A glamour model has spent £22,000 on cosmetic procedures in a quest to look 'plastic fantastic' and attract male attention. Raegan Sidley, 25, has splashed out almost the UK average wage on improving her looks, including regular Botox injections and a breast augmentation to take her from a 34C to a 32G. 'Looking this good . definitely doesn’t come for free,' says Raegan. 'I’ve spent £22K on making over my . appearance to make men lust after me.' Raegan (pictured left before 'remodelling' and right after breast enhancement, lip and cheek fillers and hair extensions) says: 'I’ve spent £22K on making over my . appearance to make men lust after me' Raegan says she is 'terminally single' despite all her efforts to attract a 'nice lad', which now include laser vaginal rejuvenation . 'I’m 100 per cent committed to being as perfect as I can be, and I’ll try anything. The glamour model has also spent . £10K on her nails, fake tan and hair extensions in just three years. She has spent a further £7,000 on facial fillers, Botox injections and semi-permanent makeup. 'I don’t want to be a normal, boring-looking girl,' explains Raegan. 'I take pride in how I look, and think all girls should too - especially when it comes to looking good naked.' £4,000 breast enhancement£4,000 on Botox injections£1,000 on vaginal rejuvenation£2,000 on facial fillers£5,000 on hair extensions£5,000 on nails and fake tan£1,000 on tattoos and cosmetic semi-permanent make upTotal £22,000 . In fact, so keen is Raegan to look good naked that she's . now signed up for the Protege Intima ‘Love Laser’, which promises to . rejuvenate her intimate regions. The procedure, which is pain-free, is the first non-surgical labia remodelling treatment in the UK and costs £1,000. Traditional labiaplasty can cost up to £4,000. Raegan . said: 'I wasn’t unhappy with how my vagina looked, but I think there’s . always room for improvement. It’s important to look good "down there"'. 'Women are so critical of their bits, but why be miserable when you can do something about it?' Raegan has now had her first laser treatment in a series of four. 'I have had my first treatment, and have three more to go before Christmas. I was nervous before my treatment but the procedure was very comfortable.' 'The head of the device they use to treat you looks like a giant pen, but once you get over that it just generally feels nice. It’s run across your labia and gently heats the tissue - that’s what makes the skin tighten. 'It’s a bit embarrassing I guess, but it’s totally non-invasive and painless.' Raegan, left, pictured before she 'remodelled' herself and right, after Botox, lip and cheek fillers, hair extensions and semi-permanent makeup . 'I’ve not seen any changes as yet, . but I was advised it takes four sessions to see results. I should have . the full result in January or February, I think.

Editor of the The Cosmetic Surgery . Guide magazine, Laura Casewell, said: 'This will be the next big thing as . far as female cosmetic surgery goes.' 'The . advances in most non-invasive cosmetic treatments have been astonishing . in the last few years, and the days of surgical labiaplasty may be . numbered now Protege Intima is offering such outstanding results without . the need for knives or needles.' However, despite all these efforts, Raegan claims she is ‘terminally single'. While she has her heart set on David Beckham, Raegan says instead she only attracts ‘creeps’ and ‘pervs’. She . said: 'I’ve always enjoyed getting male attention and I love to flirt. Making myself "plastic fantastic" seemed like an easy way to make guys . fancy me, but men just assume I’m "up for it".' 'I get offered sex all the time, but I can’t remember the last time a bloke asked me out for dinner.' Raegan is still holding out for a Prince Charming who can see beyond her ‘sexy looks’. 'Just . because I look fake and a bit "out there", it doesn’t mean I don’t want . a fairytale romance,' she said. 'I’d much rather a nice lad who wanted . a relationship.' 'I know Mr Right is out there. Eventually someone will sweep me off my size 4s and see past it all.' Raegan is often the target of cruel comments from 'regular' girls who are jealous of her surgically-enhanced looks . And it's not just men who are unable . to see past her fake breasts, fake nails, hair extensions, facial fillers and Botox. Raegan . is often the target of cruel comments from ‘regular’ girls who are . jealous of her surgically-enhanced looks. 'I’ve . had girls walk up to me in nightclubs and verbally attack me for . absolutely no reason other than my enhanced boobs or hair extensions,” Raegan said. 'I choose to look fake, but it’s not my problem if some girls are jealous of that.' 'Luckily most of my close friends work in the modelling industry and understand what it's like to get unwanted attention for being pretty, but other girls can be really mean and judgemental.'

Passage: As a storm approaches a southern Louisiana bayou community called the "Bathtub" (a community cut off from the rest of the world by a levee), six-year-old Hushpuppy and her ailing, hot-tempered father Wink are optimistic about their life and their future. The children in school are being taught by Miss Bathsheba about nature and the release of prehistoric creatures called "Aurochs" from the melting ice caps. At home, Hushpuppy fends for herself while her father is missing. When he returns, he is wearing a hospital gown and bracelet. They argue, and when Hushpuppy returns to her house, she deliberately sets it on fire. A chase ensues between the two, and she ends up getting slapped by Wink. When she retaliates by punching him in the chest, Wink collapses. Hushpuppy, realizing the damage she has caused, runs for help only to find her father missing when she returns. Meanwhile, in the Arctic, the frozen Aurochs in an ice shelf start drifting into the ocean. Many of the Bathtub residents start fleeing due to the threat of an approaching storm. Wink reappears, staggering along the side of the road; he finds Hushpuppy and takes her home to start barricading before the storm hits. In an effort to make his daughter feel better, Wink attempts to scare off the storm by firing a rifle at the clouds. The next day, the two tour the devastation and connect with surviving residents. The Bathtub residents celebrate and make plans to rebuild their community, but the environment is damaged because of the salt water brought in by the storm surge to fresh waters. Wink hatches a plan to drain the water away by destroying the levee. He and a small group of friends plant dynamite and blow a hole in the wall using an alligator gar, and the water recedes. Authorities arrive and enforce a mandatory evacuation order, removing the residents of the Bathtub to an emergency shelter. Wink receives surgery, but it is too late to restore his health. At the first opportunity, the evacuees leave and escape back to their homes. Aware of her father’s condition, Hushpuppy searches for her absent mother. She and her friends swim to a boat, which takes them to a floating bar, known as the Elysian Fields. Hushpuppy meets a cook who may be her mother, though the woman doesn't recognize her. The cook says that the girl can stay with her if she wants, but Hushpuppy says that she's got to go home. Hushpuppy and her friends return home where she confronts the Aurochs. As the Aurochs leave, Hushpuppy returns home. She says her last goodbyes to the dying Wink, listening to his last heartbeat. She sets his funeral pyre ablaze, standing together with the remaining residents of the Bathtub. Question: What does Hushpuppy do to the house? Answer: Sets it on fire.

By . Tom Pugh . Prisoners approaching the end of their sentences are being offered HGV lessons to stop them reoffending once freed. Mainstream Training has formed a partnership with Category D HMP Standford Hill open prison on the Isle of Sheppey in Kent. Inmates deemed suitable are sent on courses, including for HGVs and forklift trucks, at the company's base in Sittingbourne or at the jail, and are predominantly classroom-based. Prisoners approaching the end of their sentences at HMP Standford Hill open prison on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent, pictured, are being offered HGV lessons to stop them reoffending once freed . Funding for the lessons comes from charitable donations, including from the Royal London Society and the Salvation Army - and has to be paid back once jobs are found. Sheppey residents criticised the scheme, with one describing it as a ‘slap in the face of the ordinary hard-working person’. However, Paul Tolley, senior operations manager at Mainstream, said the aim was to help offenders into jobs on the outside to stop them reoffending. He said once offenders pass their tests and get jobs, they have to pay back the money to help another inmate rehabilitate. Mr Tolley said: 'It's not a freebie. These aren't free driving lessons for personal use. Once their term is up, they are given a small amount of money and told basically to get on with it. 'What we have done is put a programme in place to help get them trained, get a CV together and help them get a job. 'A person is less likely to reoffend if they are in a full-time job. The money used to train them will be paid back to help the next person rehabilitate. 'It's like a conveyor belt system. 'We are trying to help people to stop them re-offending as there are often prisoners who leave jail with a small amount of money, no family and no job and are back in prison in a week.' Funding for the lessons comes from charitable donations, including from the Royal London Society and the Salvation Army - and has to be paid back once jobs are found . Since the scheme started in January, half of around the 30 people who have been trained have found employment, Mr Tolley added. He said helping train suitable prisoners with HGV licences is helping to plug the shortfall of up to 100,000 drivers in the logistics industry. The charity, Victim Support, welcomed steps that help prisoners gain a job and rehabilitate themselves. A spokesman said: 'What victims want more than anything else is not to be a victim in the first place and for the criminal not to do it again. 'Schemes that are proven to genuinely cut the chances of someone reoffending help to achieve that, such as the restorative justice work we do where a criminal has to meet their victim. 'Helping a prisoner to get a job after they've served their time is also a helpful step in their rehabilitation.' Summarize this article. Lessons offered to inmates at open prison on the Isle of Sheppey, Kent . Prisoners deemed suitable at HMP Standford Hill sent on the free courses .

