Dhaka, Bangladesh (CNN) -- Dozens of people were injured in Bangladesh as riot police clashed with thousands of Islamists protesting women's rights, authorities and witnesses said. The protesters damaged buses and cars Monday, setting several on fire, while police used clubs and tear gas to disperse the Islamists, who were wearing skullcaps and burial cloths. "We'll die for the cause of Islam, but (will) not allow the government to disrespect (the) Quran," one protester shouted during the demonstration near the national mosque in downtown Dhaka. The government recently announced its National Women Development Policy 2011, which ensures women expanded rights in property and education. The protesters said the policy is against the Quran. Fazlul Huq Amini, leader of a coalition of Islamic groups called the Islami Oikya Jote, asked his followers to take to the streets to protest the policy. Amini said the Quran defines how much property a woman should inherit, and the government should not allow women more than that. "It's against the principle of the Quran, and we'll resist it at any cost," Amini said. Thousands of students in madrassas, or Islamic schools, carried sticks and logs as they marched the streets. Protests also took place in the southern port city of Chittagong and several other areas. Business activities ceased, and schools remained closed because of fears of violence. "We had sufficient security measures to avert any violent incidents," said Benazir Ahmed, Dhaka's police chief. The government said it had done nothing against the Quran. "Amini is misleading the people," said government spokesman Mohammad Shahjahan Miah. Earlier on Monday, a madrassa student was shot to death in western Jessore district when police opened fire on the protesters. Amini, a former lawmaker, said the protests will continue until the policy is scrapped. The main opposition Bangladesh Nationalist Party lent support to the protests. Summarize this article.

By . Associated Press . PUBLISHED: . 07:43 EST, 27 April 2012 . \| . UPDATED: . 08:05 EST, 27 April 2012 . The California dairy cow found to have mad cow disease had been euthanized after it became lame and started lying down, federal officials revealed in their latest update on the discovery. The U.S. Department of Agriculture also said Thursday that the animal was 10 years and seven months old. A spokesman for U.S. Rep. Devin Nunes of California had said Wednesday that the sick cow was 5 years old. It came from a dairy farm in Tulare County, the nation's No. 1 dairy-producing county. Euthanized: A cow was killed after it was found to have mad cow disease . The USDA didn't elaborate on the cow's symptoms other than to say it was 'humanely euthanized after it developed lameness and became recumbent'. Outward signs of the disease can include unsteadiness and incoordination. Routine testing at a transfer facility showed the dead Holstein, which was destined for a rendering plant, had mad cow disease, or bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Rendering plants deal with 'leftover' parts of cows that aren't suitable for human consumption - such as the hair and hooves. In the recent 'pink slime' scandal a small amount of rendered meat was found to have been used in some foods. The results were announced Tuesday. It was the fourth case of mad cow disease ever discovered in the U.S. Unsteady: The 10-year-old cow was killed after it became lame and started lying down . Animals at greater risk for the disease include those with symptoms of neurological disease, 'downer' animals at slaughterhouses, animals that die at dairies or cattle ranches for unknown reasons, and cows more than 2 1/2 years old, because BSE occurs in older cows. U.S. health officials say there is no risk to the food supply, as the California cow was never destined for the meat market but on Thursday Indonesia became the first country to suspend imports of U.S. beef following the discovery of the infected cow. On Friday government officials in South Korea were carrying out checks on all U.S. imports. The infected cow is believed to have developed 'atypical' BSE from a random mutation, something that scientists know happens occasionally. Suspicious: South Korean government inspectors check the imported U.S. beef at a cold storage on Friday. On Thursday Indonesia became the first country to suspend imports of U.S. beef . Somehow, a protein the body normally harbors folds into an abnormal shape called a prion, setting off a chain reaction of misfolds that eventually kills brain cells. In other countries, BSE's spread through herds was blamed on making cattle feed using recycled meat and bone meal from infected cows, so the U.S. has long banned feed containing such material. The last two cases found in the U.S. were atypical as well. Summarize this article. Cow from top dairy-producing county was 10 years old when it was euthanized . Department of Agriculture: The killing was 'humane' 'No risk to food supply' as cow was intended for rendering plant, not the meat market . Indonesia has banned U.S. imports while South Korea is carrying out intensive checks . Spread of BSE blamed on cattle being fed bone meal from infected cows .
Pet owners wanting to take their animals abroad will have to complete reams of extra paperwork due to tough new measures to prevent smugglers from Eastern Europe bringing in illegal puppies which may have rabies. Vets around the country have reported dogs coming in to Britain from countries such as Lithuania, Hungary and Slovakia with fake papers and without being vaccinated against the virulent disease. UK port controls identified 376 dogs arriving with faulty paperwork last year, up from 89 in 2010. The increased trade has been fuelled by demand for cheap pedigree puppies sold for up to £300 on the internet instead of the £500 to £1,200 asked by some breeders in Britain. Talulah the puppy had to go into quarantine after it was discovered he had been illegally smuggled into the country from Lithuania . Now Ministers have approved a secure new pet passport to prevent criminals falsifying information. It follows alarm last October when two puppies contracted rabies in Holland within a week of being imported from Bulgaria. From December, new pet passports will have a unique number printed on every page and the section recording the pet’s microchip number and the date of the rabies vaccine will be laminated to help prevent fraud. The name, address and contact details of the vet will also be included. Puppies travelling into Britain and the rest of the EU will have to be at least 15 weeks old. A 12-week minimum age for puppies to be vaccinated against rabies is being introduced and pets must wait three weeks before travelling. Twiglet the Irish Terrier had no problems returning to the UK after a trip to the continent as he had his Pet Passport . For the first time, pets will also have to be checked as they cross borders on their way to the UK.The new royal blue passports will include the date the pet was vaccinated against rabies, the date valid for travel and the vaccine expiry date. Pets must be revaccinated every five years to qualify for a passport. Owners who already have valid pet passports are not required to buy a new one. Valerie John, from West Drayton, West London, last month paid £700 for her pug Tallulah from what she thought was an established breeder in Hertfordshire, only to discover the dog was from Lithuania. She said: ‘The vet spotted straight away the papers were fake. Tallulah was only seven or eight weeks old and too young to have a rabies vaccination so had to go into quarantine, which is going to cost £1,100.’ Summarize this article. One dog a day is being caught traveling into the UK on a forged passport . Breeders from Lithuania, Hungary and Slovakia are smuggling dogs with fake documents . New 'secure' puppy passports planned to stop the illegal trade in pedigree dogs .
Promise: BBC director of television Danny Cohen has pledged to include more women on comedy panel shows . All-male comedy panel shows will be consigned to the history books, after BBC bosses told producers that female guests must now be involved with the programmes. Danny Cohen, BBC director of television, this week promised a better gender mix on such shows as Have I Got News For You, Mock The Week and Never Mind the Buzzcocks, which typically comprise all-male panels. The move is part of a drive by the BBC Trust to address gender imbalance on our television screens. In December BBC director general Tony Hall was tasked with getting more women on air 'as a matter of urgency'. Cohen has been looking for simple ways to achieve this and it is understood comedy panel shows were top of his list. BBC entertainment controller Mark Linsey said: 'Comedy panel shows are always better for having a good mix of people and of course that must include women. 'I’m making it clear to production teams that there’s just no excuse for delivering all male guest lists.' The changes have come about following the publication of a report last year, which was commissioned by the BBC for the Cultural Diversity Network. BBC2’s QI and Mock the Week came under fire for 'rarely having women represented or only having "token women" on their programmes.' Female comedians, including Victoria Wood, have in the past criticised BBC panel shows for being a 'male preserve'. In 2011, Wood said of panel shows: 'I don’t . like them. They are a male preserve. That’s all right, that’s how they . are. It is more of a male characteristic to want to top somebody’s . gags.’ Meanwhile, Lee Mack, who is a team captain on BBC1’s Would I Lie To You?, said men are better . suited to being stand-up comedians as they are more competitive - and therefore dominate TV panel shows as a result. Speaking on Desert Island Discs last September, Mack said: ‘When . men sit around and talk, they are very competitive. One person will . tell an anecdote and the next person will try to top that. When you get . six women together, they share a lot more. Under fire: Shows such as Would I Lie To You? featuring David Mitchell, Rob Brydon and Lee Mack have been criticised for all-male panels . 'They . will be far more interested in what the other person has to say. The . conservation is more interactive and less about individually showing . off.’ The 45-year-old, who . wrote and starred in the BBC1 sitcom Not Going Out, added: ‘The problem . isn’t that there’s not enough women in panel games. 'The problem is . there’s not enough women in comedy in general.’ Criticism: Victoria Wood has said in the past that BBC's panel shows are a 'male preserve' Summarize this article.

