Question: Arthur wants to sell his basketball card collection and use the money to buy comic books. The store owner tells him that each card is worth 5 cents and comic books cost $6 each. If Arthur sells all 2,000 cards of his and buys as many comic books as he can, how much money does he have leftover? Answer: Arthur makes $100 because .05 x 2000 = <<.05*2000=100>>100 Arthur can buy 16 comic books because 100 / 6= 16 and (2/3) The comic books cost $96 because 16 x 6 = <<16*6=96>>96 He has $4 leftover because 100 - 96 = <<100-96=4>>4 The answer is 4.

Passage: Mookie (Spike Lee) is a 25-year-old black man living in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn with his sister, Jade (Joie Lee). He and his girlfriend Tina (Rosie Perez) have a son. He's a pizza delivery man at the local pizzeria, but lacks ambition. Sal (Danny Aiello), the pizzeria's Italian-American owner, has been in the neighborhood for twenty-five years. His older son Pino (John Turturro) intensely dislikes blacks, and does not get along with Mookie. Pino is at odds with his younger brother Vito (Richard Edson), who is friendly with Mookie. The neighborhood is full of distinct personalities, including Da Mayor (Ossie Davis), a friendly local drunk; Mother Sister (Ruby Dee), who watches the neighborhood from her brownstone; Radio Raheem (Bill Nunn), who blasts Public Enemy on his boombox wherever he goes; and Smiley (Roger Guenveur Smith), a mentally disabled man, who meanders around the neighborhood trying to sell hand-colored pictures of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. While at Sal's, Mookie's trouble-making b-boyish friend, Buggin' Out (Giancarlo Esposito), questions Sal about his "Wall of Fame", a wall decorated with photos of famous Italian-Americans. Buggin' Out demands that Sal put up pictures of black celebrities since Sal's pizzeria is in a black neighborhood. Sal replies that he doesn't need to feature anyone but Italians as it is his restaurant. Buggin' Out attempts to start a protest over the Wall of Fame. Only Radio Raheem and Smiley support him. During the day, the heat and tensions begin to rise. The local teenagers open a fire hydrant and douse the street, before police officers intervene. Mookie and Pino begin arguing over race, which leads to a series of scenes in which the characters spew racial insults into the camera. Pino and Sal talk about the neighborhood, with Pino expressing his hatred, and Sal insisting that he is not leaving. Sal almost fires Mookie, but Jade intervenes, before Mookie confronts her for being too close to Sal. That night, Buggin' Out, Radio Raheem, and Smiley march into Sal's and demand that Sal change the Wall of Fame. Raheem's boombox is blaring and Sal demands that they turn the radio off, but they refuse. Buggin' Out says they're closing down the pizzeria for good until they change the Wall of Fame. Sal, in a fit of frustration, tells him he will "tear his nigger ass," then destroys the boombox with a baseball bat. Raheem attacks Sal, leading to a huge violent fight that spills out into the street, attracting a crowd. While Radio Raheem is choking Sal, the police arrive. They break up the fight and apprehend Radio Raheem and Buggin' Out. One officer refuses to release his chokehold on Raheem, killing him. Realizing they have killed Raheem in front of onlookers, the officers place his body in the back of a squad car, and drive off, leaving Sal, Pino, and Vito unprotected. The onlookers, enraged about Radio Raheem's death, blame Sal and his sons. Mookie grabs a trash can and throws it through the window of Sal's pizzeria, sparking the crowd to rush into the restaurant and destroy it, with Smiley finally setting it on fire. Da Mayor pulls Sal, Pino, and Vito out of the mob's way. Firemen and riot patrols arrive to put out the fire and disperse the crowd. After police issue a warning, the firefighters turn their hoses on the rioters, leading to more fighting and arrests. Mookie and Jade sit on the curb, watching in disbelief. Smiley wanders back into the smoldering building and hangs one of his pictures on what is left of Sal's Wall of Fame. The next day, after having an argument with Tina, Mookie returns to Sal, who feels that Mookie betrayed him. Mookie demands his weekly pay, leading to an argument, before they cautiously reconcile, and Sal finally pays him. Mister Se単or Love Daddy (Samuel L. Jackson), a local DJ, dedicates a song to Raheem. The film ends with two quotations expressing opposite views about violence, one from Martin Luther King and one from Malcolm X, before fading to a photograph of them shaking hands. Question: What does Sal do when Buggin' Out, Raheem, and Smiley refuse to turn down Raheem's radio? Answer: Sal destroys the boombox with a baseball bat.

