Rhapsody in Blue is a 1924 musical composition by American composer George Gershwin for solo piano and jazz band, which combines elements of classical music with jazz-influenced effects. Commissioned by bandleader Paul Whiteman, the composition was orchestrated by Ferde Grofe several times, including the original 1924 scoring, "theater orchestra" setting published in 1926, and the symphony orchestra scoring published in 1942, though completed earlier. The piece received its premiere in the concert, An Experiment in Modern Music, which was held on February 12, 1924, in Aeolian Hall, New York, by Whiteman and his band with Gershwin playing the piano. The editors of the Cambridge Music Handbooks opined that "The Rhapsody in Blue (1924) established Gershwin's reputation as a serious composer and has since become one of the most popular of all American concert works." Rhapsody in Blue premiered in an afternoon concert on Tuesday, February 12, 1924, held by Paul Whiteman and his band Palais Royal Orchestra, entitled An Experiment in Modern Music, which took place in Aeolian Hall in New York City. Many important and influential composers of the time such as John Philip Sousa and Sergei Rachmaninoff were present. The event has since become historic specifically because of its premiere of the Rhapsody. The purpose of the experiment, as told by Whiteman in a pre-concert lecture in front of many classical music critics and highbrows, was "to be purely educational". It would "at least provide a stepping stone which will make it very simple for the masses to understand, and therefore, enjoy symphony and opera". The program was long, including 26 separate musical movements, divided into 2 parts and 11 sections, bearing titles such as "True form of jazz" and "Contrast: legitimate scoring vs. jazzing". Gershwin's latest composition was the second to last piece (before Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March No. 1). Many of the numbers sounded similar and the ventilation system in the concert hall was broken. People in the audience were losing their patience, until the clarinet glissando that opened Rhapsody in Blue was heard. The Rhapsody was performed by Whiteman's band, with an added section of string players, and George Gershwin on piano. Gershwin decided to keep his options open as to when Whiteman would bring in the orchestra and he did not write down one of the pages for solo piano, with only the words "Wait for nod" scrawled by Grofe on the band score. Gershwin improvised some of what he was playing, and he did not write out the piano part until after the performance, so it is unknown exactly how the original Rhapsody sounded. The opening clarinet glissando came into being during rehearsal when; "... as a joke on Gershwin, [Ross] Gorman (Whiteman's virtuoso clarinettist) played the opening measure with a noticeable glissando, adding what he considered a humorous touch to the passage. Reacting favourably to Gorman's whimsy, Gershwin asked him to perform the opening measure that way at the concert and to add as much of a 'wail' as possible." Answer the following question by taking a quote from the article: How long did it play for?
an afternoon concert

Space shuttle blasts off on last night flight CAPE CANAVERAL, Florida (AP) — Endeavour and six astronauts rocketed into orbit Monday on what's likely the last nighttime launch for the shuttle program, hauling a new room and observation deck for the International Space Station. The space shuttle took flight before dawn, igniting the sky with a brilliant flash seen for miles around. The weather finally cooperated: Thick, low clouds that had delayed a first launch attempt Sunday returned, but then cleared away just in time. "Looks like the weather came together tonight," launch director Mike Leinbach told the astronauts right before liftoff. "It's time to go fly." "We'll see you in a couple weeks," replied commander George Zamka. He repeated: "It's time to go fly." There are just four more missions scheduled this year before the shuttles are retired. "For the last night launch, it treated us well," Leinbach said. Endeavour's destination — the space station, home to five men — was soaring over Romania at the time of liftoff. The shuttle is set to arrive at the station early Wednesday. Zamka and his crew will deliver and install Tranquility, a new room that will eventually house life-support equipment, exercise machines and a toilet, as well as a seven-windowed dome. The lookout has the biggest window ever sent into space, a circle 31 inches (79 centimeters) across. It will be the last major construction job at the space station. No more big pieces like that are left to fly. Both the new room and dome — together exceeding $400 million — were supplied by the European Space Agency. Endeavour's launch also was broadcast to the space station residents, who got to watch it live. Monday morning's countdown ended up being uneventful, except for a last-minute run to the launch pad. Astronaut Stephen Robinson forgot the binder holding all his flight data files, and the emergency red team had to rush it out to him, just before he climbed aboard. The launch team couldn't resist some gentle teasing. A quick look at the launch video showed a couple pieces of foam insulation breaking off Endeavour's external fuel tank, but none appeared to strike the shuttle, officials said. The 13-day mission comes at an agonizing time for NASA. Exactly one week ago, the space agency finally got its marching orders from President Obama: Ditch the back-to-the-moon Constellation program and its Ares rockets, and pack on the research for an as-yet-unspecified rocket and destination. NASA's boss, ex-astronaut Charles Bolden, favors Mars. But he, too, is waiting to hear how everything will play out. The space station came out a winner in the Obama plan. The president's budget would keep the outpost flying until at least 2020, a major extension. The four remaining shuttle flights to the station — in March, May, July and September — have daytime departures, at least for now. A significant delay could bump any of the launches into darkness. NASA has Obama's permission to bump a mission or two into 2011 if safety needs arise. Sunday night, Endeavour shot through some thin clouds on its way into orbit, and its bright flame was visible from the launch site for seven minutes. Within 15 minutes of taking off, the astronauts were enjoying "a beautiful sunrise" from orbit, with the moon as a backdrop. "Wish you could be here," Zamka called down. Three spacewalks are planned during Endeavour's flight to hook up the new station compartments, beginning Thursday. The shuttle crew — five men and one woman, all Americans — will team up with the station residents to get the job done. Aboard the station are two Americans, two Russians and one Japanese. Bolden sees that same blend of nations in NASA's future exploration efforts, whatever they are. You share in the USA TODAY community, so please keep your comments smart and civil.

