Problem: The 1933 double eagle, a $20 gold piece with a mysterious history that involves a president, a king and a Secret Service sting operation, was auctioned Tuesday last night for a record price for a coin, $7.59 million, nearly double the previous record. The anonymous buyer, believed to be an individual collector who lives in the United States, made the winning bid in a fiercely contested nine-minute auction at Sotheby's in Manhattan. Eight bidders were joined by 500 coin collectors and dealers in an auction house audience seemingly devoid of celebrity bidders, while an additional 534 observers followed the bidding on eBay. As auction houses prepare for their fall seasons in an uncertain economy, the sale price "suggests that the marketplace for important items is enormously strong," said David Redden, a vice chairman at Sotheby's, who was the auctioneer. "This is an astonishing new record for a coin," he said. In an unprecedented move, the auction proceeds were split by the U.S. Mint and a London coin dealer, Stephen Fenton, who had won that right in court after having been arrested by Secret Service agents for trying to sell the coin in the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Manhattan in 1996. Henrietta Holsman Fore, the director of the U.S. Mint, who witnessed the sale, said, "The monies we receive will go toward helping to pay down the debt and to fight the war on terrorism." Fenton commented that the double eagle had been on "a long historic journey, with a very satisfying ending." He added, "I am thrilled with the price." The previous numismatic record holder was an 1804 U.S. silver dollar, which sold for $4.14 million in 1999. Sotheby's partner in the one-lot auction was Stack's Rare Coins, with which it shared the customary 15 percent commission. "I have never seen as much interest in the sale of any coin in my 30 years in the business," said Lawrence R. Stack, the company's managing director. "This is the Mona Lisa of coins," said Beth Deisher, editor of Coin World, the largest weekly coin publication in the United States, with a circulation of 85,000. "It is unique. Forbidden fruit." Collectors' Web sites have surged with speculation about the sale price, and enthusiasts even organized betting pools. <sep>Why was Stephen Fenton arrested?<sep>For stealing food

How to do a parkour vault
Know what you're aiming for.
A vault is any jump using at least one hand. There are very many different vaults, all equally fun to learn and perform. | Think dash vault, kong vault, or speed step, to name just a few. The one thing that sets vaults apart from other moves such as swings, running jumps or arm jumps is that they carry you over a hip-height obstacle using at least one hand. |

Q: Who is the technology imitating?, Context: Program execution might be likened to reading a book. While a person will normally read each word and line in sequence, they may at times jump back to an earlier place in the text or skip sections that are not of interest. Similarly, a computer may sometimes go back and repeat the instructions in some section of the program over and over again until some internal condition is met. This is called the flow of control within the program and it is what allows the computer to perform tasks repeatedly without human intervention.
A: | a person |
TASK DEFINITION: In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
PROBLEM: What is the force of gravity noted as?, Context: Since then, and so far, general relativity has been acknowledged as the theory that best explains gravity. In GR, gravitation is not viewed as a force, but rather, objects moving freely in gravitational fields travel under their own inertia in straight lines through curved space-time – defined as the shortest space-time path between two space-time events. From the perspective of the object, all motion occurs as if there were no gravitation whatsoever. It is only when observing the motion in a global sense that the curvature of space-time can be observed and the force is inferred from the object's curved path. Thus, the straight line path in space-time is seen as a curved line in space, and it is called the ballistic trajectory of the object. For example, a basketball thrown from the ground moves in a parabola, as it is in a uniform gravitational field. Its space-time trajectory (when the extra ct dimension is added) is almost a straight line, slightly curved (with the radius of curvature of the order of few light-years). The time derivative of the changing momentum of the object is what we label as "gravitational force".
SOLUTION: The time derivative of the changing momentum of the object
PROBLEM: What buildings were usually chosen to be burned to the ground?, Context: In the 1970s, the Bronx was plagued by a wave of arson. The burning of buildings was predominantly in the poorest communities, like the South Bronx. The most common explanation of what occurred was that landlords decided to burn their low property-value buildings and take the insurance money as it was more lucrative to get insurance money than to refurbish or sell a building in a severely distressed area. The Bronx became identified with a high rate of poverty and unemployment, which was mainly a persistent problem in the South Bronx.
SOLUTION: low property-value buildings
PROBLEM: What cardinal direction does Juneau's state reside in?, Context: Alaska is the northernmost and westernmost state in the United States and has the most easterly longitude in the United States because the Aleutian Islands extend into the eastern hemisphere. Alaska is the only non-contiguous U.S. state on continental North America; about 500 miles (800 km) of British Columbia (Canada) separates Alaska from Washington. It is technically part of the continental U.S., but is sometimes not included in colloquial use; Alaska is not part of the contiguous U.S., often called "the Lower 48". The capital city, Juneau, is situated on the mainland of the North American continent but is not connected by road to the rest of the North American highway system.
SOLUTION: | northernmost and westernmost

question:
What group in Belarus was alleged to murder people and bury them en masse?, Context: The Partyja BPF (Belarusian Popular Front) was established in 1988 as a political party and cultural movement for democracy and independence, à la the Baltic republics’ popular fronts. The discovery of mass graves in Kurapaty outside Minsk by historian Zianon Pazniak, the Belarusian Popular Front’s first leader, gave additional momentum to the pro-democracy and pro-independence movement in Belarus. It claimed that the NKVD performed secret killings in Kurapaty. Initially the Front had significant visibility because its numerous public actions almost always ended in clashes with the police and the KGB.
answer:
the NKVD
question:
What is the second largest ocean in the world?, Context: The Philadelphia dialect, which is spread throughout the Delaware Valley and South Jersey, is part of Mid-Atlantic American English, and as such it is identical in many ways to the Baltimore dialect. Unlike the Baltimore dialect, however, the Philadelphia accent also shares many similarities with the New York accent. Thanks to over a century of linguistics data collected by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania, the Philadelphia dialect under sociolinguist William Labov has been one of the best-studied forms of American English.[f]
answer:
Atlantic
question:
If there is expenditure over $774 million, what is the previous year?, Context: It is estimated that 5.5 million tonnes of uranium exists in ore reserves that are economically viable at US$59 per lb of uranium, while 35 million tonnes are classed as mineral resources (reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction). Prices went from about $10/lb in May 2003 to $138/lb in July 2007. This has caused a big increase in spending on exploration, with US$200 million being spent worldwide in 2005, a 54% increase on the previous year. This trend continued through 2006, when expenditure on exploration rocketed to over $774 million, an increase of over 250% compared to 2004. The OECD Nuclear Energy Agency said exploration figures for 2007 would likely match those for 2006.
answer:
| 2005

Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Hackers took control of home security cameras and video recorders to launch one of the biggest Internet attacks in history this month. The unprecedented attack raised questions about how the Internet will cope with a flood of connected and vulnerable devices expected to come online in the next few years. Photo: iStock
Attackers used an army of hijacked security cameras and video recorders to launch several massive internet attacks last week, prompting fresh concern about the vulnerability of millions of “smart” devicesin homes and businesses connected to the internet.
The assaults raised eyebrows among security experts both for their size and for the machines that made them happen. The attackers used as many as one million Chinese-made security cameras, digital video recorders and other infected devices to generate webpage requests and... ||||| Unsettling new claims have emerged about Nicholas Truglia, a 21-year-old Manhattan resident accused of hijacking cell phone accounts to steal tens of millions of dollars in cryptocurrencies from victims. The lurid details, made public in a civil lawsuit filed this week by one of his alleged victims, paints a chilling picture of a man addicted to thievery and all its trappings. The documents suggest that Truglia stole from his father and even a dead man — all the while lamenting that his fabulous new wealth brought him nothing but misery.
The unflattering profile was laid out in a series of documents tied to a lawsuit lodged by Michael Terpin, a cryptocurrency investor who co-founded the first angel investor group for bitcoin enthusiasts in 2013. Terpin alleges that crooks stole almost $24 million worth of cryptocurrency after fraudulently executing a “SIM swap” on his mobile phone account at AT&T in early 2018. Terpin also is pursuing a $200 million civil lawsuit against AT&T in connection with the theft.
Authorities arrested Truglia on November 14, 2018 on suspicion of using SIM swaps to steal approximately $1 million worth of cryptocurrencies from a different Silicon Valley executive. But Terpin’s civil lawsuit (PDF) maintains that evidence was revealed at Truglia’s bail hearing that he had texted his father and multiple friends to brag about the $24 million hack on the day of Terpin’s theft, allegedly offering to take friends to the Super Bowl with “porn star escorts.”
Terpin’s lawsuit includes a large number of supporting documents, including an affidavit filed by Chris David, a 25-year-old New York City resident who claims to have been an acquaintance of Truglia’s until he began to unravel the source of his new friend’s overnight riches.
In his affidavit (PDF), David describes himself as a self-employed private jet broker who met Truglia in a fitness center attached to Truglia’s luxury apartment building. Truglia allegedly struck up a conversation about booking private jets with his cryptocurrency. When the two met again a few days later, David says Truglia showed him accounts on his mobile phone and computer indicating he had over $7 million in cash in a JP Morgan account and more than $12 million in various cryptocurrencies.
“At the same time, Nick showed me two thumb drives (Trezors),” David recounted. “One had over $40 million in cash value of various cryptos, and the other one had over $20 million cash value of various cryptos.”
David said Truglia initially explained his wealth by saying he’d made the money by mining cryptocurrencies, but that Truglia later would admit he stole the funds.
“Over the next few months, Nick and I socialized at nightclubs, local bars, the gym, and in his apartment playing video games,” David recounted. “Gradually, I got to know Nick. He does not have a job or visible means of support. His typical day is to get up late, go to the gym, eat at the deli across the street, play video games late into the night and he had no friends. Nick was an egotistical braggart about his life and wealth. For example, once at a crowded lounge, he said: ‘Chris, I have more money than all of the people here tonight.'”
David started documenting Truglia’s activities after he and several of his friends were arrested for allegedly stealing Truglia’s laptop, mobile phone and Trezor drive. That incident, recounted in this New York Post story and in David’s own testimony, indicates that Truglia later recanted the accusation and chalked it up to confusion resulting from a heavy night of drinking.
According to David, when Truglia wasn’t bragging about his wealth he was displaying it openly: He lived in a $6,000 per month apartment, wore a Rolex watch which he claimed cost $100,000, and boasted he was going to purchase a $250,000 McLaren sports car. David also said he recorded conversations with Truglia in which the latter admitted to stealing $24 million from Terpin.
David said he even witnessed Truglia attempting a SIM swap at a Times Square AT&T store in August 2018. Here’s David’s account of that hijack effort, which allegedly failed when Truglia declined to pay the target’s overdue phone bill:
The affidavit states that later in the month David took screen shots of a now-defunct Twitter account that Truglia allegedly used (@erupts), which included six different messages about what the theft of $24 million had wrought.
“Stole 24 million but still can’t keep a friend,” reads another tweet allegedly tied to Truglia’s account:
David says Truglia even acknowledged stealing $15,000 after hacking into his own father’s accounts. According to David, Truglia’s dad asked to be repaid, and that his son agreed to return the money — but in bitcoin. In the image below — which David claims was a screenshot he took of a mobile phone chat conversation between Truglia and his father — the elder expresses mystification and frustration about how to complete the transaction.

Student: | Several "massive" cyberattacks were launched last week, with an "army" of security cameras and DVRs being hijacked by hackers, the Wall Street Journal reports. Even famed security researcher Brian Krebs was affected, and saw his website temporarily disabled. The hackers hijacked up to a million cameras, DVRs, and other devices and used them to generate webpage requests and unwanted data that forced targets offline in a "denial-of-service attack." It's not clear whether the hackers had access to any video feeds from the devices, but the attack has renewed concerns over the so-called "Internet of Things," "smart" devices that connect to the internet and are present in millions of homes—and that are likely "plugged in and forgotten," the Journal notes. Such devices are likely "never going to be updated" by users, says a security expert, and they include not just cameras and video recorders but lightbulbs, routers, cable set-top boxes, refrigerators, and even cars. Krebs notes, "We need to address this as a clear and present threat not just to censorship but to critical infrastructure." And another security expert says this attack could have been just "the tip of the iceberg." The Chinese manufacturer of hijacked security cameras used in the attack, Dahua Technology, recommends users always update their devices' firmware and use strong passwords. As for why Krebs was targeted, Engadget says it was revenge for him having recently exposed two major sellers of tools used in cyberattacks. (In another case, a hacker used her skills to escape a cult.) |

