A’s reliever Fernando Rodriguez has a rotator-cuff strain
MINNEAPOLIS - A’s reliever Fernando Rodriguez, placed on the DL on Monday, has a rotator cuff strain and will be shut down from throwing while he recovers.
An MRI done Tuesday evening showed the strain, which is in the back of Rodriguez’s right shoulder. Rodriguez was the second A’s reliever in less than a week to go on the DL with a shoulder strain, after left-hander Sean Doolittle.
No timetable was given for either reliever’s return and shoulder strains can be difficult to predict, but typically such an injury requires at least a month of recovery time and often much more.

Game of Thrones Iron Throne Made Out of from Carrots
The ultimate Game of Thrones fan and animal lover has built a replica of the series’ Iron Throne entirely out of shredded carrots for his Brooklyn, N.Y.-based rabbit named Wallace — also known as “Wallace the Mad King” on YouTube.
Did the rabbit eat all of the veggies? In a Reddit thread, the owner admits “I ate most of it.”
In the user’s last viral stunt, he taught the rabbit how to fetch him a beer.
Season 5 of the hit HBO show premieres April 12.
Summary: "The carrot throne is mine by rights"
IN: A Sad Fact From Today's Bag of Hate Mail
Can we talk about climate change like civilized adults? Yesterday, I wrote a column asking that question. The response from the internet suggests: "no."
I pointed out that climate activists have a lamentable tendency to slap the "denier" label on everyone who does not consider global warming to be catastrophic and urgent, even if they are completely on board with the basic argument that human CO2 emissions will warm the planet by some amount. This is a purely political attempt to delegitimize dissenters and rally supporters. It is also largely ineffective, and absolutely terrible for the public policy discourse.
I was careful to note, as I wrote, that I am not really myself a "lukewarmist" on climate change; I’m less skeptical of high warming projections than they are, and more importantly, I think that even a relatively small risk of catastrophic warming -- say 1 percent -- is worth ensuring against. It is not the conclusions of the climate activists that I disagree with, so much as their methods of advocating for them. I’d rather see fewer vilifications and more extended debate.
In response, climate scientist Michael Mann tweeted this:
Then he blocked me. You will correctly infer that I was also inundated with other interlocutors on social media and e-mail. Many of them were respectful. Others were … less so. At worst, they suggested, I was a paid shill for fossil fuel interests. (Not so. I accept no pay from anyone other than Bloomberg.) At best, they said, I was a fool who was giving aid and comfort to the enemy. My editor was thusly chided for the column: “shame on you for publishing it, especially if you have children.”
Look, I understand the bunker mentality that has beset many climate-change activists. Climate skeptics have their own set canards about how climate activists are all crypto-communists and authoritarians looking to force their political views on the world. Too many glibly dismiss climate models entirely because of their high degree of uncertainty, rather than grappling with the downside risks that these uncertain models suggest. In particular, Republican politicians, who have considerable policymaking power, have eschewed making the difficult case that whatever warming will occur is not worth taking radical action to prevent, and instead have resorted to throwing snowballs on the Senate floor.
This is understandably frustrating if you think warming is apt to be catastrophic. And the long years of hurling increasingly angry imprecations has radicalized both sides to the point where it’s hard to imagine having anything constructive to say to the folks on the other side.
I also understand that the climate-change folks get tired of being asked to lay out, yet again, why they believe what they believe. Just yesterday, in fact, I was asked, in re my opposition to Obamacare, if I just didn’t care whether people went bankrupt and died. Since I dove into health-care writing around 2007, I have been asked that question -- well, it can’t really be a hundred million times, can it? But it sure feels like it. I’ve written the answer to that question many times. I’m tired of answering the same (stupid) question. It's a variation on the recurring "Why are you a terrible person?"
There are stupid people in every policy argument. But I have never encountered a debate where all the stupid people are on one side. And you do not enhance your own side’s reputation for cleverness by dismissing your worst opponents' worst arguments; you win by engaging with your best opponents' best arguments.
The name-calling, divisive "debate" around climate change is not just bad science and bad public policy making, but as I noted yesterday, it’s not even good political tactics. If either side could point to a lot of progress and say “Yes, it’s unsavory, but it works” -- well, I still wouldn’t like it, but I’d have to concede that it was effective.
But throughout decades of increasingly angry delegitimization of the skeptics, decades in which the vilification has actually increased in volume even as most of the skeptics have moved toward the activists on the basic scientific questions, the net result in public policy has been very little.
A scientific approach would be to acknowledge that advocates' initial hypothesis -- that name calling will advance the cause -- has failed to be borne out by the experimental evidence. And to start looking for another hypothesis for how to move forward on climate change.

In South America, the rich soil of the Amazon River basin in Brazil is known as "black gold". Scientists found that the secret of this rich soil was charcoal . Local people made it from animal bones and tree branches. They mixed the charcoal with the soil about 1.500 years ago.
Now, scientists in the United States have done a modern demonstration. They say charcoal fertilization offers a revolutionary way to improve soil quality for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Mingxin Guo and his team at Delavare State University heated tree leaves, corn stalks , small pieces of wood and poultry waste into "biochar" . They reported their findings at a recent meeting of the American Chemical Society in New Orleans.
Biochar could be good news for farmers with poor soil and hungry populations to feed. Professor Guo says it could even help against global warming. Intensive farming and overuse of chemical fertilizer give out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Biochar does the opposite, he says. It traps carbon in the ground.
The researchers planted winter wheat in containers of soil in a greenhouse -- some with biochar, some without. Professor Guo says the wheat grows much better in the pots with biochar. The soil was added two percent charcoal to. But he says even a one percent treatment will increase productivity.
The results demonstrated that biochar can increase organic matter in soil. Loss of nutrients in soil is an increasing problem worldwide as farmers try to grow more food for growing populations.
Next, the team will carry out a five-year study of biochar with spinach , green peppers and tomatoes.
Mingxin Guo says he learns about the "black gold" in Brazil from a magazine story. He explains that it was discovered in the jungle, in the area where waters flow to the Amazon, in the 1960's. But it was not until recent years that scientists began to bring public attention to it.

Summarize this article:
However, sport minister Ahmed Khanou has not mentioned the stance his ministry will take should the SLFA fail to adhere to its demand.
A congress was supposed to have taken place last month but was postponed indefinitely by Fifa on the grounds of carrying out integrity checks on current and potential SLFA members.
"I instruct you to take your membership to ordinary congress as initially planned without prejudice to the Fifa task force and 'intergrity checks' within five working days starting Tuesday," Khanou stated in a letter to SLFA secretary general Christopher Kamara.
"Ensure that you report the outcome of said congress to my office for the high attention of President Koroma.
"Take all necessary steps to ensure democratic transition through the electoral process of the SLFA. Should you fail to, I'll be left with no option but to take the next necessary or expedient step," Khanou added.
The SLFA responded to the sports ministry's ultimatum through their executive committee member, Francis Konowa.
"We have received the letter from the sport minister and we have met as an executive and we have replied to him," said Konowa.
"Since the SLFA is affiliated to Fifa and the decision to postpone our congress was taken by Fifa we have written to them informing them about the letter we received from our sport minister.
"We are now waiting for the Fifa response and we'll communicate it to the sport minister whenever we receive it.
"But let me make one thing clear, it's just not possible to hold congress within a week because there are procedures to follow," added Konowa.
The ultimatum comes four days after football's world governing body stated it will continue to recognise the existing SLFA administration, led by Isha Johansen (pictured), until elections are held.
This is despite Johansen's four-year mandate having come to an end on 3 August.
Aggrieved members of the SLFA say they no longer recognise Johansen and four others in the executive.