Hedge Fund Intensifies Attack on Yahoo Amid Storm Over Padded Résumés Third Point has intensified its assault against Yahoo. On Friday, the hedge fund, which is the middle of a contentious proxy battle with Yahoo, called for the dismissal of the technology company’s chief executive, Scott Thompson, after revealing that he had inaccurately stated his credentials. Mr. Thompson had previously claimed to have earned degrees in both accounting and computer science from Stonehill College. After prodding by Third Point, Yahoo conceded that Mr. Thompson had only an accounting degree, calling it an “inadvertent error.” Yahoo also said that Patti S. Hart, the director who led the company’s chief executive search, did not graduate with a degree in marketing and economics from Illinois State University. Instead, she earned a degree in business administration. In a letter to shareholders on Friday, Third Point’s founder, Daniel S. Loeb, called for Mr. Thompson to be fired and for Ms. Hart to resign. Mr. Loeb also raised concerns about whether Yahoo had filed erroneous information in securities filings and other documents. “Irreparable damage to Yahoo’s culture will continue every day that the board allows Mr. Thompson and Ms. Hart to remain at the helm of the company after having clearly demonstrated that they lack even the ‘minimum qualifications for service as a director of the company,’ ” Mr. Loeb wrote. A spokeswoman for Yahoo, Amanda Pires, said in a statement: “As we have previously said, the board is reviewing this matter and, upon completion of its review, will make an appropriate disclosure to shareholders.” Earlier this year, Third Point started an aggressive battle against Yahoo, questioning the company’s strategic direction and its choice of new directors, who Mr. Loeb said lacked advertising and media expertise. The hedge fund is seeking four board seats at Yahoo. The revelations about Mr. Thompson and Ms. Hart are the latest blow to Yahoo, which has been under pressure from shareholders to redefine itself in a world where Facebook and Google dominate. The struggling Web pioneer had staked its latest turnaround campaign on Mr. Thompson, who was hired in January from eBay’s PayPal unit. Mr. Thompson sent an e-mail to Yahoo’s employees on Friday, acknowledging the reports and urging them to stay focused on the mission, according to people with knowledge of the matter. “I’m doing what I hope all of you are doing — staying focused on our customers, our shareholders, our team and moving Yahoo forward, fast,” Mr. Thompson said in the note. Some corporate governance experts say that the errors in Mr. Thompson’s academic record are unsettling. At a time of uncertainty for Yahoo shareholders, any questions about the integrity of the company’s chief executive may cast doubt on investors’ faith in its turnaround plans. “It really diminishes his credibility,” said Jeffrey A. Sonnenfeld, the senior associate dean for executive programs at Yale School of Management. F. Daniel Siciliano, a professor at Stanford Law School, noted that Mr. Thompson and Ms. Hart seemingly had run afoul of Yahoo’s own code of ethics. But he added that the code appeared to allow for some leeway in the board’s response, and that the company’s directors must carefully weigh their next steps. “The real duty the board has is to ask what is in the best interest of the shareholders,” he said. “If they don’t have a succession plan in place, it might be a costly move to fire him.” Executives who inflate their credentials have previously found themselves in a tenuous positions. David Edmondson, who became RadioShack’s chief executive in 2005, claimed to have graduated from Pacific Coast Baptist College with bachelor’s degrees in theology and psychology. He later admitted that he did not have either degree, and resigned in early 2006. Not all executives caught with padded résumés are forced to resign, however. In 2002, Ronald Zarrella, then the chief executive of Bausch & Lomb, admitted that while he attended New York University’s Stern School of Business at night, he did not graduate. Mr. Zarrella retired from Bausch & Lomb in 2008. Professor Siciliano said the Yahoo board faced a difficult decision. “There are omissions, and there are complete misrepresentations of your fundamental credentials,” he said of Mr. Thompson. “His misrepresentation is to the left of that, but it’s still pretty bad.” Evelyn M. Rusli contributed reporting. What are the most important parts of this text?

