Detailed Instructions: In this task, you are given a text of many news articles seperated by special token "|||||". Your task is to summarize them.
Q: It is an extraordinary shift in the relationship between the companies and Washington. But a lot has happened in the last four years, notably the $80 billion federal bailout of General Motors , Chrysler and scores of their suppliers, which removed any itch for a politically charged battle from the carmakers.
And the auto companies have gotten a lot better at building popular small cars that are fuel efficient — thanks to gas-electric hybrids and advances in battery technology — and consumers are responding. Six of the 10 best-selling vehicles in America are small or midsize cars, and one of the most popular pickup models on the market is a Ford F-Series with a high-mileage, six-cylinder engine.
Still, the industry’s meek acceptance of what are considered extremely challenging fuel-economy goals is a marked retreat from years past, when the companies argued that consumers would not be willing to pay for the technology needed to meet higher mileage requirements.
“The auto companies’ level of vitriol and rhetoric has changed,” said Dan Becker, director of the Safe Climate Campaign, a group that works to mitigate global warming . “We welcome all epiphanies.”
The new mind-set in Detroit has been helped by some give and take on the government’s side. G.M., Ford and Chrysler pressed for less onerous mileage goals for their profitable pickup trucks and got them. And the administration agreed to revisit the new requirements halfway through their course, with the possibility of adjusting them.
In the end, though, Detroit was faced with an undeniable political reality: there was no graceful way to say no to an administration that just two years ago came to its aid financially.
“This was no time to fight these regulations,” said one Detroit executive, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the nature of the closed-door negotiations. “And you’re starting to see these fundamental shifts in the market that play a huge role in this,” the executive said in advance of Friday's announcement.

Environmental groups find themselves in the unusual position of lauding the automakers for making fuel economy a priority in virtually all their newest products, from the tiniest subcompact to the heaviest pickup.

“These proposed standards can be met using well-known technologies such as better engines, lower-cost hybrids and electric cars ,” said Roland Hwang, transportation program director at the Natural Resources Defense Council .
The proposal introduced by the president calls for a 5 percent annual increase in fuel economy for cars from 2017 to 2025. The gains are more modest for the light-truck category, which includes sport utility vehicles — 3.5 percent a year through 2021, and then 5 percent annually in the next four years. The standards announced four years ago run through 2016, requiring a corporate average of 36 miles per gallon by then.

Over all, the new standards will require a 54.5 miles per gallon corporate average for 2025. That standard will be made more easily achievable by credits that automakers can earn by producing battery-powered vehicles, hybrids and alternative-fuel models. Details of how the credits will work have not yet been made public, but the intention is to encourage the development of cars with far lower emissions.
Initially, the White House floated a much more aggressive target of 62 miles per gallon by 2025. It reduced that twice before agreeing on the final number.
A crucial negotiator for the administration was Ron Bloom , one of the senior members of the president’s automotive task force that shepherded G.M. and Chrysler through taxpayer-financed bankruptcy reorganizations in 2009.
Detroit executives said Mr. Bloom’s relationships with the companies and his understanding of their current and future products were critical factors in bringing all the sides together. The parties included environmental and public health groups as well as the California Air Resources Board, which has historically set standards more aggressive than the federal ones.
“The really big part of this is the midpoint review,” said David Cole, chairman emeritus of the Center for Automotive Research, an auto industry research group in Ann Arbor , Mich. “By then everybody will have a better understanding of the cost of the technology, particularly the batteries.”
The automakers are confident that they can achieve incremental goals each year, but the real test will be if costs can be lowered enough so consumers will want to buy more electric and hybrid models.

“The standards are going to be quite stringent and a challenge,” said Scott Becker, a senior vice president in the United States for the Japanese automaker Nissan. “But given the range of technologies that we either have currently or are developing, we will be in a position to meet them.”
Support for the new standards by the Detroit and Asian carmakers will allow the administration to formally set forth the plan by the end of September, which will then be followed by a public comment period.
The White House has said the regulations will save drivers money at the pump in addition to reducing emissions. In the past, Detroit might have challenged the thesis, or forecast a negative impact on job growth. This time, the automakers’ trade group proposed radio ads that would have raised concerns about job losses, but the proposal was squelched by some of the companies, notably G.M. and Chrysler.
Instead, the automakers decided to sign on to the goal of 54.5 miles per gallon — and wait and see if it can be achieved down the road.
“These targets are far out there, but the economics need to work,” said Mr. Cole. “This is also the most aggressive environmental administration the industry has seen for a long time, and the companies have to get through this with them.” ||||| LATEST HEADLINES

