Waterboarding is a type of torture that has been used for a long time.
It was often used to make people confess.
The victim is tied onto a table or wooden board.
The questioner has a helper, whose job it is to pour water on the victim's nose and mouth through a towel or cloth, to make it difficult for him to breathe.
If and when the victim is supplying answers that the questioner deems acceptable, the victim (ideally) is permitted to breathe.
In modern times waterboarding has been in use in Guantanamo Bay and has been a major political argument.
Its use by American forces was banned by President Barack Obama in 2009.

The Thousand Islands International Bridge is an international bridge that goes over the Saint Lawrence River.
It connects the north part of New York in the United States with south east part of Ontario in Canada.
It was made in 1937.
Builders added parts in 1959.
The bridge goes over the edge that Canada and United States share in the middle of the Thousand Islands area.
It gets its name from the name of the area.
The bridge is governed by the Thousand Island Bridge Authority, an agency that works around the world.
The bridge is not a single bridge.
It is really a lot of bridges that go across parts of the St. Lawrence River, eventually connecting both sides.
The south end of the bridge connects with Interstate 81, an interstate.
The north side of the bridge connects to Highway 137, a highway in Ontario.
There is also an intersection with the Thousand Islands Parkway, a mini highway on the Ontario side.
The international border is between Wellesley Island in the United States and Hill Island in Canada.
The bridge is much taller than it appears in the photograph to the right.
The highest point is 150 feet above the water.

The Siege of Orleans (1428 – 1429) was an important event in the Hundred Years' War between France and England.
This was Joan of Arc's first success and the first big success for the French since the Battle of Agincourt in 1415.
The city of Orleans was at an important place on the river Loire.
The English controlled large parts of France when they started the siege, and Orleans was the last thing stopping them from attacking the rest of France.
There was not much south of the river to defend the people who served Charles VII of France, so the English came close to joining their northern lands in France with the land they controlled at Aquitaine.
The siege started on October 12, 1428 and its only major action until Joan of Arc arrived was the Battle of the Herrings.
She initiated several attacks that ended the siege on May 8, 1429 - nine days after her arrival.
1420s in Europe
The Battle of Agincourt was fought on 25 October 1415 and was a major win for England against France in the Hundred Years' War.
It led to several later English victories.
Henry V of England led the English army and Constable of France Charles d'Albret led a larger French army.
King Charles of France didn't engage because he was mentally unwell.
Henry V was involved in hand to hand combat and was struck by an axe but his helmet saved him.
The English longbow was an important weapon for killing and winning this battle.
It was more powerful than the French crossbow and they had more of them.
The majority of the army were bowmen.
The English army used sharp wooden archer's stakes to protect the archers from French mounted knights.
The English took prisoners but killed all except those of high rank.
Overall the French lost 8000 men and the English lost 100 but historians are unsure of the actual numbers.
The French mainly lost because they wore heavy armour and got stuck in the sticky mud at Azincourt (Agincourt).
Charles V (21 January 1338 – 16 September 1380), called the Wise, was the King of France from 1364 to his death and a member of the House of Valois.
He was born in Vincennes, the son of King John II of France and Bona of Luxembourg.
After his father was captured by the English at the Battle of Poitiers (1356), Charles acted as the ruler of France.
His reign marked a high point for France during the Hundred Years' War.
His armies recovered large parts of the territory that had been given to England at the Treaty of Brétigny.

