Question: Angelo and Melanie want to plan how many hours over the next week they should study together for their test next week. They have 2 chapters of their textbook to study and 4 worksheets to memorize. They figure out that they should dedicate 3 hours to each chapter of their textbook and 1.5 hours for each worksheet. If they plan to study no more than 4 hours each day, how many days should they plan to study total over the next week if they take a 10-minute break every hour, include 3 10-minute snack breaks each day, and 30 minutes for lunch each day? Answer:

Angelo and Melanie think they should dedicate 3 hours to each of the 2 chapters, 3 hours x 2 chapters = <<3*2=6>>6 hours total. For the worksheets they plan to dedicate 1.5 hours for each worksheet, 1.5 hours x 4 worksheets = <<1.5*4=6>>6 hours total. Angelo and Melanie need to start with planning 12 hours to study, at 4 hours a day, 12 / 4 = <<12/4=3>>3 days. However, they need to include time for breaks and lunch. Every hour they want to include a 10-minute break, so 12 total hours x 10 minutes = <<12*10=120>>120 extra minutes for breaks. They also want to include 3 10-minute snack breaks, 3 x 10 minutes = <<3*10=30>>30 minutes. And they want to include 30 minutes for lunch each day, so 120 minutes for breaks + 30 minutes for snack breaks + 30 minutes for lunch = 180 minutes, or 180 / 60 minutes per hour = 3 extra hours. So Angelo and Melanie want to plan 12 hours to study + 3 hours of breaks = <<12+3=15>>15 hours total. They want to study no more than 4 hours each day, 15 hours / 4 hours each day = <<15/4=3.75>>3.75 They will need to plan to study 4 days to allow for all the time they need. The answer is 4.

Question: Leticia, Scarlett, and Percy decide to eat at a Greek restaurant for lunch. The prices for their dishes cost $10, $13, and $17, respectively. If the trio gives the waiter a 10% tip, how much gratuity should the waiter receive in dollars? Answer:

The total bill comes to $10 + $13 + $17 = $<<10+13+17=40>>40. The total gratuity earned comes to $40 * 0.1 = $<<40*0.1=4>>4 The answer is 4.

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

Scottsville, New York

Question: There are 45 children in a classroom. One-third of them are girls. How many boys are in the classroom? Answer:

One-third of all the kids are girls, which means 1/3 * 45 = <<1/3*45=15>>15 children. So there are 45 - 15 = <<45-15=30>>30 boys in the classroom. The answer is 30.

By . Daily Mail Reporter . A baby boy born with two life-threatening holes in his heart has just celebrated his first birthday - thanks to a cow heart. Ruben Weber-Jackson, from Beverley, Yorkshire, was suffering from restricted breathing because of the holes. Now, during two major operations, they have been repaired - using tissue from a cow's heart - and he can breathe normally. Ruben Weber-Jackson was born with two life-threatening holes in his heart, which restricted his breathing . When Ruben was born last year, his parents thought he was a happy and healthy baby. His mother Petra, 29, said: 'He was pink and everything seemed perfect, really. But in hindsight, there were probably a few little signs, but nothing significant that made us think there was a real problem. 'I remember saying he was such an easy baby who sleeps a lot and was very calm. He also had swollen eyes and there is one photo we took where his lips looked slightly purple.' But when he was two weeks and two days old, she noticed his breathing was unusual. She said: 'I just had a niggling feeling something wasn't right. He was breathing funny but I thought I was just being a paranoid parent. But it got worse and I took him to the GP, who sent us to Hull Royal Infirmary.' Now during two major operations, they have been repaired - using tissue from a cow's heart . Thanks to the cow tissue, Ruben can now breathe normally and has just celebrated his first birthday . Hospital scans showed Ruben had two holes in his heart and a narrowing of the aorta. It meant his circulation was severely compromised - which explained his unusual breathing and purple lips - and he was rushed in for dangerous open-heart surgery. It was during the second operation where the doctors used tissue from a cow's heart, which has saved his life. The procedure, known as a bovine pericardial patch, has saved Ruben's life and allowed him to live to see his first birthday. His mother Petra said: 'There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about how different our lives could be now - how very close we came to losing him' His mother said: 'There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about how different our lives could be now -how very close we came to losing him. 'In some ways, I think he subconsciously knows - he is such a happy baby and he seems to want to make the most out of life.' 'Throughout everything, people kept saying to me "I . couldn't be as strong as you are". But the truth is, you don't know how . strong you can be until you've not got a choice.'

Passage: The tale begins with Tommy Brock, a badger, being entertained by old Mr. Bouncer, the father of Benjamin Bunny. Mr. Bouncer has been left to tend his grandchildren while his son and daughter-in-law Flopsy are away, but, after smoking a pipe of rabbit-tobacco, he falls asleep in Tommy's company. Tommy puts the bunnies in his sack and slips out. When the parents return, Benjamin sets off in pursuit of the thief. Benjamin finds and brings his cousin Peter Rabbit into the rescue venture, and the two discover Tommy has invaded one of Mr. Tod's homes. Mr. Tod, a fox, has multiple homes but keeps moving. Often Tommy lodges in his homes. Peeping through the bedroom window, the rabbits see Tommy asleep in Mr. Tod's bed, and, peeping through the kitchen window, they see the table set for a meal. They realise the bunnies are alive, but shut in the oven. They try to dig a tunnel into the house but hide when Mr. Tod suddenly arrives in a very bad temper, which has caused him to move house. The fox discovers the badger asleep in his bed, and originally plans to hit him, but decides against this due to the Badger's teeth. He decides to play a trick upon him involving a pail of water balanced on the overhead tester of the bed. Brock however is awake, escapes the trick, and makes tea for himself in the kitchen. Mr. Tod thinks the bucket has killed Tommy and decides to bury him in the tunnel the rabbits have dug, thinking Tommy dug it. When Mr. Tod discovers Tommy in the Kitchen and has tea thrown over him, a violent fight erupts that continues outdoors. The two roll away down the hill still fighting. Benjamin and Peter quickly gather the bunnies, and return home in triumph. Question: Who is Benjamin's cousin? Answer:

Peter Rabit.

Passage: The preface of the novel consists of two real-life newspaper articles from 1975 about terrorist Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, known as "Carlos the Jackal." The story opens with gunfire on a boat in the Mediterranean Sea. One man is cast into the waves before the boat explodes, and is later picked up by fishermen, who find him clinging to debris. They also find he is suffering from amnesia, apparently as a result of a traumatic head injury, with occasional erratic intrusions or flashbacks to the past, but is unable to make sense of them. The only definite evidence of his former life is a small film negative found embedded in his hip containing the information required to access a bank account in Zurich. When he goes to Zurich to gain access to the bank, a clerk recognizes him. From this the man concludes that his name is "Jason Charles Bourne", that he has relations with a firm called Treadstone Seventy-One Corporation, and that his account holds 7,500,000 Swiss francs (equivalent to $5,000,000 in the novel). Circumstantial evidence leads Bourne to suspect that he should go to Paris, so he wires most of the money there. At the bank and his hotel, men suddenly try to kill Bourne, so he quickly takes another hotel guest, Canadian government economist Marie St. Jacques, as a hostage in order to escape. After escaping from Bourne, St. Jacques reports his whereabouts to men she thinks are police, but they turn out to be Bourne's pursuers and professional killers who try to rape and kill her. When Bourne rescues her at the risk of his own life, St. Jacques decides to help him. They head to Paris to find clues about Bourne's past. Once in Paris, Bourne learns that his attackers' leader may be "Carlos," who is described as the most dangerous terrorist of his time, responsible for numerous killings in many countries and well connected in the highest government circles. For reasons only partly comprehensible to himself, Bourne develops a compulsion to hunt Carlos. As the story develops, Bourne follows clues that bring him closer to Carlos, leading him to places such as a designer clothing store used as relay for Carlos. Though Bourne twice briefly sees Carlos, he does not manage to catch or kill him. To his distress, Bourne also finds mounting evidence that he himself is a rival assassin called ″Cain.″ Meanwhile, he and St. Jacques are falling in love. It turns out that Cain is an alias that had been assumed by Bourne—whose real name is not even "Bourne"—to hunt down Carlos; Cain took credit for kills as a way of challenging Carlos as part of a top-secret American plot. The plot is called Treadstone Seventy-One, and the truth is known only to eight men selected by covert agencies of the U.S. government; everyone else assumes Cain to be a real person. Due to Bourne's six-month silence (while he was recuperating) and the unauthorized diversion of millions of dollars from the Zurich account, the Treadstone men start to believe that Bourne has become a traitor. They are entirely convinced of his guilt when one of Carlos' operatives storms the building in which Treadstone is based, kills those inside, and then frames Bourne for the murders. The man now responsible for Treadstone attempts to lure Bourne into a meeting outside of Paris to kill him. Bourne escapes the trap, but does not succeed in proving his innocence. In Paris, Bourne has managed to convince a French General named Villiers to help him. Bourne realizes that Villiers' wife is a mole for Carlos. When the General hears about it, he finally kills his wife and Bourne takes the blame in order to bait Carlos into following him to the United States. Only after Bourne has left do St. Jacques and Villiers manage to convince Treadstone members that Bourne is innocent, and is continuing to hunt Carlos. In New York, Bourne is confronted by Carlos. They wound each other, but when Carlos is on the verge of killing Bourne, some of the remaining Treadstone members arrive at the scene and force Carlos to retreat. The epilogue sees St. Jacques being told about Bourne's past, most of which had been revealed in fragments already: He had been an American Foreign Service officer stationed in Asia during the Vietnam War. When his wife and two children were killed, he joined a paramilitary unit in Vietnam. During one mission, he discovered and executed the double agent Jason Bourne. He took the name years later when he was recruited for Treadstone. At the novel's end, it is revealed that "Bourne" has recovered from the encounter with Carlos and probably lives together with St. Jacques. He remains the only one to ever have seen the face of Carlos and may be able to recognize him as a public figure, but is unable to do so due to his erratic memory. As a consequence, he is protected day and night by armed watchmen, in the hope he will one day recover enough to identify Carlos. The plot closes with him remembering his first name. Question: What sum so contained in Jason's Zurich account? Answer:

7.5 million Swiss francs

When I first poked my head inside Virgin Galactic's newest spaceship, I felt a little like I was getting a front-row seat to space history. The company, led by billionaire Richard Branson, allowed CNN unprecedented access to a "SpaceShipTwo, Serial Two" spacecraft which was being carefully assembled by workers at a secure facility in the high desert north of Los Angeles. This invention spun from carbon fiber and imagination is designed to fly tourists some 60 miles high to the edge of space. In 2008, Branson predicted the company would be launching paying passengers by 2010. Obviously that hasn't happened yet. Meanwhile, more than 700 people -- reportedly including astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, Justin Bieber and Ashton Kutcher -- are awaiting to gain official status as Space Cowboys. The latest word: Virgin Galactic says it's on track to begin commercial service by the end of this year. "Rome wasn't built in a day," Branson tweeted in January. The spaceship I boarded isn't expected to fly until 2015. I was asked not to take photos or video. From the inside, it looks bigger than you'd expect after seeing its 60-foot-long exterior. For some reason I expected more machinery during assembly. Standing inside the cabin's shell, I found four technicians working away with precision and TLC. There were no furnishings installed yet, so I tried to imagine which of the six seats in the spacecraft would be my choice -- if I could afford a $250,000 ticket. The cabin is dotted with so many windows it blew me away -- a side window and a ceiling window for every passenger. I imagined myself in the front row. Right side. Stepping carefully to the window, I remembered what space travelers have said about the power of seeing the awe-inspiring curvature of the Earth and what a life-changing experience that is. I was sort of projecting that as I stood inside the spaceship. Here's how Virgin Galactic's space tours are supposed to work: Six passengers and two pilots will board a SpaceShipTwo -- a combination rocket and glider. The ship is attached to a powerful airplane, called a WhiteKnightTwo. That plane flies the rocket/gilder up to about 50,000 feet. Then the real fun starts. The pilots separate the spacecraft from the plane. They ignite the spacecraft's rocket engine, creating G-forces that pin passengers back in their seats, according to Virgin Galactic. They'll experience "eye-watering acceleration" to nearly 2,500 mph, more than three times the speed of sound. As the ship reaches higher and higher, the cobalt blue sky turns to black. Then: engines off. Silence. Passengers will be allowed out of their seats -- to feel that weightlessness we've all heard so much about. It will be interesting to learn what really happens during the six minutes of weightlessness that Virgin Galactic says passengers will get on each flight. Imagine all six passengers inside this cabin as they're dying to get that space-faring-selfie they can post online for the rest of their lives. I'm wondering: What are the rules in space to get those photos? How is that going to work? Is everyone going to be bumping into each other while they're floating around the cabin? There were four workers in the ship's cabin with me, and I could imagine us all bumping into each other -- accidentally throwing an elbow while we tried to maintain balance and control in zero-G. After the weightless portion of the flight -- if all goes according to plan -- passengers will strap themselves back into their seats before the spacecraft yields to the forces of gravity and begins its glide downward toward sweet Mother Earth. Related: What does a Virgin Galactic ticket get you? Perhaps the real, lasting value of this experience will be what passengers bring back with them. Will it change the way they live here on Earth? Virgin Galactic says its primary goal isn't about pushing the boundaries of space exploration. It's about offering people a chance to gain a new perspective on the world -- literally and figuratively. Will seeing the beauty of the planet shift the way passengers interact with the environment? Will it trigger people to embrace more environmentally sustainable lifestyles and technologies? Whatever the case, the Virgin Galactic website promises: "Life will never quite be the same again." As anticipation builds towards the maiden passenger flight, here are seven things about the program you may not know: . 1. Can we call them astronauts? Virgin Galactic refers to its space tourists as "passenger astronauts." But Buzz Aldrin doesn't like it. "I don't think they should be called astronauts," Aldrin told CNN in 2010. "That term was created by the U.S. military. My suggestions would be star-traveler or starflyer." Aldrin knows from astronauts. Let's not forget he was the the second astronaut to walk on the moon. 2. Chinese nationals are banned from flights . U.S. anti-espionage laws require Virgin Galactic to ban Chinese nationals from its flights, according to the South China Morning Post. Why? Because rocket engines on the Virgin Galactic vessels reportedly are considered military-grade technology under U.S. arms trafficking laws established during the Cold War. The legislation was designed to prevent certain foreign powers, such as China, from getting hold of U.S. military tech secrets. 3. Virgin Galactic accepts Bitcoin . For the unaware: Bitcoin is an experimental form of money that exists only online. It's not regulated by any central authorty. About 12 million Bitcoins have entered circulation. Branson told CNNMoney last January that a "future astronaut, a female flight attendant from Hawaii, has already purchased her Virgin Galactic ticket using Bitcoins." 4. Look who's hitching a ride: NASA . As everyone knows, NASA figured out how to go to the moon long ago. Now, after the death of the shuttle program, the legendary space agency is relying on others for transportation. Virgin Galactic has agreed to carry a dozen NASA technology experiments on its first commercial research flight. 5. Should Virgin Galactic partner with Google? Doug Messier, managing editor of the space news site parabolicarc.com, speculates that Virgin Galactic and Google might make a good match to help Google gain a foothold in space. Google already is developing flying wind-turbine technology. 6. DiCaprio's secret seat-mate . At a charity auction last year in France, an anonymous bidder won a Virgin Galactic seat next to actor Leonardo DiCaprio, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Winning bid: $1.5 million. 7. Breakfast in London, lunch in LA . Branson is said to be looking down the road to even more space ventures, including high-speed, point-to-point travel on Earth. Imagine traveling by rocket-plane from London to Singapore in an hour -- or from London to Los Angeles in a couple of hours. With every delay, the global attention on Virgin Galactic intensifies to prove that it will accomplish what it set out to do years ago. I can't wait to see what happens next. We'll keep you posted. Summarize this article.

By . Larisa Brown . PUBLISHED: . 11:08 EST, 17 September 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 12:41 EST, 17 September 2012 . Victim: Ryan King, 20, who died after he was stabbed in the neck with a glass bottle at a 40th birthday party in Devon . A former boxer murdered his great nephew by slashing his throat with a wine glass during a family party at a country mansion, a court has heard. Raymond Dupree is accused of killing 20-year-old Ryan King by stabbing him with a wine glass, after the elder man complained about music being played by teenage girls in the early hours. Mr King was said to have calmly stuck up for the 13- and 14-year-old girls who were at the gathering, held on August 20 last year to celebrate Mr King's pregnant mother's 40th birthday. Raymond Dupree, 68, argued with victim Ryan King, 20, after he intervened when Dupree told a group of 13 and 14-year-old girls to stop playing music. It was alleged that Mr King told him to calm down after he ordered the girls to go to bed at 3am on August 20, 2011. But Dupree responded by picking up a wine glass and stabbing it into his neck. The party was being held at a sprawling rural estate in South Molton, Devon, for Mr King's pregnant mother's 40th birthday. Witnesses said Dupree had been clenching a glass when he punched Mr . King in the neck as the party came to an end. As Mr King fell to the floor clutching his wound, Dupree . was said to have shown no remorse, saying: 'I’ve done him,' before . leaving the estate and walking home. A terrified Mr King told shocked onlookers that he thought he was going . to die, while friends frantically called for help. Mr King was taken to . hospital but died later as a result of his injuries. Speaking at the opening of the murder trial at Exeter Crown Court today, . prosecutor Simon Laws QC said Dupree 'grossly over-reacted to a trivial . dispute'. Mr Laws said: 'A recurring theme is that he believed Ryan owed him respect and it was disrespectful to stand up to him. He felt it was very serious, serious enough for him to lash out.' He added: 'There was simply no reason for Dupree to have used any . force at all, still less the fatal force that he actually used. 'Mr King lost his life quite needlessly. His death was a product of Dupree’s bad temper and his pride.' Exeter Crown Court heard Dupree and Mr King were among around 30 people . celebrating Lisa Wilson’s birthday at the luxury Snurridge Manor House . near South Molton in north Devon, which was owned by Dupree’s sister. Raymond John Dupree, accused of the murder of his great nephew Ryan King, leaves Exeter Magistrates Court . Revellers said the party was 'going well', with music, a buffet and karaoke. But, as guests began to leave the party, witnesses said the atmosphere began to change. Mr Laws told the court: 'Dupree was behaving in a manner which was, at the very least, overbearing. The court heard how Mr King, pictured, told Dupree to calm down after he ordered teenage girls to go to bed at 3am . 'Mr King intervened on behalf of a young girl that was bearing the brunt of the defendant’s temper.' He said Mr King asked Dupree to leave the girl alone, prompting Dupree to say his relative should 'respect his elders'. Dupree had apparently become angry that one girl had broken two glasses, . and that the teenagers, who had been drinking, should have been in bed. Giving evidence, Mr King’s friend Shane Thorne broke down in court as he recalled the attack. He said there had been 'a bit of a commotion about the music' at the . party, adding: 'Ryan followed [Dupree] into the kitchen to ask why he . was doing it to (squabbling with) his own family. 'Dupree hit Ryan in his throat with a glass. Ryan was really shaken up. I . walked up to him (Mr King) and saw the gash on his throat and all the . blood. 'He kept saying: "I’m going to die".' Dupree, who was stopped by police as he walked home from the party, . initially said the incident had been an accident, and that it was a 'family thing' that had got out of hand. He later said his great nephew had 'offered him outside for a fight' before launching a pre-emptive attack on the 20-year-old. Dupree, who . lived at nearby Bishop’s Nympton, denies murder.

