Problem:Even though electronic espionage may cost U.S. firms billions of dollars a year, most aren't yet taking precautions, the experts said. By contrast, European firms will spend $150 million this year on electronic security, and are expected to spend $1 billion by 1992. Already many foreign firms, especially banks, have their own cryptographers, conference speakers reported. Still, encrypting corporate communications is only a partial remedy. One expert, whose job is so politically sensitive that he spoke on condition that he wouldn't be named or quoted, said the expected influx of East European refugees over the next few years will greatly increase the chances of computer-maintenance workers, for example, doubling as foreign spies. Moreover, he said, technology now exists for stealing corporate secrets after they've been "erased" from a computer's memory. He said that Oliver North of Iran-Contra notoriety thought he had erased his computer but that the information was later retrieved for congressional committees to read. No personal computer, not even the one on a chief executive's desk, is safe, this speaker noted. W. Mark Goode, president of Micronyx Inc., a Richardson, Texas, firm that makes computer-security products, provided a new definition for Mikhail Gorbachev's campaign for greater openness, known commonly as glasnost. Under Mr. Gorbachev, Mr. Goode said, the Soviets are openly stealing Western corporate communications. He cited the case of a Swiss oil trader who recently put out bids via telex for an oil tanker to pick up a cargo of crude in the Middle East. Among the responses the Swiss trader got was one from the Soviet national shipping company, which hadn't been invited to submit a bid. The Soviets' eavesdropping paid off, however, because they got the contract. <sep>What is the full name of the man who claimed that the Soviets are openly stealing Western corporate communications?<sep>Mikhail Gorbachev
Solution: | No |

See one example below:
Problem: Timothy likes to play sports. He spends his time after school playing basketball and baseball. Sometimes Timothy pretends he is a famous baseball pitcher for his favorite team with his friends. He plays with his friends Mandy and Andrew. Timothy also plays pretend when he is alone. He has an imaginary friend named Sean. Sean is an elephant who watches television with Timothy. Mandy likes playing baseball but she also likes to paint. Mandy's favorite class at school is art. She likes making pictures of flowers. Her teacher says she is a good artist. She painted a picture of a tree for her teacher. There were red and yellow leaves on it. It had apples on it. When Andrew goes home after baseball, he likes to eat a snack. He eats carrots and bananas. If he is a good boy his mom, Mrs. Smith, sometimes gives him milk and cookies. Afterwards, Andrew finishes his homework. <sep>Who does Timothy play with?<sep>Basketball and baseball
Solution: No
Explanation: Based on the passage Timothy plays with his friends Mandy and Andrew. So, the given answer is incorrect and the output should be "No".
Problem: Mr. Andrews pointed to one of the oak chairs. "You sit there," he commanded, "it's reserved for members of the bar, but it's all right. You're with ME." Distinctly annoyed, slightly bewildered, the banker sank between the arms of a chair. He felt he had lost his individuality. Andrews had become his sponsor. Because of Andrews he was tolerated. Because Andrews had a pull he was permitted to sit as an equal among police-court lawyers. No longer was he Arnold Thorndike. He was merely the man "with Mr. Andrews." Then even Andrews abandoned him. "The judge'll be here in a minute, now," said the assistant district attorney, and went inside a railed enclosure in front of the judge's bench. There he greeted another assistant district attorney whose years were those of even greater indiscretion than the years of Mr. Andrews. Seated on the rail, with their hands in their pockets and their backs turned to Mr. Thorndike, they laughed and talked together. The subject of their discourse was one Mike Donlin, as he appeared in vaudeville. To Mr. Thorndike it was evident that young Andrews had entirely forgotten him. He arose, and touched his sleeve. With infinite sarcasm Mr. Thorndike began: "My engagements are not pressing, but—" A court attendant beat with his palm upon the rail. "Sit down!" whispered Andrews. "The judge is coming." Mr. Thorndike sat down. The court attendant droned loudly words Mr. Thorndike could not distinguish. There was a rustle of silk, and from a door behind him the judge stalked past. <sep>Why was Arnold tolerated among the police-court lawyers?<sep>He was a banker
Solution: | No |

Question: Since the enactment of Colorado Amendment 64 in November 2012, adults aged 21 or older can grow up to six marijuana plants (with no more than half being mature flowering plants) privately in a locked space, legally possess all marijuana from the plants they grow (as long as it stays where it was grown), legally possess up to one ounce of marijuana while traveling, and give as a gift up to one ounce to other citizens 21 years of age or older. Any adult in Colorado's territory may possess up to one ounce of marijuana at any time, regardless of whether they are an in-state resident or an out-of-state visitor, as of 2016. Retail concentrate/edible limits are as follows: 8g of retail concentrate will be equal to 1oz of flower, and therefore 800mg of THC in the form of retail edibles will be equal to 1oz of retail flower. Consumption is permitted in a manner similar to alcohol, with equivalent offenses prescribed for driving. Consumption in public was recently passed in Denver under Ordinance 300 with a vote of 53% for legal public consumption, and a 46% vote against. Within 60 days the new rules will be written and should be similar to current public alcohol consumption rules and regulations. Amendment 64 also provides for licensing of cultivation facilities, product manufacturing facilities, testing facilities, and retail stores. Visitors and tourists in Colorado can use and purchase marijuana, but face prosecution if found in possession in any adjacent state. Denver airport has banned all possession of marijuana but admits it has not charged a single person with possession nor has the airport seized any marijuana since the ban went into effect.

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

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

Lee Harvey Oswald's casket (Photo: WFAA)
FORT WORTH -- A judge has ruled that the original casket Lee Harvey Oswald was buried in belongs to his brother, Robert.
Judge Don Cosby made the decision on Friday and said Baumgardner Funeral Home acted "maliciously" by auctioning off the casket for $87,468 a few years ago.
That same amount must now be paid in damages to Robert Oswald by the funeral home, the judge said.

Lee Harvey Oswald was buried in the casket days after allegedly assassinating President John F. Kennedy in 1963. He was exhumed in 1981 to make sure he was actually buried in the casket, and the $300 pine box was too damaged for re-burial.
While Oswald's family thought the casket had been thrown away, it had actually been kept in storage and eventually auctioned off by Baumgardner Funeral Home in 2010.
Once Robert Oswald found out, he filed a lawsuit. Throughout the trial the funeral home's attorney claimed Robert Oswald had purchased the casket as a gift and never actually owned it.
Oswald's attorney Gant Grimes says the casket will be destroyed, but he isn't sure when.
"From the moment we filed suit, to closing arguments and to today, the sooner we can get that casket destroyed, the sooner [Robert Oswald] will be able to go on with his life," Grimes said after Friday's ruling.

This file photo shows reporters that were enlisted to act as pall bearers at the interment of Lee Harvey Oswald at the Shannon Rose Hill Cemetery in Fort Worth, Texas. A Tarrant County judge on Friday,... (Associated Press)
Robert Oswald had bought the pine bluff casket for his brother, whose body was exhumed in 1981 amid conspiracy theories that it did not contain Lee Harvey Oswald's body. After a Dallas hospital confirmed the body through dental records, it was reburied, but not in the original casket, which was too water-damaged.
Oswald's family says it thought the original casket had been thrown away, but the funeral home actually kept it in storage before selling it at auction — along with Lee Harvey Oswald's death certificate and the embalming tools and table used in his burial — to an anonymous buyer.
Oswald's brother, Robert, sued Baumgardner Funeral Home after it sold the coffin through an auction house in Santa Monica, California. The auction house still has the coffin, because the lawsuit had put the sale of the coffin on hold. The sale was never completed, the judgment says.
In addition to returning the casket to Robert Oswald, the funeral home must pay him $87,468 in damages, a Tarrant County judge ruled, saying its conduct was "wrongful, wanton and malicious."
It also must pay the auction house more than $10,000 in storage fees.
The funeral home also must cover the expense of transporting the coffin from California to Texas, where the family plans to destroy it, according to Oswald's attorney, Gant Grimes.
Lee Harvey Oswald, accused of assassinating President John F. Kennedy in Dallas in 1963, was fatally shot during a jail transfer two days after Kennedy's death. Although Oswald was never put on trial, authorities concluded he was the killer.
Oswald had said he did not know the coffin still existed until he read in a Texas newspaper in December 2010 that it had been put up for sale.
The family-run funeral home's attorney, Brett Myers, maintained throughout the suit that Oswald never owned the coffin, but rather gifted it to his deceased brother.
"We're looking at options for appeal from the perspective of, 'Did the Baumgardners do what the court said they did?' I don't think they did," Myers said. |||||
Output: | Lee Harvey Oswald's original casket is no longer in limbo. A Texas judge has ruled that it belongs to his brother and not to the funeral home that tried to sell it as death memorabilia. Fort Worth Judge Don Cosby ruled that the Baumgardner Funeral Home acted "maliciously" when it sold the casket at auction a few years ago for about $87,000, reports WFAA. The sale was put on hold, however, when brother Robert Oswald got wind of it and filed a legal challenge. Now the pine coffin will go to Robert, and the funeral home must pay him the $87,000 it nearly made in profit. The AP provides the back story on the coffin: It was raised in 1981 to settle conspiracy theories that Oswald was, in fact, buried inside it. When tests confirmed he was, his body was reburied in a different coffin because the original had too much water damage. Robert Oswald assumed it had been destroyed until he read about it being put up for sale in 2010. His attorney said yesterday that the coffin will be destroyed as soon as possible. (Reporters were enlisted as pall bearers at Oswald's burial.) |

