Example KBA Rating Task Published: March 31, 2012 Impact of Thoughts on Water By Denis Gorce-Bourge Water covers 70% of our Blue planet and our body is made of about 70% water. Masaru Emoto is a Japanese Photographer and scientist. He is known over the world for his remarkable work on water and its deep connection with individual and collective consciousness. For decades, Masaru took pictures of frozen crystals of water and tested the direct influence of the environment on the quality of those crystals. Pollution has a direct impact on the beauty of a frozen crystal but as well words, music and thoughts. He tested the quality of water crystals by exposing it to various conditions: to written words like hate and violence and Love and gratitude. The results were just astonishing. The crystal exposed to Love and gratitude was beautiful and perfectly formed where the other one was severely degraded. He demonstrated as well the impact of Heavy Metal music versus Mozart or Beethoven and how the vibration of music impacts water. The very shape of water crystals is modified by violence, aggression, and negative words.

Event-type Entities Defined by a cluster of entities and possibly a Type-of-Event from a taxonomy WP/FB for cluster of entities, possibly also event itself. Provides causality info Judgments on docs for that Type-of-Event but different specific event. Find training data from TDT? Use citations in Category:Current _events? Judge post-hoc?