(CNN) -- The midterm elections are a week away. Control of the Senate will be decided by a handful of close contests that remain competitive in the final days. In an era of narrow majorities in the upper chamber, just one or two races can make all the difference in terms of who will be in control. Most experts are predicting that Republicans will gain the Senate, though there are a few outliers, like my colleague at Princeton University, Sam Wang, whose statistical models have been showing that Democrats can still be victorious. In the coming days, here are six campaigns to watch. In each of these states Republicans are holding their ground by connecting their opponent to President Obama while Democrats strike back by reminding voters of extremism in the GOP. Four of the states have incumbent Democratic senators who are waging close races for re-election. In the other two, the retirements of senators, one a Democrat and one a Republican, have created an opportunity the two parties are contesting. North Carolina: This is a Senate race that has been extremely expensive, with the national parties pouring money into advertising based on the view that this one can go either way, and it's close. Incumbent Sen. Kay Hagan is a Democrat who voted for President Obama's health care program and who has faced a tough challenge from Thom Tillis, a businessman who pushed back the tea party candidate in the Republican primary. Hagan, who had been expected to keep this seat, has made some mistakes along the way, such as skipping a Senate Armed Services Committee meeting to raise campaign funds, something that was a no-no in her home state, where the military is a cherished institution. Superstars from each party have made appearances for the campaign—Hillary Clinton for Hagan and Rand Paul for Tillis—trying to boost their competitive edge. Outside groups and the National Senatorial Republican Committee are pouring money into Tillis' campaign, smelling the potential for a real upset. President Obama's drive to increase African-American turnout is key for the Democratic strategy. Republicans are continuing to hammer away at Hagan by criticizing her party for how the White House has handled the Ebola epidemic and ISIS. Politics: How the 'war on women' is changing . Colorado: This is a state that makes Democrats very nervous. A recent poll by a Democratic company reported that this race is a deadlock, a disappointment to Democrats who thought they were safely in the lead. Their hope was that Sen. Mark Udall would be able to capitalize on the demographic trends—such as the expanding population of Latino-Americans—that have been building a solid base for the party, allowing President Obama to win in both the 2008 and 2012 elections. But recent polls have shown that Rep. Cory Gardner is doing much better than expected, including with female voters. This in itself has caused Democrats great concern, because Udall has made his opponent's position on women's issues the major focus of his campaign. "Congressman Cory Gardner's history of promoting harsh anti-abortion laws," explained the narrator in one of his ads, "is disturbing." Alaska: Freshmen Democrat Mark Begich is scrambling to keep his seat. From the start, this has been one that was always going to be tough for Democrats to retain. Begich barely won in 2008 in this Republican state, and he has suffered repeatedly from being connected to President Obama's unpopular presidency. Begich was also accused of allowing a misleading advertisement that suggested Attorney General Dan Sullivan had responsibility for a mistake that allowed a sex offender to go free and commit another sex assault and killings. Right now, Sullivan is enjoying a growing lead. Arkansas: Even with the Clinton machine rallying to his side, Democratic Sen. Mark Pryor has been struggling against GOP Rep. Tom Cotton, a veteran and Harvard graduate who has been hammering away at Pryor for his ties to President Obama, a common theme on the campaign trail. A recent article in The New York Times showed how Democrats face a number of big demographic challenges in what was once a solid Democratic state, like the massive growth of population in the conservative exurbs. One new poll shows that Cotton is ahead by 49% to 41%. Pryor has also made a number of embarrassing mistakes, including being unable to come up with an answer to a question asked of him during a campaign rally about how the White House was handling Ebola. In this state, voter turnout will be absolutely key. Democrats are counting on high levels of spending on ground operations and a surge of African-American voters to bring them to victory. Georgia: Despite a series of setbacks, such as the leak of a revealing campaign memo, Michelle Nunn has been putting on a strong campaign against businessman David Perdue to capture the seat held by retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss, a Republican. Democrats are going to need Georgia if they are going to keep control of the Senate. While this election might result in a runoff in January, Nunn has been doing a good job overcoming the negative sentiment associated with President Obama by hitting hard against her opponent's record in the private sector, using some of the same kinds of attacks that were used against Mitt Romney on issues like outsourcing. Perdue has struck back by saying that the Democrat doesn't really understand "what it takes to create jobs and create economic value," which he says he does through his work with the retailer Dollar General. Of course, Nunn's beloved family name also helps. Iowa: The right-wing state senator Joni Ernst has rattled the electorate with a controversial campaign that many thought would never work. While the GOP expunged tea party candidates in most of the primaries, Ernst was one of the exceptions. Bidding to take the seat held by retiring Sen. Tom Harkin, a Democrat, Ernst turned heads with an ad boasting of her experience castrating hogs, saying she would do the same in Washington to cut government spending. "Mother. Soldier, Independent leader," reads the sign on her campaign bus. Democratic Rep. Bruce Braley—who has received the support of Democrats like Michelle Obama—is having trouble stopping Ernst in the polls. Begala: Candidate's gun remarks should scare us . There are a few other races, such as in Kansas, where the outcome remains uncertain and each party is pouring in as much money and manpower as they can in the final few days to swing states their way. Election night should be interesting, as we'll see if Democrats can somehow defy the historical trend of the party of the White House doing poorly in midterms, or whether Republicans lock up control of Congress and give President Obama two more years of gridlock as he finishes his term. Summarize this article.

By . Lee Moran . Last updated at 4:28 PM on 16th December 2011 . Radioactive material was found in the luggage of a passenger bound for Iran - at Moscow's Sheremetyevo international airport. Russia's Federal Customs Service 'recently' found 18 pieces of radioactive metal packed in individual steel casing recently after the material triggered an alarm in the airport's radiation control system. It comes as tension rises between Western powers and Iran after a UN nuclear watchdog report last month said it appeared to have worked on designing a nuclear weapon. Discovery: Radioactive material found in the luggage of a passenger bound for Tehran was seized at Moscow's Sheremetyevo international airport . Tests showed the material found in the bag was a radioactive isotope which could be obtained only 'as a result of a nuclear reactor's operations'. Radiation levels in the area were 20 times above normal. An airport customs spokesman said the material had been identified as sodium-22, which can be used in medical equipment, but gave no other details. Sergei Novikov, spokesman for Rosatom nuclear agency, said the pieces were highly unlikely to have come from them. And he said, contrary to the customs' service claim, the isotope was produced by particle accelerators, not by nuclear reactors. Universities, research institutes and big medical centres can have the technology to produce it in Russia, he said. And he also claimed Rosatom had never sold sodium-22 to Iran, but it had supplied it with other types of medical isotopes. Claims: Iran, whose president is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, denies Western allegations it is seeking to build nuclear weapons . Research director Lars-Erik De Geer, of the Swedish Defence Research Institute, added: 'There is no weapons aspect to this (material).' The objects were sent to a Moscow prosecutor's office that deals with air and water transport, the service said in a statement. Authorities have opened a criminal investigation, but the Iranian was not detained. Spokeswoman Kseniya Grebenkina said the luggage had been seized some time ago, but could not specify when. The announcement of the discovery came two days after the U.S. House of Representatives endorsed harsher sanctions against Iran aimed at derailing its suspected pursuit of nuclear weapons. Iran denies Western allegations that it is seeking to build nuclear weapons. Earlier this year, Atomstroiexport, a Rosatom subsidiary, launched Iran's first nuclear reactor in Bushehr. Russian officials have insisted the deal with Iran is in line with international agreements and will oblige Tehran to ship all the spent fuel from the plant back to Russia for reprocessing to avoid a possibility of it being used in a covert weapons program.

An auto body shop operated for many years in a residential zoning district as a nonconforming use. The owner temporarily closed the business due to illness; while it was closed, he tried to sell it. Within a few months, he sold it to another auto body company. The zoning ordinance provided that when a nonconforming use was abandoned, it could not later be resurrected. The city claimed that the use was abandoned and could not be reopened. The zoning hearing board agreed. On appeal to the county court, what was the court's most likely decision? A. The nonconforming use was still effective because this was a temporary cessation that did not constitute abandonment. B. The nonconforming use was abandoned because even a short cessation prevents it from being resurrected. C. A sale of the premises constitutes an abandonment of the nonconforming use. D. The nonconforming use was still effective because the abandonment rule in the ordinance was an unconstitutional prohibition on the right to use one's property. Answer:

A. The nonconforming use was still effective because this was a temporary cessation that did not constitute abandonment.

Question: Jerry finds six hawk feathers and 17 times as many eagle feathers as hawk feathers. If he gives 10 feathers to his sister and sells half the remaining feathers, how many does he have left? Answer:

First find how many eagle feathers he found: 17 * 6 feathers = <<17*6=102>>102 feathers Then add the number of hawk feathers he found: 102 feathers + 6 feathers = <<102+6=108>>108 feathers Then subtract the number of feathers Jerry gave to his sister: 108 feathers - 10 feathers = <<108-10=98>>98 feathers Then divide that number by 2 to find how many feathers Jerry has left: 98 feathers / 2 = <<98/2=49>>49 feathers The answer is 49.

Passage: Set in the closing years of the 19th century, this two-part novel tells the story of Lewis Haystoun, a young Scottish laird. Part I of the novel is a story of manners and romance in upper class Scotland. Part II is quite different, and is an action tale of adventure and duty in northern India. When his local Member of Parliament decides to retire, Haystoun is persuaded to stand. Although he is liked and respected by his local tenants, he finds himself unable to speak wholeheartedly and with full conviction at the hustings and is beaten by his opponent, the ambitious and fluent social climber Albert Stocks. Following an initial meeting at a dinner party, both Haystoun and Stocks fall in love with Alice Wishart, the daughter of a rich city merchant. Miss Wishart initially favours Haystoun, but gradually becomes disenchanted with his apparent lack of ability to commit to anything. During a picnic on the moors, Miss Wishart slips and falls into a lake. Haystoun, standing beside her, hesitates just long enough to allow his rival to dive in and make the rescue. Haystoun is devastated, believes himself to be a coward and avoids Miss Wishart's company, pushing her more and more into the company of Stocks. Stocks asks her to marry him and, believing that Haystoun is not interested in her, she agrees. Rumours have reached the British Government of a possible danger to the Empire via an uncharted area of the northern Indian frontier. Haystoun has explored this area before, and when he is asked by a friend to go out again to reconnoitre in a semi-official capacity, he jumps at the chance to escape his situation and to prove his courage. The night before his departure, Haystoun and Miss Wishart meet and declare their mutual love for the first time. Although there would still be time for Miss Wishart to break her engagement, the pair feel that they have been 'set apart by the fates' and they separate to follow their own individual paths. In part II of the novel, Haystoun travels to the northern frontier lands where he learns of a Russian plot to invade India via a little-known narrow mountain pass in the Kashmir, with the help of the local hill tribes. Having become aware of an imminent Cossack attack, Haystoun sends word to the local fort, calling on them to telegraph warnings to the northern garrisons and settlements, and sets off alone to try to delay the invaders at the pass. There he dies heroically, but is able to delay the invasion for just time enough for the alarm to be raised and for defences to be put in place. The Empire is saved by his valiant efforts. Question: Where does the second part of the story take place? Answer:

Northern India

Passage: Anna Khitrova, a British-Russian midwife at a London hospital, finds a Russian-language diary on the body of Tatiana, a 14-year-old girl who dies in childbirth. She also finds a card for the Trans-Siberian Restaurant, which is owned by Semyon, an old vor in the Russian Mafia. Anna thus sets out to track down the girl's family so that she can find a home for the baby girl, having meetings with Semyon, whom she initially regards as friendly. Anna's mother Helen does not discourage her, but Anna's Russian uncle and self-described former KGB officer, Stepan, whom Anna asks for help with the translation of the diary, urges caution. Through translation of the diary, Anna comes to learn that Semyon and his ignorant, unstable son Kirill had abused the girl, addicted her to heroin, forced her into prostitution, and raped her. Ultimately, Anna realizes that the baby was fathered by Semyon (in several scenes it is made clear that Kirill is impotent and never had sex with Tatiana). Kirill's driver is Nikolai Luzhin, who also serves as the family "cleaner", dumping murdered bodies in the River Thames. Through Nikolai, Semyon, fearing prosecution, promises to give the location of the girl's family to Anna if she hands back the diary. Nikolai takes the diary but does not give a location, instead urging Anna to keep the baby in London. Semyon distrusts Anna's uncle Stepan and orders Nikolai to kill him. Nikolai accepts and soon Stepan goes missing. As Nikolai's star rises within the vory, an impressed Semyon sponsors him as a full member, due in part to Nikolai's protection of Semyon's incompetent son, who authorized a hit on a rival Chechen vory leader with the help of a Kurdish associate, Azim. The hit was ill-advised and not approved by Semyon. Two Chechen hitmen soon arrive in London seeking vengeance and kill Azim's mentally handicapped nephew who also took part in the hit. Semyon hatches a plan to trick Nikolai into temporarily taking Kirill's place during a meeting at the baths with Azim. The Chechens attack, thinking Nikolai is Kirill, but Nikolai kills them both, ending up in the hospital with severe wounds. It is revealed that Nikolai is actually an FSB agent who has infiltrated the gang, working under license by the British Government and a senior police officer. As part of his undercover duties, Nikolai was able to read Tatiana's diary before Semyon destroyed it and hatched a plan to have Semyon arrested for statutory rape, with a paternity test of Tatiana's baby as evidence. Stepan is also safe, hiding in a 5-star hotel in Edinburgh for protection. Semyon orders Kirill to kidnap the baby girl and kill her. But as Kirill sits by the Thames working up the courage to throw the child in, Nikolai and Anna find him and persuade him to give the baby back. Nikolai and Kirill embrace as Nikolai tells him that his father is finished and they are now the bosses. Nikolai and Anna kiss and part for the last time. Nikolai succeeds Semyon as boss of the organization and Anna gains custody of Tatiana's baby, whom she names Christine. Question: What is the name of Tatiana's baby? Answer:

Christine

Passage: Paula Power inherits a medieval castle from her industrialist father who has purchased it from the aristocratic De Stancy family. She employs two architects, one local and one, George Somerset, newly qualified from London. Somerset represents modernity in the novel. In the village there is an amateur photographer, William Dare, who is the illegitimate son of Captain De Stancy, an impoverished scion of the family. Captain De Stancy represents a dream of medieval nobility to Paula. She is attracted to both men for their different virtues but William Dare decides to intervene to promote his father in her affections. He fakes a telegram and photograph to make it appear that Somerset is leading a dissolute lifestyle. His subterfuge is discovered by Captain De Stancy's sister Charlotte who has befriended Paula. She decides to tell Paula the truth and Paula pursues Somerset to the continent where he has gone mistakenly believing Paula and the Captain to have been married. She finds him and they are reunited and marry. The castle burns down and Somerset proposes to build a modern house in its place. The last line has Paula summing up her dichotomy of mind between modernity and romantic medievalism, and thus the two men, also emphasising the title "a Laodicean" (someone indifferent or half-hearted) — "I wish my castle wasn't burnt; and I wish you were a De Stancy!" The usage of "Laodicean" to mean someone lacking commitment comes from a reference in the New Testament: To the angel of the church in Laodicaea write: — "These are the words of the Unchanging One, 'the witness faithful and true, the beginning of the Creation of God': —I know your life; I know that you are neither cold nor hot. If only you were either cold or hot! But now, because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I am about to spit you out of my mouth." — Revelation 3:14–16 OEB Question: What is referred to as Paula's dichotomy? Answer:

Paula is torn between modernity and midieval romanticism

On a day marking the 89th anniversary of the founding of Turkey, a country that has marketed itself as a stable, prosperous and democratic role model for the Muslim world, riot police clashed with defiant opposition groups, firing water cannons at a patriotic rally in the capital. Tensions mounted ahead of Monday's Republic Day holiday, when the governor of Ankara banned the planned march organized by secularist opposition groups that are deeply critical of Turkey's Islamist-rooted government. Despite the ban, opposition groups defiantly vowed to go ahead with their rally. They were joined by Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the leader of Turkey's largest opposition party, the Republican People's Party, or CHP. Read more: Press freedom watchdog slams Turkish government . Kilicdaroglu boycotted the government's traditional military parade. Instead, he attended the opposition gathering, just a few minutes' drive away from the parade grounds in Ankara. Turkish television networks split their live coverage of two simultaneous Republic Day celebrations. Turkish President Abdullah Gul and Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan sat in grandstands, watching police, schoolchildren and helmeted soldiers in tanks and armored personnel carriers filing past on parade. Meanwhile, CHP leader Kilicdaroglu addressed a crowd of several thousand flag-waving supporters next to a statue of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. Sometime after noon Monday, cameras suddenly broadcast live images of riot police firing water cannons at the opposition gathering. CNN Turk showed waterlogged activists brandishing Turkish flags, struggling to stand their ground against multiple water cannons. Activists said police also fired tear gas at the rally. Read more: Turkey boom dampened by Europe's troubles . "They used gas and they used water," said Alper Kafa, an opposition party activist and general director of the Association of Public Conservatory Graduates, speaking on the phone from Ankara with CNN. "This is the shameful face or our alleged democracy," he added. "On the 89th anniversary of our great leader's foundation of the republic, in the place where he made the declaration, they used gas against the people. It is so very sad." "It is shameful to use water cannons and tear gas at crowds which include children and old ladies out there to celebrate the republic," said Asli Aydintasbas, a columnist with the Turkish daily newspaper Milliyet. "It shows to me that people come and go, but the fundamentals of the regime in Ankara do not change." Since his Justice and Development Party, or AKP, first won parliamentary elections 10 years ago, Prime Minister Erdogan has governed Turkey through an unprecedented decade of economic expansion. Voters have rewarded Erdogan, re-electing his party in national parliamentary and municipal elections. Read more: Eight killed in bombing in Turkey . Erdogan also won a bitter power struggle against the military and Turkey's traditional secular establishment. Hundreds of generals have been arrested in recent years, accused of plotting to overthrow the government. Until Erdogan's rise to power, the Turkish military had a stranglehold on Turkish politics, overthrowing at least four civilian governments in the last half-century. But Erdogan has come under growing criticism from human rights and freedom of expression groups for his increasingly authoritarian policies. This month, the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists published a report slamming Turkey, accusing it of being the world's worst jailers of journalists. The Turkish newspaper Taraf also announced it is suing Turkey's national intelligence agency. The revelation emerged after Taraf's editors reportedly found court documents proving they were being wiretapped by the agency, whose main mission is to target foreign spies and terrorism threats. Read more: Turkish government asks Kurdish prisoners to end hunger strike . Meanwhile, Kurdish groups accuse Erdogan's government of arresting more than 7,000 Kurdish activists in recent years. Last week, Turkey's justice minister made a public appeal for more than 600 Kurdish prisoners to end a hunger strike that has spread through prisons across the country over the last month and a half. A long-simmering Kurdish insurgency continues to claim lives in the predominantly Kurdish southeastern part of the country. Turkey's semiofficial Anatolia news agency reported that at least one police officer was killed by fighters from the Kurdistan Workers Party, or PKK, in southeastern Turkey on Saturday. Critics said Monday's Republic Day crackdown on the opposition would only further tarnish Erdogan's democratic credentials. "It is also a disgrace for Turkey to publicly applaud the Arab Spring," columnist Aydintasbas said, "and at home to ban even a small innocent rally. ... To think that any rally is essentially a hidden effort to overthrow the government, which is the paranoia in Ankara right now, points to an autocratic mindset." Summarize this article.

By . David Kent . Crystal Palace ended their pre-season tour of the United States unbeaten with a resounding 3-0 defeat of the Richmond Kickers at City Stadium in Richmond, Virginia. The Kickers, who play in the lower leagues of US soccer, were no match for a strong Palace side that will now head back to England to prepare for the Premier League season. After a lacklustre start to the game that saw neither keeper tested, the Eagles opened the scoring on 35 minutes when Peter Ramage headed home from a Jason Puncheon corner. Head boy: Crystal Palace's Peter Ramage (centre) celebrates scoring the first goal . Dwight Gayle thought he had doubled their lead shortly after when he prodded home from Joe Ledley's low cross only for the goal to be ruled out for offside. Tony Pulis made no changes to the side after the interval, although Marouane Chamakh and Ramage switched shirt numbers to 6 and 23 respectively. Glen Murray doubled the lead with another headed goal coming from a corner ten minutes after the restart. Pulis decided to ring the changes shortly after the second goal, bringing on the likes of Barry Bannan, Stuart O'Keefe, Adlene Guedioura and Jerome Thomas. Best foot forward: Jerome Williams (L) in action against Richmond Kickers' Jason Yeisley .