Comprehensive school: Since the 1988 Education Reform Act, parents have a right to choose which school their child should go to or whether to not send them to school at all and to home educate them instead. The concept of "school choice" introduces the idea of competition between state schools, a fundamental change to the original "neighbourhood comprehensive" model, and is partly intended as a means by which schools that are perceived to be inferior are forced either to improve or, if hardly anyone wants to go there, to close down. Government policy is currently promoting 'specialisation' whereby parents choose a secondary school appropriate for their child's interests and skills. Most initiatives focus on parental choice and information, implementing a pseudo-market incentive to encourage better schools. This logic has underpinned the controversial league tables of school performance. Please answer a question about this article. If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable". In what year was the Education Reform Act made into law?

The sandwich and salad were good, but overpriced. However, the service was so bad, I won't be back. When we mentioned we'd like to move to the outside tables, the manager (?) said we couldn't take the silverware out there. Ummmm that's weird, but fine. I complied, left our silverware inside and proceeded out. Waited for him to bring us plastic ware as promised. After staring at our salads for a couple minutes, I poked my head back inside and he was chatting with another employee. Ok, just grabbed the silverware off the table to use until he brought us the required plastic forks. 15 mins later, we are done eating. Plastic forks never arrived. Refills of tea never arrived. Check never arrived. So my friend goes inside to pay the bill and mentions that we were completely ignored. This same manager proceeds to scold her for bringing out the forks! Wow. Not cool.

On November 2, Plymouth Colony governor Josiah Winslow led a combined force of colonial militia against the Narragansett tribe. The Narragansetts had not been directly involved in the war, but they had sheltered many of the Wampanoag fighters, women, and children. Some of their warriors had participated in several Indian attacks. The colonists distrusted the tribe and did not understand the various alliances. As the colonial forces went through Rhode Island, they found and burned several Indian towns which had been abandoned by the Narragansetts, who had retreated to a massive fort in a frozen swamp. The cold weather in December froze the swamp so that it was relatively easy to traverse. The colonial force found the Narragansett fort on December 19, 1675 near present-day South Kingstown, Rhode Island; they attacked in a combined force of Plymouth, Massachusetts, and Connecticut militia numbering about 1,000 men, including about 150 Pequots and Mohican Indian allies. The fierce battle that followed is known as the Great Swamp Fight. It is believed that the militia killed about 600 Narragansetts. They burned the fort of land) and destroyed most of the tribe's winter stores. Most of the Narragansett warriors escaped into the frozen swamp. The colonists lost many of their officers in this assault; about 70 of their men were killed and nearly 150 more wounded. The rest of the colonial assembled forces returned to their homes, lacking supplies for an extended campaign. The nearby towns in Rhode Island provided care for the wounded until they could return to their homes. What happened second: the Great Swamp Fight or Rhode Island towns helped wounded?

He says he came armed to Thursday's show with extra meds to deal with the jokes.

