More recent archaeological excavations at the (16) ---- city of Babylon in Iraq uncovered the foundation of the palace. Other findings include the Vaulted Building with thick walls and an irrigation well near the southern palace. A group of archaeologists surveyed the area of the southern palace and reconstructed the Vaulted Building as the Hanging Gardens. However, the Greek historian Strabo (17) ---- that the gardens were situated by the River Euphrates. So others argue that the site is (18) ---- far from the Euphrates to support the theory since the Vaulted Building is several hundreds of meters away. They reconstructed the site of the palace and located the Gardens in the area stretching from the River (19) ---- the Palace. On the river banks, recently (20) ---- massive walls 25 m thick may have been stepped to form terraces, the ones described in Greek references.

Cuba has survived more than 40 years of US sanctions intended to (11) ---- the government of Fidel Castro.

(12) ---- the fall of the US-backed dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista in 1959, Cuba has been a one-party state led by Castro, who exercises control (13) ---- virtually all aspects of Cuban life through the Communist Party and its affiliated mass organizations, the government bureaucracy and the state security apparatus. Exploiting the US-Soviet Cold War, Castro was for decades able to rely on strong Soviet backing, including annual subsidies (14) ---- $ 4-5 billion, and succeed in building reputable health and education systems. But, at least partly because of the US trade sanctions, he failed to diversify the economy, (15) ---- continues to depend on sugar exports.

In 1950, the first computer chess program was written by Alan Turing, a British researcher (6) ---- the field of digital computers. At the time, Turing had to settle with a simulation of the execution of his program (7) ---- pencil and paper. Turing's program was a (8) ---- player, but it served well its main purpose: it showed that computers can play chess. In the same year, Claude Shannon plotted a plan of action for computers to eventually be programmed to play good chess. Given the (9) ---- low speed of computers in the 1950 it was not clear (10) ---- computers would ever be able to beat humans even in games as simple as checkers.
