Read this: The brain generally forms a ring round the pharynx (throat), consisting of a pair of ganglia (local control centers) above and in front of the pharynx, linked by nerve cords either side of the pharynx to another pair of ganglia just below and behind it. The brains of polychaetes are generally in the prostomium, while those of clitellates are in the peristomium or sometimes the first segment behind the peristomium. In some very mobile and active polychaetes the brain is enlarged and more complex, with visible hindbrain, midbrain and forebrain sections. The rest of the central nervous system is generally "ladder-like", consisting of a pair of nerve cords that run through the bottom part of the body and have in each segment paired ganglia linked by a transverse connection. From each segmental ganglion a branching system of local nerves runs into the body wall and then encircles the body. However, in most polychaetes the two main nerve cords are fused, and in the tube-dwelling genus Owenia the single nerve chord has no ganglia and is located in the epidermis.
Now answer this question, if there is an answer (If it cannot be answered, return "unanswerable"): Where are clitellates' brains? | in the peristomium or sometimes the first segment behind the peristomium |

Summarize this article:
The most successful athletes are defined by their ability to accommodate for a wide range of techniques. In a competitive environment, you can't depend on the other team to use one kind of shot. If you feel like you've mastered certain blocks but other players are still getting shots past you, it is likely you haven't taken all possible shots into account yet. Here are some common shots to look out for: A jump shot is the most common shot. To gain height, offensive players will jump in the air and throw the ball towards the net. A slam dunk is the most efficient shot in basketball. This is where an offensive player runs directly up the court, jumps up, and delivers it directly into the net. A fadeaway is an advanced shot where the offensive player will lean away from the net as he throws it in. This is done to avert the efforts of blocking players. It can be resisted by putting your arms in the predicted path of the basketball. A faked shot is where an offensive player lines up a shot but doesn't actually throw the ball. This is done for psychological reasons of tricking up the opposing team. Slam dunks are considered very risky shots, as it's difficult to get a proper block without incurring a foul call. If you do attempt to block a slam dunk, get in between the net and the other player and jump directly up, aiming your hand in the path of the ball. A fadeaway shot is where a shooting player will hop backwards as he throws the ball towards the hoop. This tactic is specifically geared to trick up a blocking player. To maximize your chances of blocking a fadeaway, jump up between the ball and the net and extend your hands towards the ball. Don't swing your arms unnecessarily around as you're blocking. This will incur a foul call. A significant part of blocking shots in basketball involves the proper use of jumping. Jumping is a muscle-based exercise, but it's not often seen as a primary workout focus for many players. Practice doing sets of vertical jumps, attempting to get as much force off the ground as you can. Next, add on to this exercise by holding barbells in each hand and jumping with them. This will increase the pressure on your legs, making them better-suited for jumping blocks when you play competitively. | Practice a versatile range of shots. Jump up to fend a slam dunk. Accommodate to block a fadeaway shot. Focus on your jumping. |

Coming off their home upset over the Colts, the Chargers flew to Jacksonville Municipal Stadium for a Week 11 intraconference duel with the Jacksonville Jaguars. In the first quarter, San Diego trailed early as Jaguars kicker Josh Scobee managed to get a 48-yard field goal, along with RB Maurice Jones-Drew getting a 1-yard TD run. In the second quarter, the Chargers got on the board with kicker Nate Kaeding getting a 23-yard field goal. However, Jacksonville responded with QB David Garrard completing a 36-yard TD pass to WR Reggie Williams. In the third quarter, San Diego responded with RB LaDainian Tomlinson getting a 6-yard TD run, yet the Jaguars answered with Garrard completing a 1-yard TD pass to TE Marcedes Lewis. In the fourth quarter, the Chargers tried to make a comeback as QB Philip Rivers completed a 24-yard TD pass to TE Antonio Gates. But it was too-little too-late, as Jacksonville's defense held on to win.

The Agencies Confer When they learned a second plane had struck the World Trade Center, nearly everyone in the White House told us, they immediately knew it was not an accident. The Secret Service initiated a number of security enhancements around the White House complex. The officials who issued these orders did not know that there were additional hijacked aircraft, or that one such aircraft was en route to Washington. These measures were precautionary steps taken because of the strikes in New York. The FAA and White House Teleconferences. The FAA, the White House, and the Defense Department each initiated a multiagency teleconference before 9:30. Because none of these teleconferences-at least before 10:00- included the right officials from both the FAA and Defense Department, none succeeded in meaningfully coordinating the military and FAA response to the hijackings. At about 9:20, security personnel at FAA headquarters set up a hijacking teleconference with several agencies, including the Defense Department. The NMCC officer who participated told us that the call was monitored only periodically because the information was sporadic, it was of little value, and there were other important tasks. The FAA manager of the teleconference also remembered that the military participated only briefly before the Pentagon was hit. Both individuals agreed that the teleconference played no role in coordinating a response to the attacks of 9/11. Acting Deputy Administrator Belger was frustrated to learn later in the morning that the military had not been on the call. At the White House, the video teleconference was conducted from the Situation Room by Richard Clarke, a special assistant to the president long involved in counterterrorism. Logs indicate that it began at 9:25 and included the CIA; the FBI; the departments of State, Justice, and Defense; the FAA; and the White House shelter. The FAA and CIA joined at 9:40. The first topic addressed in the White House video teleconference-at about 9:40-was the physical security of the President, the White House, and federal agencies. Immediately thereafter it was reported that a plane had hit the Pentagon. We found no evidence that video teleconference participants had any prior information that American 77 had been hijacked and was heading directly toward Washington.
Based on the paragraph, does the response "10:00am" correctly answer the question "When did the video teleconference in the situation room begin?"?

