Foreign fraudsters are trawling through public registers to target households in a sophisticated new identity theft scam. The criminals use personal details from records such as Companies House to apply for credit and store cards. They order expensive equipment online from abroad and an accomplice then waits near the unsuspecting victim’s home to intercept the courier and sign for the goods. Step one: Fraudsters use personal details from records such as Companies House to apply for credit and store cards and order equipment online . If the parcel has already been delivered, a bogus courier will call at the house and ask for the item’s return, claiming it was sent in error. One victim, Mike Finlason, 70, from Fareham, Hampshire, received an iPhone and watch from Argos last week that he had not ordered. When he contacted the company, he was told he had applied for an Argos credit card on February 18 and bought the goods at the same time. The order had been placed from an AOL email address in St Petersburg, Russia. Step two: The criminals wait near the unsuspecting victim¿s home to intercept the courier and sign for the goods. The applicant had given Mr Finlason’s name, address and date of birth, and described his job as director of My Music Ltd – a now-defunct company he had set up in the 1990s. Mr Finlason said: ‘I was told that fraudsters in Russia have been going through the Companies House website for personal information like this. Argos told me it’s going on all over the country.’ The Home Retail Group, which owns Argos, said: ‘We are continually working to combat new fraud tactics and have stringent processes in place to protect our customers.’ A spokesman for Action Fraud – the UK’s internet crime reporting centre – confirmed that police forces around the country were investigating incidents of ‘courier scam’. Companies House said it was unaware its website was being plundered in this way. Summarize this article.

A Texas couple believe they've captured the legendary 'goat sucker' beast el chupacabra. Jackie Stock and her husband Bubba discovered the hairless, growling creature eating corn outside their Ratcliffe home on Sunday and decided it could be but one thing. 'He called me to come and look, and I said "Bubba that looks like a baby chupacabra,”' Stock said. Scroll down for video . Is this El Chupacabra? A Texas couple found this mysterious creature in their yard on Sunday and believe it is a legendary chupacabra . 'He called me to come and look, and I said "Bubba that looks like a baby chupacabra,¿' said Jackie Stock after her husband first happened on the creature . Indeed, the animal is not very large--perhaps the size of a house cat. But its wrinkly black skin and bulbous eyes still lend it a look of menace. The couple have kept the thing in a cage and have been feeding it and making sure it has water to drink. They've also given friends and neighbors the opportunity to come take a peek. Neighbor Arlen Parma spoke from experience when he concluded it's likely the blood sucking chupacabra. 'I hunted coons for 20 years with dogs and I ain’t ever seen anything that looks like that right there,' Parma told KAVU. 'We've never seen anything like it before': The couple has kept the animal around in order to show it around in hopes someone can ID it . Jackie Stock shows where she first happened on the animal she thinks is a chupacabra . 'I hunted coons for 20 years with dogs and I ain’t ever seen anything that looks like that right there,' said the Stocks' neighbor Arlen Parma . And his identification wasn't just based on looks: . 'A coon doesn’t make that noise, or a possum. What makes that noise? I guess a chupacabra does,' Parma said. Stock and her husband say they have kept the animal in a cage, not to harm it, but out of curiosity. 'We were just trying to figure out what it is because we've never seen anything like it before,' Stock said. No chupacabra has ever been positively identified, of course, and if the Stock's find is ever ID'd, it will likely be as a mammal, possibly with a parasitic infestation that has caused its hair to fall out. The Stocks are feeding the animal and making sure it has plenty of water . Mangy? Many believe chupacabra sightings are nothing more than mammals like foxes or raccoons with hair loss caused by mange . LEGEND OF EL CHUPACABRA . The word comes from two Spanish words - 'chupar', to suck, and 'cabra', goat. The first reported sighting was In 1995, when eight sheep were found dead in Puerto Rico with identical puncture wounds to the chest and completely drained of blood. Thus, the legend of the livestock killing, vampire-like chupacabra was born. Since then, the legendary beast has been spotted across the Americas and even the world. A Mexican incident where 35 sheep were found mysteriously dead was blamed on El Chupacabra in 2012. Earlier this year, yet another Mississippi sighting came when a Leake County man actually shot and killed what he claimed was El Chupacabra. Even a Belarusian town had a Chupacabra sighting this past July . SCIENCE ATTEMPTS TO EXPLAIN . Scientists often speculate that hairless creatures believed to be El Chupacabra are actually wildlife like coyotes, foxes, and stray dogs infested with parasites. Most commonly pointed to is the parasite Sarcoptes scabiei, which causes mange. Mange is a painful, potentially life threatening condition which can cause complete hair loss in mammals and can also cause their skin to shrivel, making for an even more ghoulish looking beast. In humans, Sarcoptes scabiei causes scabies and a consequent itchy, painful rash as the parasites burrow around, leaving their feces under the skin.

The inter-species boxing match happened at Gunung Leuser National Park on the Indonesian island of Sumatra . Females almost never travel on the ground and adult males only do so rarely. Adult males are typically solitary while females are accompanied by offspring. In Sumatra, around 80 per cent of the native forest has already been destroyed. The loss of natural habitat, along with illegal hunting, has left the Sumatran orangutan critically endangered. Of the nine existing populations of Sumatran orangutans, only seven have prospects of long-term viability, each with an estimated 250 or more individuals. Only three populations contain more than 1,000 orangutans. Humans share 96 per cent of their genes with orangutans. Summarize this article.

A state assesses a poll tax on people for registration to vote to elect state legislators. A group of minority citizens sues the state alleging denial of equal protection in that the right to vote cannot be based on the ability to pay a poll tax. The group does not present any evidence that the purpose of adopting the tax was to discriminate. There is no evidence of any specific effect that the tax has had on any class of people. Will the group succeed in striking down the tax? A. No, the mere fact that a law results in treating some groups differently from others does not automatically amount to a violation of the Equal Protection Clause. B. No, because this is a state tax that does not apply to voting for federal candidates, and it is therefore exempt from the Equal Protection Clause. C. Yes, because the tax impedes the substantive due process right of every citizen to vote. D. Yes, because the tax discriminates against poor people who will be less able to afford paying it, thus denying them equal protection of the laws. Answer:

D. Yes, because the tax discriminates against poor people who will be less able to afford paying it, thus denying them equal protection of the laws.

Nancy was an aspiring actress who had worked as a production assistant on TV's Glee.

Roberts, 46, made her feel embarrassed and ashamed of her weight, according to Nancy, which peaked at 20st. She resorted to a £20,000 gastric bypass operation last year. 'It makes me feel incredibly hurt and very sad,' Motes said. 'When you're in a family of very, very exceptionally beautiful people it's intimidating.' Her other siblings include Eric Roberts, 57, and Lisa Roberts Gillan, 48, who are also actors. Actress Emma Roberts is the daughter of Eric.