Passage: Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen are sisters living in The Midlands in England in the 1910s. Ursula is a teacher, Gudrun an artist. They meet two men who live nearby, school inspector Rupert Birkin and coal-mine heir Gerald Crich, and the four become friends. Ursula and Birkin become involved, and Gudrun and Gerald eventually begin a love affair. All four are deeply concerned with questions of society, politics, and the relationship between men and women. At a party at Gerald's estate, Gerald's sister Diana drowns. Gudrun becomes the teacher and mentor of Gerald's youngest sister. Soon Gerald's coal-mine-owning father dies as well, after a long illness. After the funeral, Gerald goes to Gudrun's house and spends the night with her while her parents sleep in another room. Birkin asks Ursula to marry him, and she agrees. Gerald and Gudrun's relationship, however, becomes stormy. The two couples holiday in the Alps. Gudrun begins an intense friendship with Loerke, a physically puny but emotionally commanding artist from Dresden. Gerald, enraged by Loerke and most of all by Gudrun's verbal abuse and rejection of his manhood, and driven by the his own internal violence, tries to strangle Gudrun. Before he has killed her, however, he realises that this is not what he wants, and he leaves Gudrun and Loerke, and climbs the mountain, eventually slips into a snowy valley where he falls asleep, and freezes to death. The impact of Gerald's death upon Birkin is profound. The novel ends a few weeks after Gerald's death with Birkin trying to explain to Ursula that he needs Gerald as he needs her; her for the perfect relationship with a woman, and Gerald for the perfect relationship with a man. Question: Who does Gudrun begin an intense relationship with? Answer:

Loerke

Question: A car uses 20 gallons of gas to travel 400 miles. Mr. Montero's car has 8 gallons in it. How many more gallons of gas does he need to travel 600 miles, back and forth? Answer:

Mr. Montero is traveling a total distance of 600 miles + 600 miles = <<600+600=1200>>1200 miles. There are 1200 miles / 400 miles = <<1200/400=3>>3 sets of 400 miles in 1200 miles. So Mr. Montero needs 20 gallons/set x 3 sets = <<20*3=60>>60 gallons in all. Since his car has 8 gallons already, then he needs to add 60 gallons - 8 gallons = <<60-8=52>>52 gallons more. The answer is 52.

Question: There are 28 students in a class. Two-sevenths of them were absent last Monday. How many students were present last Monday? Answer:

Harry Redknapp has called on the Premier League to consider temporary substitutions in a bid to improve concussion treatment. The QPR boss was left frustrated after medics withdrew Sandro just 11 minutes into Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Southampton, only for the Brazil midfielder to be deemed 'fine' at half-time. Sandro suffered a heavy blow to the head and manager Redknapp admitted doctors must take no chances with such complex injuries. Brazilian midfielder Sandro is forced off with a head injury during the first half of QPR's game at Southampton . Club doctors now have the final say over whether players who suffer head injuries are withdrawn, after widespread criticism last season when Spurs' Hugo Lloris returned to action despite being knocked unconscious. The ex-Tottenham boss suggested football take a leaf out of rugby's book and implement short-term replacements, to allow extended assessment of head injuries. 'You couldn't wait 10 or 15 minutes with 10 men, you just couldn't do it,' said Redknapp. 'So you couldn't give medics that amount of time to look at a player. 'But it doesn't sound the worst idea for a temporary replacement, so that the doctors could have a longer look at the player with the potential head injury. Redknapp talks to his summer signing as the midfielder was withdrawn after only 11 minutes at St Mary's . 'That is something worth looking at. Medical people have got to be so careful, they can't take a chance because if anything went wrong there would be massive trouble. 'If someone is very bad you cannot expect them to carry on because if something went wrong we would all be very sorry. 'At half-time there didn't seem to be a lot wrong with Sandro to me though. 'He was fine in the changing rooms, he didn't look too bad at all but obviously the doctors have got to err on the side of caution.' Charlie Austin expresses his delight towards the travelling Rangers supporters after scoring on Saturday . Graziano Pelle's scissor-kick volley trumped a fine blast on the spin from Charlie Austin to deny QPR any points on the south coast. Former Saints boss Redknapp admitted Rangers are continuing to count the cost of losing Loic Remy to Chelsea in the final stages of the transfer window. Redknapp believes QPR are missing '16 goals' after being unable to secure a replacement for France striker Remy, with a deal for Jermain Defoe falling through. 'I thought Bobby (Zamora) was excellent when he came on, held up the ball well, but we are short and we don't have an awful lot of striking options,' said Redknapp. Graziano Pelle makes the perfect connection from a cross to score in spectacular fashion as Saints won 2-1 . 'We have lost 16 goals when Remy went. It is a problem: you look at last year and Charlie (Austin) got 17 goals and no one else got anywhere near.' Redknapp admitted he was disappointed Steven Caulker's case of mistaken identity with the police ended up making headlines. Rangers defender Caulker was wrongly detained by police in Surrey after being falsely accused of stealing soft cheese from a Tesco store. Redknapp said the incident has had no effect on club or player. 'It is not fair to get accused of that. I honestly don't know the story of it all, but surely he doesn't need to nick a piece of cheese. 'If he had stolen it then he would deserve to be in trouble for being such an idiot but obviously he hasn't. 'How does it get in the papers; how does it get in? We have all been there haven't we, someone tells them.' Redknapp is concerned by the lack of striking options at his disposal at QPR this season after losing Loic Remy . Summarize this article.

Two Champions League-winning sides came together to celebrate Portuguese midfielder Deco's testimonial on Friday, marking the end of the career of one of Europe's greatest midfielders of the 21st century. The game, featuring the likes of Lionel Messi, Eidur Gudjohnsen, Benni McCarthy and Paulo Ferreira, ended 4-4, with Samuel Eto'o scoring twice and Deco getting the decisive strike for Porto having played for both sides. On an emotional occasion the Portuguese playmaker nipped in with a tidy finish in the 89th minute, which proved to be the last touch of the game. But Eto'o's cheeky antics were what had most people talking. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Samuel Eto'o's brilliantly cheeky finish and his messing around during the pre match pleasantries . Pals: Samuel Eto'o and Deco greet each other during the pre match pleasantries at the Estadio de Dragao stadium in Porto ahead of the testimonial . A familiar sight: Messi streaks past two defenders who end up on the floor trying and failing to take the ball off the Barcelona maestro on his first game after the World Cup . Headline act: Lionel Messi is greeted by his former team mate ahead of the game - with Deco playing a half for each side in the Estadio de Dragao . Double vision: Portuguese playmaker and two-time Champions League winner Deco turned out in the colours of both sides on his big farewell in Porto . Just like old times: Messi and Deco congratulate Eto'o on one of his two strikes during the friendly . Still got it: Former Blackburn and Porto striker Benni McCarthy vies for the ball with former Barcelona defenders Sylvinho and Oleguer . Porto: Baia, Ferreira, Costa, Emanuel, Valente, Costinha, Maniche, Mendes, Deco (Jankauskas 46), Derlei, McCarthy. Goals: Derlei 3; McCarthy 15; Jankauskas 62; Deco 89. Barcelona: Jorquera, Oleguer, Belletti, Gerard, Sylvinho, Davids, Van Bommel, Van Bronckhorst, Giuly (Deco 46), Ezquerro (Eto'0 46), Gudjohnsen (Messi 46). Goals: Eto'o 54, 68; Deco 57, Messi 81 . The centre forward, who spearheaded Barca's attack in 2006, was on top form. The first of his two goals came after he waited on the goalline for a defender to catch him before tapping in. And even before the game he was posing for the camera's as the camera panned across the assembled stars, which bizarrely included Edgar Davids despite him only playing for Barcelona in 2004. But the evening was all about Deco - he ended up scoring and setting up goals for both sides on a fitting end to a trophy-heavy career that took in time with both of these sides as well as Chelsea. Derlei, Benni McCarthy scored for Porto as they raced into a 2-0 first half lead, and Edgaras Jankauskas also bagged for the Portuguese side. Messi scored Barcelona's third on the night, converting a rare header from an Eto'o cross. But it was of course left to Deco to finish it off, placing a brilliant finish off the the underside of the bar (in a Porto shirt this time) to make it 4-4 before the referee recognised the ideal time to blow the final whistle and pull the curtain down on Deco's time in football. Afterwards, Messi paid tribute to the man of the occasion. 'Deco deserved this, both as a footballer and as a person,' he said. 'He’s a player I learned a lot from, as did so many other team-mates. There was no way I was going to miss this event.' Summarize this article.

A man ended up in hospital after jumping into a hot spring on the northern Nevada desert to rescue a dog. Gerlach volunteer fire chief Willard Gooch said the man was scalded by water in the Double Hot Springs on the Black Rock Desert, about 120 miles north of Reno. He added that the man was flown by medical helicopter to a Reno hospital, where his condition was not immediately released. The Double Hot Springs in Black Rock Desert reach about 180 degrees with very steep and slippery banks . 'There's three (hot springs) that's out there that you can get pretty burned from,' Mr Gooch told the Reno Gazette-Journal. 'There are several out there that people need to pay attention to.' The hot springs at Black Rock Desert can be streams or deep ponds of boiling water, he added. The Double Hot Springs reach about 180 degrees with very steep and slippery banks. Although the area around the springs is fenced, dogs have been known to jump into or drink from them. Mr Gooch told the paper that he has seen at least six cases in recent years of people jumping into the hot springs at Black Rock Desert trying to save an animal. In 2000, a 27-year-old Reno woman and a friend were walking near the Double Hot Springs when their dogs leaped into one of the pools. They tried to rescue the animals and ended up getting severely burned themselves. The woman died from her burns and her friend suffered second- and third-degree burns over 80 percent of his body. Both dogs had to be euthanized. The status of the dog in the latest accident was not immediately known. Although the area around the springs is fenced, dogs have been known to jump into or drink from them . 'With this being an open bird season, a lot of people are out here with their hunting dogs,' Mr Gooch said. 'That's what's scary is that people don't really know how fast it all happens.' Mr Gooch said he's taken his water-loving hunting dog to Black Rock Desert, but he added that it is important that pet owners take the right precautions. 'Keep your dogs in the vehicle until you look around the area to see where the hot springs are before you let them out,' he said. 'I just suggest people to really be cautions when they let their dogs out near hot springs, especially if they love water.' Many visitors simply do not pay attention to where the springs are, he said. 'Some of those springs reach 180 degrees,' Mr Gooch said. 'That's how hot a lot of these springs are here. I wish people would understand how hot they are.' 'It happens quite often, more often than it should,' he said. Summarize this article.