Cardi B Insists Offset Crashing Rolling Loud Concert Was NOT Staged
Exclusive Details
Offset poured his heart out over the weekend, begging Cardi B in the middle of her Rolling Loud concert to take him back, but there's something that surfaced in a video that makes it look like the whole thing was staged, but Cardi is calling BS.
As TMZ reported, Offset appeared onstage -- seemingly out of nowhere -- with a cart of roses that spelled out the words, "Take Me Back Cardi."
Here is backstage footage of Cardi B’s publicist Patience Foster leading Offset to the stage. Like I said, this whole "break up" is an orchestrated publicity stunt. So these media outlets can stop using this fake scenario to push their anti-Black "toxic masculinity" narrative pic.twitter.com/z8KLPs3eZl — Tariq Nasheed (@tariqnasheed) December 16, 2018
Seems sincere enough ... that is, until you watch this video of Offset making his way to the stage. Look closely at the woman with the red hair. Her name is Patientce, and she's Cardi's P.R. rep.
The question ... if this were a love ambush, why is Patientce leading the way for Offset?
As improbable as it seems, Cardi insists this was not a WWE-type moment. Sources connected to Cardi say Patientce is way more than a public relations manager -- she's family, to both her and Offset.
Sources close to both Patientce and Cardi tell TMZ, Patientce strongly believes Cardi is still in love with Offset and does not want to pull the plug on their marriage. She is close to Cardi and Offset, she was sort of a Henry Kissinger (Google it) and brought him onstage to open the door to a reconciliation.
We're told Cardi really didn't know Offset was coming onstage and she was clearly very upset, but it was Patientce's way of trying to make things right.
Cardi is not pissed off at Patientce ... quite the opposite. She says, "Fan or not, you talk about my publicist/friend you can eat a d*** PERIOD." ||||| Breaking News Emails Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.

Cardi B, who recently split from Offset, appeared annoyed when he interrupted her show in Los Angeles in a bid to win her back — but that doesn't mean the "Bodak Yellow" rapper is OK with fans attacking him online.
In a video posted to Cardi's Instagram on Sunday, she thanked fans for their love and support before telling them to stop lashing out at Offset on social media.
"Violating my baby father is not gonna make me feel better 'cause at the end of the day, that's still family," Cardi said.
CARDI B MADE OFFSET LOOK LIKE A FOOL LMAO pic.twitter.com/v4JPYLHVKU — emily nunez (@nunezemilyy) December 16, 2018
"Unfortunately, we going through things and it's not private," she added. "I just want things to die-down."
Fans started lashing out at the Migos rapper after he crashed his wife's set at Rolling Loud on Saturday night. As a large bouquet of flowers with the words "TAKE ME BACK CARDI" was brought out on stage, Offset walked over to Cardi and begged her to forgive him.
"I just want to tell you I'm sorry, bruh," he told her. "In person. In front of the world."
The crowd couldn't hear Cardi's response, but judging from the look on her face the 26-year-old rapper didn't seem amused by the gesture. Her fans also seemed bothered by the stunt, and took to social media to unleash their wrath on Offset.

What Offset is doing to Cardi is abusive. I don’t think it’s cute at all. Stop glorifying toxic men. — 🤶🏼 (@CrudKilla) December 17, 2018

