By . Luke Salkeld . UPDATED: . 02:02 EST, 9 August 2011 . With solid wooden frame, veranda and steps, the construction of this Wendy house clearly involved careful planning. But according to the local authority, it should have only have been built with planning permission. Now the owners fear they may be ordered to take it down. Unnoticed: Sally and Brook Johnson said this Wendy House had been in their garden for 18 months, but the council say they now require retrospective planning permission . Sally and Brook Johnson say they were ‘flabbergasted’ when they were told the structure would require a retrospective planning application. They say the Wendy house has been standing in the grounds of their £1million country house unnoticed since they moved into their home 18 months ago. And they say it would have remained that way if they had not asked for a planning officer to assess a proposed extension to their house. They say the officer proceeded to wander around the grounds of their home - without permission - before spotting the offending structure. Mrs Johnson described the Wendy house, which is used by an unnamed six-year-old child, as being ‘within a garden wall under a tree which cannot be seen from anywhere’ at their home in Baydon, near Marlborough, Wiltshire. She is furious that she has been ‘forced’ to put in a retrospective application, which if refused will mean the Wendy House will almost certainly have to be pulled down. Mrs Johnson claimed having to get planning consent for a Wendy House for a six-year-old child ‘is unnecessary and is far beyond what the planning process is for’. And she said the cost of the planning application ‘far exceeds the cost of the Wendy house’. ‘What has happened here is extraordinarily unusual,’ she said. ‘We were completely flabbergasted. It is beyond my comprehension - I do not understand why we need planning permission. ‘[The . planning officer] was here to look at a planning application we had put . in for an extension. He chose to walk around the property and look . wherever he wanted to look without permission. He looked everywhere.’ Plans: The Wendy house only came to light when the couple asked for a planning officer to assess a proposed extension to their house, pictured here . She continued: ‘For whatever reason he then went back and reported there was a child’s Wendy house that needed planning permission. We then received a notice we had to apply for retrospective planning and go through a process . ‘I do not think it is necessary to have planning permission for a child of six to have a very old Wendy house which is not on concrete, not attached to the ground but just sits there within a walled garden under a tree which cannot be seen from anywhere and is not big enough for adults.’ A spokesman for Wiltshire Council yesterday said: ‘A planning officer went to the property to discuss a current planning application. ‘As part of his site inspection he discovered several other structures which required planning permission. He requested the owners put in retrospective planning applications. ‘Because this structure is above the permitted size for an area of outstanding natural beauty, it needs planning permission.’ The spokesman added that ‘the husband gave permission for him to carry out his inspection’. Earlier this year council officials ordered another couple to apply for planning permission for another little girl’s slightly smaller Wendy house. The 6ft by 8ft house was a birthday present for three-year-old Abigail Gent, from Shropshire. None of the neighbours raised any objection to the 7ft tall structure, but because of officials' 'crazy' red tape it still needed planning permission. Wrexham County Borough Council said permission was required to ensure no 'additional development' was carried out. A spokesman for the council said: 'The reason planning permission was required was due to previous planning conditions, when approval was granted for a barn conversion and a change of use of land for grazing of recreational horses.’ She added: 'Permission for this structure was granted on March 8, 2011.'

By . Steve Doughty . PUBLISHED: . 17:42 EST, 18 September 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 17:42 EST, 18 September 2012 . A gipsy thrown off a campsite after her son threatened other travellers with a gun suffered a breach of her human rights, European judges ruled yesterday. Maria Buckland and her family were evicted after being accused of causing a ‘very substantial nuisance’ and presenting ‘a risk of disturbance and violence’. Despite a series of appeals being rejected by Britain’s highest courts, judges in Strasbourg yesterday ruled the eviction was an ‘extreme’ interference with the 53-year-old’s human rights. 'Nuisance': Maria Buckland, 53, and her family were evicted from Cae Garw caravan park in Port Talbot, South Wales, a local authority site operated by the Gipsy council . They also ruled she should receive £3,400 to compensate her for ‘feelings of frustration and injustice’. The judgment by the European Court of Human Rights could now pave the way for other traveller families to use human rights grounds to fight eviction orders. The Buckland family first moved to the Cae Garw caravan park in Port Talbot, South Wales, in 1999. Six years later the Gipsy Council – the traveller-run organisation which operated the local authority-owned site – obtained a possession order claiming Mrs Buckland and five others were causing trouble. The family were, the Council said, ‘guilty of causing very substantial nuisance’. In November 2007, three Appeal Court judges headed by Lord Justice Dyson upheld a possession order against Mrs Buckland, saying that she had a ‘generally disruptive family’ with a ‘culture of disrespect’ who ‘presented a risk of disturbance and violence’. The European judges admitted that, during another appeal, a Swansea county court judge ‘was satisfied that her son, who resided part of the time with her, had been involved in an incident in which he threatened someone with a gun, although it was not clear whether the gun had been real or an imitation; and had dumped garden refuse’. Ruling: The judgment by the European Court of Human Rights could pave the way for other traveller families to use human rights grounds to fight eviction orders . However they claimed that the only wrong committed by Mrs Buckland herself was the failure to pay a £95 water bill. They ruled that British judges had been wrong to claim the eviction order was beyond challenge, ruling it should have been considered in the light of Article Eight of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees respect for a person’s home, private and family life. They said: ‘The loss of one’s home is the most extreme form of interference with the right to respect for the home. Any person at risk of an interference of this magnitude should in principle be able to have the proportionality of the measure determined by an independent tribunal.’ In total Mrs Buckland - who left the site in May 2008 to live on land owned by her brother, which had no planning permission for residential use – was awarded nearly £7,000 in damages and legal costs. In past cases British courts have ruled against traveller families who have protested that evictions break their human rights, especially when there has been evidence of their disruptive behaviour. Mrs Buckland’s case is thought to have cost taxpayers around £80,000 in legal aid and local authority fees on its way through the British court. Legal aid is not paid by the taxpayer to support cases in Strasbourg. Summarize this article.

Passage: Two friends are midway on a canoe trip down the Danube River. Throughout the story Blackwood personifies the surrounding environment—river, sun, wind—and imbues them with a powerful and ultimately threatening character. Most ominous are the masses of dense, desultory, menacing willows, which "moved of their own will as though alive, and they touched, by some incalculable method, my own keen sense of the horrible." Just after managing to land their canoe for the evening on the shifting, sandy islands just downstream across the Austria/Hungary frontier, the main character reflects on the river's potency, human qualities and will: Sleepy at first, but later developing violent desires as it became conscious of its deep soul, it rolled, like some huge fluid being, through all the countries we had passed, holding our little craft on its mighty shoulders, playing roughly with us sometimes, yet always friendly and well-meaning, till at length we had come inevitably to regard it as a Great Personage. Blackwood also specifically characterizes the silvery, windblown willows as sinister: And, apart quite from the elements, the willows connected themselves subtly with my malaise, attacking the mind insidiously somehow by reason of their vast numbers, and contriving in some way or other to represent to the imagination a new and mighty power, a power, moreover, not altogether friendly to us. At one point the two men see a man in a "flat-bottomed boat". However, the man appears to be warning the two, and ultimately crosses himself before hurtling forward on the river, out of sight. During the night and into the next day and night, the mysterious, hostile forces emerge in force, including large, dark shapes that seem to trace the consciousness of the two men, tapping sounds outside their tent, shifting gong-like sounds, and the appearance that the willows have changed location. In the morning the two discover that one of their two paddles is missing, there is a slit in the canoe that needs repair, and some of their food has disappeared. A hint of distrust arises between them. The howling wind dies down on the second day and night, and humming calm ensues. During the second night, the second man, the Swede, attempts to hurl himself into the river as a "sacrifice," "going inside to Them," but he is saved by the first character. The next morning, the Swede claims that the mysterious forces have found another sacrifice that may save them. They find the corpse of a peasant lodged in roots near the shore. When they touch the body, a flurry of living presence seems to rise from it and disappear into the sky, and later they see the body is pockmarked with funnel shapes as had been formed on the sands of the island during their experience. These are "Their awful mark!" the Swede says. The body is swept away, resembling an "otter" they thought they had seen the previous day, and the story ends. The precise nature of the mysterious entities in "The Willows" is unclear, and they appear at times malevolent and treacherous, and at times simply mystical, almost divine: "a new order of experience, and in the true sense of the word unearthly," and a world "where great things go on unceasingly...vast purposes...that deal directly with the soul, and not indirectly with mere expressions of the soul." These forces are also often contrasted with the fantastic natural beauty of the locale, itself a vigorous dynamic. In sum the story suggests that the landscape is an intersection, a point of contact with a "fourth dimension" — "on the frontier of another world, an alien world, a world tenanted by willows only and the souls of willows." Question: What do the men hear outside of their tent? Answer:

Tapping and Gong-like sounds

By . Mark Duell . A mother who bravely confronted a gang of yobs vandalising a children’s play area was left with shocking injuries after being hit by a teenage girl. The unnamed woman, who is in her early 40s, suffered a powerful single blow from a girl believed to be aged just 14 - after she arrived at the public park to pick up her daughter in the early evening. She had challenged a group of youngsters after seeing them throw newly-installed swings up and over mountings at Leyland Park in Wigan, Greater Manchester. Injuries: The unnamed woman, who is in her early 40s, suffered a powerful single blow from a girl believed to be aged just 14 after she arrived at the public park to pick up her daughter in the early evening . The victim, who does not want to be named, was floored and left dazed after being punched by the girl - who she believes she has identified via Facebook. Because the mother has a job which involves dealing with the public face to face, she has had to take time off work and may lose income while the black bruising to her partially closed right eye subsides. She said: ‘I did what I what hope most people in their right minds would do. ‘The council has spent a lot of money, which at the end of the day is our money, doing a nice job refurbishing the park - but some of these children just love being destructive. ‘I went there to collect my daughter and could see out of the corner of my eye a group of teenage children throwing the swings over the top of the frame they are mounted on. ‘That kind of vandalism, particularly with the play equipment being so new, really annoys me and I am the type of person to challenge it. Location: She had challenged a group of youngsters after seeing them throw newly-installed swings up and over mountings at Leyland Park (pictured) in Wigan, Greater Manchester . ‘I told them to stop it and I got a barrage of effing back for my trouble. Things got quite heated and then one of the teenagers punched me, out of the blue, in the face, which sent me flying. 'I told them to stop it and I got a barrage of effing back for my trouble. Things got quite heated and then one of the teenagers punched me, out of the blue, in the face, which sent me flying' Victim . ‘As an adult you are in an awkward position when you are assaulted by a minor because your physical actions can be misinterpreted and you can then find yourself in trouble, rather than the attacker. ‘I was feeling dizzy and a bit woozy but I found the police straight away because this type of behaviour can’t be tolerated. It certainly must not be allowed to become the norm in a public park where lot of young children are playing. ‘This kind of teen gang can’t take over play areas like this without people who bring their own children up properly asking them to behave. Upset: Radio 5 Live presenter Nicky Campbell was reduced to tears after a group of young litter louts who abused and spat on him when he confronted them about their behaviour in Clapham, south London . ‘Otherwise we might as well pour all the money that has been spent on making Leyland Park such a lovely facility down the drain, for all the value for money we are getting.’ Two weeks ago Nicky Campbell wrote for the Mail about how he was reduced to tears after a group of young litter louts abused and spat on him when he confronted them about their behaviour. The Radio 5 Live presenter said the incident in Clapham, south London, left him ‘extremely upset’ after he questioned the yobs for ripping open bin bags and kicking rubbish all over his street. Campbell, 53, admitted that he had to be comforted afterwards by his wife Tina, but did not regret his actions and would probably do the same again. Summarize this article.

