The cells of the adaptive immune system are lymphocytes \u2013 B cells and T cells. A key feature of the adaptive immune system is memory. Repeat infections by the same virus are met immediately with a strong and specific response that usually effectively stops the infection with less reliance on the innate system. When we say we are immune to infection with a virus, we are talking about immune memory. Vaccines protect us against infection because of immune memory. The first adaptive response against a virus \u2013 called the primary response \u2013 often takes days to mature. In contrast, a memory response develops within hours of infection. Memory is maintained by a subset of B and T lymphocytes called memory cells which survive for years in the body. Memory cells remain ready to respond rapidly and efficiently to a subsequent encounter with a pathogen. This so-called secondary response is often stronger than the primary response to infection. Consequently, childhood infections protect adults, and immunity conferred by vaccination can last for years.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210427070218/https://www.virology.ws/2009/07/03/adaptive-immune-defenses/", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210427070218/https://www.virology.ws/2009/07/03/adaptive-immune-defenses/" } ] }, { "question": "What does the National Geographic article say that specifically relates to the role of T cells for the SARS-CoV-2 virus?", "answers": [ { "answer": "The article references findings by Aleman, a researcher and physician at the Karolinska University in sweden.\nKiller T cells, which tell virus-infected human cells to destroy themselves to keep the virus from spreading - In a subset of those who tested positive for COVID-19, Aleman found T cells but no antibodies. Aleman says, one thing is becoming clear: antibodies might not be telling the whole story when it comes to COVID-19 immunity. \u201cWe shouldn\u2019t just look blindly at antibody tests.\" The article also states, Aleman and other virologists and immunologists when turning their attention to COVID-19, they began to study how immunity developed in people who had tested positive for SARS-CoV-2, as well as their close contacts, some of whom were presumably exposed to the virus, even if they didn\u2019t get sick. As expected, hospitalized individuals developed strong antibody and T cell responses to SARS-CoV-2. But two-thirds of the close contacts who were asymptomatic showed a subsequent T cell response, even though tests didn\u2019t detect any antibodies - Study results, released June 29 without peer review via the medical pre-print service medRxiv, didn\u2019t reveal whether these individuals never developed antibodies or whether they rapidly declined to undetectable levels. Regardless, the report immediately raised concerns about a vaccine, since stimulating antibody production is a key strategy by which immunizations protect against disease.\n\nThe article also cites recently reported work by immunologist Antonio Bertoletti from Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore - Patients infected with the original SARS virus still possessed memory T cells that responded to the virus\u2019 proteins 17 years later.

In late June, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Robert Redfield told reporters that as many as 90% of cases had been missed; that is, although there were 2.3 million confirmed cases in the U.S. then, some 20 million people had probably been infected. But that reasoning applies today, too: Despite months of government claims to the contrary, not everyone who wants, or should have, a test is getting one. Using data from Covid Tracking, STAT looked at the number of people tested and the number who tested positive for the disease (cases) in every state and Washington, D.C. We did that for three dates: in mid-May, mid-June, and mid-July. (Due to reporting anomalies, the dates selected sometimes differed by a day or two between states.)\n\nFor each date, we calculated the number of cases found per 1,000 tests \u2014 a measure of the disease\u2019s prevalence.

Treatment is time-consuming and expensive as it involves undergoing long-term therapy with chelating agents, which remove heavy metals from the body.\n\nTreatment also involves persuading people to adopt new practices and behaviours, something which requires an ongoing effort from authorities to continuously raise awareness and make sure the population follows preventive measures.\n\nAccording to WHO, children in seven villages in Zamfara state require chelation therapy. This is in addition to the residents of seven other villages who have already received treatment. In these villages the combined effects of removing children from lead exposure and providing chelation therapy caused the child mortality rate to drop from 43 per cent to 1 per cent in one year.\n\nSince the problem was discovered last year, $1.9 million has been provided by the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) to WHO and the UN Children\u2019s Fund (UNICEF), which have been used to provide treatment, train doctors, provide quick diagnoses, and raise awareness about the hazards of lead.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://news.un.org/en/story/2011/11/394792-lead-poisoning-continues-affect-many-nigeria-un", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230420145113/https://news.un.org/en/story/2011/11/394792-lead-poisoning-continues-affect-many-nigeria-un" } ] }, { "question": "Was there a 92% prevalence of blood lead poisoning in Zamfara due to gold mining?", "answers": [ { "answer": "No answer could be found.", "answer_type": "Unanswerable", "source_url": "", "source_medium": "" } ] }, { "question": "What was the reason behind high levels of child lead poisoning in Zamfara State Nigeria?", "answers": [ { "answer": "Gold rush triggers deadly lead poisoning in Nigeria", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/11/30/nigeria.gold.mining.lead.poisoning/index.html", "source_medium": "Audio", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230420145303/https://edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/africa/11/30/nigeria.gold.mining.lead.poisoning/index.html" }, { "answer": "The study eventually identified 131 villages of interest in the state through a chain-referral approach.