I wish a MF, who already publicly played the hell out of me, would... — Danni Starr (@iamdannistarr) December 16, 2018
In a second Instagram video, Cardi told fans that she doesn't know if she will get back together with Offset, but again asked her fans to respect what she’s going through.
"I just don't like that bashing online thing," she said, reminding fans that earlier Saturday Pete Davidson posted an alarming message saying he "didn't want to be on this Earth" after he previously opened up about being bullied online.
"I wouldn't want my baby father to have that feeling," she continued. "I know how painful it is when you have millions of people bashing you every single day. I don't like that and it doesn't make me feel any better."
Cardi announced her split from Offset earlier this month and said they "grew out of love." The couple secretly married in September 2017 and welcomed their daughter, Kulture, in July.
In a tweet, Offset defended crashing his wife's set, writing: "All of my wrongs have been made public, i (sic) figure It’s only right that my apologies are made public too." ||||| But if you thought that would be the end of the drama, then you were sadly mistaken. A spanner was thrown in the works when the festival Cardi had been performing at made a statement saying that headliners and their teams had COMPLETE control over the stage and who was allowed on it. ||||| The Atlanta rapper crashed Cardi B's performance at the Rolling Loud Festival in Los Angeles Saturday night to very publicly ask his estranged wife to take him back.
He came onstage with a bouquet of flowers in hand and a cake reading, "TAKE ME BACK CARDI."
"I just want to tell you I'm sorry, bruh," Offset told her. "In person. In front of the world."
Judging from her reaction onstage, Cardi was not amused.
Manuel Frayre was at the festival and posted a video of the incident. He said Offset's entrance took the crowd by surprise.
"You could see that she had no idea and she was very bothered but [sic] the public display," Frayre told CNN in a Twitter message. "But as soon as they cleared the stage she came back stronger and delivered a fantastic performance. She handled everything very gracefully."
Cardi and Offset were married last year and have a daughter, Kulture, born in July.
Earlier this month, the Bronx rapper announced on Instagram that she and Offset had split. The news came amid rumors that he had been cheating on her
Since then, Offset has been vocal in trying to get Cardi B back. He made a ... er, colorful all-caps proclamation on Twitter last week about how he missed his wife.
Some of her fans are not having it either.
"Don't take him back!" one person yelled in a video posted on social media. "Once a cheater, always a cheater!"
Others are criticizing Offset for interrupting Cardi while she was working and turning the spotlight on him.
Offset disrupting Cardi's performance is like your ex running up on. you at your job in the middle of a meeting. This is not acceptable or cute. Or romantic. It's creepy and unstable. — Demetria L. Lucas (@demetriallucas) December 16, 2018
This is getting out of hand. He's interrupting her work now https://t.co/YMV1ncYvM9 — Ivie Ani (@ivieani) December 16, 2018
And others are calling the whole thing a stunt.
Cardi posted two Instagram videos late Saturday night asking her fans to stop attacking Offset.
"Violating my baby father is not gonna make me feel any better, because at the end of the day that's still family. Unfortunately we're going through things, and it's not private, it became public. I just want things to die down. I just need time so we can see eye to eye. I can't predict the future, I don't know, but the whole coming at my baby father bull**** -- that doesn't make me feel any better," she said in the first video.
In a second video, Cardi B addressed fans who said she was defending him.
"I see a lot of people bashing me because they feeling because I'm defending my baby father, they're thinking that I'm gonna get back together with him. I'm not saying I'm gonna get back together with him," she said.
Cardi also referenced Pete Davidson, the "Saturday Night Live" comedian who made a troubling Instagram post on Saturday in which he said, "I really don't want to be on this earth anymore."
"I wouldn't want my baby father to have that feeling because millions of people be bashing him every day. That's a nasty feeling. I wouldn't want that," she said.
Cardi B is the first woman to headline the Rolling Loud Festival, which started in 2015. |||||Summary: | – Cardi B didn't appear to be pleased when her estranged husband crashed her performance in LA Saturday night (sample headline: "Offset interrupted Cardi B on stage and she was not having it"). But she's also not pleased with how fans are reacting to the moment, in which Migos rapper Offset presented her with flowers reading "TAKE ME BACK CARDI." In a video posted to Instagram Sunday, the rapper thanked fans for their support but asked them to back off on the vitriol directed at her ex, noting that "violating my baby father is not gonna make me feel any better 'cuz at the end of the day that's still family." In a follow-up video, she clarified this doesn't mean she Offset are getting back together, but "I just don't like that bashing online thing." During Cardi's headlining set at the Rolling Loud festival, Offset told her he wanted to apologize to her "in front of the world," NBC News reports. (There have long been rumors of Offset cheating; in a tweet, he noted, "All of my wrongs have been made public, i figure It’s only right that my apologies are made public too.") Whatever she said to him in response, the audience couldn't hear, but it appeared she wasn't going for it, BuzzFeed reports. After the stunt, Rolling Loud said "headliners and their teams have full control of the stage and who is allowed on," and a video emerged showing Cardi's own publicist leading Offset on stage. Fans then started bashing her for allowing Offset's stunt, leading Cardi to issue a similar defense of her publicist. Sources tell TMZ Cardi herself did not know Offset would be coming onstage.

In the general election, Kerry was initially favored to defeat the Republican candidate, former State Representative Paul W. Cronin, and conservative Democrat Roger P. Durkin, who ran as an Independent. A week after the primary, one poll put Kerry 26-points ahead of Cronin. His campaign called for a national health insurance system, discounted prescription drugs for the unemployed, a jobs programme to clean up the Merrimack River and rent controls in Lowell and Lawrence. A major obstacle, however, was the district's leading newspaper, the conservative The Sun. The paper editorialized against him. It also ran critical news stories about his out-of-state contributions and his "carpetbagging", because he had only moved into the district in April. Subsequently released "Watergate" Oval Office tape recordings of the Nixon White House showed that defeating Kerry's candidacy had attracted the personal attention of President Nixon. Kerry himself asserts that Nixon sent operatives to Lowell to help derail his campaign.
Is there an answer to this question (If it cannot be answered, say "unanswerable"): Who did Kerry say tried to stop his campaign? | President Nixon |