Timothy likes to play sports. He spends his time after school playing basketball and baseball. Sometimes Timothy pretends he is a famous baseball pitcher for his favorite team with his friends. He plays with his friends Mandy and Andrew. Timothy also plays pretend when he is alone. He has an imaginary friend named Sean. Sean is an elephant who watches television with Timothy. Mandy likes playing baseball but she also likes to paint. Mandy's favorite class at school is art. She likes making pictures of flowers. Her teacher says she is a good artist. She painted a picture of a tree for her teacher. There were red and yellow leaves on it. It had apples on it. When Andrew goes home after baseball, he likes to eat a snack. He eats carrots and bananas. If he is a good boy his mom, Mrs. Smith, sometimes gives him milk and cookies. Afterwards, Andrew finishes his homework. <sep>Who does Timothy play with?<sep>Basketball and baseball
Solution: No
Why? Based on the passage Timothy plays with his friends Mandy and Andrew. So, the given answer is incorrect and the output should be "No".
New input: Although Bin Laden, Atef, and KSM initially contemplated using established al Qaeda members to execute the planes operation, the late 1999 arrival in Kandahar of four aspiring jihadists from Germany suddenly presented a more attractive alternative. The Hamburg group shared the anti-U.S. fervor of the other candidates for the operation, but added the enormous advantages of fluency in English and familiarity with life in the West, based on years that each member of the group had spent living in Germany. Not surprisingly, Mohamed Atta, Ramzi Binalshibh, Marwan al Shehhi, and Ziad Jarrah would all become key players in the 9/11 conspiracy. Mohamed Atta was born on September 1, 1968, in Kafr el Sheikh, Egypt, to a middle-class family headed by his father, an attorney. After graduating from Cairo University with a degree in architectural engineering in 1990, Atta worked as an urban planner in Cairo for a couple of years. In the fall of 1991, he asked a German family he had met in Cairo to help him continue his education in Germany. They suggested he come to Hamburg and invited him to live with them there, at least initially. After completing a course in German, Atta traveled to Germany for the first time in July 1992. He resided briefly in Stuttgart and then, in the fall of 1992, moved to Hamburg to live with his host family. After enrolling at the University of Hamburg, he promptly transferred into the city engineering and planning course at the Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg, where he would remain registered as a student until the fall of 1999. He appears to have applied himself fairly seriously to his studies (at least in comparison to his jihadist friends) and actually received his degree shortly before traveling to Afghanistan. In school, Atta came across as very intelligent and reasonably pleasant, with an excellent command of the German language. When Atta arrived in Germany, he appeared religious, but not fanatically so. This would change, especially as his tendency to assert leadership became increasingly pronounced. According to Binalshibh, as early as 1995 Atta sought to organize a Muslim student association in Hamburg. In the fall of 1997, he joined a working group at the Quds mosque in Hamburg, a group designed to bridge the gap between Muslims and Christians. Atta proved a poor bridge, however, because of his abrasive and increasingly dogmatic personality. But among those who shared his beliefs, Atta stood out as a decisionmaker. <sep>Who was a student at Technical University of Hamburg-Harburg until 1999?<sep>Mohamed Atta

Problem: In the rest of the world, China's supreme sage, Kongfuzi (K'ung Fu-tzu), is better known by the romanized name "Confucius." He was born in 551 b.c. in what is now Shandong Province in eastern China. So profound was his influence that eleven Chinese emperors made pilgrimages to the birthplace of the Great Teacher. You, too, can pay your respects at the vast temple raised on the site of his home in the small town of Qufu (Chufu), and at his tomb in the woods just to the north. The classics of Confucius, while seldom addressing spiritual and metaphysical matters, set standards for social and political conduct that still underlie many of the Chinese ways of doing and perceiving. Confucius laid great stress on the proper and harmonious relationships between ruler and subject, parent and child, teacher and student, the individual and the state. These relationships were deemed to be hierarchical and dictatorial. If the order was disturbed, dire consequences inevitably resulted. The son who disobeyed the father would bring disaster upon himself and his family, just as the emperor who defied the "mandate of heaven" or ignored the good of the empire brought ruin upon the nation. Over the centuries Confucius has suffered more changes of fortune than probably any other philosopher. Honored soon after his death as the greatest of scholars, he was later revered as semi-divine; you can still visit temples to Confucius in many Chinese cities. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), however, he was denounced as a counter-revolutionary force. It was only after the death of Chairman Mao (1976) and the opening of China to the outside world under more progressive reformers that Confucius, too, was "rehabilitated." Unlike Confucius, about whose life many specific and even colorful details are known, the philosopher Laozi (Lao Tse or Lao-Tzu) is an enigma. Estimates of his date of birth vary by well over a century. One legend even says he taught the young Confucius. Laozi is immortalized by his book of thoughts on man, nature, and the universe, Daodejing ("The Way and Its Power"), which became the major text of China's greatest indigenous religion, Daoism (Taoism). With its emphasis on nature, intuition, the individual, paradox ("The knowledge which is not knowledge"), and the cosmic flow known as "The Way," Daoism became the religion of artists and philosophers. After the death of Confucius, the Zhou Dynasty entered a period of strife known as the "Warring States" period (475–221 b.c.). <sep>What kind of relationships did Confucius say must be hierarchical and dictorial, and if they are not what would happen?<sep>Teacher and student

After one week away with her husband and two children, Tiger Woods' wife Elin flew home to Orlando Saturday night, RadarOnline.com learned exclusively.
PHOTOS: Elin's Plane Arrives In Orlando
The private jet carrying Elin arrived in Orlando from Arizona at approximately 8 pm EST. The week away with Tiger was the most time she has spent with him since after Thanksgiving when his secret serial cheating was exposed.
Although she has returned to their home town, there is no indication Elin plans to move back in with her husband. They have not lived together in months, although she did put the divorce on hold.
PHOTOS: Elin Takes Daughter Shopping
As RadarOnline.com exclusively revealed, Tiger had pre-planned this week away with his family prior to his televised apology to them and his fans. The couple played tennis together before that apology and had dinner together two nights in a row, but Elin refused to sit for an official family portrait, something Tiger lobbied hard for.
Elin Refused To Sit For Family Portrait Before Tiger's Apology
Tiger previously spent six weeks in the Gentle Path program for sexual addiction at the Pine Grove Behavioral Health Center in Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
EXCLUSIVE: Tiger Woods In Rehab ||||| It was surreptitiously snapped from a distance: dark, grainy and out of focus, the subject shrouded in a hooded sweatshirt. Still, the photo of Tiger Woods at a Hattiesburg, Miss., rehabilitation clinic in late January offered clarity.
Despite the lack of official confirmation -- and the bizarre photo days later of a person dressed to resemble him -- there was no doubt it was Woods. It was surreal to see him again some 50 days after his world imploded, but after a pause, the photo also signified something hopeful.
Woods had not been caught in the type of escapade that salacious elements of the blogosphere had connected him to on a nearly daily basis. Nor had he stayed ensconced behind the walls of one of his homes, paralyzed by embarrassment. Woods had submitted to humbling psychological treatment in an effort to save his marriage and to gain an understanding of the demons that drove him to serial infidelity. Though he surely understands that many will never forgive him, he knows moving on means finding a way to forgive himself.
Those close to Woods said his mantra going into therapy and continuing forward is "whatever it takes," and that he is determined to follow the guidance of experts as rigorously as he did his doctors during his eight-month rehabilitation from knee surgery in 2008. After an initial evaluation period in January, Woods entered a six-week program called Gentle Path, euphemistically named considering it includes a nothing-held-back Disclosure Day with a spouse.
According to friends, Woods has not hit a ball since winning the Australian Masters two weeks before his scandal was set in motion by his single-car accident outside his Orlando residence on Nov. 27, but he was said to be missing golf. After emerging from rehab, it was expected that Woods would take time alone with his wife. If that were to go well, it would undoubtedly help his psychological health. If it didn't, more uncertainty would ensue. By mid-February there was no indication whether he intended to play in the Masters. Woods knows the level of scrutiny and commentary will be unprecedented when he returns to golf, so getting his mind and body right will be paramount. He also remembers he underestimated the amount of time he needed after Earl Woods' death in May 2006, when he missed the cut at the U.S. Open in his comeback.
In the short-term, Woods is channeling all his energies to battle a formidable foe: shame. It's an emotion he was made acutely sensitive to in his upbringing, which emphasized presenting a proud exterior to the world. As a little boy, his punishment from his mother, Tida, was more likely to be strict if he had misbehaved in public. "You will not embarrass me," she recalls telling him. "I will not have a spoiled child." As Woods grew older, there were times when he would inwardly cringe at some of the public pronouncements about him by his father. However, he never rebuked Earl or complained about him in front of other people. In public, Woods has always sought to be noncontroversial, both in what he says and how he acts. After a magazine article in 1997 quoted him telling sophomoric jokes, it was the shame from that portrayal that made him resolve to be less candid with the media, a stance he has never relaxed.
For a person from such a background to have the lurid details of his illicit sex life become part of the national conversation is traumatic in the extreme. It must have been particularly horrifying to comprehend how quickly he went from being a respected figure whose word the public implicitly trusted to a person who could not be believed. The most stunning example was the condemnation and suspicion he faced when it was revealed in December that Dr. Anthony Galea, who had performed approved "blood spinning" therapy on Woods' left knee the previous spring, was being investigated for allegedly dispensing human growth hormone to athletes. Prior to Woods' troubles, suggestions that he might have taken performance-enhancing drugs could have been scoffed at. But post-scandal, there was immediate and widespread speculation, none of which has gained momentum.
Perhaps most painful for Woods was the breathtaking collateral damage suffered by those most loyal to him. The wounds he inflicted on his marriage could be irreparable, and if so it will mean a lifelong regret for his family. He has indeed embarrassed his 65-year-old mother as never before, even causing her to be stalked by paparazzi. His good friend from childhood, Bryon Bell, became part of the scandal after it was revealed he had bought a plane ticket for one of the women with whom Woods had an ongoing affair. With income and business partnerships reduced after several corporations quickly opted to drop Woods as an endorser, his employees are facing an uncertain future in a down economy. He has cost his major charity, the Tiger Woods Learning Center, incalculable amounts in future donations. He has harmed the PGA Tour's leverage in its business negotiations and, by extension, the potential earnings of fellow players. Golf itself has come under more ridicule because of the travails of Woods.
In short, it has been a nightmare. No doubt Woods has undergone guilt-ridden meltdowns in which he resembled Robert De Niro as boxer Jake La Motta, pounding his head and fists against a jailhouse wall in a quickening cadence matched by the repeated question, "What'd I do? What'd I do?"
The emotional toll will present a significant challenge to Woods' eventual return to golf. His greatest advantage as a player has long been the otherworldly knack for playing his best when he needed to most. It came with a clean mind free of baggage, serene under pressure. It was an ability he believed he earned through diligent practice on the right things. One that made him feel crucial eight-footers on the 72nd green deserved to go in, one that made him feel good about himself. "If you walk up to a mirror, look at yourself and say, with no hesitation, 'I love myself,' then everything is fine," he told me during an interview in 1999. "That has never been a problem my entire life." Now, however, it's reasonable to surmise that it is. |||||
Output: | Tiger Woods and wife Elin Nordegren may have actually spent a few hours under the same roof—albeit a roof belonging to a sex rehab halfway house. Woods is back in therapy after spending six weeks at Mississippi’s Pine Grove center, but he’s moved to a private home—possibly belonging to Pine Grove’s owner—in Cave Creek, Ariz., for private sessions. “Elin was with him, but she’s heading back to Florida,” a source tells the New York Post. She returned to Florida via private jet Saturday night after spending a week with Tiger and their two children, according to Radar. During their time together—their longest since Thanksgiving—they played tennis and ate dinner together at least twice, but Nordegren nixed her husband's request to sit for a family portrait.