Question: Colby harvested his mango trees, the total mangoes he harvested is 60 kilograms. He sold 20 kilograms to the market and sold the remaining half to his community. If each kilogram contains 8 mangoes, how many mangoes does he still have? Answer:

He has 60-20= <<60-20=40>>40 kilograms of mangoes left after selling them to the market. Colby sold 1/2 x 40 = <<1/2*40=20>>20 kilograms of mangoes to the community. Therefore, Colby still has 20x8= <<20*8=160>>160 pieces of mangoes. The answer is 160.

Question: At a certain school, 2/3 of the population are females. One-tenth of the males are foreign students. If the school has 300 students, how many students are non-foreign male students? Answer:

There are 300 x 2/3 = <<300*2/3=200>>200 females in the school. So, 300 - 200 = <<300-200=100>>100 are males. Out of the 100 males, 100 x 1/10 = <<100*1/10=10>>10 are male foreign students. Thus, there are 100 - 10 = <<100-10=90>>90 non-foreign male students. The answer is 90.

Question: Tom Sawyer has tricked his friends into whitewashing Aunt Polly's 100-foot fence. His first friend, Ben, whitewashed 10 feet. His second friend Billy whitewashed a fifth of the remaining fence. A third friend, Johnny, whitewashed a third of the fence that was left after that. How much of the fence still needs to be whitewashed? Answer:

It's a 100-foot fence, and Ben whitewashed 10 feet, so there are 100 - 10 = <<100-10=90>>90 feet left after Ben is done. Billy whitewashed a fifth of that, or 90 / 5 = <<90/5=18>>18 feet. There is now 90 - 18 = <<90-18=72>>72 feet of fence left. Johnny whitewashes a third of that, or 72 / 3 = <<72/3=24>>24 feet. That leaves 72 - 24 = <<72-24=48>>48 feet of fence left to be whitewashed. The answer is 48.

Washington (CNN) -- The Supreme Court has again indefinitely blocked plans to disseminate video of an important federal court case involving same-sex marriage in California. The justices in an unsigned order Wednesday prevented any distribution of the live video stream outside the San Francisco, California, courthouse where the case is being heard, and any real-time or delayed posting on the Internet. In a trial that began Monday, a federal judge in San Francisco will decide whether the state's Proposition 8 banning same-sex marriage is constitutional. California voters approved the measure in November 2008, prompting an appeal by several homosexual couples. As part of a pilot program, the judge had agreed to allow video of the trial to be sent live to other rooms within the courthouse and to five other federal courthouses, and to be posted several hours later on the popular video site YouTube.com. Opponents of same-sex marriage had asked the Supreme Court to intervene, saying witness testimony could be affected if cameras were present. It is extremely rare for a federal trial to be televised to the broader public. The Supreme Court's latest order allows distribution only to designated "overflow" rooms in the San Francisco courthouse, where people who want to view the trial but are unable to fit into the courtroom can watch the proceedings on closed-circuit television. A majority of Supreme Court justices concluded expanded broadcast should not permitted because, they wrote, "It appears the courts below did not follow the appropriate procedures set forth in federal law before changing their rules to allow such broadcasting." There has been much internal debate in federal courts around the country about the televised experiment, with several judges and administrators privately expressing concern that it could eventually lead to the entire judiciary being televised, including the Supreme Court. In dissent to the ruling, Justice Stephen Breyer and three liberal colleagues complained the public would be deprived of watching "a nonjury civil case of great public interest to five other federal courthouses located in Seattle [Washington], Pasadena [California], Portland [Oregon], San Francisco [California], and Brooklyn [New York]." He was supported by Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg, John Paul Stevens and Sonia Sotomayor. Breyer said the Supreme Court traditionally has stayed out of what he called another court's administrative discretion on such matters, saying, "I believe this court should adhere to its institutional competence, its historical practice, and its governing precedent -- all of which counsel against the issuance of this stay." The case is Hollingsworth v. Perry (09A648). Summarize this article.

After keeping a clean sheet during 180 minutes of football against Barcelona this season Malaga goalkeeper Carlos Kameni knows a thing or two about stopping the world’s most expensive forward line. When Barcelona drew 0-0 at La Rosaleda earlier in the season they failed to muster a shot on target and Leo Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez were frustrated again on Saturday. ‘We knew that Barcelona are very good at getting in behind teams and reaching the byline so we were very aware of trying to send them inside at every opportunity so that they couldn’t hurt us down the wings,’ the goalkeeper said after his side’s 1-0 victory. Malaga goalkeeper Carlos Kameni has kept out Barcelona for 180 minutes this season . Kameni dives to save a shot from Luis Suarez as Malaga beat Barcelona 1-0 at the Nou Camp on Saturday . Barcelona forward Suarez jumps in frustration after bein foiled by Malaga goalkeeper Kameni . Malaga set up with two banks of four players and left very little space for Barcelona to play between the lines. The tactic proved so effective that at times Luis Enrique’s side resorted to hitting long diagonal balls into the box, which proved meat and drink for the 6ft 1in keeper Kameni. There was plenty of food for thought for Manuel Pellegrini but Barcelona defender Jordi Alba dismissed the idea his Manchester City team could use the Malaga blueprint on how to beat Barcelona. He said: ‘Pellegrini was at Malaga before (for three seasons as manager from 2010) and I think they still have some of the habits that he instilled there, but City have very dangerous forward players and I don’t think they will close up at the back the way Malaga did.’ Kameni (left) jumps and attempts to get the ball from Barcelona defender Gerard Pique (right) Kameni jumps in for a ball with Barcelona striker Suarez in an attempt to punch away .

Passage: In Los Angeles, career-focused lawyer Fletcher Reede (Carrey) loves his son Max (Cooper), but his inability to keep his promises and the compulsive lying he engages in for his career often cause problems between them and with his former wife Audrey (Tierney), who has become involved with another man named Jerry (Elwes). In court, Fletcher is willing to exaggerate the stories of his clients, and his current client, the self-centered, money-grabbing Samantha Cole (Tilly) has garnered the attention of Mr. Allen, a partner at the law firm in which Fletcher works. If Fletcher wins this case, it will bring his firm a fortune and boost his career. Fletcher calls and lies to Audrey about missing Max's birthday due to work, when he is actually having sex with his boss, Miranda, in order to get a promotion. Dejected, Max makes a birthday wish that for one day his father cannot tell a lie. The wish immediately comes true, and Fletcher accidentally tells Miranda he has "had better" after they have sex. The following day, Fletcher immediately realizes that he is unable to do anything dishonest. He cannot lie, mislead, or even deceive by withholding a true answer, often uncontrollably blurting out offensive and painful truths that anger his co-workers, and his car ends up in an impound for several parking violations. This comes to a head when he realizes that he is unable to even ask questions when he knows the answer will be a lie, which is inconvenient as Samantha and her alleged affair partner Kenneth Faulk are willing to commit perjury to win the high profile case and he cannot ask him the questions they have been given answers for. Realizing that Max had wished for this to happen, Fletcher tries to convince him that adults need to lie, but cannot give any type of answer at why he should continue to lie to his son. Fletcher also figures out that since Max wished for him to tell the truth for only one day, he tries to do what he can to delay Samantha's case since the magic wish will expire at 8:15 p.m., 24 hours after Max made the wish. Things only get worse for Fletcher as he loses his loyal assistant Greta after admitting he had lied about the miserly reasons for denying her pay raises and the "expensive" gifts he gave her, and Audrey tells Fletcher that she and Max are moving to Boston with Jerry in order to prevent any more heartbreaks from Fletcher's broken promises. Fletcher's erratic behavior in court leads to several questions of his sanity as he objects to himself and badgers and provokes his own witnesses into admitting they had an affair against Samantha and her husband's prenuptial agreement. He even goes so far as to beat himself up and claim that someone attacked him in order to try and avoid the case, but when asked if he feels like he can continue, he can't deny it and he says yes. During the case, Fletcher finds a technicality that Samantha lied that she was underage when she signed the prenup prior to her marriage, rendering it void and entitling her to half of Mr. Cole's estate, allowing him to win the case truthfully. But when Samantha decides to contest full custody of their children, who Mr. Cole dearly loves, just because she wants more money from the child support payments, Fletcher regrets mentioning the technicality after seeing Mrs. Cole pull the children out of their father's arms, and shriek her demands for more money. Realizing now that winning the case has punished the loving husband and rewarded the cheating wife, Fletcher has a crisis of conscience and shouts at the Judge demanding that he reverse the decision, but he is arrested for contempt of court. He calls Audrey from the prison's phone and pleads with her to bail him out and give him another chance, but she hangs up on him. Greta returns and bails Fletcher from jail, who forgives him and realizes that telling the truth has made him a better man and he rushes to the airport to stop Audrey and Max from leaving forever. He misses their flight, but he sneaks onto the tarmac by hiding in a piece of luggage, steals a motorized staircase, and manages to gain the pilot's attention by throwing his shoe at the cockpit window, forcing him to abort the flight. However, Fletcher's victory is cut short when he crashes into a barrier and is sent flying into a baggage tug, which causes a chain reaction that leaves Fletcher unconscious and with both of his legs broken. After waking up, he tells Max how much he cares about him and how sorry he was for breaking his promises.