Announcing new fuel-efficiency standards, President Obama hailed his administration’s deal with automakers as “the single most important step we’ve ever taken as a nation to reduce our dependence on foreign oil.” With mileage standards almost doubling, Americans will save some $8,000 per vehicle on fuel, the president said. The new requirements call for an average of 54.5 mpg for cars, light trucks, and SUVs by 2025, the Detroit Free Press reports. CEOs of the Big Three and some Asian automaker executives joined Obama for the ceremony. The deal could “revolutionize” the auto industry, writes Aaron Kessler at the Free Press, noting that it “likely will change how drivers shop for, interact with and think about cars and light trucks over the next 10 to 15 years.” The agreement marks “an extraordinary shift in the relationship between the companies and Washington,” with automakers offering a “meek acceptance” of tough new rules that a few years ago—before the auto bailout—they would have battled, writes Bill Vlasic in the New York Times.

After years of hearings and litigation, the Supreme Court of Hawaii on Tuesday approved a building permit for a giant telescope on the ancient, contested site of the volcano Mauna Kea. The Thirty Meter Telescope, as it is known, would be the largest ever contemplated in the Northern Hemisphere. Hawaiian activists have opposed it, saying that decades of telescope-building on Mauna Kea have polluted the mountain. Some of them went so far as to block construction vehicles from the mountain to prevent work on the telescope.

Input: VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - If anyone had any doubts how Pope Francis feels about people who always complain, the answer is now tacked to the door of his frugal suite in a Vatican residence: “No Whining”.
A placard reading, "No Whining" is seen on Pope Francis' room door in this undated picture posted on the Vatican Insider website. Under the explicit warning, the red-and-white Italian language sing goes on to say that "violators are subject to a syndrome of always feeling like a victim and consequent reduction of your sense of humour and capacity to solve problems". REUTERS/courtesy Vatican Insider-La Stampa
Under the explicit warning, the red-and-white Italian language sign goes on to say that “violators are subject to a syndrome of always feeling like a victim and the consequent reduction of your sense of humor and capacity to solve problems”.
A picture of the sign was posted on the Vatican Insider website and its presence on the pope’s door confirmed to Reuters by its editor-in-chief Andrea Tornielli, an author who is close to Francis and has interviewed him several times.
The sign is adorned with the international symbol for ‘no’ - a backslash in a circle.
It adds: “The penalty is doubled if the violation take place in the presence of children. To get the best out of yourself, concentrate on your potential and not on your limitations.”
Then the closing zinger: “Stop complaining and take steps to improve your life”.
The sign was given to the pope recently by Italian psychologist and self-help author Salvo Noe. Francis promised Noe he would put it up in his office for a laugh.
Francis has had no shortage of complainers in the Vatican and in the Church since his election in 2013. He has tried to steer the 1.2 billion-member Church on a more inclusive and merciful path, angering conservatives who say he his sowing doctrinal confusion.
One recent episode involved German Cardinal Gerhard Mueller, a German whom the pope removed last month from his post as Vatican doctrinal chief at the end of a five-year term.
Mueller, who disagrees with the pope on a number of issues, apparently expected his mandate to be renewed automatically.
Mueller later told a German newspaper that the way he was treated was “unacceptable”. ||||| Whingers, whiners and moaners have been put on notice by none other than Pope Francis, who has stuck a big sign to the front door of his Vatican apartment that reads: “Complaining is forbidden”.
The notice, in large white letters on a red background, appeared in recent days on the door that leads to the pontiff’s private rooms in Casa Santa Marta, the modest residence where he lives in the shadow of St Peter’s Basilica.
The good-humoured notice appears to be aimed at cardinals, priests and members of his staff who may be more inclined to bring problems than solutions to the leader of the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics.
Unlike his predecessors, who traditionally fled the torrid summer heat of Rome for the cooler environs of Castel Gandolfo, a papal residence in the Alban Hills outside the capital, Pope Francis eschews holidays and resolutely works through July and August.
The sign says that “offenders are subject to a syndrome of victimhood that reduces their sense of humour and capacity to solve problems.” |||||
Output:
|
Is Pope Francis getting tired of hearing about everyone's problems? Probably not, but a new sign posted on his apartment door at the Vatican warns there's "no whining" allowed inside. The sign was actually a kind of gag gift from Italian psychologist and self-help author Salvo Noe, who met the pope last month, reports the Telegraph. There's a more serious message behind the jokey order, with the sign warning that "violators are subject to a syndrome of always feeling like a victim and the consequent reduction of your sense of humor and capacity to solve problems," per Reuters. And it encourages complainers to try to fix their own problems.