The ERIC system, as well as regular checks against DMV, death and other records, flag voter registration entries that may need updating. Federal law also requires states to conduct basic list maintenance.\n\nOnce voting begins, the linchpin of the process is a ballot return envelope, which typically requires the voter\u2019s signature and includes a unique bar code linked to that voter\u2019s record. When the ballot is returned and the bar code is scanned, no other ballot can be cast by that voter for that election.\n\nElection officials and security experts said certain measures are important for preventing fraud in mail voting, such as accurate voter rolls and a method of authenticating ballots such as signature matching. Such safeguards have been put in place over time in the five states that currently run universal mail elections: Colorado, Hawaii, Oregon, Utah and Washington.\n\nThe other mainstay of election security in vote-by-mail states is the signature verification process. Election workers are trained by law enforcement agencies to detect when a signature on the ballot envelope does not match signatures in a voter\u2019s file. Discrepancies trigger a review that could end with a voter proving his or her identity \u2014 or being reported to law enforcement for possible ballot tampering.\n\nAll-mail states have implemented a range of other safeguards to ensure ballots are secure at all times, including dropboxes under 24-hour surveillance cameras, rules that two people be present with any ballot from the moment of receipt or collection, and detailed logs and reconciliation rules that require votes to be accounted for, down to the ballot.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/minuscule-number-of-potentially-fraudulent-ballots-in-states-with-universal-mail-voting-undercuts-trump-claims-about-election-risks/2020/06/08/1e78aa26-a5c5-11ea-bb20-ebf0921f3bbd_story.html", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230329101419/https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/minuscule-number-of-potentially-fraudulent-ballots-in-states-with-universal-mail-voting-undercuts-trump-claims-about-election-risks/2020/06/08/1e78aa26-a5c5-11ea-bb20-ebf0921f3bbd_story.html" } ] } ], "cached_original_claim_url": null }, { "claim": "President Geingob of Namibia fined all those who attended the party he hosted to mark his political party Swapo\u2019s (South West Africa People\u2019s Organisation) 60th birthday during the coronavirus lockdown when gatherings were banned.", "required_reannotation": true, "label": "Refuted", "justification": "The president did not personally fine the people who attended the party so the claim is refuted.", "claim_date": "28-6-2020", "speaker": null, "original_claim_url": null, "fact_checking_article": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210302101346/https://namibiafactcheck.org.na/report/international-reports-mislead-about-swapos-lockdown-violation-fine/", "reporting_source": null, "location_ISO_code": null, "claim_types": [ "Event/Property Claim" ], "fact_checking_strategies": [ "Written Evidence" ], "questions": [ { "question": "Did President Geingob host a party to mark his political party\u2019s (SWAPO) 60th birthday during a coronavirus lockdown in Namibia?", "answers": [ { "answer": "Yes", "answer_type": "Boolean", "source_url": "https://nairobinews.nation.africa/namibian-president-fines-guests-who-breached-lockdown-to-attend-his-party/", "source_medium": "Web text", "boolean_explanation": "The South West Africa People\u2019s Organisation (SWAPO) birthday party took place in parliament on April 19, when Namibia was under lockdown and group gatherings were banned to limit the spread of coronavirus.", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230424181834/https://nairobinews.nation.africa/namibian-president-fines-guests-who-breached-lockdown-to-attend-his-party/" } ] }, { "question": "Have the people who attended the gathering to mark SWAPO\u2019s 60th birthday been fined?", "answers": [ { "answer": "Yes", "answer_type": "Boolean", "source_url": "https://nairobinews.nation.africa/namibian-president-fines-guests-who-breached-lockdown-to-attend-his-party/", "source_medium": "Web text", "boolean_explanation": "The president said that less than 10 people attended the event, including the Vice President, the Prime Minister and party\u2019s Secretary General.

