Washington (CNN) -- No employees of NBC will face criminal charges over the display of a high-capacity ammunition magazine on a "Meet the Press" program in violation of local law in Washington, prosecutors told the network on Friday. The capital city's attorney general, Irvin Nathan, said in a letter to NBC there would be no charges, but added that it was "a very close decision." Nathan also said "there is no doubt of the gravity of the illegal conduct in this matter, especially in a city and a nation that have been plagued by carnage from gun violence." The letter also confirmed the 30-round magazine displayed by show host David Gregory on December 23 was empty. At the time, Gregory was interviewing Wayne LaPierre of the National Rifle Association, a strong opponent of new gun control proposals. Nathan said the network used the magazine with the "purpose of informing an ongoing public debate about firearms policy" not long after the school shooting massacre in Newtown, Connecticut. Even an empty magazine violates city law. Conviction carries a possible sentence of up to a year in jail as well as a possible fine of up to $1,000. A police spokeswoman said that NBC asked before the program whether it would be legal to show a high capacity magazine on air and was told no. An official with the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives told CNN he consulted with city police after receiving a similar request from NBC and was told an empty magazine would not be a problem. The official passed the information to NBC, but later learned there was a "miscommunication" with police and that showing an empty magazine would, indeed, violate the law. The official said he did not give NBC permission to use a magazine. In his letter, Nathan referred to "feeble and unsatisfactory efforts" made by NBC to find out what it could legally do. "Although there appears to have been some misinformation provided initially, NBC was clearly and timely advised by a (Metropolitan Police Department) employee that its plans to exhibit on the broadcast a high capacity magazine would violate D.C. law, and there was no contrary advice from any federal official," Nathan said. He added that any uncertainty about the law was unjustified. "Meet the Press" issued an e-mailed statement following Nathan's decision. "We displayed the empty magazine solely for journalistic purposes to help illustrate an important issue for our viewers," the show said. "We accept the District of Columbia Attorney General's admonishment, respect his decision and will have no further comment on this matter." Summarize this article.

Question: A cleaning company produces two sanitizer sprays. One spray kills 50% of germs, and another spray kills 25% of germs. However, 5% of the germs they kill are the same ones. What percentage of germs would be left after using both sanitizer sprays together? Answer:

After the first spray kills 50% of germs, there will be 100 - 50 = <<100-50=50>>50% left. The second spray kills 25%, but 5% have already been killed by the 50% spray, so it kills 25 - 5 = <<25-5=20>>20%. After the second spray kills 20% of the remaining germs, there will be 50 - 20 = <<50-20=30>>30% left. The answer is 30.

Question: The total for the sum and product of Elvie's age and Arielle's age are 131. If Elvie's age is 10, how old is Arielle? Answer:

Let's say Arielle's age is x The sum of Elvie's age and Arielle's age is 10+x The product of their ages is 10*x The total for the sum and product of their ages is 10+x+10*x = 131 To find Ariel's age, we evaluate x, which is 10+11x = 131 This gives us a total of 11x=121 Arielle's age is x=121/11 The value of x, which is Arielles's age, is 11 The answer is 11.

By . James Slack, Chris Greenwood and Larisa Brown . PUBLISHED: . 18:54 EST, 4 November 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 19:24 EST, 4 November 2013 . Fanatic fiasco: Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed gave police the slip by entering a London mosque in his regular clothes - then leaving disguised in a burka . A new tagging fiasco has plunged the monitoring of Britain’s most dangerous terror suspects into chaos. Three men who were accused of tampering with their supposedly state-of-the-art monitoring equipment walked free from court after their lawyers successfully argued the tags were ‘faulty’. One of the men – Al Qaeda-trained fanatic Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed – was last night the subject of an international manhunt after going on the run only a few hours after the case collapsed. After being freed, the 27-year-old jihadist gave police the slip by entering a London mosque in his regular clothes – then leaving disguised in a burka. Lawyers for the Somali-born British citizen had claimed he had damaged his electronic tag when kneeling down to pray. The other two men involved in the tagging case are a fanatic linked to the foiled 2006 airline liquid bomb plot and an Iranian explosives expert. The shocking revelations have led to a review of the tagging regime. Last night there were also demands from MPs for the burka to be banned. Tory MP Philip Hollobone said the burka had proved the ‘most complete disguise for a Muslim terrorist suspect’. On a day of drama at Westminster, Home Secretary Theresa May appeared before MPs to explain what had gone so badly wrong with the monitoring of Mohamed. He is linked to the Al-Shabaab terror group and is accused of plotting attacks against Western interests in east Africa. Mohamed was under a terrorism prevention and investigation measures order, or T-Pim, to restrict his movements. Along with eight other men who are the subject of a T-Pim, the conditions included wearing a new GPS electronic tag, which allow their every step to be tracked on a computer screen. Mohamed, along with two other terror suspects, was accused of tampering with his tag – a crime which potentially carries a five-year jail term. But last week the case against all three men collapsed when the Crown Prosecution Service said there was insufficient evidence. Defence lawyers say that the cases had to be dropped because the design of the new tags is flawed. They say that the tags do not appear to have been stress-tested to cope with a devout Muslim who prostrates himself in prayer five times a day. Faulty: Mohamed, along with two other terror . suspects, was accused of tampering with his tag. But their lawyers . successfully argued the devices were damaged by the stress of the . five-times-a-day Muslim prayers . Caught on CCTV: Mohamed entered the An-Noor Masjid Mosque and Community Centre in Acton, West London, at 10am. He was last seen inside the mosque at 3.15pm before leaving disguised in a burka (right) It was in the immediate aftermath of . the verdict in his case on Friday that Mohamed entered the An-Noor . Masjid Mosque and Community Centre in Acton, West London, at 10am. He was last seen inside the mosque at 3.15pm before leaving disguised in a burka. Somali-born Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed, 27, has been linked to the Somali terror group Al-Shabaab – the extremists behind the Kenyan mall massacre – and is accused of plotting attacks on Western interests in east Africa. It is understood he took part in terrorist training in 2008 and is believed to have helped various individuals travel from the UK to Somalia to allow them to engage in terrorism-related activity. Mohamed, who is 5ft 8in and of medium build, is also suspected of helping to plan attacks in Somalia and overseas, including an attack intended for the Juba Hotel in Mogadishu in 2010. He is thought to be a member of a UK-based network which had access to money, false passports and documentation, as well as equipment, and is understood to have procured funds and weapons for terrorism uses for the network. It emerged last night that he repeatedly purchased phone cards used to call contacts overseas in the weeks before he fled. He bought the international Lycamobile cards from a newsagent close to the An-Noor Masjid Mosque and Community Centre in West London – the same mosque from which he made his escape dressed in a burka last Friday. The purchase of the phone cards will fuel suspicions he had long been plotting to escape abroad, possibly back to his Al-Shabaab associates in Somalia. It was also revealed last night that the son of extradited hate preacher Abu Hamza is viewed as a local ‘celebrity’ at the mosque. Uthman Mustafa Kamal was said to have built up a following at the mosque. He has also prayed for holy war in a video uploaded to the mosque’s YouTube site. The case immediately led to an on-going international manhunt. Security officials fear he may already be overseas. In the Commons, Shadow Home Secretary . Yvette Cooper demanded to know the role the tagging fiasco had played, . asking: ‘Why did the Government drop the case? Were the tags faulty?’ She . also attacked the T-Pims which the Coalition introduced as an . alternative to Labour’s control orders. Mohamed is the second man to . flee while under a T-Pim in only ten months. Unlike . control orders, it is no longer possible for the police and security . services to force a terror suspect to relocate to another part of the . country and so break up their support network. Mohamed, . who had originally been subject of a control order and moved out of . London, was allowed to move back when T-Pims came into force in January . 2012. Miss Cooper said: ‘This Home Secretary has made it easier for terror suspects to disappear and that is irresponsible.’ Mrs May denied T-Pims had put the public at risk and said Mohamed’s tag was thought to have be working correctly when he absconded. Officials were aware he may have gone on the run on Friday afternoon and began urgent work to track him. His identity was made public on Sunday night. The Ministry of Justice said it was investigating whether ‘a very small number of GPS tags currently in use ... may be overly sensitive to tamper alerts’. █ The Serious Fraud Office has opened an investigation into the Government’s multi-million-pound contracts with security firms G4S and Serco for tagging criminals. An audit suggested that the companies had been charging for tagging criminals who were either dead, in jail or never tagged in the first place. In some cases bills continued to be paid for months or years after tags were taken off, Justice Secretary Chris Grayling told MPs. Both G4S and Serco said they would ‘co-operate fully’ with the investigation. ANALYSIS by JAMES SLACK . Fiasco: Nick Clegg's insisting control orders must be significantly watered down may have paved the way for Mohamed's escape from custody . It was Theresa May who was dragged to the Commons yesterday to explain how another terrorism suspect had been allowed to slip through the net. But this is a fiasco covered in the fingerprints of Nick Clegg, the Deputy Prime Minister. When the Coalition was formed in 2010, both sides committed to a review of Labour’s controversial control order regime, which allowed fanatics to be placed under virtual house arrest. They could be made to stay indoors for up to 16 hours a day, banned from having computers and mobile phones and – crucially – forced to relocate to another part of the UK. Months of wrangling between the Tories and Lib Dems followed, with Mr Clegg insisting control orders must be significantly watered down. Mrs May fought hard on behalf of the security services, but, in order to keep the overnight curfew element of the control orders (albeit reduced to ten hours), she was forced to sacrifice the power of relocation. Labour now insists she is paying a heavy price for this compromise – which stripped MI5 of a powerful tool that could be used to break up terrorist support networks. As we report today, Mohammed Ahmed Mohamed had previously been the subject of a relocation order when he was subject to a control order. But, under the T-Pim regime insisted upon by Mr Clegg, he was free to move back to London in early 2012. Would he really have been able to plot his escape – or get away so easily – had he been living in a smaller town or city, without having his associates and support network close by? What is certain is that he is not the first terror suspect to vanish after having his relocation order quashed. Ibrahim Magag – an associate of Mohamed, who attended training camps in Somalia – had been sent from London to live in the west of England under the terms of his control order. Back in the capital, he gave the police the slip by jumping into the back of a black cab in London’s Triton Street on Boxing Day 2012 and hasn’t been seen since. The fanatic is now understood to be abroad. Heavy price: But it was Home Secretary Theresa May who had to answer to the Commons about it yesterday . Mrs May says the scrapping of the relocation power should not be blamed, pointing out that under Labour’s control orders there were seven absconds and six of the suspects were never apprehended. Currently there are nine terror suspects, including Mohamed, subject to a T-Pim, which are used against those who cannot be prosecuted in court because there is insufficient admissible evidence. Normally, this is because handing the evidence to suspects would expose secret intelligence gathering techniques or put agents’ lives at risk. Summarize this article.

Three men accused of tampering with tags walk free after lawyers argue it was their regular prayer that interfered with the devices . One of them, Al Qaeda-trained Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed, was then able to give police the slip after disguising himself with a full-face veil . The Al Shabaab-linked terror suspect, who is accused of plotting attacks in East Africa, is now subject to an international manhunt .