Q: (CNN) -- Sevilla have sacked coach Manolo Jimenez after their disappointing home draw to bottom-club Xerez on Tuesday extended the club's winless run to seven games. Despite lying fifth in the Spanish Primera Liga table, Sevilla were knocked out of the lucrative European Champions League by Russian side CSKA Moscow last week. Jimenez had also secured a Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid but it wasn't enough to save the 46-year-old's job. The club's sporting director Ramon Rodriguez admitted the decision had been difficult but said he had "done what I had to." He told the club's official Web site: "It was an unavoidable situation and we had to find a solution, and the pain that it brings. "Tuesday was the end of the story but the decision comes from the image and dynamics of the team. Without doubt we are grateful to Manolo. He is an excellent professional, he has made all this possible and impossible. However it is obvious that he could not get a response out of the team. "Fortunately we believe that there is time. The growth and the ambition of the club is shown in the change of the manager. We are fighting for important things." Xerez's injury-time equaliser on Tuesday meant Sevilla's last league success was against Real Mallorca back in February. Ironically, it is Mallorca who occupy the much-coveted fourth spot in the table that guarantees Champions League football next season.

Input: A man missing since Thursday's Broncos game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High has been located and is safe, Denver police announced Tuesday night.
Police said on Twitter that Paul Kitterman, 53, was found in Pueblo, adding that any further information would have to come from his family. There was no immediate comment from the family.
Denver police stressed there was no indication of foul play and that charges were unlikely.
An officer at the Pueblo Police Department said they would have no comment regarding the situation; however, both The Pueblo Chieftain and KOAA-Channel 5 said Pueblo police confirmed that Kitterman was found Tuesday afternoon near Benfatti Furniture, on Freeway Road.
KRDO-Channel 13 reported that Pueblo police said Kitterman appeared to be in good health and was in a hotel, awaiting his family's arrival.
Chieftain reporter Ryan Severance said on Twitter that Pueblo police received a call from Kremmling police indicating Kitterman might be in Pueblo.
The search for Kitterman began after the Broncos' game against the San Diego Chargers.
By Tuesday, the story had spread to cable news and across the Internet.
Kitterman's stepson Jarod Tonneson told The Associated Press in an interview on Monday that Kitterman had not been seen since he left his seat to meet friends during halftime.
Tonneson filed a missing-persons report with Denver police.

The family and friends called local hospitals and detox centers, and taped fliers around Denver.
"We just don't know what else to do," Tonneson told The AP. "Paul is a simple guy. He doesn't like technology. He doesn't get into drama. He's just an easygoing guy."
"He was in a good mood, he was happy," Tia Bakke, a friend who was with him at the game, told 7News earlier this week. "I mean, his first Broncos game and he had his stepson with him down at the game. They'd been hunting all day. He was great,"
Kitterman was not carrying his cellphone or credit cards and had very little cash. ||||| Please enable Javascript to watch this video

Denver Police said Paul Kitterman, a 53-year-old from Kremmling, was found unharmed in Pueblo. Investigators also said there was no foul play suspected in the case.
Pueblo police say he was found outside of a Kmart store. They say he told them he wanted to get away and find someplace warm. Pueblo police say he was coherent. Paramedics checked him out and then they took him to a hotel.
Tia Bakke, one of Kitterman's friends, said they were on their way to Pueblo to pick him up late Tuesday night.
Kitterman was attending the game with his 20-year-old son and two family friends.
During halftime, Kitterman's son used the restroom and returned minutes later, unable to find his father.
“We were looking everywhere in parking lots, trees, bushes, anywhere we could think of,” Jarod Tonneson said Sunday.
Bakke, who gave Kitterman and his stepson, Jarod Tonneson, their tickets to the game and rode with the pair on the two-hour drive from Kremmling, said he was not intoxicated and he had no mental health issues, she said.
On Monday, Denver Police confirmed a witness spotted Kitterman inside the stadium during the third quarter. |||||
Output:
|
The 53-year-old man who mysteriously disappeared during halftime at a Denver Broncos game on Thursday was safely located more than 100 miles from the stadium last night, police announced. In a brief Twitter statement, they noted Paul Kitterman was found safe, that there were no indications of foul play, and that it would be "inappropriate" to comment. Questions were directed toward the family, who the Denver Post reports had no immediate comment. The owner of Pueblo's Benfatti Furniture called police after spotting Kitterman yesterday; he was later found outside a Kmart. Per KDVR and 9News, he reportedly told local police he had had enough football and wanted to get away and be in a warm place, but didn't explain how he got to Pueblo (it was previously reported that he had no credit cards on him.) He was described as coherent. A friend who rode with Kitterman and his stepson to the game says he wasn't drunk on Thursday and didn't have mental health issues. It was supposed to be the first game Kitterman saw with his stepson.

