Article: The tube might be from a paper towel roll or poster. It should be at least 12 inches long, 2-5 inches in diameter at its mouth, and have one end stopped with tape or with a cap. Place something soft in the closed end such as cotton balls or a wad of soft fabric. In order to make the the tube sit on a flat surface without it rolling about, you'll need to create a flat edge on the tube. Press a long crease in the tube along its length, then press another crease in the tube approximately 40 degrees around from the first crease. Stick a ruler in the tube to further flatten the space between the shortest distance from one crease to the other. Place a piece of cheese, candy, or bread in the far end of the tube. Ensure it is of sufficient mass to attract a mouse but not so heavy that it will significantly alter the weight of the tube. Do not choose foods which are sticky or gummy; they can be hard to get all the way down the tube. If you do want to use, say, peanut butter, you could apply them to the bait end of the tube before applying the cap. Place the tube in such a way so that about 40% of it, including the baited end, hangs over the edge of the landing. If necessary, affix the tube with a small piece of tape, but take care not to tape it so firmly that it would not give way and tip over the edge of the landing or countertop when the baited end was subjected to slight force. If you're in a single story home, obtain a cardboard box approximately one foot high and craft a cardboard ramp up to the top of the box. Place one end of the tube at the end of the box. The can should be wide enough to accommodate the falling tube. Place a small pillow, soft cloth, or pad on the bottom of the can to cushion the tube and mouse who will soon be trapped within. Do not use a trash can which is too wide. If you do, it's possible the tube will come to rest on an angle, rather than straight up and down. If that happens, the mouse will be able to climb out of the tube easily. When you see the tube sticking upright out of the trash can, it means the trap has been sprung. Look down the tube to ensure the mouse is within. Remove the tube and, keeping it upright with the open end up, take it at least five to ten miles from your house, preferably in an area free of housing. Dump the mouse out of the tube gently in a field or meadow. This type of trap is extremely effective, and ideal for mice living on or with access to a second story. If you don't think it's appropriate to drop the tube into a garbage pail several feet below the upper-story landing, you could affix the whole tube with a piece of string to the landing itself. That way, instead of dropping down into the garbage pail when the mouse triggered the trap, the tube would drop away and dangle harmlessly off the ledge until you recovered it.
What is a summary of what this article is about? | Obtain a long cardboard tube with one end closed. Flatten the tube along one edge. Bait the tube. Place the tube on the edge of a countertop or second story landing. Place a trash can beneath the tube. Check the trap frequently. | 7 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

David Cameron used RAF jet to fly from Portugal to Glasgow. Prime Minister flew to Portugal on Saturday with his family on Saturday. One day into 10-day villa break he was flown back for Commonwealth Games. He will use RAF plane to fly to France and Belgium to mark WW1 centenary. Postponing holiday by a few days would have saved thousands, critics argue.