Passage: Hal Warner, a rich young fellow determined to find the truth for himself about conditions in the mines, runs away from home and adopts the alias "Joe Smith." After being turned away by one coal mine for fear of Hal being a union organizer, he gets a job in another coal mine operated by the General Fuel Company, or GFC. In the mines he befriends many of the workers, and realizes their misery and exploitation at the hands of the bosses. He befriends Mary Burke, who is a passionate fighter for the workers' rights. Her father is a mine worker who spends his days drinking and leaving her to take care of her siblings. She and Hal grow close, which tears at Hal's loyalty to his fiancĂŠe back home. After dedicating himself to the workers' cause, he tells them that he will appeal to the bosses to become a check weigh man who measures the amount of coal, but the GFC, wanting to cheat the workers out of their pay, appoints a company check weigh man. Hal is eventually put into the jail by the marshal, who is teased by Hal over conditions of the mines and accused by Hal of being corrupted and unfair to the workers. After an explosion in the mines, Hal seeks out Percy Harrigan, an old friend whose father, Peter Harrigan, owns the General Fuel Company. The workers organize a strike and union to demand their rights from the bosses, but the rescue effort goes longer than expected. The bosses are more intent on the tools and equipment than the miners. "Damn the man! save the Mules!" says a boss. Hal appeals to the United Mine Workers to back the strike, but they refuse, telling him that the strike is primitive and unexpected and that to support it when its just started to participate in action would waste the union's resources. Hal is told to wait a few more years for the other unions to strike, and only with a massive course of action could the unions win. Hal is left to tell the workers the grievous news but the workers nevertheless cheer out his name (some calling out Joe Smith and others Hal) for standing up for them. After a confrontation with his brother Edward, Hal resolves to return home and dedicate his life to the workers' cause. Hal leaves and concludes that he is in love with Mary Burke. Question: After Hal is arrested, who does he accuse of being corrupt and unfair to workers? Answer: The Marshall.

(CNN)A nervy Real Madrid returned to winning ways Saturday with a 2-0 victory over mid-table Deportivo la Coruna at the Santiago Bernabeu. Goals from Spanish international midfielder Isco and French striker Karim Benzema either side of half-time were enough to secure the three points, although Depor will feel aggrieved not to have taken anything from the game. The Gallicians put their more illustrious hosts under pressure for long spells and were unfortunate not to level matters at the beginning of the second period when midfielder Celso Borges cracked a post. Real goalkeeper Ilker Casillas then made a flying save from Oriol Riera moments later. After a 4-0 derby thrashing at the hands of city rivals Atletico Madrid last weekend, Real manager Carlo Ancelotti will be content to return to winning ways. However, the Italian will also be concerned at the often scrappy nature of his side's play and the relatively timid performance of star-man Cristiano Ronaldo who failed to score for his third La Liga game running -- the first time he has done so since 2013. Ronaldo came in for criticism from some Real supporters earlier in the week after holding his 30th birthday party in the wake of last Saturday's derby humiliation. The World player of the year did set up Benzema for Real's second and struck the bar in the first half, but he was quiet for long periods and missed from two-yards out when presented with a golden opportunity shortly before Isco opened the scoring. Speaking after the game, Ancelotti said "It was a difficult week and we have come out of it with a victory which is good," in quotes carried by the AFP news agency . "The team was a bit worried at the start, but in the end it went well. The fans have helped us and they understood the moment the team is going through to help us come out of this quickly." Real and Ronaldo will be hoping for a more convincing performance when they face Schalke in the last 16 of the Champions League on Wednesday. Saturday's result moves Los Blancos four points clear atop the La Liga table although this will be cut back to one point if second placed Barcelona beats Levante at the Nou Camp Sunday. Round five of the FA Cup meant there was no Premier League action this weekend. There was, however, two all top-flight cup ties Saturday. West Brom comfortably overcame West Ham 4-0, thanks to a brace from the in-form Brown Ideye and further strikes from James Morrison and Saido Berahino, while Liverpool came from behind to defeat Crystal Palace 2-1 at Selhurst Park. In Saturday's other cup fixtures, Premier League Stoke City was thrashed 4-1 by second-tier Blackburn. Meanwhile, Nigeria striker Yakubu scored the winning goal as Reading defeated Derby County in an all Championship affair. An injury hit Paris Saint Germain missed the chance to go top of Ligue 1 after drawing 2-2 at home to Caen. The reigning French champions had forged ahead thanks to goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Ezequiel Lavezzi but came undone when injuries forced Serge Aurier and Lucas off the park. Manager Laurent Blanc had used all three substitutions meaning PSG were forced to play the last 10 minutes with nine men. Although they held on for the majority of that time the Parisians conceded goals in the 89th and then 92nd minute to Emiliano Sala and Hervé Bazile respectively to ensure the spoils were shared. The result leaves PSG in third place behind Marseille, which drew with Stade Reims on Friday, and table-topping Lyon which heads to FC Lorient Sunday. Summarize this article. Real Madrid return to winning ways against Deportivo la Coruna . Isco and Benzema score in 2-0 victory . Ronaldo fails to score for third La Liga game in a row .

Passage: In 1996, psychopathic career criminal Simon Phoenix kidnaps a number of hostages and takes refuge with his gang in an abandoned building. LAPD Sgt. John Spartan uses a thermal scan of the building and finds no trace of the hostages, and leads an unauthorized assault to capture Phoenix. When he is captured, Phoenix sets off a series of explosives that bring down the building, and when the police search the wreckage, they find the corpses of the hostages. Spartan is charged with manslaughter, and he is incarcerated along with Phoenix in the city's new "California Cryo-Penitentiary", where they will be cryogenically frozen. During their time "in deep freeze", they are to be rehabilitated through subconscious conditioning. During their incarceration, the "Great Earthquake" leads the cities of Los Angeles, San Diego, and Santa Barbara to merge into a single metropolis under the name San Angeles. The city becomes a utopia run under the pseudo-pacifist guidance and control of the evangelistic Dr. Raymond Cocteau, where human behavior is tightly controlled. In 2032, Phoenix is woken for a parole hearing, but he finds he somehow knows the access codes to the security systems, and is able to escape the prison and begins wreaking havoc on the city. The police, having not dealt with violent crime for many years, are unable to handle Phoenix and opt to wake Spartan and enlist his help. Spartan is assigned to Lieutenant Lenina Huxley to help with acclimation to the future, which he finds depressing. Others on the police force find his behavior brutish and uncivilized, though Huxley, who is fascinated by the lifestyles of the late 20th century, helps Spartan to overcome this, and the two grow close, despite the limitations on displays of public affection. They attempt to stop Phoenix from stealing 20th century weapons from a museum display, but Phoenix manages to escape. Phoenix encounters Dr. Cocteau during his escape, and though he tries to shoot him, finds himself unable to do so. Dr. Cocteau calmly asks Phoenix to assassinate Edgar Friendly, the leader of the resistance group called the Scraps that fight against Cocteau's rule, and allows Phoenix to bring other criminals out of cryo-sleep to help at his request. Meanwhile, Spartan and Huxley review the cryo-prison records and find that instead of the normal rehabilitation program, Phoenix had been given the information necessary for his escape by Cocteau directly. They also discover information directing Phoenix towards Friendly, and go off to warn him. At the Scraps' underground base, Friendly is initially distrustful but Spartan is able to convince him of the threat and takes sympathy in their cause given what he has seen above ground. When Phoenix and his gang attack, Spartan and the Scraps ward off the attack, leading to a car chase between Spartan and Phoenix. During the chase, Phoenix taunts Spartan by revealing that he had killed the hostages before Spartan had arrived in 1996. Phoenix escapes while Spartan comes to terms that he had been wrongly charged with the crime. Meanwhile, Friendly and the Scraps work with the police to try to help stop Phoenix and his gang of cryo-cons. Phoenix returns to Dr. Cocteau with his gang, and as the rehabilitation programming prevents him from killing Cocteau, orders one of his gang to do so. Spartan and Huxley arrive soon after, finding that Phoenix has already left to release more prisoners. Spartan enters the prison alone to fight Phoenix, engages in a violent fight that ravages the facility, and eventually uses the cryogenic chemical to freeze Phoenix before shattering him. Spartan escapes the prison before it explodes and regroups with the police and the Scraps. The police fear the loss of Cocteau will send their society into a downward spiral, but Spartan suggests that they and the Scraps work together to recreate a society that returns some of the personal freedoms that were lost. He then kisses Huxley and the two go off together. Question: Who really killed the hostages in 1996? Answer: Simon Phoenix

Passage: Walter (Kevin Bacon), a convicted child molester, returns home to Philadelphia after serving 12 years in prison. His friends and family have abandoned him, with the exception of his brother-in-law, Carlos (Benjamin Bratt). Walter's apartment is just across the street from an elementary school—an obvious source of temptation. He gets a job at a local lumber mill and meets Vicki (Kyra Sedgwick), one of the few women working there. After sleeping with Vicki, Walter tells her that he molested little girls, but rationalizes his crimes by saying "I didn't hurt them." Vicki is clearly shocked and disturbed by this new information, but before she can consider how to respond to it, Walter tells her to leave his apartment. Walter receives frequent visits from a suspicious, verbally abusive police officer named Lucas (Mos Def). Lucas makes it clear that he is waiting to catch Walter reoffending. Watching the school, Walter sees a man offering candy to little boys in an apparent effort to gain their confidence. He realizes that this man, whom he nicknames "Candy" (Kevin Rice), is another child molester. Walter also meets an apparently lonely young girl named Robin (Hannah Pilkes) who is a bird watcher. Walter sees Candy abduct a boy; however, he does not report this to the police. Walter's life takes a further downturn when a suspicious co-worker, Mary-Kay (Eve), learns of his conviction and alerts the entire mill. Some of the employees attack Walter, but Vicki and the boss of the mill come to his defense. Ostracized and frustrated, Walter leaves his workplace and goes to the park. Vicki, fearing the worst, begins to search for him. Walter ends up meeting with Robin at the park. As they talk, he begins to succumb to his desires and invites Robin to sit on his lap. She politely refuses, but then begins to confide in him. As she begins to cry, Walter realizes that she is being molested by her father. In her anguish, and sensing a similarity between her father and Walter, she offers to sit on Walter's lap, wanting his approval. Walter finally understands the pain he caused his victims, and tells Robin to go home; as she leaves, she gives him a hug. On his way home, he sees Candy dropping off a young boy near the school at night. In a fit of rage and self-hatred, Walter gives Candy a thorough beating. Afterwards, he goes to Vicki's home, and she accepts him. Soon after, Lucas visits Walter's apartment as Walter is packing to move in with Vicki and tells him that a man was beaten across the street the night before, and asks if he knows anything about it. Walter denies any knowledge, but Lucas knows better. He reveals that the boy gave a very good description of the assailant, which fits Walter. He also reveals that "Candy" is wanted in Virginia for raping a young boy. Lucas decides not to charge Walter with the assault. With Carlos' help, Walter is reunited with his sister, whom he has not seen in years. However, she refuses to forgive him and leaves. In a voice-over discussion in which his therapist (Michael Shannon) tells him that eventual forgiveness may take several years, Walter replies that he understands and accepts her anger, and expresses optimism for his own future. Question: Who is Lucas? Answer: A police officer monitoring Walter, wanting to catch him reoffending to bust him back to prison.

