What is the debate topic for the following sentences?
1. Better knowing who is flying allows security forces to know which cargo -LRB- luggage -RRB- they do need to or do not need to investigate for explosives or drugs , instead of having to search all or do -LRB- ineffective -RRB- random checks .
2. Therefore security profiling is preferable to the alternatives of body scans and invasive pat-downs , both in terms of security efficacy and also in terms of sensitivity to travelers .
3. By definition , pat-downs and body scanners can not prevent such a threat -LRB- indeed they add to them by creating long lines -RRB- , but profiling can , by picking up on suspicious individuals from the moment they enter the airport , or even from when they book their tickets .
4. Profiling also rightly shifts the security focus from cargo to people .
5. Broad screening also creates long lines of people awaiting security at airports .
6. Not only does blanket screening reduce the efficiency of airport operations , impacting on the profits of airlines and the businesses that contract with them , security queues themselves could become targets for terrorists , for example through suicide bombings designed to kill an airplanes worth of passengers before they even get through security .
7. However , when this impact is accumulated over the millions of passengers who fly each year , the effect does indeed become measurable .
8. In essence , by spending billions of dollars on scrutinizing the wrong people , security forces are depleting a reserve of resources that could be spent in screening passengers who are materially more likely to constitute a threat .
9. As Thomas Sowell argues , proponents of invasive pat-downs and body scanners would rather have scanners look under the clothes of nuns than to detain a Jihadist imam for questioning . ''
10. Alternatives to profiling are far more invasive and likely to be more offensive to Muslims than profiling would be .

Well, I'm aware that that statement was modified several times. In fact, there were different drafts of that statement that I had seen. The exact modification, are you telling me that from the time that they had approved it in October, it was modified before it was read in January? Because it was again read in, I believe, like May, and there was a change from that point in time, unless I'm incorrect and that is the change that I'm thinking of.

Muslim world:
Ibn Tufail (Abubacer) and Ibn al-Nafis were pioneers of the philosophical novel. Ibn Tufail wrote the first Arabic novel Hayy ibn Yaqdhan (Philosophus Autodidactus) as a response to Al-Ghazali's The Incoherence of the Philosophers, and then Ibn al-Nafis also wrote a novel Theologus Autodidactus as a response to Ibn Tufail's Philosophus Autodidactus. Both of these narratives had protagonists (Hayy in Philosophus Autodidactus and Kamil in Theologus Autodidactus) who were autodidactic feral children living in seclusion on a desert island, both being the earliest examples of a desert island story. However, while Hayy lives alone with animals on the desert island for the rest of the story in Philosophus Autodidactus, the story of Kamil extends beyond the desert island setting in Theologus Autodidactus, developing into the earliest known coming of age plot and eventually becoming the first example of a science fiction novel.
Please answer a question about this article. If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable". What did Al-Ghazali's write in response to Ibn Tufail's novel?

Adaptation of the endosymbiont to the host's lifestyle leads to many changes in the endosymbiont–the foremost being drastic reduction in its genome size. This is due to many genes being lost during the process of metabolism, and DNA repair and recombination. While important genes participating in the DNA to RNA transcription, protein translation and DNA/RNA replication are retained. That is, a decrease in genome size is due to loss of protein coding genes and not due to lessening of inter-genic regions or open reading frame (ORF) size. Thus, species that are naturally evolving and contain reduced sizes of genes can be accounted for an increased number of noticeable differences between them, thereby leading to changes in their evolutionary rates. As the endosymbiotic bacteria related with these insects are passed on to the offspring strictly via vertical genetic transmission, intracellular bacteria goes through many hurdles during the process, resulting in the decrease in effective population sizes when compared to the free living bacteria. This incapability of the endosymbiotic bacteria to reinstate its wild type phenotype via a recombination process is called as Muller's ratchet phenomenon. Muller's ratchet phenomenon together with less effective population sizes has led to an accretion of deleterious mutations in the non-essential genes of the intracellular bacteria. This could have been due to lack of selection mechanisms prevailing in the rich environment of the host.
What is the term that describes the way the endosymbiont can't go back to its original phenotype? (If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable")

Muller's ratchet phenomenon

I stumbled into Johnny's one day on accident after being disgusted by Z Pizza and I'm glad I did. They do the single best reproduction of the true Chicago hot dog I've had in Phoenix. Perfect bun, dog, relish, onions, sport peppers, celery salt, tomato, and pickles. There is no ketchup to be seen, which scored some big points in my book, until I looked around the corner and saw it was served but with french fries... I guess I can let it slide. Johnny is a nice guy and serves great dogs. Can't beleive nobody has reviewed this place yet...

I bought this a year or more ago for $2 (yep, $2), left it on the shelf for ages, now watching DVDs while holed up with a cold.
This is a haunting movie. Brilliant performances by all involved, especially the 6yo boy (about the only smiles you get in this movie).
Plot reminds me of perhaps my favourite movie ever, Grosse Pointe Blank, but obviously that's lighthearted, this is heavy hearted.
As a psychologist, a clinical and forensic psychologist, a shiver went up my spine when the identity of the new contract was revealed. Scary stuff! Brilliant work all round.

Solicitation: Georgia investigators allege that Roberts used his position of authority and town resources to solicit sex from minors The police chief of a small town in Georgia was arrested Wednesday after a months-long investigation into whether he used his position of authority and town resources to solicit sex from underage boys. Molena police chief and city manager James Roberts was denied bond on Thursday as he's being held on two counts of solicitation of sodomy and one count of theft by conversion. Roberts, who also serves as the mayor of nearby Concord, allegedly used his standing in the county to solicit sex from two young men, even providing one with gas on the county's dime.
The towns have a little more than 700 residents between them, though so far it seems the alleged crimes were confined to

UCAS announced earlier this year that there had been a notable decrease in students from England applying to do at least one nursing course, saying it had fallen 23% to 33,810 in 2017.
Chancellor Philip Hammond spoke last week about the "very high numbers of foreign workers keeping our NHS going".
Looking at the figures from NHS Digital, overall, 82% of NHS staff are UK nationals, with 5% from the European Economic Area (EEA, that's the EU plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway) and 6% from the rest of the world. The remaining 7% are of unknown nationalities.
The unknowns are relatively high because they come from electronic staff records, not HR information, and it is not compulsory for staff to declare their nationalities for those records.
For doctors, it's 70% UK, 9% EEA, 16% from the rest of the world and 5% unknown.
And for nurses and health visitors it is 78% UK, 7% EEA, 8% from the rest of the world and 6% unknown.
To put that into context, according to the latest labour market figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), 7.3% of workers in the UK are EU nationals while 3.9% are from the rest of the world.
Clearly, the unknowns throw comparisons out a bit, but the proportion of NHS staff from the EEA appears to be a bit below the workforce as a whole while there are considerably more from the rest of the world than the workforce average.
For doctors, there are proportionally more foreign nationals than in the workforce as a whole, especially for those from the rest of the world.
If you look at the figures for where doctors earned their qualifications, the rest of the world comes even higher with 27%, compared with 64% from the UK and 9% from the EEA.
Nurses from the EEA work in the NHS in the same proportion as the rest of the workforce while nurses from the rest of the world are overrepresented.

