In those Olympics, Bermuda's Katura Horton-Perinchief made history by becoming the first black female diver to compete in the Olympic Games. Bermuda has had one Olympic medallist, Clarence Hill, who won a bronze medal in boxing. Bermuda also competed in Men's Skeleton at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy. Patrick Singleton placed 19th, with a final time of 1:59.81. Jillian Teceira competed in the Beijing Olympics in 2008. It is tradition for Bermuda to march in the Opening Ceremony in Bermuda shorts, regardless of the summer or winter Olympic celebration. Bermuda also competes in the biennial Island Games, which it hosted in 2013.". Can you tell me what it is? Answer:

answer:Yes, based on the information provided in the passage, Katura Horton-Perinchief's gender can be identified as female. This can be deduced from the sentence, "In those Olympics, Bermuda's Katura Horton-Perinchief made history by becoming the first black female diver to compete in the Olympic Games."

question:What was dedicated as a museum in October 1970? Answer the above question based on the context below: The American Chemical Society (ACS) has used the Joseph Priestley House as a place to mark special celebrations. On July 31 and August 1, 1874, "seventy-seven chemists made a pilgrimage to the site to celebrate the centennial of chemistry". The date was chosen to mark the hundredth anniversary of Priestley's experiment producing oxygen by heating mercuric oxide with a magnifying lens and sunlight. These chemists came from 15 US states and the District of Columbia, Canada, and England, and their meeting at the house and a local school "is now recognized as the first National Chemistry Congress, and many ACS historians believe it led to ACS's formation two years later on April 6, 1876". On September 5, 1926, about 500 ACS members met again at the home to dedicate the small brick museum and to celebrate the meeting 50 years earlier (two survivors of that first meeting were present).Representatives of the ACS were present at the October 1970 dedication of the house as a museum. On April 25, 1974 around 400 chemists from the ACS Middle Atlantic Regional Meeting in Scranton came to visit the home. The Priestley Medal, the highest and oldest honor awarded by the ACS, was awarded to Paul Flory at the house that day. (A replica of the Priestley Medal is on display at the house.) On August 1, 1974—what has been labeled the bicentennial of the discovery of oxygen—over 500 chemists attending the third Biennial Conference on Chemical Education at State College traveled to the house to celebrate "Oxygen Day". In October 1976, the ACS celebrated its own centennial with a celebration in Northumberland. A 100-plus piece replica of Priestley's laboratory equipment, made by universities, corporations, and the Smithsonian Institution, was presented to the house for display. On April 13, 1983, ACS President Fred Basolo spoke at the house to celebrate Priestley's 250th birthday and as part of a first day of issue ceremony for the United States Postal Service's Joseph Priestley commemorative stamp. In 2001 the ACS again met at the...

answer:Based on the context provided, the Joseph Priestley House was dedicated as a museum in October 1970.

(Associated Press) Egyptian protesters clash with security forces near Tahrir square, in Cairo, Egypt, Wednesday, Nov. 28, 2012. Egyptian state television says the country's highest appeal court has decided to suspend its... (Associated Press) Judges of the Cassation Court decided in an emergency meeting that they will not return to work until Morsi rescinds his decrees, according to state TV. The country's lower appeals court also decided Wednesday to stop work nationwide. The move followed a defiant statement by the Supreme Constitutional Court that rejected charges made by Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood that it is working to bring down his government. The developments are likely to stoke the political turmoil triggered by Morsi when he issued a constitutional declaration on Thursday that placed him above oversight of any kind, including by the courts, and extended similar protection to parliament's lower chamber and a 100-member panel drafting a new constitution. The constitutional court, which was not included in the suspension, is due to rule Sunday on the legality of the two bodies, which are dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists. A ruling, regardless of which way it goes, would constitute a direct challenge to Morsi, who took office in June as Egypt's first freely elected president but has enraged pro-democracy activists who claim he is acting too much like the authoritarian leader he replaced. The court ruled in June to dissolve parliament's lower