By . Emma Glanfield . An investigation has been launched after thieves drilled through a pipeline underneath Nick Clegg's official country residence and siphoned £8.3million worth of fuel. Police said the gang stole about 30,000 litres of fuel a day over a period of seven months from the pipe underneath Chevening House estate, which is shared by the Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Secretary. The fuel was funnelled along a 1,600 foot pipe to an area just outside the 3,500 acre estate near Sevenoaks, Kent, and pumped into huge plastic containers aboard lorries. Police said thieves drilled into a pipeline underneath Chevening House Estate near Sevenoaks, Kent (pictured), and stole £8.3million worth of fuel by siphoning it through a 1,600 foot long pipe over a seven-month period . The theft was discovered on Wednesday after new security measures were introduced on Esso's South East Pipeline, The Sun reported. The line, which is 120 miles long, carries fuel from Fawley Refinery in Hampshire to Purfleet Fuel Terminal and Gatwick. Kent Police said initial indications were that it had been 'a well organised crime'. A spokesman said: 'Kent Police was notified of some tampering to a fuel pipeline in the Sevenoaks area on August 6. Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg (pictured) shares the country residence in Kent with the Foreign Secretary . 'Initial indications are that this was a well organised crime, employing highly specialist techniques to siphon fuel from pipelines which operate at very high pressure.' A spokesman for the Cabinet Office said: 'We are aware of an ongoing police investigation. For more details talk to Kent Police.' Esso was not immediately available for comment.

Nokia as a brand might be down, but it's not out. The firm today gave internet users a hint of a new product that looks unlike a mobile phone - setting the inter alight with speculation over what it could be, from a TV set top box to take on the Apple TV and Amazon Fire, to a small computer. However, one thing it will not be is a mobile phone - as part of a recent deal with Microsoft, Nokia is not allowed to use its branding on phones until 2017 - but that means after this date, Nokia phones could also be resurrected. The firm today tweeted this mysterious image - . Following Microsoft's plans to ditch the Nokia brand across its smartphone range, the FFinnishfirm has unveiled plans to start licencing its name and expertise to other manufacturers, starting this quarter . Following Microsoft's plans to ditch the brand across its smartphone range, the Finnish firm also unveiled a strategy to start licencing its name, expertise and technologies to other manufacturers, starting this quarter. Microsoft bought Nokia's phone business for £4.5bn ($7.2 bn) in April and announced it was dropping both the Nokia and Windows Phone brand names in October, in favour of just using Lumia. But, the Finnish firm will continue to trade as a separate company, focusing on mapping and network infrastructure. As part of the deal, Nokia is not allowed to use its own branding on smartphones until 2016, and on feature phones until 2024. The recent licencing plans were announced at the Nokia Capital Markets Day by president of Nokia Technologies, Ramzi Haidamus. Microsoft bought Nokia's phone business for £4.5bn ($7.2 bn) in April and announced it was dropping both the Nokia and Windows Phone brand names in October, in favour of just using Lumia. As part of the deal, Nokia is not allowed to use its branding on smartphones until 2016, and on feature phones until 2024 . He said: 'It is our goal to start licensing our brand in areas other than these two restricted areas, starting this quarter actually, in the areas we can and the areas where the brand is relevant.' Mr Haidamus did not go into detail what these areas are. It was a strategy used by Polaroid to bolster its failing brand over the past decade. Polaroid licenses its polarising technology to flat-screen TVs, for example, and its camera technology to tablets. Nokia Networks recently made a significant breakthrough in boosting battery life on phones, by increasing capacity by up to 49 per cent. The Finnish-based firm saw the results during its first live trial of a software known as High Speed Cell FACH on a 3G network. Nokia Networks has completed its first live testing of High Speed Cell FACH technology, with support from chip manufacturer Qualcomm. When using apps, phones send and receive small amounts of data, and Nokia's technology is designed to handle these so-called 'data packets' more efficiently. Nokia Networks recently made a significant breakthrough in boosting battery life on phones, by increasing capacity by up to 49 per cent. The Finnish-based firm saw the results during its first live trial of a software known as High Speed Cell FACH on a 3G network . This increases browsing speeds, power savings and response times . When running applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook, and Twitter, as well as browsing the web, sending emails and using services such as FaceTime, phones often send and receive small amounts of data, known as packets, of just a few hundreds of bytes or a few kbytes. High Speed Cell FACH is designed to handle these small data packets more efficiently than other software. This makes apps run faster, and also means they use less energy over the course of a day, for example. The technology additionally means operators can boost the speed and quality of their services, and support a higher number of phones on their networks. According to the recent Nokia tests, the 3G software boosts speeds and network response times by up to 65 per cent, and leads to up to 20 per cent faster browsing. Users also saw power savings of up to 49 per cent, which meant their battery life lasted almost twice as long - depending on which applications were being used. The lowest power saving was nine per cent. It also recently partnered with photography experts at C&A Marketing, which owns Ritz Camera stores and Calumet photography, to make Polaroid-branded cameras and accessories. After the restrictions on smartphone branding lifts, however, Nokia would be able to brand devices made by other manufacturers. These devices may also use technology being developed by Nokia's Network division.

'Some of today's press reports related to rumours about Microsoft dropping the Nokia brand have declared the death of the Nokia brand,' said Barry French, Executive Vice President, Marketing and Corporate Affairs. 'But, to paraphrase Mark Twain, "reports of our death are an exaggeration." 'Yes, we have sold our mobile phone business to Microsoft. But the Nokia of today is financially robust and has moved from weakness to strength. 'We have one of the world's best telecom infrastructure businesses, a global leader in the mapping and location business, a stellar intellectual property portfolio and some of the finest innovation capabilities of any company anywhere. 'Remember, Nokia started almost 150 years ago with just one paper mill. Over time we have repeatedly and successfully reinvented ourselves. 'We may not be the same Nokia of several years ago, but we are here, we are strong, and our brand is very much still alive. Not to mention kicking!' The recent name change by Microsoft brings an end to Nokia's brand being on mobile phones - a run that stretches back into the 1980s. It was first hinted at when Microsoft moved Nokia.com to be hosted on Microsoft's own site. Each country will gradually see branding changed from Nokia to Microsoft Lumia across various social media accounts, beginning with Nokia France. Nokia phones will likely elicit fond memories for many, though, with the Nokia 3310 in particular being one of the defining phones at the dawn of the cell phone age. First released towards the end of 2000, the phone went on to sell 126 million units world wide and continues to enjoy a cult status.

(CNN) -- The rapid thud-thud-thud of military choppers overhead on Wednesday was the first thing to catch the attention of the residents of Cuernavaca, a city south of Mexico City known as a retreat for city-dwellers and tourists alike. The helicopters landed near Punta Vista Hermosa, a majestic resort where condos sell for millions of Mexican pesos, and before long, seemingly hundreds of military personnel were on its grounds. A few hours later, a ferocious firefight broke out between the military and a cell of drug traffickers. "Things like this rarely happen here," said Yadira Abigail Flores Delgado, who works at a nearby private security firm. "I could hear the shots and the helicopters. It was a very ugly incident." The outcome, however, was sweet for the administration of President Felipe Calderon. In a strong blow to one of Mexico's most notorious drug cartels, Mexico's navy killed Arturo Beltran Leyva, head of the Beltran Leyva cartel and one of Mexico's three most wanted criminals. Six other cartel members and one naval petty officer also died in the raid. Three other people were arrested. The end of Beltran Leyva's reign at the helm of the violent cartel was hailed by Mexico and the United States as a major victory for Calderon's offensive against the cartels, a war that has claimed more than 14,000 lives since 2006. More than 7,300 people have been killed in drug-related violence this year, according to a tally by Mexico's El Universal newspaper. "This action represents a major achievement for the people and government of Mexico, and is a decisive blow against one of the most dangerous criminal organizations in Mexico," Calderon said, speaking from the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, Denmark. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said that its cooperation with Mexico played a role in Wednesday's action. "[Beltran Leyva's] death has dealt a crippling blow to one of the most violent cartels in the world, and it comes as a result of significant cooperation and information sharing between law enforcement in the United States and our courageous partners in Mexico," DEA Acting Administrator Michele M. Leonhart said in a written statement. Video footage of the condo where Beltran Leyva was staying revealed bullet-ridden walls. A plate of eggs and ham was set at the dinner table, which was adorned with two fruit bowls. A large baggie containing a white substance was nearby. On Thursday, authorities presented to the media two women and a man who were arrested in the raid. Their role with the cartel was not made clear. The women were identified as Catalina Castro Lopez and Gabriela Vega Perez. The man's name was not immediately released. It was believed that the raid was linked to another operation last week. On December 11, the navy got into a firefight in Cuernavaca with gunmen of the Beltran Leyva cartel. Three of the gunmen were killed and 11 were arrested, according to the navy. Calderon said Wednesday's operation "was the result of an intense intelligence effort by the Mexican navy." "We've never seen anything like this," Flores Delgado said. "Everyone is scared." The fear was palpable at a children's hospital right behind the complex where the drug lord was killed. Three military personnel posted themselves inside the hospital hours before the shooting started, saying only that they were in the middle of an operation, said Dr. Antonio Villa Montiel. The shooting started just after 8 p.m. and lasted for about an hour and a half, about 30 minutes of which were very intense, Villa Montiel said. "There was gunfire, machine gun fire and grenades, some of it very close to the hospital," he said. "Inside the hospital there was much stress, fear and anxiety. Some people even panicked." Three navy personnel were wounded by hand grenades, one fatally, the navy said. Navy 3rd Petty Officer Melquisedet Angulo Cordova died while being treated for his injuries, navy spokesman Adm. Jose Luis Vergara said. One of the other two navy men was in serious condition and the other was in stable condition, Vergara said. "It's a battle won, but by no means the war," said Tony Payan, associate professor of political science at the University of Texas-El Paso. The death of the leader of a major drug cartel is a victory for the government, but it could also spur more violence, said Payan, an expert on drug trafficking in Mexico. For such a high-level blow by the military, reprisal killings by the cartel are a possibility, Payan said. Violence could also flare from within the Beltran Leyva organization itself, as its lieutenants jockey for position in the inevitable reorganization. Finally, rivals -- and maybe even allies -- of the cartel may fight for a piece of the organization's lucrative smuggling routes, Payan said. Beltran Leyva and his organization rose in the Pacific state of Sinaloa, home to a powerful cartel of the same name. Beltran Leyva and his brothers initially were allied with the Sinaloa cartel, headed by Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman. A series of disputes over the past years, however, led the Beltran Leyva brothers to turn on El Chapo, or "shorty," and they have been most recently linked with Los Zetas, another violent cartel opposed to the Sinaloa group. One of the Beltran Leyva brothers, Alfredo, was arrested by Mexican authorities last year and remains imprisoned. Another brother, Hector, was indicted on drug trafficking charges out of New York and Washington. The slain brother, Arturo, was also named in those indictments. The Beltran Leyva cartel is known for air transportation expertise, Drug Enforcement Administration spokesman Michael Sanders said. An estimate from two years ago said the group smuggled 300 to 400 kilograms of cocaine monthly into the United States, Sanders said. The group is also known to smuggle black tar heroin. iReport: Ride-along with anti-drug task force . Earlier this month, the U.S. Treasury Department added Hector Beltran Leyva and other top cartel figures to a list of "specially designated narcotics traffickers," a move that freezes any assets they have under U.S. jurisdiction and prohibits people in the United States from conducting business with them. Arturo Beltran Leyva was already identified as a kingpin in May 2008. In the most recent addition, the U.S. government named 22 members of the Beltran Leyva organization and 10 related companies. Since taking office, Calderon has made fighting the drug cartels a priority. More than 40,000 troops have been deployed throughout the country to help small and often corrupt local forces. But it was the navy that made one of the biggest busts in the war on drugs. The reason may be because after years in the field, the army was not as reliable as a fresh force. "Calderon has finally understood two things: that the army is susceptible to corruption, and that the army is not sufficient," Payan said. Summarize this article.

