The 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami train wreck was the largest single rail disaster in history (by death toll).
It was caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Train #50, the Matara Express, also known as the "Queen of the Sea" line, was a regular train between the Sri Lankan capital Colombo and Matara.
The train, overcrowded with 1800+ passengers, left Colombo on 26 December 2004.
Tsunami strikes the train
At 9:30 am in the village of Peraliya, the beach saw the gigantic waves arriving towards.
The first wave flooded the carriages and caused panic among the passengers.
The next wave arrived after 10 minutes.
It was huge and washed away the train and smashed it against trees and houses which were nearby.
The huge waves of tsunami had destroyed the train and only 150 passengers out of 1800+ survived.
About 1700 were reported dead, even though only 900 bodies were recovered.
The  Sri Lankan authorities do not know where the train was washed to.
After 4 pm, Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa's helicopter identified it.
Even though rescue operations was held not more than 150 people survived and the village was also washed away by the deadly waves.

The Charlottetown Conference was a conference about the Canadian Confederation.
The representatives of the unions in British North America were present at the conference.
The meeting took place in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island from September 1st to September 9th 1864.
The purpose of the conference was to discuss the future of the maritime provinces in what later became Canada.
The maritime provinces were Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland.
The national anthem of Saudi Arabia, which can be known by its incipit "Hasten!" (
سارعي Sâregħi), was first adopted in 1950.
A few years before, this song was a present given by the Fâruq of Egypt to King Abdulaziz when he visited Egypt.
It was composed by Abdol-Raħman al-Xaṭib, which was then rearranged by Serâġ Omar.
Later in 1984, ‘Ebrâhim Xafâġi wrote the lyrics to the song; in the same year, the anthem was officially readopted with the lyrics.
Official Arabic lyrics since 1984
Hasten!
To glory and supremacy,
Exalt the Creator of heavens!
And raise the green flag
Carrying the written light of aegis;
Repeat: "Allahu Akbar!"
O my country!
My country,
As pride of Muslims live on!
For the flag
And the land!
Agave nectar (also called agave syrup) is a sweetener produced from several species of agave, including blue agave (Agave tequilana).

Most agave syrup comes from Mexico and South Africa.
Chuvash (, Čăvašla; ) is a Turkic language.
It is spoken in Chuvashia, a part of central Russia.
It is the only language from the Oghur branch of the Turkic languages that is still spoken today.
Though many Turkic languages can be understood by different speakers, Chuvash is quite different.
Chuvash is written using the Cyrillic script.
Its alphabet has all of the letters of the Russian alphabet and adds four letters of its own: Ӑ, Ӗ, Ҫ and Ӳ.

A playback singer is a singer whose singing is pre-recorded for use in movies.
Playback singers record songs for soundtracks.
The actors or actresses lip-sync the songs for cameras.
The actual singer does not appear on screen.
South Asian movies produced in the Indian subcontinent are particularly known for using this technique.
A majority of Indian movies as well as Pakistani movies typically include six or seven songs.
Popular playback singers in India enjoy the same status as popular actors.
Most of the playback singers are initially trained in classical music.
Mohammed Rafi and Ahmed Rushdi are regarded as two of the most influential playback singers in South Asia.

On June 6, 1981, a train crashed in Bihar, India.
It was carrying more than 800 passengers, traveling between Mansi railway station and Saharsa railway station.
It derailed and fell into the River Bagmati while it was crossing the bridge over the river.
Five days after the accident only 200 out of 800 passengers had been recovered as dead bodies with hundreds more people missing.
The missing passengers were thought to have been washed away by the River Bagmati.
Total deaths were listed as 500-800.
This derailment stands in 4th place in the worst railway accidents by death toll in the world.
Many reasons were given for this railway derailment accident.
Brake failure while trying to avoid hitting a water buffalo
Flash floods
Train derailment
Firozabad rail disaster is the second most worst rail accident in India after the Bihar train derailment.
It occurred on 20 August 1995 near Firozabad, Uttar Pradesh, India.
The crash happened at 02:55 when a passenger train named Kalindi Express from Kanpur Railway station collided with Purushottam Express from Puri.
At first the Kalindi Express from Kanpur Railway station struck a cow but was unable to proceed further as its brakes were damaged.
Next the Purushottam Express from Puri struck the Kalindi Express behind with a speed of 70 kph.
The last three carriages of the Kalindi Express and two carriages along with the engine of Purushottam Express were destroyed.