A mathematical proof is a way to show that a mathematical theorem is true.
To prove a theorem is to show that theorem holds in all cases (where it claims to hold).
To prove a statement, one can either use axioms, or theorems which have already been shown to be true.
Many techniques for proving a statements exist, and these include proof by induction, proof by contraction and proof by cases.
One type of proof is called proof by induction.
This is usually used to prove that a theorem holds for all numbers (or all numbers from some point onwards).
There are 4 steps in a proof by induction.
State that the proof will be by induction, and state which variable will be used in the induction step.
Prove that the statement is true for some beginning case.
Assume that for some value n = n0, the statement is true and has all of the properties listed in the statement.
This is called the induction step.
Show that the statement is true for the next value, n0+1.
Once that is shown, it would mean that for any value of n that is picked, the next one is true.
Since it is true for some beginning case (usually n=1), it's true for the next one (n=2).
And since it is true for 2, it must be true for 3.
And since it is true for 3, it must be true for 4, etc.
Induction shows that it is always true, precisely because it is true for whatever comes after any given number.
Prove that for all natural numbers n, 2(1+2+3+....+n-1+n)=n(n+1).
Proof: First, the statement can be written as "For all natural numbers n, 2=n(n+1)."
First, for n=1, 2=2(1)=1(1+1), so this is true.
Next, assume that for some n=n0 the statement is true.
That is, 2 = n0(n0+1).
Then for n=n0+1, 2 can be rewritten 2(n0+1) + 2.
Since 2 = n0(n0+1), 2n0+1 + 2 = 2(n0+1) + 2n0(n0+1).
So 2(n0+1) + 2n0(n0+1)= 2(n0+1)(n0 + 2), which completes the proof.
Proof by contradiction
Proof by contradiction is a way of proving a mathematical theorem by showing that if the statement were false, then there would be a logical contradiction involved.
That is, if one of the results of the theorem is assumed to be false, then there would be some inconsistency with the logic.
When proving a theorem by way of contradiction, it is important to note that in the beginning of the proof.
This is usually abbreviated BWOC.
When the contradiction appears in the proof, there is usually a ⨳ symbol involved.
Quadratic equation, which can be solved using a kind of proof called "completing the square"
The Wicker Man is a cult 1973 British horror movie, made and set in Scotland.

Reservoir Dogs is a 1992 American crime drama thriller movie written and directed by Quentin Tarantino.
It stars Harvey Keitel, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Chris Penn and Steve Buscemi.
It is the first movie directed by Tarantino and is about the events before and after a jewelry store robbery that went wrong.
The movie was released on October 23, 1992.
The title, and promo shots associated with the movie, was a take on the violent Sam Peckinpah movie, Straw Dogs.
Although Reservoir Dogs failed at the theater it found new life after being released on VHS and DVD, quickly becoming a cult classic.
The movie shows the events before and after a robbery at a jewelry shop in Los Angeles, California, that went wrong.
The men are given nicknames with colours so that they do not know each others names; Mr. Blonde (Michael Madsen), Mr. Blue (Eddie Bunker), Mr. Brown (Quentin Tarantino), Mr. Orange (Tim Roth), Mr. Pink (Steve Buscemi), and Mr. White (Harvey Keitel).
They work for a gangster Joe Cabot (Lawrence Tierney) and his son, "Nice Guy" Eddie (Chris Penn).
The robbery goes wrong and several of the men are killed, and Mr. Orange is shot and bleeding.
The rest of the men return to the hideout and talk about what went wrong.
Mr. Blonde has captured a police officer, Marvin Nash (Kirk Baltz) and beat him to try to get an answer.
Mr. Blonde tries to torture the police officer while the rest of the men are away but is killed by Mr. Orange who is actually an undercover police officer.
The rest of the men argue and are in a Mexican standoff and are all shot.
Mr. Pink, who hid from the shootout, steals the diamonds and runs away.

Critical reaction
At the movie's release at the Sundance Film Festival, movie critic Jami Bernard of the New York Daily News compared the effect of Reservoir Dogs to that of the 1895 movie L'Arrivée d'un Train en Gare de la Ciotat, where audiences watched a moving train approaching the camera and ran away frightened.
Bernard claimed that Reservoir Dogs had a similar effect and people were not ready for it.
Vincent Canby of the New York Times enjoyed the cast and the use of non-linear storytelling.
He similarly complimented Tarantino's directing and liked the fact that he did not often use close-ups in the movie.
Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times also enjoyed the movie and the acting, particularly that of Buscemi, Tierney and Madsen, and said "Tarantino's palpable enthusiasm, his unapologetic passion for what he's created, reinvigorates this venerable plot and, mayhem aside, makes it involving for longer than you might suspect."
Roger Ebert was less enthusiastic; he felt that the script could have been better and said that the movie "feels like it's going to be terrific", but Tarantino's script does not have much curiosity about the characters.
He also stated that "[Tarantino] has an idea, and trusts the idea to drive the plot."
Ebert gave the movie two and a half stars out of four also claiming that he enjoyed it, and that it was a very good movie from a talented director, like other critics, he enjoyed the cast, but stated "I liked what I saw, but I wanted more".
Reservoir Dogs has received a lot of criticism for its strong violence and language.
One particular scene that viewers did not like was Michael Madsen cutting off the police officer's ear, and Madsen himself reportedly had a great deal of difficulty finishing the scene especially after Kirk Baltz ad-libbed the desperate plea "I've got a little kid at home".
Many people have left theaters during the movie and Tarantino commented at the time: It happens at every single screening.
For some people the violence, or the rudeness of the language, is a mountain they can't climb.
It's not their cup of tea.
But I am affecting them.
I wanted that scene to be disturbing.
During a screening of the movie at a Film Festival in Barcelona, fifteen people walked out, including horror movie director Wes Craven and special effects artist Rick Baker.
Baker later told Tarantino to take the walk out as a "compliment" and explained that he found the violence unnerving because of its heightened sense of realism.
Critic John Hartl compared the ear-cutting scene to the shower murder scene in Psycho and Tarantino to David Lynch.
He furthermore explored parallels between Reservoir Dogs and Glengarry Glen Ross.
After this movie, Tarantino was also compared to Martin Scorsese, Sam Peckinpah, John Singleton, Gus Van Sant, and Abel Ferrara.
For its nonlinear storyline, Reservoir Dogs has also often been compared to Rashomon.
Critic James Berardinelli was of a similar opinion; he complimented both the cast and Tarantino's dialogue writing abilities.
Hal Hinson of The Washington Post was also enthusiastic about the cast, complimenting the movie on its "deadpan sense of humor".
Todd McCarthy called the movie "undeniably impressive" and was of the opinion that it was influenced by Mean Streets, Goodfellas and The Killing.

