what was disney's 1930 first feature- length animation
|
[
"Walt Disney Animation Studios In 1934, Walt Disney gathered several key staff members and announced his plans to make his first feature animated film. Despite derision from most of the film industry, who dubbed the production \"Disney's Folly,\" Disney proceeded undaunted into the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,[37] which would become the first animated feature in English and Technicolor. Considerable training and development went into the production of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and the studio greatly expanded with established animators, artists from other fields, and recent college graduates joining the studio to work on the film. The training classes, supervised by the head animators such as Les Clark, Norm Ferguson, and Art Babbit and taught by Donald W. Graham, an art teacher from the nearby Chouinard Art Institute,[11][37] had begun at the studio in 1932 and were greatly expanded into orientation training and continuing education classes.[11][37] In the course of teaching the classes, Graham and the animators created or formalized many of the techniques and processes that became the key tenets and principles of traditional animation.[11] Silly Symphonies such as The Goddess of Spring (1934) and The Old Mill (1937) served as experimentation grounds for new techniques such as the animation of realistic human figures, special effects animation, the use of the multiplane camera,[38] an invention which split animation artwork layers into several planes, allowing the camera to appear to move dimensionally through an animated scene.[39] Winnie the Pooh (Disney character) In 1961, Walt Disney Productions licensed certain film and other rights to the characters, stories and trademarks from Stephen Slesinger, Inc. and the estate of A. A. Milne. and made a series of cartoon films about him. The early cartoons were based on several of the original stories and the distinctive images made popular by Stephen Slesinger, Inc. during the 1930s through 1960s. Alongside the cartoon versions, which Disney adapted from Slesinger, Slesinger's simplified lines and pastel color adaptations of Shepard's classical drawings are now marketed under the description \"Classic Pooh\". Beauty and the Beast (1991 film) Decades later, during the production of Who Framed Roger Rabbit in 1987, the Disney studio resurrected Beauty and the Beast as a project for the satellite animation studio it had set up in London, England to work on Roger Rabbit. Richard Williams, who had directed the animated portions of Roger Rabbit, was approached to direct but declined in favor of continuing work on his long-gestating project The Thief and the Cobbler. In his place, Williams recommended his colleague, English animation director Richard Purdum, and work began under producer Don Hahn on a non-musical version of Beauty and the Beast set in 19th-century France.[31] At the behest of Disney CEO Michael Eisner, Beauty and the Beast became the first Disney animated film to use a screenwriter. This was an unusual production move for an animated film, which is traditionally developed on storyboards rather than in scripted form. Linda Woolverton wrote the original draft of the story before storyboarding began, and worked with the story team to retool and develop the film.[32] Copyright Term Extension Act Since 1990, The Walt Disney Company had lobbied for copyright extension.[12][13] The legalisation delayed the entry into the public domain of the earliest Mickey Mouse movies, leading detractors to the nickname \"The Mickey Mouse Protection Act\".[4] Mickey Mouse Mickey Mouse is a funny animal cartoon character and the mascot of The Walt Disney Company. He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios in 1928. An anthropomorphic mouse who typically wears red shorts, large yellow shoes, and white gloves, Mickey is one of the world's most recognizable characters. Cinderella (2015 Disney film) Cinderella is a 2015 American romantic fantasy film directed by Kenneth Branagh, with a screenplay written by Chris Weitz. The film is based on the eponymous folk tale and inspired in part by Walt Disney's 1950 animated film of the same name.[4] The film stars Lily James as the titular character with Richard Madden, Cate Blanchett, Stellan Skarsgård, Holliday Grainger, Derek Jacobi, and Helena Bonham Carter. It is produced by David Barron, Simon Kinberg, and Allison Shearmur for Walt Disney Pictures."

Today is Tuesday, October 2, 2012. What are the forts in Beemster transformed into?
|
[
"Friday, September 21, 2012. Trail of the unexpected: 400 years of a Dutch delight\nThe bunting's out, flags are fluttering from windows and ribbons of red, green, yellow and blue are wrapped around almost every tree. Beemster is celebrating. But of the four colours that represent this sleepy Dutch municipality, 20km north of Amsterdam, only two symbolise its intriguing past. Green for the bucolic meadows and farmland that you see here today and blue for the vast lake that once stood here. Four hundred years ago, the quiet country lanes and bright tulip fields weren't here. Before 1612, this vast polder was the haunt of fishermen until it was drained and the land reclaimed in an effort to protect the capital from flooding. It was a bold project which showed off Dutch engineering at its most innovative. However, the transition wasn't trouble-free. Considered part of the greater capital area, its proximity to Amsterdam ensured it became the holiday destination of choice for 17th-century city slickers. Sprawling estates were commissioned, grand summer houses erected, and balmy days enjoyed amid windmills and grazing cows. Today, Beemster is still an easy escape from Amsterdam, and a cluster of B&Bs makes it an attractive overnight option. I checked into the Old Marketgarden run by Joop and Aus Verhoef. I was born in Beemster and could never live anywhere else. Amsterdam is only half an hour away, yet we are surrounded by unspoilt countryside,\" said Aus as she showed off the outdoor pool, sauna and hot tub. However, indulgence would have to wait, as my guide Jaap had arrived for our cycling trip. We set off along one of many long, straight and flat roads that form a grid across the former lake bed - a design that helped Beemster to win Unesco World Heritage status in 1999. Talk soon turned to Beemster's transformation. \"Work began in 1607,\" said Jaap. The water was scooped away using windmills and long dikes that drained it to the North Sea. The local fishermen were up in arms, of course. \"They tried to sabotage the whole thing but they needn't have bothered,\" continued Jaap. In 1610, a storm swept through the region, flooding the lake once again and very nearly spelling the end of the project. Nevertheless, work pressed on. The windmill count was upped from 16 to 43 and water levels soon dropped. The main street in Middenbeemster - the first town to be founded - was quiet. Unattended bikes were left leaning against the red-brick buildings. There's no need for locks and chains in these parts. We paused outside the 17th-century church. During the town's early years, women bound for mass would insist on being carried on their husband's backs. It took decades for the ground to dry out fully and the women weren't taking any chances with their dresses. Heading west, the grandest of all Beemster's summer estates appeared by the roadside. With a pyramid-shaped roof, groomed hedges and neat lawns, Eenhoorn took shape in 1682 as a holiday home for the well-heeled. It recently sold for €3.5m. Further along, Jaap pointed out a fort in the distance. Constructed in 1912, Benoorden Purmerend is one of 42 forts that form part of a 135km defensive line around Amsterdam. Though never used, the formidable ramparts were designed to ward off attacks from the British, French and Germans. Many have since been transformed into commercial ventures - everything from wineries to spas. We continued on the road until we reached a dead end formed by a canal marking Beemster's western boundary. On the other side, the land rose by several metres. \"This is where the lake once rushed ashore,\" said Jaap. From there we pedalled into De Rijp, a former fishing settlement from the 1300s described by architect Jan Adriaanszoon Leeghwater - the man credited with turning Beemster from water to land - as \"the best village in Holland.\" It was easy to see why. The cobbled streets, wooden locks and narrow canals, and the quaint redbrick houses made an idyllic picture. Over lunch at the cosy and family-run Weapon of Munster Café, I soaked up the surroundings. Locals strolled past the town hall, a stunning example of Dutch Renaissance architecture. That afternoon, we gave our weary legs a rest by changing our mode of transport. Beemster may be terra firma now, but it's still possible to take to the water. The engine of our small blue boat purred softly as it navigated the labyrinthine waterways of Eilandspolder, a protected nature reserve on the periphery of Beemster. Travelling at a snail's pace, we cruised by spindly reeds and grazing lambs. Overhead, geese took to the skies and distant jumbo jets descended towards Schiphol airport. \"Farmers used to get around on boats like this,\" said Jaap. Their cattle would spend the summer on small peat islands and they would sail across the lake to milk them. While I was cycling back, a curious sign caught my eye. Looking at me was a depiction of a cow wearing, of all things, a snorkel. Written underneath was \"400 years of dry feet.\" Even the cows are celebrating.