About 358 passengers were killed.

William Gordon Welchman (15 June 1906, Bristol – 8 October 1985, Newburyport, Massachusetts) was a  Second World War codebreaker at Bletchley Park.
He was a British mathematician, university professor, and author.
Welchman was one of four early recruits to Bletchley park (the others being Alan Turing, Hugh Alexander and Stuart Milner-Barry).
They were also the four signatories to the letter to Winston Churchill in October 1941, asking for more resources for the code-breaking work at Bletchley Park.
Churchill responded with one of his 'Action This Day' written comments.
Welchman's main work at Bletchley was "traffic analysis" of encrypted German communications.
This is, first, looking for an increase in signals.
Major events in warfare are signalled in advance by a huge increase in messages.
Second, there are standardized parts of a message, such as message origination, message destination, time/date information, and so on.
These are much easier to decipher than the actual message content.
Welchman developed this approach.
Today we describe this as "metadata" analysis.
Welchman helped improve Alan Turing's design of the Polish electromechanical Enigma-cipher-breaking machine, the bombe.
Welchman's 'diagonal board', made the device much more efficient in the attack on the ciphers of the German Enigma machine.
Bombes became the main mechanical aid in breaking Enigma ciphers during the war.
They speeded up the search for current wheel order settings being used with the Enigma machines.
The settings were changed often, initially at least once per day.
Welchman was initially head of Hut Six, the section at Bletchley Park responsible for breaking German Army and Air Force Enigma ciphers.
During his time at Bletchley, Welchman opposed engineer Tommy Flowers' efforts on the Colossus computer (the world's first programmable electronic computer) because Colossus used vacuum tubes.
Welchman moved to the United States in 1948 where he taught the first computer course at MIT in the United States.
He followed this by employment with Remington Rand and Ferranti.
Welchman became a naturalised American citizen in 1962.
In that year, he joined the MITRE Corporation, working on secure communications systems for the US military.
He retired in 1971 but was retained as a consultant.
In 1982 his book The Hut Six Story was published, initially by McGraw-Hill in the US and by Allen Lane in Britain.
The British Secret Service objected, and so did the National Security Agency.
The book was not banned but Welchman lost his security clearance (and therefore his consultancy with MITRE).
He was forbidden to discuss with the media either the book or his wartime work.
Welchman died in 1985; his final conclusions and corrections to the story of wartime code breaking were published posthumously in 1986 in the paper 'From Polish Bomba to British Bombe: the birth of Ultra' in Intelligence & National Security, Vol 1, No l. The entire paper was included in the revised edition of The Hut Six Story published in 1997 by M & M Baldwin.
Accession is the attainment or acquisition of a position of rank or power, typically that of monarch or president.
"the queen's accession to the throne".
Accession day is a celebration.
It is usually the anniversary of when a monarch takes office.
The earliest record of accession celebrations are from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England.
Accession is not the same as coronation or inauguration.
Coronation and inauguration are both ceremonies which take place after the accession.
Charkhi Dadri mid-air collision occurred on 12 November 1996 over the village of Charkhi Dadri in Haryana, India.
The collision happened between Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747-100B from Delhi to Dhahran(Saudi Arabia) and Kazakhstan Airlines Illyushin II-76 from Chimkent, Kazakhstan to Delhi.
SVA763 (Saudi Arabian Airlines Boeing 747-100B) departed from Delhi International Airport to Dhahran at 18:35.
KZA1907 (Kazakhstan Airlines Illyushin II-76) was descending to Delhi airport at the same time.
Both flights were controlled by VK Dutta.
KZA1907 was cleared to descend 15,000 feet altitude, whereas SVA763 was cleared to climb to 14,000feet.
After 8 min, KZA1907 reported that they reached 15000 ft altitude, but they were descending to 14,500 ft at that time and were continuing the descent.
Not noticing it, soon the KZA1907's tail cut through SVA763's left wing.
The Boieng of SVA763 lost control and went into a descending spiral and hit the ground at 1135 kmph.
The Ilyushin remained structurally intact as it went in a steady but rapid and uncontrolled descent until it crashed in a field.
In the end, all 312 people on board SVA763 and all 37 people on KZA1907 were killed.
The collision took place about  west of Delhi.
The wreckage of the Saudi aircraft crashed near Dhani village, Bhiwani District, Haryana.
The wreckage of the Kazakh aircraft hit the ground near Birohar village, Rohtak District, Haryana.