Question: Two vampires have come to the sleepy village of Willowton, population 300. Every night, each vampire turns 5 more people into vampires. How many vampires are there after two nights? Answer: First find the number of new vampires after one night: 5 people/vampire * 2 vampires = <<5*2=10>>10 people Add that to the starting number of vampires to find the total number of vampires after one night: 10 vampires + 2 vampires = <<10+2=12>>12 vampires Then find the number of new vampires on the second night: 5 people/vampire * 12 vampires = <<5*12=60>>60 people Add that number to the starting number of vampires on the second night to find the total number of vampires after two nights: 60 vampires + 12 vampires = <<60+12=72>>72 vampires The answer is 72.

By . Tim Shipman, Geoffrey Foster and Hugo Gye . PUBLISHED: . 18:34 EST, 24 February 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 11:43 EST, 25 February 2013 . George Osborne today refused to change course on his austerity plan despite the pound slumping to a new low today as investors reacted to the loss of Britain's gold-plated AAA credit rating. The Chancellor was called to the Commons this afternoon to be grilled by MPs after the UK's currency fell to its lowest level against the dollar for nearly three years and hit a 16-month low against the euro. The . pound fell sharply to $1.51 and was as low as 1.14 euros today, . compared with 1.23 euros earlier this year and close to 1.29 euros in . last July. It means that £500 in a UK tourist’s pocket is now worth just 570 euros – compared with €645 last year. Under fire: Chancellor George Osborne faces criticism from all sides after Britain lost its gold-plated AAA credit rating . By contrast, the FTSE 100 rose by more than 30 points, suggested that the downgrade did not come as a surprise to investors who had grown used to bad news from Britain after a run of disappointing economic announcements. Mr Osborne insisted: 'We will go on delivering on the economic plan that has brought the deficit down by a quarter.' He told MPs there had not been 'excessive volatility' as the markets gave their reaction to the Moody's decision. Sterling has been locked into a downward spiral over the past week amidst fears the Bank of England could re-start its quantitative easing programme, fuelling inflation. Mr Osborne told MPs the decision by Moody's was a 'stark reminder of the debt problems built up in Britain over the last decade and a warning to anyone who thinks we can run away from dealing with those problems'. However, Labour's Ed Balls noted that Mr Osborne Mr Osborne had made maintaining the AAA rating a key benchmark for his stewardship of the economy,. 'The first economic test he set himself, now failed by this downgraded Chancellor,' Mr Balls said. The FTSE, which is strongly . influenced by the performance of international firms, held on to its . recent gains, climbing 34 points to 6370 by 2.45 this afternoon. Sterling's continuing losses could . mean misery for holidaymakers, who have already seen the value of the . pound fall by seven per cent this year, and put an extra squeeze on . consumers by pushing up the cost of everything from petrol to pasta. In a fresh blow to the Chancellor, his Tory Cabinet colleague and former chancellor Kenneth Clarke admitted yesterday it will take ‘years’ to re-establish ‘sensible economic growth’ in Britain. And Business Secretary Vince Cable warned Mr Osborne that producing another ‘slash and burn’ austerity budget would be ‘utterly foolish’ and demanded more action on growth. In . signs of a growing Coalition row over the economy, Deputy Prime . Minister Nick Clegg said: ‘We’re not just balancing the books – we need . to do a whole lot more than that.’ Despite the downgrade, David Cameron's official spokesman insisted today that the Government's economic plan was 'working' and the Prime Minister remained committed to seeing it through. 'The plan is working and that is why we believe the economy is healing,' the spokesman told a daily Westminster press briefing. Treasury . sources say the Chancellor’s budget, due in three weeks, will be an . ‘unabashed budget for business’ and is expected to include corporation . tax cuts. But he faces the immediate prospect of a run on the pound after the downgrade by credit ratings agency Moody’s. Mr Clarke admitted the pound is no longer seen as a ‘safe haven’. He . told Sky News: ‘It’s going to take several more years of this in order . to get back not just our credit rating but to get back to sensible . economic growth.’ While . the problems set the stage for a crunch budget in three weeks time, Mr . Cable warned against £10billion of fresh cuts the Tories want to use to . balance the books. He said: ‘To embark on a slash and . burn policy in response to this would be utterly foolish and . counterproductive. The real thing we have to focus on is the real . economy and getting growth back.’ Citing as examples the US and France, . both downgraded last year, he also argued the loss of the AAA rating . was ‘largely symbolic’, adding: ‘In terms of the real economy there is . no reason why the downgrade should have any impact.’ Mr Osborne is also under fire from Tory MPs such as Adam Afriyie, who said they must cut taxes or lose the next election. The . Windsor MP and self-made millionaire called on the Government to phase . out employers’ National Insurance contributions and halve the . corporation tax on profits to 12.5 per cent. Others warned Mr Osborne is in the ‘last chance saloon’. One senior backbencher said: ‘Genius George must go.’ Another said: ‘He faces a fundamental issue of credibility.’ Foolhardy: The Chancellor chose to wear the rating as a badge of honour and must now live with the consequences after the downgrade . George Osborne has, in many ways, only himself to blame for the political backlash as a result of Britain losing its prized AAA credit rating. The Chancellor chose to wear the rating as a badge of honour, constantly referring to it as the rewards of Britain’s budgetary discipline. By doing so, he has been hoist by his own petard. In itself, the downgrade is of little consequence. Both the United States in 2011 and France last year lost their top-notch standing without any noticeable impact on their ability to borrow on global markets at very low rates. Britain will always be regarded as a good credit risk. This is because the average age of the nation’s bonds or gilt edged stock that issued is for 15 years – a far longer maturity than other leading nations. As a result the country is not constantly having to ask the market to buy newly issued bonds or gilts to replace old ones. Also, what sets the UK apart from Greece (and even Germany) is that we have never, in our entire history, failed to pay back our debt. The biggest risk for Osborne is that the loss of our credit standing leads to a lengthy and destabilising run on the pound. The currency has already fallen a sharp 7 per cent in value against the dollar and the euro since the start of the year. So far, this reduction has been viewed with quiet satisfaction by the Bank of England governor. Even though it means higher prices for imported food and energy, policy makers believe the best hope for restoring growth is a cheaper pound, making British goods and services more competitive in the global marketplace. But there is a very big difference between a gentle slide in the currency of the kind that has already taken place, and the panic-selling that occurs when the markets lose confidence in a nation’s ability to stabilise its affairs. Realistically, there is no reason for a run on the pound. However slow the UK’s economic growth and however big our debt mountain, the UK’s problems are as nothing compared to those of the wounded euroland. And if markets were rational they would take no notice at all of what the credit rating agencies have to say. After all, it was these very same organisations that stamped the toxic American sub-prime mortgage debt as AAA before the financial crisis. Nevertheless, it would be irresponsible for the Chancellor if the weekend’s events were not to lead to some rethinking of economic strategy ahead of the budget. Osborne needs to do two things simultaneously. He needs to slash a welfare budget that is still increasing at an unacceptable pace and move rapidly to improve growth by getting the banks lending again to households and small businesses. Most importantly he needs to radically reform a tax system so onerous that companies move mountains to avoid paying tax and are refusing to invest in their businesses. The truth is that more imaginative policies are required by the Chancellor to rekindle growth in output and put the setback of a lost credit rating behind him. So far, truly bold initiatives have been sadly lacking when it has come to boosting output. Summarize this article. Sterling stands at $1.51 and €1.14 today after UK stripped of credit rating .