In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
[EX Q]: What was on the box of Nintendo games?, Context: To differentiate Nintendo's new home platform from the early 1980s' common perception of a troubled and shallow video game market, the company freshened its product nomenclature and positioning, and it established a strict product approval and licensing policy. The overall system was referred to as an "Entertainment System" instead of a "video game system", which was centered upon a machine called a "Control Deck" instead of a "console", and which featured software cartridges called "Game Paks" instead of "video games". The 10NES lockout chip system acted as a lock-and-key coupling of each Game Pak and Control Deck, deterring the copying or production of NES games which had not first achieved Nintendo's licensed approval. The packaging of the launch lineup of NES games bore pictures of a very close representation of the actual onscreen graphics of the game, which were of sufficiently recognizable quality on their own. Symbols on the launch games' packaging clearly indicated the genre of the game, in order to reduce consumer confusion. A 'seal of quality' was printed on all appropriately licensed game and accessory packaging. The initial seal stated, "This seal is your assurance that Nintendo has approved and guaranteed the quality of this product". This text was later changed to "Official Nintendo Seal of Quality".
[EX A]: pictures of a very close representation of the actual onscreen graphics of the game
[EX Q]: What did NBC delay for the west coast primetime?, Context: CBC's sports coverage has also attained high viewership in border markets, including its coverage of the NHL's Stanley Cup Playoffs, which was generally considered to be more complete and consistent than coverage by other networks such as NBC. Its coverage of the Olympic Games also found a significant audience in border regions, primarily due to the fact that CBC aired more events live than NBC's coverage, which had been criticized in recent years for tape delaying events to air in primetime, even if the event is being held in a market in the Pacific Time Zone during primetime hours on the East (where it would still be delayed for West coast primetime).
[EX A]: Olympic Games
[EX Q]: The Mahabharata stars the __, Context: The Kuru kingdom was the first state-level society of the Vedic period, corresponding to the beginning of the Iron Age in northwestern India, around 1200 – 800 BCE, as well as with the composition of the Atharvaveda (the first Indian text to mention iron, as śyāma ayas, literally "black metal"). The Kuru state organized the Vedic hymns into collections, and developed the orthodox srauta ritual to uphold the social order. When the Kuru kingdom declined, the center of Vedic culture shifted to their eastern neighbours, the Panchala kingdom. The archaeological Painted Grey Ware culture, which flourished in the Haryana and western Uttar Pradesh regions of northern India from about 1100 to 600 BCE, is believed to correspond to the Kuru and Panchala kingdoms.

How to spot a player
Watch out for over-confidence.
Healthy self-confidence is great, but there's a difference between being confident and being cocky. If you think this guy seems a little too confident in his efforts to win you over, it could be because he's had plenty of practice.

Most people become at least a little nervous around people they're attracted to. A confident guy isn't necessarily a player, but if he doesn't break a sweat while asking you out or seems rather aloof about the whole deal, he might not be that serious about you.

When Andrew goes home after baseball, he likes to eat a snack. He eats carrots and bananas. If he is a good boy his mom, Mrs. Smith, sometimes gives him milk and cookies. Afterwards, Andrew finishes his homework. <sep>Who does Timothy play with?<sep>Basketball and baseball

Problem: Neighborhood Legal Services, which provides free legal services to the poor, has expanded into the San Gabriel and Pomona valleys, areas with large Asian populations, many of whom speak limited or no English. Language is their biggest obstacle, but the Asian communities' cultural isolation and service providers' lack of cultural expertise also play a part, said NLS executive director Neal Dubovitz. And with 13 percent to 15 percent of the Asian population in the U.S. living below the poverty line, NLS services are badly needed, Dubovitz said. "Although it is a significant part of the poverty population, Asians historically have not been able to participate in the services and programs available to the poor," he said. From simple telephone advice to complete legal representation in court, the agency provides free consumer, health, family, immigration, housing, public benefits and labor legal services to people who earn under $1,380 per month. Legal service providers have long served large Latino populations, who have cultural diversity but share a common language. "I remember the days when there were only a handful of people in the legal offices who spoke Spanish," Dudovitz said. "Now Spanish and English are interchangeable. Our goal is to have that for the major Asian languages as well." Before the expansion, only a few NLS lawyers spoke Asian languages, said attorney Rebecca Yee, who was hired by NLS in April 2002 to design and head the project. "Now we have people speaking Cantonese, Mandarin, Thai, Khmer (from Cambodia), Korean, Vietnamese, Japanese and Tagalog," Yee said. One of the 13 attorneys hired to work with the program is Irene Mak, a family law attorney who speaks Cantonese, Mandarin and Thai. Mak was a partner at a private law firm before she went to work for NLS two years ago, earning up to $20,000 less a year working on domestic violence cases. "The job is more satisfying than the money," said Mak, who grew up in Hong Kong and Thailand before coming to the United States. "I could use my language skills and wanted to give back to the Asian community." NLS expanded when Legal Services Corp., the federal agency that funds providers of free legal services nationwide, reduced the number of grantees in the Los Angeles area from five to three, Dudovitz said. NLS won the competitive grant over the Legal Services Program for Pasadena, San Gabriel-Pomona valleys. That boosted its client base from 16,000 to around 25,000, and NLS opened an office in El Monte. <sep>What is the biggest obstacle for neighborhood legal services and why?<sep>Lack of interest