Please write a short summary for the following article: No winner in first vote to elect new pope Rome (CNN) -- Black smoke billowed from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel Tuesday night, indicating that cardinals gathered at the Vatican to elect a new pope had not chosen one in the first ballot of their conclave. The start of the secret election got underway earlier in the day, as the heavy wooden doors to the chapel swung closed on the 115 Roman Catholic cardinals charged with selecting the next pontiff. The next round of voting will begin Wednesday morning. Results will be revealed by puffs of smoke from the chimney following each ballot. Black smoke, no pope. White smoke, success. On a day rich with symbolism, the scarlet-clad cardinals entered the Sistine Chapel in solemn procession, chanting prayers and watched over by the paintings of Renaissance artist Michelangelo. Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Photos: Vatican prepares to choose a pope Led by the conclave's senior cardinal, Giovanni Battista Re, each of the cardinal-electors -- those under age 80 who are eligible to vote -- then swore an oath of secrecy. A designated official then gave the order, in Latin, to those not authorized to remain, "Extra omnes" -- that is, "Everyone out." With all those not taking part in the conclave gone, the cardinals will remain locked in isolation until one candidate garners two-thirds of their votes. That man will emerge from the process as the new spiritual leader of the world's 1.2 billion Roman Catholics. Huddled under umbrellas as rain came down, crowds of onlookers watched on big screens set up in St. Peter's Square until the doors to the Sistine Chapel were shut. Earlier, the cardinals celebrated a morning Mass at St. Peter's Basilica, where they prayed for guidance in making a choice that could be crucial to the direction of a church rocked by scandal in recent years. Applause echoed around St. Peter's as Cardinal Angelo Sodano, dean of the College of Cardinals, offered thanks for the "brilliant pontificate" of Benedict XVI, whose unexpected resignation precipitated the selection of a new pope. Sodano's homily focused on a message of love and unity, calling on all to cooperate with the new pontiff in the service of the church. "My brothers, let us pray that the Lord will grant us a pontiff who will embrace this noble mission with a generous heart," he concluded. Members of the public had waited in long lines Tuesday morning to join the Mass. As the service began, the morning sunshine came to an abrupt end, with the skies letting loose thunder, lightning and a torrential downpour. Before the service, the cardinal-electors had moved into Casa Santa Marta, their residence at the Vatican for the duration of the conclave. Jamming devices have been put in place to stop them from communicating with the outside world via mobile phones or other electronic means as they make their decision. Rome was abuzz Monday with preparations for the conclave, from the 5,600 journalists the Vatican said had been accredited to cover the event to the red curtains unfurled from the central balcony at St. Peter's, the spot where the world will meet the new pope once he is elected. Tailors have completed sets of clothes for the new pope to wear as soon as he is elected, in three sizes. Video released by the Vatican over the weekend showed the installation of a pair of stoves inside the chapel. One is used to burn the cardinals' ballots after they are cast and the other to send up the smoke signal -- the one that alerts the world that a vote has been taken and whether there's a new pope. Workers scaled the roof of the chapel Saturday to install the chimneys. When cardinals elected Benedict in 2005, the white smoke signaling the decision came about six hours after an earlier, inconclusive vote, Lombardi said. It took another 50 minutes for Benedict to dress, pray and finally appear on the balcony of St. Peter's, he said. The longest conclave held since the turn of the 20th century lasted five days. On Monday, cardinals held the last of several days of meetings, known as General Congregations, to discuss church affairs and get acquainted. Lombardi said 152 cardinals were on hand for the final meeting. As well as getting to know their counterparts from around the world, the cardinals discussed the major issues facing the church, including its handling of allegations of child sex abuse by priests and a scandal over leaks from the Vatican last year that revealed claims of corruption, as well as the church's future direction. Church rules prevent cardinals over the age of 80 from participating in the conclave but allow them to attend the meetings that precede the vote. Meanwhile, the Italian news media are full of speculation about which cardinal may win enough support from his counterparts to be elected, and what regional alliances are being formed. According to CNN Vatican analyst John Allen, also a correspondent for the National Catholic Reporter, the race was wide open as the cardinals entered the conclave. Unlike in 2005, when Benedict XVI was believed to be the favorite going into the election, no one has emerged as a clear frontrunner this time around, Allen said. Some names have cropped up in media reports as possible contenders, however. They include Italy's Cardinal Angelo Scola; Brazil's Odilo Scherer; Marc Ouellet of Quebec, Canada; U.S. cardinals Sean O'Malley of Boston and Timothy Dolan of New York; and Ghana's Peter Turkson. More than 80% of Africans believe their continent is ready for an African pope, but only 61% believe the world is, an exclusive survey for CNN has found. A mobile phone survey of 20,000 Africans from 11 nations, conducted by CNN in conjunction with crowd sourcing company Jana, found that 86% thought an African pope would increase support for Catholicism in Africa. Italy potentially wields the most power within the conclave, with 28 of the 115 votes, making it the largest bloc in the College of Cardinals. The United States is second with 11. Altogether, 48 countries are represented among the cardinal-electors. "Many would say it's all about politics at this point," Monsignor Rick Hilgartner, head of U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Secretariat on Divine Worship, told CNN, "but I think it's important to remember that they also recognize that this is a very spiritual moment." Once the doors close and the conclave begins, he says, it's less about politicking and "more about prayer as they each in silence write their votes." Sixty-seven of the cardinal-electors were appointed by Benedict, who stepped down at the end of last month, becoming the first pontiff to do so in six centuries. CNN's Dan Rivers and Richard Allen Greene reported from Rome, and Laura Smith-Spark wrote and reported in London. CNN's Hada Messia, Ed Payne and Michael Pearson and journalist Livia Borghese also contributed to this report. Summary:
The Sistine Chapel's wooden doors swung closed Tuesday, signaling the start of the secret election, or conclave, in which the next pope will be elected.