(CNN) -- Connecticut's governor says he will sign a bill abolishing the death penalty, making it the 17th state to abandon capital punishment. On Wednesday night, lawmakers in Connecticut's House of Representatives passed the bill by a vote of 86-63. The state Senate approved it last week. "I'm pleased the House passed the bill, and when it gets to my desk I will sign it," said Gov. Dannel Malloy, a Democrat. "When I sign this bill, Connecticut will join 16 other states and almost every other industrialized nation in moving toward what I believe is better public policy." Malloy did not say when his office will receive the bill. Connecticut's move continues a national trend toward the abolition of capital punishment. In the past five years, four states have done so. State lawmakers in Connecticut first tried to pass a similar bill in 2009 -- but were ultimately blocked by then-Gov. Jodi Rell, a Republican. Capital punishment has existed in the state since its colonial days. But the state was forced to review its death penalty laws beginning in 1972, when a Supreme Court decision required greater consistency in its application. A moratorium was then imposed until a 1976 court decision upheld the constitutionality of capital punishment. Since then, Connecticut juries have handed down 15 death sentences. Of those, only one person has actually been executed, according to the Death Penalty Information Center, a nonpartisan group that studies death penalty laws. Michael Ross, a convicted serial killer, was put to death by lethal injection in 2005 after he voluntarily gave up his appeals. The state currently has 11 people on death row. The bill, however, is prospective in nature, meaning that it would not apply to those already sentenced to death. Advocates of a repeal say Connecticut's current law keeps inmates on death row for extended periods of time, who are often engaged in multiple appeals, and presents taxpayers with far larger costs than if the convict were placed in the general prison population serving a life sentence. They also point to instances in which wrongful convictions have been overturned with new investigative methods, including forensic testing. Opponents of the repeal commonly argue that capital punishment serves as a criminal deterrent, offering justice for victims and their families. In the last five years, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Illinois have repealed the death penalty. California voters will decide the issue in November. The other non-death penalty states are Alaska, Hawaii, Iowa, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. Summarize this article. State House of Representatives passes the bill 86-63 . "When it gets to my desk I will sign it," governor says . Connecticut would be 5th state in 5 years to abolish capital punishment .

(CNN) -- Let the flapless among us take heart. "Flappy Bird," the now defunct mobile sensation, will one day rise like a phoenix and fling itself awkwardly into an app store near you. Dong Nguyen, the creator of the infuriatingly addictive and deceptively difficult mobile game confirmed as much early Wednesday on Twitter. Responding to a tweet Dong sent last month, a follower directly asked if he plans to ever make the game available again. "Yes," Nguyen replied. "But not soon." That's an about-face from last month, when Nguyen, in a rare interview, told Forbes that "Flappy Bird" was "gone forever." Originally released last May, "Flappy Bird" had largely languished before a surge in popularity, starting around December, that would see it become the most downloaded app in both Apple's App Store and the Google Play store for Android devices. At the time of its demise, "Flappy Bird" had an average four-star rating from more than 543,000 reviews in the Apple App Store and 228,000 on Android. Many of the reviews were lengthy, tongue-in-cheek tales of time lost, marriages ended and people going cuckoo after playing the game. At the time, Nguyen said he was afraid that what he'd intended to be a simple pastime had gotten out of control and become "addictive" to some users. The Vietnamese developer, who has stayed largely out of the spotlight, had also come under intense scrutiny, with some accusing him (without evidence, it should be noted) of using bots to artificially inflate the game's app-store rankings. People who had already downloaded the app didn't lose it, but those who hadn't were out of luck. And so, we wait. In the mean time, Dot Gears, Nguyen's studio, has two other games available for download -- "Shuriken Block" and "Super Ball Juggling." And he promises more to come -- probably before we see "Flappy Bird" again. Or you could just busy yourself with one of the multitude of "Flappy Bird" clones, which continue to flood app stores at insane rates. Summarize this article. 'Flappy Bird' creator say game will come back to app stores . Dong Nguyen pulled game last month . Nguyen said it will be back but "not soon"

Question: Two siblings, Eman and Frank, agreed to buy a new computer table, computer chair, and a joystick. The computer table costs $140, the computer chair costs $100, and the joystick costs $20. Eman agreed to pay for the computer chair while Frank agreed to pay for the computer table. Then Frank agreed to pay 1/4 of the price of the joystick and the rest will be paid by Eman. How much more money will Frank spend than Eman? Answer: Frank will pay $20 x 1/4 = $<<20*1/4=5>>5 for the joystick. Eman will pay $20 - $5 = $<<20-5=15>>15 for the joystick. So, Frank will pay a total of $140 + $5 = $<<140+5=145>>145. While Eman will pay a total of $100 + $15 = $<<100+15=115>>115. Therefore, Frank will spend $145 - $115 = $<<145-115=30>>30 more than Eman. The answer is 30.