"Trail of the unexpected: 400 years of a Dutch delight\nThe bunting's out, flags are fluttering from windows and ribbons of red, green, yellow and blue are wrapped around almost every tree.",
"Beemster is celebrating.",
"But of the four colours that represent this sleepy Dutch municipality, 20km north of Amsterdam, only two symbolise its intriguing past.",
"Green for the bucolic meadows and farmland that you see here today and blue for the vast lake that once stood here.",
"Four hundred years ago, the quiet country lanes and bright tulip fields weren't here.",
"Before 1612, this vast polder was the haunt of fishermen until it was drained and the land reclaimed in an effort to protect the capital from flooding.",
"It was a bold project which showed off Dutch engineering at its most innovative.",
"However, the transition wasn't trouble-free.",
"Considered part of the greater capital area, its proximity to Amsterdam ensured it became the holiday destination of choice for 17th-century city slickers.",
"Sprawling estates were commissioned, grand summer houses erected, and balmy days enjoyed amid windmills and grazing cows.",
"Today, Beemster is still an easy escape from Amsterdam, and a cluster of B&Bs makes it an attractive overnight option.",
"I checked into the Old Marketgarden run by Joop and Aus Verhoef.",
"I was born in Beemster and could never live anywhere else.",
"Amsterdam is only half an hour away, yet we are surrounded by unspoilt countryside,\" said Aus as she showed off the outdoor pool, sauna and hot tub.",
"However, indulgence would have to wait, as my guide Jaap had arrived for our cycling trip.",
"We set off along one of many long, straight and flat roads that form a grid across the former lake bed - a design that helped Beemster to win Unesco World Heritage status in 1999.",
"Talk soon turned to Beemster's transformation.",
"\"Work began in 1607,\" said Jaap.",
"The water was scooped away using windmills and long dikes that drained it to the North Sea.",
"The local fishermen were up in arms, of course.",
"\"They tried to sabotage the whole thing but they needn't have bothered,\" continued Jaap.",
"In 1610, a storm swept through the region, flooding the lake once again and very nearly spelling the end of the project.",
"Nevertheless, work pressed on.",
"The windmill count was upped from 16 to 43 and water levels soon dropped.",
"The main street in Middenbeemster - the first town to be founded - was quiet.",
"Unattended bikes were left leaning against the red-brick buildings.",
"There's no need for locks and chains in these parts.",
"We paused outside the 17th-century church.",
"During the town's early years, women bound for mass would insist on being carried on their husband's backs.",

how to make finger nail polish last longer
|
[
"4. Avoid getting any polish on your cuticles, which lifts the paint from the nail and leads to chipping. Don't cut your cuticles, but you can push them back using cuticle oil and an orange stick or a pusher tool to prevent paint from getting on them. 5. Use a sticky basecoat to make the polish last longer. To preserve your polish both in the bottle and on your nails, I recommend always following the 5 Doâs and Donâts of nail polish: 1 Donât use nail polish remover to thin your polish. 2 Do use thinner drops. 3 Donât store polish in the bathroom. Do store in a cool, dark place with a consistent temperature I suggest the best place to store your lacquer here. Is it even possible to make a manicure last by just using good olâ regular polish? Yes! Whether you do it yourself or go to a nail salon, you really can make a manicure last longer. The polish may not stick around as long as gel or acrylics, but certainly more than the couple of days youâre used to getting. Consider these tips to make your manicure last: Clean and dry. Nail polish wonât adhere to dirty nails, so the cleaner the nail bed the better and the longer your polish will last. So recently I began experimenting with different strategies to get the color to last and by following these steps, have actually been able to keep a (regular, non-gel) manicure fresh for up to a week. Hereâs how I make my nail color last longer: 1. Paint short nails.necdotally, Iâve noticed that my nail color does seem to last longer when itâs applied a day or two after trimming my nails. Filing nails with a soft emery board can help buff freshly-cut nail edges and gently get them into the right shape. Just make sure to gently file in only one direction. 2. Add a fast-drying top coat. Those clear top coats of nail polish are popular for a reason - they help your nails to dry speedy fast. Finish off your nail polish with a fast-drying clear topcoat. Not only will it help the polish to cure faster, it will protect it longer from chipping. But these tricks help... 1 A fresh swipe of topcoat every other day on your manicure and once a week on your pedicure will keep the polish from chipping. Check out 8 Secrets to Making Your Manicure Last Longer. When it comes to chipped polish, a nail buffer is your best friend."

is isomaltose a reducing sugar?
|
[
"Both of the sugars are glucose, which is a pyranose sugar. Isomaltose is a reducing sugar. Isomaltose is produced when high maltose syrup is treated with the enzyme transglucosidase (TG) and is one of the major components in the mixture isomaltooligosaccharide. Reducing sugars are sugars where the anomeric carbon has an OH group attached that can reduce other compounds. Non-reducing sugars do not have an OH group attached to the anomeric carbon so they cannot reduce other compounds. ... Maltose and lactose are reducing sugars, while sucrose is a non-reducing sugar. All monosaccharides are reducing sugars because they either have an aldehyde group (if they are aldoses) or can tautomerize in solution to form an aldehyde group (if they are ketoses). This includes common monosaccharides like galactose, glucose, glyceraldehyde, fructose, ribose, and xylose. In foods, glucose is most commonly bound to another simple sugar to form either polysaccharide starches or disaccharides, such as sucrose and lactose ( 1 ). It's often added to processed foods in the form of dextrose, which is extracted from cornstarch. Glucose is less sweet than fructose and sucrose ( 2 ). Xylitol and Stevia are both low GI natural sugar substitutes, low in calories. However, that is where the similarities end between the two. Xylitol, unlike Stevia, has proven health benefits, thus making it far superior to all other natural sugar alternatives. Photosynthesis, which builds sugars out of smaller molecules, is a \"building up,\" or anabolic, pathway. In contrast, cellular respiration breaks sugar down into smaller molecules and is a \"breaking down,\" or catabolic, pathway."

How long do you need to cook bacon in the microwave as of July 2020?
|
[
"Friday, March 16, 2018. Delish reveal how adding water gives bacon an extra crunch\nKitchen testers conducted experiment to find best way of cooking bacon\nTeam at Delish found that adding enough water to cover pan will make it crispy\nIt will also stop bacon fat from splattering all over the kitchen, it's said\nBy Imogen Blake For Mailonline\nIt's all too easy to end up with limp and greasy strips of bacon when frying in a pan but now cooking experts have shared a hack that guarantees crispy slices every time. Kitchen testers at food website Delish conducted an experiment to find out if adding a splash of water to a pan helps make bacon slices crispier. The test showed that water not only gives the meat a crunch, but also stops bacon fat from dangerous spitting. Delish put two methods to the test: frying in a pan on a high heat, and frying strips in a pan with enough water to cover the bottom of a pan, on a high heat as well. The bacon cooked the normal way ended up crispy, but the chef ended up with far more bacon grease splatters on the stovetop and on her apron. The bacon cooked with water did not splatter, and also resulted in stronger, less brittle and even crispier slices, the findings showed. The bacon was also 'slightly chewy'. Delish concluded that the test proved that the best way to cook bacon on the stove is to add enough water to cover the bottom of a pan. However the experts revealed that when cooking six slices of bacon or more, their full-proof technique for crispy bacon is to cook it at 400 degrees Farenheit in the oven for 20 minutes. Some chefs swear by cooking their bacon in the microwave. All you have to do is arrange slices of bacon on a plate covered in a double layer of paper towels before covering with another paper towel - these will collect most of the grease. Then cook on high for two minutes, before turning the bacon over and cooking for another two minutes. Repeat until they reach the right crispiness for your liking."

