In my humble opinion, customer service does not exist here folks. I had an issue with my bill payment being taken out too early. It took an act of congress to fix the situation and by the time it finally was corrected, I had been through the ringer and spoken down to, by at least 3 different employees. Even as professional as I was on the phone, I had been spoken to like I did not know what I was talking about. Trying to get a supervisor was a hassle. In the end, my issue did get corrected, but the headache it took was unbelieveable. Poor customer service is an understatement.

It is hoped the report will shed more light on the reasons behind the demise of HBOS bank.
Yet, how could HBOS, the result of a merger of a traditional building society and a prudent Scottish banking institution, go so wrong so quickly?
The marriage between the Halifax Building Society and The Bank of Scotland was valued at £30bn, but it collapsed just seven years later - with all of that value completely wiped out.
HBOS became part of the Lloyds Banking Group and needed a £20.5bn injection from UK taxpayers to prevent it from crashing.
The three men at the top of the organisation; chairman, Lord Stevenson and two chief executives, James Crosby and Andy Hornby were blamed for the collapse by a group of MPs.
Senior executives said that the bank's failure was due to the markets reaction following the collapse of Lehman Brothers. However, MPs accused the bank of "reckless" lending policies, and in fact by 2008 the gap between loans and deposits was a staggering £213bn.
This boils down to the simple idea that

Ministers held a series of meetings throughout Monday but were unable to agree what steps to take.
One option being considered would be to allow cafes to open but licensed premises would remain closed.
It is understood hairdressers and beauticians would be allowed to open with certain restrictions in place.
Ten further coronavirus-related deaths were reported by Stormont's Department of Health on Monday, along with 471 more cases.
Of the 10 deaths, nine occurred within the most recent 24-hour reporting period, while one happened prior to it.
In the Republic of Ireland, one further coronavirus-related death was reported on Monday and there have been 270 new confirmed cases.
The Republic's death toll now stands at 1,948 since the pandemic began and a total of 65,659 cases of the disease have been diagnosed.
'Defences come down'
Pubs, restaurants and cafes across Northern Ireland closed their doors to sit-in customers on Friday 16 October under stricter Covid-19 restrictions.
Hair and beauty salons also had to shut for four weeks.
The first minister had said the current coronavirus restrictions would end at midnight on Thursday.
It had been expected that ministers were going to agree a partial reopening of the sector, allowing restaurants to open but unable to serve booze and keeping alcohol-only pubs shut for another fortnight.
On Sunday, Deputy First Minister Michelle O'Neill said the sale of alcohol was a factor in reaching a decision because "defences come down when alcohol is taken".
Ms O'Neill said cafes and coffee shops were a different matter.
In other coronavirus developments on Monday:
Belfast restaurant owner Michael Deane said he was appalled at the idea not to allow premises to serve alcohol,
He appealed to the executive to "stop making us the bogeyman".
He told the BBC's Good Morning Ulster programme that his business had lost close to £2m.
"I think they should just tell us to close until this is all over, fund the hospitality business and leave it at that," he... \n\nGive me a good title for the article above.

Article: A lesbian couple in North Carolina was shocked to learn they had been targeted with homophobic hate speech. Jennifer Mann and Jodi McDaniel have lived together in Canton, North Carolina, for four years with no issues, until Jennifer's 17-year-old son Dakota Bonham came home one day with shocking news. Their home was labeled as 'fagits live here' on Google Maps. Targeted: Jennifer Mann and Jodi McDaniel (above) of Canton, North Carolina, were shocked to learn they had been targeted with hate speech . Unacceptable: The lesbian couple's home was labeled 'fagits live here' on Google Maps . Even worse, Google was no help at all. 'I just thought, "Are you kidding me?"' Jennifer told the Citizen-Times. 'I tried to contact Google, but I was put on hold forever and ever and ever. This day and time, with people and hate, you just can't live your life.' Google did apparently respond on Wednesday however when the Citizen-Times contacted the company, and said they had taken down the slur. It is still uncertain though who put this horrific label on Google Maps, as the county is saying they have nothing at all to do with the hate speech. 'Of course we would never have approved anything like that,' said Kathy Hoglen, addressing coordinator for Haywood County. 'We don't allow crude or offensive names of any kind.' Living their life: The couple has lived in the same home for four years and never had any problems they said . So in love: They are now considering possibly suing . The ladies are now wondering if it may have possibly been a Google worker who put in the slur. Jodi says she has a window sticker of two pink deer that are facing one another, and that the sticker was visibly when the Google street mapping car came by their residence last summer. The couple say they are considering legal action. 'We live ordinary lives, just like everybody else,' said Jennifer. 'Now it looks like I'm being a target.'

It was once considered bulky and too primitive to compete with slim touch screen music players and smartphones that could play videos at the same time. But just three months after Apple discontinued the iPod classic in favour of more advanced models, demand for the music player with the traditional click wheel has risen, causing prices to soar. The latest versions of the classic with the maximum storage of 160GB - more than any other portable music player - are currently selling on eBay for more than £550 as music fans clamour to get hold of the latest models before they are all disappear. Scroll down for video . Prices of the iPod Classic have soared to more than £500 on eBay for some models in recent months as they become the 'must have' present for Christmas, after Apple discontinued them in October this year . Apple discontinued the iPod classic in October following a slow but steady drop in sales as people began to favour the iPod touch and using their phones and cloud devices to store music. But the large capacity of the Classic, which allows people to store thousands of songs without having to sign up to a website and pay a subscription fee, has made it the must-have present this Christmas. Music experts began advising experts to get hold of an iPod Classic as early as last year, before they were discontinued and demand, and prices began to increase. And its value is likely to continue to rise after Tim Cook, chief executive of Apple, said it was unlikely the model would be revisited because they lacked access to the components and a redesign would be too expensive, the Observer reported. Early last year Will Dunn, editor of Stuff magazine, advised people to buy a version of the Classic, predicting prices would double. He said: 'There's still a huge affection for the iPod Classic and it's not hard to see why - Spotify might offer 20 million songs, but 120GB of music is more than most people need, and your iTunes library doesn't carry data charges or a subscription fee.'

Che Inka offers a menu of Argentina and Peruvian foods. Having been born and raised in Argentina, I only order from the Argentina menu. Their selection of Argentine foods is not bad, they have many of the classics such as empanadas, milanesa and choripan. The service is not the best, typically one server who spends most of her time behind the counter, however, it's easy to get past that when you taste the food. Their asado \"bbq\" is very good, they use cuts of meat that truly do taste much like our asados in Argentina. So far, all the menu items I've ordered were very tasty and authentic. I do have one suggestion, if they do not bring you any free bread, ask for bread and chimichurri, it's free and it is amazing.

Know that salamanders are nocturnal. Feed your salamander two to three times a week. Provide your salamander with a well-balanced meal. Monitor the amount your salamander eats. Remove uneaten food from your salamander's home.

À cause de ce fait, il vaut mieux les nourrir la nuit lorsqu'elles sont le plus actives. Réglez une alarme pour vous lorsque vous emmenez votre salamandre à la maison pour la première fois, sinon vous oublierez peut-être de la nourrir la nuit . N'oubliez pas qu'elle ne mangera peut-être pas pendant les premiers jours qu'elle passera dans sa nouvelle maison. Les salamandres deviennent facilement nerveuses et lorsqu'on les introduit dans un nouvel environnement elles ont tendance à prendre quelques jours pour s'habituer à ce qui les entoure. Cependant, certaines salamandres seront immédiatement à l'aise dans leur nouveau foyer et mangeront goulument dès le premier jour. Si vous avez acheté un bébé salamandre, vous devrez le nourrir quotidiennement jusqu'à ce qu'il cesse de grandir et devienne adulte. Les salamandres sont carnivores : elles aiment chasser leur proie. À cause de cette préférence, vous devrez nourrir la vôtre avec des proies vivantes. Si vous devez acheter des proies mortes, les proies congelées sont meilleures que les proies sèches. Les salamandres adorent . Les vers de terre vivants, les vers de sang et les grillons (que vous pouvez acheter dans les animaleries), les teignes vivantes et les limaces vivantes. Elles mangent aussi les vers de sang congelés, même si vous devrez surement agiter le ver de sang pour attirer l'attention de la vôtre. Donnez des crevettes d'eau salée à votre salamandre aquatique. Vous pouvez aussi lui donner des daphnies et des puces d'eau. En général, les salamandres arrêtent simplement de manger lorsqu'elles sont rassasiées. La quantité de nourriture que vous donnez à la vôtre dépend d'elle. Lors des premiers jours, donnez-lui un nombre fixe de proies (vous choisissez le nombre), puis revenez vérifier quelques heures plus tard. S'il reste quelques vers ou grillons, vous saurez qu'elle n'a pas besoin d'autant de nourriture . Notez que les salamandres de feu ou les salamandres tigrées peuvent devenir obèses si on les nourrit trop. Si elle n'a pas mangé toute la...

