized control of all of the Orange Free State and Transvaal, as the civilian leadership went into hiding or exile. In conventional terms, the war was over. Britain officially annexed the two countries in 1900, and called a "khaki election" to give the government another six years of power in London. Q: When did the Boer war start?

The PlayStation Portable (PSP) (ᴊᴘ プレイステーション・ポータブル) is a handheld game console developed by Sony Computer Entertainment. Development of the handheld was announced during E3 2003, and it was unveiled on , 2004, at a Sony press conference before E3 2004. The system was released in Japan on , 2004, in North America on , 2005, and in the PAL region on , 2005. It primarily competed with the Nintendo DS, as part of the seventh generation of video games consoles. The PlayStation Portable became the most powerful portable system when launched, just after the Nintendo DS in 2004. It was the first real competitor to Nintendo's handheld domination, where many challengers, such as SNK's Neo Geo Pocket and Nokia's N-Gage, failed. Its GPU encompassed high-end graphics on a handheld, while its 4.3 inch viewing screen and multi-media capabilities, such as its video player and TV tuner, made the PlayStation Portable a major mobile entertainment device at the time. It also features connectivity with the PlayStation 3, other PSPs and the Internet. It is the only handheld console to use an optical disc format, Universal Media Disc (UMD), as its primary storage medium. The original PSP model (PSP-1000) was replaced by a slimmer model with design changes (PSP-2000/"Slim & Lite") in 2007. Another remodeling followed in 2008, PSP-3000, which included a new screen and an inbuilt microphone. A complete redesign, PSP Go, came in 2009, followed by a budget model, PSP-E1000, in 2011. The PSP line was succeeded by the PlayStation Vita, released in December 2011 in Japan, and in February 2012 worldwide. The PlayStation Vita features backward compatibility with many PlayStation Portable games digitally released on the PlayStation Network, via PlayStation Store. As of 2017, this is the primary method to purchase PlayStation Portable games digitally because Sony shut down direct access to the PlayStation Store via PSP on March 31, 2016. Shipments of PlayStation Portable hardware ended throughout 2014 worldwide, having sold 80 million units in its 10-year lifetime. Worldwide production of software UMDs ended when the last Japanese factory closed by the end of 2016. Q: When was the PlayStation Portable released? A: 2004. Q: Was it the least powerful at that time? A: No. Q: What came out just prior to it? A: Nintendo DS. Q: What size was the screen? A: 4.3 inch. Q: Could it play movies? A: Yes. Q: How?

CHAPTER VI WORK!" said Mr. Robert Vyner, severely, as he reclined in a deck-chair on the poop of the Indian Chief and surveyed his surroundings through half-closed eyes. "Work! It’s no good sitting here idling while the world’s work awaits my attention." Captain Trimblett, who was in a similar posture a yard away, assented. He also added that there was "nothing like it." "There’s no play without work," continued Mr. Vyner, in a spirit of self-admonition. The captain assented again. "You said something about work half an hour ago," he remarked. "And I meant it," said Mr. Vyner; "only in unconscious imitation I dozed off. What I really want is for somebody to take my legs, somebody else my shoulders, and waft me gently ashore." "I had a cook o’ mine put ashore like that once," said Captain Trimblett, in a reminiscent voice; "only I don’t know that I would have called it ’wafting,’ and, so far as my memory goes, he didn’t either. He had a lot to say about it, too." Mr. Vyner, with a noisy yawn, struggled out of his chair and stood adjusting his collar and waistcoat. "If I couldn’t be a chrysalis," he said, slowly, as he looked down at the recumbent figure of the captain, "do you know what I would like to be?" "I’ve had a very hard day’s work," said the other, defensively, as he struggled into a sitting posture—"very hard. And I was awake half the night with the toothache." "That isn’t an answer to my question," said Mr. Vyner, gently. "But never mind; try and get a little sleep now; try and check that feverish desire for work, which is slowly, very, very slowly, wearing you to skin and bone. Think how grieved the firm would be if the toothache carried you off one night. Why not go below and turn in now? It’s nearly five o’clock." Q: Was there a Captain? A: yes Q: What was his name A: Captain Trimblett Q: What is the first thing that was said A: WORK! Q: By who? A: Mr. Robert Vyner Q: Was he sitting A: yes Q: in what? A: a deck-chair Q: Was the Captain sitting A: yes Q: What does Mr. Vyner want A: someone to waft him gently ashore Q: Did he get out of his chair? A: yes Q: Did he yawn? A: yes

