TEHRAN, Iran (CNN) -- There's no doubt that Iran's election will be a major test for incumbent President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. But many Iranian women hope the results will also shake the current status of women in the Islamic republic. Zahra Rahnavard, wife of Iranian candidate Mir Hossein Moussavi, has taken a visible role in the campaign. "Thirty-four million women demand to have female Cabinet ministers; 34 million women demand to be eligible to run for president," Zahra Rahnavard, wife of reformist candidate Mir Hossein Moussavi, told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. "Thirty-four million women want the civil law to be revised; 34 million women want the family law revised." Whether her husband wins or loses Friday, Rahnavard has broken barriers for women just by appearing on the campaign trail with her husband, a rarity for political wives in Iran. "We look at her, and we say, 'We want to be like her in the future,' " said Shakiba Shakerhosseie, an Iranian woman who packed into Tehran's indoor Azadi (Freedom) sports stadium along with nearly 12,000 others to hear Rahnavard speak in March. Rahnavard is a mother of three, as well as an accomplished artist and academic. She has been compared to first ladies in the United States, including Michelle Obama, for her visible role in her husband's quest for the presidency. "I am here to say that men and women are equal," Rahnavard said. Iran became an Islamic republic in 1979 after the ruling monarchy was overthrown and Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was forced into exile. The revolution also ended the ceremonial role of first lady that the last queen, Farah, enjoyed. More women than men have voted in the past few elections, and Rahnavard has made a promise to her female supporters that their vote will count this time if Moussavi wins. "We have made this promise to the women, and we will stand by it," she said. Iranian women remain second-class citizens in criminal matters, divorce, child custody and inheritance cases, despite making up 65 percent of university students. Ahmadinejad's fundamentalist government has tried to make it easier for men to take more than one wife while restricting public sector careers for women. This year, for the first time, the Guardian Council announced that a woman could legally be among the final candidate list. Out of the 42 women who registered, however, none was ultimately allowed to stand. Even Zahra Eshraghi, granddaughter of revolutionary leader Ayatollah Khomeini, was banned from running for parliament as a reformist. "For Ahmadinejad's government, women are just living things," Eshraghi said. "A woman is there to fill her husband's stomach and raise children." Watch one analyst talk about women in Ahmadinejad's Iran » . Moussavi is not the only candidate calling for a stronger role for women in Iran. Mehdi Karroubi, the only cleric in the presidential race, has promised to campaign for women's rights. Hard-line conservative candidate Mohsen Rezaie also said he would have female ministers if he wins the election. Political science professor Mohammad Marandi downplayed Rahnavard's impact on the outcome of Friday's election. He said she may win over reformists and women, but what will win the election is a solution to the floundering economy and a strong performance in the debates. iReport.com: Iranians rally in large numbers . "If Ahmadinejad does well in the debates, I don't think anyone will be able to defeat him," Marandi said. But try selling that to Rahnavard's enthusiastic supporters. "This is the first time after the revolution we see a lady behind the president," Farhad Mahmoudi said. "And this is why we're so happy, because we can have a first lady."

Q: If water is not a good conductor, why are we advised to avoid water near electricity (no wet hands near circuits etc.)? A: &quot;Pure&quot; water is a very poor conductor (resistivity is actually used as a measure of purity). &quot;Real&quot; water is not pure - it contains electrolytes and is quite conductive. Also - when your skin is wet, its resistivity is significantly lower. For example - &quot;pure&quot; water has a resistivity of (about) 18.2 M$\Omega\cdot\rm{cm}$. With 10 ppm of dissolved NaCl (&quot;very good quality tap water&quot; would have less than 50 ppm), the resistivity drops to about $43~\rm{k\Omega\cdot cm}$ A lot of detail can be found in &quot;Conduction of Electrical Current to and Through the Human Body: A Review&quot; (Fish and Geddes, ePlasty 2009, 9, e44). > Why immersion in water can be fatal with very low voltages * Immersion wets the skin very effectively and great lowers skin resistance per unit area * Contact area is a large percentage of the entire body surface area * Electric current may also enter the body through mucous membranes, such as the mouth and throat * The human body is very sensitive to electricity. Very small amounts of current can cause loss of ability to swim, respiratory arrest and cardiac arrest
Question: Colleen is making a batch of 48 cookies. She's going to add 108 chocolate chips and one-third as many M&Ms to the whole batch. What are the average number of chocolate pieces in each cookie? Answer: First find the total number of M&Ms: 108 chocolate chips / 3 chocolate chips / 1 M&M = <<108/3/1=36>>36 M&Ms Then add that number to the number of chocolate chips to find the total number of pieces of chocolate: 36 M&Ms + 108 chocolate chips = <<36+108=144>>144 chocolates Then divide the total number of chocolates by the number of cookies to find the number of pieces of chocolate per cookie: 144 chocolates / 48 cookies = <<144/48=3>>3 chocolates/cookie The answer is 3.

By . Associated Press . PUBLISHED: . 00:19 EST, 23 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 00:19 EST, 23 August 2013 . A sting operation has foiled a plot to abduct, torture and kill police officers by an anti-authority sovereign citizen movement, Las Vegas police said on Thursday. David Allen Brutsche and Devon Campbell Newman were arrested at an apartment a few miles off the Vegas Strip before they could carry out a plan to snatch officers, 'put them on trial' and execute them in a vacant house, police Lt. James Seebock said. Federal authorities regard sovereign citizen extremists as domestic terrorists. 'Domestic terrorists': David Allen Brutsche (left) and Devon Campbell Newman were arrested after hatching a plot to abduct and torture LV police officers . Authorities have linked sovereign citizens groups with violent confrontations in recent years, including deadly shootings in Louisiana and Arkansas. Brutsche, 42, and Newman, 67, wanted to draw attention to the group's rejection of governmental authority, making the case a domestic terror plot, Seebock said. 'They were furthering their ''sovereign citizen'' ideology by committing criminal acts toward law enforcement,' he said. Brutsche and Newman were held in Clark County jail pending court appearances on charges including conspiracy to commit murder and attempted kidnapping. It was not immediately clear whether they had lawyers. The investigation began when an unidentified undercover officer befriended Brutsche and Newman in April, police said. The three participated in meetings and training sessions about sovereign citizen philosophy and later shopped for guns and discussed plans to track and videotape police officers to determine whom to abduct, according to a 10-page arrest report. They found a vacant house and rigged it with bolts drilled into wall supports, creating a makeshift jail where they planned to bind captive officers to cross beams for interrogation, police said. Plot: The pair had were arrested near the Vegas strip after planning to rig a vacant house with a makeshift jail . Authorities haven't released video evidence, but the report states that Brutsche and Newman recorded videos about their actions and ideology to post following the planned abductions. Hundreds of hours of conversation were recorded over the course of 30 meetings with the undercover officer, police said. 'We need to arrest the police and take them to our jail and put them in a cell and put them on trial in a people's court,' Brutsche said on July 9, according to the arrest report. 'If we run into the position that they resist, then we need to kill them.' During a tour of gun stores the next day, Brutsche said that what they were planning was going to be big, 'and that they would really get a large following once they started because of the publicity,' the report said. Police said that when Brutsche was arrested, he denied that police had authority to hold him. Police identified Brutsche as a six-time convicted felon and child sex offender from California. Authorities did not detail a further criminal background for Newman. In Louisiana last year, police linked a sovereign citizen group to shootout that left two deputies dead and two others wounded. At least some of the seven people arrested were identified as sovereign citizen members. In Arkansas in 2010, a father and son identified as members of the group shot and killed two police officers before being killed by authorities in a separate shootout. Summarize this article.

