U.N. Charts High Jobless Rate in Gaza
JERUSALEM — A report issued Tuesday shows unemployment in Gaza standing at 45.2 percent for the second half of 2010, one of the highest rates in the world, even though Israel eased its blockade of the Palestinian coastal strip in that period.
Most new jobs in Gaza are in the public sector. Palestinians worked in April at a cement recycling factory in Jebaliya.
The report, by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, which aids registered Palestinian refugees and their descendants, shows the jobless rate up over the first half of the year, with a loss of some 8,000 jobs.
But it also compared the second half of 2010 with the same period in 2009, a common approach for economies where many jobs are seasonal. That number shows that unemployment fell 1.09 percent, a figure more in keeping with other international analyses of the Gazan economy.
One of the goals of Israel’s economic embargo on Gaza, which began four years ago, was to weaken Hamas and its grip on Gaza. But most of the new jobs last year were accounted for by the public sector, meaning the Hamas government; there was only a slight increase in private commerce.
Christopher Gunness, a spokesman for the United Nations agency, said, “The hope was for a growth in the private sector, but exports are at a standstill.”
“Hamas has been able to increase public employment by at least one-fifth,” Mr. Gunness said. “The policy of weakening Hamas seems to have failed, but the policy has been highly successful at punishing the people of Gaza.”
He said that the number of Gazans coming to the agency because of special hardship, defined as earnings of $1.60 a day or less, had increased to 300,000 from 100,000 in the past four years. “The very poorest of the poor are the hardest hit,” Mr. Gunness said.
The biggest source of regular income in Gaza is the Palestinian Authority, which is based in the West Bank and dominated by Fatah, the movement that is rival to Hamas. The Authority pays some 65,000 people not to work to protest Hamas’s violent ouster of Fatah from Gaza in 2007, after Hamas won parliamentary elections the year before.
Hamas is the next largest source of jobs, and it is growing the fastest, with some 25,000 people on its payroll.
Recent reports by the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank have generally shown Gaza’s economy to be growing. The data put out by the United Nations agency show 2008 to have had higher unemployment than the full year of 2010 — 44.9 percent versus 43.6 percent.
Israeli officials said that the report seemed intended to paint as bleak a picture as possible. They also criticized the use of the so-called broad employment figures, which include the underemployed and those who have stopped looking for work — over the more commonly used number of those recently looking for work. The narrower number for Gaza unemployment in 2010, according to the Palestine Central Bureau of Statistics, is 37.8 percent.

Summarize the following:
To do this, you need to write down the measurements of the deep end and the shallow end of the pool and divide the result by two. Let's say the shallow end of the pool measures 3 feet and the deep end measures 8 feet. (3 + 8)/2 = 5.5. The average depth of the pool is 5.5 feet. Now, just take this number and multiply it by the length and width of the pool. You're really just multiplying the area of the bottom of the pool by its depth. Let's say that the width of the pool is 20 feet and the length is 40 feet. So, 5.5 x 40 x 20 = 4,400 cubic feet. To convert the answer to gallons, simply multiply the answer by 7.48. 4,400 x 7.48 = 32, 912 gallons of water. You're all done.
summary: Find the average depth of the pool. Multiply the result by the length and width of the pool. Convert the answer to gallons.

If your cars are still operating in traffic, signal remorse by waving or mouthing “I’m sorry.” It is possible that you did nothing wrong, but your priority should be to deescalate the situation rather than sort out blame accurately. Apologize. If you are stopped and the driver approaches you, acknowledge you were wrong. Do this even if their anger is disproportionate, or if you do not think you were wrong. This is hard to do, but letting them "win" could quickly bring further problems to a short end. Your main goal should be to stay safe, rather than to win an argument. Avoid inflammatory statements, and allow the driver to feel like they have gotten what they wanted. Give up a parking space even if you were there first, let the other driver merge into your lane even if it isn’t their turn, give more breathing room between your cars, or leave the fast lane even if you are driving at the correct speed. Ignore insults. The enraged driver may insult you. Remember that they are angry and that their insults do not truly apply to you. Do not reciprocate when insulted. Calmly but assertively state that a neutral authority should resolve the conflict. In some cases, you may be just as angry as the other driver. Before you engage in direct confrontation, take basic steps to calm your own nerves. Breathe deeply, counting each time you inhale to ten. Remind yourself of who you are beyond the stressful moment. Think about how your family, friends, or coworkers expect you to act. Think about something that you are looking forward to. Look past the unpleasant moment and remember that it will be over soon. After the incident, when you've calmed down, reexamine the events that took place. Determine if you did anything wrong or if a specific action may have helped cause the other driver’s anger. Now that you are safe, it doesn't matter who was at fault. Simply determine if there is something that you can do differently next time to avoid triggering other motorist’s rage.
summary: Show remorse. Let the other driver win. Calm yourself. Analyze your driving.
Summarize the following:
Before bringing your new pet home you need to decide if you intend the bunny to be a house rabbit or live outdoors in a run in the yard. House rabbits are popular pets but there are a few factors to consider. While you will have to do more cleaning and training for a rabbit that lives indoors with you, you will not have as much social contact with a rabbit that lives outside. If you decide to keep your rabbit inside, you will need to rabbit-proof your house. Rabbits chew anything and everything, including electrical cables and the legs of your antique furniture. Make sure you are able to 'rabbit proof' your home so that cables are all tidied away out of reach of the rabbit, and there is no item that you would be upset if it got damaged by gnawing. If you decide to keep your rabbit inside you will also need to litter box train it. It is not hygienic to have the rabbit ranging around the house, pooping and peeing wherever they please. The solution is to litter train the rabbit to use a litter box. However, most rabbits poop mostly in one particular spot, so you can use this to your advantage by placing a litter tray in whichever spot they usually poop. If you have a male rabbit who is spraying urine everywhere, you may need to get him desexed. If you decide to keep your rabbit outside you will need to commit to spending time socializing it every day. Make it a part of your schedule, otherwise the rabbit may become anxious and fearful in your company. The hutch (or rabbit house) should be at least 2 feet (0.61 m) wide and 4 feet long, and tall enough to let the rabbit stand up to its full height. The bottom of the cage should not be made of wire, but the sides can be. Outdoor hutches are most commonly made of wood with a door fitted at the front made of chicken wire. This allows for good ventilation and for the rabbit to see out. The wood offers a degree of thermal protection to insulate the rabbit from the elements, and is sturdy, protecting the rabbit from predators. An outdoor hutch will need to have a run attached to it, so that your rabbit can exercise. The run should be a minimum of 4 feet (1.2 m) by 8 ft by 2ft tall, for a rabbit under 2kg. Many indoor hutches are made of plastic with a wire roof. This has the advantage of being lightweight, so you can move it around the house easily. If you can't find a hutch you like, make your own! It isn't as simple as buying one, but it can be much better for your rabbit. You must provide bedding that is soft, warm and absorbent. Cover the entire base to a minimum depth of 3–4 inches (7.6–10 cm). This cushions the backs of the rabbit's hind legs, which are prone to pressure sores if not enough padding is provided. Commonly used substrates for bedding include wood chips, hay, or straw. Of these, straw is the warmest and softest and makes the best bedding material, hay is second best (and is more expensive than straw), and sawdust it third best. You will need to litter train your rabbit if you are keeping it inside. The litter tray will need to fit inside the hutch and not take up more than a third of the floor space.
|
summary: Decide whether your rabbit will live inside or outside. Get a rabbit hutch. Cover the bottom of the hutch with bedding. Get a litter tray.

Problem: (CNN) -- An Indiana man missing for 18 years after his mother abducted him and her two other children to Mexico was reunited with his father after the son went to a U.S. consulate and declared he wanted to go home at age 23, authorities said. Nathan Slinkard's mother, Trena, lost custody of her three children following a divorce from husband Steven, and then she and the small children disappeared in October 1995, said Lt. Ted Munden of the Hancock County Sheriff's Department. Nathan Slinkard and his father weren't available for comment and asked for privacy as the son now stays in his father's home in Greenfield, about a 25-mile drive east of downtown Indianapolis, Munden said.

Ethnic Uyghur women grab the arm of a policeman as they protest in Urumqi on July 7. The crowd of 200 to 300 -- mostly women and elderly -- quickly formed as local authorities were taking members of the media on a tour of a neighborhood that was heavily damaged during riots over the weekend, witnesses said.

Reportage down to a fine art
Last week, Jim Goldberg deservedly won the Deutsche Börse photography prize for his ongoing series, Open See, which merges photojournalism with art photography. The following day, David Goldblatt won the Kraszna-Krausz best photography book award for TJ: Johannesburg Photographs 1948-2010/Double Negative: A Novel.
Or more precisely, David Goldblatt and Ivan Vladislavic won the award, given that the book is actually two books, one photographic and the other fictional. Both prizes shed some light on the way documentary photographers are responding to a world in which straight reportage sometimes seems too cut and dried, too old-fashioned.
When extracts from Open See were shown at the Photographers' Gallery in London in 2009, Goldberg described himself to me as "a documentary storyteller". His work is intentionally impressionistic, comprising of his photographs, Polaroids and video stills of displaced people – refugees, asylum seekers, illegal immigrants – as well as found images, ephemera and hand-written text, either by Goldberg himself or by his subjects. Sometimes the written words are affecting – the odd, punning title comes from one man's mis-written phrase "in the open see there is no border". Often, they are shocking – one woman, a victim of sex traffickers, writes simply and brutally: "I am a whore."
The text lends the photographs a distinct artiness: an outstretched hand outlined in gold alongside the words "They Always Welcome Me". No irony is intended here, at least not intentionally. Alongside these written-over portraits, Goldberg juxtaposes often-blurred street scenes and intimate interiors, both of which hint at the uncertain, fragile lives of the displaced.
Goldberg is one of the few photographers who straddles the worlds of fine art and photojournalism, which has led some commentators to question his merging of artiness and documentary. His photographs often recall other photographs: Robert Frank's scratched and written-over images from his great book, The Lines of My Hand, or even Duane Michals's more playful juxtapositions of text and image.
While Goldberg deftly sidesteps the issues that dog more straight reportage – the subject as victim or spectacle, say – for a more tentatively collaborative approach, the fragmentary nature of the work has been called into question because its narrative line is not altogether clear. If Goldberg is a storyteller, he is an oblique one, wary of the obvious and overstated. His work is driven not just by a desire to bear witness, but to constantly question how we – the photographer and the viewer – see images of suffering.
David Goldblatt, who is over 20 years older than Goldberg and started photographing in 1948, is most well known for bearing witness to the iniquities of the apartheid system in South Africa. (There is a small but powerful exhibition of his apartheid-era photographs currently on display at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London). His book, South Africa: The Structure of Things, published in 1998, is an ambitious work that traces the development of apartheid, and the power structures that kept it in place, through photographs.
For TJ: Johannesburg Photographs 1948-2010/Double Negative: A Novel, Goldblatt collaborated with the South African short story writer and novelist Ivan Vladislavic. The result is a two-volume book in which the writer responds to the photographer's work by creating a fictional narrative about life in Johannesburg, and about a character who is intrigued by photography, its possibilities and its fraught complexities.
It is a novel, then, that is also a meditation on photography in general and on Goldblatt's photographs of Johannesburg in particular, how they reflect the city's energies and the lives of its people. Photography and fiction have come together before – Steve Pyke and Timothy O'Grady's book, I Could Read the Sky springs to mind, but in that instance, the photographs were an evocative accompaniment to the text. Likewise, though more explicitly, the grainy shots that punctuate Michael Ondaatje's novel, The Collected Works of Billy the Kid. As far as I know, this is the first novel that responds to a historical body of photographic work, and, as such, the first work of fiction – or meta-fiction – that doubles as a work of photography criticism.
Both Goldberg's Open See, which is published as a bound package of one thick and three thin volumes, and Goldblatt's twin-volume collaboration with Vladislavic, break with the tradition of straight documentary photography, though in radically different ways. They both deserve your attention, not least because they each ask a question that echoes through photography's complex history of representation. That question was best put by Paul Graham, another restlessly inventive photographer, when I interviewed him a few weeks ago: "How is this world? And, what are the new ways to find out?"
The new issue of Photoworks magazine is a timely themed issue about photography and protest. It includes work by Immo Klink, whose series Crowd Control features extraordinary night photography of British riot police at work, as well as Stuart Griffiths's intriguing archive of grainy fly-on-the-wall images from his time with the paras in Northern Ireland.
Summary: Jim Goldberg's Open See series and David Goldblatt's Johannesburg tale are modern meditations on documentary photography that reject traditional reportage as too cut and dried, writes Sean O'Hagan
Army opens grueling Ranger job to women
The Army will allow as many as 60 women to participate in the next Ranger course, allowing women for the first time to compete in the grueling two-month combat school. It is considered one of the first steps into the military special operations field.
Army Secretary John McHugh approved the change that would allow women in the course beginning in late April.
While completing the leadership course would let women wear the coveted Ranger tab, it does not let them become members of the Ranger regiment. Currently only men can be in the 75th Ranger Regiment -- the special operations forces unit based at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Joining the regiment requires additional schooling that is physically, emotionally and mentally challenging.
Women and men preparing for the Ranger course will be able to participate in a 16-day training and assessment school that would train women on some of the infantry and combat skills that they would not already have.
By January 2016, the military must open all combat jobs to women or explain why any must remain closed.
The Pentagon lifted its ban on women in combat jobs in 2012, but gave the military services time to gradually and systematically integrate women into the male-only front-line positions.
Special operations jobs are some of the last to be addressed, as commanders review the qualifications needed and assess the impact of bringing women in.
Military leaders have made it clear that they will not reduce standards for any jobs in order to let women in.
Summary:
|
The Army will allow as many as 60 women to participate in the next Ranger course, allowing women for the first time to compete in the grueling two-month combat school.