First Thoughts: Over the top
Romney issues over-the-top attack on embassy attacks… And his statement looks worse and worse as new information comes out, including the death of the U.S. ambassador to Libya… Romney camp stands by its attack saying embassy statement came after the u nrest began… More tensions between Obama and Netanyahu… Focusing on Florida… Obama camp goes on the air in Wisconsin… Team Romney again outspending Team Obama on the airwaves this week… And this week’s 10 hottest TV markets.
A day that started with a campaign pause for solemn remembrances of 9/11 ended with violence abroad and mudslinging here in America. The Daily Rundown's Chuck Todd reports.
By Chuck Todd, Mark Murray, Domenico Montanaro, and Brooke Brower
*** Over the top : Yesterday we noted that Mitt Romney, down in the polls after the convention, was throwing the kitchen sink at President Obama. Little did we know the kitchen sink would include -- on the anniversary of 9/11 -- one of the most over-the-top and (it turns out) incorrect attacks of the general-election campaign . Last night after 10:00 pm ET, Romney released a statement on the attacks on the U.S. embassies in Egypt and Libya. After saying he was “outraged” by these attacks and the death of an American consulate worker, Romney said, “It's disgraceful that the Obama administration's first response was not to condemn attacks on our diplomatic missions, but to sympathize with those who waged the attacks.” Yet after learning every piece of new information about those attacks, the Romney statement looks worse and worse -- and simply off-key. First, Romney was referring to a statement that the U.S. embassy in Egypt issued condemning the “efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims.” But that embassy statement, which the White House has distanced itself from, was in reference to an anti-Islam movie and anti-Islam pastor Terry Jones, and it came out BEFORE the embassy attacks began. Then this morning, we learned that the U.S. ambassador to Libya, Chris Stevens, and others died in one of the attacks.

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney addresses the crowd at the 134th National Guard Association Convention at the Reno-Sparks Convention Center, September 11, 2012 in Reno, Nevada.
*** When news-cycle campaigning goes awry: Bottom line: This was news-cycle campaigning by the Romney campaign gone awry. Why didn’t the Romney campaign wait until it had all the facts? On his overseas trip in the summer, Romney was so careful not to criticize Obama while on foreign soil. But how much time do you give an administration to work through a diplomatic and international crisis before trying to score immediate political points? You’d expect the Sarah Palins of the world to quickly pounce on something like this, and she predictably did. But a presidential nominee running for the highest office in the land? After the facts have come out, last night’s Romney statement only feeds the narrative that his campaign is desperate. And given that the Romney camp has already moved on to other subjects this morning -- issuing a press release on debt and not the embassy attacks -- it appears the campaign realizes it, too. Right before our publication time, the Romney camp responds to us that it stands by its statement from last night. The controversial embassy statement, the Romney camp argues, had occurred AFTER the unrest in Egypt and Libya had already begun (citing this CBS report) and that the statement had served as the administration’s sole response until about 10:00 pm ET.
*** More tensions between Obama and Netanyahu: In another sign that foreign affairs and national security have jumped to the top of the issues in the past day, there’s renewed tension between Israel PM Netanyahu and the Obama White House over Iran. The New York Times: “Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel inserted himself into the most contentious foreign policy issue of the American presidential campaign on Tuesday, criticizing the Obama administration for refusing to set clear ‘red lines’ on Iran’s nuclear progress that would prompt the United States to undertake a military strike.” Then came a dispute over whether or not Obama was snubbing Netanyahu by not meeting with him when he comes to the U.S. later this month. In the evening, the White House released a statement saying that Obama and Netanyahu had talked by phone for an hour and adding: “Contrary to reports in the press, there was never a request for Prime Minister Netanyahu to meet with President Obama in Washington, nor was a request for a meeting ever denied.” The Israelis have another version of this phone call and still believe they have been snubbed by not getting that invite. By the way, don’t think Israeli political leaders are united on this. Check out the headline over lead story in the Jerusalem Post: “Mofaz to PM: Are you trying to oust Obama or Ahmadinejad?
*** Focusing on Florida: Today, most of the campaign activity is in Florida, with Romney holding an event in Jacksonville at 9:30 am ET and with Bill Clinton stumping in Orlando at 6:30 pm (after stopping in Miami yesterday). Here is where things stand in Florida right now: It is a must-win state for Romney, and it’s a luxury for Obama -- which could be a knockout blow in this contest if he wins it. Why? According to our battleground map, if Obama wins Florida and just one other toss-up state -- but loses every other one -- he hits or surpasses 270 electoral votes. In other campaign news today, Obama holds an event in Las Vegas at 8:25 pm ET (and conducts an interview with Telemundo).
*** Obama camp goes on the air in Wisconsin: But this map news has to make the Romney campaign smile: The Obama camp is now advertising in Wisconsin, purchasing $670,000 of airtime in the state from Sept 13-19 to match (and exceed) the Romney advertising there. While we’ve had Wisconsin as “toss up” on our battleground map for months, we’ve told you that we’d know if the state were TRULY competitive if both sides were advertising there. Well, now we know… Speaking of TV ads, the Obama camp has this new one that revives its charge that Romney’s tax plan would end up raising taxes on the middle class. And the Romney camp has a new Spanish-language one hitting Obama on Medicare.
*** Team Romney again outspending Team Obama: This week – from Sept. 10-16 –Team Romney (the campaign and outside groups) is outspending Team Obama (campaign and outside groups), $10.7 million to $9.4 million. Here’s the breakdown: Obama camp $7 million, Romney camp $6.9 million, American Crossroads $2.7 million, Priorities USA $2.1 million, Americans for Prosperity $1 million, and SEIU/Priorities $240K. Note: These numbers are a bit smaller than in past weeks because the campaigns pulled down their ads on Sept. 11.
*** This week’s 10 hottest TV markets:
1. Columbus, OH (Romney 1200, Obama 800, Priorities 500, American Crossroads 250)2. Des Moines, IA (Romney 1100, Obama 1000, American Crossroads 270, Priorities 245)3.

C). Have your room priced to retail prices rather than your current rates. Hotels are laid back, affordable, and often balanced, so the price difference is not particularly significant to comparison makers.;
D). Shop around for hotels that offer room refurbishes in areas that house dirty bathrooms, tub bathrooms, and minimum fridge temperature rentals. Hotels located in rockland county, spend quite a bit of money on the convenience.;

Context: The Bengals stayed home for a Thursday Night duel against the Texans. In the first quarter the Texans jumped out to an early lead when Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked a 26-yard field goal to make it 3-0. The Bengals tied it up in the second quarter when Randy Bullock kicked a 39-yard field goal to make it 3-3. Though the Texans would then retake the lead when DeShaun Watson ran for a 49-yard touchdown to make it 10-3. Bullock closed out the first half scoring with a 29-yard field goal to make it 10-6 at halftime. In the third quarter, the Bengals went back to work when Bullock kicked a 30-yard field goal to get his team within a point making the score 10-9. In the fourth quarter, the Texans moved ahead by 4 after Fairbairn kicked a 42-yard field goal to make it 13-9. The Bengals tried to come back with seconds left but after a failed fourth down conversion attempt, the Texans were able to seal the victory. With the loss, the Bengals dropped to 0-2. This would be the team's first 0-2 start since 2008. They are also the first team to open a season with two home games without scoring a touchdown since the 1939 Eagles.