"Delish reveal how adding water gives bacon an extra crunch\nKitchen testers conducted experiment to find best way of cooking bacon\nTeam at Delish found that adding enough water to cover pan will make it crispy\nIt will also stop bacon fat from splattering all over the kitchen, it's said\nBy Imogen Blake For Mailonline\nIt's all too easy to end up with limp and greasy strips of bacon when frying in a pan but now cooking experts have shared a hack that guarantees crispy slices every time.",
"Kitchen testers at food website Delish conducted an experiment to find out if adding a splash of water to a pan helps make bacon slices crispier.",
"The test showed that water not only gives the meat a crunch, but also stops bacon fat from dangerous spitting.",
"Delish put two methods to the test: frying in a pan on a high heat, and frying strips in a pan with enough water to cover the bottom of a pan, on a high heat as well.",
"The bacon cooked the normal way ended up crispy, but the chef ended up with far more bacon grease splatters on the stovetop and on her apron.",
"The bacon cooked with water did not splatter, and also resulted in stronger, less brittle and even crispier slices, the findings showed.",
"The bacon was also 'slightly chewy'.",
"Delish concluded that the test proved that the best way to cook bacon on the stove is to add enough water to cover the bottom of a pan.",
"However the experts revealed that when cooking six slices of bacon or more, their full-proof technique for crispy bacon is to cook it at 400 degrees Farenheit in the oven for 20 minutes.",
"Some chefs swear by cooking their bacon in the microwave.",
"All you have to do is arrange slices of bacon on a plate covered in a double layer of paper towels before covering with another paper towel - these will collect most of the grease.",
"Then cook on high for two minutes, before turning the bacon over and cooking for another two minutes.",
"Repeat until they reach the right crispiness for your liking."

Today is Tuesday, January 12, 2010. Which company was rejected by China for the acquisition of Huiyuan Juice?

"Wednesday, March 18, 2009. China rejects Coke's $2.4 billion bid for Huiyuan Juice\nBEIJING/HONG KONG (Reuters) - China has rejected Coca-Cola's planned $2.4 billion acquisition of top juice maker Huiyuan Juice, saying the deal would have been bad for competition. The acquisition by Coca-Cola would have been the largest-ever takeover of a Chinese company by a foreign rival, and is the latest rebuff for an overseas buyer of a Chinese company. \"This just shows that China is still not open to allowing the takeover of a national brand,\" said Jeffery Lau, an analyst with Polaris Capital. But this is not exactly a huge surprise to the market, protectionism has been on the rise everywhere this year. This also explains why the stock has been trading at a nearly 20 percent discount to the takeover price,\" he said. A Coca-Cola spokesman in Hong Kong did not have an immediate comment, and an official with Huiyuan could not immediately be reached for comment. China's Ministry of Commerce said the deal would have been bad for competition and that Coca-Cola's changes to the deal were insufficient to allay its concerns. \"It's a surprise,\" said Lawrence Chor, analyst at Taifook Securities in Hong Kong. \"I could foresee this deal yielding side effects to other companies investing in China, also to those Chinese companies trying to expose themselves in the overseas market,\" he said. Shares in Huiyuan were suspended from trading earlier on Wednesday after slumping nearly 23 percent following a Financial Times report that said Coca-Cola might drop its bid for Huiyuan after Chinese antitrust regulators signaled it would have had to relinquish the 'China Huiyuan Juice' brand after the acquisition. China's rejection of the deal comes as Australia's Foreign Investment Review Board is considering three big investments by Chinese state-run companies in its mining sector. Last year, after three years of talks, U.S. private equity firm Carlyle Group walked away from a plan to buy Xugong, China's biggest construction equipment maker, after running into bureaucratic obstacles. Coca-Cola spokesman Kenth Kaerhoeg said in an e-mailed statement to Reuters earlier on Wednesday that it would be inappropriate to comment on the approval process. We are focused on the regulatory approval process. We are in very regular contact with the MOC (Ministry of Commerce), and we try to be as helpful as possible in answering questions and providing supplementary information,\" he said. Huiyuan shares have traded below Coca-Cola's offer price, indicating investors doubted the deal would go through. Shares in Huiyuan traded at HK$4.10 on Aug 29. The stock nearly tripled to a high of HK$11.28 right after the deal was announced in early September.

"Friday, June 6, 2008. Oil Skyrockets, Gaining Almost $10 in One Day; Hits Intraday Record\nOil prices shot up nearly $10 to a new record above $137 a barrel Friday after a Morgan Stanley analyst predicted prices could hit $150 by the Fourth of July. The meteoric surge builds on a huge gain the previous day and sets the stage for the biggest two-day gain in the history of the New York Mercantile Exchange. A further weakening of the dollar helped keep prices high by enticing overseas buyers armed with stronger currencies and other investors looking for a hedge against the greenback. Mounting tensions in the Middle East added fuel to the rally. Light, sweet crude for July delivery jumped as high as $137.70 on the Nymex, before easing slightly to $136.45, up $8.66. Prices hit a previous record of $135.09 a barrel on May 22. This latest surge follows a $5.49 gain Thursday, which was the biggest single-day price increase in the history of the Nymex crude contract. Prices pushed sharply higher Friday after Morgan Stanley analyst Ole Slorer said he expected strong demand in Asia could drive prices to $150 by Independence Day, when millions of Americans are expected to take to the roads. Shipments from the Middle East are mimicking patterns seen in the third quarter last year, when Morgan Stanley based its \"oil price spike\" predictions on falling supplies in the Atlantic, he said. \"We made the same call using the same parameters, but now we are starting from much lower inventory levels,\" Slorer said. That spike came as the dollar fell after the European Central Bank suggesting it could raise interest rates. We had a rally of something like $12 in about 24 hours. It makes no fundamental sense,\" said Stephen Schork, an analyst and trader in Villanova, Pa.\nWith oil pushing back up to the mid-$130s, it's the make it or break it point. If we go past that, we set the course for uncharted waters and head up toward $150. James Cordier, president of Tampa, Fla.-based trading firm Liberty Trading Group, predicted prices could rise to $4.25 as early as the end of the month. \"Unfortunately, drivers cutting back isn't going to lower the price of gasoline any time soon,\" he said. Many traders buy commodities such as oil as a hedge against inflation when the dollar is falling, and a weaker dollar makes oil cheaper for investors dealing in other currencies. Analysts believe the dollar's protracted decline has been a major reason why oil prices have nearly doubled in the past year. The euro strengthened further against the greenback Friday. A Labor Department report showing the U.S. unemployment rate jumped half a percentage point to 5.5 percent last month - its biggest monthly increase since 1986 - could drag the dollar even lower in the days ahead. \"Unemployment jumping as it did today will be in the market for a long time and will continue to pressure the U.S. dollar,\" Cordier said. Growing tensions in the Middle East also helped prop up oil prices. Israel sent aircraft, tanks and ground troops into the Gaza Strip on Friday, and a Cabinet minister hoping to replace embattled Prime Minister Ehud Olmert was quoted as saying Israel will attack Iran if it doesn't abandon its nuclear program. In other Nymex trading, heating oil futures rose 23.72 cents to $3.918 a gallon while gasoline prices rose 15.7 cents to $3.4915 a gallon. Natural gas futures rose 25 cents to $12.769 per 1,000 cubic feet. In London, July Brent crude shot up $7.75 to $135.30 a barrel on the ICE Futures exchange."

Today is Wednesday, March 1, 2017. Where was Dominic Ongwen detained?
|
[
"Wednesday, January 21, 2015. L.R.A. Commander Ongwen Heads to Face Charges in Hague\nA notorious Ugandan rebel commander accused of kidnapping children and planning massacres is on his way to face charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court in The Hague, court officials announced Tuesday. Dominic Ongwen, a child soldier turned commander with the Lord's Resistance Army, is in the custody of court officials. He had been a fugitive since being charged in 2005 with three counts of crimes against humanity and four counts of war crimes. He was detained by American forces in the Central African Republic early this month and handed over to a court delegation, with the aid of United Nations peacekeepers posted in that country. His capture is a rare shot in the arm for a tribunal that has been unable to gain custody of several high-profile suspects, including Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army. In a statement, the court took pains to thank Uganda and the United States for their \"instrumental\" roles in the operation. Uganda, which bore the brunt of L.R.A. violence for years and referred the group to the court, has lately been among the court's sharpest critics, with President Yoweri Museveni describing it as \"a vessel for oppressing Africa.\" The United States, meanwhile, is not part of the court, and has been sharply critical of the Palestinians for joining the court last month. Mr. Ongwen is due to reach The Hague by early Wednesday."