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: New Zealand's Prime Minister John Key on Monday announced a program to make the Pacific Ocean nation "predator free" by 2050, ridding its islands entirely of invasive species that are a threat to endemic birds and other native species. The project would be the first of its kind in the world.
A press release from the ruling National Party, which Key leads, says the government will put almost $20 million a year of new money — on top of more than $40 million that already goes into pest control annually — into various projects targeted at wiping out three species: rats, stoats and possums.
According to the Guardian , pest-control methods currently employed include trapping, ground baiting and hunting. Controversially, New Zealand also drops from the air the poison sodium fluoroacetate, also known as 1080, although conservationists hope that the new initiative will involve trying out alternative approaches.
We've launched Predator Free NZ, a world-first project to eliminate rats, possums and stoats in NZ by 2050.https://t.co/zYMutlkX4L - John Key (@RtHon_JohnKey) July 25, 2016
The prime minister says the three species — which are only found in New Zealand through human agency, some having arrived on trading ships, for instance — kill 25 million native birds a year and also prey on ground species such as lizards.
“Our ambition is that by 2050 every single part of New Zealand will be completely free of rats, stoats and possums," says Key in the statement. “This is the most ambitious conservation project attempted anywhere in the world, but we believe if we all work together as a country we can achieve it.” ||||| The government has announced its intention to make New Zealand predator-free by 2050.
Prime Minister John Key said rats, possums and stoats kill 25 million native birds a year.
He said the introduced pests also threatened the country's economy and primary sector with a total cost of $3.3 billion a year.
More than 7000 hectares of the New Zealand mainland as well as more than 150 offshore islands were now completely free of predators, Mr Key said.
In addition a further 1 million hectares of conservation land were under sustained predator control.
The government will invest $28 million in a new joint venture company called Predator Free New Zealand Ltd.

The company will be responsible for identifying large, high-value predator control projects and attracting co-investors.
It will be set up by the beginning of next year.
The government will look to provide funding on a two-for-one basis, so for every $2 that local councils and the private sector put in the government will contribute another $1.
"This is the most ambitious conservation project attempted anywhere in the world, but we believe if we all work together as a country we can achieve it," Mr Key said.
The prime minister said the project was "hugely ambitious" and would be broken down into stages.
The first stage would increase the amount of the country covered by predator control; establish regional partnerships and support community initiatives; establish more areas of complete elimination as a base to build from and invest in new science.
By 2025 the project aims to have all introduced predators eradicated from all offshore island nature reserves and have 1 million more hectares of mainland New Zealand where predators are suppressed.
Mr Key said by 2025 this would show that complete predator eradication could be achieved in areas of at least 20,000 hectares on the New Zealand mainland and it is hoped a breakthrough scientific solution would by then be available capable of removing at least one small mammal predator from the mainland entirely.
These were steps, he said, to achieve the ultimate goal of making New Zealand predator-free by 2050.
Conservation Minister Maggie Barry said fencing off parts of the country was one solution, but would be the wrong way to achieve the goal nationally.
"To achieve this Apollo walk of ours, we need to make all of New Zealand predator free and we need to do some of it without fences, using technology that doesn't even exist at the moment.
"The predator-proof fences is certainly where it started, but it isn't where it will end."
Ms Barry said the poison 1080 would still have to be used to get to hard to reach places.
"It is always going to be the weapon of choice to get rid of these vermin in the very steep country.
"These are very steep rugged terrains that 1080 is used in, where traditional trapping methods are unacceptable and don't work, this will not just be about 1080 though."
Mr Key said family cats like his pet Moonbeam, would be safe, but feral cats' days were numbered.
"Feral cats on the DOC estate will be targeted as part of Predator Free New Zealand, but in terms of the domestic moggy, they have plenty of years in front of the fire at home."
The project will combine the resources of the Department of Conservation and the Ministry for Primary Industries to work with local communities.
Primary Industries Minister Nathan Guy said the goal of a predator free New Zealand would have positive impacts for farmers and the wider primary sector.
"Possums and ferrets are the main carriers of bovine TB, which is a very destructive disease for cattle and deer. In this year's Budget the government committed $100 million towards combined eradication efforts with industry starting with cattle and deer by 2026," Mr Guy said.
Predator Free New Zealand Ltd will have a board of directors made up of government, private sector and scientific representatives. ||||| Possums, stoats and other introduced pests to be killed in ‘world-first’ extermination programme unveiled by PM
No more rats: New Zealand to exterminate all introduced predators
The New Zealand government has announced a “world-first” project to make the nation predator free by 2050.
The prime minister, John Key, said on Monday it would undertake a radical pest extermination programme – which if successful would be a global first – aiming to wipe out the introduced species of rats, stoats and possums nation-wide in a mere 34 years.
Jaffas and daredevils: life on the world's steepest street Read more
According to the government, introduced species kill 25m native New Zealand birds a year including the iconic ground-dwelling, flightless Kiwi, which die at a rate of 20 a week, and now number fewer than 70,000.
The government estimates the cost of introduced species to the New Zealand economy and primary sector to be NZ$3.3bn (£1.76bn) a year.
“Our ambition is that by 2050 every single part of New Zealand will be completely free of rats, stoats and possums,” said Key in a statement.
“This is the most ambitious conservation project attempted anywhere in the world, but we believe if we all work together as a country we can achieve it.”
Existing pest control methods in New Zealand include the controversial and widespread use of 1080 aerial poison drops, trapping and ground baiting, and possum hunting by ground hunters (possum fur has become a vibrant industry in New Zealand, and is used for winter clothing).
Emeritus Professor of Conservation Mick Clout from the University of Auckland said he was “excited” by the “ambitious plan” which if achieved would be a “remarkable world first”.
“Even the intention of making New Zealand predator free is hugely significant and now it has money and the government behind it I believe it is possible, I am actually very excited,” said Clout.
“The biggest challenge will be the rats and mice in urban areas. For this project to work it will need the urban communities to get on board. Possum extermination will be the easiest because they only breed once a year and there are already effective control methods in place.”
Economist and philanthropist Gareth Morgan, of the Morgan Foundation, said he was “ecstatic” about the government’s announcement.
“This is the first time the government has really swung in behind investing in New Zealand’s environmental capital,” he said.
“This is a big, ambitious project but with the government making it a priority you will see increased interest in the sector, and further exploration of innovative trapping and extermination techniques beyond toxic chemicals like 1080.”
The Royal Society of New Zealand Forest and Bird was optimistic about the country’s chances of success.
Advocacy manager Kevin Hackwell said: “I think 2050 is a conservative goal, we could be on track to doing it by 2040. The government has just come on board but many groups around New Zealand have been working towards being predator-free for years.”
“New Zealand is a world-leader in eradicating rats from the landscape. New Zealand can’t go predator free without targeting the cities so we will have to look to places like Alberta, Canada, on how to tackle rat infestation in an urban environment. But it is doable, and not that hard.
“A predator-free New Zealand has been National party policy for the last three elections, but now it has gone from being the governing party policy to becoming government policy. But National has already invested a lot of money and resources into research on this.
“The biggest hurdle in the end will be public support for the project. That will be the most important facet of this.” |||||
Student: | New Zealand could soon be the envy of New York. The country has announced a "world-first" project to exterminate all non-native pests, including possums, stoats, feral cats, and rats by 2050, reports the Guardian. Why? Well, the pests, which the government says cost $2.3 billion per year, also kill about 25 million native birds each year, including 20 Kiwis per week. Only 70,000 Kiwis are now known to exist. The Royal Society of New Zealand Forest and Bird says it's excited about the plan, though other groups have been working to eradicate the pests for years. "I think 2050 is a conservative goal, we could be on track to doing it by 2040," a rep says. Some 7,000 hectares of New Zealand are pest-free thanks to poison and strategic fencing, but "our ambition is that by 2050 every single part of New Zealand will be completely free of rats, stoats, and possums," Prime Minister John Key says, calling this the "most ambitious conservation project attempted anywhere in the world." Predator Free New Zealand—with a budget of $19.5 million per year, reports Time—will now boost pest control across the country. The hope is that technological advances will allow for at least one pest to be eradicated by 2025, reports Radio NZ. Critics fear the entire project could cost $6.2 billion, per the New Zealand Herald. |

