Germany is a federal republic consisting of sixteen federal states (German: Bundesland, or Land).[a] Since today's Germany was formed from an earlier collection of several states, it has a federal constitution, and the constituent states retain a measure of sovereignty. With an emphasis on geographical conditions, Berlin and Hamburg are frequently called Stadtstaaten (city-states), as is the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen, which in fact includes the cities of Bremen and Bremerhaven. The remaining 13 states are called Flächenländer (literally: area states). What is the answer to: How many federal states are in Stadtstaaten?

Article in Vietnamese: Phương pháp để hoa khô tự nhiên sẽ có hiệu quả cao nhất khi hoa mới chớm nở. Trong quá trình làm khô, hoa sẽ nở thêm một chút. Nếu bạn chọn hoa đã nở to, hoa sẽ bị rụng cánh trong quá trình khô. Nên áp dụng phương pháp này cho các loài hoa nhỏ và khỏe như hoa oải hương hoặc phi yến thảo. Hoa héo và bị sâu hại khi khô sẽ xấu hơn. Vì vậy, hãy chọn những bông hoa đẹp nhất, và hái nhiều hơn số hoa định làm khô để đề phòng bị hỏng. Hoa đủ khô là khi cánh hoa trở nên giòn. Đôi khi, bạn sẽ mất nhiều hơn 4 tuần để làm hoa khô vì điều kiện phòng không lý tưởng hoặc cánh hoa quá dày. Cuống hoa khi đã khô thường rất thẳng. Nếu bạn muốn cuống hoa có độ cong tự nhiên, hãy ngâm cuống hoa đã khô vào nước ấm cho đến khi mềm và uốn cong theo ý muốn. Sau đó, bạn phải giữ cuống hoa cố định như vậy cho đến khi khô hoàn toàn.

He described it as "unnecessary and wrong and must not be used again".
It follows media reports alleging that several people suspected to be connected to the murder of a senior police officer had been tortured.
Ugandan security officials have been accused by human rights groups of using torture to get confessions.
Mr Museveni said torture was wrong because it was sometimes employed on innocent people, which was unfair, and could lead them to admitting guilt to stop the pain.
He also said that good investigators could obtain convictions without using torture.
Assistant Inspector General of Police Andrew Felix Kaweesi, the third most senior police officer in the country, was shot dead outside his house in March.
Ugandan newspapers have shown suspects charged in the murder of Mr Kaweesi with visible signs of injuries when they appeared in court.
On Sunday, Maria Burnett from Human Rights Watch (HRW) called for police to take suspects' allegations of torture seriously. She also said the officers allegedly involved should be investigated "for torture and mistreatment".
She added that HRW has spoken to hundreds of witnesses over the last 15 years who have complained of being tortured.
Uganda ratified the United Nations Convention against Torture in 1986, which means that torture should be outlawed in the country.

Summarize: German Rosberg, who has a 19-point advantage, will seal the championship if he is victorious at Interlagos, where he has won the past two seasons.
The Briton has never won in Brazil but clinched his first title here in 2008.
"I have had lots of experiences here. It's tough to come here and win, that's the goal," said the world champion.
"I don't really know why I have not won here.
"It is the right time to right that wrong and make that change. I have worked hard to prepare training-wise and at the factory. I feel the best prepared here than I have in any of the last 10 years and I hope that shows in the results."
On his position in the championship, the 31-year-old added: "There is no real point thinking about it. I know what I have to do.
"My goal is to try to win these last two races. There will be some things out of my hands and there have been this year.
"I don't know what's going to happen but as long as I leave these two races knowing I drove my best, that will have to be enough for me."
Rosberg said he just needed to do a "good job" this weekend.
He said: "I love the track. It is a great track. It feels good. I have always gone well here.
"I have great memories from those two wins but, at the same time, we all start from zero this weekend.
"I am feeling great, of course, because it is awesome to be fighting for the world championship with two races to go. I am looking forward to it and of course trying to go for the win."
In dry conditions, Mercedes would be expected to dominate but wet weather could bring other teams into play, particularly Red Bull, and rain is forecast for the race on Sunday.
Red Bull's Daniel Ricciardo said: "It looks like it will be potentially wet, which would make it interesting. There is less pressure on the rest of us. If there is an opportunity, we go for it. It will be fun and we'll see how it pans out on Sunday."

Summarize this document: But this August bank holiday, sculptor Andrew Logan will celebrate a quarter of a century exhibiting his imaginative, flamboyant, and sometimes outright weird pieces.
Mr Logan claims the Andrew Logan Museum of Sculpture is the only museum in Europe dedicated to a living artist.
Influenced by his love of nature and travel, his works include a Cosmic Egg, The Living Taj Mahal and Egypt Revisited.
Born in Witney, Oxfordshire in 1945, Mr Logan qualified in architecture in the late 1960s, before finding fame as an artist amongst London's fashionable crowd; creating a sculpted rose garden for trendy boutique Biba.
His work has been exhibited as far afield as Los Angeles, Monterrey in Mexico, St Petersburg and Mumbai.
Amongst his fans and muses are Rocky Horror Show's Richard O'Brien and Patricia Quinn, along with musician Brian Eno, broadcaster Mavis Nicholson, actresses Rula Lenska and Amanda Barrie, and fashion designer Dame Zandra Rhodes, of whom Mr Logan has created a life-sized, moving sculpture.
But perhaps his biggest influence is the late American actor, singer and drag queen Divine, who inspired Mr Logan's Alternative Miss World pageants.
Last held in 2014 when it sold out Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, Mr Logan said the Alternative Miss World was: "Not about beauty - it's about transformation - and when it comes to costume absolutely anything goes.
"Contestants over the years have been famous and infamous, celebrated and unknown, a parade of freaks, fops, show offs and drag queens... anything can - and often does - happen."
The climax of the event is a "tear stained coronation", with Mr Logan's Crown Jewels made of broken mirrors; which are on display in the museum along with many of the contestants' costumes.
This weekend's birthday party has included music and art workshops, a street party and a treasure hunt, for which the prize was a silver sculpture created by Mr Logan.
"We had such a wonderful time at the museum opening that we thought it would be wonderful to do another one," he said.

Refer to the passage below and then answer the question afterwards in the same language as the passage:
Passage: Both medications and neurorehabilitation have been shown to improve some symptoms, though neither changes the course of the disease. Some symptoms have a good response to medication, such as an unstable bladder and spasticity, while others are little changed. For neurologic problems, a multidisciplinary approach is important for improving quality of life; however, it is difficult to specify a 'core team' as many health services may be needed at different points in time. Multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs increase activity and participation of people with MS but do not influence impairment level. There is limited evidence for the overall efficacy of individual therapeutic disciplines, though there is good evidence that specific approaches, such as exercise, and psychological therapies are effective. Cognitive behavioral therapy has shown to be moderately effective for reducing MS fatigue.