The Met Office has issued a yellow alert level two - . which is triggered to let health and social care providers know when . there is a risk that extreme weather could affect services. It . said: 'During Monday, although still feeling very cold across southern . areas in strong winds at times, less cold air is expected to move in, . allowing temperatures to recover somewhat. 'Further . north, the cold conditions are expected to hang on, although colder . night time minima may be offset by sunnier periods by day. There is a . risk of icy conditions at times, especially across the north.' A spokesman added: 'The below average temperatures look likely to last throughout March. 'Although generally temperatures are expected to rise, they are going to be likely to be below average for the month.' Despite the cold weather over the past week there has been no frost because the clouds covering the UK have acted as a blanket, the Met Office has said. While much of the UK has 'felt much colder than any other time this winter', there has not been the right 'ingredients' for a long hard frost. It said: 'For a classic frosty night we need a few ingredients: low temperatures, clear skies, calm winds and moisture. 'A clear, calm night gives excellent radiation conditions – by this we mean that the heat absorbed by the Earth’s surface during the day escapes readily back into space and allows temperatures to fall. 'If the temperature falls to the dew point (the temperature to which air must cool for it to become saturated with water vapour) moisture will condense and form droplets on the ground’s surface. When temperatures fall below freezing the droplets freeze and we get frost.' It said thick cloud cover was stopping temperatures from falling too much below freezing. It said: 'The wind is also important as it mixes the lower part of our atmosphere. Rather than having cold air pooling in one place and causing low temperatures, the wind can bring less cold air from another location or even bring it down from the upper atmosphere. 'This also helps to keep temperatures from falling too low. However, easterly winds this week have certainly made it feel very cold indeed!'

Question: What are some of the causes for the 1929 US stock market crash? Answer: The 1920’s were a booming time for Americans as the stock market was surging due to speculative investing. Stock prices rose to records heights which drove the public to invest their liquid assets into securities. Billions of dollars were drawn from banks for broker’s loans to carry margin accounts. People were mortgaging their homes to pour money into stocks. In late 1929, the market eventually overheated and prices began to fall despite efforts by the banks to buy up large blocks of stock to stem the losses. Eventually, the panic was too much and the market crashed on Black Monday, October 24th when the market closed down 12.8 percent. The sharp decline in the 1929 stock market eventually led to the Great Depression of the 1930’s.
Schools in some parts of the country are having to raid their own budgets to pay for Nick Clegg’s plan to give four to seven-year-old pupils free meals. Freedom of Information figures suggest nearly a third of councils cannot afford to provide free school lunches for infants from September. In some areas, schools themselves could have to pay towards the expensive kitchen and dining room upgrades needed to deliver the policy. Schools are having to raid their own budgets to pay for kitchen and dining room upgrades to provide free school meals for children after Nick Clegg made a pledge at last year's Liberal Democrat Conference . In Somerset, primaries with more than 150 pupils are being asked to contribute a total of £250,000 – 25 per cent of the cost of improving kitchens. And Lambeth council in London said schools will be funding £150,000 worth of upgrades. Overall, across 29 councils, there is a funding shortfall of at least £23million. The figures will add to controversy surrounding the policy, which was announced by the Deputy Prime Minister at last year’s Liberal Democrat party conference. Tory sources said the £600million plan was drawn up ‘on the back of a fag packet’ as part of a coalition deal, which saw the Lib Dems agree not to oppose similarly expensive tax breaks for married couples. But many primary school heads warned at the time that they did not have the space or kitchen facilities to provide for an extra 1.5million children. Sources claim that Mr Clegg failed to take into account the cost of improving school kitchens to meet the demand, forcing the Government to offer more money for upgrades. The Department for Education is refusing to release warning emails, understood to have been sent by the Treasury to officials and ministers, pointing out potential problems with the funding of the scheme. Mr Clegg has insisted that the plan is fully funded, but Freedom of Information requests have revealed a gap of £23million as Tory's accuse Clegg of drawing the idea up 'on the back of a fag packet' Mr Clegg insisted last month that the plan was ‘fully funded’. But Labour’s shadow schools minister Kevin Brennan said it was increasingly clear the policy was ‘a complete shambles’, adding: ‘David Cameron urgently needs to explain to parents why some schools will be forced to fund this commitment out of their own budgets, how this will affect standards at those schools and which children will be missing out in September.’ Responses to Freedom of Information requests by Mr Brennan reveal that almost a third of councils have not been given enough money by the Government to fund the programme from September. Of the 43 councils that said it was not enough, 29 provided details of their estimated shortfalls – a total of £23,036,824. Kent County Council has a shortfall of around £4.3million, while Enfield and Hampshire councils both have shortfalls of at least £3million. Initially, Mr Clegg promised that all free lunches would be a hot meal. But this was downgraded to an aspiration rather than a commitment once problems with kitchens were raised. Last week, it emerged that more than 3,000 schools will buy in pre-prepared meals and either keep them warm or reheat them in mini-kitchens. Dozens of others will offer only cold lunches, in some cases at pupils’ desks. Summarize this article. Clegg insists that £600million school meals pledge is fully funded . But Freedom of Information requests reveal £23milllion funding gap . Schools being asked to raid their own budgets to make up shortfall .
Question: There are 60 ridges on a vinyl record. Jerry has 4 cases, each with 3 shelves that can hold 20 records each. If his shelves are 60% full, how many ridges are there on all his records? Answer: First find the total number of records that can fit on all the shelves: 4 cases * 3 shelves/case * 20 records/shelf = <<4*3*20=240>>240 records Then multiply that number by 60% to find the number of records actually on the shelves: 240 records * 60% = <<240*60*.01=144>>144 records Then multiply that number by 60 to find the number of ridges on all the records: 144 records * 60 ridges/record = <<144*60=8640>>8640 ridges The answer is 8640.

