Answer:

Welsh-born cartoonist Leslie Gilbert Illingworth drew the famous cartoon of John F. Kennedy and Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev arm wrestling while sitting on hydrogen bombs. It appeared in the October 29, 1962 edition of the British newspaper The Daily Mail.Born in 1902, Illingworth started drawing cartoons for the famous British news magazine Punch in 1927. The Daily Mail hired him as well in 1937 and he continued to provide cartoons for both publications for the rest of his career. He gained a measure of national fame for the effective cartoons he drew during England's dogged stand against Nazi Germany.Illingworth was not an overtly political cartoonist and this is evident in this arm wrestling cartoon. One notices the characteristic Illingworth preference for detail rather than commentary on who is right or wrong. The intensity of the struggle is captured both by the energy that radiates out of Kennedy and Khrushchev's gripped hands, but also by the fact that each is sweating profusely. Each man still has his finger on the button that will detonate the bombs.Illingworth's cartoon reminded readers that the superpower struggle would continue and that the possibility of nuclear annihilation remained.Illingworth's drawings contrast sharply with those of Edmund Valtman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning and fiercely anti-communist cartoonist for The Hartford Times. On October 30, after the crisis had seemingly passed, his paper published a Valtman cartoon of Khrushchev yanking missile-shaped teeth out of a hideous-looking Castro's mouth. The caption above the illustration reads, “This Hurts Me More Than It Hurts You” and the cartoon clearly represents a moment of American gloating over the communists.That the Illingworth cartoon was published in a British newspaper bears witness to the fact that the outcome of the Cuban Missile Crisis affected the fate of populations beyond those of the United States and the Soviet Union. Indeed the whole world was watching. The publication date of October 29 is also significant since on October 28, Khrushchev announced that he was withdrawing the missiles out of Cuba and the crisis seemingly had passed. Illingworth's cartoon reminded readers that the superpower struggle would continue and that the possibility of nuclear annihilation remained.

Scientists must be impartial and not base their conclusions on ____.

aliya0001 [1]

Scientists should definitely use evidence - and they collect this evidence though especially designed experiments. Based on their data and assumptions they build models which they then test, but they can base their conclusions based on the models too.

What they should not do is based the conclusions on opinions, because opinions are not imparcial- they can state them as opinions, but not as conclusions.

The girl tried to search for the old man who helped her, but she didn’t remember his look due to the heavy rain. She was roaming the streets with the umbrella, given by the old man, when she heard an old woman shouting.

"Thief! Catch him! He stole my purse!"

The thief was running towards her. Guided by her insincts, she hit the thief with her umbrella, which caught him off guard and allowed his capture. However, the umbrella gifted to her by the old man got broken. The girl frowned as the old woman she helped approached to thank her. The old woman saw a shimmering in the girl's eyes, as if she was holding back tears, and she followed the girl's gaze to the bent umbrella in her hands.

Seeing this the old woman spoke with a soft, compassionate tone, “Don’t worry little girl. I will mend this umbrella and return it to you."

"No thank you." The girl sighed softly, "If I may, I request that you should mend the umbrella and help someone else who needs it, should the occasion arise." She gave the old woman a smile and handed it to her.

The old woman mended that umbrella and always carried it with her, just in case.