Now, solve this instance: (CNN) -- Cuba will pardon more than 2,900 prisoners, the government said Friday, though U.S. subcontractor Alan Gross is not among those who will be freed. The decision to release the prisoners follows "numerous requests" from their family members and religious institutions, and is a humanitarian gesture, said Cuban President Raul Castro. Among those who might be freed are prisoners over the age of 60, along with those who are sick, female or young with no previous criminal record. With some exceptions, prisoners convicted of spying, terrorism, murder and drug trafficking will not be released. Those who will be freed have already served a "important" part of their sentences and exhibited good behavior, according to an official statement published on the state-run website Cubadebate. The jailed American, Gross, will not be among those pardoned, the Cuban Interests Section in Washington said. Gross was jailed in December 2009, when he was working as a subcontractor on a U.S. Agency for International Development project aimed at spreading democracy. Castro has accused him of importing satellite equipment to connect dissidents to the Internet, and this year Cuba's highest court upheld the 15-year sentence imposed on Gross for committing crimes against the security of the state. He has maintained his innocence and said he was trying to help connect the Jewish community to the Internet. Castro, speaking to the National Assembly, said that 86 prisoners from 25 countries would be among those released in coming days. He cited the upcoming visit of Pope Benedict XVI as one of the motivations behind the move, which he said showed the "generosity and strength of the revolution." The pope has said he plans to visit Mexico and Cuba before Easter. <sep>How was Gross able to connect the Jewish community to the internet?<sep>Importing satellite equipment to connect dissidents to the Internet

Example: Powdered sugar, also called confectioners' sugar, icing sugar, and icing cake, is a finely ground sugar produced by milling granulated sugar into a powdered state. It usually contains a small amount of anti-caking agent to prevent clumping and improve flow. Although most often produced in a factory, powdered sugar can also be made by processing ordinary granulated sugar in a coffee grinder, or by crushing it by hand in a mortar and pestle.
Example solution: is confectionary sugar the same as powdered sugar?
Example explanation: The question is a yes/no question, and it is answerable based on the given passage.
Problem: Cows routinely lie down and can easily regain their footing unless sick or injured. Scientific studies have been conducted to determine if cow tipping is theoretically possible, with varying conclusions. All agree that cows are large animals that are difficult to surprise and will generally resist attempts to be tipped. Estimates suggest a force of between 3,000 and 4,000 newtons (670 and 900 pounds-force) is needed, and that at least four and possibly as many as fourteen people would be required to achieve this. In real-life situations where cattle have to be laid on the ground, or ``cast'', such as for branding, hoof care or veterinary treatment, either rope restraints are required or specialized mechanical equipment is used that confines the cow and then tips it over. On rare occasions, cattle can lie down or fall down in proximity to a ditch or hill that restricts their normal ability to rise without help. Cow tipping has many references in popular culture and is also used as a figure of speech.
| Solution: can cows get up after being tipped over? |

Part 3. Exercise
Among the early blows struck for independence was a rebellion in the town of Olhão. On 16 June 1808, the townsfolk — armed with little more than ancient swords, spears, and stones — attacked and captured the local French garrison. It's said that a party of local men then set sail from Olhão all the way to Brazil, without maps or navigational aids, to tell the king of the insurrection. The real battle, however, was waged under the leadership of the Duke of Wellington, whose coalition forces expelled the French after two years of bitter fighting. The war left Portugal further weakened, and in 1822 its major empire outpost, Brazil, declared independence. At the same time, a dispute over the crown continually raged between Pedro IV, the absentee monarch who preferred to reign as Emperor of Brazil rather than return to Portugal, and his brother Miguel. The power struggle, with strong overtones of absolutism versus liberalism, excited the interest and intervention of other powers. With British help, Pedro defeated Miguel off Cape St. Vincent in 1833, and his expeditionary force marched to Lisbon. Pedro took the throne, though armed struggle continued for months and the lingering bitterness long after that. By 1892 Portugal, racked by wars and the continuing expense of maintaining its African colonies (including those of Mozambique and Angola), declared itself bankrupt. The seeds of discontent with absolutist rule were sown. Kingdom's End Bloodshed would haunt the remaining years of the Portuguese monarchy. On 1 February 1908, the royal family was riding in an open carriage along the Lisbon river front plaza, Terreiro do Paço, when an assassin opened fire and killed King Carlos and the heir to the throne, Prince Luis Filipe. The prince's younger brother, Prince Manuel, was also hit, but he survived and was thus propelled to the throne at the tender age of 19. Amid republican agitation, a surprise uprising led by elements within the armed forces deposed Manuel in 1910. Having ruled for less than three years, Manuel died in exile in 1932 in England. The sudden end of more than seven centuries of monarchy brought confusion and crisis to the country. Presidents and prime ministers were ushered into and out of office an unbelievable 45 times between 1910 and 1926, until a military revolution suspended Portugal's problematic democracy. <sep>How many years after Portugal declared bankruptcy was the monarchy deposed elements of the armed forces<sep>92

You will be given a definition of a task first, then an example. Follow the example to solve a new instance of the task.
In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.
Solution: Russian Revolution
Why? This is a good example, and the Russian Revolution is the first event mentioned.
New input: How broad are the benefits provided by the European E-Commerce Directive?, Context: The U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (1998) and the European E-Commerce Directive (2000) provide online intermediaries with limited statutory immunity from liability for copyright infringement. Online intermediaries hosting content that infringes copyright are not liable, so long as they do not know about it and take actions once the infringing content is brought to their attention. In U.S. law this is characterized as "safe harbor" provisions. Under European law, the governing principles for Internet Service Providers are "mere conduit", meaning that they are neutral 'pipes' with no knowledge of what they are carrying; and 'no obligation to monitor' meaning that they cannot be given a general mandate by governments to monitor content. These two principles are a barrier for certain forms of online copyright enforcement and they were the reason behind an attempt to amend the European Telecoms Package in 2009 to support new measures against copyright infringement.