If the past 25 years are anything to go by, Germany has proven its firm position as the world's economic powerhouse. Since the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the county thrust forward, developing a world-class car manufacturing industry and a network of small-to-medium size businesses which represent the backbone of the country's economy. It has weathered tough times too, famously branded the "sick man of Europe" by The Economist magazine in 2004. However, today the country ranks as the world's fourth largest economy, with one of the lowest unemployment rates, and one of the highest literacy rates in the world.

Problem: By. Neil Sears. PUBLISHED:. 12:00 EST, 27 December 2012. |. UPDATED:. 20:48 EST, 27 December 2012. Vladimir Putin enjoys posing bare-chested on horseback and with hunting rifles to perpetuate his macho image. In Britain, however, our leader has shown his Russian counterpart how a real action man does it. This was David Cameron yesterday as he got a full soaking during a race along a swollen icy stream in the Cotswolds. The Prime Minister sported a support bandage on his right knee as he took part in the fund-raising competition close to his constituency home in Witney, Oxfordshire. Anything you can do Mr Putin... David Cameron braved muddy conditions and cold water in the Chadlington Brook Run. Feat: David Cameron took part in the Great Brook Run on Thursday afternoon. Tough: The Prime Minister was forced to climb through a low tunnel as part of the annual race. Success: Mr Cameron posed with his wife Samantha after receiving a medal for completing the race. The Great Brook Run requires. competitors to cover a course just over a mile long, and this year. involved considerably more water than usual thanks to recent heavy rain. The stream close to the village of. Chadlington, known as the Great Brook, was raging so much this year that. children normally allowed to compete were barred from wading through. some sections. Cut: The Prime Minister's knee support did not stop him sustaining a nasty-looking graze on his shin. Ready to go: Mr Cameron rubbed his hands in anticipation at the start line of the race. Victory! The exhausted politician was still happy to pose for photographs at the end of the race. Support: Well-wishers cheered on the Prime Minister as they took pictures of his exploits. Hilarity: The fun race is intended as a charity fund-raiser and ends at a local pub. Mr Cameron, however, was able to secure plenty of. photographs of himself taming the torrent. The Prime Minister finished 46th out. of a field of 109 (a few places behind a man dressed as Father. Christmas) with a time of 18 minutes, 23 seconds. He was greeted by wife Samantha at the. end of the run at the Tite Inn. After asking his wife if she had any. money he announced he was planning to have a burger to celebrate. At the end of the race, Mr Cameron was presented with the medal that is given to all competitors. The Great Brook Run, which was first held in 2006, starts and ends at the Tite Inn in Chadlington and aims to raise funds for local good causes. This year, the £5 entry fee was donated to the Chadlington Memorial Hall. Mr Cameron may have been the most famous competitor in this year's race, but he was not the only well-known runner - Olympic medallist hockey player Beth Storry was also invited to run in the race. Joining in: This is the third time Mr Cameron has taken part in the Great Brook Run. Evasive action: The race may not be very long, but runners must brave a cold and muddy stream. Laid-back: He may be the most powerful man in the country, but Mr Cameron sported casual lycra and a pair of shorts nonetheless. Tired out: The Prime Minister relaxed with a fellow competitor after reaching the finishing line. Ice cold: Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin swims in a cold lake during a vacation in southern Siberia.

One of the country’s biggest rail terminals will be ‘effectively closed’ today because of over-running engineering works. There will be no trains in or out of King’s Cross in London due to delays to Network Rail works north of the station. The disruption comes on one of the busiest travel days of the year, as thousands of people try to return home after visiting family for Christmas. Scroll down for video. Services in and out of London Kings Cross station have been cancelled today, it has been announced. Frustration: Travellers at the London station, one of the busiest in the country, where services are cancelled. The disruptions at the station, which is managed by Network Rail, will affect those planning to travel on East Coast, First Hull Trains, Grand Central and Great Northern services. East Coast Trains made the announcement on its website yesterday evening, where it advised passengers to delay their travel if possible. It also said that a revised timetable is currently being developed and will be made available as soon as possible. Customers have been advised they need to start or finish their journey at Finsbury Park in north London, with at least one change of train because of the overrun works in the Holloway area. A reduced service to and from the station will go ahead as planned on Sunday, with trains leaving up to 20 minutes earlier than normal from King's Cross. Last night Passenger Focus, the independent watchdog, described the delays as ‘frustrating’. East Coast made the announcement on their website and apologised for disruption on what is 'an already very busy travel day immediately following the Christmas break' They follow years of complaints from passengers that Britain’s railways effectively ‘shut down’ over the Christmas and New Year holiday. The chaos is heightened by the fact that the West Coast Main Line is already closed for engineering works over the Christmas period. The route is shut between London Euston and Hemel Hempstead in Hertfordshire until Monday, and also closed between Stafford and Crewe until Sunday. Last night travellers vented their frustration with the King’s Cross closure on social media, saying Network Rail had ‘explaining to do’. The station is the southern terminus of the East Coast Main Line, which provides services to major cities including Leeds, Newcastle and Edinburgh. East Coast spokesman, Paul Emberley, said: 'Network Rail has apologised to passengers for the inevitable delays to their travel plans on Saturday as a result of the overrunning engineering works. 'East Coast is particularly sorry too for the inconvenience to its customers as a result, on what we know is an already very busy travel day immediately following the Christmas break. Sources said that the station would effectively be closed due to delays to works north of the station. 'For customers intending to start or finish their journey at King's Cross, consideration should be given to deferring travel plans to either Sunday or Monday. 'We're working hard over the holiday period to make the necessary adjustments to our timetable as a consequence, and to provide as much information as we can.' National Rail said on its website that services to and from King's Cross would be 'significantly disrupted' tomorrow. It said there will be no trains before 10am tomorrow and over the weekend, many trains will start or terminate at Doncaster, Peterborough, Stevenage or Finsbury Park. Meanwhile, First Hull Trains will run two trains in each direction each day to and from London St Pancras International instead of London Kings Cross. Great Northern are diverting some trains to and from Moorgate between 8.30am and 7.30pm. It said: 'A revised timetable is currently being developed and will be made available as soon as possible. Please check our website regularly for updates. 'Passengers travelling to and from central London may use London Underground services between Finsbury Park and central London. Customers will need to start or finish their journey at Finsbury Park in north London, with at least one change of train, according to East Coast Trains. 'Buses will run between London Kings Cross and Finsbury Park when there is no train or London Underground service.' The rail company said that the work was part of a £200 million Christmas investment programme. It is one of 300 projects being undertaken over the holidays across 2,000 sites up and down the country by some 11,000 railway engineers. A spokesman said: 'What has happened is really regrettable and unfortunate, but it is a small part of a massive amount of engineering investment taking place over Christmas.' The spokesman added that 4.5 million passengers use the railways on average every day, compared with two million a day over the holidays. The company confirmed the disruption at around 8.30pm on its Twitter page - hours after it was first announced by East Coast Trains, which said: 'No service between Kings Cross & Finsbury Park tom due to track work in the Holloway area which has taken longer then expected. Apologies.' Hundreds were forced to take to the roads yesterday after rail services were virtually non-existent today. A reduced service will also operate to and from the terminal on Sunday as planned, with journeys possibly being re-timed or taking longer than expected, according to Network Rail. David Sidebottom, passenger director at the independent watchdog Passenger Focus, said: 'Investment in maintenance and improvement is necessary, and we passengers understand that. 'But overrunning works that disrupt already-limited festive travel are frustrating. 'Our research is clear: passengers want to be kept on the train wherever possible, they want to know before buying a ticket if part of the journey will be by bus, and they want plenty of staff on hand to signpost where to go and what to do. 'We will be looking to see that operators and Network Rail are doing all in their power to alert passengers, to help them make alternative arrangements and to make it easy for them to claim refunds or compensation.' Several frustrated passengers have taken to Twitter to vent their anger. Liam Gladdy said: 'Something must have gone very, very wrong for @networkrail at Kings Cross if they're looking at overrunning by 2 days for 2 days work.' While Amelie Soleil wrote: 'Ahhh what's that? All trains are cancelled coming though Kings Cross tomorrow. Brilliant. Nice to see that £200 train ticket was worth it.' Emily Clifton said: 'Trains all cancelled from King's Cross tomorrow literally what am i supposed to do,' while another user said 'The UK are so unprepared. Today it's just like 'Oh, by the way, we're closing King's Cross for a few days.' It comes after a day of travel disruption on the railways as every single major artery in Britain was closed on Boxing Day. Trains between England and Scotland or Wales on the East Coast, West Coast or Great Western mainlines - and the Midland, Cross Country and East Anglia lines remained shut yesterday. The near-non-existent Boxing Day service has returned this year despite a fierce political battle over the shutdown dating back to at least 2007. Labour and Tories have repeatedly traded accusations over the lack of service, which affects football fans, families without cars and shop workers in the Boxing Day sales. Apart from airport shuttles and Eurostar, only Chiltern, Scotrail, Southeastern and Southern ran trains yesterday. A Department for Transport spokesman said: ‘Network Rail and train companies have ensured that a large part of the railway will remain open during the Christmas/New Year period and alternative routes are provided where lines are closed.’

