QUES: The expression "bitumen" originated in the Sanskrit, where we find the words jatu, meaning "pitch," and jatu-krit, meaning "pitch creating", "pitch producing" (referring to coniferous or resinous trees). The Latin equivalent is claimed by some to be originally gwitu-men (pertaining to pitch), and by others, pixtumens (exuding or bubbling pitch), which was subsequently shortened to bitumen, thence passing via French into English. From the same root is derived the Anglo Saxon word cwidu (mastix), the German word Kitt (cement or mastic) and the old Norse word kvada.

What does the Sanskrit word translate as?
What is the answer?
ANS: pitch creating
QUES: The initial prototype shown in May 2005 featured two HDMI ports, three Ethernet ports and six USB ports; however, when the system was shown again a year later at E3 2006, these were reduced to one HDMI port, one Ethernet port and four USB ports, presumably to cut costs. Two hardware configurations were also announced for the console: a 20 GB model and a 60 GB model, priced at US$499 (499) and US$599 (599), respectively. The 60 GB model was to be the only configuration to feature an HDMI port, Wi-Fi internet, flash card readers and a chrome trim with the logo in silver. Both models were announced for a simultaneous worldwide release: November 11, 2006, for Japan and November 17, 2006, for North America and Europe.

How many USB ports did the original PS3 prototype have?

QUES: The province of France has produced a large number of preachers. The conferences of Notre-Dame-de-Paris were inaugurated by Pere Lacordaire. The Dominicans of the province of France furnished Lacordaire (18351836, 18431851), Jacques Monsabre (18691870, 18721890), Joseph Ollivier (1871, 1897), Thomas Etourneau (18981902).[citation needed] Since 1903 the pulpit of Notre Dame has been occupied by a succession of Dominicans. Pere Henri Didon (d. 1900) was a Dominican. The house of studies of the province of France publishes L'Annee Dominicaine (founded 1859), La Revue des Sciences Philosophiques et Theologiques (1907), and La Revue de la Jeunesse (1909). French Dominicans founded and administer the Ecole Biblique et Archeologique francaise de Jerusalem founded in 1890 by Pere Marie-Joseph Lagrange O.P. (18551938), one of the leading international centres for Biblical research. It is at the Ecole Biblique that the famed Jerusalem Bible (both editions) was prepared.