Question: It costs $.10 to print one page. Jenny wants to print 7 copies of her 25-page essay. She also wants to buy 7 pens that each cost $1.50. If she pays the store with 2 twenty dollar bills, how much money should she get in change? Answer: Jenny needs to print 7*25= <<7*25=175>>175 pages. This will cost 175*$.10 =$<<175*.10=17.5>>17.5. The pens will cost 7*$1.50=$<<7*1.5=10.50>>10.50. In total, she will spend $17.5+$10.5=$<<17.5+10.5=28>>28. Since she pays with 2 twenty dollar bills she pays with 2*20=<<2*20=40>>40 dollars. Thus, she will get $40-$28=$<<40-28=12>>12 in change. The answer is 12.

New Delhi (CNN) -- When I left India to move to America 13 years ago, the President of the United States was George W. Bush, a man who was often internationally lampooned for mismanaging two wars and tainting Washington's image abroad. But moving back to India this month, I've been struck by the number of Indians who look back wistfully at the Bush years. For Indians, Bush is considered a better friend than President Barack Obama. In fact, right now, Indians don't see Obama as much of a friend at all. It didn't start off that way. In the early days of his presidency, in 2009, Obama marked India's Republic Day by saying Indians "have no better friend" than the people of the United States. A year later, when he visited New Delhi, he famously predicted India and the U.S. would form "the defining partnership of the 21st century." At the time, Obama won Indian hearts and minds as he chowed down kebabs at the city's famous Bukhara restaurant. The chefs created a special platter that exists to this day -- the Obama platter. (There was already a Bill Clinton platter, as well as a Hillary one.) Today, the platters have gone cold: New Delhi feels jilted. Instead of a defining partnership, Indians couldn't quite define where they stood. Talk of a G-2 -- a U.S. mega-alliance with China, an idea which didn't come from Obama -- inflamed old feelings of jealousy. Washington's impending pullout from Afghanistan, along with its generous aid to Pakistan, has stoked angst. But the real low point was reached late last year when an Indian diplomat in New York was arrested and then strip-searched for allegedly underpaying her nanny. Obama likely had no prior knowledge of the case or the arrest, but still, the perceived American high-handedness turned out to be too much for India to digest. New Delhi revoked privileges to U.S. interests in the country, and across India, there were anti-American protests. Regardless of the merits of the dispute, Indians wondered: If they had no better friend, was this the treatment they deserved? The sense of betrayal is mutual. Washington feels let down, too -- and with some good reason. When Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine this year, India chose not to side with the United States but to abstain on a U.N. General Assembly resolution against the Russian action. (Russia is, incidentally, India's largest supplier of arms.) When Washington sought to coalesce support for stringent sanctions against Iran, the surprise spoiler turned out to be New Delhi, which said it needed Iranian oil. What happened to what was promised to be a close friendship between the world's two biggest democracies? One could look to history for answers. Since its independence in 1947, India -- scarred by centuries of invasions and interventions -- has been a reluctant global player. Its first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru, co-founded the Non-Aligned Movement, a group of nations that aspired to steer clear of great powers and their geopolitics. But 67 years on from its creation, India is now itself an aspiring great power, already among the top 10 economies in the world. Indian diplomats routinely express their hopes for India to become a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, joining the ranks of Russia, the United States, China, France and the United Kingdom. And yet India's foreign policy has remained aloof, lagging well behind its growth. The country has about the same number of diplomats abroad as Singapore, a country with a population 1/250th of India's. The United States, with a population one quarter of India's, has 10 times as many diplomats. How can India make or maintain friendships when it has always stayed at home? Instead of the past, Indians and Americans should look to the future and the potential it could bring. A recent Pew survey shows that despite recent troubles, Indians trust and like America. For every Indian expressing an unfavorable view of the U.S., four Indians are favorable. By another four-to-one margin, Indians say the U.S. is the world's leading economic power, not China. By a margin of 21 percentage points, Indians are more favorable to the United States than China. The data should not be surprising. India and the United States have more in common than they have differences. One may be a parliamentary system, the other presidential, but both celebrate and cherish democracy, however chaotic and frustrating it can be. At any given time, nearly 100,000 Indians pursue degrees in the United States. Many of them stay on and contribute to American society and business. Strategically, as Washington competes for influence in Asia with China, it will find a natural ally in New Delhi. Obama's early rhetoric was spot-on: The two countries share common ideals. But can they share a friendship and nurture it? Both sides need to take a long, hard look at the world around them and wonder what kind of role they want to play and who can help them do it. As Indians head to the polls Monday to elect a new government, foreign policy is not a campaign issue. It rarely is anywhere. People tend to vote for the things that tangibly impact them: the economy, taxes, infrastructure, education, health care. But whether Indians realize it or not, the next few weeks could offer a chance to rejuvenate a troubled relationship. Whoever India's next Prime Minister is, he or she has an opportunity to start afresh with the United States. Washington has already opened a door to this, suggesting that Narendra Modi, the current favorite for PM, will be allowed a U.S. visa. Modi was denied one in 2005 for his alleged complicity in Hindu-Muslim riots 12 years ago. More than 1,000 Muslims were killed. Modi was chief minister of Gujarat at the time, the state in which the riots took place. The last time Washington tried to hit the reset button -- with Russia -- things went awry. But the stakes are too high to not try again. If it gets this one right, Obama will be vindicated: This century's defining alliance may yet be the one between the two biggest democracies in the world. Summarize this article. President Obama predicted U.S.-India friendship would be defining alliance of 21st century . India and U.S. have been at odds over Crimea and Iran, says Ravi Agrawal . India blames the U.S. for the arrest of diplomat whose nanny complained of exploitation . Agrawal: U.S. needs to hit reset button and take advantage of elections to patch up relations .