The crash was investigated by the Lahoti Commission, headed by then-Delhi High Court judge Ramesh Chandra Lahoti.
The flight data recorders were decoded by Kazakhstan Airlines and Saudi Airlines under the supervision of air crash investigators in Moscow and Farnborough, England, respectively.
The commission determined that the accident had been the fault of the Kazakh Il-76 commander, who had descended from the assigned altitude of  and subsequently  and even lower.
The report says that the cause of this serious problem in operating procedure was due to the lack of English language skills on the part of the Kazakh aircraft pilots; they were dependent entirely on their radio operator for communications with the ATC.
Just a few seconds from impact, the Kazakh plane climbed slightly and the two planes collided.
This was because the radio operator of Kazakhstan 1907 discovered only then that they were not at 15,000 feet and asked the pilot to climb.
The tail of the Kazakh plane clipped the left wing of the Saudi jet, severing both parts from their respective planes.
The disaster was again the subject of an episode in the documentary series Mayday (TV series) on 2 March 2009 entitled "Sight Unseen", in a wide-screen format with sophisticated computer animations on National Geographic Channel.
Church of the Company Fire is the largest fire accident ever by death toll in the world.
It occurred on 1863 December 8 in Santiago, Chile.
About 2000 to 3000 people are said to have been killed in the fire accident.
Church of the Company of Jesus was a Jesuit church located in Santiago, Chile.
The day of the fire was the celebration of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception.
The fire started at 7 P.M. when an oil lamp had ignited the place and it got fire.
About 2000-3000 people inside the church got roasted in the massive fire accident.
The cleanup of the bodies took about ten days, and since most of the bodies were burned beyond recognition, they were placed in a mass grave at the Cementerio General de Santiago.
A Santiago newspaper printed the names of over 2,000 known victims, and the same paper also printed a list of the objects saved by the priests and their value, which led to public outcry against the priests who had saved valuable objects but not people.
The tragedy, and the fact that one of the contributing factors was the lack of an organized fire-brigade, motivated José Luis Claro y Cruz to organize the first Volunteer Firemen's Corps in Santiago, on December 20 of the same year.
Fire brigades in Chile, even today, are still made up only of unpaid volunteers.
New fire regulations also resulted, and the tragedy contributed to the partial secularization of Chilean government over the next two decades.
The 1931 China floods or the 1931 Yellow River Floods were a series of floods that occurred in China in the year 1931.
It is the most deadly natural disaster by death toll.
About 1,000,000-3.7 million people were said to be dead in this series of floods.
In the period of 1928-30 China faced a severe drought.
Due to some abnormal weather conditions heavy snowstorms and heavy rainfall occurred in parts of central China.
The water levels increased in the rivers.
The rain grew heavier in July and August in 1931.
China faced nine cyclones in July 1931 alone.
Chinese sources say 1,000,000 died due to the overflow of the Yangtze River.
Western sources say a death toll of 3.7 million-4 million people.
In July alone, four weather stations along the Yangtze River reported rain totaling over  for the month.
The Yangtze and Huai River floods soon reached Nanjing, the capital of China at the time.
Millions died of drowning while some died due to starvation, from waterborne diseases such as cholera and typhus.
The high-water mark was reached on 19 August at Hankou town in Wuhan, with the water level exceeding  above normal.
On the evening of 25 August 1931, the water rushing through the Grand Canal washed away dikes near Gaoyou Lake.
Some 200,000 people drowned in their sleep in the resulting deluge.
The Trans-Siberian Orchestra is an American progressive rock group.
They were founded around 1996.
They became popular around 1999.
This was when they began touring with their second studio album, The Christmas Attic.
Both Billboard Magazine and Pollstar ranked them as one of the top ticket-selling groups in the first decade of the new millennium.
Great Chinese Famine was a great famine in China from 1958 to 1961.
Drought, poor weather and some of the policies of the Communist Party of China were among the reasons of the three years of famine.
This also further resulted in the Great Leap Forward movement.
According to the government's statistics the total death toll is 15 million people.
Historian Frank Dikotter, having been granted special access to Chinese archival materials, estimates that there were at least 45 million premature deaths from 1958 to 1962, although far from all these deaths came about as a result of starvation.
The Great Chinese Famine was caused by a combination of adverse weather conditions, social pressure, economic mismanagement, and radical changes in agriculture imposed by government regulations.