Summarize this document: In a speech replete with references to empowering the youth of the nation, and the need for change, the emir enacted a transition that will see him leave the stage he has dominated for nearly two decades alongside his Prime Minister Sheikh Hamad bin Jassim al-Thani, who is expected to be stepping down imminently.
In recent weeks, discreet communications were passed to various diplomats and leading businessmen to inform them that change was in the works, and although it was unclear exactly when the process would happen, the widely rumoured "before Ramadan" timeline proved to be true.
Now that the handover is officially complete, and once two days of meeting and greeting Qatar's well-to-do are over, the 33-year-old emir will need to turn his attention to a growing number of challenges.
And though it would not be fair to describe Sheikh Tamim as a novice in world affairs, he has yet to face complex issues without the support of his father, and the efforts of Khalid al-Atiyya, Qatar's energetic minister of state for foreign affairs. And of course the dominating presence of the PM and Foreign Minister Hamad bin Jassim.
It is widely believed that HBJ, as he is known, will step down as part of the cabinet reshuffle in which a number of new appointees are expected.
His departure will leave an unfillable gap. Hamad bin Jassim is one of the very best diplomats the region has to offer, hard-working, shrewd and full of charisma. He possesses all the tools needed to cajole and persuade.
His are big shoes to fill, and the skill of diplomacy is something that is as much innate to a person's character as it is to experience. Sheikh Tamim has certainly learnt the ropes quickly and may well grow to be a great emir, but with Hamad bin Jassim's departure, Qatar's clout on the foreign stage will undoubtedly suffer, and this at a time when the country is facing increasing criticism.
The region, once friendly and open to Qatar's influence, now views the emirate's intentions with suspicion, fear and even hatred. In the Gulf, Bahrain...
Summary:
|
After months of rumours and speculation, the Emir of Qatar, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, has formally handed power to his son, Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, as part of an ordered transition that appears to have been many months in the making.

I wonder Do praying mantises always eat their mates?.
Help me answer this question with "Yes" or "No" or "None" if none of the first two answers apply.
Here's what I found on the internet:
Topic: Mantis
Article:
Mantises are an order (Mantodea) of insects that contains over 2,400 species in about 430 genera in 15 families. The largest family is the Mantidae ("mantids"). Mantises are distributed worldwide in temperate and tropical habitats. They have triangular heads with bulging eyes supported on flexible necks. Their elongated bodies may or may not have wings, but all Mantodea have forelegs that are greatly enlarged and adapted for catching and gripping prey; their upright posture, while remaining stationary with forearms folded, has led to the common name praying mantis.
The closest relatives of mantises are the termites and cockroaches (Blattodea), which are all within the superorder Dictyoptera. Mantises are sometimes confused with stick insects (Phasmatodea), other elongated insects such as grasshoppers (Orthoptera), or other unrelated insects with raptorial forelegs such as mantisflies (Mantispidae). Mantises are mostly ambush predators, but a few ground-dwelling species are found actively pursuing their prey. They normally live for about a year. In cooler climates, the adults lay eggs in autumn, then die. The eggs are protected by their hard capsules and hatch in the spring. Females sometimes practice sexual cannibalism, eating their mates after copulation.
Mantises were considered to have supernatural powers by early civilizations, including Ancient Greece, Ancient Egypt, and Assyria. A cultural trope popular in cartoons imagines the female mantis as a femme fatale. Mantises are among the insects most commonly kept as pets.
Taxonomy and evolution
Over 2,400 species of mantis in about 430 genera are recognized.[1] They are predominantly found in tropical regions, but some live in temperate areas.[2][3] The systematics of mantises have long been disputed. Mantises, along with stick insects (Phasmatodea), were once placed in the order Orthoptera with the cockroaches (now Blattodea) and rock crawlers (now Grylloblattodea). Kristensen (1991) combined the Mantodea with the cockroaches and termites into the order...

Anas al-Basha, 24, was a centre director for the civil society group, Space of Hope.
Government forces have been pounding rebel-held eastern districts of Aleppo as they continue an all-out assault to regain full control the city.
About 250,000 people are living under siege, among them 100,000 children.
There are no functioning hospitals left, and official food stocks are exhausted.
Mr Basha died in an air strike on Tuesday in the Mashhad neighbourhood, the Associated Press news agency reports.
"He lived to make children laugh and happy in the darkest most dangerous place," Mahmoud al-Basha, who identified himself as Anas' brother, wrote on Facebook.
"Anas who refused to leave Aleppo and decided to stay there to continue his work as a volunteer, to help the civilians and give gifts for the children in the streets to bring hope for them."
Mr Basha's parents left the city before the government began its siege of eastern Aleppo in July, according to AP. He married just two months ago, and his wife remains trapped in the rebel enclave.
The government offensive has brought unprecedented shelling and bombardment in recent weeks, reportedly leaving hundreds of civilians dead and prompting more than 25,000 to flee their homes.
On Wednesday, a top UN official warned that the city risked becoming "one giant graveyard".
Mr Basha's supervisor, Samar Hijazi, told AP she would remember him as a friend who loved to work with children.
"He would act out skits for the children to break the walls between them."
"All of us in this field are exhausted, and we have to find strength to provide psychological support and continue with our work," Ms Hijazi added.
How would you rephrase that in a few words?

What is the answer?
Context: A particular criticism of the Buddha was Vedic animal sacrifice.[web 18] He also mocked the Vedic "hymn of the cosmic man". However, the Buddha was not anti-Vedic, and declared that the Veda in its true form was declared by "Kashyapa" to certain rishis, who by severe penances had acquired the power to see by divine eyes. He names the Vedic rishis, and declared that the original Veda of the rishis[note 25] was altered by a few Brahmins who introduced animal sacrifices. The Buddha says that it was on this alteration of the true Veda that he refused to pay respect to the Vedas of his time.

Los insectos beneficiosos (como mariquitas, cochinillas y campamochas) pueden ayudar a eliminar las plagas de insectos y mantener un equilibrio natural en el jardín. Además, no se comerán las hierbas y harán que sea más fácil para ti mantener a raya a los insectos malos. Puedes comprar estos insectos en línea o en el centro de jardinería local. Libera a los insectos por la noche, inmediatamente después de que hayas regado el jardín. Esta medida asegurará que permanezcan en el jardín y que se coman las plagas. Coloca platos con guijarros y agua en el jardín para atraer a las mariquitas y las cochinillas hacia las hierbas. También puedes poner plantas con flores pequeñas alrededor del huerto de hierbas para atraer a estos insectos al néctar y que permanezcan cerca de las hierbas para matar a otras plagas. Usa tijeras de jardinería limpias para recortar las hierbas regularmente de modo que crezcan sanas y no atraigan muchas plagas. También puedes usar el pulgar y el índice para pellizcar los brotes de las hierbas que crezcan demasiado. De esta manera, las hierbas se mantendrán saludables y libres de plagas. Permite que al menos la mitad de las hierbas florezcan para que atraigan a los insectos beneficiosos. Luego puedes pellizcar o recortar la otra mitad para mantener un buen equilibrio en el jardín. Algunos tipos de hierbas mantienen naturalmente a los insectos alejados de un huerto de hierbas. Estas hierbas repelentes incluyen la menta, el limoncillo, el hinojo y la albahaca. Añade una o dos de estas al huerto de hierbas para protegerlo de las plagas.