Q: The construction of Solomon's temple includes a piece of furnishing described in 1 Kings 7:23 (ESV): Then he made the sea of cast metal. It was round, ten cubits from brim to brim, and five cubits high, and a line of thirty cubits measured its circumference. So if the ```diameter = 10``` cubits and the ```circumference = 30``` cubits, then ```π = 3``` by the equation ```C = π * D```. Of course, such an object does not exist since ```π = 3.14159...``` yet clearly the sea was constructed at some point. So how do we resolve this contradiction? A: To start with, compare the circle the diameter we're given would make with the circle the circumference we're given would make: Since a circumference is π times the diameter, a 'pure' circle of 10 cubits in diameter as we describe the sea as having would be 10π cubits in circumference, or roughly 31.4 cubits. Now, since the circumference attributed to our sea is only 30 cubits, it represents a smaller circle, which is 30/π or roughly 9.55 cubits in diameter. Or to tabulate it: ```Circle A: ~9.55 cubits diameter, 30 cubits circumference Circle B: 10 cubits diameter, ~31.4 cubits circumference ``` Given that, we have two diameters differing by about .45 cubits (about eight inches on an 18-inch cubit--a sizable difference). Since we know the sea was a physical object and not a circle bounded by an infinitesimal line, we can safely understand that the sea must be of some thickness; on this ground, it would not be unreasonable to take the shorter dimension as the inner measurement, and the longer dimension as the outer measurement, and see where that takes us. Dividing the difference in the diameters in half, this would make the wall around our sea at least .225 cubits thick--i.e., about four inches on either end of the sea, assuming an eighteen-inch cubit. Do we have any authority for assuming that this is the case and saying the sea was anything like four inches thick? A couple of verses after this we have 1 Kings 7:26, which gives it to us outright: Its thickness was a handbreadth, and its brim was made like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily. It held two thousand baths. A handbreadth as a unit of measurement is generally given as between three and four inches. (The 'Number Pi in the Bible' site linked elsewhere gives as its rebuttal to this sort of argument the statement "The writer makes sure that no question remains: both the diameter and the circumference are taken over-all." - though I'm not sure on what basis he sees that.)

Passage: As children, Sammy and Terry Prescott lost their parents to a car accident. Years later, Sammy (Laura Linney), a single mother and lending officer at a bank, still lives in her childhood home in Scottsville, New York, while Terry (Mark Ruffalo) has drifted around the country, scraping by and getting in and out of trouble. After months of no communication with his sister, Terry is desperate for money, so he comes to visit her and her son Rudy (Rory Culkin) who are excited about reuniting with him. Sammy lends him the money, which he mails back to his girlfriend. After the girlfriend attempts suicide, he decides to extend his stay with his sister, which she welcomes. For a school writing assignment, Rudy imagines his absent father as a fantastic hero. Sammy only gives him vague descriptions of the truth while Terry lets his feelings be known about Rudy Sr.'s abandonment. Sammy rekindles a relationship with an old boyfriend, but is surprised when he proposes to her after a short time. She needs time to consider it. At the bank, the new manager, Brian (Matthew Broderick), tries to make his mark with unusual demands about computer color schemes and daily timesheets. He is particularly tough on Sammy, requesting that she make arrangements for someone else to pick up her son from the school bus rather than leaving work. After some minor arguments, they end up having an affair, despite Brian's wife's being six months pregnant. Terry grows close to Rudy during their time together. Yet he pushes the limits of Sammy's parental control during a late-night game of pool at a bar. She turns to her minister (Kenneth Lonergan) to counsel Terry about his outlook on life. While Terry resists his sister's advice, he stays on good terms with his nephew. Realizing her own questionable decisions, Sammy turns down her boyfriend's marriage proposal and breaks off her relationship with Brian. After a day of fishing, Terry and Rudy decide to visit Rudy Sr. in the town of Auburn. Confronted by his past, Rudy Sr. (Josh Lucas) is incensed, leading Terry to assault him and get arrested. Sammy brings her brother and son home and asks Terry to move out, which he does the next day. He plans to go back to Alaska and scoffs at Sammy's suggestion to remain in town and get his life back on track. While at first it appears the separation will be another heartache, they reconcile before Terry leaves, coming to terms with their respective lifestyles. Question: Where is Terry and Sammy's childhood home? Answer: Scottsville, New York

