My college roommate asked me what this article means:
Its shares dived more than 14% after it said sales fell 0.4% in the run-up to Christmas and added full-year profits would be at the low end of forecasts.
Next also warned that 2017 would be "another challenging year", and predicted a fall in profits.
The news hit shares in other retailers, with M&S down 6.1% and Primark owner Associated British Foods dropping 3.7%.
The falls weighed on the FTSE 100. The UK's benchmark index had closed at a record high on Tuesday, but spent most of the day in negative territory. However, at the close it was up 11.85 points to another record high at 7,189.74.
Shares in housebuilders helped to bolster the index after upbeat comments from Deutsche Bank. Barratt Developments rose 4%, while Persimmon and Taylor Wimpey were 2.8% and 3.8% higher respectively.
In the FTSE 250, B&M shares rose nearly 9.5% after the discount retailer reported a 7.2% increase in UK like-for-like sales in the three months to 24 December.
On the currency markets, the pound rose 0.45% against the dollar to $1.2293 and slipped 0.29% against the euro to €1.1727.
So I recapped it in layman's terms:
|
(Close): Shares in Next slumped after the retailer reported falling sales and issued a gloomy outlook for next year.

It can be really easy to skip a class or two, but attending every class can help ensure two things: you get participation marks (if the instructor is giving them); and you're more likely to remember something taught in class. Sitting at the front of the class isn't so you can suck up to the instructor, it's to increase your chances of paying attention and remembering what is being taught. You're less likely to be distracted by other students if you sit at the front of the class. If your class is being held in a computer lab, or if you bring your own laptop (or tablet) to class, resist the temptation to use it for non-class related stuff. Close all your email and social media programs while in class. If you're only using your computer to take notes or view presentation slides, disconnect from the internet. By disconnecting yourself from the internet (and email and social media) you are giving yourself a chance to resist the temptation to pay more attention to your computer than your teacher. Any activity that is not class-related should be avoided while in class. Use your in class time to pay attention. If you have a question in class, ask it. If you think you know the answer to a question the instructor asks, answer it. If class participation is part of your class grade, asking and answering questions in class will help you get those points. Being verbal in class will also draw the attention of your instructor, who may then get to know you and consider you a student who is interested in learning. The best person to help you get better grades is the person who gives out those grades. Make an appointment to speak with your instructor about your performance. Let your instructor know that you aren't satisfied with your grades and you want to improve. Ask your instructor where you might be going wrong. Ask if there are any specific areas where you should focus. Many instructors will allow assignments to be handed in late, but they'll deduct points automatically for late assignments. Therefore, work it...

"Radio is 'now,'" says 22-year-old Brazilian André Avorio, who implemented the Web site. "[Radio] is generally quick and live. This adds a special dynamic to the medium. Moreover, it is still one of the most popular means of mass communication in Brazil. Combining it with the power of the Internet can result in many new possibilities."

The answer to the question: What is the name of the place that moved in 1931 to Old Hall Lane in Fallowfield, south Manchester, to accommodate the growing student body? is inside the article: There are three universities in the City of Manchester. The University of Manchester, Manchester Metropolitan University and Royal Northern College of Music.
The University of Manchester is the largest full-time non-collegiate university in the United Kingdom and was created in 2004 by the merger of Victoria University of Manchester founded in 1904 and UMIST, founded in 1956, though the university's logo appears to claim it was established in 1824. It includes the Manchester Business School, which offered the first MBA course in the UK in 1965. Manchester Metropolitan University was formed as Manchester Polytechnic on the merger of three colleges in 1970. It gained university status in 1992, and in the same year absorbed Crewe and Alsager College of Higher Education in South Cheshire. The University of Law, the largest provider of vocation legal training in Europe, has a campus in the city.The three Universities are grouped around Oxford Road on the southern side of the city centre, which forms Europe's largest urban higher education precinct. Together they have a combined population of 76,025 students in higher education as of 2015, although almost 6,000 of them were based at Manchester Metropolitan University's campuses at Crewe and Alsager in Cheshire.One of Manchester's most notable secondary schools is the Manchester Grammar School. Established in 1515, as a free grammar school next to what is now the Cathedral, it moved in 1931 to Old Hall Lane in Fallowfield, south Manchester, to accommodate the growing student body. In the post-war period, it was a direct grant grammar school (i.e. partially state funded), but it reverted to independent status in 1976 after abolition of the direct-grant system. Its previous premises are now used by Chetham's School of Music. There are three schools nearby: William Hulme's Grammar School, Withington Girls' School and Manchester High School for Girls.
In 2010, the Manchester Local Education Authority was ranked last out of Greater Manchester's ten LEAs – and 147th out..., can you guess it ?

I want to test the ability of students to read a passage and answer questions about it. Could you please come up with a good question for the passage "Luther had published his German translation of the New Testament in 1522, and he and his collaborators completed the translation of the Old Testament in 1534, when the whole Bible was published. He continued to work on refining the translation until the end of his life. Others had translated the Bible into German, but Luther tailored his translation to his own doctrine. When he was criticised for inserting the word "alone" after "faith" in Romans 3:28, he replied in part: "[T]he text itself and the meaning of St. Paul urgently require and demand it. For in that very passage he is dealing with the main point of Christian doctrine, namely, that we are justified by faith in Christ without any works of the Law. ... But when works are so completely cut away – and that must mean that faith alone justifies – whoever would speak plainly and clearly about this cutting away of works will have to say, 'Faith alone justifies us, and not works'.""?

Cars equipped with cameras could constantly scan roads during journeys, with resulting data on potholes displayed on other drivers' dashboards.
The idea is being tested at the firm's research centre in Aachen, Germany.
One expert said altering routes to avoid potholes might not always be possible.
"A virtual pothole map could highlight a new pothole the minute it appears and almost immediately warn other drivers that there is a hazard ahead," said Uwe Hoffmann, a research engineer at Ford.
"Our cars already feature sensors that detect potholes and now we are looking at taking this to the next level."
Pothole-sensing technology has been in development for some years now, says Toby Breckon, a computer vision expert at Durham University.
"I'm pretty convinced that the pothole sensing is good - though I would imagine with any pothole detection there may be issues with snow and ice," he told the BBC.
The real question is what is done with the data, he says. "At the moment, your sat-nav picks up traffic and road hazards like blockages - that's very common - could this be an extra layer to that?"
In 2015, Jaguar Land Rover said it was working on a system to automatically gather information about potholes from cars fitted with sensors.
Nottingham Trent University has also been developing a smart system to do this.
Plus, earlier this year, City of York Council announced it would fit pothole detecting cameras to refuse vehicles in order to gather road surface data and better target repairs.
Some Ford models already use sensors to detect potholes and adjust the car's suspension in an effort to reduce vehicle damage.
Dr Breckon pointed out that encouraging drivers to avoid all routes with potholes might cause congestion in other areas - and there could be cheaper ways of solving the problem, such as improving road surfaces.
This point was also raised by Howard Robinson, chief executive of the Road Surface Treatments Association (RSTA).
"Anything that helps to avoid pothole damage, great, let's support that - but let's...

Carmaker Ford has said it is experimenting with technology to detect potholes and warn drivers of their locations.

Review: Do not mistake this book for a romance novel. It isn't.I agree with the other bad reviews. This book reads like a study of stockholm syndrome. The main problem is that the lead male character is such a jerk!!! If you like your men overbearing to the point of slavery, then you might enjoy this. Seriously, he would make a good villian in another book. Also, if you are thinking about getting into BSDM reads, this might actually be a good transition read.However, if you like the cliche romance novel hero who is overpowering, yet redeemingly charming in some way, you will HATE this book. Warrick has no redeeming qualities. He is so bent on revenge that he become single minded with it. It was an unpleasant reading experience for me. I like romance novels, but I don't like rape and I don't like slavery. I also don't like when sex somehow wipes the slate clean, making horrible behavior forgiveable. Give me a break.