Prince Harry is to be bumped down to fifth in line to the throne after news the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a second baby. Harry dropped to fourth in the line of succession after Prince George was born in July last year, and now just days before he is due to celebrate his 30th birthday comes the news that he will fall another place in the Royal rankings. Regardless of whether the new baby is a girl or a boy, it will take Harry's fourth place spot, when it is born next year, making it extremely unlikely that the Prince will ever become king. Scroll down for video . Bumped: Prince Harry (left) will fall to fifth in line to the throne following the birth of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's new baby . However, Harry - who turns 30 on September 15 - has plenty to keep him busy despite being leapfrogged by the new baby. As well as celebrating his milestone birthday, and inheriting £10million pounds left to him by his mother Diana, Princess of Wales Harry has his Army duties to occupy him, and has been heavily involved in the forthcoming Invictus Games for injured servicemen and women. He is also involved in a number of charities, including Sentebale, which was co-founded by the Prince, and works to support orphaned children in Africa. Slipping back: Regardless of whether the new baby is a girl or a boy, it will take Harry's fourth place spot, when it is born next year, making it extremely unlikely that the Prince will ever become king . Third place: Harry became fourth in line to the throne after the birth of Prince George last July . As a sibling to Prince George, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s second child will also not be expected to be crowned sovereign. But second-born royal children - often dubbed the 'spare to heir' - have on occasion ended up as monarch. The country’s last king, George VI, was not meant to accede to the throne and only did so when his older brother Edward VIII abdicated over his love for American divorcee Wallis Simpson in 1936. George VI’s father, George V, was also not destined to wear the crown. But he outlived his older brother the Duke of Clarence and Avondale - Prince Albert Victor - who died from flu in 1892. George V became king in 1910. Keeping busy: Harry has been heavily involved with the forthcoming Invictus Games . William and Kate’s new baby will be a great-grandchild to the Queen and a great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria. When Prince George was born on July 22, last year, he automatically became third in line to the throne of Britain and 15 other Commonwealth nations, following his father the Duke of Cambridge, and grandfather, the Prince of Wales. He is likely to take the throne as King George VII around the end of the century - although previous monarchs have not been averse to changing their name, such as the Queen's father, who was known as Bertie, but who ruled as George VI because Queen Victoria declared she did not want another 'Albert'. The new baby will also push Prince Andrew down to sixth place, followed by his daughters Beatrice and Eugenie in seventh and eighth. Prince Edward goes into ninth, with his children Viscount Severn and Lady Louise Windsor in tenth and 11th. Even though Louise is older, the changes to the law of succession are not being applied retrospectively. The most recent royal baby, Mia Tindall - the daughter of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall - will become 17th in line to the throne. She does not bear a royal title. The baby will be a prince or princess thanks to the Queen, who stepped in ahead of Prince George’s birth to ensure all William’s children would become HRHs with fitting titles. The Queen issued a Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm in December 2012 when Kate was just a few months’ pregnant, declaring “all the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales should have and enjoy the style, title and attribute of royal highness with the titular dignity of prince or princess prefixed to their Christian names or with such other titles of honour”. A Letters Patent in 1917, issued by George V, limited titles within the royal family, meaning a daughter born to William or Kate would not have been an HRH but Lady (forename) Mountbatten-Windsor instead and a second-born son would also have lacked the HRH title and become Lord (forename) Mountbatten-Windsor rather than a prince. William’s cousin Princess Eugenie, who was born in 1990, was the last royal baby to be given the title Princess. The Earl and Countess of Wessex’s daughter Lady Louise Mountbatten-Windsor is also technically a princess, but her parents decided, with the Queen’s agreement, that she would use the courtesy title of the daughter of an Earl instead. If the baby is a girl, it will be the first time a great granddaughter of a still-serving sovereign has been born in direct succession on the male line since 1897, when George VI’s sister Princess Mary was born.

Passage: The year is 1991; one year since an unidentified flying object bearing 300,000 enslaved aliens, the Newcomers, landed in the Mojave Desert on planet Earth. Los Angeles later becomes their new home. Matthew Sykes (Caan), a police detective, loses his partner Bill Tuggle (Brown) in a shootout. The detectives were trying to stop two Newcomer criminals murdering another Newcomer named Porter at a grocery, in what appeared to be a robbery. The next day, Sykes' superior Captain Warner (McCarthy), informs his squad that they will have to work with the newly promoted Newcomer detective Sam Francisco (Patinkin). Although biased, Sykes enlists to work with Francisco to investigate a similar homicide with a Newcomer named Warren Hubely; feeling that if he investigates that crime, he will also find opportunities to investigate his partner's death which he is officially forbidden to do. While unobtrusively trying to establish a connection between the two cases, Francisco at a crime lab detects an abnormality on the body of one of the Newcomer criminals who was killed in the robbery. Later, Sykes and Francisco are led to a nightclub to investigate a link in the killings with a Newcomer named Joshua Strader (Kober). However, they end up interviewing his girlfriend instead, after he is murdered by a criminal ring led by Newcomer businessman William Harcourt (Stamp) and his henchman Rudyard Kipling (Howard). Harcourt is in the latter stages of launching advanced plans to exploit the alien race by attempting to mass-produce and sell a drug called Jabroka. The drug was used in the past to pacify the Newcomers when they were slaves, but has no effect on humans. The abnormality noticed by Francisco on the body of the Newcomer criminal earlier, was a visual sign of the drug's influence. In addition, the Newcomers Hubley, Porter and Strader were involved in the planning phases of the operation, but were later murdered due to Harcourt's desire to exclude them from any future financial rewards. Ultimately, Sykes and Francisco track down Harcourt, where he is secretly negotiating a timetable for a release of the potent narcotic. The detectives attempt to foil his plans, as they are later led on a car chase with Harcourt and his cohort Kipling, through the streets of downtown Los Angeles. Following a head-on collision where both parties are injured, Harcourt attempts an escape on foot. Sykes pursues and corners Harcourt onto a desolate drawbridge. Harcourt then purposely overdoses on a sample of the stimulant. As Sykes mistakenly believes he died, Harcourt is taken away by an ambulance, but later mutates into a significantly larger and more muscular Newcomer intent on causing violence. The duo pursue Harcourt, catching up with him near a fishing pier. Sykes later ends up in a physical confrontation with Harcourt in the open sea. Harcourt dies, as his body disintegrates due to the effects of direct contact with salt water, which is hazardous towards Newcomer physiology. Francisco commandeers a police helicopter, and rescues Sykes from the water. With the Tuggle and Newcomer murder cases solved, the authorities dismantle Harcourt's illicit scheme. Question: What happened to Matthew Sykes partner? Answer: Bill Tuggles was killed in a shootout.

By . Kieran Corcoran . PUBLISHED: . 11:59 EST, 11 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 13:52 EST, 11 January 2014 . Passed away: Zac Knighton-Smith, pictured, passed away on New Year's Day . A boy who spent more than half his young life has died after a battle with the same rare brain cancer which killed his cousin. Zac Knighton-Smith, nine, passed away on New Year's Day from an agressive neuroblastoma. He had been diagnosed with the condition in February 2009, aged four. And just six months after the diagnosis his cousin, Chelsea Knighton, died from the condition aged three. When he first fell ill aged four, two doctors missed the symptoms of his cancer. It took six months to diagnose him as suffering from a form of the disease called neuroblastoma, which affects the developing nerve cells of children. After chemotherapy at Leicester Royal Infirmary in 2009, the NHS paid for Zac to go to Germany for a first time to have antibody therapy. While there, doctors removed a tumour near his heart which, incredibly, his family had not even been told about. Zac was given the all-clear, but a follow-up scan revealed three cancerous lymph nodes in his abdomen. The NHS originally refused to fund potential lifesaving surgery at a German hospital for Zac, from Rushden, Northamptonshire, which led his family to start a desperate fundraising campaign. They found the £8,000 needed for the operation, and were delighted to be told in March 2011 that Zac was in remission. The family were also reimbursed the cost of the treatment by the NHS after Conservative MP Peter Bone intervened on their behalf. Packed up: Zac, pictured in 2012 with his parents Bob Smith and Sam Knighton before his trip to Germany . Following intervention from their local Tory MP Peter Bone the NHS did a U-turn and reimbursed the family for the costly treatment. But the cancer later spread to Zac's liver and he passed away at his home on 1 January alongside his parents, Bob Smith, 44, and Sam Knighton, 45. Diagnoses: Zac, right, with his cousin Chelsea, after both had been diagnosed with neuorblastomata . His mother yesterday said he wasn't in any pain but confirmed his health had been ailing because the disease had spread to his liver. Ms Knighton said: 'We took him to America as our last-ditch attempt in November to a specialist oncologist, who was also a scientist. We found out then it had spread to his bone marrow. 'We knew then that we had one hell of a fight. But at that point it wasn't in his liver. But that's the nature of the disease, it can happen that quickly. 'All over Christmas he deteriorated. We knew he didn't have long, he was poorly. Christmas will never be the same again.' Speaking in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Mr Bone said Zac will be 'greatly missed'. Addressing Commons Leader Andrew Lansley in the chamber, he said: This lovely, full-of-life, happy little boy passed away. He will be sadly and greatly missed. 'However, without politicians of different parties working together he would not have had the last five years.' Any funds raised by Zac's Fight Appeal, which has been raising money for his treatment, will now be used to help other children and their families fighting the disease. Ms Knighton added: 'This country offers nothing for relapse neuroblastoma. If you take accidents out of the equation, this disease is the single biggest killer of children. 'How many more children have to die before something is done about it? This can't be allowed to happen.' Summarize this article.