By . Reuters . A U.S. appeals court on Friday upheld a federal occupational safety agency's finding against SeaWorld Entertainment Inc following the workplace death of one of its killer whale trainers.By a vote of two to one, the three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit held that SeaWorld had violated its duties as an employer by exposing trainers to 'recognized hazards' when working with killer whales. The ruling means the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) can require SeaWorld to limit the interactions trainers have with killer whales.The federal agency had fined the company $75,000, a sum later reduced to $12,000, after trainer Dawn Brancheau died in February 2010. She drowned after being pulled underwater by Tilikum, a 12,000-pound (5,400-kg) bull orca at the SeaWorld site in Orlando, Florida. Killer whale: Dawn Brancheau was drowned when an orca named Tilikum dragged her underwater during a show . OSHA, which is part of the U.S. Department of Labor, had told SeaWorld it could resolve the problem by requiring trainers to be protected by physical barriers or by adopting other abatement measures. SeaWorld, which operates 11 parks around the United States, said in a statement that it already has introduced new safety procedures, including removing trainers from the water during shows. Even after the court's ruling, 'there will still be human interactions and performances with killer whales,' the statement said. The company said it had yet to decide on whether to appeal the decision. The Labor Department said in a statement that courts have 'consistently upheld our position that killer whales pose a danger to employees who are not adequately protected.' New rules: Sea World San Diego President John Reilly testifies about a bill by Assemblyman Richard Bloom that would set new guidelines for treatment of killer whales in captivity before the Assembly Water, Parks and Wildlife Committee on Tuesday, April 8, 2014 . Known danger: The whale Tilikum had been involved in two other deaths when trainer Dawn Brancheau was dragged underwater by him during a show . Human-orca interaction has long been filled with controversy, revisited last year with the release of the movie Blackfish about Brancheau's death and Tilikum's career as an entertainer and stud for other captive whales. SeaWorld has criticized the film as 'inaccurate and misleading.' Rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) welcomed the court decision. Jared Goodman, the group's director of animal law, said it 'brings to an end the days of trainers standing and riding on orcas for human amusement.' SeaWorld had appealed over the federal agency's application of federal safety law to an unusual workplace situation it had not regulated before. The appeals court concluded that OSHA did not overstep its authority in bringing the action against SeaWorld. Documentary: The 2013 film Blackfish blames attacks and deaths of SeaWorld trainers on the mistreatment of the animals, increasing their aggression . 'Statements by SeaWorld managers do not indicate that SeaWorld's safety protocols and training made the killer whales safe; rather, they demonstrate SeaWorld's recognition that the killer whales interacting with trainers are dangerous,' Judge Judith Rogers wrote on behalf of the court. She played down SeaWorld's concerns about the impact on its operations, saying that improved safety 'does not change the essential nature of the business.' Judge Brett Kavanaugh wrote a dissenting opinion noting that people who work in dangerous fields in the sports and entertainment context are aware of the risks. OSHA has 'departed from tradition and stormed headlong into a new regulatory arena,' he said. Summarize this article.

More than 1,000 Swedish shoppers have signed up to make payments with a simple swipe of their hand, using new technology that 'reads' the patterns of their veins. The developers hope hand scanning will become an alternative payment method if it is a success during trials in the city of Lund in southern Sweden. The vein-scanning terminals have been installed in 15 shops and restaurants after an engineering student at the local university came up with the technology two years ago while waiting in line to pay. Scroll down for video . Handy idea! Developers hope hand scanning will become an alternative payment method for people if it is a success during trials in the city of Lund in southern Sweden (pictured) Some 1,600 people have signed up already for the system which its inventor insists is safer than credit cards. The social network is rumoured to be seeking regulatory approval to offer financial services - including electronic money and remittances - which would allow foreign workers to easily transfer money back to their families. If the social network does become an e-money institution, people in Europe could use the social network as a bank account of kind - to store virtual money. The services could offer remittances, which would let foreign workers securely transfer money to their home country. If Facebook offers the service to developing markets in the future, it could hook in millions of new users and make plenty of extra money in advertising. The service could prove attractive in areas where accessing and saving money securely is not as simple as nipping to a local bank. 'Every individual's vein pattern is completely unique, so there really is no way of committing fraud with this system,' said researcher Fredrik Leifland. 'You always need your hand scanned for a payment to go through.' While vein scanning technology existed previously, it has not been used as a form of payment before. 'We had to connect all the players ourselves, which was quite complex - the vein scanning terminals, the banks, the stores and the customers,' Mr Leifland added. Unique: While vein scanning technology existed previously, it has not been used as a form of payment before. Some 1,600 people have signed up already for the system which its inventor insists is safer than credit cards . The plan is to patent the system and expand it around the globe. To sign up, users have to visit a shop or restaurant with a terminal, where they scan their palm three times and enter their social security and telephone numbers. A text message is then sent to their mobile phone with an activation link to a website, with payments taken directly from customer's bank accounts twice a month. More than 1,000 shoppers have signed up to make payments with a swipe of their hand. Every person's vein pattern is unique, so there really is no way of committing fraud with this system, the maker claims . Summarize this article.

Passage: After the First Punic War, Carthage is unable to fulfill promises made to its army of mercenaries, and finds itself under attack. The fictional title character, a priestess and the daughter of Hamilcar Barca, the foremost Carthaginian general, is the object of the obsessive lust of Matho, a leader of the mercenaries. With the help of the scheming freed slave, Spendius, Matho steals the sacred veil of Carthage, the Zaïmph, prompting Salammbô to enter the mercenaries' camp in an attempt to steal it back. The Zaïmph is an ornate bejewelled veil draped about the statue of the goddess Tanit in the sanctum sanctorum of her temple: the veil is the city's guardian and touching it will bring death to the perpetrator. Chapter 1. "The Feast". During a victory banquet, the mercenaries destroy Hamilcar's garden for sport in his absence. Hamilcar's daughter Salammbô tries to quell the riot. Matho falls in love with her. The slave Spendius is released, and he tries to persuade Matho to take Carthage for the mercenaries. Chapter 2. "At Sicca". The mercenaries leave the city unpaid and travel to Sicca. Later, Hanno comes and speaks to the mercenaries about delays in recompensing them, but he is driven off when Zarxas arrives and tells them of a treacherous massacre of 300 slingers who had stayed behind. Chapter 3. "Salammbô". Hamilcar's daughter prays and is instructed by Schahabarim. Chapter 4. "Beneath the Walls of Carthage". The mercenaries besiege Carthage; Matho and Spendius penetrate via the aqueduct. Chapter 5. "Tanit". Matho and Spendius steal the Zaïmph. Because Matho is caught while breaking into Salammbô's bedroom to see her again, she falls under suspicion of complicity. Chapter 6. "Hanno". The mercenaries leave Carthage and split into two groups, attacking Utica and Hippo-Zarytus. Hanno surprises Spendius at Utica, and occupies the city, but flees when Matho arrives and routs his troops. Chapter 7. "Hamilcar Barca". The hero returns and an attempt is made to blame him for Hanno's losses. He defends himself before the Council and defends the mercenaries, but turns against the barbarians when he sees the damage they have done to his property. Chapter 8. "The Battle of the Macar". Hamilcar defeats Spendius at the bridge of the Macar, three miles from Utica. Chapter 9. "In the Field". Hamilcar's troops are trapped by the mercenaries. Chapter 10. "The Serpent". Schahabarim sends Salammbô in disguise to retrieve the Zaïmph. Chapter 11. "In the Tent". Salammbô reaches Matho in his tent at the encampment. Believing each other to be divine apparitions, they make love. The mercenaries are attacked and dispersed by Hamilcar's troops. She takes away the Zaïmph, and on meeting her father, Hamilcar has her betrothed to Narr' Havas, a mercenary who has changed sides. Chapter 12. "The Aqueduct". The Carthaginians return to their city with the mercenaries in pursuit. Spendius cuts off the water supply to Carthage. Chapter 13. "Moloch". Carthaginian children are sacrificed to Moloch. Hamilcar disguises a slave-child as his son Hannibal and sends him to die in his son's place. Chapter 14. "The Defile of the Axe". The drought is broken and aid comes. Hamilcar drives the mercenaries away from their encampments. Later, thousands of mercenaries are trapped in a defile and slowly starve (the Battle of "The Saw"). Deaths of Hanno and Spendius, both by crucifixion. Chapter 15. "Matho". Victory celebrations at Carthage. Matho is tortured before his execution; Salammbô, witnessing this, dies of shock. The Zaïmph has brought death upon those who touched it. Question: To whom are the children of Carthage sacrificed? Answer:

Moloch.

(CNN) -- After months of hype and speculation, the Samsung Galaxy Gear smart watch arrived this week with a bang... followed by a whimper. Some commentators were impressed with the device's technical specifications including its 320 x 320-pixel, 1.63-inch AMOLED touchscreen, an 800MHz processor, a 315mAh battery, and the camera mounted in the wrist strap capable of capturing 1.9-megapixel stills and 10-second video clips. But many were disappointed by the countless features the smart watch did not include. Prior to the Galaxy Gear's launch, the internet was awash with fervent speculation as to what the watch would do. Many hoped that it would come replete with remarkable features such as acting as a projector, or allowing you to check your pulse and body temperature. Some commentators envisaged a watch made of radical new lightweight or transparent materials that could interface with the world around you to offer a genuine new experience not currently offered by smartphones or tablets. Read more: 20 wearable technologies from the future . At the device's glamorous launch, JK Shin, president of Samsung's IT and Mobile Division, said that the "Samsung Galaxy Gear benefits consumers by integrating smart device technology even deeper into their everyday lives, and bridges the gap between the mobile device and fashion worlds to create truly wearable technology." But does it really deliver on its promise? CNN spoke to a number of amateur designers who had mocked up smart watch ideas of their own about their impressions of the Galaxy Gear. Most seemed united in their disappointment. "I'm waiting for a smart watch that does something extra than just bring my phone to my wrist," says design engineer Esben Oxholm, who mocked up his own smart watch concept in February. "I can't tell you what it is, because I don't know. I just know that I'm not paying 300 to 400 bucks for a wrist attaching remote control that needs to be recharged every day." Christoph Behling, lead designer for Tag Heuer watches, shared Oxholm's criticisms, saying that in his view the Galaxy Gear will not serve as a replacement for regular watches, because it is lacking in two fundamental aspects: both in its form and its function. "At the moment, it is a decent enough electronics product, but it is not a decent enough watch," Behling says. "I can't see how it will benefit my life. Do I really want to leave my lovely Swiss watch at home in order to have a piece of mass produced consumer product with, in my view, limited functionality?" Behling says that Samsung's decision to tie the Galaxy Gear to a mobile phone means it cannot act as a proper cell phone substitute. Equally, he thinks that its rather industrial looking design, with exposed screws and a metallic finish will win few fans: "They didn't really engage with the idea that the watch is an accessory. It needs to be more targeted to a specific lifestyle where it delivers a particular function." Not all reviews have been negative. TechCrunch reporter Matt Burns praised the Galaxy Gear's 'attractive' screen and design; The Verge's Vlad Savov described it as "quite unlike anything you've seen before." Some have noted that the smart watches have in fact been about for years. Others say that the smart watch proper still hasn't been invented. Through all the fevered commentary, technological enthusiasts continue to draw up their own visions of what a smart watch should be. Many now rest their hopes on Apple to deliver the device they are waiting for, with countless speculative designs being proffered by the vast community of "Macolytes." So how far are we still from a watch that offers haptic feedback, wrist-based payments, gesture controls, and agnostic support for devices regardless of whether they are iOS, Android or Windows phone? According to some commentators, we are still Galaxies away. Summarize this article.