Question: In a factory, there are 3 machines working 23 hours a day. The owner decided to buy a fourth machine, which works only 12 hours a day. One machine can produce 2 kg of material every hour. The factory sells the produced material for $50 per 1 kg. How much can this factory earn in one day? Answer: The total runtime for the first three machines is 3 machines * 23 hours/day/machine = <<3*23=69>>69 hours/day. So these machines could produce 69 hours/day * 2 kg/hour = <<69*2=138>>138 kg/day. The fourth machine could produce 12 hours/day * 2 kg/hour = <<12*2=24>>24 kg/day of material. In total all the machines would produce 138 kg/day + 24 kg/day = <<138+24=162>>162 kg/day of material. The factory would therefore earn 162 kg/day * $50/kg = $<<162*50=8100>>8100/day. The answer is 8100.

Answer: Mandy has a total of $20 x 3 = $<<20*3=60>>60. So, she will have $60/$10 = <<60/10=6>>6 $10 bills. Manny has a total of $50 x 2 = $<<50*2=100>>100. So, he will have $100/$10 = <<100/10=10>>10 $10 bills. Hence, Manny has 10 - 6 = <<10-6=4>>4 more $10 bills than Mandy. The answer is 4.
Question: Stella’s antique shop has 3 dolls, 2 clocks and 5 glasses for sale. She sells the dolls for $5 each. The clocks are priced at $15 each. The glasses are priced at $4 each. If she spent $40 to buy everything and she sells all of her merchandise, how much profit will she make? Answer: The dolls will sell for 3 * $5 = $<<3*5=15>>15. The clocks will bring in 2 * $15 = $<<2*15=30>>30. The glasses will sell for 5 * $4 = $<<5*4=20>>20. In total, she will bring in $15 + $30 + $20 = $<<15+30+20=65>>65 Her total profit will be $65 - $40 = $<<65-40=25>>25. The answer is 25.
Question: Describe a recurring dream you've had. Answer: Thank you for asking about my dreams. I am a computer model and therefore I do not actually dream myself. I do learn from content and so I know a lot about what kinds of dreams one could have. People often have dreams about their work, their children, losing all of their teeth, and flying. Some of these can be recurring dreams, which means that someone can have the same dream repeatedly. It must be nice to dream.
Passage: Gabriel Oak is a young shepherd. With the savings of a frugal life, and a loan, he has leased and stocked a sheep farm. He falls in love with a newcomer six years his junior, Bathsheba Everdene, a proud beauty who arrives to live with her aunt, Mrs. Hurst. Over time, Bathsheba and Gabriel grow to like each other well enough, and Bathsheba even saves his life once. However, when he makes her an unadorned offer of marriage, she refuses; she values her independence too much, and him too little. Feeling betrayed and embarrassed, Gabriel offers blunt protestations that only foster her haughtiness. After a few days, she moves to Weatherbury, a village some miles off. When next they meet, their circumstances have changed drastically. An inexperienced new sheepdog drives Gabriel's flock over a cliff, ruining him. After selling off everything of value, he manages to settle all his debts but emerges penniless. He seeks employment at a hiring fair in the town of Casterbridge. When he finds none, he heads to another such fair in Shottsford, a town about ten miles from Weatherbury. On the way, he happens upon a dangerous fire on a farm and leads the bystanders in putting it out. When the veiled owner comes to thank him, he asks if she needs a shepherd. She uncovers her face and reveals herself to be none other than Bathsheba. She has recently inherited her uncle's estate and is now wealthy. Though somewhat uncomfortable, she employs him. Question: What did Gabriel do when he saw the fire? Answer: He helped to put it out
(CNN) -- A new regional branch of al Qaeda infiltrated Pakistan's navy and tried to hijack a vessel earlier this month to launch rocket attacks on American ships in the Indian Ocean, a site that monitors terror groups said. It was the first major offensive by the newly formed al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent. The SITE Institute's monitoring service said the group's spokesman, Usama Mahmoud, on Twitter compared the Pakistani naval officers involved in the attempted hijacking to Nadal Hasan, the U.S. Army psychiatrist convicted of killing 13 people at Fort Hood. Hasan was sentenced to death by a military court for the November 5, 2009, rampage, which authorities said the American-born Muslim carried out because he did not want to deploy to Afghanistan to fight other Muslims. Mahmoud's tweet on Wednesday said the group sought to avenge the "bloodshed of Muslims" from Afghanistan to Syria as well as what it called U.S. control and superiority over "ours straits, our channels and our waters." The September 6 hijacking attempt of the Pakastani navy vessel PNS Zulfiqar in Karachi ended after a fire fight in which three attackers were killed and seven others arrested, Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif told parliament on September 10. A naval officer was killed. "We cannot rule out inside help in this attack because, without it, the miscreants could not breach security," Asif said. A Pakistani navy source said the investigation is still under way and the attack could be linked to any network. According to SITE, al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent claimed credit for the attack and even posted a picture and schematic of the Pakistani naval ship on Twitter. "These mujahideen had taken control of the Pakistani ship, and they were advancing towards the American fleet when the Pakistani army stopped them," said the tweet quoted by SITE. "As a result, the mujahideen, the lions of Allah and benefactors of the Ummah, sacrificed their lives for Allah, and the Pakistani soldiers spoiled their hereafter by giving up their lives in defense of the enemies of the Ummah the Americans," the group said on Twitter. After the attack, three naval officials were arrested during a raid on the outskirts of the city of Quetta near the Afghan border. The officials said the suspects were trying to escape to Afghanistan. Earlier this month, al Qaeda leader Ayman al-Zawahiri, in an effort to reclaim relevancy, announced the creation of al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent, led by Asim Umar, which will include at least one faction of the Pakistan Taliban. According to a translation by the SITE Institute, Mahmoud said the group's basic goals included jihad against America, supporting the Taliban and establishing a caliphate (implicitly rejecting the Caliphate claimed by ISIS leader Bakr al-Baghdadi). The announcement steps up the philosophical battle between al Qaeda and ISIS about how the dream of the caliphate, to which Muslims the world over would owe allegiance, is achieved. Mahmoud spoke of "a caliphate where the emirs are proud in their closeness to the honest scholars... a caliphate in whose shadow even the disbelieving people of dhimma (non-Muslim citizens of an Islamic state) have a life of safety and security." The last condition was clearly aimed at ISIS and its merciless campaign against non-Muslims and non-Sunni Muslims in both Iraq and Syria. Not to be outdone, ISIS' propaganda machine recently posted photographs showing residents of the Iraqi city of Nineveh enjoying "prosperity... under the shade of the caliphate." Al-Zawahiri may be counting on the withdrawal of most U.S. combat forces from Afghanistan as his best chance of reviving al Qaeda's fortunes. Agent Storm: Inside al Qaeda for the CIA .