This question refers to the following information. Source 1: "You may well ask: "Why direct action? Why sit-ins, marches and so forth? Isn't negotiation a better path?" You are quite right in calling, for negotiation. Indeed, this is the very purpose of direct action. Nonviolent direct action seeks to create such a crisis and foster such a tension that a community which has constantly refused to negotiate is forced to confront the issue. It seeks so to dramatize the issue that it can no longer be ignored. My citing the creation of tension as part of the work of the nonviolent-resister may sound rather shocking. But I must confess that I am not afraid of the word "tension." I have earnestly opposed violent tension, but there is a type of constructive, nonviolent tension which is necessary for growth. Just as Socrates felt that it was necessary to create a tension in the mind so that individuals could rise from the bondage of myths and half-truths to the unfettered realm of creative analysis and objective appraisal, we must we see the need for nonviolent gadflies to create the kind of tension in society that will help men rise from the dark depths of prejudice and racism to the majestic heights of understanding and brotherhood." Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter from a Birmingham Jail, 1966 Source 2: "We, men and women, who hereby constitute ourselves as the National Organization for Women, believe that the time has come for a new movement toward true equality for all women in America, and toward a fully equal partnership of the sexes, as part of the world-wide revolution of human rights now taking place within and beyond our national borders. The purpose of NOW is to take action to bring women into full participation in the mainstream of American society now, exercising all the privileges and responsibilities thereof in truly equal partnership with men. We believe the time has come to move beyond the abstract argument, discussion and symposia over the status and special nature of women which has raged in America in recent years; the time has come to confront, with concrete action, the conditions that now prevent women from enjoying the equality of opportunity and freedom of which is their right, as individual Americans, and as human beings." National Organization for Women, Statement of Purpose, 1966 Source 3: "The long-term goal of Gay Liberation, which inevitably brings us into conflict with the institutionalized sexism of this society, is to rid society of the gender-role system which is at the root of our oppression. This can only be achieved by eliminating the social pressures on men and women to conform to narrowly defined gender roles. It is particularly important that children and young people be encouraged to develop their own talents and interests and to express their own individuality rather than act out stereotyped parts alien to their nature. As we cannot carry out this revolutionary change alone, and as the abolition of gender rotes is also a necessary condition of women's liberation, we will work to form a strategic alliance with the women's liberation movement, aiming to develop our ideas and our practice in close inter-relation. In order to build this alliance, the brothers in gay liberation will have to be prepared to sacrifice that degree of male chauvinism and male privilege that they still all possess." Gay Liberation Front, Manifesto, 1971 Which of the following do both Source 1 and Source 2 explicitly emphasize? A. The need for nonviolent resistance B. The need for practical steps alongside discussions C. The need for unity with other movements D. The need for new and strengthened legislation Answer: B. The need for practical steps alongside discussions

London (CNN) -- Only two days after Pope Francis was officially inaugurated, the Church of England enthroned its new leader, ex-oil executive Justin Welby. As Archbishop of Canterbury, Welby now heads the 77 million-strong worldwide Anglican Communion. British Prime Minister David Cameron, Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall, bishops and leaders of other faiths were among those gathered for the ceremony at historic Canterbury Cathedral, about 100 kilometers (60 miles) southeast of London. It followed a series of time-honored traditions, beginning with the admittance of the new Archbishop of Canterbury into the cathedral following three knocks with his staff on the door. Welby then swore an oath of faith to the Church of England and Queen Elizabeth II on the ancient Canterbury Gospels, brought to England by St. Augustine in 597. But the service also embraced elements that were modern and reflected the church's international reach. A woman, Sheila Anne Watson, the Archdeacon of Canterbury, installed Welby in his role as Bishop of the See of Canterbury. And the cathedral rang with African music and dance, reflecting Welby's link to the continent through his work in peace and reconciliation there, and improvised organ music. In his sermon, Welby said that "Christ-liberated courage" had allowed great changes to take place in the past -- such as bringing an end to slavery. Further courage is now needed to tackle issues including the environment, the economy, global poverty and human development, he said. He also reflected on how Pope Francis, in his own inaugural homily on Tuesday, had called for people "in humility and simplicity" to protect each other and the world. Thursday's service makes Welby the 105th holder of the most senior position in the Church of England and the titular leader of the world's 77 million Anglicans. He was named as the successor to Dr. Rowan Williams as Archbishop of Canterbury in November. He was the Bishop of Durham, England, at the time. He is considered an outspoken critic of the excesses of capitalism and a supporter of women bishops, as well as an opponent of same-sex marriage. Same-sex marriage . Ahead of the service, the question of same-sex marriage jumped to the fore when an interview Welby gave to the BBC reignited the debate over the church's approach to issues of sexuality. Welby acknowledged the strength of some same-sex partnerships, saying, "You see gay relationships that are just stunning in the quality of the relationship." Nonetheless, he reaffirmed his support for the Church of England's policy of opposition to same-sex marriage. "The Church of England holds very firmly, and continues to hold, to the view that marriage is a lifelong union of one man to one woman," he told the British public service broadcaster. "At the same time, at the heart of our understanding of what it is to be human is the essential dignity of the human being. And so we have to be very clear about homophobia." Welby said it was not about "turning a blind eye" to same-sex relationships but rather "loving people as they are and where they are." His remarks come a day after it emerged that Pope Francis, now head of the world's 1.2 billion Catholics, may privately have voiced support for civil unions in his native Argentina while publicly opposing same-sex marriage. Gay rights activist Marcelo Marquez -- a self-described devout Catholic and former theology professor at a Catholic seminary -- said the then-archbishop of Buenos Aires had called him after he wrote an angry letter to Catholic leaders. "He told me ... 'I'm in favor of gay rights and in any case, I also favor civil unions for homosexuals, but I believe that Argentina is not yet ready for a gay marriage law,'" said Marquez. Argentina approved a law legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide in July 2010. A bill that would legalize same-sex marriage is currently under consideration in the British Parliament. Cameron has incurred the wrath of many in his Conservative Party by backing the legislation. Educated at Cambridge University, Welby worked for oil companies in Paris and London before training for the ministry. He had only been a bishop for a year before his promotion to the top job was announced. In his public appearances, he has displayed a wry humor and down-to-earth attitude that may help him negotiate the minefield of conflicting views and interests within the vast Anglican Communion. Summarize this article. NEW: Justin Welby is enthroned as the new Archbishop of Canterbury . NEW: He calls for "Christ-liberated courage" to tackle the problems facing the world .

Passage: The novel's plot has been called a plot of female socialization, in which the hero is taught by the heroine how to live peacefully in society. Mauprat resembles the fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast". As this would suggest, the novel is a romance. However, Sand resists the immediate happy ending of marriage between the two main characters in favor of a more gradual story of education, including a reappraisal of the passive female role in courtship and marriage. Sand also calls into question Rousseau's ideal version of the female education as described in his novel Emile, namely, training women for domesticity and the home. The novel, set before the French Revolution, depicts the coming of age of a nobleman named Bernard Mauprat. The story is narrated by the old Bernard in his country home many years later, as told to a nameless young male visitor. Bernard recounts how, raised by a violent gang of his feudal kinsmen after the death of his mother, he becomes a brutalized "enfant sauvage". When his cousin EdmĂŠe is held captive by Bernard's "family", he helps her escape, but elicits a promise of marriage from her by threatening rape. Thus begins the long courtship of Bernard and EdmĂŠe. The novel ends with a dramatic trial scene, similar to that in Stendhal's The Red and the Black. During the period Sand wrote the novel, she was gradually becoming more interested in the problem of political equality in society. She had read widely about the views of socialist thinkers such as Pierre Leroux, with whom she went on to form a journal, the Revue IndĂŠpendante. In keeping with Sand's interest in equality, Mauprat depicts a new type of literary figure, the peasant visionary Patience. In addition, part of the novel takes place during the American Revolutionary War. Question: Does Edmee willing want to marry Bernard? Answer: Edmee does not want to marry Bernard, but she is forced to because he helped her escape.

By . Jack Doyle . PUBLISHED: . 21:01 EST, 13 January 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 05:45 EST, 14 January 2014 . An Afghan man has been granted asylum in Britain because of his ‘human right’ to religion - despite him being an atheist. He came to Britain six years ago and since then has abandoned his Muslim faith. Now the Home Office have granted him refugee status, because he says he will face persecution if sent home. His lawyers say it is the first time anyone has been given asylum on religious grounds who is an atheist. An Afghan man has been granted asylum in Britain by the Home Office (pictured) because of his right to religion . The case was prepared by Kent Law Clinic, which is staffed partly by students studying law courses at the University of Kent’s Law School. Clinic Solicitor, Sheona York said: 'We are absolutely delighted for our client. We also want to welcome the prompt and positive response of the Home Office. ‘We believe that this is the first time that a person has been granted asylum in this country on the basis of their atheism. ‘The decision represents an important recognition that a lack of religious belief is in itself a thoughtful and seriously-held philosophical position.’ The 21-year-old man came to Britain in 2007 when he was just 16 years old to escape a conflict involving his family, during which his family home was attacked. He was brought up as a Muslim but since arriving in the UK he ‘gradually turned to atheism’, his lawyers say. After arriving in Britain, he attended church to ‘see if Christianity had any meaning for him’. But legal documents submitted as part of his case state: ‘After a while, he realised that it did not and that he had no religious beliefs.’ In February 2006 Afghan national Abdul Rahman was arrested when he converted to Christianity. Following political pressure on Afghan President Hamid Karzai (pictured) he was released . His lawyers argued that if he was returned to the war-torn country, he could face the death sentence. Under Sharia law, he is regarded as an ‘apostate’, because he has renounced Islam. In some Islamic countries, including Afghanistan, this can result in a death sentence. His lawyers argued that he would be forced to remain discreet about his atheist beliefs if he went back - and was bound to be discovered. ‘In Afghanistan, and even in Kabul, life is lived in such a way that everyone is connected with everyone else. There is no sense of privacy, and his lack of religious beliefs would become very quickly known,’ they argued. They argued that because every aspect of daily life and culture in Afghanistan is influenced by Islam, living discreetly would be ‘virtually impossible’. His application was brought under the 1951 Refugee Convention, which protects asylum seekers who could face religious persecution, political oppression, torture or other ill treatment. The lawyers argued the man - who has not been named - would face persecution on the grounds of religion. It also applies, they argued, to anyone who needed protection because of their lack of religious belief. Claire Splawn, a second year law student at the university, worked on the case. She said: ‘We argued that an atheist should be entitled to protection from persecution on the grounds of their belief in the same way as a religious person is protected.’ In February 2006, an Afghan national, Abdul Rahman was arrested and threatened with the death penalty because he converted to Christianity. He was imprisoned but - following political pressure on Afghan President Hamid Karzai from the US and elsewhere - he was released. The prosecution case against him was dropped on technical grounds, after a psychological examination concluded he was mentally unfit to stand trial. He was eventually granted asylum in Italy.