In 2009 the CPS reviewed four sexual assault claims against Savile and felt there was insufficient evidence with which to proceed - again, because none of Savile's accusers were prepared to support police action. Frankly, the CPS makes a lot of decisions like this and it would be strange for the director himself to make the decision personally - that's the responsibility of the reviewing lawyer. We may well question that decision, but asking whether there was in fact sufficient evidence is one thing; to assume that such evidence would have resulted in a conviction is quite another. Have any of us seen the evidence the CPS was presented with? Have those spinning these accusations - or spreading them - actually spoken with any of those who brought the initial complaints against Savile? Starmer took over a CPS under fire on various fronts and, after 2011, especially on the Savile issue. While he had no personal involvement in the decision not to proceed, Starmer did commission a review, headed by Alison Levitt QC, in which he revealed failures at the heart of the CPS and in 2013 issued an apology. He acknowledged those failures, pledging to change the culture of the CPS and its internal mechanisms. A \"fundamental shift\" was required, he argued, as \"we cannot afford another Savile moment in five or ten years. While \"no improper motives\" were found, the Evening Standard reported that one of the review's major criticisms was that \"the CPS lawyer (my italics) should have challenged the police conclusions and sought to build a prosecution against Savile\". It also suggested the complainants should have been informed that there had been other complaints about Savile, as this would potentially have encouraged them to give evidence.

Munro Commonly known as \u201cblack bamboo\u201d, this is another major species in the genus Phyllostachys. Flavonoids extracted from black bamboo leaves have potent antioxidant activities (Hu et al., 2000; Zhang et al., 2002). Among these flavonoids, flavone c-glucosides and p-coumaric acid reportedly have long retention time in the colon and may contribute to free radical scavenging (Zhang et al., 2007). Luteolin 6-C-(6\u2033-O-trans-caffeoylglucoside), an antioxidant isolated from the leaves, has been reported to protect against oxidative stress-induced cytotoxicity in retinal ganglion cells (Lee et al., 2010). It also enhances the activity of aldose reductase and inhibits the formation of advanced glycation end products, and therefore may potentially have a role in the prevention of diabetic complications (Jung et al., 2007).\nOrientin, another antioxidant obtained from the leaves of black bamboo, exerts vaso-relaxant activity through the inhibition of intracellular Ca2+ release and extracellular Ca2+ influx (Fu et al., 2005). Orientin also prevents apoptosis induced by hypoxia and reoxygenation in myocardium and cardiomyocytes. The mechanism for this effect is inhibition of the activation of mitochondrial apoptotic pathway (Fu et al., 2006). These studies suggest potential for cardio-protective effects.\n\nThe acetone fraction of the leaves of Phyllostachys nigra (Lodd.) Munro has been shown to enhance leukemia cell differentiation (Kim et al., 2007b), and inhibit interleukin-12 (IL-12) production in lipopolysaccharide-activated macrophages via decreasing NF-kappaB binding activity (Kim et al., 2007a). These preliminary findings suggest potential anti-leukemia and anti-inflammation effects of the acetone extract.", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230516150056/https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4659479/" } ] }, { "question": "Can alternative medicines be used to effectively treat Covid-19?", "answers": [ { "answer": "No", "answer_type": "Boolean", "source_url": "https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters#supplements", "source_medium": "Web text", "boolean_explanation": "It's a myth", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230514212932/https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters" }, { "answer": "No", "answer_type": "Boolean", "source_url": "https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters#supplements", "source_medium": "Web text", "boolean_explanation": "there is no evidence to support the use of herbal supplements as a preventive measure/cure for COVID-19", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230514212932/https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/advice-for-public/myth-busters" } ] } ], "cached_original_claim_url": null }, { "claim": "China halted exports of face masks to US during the coronavirus pandemic", "required_reannotation": true, "label": "Refuted", "justification": "Q&A 1 and 2 show that china did not halt the export of protective masks at any time to the U.S or other countries. which contradicts the claim saying they did", "claim_date": "20-4-2020", "speaker": "Marco Rubio", "original_claim_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200515143423/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/20/opinion/marco-rubio-coronavirus-economy.html?referringSource=articleShare", "fact_checking_article": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210216150531/https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/apr/23/marco-rubio/did-china-halt-exports-face-masks-us/", "reporting_source": "New York Times", "location_ISO_code": "US", "claim_types": [ "Event/Property Claim" ], "fact_checking_strategies": [ "Written Evidence" ], "questions": [ { "question": "Did China stop exporting masks to other countries ?", "answers": [ { "answer": "China stopped exporting masks and imported 56 million masks in the first week of January;", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://www.oecd.org/coronavirus/policy-responses/covid-19-and-international-trade-issues-and-actions-494da2fa/", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230420085155/https://oecd.org/coronavirus/policy-responses/covid-19-and-international-trade-issues-and-actions-494da2fa/" } ] }, { "question": "Why did they stop exports?", "answers": [ { "answer": "China had a greater need.