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

Example input: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Example output: Russian Revolution
Example explanation: This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
Q: Whittaker did not become something due to choosing to be?, Context: Whittaker was unsuited for the role and soon retired. Stewart and Harlan were conservative Republicans, while Brennan was a Democrat who became a leading voice for liberalism. In selecting a Chief Justice, Eisenhower looked for an experienced jurist who could appeal to liberals in the party as well as law-and-order conservatives, noting privately that Warren "represents the kind of political, economic, and social thinking that I believe we need on the Supreme Court ... He has a national name for integrity, uprightness, and courage that, again, I believe we need on the Court". In the next few years Warren led the Court in a series of liberal decisions that revolutionized the role of the Court.
A: | retired |

Example: Powdered sugar, also called confectioners' sugar, icing sugar, and icing cake, is a finely ground sugar produced by milling granulated sugar into a powdered state. It usually contains a small amount of anti-caking agent to prevent clumping and improve flow. Although most often produced in a factory, powdered sugar can also be made by processing ordinary granulated sugar in a coffee grinder, or by crushing it by hand in a mortar and pestle.
Output: is confectionary sugar the same as powdered sugar?
The question is a yes/no question, and it is answerable based on the given passage.
New input case for you: Mal de debarquement (or mal de débarquement) syndrome (MdDS, or common name disembarkment syndrome) is a neurological condition usually occurring after a cruise, aircraft flight, or other sustained motion event. The phrase ``mal de débarquement'' is French and translates to ``illness of disembarkation''. MdDS is typically diagnosed by a neurologist or an ear nose & throat specialist when a person reports a persistent rocking, swaying, or bobbing feeling (though they are not necessarily rocking). This usually follows a cruise or other motion experience. Because most vestibular testing proves to be negative, doctors may be baffled as they attempt to diagnose the syndrome. A major diagnostic indicator is that most patients feel better while driving or riding in a car, i.e.: while in passive motion. MdDS is unexplained by structural brain or inner ear pathology and most often corresponds with a motion trigger, although it can occur spontaneously. This differs from the very common condition of ``land sickness'' that most people feel for a short time after a motion event such as a boat cruise, aircraft ride, or even a treadmill routine which may only last minutes to a few hours. The syndrome has recently received increased attention due to the number of people presenting with the condition and more scientific research has commenced to determine what triggers MdDS and how to cure it.
Output: | is it normal to have motion sickness after a cruise? |

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: The Berlin Wall (German: Berliner Mauer, pronounced (bɛʁˈliːnɐ ˈmaʊ̯ɐ) ( listen)) was a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989. Constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany), starting on 13 August 1961, the Wall cut off (by land) West Berlin from virtually all of surrounding East Germany and East Berlin until government officials opened it in November 1989. Its demolition officially began on 13 June 1990 and finished in 1992. The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, accompanied by a wide area (later known as the ``death strip'') that contained anti-vehicle trenches, ``fakir beds'' and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the ``will of the people'' in building a socialist state in East Germany.

MORRISON, Colo. (AP) — Law enforcement officers were searching for a gunman Friday after three people were shot and wounded at the end of a rap concert at the popular Red Rocks outdoor amphitheater in the foothills west of Denver.
The victims' injuries were not life-threatening, Jefferson County sheriff's spokesman Mark Techmeyer said. Their names were not released.
No arrests had been made. The shootings did not appear to be random, Techmeyer said.
Deputies were investigating a report that a man was seen with a rifle, but Techmeyer called that information "pretty sketchy."
The shootings occurred about 10:30 p.m. Thursday near the end of a performance by Nas, Schoolboy Q and Flying Lotus.
The injured people were in a white sport-utility vehicle and drove themselves from Red Rocks to a Denver intersection about 15 miles away, but it was not clear why, Techmeyer said. They were eventually stopped by Denver police and taken to a hospital.
Investigators did not know if more people had been in the SUV before police stopped it, he said.
Techmeyer didn't know how many people were at the concert, but he said investigators stopped and questioned each car as it was leaving.
Traffic was chaotic and slow, but "we had a shooter out there," he said.
Witnesses were being interviewed until the early morning hours Friday.
The Red Rocks amphitheater and surrounding park are popular with joggers and sightseers. Most of the park had reopened Friday morning, but the area of the shooting remained sealed off. ||||| Police put this man in handcuffs during an investigation into a shooting that occurred at Red Rocks Amphitheater Thursday night, June 19, 2014.

The Jefferson County Sheriff's Office was investigating a triple shooting late Thursday night that happened following a concert at Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Jefferson County Sheriff's Office spokesman Mark Techmeyer said three victims were found at 6th Avenue and Kalamath Street at about 11 p.m. by Denver police. Red Rocks was shut down afterwards, with no one being allowed in or out of the park.
"We're trying to figure out what happened," Techmeyer said.
The Sheriff's Office said the three victims were transported to Denver Health, adding that all were alive. Two other passengers were in the car, with the Sheriff's Office saying they were helping with the investigation.

No arrests have been made in the shooting, which occured in a parking lot after the concert. The show featured Nas, Schoolboy Q and Flying Lotus.
Jefferson County Sheriff's officers were searching the cars of all concertgoers. Almost two hours after the conclusion of the concert, there were still many people on the scene.
"I'm backstage; we're on lockdown waiting to leave," said Faithon Lucas, the promoter of the concert, which, among other causes, was a benefit for GRASP, a gang-rescue and support project sponsored by the Metro Denver Partners.
After the shooting, the victims apparently drove a vehicle into Denver. The vehicle, a white SUV, stopped at 6th Avenue and Kalamath Street, where Denver Police was called to the scene.

According to police officials, Denver Police has jurisdiction during concerts at Red Rocks unless a felony offense is involved, in which case it comes under the auspices of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.
Besides the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office and Denver Police, the Lakewood and Morrison Police Departments and the Colorado State Patrol were involved in the investigation.
The Red Rocks Visitors Center and amphitheatre were reopened Friday morning and the Skrillex show is scheduled to go on as planned Friday night, Red Rocks said on its Twitter account. The Trading Post and south parking lots remain closed while deputies investigate.
The office asks for anyone with information on the shooting to call its tip line at 303-271-5612. |||||

[EX Q]: In geometry, parallel lines are lines in a plane which do not meet; that is, two lines in a plane that do not intersect or touch each other at any point are said to be parallel. By extension, a line and a plane, or two planes, in three-dimensional Euclidean space that do not share a point are said to be parallel. However, two lines in three-dimensional space which do not meet must be in a common plane to be considered parallel; otherwise they are called skew lines. Parallel planes are planes in the same three-dimensional space that never meet.
[EX A]: | can a plane be parallel to a line?

Input: Baiyue's culture was different from the cultures of north and central China, with cultures recorded all the way to?, Context: The area of modern Zhejiang was outside the major sphere of influence of the Shang civilization during the second millennium BC. Instead, this area was populated by peoples collectively known as the Hundred Yue, including the Dongyue and the Ouyue. The kingdom of Yue began to appear in the chronicles and records written during the Spring and Autumn Period. According to the chronicles, the kingdom of Yue was located in northern Zhejiang. Shiji claims that its leaders were descended from the Shang founder Yu the Great. Evidence suggests that Baiyue and the kingdom of Yue possessed their own culture and history that are different from those kingdoms in north and central China, whose cultures and histories were carefully recorded in chronicles and histories during the Spring and Autumn Period and into the Qin dynasty. The Song of the Yue Boatman (Chinese: 越人歌, p Yuèrén Gē, lit. "Song of the man of Yue") was transliterated into Chinese and recorded by authors in north China or inland China of Hebei and Henan around 528 BC. The song shows that the Yue people spoke a language that was mutually unintelligible with the dialects spoken in north and inland China. The Yue peoples seem to have had their own written script. The Sword of Goujian bears bird-worm seal script. Yuenü (Chinese: 越女; pinyin: Yuènǚ; Wade–Giles: Yüeh-nü; literally: "the Lady of Yue") was a swordswoman from the state of Yue. In order to check the growth of the kingdom of Wu, Chu pursued a policy of strengthening Yue. Under King Goujian, Yue recovered from its early reverses and fully annexed the lands of its rival in 473 BC. The Yue kings then moved their capital center from their original home around Mount Kuaiji in present-day Shaoxing to the former Wu capital at present-day Suzhou. With no southern power to turn against Yue, Chu opposed it directly and, in 333 BC, succeeded in destroying it. Yue's former lands were annexed by the Qin Empire in 222 BC and organized into a commandery named for Kuaiji in Zhejiang but initially headquartered in Wu in Jiangsu.
Output: | the Qin dynasty |
Definition: You will be given a passage, and your task is to generate a Yes/No question that is answerable based on the given passage.
Input: In the Northern Hemisphere, the winter sun (December, January, February) rises in the southeast, transits the celestial meridian at a low angle in the south (more than 43° above the southern horizon in the tropics), and then sets in the southwest. It is on the south (equator) side of the house all day long. A vertical window facing south (equator side) is effective for capturing solar thermal energy. For comparison, the winter sun in the Southern Hemisphere (June, July, August) rises in the northeast, peaks out at a low angle in the north (more than halfway up from the horizon in the tropics), and then sets in the northwest. There, the north-facing window would let in plenty of solar thermal energy to the house.
Output: | does the sun rise in the west in the northern hemisphere? |

Input: The pastor of St. Aloysius church on Springfield’s north end has been granted a leave of absence after he called 911 from the rectory and told a dispatcher that he needed help getting out of handcuffs.
“I’m going to need help getting out before this becomes a medical emergency,” Father Tom Donovan told a dispatcher who sounds a bit incredulous during the Nov. 28 call.
“You’re stuck in a pair of handcuffs?” the dispatcher asks.
“(I was) playing with them and I need help getting out,” Donovan responds.
Donovan told the dispatcher that he was alone in the rectory. It’s not clear exactly how he ended up in handcuffs or why he feared a medical emergency. His voice sounds garbled or muffled on the tape, and sources say that police discovered some sort of gag on the priest when they arrived.
The diocese has been tight-lipped about the matter, saying only that Bishop Thomas Paprocki granted Donovan’s request for a leave of absence at some point before Christmas. The diocese knows about the incident, given that Brad Huff, an attorney for the diocese, has been given a copy of the 911 tape by the Sangamon County Emergency Telephone System Department. Kathie Sass, spokeswoman for the Diocese of Springfield, said that the diocese also has a copy of a police report on the matter.
Sass would not disclose Donovan’s whereabouts or say whether he is staying at a church-affiliated location.
“I wouldn’t be able to tell you where Father Donovan is,” Sass said. “There’s a matter of privacy there.”
Sass said that Donovan approached Paprocki after the incident and asked for help.
“He came to the bishop before anyone was aware of the incident,” Sass said. “He came to the bishop and asked for help and was granted leave.”
Paprocki reviewed the police report after speaking with Donovan, and the police account jibed with what the priest told the bishop, Sass said.