News article:
Last night, the Red Hot Chili Peppers — who, if the rumors are to be believed, were added to the Super Bowl halftime lineup to lend some rock warhorse credibility to a show headlined by pop neophyte Bruno Mars — pretended to play their instruments.
At least that’s the case with the band’s bassist, Flea. “That guitar is plugged into NOTHING,” tweeted Vernon Reid, moments after the Chili Peppers took the stage to play their heaving funk-rock hit “Give It Away.” Reid, who knows something about guitars, had noticed the conspicuous absence of a cable connecting to the input jack of Flea’s bass guitar to an amplifying device: no cable running to a speaker, no cable plugged into a wireless pack, no nothin’. Flea is a great musician, but the trick of making an unamplified bass audible over the roar of tens of thousands in a cavernous football stadium —that’s a feat beyond the powers even of a man steeped in the dark arts of sex majik. Forensic photographic analysis on Twitter confirmed Reid’s point, and suspicion was further aroused by the absurd conniption fit histrionics of Chili Peppers’ guitarist Josh Klinghoffer during his solo.
Personally, I couldn’t care less if the Peppers were air-shredding. (If pumping in pretaped music spares a television audience of millions the torment of a live Anthony Kiedis vocal, I call it a mitzvah.) It is worth asking, though: Where’s the outrage? ’m still waiting for the boors who line up to pillage pop singers for actual and imaginary lip-synching — and for, um, moral “transgressions” — to demand accountability from the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
As for Bruno Mars: He apparently sang live, and his (pretty silly) drum solo entrance seemed designed to hammer home the point that he can really play instruments. ||||| As our regular readers might recall, Pop & Hiss didn't especially enjoy Red Hot Chili Peppers' appearance Sunday night during the otherwise-delightful Super Bowl halftime show by Bruno Mars.
Did our distaste for the band's rendition of "Give It Away" have anything to do with the fact that Flea appeared to be playing a bass that wasn't plugged in, as a number of keen-eyed observers pointed out following the performance? It did not.
Before it's a concert, the Super Bowl halftime show is -- like the football game that surrounds it -- a full-tilt TV spectacle, one far more dependent on energy and charisma and visual style than on whether actual instruments are being actually played before our eyes and ears.
GRAPHIC: Best Super Bowl ads
A great live vocal performance, such as the one Mars gave at the end of his gig in "Just the Way You Are," is nothing to be dismissed, especially if the singer is also busy providing energy and charisma and visual style. But it's not crucial to a halftime's success.
And yet!
Enough people have made noise about the Chili Peppers' miming -- though not nearly so many, we'll point out, as scrutinized Beyoncé's Super Bowl performance in the wake of her lip-synching "scandal" at President Obama's second inaugaration last year -- that Flea was moved Tuesday to weigh in on the matter with a statement on the band's website.
The takeaway? The Chili Peppers (or three-fourths of them) weren't playing their instruments at the Super Bowl.
GRAPHIC: Super Bowl history: A timeline of the NFL’s championship game
But Flea has his reasons for doing so, and they're ones that strike us as pretty reasonable. In fact, he writes, "I would do it all the same way again."
Read on below for Flea's full statement:
The Red Hot Chili Peppers stance on any sort of miming has been that we will absolutely not do it. The last time we did it (or tried to) was in the late 80's, we were thrown off of 'The Top Of the Pops' television program in the U.K. during rehearsals because we refused to mime properly, I played bass with my shoe, John played guitar atop Anthony's shoulders, and we basically had a wrestling match onstage, making a mockery of the idea that it was a real live performance.
We mimed on one or two weird MTV shows before that and it always was a drag. We take our music playing seriously, it is a sacred thing for us, and anyone who has ever seen us in concert (like the night before the Super Bowl at the Barclays Center), knows that we play from our heart, we improvise spontaneously, take musical risks, and sweat blood at every show. We have been on the road for 31 years doing it.
So, when this Super Bowl gig concept came up, there was a lot of confusion amongst us as whether or not we should do it, but we eventually decided, it was a surreal-like, once in a life time crazy thing to do and we would just have fun and do it. We had given this a lot of thought before agreeing to do it, and besides many a long conversation amongst ourselves, I spoke with many musician friends for whom I have the utmost respect, and they all said they would do it if asked, that it was a wild trippy thing to do, what the hell. Plus, we the RHCP all love football too and that played a big part in our decision. We decided that, with Anthony singing live, that we could still bring the spirit and freedom of what we do into the performance, and of course we played every note in the recording specially for the gig. I met and spoke with Bruno, who was a beautiful dude, a real talented musician, and we worked out something that seemed like it would be fun.
PHOTOS: Super Bowl halftime performers
We recorded a track for the day, just banged one out from our hearts that was very like in spirit to the versions we have been playing live the last few years with our beloved Josh on guitar.
For the actual performance, Josh, Chad, and I were playing along with the pre recorded track so there was no need to plug in our guitars, so we did not. Could we have plugged them in and avoided bumming people out who have expressed disappointment that the instrumental track was pre recorded? Of course easily we could have and this would be a non-issue. We thought it better to not pretend. It seemed like the realest thing to do in the circumstance. It was like making a music video in front of a gazillion people, except with live vocals, and only one chance to rock it. Our only thought was to bring the spirit of who we are to the people.
I am grateful to the NFL for having us. And I am grateful to Bruno, who is a super talented young man for inviting us to be a part of his gig. I would do it all the same way again.
We, as a band, aspire to grow as musicians and songwriters, and to continue to play our guts out live onstage for anyone who wants to get their brains blown out.
Sincerely,
Flea

What is a shorter version of the above article? | – The Red Hot Chili Peppers weren't playing their instruments when they joined Bruno Mars for a Super Bowl halftime show watched by a record 115 million people, bassist Flea confirmed after photos surfaced on Vulture of him onstage with an unplugged guitar. In an open letter, he explains that the band has always been firmly against miming, but the NFL made it clear that the "vocals would be live, but the bass, drums and guitar would be pre-recorded"—and there was no room for negotiation, the Los Angeles Times reports. "I understand the NFL's stance on this, given they only have a few minutes to set up the stage, there a zillion things that could go wrong and ruin the sound for the folks watching in the stadium and the TV viewers," Flea writes. The band gave it a lot of thought and "eventually decided, it was a surreal-like, once in a lifetime crazy thing to do and we would just have fun and do it," he writes, promising that in future, the band will "continue to play our guts out live onstage for anyone who wants to get their brains blown out." |