My boyfriend killed himself because his family couldn’t accept that he was gay
In the spring of last year, Matthew Ogston and Nazim Mahmood moved into their dream home. The apartment, on the top floor of a mansion block in north-west London, offered stunning panoramic views of London. Nazim was a doctor who ran three London clinics, Matthew a web designer.
The life Nazim enjoyed seemed a world away from the working-class traditional Muslim community in which he had been raised. It was that world – conservative and closed – that he had left behind for a new life. In their first week in the flat, the two men stood on the balcony as London glittered in front of them. Matthew looked at Nazim and said, “Darling, I think we’ve finally made it.” They both smiled. Four months later, Nazim jumped off the edge of that same balcony to his death. He was 34.
Nazim was 21 when he met Matthew in November 2001. Matthew was at a gay nightclub in Birmingham, when Nazim approached with the words, “Excuse me, may I sit here?” Something about Nazim’s shy demeanour appealed to Matthew. They started talking. “There was an instant connection,” he recalls.
We are in the living room of the apartment. It is more than seven months since Nazim’s death but the condolence cards are still on display. This is the first time Matthew has agreed to talk openly, and during the hours we talk, words tumble and tears flow. It was only minutes after first meeting him that Nazim had said to Matthew: “I’m a Muslim, is that going to be a problem?”
The two were soon inseparable. Matthew was working as a web designer and Nazim was a medical student. Their families did not know they were gay. After a year they bought a house. It had two bedrooms so their families might assume they were just housemates. “We used to have to keep the window blinds in our front room closed so no one would see us,” says Matthew. “When we walked down the street we made sure there was some distance between us just in case a family member of his spotted us together.”
They grew tired of looking over their shoulders and wanted to stop hiding, so when Nazim was offered a job at a London hospital in 2004 they seized the opportunity to move to the capital. They would be far from their families, in a city where they knew no one and could fashion a new life together. “In London we felt free,” Matthew says. “We didn’t have to worry about bumping into our parents.”
They made friends and created a social world that reflected the people they were. Of necessity, this new life was founded on sadness and deceptions. Nazim was leading a double life: his family had barely met Matthew and thought he was merely an investor in their son’s flat. On the rare occasions they visited London, Matthew had to spend the night in a bed and breakfast. “We had to ‘de-gay’ the house,” says Matthew. “That meant putting pictures of Kylie into the cupboard, Cher too – and any photo or memento that suggested a relationship had to go.”
Nazim didn’t like to talk about his family. He had left Birmingham and felt that to talk about pain or sadness or guilt would have infected the new life they had created in London – he was resigned to playing the dutiful Muslim boy to his family in Birmingham when, in fact, he was a happily gay man in London.
To celebrate the 10th anniversary of their first meeting, Matthew and Nazim threw a party at a London club. Nazim was now a GP as well as running his own business – three London clinics that offered Botox treatments – and Matthew was doing well working for a software company. During the party, Matthew asked the DJ to lower the music. He led Nazim into the DJ booth, got down on one knee and proposed. “He looked at me and his face was just lit up,” says Matthew.
The following year, Matthew came out to his parents, who were loving and accepting of both of them, but for Nazim, whose family were culturally conservative Muslims, the only strategy was to keep the solid borderlines between the old life in Birmingham and the new life in London.
On the last Saturday of July 2014, Nazim and Matthew drove north to Birmingham. It was a strange time: a close friend had died and they had to be back in London on the Monday for his memorial service. It was also the weekend of Eid, the Muslim festival.
When he arrived, Nazim’s family were annoyed that he was late for the Eid celebrations and planned to leave early for the memorial. Things were said – Matthew does not know what, exactly – that left Nazim distraught. “I am a good person,” Nazim said, weeping. “Why can’t people accept me for who I am?”
“Is it because you like men?” his mother had asked him, out of the blue. And Nazim, who had spent years hiding and pretending, to protect his relationship with Matthew, did something he had never expected to do: on the spur of the moment, he told them everything.
Nazim was in a state of shock as he drove back to London. It emerged at the inquest in December 2014 that he had told his mother he was gay and had been in a relationship with a man for 13 years, and planned to marry him. Her response was to tell Nazim to consult a psychiatrist with a view to being “cured”.
The coroner, Mary Hassell, ruled that Nazeem killed himself. She said: “It seems incredible that a young man with so much going for him could have taken his own life. But what I’ve heard is that he had one great sadness which was the difficulty his family had in accepting his sexuality.”
Nazim had never planned to reveal his sexuality and found it hard to process his mother’s extreme reaction.
The couple went to the service for their dead friend that evening and a second ceremony the following day, but Matthew recalls Nazim being distant, but trying to put on a brave face. On Tuesday evening, Nazim helped with paperwork for the new job Matthew would start the following morning and then they retired to bed.
In the office next day, Matthew got a text from his sister, saying simply “call me now”. It was early evening on Wednesday 30 July. He rang her and was told to go home immediately; she would not say why. It couldn’t be Nazim – they had talked at lunchtime and Nazim had called again at just after 3pm and then twice after 5pm, but it was Matthew’s first day in a new office and he had been too busy in meetings to take the calls, though he had tried to call Nazim back. Had there been a bomb scare at the flat?
As he left West Hampstead station Matthew began to run. “It was like I was running for my life,” he recalls.
As he speaks, he is clutching himself tightly, right hand gripping his biceps. “I was pushing people out of the way and as I came round the corner I saw flashing blue lights and police cordon tape, then I saw this red blanket on the floor covering something up.”
He began to scream. He was bundled into a police car as friends started to show up, faces grey with shock.
Matthew arrived at Handsworth cemetery early on the day of Nazim’s funeral. In the aftermath of the death, Matthew had met Nazim’s family but the encounters were tense and uncomfortable. It appears that they did not want to have to deal with what they considered the shame of having had a gay son, and a gay son with a non-Muslim lover. Out of respect for Nazim’s mother’s plea not to make a scene at Nazim’s burial, Matthew agreed not to ask for a major role at the funeral, which was due to take place at 3.30pm.
With less than half an hour to go, nobody else had arrived and Matthew began to worry. In the distance he could see a burial taking place. “I went over and asked one of the officials where Nazim was being buried,” he said. “She said, ‘I’m really sorry – they have already buried him.’”
He ran out and saw Nazim’s family pouring dirt on to the coffin. “I was so angry,” Matthew tells me, tears streaming down his face, “I could not move. My arms and legs were just clenched. I felt completely betrayed.”
Nazim’s family had apparently given him the wrong time for the funeral.
He returned to London feeling desperately low. “I wanted to end it all,” he says quietly. “Follow Naz and leap off the balcony.”
His friends ensured he always had at least three people with him round the clock. “Every time I tried to get to the edge of the balcony, my friends would stop me. I couldn’t find a reason to stay alive.”
Then, in his distress, Matthew recalls: “I heard Naz’s voice.”
He is convinced that Nazim spoke to him, telling him to set up a foundation to help other young gay men and women driven to depression because of religious homophobia. He had a reason to go on at last.
The Naz and Matt Foundation was announced at a special service held in London for Nazim, two weeks after his funeral. The service featured contributions from a gay Muslim, gay Hindu, a gay vicar, a trainee Rabbi and a lesbian interfaith minister. Matthew has been seeing a psychotherapist but he doubts any counsellor can help to liberate him from the questions that haunt him. “I don’t have answers to the questions I have and I can’t find peace of mind because there are no answers.”
Who does Matthew blame for Nazim’s death? “I blame a community that is so closed minded to allow these bigoted views that make families believe that their honour is more important than loving their children,” he says. “The respect and honour of the family is more important than the happiness of the children they gave birth to. How sick is that?”
The purpose of the Naz and Matt Foundation is to confront and challenge these views. Matthew says the foundation has given him a reason to stay alive but he is still finding it hard to come to terms with Nazim’s death. “I am on medication for sleep and anxiety,” he says. “I can’t face going to sleep because I know I will have to wake up and face more sadness, because he’s not there.”
Nazim is gone but in the home they shared he is everywhere. A large painting of him rests against one wall, photographs arranged around the room. The condolence cards read “With deepest sympathy”, and “So sorry for your loss” and so on.
We have talked for more than five hours and Matthew looks emotionally exhausted as I prepare to leave. A digital picture frame has settled on an image from the party where Matthew proposed to Nazim. They were engaged for three years but didn’t marry. “I have applied to have my name changed by deed poll to the name I would have adopted when we got married,” he says.
Why didn’t they get married? “Naz said it would not feel right to marry without being able to invite his mother,” says Matthew. “He wanted the unconditional love of his mum – that was all he had ever wanted: love and acceptance.”

Q: positive
A: We got a great deal on this hotel during the Thanksgiving holiday. With the basic room the average rate per night after taxes and the resort fee was $99 for 4 nights. The resort fee covers internet access in the room, a coupon book with 2 free drinks, access to the business center, and a newspaper. We only used the internet and we used the business center to print boarding passes. The interior of the hotel is decent. There was a lot of construction and some escalators were out of order, but a lot of things in Vegas were out of order or under construction. There were a quite a few restaurants. I visited the Starbucks, Haagen Daz, and a sandwich place. The sandwich place was the least satisfying. And of course the prices are jacked up at Starbucks. The room was very clean and spacious. We had the smallest an most basic room with two double beds on the 16th floor of the New Yorker tower. The room could have easily fit a desk in it. I really appreciated the mirrored closet doors. The beds were comfortable, the shower was hot. One complaint about the room is the tv, it was SO outdated. I think it might have been a 13 inch tube. I've seen bigger and better televisions in cheaper, crappier hotels. Let's be honest, no one comes to Vegas to sit in their hotel room all day. New York New York was a basic, clean hotel to sleep in and it had more than enough entertainment for late night hours if you didn't want to go out in the cold (it was freezing during Thanksgiving). For the price, I'm really happy we stayed here. The only reason why I wouldn't stay again is that there are just too many other hotels to explore.
Q: positive

Input: Tour helicopter crashes near Pearl Harbor's Arizona Memorial
A tourist helicopter carrying five people crashed into the Thursday morning into the waters near Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor, officials said.
The 10:30 a.m. crash left a 16-year-old passenger in critical condition, and hospitalized two others, who are in stable condition — a 50-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.
A witness video posted to YouTube showed the chopper plunging into waters close to the shore at the historic Navy base's U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. Bystanders helped rescue workers bring all five passengers ashore safely.
Federal Aviation Administration records show the Bell 206 chopper is owned by Genesis Helicopters, which provides hour-long tours over the island of Oahu from Honolulu's airport. Pearl Harbor is just a few miles from the Honolulu International Airport.
A phone call to Genesis' office wasn't answered, and no one immediately responded to a request for comment sent through the company's website Thursday.
The helicopter sank into the waters after the crash, said U.S. Navy spokeswoman Agnes Tauyan. FAA investigators will examine the scene and the National Transportation Safety Board has been alerted, FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said.
Eyewitnesses told KHNL-TV they saw smoke coming from the chopper's tail before it began falling from about 500 feet in the air. Max Burner, who was visiting the site of the 1941 Japanese attack from his home in Redwood City, Calif., jumped into the water with others when the helicopter went down, he said.
"As soon as it hit the water, some people popped out," Burner said. One of the rescuers used a knife to help a passenger get free from a seatbelt, he noted.
Navy officials closed the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center until further notice Thursday. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Another bystander, Roy Gano, told KHNL he had noticed the chopper flying lower than normal.
"It then hovered for a second and then started to descend," Gano said. "It was not spinning out of control, but it was dropping at a good rate. It narrowly missed the rocky edge and turned to its side. I saw people dive into the water to help."

Input: 'The Jungle Book'Dominates Box Office With $32M Friday
Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book, the latest offering from Disney’s live-action studio, is doing huge business in its debut at the North American box office, grossing $32.4 million on Friday for a projected $87 million-$90 million weekend, one of the top openings of all time for the month of April.
The movie’s better-than-expected performance — fueled by stellar reviews and an A CinemaScore — is yet another victory for Disney as it reimagines its classic titles. At this pace, the $175 tentpole will come ahead of fellow Disney titles Cinderella ($67.9 million), Oz the Great and Powerful ($79.1 million and Maleficent ($69.4 million).
Jungle Book is a reimagining of Rudyard Kipling’s eponymous book about an orphaned human boy whose guardians are animals. The live-action/CGI hybrid introduces Neel Sethi as Mowgli and features the voices of Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, Lupita Nyong’o and Scarlett Johansson.
Disney opens the movie in 4,208 theaters in North America; more than 3,000 of those will offer the film in a variety of premium formats, including 4D, 3D and Imax. Overseas, The Jungle Book already has grossed north of $30 million after opening in a handful of markets last weekend. It opens in other counties this weekend — including China, the U.K., France, Germany and Mexico — and could take in $75 million or more internationally.
The Jungle Book already has grossed $57.1 million from its first foreign markets, including doing record-breaking business in India — where Hollywood entries typically have a tough time — and Russia.
Two other films open this weekend, Ice Cube’s Barbershop: The Next Cut and the older-skewing action thriller Criminal, starring Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones.
Boosted by strong reviews and an A- CinemaScore, Barbershop 3 is looking at debut in the $19 million range-$20 million range for New Line and MGM after earning $7 million Friday, somewhat behind expectations but good enough for the No. 2 spot.
Criminal is struggling in its debut, with a projected weekend gross of $6 million-$7 million.

Input: EastEnders fans moan about 'boring' plot revolving around BINS
Walford residents rant about the recycling — and viewers think the scenes should have been scrapped
EASTENDERS fans have rubbished Monday night’s episode of the soap, which saw Walford residents discussing the new bin collection schedule.
In what appears to be a nod to recent changes in London, there is great confusion when locals learn the collections will soon take place every two weeks instead of once a week.
In one scene, young mother Lauren rants to fellow mum Whitney: "I know this sounds really bad but sometimes I feel like this house is just full of dirty nappies and incontinence pads and stuffy rooms and bleach up my nose.
"Who knows what it's going to be like when they're only doing the bins every other week?"
I love #EastEnders, I really do, but what the hell is this bins storyline? They just won't shut up about the bins and the bin collections.
— Laura (@LauraSparling) September 19, 2016
It's all kicking off on #EastEnders!! Last week it wad was the bins now it's the recycling!! Wow!! Hard hitting storylines!!????????????

