question: The weather was perfect. We were just out for a picnic. When lunch time came, we decided to go and get something to eat, and meet back on the grass. Susan and I headed for a hot dog stand . We watched the seller put together the hot dog. But when Susan took out her money, the man surprised us. "It looks a little overdone," he said, "so you don't have to pay me. " We said our thanks,joined our friends, and began to enjoy our food. But as we talked and ate, I noticed a man sitting alone, in dirty clothes. I could tell that he hadn't had a bath for days. Another homeless person, I thought. We finished eating but when Susan and I went to throw away the lunch bag, I heard a voice ask, "there isn't any food in that bag, is there?" It was the homeless man. I didn't know what to say. "No, I ate it already. " "Oh, really? " was his only answer. He was obviously very hungry. I felt bad for him, but I didn't know what to do. Suddenly Susan said, "I'll be right back. Please wait for me a minute. " I watched curiously as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog, crossed back, and gave the man the food. When she came back to us, Susan said simply, "I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me. " That day I learned how _ can go farther than the person you give to. By giving, you teach others how to give also. You never know what happiness a simple act of care will bring.

question: CHAPTER XXXV.

HOW ABBOT THOROLD WAS PUT TO RANSOM.

Though Hereward had as yet no feud against "Bysshoppes and Archbysshoppes," save Egelsin of Selsey, who had excommunicated him, but who was at the other end of England, he had feud, as may be supposed, against Thorold, Abbot of Peterborough, and Thorold feud likewise against him. When Thorold had entered the "Golden Borough," hoping to fatten himself with all its treasures, he had found it a smoking ruin, and its treasures gone to Ely to pay Sweyn and his Danes. And such a "sacrilege," especially when he was the loser thereby, was the unpardonable sin itself in the eyes of Thorold, as he hoped it might be in the eyes of St. Peter. Joyfully therefore he joined his friend Ivo Taillebois; when, "with his usual pompous verbosity," saith Peter of Blois, writing on this very matter, he asked him to join in destroying Hereward.

Nevertheless, with all the Norman chivalry at their back, it behoved them to move with caution; for (so says the chronicler) "Hereward had in these days very many foreigners, as well as landsfolk, who had come to him to practise and learn war, and fled from their masters and friends when they heard of his fame; and some of them the king's courtiers, who had come to see whether those things which they heard were true, whom Hereward nevertheless received cautiously, on plighted troth and oath."

So Ivo Taillebois summoned all his men, and all other men's men who would join him, and rode forth through Spalding and Bourne, having announced to Lucia his bride that he was going to slay her one remaining relative; and when she wept, cursed and kicked her, as he did once a week. After which he came to Thorold of Peterborough.

question: The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is the main international standards organization for the World Wide Web (abbreviated WWW or W3).

Founded and currently led by Tim Berners-Lee, the consortium is made up of member organizations which maintain full-time staff for the purpose of working together in the development of standards for the World Wide Web. , the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) has 463 members.

The W3C also engages in education and outreach, develops software and serves as an open forum for discussion about the Web.

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) was founded by Tim Berners-Lee after he left the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) (Conseil Europeen pour la Recherche Nucleaire) in October, 1994. It was founded at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Laboratory for Computer Science (MIT/LCS) with support from the European Commission and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which had pioneered the Internet and its predecessor ARPANET.

The organization tries to foster compatibility and agreement among industry members in the adoption of new standards defined by the W3C. Incompatible versions of HTML are offered by different vendors, causing inconsistency in how web pages are displayed. The consortium tries to get all those vendors to implement a set of core principles and components which are chosen by the consortium.