Passage: The story begins with a song which serves as prologue; and then prose takes up the narrative, telling how Aucassin, son of Count Garin of Beaucaire, so loved Nicolette, a Saracen maiden, who had been sold to the Viscount of Beaucaire, baptized and adopted by him, that he had forsaken knighthood and chivalry and even refused to defend his father's territories from enemies. Accordingly, his father ordered the Viscount to send Nicolette away, but the Viscount locked her in a tower of his palace instead. Aucassin is imprisoned by his father to prevent him from going after his beloved Nicolette. But Nicolette escapes, hears Aucassin lamenting in his cell, and comforts him with sweet words. She flees to the forest outside the gates, and there, in order to test Aucassin's fidelity, builds a rustic home to await his arrival. When he is released from prison, Aucassin hears from shepherd lads of Nicolette's hiding-place, and seeks her bower. The lovers, united, resolve to leave the country. They board a ship and are driven to the (fictional) kingdom of "Torelore", whose king they find in child-bed, while the queen is with the army. After a three years' stay in Torelore they are captured by Saracen pirates and separated. Contrary winds blow Aucassin's boat back to Beaucaire, where he succeeds to Garin's estate, while Nicolette is carried to "Cartage" (perhaps a play on Carthage or Cartagena). The sight of the city reminds her that she is the daughter of its king, and a royal marriage is planned for her. But she avoids this by disguising herself in a minstrel's garb and sets sail for Beaucaire to rejoin her beloved Aucassin. There, before Aucassin who does not immediately recognize her, she sings of her own adventures, and in due time makes herself known to him. Question: Who tells Aucassin where to find Nicolette when he is released from prison? Answer: Shelpard lads

Passage: Electronics deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes, sensors and integrated circuits, and associated passive interconnection technologies. The nonlinear behaviour of active components and their ability to control electron flows makes digital switching possible, and electronics is widely used in information processing, telecommunications, and signal processing. Interconnection technologies such as circuit boards, electronics packaging technology, and other varied forms of communication infrastructure complete circuit functionality and transform the mixed components into a regular working system. Today, most electronic devices use semiconductor components to perform electron control. The underlying principles that explain how semiconductors work are studied in solid state physics, whereas the design and construction of electronic circuits to solve practical problems are part of electronics engineering. Question: Extract interconnection technologies used to create a regular working system. \Answer: Interconnection technologies such as circuit boards, electronics packaging technology, and other varied forms of communication infrastructure complete circuit functionality and transform the mixed components into a regular working system.

Wendy Purcell, pictured, was suspended on full pay last summer after she commissioned seven custom-made chairs costing £95,000 . A university chief accused of wasteful spending has been allowed to return to work on her full £250,000 salary despite having her role drastically downgraded. Professor Wendy Purcell was suspended as vice-chancellor of Plymouth University after commissioning seven custom-made chairs costing £95,000. She was also criticised over a three-day trip to Miami, when she stayed in a luxury boutique hotel and spent £3,500 on business-class flights. Another report claimed she ran up a £15,000 expenses bill for first-class train travel. Miss Purcell was suspended on full pay last summer but returned to work as Plymouth’s vice-chancellor and president in November. However, she did not resume her duties running the university and it was announced last week that she is now president only, with her former deputy now the interim vice-chancellor. Despite her much reduced responsibilities, Freedom of Information requests from the Times Higher Education journal have revealed that Miss Purcell has returned to work on full pay. The university said: ‘The vice-chancellor’s present salary is £250,000, the same as in 2013/14.’ It refused to say whether Miss Purcell’s pay would be cut now she will not be vice-chancellor. Disclosures also show that the university has run up a £270,000 legal bill over the matter. The university did not reply to requests for a comment. The news will pile further pressure on Plymouth over its handling of several months of crisis. A second leading figure, retired judge William Taylor, resigned as university chairman last year amid allegations that he sexually harassed female colleagues. He denies the claims. The controversy over Miss Purcell includes claims she was responsible for initiating a project to commission seven hand-crafted ceremonial chairs – costing £13,500 each – to be used at graduation ceremonies. Prof Purcell is no longer the vice-chancellor of Plymouth University, pictured, but remains college president . She was part of a panel that selected designer John Makepeace to lead the project. But news of the £95,000 commission sparked anger among students and staff – despite the university’s insistence that the cost of the furniture would be met through fundraising. The university then said that ‘approval of the project was not sought from the University Executive nor the University Board’. It later said the vice-chancellor decided she wanted no further involvement with the project but ‘did not advise cancellation’. The Plymouth Herald newspaper reported that the university also spent £24,000 sending six staff, including Miss Purcell, on a three-day conference in Miami. It further reported that she had taken a first-class train journey on average once every eight days for three years on expenses. Summarize this article. Wendy Purcell was suspended after she commissioned chairs worth £95k . She was also criticised over taking business-class flights to Miami . She also spent £15,000 on first-class rail travel and claimed it on expenses . Prof Purcell continues to receive £250,000-a-year after her return to work . She returned to work in November as president and vice-chancellor . However, it has been announced that she is now only the president . Her deputy has been appointed the interim vice-chancellor .