Sorry was tonight's episode of #EastEnders sponsored by Bins R Us? They mentioned bins more time than Sonia mentioned bloody Kettering
— Ben Bone (@Spiceyben) September 19, 2016
Whitney then wondered: "Which bin do dirty nappies go in?" to which an exasperated Lauren replied: "I don't know!"
There was even more confusion on Twitter, where fans questioned the point of the storyline.
One viewer wrote: "I love #EastEnders, I really do, but what the hell is this bins storyline? They just won't shut up about the bins and the bin collections."
"#EastEnders please get a new storyline over the bin one. It's boring," wrote another fan.
One person joked: "It's all kicking off on #EastEnders!! Last week it wad was the bins now it's the recycling!! Wow!! Hard hitting storylines!!"
And another said: "Sorry was tonight's episode of #EastEnder sponsored by Bins R Us? They mentioned bins more time than Sonia mentioned bloody Kettering."
"Blimey hav #EastEnders only just caught up with recycling & alternate bin collection days," remarked someone else.
And one user joked: If you've been affected by any of the Bins and recycling issues in tonight's show, please contact the BBC support line on..."

Problem: What would be an example of an negative review?
Answer: We spent almost $30 on an 18" supreme pizza. The prices are a little high for the quality. The peppers on the pizza were soggy and overdone, there were only about six pepperoni slices on the entire pizza and the mushrooms did not taste fresh. We have had their calzone three times and it was delicious, a little too much ricotta for me but none the less delicious! The salad bar always looks old and never clean, to say the least ..if you catch them on a good day its good but on a consistent level its not fantastic!
Problem: What would be an example of an positive review?
Answer: Tried the chicken gyro, was pretty tasty. Asked for a sample of lamb and was given a nice portion to taste for free, the lamb is delicious. Prices are affordable and location is near my work, will come back.

Neil Young and Stephen Stills met in 1965, at the Fourth Dimension in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Young was there with the Squires, a Winnipeg group he had been leading since February 1963, and Stills was on tour with The Company, a spin-off from the Au Go Go Singers. When Stills' band broke up at the end of that tour, he moved to the West Coast, where he worked as a session musician and auditioned unsuccessfully for, among other bands, the Monkees. Told by record producer Barry Friedman there would be work available if he could assemble a band, Stills invited fellow Au Go Go Singers alumnus Richie Furay and former Squires bass player Ken Koblun to come join him in California. Both agreed, although Koblun chose to leave before very long and joined the group 3's a Crowd. In early 1966 in Toronto, Young met Bruce Palmer, a Canadian who was playing bass for a group called the Mynah Birds. In need of a lead guitarist, Palmer invited Young to join the group, and Young accepted. The Mynah Birds were set to record an album for Motown Records when their singer Ricky James Matthews--James Ambrose Johnson, Jr., later known as Rick James--was tracked down and arrested by the U.S. Navy for being AWOL. With their record deal canceled, Young and Palmer headed for Los Angeles, where they encountered Stills. Drummer Dewey Martin, who had played with garage rock group the Standells and country artists such as Patsy Cline and the Dillards, joined at the suggestion of the Byrds' manager, Jim Dickson. The group's name was taken from a brand of steamroller made by the Buffalo-Springfield Roller Company. The new group debuted on April 11, 1966, at The Troubadour in Hollywood. A few days later, they began a short tour of California as the opening act for the Dillards and the Byrds.

Problem: Article: If your cat is missing for more than a few hours, talk to your neighbors and make fliers to put under door handles. Put your name, phone number, and a photo of your cat on the flier. Describe any distinguishing marks (such as, "triangular white spot on shoulder"), and write the coat color if you're distributing black-and-white flyers. Search for online templates for "Lost Cat posters" if you're not sure how to make one from scratch. Include relevant information about specific dietary or medical conditions if life threatening. Ask neighbors to kindly check their sheds, garages and basements. Closest neighbors that the cat is reasonably familiar with are good places to check with first. Offering a reward can be good motivation and can get people out looking instead of "keeping an eye out." If you receive a report of a cat sighting that doesn't quite match your cat's description, visit the location anyway to make sure. Descriptions from strangers often don't match the description you would give the cat. Keep info on posters large, easy to read and simple. Include the relevant facts only. As well, ensure that the associated contact details are up-to-date, so a vet or animal agency can call you. Implanting a microchip is a very common procedure and only needs to be done once in a pet's life. Microchips are implanted by a veterinary professional under the skin over the shoulder blades of the cat. The microchip is about the size of a grain of rice and carries a unique code that can be read by a scanner when the hand held scanning device is waved over the pet's body. When the chip is implanted in the pet, the owner provides registration information to the microchip company that will be kept on file until the owner changes that information. The code will be linked to the owner's information through the microchip's database. When the scanner reveals the code, the microchip company can then be contacted with the code and the owner's information will be available. Most veterinarians and animal shelters will check for a microchip for no charge when a stray cat is brought in. It's best to post as many fliers as you can within a one mile radius of your home. Beyond that, there are several strategies for using your fliers effectively, and places that may be worth walking a longer distance to cover: Give fliers to veterinary offices, in case someone takes your cat there to treat injuries or begin an adoption process. Post flyers near schools and playgrounds, at children's eye level. Children are often more observant than adults, especially at noticing animals. Dog runs, dog parks, pet supply stores, and pet grooming salons are all visited by pet-friendly people who are more likely to search actively. Post on community message boards at laundromats, churches, missing pet websites, schools, pet stores, libraries, and grocery stores, or any other businesses that allows it in your neighborhood. Many people who come across missing pets search for owners online. Think about posting a picture of your pet or searching for it on one of numerous pet recovery websites, local community sites, the local Craigslist lost pet section, and anywhere else you can think of. Include up to date contact information on all posts. Lost pet tracking websites include Missing Pet, Pets911, and TabbyTracker. FindToto for US residents costs money to use, but will broadcast a "Pet Amber Alert" to neighbors in your area. Twitter and Facebook can be used to spread the word among your network of friends. Be sure to include a photo or two. If your neighborhood association has an email news digest or web site, post a Lost Cat notice. Remember to include the cat's name, description and temperament. Pay a local newspaper to place a lost cat ad, including a description and your phone number. The more local to the area the newspaper is, the better. If no local newspaper serves your area, ask about community newsletters at a community center, a police or sheriff's station, or a local government building. Record a new voice mail message to make sure callers leave all relevant information. For example, say "You've reached (name). If you're calling about my lost cat, (name), please leave a message with the date and place you last saw him, along with your name and phone number. Thank you." Usually if someone comes across a lost cat, they'll report it to the SPCA, Animal Control or your local equivalent. Call your local animal shelter and report your cat has gone missing along with all the relevant details (sex of the cat, color, and your contact information). Visit them every day or two until your cat is found, as sometimes shelters have many cats and have a difficult time matching your description to what they have. Some shelters keep a log of lost pet announcements so that they have records of your information should a similar animal come into their facility. It never hurts to make friends with the front staff at the shelter to make them personally aware of your situation and your pet's description. Home baked goods break a lot of ice anywhere you ask for help. Check in person every couple of days. If your cat has been taken to a crowded shelter or local pound, they may only be able to hold cats for a few days before euthanizing the cat. If the staff know you're actively looking, they can be a great ally. Ask them to call you if a cat fitting your cat's description turns up. Sometimes, police get calls about found animals, especially in areas without shelters. Officers who spend their day driving around might notice your cat. Do not call the emergency number for your police department! Call the non-emergency 311 number or just talk to your local patrolman instead. While your lost cat is an emergency to you, police need to prioritize incidents involving people. Check local newspapers and popular online sites daily under the "found" section. Many animal shelters have websites that show pictures of captured, stray animals, so check the website daily or more frequently. Search for "lost pets" + the name of your region to discover additional local websites. ” Pet detectives are available in most states trained in finding lost pets.
Summary: Distribute flyers in your neighborhood. Make sure that if your cat is microchipped. Place flyers in effective locations. Post a color picture online. Place a local newspaper notice. Change your voice mail message. Call the local animal welfare agency. Find out where your "Open intake" shelter is. Notify your local police department. Check "found" sections on Craigslist, newspapers and online classifieds. Hire a “Cat Detective or a "Lost Cat Finder" who specializes in lost cats.
Problem: Article: Some people feel anxious or depressed around mid-life. Perhaps you feel sad about not accomplishing your goals or having a different life than you expected. You might also begin to feel anxious about the changes you experience physically and impending old age and death. Don’t ignore your feelings or brush them off. Acknowledge how you feel and don’t be afraid to get help. Identify symptoms of depression and anxiety and get help if you need it. Consider keeping a journal, or an autobiography of sorts. Writing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences can help you reflect on the kind of life you’ve led and the kind of life you want. Keeping a journal can also help you maintain perspective and see situations and events from multiple standpoints. Writing about your life can help you gain some perspective about your choices and what you’ve learned from them.

Talking Heads were an American rock band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals, guitar), Chris Frantz (drums), Tina Weymouth (bass), and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar). Described by critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine as "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s", the group helped to pioneer new wave music by integrating elements of punk, art rock, funk, and world music with avant-garde sensibilities and an anxious, clean-cut image. Former art school students, who became involved in the 1970s New York punk scene, Talking Heads released their debut
After releasing four albums in barely four years, the group went into hiatus, and nearly three years passed before their next release, although Frantz and Weymouth continued to record with the Tom Tom Club. In the meantime, Talking Heads released a live album The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads, toured the United States and Europe as an eight-piece group, and parted ways with Eno, who went on to produce albums with U2. 1983 saw the release of Speaking in Tongues, a commercial breakthrough that produced the band's only American Top 10 hit, "Burning Down the House". Once again, a striking video was inescapable owing to its heavy rotation on MTV. The following tour was documented in Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense, which generated another live album of the same name. The tour in support of Speaking in Tongues was their last. Three more albums followed: 1985's Little Creatures (which featured the hit singles "And She Was" and "Road to Nowhere"), 1986's True Stories (Talking Heads covering all the soundtrack songs of Byrne's musical comedy film, in which the band also appeared), and 1988's Naked. Little Creatures offered a much more American pop-rock sound as opposed to previous efforts. Similar in genre, True Stories hatched one of the group's most successful hits, "Wild Wild Life", and the accordion-driven track "Radio Head", which became the etymon of the band of the same name. Naked explored politics, sex, and death, and showed heavy African influence with polyrhythmic styles like those seen on Remain in Light. During that time, the group was falling increasingly under David Byrne's control and, after Naked, the band went on "hiatus". It took until December 1991 for an official announcement to be made that Talking Heads had broken up. Their final release was "Sax and Violins", an original song that had appeared earlier that year on the soundtrack to Wim Wenders' Until the End of the World. During this breakup period, Byrne continued his solo career, releasing Rei Momo in 1989 and The Forest in 1991. This period also saw a revived flourish from both Tom Tom Club (Boom Boom Chi Boom Boom and Dark Sneak Love Action) and Harrison (Casual Gods and Walk on Water), who toured together in the summer of 1990.Answer this question using a quote from the following article:

Problem: Conacher was born in Toronto, Ontario on May 24, 1900. His middle name was given after the South African city of Pretoria, where British troops were fighting the Boer War at the time of his birth. He was the eldest son of Benjamin and Elizabeth Conacher, and the third of ten children overall. He had four brothers and five sisters.
Conacher scored the first goal in Pirates history on American Thanksgiving Day Thursday November 26, 1925, against the Boston Bruins. He scored nine goals in 33 games in 1925-26, then returned to Toronto to play professional baseball with the Toronto Maple Leafs. An outfielder on the team, Conacher and the Maple Leafs won the International League championship then defeated the Louisville Colonels to win the Little World Series. He returned to Pittsburgh for the 1926-27 NHL season, but was dealt early in the year to the New York Americans in exchange for Charlie Langlois and $2,000. The trade nearly proved disastrous for Conacher. He scored 8 goals in 1926-27 and improved to 11 in 1927-28, but playing for a team owned by notorious bootlegger Bill Dwyer resulted in his becoming a heavy drinker. Conacher served as player-coach in 1929-30, but his play and health had deteriorated. Two events in that off-season saved Conacher: he swore off alcohol completely upon the birth of his first child, and his playing rights were sold to the Montreal Maroons. Conacher periodically struggled with Montreal, and at one point was placed on waivers with no other team willing to take over his contract. Nonetheless, his overall play and point totals increased for three consecutive seasons with the Maroons, peaking at 28 points in 1932-33. He was named to the Second All-Star Team that season, but was traded to the Chicago Black Hawks in exchange for Teddy Graham. Conacher was a key figure in the club's first-ever Stanley Cup victory that season. He finished second to the Canadiens' Aurel Joliat in the voting for the Hart Trophy and earned a spot on the NHL's First All-Star Team. On Wednesday October 3, 1934, Conacher was involved in one of the largest transactions in league history. He was dealt to the Montreal Canadiens, along with Leroy Goldsworthy and Roger Jenkins in exchange for Montreal superstar Howie Morenz, Lorne Chabot and Marty Burke. The deal was only part of a series of trades involving four teams that represented one of the biggest deals in NHL history. Immediately following the Chicago trade, Conacher was sent back to the Maroons, along with Herb Cain, in exchange for the rights to Nelson Crutchfield. Conacher spent his last three NHL seasons with the Maroons and won his second Stanley Cup in 1935. He ended his hockey career after the team was eliminated from the playoffs by the New York Rangers on April 23, 1937. That final year he was runner-up to Babe Siebert in the 1937 Hart Trophy voting and was placed on the NHL Second All-Star Team.
Did he win any championships?
Answer with quotes: Conacher and the Maple Leafs won the International League championship
Background: Bernhard was born Bernhard Leopold Friedrich Eberhard Julius Kurt Karl Gottfried Peter, Count of Biesterfeld in Jena, Saxe-Weimar-Eisenach, German Empire on 29 June 1911, the elder son of Prince Bernhard of Lippe and his wife, Armgard von Cramm. He was a grandson of Ernest, Count of Lippe-Biesterfeld, who was regent of the Principality of Lippe until 1904. He was also a nephew of the principality's last sovereign Leopold IV, Prince of Lippe.
Context: Prince Bernhard was a member of the "Reiter-SS", a mounted unit of the SS and joined the Nazi party. He later also joined the National Socialist Motor Corps. Various members of his family and friends were aligned with the Nazis prior to the Second World War, a number of whom attended the royal wedding. Protocol demanded that the prospective Prince-Consort be invited to an audience with his head of state, who at the time was Adolf Hitler. Hitler himself gives an account of the conversation he had with Bernhard in his Tischgesprache (Table Conversations). Table Conversations was a collection of monologues, remarks, and speeches Hitler gave during lunch or dinner to those invited to the table by him. Bernhard himself called Hitler a tyrant in a public speech on the BBC on 25 June 1940 after France fell to Germany. The Prince's brother, Prince Aschwin of Lippe-Biesterfeld, was an officer in the German Army. Although the secret services on both sides were interested in this peculiar pair of brothers, no improper contacts or leaks of information were ever discovered. The Prince proved himself to be a loyal Dutch citizen and officer. He cut off relations with those members of his family who were enthusiastic Nazis. As a sign of his "Dutchness" he spoke only Dutch when negotiating the surrender of German forces in the Netherlands. The Prince was known to be very fond of smart uniforms and medals. He made a point of wearing his medals in the English court style, even though members of the Dutch armed forces wear their medals in the Prussian style. The Prince's mother was no admirer of the Nazis and got into trouble for refusing to hoist the swastika flag on her country seat at Reckenwalde.
Question: Did Hitler respond back to Bernhard?
Answer: Protocol demanded that the prospective Prince-Consort be invited to an audience with his head of state, who at the time was Adolf Hitler.
Question:
Keane are an English rock band from Battle, East Sussex, formed in 1995. The band currently comprises Tom Chaplin (lead vocals, electric/acoustic guitar), Tim Rice-Oxley (piano, synthesisers, bass guitar, backing vocals), Richard Hughes (drums, percussion, backing vocals), and Jesse Quin (bass guitar, acoustic/electric guitar, backing vocals). Their original line-up included founder and guitarist Dominic Scott, who left in 2001. Keane achieved mainstream, international success with the release of their debut album, Hopes and Fears, in 2004.
In a March 2007 video interview, Chaplin and Hughes spoke of wanting to take a more "organic" approach on album three, but played down suggestions about the use of guitars, referring to them as "a fun part of the live set" at present; however, the cover of "She Sells Sanctuary", became the first song recorded since "The Happy Soldier" (2001) to feature the instrument. Photographic updates to the Keane website also implied the use of guitars in the album's recording sessions. Jesse Quin joined the band since this album as permanent studio and live member. He plays the bass, percussion, guitar, synths and backing vocals. On 25 August 2008, Keane appeared as studio guests on BBC 6 Music with Steve Lamacq where three of the new songs from Perfect Symmetry were played for the first time: "Spiralling", "The Lovers Are Losing", and "Better Than This". The album was released on 13, October 2008, and reached number one on the UK Albums Chart on 19 October. It also reached number 7 on the Billboard 200 chart. In December 2008, it was voted Best Album of the Year by the readers, listeners and visitors of Q Magazine, Q Radio and Qthemusic.com. The song "Perfect Symmetry" was voted best track. In November of the same year, they started their third world tour, the Perfect Symmetry World Tour. On 2 April 2009, Keane became the first band ever to broadcast a live show in 3D. It was filmed at Abbey Road, the site of the world's first satellite broadcast (by The Beatles). Keane fans were prompted to buy 3D glasses along with the new 7" single, "Better Than This", or also to hand-make their own glasses. The show is available to watch on Keane's official site in high definition.

An example of a movie review. positive (OPTIONS:
- negative
- positive).
A: This is quite an unusual and unique little western, that is made mostly original due to its story that revolves around an unique and superior Winchester 1873 rifle and all of those who get to poses it at one point or another in the movie.
It's mostly a very entertaining movie to watch but not without still being a real western as well. The movie got done in a typical '40's/'50's style of western genre film-making, so the lovers of the genre should not be turned off by its somewhat unusual main premise.
Because the rifle is actually being the main plot device of the movie, it allows the story to follow multiple characters throughout the movie, who are all connected of course and the story makes full circle in the end. Without that this movie would had been a pretty messy one to watch, since the story often jumps from the one hazardous occasion into the other, with constantly different characters involved. Quite amazing how they even managed to put Wyatt Earp in this all. But it's no criticism really. I liked that the movie and its story were being original and how the movie seemed to move from the one event to the other. It gave the movie a bit of a sense of adventure and entertainment.
It's also a really great looking movie. I liked the settings the movie used and it seems quite amazing that this was actually the director Anthony Mann's first western. Luckily he would go on to direct more westerns later on, which also often would star James Stewart in the main lead.
It was a pretty daring casting choice to pick James Stewart as the main lead. He is one of the softest and most polite looking and acting actors, so casting him as a tough gunslinger seems like a bit of an odd pick. But Stewart is surprisingly convincing as a tough guy and it shows how versatile and really capable as an actor he actually was.
It also has some other surprising actors in the movie, that are not often get connected with this genre. Shelley Winters plays the female lead and also later well known actors Rock Hudson and Tony Curtis appear in some small roles.
A real western with also plenty of action and entertainment to it.
8/10
Q: What's an example of a movie review?
An example of a movie review is here: Over the years I've seen a bunch of these straight to video Segal movies, and every one holds the same amount of entertainment; unfortanetley, the entertainment level is at a low. Sure, the action sequences were amusing, but that was pretty much it. Seagal was really in his prime when he did movies like; Under Siege, Under Siege 2, and Executive Decision(at least on the action standpoint), but during the past ten years, these types of movies that star Segal really do not meet his past qualifications.
On the more positive side, the movie did make good use of time, like some of the action sequences and use of wit. Just when the movie seemed to just drag on, a pretty cool action scene brought it up out of the gutter. I honestly believe that more of Segal's movies would do better if he wasn't the only one that fans recognize in the movie. Supporting actors and actresses are a very important thing, and if his current movies had this known supporting actors and actresses, maybe the movie will get more popular results.

Answer: I liked the initial premise to this film which is what led me to hunt it out but the problem I quickly found is that one pretty much knows what's going to happen within the first 20-30 minutes ( the doubles will come from behind the mirror and take over everybody).
There is no real twist (which is fine) , but the final reveal doesn't make a great deal of sense either (how can she be racked with uncertainty and fear for the whole film, if she's an evil id from beyond the mirror?).
Admittedly the scenes 'beyond the mirror' were chilling when they first appeared and the blonde's murder is also effectively creepy, but ultimately alas this seems to be a film in search of a story or a more engaging script, piling atmosphere upon atmosphere and over the top scary sound design for 80-90 minutes does not really cut it, in fact it gets quite dull.

In this film we have the fabulous opportunity to see what happened to Timon and Pumbaa in the film when they are not shown - which is a lot! This film even goes back to before Simba and (presumbably) just after the birth of Kiara.
Quite true to the first film, "Lion King 1/2 (or Lion King 3 in other places)" is a funny, entertaining, exciting and surprising film (or sequel if that's what you want to call it). A bundle of surprises and hilarity await for you!
While Timon and Pumbaa are watching a film at the cinema (with a remote control), Timon and Pumbaa have an argument of what point of "The Lion King" they are going to start watching, as Timon wants to go to the part when he and Pumbaa come in and Pumbaa wants to go back to the beginning. They have a very fair compromise of watching the film of their own story, which is what awaits... It starts with Timon's first home...
For anyone with a good sense of humour who liked the first films of just about any age, enjoy "Lion King 1/2"! :-)

TOKYO — Moody’s, the credit ratings agency, lowered Japan’s credit rating by one notch on Wednesday, warning that frequent changes in administration, weak prospects for economic growth and its recent natural and nuclear disasters made it difficult for the government to pare down its huge debt.
Hours after the downgrade, the government announced a $100 billion credit facility to help the Japanese economy ride out a spike in the yen in recent weeks amid the global market turmoil, which has battered Japan’s export-led economy.
“Taking into account that there is a lopsided rise in the yen, I felt that swift measures were needed,” Yoshihiko Noda, the finance minister, told reporters.
Moody’s Investors Service lowered Japan’s grade by one step to Aa3, the fourth-highest rating, the company said in a statement.
The downgrade brings Moody’s rating for Japan in line with Standard & Poor’s, which lowered the country’s grade by one notch to AA-minus in January, the fourth highest on its scale. Moody’s had put Japan on review for a downgrade in May.
The action comes after a round of downgrades by major ratings agencies of sovereign debt, and amid concern that the debt crisis in Europe could escalate. On Aug. 5, S.& P. cut the sovereign debt rating of the United States for the first time in the country’s history.
Markets in Tokyo largely shrugged off the downgrade, the latest in a line of many.
Trust in Japanese government debt “remains unwavering,” Japan’s finance minister, Yoshihiko Noda, told reporters after the downgrade.
Still, the move, a week before the country’s ruling party is to select a new prime minister, could put additional pressure on the incoming administration to balance budgets. The government financing of the recovery from the March 11 earthquake, tsunami and subsequent nuclear crisis is expected to reach as high as 10 trillion yen ($130 billion).
Even before the disasters, Japan’s debt was expected to soar to almost 220 percent of its gross domestic product next year, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, which would rank it as the largest debt-to-G.D.P. ratio in the world. Japan, however, has long been able to borrow at low nominal rates because of unwavering appetite by domestic investors for government debt.
Moody’s said that it was worried by large budget deficits and the buildup of government debt. Frequent change in leadership had prevented the government from pursuing long-term fiscal reform, the agency said, while the recent disasters had delayed recovery. Meanwhile, weak prospects for economic growth were also hampering efforts to curb the country’s debt burden, the agency said.
Deflation and sluggish growth has long weighed on Japan’s economy, eroding the country’s tax base and forcing the government to issue debt to finance its budget. Meanwhile, spending on pensions and social welfare has soared as the country’s population ages.
The global economic crisis further darkened Japan’s economic outlook, as has the recent tsunami and nuclear accident. Global market turmoil in recent weeks has also wreaked havoc with the Japanese economy, driving up the value of the yen and hurting its export-led economy.
The credit facility unveiled on Wednesday aims to spur Japanese spending on corporate acquisitions and resources overseas, according to a statement released by the Finance Ministry.
By spending yen for dollars and other currencies, the ministry hopes that the currency will weaken somewhat. A strong yen hurts Japanese exporters because it makes their goods less competitive and erodes the value of their overseas earnings when repatriated into yen.
The ministry also said it would step up monitoring of currency markets by asking financial institutions to report on positions held by their currency dealers.
Prime Minister Naoto Kan, meanwhile, is expected to step down by the end of the month amid criticism of his handling of the response to the disasters, making way for Japan’s fifth prime minister in six years.
Mr. Noda, the finance minister, is among a field of candidates to replace Mr. Kan. He has supported more aggressive steps, including raising taxes, to tackle the country’s debt. Debate over Japan’s finances has been sidelined by the country’s recovery and reconstruction needs, however. ||||| Credit ratings agency Moody's criticised the instability at the top of Japanese politics on Tuesday as it slashed the country's credit rating and warned that its mountain of debt needed to be tackled.
Moody's cut Japan's rating by one notch to Aa3, its fourth highest rating, and said a tougher deficit reduction plan was urgently needed. The move came just hours before Japan took fresh steps to help corporations cope with the strength of the yen, including a $100bn (£60bn) fund to help fund overseas acquisitions.
Japan has the highest debt-to-GDP ratio of any country in the world, with its borrowings estimated to hit 233% of annual economic output in 2011. Moody's said the rapid turnover of Japanese prime ministers – five different men have held the job since the credit crunch began in August 2007 – had prevented the government from turning "long-term economic and fiscal strategies into effective and durable policies".
Naoto Kan, the current prime minister, is expected to resign next week, triggering yet another leadership battle – and potentially dealing another blow to Japan's debt-reduction plans.
"A divided Diet [the Japanese parliament] and tensions within the ruling Democratic party of Japan risk both the timing and implementation of the reform plan. Indeed, the imminent change in the party's presidency and the election of a new prime minister reflect the factious nature of the country's politics," Moody's warned.
Kan had proposed a fiscal consolidation plan this year, after March's devastating earthquake added to the country's economic problems. This included doubling the sales tax later this decade. Moody's argues that more needs to be done to achieve a primary budget surplus by 2020.
Otherwise, it said, "even under the government's more vigorous and optimistic economic growth scenario, a decline in the debt-burden trajectory would remain elusive".
The downgrade did not alarm traders as most of Japan's debt is bought by domestic investors, meaning it is less reliant on the international credit markets. The Nikkei 225 closed 1.07% lower at 8639.61.
Moody's told reporters in Tokyo that it did not see the eurozone debt crisis spreading to Japan, and maintained a "stable" outlook on the country's debt.
Recent twists in the financial crisis have driven up the value of the yen to record levels, hurting Japanese exporters. Finance minister Yoshihiko Noda pledged to take "decisive action" to prevent speculators pushing the yen higher, as he announced that $100bn of credit will be made available to companies to help them borrow cheaply and invest overseas. Noda also stepped up the monitoring of foreign exchange positions held by currency dealers.
"We decided to compile the package to show our strong determination that we will act if current yen rises persist, or if the yen rises further," Noda said.
The package received a lacklustre reception in the financial markets, though, where there was disappointment that Japan had not intervened in the foreign exchange markets to actively push its currency lower, as it did three weeks ago. The yen rose slightly, hitting ¥76.53 to the dollar. |||||