Question: Is switchgrass a good biofuel source? Answer: Switchgrass is an excellent biofuel source for many reasons. Switchgrass grows natively throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada. It has a dramatically higher energy yield than corn. It requires almost no pesticides to grow and no fertilizer. Switchgrass actually pulls carbon out of the air and puts it into the ground through it's large root system, thus enriching the soil it grows in rather than depleting it. Once a switchgrass plant is established it grows back naturally every year for 18 to 20 years.

Question: Martin owns a farm with hens. 10 hens do lay 80 eggs in 10 days. Martin decided to buy 15 more hens. How many eggs will all hens lay in 15 days? Answer: If 10 hens lay 80 eggs, then 1 hen lays 80 / 10 = <<80/10=8>>8 eggs in 10 days. That means one hen is laying 8 / 2 = <<8/2=4>>4 eggs in 5 days. So in 15 days, 1 hen will lay 3 times more eggs, so 4 * 3 = 12 eggs. All hens in total will then lay 25 * 12 = <<25*12=300>>300 eggs in 15 days. The answer is 300.
Q: Write a story of a perfectly ordinary or boring day except write it as dramatically as possible. A: Posted before, but here's my average morning from last year: 1:30am. Something has woken me up from my slumber. It screams, it howls, it calls my name. Stumbling from my bed, I stagger down the hallway to the source of the noise. The monster wants food. I placate it with a drink and scurry back to my warm, cosy bed, hoping it will last until the sun comes up. 6:50am. Nothing. No noise. The monster is sleeping. It will need waking before long, to capture it and strap it into it's travelling cage. 7:30am. The monster is secured. We begin our journey to deposit the alternate care-giver to his location. Once he is delivered, we have to press on, continuing through the hunger pangs. 8:05am. The hunger pangs are consuming us. We stop to refuel our bellies. The monster objects. It is temporarily released into the wild, but soon recaptured. 8:30am. We have arrived at the monsters location for the day. It is left with new care-givers, a list of instructions handed out. It is fed, and I leave. 8:55am. Freedom. 9:00am. A day of filing paperwork, away from a screeching toddler. Bliss.....

Passage: Ellen Ripley is rescued after drifting through space in stasis for 57 years. She is debriefed by her employers at the Weyland-Yutani Corporation over the destruction of her ship, the USCSS Nostromo; they are skeptical of her claims that an Alien killed the ship's crew and forced her to destroy the ship. The exomoon LV-426, where the Nostromo encountered the alien eggs, is now home to the terraforming colony Hadleys Hope. When contact is lost with Hadleys Hope, Weyland-Yutani representative Carter Burke and Colonial Marine Lieutenant Gorman ask Ripley to accompany Burke and a Colonial Marine unit to investigate the disturbance. Traumatized by her encounter with the Alien, Ripley initially refuses, but she relents after experiencing recurring nightmares about the creature; she makes Burke promise to destroy, and not capture, the Aliens. Aboard the spaceship USS Sulaco, she is introduced to the Colonial Marines, their commanding officer Lieutenant Gorman, and the android Bishop, toward whom Ripley is initially hostile following her experience with the traitorous android Ash aboard the Nostromo. A dropship delivers the expedition to the surface of LV-426, where they find the colony deserted. Inside, they find makeshift barricades and signs of a struggle, but no bodies; two live facehuggers in containment tanks in the medical lab; and a survivor, a traumatized young girl nicknamed Newt who used the ventilation system to evade capture or death. The crew uses the colony's computer to locate the colonists grouped beneath the fusion powered atmosphere processing station. They head to the location, descending into corridors covered in Alien secretions. At the center of the station, the marines find the colonists cocooned, serving as incubators for the Aliens' offspring. When the marines kill a newborn Alien, the Aliens are roused and ambush the marines, killing and capturing several. When the inexperienced Gorman panics, Ripley takes control of their vehicle and rams it through the nest to rescue marines Hicks, Hudson, and Vasquez. Hicks orders the dropship to recover the survivors, but a stowaway Alien kills the pilots, causing it to crash into the station. Ripley, Newt, Gorman, Burke and the remaining marines barricade themselves inside the colony command center. Ripley discovers that Burke deliberately sent the colonists to investigate the derelict spaceship where the Nostromo crew first encountered the Alien eggs, believing he could become wealthy by recovering Alien specimens for use as biological weapons. She threatens to expose him, but Bishop informs the group of a greater danger: the power plant was damaged by the dropship crash, and will soon explode with the force of a 40-megaton thermonuclear weapon. He volunteers to crawl through several hundred meters of piping conduits to reach the colony's transmitter and remotely pilot the Sulaco's remaining dropship to the surface. Ripley and Newt fall asleep in the medical laboratory, awakening to find themselves locked in the room with the two facehuggers, which have been released from their tanks. Ripley triggers a fire alarm to alert the marines, who rescue them and kill the creatures. Ripley accuses Burke of releasing the facehuggers so that they would impregnate her and Newt, allowing him to smuggle the Alien embryos past Earth's quarantine, and of planning to kill the rest of the marines in hypersleep during the return trip so that no one could contradict his version of events. Before the marines can kill Burke, the electricity is cut and Aliens assault through the ceiling. Hudson, Burke, Vasquez and Gorman are all killed and Newt is captured. Ripley and an injured Hicks reach Bishop in the second dropship, but Ripley refuses to abandon Newt. The group arrives at the processing station, allowing a heavily armed Ripley to enter the hive and rescue Newt. As they escape, the two encounter the Alien queen in her egg chamber. Ripley destroys the eggs, enraging the queen, who tears free from her ovipositor. Pursued by the queen, Ripley and Newt rendezvous with Bishop and Hicks on the dropship. All four escape moments before the station explodes with the colony consumed by the nuclear blast. On the Sulaco, Ripley and Bishop's relief at their escape is interrupted when the Alien queen, stowed away on the dropship's landing gear, emerges and tears Bishop in half. The queen advances on Newt, but Ripley clashes with her using an exosuit cargo-loader and expels it through an airlock into space. Ripley, Newt, Hicks and the badly damaged Bishop enter hypersleep for the return trip to Earth. Question: What is the name of the new colony on LV-426? Answer: Hadleys Hope
By . Freya Noble . Industrial action may be taken by staff at the Australian Tax Office if a proposed extension to their working day goes ahead. Formal action is yet to be taken, but on Monday afternoon the ATO is expected to put forward a proposal that could require workers to be at their desks for an additional nine minutes each day, for no additional pay. A spokeswoman for the ATO told the MailOnline that 'the day ends at 4.51 according to enterprise agreement.' Staff at the Australia Tax Office could have their work days extended from 4.51pm to 5pm . The spokeswoman said this is due to the fact that core working hours are stated as 7.21 per day in the agreement. However, Jeff Lapidos, secretary of the Australian Services Union branch that represents workers at the ATO told the MailOnline they are 'strongly opposed' to any push from the Government that could see staff finishing closer to 5pm. He said the extra minutes staff could be asked to work per day 'is equivalent to cutting five and third days in annual leave per year'. The ATO spokeswoman said they are keeping staff informed and currently working through a range of options. 'The ATO will negotiate in good faith with the CPSU, the ASU and individual employee representatives on its enterprise agreement. According to the ATO enterprise agreement, the working day currently ends at 4.51pm . 'We will be discussing a range of employment conditions as part of that process, but as part of our commitment to good faith bargaining we will not be publicly commenting on the negotiations prior to bargaining discussions.' There are many hoops the unions need to jump through before industrial action can be taken, but Mr Lapidos said it was unlikely the ATO would change their minds unless they put up a big fight. 'Industrial action can't be taken in the immediate future as the fair work act lays down a process to be followed. '(But) they have little incentive to change their position if they [the unions] don't take action.' 'The last time they tried this was in 2006 and we campaigned strongly against it then, and the tax office withdrew their position.' On Monday afternoon the ATO are expected to formally hand down proposed changes . Mr Lapidos also said there would be no compromise from the union on working hours, and the government was trying to implement the changes for their own benefit. 'The government isn't prepared to share the productivity savings which are expected from the tax office over the next few years.' 'The purpose behind that from their perspective is to finance a minimal pay rise.' The exact proposed changes will be formally revealed early next week, and if the tax office aren't prepared to cooperate industrial action could take place in the coming months. Summarize this article. The Australian Tax Office are expected to extend the working day beyond its current end at 4.51pm . Australian Services Union will fight the changes with industrial action if necessary . ASU branch Secretary Jeff Lapidos said the changes are equivalent to cutting over five days in annual leave .