Q: Military Notification and Response. Boston Center did not follow the protocol in seeking military assistance through the prescribed chain of command. In addition to notifications within the FAA, Boston Center took the initiative, at 8:34, to contact the military through the FAA's Cape Cod facility. The center also tried to contact a former alert site in Atlantic City, unaware it had been phased out. At 8:37:52, Boston Center reached NEADS. This was the first notification received by the military-at any level-that American 11 had been hijacked: FAA: Hi. Boston Center TMU [Traffic Management Unit], we have a problem here. We have a hijacked aircraft headed towards New York, and we need you guys to, we need someone to scramble some F-16s or something up there, help us out. NEADS: Is this real-world or exercise? FAA: No, this is not an exercise, not a test. NEADS ordered to battle stations the two F-15 alert aircraft at Otis Air Force Base in Falmouth, Massachusetts, 153 miles away from New York City. The air defense of America began with this call. At NEADS, the report of the hijacking was relayed immediately to Battle Commander Colonel Robert Marr. After ordering the Otis fighters to battle stations, Colonel Marr phoned Major General Larry Arnold, commanding general of the First Air Force and NORAD's Continental Region. Marr sought authorization to scramble the Otis fighters. General Arnold later recalled instructing Marr to "go ahead and scramble them, and we'll get authorities later." General Arnold then called NORAD headquarters to report. F-15 fighters were scrambled at 8:46 from Otis Air Force Base. <sep>What is the name of the city of the planes departure?<sep>New York City

How to plant a java fern
Place a fern that's attached to driftwood into your tank.
If you buy a java fern at a pet shop or even order it online, it will often come pre-attached to a small piece of driftwood. In this case, you can simply place the fern and driftwood into your aquarium as-is, since java ferns grow best when attached to driftwood or stone.
Choices: (A). Put your java fern in a 6-8 inch aquarium. There will most likely be some driftwood on top of the java fern. (B). It will usually take about 8 to 12 hours for java ferns to establish themselves in your aquarium. Add a potted fern to a south-facing aquarium. (C). Tie your fern to driftwood using thick string or rubber bands. Place the fern at least 1.2 feet (0.9 m) in front of the driftwood. (D). Often, the fern will be attached to the wood with a thin thread that should dissolve over time in the water. The root system of the java fern will hold it in place.

Teacher:In this task, you are given a question and a context passage. You have to answer the question based on the given passage.
Teacher: Now, understand the problem? Solve this instance: What was quoted in the 1960's?, Context: Urban anthropology is concerned with issues of urbanization, poverty, and neoliberalism. Ulf Hannerz quotes a 1960s remark that traditional anthropologists were "a notoriously agoraphobic lot, anti-urban by definition". Various social processes in the Western World as well as in the "Third World" (the latter being the habitual focus of attention of anthropologists) brought the attention of "specialists in 'other cultures'" closer to their homes. There are two principle approaches in urban anthropology: by examining the types of cities or examining the social issues within the cities. These two methods are overlapping and dependent of each other. By defining different types of cities, one would use social factors as well as economic and political factors to categorize the cities. By directly looking at the different social issues, one would also be studying how they affect the dynamic of the city.