A mother who was sent death threats by so-called internet ‘trolls’ has won a landmark legal case against Facebook. Nicola Brookes was tormented for months by anonymous internet bullies after she left an innocent message of support for an X Factor contestant on the social networking site. She went to police to make a complaint but claimed officers told her to go home. Months of torment: Nicola Brookes was targeted by internet trolls after she messaged her support for X Factor star Frankie Cocozza . Now she has won a legal order forcing Facebook to disclose the identities of the trolls. It is the first time an individual has won such an order and Miss Brookes, 45, hopes to pursue private prosecutions against those responsible for her months of ‘vicious and depraved’ abuse. Charities said the High Court ruling sent a message to the cyber bullies that their anonymity can be stripped away, leaving them open to prosecution. Campaigners warned that online bullying has become the ‘weapon of choice’ among children and teenagers, with police and prosecutors failing to keep pace with the changes in technology. Miss Brookes’s ordeal began last November when her daughter told her that an X Factor contestant, Frankie Cocozza, had received hate mail on Facebook. Stung by the cruelty, the mother left a message on his Facebook page, saying simply: ‘Keep your chin up, Frankie, they’ll move on to someone else soon.’ How it started: Nicola's support for X Factor's Frankie Cocozza led to a horrid hate-campaign against her . Within minutes bullies on the site turned on her, writing vile abuse including ‘Your [sic] a desperate pedo b**’ and ‘Ur [sic] a **ing dog’. More than 100 cruel messages were left in just 24 hours. Miss Brookes said: ‘Facebook users began deliberately targeting me, writing under my comment that I was a paedophile and hoping that I would die.’ Worse followed when an online bully set up a fake Facebook profile in Miss Brookes’ name, with her photo and personal email address, and used it to send explicit messages to thousands of children, some as young as nine. Some messages falsely described her as a drug dealer, a prostitute and a paedophile and known child abuser, and others attempted to ‘befriend’ young girls. On Mother’s Day this year, trolls published the single mother’s home address in Brighton. Horrified, she reported the abuse to Facebook and the police, but said officers did nothing to help her. She said one officer told her she could leave a dossier of evidence ‘but we won’t read it’. Frustrated by their response Miss Brookes contacted lawyers and began legal action to force Facebook to reveal details about her anonymous tormentors. Last week the High Court granted an order compelling the site to disclose the bullies’ names, email addresses and their computers’ internet protocol (IP) addresses, which can be used to determine a computer’s location. Miss Brookes said: ‘These abusers are not just random people who have nothing better to do with their time. ‘These are organised people who have been operating on Facebook for years. ‘I’m going for the strongest possible prosecution against these people. I want them exposed.’ Last month, a survey found that just over half of all internet users have received abuse online or by text message. Only a minority report the abuse to police as many believe it will not be taken seriously. Jibes: Nicola Brookes has her picture posted on Facebook - and someone suggests she has been sending round pictures of child abuse . Offensive: Some more of the abuse that went on Facebook. This page formed part of the evidence that Nicola's solicitors presented to the High Court . Prosecutions under the Malicious Communications Act, which makes it illegal to send grossly offensive messages, have increased three-fold since 2004. There were almost 900 such prosecutions last year but prosecutors accept that only a minority of trolls are brought to justice. Miss Brookes has remained on Facebook despite the abuse and said she was determined not to be bullied into quitting the site. Her legal action would have cost her up to £5,000 but her solicitors Bains Cohen agreed to take the case for free because of her horrific treatment. Lawyer Rupinder Bains said Facebook had not contested the action and had agreed to hand over the information within six weeks. Four individuals were believed to have led the abuse against Miss Brookes and her lawyers will consider private prosecutions against them. If their Facebook accounts were set up using fake names and email addresses, lawyers will have to return to court and win similar orders against the trolls’ internet service providers, to get the bill-payers’ addresses. Rise of the sick internet trolls . Vile: Ms Brookes shows off print outs of some of the abuse she suffered online at the hands of tormenters . Abuse: A false Facebook page that was set-up for Nicola Brookes by the cyber bullies . Mr Bains said: ‘It should have been the police’s job to get these details from Facebook but they have completely failed in their responsibility to do that.’ Facebook said it reveals its users’ names and email addresses only if a court orders it to do so. A spokesman said: ‘There is no place for harassment on Facebook, but unfortunately a small minority of malicious individuals exist online, just as they do offline. We respect our legal obligations and work with law enforcement to ensure such people are brought to justice.’ Suzie Hayman, of Bullying UK, said: ‘Bullies hide behind the anonymity of the internet and they should not be able to do so. You can’t be anonymous if you say something hurtful in the office or the schoolyard and people need to learn you can’t be anonymous on the internet either.’ Sussex Police said they had asked Facebook to remove any abusive posts about Miss Brookes and insisted they were investigating the case. A spokesman said: ‘We need to gather evidence to prove who the person is for a successful prosecution to take place.’ Insults: Here someone posted Nicola's home address in Brighton where she lives alone (left) while 'Cuthbert Bollingsworth-Smythe' posts more offensive messages . Summarize this article. Nicola Brookes, 45, was targeted by internet trolls after posting message of support for X-Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza . The mother, who doesn't even watch X-Factor, wrote message supporting singer on his official Facebook page after her daughter showed her his page . Abusers created fake profile with her picture and posted sick messages to lure young girls . The single mother is the first person ever to bring a court case privately to track down those who abused her . She was forced to take action after police refused to intervene . Despite the abuse, Nicola is STILL on Facebook .

Passage: A group of grifters rip off their latest mark and celebrate, while de facto leader of the group Jake Vig (Edward Burns) explains the art of the con. When one of the four (Louis Lombardi) is found shot to death, the other three learn that the latest money they stole actually belonged to a local L.A. crime lord called The King (Dustin Hoffman). Jake proposes that the grifters work for the King and steal money from Morgan Price (Robert Forster), a rival who owns a bank. Jake enlists the aid of his remaining partners, Gordo (Paul Giamatti) and Miles (Brian Van Holt), and also convinces an independent con artist named Lily (Rachel Weisz) to round out their foursome. The King, a ruthless killer who suffers from ADHD, demands that one of his men, Lupus (Franky G), also come along. The con involves bribing a bank vice president into wiring money offshore. The plan hits a snag when Special Agent Gunther Butan (Andy García) shows up in L.A., looking to finally bust Jake, whom he has followed for years. Butan forces corrupt LAPD detectives Omar Manzano (Luis Guzmán) and Lloyd Whitworth (Donal Logue) to switch their allegiance from Jake to him. After hearing about Butan's arrival, a nervous Jake pulls the plug on the whole con. He screams at Lily, making her walk out. Lupus gets Jake to reconsider nixing the con, hinting that The King will torture and kill the grifters if the plan falls short. The con is back on, though now without Lily's help. The bribed bank VP wires the money to Gordo in Belize. Gordo brings it to Ontario Airport, where he is met by both Butan and The King's men, both sides after the $5 million in a duffle bag. Butan arrests The King and confiscates the money. Gordo disappears. Lupus, thinking the King has the money, reveals he was the one who killed Jake's grifter friend. Lupus holds Jake at gunpoint, but is shot by Travis (Morris Chestnut), a henchman for Morgan Price. It turns out that when Lily walked out, she went straight to Price himself and revealed the entire con, which was taking place that minute. Price told Travis to locate Jake and find out exactly how the con was engineered, to stop such a thing from ever happening again. Travis takes Jake to an abandoned lot and forces him to explain the entire story. A furious Lily takes out a gun and kills Jake. Travis demands that he and Lily both disappear immediately. Minutes later, Butan arrives in a car and Jake sits up from a pool of blood, unharmed. The final parts of the con are revealed. Lily's "quitting" was faked—a set-up to confuse Lupus. Butan is actually an old confidant of Jake's. He managed to "confiscate" the money and arrest The King at the same time. Butan has the money and it's split five ways. Jake was wearing squibs to fake his own death in the lot. In the end, everyone was in on everything except for The King and Lupus (the first marks), Price and Travis (the second, bigger marks), and the two corrupt LAPD detectives, who have been arrested. The four grifters reunite and celebrate. Question: What illness does The King suffer from? Answer: ADHD
Question: Gwendolyn can read 200 sentences of a book in 1 hour. She just brought a book from the library, having 20 paragraphs per page. What's the total time Gwendolyn will take to read the book if each paragraph has 10 sentences and the book has 50 pages? Answer: Gwendolyn just brought a book from the library, having 20 paragraphs per page, and since the book has 50 pages, the number of paragraphs in the book is 5020=<<5020=1000>>1000 paragraphs. If each paragraph has 10 sentences, the book's number of sentences is 100010=<<100010=10000>>10000 sentences. Since Gwendolyn can read 200 sentences of a book in 1 hour, she will read 10000 sentences in 10000/200=<<10000/200=50>>50 hours. The answer is 50.