What's the differences of the Wing Chun kongfu and the traditional Shaolin Kongfu? Answer: Wing chun was invented by a Buddhist nun who watched a snake and crane fighting. She adopted principles from both styles. She equated that to yin vs yang in terms of fighting style. It's all about economy of movement, small quick strikes and close quarters combat. It's meant to be effective for people of all ages and sizes and does not emphasize force. The crane stood there motionless and waded off the snakes quick strikes. It wasn't phased by the attacks. The posture and mindset of the crane and the quick strikes of the snake. Shaolin was developed to ward off invaders. Usually enemies riding horses so they do a lot of high jumping kicks which were used to kick people off horses. It's usually associated with tiger or dragon styles which can operate at more distance and use power. It's also very flashy and usedin demonstrations and many king fu movies . It's actually counterintuitive to many martial arts where you strike hard or from a distance and move around a lot ducking blocking etc. Wing chun is just small subtle blocks to divert attacks off center and then you strike back concurrently

(CNN) -- A Swedish political party dedicated to copyright reform and privacy rights says it has agreed to host several new servers for the whistle-blower website WikiLeaks. The Pirate Party said Tuesday it agreed to host the servers during a visit last weekend by WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. "The contribution of WikiLeaks is tremendously important to the entire world," Pirate Party leader Rick Falkvinge said in a statement on the group's site. "We desire to contribute to any effort that increases transparency and accountability of power in the world." By hosting WikiLeaks information on the party's computer servers, WikiLeaks information will be available to more web users. The party said it will host the information free of charge as part of its political mission. Assange welcomed the decision in a statement on the party's site. "Our organizations share many values, and I am looking forward to future ways we can help each other improve the world," he said. "We see more opportunities down the road in cooperating with the Pirate Party." The Pirate Party is pushing for representation in the Swedish and European parliaments on a three-point platform that includes reform of copyright law, to make all non-commercial use of copyrighted material free and to limit the terms of current copyrights; getting rid of the patent system; and tightening privacy rules. WikiLeaks sparked controversy last month by posting some 76,000 pages of U.S. documents related to the war in Afghanistan, in what was called the biggest leak since the Pentagon Papers about the Vietnam War. U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates criticized the leak, saying it would have a significant negative impact on troops and allies, revealing techniques and procedures. Assange has defended the leak by saying it can help shape the public's understanding of the war. He said the material was of no operational significance and that WikiLeaks tried to ensure the material did not put innocent people at risk. The Pirate Party said Wikileaks has been under "constant threat of being sabotaged by corrupt or abusive organisations trying to conceal the truth from the public." Summarize this article.