Take a look at this train in Figure 1.11. It looks very futuristic. What do you notice about it? Did you notice that the train has no wheels? How can a train have no wheels? It doesn't need wheels. It actually floats, or levitates, just above the track. Magnets enable the train to do this. This is not a normal train. This is a maglev train. The word maglev stands for magnetic levitation. Because it has no wheels, there is no friction. Some magnets hold the train up. Other magnets are used to move the train forward. This train can go very fast. It can reach speeds up to 480 kilometers (300 miles) per hour! Magnets are pretty cool. What exactly is a magnet? How is it able to exert such force?
Question: "Is there a kind of train that has no wheels?"

Here is a question about this article: In the early 1980s, Philips produced a LaserDisc player model adapted for a computer interface, dubbed "professional". In 1985, Jasmine Multimedia created LaserDisc Juke Boxes featuring music videos from Michael Jackson, Duran Duran, and Cyndi Lauper. When connected to a PC this combination could be used to display images or information for educational or archival purposes, for example thousands of scanned medieval manuscripts. This strange device could be considered a very early equivalent of a CD-ROM.

/ Updated By Elizabeth Chuck
Lawyers for a man with permanent brain damage are suing a driver and Snapchat after they say the speed tracker on the social media platform caused the car crash that injured him.
Christal McGee, of Spalding County, Georgia, was driving a Mercedes Benz at about 11:15 p.m. on Sept. 10, 2015, while using a filter on Snapchat that tracks how fast users are moving, alleges the lawsuit, which was filed of behalf of victim Wentworth Maynard earlier this month.
McGee wanted to post an image of herself going fast, so she "pushed the speed of her Mercedes to above 80 miles per hour. McGee then pushed the speed of her Mercedes to above 90 miles per hour. And McGee continued to push the speed of her Mercedes to above 100 miles per hour,” according to the lawsuit, filed by attorney Michael Lawson Neff.
Snapchat's speed tracker rewards users who submit photos of their speed by giving them points, the suit notes. By the time McGee collided with Maynard's Mitsubishi, she was driving approximately 107 mph on a Clayton County, Georgia, boulevard that has a speed limit of 55 mph.
"McGee was traveling so fast, there was no time to react. Maynard’s car was struck so violently it shot across the left lane into the left embankment," a statement on Neff's firm's website said.

Maynard, who was just starting his shift as an Uber driver, suffered a severe traumatic brain injury. He spent five weeks in a hospital intensive care unit after the crash, lost 50 pounds, and can no longer work, much less take care of himself, Neff said.
"The issue really is about distracted teenage drivers. It's about Snapchat encouraging teenagers to drive at fast speed for social status," Neff told NBC News, adding that neither McGee, who he said is 18 now, nor Snapchat have responded to the suit.

Petitions on Change.org have called on Snapchat to eliminate the speed tracker, Neff said.
"It's a national safety issue," he said.
In a statement to NBC News, a Snapchat spokesperson said, "No Snap is more important than someone’s safety. We actively discourage our community from using the speed filter while driving, including by displaying a "Do NOT Snap and Drive" warning message in the app itself."
According to Neff, McGee posted a shot of herself on Snapchat after the crash with blood dripping down her forehead with the caption, "Lucky to be alive." She could not be reached by NBC News.
It isn't clear what the extent of her injuries were, or if the three passengers who were in her car were injured.
McGee could not be reached. It was unclear if she had yet obtained legal representation. ||||| A car crash victim in Georgia is suing Snapchat for his crash — claiming the messaging app “motivated” the careless driver who hit his car last year, leaving him with permanent brain damage.
The suit, from former Uber driver Wentworth Maynard, says Snapchat was “the critical cause” of the crash, thanks to a filter urging users to show the speed of their cars.
Maynard and his wife were merging onto a highway near Atlanta Sept. 10 when they were struck by Christal McGee, according to court docs.
McGee, who had three passengers, was barreling down the road at more than 100 mph while taking selfies with Snapchat’s speed filter. The app awards a “trophy” to users who post pics showing off their speed.
The filter “facilitated McGee’s excessive speeding” and “distracted” her in the moments before the crash, the suit says.
McGee was going about 107 mph when she hit Maynard’s Mitsubishi Outlander, the suit says.
She kept snapping even after impact. A photo released by Maynard's attorneys shows McGee in an ambulance gurney, with blood running down her face, under the caption, "Lucky to be alive."
The crash left Maynard with brain damage, and the suit says he has been unable to work since the accident.

It’s unclear if McGee or her passengers suffered serious injuries.
The lawsuit, which also names McGee as a defendant, demands unspecified damages from Snapchat, a five-year-old company valued at $16 billion.
“We’ll see to it that Christal McGee is held responsible, but we also want to see Snapchat held responsible,” T. Shane Peagler, one of Maynard’s attorneys, said in a statement.
“This is a product liability case because Snapchat put something very dangerous in the marketplace without any warnings or safeguards, and basically said, whatever happens, happens.”
Snapchat has a warning on its speed filter, telling users: “Please, DO NOT Snap and drive.”
The company declined comment, citing pending litigation.

A summary of this is?

– A Georgia man claims the car accident that left him with permanent brain damage was caused by a teen too busy taking selfies to pay attention to the road, NBC News reports. Now he's suing the teen, Christal McGee, and Snapchat. The lawsuit filed this month claims McGee was using Snapchat's speed filter at the time of the crash last September. As the New York Daily News explains, the filter adds a user's speed to their photo to show how fast they were moving when it was taken. Lawyers for Wentworth Maynard say McGee, 18, admitted to trying to get her Mercedes Benz up to 100mph in order to post a photo using the speed filter, CNN reports. When she crashed into Maynard's car, she was going about 107mph—nearly double the speed limit. Maynard spent five weeks in the hospital following the crash, according to the lawsuit. He lost 50 pounds, requires a wheelchair or walker to get around, can't work, and can't take care of himself. And his lawyers say McGee wasn't done with Snapchat even after the crash. They claim she took a selfie with blood dripping down her face and the caption "lucky to be alive" immediately after the accident (that photo can be seen here). Maynard is seeking unspecified damages to cover his medical bills. "The issue really is about distracted teenage drivers," his lawyer tells NBC. "It's about Snapchat encouraging teenagers to drive at fast speed for social status." A Snapchat spokesperson says it discourages people from using its speed filter while driving with an in-app warning message. (The Snapchat Bob Marley filter did not go over well.)