CHAPTER XII THE ELECTION FOR OFFICERS On the following morning all of the cadets but Harry Moss appeared in the messroom. "Joe Davis says Harry is quite sick," said Powell to Dick. "That's too bad. Have they sent for a doctor?" "I don't know." When Lew Flapp heard that Harry was sick he grew pale, and during the morning session could scarcely fix his mind on his studies. "I hope the little fool don't blab on us," was his thought. "If he does there is no telling what the captain will do. He's altogether too strict for comfort in some things." No doctor was sent for, so it was finally agreed that Harry Moss was not as ill as had been supposed. But the young cadet did not enter the schoolroom for all of that day. The sickness had frightened Captain Putnam, who was not yet over the scarlet fever scare, and he questioned Harry thoroughly about what he had been doing, and about what he had been eating and drinking. At first the young cadet did not dare to tell the truth, but finally he blurted out that he had taken a glass of liquor against his will and it had turned his stomach in a most painful manner. "Where did you get the liquor?" demanded Captain Putnam sternly. "I--I--oh, must I tell you, sir?" "Yes, Harry." "I--that is, Lew Flapp--Oh, sir, I don't want to be a tattle-tale." "Did Lew Flapp give you the liquor? Answer me at once." Q: Who might tell on someone? A: Harry Q: Was he sick? A: yes Q: Where wasn't he? A: in the messroom Q: What time of the day? A: morning Q: Who was worried about him tattling? A: Lew Flapp Q: What did he drink that made him sick? A: liquor Q: From who? A: Lew Flapp Q: How much did he drink? A: a glass Q: Did he come to class that day? A: no Q: Did a doctor come? A: No Q: Was he as sick as people thought? A: no Q: Who first said he was sick? A: Joe Davis Q: Did Harry tell someone about where he got the alcohol? A: yes Q: Who? A: Captain Putnam Q: What illness had happened before that he was afraid of? A: scarlet fever Q: Did Harry lie initially? A: yes Q: What did Lew think he was? A: a tattle-tale Q: What type of students were they? A: cadets Q: Did the captain ask a lot of questions? A: yes Q: Was Lew worried about what would happen if he found out? A: yes

CHAPTER VI A GAME OF HIDE AND SEEK There was a game of hide and seek that Danny Meadow Mouse once played with Buster Bear. It was a very dreadful game for Danny. But hard as it was for Danny, it didn't begin to be as hard as the game Lightfoot the Deer was playing with the hunter in the Green Forest. In the case of Buster Bear and Danny, the latter had simply to keep out of reach of Buster. As long as Buster didn't get his great paws on Danny, the latter was safe. Then, too, Danny is a very small person. He is so small that he can hide under two or three leaves. Wherever he is, he is pretty sure to find a hiding-place of some sort. His small size gives him advantages in a game of hide and seek. It certainly does. But Lightfoot the Deer is big. He is one of the largest of the people who live in the Green Forest. Being so big, it is not easy to hide. Moreover, a hunter with a terrible gun does not have to get close in order to kill. Lightfoot knew all this as he waited for the coming of the hunter of whom Sammy Jay had warned him. He had learned many lessons in the hunting season of the year before and he remembered every one of them. He knew that to forget even one of them might cost him his life. So, standing motionless behind a tangle of fallen trees, Lightfoot listened and watched. Q: Who can kill from a distance? A: a hunter Q: With what? A: a gun Q: Is one of the animals aware of this? A: yes Q: WHo? A: Lightfoo Q: What kind of animal is he? A: Deer Q: Who told him the gunman will arrive? A: Sammy Jay . Q: What is the rodent's name? A: Danny Q: Is he playing with someone? A: yes Q: With whom? A: Buster Q: What kind of animal is he? A: bear. Q: What game are they playing? A: hide and seek Q: How can Danny win? A: k eep out of busters reach Q: Is Danny big? A: No Q: How little is he? A: very small Q: Can he conceal himself easily? A: yes Q: What is sufficient to conceal him? A: two or three leaves. Q: Where do these beasts live? A: Forest Q: Which one? A: the Green Forest Q: Are there large animals there? A: yes Q: Please name one. A: Lightfoot