– Japan has joined the US on the list of countries to have its credit rating downgraded because of debt worries. But for the Japanese, the downgrade is just the latest in a long series of bad news. Moody's has cut Japan's rating by a notch to the fourth highest on its scale, following Standard & Poor's, which cut Japan's grade to double-A-minus earlier this year, reports the New York Times. Moody's warned that Japan's weak economic prospects and unstable politics will make it difficult for the government to reduce its debt. Japan has the worst debt-to-GDP ratio of any country in the industrialized world, with borrowing predicted to top 230% of GDP next year, the Guardian notes. The ruling party is expected to select a new prime minister next week—Japan's fifth in six years. The frequent changes at the top is preventing the country from turning "long-term economic and fiscal strategies into effective and durable policies," Moody's warned.

Problem: Athena Rising reaches more than 150ft (46m) from the ground on the revamped Platform building (formerly City House), near Leeds railway station.
The mural is 36 ft (11m) wide and described as the UK's tallest piece of street art by organisers.
An owl, alongside the moon and a crown was designed and drawn by a pair of artists known as Nomad Clan.
Live updates and more stories from Yorkshire
It has taken the artists The duo - Cbloxx and AYLO (Joy Gilleard and Hayley Garner) about two weeks and hundreds of cans of spray paint to complete the work.
Cbloxx said: "It has been a challenge but one we have taken into our stride, finishing sooner than we had expected.
"We hope we have done you proud!"
The mural is part of A City Less Grey, a street art project at five sites on Leeds' buildings and streets by East Street Arts and Leeds BID.
The mural is taller than:
Christ the Redeemer in Rio - 125ft (38m)
The Statue of Liberty in New York - 112ft (34m) (statue only)
But the mural is shorter than:
Blackpool Tower - 518ft (158m)

Wales saw off South Africa by 27-13 to make it three wins out of four in the series for the first time since 2002.
"We targeted three or four games and we've reached our target," said Howley.
"We are very pleased. The players have given everything, their training's gone really well. It's nice to transfer what we've done in training into the final game."
Wales have faced criticism for their performances in the Autumn series but Howley had nothing but praise for his players.
"I'm just delighted for the players, The effort and attitude they have shown over the past five weeks has been brilliant.
"They've rounded it off with a good win today," Howley told BBC Radio Wales Sport.
Howley admitted there had been a lack of discipline as Wales almost let South Africa back into the match.
"At 20-6 we were looking for the next score. Unfortunately we lacked discipline in the last 20 odd minutes," Howley explained.
"We gave them field position. We gave them opportunities and when you give South Africa opportunities in your white zone, in the 22, they've got a great driving game.
"And we conceded that score which was disappointing, but overall I'm really pleased."
After an autumn in which they were heavily criticised for a heavy defeat by Australia and narrow wins over Argentina and Japan, Howley wants Wales to rise to the "next level" in the 2017 Six Nations.
He said: "If everyone could see the hard work and endeavour and the attitude the players have given in terms of training over the last five weeks, we would win every game.
"The transfer from training, for whatever reason, has not been to the standard that we all expected. That was the challenge against South Africa.
"I thought we were comfortable and were able to stretch South Africa more times than they were able to stretch us.
"There is another level in us. I thought we beat South Africa quite comfortably.
Howley himself had come under intense scrutiny for the quality of his side's performances recently, but he shrugged off the personal criticism.
"I don't read or listen to it, but I've got a fantastic media manager who tells me what's out there," added Howley.
"It is just about stickling to your systems and trusting in the bubble you are in."
Reacting to South Africa's latest defeat, head coach Allister Coetzee said: "First of all, I think it is a very difficult time for us as management, staff and players.
"I think we live in a country where results are important for the national team, and I am definitely not proud about the way the season has gone.
"But maybe in hindsight, if you look at this year, it's not ideal, way below what is expected of the Springbok team - but hopefully the start of a greater time and place to get South African rugby back on track again."
Sum: Wales head coach Rob Howley insisted he is satisfied with Wales' autumn international campaign.
Text: The man died after stepping into the path of a galloping horse during a race in honour of the girl's 15th birthday.
Local media said the 66-year-old owned one of the horses taking part in the amateur race.
About 1.3 million people earlier vowed to attend the party, which also featured local bands and food.
In a video message recorded earlier this month, Crescencio Ibarra announced that he would be organising a 15th birthday party for his daughter Rubi on 26 December in La Joya community, central Mexico.
"Hello, how are you? We invite you this 26 December to the 15th birthday party of our daughter, Rubi Ibarra Garcia," Mr Ibarra said while standing next to Rubi and his wife Anaelda Garcia.
He then went on to announce that the winner of the horse race to be held as part of the event would win 10,000 pesos ($490; £390).
One of those drawn by the invite, and the horse race in particular, was Felix Pena of the local Coyotes Negros (Black Coyotes) stables.
Mr Pena told local broadcaster Hora Zero that he was entering his horse, Oso Dormido (Sleeping Bear), in the race and that he expected it to win.
"I'm not doing it for the [prize] money, I'm doing it for the fame and the glory."
In a video taken of the race he can be seen rolling in the dust kicked up by the horses and then lying unconscious on the ground.
Emergency workers said he died on the way to hospital.
It is not clear why Mr Pena, who regularly raced horses, stepped into the path of the galloping animals.
Some bystanders said he may have misjudged the distance as he tried to cheer on Oso Dormido.
Another man who also stepped into the path of the horses broke a leg.
Police said apart from the accident during the horse race, the party went off peacefully.
Throwing a large party for a girl's coming-of-age is not unusual in Mexico, but Rubi Ibarra Garcia's party was unique in the attention it drew.
Mr Ibarra's message was posted publicly on Facebook and was widely shared on social media, prompting countless memes and imitations.
Mr Ibarra later said that the idea had been to invite neighbours and friends only, but promised that he would not turn anyone away.
On the day, thousands of people showed up and relatives had to move away an army of waiting reporters so Rubi could attend an open-air Mass.
Dozens of tents and tables filled with food were prepared for those who made the journey.
They were met by Rubi, who looked serene despite the crowds, wearing a fuchsia dress and a tiara.
Her father was at one point exasperated by the media and threatened to end the party if reporters did not give his daughter some space.

A man was killed at a girl's birthday party in Mexico attended by thousands after her parent's video invitation to "everyone" went viral on social media.

Problem: Job Hunting in CSR: Why Science And Technology Graduates Should Consider A Career In Sustainability
Pursuing a career in corporate social responsibility and sustainability has for the longest time been considered the best fit for liberal arts majors, commerce lovers and business development addicts, i.e., professionals and job seekers with backgrounds in marketing, public relations, and communication.
These claims have some validity. In fact, the Boston College Center for Corporate Citizenship (BCCCC) released an insightful report earlier this year, profiling the profession of corporate citizenship. One of their findings:
“An overwhelming majority (93%) are career changers with a background in a different field or position, with 44.6% from communication-related fields, 24.2% from PR, 22.6% from corporate communications, and 23.9% with a background in marketing.”
Now, an argument is challenging this status quo, calling the claim hollow and even detrimental to the field of sustainability. The argument is slowly gaining momentum.
Akhila Vijayaraghavan,a graduate in molecular biology from the University of Glasgow, U.K. who has studied environmental management as well as international environmental law, argumes:
“Everything in the environment is linked to something else; and therefore it needs to be thought of as a whole system in order to arrive at solutions. By some quirk of brain mechanism, a certain kind of people are drawn to science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) fields and through natural inclination and academic training, graduates from these fields are taught to think holistically. These are the kind of people that need to be given opportunities in the environmental field.”
Admittedly, there is a wide career gap when discussing CSR, sustainability and science.
Think about it: How many people who graduate with a degree in engineering, mathematics, technology or scientific research, work in the nonprofit sector or seek opportunities in human resources, strategy or operational sustainability?
Vijayaraghavan’s analysis then provides useful–and much-needed–perspective for the many students gravitating toward STEM fields but not necessarily equating their academic leanings with environmental and social issues.
On my invitation, Vijayaraghavan explained.
Write a one or two sentence summary.
Summary: Pursuing a career in CSR and sustainability has always been assumed as best fits for liberal art majors or professionals and job seekers with a background in marketing, PR and communication. Why this assumption must change. And soon.
Problem: The drive to kill Airbnb is a war on the future
The drive to put Airbnb out of business in New York is a classic example of vested interests trying to use state power to stop the future.
Behind the war on Airbnb is the Hotel and Motel Trades Council, a labor union that seems obsessed with the idea that the “sharing economy” is a threat to its members’ jobs.
Of course, that’s not the danger you hear of. No, the warnings are about “dangerous lodgings,” as in the recent study for the Senate Independent Democratic Conference — which flagged 91 Airbnb listings as possibly dangerous because the hosts said they could accommodate 13 or more guests.
That’s 91 listings out of 44,000 that Airbnb has for New York, or 0.21 percent. And for most of the 91, all you can tell about the offering is that it’s . . . a large house. Yes, the report had a few photos of beds jammed close together — but nothing to justify the title, “Tourist Tenements in the Making.”
Nor is the IDC’s proposed solution — more anti-Airbnb laws — a rational solution. The Airbnb folks are already looking into the listings the report flagged, and will doubtless remove any shady ones: They’ve already de-listed 3,000 offerings this year, because the would-be hosts don’t share the “values” of the Airbnb community.
You can tell the naysayers are out to kill Airbnb by the key feature of the bill they want Gov. Andrew Cuomo to sign right now: a fine of up to $7,500 a pop not on people who rent illegally, but on anyone who advertises as an Airbnb host without meeting specs written for hotel rooms.
Weirdest of all: The hotel union is obsessed with a phantom menace, because Airbnb isn’t remotely denting the hotel biz the way, say, Uber threatens the yellow-cab industry.
The typical Airbnb guest is entirely different from most folks who use hotels. And, in the city at least, the industry is booming, with new “boutique” hotels opening all the time.
Helping to drive that expansion is the internet — which has made it far easier to search for and book hotel rooms, shop for bargains and so on. And it all keeps getting better: Just last week brought a new app, One Night, that lets you find and book a New York (or LA) hotel room at a bargain rate after 3 p.m. the day of your stay.
The future has more to offer all of us — as long as the fearmongering special interests don’t stand in its way.

Problem: Geordie Shore’s Scotty T offers stunning Georgia May Foote support after split
The cheeky chappy couldn't resist trying his luck
LADIES’ man Scotty T has offered Georgia May Foote a shoulder to cry on following her split from Giovanni Pernice.
The Geordie Shore star – who has form for chatting up heartbroken celebs on Twitter – took to social media in an attempt to reach out to her.
He wrote:” ..@georgiafoote shoulder for tears available X”
The stunning brunette is yet to reply, however his fans have praised his attempt to get in there with the newly single actress.
Georgia, who announced their split on Saturday, has been keeping busy since she broke the sad news.
Over the weekend she revealed she had hit the town with her friends but it wasn’t enough to mend her broken heart.
Alongside an emoji of a heart split in two, she wrote: “Dancing didnt work this time ????.”
The former Corrie actress told fans she had split from her Strictly lover in a post on Twitter – which he later retweeted.
She wrote: “It is with great sadness we have decided to split up. There is nobody else involved.
“Although it was not an easy decision to make sometimes you realise that it is better to be friends and this is one of those times.
“We both have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year so we are both going to focus on our upcoming work projects and we wish each other well in the future.”
She later added: “Nothing i ever said about my feelings to gio were fake before people start. I still love him very very much. But things change. Please be respectful to me at this time by not saying awful things. This is a hard time for me.”
Georgia and Giovanni were finalists in last year’s series of Strictly, and started their relationship after being paired up for the show.
Their romance moved at a very fast pace and the couple quickly moved in together before sparking engagement rumours after she was spotted wearing a diamond ring.

Article:
President Obama acknowledged Wednesday that he was disappointed with the wave of losses that Democrats endured in the midterm elections but said he viewed the result as a sign that Americans want change in Washington and want elected officials to "get stuff done," rather than as a repudiation of his policies.
Speaking at length to reporters, Obama resisted taking responsibility for the outcome, in contrast to his response to the last midterm elections in 2010, when he admitted his party suffered a "shellacking.”
“The American people sent a message, one that they’ve sent for several elections now: They expect the people they elect to work as hard as they do,” he said Wednesday. “They expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours. They want us to get the job done. All of us, in both parties, have a responsibility to address that sentiment.”
But Obama signaled that he wouldn’t adopt a new strategy for dealing with Congress. He repeatedly invited Republicans to work with him but, short of that outcome, said he plans to march ahead on his own a range of issues including reform of the immigration system, climate change and the implementation of his landmark healthcare law. That likely means through executive actions rather than legislation.
On immigration, he said he would act before the end of the year, though he would still rather see Congress pass a bill he can sign.
“If, in fact, there is a great eagerness on the part of Republicans to tackle a broken immigration system, then they have every opportunity to do it,” he said. “My executive actions not only do not prevent them from passing a law that supersedes those actions, but should be a spur for them to actually try to get something done.”
Obama has invited congressional leaders to meet with him Friday, and he outlined three issues where he saw a chance for Republicans and Democrats to work together in the lame-duck session of Congress before the year ends: passage of a federal budget, taking on Islamic State militants in the Middle East and the response to the deadly Ebola virus.
To that end, he asked Congress on Wednesday for more than $6 billion in emergency funding to beef up the fight against Ebola in the three West African countries it is has ravaged and to monitor the U.S. system for preventing the spread of the deadly virus at home.
The request included $4.5 billion for equipping healthcare workers and clinics to fight the Ebola outbreak, while some $1.5 billion would go into a contingency fund to cover future needs. The U.N. has said it will take at least $1 billion to fight the outbreak in West Africa.
He also said he would have a top military official brief leading lawmakers about the fight against Islamic State militants, and that he would continue discussions about a new congressional authorization to attack the extremists that is "right-sized and updated," rather than relying on legal authority that Congress granted the president more than a decade ago to fight Al Qaeda.
Obama also mentioned certain amendments to his signature healthcare law that he’d be willing to accept, possible peace offerings in the hours after Republicans swept key congressional races and set themselves up to take over both chambers of Congress early next year. He said he wouldn't consider major changes like a removal of the provision requiring every person to have health insurance. But he said he would be "open and receptive" to ideas for making "responsible changes."
The Republican wins in key states coincided with votes in support of raising the minimum wage, giving hope to Obama that he might be able to work on that issue with GOP leaders.
White House officials also say Obama will raise the idea with congressional leaders of reforming the corporate tax structure to pay for infrastructure improvements, and that he’s open to discussing all the options that might make such a thing palatable to Republicans.
Still, hours after a sound defeat for Democrats in gubernatorial and congressional races around the country, the president didn't appear to be contemplating any personal change in response.
"Every election is a moment for reflection," he said. "Everybody in this White House is going to look and say, "What do we need to do differently? ... But the things that motivate me every single day ... those things aren't going to change."
Republicans read the results of the election differently, talking about the perils of overreach during Obama's remaining tenure. In his home state of Kentucky, Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said the president’s contemplated action would be like “waving a red flag in front of a bull.”
But McConnell extended an offering of his own, insisting that Republicans would not engage in brinkmanship over the federal debt ceiling as they did in 2011 or consider another government shutdown as they did in 2012.
For his part, Obama said he was savoring the possibilities of his remaining time in office, and vowed to work like he is playing the final period of a competitive basketball game.
Obama said he wants to be able to say, "We played that fourth quarter well.”

After election night's blow to the Democratic Party with the Republican takeover of the Senate, President Obama says that he can work with the GOP on the areas they agree on, such as creating new jobs. (AP)
After a stinging rebuke at the polls, President Obama vowed Wednesday to respond to the frustrations of the American electorate by using his final two years to forge compromises with newly empowered congressional Republicans and break the political gridlock that has defined Washington over the past several years.
“I hear you,” Obama said at a White House news conference, a day after voters gave the GOP unilateral control over the legislative branch and dealt a blow to Obama’s agenda after six years in office.
“Obviously, Republicans had a good night, and they deserve credit for running good campaigns,” the president said. But he emphasized that there was a message for both parties in the results — and the two more years of divided government they will produce: “The American people . . . expect the people they elect to work as hard as they do. They expect us to focus on their ambitions and not ours. They want us to get the job done. All of us in both parties have a responsibility to address that sentiment.”
Despite his nod to shared responsibility, however, Obama sounded less introspective and remorseful in the wake of the Democrats’ resounding midterm election defeat this year than he did four years ago, when he described the outcome as a “shellacking” for Democrats. The president noted that two-thirds of those eligible did not vote Tuesday, suggesting the lack of a broad GOP mandate, and he reminded reporters that the policies he has championed, including an increase in the minimum wage, were endorsed by voters in a number of states.
Obama pledged to work with his rivals on areas including taxes, infrastructure and trade, and the hopeful notes he sounded were matched by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), whose reelection puts him in line to become majority leader early next year. The president called McConnell on Wednesday to congratulate him on his victory and discuss areas of common ground, and Obama will meet with the bipartisan congressional leadership at the White House on Friday.

“We’ll see whether we can work with the president. I hope so,” McConnell said at a news conference in Kentucky. “We’re going to pass legislation. Some of it he may not like, but this gridlock and dysfunction can be ended.”
Even as both sides suggested an openness to new cooperation, there are several immediate stumbling blocks, including potential White House action on immigration, the ongoing standoff over the stalled Keystone XL oil-sands pipeline and Obama’s appointment of a new attorney general. All have the potential to quickly reignite the toxic political environment even before McConnell takes the Senate gavel.
Republicans vehemently oppose Obama’s pledge, first issued in the summer and reiterated Wednesday, that he intends to use his executive authority to stem deportations of some undocumented immigrants before the end of the year.
Obama has argued that he has been forced into taking executive action because Congress failed to act on the problem by approving a comprehensive legislative overhaul of border-control laws. But McConnell on Wednesday compared the idea to “waving a red flag in front of a bull.”
“I hope he won’t do that,” McConnell said. “That would poison the well.”
But Obama is facing a revolt among Hispanic supporters who have escalated their calls for the White House to provide relief for the nation’s more than 11 million undocumented immigrants. Obama’s decision in September to delay his administrative relief until after the election — at the request of Senate Democrats fearful of the electoral ramification in conservative states — intensified anger among immigration advocates.
“You lost the Senate anyway,” Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-Ill.) said at a news conference in Chicago on Wednesday. “The politics are over. The Senate has been lost. You’re still president of the United States of America, and it’s time for you to act boldly.”
The question for Obama is whether he feels the rout of Democrats — which Sen. Joe Manchin III (D-W.Va.) on Wednesday called “a real ass-whuppin’ ” — constrains or liberates him. Inside the West Wing, presidential advisers said the election results could give the president greater latitude to act unilaterally on immigration, because Republicans can pursue their own immigration bill if they do not like it.
Obama also made clear that he would resist any efforts by his opponents to undercut his landmark policies on health care and the environment. And McConnell acknowledged that Obama remains “a player” even as Republicans pursue their own initiatives.
“The veto pen is a pretty powerful tool,” McConnell said. But he urged Obama to follow the leads of Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, “who are good examples of accepting the government you have rather than fantasizing about the government you think you have.”
More broadly, White House officials were mapping out a new strategy even before the final results had come in Tuesday. In the weeks before Election Day, Chief of Staff Denis McDonough had been leading a planning process to determine what the administration could achieve during the rest of the year and in early 2015 if the GOP took control of the Senate, according to a senior administration official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal deliberations.
Senior Obama aides gathered for their regular 7:45 a.m. meeting with McDonough on Wednesday, and the session ran long as staff members discussed the dramatic shift in power on Capitol Hill. When Obama joined them in the Roosevelt Room nearly two hours later, the official said, the president made a point to remind them of the power of the office and emphasized that they still have an opportunity to improve the lives of the American public.
“The United States government is the most powerful force on the planet,” the president told them, the official recalled. Using the same phrase he would repeat later in his news conference, Obama told his aides he intended “to squeeze every last drop out of the last two years.”
Still, the election results were sobering for Obama. GOP candidates won seats currently held by Democrats in Arkansas, Colorado, Iowa, Montana, North Carolina, South Dakota and West Virginia — more than enough to seize control of the Senate for the first time since 2007. In a year in which several Republican governors initially appeared vulnerable, the party ended up winning gubernatorial races all across the country, including big blue-state surprises in Maryland and Massachusetts.
The poor showing has led some Obama allies to call for a shake-up of the White House staff, but the president and White House press secretary Josh Earnest played down the idea of a major staff overhaul.
Manchin said the responsibility for the Democrats’ trouncing “started at the White House and this administration, and it went all the way to leadership. . . . I think that people felt that the Democrats didn’t work, did not reach out, basically played politics all the way through.”
In recent months, Obama has set aside between 45 minutes to an hour each week to call lawmakers, according to aides, though the White House kept details of those conversations private to protect members’ confidence. But on Wednesday the White House released the names of 25 Republican and Democratic officials the president phoned Tuesday night, eager to telegraph the kind of outreach he will be pursuing in a changed political landscape.
The list included several Republican lawmakers Obama will probably be negotiating with in the next two years, including Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.) and James M. Inhofe (Okla.) and Sen.-elect Shelley Moore Capito (W.Va.), as well as Republican gubernatorial winners from Alabama, Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Ed O’Keefe contributed to this report. |||||Summary:
|
– Day one of the new political reality in DC yielded words of cooperation from the White House and soon-to-be Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, along with signals that the bipartisan friction wasn't magically going away. “I want you to know, I hear you," said President Obama, referring to the US electorate. But he said the message applied to Republicans as well, reports the New York Times. “The American people sent a message—one that they’ve sent for several elections now. ... They want us to get the job done.” Obama said he is "eager" to work with the GOP-controlled Congress, but emphasized that he remains ready to sidestep lawmakers on issues such as immigration and climate change through executive action, reports the Los Angeles Times. On immigration, for instance, he said would make good on a promise to act before the end of the year. “My executive actions not only do not prevent them from passing a law that supersedes those actions, but should be a spur for them to actually try to get something done.” Earlier, McConnell struck a "bipartisan note," in the words of the Washington Post. "When the American people choose divided government, I don’t think it means they don’t want us to do anything,” he said. “We ought to start with the view that maybe there are some things we can agree on to make progress for the country.” He promised there would be no government shutdowns or defaults on the national debt—but he also warned that executive action on immigration could seriously damage bipartisan relations.