"Dominic Ongwen, a child soldier turned commander with the Lord's Resistance Army, is in the custody of court officials.",
"He had been a fugitive since being charged in 2005 with three counts of crimes against humanity and four counts of war crimes.",
"He was detained by American forces in the Central African Republic early this month and handed over to a court delegation, with the aid of United Nations peacekeepers posted in that country.",
"His capture is a rare shot in the arm for a tribunal that has been unable to gain custody of several high-profile suspects, including Joseph Kony, the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army.",
"In a statement, the court took pains to thank Uganda and the United States for their \"instrumental\" roles in the operation.",
"Uganda, which bore the brunt of L.R.A.",
"violence for years and referred the group to the court, has lately been among the court's sharpest critics, with President Yoweri Museveni describing it as \"a vessel for oppressing Africa.\"",

why bovine serum albumin used?
|
[
"Bovine Serum Albumin. ... BSA is used because of its stability to increase signal in assays, its lack of effect in many biochemical reactions, and its low cost, since large quantities of it can be readily purified from bovine blood, a byproduct of the cattle industry. Human serum albumin accounts for some 60% of the intravascular protein pool in healthy individuals, thereby being responsible for approximately 60% of plasma colloid oncotic pressure. Albumin is also responsible for water retention as the negative charges surrounding the protein molecules attract sodium ions. The most widely used method of measuring serum protein is the biuret reaction. The principle of this reaction is that serum proteins react with copper sulfate in sodium hydroxide to form a violet \"biuret\" complex. The intensity of the violet color is proportional to the concentration of protein. “Serums generally contain a few key active ingredients to address specific issues like brightening, dark spots, or fine lines, and the active ingredients are usually found at higher concentrations in serums than in moisturizing creams,” adds Dr. King. They also tend to be a bit thicker in consistency than an essence. Whey and casein, the proteins in milk, stimulate growth and hormones in calves — and in us when we drink their milk. When we digest these proteins, they release a hormone similar to insulin, called IGF-1. This hormone is known to trigger breakouts. Albumin comprises three homologous domains that assemble to form a heart-shaped protein. Each domain is a product of two subdomains that possess common structural motifs."

Where was the research published by Canadian and Peruvian researchers on the true potential of Peruvian anchovy in May 2015?
|
[
"Wednesday, November 13, 2013. Study shows Peruvian fish worth more as food than feed\nNov. 13, 2013 - The true potential of Peruvian anchovy lies not in fishmeal but as food for people and as part of the ocean food web, according to Canadian and Peruvian researchers. The Peruvian anchovy is the world's biggest fishery resource, with annual landings of five to 10-million metric tons. It generates up to one-third of the world's fishmeal supply. But a new study reveals the bulk of the revenue and employment comes from producing the seafood for human consumption. \"Anchovy accounts for upwards of 80 per cent of Peruvian landings by weight, but it's only responsible for 31 per cent of the sector's revenue,\" says Villy Christensen, a professor in the University of British Columbia Fisheries Centre. It hasn't lived up to its true economic value because almost all of it is ground up for low-value fish oil or fishmeal. Christensen and colleagues at the Centre for Environmental Sustainability (CSA) at Cayetano Heredia University in Peru calculated the economic impact of anchovy and other Peruvian fisheries. They found that artisanal fishers, wholesalers, markets and restaurants generated US$2.4 billion per year, or 69 per cent of total revenue. Meanwhile, the fishmeal industry generated only $1.1 billion, or 31 per cent of revenue. Similarly, of all the jobs supported by fishing in Peru, more than 80 per cent were part of the seafood industry. Details are published in the current issue of the journal Marine Policy. \"Current Peruvian regulations only allow anchovy caught by artisanal or small boats to be used for human consumption, forcing the majority of the landings to be exported as fishmeal,\" says Patricia Majluf, CSA Director and the project's Peruvian lead. \"There are far more economic and food security benefits to Peru to channel fisheries for human consumption,\" adds Majluf, who launched a campaign in 2006 to encourage Peruvian chefs to incorporate anchovy on their menus. We need to reform our laws to allow anchovy fishery to reach its full economic potential."

"Saturday, February 10, 2018. Miley Cyrus grabs lunch with fiancé Liam Hemsworth\nTheir relationship has continued to go from strength to strength after rekindling their on-again romance in 2016. And Miley Cyrus, 25, and Liam Hemsworth, 28, looked in high spirits as they grabbed lunch at SunLife Organics in Malibu, California, on Friday. The movie to real-life couple appeared to be meeting with friends as they were joined by three older men. Miley kept her look casual by sporting a black vintage band T-shirt that had 'AC/DC' emblazoned on the front. The former Disney Channel celeb wore her highlighted blonde hair in a messy bun while hiding her makeup free face behind black sunglasses. Miley kept her black designer handbag slung over her chest as she held tight to her charcoal colored sweatshirt. Her hunky counterpart Liam followed his fiance's casual footsteps by stepping out in khaki shorts and a black long-sleeve shirt. The happy couple were spotted laughing as they enjoyed their healthy organic beverages with their company. Miley and Liam became engaged in 2012 but split the following year only to reunite in late 2016. Liam's brother Chris spoke out after reports stated his brother and Miley 'secretly tied the knot' in the New South Wales coastal town earlier this year. When asked about the rumors during an interview with Sirius XM radio in New York, he said 'no' but proceeded to giggle awkwardly. 'They're not officially married,' he insisted, creating further intrigue with his very specific choice of words."

Today is Thursday, June 19, 2014. When will Robert Iger leave his position as chairman of the Walt Disney Company?
|
[
"Friday, March 2, 2012. Proxy advisor criticizes Disney's decision to name Iger chairman\nAn influential proxy advisor criticized the Walt Disney Co.'s board of directors for naming Chief Executive Robert A. Iger as the company's next chairman, a decision that it claims \"reversed a commitment to independent board leadership.\" Disney disputed Institutional Shareholder Services' contention in a regulatory filing Thursday, calling it \"false - no such commitment was made.\" The matter of an independent board chairman dates from a contentious period of the company's history, in early 2004, when 45% of Disney's shareholders heeded the late Roy E. Disney's call to cast a vote of no confidence in then-Chairman and Chief Executive Michael D. Eisner. After the shareholder vote, the Disney board announced it would separate the positions of chairman and chief executive, and named an independent director, former Sen. George Mitchell, to serve as board chairman. At the time, the Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust filed a proposal to permanently separate the roles, according to ISS. Disney changed its corporate governance guidelines to specify that the board chairman would be an independent director - unless recombining the posts would serve \"the best interests of shareholders.\" In that case, the board would explain its decision in a statement to shareholders and name a lead independent director. The issue was reignited last fall, when Disney's board announced that Iger would assume the role of chairman upon the retirement later this month of the current chairman, John Pepper. Iger would then serve in a combined chairman and CEO role until he retired as chief executive in March 2015. He would remain chairman through June 30, 2016. Disney's board said the decision was part of its succession plan to provide a smooth transition for the next chief executive. \"The board concluded that succession planning would be best served ... by naming a successor CEO during Mr. Iger's extended tenure in order to enable a healthy mentoring process during the remainder of his term as chairman,\" Disney wrote Thursday in a letter sent to shareholders explaining the decision. The company said the board had decided to appoint a lead independent director to address governance concerns, and argued that there was nothing out of the ordinary in combining the functions - noting that 68% of the top 100 S&P companies in the S&P 500 have combined chairman and chief executive positions. ISS faulted Disney for failing to adequately reach out to shareholders before the announcement Oct. 6, 2011 - which came one week after the Sept.\n30 deadline that would have allowed shareholders to include in the proxy statement any proposal to separate the chairman and CEO positions in time for the company's March 13, 2012, meeting in Kansas City, Mo. \"The board's reversal of its prior commitment to an independent chair, without suitable transparency and input from shareholders, constitutes a material failure of governance,\" the ISS wrote in its Feb. 29 recommendations. ISS recommended shareholders vote against four board members who serve on the Nominating and Governance Committee - including Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl K. Sandberg. ISS also took issue with Iger's compensation, which has risen to $31.4 million - up from $17.25 million when he became chief executive in October 2005. An investment of $100 made in the company five years ago would be worth only $105 at the end of fiscal 2011, it notes. \"This level of return contrasts sharply with the CEO's increasing compensation,\" the advisory service wrote. Disney uses a different set of numbers to characterize the company's performance under Iger, which yielded returns four times greater to shareholders than that of the Standard & Poor's 500. It notes that the same $100 invested at the start of Iger's tenure as CEO would be worth $171 as of Dec. 30.