Movie plot: La Classe de NeigeA grey Renault is being driven along a highway leading into the mountains. Nicolas (Clement van den Bergh), a boy of about twelve, is sitting in the back seat, napping. On the dashboard are photos of Nicolas, his little brother Tom, and his mother. His father (François Roy) is driving.A teacher, Miss Grimm (Emmanuelle Bercot), is orienting parents, telling them what their children will need for a stay at an outdoor education centre in the mountains. Nicolass parents arrive late, and scoff at the idea of not telephoning their son while he is away. The father reminds everyone of a group of schoolchildren who were recently killed in a horrible bus accident, and asks what guarantee they have that their children will be safe. Miss Grimm says matter-of-factly that there is Nothing. The father announces that he will drive Nicolas himself, claiming that his son arriving in his fathers car will not make him an outcast.On the drive to the class trip, the father offers to stop for gas so that Nicolas will at last have enough redemption points to get the gift he has been eager to have: a flap book of human anatomy. The father asks Nicolas if he feels he deserves it.Nicolas is anxious he might wet the bed. His father expects him to put an undersheet on his bed in front of the other boys, and dismisses his apprehension with: You cant be the only one.Nicolas wakes from a nap when backed-up traffic finally gets to move past a bad road accident. Nicolas stares at the mangled cars, while his father concentrates on driving. Nicolas recalls the family watching on television the gruesome news coverage of the recent bus accident.They arrive at the outdoor education centre, where a class is already in progress. They can see Hodkann, the class tearaway (Lokman Nalcakan), acting up.

First, read the Portuguese article below.
Todo tipo de frustração (física ou não) pode ser aliviado com determinadas atividades físicas. Esportes como kickboxing ou artes marciais são ainda mais eficazes, já que ocupam o tempo e a cabeça e aumentam os níveis de adrenalina no corpo. Todo tipo de exercício é válido, até mesmo yoga, musculação e aeróbicos. Eles fazem bem tanto para a mente como para o corpo. Se você não é muito fã de esportes ou outras atividades, busque alternativas mais artísticas. Elas podem ter um efeito catártico e até aliviar a ansiedade. Quanto menos estressada você ficar nos outros aspectos da vida, mais calma conseguirá ficar. Você pode pintar, cozinhar, fazer projetos de artesanato, aprender a fazer cerâmica ou carpintaria, tocar um instrumento ou qualquer coisa do tipo. Busque um talento novo! Os relacionamentos à distância nunca ficaram tão fáceis, principalmente por causa dos recursos à disposição hoje. Se você está sexualmente frustrada porque o seu parceiro está muito longe, use o Skype ou o FaceTime ou envie uma mensagem erótica. Não é a mesma coisa, mas já quebra um galho! Nem todo mundo gosta de falar sacanagem ao telefone ou coisas do tipo. Pode ser que você tenha que se acostumar à ideia com o seu parceiro. Dê um passo de cada vez, dizendo que sente falta dele e que gostaria de tocá-lo em determinados lugares. Depois, é só deixar o papo fluir.

Andy Kaufman's (Jim Carrey) "foreign man" character appears in black and white, declaring that (due to massive editing), this is actually the end of the film, not the beginning. He plays a phonograph record alongside the credits before walking somberly off. Kaufman then comes back, and, in his normal voice, claiming he "had to get rid of the people who don't understand me, and don't want to try," he proceeds to show the story of his life on a film projector, starting with his childhood home in Great Neck, New York, circa 1957.
Kaufman is a struggling performer whose act fails in nightclubs because, while the audience wants comedy, he sings children's songs and refuses to tell conventional jokes. As the audience begins to believe that Kaufman may have no real talent, his peculiar "foreign man" puts on a rhinestone jacket and does a dead-on Elvis impersonation and song. The audience bursts into applause, realizing Kaufman had tricked them.
He catches the eye of talent agent George Shapiro (Danny DeVito), who signs Kaufman as a client and immediately lands him a network TV series, Taxi, much to Kaufman's dismay, since he dislikes sitcoms. Because of the money, visibility, and promise that he can do his own television special, Kaufman accepts the role on Taxi, turning his foreign man into a mechanic named Latka Gravas. He secretly hates doing the show, however, and expresses a desire to quit.
Invited to catch a different act at a nightclub, Shapiro witnesses a performance from a rude, loud-mouthed lounge singer, Tony Clifton, whom Andy wants to guest-star on Taxi. Clifton's bad attitude is matched by his horrible appearance and demeanor. But backstage, when he meets Shapiro in person, Clifton takes off his sunglasses and reveals that he is actually Kaufman. Clifton is a "villain character" created...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on 27 spacefarers found effects similar to those that can occur in intracranial hypertension, which results in a build up of pressure within the skull.
The concern would be that astronauts could suffer eyesight problems.
The study is reported in theJournal of Radiology.
It was led by Larry Kramer, a professor of diagnostic and interventional imaging at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston.
His team examined astronauts who had spent more than 30 days of cumulative time in the weightless environment of space.
The group found evidence for expansion of the cerebral spinal fluid space surrounding the optic nerve of nine of the astronauts, a flattening of the rear of the eyeball in six, a bulging of the optic nerve in four, and changes in the pituitary gland and its connection to the brain in three individuals. The pituitary gland secretes and stores hormones that regulate a variety of important body functions.
The health of astronauts is very carefully monitored. Living in weightless conditions for extended periods can result in a loss of bone density and in muscle wastage. There are also dangers associated with radiation coming from the Sun.
It is partly for these reasons that stays on the International Space Station (ISS) are restricted to six months. If missions to Mars were ever conducted, the period of travel to and from the planet would likely take over a year.
US space agency (Nasa) medical staff said they were looking into the latest concerns, but that the scale of abnormalities observed did not have them unduly worried at this stage.
William Tarver, the chief of flight medicine clinic at Nasa's Johnson Space Center, said the results were suspicious but not conclusive of intracranial hypertension.
"Nasa has placed this problem high on its list of human risks, has initiated a comprehensive programme to study its mechanisms and implications, and will continue to closely monitor the situation," he said.

Extract key points from the article based on which the stock market could react:
(CNN) -- The U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria recently determined that the fighting in Syria is not an "armed conflict" (PDF) -- the legal term for war -- under international law because the opposition forces are not sufficiently organized. Yet surely the protesters, dissident fighters and terrified citizens caught up in the violence in Syria believe they are at war. States and other international legal experts are following the same overly technical approach and, as a result, not applying the law designed for just this situation: the law of war. The international community is left unable to use every available tool in its efforts to halt the violence and protect civilians from extraordinary suffering. Failing to call Syria's upheaval an armed conflict -- the legal term for war -- has real and immediate consequences. Contrary to what events in Syria suggest, war is not waged in a legal vacuum. International law regulates permissible conduct during war, even civil war. The law of war exists specifically to restrain brutality in war, protect innocent civilians from direct attack and minimize suffering. It prohibits deliberate attacks on civilians and using them as human shields, requires humane treatment of the wounded or detained personnel, obligates parties to respect and protect medical aid providers, mandates efforts to facilitate delivery of humanitarian relief, and imposes criminal responsibility on those who disregard these obligations. These basic and essential protections apply during any armed conflict. The only rule that President Bashar al-Assad and his forces follow, however, is the rule of unrestrained brute force. Indiscriminate shelling of towns; civilians forcibly used as human shields; and attacks on the wounded, ambulances and humanitarian workers are a daily staple in the mismatched struggle between al-Assad's heavily armed and morally corrupt forces and the regime's opponents: protesters, dissident army units and other fighters. Massive suffering from heavy-handed government responses to...