Arturo Beltran Leyva was one of Mexico's three most wanted criminals . Beltran Leyva and his brothers rose in the Pacific state of Sinaloa . Six other cartel members and one naval petty officer also died in the raid .

Passage: In Manhattan, cockroaches are spreading the deadly "Strickler's disease" that is claiming hundreds of the city's children. Entomologist Susan Tyler uses genetic engineering to create what her colleague (and husband) Peter Mann and she call the Judas breed, a large insect that releases an enzyme which causes the roaches metabolism to speed up and starve themselves to death. It successfully kills off the disease. The released population was all-female and designed with a lifespan of only a few months, so that it would only last one generation. Three years later, a reverend is chased and dragged underground by a strange assailant. The only witness is Chuy, the "special" ward of an immigrant subway shoe-shiner named Manny. Two kids later sell a "weird bug" from the subway to Susan, which she performs test on, and realises is part of the Judas breed. Looking for more valuable specimens, the kids go down the tracks where they find a large egg sac and are then killed. Chuy also enters the church to find "Mr. Funny Shoes" and is abducted. Peter, CDC officer Josh and subway cop Leonard enter the maintenance tunnels to investigate but Peter and Leonard get separated from Josh, who is then killed trying to find his way back up. Susan is taken from the train platform by one of the creatures and brought into the tunnels. Manny also enters the tunnels in search of Chuy and comes across Susan, whom he rescues along with Peter and Leonard, before they barricade themselves in a train car. Susan surmises that the Judas' accelerated metabolism has allowed it to reproduce and that they have evolved to mimic their human prey. The group formulates a plan to get the car moving: Peter will switch the power on, and Manny will switch the tracks. Susan projects that the Judas will spread throughout the tunnels unless they are able to kill the single fertile male. Manny finds Chuy but is killed by the male Judas, so Susan goes in search of him but finds only Chuy. Leonard's injured leg starts bleeding heavily, so he causes a distraction from the others, and is killed. Peter finds a dumbwaiter and puts Susan and Chuy in it, but stays behind to destroy the breed for good. He gets chased into a room where hundreds are nesting, and blows them all up by setting fire to a loose gas pipe, before diving underwater to safety. The male Judas escapes the blast and goes after Chuy but is distracted by Susan, who has it chase her into the path of an oncoming train. The two make it to the surface, where they are reunited with Peter, who Susan had assumed died in the blast. Question: What disease are cockroaches spreading in New York? Answer:

Strickler's Disease

This question refers to the following information. Let us not, I beseech you sir, deceive ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned; we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne. In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope.… It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. Gentlemen may cry, Peace, Peace, but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! —Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775 Which of the following nineteenth-century groups most directly saw themselves as following in the tradition of Patrick Henry?

Question: Pablo likes to put together jigsaw puzzles. He can put together an average of 100 pieces per hour. He has eight puzzles with 300 pieces each and five puzzles with 500 pieces each. If Pablo only works on puzzles for a maximum of 7 hours each day, how many days will it take him to complete all of his puzzles? Answer:

First find how many pieces are total in each puzzle. 8 puzzles * 300 pieces each = <<8*300=2400>>2400 pieces. Next, 5 puzzles * 500 pieces each = <<5*500=2500>>2500 pieces. All of the puzzles have 2400 pieces + 2500 pieces = <<2400+2500=4900>>4900 pieces total. He will work a maximum of 7 hours each day * 100 pieces per hour = <<7*100=700>>700 pieces per day. So he will end up taking 4900 pieces total / 700 pieces per day = <<4900/700=7>>7 days total. The answer is 7.

By . Sam Webb . A woman has admitted neglecting a foal which has since been re-homed by Olympic dressage star Charlotte Dujardin. Lisa Fletcher, 47, was banned for keeping horses in October last year, after pleading guilty to three counts of neglecting a grey Arab stallion. But despite the ban, Fletcher, of Winchcombe, Gloucestershire, secretly kept two young horses in squalid conditions at another yard nearby. Olympic dressage champion Charlotte Dujardin with her rescued pony Santa, who was being kept in squalid conditions by Lisa Fletcher . A seven-month-old black foal and a bay colt - were severely emaciated when found by the RSPCA. Lisa Fletcher, (right) leaves South Gloucestershire Magistrates Court in Stroud. She could be imprisoned for 18 weeks . Stroud Magistrates' Court heard Fletcher's deception was uncovered when the RSPCA were alerted to the horses by a member of the public. Both horses - a seven-month-old black foal and a bay colt estimated to be about two years old - were severely emaciated. Fletcher today admitted two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to two horses and one count of breaching a disqualification order banning her from keeping the animals. A police officer says Santa has 'gone from rags to riches' after being rescued . Julia Hurrel, chair of the bench, told Fletcher the offences fell into the most serious category, level three, and required a minimum 18 week prison sentence. 'It comes into the third level and that's because of the length of the neglect and the fact that these horses were hidden from the RSPCA and your previous sentence,' Ms Hurrel said. Fletcher was banned from keeping horses for five years and sentenced to a community order at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on October 1 last year. While that case was under investigation, Fletcher acquired further horses, including the bay colt and black foal, which is now in the care of Ms Dujardin. On December 3, RSPCA inspector Suzi Smith was called to the DIY livery yard - where Fletcher was responsible for the full care of her horses - after the landlord raised concerns. Prosecuting, Rafe Turner said Ms Smith, who attended with a vet, found the horses stood in a yard with dirty water and an empty bucket by them. 'The foal was so emaciated that the body condition score was 0.5, not even one, where one is emaciated and five is obese. The colt had a body score of 1.5,' Mr Turner said. The animals were immediately seized and vets began intensive treatment to save them - with the foal requiring antibiotic injections twice a day for a severe lung infection. 'The period of suffering commenced within a very, very short space of time of the order actually being imposed by the court,' Mr Turner added. 'It is the most obvious and flagrant disregard of a court order in a very short space of time.' Mr Turner said the horses had little straw in their stables, which were strewn with faeces, and dirty water. In interview, Fletcher claimed she fed the horses a bale of hay every day from a local farmer but could not afford to give them more. Fletcher today admitted two counts of causing unnecessary suffering to two horses and one count of breaching a disqualification order banning her from keeping the animals . 'When asked about the condition of the black foal on December 3, she replied "probably a bit ribby",' Mr Turner said. 'That's entirely understating it.' Representing Fletcher, Nicola Colwill said her client, who lives with her father and brother, had tried to re-home the horses after the court order. 'She said she advertised, she asked around but couldn't find homes for them,' Ms Colwill said. 'She was desperately frightened of the situation coming to light because she knew she was in deep trouble when it did.' Speaking after the hearing, Inspector Smith said the black foal had experienced a 'rags to riches' story after being adopted by Ms Dujardin. (Left to right) Suzi Smith, RSPCA Inspector, Gareth Johnson, RSPCA Equine re-homing officer, and Charlotte Dujardin OBE, leading Santa, her rescued pony off of the RSPCA horse box . Big kiss: RSPCA inspector Suzi Smith with Santa, who is now thriving . 'The foal was very, very thin,' she said. 'The vet discovered he had a severe lung infection and was riddled with worms. I don't think he would have survived the week if we hadn't got the veterinary care he needed. 'Luckily he pulled through and has gone from rags to riches as he's been adopted by Olympic gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin who has named him Santa.' The other horse, called Frank, has since recovered and looking for a new home. Fletcher, who was released on unconditional bail, will be sentenced at Cheltenham Magistrates' Court on June 9.

Passage: The film opens as the shy, soft-spoken Joel Barish and the unrestrained free-spirit Clementine Kruczynski begin a relationship on a Long Island Rail Road train from Montauk, New York to Rockville Centre. They are almost immediately drawn to each other despite their different personalities, though both had felt the need to travel to Montauk that day. Although they do not realize it at the time, Joel and Clementine are, in fact, former lovers, now separated after having spent two years together. After a fight, Clementine had hired the New York City firm Lacuna, Inc. to erase all of her memories of their relationship. Upon discovering this from his friends Rob and Carrie, Joel was devastated and decided to undergo the procedure himself, a process that takes place while he sleeps. Much of the film subsequently takes place in Joel's mind during this memory erasure procedure. As his memories are erased, he tries to evade the erasing effects of the procedure by hiding Clementine in remote parts of his unconscious. Joel finds himself revisiting them in reverse. Upon seeing happier times of love with Clementine from earlier in their relationship, he struggles to preserve at least some memory of her and his love for her. Despite his efforts to either hide the memories or wake up and stop the process, the memories are slowly erased. He comes to the last remaining memory of Clementine, the day he first had met her at a beach house in Montauk. As this memory disintegrates around them, she tells him, "Meet me in Montauk." Separate, but related, story arcs, which revolve around the employees of Lacuna, are revealed during Joel's memory erasure. Patrick, one of the Lacuna technicians performing the erasure, uses Joel's memories and mannerisms to seduce Clementine. Mary, the Lacuna receptionist, is dating the other memory-erasing technician, Stan. During Joel's memory wipe, Mary discovers she had previously had an affair with Dr. Howard Mierzwiak, the married doctor who heads the company, and had agreed to have this erased from her memory when Dr. Mierzwiak's wife found out. On learning this, she asks Stan whether he knew about this, to which he claims that he didn't. Mary then quits her job and steals the company's records, and mails the two former clients their records from Lacuna. The film returns to the present, after Joel and Clementine have met aboard the train. They both come upon their Lacuna records later that day, and react with shock and bewilderment, because they have no clear memory of having known each other, let alone having had a relationship and having had their memories erased. Joel beckons Clementine to start over; Clementine initially resists, pointing out it could go the same way. Joel accepts this, and they decide to attempt a relationship anyway, starting their life together anew. Question: What did Clementine hire Lacuna to do? Answer:

Erase her memories

Question: In a class of 30 students, the teacher polls the students on their favorite subject. 1/5 of the students like Math, and 1/3 like English. 1/7 of the remaining students like Science. The rest don’t have a favorite subject. How many students don’t have a favorite subject? Answer:

30 x 1/5 = <<30*1/5=6>>6 students like Math. 30 x 1/3 = <<30*1/3=10>>10 students like English. So, 6 + 10 = <<6+10=16>>16 students like either Math or English. Thus, 30 - 16 = <<30-16=14>>14 students neither like Math nor English. Since 1/7 of the remaining like Science, therefore 14 x 1/7 = <<14*1/7=2>>2 students like Science. Hence, 14 - 2 = <<14-2=12>>12 students neither likes the 3 subjects. The answer is 12.