Article: | By. John Stevens, Political Reporter. David Cameron has been accused of wasting taxpayers’ money after he used an RAF jet to fly back from his summer holiday after just one day abroad. The Prime Minister flew to Portugal with his wife and three children on Saturday where they are enjoying a 10-day break staying in a villa. But after just a few hours in the sun, he was yesterday flown home by the Royal Squadron so he could attend the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. Scroll down for video. Jet-setting: David Cameron has been accused of wasting taxpayers' money after he used an RAF jet to fly back from his summer holiday in Portugal to attend the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games. He will today use the RAF plane to fly to France and Belgium for the First World War commemorations before flying back to Portugal on a commercial flight at his own expense. The Prime Minister has been criticised for not postponing his holiday for just a few days, which would have saved taxpayers thousands of pounds. Mr Cameron’s extraordinary travel plan will see him rack up around 3,700 air miles in just three days. Labour MP Thomas Docherty said: ‘Why couldn’t he just have booked his holiday for after these events, rather than blowing thousands of pounds of taxpayers’ money jetting backwards and forwards? Fellow colleague Steve Pound added: ‘It’s not like he didn’t know these events were happening - we’ve known the date of the First World War anniversary for 100 years.’ Mr Cameron, who has previously been accused of being too good at ‘chillaxing’, had an Easter break with his family in Lanzarote. He and his wife will also take their traditional break to Cornwall later this summer with their children Nancy, eight, Arthur, six, and Florence, 23 months. Last year, Mr Cameron was criticised for taking four summer holidays to Scotland, Portugal, Ibiza and Cornwall. But he argued that he checked his BlackBerry and remained in charge of the country and ready to ‘spring into action’ no matter where he was. Ed Miliband is set to spend a fortnight in the French countryside on holiday. His summer reading list is said to include a detective thriller by JK Rowling, a 1994 true-crime story set in the Deep South and a work by Tristram Hunt, the shadow education secretary. Meanwhile Nick Clegg, the deputy prime minister, has already spent a week in Spain visiting his wife Miriam’s family. He has returned to Westminster to stand in for Mr Cameron during his break, but will fly back to Spain later this month. Downing Street said the Prime Minister is entitled to use the Royal Squadron for official business. Chillaxing: David and Samantha Cameron on a Cornwall beach in 2008.

Article: Biodiversity's relevance to human health is becoming an international political issue, as scientific evidence builds on the global health implications of biodiversity loss. This issue is closely linked with the issue of climate change, as many of the anticipated health risks of climate change are associated with changes in biodiversity (e.g. changes in populations and distribution of disease vectors, scarcity of fresh water, impacts on agricultural biodiversity and food resources etc.) This is because the species most likely to disappear are those that buffer against infectious disease transmission, while surviving species tend to be the ones that increase disease transmission, such as that of West Nile Virus, Lyme disease and Hantavirus, according to a study done co-authored by Felicia Keesing, an ecologist at Bard College, and Drew Harvell, associate director for Environment of the Atkinson Center for a Sustainable Future (ACSF) at Cornell University.

They were the first in the world to vote in a referendum for same-sex marriage; the measure may have been introduced in other countries, but by a court decision or a parliamentary vote.
And the joy in Dublin Castle on that Saturday evening in May was unconfined.
More than 3,000 people - gay and straight, parents and children, friends and activists - gathered to cheer each constituency result.
Among them was the drag queen and gay rights activist Panti Bliss, whose arrival was loudly greeted as rainbow flags and Irish tricolours were proudly waved.
From the moment the ballot boxes were opened, it was clear it was an overwhelming 'yes' vote.
'Huge sense of pride' as Ireland says 'yes'
In quotes: Irish same-sex marriage debate
Gay marriage vote shows changed Ireland
One couple who were in the RDS venue in Dublin to watch the count said they could not have been happier.
The result meant that New Zealander Nerilee Ceatha and her Irish partner, Barbra Clinton, could upgrade their 2008 civil union in New Zealand to a civil marriage.
Nerilee said: "Barbra gets to live with her family, with me recognised as her family in her country of origin.
"Today means our young people get a country and a future that we can come back to, that we can be diverse and celebrate our differences.
"Today means everything."
Barbra added: "Today says that Ireland has fabulous young people, fabulous people who came and voted yes.
"I think it says that Ireland has matured."
Also looking on as the votes were counted on that sunny May day was Barry McCrea, a gay man who works in Italy as a university lecturer.
One of thousands who came home to vote, he stood beside his father, Colin, who said he had campaigned for a 'yes' vote to give his gay children equal rights, in spite of the opposition of the Catholic and Christian churches and other religions.
"I think people make up their own minds now," he told me.
"They're saying the church's view isn't necessarily the right one.
"And this was people overwhelmingly saying: 'We think for ourselves.'"
For Barry it was a very emotional day.
"We rely on our fellow citizens to look after us, and this feels like the rest of Ireland embraced us and said: 'There's room for you and you're part of society,'" he said.
"It means everything - I feel fully Irish for the first time."