On a sunny summer day in Yorkshire Tamsin meets Mona. The former travels on horseback and chances upon Mona, who is resting in the grass. The two girls come from completely opposing background; Tamsin is from an upper-middle-class family and has recently been suspended from boarding school for being a bad influence; drinking alcohol. Mona, on the other hand, comes from a dysfunctional family, and her brother, Phil, who has recently been released from prison, is the only remaining member of her family. Both of the girls seem to regard their lives as mundane. The new acquaintances head home together, one on horseback and the other on an engineless scooter.
When Mona arrives home, she finds her brother in their mother's former pub, pouring all of the alcohol into the sink. He has undergone an extreme religious transformation during his stint in prison and regards his activity as part of his preparation for a rally for born-again Christian converts, much to Mona's annoyance. That night, Mona meets her lover, Ricky. They have sex in his car, after which he breaks up with her. Mona angrily turns down Ricky's offer to drive her home. The next day, Mona arrives at Tamsin's in order to escape from the rally organised by her brother. The girls begin to bond as they spend the day drinking and smoking while talking about the problems they face in their lives. Their sharing brings to light several of Tamsin's family secrets, such as the fact that Tamsin's sister, Sadie, died as a result of anorexia nervosa.
The next day, Tamsin takes Mona to the place where Tamsin claims that her father is cheating on her mother with his secretary. Not only is Tamsin furious because she states that the secretary is blonde with big breasts, but also because the secretary is not very smart. Mona smashes a window of Tamsin's...

Para avaliar se você está sofrendo com calos, é necessário aprender qual é a aparência básica deles. Na maioria dos casos, são encontrados nos pés, devido à fricção causada pelos calçados; no entanto, os calos podem surgir em qualquer parte do corpo exposta à fricção do tecido e outros materiais, como nas mãos, cotovelos e joelhos. A textura da pele dos calos varia, mas ela pode apresentar uma massa seca, cerosa, transparente ou córnea, sendo encontrada em um local do corpo onde a pele está perto do osso. Os calos podem ser duros ou moles, mas geralmente têm um centro duro, cercado por pele macia e levemente descolorida. Apesar de serem semelhantes, aparecendo devido a tipos similares de pressão sobre os pés e mãos, existem algumas diferenças notáveis entre calos e calosidades. É mais comum que os calos sejam esbranquiçados ou de coloração amarela clara, enquanto as calosidades apresentam diversas cores. Podem ser brancos, amarelos acinzentados, marrons e vermelhos. As calosidades não apresentam bordas distintas, enquanto os calos têm bordas visíveis a olho nu. Geralmente, as calosidades são indolores; caso haja desconforto, ela é em forma de queimação ou por uma sensação de que o local está latejando. Na maioria dos casos, os calos são doloridos, em especial ao serem tocados. É mais comum que as calosidades sejam maiores que os calos, possuindo um formato menos uniforme e redondo. A chance deles aparecerem em certas áreas do corpo é maior; ter conhecimento de tais locais poderá ajudá-lo a distinguir calos e outros problemas de pele. Os calos surgem, em muitas oportunidades, na parte inferior, na sola ou no peito do pé. À medida que a parte externa do dedinho do pé se esfrega contra os calçados, a chance do aparecimento de calos aumenta. Também é normal que eles cresçam entre o quarto e o quinto dedo do pé, já que são dedos que ficam juntos e pressionados enquanto você corre ou caminha.

Movie plot title: Nothing Like the Holidays
Movie plot: This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (March 2016) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
At Chicago O'Hare International Airport, a group of Marines have just returned to the US from Iraq. As the Marines leave, one Marine remains and makes his way towards the exit. The Marine's name is Jesse Rodriguez (Freddy Rodriguez). The film cuts to a house where a man, Edy Rodriguez (Alfred Molina) is on a ladder nailing up a welcome home sign for Jesse. The woman, his wife, Anna Rodriguez (Elizabeth Peña) gives him a rather disgruntled look before leaving to prepare for Jesse's return.
Edy then travels to his store, a small neighborhood supermarket, called Bodega. Along the way, and even in the store, Edy appears to be quite popular with the ladies.
Back at the airport, Jesse finally meets up with his friend and cousin Johnny (Luis Guzman) and Ozzy (Jay Hernandez), who have come to pick him up. On the way to his fathers store, Jesse takes off his eye-patch to reveal that he can still see, but the area around his eye is badly injured. After some prompting from Johnny and Ozzy, he reveals that he was the lucky one, as his friend Lenny was not as lucky and Jesse feels some guilt for this. On the way, the three pass a park and Jesse tells them to stop. The park was their childhood playground and the three take a little time off to play a game of baseball and reminisce. While at the park, Ozzy spots Alexis (Manny Pérez), the man who killed his brother, recently been released from prison. Ozzy stares at Alexis, and Alexis stares back, however, before Ozzy is able to make his way to Alexis, both Jesse and Johnny hold him back then they make their way to Edy's store.
Jesse's sister Roxanna (Vanessa Ferlito) arrives by taxi, although everyone assumes she came in a limo because they all assume that she made it big in Hollywood as an actress. Jesse's Brother Mauricio (John Leguizamo) also arrives,...

On returning home they took 144 photographs, mostly from their recent trip, to their local Walmart in Peoria, Arizona to have them developed. Lisa and Anthony Demaree were falsely accused of taking pornographic pictures of their three young daughters

Question: Who arrives in Saigon from Crete to work as a DJ for Armed Forces Radio Service?
If there is no answer, please output "Insufficient information to provide an answer.".
Movie title: Good Morning, Vietnam
Context: This article's plot summary may be too long or excessively detailed. Please help improve it by removing unnecessary details and making it more concise. (August 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
In 1965, Airman Second Class Adrian Cronauer (Robin Williams) arrives in Saigon from Crete to work as a DJ for Armed Forces Radio Service. Cronauer is greeted by Private First Class Edward Montesquieu Garlick (Forest Whitaker). Cronauer's irreverence contrasts sharply with many staff members and soon rouses the ire of two of his superiors, Second Lieutenant Steven Hauk (Bruno Kirby) and Sergeant Major Phillip Dickerson (J.T. Walsh). Hauk adheres to strict Army guidelines in terms of humor and music programming, while Dickerson is generally abusive to all enlisted men. However, Brigadier General Taylor (Noble Willingham) and the other DJs quickly grow to like the new man and his brand of comedy. Cronauer's show consists of unpredictable humor segments mixed with news updates (vetted by the station censors) and rock and roll records that are frowned upon by his superiors.
Cronauer meets Trinh (Chintara Sukapatana), a Vietnamese girl, and follows her to an English class. Bribing the teacher to let him take over the job, Cronauer starts instructing the students in the use of American slang. Once class is dismissed, he tries to talk to Trinh but is stopped by her brother Tuan. Instead, Cronauer befriends Tuan and takes him to Jimmy Wah's, the local GI bar, to have drinks with Garlick and the station staff. Two other soldiers, angered at Tuan's presence, initiate a confrontation that Cronauer escalates into a brawl.
Dickerson reprimands Cronauer for this incident, but his broadcasts continue as before. While relaxing in Jimmy Wah's one afternoon, he is pulled outside by Tuan, who says that Trinh likes him and wants to see him, moments before the building explodes, killing two soldiers and leaving Cronauer badly shaken. The cause of the explosion is determined to be a bomb; the news is censored, but...