In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
The film’s end credits attribute Slender Man’s creation to a single person, Eric Knudsen, whose internet appearances as “Victor Surge” inspired the crowdsourced fiction and graphics that made the character an internet meme. To me, the faceless man in a black suit with a thin tie looks like a character out of a Steve Ditko comic. He’s so indefinitely conceived overall that I was reminded of the bit about the druids in the Spinal Tap song “Stonehenge”: “No one knows who they were or what they were doing/But their legacy remains.”
The character’s possible amusement value, though, is severely hindered by a recent real-life attempted murder case in which two preteen girls, inspired by Slender Man fiction, stabbed a classmate. That the director Sylvain White and the writer David Birke felt justified in moving ahead with this project anyway says pretty much what you think it does about ambition in Hollywood. (And this isn’t even the first movie inspired by the character!) But as it happens, they’ve wound up concocting the most perfunctory horror picture I’ve seen in some time. It’s not even worth making a “thin gruel” joke about. ||||| Focused crawls are collections of frequently-updated webcrawl data from narrow (as opposed to broad or wide) web crawls, often focused on a single domain or subdomain. ||||| Published on Jul 26, 2018

In a small town in Massachusetts, a group of friends perform a ritual in an attempt to debunk the lore of SLENDER MAN. When one of them goes mysteriously missing, they begin to suspect that she is, in fact, HIS latest victim.
Directed by: Sylvain White
Written by: David Birke
Based on a character by: Victor Surge
Produced by: Bradley J. Fischer, James Vanderbilt, William Sherak, Robyn Meisinger, Sarah Snow
Cast:
Joey King

Annalise Basso
and Javier Botet ||||| In “Slender Man,” the title demon is one of those spectral showbiz creeps from another dimension who’s coming to get you. He’s like Freddy Krueger, in that he targets teenagers and spirits them away the moment they let their defenses down. He’s like the force from “Ringu,” in that the trouble all starts when you watch an evil black-and-white digital file full of flickering imagery that looks like “Un Chien Andalou” crossed with a Tool video. He’s like Candy Man, in that he’s a historical ghost with a two-word name ending in “Man,” or Pennywise from “It,” in that he targets a close-knit group of friends, knocking them off one by one.
In this case, though, when you glimpse the character of Slender Man (Javier Botet) in the background of photographs or amateur videos, or even when you see him up close, he remains an oblique phantom: tall and spindly, like Ichabod Crane, in a black suit and parson’s tie, with long arms like tree branches and a blank blob of a face. He’s coming to get you, but who he is remains a mystery. He’s the walking-dead spirit of formula teen horror — the monster who, no matter how many times you kill him, never goes away.
“Slender Man” takes off from a “creepypasta” Internet meme that originated in 2009, and it’s the character’s abstract quality that results in a handful of shivery moments, especially when the four high-school girls who are the film’s main characters call up underground video files in which he lurks like an outlaw with a smudged face. Yet apart from its occasionally spooky images, “Slender Man” is a fundamentally derivative and empty-headed horror film. The more it tries to sketch in the rules of who Slender Man is and what he means and how he operates, the more you realize that the film is just winging it, stitching together old tropes and hoping that they blossom into something coherent.
The movie, written by David Birke and directed by Sylvain White, lifts a great deal from “Ringu” and its American remake and sequels, notably the merging of paranormal horror and staticky technology — which means, in this case, that Slender Man turns out to be a “bioelectric” force, so that when he shows up we often hear crackling voltage on the soundtrack. He’s also pictured standing in front of bare-limbed trees at night, because he’s like a tree himself, and there’s imagery of twiggy black foliage erupting out of victims’ mouths, mostly because that looks sort of cool. But “Slender Man” is the kind of movie in which images come before logic, because there really isn’t much logic. There’s just a movie out to goose you.
The girls try to protect each other, which means that each abduction into the great dark beyond is also a sacrifice, a way of shielding the next girl. But where do they go when they’re taken? There’s no answer to that other than “away,” and that’s why the film has a murky, vague, grasping-at-straws-of-evil quality. The actresses make their presence felt, especially Joey King as Wren, a soulful waif in a punk choker, and Jaz Sinclair as Chloe, who beams with life until she calls up a video of Slender Man, only to watch in frozen horror as he films himself entering her house and coming up the stairs (which lends one more layer to the film’s borrowings — a whisper of “Halloween”). But like the victims in Freddy’s movies, the characters in “Slender Man” have a way of being tremulously emotional and, in that very desperation, entirely disposable. When they’re taken, it means next to nothing, because they were never anything but the sum of their fears. ||||| | The reviews are in for Slender Man, the faceless character's jump from the Internet to the big screen thanks to Sony Pictures and director Sylvain White, and they're nearly universally awful. Four zingers summing up critics' 11% rating on Rotten Tomatoes: "Perhaps that's one way to kill off Slender Man: make his story so dull that no one cares," writes Adam Graham at Detroit News. Bill Goodykoontz at the Arizona Republic notes "Slender Man bravely goes against the well-established notion that scary movies should be scary." "Slender Man is a fundamentally derivative and empty-headed horror film," is how Owen Gleiberman puts it at Variety. Glenn Kenny at the New York Times calls it "the most perfunctory horror picture I've seen in some time. It's not even worth making a 'thin gruel' joke about." |

How to use an xbox 360 headset

Input: Duane was hungry, but he hurried through the ample supper that was set before him, urged on by curiosity and astonishment. The only way he could account for his presence there in a ranger's camp was that MacNelly hoped to get useful information out of him. Still that would hardly have made this captain so eager. There was a mystery here, and Duane could scarcely wait for it to be solved. While eating he had bent keen eyes around him. After a first quiet scrutiny the rangers apparently paid no more attention to him. They were all veterans in service--Duane saw that--and rugged, powerful men of iron constitution. Despite the occasional joke and sally of the more youthful members, and a general conversation of camp-fire nature, Duane was not deceived about the fact that his advent had been an unusual and striking one, which had caused an undercurrent of conjecture and even consternation among them. These rangers were too well trained to appear openly curious about their captain's guest. If they had not deliberately attempted to be oblivious of his presence Duane would have concluded they thought him an ordinary visitor, somehow of use to MacNelly. As it was, Duane felt a suspense that must have been due to a hint of his identity. <sep>In this scenario, Duane is seen doing what?<sep>Eating Supper

- Since shrimp generally won't last as long as fresh ones do, the best seafood for gentle cleaning is larger shrimp, which have poor bones and soft flesh. The more you clean shrimp, the less likely they'll be pickled or slimy.
- Cooked shrimp should be firm, pinkish-white, and should not have a strong fishy odor. Some cooked shrimp will have head, legs, carapace, and shell all attached, while others will have some combination of these.
OUT: Cooked shrimp should be firm, pinkish-white, and should not have a strong fishy odor. Some cooked shrimp will have head, legs, carapace, and shell all attached, while others will have some combination of these.

