Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: Starting from Scratch: Whoever first stepped ashore on Madeira discovered no signs of previous habitationno Stone-Age natives, as the Spanish found on the Canary Islands, and no mysterious monuments to the past, as on the Balearics.
Sent 2: Occupation of Madeira began in the early 1420s as a decidedly minimalist project: colonists arrived with only as much as they could carry from mainland Portugal.
Sent 3: They found plenty of water pouring down from the mountains, and more timber than anyone knew what to do with.
Sent 4: So they set about clearing the land for agriculture, setting fire to massive tracts of forest.
Sent 5: Legend says that a great fire burned for seven years on the island, leveling it of all its trees.
Sent 6: The fire provided the soil with a rich ash fertilizer, which complemented the luxuriant growing conditions of tropical sun and plentiful water.
Sent 7: The Portuguese saw valuable economic opportunity in their new possession and ordered Malvasia grapes from Crete and sugar cane from Italy in an effort to seed the island's first cash crops.
Sent 8: The project was not a simple one.
Sent 9: Colonists had to locate enough level ground to grow crops on and solve the issue of irrigating them.
Sent 10: Brute strength, without aid of machinery, carved flat surfaces out of the mountains, and settlers built the terracesstill seen todayon the steep slopes.
Sent 11: The problem of watering crops was solved by the irrigation system known as levadassimply-designed water channels that wound down from water sources on the verdant mountain tops.
Sent 12: The levadas were largely built by slave laborers from Africa, whose primary employment was on sugar plantations.
Sent 13: New Madeirans traded sugar, the era's dominant luxury item, with Britain and Flanders, and they proved skillful in the art of winemaking.
Sent 14: The island's burgeoning economic significance propelled population growth, and by the middle of the 15th century Madeira was home to 800 families.
Sent 15: A 1514 census recorded 5,000 inhabitants.
Sent 16: In 1478 Madeira welcomed a visitor who would greatly assist the island's future wine trade.
Sent 17: Christopher Columbus, not yet a sailor of any renown, sailed to Madeira on an assignment to buy sugar cane.
Sent 18: His sojourn was unsuccessful, as money failed to arrive for part of the shipment.
Question: What famous explorer would be sail to the colony in 1478?.

Q: Paragraph- Sent 1: States like Minnesota and New Jersey spend three times more than California to meet the poor's legal needs, Connecticut and Massachusetts spend more than twice as much, and countries like England, Canada, Australia, Scotland and New Zealand spend anywhere from two to 14 times more proportionately than California, despite the fact that California has the world's sixth largest economy.
Sent 2: The report says the state would need to triple its combined public and private investment in legal services to adequately meet the legal needs of low-income Californians.
Sent 3: The 1996 welfare reform legisla tion, in particular, brought dramatic changes to the lives of those living in poverty, for while fewer people now receive welfare benefits, those who left welfare to work are still poor.
Sent 4: And the legal issues they face "have become more numerous and complex," the report said.
Sent 5: "Parents who found only low-paying jobs without health benefits did not improve the well-being of their children.
Sent 6: Women who entered the workforce in low-skilled positions with no opportunity to acquire marketable skills lack realistic long-term options.
Sent 7: Obstacles to employment such as lack of child care and transportation, domestic violence and job discrimination raise a host of new legal issues."Sent 8: Those issues revolve around an extensive universe of problems, including housing, education, domestic violence, immigration, employment, grandparent guardianships, bankruptcy and consumer debt, veterans' issues, elder abuse and home equity fraud, the report said.
Sent 9: To meet all those needs, there is only one legal aid lawyer for every 10,000 poor Californians.
Sent 10: Despite this bleak picture, the state's civil justice community has taken significant steps to close the gap between need and services in the past five years: The legislature and the governor established the Equal Access Fund, which has provided $10 million annually since 1999 for more than 100 local legal services programs.
Sent 11: Access to the courts has been enhanced through a variety of self-help options, including online assistance in every county, a system of family law facilitators, increased funding for alternative dispute resolution and simplified forms and procedures.
Sent 12: The Judicial Council is addressing language barriers by increasing the availability of qualified interpreters and translating forms and instructions into Spanish, Vietnam-ese, Korean and Chinese.
Sent 13: Legal services programs have been strengthened by offering a wide range of services, including self-help clinics and hotlines and working relationships with social services agencies to meet all of a client's needs.
Sent 14: Still, when more than 70 percent of the poor's legal needs are not being met, much remains to be done, the report points out.
Sent 15: It recommends adding to the access fund, increasing both the number of pro bono hours and financial contributions from attorneys, improved assistance for unrepresented litigants and access to an attorney for those who require one, and development of a statewide plan to distribute legal services more evenly throughout the state to insure that the rural population also is served.
Sent 16: "I know my fe llow judges want to do justice and not inflict injustice," observed Justice Earl Johnson of the California Court of Appeal, who chaired the committee that researched and wrote the report.
Sent 17: "More than anyone, they know it can be nearly impossible to do the former and avoid the latter in a one-sided contest where only one litigant has a lawyer."Sent 18: "Our whole society is harmed when access and fairness are denied," said Londen.
Question: Who might help people who face problems such as lack of childcare, domestic violence, and job discrimination?.