Meg Whitman is back in the spotlight.
Hewlett-Packard Co.'s board is expected Thursday to name the former eBay chief its next CEO, replacing Leo Apotheker, according to a person briefed on the matter.
H-P's board is expected to oust CEO Leo Apotheker and replace him with former eBay CEO Meg Whitman today. Colin Barr and Marcelo Prince discuss whether a new strategy and a new CEO can save H-P. (Photo: AP.)
Ms. Whitman—a Silicon Valley veteran who turned eBay Inc. from a quirky start-up into an online auction giant—remains an influential figure in the technology scene as an H-P director and an adviser to a leading venture-capital firm.
But the former eBay CEO also has little background in the hardware industry, never ran a company of H-P's size, made some missteps at eBay, and most recently drew attention for a failed bid to become governor of California.
In an interview Monday, Ms. Whitman, 55, described H-P as "a Silicon Valley icon that is in the process of reshaping itself." She acknowledged that the Palo Alto, Calif., company "has certainly had challenges" and that "time will tell" how it fares. But she added, "I'm optimistic about H-P's future."
Enlarge Image Close Bloomberg News H-P board member and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, shown in August, is a candidate for H-P interim CEO.
Asked about Mr. Apotheker's recent decision to potentially spin off the company's personal-computer business, Ms. Whitman said, "There are tremendous strategic changes that are taking place in the PC business, and H-P wants to capitalize on those changes and make sure this operating division has the autonomy and the ability to respond to rapidly changing technology."
On Wednesday, a spokesman for Ms. Whitman referred a request for additional comment to H-P. H-P then declined to comment.
The re-emergence of Ms. Whitman—who has kept a relatively low profile since losing her gubernatorial bid to Democrat Jerry Brown last year—is likely to renew investors' focus on her track record at eBay.
Ms. Whitman joined eBay in 1998 after stints at Hasbro Inc., Florists Transworld Delivery and Stride Rite Corp. By the time she left the Internet company in March 2008, eBay's annual revenue was $7.7 billion, up from $86 million when she joined.
But concerns later mounted as eBay's once-torrid growth slowed amid competition from other e-commerce sites such as Amazon.com Inc. Ms. Whitman was also roundly criticized for eBay's 2005 purchase of Internet-calling firm Skype for $2.5 billion, for which it later took a $1.4 billion write-down. EBay has been viewed as a turnaround situation for the last few years under CEO John Donahoe.
A year after leaving eBay, Ms. Whitman announced she would run as a Republican for governor of California, which had struggled with deep deficits during Arnold Schwarzenegger's tenure. She won the Republican nomination, but despite spending a record amount on her campaign—$178.5 million, most of it out of her own pocket—she ultimately lost to Mr. Brown.
In March, Ms. Whitman became a part-time adviser at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a prominent Silicon Valley venture-capital firm.
In the Monday interview, Ms. Whitman also mused about the challenge for big companies of keeping up with increasingly rapid change.
"The bigger you get, the harder it is to be nimble," she said. "How do you grow big and stay small? That still is the fundamental question."
—Ben Worthen contributed to this article.
Write to Vauhini Vara at [email protected] ||||| Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ), facing investor frustration over sales-forecast cuts and jarring strategy shifts, is considering replacing Chief Executive Officer Leo Apotheker, two people familiar with the matter said.
The board may appoint Hewlett-Packard director and former EBay Inc. (EBAY) CEO Meg Whitman as Apotheker’s successor, possibly on an interim basis, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because the plans aren’t public. The board also is reconsidering a proposal to spin off the company’s personal- computer unit, another person said.
Hewlett-Packard has lowered its sales forecasts three times since Apotheker became CEO in November, and he’s presided over strategy swings that left shareholders doubting his credibility. Before today, the company’s stock has plunged 47 percent on his watch, and “investor exasperation” with management is at its highest in more than a decade, according to Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.
“There’s certainly a lot of investor discontent with them,” said Amit Daryanani, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets in San Francisco, who rates the shares “sector perform” and doesn’t own them. “There’s widespread frustration with the fact that numbers have been cut three times since he’s been there.”
Hewlett-Packard rose $1.51, or 6.7 percent, to $23.98 today on the New York Stock Exchange after Bloomberg reported the possible management change.
Revisiting the Spinoff
Hewlett-Packard’s board, due to meet this week, is open to re-examining the spinoff proposal now because some directors think the idea wasn’t studied as thoroughly as other high- profile spinoffs, such as one by Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT), the person familiar with the matter said. At the same time, the turmoil raises the possibility that some or all of Hewlett-Packard may become a takeover candidate.
Mylene Mangalindan, a spokeswoman for Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard, declined to comment.
The possible spinoff would take as long as 18 months to complete, Hewlett-Packard said at the time. That elicited criticism that it should have had a buyer lined up or a more concrete plan in place before making the announcement.
Whitman, who joined Hewlett-Packard’s board in January after a failed bid to become California’s governor last year, had a mixed record at EBay. CEO for a decade, she took the company public and pioneered e-commerce for small businesses. Yet in the final years of her tenure, she couldn’t halt a slowdown in sales growth and overpaid for Skype Technologies SA after a bidding war with Google Inc. and Yahoo! Inc.
Not Long-Term?
Her lack of experience in computing for large companies may mean she doesn’t stay in the role for long, said Jayson Noland, an analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co. in San Francisco.
“She’s on the board and is a logical interim CEO, but not a logical long-term CEO,” said Noland, who has a “neutral” rating on the stock. “She doesn’t have enterprise experience.”
Pressure on Apotheker intensified on Aug. 18, when he announced a sweeping overhaul that included a $10.3 billion acquisition of Autonomy Corp. and the possible PC spinoff. He also killed off the company’s WebOS tablets and smartphones, just five months after vowing to put the operating system on a full range of the company’s computers.
The shares plunged 20 percent following the announcement, fueled by concerns that Autonomy was too expensive and the plans showed a lack of deliberation. The stock slumped to the point that other breakup and takeover scenarios are possible, Hewlett- Packard investor Michael Mullaney said at the time.
‘Scoop It Up’
“For the right company, it probably would make sense for someone to come in and scoop it up,” Mullaney, who helps manage $9.5 billion at Fiduciary Trust in Boston, said in August. “Someone could come and at least buy pieces of the firm.”
The server unit would boost Oracle Corp.’s share fivefold and help it become the biggest maker of the hardware. Hewlett- Packard’s printer business, which is 70 percent more profitable than the company as a whole, may also attract private-equity firms, Mullaney said.
While the PC spinoff would help Hewlett-Packard focus on higher-margin products, such as services and software, the way it was conveyed didn’t satisfy shareholders, Sacconaghi said. The Autonomy deal, meanwhile, hasn’t been popular, he said.
“Our conversations with investors continue to point to near universal opposition of the Autonomy acquisition, due to its high price,” he wrote in a Sept. 13 report.
Undoing Autonomy
By paying cash for Autonomy, Hewlett-Packard doesn’t need approval from its own shareholders to complete the deal, Sacconaghi said.
The company can’t undo the takeover unless Autonomy investors fail to approve it, according to a person with knowledge of the terms. That outcome is unlikely, given that 42 percent of Autonomy shares had already been tendered in favor of the sale as of Sept. 12, this person said.
Apotheker, the former CEO of German software maker SAP AG (SAP), has aimed to transform Hewlett-Packard into a provider of more profitable software and services for businesses that are doing more computing on remote servers, via the so-called cloud. Yet, results have been plagued by tepid demand for PCs, as consumers in growing numbers snapped up competing mobile devices and tablets, such as Apple Inc.’s iPad.
Short Stint
His tenure at Hewlett-Packard may barely outlast his 10- month stint as CEO of SAP. He resigned in February 2010 after an attempted price increase during the recession that rankled consumers and a clash with German unions on plans to cut jobs. He presided over the company’s first revenue decline since 2003 as customers delayed software purchases.
Apotheker joined Hewlett-Packard after Mark Hurd departed as CEO amid a scandal over a personal relationship with a company contractor. Hurd now is a co-president at Oracle.
Hewlett-Packard isn’t looking to completely change course, said Baird’s Noland. The company’s board and shareholders are mostly looking for a surer hand, he said.
“The board is directionally behind the plan Apotheker’s put in place,” Noland said. “It’s just the execution of that plan that has investors wound up.”

– Meg Whitman may have lost out on her bid to be governor of California, but she might soon be back in a high-profile business post, reports Bloomberg. It quotes anonymous sources who say Hewlett-Packard's board may fire CEO Leo Apotheker and replace him with Whitman on an interim basis. Also in the rumor mill: The board may not spin off the company's PC business after all, with some directors saying the move hasn't been studied thoroughly enough. The Wall Street Journal confirms the Whitman rumor but isn't sure the former eBay exec is interested, even on a temporary basis, because of her lack of expertise in the computer field. At MarketWatch, Therese Poletti thinks Whitman would be a horrible fit. "H-P does not need a former management consultant as its next CEO," she writes. "H-P needs someone with serious technology savvy who can also inspire its workers and lead the company out of its current morass."

A: Alaska was my preferred carrier on the west coast until I decided to make the jump to loyalty program for a much larger network. I always have liked Alaska's level of service, however, and if I'm flying somewhere that's more convenient for Alaska's routes, then it's my top pick. For PDX-LAS - my normal carrier requires a two-leg journey, which is stupid. So Alaska is my go-to. They have multiple non-stop flights per day, and at least some of the planes have been updated with the new power outlets at every seat. And of course gogo in flght wifi. While airline service across the board is a mere shadow of what it used to be, as far as the current standards go, Alaska still wins in my book... unless you put it up against Virgin, which has pretty rad service too. That said, the folks who work these flights are nice and friendly. As much as the seat sizes and baggage nonsense make it feel like cattle call in Economy, the crews on the ground and in the air don't contribute to it at all. And when flying to and from LAS, where it seems the majority of people don't listen or can't understand basic rules/etiquette, they offer a firm display of reminders that I wish all gate agents would. Like turning people away from boarding when they're trying to board ahead of their group. Or not letting people with rollers on in the group that's supposed to be boarding without rollers. My one main gripe with boarding is that they do offer earlier boarding to people who only have bags that will fit under the seat. Guess what? Those people still mostly put those bags in overhead. Frankly if they offered gate-check where I could get my bag at the gate on the other end, I'd be happy to send my roller below. But otherwise it's all out battle for those overheads. Aside from my main issue with their boarding processes, I dig the rest of the way they do things at Alaska. And I'll keep digging it... especially on this route.

A: Somebody spent a small fortune (well...a large fortune, actually) to build the Hawaiian Marketplace. What were they thinking? When it first opened, I thought it was mediocre. However, there were a couple of pretty good restaurants (including a branch of Hamada), everything looked new, and I figured they would eventually populate the empty buildings with all sorts of neat stuff. It was not to be. Hamada closed, and nothing interesting ever opened. There are a number of lackluster booths selling lackluster goods and, as others have mentioned, nothing Hawaiian in sight. The best I can say for it is that they've improved the original walkways so that, instead of being a major impediment to pedestrian traffic, it's only a minor impediment. Sad.

Service is EXTREMELY friendly, with everyone greeting you, asking how you are, if you need anything and just plain being nice. I love that! Plus, the "to go" is represented well with fast and prompt delivery of the goods... the food I mean! I was craving a chicken salad sandwich and surprise, it was on the menu as a raspberry almond chicken salad served on a croissant. Done! The salad part was very tasty, with enough mayo to satisfy my saucy needs, but not too little to make it dry. The croissant was so moist and buttery. It wasn't firm by any means, so the sandwich kinda fell apart. It didn't matter tome though because it was VERY good! I loved the help yourself iced tea as well. They had two different kinds, a sweetened peach and regular unsweetened tea. The peach was incredibly sweet so I mixed the two and it was just perfect. I can't wait to go back and order up more items on their menu and also stop by Bistro Soul that's connected to this one. And try this wonderful $10 brunch buffet I've heard so much about!

Premiership leaders Crusaders edged out Glenavon 1-0 at Moureview Park while Linfield kept the title race alive with a 3-0 win over Coleraine.
+++++++
A: Media playback is not supported on this device
Crues striker Jordan Owens scored the only goal to leave the champions just one win away from retaining the title.
Linfield are eight points back with three games left after Kirk Millar's double and a Jimmy Callacher goal in a comfortable Windsor Park victory.
The other Section A game saw Glentoran defeat Cliftonville 2-0 at Solitude.
Marcus Kane fired into the bottom corner to put the Glens ahead on 51 minutes before Curtis Allen added the second with a tap-in.
Media playback is not supported on this device
Crusaders showed the resilience of champions but they were thankful for poor finishing by Lurgan Blues striker Eoin Bradley.
Bradley twice fired straight at keeper Sean O'Neill in the first half before hesitancy in taking a shot allowed Craig McClean to make a last-ditch challenge.
Crusaders improved after a lacklustre first half and Owens settled the game with a trademark header from Gavin Whyte's cross on 55 minutes.
Owens almost doubled the lead when he hit the post while Kevin Braniff and Declan O'Brien went close as the hosts pressed late on.
Victory over north Belfast rivals Cliftonville Tuesday night will give Stephen Baxter's side back-to-back titles for the first time in the club's history.
Crusaders keeper Sean O'Neill said: "I made a couple of saves but I've a great back four in front of me and I'll take a 1-0 win every week.
"The title is now within touching distance and we are preparing for a momentous battle against Cliftonville on Tuesday.
"We are a small club and to retain the title would be massive for us and brilliant for the people of the Shore Road."