Influenza A viruses were the predominant circulating viruses last year. While influenza A(H1N1pdm09) viruses predominated from October 2018 \u2013 mid February 2019, influenza A(H3N2) viruses were more commonly reported starting in late February 2019. Influenza B viruses were not commonly reported among circulating viruses during the 2018\u20132019 season. The season had moderate severity based on levels of outpatient influenza-like illness, hospitalizations rates, and proportions of pneumonia and influenza-associated deaths.\n\nCDC estimates that the burden of illness during the 2018\u20132019 season included an estimated 35.5 million people getting sick with influenza, 16.5 million people going to a health care provider for their illness, 490,600 hospitalizations, and 34,200 deaths from influenza (Table 1). The number of influenza-associated illnesses that occurred last season was similar to the estimated number of influenza-associated illnesses during the 2012\u20132013 influenza season when an estimated 34 million people had symptomatic influenza illness6.\n\nPeak activity during the 2018\u20132019 influenza season was classified as having moderate severity across ages in the population.

Make sure you can still breathe easily.\n\nHand washing: The most well-established way to prevent respiratory infections such as influenza and coronavirus is frequent and thorough hand washing with soap and water. Scrub your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds.\n\nHand sanitizer: Handwashing with soap and water is the best way to reduce germs, but if they are not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers that contain at least 60% alcohol can help to reduce the spread of infection. Note: avoid any products containing triclosan, a known hormone-disrupting chemical.\n\nCovering your mouth and nose: Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing; if your hands are not free or you don\u2019t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your sleeve, not your bare hands.\n\nNot touching your face: Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands, which can help provide the virus with a route of entry into the body. Since the average individual touches their face an average of 15 times per hour, remain vigilant!\n\nKeeping surfaces clean: Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces, especially when someone is ill. Surfaces to consider include doorknobs, phones, computer keyboards, remotes, and other surfaces that are frequently touched in rooms such as the bathroom and kitchen.\nLifestyle\n\nStress reduction: Chronic stress can negatively alter immune system responses, making you more likely to get sick. Identify your personal stress reduction strategies and practice them regularly.\n\nSleep: Sleep has a big influence on immune function, so it is es", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://www.ifm.org/news-insights/boosting-immunity-functional-medicine-tips-prevention-immunity-boosting-covid-19-coronavirus-outbreak/", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230414152057/https://www.ifm.org/news-insights/boosting-immunity-functional-medicine-tips-prevention-immunity-boosting-covid-19-coronavirus-outbreak/" } ] }, { "question": "How does burning candles eliminate corona", "answers": [ { "answer": "COVID-19 can be transmitted by people with the virus coughing or sneezing, releasing tiny contaminated droplets into the air, putting anyone within range in danger of inhaling them. These droplets can travel more than a metre from the infected person, allowing them to settle on any surfaces ready to be transferred to anyone that touches the surface.\n\nThe virus can live on some surfaces for several days. Data from the 2003 SARS outbreak, which was a similar illness to the latest coronavirus, showed the virus could contaminate plastered walls for up to a day and a half, plastic and stainless steel for 72 hours, and glass for 96 hours. So it\u2019s likely the mobile phone, tablet or computer screen you are reading this on could harbour COVID-19 for up to four days, and be transferred to anyone touching the screen.\n\nAdopting good hygiene is one of the most effective weapons to slow or prevent the virus spreading. Here are six things you can do to protect yourself and others.\n\n\n1. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth\n\nOur hands touch door handles, keyboards, taps and numerous other surfaces, so the virus could easily be picked up this way. Rubbing tired eyes or touching your nose or mouth could transfer the virus from your hands into your body.\n\n2. Wash your hands regularly\n\nClean your hands thoroughly and often, using plenty of soap and water or an alcohol-based hand rub to kill any virus on your hands. Scrub for at least 20 seconds, making sure you clean fingers, thumbs and palms.\n\n\n\n3. Practise respiratory hygiene\n\n\nIf you cough or sneeze, use a tissue and throw it in the trash afterwards. If you don\u2019t have a tissue, cough into the crook of your arm instead of using your hand. If possible, avoid coughing or sneezing near other people.\n\n4. Maintain social distancing\n\nBe aware of people around you and keep your distance from anyone coughing or sneezing. Stay at least 1 metre away to prevent inhaling the small liquid droplets sprayed by coughs and sneezes.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/coronavirus-covid-19-advice-health-virus-disease/", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230510154912/https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2020/03/coronavirus-covid-19-advice-health-virus-disease" } ] } ], "cached_original_claim_url": null }, { "claim": "The United States had done more testing for COVID-19 infections in eight days than South Korea had done in eight weeks", "required_reannotation": false, "label": "Refuted", "justification": "The answers and sources clearly show that the US did less testing in the eight days than Korea so the claim is refuted.", "claim_date": "3-4-2020", "speaker": "Donald Trump ", "original_claim_url": null, "fact_checking_article": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210712105330/https://www.factcheck.org/2020/03/trumps-faulty-testing-claims/", "reporting_source": "Twitter", "location_ISO_code": null, "claim_types": [ "Numerical Claim", "Event/Property Claim" ], "fact_checking_strategies": [ "Written Evidence", "Consultation" ], "questions": [ { "question": "How many Covid 19 tests had south Korea done by march 2020?", "answers": [ { "answer": "figures provided by South Korea\u2019s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, South Korea had conducted 348,582 tests as of March 24", "answer_type": "Abstractive", "source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210712105330/https://www.cdc.go.kr/board/board.es?mid=&bid=0030", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210712105330/https://www.cdc.go.kr/board/board.es?mid=&bid=0030" } ] }, { "question": "How many covid 19 tests had the U.S carried out by march 2020?", "answers": [ { "answer": "317,347 tests completed or pending in the U.S. over the eight-day period of March 17 to 24", "answer_type": "Abstractive", "source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210624163606/https://covidtracking.com/data/national", "source_medium": "Web table", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210624163606/https://covidtracking.com/data/national" } ] } ], "cached_original_claim_url": null }, { "claim": "A majority of 6,200 doctors said hydroxychloroquine is the most effective coronavirus treatment.", "required_reannotation": false, "label": "Refuted", "justification": "The answers show that only 27% agreed with this so the claim is refuted as that is not a majority.", "claim_date": "3-4-2020", "speaker": "Connor Boyd", "original_claim_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210616041150/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8184259/Malaria-drug-hydroxychloroquine-effective-coronavirus-treatment-currently-available.html", "fact_checking_article": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210616041150/https://fullfact.org/health/covid-19-hydroxychloroquine-chloroquine-treatment/", "reporting_source": "MailOnline", "location_ISO_code": "GB", "claim_types": [ "Numerical Claim", "Event/Property Claim" ], "fact_checking_strategies": [ "Written Evidence", "Numerical Comparison", "Consultation", "Fact-checker Reference" ], "questions": [ { "question": "Were the people in the claim real Doctors?", "answers": [ { "answer": "The\nsample represents physicians registered with Sermo, a secure digital (online) platform\ndesigned for anonymous survey research and physician networking.