Bachmann said Obama waived restrictions under the Arms Export Control Act, with the result that taxpayers are “now paying to give arms to terrorists, including al Qaeda.”
Last month, the National Security Council announced that Obama waived some restrictions under the Arms Export Control Act so the U.S. could provide “non-lethal assistance inside Syria” to “protect against the use of chemical weapons.”
“This action is part of longstanding and ongoing efforts to provide life-saving chemical weapons-related assistance to people in need in Syria,” the NSC said.
The administration stressed that all the aid to the rebels would be “non-lethal” equipment such as gas masks. Many conservatives have warned against arming rebels in Syria for fear that the weapons will fall in the hands of terrorist groups in the country, including al Qaeda.
“That day President Obama waived a ban on arming terrorists in order to allow weapons to go to the Syrian opposition,” Bachmann said. “Now this is hard to believe that President Obama did that…but President Obama waived a ban on arming terrorists in order to allow weapons to go to the Syrian opposition …Your listeners, US taxpayers, are now paying to give arms to terrorists including Al Qaeda.”

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

Example input: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Example output: Russian Revolution
Example explanation: This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
Q: The Premier League is made up of?, Context: The Premier League distributes a portion of its television revenue to clubs that are relegated from the league in the form of "parachute payments". Starting with the 2013–14 season, these payments are in excess of £60 million over four seasons. Though designed to help teams adjust to the loss of television revenues (the average Premier League team receives £55 million while the average Football League Championship club receives £2 million), critics maintain that the payments actually widen the gap between teams that have reached the Premier League and those that have not, leading to the common occurrence of teams "bouncing back" soon after their relegation. For some clubs who have failed to win immediate promotion back to the Premier League, financial problems, including in some cases administration or even liquidation have followed. Further relegations down the footballing ladder have ensued for several clubs unable to cope with the gap.

Problem: Why is Strasbourg not a typical seat?, Context: In 1949, the city was chosen to be the seat of the Council of Europe with its European Court of Human Rights and European Pharmacopoeia. Since 1952, the European Parliament has met in Strasbourg, which was formally designated its official 'seat' at the Edinburgh meeting of the European Council of EU heads of state and government in December 1992. (This position was reconfirmed and given treaty status in the 1997 Treaty of Amsterdam). However, only the (four-day) plenary sessions of the Parliament are held in Strasbourg each month, with all other business being conducted in Brussels and Luxembourg. Those sessions take place in the Immeuble Louise Weiss, inaugurated in 1999, which houses the largest parliamentary assembly room in Europe and of any democratic institution in the world. Before that, the EP sessions had to take place in the main Council of Europe building, the Palace of Europe, whose unusual inner architecture had become a familiar sight to European TV audiences. In 1992, Strasbourg became the seat of the Franco-German TV channel and movie-production society Arte.

President Donald Trump did not refer to any specific comments from San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz that indicated she had “come back” from her criticism of the federal response.
Trump says San Juan mayor has 'come back a long way'
President Donald Trump said as he departed for hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico on Tuesday morning that the mayor of San Juan, who he strongly criticized over the weekend, has “come back a long way.”
San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz was outspoken last week in her pleas for more support from the federal government, criticizing the rosy recovery picture painted by acting Secretary of Homeland Security Elaine Duke and appealing directly to the president in an interview on CNN.
Story Continued Below
Although she expressed gratitude for Trump’s help and did not attack him directly, her words were enough to prompt the president into a Twitter spree in which he said the mayor had shown “such poor leadership ability.” At the outset of his Tuesday morning trip to the island, Trump suggested Cruz had begun to come around.
“Well, I think she's come back a long way. And you know, I think it's now acknowledged what a great job we've done and people are looking at that,” the president told reporters before boarding Marine One on the White House’s south lawn. “whether it's her or anybody else, they're all starting to say it. I appreciate very much the governor and his comments. He has said we have done an incredible job, and that's the truth.”
Trump did not refer to any specific comments from Cruz that indicated she had “come back” from her criticism of the federal response.
It was a significantly warmer tone toward the mayor than the president expressed over the weekend, when he wrote online that Cruz “who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump” and that she and other Puerto Rican leaders “want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort.”
The president on Tuesday praised the work of first responders and federal teams from FEMA and the military who have worked to aid Puerto Rico, but he doubled down on a complaint he issued online over the weekend, that Cruz and other Puerto Rican officials “are not able to get their workers to help.”
“Now the roads are cleared. Communication’s starting to come back. We need their truck drivers,” Trump said. “Their drivers have to start driving trucks. We have to do that. So at a local level, they have to give us more help.”
||||| President Donald Trump came face to face with San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz, who he derided on Twitter as “nasty” and lacking leadership skills.
The President and First Lady Melania Trump came to Puerto Rico on Tuesday, where they will meet with hurricane victims and participate in briefings with numerous officials, including Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló and U.S. Virgin Islands Gov. Kenneth Mapp.
According to a pool report, Trump and the Mayor exchanged greetings before the briefing. Although there was applause several times, she did not join in.
“I have accepted the invitation on behalf of the people of San Juan and out of respect for the American people represented by the Office of the President of the United States,” Cruz wrote in a statement posted on Facebook. “This is about saving lives, not about politics.”
On Saturday, Trump slammed Cruz on Twitter. “The Mayor of San Juan, who was very complimentary only a few days ago, has now been told by the Democrats that you must be nasty to Trump,” he said. “Such poor leadership ability by the Mayor of San Juan, and others in Puerto Rico, who are not able to get their workers to help. They want everything to be done for them when it should be a community effort. 10,000 Federal workers now on Island doing a fantastic job.”
The day before Trump’s Twitter spree, Cruz held a news conference in which she urged the federal government to help the U.S. island territory, and asked Trump to ensure someone from his administration is “up to the task of saving lives.”
“If anybody out there is listening, we are dying. And you are killing us with the inefficiency,” she said.
Trump said on Tuesday that Cruz has come a “long way.”
“I think it’s now acknowledged what a great job we’ve done, and people are looking at that,” he told reporters before leaving for Puerto Rico.
Trump has faced criticism beyond Cruz for his response to Puerto Rico. Rossello has called the destruction a “humanitarian disaster,” and officials estimate it will be months before the island fully regains power. The President of Oxfam America, an international organization devoted to alleviating poverty, said it is getting involved in the relief effort because of the U.S. government’s slow response.
“Oxfam rarely responds to humanitarian emergencies in the U.S. and other wealthy countries, but as the situation in Puerto Rico worsens and the federal government’s response continues to falter, Oxfam has decided to step in to lend our expertise in dealing with some of the world’s most catastrophic disasters,” Abby Maxman, President of Oxfam America, said in a statement Monday.
Cruz had said that she would be happy to meet with the President. “If he asks to meet with me, of course I would with him. I mean, you know, anything that can be done and anyone that can listen,” she said on ABC’s This Week With George Stephanopoulos last Sunday.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Monday that the administration had invited Cruz to participate in events with the President during his visit to Puerto Rico.
“This administration, as well as other members on the ground, have reached out to her. We hope that she will join with us in those efforts and be a part of things,” Sanders said. |||||

"I think it's now acknowledged what a great job we've done and people are looking at that.

Q: Red is a color that can get lots of?, Context: Red, white, and black were the colors of the German Empire from 1870 to 1918, and as such they came to be associated with German nationalism. In the 1920s they were adopted as the colors of the Nazi flag. In Mein Kampf, Hitler explained that they were "revered colors expressive of our homage to the glorious past." The red part of the flag was also chosen to attract attention - Hitler wrote: "the new flag ... should prove effective as a large poster" because "in hundreds of thousands of cases a really striking emblem may be the first cause of awakening interest in a movement." The red also symbolized the social program of the Nazis, aimed at German workers. Several designs by a number of different authors were considered, but the one adopted in the end was Hitler's personal design.