We take a look at some of the winners and losers on the UK high street this Christmas.
UK's largest supermarket, Tesco, reported a rise in sales over Christmas. UK like-for-like sales were up 1.3% from a year earlier in the six weeks to 9 January. The upbeat results were welcomed in the City and are being seen as part of the turnaround promised by chief executive Dave Lewis, who took over in September 2014. However, the grocer still faces tough competition from discount chains, and it reported a 1.5% fall in sales for the 13 weeks ending 28 November.
Britain's biggest department store chain posted an impressive 5.1% rise in like-for-like sales in the six weeks to 2 January, with products in its technology category leading the field with a rise of 9.6%. Online sales were up more than a fifth and accounted for 40% of total sales. (Like-for-like sales, which measures performance at stores open for more than 12 months, is the measure preferred by analysts as it is the most accurate picture of a retailer's performance.)
Waitrose, its food retailing business, falls into the other category, however - see the Losers below.
Newsagents and stationary retailer, WH Smith, reported a 2% increase in like-for-like for the 20 weeks to 16 January. Sales at its travel arm, which has shops at airports, railways stations, motorway services, and hospitals jumped by 12%..
High Street stores reported a 2% rise in like-for-like sales during the five weeks to 2 January.
The business, which has been going for 224 years, said profits were boosted by the recent trend in colouring books for adults.
The department store had a reasonably good Christmas, with a 3.7% rise in like-for-like sales for the nine weeks to 9 January.
The retailer said it made fewer discounts and kept tight control of clothing stock, such as winter coats, to reflect the unseasonably warm winter.
Like-for-like sales at the department store rose by 5.3% in the six weeks to 2 January, which chief executive Nigel Oddy said underlined its strategy of improving both...

London, England (CNN) -- The pressure of playing for Real Madrid is greater than playing for Manchester United but Cristiano Ronaldo says he has settled into life at his new club. The Portuguese forward's first season in Spain since his world record $130-million move from England has been disrupted by injury. But Ronaldo has thrived on the pitch, scoring 20 goals in 19 appearances. "It's always complicated when you come from a different league, different football, but I feel very comfortable. The team play nice and they help me a lot," Ronaldo told CNN. But the 25-year-old, a former world and European footballer of the year, admitted that the pressure of being a Real Madrid player was more intense than anything he had experienced at Old Trafford.

I am a movie director and I just received the following movie plot. Could you help me answer this question? If not, let me know by writing "Not answerable".
Plot title: Wild Things
Movie plot: A popular Miami area high school guidance counselor, Sam Lombardo, is accused of rape by two female students, the wealthy and popular Kelly Van Ryan and poor outcast Suzie Toller, and hires lawyer Kenneth Bowden to defend him. At trial, Suzie admits that she and Kelly had made everything up to get revenge on Lombardo: Suzie for him failing to bail her out of jail on a minor drug charge and Kelly for him having an affair with her mother, Sandra. Kelly's mother is humiliated by the scandal, and Lombardo and Bowden negotiate an $8.5 million settlement for defamation. In reality, Lombardo and the two girls were accomplices who used the trial as a way to get money from Kelly's wealthy family. To celebrate their success, the three accomplices have sex.
Police detective Ray Duquette, against the wishes of the district attorney's office, continues to investigate Lombardo. He suspects the trio are working a scam, telling both Kelly and Suzie that Lombardo has already transferred the money to an off-shore account. Suzie panics and goes to Kelly for help. Kelly assures Suzie that they can trust each other, but separately tells Lombardo over the phone that they may have to get rid of Suzie. Suzie overhears and attacks Kelly in the pool. Both girls fight, but eventually end up having sex in the pool, all witnessed by Duquette, still investigating the trio. A few nights later, Lombardo and Kelly take Suzie to the beach and he kills her while Kelly waits nearby. After wrapping the body in plastic, they throw it in the trunk of the car and drive out to the swamp, where Lombardo disposes of it.
Duquette and his partner, Gloria, are called in to investigate Suzie's disappearance. Her blood and teeth are found at the beach while her car is found at a bus terminal. The D.A.'s office again insists that he drop the case, but Duquette asks his partner to watch Lombardo. Lombardo confronts Gloria and invites her in to read his school files on Kelly. She discovers that Kelly is a deeply troubled and violent girl made worse by the...

Could you please generate a TLDR (Too Long Didn't Read) summary of the following news article?
Article: (CNN) -- The daughter of Peter Kalikow, the former owner of the New York Post, has been arrested after allegedly trying to sell 30 bags of heroin, court documents show. Kathryn Kalikow, 27, and Brian Whelan, 28, were charged Monday with possession of drugs with intent to sell after allegedly advertising the drugs on Craigslist as "high quality diesel pain relief." On Sunday, undercover police detectives in the Bronx, New York, responded to the Craigslist post, which referred to the heroin as "stamps, diesel, H train, dope, bundles, tickets, dog food." They set up a meeting through text messages, one of which said, "It'll be $400 and an extra $40 to deliver it." Kalikow and Whelan agreed on an address, arrived in a blue Volkswagen and texted an undercover detective, who went to the vehicle and questioned the couple, the documents say. Kalikow said, "Yes I have drugs. He's my boyfriend, I was holding on to it for him," the records show, and she gave the detective three plastic bags, each containing 10 small bags of a tan, powdery substance. The court documents say Whelan told officers that it was his idea to post the ad on Craigslist because he needs treatment. "I am a heroin addict," he said, "and to afford the drug, I agreed to sell some of the drug on consignment for the person I buy from." Whelan and Kalikow pleaded not guilty at their arraignments Monday and were released on their own recognizance. They are expected to return to court on May 14, said Melvin Hernandez, a spokesman for the Bronx district attorney. On Monday evening, just after the arraignment, Whelan's family admitted him voluntarily to a drug rehabilitation facility, Whelan's attorney, Marvin Ray Raskin, said Tuesday. Kalikow's attorney did not immediately return calls to CNN. Her father purchased the New York Post in 1988 and sold it in 1993, and was the chairman of New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority from 2001 to 2007. He now operates a real estate business based in his 49-floor skyscraper, 101 Park Avenue. He said in a...

In simple terms, the Cold War could be viewed as an expression of the ideological struggle between communism and capitalism. The United States faced a new uncertainty beginning in September 1949, when it lost its monopoly on the atomic bomb. American intelligence agencies discovered that the Soviet Union had exploded its first atomic bomb, with the consequence that the United States potentially could face a future nuclear war that, for the first time, might devastate its cities. Given this new danger, the United States participated in an arms race with the Soviet Union that included development of the hydrogen bomb, as well as intercontinental strategic bombers and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) capable of delivering nuclear weapons. A new fear of communism and its sympathizers swept the United States during the 1950s, which devolved into paranoid McCarthyism. With communism spreading in China, Korea, and Eastern Europe, Americans came to feel so threatened that popular and political culture condoned extensive "witch-hunts" to expose communist spies. Part of the American reaction to the Soviet atomic and hydrogen bomb tests included maintaining a large Air Force, under the control of the Strategic Air Command (SAC). SAC employed intercontinental strategic bombers, as well as medium-bombers based close to Soviet airspace (in western Europe and in Turkey) that were capable of delivering nuclear payloads. Tell me What year did the US lose its monopoly to the atomic bomb?

In a frank interview to mark the tenth anniversary of the conflict, the former prime minister said members of the public were still ‘very abusive’ towards him over his decision to take Britain to war alongside George W. Bush. Mr Blair acknowledged that the situation in Iraq was still ‘not nearly what it should be’, with the country suffering almost daily terrorist attacks.