Linfield boss David Healy rested key players ahead of the Irish Cup final but the Blues still had enough to despatch the Bannsiders with ease.
All the goals came in the first half, starting with Millar heading home from a Paul Smyth cross.
Blues skipper Callacher headed in from a pinpoint Niall Quinn corner before Millar pounced on a Lyndon Kane error to slot in the third just before the break.
Millar missed out on a treble when he header over while Callacher struck the bar in the dying seconds.
Linfield visit Glentoran on Tuesday evening, chasing three points and hoping for a Crusaders slip-up in the north Belfast derby.

Thousands of children in England are missing out on an education, the National Children's Bureau says.
+++++++
A:
|
The charity's research suggests many lose out as they have no school place or are unknown to the authorities.
The findings, based on Freedom of Information requests to councils, show that across 79 authorities 7,701 children on any day are down as missing class.
The Department for Education says the findings are misleading and unhelpful.
The NCB said that if 7,701 young people are missing school every day in the authorities that provided information, this would suggest more than 14,800 children are not in education at any time across the country.
A further analysis, based on detailed Freedom of Information responses from 45 councils, suggests that, on any given day, of those who are missing education, there are an estimated 3,000 youngsters in England whose whereabouts are unknown.
The study claims almost 5,000 children are losing out because they are waiting for a school place.
Other reasons given by local authorities for children being classed as "missing education" included being excluded from school; having special educational needs; being pregnant or a teenage mother; not enrolled in school or moving between schools; or because they have moved or are believed to have moved overseas.
Children are considered to be missing education if they are not on a school roll and not receiving suitable education other than at school, according to government guidance.
The NCB said it was calling for the government to conduct a national review of children missing education.
The charity's chief executive, Dr Hilary Emery, said: "Children who miss out on education are at significant risk of failing academically, and may end up as Neets [not in education, employment or training] in later life because their school life has been disrupted.
"There is also the real possibility that some of these children will suffer physical and emotional harm, particularly if they are taken off the school roll and their whereabouts become unknown.
"Recent high-profile cases of child sexual exploitation have involved children missing from education, and there is also a correlation between missing education and becoming a victim of forced marriage."
Dr Emery said the NCB was calling on the government to conduct a national review of children missing education and to improve the way data is collected both locally and nationally.
"The review should consider how local authorities, schools, social services and their partners can work with children and their families to ensure they and their families receive the best support possible, so they can get back into education."
But a Department for Education spokesman said: "These findings are misleading and unhelpful.
"Missing education is defined as a child not being registered at school when they should be or not being otherwise educated.
"This report inappropriately includes children who have missed one or two days of school, for anything from moving between schools to being sent home for having behavioural problems."
The report wrongly assumed these children were all automatically vulnerable or had slipped off the radar, the spokesman added.
"Local authorities and schools are best placed to keep accurate records of children in education and our recently revised guidance makes clear there is no excuse for them not to meet their responsibilities in this area."
Parents had a legal responsibility to ensure their children were receiving a proper education, he added.

QUESTION: Confidential; Attorney client work product; Not discoverable Here is a rough draft. I will also start on TVA letter. Per my earlier vm, I am struggling with the benefit of a 2 year proposal vs. 7. I'm not sure if we get any "cap" benefit from making a seven year deal even if TVA doesn't accept our offers (benefit would assume that TVA has an obligation to cover entire position which is contrary to what our outside counsel has said in the past. According to Bob, since TVA is asking for specific performance, it may not be reasonable for TVA to cover entire period. I will try to talk to him tonight.). If TVA accepts one of our proposals and then we lose the termination argument, what do we do? Supply? Terminate Again? In either case our proposal for 7 years will likely not cap our damages.

Question: Susan Magdalane Boyle (born 1 April 1961) is a Scottish singer who came to international attention when she appeared as a contestant on the TV programme Britain's Got Talent on 11 April 2009, singing "I Dreamed a Dream" from Les Miserables. Her first album, I Dreamed a Dream, was released in November 2009 and became the UK's best-selling debut album of all time, beating the previous record held by Spirit by Leona Lewis. I Dreamed a Dream set a record for biggest first week sales by a debut album, according to the Official Chart Company in the United Kingdom.
Boyle took singing lessons from vocal coach Fred O'Neil. She attended Edinburgh Acting School and took part in the Edinburgh Fringe. She also long participated in her parish church's pilgrimages to the Knock Shrine, County Mayo, Ireland, and sang there at the Marian basilica. In 1995, she auditioned for Michael Barrymore's My Kind of People. In 1999, Boyle submitted a track for a charity CD to commemorate the Millennium produced at a West Lothian school. Only 1,000 copies of the CD, Music for a Millennium Celebration, Sounds of West Lothian, were pressed. An early review by Amber McNaught in the West Lothian Herald & Post said Boyle's rendition of "Cry Me a River" was "heartbreaking" and "had been on repeat in my CD player ever since I got this CD..." The recording found its way onto the internet following her first televised appearance and the New York Post said it showed that Boyle was "not a one-trick pony." Hello! said the recording "cement[ed] her status" as a singing star. In 1998, Boyle recorded three tracks--"Cry Me A River", "Killing Me Softly", and "Don't Cry for Me Argentina"--at Heartbeat Studio, Midlothian. She used all her savings to pay for a professionally cut demo, copies of which she later sent to record companies, radio talent competitions, local and national TV. The demo consisted of her versions of "Cry Me a River" and "Killing Me Softly with His Song"; the songs were uploaded to the Internet after her BGT audition. After Boyle won several local singing competitions, her mother urged her to enter Britain's Got Talent and take the risk of singing in front of an audience larger than her parish church. Former coach O'Neil said Boyle abandoned an audition for The X Factor because she believed people were being chosen for their looks. She almost abandoned her plan to enter Britain's Got Talent believing she was too old, but O'Neil persuaded her to audition nevertheless. Boyle said that she was motivated to seek a musical career to pay tribute to her mother. Her performance on the show was the first time she had sung in public since her mother died.
Using a quote from the above article, answer the following question: Is there anything else interesing about her life?
HHHHHH
Answer: Boyle said that she was motivated to seek a musical career to pay tribute to her mother.
Problem: Harry Connick Jr. was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. His mother, Anita Frances (nee Levy; later Livingston; May 22, 1926 - July 1981), was a lawyer and judge in New Orleans and, later, a Louisiana Supreme Court justice. His father, Joseph Harry Fowler Connick Sr., was the district attorney of Orleans Parish from 1973 to 2003. His parents also owned a record store.
With Connick's reputation growing, director Rob Reiner asked him to provide a soundtrack for his romantic comedy, When Harry Met Sally... (1989), starring Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal. The soundtrack consisted of several standards, including "It Had to Be You", "Let's Call the Whole Thing Off" and "Don't Get Around Much Anymore", and achieved double-platinum status in the United States. He won his first Grammy Award for Best Jazz Male Vocal Performance for his work on the soundtrack. Connick made his screen debut in Memphis Belle (1990), a fictional story about a B-17 Flying Fortress bomber crew in World War II. In that year he began a two-year world tour. In addition, he released two albums in July 1990: the instrumental jazz trio album Lofty's Roach Souffle and a big-band album of mostly original songs titled We Are in Love, which also went double platinum. We Are in Love earned him his second consecutive Grammy for Best Jazz Male Vocal. "Promise Me You'll Remember", his contribution to the Godfather III soundtrack, was nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award in 1991. In a year of recognition, he was also nominated for an Emmy Award for Best Performance in a Variety Special for his PBS special Swingin' Out Live, which was also released as a video. In October 1991, he released his third consecutive multi-platinum album, Blue Light, Red Light, on which he wrote and arranged the songs. Also in October 1991, he starred in Little Man Tate, directed by Jodie Foster, playing the friend of a child prodigy who goes to college. In November 1992, Connick released 25, a solo piano collection of standards that again went platinum. He also re-released the album Eleven. Connick contributed "A Wink and a Smile" to the Sleepless in Seattle soundtrack, released in 1993. His multi-platinum album of holiday songs, When My Heart Finds Christmas, was the best-selling Christmas album in 1993.

Summarize this article:
About 20 properties in Cardigan, Ceredigion, have been affected by "significant flooding" with a hotel hit for the second time this year.
Eleven flood alerts include north, west and south Pembrokeshire and Lower Teifi and the Western Cleddau.
The Met Office has issued a "be aware" warning as more heavy rain is expected across Wales on Saturday morning.
In Cardigan, St Mary Street was reported to be knee-deep in flood water in places.
The Angel Hotel which was hit for the second time this year. Heavy rain sent surface water pouring through the hotel's ground floor from front to back.
The hotel had only recently been repaired after flooding at the start of this year.
Fire crews began pumping water out of properties after the alert was raised at 08:00 GMT but no property was evacuated.
Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service had crews from Cardigan, Crymych, Fishguard, Newcastle Emlyn and Llandysul dealing with the incident.
Ceredigion council said the county's flood plan has been put into operation and St Mary's church hall in Cardigan had been opened to residents.
It said: "The rainfall experienced in the south of the county this morning was exceptional with rainfall intensities of 32mm per hour reported by the Met Office.
"The highway surface water systems are designed to accommodate expected rainfall intensities but perhaps not the very exceptional rainfall circumstances as experienced earlier today."
Pembrokeshire council said it took more than 100 flood-related calls, with the north and north east of the county the worst affected, particularly St Dogmaels, Newport and Dinas.
Fire crews were called to pump out water at five of the properties in Dinas, Solva and St Dogmaels.
Natural Resources Wales had issued a flood warning for Solva but this has since been stood down.
In a statement, Pembrokeshire council said: "Roads were reported flooded up to knee high in several places, and there were road closures at St Dogmaels and Devonshire Drive, near Tenby.
"Many of the road flooding issues have been caused by debris dislodged in the heavy rain causing culverts to block.
"Other problems have been caused by vehicles driving through deep water, causing 'bow waves' to wash into and flood properties.
"Several of the flooded roads have had drain covers dislodged."
Surface water was reported on The Square at Fishguard, between West Street and High Street.
Flooding and poor driving conditions were reported between Fishguard and Eglwyswrw as well as elsewhere on the A487 at Newgale and Roch.
Dyfed-Powys Police said there were many other reports of flooding in Ceredigion, and conditions on the A487 were "particularly bad".
There is a Met Office yellow alert for rain across most of south Wales for Saturday and in the meantime there are likely to be isolated heavy showers.
Summary:
|
Flooding hit parts of south west and mid Wales following heavy rain overnight into Friday morning.