Grapes are a type of fruit that grow in clusters of 15 to 300, and can be crimson, black, dark blue, yellow, green, orange, and pink. "White" grapes are actually green in color, and are evolutionarily derived from the purple grape. Mutations in two regulatory genes of white grapes turn off production of anthocyanins, which are responsible for the color of purple grapes. Anthocyanins and other pigment chemicals of the larger family of polyphenols in purple grapes are responsible for the varying shades of purple in red wines. Grapes are typically an ellipsoid shape resembling a prolate spheroid. The cultivation of the domesticated grape began 6,000–8,000 years ago in the Near East. Yeast, one of the earliest domesticated microorganisms, occurs naturally on the skins of grapes, leading to the innovation of alcoholic drinks such as wine. The earliest archeological evidence for a dominant position of wine-making in human culture dates from 8,000 years ago in Georgia. The oldest winery was found in Armenia, dating to around 4000 BC.[citation needed] By the 9th century AD the city of Shiraz was known to produce some of the finest wines in the Middle East. Thus it has been proposed that Syrah red wine is named after Shiraz, a city in Persia where the grape was used to make Shirazi wine.[citation needed] Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics record the cultivation of purple grapes,[citation needed] and history attests to the ancient Greeks, Phoenicians, and Romans growing purple grapes for both eating and wine production[citation needed].

CHAPTER XI. LADY PERSIFLAGE. Hampstead rushed up to Hendon almost without seeing his stepmother, intent on making preparations for his sister, and then, before October was over, rushed back to fetch her. He was very great at rushing, never begrudging himself any personal trouble in what he undertook to do. When he left the house he hardly spoke to her ladyship. When he took Lady Frances away he was of course bound to bid her adieu. "I think," he said, "that Frances will be happy with me at Hendon." "I have nothing to do with it,--literally nothing," said the Marchioness, with her sternest frown. "I wash my hands of the whole concern." "I am sure you would be glad that she should be happy." "It is impossible that any one should be happy who misconducts herself." "That, I think, is true." "It is certainly true, with misconduct such as this." "I quite agree with what you said first. But the question remains as to what is misconduct. Now--" "I will not hear you, Hampstead; not a word. You can persuade your father, I dare say, but you cannot persuade me. Fanny has divorced herself from my heart for ever." "I am sorry for that." "And I'm bound to say that you are doing the same. It is better in some cases to be plain." "Oh--certainly; but not to be irrational." "I am not irrational, and it is most improper for you to speak to me in that way." "Well, good-bye. I have no doubt it will come right some of these days," said Hampstead, as he took his leave. Then he carried his sister off to Hendon. Q: Where did Hampstead carry his sister to? A: Hendon Q: When did Hampstead fetch his sister? A: before October was over, Q: Was Hampstead good at rushing? A: yes Q: Did Hampstead think Frances would be happy at Hendon? A: yes Q: Did the Marchioness take responsibility for Frances' happiness? A: no Q: Who did the Marchioness say Hampstead can persuade? A: her father Q: Did she say he could persuade her? A: no Q: Did Hampstead speak frequently to the Marchioness before taking Lady Frances away? A: no Q: What relation is Lady Frances to Hampstead?