By Jack Gaughan Follow @@Jack_Gaughan Arsene Wenger's side left it late to beat Crystal Palace on the opening day of the Premier League season, with Aaron Ramsey stealing all three points for the Gunners with a winner in added time.

By . Jaya Narain . PUBLISHED: . 20:19 EST, 18 December 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 03:48 EST, 19 December 2013 . Older shoppers were less good at spotting bargains in a test done by Bangor University academics . We might expect hearing or eyesight to fade with age – but here’s one change you might not have bargained on. The older we get, the worse we are at spotting the best supermarket deals, new research has revealed. Despite years of experience, it is younger shoppers who are more attuned to identifying a good discount. Scientists at Bangor University, North . Wales, carried out MRI brain scans on around 30 volunteers who were . shown a series of offers and told to save as much money as possible. They . had to choose what quantity to purchase before moving on to the next . item – but some of the examples were bad deals costing more than the . original price. Imaging techniques highlighted hotspots of brain activity revealing ‘emotional circuitry’ was used to make some decisions. Researcher . Dr Paul Mullins said younger shoppers definitely have an advantage, . adding: ‘It is unusual because one would think that older people would . be better drilled at evaluating what was and what was not a bargain. 'This is very interesting though we don’t . know exactly why it happens and would like to do some more research to . find out why this may be the case.’ The research also shows that women shoppers are no better than men when it comes to being able to identify a cut-price deal.

An entire shoal of fish has been frozen mid-swim off the coast of Norway. Thanks to a sharp eastern wind, part of the ocean froze near Lovund, a small island just a few miles from the northern shores of the Norway mainland. It was only -7.8 degrees, but the wind made wind chill cold enough to freeze the large amount of fish in place. The fish frozen in their shoal off of the coast of Lovund, a small island on the Northern coast of Norway, in ice so thick walkers have been able to safely take their dog out for a walk on it . Aril Slotte of the Norwegian marine research institute Havforskningsinstituttet told the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK) that he thinks the fish were being chased by a predator, which have made them group up in such big numbers. Ingolf Kristiansen said that because the ice was so frozen, no birds were able to fish in the seas. This is not the first instance of an animal being caught frozen in a Norweigian body of water. An elk was found frozen solid after falling through the icy surface of a Norwegian lake, found half visible above the ice. It appears as though it was trying to cross the ice, when it cracked, trapping the elk in the freezing water. Frozen: The animal was found frozen solid in the middle of the water near Bodo in northern Norway with just its antlers and back visible above the ice . Inger Sjøberg, 47, found the animal as she was skating across the lake, reported The Local. 'I was out skating with my boyfriend, and we saw something dark on the ice,' she told the Norway edition of the English language website. 'I thought it was some wood or some grass or something, and when we looked at it, we saw that it was an elk. I have never seen it before, a frozen animal in the ice.' 'We had to go out a bit from land, so the ice was strong enough when he started to walk, but then further out it was not strong enough. It's part of nature that animals die in this way.' A frog frozen to a lake. A frog in search of a mate froze to death while trying to cross a frosty lake ....

I know that the answer to the question "What was the last name of the person who touched the Olympic relay torch previous to Shan?" is in "Hong Kong: The event was held in Hong Kong on May 2. In the ceremony held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui, Chief Executive Donald Tsang handed the torch to the first torchbearer, Olympic medalist Lee Lai Shan. The torch relay then traveled through Nathan Road, Lantau Link, Sha Tin (crossed Shing Mun River via a dragon boat, which had been never used before in the history of Olympic torch relays), Victoria Harbour (crossed by Tin Hau, a VIP vessel managed by the Marine Department) before ending in Golden Bauhinia Square in Wan Chai. A total of 120 torchbearers were selected to participate in the event consisting of celebrities, athletes and pro-Beijing camp politicians. No politicians from the pro-democracy camp were selected as torchbearers. One torchbearer could not participate due to flight delay. It was estimated that more than 200,000 spectators came out and watched the relay. Many enthusiastic supporters wore red shirts and waved large Chinese flags. According to Hong Kong Chief Secretary for Administration Henry Tang, 3,000 police were deployed to ensure order.". Can you tell me what it is?

Summarize: An urgent, desperate warning repeated over and over again: "Mass casualty, mass casualty."
The latest civilian victims of the chaos in Mosul are on their way here. Forty-five Iraqis needing urgent medical care after yet more violence in the Old City.
I am surrounded by medics, who are preparing to help. But all I can do is grip my camera, because I am here as a public communications specialist with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
I have come to Mosul to document what is happening, but what is happening soon overwhelms me.
I turn towards a little girl who has just been rushed inside.
I ask her name. Her aunt whispers to me that her name is Sakina. She is bleeding, so I call out to my colleagues for help.
I am not a medical worker and am already beginning to wonder: Is this serious? Will she survive?
I do not have to wait long to find out. Sakina has several wounds from an explosion.
My colleagues rush in to try to save her. Her aunt asks me to translate what the English-speaking medical team is saying, but she can see what is happening.
The medics try their best, but Sakina is dying in front us.
In Old Mosul, thousands of civilians are trapped and full of fear.
Air strikes, sniper fire, shelling and roadside bombs mean no place in the Old City is safe.
Residents are being forced to make impossible life-or-death choices as they seek to flee the violence.
Explosions shake the hospital, which lies only 1.5km (0.9 miles) from the frontline.
The staff say they do not feel in danger, but the workload is heavy. In early June they had three days in a row when 80 to 90 patients arrived all at once.
Hundreds of civilians arrive every week with terrible wounds.
Bomb blasts throw small stones deep into young bodies, a sickening kind of shrapnel that explodes up in anger from the very streets where these children used to run and play.
There is no child's play now. There are no fairy tales here. Mosul's young have been plunged violently into a real-life horror story that seemingly has no happy...

Article in French: Les produits agressifs et les gommages endommagent la peau plutôt que de l’aider à la guérir. Utilisez tous les jours un savon doux et évitez les produits de gommage à base de coquilles de noix écrasées. Appliquez quotidiennement une crème hydratante, non comédogène. Évitez de gratter ou de presser les boutons ou les pores, car cela pourrait entrainer une dilatation des vaisseaux sanguins . Appliquez chaque jour une crème solaire avec un FPS de 30 ou plus afin de protéger la peau des dommages causés par le soleil. Ne sortez pas aux heures les plus chaudes de la journée. Portez également des chapeaux à large bord et des vêtements à manches longues si nécessaire. Portez un chapeau et une écharpe pour vous protéger la peau contre les températures extrêmes et le vent pendant les mois les plus froids . Un mauvais fonctionnement du foie peut entrainer la dilatation des vaisseaux sanguins. Réduisez votre consommation d’alcool et essayez de prendre des compléments alimentaires pour renforcer la fonction du foie. Essayez des suppléments à base de chardon Marie, de basilic sacré, de racine de pissenlit et de Buplèvres. Consultez votre médecin avant de commencer à prendre des compléments alimentaires . Cela est d’autant plus important si vous souffrez d’une maladie auto-immune. Voici quelques-uns des produits à éviter : les aliments industriels (comme la viande hachée et les hotdogs), les aliments prêts-à-manger, le sucre, le blé et le gluten . Si vous prenez des stéroïdes ou suivez un traitement hormonal de substitution, la dilatation des vaisseaux sanguins peut être un effet secondaire désagréable. Parlez-en à votre médecin pour savoir s’il existe des médicaments alternatifs que vous pourriez prendre. N’arrêtez pas de prendre les médicaments qui vous ont été prescrits, comme les stéroïdes, avant d’en discuter avec un professionnel de la santé.