Question: How often were people arrested before 1968 during a seizure?, Context: In Terry v. Ohio (1968) the court divided seizure into two parts, the investigatory stop and arrest. The court further held that during an investigatory stop a police officer's search " [is] confined to what [is] minimally necessary to determine whether [a suspect] is armed, and the intrusion, which [is] made for the sole purpose of protecting himself and others nearby, [is] confined to ascertaining the presence of weapons" (U.S. Supreme Court). Before Terry, every police encounter constituted an arrest, giving the police officer the full range of search authority. Search authority during a Terry stop (investigatory stop) is limited to weapons only.
Answer: every police encounter constituted an arrest
Question: What does Thapar decry as helping to put too much focus on certain aspects of Indian history?, Context: Romila Thapar notes that the division into Hindu-Muslim-British periods of Indian history gives too much weight to "ruling dynasties and foreign invasions", neglecting the social-economic history which often showed a strong continuity. The division into Ancient-Medieval-Modern periods overlooks the fact that the Muslim conquests occurred gradually during which time many things came and went off, while the south was never completely conquered. According to Thapar, a periodisation could also be based on "significant social and economic changes", which are not strictly related to a change of ruling powers.[note 1]
Answer: division into Hindu-Muslim-British periods
Question: Huxley was not overly respectful of?, Context: Evolution had less obvious applications to anatomy and morphology, and at first had little impact on the research of the anatomist Thomas Henry Huxley. Despite this, Huxley strongly supported Darwin on evolution; though he called for experiments to show whether natural selection could form new species, and questioned if Darwin's gradualism was sufficient without sudden leaps to cause speciation. Huxley wanted science to be secular, without religious interference, and his article in the April 1860 Westminster Review promoted scientific naturalism over natural theology, praising Darwin for "extending the domination of Science over regions of thought into which she has, as yet, hardly penetrated" and coining the term "Darwinism" as part of his efforts to secularise and professionalise science. Huxley gained influence, and initiated the X Club, which used the journal Nature to promote evolution and naturalism, shaping much of late Victorian science. Later, the German morphologist Ernst Haeckel would convince Huxley that comparative anatomy and palaeontology could be used to reconstruct evolutionary genealogies.

Teacher:In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: Why does The Glasgow Tower have these elevators?, Context: A climbing elevator is a self-ascending elevator with its own propulsion. The propulsion can be done by an electric or a combustion engine. Climbing elevators are used in guyed masts or towers, in order to make easy access to parts of these constructions, such as flight safety lamps for maintenance. An example would be the Moonlight towers in Austin, Texas, where the elevator holds only one person and equipment for maintenance. The Glasgow Tower — an observation tower in Glasgow, Scotland — also makes use of two climbing elevators.

Q: How would the universe look without gravity? It would have no planets and no stars. Thats how it looked when it was young. When the universe was young, there was only gas and dust. From this gas and dust, everything we now see was made. How were stars and planets created from just gas and dust? The answer is gravity. The same gravity that holds you down on Earth. The same force that causes your pencil to roll off your desk. The same force that causes it to fall to the floor. The invisible force of gravity caused dust and gas particles to be pulled together. This force is what formed all the objects in our solar system. This force formed the smallest moons. It also formed our Sun. This force caused more than just our solar system to form. It caused all the other solar systems to form. It caused the formation of all the galaxies of the universe. <sep>What does gravity do to the universe?<sep>It forms gas and dust

In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
Q: On a December evening in 2015, Nicole Barattini and her husband, Kevin, were eating dinner at a Long Island steakhouse with a couple they knew socially, Shawn and Lianna Fives.
Years before this outing, Nicole learned that due to a rare blood disorder called TTP , if she got pregnant, she or the baby were at a high risk of dying.
Adoption or hiring a surrogate were out of the question due to the high cost topping $90,000.
A few female friends offered to carry for the couple (Nicole had harvested and frozen her eggs, since TTP is not genetic), but for various reasons it had never worked out.
That December night, Lianna (already a mom of five) announced a surprise solution: She would carry a baby for the Barattini’s, for free.
The Barratini’s were stunned. “To see their faces, their excitement, I don’t think they believed it themselves,” Lianna recalls.
“I was blessed to have five kids and they are all amazing and I couldn’t picture my life without them,” says Lianna, 37. “And to see this family so deserving it broke my heart.”
On February 10, 2017, Lianna delivered twins, a boy and a girl.
“Lianna and Shawn saved us,” says Kevin, 35, who works for the town of Smithtown, N.Y. and has a DJ business. “You hit rock bottom and you think it’s the end of the road. We are literally blessed. There are no words.”
About six years ago, Lianna had heard about Nicole’s inability to have children through a mutual friend.
At the time, Lianna was between her second and third child, and felt she could not be a carrier for the Barattini’s until she was finished having her own family.
In New York, surrogacy for pay is illegal. However, altruistic surrogacy — which means one carries the baby for free, and also known as being a gestational carrier — is allowed, according to surrogacy attorney Melissa Brisman.
Following the birth of Lianna’s last child on June 2, 2015, she made up her mind to become a carrier. She also got a promise from Shawn, a busy funeral director, to help more with child care.
“At first it was difficult for me to get a sense of why she wanted to do this,” says Nicole. “She is an angel. She wanted to do this out of the kindness of her heart.”
Shawn started giving Lianna hormone shots to prepare her body for the implantation of the embryos created with Nicole’s eggs and Kevin’s sperm.
After a second IVF attempt succeeded, both couples went to 95 percent of every doctor’s appointment with Lianna’s obstetrician, Dr. Richard Klein, sometimes twice a week.
“We had so much fun during the pregnancy, the delivery,” says Klein, who has known Lianna since delivering her first child over 13 years ago.
Lianna’s gift “was to me the most you could ever do for a friend, to do something like that,” says Klein. “What a generous thing to do for a friend.”
On Labor Day, the couples — by this time the closest of friends — created a joint surprise baby announcement party for 60 guests, and included the Fives’ children, then ages 13 to 1.
Despite a lot of people asking Lianna how she would be able to give up the babies, “We said, ‘Their buns, my oven,’ ” she says. “I will always have a connection to the twins, but I had no problem with letting them go.”
On February 10, both couples were in the operating room with Dr. Klein for a C-section, required because one of the babies was breech.
First Dominic was born, followed minutes later by Luciana.
“I felt hot and dizzy,” says Nicole. “We saw the whole thing.”
The Barattini’s annointed Lianna and Shawn the babies’ godparents. Nicole and Lianna, who share the same March 1 birthday, are “closer than we’ve ever been, I don’t have a sister but I’d consider her like that,” say Nicole. “We don’t hold back, we are open, honest and I am constantly turning to her for guidance.”
Nicole “still can’t process” Lianna’s generosity.
“Every time I look at the babies it reminds me of what she went through, she never complained, ever,” says Nicole.
“We have a strong faith,” she says, “and I believe things happen for a reason, and I believe that energy you put in comes full circle, and I think it will with her.”

