Q: Poultry (/poltri/) are domesticated birds kept by humans for the eggs they produce, their meat, their feathers, or sometimes as pets. These birds are most typically members of the superorder Galloanserae (fowl), especially the order Galliformes (which includes chickens, quails and turkeys) and the family Anatidae, in order Anseriformes, commonly known as "waterfowl" and including domestic ducks and domestic geese. Poultry also includes other birds that are killed for their meat, such as the young of pigeons (known as squabs) but does not include similar wild birds hunted for sport or food and known as game. The word "poultry" comes from the French/Norman word poule, itself derived from the Latin word pullus, which means small animal.

The domestication of poultry took place several thousand years ago. This may have originally been as a result of people hatching and rearing young birds from eggs collected from the wild, but later involved keeping the birds permanently in captivity. Domesticated chickens may have been used for cockfighting at first and quail kept for their songs, but soon it was realised how useful it was having a captive-bred source of food. Selective breeding for fast growth, egg-laying ability, conformation, plumage and docility took place over the centuries, and modern breeds often look very different from their wild ancestors. Although some birds are still kept in small flocks in extensive systems, most birds available in the market today are reared in intensive commercial enterprises. Poultry is the second most widely eaten type of meat globally and, along with eggs, provides nutritionally beneficial food containing high-quality protein accompanied by a low proportion of fat. All poultry meat should be properly handled and sufficiently cooked in order to reduce the risk of food poisoning.

Q: (CNN)A Michigan man is accused of threatening to behead the police officer who put Eric Garner in a chokehold.

Alvaro Eduardo Guzman-Telles, 29, said in a Facebook post in December he was "going to personally kill and behead Daniel Pantaleo" and that "this is a written threat and has to be taken extremely seriously," the FBI alleges in a federal indictment.

He was arrested last month and faces a charge of interstate transmission of threatening communications, according to the indictment.

Pantaleo, a New York City police officer, put Garner in a chokehold while trying to arrest him last July on suspicion of illegally selling cigarettes. Garner died after the encounter, but a grand jury declined in December to indict Pantaleo, sparking large demonstrations across the nation.

Guzman-Telles also allegedly said on Facebook to "kill all cops on sight. No matter the circumstances."

The New York office of the FBI tracked the social media posts back to an address in Sterling Heights, Michigan, where Guzman-Telles' mother was questioned. She said she was aware of the postings and told her son to delete them for she feared the posts would get him in trouble, the FBI said.

Answer the following questions:
1. Who is Pantaleo?
2. who put Garner in a chokehold?
3. When did Garner die?

Q: ISO 20121 (full name: ISO 20121:2012, "Event sustainability management systems - Requirements with guidance for use") is a voluntary international standard for sustainable event management, created by the International Organization for Standardization. The standard aims to help organizations improve sustainability throughout the entire event management cycle.

Every event from a village barbecue to a major sporting event like the Olympics will have economic, social and environmental impacts. Water and energy resources are put under pressure, significant amounts of waste and carbon emissions can be generated. Sometimes events can put a strain on local communities. By 2005, practitioners within the events industry were becoming aware of the need for more sustainable practices.

Specifically, the Head of Sustainability at the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, David Stubbs, was looking for a way to make good on the sustainability promises made in the London Games bid.

He raised the issue with the British Standards Institution (BSI) in the UK. This led to the creation of BS 8901:2007 "Specification for a sustainable event management system with guidance for use". After a period of review, the second version of BS 8901 was published in 2009.

BS 8901 was received very positively by the international event industry, and was soon being widely used. For example, COP15, the United Nations Conference on Climate Change, was certified as compliant with BS 8901 in December 2009. The Microsoft Corporation achieved certification to BS 8901 at its Microsoft Convergence®️ 2009 event in New Orleans, Louisiana, in March 2009.

Answer the following questions:
1. What is the article mainly about?
2. What is one example of an event that comes with impacts?
3. Name another?
4. And the last?
5. How many types of impacts are there?