Question: Who crashes an expensive catamaran?
Title: The Thomas Crown Affair
Movie plot: John McTiernan did a great job directing this movie. There is subtlety in many scenes which help enrich the story. These can be easily missed if you don't pay attention. The score is well chosen and fits each situation like a glove and adds to the enjoyment of the movie. The acting is very good and I think its one of Brosnan's better portrayals. René Russo is quite lovely and does a very nice job of portraying Katherine Banning, the art thief recovery detective. She had a lot of guts doing the nude scenes at her age, she does look great. There is a fair amount of explicit and implicit sex but it is done in a tasteful manner.Thomas Crown is a wealthy and adventurous businessman who savors a good challenge. Among other diversions, he crashes an expensive catamaran while racing and bets $100,000 on a golf swing simply because "it's a beautiful Saturday morning," and there is not much else to do.Crown orchestrates an elaborate New York museum heist to steal a painting (San Giorgio Maggiore at dusk) by Monet valued at $100 million. The insurers of the artwork send ace insurance investigator Catherine Banning to assist Detective Michael McCann and the police in solving the crime.From the beginning, Banning suspects Crown is behind the theft. A game of cat-and-mouse ensues that results in their becoming lovers and gives Crown exactly what he was seeking, as his psychiatrist puts it: "A worthy adversary."To prove his sincerity and test her loyalty to him, Crown returns to the museum under the eye of Banning and dozens of police officers, vowing to put the stolen painting back.So pay attention and enjoy this treat.

Review: This was my introduction to Garwood,and haven't stopped reading her since. I laughed throughout the whole book. The little disasters Sara caused had me howling. I've read this story over and over again and always enjoy it. Yes, Sara is a little naive, but come on, in those days, ladies were sheltered from the world. Nathan is just what Sara dreamed of, and I enjoyed reading about them. Who doesn't secretly fanatize about their own knight on a white horse, or in this case, on the high seas. Read this book, and let yourself enjoy it for what it is, a funny, romantic getaway.

Procure um advogado especializado em casos de bullying ou assédio no ambiente de trabalho. A maioria faz uma consulta inicial grátis para dar conselhos sobre como proceder antes de denunciar o comportamento. Talvez você não tenha a intenção de fazer uma denúncia legal do caso. No entanto, um advogado pode ajudá-lo a entender que tipo de informação você precisa fornecer à empresa e como deve descrever a acusação. Se a firma tiver um manual como esse, é provável que ele inclua informações sobre as políticas da empresa em relação ao assédio no ambiente de trabalho. Leia-as atentamente e siga os procedimentos que encontrar. Preste bastante atenção às palavras usadas no manual que descrevem a conduta proibida. Pode ser benéfico se você repetir as mesmas palavras quando for fazer a sua denúncia formal. Se houver uma pessoa específica listada a quem você deve fazer as denúncias, planeje falar com essa pessoa, a menos que se sinta desconfortável com ela ou ache que, por algum motivo, ela não seria muito justa com a sua acusação. Se a sua empresa for grande o suficiente para ter esse departamento, você deve iniciar o processo de denúncia de bullying ou assédio nesse local. Os funcionários de recursos humanos poderão explicá-lo e orientá-lo no processo de registro de uma denúncia. Eles também poderão fazer algumas mudanças que aliviem a situação durante esse momento. Por exemplo, eles podem alterar seus horários ou transferi-lo temporariamente para outro departamento para que você tenha menos encontros com a pessoa que o está assediando ou fazendo bullying. Se acha que a empresa tem documentos que podem provar que o bullying está de fato ocorrendo ou que está causando um efeito adverso no seu emprego, informe especificamente quais são esses documentos. Não tente procurá-los se você normalmente não tem acesso a eles. Por exemplo, se houver câmeras na firma, alguns dos incidentes podem ter sido registrados.

Article: In what is one of Brazil's biggest environmental disasters, about 62 million cubic metres of mud spilled from the dam and flooded a vast area.
At least 17 people were killed. Two are still missing.
The cause of the burst is still unclear but the Brazilian government has filed a lawsuit against Samarco, the joint venture between mining giants BHP Billiton and Vale, which owned the dam.
The area was closed off for four weeks while rescue workers and investigators searched the mud.
A month after the disaster, Brazilian journalist Nina Neves and photographer Ismael dos Anjos travelled to Bento Rodrigues and nearby Paracatu de Baixo to examine the damage caused.
It was afternoon when Bento Rodrigues was swallowed by a river of mud.
The residents, who had had no warning of the impending disaster, could do little more than run for their lives.
The force of the mud took everything in its path, bending metal and flattening homes.
The site has been abandoned since the mud flow hit.
Children's toys and people's belongings are scattered throughout the village, a stark reminder of the lively village Bento Rodrigues once was.
Some areas of Bento Rodrigues look like twister has torn through it, with metal rods and pieces of wood littering the ground.
The force of the mud flow carried washing machines far from the homes where they once stood.
But some smaller items, such as these religious statuettes, survived the impact.
Behind the ruins of Bento Rodrigues's school, the swings are suspended in mud, giving a strange illusion of motion in the deserted village.
Paracatu de Baixo was the second village in the path of the mud flow.
Residents here were luckier than those of Bento Rodrigues as they received some warning of the disaster and could take refuge.
No-one died here, but a tree left standing bears the marks of the mud and shows the height it reached.
Some residents have been back to look for remains of their belongings in the rubble, but most found very little that was salvageable.

Movie title: The Dentist
Context: Dr. Alan Feinstone is a successful dentist. However, everything changes on the day of his wedding anniversary, when he discovers his wife Brooke is cheating on him with the poolman, Matt. After they finish, Alan retrieves his pistol and follows Matt in his car. He is led to Paula Roberts's house, a friend of Brooke's. Alan invents a story about a surprise party for Brooke and watches Paula invite Matt inside. Paula's dog attacks Alan, and he shoots it in self-defense. After returning to his car, he drives to work.
At his dental practice, Alan's first appointment goes poorly when he hallucinates a child has rotten teeth and accidentally stabs him. As Detective Gibbs investigates the death of Paula's dog, Alan sees his second patient, April Reign, a beauty queen. Alan hallucinates she is his wife, and, while she is unconscious, takes off her pantyhose and fondles her before choking her. As she wakes, Alan snaps out of it and hides her pantyhose. Alan tells his manager, Steve Landers, she is still dizzy from nitrous oxide. When Steve realizes what really happened, he returns, punches Alan, and threatens a lawsuit. Alan ends the day early and sends his staff and patients home, including Sarah, a teenager who wants to have her braces removed.
Later that night, Brooke meets Alan at a new opera-themed room at his practice. After sedating her under the premise of cleaning her teeth, he pulls out her teeth and cuts off her tongue. Detective Gibbs and his partner Detective Sunshine arrive at Alan's house the next morning to ask him questions. After the policemen leave, Matt discovers Brooke, who is still alive but sedated. Alan stabs Matt to death.
Sarah and Paula are waiting for Alan at his practice. Alan sees Paula first, much to Sarah's disappointment.