I am a movie director and I just received the following movie plot. Could you help me answer this question? If not, let me know by writing "Not answerable".
Plot title: Necronomicon
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 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
The film is broken into four separate features: "The Library", "The Drowned", "The Cold" and "Whispers". "The Library" segment is the wrap-around story, which begins and ends the movie.
The Library[edit]
In the wrap-around story of the film, H. P. Lovecraft (Jeffrey Combs) learns of a monastery where a copy of the Necronomicon is held. Having been a regular there for his research, he sets up an appointment, his cab driver told to wait outside. Taking insult when the head monk calls his work "fiction", Lovecraft insists that all his writings are true. Requesting to read the Alchemical Encyclopedia Vol. III, Lovecraft steals a key from another monk and flees to the cellar where the Necronomicon is being held. Unknown to him, a monk has seen him. Unlocking the vault where the book is held, the door closes behind Lovecraft unexpectedly, making him drop the key down a grating and into the water below. As that happens, one of the seals is opened.
Lovecraft sits to read and record what he is reading. It's not specified if he sees visions of the future through the book, or if the book contains future accounts. It's likely the stories will come to pass, and for the Necronomicon have already passed, alluding to the Necronomicon's timelessness, as all the stories take place well beyond the 1920s.
The Drowned[edit]
Edward De LaPoer, a member of the De La Poer family, is tracked down in Sweden after inheriting an old, abandoned family hotel. Left a sealed envelope from Jethro De La Poer, he learns of his uncle's tragic death. Upon a boat trip return to New England, a crash on the shore killed Jethro's wife and son. Distraught, Jethro picked up a copy of the Holy Bible in front of several funeral mourners, tossed it into the fireplace and announced that any god who would take from him is not welcome in his...

Article: A couple from Miami, Bill and Simone Butler, spent sixty-six days in a life-raft in the seas of Central America after their boat sank.
Twenty-one days after they left Panama in their boat, Simony, they met some whales. "They started to hit the side of the boat," said Bill, "and then suddenly we heard water." Two minutes later, the boat was sinking. They jumped into the life-raft and watched the boat go under the water.
For twenty days they had tins of food, biscuits, and bottles of water. They also had a fishing-line and a machine to make salt water into drinking water -- two things which saved their lives. They caught eight to ten fish a day and ate them raw . Then the line broke. "So we had no more fish until something very strange happened. Some sharks came to feed, and the fish under the raft were afraid and came to the surface. I caught them with my hands."
About twenty ships passed them, but no one saw them. After fifty days at sea their life-raft was beginning to break up. Then suddenly it was all over. A fishing boat saw them and picked them up. They couldn't stand up.
So the captain carried them onto his boat and took them to Costa Rica. Their two months at sea was over.

After calling Macy's to determine that they have a brassiere fitting service. We went Northlake Mall Macy's to get my elderly mother in law fitted for a new brassiere this early afternoon. Hubbie dropped us off and headed to the phone kiosk. Once we located the intimates on the 2nd floor, we seemed to be the only patrons on the sales floor, except for one gent strolling back and forth while speaking into his phone.\nWe did get the furniture staff to locate someone for us. We were told the Bra Specialist was off today. The wandering gent then suggested we go try on bras without the sales help, the manager came up to us and told us the bra fitting specialist was due back from lunch in 10 minutes. I asked if the gent was an employee? Neither saleswoman answered me. He wandered around a not leaving the intimate section, I realized I didn't feel safe alone in the intimates dept waiting for sales help with this guy asking me why I needed sales help to buy a bra.\nI went to the Executive offices to meet up with Hubbie, reported the incident to Loss Prevention, iD' the guy and they said they would escort him out. Would I like to continue shopping. We left the store immediately. Never have I ever had such a strange experience before. I can't explain why the female manager on duty didn't suggest this guy move along. My impression is that the store is seriously understaffed. Possibly a good situation for a purse snatcher, or such nefarious behavior. I will not be back. Yelpers beware here. I'm just saying.

Article: A man accused of removing women’s teeth with pliers and a screwdriver during sex because he liked ‘gummy ladies’ claims he was just trying to ‘help’ them. New Zealander Philip Lyle Hansen, 56, has pleaded not guilty to 11 charges, including unlawful sexual connection and charges of wounding with intent to injure four women between 1988 and 2011. On Wednesday a Wellington District Court jury continued hearing evidence from a woman, 47, who was in a relationship with Hansen during the 1990s. The woman, who cannot be named for legal reasons, told the court she never consented to Hansen pulling out her teeth but was too ‘afraid’ to say anything. Crown prosecutor Sally Carter warned the jury that during the trial they would hear evidence about Hansen's ‘fascination or obsession with them [women] not having any teeth’. New Zealander Philip Lyle Hansen, 56, is accused of removing women’s teeth with pliers and a screwdriver during sex . ‘He liked his women without teeth,’ Ms Carter said in her opening address, the New Zealand Herald reports. The court watched a video form 2012 of the woman talking about how Hansen allegedly held her against a car door and removed six of her bottom teeth, using an oily rag to stop the bleeding, during sex. She later had all her teeth removed and replaced with dentures, but when her wisdom teeth started coming through Hansen allegedly removed them with a screwdriver. ‘He had a screwdriver in his hand, he then tilted my head back... after that he had grabbed the screwdriver and started digging at the back of my gums to try and get out these wisdom teeth,’ she said in the video. A woman, 47, has claimed Hansen 'grabbed the screwdriver and started digging at the back of my gums' During cross-examination defence lawyer Mike Antunovic said the woman had let Hansen pull out six teeth from her lower jaw and that Hansen was just trying to help the women, not hurt them. ‘So after he pulled out the first tooth ... the second tooth, the third tooth, the fourth tooth, the fifth tooth, the sixth...

The Malegese Ocean is primarily connected to one river. This river is next to Hilda's farm that she has lived on for decades. Ever since she was a child, she was taught that it's important to dump excess fertilizer into the river. So, that's what she does whenever she has leftover fertilizer she isn't going to use. The Dundrin Ocean is connected to many rivers. However, these rivers are located primarily in uninhabited and natural areas of the world. There is one farm near the Dundrin, though, which is owned by Luke. Luke never disposes of any of his garbage in the ocean or rivers near his farm, and he chooses instead to store excess fertilizer for the future or properly dispose of his trash.
Given the paragraph above, please answer correctly the following question:
Which ocean will have more dead zones?
Hint: Marine pollution is a generic term for the entry into the ocean of potentially hazardous chemicals or particles. The biggest culprits are rivers and with them many agriculture fertilizer chemicals as well as livestock and human waste. The excess of oxygen-depleting chemicals leads to hypoxia and the creation of a dead zone.Marine debris, which is also known as marine litter, describes human-created waste floating in a body of water. Oceanic debris tends to accumulate at the center of gyres and coastlines, frequently washing aground where it is known as beach litter.

While many of his countrymen play reggae or other musical styles borrowed from elsewhere, he and his band, the Amaravi Movement, make music inspired by traditional Malawian rhythms and instruments.
Known in his country as "the voice of the voiceless", Mawanga has a strong social conscience and is not afraid to speak out on behalf of the poor.
He ruffled feathers with his first hit Amakhala ku Blantyre which suggested that city dwellers who visit villages may not be as rich as they seem - they may have borrowed their fancy clothes.