She went to her pediatrician, and her blood work came back abnormal: She had only 8,000 platelets per microliter, compared to an an average, healthy person's 140,000 to 150,000. At one scary point, her count dropped to a dangerous 3,000 platelets per microliter.

After being shuffled around to multiple hospitals, a doctor at a children's hospital in New Hyde Park diagnosed her with an autoimmune disease called thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (or TTP). TTP causes tiny, potentially dangerous blood clots to form throughout the body. Whenever she has an episode, Narattini feels extremely tired and may need to be hospitalized for as long as 10 days to receive a plasma exchange. She requires regular immunotherapy, a medication which can make her feel even more tired, too.
Now 29, Nicole has been dealing with her TTP for over a decade. But it was until a year after her 2010 wedding to her now-husband Kevin Barattini that she learned carrying a baby could be damaging to her health — the medication could potentially harm a baby, and to avoid any possible risk, she would likely have to stop treating the TTP, leaving her at risk. While some women do have successful pregnancies while dealing with this illness, Nicole says that she had been informed that many end up ill or never reach full-term.
The couple considered adopting a baby, but she found the process to be too expensive. She did, however, have another option: to freeze her eggs. Luckily, there was nothing wrong her embryos and she had been informed that her autoimmune disorder was not genetic. Eventually, she'd have someone carry her eggs. But the question was: whom?
"We had heard stories that sisters carried and mothers carried [eggs for women who could not carry], but I don't have a sister and my mother is over the age [to be able to be a carrier]," she says. "We just did it [froze my eggs] for precautionary reasons and hoped for the best."
Though paid surrogacy is illegal in New York, Nicole and Kevin looked into finding a surrogate by going outside of New York. It's also very expensive, though; an attorney informed her that it would cost around around $150,000 (ConceiveAbilities says the average costs for paying for surrogacy is between $98,000 and $140,000.)

In New York, you can use a gestational carrier — which is different from traditional surrogacy in that the carrier isn't connected by genetics to the child — without paying. You'd think that would make it easier on behalf of the parents, but it can make it even more challenging to find someone: It's a big ask to approach someone about using their body to carry your child. And Nicole understood that. "I have never been pregnant, but have heard that there is a major bond that takes place over 9 months [of gestation]," she says. "That after 9 months to hand off the babies — even if they are not biologically yours — is too difficult for some people."
Nicole and her husband were pleasantly surprised, though, to see that many of her friends offered to help out and be a carrier, saying how it was "crazy how many people stepped up to the plate."
But all of them were deemed to be "unfit" by doctors as a measure of precaution — they had to be the pinnacle of health in order to be a gestational carrier.
In late 2015, the Barattinis finally found their carrier: Nicole and Kevin's friend Lianna Fives.
Fives' husband, Shawn, had been friends with Kevin for about 15 years, and the family had long known about the Barattini's struggles. Lianna, though capable of being a carrier, had always been a supportive friend but offered to help. She was trying to grow her own family.

"Lianna always knew she wanted to have more kids, so she never mentioned anything to us," Nicole says, also adding that Lianna has said that she always knew she would help out despite not having offered early on. But after the Fives had their 5 children, they decided they were ready to help their longtime friends.
Lianna first tried with two of Nicole's embryos in June 2016, and was unsuccessful. She tried again in July, and it worked — soon enough, Lianna was certifiably pregnant.
During Lianna's pregnancy, Nicole, Kevin, and Shawn all joined her at doctors' appointments. Nicole says it wasn't weird for her to see someone else carrying her baby and receiving the care from the ob/gyn. "We had been through so much that I had been OK with the fact that I wasn't going to be able to carry, so at that point it wasn't hard at all," she says. "It was actually a relief that they were going to be healthy, and there was less stress for me knowing that a really good person was carrying them."
Lianna gave birth to two healthy twins, Dominic and Luciana, on February 10. She's now Luciana's godmother.
Nicole says her babies are healthy, and she's been in remission from from having any serious TTP episodes for two and a half years, though she still gets immunotherapy every 12 weeks, mostly to keep any potential symptoms at bay.
Nicole hopes her story gives other woman who can't carry hope. "It's never the end of the road. I do wish it was legal to have a surrogate [in New York], because I do think more people would do it if they were paid, unfortunately," she says. "But there are people out there like Liana that will do it out of kindness — and it's easier to find them than it seems."

A: | Lianna Fives heard about Nicole Barattini's plight through a mutual friend—because of a rare blood disorder, Barattini couldn't risk carrying a child because she or the baby would likely die—and made an incredible decision. At dinner together with their husbands in 2015, Fives told the Barattinis she would be a surrogate mother for them, at no cost. "To see their faces, their excitement, I don’t think they believed it themselves," the 37-year-old Fives, a mother of five herself, tells People. "She is an angel. She wanted to do this out of the kindness of her heart," says Barattini, 29. It took two attempts at IVF, but Fives was successfully implanted with embryos created using Barattini's eggs and her husband's sperm, and on Feb. 10 of this year, she gave birth to twins—one boy and one girl. "Lianna and Shawn saved us," says Barattini's husband Kevin, 35, who met Fives' husband about 20 years ago through volunteer firefighting. The couple thought they might never have children, since the high costs of adoption or hiring a surrogate were beyond their reach. Both couples, who live in New York, went to nearly all of the doctor appointments, and everyone was in the room when Dominic and Luciana were born. The Barattinis chose the Fives as the babies' godparents, and Nicole Barattini—who doesn't have a sister and whose mom was over the age to carry for her, per Redbook—says she considers Fives to be like a sister to her now. The Fives were even honored at a county event over Mother's Day weekend for their good deed, Newsday reported. "I will always have a connection to the twins," says Fives, "but I had no problem with letting them go." (In California, a woman gave birth to her own grandson.) |