The year also saw a dress rehearsal for the centenary of the 1916 Easter Rising.
At the beginning of August, President Michael D Higgins, Irish prime minister Enda Kenny and politicians from both side of the Irish border were in Dublin's Glasnevin Cemetery to mark the burial of the Fenian leader Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa 100 years ago.
The funeral is probably best remembered for Padraig Pearse's graveside oration in which he berated the British: "The fools, the fools, the fools. They have left us our Fenian dead.
"And while Ireland holds these graves, Ireland unfree shall never be at peace."
It was noticeable that the Irish army, also officially known as Óglaigh na hÉireann, played a central role in the commemoration.

No Royals at 1916 celebrations
The new year will see a general election taking place against the backdrop of the centenary as well as a growing and recovering economy.
The outgoing Fine Gael and Labour coalition is keen to portray the election as offering voters a choice between continuity and stability versus anarchy and chaos.
Fine Gael TD Regina Doherty said her party had "done a lot" since it was given a mandate in 2011.
"We fixed the economy that was in ribbons at the time, getting our people back to work," she said.
"We're doing that but it's only half-done.
"That's why we're asking people to return this government so that we can create the 200,000 new jobs we need for full employment and to put more [police] on our streets, more teachers in our schools and more doctors and nurses in our hospitals."
But for Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh, the forthcoming campaign will be about ending the austerity of tax rises and public spending cuts associated with the economic crash.
"I believe we will have a new government elected, and that government will hopefully be a left-wing government," he said.
"Then there'll be a change in this state in how it delivers its services."
Unlike the UK, the Republic of Ireland does not have fixed-term parliaments, and the prime minister has the prerogative to decide when the general election will be.
Most commentators believe it will in February, possibly on the 26 of the month.

After independence, the Chief Commissioner's Province of H.P. came into being on 15 April 1948 as a result of integration of 28 petty princely states (including feudal princes and zaildars) in the promontories of the western Himalaya, known in full as the Simla Hills States and four Punjab southern hill states by issue of the Himachal Pradesh (Administration) Order, 1948 under Sections 3 and 4 of the Extra-Provincial Jurisdiction Act, 1947 (later renamed as the Foreign Jurisdiction Act, 1947 vide A.O. of 1950). The State of Bilaspur was merged in the Himachal Pradesh on 1 April 1954 by the Himachal Pradesh and Bilaspur (New State) Act, 1954. Himachal became a part C state on 26 January 1950 with the implementation of the Constitution of India and the Lt. Governor was appointed. Legislative Assembly was elected in 1952. Himachal Pradesh became a union territory on 1 November 1956. Following area of Punjab State namely Simla, Kangra, Kulu and Lahul and Spiti Districts, Nalagarh tehsil of Ambala District, Lohara, Amb and Una kanungo circles, some area of Santokhgarh kanungo circle and some other specified area of Una tehsil of Hoshiarpur District besides some parts of Dhar Kalan Kanungo circle of Pathankot tehsil of Gurdaspur District; were merged with Himachal Pradesh on 1 November 1966 on enactment of Punjab Reorganisation Act, 1966 by the Parliament. On 18 December 1970, the State of Himachal Pradesh Act was passed by Parliament and the new state came into being on 25 January 1971. Thus Himachal emerged as the 18th state of the Indian Union.

Tibet's Next Incarnation
He has never been to Tibet, never breathed the thin air of the high plateau, nor spun a prayer wheel in the shadow of the great Buddhist monasteries. Yet on Aug. 8, 43-year-old Lobsang Sangay was sworn in as the head of the Tibetan government-in-exile. Born in a refugee camp in India and educated in the U.S., Sangay holds no passport or nationality, only a travel certificate. He expresses homesickness for a place that exists in the foreign mind as an otherworldly haven, and in the Tibetan one as an occupied homeland. "Like all of us in exile, I will never be completely at peace until I go to Tibet," he says when we meet in Dharamsala, a scruffy settlement in the Himalayan foothills of India where the Tibetan refugee community coalesced five decades ago. "The question is: How do we get there?"