(CNN) -- They're young, fabulously wealthy and have blue blood coursing through their veins. Meet the "20 Hottest Young Royals" in the world, compiled by influential fortune tracker, Forbes magazine. Britain's Prince William has been named "Hottest Young Royal" in the world by Forbes magazine. The magazine used the "winning combinations of looks, money, and popularity on the Web" to come up with the list, it says. Only unmarried royals under the age of 35 were considered. The Forbes list proved to be a Royal knockout for British royalty. They came in the top four of hottest young royals in the world. With his piercing blue eyes and lantern jaw, reminiscent of a movie star, Britain's Prince William, perhaps unsurprisingly, came in at Number 1. The magazine describes him as having: "international intrigue and unparalleled media attention," combined with a "graceful public persona." Although his crown slipped somewhat recently when he was accused of abusing his newly-acquired flying skills by "joyriding." Watch who people on the street think is the hottest » . His relationship with girlfriend Kate Middleton is the subject of feverish speculation and an engagement announcement is eagerly anticipated by the British media. Seemingly always languishing in William's shadow, his brother, Prince Harry, placed second on the list. Harry has always been known as the "bad boy prince" because of some rather unroyal behavior, such as brawling with paparazzi outside nightclubs and going to a fancy dress party dressed in Nazi regalia. However, he has latterly re-invented himself as the "Hero prince" after a tour of duty in Afghanistan fighting the Taliban in March. Sound off: Is Prince William the world's hottest young royal? William and Harry's cousins Zara Phillips and Princess Beatrice also came in at No. 3 and 4 respectively. The inclusion in the list should be good news for Princess Beatrice, who recently attracted unkind comments from Britain's newspaper columnists about her curvy figure and her dress sense. The sight of Beatrice, 19, pictured on holiday in a bikini proved too much for Daily Mail newspaper columnist Allison Pearson, who wrote: "Can't someone buy that girl a sarong? For her sake, as well as ours." This led to an angry counterattack from Beatrice's mum, Sarah Ferguson, who thundered at a news conference to promote a reality show: "Touch me, fine, but don't touch my children." The 20 featured on the list represent almost $60 billion in wealth and 15 royal lineages from around the world-- including some rather obscure names that even the most ardent royalist might be hard pushed to recognize. Princess Sikhanyiso of Swaziland anyone? Coming in at Number 20, the eldest daughter of King Mswati III of Swaziland, Africa's last absolute monarch, is currently a speech and drama major at Biola University in California. A controversial princess who raises eyebrows in her homeland with her Western-style clothes and a decision to hold a drinking party to celebrate the end of a chastity decree in 2005 resulted in a beating with a stick. Fourth in line to the Monaco throne, Charlotte Casiraghi, is the only non-Brit to make it into the top 5. A style icon, who is known for her impeccable taste in fashion and her good looks--much like her grandmother, Hollywood icon, Grace Kelly and mother Princess Caroline. Her brother, party prince Andrea Casiraghi, also makes an appearance on the list at Number 10. But it seems even his Hollywood lineage -- as well as his sun-kissed surfer looks were not enough to give William and Harry a run for their money in the pin-up stakes. Summarize this article. Prince William tops list of 'Hottest Royal' list compiled by Forbes magazine . British young royals came in top four spot of the list .

Why should I rent my house to you? Answer: Thank you again for speaking with me yesterday about the lovely home at 2225 Brittan Avenue, and for showing it to my dad, and to my boyfriend on Sunday. As I mentioned, we are very interested in leasing this property and I hope you will share this with the letter with the individuals who are leasing it out. My parents live on Main Street, and are deeply engaged in the community, whether it is organizing the annual Main Street block party, bringing an elderly neighbor a home cooked meal, or sharing gardening tips and seedlings with local kids. Our family of four also have the benefit of being engaged in the community, and knowing the neighborhood well. My parents have lived here since 2007, and the boys and I lived with them for the first seven years of my youngest son’s life. We are thrilled at the opportunity to live close enough to run down the street for dinner a few times a week, see the neighbors we’ve known for 15 years, plus the fact that my parents drive the boys to school a few times a week. As discussed, we have two very well-behaved and small (under 10 lbs) cats we adopted last year. They are the light of our lives and provide us with lots of cuddles and laughs. The boys especially would be very sad to leave them behind, so we hope that a small exception could be made to have them join us at 2225 Brittan Ave. Beyond the location, we love the house, with the wood floors and all the light. And the boys are very excited to each have their own rooms! We hope that you will consider our family for the home. We've attached applications, driver's licenses, pay stubs, and credit reports. In order to afford the cost of living closer, my dad will be acting as Grantor. We would be more than happy to put down our deposit upon approval with a move-in date of 3/15/22. Please let us know if you need any additional information to make your decision, and we look forward to hearing from you.

LONDON, England (CNN) -- For the 2.5 million people who have fled the four-year conflict in war-torn Darfur, refugee camps in eastern Chad hold the promise of a safe haven. Women and girls have to make perilous journeys outside their refugee camps to find firewood . But, once there, it's the women refugees' role to find wood and water. To do this, they have to leave the camps and walk for many miles, putting their very lives at risk. Now, a small nonprofit organization is cutting the dangers faced by these women, by helping them to move away from firewood and cook using cardboard, tinfoil and the power of the sun. And as well as saving lives, they're offering refugees hope, independence and economic opportunity. A month's wood supply "lasts five days" The World Food Program gives Darfur refugees a maize/soy mixture, beans, lentils, salt, oil and firewood. But a month's wood ration only lasts five days, so to cook this food, women are forced to forage for fuel -- and that's a dangerous business. When they leave the relative safety of the camps, they are vulnerable to beatings, rape and murder at the hands of roving Janjaweed patrols and local villagers, with whom they compete for scanty resources. When Californian nonprofit Jewish World Watch heard about the dangers these Darfur refugees face, they were determined to act. Their co-founder and president, Janice Kamenir-Reznik, told CNN, "These women have survived onslaughts on their villages and hundreds of miles of walking to get to a camp. That they should be vulnerable there seemed terrible." Jewish World Watch saw that if they could cut the number of trips that women had to make outside the camps, they should see a concomitant fall in violent attacks. Solar cooking seemed the solution. Without forces of their own on the ground, the charity decided to fund a partner to run a trial. But when they approached the large relief organizations, they received a lukewarm response: the cultural and educational challenges involved in solar cooking were felt to be insurmountable. Kamenir-Reznik and her colleagues were certain solar cooking would work in the camps, and they persisted. "If you protected your daughter from having to walk 20 miles to find wood and give her body to violence in the process, wouldn't you think that's worth it?" she told CNN. "What do people think, that these people don't care about their daughters as much as you and I care about ours? They do what they have to for survival, but that doesn't mean they like it." Eventually, Jewish World Watch were put in touch with KoZon, a small Dutch nonprofit who were carrying out a pilot in Iridimi camp, home to 17,000 refugees. In May 2006, the Iridimi project launched. "It can't be hot: there has been no fire." At project manager Derk Rijks's first demonstration in Iridimi, Rijks's 40-strong female audience was skeptical. He set up the cooker, then waited until the food was ready. "I took the oldest, most respected mama I could find in the group," he recalls. "I said, 'Mama, will you open the bag and take the pot out?' I offered her my handkerchief and said, 'Take this, because the pot will be hot.' She looked at me and said, 'No, it can't be hot: there has been no fire.' I said, 'Mama, I warn you, it is very hot. You will burn yourself.' She said, 'It can't be hot.' She opened the bag, put her hand on the pot and jumped back two meters. Then she looked at me and said, 'I have two hands! I want two handkerchiefs!'" The women were incredulous that solar cooking had worked. Rijks offered to teach them how to cook their food using solar the following day, but he still had to promise them his rations as a guarantee in case it didn't work. It did. The women in Iridimi camp have now embraced solar cooking wholeheartedly, even converting their menfolk, who were skeptical initially because the food tasted different. Cardboard and tinfoil . Rijks's team ships in the cardboard and aluminum foil that makes the cookers. The refugees use Arabic gum as a glue, which they buy in Chad -- and that's all they need. And he is keen that the refugees own and run the project independently. "Our only jobs are to show it once or twice, train the auxiliary trainers and train the artisans. It is now their project," he said. The climate in Chad allows the women in Iridimi camp to cook on solar for about 330 days per year. They still have to use wood stoves in the mornings, but lunch is cooked using solar, as is the evening meal, which is kept warm in insulated baskets until it's needed. Over 18 months, all women in the Iridimi camp over the age of 15 have been trained and 10,000 cookers have been distributed. And when the women at nearby Touloum camp heard about the solar cookers at Iridimi, they asked if the project could be extended. That's happening shortly: Rijks estimates that the women in Touloum will be cooking with solar within a year and a half. Eventually, Jewish World Watch hopes to extend the project to a third camp, as well as funding the ongoing projects at Iridimi and Touloum -- the cookers have to be replaced every few months. Trips to find firewood "cut by three quarters" Rijks reports that the number of trips women make to find firewood has fallen by about three quarters. But that's not the only advantage. Now that the women don't have to sit by smoky fires constantly stirring their food, they are healthier and have more free time to develop cottage industries, like vegetable gardening and craftwork. The gardens are irrigated using recycled water from the showers. Some women weave insulation baskets; others make protective bags to carry the cookers. Rijks has recently struck a deal with the trucks and the Air France planes that bring supplies to the camp to take back the women's handicrafts for sale in the West. What will the future hold for these refugees? The message from the women at Iridimi is of hope, one day. "They all say, 'When we go back home, we'll teach this to all the women in our village and they will all do solar cooking,'" Rijks told CNN. "They're convinced they're going home." Rijks himself is less sure. "I know it won't be immediate but I hope that the refugees can go back in a few years," he said. "It will be an immeasurable shame on the West if we couldn't arrange that." A catalyst for the future . As for solar cooking, Janice Kamenir-Reznik hopes that the success of their project will inspire others. "I would hope that our little project was a catalyst for the UN High Commission for Refugees to wean the relief organizations off wood and onto solar cooking," she said. "That's our ultimate dream." "The larger organizations tend to see things a little bit more rigidly: find a solution to cook today's dinner," she continued. "But the problem's not an instant one to solve. You don't just keep providing the firewood for today's dinner. You build for the future." And back in Iridimi camp, the ray of hope that solar cooking is bringing to some of the world's most destitute people -- along with personal safety, improved health and entrepreneurial opportunity -- will continue to shine. ..............................