Input: What would be an example of an negative review?
An example of an negative review: First of all, this place is much too loud and the seating too proximate for an upscale establishment. Literally the tables barely have enough room to squeeze between, and since you almost have to yell to converse, you easily hear your neighbors conversations. The seafood tower was excellent with the dry ice presentation and quality/taste of shrimp, lobster, crab that we had. So why two stars? We ordered an 8oz Kobe medallion filet, and instead were served something resembling a thin flat iron cut. The waiter specifically said they had the same steaks as Mastro's Steakhouse, so I figured even though this was Ocean Club, they would be competent in red meat. They were not. For a much better experience at this price point, I would suggest Dominick's across the street.
Input: What would be an example of an positive review?
An example of an positive review: Don't have a patio? No problem, just come hang out at common market. I ventured out on Sunday to one of my favorite places, Laurel Market South, and discovered it was closed. Plan B was hitting up common market down the street and, fortunately, I was not disappointed. This place has a plethora of personality and a very diverse selection of beverages. The deli was good - many veg options. I had the Olympian wrap and was alright with it - a little too salty for my tastes. I enjoyed this wrap along with a delicious Ginger ale in the sick courtyard they have. I feel like it would be a great spot to venture on a sat afternoon to relax and have a beer with friends.
Input: What would be an example of an negative review?
An example of an negative review: New manager, same problems since opening. Asked for nachos with cheese and chicken. First person in line rudely says there are no nachos so move down the line and we will get you some nachos. Second person in line, the manager trying to keep things together, he takes control but I still end up am waiting for 15 minutes in the dining room. He finally gets my nachos, melts the cheese and adds the chicken, then passes it down the line to a final third server. The third server gets yelled at to get my nachos done and he picks up someone else's cheese only nachos and asks me what I want on them. No one in the line has any idea what is going on in this restaurant, blind leading the blind. I correct his mistake because I am watching for a switch. I then ask him to "add pico," and he adds pinto beans. I can't start over so I take the order the way it is and leave. Total time from entry to exit is 45 minutes and there were only a few people in line! What can I say the place is poorly managed, it has been since it opened and it still is to this day. Better watch your food in this place because they don't have a clue.

An example of an negative review: In all my air travels, this airport ranks as 1 of the worse. In the era of portable electronic devices, I had a terrible time finding an outlet to charge my phone while I'm waiting to board my plane. After roaming the terminals I finally noticed a discreet sign that reads "charging station" pointing to a bank of 5 outlets next to a vending machine, & of course, they were all full. How annoying is that? 5 bloody outlets for the hoard of compressed humanity stuck between terminal 5 & 6. Damn the bloody management team!

Article:Police were contacted by the England and Wales Cricket Board, which says the matter has now been resolved.
The ECB will not seek further action "at this stage" against the Australian man involved, who has since apologised.
He had emailed the ECB, threatening to contact media in the UK and Australia.
"I am pleased this issue has now been brought to a swift conclusion," said ECB managing director Paul Downton.
The incident related to a brief relationship Morgan was said to have had with the Australian woman five years ago, the ECB said in a statement.
It added that the Australian man is the current partner of the woman, and had blamed "jealousy" when confronted by police.
Dublin-born Morgan, 28, was appointed England one-day captain after Alastair Cook was removed from his ODI position last month.
Morgan is currently in Australia with the England team, participating in a triangular series with Australia and India, a prelude to the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand starting on 14 February.
England's next match is against Australia in Hobart on Friday.

Write a question about the following article: The first United States occupation of the Dominican Republic lasted from 1916 to 1924. It was one of the many interventions in Latin America undertaken by the military forces of the United States in the 20th century. On May 13, 1916, Rear Admiral William B. Caperton forced the Dominican Republic's Secretary of War Desiderio Arias, who had seized power from Juan Isidro Jimenes Pereyra, to leave Santo Domingo by threatening the city with naval bombardment. The first major engagement occurred at Las Trencheras on June 27. There the Dominican rebels had dug trenches on two hills, one behind the other, blocking the road to Santiago. The field guns of Captain Chandler Campbell's 13th Company, along with a machine gun platoon, took position on a hill commanding the enemy trenches and opened fire. Under the cover of this fire, the Marine infantry charged the defenders' first line, covered until the last possible moment by the artillery barrage. The insurgents fled to their trenches on the second hill. They rallied there briefly, then broke and ran again as the American field guns resumed shelling. Within 45 minutes from the opening artillery shots, the Marines, at a cost to themselves of one killed and four wounded, had overrun the enemy positions. They found no dead or weapons in the trenches but later discovered five rebel bodies in the nearby woods. This engagement set the pattern for most Marine contacts with hostile forces in the Dominican Republic. Against Marine superiority in artillery, machine guns, small-unit maneuver, and individual training and marksmanship, no Dominican force could hold its ground.

Problem: BODY: Listening in by phone is so much better than traveling to these meetings. It greatly reduces one's exposure to the toxins of this process. 1. A learned expert on Secured Transactions from Mike's firm gave an opening address on the principles of granting and receiving the grantation of security interests. Almost completely irrelevant. The guy up and suggested that for a given transaction, the parties might consider giving a security interest in an office building, ie.real estate, as collateral. 2. A cannabalized EEI Credit Support Annex was tabled by Deedee Russo of Reliant and muddled through. The format was typically: Mike: "Okay guys, why don't you explain to me what you want." Member: "We think we need this...blah blah blah, " Mike: "Okay, we'll put that into our next draft and have a conference call in December and a meeting in January and remember, none of this is binding, its all optional." 3. At the very end, a lawyer from PacifiCorp managed to raise the vital issue and Mike got his hackles up very quickly. The PacifiCorp guy was basically saying that the WSPP was becoming more and more like the EEI and that this made it more and more difficult for parties to decide which agreement to use. His implication was that the WSPP should try to remain different or throw in the towel and be just like the EEI. Small reacted from a position of religion, dogmatically and loudly asserting that the two agreements were fundamentally different. Here is where he left himself open to the shining light of rational analysis: if someone, had the time, and we thought it mattered enough, the approach to take would be this: Dispassionate Spokesperson: A question has been raised: is the WSPP agreement becoming more or less like the EEI? To fairly answer this question one needs to look at all the changes that have been made by the WSPP in the last three years, comparing each change to the EEI agreement. (prepare comparison document). If we look at the evidence do we see convergence or divergence? The answer will be overwhelmingly convergence. If this objective study could be placed before the "Membership" it would speak for itself. Nobody would have to utter a word. The comparison document would do the job. If we are going to bother playing with these guys, this is what we should do. It would take some time, but if we circulated it to the membership and then merely raised the question of future direction, we might deal this tedious process a mortal blow. Believe it or not, the solution to this process is to follow the same process that went on when the King James Bible was put together in 1611. Various scholars took various views on how various Hebrew passages should be translated, and it took a committee of draftsmen, appointed and sent to Geneva by King James to pound out the form that has stood the test of time for centuries. The Joint Drafting Committee's time on the historical stage is finally arriving. I am going to talk to this Pacificorp fellow and Brenda Anderson at BPA and see what happens. ----cgy

Q: NYC mayor calls for halt to protests in the wake of NYPD officer executions - AOL.com
Embattled New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has called for all politics to be "put aside" while police officers and families of two slain cops mourn their killings.
Speaking to a Police Athletic League luncheon televised across the country, de Blasio said the fatal shootings of officers Rafael Ramos and Wenjian Liu were "an attack on all of us."
A visibly upset de Blasio appeared at the podium to a standing ovation only hours after
, which he said "experienced the worst possible moment.
"With no warning their loved one was gone ... Just one moment and then they were gone."
The mayor said consoling the families of murder victims is something he "is not used to [and] one of the most difficult elements" of his job.
"Officer Ramos and Officer Liu stood for all that was good in this society," de Blasio continued.
The Brooklyn Democrat appeared to backpedal from the recent hard stances taken against his police department.
"An attack on them was an attack on all of us, attack on our democracy, attack on our values, attack on every single New Yorker."
He appealed for everyone to see the attacks through the eyes of the slain officers' loved ones.
"It's a time for everyone to take stock," said de Blasio. "There are things that unite us ... we all see the world through the prism of our own families."
The best way to respect their mourning, said the mayor, is to put off the protesting and anti-police rhetoric for the time being.
"Our first obligation is to respect these families in mourning," he continued. "I think it's time to put aside political debates, put aside protests ... all things we will talk about in coming days."
De Blasio lamented that while most New Yorkers will be celebrating the upcoming holidays, two families will be preparing for funerals.
"I would ask that any organization that were planning gatherings for politics or protests. That could be for another day."
The mayor asked that people console police officers they see on the streets as they would the families of the fallen officers.
"Take a moment when you see a police officer to thank them and console them."
Romero leaves behind a wife and 13-year-old son. Liu was married only months ago.
"We will get through this," said de Blasio.
De Blasio's desperate pleas for unity come after he was asked by the police union to not attend the funerals of officers who die in the line of duty and also after a
circulated in the hours after the shootings claimed the mayor has "blood on his hands."
The police union has yet to respond to the mayor's comments.

AskMen released its list of the "Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2012" Tuesday, based on the results of polling both readers and office staff.

Sincerity and loyalty, all of those values that guys appreciate. We ask them to try to really assess the candidates as prospective girlfriends and rank them according to that. That's what really distinguishes the list from a straight-up 'hot women list.' "

In the winter of 1666, the Dutch created a strong anti-English alliance. On 26 January, Louis declared war. In February, Frederick III of Denmark did the same after having received a large sum. Then Brandenburg threatened to attack Münster from the east. The promised English subsidies having remained largely hypothetical, Von Galen made peace with the Republic in April at Cleves. By the spring of 1666, the Dutch had rebuilt their fleet with much heavier ships — thirty of them possessing more cannon than any Dutch ship in early 1665 — and threatened to join with the French.:71 Charles made a new peace offer in February, employing a French nobleman in Orange service, Henri Buat, as messenger. In it, he vaguely promised to moderate his demands if the Dutch would only appoint William in some responsible function and pay £200,000 in "indemnities". De Witt considered it a mere feint to create dissension among the Dutch and between them and France. A new confrontation was inevitable.

By. Neil Sears. PUBLISHED:. 12:00 EST, 27 December 2012. |. UPDATED:. 20:48 EST, 27 December 2012. Vladimir Putin enjoys posing bare-chested on horseback and with hunting rifles to perpetuate his macho image. In Britain, however, our leader has shown his Russian counterpart how a real action man does it. This was David Cameron yesterday as he got a full soaking during a race along a swollen icy stream in the Cotswolds. The Prime Minister sported a support bandage on his right knee as he took part in the fund-raising competition close to his constituency home in Witney, Oxfordshire. Anything you can do Mr Putin... David Cameron braved muddy conditions and cold water in the Chadlington Brook Run. Feat: David Cameron took part in the Great Brook Run on Thursday afternoon. Tough: The Prime Minister was forced to climb through a low tunnel as part of the annual race. Success: Mr Cameron posed with his wife Samantha after receiving a medal for completing the race. The Great Brook Run requires. competitors to cover a course just over a mile long, and this year. involved considerably more water than usual thanks to recent heavy rain. The stream close to the village of. Chadlington, known as the Great Brook, was raging so much this year that. children normally allowed to compete were barred from wading through. some sections. Cut: The Prime Minister's knee support did not stop him sustaining a nasty-looking graze on his shin. Ready to go: Mr Cameron rubbed his hands in anticipation at the start line of the race. Victory! The exhausted politician was still happy to pose for photographs at the end of the race. Support: Well-wishers cheered on the Prime Minister as they took pictures of his exploits. Hilarity: The fun race is intended as a charity fund-raiser and ends at a local pub. Mr Cameron, however, was able to secure plenty of. photographs of himself taming the torrent. The Prime Minister finished 46th out. of a field of 109 (a few places behind a man dressed as Father. Christmas) with a time of 18 minutes, 23 seconds. He was greeted by wife Samantha at the. end of the run at the Tite Inn. After asking his wife if she had any. money he announced he was planning to have a burger to celebrate. At the end of the race, Mr Cameron was presented with the medal that is given to all competitors. The Great Brook Run, which was first held in 2006, starts and ends at the Tite Inn in Chadlington and aims to raise funds for local good causes. This year, the £5 entry fee was donated to the Chadlington Memorial Hall. Mr Cameron may have been the most famous competitor in this year's race, but he was not the only well-known runner - Olympic medallist hockey player Beth Storry was also invited to run in the race. Joining in: This is the third time Mr Cameron has taken part in the Great Brook Run. Evasive action: The race may not be very long, but runners must brave a cold and muddy stream. Laid-back: He may be the most powerful man in the country, but Mr Cameron sported casual lycra and a pair of shorts nonetheless. Tired out: The Prime Minister relaxed with a fellow competitor after reaching the finishing line. Ice cold: Russia's Prime Minister Vladimir Putin swims in a cold lake during a vacation in southern Siberia.