Great Britain, also known as Britain, is a large island in the north Atlantic Ocean off the northwest coast of continental Europe. With an area of , Great Britain is the largest of the British Isles, the largest European island, and the ninth-largest island in the world. In 2011 the island had a population of about 61 million people, making it the world's third-most populous island after Java in Indonesia and Honshu in Japan. The island of Ireland is situated to the west of it, and together these islands, along with over 1,000 smaller surrounding islands, comprise the British Isles archipelago. The island is dominated by a maritime climate with quite narrow temperature differences between seasons. Politically, the island is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and constitutes most of its territory. Most of England, Scotland, and Wales are on the island. The term "Great Britain" often extends to include surrounding islands that form part of England, Scotland, and Wales, and is also sometimes loosely applied to the UK as a whole. A single Kingdom of Great Britain resulted from the union of the Kingdom of England (which had already comprised the present-day countries of England and Wales) and the Kingdom of Scotland by the 1707 Acts of Union. More than a hundred years before, in 1603, King James VI, King of Scots, had inherited the throne of England, but it was not until 1707 that the two countries' parliaments agreed to form a political union. In 1801, Great Britain united with the neighbouring Kingdom of Ireland, forming the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, which was renamed the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" after the Irish Free State seceded in 1922.

Tripoli, Libya (CNN) -- Libya's transitional government picked an engineering professor and longtime exile as its acting prime minister Monday, with the new leader pledging to respect human rights and international law. The National Transitional Council elected Abdurrahim El-Keib, an electrical engineer who has held teaching posts at the University of Alabama and Abu Dhabi's Petroleum Institute, to the post with the support of 26 of the 51 members who voted. El-Keib emerged victorious from a field that initially included 10 candidates. "This is a new Libya," El-Keib told reporters. "It's been 42 years with our friends and people all around the world dealing with a brutal dictator, so concerns are in order, but I want to tell you there should be none of those. "We expect the world to understand that we have national interests as well, and we expect them to respect this," he said. "In fact, we demand respect of our national rights and national interests. In return, we promise respect and dealing according to international law." But in response to questions about allegations of human rights abuses by the revolutionary forces that toppled longtime strongman Moammar GGadhafi, El-Keib said Libyans needed time to sort things out. "I also need to remind myself that the Libyan revolution ended just recently in Bani Walid, Sirte, and in Tripoli only about two months ago," he said. "We beg you , the media, to give us the opportunity and the time to think through all the issues that have been raised by yourself as well as other Arab media. But we guarantee you that we are after building a nation that respects human rights and that does not permit abuse of human rights, but we need time." Q: Who was the former ruler of Lybia? A: Moammar GGadhafi Q: What kind of leader was he? A: dictator Q: How many people were running for Prime Minister? A: 10 Q: Who won? A: El-Keib Q: What was his profession? A: professor

Hannah and her friend Mary were bored. They sat around the house and tried to think about what to do. They petted the cat. They drew pictures in Hannah's notebook. They snuck into Hannah's mother's closet to try on her shoes, but Hannah's mother caught them. She said, "You girls need something to do. Let's take a walk to the park!" Hannah and Mary looked at each other, and then jumped up and down happily. "The park sounds great!" said Hannah. "Let's go!" cried Mary. So Hannah's mother packed up a snack of apples and cookies, and they all set off to walk to the park. They walked down the sidewalk, looking at all the interesting things along the way. Mary spotted a squirrel. Hannah saw a yellow bird. Hannah's mother pointed out the pretty yellow flowers growing in front of Mr. Smith's house. When they got to the park, Hannah's mother spread out a picnic blanket and the snack. Hannah and Mary ran around chasing butterflies for a little time, and then sat down to eat their snacks. When they finished, Hannah's mother put the leftovers in a trash can. As they walked back home, Hannah thought that the boring day had turned out quite well. Q: Who was bored?