chamber, also dominated by Islamists, a decision that Morsi and his Islamist allies described as part of a "conspiracy" to bring down the regime. A strike by the appeals courts and the rare criticism of the president contained in the Supreme Constitutional Court's statement come a day after at least 200,000 people gathered at Cairo's Tahrir square to protest Morsi's decrees, which also gave him unlimited powers to "protect" the nation. The size of the protest was reminiscent of some of the larger rallies held in the square during the 18-day uprising that toppled former President Hosni Mubarak's authoritarian regime nearly two years ago. Clashes between some protesters and police continued Wednesday. The liberal opposition has said it would not enter a dialogue with the president about the country's latest political crisis before Morsi rescinded his decrees. They plan another massive rally on Friday. ||||| CAIRO (Reuters) - The assembly writing Egypt’s constitution said it could wrap up a final draft later on Wednesday, a move the Muslim Brotherhood sees as a way out of a crisis over a decree by President Mohamed Mursi that protesters say gives him dictatorial powers. But as Mursi’s opponents staged a sixth day of protests in Tahrir Square, critics said the Islamist-dominated assembly’s bid to finish the constitution quickly could make matters worse. Two people have been killed and hundreds injured in countrywide protest set off by Mursi’s decree. The Brotherhood hopes to end the crisis by replacing Mursi’s controversial decree with an entirely new constitution that would need to be approved in a popular referendum, a Brotherhood official told Reuters. It is a gamble based on the Islamists’ belief that they can mobilize enough voters to win the referendum: they have won all elections held since Hosni Mubarak was toppled from power. But the move seemed likely to deepen divisions that are being exposed in the street. The Muslim Brotherhood and its Islamist allies called for protests on Saturday in Tahrir Square, setting the stage for more confrontation with their opponents, who staged a mass rally there on Tuesday. The constitution is one of the main reasons Mursi is at loggerheads with non-Islamist opponents. They are boycotting the 100-member constitutional assembly, saying the Islamists have tried to impose their vision for Egypt’s future. The assembly’s legal legitimacy has been called into question by a series of court cases demanding its dissolution. Its popular legitimacy has been hit by the withdrawal of members including church representatives and liberals. “We will start now and finish today, God willing,” Hossam el-Gheriyani, the assembly speaker, said at the start of its latest session in Cairo, saying Thursday would be “a great day”. “If you are upset by the decree, nothing will stop it except a new constitution issued immediately,” he said. Three other members of the assembly told Reuters there were plans to put the document to a vote on Thursday. ENTRENCHING AUTHORITARIANISM Just down the road from the meeting convened at the Shura Council, protesters were again clashing with riot police in Tahrir Square. Members of the assembly watched on television as they waited to go into session. “The constitution is in its last phases and will be put to a referendum soon and God willing it will solve a lot of the problems in the street,” said Talaat Marzouk, an assembly member from the Salafi Nour Party, as he watched the images. But Wael Ghonim, a prominent activist whose online blogging helped ignite the anti-Mubarak uprising, said a constitution passed in such circumstances would “entrench authoritarianism”. The constitution is supposed to be the cornerstone of a new, democratic Egypt following Mubarak’s three decades of autocratic rule. The assembly has been at work for six months. Mursi had extended its December 12 deadline by two months - extra time that Gheriyani said was not needed. The constitution will determine the powers of the president and parliament and define the roles of the judiciary and a military establishment that had been at the heart of power for decades until Mubarak was toppled. It will also set out the role of Islamic law, or sharia. The effort to conclude the text quickly marked an escalation, said Nathan Brown, a professor of political science at George Washington University in the United States. “It may be regarded with hostility by a lot of state actors too, including the judiciary,” he said. Leading opposition and former Arab League chief figure Amr Moussa slammed the move. He walked out of the assembly earlier this month. “This is nonsensical and one of the steps that shouldn’t be taken, given the background of anger and resentment to the current constitutional assembly,” he told Reuters.