Passage: Shampoo is set during a 24-hour period in 1968, on the eve of a presidential election that would result in Richard Nixon's election to the American presidency. George Roundy is a successful Beverly Hills hairdresser, whose occupation and charisma have provided him the perfect platform from which to meet and have sex with beautiful women, including his current girlfriend Jill. Despite this, George is dissatisfied with his professional life; he is clearly the creative star of the salon, but is forced to play second fiddle to Norman, the "nickel-and-diming" mediocre hairdresser who owns the place. He dreams of setting up his own salon business, but lacking the cash to do so, turns to wealthy lover Felicia and her unsuspecting husband Lester to bankroll him. George's meeting with Lester supplies a second secret for him to keep from his would-be benefactor: Lester's current mistress, Jackie, is George's former girlfriend, perhaps the most serious relationship he has ever had. Lester, who assumes George is gay, invites him to escort Jackie to a Republican Party election night soiree, at which George finds himself in the same room as a number of present and former sexual partners. The principals adjourn to a posh counterculture party, and the night quickly descends into drugs, alcohol and sexual indulgence. In the film's dramatic climax, Lester and Jill happen upon George and Jackie having vigorous sex on a kitchen floor. Just before their identities are revealed, an impressed Lester exclaims: "That's what I call fucking! Am I right, or am I right?" When Jill recognizes the writhing couple, she throws a chair at them; as George backpedals, trying to placate Jill, Jackie sees him for the cad he is, and flees. George realizes that Jackie is his true love and proposes to her. By then it is too late: Jackie announces that Lester is divorcing Felicia and taking Jackie to Acapulco. With Felicia gone, Jill gone, and now Jackie gone, the film thus pairs sexual revelation with George's deeper moral development, but ends bleakly for the protagonist, despite his epiphany. Question: Who is the creative star at George's salon? Answer: George

Passage: In 1987, wealthy New York investment banker Patrick Bateman's life revolves around dining at trendy restaurants while keeping up appearances for his fiancĂŠe Evelyn and for his circle of wealthy and shallow associates, most of whom he dislikes. Bateman describes the material accoutrements of his lifestyle, including his daily morning exercise and beautification routine. He also discusses his music collection, with performers such as Huey Lewis and the News, Phil Collins, and Whitney Houston. His focus on a lavish lifestyle is also evident by his taste in expensive designer clothing and his luxurious apartment. Bateman and his associates flaunt their business cards in a display of vanity. Enraged by the superiority of co-worker Paul Allen's card, Bateman murders a homeless man and kills the man's dog. At a Christmas party, Bateman makes plans to have dinner with Paul, with Paul mistaking Bateman for another coworker, Marcus Halberstram. Bateman gets Paul drunk and lures him back to his apartment. While playing "Hip to Be Square" on the stereo, explaining to Paul his opinion and interpretation of the song, and while wearing a rain coat, Bateman ambushes Paul and murders him with an axe. He disposes of Paul's body, then goes to Paul's apartment to stage the situation so that others believe Paul has run off to London. Bateman is later interviewed about Paul's disappearance in his office by private detective Donald Kimball, hired by Paul's family. During the night, Bateman takes two prostitutes, whom he names Christie and Sabrina, to his apartment and explains to them the improvement he saw in the band Genesis after they moved away from progressive rock toward a more pop rock sound beginning with the album Duke. After they have sex, Bateman tells them to stay, while taking out instruments he uses for torture. In the next scene, the prostitutes leave his apartment bruised and bloodied. The next day, Bateman's colleague Luis Carruthers reveals his new business card. Bateman tries to kill Luis in the restroom of an expensive restaurant, but cannot bring himself to strangle him. Luis mistakes the attempted murder for a sexual advance and declares his love for Bateman, who flees in disgust. After murdering a model, Bateman invites his secretary, Jean, to dinner, suggesting she meet him at his apartment for drinks beforehand. When Jean arrives, Bateman, unbeknownst to her, holds a nailgun to the back of her head while the two converse. When he receives an answering machine message from his fiancĂŠe, he asks Jean to leave. Kimball meets Bateman for lunch and tells him he is not under suspicion. Bateman has a threesome with his friend Elizabeth and Christie at Paul's apartment. Bateman kills Elizabeth during sex, and Christie runs, discovering multiple female corpses as she searches for an exit. She is chased by a naked Bateman wielding a chainsaw, and as she is running down the stairs of Paul's apartment building, is killed by the chainsaw which Bateman drops from several levels above her. Bateman breaks off his engagement with Evelyn. That night, as he uses an ATM, he finds a stray kitten; the ATM displays the text "feed me a stray cat". As he prepares to shoot the cat, a woman sees him and tries to stop him; he shoots her and lets the cat go free. A police chase ensues, but Bateman destroys the police cars by shooting their gas tanks. Fleeing to his office, Bateman enters the wrong office building, where he murders a security guard and a janitor. In his office, Bateman calls his lawyer Harold and frantically leaves a lengthy confession on Harold's answering machine. The following morning, Bateman visits Paul's apartment, expecting it to be full of decomposing bodies and in the middle of a police investigation, but it is vacant and for sale. The real estate broker tells him to leave. As Bateman goes to meet with his colleagues and lawyer for lunch, Jean finds detailed drawings of murder, mutilation, and rape in Bateman's office journal to her disgust and sympathy. Bateman sees Harold at a restaurant and tries to convince him that he is a serial killer relating to the phone message he left the other night. Harold mistakes Patrick for another colleague and laughs off the phone message confession as a joke, saying he had dinner with Paul in London days earlier. A confused Bateman returns to his friends and in a final voice-over narration, he realizes he will continue to escape the punishment he deserves, that there has been no catharsis, and that his confession has meant nothing. Question: What does Bateman do to the prostitutes after having sex with them? Answer: Beats and tortures them

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

Long periods of darkness have traditionally been associated with depression. But now a study says that high levels of sunshine - at least in the short term - are linked to higher suicide rates. While a cause is not known, it's thought that the light could interact with the mood-altering neurotransmitter serotonin, which affects the mood of both humans and animals. Researchers from the University of Vienna have found a correlation between sunshine hours and suicide rates. They found suicides increased when a day was particularly sunny (stock image shown). However if the preceding 14 to 60 days were sunny the rate dropped . The research from the University of Vienna, reported by LiveScience, appears in the journal JAMA Psychiatry. They looked at sunshine hours and suicide rates in Austria from 1 January 1970 to 6 May 2010. Sunshine hours were calculated from 86 meteorological stations. The study looked at more than 69,000 suicides over the 40 years. They found that, on each day studied, sunshine hours and the number of suicides were highly correlated. Serotonin, also known as 5-hydroxytryptamine, is a neurotransmitter - a chemical substance that transmits nerve impulses across the space between nerve cells or neurons. It plays an important part in the regulation of learning, mood, sleep and helps control blood vessels. It has also been linked to anxiety, migraine, vomiting and appetite. ‘Sunshine on the day of suicide and up to 10 days prior to suicide seems to facilitate suicide,’ the researchers write. However, prolonged sunshine 14 to 60 days prior to a given day was found to reduce the rate. The researchers also found a stronger link between suicide rates among women and sunshine hours. For men, on the other hand, the link between lower suicide rates after prolonged sunshine was stronger. The exact reason for the results of the study is not known, but previous studies have shown that light interacts with serotonin, a neurotransmitter in humans and animals that affects mood. This means exposure to sunlight could alter serotonin levels and lead to erratic behaviour and emotions. The researchers also found a stronger link between suicide rates among women and sunshine hours. For men, on the other hand, the link between lower suicide rates after prolonged sunshine was stronger.Sunlight is thought to alter levels of serotonin, which is known to affect peoples' moods (stock image shown) Summarize this article.

Question: Dylan filled his glass with ice cubes before he poured his soda into it. He counted and there were 8 ice cubes in his glass. Later when he prepares a pitcher of lemonade he puts two times as many ice cubes in the pitcher. Then it is time to refill the ice cube trays which have 12 spaces each for ice cubes. How many trays does Dylan need to fill if he used exactly all the ice they had in them? Answer: Dylan uses 8 ice cubes in his glass plus 2 x as many for the pitcher of lemonade, 8 x 2 = 16 ice cubes. Those 16 ice cubes + the 8 before means that the ice cube trays originally held 16 + 8 ice cubes = <<16+8=24>>24 ice cubes. Each ice cube tray holds 12 ice cubes, 24 ice cubes / 12 spaces in the trays = <<24/12=2>>2 total ice cube trays. The answer is 2.
Passage: The Indus Valley Civilisation (IVC), also known as the Indus Civilisation was a Bronze Age civilisation in the northwestern regions of South Asia, lasting from 3300 BCE to 1300 BCE, and in its mature form 2600 BCE to 1900 BCE. Together with ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia, it was one of three early civilisations of the Near East and South Asia, and of the three, the most widespread. Its sites spanned an area from much of Pakistan, to northeast Afghanistan, and northwestern India. The civilisation flourished both in the alluvial plain of the Indus River, which flows through the length of Pakistan, and along a system of perennial monsoon-fed rivers that once coursed in the vicinity of the Ghaggar-Hakra, a seasonal river in northwest India and eastern Pakistan. The term Harappan is sometimes applied to the Indus civilisation after its type site Harappa, the first to be excavated early in the 20th century in what was then the Punjab province of British India and is now Punjab, Pakistan. The discovery of Harappa and soon afterwards Mohenjo-daro was the culmination of work that had begun after the founding of the Archaeological Survey of India in the British Raj in 1861. There were earlier and later cultures called Early Harappan and Late Harappan in the same area. The early Harappan cultures were populated from Neolithic cultures, the earliest and best-known of which is Mehrgarh, in Balochistan, Pakistan. Harappan civilisation is sometimes called Mature Harappan to distinguish it from the earlier cultures. The cities of the ancient Indus were noted for their urban planning, baked brick houses, elaborate drainage systems, water supply systems, clusters of large non-residential buildings, and techniques of handicraft and metallurgy. Mohenjo-daro and Harappa very likely grew to contain between 30,000 and 60,000 individuals, and the civilisation may have contained between one and five million individuals during its florescence. A gradual drying of the region during the 3rd millennium BCE may have been the initial stimulus for its urbanisation. Eventually it also reduced the water supply enough to cause the civilisation's demise and to disperse its population to the east. Although over a thousand Mature Harappan sites have been reported and nearly a hundred excavated, there are five major urban centres: Mohenjo-daro in the lower Indus Valley (declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1980 as "Archaeological Ruins at Moenjodaro"), Harappa in the western Punjab region, Ganeriwala in the Cholistan Desert, Dholavira in western Gujarat (declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2021 as "Dholavira: A Harappan City"), and Rakhigarhi in Haryana. The Harappan language is not directly attested, and its affiliation uncertain as the Indus script has remained undeciphered. A relationship with the Dravidian or Elamo-Dravidian language family is favoured by a section of scholars. Question: Reading this paragraph, tell me what language did the people of Indus Valley civilization speak? \Answer: The language spoken by people of Harappa, a part of the Indus Valley Civilization, is unknown. Scholars, though, link their language's roots to the Dravidian or Elamo-Dravidian language family.
Question: Tracy feeds each of her two dogs 1.5 cups of food per meal. She feeds her dogs thrice a day. How many pounds of food do her two dogs consume if 1 pound is equal to 2.25 cups? Answer: Each dog consumes 1.5 x 3 = <<1.53=4.5>>4.5 cups of food a day. In pounds, this is equal to 4.5/2.25 = <<4.5/2.25=2>>2. So both consume 2 x 2 = <<22=4>>4 pounds of food. The answer is 4.