Generate a question about the following movie plot: Arthur Holmwood attempts to cure the syphilis with which he was born and which also caused the death of his father. Arthur receives his diagnosis soon after becoming engaged to Lucy Westenra. He contacts an occult group called the Brotherhood, which is being led by a man named Singleton. The Brotherhood claims that it can clean his polluted blood, but for a price.[clarification needed]
Lucy's best friend is Mina Murray. Mina's fiancé, Jonathan Harker, has just passed his solicitorâs exams. Arthur hires his firm to convey several properties of England, and Jonathan will bring the documents to Count Dracula in Transylvania. Not so long after Jonathan leaves, his boss is murdered and all documents about the transaction vanish. Singleton calmly confesses the deed, telling Arthur the "young man" will never return from Transylvania.
In Transylvania, Jonathan meets Dracula, but survives only long enough to attract Dracula's attention to Mina. Energized by Jonathan's blood, Dracula is soon en route to England aboard the Demeter. A newly married woman, Lucy watches the wreck of the ship as it arrives in a storm. Then Lucy and her friend Mina visit Holmwood Castle in Whitby so they can comfort each other.
The Demeter seemingly contains nothing but its dead captain and some cargo. Mina and Lucy both meet a stranger, Count Dracula, at a nearby graveyard. Arthur, enraged[clarification needed] to find Dracula in his home (invited by Lucy for dinner), finds himself powerless as Lucy suddenly falls victim to the vampire. Arthur's old friend, Dr. Seward, is suspicious when Arthur refuses to take Lucy to the hospital. Arthur then forces Seward at gunpoint to give her a blood transfusion. Lucy later dies and Seward is convinced Arthur is responsible for her illness.
Seward investigates and finds the Chelsea home of the Brotherhood, where Singleton and others have been murdered. In the basement, surrounded by crosses made of twigs, he finds Van Helsing living like an animal, insisting they must free him at once.

First, read the French article below.
Si vous avez l'impression que votre seule option est d'inventer une excuse admissible ou si vous voulez tenter votre chance, faites-le avec précaution. Les professeurs connaissent bien de nombreuses excuses (« mon chien l'a mangé ») et ils ne vont pas se laisser duper aussi facilement. Il est difficile de jouer au plus malin avec un professeur qui a des années d'expérience avec les étudiants et leurs excuses. Ils en connaissent des dizaines et ils peuvent souvent reconnaitre les excuses incongrues et savoir que vous mentez . Si vous voulez lui montrer que vous avez fait quelque chose (même si ce n'est pas le cas), vous pouvez rendre votre devoir méconnaissable. Présentez-lui le devoir illisible ou détruit pour lui apporter la « preuve » de votre honnêteté. Froissez et déchirez le papier. Dites-lui ensuite que votre devoir s'est envolé par la fenêtre et que les passants ont marché dessus. Étalez de la terre et de l'eau sur le devoir et affirmez qu'il est tombé dans une flaque. Renversez un liquide foncé dessus (par exemple du café ou de l'encre) pour que les écritures deviennent illisibles.

(CNN) -- The fall of dictatorships does not guarantee the creation of free societies. There is often a period in which we witness the legacy of tyranny. The Arab uprisings have overthrown tyrants in Egypt and Libya, but the populations and lawmakers have yet to grasp that democracy is not only about free elections but creating free societies. When sexual harassment of women increases on the streets of Egypt, when centuries-old shrines of Muslim saints are destroyed with explosives in Libya, when screenings of films such as "Persepolis" trigger riots in Tunisia and Christian minorities across the Middle East feel under siege, then we must stop pretending that all is well with the Arab Spring. But all is not lost either. Arab societies are on a journey. They can easily take the wrong turn. The attacks on the American embassies in Libya, Egypt and Yemen are examples of the ongoing presence of intolerant, tyrannical actors in Arab societies. These are people who were born and raised in dictatorships. They are accustomed to thinking that a government controls its citizens -- that a film or documentary cannot be produced without government approval. For decades, this has been the reality of their lives, and they strongly believe that the Western world and its citizens have a similarly controlling relationship between individuals and government. In light of this assumption, they hold the U.S. government responsible for the tacky and distasteful film produced by a right-wing Muslimphobe. News: Who is responsible for film at the heart of protests? Little wonder, then, that Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy has called for the prosecution by the U.S government of the filmmakers, and Egypt's top cleric, Mufti Ali Goma, has called on the United Nations to forbid denigration of faiths. Morsy studied in the United States and Ali Goma regularly visits the West on the interfaith circuit, yet both men don't yet grasp that religious freedom and the freedom of expression are inextricably linked in America.

If you don't have enough evidence that fraud is taking place, law enforcement simply won't have enough to go on. You want to have enough evidence that law enforcement will at least launch an investigation. Generally, you should be able to show that the organizer intentionally misrepresented the facts in some way, and that they did so to try to take advantage of people's generosity and charitable spirit. If you have evidence that the person never in fact used the funds they raised for their stated purpose, that can be helpful too. Start by taking screen captures of the campaign page itself and any other websites where you found information, such as the organizer's website or other campaigns the organizer opened on other crowdfunding platforms. Make copies of any other information you have, such as email or other communication with the campaign organizer. Particularly if the campaign organizer is local, you may want to report the fraud locally. In most cases, your local police won't do anything if the organizer is located elsewhere. However, you can still file a report if you wish. Even if the organizer is located far away, local police may get involved if the campaign purports to benefit local victims, or if significant numbers of people locally have donated to the campaign. If you file a police report, make sure you get a copy of the written report and keep it for your records. It may be helpful when filing complaints with other law enforcement agencies, and can help them coordinate their efforts. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) takes consumer complaints from people who have been defrauded by fake charity scams, including crowdfunding scams on sites such as GoFundMe.

My college roommate asked me what this article means:
Claudio Sciarpelletti has been accused of helping Paolo Gabriele leak the confidential documents while working in the Vatican's Secretariat of State.
Mr Sciarpelletti's lawyer argued that his client has no case to answer and the trial should be dropped.
Gabriele was given an 18-month prison sentence by the same court last month.
He admitted passing documents to a journalist, but said he did it out of love for the church and the Pope.
The former butler is serving his sentence in a special detention room inside the Vatican's police station, amid talk that he may be pardoned by Pope Benedict XVI.
Mr Sciarpelletti, 48, handled secret communications in the Vatican's Secretariat of State, the nerve centre of the Roman Catholic church.
His lawyer said an anonymous tip-off led Vatican police to search Mr Sciarpelletti's desk last May - finding an envelope addressed to Gabriele containing copies of sensitive documentation that had been leaked to the Italian media.
During his brief arrest, he is said to have given confused and contradictory explanations to investigators.
Defence lawyer Gianluca Benedetti denied the claims that the former butler and Mr Sciarpelletti had been good friends, and said his client had been in an "emotional state" in his interviews with investigators.
The Vatican has since said he played a "marginal" role in the scandal.
Senior Vatican communications officer, Greg Burke, said that although Mr Sciarpelletti was being charged with aiding and abetting Gabriele, it was "more like an obstruction charge" relating to his contradictory testimony, the Associated Press reports.
However, the judge refused Mr Benedetti's request to drop the trial, and said the next hearing would be scheduled for Saturday. Analysts say his trial is likely to be shorter than Gabriele's which lasted for a week.
Interest in the case centres on who the witnesses called to give evidence may be, correspondents say. A senior cleric and two top Vatican security officials are expected to be called, as well as Gabriele himself.