A box bay window has two side panels that meet at 90 degree corners with the back panel. Stretch your tape measure across the back window panel from corner to corner at the panel's top, middle, and bottom, making sure to keep the tape level. Record the smallest measurement you get and subtract ⅜ of an inch (1 cm) for some extra “wiggle room.” “Face-fix” simply means that the blind brackets will be attached on the front face of the window frame, and will normally conceal both the frame and the glass. As with the back panel, take 3 horizontal measurements for each of the side window panels. Use the smallest measurement for each panel as your guide. Then, subtract ⅜ of an inch (1 cm) for your “wiggle room.” Before you buy or order blinds, contact the manufacturer or refer to the packaging to get the precise dimensions of the brackets. You need to know the depth in particular in order to get the proper width measurements for all of your blinds. For example, your brackets might be 2.5 inches (about 6.5 cm) deep. Your back blind can span from corner to corner (call this Option A), in which case you need to subtract the bracket depth (e.g., 2.5 inches) from both of the side panel measurements. Or, the side blinds can span from corner to frame edge (Option B), in which case you need to subtract the bracket depth twice (e.g., 5 inches) from the back panel measurement. When pulled down, either the side blinds will slightly overlap the back blind at the corners (Option A), or the back blind will overlap the side blinds a bit (Option B). To avoid any overlap, you can subtract 5 inches (for example) from the back panel and 2.5 inches from each of the side panels. But your measurements and installation will need to be extra precise to limit gaps in blind coverage.
How would you rephrase that briefly using English?
|
Measure the width of the back window from corner to corner. Measure both side panels from their corners to the edges of their frames. Confirm the depth of the roller blind brackets you'll be using. Choose which measurement(s) you want to subtract your bracket depth from.

Great owners, good flow of the play ground and also comfortable sitting for the parents and free magazines to browse while child is playing. Most playground in Vegas are bacteria filled and pretty nasty. Here I feel like my kid won't get sick by playing.

Title: Gordon Park death: 'Lady in Lake' killer upset by church visit ban\nGiven the above title of an imaginary article, imagine the article.\n
|
"Lady in the Lake" killer Gordon Park was jailed in 2005 for murdering his wife, Carol, nearly 30 years earlier.
An inquest jury at Preston Coroner's Court heard prison visits from an evangelical church elder had been stopped weeks before his death.
Park was found unconscious in his cell at HMP Garth, in Leyland, in 2010.
He had continued to maintain his innocence and in 2008 lost a bid to challenge his conviction.
The inquest was told that, Park who died on his 66th birthday, was found with a plastic bag over his head and a cord around his neck.
His trial heard how he bludgeoned Mrs Park to death with an ice axe in July 1976 and dumped her in the lake near the family home in Leece, near Barrow-in-Furness.
Her body was found by amateur divers 21 years later.
'Nature of the game'
Park was arrested and charged with her murder but the case against him was dropped in January 1998 when the Crown Prosecution Service said it did not have enough evidence against him.
But the retired schoolmaster was arrested again in 2004 and was convicted of murder the following year at Manchester Crown Court and jailed for life, and told he must serve a minimum of 15 years before being considered for parole.
The hearing was told Park had been having regular pastoral visits from George Harrison, of the Pendlebury Evangelical Church in Swinton, Greater Manchester, whom he first met during his trial.
But prison authorities stopped Mr Harrison from seeing Park a month before the inmate's death after they ruled he did not fit the criteria of a pastoral visitor and that Park's religious needs could be met through its chaplaincy service.
Fellow prisoner Andrew Holliday told the jury that Park was "wounded" by the decision and said he thought he might take his own life.
He said: "It is the nature of the game when you are a life sentence prisoner - you think about it."
Another inmate, George Youness, also thought that Park would harm himself.
He said: "He would say 'it's useless, they are not going to accept I'm innocent,...

Colin Bell, who was serving a life sentence for murder, hanged himself at the jail in July 2008.
He had been on suicide watch.
The Prisoner Ombudsman later made 44 recommendations in a highly critical report.
Eight night custody officers who were recommended for dismissal have now been reinstated.
Two senior prison officers recommended for demotion have also been returned to their previous positions, with a formal warning.
The cases of three other prison officers have yet to be resolved.
'Scapegoats'
The chairman of the Prison Officers Association, Finlay Spratt, said the news that ten prison staff would be reinstated was a "just outcome".
"What we have said is the procedures were not applied and they were being used as political scapegoats, unfortunately over the sad death of a prisoner," he said.
The governor and deputy governor at Maghaberry were replaced after a review into the death of Bell, but did not face disciplinary action.
An earlier report found some staff who were supposed to be monitoring him were watching television while they were supposed to be on duty.
On Thursday, the director general of the Northern Ireland Prison Service, Robin Masefield, said he intended to step down from his post before the end of this year.
Concern
Management within prisons in Northern Ireland has been heavily criticised in a series of reports by inspectors.
Sinn Fein's Raymond McCartney, who is vice-chair of the Assembly's justice committee, expressed his concern at the reinstatement of the prison officers and the timing of Mr Masefield's departure.
"There is significant evidence that the prison service rather than being controlled by senior management is in fact run by the Prison Officers Association," he said.
The Northern Ireland Prison Service confirmed that an independent appeal panel had concluded its deliberations in 10 out of the 13 cases.
"The panel have upheld the appeals of eight night custody officers and reduced the penalty awarded to two senior officers," a spokesman... \n\nGive me a good title for the article above.

Article in Indonesian: Karena merupakan otot, jantung membutuhkan latihan. Gaya hidup tidak aktif, seperti duduk seharian, adalah faktor risiko tertinggi penyakit jantung. Sebaliknya, kombinasi peregangan, latihan aerobika, dan latihan kekuatan dapat menguatkan jantung dan sistem kardiovaskular. Itu karena peningkatan sirkulasi dan membantu tubuh menggunakan oksigen dengan lebih efisien. Olahraga juga dapat memperbaiki tidur dan mengurangi stres, yang sama-sama penting untuk kesehatan jantung. Peregangan, atau memanjangkan otot-otot dengan perlahan, bertujuan menyiapkan otot untuk aktivitas dan menyediakan keseimbangan yang mencegah cedera. Lakukan peregangan lengan dan kaki selama 7 sampai 10 menit sebelum dan setelah olahraga untuk mengurangi rasa pegal keesokan harinya. Pastikan Anda mengontrol area tubuh yang diregangkan. Jangan melompat atau menahan peregangan lebih dari 15 detik karena otot mungkin akan tertarik atau sobek. Sebaliknya, bernapaslah dengan teratur dan pelan-pelan regangkan otot yang paling tegang lebih dahulu untuk menambah rentang gerakan. Peregangan akan menghasilkan kebugaran fisik yang lebih baik, menambah relaksasi fisik dan mental, serta mengurangi sakit otot. Jangan melakukan peregangan pagi-pagi sesaat setelah bangun tidur. Tunggulah setidaknya satu jam supaya otot panas. Latihan aerobika sangat disarankan untuk kesehatan jantung karena dapat memecah asam lemak yang tersimpan dan memberi kekuatan lebih untuk otot jantung. Latihan aerobika memperkuat jantung dan paru-paru sehingga meningkatkan pelepasan energi dan membantu fungsi jantung agar bekerja lebih efisien. Mulailah latihan aerobika setiap dua hari sekali untuk membentuk kebiasaan. Kemudian, tingkatkan menjadi 30 menit, 6 hari dalam seminggu. Latihan aerobika yang dapat membantu meningkatkan fungsi jantung harian antara lain: Jalan kaki Joging Dayung Berenang Tenis Golf Ski Main sepatu roda atau papan luncur Bersepeda Lompat tali Senam aerobika impak rendah Olahraga apa pun yang meningkatkan detak jantung dan membuat napas terengah-engah...