The actress, who had won a Golden Globe for playing a young bride in Steel Magnolias, received a second for Pretty Woman. Motes, who described herself as an 'awkward' child who was bullied at school, could not compete with the success of her 'very pretty and very popular' sister. She said: 'When I was in high school and she was an adult, she would just let me know that I was definitely overweight. She would make it quite clear to me and in a not so nice manner. 'Julia did not want to see me go down that path [of acting] … So I just got a lot of criticism from Julia, which was very discouraging for me.'

Niece: Emma Roberts, pictured Monday with Evan Peters, was Nancy's niece . Three years ago Nancy moved back to Los Angeles, after meeting her fiancé John Dilbeck. But she claimed Roberts started taunting her about her weight again days after she arrived. With her weight soaring, she finally decided to have a gastric bypass fitted. Motes said she could not afford the £20,000 fee, but rather than ask Roberts, who is worth £90million, for financial help, she took out a loan. She had lost 7st since the operation last June and had planned on marrying in May. However, RadarOnline reported last year that Julia planned to boycott the nuptials because she didn't like the groom and didn't want to get stuck paying for the wedding. 'Julia doesn't think much of Nancy's husband-to-be,' the website quoted an insider as saying. 'She's convinced he's sponging off Nancy, who doesn't have much money in the first place.' At the time of her death, it was not known if she had mended her relationship with Julia. She said last year: 'It's a work in progress, it's not going to be fixed overnight, nor do I think it's going to be fixed by me just getting skinny.' Summarize this article.

Ryse has divided opinion. In one corner, gamers were astounded by its undeniable beauty. In the other, the short, button-mashing playable demo at this year's E3 left many thinking Ryse was a case of all style but no substance. You play Marius Titus, a young Roman soldier whose family is murdered by barbarian bandits. Fuelled by revenge, Titus enlists in the Roman army, travelling to Britannia and rising through the ranks to become leader of one of the deadliest military forces in history. Photorealistic? Thanks to CryEngine 3, the powerhouse that fuelled Crysis 3, facial detail across the board is truly next-gen . Powered by the CryEngine 3, gameplay revolves around third-person hacking and slashing. Hammering different buttons unleashes unique combos, while certain moves trigger Quick Time events for brutal finishing attacks. It's a tried and tested formula but the level of detail in the brutality is something current-gen consoles have never been able to capture. Using advanced Vertex animation, you'll see the anger in your foes eyes as they charge at you. Their determination as they swing a sword frantically at your head. And their fear when they stare at your sword hurtling towards their mid-section. What's perhaps even more impressive is that this attention to detail isn't lost on a larger scale. Every soldier on the screen is painstakingly animated - not just floating vaguely in the background. Add to the mix Crytek's Virtual Camera hardware that manipulates lighting, the environment and other effects in real-time, and you've got an incredibly life-like interpretation of battles in that period. Perhaps less realistic are Titus's movements during combat. There's a clever multi-directional attack function - allowing you to take on more than one enemy, but Titus 'glides' around like he's on an ice rink. Hit detection, too, needed some work. Rome, sweet Rome: Although the demo focused sly on action, gamers can expect an enthralling story . Ryse is also Kinect and SmartGlass compatible. Through Kinect, you can command your troops in real time via voice recognition technology, while SmartGlass lets you launch the game where you left off. As well as upgrading your character, the in-game DVR lets players review and share the best experiences from their game directly from their tablet, while context-sensitive achievements and guides help you unlock as many secrets as possible. Anyone who played the Last of Us demo will know just how far away that is from the full game. It was so much more than simply killing zombies. Xbox fans will hope the same applies to Ryse. Ryse is an Xbox One exclusive launch title. Let us know what you think on Twitter: @DailyMailGames and on Facebook: Daily Mail Games. Summarize this article.

Passage: Champagne, a construction developer, disappeared in 1982 while aboard a 45-foot yacht that was sailing off the Olympic Peninsula. He was presumed dead after a 13-hour search by the U.S. Coast Guard. A $1.5 million life-insurance business policy, taken out by his brother as co-partner in a construction firm with Champagne, paid out $700,000 to his grieving family. After the accident when Champagne realized everyone thought he had drowned, he stole the identity of Harold Stegeman, an 8-year-old boy who died in 1945. Champagne lived as Stegeman, a Washington restaurateur, for the next 10 years until his arrest for counterfeiting US currency in an Idaho garage. Champagne pleaded guilty to giving false statements during a bankruptcy hearing, a loan application and passport application. In addition, he served 21 months in federal prison for charges of counterfeiting and passport fraud. Barer, an Edgar Award winner, profiles Champagne in Man Overboard. The first page of the book includes a synopsis of how the new identity began: "Phil Champagne died Aug. 31, 1982, in a tragic boating accident off Lopez Island, Washington. He was 52. Champagne was survived by his wife of 28 years, four grown children, an octogenarian mother and two despondent brothers. Phil didn’t know he was dead until he read it in the paper. All things considered, he took it pretty well." Question: What offense was Champagne eventually arrested for? Answer:

Counterfeiting

MADRID, Spain (CNN) -- A woman who survived last week's Spanair airline crash in Madrid left the hospital Tuesday, saying she was "born again" by the disaster. Beatriz Reyes has been released from hospital after surviving the plane crash which killed 154 people. Beatriz Reyes, 41, has been credited with saving two of the three children who survived the crash which killed 154 people. She is the second survivor to be sent home, while 16 others remained hospitalized Tuesday. The first to leave the hospital was a 6-year-old boy, apparently one of the children Reyes helped in the moments after the Spanair MD-82 airliner crashed on takeoff from Madrid's Bajaras airport Wednesday. "I saw some kids and I got them out," Reyes said. "I think anyone would have done it." All 18 who survived were seated in the front section of the plane, the only part not to catch fire. Reyes was in seat 5-D. She said she remained conscious throughout the crash. "I felt a strong blow and then my stomach went up and down," she said. "That's when I knew there was an accident." She said it was ironic that she was treated in the maternity ward at Hospital Infanta Sofia in the Madrid suburb of San Sebastian de los Reyes. "On the 20th of August, I have been born again," she said. She was returning home from a vacation in Germany when she boarded the flight to the city of Las Palmas in the Canary Islands. Reyes said she will continue to fly, a necessity for her job as a bank executive in the Canary Islands. Going home to the Canary Islands, she said, will be hard since the bodies of many of the dead will be arriving there with her. Initially, there were indications an engine might have caught fire as the plane was taking off, but a source familiar with the investigation said that an airport video showed the plane lifting off, veering sharply right, and then dragging or skidding down the right side of the runway. There is a cloud of dust, the source said, followed by a fireball. The crash remains under investigation. CNN's Madrid Bureau Chief Al Goodman contributed to this report. Summarize this article.