Problem:What is the force of gravity noted as?, Context: Since then, and so far, general relativity has been acknowledged as the theory that best explains gravity. In GR, gravitation is not viewed as a force, but rather, objects moving freely in gravitational fields travel under their own inertia in straight lines through curved space-time – defined as the shortest space-time path between two space-time events. From the perspective of the object, all motion occurs as if there were no gravitation whatsoever. It is only when observing the motion in a global sense that the curvature of space-time can be observed and the force is inferred from the object's curved path. Thus, the straight line path in space-time is seen as a curved line in space, and it is called the ballistic trajectory of the object. For example, a basketball thrown from the ground moves in a parabola, as it is in a uniform gravitational field. Its space-time trajectory (when the extra ct dimension is added) is almost a straight line, slightly curved (with the radius of curvature of the order of few light-years). The time derivative of the changing momentum of the object is what we label as "gravitational force".
Solution: | The time derivative of the changing momentum of the object |

[EX Q]: Which of the following is not the name of a goddess: Taleju, Durga, or Kumari?, Context: Kumari Ghar is a palace in the center of the Kathmandu city, next to the Durbar square where a Royal Kumari selected from several Kumaris resides. Kumari, or Kumari Devi, is the tradition of worshipping young pre-pubescent girls as manifestations of the divine female energy or devi in South Asian countries. In Nepal the selection process is very rigorous. Kumari is believed to be the bodily incarnation of the goddess Taleju (the Nepali name for Durga) until she menstruates, after which it is believed that the goddess vacates her body. Serious illness or a major loss of blood from an injury are also causes for her to revert to common status. The current Royal Kumari, Matina Shakya, age four, was installed in October 2008 by the Maoist government that replaced the monarchy.

Utility and industrial boilers commonly use multi-stage centrifugal pumps; however, other types are used. Another means of supplying lower-pressure boiler feed water is an injector, which uses a steam jet usually supplied from the boiler. Injectors became popular in the 1850s but are no longer widely used, except in applications such as steam locomotives.
Output: steam locomotives
Input: Consider Input: What is the difference between how france and american view comic theory?, Context: European comics studies began with Töpffer's theories of his own work in the 1840s, which emphasized panel transitions and the visual–verbal combination. No further progress was made until the 1970s. Pierre Fresnault-Deruelle then took a semiotics approach to the study of comics, analyzing text–image relations, page-level image relations, and image discontinuities, or what Scott McCloud later dubbed "closure". In 1987, Henri Vanlier introduced the term multicadre, or "multiframe", to refer to the comics a page as a semantic unit. By the 1990s, theorists such as Benoît Peeters and Thierry Groensteen turned attention to artists' poïetic creative choices. Thierry Smolderen and Harry Morgan have held relativistic views of the definition of comics, a medium that has taken various, equally valid forms over its history. Morgan sees comics as a subset of "les littératures dessinées" (or "drawn literatures"). French theory has come to give special attention to the page, in distinction from American theories such as McCloud's which focus on panel-to-panel transitions. Since the mid-2000s, Neil Cohn has begun analyzing how comics are understood using tools from cognitive science, extending beyond theory by using actual psychological and neuroscience experiments. This work has argued that sequential images and page layouts both use separate rule-bound "grammars" to be understood that extend beyond panel-to-panel transitions and categorical distinctions of types of layouts, and that the brain's comprehension of comics is similar to comprehending other domains, such as language and music.
| Output: panel-to-panel transitions

Problem:In her storage room-turned-office, Jennifer Baum works under an expanding leak that is causing the ceiling to turn brown and crumble. Mold grows in the buckets positioned to catch the water. She shrugs it off. Outside her office she has taped up a clear plastic suit, and a sign that reads, "All employees must don protective gear before coming in." Such is life in limbo. Nearly a year after Sept. 11, the Legal Aid Society-the lawyers for New York's poor and homeless-remains, well, homeless. The nonprofit has been barred from returning to its 90 Church St. headquarters, across from the World Trade Center site, because of environmental concerns. Legal Aid has uncomfortable company. More than 11,500 New Yorkers continue to work out of temporary space, according to analysis by Manhattan-based real estate brokerage TenantWise.com Inc. and Crain's New York Business. That's 8% of the 137,000 workers who lost their offices or access to them when the Twin Towers collapsed. Legal Aid's 450 displaced attorneys and staffers have spent the past 12 months spread among previously unused spaces-some unused for good reason-in the nonprofit's other offices. It could be another year and a half before they return to their old desks. They have contended with difficult working conditions as demand for Legal Aid's services is on the rise because of Sept. 11 and the deteriorating economy. The civil division is spread among a few boroughs. Their papers and documents, some 20,000 boxes worth, are stuck in a storage facility in Linden, N.J. "I am counting the days till we can have all the parts back in one place," says Steven Banks, Legal Aid's associate attorney in chief. In the memories of the exiled workers, the old office has achieved mythical proportions. They say the wood paneling and rugs had the ability to cool emotions and lift spirits.

Problem:Rakal, her first officer, was staring pensively at his panel. He was what this was all about. She watched his graceful fingers ending in thick black claws tap out calculations on the panel. His pointed ears swiveled back and forth, catching every sound from the bridge, while his long tail swished to the rhythm of his thoughts. Only those of the Arrallin Insurrection inner team knew he was no common 'beta furry'. His silken fur, which would be tawny golden and striped with jet black bands, was dyed perfectly to a pure black, and his mane trimmed and thinned as to be indistinguishable from the rest of his coat. His eyes had been treated and darkened to a rich purple to disguise the brilliant golden yellow color that would mark him as an Alpha Arrallin, and leader of his hive. Right now, he looked like an overgrown wolf who'd learned touch-typing. The scout ship re-emerged from the hole - a brilliant speck emerging from a sphere of velvety blackness. It's hail crackled across the comm, and Tara spun to retake her seat at the helm. "Launch the second probe. Won't Central be crushed to learn that another gateway has yielded little more than a class F planet and a white dwarf system. Level 1 and 2 staffers should prepare to be briefed and move out. This sounds like it's the one." The distinctive whuffle of pleasure rippled through the betas on the bridge, and Rakal let loose a small growl, as if to caution his charges against false hope. They'd scouted twenty-seven gates so far, and none had turned up anything worth the Insurrection's time. Tara would not let giddy hopes drag them onto a rock that would spell the end for the project, and the Arrallin species. <sep>What was the mission all about?<sep>The mission was about Rakal and the Arrallin species