Passage: Set sometime between the French and Indian War and the American Revolutionary War, Wieland details the horrible events that befall Clara Wieland and her brother Theodore's family. Clara and Theodore's father was a German immigrant who founded his own religion; he came to America just before the American Revolution with the conviction to spread his religion to the indigenous people. When he fails at this task, he believes he has also failed his deity. One night, as he worships in his bare, reclusive temple, he seems to spontaneously combust, after which his health rapidly deteriorates and he dies. His children inherit his property, which is divided equally between them. Theodore marries their childhood friend, Catharine Pleyel, and they have four children. Soon, Theodore begins to hear voices and Catharine's brother, Henry Pleyel, begins to hear them, too. Though at first doubtful of the voices that the men claim to hear, Clara also begins to hear a strange voice. The mysterious Carwin appears on the scene, and suggests that the voices may be caused by human mimicry. Clara is secretly in love with Pleyel, and makes a plan to tell him so; however, her chance is ruined. When she returns home, she finds Carwin hiding in her closet. He admits he had been planning to rape Clara, but believing her to be under the protection of a supernatural force, leaves her. The next morning, Pleyel accuses Clara of having an affair with Carwin. He leaves quickly, without giving Clara enough time to defend herself. She decides to go to see Pleyel, to tell him he is mistaken, but he does not seem to believe her. On her way home, Clara stops to visit her friend Mrs. Baynton, where Clara finds a letter from Carwin waiting for her, which requests an audience with her. At Theodore's house, Clara finds that everyone seems to be asleep, so she continues on to her own home, where she is to meet with Carwin. When she arrives, there are strange noises and lights, and she sees a glimpse of Carwin's face. In her room, she finds a strange letter from Carwin, and Catharine in her bed – dead. Shocked, she sits in her room until Theodore arrives and threatens Clara. When he hears voices outside, he leaves Clara unharmed. Clara learns that Theodore's children and Louisa Conway have also been killed. Clara falls ill; later, she is able to read the murderer's testimony. The killer is her brother, Theodore. He claims to have been acting under divine orders. Clara is sure that Carwin is the source of Theodore's madness. Carwin reveals to Clara that he is a biloquist. He was the cause of most of the voices, but he claims that he did not tell Theodore to commit the murders. Wieland, having escaped from prison, arrives at Clara's house and tries to kill her. Carwin uses his ability to tell Theodore to stop. He says that Theodore should not have listened to the voices, and Theodore suddenly comes to his senses. He kills himself, full of remorse for what he has done. Clara refuses to leave her house, until it burns down one day. She then goes to Europe with her uncle, and eventually marries Pleyel. Clara feels she has finally recovered from the tragic events, enough to write them down. As for Carwin, he has become a farmer in the countryside. Apparently the novel was based on the true story of murders which took place at Tomhannock, New York (a hamlet near Pittstown) in 1781. Mirroring the incidents of the later novel, one James Yates, under the influence of a religious delusion, killed his wife and four children, then attempted to kill his sister, and expressed no remorse for his conduct in court later. Brown gave his tragic hero a pedigree related to that of the actual German author Christoph Martin Wieland, who is mentioned obliquely in the text: My ancestor may be considered as the founder of the German Theatre. The modern poet of the same name is sprung from the same family, and, perhaps, surpasses but little, in the fruitfulness of his invention, or the soundness of his taste, the elder Wieland. This and others of Charles Brockden Brown's novels were very influential in the later development of the Gothic genre by such writers as Edgar Allan Poe, Mary Shelley, and most especially, George Lippard. Question: What was the source of the voices? Answer: Carwin, who could do vocal tricks.
Question: Allison, a YouTuber, uploads 10 one-hour videos of food reviews each day to her channel. She uploaded videos halfway through June, at that pace, and then doubled the number of video hours she uploaded on the remaining days. What's the total number of video hours she has uploaded at the end of the month? Answer: Since June has 30 days, halfway is 1/2*30 = <<1/2*30=15>>15 The total number of video hours halfway through June is 10*15 = <<10*15=150>>150 When she doubled the number of video hours, the total per day became 10*2 = <<10*2=20>>20 The total number of video hours for the remaining days is 15*20 = <<15*20=300>>300 The total number of video hours for the whole month is 300+150 = <<300+150=450>>450 The answer is 450.
Passage: Growing up, Evan Treborn and his friends, Lenny and siblings Kayleigh and Tommy Miller, suffered many severe psychological traumas that frequently caused him to black out. These traumas include being coerced to take part in child pornography by Kayleigh and Tommy's father, George Miller (Eric Stoltz), being nearly strangled to death by his institutionalized father, Jason Treborn (Callum Keith Rennie), who is then killed in front of him by guards; accidentally killing a mother and her infant daughter while playing with dynamite with his friends; and seeing his dog being burned alive by Tommy. Seven years later, while entertaining a girl in his dorm room, Evan discovers that when he reads from his adolescent journals, he can travel back in time and redo parts of his past. His time traveling episodes account for the frequent blackouts he experienced as a child, since those are the moments that his adult self occupied his conscious, such as the moment his father strangled him when he realizes that Evan shares his time-traveling affliction. However, there are consequences to his revised choices that dramatically alter his present life. For example, his personal time-line leads to alternative futures in which he finds himself, variously, as a college student in a fraternity, an inmate imprisoned for murdering Tommy, and a double amputee. Eventually, he realizes that, even though his intentions to fix the past are good, his actions have unforeseen consequences, in which either he or at least one of his friends does not benefit. Moreover, the assimilation of dozens of years' worth of new memories from the alternative timelines causes him brain damage and severe nosebleeds. He ultimately reaches the conclusion that he and his friends will never have good futures as long as he keeps trying to fix the past, and he realizes that the only thing keeping his friends from having good lives is himself. Evan travels back one final time to the day he first met Kayleigh as a child. He intentionally upsets her so that she and Tommy will choose to live with their mother, in a different neighborhood, instead of with their father when they divorce. As a result, they aren't subjected to a destructive upbringing, don't grow up with Evan, and go on to have happy, successful lives. Evan awakens in a college dorm room, where Lenny is his roommate. As a test, he asks where Kayleigh is, to which Lenny responds "Who's Kayleigh?" Knowing that everything is all right this time, Evan burns his journals and videos to avoid altering the timeline ever again. Eight years later in New York City, an adult Evan exits an office building and passes by Kayleigh on the street. Though a brief look of recognition passes over both of their faces, they both decide to keep walking. Question: What is Evan's main reason for wanting to travel back in time? Answer: To redo parts of his past
Question: What is a narcissist? Answer: People who see themselves as the center of the universe. Narcissists gain confidence by putting others down. They feel attacked at the slightest thing, even when a comment has nothing to do with them. They're small human beings. They lack grace, wisdom, humility, integrity, and perhaps even a conscience. Narcissists make the worst mothers — traumatizing their children, feeling resentful and jealous of their children and in the worst cases, seeing their daughters as their competition. Narcissists make the worst kind of boss. Unfortunately, many narcissists are in positions of power.
Question: Ahmed and Emily are having a contest to see who can get the best grade in the class. There have been 9 assignments and Ahmed has a 91 in the class. Emily has a 92. The final assignment is worth the same amount as all the other assignments. Emily got a 90 on the final assignment. What is the minimum grade Ahmed needs to get to beat Emily if all grades are whole numbers? Answer: Ahmed has scored 819 total points in the class thus far because 9 x 91 = <<9*91=819>>819 Emily had scored 828 total points before the final assignments because 9 x 92 = <<9*92=828>>828 She scored 918 total points after the final assignment because 828 + 90 = <<828+90=918>>918 Ahmed needs to score a 99 to tie Emily for the semester because 918 - 819 = <<918-819=99>>99 Ahmed needs to score a 100 to beat Emily for the semester because 99 + 1 = <<99+1=100>>100 The answer is 100.
Passage: Resettlement Administration Lange's iconic 1936 photograph of Florence Owens Thompson, Migrant Mother "Broke, baby sick, and car trouble!" (1937) Lange and Dixon divorced on October 28, 1935 and on December 6 she married economist Paul Schuster Taylor, professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley. For the next five years they traveled through the California coast and the midwest. Throughout their travels they documented rural poverty, in particular the exploitation of sharecroppers and migrant laborers. Taylor interviewed subjects and gathered economic data while Lange produced photographs and accompanying data. They lived and worked from Berkeley for the rest of her life. Working for the Resettlement Administration and Farm Security Administration, Lange's images brought to public attention the plight of the poor and forgotten—particularly sharecroppers, displaced farm families, and migrant workers. Lange's work was distributed to newspapers across the country, and the poignant images became icons of the era. One of Lange's most recognized works is Migrant Mother, published in 1936. The woman in the photograph is Florence Owens Thompson. In 1960, Lange spoke about her experience taking the photograph: "I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. I made five exposures, working closer and closer from the same direction. I did not ask her name or her history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it." Lange reported the conditions at the camp to the editor of a San Francisco newspaper, showing him her photographs. The editor informed federal authorities and published an article that included some of the images. In response, the government rushed aid to the camp to prevent starvation. According to Thompson's son, while Lange got some details of the story wrong, the impact of the photograph came from an image that projected both the strengths and needs of migrant workers. Twenty-two of Lange's photographs produced for the FSA were included in John Steinbeck's The Harvest Gypsies when it was first published in 1936 in The San Francisco News. According to an essay by photographer Martha Rosler, Migrant Mother became the most reproduced photograph in the world. Question: What is the most known picture from Dorothea Lange \Answer: The most famous picture taken by Dorothea Lange is the "migrant mother" where a women is shown with her child during the great depression. The image symbolises the suffering of the american population at the time following years of bad crop that led to the economic crisis of 1929 and mid 30's depression.