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Two doctors who treated Anna Nicole Smith in the months before her death and her lawyer-boyfriend go on trial Wednesday on charges they illegally conspired to provide the actress with drugs. Steven Sadow, the lead lawyer for Howard K. Stern, said the defense team was "very pleased" with the jury of six men and six women who were sworn in Tuesday afternoon. Opening statements were scheduled for Wednesday morning. Lawyers predicted the trial in Los Angeles County Superior Court could last up to three months. Potential jurors were asked more than 100 questions, including personal questions about their prescription drug use. Smith's boyfriend Stern, along with Drs. Khristine Eroshevich and Sandeep Kapoor, face 23 felony charges, including three counts of conspiracy to dispense and administer controlled substances to a known addict. The three also are accused of conspiring to use false names to obtain drugs for Smith, a practice defense attorneys have argued was intended to protect the celebrity's privacy. Smith died February 8, 2007, from what a Florida medical examiner ruled was "acute combined drug intoxication." Judge Robert Perry dismissed several jurors because of what he called "language problems" or because they expressed opinions suggesting they had already concluded guilt in the case. The judge described one juror as "dull" and predicted she would become a problem if allowed on the jury. Judge Perry ruled at the end of a 13-day preliminary hearing last fall that there was probable cause to try Stern and the two doctors for involvement in an alleged conspiracy to provide drugs to a known addict. "Evidence in the record strongly suggests she was an addict," he said. Perry said "there was a widespread and ongoing effort" to obtain drugs for Smith, whom he characterized as a "strong-willed person" intent on getting drugs. The doctors may have been "blinded by the celebrity of their patient," Perry said. A defense lawyer said the case could have a chilling effect on doctors who treat patients for pain, since the doctors could be held criminally liable if their prescriptions are deemed excessive. Witnesses described Smith as weak and "zombie-like" much of the time in the months after September 11, 2006, when her 20-year-old son died in the Bahamas hospital room where she was recovering from the birth of her daughter. Sadow argued that Stern should not be charged because he did not know his companion was an addict or that it was illegal to obtain medication with a prescription written out to a false name. "He's being charged here with doctor-related activities, which doctors have specific knowledge of and he's just a layperson," Sadow told the judge. Prosecution witnesses outlined evidence that the doctors wrote many prescriptions using several names, including Stern's, for drugs intended for Smith. "One of their theories is that the mere prescribing of medications using a pseudonym is a crime and it's rebutted by the fact that some of the most respected hospitals in this city use this practice to protect the privacy of some of their celebrity patients," Eroshevich defense lawyer Adam Braun said. Prosecutors argued that Stern used the false names to get double doses of dangerous drugs to feed the addiction of the former Playboy model and reality TV star. Kapoor's lawyer said prosecutors could make it difficult for California doctors to treat their patients for pain. "If this prosecution is successful, you can all plan to call the D.A. office every time you ask your doctor for a prescription for pain, because that's going to be the standard," attorney Ellyn Garafalo said. Perry agreed with Braun's argument that Eroshevich, a psychiatrist, "deeply cared for Anna Nicole Smith and was well intentioned" with her treatment. "I made that observation," the judge said.

(CNN) -- Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was nearing the tomb of Pakistan's founding father when blasts struck near her convoy in Karachi, Pakistan, killing at least 124 people. Fire erupts from a car in front of the vehicle carrying former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto. Mohammed Ali Jinnah, who led Pakistan to independence and championed equal rights, stood for democracy and human rights. That Bhutto chose to visit his grave was an important symbolic move, said Akbar Ahmed, former Pakistani ambassador to the United Kingdom. "The fact that she went to to Mr. Jinnah's mausoleum would send a message to Pakistanis ... that Jinnah remains the symbol of all Pakistan," he said. "The fact that she selects Jinnah reemphasizes that she is taking a mainstream position in Pakistan politics." She had planned to stop and pray at the tomb, then deliver a speech to her supporters. The streets were packed with people watching her motorcade pass. Bhutto and those with her were not injured in the attacks, and her companions said she reached her family home safely. The windshield of the vehicle she was riding in was smashed by the blasts, CNN's Dan Rivers said, and a vehicle that was following hers was totally burned out. The scene, he said, was "absolutely horrendous," with blood literally running in streams down the street. Watch how Bhutto escaped uninjured » . The blasts confirmed fears of instability linked to her return, which came after she reached a controversial agreement with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf that will allow her to seek re-election as prime minister. Many were bitterly opposed to that deal. "This is what everyone feared," Rivers said. Ahmed said Musharraf, who is waiting to see if the Supreme Court confirm his eligibility as president, will most likely take this opportunity to strengthen his position. "He will say, 'I told you so, He will tell Washington I told you so. He will tell Benazir Bhutto I told you so. This is not the time for you to come back, stay out let me handle the administration, let me be the strong man,' " Ahmed said. Bhutto, 54, returned to the country Thursday after eight years of self-imposed exile. Earlier this month, Musharraf's office announced he had signed a "reconciliation ordinance" that dropped outstanding corruption charges against Bhutto and a number of other politicians. See a timeline of Bhutto's life in politics » . Officials had warned Bhutto to delay her return because there were reports that some "extremist elements were bent on hurting her, because she was seen as coming with an American agenda," said Tariq Azim Khan, Pakistan's information minister. It's unclear who was behind the blasts. Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party considers the incident an assassination attempt against her, officials said. "The primary suspects, of course, are the al Qaeda-Taliban alliances because they have named her as a primary target. She stands for democracy, she stands for a pro-Western position in Pakistan politics and, of course, her gender," Ahmed said. "At the same time, don't forget there's a history of bad blood between her party and the intelligence services." Bhutto told CNN just before returning to her homeland that she was aware of the risks and knew some people wished her harm, but "I'm prepared to take them." She did, however, tell CNN on Wednesday that she wrote Musharraf a letter naming those she feared would make an attempt on her life. Threats against her, she said, were made by "certain people who have gained a lot through dictatorship. They have presided over the rise of extremism, they have created safe havens in the tribal areas of Pakistan for the Taliban and other militants and they fear my return." Bhutto, daughter of deposed Pakistani Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto -- served as prime minister from 1988 until 1990, when her government was dismissed amid corruption allegations that she denied. Her father, who founded the PPP, was executed in 1979. Bhutto returned to power in 1993, but again her government was dismissed amid corruption allegations in 1996. E-mail to a friend .

Question: Bonnie and Samuel went to the market together. Bonnie bought 8 apples. Samuel bought 20 more apples than Bonnie. Samuel then ate half of them and used 1/7 of them to make apple pie. How many apples does Samuel have left? Answer:

Samuel bought 20+8 = <<20+8=28>>28 apples. Samuel ate 28/2 = <<28/2=14>>14 apples. Samuel used 28/7 = <<28/7=4>>4 to make apple pie. Samuel has 28-14-4 = <<28-14-4=10>>10 apples left. The answer is 10.

(CNN) -- Are you reading this article on your cell phone or tablet? These days, that makes you pretty normal, especially if you're American, according to a recent report from comScore. According to comScore, which tracks these sort of things, 55% of the 234 million cell phone subscribers in the U.S. are getting at least some of their media diet via mobile devices. Only Japan and the UK had higher levels of mobile media usage. People in the United States increasingly purchase more than one device to help them consume all this mobile content. According to comScore, 14% of U.S. cell phone subscribers also own a tablet -- the highest percentage in any of the countries comScore examined. In contrast, fewer than 5% of Japanese mobile subscribers also own a tablet. "In less than two years, nearly 40 million tablets were in use among mobile subscribers in the U.S., outpacing smartphones -- which took seven years to achieve the same level of adoption," comScore noted. Driving this sharp growth was the expanded array of Android tablet options, especially Amazon's Kindle Fire, released in late 2011. Also, the iPad 2 release yielded another spike in tablet ownership. Does this mean people are shifting their media experience away from computers and smartphones -- or broadcast and print media -- to tablets? Not necessarily. Here's what comScore has to say on the matter: "As tablets gain popularity among users, they are not replacing mobile phones or computers. Rather, it would seem that tablets are supplementing a multi-device diet that is increasingly becoming the norm among consumers. ... While smartphones may have provided consumers with a first taste of mobile Internet connectivity, tablets have furthered the rise of the 'digital omnivore' -- consumers who now go about their days engaging seamlessly through multiple online touchpoints." Seamlessly? Well, sort of. A "seamless" cross-device media experience implies that you can easily pick up where you left off when switching devices. This is the case when reading Kindle e-books, whether via the Kindle smartphone or tablet app, on a Kindle e-reader or Kindle Fire tablet, or on a computer. Similarly, when you stream a Netflix movie to your TV or computer, and pause it, you can resume watching it from the same point via the Netflix app for mobile devices. But not all services work this well. If I'm watching a short film on the new Vimeo app for Android phones, pause it, put down my phone and turn on my TV, bring up my Vimeo account (I use AppleTV for streaming media), and select the movie I'd paused... it takes me back to the start of the movie. It doesn't remember where I stopped watching. Gamers often experience similar frustration when they try to continue a game in progress on a different device. How well you can sync a game -- if at all -- depends on the game and the devices involved. Sometimes that experience is seamless. Sometimes not so much. And all those long-form articles you want to read? Features like "Reading List" in Apple's Safari browser for computers and mobile devices -- or third-party services such as Instapaper -- allow you to sync a list of articles to read across devices. But they don't let you just pick up where you left off in the midst of a 8,000-word Harper's feature story. And they may not support offline reading. Syncing your content across multiple devices is a major technical challenge which will take time to solve. But so far, that kind of syncing isn't a big concern for most consumers. More commonly, people tend to use different devices to access content at different times of day or in different settings. For instance, comScore's analysis of traffic to news websites found that from about 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on a typical weekday, computers are the leading source of site traffic. Tablet traffic to news sites peaks in the evening. On weekends, however, tablet traffic to news sites peaks in the morning. Simultaneous use of multiple devices has already become major part of how we experience media. Last October, Nielsen found that 40% of people who own a smartphone or tablet use those mobile devices while watching TV. What do people do on their smartphones and tablets while watching TV? According to Nielsen, "e-mail was the top activity for both men and women during television programming and commercial breaks. In addition, women reported engaging in social networking more than men, while men checked sports scores more often." The opinions expressed in this post are solely those of Amy Gahran. Summarize this article.

More than half of cell phone owners get some of their media on mobile devices . comScore finds 47% of all U.S. cell phone owners currently use apps . 14% of U.S. cell phone subscribers also own a tablet, highest in any country .

Question: John and Yasmin's dad is named Gabriel. If John has twice the number of children that her sister has and Gabriel has six grandkids, how many children does Yasmin have? Answer:

We don't know Yasmin's number of children yet, but let's represent it as Y. If John has twice the number of children Yasmin has, then John has 2*Y = 2Y kids If Gabriel has 6 grandkids between John's and Yasmin's children, then we can represent this as 6 = 2Y + Y If we solve the latest equation then we learn that 6=3Y Given that Y represents how many kids Yasmin has, then solving for Y we know that Y=6/3 or Y=2 kids The answer is 2.