The matches were shown in 8 cinemas in Italy and 2 in Spain. The connection with Spain was made via the Olympus satellite link from Rome to Barcelona and then with a fiber optic connection from Barcelona to Madrid. After some HDTV transmissions in Europe the standard was abandoned in the mid-1990s. When did Europe not abandon standard transmission?

Choose how you want this story to end. Abu Dhabi (CNN) -- We are seeing the deadliest sectarian violence in Iraq since 2008 and that is causing major setbacks for Baghdad's aspiration to challenge Saudi Arabia as the top oil producer. The latest figures from Iraq's ministry of energy illustrate the direct link between the violence and the country's oil output. In May, monthly production hit nearly 77 million barrels in the two major regions Basra and Kirkuk. That sunk, the ministry said, to fewer than 70 million in June as daily production tumbled to less than three million barrels a day. According to the U.N., the death toll jumped from 595 killed in April to 963 in May -- and more than 1,000 were killed in July. Instead of production sharing agreements (PSAs as they are known) when international oil producers take a percentage of each field, OPTIONS: - Abu Dhabi went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. - Baghdad went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. - Basra went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. - CNN went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. - Iraq went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. - John Defterios went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. - Kirkuk went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. - Saudi Arabia went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice. - U.N. went with service contracts -- paying companies only for services such as workers and technical advice.

Tesla's New Competitor: The Electric Utilities The State of California’s Public Utility Commission has authorized Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) to install 7,500 electric car charging stations in Northern California which is in addition to 5,000 for San Diego Gas & Electric and Southern California Edison. This places very large utility companies squarely in the mix of the electric car revolution. Since one of electric car buyers biggest concerns is “range anxiety” having so many available may not eliminate the concern but should help to mitigate it. Having an additional 12,000 electric car charging locations in California would be close to the 13,500 gas stations in the state. Many of the stations will be at work-places and multi-unit apartment buildings. While they are not equivalent since gas stations are located in public places and easy to spot you also have to consider that there are already thousands of charging locations that can found in apps such as Blink, ChargePoint, Open Charge Map and PlugShare. And there are probably thousands if not more than 10,000 people who “fill-up” at home. Overall the electric car “refueling” distribution ecosystem will be very different than gasoline stations. Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla Motors Inc. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File) Keep in mind that PG&E wanted to build 25,000 locations and the company estimates that it will need 100,000 in place by 2025 to reach the State’s goal of 1.5 million zero-emissions vehicles on the road. PG&E estimates that there are about 100,000 customers currently driving electric cars. It would not be a surprise to see the number of public charging locations increase dramatically over the next few years. One downside to the PG&E locations is that it will take three to six hours to recharge a vehicle vs. 20 to 30 minutes at a fast-charging location. Also there may be a cost for a driver to use many of them, which is unknown how much it will be at this time. Some locations will be free (subsidized by the location that it is at) while others will have a monthly or usage fee or both. And locations that one may want to use for work and home can be with different companies so you have to use multiple apps and belong to multiple organizations. Overall the electricity charges should be lower than the cost of gasoline but it isn’t as if there will be free energy available everywhere. One of the bull cases for Tesla has been its charging network and so far other car companies haven’t matched it. The PG&E proposal was backed by a large range of organizations including the Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers, Honda, General Motors, Plug In America and the Sierra Club. Leveraging large electric providers is one way for the other automobile manufactures to lessen the advantage of Tesla’s Supercharger ecosystem. While the State of California’s plan does not entirely negate Tesla’s position it does make a huge dent considering that Tesla has 53 Supercharger and 489 Destination Charging (hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, wineries and resorts; 62 of which are AirBnB affiliated) locations in California as of December 26, 2016. The PG&E locations may also increase the number of locations that Tesla cars can be charged but that positive does not counteract the benefits to the other car companies. What are the most important parts of this text?
In California the big utility companies will be helping Tesla’s competitors.

George VI: Albert spent the first six months of 1913 on the training ship HMS Cumberland in the West Indies and on the east coast of Canada. He was rated as a midshipman aboard HMS Collingwood on 15 September 1913, and spent three months in the Mediterranean. His fellow officers gave him the nickname "Mr. Johnson". One year after his commission, he began service in the First World War. He was mentioned in despatches for his action as a turret officer aboard Collingwood in the Battle of Jutland (31 May – 1 June 1916), an indecisive engagement with the German navy that was the largest naval action of the war. He did not see further combat, largely because of ill health caused by a duodenal ulcer, for which he had an operation in November 1917. Please answer a question about this article.