(CNN) -- Former England forward and Harlequins director of rugby Dean Richards has been banned from coaching for three years for his part in masterminding a fake blood injury to one of his players. Tom Williams spitting fake blood from his mouth in a match between Harlequins and Leinster. The 46-year-old was hit with disciplinary action after a hearing by an independent European Rugby Cup (ERC) panel found he had "organized the fabrication of a blood injury" on wing Tom Williams during a European Cup quarterfinal match against Leinster. With his side trailing by one point Williams, under instructions from Richards, faked a cut in his mouth with a capsule of fake blood, thereby allowing goal-kicker Nick Evans to return to the field of play. The plan may have worked if Williams had not winked to the oncoming player as he left the pitch, an action that infuriated their opponents Leinster. The ERC confirmed in a statement on their official Web site that Richards had acknowledged his role as the orchestrator of the plan that has since been dubbed "bloodgate," and the subsequent cover up of the injury. Watch journalists discuss club's 'shame' » . Richards was initially cleared of improper conduct by a hearing in July in which Williams was given a 12-month ban, but the verdict was challenged by ERC disciplinary officer Roger O'Connor. Further evidence came to light in an appeal made by Williams before an admission of guilt by Dean Richards, who recently resigned from his position with Harlequins, prompted the ban. The ERC appeal committee chairman Rod McKenzie said details of four other incidents of Harlequins faking injuries had been passed to the relevant authorities. Williams's ban was reduced to four months and the fine imposed on Harlequins has been increased from $340,000 to $425,000 -- the club still awaits to hear whether they will be expelled from this season's European Cup. The physiotherapist for the London-based club, Steph Brennan, has also been banned for two-years. Richards had not decided whether to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport but reacted to his ban by telling reporters: "I'm surprised. Three years is a long time but I'll reflect on it overnight. "I took full responsibility for it. It was a farcical situation, it really was. It didn't pan out particularly well on the day. Everybody looked at it and thought, 'That's unreal', which is what I thought on the touchline as well. "But I had to hold my hands up," Richards added. Summarize this article.

By . James Nye . PUBLISHED: . 17:46 EST, 25 November 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 23:51 EST, 25 November 2013 . The cross-country custody battle between Olympic gold medalist Bode Miller and his ex-Sara McKenna became so bitter that the skier decided to change the name she gave their child at birth - without her permission. That is just one of the revelations to come out of the New York City Family Court over the past two weeks as proceedings started today that could ultimately swing custody back to 27-year-old McKenna. Despite McKenna registering her son under his father's given name, Samuel Bode Miller-McKenna, the champion skier pointedly got permission from a Californian court to add Nathaniel as his middle name and now calls him Nate, instead of Sam, his birth name. Custody battle: Olympic alpine skier Bode Miller arrives with his son at Manhattan's Family Court in New York, today as the child's mother Sara McKenna arrives too . Husband and wife: Olympic alpine skier Bode Miller arrives with his wife Morgan and his son at Manhattan's Family Court in New York, November 25, 2013 . Miller has been locked in a custody dispute with his former lover since their son was born in February - a child McKenna claims he tried to make her abort. Born to McKenna in New York, the boy, now nine-months-old was transferred back to the custody of Miller, 36, in California because a New York Family Court referee called her 'irresponsible' and 'reprehensible' for moving to Manhattan when she was seven months pregnant. Miller's attorney's successfully argued that McKenna left California to get a more sympathetic hearing for herself to gain custody. He asked her to return to California, but she refused. However, when the New York court found in his favor, Miller's son was returned to him in May. However, the ruling raised serious questions about the rights of mothers-to-be and on November 14, the New York Family Court overturned the May ruling and and will begin a re-examination of who will gain custody of the child. Indeed, women's rights advocates became enraged at the court's decision in May, calling it a threat to the rights of pregnant women to make decisions over their own lives - regardless of the rights of the father. Olympic skier Miller fathered the child with Sara McKenna after the couple met on a dating webisite . Loss: Bode Miller, with wife and volleyball star Morgan Beck. The couple had a miscarriage in January . 'Especially with current political pressures to recognize separate legal rights for fetuses, there will be increasing calls on the courts to fault a pregnant woman for moving, to restrain women from living their lives because they’re pregnant,' said Sarah E. Burns, the head of the Reproductive Justice Clinic at the New York University law school to the New York Times. McKenna, a former marine, had previously claimed that the skier had suggested she have an abortion. according to the New York Daily News. When she first told Miller of the pregnancy, he texted her: 'U are going to do this on your own.' The 36-year-old skier later pushed for joint custody, and a judge ruled that McKenna must return to California for the case, forcing her to give up her studies at Columbia University in New York. A family court referee at an earlier hearing had described McKenna as 'reprehensible' for moving to New York while pregnant. Fling: McKenna, left and right, dated Bode Miller for 3 . months in 2012 when she lived in San Diego . After a short fling with Miller, the former Marine had moved to New York to study at Columbia under the GI Bill. The 27-year-old has applied for temporary custody of the baby, which she named Samuel. She claimed that when the couple met through a dating website, Miller had said he wanted a large family with her. McKenna revealed the couple had sex only twice - and that Miller failed to use protection as he assumed she was ready to get pregnant, she said. 'You have to agree to have four of my babies,' Miller had texted McKenna, she told the New York Daily News. After they met in California, they went their separate ways, and she said he was reluctant to continue a relationship because he wanted a large family, and she did not. But a few weeks later, they arranged to meet in Florida - and a second tryst led to her becoming pregnant with Samuel. 'He never offered to use a condom,' McKenna said. 'He assumed I was ready to get pregnant.' While pregnant, she moved to New York - and Miller, who has five Olympic medals, married volleyball player Morgan Beck. Baby Bode: McKenna discovered she was pregnant after a short relationship with Miller . Beck and Miller married in October 2012 and announced they were expecting a child, but Beck had a miscarriage in January. Days after the devastating news, Miller filed court documents to gain joint custody of his son with McKenna. Miller sought to force a judge to get McKenna to move back to California, so he could have a relationship with the child. He also sought to have the boy's last name changed to Miller on his birth certificate. At a hearing earlier this year, the lawyer representing McKenna said it is too late for Miller to try to seek joint custody. 'If you look at the texts [messages] from Bode Miller to my client, he wanted nothing to do with the baby,' attorney Kenneth Eiges said. Her lawyer also defended his client's decision to live in New York saying it was 'her right'. Summarize this article.