"Proxy advisor criticizes Disney's decision to name Iger chairman\nAn influential proxy advisor criticized the Walt Disney Co.'s board of directors for naming Chief Executive Robert A. Iger as the company's next chairman, a decision that it claims \"reversed a commitment to independent board leadership.\"",
"Disney disputed Institutional Shareholder Services' contention in a regulatory filing Thursday, calling it \"false - no such commitment was made.\"",
"The matter of an independent board chairman dates from a contentious period of the company's history, in early 2004, when 45% of Disney's shareholders heeded the late Roy E. Disney's call to cast a vote of no confidence in then-Chairman and Chief Executive Michael D. Eisner.",
"After the shareholder vote, the Disney board announced it would separate the positions of chairman and chief executive, and named an independent director, former Sen. George Mitchell, to serve as board chairman.",
"At the time, the Connecticut Retirement Plans and Trust filed a proposal to permanently separate the roles, according to ISS.",
"Disney changed its corporate governance guidelines to specify that the board chairman would be an independent director - unless recombining the posts would serve \"the best interests of shareholders.\"",
"In that case, the board would explain its decision in a statement to shareholders and name a lead independent director.",

Today is Tuesday, February 14, 2017. When did the Chinese Defense Ministry reject the U.S. accusations?
|
[
"Sunday, August 24, 2014. China Defends Intercepting US Navy Plane\nChina's Defense Ministry rejected U.S. accusations that a Chinese fighter jet conducted a \"dangerous intercept\" of a U.S. Navy surveillance aircraft off the southern Chinese coast. Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun called the U.S. accusations \"groundless\" in a statement issued Saturday night. He said the Chinese pilot conducted operations that were \"professional and the Chinese jet kept a safe distance from the U.S. planes.\" Yang called the Chinese flights \"routine identification and verification.\" Pentagon press secretary Rear Adm. John Kirby gave a different account Friday of the Aug. 19 encounter about 135 miles (220 kilometers) east of China's Hainan Island. He said the Chinese jet made several close passes by the Navy P-8 Poseidon plane, coming within 30 feet (9 meters) of it at one point. Kirby said that included the Chinese jet doing a \"barrel roll\" maneuver over the top of the Poseidon - a modified Boeing 737 - and passing across the nose of the Navy plane apparently to show that it was armed. Kirby said the Chinese jet's maneuvering posed a risk to the safety of the U.S. air crew and was \"inconsistent with customary international law.\" He said it was the fourth such incident since March of \"close intercepts\" involving Chinese jets. The Chinese statement also said that a Navy P-3 Orion, an anti-submarine and surveillance aircraft, flew alongside the Poseidon. The Pentagon did not mention the second aircraft. Tensions between the two countries have risen in the South China Sea, as China disputes territorial claims with U.S. ally the Philippines, Vietnam and other neighbors. In 2001, a Chinese jet collided with a U.S. Navy surveillance aircraft off Hainan Island, killing the Chinese pilot and forcing the Navy plane to make an emergency landing on the island. Washington severed military relations with China after that episode. In the latest encounter, Yang blamed \"the large-scale and highly frequent close-in reconnaissance by the U.S. against China\" as \"the root cause of accidents endangering the sea and air military security between China and the United States.\""

Today is Tuesday, January 9, 2018. Why did John Skipper resign as president of ESPN?
|
[
"Tuesday, December 19, 2017. John Skipper resigns as ESPN president, cites substance abuse issue\nJohn Skipper resigned as president of ESPN on Monday, issuing a public statement saying he needed to overcome a substance abuse problem. Skipper, who took over as president of the sports network in 2012, said in the statement he has battled substance abuse issues for \"many years\" and decided \"the most important thing I can do right now is to take care of my problem.\" \"I come to this public disclosure with embarrassment, trepidation and a feeling of having let others I care about down,\" he said in a statement. As I deal with this issue and what it means to me and my family, I ask for appropriate privacy and a little understanding. Skipper, 61, did not share any details of the nature of his substance abuse problem. ESPN president John Skipper gestures as he talks about the new ACC/ESPN Network during a news conference at the Atlantic Coast Conference Football Kickoff on July 21, 2016 in Charlotte, N.C. Chuck Burton / AP file\nThe announcement came as a shock to many at ESPN, where Skipper had recently signed a contract extension to 2021 and had been trying to plot a future for the company amid a rapidly decreasing number of cable subscribers and a declining interest in professional sports. Just last week, Skipper publicly promoted an upcoming direct-to-consumer service, known as ESPN+, that will aggregate documentaries, sports talk shows, and live events for streaming subscribers. Last week, the Boston Globe published a report describing a hostile work environment for women at ESPN. Bob Iger, chairman and CEO of the Walt Disney Company, the parent company of ESPN, said he would join Skipper's \"many friends and colleagues across the company in wishing him well during this challenging time.\" \"I respect his candor and support his decision to focus on his health and his family,\" Iger said. Iger appointed ESPN veteran George Bodenheimer to serve as acting chairman as he works to identify Skipper's successor. Bodenheimer was president of ESPN from 1998 to 2011 and its executive chairman until May 2014. After the announcement, several ESPN personalities praised Skipper on social media. ESPN SportsCenter co-host Jemele Hill described Skipper as \"one of the finest people I've ever worked for.\" SportsCenter's Stan Verrett tweeted about Skipper's compassion and wished him well."

Today is Wednesday, May 23, 2012. What is the name of China's longest river?
|
[
"Friday, June 12, 2009. China environmental watchdog halts dam projects\nChina's environmental watchdog has halted the construction of two dams on the Yangtze river, putting in jeopardy a 29 billion dollar plan to harness the waterway, state press said. The Ministry of Environmental Protection shelved the plan after discovering that construction of the two dams in southwest China's Yunnan province had started without the mandated environmental approval, the China Daily said. The Ludila and the Longkaikou dams, both of which were already under construction, were being built by China's two biggest power companies, China Huadian Corporation and China Huaneng Group. The Yangtze is China's longest river. \"Building dams without proper designs and environmental protection measures would damage the water ecology, both upriver and downriver, and negatively impact local communities,\" the report quoted a ministry official as saying. The two dams are part of a 200 billion yuan (29 billion dollar) plan that calls for eight cascading hydropower stations to be built on a 560 kilometre (350 mile) section of the river, it said. The dams were slated to produce 20 gigawatts of electricity, equal to the output of the Three Gorges Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric project, the paper said. The environmental assessment reports of two of the other dams have already been approved, it added. China is in the process of building at least 20 new hydroelectric projects or reservoirs on the Yangtze by 2020, the government said earlier this year, as the nation seeks to diversify its energy mix away from polluting coal, its main source of power. But environmentalists and rights groups have warned of ecological damage and the forced relocation of residents."