Q: Published on Feb 13, 2015
Though it has been established that eggs contain cholesterol, it has not yet been proven conclusively that they actually raise the level of serum cholesterol in the human bloodstream. ||||| The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has opened an investigation into the American Egg Board (AEB) after revelations by the Guardian that the USDA-appointed group conducted a months-long campaign against a San Francisco food startup called Hampton Creek.
Government-backed egg lobby tried to crack food startup, emails show Read more
Joanne Ivy, CEO of the AEB and 2015’s Egg Person of the Year, has stepped down and taken early retirement. She was originally due to leave at the end of the year.
The investigation comes after Utah senator Mike Lee called for an investigation into reports that the government-backed egg lobby had organized a concerted effort to tackle Hampton Creek, a company described in leaked emails as a “major threat” and “crisis” for the $5.5bn-a-year egg industry.
“[R]ecent news reports have brought to light a series of emails, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act [Foia], that contain compelling evidence that AEB leadership, including the Egg Board’s president and CEO, may have violated the federal laws and administrative regulations governing checkoff programs,” Lee wrote in a letter to agriculture secretary Tom Vilsack, calling for the investigation.
A USDA official confirmed an investigation was now under way by its agricultural marketing service (AMS) arm, which carries out the day-to-day oversight of boards.
“AMS is conducting a thorough administrative review of issues involving the American Egg Board. This involves a substantial amount of material, and while AMS expects to complete the review in an expeditious manner, a complete review will take some time. AMS will not comment on personnel matters involving the board,” said a USDA spokesperson.
Emails obtained through a Foia request by attorney Jeffrey Light and passed to the Guardian showed what Lee called “a strategic, multifaceted campaign to use the power and resources of the federal government to undermine the economic prospects of Hampton Creek”.
Members of AEB leadership are alleged to have tried to prevent the sale of Hampton Creek’s product Just Mayo at Whole Foods; to have advised Unilever on its lawsuit against the company (including suggesting Unilever solicit action from the Food and Drug Administration); and to have assessed the company’s patents for flaws.
They also joked about killing Tetrick himself: “Can we pool our money and put a hit on him?” asked Mike Sencer, executive vice-president of AEB member organization Hidden Villa Ranch. Mitch Kanter, executive vice president of the AEB, jokingly offered “to contact some of my old buddies in Brooklyn to pay Mr Tetrick a visit”. (AEB apologized for those statements when contacted by the Guardian.)
Board executives also discussed whether to confront chef Andrew Zimmern, who had featured Hampton Creek on his popular Travel Channel show Bizarre Foods and praised the company in a blog post characterized by them as a “love letter.”
While the Egg Board is a “checkoff” organization into which egg farmers are required to pay, it is specifically prohibited from influencing governmental action or disparaging non-egg commodities.
The AEB also distributed pro-industrial farming talking points through food and recipe blogs to counteract Hampton Creek chief executive Josh Tetrick’s criticism in the media of industrial farming.

Tetrick said he hoped the investigation would encourage more environmentally friendly farming practices.
“Some, not all, of these checkoff programs act in a way that is not aligned with building a healthier and more sustainable food system,” he said.
“It’s our hope that this is the first step toward reforming them. The actions that were in this case against Hampton Creek are actually against building a food system that’s for everyone.”
Just Mayo, a plant-based egg substitute, does not fall under the jurisdiction of the American Egg Board. But it caused consternation among its members, especially when Hampton Creek began to win lucrative industry contracts. The product became the mayonnaise of choice for the Compass Group, a catering firm that provides food for school cafeterias and smaller restaurant groups. ||||| Advertisement Continue reading the main story
NEW YORK — The CEO of the American Egg Board has stepped down earlier than planned, following the release of emails indicating she tried to stop the sale of a vegan mayonnaise at Whole Foods.
Joanne Ivy retired at the end of September. Before the release of the emails, the egg board said Ivy would retire Dec. 31.
Ivy and representatives of the egg board, which promotes the industry and is responsible for the "Incredible, Edible Egg" slogan, did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The U.S. Department of Agriculture, which oversees the board, confirmed Ivy's retirement but declined to comment on the reason.
The early departure comes as the USDA investigates the egg board regarding its actions related to Hampton Creek, a San Francisco startup that makes the eggless mayonnaise alternative Just Mayo. On Sept. 2, The Associated Press reported on emails in which Ivy told a consultant that she would "like to accept your offer to make that phone call to keep Just Mayo off Whole Foods shelves."
The request, made in 2013, was not successful, as Just Mayo is still sold at Whole Foods.
The communication nevertheless raised regulatory questions because the egg board is one of about 20 "checkoff" programs overseen by the USDA, making them quasi-governmental bodies. The programs, which include the National Pork Board and the Mushroom Council, are funded by producers and supposed to be promotional.
In a statement regarding its investigation, the USDA said it is "committed to establishing a level playing field that protects and promotes all appropriate agricultural endeavors." It said it did not "condone any efforts to limit competing products in commerce" and that its administrative review would take "some time" to complete.
Other emails by egg board executives illustrated the alarm over the media attention being showered on Hampton Creek, which makes plant-based alternatives to eggs it says are better for the environment. Publicly, egg board executives have sought to play down the company and avoided referring to it by name. Internally, however, the board was getting advice from public relations agency Edelman on how to respond to Hampton Creek.
In one exchange, an Edelman employee alerted the board that Hampton Creek had just challenged it to a bakeoff on Twitter. The employee advised the board not to respond.
It's not the first time checkoff programs have come under scrutiny. In 2012, the USDA's inspector general issued a report saying departmental oversight should be improved.
The emails by egg board executives were obtained through a public records request by Ryan Noah Shapiro, a Freedom of Information Act expert at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and his attorney, Jeffrey Light, who specializes in FOIA matters. Shapiro knows Hampton Creek co-founder Josh Balk and provided the documents to the company, which provided them to the AP.
In the meantime, Hampton Creek is dealing with a warning letter from the Food and Drug Administration saying its name violates the federal standard of identity for mayonnaise. The agency said that "mayo" is often understood to be mayonnaise, which is defined as having eggs.
A representative for the FDA said Friday there was no update on the matter.
Hampton Creek CEO Josh Tetrick said the company is scheduled to speak with FDA on the matter in coming weeks, and that he hopes to "find some common ground" with the agency.
The company has retained The Glover Park Group, which describes itself as a strategic communications and government affairs firm. Glover Park says on its website that it helps clients "develop and execute legislative and regulatory strategies to advance their goals in Washington."

A: | You could say the American Egg Board has egg on its face after the group was allegedly caught trying to sabotage the makers of a vegan mayonnaise it considered to be a "major threat," the Guardian reports. The problem is the board—as a government-backed food lobby—is not allowed to "disparage non-egg commodities." Utah senator Mike Lee, who launched the investigation into the Egg Board, says it conducted “a strategic, multifaceted campaign to use the power and resources of the federal government to undermine the economic prospects of Hampton Creek." According to the New York Times, Hampton Creek makes plant-based egg substitutes, including vegan mayonnaise Just Mayo. It claims its products are better for the environment than eggs. Among the American Egg Board's alleged transgressions: trying to keep Whole Foods from selling Just Mayo, joking about killing the Hampton Creek CEO, and thinking about confronting celebrity chef and TV host Andrew Zimmern over his positive comments on Hampton Creek, the Guardian reports. According to the Times, the board also made concerted efforts to never refer to Hampton Creek by name and had a PR agency advising them to, among other things, ignore Hampton Creek tweets about eggs and egg-related matters. In response, the USDA—which oversees the American Egg Board, National Pork Board, Mushroom Council, and others—has launched an investigation, and the CEO of the Egg Board stepped down.

Input: There are more than 30 attorneys in Butler County that volunteer for an organization offering free legal services for low income or elderly households. Legal Services of Southern Missouri (LSSM) serves 43 counties in this area and is dedicated to ensuring all people, regardless of their income, equal access to legal advice and counsel. Out of the 43 counties in the LSSM service region, Butler County has the fifth highest number of cases served in 2001 and the third largest number of attorney panel members. "The Butler County attorneys have really stepped up to the plate to help us represent the poor population in this county," said LSSM Director of Development Sharon Alexander. "We had approximately 400 cases in Butler County last year." LSSM is funded by the Legal Services Corporation (LSC)- a private, not-for-profit organization. Created by Congress, LSSM also receives funding from the Missouri Lawyer Trust Account Foundation and local area agencies on aging. But LSSM credits the attorneys that volunteer their time and skills to representing the underprivileged and elderly for the success of the organization. Currently, LSSM utilizes the services of 243 private attorneys who provide a minimum of 20 hours of pro bono or two pro bono cases per year. "Fundamentally, what we're trying to do is provide equal access to justice, for all people - regardless of their economic standing," said LSSM Board Member and volunteer attorney, Fred Hall. "If a husband knocks his wife down, breaks her jaw or arm - abuses her terribly - he will be picked up and put in jail. But he's entitled to have a public defender ... Don't you think she's entitled to have a lawyer to get a temporary restraining order from this guy?" LSSM operates like a law firm, but does not charge fees to their clients. Due to federal guidelines, LSSM does not accept cases concerning criminal, post-criminal, or municipal court matters. Rather, the attorneys provide pro bono counsel in matters such as protecting victims of spouse or child abuse, protecting individuals and families from loss of housing through illegal eviction or assisting the elderly in disputing Medicaid claim denials. "One example of a case we recently handled was over in Springfield," Alexander said. "There was an elderly woman who had some plumbing work done to her home and the work was not up to standards and the cost was above what it should have been ... we were able to help her through our pro bono program. One local Springfield attorney volunteered to handle the case." <sep>How many attorneys in Butler County that volunteer?<sep>250

New input case for you: The Glory of Melaka: In the early days, if you were not a pirate or a mosquito, Melaka was not much of a place to live. The land was infertile, just a swampy plain, the river small and sluggish. But it had a sheltered harbor, protected from the monsoons by neighboring Sumatra. Later, the strategic location and deep-water channel close to the coast brought in the bigger vessels of the trade-wind traffic crossing the Indian Ocean. The first to realize the larger commercial potential, as so often throughout the country's subsequent history, were the Chinese. In 1409, under a new directive from Emperor Chu Ti to pursue trade in the South Seas and the Indian Ocean, a Chinese fleet of 50 ships headed by Admiral Cheng Ho called in at Melaka. They made Parameswara an offer he could not refuse: port facilities and an annual financial tribute in exchange for Chinese protection against the marauding Thais. In 1411, Parameswara took the money to Beijing himself, and the emperor gratefully made him a vassal king. Twenty years later, the Chinese withdrew again from the South Seas trade. The new ruler of Melaka, Sri Maharajah, switched his allegiance to the Muslim trading fraternity by marrying into the Muslim faith, wedding the daughter of a sultan in Sumatra. Islam won its place in Malaya not by conquest — as had been the case in North Africa and Europe — but by trade, dynastic alliances, and peaceful preaching. Bengali peddlers had already brought the faith to the east coast. In Melaka and throughout the peninsula, Islam thrived as a strong, male-dominated religion of individuality, offering dynamic leadership and preaching brotherhood and self-reliance — all qualities ideally suited to the coastal trade. At the same time, Sufi mystics synthesized Islamic teaching with local Malay traditions of animistic magic and charisma, though Islam did not become the state religion until Muzaffar Shah became sultan of Melaka (1446–1459). But the key figure in the sultanate was Tun Perak, bendahara (prime minister) and military commander. He expanded Melaka's power along the west coast and down to Singapore and the neighboring Bintan islands. He also had orang laut pirates patrolling the seas to extort tribute from passing ships. After Ailied district chiefs had repelled assaults from Thai-controlled armies from Pahang, Tun Perak personally led a famous victory over a Thai fleet off Batu Pahat in 1456. <sep>Why might you might not have wanted to live in Melaka in the early days?<sep>The place was a vassal of China