New York (CNN) -- Two Mexican brothers have been extradited to the United States to join a third brother to face sex trafficking charges in New York as part of a complex collaborative effort to combat human trafficking, federal officials said Monday. Benito Lopez-Perez, 32, and Anastasio Romero-Perez, 39, were arraigned on a 25-count indictment Monday morning in Brooklyn Federal Court, the U.S. attorney and the Justice Department said in a news release. The extensive indictment is the product of the Bilateral Human Trafficking Enforcement Initiative, an in-depth partnership involving the Department of Justice, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Homeland Security Investigations, the Urban Justice Center and many non-profit and non-governmental organizations in the United States and Mexico, the release said. "The indictment charges the defendants with sex trafficking, interstate prostitution, alien smuggling and money laundering offenses, involving victims as young as 14 and 15 years old," it said. On December 3, the third brother, Jose Gabino Barrientos-Perez, 51, was extradited from Mexico to face the same charges, officials said. U.S. Attorney Loretta E. Lynch also announced the extradition last month of Antonio Lira-Robles on the same charges. All the extraditions resulted from the comprehensive anti-trafficking program, which has so far resulted in the indictment of 52 defendants on sex trafficking charges and has "rescued over 100 victims, including 17 minors," the release said. "The sex trafficking of young girls and women is modern-day slavery we will do everything in our power to eradicate," Lynch said in a news conference Monday. She also announced the reuniting of a victim of sex trafficking with her child after a separation of more than 10 years. The mother was involved with the Carreto family sex trafficking ring, officials said. The ring operated between Mexico and United States from 1991 to 2004, the Justice Department said upon Carreto's sentencing in 2009. United States v. Carreto is considered to be "one of the first sex trafficking cases prosecuted by the United States Attorney's Office in Brooklyn," according to Monday's news release, "After substantial post-conviction investigation and international coordination, the child was located and reunited with the victim-mother." Sienna Baskin, co-director of the Sex Workers Project at the Urban Justice Center, called this "an example of people going above and beyond and being creative and thinking outside the box in order to make this happen. Now we need the lessons we learned in this case to be institutionalized." Baskin said she and others working as a part of the ad hoc task force realize that the fate of the victims is just as important as the fate of the traffickers. Under the initiative, "the United States and Mexico have collaborated to bring high-impact prosecutions under both U.S. and Mexican law to more effectively dismantle human trafficking networks operating across the U.S.-Mexico border," Monday's news release said. "The extraditions over the weekend followed by the arraignments today are a testament to our resolve to bring justice to those charged with forcing young women into prostitution," James T. Hayes Jr. is the special agent-in-charge of Homeland Security Investigations in New York. Summarize this article.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 11:15 EST, 5 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 13:37 EST, 5 January 2014 . Mitt Romney emerged for a rare interview Sunday in which finally showed his disdain for jokes made on MSNBC last week at the expense of his infant son. The former Republican presidential told Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday that liberal TV hosts like Melissa Harris-Perry are welcome to make jabs at him, but this one was below the belt. 'Children, you know, that’s beyond the line,' said the former Massachusetts governor and grandfather of 23. 'Beyond the line': Mitt Romney emerged for a rare interview Sunday in which he reacted to the comments made last week about his adopted black grandson Kieran .

Romney graciously accepted the tearful apology Harris-Perry gave on Saturday after guests used the race of little Kieran Romney to make a political point.

'I suspect she took this somewhat more personally,' Wallace said, referring to Mrs. Romney, 'the idea that political discourse would include going after a little baby.' 'We hold no ill will whatsoever,' he said and reiterated that he and his family are 'moving on.' Apology: MSNBC host Melissa Harris-Perry offered an apology to the Romneys and other inter-racial families .

Kieran, pictured with his mother Andelyne, has been adopted by Mitt Romney's son Ben . And actress Pia Glenn added: 'One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just isn't the same.' Although Harris-Perry, who is African-American, did not directly ridicule the baby, she said during her apology on MSNBC that the idea behind the segment was the result of 'poor judgment'. 'Given my own family history I identified with that picture and I intended to say positive and celebratory things,' she said. 'But whatever the intent was, the reality was the segment proceeded in a way that was offensive.' She added: 'My intention was not malicious but I broke the ground rule that families are off limits.' Forrmer Republican governor Sarah . Palin was among those who criticized the show, saying MSNBC . should be ashamed of itself for allowing the segment to go to air. 'Leftist media hounds are not . expressing an opinion with this attack; they are expressing a prejudice . that would never be accepted if it came from anyone else but the . lib[eral] media,' Palin wrote on her Facebook page in a post . accompanying the photo of the Romney family. In the broadcast of her apology, Harris-Perry's voice cracked with emotion as she said the core principle of her show was to advocate diversity.

Harris-Perry responded to her critics, saying she was 'genuinely appreciative of everyone who offered criticisms' and adding: 'I am reminded that our fiercest critics can sometimes be our best teachers.' 'Poor judgment': Harris-Perry apologized for asking guests to comment on the Romney family portrait . Obeidallah has also sought to defend himself in an article on the Daily Beast. He said he had received scores of nasty tweets from people calling him a 'baby-bullying bigot.' 'You may think [my joke was]funny, unfunny, cliché, idiotic, etc. Comedy is subjective,' he wrote. 'But say what you will about my quip, I didn't criticize the Romney family for adopting the baby nor did I mock baby Kieran in any way. Nor would I.

Question: Jake's dad can drive the distance from their house to the water park in 30 minutes. He spends half that journey driving 28 miles per hour and the other half driving 60 miles per hour on the highway. If Jake can bike 11 miles per hour, how many hours will it take him to bike to the water park? Answer:

First find how long half Jake's dad's trip is: 30 minutes / 2 = <<30/2=15>>15 minutes Then convert the minutes to hours: 15 minutes * 1 hour/60 minutes = .25 hours Now find how far Jake's dad travels at 28 miles per hour: .25 hours * 28 miles per hour = <<.25*28=7>>7 miles Then find how far Jake's dad travels at 60 miles per hour: .25 hours * 60 miles per hour = <<.25*60=15>>15 miles Now add those distances to find the total distance to the water park: 7 miles + 15 miles = <<7+15=22>>22 miles Now divide the total distance by Jake's speed to find how long it takes him: 22 miles / 11 miles/hour = <<22/11=2>>2 hours The answer is 2.

Passage: Harry Sanborn is a wealthy New York music mogul who has had a 40-year habit of dating women under 30, including his latest conquest, Marin Klein. The two drive to her mother's Hamptons beach house expecting to be alone, but are surprised by Marin's mother, successful playwright Erica Barry, who is there with her sister Zoe. After an awkward dinner, the night turns disastrous when — during foreplay with Marin — Harry has a heart attack and is rushed to a hospital. The doctor, Julian Mercer, tells Harry to stay nearby for a few days, so Harry ends up staying with Erica. Their personalities clash and make for awkward living arrangements—until they get to know each other. The fact that Harry is dating her daughter and that Julian has fallen for Erica leave the two struggling to deal with relationships. Marin and Harry agree to break up. He and Erica spend more time together and eventually consummate their relationship. Harry discovers that his improving health means that he no longer has to stay with Erica, so he heads home. Marin receives news that her father, Dave Klein, Erica's ex-husband, whom Erica still allows to direct her plays, is getting remarried to Kristen, an ear, nose and throat doctor who is only two years older than Marin. Although Erica is unaffected by the news, Marin is devastated and pressures her mother into accompanying her to a family dinner. Erica is the life of the party until she sees Harry at another table with another woman. In the argument that follows, Harry suffers from what he believes is another heart attack, but he is told by the young ER physician, Dr. Martinez, who treats him like her father, that it was only a panic attack. Although she is heartbroken, Erica figures that these events would be great to use in a play. Harry hears about it and rushes to the NYC theater where it is being rehearsed. Despite her denials, it is quickly obvious that she has used the most personal details of their affair in the play. Erica coolly rebuffs his every insinuation that he cares about her and hints that his character will die in the play—for a laugh. He then has another panic attack and is again treated by Dr. Martinez, who warns him that he needs to learn to "decompress". Six months pass. Erica's play is a huge success.