Several videos have surfaced which shows the Delhi Police did apprehend the man after they were made aware that he was carrying a weapon. While analyzing the video, at the 14th second, it can be seen that the police sneak up behind him and catches hold of him. The Police are being warned that the man is carrying a pistol. The video clearly shows that the man was seized as soon as he fired a shot. Further, police are mandated to follow standard protocols when dealing with an active shooter. In the face of a man holding a weapon at a crowded place like a university, it becomes all the more necessary to follow these protocols precisely. This would ensure that the situation doesn't get out of hand, and the shooter does not get agitated. Police officers responding to an active shooter are trained in a procedure known as Rapid Deployment and are supposed to proceed immediately to the area in which shots were last heard; their purpose is to stop the shooting as quickly as possible. The first responding officers will normally be in teams of four (4); they may be dressed in regular patrol uniforms, or they may be wearing external bulletproof vests, Kevlar helmets, and other tactical equipment. The officers may be armed with rifles, shotguns, or handguns, and might also be using pepper spray or tear gas to control the situation.

In 1995, he cast his vote for a balanced budget constitutional amendment, despite his earlier criticisms of it.

Alan Simpson to co-chair the president\u2019s National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility, created in February 2010 via executive order.

Driver's licenses are frequently suspended for DUI offenses, since states have an interest in keeping dangerous drivers off the roads. Therefore, when a driver willfully drives with a suspended or revoked driver's license, they may be cited, arrested, and charged with a misdemeanor offense.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20201111182149/https://www.findlaw.com/traffic/traffic-tickets/driving-without-a-license.html", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20201111182149/https://www.findlaw.com/traffic/traffic-tickets/driving-without-a-license.html" } ] }, { "question": "Did the U.S. Supreme Court rule that Americans do not need a licence to drive automobiles on public roads?", "answers": [ { "answer": "No", "answer_type": "Boolean", "source_url": "https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text", "source_medium": "Other", "boolean_explanation": "No record exists of this.", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20230528220019/https://www.law.cornell.edu/supremecourt/text" } ] } ], "cached_original_claim_url": null }, { "claim": "Mayor Bloomberg helped lower the number of people without health insurance in New York, by 40 percent.", "required_reannotation": false, "label": "Supported", "justification": "Confirmed by answer stating 40% and also what was done to achieve this.", "claim_date": "1-1-2020", "speaker": "Michael Bloomberg", "original_claim_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210430074904/https://youtu.be/HXXZJ1lO5ig", "fact_checking_article": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210430074625/https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2020/jan/28/michael-bloomberg/bloomberg-highlights-his-efforts-connect-new-yorke/", "reporting_source": "Television Advert", "location_ISO_code": "US", "claim_types": [ "Numerical Claim", "Event/Property Claim" ], "fact_checking_strategies": [ "Written Evidence", "Numerical Comparison", "Consultation" ], "questions": [ { "question": "What measures were taken by mayor Bloomberg to connect New Yorkers to insurance", "answers": [ { "answer": "Mayor Bloomberg Signed Legislation Requiring Distribution Of Health Insurance Program Pamphlets At Day Care Centers", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200213162320/https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/059-08/mayor-bloomberg-signs-legislation-requiring-distribution-health-insurance-program-pamphlets-at", "source_medium": "Web text", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20200213162320/https://www1.nyc.gov/office-of-the-mayor/news/059-08/mayor-bloomberg-signs-legislation-requiring-distribution-health-insurance-program-pamphlets-at" }, { "answer": "He helped create awareness for the on-line prescreening tool that was introduced by the city", "answer_type": "Abstractive", "source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20211020002847/http://onlineresources.wnylc.net/nychra/docs/_07-115-sys.pdf", "source_medium": "PDF", "cached_source_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20211020002847/http://onlineresources.wnylc.net/nychra/docs/_07-115-sys.pdf" } ] }, { "question": "By what percentage was the number of New Yorkers without insurance reduced during Mayor Bloomberg's time in office between 2002 and 2013", "answers": [ { "answer": "The approximate value is 40%", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "Metadata", "source_medium": "Metadata", "cached_source_url": "Metadata" } ] } ], "cached_original_claim_url": "https://web.archive.org/web/20210430074904/https://youtu.be/HXXZJ1lO5ig" }, { "claim": "NASA had 58% Indian employees", "required_reannotation": false, "label": "Refuted", "justification": "Seems that the claims math is way off.