Mao Zedong, chairman of the Chinese communist party, introduced drastic changes in farming which prohibited farm ownership.
Failure to abide by the policies led to persecution.
The social pressure imposed on the citizens in terms of farming and business, which the government controlled, led to state instability.
Owing to the laws passed during the period and Great Leap Forward during 1958–1962, according to government statistics, about 36 million people died in this period.
The Navy of the Confederate States (CSN) was the Navy of the Confederate States of America.
After the Confederacy established itself in 1861, the elected president, Jefferson Davis appointed Stephen Mallory as his Secretary of the Confederate Navy.
At the time the South had no ships capable of challenging the United States Navy's frigates.
It did not have the shipbuilding capability or the raw materials necessary to build a navy.
While they had limited resources, and did not have the firepower of the Union Navy, they developed a number of technologies.
The Confederates developed naval mines, ironclad techniques and managed to sink a Union warship with a working submarine.
The Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, won the 1860 presidential election.
After the election seven Southern states seceded and declared their independence from the Union.
They formed the Confederate States of America, even before Lincoln became president on March 4, 1861.
The outgoing U.S. president, James Buchanan, said this was against the law, but did nothing to stop them.
Lincoln and his Republican party treated this secession as a rebellion.
Fighting started when the Confederates bombarded Fort Sumter, a Union Army fort.
Lincoln called for 75,000 volunteers for a period of 90 days.
He also set up a blockade of the Southern coast and ports.
Lincoln had no more than 40 usable warships and needed to start building up his Navy.
This was to prevent the South from exporting its cotton and importing the war materials they needed to wage war.
The North also needed to develop a fleet of gunboats for a "brown-water navy".
This was to support the Union Army in operations around major rivers like the Mississippi.
Norfolk shipyard
In 1861, Virginia joined the Confederate States of America.
Fearing that the Confederacy would take control of the facility, the shipyard commander Charles Stewart McCauley ordered the burning of the shipyard.
At the time it was called the Gosport Navy Yard.
Despite conflicting orders from the Secretary of the Navy, the resignation of many of his officers, and most of his yard workers leaving, his remaining men began destroying the shipyard.
Ships that could not leave on their own were burned.
This included the Union warship USS Merrimack.
Finally the two men who were placing explosives to blow up the dry dock were captured before they could finish their work.
The Confederates were able to repair Gosport and make it a working shipyard again.
The capture of the shipyard allowed a tremendous amount of war material to fall into Confederate hands.
In all, 1,195 heavy guns were taken and used by the Confederacy.
They were used in many areas from Hampton Roads all the way to Fort Donelson Tennessee.
When they left the shipyard, the Union forces withdrew to Fort Monroe across Hampton Roads.
This was the only land in the area which remained under Union control.
In early 1862, the Confederate ironclad warship CSS Virginia was rebuilt using the burned-out hulk of the USS Merimack.
In the haste to abandon the shipyard, the Merrimack had only been destroyed above the waterline.
The Confederates built an armored superstructure over the burned out hull.
In March and April of 1862 the Confederate ironclad came close to upsetting the Union Navy's superiority.
At Hampton Roads, the Virginia began sinking the blockading Union warships almost at will.
The fleet was saved by the arrival of the Union ironclad USS Monitor which engaged the Virginia at the Battle of Hampton Roads.
But after hours of fighting neither ship was able to defeat the other.
Both ships left the fight claiming the victory.
The Confederate Navy had two more ironclads under construction.
But before they could be completed the Union fleet captured the port and city of New Orleans where they were being built.
Commerce raiders
The Confederate Navy realized the Union Navy had more ships, guns and men they had with their limited resources.
This called for a change in strategy.
First, they would build forts to guard their key rivers and ports.
They would build gunboats to assist this effort.
Secondly, the South set up a fleet of naval vessels to attack Union merchant ships at sea.
They also commissioned privateers to help with this effort.
This was not a new concept.
The Americans had been successful using commerce raiding against British merchant ships during the American Revolutionary War.
Outgunned by the Union Navy they realized building lighter and faster cruisers would allow them to outrun the larger warships and go after the slower and usually unarmed merchant ships.
Because the South had little shipbuilding capacity, they had these ships built in Great Britain.
This was technically illegal, since Great Britain was a neutral country.
So these ships had to be built in secret.
CSS Florida, was the first of the commerce raiders built in England.
She sailed from Liverpool as the Orto and was commissioned the CSS Florida on August 17, 1862 in the Bahamas.