After suffering a major decline during the recession six years ago, luxury air travel is taking off again as legacy carriers introduce extravagant ‘apartments in the sky’ and more first class seats to lure wealthy travellers. And it appears a new age of aviation glamour has arrived with a recent study revealing a sharp increase in the number of first class seats on flights in the wake of the economic downturn. An analysis by aviation data company OAG shows a 34 per cent jump in first class seats on planes departing in 2014 compared with 2009, when many analysts predicted the end of first class seating. Scroll down for video . Etihad Airways' fleet of Airbus A380 aircraft boast first class apartments that offer plenty of privacy for wealthy travellers . Lap of luxury: Etihad Airways' £12,500 high-end suite, known as The Residence, is sold out for the first ten flights . Comfort: Singapore Airlines is spending £200m to overhaul its first class cabins on its fleet of Boeing 777 aircraft . According to the study, the total number of first class seats has increased by 34 per cent, with huge growth in Asia . According to the study, which was carried out for the Financial Times, there has been a resurgence in Europe, where the number of first class seats in 2014 has doubled in the last decade. There were approximately one million in 2005 and the number has rebounded to more than two million after a sharp decline between 2005 and 2009, the study found. In Asia alone, the growth of first class seating has been enormous – from 8.5 million seats in 2005 to 12.6 million in 2009 and 26.7 million this year. Personal space: These first class seats feature a wall that can be raised for additional privacy . Each first class apartment on Etihad's A380 fleet is equipped with a 24-inch TV and a wide armchair and ottoman which open into a bed . China and the Middle East have seen the biggest gains, while there have been cutbacks in Europe, according to the study. Emirates, for example, has increased its first class seats by 32 per cent as British Airways has cut its capacity by 23 per cent. Worldwide, there are more than 86 million first class seats on all flights, up from 57.5 million in 2005 and 64.1 million in 2009. Seats in British Airways’ first class cabins fold into a fully flat bed that measures nearly seven feet in length . British Airways has cut its first class cabin capacity by 23 per cent since 2009, according to a recent study . First class is experiencing a renaissance as airlines launch the most luxurious cabins ever seen and well-to-do passengers are eager to splash thousands of pounds to fly in the lap of luxury. The Residence, a three-room flat with a Savoy-trained butler and in-flight chef on Etihad Airways’ new Airbus A380 fleet, is the most opulent of them all. Despite the £12,500 price tag for a one-way flight in The Residence, the super-rich are snapping up tickets. Earlier this month, the Gulf carrier announced that it has sold out for the initial ten flights between Abu Dhabi and London Heathrow Airport. Despite the £12,500 price tag for a one-way flight in Etihad Airways' The Residence, the super-rich are snapping up tickets . First of its kind: The Residence boasts a double bedroom, living room and an en-suite shower room . Modern travel: A look inside the first class cabin, which is divided into 'apartments' For those who find the one-way price of The Residence too steep, they can opt for a First Apartment in the first class section. Etihad’s First Apartments may not come with a personal concierge or chef, but they do offer privacy in a much smaller space. The compartments are upholstered with Poltrona Frau leather with a wide armchair and ottoman which opens into a bed measuring 81 inches. And each one is equipped with an adjustable 24-inch flat screen TV, a vanity cabinet with lighting and space for personal effects, a chilled mini-bar and a wardrobe. Worldwide, there are more than 86 million first class seats on all flights, up from 57.5 million in 2005 and 64.1 million in 2009 . In response to growing competition from the east, Air France launched its new first class cabin, La Premiere, two months ago . First class travellers are treated to fine dining and plenty of booze while relaxing in spacious cabins . Airlines are pushing the boundaries and spending heavily on new cabins amid rising demand and growing competition, and it’s a situation that no one could have predicted when the recession hit. In response to growing competition from the east, Air France launched its new first class cabin, La Premiere, two months ago. Nigel Goode, director of PriestmanGoode, which has designed first class cabins for Qatar Airways, Swiss, Lufthansa and Air France, told the Financial Times: ‘Everyone thinks first class must be diminishing, but it’s quite incredible how more and more airlines are renewing their first class offer and having more first class seats on board. There is quite a resurgence.’ Summarize this article.

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Pakistan's all-powerful spy agency could face an unprecedented challenge from the nation's high court after a lawyer representing seven victims urged contempt of court charges Friday. The Supreme Court had given the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency until midnight Friday to produce the seven men, who according to attorney Tariq Asad, were arrested without due process and injured while in custody. The ISI has also been ordered to explain the deaths of four other detainees. Asad said he filed a petition after the Supreme Court adjourned Friday's hearing without the presence of the seven detainees. A three-judge panel gave the ISI a new Monday deadline to produce the men. "The court wants the detainees in court today and they're not accepting any excuses," said Asad. "The court has said they have until midnight to produce the detainees, even if it means bringing them to court in a helicopter." The court did not spell out consequences if the ultimatum is not heeded. But the case breaks new ground in that the ISI has long been thought untouchable. Legal proceedings could expose the inner workings of the highly secretive agency like never before. On Thursday, the spy agency's lawyer presented the court with medical certificates for four of the seven detainees to show they were hospitalized, and he asked permission from the court to present confidential letters explaining the whereabouts of the other three men, Asad said. The ISI blamed the death of detainee Abdul Saboor, 29, on natural causes, but his mother said scars on his body prove the agency tortured and killed her son. "He had so many marks on his body," Rohaifa Bibi said, pointing to numerous scars in a picture of her son's corpse. "When they showed me the body, he was just skin and bones." Saboor and his brothers made a living by printing Korans at a Lahore shop, Asad said. He said they were law-abiding but did acknowledge that all of the detainees were suspects in several militant attacks, though they were acquitted of the charges in 2010. A lawyer for the ISI told the Supreme Court that the spy agency did detain the men for further questioning but said they were set free. The ISI denies any role in the four deaths they have been ordered to explain. Human rights groups have documented ISI-sanctioned intimidation, torture, enforced disappearances, and killings. The Asian Human Rights Commission urged Pakistan's judiciary to prosecute those who are responsible for keeping the people under illegal custody. Otherwise, it said, the courts will be complicit. Journalist Nasir Habib contributed to this report . Summarize this article.