CHAPTER XXIX THE ARM OF THE LAW Soon Dick and Sam were on the way to where they had left the chauffeur and the big touring car. They fairly ran down the woodland trail, stumbling over the rocks and tree roots in the darkness. Once Sam went down, and scratched his hand, but he got up without complaining. They were almost in sight of the machine when they heard a peculiar sound. Dick's heart gave a bound. "Listen!" he cried. "He's trying to crank up! He must have gotten free of his bonds!" The oldest Rover boy was right, the chauffeur had worked at the straps and ropes until he had liberated himself. Now he was working at the crank of the touring car, hoping to get away in the machine. "He won't get started," muttered Sam, remembering what he and Tom had done to the automobile. They sneaked up behind the man, and before he could resist had thrown him flat on his back. Then, while Dick held him down, Sam ran and got the straps and ropes. "You let me go!" yelled the man. "Let me go, or it will be the worse for you!" And he tried to get away. But then Dick put a pistol to his head and he collapsed and offered no more resistance. As soon as the chauffeur was again secured, the boys bundled him into the enclosed portion of the car and tied him fast to the foot rail and the robe rail. Then the youths lost no time in readjusting the machine so it could be used, and lighting all the front lamps. Q: Did Sam cry when he fell? A: no Q: who was the older of the 2 boys? A: Dick Q: where were they running to? A: where they had left the chauffeur Q: was it daytime or night? A: darkness. Q: who did they sneak up on? A: chauffeur Q: was he happy to see them? A: no Q: what did they do after tying him up again? A: Dick put a pistol to his head Q: what made Dicks heart jump? A: they heard a peculiar sound Q: what was the sound? A: he was working at the crank of the touring car Q: what did they tie the chauffeur up with? A: straps and ropes

Greenwich (, , or ) is an area of south east London, England, located east-southeast of Charing Cross. It is located within the Royal Borough of Greenwich, to which it lends its name. Greenwich is notable for its maritime history and for giving its name to the Greenwich Meridian (0° longitude) and Greenwich Mean Time. The town became the site of a royal palace, the Palace of Placentia from the 15th century, and was the birthplace of many Tudors, including Henry VIII and Elizabeth I. The palace fell into disrepair during the English Civil War and was rebuilt as the Royal Naval Hospital for Sailors by Sir Christopher Wren and his assistant Nicholas Hawksmoor. These buildings became the Royal Naval College in 1873, and they remained an establishment for military education until 1998 when they passed into the hands of the Greenwich Foundation. The historic rooms within these buildings remain open to the public; other buildings are used by University of Greenwich and Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance. The town became a popular resort in the 18th century and many grand houses were built there, such as Vanbrugh Castle (1717) established on Maze Hill, next to the park. From the Georgian period estates of houses were constructed above the town centre. The maritime connections of Greenwich were celebrated in the 20th century, with the siting of the "Cutty Sark" and "Gipsy Moth IV" next to the river front, and the National Maritime Museum in the former buildings of the Royal Hospital School in 1934. Greenwich formed part of Kent until 1889 when the County of London was created. Q: what country is the town the article is covering in? A: England Q: what is it named? A: Greenwich Q: where is it?

Kerry was born in Aurora, Colorado and attended boarding school in Massachusetts and New Hampshire. He graduated from Yale University class of 1966 with a political science major. Kerry enlisted in the Naval Reserve in 1966, and during 1968–1969 served an abbreviated four-month tour of duty in South Vietnam as officer-in-charge (OIC) of a Swift Boat. For that service, he was awarded combat medals that include the Silver Star Medal, Bronze Star Medal, and three Purple Heart Medals. Securing an early return to the United States, Kerry joined the Vietnam Veterans Against the War organization in which he served as a nationally recognized spokesman and as an outspoken opponent of the Vietnam War.