Today is Tuesday, December 31, 2013. When will Tumblr founder David Karp leave the company?
|
[
"Friday, August 9, 2013. Tumblr Founder Nets 'Golden Handcuff'\nIt has emerged that the recently completed acquisition of Tumblr by Yahoo! includes a $110m (£70.8m) payment to the internet blogging service's founder. The retention payment - dependent on David Karp remaining at Tumblr for the next four years - was disclosed in a regulatory filing and part of the windfall that he and Tumblr investors realised by agreeing to sell the service for $1.1bn (£700m) in May. At the time of the sale, Yahoo! boss Marissa Mayer pledged not to make any dramatic changes at Tumblr in the hope it would not alienate the blogging service's existing users, which include a substantial number of teenagers and young adults. As part of her promise \"to not screw it up,\" Ms Mayer is allowing Mr Karp, 27, to run Tumblr independently in New York. Mr Karp is believed to own a stake of up to 25% in Tumblr, which means he probably has already received a windfall though no such payment from the sale has been disclosed. Under the terms of his retention payment he must stay at Tumblr until June 2017. It will consist of $70m in stock and options and $40m in cash, according to Yahoo! 's filing. The documents also disclosed that Yahoo! paid a total of $44m to buy six other companies during the three months ending in June. All told, Yahoo! paid about $1.15bn (£740m) to buy 10 companies, including Tumblr, during the first half of the year. Yahoo has bought several other start-ups since the end of June. The prices for those deals are likely to be disclosed in another regulatory filing."

It is the lead single from his second studio album, The Thrill of It All (2017).[3] Kiss and Say Goodbye \"Kiss and Say Goodbye\" is a song recorded by the American R&B vocal group The Manhattans. It was one of the biggest hits of 1976. My Way \"My Way\" is a song popularized in 1969 by Frank Sinatra. Its lyrics were written by Paul Anka and set to the music of the French song \"Comme d'habitude\" co-composed and co-written (with Jacques Revaux), and performed in 1967 by Claude François. Anka's English lyrics are unrelated to the original French song. The song was a success for a variety of performers including Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Sid Vicious. Sinatra's version of \"My Way\" spent 75 weeks in the UK Top 40, a record which still stands. Bye Bye Bye \"Bye Bye Bye\" is a pop song by American boy band NSYNC. It was released on January 11, 2000 as the first single from their third studio album No Strings Attached.[1] The song was written and produced by Kristian Lundin and Jake Schulze, with additional writing by Andreas Carlsson. Its lyrics describe the end of a romantic relationship; it was reported to also reference the group's separation from their manager Lou Pearlman and their record label RCA Records. Are You Gonna Go My Way Are You Gonna Go My Way is the third studio album by American singer Lenny Kravitz, released on March 9, 1993 by Virgin Records. It was recorded at Waterfront Studios, Hoboken, New Jersey by Henry Hirsch. It became Kravitz's first top 20 album on the United States Billboard 200, and his first number one album in both Australia and the United Kingdom, achieving massive worldwide success that helped to establish his popularity as a performer. Life's Been Good In the song, Walsh satirically reflects on the antics and excess of the era's rock stars, with nods to Keith Moon and others: \"I live in hotels/Tear out the walls\", and \"My Maserati does one-eighty-five/I lost my licence, now I don't drive\". The Maserati that Walsh himself owned at the time was a 1964 5000 GT model, and while fast, could only manage 170mph with tall gearing.[2]"

who sang the james bond theme song live and let die

"Live and Let Die (song) \"Live and Let Die\" is the main theme song of the 1973 James Bond film Live and Let Die, written by Paul and Linda McCartney and performed by Paul McCartney's band Wings. It was one of the group's most successful singles, and the most successful Bond theme to that point, charting at No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart.[2][3] John Barry (composer) John Barry Prendergast, OBE (/ˈbæri/; 3 November 1933 – 30 January 2011)[1][2] was an English composer and conductor of film music. He composed the scores for 11 of the James Bond films between 1963 and 1987, and also arranged and performed the \"James Bond Theme\" to the first film in the series, 1962's Dr. No. He wrote the Grammy- and Academy Award-winning scores to the films Dances with Wolves and Out of Africa, as well as the theme for the British television cult series The Persuaders!, in a career spanning over 50 years. In 1999, he was appointed OBE at Buckingham Palace for services to music. Quantum of Solace (soundtrack) Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse recorded a demo track for the film,[3] but Ronson explained that she was \"not ready to record any music\" at that time.[4] It was announced Jack White of The White Stripes and Alicia Keys would collaborate on \"Another Way to Die\", which is the first duet in Bond music history, on 29 July 2008.[5][6] They had wanted to work together for two years beforehand.[7] The song was recorded in Nashville, Tennessee; White played the drums while Keys performed on the piano.[8] The Memphis Horns also contributed to the track.[7] White's favourite Bond theme is John Barry's instrumental piece for On Her Majesty's Secret Service, and he watched various opening credit sequences from the series for inspiration while mixing the track.[8] Love Will Keep Us Alive \"Love Will Keep Us Alive\" is a song written by Jim Capaldi, Paul Carrack, and Peter Vale. It was first performed by the Eagles in 1994, during their \"Hell Freezes Over\" reunion tour, with lead vocals by bassist Timothy B. Schmit. Live Free or Die Hard Filming for Live Free or Die Hard started in downtown Baltimore, Maryland on September 23, 2006.[22] Eight different sets were built on a large soundstage for filming many scenes throughout the film.[23] When recording the sound for the semi trailer used in one of the film's final scenes, 18 microphones were used to record the engine, tires, and damage to the vehicle.[23] Post-production for the film only took 16 weeks, when it was more common for similar films to use 26 weeks.[23] Live Free or Die The phrase was adopted from a toast written by General John Stark, New Hampshire's most famous soldier of the American Revolutionary War, on July 31, 1809. Poor health forced Stark to decline an invitation to an anniversary reunion of the Battle of Bennington. Instead, he sent his toast by letter:"

what are uzi's chambered for

"If you don't have a RealPlayer Plug-in, Get it here for free! Uzi is a SMG (small machine gun) chambered for either the 9 X 19 (9mm Parabellum) or .45 ACP round. Uzis are widely available for civilian purchase in a semi-auto version. Several different countries have licensed the Uzi design from IMI in Israel. These countries include China (Norinco), Belgium (FN), U.S.A. (Group Industries), Cuba, and France. For other uses, see Uzi (disambiguation). The Uzi (Hebrew: ×¢×××ââ, officially cased as UZI) pronunciation: /ËuËzi/ is a family of Israeli open-bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns. Smaller variants are considered to be machine pistols. UZI Pistols Are Returning To America. IWI US, Inc., announced that two new pistol model UZIs will be making their debut at the 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas this month. IWI US, Inc., announced that two new pistol model UZIs will be making their debut at the 2015 SHOT Show in Las Vegas this month. The UZI PRO Pistol and the UZI PRO Pistol SB are based on the original UZI sub-machinegun which served with the Israeli Defense Forces. The UZI PRO Pistol, chambered in 9mm Luger Parabellum, features an advanced polymer grip to reduce weight and and integrated magazine release button for quick and easy mag changes. A side cocking handle allows for a full-length tactical rail on the top receiver cover. Failure to eject is also known as stovepiping. The first possible cause of failure to eject is weak ammo. The heavy bolt and recoil spring of an UZI require a heavier impulse to operate than a typical 9mm pistol. UMC and Remington green box ammo are notoriously weak and can cause failures to eject. The Uzi Pro is in-use with the Israeli Defense Force which has ordered 8,000 of the new guns to augment existing supply. To-date over 2 million Uzis have been sold to militaries, recreational shooters and everything in between. The standard model is now available, with the braced version to follow. (Photo: IWI-US) In the U.S. the Uzi Pro has been waiting in the works for a couple of years now, with the very first pistols ashore in 2013. IWI-US is happy to announce that the guns are now widely available with prices starting at or under $999. Well, Winchester just changed that game with the introduction of their Miroku-made Low Wall chambered for the .22 Long Rifle, .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, .17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire and .17 Winchester Super Magnum rimfire. The Low Wall has an interesting history."

the difference between turtles and tortoises
|
[
"Turtles and tortoises are closely related. They are both reptiles from the same family (Testudines or Chelonian). The main difference between the two is that turtle is the name given to water-dwellers and tortoise is the name given to land-dwellers. A division of reptiles, called chelonians, includes turtles, tortoises, and terrapins. For the most part, the difference between a turtle and tortoise is more of a rough seman ⦠tic category than a strict taxonomic separation.