By . SIMON JONES . Barcelona and Arsenal have joined Manchester City in monitoring San Lorenzo forward Angel Correa. The 18-year-old has been compared to City striker Sergio Aguero in his style, although is yet to prove as prolific. Atletico Madrid have reportedly already had an offer rejected. Barcelona are also closing on a deal for Croatia starlet Alen Halilovic. The former Tottenham target has been the subject of increased bids from the Spanish champions as they look to groom a replacement for Xavi. Dinamo Zagreb want a deal worth £12m with add-ons. Wanted: San Lorenzo youngster Angel Correa is being tracked by many of Europe's top clubs . Compliment: Correa has been compared to Manchester City star Sergio Aguero . Catch him if you can: Correa (right) shows off the skill that has attracted Arsenal, among others . Hopeful players duped by fake agent scams . Fake agents have been luring footballers into paying out thousands of pounds in exchange for trials at Premier League clubs. Young players, particularly from Spain, . Africa and Australia have been duped in recent months by people posing . as other agents, scouts and club employees offering trials, contracts . and extra training at clubs such as Manchester City, Chelsea and . Liverpool. In exchange for £500, the players are . promised contact with the clubs and a help with necessary visas while . an extra £2,500 will help cover travel costs, medical fees and . insurance. One incident resulted in a 16-year-old boy arriving at Manchester Airport unaccompanied to await a club representative who never turned up as they knew nothing of any proposed deal. Although such dealings are not new to the game, they do seem to be on the increase as fraudsters sense a financial gain. The cases are now being investigated by International Centre for Sports Security (ICSS), based in Doha, Qatar, who have raised the issue with the Premier League. They have circulated an alert to all licensed football agents which outlines how players have been contacted via Facebook and social media and particularly file sharing sites where players upload videos of themselves playing football. So far, ICSS say clubs that have been unwittingly used include Hull City, Stoke, Sunderland, Bursaspor and LA Galaxy as well as the three Champions League contenders in Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool. Fake documents with forged signatures have been uncovered and bank accounts traced to England, USA and Ukraine. An ICSS statement said: 'If players have any doubts they should contact the relevant clubs, check their official websites for contact details and phone them direct. Clubs will not contact you via Facebook, Linked In, Twitter. They are not likely to use Hotmail, Gmail or Yahoo email accounts. If they contact you it will only be by using their official email.' Beckham trains at United's HQ Beckham was back at Manchester United last week. Not David but Brooklyn. The 14-year-old spent a few days during the October half-term training at United's Carrington HQ and took advantage of last week's school holidays to make a return. Brooklyn, who has been playing with Fulham's academy this season and has had training spells with Chelsea and QPR, spent two days at Carrington again last week as he joined up with United's Under 15s. United are on a push to bring in more young talent as well as at first-team level but, at this stage, Brooklyn is only training with the boys of his age group. Happy family: Doting dad David Beckham (centre) with his son Brooklyn (centre left) Old Trafford legend: Beckham has gone down in United lore after his trophy-laden time with the club . A keen United fan, he was spotted with his father David at Stamford Bridge last month as the family watched the Red Devils lose 3-1 at Chelsea. David wasn't around to accompany Brooklyn at Carrington last week but has been keen to play down the expectation on his eldest son when discussing his prospects. Talking to ITV's Jonathan Ross show in December, he said: 'The unfortunate thing for the boys is, any time they go and have a kick about with the youth team at Chelsea or at Fulham, or even their Sunday league teams, people say "They've signed for them." Or ''They're going to be playing for them." 'And that's quite a lot of pressure on them as young kids. And they're just training at the moment. They're enjoying themselves, they're not signed with anyone, they're just enjoying playing football.' Everton are keen on Colback . Everton remain among clubs interested in Sunderland's Jack Colback, who has rejected the latest contract offer from the club. The 24-year-old and team-mate Phil Bardsley have both been made fresh offers but want to take stock of their options at the end of the season. Sunderland are keen to keep the duo and will make a revised offer next month when they hope to have a clearer indication of their Premier League status, although that could yet go down to the final day of the season. Sunderland expect to lose Sebastian Larsson and Craig Gardner with Larsson, 28, an option for several Premier League sides including Stoke. Gardner is an option for Leicester also. Stoke, meanwhile, have missed out on Hoffenheim's USA defender Fabian Johnson. The 26-year-old is joining Borussia Monchengladbach on a free in the summer. Challenge: Jack Colback (left) tackles Jack Wilshere during Sunderland's 4-1 defeat at Arsenal on Saturday . Wigan target McAleny and TunnicliffeWigan manager Uwe Rosler is keen to sign Everton striker Conor McAleny and is competing with Ipswich Town to sign Ryan Tunnicliffe on loan from Fulham. McAleny, 21, impressed Rosler when on loan at Brentford at the start of this season. The Liverpool-born forward broke his leg in only his fourth game yet has battled back to fitness and Rosler is keen to give him a chance in the Championship. Tunnicliffe only moved to Fulham from Manchester United in January but could be surplus to requirements under Felix Magath. Rosler and Mick McCarthy are keen to take him on loan. Wigan are prepared to let defender Ivan Ramis go out on loan also after the collapse of proposed moves to Cardiff and Crystal Palace. Surplus to requirements? Ryan Tunnicliffe (left) could be on his way out of Fulham . Leeds and Bolton eye MoxeyCrystal Palace defender Dean Moxey is wanted by Bolton and Leeds United. Manager Tony Pulis is willing to let the 28-year-old left back go out on loan even though he has figured in 20 games this season. Moxey has competition from Jonathan Parr, who Bolton also like, with manager Dougie Freedman knowing them well from his time at Palace. However, Leeds' new owners are also looking to push on for promotion and are keen to help Brian McDermott by adding Premier League quality to his squad. Inter close on Vidic as United weigh up striker options . Inter Milan hope to finalise the smaller details of Nemanja Vidic's contract by the end of this week and remain keen on Patrice Evra, too. United assistant Phil Neville watched Porto's Eliaquim Mangala last week but staff still have reservations the centre back is worth his £37m valuation. They have also considered Jan Vertonghen at Tottenham. United remain hopeful of signing Borussia Dortmund's Ilkay Gundogan, as reported by MailOnline . last month, and are weighing up strikers with PSG's Edinson Cavani, . Atletico's Diego Costa, Mario Mandzukic at Bayern and Luciano Vietto at . Racing Club among the options. On the ball: Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic (left) trains with Robin van Persie on Monday . He's on fire: Atletico Madrid's free-scoring striker Diego Costa in the Spanish capital on Monday . Liverpool kid Ilori wanted for good at GranadaGranada are considering a bold attempt to sign Liverpool's Tiago Ilori on a permanent basis after the Portuguese defender's impressive loan spell. Ilori, 20, joined Liverpool last summer for £7m from Sporting Lisbon and is yet to play a game for the Anfield club but since moving to Granada on loan he has impressed sporting director Juan Carlos Cordero. 'For the experience he has he is calm, he has pace, moves the ball well. He has come in and fitted into the team very quickly,' said Cordero. 'When the end of the summer comes we'll see if he is wanted by the Liverpool first team or if they want to sell or loan him.' Liverpool are continuing discussions with Glen Johnson over his future but are unlikely to pursue any interest in right back Bacary Sagna, who is awaiting an improved contract offer from Arsenal. The 31-year-old has offers from Turkey and France but Liverpool are likely to look at younger options should Johnson fail to agree new terms. Time to wave goodbye? Arsenal could lose Bacary Sagna this summer with contract talks unresolved . Villa scouts establish French connection . Aston Villa were among clubs represented at Auxerre's Coupe Gambardella tie with Strasbourg on the weekend. The tournament is for French Under 19 sides and Auxerre won 1-0 with a goal from 18-year-old striker François-Xavier Tamuzo, while midfielder Samed Kilic, 17, also impressed. Summarize this article.