At the time she wrote the Longshot miniseries, writer Ann Nocenti was pursuing her Master's degree at the School of International and Public Affairs, Columbia University, working at the magazine Lies of Our Times, and reading the work of writers like Marshall McLuhan, Noam Chomsky, Edward S. Herman and Walter Lippmann. Mojo, a slaver and dictator who rules his dimension through the television programs he produces, was created as a direct result of these influences. (A character named Manufactured Consent after the Chomsky book of the same name, who appeared in Nocenti's 1990 book The New Mutants Summer Special, was also born of these works.) Artist Art Adams designed the character per Nocenti's instructions that he be disgusting and unpleasant, and also tried to make him look frightening. The wires that hold Mojo's eyelids open, thus preventing him from blinking, were inspired by an interview with actor Malcolm McDowell on Late Night with David Letterman, in which McDowell revealed that the similar apparatus he had to wear for the Ludovico technique scene in A Clockwork Orange had scarred his corneas. The rest of the equipment attached to Mojo's head controls his mechanized chair. Mojo first appeared in Longshot #4 (December 1985), and was the main villain of the miniseries, appearing in the subsequent three issues. The character subsequently appeared in The New Mutants Annual #2 (1986). That same year, in The Uncanny X-Men Annual #10, Mojo appeared as the villain in the story, which saw Longshot join the X-Men. In 1988, Mojo appeared in a backup story in The Uncanny X-Men Annual #12. He was the main villain of the one-shot special Excalibur: Mojo Mayhem (December 1989). Subsequent appearances include Marvel Comics Presents #89 (1991), The Uncanny X-Men Annual #15 (1991), Wolverine #52 (March 1992), X-Men #6 (March 1992), Wolverine #53 (April 1992), X-Men #7 (April 1992), #10-11 (July-August 1992), The Uncanny X-Men Annual 16 (Annual 1992), Marvel Comics Presents #119 (1993), What If? #59 (March 1994), X-Men Adventures: Season Two #11 (December 1994), Marvel: Portraits of the Universe #1 (March 1995), X-Men: Mutations #1 (1996), Youngblood/X-Force #1 (July 1996), X-Force/Youngblood #1 (August 1996), X-Force #60-61 (November-December 1996), The Adventures of the X-Men #9-10 (1996-January 1997), X-Babies: Murderama #1 (January 1998), X-Force #76 (April 1998), X-Babies Reborn #1 (January 2000), X-Men Unlimited #32 (September 2001), Exiles #18-19 (December 2002-January 2003), The Uncanny X-Men #460-461 (August 2005), and Exiles #73-74 (February 2006).

News article:
Les Moonves' $69.9M Makes Him Highest-Paid Media CEO of 2011 -- So Far
Head of most-watched network earned 21 percent more than in 2010
Tim Molloy Follow @TimAMolloy By
CBS Corp. president and CEO Leslie Moonves received $69.9 million in compensation last year, making him the highest-paid media CEO of companies that have so far disclosed their executives' 2011 pay.
His compensation was up 21 percent from the $57.7 million he received in 2010, which was up 34 percent from the year before. His compensation was included in a Security Exchange Commission filing Friday.
CBS stock was up more than 40 percent last year.
"In fact, the company is the second best performing stock in the entire S&P 500 since March of 2009, up 11-fold in that time frame," CBS said in a statement. "The vast majority of this year’s pay is once again keyed to performance-based measures, closely aligning the overall value of the compensation with that of the Company’s shareholders."

CBS executive chairman Sumner Redstone received $20.3 million in 2011, almost exactly the same amount he received in 2010.
Moonves' compensation included a base salary of $3.5 million, plus a $27.5 million bonus, $8.5 million in stock awards, and $27.3 million in option awards. Redstone's included a $1.75 million base, a $10 million bonus, $5.5 million in stock awards, and $3 million in option awards.
In 2010, Moonves was the second-highest paid media executive behind Viacom president and CEO Philippe P. Dauman, whose $84.5 million in compensation also made him the highest-paid U.S. CEO overall. For the latest fiscal year, Dauman received a mere (irony intended) $43.1 million.
Also read: The New Tech Kingpins, Who Are Apple's Tim Cook & Google's Larry Page?
The highest-paid CEO overall for 2011 depends on how you count. The New York Times says Apple CEO Tim Cook's $378 million makes him the best compensated. But a Fortune report argues that the $378 million figure is misleading because Cook will only receive the money if he remains with the company over 10 years.
The Times' list of highest-paid executives, compiled with help from executive-pay tracking firm Equilar, found that Oracle's Lawrence J. Ellison followed Cook last year with $77.6 million in compensation, and that he was followed by J.C. Penny's Ronald B. Johnson at $53.3 million.
Moonves would appear to have bumped Johnson for the third-place spot -- if you accept that Cook is indeed No. 1.

While chatting with Stern on Wednesday, the 31-year-old reality star opened up about her relationship with Lamar Odom, claiming that he had been cheating on her for "the majority" of their marriage. "I'm genuinely blown away as to when he fit that in," she said of her estranged husband's alleged infidelities.

Kardashian told Stern she never even suspected that the former NBA pro was capable of being unfaithful. "Lamar was so great at making me feel like I was the only one and I'm this princess," she recalled. "I never speculated cheating."
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians star claimed that Odom kept his alleged indiscretions from her by using his assistant's phone rather than his own. After a woman gave an interview claiming to have had a fling with the 36-year-old athlete, Kardashian said Odom told her that the woman had him confused with one of his teammates on the Los Angeles Clippers. "It's humiliating on any level," she admitted.

Kardashian said she never asked Odom why he married her in the first place, but noted that she did inquire as to why he allegedly cheated on her. "I've always asked why and obviously Lamar did struggle with substance abuse," she said. "I do believe there's a sex addiction but I also don't know if I believe in a sex addiction that much."
When asked if she regrets marrying Odom after only a month of knowing him, Kardashian admitted, "I don't think I would do it again, but I don't regret what I did."

"I wouldn't change what I did because it was also one of the best times of my life," she added. "For me, I wouldn't say it's a mistake. I needed that experience for me. The love I received was the love I needed to have at that time."
Kardashian -- who is currently dating NBA pro James Harden -- said her romance with Odom was the "most intense relationship" she's ever had. "I love him dearly and I will always love him. He's had a really f**ed up deck of cards dealt to him his entire life so far," she said. "Sometimes love is not enough. I can't love someone into loving me."
WATCH: Lamar Odom Spotted Out and About For the First Time Since Hospitalization
In October, Odom was found unresponsive in a Nevada brothel and was hospitalized until earlier this month. His health scare led to Kardashian delaying their divorce, allowing her to make decisions on his behalf.
Kardashian gave ET an update on Odom's recovery when ET's Kevin Frazier met up with her on the set of her new show, Kocktails With Khloe. "He's definitely doing better and better every day which I'm so grateful for," she said.

By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 11:55 EST, 16 July 2013 | UPDATED: 12:54 EST, 16 July 2013 A single Twitter user is behind the online uproar on Monday that pressured literary agent Sharlene Martin to drop a book deal with a member of the jury for George Zimmerman's murder trial. User @MoreAndAgain expressed her outrage on Twitter Monday evening after the juror, identified only as juror B37, revealed that she was planning to write a book about the trial. The user dug up the name of the literary agency, Martin Literary Management, that was planning to represent the juror and encouraged users to message the agency's owner, Sharlene Martin.
For the moment, veteran publicists say

Government money can go directly to bank accounts
Come up with some evidence to support this claim.
|
1. This will enable those who get these ID to set up a bank accounts to enable the cash to be transferred to them as it will in effect be giving them with new ID .
2. In India the proposal is that the payments will be linked to the new biometrics based ID system that assigns a unique number to everyone based upon physical traits -LRB- although this is not yet fully implemented -RRB- this will reach the whole population including those who currently have no identity papers .
3. Instead money should be sent directly to the poorests bank accounts .
4. Direct cash transfers can obviously be done very simply through simply handing out cash but this is clearly open to corruption .