A banking executive has resigned after his past as an abusive vicar who preyed on young boys was revealed. Former vicar Stephen Brooks, who was jailed for carrying out 19 sex attacks in Swansea, South Wales, during the 1980s and 1990s, quit his job as a director at Santander after the truth about his abusive background came to light. The 59-year-old preyed on young boys over a seven-year period while working as a clergyman at St Paul's Church in Sketty and was given a four-year prison sentence in 1994. Scroll down for video . Shamed: Stephen Brooks, pictured judging the 'responsible small business of the year award' resigned after he was exposed as a convicted paedophile . Eight of his victims are said to have suffered mental problems and one 38-year-old is said to have attempted suicide and turned to alcohol as a result. Santander told The Sun they were 'shocked' to learn of his criminal history and confirmed he had quit his role after taking 'immediate steps' to resolve the matter. Brooks moved to London to get away from the people he had abused and rose to become regional director of education, healthcare and communities at the bank. He was also given a very public role by the company and even judged the 'responsible small business of the year' award earlier this year. After being confronted about his past, he said: 'I deeply regret and apologise for the harm that I caused. Sickening: Brooks carried out the abuse while he was the vicar at St Paul's Church in Swansea, South Wales . Unaware: The bank said it was 'shocked' to learn of Brook's convictions and confirmed he had resigned once his past had been exposed . 'I moved far away from the people I hurt and I have spent 20 years trying to do good and no harm.' He also insisted that he went through the same vetting procedure as any other employee and received a Criminal Records Bureau check during the consultation process. A former friend said he had been a charming man, but a 'relentless abuser' who left many victims not wanting to press charges because of fears they may be shunned by the community. Child protection expert Mark Williams-Thomas said his appointment posed serious questions about Santander's recruitment process and condemned the company for giving him a public role. During his case at Swansea Crown Court 19 years ago, Patrick Griffiths, prosecuting, said Brooks was a ‘very well-liked man held in high regard and possessing considerable charisma.' 'His integrity was unquestioned and children found him friendly and approachable’, he added. Judge Martin Stephens said: 'You were destined for the highest position in the Church but you have caused immense harm and anguish.' Summarize this article.

Question: Van Helsing gets paid by the town to remove all the vampires and werewolves. He gets $5 per vampire and $10 per werewolf. He removes half the vampires and removes 8 werewolves, and earned $105. There were 4 times as many werewolves as vampires. What percentage of the werewolves did he remove? Answer: He earns $80 from werewolf removal because 8 x 10 = <<810=80>>80 He earned $25 from vampire removal because 105 - 80 = <<105-80=25>>25 He removed 5 vampires from town because 25 / 5 = <<25/5=5>>5 There were 10 vampires because 5 / .5 = 10 There were 40 werewolves because 4 x 10 = <<410=40>>40 The proportion of werewolves that he removed was .2 because 8 / 40 = <<8/40=.2>>.2 The percentage of werewolves removed was 20% because 100 x .2 = <<100*.2=20>>20 The answer is 20.

Passage: StarCraft is a real-time strategy video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment for Microsoft Windows. The first installment of the video game series of the same name, it was released in 1998. A Classic Mac OS version was released in 1999, and a Nintendo 64 port co-developed with Mass Media and published by Nintendo was released in 2000. Blizzard started work on the game shortly after Warcraft II, another real-time strategy game, was released in 1995. The first incarnation debuted at the 1996 Electronic Entertainment Expo, where it was unfavorably compared to Warcraft II. As a result, the project was entirely overhauled before being showcased to the public in early 1997, at which time it received a far more positive response. The game's multiplayer is particularly popular in South Korea, where players and teams participate in professional competitions, earn sponsorships, and compete in televised tournaments. Set in a fictitious future timeline during the 25th century AD in a distant part of the Milky Way galaxy known as the Koprulu Sector, the game revolves around three intelligent species fighting for dominance: the Terrans are humans exiled from Earth who are now skilled at adapting to any situation; the Zerg are a race of insectoid aliens in pursuit of genetic perfection and obsessed with assimilating other races; the Protoss are a humanoid species with advanced technology and psionic abilities who are attempting to preserve their civilization and strict philosophy about their way of life from the Zerg. Many journalists of the video game industry have praised StarCraft as one of the most important, and one of the greatest video games of all time. The game is also said to have raised the bar for developing real-time strategy (RTS) games. With more than 11 million copies sold worldwide by February 2009, StarCraft became one of the best-selling games for the personal computer. It has been praised for pioneering the use of unique factions in RTS gameplay, and for having a compelling story. StarCraft has had its storyline adapted and expanded through a series of novels published between 2000 and 2016, the expansion pack StarCraft: Brood War, and two officially authorized add-ons, Insurrection and Retribution. A sequel, StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, was released in July 2010, along with two expansion packs and a campaign pack between 2013 and 2016, while a remastered edition of the original and its expansion pack was released in August 2017. The original game, along with the expansion, was released for free in April 2017. Question: Tell me about StarCraft. \Answer: StarCraft is a Real Time Strategy game released in 1998 by Blizzard Entertainment. It is widely considered one of the greatest video games of all time. The story is set in the 25th century and features three races struggling for power: Terran, Zerg, and Protoss. There have been one sequel and multiple expansions. The multiplayer mode was very popular, spawning professional competitions.
A heavily pregnant mother drowned her three small children in the bath and scrawled ‘I love you x’ on their bodies before leaping to her death, an inquest heard yesterday. Police who went to Fiona Anderson’s home after finding her body at the bottom of a multi-storey car park discovered the children tucked up in their mother’s bed with their teddies. All three had lipstick kisses on their forehead, and messages written on the wall included: ‘I love them and I’m going to keep them safe.’ Tragedy: Fiona Anderson pictured on CCTV at the house where her ex-boyfriend was staying two hours before she killed herself. Unknown to anyone else her three children were already dead . Siblings: Levina, three, Addy, two, and 11-month-old Kyden were two months from having another sister . Anderson, 23, killed the two boys and a girl aged between 11 months and three after her former partner, the children’s father, said he was in a new relationship. The tragic deaths left social services in the dock yesterday as the inquest heard the family were known to child protection officers. Social workers visited them more than 50 times between 2009 and last year and were aware the two older children had been sleeping in a double buggy and fed on biscuits. A serious case review by independent expert Ron Lock for Suffolk Local Safeguarding Children Board said the family were considered ‘hard to reach’ because of Anderson’s ‘unwavering and determined’ refusal to engage with staff. Inquest: The hearing today heard 'Fiona Anderson loved her children but that she was extremely emotionally disturbed' when she killed them . Captured: Fiona Anderson clutching a teddy bear minutes before she fell to her death in Lowestoft . Child protection plans were allowed to ‘drift’ and while legal intervention was considered, no court action was taken. Anderson’s refusal to co-operate also meant her mental health was never assessed. Mr Lock said the deaths were not foreseeable but concluded: ‘If the children had been placed into care this could have avoided this tragic outcome.’ Anderson was seen wandering around Lowestoft in Suffolk clutching a teddy bear for 90 minutes on April 15 last year before jumping to her death. Her unborn baby, who was due two months later, died with her. When police went to her flat in the town they found the bodies of Levina, three, Addy, two, and 11-month-old Kyden. She had written ‘I love you x’ with a small heart on their stomachs and they all had lipstick kisses on their foreheads. Scrawled on the walls were messages including: ‘I put them to bed with their bears – they loved their bears.’ Another said: ‘They’re cuddled up together sleeping. They look so peaceful.’ Tragedy: Levina, three, Addy, two, and 11-month-old Kyden, all died at their home in Lowestoft, Suffolk, having been drowned by their mother . Loss: Fiona Anderson was heavily pregnant when she died and her death led police to her home where the bodies of her three children were found. She had split from ex Craig McLelland, pictured today . Officers discovered evidence they had been drowned in the bath. A post-mortem examination found nothing to suggest they had been restrained or assaulted. Anderson had the names of each of her children written on her body, along with the name Eve for her unborn daughter. Chief Inspector Andy Smith told the hearing in Bury St Edmunds that Anderson had argued the night before with the children’s father, Craig McClellan, after he told her he was in a new relationship. She told him, ‘Say goodnight to the children as it’s the last time you’ll see them’, before stabbing him, the inquest heard. Mr McClellan, who also lives in Lowestoft, was treated at a hospital but told police he had been attacked in the street by a stranger. ‘He later told us he lied to protect Fiona and stop the children being taken into care,’ Mr Smith said. The officer added that a torn-up letter found in a bin provided a ‘harrowing insight’ into Anderson’s state of mind. ‘She felt unable to cope with the situation and apologetically outlined her intention to take the children with her,’ he said. ‘In her words: “A mother never abandons her children”.’ Coroner Dr Peter Dean said: ‘It seems there were missed opportunities to engage with a non-engaging family. ‘It was perhaps wise, instead of doing the same thing for 18 months, to stop what you’re doing and see if there is a different way.’ Dr Dean said he didn’t want to ‘imply liability’, but ‘the required steps were not approached to psychologically assess’ Anderson. Bereft: Father Craig McLellan pictured with his children (left to right) Addy Kyden and Levina and arriving with his mother to lay flowers after their deaths . Investigation: Police found the children in their mother's double bed and she had also written messages all over the walls . Police: Chief detective Inspector Andy Smith (left) and Bob Cook, chairman of the Suffolk safeguarding panel . Recording a verdict of unlawful killing for the three children and suicide for their mother, he added: ‘There is no doubt in my mind that Fiona dearly loved her children. ‘It’s clear – through her abnormal perception of her circumstances and her subsequent actions of what she thought was in their best interests at the time – the need to help these families and spot psychological and behaviour problems. She was clearly a social and psychological risk and what she did was extreme.’ The coroner said he would write to Health Minister Norman Lamb about the case because it highlighted the need for more awareness of parents with mental health issues and how to provide support for them. Mr Smith, speaking on behalf of Mr McClellan, said: ‘He loves his children dearly and always will. He hopes that following today’s proceedings he can try to move forward and rebuild his life.’ Sue Cook, Suffolk County Council’s director for children and young people’s services, said: ‘Some families can be harder to engage with than others which can make the task of protecting children even more complex.’ The council had introduced changes following recommendations in the serious case review, she added.