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Example: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Example solution: Russian Revolution
Example explanation: This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
Problem: The person who died in 1464 did what?, Context: The large external sculptural schemes of Early Gothic churches gave way to more sculpture inside the building, as tombs became more elaborate and other features such as pulpits were sometimes lavishly carved, as in the Pulpit by Giovanni Pisano in Sant'Andrea. Painted or carved wooden relief altarpieces became common, especially as churches created many side-chapels. Early Netherlandish painting by artists such as Jan van Eyck (d. 1441) and Rogier van der Weyden (d. 1464) rivalled that of Italy, as did northern illuminated manuscripts, which in the 15th century began to be collected on a large scale by secular elites, who also commissioned secular books, especially histories. From about 1450 printed books rapidly became popular, though still expensive. There were around 30,000 different editions of incunabula, or works printed before 1500, by which time illuminated manuscripts were commissioned only by royalty and a few others. Very small woodcuts, nearly all religious, were affordable even by peasants in parts of Northern Europe from the middle of the 15th century. More expensive engravings supplied a wealthier market with a variety of images.

New input: For much of the world, the Algarve is synonymous with Portugal, yet the Portuguese will tell you the exact opposite: the region has little in common with the rest of the country. The southern stretch of coast is more reminiscent of a North African landscape than a European one. It has no cosmopolitan cities, like Lisbon and Porto, which are farther north. Most of Portugal is known for quaint towns, medieval castles, and grand palaces. The Algarve is more recognizable for impenetrable blocks of tourist apartments, hotels, and meticulously manicured golf courses. And beaches. Think Algarve and the mind pictures long, glorious stretches of golden sands, secluded coves framed by odd ochre-colored rock formations, and deep green waters. With about 160 km (100 miles) of coastline, Portugal's southern province is one of Europe's premier beach destinations. The occasionally chilly ocean is the Atlantic, but the Algarve has a sultry Mediterranean feel. Its consistent climate is the best in Portugal, and one of the kindest in the world: more than 250 days of sunshine a year — more than almost any other international resort area. The moderating effect of the Gulf Stream produces a fresh springtime breeze throughout winter, and in late January and February, white almond blossoms blanket the fields. In summer the heat is intense but rarely unbearable, and regardless, beautiful beaches and innumerable pools are always just a dive away. Magnificent year-round weather has made the Algarve a huge destination for sporting vacations. Superb golf facilities abound — several with tees dramatically clinging to cliffs and fairways just skirting the edge of the ocean — and horseback riding, tennis, big-game fishing, sailing, and windsurfing are immensely popular. Sports, beaches and hospitable weather — not to mention easily organized package vacations — are surely the reasons the Algarve receives as many visitors as the rest of Portugal in its entirety. But it's not just international tourists that descend on the Algarve; many Portuguese from Lisbon and elsewhere in the north have holiday homes and spend their summer vacations here. The coast is neatly divided into the rugged Barlavento to the west and the flat beauty of Sotavento to the east. West is where you'll find the famous orange cliffs and surreal eroded rock stacks. <sep>What notable geological features are located west of Algarve?<sep>Beautiful beaches

Q: Google is introducing a new logo today. Just a month after unveiling a major restructuring of the company, Google is updating its image, too. The new Google logo is still a wordmark, but it's now using a sans-serif typeface, making it look a lot more modern and playful. The colors are also softer than they used to be. The logo bears a bit more resemblance to the logo of Google's new parent company, Alphabet, as well. Alphabet's wordmark has a similarly unadorned look, and this update makes the two companies' design language fall more inline.
As Google's video introducing the new logo notes, the wordmark has been evolving ever since it was created in 1998. But this is easily its biggest change since 1999, when Google first cleaned up the lettering and settled on its four colors. Since then, the logo has just been flattened out more and more, with today's update representing a huge leap. In addition to changing up the wordmark, Google is also changing the tiny "g" logo that you see on browser tabs. It's now going to be an uppercase "G" that's striped in all four of Google's colors. Google says that the new design will be rolling out across all of its products soon — in fact, it's already on Google's homepage, with a cute animation that wipes away the old logo and draws in the new one.
The new logo is meant to reflect the new ways people visit Google
So why did Google decide to make the change? In a blog post, Google discusses how much technology has changed how we interact with its products and with the internet at large. It doesn't really settle on a specific reason that a redesign was needed, but it says that this logo should better reflect the reality that Google is no longer a site you visit on a desktop computer — it's a huge collection of sites, apps, and services that you visit on PCs, Chromebooks, smartphones, and anywhere you can find a web browser. Google writes that its new logo is meant to reflect "this reality and [show] you when the Google magic is working for you, even on the tiniest screens."
Making the logo look good on small screens seems to have been a major consideration. The new, simpler lettering is supposed to scale better to smaller sizes, making the wordmark more distinct and easier to read. It's also supposed to be easier for Google to display on low-bandwidth connections: Google says that it's made a version of its logo that's "only 305 bytes, compared to our existing logo at ~14,000 bytes." Given that one of new Google CEO Sundar Pichai's big goals is to bring the internet — and Google, of course — to areas of the globe that don't already have it, that small difference is definitely going to be an important one.
You can also see the new Google "G" beginning to appear across its services. Among the more notable is Google+, which is now represented by a big colorless version of the new G.
Verge Video: What's behind Google's Alphabet shakeup? ||||| You will very soon notice that Google has a new logo that’s sleeker, brighter, and for the first time, animated. And then, you probably won’t notice it at all.
It’s been a long time since the Google we know has just been a logo sitting on top of a search bar. The company makes whole operating systems for laptops, phones, watches, and smart home products. They’re building cars that don’t need you to drive them. And even search is a lot more complex than it once was. Google doesn’t just find you a link anymore, it responds to your voice, maps you to a restaurant based upon your context, and then, if you like, uses underlying intelligence to predictively plan every other moment of your day. Google went from being the way we find trivia to becoming the digital infrastructure of our lives.
And in turn, they’ve created a new logo and brand identity, out today.
The New, Scalable Typeface
The most immediate change is the typeface of the logo itself. Since 1999, Google has used a serif wordmark (serifs are the filigree on the ends of traditional print typefaces like Times New Roman). Along the way, the company has tweaked letter spacing and removed the drop shadow, but other than that, the Google logo of 2015 is the same as it was in the last millennium: like the name of an encyclopedia printed in childlike basic colors.
Now, Google has updated the logo with a sans-serif typeface (think Helvetica) that’s actually Google’s own creation. Called Product Sans, we got a first peek of it in the company’s Alphabet logo, and at a glance, it undoubtedly looks more modern than the old alternative. But sans-serif typefaces are popular on these days for another reason than some attempt at dot com cool: their streamlined glyphs shrink down to tiny sizes with more legibility than the more ornamental serif lettering. And so Google has created a logo that can read as well on a 2.5-inch Android Wear watch face as it does your 50-inch TV playing Chromecast.
Of course, in some contexts, even the smallest version of six whole letters is too much to fit. So Google also introduced an abridged “G” logo, itself rendered in the four colors of the full Google logo, for the tightest of spots. ||||| Google has changed a lot over the past 17 years—from the range of our products to the evolution of their look and feel. And today we’re changing things up once again. |||||
A: | Google has a new logo to go along with its new corporate structure. The company today announced its biggest logo update in 16 years, with the key change being a switch to sans-serif typeface designed to read as well on small screens as big ones, reports Fast Company. The Verge finds it "a lot more modern and playful," and Google itself explains that "we think we’ve taken the best of Google (simple, uncluttered, colorful, friendly), and recast it not just for the Google of today, but for the Google of the future." The Google homepage has an animation showing the before and after transition. |

Q: In chapters 3 and 4 we described how the U.S. government adjusted its existing agencies and capacities to address the emerging threat from Usama Bin Laden and his associates. After the August 1998 bombings of the American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, President Bill Clinton and his chief aides explored ways of getting Bin Laden expelled from Afghanistan or possibly capturing or even killing him. Although disruption efforts around the world had achieved some successes, the core of Bin Laden's organization remained intact. President Clinton was deeply concerned about Bin Laden. He and his national security advisor, Samuel "Sandy" Berger, ensured they had a special daily pipeline of reports feeding them the latest updates on Bin Laden's reported location. In public, President Clinton spoke repeatedly about the threat of terrorism, referring to terrorist training camps but saying little about Bin Laden and nothing about al Qaeda. He explained to us that this was deliberate-intended to avoid enhancing Bin Laden's stature by giving him unnecessary publicity. His speeches focused especially on the danger of nonstate actors and of chemical and biological weapons. As the millennium approached, the most publicized worries were not about terrorism but about computer breakdowns-the Y2K scare. Some government officials were concerned that terrorists would take advantage of such breakdowns. On November 30, 1999, Jordanian intelligence intercepted a telephone call between Abu Zubaydah, a longtime ally of Bin Laden, and Khadr Abu Hoshar, a Palestinian extremist. Abu Zubaydah said, "The time for training is over." Suspecting that this was a signal for Abu Hoshar to commence a terrorist operation, Jordanian police arrested Abu Hoshar and 15 others and informed Washington. One of the 16, Raed Hijazi, had been born in California to Palestinian parents; after spending his childhood in the Middle East, he had returned to northern California, taken refuge in extremist Islamist beliefs, and then made his way to Abu Zubaydah's Khaldan camp in Afghanistan, where he learned the fundamentals of guerrilla warfare. He and his younger brother had been recruited by Abu Hoshar into a loosely knit plot to attack Jewish and American targets in Jordan. After late 1996, when Abu Hoshar was arrested and jailed, Hijazi moved back to the United States, worked as a cabdriver in Boston, and sent money back to his fellow plotters. After Abu Hoshar's release, Hijazi shuttled between Boston and Jordan gathering money and supplies. With Abu Hoshar, he recruited inTurkey and Syria as well as Jordan; with Abu Zubaydah's assistance, Abu Hoshar sent these recruits to Afghanistan for training. <sep>President Clinton often spoke of terrorist camps, but did he refer to Bin Laden by name and what was the reason for his choice?<sep>To avoid giving him unnecessary publicity