According to IMDb Takashi Miike's Master of Horror-segment, Imprint, was banned in the US. So I figured I'd translate the Swedish review I just wrote for it...
It was hard to NOT have any sort of expectations from Ichi The Killer-director Takashi Miike's episode in the Masters of Horror series. And the DVD-cover of Imprint did in deed look very promising.
The story mostly takes place in a remote Japanese bordello, some time during the 19th century, and it tells the tale of a journalist searching for Komomo, the woman he left behind and whom he promised to return for. Tired and dejected he arrives at the bordello, hoping that this will be the end of his very long journey. It turns out that one of the prostitutes, a deformed and quiet girl, know about Komomo, and the desperate man makes her tell him where she is and what has happened to her since he left. The story she tells him is as deplorable as it is hard to swallow...
The first thing that hit me about the episode was how unnatural it seemed that the Japanese cast for the most part spoke fluent American-English. But I will leave it at that, it's not that big a deal. What IS a big deal however is how miserable the rest of it was. Miike's tale moves at such a slow pace that I couldn't help looking at my watch several times during the 63 minutes. The extended torure-scene, that takes place somewhere in the middle of the movie, felt so unmotivated - and pornographically intrusive - that not even THAT scene became interesting. I felt like it was violent just for the sake of violence itself - with no sense of style or purpose. The only scenes that provoked any kind of emotion out of me were the images of bloody fetuses rolling along the bottom of the swiftly flowing water...and, in all honesty, the only emotions they provoked were feelings of disgust.
The journalist seeking the love he left behind is played by Billy Drago, for me most memorable as Frank Nitti - Al Capones whiteclad assassin in Brian De Palmas The Untouchables (1987). I've always found Dragos portrayal of Nitti to be very icy (and I mean that in a good way), and that is probably why I was almost annoyed when I found him to be so terrible (NOT in a good way) in this one. His acting seems to flow between no feelings or empathy whatsoever to displays of some really bad overacting. When his character is supposed to react to the awful things Komomo has been subjected to I was sitting in the sofa, twisting and turning in an attempt to escape the horrible actingjob put forth by Drago. I'm grateful that most of the story is told by Yuoki Kudoh (Memoirs of a geisha, 2005), who plays the deformed prostitute.
The finale is probably supposed to be chocking, maybe even revolting and horrid, but I just found it to be kind of...you know... "blah" (and I looked at my watch again, for the umptieth time, just wishing the crappy episode would end). Maybe the finale caused me to smile just a bit, but that's only because I couldn't help thinking of an episode of Red Dwarf, and the upside-down chins of Craig Charles and Danny John-Jules, with eyes glued on them to make them look like aliens... Lucky you, if you've seen that episode and now decide to see Imprint, I will forever have ruined the visuals of the ending for you.
My first thought, when Imprint finally ended, was that the only thing that made the pain of watching it worth it, was hearing the main title theme by Edward Shearmur (the same music I believe is used in every episode of this series), and that - if anything - is a big friggin warning, don't you think?
One might point to the costume design, by Michiko Kitamura, and say that there, at least, is something NOT lacking in style and refinement...but there are so many other films and TV-shows that is so much better at showing off the Japanese "geisha-fashion". This is nothing but inferior and I am disappointed. Takashi Miike's Masters of Horror-episode is boring, uninspiring and pointless. In other words; It's really, really BAD!

A). negative
B). positive...I think the answer is

We may live in a world of spell check and autocorrect, but there's one place precision still counts: The Scripps National Spelling Bee.
USA TODAY Network invites you to test your spelling prowess on winning words from previous spelling bees.
Best of l-u-c-k!
Read or Share this story: http://usat.ly/1SpKJUs ||||| There are fewer than 100 past winners of the Scripps National Spelling Bee and a few of them have gone on to follow idiosyncratic career paths
Life after the Spelling Bee: 'It’s one of the most unique, odd clubs you can be in'
Money, membership in an elite club, and the certainty of having spelled better than the rest: these are the guerdons of Scripps and the honors of knowing your argot. By and large spelling bee champions make the most of it.
“It’s one of the most unique, odd clubs you can be in,” said Dan Greenblatt, a software engineer, voice actor and winner of the 1984 Bee (his winning word was luge). “There’re only 90 of us, give or take, in this little club.”
The US has crowned a Spelling Bee champion almost every year since 1925, and those champions have mostly pursued careers in fields that reward dedicated study and a knack for jargon, such as medicine, law, chemistry or engineering. But given a hefty cash prize, a trophy and a résumé line that could justifiably read “orthography prodigy”, a few follow more idiosyncratic paths.
Pratyush Buddiga, 26, won the Bee in 2002 (prospicience) and won $840,000 playing poker in 2014 . “I found after the spelling bee I really missed competitions. Competing to be the number one student in your class isn’t that exciting, or the same as winning a tournament,” Buddiga said. “Once I found poker, that was a new avenue to try to be the best.”
Like the spelling bee, Buddiga saw poker on TV and his dabbling quickly turned into a consuming ambition. “When I was in third grade, I think, and saw the spelling bee and decided I wanted to win,” he said. “I saw poker on TV about in high school, and got serious about it in college.” He is competing this summer in the world series of poker in Las Vegas.
Spelling bee winners described the contest as a mix of puzzle-solving and sheer memorization. Contestants learn the root words and spelling patterns of various languages – especially Latin and Greek – and then can often piece together a word based on the spelling of its roots, even when they’ve never heard it before.
But all agreed that at the national level, spellers need to start perusing the dictionary, in the verb’s correct sense (“to read with great care”). Greenblatt said that about a third of contestants were eliminated when dictionary words came into play – and that the contest is far more competitive today than 30 years ago.
Buddiga framed some of the Bee’s appeal in classic terms of the American dream: “It gave me the confidence that no matter what, I can do whatever by working the hardest. I would say even today that winning was still the greatest moment of my life.”
He sees poker in some ways as a progression: a game of logic, psychology and “imperfect information”. Rather than just pure gambling, he likens it to chess: “At its highest level poker is just people implementing strategies, and over the long run it’s whichever strategy will win, not any on hand.”