Many lizards are considered menacing because of their seemingly expressionless faces combined with their claws and teeth, whereas turtles are thought of as slow-moving, docile creatures.

Today is Thursday, February 21, 2013. When was Ariel Sharon's visit to a holy site in Jerusalem?
|
[
"Monday, January 28, 2013. 'Significant brain activity' in comatose Ariel Sharon\nIsraeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon opens a Cabinet meeting in 2005 at his office in Jerusalem. Doctors showed Ariel Sharon pictures of his family and used other stimuli\nSharon's brain showed activity, but doctors caution against optimism\nDoctors still trying to figure out what results mean\nSharon was a divisive figure in Israeli politics during his time as prime minister\n(CNN) -- Comatose for seven years, Israel's iconic former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is showing \"significant brain activity.\" The 84-year-old suffered a devastating stroke January 4, 2006, and a brain hemorrhage. He was presumed to be in a vegetative state. But on Monday, a team of surprised neuroscientists and doctors said Sharon's brain appeared to respond when they showed him pictures of his family and had him listen to his son's voice. Doctors also used tactile stimuli to measure Sharon's reaction. Does this mean the man Israelis once dubbed the \"Lion of God\" could wake? Doctors urge caution. From the archives: Sculpture of Ariel Sharon in coma to go on show in Israel\nSharon was considered one of Israel's finest military commanders of all time and was involved with nearly every major conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors. From the '70s to the '90s, he encouraged the building of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. He was a top leader in the Likud Party for 15 years and prime minister from 2001 to 2006. \"The two great tragedies in modern Middle Eastern politics, which make you wonder if God wants Middle East peace or not, were (Yitzhak) Rabin's assassination and (Ariel) Sharon's stroke,\" President Bill Clinton remarked in 2011. It's difficult to imagine telling Sharon about the events of the past seven years. Shortly after he became comatose, Hamas won elections and took over Gaza. A revolutionary movement known as the Arab Spring took root in Tunisia in 2010 and spread to Egypt in 2011, toppling decades-old regimes and furthering democratic ideals in the Middle East and North Africa. How would Sharon react if he knew that a war in Syria, which is supported in part by Israel's enemy Iran, has been raging for nearly two years? Doctors say there's no need to start writing up the Hollywood plot line. Sharon's brain activity was \"encouraging\" but \"subtle,\" according to a release from Israel's Soroka University Medical Center, which conducted the tests last week. They were administered by a team of U.S. and Israeli scientists. \"It doesn't mean there is a very high process of interpretation\" in Sharon's brain, said Ilan Shelef, head of medical imaging at the medical center. Doctors are still trying to understand precisely what the results indicate. \"We are not sure about it,\" Shelef said. What we know for sure (is that) there was a significant metabolic response to these stimuli. When two conscious people are speaking to each other, he explained, their brains are naturally reacting. It's unclear why someone in a vegetative state would respond similarly, he said. He cautions against being overly optimistic. \"We know that he is in a very bad situation for many years,\" Shelef said. It is \"a comfort,\" he said, to Sharon's family that it seems they've reached him, but they should keep in mind that it's unclear what that means right now. The news about Sharon has reminded the world of his legacy and that it still looms large in Israel. As minister of defense in 1982, he orchestrated Israel's invasion of Lebanon, a military operation that killed hundreds of Lebanese civilians as Israeli forces sought to wipe out Palestine Liberation Organization fighters in the region. His visit in September 2000 to a holy site in Jerusalem -- known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount -- set off clashes between Palestinians and Israelis that developed into the Second Intifada, or uprising. Several months later, voters elected him as prime minister by the largest margin of victory in Israeli history. In 2003, he held talks with Palestinian officials about the U.S.-led \"road map to peace\" that called for the eventual creation of a Palestinian state. He broke from the right-wing party Likud in November 2005 to form a centrist political party, Kadima, which means \"forward\" in Hebrew."

"'Significant brain activity' in comatose Ariel Sharon\nIsraeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon opens a Cabinet meeting in 2005 at his office in Jerusalem.",
"Doctors showed Ariel Sharon pictures of his family and used other stimuli\nSharon's brain showed activity, but doctors caution against optimism\nDoctors still trying to figure out what results mean\nSharon was a divisive figure in Israeli politics during his time as prime minister\n(CNN) -- Comatose for seven years, Israel's iconic former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon is showing \"significant brain activity.\"",
"The 84-year-old suffered a devastating stroke January 4, 2006, and a brain hemorrhage.",
"He was presumed to be in a vegetative state.",
"But on Monday, a team of surprised neuroscientists and doctors said Sharon's brain appeared to respond when they showed him pictures of his family and had him listen to his son's voice.",
"Doctors also used tactile stimuli to measure Sharon's reaction.",
"Does this mean the man Israelis once dubbed the \"Lion of God\" could wake?",
"Doctors urge caution.",
"From the archives: Sculpture of Ariel Sharon in coma to go on show in Israel\nSharon was considered one of Israel's finest military commanders of all time and was involved with nearly every major conflict between Israel and its Arab neighbors.",
"From the '70s to the '90s, he encouraged the building of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.",
"He was a top leader in the Likud Party for 15 years and prime minister from 2001 to 2006.",
"\"The two great tragedies in modern Middle Eastern politics, which make you wonder if God wants Middle East peace or not, were (Yitzhak) Rabin's assassination and (Ariel) Sharon's stroke,\" President Bill Clinton remarked in 2011.",
"It's difficult to imagine telling Sharon about the events of the past seven years.",
"Shortly after he became comatose, Hamas won elections and took over Gaza.",
"A revolutionary movement known as the Arab Spring took root in Tunisia in 2010 and spread to Egypt in 2011, toppling decades-old regimes and furthering democratic ideals in the Middle East and North Africa.",
"How would Sharon react if he knew that a war in Syria, which is supported in part by Israel's enemy Iran, has been raging for nearly two years?",
"Doctors say there's no need to start writing up the Hollywood plot line.",
"Sharon's brain activity was \"encouraging\" but \"subtle,\" according to a release from Israel's Soroka University Medical Center, which conducted the tests last week.",
"They were administered by a team of U.S. and Israeli scientists.",
"\"It doesn't mean there is a very high process of interpretation\" in Sharon's brain, said Ilan Shelef, head of medical imaging at the medical center.",
"Doctors are still trying to understand precisely what the results indicate.",
"\"We are not sure about it,\" Shelef said.",
"What we know for sure (is that) there was a significant metabolic response to these stimuli.",
"When two conscious people are speaking to each other, he explained, their brains are naturally reacting.",
"It's unclear why someone in a vegetative state would respond similarly, he said.",
"He cautions against being overly optimistic.",
"\"We know that he is in a very bad situation for many years,\" Shelef said.",
"It is \"a comfort,\" he said, to Sharon's family that it seems they've reached him, but they should keep in mind that it's unclear what that means right now.",
"The news about Sharon has reminded the world of his legacy and that it still looms large in Israel.",
"As minister of defense in 1982, he orchestrated Israel's invasion of Lebanon, a military operation that killed hundreds of Lebanese civilians as Israeli forces sought to wipe out Palestine Liberation Organization fighters in the region.",
"His visit in September 2000 to a holy site in Jerusalem -- known to Muslims as the Noble Sanctuary and to Jews as the Temple Mount -- set off clashes between Palestinians and Israelis that developed into the Second Intifada, or uprising.",
"Several months later, voters elected him as prime minister by the largest margin of victory in Israeli history.",
"In 2003, he held talks with Palestinian officials about the U.S.-led \"road map to peace\" that called for the eventual creation of a Palestinian state.",
"He broke from the right-wing party Likud in November 2005 to form a centrist political party, Kadima, which means \"forward\" in Hebrew."