By . Kirk Maltais . Pictures of a terrifying supercell storm that hit New Mexico on Saturday were captured, depicting the awesome size of the monolithic stormclouds. The storm rolled through Cuervo, New Mexico, producing hailstones that were four-inches in diameter. Cuervo is a community located approximately two hours away from Albuquerque. The state issued tornado warnings for the area for the weekend, but this did not stop some adventurous photographers from capturing the event. According to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, a supercell, which is not always a thunderstorm, is a weather phenomenon in which converging low level winds create an updraft which rotates on a vertical axis. This is also known as a mesocyclone. Warm air in the mesocyclone can rise as fast as 170 miles per hour. Supercells are known to create large hailstones, damaging winds, and tornadoes, and can last for hours if conditions permit. These kind of storms can take place anywhere in the world, but are most commonly found in the midwest of the United States, as well as the plains areas in South America. Forecasters are calling for more severe weather to hit regions of New Mexico and Texas on Sunday. A storm spotter watches the looming storm over Cuervo, New Mexico.

Troubled supermarket giant Tesco was facing fresh questions last night after it emerged it had purchased a new corporate jet worth £31million. The Gulfstream 550 aircraft arrived just days after it was revealed profits at the struggling supermarket had been overstated by £250million. The jet - which was ordered in early 2013, ironically, just as the group was scaling back its international operations - will raise further questions over the tenure of former chief executive Philip Clarke, who was ousted in July. Scroll down for video . The Gulfstream 550 aircraft (like the one pictured) arrived just days after it was revealed profits at the struggling supermarket had been overstated by £250million . Tesco sparked a storm of shareholder fury in 2012 when it emerged they had spent nearly £29million on private plane journeys since 2005 despite falling sales and the rising cost of the jets. The supermarket giant had pledged to put all its executive jets up for sale in a bid to rebuild investor confidence. A source close to the company told the Financial Times: ‘If you want an indication of what has gone wrong at Tesco [it was that] we ordered another Gulfstream.’ The purchase of the jet will raise further questions over the tenure of former chief executive Philip Clarke, who was ousted in July . The news comes as the group attempts to recover from a spate of bad news, including three profit warnings in three months and the revelation that the Financial Conduct Authority was investigating its accounting practices. Tesco’s new chief executive Dave Lewis was brought in on September 1 from Unilever to replace Mr Clarke after the second profit warning a month ago. People inside the company said one of his first decisions was to sell the aircraft, though the group has not yet announced this publicly. The retailer was this week registered as the new owner of a Gulfstream 550 on the website of the Civil Aviation Authority, according to the Financial Times. The 29-metre-long G550, which can seat up to 18 passengers, has a range of up to 12,500km and can fly non-stop for up to 12 hours. To charter a G550 for a 12-hour flight would cost nearly £67,000 – more than twice the average UK salary of £26,000. Since the financial crisis, companies have been unwilling to be seen flying corporate jets, for fear of being attacked by investors and the public for extravagance. One senior executive in the private aviation industry told the Financial Times: ‘There has been a fundamental change – corporates don’t want to be seen owning aircraft in Europe.’ Tesco shares have sunk to an 11-year low since the latest profit warning last week. The jet may prove to be the most short-lived purchase for the group. Tesco said last night: ‘All aircraft operated by Tesco are in the process of being sold.’ Summarize this article. Gulfstream 550 aircraft arrived just days after huge overstating of profits . Ordered in early 2013 - when Tesco was reducing international operations .

Question: A class is completing an art project. Each of the 30 students is assigned to a separate group and will need to take markers from the 22 boxes of markers. The first group has 10 students who will have 2 markers each and the second group has 15 students who will have 4 markers each. The last group takes the remaining markers and divides them equally. If each box of markers contains 5 markers, how many markers does each of the students in the last group receive? Answer: The first group uses a total of 10 students * 2 markers = <<102=20>>20 markers. The second group uses a total of 15 students 4 markers = <<154=60>>60 markers. This is a total of 20 + 60 = <<20+60=80>>80 markers. The total number of markers in the boxes is 5 markers 22 boxes = <<5*22=110>>110 markers. This leaves 110 – 80 = <<110-80=30>>30 markers for the last group to split between themselves. The last group is made up of 30 total students – 10 students in the first group – 15 students in the second group = <<30-10-15=5>>5 students. Therefore, students in the last group receive 30 markers / 5 students = <<30/5=6>>6 markers each. The answer is 6.