‘The crying room’
Buddiga, who was 12 when he won the Bee, said that he was too young to realize the pressure that he and other contestants faced. Greenblatt said that the pressure affected other kids in sometimes painful ways.
“When I was there we joked that there was a room called ‘the crying room’,” he said, “because when they escort you offstage after a wrong word, there’s a lot of crying going on. I know there were a lot of broken hearts out there in the side room.”
Samir Patel, a five-time contestant who never won the Bee – in 2007 he lost on ‘clevis’ to Evan O’Dorney – said the pressure mounted as the years wore on. “The first couple times I was really too young, and it was just kind of fun. I was nine or 10, on TV, there were kids all around and we were at a fancy hotel eating all this cool food. Then once I’d come in third and in second, as it wore on, there was more and more gravity to it and pressure from my family.”
Patel later finished a degree in biochemistry and now works for a hedge fund in Dallas, and said investors still recognize him at conferences. “And I’ll say ‘really, guys?’ But it’s going to be part of my identity forever.”
“On the one hand you learn at a very early age how to handle a huge workload and the value of working hard, but on the other hand you’ve also just memorized a bunch of obscure words that you forget later.”
Eudaemonic elucubration
Spelling Bee champions often earn degrees from prestigious schools and put them to immediate use. Barrie Trinkle (1973, vouchsafe) worked as a Nasa aerospace engineer and Amazon editor; Susan Yoachum (1969, interlocutory) was part of the San Jose Mercury News team that won a 1990 Pulitzer; Jacques Bailley (1980, elucubrate) teaches classics at the University of Vermont and is the “official pronouncer” of the Bee.
Amanda Goad (1992, lyceum) and third-place Srinivas Ayyagari (1994, Ned G Anderson won on antediluvian) went on to win more than $25,000 each on Teen Jeopardy! Both are attorneys (Harvard Law, University of Pennsylvania).
Some younger winners have sought entrepreneurial careers. Rebecca Sealfon (1997, euonym), although only 28, has already acquired three degrees, started a research venture and also works as a software engineer. Sealfon has expressed ambivalence about the bee, writing in 2012 that it reminded her of The Hunger Games.
“Competitive spelling is a very American contest; Americans particularly enjoy watching winners win and losers lose,” she wrote, adding that though she could write her own story, “I [have also] said that the bee shouldn’t exist, that there’s no reason to pit such talented people against one another and that the event would be just as entertaining if we celebrated all of our talents.”
Former champions mostly described the experience of winning as surreal. Under pressure and surrounded by lights and a forest of microphones, spellers sometimes act with surprising aplomb.
Greenblatt said he “did this kind of Andre Agassi pose”, for instance, and Sealfon has the distinction of being one of the internet’s first memes: she shouted every letter of her winning word at the judges while jumping up and down, a cheerleader to her own eudaemonic victory. Winners then go to late-night shows, morning shows and befuddle CNN anchors on air.
“They have a lot of these made-for-TV moments,” Greenblatt said of the contest’s appeal. “And a lot of kids do these kind of funny things when they get something right or something wrong.”
“It’s become a spectacle in part because it’s always been kind of fascinating to see very young children doing things that educated adults have trouble with,” said Shalini Shankar, a professor of sociocultural and linguistic anthropology at Northwestern University.
Shankar, who is researching spelling bees, attributed Scripps’ success in large part to the high production quality that ESPN has devoted to the “brain sport”, featuring statistics and spellers’ profiles.
And although South Asian Americans seem to dominate the contest, Shankar said “it’s kind of an anomaly among these families to get your kids involved.” Regardless of ethnicity, she said, most contestants come from upper-middle-class backgrounds, “with families already pretty well educated, who would emphasize that their kids study – and even within that, the kids really do love it”.
All the winners said they’d at least watch some of this year’s contest, and at least a few said they wouldn’t mind going back. Paige Kimble (1981, sarcophagus) is now executive director of Scripps, and Scott Isaacs (1989, spoliator) is a spelling coach to four current contestants. Isaacs said that what started as a lark – responding to a Craigslist ad for a spelling coach – became a rediscovery of his love of language and teaching.
“In the back of my mind I’ve always loved languages, learning linguistics and being able to decipher words, and then I’ve always enjoyed this sort of competition,” he said. “So it’d be great to pass that on.” ||||| The seed for Wide00014 was:

They may be young, precocious and smart -- but have they read a menu?
Exotic foods were front and center during the preliminary rounds of the 2015 Scripps National Spelling Bee, often coming up and tricking prospective spelling champions with their weird wording and obscure origins.
Clearly, being a gastronome (an enthusiast over and expert judge of excellence in food and drink, spelled correctly by Gavin Buehler in the third round), is a huge asset in this competition.

– Tonight we get to see 285 young minds square off in the Scripps National Spelling Bee finals (8pm EDT on ESPN), and meet at least one more member of one of the world's most elite clubs: winners of the bee. Past victors describe to the Guardian the high stakes of competing and what they're doing now, with one calling it "one of the most unique, odd clubs you can be in." Of course there's the pressure, including the obsessive rote memorization (you need to study the dictionary once you get to the national level), the ability to master Latin and Greek roots, and the painful experience of the "crying room," where kids go after they've misspelled a word. On the other hand, many admit their wins instilled in them confidence, ambition, and a stellar work ethic: Past winners grew up to be a NASA aerospace engineer, an attorney, a Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist, and even a poker champ who won nearly $840,000 in 2014. But not everyone is enthusiastic about what the bee means, to the winners or losers. Rebecca Sealfon, who won in 1997 by spelling "euonym" correctly, compares the competition to The Hunger Games and says "Americans particularly enjoy watching winners win and losers lose." And Indian-American writer Lavanya Ramanathan, who grew up in a similarly competitive household, writes of the bee winners for the Washington Post, "When they’re 30 … will these kids wish that they'd played soccer instead? Because I do." Meanwhile, to help you while away (not wile away) the time before the main event, USA Today wants to fill your brain with all things bee-related, including fun stats, the odd preponderance of foodie-related words in the contest so far, and an interactive quiz that throws past winning words at you to test your own skills. (Bee organizers ran out of words for two youngsters competing in Missouri.)

Unsuccessful nominations to the Supreme Court of the United States
Justices are nominated by the president and then confirmed by the U.S. Senate. A nomination to the Court is considered to be official when the Senate receives a signed nomination letter from the president naming the nominee, which is then entered in the Senate's record. There have been 37 unsuccessful nominations to the Supreme Court of the United States. Of these, 11 nominees were rejected in Senate roll-call votes, 11 were withdrawn by the president, and 15 lapsed at the end of a session of Congress. Six of these unsuccessful nominees were subsequently nominated and confirmed to other seats on the Court. Additionally, although confirmed, seven nominees either declined office or (in one instance) died before assuming office.
Available choices:

Write an article with the title: "Auto Czar Leaves Washington Amidst Pay-to-Play Probe Involving Former Firm"
Article:
|
Steven Rattner, shown here speaking at a New York summit in 2007, is leaving his post in the Obama administration. (Reuters Photo)
The peculiar timing of Steven Rattner's departure as White House car czar has raised questions about the course of an investigation that has scrutinized his possible dealings with the New York state pension fund.
The probe into pay-to-play schemes, part of a long-running and wide-ranging investigation by the Securities and Exchange Commission and New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo, reportedly has intensified as Cuomo's office seeks additional documents from a firm Rattner co-founded.
"Obviously he's been a player" in the probe, said a source familiar with the investigation.
The source confirmed to FOXNews.com that Cuomo has sought documents from Rattner's former firm, Quadrangle Group, though it's unclear when the most recent requests were made.
The Treasury Department announced Monday that Rattner was quitting as counselor to the treasury secretary, a post that made him head of a task force with a broad mandate to manage the bailout of General Motors and Chrysler Group.
According to a Feb. 23 statement on his hire, Rattner was to "serve as an adviser on a variety of economic and financial matters, and will lead the Treasury's efforts with regard to the automobile sector."
Though the task force couldn't prevent GM and Chrysler -- which have received about $80 billion in taxpayer cash -- from avoiding bankruptcy, Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner praised Rattner for his performance, and suggested his job was limited to guiding the bankruptcy process all along.
"With the emergence of both General Motors and Chrysler from bankruptcy, we enter a new phase," Geithner said in a written statement.
He said Rattner had decided to "transition back to private life and his family in New York City." Former United Steelworkers official Ron Bloom will take the helm as the new auto czar. Rattner is not expected to return to Quadrangle.
Back in April, the White House stood by Rattner when reports surfaced that he was tied to the deal being investigated by the SEC and the New York attorney general's office. In his statement Monday, Geithner gave no indication that Rattner's departure was tied to the ongoing probe.
But Brian Kolb, Republican leader in the New York State Assembly, said rumors are swirling in Albany that Rattner's departure is somehow linked to the investigation. He said he thought it is strange for Rattner to leave Washington so soon after taking the position.
"It's pretty fair to assume that that's not going to be a three-month job," he said of Rattner's charge to revive the auto industry. "I would ... have one eyebrow raised as to what's really going on here."
"The timing is interesting," added the source familiar with the probe. "You'd think he'd want to stick around a little bit longer."
The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday that Cuomo's office had stepped up its scrutiny of both Quadrangle and Rattner.
That's after an SEC complaint in April detailed a "transaction" in which Quadrangle struck a deal worth $100 million with the state pension fund after a "senior executive" of the firm met with a former official under then-Comptroller Alan Hevesi. The complaint said the firm paid more than $1 million as part of the deal.
The Journal reported in April that the "senior executive" was Rattner.
Though two former officials in the comptroller's office -- David Loglisci, the former chief investment officer, and Hank Morris, a former adviser to the comptroller -- have been indicted on corruption charges, Rattner has so far not been accused of wrongdoing.
A Treasury official told FOXNews.com in an e-mail that Rattner's decision to leave Washington was all his own. The official said the department had intended to reduce the size of the auto task force after Chrysler and GM emerged from bankruptcy anyway, and that Rattner was the first to leave once that happened.
A spokesman for Cuomo's office did not return repeated phone calls Tuesday.
David Rosenfeld, associate director for the SEC's New York office, would not comment on how heavily the SEC is focusing on Quadrangle or Rattner. The federal probe is on a parallel but separate track from Cuomo's office.
"The SEC's investigation is continuing, it is widespread and it is ongoing," Rosenfeld said.
FOXNews.com's Judson Berger contributed to this report.

Summarize the following:
Take steps to becoming an athletic person by finding a fun sport to play. Depending on your own personal interests and strengths, this decision could vary. If you enjoy especially competitive games with a lot of running, consider soccer or rugby. If you enjoy strength-specific activities, try power lifting or wrestling. Take this quiz to see which sport is best for you: https://www.kentsport.org/get-active/find-your-sport. Research the sport to see if it’s right for you. Sports like basketball may seem fun, but they could be difficult if you’re on the shorter end of the height spectrum. Check here to see which sport is best for your body type: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-28062001. For example, more aggressive people might be interested in hockey or boxing, while less aggressive people might have more fun swimming. Stay regimented in your exercise routine by incorporating a sport into your daily workouts. Check online to see if there are nice gyms or parks nearby where you can practice the sport of your choice. Depending on where you go, you might bump into someone with similar interests and athletic goals! Running shorts and yoga pants are great options to consider, as well as moisture-wicking shirts. Also, make sure you have a comfortable sneakers or running shoes on whenever you exercise. Tank tops and wind resistant jackets are also great items to consider. Sign up for a school or community team after you feel more comfortable in a certain sport. Playing on a community level helps you to pursue your athletic goals on a smaller level while also getting a better understanding of the sport in real time. If you get especially interested or engaged in a certain sport, consider looking into professional training options.
Summary:

Find a sport that interests you. Go to a local park or gym to practice the sport. Buy some clothes that give you more breathing room while you exercise. Join a local team or league.

(CNN) -- The recent NATO summit in Newport, Wales was initially meant to prepare the alliance for the post-Afghanistan era and pooling of resources at the time of defense cuts, known in NATO lingua as "smart defense." However, as often happens, the summit agenda was hijacked by more current and dramatic developments: the rise of ISIS in Iraq and Russia's push into Ukraine. Both these developments have reminded NATO that its core business -- the defense of its member states -- needs to be returned to the center of the alliance's agenda. Russia's annexation of Crimea and continued push into the south-east of Ukraine -- a NATO partner country -- has inevitably provoked fear amongst Ukraine's neighbors, all of whom have relatively fresh memories of Russian domination.
The announcement that NATO would spend 15 million euros ($19M) on military aid to Ukraine did not impress the

After hearing buzz about this place for sometime, decided to finally pony up to the bar and see what the fuss was about! Walking into this place, you can tell it's ideally set up to handle the uptown lunch rush. Plenty of space between the tables, is a great plus. Even at the peak times, you can have a meal without being jostled and still be able to hear yourself think! This is where it went downhill. First timers here will be confused when they are handed a card, menu and wished the best of luck. Good thing I was lunching it with two veterans. They showed me the ropes behind the self-service concept (I assume this was supposed to be the charge of the girl at the register, but she wasn't interested). I ordered a special off the board. It was billed as pasta with pan fried ham, french blue cheese, arugula, and garlic. What I got was a bit different. The chef started out by pan frying the ham. All 4 little cubes of it. Added the blue cheese (again, missed the portion of cheese I was supposed to get by a WIDE margin). In what I can only assume was a little kitchen creative liberty, he then substituted spinach for the arugula (spinach = inferior greenery to the almighty arugula). Finished off the pan sauce with not even enough of a ladle of cream to get the spinach wet! That's OK though, because his plan all along, I guess, was to add the requisite moisture by not completely straining the pasta from the water before adding it to the pan. End result was a bland, underseasoned bowl of pasta (and little else) sitting in water. No bueno. Accompanying this disappointment was bread (VERY good and fresh baked, actually) and a side salad which was served in a dish big enough to hold 4 pieces of lettuce and one crouton. $20 out the door (whaaaaa?). This place is like a hibachi grill. You aren't paying for good food. You're paying for the entertainment of cook to order and ambiance. Except no one juggles knives in this place. Luce still reigns supreme for Uptown Italian, both in quality and value, by a country mile.