Question: James Black was born in Hackensack, New Jersey on 1 May 1800. James' mother died when he was very young and he had difficulty getting along with his stepmother. Black ran away from home to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at age 8 and was apprenticed to a silversmith. At age 18 he migrated westward and took jobs on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers.
During his travels, Black had befriended Elijah Stuart. Stuart opened a tavern at Washington and Black was hired by a local blacksmith named William Shaw. Black, due to his previous training, worked on firearms and knives while Shaw concentrated on horse shoes, wagon wheels, and the like. Black would later become a partner in the business with Shaw. Stuart's tavern would become famous as the place where Davy Crockett, Jim Bowie, and William B. Travis created the plan for an independent Texas and Black would go on to create some of the world's finest knives. Black fell in love with his partner's daughter, Anne Shaw, and was forced out of the partnership when Shaw would not allow the marriage. Backed by the note he had received from the dissolved partnership Black purchased some land along the Cossatot River and established a blacksmith's shop, dam, and mill. Black's endeavor came to an end when he was thrown off of his land. Local officials claimed that the land was Indian treaty land and that Black could not legally inhabit it. Black then discovered that the note he had received from William Shaw for his share of the partnership was actually worthless. Black set up his own blacksmithy in competition with Shaw's and married Shaw's daughter in 1828 despite Shaw's objections and also convinced Shaw's son to join him in his business. Black was soon recognized as the best blacksmith in the area which had a bad effect on his father-in-law's competing shop. Black and his wife had three sons and a daughter during this period: William Jefferson in 1829, Grandison Deroyston in 1830, Sarah Jane in 1832, John Colbert in 1834, and Sydinham James in 1835. Black became a respected member of the community and served in local government posts.
Using a quote from the above article, answer the following question: Was he successful in getting Shaw's son to join him in business?
HHHHHH
Answer: convinced Shaw's son to join him in his business. Black was soon recognized as the best blacksmith in the area which had a bad effect on his father-in-law's competing shop.
Question: Allen was born in San Francisco, California, to George Allen and Margaret Theresa ("Molly") Allen (nee Darragh; later Mrs. Edward Pidgeon), who were both of Irish Catholic extraction. She made her first appearance on stage at age three and was given her first role on the radio by Eddie Cantor. She was educated at the Star of the Sea Convent School and during that time became a talented dancer.
In the early 1930s, Burns and Allen made several short films, preserving several of their classic vaudeville routines on celluloid. They also made two films with W. C. Fields--International House (1933) and Six of a Kind (1934). In 1937, Burns and Allen starred with Fred Astaire in A Damsel in Distress, a musical with an original score by George Gershwin, which introduced the song "A Foggy Day". It was Astaire's first RKO film without dancing partner Ginger Rogers. Astaire's co-star Joan Fontaine was not a dancer, and he was reluctant to dance on screen alone. He also felt the script needed more comic relief to enhance the overall appeal of the film. Burns and Allen had each worked in vaudeville as dancers ("hoofers") before forming their act, and when word of the project reached them, they called Astaire and he asked them to audition. Burns contacted an act he had once seen that performed a dance using brooms. For the next several weeks, he and Allen worked at home to learn the complicated routine for their audition. When they presented the "Whisk Broom Dance" to Astaire, he was so taken by it, that he had them teach it to him and it was added to the film. Their talents were further highlighted as they matched Astaire step by step in the demanding "Funhouse Dance". Throughout the picture, Burns and Allen amazed audiences and critics as they "effortlessly" kept pace with the most famous dancer in films, as many did not know either of them could dance.
Using a quote from the above article, answer the following question: What position did they run for in 1940?

Answer:
Question: Herbert Alexander Simon (June 15, 1916 - February 9, 2001) was an American economist and political scientist whose primary interest was decision-making within organizations and is best known for the theories of "bounded rationality" and "satisficing". He received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1978 and the Turing Award in 1975. His research was noted for its interdisciplinary nature and spanned across the fields of cognitive science, computer science, public administration, management, and political science. He was at Carnegie Mellon University for most of his career, from 1949 to 2001.
Simon was a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence, creating with Allen Newell the Logic Theory Machine (1956) and the General Problem Solver (GPS) (1957) programs. GPS may possibly be the first method developed for separating problem solving strategy from information about particular problems. Both programs were developed using the Information Processing Language (IPL) (1956) developed by Newell, Cliff Shaw, and Simon. Donald Knuth mentions the development of list processing in IPL, with the linked list originally called "NSS memory" for its inventors. In 1957, Simon predicted that computer chess would surpass human chess abilities within "ten years" when, in reality, that transition took about forty years. In the early 1960s psychologist Ulric Neisser asserted that while machines are capable of replicating "cold cognition" behaviors such as reasoning, planning, perceiving, and deciding, they would never be able to replicate "hot cognition" behaviors such as pain, pleasure, desire, and other emotions. Simon responded to Neisser's views in 1963 by writing a paper on emotional cognition, which he updated in 1967 and published in Psychological Review. Simon's work on emotional cognition was largely ignored by the artificial intelligence research community for several years, but subsequent work on emotions by Sloman and Picard helped refocus attention on Simon's paper and eventually, made it highly influential on the topic. Simon also collaborated with James G. March on several works in organization theory. With Allen Newell, Simon developed a theory for the simulation of human problem solving behavior using production rules. The study of human problem solving required new kinds of human measurements and, with Anders Ericsson, Simon developed the experimental technique of verbal protocol analysis. Simon was interested in the role of knowledge in expertise. He said that to become an expert on a topic required about ten years of experience and he and colleagues estimated that expertise was the result of learning roughly 50,000 chunks of information. A chess expert was said to have learned about 50,000 chunks or chess position patterns. He was awarded the ACM Turing Award, along with Allen Newell, in 1975. "In joint scientific efforts extending over twenty years, initially in collaboration with J. C. (Cliff) Shaw at the RAND Corporation, and subsequentially [sic] with numerous faculty and student colleagues at Carnegie Mellon University, they have made basic contributions to artificial intelligence, the psychology of human cognition, and list processing."

Write an article based on this "Set a predictable routine and structure. Use "picture schedules" to create order. Be consistent with the schedule. Adapt the schedule in small ways as your child grows. Plan lots of time for your child to relax. Schedule plenty of time for fun. Plan some outlets for energy, especially if the child has hyperactive tendencies. Resolve any sleep or medical problems."
article: Autistic kids often feel more secure when they can predict the day's activities and make sense of the world. Create set places where activities occur. This can help the child stay calm and feel in control of things. Routines also make it easier to narrow down why the child might be acting out. For example, if they always cry when you ask them to do homework after school, it might be that school tires them out too much and they need to relax first, or that homework is a source of major stress for them. Picture schedules help to explain which activity the child will do next. Picture schedules are wonderful tools parents can use to help guide some autistic children through different activities they will undertake during the day. It helps improve structure in a child’s life particularly because autistic children often have difficulty keeping an overview of their daily activities. Some ideas for ways to use picture schedules include: You and your child can keep track of tasks by “ticking off” completed activities. You and your child can keep a clock or a light-up timer near the activities to determine the time frame for each activity (if this helps the child). Help your child to design and draw these pictures so they feel more of a connection with the images. Keep the images in a book or on a board or wall so that your child can refer to them whenever they please. This helps the child feel secure. If a change needs to be made, give the child warning and an explanation, so it feels less jarring. Work together with other caretakers (such as teachers and therapists) to create a consistent system. While the schedule should remain relatively consistent, this does not mean there is no room for development of your child’s activities and discipline as your child makes their natural progression in development and growth as an individual. For example, bath time may turn into shower time once your child learns to shower independently. Make changes to help fix issues as needed. For example, if you schedule exercise time after lunch, and the child often gets a stomachache during exercise, it might be that they need time for the food to settle. Talk to the child about the schedule issue, and brainstorm how to rearrange things (like exercising before eating, or having 30 minutes of free time in between). Autistic children can be especially vulnerable to stress, so it's critical for them to get enough "down time." Down time is particularly relevant when your child feels there is too much going on and their senses have been overloaded. When your child becomes distressed or upset because of this over-stimulation, this indicative of the need for down time. Simply take your child to a safe, quiet place and allow your child to ‘relax’ in a simple environment under casual supervision. Try to plan relaxation time after activities that tend to be stressful. For example, if the child usually comes home from school stressed or tired, then they should have at least half an hour of free time to unwind. If the child isn't old enough to go unsupervised, you can offer casual supervision. For example, the child could rock back and forth and draw pictures in a corner, while you read a book or do something on your phone. Autistic children, just like other children, need time to play and enjoy activities of their own choosing. Since stress can be a problem for autistic kids, relaxation time is especially critical. Self-directed play helps the child stay happy and emotionally balanced. Keep in mind that your idea of "fun" might be different from the child's idea. For example, a noisy party might be stressful for an autistic child. And lining up toys or walking in circles might be an enjoyable way for an autistic kid to spend time. If the child likes it, then it counts as fun, even if you don't understand it. Being bossed around by an adult usually doesn't count as fun, even if the adult is telling the child to play. If you play with the child, let them take the lead. Some kids can't stay sitting or doing the same thing for very long. If this is the case for your child, make sure to schedule plenty of time for them to "blow off steam" and use some of their excess energy. Sports and playing outside are often good for active kids. You can also announce unscheduled breaks if you see the child getting antsy. For example, you could say "I can see you're having a hard time focusing. Let's run around for 15 minutes, and then come back." If your child is not getting sufficient sleep or is suffering pain or ill health, it would be natural for them to express their distress which may be misconstrued as “problematic behaviour”. If you notice behavior focused on a particular area, try having a doctor check that area. For example, a boy who hits his head might be suffering from a toothache or lice. Hitting a body part can indicate that something is wrong there.
Write an article based on this "Use sharp scissors or garden shears. Prune the plants at the beginning of their growing season. Remove dead leaves and limbs at a 45 degree angle. Trim off any dead flowers."
article:
|
Make sure the scissors or garden shears are very sharp, as dull shears can damage the plants. If you notice any dirt on the shears, soak them in water with a teaspoon of bleach and then wipe them dry. A clean tool will ensure your plants are not exposed to bacteria or pests when you prune them. You can find garden shears for pruning online or at your local hardware store. If you are worried about scratching your hands while you prune, wear gardening gloves. If you have houseplants that do not flower, prune them in late winter. For houseplants with flowers or blooms, wait until they have bloomed before you prune them. Do not prune houseplants when unopened buds are present on the stems. Look for any leaves or limbs on the plant that are brown or discolored. They may also appear limp or dry. Use the shears to cut them off just below the brown or dead area at a 45 degree angle. This will ensure you leave as much of the healthy foliage on the plant as possible. Do not cut off any leaves or limbs that still appear green and vibrant. If a large section of the leafy area appears dead, you can cut off the entire branch. Leave the main stem intact and remove branches shooting off of the stem at a 45 degree angle. If you have houseplants that are flowering, make sure you check them over for any dead flowers and remove them. The flowers may appear brown, discolored, and limp. They may also feel dry to the touch. Cut the dead flowers off with the shears at the base of the flower’s head. Removing dead and dying flowers on the plant will encourage the growth of newer, more vibrant blooms.

Western political philosophy originates in the philosophy of ancient Greece, where political philosophy dates back to at least Plato. Ancient Greece was dominated by city-states, which experimented with various forms of political organization, grouped by Plato into four categories: timocracy, tyranny, democracy and oligarchy. One of the first, extremely important classical works of political philosophy is Plato's Republic, which was followed by Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics and Politics. Roman political philosophy was influenced by the Stoics, including the Roman statesman Cicero.
Ancient Greece was dominated by what?

Parallel to the military developments emerged also a constantly more elaborate chivalric code of conduct for the warrior class. This new-found ethos can be seen as a response to the diminishing military role of the aristocracy, and gradually it became almost entirely detached from its military origin. The spirit of chivalry was given expression through the new (secular) type of chivalric orders; the first of these was the Order of St. George, founded by Charles I of Hungary in 1325, while the best known was probably the English Order of the Garter, founded by Edward III in 1348.

The problem: Answer a question about this article:
Much of the early paper made from wood pulp contained significant amounts of alum, a variety of aluminium sulfate salts that is significantly acidic. Alum was added to paper to assist in sizing, making it somewhat water resistant so that inks did not "run" or spread uncontrollably. Early papermakers did not realize that the alum they added liberally to cure almost every problem encountered in making their product would eventually be detrimental. The cellulose fibres that make up paper are hydrolyzed by acid, and the presence of alum would eventually degrade the fibres until the paper disintegrated in a process that has come to be known as "slow fire". Documents written on rag paper were significantly more stable. The use of non-acidic additives to make paper is becoming more prevalent, and the stability of these papers is less of an issue.
What acidic salts were commonly found in the early types of paper produced?
****
The answer: Alum

In the final decades of this era many plebeians grew poorer. The long military campaigns had forced citizens to leave their farms to fight, while their farms fell into disrepair. The landed aristocracy began buying bankrupted farms at discounted prices. As commodity prices fell, many farmers could no longer operate their farms at a profit. The result was the ultimate bankruptcy of countless farmers. Masses of unemployed plebeians soon began to flood into Rome, and thus into the ranks of the legislative assemblies. Their poverty usually led them to vote for the candidate who offered them the most. A new culture of dependency was emerging, in which citizens would look to any populist leader for relief.
How could a candidate assure the vote of a poverty stricken plebeian?

Herbert Alexander Simon (June 15, 1916 - February 9, 2001) was an American economist and political scientist whose primary interest was decision-making within organizations and is best known for the theories of "bounded rationality" and "satisficing". He received the Nobel Prize in Economics in 1978 and the Turing Award in 1975. His research was noted for its interdisciplinary nature and spanned across the fields of cognitive science, computer science, public administration, management, and political science. He was at Carnegie Mellon University for most of his career, from 1949 to 2001.
Simon was a pioneer in the field of artificial intelligence, creating with Allen Newell the Logic Theory Machine (1956) and the General Problem Solver (GPS) (1957) programs. GPS may possibly be the first method developed for separating problem solving strategy from information about particular problems. Both programs were developed using the Information Processing Language (IPL) (1956) developed by Newell, Cliff Shaw, and Simon. Donald Knuth mentions the development of list processing in IPL, with the linked list originally called "NSS memory" for its inventors. In 1957, Simon predicted that computer chess would surpass human chess abilities within "ten years" when, in reality, that transition took about forty years. In the early 1960s psychologist Ulric Neisser asserted that while machines are capable of replicating "cold cognition" behaviors such as reasoning, planning, perceiving, and deciding, they would never be able to replicate "hot cognition" behaviors such as pain, pleasure, desire, and other emotions. Simon responded to Neisser's views in 1963 by writing a paper on emotional cognition, which he updated in 1967 and published in Psychological Review. Simon's work on emotional cognition was largely ignored by the artificial intelligence research community for several years, but subsequent work on emotions by Sloman and Picard helped refocus attention on Simon's paper and eventually, made it highly influential on the topic.

By. Becky Barrow. PUBLISHED:. 03:39 EST, 8 May 2012. |. UPDATED:. 18:10 EST, 8 May 2012. Andrew Moss: He will be paid £80,000 a month for the next year. The boss of Britain’s biggest insurance company will continue to receive his salary of £80,000 a month for the next year despite his humiliating resignation yesterday. Andrew Moss, who has quit as chief executive of Aviva after a shareholder revolt, will receive a golden goodbye worth around £1.75million in total. Last Thursday, 59 per cent of shareholder votes failed to back his gold-plated pay package worth up to £5.2million last year. It was the latest chapter in the growing backlash against boardroom greed, nicknamed the Shareholder Spring. Yesterday the 54-year-old chief executive said he ‘felt it was in the best interests of the company that he step aside to make way for new leadership’. But Mr Moss, who has also sparked public criticism for leaving his wife of 25 years and their four children for a junior married colleague, Deidre Galvin, in 2009, will not be leaving empty-handed. Walked: Aviva Group chief executive Andrew Moss, who is to step down with immediate effect. He will be paid his £960,000 ‘basic’ annual salary for the next year, equal to £80,000 a month, unless he finds another job. Mr Moss will also get a £300,000 bonus payment, a cash injection of £209,000 into his pension pot in five years’ time, deferred shares from a 2009 bonus, currently worth around £236,000, and a maximum of £45,000 in legal and other expenses. He has two pensions from Aviva: one worth around £530,000 and one worth around £2.75million, including the £209,000 payment. Mr Moss’s departure was announced on the eve of today’s Queen’s Speech, which is expected to fire the starting gun on a crackdown on boardroom excess and empower shareholders to veto any examples of corporate excess. Bounce: Shares in the UK's largest insurer jumped five per cent following the announcement, suggesting investors approve of Mr Moss's departure. Investor backing: The announcement was immediately followed by a spike in Aviva's shares. At present, shareholders can vote. against pay deals, but their votes are not binding on the company and. directors can still receive the controversial pay and bonuses. The main. role of such votes is to embarrass bosses and damage the firm’s. reputation. The mood of investors has turned ugly recently, triggering. the departure of bosses at drugs company AstraZeneca and newspaper group. Trinity Mirror. Turmoil: Aviva's St Helen's skyscraper looms in the City, where three CEOs have quit amid recent shareholder anger. Yesterday,. the chief executive of William Hill, Ralph Topping, was the latest. victim, with nearly 50 per cent of the betting firm’s shareholders. voting against a £1.2million bonus and a 8.3 per cent pay rise. At its. annual meeting, one angry shareholder said: ‘Chief executives are dining. in the last chance saloon trying to take as much as they can as soon as. possible.’ Business. Secretary Vince Cable, who has heavily criticised boardroom excess, said. bosses are finally being ‘brought back to reality’. He welcomed the. ‘uprising’ by shareholders as ‘a healthy development’, and said he is. determined to stamp out ‘rewards for failure’. Since. Mr Moss became chief executive in July 2007, Aviva’s share price has. more than halved, decimating the nest eggs of thousands of its smaller. shareholders. Liberal Democrat. Lord Oakeshott said: ‘Shareholder votes must be binding, otherwise it. just like a jury who acquit a man of a murder charge but the judge still. gives him 20 years. What’s the point?’ Deborah. Hargreaves, of the High Pay Centre campaign group, said: ‘The irony is. that Aviva was behind some of the recent pay revolts but, at the same. time, they were not looking after their own backyard. ‘This. is what makes Mr Moss’s payoff so intolerable. Aviva’s corporate. governance arm was lecturing others about pay and yet the company was. ignoring its own advice.’ Mr. Moss ceased to be chief executive ‘with immediate effect’ yesterday, but. he will not officially leave until the end of the month. Meanwhile, the average pay of bosses at Britain’s biggest public companies rose by 11 per cent last year to £3.65million, according to research published yesterday. The study, compiled for the BBC by Manifest, the adviser to shareholders, looked at the annual reports of 60 of the companies in the FTSE 100 index. On average, a chief executive gets a basic annual salary of £840,000, a long-term incentive plan of £1.14million, a cash bonus of £689,000 plus several other lucrative perks, according to the research. But the average worker in the private sector is losing ground, according to a report from the pay experts Incomes Data Services. The average pay rise handed out by bosses to their cash-strapped workers between January and March was 3 per cent, it says. It comes at a time when inflation is 3.5 per cent. The report found that 8 per cent of workers, who typically are employed in manufacturing, construction or the not-for-profit sector, had their pay frozen.

Answer based on context:
Following the death of General Advisor in Foreign Affairs Gustave Rolin-Jaequemyns in 1902, Phya Suriyanuwat, the Siamese Minister in Paris, was instructed to find a replacement. Phya Suriya was unable to find a suitable candidate in Europe, and notified Phya Akaraj Varathon, the Siamese Minister in Washington, that under the circumstances, he had decided to engage an American. In 1903, former US diplomat Edward Henry Strobel took a leave of absence from his position as the Bemis Professor of International Law at Harvard School of Law to represent the Kingdom of Siam in The Hague at the International Peace Court—which Rolin-Jaequemyns had been instrumental in founding. In 1906, Strobel moved to Bangkok to take the position of general advisor, where he died January 15, 1908. Among his successors were Jens Westengard, 1909-14, Wolcott Pitkin, 1915-17, Eldon James, and Francis B. Sayre—all but for Pitkin former Harvard law professors. "The Siamese government trusted the American Adviser in Foreign Affairs to act in the best interests of Siam. Authority and responsibility were delegated to him. He was permitted a considerable degree of freedom in his work. It was in his capacity as a lawyer, a jurist, an advocate, and a policy counselor that the American adviser contributed significantly to the successful conclusion of the treaty negotiations with the West." An agreement on relations between the two countries was signed in Washington D.C. on December 16, 1920.

Question: Write an article that answers the following question: How many yards longer was the longest TD run of the game than the shortest?
Article: Still looking for a win the Panthers played on home ground for an NFC duel with the Bears. In the 1st quarter the Panthers trailed early as RB Matt Forte got an 18-yard TD run. The Panthers replied with kicker John Kasay making a 24-yard field goal. The Panthers fell further behind with Forte making a 68-yard TD run, followed by a 28-yard field goal from kicker Robbie Gould. In the third quarter the Panthers replied with Kasay making a 53-yard field goal, but in the 4th quarter the Bears pulled away when Gould made a 53 and a 43-yard field goal.
Question: Write an article that answers the following question: How many yards did Nick Folk kick in field goals?
Article: Coming off their road win over the Lions, the Cowboys went home for a Week 15 NFC East rematch with their hated rival, the Philadelphia Eagles. After a scoreless first quarter, Dallas shot first with rookie kicker Nick Folk getting a 33-yard field goal. Afterwards, the Eagles responded with QB Donovan McNabb completing a 1-yard TD pass to WR Reggie Brown. In the third quarter, the 'Boys tried to catch up as Folk kicked a 23-yard field goal for the only score of the period. However, in the fourth quarter, Philadelphia extended their lead with kicker David Akers nailing a 21-yard field goal. With the loss, the Cowboys fell to 12-2, but clinched a first round bye with Seattle's loss earlier in the day. In Dallas Cowboys lore, the game became known as "The Jessica Simpson Game," due to the attendance of famous pop star Jessica Simpson, who was dating Cowboys QB Tony Romo at the time. Simpson wore a pink version of Romo's jersey and was frequently shown on camera cheering for her boyfriend. Critics of the Cowboys' performance that day would later suggest, perhaps somewhat facetiously, that the reason for Romo and the team's immense struggles was due to the distraction caused by the famous pop star's presence. This game has also been generally marked as the start of the decline of the Super Bowl caliber team the Cowboys fielded that year, due to the celebrity status the players enjoyed that season, as well as the lack of discipline enforced by head coach, Wade Phillips.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Train your cat to use the scratching post outside. Train your cat to use a litter box outside. Take your cat to a veterinarian.
Answer: Your cat will always want to scratch on things, and if it doesn't know how to use a scratching post, it will use your furniture instead. Before bringing your cat inside, place a scratching post in a dry spot, near your cat's food. Give your cat at least a week to become accustomed to using a scratching post before bringing it inside. Before bringing your cat indoors, place a little box outside in a dry location. Fill the litter box with fine-grain, clumping litter. Give your cat approximately a week to get accustomed to the litter box before bringing it inside. Make sure to clean the litter box every day. Outdoor cats tend to like to use clean areas to eliminate waste. If the litter box is not clean, they are likely not to use it. Put the litter box in a safe and quiet area. Otherwise, the cat might be too scared or hesitant to use it. Before bringing your cat indoors, you should be sure that it won't be bringing disease with it. If your cat hasn't already been microchipped, a process that allows it to be identified, your veterinarian should perform this procedure as well. A wild cat will also need to be vaccinated and neutered. Before the cat is spayed or neutered, the vet should perform a test for Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV). FeLV is highly infectious between cats and can be deadly if untreated. The vet will do two blood tests to see if your cat has this disease. The vet should do a complete check-up of the cat. This includes checking for ear mites, fleas, lice, and other parasites. The cat should also be dewormed.
Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Offer different pet services. Set up a pricing structure. Install an invoicing and payment system. Set up a marketing strategy. Guarantee your products and services. Write informational newsletters. Offer specials to potential and current customers. Encourage client referrals. Stay on top of pet store and supply trends. Sell your products online. Consider whether you want or need to hire staff to assist you.
Answer: Many pet stores will offer different services such as grooming, animal training, and boarding. The more diversified your services, the more likely you are to be successful. If you decide to offer additional services, you’ll need to make sure you’re aware of different legal requirements and the local market. You can find this information by checking with your local regional animal care office and visiting local pet stores. Even if you offer several different services, it’s a good idea to have a service in which you specialize to help attract clients. For example, maybe you know a lot about natural pet foods and toys. Consider specializing in selling organic products. It’s important to not be too diversified. Offer several different services that you do well instead of dozens that you do marginally. Set up pricing structure for your services. Knowing how much you want to charge in advance can make you appear more professional when you meet with clients. You may want to set base rates and tailor them according to how much work each individual product will cost. Be aware the large retailers may offer the same products for a lower price, so consider if and how you want to compete with them. Looking at what other pet stores or manufacturer’s suggested retail prices will give you a point of reference. Make sure your prices are commensurate with your experience and your region. Once you know your price structure, install an invoicing and payment system. Consider the types of payment you will accept and how you will write receipts, which will help legitimize your business and make it easier to report income. Make sure to have a separate bank account for your business than you do for personal finances. Likewise, have separate credit lines for your business than you do for yourself. Make sure every aspect of your pricing and billing is transparent to clients and vendors. Maintaining fair business practices is vital to your success. Ads are often the first impression potential clients have of you and you’ll want to consider different media to attract clients. Hooking your potential customers and keeping the message simple and concise can help attract a wide array clients. If you decide to design your own ads and website, research local businesses advertising to guide your design. You want your brand to be simple, distinctive, and attractive to your clients and potential customers. Design your ads to complement your brand. Use similar color and design schemes so that clients and potential customers associate these elements with you. Partner with other businesses to advertise your pet store. You can work out a system where other local businesses or national manufacturers to display your business information in their office or on their website in exchange for putting their information in your store or on your website. Getting involved in community activities is a type of free marketing, such as sponsoring a local dog park. Donating a service or making a contribution to a charity gets your name out in the public you want to serve. Guarantee the quality of your products and services. If you believe in them enough to guarantee satisfaction, potential clients may be more likely try out your business and current clients may be more likely to keep coming back. Staying in regular contact with your target markets by email or regular mail will keep your pet store name readily available. It can also direct clients and potential customers to your media accounts or retail space. For example, you can write a monthly or bi-monthly newsletter, but make sure to keep your information concise and the sales pitch at a minimum. Let customers know about any upcoming specials or promotions you have. Develop different specials or offers for clients that do not decrease your profits. Offering people an incentive can attract them to try out or return to your store. Think of something inexpensive but effective at enticing possible clients. For example, create a food buyer club. For example, for every ten bags of food purchased, a customer could receive the 11th bag free. You can also offer a discount to first time clients or on slower business days. Small businesses rely heavily on word-of-mouth advertising. Train employees how to build clientele through referrals and client relationships. Give a discount or upgrade on later visit to clients who refer a friend. Be sure your business cards, media sites, and ads mention how clients can "friend" you on social media sites. Mention the benefits of being a friend of your store and consider coupling this with sweepstakes and daily deals offered only through your social media sites. Develop incentive programs for referrals. For example, you can run a contest for clients who refer the most new customers by rewarding them a free bag of food or other pet supplies. Pet supplies can be a very lucrative business that is as susceptible to trends as other industries. Staying abreast of current pet store and pet supply trends can help you maintain a successful and healthy business. Read trade publications, attend continuing education, and network with other pet professional to help you stay current in your skills, services, and trends. If you want to expand your business farther, consider selling your products online. This can can help increase your profits. Your web site should present a snapshot of the experience a client will enjoy at your store. It is important that your store have a professional looking website because it can draw in potential clients and help keep your current customers. < Include sections on different services, products you sell, and any specials you offer. Structure the web site so that search engines can easily locate and bring potential clients to it. In the early stages, you may need to be the only person on staff- or you may not yet have the finances to hire staff. If you decide to hire someone to work with you, you’ll need to interview the person and make sure they are professional, experienced with animals or pet stores, and can help you grow your business.
Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Sterilize the sponge monthly. Microwave for 30 seconds. Let it rest.
Answer:
|
Even if you clean your sponge on a weekly basis, you should still sterilize it using heat at least once a month. This is especially important if you use your blender sponge on a daily basis. Standard cleaning removes surface bacteria, but the only way to kill bacteria lying deeper in the sponge is by killing it with a short burst of intense heat. You may need to sterilize the sponge more than once a month if you notice the bacteria building up more rapidly. Signs of intense bacteria build-up include uncharacteristic acne breakouts and a foul/unusual odor coming from within the sponge. Note that you'll still need to perform a basic cleaning procedure after sterilizing the sponge. Sterilization will only kill the bacteria; it will not remove any cosmetic stains or foundation. Place the uncovered bowl in your microwave and run the appliance at full power for 30 seconds. Keep an eye on the blender sponge as you microwave it. Don't be alarmed if it expands slightly or if small trails of smoke develop, but stop the microwave immediately if it balloons up past its full size or if heavy smoke starts to form. Wait one or two minutes before removing the bowl from the microwave and removing the sponge from the water. The sponge will likely be very hot once the microwave cycle ends, and the waiting period is primarily for your own protection. You can actually handle the sponge as soon as it is cool enough to touch.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Heat the butter in a wide pan, until there are just a couple small pieces of butter left. Remove from heat so it cools while you move on to the next step. If you're feeling extra fancy, clarify the butter by skimming off some or all of the milk solids. Their removal will make the sauce thicker, but less rich. Alternatively, just let these sink to the bottom of the pan, and decide what to do with them when it comes time to pour. . If you don't have a double boiler, just fill a pan about a ⅓ full of water and heat until you see a couple thin streams of bubbles. Place a heat-safe metal or glass bowl snugly on top of the pan, without touching the water. This indirect heat reduces the risk of your sauce burning and separating. Add four egg yolks and 1 tbsp (15mL) lemon juice to the double boiler. Whisk constantly and vigorously until the mixture becomes frothy and lighter in color, and the whisk leaves trails in the mixture. An experienced chef can achieve this in a minute or two, but 5–10 minutes is common for a first try. Scrape down the sides of the bowl occasionally as well. Any egg left sitting in place might scramble. If the egg mixture gets too hot, it will curdle or "split" into solids and liquid. If it starts to feel too hot or steams heavily, pick up the bowl with an oven mitt or towel. Whisk vigorously for 30 seconds to cool the eggs down, then return to heat. The first few times you make hollandaise, it can be difficult to identify the right temperature. To play it safe, do this for a few seconds, once a minute. If the mixture starts to curdle, immediately scrape it into another bowl and whisk rapidly with 1 tbsp (15mL) ice water. Pour the butter in a small, steady stream, whisking constantly and vigorously. The sauce should thicken easily at first, then become more difficult to combine. Pour more slowly as this happens, since too much butter can cause the sauce to split. This step can take anywhere from 2–5 minutes. Once you're more experienced, you can add the butter ladle by ladle, or even in two large batches. This risks splitting the sauce, but if you succeed you'll have a faster, airier hollandaise. Stir in salt and cayenne pepper to taste. You may also whisk in a little more lemon juice if you want a tangier flavor. If the sauce is thicker than you prefer, whisk in a little hot water. Until you finish the other ingredients, cover the bowl and place in a warm spot. Cool temperatures may split the sauce. If the sauce gets too thick, whisk in a few drops of warm water before serving.
Summary: Melt the butter. Set up a double boiler Whisk egg yolks and lemon juice together. Watch for signs of separating. Add the butter gradually. Adjust the spices and liquids. Keep in a warm place.

Get out a 10 in × 15 in (25 cm × 38 cm) baking pan or roasting dish and spray the bottom with nonstick cooking spray. If you don't have nonstick cooking spray, brush 2 teaspoons (9.9 ml) of vegetable or olive oil in the pan. Transfer the patty pan squash to the greased baking pan and pour the oil and herb mix over them. Use a large spoon to move the squash around so they're coated with the flavorful oil. Put the pan into the preheated oven and cook the squash until they're tender. To test if they're finished roasting, stick a fork into 1. If you can pull the fork out easily, the squash is done. If the patty pan squash is still too firm for your liking, roast them for another 3 to 5 minutes and check again. To add a fresh flavor to the roasted squash, top them with the optional chopped parsley. Consider serving your roasted patty pan squash with roasted chicken, broiled salmon, or grilled steak. Although you can refrigerate leftover patty pan squash in an airtight container for up to 5 days, they will become soggy the longer they're stored.

Having determined what type of finish is on your floor by following the instructions for Preparing the Floor, buy a stripping solution that will remove that type. Also make sure the stripping solution is safe to use on hardwood, or whichever material your floor is made from. If you can't find a product that specifically matches the type of finish previously used on your floor, try out a "universal" floor stripping solution on a small corner of your floor to test it. Remove all dust and debris from the area using a dust mop if you have one, or a broom if not. Put on clean footwear afterward to prevent further dust from getting on the floor. Chemicals in the solution can be dangerous to the skin or create toxic fumes. Work in a well ventilated area and protect yourself with gloves, long sleeves and pants. Use goggles and a respirator mask for large stripping jobs or poorly ventilated areas. The respirator mask should be labeled as an organic vapor blocker. A heavy duty trash bag allows for easy cleanup and lets you use the bucket for other purposes later. Follow the instructions on the floor stripping solution to determine how much you need, and whether to dilute the solution with water. Have a mop ready. The trash bag is especially essential for mop buckets, since you don't want to later clean your floor with residual floor stripping solution. A "strip mop" is a specialized mop that will do a more effective job, but any mop will do. You don't have much time to apply and remove the stripping solution, so it's important to have a second mop handy for cleaning up. The first mop will be too saturated with stripping solution to use for cleaning purposes. Stripping solution makes the floor slippery, so plan your route in advance to avoid having to walk over it. Scrub the floor evenly and allow to sit for 5 to 10 minutes, but do not allow it to dry. Try to agitate the finish with your mop as you apply the stripping solution. The stripping solution should change color as it removes and mingles with the finish over the next few minutes. If you are stripping a large floor, do so in small sections so the stripping solution doesn't dry. For large jobs, an auto scrubber or rotary machine is recommended, as it will do a thorough job pulling up all the finish. If using an auto scrubber, scrub the area leaving the squeegee tool up (not in use). If using a floor machine or burnishing machine, use the stripping pad attachment. Large jobs may require multiple stripping pads. You can use a doodle pad for this or a long handled razor blade tool such as a poll scraper. If you don't want to buy a specialized tool, any sharp flat blade such as a putty knife will do the job. Without stepping on the slippery floor stripping solution, use the blade to work the wax away from edges, where the stripping solution and mop have difficulty pulling off the finish. You may need to scrub the baseboard as well, if it has picked up wax residue. You can purchase a special baseboard stripping pad if you are using a floor machine. Do this after the finish has been worked off but before the solution has dried. If you worked in the stripping solution with an auto scrubber, simply lower the squeegee attachment and pick it up again. Otherwise, you'll need a wet vacuum to remove the solution. If a section begins to dry out, pour a little water from your clean water bucket to keep it wet. Rinse several times to ensure all stripping solution is removed. You can add a stripping neutralizer to your water to ensure the next wax will adhere properly. If you don't want to buy one, simply wash it thoroughly several times. You can use an auto scrubber or floor machine for this step as well, as long as you change the pad beforehand. Don't use the same pad you used to apply or wipe up the stripping solution. Thoroughly clean any tools used, including the interior of machinery hoses and tanks. If left uncleaned, the stripping solution will dry into a hardened mess and ruin your tools. Don't move on to waxing your floor until it is completely dry, or the wax may not attach properly. You can put a fan in the room to hasten the drying process.
++++++++++
One-sentence summary -- Buy a floor stripping solution suitable for your floor. Either vacuum or sweep your floor with a dust mop or broom. Use safety gear.

By Emily Allen PUBLISHED: 04:09 EST, 1 November 2012 | UPDATED: 04:49 EST, 1 November 2012 Fresh claims emerged tonight that Jimmy Savile tried to rape a woman while on a hospital visit and told her 'just think of me as good old uncle Jim'.

She gave her account as Leeds General Infirmary denied claims by former porter Terry Pratt that the late Jim’ll Fix It star was frequently handed a key to the nurses’ accommodation building at Leeds General Infirmary during the late 1980s.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Before hanging the garland, string lights around the boughs to create a lighted focal point on the stairs. If you’ve already hung the garland, you can drape the lights over and around the boughs for a more casual look. If you don’t want to bother with hiding the wires of the lights, use battery-operated fairy lights, which tend to come on a thin, metal wire that’s easy to conceal in the branches. around the zip ties to conceal them. This is a great and festive way to hide zip ties. Use ribbon to tie large bows on the places where the garland is secured to the banister. Your bows can be as small or as large as you’d like. Larger bows tend to look more dramatic and will complement garland that has large dips. Choose colors like silver, gold, red, blue, or white to complement the season and stick out from green garland. Most craft stores sell fake snow in spray cans during the holidays. Take the garland outside and spray the entire length with the “snow,” focusing mostly on the ends of the branches. Let the flocking powder dry for an hour before hanging the garland on the stairs. Never spray the garland in the house! The wet flocking will get everywhere and can stain the banister or your floors. You might have some shedding from the garland as people brush against them. If you’re worried about shedding, spray any brand of extra-strength hairspray over the garland to seal the “snow” in place. Use ornament hooks to secure the ornaments in clusters of 3 or 4 bulbs of varying sizes. Simply thread the hook through the top of the bulb and then hook the bulb onto a piece the garland. Wrap the hook around the garland a few times for added security. Pick bulbs of a similar color scheme to coordinate with the rest of your decorations! You could also decorate the garland with pine cones. Wrap wire or twine around the pine cone, then tie it to the garland or banister. Make sure the bulbs or pine cones are attached to the garland well, as they can fall when bumped. It might be helpful to wrap the hooks around the garland a few times to make sure they won’t fall.
Summary: Wrap lights around the garland for a festive look. Tie bows Spray flocking powder on the garland to give the appearance of snowfall. Hang ornaments on the garland to coordinate with your tree.
When you bring your cat or kitten home, confine it to one room in the house with his litter box and food and water dishes to allow it to acclimate to its home in a quiet, unhurried manner. Of course, make sure you spend a few hours interacting with the cat to help him feel at home. After a few days, let your cat explore the rest of the house. If you have a kitten, you may want to keep it confined to the main level of the house until he can manage stairs on his own. Most cats are easy to potty train, as long as they know where their litter box is located and they are able to access it easily. One major choice you need to make is which type of litter to use. There are many types of litter available: clumping, clay, silica based, and plant based (such as pine or wheat). You need to show your cat the litter box immediately when it arrives in your home. Cats tend to have a natural instinct to go to the bathroom in litter and usually are shown how to do it by their mother. By the time you bring home a kitten, it should have a good idea of what it is supposed to do. It just needs to know where the box is and it needs access to the box. Most cats prefer the fine-grained, unscented litters. An unscented scoopable litter meets this standard, as it probably has a softer feel on its paws. However, you may find your cat prefers a different litter type, especially if it has used a particular style since kitten hood. If you find a litter that your cat likes, keep with that kind or your cat may decide to relieve itself elsewhere. Clean the box daily so your cat has a fresh, inviting bathroom. While training a cat the same way as a dog is trained won't usually work, you can teach your cat some things. Teach it to play simple games and what it should, and shouldn't, scratch on. For example, set up an agility course for the cat in your living room and clicker train it to go through it. You can even teach an Abyssinian to walk outside on a leash! Provide a scratching post. To keep your furniture and wood trim safe from cat scratching, provide your Abyssinian with a scratching post or similar item to scratch. Scratching is a normal, healthy activity to help remove the dead outer part of the claws, to let the cat mark its territory, and to give it necessary exercise. If you catch your cat using a non-acceptable item as a scratching post, do not yell or hit the cat. Instead, pick it up and place it near the scratching post. To keep the cat from using unacceptable items you can use a cat deterrent spray, especially those with the smell of citrus, to keep them away from these items. Abyssinian cats are very smart, and so they need to be entertained and stimulated mentally. This does not mean that the cat will always be in the mood to play with you, but you should try to when the cat acts interested. Laser pointer toys are a great way to exercise your cat. They are also a good way to have some fun with your cat. Have a bunch of toys available to your cat, so that it hopefully plays with them instead of getting into trouble. Provide puzzle feeders and balls and mice to keep your cat occupied. Place a bird feeder outside your window where the cat can see it. This could potentially entertain your cat for hours. Get the cat a cat tree to climb. It would be good to place it in front of a window, so it can climb and get a good view at the same time.