Question: The population of an area starts at 100,000 people. It increases by 60% over 10 years due to birth. In that same time, 2000 people leave per year from emigration and 2500 people come in per year from immigration. How many people are in the area at the end of 10 years? Answer: The population increased by 100000.6=<<100000.6=60000>>60,000 from births They lost 200010=<<200010=20000>>20,000 people from emigration They gained 250010=<<250010=25000>>25,000 people from immigration That means the net increase from people moving was 25000-20000=<<25000-20000=5000>>5,000 So the total population is 100,000+60,000+5,000=<<100000+60000+5000=165000>>165,000 The answer is 165,000.
Passage: The Rangers (Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, Billy Cranston, Aisha Campbell, Kimberly Hart, and Tommy Oliver) participate with Bulk and Skull in a charity skydive for the Angel Grove observatory, in anticipation of Ryan's Comet which will pass by in two days. Bulk and Skull miss the target landing zone and accidentally land on a construction site where a giant egg has been unearthed. Lord Zedd, Rita Repulsa, Goldar, and Mordant arrive at the construction site and crack open the egg, releasing Ivan Ooze, a morphological being who ruled Earth with an iron fist six thousand years earlier, before he was overthrown by Zordon and a group of young warriors under his charge. Ivan lays siege to the Rangers' Command Center and incapacitates Zordon, robbing the Rangers of their powers. As the Rangers return to the Command Center, they find it destroyed and Zordon dying. Zordon's assistant Alpha 5 sends the Rangers to the distant planet Phaedos to obtain the Great Power and save Zordon. Ivan usurps Rita and Zedd, trapping them in a snow globe. Ivan sends his Tengu warriors to Phaedos and begins building an army. He uses his ooze to hypnotize the adults, forcing them to be his workforce to dig up his Ecto-Morphicon Titans, twin war machines built during his reign. When Fred Kelman, a friend of the Rangers', discovers his father missing, he finds him working at the construction site and discovers Ivan's plans. On Phaedos, the Rangers and are almost killed by the Tengu, but are rescued by Dulcea, Phaedos' Master Warrior. After hearing of Zordon's plight, she agrees to help them and takes them to an ancient ruined temple, where the Rangers will have to overcome obstacles to acquire the power of the Ninjetti. Dulcea gives each Ranger an animal spirit: Aisha is the bear, Billy is the wolf, Rocky is the ape, Kimberly is the crane, Tommy is the falcon and Adam is the frog. The Rangers make their way to the Monolith housing the Great Power, defeat its four guardians, and retrieve the Great Power. On Earth, Ivan's Ecto-Morphicons are completely unearthed, and he unleashes them on Angel Grove; he orders the parents to commit suicide at the construction site. Fred, Bulk, Skull and other students head to the construction site to save their parents. The Rangers return with their new animal-themed Ninja Zords and destroy one of Ivan's Ecto-Morphicons; Ivan takes control of the other and battles the Rangers himself. Coming up with a way to defeat him, the Rangers lead Ivan into space, right into the path of Ryan's Comet, which destroys him. His destruction breaks the hypnosis and the parents are reunited with their children. The Rangers then use the Great Power to restore the Command Center and resurrect Zordon. In a mid-credits scene, Goldar briefly lounges in Zedd's throne being served by Mordant only to panic when Zedd and Rita appear having been released after Ivan was destroyed. Question: Who do the Power Rangers find dying? Answer: They find Zordon dying.
Q: I have a myth: Earth has no moon, instead it has a ring. There is ringlight every night year-round, and a ring shadow somewhere on Earth every day, which moves with the seasons. Re-write mythology. A: Long before the days of the War of the Gods, Titans reigned over the face of the Earth. As with any rulers, there were some who ruled fairly and others who did not. Among the more benevolent leaders was Hyperion, the Lord of Light. He was called upon for wisdom and discernment; mortals valued his insight and praised his control of the heavenly bodies. Yet Hyperion had one great love: Theia, his consort. She was a Titaness of radiance, a mother goddess who shone like the sun on all who sought after her. The two Titans were very much in love, and their love gave vibrancy to the life around them. They were happy - for a time. That time ended when the Gods declared war on the Titans, with Zeus at the forefront of battle. Cronus, Hyperion's brother and Lord over all the Titans, called Hyperion into battle against the upstart Gods. Knowing the war would end in defeat, Hyperion left anyway, answering the call of his brother and king. But before he left, Hyperion gave Theia a gift: a ring of radiant light to wear around her finger. He told her that the ring would tell her if he was safe; that the ring would glow with a silver light when he was in danger. Theia took it gratefully and bid her lover farewell. It was the last time she would see him. Hyperion fell during the war and was banished with the other Titans to the pits of Tartarus. During the battle, Theia watched in helpless anguish as the ring shone brighter and brighter until it was nearly as luminous as the sun. In her despair, she removed the ring and prayed to the Mother Gaia that she would cause the ring to grow as large as her love for Hyperion. Gaia listened, and so the ring grew. Now the ring encircles the Earth, a strip of radiance that gives off silver moonlight every evening. Mankind looks up to the ring and is reminded of Theia's anguish, as well as her love for her fallen lover.

Passage: After the wedding of Belle and the Beast, they establish the United States of Auradon from the surrounding kingdoms, creating a prosperous new nation, and are elected King and Queen. The kingdom's villains are imprisoned on the Isle of the Lost, a slum where magic is suspended and surrounded by a barrier. Twenty years later, Prince Ben is to ascend the Auradon throne and informs his parents that his first proclamation is give the Isle of the Lost's children the chance to live in Auradon, away from the influence of their villainous parents. The first four children he has chosen are Carlos, son of Cruella de Vil; Jay, son of Jafar; Evie, daughter of Evil Queen; and Mal, daughter of Maleficent. On the island, Maleficent instructs the four chosen children to use the opportunity and steal the Fairy Godmother's magic wand to release the villains. Traveling to Auradon Prep, the four meet Ben and his self-proclaimed girlfriend Audrey, daughter of Princess Aurora. They also meet the Fairy Godmother who is the school's headmistress. Evie uses her mother's pocket-sized magic mirror to locate the wand that's in a nearby museum, and Mal uses her mother's spinning wheel (an artifact in the museum) to put the guard to sleep, but they fail to steal it. Learning the Fairy Godmother will use the wand at Ben's coronation, the four wait it out by attending classes but start to fit in with the students. Jay is recruited into the school's "tourney" team (a hockey-like sport), while Carlos surpasses his cynophobia by befriending the school's mutt Dude. Evie, though intelligent, acts vain to impress Chad, son of Cinderella, but ends up doing his homework for him. Dopey's son Doug encourages her to not pander to others and be herself. Mal becomes popular, using Maleficent's spell book to improve the looks of Jane, daughter of Fairy Godmother, and Lonnie, daughter of Mulan. Learning also Ben's girlfriend will be seated close to the wand during the coronation, Mal bakes a cookie laced with a love potion and gives it to Ben, who falls madly in love with her, much to the shock of his friends. On a date with Ben, Mal becomes conflicted with her inner goodness and desire to please her mother, unsure how to react to Ben's feelings towards her. During the school's family day, the villains' children are ostracized after an encounter with Audrey's grandmother Queen Leah. Though Ben, Lonnie and Doug remain friendly towards them, they are forced to distance themselves from the quartet. On the day of the coronation, Mal gives Ben a brownie containing the love spell's antidote, believing it is unnecessary to keep Ben under the spell, but he reveals he was already freed of the spell since their date when he went swimming in the Enchanted Lake and believing that Mal only did it because she really liked him. During Ben's crowning, a disillusioned Jane grabs the wand from her mother, accidentally destroying the Isle's barrier. Mal takes the wand from Jane, but torn over what to do, is encouraged by Ben to make her own choice rather than follow Maleficent's path. Mal recognizes that she and her friends found happiness in Auradon, and they decide to be good. Maleficent crashes the ceremony, freezing everyone in time except herself and the four children. When they defy her, Maleficent transforms into a dragon. Together with Mal use a counter spell turning Maleficent into a tiny lizard based on the amount of love in her heart. Mal returns the Fairy Godmother her wand and tells her not to be hard on Jane. The Fairy Godmother then unfreezes everyone. While the villains watch the celebration from afar, Auradon Prep's students party through the night, with Mal and her friends finding happiness. Question: Where are the kingdoms villains imprisoned? Answer: the Isle of the Lost
Question: A kilogram of pork costs $6 while a kilogram of chicken costs $2 less. How much will a 3-kilogram of chicken and a kilogram of pork cost? Answer: A kilogram of chicken costs $6 - $2 = $<<6-2=4>>4. Three kilograms of chicken cost $4 x 3 = $<<4*3=12>>12. So, a 3-kilogram of chicken and a kilogram of pork cost $12 + $6 = $18. The answer is 18.

Question: Jeff spends three times as many hours on the weekend catching up with his Facebook pals as he does working. Monday through Friday, however, he spends four times as many hours working as he does catching up. If he spends 3 hours every day catching up, how many hours does he spend working in an entire week? Answer: On the weekend, Jeff works 3 / 3 = <<3/3=1>>1 hour each day. On the weekdays, he spends 4 * 3 = <<43=12>>12 hours working each day. Thus, he spends 2 1 + 5 * 12 = <<21+512=62>>62 hours working each week. The answer is 62.

Write a preface to book where the author feels the need to properly caveat his story about warfare in the middle east, in case someone were to get offended by the content. Make sure the author conveys his deep respect for that region and all cultures represented therein. Answer: Though the events described here may have some historic precedent, they are totally fictitious, as are equipment and its use. Similarly, any resemblance between the characters in this story and actual individuals would be totally coincidental. Finally, though the geographical locations are real, the characterization of certain countries is vaguely inspired by reality. One should not conclude that the author's views relative to any of these countries matches the views presented here. The entire Middle East has been a war cauldron for most of its history, and yet it remains both the birthplace of western civilization and the origin of wonderful scientific discoveries. Additionally, its contribution to the world of art, through the ago has been unquestioned. In short, whoever is painted as a villain today could turn out to be a hero tomorrow.

Passage: In mathematics, gradient descent (also often called steepest descent) is a first-order iterative optimization algorithm for finding a local minimum of a differentiable function. The idea is to take repeated steps in the opposite direction of the gradient (or approximate gradient) of the function at the current point, because this is the direction of steepest descent. Conversely, stepping in the direction of the gradient will lead to a local maximum of that function; the procedure is then known as gradient ascent. Gradient descent is generally attributed to Augustin-Louis Cauchy, who first suggested it in 1847. Jacques Hadamard independently proposed a similar method in 1907. Its convergence properties for non-linear optimization problems were first studied by Haskell Curry in 1944, with the method becoming increasingly well-studied and used in the following decades. Question: Given this text about gradient descent, what is gradient descent, and who invented it? \Answer: In mathematics, gradient descent (also often called steepest descent) is a first-order iterative optimization algorithm for finding a local minimum of a differentiable function. Gradient descent is generally attributed to Augustin-Louis Cauchy, who first suggested it in 1847