Which entity is this text about?
Erik Weisz was born in Budapest to a Jewish family. His parents were Rabbi Mayer Samuel Weisz (1829-1892) and Cecilia Steiner (1841-1913). Houdini was one of seven children: Herman M. (1863-1885) who was Houdini's half-brother, by Rabbi Weisz's first marriage; Nathan J. (1870-1927); Gottfried William (1872-1925); Theodore (1876-1945); Leopold D. (1879-1962); and Carrie Gladys (1882-1959), who was left almost blind after a childhood accident. Weisz arrived in the United States on July 3, 1878, on the SS Fresia with his mother (who was pregnant) and his four brothers.
In 1904, the London Daily Mirror newspaper challenged Houdini to escape from special handcuffs that it claimed had taken Nathaniel Hart, a locksmith from Birmingham, five years to make. Houdini accepted the challenge for March 17 during a matinee performance at London's Hippodrome theater. It was reported that 4000 people and more than 100 journalists turned out for the much-hyped event. The escape attempt dragged on for over an hour, during which Houdini emerged from his "ghost house" (a small screen used to conceal the method of his escape) several times. On one occasion he asked if the cuffs could be removed so he could take off his coat. The Mirror representative, Frank Parker, refused, saying Houdini could gain an advantage if he saw how the cuffs were unlocked. Houdini promptly took out a pen-knife and, holding the knife in his teeth, used it to cut his coat from his body. Some 56 minutes later, Houdini's wife appeared on stage and gave him a kiss. Many thought that in her mouth was the key to unlock the special handcuffs. However, it has since been suggested that Bess did not in fact enter the stage at all, and that this theory is unlikely due to the size of the 6-inch key Houdini then went back behind the curtain. After an hour and ten minutes, Houdini emerged free. As he was paraded on the shoulders of the cheering crowd, he broke down and wept. Houdini later said it was the most difficult escape of his career. After Houdini's death, his friend Martin Beck was quoted in Will Goldston's book, Sensational Tales of Mystery Men, as admitting that Houdini was bested that day and had appealed to his wife, Bess, for help. Goldston goes on to claim that Bess begged the key from the Mirror representative, then slipped it to Houdini in a glass of water. It was stated in the book The Secret Life of Houdini that the key required to open the specially designed Mirror handcuffs was 6 inches long, and could not have been smuggled to Houdini in a glass of water. Goldston offered no proof of his account, and many modern biographers have found evidence (notably in the custom design of the handcuffs) that the Mirror challenge may have been arranged by Houdini and that his long struggle to escape was pure showmanship. This escape was discussed in depth on the Travel Channel's Mysteries at the Museum in an interview with Houdini expert, magician and escape artist Dorothy Dietrich of Scranton's Houdini Museum. A full-sized design of the same Mirror Handcuffs, as well as a replica of the Bramah style key for it, is on display to the public at The Houdini Museum in Scranton, Pennsylvania. This set of cuffs is believed to be one of only six in the world, some of which are not on display. CANNOTANSWER | Harry Houdini |

Energy is stored in chemical compounds. This energy is called chemical energy. Chemical energy is a form of potential energy. When bonds between atoms are broken, energy is released. The wood in fireplaces has chemical energy. The energy is released as heat and light when the wood burns. Most living things get their energy from food. When food molecules are broken down, the energy is released. It may then be used to do work, like playing ball or studying science. If you have ever heard, "Eat a good breakfast", thats why.

Write some highlights for the following article:
An immediate rise in holiday bookings to Scotland has been recorded following the country's vote to remain part of the United Kingdom. Travel comparison and booking site GoEuro has revealed 4 per cent increase on Friday in bookings from England to Scotland following the 55 per cent to 45 per cent referendum vote against independence. With tourists from England shunning Scotland in the lead-up to the vote - Trivago.co.uk recorded a 29 per cent year-on-year drop in interest from the rest of the UK - it appears Scotland's Great British brothers and sisters are quick to forgive and forget. Scroll down for video. Back in demand: Scotland's most popular paid entry tourist attraction, Edinburgh Castle. Votes are in: After the 55 per cent to 45 per cent referendum vote in favour of pro-union campaigners (pictured), bookings to Scotland have risen immediately. The English were not alone in their keenness to reaffirm ties with the Scots, with a 2.5 per cent increase in bookings via GoEuro overnight from Ireland. Nations with strong independence movements of their own, France and Spain, had revealed in a survey leading up to the vote that a yes decision would make Scotland a more attractive destination to them. However after the no vote the immediate response from the countries has been positive with bookings from Spain rising by 2 per cent and a 3.3 per cent boost from France. Germany, Netherlands and Belgium's interest in the country has remained stable. Boost: An immediate rise in bookings to Scotland has come with news of a no vote for independence. The most remarkable rise in interest has come from the United States, with their jump of 4.8 per cent for bookings to Scotland indicating many were awaiting the result of the referendum before booking their next break abroad. On Thursday, as Scotland went to the polls, some tourism operators said the uncertainty surrounding Scotland's future was unsettling English tourists who were cancelling holidays across the border in their droves. But since the polls of Scotland's 32 council areas recorded a result of 2,001,926 no votes to 1,617,989 yes votes, the country could be set for a tourism boom. Split: Industry experts expressed concern over the affect of independence would have on Scottish travel. 'Earlier this week, we polled thousands of GoEuro users across Europe, and the majority responded saying that an independent Scotland would be a less appealing holiday destination,' said GoEuro's Country Manager Pablo Martinez. 'The referendum result seems to confirm that a united Scotland could well be looking forward to more tourists than ever before. 'This morning's bookings through GoEuro suggest that a "no" vote, coupled with the exposure Scotland has had in the media over recent weeks, has increased number of bookings overnight, especially those from England, France and the US.' Scotland will be in the headlines again for less political reasons next week with the The Ryder Cup golf tournament taking place at Gleneagles in Perthshire between Europe and the United States, another possible catalyst for the surge in American bookings. Back in the spotlight: Gleneagles resort in Perthshire will host the Ryder Cup golf tournament next week. A statement from UK travel association ABTA after the vote was finalised soon after 6am on Friday welcomed the stability that came with the no vote but said there were still issues to be ironed out between the industry and the British government. 'Today's No vote brings to a close a protracted period of uncertainty, and means that travel companies and their customers can continue with the current regulatory and business systems,' ABTA said in a statement. 'Some of the travel issues raised during the independence debate, such as Air Passenger Duty and consumer protection, remain live issues, and ABTA will continue to engage with these on behalf of its Members in Scotland and the rest of the United Kingdom.' | Bookings from England to Scotland have risen after the independence vote.