Se o corte estiver sangrando bastante, o primeiro passo é estancá-lo. Para isso, aplique pressão ao local utilizando um pano limpo ou gaze e não retire até que o sangramento tenha parado totalmente. Machucados no rosto geralmente sangram mais que em outras partes do corpo, passando a impressão de que a situação é pior do que realmente é. Chorar só piora o sangramento, portanto, acalme-se e não chore. Se o corte for profundo, principalmente ao ocorrer perfuração, o melhor a se fazer é ir imediatamente ao hospital. Machucados grandes e muito abertos quase sempre precisam de pontos e de uma limpeza realizada por um profissional capacitado, enquanto lesões superficiais geralmente podem ser tratadas em casa. Antes de tocar uma ferida aberta de qualquer maneira, não se esqueça de lavas as mãos cuidadosamente utilizando água morna e sabão. Enxágue as duas, os punhos e também a parte entre os dedos, secando com uma toalha limpa. Este passo é muito importante para diminuir as chances de infecção no machucado. Limpe-o com cuidado utilizando água e sabão; não se esqueça de enxaguar o sabão que permanecer na lesão e remover sujeiras e detritos do local. A água deve ser fria ou morna. Se ela estiver fervente, pode fazer com que o sangramento recomece. Tenha paciência e vá com calma neste passo. Ao observar sujeira no corte, use um pano macio para auxiliar na remoção. Caso seja necessário, esterilize uma pinça com álcool e utilize-a para auxiliar na retirada dos detritos da lesão. Não aplique peróxido de hidrogênio ou iodo; o tecido pode apresentar irritação ou danos. Uma pomada antibiótica como Neosporin ou Polysporin é a melhor alternativa. Caso não tenha como adquiri-las, vaselina é também uma opção viável. Cremes ou tratamentos caros que dizem reduzir a marca deixada pela cicatrização geralmente não dão os efeitos esperados. Coloque uma bandagem ou band-aid sobre o local machucado; isso poderá incomodar um pouco, principalmente no rosto, mas é importante evitar infecções em potencial. Coloque a bandagem sobre o...

This is a good way to freshen up your wardrobe and to mix-and-match your friends’ different styles.

If you always frequent the same store, then your style won’t necessarily change. Visit a few new shops to check out other styles. Most people wear jeans at least some of the time. They’re comfortable and easy and they match just about everything. But they can also get you into a slump with your overall look. Try going a week without wearing jeans. Try skirts, sundresses, or slacks instead to dress up your look. Many women wear the wrong size of bra, and consequently, clothes don’t always fit or look the way they should. Go to a department store or lingerie store and ask the sales clerk to measure you for a bra. You might find that you are more comfortable and confident when you wear the correct size.

The holiday isn't widely celebrated in Mexico
Article:
(CNN) If you didn't already know, Cinco de Mayo is a bigger deal in the United States than in Mexico. Here, this unofficial holiday is almost as popular as, oh, St. Patrick's Day -- which means it's unfortunately become a drinking holiday. So much so that it's been nicknamed, Cinco de Drinko and even Gringo de Mayo. Actually, Thursday, commemorates Mexico's victory against the French during the Battle of Puebla in 1862, and according to research by UCLA professor David Hayes-Bautista, it isn't a Mexican holiday at all but rather an American one created by Latinos in California during the Civil War.

Sempre que falar com alguém, deixe tudo registrado para não se esquecer de nenhum detalhe e incorporar tudo o que puder na sua performance. Tem a possibilidade de fazer uma viagem para lugares onde a maconha é permitida? Então vá a pontos onde o consumo é comum e fique de olho no comportamento das pessoas. Se você está em algum país onde a maconha é legalizada e é maior de idade, veja qual efeito ela tem sobre você. Nunca fumou antes? Então vá com calma! Dá para usar a maconha de vários jeitos, seja fumando ou comendo, mesclando-a na massa de brownies, brigadeiros e outros doces. Para se preparar para o papel, deixe um caderninho por perto enquanto estiver sob o efeito da droga, para anotar tudo o que você estiver sentindo e como está se comportando. A maconha também tem efeitos colaterais nada bacanas. Ela diminui seu tempo de reação, portanto se fumou, não dirija. O efeito costuma passar depois de umas três ou quatro horas, então prefira não sair em público durante esse tempo. Além de tudo, a planta também aumenta a frequência cardíaca e, se você tem algum problema no coração, esse é mais um motivo para ficar longe da droga. | eng | train | xP3 | Multitask |

Neil Hamilton stepped down from Ukip selection tonight as it emerged he was facing questions over expenses claims he made as deputy chairman of the party. The former Tory MP is under scrutiny from the Ukip finance committee over expenses he allegedly claimed for staying at his wife Christine's London flat. Details of the expenses claims emerged in a leaked letter before Mr Hamilton told party members at a hustings meeting in Essex that he would not be standing for election there. He had been one of five candidates in the running to become Ukip's candidate for the seat of South Basildon and East Thurrock. Mr Hamilton made the announcement before hustings began at the meeting, saying he had only stood because a local councillor, Kerry Smith, had been deselected as the party's prospective parliamentary candidate for the seat in October, only to be later reinstated. Announcing his decision to step aside and backing of Mr Smith, Mr Hamilton told the BBC: 'He should never has been deselected in the first place, in my opinion, and he will make an excellent member of parliament for Basildon.' 'I would not have put my hat into the ring if I'd known that Kerry was going to be a candidate. 'I didn't know until I got here that his name was included in the ballot paper.' Mr Smith was later selected for the seat. Last month, Mr Hamilton withdrew from the race to become UKIP's candidate for Boston and Skegness.