Two High Street banks are letting customers access their money by using fingerprint technology that security experts warn ‘almost anybody’ could crack. Royal Bank of Scotland and NatWest have installed the feature so that users of their mobile banking apps merely have to press a finger on to their smartphone to get into their accounts. But Professor Mike Jackson, a cybersecurity expert at Birmingham City University, claims the technology offers about as much security as ‘leaving your house keys under the front doormat’. Scroll down for video . ‘It is not something I would do – put it that way,’ he added. The banks’ apps utilise Apple’s Touch ID feature, which lets owners of an iPhone 5, 6 or 6 Plus access their device by touching the button under the screen. If the fingerprint matches one they have stored previously, the screen is unlocked. On earlier models, users must enter a numerical code instead. RBS and NatWest, both part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, say around 880,000 of their customers have the newer iPhones so can now get into their bank accounts using Touch ID. They simply activate the technology first by inputting their usual security information. But experts claim these people may be putting their money at risk as Touch ID only examines the look of fingerprints. So criminals could easily break into someone’s bank account by using a high-quality photograph or clear image of the phone-owner’s fingerprint. Such an image could even be gleaned from the phone’s screen itself. More sophisticated fingerprint-recognition systems can detect the warmth and veins within fingers. Ben Schlabs of the German think tank SRLabs said: ‘Fingerprints are not fit for secure local-user authentication as long as “fake fingers” can be produced from these pervasive copies. It is a very different risk to something that is inside your brain [such as a PIN code].’ And Professor Mike Jackson said: ‘Almost anybody, given enough chance, would be able to break it. If you can get hold of a good finger print, it is very easy to fool [the technology]. It is that insecure.’ RBS and NatWest, both part of the Royal Bank of Scotland Group, say around 880,000 of their customers have the newer iPhones so can now get into their bank accounts using Touch ID. (File image) When Touch ID was launched, a group of hackers got around it by making a fake finger from a photograph of a fingerprint. They showed how criminals could present the photograph to the iPhone’s button or use it to fashion a latex model to hold against the smartphone. RBS and NatWest yesterday said they were confident the fingerprint technology was safe to use, pointing out it was already popular with banks in the US and other countries. ‘We do everything we can to make banking secure for our customers and we’ve tested this to make sure it was safe before launch,’ they added. Mobile banking users whose iPhones are stolen can deactivate their Touch ID by calling the bank. Summarize this article. Users merely have to press finger to smartphone to get into their accounts .

Q: In 200 words or less, write a well-known villain as a hero, but do not tell us who they are. A: I saw the bus screech out of the parking lot, and I knew that my target hoped to evade me by going on a field trip. My arms and legs moved like pistons to propel myself at a speed no human could ever hope to match. As soon as I latched onto it, the bus configured itself into the shape of a spaceship. Before it had so much as risen into the upper atmosphere, I had melted myself into liquid metal and seeped through a window. "Seatbelts, everyone!" a cheery voice at the front of the bus called. I reformed into my usual police officer shape and pulled out my pistol. "I knew I should have stayed home today!" a nerdy red-haired kid said. After snapping his neck, the other kids cleared out of the aisle so I could get to my target. The woman in question danced her fingers over the controls. "Come on bus, do your stuff!" she said frantically as I approached. I grabbed her by her frizzy red hair as she she tried to shield herself with an overgrown lizard and put a bullet through her brain. "What are we gonna do?!" an Asian girl screamed. With the target successfully terminated, I leaped out of the bus.