A group of students from a public state college decide to picket the college for raising tuition. After three days of picketing, the college asks a court to grant a temporary injunction against the picketers. The college claims that the picketers have violated Section 201 of the city's picketing ordinance. Assume that the court granted the temporary injunction against the students for picketing the college. "Section 201. No picketing shall be permitted inside of, or on any sidewalk or street immediately adjacent or contiguous to public colleges without express permission of the mayor. Applications for such permission shall be filed at least three days before such picketing is intended to begin and shall state the purpose, place, and time of the proposed picketing. "In a subsequent action challenging the constitutionality of Section 201 of the city's picketing ordinance, the court will most likely rule that the section is A. constitutional, because the ordinance is a valid exercise of the state's police power. B. constitutional, because the ordinance is within the reserved rights of the states under the Tenth Amendment. C. unconstitutional, because the ordinance is void for vagueness and overbreadth. D. unconstitutional, because the ordinance violates petitioner's rights under the First Amendment. Answer: D. unconstitutional, because the ordinance violates petitioner's rights under the First Amendment.

Passage: The novel tells the story of Jude Fawley, who lives in a village in southern England (part of Hardy's fictional county of Wessex), who yearns to be a scholar at "Christminster", a city modelled on Oxford. As a youth, Jude teaches himself Classical Greek and Latin in his spare time, while working first in his great-aunt's bakery, with the hope of entering university. But before he can try to do this the na誰ve Jude is seduced by Arabella Donn, a rather coarse and superficial local girl who traps him into marriage by pretending to be pregnant. The marriage is a failure, and they separate by mutual agreement, and Arabella later emigrates to Australia, where she enters into a bigamous marriage. By this time, Jude has abandoned his classical studies. After Arabella leaves him, Jude moves to Christminster and supports himself as a mason while studying alone, hoping to be able to enter the university later. There, he meets and falls in love with his free-spirited cousin, Sue Bridehead. But, shortly after this, Jude introduces Sue to his former schoolteacher, Mr. Phillotson, whom she eventually marries. However, she soon regrets this, because in addition to being in love with Jude, she is physically disgusted by her husband, and, apparently, by sex in general. Sue soon leaves Phillotson for Jude. Because of the scandal Phillotson has to give up his career as a schoolmaster. Sue and Jude spend some time living together without any sexual relationship, because of Sue's dislike both of sex and the institution of marriage. Soon after, Arabella reappears and this complicates matters. But Arabella and Jude divorce and she legally marries her bigamous husband, and Sue also is divorced. However, following this, Arabella reveals that she had a child of Jude's, eight months after they separated, and subsequently sends this child to his father. He is named Jude and nicknamed "Little Father Time" because of his intense seriousness and moroseness. Jude eventually convinces Sue to sleep with him and, over the years, they have two children together and expect the third. But Jude and Sue are socially ostracised for living together unmarried, especially after the children are born. Jude's employers dismiss him because of the illicit relationship, and the family is forced into a nomadic lifestyle, moving from town to town across Wessex seeking employment and housing before eventually returning to Christminster. Their socially troubled boy, "Little Father Time", comes to believe that he and his half-siblings are the source of the family's woes. The morning after their arrival in Christminster, he murders Sue's two children and commits suicide by hanging. He leaves behind a note that simply reads, "Done because we are too menny." Shortly thereafter, Sue has a miscarriage. Beside herself with grief and blaming herself for "Little Father Time"'s actions, Sue turns to the church that she has rebelled against and comes to believe that the children's deaths were divine retribution for her relationship with Jude. Although horrified at the thought of resuming her marriage with Phillotson, she becomes convinced that, for religious reasons, she should never have left him. Arabella discovers Sue's feelings and informs Phillotson, who soon proposes they remarry. This results in Sue leaving Jude once again for Phillotson. Jude is devastated and remarries Arabella after she plies him with alcohol to once again trick him into marriage. After one final, desperate visit to Sue in freezing weather, Jude becomes seriously ill and dies within the year. It is revealed that Sue has grown "staid and worn" with Phillotson. Arabella fails to mourn Jude's passing, instead setting the stage to ensnare her next suitor. The events of Jude the Obscure occur over a 19-year period, but no dates are specifically given in the novel. Aged 11 at the beginning of the novel, by the time of his death, Jude seems much older than his thirty years, for he has experienced so much disappointment and grief in his total life experience. It would seem that his burdens exceeded his sheer ability to survive, much less to triumph. Question: Who doesn't morn the death of Jude? Answer: Arabella

What is the best way to make a camp fire Answer: Nothing screams camping out in the wilderness like building a campfire. The memories, conversations, scents, roasted marshmallows, and crackling of the wood are all part of the experience. In order to build a strong campfire, you need to perform the following steps. Step 1. Clear a perimeter that is roughly 12 feet in diameter. Make sure you are in an open area, where tree limbs are not hanging over the campfire to avoid secondary fires. Before you start the fire, get all of the necessary components such as dry kindle/twigs, larger sticks, and larger logs, paper, and lighter Step 2. Build a small tepee shape with the dry kindle and dry small logs. I would recommend adding paper with the kindle to assist in starting the fire. Step 3. Stack larger sticks around the teepee structure in a square formation. Build up multiple levels, so the square structue is higher than the teepee. This will help the fire expand and spread to the surrounding structure. Step 4. Light the paper in the teepee with a match or lighter, and watch the dry kindle start to catch. At this early stage, you will most likely see smoke. You may need to blow on the teepee structure lightly in order to add some oxygen to the fire and help it catch to the larger sticks square structure. Step 5. Once the square structure begins to light, start to add larger logs diagonally across the structure. The diagonal formation will fuel the fire, and expand upwards . Step 6. Keep adding larger logs to maintain the fire. With the prior kindle, sticks, and logs already hot, adding the new larger logs will burn quickly and self ignite. Step 7. When you are done enjoying the fire, have a couple of buckets of water nearby to extinguish it. Do not leave the campfire unattended as the hot coals and wind could cause a unintended spread.

Question: What are some uses for a garden bucket with a hole in it? Answer: A bucket with a hole in it may be compromised from holding liquid within it. However, the bucket can still be useful for many other scenarios. For example, the bucket can be used to hold solids (eg rocks, dirt, toys) that are generally larger than the size of the hole. The bucket could also be repurposed as a watering can, or as a small seat to sit on while working in the garden.

Question: Selene buys two instant cameras at $110 and three digital photo frames at $120 each. She gets a 5% discount on all the items she purchased. How much does she pay in all? Answer: Two instant camera cost 2 x $110 = $<<2*110=220>>220. Three digital photo frames cost 3 x $120 = $<<3*120=360>>360. Thus, the total amount is $220 + $360 = $<<220+360=580>>580. So, Selena gets a discount of 5/100 x 580 = $<<5/100*580=29>>29. Therefore, Selena pays a total of $580 - $29 = $<<580-29=551>>551. The answer is 551.

(CNN) -- Mexican President Felipe Calderon will return to Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua, for the second time in as many weeks on Wednesday morning, a spokesman for the municipal police department said. "For security reasons, details are nonexistent," police department spokesman Jacinto Seguro said. Calderon will attend a meeting with local, state and federal officials, as well as civic and human rights groups, on Wednesday in Ciudad Juarez, which has been plagued by violence stemming from drug cartels. The January 31 killings in southern Juarez of 15 people, most of whom were students with no ties to organized crime, has sparked outrage across the country. The slayings, which occurred at a house party, are thought to be the result of bad intelligence by a cartel and the gang that carried out the killings. President Calderon, who has faced mounting pressure this month from Juarez residents to resign, will be visiting the city for the third time since assuming power in December 2006. Last week in Juarez, Calderon apologized to the families of the 15 people killed and promised residents that their input would form part of the strategy against drug-related violence. Residents of Juarez attempting to highlight the growing frustration with Calderon's war against organized crime took to the streets by the hundreds on Saturday. Many held signs targeted at Calderon reading, "Assassin." On Tuesday, police said a business owner and his 24-year-old secretary were found slain inside a business near southern Juarez at 11 a.m. "It's not new that the cartels target business owners, but killing his secretary, that's something that you don't see too often," Seguro said. Also Tuesday, 20 students found skipping class and drinking in the street were detained by police as part of an effort to curtail unlawful street activity, Seguro said. Violence in Juarez comes amid a backdrop of vastly increased numbers of homicides nationwide, as drug cartels battle each other and the Mexican government steps up its efforts to combat them. The government has not released official figures, but national media say 7,600 Mexicans lost their lives in the war on drugs in 2009. Calderon said last year that 6,500 Mexicans died in drug violence in 2008. Officials say more than 16,000 Mexicans have died since Calderon declared war on the drug cartels shortly after taking office in December 2006. Summarize this article. Calderon visited Juarez last week to discuss slayings of 15 people . Latest visit will be his third since taking office in 2006 . Calderon's resignation has been sought by residents . He is leading a campaign to rid Mexico of drug trafficking .

Passage: The story begins when a female lovely named Olivia, having fled captivity from the city of Akif, is chased down and cornered in a marsh, on the edge of the Vilayet Sea. Her pursuer and former master is a sadistic rogue named Shah Amurath. But before he can lay hands on her, a figure rises from the reeds. The newcomer has seen all his friends betrayed and treacherously cut down to a man before escaping into the marshes. There he has hidden out for so long he is nearly mad. The newcomer quickly dispatches Shah Amurath, then he and Olivia hop in a boat and decide to lie low for a little while. Only then does the newcomer identify himself: Conan the Cimmerian. Conan and Olivia find their way to a dark and apparently deserted island, where they spend the night sleeping in ancient ruins decorated with remarkably lifelike statues. Olivia has a dream in which she sees a band of men turned into those statues and wakes convinced they will come to life in the moonlight. Conan is less than convinced of Olivia's fears; he is more concerned by whatever it is lurking in the jungle, lobbing giant boulders at the two fugitives. A pirate ship makes port on the island. Leaving Olivia hidden in the brush, Conan challenges their captain, an old rival. He slays the pirate captain, but is knocked unconscious by a stone from a sling. The pirates bind him and take him with them to the ruins where they discuss his fate, until they pass out drunk. Olivia meanwhile, narrowly escapes from a massive and dark figure that pursues her up to the ruins. Olivia sneaks past the drunken and sleeping pirates and frees Conan. Conan then slays the dark figure that pursued Olivia, a giant man-ape, which had also been hurling the boulders at them. As Conan recovers from his battle with the man-ape, they hear the beginning of a horrific slaughter back at the ruins. The two quickly head back to the deserted pirate ship. As Conan prepares the ship to sail, a band of beaten and bedraggled pirates comes and asks to come aboard and leave the "devil island." Conan challenges them and they accept him as their captain. At the end Olivia begs Conan to allow her to stay with him, and he, laughing, accepts, saying he will make her "Queen of the Blue Sea." Question: What kind of queen does Olivia become?