Article: Art theft is an ancient and complicated crime. When you look at some of the most famous cases of art thefts in history, you see thoroughly planned operations that involve art dealers, art fakers, mobsters, ransoms, and millions of dollars. Here you can read about some of the most famous cases of art theft in the history.
The First Theft:
The first documented case of art theft was in 1473, when two panels of altarpiece of the Last Judgment by the Dutch painter Hans Memling were stolen. While the triptych was being transported by ship from the Netherlands to Florence, the ship was attacked by pirates who took it to the Gdansk cathedral in Poland. Nowadays, the piece is shown at the National Museum in Gdansk where it was recently moved from the Basilica of the Assumption.
The Most Famous Theft:
The most famous story of art theft involves one of the most famous paintings in the world and one of the most famous artists in history as a suspect. In the night of August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen out of the Louver. Soon after, Pablo Picasso was arrested and questioned by the police, but was released quickly.
It took about two years until the mystery was solved by the Parisian police. It turned out that the 30x21 inch painting was taken by one of the museum employees by the name of Vincenzo Peruggia, who simply carried it hidden under his coat. Nevertheless, Peruggia did not work alone. The crime was carefully conducted by a notorious con man, Eduardo de Valfierno, who was sent by an art faker who intended to make copies and sell them as if they were the original painting.
While Yves Chaudron, the art faker, was busy creating copies for the famous masterpiece, Mona Lisa was still hidden at Peruggias' apartment. After two years in which Peruggia did not hear from Chaudron,
. Eventually, Peruggia was caught by the police while trying to sell the painting to an art dealer from Florence, Italy. The Mona Lisa was returned to the Louver in 1913.

When Elizabeth I became queen, she ordered a survey of her castles. A 1562 report told her that only ten castles in the north of her realm were worth keeping; Melbourne was not one of these. A further survey in 1576 reported that, although the stonework was in good condition apart from one chimney and window, the timbers were perished, the lead roof was full of holes, one kitchen was on the verge of collapse, and another needed its floor replacing. In the same year, George Talbot, 6th Earl of Shrewsbury, wrote to the queen to assure her that the castle was in good condition, worth £1,000, and could be repaired for £100. Since he was responsible for keeping the imprisoned Mary, Queen of Scots, and her 140 retainers, he hoped to get her moved to Melbourne. In 1583, the castle was inspected again to see if it was suitable to house the captive queen. Although the rooms were sufficient in number and quality, the unfinished building was deemed "imperfect at every corner". The large rooms would need subdividing, the floors were earth and plaster, and there was no paved courtyard "so as being out of dors you are in the myre, for it is verie foule and unpleasaunt to walk round about the said house". In 1584, Queen Elizabeth finally decided to move Mary to Melbourne, only for the plan to be abandoned following the Babington Plot to assassinate the English queen and place her Scottish cousin on the throne.In 1597, the castle was being used as a cattle pound, although a survey in 1602 assured Elizabeth that it was a "faire and anciente castle, which her Majesty keepeth in her own hands." The constable's annual fee of £10 was the same as that paid to Ingram Fauconer 140 years earlier.The castle and lands were bought for £4,700 in 1604, by Henry Hastings, 5th Earl of Huntingdon, whose family seat at Ashby de la Zouch Castle was just 11 km (7 mi) away. Melbourne Castle was destroyed between 1610 and 1637 so that its materials could be used in other construction. By 1629, it is likely that all the worked stone above ground......

Pour boiling water through the material. Apply a brightening dish soap solution. Apply vinegar and liquid laundry detergent. Spray and blot up a club soda and white vinegar mixture.
Given the above summary, write a detailed text in English for it.
|
If you're treating a stain on a piece of fabric or clothing, stretch the fabric over a large bowl. Position the stain in the center and wrap a rubber band around the outside of the bowl to hold the fabric in place. Bring a kettle of water to a boil and slowly pour the hot water through the stain and into the bowl. The hot water can loosen the stain and force it out of the fabric. If you're cleaning a fabric stain on a couch, you'll need to remove the cover or cushion to get to the stain. Get out a small bowl and pour in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of gentle dishwashing liquid. Stir in 1/4 cup (60 ml) of hydrogen peroxide until it's combined. Apply the solution to the stain and let it just soak in for 20 minutes. Once the stain looks like it's lifting, wash the material in the washing machine. Only use the brightening dish soap solution on light fabrics since it can lighten dark fabrics. Another way to lift stubborn stains is to coat the stain with white vinegar. Take a few spoonfuls of liquid laundry detergent and rub the soap in. This should loosen the stain. Wash the fabric in hot water to completely remove the stain. If you don't have very many materials to make a deep cleaning solution, just spray club soda mixed with equal parts of white vinegar over the stain. Use paper towels or an old towel to blot up the mixture. You can repeat spraying and blotting until you see the stain lifting.

Movie title: The Sting
Context: It is 1936 and a money runner is carrying the week's take -- $11,000 -- from an illegal gambling outfit in Joliet, Illinois, to the main office. On the way, three men con him by replacing his money with tissue paper. Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw), the mobster who was supposed to get the money, exacts revenge by having one of the con men, Luther Coleman (Robert Earl Jones), murdered. Lonnegan also orders a hit on Luther's partner, Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford). Hooker goes to Chicago to escape Lonnegan's wrath. In Chicago he meets Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman), an old friend of Luther's. To revenge Luther's death, they set up an elaborate plan -- a "long con" -- to swindle an enormous sum out of Lonnegan so neatly that he won't even realize he's been conned.Posing as an obnoxious gambling boss from Chicago, Gondorff gets into a high-stakes poker game with Lonnegan, who is known to cheat. Gondorff cheats better and wins $15,000 from Lonnegan -- but Lonnegan can't pay it right away because his wallet is missing. (One of Gondorff's associates picked his pocket before the game.) Gondorff sends Hooker to Lonnegan's room to pick up the money. Hooker, playing Gondorff's resentful second-in-command, tells Lonnegan he has a great plan to con Gondorff, but he needs "someone respectable" to place the bets. Lonnegan, furious at being out-cheated, bites.Gondorff and company do a lot of fast work to get ready for the final phase of the long con. First they assemble a mob and rent an empty basement, transforming it in a couple of days into a prosperous gambling parlor. An announcer in a back room describes horse races as if they were happening live -- but he's reading from a ticker tape, so the results are known in advance. They choose a race with odds they like -- maybe 3:1 or 4:1 -- and call in a tip (a particular horse or horses to win, place, or show) to the pay phone at the corner drugstore, where Lonnegan is waiting.

I'm standing in my bedroom with my Moto X set to the forward-facing selfie cam, throwing it into the air time and time again. I hit the shutter and toss or drop the phone while I madly clap my hands together above my head. Finally, I give up. I'm a high-five selfie failure. I will never be like Seth Schneider, the intrepid Twitter user who launched a viral high-five selfie trend with a single fateful tweet on Saturday.
Schneider's tweet shows a blurry image of him high-fiving himself (you might also recognize this gesture as an above-the-head clap). The photo captures his phone suspended in front of his face. It appears to have been taken in front of a bathroom mirror, in classic selfie fashion.
Schneider writes, "Today is the proudest day of my life. I successfully took a picture of me high fiving myself." He should be proud. Taking a high-five selfie with no tripod is hard work. You need to have skill, timing and a whole lot of luck. I'm failing at all of those.
The tweet has over 165,000 retweets and more than 420,000 likes. With that sort of viral popularity comes a slew of imitators. A twitter search for "high five selfie" shows other triumphant selfie-takers with high-flying phones and hands planted firmly together. These modern-day superheroes are risking their phones to achieve the nearly impossible.
You, too, can attempt a high-five selfie. I recommend you follow the example of Twitter user Ralph. He placed a pillow on his bathroom counter to cushion his phone's fall. Just bear in mind the potential dangers to your expensive gear. Schneider updated his Twitter bio to read "I am not responsible for any broken phones."
I try again. I successfully take a series of photos of the top of my head and add a few more that are so blurry you can't even tell which way the camera is facing. I'm reaching a moment of acceptance. The illusive high-five selfie will always be my unicorn, a mythical creature I will never know in real life. Don't cry for me. I've made my peace...
Document: RALEIGH, N.C., Oct. 10 (UPI) -- A North Carolina student unwittingly kicked off a Twitter craze when he successfully got his camera to take a mid-air picture of him high-fiving himself.
Seth Schneider posted a blurry-but-impressive photo to Twitter Saturday showing him slapping his hands together in the air while his phone captures the moment in a mirror while in mid-air from being tossed.
"Today is the proudest day of my life. I successfully took a picture of me high fiving myself," the North Carolina State University student wrote.
Schneider's accomplishment quickly spread across Twitter with more than 160,000 retweets and dozens of imitators -- some more successful than others.
"I am not responsible for any broken phones," Schneider wrote as a disclaimer in his Twitter bio.