Vice President Joe Biden called on Native American leaders to continue fighting what he called an "epidemic" of domestic violence on tribal lands and throughout the United States. Biden tailored the message of the White House's "It's On Us" campaign against sexual assault to address the disproportionately high rate of domestic violence in Native American communities, emphasizing the need for bystander intervention and community action during the White House Tribal Nations Conference. Native American women face the highest rate of domestic violence and abuse in the U.S. "It's not about vigilantism, it's about intervening," Biden said. "To me it's the definition of manhood. It's not standing by and saying, 'Well, it's a family affair.'" Biden's remarks come as tribal authorities prepare to take on new authority in March 2015 to prosecute non-Native Americans who perpetrate domestic violence on tribal lands, which was included in the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act last year. The Vice President emphasized that it's now up to tribal governments to use their new authority to "enforce the law, prosecute and stand for the women who have for too long endured not just injustice, but indifference." Attorney General Eric Holder, who spoke after Biden at the conference, said already three tribes are part of a pilot program this year that has charged more than 20 non-Indians in domestic violence cases and touted increased collaboration between federal officials and tribal authorities. Biden spoke passionately about domestic violence and even reenacted calls he said he heard while visiting the National Domestic Violence Hotline. "The most horrific prison on earth is the four walls of an abused woman's home. And far too many Native American women, for far too many, that's a daily reality," Biden said. "I apologize for it taking so long, so many women damaged in the meantime." Summarize this article.

Long periods of darkness have traditionally been associated with depression. But now a study says that high levels of sunshine - at least in the short term - are linked to higher suicide rates. While a cause is not known, it's thought that the light could interact with the mood-altering neurotransmitter serotonin, which affects the mood of both humans and animals. Researchers from the University of Vienna have found a correlation between sunshine hours and suicide rates. They found suicides increased when a day was particularly sunny (stock image shown). However if the preceding 14 to 60 days were sunny the rate dropped . The research from the University of Vienna, reported by LiveScience, appears in the journal JAMA Psychiatry. They looked at sunshine hours and suicide rates in Austria from 1 January 1970 to 6 May 2010. Sunshine hours were calculated from 86 meteorological stations. The study looked at more than 69,000 suicides over the 40 years. They found that, on each day studied, sunshine hours and the number of suicides were highly correlated. Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, is a neurotransmitter - a chemical substance that transmits nerve impulses across the space between nerve cells or neurons. It plays an important part in the regulation of learning, mood, sleep and helps control blood vessels. It has also been linked to anxiety, migraine, vomiting and appetite. ‘Sunshine on the day of suicide and up to 10 days prior to suicide seems to facilitate suicide,’ the researchers write. However, prolonged sunshine 14 to 60 days prior to a given day was found to reduce the rate. The researchers also found a stronger link between suicide rates among women and sunshine hours. For men, on the other hand, the link between lower suicide rates after prolonged sunshine was stronger. The exact reason for the results of the study is not known, but previous studies have shown that light interacts with serotonin, a neurotransmitter in humans and animals that affects mood. This means exposure to sunlight could alter serotonin levels and lead to erratic behaviour and emotions. The researchers also found a stronger link between suicide rates among women and sunshine hours. For men, on the other hand, the link between lower suicide rates after prolonged sunshine was stronger.Sunlight is thought to alter levels of serotonin, which is known to affect peoples' moods (stock image shown) Summarize this article.

Question: Kevin has a tree growing in his garden that is currently 180 inches tall. That is 50% taller than it was when he planted it there. How tall was the tree, in feet, then? Answer:

Since it is 50% taller, then 180 inches is 100% + 50% = 150% of its height then. So each 1% is equal to 180/150 = <<180/150=1.2>>1.2 inches. So, its height then was 1.2 x 100% = 120 inches. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, then 120 inches is equal to 120/12 = <<120/12=10>>10 feet. The answer is 10.

Passage: The play is set in the American West. Blanco Posnet, a local drunk and reprobate, is brought before the court accused of stealing a horse belonging to the Sheriff. He been found walking along a road out of town after having left his brother's house in the early hours of the morning. The same night the horse had gone missing from his brother's stable. His accusers assume he has sold or concealed the horse. Blanco says they can't convict him without evidence that he ever had the horse. He also says he was owed some jewellery belonging to his mother, which had been bequeathed to him, but his brother had refused to hand it over. Even if he did take the horse he did so as payment for the debt his brother owed. Unfortunately he was unaware that the horse was merely being stabled by his brother, but belonged to the Sheriff. His brother, a reformed drunkard who is now a church Deacon, lectures Blanco on morality and judgement, but Blanco ridicules his brother's view of God. Feemy, the local prostitute, is called to witness. She says that she saw Blanco riding off on the horse. Blanco says that her word cannot be trusted, as she is a woman of low character and she admits was drunk at the time; in any case she has a grudge against him because - unlike members of the jury he can name - he had no interest in her services. The jury are outraged and strongly inclined to convict Blanco. At this point news arrives that the horse has been found. A woman had used it to take her sick child to the nearest doctor. The woman is brought to the court. She says she was given the horse by a man who was about to pass her on it on the road as she was carrying her dying child. She had pleaded with the man to allow her to take the horse. The judge asks her to name the man, but she absolutely denies that Blanco was the man who gave her the horse. She says that the man who did give it to her evidently did so in the knowledge that on foot he would probably be caught and could be hanged. It is clear to everyone that Blanco gave her the horse, but she cannot bring herself to name him if it will mean his conviction and inevitable hanging. Feemy takes the stand again and says she was lying about having seen Blanco. She never saw him on the horse. Blanco is released. He offers to marry Feemy in thanks for what she did, but she rejects him. Blanco says he'll buy drinks for everyone in the saloon and offers to shake Feemy's hand. She accepts. Question: Who said she saw Blanco riding off on the horse? Answer:

Feemy

Passage: In a speech before the Polish diet Demetrius asserts his claim to the throne of the czars. He hopes for assistance from Poland. He declares that he is the son of Ivan the Terrible and was not, as reputed, murdered in 1591 as a child, but raised in a cloister and that he afterward was in the service of the Prince of Sendomir. He asserts that he is Czar Demetrius. His impressive speech convinces both the diet and the king. Although a formal resolution is not passed by the diet because of a veto by Prince Sapiehas, Poland goes into battle against Moscow. The Poles desire to oust Boris Godunov with the help of the upstart Demetrius. The forceful spirit behind the attempt is Demetrius' fiancĂŠe Marina, Mnischek's daughter and Czar Ivan's widow. The latter has been banned to a cloister by Godunov and has for years been grieving for her allegedly murdered son when she receives the news that Demetrius is alive, after all. Schiller only indicated the course of the further action. Boris hears about the successes of Demetrius and commits suicide with poison. The new czar is a benevolent ruler until he discovers that his claim to the throne is not legitimate. He is not Ivan's son, but was merely used as a tool by the faction of Godunov opponents. When his mother Marfa is supposed to provide identification, she does not recognize him. Despite the lacking legitimation, Demetrius requests her to recognize him as her son. But Marfa follows her conscience and refuses. Question: What does Boris do when he hears of the success of Demetrius? Answer:

commits suicide

Passage: Former Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback and rookie FBI Agent Johnny Utah is assigned to assist experienced agent and veteran Angelo Pappas in investigating a string of bank robberies by the "Ex-Presidents", a gang of robbers who wear face-masks depicting former US presidents Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, Lyndon B. Johnson, and Jimmy Carter to disguise their true identities. They raid only the cash drawers in the banks that they rob—never going for the vault—and are out within 90 seconds. Pursuing Pappas' theory that the criminals are surfers, Utah goes undercover to infiltrate the surfing community. He concocts a story to persuade orphaned surfer Tyler Endicott to teach him to surf, she having saved him from drowning. Through her he meets Bodhi, the charismatic leader of a gang of surfers comprising Roach, Grommet, and Nathaniel. The group are initially wary of Utah, but accept him when Bodhi recognizes him as the former college football star. As he masters the art of surfing, Utah finds himself increasingly drawn to the surfers' adrenaline-charged lifestyle, Bodhi's philosophies, and Tyler. Following a clue retrieved by analyzing toxins found in the hair of one of the bank robbers, Utah and Pappas lead an FBI raid on another gang of surfers. Despite their criminal records, these surfers turn out to not be the Ex-Presidents and the raid inadvertently ruins a DEA undercover operation. Watching Bodhi's group surfing, Utah begins to suspect that they are the "Ex-Presidents," noting how close a group they are and the way one of them moons everyone in the same manner one of the robbers does when leaving a bank. Utah and Pappas stake out a bank and the Ex-Presidents appear. Wearing a Reagan mask, Bodhi leads Utah on a furious foot chase through the neighborhood, which ends when Utah, by jumping into an aqueduct, causes an old knee injury to flare up again. Despite having a clear shot at Bodhi, Utah does not shoot and Bodhi escapes. At a campfire that night, it is confirmed that Bodhi and his gang are the Ex-Presidents. Shortly afterwards, Bodhi aggressively recruits Utah into going skydiving with the group and he accepts. After the jump, Bodhi reveals that he knows Utah is an FBI agent and has arranged for his friend Rosie, a non-surfing thug, to hold Tyler hostage. Utah is thus blackmailed into participating in the Ex-Presidents last bank robbery of the summer. As a result, Grommet, along with an off-duty police officer and a security guard—who both try to stop the robbery—are killed. Angered by Grommet's death, Bodhi knocks Utah out and leaves him at the scene. Defying their senior officer who arrests Utah for armed robbery, Pappas and Utah go to the airport where Bodhi, Roach, and Nathaniel are about to leave for Mexico. During a shootout, Pappas and Nathaniel are killed, and Roach is seriously wounded. With Roach aboard, Bodhi forces Utah onto the plane at gunpoint. Once airborne and over their intended drop zone, Bodhi and Roach put on their parachutes and jump from the plane, leaving Utah to take the blame again. With no other parachutes available, Utah jumps from the plane with Bodhi's gun and intercepts him before he lands. After landing safely, Utah's knee gives out again, allowing Bodhi to escape Utah's grasp. Bodhi meets with Rosie and releases Tyler who reunites with Utah. Roach dies of his wounds and Bodhi and Rosie leave with the money. Nine months later, Utah tracks Bodhi at Bells Beach in Victoria, Australia, where a record storm is producing lethal waves. This is an event Bodhi had talked about experiencing, calling it the "50-Year Storm." Utah attempts to bring Bodhi into custody, but Bodhi refuses. During a brawl in the surf, Utah manages to handcuff himself to Bodhi. Bodhi begs Utah to release him so he can ride the once-in-a-lifetime wave. Knowing Bodhi will not come back alive, Utah releases him, bids him farewell and sees him step towards the wave. While the authorities watch Bodhi surf to his death, Utah walks away, throwing his FBI badge into the ocean. Question: Who held Tyler hostage? Answer:

Rosie.