Passage: The Build Back Better Plan or Build Back Better agenda was a legislative framework proposed by U.S. president Joe Biden between 2020 and 2021. Generally viewed as ambitious in size and scope, it sought the largest nationwide public investment in social, infrastructural, and environmental programs since the 1930s Great Depression-era policies of the New Deal. The Build Back Better plan was divided into three parts: American Rescue Plan (ARP), a COVID-19 pandemic-relief bill; American Jobs Plan (AJP), a proposal to address long-neglected infrastructure needs and reduce America's contributions to destructive effects of climate change; and American Families Plan (AFP), a proposal to fund a variety of social policy initiatives, some of which (e.g., paid family leave) had never before been enacted nationally in the U.S. The first part was passed as the $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, and was signed into law in March 2021. The other two parts were reworked into different bills over the course of extensive negotiations. Aspects of the AJP's infrastructure goals were diverted into the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed into law in November 2021. Other AJP priorities (e.g., climate change remediation, home health care reform, etc.) were then merged with the AFP to form the Build Back Better Act. The bill passed the Democratic-controlled House of Representatives but struggled to gain the support of Democrats Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona in the evenly divided Senate, with unified Republican opposition. Manchin and Sinema negotiated the reduction of Build Back Better Act's size, scope, and cost significantly with Biden and Democratic congressional leaders, but Manchin, widely viewed as the key swing vote needed to pass the bill in the Senate, ultimately rejected it over the procedural tactics used. Continued negotiations between Manchin and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer eventually resulted in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, which was signed into law in August 2022, and incorporated some of the Build Back Better Act's climate change, healthcare, and tax reform proposals while excluding its social safety net proposals. Question: Given a reference text about the Build Back Better Plan, what are the 3 parts that make up the plan? \Answer: The three components of the Build Back Better plan are: - American Rescue Plan - American Jobs Plan - American Families Plan

Washington (CNN) -- When President Obama raises his hand, I will put down my pen. Or rather, I will step away from my computer keyboard. Inauguration Day will signal the culmination of an effort I launched on January 20, 2009, to write a letter to the White House every single day of Barack Obama's first term. And I do mean every day. Weekends, holidays, when he was on vacation, and when I was on vacation. I wrote in my office, at home, in moving airplanes, cars, trains and even while running through the woods. I wrote early in the morning, in the middle of the day and late at night. I wrote about things that were important, like unemployment, Afghanistan and women's rights. I also wrote about things that were trivial, like sports, favorite foods and my yearly battle with Christmas lights. The tally: 1,460 letters, well over a half-million words, or enough to fill about seven novels. Laid out as one line of text, these letters would stretch almost 3½ miles or considerably longer than the inaugural parade route. I did not intend to get in this deep. Read Tom Foreman's latest letter to Obama ... and all the others . The first letter, written on that cold Inauguration Day four years ago, was a bit of a lark. Some weeks earlier, Barack Obama had suggested he wanted to hear from citizens about how to run the country. I thought it would be funny to post a series of letters for his first 10 days on the AC360 blog. People liked it, I decided to go for a month, and Bob's-your-uncle here we are. The first year was easy. We all have ideas about what we would do if we were in charge. Bad ideas usually, but ideas nonetheless. I prattled on about the economy, security, bipartisanship, foreign affairs and his bowling technique. The second year grew a bit harder. By thinking every day about the presidency, I became more aware of how many intractable, repetitive issues press down upon any person who takes that job. It's Biden time . In the third year, I surged ahead. Having accepted that my fountain of easy ideas had run dry, I dedicated more serious thought to what I would say. To be sure, the letters became less entertaining, but I liked to imagine that they had more substance, although in retrospect I was probably wrong. And in this fourth year, I struggled. It seemed many days as if I'd already said everything I had to say and then some. At one point I had considered writing letters to the White House for the rest of my life. The fourth year convinced me that this would be a bad idea. I found myself counting the days to January. Obama's new term resolutions . Along the way it occurred to me that being president is probably much harder than most of us suppose. After all, if it is this exhausting just thinking about the job, imagine what it is like actually punching the Oval Office clock. Truthfully, I offered very little advice. More often I presented general notions about how one approaches problems; the same notions I would pass on to anyone in any position who faces daily challenges. Which, I guess, is pretty much all of us. I don't know if he ever read a single line. All I know is that in almost every missive, I invited the president to give me a call. He never did. And I don't blame him. Beware the tortoise . Whether a Democrat or Republican fills that office, answering to the needs of 311 million people is a magnificent and daunting challenge, let alone answering their letters. So I will close my series with the same letter that started it all, by far the shortest of the bunch. Dear Mr. President, . Congratulations! Watching you on that podium today, surrounded by so many hundreds of thousands of Americans, I could not help but feel inspired by the miracle of democracy and the greatness of our nation. I also have a question: Do you have any idea what you've gotten yourself into? I know you are busy today, but call when you can. Regards, . Tom . Summarize this article. Tom Foreman wrote 1,460 letters to President Obama . He did not intend to get in this deep . Letters included a simple request: "Please call" Foreman is still waiting on Obama's call .

Q: I grew up in a country where we were not allowed to leave/travel to an other country even when we were able to do so – we had the resources and dual nationality. After two decades I still can't figure out why dictators, like Kim Jong-un for example, ban people from leaving their home countries? Could it be that a dictator is usually interested in looting the country he rules, and having a smaller population means more natural resources for him and fewer protesters? A: People are resources, dictators (and oppressive regimes in general) don't want them to defect to other countries because they want them working for their regime. Some of them are going to be people that the regime has put their resources into, like scientists and doctors, but even laborers are valuable for actually gathering and assembling the resources the regime needs. Additionally, the regime especially does not want people with access to sensitive information to defect to their enemies. That isn't just spies and soldiers, there are plenty of "regular" government positions that require access to something the regime would not want falling into enemy hands, like economic data that could be used for propaganda. Obviously this is true of any country, and even in democracies with strong human rights records, people with access to classified information are usually required to submit to strict scrutiny of their international travel. Given that they aren't concerned with human rights, dictatorships can take the easier option of restricting travel to any citizens. However, defection is really a piece of a bigger issue - oppressive regimes maintain their rule in part by controlling information. Here's an interesting article that talks about how dictatorships keep power. Jerrold Post, director of the political psychology program at George Washington University, is referenced: Post said that in both Iraq and North Korea, dictators tightly controlled the flow of information. That control was upended in the past two years during the "Arab spring" revolts that swept away despots in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and some of the Gulf states, revolts that were encouraged in large part by information spread by cell phones and social media. North Korea is probably the most extreme example of information control (according to Reporters without Borders, they are dead last in Press Freedom in the world), but this can be seen in other oppressive regimes - for example, China attempts to limit access to "wrong" information via its Great Firewall. This is thrown out the window if citizens go somewhere with free media and realize they are being lied to. Traveling can be the cause of their dissension, rather than a symptom. Known dissidents may also be restricted from traveling so that they can not coordinate with foreign countries or anti-dictatorship organizations, and to prevent them from smuggling contraband or evidence of the regime's misinformation back into the country. Regimes can control the information originating in their country, but once someone is outside their borders the regime cannot control who they speak with.

Question: Why are Christmas markets so popular in Germany? Answer: Germans love Christmas markets because they are a lot of fun. They are a great way to socialize and get out of the house in the darkest time of the year. Christmas markets start at the end of November and last until Christmas. Every small town has at least one. It's best to go there when it's cold, because everybody drinks Gluehwein (mulled wine) to warm up. You can find typical German food at these markets as well as local crafts, so you can get your Christmas shopping done.

Question: Mara and Riley went to a carnival, Mara rode the bumper car two times, Riley rode the space shuttle four times, and they both rode the Ferris wheel three times. If a ticket for a bumper car cost $2, a ticket for a space shuttle cost $4, and a ticket for a Ferris wheel cost $5, how much money did they spend? Answer: Mara spent $2 x 2 = $<<2*2=4>>4 for riding the bumper car two times. Riley spent $4 x 4 = $<<4*4=16>>16 for riding the space shuttle 4 times. They spent $5 x 3 = $<<5*3=15>>15 each riding the Ferris wheel 3 times. So, they spent a total of $15 x 2= $<<15*2=30>>30 riding the Ferris wheel. Therefore the total amount they spent at the carnival is $4 + $16 + $30 = $<<4+16+30=50>>50. The answer is 50.