Q: The first book printed in what later became the United States of America is expected to set a world record at auction on Tuesday. The Bay Psalm Book is valued not only as an object of extreme rarity, but also as a symbol of a future nation's identity.
A few years after the Puritan "Great Migration" of 1630 from England to Massachusetts Bay, the settlers undertook an ambitious project, writing and printing their own book of psalms.
They already had psalm books, but being reformists who embraced congregational singing, wanted a translation from the Book of Psalms in Hebrew Scriptures that was both closer to the original and written in verse.
A printing press - perhaps obtained surreptitiously to avoid English licensing laws - arrived from London in 1638, along with 240 reams of paper.
Though the man who raised the funds for them, the Reverend Jose Glover, died during the journey, his widow settled in Cambridge, Massachusetts where she established the press.
What is a psalm? A sacred song or poem
There are 150 in the Hebrew Scriptures' Book of Psalms
It was operated by Stephen Day, an indentured servant of the Glovers and a locksmith by trade. In 1640 he printed some 1,700 copies of the 300-page Whole Book of Psalmes Faithfully Translated into English Metre, commonly known as the Bay Psalm Book.
The simple volume was put straight to use by congregations across the colony. Though the text was reprinted more than 50 times over the next century, most first edition books were worn out within decades.
"It's a book that was not created to be fancy or splendid or valuable in any way other than the significance of its content," says Derick Dreher, the director of Philadelphia's Rosenbach Library, one of the few institutions to hold a Bay Psalm Book.
"But because the congregation for which it was created literally used the book to death, very few of the copies have survived.
"We have all sorts of reports that go well back into the 19th Century about the lengths to which people were willing to go to acquire a Bay Psalm Book and they just couldn't be had."
Today just 11 are known to exist, and Boston's historic Old South Church is selling one of its two copies at Sotheby's auction house in New York. It's the first time a Bay Psalm Book has reached the market since 1947, and could conceivably be the last.

The Old South Church says it has no plans to sell its final copy, which in any case may be protected by the terms of a bequest, and the other nine books are prized items in major collections or libraries.
Sotheby's has set an estimate for the sale of $15-30m (£9.3-18.6m), which would easily surpass the record for a printed book of $11.5m, paid in 2010 for a rare copy of John James Audubon's Birds of America.
It notes that the Bay Psalm Book sold in 1947 for $151,000 set its own record, and dwarfed prices paid around the same time for a Gutenberg Bible Old Testament, a Shakespeare First Folio, and a Birds of America.
Image caption John James Audubon's Birds of America is the world's most expensive book, but perhaps not for long
The Bay Psalm Book has achieved its status despite criticism early on about its quality.
Publisher and author Isaiah Thomas noted 200 years ago that it "abounds with typographical errors" and "does not exhibit the appearance of good workmanship. The compositor must have been wholly unacquainted with punctuation."
A S W Rosenbach (1876-1952) In 1933 renowned American book collector Abraham Rosenbach received a letter from a certain James Weatherup in Belfast, Northern Ireland, who said he had a copy of the Bay Psalm Book that his daughter could bring with her to New York for inspection. Rosenbach was sceptical - a first edition had last been discovered in 1855 - but found that the book was genuine. He sent Weatherup a cable: "Book received regret condition we do not make offers so kindly cable your price in pounds", to which Weatherup replied: "150 pounds". The deal was made and Rosenbach had struck one of the great book bargains of all time, adding a Bay Psalm Book to the collection now housed in the Rosenbach Library in Philadelphia. Rosenbach was not so lucky, however, in 1947, when Yale University employed him as an agent to help raise funds for the Bay Psalm Book auctioned that year. Pledges of $95,000 were secured, and Rosenbach understood that more money was available if needed. But after John Fleming, who was doing the bidding for Rosenbach, was raised to $151,000, the agreement with Yale quickly soured. Rosenbach offered to cover the difference, expecting to loan the money while more contributions came in. A payment of $49,500 was fixed, but Yale accepted it as a gift, and Rosenbach was never refunded. Sources: The Rosenbach Museum and Library and Sotheby's
The inking of the type is uneven, and there are numerous printing mistakes. The top of the left-hand page carries the word "psalm" and a number in Roman numerals, but on the right hand page it appears as "psalme". Inverted commas are used in place of apostrophes.
Paul Needham, the head of Princeton's Schiede Library, says the book probably falls a little below the "pretty mediocre" standard of contemporary printing in London, and that the Gutenberg bible, less rare but printed nearly two centuries earlier in Mainz, is "immensely more beautiful".
The awkwardness of the Bay Psalm Book translations has also drawn criticism.
As the scholars and ministers who devised the book acknowledge in the preface, they "attended conscience rather then elegance, fidelity rather then poetry, in translating the Hebrew words into English language".
John Hoover, former president of the Bibliographical Society of America, says the Bay Psalm Book, which includes some Hebrew letters, reflects the very high level of scholarship in the colony.
The language "has that odd Puritan ring to it - it's an acquired taste".
But he adds that far from counting against it, the Bay Psalm Book's eccentricities of verse and print point to the history that underlies its appeal.
As the first book printed in British colonial America, the volume can be seen as marking the arrival of Western civilisation in what would become the United States.
By 1700 Boston had already overtaken Oxford and Cambridge to become the second most active centre of publishing of English books after London.
Image caption Old South Church in Boston will retain one of its two Bay Psalm Books
And although the Massachusetts Bay Puritans were not separatists or democrats, their pioneering spirit and quest for freedom can be traced forward to US independence in 1776, and the identity of a new nation.
"It was an act of independence going to Massachusetts and setting up their own society with their own version of Christianity, and I think you can draw a pretty direct line ultimately to the events of 1776," says David Redden, who as head of Sotheby's books department will conduct Tuesday's auction.