Information:
- Giuliano da Sangallo (c. 14451516) was an Italian sculptor, architect and military engineer active during the Italian Renaissance. He is known primarily for being the favored architect of Lorenzo de' Medici, his patron. In this role, Giuliano designed a villa for Lorenzo as well as a monastery for Augustinian monks and a church where a miracle was said to have taken place. Additionally, Giuliano was commissioned to build multiple structures for Pope Julius II and Pope Leo X. Leon Battista Alberti and Filippo Brunelleschi heavily influenced Sangallo and in turn, he influenced other important Renaissance figures such as Raphael, Leonardo da Vinci, his brother Antonio da Sangallo the Elder, and his nephew, Antonio da Sangallo the Younger.
- Antonio da Sangallo the Younger (12 April 1485 3 August 1546), also known as Antonio da San Gallo, was an Italian architect active during the Renaissance, mainly in Rome and the Papal States.
- Pope Julius II (5 December 1443 21 February 1513), nicknamed "The Fearsome Pope" and "The Warrior Pope", born Giuliano della Rovere, was Pope from 1 November 1503 to his death in 1513. His papacy was marked by an active foreign policy, ambitious building projects, and patronage for the artshe commissioned the destruction and rebuilding of St. Peter's Basilica, plus Michelangelo's decoration of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. In addition to an active military policy, he personally led troops into battle on at least two occasions.
- Central Italy (or just ) is one of the five official statistical regions of Italy used by the National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT), a first level NUTS region and a European Parliament constituency.
- Italy, officially the Italian Republic, is a unitary parliamentary republic in Europe. Located in the heart of the Mediterranean Sea, Italy shares open land borders with France, Switzerland, Austria, Slovenia, San Marino and Vatican City. Italy covers an area of and has a largely temperate seasonal climate and Mediterranean climate; due to its shape, it is often referred to in Italy as "lo Stivale" (the Boot). With 61 million inhabitants, it is the fourth most populous EU member state.
- Florence is the capital city of the Italian region of Tuscany and of the Metropolitan City of Florence. It is the most populous city in Tuscany, with 383,083 inhabitants, expanding to over 1,520,000 in the metropolitan area.
- Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni (6 March 1475 18 February 1564) was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, and poet of the High Renaissance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art. Considered to be the greatest living artist during his lifetime, he has since been described as one of the greatest artists of all time. Despite making few forays beyond the arts, his versatility in the disciplines he took up was of such a high order that he is often considered a contender for the title of the archetypal Renaissance man, along with his rival and fellow Florentine Medici client, Leonardo da Vinci.
- Lorenzo de' Medici (1 January 1449 9 April 1492) was an Italian statesman and "de facto" ruler of the Florentine Republic, who was one of the most powerful and enthusiastic patrons of the Renaissance. Also known as Lorenzo the Magnificent ("Lorenzo il Magnifico" ) by contemporary Florentines, he was a magnate, diplomat, politician and patron of scholars, artists and poets. He is well known for his contribution to the art world by sponsoring artists such as Botticelli and Michelangelo. His life coincided with the mature phase of Italian Renaissance and his death coincided with the end of the Golden Age of Florence. The fragile peace that he helped maintain among the various Italian states collapsed with his death. He is buried in the Medici Chapel in Florence.
- The Italian Renaissance was the earliest manifestation of the general European Renaissance, a period of great cultural change and achievement that began in Italy during the 14th century and lasted until the 16th century, marking the transition between Medieval and Early Modern Europe. The term Renaissance is in essence a modern one that came into currency in the 19th century, in the work of historians such as Jules Michelet and Jacob Burckhardt. Although the origins of a movement that was confined largely to the literate culture of intellectual endeavor and patronage can be traced to the earlier part of the 14th century, many aspects of Italian culture and society remained largely Medieval; the Renaissance did not come into full swing until the end of the century. The French word "renaissance" ("Rinascimento" in Italian) means "Rebirth", and the era is best known for the renewed interest in the culture of classical antiquity after the period that Renaissance humanists labeled the Dark Ages.
- Raffaello Sanzio da Urbino (March 28 or April 6, 1483April 6, 1520), known as Raphael, was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance. His work is admired for its clarity of form, ease of composition, and visual achievement of the Neoplatonic ideal of human grandeur. Together with Michelangelo and Leonardo da Vinci, he forms the traditional trinity of great masters of that period.
- Bastiano da Sangallo ( 1481 -- May 31 , 1551 ) was an Italian sculptor and painter of the Renaissance period , active mainly in Tuscany . He was a nephew of Giuliano da Sangallo and Antonio da Sangallo the Elder . He is usually known as Aristotile , a nickname he received from his air of sententious gravity . He was at first a pupil of Perugino , but afterwards became a follower of Michelangelo . Mentioned by Vasari as one who made a small copy of the Cartoon of Michelangelo 's Battle of Cascina ( 1506 ) .
- Filippo Brunelleschi (1377 April 15, 1446) was an Italian designer and a key figure in architecture, recognised to be the first modern engineer, planner and sole construction supervisor.
He was one of the founding fathers of the Renaissance. He is generally well known for developing a technique for linear perspective in art and for building the dome of the Florence Cathedral. Heavily depending on mirrors and geometry, to "reinforce Christian spiritual reality", his formulation of linear perspective governed pictorial depiction of space until the late 19th century. It also had the most profound and quite unanticipated influence on the rise of modern science. His accomplishments also include other architectural works, sculpture, mathematics, engineering, and ship design. His principal surviving works are to be found in Florence, Italy. Unfortunately, his two original linear perspective panels have been lost.
- Pope Leo X (11 December 1475 1 December 1521), born Giovanni di Lorenzo de' Medici, was Pope from 9 March 1513 to his death in 1521. The second son of Lorenzo the Magnificent, ruler of the Florentine Republic, he was elevated to the cardinalate in 1489.
- Leon Battista Alberti (February 14, 1404 April 25, 1472) was an Italian humanist author, artist, architect, poet, priest, linguist, philosopher and cryptographer; he epitomised the Renaissance Man. Although he is often characterized as an "architect" exclusively, as James Beck has observed, "to single out one of Leon Battista's 'fields' over others as somehow functionally independent and self-sufficient is of no help at all to any effort to characterize Alberti's extensive explorations in the fine arts." Alberti's life was described in Giorgio Vasari's "Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects.
- In art history, High Renaissance is the period denoting the apogee of the visual arts in the Italian Renaissance. The High Renaissance period is traditionally taken to begin in the 1490s, with Leonardo's fresco of the Last Supper in Milan and the death of Lorenzo de' Medici in Florence, and to have ended in 1527 with the sacking of Rome by the troops of Charles V. This term was first used in German (Hochrenaissance) in the early nineteenth century, and has its origins in the "High Style" of painting and sculpture described by Johann Joachim Winckelmann. Over the last twenty years, use of the term has been frequently criticized by academic art historians for oversimplifying artistic developments, ignoring historical context, and focusing only on a few iconic works.
- Tuscany is a region in central Italy with an area of about and a population of about 3.8 million inhabitants (2013). The regional capital is Florence ("Firenze").
- The Renaissance was a period in European history, from the 14th to the 17th century, regarded as the cultural bridge between the Middle Ages and modern history. It started as a cultural movement in Italy in the Late Medieval period and later spread to the rest of Europe, marking the beginning of the Early Modern Age.
- Europe is a continent that comprises the westernmost part of Eurasia. Europe is bordered by the Arctic Ocean to the north, the Atlantic Ocean to the west, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. To the east and southeast, Europe is generally considered as separated from Asia by the watershed divides of the Ural and Caucasus Mountains, the Ural River, the Caspian and Black Seas, and the waterways of the Turkish Straits. Yet the non-oceanic borders of Europea concept dating back to classical antiquityare arbitrary. The primarily physiographic term "continent" as applied to Europe also incorporates cultural and political elements whose discontinuities are not always reflected by the continent's current overland boundaries.
- In the history of Europe, the Middle Ages or medieval period lasted from the 5th to the 15th century. It began with the fall of the Western Roman Empire and merged into the Renaissance and the Age of Discovery. The Middle Ages is the middle period of the three traditional divisions of Western history: classical antiquity, the medieval period, and the modern period. The medieval period is itself subdivided into the Early, High, and Late Middle Ages.