Still taking ordinary selfies? Prepare to feel as old-fashioned as a flip phone. The "high-five selfie" is the newest trend, thanks to a North Carolina man's Twitter post on Saturday. "Today is the proudest day of my life. I successfully took a picture of me high fiving myself," Seth Schneider tweeted, alongside a blurry photo of himself in the mirror with his hands together, snapped by a cellphone falling through the air, per UPI. The post, now with nearly 434,000 likes and 171,500 retweets, has inspired countless others to attempt the same feat. Many have succeeded, though often with damage to one's cellphone. "I saw a challenge. And I accepted. Also cracked my phone a bit but worth it," one user writes. Amanda Kooser at CNET was less successful in combining "skill, timing, and a whole lot of luck," though she commends "these modern-day superheroes" for "risking their phones to achieve the nearly impossible." Unless you have an unbreakable phone, your best bet might be to copy this Twitter user who used a pillow to cushion his phone's fall and ended up with one of the best high-five selfies yet. As Schneider notes on his Twitter profile, "I am not responsible for any broken phones." (Try it out: You might feel happier.)

First, read the Spanish article below.
Si sufres de una ruptura de disco, es probable que lidies con un dolor que puede aumentar en la noche. Acostarte cuando no estás cansado puede dificultar el que te quedes dormido y esto puede ser aún más difícil si tienes dolor en la columna vertebral. Procura acostarte solo cuando estés cansado. La luz que emiten los teléfonos, las computadoras y otros dispositivos puede confundir a tu cuerpo y hacer que piense que aún es de día. Esto puede dificultar que te quedes dormido en la noche. Procura apagar todos los dispositivos aproximadamente media hora antes de acostarte. Una noche buena de sueño es más fácil de conseguir si el dormitorio está completamente oscuro y la temperatura está fresca. Procura usar cortinas oscuras para impedir que la luz proveniente de las ventanas ingrese y mantén la temperatura fría pero cómoda. Comer muy cerca de la hora de dormir, consumir alcohol y tomar bebidas con cafeína puede perturbar el sueño. Deja de comer entre 2 y 3 horas antes de acostarte. Además, limita la cantidad de cafeína que consumes y no la ingieras después de las 2 o 3 de la tarde. También debes limitar tu ingesta de alcohol en la noche, ya que puede contribuir a tener un sueño intranquilo. Mantenerte físicamente activo durante el día también puede ayudar a mejorar tu sueño en la noche. Levántate a lo largo del día si tienes un trabajo sedentario y camina un poco alrededor del edificio o incluso por la oficina. Además, procura realizar al menos 30 minutos de actividad física casi todos los días, como salir a caminar, pasear en bicicleta o nadar. . Las técnicas de relajación como la respiración profunda, la meditación, la relajación muscular progresiva y la autosugestión pueden ser útiles para aliviar el dolor y fomentar una buena noche de sueño. Trata de reservar al menos 15 minutos al día para practicar una técnica de relajación. Hacerlo justo antes de acostarte puede ser especialmente útil. También puedes intentar tomar una ducha o un baño caliente, escuchar música relajante o beber una taza de té de hierbas...

Title: Belarus election: Second protester dies as UN sounds alarm\nGiven the above title of an imaginary article, imagine the article.\n
|
Officials say the cause of death of the 25-year-old man in Gomel is unclear. His mother says he had heart problems and was kept for hours in a police van.
In Brest, police said they used live bullets when they came under attack.
The UN has condemned the use of violence by authorities, as protests continued for a fourth night.
The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Michelle Bachelet, said police officers were reported to have used excessive force, firing rubber bullets and water cannons, and also throwing stun grenades.
"Reports suggest that more [than] approximately 6,000 people have been detained in the last three days, including bystanders, as well as minors, suggesting a trend of massive arrests in clear violation of international human rights standards," Ms Bachelet said in a statement.
"Even more disturbing are the reports of ill-treatment during and after detention", she added, calling for the release of all those unlawfully detained. State TV has shown some bruised detainees lined up and being asked if they intend to continue "making revolution".
At least 200 protesters have been wounded, some seriously. A BBC crew was also attacked by police on Tuesday evening.
A demonstrator died during a protest in the capital Minsk on Monday. The Belarusian interior ministry alleged an explosive device had gone off in his hand.
On Wednesday evening, more clashes were reported as protesters rallied again in Minsk and other Belarusian cities. The numbers on the streets appeared to be smaller that during previous nights.
The protests erupted hours after Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko, in power since 1994, was declared the winner of Sunday's vote, which has been condemned by the EU as "neither free nor fair".
The main opposition contender, Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, was then briefly held before being forced to leave for neighbouring Lithuania.

Before the reign of Henry VIII, the sovereign always granted his or her assent in person. The sovereign, wearing the Imperial State Crown, would be seated on the throne in the Lords chamber, surrounded by heralds and members of the royal court—a scene that nowadays is repeated only at the annual State Opening of Parliament. The Commons, led by their speaker, would listen from the Bar of the Lords, just outside the chamber. The Clerk of the Parliaments presented the bills awaiting assent to the monarch, save that supply bills were traditionally brought up by the speaker. The Clerk of the Crown, standing on the sovereign's right, then read aloud the titles of the bills (in earlier times, the entire text of the bills). The Clerk of the Parliaments, standing on the sovereign's left, responded by stating the appropriate Norman French formula.

Question: Where does Rudy Russo live?
If there is no answer, please output "Insufficient information to provide an answer.".
Movie title: Used Cars
Context: Rudy Russo is a young and cunning used car salesman in Phoenix with aspirations of running for senate. He works at the struggling New Deal used car lot owned by the elderly Luke Fuchs, who agrees to help invest $10,000 in Rudy's campaign if he promises to keep the business alive. Meanwhile, across the street, Luke's younger brother Roy L. Fuchs (also played by Warden) is desperate to keep his used car lot from being demolished and replaced by a proposed freeway exit. Wanting to collect life insurance money and New Deal from Luke, Roy hires his mechanic, ex-demolition derby driver Mickey, to recklessly drive Luke's 1957 Chevrolet Two-Ten coupe around the block with Luke in the passenger's seat. After the Chevy crashes back into the lot, Luke dies of a heart attack, but leaves Rudy with evidence that Roy staged the "accident". In an attempt to prevent Roy from gaining any inheritance, Rudy has his superstitious co-worker Jeff and mechanic Jim help him bury Luke in the lot's backyard in an Edsel that was once New Deal's sign ornament. They explain to Roy that Luke went on a vacation to Miami.
The next night, Rudy and his friends make an illegal live broadcast of their commercial in the middle of a football game, but it goes awry when Jeff finds out the car on display is red (which he believes is bad luck) and female model Margaret has her dress stuck on the hood ornament, which rips and exposes her when the hood is popped open. The commercial results in New Deal receiving a massive number of customers the next day. In one deal, Jeff cons a family into buying a station wagon by having the lot's mascot dog Toby fake being run over during a test drive. When Roy lures customers in his lot by hiring a circus animal service, Rudy counters with a live stripper show. Luke's estranged daughter Barbara Jane visits the lot in hopes of reuniting with him after more than ten years, but Rudy conceals the truth about her father by taking her out on a date, which inadvertently convinces her to stay in town.