She captured 37 merchant ships and two of those were converted into commerce raiders.
Together they took another 23 ships.
She was illegally captured by the USS Wachusett in the neutral port of Bahia, Brazil.
CSS Alabama, captured 65 merchant ships in a 22-month period of time.
It burned 52 of them, sold 10 and converted one into another commerce raider, the USS Tuscaloosa.
It also sank a US gunboat, the USS Hatteras, the only Union ship lost on the open seas to a Confederate raider.
She was sunk in a battle with the USS Kearsarge outside the port of Cherbourg, France.
CSS Jefferson Davis, one of the most successful raiders with nine Northern merchant vessels taken in a two month period.
She was a 187-ton former slave ship.
The Davis was sunk in a gale off St. Augustine, Florida with all but two of her prize ships.
CSS Sumter, was a steam cruiser built in Philadelphia in 1859.
She was purchased by the Confederate government at New Orleans in 1861 and commissioned the Sumter.
In six months she captured 18 US merchant ships.
Of these she burned 8 and released or bonded 9.
She was blocked by US warships in the port of Gibraltar.
While there a number of US warships took turns keeping her from leaving the port.
She was sold at auction 19 December 1862, but continued as a Confederate blockade runner renamed the Gibraltar and flying a British flag.
She kept a number of US warships tied up hunting her and keeping her in port.
The Confederacy also issued a Letter of marque to any private ship captain who wanted to make a profit raiding United States merchant vessels.
At first the risk was low and they kept the ship and its cargo much the same as pirates did.
The owner and crew divided up the large profits.
They avoided doing battle with Union warships and were usually fast enough to outrun them.
There was only one problem with the scheme.
In the Paris Declaration Respecting Maritime Law signed in 1865, privateering was outlawed.
All privateers were considered pirates and were subject to the death penalty when they were captured.
Even though the United States had not signed the agreement, President Lincoln declared Confederate privateers were pirates and pirates were subject to death.
This didn't stop a number of enterprising Southerners from outfitting a ship and getting involved in piracy on the high seas.
One of the first ships seized actually hurt the South.
It was a cargo of fruit going to the port of New Orleans.
Soon the illegal privateers were taking cargo ships in the Gulf of Mexico and all up and down the East Coast of the United States.
An early Union victory was the capture of the CSS Savannah which had just been out to sea two days.
The crew quickly found themselves on trial for piracy.
The Confederacy threatened to hang captured Northern seamen if the crew was executed.
In the end, the Union court dropped the charges of piracy and held the crew as prisoners of war.
The crew was later traded in a prisoner exchange.
Torpedo service
A modern torpedo is a cigar-shaped, self-propelled, underwater explosive device designed to destroy another ship or submarine.
During the Civil War, what was then called a torpedo would be best described as a naval mine.
Confederate president Davis was opposed to their use.
He thought they were cowardly weapons and it was unethical to use them against anyone.
Despite Davis' objections, the Congress of the Confederate States passed a law authorizing rewards for anyone inventing new ways to blow up enemy vessels using submersibles and mines.
In St. Louis, Missouri Confederates were hiding explosives in the firewood used to fuel the boilers of Union steamships on the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers.
In 1861, Matthew Fontaine Maury first used mines as a weapon against enemy ships.
In Virginia, his "infernal machines" made the James River almost completely impassible.
Another invention was the coal torpedo.
Disguised to look like a lump of coal it exploded when shoveled into a boiler.
Another invention was called the "horological torpedo".
It had a timer that allowed a delay in the explosion.
They also developed better fuses and more powerful explosives.
Underwater mines were used by both sides.
The Confederacy had more success.
In 1862 Confederate mines sank the Union ironclad, the USS Cairo.
The destroyed or damaged dozens more Union ships while Union torpedo mines sank only about six Confederate naval ships.
Singer Secret Service Corps
The Confederate secretary of war, James Seddon, decided to issue rules that "passenger vessels of citizens of the United States on the high seas and private property on the water and [on] railroads or within the territory of the United States … not be subject of operations."
But he added, "The public property of the enemy may be destroyed wherever it may be found."
Seddon hired up to 25 secret agents to place torpedoes and explosives wherever they could across the Confederacy.
Known as the "Singer Secret Service Corps" and Singer's Torpedo Company", they were a group of middle age Freemasons from a wide variety of backgrounds.
They developed and used inventions such as torpedo boats, underwater mines and submarines during the last two years of the war.