Corcoran, California (CNN) -- Notorious killer Charles Manson, 77, was denied parole Wednesday after a California parole panel "could find nothing good as far as suitability" for his being paroled, a commissioner said. Manson didn't show up for his parole hearing, which was held at a state prison in Corcoran, California, where he is serving a life sentence. Manson's next parole hearing was scheduled for 15 years from now, meaning he could die in prison. California Board of Parole Hearings Commissioner John Peck said that Manson has accumulated 108 serious disciplinary violations in prison since 1971 and that he has shown no indication of remorse for his nine murder convictions. Manson hasn't participated in any self-help programs or vocational training, Peck said. Manson also hasn't shown any parole plans, he said. Peck also cited Manson's statement to a psychologist in a prison interview on November 2, 2011, in which Manson stated: . "I am special. I am not like the average inmate. I have put five people in the grave. I've been in prison most of my life. I'm a very dangerous man," Manson told the psychologist, according to a report read aloud by Peck during the hearing. Those statements marked a change from Manson's past denials of having murdered nine people in 1969, and the statements showed some insight into his crimes, Peck said, reading from the report. But two-member parole panel still found the statements troubling, denying him parole and scheduling his next hearing for 15 years from now, the maximum allowed under law, Peck said. That would put Manson at age 92 for his next hearing, unless he petitions the board for an earlier hearing. Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Patrick Sequeira, who opposed Manson's parole at the hearing, said Manson is likely to die in prison. Sequeira said he didn't know which "five people" Manson was referring to in his statement to the psychologist. "When you think a person will be 92 years old, it's very likely that there will be no further parole hearings for Mr. Manson," Sequeira told reporters after the 80-minute hearing concluded. "He does not deserve to be returned to society," the prosecutor added. "He has a history of refusing to cooperate, not only with psychologists for evaluations, but also for treatment." DeJon R. Lewis, Manson's state-appointed attorney, who has never met his client, said he didn't know why Manson didn't show up for the hearing. Manson hasn't appeared at any of his parole hearings during the past 15 years. Manson didn't come out of his cell to participate in an interview with Lewis a month ago, Lewis told the parole panel. "Quite frankly, I don't think he could have helped himself today by speaking on the record," Lewis told reporters after the hearing. Manson now has been denied parole 12 times, authorities said. Manson was initially sentenced to death for the grisly 1969 slayings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate and eight others by a group of his followers -- called his "family" -- as part of what prosecutors said was an attempt to incite an apocalyptic race war between whites and blacks during the country's massive social unrest. Manson's death sentence was changed to life in prison after California's death penalty was overturned for a period during the 1970s. Manson and his family staged crime scenes to appear as if African-Americans or the Black Panthers committed the murders, Sequeira told the panel. He called the stabbing and shooting deaths "domestic terror." After the race war, Manson and his followers would emerge from their desert retreat "to rule the world," Sequeira told the panel. Manson and his followers believed the Beatles' "White Album" predicted such an apocalyptic war, Sequeira told the panel. Debra Tate, the sister of Sharon Tate, who attended Wednesday's hearing, told the parole panel that she believed Manson declined to attend the proceeding because he didn't want to hear her or any other victim's impact statement. "He clearly does not want to be released into the public," Tate told the parole board. After Manson was denied parole, with his next hearing scheduled for 2027, Tate was "elated," she told reporters. She has been attending Manson's parole hearings for the past 15 years. "I was very pleased that we will never hear from Charlie Manson again," Tate told reporters. "I don't have to see him again. For this one, it's over." Last October, Manson was found to be in possession of an inmate-manufactured weapon and he is now being held for 15 months in isolation in a secured housing unit in the California State Prison Corcoran, said Commissioner Gilbert Robles, the other member of the two-person parole panel. In another incident, Manson was also found to be in a possession of a cell phone, another prison violation, the panel said. Of the 108 serious discipline violations committed by Manson in prison, 35 of them were violent, Sequeira said. Seven of the serious disciplinary violations occurred since Manson's previous parole hearing in 2007, the prosecutor said. Manson has a history of manipulative and controlling behavior and has a record of mental health issues, including schizophrenia and a paranoid delusional disorder, Robles said. Manson also had a history of using drugs such as LSD, amphetamines and barbiturates, but he hasn't participated in any self-help programs for the last 11 years, Robles said. Manson dropped out of school at 3rd grade when he was 9 years old, and he spent years in boy reformatories. But he hasn't used his prison time to obtain a GED, which is an alternative high school diploma, according to Robles and Peck. Manson posted an IQ of 121 in 1972, which is average to high average of intellectual functioning, Sequeira said. Summarize this article. NEW: Manson is being held in isolation after being caught with a weapon in October . "We will never hear from Charlie Manson again," says Debra Tate, sister of victim . "I have put five people in the grave. ... I'm a very dangerous man," Manson told psychologist . Manson, 77, serving a life sentence for nine murders, didn't show up to hearing .