Wow! An amazing, lost piece of Australiana AND a lost 70s glam-rock film rolled into one. This film warrants viewing simply to see what can be done with next to no budget but a lot of enthusiasm. As a retelling of the Oz story, the film borders on becoming too obvious but it is saved by it's eccentricities. The chance for a glimpse at how glam rock manifested in Australia will delight fans of the genre. This film used to be double featured with the Rocky Horror Picture Show, an indicator of the type of film that Oz is. While not as frivolous or well constructed as RHPS it's hard not to have fun with Oz.<br /><br />Surprisingly, Oz has aged well- perhaps a by-product of how determinedly set in the real Australia of 1976 it is. The passage of history shows that many of the ideas being explored would eventually enter the mainstream. The willingness of the film to give prominence to gay characters is notable, especially as it dates to the 'revolution' period for the Australian gay rights push.<br /><br />The performances range from flinchingly amateur to finely nuanced brilliance. The direction is lacking in subtlety and much of the dialogue may have benefited from an extra draft or two. Somehow, these flaws add to the appeal of the film which is mercifully unpretentious. Much like Australia in the 1970s this film has a certain naive charm.<br /><br />There are several connections to the original Australian stagings of the Rocky Horror Show which will keep obsessives on their toes.<br /><br />Oz is most certainly a minor classic and a potential cult favourite worthy of review. Laugh at the atrocious 70s fashion, swing along with the AusRock soundtrack, leave ANY expectations at the door and Oz is likely to delight.

Product review: I got the one that made Chinese manufacturing famous. It moved the print head on my Panasonic KX printer then died. I subsequently tried it on the dot matrix and a Lexmark laser printer. The device was recognized and drivers installed by Windows XP and Vista, but no data goes to the printer. Return shipping would be half the cost of another adapter so instead of returning it I'll just put Sabrent on my list of manufacturers who rely on Chinese quality control.

Question: What does Jake toss into Helen's grave?
Title: Candyman
Movie plot: Helen Lyle (Virginia Masden) is an affluent young woman who is working with her good friend Bernadette "Bernie" Walsh (Kasi Lemmons), on a master's thesis involving modern folklore. Her husband, Trevor Lyle (Xander Berkeley), is a university professor, of whom she suspects infidelity with one of his younger students, and we suspect her home life isn't quite satisfying, despite the fact that she seems to be very much in love with Trevor. Helen and Bernie have been interviewing numerous people about various 'urban legend' type stories. One young woman tells them a story about "Candyman", a mythical being who has a hook instead of a right hand. The legend goes that Candyman will appear behind you if you say his name five times while looking in a mirror. Clara (Marianna Elliott) dares rebel other-boyfriend Billy (Ted Raimi) to repeat Candyman's name five times in front of the mirror while she's babysitting the Johnson family's baby. Billy only repeats it four times but when she is left alone in the bathroom, getting ready to lose her virginity to Billy and not Michael, her "too good" boyfriend, Clara repeats the name a fifth time. Then, she turns off the light and right behind her, Candyman's appears and kills her with her hooked arm.As Helen reviews the recorded conversation in an empty classroom one night at the university, a cleaning woman overhears the story about Candyman and pays special attention to it. Henrietta Mosely (Barbara Alston) calls in another cleaning woman, Kitty Calver (Sarina C. Grant), who tells Helen about the murders that have taken place in Cabrini-Green, Chicago, the low income housing project where she lives. The people of Cabrini-Green have attributed the deaths to Candyman, as the victims have been butchered with a weapon determined to be a hook. The mention of the murders leads Helen to research it in archived newspapers, and she finds out the names of the victims. Even more intriguing to her is the fact that her own apartment building was designed exactly like Cabrini-Green; she... | a hook | eng | train | xP3 | Multitask |

SGN says it has asked Ofgem if it can build the H100 Fife facility to serve 300 homes at Levenmouth with the option to expand further.
The hydrogen would replace natural gas as a green alternative for heating and cooking.
The company hopes to have it operational within about three years.
Offshore wind would be used to generate the electricity required to create the hydrogen from water through a process called electrolysis.
New pipes will be laid alongside 1,000 properties, meaning home owners would have the choice of receiving their existing gas supply or the hydrogen alternative.
SGN says it does not believe the Covid-19 pandemic will delay work, with construction expected to begin in early 2021.
The first homes could be heated from hydrogen "within two to three years."
Angus McIntosh, director of energy futures at SGN, said: "Hydrogen is an exciting energy vector that at scale could provide similar levels of safe, secure, reliable and affordable energy to what we enjoy now, with minimal disruption for customers.
"The project will provide key national evidence for hydrogen's role in the UK's energy transition and critical insight into the customer value proposition of hydrogen for heat."
Policy makers have been trying to find an alternative way to heat our homes because individual gas boilers are inefficient and emit significant greenhouse gases.
Decarbonising heat is regarded as vital if net-zero targets are to be achieved by 2045 in Scotland and 2050 for the UK.
Work is ongoing to determine the viability of replacing natural gas with hydrogen but using the existing pipes.

Movie plot: Winslow Leach (William Finley) is an up-and-coming singer and composer who is seen by Satanic record producer Swan (Paul Williams) during his performance as a back-up act to the nostalgia band The Juicy Fruits, whom Swan produces. Swan is deeply moved by Winslow's song, and, deeming Winslow's music as the perfect music to open "The Paradise" Swan's highly anticipated new concert hall. Swan sends his loyal right-hand man Arnold Philbin (George Memmoli) to steal Winslow's song and claim it as his own.

In what mic.com described as "one of the most political music videos in recent memory", she is seen lying on top of a New Orleans police car that sinks into water, a clear reference to Hurricane Katrina, which ravaged mainly black communities in 2005.

这是正确的。当那个家伙看见你行动的时候，你必须是独自一个人。一个人的生活是很有趣的：你可以与许多的朋友见面，和你的女性朋友们玩得很开心，还可以在夜晚出去，享受一个未知的晚上。让那个家伙看见你笑，看见你跳舞，看见你深爱着你的单身生活，而不是绝望地环顾四周，或者是因为没有一个特别的人在身边而自怜自艾。 如果一个男人看到你开心地过着单身生活，他就会想成为你生活的一部分。 你应该享受自己单身的时间。因为你不会永远都拥有它。 如果你希望让他想要你，那么你必须至少与他调一下情。如果他认为你是一个冰山美人，一秒都不想和他待在一起，那么他很快就会失去兴趣。所以，当你看见他的时候，和他稍微调一下情，但不要进行太长时间。在你说你要走之前，只需要进行一些眼神的交流、微笑以及简短的交谈就可以了。不要那么粗鲁；也不要太热情了。 在你和他说话的时候拨弄一下你的头发。 微笑并看着地板；让他见到你有一点点的脸红。 如果你们彼此很熟，你可以开玩笑地推或敲一下他的手臂。 如果你想要欲擒故纵的话，那么就得让那个家伙绝对想不到，他其实是唯一一个被你注视着的人。你应该和其他的男人调情，但不要表现得太明显或是在利用他们；让他看见你是值得拥有的，并且其他人也喜欢你。这并不意味着你应该做任何麻烦的事情，或者是任何让你看起来很不检点的事情；只要让他看到你和其他男人聊天的时候也很开心，这就可以了。 与其他男人调情也是一种保护你的选择权的方法。 男人都喜欢有自信并且自信得当的女人。没有男人会想要与一个看起来有自信问题的女人约会，而且这个女人同时想要让男人解决她所有的不安全感。有不安全感其实没事，因为每个人都是没有安全感的。但当你更喜欢你自己、更喜欢你的长相、喜欢你做的事情时，你对于他来说会更加具有吸引力。 你需要要让那家伙知道你已经很棒了，他只是起到锦上添花的作用，而不是你需要他来成为你的世界。 如果你想要自信，那么你必须看起来自信。走路的时候要将你的头抬高，一直向前看，而不是盯着地面看，并且要抓住每一个机会去微笑。 但这并不意味着你必须在桌子上跳舞或是过于大声地笑，以此来获得男性的关注。这意味着无论你走到哪里，你都应该快乐，带有一点疯狂，并且不管你在做什么，尽情享受你的生活就好。男人们总会被那些有趣的女人所吸引，如果你是社交场合的活跃人物，那么他会更想要围绕在你的身边。 如果你心情不好或是没有什么感觉，那你就回家吧。如果你觉得逼自己玩得开心是很让人暴躁的一件事情的话，你最好的选择是离开那里。 如果他问你要电话号码，一开始要装作腼腆的样子。不要言听计从地把你的号码背出来；要让他为拿到你的号码而作出一番努力。不要过于粗暴，但也不要表现出一副已经迫不及待地要和他一起去看落日的样子。 如果他问能不能在周六的时候带你出去玩，你要说你很忙。要再给他一次新的机会邀请你出去玩。

It shares a border with England to the south, and is otherwise surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to the east and the North Channel and Irish Sea to the south-west. In addition to the mainland, the country is made up of more than 790 islands, including the Northern Isles and the Hebrides. - The Scottish National Party (SNP ) is a Scottish nationalist and social-democratic political party in Scotland. The SNP supports and campaigns for Scottish independence. It is the third-largest political party by membership in the United Kingdom, as well as by overall representation in the House of Commons, behind the Labour Party and the Conservative Party, and is the largest party in Scotland, where it dominates both the Scottish Parliament and the country's parliamentary delegation to the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Its leader, Nicola Sturgeon, is the current First Minister of Scotland. - The National Party of Scotland (NPS) was a centre-left political party in Scotland which was one of the forerunners of the current Scottish National Party (SNP). The NPS was the first Scottish nationalist political party, and the first which campaigned for Scottish self-determination. - The Labour Party is a centre-left political party in the United Kingdom. Growing out of the trade union movement and socialist parties of the nineteenth century, the Labour Party has been described as a "broad church", encompassing a diversity of ideological trends from strongly socialist to moderately social democratic. - The First Minister of Scotland is the leader of the Scottish Government. The First Minister chairs the Scottish Cabinet and is primarily responsible for the formulation, development and presentation of Scottish Government policy. Additional functions of the First Minister include promoting and representing Scotland, in an official capacity, at home and abroad and responsibility for constitutional affairs, as they relate to devolution and the Scottish Government. - The Scottish Labour Party ( SLP ) , also known as the Scottish Parliamentary Labour Party , was formed by Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham , the first socialist MP in the parliament of the United Kingdom , who later went on to become the first president of the Scottish National Party , and Keir Hardie , who later became the first leader of the Labour Party ( UK ) . The initial spur for the party 's foundation was Hardie 's unsuccessful independent Labour candidature in the Mid Lanarkshire by - election , 1888 . He had tried and failed to gain Liberal Party support for his candidature , and the experience convinced many of his fellow miners of the need for an independent party representing the interests of labour . The cause also appealed to some radicals , and his movement gained the support of the Dundee Radical Association . Like many of the party 's initial members , Hardie had previously been involved in the Scottish Land Restoration League . A preliminary meeting was held in Glasgow in May , and a foundation conference was held on 25 August . This was chaired by Cunninghame Graham , while other attendees included Irish nationalist politician John Ferguson , crofter John Murdoch , land reformer Shaw Maxwell and miners ' leader Robert Smillie . However , the organised socialist movement was not initially involved ; both the Social Democratic Federation and the Socialist League boycotted the event . The diverse factions had very different perspectives on the party 's future , but were able to agree a programme , largely based on a draft by Hardie . Hardie became the party 's Secretary , while George Mitchell was the first Treasurer and Cunninghame Graham was the President . R B Cunninghame Graham , a strong supporter of Scottish independence , was the party 's main MP , for the North West Lanarkshire constituency , between his defection from the Liberal Party in 1888 and his defeat in the United Kingdom general election 1892 , in the Glasgow Camlachie constituency .

Northern Ireland is the only part of the UK that shares a land border with another sovereign statethe Republic of Ireland. Apart from this land border, the UK is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean, with the North Sea to its east, the English Channel to its south and the Celtic Sea to its south-south-west, giving it the 12th-longest coastline in the world. The Irish Sea lies between Great Britain and Ireland. With an area of , the UK is the 78th-largest sovereign state in the world and the 11th-largest in Europe. It is also the 21st-most populous country, with an estimated 65.1 million inhabitants. Together, this makes it the fourth most densely populated country in the European Union. - The 14 British Overseas Territories (BOT) are territories under the jurisdiction and sovereignty of the United Kingdom. They are those parts of the former British Empire that have not chosen independence or have voted to remain British territories.

Based on the following passage, is 1 pound the same as 1 dollar? Pound sterling -- The result of the 2016 UK referendum on EU membership caused a major decline in the pound against other world currencies as the future of international trade relationships and domestic political leadership became unclear. The referendum result weakened sterling against the euro by 5% overnight. The night before the vote, the pound was trading at €1.30; the next day, this had fallen to €1.23. By October 2016, the exchange rate was €1.12 to the pound, a fall of 14% since the referendum. By the end of August 2017 the pound was even lower, at €1.08.