"Palm Beach International Airport Palm Beach International Airport (IATA: PBI, ICAO: KPBI, FAA LID: PBI) is a public airport three miles west of Palm Beach, Florida, in West Palm Beach. It serves the Miami metropolitan area. The airport is operated by Palm Beach County's Department of Airports. Road access to the airport is direct from I-95, Southern Boulevard, and Congress Avenue. The airport is bordered on the west by Military Trail. West Palm Beach, Florida The area that was to become West Palm Beach was settled in the late 1870s and 1880s by a few hundred settlers who called the vicinity \"Lake Worth Country.\" These settlers were a diverse community from different parts of the United States and the world. They included founding families such at the Potters and the Lainharts, who would go on to become leading members of the business community in the fledgling city. The first white settlers in Palm Beach County lived around Lake Worth, then an enclosed freshwater lake, named for Colonel William Jenkins Worth, who had fought in the Second Seminole War in Florida in 1842. Most settlers engaged in the growing of tropical fruits and vegetables for shipment the north via Lake Worth and the Indian River. By 1890, the U.S. Census counted over 200 people settled along Lake Worth in the vicinity of what would become West Palm Beach. The area at this time also boasted a hotel, the \"Cocoanut House\", a church, and a post office. The city was platted by Henry Flagler as a community to house the servants working in the two grand hotels on the neighboring island of Palm Beach, across Lake Worth in 1893, coinciding with the arrival of the Florida East Coast railroad. Flagler paid two area settlers, Captain Porter and Louie Hillhouse, a combined sum of $45,000 for the original town site, stretching from Clear Lake to Lake Worth. Maho Beach Maho Beach is a beach on the Dutch side of the Caribbean island of Saint Martin, in the territory of Sint Maarten. It is famous for being adjacent to the Princess Juliana International Airport, and is a popular site for tourists and planewatchers, who visit the beach to watch aircraft on final approach landing at the airport, passing only a short distance above their heads. Hong Kong International Airport Hong Kong International Airport (IATA: HKG, ICAO: VHHH) is the main airport in Hong Kong. It is located on the island of Chek Lap Kok, which largely comprises land reclaimed for the construction of the airport itself.

Today is Sunday, May 30, 2010. What tax is Reynolds American Inc preparing for?
|
[
"Monday, November 17, 2008. Reynolds focuses on new products as market changes\nCHICAGO (Reuters) - Reynolds American Inc (RAI.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) hopes newer products like dissolvable tobacco strips and tobacco pouches called snus will boost future profits in a U.S. market where cigarette smoking has been declining for years. The maker of Camel cigarettes and Grizzly smokeless tobacco emphasized new product development in a meeting with analysts on Monday. The company is preparing for a likely increase in the federal excise tax on cigarettes in 2009 and coping with a slumping U.S. economy that has already pushed some consumers to move down to lower-priced tobacco products. Reynolds shares rose about 4 percent on Monday on the New York Stock Exchange. \"The migration from combustible products to smokeless products is already underway and we see it accelerating,\" Chief Executive Susan Ivey said, referring to the move from cigarettes. U.S. cigarette consumption has decreased steadily since 1981 as smoking has been banned in more public areas and messages about its health hazards have become more prevalent. Cigarette makers have also been hit by marketing limits as part of a 1998 tobacco litigation settlement with the states. Reynolds, like rival Altria Group Inc (MO.N: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) and other tobacco companies, has been testing new forms of smokeless tobacco products to attract new consumers. The company plans to launch Camel snus nationwide in 2009 and to begin test-marketing dissolvable tobacco sticks, strips and lozenges in three cities at about the same time. One potential target for dissolvable tobacco could be women, who have traditionally been resistant to using other forms of smokeless tobacco. But even as it looks to develop products that could help future profits, Reynolds is also looking at a tough U.S. economy in the present. \"We still see total tobacco as relatively resistant to this recession,\" Ivey said. But she also noted some consumers have been trading down to less expensive products. With the election of Barack Obama to be the next U.S. president and even stronger Democratic majorities in Congress, Ivey said an increase in the federal excise tax is likely, though she was not sure by how much, or when. With more states facing budget shortfalls, tax increases on tobacco by the states could also be on the horizon. But Ivey noted that some states that have increased cigarette taxes have lost revenue as consumers have moved to the Internet or neighboring states to buy their smokes,\nReynolds shares were up $1.64, or 3.8 percent, at $44.63 on Monday afternoon on the New York Stock Exchange.

Today is Friday, April 14, 2017. Who is the head coach of Rangers?
|
[
"Wednesday, April 12, 2017. Jonatan Johansson hails \"inspirational\" Pedro Caixinha\nNew Rangers coach Jonatan Johansson's first day working under Pedro Caixinha has left him further impressed by the Portuguese boss. The former Light Blues attacker was confirmed at the weekend as number three to Caixinha and started work with the squad following the 3-0 Ladbrokes Premiership win over Aberdeen at Pittodrie on Sunday. The 41-year-old Finn told RangersTV: \"I was very impressed. I think the plan he laid out in the interview and how he wants to work was very professional and very inspirational for a young coach. His team is top class. Today was the first training session for me and the way everything is organised on the pitch and before the session is very impressive so it will be a fantastic place to develop myself as well and hopefully I can bring a lot to the team. There's a great group of coaches and we'll all get our specific tasks that we do in training and out of training in terms of analysing and scouting. There are very particular tasks and the manager is very open in the way that he works with the group and we know what is expected from us as coaches in the same way as the players do. The former Charlton and Malmo player, who left his post as coach with the Finland national team to return to Ibrox, insists he has enough local knowledge to bring something extra to Caixinha's staff. He added: \"I've lived here for a long time, my wife and son are Scottish and I've worked with Motherwell for three years and you get a good view of youth football in the country. Those players have now progressed into first teams so I have a good knowledge of them and I've been watching a lot of Rangers games and a lot of other Scottish games and I think that's something that I can bring to the group. We're in an important part of the season so it's important that we work long hours and get everything right straight away because everything needs to be right every day for the team to be able to perform to a level on the weekend. I'm trying to get as much information on board as possible and trying to get as comfortable as possible as quickly as I can."

What act was violated by both Lee and Severn Vale in April 2010?
|
[
"Friday, September 18, 2009. Plumber and employer admit boiler death blame\nA plumber from Cheltenham and the housing association that hired him have admitted health and safety breaches following a boiler explosion that killed a woman and her dog. Christine Goodall, 65, died in November 2007 when the iron boiler behind her fireplace, which had not been properly decommissioned, blew apart. Mrs Goodall, who lived in Twyning, Tewkesbury, was killed instantly along with her dog when residual wa\nter in the boiler heated up when she lit a fire, causing it to explode. Plumber Matthew Lee, 41, and Severn Vale Housing Society, which employed him to do the work, both pleaded guilty to an offence under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. The society was culpable because it had failed to ensure Mrs Goodall's safety at her home in Nut Orchard End, Gloucester magistrates were told. The justices committed the case to the city's crown court for sentence, deeming their fining powers insufficient. Lee, who lives in Mendip Close, and Severn Vale, based in Ashchurch, Tewkesbury, will be sentenced on October 8 by a judge. The mother of three's boiler was decommissioned by Lee in 1999 on the instructions of Severn Vale. At the inquest into Mrs Goodall's death last year, the coroner was told that Severn Vale had visited around 1,700 homes since the explosion to ensure residents were safe. After Mrs Goodall's death, the Health and Safety Executive warned private homeowners, housing associations and landlords to decommission back boilers."