Passage: Miguel "Sugar" Santos (Perez Soto) spends his weekends at home, passing from the landscaped gardens and manicured fields on one side of the guarded academy gate to the underdeveloped, more chaotic world beyond. In his small village outside San Pedro de Macorís, Miguel enjoys a kind of celebrity status. His neighbors gather to welcome him back for the weekend; the children ask him for extra baseballs or an old glove. To his family, who lost their father years before, Miguel is their hope and shining star. With the small bonus he earned when he signed with the academy some time ago, he has started to build his family a new house—one that has a bigger kitchen for his mom and a separate room for his grandmother. After learning a devastating knuckle curve, Sugar is invited to spring training by the fictional Kansas City Knights. He is assigned to their Single A affiliate in Iowa, the Swing. He is housed by the Higgins family, who take in Swing players every year. Jorge (Rufino), a veteran player and the only other Dominican on the team, also tries to help Miguel learn the ropes. However, despite the Higgins' welcoming efforts and Jorge's guidance, the challenge of Miguel's acceptance into the community is exposed in small ways every day, from his struggle to communicate in English to an accident of casual bigotry at a local bar. Miguel's domination on the mound masks his underlying sense of isolation, until he injures himself during a routine play at first. While Miguel is on the disabled list, Jorge, his one familiar connection to home in this strange new place, is cut from the team, never fully regaining his ability following off-season knee surgery. The new vulnerability of Miguel's injury, coupled with the loneliness of losing his closest friend, force Miguel to begin examining the world around him and his place within it. Pressure mounts when Salvador, a young pitching phenom who used to play with Miguel, is brought up from the Dominican Republic to join the team. Miguel's play falters, and the increased isolation begins to take its toll on him. As his dream begins to fall apart, Miguel decides to leave baseball to follow another kind of American Dream. His odyssey finally brings him to New York City, where at first he struggles to find community and make a new home for himself, like so many before him. Miguel ends up playing baseball with rejected players from the minor leagues. Question: Who gets cut from the team? Answer: Jorge

Question: Luke is planning a trip to London and wants to see how long it will take him to travel there. He decides that he will take a bus to the town center, walk for 15 minutes to the train center, wait twice this long for the train to arrive, and then take the 6-hour train ride to London. If Luke’s entire trip takes him 8 hours, how many minutes does his bus ride take? Answer: Removing the time of the train ride from the journey shows that his trip to get on the train took him 8 hours – 6 hours = <<8-6=2>>2 hours. Converting this time into minutes shows that getting to the train took 2 hours * 60 minutes/hour = <<2*60=120>>120 minutes. Waiting for the train to arrive took twice as long as his walk, so 15 minutes * 2 = <<15*2=30>>30 minutes. This means that his bus ride must have taken 120 minutes – 30 minutes - 15 minutes = <<120-30-15=75>>75 minutes. The answer is 75.