A variety show is a show that features a variety of performing acts.
These may include actors, musicians and singers, acrobats and jugglers, animal trainers, magicians, comedians, puppeteers, and other kinds of performers.
Ed Sullivan hosted a long-running variety show on CBS, from the 1940s to the early 1970s.
The Smothers Brothers hosted a comedy/variety show in the late 1960s.
Other performers hosted successful variety shows through the years.
Variety shows were a good "breaking ground" for new acts, in the early years of television.
They were also useful to established performers, to give them steady work and regular exposure to audiences.
Interest in the format lessened in the United States during the 1970s.
Dolly Parton tried to start a new variety show in the 1980s, but it did not last.
Performance competition shows, like The Gong Show, Star Search, and today American Idol became the new breaking ground for performers.
The variety show format is still sometimes imitated by  comedy programs.
Television talk shows carry much of the spirit of variety shows, in offering a variety of entertainers to appear.
Jablonsky has composed the soundtracks to the movies The Texas Chainsaw Massacre (2003), Steamboy (2004), The Island (2005), Transformers (2007) and D-War (2007).

The  or Victory Column is a famous sight in Berlin.
It was designed after 1864 to remember Prussia winning the Danish-Prussian war.
By the time it was finished on 2 September 1873 Prussia had also beat Austria in the Austro-Prussian War (1866) and France in the Franco-Prussian War (1870/1871).
A bronze sculpture of Victoria was added.
Victoria was  high and weighed 35 tonnes.
Berliners like to give nicknames to famous buildings.
They call the statue Goldelse, meaning something like "Golden Lizzy".
She also has the nickname of "Chick on a Stick".
The column was built in the Königsplatz, now the Platz der Republik, in front of the Reichstag building.
It had three blocks of sandstone decorated by cannons taken from the enemies in the three wars.
In 1938 the column was moved to its present location, and a fourth ring, decorated with golden garlands was added.
Around the base are four bronze reliefs showing the three wars and the winning army marching into Berlin.
They were made by four Berlin sculptors:
Moritz Schulz (1825 – 1904)
Karl Keil (1838 – 1889)
Alexander Calandrelli (1834-1903)
and Albert Wolff (1814 – 1892)
These reliefs were taken away in 1945.
The French occupying army did not want to remind Germans about old victories.
French president François Mitterrand returned the reliefs in time for Berlin's 750th anniversary of Berlin.
The monument is now on the Großer Stern (Great Star).
Many roads meet here, so there are four tunnels under the roads to the monument, and it is possible to climb the steps inside the column and look out over Berlin.
If the Nazis had not moved the column it would probably have been destroyed in World War II.
The column is in Wim Wenders' film Wings of Desire.
In the film it is the place where angels meet.
The golden statue on the column was in the music video to U2's "Stay (Faraway, So Close!)"
and inspired Paul van Dyk's 1998 trance music hit, "For an Angel".
The old district was changed in 1970 and 1975.
It now includes the city of Witten.
In the middle of the coat of arms there is the checked red-white bar of the medieval state of Mark, which owned the area in medieval times.
The two wavy lines above and below are for the two rivers which gave the district its name, the Ruhr and the Ennepe.
Schwelm is in the southeast of the Ruhr Area of Germany.