Pakistan's high court orders the spy agency to produce detainees in court . Judges want an explanation of deaths and alleged illegal detentions . The powerful spy agency is facing a rare legal challenge . Rights activists blame the agency for human rights violations .

Passage: Most of the film is told as flashback: Puff (Rhys Ifans) testifies to Congress, Lila Jute (Patricia Arquette) tells her story to the police, while a dead Nathan Bronfman (Tim Robbins) addresses an unseen audience in the netherworld. Lila is a woman with a rare hormonal imbalance which causes thick hair to grow all over her body. During her 20s, Lila decides to leave society and live within nature where she feels free to exist comfortably in her natural state. She writes a successful book about her naked, savage, happy, and free life in the woods embracing nature. Then, at age 30, strong sexual desire causes her to return to civilization and have her hair removed in order to find a partner. The partner she finds is Dr. Nathan Bronfman, a psychologist researching the possibility of teaching table manners to mice. Lila and Nathan go hiking in the woods one day. Lila sights a naked man in the woods who has believed himself to be an ape his entire life. Lila discards her clothes and chases him until he's cornered on a tree branch. The man falls off the branch and fall unconscious as Nathan comes along. Nathan brings this man to his lab where the man is named Puff. This name is after his French research assistant, Gabrielle's (Miranda Otto) childhood dog. We discover later from her phone call to an unknown person that she is actually an American with a fake French accent. First with the help of Gabrielle and later with Lila’s help, Nathan performs extensive manner training on Puff, so that he can speak and go through the motions of appreciating high culture, though he still has difficulty controlling sexual urges. To demonstrate his success, Nathan takes Puff on tour. Puff secretly drinks heavily and patronizes prostitutes. Meanwhile, Nathan and Lila's relationship deteriorates and Nathan has an affair with Gabrielle. Eventually Lila decides to take Puff back into the forest to undo his manner training and return him to his natural state. Lila and Puff live naked in the woods together until Nathan finds them one day and Puff kills Nathan. Lila turns herself in as the murderer and asks Puff to testify on the waywardness of humanity before he returns to his home in the forest. After the reporters and spectators leave, Puff comes back out of the forest and gets into a car with Gabrielle. They both drive off to get food (she still speaks with a French accent). At the end of the film, there is a philosophical passage read while the credits appear. It is an excerpt of William of Ockham from Opera Theologica in which Ockham explains his theory of intuitive cognition. "Intuitive cognition is such that when some things are cognized, of which one inheres in the other, or one is spatially distant from the other, or exists in some relation to the other, immediately in virtue of that non-propositional cognition of those things, it is known if the thing inheres or does not inhere, if it is spatially distant or not, and the same for other true contingent propositions, unless that cognition is flawed or there is some impediment." Question: What happens when Nathan returns to the forest at the end of the story? Answer:

Puff kills him.

Passage: Set in France and Louisiana in the early 18th century, the story follows the hero, the Chevalier des Grieux, and his lover, Manon Lescaut. Des Grieux comes from noble and landed family, but forfeits his hereditary wealth and incurs the disappointment of his father by running away with Manon. In Paris, the young lovers enjoy a blissful cohabitation, while Des Grieux struggles to satisfy Manon's taste for luxury. He scrounges together money by borrowing from his unwaveringly loyal friend Tiberge and by cheating gamblers. On several occasions, Des Grieux's wealth evaporates (by theft, in a house fire, etc.), prompting Manon to leave him for a richer man because she cannot stand the thought of living in penury. The two lovers finally end up in New Orleans, to which Manon has been deported as a prostitute, where they pretend to be married and live in idyllic peace for a while. But when Des Grieux reveals their unmarried state to the Governor and asks to be wed with Manon, the Governor's nephew sets his sights on winning Manon's hand. In despair, Des Grieux challenges the Governor's nephew to a duel and knocks him unconscious. Thinking he had killed the man and fearing retribution, the couple flee New Orleans and venture into the wilderness of Louisiana, hoping to reach an English settlement. Manon dies of exposure and exhaustion the following morning and, after burying his beloved, Des Grieux is eventually taken back to France by Tiberge. Question: Why did the main character become estranged from his family? Answer:

Because he ran off with a woman that his father disapproved of.

Passage: Popular Democratic President Andrew Shepherd (Michael Douglas) is preparing to run for re-election. The President and his staff, led by Chief of Staff and best friend A.J. MacInerney (Martin Sheen), attempt to consolidate the administration's 63% approval rating by passing a moderate crime control bill. However, support for the bill in both parties is tepid: conservatives do not want it, and liberals think it is too weak. If it passes, however, Shepherd's re-election is presumed by his staff to be a shoo-in, and Shepherd resolves to announce the bill, and the Congressional support to pass it, by the State of the Union. With the President of France about to arrive in the United States to attend a state dinner in his honor, Shepherd—widowed when his wife died of cancer three years earlier—is placed in an awkward predicament when his cousin Judith, with whom he had planned to attend the dinner, gets sick. The President's attention soon focuses on Sydney Ellen Wade (Annette Bening), just hired by an environmental lobbying firm to persuade the President to pass legislation committing his Administration to substantially reduce carbon dioxide emissions. During their first meeting, Shepherd and Wade are immediately intrigued by each other. At this meeting, Shepherd strikes a deal with Wade: if she can secure 24 votes for the environmental bill by the date of the State of the Union, he will deliver the last 10 votes. Whatever his personal feelings toward Wade, he expresses this to his staff, especially the pragmatic A.J., as a sound political move. He believes Wade will not be able to get enough votes to meet her side of the deal, thus releasing Shepherd from responsibility if the bill fails to pass. Later that evening, in a series of phone calls, Shepherd invites Wade to the state dinner. During the State dinner and subsequent occasions, the couple fall in love. When the Republican presidential hopeful Senator Bob Rumson (Richard Dreyfuss) learns "the President's got a girlfriend," he steps up his attacks on Shepherd and Wade, focusing on Wade's activist past and maligning Shepherd's ethics and his family values. The President refuses to respond to these attacks, which drives his approval ratings lower and costs him crucial political support, without which his crime bill seems doomed to failure. At the White House Christmas Party, Wade is dejected about her meeting that day with three Congressmen from Michigan about the environmental bill and how it was a dismal failure; in the process, she inadvertently mentions to the President and A.J. that the Congressmen in question said the only bill they were more interested in defeating than the President's crime bill was Wade's environmental bill. Shepherd and A.J. are conflicted by this information as Wade clearly had no idea of the implications of this casual conversation, much less that they might actually use this information in their favor and against her environmental bill. Eventually, Wade does manage to get enough votes to meet her part of the deal. However, in the meantime, Shepherd's team discovers he is exactly three votes short, with no other apparent options to acquire them except by shelving the environmental bill, thus solidifying the support of the three Congressmen from Michigan—which he agrees to do. This results in disaster for Wade as she is immediately fired from her lobbyist job for failing to achieve her objectives, as well as seemingly jeopardizing her political reputation. She visits the White House to break up with Shepherd and says that she has a job possibility in Hartford, Connecticut. He tells her politics is making choices, his number-one has always been the crime control bill, and that he does not want to lose her over this. She congratulates him on getting the leverage to pass a crime bill that in no way will help fight crime. She concludes, "Mr. President, you have bigger problems than losing me—you've just lost my vote." On the morning that he is to deliver his State of the Union Address, and after an argument with A.J., Shepherd makes a surprise appearance in the White House press room and rebuts Rumson's attacks on Wade's past and his own values and character. He declares he will send the controversial environmental bill to Congress with a massive 20% cut in fossil fuels—far more than the 10% originally envisioned—and that he is withdrawing his support for the weak crime bill, promising to write a stronger one in due time. In his speech he even promises gun control, in an attempt at root-and-branch solving of America's problems. His passionate and erudite defense of those things in which he believes, in contrast to his earlier passive behavior, galvanizes the press and his staff. Shepherd declares he is "going over to her house and I'm not leaving until I get her back," but Wade enters the Oval Office before he can leave. The couple are reconciled and the President, accompanied by Wade, leaves to give his State of the Union Address. The movie ends with Shepherd entering the House chamber to thunderous applause. Question: Who does Sydney Ellen Wade work for? Answer:

An environmental lobbying firm.

Passage: The film is set in Los Angeles, where drug kingpin Judah Earl (Richard Brooks) has mechanic Ashe Corven (Vincent PĂŠrez) and his eight-year-old son Danny (Eric Acosta) killed after they witness a gang of Judah's thugs murdering a fellow drug dealer. Sarah from the first film (Mia Kirshner) is now an adult, working in a tattoo parlor by day, and painting surreal images of death and resurrection in her apartment at night. She is haunted by disturbing dreams about Ashe and Danny, and after a day's work in the tattoo parlor, Sarah is visited in her apartment by a large crow as she contemplates a ring that Eric Draven gave her years before. Sarah follows the crow to the harbor at night on All Saints' Day, and witnesses Ashe's resurrection and frantic escape from his watery grave. She takes him to her apartment. When Sarah tells Ashe he is dead, he panics and runs screaming into the night, ending up at his own home, where he relives the final moments of his life. Sarah arrives there to find Ashe brooding, and she explains to him why he has been resurrected by the Crow so he can take revenge against the criminals who killed him and Danny. With the guidance of the crow, Ashe starts killing Judah's henchmen, one by one. Ashe first visits Spider-Monkey (Vincent Castellanos) in a drug warehouse and interrogates him as to who else was involved in the murders. Ashe then kills him by blowing up the building. Another of Judah's lackeys, Nemo (Thomas Jane), is spending the night at a peeping booth. Ashe appears in the booth, kills him, and leaves him with a doll stuffed in his pants, and a paper crow in his mouth. Judah has in his employ a blind prophetess named Sybil (Tracey Ellis) who is able to ascertain Ashe's link to Sarah and to the crow that is the source of his powers. Judah captures Sarah in order to draw Ashe to him and steal his power. One of the murderers, Kali (Thuy Trang), goes to Sarah's apartment to draw Ashe out. While battling her, Ashe realizes that Kali is the one who killed Danny; enraged, he throws her against a wall that breaks her leg, and then out a window, leaving a crow-shaped blood pattern. Ashe then pursues Judah's right-hand-man, Curve (Iggy Pop), in a motorcycle chase. Ashe shoots Curve's motorcycle, which blows up and throws Curve onto the road. Ashe then drags Curve into the nearby river, leaving him to die as local parishioners cast down flower petals in the shape of a crow. On the day of the annual Day of the Dead festival. Judah captures the crow and impales its wings with knives before killing it. He then ingests the crow's blood, stealing Ashe's power. Suddenly mortal, Ashe nearly dies from the shock, but is revived after seeing a vision of Danny telling him to keep fighting. Ashe must now attempt to rescue Sarah by seeking out Judah in his lair, an abandoned church. Judah gets the best of the weakened Ashe in the ensuing fight. Judah ties a rope around Ashe and savagely whips him, intending to hang him. Sarah rushes up and stabs Judah in the forehead, causing Judah to drop Ashe. Judah pulls out the knife and starts moving toward Ashe. Sarah gets in the way, and Judah stabs her in the stomach. Ashe gets up and impales Judah on a metal pipe, but this does not kill Judah either. While Judah is still impaled, Ashe calls upon a murder of crows, which devour Judah. Sarah dies in Ashe's arms, a tableau reminiscent of a painting she had completed earlier in the film. Ashe returns to death, knowing that he can rest in peace with Sarah, and his son. Question: What information does Ashe gain from Spider-Monkey? Answer:

The names of the other people who were involved in the murder.

Passage: In 1967, a pregnant woman is attacked by a vampire while giving birth. Doctors are able to save her baby, but the woman dies of infection. Thirty-one years later, the child has become the vampire hunter Blade. He raids a rave club owned by the vampire Deacon Frost. Police take one of the vampires to the hospital, where he feeds on hematologist Karen Jenson and escapes. Blade takes Karen to a safe house where she is treated by his old friend Abraham Whistler. Whistler explains that he and Blade have been waging a secret war against vampires using weapons based on their elemental weaknesses, such as sunlight and silver. As Karen is now "marked" by the bite of a vampire, both he and Blade tell her to leave the city. Meanwhile, at a meeting of vampire elders, Frost, the leader of a faction of younger vampires, is rebuked for trying to incite war between vampires and humans. As Frost and his kind were not born as vampires and are therefore not pure-bloods, they are considered socially inferior. In response, Frost has one of the elders executed and strips the others of their authority. Upon returning to her apartment, Karen is attacked by a policeman, who is a "familiar", a human slave controlled by a vampire. Blade subdues the familiar and uses information from him to locate an archive of vampire history. Later, at the hideout, Blade injects himself with a special serum that prevents him from succumbing to his desire to drink blood, which would ultimately turn him into a vampire. However, the serum is beginning to lose its effectiveness due to overuse. While experimenting with the anticoagulant EDTA as a possible replacement, Karen discovers that it explodes when combined with vampire blood. She manages to synthesize a vaccine that can cure the infected, but learns that it will not work on a human-vampire hybrid like Blade. Frost and his men attack the hideout, infect Whistler, and abduct Karen. When Blade returns, he helps Whistler commit suicide and arms himself with special syringes filled with EDTA. When Blade attempts to rescue Karen from Frost's penthouse, he finds that his mother is one of Frost's followers. He is subdued and taken to the Temple of Eternal Night, where Frost plans to perform the summoning ritual for La Magra, the vampire blood god. Blade is drained of his blood, but Karen allows him to drink from her, triggering his vampirism. Frost completes the ritual and obtains the powers of La Magra. Blade kills all of Frost's minions, including his mother, and confronts him. During their fight, Blade injects Frost with all of the syringes, causing his body to explode. Karen offers to help Blade cure himself, but he asks her to create a new serum instead. In a brief epilogue, Blade kills a group of Russian vampires. Question: How does Blade kill frost? Answer:

Injects him with the syringes.