Input: Pester came running into the room. He came to a fast stop when he saw the dog. He'd seen a dog before, every cat has, and he used to live with a black dog named Henry, but he'd never seen a brown one before. It seemed strange to him, but not as strange as it was to see Linda the brown chicken in the living room last spring. That still confused him. He thought he liked this dog, not because of the color, but because it was small. And it was so hairy. It was a like a mop that could run around. He jumped on his favorite chair and looked down as Maggie ran under it. She was kind of cute for a dog, Pester thought to himself. He layed down on the chair and pawed at her as she ran in a circle under it. He tapped her ears as she went by, and waved his tail like a flag trying to get her attention. After a little more of this, Pester curled up in a ball on the chair and took a nap. <sep>Why did Pester think of a mop when he saw the dog?<sep>Mop was hairy as dog

Rolling Stones guitarist Ronnie Wood has become a father again at the age of 68.
His wife Sally, who is 38, gave birth to twin girls late on Monday evening, Wood's publicist confirmed.
A statement said: "Ronnie & Sally Wood are delighted to announce the birth of their twins Gracie Jane (6lb) & Alice Rose (5.7lb).
"The girls arrived on 30 May at 22:30 and all are doing brilliantly. The babies are perfect."
The twins are Wood's fifth and sixth children, but the first for him and his wife, who is a theatre producer.
Wood has four children already - Jesse Wood with his first wife, former model Krissy Wood, daughter Leah and son Tyrone from his second marriage to Jo, and Jamie - Jo's son from a previous marriage whom Wood adopted.
The musician dated Sally Humphreys, as she was then known, for six months before they got married at London's Dorchester Hotel, with Rod Stewart as Wood's best man, in 2012.
The couple first met while she was working at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, where Wood was displaying some of his artwork. ||||| Focused crawls are collections of frequently-updated webcrawl data from narrow (as opposed to broad or wide) web crawls, often focused on a single domain or subdomain. ||||| Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood‘s wife, Sally, gave birth to twins Monday night, The Sun can reveal.
Theater producer Sally, 38, was rushed to a hospital in London, where she had twin girls.
A spokesperson told The Sun, “Ronnie and Sally Wood are delighted to announce the birth of their twins Gracie Jane (6 lb.) and Alice Rose (5.7 lb.). The girls arrived on May 30 at 10:30 p.m. and all are doing brilliantly. The babies are perfect.”
The tots are the couple’s first children together and Ronnie’s fifth and sixth — after four adult children from his first two marriages to the late Krissy Findlay and Jo Wood.
The rocker and wife Sally Humphreys, who is 31 years his junior, wed in 2012 after just six months of dating.
In December, The Sun revealed the pair were expecting, and it was believed they had been trying to conceive for some time.
A source told The Sun, “Ronnie is so excited. They’ve had their 12-week scan and have now started telling everyone. He can’t wait to be a dad again, and doesn’t think his age is a problem at all. He still feels very young and fit.
“Ever since marrying Sally, it had always been a possibility for them. They never ruled it out. But it was a huge shock to learn they were to have twins. But he’s more than up for the challenge.”
A spokesperson for the band said, “Sally and Ronnie Wood are delighted to announce that they are expecting twins in June 2016. Needless to say, they are thrilled and overjoyed with the wonderful news.”
Ronnie is worth an estimated £35 million ($51 million).
The guitarist had his first child, Jesse, 39, with first wife Krissy, who passed away in 2005.
They divorced in 1978 after he had an affair with late Beatles star George Harrison’s former wife, Pattie Boyd, now 72.
Seven years later he wed model Jo Wood, now 61, in 1985.
As well as adopting her son Jamie, 41, from a previous marriage, they had Leah, 36, and Tyrone, 30, together, but divorced in 2009.
He fell off the wagon before leaving her, then embarked on a string of high-profile romances with younger women, including Russian cocktail waitress Ekaterina Ivanova, 27, and Brazilian model Ana Araujo, 34.
Birmingham-born Sally, who owns a theater production company, said in 2014 they’d discussed starting a family together, despite her husband’s age.
She said, “He’s got a lot of friends that are older who have younger children and they all say it’s fantastic and it keeps you young. I do think that would be wonderful, but I don’t know if it will happen. I hope so.”
“A baby would be nice. Obviously we’ve spoken about it quite a lot, and you can ask him and his response would be, ‘Well, that would be nice.’ He’s up for it.” |||||
Solution: | For those wondering how the Rolling Stones' Ronnie Wood is still among the living, he's not only surviving, he's procreating: He just became a dad to twin girls at the age of 68, CNN reports. Wood and his wife, Sally Humphreys, welcomed Gracie Jane and Alice Rose (sorry, no Angie) into the world late Monday, and the newborns are "perfect," the Stones' publicist says, per the BBC. Just the day before the blessed event, Wood tweeted a pic of himself with his dog, with the caption "Waiting #38weeks+," along with emoji of baby bottles and gifts. Back in December, a source told the Sun that "he can't wait to be a dad again, and doesn't think his age is a problem at all. He still feels very young and fit." CNN notes Humphreys is younger than the oldest of Wood's other four kids; CNN says she's 37; the BBC and Page Six say she's 38. (Good news and bad news for those with older dads.) |

Two Toronto police officers who allegedly ingested marijuana edibles, hallucinated and called for help while on duty Sunday have been suspended, CBC News has learned.
Both officers are under investigation by the force's professional standards unit following an incident that happened Sunday, according to Mark Pugash, a spokesperson for Toronto Police Service.
CBC News has learned the officers, who work at 13 Division, were on duty not far from the station at Eglinton Avenue West and Allen Road when they allegedly ingested pot edibles.
Police sources tell CBC News the officers began to complain of "hallucinations" and one made a call for an officer needing assistance. Both officers were found in a police vehicle and later treated in hospital.
During the call, another officer responding to the scene slipped on ice and required medical attention. That officer suffered a head injury.
Over the weekend, Toronto police carried out a raid at Community Cannabis Clinic, a marijuana dispensary at St. Clair Avenue West near Dufferin Street.
Sources tell CBC News the marijuana edibles the officers ingested are believed to have come from this dispensary. It's unclear if the officers participated in the raid over the weekend.

CBC News has learned the officers under investigation are Const. Vittorio Dominelli and his partner.
Dominelli serves in 13 Division's neighbourhood resources officer unit, according to Toronto Police Service's website.
CBC News has not been able to confirm the name of Dominelli's partner.
No criminal charges have been laid against the officers pending the outcome of the investigation by the force's professional standards unit.
The professional standards unit is obligated to investigate complaints of misconduct under Ontario's Police Services Act. This branch is responsible for overseeing police practices, conduct, appearance, ethics and integrity. ||||| Toronto police confirms two of its officers have been suspended after police sources say the pair consumed edible marijuana while on duty over the weekend — shortly after a marijuana dispensary raid in the area. Police spokesperson Mark Pugash said two officers are now being investigated by Toronto police Professional Standards Unit, but wouldn’t provide any additional information, including their names and what alleged conduct led to the suspension.

Police sources tell the Star, however, that the pair — both assigned to the city’s central 13 division — are alleged to have consumed marijuana edibles while on duty this weekend. Soon after ingesting the drug the officers began to hallucinate and called for assistance, according to sources. At least one of the officers was taken to hospital, police sources told the Star. The incident came hours after a Toronto police raid of a marijuana dispensary in the division, which is in central west Toronto. It was not immediately clear if the officers were directly involved in the raid.

According to police sources, one of the officers involved is Const. Vittorio Dominelli, a 13 division neighbourhood officer. Dominelli could not be immediately reached for comment Monday evening. Two police sources alleged that one officer was injured as a result of the call for assistance, though the extent of the injuries is unclear. Monica Hudon, spokesperson for the Special Investigations Unit, told the Star on Monday morning that the police watchdog — called in when an officer is involved in a serious injury, death, or allegation of sexual assault — was not contacted in connection to the incident. Wendy Gillis can be reached at [email protected] |||||
Output: | It sounds like a potentially perilous situation: an officer calling for assistance while on duty. Except in the case of two Toronto officers on Sunday, the problem wasn't gunfire or an uncooperative arrestee—it was pot the cops had allegedly consumed. CBC News reports the officers, whose names haven't been released by the department, allegedly ate marijuana edibles near a police station and then reportedly started to hallucinate. That's when CBC News reports that one made the call, though sources tell CP24 a more colorful story: that the call was placed after one officer ended up in a tree. The two were reportedly found in a police vehicle and at least one of them was brought to the hospital. Making the situation worse: an officer who responded to the scene slipped on ice and suffered a head injury in the process. The Toronto Star reports that some hours prior, a raid had been carried out on a nearby marijuana dispensary; it reports that it's unclear if the officers in question participated, but a source tells CBC News the edibles that were allegedly consumed were thought to have been taken during that raid. The officers have reportedly been suspended and will be investigated by the professional standards unit. (These stoned drug traffickers called 911 on themselves.) |