Bradbury was born on August 22, 1920, in Waukegan, Illinois, to Esther (nee Moberg) Bradbury (1888-1966), a Swedish immigrant, and Leonard Spaulding Bradbury (1890-1957), a power and telephone lineman of English descent. He was given the middle name "Douglas" after the actor Douglas Fairbanks. Bradbury was related to the American Shakespeare scholar Douglas Spaulding and descended from Mary Bradbury, who was tried at one of the Salem witch trials in 1692. Throughout his youth, Bradbury was an avid reader and writer and knew at a young age that he was "going into one of the arts." Bradbury began writing his own stories at age 11 (1931), during the Great Depression -- sometimes writing on the only available paper, butcher paper. In his youth, he spent much time in the Carnegie library in Waukegan, reading such authors as H. G. Wells, Jules Verne, and Edgar Allan Poe. At 12, Bradbury began writing traditional horror stories and said he tried to imitate Poe until he was about 18. In addition to comics, he loved Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan of the Apes, especially Burroughs' John Carter of Mars series. The Warlord of Mars impressed him so much that at the age of 12, he wrote his own sequel. The young Bradbury was also a cartoonist and loved to illustrate. He wrote about Tarzan and drew his own Sunday panels. He listened to the radio show Chandu the Magician, and every night when the show went off the air, he would sit and write the entire script from memory. As a teen in Beverly Hills, he often visited his mentor and friend science-fiction writer Bob Olsen, sharing ideas and maintaining contact. In 1936, at a secondhand bookstore in Hollywood, Bradbury discovered a handbill promoting meetings of the Los Angeles Science Fiction Society. Excited to find there were others sharing his interest, Bradbury joined a weekly Thursday-night conclave at age 16. At age 17, Bradbury read stories published in Astounding Science Fiction, and read everything by Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and the early writings of Theodore Sturgeon and A. E. van Vogt. Bradbury cited H. G. Wells and Jules Verne as his primary science-fiction influences. Bradbury identified with Verne, saying, "He believes the human being is in a strange situation in a very strange world, and he believes that we can triumph by behaving morally". Bradbury admitted that he stopped reading science-fiction books in his 20s and embraced a broad field of literature that included Alexander Pope and poet John Donne. Bradbury had just graduated from high school when he met Robert Heinlein, then 31 years old. Bradbury recalled, "He was well known, and he wrote humanistic science fiction, which influenced me to dare to be human instead of mechanical." Ask a question about this article.