Write an email with the subject line "New Starters". | At the last RAC Departmental meeting concern was expressed that the vacant positions within RAC were not being filled as quickly as hoped. I would therefore like to keep you all updated as to where we stand with new joiners. Recent new recruits include: Rudi Zipter (Director - MRM) who has transferred from Houston, Shane Miller (Senior Specialist - MRM) and Ravi Tumuluri (Associate - U/W) and I would like to welcome them all to RAC. Looking forward we have several new people coming on board in the next few months and I have outlined their provisional start dates below: Credit John Collenette (Snr Director) - 5 November Mike Mumford (Director) - 3 September Blair Van Zant (Director) - 1 October Tracy Ngo (Director) - September Simon Hockenhull (Snr Specialist) - 2 September Adam Bauer (Specialist) - 27 August (Sydney office initially) Shane Forster (Sr.Specialist) - 24 September Market Risk Michel Gantois (Director) - December/January Erik Beekman (Specialist) - 17 September Underwriting Christian Pearce (Associate) - 10 September I realize that, in addition to increasing our capacity, new starters also require a fair amount of indoctrination/training. Many members of our team as well as RAC-Houston and much of EEL have put a large amount of time and effort in the selection of these people, all with the consideration of adding people that will fit in and provide some level of unique experience/insight. We believe that these new starters will provide an excellent complement to our existing skill sets. Please do your best to welcome these new people, take advantage of their capabilities as well as give them the benefit of your knowledge and experience. Hopefully these additions will allow us to effect an intellectual capital transfer that benefits us all and makes this a better place to work in all respects.

Write an article based on this "Stay hydrated. Know what drinks to avoid. Eat grapefruit every day. Get more anti-oxidants." | The effect of dehydration in your body will result in higher hematocrit levels, a higher whole blood volume, and higher plasma volume as there's less liquid in your body to dilute your blood. This means when you are severely dehydrated, your hematocrit level will be sky high; on the other hand, if you have a sufficient amount of water in your body, your hematocrit level will remain within normal. Coconut water, unconcentrated juice drinks (like apple and pineapple juices), and sports drinks (like Gatorade or Powerade) are all great options. Remember that drinking 8 to 12 glasses every day will do wonders for your body. Make it a habit to increase your fluid intake, especially if you are in the middle of doing something very strenuous. Drinking caffeine and alcoholic drinks are discouraged because both of them are diuretics. They stimulate urination and can cause dehydration even though you're consistently drinking. To keep your hematocrit levels low, skip the soda, wine, hard liquor, and beer, and stick to water or unsweetened juices. By drinking more fluids, the concentration of the blood will be diluted because the body also stores fluid in our bloodstream, thus lowering the concentration level of the hematocrit. Aim for an intake of 2 liters (0.5 US gal) a day or more to keep a normal hematocrit level. Recent studies have shown that eating 1/2 to a whole grapefruit every day can lower your hematocrit levels. The higher your levels, the more effective grapefruit will be. Include a half with your breakfast and half the other half as a snack at midday. This is because naringin, a flavonoid seen in high concentrations in grapefruit, can lead to phagocytosis, which is a process that naturally removes red blood cells from your blood, converting them into other uses. These help protect the body from free radicals which are thought to cause cancer and other blood-related diseases. When you consume supplements or foods that are rich in anti-oxidants, transport of oxygen in your body is easier. Good sources of these are prunes, beans, and berries. Anti-oxidants help in a number of ways, but the most important thing to note when it comes to lowering your hematocrit level is that it can help in providing oxygen to the blood so that it can properly circulate in your body. It does not only help in avoiding diseases but will also help in promoting good health. |

Please answer a question about the following article about Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom):
A government report covered by the Guardian in 2002 indicates that between 1940 and 1979, the Ministry of Defence "turned large parts of the country into a giant laboratory to conduct a series of secret germ warfare tests on the public" and many of these tests "involved releasing potentially dangerous chemicals and micro-organisms over vast swaths of the population without the public being told." The Ministry of Defence claims that these trials were to simulate germ warfare and that the tests were harmless. Still, families who have been in the area of many of the tests are experiencing children with birth defects and physical and mental handicaps and many are asking for a public inquiry. According to the report these tests affected estimated millions of people including one period between 1961 and 1968 where "more than a million people along the south coast of England, from Torquay to the New Forest, were exposed to bacteria including e.coli and bacillus globigii, which mimics anthrax." Two scientists commissioned by the Ministry of Defence stated that these trials posed no risk to the public. This was confirmed by Sue Ellison, a representative of Porton Down who said that the results from these trials "will save lives, should the country or our forces face an attack by chemical and biological weapons." Asked whether such tests are still being carried out, she said: "It is not our policy to discuss ongoing research." It is unknown whether or not the harmlessness of the trials was known at the time of their occurrence.

Summarize this article:
Three years ago a small robot called Kirobo blasted into space, headed for the International Space Station. When it arrived, the 34-cm-tall, Toyota-made android became best buddies with Japanese astronaut Koichi Wakata, accompanying him around the station, engaging in polite conversation, and even showing emotion according to the subject matter.
Following Kirobo’s successful space jaunt, the car company decided to back the development of a smaller version of the already small robot, calling it – rather appropriately – Kirobo Mini. It unveiled the diminutive droid at the 2015 Tokyo Motor Show.
Toyota announced on Monday that Kirobo Mini will go on sale in Japan next year for 39,800 yen (about $390), though a 300-yen (about $2.95) monthly subscription fee will also be necessary.
Besides the robot itself, you’ll also receive a “cradle” that’s designed to fit inside a car’s cup holder, ensuring that the robot travels in style wherever you take it. Just don’t forget it’s there when you’re drinking a hot coffee.
An ad (above) released by Toyota over the weekend shows Kirobo Mini hanging out with families, couples, the elderly, singletons, and students, with everyone visibly enthralled by its ability to say the right thing at the right time. However, Kirobo Mini’s specific functionality, and the extent to which it’ll be able to interact with humans, is yet to be revealed.
Designed by Tomotaka Takahashi of the University of Tokyo’s Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology (RCAST), Robo Garage of Kyoto University, and Toyota, the original Kirobo was sent to the ISS in 2013 to join Wakata for the first-ever space-based communication experiments between a robot and a human.
“I wish for this robot to function as a mediator between a person and machine, or a person and the Internet, and sometimes even between people,” Takahashi said at the time.