Hundreds of demonstrators were in Cairo's Tahrir Square for a sixth day on Wednesday to demand that President Mohamed Mursi rescind a decree they say gives him dictatorial powers, and two of Egypt's top courts stopped work in protest. REUTERS/Amr Abdallah Dalsh Once drafted, the constitution will go to Mursi for approval, and he must then put it to a referendum within 15 days, which could mean the vote would be held by mid-December. COURTS DECLARE STRIKE Deepening the crisis further on Wednesday, Egypt’s Cassation and Appeals courts said they would suspend their work until the constitutional court rules on the decree. The judiciary, largely unreformed since the popular uprising that unseated Mubarak, was seen as a major target in the decree issued last Thursday, which extended his powers and put his decisions temporarily beyond legal challenge. “The president wants to create a new dictatorship,” said 38-year-old Mohamed Sayyed Ahmed, an unemployed man, in Tahrir. Showing the depth of distrust of Mursi in parts of the judiciary, a spokesman for the Supreme Constitutional Court, which earlier this year declared void the Islamist-led parliament, said it felt under attack by the president. In a speech on Friday, Mursi praised the judiciary as a whole but referred to corrupt elements he aimed to weed out. “The really sad thing that has pained the members of this court is when the president of the republic joined, in a painful surprise, the campaign of continuous attack on the Constitutional Court,” said the spokesman Maher Samy. Senior judges have been negotiating with Mursi about how to restrict his new powers. Mursi’s administration insists that his actions were aimed at breaking a political logjam to push Egypt more swiftly towards democracy, an assertion his opponents dismiss. The West worries about turbulence in a nation that has a peace treaty with Israel and is now ruled by Islamists they long kept at arms length. Slideshow (20 Images) Trying to ease tensions with judges, Mursi said elements of his decree giving his decisions immunity applied only to matters of “sovereign” importance, a compromise suggested by the judges. A constitution must be in place before a new parliament can be elected, and until that time Mursi holds both executive and legislative powers. An election could take place in early 2013. ||||| Media caption BBC Arabic's Yasmine Abu Khadra met protesters camping in Tahrir Square Judges in Egypt's appeal courts have called a strike in protest at President Mohammed Mursi's recent decree giving himself new powers. The decree, issued last Thursday, gave Mr Mursi powers to take any measures to protect the revolution, and stated that no court could overturn his decisions. The move sparked widespread protests. Meanwhile, the assembly drafting a new Egyptian constitution is expected to vote on a draft on Thursday, officials have said. "Tomorrow [Thursday] will be a great day," said the head of the Islamist-dominated assembly, Hossam al-Gheriani. He urged the non-Islamist parties, the syndicate of journalists and Egyptian churches - who walked out of the assembly last week - to return. Once adopted by the assembly, the proposed constitution will then be put to a national referendum. 'Protecting the revolution' 22 November declaration Re-open investigations into killings of protesters; retrials of those accused No appeals against constitutional decrees made since Mursi came to power President to appoint the public prosecutor (must be aged at least 40) Constituent assembly to get two months extra to draft new constitution No judicial authority can dissolve the constituent assembly or the upper house of parliament (Shura Council) President authorised to take any measures to preserve the revolution or safeguard national security Egypt state TV struggles to shake off old habits Egyptians on presidential powers The Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups have called a rally for Saturday in support of Mr Mursi. His backers say the decree was needed to protect the gains of the revolution against a judiciary with deep ties to overthrown President Hosni Mubarak. Appeals courts and the Court of Cassation will halt work until the decree is revoked, the judges say. On Monday, Mr Mursi sought to defuse the crisis by saying the decree granting him new powers was limited in scope. He met senior judges and told them that the measure would be restricted to "sovereign matters" designed to protect institutions. But judges who attended the meeting said they were not satisfied. They want him to withdraw the measure completely. Protesters who have taken to the streets since the decree was issued last Thursday say Mr Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood has hijacked the revolution. The Constitutional Court - which is not taking part in the strike - has accused Mr Mursi and the Muslim Brotherhood of seeking revenge for an earlier decision in which the court dissolved parliament. The BBC's Jon Leyne, in Cairo, says the aim of Thursday's vote on the draft constitution could be to pre-empt a Constitutional Court ruling on Sunday which may once again dissolve the assembly. Publishing a constitution in these circumstances would be a deeply inflammatory move, our correspondent says. Many Egyptians are suspicious that the assembly, dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamists, wants to impose a constitution that increases the role of Islam in Egypt's government and public life. Anti-Mursi protests were held in Cairo, Alexandria, Suez, Minya and other Nile Delta cities on Tuesday. Low-level rallies continued in Cairo's Tahrir Square on Wednesday. The