Epilogue
On August 2nd 1964, I was a sophomore at Montebello High School, driving over the old wooden bridge on Bluff Road to visit my best friend, Scott. As I reached the center of the bridge, a newsflash came over the car radio that the North Vietnamese had just attacked the USS Maddox in the Gulf of Tonkin. The first thought that entered my mind was: I’m going to war. I forgot about it by the time I pulled into Scott’s driveway.
Five years later I found myself a soldier in the United States Army in the jungles of Vietnam. What came out of that experience defined my existence. I went there a boy and came back a raw man. Aged beyond my 21 years and unprepared for the troubled years to come. I was witness to death, cruelty, and a war so brutal that I was scarred from the time I first searched a dead body to the day I discovered that our military managed to kill 430,000 South Vietnamese civilians.
In 1970, it was no surprise that 65 percent of American servicemen abused drugs. We were sent there alone, and returned home alone, 58,000 of us in body bags. Those of us who survived carried back a collective shame to a nation that hated us. Yes, it is true: I was spat upon and called a baby killer at the San Francisco Airport.
My time in the field left me with deep, chronic back pain and PTSD so severe that I have had episodes where I have actually felt like I was back in the Nam. Like so many combat veterans, I found myself continuing to self-medicate upon my return to civilian life. There was nobody that I felt I could talk to about my experiences. Who could possibly understand? I found my way back into the music business...

What if Hell had a fire exit?
Literati!
We have hinted at this miracle, but were not yet ready to announce it so boldly, until now, while we are applying for permits to film at the Wall in DC. in July. Many of you helped get Raw Man published, and it has proven to be the pebble tossed on a pond. Conventional wisdom rates the success of a book quantitatively–how many copies sold? As well measure love by the number of kisses exchanged with your lover.
We–you who read and write on this site and we who post on your behalf–understand that the ways to measure the value of writing are not so hobbled. By reliving and retelling the brutality of Vietnam, not without pain, Fred put something in motion that he could never have imagined. None of us could. And it is, as Leonard Cohen wrote: “radiant beyond your widest measure.”
“A confounding and sometimes benevolent god has caused me to rewrite the ending to this story, and I have never been so grateful for being so wrong.”
Read on:
My dear friends,
Many of you have either read or are familiar with Raw Man, my published story of Vietnam that was both highly personal, but also a true representation of young men, drafted and snatched out of their lives to fight an unpopular war. Central to that story was the battle in which my best friend, Herman Johnson, died in my arms. A few days later at a hastily arranged memorial service, surviving comrades of that horrid day presented me a bracelet fashioned from the leather laces of Herman’s boots. I have worn it every day since, without fail.
In the forward to Raw Man, I write, “The names have been changed except for a handful of men that I love. For my surviving brothers: I am happy that you may see your name in this book and it is not on a marble slab in Washington D.C.” Well, to my astonishment, this prophetic hope has come true!
I signed my very first copy of Raw Man to John Marek, an active sergeant in the United States Army....
Article: The Purple Heart is a United States military decoration awarded in the name of the president to those wounded or killed while serving, on or after April 5, 1917, with the U.S. military. With its forerunner, the Badge of Military Merit, which took the form of a heart made of purple cloth, the Purple Heart is the oldest military award still given to U.S. military members – the only earlier award being the obsolete Fidelity Medallion. The National Purple Heart Hall of Honor is located in New Windsor, New York.
History [ edit ]
The original Purple Heart, designated as the Badge of Military Merit, was established by George Washington – then the commander-in-chief of the Continental Army – by order from his Newburgh, New York headquarters on August 7, 1782. The Badge of Military Merit was only awarded to three Revolutionary War soldiers by Gen. George Washington himself. General Washington authorized his subordinate officers to issue Badges of Merit as appropriate. From then on, as its legend grew, so did its appearance. Although never abolished, the award of the badge was not proposed again officially until after World War I.[5][6]
On October 10, 1927, Army Chief of Staff General Charles Pelot Summerall directed that a draft bill be sent to Congress "to revive the Badge of Military Merit". The bill was withdrawn and action on the case ceased January 3, 1928, but the office of the Adjutant General was instructed to file all materials collected for possible future use. A number of private interests sought to have the medal re-instituted in the Army; this included the board of directors of the Fort Ticonderoga Museum in Ticonderoga, New York.
On January 7, 1931, Summerall's successor, General Douglas MacArthur, confidentially reopened work on a new design, involving the Washington Commission of Fine Arts. Elizabeth Will, an Army heraldic specialist in the Office of the Quartermaster General, was named to redesign the newly revived medal, which became known as the Purple Heart. Using general...

Good things DO happen in the world…This is one of them
Literati, All you need is love.
Tomorrow I will announce the five finalists for our contest, and provide a prompt, giving them three days to be brilliant.
But I must tell you this story first.
Our contest is all about Lost Love, and I asked each entrant to recreate or invent a story about a recent encounter with someone or something that they loved in the past, that somehow disintegrated over time or due to circumstance, or even our own follies. If you have followed the contest, you must agree that the response ran the full gamut: people recalled lovers, of course, but also their first love of nature, the sea, a tree, a pizza, an extra terrestrial, great literature, etc. All very imaginative.
But a remarkable story of love lost, and recovered unfolded in the real world as this contest was gaining steam. I thought I would tell you about it before you see it on 60 Minutes.
As you know, I am not just another(exceptionally) pretty face, but actually an editor and publisher. One of our triumphs, here at the Towers, was achieved with the help of many of you: we got the funding needed to publish a brilliant lightly novelized Vietnam memoir by Fred Rivera called Raw Man, so well written and poignant that it won, among other things, the Isabelle Allende Miraposa Award for Best New Work last June in San Francisco.
Central to the story is the brotherly bond between our author, Fred Rivera, and his comrade-in-arms, Herman Johnson, who died in Fred’s arms in a vicious battle along the Cambodian border in 1969. If you have never seen it, here is the video A Word with You Press created to launch that successful Kickstarter campaign. We had the good fortune to have the talents of our own Billy Holder and Edward James Olmos produce the video. (https://ksr-video.imgix.net/projects/943033/video-382017-webm.webm)

Article: 47 Years After Firefight, Vietnam Vet Gets His Buddy a Purple Heart
(CN) — War stories seldom have happy endings. But 47 years after Herman Johnson died in the arms of his best friend in a firefight in Vietnam, Fred found out that Herman is alive. And on Sunday, July 10, after a furious battle with the Army, Fred Rivera will see Herman get his long-delayed Purple Heart in a ceremony at The Wall.
"It was 1969, the 20th of August. We got in a firefight early that day, for hours. We were in a hot area. At about 10 minutes to 5 I heard rockets coming in, boom! I got hit. And I died. I believe I did. I really do. I still have the shrapnel in the back of my head," Johnson said in an interview with Courthouse News this week.
"I was 20 years old. I was nothing but a baby."
When Johnson woke up, "I had a tag on me. I didn't get Medevacked or nothing. I guess I was still a breather. When I woke up, I looked up and I thought I was in heaven. And they put me right back on my gun."
Herman's best friend Fred had held Herman in his arms and watched him bleed through the head until the medics took Herman away. Herman and Fred never saw each other again.
"See, he's Mexican and I'm black," Johnson said. "He was my brother over there. Back in those days there was so much prejudice. But we clicked. For 47 years this man been worried about me, and I worried about him, cause I didn't know what happened."
Throughout those 47 years, Rivera said, "He's looked at my picture every day and I've looked at his picture every day."
When the battle ended, the black guys in the platoon braided Herman's leather bootlaces into a bracelet and gave it to Fred. Fred has worn that bracelet for 47 years.
Fred told the story in his book, "Raw Man," a lightly fictionalized novel about his days in Vietnam. "Everything in that book is true, man," Johnson said.
Rivera and Johnson came home from Vietnam separately in 1970, Herman to Detroit and Fred to Los Angeles. Fred overcame his demons — or held them off — by...
Article: For those of you who read Raw Man or are familiar with the story, a central event is the moment when Herman Johnson, Fred's dearest friend and comrade in arms, bleeds to death in Fred's arms.
Herman's body was airlifted to a base, and laid out on a slab in make-shift morgue, with a toe tag where his boot should have been.
But then, a miracle...