Condense the article down to the essentials to present it in the form of short cards in mobile news apps:
(CNN) -- Nigeria's president Goodluck Jonathan has suspended the national soccer team from international competition for two years after their dismal performance at the World Cup. Nigeria came bottom of Group B at the tournament in South Africa, losing to Argentina and Greece before drawing with South Korea. Now president Jonathan has dissolved the Nigerian Football Federation and removed the "Super Eagles" from the international circuit, meaning sanctions could follow from soccer's governing body FIFA. Nigeria's Sports Minister Ibrahim Isa Bio confirmed the decision in an interview with CNN. "The government has taken a decision we believe is in the interests of Nigeria that we should for now, withdraw from international competition because our football since 1996 seems not to be growing," he said. "The government spends a lot of money to encourage football in Nigeria and we need to go back to the drawing board the way Ghana did two years ago. "The president Goodluck Jonathan has endorsed this decision and the Nigerian people are excited about it. "They are not happy with the performance [in the World Cup] and the Nigerian people believe the right thing to do is start all over again. We have informed FIFA of our intentions." Earlier, Mr Isa Bio's spokesman, Olukayode Thomas, told CNN: "Nigeria is a sovereign state and has the right to take a decision aimed at improving the nation. It's a decision that was taken by all Nigerians. We can't stand back and watch our football decline because of FIFA rules." Thomas said an interim body has been established in the wake of the football federation's demise, and that new elections would be held shortly to appoint new officials. CNN anchor Pedro Pinto said the decision was also based on Nigeria's performance at the African Cup of Nations, as well as their organization of the under-17 World Cup. FIFA rules prevent governments from interfering in the running of national football federations, and on Wednesday president Sepp Blatter warned France on a similar issue. FIFA...

Two days of replenishment at Saipan permitted her to steam in Task Force 58 (TF 58) for photographic reconnaissance and air strikes against the islands of the Palau Islands group. On 25 and 26 July, her planes struck enemy planes, ships, and ground installations. Franklin departed on 28 July and headed for Saipan, and the following day she was shifted to TG 58.1.

Article in English: Different car manufacturers use different ways to attach the plastic cover, such as screws, tabs, bolts, and other fasteners. Examine your bumper to find the connection points, then remove any fasteners and slide the bumper free. These connection points may be near the trunk latch, tail lights, or wheel wells, as well as hidden beneath bumper fascia. Use some coarse sandpaper to lightly scuff up the plastic. Scuffing helps remove dirt buildup and creates a rougher texture to help the adhesive bond with the surface. After scuffing, wipe the area down with a plastic surface cleaner on a soft, clean cloth to remove any leftover dirt or grease. Pour some clean water over the area, removing any residue from the surface cleaner. Set the bumper on an old towel and leave it until it feels completely dry. Use a clean cloth to spread prep solvent over the area. Prep solvent removes contaminants from the area, so make sure to only wipe it on in 1 direction instead of back and forth. Wiping in 2 directions will drag contaminants back into the repair area. Once the solvent is dry, sand the area by hand with 80-grit sandpaper. The kind of filler you use depends on the type of plastic your bumper is made of, which is indicated on the back of the bumper cover with stamped initials. Call or go in to ask someone at the counter of an auto repair store for some filler product recommendations before purchasing. The plastic types PP (polypropylene), PPO (polyphenylene oxide), and TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) will smear easily when ground or machine-sanded. Plastic types PUR (polyurethane plastic rigid) and TPUR (thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer) will turn to powder when they're ground or sanded down. The brand doesn't necessarily matter, but you should stick with the same brand throughout the entire repair process for the best results. Mix equal amounts of filler and hardener on a clean piece of cardboard. Use a putty knife to smooth the filler into any cracks that are less than 0.25 inches (0.64 cm) deep and leave a little...

Take the plastic bumper cover off of the car. Scuff the damaged area and clean it with a plastic surface cleaner. Rinse the surface and let it air-dry. Wipe the area down with prep solvent in 1 direction, then sand the area. Consult an auto repair store to find the right adhesive. Mix and fill in damaged spots with a light layer of filler. Let the filler harden for 20 minutes, then sand it level by hand. Apply 2 coats of flexible part sealer before priming and painting. Finished.

In October 2014, Mar Herraiz was close to giving birth. She had been 20 hours without sleep and had had an epidural.
Nonetheless, three members of the examination board for her nursing course appeared, insisting she would have to take a test or fail the course.
The Spanish High Court has now ruled in Ms Herraiz's favour.
Now, unless it appeals, Madrid's health service must let Ms Herraiz, 37, resit the exam of 100 questions, which she failed just before giving birth to her daughter.
The judge found that Ms Herraiz's treatment amounted to discrimination and that she had suffered greatly from a "major lack of sensitivity" that "confounds the most basic commonsense", reported El Español newspaper (in Spanish).

Write an expanded news article with plausible details from the following summary:
Arlen Specter has a new gig, and to hear him tell it, it’s a logical progression from his old one. “I’ve been in comedy now for 30 years,” he told the audience at the Helium Comedy Club in Philadelphia. “It’s sit-down comedy.” Yes, believe it or not, the former senator tried his hand at stand-up comedy last night, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports, and it actually went pretty well—even if some of the jokes were recycled from a 2007 Washington comedy competition. Here are a smattering of his jokes, courtesy of this video, and this write-up: On Bill Clinton: “I called Clinton up on his 65th birthday, and I said, ‘Bill, congratulations on being 65, how do you feel?’ He said, ‘Arlen, I feel like a teenager. The problem is I can’t find one.’” On Ed Rendell: He described the ex-governor as a “man about town” who bragged that “I have sex almost every night. I almost have sex on Monday, I almost have sex on Tuesday…” On Chris Christie: He was upset that the recent hurricane “destroyed his entire library—both books. And he wasn't finished coloring them." On Newt Gingrich: Specter says he was once on a train with Gingrich, a minister and a waitress when a waitress asked what they wanted to drink. "The minister said … 'Drinking is a sin. I would commit adultery first.' … Gingrich jumped up and said, 'Wait, wait, I didn't know that was one of the choices.' "

Arlen Specter appears on stage at the Helium Comedy Club's open-mike night in Center City. (David Swanson / Staff Photographer)
So an ex-senator walks into a comedy club . . .
That's not the setup to a joke - it's what happened Tuesday night when Arlen Specter took the stage at the Helium Comedy Club's open-mike night in Center City.
"I've been in comedy now for 30 years," the former senator explained.
Taking a try at stand-up was a natural step after spending so many years in the "sit-down comedy" of Congress - and, Specter noted, it was considerably less expensive.
While some of his jokes are unprintable in a family newspaper - don't ask about the paraplegic who wanted to date the battered woman - Specter spent much of his three minutes on stage ribbing prominent local and national politicians.
And, as befits someone who switched political parties twice in his career, both Republicans and Democrats were up for ribbing.
Specter explained that Gov. Christie was upset that a recent storm demolished his Jersey Shore house because it also destroyed "his entire library - both books. And he wasn't finished coloring one."
After making jokes about both former President Bill Clinton and current Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's adulterous pasts, Specter quipped: "When I see Bill Clinton, I'm going to tell him that Newt Gingrich got applause and he didn't."
As for Ed Rendell, his East Falls neighbor, Specter told reporters afterward that "he can watch the newscast" to find out what joke Specter made at his expense.
Here's a hint: It had to do with the now-single former governor's amorous pursuits.
Truth be told, many of the jokes were repackaged from previous comedic performances, especially a 2007 appearance at a Washington comedy-club competition, where he was crowned second-funniest celebrity in the nation's capital. (At that gig, former Sen. Trent Lott was the butt of the "both books" joke.)
That did not stop Specter's audience - composed mostly of...