When Macau unveiled record gambling revenues on Tuesday, the government was silent about the source of much of the cash fuelling the territory's boom: illegal money transfers from mainland China. From pawn shops offering money withdrawal services, to underground banks using human mules to transport cash across the border, Macau tolerates the illicit methods that mainland punters use to bring money into the former Portuguese colony, which reverted to Chinese control in 1999. Mainland tourists, who have made Macau the world's largest gambling centre, can legally bring only Rmb20,000 ($3,175) when crossing into the Chinese territory. But many gamblers bring more cash to the casino tables by using their Unionpay debit card to withdraw money -- for a fee. "There is no risk. We pretend to sell the customer an expensive watch or a piece of jewellery, charge the amount in renminbi to the debit card, and then give him the equivalent amount in Macau patacas or Hong Kong dollars as if the customer had decided to return the object for an immediate cash refund," says the manager of a pawnshop up the street from the Grand Lisboa casino, Macau's oldest casino owned by Stanley Ho, the gambling tycoon. The manager says the cardholder's records will register the transaction as a purchase. Unionpay, which was formed by China's big banks, says it bans such transactions, but the company declined to comment on the fact that the practice remained widespread. The company said it no longer released data on how much cardholders spent in Macau. People familiar with the industry say the Macau government cannot afford to shut down the illegal services, which hundreds of pawn shops advertise publicly on neon signs. "The Macau government's hands are tied," says one veteran Macau policeman. "It is not going to initiate a crackdown, because over 75 per cent of its revenue comes from gaming taxes." About 16m mainland Chinese visited Macau in 2011, an increase of more than 20 per cent on the previous year, and 60 per cent more than the 10m who visited in 2006. Analysts estimate that up to 30 per cent of Macau's gaming revenue could be channelled through illegal channels. "Banking restrictions make it very difficult to transfer funds to Macau legitimately, but it is easy for people to find ways [around the rules]," says a senior Chinese bank manager who gambles in Macau. While the debit card cashback service is the most visible source of money for the less well-heeled punters, those with deeper pockets have found different ways to avoid the restrictions. VIP punters -- whom analysts estimate generate 70 per cent of Macau's gaming revenues -- gamble on credit provided by so-called junket operators who seek out wealthy mainland gamblers. The junket operators receive commissions from the casinos or get a share of the profits. They, or their agents, sometimes use underground banks to return the money they have collected as debt on the mainland to Macau. The lenders use criminal gangs from Fujian and Guangdong provinces who in turn pay human mules as little as $5 -- compared with Guangdong's average daily wage of $7 -- to smuggle cash across the border. While the underground banks are part of what is known as the shadow banking system in China, providing credit to cash-strapped companies, their Macau-related business is limited to transferring money from other sources. One former junket operator and a Hong Kong owner of a mainland factory in Guangdong province, just across the border from Macau, described how operators also use Hong Kong business people who own companies on the mainland to transfer money illegally. He said operators handed over renminbi debts collected on the mainland to the factory owner, who used the money to pay his staff wages. Then, the owner sent the equivalent in Hong Kong dollars from his Hong Kong bank account to the operator's account in Macau. Both sides profited by agreeing a mutually beneficial exchange rate. There is no public data available to indicate exactly how much of Macau's gaming revenue comes from illegal channels, and casino operators and government officials refuse to speak about the issue. Macau's Gaming Inspection and Co-ordination Bureau refused to comment. "Neither the Macau government nor Beijing wishes to damage the Macau economy. There's good reason to keep the scale of illegal transactions a closely guarded secret so nobody needs to take action," says the police officer. While Beijing does not condone gambling on the mainland, it has so far not cracked down on the illegal transfers. Analysts say it is unlikely to take action as the Chinese Communist party does not want to destabilise Macau just 13 years after the city returned to Chinese rule. "Beijing is unlikely to take measures such as tightening visa restrictions or clamping down on debit card cashback services, as long as Macau is seen as a safe and enjoyable place to visit and casino operators refrain from activities or comments that might portray the city in a bad light," says Grant Govertsen, the Macau-based managing partner at Union Gaming Research, a US research group. © The Financial Times Limited 2012. Here is a summary of the highlights for this article:
Macau tolerates illicit methods to bring money into the former Portuguese colony. Underground banks using human mules to transport cash across the border. Macau had record gambling revenues from 16M mainland visitors last year.

Here is a question about this article: In a traditional village, the monastery is the centre of cultural life. Monks are venerated and supported by the lay people. A novitiation ceremony called shinbyu is the most important coming of age events for a boy, during which he enters the monastery for a short time. All male children in Buddhist families are encouraged to be a novice (beginner for Buddhism) before the age of twenty and to be a monk after the age of twenty. Girls have ear-piercing ceremonies (နားသ) at the same time. Burmese culture is most evident in villages where local festivals are held throughout the year, the most important being the pagoda festival. Many villages have a guardian nat, and superstition and taboos are commonplace. What is the answer to this question: What do many villages have that protects them in times of imminent or impending danger ?
Many villages have a guardian nat

Write an article based on this summary: Prepare to use a circular saw safely. Cut down the lines you marked on the stringer with a circular saw. Finish your cuts with a handsaw. Trim the bottom and top of the stringer. Use the first finished stringer as a template. Article:
Put on your personal protective equipment, including safety glasses. It's also important to use general safety precautions when using a circular saw. These include keeping your body parts away from the blade while the tool is running and being sure that the cord is out of the path of the tool as it's running. You should also clamp down your stringer board, so that it doesn’t move while you cut it. Start the saw running before it makes contact with the wood. Then slowly work the saw in from the outer edge of the mark towards where it ends, where the rise and run meet. Leave about .5 inches (1.3 cm) of the line uncut, which you will finish with a hand saw. Cutting beyond where the rise and run lines meet can severely weaken your structure. Instead of accidently going too far with the circular saw, choose to finish your cuts with a handsaw so that you can be exact. Cut the top of the stringer along the first rise line. Then trim the bottom run line, which was marked so that it is shorter than the others by an amount equal to the thread thickness of your stairs. Use this one as a stringer template for all of your other stringers so they all match exactly. In most cases, you will need only 1 or 2 more stringers, although a very wide stairway could require more.