Passage: The film opens with a scene of newspapers and news broadcasts describing an orphanage which was burned down, resulting in several deaths. It then turns to seven friends as they start out on a road trip to Las Vegas, with Phil (JoJo Wright) recording the trip for his girlfriend Julia. The group hits a road block en route to their destination, prompting them to take a detour that results in several flat tires. The group decides that the women will remain behind to watch the truck while the men go to look for help. The men eventually come across a rest-stop motel that sells tires, introducing themselves to the gas attendant Brad and the shop owner Steve (Braxton Davis) and Norah (Dallas Lovato). Steve offers to not only fix the truck and pick up the girls, but to provide free alcoholic drinks, in addition to letting the group stay at the neighboring motel for the night. One of the group members, Todd (Dustin Harnish), is originally hesitant about the proposition, but eventually agrees to it. After a wild night of drinking and partying, the group falls asleep in the motel. The group eventually wakes up the next morning/afternoon. At first everything appears normal, but it soon becomes clear that Steve and his cohorts are nowhere to be found on the premises. None of the friends remembers much about what happened the previous night. And four of the friends (Jordan, Brandy, Ryan, Andy) wake up realizing they're tied up or otherwise physically incapacitated. Jordan is tied up to a chair in the bathroom next to the bathtub, with a bucket on his arm and an electric wire tied to his hand. Brandy is tied up in the bathtub. Ryan is tied to a chair in his room, and Anna is tied up on the bed, at her hands and her feet. At first the friends believe this to be some sort of bad joke, but when Todd and Claire witness Phil being intentionally decapitated by Brad, it becomes clear that Steve, Brad, Norah and Chloe are actually cruel, sadistic sociopaths, (who call themselves "the helpers") intent on torturing and murdering the group. Claire (Kristen Quintrall) and Todd are locked in their motel room and are forced to watch while their friends get murdered one by one. The helpers go into Anna and Ryan's room and reveal that each end of Anna's body is chained to a car, and they will drive the cars and rip her body in half. They do so, while Ryan is tied up and unable to stop them. They then go into Jordan and Brandy's room and explain that the wire attached to Jordan's arm will be lowered into the water in the bathtub by placing rocks in the bucket hanging from his arm, electrocuting Brandy. Brandy is presumed to be killed (actually just knocked out) from being electrocuted four times, while Jordan's arm with the wire was forcibly placed in the water. The men remove Brandy from the tub and leave Jordan with Norah. Norah taunts Jordan, who then pushes Norah into the tub and electrocutes her with the wire, killing her. He then checks to see if Brandy is still alive and after reviving her, they both escape. Todd and Claire also manage to successfully escape from their room. However, Todd and Claire are caught while attempting to flee and are brought back to the complex. The helpers bring out Ryan (still tied to the chair) and shoot him dead in front of the others, and then chain Claire to the cars as they did to Anna, threatening to rip her body in half, unless she admits that her father was the abusive owner of an orphanage. She admits that her father was indeed the owner of an orphanage. It's eventually revealed that the three murderers used to live in an orphanage run by Claire's father where they were terribly abused and beaten, with the murderers intentionally setting the group up to come by the motel. They found the motel/gas station, killed the employees, and took it over. Then they placed road detour signs on the road, and placed sharp objects to puncture the cars tires. It is also revealed that before they left the orphanage, they burned it down, as the news described in the opening scene of the movie. Hence, the murderers main motive for their barbarism is revenge against Claire's father. They knew that the group was going on a road trip because Phil's girlfriend, Julia, was one of them. Jordan, Brandy, Todd, and Claire manage to escape. The film ends with a scene "six months later" where "the helpers" are working at another gas station, asking their customers if they need any help. Question: How does Norah die? Answer:

She is electrocuted.

B. The physician

Posters for the hit musical Spamalot jokingly announce that it was ‘lovingly ripped off from the motion picture Monty Python and the Holy Grail’. But there’s at least one man who’s unlikely to find that statement very funny. He is Mark Forstater, who produced the original 1975 film and is now suing the Monty Python team for a share of the profits from the hugely successful stage spin-off. Reunited: Michael Palin, Eric Idle and Terry Jones all gave evidence to the High Court . Mr Forstater, 69, described yesterday . as the ‘seventh Python’, claims he was promised an equal share of all . Holy Grail merchandising and off-shoots – along with stars Michael . Palin, Eric Idle, John Cleese, Terry Jones, Terry Gilliam and Graham . Chapman. Spamalot has already grossed more than £110million during a four-year stint on Broadway. Yesterday, a judge at London’s High . Court heard how Mr Forstater, of Queens Park, West London, was in . financial difficulties having been declared bankrupt. His lawyer Tom . Weisselberg said the row broke out after the ‘huge international . commercial success of Spamalot,’ which is currently running in the West . End. He said that for financial purposes, Mr Forstater should be treated as ‘the seventh Python’. The Palace Theatre in London, where Spamalot! premiered in 2006 . He told Mr Justice Norris: ‘This claim . arises out of a dispute regarding profit-sharing of revenues from the . British comedy film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. ‘Regrettably, the parties have not . been able to resolve the dispute. Mr Forstater is in difficult financial . circumstances and has been forced to bring these proceedings.’ He said the claim concerns the . interpretation of a profit-sharing agreement signed by Mr Forstater with . the Pythons’ company back in 1974, the year before the Holy Grail film . was released. The six Pythons: The comedy pioneers took on the legend of King Arthur in the 1975 film, which descended into typical Python madness within approximately 30 seconds . Victorious: Film producer Mark Forstater has won his High Court battle over royalties for the Monty Python spin-off musical Spamalot . Mr Forstater claims he signed an agreement to allow him one seventh of the Pythons’ share of any merchandising and spin-offs. The surviving Pythons claim this sum . was only ever 1/14. Exactly how much Mr Forstater is claiming was not . stated in court, but after the hearing he told the Mail he was seeking a . ‘ball-park figure’ of £250,000. Mr Weisselberg added: ‘We say it is . common ground that Mr Forstater was entitled to a share in the . merchandising and spin-off from the film. The dispute relates to the . extent of that entitlement. ‘The outrage expressed by a number of . Pythons in their witness statements as to the suggestion that Mr . Forstater was to be treated as the seventh Python is, with respect to . them, misguided.’ Jones, 70, Palin and Idle, both 69, . attended the start of the five-day hearing yesterday. They are expected . to give evidence next week. However, Cleese, 73, who lives in Monaco, . and Gilliam, 72, who is filming in Romania, will not appear. Written by . Idle, Spamalot opened on Broadway in February 2005 and moved to the West . End the following year. The sell-out musical, a comic take on the story . of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table, has now returned for . another run in London. Monty Python's Spamalot! The play is inspired by the Holy Grail film from 1975 . Palin is reported as referring to the . money-spinning musical, which includes the hit number Always Look On The . Bright Side Of Life, as his ‘pension plan’. Forstater is also claiming entitlement to money from the film company Freeway Cam which owns the copyright to the Holy Grail. The hearing continues.

Jonathan Evans, 50, has been put on the Sex Offender Register after he thrust his crotch in a woman's face, pictured at Manchester Crown Court . A married father-of-two has been put on the Sex Offender Register after he thrust his crotch in a woman's face and then forcefully groped her bottom at a crowded pub. Former Royal Navy weapons expert Jonathan Evans, 50, asked a woman to bend down to pick up a train ticket, then grabbed her head and simulated oral sex in front of onlookers. On the same evening, the Barnardo's volunteer groped the woman's bottom while she was at the bar of a Wetherspoons pub in Manchester and rammed his finger through her skirt. He has been handed a three-year community order and must pay a £60 victim surcharge after being found guilty of two counts of sexual assault in an earlier trial at Manchester Crown Court. The victim did not complain on the night of the assault but subsequently went to police and described feeling 'stupid, gullible and worthless.' In an interview the woman said: 'He grabbed the back of my head by the hair and pushed my face in his private parts and started moving. I couldn't get up. 'I was probably only down there a couple of seconds but it felt a lot longer. I was angry and embarrassed and ashamed. He'd done it front of people, and just the fact he thought it was alright to do that. I remember being angry at myself for being upset.' Prosecutor Gavin Howie told the court how the trouble started on a night out in July 2013 when Evans got drunk and picked on the woman at Wetherspoons Picadilly while waiting to get a train home. He said: 'At some point the defendant appears to have indicated a ticket on the floor. He invited her to pick it up. She did bend to pick it up where Mr Evans took hold of the back of her head, thrust his groin in her face and simulated oral sex with her. 'She describes it as humiliating and degrading. There was another incident a short while he put his hand behind her. He accepts there was some boisterous horseplay and the first incident was a laddish prank.' Describing the second attack the woman said: 'I remember he did it with a lot of force and that it was painful. It sounds really stupid, but he did it quite fast and in exactly the right place - I remember thinking, how did he know it was there? 'I was blaming myself for being stupid and decided to get really, really drunk, and it was more or less the day after I was just, really, really upset.' He has been handed a three-year community order and must pay a £60 victim surcharge after being found guilty of two counts of sexual assault at an earlier trial at Manchester Crown Court . Evans, who was sacked by Barnardos after being convicted, continues to protest his innocence, saying the first incident was 'horseplay', and claiming the second didn't happen. The father from Ramsbottom, near Bury sobbed as a female judge told him he had escaped jail 'by a whisker' Judge Lindsey Kushner QC told him: 'I have had so many references and letters of support and I don't think I have had a trial with so many. 'They say whatever you are accused of doesn't fit the man they know. All these people say what you were accused of is out of character. But as we do now know: there is another side to Jonathan Evans, which they have not born witness to. 'I can't emphasise enough that when people like you indulge in such conduct, even if you regard it as mild or funny, it is up to the recipient to decide whether that conduct is acceptable or not. The problem is that in this situation it is often the recipient that feels they are in the wrong if they are made to feel uncomfortable. 'They have to think, 'am I making a fuss about nothing?' they are made to feel it is their fault because they are lacking a sense of humour and failing to see the funny side. 'When I came to this courtroom I came ready and prepared to send you to prison. I can do so without losing one minute's sleep as a result. 'Although I think you probably deserve a prison sentence I'm going to err on the side of hopefully instilling some rehabilitation. I think this has really hit you hard, because you are egotistical. I think you need to show you are a worthy man and you are not. You have escaped prison by a whisker.' Evans had called character witnesses including a BA pilot, research scientist and a teacher to testify he was a 'pillar of their community' and a 'really decent man'. In court the father-of-two showed jurors the 'forward thrusting motion' he used to play his prank. But he insisted: 'It was a stupid, laddish, impulsive thing - I went 'wahey' and I may well have put my hand on her head or her neck, I certainly didn't grab her hair. I lurched forward towards her face. 'It was not meant in any way as a sexual assault - I would never do that. It was meant as a stupid prank with someone I thought would have just laughed it off. I bitterly regret what I did. I'm sorry for what I did and I'm sorry that I have caused my poor wife to suffer.' Summarize this article.

