Answer to Question 1

A Spanish sofrito is the classic aromatic vegetable combination which is used at
the start of multiple Spanish dishes. Its ingredients are onions, garlic, tomatoes,
and parsley, and olive oil (sometimes green pepper). The procedure is to cook the
onion slowly in olive oil, almost like a braised vegetable, until the onion is golden.
The other ingredients are added throughout the process until there is a thick mass.
This is the flavoring base that is used by itself as a tomato sauce, or as the
beginning of the fillings for empanadas, the base of paella and most Spanish stews
and soups.

These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