"In the past it would simply have been - it's the first book printed in America, and not so much what it contained. But I think now what it contained is also going to be quite important and it may very much influence where the bidding goes."
The Bay Psalm Book's historical significance is keenly felt at the Old South Church, where Founding Father Benjamin Franklin was baptised and meetings that led to the Boston Tea Party were hosted.
That made the decision to part with a copy difficult, but church leaders argued it was necessary to pay for operating costs and the congregation overwhelmingly supported them in a vote.
"The point is that we're not a museum," says Tom Grant, a trustee at the church. "We're about mission and social justice and serving God's people.
"And holding on to a treasure, that is not furthering the mission of the church."

Who says print is dead?
A pamphlet of psalms believed to be the very first book ever printed in what is now the continental United States set an auction record for a printed book Tuesday — fetching $14,165,000 at Sotheby's, the auction house told NBC News.
The copy of the Bay Psalm Book from 1640 that went on the auction block is one of just 11 known copies of the religious volume, said the Rev. Nancy Taylor, senior minister and CEO of Boston's Old South Church, which voted to sell one of the two copies of it owns to boost its grants and ministries.
It was purchased by American businessman and philanthropist David Rubenstein, “who plans to share it with the American public by loaning it to libraries across the country, before putting it on long-term loan at one of them,” according to Sotheby's.
At one point, the nearly 350-year-old church owned five copies of the 6-by-5-inch book. One is now housed at the Library of Congress, with the others at Yale University and Brown University, according to the Associated Press.
"Of inestimable significance, 'The Bay Psalm Book' is not simply one of the great icons of book history, it is one of the greatest artifacts of American history," Sotheby's said in a description of the book on its website.
The tiny book was listed with a pre-sale estimate of $15 to $30 million — much more than the selling price of the previous record-holder for a printed book: a copy of John James Audubon's "Birds of America," which went for $11.5 million at Sotheby's three years ago.
The book was published in Cambridge, Mass., by the Congregationalist Puritan leaders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony, just 20 years after the Pilgrims first arrived at Plymouth seeking freedom from religious persecution.
The book was meant to be a faithful translation into English of the original Hebrew psalms, as Puritans believed that paraphrasing would undermine their salvation, according to the Sotheby's official website.
Some 1,700 copies were printed on a press that had been shipped from England.
A yellowed and faded title page reads: "The Whole Booke of Psalmes, Faithfully Translated into English Metre." At the bottom, an inscription reads: "Imprinted 1640."

The first book ever printed in what became the USA is now the world's most expensive printed book. One of 11 surviving copies of the Bay Psalm Book has sold at auction for just over $14 million—below Sotheby's pre-sale estimate $15 million to $30 million but still millions more than John James Audubon's Birds of America sold for in 2010, NBC reports. The tiny book, a 1640 translation of the psalms from the Hebrew originals, was bought by philanthropist David Rubenstein, who plans to share it with libraries across America. Some 1,700 copies of the book were printed by Puritan settlers in the Massachusetts Bay Colony, but it has been very rare for centuries. "It's a book that was not created to be fancy or splendid or valuable in any way other than the significance of its content," the director of Philadelphia's Rosenbach Library tells the BBC. "But because the congregation for which it was created literally used the book to death, very few of the copies have survived." It was sold by Boston's Old South Church, which once had five of the books but donated copies to Library of Congress, Yale University, and Brown University. It plans to hang on to its last one.