Muslim leaders have issued a fatwa condemning British jihadis, it was revealed today. The fatwa, which has been issued by some of the country’s top imams, is the strongest condemnation yet by the Muslim community of Britons joining Islamic extremists. It comes as Britain's terror threat was hiked from ‘substantial’ to ‘severe’ in response to conflicts in Iraq and Syria, and the seemingly growing influence of the Islamic State terror group. Scroll down for video . Terror threat: The fatwa is the strongest condemnation yet by the Muslim community of Britons joining Islamic extremists, and comes amid the seemingly growing influence of the Islamic State terror group (file picture) Response to conflicts: Home Secretary Theresa May (pictured) said Britain's new terror threat level of 'severe' rated the risk of an attack on the UK as 'highly likely' Home Secretary Theresa May said the new alert level rated the risk of an attack on the UK as ‘highly likely’, although she said there was no evidence to suggest one was ‘imminent’. The fatwa has been endorsed by senior Islamic scholars including Sheikh Qamaruzzaman Azmi of the World Islamic Mission, and Sheikh Muhammad Shahid Raza of The Muslim Law Shariah Council UK. A fatwa, an edict issued by a learned Muslim scholar, may concern any aspect of Islamic life. Technically it cannot be revoked and dies only with the person it is directed against. Six senior scholars have endorsed the fatwa, describing Britons allied to IS cells as ‘heretics’. It has also been backed by former Labour home secretary Jack Straw and former Foreign Office minister Baroness Warsi. According to The Sunday Times, . the fatwa states Muslims have a ‘moral obligation’ to help those in . war-torn Syria and Iraq, but that they should do so ‘without betraying . their own societies’. Support: The fatwa has been backed by former Labour home secretary Jack Straw (left) and former Foreign Office minister Baroness Warsi (right) Controversial: The term fatwa became famous in the West in 1989 after the author Salman Rushdie (pictured) was forced into hiding following a 'death fatwa' issued by Ayatollah Khomeni, then Supreme Leader of Iran . Sheikh Raza told the newspaper: ‘Many scholars from diverse theological backgrounds and schools are supporting it, so it carries a lot of weight. 'I hope that our young people will listen to what we are saying in this statement' Sheikh Muhammad Shahid Raza . ‘I hope that our young people will listen to what we are saying in this statement. The fatwa will work to provide a better environment for safety and security.’ The term fatwa became famous in the West in 1989 after the author Salman Rushdie was forced into hiding following a ‘death fatwa’ issued by Ayatollah Khomeni, then Supreme Leader of Iran. It was on the grounds that his 1988 book, The Satanic Verses, had ‘insulted’ Islam. The book's publication a year earlier triggered a wave of protest and condemnation from Muslims who accused it of blasphemy and mocking their faith. Summarize this article. Strong condemnation by Muslims of Britons joining Islamic extremists . Fatwa is an edict issued by a learned Muslim scholar about Islamic life . Comes as Britain's terror threat is hiked from 'substantial' to 'severe'

Passage: In mathematics, a metric space is a set together with a notion of distance between its elements, usually called points. The distance is measured by a function called a metric or distance function. Metric spaces are the most general setting for studying many of the concepts of mathematical analysis and geometry. The most familiar example of a metric space is 3-dimensional Euclidean space with its usual notion of distance. Other well-known examples are a sphere equipped with the angular distance and the hyperbolic plane. A metric may correspond to a metaphorical, rather than physical, notion of distance: for example, the set of 100-character Unicode strings can be equipped with the Hamming distance, which measures the number of characters that need to be changed to get from one string to another. Since they are very general, metric spaces are a tool used in many different branches of mathematics. Many types of mathematical objects have a natural notion of distance and therefore admit the structure of a metric space, including Riemannian manifolds, normed vector spaces, and graphs. In abstract algebra, the p-adic numbers arise as elements of the completion of a metric structure on the rational numbers. Metric spaces are also studied in their own right in metric geometry and analysis on metric spaces. Many of the basic notions of mathematical analysis, including balls, completeness, as well as uniform, Lipschitz, and Hölder continuity, can be defined in the setting of metric spaces. Other notions, such as continuity, compactness, and open and closed sets, can be defined for metric spaces, but also in the even more general setting of topological spaces. Question: In the provided text multiple examples of a metric are given. Extract the third example of a metric. \Answer: The third metric or distance function that was encountered in this example is the Hamming distance. The Hamming distance measures the number of character changes that are needed to transform a given string to another.
Question: Jill is going to resod her front yard. The plot of land in front of her house is 200 feet wide by 50 feet. Her house has a sidewalk that is 3 feet wide and 50 feet long. There are also four flower beds: two right in front of the house that are 4 feet deep by 25 feet long, one that is 10 feet by 12 feet, and a fourth that is 7 feet by 8 feet. How many square feet of sod will she need to cover her yard, minus the sidewalk and flower beds? Answer: The area of the whole front yard is 200 feet by 50 feet, or 200 ft * 50 ft = <<20050=10000>>10,000 sq.ft. The sidewalk is 3 feet by 50 feet, or 3ft 50ft = <<350=150>>150 sq.ft. Each of the flower beds right in front of the house is 4 feet by 25 feet, or 4 ft 25 ft = 100 sq.ft. There are two, so that's 2 * 100 sq.ft. = 200 sq.ft. The third flower bed is 10 feet by 12 feet, or 10ft * 12ft = <<1012=120>>120 sq.ft. The fourth flower bed is 7 feet by 8 feet, or 7ft 8ft = <<7*8=56>>56 sq.ft. The total area of the sidewalk and flower beds is 150 sq.ft + 200 sq.ft + 120 sq.ft + 56 sq.ft = <<150+200+120+56=526>>526 sq. ft. So Jill will need a total of 10,000 sq.ft - 526 sq.ft = <<10000-526=9474>>9,474 sq.ft. of sod. The answer is 9474.
Already known as the ‘happy slam’ in tennis, the Australian Open is now planning to be the biggest one as well, and some Disney magic this year will also make it an occasion for all the family. Tennis Australia plans to expand the tournament site in Melbourne to Federation Square. The multi-million dollar expansion would dwarf that of rival grand slams at Wimbledon, and the French and US Opens. But this is just the beginning. The Herald Sun reported that Tennis Australia is also seeking the green light from Melbourne City Council to create an entertainment precinct that would run from Federation Square along the banks of the Yarra past Birrarung Marr Park to Batman Avenue. Scroll down for video . An artist's impression shows an overhead view of the revamped tournament site in Melbourne . This redeveloped site will have a bridge leading into the new precinct at Melbourne Park . Part of the envisaged new bridge that will connect Melbourne’s CBD with its famous sporting precinct . The Rod Laver Arena will still remain the centrepiece of the multi-million dollar expansion . And fairy tales will not be restricted to the court this year either as Disney is making its debut at the event. To attract families over the tournament’s final week of play when the secondary stadium at Melbourne Park - the 10,500 seating Hisense Arena – is empty, it will be transformed into a mini-Disneyland theme park and movies like the blockbuster Frozen, Big Hero 6 and The Lion King will be shown. One of the tournament’s major drawcards 20-year-old Eugenie Bouchard of Canada is also very popular with teenage fans, and it’s hoped that the combination of both will keep children and teenagers happy over the course of the event. On day one of the Australian Open young fans were already getting into the swing of things . Costumes of all shapes and sizes will be on view in Melbourne over the next two weeks . The new entertainment zone would be temporary and removed at the end of the tournament each year before being set up again the following season. Plans for a new pedestrian footbridge to connect Melbourne’s CBD with its famous sporting precinct as part of a $348 million upgrade will help facilitate this. ‘Once the bridge is open it will create a clear and legible pedestrian route straight to the heart of the city from Melbourne Park which can incorporate entertainment facilities here,’ a spokesman for Major Projects Victoria said. ‘The new bridge creates an opportunity for entertainment facilities to be put in this area. It creates a great chance to capitalise on this opportunity.’ Eugenie Bouchard, 20, of Canada will be a big hit with the event's teenage fans who will also get to experience Disneyland this year too . Australian tennis fans were out in force on the first day of the tournament in Melbourne . The zone would free to the public and feature a variety of entertainment such as live music, gourmet dining, children’s play areas, and bars. Tennis Australia has already approached the local council and is hopeful the project will be approved in time for the 2016 tournament. TA’s commercial director Richard Heaselgrave told the Herald Sun that talks with Melbourne City Council would resume as soon as this year’s tournament finishes. 'The vision is to take the entertainment we already have and put rocket fuel into it,' he said. Former Australian Open champion Boris Becker holds the trophies of the men's singles and women's singles with ball kids ahead of the first day's play . 'We have the ability to double our site and that’s our plan. We are an entertainment festival and we want to make it more accessible to more people.' Mr Heaselgrave said tournament chiefs also wanted to expand the tennis festival from two to three weeks and believed their objectives 'aligned' with those of Lord Mayor Robert Doyle. 'It’s free, it’s entertainment, it involves the population of Melbourne and incoming tourists - you can tick all of those boxes,’’ he said. 'The vision is entertainment, some tennis, some food and wine, some kids entertainment, some music. Viva Espana: A Spanish tennis fan holds up a Spanish flag in front of the Rod Laver Arena . Mr Heaselgrave said the Open was about more than just tennis. He said that although it was still a great grand slam event, it could do much more as an entertainment vehicle. He said the entertainment zone 'would certainly not be devoid of tennis with plans ranging from many partner-inspired tennis activations to an idea for a special practice court on the banks of the Yarra.' The sun beams down on the Margaret Court Arena as Australia's Jarmila Gajdosova and Alexandra Dulgheru of Romania play in their first round match on Monday . Heaselgrave said increased entertainment was integral to the Open’s future. Melbourne Park is regarded as the most modern and functional of the four grand slam events. It has three major courts equipped with retractable roofs after the completion of the $366 million first phase redevelopment. The event is aiming to break attendance and commercial records this year with a target of 700,000 spectators over the next two weeks if the weather remains good. Summarize this article.