Faced with the knowledge that only chemotherapy would save her from terminal neck cancer, newly-pregnant Stacie Crimm made the ultimate sacrifice. The 41-year-old, who had been told by doctors she would never be able to conceive a child, decided to refuse the treatment so her unborn daughter could live instead. Stacie was able to survive for five months before being forced to deliver Dottie Mae, weighing just 2lbs 1oz, by Caesarean section - and even managed to hold her on one occasion before succumbing to the disease three days later. Scroll down for video . Trade: Stacie Crimm, right, refused chemotherapy for cancer so that her unborn baby Dottie Mae, left, could survive . Sacrifice: Dottie Mae will now be cared for by Stacie's brother Ray Phillips and his wife Jennifer . 'This baby was everything she had in this world,' Stacie's brother Ray Phillips told the Oklahoman. It was he Stacie called in March when she received the unfathomable news that she was pregnant after years of thinking she was infertile. 'You're not going to believe this,' the mother-to-be had told him in a mixture of laughter and tears, according to The Oklahoman. But over the next days and weeks, as she shopped for all the things her baby would need, a serious worry began to gnaw at Stacie. She was having severe headaches and double vision, while tremors struck every inch of her body. She began to tell Ray of her growing concerns. 'I'm worried about this baby,' she said in one text, according to the Oklahoman. 'I hope I live long enough to have this baby,' said another message. 'Bubba, if anything happens to me, you take this child.' Stacie was no longer with the father of the baby and would have raised her daughter as a single mother if she survived. At her family's encouragement, Stacie visited a number of doctors and in July, a CT scan revealed that she had head and neck cancer. Emotional: The moment Stacie was able to meet her baby daughter before she passed away. Also pictured are her siblings Ray and Elizabeth . Tiny: Dottie Mae was delivered four months early by Caesarean section, weighing just 2lbs 1oz . She had to do what no would-be mother should have to - choose between her life and that of her baby's. It was an easy decision. Ray told the Oklahoman that his sister waived the potentially lifesaving chemotherapy in the hope that she would eventually hold a healthy baby in her arms. Then on August 16, Stacie collapsed at her home in Ryan, Oklahoma and was rushed to OU Medical Center in Oklahoma City. Doctors said the invasive tumour had begun wrapping around the brain stem, the Oklahoman reported. Two days later the baby's heart rate plummeted, then Stacie's heart stopped. Code Blue was issued. Doctors and nurses rushed to her aid and decided a C-section was the baby's only chance. Dottie Mae arrived into the world weighing less than a third of an average newborn. She was swiftly taken to neonatal intensive care, while her mother was placed in intensive care in another building. 'Sister was dying right there. She was gasping,' Ray told the Oklahoman. 'The human body fights death.' Stacie fought back and managed to wrestle herself off the ventilator and sedation after a few days. 'There was still a lot of hope at that point,' said Ray's wife Jennifer. Loving mother: Dottie Mae was able to meet her mother before Stacie died three days later on September 11 . Part of the family: Stacie's brother Ray Phillips has taken Dottie Mae into his home with his four children after the baby's father left his sister . But the cancer had affected one of her eyes and destroyed the muscle behind it, . It had paralysed her throat so that when she did talk, she was hard to understand. She had tumours on her brain. She often became unconscious and had not been able to sign Dottie Mae's birth certificate. Stacie was too weak to be taken to her baby, and her baby was too weak to be brought to her. 'We'd show her pictures and she would cry and she would want to hold her baby,' Ray told NewsOk. 'It was quite the ordeal. I felt helpless. I wanted to help her, I wanted to do what I could for her - we all did - but they had told us it was impossible for her to see the child.' On September 8, Stacie stopped breathing and once again was resuscitated. Hospital staff warned the family that she was very close to death. But she had not yet held, kissed or looked into the blue eyes of the baby whose life she had chosen above her own. Nurse Agi Beo, herself a mother, could not bear to think of Stacie's emotional pain and decided to do something about it. She worked with nurse Jetsy Jacob and talked to Neoflight, the medical centre's neonatal transport team, about using a capsule-like ICU to safely move Dottie Mae to her mother. Special unit: Dottie Mae had to be transferred into an ICU module so she could be taken from intensive care to her mother . 'I knew all of this was going on in the background and I didn't say nothing to her until I knew it was going to happen because I didn't want to get her hopes up,' Ray said. He asked his sister what she would would think about seeing her daughter that day. Stacie's eyes popped open and she began looking around to find her. Soon the nurses arrived with Dottie Mae and laid her right on her mother's chest. The two stared into each other's eyes for several minutes. 'Nobody said anything, it got real quiet,' Ray told NewsOk. 'I told my sister, "You have done a beautiful thing". It was the perfect moment, that's what I called it.' Stacie died three days later. Her funeral was on September 14. Her obituary on the Dudley Funeral Homes website reads: 'Dottie Mae was the light of her life and her greatest accomplishment. She chose to give this baby life instead of taking treatment for herself.' Dottie Mae now lives with Ray, his wife Jennifer and their four children in their Oklahoma City home . 'I think she's a miracle. I just want to do right by her and do what Stacie asked,' Jennifer said. Summarize this article.

Passage: The Revenge tells the story of Clermont D'Ambois, the brother of the dead Bussy. Unlike the ruthless Bussy, Clermont is a Christian Stoic. Clermont is a follower of the Duc de Guise, a powerful nobleman—though this relationship breeds suspicion in the King, who is urged on by the political manipulator Baligny. (Malicious characters in the play see Clermont's devotion to the Guise in homoerotic terms; but the stoical Clermont prefers relations with men over those with women, precisely because they are asexual.) Eventually the Guise is assassinated, and Clermont commits suicide. A subplot involves the relationship between Clermont and Tamyra, Bussy's former lover; Tamyra urges Clermont to take vengeance on her husband Montsurry, the agent of Bussy's destruction. The cowardly Montsurry manages to avoid a confrontation with Clermont through most of the play; but in the final Act, Bussy's ghost rises to tell Clermont that divine justice demands the punishment of Montsurry. Clermont finally persuades Montsurry to face him on the field of honor and accept his death. The Stoic nature of the play extends beyond the values and worldview of the character Clermont. In The Revenge of Bussy D'Ambois, even more so than in other Chapman plays, events are reported rather than enacted, and little actually happens on stage. This has prevented the play from earning itself a significant stage history. Question: How does Clermont pass away? Answer:

He commits suicide.

Question: Ursula went to the store and bought butter, bread, a package of cheese, and tea. The bread was 2 times cheaper than the butter, while the price of the butter was 80% of the price of cheese. Tea was the most expensive and cost twice the price of a package of cheese. If the tea cost $10, how much did Ursula pay for her purchases? Answer:

The price of the tea was twice the price of the cheese, so the cheese cost was 10 / 2 = $<<10/2=5>>5. The price of the butter was 80/100 * 5 = $<<80/100*5=4>>4. If the bread was 2 times cheaper than butter, that means it cost 4 / 2 = $<<4/2=2>>2. That means Ursula paid for all her shopping 2 + 4 + 5 + 10 = $<<2+4+5+10=21>>21. The answer is 21.

Question: Adam goes to school every day. On Monday he had 6 lessons of 30 minutes each, and on Tuesday he had 3 lessons of 1 hour each. On Wednesday, Adam spent twice as much time at school as on Tuesday. How much time in total did Adam spend at school during these 3 days, in hours? Answer:

On Monday Adam had 6 * 30 = <<6*30=180>>180 minutes of lessons, which is 3 hours. On Wednesday Adam spent twice as much time at school as on Tuesday, so he spent 2 * 3 = <<2*3=6>>6 hours at school. This means that during these three days Adam spent at school 3 + 3 + 6 = <<3+3+6=12>>12 hours. The answer is 12.

(CNN) -- The Guinness World Records Book 2011 lists the CBS soap opera "The Bold and The Beautiful" as the "most popular soap opera -- current" for its success not only at home, but abroad. The show can be seen in more than 110 countries and garnered 24.5 million viewers across the globe in 2008, making it more watched than any other telenovela or soap opera on television, according to Guinness. Too bad daytime dramas aren't doing as well in the United States. As fans mourn the impending loss of long-running soap operas "All My Children" and "One Life to Live," such dramas in other countries and in other languages are thriving. In Ireland, fans are closely following the trials and tribulations of the Bishops on "Fair City," while there's plenty of drama being stirred up in Munich on the popular German soap, "Lindenstraße." Audiences in the United Kingdom have been enthralled with "EastEnders" since it debuted in 1985 and the Dutch get their soapy fix with "Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden," or "Good Times, Bad Times." "Home and Away" in Australia offers plenty of crickey, hard-bodied, soapy action while the Belgians enjoy "Thuis" ("At Home"). Even in America, the Hispanic telenovelas are racking up ratings that most soaps would envy. Sam Ford, co-editor of the book "The Survival of Soap Opera," said part of the issue could be a matter of timing. "Soap operas are considered part of daytime (TV) here and they are considered part of prime time (TV) in many other areas," he said. "When U.S. soaps air elsewhere, when British and Australian soaps air and when telenovelas air, a good portion of them air at night and they don't necessarily have some of the same stigmas of daytime programming in the U.S." Despite their vaunted place in American television history, soaps have not always received the praise or recognition of their night time counterparts. Many of the original television soap operas began as radio programs which made the leap to the small screen in the 1950s and 1960s when the country had a very different landscape. Advertisers rushed to get onboard with the hopes of snagging the interest -- and dollars -- of the stay-at-home mothers who watched the programs. By the 1980s, the shows experienced a pop culture revival with the help of characters like Luke and Laura on "General Hospital" and gave several major stars their first break in the business. According to The Guardian, when Luke and Laura married in 1981, 14 million viewers tuned in to watch, while now the soap averages an audience between 2.5 to 3 million. But the long-running nature of the soaps, where fans can literally check back in years later and catch right up, is not playing as well with today's viewers. Lynn Leahey, editor of Soap Opera Digest, told The Guardian that shifting viewer demographics are to blame. "Women are not at home in the same numbers they used to be," she said. "Mothers used to pass the soap-watching bug on to their daughters -- that just doesn't happen now." Instead, today's soaps are competing with the drama of reality television shows and the time suck that can be social networking. That craving for a storyline is still there and Peter Tinoco, president and chief executive officer of Venevision Productions, said telenovela audiences enjoy that weaving of a tale. "There is a difference between our telenovela and the soap operas in the United States," he said. "The soap operas in the United States are ongoing while our telenovelas are like if you were reading a book which has a beginning and an ending and through it people try to live the life of the protagonist. I think the success is in having a beginning and an ending because people don't get tired of watching something." Tinoco's company is the producer of the telenovela, "Eva Luna," which is the highest-rated domestically produced telenovela. The show recently presented its grand finale on the Univision network which drew more than 9.7 million viewers, according to Nielsen data. "Eva Luna" also did gangbusters in Latin American countries, Tinoco said, a testament to the cultural importance of such shows in the Hispanic community. The history of the telenovela began decades ago, Tinoco said, with illustrators producing comic book-style pamphlets of operas and plays that the poor population in Latin American countries couldn't afford to attend. From there, telenovelas share a history with soaps in that the stories morphed into radio programs and later television shows, he said. Tinoco said the popularity of telenovelas in the U.S. are a mirror of the success they have found in Latin America where every channel has multiple series. When one ends, a new one takes its place and audiences follow, he said. "They are very basic," he said. "It's a love story, even if it has a little bit of suspense or a little bit of comedy; they always involve a love story." Daniela Guevara, with the Hispanic marketing firm Lanza Group told CNN she understands the appeal of the telenovelas. "I'm not surprised to see the success because it's something that the Hispanic community has grown up with," she said. "It's part of our family, part of our life, since we're younger, family, grandparents, parents, brothers, sisters. So I'm not surprised." The popularity of the telenovelas is expected to increase. According to Nielsen data "by 2050, Hispanics are projected to account for more than 30% of the U.S. population" and that number will be reflected in the ratings. "The Hispanic consumer represents the greatest potential for sustained growth in the U.S. today," said a recent Nielsen report titled "What You Think You Know vs. What You Need to Know about U.S. Hispanics and Media." "At the current rate of expansion, Hispanics will drive population growth and, in turn, consumption in America for the next generation." So while the future looks brighter for telenovelas, soap operas appear to be in their winter of discontent. Soap actor Tristan Rogers said in Sam Ford's book that the shows, which now are down to only four left out of 20 in years past, are on their way out. "This is not a genre that will be around in another 50 years," Rogers said. "In many respects, it isn't necessary. They have made their mark, and almost every type of medium owes something to the way the soaps have been put together, whether they want to admit it or not." Editor Ford, who has written about the demise of American soaps for Fast Company, said whether or not American soaps are headed for extinction in the short term remains to be seen. "Ultimately that will be up to the networks and the advertisers," he said. "There are four (soap operas) still on the air in the U.S. and that's 20 hours week. There are plenty of other genres on TV that don't have that much programming." CNN's Rafael Romo contributed to this report . Summarize this article.