As far as individual players' incomes, they can vary markedly based on sponsorships and star power. Goalie Ashlyn Harris told The New York Times that she expects to make \u201cbetween $300,000 and $400,000\u201d this year, and another player estimated $167,500. Alex Morgan is estimated to earn $1 million annually. But for players without endorsement deals and less celebrity status, the numbers can be a lot lower.Prior to the U.S. team's most recent landslide victory, Democratic presidential candidates Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris, and Elizabeth Warren have long taken up the cause of equal pay in sports. The Paycheck Fairness Act, passed by House Democrats, would protect against gender discrimination, though it is currently stalled in the Senate.

Both figures are double what the women's World Cup paid out to teams during the 2015 tournament in Canada. But let's compare those figures with the men's World Cup: In 2018, World Cup champion France was awarded $38 million by FIFA for winning the tournament, which is more than what all of the 2019 women's World Cup teams get combined. The prize money overall for the men's 2018 World Cup in Russia came to a total of $400 million, or over 13 times more than the FIFA prize money for the women this summer. What's more, members of the USA women's team earned bonuses of $90,000 for reaching the quarterfinals in the 2019 World Cup. If the U.S. men's team had reached the same point in last year's World Cup, they would have gotten bonuses of $550,000. This is the case even though the U.S. women's team outearns the men's team in revenues. The main argument for why the men's World Cup prize money totals are so much bigger than the women's counterpart is that men's soccer has far more interest among fans \u2014 and far higher revenues overall around the globe. The women's World Cup 2015 in Canada reportedly brought in $73 million in revenues, including some $17 million in TV ads just in the U.S. Those are actually tiny numbers compared to the $6 billion in revenues FIFA raked in during the 2018 men's World Cup in Russia.", "answer_type": "Extractive", "source_url": "https://money.com/world-cup-2019-womens-soccer-salary-prize-money/", "source_medium": "Web text" } ] }, { "question": "How Much Money U.S. Women's National Team Players Make ?", "answers": [ { "answer": "The U.S. women's national team fought for a raise, and got one in 2017, when players began receiving an undisclosed pay increase. Before then, members of the U.S. national team were paid \"a maximum of $4,950 per 'friendly,' or non-tournament, game that they won, while men\u2019s national-team players earned an average of $13,166 for the same thing,\" according to The Atlantic. Yet even after the pay raise, America's female national team still makes significantly less than their male equivalents. This is the case even though the women have won three World Cups and four Olympic gold medals over the past two decades, compared to zero and zero for the U.S. men's team. Earlier this year, the U.S. women's team filed a lawsuit against U.S. Soccer, seeking better pay for women, who reportedly earn 38% of what their male counterparts make. Among other arguments U.S. Soccer attorneys have made to explain the gender pay differences are that the men's and women's national teams \"have separate collective bargaining agreements; and have separate budgets that take into account the different revenue that the teams generate.\" While U.S. Soccer fights the women's national team lawsuit, sponsors have stepped up in the battle over equal pay. In early April, USWNT sponsor LUNA Bar made a donation that will give each member of the women's team $31,250 \u2014 which is the difference between the World Cup bonuses for America's men's and women's teams. Meanwhile, U.S. Soccer sponsor Visa says that under the terms of a new five-year deal more than 50% of its funding will go to the women's team, rather than a 50-50 split between men and women like in the past. And soccer branding titan Adidas says that it will pay equal bonuses to all of its sponsored players, male and female alike, for winning the World Cup.

Why would Chechens target Georgia, a state which was at worst neutral in their dispute with Russia\u2014and perhaps covertly a supporter, as Moscow alleged?

The trick was to have the ink flow when you wanted it to, and not to flow the rest of the time, a problem Fisher solved. Fisher's development couldn't have come at a more opportune time. The space race was on, and the astronauts involved in the Mercury and Gemini missions had been using pencils to take notes in space since standard ball points did not work in zero gravity.