Passage: The beginning of the book establishes the framework in which a 17th-century gentleman, mourning the death of his beloved, Lady Mirdath, is given a vision of a far-distant future where their souls will be re-united, and sees the world of that time through the eyes of a future incarnation. The language and style used are intended to resemble that of the 17th century, though the prose has features characteristic of no period whatsoever: the almost-complete lack of dialogue and proper names, for example. Critic Ian Bell has suggested that John Milton's epic poem "Paradise Lost" (1667) is probably a partial literary inspiration for Hodgson's novel, especially due to the hellish visions of sombre intensity which mark both works, and other similarities including the use of massive structures (the Temple of Pandemonium in Milton and the Last Redoubt in The Night Land). Once into the book, the 17th century framing is mostly inconsequential. Instead, the story focuses on the future. The Sun has gone out and the Earth is lit only by the glow of residual vulcanism. The last few millions of the human race are gathered together in a gigantic metal pyramid, nearly eight miles high – the Last Redoubt, under siege from unknown forces and Powers outside in the dark. These are held back by a shield known as the "air clog", powered from a subterranean energy source called the "Earth Current". For millennia, vast living shapes—the Watchers—have waited in the darkness near the pyramid. It is thought they are waiting for the inevitable time when the Circle's power finally weakens and dies. Other living things have been seen in the darkness beyond, some of unknown origins, and others that may once have been human. To leave the protection of the Circle means almost certain death, or worse an ultimate destruction of the soul. As the story commences, the narrator establishes mind contact with an inhabitant of another, forgotten Lesser Redoubt. First one expedition sets off to succour the inhabitants of the Lesser Redoubt, whose own Earth Current has been exhausted, only to meet with disaster. After that, the narrator sets off alone into the darkness to find the girl he has made contact with, knowing now that she is the reincarnation of his past love. At the conclusion of the adventure, the narrative does not return to the framework story, instead ending with the happy homecoming of the couple and his inauguration into the ranks of their most honoured heroes. Question: What is the gentalman morning? Answer:

The death of lady Mirdath.

Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe on Tuesday fired his deputy Joice Mujuru, a few hours after she dismissed allegations that she'd plotted to assassinate the 90-year-old Zimbabwean leader as "ridiculous." Mugabe also fired eight Cabinet ministers, Zimbabwe's Chief Secretary to the Cabinet Misheck Sibanda said in a statement. Sibanda said Mugabe had dismissed his vice president "because her conduct had become inconsistent with her official duties." The firing of Mujuru -- long expected to replace Mugabe -- came after she issued a statement dismissing claims by Mugabe that she plotted with the opposition and the West to kill him as not having "one iota of evidence." Of the eight sacked ministers, including a junior minister, Sibanda said: "It had become apparent that their conduct and performance were below the expected conduct." 'Plotting to kill' The political upheaval erupted last week when Mugabe accused Mujuru of trying to topple him and of being a "thief" of minerals. "Wanting a post should not lead someone into plotting to kill," he said in reference to Mujuru, while opening his ruling Zanu PF party's congress in the capital, Harare. A day earlier, he told his party's central committee that Mujuru, a Zanu PF member, was working with the West to oust or assassinate him. Mujuru was seen as the likely successor to Mugabe until recently, when first lady Grace Mugabe accused her of being "too dull" and "too corrupt" to lead. Analysts now say the first lady is being groomed to succeed her husband, the only leader Zimbabweans have known since the country gained independence from Britain in 1980. On Saturday, she was confirmed as the leader of the powerful women's wing of Zanu PF. Mugabe: 'I still have the will' At the same time, Mugabe has ruled out leaving politics, despite his advanced age. "I still have a bright mind, I still have the will," Mugabe said as he officially closed his party's five-day congress late Saturday, in a speech that lasted about an hour. He said he would announce a new lineup of Zanu PF leaders by this Thursday. "We will do a reshuffle. There will be disappointments. Those who are not here have said goodbye to us," he said, referring to Mujuru and her allies, who have been snubbing most party leadership meetings since the public attacks against her. Under the new constitution of Zanu PF, Mugabe handpicks the entire leadership of his party. Summarize this article.

Question: Cameron guides tour groups in a museum. He usually answers two questions per tourist. Today, he did four tours. The early morning first group was only 6 people. The following group was a busy group of 11. The third group had 8 people, but one was inquisitive and asked three times as many questions as usual. The last group of the day was a late group of 7. How many questions did Cameron answer? Answer:

Cameron answered 2 * 6 = <<2*6=12>>12 questions for the first group. He answered 2 * 11 = <<2*11=22>>22 questions for the second group. The third group had 8 - 1 = 7 tourists that asked 2 questions each. The third group also had 1 tourist that asked 2 * 3 = <<1*2*3=6>>6 questions. Thus, the third group asked 7 * 2 + 6 = 14 + 6 = <<7*2+6=20>>20 questions. The last group asked 7 * 2 = <<7*2=14>>14 questions. For all four tours, Cameron answered 12 + 22 + 20 + 14 = <<12+22+20+14=68>>68 questions. The answer is 68.

Told to move: Lily Dove, 95, is one of the 1,500 people who have been 'de-registered' from the medical practice in Watton, Norfolk . Lily Dove has used her GP practice for so long that she remembers when the doctor would visit on a horse and trap. Now the 95-year-old great-grandmother is being removed from its register because so many newcomers have moved into the area. Some 1,500 people are being taken off the database by the medical practice in Watton, Norfolk, which has struggled to recruit enough new GPs to cope with the market town’s rapidly growing population – many of them Eastern Europeans. Mrs Dove was shocked and upset to be . told she would be ‘de-registered’ within a fortnight and would have to . move to a different clinic. When she complained she was told no exception could be made for her because it would be ‘discriminatory’. Mrs Dove, a widow from the nearby village of Ashill, has lived in the area since her birth in January 1919. She . suffers from a number of health problems, and now fears that her . failing eyesight means it would be dangerous for her to start using an . unfamiliar surgery in the next nearest town, Swaffham. She said: ‘I am deteriorating a bit. Life is difficult enough without having to change my doctor.’ Mrs Dove lived for 88 years on an . arable farm in the village of Stow Bedon, which was run first by her . father John, then by her husband Ellis, and finally by her son John. She moved out when he sold it four years ago and now lives on her own in a bungalow. Extra care comes from her family and a cleaner who comes once a week. Regular . check-ups at the surgery are essential for the great-grandmother, who . is on medication for diabetes, cholesterol and heart problems. After an . operation for arthritis and a recent painful fall on her left hip, she . also needs a walking frame to get around. A letter was sent to Mrs Dove from the surgery in Watton apologising, but telling her that it would be discriminatory towards others forced to move if they had let her stay with them . She . said: ‘I’ve been with the Watton surgery all my life, as were my . parents before me. 'In fact when I was tiny the doctor came out in his . horse and trap – although of course you had to pay in those days. This . letter from the surgery just came out of the blue. ‘There was no question of discussing . it with you or anything. When you can’t see very well, you could easily . fall over. I should be very nervous going to Swaffham.’ Local services are under increasing pressure because of Watton’s expanding population. New . housing developments have attracted so many new residents – many of . them Eastern Europeans attracted by farm work in the rural county – that . public services are struggling to cope. Mrs . Dove said: ‘This problem has been going on for some time. Why didn’t . they make a fuss before and get help then instead of letting it get to . this state?’ Safety fears: Mrs Dove's son John, 71, is worried his mother will struggle with the change due to her age and health . Her son John Dove, 71, added: ‘She was very upset by the letter. 'Having been a patient there all her life, she was annoyed. She just doesn’t want to change. 'She doesn’t know Swaffham – with her failing eyesight she knows where she’s going in Watton. 'You can’t keep pulling people into a rural area without putting bits and pieces in place to deal with them.’ One of Mrs Dove’s friends, who is in her 80s, has also been told she must switch to a new GP nearly ten miles from her home. Watton Medical Practice manager Mary Osborne said there was a ‘national crisis’ in GP recruitment, with 40 unfilled vacancies across Norfolk alone. The clinic already has vacancies for a nurse practitioner and two GPs – and another two family doctors are expected to leave by the end of the year. ‘This is a matter of patient safety and we have acted out of concern for ongoing patient care and patient safety,’ she added. ‘We were informed by the local area team for NHS England that we could not be discriminatory and ask some residents to move and ask others to stay – that would have been unlawful. 'The decision was made on geographical area, where there is an alternative practice to cover a patient’s primary care.’ NHS England said it understood the pressure on the surgery but felt it was ‘regrettable’ that patients were being de-registered. Maureen Baker, of the Royal College of General Practitioners, said every patient should be able to see their GP when they need to – but the situation facing the profession made it increasingly difficult. ‘De-registration of patients only takes place as a very last resort, and only when there could be a threat to patient safety,’ she said. ‘This is a consequence of the desperate shortage of GPs in many parts of the country, which is leaving the service teetering on the brink of collapse – with the greatest impact being felt on patient care.’ Summarize this article.

Lily Dove, 95, has been 'de-registered' from her GP in Watton, Norfolk . Along with 1,500 others, she has been told to move to another practice . The process is a result of lack of GPs and increased population .

Passage: The novel opens in a world reduced to a grim struggle for existence after a plague of madness that afflicted individuals at random. Some two years previously, every government in the world was attacked by its own military machinery, which then self-destructed. All civilian air transport was similarly destroyed, along with major cities like San Francisco. After the initial meltdown, people began claiming to be "possessed". They would commit crimes of violence, but afterward they would claim to have had no control over their actions. This leads to superstitions about demonic possession, as well as a novel legal defense. Chandler is an electronics engineer who is on trial for rape and murder. He claims to have been possessed while committing the crime, but nobody believes him because it took place in a pharmaceuticals plant. These places, along with hospitals and other vital facilities, are believed to have some kind of immunity to the plague. Saved by an apparent episode of possession of the jury in the trial, he is instead exiled from his community with a letter "H", for "Hoaxer", branded on his forehead. He encounters a cult who use pain to ward off the possession. The members believe that the "flame spirits" cannot abide pain, but a young woman tells Chandler that she is sure the possessors are other human beings, and that one of them is a man she rejected. Soon afterwards the entire cult is wiped out and Chandler, in a state of almost constant possession, is made to bring their sacred text, a copy of The Prophet by Khalil Gibran to Hawaii. On the way he encounters people who, while not always possessed, do what their "execs" tell them for fear of the consequences of disobeying. In Hawaii Chandler learns that the possessors are indeed people. They wear silver coronets which give them the power using a new technology. Based on what the novel calls "sub-millimeter microwaves" (now known as terahertz radiation), the technology allows people wearing the coronets to locate and take over the bodies of anyone on Earth. Chandler falls under the influence of Rosalie Pan, a former Broadway star who was kidnapped by her ex-lover and eventually allowed to become one of the execs herself. She tries to seduce him into joining her by giving him a taste of the feeling of power. At the same time, the execs are building a new transmitter on the island of Kauai. While they can go anywhere on Earth with their power, their physical bodies must remain close to the original equipment. With the new equipment they will be able to leave Hawaii and roam at will. Chandler's expertise is needed and he is proposed for election to the elite. If not, once the job is done he will be eliminated. Chandler for his part is beginning to enjoy the benefits of his situation and is a willing helper on the project. Matters come to a head when Rosalie's lover, who is also the leader of the execs, attempts revenge on Chandler, only to die of a heart attack due to his age and physical deterioration after years of vicarious living in the bodies of others. Chandler obtains his coronet, as well as another tuned to the new equipment, the only such one in existence. He disables the old equipment and uses the new coronet to wipe out the other execs, except for Rosalie. He causes them to commit suicide, one by one, until he is the only one on Earth who has the secret. He thinks that eventually he will stop using it, but decides to keep it, just for now... Question: What does the "H" placed on Chandler's head stand for? Answer:

Hoaxer

By . Beth Stebner . PUBLISHED: . 20:04 EST, 31 December 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 17:35 EST, 1 January 2013 . For many New Yorkers, it’s hard not to worry about the rent being too damn high. But in the world of high-stakes Manhattan real estate, money is no object. In fact, it can be a point of pride and a show of seemingly-unlimited affluence, which could help explain the sky-high prices. The top three properties – located in Midtown West, Lenox Hill,and Lincoln Square – boast creature comforts and space that many can only dream of, and are listed between $95million and $100million, making them the priciest residential listings in the city. Priciest: The 18th floor of the Sherry-Netherland, at 781 Fifth Avenue in the Lenox Hill neighborhood of Manhattan is one of the most expensive listings at $95m . Location: The 18th floor co-op is located at the southwest tip of the Lennox Hill neighbourhood, a block away from landmarks like the Plaza Hotel, Grand Army Plaza, and Central Park . Amenities: The Sherry-Netherland co-op offers 7,000 square feet, complete with seven bedrooms and seven baths . Luxe: Along with a massive terrace, the property has four exposures, an almost unheard of thing in Manhattan real estate . The first property, the 18th floor of the Sherry-Netherland, is listed with Kathy Sloane of Brown Harris Stevens and Dolly Lenz of Prudential Douglas Elliman. The 18th floor co-op is located at the southwest tip of the Lennox Hill neighbourhood, a block away from several Manhattan landmarks – including the Plaza Hotel, Grand Army Plaza, and Central Park. It offers 7,000 square feet, complete with seven bedrooms and seven baths, dizzying views of the Plaza Hotel and Central Park, and three separate entrances. The property, which has wrap-around terraces, has been on the market since September. Despite the colossal price tag, its monthly real estate tax is incredibly affordable, at only $1 per month. High living: The 18th floor of the Sherry-Netherland, a co-op residential hotel across from the Plaza, is selling for a staggering $95million . Austere: A copper gargoyle adorns the building, which overlooks the southeast end of Central Park . Old school: The lobby reflects the glamorous old New York set, with attended elevators and marble details . Aside from its expansive space, the Fifth Avenue property boasts services associated with old New York, including valets in white gloves, turn-down service, maid service, 24-hour concierge, and in-room dining from Harry Cipriani. It was designed in 1927 by the same architecture firm that created The Waldorf-Astoria and The Pierre; its 165 apartments were converted to co-ops in 1954. A property at 15 Central Park West was also listed for $95million, and the sweeping French Gothic Woolworth Mansion was listed for $90million. The most expensive listing of the year goes to the penthouse at 150 W. 56th St. in the CitySpire condominium which was previously owned by Long Island real estate developer Steven Klar. He listed the property in July of this year. Trophy: 150 West 56th Street, the CitySpire building, boasts the most expensive listing; its penthouse suite costs $100million, but also has top-of-the-line equipment and 360-degree views . Greco-Roman: The elaborate penthouse was designed by Juan Pablo Molyneux, and takes much inspiration from Greek and Roman architecture . Vistas: The penthouse occupys the top three floors of the CitySpire building; its dining room sits 20 and overlooks the Hudson River . Lavish living: The three-story penthouse has an entire guest apartment and lots of terrace space . The octagonally-shaped property boasts 8,000 square feet and three floors – one of which is an entire guest suite. Mr Klar told the New York Times in a July interview that he purchased the property in 1993 for $4.5million and spent years redesigning the raw interior. He transformed it to hold a 20-person dining room, six bedrooms, nine baths, complete with wine cellar and media room. It has 135 windows, which look out to four separate exposures. But Forbes notes that the property does not have other typically-essential high-end features like high ceilings. Contender: Apartment #35S of 15 Central Park West is also listed for a staggering $95million . Views: The apartment is located at the southwest corner of Central Park and offers stunning views of the city . Expansive: Located in Lincoln Square, the a five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath condominium is also listed for $95million . In addition, the new construction, One57, the property being constructed blocks away, could seriously block some of the views. The third listing, also for $95,000,000, is at 15 Central Park West, a five-bedroom, five-and-a-half bath condominium in Lincoln Square. The property has three exposures, library, massive living room, and views of both Central Park and the Hudson River. The most recent condo sold at the property was a three-bedroom, three-and-a-half bath condo for $24million. Summarize this article.

When 11-year-old Wren Kauffman goes back to school this week it will be the first time many of his classmates will have seen him as a boy. The Canadian child was born a girl but, thanks to the support of his family, Wren is ready to start life as the gender he believes he should have been born as. Teachers and fellow pupils are aware of Wren's transformation and when he starts at his Edmonton school he will use the boy's locker rooms and toilets. New beginning: Wren, right, with his mother Wendy and sister Avy look at pictures of him growing up as a girl . Although Wren, who was born Wrenna, knew from a young age that he was different, it took his parents a little longer to realize their daughter wanted more than to just be a tom boy. 'It's like you're trapped inside someone else's body that you don't want to be in,' Wren told CTV News. From a very early age Wren enjoyed dressing up as comic book heroes, wore his hair short and, at about the age of 3, would ask when he would get to be a boy. It was his little sister, Avy, who finally pressed home to their parents that Wren was transgendered. Back to school: When Wren returns after the summer holidays his teachers and classmates will treat him as a boy . Trapped: From a young age, 11-year-old Wren knew he was different . Supportive: The Kauffmans have accepted Wren's decision and say they love him unconditionally . 'She said to me, "You know, Mom, Wren is a boy and he told me to tell you,' Wendy Kauffman told 680 News. She . said that when she told Avy, Wren just wants to be a boy, her . six-year-old daughter said: 'No, Mom, he really wants to a boy,' Mrs Kauffman said her young child had been able to see what Wren was going through, before his parents had. When he was nine, Mrs Kauffman said Wren got really upset, and told her: 'I know that I'm different, I feel different every day. I can't be a girl and be happy.' Mrs Kauffman added: 'When I think about it, it makes me sad that I didn't listen sooner.' Relaxed: Since starting to live like a boy Wren has been happier . Prepared: Wren says he is aware he may be bullied later on but says he can handle it . She later told Wren: 'I love you whether you’re a boy or a girl and I . understand now. And we’ll figure out how we can help you. And we’ll do . it together.' His parents got in touch with Kris Wells, from the University of Alberta's Institute for Sexual Minority Studies and Services. He . said when he first met the family, he could see they loved their . children unconditionally and were on a quest to be able to help Wren. Six out of 1,000 students experience transgenderism, according to some studies, and Dr Wells said his department receives calls and emails from parents and schools asking for help at least once a day. In Wren's case, he is being given injections to delay puberty until he is 16, so he can decide whether to being male hormone treatment and, ultimately, gender realignment surgery when he is 18. True identity: After 11 years trapped in a girl's body, Wren is slowly making the changes to become male . While some families chose to be secretive, the Kauffman's have been open about Wren's transformation. He said some people have teased him but he 'can handle it,' although he is prepared that he may be bullied later in life. 'If you’re not yourself, then it kind of gets sad and depressing,' Wren said. 'I’m glad that I told everybody.' Summarize this article.

Passage: Mike Peters is a struggling actor who left New York to find success in L.A. six months prior. The move precipitated a break up between him and his girlfriend of six years and left him feeling alone and heartbroken. In the opening scenes of the film, Mike talks about his situation with his friend Rob, another thespian from back east. Mike feels miserable about their conclusions. Afterwards, while on the phone, Mike is coaxed into an impromptu Las Vegas trip by his new best friend, and also actor, Trent to help Mike get over his ex. The trip starts out on a high note with excitement and anticipation but soon takes a turn for the worse when Mike crashes and burns at the casino. Soon after, the guys manage to meet some ladies and just when it seems as if Mike can make some progress and salvage the trip, it all falls apart again and this time Trent goes down with him. On the ride home, Trent gets Mike to feel better about himself and to look at the positive side of things. Mike promises to try his best to move on. Now back in L.A., Mike and Rob get together for some golf and to talk shop. Later that night, Mike and Trent are getting ready to hit the Hollywood hills, at their actor friend Sue's apartment. With the vibes feeling right and things going well, Mike and Rob meet up with Mike's pal Charles, yet another starving actor, at a local bar where they admire the beautiful women. Soon afterward they rendezvous with the others and they all finally make it to a party where Mike makes an ill-fated attempt to get back into the game, while Trent gives the guys a lesson in how to handle the opposite sex. The guys agree to head to their favorite after hours spot and, after watching Trent and Sue effortlessly meet some girls, Mike is clearly shown feeling lower than ever but not yet defeated. Trent and Sue convince Mike that he is in control so he finally makes his move like he's got nothing to lose and he actually meets Nikki and gets her phone number. Success at last, or so he hopes. The swingers leave the lounge and narrowly miss getting into a brawl in the parking lot, caused by Sue's temper yet averted by Sue pulling a gun which no one else was aware was even a part of his attire. The group splits up but not before angry words are exchanged among friends. Mike is left feeling desolate once again. To make himself feel better, Mike decides to call Nikki but he blows any chance he has with her when he leaves a series of increasingly awkward and desperate messages. Now he feels as if he has truly hit bottom and he sits alone in his apartment, missing his ex more than ever and contemplating a move back to New York. Rob comes over to console him and, after some serious talk, he feels like it's time to get back in the saddle again. Mike meets up with the guys at Sue's, where he discovers that he has missed some changes in the group dynamic. That aside, apologies are exchanged and the nightlife once again awaits them. The next stop is a Hollywood night club for swing night. The guys enter through a makeshift VIP entrance in a style that pays homage to Director/Writer/Producer Martin Scorsese. Once inside, the guys let the good times roll and Mike spots a beautiful woman whom he decides he wants to meet. He gathers all his courage and approaches her confidently. He finds himself in an actual interesting conversation with the young and single Lorraine. They are soon swing dancing and the chemistry between them is incredible. The night ends well and Mike, Trent and Sue head to an after-hours meal to discuss the particulars. Mike finally appears to be on his way to moving on and feeling good about himself. The following morning Mike receives a phone call from his ex. She wants to talk about their state of affairs, but when Mike decides to answer another incoming call, he is greeted by Lorraine. He has to make an immediate decision as to which path he wants to go down and in a moment that solidifies his regained self-esteem, he puts his past behind him and chooses to take a chance on someone new. This moment parallels Rob's advice to Mike that he gives in the opening scene where he states that girls never call back until you have forgotten about them. In the closing scene, Mike meets Trent for coffee and they enjoy one more good heart-to-heart while Trent is brought down to earth by a reminder that even when you have got it, you cannot win them all. Question: What does Sue pull out during the parking lot incident? Answer:

A gun