UPDATE: 50 Cent paid a $1,100 fine after he was arrested in the Caribbean island, St. Kitts, for using explicit language onstage, Billboard reports. A representative for the rapper said in a statement: "We just want people to know we ain’t mad about this, we all had a good time. 50 enjoyed it so much he decided to stay longer ... and we would come back and perform in St. Kitts again anytime they would like to have us back.”
50 Cent was arrested Saturday following a performance after cursing onstage, which is prohibited by the nation's law. The rapper was booked on charges of profanity after dropping a "motherfuckin'" while performing his hit "P.I.M.P.," TMZ reports.

The site added that 50 Cent's DJ didn't play a censored version of the 2003 single at the St. Kitts Music Festival, but when the F-bombs were broadcast over the speakers, the rapper still muttered the profanities instead of sidestepping them. That was enough for authorities to charge 50 Cent with using explicit language in public.
"[Curtis "50 Cent"] Jackson was only booked to host the show, when he arrived at the festival organizers asked him to perform, he obliged and used the DJ they had there," the rapper's representative wrote in a statement to Rolling Stone. "Unfortunately, they didn't have the clean version to his tracks, so there were profanities used during his performance. The show was a great success and he will make sure for future trips to St. Kitts that he leaves the 'motherf*****s' in the United States."
Had 50 Cent brushed up on his Eastern Caribbean Law prior to the St. Kitts performance, he would have read that cursing in public is illegal in the nation of Saint Kitts and Nevis. In 2003, rapper DMX was also arrested for cursing during a concert in the Caribbean country.
"There was a contract signed in which it was made very clear long before the arrival of the artists that there are laws in St. Kitts that do not take kindly to the use of indecent language on stage," Information Minister Jacinth Henry Martin said at the time of DMX's arrest. The rapper denied signing any contract that warned that explicit language was prohibited.
In the 50 Cent case, like in the DMX incident, it's expected the rapper will pay a small bail – DMX was forced to pay $376 – before being released. However, 50 Cent must wait until Monday, when the St. Kitts court is in session, to face the profanity charge.
50 Cent has not commented on the arrest on social media, although he has spent the past few days promoting his vodka and disparaging Puff Daddy. ||||| BASSETERRE, St. Kitts and Nevis (AP) — Police in St. Kitts and Nevis say that U.S. rapper 50 Cent and a member of his entourage were detained and charged for allegedly using "indecent language" during his performance at a music festival.
Local police said in a statement Sunday that 50 Cent, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, and entourage member Bajar Walter have been released on bail. They have not been allowed to leave the Caribbean country pending a Monday morning court appearance.
Representatives for 50 Cent did not return messages Sunday.
Employees at the police press office said they didn't know what exact words were allegedly used at the St. Kitts Music Festival. |||||
A: | 50 Cent has managed to find a new brand of legal trouble, this one related to his pottymouth: It seems that Fiddy, real name Curtis Jackson, was performing Saturday at the St. Kitts Music Festival, when he dropped a "motherf---in'" as he performed "P.I.M.P." in front of some 40,000 fans, reports TMZ. That was sufficient to get him and a member of his entourage charged with using profanity in public, which, yes, is illegal on the Caribbean island, notes Rolling Stone. It's not the first time: Both sites note that DMZ got arrested for cursing in 2003; it set him back a $376 fine. Both Jackson and his aide are out on bail, notes the AP, but they have to stick around until Monday when the courts are open. |

The press was standing behind the children; he saw their phones and pagers start to ring. The President felt he should project strength and calm until he could better understand what was happening. The President remained in the classroom for another five to seven minutes, while the children continued reading. He then returned to a holding room shortly before 9:15, where he was briefed by staff and saw television coverage.

Problem: The Black Sea has a positive water balance; that is, a net outflow of water 300 km (72 cu mi) per year through the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles into the Aegean Sea. Mediterranean water flows into the Black Sea as part of a two-way hydrological exchange. The Black Sea outflow is cooler and less saline, and floats over the warm, more saline Mediterranean inflow -- as a result of differences in density caused by differences in salinity -- leading to a significant anoxic layer well below the surface waters. The Black Sea drains into the Mediterranean Sea, via the Aegean Sea and various straits, and is navigable to the Atlantic Ocean. The Bosphorus Strait connects it to the Sea of Marmara, and the Strait of the Dardanelles connects that sea to the Aegean Sea region of the Mediterranean. These waters separate Eastern Europe, the Caucasus and Western Asia. The Black Sea is also connected to the Sea of Azov by the Strait of Kerch.

Problem: what is the first event mentioned?, Context: The Russian Revolution is the series of revolutions in Russia in 1917, which destroyed the Tsarist autocracy and led to the creation of the Soviet Union. Following the abdication of Nicholas II of Russia, the Russian Provisional Government was established. In October 1917, a red faction revolution occurred in which the Red Guard, armed groups of workers and deserting soldiers directed by the Bolshevik Party, seized control of Saint Petersburg (then known as Petrograd) and began an immediate armed takeover of cities and villages throughout the former Russian Empire.

Problem: What was very common in Singapore?, Context: There are several theories to the Islamisation process in Southeast Asia. Another theory is trade. The expansion of trade among West Asia, India and Southeast Asia helped the spread of the religion as Muslim traders from Southern Yemen (Hadramout) brought Islam to the region with their large volume of trade. Many settled in Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia. This is evident in the Arab-Indonesian, Arab-Singaporean, and Arab-Malay populations who were at one time very prominent in each of their countries. The second theory is the role of missionaries or Sufis.[citation needed] The Sufi missionaries played a significant role in spreading the faith by introducing Islamic ideas to the region. Finally, the ruling classes embraced Islam and that further aided the permeation of the religion throughout the region. The ruler of the region's most important port, Malacca Sultanate, embraced Islam in the 15th century, heralding a period of accelerated conversion of Islam throughout the region as Islam provided a positive force among the ruling and trading classes.
Solution: | Arab-Singaporean |