Some of these inventions had never been seen before while others were advancements on earlier designs.
One of their main weapons was patented by Edgar C. Singer, the underwater contact mine.
It contained  of black powder.
They used up to seven different types of mines, torpedos, torpedo boats, and submarines.
They built the submersible H. L. Hunley.
This submarine destroyed the Union warship USS Housatonic by ramming it with a torpedo mounted on a pole.
From their headquarters in the Spotswood Hotel in Richmond, Virginia, Singer and his agents set up secret workshops all over the South in coastal cities.
During their two years of operations they blew up ships, trains, and railroad bridges killing a large number of people.
Most of their missions were done at night close to Union patrol boats and sentries.
Northern newspapers called Singer's inventions "infernal machines" and condemned their use as unchristian and assassinations of the worst kind.
To cover up who they were and what they had done, their records were burned at the end of the war.
They were constantly hunted as saboteurs and spies by Northern authorities.
Admiral David Dixon Porter ordered that any of Singer's agents were caught with any of these inventions they were to be "shot on the spot".
Names and descriptions of Singer's operatives were distributed by Union commanders.
One group, under the notorious Henry Dillingham, was sent by Davis near the end of the war to occupied Kentucky and Missouri to destroy a key bridge and any federal transportation they could.
They were known to use the "coal torpedos" and several sources say one was used to blow up the Sultana in April 1865.
It was in the area Dillingham was operating in and it was ferrying ex-confederate prisoners of war at the time it was destroyed.

Cognitive impairment (also called cognitive deficit) is a condition in which mental functioning is not good.
The term "cognitive impairment" may mean problems with intelligence, like intellectual disability (also called "mental deficiency").
It may also mean specific problems, such as learning disability, slow learning or dyslexia.
Borderline intelligence (also called borderline intellectual functioning or borderline mental disability) is a category of intelligence in which a person has lower than normal mental ability.
IQ levels in this case are between 70 and 85.
It is not as bad as intellectual disability (IQ 69 and under).

David Evan McMullin (born on April 2, 1976) is a former CIA operations officer and independent presidential candidate.
He ran for office as an independent in the 2016 United States presidential election.
He calls himself a conservative alternative to the main presidential candidates.
McMullin did not win any states in the election, but he performed well in Utah, where he got 20% of the popular vote.
McMullin was born on 2 April 1976 in Provo, Utah, to David McMullin and Lanie Bullard.
At a young age, his family moved to a rural area outside of Seattle, Washington, where his father worked as a computer scientist and his mother sold bulk foods to neighbors from the family's garage.
2016 Presidential campaign
On 8 August 2016, McMullin announced that he would run as a candidate for President of the United States in the 2016 presidential election as an independent.
He decided to run because he saw Donald Trump as being an unfit conservative candidate.
McMullin had the support of several anti-Trump Republican donors.
McMullin's campaign was supported by some members of the "Never Trump" movement.
After the 2016 campaign
After the 2016 campaign, McMullin became a strong critic of Trump and Putin.
In a December 2016, op-ed, McMullin blasted Trump as a threat to American constitutional government, saying that the president-elect's actions were "consistent with the authoritarian playbook" and "undermined critical democratic norms including peaceful debate and transitions of power, commitment to truth, freedom from foreign interference and abstention from the use of executive power for political retribution."
To answer if there was any possibility of him running for Jason Chaffetz's seat in 2018, he said: "It is likely that I will seek public office again.
That might be in 2018 or it might be sometime down the road, perhaps very far down the road.
I genuinely just don't know yet.
I'm very focused on things that I think need to be done ASAP and Mindy Finn and I, with our team at Stand Up Republic, advancing them now.
It is possible that I will challenge Chaffetz or Senator Hatch, but there are a lot of factors that go into that decision."
In the end, he did not run for either office.
Below is a table showing his performance in various states.
He did not win any state, so subsequently, he did not win any electoral votes.
McMullin is against abortion.
He also wants to overturn Roe v. Wade.
He said that we would want to reduce unintended pregnancies and promote adoption.
He believes in the "traditional marriage between a man and a woman," but "respects" the Obergefell v. Hodges decision (which allowed same-sex marriage nationwide) and wants to "move on" from the issue.
McMullin supports free trade, and believes that it has a lot of benefits.
He supports NAFTA and the proposed Trans-Pacific Partnership.
He also wants to reduce the corporate tax, individual income tax.
and the estate tax.