In a country with a rapidly aging population and where an increasing number of people are living alone, it’s perhaps little surprise that companion robots like Kirobo are garnering increasing attention in Japan.
Japanese mobile giant SoftBank launched Pepper a couple of years ago, marketing it as an “emotional robot” that can dance, sing, and tell jokes, while in June Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai said his company is currently working on a robot that’ll be capable of “forming an emotional bond with customers.”
And we mustn’t forget Sharp’s remarkable RoBoHon smartphone. The tiny robot, which bears more than a passing resemblance to Kirobo Mini, also behaves like your personal pal (or more accurately, assistant), reading out your phone messages and alerts, waking you up in the morning, and making and placing calls. ||||| (This version of the October 3rd story corrects the name of robotics group in paragraph 8)
By Naomi Tajitsu
TOKYO (Reuters) - Toyota Motor Corp on Monday unveiled a doe-eyed palm-sized robot, dubbed Kirobo Mini, designed as a synthetic baby companion in Japan, where plummeting birth rates have left many women childless.
Toyota’s non-automotive venture aims to tap a demographic trend that has put Japan at the forefront of aging among the world’s industrial nations, resulting in a population contraction unprecedented for a country not at war, or racked by famine or disease.
“He wobbles a bit, and this is meant to emulate a seated baby, which hasn’t fully developed the skills to balance itself,” said Fuminori Kataoka, Kirobo Mini’s chief design engineer. “This vulnerability is meant to invoke an emotional connection.”
Toyota plans to sell Kirobo Mini, which blinks its eyes and speaks with a baby-like high-pitched voice, for 39,800 yen ($392) in Japan next year. It also comes with a “cradle” that doubles as its baby seat designed to fit in car cup holders.
The Toyota baby automaton joins a growing list of companion robots, such as the upcoming Jibo, designed by robotics experts at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology that resembles a swiveling lamp, and Paro, a robot baby seal marketed by Japanese company Intelligent System Co Ltd as a therapeutic machine to soothe elderly dementia sufferers. Around a quarter of Japan’s population is over 65 with a dearth of care workers putting a strain on social services.
Exacerbated by a reluctance to invite immigrants to bolster its working-age population, Japan’s demographic crunch shows little sign of easing, with the government looking at robots to replenish the thinning ranks of humans.

In the past half century births in Japan have halved to around a million a year, according to government statistics, with one in 10 women never marrying. Births out of wedlock are frowned upon in Japan and much less common than in Western developed nations.
Japan is already a leading user of industrial robots. It has the second-biggest concentration after South Korea with 314 machines per 100,000 employees, according to the International Federation of Robotics. New technology to help them better interact with humans means robots have begun moving beyond factory floors into homes, offices, shops and hospitals.
Kataoka said Toyota, which is investing heavily to develop artificial intelligence for self-driving cars, sees Kirobo Mini as a stepping stone to more advanced robots that will be able to recognize and react to human emotions. ||||| | – Toyota has introduced an odd new product, and no, it's not a car. The Japan-based automotive manufacturer just unveiled the Kirobo Mini, a small, humanoid robot designed to "invoke an emotional connection," according to chief design engineer Fuminori Kataoka. Toyota's robot is one of a "growing list" of companion devices coming out in the country, which is suffering population contraction due to a plethora of social factors, including a general lack of interest in marriage and children among young Japanese, Reuters reports. With a lack of caretakers for an increasingly elderly population, the country is turning to robots to fill the gap. The Kirobo Mini itself doesn't offer any functionality beyond companionship, though the palm-sized robot "wobbles a bit, and this is meant to emulate a seated baby, which hasn't fully developed the skills to balance itself," Kataoka says. It also comes with a "cradle" of sorts, designed to fit in the cupholder of one's car. According to Digital Trends, the Kirobo Mini was inspired by a larger robot Toyota made as a companion for a Japanese astronaut aboard the ISS. Toyota's betting the concept will be a hit down here on Earth, too, and it must be confident, as the device is priced at a whopping 39,800 yen (roughly $392), plus a $3 monthly subscription. The device will go on sale next year in Japan. (Robots tried to write a Beatles song, and kind of pulled it off.) |

Write an article that answers the following question: How many yards of differential were there between Nick Folk's first field goal and the first rushing touchdown of the game? | Still looking for their first win of the season, the Bills went home, donned their throwback uniforms, and played a Week 4 AFC East duel with the New York Jets. Buffalo would trail early in the first quarter as Jets running back LaDainian Tomlinson got a 1-yard touchdown run. New York would add onto their lead in the second quarter as kicker Nick Folk nailed a 19-yard field goal, followed by quarterback Mark Sanchez completing a 41-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Braylon Edwards. Buffalo would close out the half as quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick connected with tight end David Martin on a 4-yard touchdown pass. In the third quarter, the Jets would greatly extend their lead with tight end Dustin Keller catching a 3-yard touchdown pass from wide receiver/quarterback Brad Smith, followed by his 2-yard touchdown reception from Sanchez. Afterwards, Tomlinson would help secure the win for New York with his 26-yard touchdown run. The Bills would close out the game in the fourth quarter as Fitzpatrick completed a 13-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Steve Johnson. With the loss, Buffalo fell to 0-4. Two days later, Marshawn Lynch was traded to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick in the 2011 draft and a conditional pick in the 2012 draft, and tackle Jamon Meredith was waived. |