In a quiet house there was a dog named Bentley. Bentley was a little brown puppy and he was always getting into trouble. One day Bentley got outside and walked down the street. He found a trash can and started to dig through it. A cat came also to see what Bentley was doing. "Excuse me, but what are you looking for?" asked the cat. "Well, nothing important," Bentley told the cat. "I wanted to see if there was anything cool in there." The cat told Bentley that his name was Felix and asked if he could dig through the trash too. "Sure thing" Bentley told the cat. The two of them started to dig through the trash again. After a little bit the pair got bored and started to walk down the street going away from Bentley's house. They walked to a river and went to the edge of the water. They saw they were dirty because they had been digging in the trash so they went into the water to wash themselves.

The Louvre () or the Louvre Museum is the world's largest art museum and an historic monument in Paris, France. A central landmark of the city, it is located on the Right Bank of the Seine in the city's 1st arrondissement (district or ward). Approximately 38,000 objects from prehistory to the 21st century are exhibited over an area of 72,735 square metres (782,910 square feet). The Louvre in 2016 was the world's most visited art museum, receiving 7.3 million visitors. The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace, originally built as a fortress in the late 12th century under Philip II. Remnants of the fortress are visible in the basement of the museum. Due to the urban expansion of the city, the fortress eventually lost its defensive function and, in 1546, was converted by Francis I into the main residence of the French Kings. The building was extended many times to form the present Louvre Palace. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles for his household, leaving the Louvre primarily as a place to display the royal collection, including, from 1692, a collection of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. In 1692, the building was occupied by the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres and the Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture, which in 1699 held the first of a series of salons. The Académie remained at the Louvre for 100 years. During the French Revolution, the National Assembly decreed that the Louvre should be used as a museum to display the nation's masterpieces.

(CNN) -- Michael Jordan once summed up his social and political activism in four simple words: "Republicans buy sneakers, too." In a world where athletes and celebrities seem more willing to attach their names to high-priced sneakers and headphones than real-world issues, many are thrusting themselves directly into an uncomfortable national debate over police brutality and racial injustice. It's not only people with prominent names; there are medical students, congressional staffers, a university president and even a Northern California police chief. A spate of controversial police slayings of unarmed black men served as the catalyst. But the case of Eric Garner, a New York grandfather who was put in a fatal chokehold by a police officer trying to arrest him for selling cigarettes illegally, has resonated with whites and nonwhites alike. Commentators across the political spectrum have united to condemn last week's decision by a grand jury not to indict white New York Police Officer Daniel Pantaleo in Garner's death, which was captured on a video seen around the globe. According to Pantaleo's lawyer, the officer says he didn't use a chokehold on Garner. The outpouring started in earnest one week before the New York decision, with the long-awaited announcement of a grand jury's decision not to indict Ferguson, Missouri, Police Officer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed teen Michael Brown. That decision was met with violent demonstrations in Ferguson and largely peaceful protests throughout the nation. On November 3, five St. Louis Rams players infuriated some people with a silent message before a game against the Oakland Raiders. Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt walked onto the field and raised their palms in the air, demonstrating the "hands up, don't shoot" gesture protesters in Ferguson had been using for months. Q: On what date did a football team protest by raising their palms? A: November 3 Q: Which team participated? A: the St. Louis Rams Q: Was it the entire team? A: no Q: How many members? A: five Q: What were their names? A: Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt Q: What did their gesture represent? A: "hands up, don't shoot" Q: Where did that gesture originate? A: Ferguson Q: Who died in Ferguson, Missouri to initiate protests? A: Michael Brown Q: Who was he shot by? A: Darren Wilson Q: What profession did Darren Wilson have? A: Police Officer Q: Was Michael Brown armed? A: unarmed Q: How old was he? A: a teen Q: Who died as a result of a fatal chokehold? A: Eric Garner Q: Who placed him in the hold/ A: a police officer Q: Why was Garner being arrested? A: for selling cigarettes illegally Q: Was that officer convicted? A: no Q: What was that officer's name? A: Daniel Pantaleo Q: Was there a video of the incident? A: yes Q: Was Michael Brown's killer convicted? A: no Q: What race were both victims? A: black Q: Were either of them armed? A: no