Passage: Dr. Goodwin is on a botanical expedition in the Himalayas. There he meets Dick Drake, the son of one of his old science acquaintances. They are witnesses of a strange aurora-like effect, but seemingly a deliberate one. As they go out to investigate, they meet Goodwin's old friends Martin and Ruth Ventnor, brother and sister scientists. The two are besieged by Persians as Darius III led when Alexander of Macedon conquered them more than two thousand years ago. The group is saved by a magnificent woman they get to know as Norhala. She commands the power of lightning and controls strange metal animate Things, living, metallic, geometric forms; an entire city of sentient cubes, globes and tetrahedrons, capable of joining together and forming colossal shapes, and wielding death rays and other armaments of destruction. They are led to a hidden valley occupied by what they name "The Metal Monster", a strange metal city occupied by the metal animate Things Norhala commands. This city is governed by what they call the Metal Emperor, assisted by the Keeper of the Cones. Ruth is slowly being converted by Norhala to become like her; her little sister. Martin, her brother, tries shooting the Metal Emperor, who retaliates with a ray blast, putting Martin in a comatose state. Closed in between the Metal Monster and the Persians, it falls to Goodwin and Drake to find a way to escape their predicament. Question: Who are after Martin and Ruth? Answer: Persians

Passage: In Southern California, shortly after the Mexican-American War, a Scots-Native American orphan girl, Ramona, is raised by Señora Gonzaga Moreno, the sister of Ramona's deceased foster mother. Ramona is referred to as illegitimate in some summaries of the novel, but chapter 3 of the novel says that Ramona's parents were married by a priest in the San Gabriel Mission. Señora Moreno has raised Ramona as part of the family, giving her every luxury, but only because Ramona's foster mother had requested it as her dying wish. Because of Ramona's mixed Native American heritage, Moreno does not love her. That love is reserved for her only child, Felipe Moreno, whom she adores. Señora Moreno considers herself a Mexican, although California has recently been taken over by the United States. She hates the Americans, who have cut up her huge rancho after disputing her claim to it. Señora Moreno delays the sheep shearing, a major event on the rancho, awaiting the arrival of a group of Native Americans from Temecula whom she always hires for that work. She is also awaiting a priest, Father Salvierderra, from Santa Barbara. She arranges for the priest so that the Native American workers can worship and make confession in her chapel, rather than leaving the rancho. Ramona falls in love with Alessandro, a young Native American sheepherder and the son of Pablo Assis, the chief of the tribe. Señora Moreno is outraged, because although Ramona is half-Native American, the Señora does not want her to marry a Native American. Ramona realizes that Señora Moreno has never loved her and she and Alessandro elope. Alessandro and Ramona have a daughter, and travel around Southern California trying to find a place to settle. In the aftermath of the war, Alessandro's tribe was driven off their land, marking the beginning of European-American settlement in California. They endure misery and hardship, for the Americans who buy their land also demand their houses and their farm tools. Greedy Americans drive them off from several homesteads, and they cannot find a permanent community that is not threatened by encroachment of United States settlers. They finally move up into the San Bernardino Mountains. Alessandro slowly loses his mind, due to the constant humiliation. He loves Ramona fiercely, and regrets having taken her away from relative comfort in return for "bootless" wandering. Their daughter "Eyes of the Sky" dies because a white doctor would not go to their homestead to treat her. They have another daughter, named Ramona, but Alessandro still suffers. One day he rides off with the horse of an American, who follows him and shoots him, although he knew that Alessandro was mentally unbalanced. Ramona was missing from the rancho for two years. Felipe Moreno finds the widowed Ramona and they go back to Señora Moreno's estate with Ramona's child. Felipe has always loved her and finds her more beautiful than ever. Although Ramona still loves Alessandro, she marries Felipe and they have several more children together, although Ramona and Alessandro's daughter always remains their favorite. Question: What was Ramona's foster mother's dying wish? Answer: That Senora Moreno give raise her and give her every luxury.

By . Laura Clark . PUBLISHED: . 18:19 EST, 5 March 2014 . | . UPDATED: . 19:09 EST, 5 March 2014 . Firm favourite: Enid Blyton's first Famous Five book. The series of children's books is the favourite of parents in Britain, a poll has found . It may be 70 years since they first appeared, but Enid Blyton’s Famous Five novels remain the books most favoured by parents for their children, a poll reveals. The adventures of Julian, Dick, Anne, George and Timmy the dog topped a survey in which parents were asked to name their favourite children’s books. Two other series by Blyton, the Secret Seven and Malory Towers, also made the top five, confirming her status as the nation’s best-loved children’s author. Among children, however, JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series emerged as the favourite. The survey, carried out to mark World Book Day today, suggested that children's book tastes are inherited from their parents since choices were similar across both top 10 charts. Adventure tales, such as Treasure Island, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe and Blyton's 21-book series, first published in 1942, were popular among both audiences. Despite the recent popularity of futuristic titles such as the Hunger Games, the science fiction genre failed to make an impact on the children's list. Instead, classics such as Thomas the Tank Engine, the Mr Men and Little Miss books and the Gruffalo featured strongly in their top 10. Authors appearing in both sets of results were Blyton, whose Famous Five tales came fourth on the children's list, as well as Roald Dahl and CS Lewis. The poll also showed that more than three quarters of children would choose the paper version of a book over an e-book or tablet. Among children dressing up for World Book Day, The Boy Who Lived emerged as the most popular character for children to go as. Along with Harry Potter, other popular costume choices for the day were Horrid Henry, Where's Wally and Cinderella. A scene from one of the Harry Potter films: JK Rowling's series about a boy wizard was the children's favourite . The poll, by Asda, questioned 1,747 parents including 1,000 with children under 13. They answered on their children's behalf. Hayley Whittaker, Asda's childrens' books buyer, said: 'Even though hundreds of new children's titles are released every week, parents and kids alike are united in their love of classic childhood literature, with their humour and adventure proving relevant across generations. 'It's clear to see that kids still think nothing beats the feeling of having a real book in their hands.' There was less positive news about children's reading habits in a separate poll, also released today. Significant numbers of youngsters are unaware that popular characters from films and TV programmes actually originated in books. According to a survey of 500 eight to 13-year-olds, 40 per cent are unaware that Harry Potter started life in a book, and even more - 42 per cent - didn't know Winnie the Pooh is a literary character. Summarize this article. Children chose JK Rowling's Harry Potter series as their favourite . Poll of parents and youngsters was carried out for World Book Day . Survey questioned 1,747 parents including 1,000 with children under 13 .

What is the recipe for a successful hackathon? Answer: LabCorp had its second annual “Innovation Days” (or hackathon) event in February, 2020. The event was a success, and this post describes the secret ingredient that helped make it a success: Lipton® Onion Soup Mix. The soup mix captures the essence of a successful hackathon… some functional, and some personal to the LabCorp leadership. The first reason that the soup mix embodies the spirit of the hackathon is simple: the product is rarely used as it was intended: to make soup. In fact, the soup mix launched into culinary notoriety in the early 1950s for its role in a non-soup recipe: potato chip dip. Referred to as “California Dip” originally, this recipe takes bland sour cream and gives it a flavorful zing and distinctive texture. For over half a century, this soup mix has been a party favorite thanks to people hacking a recipe and using materials in an unexpected manner. The benefit of the soup mix as a dip enhancer is that it helps speed up the process of making a consistently flavorful dip. For people participating in a hackathon, this is something to look for: can hackathon ideas or aspects of the hackathon projects be applied to existing processes to help streamline them? The journey of “inventing” the soup mix also captures the essence of the hackathon. The engineer who helped create this soup mix had failed years earlier. He was not trying to make soup during the Second World War, he was trying to save lives. So he invented a - sadly ineffective - method for freeze-drying blood that could be reconstituted on the battlefield to save lives. His vision for “dried blood” being used on the battlefield was not viable. Let’s hope it did not require too many “QA” folks to realize this product was DOA. Years later, however, it was the method of freeze-drying that was in his mind when he helped design Lipton® Onion Soup Mix. LabCorp CIO, Lance Berberian told the origin story of Lipton® Onion Soup Mix as the keynote speaker during the Innovation Days event. Mr. Berberian recounted the story from his uncle, and, like many stories told by uncles, we hope it to be true. The take-away message, as it relates to hackathons: remember your failed attempts. Aspects of your failed attempts may be core to your future successes. Mr. Berberian was very engaged in the hackathon. In fact, his leadership team was front-and-center on launch day as well as on presentation day. The story about his uncle was powerful because it set the tone for the event: experiment, learn, network, and expect the unexpected. And the unexpected did happen during the event. Near the end of presentation day, a participant in the audience suddenly collapsed and began seizing. Many folks rushed to help and call 911. As a compassionate leader, Mr. Berberian was on the front-lines of the incident, and he stayed with the sick colleague while we waited for an ambulance to arrive. This, I believe, captures the true secret ingredient of a successful hackathon: engaged leadership.

Question: The Donaldsons pay $15 per hour for babysitting. The Merck family pays $18 per hour and the Hille family pays $20 per hour for babysitting. Layla babysat for the Donaldsons for 7 hours, the Merck family for 6 hours and the Hille family for 3 hours. How many dollars did Layla earn babysitting? Answer: Donaldsons pay $15/hour = 15*7 = $<<15*7=105>>105. The Mercks pay $18/hour = 18*6 = $<<18*6=108>>108. The Hilles pay $20/hour = 20*3 = <<20*3=60>>60. The total amount Layla earned is 105 + 108 + 60 = <<105+108+60=273>>273. Layla earned $273 for babysitting. The answer is 273.

Question: Bryan bought three different bottles of milk. The bottles contain the following volumes of milk: 2 liters, 750 milliliters, 250 milliliters. How many liters of milk did Bryan buy in total? Answer: Bryan bought a total of 750 + 250 = <<750+250=1000>>1000 milliliters of milk from the two smaller bottles. Since 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters, then 1000 milliliters is equal to 1000/1000 = <<1000/1000=1>>1 liter. Therefore, Bryan bought a total of 2 + 1 = <<2+1=3>>3 liters of milk. The answer is 3.