McMullin is one of the few conservatives in the United States who believes in climate change that is caused by humans.
He said,"I do believe that the climate is changing, and I do believe that human activity is contributing to it.
If I were president, I would increase investment in technologies that can help us limit and decrease our carbon emissions."
McMullin supports the part of Obamacare that doesn't allow health insurance companies to deny coverage against people with preexisting conditions.
However, he also said that "we also need to do better than ObamaCare."
He believes that Donald Trump, the Republican candidate, has an "allegiance to Russian President Vladimir Putin."
McMullin accused Putin of trying to destabilize European and North American countries "through fomenting discord between different racial groups, different ethnic groups and different religious groups."

Bulgogi is a Korean dish.
It is usually made of grilled beef which has been soaked in sauce for a long time.
Bulgogi is believed to have come from Goguryeo, one of the three kingdoms of ancient Korea.
It was called "Maekjeok" at first.
In the Joseon dynasty, it was called "Neobiani" which means 'thinly spread'.
There are a lot of essential nutrients in bulgogi.
In bulgogi, there are lots of lysine, which is an Essential amino acid.
It help children's growth and development.
They is the third person plural pronoun in English, used to describe a subject.
The object form is "them". "
They" can be used for both people or objects.
'They' can also be used for the singular third person if the gender of the person is unknown, or to purposely be ambiguous.
Singular 'they' is conjugated the same way as the plural form, similar to the matching conjugations of the plural and singular 'you' in English.
Singular 'they' is never used for objects, only people.
It is an area with low, flat, occasionally flooded land, between large sand dunes.
Despite abundant rain, it has almost no vegetation.
With large, white, sweeping dunes, Lençóis Maranhenses looks like a typical desert, but in fact it is not one.
Being just outside the Amazon Basin, the region gets a regular rainy season in first half of the year.
When it rains, fresh water collects in the valleys between sand dunes.
The water is prevented from sinking down by a layer of rock underneath the sand.
This results in blue, green and black lagoons surrounded by the desert-like sand.
The lagoons are at their fullest their fullest between July and September.
When the lagoons are full, they are interconnected to rivers such as the Rio Negro.
From the river, large numbers of fish arrive.
One species of fish, however, is resident.
The wolf fish or tiger fish (Hoplias malabaricus) stays dormant in the mud and moist areas after most of the water has evaporated, re-emerging during the next rainy season.
Military gliders (a variation of the common glider) have been used by the military of various countries for carrying troops and heavy equipment into a war zone.
They were used mainly during the Second World War.
These aircraft with no engines were towed into the air and most of the way to their target by military transport planes.
One of the most popular tow aircraft was the C-47 Skytrain or Dakota.
They could also be towed by bombers.
Once released from the tow craft near the front lines, they were to land on any convenient open terrain close to their target.
They tried to landed with as little damage as possible to the cargo and crew as possible.
But most landing zones (LZ) were far from ideal.
The one-way nature of the missions meant that military gliders were treated as being disposable.
This is why they were made from common and inexpensive materials such as wood.
They were unarmored, fragile, aircraft with crude steering and no brakes.
This is why a large number of them crashed on landing.
Troops landing by glider were referred to as airborne infantry.
Pilots called themselves "tow targets" while the soldiers referred to the gliders as "flying coffins."
Casualties for some missions ran as high as 40%.
Gilders had certain advantages, however.
Paratroopers, soldiers landing by parachute, were usually spread over a large area.
They could easily be separated from other paratroopers and from air-dropped equipment, such as vehicles and anti-tank guns.
Gliders, on the other hand, could land troops and equipment precisely at the target landing area.
Once released from the tow aircraft, military gliders were silent and difficult for the enemy to identify.
Larger gliders were developed to land heavy equipment like anti-tank guns, anti-aircraft guns, small vehicles, such as jeeps, and also light tanks (e.g., the Tetrarch tank).
This heavier equipment made glider forces much more capable.
During World War II, the United States had about 6,000 trained glider pilots.
Some were given a second chance to fly as glider pilots after failing to complete conventional aircraft training.
The  Soviets also experimented with ways to deliver light tanks by air, including the Antonov A-40, a gliding tank with detachable wings.
By the time of the Korean War, helicopters had largely replaced gliders.
Helicopters have the advantage of being able to deliver and extract soldiers to and from the battlefield with more precision.
Also, modern advances allow even light tanks to be dropped by parachute.