CHAPTER II THE CHURCH PARADE It was raining hard when I climbed into the dog-cart and rattled away into the darkness, while somewhat to my surprise Robert the Devil, or Devilish Bob, as those who had the care of him called the bay horse, played no antics on the outward journey, which was safely accomplished. So leaving him at the venerable "Swan," I hurried through the miry streets toward the church. They were thronged with pale-faced men and women who had sweated out their vigor in the glare of red furnace, dye-shop, and humming mill, but there was no lack of enthusiasm. I do not think there are any cities in the world with the same public spirit and pride in local customs that one may find in the grimy towns of Lancashire. The enthusiasm is, however, part of their inhabitants' nature, and has nothing to do with the dismal surroundings. A haze of smoke had mingled with the rain; yellow gas jets blinked through it, though it would not be dark for an hour or so yet; and the grim, smoke-blackened houses seemed trickling with water. Still every one laughed and chattered with good-humored expectancy, even the many who had no umbrellas. It was hard work to reach the church, though I opined that all the multitude did not intend to venture within, and when once I saw my uncle with a wand in his hand I carefully avoided him. Martin Lorimer was a power and well liked in that town, but I had not driven ten miles to assist him. Then I waited among the jostling crowd in a fever of impatience, wondering whether Miss Carrington had yet gone in, until at last I saw the Colonel marching through the throng, which--and knowing the temperament of our people I wondered at it--made way for him. There were others of the party behind, and my heart leaped at the sight of Grace. She was walking beside Captain Ormond, who smiled down at her. Q: Does this town have a cheerful appearance? A: no Q: Does that make the inhabitants unhappy? A: no Q: Who is pulling the cart? A: Robert the Devil Q: Does he have another name? A: Devilish Bob Q: What color is he? A: pale Q: Does he act devilish on the trip out? A: no Q: Where doe the narrator drop him off? A: church Q: Where does the narrator continue to after dropping him off at the Swan? A: church Q: Does he proceed slowly? A: no Q: Are the streets clean and dry? A: no Q: What's the weather like? A: rain Q: Is the precipitation light? A: no Q: Are there lots of folks in the street when he arrives at his destination? A: yes Q: What is their mood? A: good-humored Q: Are they all protected from the downpour? A: no Q: Are they all planning to go into the building? A: no Q: Who does the narrator see? A: uncle Q: Does he greet him? A: no Q: Who is he looking for? A: Miss Carrington Q: Who does the crowd move aside for? A: Colonel

CHAPTER IV OF THE WAYS OF CHARMION; AND OF THE CROWNING OF HARMACHIS AS THE KING OF LOVE On the following day I received the writing of my appointment as Astrologer and Magician-in-Chief to the Queen, with the pay and perquisites of that office, which were not small. Rooms were given me in the palace, also, through which I passed at night to the high watch-tower, whence I looked on the stars and drew their auguries. For at this time Cleopatra was much troubled about matters political, and not knowing how the great struggle among the Roman factions would end, but being very desirous to side with the strongest, she took constant counsel with me as to the warnings of the stars. These I read to her in such manner as best seemed to fit the high interest of my ends. For Antony, the Roman Triumvir, was now in Asia Minor, and, rumour ran, very wroth because it had been told him that Cleopatra was hostile to the Triumvirate, in that her General, Serapion, had aided Cassius. But Cleopatra protested loudly to me and others that Serapion had acted against her will. Yet Charmion told me that, as with Allienus, it was because of a prophecy of Dioscorides the unlucky that the Queen herself had secretly ordered Serapion so to do. Still, this did not save Serapion, for to prove to Antony that she was innocent she dragged the General from the sanctuary and slew him. Woe be to those who carry out the will of tyrants if the scale should rise against them! And so Serapion perished. Q: What was one appointment receive A: Astrologer Q: And? A: Magician-in-Chief Q: Where did he get lodgings? A: in the palace Q: What did he do in the watch-tower? A: looked on the stars Q: Who was bothered by politics? A: Cleopatra Q: Who did she want to become ally with? A: the strongest Q: What council did she seek from "me"? A: as to the warnings of the stars Q: Where was the Roman Triumvir? A: in Asia Minor, Q: What was his name? A: Antony Q: Who was Cleopatra's General? A: Serapion Q: Who did he assist? A: Cassius. Q: Who went against her wishes? A: Serapion Q: Was she calm about it when speaking to "me"? A: no Q: What did she do to prove her innocence to the Roman? A: she dragged the General from the sanctuary and slew him.

Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there's always a temptation to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character, and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to go against the temptation. Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topics. The book focuses on big questions: What has science uncovered about human nature? What are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while others aren't? To answer these questions, Brooks studies a wide range of disciplines . Considering this, you might expect the book to be a simple description of facts. But Brooks has formed his book in an unusual, and perhaps unfortunate way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader's attention. So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters. On the whole, Brooks' story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, the chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks' attempt to translate his tale into science. Q: Is Brook's story uninspired? A: Yes Q: Does the author like it when Harold discovers how to think on his own?

Bavaria, officially the Free State of Bavaria is a landlocked federal state of Germany, occupying its southeastern corner. With an area of 70,550.19 square kilometres (27,200 sq mi), Bavaria is the largest German state by land area. Its territory comprises roughly a fifth of the total land area of Germany. With 12.9 million inhabitants, it is Germany's second-most-populous state (after North Rhine-Westphalia). Bavaria's capital and largest city, Munich, is the third largest city in Germany. The history of Bavaria stretches from its earliest settlement and formation as a duchy in the 6th century CE (AD) through the Holy Roman Empire to becoming an independent kingdom and finally a state of the Federal Republic of Germany. The Duchy of Bavaria dates back to the year 555. In the 17th century CE (AD), the Duke of Bavaria became a Prince-elector of the Holy Roman Empire. The Kingdom of Bavaria existed from 1806 to 1918, when Bavaria became a republic. In 1946, the Free State of Bavaria re-organised itself on democratic lines after the Second World War. Bavaria has a unique culture, largely because of the state's Catholic majority (52%) and conservative traditions. Bavarians have traditionally been proud of their culture, which includes festivals such as Oktoberfest and elements of Alpine symbolism. The state also has the second largest economy among the German states by GDP figures, giving it a status as a rather wealthy German region. Q: Which festival does Bavaria celebrate?

Joplin, Missouri (CNN) -- A Missouri mother said Thursday that her 16-year-old son was killed by this week's powerful tornado, one of scores who have been confirmed dead even as authorities try to track down many others who are considered missing. Michelle Hare told CNN that her son Lantz, who was ripped from a car Sunday night by winds exceeding 200 mph in Joplin, is dead and his body has been located. In the wrenching hours and days since the tornado, the boy's father, Mike Hare, said he'd searched hospitals and continually called his son's cell phone, getting no answer. "It rang for the first day and a half, and now it goes straight to voice mail. But just in case he gets it, I want him to know his dad loves him," the father said earlier this week. Lantz Hare was among those on the list, released Thursday by the Missouri Department of Public Safety, of 232 people from the southwest Missouri city for whom missing persons reports have been filled out. At least 126 people in Joplin had died due to the storm as of Thursday night, said Newton County Coroner Mark Bridges. That makes the tornado the single deadliest to touch down in any U.S. community since modern record-keeping began in 1950. The Hares were among many around Joplin, still desparately searching for missing loved ones and clinging to hope. Christina, Caleb and Robert Hayward, for instance, have not seen their mother since the tornado. "She went for pizza and never came back. It was three, four hours, and we knew," Robert Hayward said Wednesday. "We all miss her. She was a great person. She didn't deserve this at all. Any one of us would trade places with her."