Brotherhood has organised counter-demonstrations, including one in Egypt's second city, Alexandria, which attracted several thousand participants. The decree bars judges from dissolving the assembly that is drawing up a new constitution. The president is also authorised to take any measures to preserve the revolution, national unity or safeguard national security. Critics say the decree is an attack on the judiciary. ||||| More than 100,000 people took to the streets of Cairo on Tuesday to protest against a decree by the Egyptian president, Mohamed Morsi, that grants him sweeping constitutional powers. Columns of protesters from all over the Egyptian capital descended on Tahrir Square, the focus of the January 2011 revolution, in numbers that rivalled the rallies in the 18-day protest that toppled the authoritarian ruler Hosni Mubarak. "Dictator" was the word being used to describe Morsi's new status after last Thursday's decree, which grants immunity for the president from judicial review as well as protecting a controversial constitutional assembly dominated by the group he is affiliated with, the Muslim Brotherhood. "Today's protests are to overthrow oppression and stand up to the new dictatorship of Morsi, his decree and a constitution far removed from the revolution," said Haytham Mohamedeen of the Egyptian Revolutionary Socialists movement. "He has to back down. The revolution and the streets will dictate what he will do. If he stands in the way of the revolution, he will share the same fate as Mubarak." Other marchers called for Morsi not merely to rescind his decree but to step down from the presidency. The chant of the 2011 revolution – "The people want to bring down the regime" – was echoed in other major Egyptian cities, including Alexandria and Suez. Muslim Brotherhood headquarters in Alexandria and Mansoura were ransacked and in the case of latter, set on fire, prompting the organisation to formally request the armed forces to protect the main headquarters in Mokkatam in Cairo. Security Forces at both scenes had apparently refused to intervene. Clashes also raged in the city of Mahalla between Muslim Brotherhood sympathisers and anti-Morsi protesters, resulting in 300 injuries, while there were also reports of clashes in Port Said. Earlier, police continuously fired teargas near Tahrir Square while fighting raged with protesters who continued to arrive in large numbers. Among them was Mohamed ElBaradei, the former International Atomic Energy Agency chief who has taken on the role of co-ordinator of a national salvation front set up to unite opposition to the Morsi decree. Rami Ghanem, of the National Front for Justice and Democracy, said Morsi's decree had galvanised and united Egypt's disparate opposition groups. "Most political movements have joined a salvation front with a united political bureau," he said. "What we have failed to do in the past two years, Morsi has achieved with his decree, uniting all of us. "Our objection is to the decree, irrespective of which president issued it. Killing continues by the ministry of interior, and governments that do this must be removed. We cannot accept any more transgressions, so this may escalate to peaceful civil disobedience." On Monday night, after a meeting with the supreme judicial authority, the presidency issued a statement clarifying the decree and stating that Morsi would use the new powers only for "sovereign matters", which is presumed to mean anything that relates to national security. A counter-protest planned by the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamist groups was postponed to avoid confrontation with those inflamed by the perceived power grab. Neither of these concessions was enough to stop the protests. "Morsi has no credibility any more," said Mohamed Eissa Moussa, a merchant participating in one of the marches. "He must step down. Neither he nor the Muslim Brotherhood can be trusted any more. He is not working for the revolution but for himself and his brotherhood. Had he been different, I would have supported him." Ahmed Bakr, a member of Egypt's union for doctors, said: "He has appropriated the revolution, and what's worse, he is claiming it is in the name of the revolution. This is a pivotal moment: if we accept his decree, the revolution is over. "This isn't democracy, and their adoption of such a decree is farcical. The Brotherhood have no shame and Morsi is tearing this country apart." Tahrir Square was teeming with people even before the separate marches reached the area early in the evening. Adapted anti-Mubarak chants calling for the heads of Morsi and the Brotherhood reverberated from the city's buildings. However, the Twitter account of the Muslim Brotherhood's official English-language website, Ikhwanweb, seemed unperturbed by the numbers out in protest, first dismissing the "low turnout" in Tahrir Square and then stating that opposition forces who were pleased with a turnout of 300,000 protesters should brace themselves for the "millions" that would come out in support of Morsi. "On #Jan25, united Egyptians (Islamists, liberals, leftists) revolted against autocracy, supported by millions across country, today is politics," Ikhwanweb tweeted. Morsi, emboldened by his success on the international stage for in reaching a truce between Hamas and Israel, has defended his decree by stating it was necessary to defend the revolution from remnants of the Mubarak regime. It's expected that Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court will issue a statement clarifying its position regarding Morsi's decree Wednesday morning. The number of fatalities in a week of