Write a multi-choice question for the following article, with the given choices and answer:
Article: Jascha Richter once sang "don't need too much talking without saying anything" to reveal his lonely feeling in a crowd.
Dad always told me never to ever reveal my true opinions towards other people if such opinions are negative. He said this is the "Chu Shi Zhe Xue", the philosophy of dealing with social network.
It seems that everybody here just follows this philosophy very, very well.
Friends. I would say that if I were given true friendship I would definitely treasure it with my greatest care. If I really regard someone as my close friend, I would never leave her alone whenever she's in need, either financially or mentally. And I always believe, as long as I treat people with whole-hearted honesty, I would have some rewards--at least, just ONE true friend of the same gender .
Sometimes I just miss my friends in China. Perhaps when we became friends, we were still young, too young to have been polluted by any dirt in the society. But here, it is simply different. It seems that all of us have learnt how to SURVIVE in a foreign land and such an experience actually makes us learn how to extract the most benefits from the surroundings in order to survive.
All are friends around me. I've looked through all the dark sides of their personalities and yet I have to pretend that I know nothing. THEY ARE GOOD. THEY ARE GOOD. AND WE ARE FRIENDS. And then I can make myself comfortable enough to talk to people I hate the most. And of course, they don't say any words truly from their hearts. Neither do I.
But, sometimes I just feel unwilling to talk to these people. Sometimes, I just want to be alone, quietly, without being forced to listen to their gossip or other useless words.
"Standing on a mountain high
Looking at the moon through a clear blue sky
I should go and see some friends
But they don't really comprehend"
Jascha Richter expresses my feelings also.

It dawned hot in Georgia. Don rubbed his head and blinked. He got out of bed and paused before a makeshift easel where a drawing, taped to a board, showed a woman sitting on a park bench. She was large, dressed in layers of multi-colored cotton. She reminded him of the Renoir woman in her plush living room, the dog sprawled at her feet, but she was smarter. The line across her eyebrows and tapering along her jaw was right. He'd left out a lot, but that didn't matter. If what was there was true enough, you knew the rest--like a Michelangelo shoulder emerging from stone.
He went into the bathroom and splashed water on his face.
After coffee and a piece of toast, he rolled the drawing and took it to the park where the woman fed pigeons every day. She wasn't there. She wasn't there the next day, either. The following day Don brought a loaf of bread, sat on her bench, and tossed white pellets into the air. Birds fought for each piece. He prepared the remaining bread and scattered it in one throw. "There you go--something for everybody. She'll be back soon."
A week later, she showed up. Don moved aside and asked, "Where you been?"
"Took sick."
"I've been feeding the pigeons."
"I was worrying. Thank you."
"I did a drawing of you. I wanted to name it, but--I didn't know your name."
"Ruby."
"Ruby, ah. I'm Don. You want to see it? I'll bring it tomorrow."
"Sure."
"O.K. How you feeling?"
"Better, now."
"Good." He walked to his usual bench and sat down. The sun beat on the live oak trees and sage-green strings of Spanish moss while the birds made happy sounds in front of Ruby. She had lost weight, he thought, but it was hard to tell, the way she dressed. She was a beauty once. He remembered his bloodshot eyes in the bathroom mirror. None of us getting any younger. He would give her the drawing in the morning and take off. It was time to leave Savannah, past time. Head for Portland again. Look up Lorna.

In 2006, a court found them to be the leaders of a group of nine Australians arrested in Bali with more than 18lb (8.3kg) of heroin.
Their families say they were rehabilitated while in prison, but Indonesian President Joko Widodo rejected their clemency pleas, saying there can be no compromise on the issue of death sentences for drug traffickers.
He has described the drug trade as a scourge that kills up to 50 Indonesians each day, though correspondents say the statistics he used have been called into question.
Indonesia's National Narcotics Agency puts the figure at 33 a day.
Chan and Sukumaran recruited seven Australians to travel to Bali in 2005 to bring heroin back to Australia. Balinese police swooped on the group after a tip-off from Australian police.
Four of the seven mules were arrested at Denpasar airport with heroin strapped to their bodies, while Sukumaran and three others were detained at a Kuta hotel in possession of heroin. Chan, arrested at the airport, was not carrying drugs.
Convicting them in February 2006, the court said the pair were guilty of "illegally exporting first-class narcotics in an organised way".
It said Chan and Sukumaran had provided money, airline tickets and hotels to the seven mules.
"There are no mitigating factors. His statements throughout the trial were convoluted and he did not own up to his actions," Judge Arief Supratman said of Chan. Another judge, Gusti Lanang Dauh, said Sukumaran "showed no remorse".
Multiple advocates for the pair said they became very different in jail to the young men sentenced to death by the court.
Chan, 31, ran Bible study classes in Bali's Kerobokan jail, while Sukumaran, 33, became a keen artist.
The son of restaurant owners, and a former part-time cook, Chan also ran a cooking school in Kerobokan prison.
And he featured in a documentary seeking to educate secondary school students about the dangers of drug taking.
The film includes a six-page letter written by Chan entitled "Dear Me: The Dangers of Drugs".
In it he writes: "Dear Me, when...

First, please read the article below.
From December to the middle of April, the organisation assesses the risk of snow slides in five areas - Creag Meagaidh, Glencoe, Lochaber, Northern Cairngorms and Southern Cairngorms.
This winter, Torridon was added on a trial basis.
The latest season recorded one of the highest numbers of avalanches in years. Following a record high last winter, there were no deaths caused by avalanches this time around.
A warning to off piste skiers and snowboarders in the Southern Cairngorms.
Initial figures suggest 350 avalanches were recorded by the SAIS. Service co-ordinator Mark Diggins said: "We have had more reported naturally-occurring avalanches this year than last, although this number is a guide only as many more avalanches may have taken place but not been recorded."
The higher rate of avalanches was largely due to continual stormy weather periods with significant snowfall above 600m (1,968ft) interspersed with sharp temperature rises, said Mr Diggins. He added: "Because of the significant amount of snow accumulation a number of these avalanches were very large and travelled long distances."
The stormy weather - particular frequent high winds that can be seen above blowing streams of water uphill in Lochaber - impacted on the numbers of people visiting Scotland's mountains this winter. Mr Diggins said: "It has been a frustrating winter for climbers, walkers, skiers and boarders, but many mountain goers have been aware of the heightened hazards this winter and have been more selective in what they do and where they go."
The latest SAIS season saw no avalanche-related fatalities, whereas avalanches caused the deaths of eight people during the 2012-13 season - the highest figure in years.
One of the greatest avalanche risks this winter was large overhanging edges of snow, called cornices.
A crack in a large cornice documented by the SAIS Lochaber forecasting team. The overhangs are created by heavy snowfalls and persistent winds blowing in generally the same direction. Mr Diggins said: "In the Lochaber area, senior...

The Play Macbeth was written by William Shakespeare between the years of 1604 and 1606. Ever since then, many other versions of the play have been produced, including remakes completed in 1948, 1971, and 2006. Akira Kurosawa even directed a Japanese version of Macbeth in 1957 entitled, "Kumonosu jô." The play starts out with King Duncan hearing about the success of two of his generals, Macbeth and Banquo, in a recent battle with the Irish and the Norwegians. After a quick promotion from Duncan, Macbeth instantly gets an uncanny feeling for lust, greed, and power and does everything in his power to gain access to the crown: even if it includes murder.<br /><br />Geoffrey Wright tried creating his own version of the famous play in 2006 by setting it in the modern Melbourne underworld. Just imagine a lowly Macbeth slaying hundreds of soldiers with an AK-47 and rapping his own rendition of, "Low" at the same time.
