Q: Marble is a metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble may be foliated. Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed limestone; however, stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone. Marble is commonly used for sculpture and as a building material.

The word "marble" derives from the Ancient Greek , from , "crystalline rock, shining stone", perhaps from the verb , "to flash, sparkle, gleam"; R. S. P. Beekes has suggested that a "Pre-Greek origin is probable."

This stem is also the basis for the English word "marmoreal", meaning "marble-like." While the English term resembles the French ', most other European languages follow the original Greeksee Persian and Irish ', Spanish ', Italian ', Portuguese ', Welsh, Slovene, German, Norwegian, Danish and Swedish ', Finnish "marmori," Romanian ', Polish ', Dutch ', Turkish '," "Czech ', and Russian ). In Hungarian it is called '.

Marble is a rock resulting from metamorphism of sedimentary carbonate rocks, most commonly limestone or dolomite rock. Metamorphism causes variable recrystallization of the original carbonate mineral grains. The resulting marble rock is typically composed of an interlocking mosaic of carbonate crystals. Primary sedimentary textures and structures of the original carbonate rock (protolith) have typically been modified or destroyed.

Q: Bush takes ice bucket challenge . Bush has joined a growing list of celebrities across the world to take the ice bucket challenge. He did it to help raise money for Lou Gehrig's disease and chose his predecessor Bill Clinton to do it next. In a video posted on Wednesday on Bush's Facebook page, the former president, wearing a navy blue coat while sitting at a table, said he was challenged by his daughter Jenna Bush Hager to take the challenge. As he wrote the check, Laura Bush appeared with a white bucket and poured ice water over her husband's head and then said, "That check is for me. I don't want to ruin my hairstyle." Bush then announced his choice. "Now it's my right to challenge my friend Bill Clinton to the ALS Challenge," he said. "Yesterday was Bill's birthday and my gift to him is a bucket of cold water." The online campaign challenges people to either dump a bucket of ice water over their heads or donate to support research for Lou Gehrig's disease. When a person accepts the ice bucket challenge, he or she must challenge another person to partake in the raising money effort. Many famous people in different fields around the world took part in the activity, including Bill Gates, Stephen King, Christiano Ronaldo, and Lady Gaga, and so on.

Answer the following questions:
1. What does he do?
2. Is he the only one who does it?
3. Who else does it?
4. What are they trying to make money for?
5. Who does he ask to go after him?
6. Who is he?
7. What do people do in this contest?
8. From what?

Q: The Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), or Dewey Decimal System, is a proprietary library classification system first published in the United States by Melvil Dewey in 1876. It has been revised and expanded through 23 major editions, the latest issued in 2011, and has grown from a four-page pamphlet in 1876. It is also available in an abridged version suitable for smaller libraries. It is currently maintained by the Online Computer Library Center (OCLC), a non-profit cooperative that serves libraries. OCLC licenses access to an online version for catalogers called "WebDewey".

The Decimal Classification introduced the concepts of "relative location" and "relative index" which allow new books to be added to a library in their appropriate location based on subject. Libraries previously had given books permanent shelf locations that were related to the order of acquisition rather than topic. The classification's notation makes use of three-digit Arabic numerals for main classes, with fractional decimals allowing expansion for further detail. Using Arabic numerals for symbols, it is flexible to the degree that numbers can be expanded in linear fashion to cover special aspects of general subjects. A library assigns a classification number that unambiguously locates a particular volume in a position relative to other books in the library, on the basis of its subject. The number makes it possible to find any book and to return it to its proper place on the library shelves. The classification system is used in 200,000 libraries in at least 135 countries.

Answer the following questions:
1. Who published the DDC?
2. When?
3. Where?
4. Is DDC an acronym?
5. What does it stand for?
6. Is it called anything else?
7. What concepts were introduced with this program?
8. What criteria did it use to put the books in a location?
9. What type of numerals did it use for main classes of books?
10. 2 digit?
11. How many?
12. Were fractional decimals used as well?
13. What did this allow expansion for?
14. Was the use of numerals rigid?
15. How was its use described?
16. How many editions have there been?