unrest reached four on Tuesday, with news of the death of Fathi Gharib, a member of the Socialist Popular Alliance party, who was reported to have died after inhaling teargas. ||||| Clashes that have been erupting on streets just off Tahrir spilt into the square on Wednesday morning, with canisters falling into the crowd forcing protesters to run and sending clouds of tear gas over the tents housing the demonstrators, television images showed. The outskirts of the square have seen sporadic clashes now entering their ninth day, in what started as an anniversary protest to mark one year since deadly confrontations with police in the same area. The television footage showed masked protesters grabbing tear gas canisters and throwing them back at police in a street close to the US embassy, off Tahrir. On Tuesday, tens of thousands of protesters packed the square in a massive show of force, furious that the Islamist president had issued a decree granting himself sweeping powers. Rallies were also staged in most of Egypt's 27 provinces. At least 100 people were injured in Tuesday's nationwide demonstrations including 21 in Cairo, the health ministry said. At least three people have died in one week of clashes. Meanwhile at least two advisers have quit Mr Morsi's team, according to Reuters. One of them, a Christian, had the title of Mursi's assistant for "democratic transformation". Like most Egyptians, Samir Morkos only learnt of what was in the decree when it was read on state television late on Thursday, he told the London-based Asharq al-Awsat newspaper. Another adviser, Emad Abdel-Ghaffour, told Reuters he had not been consulted either. Head of the hardline Islamist Nour Party, he is still serving as an adviser on "social outreach". He is in almost daily contact with Mr Morsi, an aide said. "Our opinion was not sought," Abdel-Ghaffour said of the decree, adding that he had reservations on the text, but like other Islamists, was broadly supportive of it. Critics of Mr Morsi's decree fear it puts at risk the entire democratic transformation in Egypt, run for decades by army-backed autocrats. Among other controversial articles, it shields from judicial review decisions taken by Mr Morsi until a new parliament is elected some time next year. The Morsi administration has defended the decree as a temporary step needed to smooth the transition to a new system of government. It guarantees new steps to investigate violence against protesters during the uprising against Mubarak. Egypt's Supreme Constitutional Court meanwhile accused President Morsi of taking part in a campaign against the court. "The really sad thing that has pained the members of this court is when the president of the republic joined, in a painful surprise, the campaign of continuous attack on the Constitutional Court," said the court's spokesman, Maher Samy.

answer:The situation in Egypt remains heated as protests against Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi's recent decree, granting him sweeping constitutional powers, continue unabated. Tens of thousands of demonstrators reportedly descended on Tahrir Square, the centerpiece site of the 2011 revolution, characterizing the president's new level of authority as dictatorial. The resulting nation-wide protests have led to hundreds of injuries and claimed several lives. President Morsi's actions have also resulted in division within the government. Both the Cassation Court and Appeals courts have declared a strike, claiming they will not return to work until Morsi's decree is rescinded. This decision from the judiciary system comes on the heels of a Supreme Constitutional Court statement that denied allegations by Morsi and his Muslim Brotherhood that the court is conspiring to topple his government. The Constitutional Court, however, was not included in the suspension and is set to rule on the legality of two bodies dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood, including a 100-member panel responsible for drafting a new constitution. Parallel to this, the assembly responsible for writing Egypt's new constitution announced expectations of completing a final draft. However, critics argued that rushing the constitution could likely worsen the current situation. The Muslim Brotherhood believes replacing Morsi's controversial decree with a new constitution, followed by a popular referendum could potentially end the current crisis. But given the prevailing bitterness and suspicion amongst non-Islamist opponents, this move may deepen divides further. Opponents of Morsi's decree continue to protest due to the fear that the constitution, expected to be the cornerstone of a new democratic Egypt, will unintentionally increase the role of Islam in the nation's government and public life. In response to the ongoing unrest, the Muslim Brotherhood scheduled a counter-protest rally in support of Morsi and his efforts. Despite these sustained protests, Morsi and the Muslim Brotherhood stay firm on their stand, noting the decree, which was seen necessary to protect the gains of the revolution. In response to the backlash, the presidency issued a statement clarifying the decree and indicating that Morsi would only use his new powers for "sovereign matters," presumably relating to national security. However, this clarification has done little to dampen the anger of protesters who continue to insist that Morsi has hijacked the revolution. This ongoing crisis exposes the deep divisions within Egypt and poses serious challenges to its democratic transition. It is clear that the nation stands at a critical juncture, where its democratic future hangs in the balance.