This group of female horse riders are stripping off to raise funds for a good cause. Each one is involved in the equestrian world in some capacity; either hunting, show jumping, or into eventing or dressage. And the one-time models, who each represent a different month, have dressed up in lingerie for a racy horsey-themed calendar. Scroll down for video . The women from the equestrian world have stripped down to lingerie and each represent a different month . They've accessorised themselves with little other than strategically-placed riding props such as whips, caps and riding jackets. The women from the equestrian scene in Wiltshire, Somerset and Devon are all amateurs, and for most is the first time in front of a camera. The Foxy Hunters calender 2015, now in its sixth year, features black and white shots of the women and raises money for air ambulance services. One model, Laura Quick 31, of Honiton, Devon, competes in dressage and show jumping. She said: 'We certainly have a giggle during the shoots. Fun aside though the cause for the calendar is the real reason we all participate.' The Foxy Hunters Calendar was conceived by Photographer David Betteridge of DHB Photography in 2009. They've accessorised themselves with little other than strategically-placed props such as whips, caps and riding jackets . The women are all in the horsey world and are either hunters, show jumpers, or into eventing or dressage . Having photographed many equestrian events he became aware of the dangerous nature of the sport. The idea is to raise funds for the Wiltshire Air Ambulance, and the Hampshire and IOW Air Ambulance, which play such a vital role for local horse riders. When a friend's life was saved by the Hampshire and IOW Air Ambulance Crew following a riding accident the project became even more important and very personal and so it was decided that the funds raised also go to help their amazing work. Mr Betteridge said: 'My market is primarily online - I have orders from all around the world, we send them to New Zealand, to Australia and a lot to America and Canada. 'We have people that come through the Facebook group and offer to be in it, and they come from around the country, but most of the women in it are still locals from Wiltshire.' Last year he had to double the amount of calendars he printed. 'It started with just a couple of hundred likes on Facebook and now it has just rocketed - I often think I must be dreaming.' To date more than £26,000 has been raised to help keep the Air Ambulance Services flying. The calendar is available via the website foxyhunters.co.uk priced at £12.50 plus postage and packing.

Question: Conor can chop 12 eggplants, 9 carrots, and 8 potatoes in a day. If he works 4 times a week, how many vegetables can he chop? Answer:

Conor can chop 12 x 4 = <<12*4=48>>48 eggplants a week. He can chop 9 x 4 = <<9*4=36>>36 carrots a week. He can chop 8 x 4 = <<8*4=32>>32 potatoes a week. Therefore, Conor can chop 48 + 36 + 32 = <<48+36+32=116>>116 vegetables a week. The answer is 116.

Passage: The setting is a society in which aging has been cured, individuals have indefinite lifespans, and population control is used to limit the population of the United States to forty million. This is maintained through a combination of infanticide and government-assisted suicide - in short, in order for someone to be born, someone must first volunteer to die. As a result, births are few and far between, and deaths occur primarily by accident. The scene is a waiting room at the Chicago Lying-In Hospital, where Edward K. Wehling, Jr. is faced with the situation that his wife is about to give birth to triplets, but he has found only one person - his maternal grandfather - who will volunteer to die. A painter on a stepladder is redecorating the room with a mural depicting famous doctors and nurses - in particular, Dr. Benjamin Hitz, the hospital's Chief Obstetrician. Leora Duncan, from the Service Division of the Federal Bureau of Termination, arrives to pose for the mural. The mural is a picture of a garden that's well taken care of. It is a metaphor for the United States at that time. Later, Dr. Hitz enters the scene, conversing with everyone but the painter of the mural. It becomes apparent to all that Wehling is in a state of despair, wanting not to send his grandfather and two of his children to death. Dr. Hitz questions Wehling's belief in the system, and tries to make Wehling feel better by explaining how the surviving child will "live on a happy, roomy, clean, rich planet." Suddenly, Wehling draws a revolver and kills Dr. Hitz, Leora Duncan, and himself - "making room for all three children." The painter, who is about two hundred years old, is left to reflect on the scene, and thinks about life, war, plague, and starvation. Descending the stepladder, he initially takes the revolver, intending to kill himself, but he can't do it. The last line is from the receptionist at the Bureau: “"Thank you, sir," said the hostess. "Your city thanks you; your country thanks you; your planet thanks you. But the deepest thanks of all is from all of the future generations."” Question: What does the painter do at the end of the story? Answer:

He picks up Edward's revolver, intending to kill himself, but can't do it

(CareerBuilder.com) -- The late actress Bette Davis once said "I do not regret one professional enemy I have made. Any actor who doesn't dare to make an enemy should get out of the business." It seems Davis -- who counted one-time co-star Miriam Hopkins as her life-long arch-nemesis -- was on to something.

Most episodes of the show highlight at least one prank that Jim pulls on Dwight. A few examples: . • Jim put Dwight's stapler in a Jell-O mold . • Jim convinced Dwight it was Friday when it was actually Thursday . • Jim replaced all of Dwight's pens and pencils with crayons . • Jim sent Dwight a fax from himself in the future, i.e. To: Dwight Schrute From: Future Dwight Dwight, At 8AM today someone poisons the coffee.

The expert says: "Dwight has to face that Jim is bullying him, perhaps in the name of 'friendship' or 'humor,' but it is still blatant bullying and a mind game. Although Dwight might benefit from confronting Jim about how this is unacceptable, it will only fuel Jim's antics and give Jim satisfaction to see that Dwight is perturbed. "It's better for Dwight to ignore Jim, so that Jim gets no charge out of his antics. When a 'friend' is doing something reprehensible, which these antics are, it's best to remove oneself.

Though her boss convinces Erin to stay, and the two continue to be work nemeses. The expert says: "Workplace scenarios where one colleague feels she is 'carrying' another are tricky because the power is unequal and few of us want to leave our jobs (especially in the downturn).

(CNN) -- We began breakfast one recent morning delivering this news to Luna: Rosanna, her caregiver, was going on a two-week vacation. "Who is going to take care of me?" she asked. And then she gave me "the look." I call it pouty face. Her dime-sized brown eyes squeeze together, the lower lip rolls out, the hands ball up. Every time she looks like that, my crazy Mama Head empties of sugarplum fairies and fills with fears of pedophilia and child snatching. Previously on CNN: I'm her mom, not the nanny! We have had the same babysitter since Luna was born. Rosanna would step in front of a train for Luna. She is not easily replaced. But when Luna was a baby, we figured we had options. There is a reason God gave us mothers, tias (aunties), abuelitas (grandmothers) and the occasional BFF you call "co-madre" regardless of whether they are actually your kid's godmother and hence your "co-mother." The problem is every Latina in New York works until death. There is no cotton-topped Grandma on standby sitting in her house-dress feeding chickens. I don't think all Latinas are so overprotective of their kids. But this one is. Luna was just a baby the first time Rosanna went on vacation. I called my mother who lives in DC and laid on the guilt. I recited the CDC statistic that 1 in 4 girls is sexually abused before age 18 (it's all about sexual abuse with the Mamas). She hopped on a train and I left for work. She called me an hour later with Telemundo blaring in the background. Luna had early pouty face. She must be malnourished by my lousy parenting and in need of chicken soup. I told my mother she drinks only breast milk and to look in the fridge. Luna began throwing up at 3 a.m. I called the pediatrician, who yelled through the speakerphone to call 911. "You ate soup when you were a week old," my mother admitted sheepishly. Arce: My nanny's sadness is also my own . Rosanna demanded to vet her next replacement. She hangs out with a legion of sitters representing all the nations of Central and South America, and they have their special ways. Children should be stuffed with comfort food; pock marked by lipstick kisses, wrinkled from hugging and rocking, and wear fuzzy socks because their feet can never be too warm. I'm not saying other ethnic groups don't coddle their kids, but Latinas just seem to excel at it. I remember being handed a worksheet at a Mommy and Me group that mapped out three goals for toddlers: adaptation, separation, and integration. My sitter and her gang laughed at me. Adaptation? Baby will do it when she's ready. Take potty training. For months my toilet was surrounded by Latina sitters staring at Luna, waiting for poo. Separation? Never happens. Mamas, grandmas, nanas, your 400 tias and most particularly your girlfriends are in this with you cradle-to-grave. Integration? Yes, they are allowed to play with children being raised by their friends. That's plenty. I wasn't going to be drawn into this kind of ethnocentricity. My employer offers a service providing bonded, certified, triple-A, recommended, backup babysitters. My sitter threatened to pull my Latina card. "You're leaving your/my child with a total stranger in a strange land?!" I reminded her I was born here. The next morning "Grace" arrived. Luna gave me pouty Face, but I walked out the door with my head high. I got a call an hour later. One of Rosanna's snitches was at my apartment. "She's feeding her cold plantains," she whispered in Spanish. I told her to butt out. Then came call No. 2, this time from my neighbor. "The Spanish nannies are icing the replacement," she warned me. "Luna has pouty face." Call No. 3 came from the sitter herself. "Luna doesn't want to take a nap or eat her porridge," she said. "Luna no longer naps, and what is porridge?" I asked. I came home after Call No. 5 to a troupe of nannies staring down this poor woman from "a Caribbean country where they don't even speak Spanish." I accused everyone of bigotry and got that stare that says "new mom." Grace revealed she had never cared for a child "this particular age" and said she had to go. The specter of Grace reigned over our household for months. If you don't behave, Grace will be coming for the weekend. Clean up your toys, or Grace will pick you up from preschool. If only I could find that woman, I'd hire her one more time just to revive the memory. The next replacement sitter was an aging woman sent by an agency with hearts and fairies dancing across their logo. Not an hour after her arrival came phone call No. 1. "Mama, it's Luna. I'm on the phone upstairs." Let's start with the fact that Luna had never dialed the phone on her own. "Why are you upstairs?" I inquired. "I don't nap. I don't want bath." I could feel pouty face through the phone. Then came call waiting. The nanny was on the other line complaining that Luna wouldn't bathe at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. I clicked to Luna. "Mama come!" I was home in an hour. Rosanna had won. During her next vacations, she outsourced Luna to her tribe -- Monica from Chile, Delma from El Salvador, Jaime from Guatemala. It was a brilliant solution for about a year, until all their kiddies started school. Suddenly, mamas were ditching their Latina sitters left and right in exchange for grimy after-school programs and college students trying to make an extra buck toward tuition. Those who didn't soon lost their sitters to more fulltime jobs. We clung to Rosanna. But her next vacation left us in a lurch. We requested a Spanish speaker from an agency, and they sent a woman from Puerto Rico. An hour later, my building superintendent called. "Your baby sitter is a freak," he said. "Luna told me to call. And she's not Puerto Rican." Who pretends to be Puerto Rican to get a job? I couldn't come home. I posted a cry for help to my faux friends on Facebook, which elicited only sympathy. The super called again. "Would you like me to take her?" he asked, he of the four kids who've scampered our halls chatting in Albanian since they were toddlers. Great! He even has the keys! I expressed my glee on Facebook and the replies poured in. In short order, my super was accused of being a pedophile, a child trafficker, a canonize-able saint, and a shyster looking to rob me. I got home to find Luna with his daughter, Ana, all grown up, making paper bag puppets. Pouty face no more! Ding Ding Ding -- sitter Lotto! I had found an unemployed college graduate who lives down the hall and is great with kids. I was all set until I got altruistic and recommended her to a friend. Less than a year later she had a fulltime job. That brings me back to this week. As soon as I mentioned back-up care, Rosanna sprung into action and ran it all by Luna who now talks in full sentences. They announced a girl named Yomaris would be monitoring Luna. I also hired a lovely girl from back-up care who they allowed to hang out with them. I still had Luna cruising from play-date to play-date. Rosanna somehow managed to monitor the entire thing from the Dominican Republic. By week's end, everyone had it covered. I was out of it, sitting totally detached at work, sporting my own pouty face. Summarize this article.

Rose Arce was lost when her regular baby-sitter, Rosanna, took a vacation . Arce's daughter, Luna, chased away the women an agency sent to watch her . Rosanna arranged an army of Latina sitters to sit in for her, which seemed to work .

A dormant volcano buried two miles (3.2 km) beneath Stoke-on-Trent could supply heat to homes in the UK city by 2019. There is a layer of hot rocks at this depth that heats water to more than 105°C (220°F). And the City Council has announced it is planning to invest £52m ($85m) in a geothermal district heating network (DHN) to bring this heated water to the surface. It could then be used to supply nearby homes and buildings with cheaper fuel. Houses in Stoke-on-Trent could be heated by geothermal energy by 2019. A dormant volcano 350-million-years-old is believed to be heating rocks and water to more than 105°C (220°F) underground. This heated water would be brought to the surface by a geothermal district heating network (DHN). Pictured is a DHN in Paris . According to the Stoke Sentinel, work on the DHN will begin in 2016 and is expected to be completed by March 2019. District heating involves using pipes to transfer heat in the form of hot water or steam from one place to another. In the case of geothermal district heating, this involves bringing heated water up from underground. Beneath Earth’s crust, geothermal energy is stored in the form of heat. This can heat subsurface rocks and, in turn, heat water stored in underground reservoirs - or aquifers. Bringing this water to the surface can provide a sustainable source of heat for homes, as the water underground is replenished. Geothermal energy can be used not only to provide heat, but also to provide electricity in the form of geothermal power generation. While the UK does not have the resource potential of volcanic regions like New Zealand and Iceland for such power generation, it has enough geothermal energy underground to make heat-only projects a viable option. A network of pipes would take supply homes in Hanley, Stoke and Festival Park with heated water from this sleeping volcano. The scheme would apparently lift 1,000 homes out of so-called 'fuel poverty' - a term used to describe households that can't reasonably afford to keep their homes warm - save 11,700 tonnes of CO2 emissions a year, and safeguard 1,300 jobs. While geothermal DHN’s are fairly common in Europe, this would be only the UK’s second such system. The first was built in Southampton in 2012. The heat would be pumped to buildings through seven miles (11km) of pipes, providing a cheaper form of heating than is currently available. Each home would have a pair of pipes connected to the network, which would eliminate the need for a conventional boiler in the home. The pipes will be under the council’s control, but the private sector will be tasked to construct and maintain the £17m ($28m) geothermal well. The hot water comes from heated rocks that are linked to a 350 million-year-old volcano in North Staffordshire. District heating involves using pipes to transfer heat in the form of hot water or steam from one place to another. In the case of geothermal district heating, this involves bringing heated water up from underground where it is heated by rocks. This water can be pumped down before being returned to the surface . While no one is entirely sure why the rocks are heated, its believed this dormant volcano is the cause. ‘With deep geothermal, you need a particular kind of geology, with rocks that are at a higher temperature than normal,’ Professor Peter Styles from Keele University told the Sentinel. ‘But as you need to be able to extract the heat through water, you also need permeable rocks.’ He added: ‘It’s a bit like having a hot water bottle in the ground.’ A network of pipes would take supply homes in Hanley, Stoke and Festival Park (shown) with heated water from this sleeping volcano. The scheme would apparently lift 1,000 homes out of so-called 'fuel poverty' - a term used to describe households that can't reasonably afford to keep their homes warm . While geothermal DHN’s are fairly common in Europe this would be only the UK’s second such system, with the first in Southampton. The heat would be pumped to bildings through seven miles (11km) of pipes (comparable network shown in Iceland), providing a cheaper form of heating than is currently available . Summarize this article.

Houses in Stoke-on-Trent could be heated by geothermal energy by 2019 . A dormant volcano 350 million years old is believed to be heating rocks and water to more than 105°C (220°F) underground . This heated water could be brought to the surface and used to heat homes . This would be done by a geothermal district heating network (DHN) Only one currently exists in the UK at the moment, in Southampton . Stoke City Council will invest £52m ($85m) in the project starting in 2016 .

Passage: Travis Bickle, a 26-year-old honorably discharged U.S. Marine, is a lonely, depressed young man living on his own in New York City. He becomes a taxi driver to cope with his chronic insomnia, driving passengers every night around the boroughs of New York City. He also spends time in seedy porn theaters and keeps a diary. Travis becomes infatuated with Betsy, a campaign volunteer for Senator and presidential candidate Charles Palantine. After watching her interact with fellow worker Tom through her window, Travis enters to volunteer as a pretext to talk to her, and takes her out for coffee. On a later date, he takes her to see a Swedish sex education film, which offends her, and she goes home alone. His attempts at reconciliation by sending flowers are rebuffed, so he berates her at the campaign office, before being kicked out by Tom. Travis confides in fellow taxi driver Wizard about his thoughts, which are beginning to turn violent, but Wizard assures him that he will be fine, leaving Travis to his own destructive path. Travis is disgusted by the sleaze, dysfunction, and prostitution that he witnesses throughout the city, and attempts to find an outlet for his frustrations by beginning a program of intense physical training. A fellow taxi driver refers Travis to illegal gun dealer Easy Andy, from whom he buys a number of handguns. At home, Travis practices drawing his weapons and constructs a sleeve gun to hide and then quickly deploy a gun from his sleeve. One night, Travis enters a convenience store moments before an attempted armed robbery and he shoots and kills the robber. The shop owner takes responsibility for the shooting, taking Travis' handgun. On another night, teenage prostitute Iris enters Travis's cab, attempting to escape her pimp Matthew "Sport" Higgins. Sport drags Iris from the cab and throws Travis a crumpled twenty-dollar bill, which continually reminds him of her and the corruption that surrounds him. Some time later, Travis hires Iris, but instead of having sex with her, attempts to dissuade her from continuing in prostitution. He fails to completely turn her from her course, but she does agree to meet with him for breakfast the next day. Travis leaves a letter to Iris at his apartment saying he will soon be dead, with money for her to return home. After shaving his head into a mohawk, Travis attends a public rally, where he plans to assassinate Senator Palantine, but Secret Service agents notice him with his hand in his coat and chase him. He flees and later goes to the East Village to invade Sport's brothel. A violent gunfight ensues and Travis kills Sport, a bouncer, and a mafioso. Travis is severely injured with multiple gunshot wounds. Iris witnesses the fight and is hysterical with fear, pleading with Travis to stop the killing. After the gunfight, Travis attempts suicide, but has run out of ammunition and resigns himself to lying on a sofa until police arrive. When they do, he places his index finger against his temple gesturing the act of shooting himself. Travis, after having recovered from his wounds and returning to work, receives a letter from Iris' father thanking him for saving her life and revealing that she has returned home to Pittsburgh, where she is going to school. Later, he reconciles with Betsy after dropping her off at home in his cab. When she tries to pay her fare, Travis simply smiles at her and drives away. In the final shot, Travis looks in the rearview mirror and suddenly becomes agitated. Question: After the shooting, where does Travis learn Iris traveled? Answer:

Irish goes home to Pittsburgh

Question: A candy store sold 20 pounds of fudge for $2.50/pound, 5 dozen chocolate truffles for $1.50 each and 3 dozen chocolate-covered pretzels at $2.00 each. How much money did the candy store make? Answer:

20 pounds of fudge at $2.50/pounds is 20*2.50 = $<<20*2.50=50.00>>50.00 The 5 dozen truffles were sold in individual units so a dozen is equal to 12 so 5*12=<<5*12=60>>60 60 chocolate truffles, at $1.50 each sold for 60*1.50 = $<<60*1.50=90.00>>90.00 The 3 dozen chocolate pretzels sold in individual units so a dozen is equal to 12 so 3*12 = <<3*12=36>>36 36 chocolate pretzels sold for $2.00 each sold for 36*2 = $<<36*2=72.00>>72.00 All total, the store made 50+90+72 = $<<50+90+72=212.00>>212.00 from candy sales The answer is 212.

Question: John has 25 horses. He feeds each horse twice a day and feeds them 20 pounds of food at each feeding. He buys half ton bags of food. How many of those will he have to buy in 60 days? Answer:

He feeds each horse 2*20=<<2*20=40>>40 pounds of food a day So he uses 40*25=<<40*25=1000>>1000 pounds of food a day That means in 60 days he uses 60*1000=<<60*1000=60000>>60000 pounds of food Each bag of food is 2000*.5=<<2000*.5=1000>>1000 pounds So he needs to buy 60000/1000=<<60000/1000=60>>60 bags of food The answer is 60.

Washington (CNN) -- The Justice Department says it has decided not to charge former U.S. Attorney General Alberto Gonzales or other Bush administration officials in the controversial firings of nine U. S. attorneys, according to a letter sent to the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. Special counsel Nora Dannehy investigated the firings and Attorney General Eric Holder "has accepted her recommendation that criminal prosecution is not warranted," the letter said. The question as to whether the dismissals were made for political reasons led to a huge controversy in Washington. Gonzales ultimately resigned. In the letter, Associate Attorney General Ronald Welch said Gonzales made "inaccurate and misleading" statements about the firings. The report also said Gonzales' chief of staff, Kyle Sampson, also made misleading statements. But the report by Dannehy concluded there was "insufficient evidence to establish that persons knowingly made material false statements" or tried to obstruct justice. An earlier report by the Justice Department's Office of the Inspector General and the Office of Professional Responsibility drew particular attention to the 2006 firing of New Mexico's U.S. attorney, David Iglesias, and whether he was fired to influence voter fraud prosecutions in his state. Dannehy's probe did not find "any prosecutable criminal offense was committed with regard to the removal of David Iglesias." George Terwilliger, a lawyer representing former Gonzales, issued a statement welcoming the end of the 22-month investigation and saying Gonzales was "vindicated by the Justice Department's long overdue conclusion." The statement said Gonzales had consistently maintained he had done nothing wrong. "Those who made unwarranted allegations and predicted a prosecution owe Judge Gonzales an apology," said Terwilliger. Summarize this article.

The firing of nine U.S. attorneys during the Bush administration was a major controversy . Then-Attorney General Alberto Gonzales ultimately resigned . The Justice Department has decided not to charge Gonzales or other Bush officials in the firings .

By . Liz Thomas . PUBLISHED: . 18:49 EST, 7 June 2012 . | . UPDATED: . 09:16 EST, 8 June 2012 . The BBC’s Diamond Jubilee coverage misfired, one of its main presenters admitted yesterday. Clare Balding confessed she believed the corporation’s coverage of the river pageant fell short. And in an acknowledgement of the audience’s frustration at the ‘inane’ commentary, she said: ‘If you ever hear me say the atmosphere is wonderful, shoot me.’ Disappointed: Clare Balding has admitted she felt the BBC's coverage of the Diamond Jubilee fell short . Miss Balding is the first presenter to speak out about the coverage, which has brought more than 3,600 complaints. She said at the Hay Festival: ‘I think (the BBC’s) aim with the pageant was to give a festival atmosphere. ‘They were worried that a camera just looking at a boat might be a bit dull. It was done with the best of intentions. There was a lot going on that was difficult to deal with.’ 'Inane': Matt Baker, left, was singled out as the BBC received criticism from viewers for their coverage of the Diamond Jubilee Thames River pageant on Sunday . Miss Balding reported from the £1million rowing boat Gloriana and said that six out of the nine cameras on the vessels were not working and bad weather caused communications problems between producers and presenters. She suggested better preparation would have helped, adding: ‘It is difficult to cover a big event. You have a minute to make an impact. 'Tedious': Matt Baker and Sophie Raworth anchor the BBC's coverage of the River pageant on Sunday . Have you taken any pictures of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations? From The Thames to your town, we want to see them. Send them for publication to the Mail Online on the email address: [email protected] . ‘Because of my sports background I believe facts are my friend. If you ever hear me say the atmosphere is wonderful, shoot me.’ Miss Balding did not directly criticise any of her colleagues but viewers have hit out at Fearne Cotton, Matt Baker and Chris Hollins. Miss Cotton interviewed war veterans during the pageant but got one man’s name wrong and viewers found her tone disrespectful. Baker was branded ‘woeful’ for his presentation of Sunday’s pageant. The BBC said last night it reviews all its broadcasts and the Jubilee coverage ‘will be no exception’. Sorry, wrong name: Fearne Cotton addressed a war veteran called John as Jim during one interview . Criticism: Tess Daly reports on the Diamond Jubilee River Pageant on Sunday which led to a Twitter backlash . Summarize this article.

Passage: The book begins with the death of Helen Carey, the much beloved mother of nine-year-old Philip Carey. Philip has a club foot and his father had died a few months before. Now orphaned, he is sent to live with his aunt Louisa and uncle William Carey. Early chapters relate Philip's experiences at his uncle's vicarage. Aunt Louisa tries to be a mother to Philip, but his uncle takes a cold disposition towards him. Philip's uncle has a vast collection of books, and Philip enjoys reading to find ways to escape his mundane existence. Less than a year later, Philip is sent to a boarding school. His uncle and aunt wish for him to eventually attend Oxford. Philip's disability and sensitive nature make it difficult for him to fit in with the other students. Philip is informed that he could have earned a scholarship for Oxford, which both his uncle and school headmaster see as a wise course, but Philip insists on going to Germany. In Germany, Philip lives at a boarding house with other foreigners. He enjoys his stay in Germany. Philip's guardians decide to take matters into their own hands and they persuade him to move to London to take up an apprenticeship. He does not fare well there as his co-workers resent him, because they believe he is a "gentleman". He goes on a business trip with one of his managers to Paris and is inspired by the trip to study art in France. In France, Philip attends art classes and makes new friends, including Fanny Price, a poor and determined but talentless art student who does not get along well with people. Fanny Price falls in love with Philip, but he does not know and has no such feelings for her; she subsequently commits suicide. Philip realizes that he will never be a professional artist. He returns to his uncle's house in England to study medicine and pursue his late father's field. He struggles at medical school and comes across Mildred, who is working as a waitress in a tea shop. He falls desperately in love with her, and they date regularly, although she does not show any affection for him. Mildred tells Philip she is getting married to another man, leaving him heartbroken; Philip subsequently enters into an affair with Norah Nesbit, a kind and sensitive author of penny romance novels. Later Mildred returns, pregnant, and confesses that the man for whom she had abandoned Philip never married her. Philip breaks off his relationship with Norah and supports Mildred financially, though he can ill afford to do so. To Philip's dismay, after Mildred has her baby she falls in love with his good friend Harry Griffiths, and runs away with him. About a year later, Philip runs into Mildred again and, feeling sympathy for her, takes her in again. Though he no longer loves her, he becomes attached to her baby. When he rejects her advances, she becomes angry with him, destroys most of his belongings, and leaves forever. In shame, and quickly running out of money, Philip leaves the house for good. He meets Mildred once more towards the end of the novel, when she summons him for his medical opinion. As she is probably suffering from syphilis resulting from her work as a prostitute, Philip advises Mildred to give up this life. Mildred declines and exits from the plot, her fate remaining unknown. While working at a hospital, Philip befriends family man, Thorpe Athelny. Athelny has lived in Toledo, Spain. Enthusiastic about the country, he is translating the works of St. John of the Cross. Meanwhile, Philip invests in mines but is left nearly penniless because of events surrounding the Boer War. Unable to pay his rent, he wanders the streets for several days before the Athelnys take him in and find him a department store job, which he hates. His talent for drawing is discovered and he receives a promotion and a raise in salary, but his time at the store is short-lived. After his uncle William dies, Philip inherits enough money to allow him to finish his medical studies and he finally becomes a licensed doctor. Philip takes on a temporary placement at a hospital with Dr. South, an old, cantankerous physician whose wife is dead and whose daughter has broken off contact with him. However, Dr. South takes a shine to Philip's humour and personable nature, eventually offering Philip a partnership in his medical practice. Although flattered, Philip refuses because of his plans to visit Spain. He soon goes on a small summer vacation with the Athelnys, hop-picking in the Kent countryside. There he finds that one of Athelny's daughters, Sally, likes him. In a moment of romantic abandon one evening they have sex, and when she thinks she is pregnant, Philip decides to marry Sally and accept Dr. South's offer, instead of traveling the world as he had planned. They meet in the National Gallery where, despite learning that it was a false alarm, Philip becomes engaged to Sally, concluding that "the simplest pattern, that in which a man was born, worked, married, had children, and died, was likewise the most perfect." He stops searching for happiness and decides to be content with his lot. Question: Why does Phillip end his relationship with Norah Nesbit? Answer:

Mildred returns pregnant.

Passage: The novel picks up soon after where Tarzan of the Apes left off. The year is 1910 and Tarzan is 22 years old. The ape man, feeling rootless in the wake of his noble sacrifice of his prospects of wedding Jane Porter, leaves America for Europe to visit his friend Paul d'Arnot. On the ship he becomes embroiled in the affairs of Countess Olga de Coude, her husband, Count Raoul de Coude, and two shady characters attempting to prey on them, Nikolas Rokoff and his henchman Alexis Paulvitch. Rokoff, it turns out, is also the countess's brother. Tarzan thwarts the villains' scheme, making them his deadly enemies. Later, in France, Rokoff tries time and again to eliminate the ape man, finally engineering a duel between him and the count by making it appear that he is the countess's lover. Tarzan deliberately refuses to defend himself in the duel, even offering the count his own weapon after the latter fails to kill him with his own, a grand gesture that convinces his antagonist of his innocence. In return, Count Raoul finds him a job as a special agent in the French ministry of war. Tarzan is assigned to service in Algeria. A sequence of adventures among the local Arabs ensues, including another brush with Rokoff. Afterward Tarzan sails for Cape Town and strikes up a shipboard acquaintance with Hazel Strong, a friend of Jane's. But Rokoff and Paulovitch are also aboard, and manage to ambush him and throw him overboard. Miraculously, Tarzan manages to swim to shore, and finds himself in the coastal jungle where he was brought up by the apes. He soon rescues and befriends a native warrior, Busuli of the Waziri, and is adopted into the Waziri tribe. After defeating a raid on their village by ivory raiders, Tarzan becomes their chief. The Waziri know of a lost city deep in the jungle, from which they have obtained their golden ornaments. Tarzan has them take him there, but is captured by its inhabitants, a race of ape-like men, and is condemned to be sacrificed to their sun god. To Tarzan's surprise, the priestess to perform the sacrifice is a beautiful woman who speaks the ape language he learned as a child. She tells him she is La, high priestess of the lost city of Opar. When the sacrificial ceremony is fortuitously interrupted, she hides Tarzan and promises to lead him to freedom. But the ape man escapes on his own, locates a treasure chamber, and manages to rejoin the Waziri. Meanwhile, Hazel Strong has reached Cape Town where she meets Jane and her father, Professor Porter, together with Jane's fiancĂŠ, Tarzan's cousin William Cecil Clayton. They are all invited on a cruise up the west coast of Africa aboard the Lady Alice, the yacht of another friend, Lord Tennington. Rokoff, now using the alias of M. Thuran, ingratiates himself with the party and is also invited along. The Lady Alice breaks down and sinks, forcing the passengers and crew into the lifeboats. The one containing Jane, Clayton and "Thuran" is separated from the others and suffers terrible privations. Coincidentally, the boat finally makes shore in the same general area that Tarzan did. The three construct a rude shelter and eke out an existence of near starvation for some weeks until Jane and William Clayton are surprised in the forest by a lion. Clayton loses Jane's respect by cowering in fear before the beast instead of defending her. But they are not attacked, and discover the lion dead, speared by an unknown hand. Their hidden savior is in fact Tarzan, who leaves without revealing himself, not realizing whom he was rescuing. Jane breaks off her engagement to William. Later Jane is kidnapped and taken to Opar by a party of the Oparian ape-men who were pursuing their escaped sacrifice, Tarzan. The ape man learns of her capture and tracks them, managing to save her from being sacrificed by La. La is crushed by Tarzan's spurning of her for Jane. Tarzan and Jane make their way up the coast to the former's boyhood cabin, where they encounter the remainder of the castaways of the Lady Alice, safe and sound after having been recovered by Tarzan's friend D'Arnot in another ship. "Thuran" is exposed as Rokoff and arrested. Tarzan weds Jane and Tennington weds Hazel in a double ceremony performed by Professor Porter, who had been ordained a minister in his youth. Then they all set sail for civilization, taking along the treasure Tarzan had found in Opar. Question: Who throws Tarzan overboard a ship bound for Capetown? Answer:

Rokoff and Paulvitch.

Passage: The comedian Alvy Singer (Woody Allen) is trying to understand why his relationship with Annie Hall (Diane Keaton) ended a year ago. Growing up in New York, he vexed his mother with impossible questions about the emptiness of existence, but he was precocious about his innocent sexual curiosity. Annie and Alvy, in a line for The Sorrow and the Pity, overhear another man deriding the work of Federico Fellini and Marshall McLuhan; McLuhan himself steps in at Alvy's invitation to criticize the man's comprehension. That night, Annie shows no interest in sex with Alvy. Instead, they discuss his first wife (Carol Kane), whose ardor gave him no pleasure. His second marriage was to a New York writer who didn't like sports and was unable to reach orgasm. With Annie, it is different. The two of them have fun making a meal of boiled lobster together. He teases her about the unusual men in her past. He met her playing tennis doubles with friends. Following the game, awkward small talk led her to offer him first a ride up town and then a glass of wine on her balcony. There, what seemed a mild exchange of trivial personal data is revealed in "mental subtitles" as an escalating flirtation. Their first date follows Annie's singing audition for a night club ("It Had to be You"). He suggests they kiss first, to get it out of the way. After their lovemaking that night, Alvy is "a wreck", while she relaxes with a joint. Soon Annie admits she loves him, while he buys her books on death and says that his feelings for her are more than just love. When she moves in with him, things become very tense. Eventually, he finds her arm in arm with one of her college professors and the two begin to argue whether this is the "flexibility" they had discussed. They eventually break up, and he searches for the truth of relationships, asking strangers on the street about the nature of love, questioning his formative years, until he casts himself in Snow White opposite Annie's Evil Queen. Alvy returns to dating, but the effort is marred by neurosis, bad sex, and finally an interruption from Annie, who insists he come over immediately. It turns out she needs him to kill a spider. A reconciliation follows, coupled with a vow to stay together come what may. However, their separate discussions with their therapists make it evident there is an unspoken divide. When Alvy accepts an offer to present an award on television, they fly out to Los Angeles, with Alvy's friend, Rob (Tony Roberts). However, on the return trip, they agree that their relationship is not working. After losing her to her record producer, Tony Lacey (Paul Simon), he unsuccessfully tries rekindling the flame with a marriage proposal. Back in New York, he stages a play of their relationship but changes the ending: now she accepts. The last meeting for them is a wistful coda on New York's Upper West Side, when they have both moved on to someone new. Alvy's voice returns with a summation: love is essential, especially if it is neurotic. Annie sings "Seems Like Old Times" and the credits roll. Question: What does Alvie and Annie decide on the return trip from Los Angeles? Answer:

That their relationship is not working.

Passage: On his deathbed, Mr. Dashwood (Tom Wilkinson) tells his son from his first marriage, John (James Fleet), to take care of his second wife (Gemma Jones) and three daughters, Elinor (Emma Thompson), Marianne (Kate Winslet) and Margaret (Emilie Franรงois), since they will inherit nothing. John's greedy and snobbish wife Fanny (Harriet Walter) convinces him to give his half sisters practically nothing financially and they immediately install themselves in the large house, forcing the Dashwood ladies to look for a new home. Fanny invites her brother Edward Ferrars (Hugh Grant) to stay with them. Elinor and Edward soon form a close friendship, but Fanny haughtily tells Mrs. Dashwood that Edward would be disinherited if he married someone of no importance with no money. Mrs. Dashwood understands her meaning completely. Sir John Middleton (Robert Hardy), a cousin of the widowed Mrs. Dashwood, offers her a small cottage house on his estate, Barton Park in Devonshire. She and her daughters move in, and are frequent guests at Barton Park. The Dashwoods meet the older Colonel Brandon (Alan Rickman), who falls in love with Marianne at first sight. However, Marianne barely acknowledges him although he is carried in the highest regard and shows only kindness towards her and her family. One afternoon, Marianne takes a walk with Margaret and slips and falls in the rain. She is carried home by the dashing John Willoughby (Greg Wise), with whom Marianne falls in love. They spend a great deal of time together and clearly fall in love to the point that he snips a lock of her hair to carry with him. Upon leaving one evening, Willoughby asks to spend time alone with Marianne the next day, which could only mean he is going to propose. She asks her mother to stay home from church and during the service Margaret wonders if he will kneel down while proposing. When they return, the find Marianne in tears and Willoughby out of sorts, excusing himself to leave unexpectedly and inexplicably for London. Sir John's mother-in-law, Mrs. Jennings (Elizabeth Spriggs), invites her daughter and son-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Palmer (Hugh Laurie and Imelda Staunton), to visit. They bring with them the impoverished Lucy Steele (Imogen Stubbs). Lucy confides in Elinor that she and Edward have been engaged secretly for five years, dashing Elinor's hopes of a future with him. Mrs. Jennings offers to take Lucy, Elinor, and Marianne to London. Marianne and Lucy are excited to go since both of their loves are there. Marianne repeatedly reaches out to Willoughby upon their arrival, but receives no response although the talk in town is that they are engaged. When their paths finally cross at a ball. Although Marianne is overwhelmed with happiness to see her love, he greets her coldly. Due to his demeanor, Marianne faints while exiting. The next morning, all of Marianne's letters to him are returned with a note from Willoughby and the lock of her hair that he cut. He apologizes for any misunderstanding that may have caused her to believe that he loved her. Marianne is overwhelmed with grief, but Elinor is incensed since it was clear to her entire family that he loved Marianne greatly. Mrs. Jennings then divulges that Willoughby is now engaged to Miss Grey, the woman he attended the ball with, who has a large inheritance. Lucy is invited to stay with John and Fanny, as a way for Fanny to avoid inviting the Dashwood sisters to visit them. Lucy, falsely believing that she has a friend in Fanny, confides her clandestine engagement to Edward and is thrown out of the house. Edward's mother demands that he break off the engagement. When he refuses, she arranges to have his fortune transferred to his younger brother, Robert (Richard Lumsden). On hearing this, Colonel Brandon offers Edward the living of the parish on his estate, feeling sympathy for the honorable Edward. He also explains to Elinor why Willoughby left Marianne: he had impregnated Brandon's ward Beth, the illegitimate daughter of his former love Eliza. Willoughby's aunt Lady Allen disinherited him upon the discovery, forcing him to find a wealthy woman to marry. Unfortunately, it all occurred the day that he was set to propose to Marianne. Elinor hopes that knowing he truly loved her is enough to make her sister feel better about losing the man she loved. On their way home to Devonshire, Elinor and Marianne stop for the night at the country estate of the Palmers, who live close enough to see Willoughby's estate. Marianne cannot resist and walks to see it, becoming caught in a torrential rain. Everyone looks for her frantically and Colonel Brandon finds her just in time. She is sick enough that the doctor recommends that the Palmers remove their child from the house and tells Elinor to prepare herself for her sister's passing. Colonel Brandon, sick with worry over Marianne's health begs for a way to help. Elinor requests that he bring their mother to encourage Marianne to fight through her illness. She arrives just her daughter's fever breaks and she is out of danger. Once they return home, Colonel Brandon and Marianne begin spending time together. During her convalescence, Marianne admits to her sister that she was once foolish to love with her whole heart instead of holding back like Elinor. She also admitted that she knew Willoughby couldn't have all he wanted since he either had to choose love or money. The Dashwoods soon learn that Miss Steele has become Mrs. Ferrars and assume that she is married to Edward. Later when Edward visits their house, they learn that Miss Steele jilted him in favor of his brother Robert once he had the entire inheritance, releasing Edward from his engagement.

By . David Gardner . PUBLISHED: . 12:45 EST, 3 April 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 15:26 EST, 3 April 2013 . After years of fruitless searching for love, retired multi-millionaire Dinshah Vimadalal decided drastic action was needed. The 69-year-old travel agency tycoon splashed out £15,000 on a full-page advertisement in The Times of India’s matrimonial section in search of a younger bride. Under the headline ‘He is a Great Guy – Wish to Marry Him?’ the bizarre feature spells out exactly what the Mumbai-born businessman is looking for in a wife. Looking for love: Dinshah Vimadalal placed this advert in the Mumbai edition of the Times of India which describes the sort of woman he wants to marry . His demands include a woman who is slim, under 40, childless and a meat eater. Despite owning his own private plane, a sprawling mansion in Mexico and a fleet of cars and motorcycles, Mr Vimadalal has struggled to find love since his wife died in a car crash three years ago. Multimillionaire: Dinshah Vimadalal has struggled to find a new partner after his wife died three years ago . He boasts about flying the Atlantic, driving his motorbikes at speeds of over 130 mph and, despite being a heavy smoker, he claims any woman older than 40 would have trouble keeping up with his all action lifestyle. ‘You must speak English and have done your basic schooling. I don't care how much money you have or don't have ... you should have a sense of adventure and the desire to live an exciting life,’ he wrote in the ad that appeared in the paper’s Mumbai edition on Sunday. ‘You should be no older than 40 and slim. And please don't be a vegetarian. If you are divorced it doesn't matter, but definitely no children. 'I am much older than 40 but am very young at heart, very young physically, very active and any girl older than 40 would have a tough time keeping up with my active lifestyle,’ he added. Mr Vimadalal returned to his native Mumbai in search of love after trawling Mexico, the U.S. and online and finding 'only idiots'. He first moved from India to Canada to work for an airline company in 1967 before later moving to Los Angeles because Vancouver was 'too cold'. It was there he met his first wife Firoza and the two started up a travel company called Magnum together. But he closed it down in 1994 after he 'had become super rich and didn’t need to work anymore', according to the Mumbai Mirror. He later spent five years building the house in Mexico which he named Palacio de Noelle after his sister. Since his ad was published on Sunday, Mr Vimadalal has 'interviewed' 20 potential brides, but 'there have been no serious possibilities.' 'Two or three were very sweet, nice people, but I place a lot of emphasis on the figure,' he told the Daily Telegraph. 'I don't mind if the face is not pretty but I like a slim figure and the girls who have been very nice had big fat bottoms. I don't like that.' But as his advert suggests, he is full of self-belief and says he is determined to find that special someone. 'I won’t leave, till I find a bride. I genuinely miss having a life partner,' he told a reporter from the Mumbai Mirror. Summarize this article.

By . Anthony Bond . They are the horrific pictures which prove that a mysterious spate of dolphin deaths along the northern Gulf Coast of America have nothing to do with natural causes. This bottlenose dolphin was found dead along the coastline of Mississippi after being shot. When investigators examined the mammal, they found a bullet inside its body. It is one of a number of dolphins which have washed ashore along the northern Gulf Coast over the past few months. Scroll down for video . Horrific: Over the past several months, dolphins have washed ashore along the northern Gulf Coast with bullet wounds, missing jaws and hacked off fins. This is a bottlenose dolphin which was found dead in the water - a bullet wound can be seen bottom left . Cruel: Federal officials say they are looking into the mysterious deaths. This is a close-up of the bullet wound on the bottlenose dolphin, left. This bullet, right, was found inside the dolphin . Some have had bullet wounds while others have had missing jaws and hacked off fins. The most recent case was of a dolphin found dead off the coast of Mississippi, its lower jaw missing. The situation is so serious that federal officials are now looking into the mysterious deaths. Officials from the National Oceanic . and Atmospheric Administration are asking everyone from beachgoers to . fishermen to wildlife agents to be on the lookout for injured or dead . dolphins - and any unusual interaction between the mammals and people. 'It's very sad to think that anyone could do that to any animal,' said Erin Fougeres, a marine mammal scientist for NOAA's southeast office in St. Petersburg, Florida. 'There have been some obviously intentional cases.' Fougeres said five dolphins have been found shot. In Louisiana, two were shot in 2011 and one in 2012. And in Mississippi, three were found shot this year, the most recent one last week, which was first reported by the Sun-Herald newspaper. Slain: A horrific photo of a dead bottlenose dolphin taken in late September in Louisiana shows it after shot on Elmer's Island . Investigation: The California-based Animal Legal Defense Fund said it is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever harmed the dolphins . Besides the shootings, a dolphin in . Alabama was found with a screwdriver stuck in its head over the summer. Another in Alabama had its tail cut off, and that animal survived. Still . others were missing fins or had cuts to their bodies. 'I think it is outrageous,' said Moby Solangi, the executive director of Institute for Marine Mammal Studies in Gulfport, Mississippi. 'These animals are very docile, very friendly and they're very curious. 'They come close to the boats, so if you're out there, you'll see them riding the bows. And their curiosity and friendship brings them so close that they become targets and that's the unfortunate thing.' Dolphins are among the species protected by the 1972 Marine Mammal Protection Act. Violators can be fined up to $10,000 per violation and sent to prison for a year. The California-based Animal Legal Defense Fund said it is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whomever harmed the dolphins. Increasing: The Institute for Marine Mammal Studies, seen during an unrelated dolphin rescue, says that the barbaric attacks have increased lately while having first seen early this year . The gruesome discoveries are heartbreaking for Gulf Coast scientists, who follow the population. Fougeres said that two months before the 2010 oil spill disaster off the coast of Louisiana, dolphins began stranding themselves and that there were unusually high mortality rates - possibly due to a cold winter that year. Since then, the spill and another cold winter in 2011 have contributed to several deaths within the Gulf's dolphin population, experts say. Investigators have also found discolored teeth and lung infections within some of the dead dolphins. Since February 2010, experts have tallied more than 700 recorded dolphin deaths. Experts have also found increased 'human interaction' cases, which include dolphins tangled in fishing lines - and the more violent incidents. Fougeres cautions that some of the dolphin mutilations might have happened after the animal died from natural causes and washed ashore. She said that in the case of the dolphin with the lower jaw missing, someone could have cut off the jaw for a souvenir after the animal died. 'We have to do a necropsy on the animal and collect tissue samples to try to determine whether or not the injury was pre-or post-mortem' she said. Attacks: Bodies of dolphins found with gunshot wounds, slashes, missing jaws and in one case a stabbing by a screw driver has launched an investigation along the Gulf of Mexico (file photo) She also said that the increase in cases might be due to NOAA's dolphin stranding network becoming better trained to notice cruelty cases or unusual deaths. Some have suggested that the deaths are the work of a few angry fishermen who are upset about bait-stealing dolphins. Yet the majority of fishermen say that while dolphins can be annoying, they wouldn't harm the creatures. 'I don't know who to suspect ... I was really sickened when I read about it,' said Tom Becker, of T&D Charters out of Biloxi, Mississippi., and head of the Mississippi Charter Boat Captains Association, said he's never had a problem with dolphins. The mammals tend to swim behind his boat until a fish too small to keep is tossed over the side. 'You'll see him under your boat,' Becker said, about the dolphin. 'He'll get it before it can reach the bottom. I usually leave the area if they're doing that.' Fougeres said she doesn't think the dolphins are being targeted by a gang of people or even by a lone, sick individual. 'The cases are fairly spread apart,' she said. 'I don't think there is one dolphin murderer out there.' Summarize this article.

Passage: Years after a zombie apocalypse, survivors have set up outposts across the United States. One outpost in the city of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, contains a feudal-like government. Bordered on two sides by rivers and on the third by an electric fence, the city has become a sanctuary. The rich and powerful live in a luxury high-rise called Fiddler's Green, while the rest of the population subsists in squalor. Paul Kaufman (Dennis Hopper), the city's ruthless ruler, has sponsored Dead Reckoning, an armored personnel vehicle that can travel through the zombie-infested areas with ease. Riley Denbo (Simon Baker) is the designer and commander of Dead Reckoning. Unlike Kaufman, Riley is respected for his work in protecting the citizens, as well as providing them with food and medical supplies. Using Dead Reckoning, Riley and his crew ventured into areas overrun with zombies to scavenge for supplies. On these mission, they notice many zombies exhibiting intelligent behavior. One such zombie is "Big Daddy" (Eugene Clark), formerly a gas station owner. After the mission, Riley retires from commanding Dead Reckoning. Back to the city, he gets to Chihuahua (Phil Fondacaro)'s bar. There, he sees a hooker named Slack (Asia Argento) being forced in a cage with some zombies to entertain guests. Riley and Charlie (Robert Joy) save Slack; Charlie kills Chihuahua in the ensuing chaos. Riley, Charlie and Slack are arrested. Slack reveals that Kaufman ordered her execution, for helping Mulligan (Bruce McFee) to instigate rebellion among the poor. Meanwhile, Cholo DeMora (John Leguizamo), Dead Reckoning's second in command, is denied an apartment in Fiddler's Green despite his service to Kaufman. In retaliation, Cholo takes over Dead Reckoning and threatens to destroy Fiddler's Green with it. Kaufman approaches Riley and tasks him, as well as Charlie and Slack, to retrieve Dead Reckoning. They are supervised by Manolete (Sasha Roiz), Motown (Krista Bridges), and Pillsbury (Pedro Miguel Arce). On the way, Manolete is bitten and then killed by Slack. After catching up with Dead Reckoning, Riley approaches the vehicle alone. Charlie, Slack, and Pillsbury follow him after subduing Motown and leaving her behind. Realising Riley is working for Kaufman, Cholo holds both Riley and Charlie at gunpoint. As he prepares to fire Dead Reckoning's missiles at Fiddler's Green, Riley uses a small device and deactivates Dead Reckoning's weapons systems; he then destroys the device. Motown, who had regained consciousness, opens fire and nearly kills both Riley and Cholo (who is maimed by one of the gunshots). She is bitten by a zombie and killed by Slack. Riley convinces Cholo to allow him escape North and to join him, but the latter decides to head back to Fiddler's Green to deal with Kaufman; his partner, Foxy (Tony Nappo) accompanies him. While en route, Cholo is bitten by a zombie and leaves to kill Kaufman by himself. Riley takes over Dead Reckoning once again and returns to Fiddler's Green. Elsewhere, Big Daddy (who had gathered a large group of zombies) learns that they can walk safely underwater. He leads the zombies to cross the river to the human city. They take the guards by surprise and begin massacring the people. As a result of the zombies making it into the city, the electric fences that once kept the zombies out have now become a wall to trap them and the humans inside. Seeing the city overrun, Kaufman runs with his money, and encounters a zombified Cholo in the parking garage. As the two struggle, Big Daddy kills both with a propane tank. Riley's group arrives at the city only to come upon a drawbridge having already been drawn. Riley leaves to bring the bridge down, but a small group of zombies begin to attack Dead Reckoning. Riley and the others manage to dispose and evade the zombies. After crossing the bridge, they helplessly witness people being killed by the zombies. Realizing it is too late to save them, they mercy kill them with missiles. It is then revealed that most of the poor people were lead to safety by Mulligan, thus surviving the assault. Riley and Mulligan share a well-meaning goodbye as they split up with their groups. As they see Big Daddy and the zombies, who are, curiously, not attacking the surviving humans, leaving the city, Riley decides to leave them alone. While lighting up the rest of the fireworks (which were earlier used to distract the zombies but are now useless), Riley's group set off for Canada on Dead Reckoning. Question: What was slack's occupation, before her near execution? Answer:

A hooker

Passage: The play opens with the recruiter, Captain Plume's Sergeant Kite, recruiting in the town of Shrewsbury. Plume arrives, in love with Sylvia, closely followed by Worthy, a local gentleman who is in love with Sylvia's cousin Melinda. Worthy asked Melinda to become his mistress a year previously, as he believed her to be of inadequate fortune to marry. But he changes his mind after she comes into an inheritance of ÂŁ20,000. Melinda accepts an invitation from Captain Brazen, another recruiter, to annoy Worthy, as she was offended by Worthy's previous offer. However, her maid Lucy meets Brazen, pretending to be Melinda, hoping to marry him herself. Melinda and Sylvia argue after Melinda says that the money she has inherited makes her more desirable. Silvia, who is more down to earth, is infuriated by Melinda's newly haughty behaviour. Sylvia leaves her father's house to mourn her brother Owen's death. She tells her father Balance that she is going to the Welsh countryside but in fact goes into Shrewsbury dressed as a man, under the name 'Jack Wilful'. There Brazen and Plume compete to recruit 'Wilful', unaware of 'his' real identity. Kite abducts 'him' for Plume while Plume duels with Brazen. Still disguised as Wilful, Sylvia goes on to spend the night in bed with Rose, a local wench previously courted by Plume to get Rose's brother Bullock to join up. An action is brought against 'Wilful' for sexually assaulting Rose and 'he' finds 'himself' on trial before Sylvia's father Balance and his two fellow magistrates Scruple and Scale. The three magistrates also look into Kite's dubious recruiting practices but finally acquit him and force Wilful to swear to the Articles of War. Meanwhile Melinda continues to discourage Worthy, until going to a fortune teller (in fact Kite in disguise), where she is convinced to relent and accept his courtship. She is also tricked by being given a sample of her handwriting by the 'fortune teller', who takes it from a 'devil' he has conjured up under the table (in fact Plume). Kite is then visited by Brazen, who gives him a love letter from, as he thinks, Melinda. However, by comparing the handwriting sample, Worthy discovers that the letter is in fact from Melinda's maid Lucy, who hopes to ensnare Brazen as a husband. Worthy then goes to visit Melinda but, on going to tell Plume the good news, finds out that Melinda seems to be eloping with Brazen after all. Worthy intercepts Brazen and a disguised woman he takes this to be Melinda, and challenges Brazen to a duel. The duel is prevented when the woman drops her disguise and reveals herself to be Lucy. Sylvia also drops her disguise. Plume agrees to leave the army and marry her, Melinda relents towards Worthy and agrees to marry him, and Plume transfers his twenty recruits to Brazen to compensate him for the loss of a rich marriage with Melinda. Question: What does Plume give to Brazen to compensate from missing out on wedding Melinda? Answer:

Plume gives Brazen twenty of his recruits.

Add dazzling period costumes and a mysterious murder and the battle lines are drawn for the clash of the TV period dramas this Christmas. Downton Abbey’s two-hour festive special is sure to attract millions of viewers to ITV.

The sequel picks up the story when Darcy and Lizzie have been married for six years. Now parents to two young sons, they are preparing for the annual ball at their palatial Pemberley home when the unannounced arrival of Lydia Wickham, Elizabeth’s wayward sister, brings an shocking halt to proceedings.

Los Angeles (CNN) -- A federal judge ruled Tuesday that there is enough evidence that former reality TV producer Bruce Beresford-Redman murdered his wife at a Cancun resort to justify his return to Mexico to face trial. Beresford-Redman, once a producer on TV's "Survivor," will appeal the extradition order to a higher court, which could keep him in the United States for another year, his defense lawyers said. Mexican prosecutors charged Beresford-Redman last year with the aggravated murder of Monica Burgos Beresford-Redman while the couple and their two young children vacationed at a resort. The defense withdrew its request to have the 6-year-old daughter take the stand at Tuesday's extradition hearing because of "some concerns about her ability to testify today," lawyer Vicki Podberesky said. The situation was "very upsetting" to the child, she said. Instead, the judge allowed the defense to use a sworn statement from the child's counselor that quoted her saying she never saw her parents argue of fight during the vacation. The child's statements to her therapist were also used to explain how her father got some cuts and scrapes on his body that investigators said indicated he was in a struggle with his wife. Beresford-Redman, who has been in jail in Los Angeles since November, has been allowed to visit with his children each week, his lawyer said. He will apparently attend a probate court hearing this week in a Los Angeles County courthouse across the street from federal court. The federal judge approved the request that he testify before the judge considering the permanent custody of his children and the control of his estate.. Mexican prosecutors contend that Beresford-Redman killed his wife by asphyxiating her in their room at the Moon Palace Resort on April 5, 2010. Beresford-Redman's lawyers accuse Mexican investigators of rushing to judgment in charging the husband because they wanted to protect Cancun's valuable tourist industry. The case is "replete with inconsistencies and unsupported innuendos," attorney Richard Hirsch said. The Cancun trip was intended to help the couple work out their marital problems caused by the producer's affair with another woman, his lawyers said. But prosecutors contend it was murder, not reconciliation, on Beresford-Redman's mind. "The fugitive's continued infidelity provides a strong motive for him to have committed the crime," U.S. prosecutors wrote in an extradition filing. "The fugitive's affair was still an issue with the couple during their trip." The fact that he brought their young son and daughter along supports his innocence, Hirsch said. "How absurd it is to think that our client, or anyone, would book a trip to Mexico with his two minor children, have a room in which all of them, the whole family, is staying together, and have this with some motive to commit a homicide," Hirsch said. "It makes no sense in logic, whatsoever." Prosecution documents describe a loud argument ending with a violent death in the same one-room hotel suite where the children were staying. While investigators have not talked to the children, a therapist who has helped them deal with the loss of their mother did question the daughter about her memories of the Mexico trip, Hirsch said. An affidavit signed by the therapist said the girl told her she never heard her parents argue in Mexico and that she was never left alone at the resort. "Mommy and Daddy did not yell at each other and never hit each other," the statement quotes the daughter saying. "Mommy and Daddy never hit each other anywhere, anytime." Summarize this article.

Passage: Holmes and Dr. Watson find themselves in Cornwall one spring for the former’s health, but the holiday ends with a bizarre event. Mr. Mortimer Tregennis, a local gentleman, and Mr. Roundhay, the local vicar, come to Holmes to report that Tregennis’s two brothers have gone insane, and his sister has died. Tregennis had gone to visit them in their village (Tredannick Wollas), played whist with them, and then left. When he came back in the morning, he found them still sitting in their places at the table, the brothers, George and Owen, laughing and singing, and the sister, Brenda, dead. The housekeeper had discovered them in this state, and fainted. The vicar has not been to see them yet. Tregennis says that he remembers one brother looking through the window, and then he himself turned to see some "movement" outside. He declares that the horrific event is the work of the devil. Mortimer Tregennis was once estranged from his siblings by the matter of dividing the proceeds from the sale of the family business, but he insists that all was forgiven, although he still lives apart from them. The doctor who was summoned, reckoned that she had been dead for six hours. He also collapsed into a chair for a while after arriving. Holmes goes to the house in question and, apparently carelessly, kicks over a watering pot, soaking everyone’s feet. The housekeeper tells Holmes that she heard nothing in the night, and that the family had been particularly happy and prosperous lately. Holmes observes the remains of a fire in the fireplace. Tregennis explains that it was a cold, damp night. Question: What does Holmes kick over in the house? Answer:

By . Associated Press . The Supreme Court today struck down a 35-foot protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts. The justices were unanimous in ruling that extending a buffer zone 35 feet from clinic entrances violates the First Amendment rights of protesters. Chief Justice John Roberts said authorities have less intrusive ways to deal with problems outside the clinics and noted that most of the problems reported by police and the clinics occurred outside the Planned Parenthood facility in Boston, and only on Saturdays when the largest crowds typically gather. Scroll down for video . Anti-abortion protester Eleanor McCullen, of Boston, left, standing at the painted edge of a buffer zone as she protests outside a Planned Parenthood location in Boston last December. In a ruling today, the Supreme Court struck down a 35-foot protest-free zone outside abortion clinics in Massachusetts saying it violates First Amendment rights of protesters . 'For a problem shown to arise only once a week in one city at one clinic, creating 35-foot buffer zones at every clinic across the Commonwealth is hardly a narrowly-tailored solution,' Roberts said. While the court was unanimous in the outcome, Roberts joined with the four liberal justices to strike down the buffer zone on narrow grounds. In a separate opinion, . Justice Antonin Scalia criticized Roberts' opinion for carrying forward 'this court's practice of giving abortion-rights advocates a pass when it comes to suppressing the free-speech rights of their opponents'. The case began when Boston-area grandmother Eleanor McCullen and other abortion opponents sued over the limits on their activities at Planned Parenthood health centers in Boston, Springfield and Worcester. 'The government cannot reserve . its public sidewalks for Planned Parenthood, as if their message is the . only one women should be allowed to hear.' At the latter two sites, the protesters say they have little chance of reaching patients arriving by car because they must stay 35 feet from the entrance to those buildings' parking lots. Planned Parenthood provides health exams for women, cancer screenings, tests for sexually transmitted diseases, birth control and abortions at its clinics. The organization said that the buffer zone has significantly reduced the harassment of patients and clinic employees. Before the 35-foot zone went into effect in 2007, protesters could stand next to the entrances and force patients to squeeze by, Planned Parenthood said. Before 2007, a floating buffer zone kept protesters from approaching unwilling listeners any closer than 6 feet if they were within 18 feet of the clinic. The floating zone was modeled after a . Colorado law that the Supreme Court upheld. That decision was not called . into question in Thursday's ruling. Clinic officials said they are most concerned about safety because of past incidents of violence.

Passage: Marius, a sensitive only child of a patrician family, growing up near Luna in rural Etruria, is impressed by the traditions and rituals of the ancestral religion of the Lares, by his natural surroundings, and by a boyhood visit to a sanctuary of Aesculapius. His childhood ends with the death of his mother (he had early lost his father) and with his departure for boarding school in Pisae. As a youth he is befriended by and falls under the influence of a brilliant, hedonistic older boy, Flavianus, who awakens in him a love of literature (the two read with delight the story of Cupid and Psyche in Apuleius, and Pater in due course makes Flavian, who is "an ardent student of words, of the literary art", the author of the Pervigilium Veneris). Flavian falls ill during the Festival of Isis and Marius tends him during his long death-agony (end of 'Part the First'). Grown to manhood, Marius now embraces the philosophy of the 'flux' of Heraclitus and the Epicureanism (or Cyrenaicism) of Aristippus. He journeys to Rome (166 AD), encountering by chance on the way a blithesome young knight, Cornelius, who becomes a friend. Marius explores Rome in awe, and, "as a youth of great attainments in Greek letters and philosophy", is appointed amanuensis to the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. Aurelius's Meditations on Stoicism and on Plato, and the public lectures of the rhetorician Fronto, open Marius' eyes to the narrowness of Epicureanism. Aurelius's indifference, however, to the cruelty to animals in the amphitheatre, and later to the torments inflicted on people there, causes Marius to question the values of Stoicism (end of 'Part the Second'). Disillusioned with Rome and the imperial court which seem "like some stifling forest of bronze-work, transformed as if by malign enchantment out of the living trees", puzzled by the source of Cornelius's serenity, still Epicurean by temperament but seeking a more satisfying life-philosophy, Marius makes repeated visits alone to the Campagna and Alban Hills, on one occasion experiencing in the Sabine Hills a sort of spiritual "epiphany" on a perfect day of peace and beauty (end of 'Part the Third'). Later he is taken by Cornelius to a household in the Campagna centred on a charismatic young widow, Cecilia, where prevails an atmosphere of peace and love, gradually revealing itself as a new religion with liturgy and rituals that appeal aesthetically and emotionally to Marius. The sense of purposeful community there, set against the persecution of Christians by the authorities and the competing philosophical systems in Rome, contributes to Marius' mood of isolation and emotional failure. Overshadowed by thoughts of mortality he revisits home and pays his respects to the family dead, burying their funerary urns, and sets out again for Rome in Cornelius's company. On the way the two are arrested as part of a sweep of suspected Christians. It emerges that only one of the young men is of this sect, and Marius, unbeknown to Cornelius, makes their captors believe it is he. Cornelius is set free, deceived into thinking that Marius will follow shortly. The latter endures hardship and exhaustion as he journeys captive towards Rome, falls ill, and dying is abandoned by his captors. "Had there been one to listen just then," Pater comments, "there would have come, from the very depth of his desolation, an eloquent utterance at last, on the irony of men's fates, on the singular accidents of life and death." Marius is tended in his last days by some poor country people, secret believers who take him to be one of their own. Though he has shown little interest in the doctrines of the new faith and dies more or less in ignorance of them, he is nevertheless, Pater implies, "a soul naturally Christian" (anima naturaliter christiana ) and he finds peace in his final hours as he reviews his life: "He would try to fix his mind on all the persons he had loved in life, dead or living, grateful for his love or not. In the bare sense of having loved he seemed to find that on which his soul might 'assuredly rest and depend'. ... And again, as of old, the sense of gratitude seemed to bring with it the sense also of a living person at his side" (end of 'Part the Fourth'). Question: Where does Marius experience a spiritual epiphany? Answer:

The Sabine Hills.

Passage: Shann Lantee is lucky to be alive. He had snuck out of the small Terran base on the planet Warlock in the Circe system to find two artificially evolved wolverines, Taggi and his mate Togi, and bring them back to the base before anyone notices that they are missing. While he is gone a force of Throgs, implacably hostile insectoid aliens, attacks the base and kills all of its occupants. Shann moves across country with the wolverines and sees a downed scoutship explode and destroy a Throg flying disc. A wounded Throg confronts Shann, but a well-aimed rock kills it. Shann’s rescuer is Ragnar Thorvald, who survived the crash of the scoutship and turned it into a booby trap. Together the two men leave the scene and begin living off the land in a way that implies a native people, not Terrans. Days later they make a night raid on the base, now occupied by Throgs, and they and the wolverines barely escape. On a raft they head for the distant sea, where they expect to find refuge. After evading a Throg search party, they reach their goal. Thorvald displays a coin-like disc that suddenly turns him into a zombie. Shann knocks the disc away and Thorvald comes back to himself. Now he knows whither they should go. The men build an outrigger canoe and they and the wolverines go to an island, where Thorvald strands the other three. Shann seeks to escape from the island, to return to the mainland with the wolverines. But he finds that he sabotages his own work, apparently under the control of another being. He sets a trap and soon finds a small dragon-like humanoid caught in it. The creature can communicate with him and control him telepathically and she takes him to a cavern to meet three other Warlockians, who want to find out who and what he is. In a fog-filled cavern Shall must confront old memories somehow made physically real as long as he believes in them. He has to remain focused on what is true in order to survive. During the ordeal he reunites with Thorvald, who refers to the natives as Wyverns. Together the two men escape from the cavern and Shann saves a young Wyvern from a sea monster. Now the Wyverns give Shann a mission. He must extract a Throg from a cave in which it has taken refuge. Shann manages to get the Throg out but is captured by the team sent to pick it up. The Throgs take Shann back to the Terran base and compel him to call the colonization ship that is coming, to lure it down so that the Throgs can kill the passengers and crew. Shann manages to warn the ship and to draw a Patrol cruiser to the base, dooming the Throgs. Before the Throgs can begin torturing Shann to death, Thorvald and the Wyverns envelop them in a fog that realizes their worst fears and kills them. After his wounds have healed Shann discovers that he and Thorvald are to form the core of an embassy established on Warlock to maintain contact with the Wyverns. Question: Who became Shann's rescuer? Answer:

Ragnar Thorvald