Fred Rivera believed his best friend, Herman Johnson, died in his arms after a rocket hit them during a Vietnam War firefight in 1969. "Surviving comrades of that horrid day presented me a bracelet fashioned from the leather laces of Herman’s boots," Rivera writes of what followed. "I have worn it every day since, without fail." But in reality, Johnson was airlifted out in a body bag, woke up in a "make-shift morgue" with a toe tag, recovered, and never saw Rivera again, believing him to also be dead. Nearly five decades later, an Iraq veteran went to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall to take a rubbing of Johnson's name so Rivera could hang it on his wall, next to Johnson's picture—only to discover Johnson's name wasn't there. With the help of other veterans, Johnson was found, alive and living in Michigan, Courthouse News Service reports. But the good news wasn't over yet: Rivera, who wrote about the experience of having his best friend die in his arms in his novel, Raw Man, was dismayed to discover Johnson hadn't gotten a Purple Heart, the award given to those wounded or killed in service. He started a campaign to get him one—and was met with much resistance along the way, per CNS. His request was denied multiple times due to a lack of paperwork, even though Rivera went to much trouble to track down all the evidence he could. Finally, Rivera got a retired three-star general to advocate for Johnson, and the Army approved the Purple Heart request. During a ceremony at the Wall on July 10, Herman and Rivera will see each other for the first time in 47 years. Herman thinks he's just getting a combat pin, but—assuming he avoids the news for the next week—he'll be surprised with the Purple Heart. (This veteran got scammed, then lifted up.)

Mr Johnson is on trial at Bradford Crown Court accused of sexual activity with a teenage Sunderland AFC fan.
The prosecution said there was a "core of deceit and lies" behind the winger's evidence.
The 28-year-old has admitted grooming and kissing the girl but denies more serious sex acts took place.
It is alleged incidents took place in his Range Rover in a car park behind a Chinese takeaway in County Durham.
Kate Blackwell QC, prosecuting, told the court messages exchanged between the pair were "building up to a sexual encounter".
She said: "What's clear through the WhatsApp messages is he guided her in a classic case of grooming. Grooming in its purest form."
In the prosecution's closing speech, Miss Blackwell said Mr Johnson was a man who had "pretty much everything" but cheated on his girlfriend, Stacey Flounders, the mother of his daughter, in a way that "demonstrated his exceptional duplicity".
She said: "He's a self-confessed arrogant man who throws himself at your mercy and asks you to accept that his contrition for what he has done is genuine."
Miss Blackwell told the court that Mr Johnson's claims the sexual activity had not gone further than a kiss were "preposterous".
She added: "He's a man who has lied, and lied, and lied again."
The prosecutor told the jury some of the girl's evidence was inconsistent but added: "She's not a young child, but neither is she a sophisticated adult.
"All the make-up and sparkly dresses in the world cannot mature the soul. While she thinks she knows it all, she has so much to learn."
Miss Blackwell said there was no evidence that the girl made the complaint to get Mr Johnson into trouble and said her parents made the decision to go to the police.
The prosecutor reaffirmed the allegation made earlier in the trial that he did not enter early guilty pleas to the charges involving grooming and kissing the girl so he could continue his football career for as long as possible.
"It was the defendant's choice to avoid a conviction as long as he could to avoid signing the...

Answer the question depending on the context.
Context: Since then, and so far, general relativity has been acknowledged as the theory that best explains gravity. In GR, gravitation is not viewed as a force, but rather, objects moving freely in gravitational fields travel under their own inertia in straight lines through curved space-time – defined as the shortest space-time path between two space-time events. From the perspective of the object, all motion occurs as if there were no gravitation whatsoever. It is only when observing the motion in a global sense that the curvature of space-time can be observed and the force is inferred from the object's curved path. Thus, the straight line path in space-time is seen as a curved line in space, and it is called the ballistic trajectory of the object. For example, a basketball thrown from the ground moves in a parabola, as it is in a uniform gravitational field. Its space-time trajectory (when the extra ct dimension is added) is almost a straight line, slightly curved (with the radius of curvature of the order of few light-years). The time derivative of the changing momentum of the object is what we label as "gravitational force".;

Title: Algeria protests: Police use water cannon to disperse demonstrators\nGiven the above title of an imaginary article, imagine the article.\n
|
Abdelkader Bensalah, the speaker of parliament's upper house, succeeds long-term President Abdelaziz Bouteflika, who resigned last week.
Peaceful demonstrations have been taking place for weeks, but many protesters want more radical change.
Mr Bensalah has pledged to organise free elections within 90 days.
"We - citizens, the political class and state institutions - must work to ensure the conditions, all conditions, are right for a transparent and regular presidential poll," he said during a televised address on Tuesday.
As soon as the appointment of Mr Bensalah was announced, protesters took to the streets of the capital, Algiers, demanding "Bensalah go".
The 77-year-old is seen as being very close to the ailing former president, who had been in power for 20 years.
From the start of the protests in February, the demonstrators have not just been focusing on Mr Bouteflika, Algeria analyst James McDougall told the BBC.
Placards and online posts have been demanding an end to the "system", or "Le Pouvoir", meaning that all those around the former president should also go.
Mr Bouteflika was accused of being used as a front for a group of businessmen, politicians and military officials, who are said to really run the country.
The protests have been peaceful and the security forces have not used heavy-handed tactics to break them up.
One protestor, speaking to the BBC's Orla Guerin at a demonstration, said people believed greater change would come.
"It's going to be complicated, it's going to take some time," one woman said. "It's going to take probably a long time but it's going to happen sooner or later - we believe in this."

Question: How much money does Ben offer Sera to come to his room?
Movie plot title: Leaving Las Vegas
Movie plot: Ben Sanderson (Cage) is a Hollywood agent who has lost everything because of his alcoholism. He loses his job, his family, and decides to commit suicide by alcohol consumption in Las Vegas. After arriving, he meets Sera (Shue), a prostitute, and a deep friendship and understanding develops between them.The movie begins with Ben 'first' shopping for beer, then, in a restaurant. He borrows some money from his colleague Peter (Richard Lewis), and then proceeds directly to a bar and starts drinking. He attempts to pick up a pretty girl (Valeria Golino) and fails. After leaving the bar he visits a prostitute, and succeeds only in getting his wedding ring stolen. He is fired from his job for alcohol related issues and is given a large severance package. When his boss asks him what he is going to do next, Ben responds "I thought I'd move out to Las Vegas". He goes home and starts emptying his house by stuffing bedding in garbage bags, and creating a bonfire in his backyard on which he burns photographs, clothes, passport and other possessions. He then leaves for Las Vegas. As he drives his BMW drunkenly down the Las Vegas Strip, he almost hits a woman in the crosswalk (who turns out to be Sera) who chastises him. Ben checks himself into a sleazy motel called The Whole Year Inn. However, as he looks at this the wording changes to "The Hole You're In".Sera (Elisabeth Shue) is a Las Vegas prostitute who works for a pimp, Yuri Butso (Julian Sands), a Latvian immigrant. Yuri and Sera "share a volatile relationship where Yuri is the dominator and Sera is the masochist."[2] Polish mobsters are after Yuri for an unknown matter; therefore, Yuri breaks his relationship with Sera in fear that the Poles may hurt her. It frees Sera to continue to build her relationship with Ben.On his second day in Las Vegas, Ben finds Sera, on the same street where he met her, introduces himself and offers her $500 to go to his room for an hour. Sera agrees to go to his room, but she gets confused when Ben does not want to have sex with her....