How to use accent lighting in a stairwell
Install wall sconces along the stairwell.
A classic and simple way to use accent lighting in a staircase is to install a few wall sconces. Sconces can be placed at regular intervals along the wall, with their heights graduated to follow the slope of the stairs.
OPTIONS:
- When installing wall sconces, you'll want to have at least 24 lamps placed on each tread. However, hang a few lamps on opposite sides of the stairs to pick more subdued tones if you have a bathroom and want a warm, peaceful feel to a familiar staircase.
- This type of lighting scheme will cast a gentle wash of light upwards onto your wall, which often helps to make a cramped staircase feel more open. Wire some spotlights to highlight nearby artwork.
- Ambient lighting is ideal, but also easier to install in an indoor setting. A sleek, flat surface like slate will work well, as will sconces that alternate between bold and contrasting colors.
- Space out the sconces so that they are spaced at different angles. Keep in mind that wall sconces will have differently sloped edges, so in some cases you may need to strategically arrange the fixtures so that they are further apart.
OUT: This type of lighting scheme will cast a gentle wash of light upwards onto your wall, which often helps to make a cramped staircase feel more open. Wire some spotlights to highlight nearby artwork.

[Q]: If someone wanted to leave Alaska, where would they drive first?, Context: Alaska has few road connections compared to the rest of the U.S. The state's road system covers a relatively small area of the state, linking the central population centers and the Alaska Highway, the principal route out of the state through Canada. The state capital, Juneau, is not accessible by road, only a car ferry, which has spurred several debates over the decades about moving the capital to a city on the road system, or building a road connection from Haines. The western part of Alaska has no road system connecting the communities with the rest of Alaska.

The Western Docks date from the 1930s when the Southern Railway Company commissioned a major land reclamation and dredging programme. Most of the material used for reclamation came from dredging of Southampton Water, to ensure that the port can continue to handle large ships.

Q: Little is known of the earliest Stone Age inhabitants of Europe's southwestern extremity. The ancient Greeks called them the Cynetes (or Cunetes). Whatever their origins, their culture evolved under the pressure and influence of foreign forces. Among the many invading armies that settled here and contributed to nascent Portuguese culture were Phoenicians, who settled in the area around 1,000 b.c., followed by the Celts, Iberians, Greeks, and Carthaginians. But it was the Romans, who arrived late in the third century b.c., who most greatly influenced all of Iberia. They built towns, industries, roads, and bridges, developed agriculture, and bequeathed the Latin language, of which Portuguese is a direct descendant. The Romans named the southwestern province of the peninsula Lusitania, oddly enough for one of the Celtiberian tribes they defeated, and by the third century a.d. had introduced Christianity. By the beginning of the fourth century the Algarve had a bishop in place, based in Faro. But Rome had already fallen into decay, and soon hordes of northern tribesmen took over the empire. The Algarve fell to the Visigoths in the mid-fifth century. Under Moorish Rule In a.d. 711, the Moors brought powerful armies from North Africa and launched a devastating attack on the Iberian peninsula, conquering much of what would become Spain and Portugal. They imposed Islam and left an indelible influence on the countryside and the population of the Algarve. The Moorish legacy can still be seen in the form of wells and waterwheels, squat white houses, the dark complexions of the people, and in the very name given the region — taken from Al-Gharb, which means "country of the west" (when the Moors conquered the territory, it was the most westerly in the known world). The Moors governed their Iberian kingdoms from across the border in Seville, but the Algarve had its own regional capital and huge, invulnerable fortress. The capital was Chelb (or Xelb), and it was bigger and better defended than Lisbon. Today the town, known as Silves, is a provincial outpost whose only besiegers are busloads of tourists who climb the narrow streets up to the old Moorish ramparts. <sep>Who arrived after the Celts and Iberians?<sep>Moorish

Input: When did Tito create his own rule?, Context: Tito was the chief architect of the second Yugoslavia, a socialist federation that lasted from 1943 to 1991–92. Despite being one of the founders of Cominform, soon he became the first Cominform member to defy Soviet hegemony and the only one to manage to leave Cominform and begin with its own socialist program. Tito was a backer of independent roads to socialism (sometimes referred to as "national communism"). In 1951 he implemented a self-management system that differentiated Yugoslavia from other socialist countries. A turn towards a model of market socialism brought economic expansion in the 1950s and 1960s and a decline during the 1970s. His internal policies included the suppression of nationalist sentiment and the promotion of the "brotherhood and unity" of the six Yugoslav nations. After Tito's death in 1980, tensions between the Yugoslav republics emerged and in 1991 the country disintegrated and went into a series of wars and unrest that lasted the rest of the decade, and which continue to impact most of the former Yugoslav republics. He remains a very controversial figure in the Balkans.

Input: Guinea fowls love to hang out with their own kind because of what quality?, Context: Guinea fowl originated in southern Africa, and the species most often kept as poultry is the helmeted guineafowl (Numida meleagris). It is a medium-sized grey or speckled bird with a small naked head with colourful wattles and a knob on top, and was domesticated by the time of the ancient Greeks and Romans.

Their flesh and eggs can be eaten in the same way as chickens, young birds being ready for the table at the age of about four months.