The new barrier replaced existing metal posts which were designed only to block vehicles. \nIn September, the Border Patrol announced construction of \"a new 4-mile section of bollard wall\" in the historic Chihuahuita neighborhood in El Paso.

The reason? A fake survey claiming that the Bharatiya Janata Party would win 135 seats in the forthcoming Karnataka elections has been doing the rounds on WhatsApp\u2014with a BBC link provided for legitimacy. The link, of course, merely leads to BBC\u2019s India home page. This is the latest in a long string of fake news that has plagued the build-up to the elections.\n\nElectoral dirty tricks and propaganda have always been a part of politics. Stalin infamously urged writers to become \u201cengineers of human souls\". What is new is the ease and scale with which technology can compromise our political process. The role social media, with its dopamine highs, played in Brexit and the 2016 US presidential election are the standout examples, but it goes beyond that. The US military has been experimenting with \u201ccomputational propaganda\" in Cuba and the Middle East. The Russians are developing software for information warfare. Then there are drug cartels in Mexico suppressing Twitter debates. Regimes are busy building digital dictatorships\u2014from China\u2019s Citizen Score initiative to Singapore\u2019s \u201cdata controlled society\".\n\nThis is the evolution of espionage 2.0 with the entire electoral process at risk. Election machinery could be attacked. Data could be stolen, information leaked and systems brought to a standstill. There could be hacks into databases, and cyber attacks on election war rooms and critical Election Commission (EC) infrastructure. This is not fearmongering. To give just two examples, Andr\u00e9s Sep\u00falveda is currently serving a prison term in Colombia for manipulating Latin American elections over the past decade.

Prior to 1917 there was no universal Law but it was customary in most places for women to wear some sort of head covering. The 1983 Code of Canon Law made no mention of this requirement and by the 1980s most women, at least here in America, had ceased to wear veils or hats anyway. Currently there is no binding rule and the custom in most places is no head covering at all.\n\nScripture \u2013 In Biblical Times women generally wore veils in any public setting and this would include the Synagogue.

Too often I find that the statements made by biblical expositors on this subject are inaccurate and simplistic. The more research I have done on the subject, the more I have come to see how problematic is the widely-accepted interpretation of 1 Corinthians 11:2-16 which asserts that Paul is merely urging the saints in Corinth to conform to local and secular customs. In my opinion this idea raises more problems than it solves.\n\nI conclude that Paul's explanations pertain to an established Christian custom, which may or may not have corresponded to any Jewish, Greek, or Roman custom of the time. Most \"cultural background\" treatments of this subject have failed to recognize the importance of the fact that in the first century the Church was itself a sub-culture, having its own traditions and customs.\n\nThis survey was prepared as a supporting document for my exegetical commentary on 1 Corinthians 11:2-16, to which I refer the reader for more specific comments on Paul's explanation of the early Christian custom.n ancient times men did not wear trousers, and women did not wear skirts. There were no shirts or blouses such as we wear today, either. Both sexes usually wore flowing garments comparable to the modern woman's dress. (1) In the Greek language the basic article of clothing was called the chiton (\u03c7\u03b9\u03c4\u1f7d\u03bd), and in the Latin language it was called the tunica. (2) In general, women wore a long chiton that reached all the way to the ankles.

A glass of water will help do the trick, especially after exercise.\n Be careful with caffeine \u2013 anyone feeling tired should cut out caffeine. The best way to do this is to gradually stop having all caffeine drinks (that includes coffee, tea and cola drinks) over a three-week period. Try to stay off caffeine completely for a month to see if you feel less tired without it.\n Eat breakfast \u2013 food boosts your metabolism and gives the body energy to burn. The brain relies on glucose for fuel, so choose carbohydrate-rich breakfast foods such as cereals or wholegrain bread.\n Don\u2019t skip meals \u2013 going without food for too long allows blood sugar levels to dip. Try to eat regularly to maintain your energy levels throughout the day.\n Eat a healthy diet \u2013 increase the amount of fruit, vegetables, wholegrain foods, low fat dairy products and lean meats in your diet.