He repeatedly calls on his followers to embrace martyrdom since "The walls of oppression and humiliation cannot be demolished except in a rain of bullets." For those yearning for a lost sense of order in an older, more tranquil world, he offers his "Caliphate" as an imagined alternative to today's uncertainty. For others, he offers simplistic conspiracies to explain their world. Bin Laden also relies heavily on the Egyptian writer Sayyid Qutb. A member of the Muslim Brotherhood executed in 1966 on charges of attempting to overthrow the government, Qutb mixed Islamic scholarship with a very superficial acquaintance with Western history and thought. Sent by the Egyptian government to study in the United States in the late 1940s, Qutb returned with an enormous loathing of Western society and history. He dismissed Western achievements as entirely material, arguing that Western society possesses "nothing that will satisfy its own conscience and justify its existence." Three basic themes emerge from Qutb's writings. First, he claimed that the world was beset with barbarism, licentiousness, and unbelief (a condition he called jahiliyya, the religious term for the period of ignorance prior to the revelations given to the Prophet Mohammed). Qutb argued that humans can choose only between Islam and jahiliyya. Second, he warned that more people, including Muslims, were attracted to jahiliyya and its material comforts than to his view of Islam; jahiliyya could therefore triumph over Islam. Third, no middle ground exists in what Qutb conceived as a struggle between God and Satan. All Muslims-as he defined them-therefore must take up arms in this fight. Any Muslim who rejects his ideas is just one more nonbeliever worthy of destruction. Bin Laden shares Qutb's stark view, permitting him and his followers to rationalize even unprovoked mass murder as righteous defense of an embattled faith. Many Americans have wondered, "Why do 'they' hate us?" Some also ask, "What can we do to stop these attacks?" Bin Laden and al Qaeda have given answers to both these questions.

Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
Mary Mary are an American gospel duo composed of sisters Erica Atkins-Campbell and Trecina Atkins-Campbell. Formed in 1998, Mary Mary was launched into mainstream recognition following the release of their best-selling debut album, Thankful (2000), which contained the hit single "Shackles (Praise You)". Their followup album Incredible (2002), reached number one on the Top Gospel Albums chart. Their third album, Mary Mary (2005), which contains themes the public interpreted as a channel to the group's experience, contains the worldwide hits "Heaven", "The Real Party", and "Yesterday".
The Atkins sisters, born Erica Monique and Trecina Evette, grew up in a large family with seven siblings in Inglewood, California. Their mother, Thomasina Atkins, is an evangelist and choir director at the Church of God in Christ. Their father, Eddie A. Atkins, was also a member of the Church of God In Christ, and a youth counselor, before he died in 2013. Due to their proximity in age, the two sisters grew up closer to one another than to any of their siblings: Darrell Atkins (born 1965, the only living boy- the second boy died as a child), Maliea Atkins (born 1967), Erica (born 1972), Tina (born 1974), Delisa Atkins-Brown (born 1977), Thomasina Atkins (born 1979), Alana Atkins-Jamison (born 1985), and Shanta Atkins (born 1986). Later, they would work creatively with over half of their siblings; Thomasina, Alana, Delisa and Shanta Atkins all sing background on Mary Mary's albums and during stage performances and Delisa was originally a member of the group but left before they started recording professionally due to pursuing college. Eventually, all eight Atkins children united on the Bobby Jones Gospel show on BET. During this time, Erica and Trecina entered the world of church choirs, traveling gospel shows, and television productions. The sisters enrolled at El Camino College to study voice. There they encountered the division between rigorous academic study of music versus the popular musical world. "We had to study classical and sing arias, which was fine," Erica told Times, "but the teachers would tell us if we sang anything else it would damage our instrument." In 1995 the two toured with Michael Matthews' traveling gospel shows, Mama I'm Sorry and Sneaky. Each sister subsequently toured as a backup singer for a variety of R&B acts, including Brandy.

Summarize this article in one sentence.
Using your regular shampoo and conditioner regimen, wash your hair as you normally would. Rinse your hair clean of shampoo and conditioner. Using a hair dryer might change the way your hair reacts in a certain amount of time, so using a towel and air to dry your hair is the best method. Andre Walker, hairstylist for Oprah Winfrey, created a system for determining hair type primarily based on curl size and pattern. This includes a range of hair types from straight to coily. 1 (straight): Hair has no curve in it at all. 2 (wavy): Hair is wavy but does not curl much. 3 (curly): Hair is curly with an S shape and holds a definite curl pattern even when unstyled. 4 (coily): Hair is tightly coiled or kinky, often with a definite Z pattern. It can be stretched out and will return to its curled shape when released. Type 4 hair might shrink up to 75% of its actual length. Take a look at a representative chunk of your hair. Observe the thickness and pattern of the curl (if you have curls). , These are also based on the Andre Walker system that categorizes hair into four types and three subcategories per type. 1A: Hair is soft and cannot hold a curl. 1B: Hair does not curl but has more volume. 1C: Hair does not curl and is rather coarse. 2A: Hair is wavy, resembling the letter S, and is coarse. 2B: Hair is often frizzy with a definite wave. 2C: Hair is very frizzy with thick waves, and is the coarsest of this category. 3A: Curls are about the same diameter as sidewalk chalk, or pretty loose curls. 3B: Curls are about the same diameter as a sharpie, or medium-sized curls. 3C: Curls are about the same diameter as a pencil, or corkscrew curls. 4A: Curls are very tight, about the same diameter as a needle. 4B: Curls resemble a zigzag pattern, looking like the letter Z. 4C: There might not be a curl pattern to this hair type. It has a tight zigzag with an uneven pattern, so it is harder to define. The LOIS system is a curl typing system that considers strand texture and thickness as well. It compares a strand of your hair to the letters L (Bend), O (Curl), I (Straight) and S (Wave). Take a single strand and hold it up with one hand. Compare your hair to the shapes of the letters L, O, I and S. L: Your strand looks like the letter L, with right angles, bends and folds. This is kinky, zigzag pattern hair. O: Your strand resembles the letter O or spirals into several Os. I: Your strand is straight with little to no curves or waves, resembling the letter I. S: Your strand is wavy and curves back and forth like the letter S. Combination: Your strand might have a combination of two or more of these letters. If this is the case, check a few more strands of hair from all over your head to see if one of the letters is more dominant.
Summary:
|
Wash your hair. Let your hair air dry. Determine your hair’s curl pattern. Find your hair subcategory. Compare your hair to the LOIS system.

The effects of local surface low pressure are extremely limited because upper-level subsidence still continues to block any form of air ascent. Also, to be protected against rain-bearing weather systems by the atmospheric circulation itself, the desert is made even drier by his geographical configuration and location. Indeed, the extreme aridity of the Sahara can't be only explained by the subtropical high pressure. The Atlas Mountains, found in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia also help to enhance the aridity of the northern part of the desert. These major mountain ranges act as a barrier causing a strong rain shadow effect on the leeward side by dropping much of the humidity brought by atmospheric disturbances along the polar front which affects the surrounding Mediterranean climates.
Try to answer this question if possible (otherwise reply "unanswerable"): What mountain helps enhance the aridity of the desert?

Write an article based on this "The RSPCA has made an appeal to re-home 227 hens and a cockerel that have been removed from a Dorset property."
Article:
|
The charity took the birds from their owner after the hens became sick and the owner struggled to cope.
The flock is being housed in a barn by the charity and they have been treated for a disease called Mycoplasma, which has symptoms similar to a cold.
According to the charity the birds are still capable of laying and living a perfectly normal life.
RSPCA inspector Patrick Bailey said: "Now they are back to being healthy we are hoping there are some kind members of the public who would like to offer them a new home in time for Christmas."
Anyone who would like to re-home one of the hens should contact the RSPCA for further details.
The charity is requesting a donation of £1 per bird.