One-sentence summary -- Introduce a new kitten or cat to its home gradually. Train your cat to use its litter box. Teach your cat basic skills. Play with your cat. Provide stimulation for your Abyssinian, even when you are not home.
Problem: Article: Because it involves a group's shared opinion of you, reputation change will take time. If you find yourself struggling with patience as you work to change your reputation, remind yourself that your reputation isn't either mature or immature like a light switch is on or off, but is instead on a continuum that varies in maturity, like a light dimmer switch that goes from very bright all the way down to off. If you did something regretful that is contributing to your immature reputation, say sorry and mean it; this will help you repair your reputation. When you apologize, do not over do it. Focus instead on actively showing, through your improved behavior, how you will fix the situation you regret or otherwise avoid it in the future. In other words, when making an apology, don't just tell, also show that you are sorry. It is possible that someone is leaking information about you that you do not want others to know. Find out who this individual is and ask them not to do so. If they are saying things about you that are inaccurate or entirely untrue, ask them why they are doing that, let them know it is damaging to you, and if they do not stop, seek outside guidance, such as from a parent or teacher. Let others know they are spreading false information about you. To figure out the source, try asking others who they heard particular information about you from. One drastic but effective way to change your reputation, which can be paired with your changing the behaviors you have identified as problematic, is to hit the reset button and change social groups entirely. By starting afresh, your reputation now has a clean slate and you can be seen as mature through your new found behaviors, thoughts, and emotions, more easily.
Summary:

Labour's Anne McTaggart has support from MSPs of all parties for her bill.
The current "opt-in" system requires a proactive choice by an individual to register to become an organ donor on their death.
The Scottish government said it would examine the bill to see if a "convincing case" could be made for a move to an opt-out system.
The new legislation would mean people would have to actively opt out or else their name would be added to the NHS Organ Donation Register.
Under the terms of the "soft opt-out" system, families of deceased patients would be given a say on donation if they could confirm their relative had made an unrecorded objection during their lifetime.
Ms McTaggart, who introduced the bill, cited evidence which said that three people died every day across the UK waiting for a transplant. She claimed her legislation could save lives.
"That's what the bill is about. It's about making more organs available to people who need them, ultimately," she said.
According to the government, there has been a 63% increase in the number of transplants carried out on Scottish patients since 2007.
Maureen Watt, minister for public health, said: "There is currently no consensus amongst experts as to whether this would make a significant difference and the international evidence is not clear.
"However the Scottish government welcomes any debate in relation to the important issues of organ donation and transplantation."
Ms Watt added: "In Scotland we lead the UK in increasing donation and transplantation numbers.
"The transplant waiting list is now at its lowest level to date. In addition, 41% of Scots are signed up to the NHS Organ Donor Register - the highest percentage of any of the four UK countries."
Ms McTaggart hosted an event at Parliament to mark the formal introduction of the bill, which was attended by representatives of a number of medical organisations including the British Medical Association (BMA), the Cystic Fibrosis Trust and the Scottish Kidney Federation, as well as transplant recipients and their families.
Ms McTaggart said she was "delighted" with the event, and the introduction of the bill.
"There's still a long way to go in the legislative process but I'm confident that the overwhelming evidence in favour of my proposals will ensure the success of my bill," she said.
Scottish TV presenter Lorraine Kelly, who had previously offered support, reiterated her backing for the bill via a video message where she stated that being an organ donor was a "unique opportunity for people to leave behind an amazing gift."
The BMA welcomed the publication of the bill. In a statement, Dr Sue Robertson, a member of the BMA's Scottish Council and a renal physician, said: "The whole transplant community works tremendously hard to increase the levels of organ donation with significant support from the Scottish government, but there are still people in Scotland waiting for an organ transplant.
"We believe that more can be done and more lives can be saved and this bill represents a positive step towards that goal," she added.
The British Heart Foundation also backs the bill.

His was an authoritative but minority voice: most Christians showed no qualms in the veneration of even "pagan" emperors. The peace of the emperors was the peace of God; as far as the Church was concerned, internal dissent and doctrinal schism were a far greater problem.

Problem: According to Sahih al-Bukhari, the Quran was recited among Levantines and Iraqis, and discussed by Christians and Jews, before it was standardized. Its language was similar to the Syriac language.[citation needed] The Quran recounts stories of many of the people and events recounted in Jewish and Christian sacred books (Tanakh, Bible) and devotional literature (Apocrypha, Midrash), although it differs in many details. Adam, Enoch, Noah, Eber, Shelah, Abraham, Lot, Ishmael, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Job, Jethro, David, Solomon, Elijah, Elisha, Jonah, Aaron, Moses, Zechariah, John the Baptist and Jesus are mentioned in the Quran as prophets of God (see Prophets of Islam). In fact, Moses is mentioned more in the Quran than any other individual. Jesus is mentioned more often in the Quran than Muhammad, while Mary is mentioned in the Quran more than the New Testament. Muslims believe the common elements or resemblances between the Bible and other Jewish and Christian writings and Islamic dispensations is due to their common divine source,[citation needed] and that the original Christian or Jewish texts were authentic divine revelations given to prophets.

These ISO standards were subsequently adopted by DIN as well. Finally, the latest DIN 4512 revisions were replaced by corresponding ISO standards, DIN 4512-1:1993-05 by DIN ISO 6:1996-02 in September 2000, DIN 4512-4:1985-08 by DIN ISO 2240:1998-06 and DIN 4512-5:1990-11 by DIN ISO 5800:1998-06 both in July 2002.

Problem: In 1839, Melbourne resigned after Radicals and Tories (both of whom Victoria detested) voted against a bill to suspend the constitution of Jamaica. The bill removed political power from plantation owners who were resisting measures associated with the abolition of slavery. The Queen commissioned a Tory, Sir Robert Peel, to form a new ministry. At the time, it was customary for the prime minister to appoint members of the Royal Household, who were usually his political allies and their spouses. Many of the Queen's ladies of the bedchamber were wives of Whigs, and Peel expected to replace them with wives of Tories. In what became known as the bedchamber crisis, Victoria, advised by Melbourne, objected to their removal. Peel refused to govern under the restrictions imposed by the Queen, and consequently resigned his commission, allowing Melbourne to return to office.

Write an article with the title: "Kagan says she would take a 'modest' approach on Supreme Court"
Article:
|
The day was dominated as much by a broad ideological clash between Democrats and Republicans -- over judicial restraint and the proper reach of government -- as by the woman who would become the 112th justice of the nation's highest court.
Speaking in slow and deliberate tones, Kagan told the committee that her experience as a legislative aide, a White House adviser and most recently solicitor general had underscored for her the importance of a judicial branch that knows its bounds.
"The Supreme Court is a wondrous institution. But the time I spent in the other branches of government remind me that it must also be a modest one -- properly deferential to the decisions of the American people and their elected representatives," she said.
The democratic process, she added, "is often messy and frustrating, but the people of this country have great wisdom, and their representatives work hard to protect their interests. The Supreme Court, of course, has the responsibility of ensuring that our government never oversteps its proper bounds or violates the rights of individuals. But the court must also recognize the limits on itself and respect the choices made by the American people."
These remarks, the only part of a 14-minute opening statement that hinted at her views, hold relevance for the justices' impending work. They may be called upon to assess the constitutionality of several products of Democratic governance, most notably the health-care overhaul passed in March.
And the remarks came in the context of a vigorous attempt by the Democrats on the panel to make the nomination battle about the direction of the court under Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. Pushing back against years of Republican rhetoric about "activist" liberal judges, one Democrat after another argued that it was Roberts and his conservative colleagues who were displaying true activism in overturning legislation such as restrictions on corporate spending on elections.
"We need a justice who can create moderate majorities on this extremely immoderate Supreme Court," said Sen. Charles E. Schumer (N.Y.). "The rightward shift under Chief Justice Roberts is palpable. In decision after decision, special interests are winning out over ordinary citizens. In decision after decision, this court bends the law to suit an ideology. Judicial activism now has a new guise: judicial activism to pull the country to the right."
Although at moments they engaged in this debate, the committee's Republicans mostly sought to keep the spotlight on Kagan. After opening with a gracious tone, they moved quickly to frame her -- as Sen. Charles E. Grassley (Iowa) put it -- as a "political operative" who lacks not only judicial experience but also the in-depth legal experience of other non-judges nominated to the court. Her years in the Clinton White House and in academia, they said, left her as somewhat of a cipher in terms of her approach to the law.
"Ms. Kagan certainly has numerous talents and good qualities, but there are serious concerns about this nomination," said Sen. Jeff Sessions (Ala.), the panel's ranking Republican. Kagan, he added, has "less real legal experience of any nominee in at least 50 years," has "barely practiced law, and not with the intensity and duration from which real understanding occurs," has "never tried a case before a jury" and "argued her first appellate case just nine months ago."
"While academia certainly has value," he said, "there is no substitute for being in the harness of the law, handling real cases over a period of years."
Republicans also sought to paint Kagan as a product of an elite echelon far removed from the "regular people" with whom President Obama says he wants judges to empathize.