Passage: The film takes place in 1936, at the height of the Great Depression. Johnny Hooker, a grifter in Joliet, Illinois, cons $11,000 in cash ($187,600 today) in a pigeon drop from an unsuspecting victim with the aid of his partners Luther Coleman and Joe Erie. Buoyed by the windfall, Luther announces his retirement and advises Hooker to seek out an old friend, Henry Gondorff, in Chicago to teach him "the big con". Unfortunately, their victim was a numbers racket courier for vicious crime boss Doyle Lonnegan. Corrupt Joliet police Lieutenant William Snyder confronts Hooker, revealing Lonnegan's involvement and demanding part of Hooker’s cut. Having already spent his share, Hooker pays Snyder in counterfeit bills. Lonnegan's men murder both the courier and Luther, and Hooker flees for his life to Chicago. Hooker finds Henry Gondorff, a once-great con-man now hiding from the FBI, and asks for his help in taking on the dangerous Lonnegan. Gondorff is initially reluctant, but he relents and recruits a core team of experienced con men to con Lonnegan. They decide to resurrect an elaborate and supposedly obsolete scam known as "the wire", using a larger crew of con artists to create a phony off-track betting parlor. Aboard the opulent 20th Century Limited, Gondorff, posing as boorish Chicago bookie Shaw, buys into Lonnegan's private, high-stakes poker game. Shaw infuriates Lonnegan with his obnoxious behavior, then out-cheats him to win $15,000. Hooker, posing as Shaw's disgruntled employee, Kelly, is sent to collect the winnings and instead convinces Lonnegan that he wants to take over Shaw's operation. Kelly reveals that he has a partner named Les Harmon (actually con man Kid Twist) in the Chicago Western Union office, who will allow them to win bets on horse races by past-posting. Meanwhile, Snyder has tracked Hooker to Chicago, but his pursuit is thwarted when he is summoned by undercover FBI agents led by Agent Polk, who orders him to assist in their plan to arrest Gondorff using Hooker. At the same time, Lonnegan has grown frustrated with the inability of his men to find and kill Hooker. Unaware that Kelly is Hooker, he demands that Salino, his best assassin, be given the job. A mysterious figure with black leather gloves is then seen following and observing Hooker. Kelly's connection appears effective, as Harmon provides Lonnegan with the winner of one horse race and the trifecta of another race. Lonnegan agrees to finance a $500,000 ($8,526,000 today) bet at Shaw's parlor to break Shaw and gain revenge. Shortly thereafter, Snyder captures Hooker and brings him before FBI Agent Polk. Polk forces Hooker to betray Gondorff by threatening to incarcerate Luther Coleman's widow. The night before the sting, Hooker sleeps with Loretta, a waitress from a local restaurant. As Hooker leaves the building the next morning, he sees Loretta walking toward him. The black-gloved man appears behind Hooker and shoots her dead – she was Lonnegan's hired killer, Loretta Salino, and the gunman was hired by Gondorff to protect Hooker. Armed with Harmon’s tip to "place it on Lucky Dan", Lonnegan makes the $500,000 bet at Shaw’s parlor on Lucky Dan to win. As the race begins, Harmon arrives and expresses shock at Lonnegan's bet, explaining that when he said "place it" he meant, literally, that Lucky Dan would "place" (i.e., finish second). In a panic, Lonnegan rushes the teller window and demands his money back. As this happens, Agent Polk, Lt. Snyder, and a half dozen FBI officers storm the parlor. Polk confronts Gondorff, then tells Hooker he is free to go. Gondorff, reacting to the betrayal, shoots Hooker in the back. Polk then shoots Gondorff and orders Snyder to get the ostensibly respectable Lonnegan away from the crime scene. With Lonnegan and Snyder safely away, Hooker and Gondorff rise amid cheers and laughter. Agent Polk is actually Hickey, a con man, running a con atop Gondorff's con to divert Snyder and provide a solid "blow off". As the con men strip the room of its contents, Hooker refuses his share of the money, saying "I'd only blow it", and walks away with Gondorff. Question: How big is the bet Lonnegan places at Shaw's betting parlor? Answer:

Five hundred thousand dollars.

By . Stuart Woledge . PUBLISHED: . 11:42 EST, 16 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 17:36 EST, 16 August 2013 . Spanish Twitter trolls have made death threats against the chief minister of Gibraltar and his family during the row over border controls. Fabian Picardo said he had been abused via the social networking site because of his criticism of the Spanish Government's actions, which have led to long delays at the border with the British Overseas Territory. The chief politician in the enclave of around 29,000 people is the latest figure to be targeted online during the diplomatic row. Family man: Gibraltar Chief Minister Fabian Picardo says his family has received death threats on Twitters, pictured here with wife Julstine Olivero and their son . Conservative MEP Julie Girling, whose South West England constituency includes Gibraltar, has said she was called a 'Nazi' by trolls, who used foul and abusive language, and said she was 'too ugly to visit Spain anyway'. Mr Picardo, who is married to lawyer Justine Olivero, with whom he has a young son, tweets from @FabianPicardo. He said: 'I think social media is a great thing, but it also has a very negative aspect to it, which is people can use the cloak of anonymity to insult people and to say things that reasonable human beings don't say about each other. 'I have had some extreme reactions to things I say. I have even had death threats against my family by Twitter.' Asked where they came from, he said: 'From Spain, in Spanish.' Row: Santa Barbara Beach on the Rock of Gibraltar, the centre of a diplomatic spat between Britain and Spain . Ms Girling said on Wednesday that she had received 'a series of deeply offensive and racist messages' via Twitter and email after suggesting British holidaymakers boycott Spain over the Gibraltar blockade. She said one person, calling himself Javier, wrote: 'You are a Nazi Julie Goering.' Another used racist language to suggest she should holiday in India. She said: 'It may be that to be trolled goes with the job. However, the Spanish Twitter trolls aren't doing their argument any favours by trolling me. 'Their abuse shows they have no argument as they can only resort to the lowest form of language. 'The people of Gibraltar need our support. They will not be bullied by the Spanish Government or by a minority of the Spanish people. Neither will I.' Target: Conservative MEP Julie Girling said she has been bombarded by online abuse after calling for a boycott of Spanish holiday resorts . Economic engine: Fabian Picardo said he is in regular contact with local politicians, who wish to see an end to the stand-off . Spanish people living around Gibraltar support the British territory rather than their own government in the latest row over border controls, its chief minister has claimed. Fabian Picardo said he is in frequent 'fluid' contact with local politicians in La Linea and other areas where the more than 4,000 Spaniards who work in the peninsula live. Blaming the problems on the Government in Madrid, he said locals are supportive of Gibraltar as an 'economic engine' and want to see an easing of the border restrictions. He also warned that the fluctuating blockade could directly impact the already struggling Spanish economy if it goes on too long, with construction jobs that would normally go to Iberian workers being awarded elsewhere. Mr Picardo said: 'I have no contact with Madrid, but I have a lot of fluid contact with mayors in La Linea and others municipalities in the area who are very concerned about the effect the controls being imposed by Madrid could have on the working lives of people who come in and out of Gibraltar every day. 'So often ... the people of Gibraltar and the people of La Linea and San Roque become the whipping boys for what may be happening in Madrid, which might be totally unrelated to us here. 'The municipalities in the area are . hugely supportive of Gibraltar continuing to be an economic engine in . the zone and the free flow of people and goods to and from Gibraltar is . an important aspect of that. 'For example, we expect to be putting up a lot of affordable housing in the next two years, we would bring in a lot of Spanish labour for the purposes of building that housing. 'But of course if they can't get across the frontier we will have to bring in labour from elsewhere.' The Foreign Office is lodging a formal complaint with Spain over the latest 'unacceptable' delays at 'the border with Gibraltar. Border controls: Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy has called for a ¿50 charge to be imposed on people travelling between the two terretories . Officials are still considering a legal challenge to Spain over its imposition of additional border controls in the latest diplomatic spat between the two countries over the British Overseas Territory. The Spanish action followed the construction by the Gibraltar authorities of an artificial reef which Madrid claims is designed to ruin fishing in the area. The centre-right Popular Party Government of Mariano Rajoy, which is embroiled in a corruption row, responded by beefing up border controls and suggesting that a €50 (£43.30) fee could be imposed on every vehicle entering or leaving the outpost through its fenced border with Spain. Downing Street has described the controls as 'politically motivated and disproportionate', saying they put Spain at odds with EU laws on the freedom of movement. Mr Picardo said the delays at the border had improved since they were imposed but were still fluctuating between no delays and hold-ups of several hours. A child chess prodigy was among the latest people to be affected, with reports that Spain's under-10 national champion, eight-year-old Maria Eizaguerri, was held up for four hours as she tried to get to a competition in Gibraltar.

Passage: The Little White Bird is a series of short episodes, including both accounts of the narrator's day-to-day activities in contemporary London and fanciful tales set in Kensington Gardens and elsewhere.The story is set in several locations; the earlier chapters are set in the town of London, contemporaneous to the time of Barrie's writing, and involving some time travel of a few years, and other fantasy elements, while remaining within the London setting. The middle chapters that later became Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens are set in London's famous Kensington Gardens, introduced by the statement that "All perambulators lead to Kensington Gardens". The Kensington Gardens chapters include detailed descriptions of the features of the Gardens, along with fantasy names given to the locations by the story's characters, especially after "Lock-Out Time", described by Barrie as the time at the end of the day when the park gates are closed to the public, and the fairies and other magical inhabitants of the park can move about more freely than during the daylight, when they must hide from ordinary people. The third section of the book, following the Kensington Gardens chapters, are again set generally in London, though there are some short returns to the Gardens that are not part of the Peter Pan stories. In a two-page diversion in chapter 24, Barrie brings the story to Patagonia, and a journey by ship returning to England at the "white cliffs of Albion". Question: Where was the ship in Pentagonia returned to? Answer:
