query: Android has had prosperity.

pos: Android (operating system) Android is a mobile operating system developed by Google , based on the Linux kernel and designed primarily for touchscreen mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets . Android 's user interface is mainly based on direct manipulation , using touch gestures that loosely correspond to real-world actions , such as swiping , tapping and pinching , to manipulate on-screen objects , along with a virtual keyboard for text input . In addition to touchscreen devices , Google has further developed Android TV for televisions , Android Auto for cars , and Android Wear for wrist watches , each with a specialized user interface . Variants of Android are also used on notebooks , game consoles , digital cameras , and other electronics .   Initially developed by Android Inc. , which Google bought in 2005 , Android was unveiled in 2007 , along with the founding of the Open Handset Alliancea consortium of hardware , software , and telecommunication companies devoted to advancing open standards for mobile devices . Beginning with the first commercial Android device in September 2008 , the operating system has gone through multiple major releases , with the current version being 7.0 `` Nougat '' , released in August 2016 . Android applications ( `` apps '' ) can be downloaded from the Google Play store , which features over 2.7 million apps as of February 2017 . Android has been the best-selling OS on tablets since 2013 , and runs on the vast majority of smartphones . , Android has two billion monthly active users , and it has the largest installed base of any operating system .   Android 's source code is released by Google under an open source license , although most Android devices ultimately ship with a combination of free and open source and proprietary software , including proprietary software required for accessing Google services . Android is popular with technology companies that require a ready-made , low-cost and customizable operating system for high-tech devices . Its open nature has encouraged a large community of developers and enthusiasts to use the open-source code as a foundation for community-driven projects , which deliver updates to older devices , add new features for advanced users or bring Android to devices originally shipped with other operating systems . The extensive variation of hardware in Android devices causes significant delays for software upgrades , with new versions of the operating system and security patches typically taking months before reaching consumers , or sometimes not at all . The success of Android has made it a target for patent and copyright litigation as part of the so-called `` smartphone wars '' between technology companies .

neg: Google Fuchsia Fuchsia is a capability-based , real-time operating system ( RTOS ) currently being developed by Google . It was first discovered as a mysterious code post on GitHub in August 2016 , without any official announcement . In contrast to prior Google-developed operating systems such as Chrome OS and Android , which are based on Linux kernels , Fuchsia is based on a new microkernel named `` Magenta '' , derived from `` Little Kernel '' , a small operating system intended for embedded systems . Upon inspection , media outlets noted that the code post on GitHub suggested Fuchsia 's capability to run on universal devices , from embedded systems to smartphones , tablets and personal computers . In May 2017 , Fuchsia was updated with a user interface , along with a developer writing that the project was not a `` dumping ground of a dead thing '' , prompting media speculation about Google 's intentions with the operating system , including the possibility of it replacing Android .   It is distributed as free and open-source software under a mix of software licenses , including BSD 3 clause , MIT , and Apache 2.0 .

neg: E-TEN E-TEN Information Systems Co. , Ltd. . was an electronics manufacturing company based in Taiwan , specializing in sophisticated handheld devices such as smartphones .   Founded in 1985 in Taipei , E-TEN initially became known for its Chinese language input system for DOS based computers . The company went on to introduce various computer products , both computer hardware and software , building on its experience in rendering Chinese characters . Market offerings included a publishing application , a laser printer , and a Microsoft Windows-based input system .   E-TEN turned to handheld devices in 1997 , with the introduction of a real-time stock trading `` financial pager '' that became quite popular in the financial community of Taiwan .

'' After the buyout , the E-TEN brand was discontinued , and the Acer name was used on all future products .

neg: AppStream AppStream is an agreement between major Linux vendors ( i.e. Red Hat , Canonical , SUSE , Debian , Mandriva , etc. ) to create an infrastructure for application installers on Linux and sharing of metadata .   The project describes itself as : `` an initiative of cross-distro collaboration , which aims at creating an unified software metadata database , and also a centralized OCS ( Open Collaboration Services ) user-contributed content database , thus providing the best user experience . ''   With the 0.6 release , the scope of the project was expanded to include more metadata for other software components , such as fonts , codecs , input-methods and generic libraries , which will allow applications to query information about software which is available in a distribution in a distribution-independent way . This enhances the quality of data displayed in software-centers , but also makes it possible for 3rd-party application installers like Listaller to find the components a new application needs to run in the distribution 's package database . Additionally , the new metadata allows easier installation of prerequisites needed to build software in the first place , as well as matching upstream applications with distribution packages and matching packages across distributions , which might improve the process of exchanging patches .

query: Saddam Hussein died in 1937.

pos: Saddam Hussein Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti ( Arabic : صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي ; 28 April 1937 -- 30 December 2006 ) was the fifth President of Iraq , serving in this capacity from 16 July 1979 until 9 April 2003 . A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party , and later , the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organization the Iraqi Ba'ath Party -- which espoused Ba'athism , a mix of Arab nationalism and socialism -- Saddam played a key role in the 1968 coup ( later referred to as the 17 July Revolution ) that brought the party to power in Iraq .   As vice president under the ailing General Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr , and at a time when many groups were considered capable of overthrowing the government , Saddam created security forces through which he tightly controlled conflict between the government and the armed forces . In the early 1970s , Saddam nationalized oil and other industries . The state-owned banks were put under his control , leaving the system eventually insolvent mostly due to the Iran -- Iraq War , the Gulf War , and UN sanctions . Through the 1970s , Saddam cemented his authority over the apparatuses of government as oil money helped Iraq 's economy to grow at a rapid pace . Positions of power in the country were mostly filled with Sunni Arabs , a minority that made up only a fifth of the population .   Saddam formally rose to power in 1979 , although he had been the de facto head of Iraq for several years prior . He suppressed several movements , particularly Shi'a and Kurdish movements , seeking to overthrow the government or gain independence , and maintained power during the Iran -- Iraq War and the Gulf War . Whereas some in the Arab world lauded Saddam for his opposition to the United States and for attacking Israel -- he was widely condemned for the brutality of his dictatorship . The total number of Iraqis killed by the security services of Saddam 's government in various purges and genocides is conservatively estimated at 250,000 .   In 2003 , a coalition led by the U.S. invaded Iraq to depose Saddam , in which U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair accused him of possessing weapons of mass destruction and having ties to al-Qaeda . Saddam 's Ba'ath party was disbanded and elections were held . Following his capture on 13 December 2003 , the trial of Saddam took place under the Iraqi Interim Government . On 5 November 2006 , Saddam was convicted of charges of crimes against humanity related to the 1982 killing of 148 Iraqi Shi'ites , and was sentenced to death by hanging . His execution was carried out on 30 December 2006 .

pos: Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr Ahmed Hassan al-Bakr ( أحمد حسن البكر ; 1 July 1914 -- 4 October 1982 ) was the fourth President of Iraq , serving in this capacity from 17 July 1968 until 16 July 1979 . A leading member of the revolutionary Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party , and later , the Baghdad-based Ba'ath Party and its regional organisation Ba'ath Party -- Iraq Region ( the Ba'ath Party 's Iraqi branch ) , which espoused ba'athism , a mix of Arab nationalism and Arab socialism .   Al-Bakr first rose to prominence following the 14 July Revolution which overthrew the monarchy . In the newly established government , al-Bakr was involved in improving Iraqi -- Soviet relations . In 1959 al-Bakr was forced to resign from the Iraqi military ; the then Iraqi government accused him of being involved in anti-government activities . Following his forced retirement , he became the chairman of the Ba'ath Party 's Iraqi branch 's Military Bureau . Through this office he was able to recruit members to the ba'athist cause through patronage and cronyism . Prime Minister Abd al-Karim Qasim was overthrown in the Ramadan ( 8 February ) Revolution ; al-Bakr was appointed Prime Minister , and later , Vice President of Iraq in a ba'ath - nasserist coalition government . The government lasted for little more than a year , and was ousted in November 1963 .   Following the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party 's ouster from government in 1963 , al-Bakr and the party pursued underground activities and became vocal critics of the government . It was during this period that al-Bakr was elected the Ba'ath Party 's Iraqi branch 's Secretary General ( the head ) , and appointed his cousin , Saddam Hussein , to be the party cell 's deputy leader . Al-Bakr and the Ba'ath Party regained power in the coup of 1968 , later referred to as the 17 July Revolution . In the coup 's aftermath , al-Bakr was elected Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council and President ; he was later appointed Prime Minister . Saddam , the Ba'ath Party 's deputy , became Deputy Chairman of the Revolutionary Command Council and Vice President , and was responsible for Iraq 's security services .   During his rule , Iraq was blossoming ; high economic growth due to high international oil prices strengthened Iraq 's role in the Arab world and increased the people 's standard of living . Land reforms were introduced , and wealth was distributed more equally . A sort of socialist economy was established in the late-1970s , under the direction of Saddam . Al-Bakr gradually lost power to Saddam in the 1970s , when the latter strengthened his position within the party and the state through security services . In 1979 , al-Bakr resigned from all public offices for `` health reasons '' and died in 1982 .

neg: Farhud Farhud refers to the pogrom or `` violent dispossession '' carried out against the Jewish population of Baghdad , Iraq , on June 1 -- 2 , 1941 , immediately following the British victory in the Anglo-Iraqi War . The riots occurred in a power vacuum following the collapse of the pro-Nazi government of Rashid Ali , while the city was in a state of instability . The violence came immediately after the rapid defeat by the British of Rashid Ali , whose earlier coup had generated a short period of national euphoria , and was charged by allegations that Iraqi Jews had aided the British . Over 180 Jews were killed and 1,000 injured , and up to 300-400 non-Jewish rioters were killed in the attempt to quell the violence . Looting of Jewish property took place and 900 Jewish homes were destroyed .   The Farhud took place during the Jewish holiday of Shavuot . Because of rioters lamenting the losses of the outgoing regime of Rashid Ali al-Gaylani , who was an ally of Hitler 's , it has been referred to as a pogrom which was part of the Holocaust , although such comparison has been disputed . It has also been called `` the beginning of the end of the Jewish community of Iraq '' , propagating the migration of Iraqi Jews out of the country , although a direct connection to the 1951-2 Jewish exodus from Iraq is disputed . as many Jews who left Iraq immediately following the Farhud returned to the country and permanent emigration did not accelerate significantly until 1950-51 . According to Hayyim Cohen , the Farhud `` was the only -LSB- such event -RSB- known to the Jews of Iraq , at least during their last hundred years of life there '' .

neg: Foreign relations of Iraq Since 1980 , the foreign relations of Iraq were influenced by a number of controversial decisions by the Saddam Hussein administration .

The Islamic State of Iraq has claimed responsibility for the attacks .

neg: April 1937 The following events occurred in April 1937 :

neg: Battle of Al Kut (2003) The Battle of Al Kut was an armed confrontation between elements of the United States military and Iraqi forces during the 2003 Invasion of Iraq .   Before the 2003 invasion , Al Kut was home to an Iraqi airfield and suspected chemical weapons plant , thus making it an important target during the invasion . Al Kut lay in the way of the planned Coalition advanced into Baghdad .   On April 3 , 2003 , the 1st Marine Division reached the outskirts of Al Kut , and broadcast a warning to the Iraqi defenders there , ordering them to surrender by 0700 GMT . The deadline passed with no response , and the US launched their assault on Al Kut .   On April 3 , several US military units advanced into Al Kut , meeting little resistance until they closed in within 1,000 yards of their objectives . At that point , Iraqi soldiers and irregulars opened fire with small arms and RPG 's . Fearing a close-quartered urban battle , the US forces remained on the outskirts of the city , returning fire and killing many defenders . Numerous air strikes , including a B-52 strike , were launched on the Iraqi defenses . Numerous GBU-16 missiles were fired from US warplanes , destroying many Iraqi T-62 tanks , BMPs , and support vehicles .   On the ground , American soldiers were briefly pinned down by gunfire from an Iraqi bunker , where numerous Iraqi infantry had gathered . The gunfire was answered by numerous tank rounds and heavy machine gun fire , and after four hours the bunker 's defenders had been killed , injured , or captured . One US soldier , Corporal Mark Evnin , was killed during the battle when he was mortally wounded by enemy machine gun fire .   In a last attempt to drive off the attackers , Iraqi soldiers attempted to charge the American tanks with small arms and machine guns , but were cut down by American tank fire , and the 1st Marine Division advanced into Al Kut . After capturing the city and its bridges , Al Kut was effectively under US control . Several militants of the Fedayeen Saddam continued to hold out within isolated pockets in the city , but no major Iraqi forces now opposed the American drive into Baghdad .   American losses during the battle numbered at least 1 dead , about a dozen wounded , and 1 ACE truck destroyed . Iraqi losses are unclear , but were described as `` heavy '' , with at least 150 -- 250 killed and nearly a thousand wounded .

neg: Abdul Aziz al-Hakim Abdul Aziz al-Hakim ( ; سید عبد العزيز الحكيم 1953 -- 26 August 2009 ) was an Iraqi theologian and politician and the leader of Islamic Supreme Council of Iraq , a party that has approximately 5 % support in the Iraqi Council of Representatives . He also served as the President of the Governing Council of Iraq ( 40th Prime Minister of Iraq )   He was a member of the United States-appointed Iraqi Governing Council and served as its president in December 2003 . Brother of the Shia leader Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim , he replaced him as leader of the Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq when Mohammed Baqir was assassinated in August 2003 in Najaf .

neg: Faisal II of Iraq Faisal II ( Arabic : الملك فيصل الثاني Al-Malik Fayṣal Ath-thānī ) ( 2 May 1935 -- 14 July 1958 ) was the last King of Iraq . He reigned from 4 April 1939 until July 1958 , when he was executed during the 14 July Revolution together with numerous members of his family . This regicide marked the end of the thirty-seven-year-old Hashemite monarchy in Iraq , which then became a republic .

neg: Iraq–Syria relations Iraq -- Syria relations are marked by long-shared cultural and political links , as well as regional rivalry . The two countries took their present form after the Sykes -- Picot Agreement to dismember the Ottoman Empire into British and French spheres of influence after World War I.   Both countries are largely Arab and Muslim , with Kurdish and Christian minorities . Political relations between them have often been hostile . Ever since King Faisal took the Iraqi throne in the early 1920s , Iraqi leaders have dreamed of unifying the two countries . Even during the thaw in Iraqi-Syrian relations during the last years of Saddam Hussein , relations between the two countries were not good . New diplomatic relations established in November 2006 , were heralded as the beginning of an era of close cooperation between Iraq and Syria . Both countries are at war with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant .

neg: 1941 Iraqi coup d'état The 1941 Iraqi coup d'état ( Arabic : ثورة رشيد عالي الكيلاني ) , also called the Rashid Ali Al-Gaylani coup or the Golden Square coup , was a nationalist and pro-Nazi Coup d'état in Iraq on 1 April 1941 that overthrew the pro-British regime of Regent ` Abd al-Ilah and his Prime Minister Nuri al-Said and installed Rashid Ali al-Gaylani as Prime Minister .   The coup was led by four Iraqi nationalist army generals , known as `` the Golden Square '' , who intended to use the war to press for full Iraqi independence following the limited independence granted in 1932 . To that end , they worked with German intelligence and accepted military assistance from Germany and Italy . The change in government led to a British invasion of Iraq and subsequent occupation until 1947 .

neg: Al Abbas Mosque The Al - ` Abbās Mosque or Masjid al - ` Abbās is the mausoleum of ` Abbās ibn ` Alī and historical building , located across from the Imām Husayn Mosque in Karbalā , Iraq . ` Abbās was son of Ali ibn Abi Talib and the half-brother of Hasan and Husayn , and was the flag-bearer for Husayn in the Battle of Karbalā . Also , he was the chief of the caravans of Husayn ibn Ali . The distance between the shrines of ` Abbās and Husayn is the same as the distance between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah . The shrine is especially revered by the Shia who visit it every year , in the month of Muharram rather than various other times of the year .   Environmental effects over the years have caused the Euphrates river to change direction . Nearly 1400 years after the Battle of Karbalā , the river flows across the grave of ` Abbās and encircles it . It is said that the Euphrates has come to ` Abbās now .   In recent years the Shrine has undergone a series of enhancements and additions , such as the re-gilding of the dome , and more recently covering the former courtyard with a roof to accommodate pilgrims better . Each year the shrine is visited by millions of pilgrims coming from all over the world .

neg: Capital punishment in Iraq Capital punishment is a legal penalty in Iraq .   It was commonly used by the government of Saddam Hussein ; and has been since his removal from office . After the invasion of Iraq in 2003 , the U.S. administrator , L. Paul Bremer , suspended capital punishment on June 10 , declaring that `` the former regime used certain provisions of the penal code as a means of oppression , in violation of internationally acknowledged human rights . ''   On August 8 , 2004 , capital punishment was reinstated in Iraq . Iraqi law states that no person over the age of 70 can be executed , despite people like Tariq Aziz , sentenced to death at the age of 74 . There is an automatic right to appeal on all such sentences . Iraqi Law requires execution within 30 days of all legal avenues being exhausted . The last legal step , before the execution proceeds , is for the condemned to be handed a red card . This is completed by an official of the court with details of the judgment and a notice that execution is imminent .   In September 2005 , three murderers were the first people to be executed since the restoration . Then on March 9 , 2006 , an official of Iraq 's Supreme Judicial Council confirmed that Iraqi authorities had executed the first insurgents by hanging .   27 people , including one woman , were executed by the Iraqi government on September 6 , 2006 , for high crimes against civilians .   At least 285 people were sentenced to death in 2008 ; at least 34 were executed . In 2007 , at least 199 people were sentenced to death and 33 executed , in 2006 , at least 65 people were executed . The actual figures could be much higher as there are no available official statistics . ''   There were at least 120 executions in 2009 , overwhelmingly for alleged terrorist offences . More than 900 people , including 17 women , were thought to be at risk of imminent execution in Iraq at the end of 2009 - they had reportedly exhausted all forms of appeal and their death sentences were said to have been ratified by the Presidential Council .   On January 19 , 2012 , 34 people were executed in a single day . Early in October 2013 , 42 people convicted of terrorism charges were hanged over the course of two days . By that date a total of 132 people had been executed in 2013 .   In July 2016 , the Prime minister Haider Al-Abadi ordered the execution of all terrorists condemned in the country following the Baghdad suicide truck bombing which killed over 250 people at a mall in Karrada , Baghdad .

neg: Umm al-Qura Mosque The Umm al-Qura ( `` Mother of All Cities '' ) mosque in Baghdad is the city 's largest place of worship for Sunni Muslims . Originally called the Umm al-Ma ` arik ( `` Mother of All Battles '' ) mosque , it was designed to commemorate Saddam Hussein 's victory in the 1991 Gulf War and was intended to serve as a personal tribute to Saddam himself . It is located in the Sunni-populated al-Adel area of western Baghdad . Costing $ 7.5 million to build , the mosque 's cornerstone was laid on Saddam 's 61st birthday on 28 April 1998 . It was formally completed on 28 April 2001 in time for the ten-year anniversary of the Gulf War .   Although never confirmed by his regime or himself during his lifetime , there has been speculation that it was intended to have been Saddam 's final resting place .   Many architectural features of the mosque and the surrounding complex allude to either Saddam or the war ( or both ) . It has four minarets on its perimeter , each resembling a Kalashnikov rifle barrel and standing 43 m high , marking the 43 days of the Gulf War . Around the dome are another four minarets , each in the shape of a Scud missile on its launchpad standing 37 m high . The dome is set in the middle of a lake in the shape of the Arab world , in which was set a 7.5 m wide mosaic representation of Saddam 's thumbprint with an inset magnified version of his initials , made from gold . The mosque was formerly used to display a Qur ` an written in Saddam 's blood . The 28 fountains of the lake , the four inner minarets and the 37 m height of each minaret together represent the date of Saddam 's birth - 28 April 1937 . The building is constructed from white limestone with blue mosaic decorations , and red , white and black Iraqi flags are painted on the peaks of the inner minarets .   Following the fall of Saddam Hussein in the aftermath of the 2003 invasion of Iraq , the mosque was taken over by a Sunni group called the Association of Muslim Scholars . It became a recruiting site and propaganda centre for the early Iraqi insurgency . The association became a de facto Al Qaeda ally ; its leader Harith Suleiman al-Dhari , who operated out of the mosque , is said to have played a key role in mobilizing insurgents during the 2004 fighting in Fallujah , west of Baghdad . In 2007 , the association was expelled by the Sunni Endowment , a quasi-governmental agency responsible for Sunni mosques in Iraq , which took control of Umm al-Qura .   On 28 August 2011 , the mosque was attacked by a suicide bomber during prayers , killing at least 28 people and injuring 30 more . An Iraqi member of parliament was among the dead .

neg: Tim Risher Tim Risher ( born 1957 ) is an American composer . Risher received his B.A. in Music at the University of Central Florida and his M.M. in music composition from Florida State University . While living in Tallahassee , Florida , Risher was a member of the new music ensembles Paragaté and Tallahassee Camerata .   Risher 's output is typically tonal , with primary influences being minimal music , American and Brazilian popular musics , early music , and American shape note hymnody . Most works feature the use of conventional harmony , with great clarity of individual melodic lines . Risher 's works transcend the superficiality of much popular music , however , in their frequent use of complex canonic and polyphonic structures and additive rhythms .   Risher composes prolifically for ensembles ranging from concert band to Chinese traditional instrumental ensemble . He has also composed works for electronic media and incidental music for theatrical works . His most significant output , however , comprises works for brass instruments ( a preference likely shaped by his experience as a trombonist ) and for early ( Medieval , Renaissance , and Baroque ) instrument ensembles .   Risher 's works for early instruments have been commissioned by a number of major ensembles , including Palladian Ensemble , Baroque Northwest , Tintagel , and Trio Dolce . Although his works for early instruments are clearly composed from a twentieth ( or twenty-first ) century point of reference , Risher 's writing for such instruments is surprisingly idiomatic , showing his great familiarity with early instruments and genres . Among Risher 's favorite forms for such works are the ground bass and chaconne .   His music has been released on the Index , PhonoStatic , and Discus record labels and his scores are published by Wehr 's Music House .   Risher lived in Hamburg , Germany between the years of 1995 and 2005 , and now lives in North Carolina .   He is a member of the electronic group `` Paragaté '' , and has released a set of CDs on the Camerata label .

On March 16 , 2014 , he wrote `` Coaches have used my ` RICE ' guideline for decades , but now it appears that both Ice and complete Rest may delay healing , instead of helping . In a recent study , athletes were told to exercise so intensely that they developed severe muscle damage that caused extensive muscle soreness . Although cooling delayed swelling , it did not hasten recovery from this muscle damage . ''   RICE is considered a first-aid treatment , rather than a cure for soft tissue injuries .

neg: BAFTA Award for Best Film The BAFTA Award for Best Film is given annually by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and presented at the British Academy Film Awards . It has been given since the 1st BAFTA Awards , representing the best films of 1947 , but until 1969 it was called the BAFTA Award for Best Film From Any Source . It is possible for films from any country to be nominated , although British films are also recognised in the category BAFTA Award for Best British Film and ( since 1983 ) foreign-language films in BAFTA Award for Best Film Not in the English Language . As such , there have been multiple occasions of a film being nominated in two of these categories .   There has been one tie for the Best Film award when , in 1962 , Ballad of a Soldier tied with The Hustler for Best Film from any Source . Until 1981 , the award was given to the director , except in 1976 and 1977 , when it was given to the producers . From 1981 to 1985 , it was given solely to the producers , and then in 1986 , it was shared between the Director and Producer . In 1998 , it was once again given to only the producers .   In the following lists , the titles and names in bold with a dark grey background are the winners and recipients respectively ; those not in bold are the nominees .