Kicked off by Audi, the system aims to end the frustration of missing the arrival of a package being delivered to home or work. Instead, Audi owners will be able to use their car as a shipping address for items ordered online. A pilot project to test the system is planned to take place in May in Munich. Using Audi's in-car communications system, Connect, DHL delivery drivers would track a customer's vehicle over a specified period of time and then use a digital access code to unlock the boot, the car maker said. This code would then expire as soon as the boot was shut. The deliveries will be available only to customers signed up for online retail service Amazon Prime. In March, the Federal Aviation Administration, which oversees US airspace, gave Amazon permission to carry out tests using unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, for its planned PrimeAir service. Summarize this passage.

Packages could soon be delivered to the boot of your Audi as part of a trial involving the car maker, Amazon and DHL.

By . Gavin Allen . UPDATED: . 15:44 EST, 18 December 2011 .

Strathclyde Police said the man's body was recovered from the Gadloch in Lenzie following an extensive search involving divers and a police helicopter.

The incident in central Scotland came after thermometers hit -5C in Eskdalemuir yesterday, and there were gloves and scarves abound as far south as Benson, where the temperature reached -4.7C . The surges of snow as we head towards December 25 had led some bookmakers to slash the odds of a white Christmas at the end of last week, with Ladbrokes offering a 3/1 chance that London will have snow on the big day, while the odds were 9/4 for Edinburgh and Glasgow.

'There is rain on the way and we are expecting a milder wind direction.

Britain is attempting to opt out of a European initiative allowing people to easily remove their details from online service providers such as Facebook. The controversial move has caused uproar among privacy campaigners, who today accused the government of blocking an 'essential move' The rule, known as the 'right to be forgotten' has been developed by the EU justice commissioners in the face of growing complaints about the way Facebook and other social media giants retain information. The British government is locked in a battle with Viviane Reding, European Information Society and Media Commissioner, over the rules governing how social networks delete data . Introducing the plans, Viviane Reding, the EU justice commissioner, said they are: 'A comprehensive set of existing and new rules to better cope with privacy risks online. 'When modernising the legislation, I want to explicitly clarify that people shall have the right – and not only the 'possibility' – to withdraw their consent to data processing. 'The burden of proof should be on data controllers – those who process your personal data. 'They must prove that they need to keep the data rather than individuals having to prove that collecting their data is not necessary.' In its . current form, which is not finalised, article 17 of the Data Protection Regulation provides for punitive fines – up to 2% of global turnover – . for companies that refuse to comply with requests to erase customers' personal details. Nick Pickles, director of privacy and civil liberties group Big Brother Watch, said: 'The right to be forgotten is a political sound bite that got out of control, but the idea behind it is an essential move. 'It’s absolutely right that for companies who do not legally need to keep data, if you leave a service you should be able to delete your data wherever it appears across that service. 'This change gives citizens that right.' Britain's objection to the EU move is that unrealistic expectations . will be created by the right's expansive title because the controls . proposed will be relatively modest in their impact on the way data . spreads, or is traded, across websites. Mr Pickles agreed with these concerns, but called for the bill to be saved. 'There are fair concerns about who is responsible for tracking down and deleting information if it has appeared on other services, but that is no reason to junk the whole proposal. 'Equally, it is critical that British citizens do not have weaker rights than people in other countries when we are dealing with international services. 'That creates needless complexity for individuals and businesses so I hope the detail can be worked out to ensure proper protections that are feasible and will not cripple small businesses.” Viviane Reding, the EU justice commissioner, said: 'At present a citizen . can request deletion only if data is incomplete or incorrect. The rules were proposed following a slew of complaints against sites such as Mark Zuckerberg's (pictured) Facebook . 'We want . to extend this right to make it stronger in this internet world. The . burden of proof shall be on the companies, they will have to show that . data is needed.' She described the legislation as 'One of the biggest market-openers of the . last few years.' The Ministry of Justice said: 'The UK does not support the right to be forgotten as . proposed by the European commission. The title raises unrealistic and . unfair expectations of the proposals. 'We are also concerned about potentially impossible requirements for . data controllers to manage third-party erasure; the "reasonable steps" required by the draft regulation would promise much, but deliver . little.'

She had 55 bags and restocked 132 after selling some, so if she had not sold any, she would have a total of 55+132 = <<55+132=187>>187 bags However she now has 164 bags, so she must have sold off 187-164 = <<187-164=23>>23 bags The answer is 23.

Question: The ratio of boys to girls in a classroom is 3:5. If there are 4 more girls than boys, how many students are in the classroom? Answer:

Since the ratio of boys to girls is 3:5, then the class is divided into 3 + 5 = <<3+5=8>>8 parts. The girls have 5 - 3 = <<5-3=2>>2 parts more than the boys. Since 2 parts are equal to 4, then 1 part is equal to 4/2 = 2 students. Hence, there are 8 parts x 2 = <<8*2=16>>16 students. The answer is 16.

Question: The pet store can buy a goldfish for $.25 and sell it for $.75. The owner plans to use the profits from goldfish sales to buy a new tank, which costs $100. After one week, he is 45% short of the price. How many goldfish did he sell that week? Answer:

He is $45 short because 100 x .45 = <<100*.45=45>>45 He earned $55 off goldfish because 100 - 45 = <<100-45=55>>55 He makes $.5 profit per goldfish because .75 - .25 = <<.75-.25=.5>>.5 He sold 110 goldfish that week because 55 / .5 = <<55/.5=110>>110 The answer is 110.

Question: Ian used a grocery delivery app to have his groceries delivered. His original order was $25 before delivery and tip. He noticed that 3 items changed on his order.

Delivery and tip came to a total of $8.00. How much is his new bill now, with the food substitutes and delivery/tip? Answer:

He ordered a can of tomatoes for $0.99 but they subbed with one that cost $2.20 for a difference of 2.20-.99 = $<<2.20-.99=1.21>>1.21 He ordered lettuce for $1.00 but they subbed with one that cost $1.75 for a difference of 1.75-1.00 = $<<1.75-1.00=0.75>>0.75 His celery for $1.96 but they subbed with one that cost $2.00 for a difference of 2.00-1.96 = $0.04 That's an additional charge of 1.21+.75+.04 = $<<1.21+.75+.04=2.00>>2.00 in groceries His additional charges of $2.00 and the delivery/tip of $8.00 add 2+8 = $<<2+8=10.00>>10.00 to the order His original order was $25 and they added $10.00 so his new order is 25+10 = $<<25+10=35.00>>35.00 The answer is 35.