- Stephen David Wyatt Milligan ( 12 May 1948 -- 7 February 1994 ) was a British Conservative politician and journalist . He held a number of senior journalistic posts until his election to serve as Member of Parliament ( MP ) for Eastleigh in 1992 . Milligan was Parliamentary Private Secretary to Jonathan Aitken , Minister of State for Defence , and was regarded as a `` rising star '' of the Conservative Party . Milligan was found dead in his house in Chiswick , London , in February 1994 , apparently self - strangled by the use of an electrical cord during an act of autoerotic asphyxiation .
- A Member of Parliament (MP) is the
representative of the voters to a parliament. In many countries with bicameral parliaments, this category includes specifically members of the lower house, as upper houses often have a different title.
- Head of government is a generic term used for either the highest or second highest official in the executive branch of a sovereign state, a federated state, or a self-governing colony, (commonly referred to as countries, nations or nation-states) who often presides over a cabinet, a group of ministers or secretaries who lead executive departments. The term "head of government" is often differentiated from the term "head of state", (e.g. as in article 7 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties, article 1 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Crimes against Internationally Protected Persons, including Diplomatic Agents and the United Nations protocol list), as they may be separate positions, individuals, and/or roles depending on the country.
- Minister of State is a title borne by politicians or officials in certain countries governed under a parliamentary system. In some countries a "Minister of State" is a junior minister, who is assigned to assist a specific cabinet minister. In other countries a "Minister of State" is a holder of a more senior position, such as a cabinet minister or even a head of government.
- A politician (from "politics" + "-ian", from the Greek title of Aristotle's book "Politika", meaning "Civic Affairs") is a person active in party politics, or a person holding or seeking office in government. In democratic countries, politicians seek elective positions within a government through elections or, at times, temporary appointment to replace politicians who have died, resigned or have been otherwise removed from office. In non-democratic countries, they employ other means of reaching power through appointment, bribery, revolutions and intrigues. Some politicians are experienced in the art or science of government. Politicians propose, support and create laws or policies that govern the land and, by extension, its people. Broadly speaking, a "politician" can be anyone who seeks to achieve political power in any bureaucratic institution.
- Her Majesty's Most Honourable Privy Council, usually known simply as the Privy Council, is a formal body of advisers to the Sovereign of the United Kingdom. Its membership mainly comprises senior politicians, who are present or former members of either the House of Commons or the House of Lords.

Lying off the north-western coast of the European mainland, it includes the island of Great Britain (the name of which is also loosely applied to the whole country), the north-eastern part of the island of Ireland, and many smaller islands. 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.

- A parliamentary system is a system of democratic governance of a state where the executive branch derives its democratic legitimacy from the legislature (parliament) and is also held accountable to that legislature. In a parliamentary system, the head of state is normally a different person from the head of government. This is in contrast to a presidential system in a democracy, where the head of state often is also the head of government, and most importantly, the executive branch does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.
- A Parliamentary Private Secretary (PPS) is a United Kingdom or New Zealand Member of Parliament (MP) designated by a senior minister in government or shadow minister to act as the minister's contact with MPs. This role is junior to that of Parliamentary Under-Secretary, which is a ministerial post, salaried by one or more departments.

What is the answer?
Context: As it was founded by the unions to represent the interests of working-class people, Labour's link with the unions has always been a defining characteristic of the party. In recent years this link has come under increasing strain, with the RMT being expelled from the party in 2004 for allowing its branches in Scotland to affiliate to the left-wing Scottish Socialist Party. Other unions have also faced calls from members to reduce financial support for the Party and seek more effective political representation for their views on privatisation, public spending cuts and the anti-trade union laws. Unison and GMB have both threatened to withdraw funding from constituency MPs and Dave Prentis of UNISON has warned that the union will write "no more blank cheques" and is dissatisfied with "feeding the hand that bites us". Union funding was redesigned in 2013 after the Falkirk candidate-selection controversy.;

(CNN) -- The governor of Oklahoma, Mary Fallin, says it is "hard to believe" another monster tornado could devastate the Oklahoma City suburb of Moore. The odds of one striking the same place twice are extremely rare -- rarer still if it's near a populated area. But if that place is Moore, science may offer an explanation. "Oklahoma has one of the highest climatological likelihoods for tornadoes of any place in the nation," according to Bob Henson of the National Center for Atmospheric Research. "So if two EF4/EF5 tornadoes are going to strike the same city within 15 years, Moore is as likely as any other place. Even so, this is an extremely rare occurrence," Henson said.

Summarise the article:
Abu Dhabi (CNN) -- China's Xi Jinping, who is expected to be named president in March and likely next premier Li Keqiang will inherit a foreign policy that puts a premium on partnerships that can help China fuel its resource-hungry economy. In the world of geo-politics, symbolism goes a long way in forging lasting, strategic relations. This is certainly the case when it comes to China's role within the Middle East, specifically with Saudi Arabia, the country with the world's largest proven oil reserves. When King Abdullah took over the throne in Saudi Arabia, his first foreign visit in January 2006 was to Beijing after an invitation of President Hu Jintao. Six years later, the countries' two state-run energy giants, China's Sinopec and Saudi Aramco, inked a huge oil agreement guaranteeing the Asian nation an additional 400,000 barrels a day from a Red Sea refinery in the Saudi city of Yanbu. This is on top of the estimated one million barrels of oil a day it now orders from the Kingdom. "We need China as much as China needs us," said Khalid Al-Falih in a CNN interview right after he signed the agreement, "But the energy corridor is only part of it. We envisage an exchange of goods and services and trade in other areas that add value to the Chinese economy and to the Saudi economy as well." That deal follows a major equity investment in the Fujian province where Saudi Aramco invested in petrochemical manufacturing facilities along with U.S. energy giant ExxonMobil. In the 19th century the battle over influence of Central Asia was described as the "Great Game" as the British and Russian empires vied for control and influence in the region. In the 21st century, one may view China's influence in the Middle East in a similar vein. "Clearly there are mutual interests in terms of large energy suppliers and consumers, but there will be stress points, of course," said Ben Simpfendorfer, co-founder of Silk Road Associates, an investment advisory firm specializing on trade between the Middle East and Far East Asia....

Summarize: Kent paceman Matt Coles ripped through the hosts' batting line-up at the Ageas Bowl with 6-56 as Hampshire were bowled out for 229 - Adam Wheater hitting 63.
Bell-Drummond shared an opening stand of 203 with Denly before he was caught by Tom Alsop off Brad Wheal (4-38).
Denly (105) went four balls later as Kent reached 231-5 in 43.3 overs.
Kent looked all but home with 27 needed and 10 wickets standing, but Wheal sparked a dramatic collapse in which the visitors lost five quick wickets - the teenage fast bowler taking four of them.
However, there was to be no remarkable turnaround as Alex Blake and Will Gidman knocked off the remaining 14 runs required.
Before the chaotic ending, England Lions batsman Bell-Drummond had once again looked at ease at the crease, a day after scoring an unbeaten 171 for his country against Sri Lanka A.
The 22-year-old continued his prolific summer, hitting 10 boundaries as he brought up his third half-century of the competition.
Denly was equally impressive in making his second hundred in this season's One-Day Cup off 120 balls, before he was caught by Sean Ervine off Wheal.
Kent move up to fourth in the South Group, while Hampshire are two points behind in eighth.

Curators say the movement of people around the show will create the airflows necessary to make Calder's "kinetic sculptures" rotate.
The exhibition, Alexander Calder: Performing Sculpture, opens at London's Tate Modern on 11 November.
It is billed as "the most comprehensive exhibition" of the American artist's work ever to be held in the UK.
Tate's director of exhibitions, Achim Borchardt-Hume, said: "We thought it time to look at Calder as a serious artist again."
The show will bring together approximately 100 works to reveal how Calder (1898-1976) changed the idea that sculpture was a static object into something that could be continually changing.
"Historically, sculpture was a solid object that you had to walk around to experience in three dimensions," said Borchardt-Hume at Monday's launch event.
"Calder turned this upside down. He makes sculpture move. We no longer move around it - it moves for us."
Calder initially trained as an engineer before studying painting in New York. He travelled to Paris in the 1920s where he developed his wire sculptures and, by 1931, had invented the mobile - a term first coined by Marcel Duchamp to describe Calder's motorised works.
After 1932, Calder worked mainly on suspended sculptures that moved without motors, animated by air currents.
Asked about air currents within Tate Modern, Borchardt-Hume told the BBC: "There should be enough visitor flow to keep them moving gently."
The gallery's air conditioning may also help, but visitors won't be able to touch the mobiles to set them in motion.
"It'll be a bit like watching the clouds drifting across the sky," added curator Ann Coxon. "These sculptures really invite you to slow down. The movement is going to be subtle and drifting."
The largest work on display will be Calder's Black Widow (1948), which is being shown for the first time outside Brazil.
The monumental piece, measuring 3.5 metres by 2 metres, features 19 black metal shapes delicately suspended from one another.
It was gifted by Calder to the Instituto dos...
TL;DR:
|
Visitors to an exhibition of mobiles by artist Alexander Calder will have a crucial role in bringing them to life.