If he watches cartoons for 2 hours, how many minutes of chores does he have to do? Answer: He watched for 120 minutes because 2 x 60 = <<2*60=120>>120 This means 12 blocks of chores must be done because 120 / 10 = <<120/10=12>>12 He has to do 96 minutes of chores because 12 x 8 = <<12*8=96>>96 The answer is 96.

Q: How do I change the author and committer name/email for multiple commits? A: Here is the solution, but be careful if you have a multi-user repository - this will change all commits to have the same (new) author and committer. ``` git filter-branch -f --env-filter " GIT_AUTHOR_NAME='Newname' GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL='new@email' GIT_COMMITTER_NAME='Newname' GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL='new@email' " HEAD ``` Changing the author (or committer) would require rewriting all of the history. If you're okay with that and think it's worth it then you should check out git filter-branch. The manual page includes several examples to get you started. Also note that you can use environment variables to change the name of the author, committer, dates, etc. -- see the "Environment Variables" section of the git manual page. Specifically, you can fix all the wrong author names and emails for all branches and tags with this command (source: GitHub help): ``` #!/bin/sh git filter-branch --env-filter ' OLD_EMAIL="[email protected]" CORRECT_NAME="Your Correct Name" CORRECT_EMAIL="[email protected]" if [ "$GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL" = "$OLD_EMAIL" ] then export GIT_COMMITTER_NAME="$CORRECT_NAME" export GIT_COMMITTER_EMAIL="$CORRECT_EMAIL" fi if [ "$GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL" = "$OLD_EMAIL" ] then export GIT_AUTHOR_NAME="$CORRECT_NAME" export GIT_AUTHOR_EMAIL="$CORRECT_EMAIL" fi ' --tag-name-filter cat -- --branches --tags ``` For using alternative history filtering tool `git filter-repo`, you can first install it and construct a `git-mailmap` according to the format of `gitmailmap`. ``` Proper Name <[email protected]> Commit Name <[email protected]> ``` And then run filter-repo with the created mailmap: ``` git filter-repo --mailmap git-mailmap ```
Question: The selling price of a bicycle that had sold for $220 last year was increased by 15%. What is the new price? Answer: The price of the bicycle increased by $220 * 15/100 = $<<220*15/100=33>>33. Adding the increment price, the new price is $220 + $33 = $<<220+33=253>>253. The answer is 253.
Passage: Married to Margaret Brandt, Gerard sets off to Rome from Holland in order to escape the persecution of a vicious burgomaster as well as to earn money for the support of his family. Margaret awaits his return in Holland and in the meantime gives birth to his son. As Gerard is the favourite with his parents, his two lazy and jealous brothers decide to divert him from Holland and receive a larger share of fortune after their parents' death. They compose and dispatch a letter to Gerard informing him falsely that Margaret has died. Gerard believes the news and, stricken by grief, gives himself to a dissolute life and even attempts a suicide. After being saved from death by chance, he takes vows and becomes a Dominican friar. Later Gerard preaches throughout Europe and, while in Holland, discovers that Margaret is alive. He is afraid of temptation and in order to shun Margaret becomes a hermit. Margaret discovers Gerard's hiding place and convinces him to come back to normal life in which he becomes a vicar of a small town. Gerard and Margaret no longer live as a man and wife, but nevertheless see each other several times a week. A few years pass, Gerard's son grows up and is sent to a private school. Later, having heard that plague breaks out at the school, Margaret rushes to rescue her son, but contracts the disease herself and dies shortly afterwards. Gerard takes her demise painfully, renounces his vicarship and dies in a few weeks. The author of The Cloister and the Hearth, at the end of this story, reveals that Margaret's and Gerard's son, also named Gerard, became the great Catholic scholar and Humanist, Erasmus of Rotterdam, a major historical figure. Indeed, little is actually known about Erasmus' actual parentage (apparently illegitimate), though his parents were in reality named Margaret Roger and Gerard. Reade was apparently using his imagination to fill in some historical gaps in Erasmus' background. The Cloister and the Hearth can easily be read as anti-Catholic, as it presents Catholic discipline regarding the celibate priesthood as an unsympathetic obstacle preventing Margaret's and Gerard's love from continuing to be consummated. Question: Where does Margaret go to at the beginning of the story? Answer: She stays in Holland.

Question: Let’s solve the following math problem. Each rabbit has 4 feets and each duck has 2 feets. If there are in total 25 heads and 88 feets, how many rabbits and how many ducks are there? Answer: Let’s use equations to solve it! Let the number of ducks be X and the number of rabbits be Y. We have X + Y = 25 and 2X + 4Y = 88. Simplifying the first equation, we get Y = 25 - X Substitute that in the second equation, we will get 2X + 4(25-X) = 88, Thus 100 - 2X = 88 Which means 2X = 100 – 88 = 12, thus X = 6. We substitute back into the first equation, we have Y = 25 - 6 = 19. There are 6 ducks and 19 rabbits!
Passage: In writing style The Confessions of a Young Man is presented as a novel, with a hero named Dayne, but the reader assumes in essence it is an autobiography, a true "confession". Dayne (i.e. Moore) went to Paris as a teenager, and almost becomes a full Parisian nearly forgetting the English language after 15 years. He sketches, with a frankness now jubilant, now cynical, the luscious "vie de Boheme" that Paris alone could offer the young man of health and wealth who loved art. Amid scenes splendid, squalid, or bizarre, move students, cabotins, painters, poets, pale enthusiasts starving for the sake of an idea, actresses, women of fashion, courtesans, clubmen, and spectators. Artistic endeavour and perfumed vice mingle in fraternity; everything is unusual, irregular, fantastic. Dayne emerges from the ordeal of this environment but little changed. For him the enticements of the flesh are not more powerful than those of art. One week he is beguiling the hours in some salon or alcove, the next he is incandescent with aspiration. So the years pass; and at last, having saturated himself with the French theories of literary and graphic art which are bound up with the names of Flaubert, Goncourts, Zola, Degas, and Manet, he one day learns with tragic certainty that he is not destined to be a painter, and he courageously admits that all this periodic, frenzied effort has been misdirected. Then we have interludes of philosophy and literary criticism; the philosophy perhaps not of much account; the criticism often original, epigrammatic, sometimes of an astounding penetration, and always literary. Later, Dayne is driven by adverse circumstances to London and to a lodging in the Strand, where the book ends. Dayne's ideas about art and his temperament can be seen in characteristic passages like the following: "For art was not for us then as it is now—a mere emotion, right or wrong only in proportion to its intensity; we believed then in the grammar of art, perspective, anatomy, and la jambe qui forte." Question: What is the name of the protagonist? Answer: Dayne