Complete the passage: pick from possible candidates. Washington (CNN) -- Two things motivate House Speaker John Boehner in his showdown with Democrats and President Barack Obama, sources close to him say -- one personal, one philosophical. The personal one is evident through how he deals with his caucus of 232 Republicans, especially the unruly tea party group. Boehner originally did not want to tie a contentious effort to defund Obamacare to spending legislation needed to avert a shutdown. He expressed that sentiment as far back as March. "Our goal here is to cut spending. It's not to shut down the government," Boehner said. "I believe that trying to put Obamacare on this vehicle risks shutting down the government. That's not what our goal is." The philosophical part of this equation is Boehner's concern about the debt and his belief that OPTIONS: - Barack Obama doesn't get it. - Boehner doesn't get it. - CNN doesn't get it. - Democrats doesn't get it. - Gingrich doesn't get it. - House doesn't get it. - John Boehner doesn't get it. - Newt Gingrich doesn't get it. - Obamacare doesn't get it. - Washington doesn't get it.

Read this and answer the question. If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable". The record attendance for an Everton home match is 78,299 against Liverpool on 18 September 1948. Amazingly, there was only 1 injury at this game-Tom Fleetwood was hit on the head by a coin thrown from the crowd whilst he marched around the perimeter with St Edward's Orphanage Band, playing the cornet. Goodison Park, like all major English football grounds since the recommendations of the Taylor Report were implemented, is now an all-seater and only holds just under 40,000, meaning it is unlikely that this attendance record will ever be broken at Goodison. Everton's record transfer paid was to Chelsea for Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku for a sum of £28m. Everton bought the player after he played the previous year with the team on loan. How much did it cost to build Goodison Park?

Answer based on context: According to the 2010 United States Census, the City and County of Denver contained 600,158 people and 285,797 households. The population density was 3,698 inhabitants per square mile (1,428/km²) including the airport. There were 285,797 housing units at an average density of 1,751 per square mile (676/km²). However, the average density throughout most Denver neighborhoods tends to be higher. Without the 80249 zip code (47.3 sq mi, 8,407 residents) near the airport, the average density increases to around 5,470 per square mile.Age distribution was 22.0% under the age of 18, 10.7% from 18 to 24, 36.1% from 25 to 44, 20.0% from 45 to 64, and 11.3% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age is 33 years. Overall there were 102.1 males for every 100 females, but in 2015 for the category of never-married ages 25 to 34, there were 121.4 males for every 100 females. Due to a skewed sex ratio wherein single men outnumber single women, some protologists have nicknamed the city as Menver. Are there more females or males in Denver?

Summarize this article in one sentence. Cut off another piece of paper to make a handle. If you used a piece of printer paper, your handle should be about 6" (15 cm) long and 1" (2.5 cm) wide. If you're hanging it, however, you don't necessarily need a handle -- it can be hung through the base on ribbon or string. If you're hanging the lantern, however, you don't necessarily need a handle -- it can be hung through the base on ribbon or string. You can put a candle inside, hang it from the ceiling, or use it as a centerpiece. Since the lantern is made of paper, only put a tea candle or votive in the center if you have a glass to put it in. Place the candle in the glass and put the lantern around the glass to light it up. It's best if the glass is deep so the flame doesn't sear the edge of the lantern and start a fire. Only use a candle inside if you are sitting the lantern on a flat surface, not if you are hanging it or using the handle. Summary:
Make the handle. Enjoy the finished product.

Stretch your shoes overnight by filling them with water, then freezing them. The easiest way to do that is to place a resealable plastic bag that’s about halfway full of water into the shoe. Make sure the bag is sealed tightly so you don’t spill any water in the inside of the shoe, as this could damage the insole. If you're concerned the bag might break, use 2 bags instead, placing one inside the other. You can try this with any type of shoe, but it might work better for open-toe, peep-toe, or athletic styles. If the toe box on your shoes is very narrow, it might be hard to arrange the bag so it reaches all the way down into the shoe, and it might not stretch evenly. Leave the shoes in the freezer for several hours or overnight. Give the shoes enough time to make sure the water is frozen completely solid. Putting your shoes on a tray or a baking sheet will keep the bottom of your shoes from touching a surface your food might come in contact with. You can also place them into a large bag or on a sheet or parchment paper. However, you can just put them directly into the freezer, if you want. Once the ice is completely frozen, take the shoes out of the freezer. Leave them in a warm, dry place for about 15-30 minutes, or until the ice starts to melt. Then, wiggle the bag back and forth until you can remove it from the shoe. It’s better not to let the ice thaw out all the way. If there are any holes in the bag, the water could leak into the shoe and damage it. Summary:
Fill a resealable bag halfway with water and place it in the shoe. Place the shoes onto a tray and place the tray in the freezer. Leave the shoes at room temperature for 15-30 minutes, then remove the bag.