Please answer the following question about this movie plot. If it's un-answerable, please output "No answer".
Question: Who is the father of Phaedra's son?
Movie plot title: Immortals
Movie plot: Before the dawn of man and beast, Immortals waged war against each other in Heaven. The victors declared themselves gods while the vanquished were renamed the Titans and imprisoned beneath Mount Tartarus. The Epirus Bow, a weapon of immense power, was lost on Earth during the war. In 1228 B.C., the mortal king Hyperion[4] (Mickey Rourke) of Heraklion searches for the bow, intending to use it to release the Titans to get revenge on the gods for failing to save his family from disease. Hyperion captures the virgin oracle Phaedra (Freida Pinto), believing that she can use her visions to find the Epirus Bow's resting place.
In a small village nearby, the inhabitants prepare to flee to Mount Tartarus to avoid Hyperion's army. One inhabitant named Theseus (Henry Cavill) is a skilled warrior trained by his mentor, a mysterious old man (John Hurt). Theseus and his mother Aethra (Anne Day-Jones), are considered undesirables because Theseus was born from Aethra being raped and are forced to stay behind by Athenian soldiers including Lysander (Joseph Morgan). Theseus is able to beat multiple opponents until the Athenian officer Helios (Peter Stebbings) intervenes and discharges Lysander from the army for his actions. Lysander travels to Hyperion, offering his service and the village's location. Hyperion accepts, but hammers Lysander's testicles for being a traitor so he can never father children. Hyperion's forces attack Theseus's village, murdering the villagers and Aethra, and taking Theseus captive.
The old man is revealed to be Zeus (Luke Evans) where he meets with his fellow gods Athena (Isabel Lucas), Poseidon (Kellan Lutz), Ares (Daniel Sharman), Apollo (Corey Sevier), and Heracles (Steve Byers). Zeus warns them not to interfere in mortal affairs as gods unless the Titans are released and must have faith in mankind to defeat Hyperion. Theseus is enslaved alongside the thief Stavros (Stephen Dorff). Phaedra, who is held captive nearby, sees a vision of Theseus. Phaedra organizes a riot, using the chaos to escape...

Plot title: Monster
Movie plot: After moving from Michigan to Florida, Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute, meets Selby Wall in a gay bar. After initial hostility and declaring that she is not gay, Aileen talks to Selby over beers. Selby takes to Aileen almost immediately, as she likes that she is very protective of her. Selby invites her to spend the night with her. They return to the house where Selby is staying (temporarily exiled by her parents following the accusation from another girl that Selby tried to kiss her). They later agree to meet at a roller skating rink, and they kiss for the first time. Aileen and Selby fall in love, but they have nowhere to go, so Selby goes back to her aunt's home.
After being raped and brutalized by a client, Vincent Corey, Aileen kills him in self-defense and decides to quit prostitution. She confesses her action to Selby, while Selby has been angry with her for not supporting the two of them. Aileen tries to find legitimate work; but because of her lack of qualifications and criminal history, prospective employers reject her and are occasionally openly hostile. Desperate for money, she returns to prostitution. She robs and kills her johns, each killed in a more brutal way than the last, as she is convinced that they are all trying to rape her. She spares one man out of pity when he admits he has never had sex with a prostitute but eventually kills another man who, instead of exploiting her, offers help. Aileen uses the money she steals from her victims to indulge herself and Selby.
However, as Selby reads in the papers about the string of murders, she begins to suspect that Aileen may have committed them. She confronts Aileen, who justifies her actions by claiming she was only protecting herself. Horrified, Selby returns to Ohio on a charter bus. Aileen is eventually arrested at a biker bar and speaks to Selby one last time while in jail. Selby reveals some incriminating information over the telephone and Aileen realizes that the police are listening in. To protect her lover, Aileen admits she committed the...

Title: Dalian Atkinson: Funeral for ex footballer is held in Telford\nGiven the above title of an imaginary article, imagine the article.\n

Paramedics battled for about 30 minutes to try to save the 48-year-old after he became unresponsive following the incident in Telford in Shropshire.
His family said on Friday that they do not know "why such force was used" by police in the early hours of 15 August.
Two officers are under investigation. The service was at Telford Crematorium.
Former Villa players Ian Taylor and Tommy Johnson were among the guests at the humanist service.
Celebrant Peter Mansell, said: "There was no-one quite like Dalian, there never was before and there never will be again."
The Taser was used on Mr Atkinson outside his father's house in the Trench area of Telford.
The former Sheffield Wednesday, Aston Villa and Ipswich Town footballer went into cardiac arrest on his way to hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
Mourners were told how he played football as boy with his brothers and friends in Meadow Street, the same road where he was shot with the Taser.
Mr Atkinson was an "energetic and funny" man who "loved the playboy lifestyle", but was also "generous, caring and protective," Mr Mansell said.
Mr Atkinson's siblings had said they wanted the funeral to be a celebration of his life but admitted the way he died "casts such a dark shadow over everything".
In a statement on Friday, the family said he had struggled to come to terms with a serious illness affecting his kidneys during the last six months of his life.
Mr Atkinson's niece Josie told the congregation: "Inspiration is the word most appropriate to you, a figure I looked up to and still do."
Another niece, Cleo, said: "You had such a charismatic soul and enriched everyone's lives with your intellect, insight and warmth, never failing to make people around you laugh."
Mr Atkinson was later interred at nearby Hadley Cemetery next to his mother.
The Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) is investigating and the two West Mercia officers are under criminal investigation.
Speaking after the service, former Aston Villa teammate Ugo Ehiogu said he...

What is the name of the sculpture that celebrates the willow industry?
Answer the above question based on the context below:
Willow has been cut and used on the Levels since mankind moved into the area. Fragments of willow basket were found near the Glastonbury Lake Village, and it was used in the construction of several Iron Age causeways. The willow was harvested using traditional methods of pollarding, where a tree would be cut back to the main stem. New shoots of willow, called "withies", would grow out of the trunk and these would be cut periodically for use.During the 1930s, over 9,000 acres (36 km2) of willow were being grown commercially on the Levels. Largely because of the replacement of baskets by plastic bags and cardboard boxes, the industry has severely declined since the 1950s. By the end of the 20th century only about 350 acres (1.4 km2) were grown commercially, near the villages of Burrowbridge, Westonzoyland, and North Curry. The Somerset Levels is now the only area in the UK where basket willow is grown commercially. For weaving, the species Salix triandra (almond willow, black maul) is grown, while Salix viminalis (common osier) is ideal for handles, bases, and the structural members in furniture and hurdles. Historically willow was used to make salmon traps or "putchers". Products including baskets, eel traps (kypes), lobster pots, and furniture were widely made from willow throughout the area in the recent past. Among the more unusual products still made are passenger baskets for hot air balloons, the frames inside the Bearskins worn by the regiments of the Grenadier Guards, and an increasing number of willow coffins.Another use of willow has been found by the Coate family, who make artists' charcoals in Stoke St Gregory. It has become in 30 years the leading artists' charcoal manufacturer in Europe, producing most of the natural charcoals sold under different art-material brands.The industry is celebrated in the form of the Willow Man (sometimes known as the Angel of the South), a willow sculpture, 40 feet (12.2 m) tall, produced by artist Serena de la Hey in September 2000 that can be seen from the railway...