Only special forces use gliders for silent, small-scale insertion today.
The Act creates a general right of access, on request, to information held by public authorities.
That means any member of the public may demand that withheld information about them is released to them.
About 120,000 requests are made each year.
Private citizens made 60% of them, with businesses and journalists accounting for 20% and 10% respectively.
The Act cost £35.5 million in 2005.
Cannabis, also known as marijuana or Cannabis sativa and among other names, is a psychoactive drug from the Cannabis plant used for medical or recreational purposes.
The main psychoactive part of cannabis is tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), one of the 483 known compounds in the plant, including at least 65 other cannabinoids, which are chemicals only found in Cannabis.
Cannabis can be used by smoking, vaporizing, within food, or as an extract.
Cannabis is mostly used recreationally or as a medicinal drug, although like other psychoactive drugs it may also be used for spiritual purposes.
In 2013, between 128 and 232 million people used cannabis (2.7% to 4.9% of the global population between the ages of 15 and 65).
It is the most commonly used illegal drug in the world, though it is legal in some jurisdictions, with the highest use among adults () in Zambia, the United States, Canada, and Nigeria.
Marijuana plants are grouped into 3 categories: Sativa, Indica, and Hybrid.
A hybrid is a combination of Sativa and Indica.
These 3 categories are then divided and categorized more into different strains.
Strains are minor differences in how you feel when you use Cannabis.
Some of the most famous and well-known strains of marijuana are: Acapulco Gold, Gelato, Grape Ape, White Widow, Purple Haze, Skunk and G13.

Canto as armas e o grande Lusitano
Que, desde a ocidental extrema parte,
Aonde o Sol se levanta do oceano
Levou das Quinas santas o estandarte
E (castigado o pérfido tirano)
A cidade ganhou, por força e arte,
Do áureo reino, e trocou com pio exemplo
A profana mesquita em sacro templo.

The Bielski partisans were a group of Jewish partisans (an irregular military group) who fought against the Nazis during World War II.
They rescued Jews from extermination.
They fought against the Nazis, who had taken over Poland.
They also fought against people who cooperated with the Nazis.
They lived and fought around Nowogródek (Navahrudak) and Lida in Poland (now western Belarus).
They were named after the Bielskis, a family of Polish Jews who led the group.
Under the Bielski partisans' protection, 1,236 Jews survived the war.
This was one of many remarkable rescue missions in the Holocaust.
The group spent more than two years living in the forests and was initially organised by members of the Bielski family.
The Bielski family were millers and grocers in Stankiewicze (Stankievichy) near Nowogródek.
At the beginning of WWII, this area belonged to the Second Polish Republic.
It was taken over by the Soviet Union in September 1939 (cf.
Polish September Campaign and Soviet invasion of Poland) as part of an agreement between Nazi Germany and Josef Stalin's Soviet Union that they would not fight each other.
The Bielski family served as low-level administrators in the new government set up by the Soviets.
This made many local Poles unhappy, because they saw the Soviets as occupiers.
On 22 June 1941, Nazi Germany began Operation Barbarossa and invaded the Soviet Union.
Nowogródek became a Jewish ghetto.
The Nazis took over and began their genocidal policies in Poland and Belarus.
The Bielski's parents and older family members were killed in the ghetto on 8 December 1941.
The four Bielski brothers - Tuvia, Alexander (also known as "Zus"), Asael, and Aron Bielski - managed to escape to the nearby forest.
Together with 13 neighbours from the ghetto, they formed their partisan combat group in the spring of 1942.
Originally, about forty people were in the group, but it grew quickly.
The oldest brother, Tuvia, was the group's commander.
Tuvia had served in the Polish Army from 1927 to 1929, rising to the rank of corporal.
He sent people to sneak into the ghettos in the area, recruiting new members to join the group in the Naliboki Forest.
Hundreds of men, women and children eventually found their way to the Bielski camp.
At its largest, 1,236 people belonged to the group.
Seven out of every ten members were women, children, or elderly.
No one was turned away.
About 150 group members used weapons to fight the Nazis and the people who cooperated with them.
The partisans lived in underground dugouts (zemlyankas) or bunkers.
In their forest camp, they built many things, including:
A kitchen and a bakery
A mill
A bathhouse
A medical clinic for sick and injured people
A quarantine hut for people with infectious diseases like typhus, to keep them separate from healthy people and prevent them from getting others sick
Members of the group did many different jobs.
