question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: Bin Laden reportedly discussed the planes operation with KSM and Atef in a series of meetings in the spring of 1999 at the al Matar complex near Kandahar.
Sent 2: KSM's original concept of using one of the hijacked planes to make a media statement was scrapped, but Bin Laden considered the basic idea feasible.
Sent 3: Bin Laden, Atef, and KSM developed an initial list of targets.
Sent 4: These included the White House, the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, and the World Trade Center.
Sent 5: According to KSM, Bin Laden wanted to destroy the White House and the Pentagon, KSM wanted to strike the World Trade Center, and all of them wanted to hit the Capitol.
Sent 6: No one else was involved in the initial selection of targets.
Sent 7: Bin Laden also soon selected four individuals to serve as suicide operatives: Khalid al Mihdhar, Nawaf al Hazmi, Khallad, and Abu Bara al Yemeni.
Sent 8: During the al Matar meetings, Bin Laden told KSM that Mihdhar and Hazmi were so eager to participate in an operation against the United States that they had already obtained U.S. visas.
Sent 9: KSM states that they had done so on their own after the suicide of their friend Azzam (Nashiri's cousin) in carrying out the Nairobi bombing.
Sent 10: KSM had not met them.
Sent 11: His only guidance from Bin Laden was that the two should eventually go to the United States for pilot training.

Sent 13: Like the others in this initial group of selectees, they were already experienced mujahideen.
Sent 14: They had traveled together to fight in Bosnia in a group that journeyed to the Balkans in 1995.
Sent 15: By the time Hazmi and Mihdhar were assigned to the planes operation in early 1999, they had visited Afghanistan on several occasions.
Sent 16: Khallad was another veteran mujahid, like much of his family.
Sent 17: His father had been expelled from Yemen because of his extremist views.
Sent 18: Khallad had grown up in Saudi Arabia, where his father knew Bin Laden, Abdullah Azzam, and Omar Abdel Rahman (the "Blind Sheikh").

question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: Alexander earned the epithet "The Great" due to his unparalleled success as a military commander.
Sent 2: He never lost a battle, despite typically being outnumbered.
Sent 3: This was due to use of terrain, phalanx and cavalry tactics, bold strategy, and the fierce loyalty of his troops.
Sent 4: The Macedonian phalanx, armed with the sarissa, a spear 6 metres (20 ft) long, had been developed and perfected by Philip II through rigorous training, and Alexander used its speed and maneuverability to great effect against larger but more disparate Persian forces.
Sent 5: Alexander also recognized the potential for disunity among his diverse army, which employed various languages and weapons.
Sent 6: He overcame this by being personally involved in battle, in the manner of a Macedonian king.
Sent 7: In his first battle in Asia, at Granicus, Alexander used only a small part of his forces, perhaps 13,000 infantry with 5,000 cavalry, against a much larger Persian force of 40,000.
Sent 8: Alexander placed the phalanx at the center and cavalry and archers on the wings, so that his line matched the length of the Persian cavalry line, about 3 km (1.86 mi).
Sent 9: By contrast, the Persian infantry was stationed behind its cavalry.
Sent 10: This ensured that Alexander would not be outflanked, while his phalanx, armed with long pikes, had a considerable advantage over the Persian's scimitars and javelins.
Sent 11: Macedonian losses were negligible compared to those of the Persians.
Sent 12: At Issus in 333 BC, his first confrontation with Darius, he used the same deployment, and again the central phalanx pushed through.
Sent 13: Alexander personally led the charge in the center, routing the opposing army.
Sent 14: At the decisive encounter with Darius at Gaugamela, Darius equipped his chariots with scythes on the wheels to break up the phalanx and equipped his cavalry with pikes.
Sent 15: Alexander arranged a double phalanx, with the center advancing at an angle, parting when the chariots bore down and then reforming.
Sent 16: The advance was successful and broke Darius' center, causing the latter to flee once again.
Sent 17: When faced with opponents who used unfamiliar fighting techniques, such as in Central Asia and India, Alexander adapted his forces to his opponents' style.
Sent 18: Thus, in Bactria and Sogdiana, Alexander successfully used his javelin throwers and archers to prevent outflanking movements, while massing his cavalry at the center.
Question: Why did Alexander only use a small part of his forces in his first battle in Asia?.
answer:
Alexander placed the phalanx at the center and cavalry and archers on the wings, so that his line matched the length of the Persian cavalry line, which ensured his army would not be out flanked.

question:
Paragraph- Sent 1: If you beat a dog in Schuylkill County, you'll probably get a $100 fine.
Sent 2: If you repeatedly beat a woman, you'll probably get the same fine.
Sent 3: In 2001, county judges heard 98 Protection From Abuse cases, finding the defendant guilty in 48 percent of those cases, either after a hearing or through a technical violation or plea.
Sent 4: Of those found guilty, the majority were ordered to pay court costs, plus a $100 fine.
Sent 5: No defendants were ordered to pay more than a $250 fine for violating the court order.
Sent 6: In 27 percent of the cases, the charges were dismissed or the defendant was found not guilty.
Sent 7: In the rest of the cases, charges were withdrawn or the matter is not yet resolved.
Sent 8: Sarah T. Casey, executive director of Schuylkill Women in Crisis, finds it disturbing that in most cases, the fine for violating a PFA is little more than the fine someone would get for cruelty and abuse toward an animal.
Sent 9: "In most of the counties surrounding Schuylkill County, the penalties given for indirect criminal contempt are much stiffer than those in Schuylkill County," Casey said.
Sent 10: "What kind of message are we sending those who repeatedly violate Protection From Abuse orders?
Sent 11: That it's OK to abuse women in Schuylkill County, because you'll only get a slap on the wrist?"Sent 12: Under state law, the minimum fine for contempt of a PFA is $100; the maximum fine is $1,000 and up to six months in jail.
Sent 13: Like others who are familiar with how the county's legal system does and doesn't work for victims of domestic violence, Casey believes some changes are in order.
Sent 14: Valerie West, a manager/attorney with Mid-Penn Legal Services, with offices in Pottsville and Reading, regularly handles domestic violence cases.
Sent 15: She finds fault with the local requirement that a custody order must be established within 30 days after a PFA is filed.
Sent 16: West said she feels a custody order should be allowed to stand for the full term of the PFA - up to 18 months - as it does in many other counties in the state.
Sent 17: "It places an undue burden on the plaintiff, in terms of cost, finding legal representation and facing their abuser - not to mention a further burden on the system to provide those services," West said.
Sent 18: "It may be difficult for the parties to reach an agreement so soon after violence has occurred.
Question: How long does Valerie West suggest the custody order should last, and for whom does she work?.
answer:
6 months.