Resettlement is for people who have not reached, or have not tried to reach, the European Union to apply for asylum here, so for all the Heads of State who are constantly saying that we should tackle migration where it originates before it ends up in the European Union, this should be the perfect instrument. | Reinstalarea este pentru persoanele care nu au ajuns sau care nu au încercat să ajungă în Uniunea Europeană pentru a solicita azil aici, astfel încât pentru toți șefii de stat care spun în mod constant că ar trebui să abordăm migrația acolo unde își are originea înainte de a ajunge în Uniunea Europeană, acesta ar fi instrumentul perfect. |

Which entity is this text about?
Rosenberg was born on 12 January 1893 in Tallinn in the Russian Empire, the capital of modern Estonia, to a family of Baltic Germans. His father, Waldemar Wilhelm Rosenberg, was a wealthy merchant from Latvia, and his mother, Elfriede (nee Sire), was a teacher of French language in Tallinn. The Hungarian-Jewish journalist Franz Szell, who was apparently residing in Tilsit, Lithuania, spent a year researching in Latvian and Estonian archives before publishing in 1936 an open letter, with copies to Hermann Goring, Joseph Goebbels, German foreign minister Konstantin von Neurath, and others, accusing Rosenberg of having "no drop of German blood" flowing in his veins. Szell wrote that among Rosenberg's ancestors were only "Latvians, Jews, Mongols, and French."
Rosenberg was captured by Allied troops at the end of the war in Flensburg-Murwik. He was tried at Nuremberg and found guilty of all four counts: conspiracy to commit crimes against peace; planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression; war crimes; and crimes against humanity. The final judgment against him named him one of the principal planners of the invasions of Norway and the Soviet Union. It also held him directly responsible for the systematic plunder of the occupied countries of Europe, as well as the brutal conditions in Eastern Europe. During his trial he wrote his memoirs, which were published posthumously and with analytical commentary by Serge Lang and Ernst von Schenck. He was sentenced to death and executed with other condemned co-defendants at Nuremberg Prison on the morning of 16 October 1946. His body, like those of the other nine executed men and that of Hermann Goring, was cremated at Ostfriedhof (Munich) and the ashes were scattered in the river Isar. Throughout the trial, it was agreed that Rosenberg had a decisive role in shaping Nazi philosophy and ideology. Examples include: his book, Myth of the Twentieth Century, which was published in 1930, where he incited hatred against "Liberal Imperialism" and "Bolshevik Marxism"; furthering the influence of the "Lebensraum" idea in Germany during the war; facilitating the persecution of Christian churches and the Jews in particular; and opposition to the Versailles Treaty. According to Joseph Kingsbury-Smith, who covered the executions for the International News Service, Rosenberg was the only condemned man who, when asked at the gallows if he had any last statement to make, replied with only one word: "No". CANNOTANSWER | Alfred Rosenberg |

The next to arrive were the Dutch, with their main base in Ceylon. The British—who set up a trading post in the west coast port of Surat in 1619—and the French. The internal conflicts among Indian kingdoms gave opportunities to the European traders to gradually establish political influence and appropriate lands. Although these continental European powers controlled various coastal regions of southern and eastern India during the ensuing century, they eventually lost all their territories in India to the British islanders, with the exception of the French outposts of Pondichéry and Chandernagore, the Dutch port of Travancore, and the Portuguese colonies of Goa, Daman and Diu.[citation needed]

Rub 2 to 5 drops of oil in your hands to warm it up. Apply argan oil 2 to 3 times a week to keep your hair silky and smooth. | To apply argan oil, start with only a few drops. A little goes a long way, and using too much may weigh down your hair. Rub your hands together to spread the oil across both palms and warm it up, which will make the oil easier to distribute and penetrate into your hair. The oil usually keeps your hair shiny for at least 2 to 3 days. This is because the highly-concentrated oil deeply penetrates your hair, which helps keep your hair soft. If your hair is excessively brittle or damaged, your hair may need more oil. In this case, it’s okay to apply the argan oil every day. |

Is the following review positive or negative?
New Circle K format here. They started out great, with staff saying hello like a Quik Trip. But that has fallen to a lower level recently. If you go late at night, it's like pulling teeth when the person says hello. I think night staff is more like your standard Circle K staff of the older stores. They have a huge selection of beverages here, coffee, slushes, soda, teas, etc. Large store, very roomy. Well designed gas pumps with 2 pumps per row, easy access in/out of driveways, convenient location. I hope they get back to the greeting customers each and every time with an upbeat, energetic tone.

My new found shop for picking a cigars. Very well stocked humidor and their prices are the best that I have seen around. Friendly and helpful service with a very knowledgeable staff. Most importantly, most cigar shops have a kind of dingy/dirty feel to them (not really sure why), but this place was clean and welcoming. Side note: Picked up the #1 cigar from Cigar Aficionado - Flor de las Antillas for the best price in the valley. Delicious cigar, by the way.

The Packers gave a strong defensive show in a win over the lowly Buccaneers, holding Tampa Bay 109 yards of net offense, and only 16 yards rushing. The Packers offense scuffled some, as Aaron Rodgers nursed a sore calf. Running back Eddie Lacy broke the 1,000-yard mark for the season, making him the first Packer since John Brockington to rush for over 1,000 yards in each of his first two seasons. The 20-3 win gave Green Bay an 11-4 record and secured the Packers a spot in the playoffs.

By Helen Pow PUBLISHED: 23:04 EST, 6 March 2013 | UPDATED: 23:30 EST, 6 March 2013 Airlines aren't usually known for their bleeding hearts. But United went above and beyond last month, when it delayed a flight to Lubbock, Texas, so a passenger could get home in time to say goodbye to his dying mother. Kerry Drake got a call from his brother on the morning on January 24, informing him that their mom, Dolores, who'd suffered from rheumatoid arthritis for decades, didn't have long.