Sangay's inauguration as Kalon Tripa, or Prime Minister, comes at a critical moment for Tibet both for the 5.4 million Tibetans living inside China and for the 150,000 or so who have chosen exile. Young refugees whose votes carried Sangay to office are questioning their movement's longtime commitment to nonviolent resistance, while an ongoing crackdown by Chinese security forces has failed to suppress dissent within Tibet. (Watch TIME's video "The Dalai Lama on Tibet, China and the Nobel Prize.)
Unlike protest campaigns in the 1950s and '80s, the new wave of demonstrations has flared across the entire Tibetan Plateau, from what China calls the Tibetan Autonomous Region to Tibetan-dominated parts of Sichuan, Qinghai, Gansu and Yunnan provinces. Beijing routinely blames Tibet's exiled spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, for political instability on the high plateau. But many Tibetans argue that the Nobel Peace Prize laureate in fact prevents a violent uprising from erupting in the region. "There is so much anger in Tibet now; it is only because of His Holiness that the people don't rise up," says Tsering Migyur, a Mandarin-speaking undersecretary in the Dalai Lama's office in Dharamsala. Migyur should know. For decades he was a senior officer for the Chinese police and military intelligence in Lhasa, serving as a minority poster boy. In 2000, however, he defected to Dharamsala. "China believes that once the Dalai Lama dies, the movement will lose power," says Migyur. "But the Dalai Lama is actually China's best friend because the next generation will not be so accommodating."
The vast terrain has languished in a state of suspended political animation since 1950, when Chinese communist forces began marching in. Nine years later, rather than further submit to atheist overlords, the Dalai Lama escaped by horseback over the Himalayas to exile in Dharamsala. His flight precipitated an exodus of Tibetans to India, which granted them a refuge that has lasted for generations. Ever since, the cleric who was deemed at age 4 to be the 14th incarnation of a Tibetan deity of compassion, has been reviled by Beijing, which calls him "a wolf in monk's robes."
The intervening 60 years of communist rule have done little to quell the reflexive resistance of Tibetans, who believe their land was effectively independent when the Chinese invaded. (Beijing maintains that Tibet has been part of China for centuries.) China has brought modernity roads, railways, power stations to Tibet, but relations between the country's ethnic Han majority and Tibetans have worsened in recent years. A mass migration of Han into Tibet threatens to culturally and economically overwhelm the sparsely populated but resource-rich plateau, sparking fears that Tibetans will become a minority in their own land. "We cannot afford to carry out our fight generation after generation," says Ogyen Trinley Dorje, the Karmapa or third most senior monk in Tibetan Buddhism, who fled Tibet as a 14-year-old and has lived in Dharamsala since 2000. "If our culture is gone, if our religion is gone, even if we get our independence, what's the point?" See pictures of the Dalai Lama's White House visit.)
Today, the global space for anyone Beijing deems an enemy has shrunk as governments and corporations scramble to accommodate China's rising power. With his tireless globetrotting, jovial air and commitment to nonviolence, the Dalai Lama has single-handedly saved Tibet from the dust heap of obscure ethnic struggles. "Free Tibet" remains a chic crusade worthy of Hollywood's attention. But the Dalai Lama, though in fine health, is 76 years old. While Tibetans believe he will be reincarnated, disputes over which child will be the next Dalai Lama will no doubt break out between the exiled holy men in Dharamsala and the political men in Beijing. It will also take time for the next Dalai Lama to grow up unless the current spiritual leader takes the unprecedented step of ending the line with him, a possibility he raised in a Sept. 24 statement.
To protect his flock in this uncertain era, the Dalai Lama has cleaved what had been indivisible since 1642: the entwined spiritual and secular duties of his post. In March the Dalai Lama announced his political retirement to a tearful parliament in Dharamsala. The next month Sangay, a Harvard Law School graduate who wrote his doctoral thesis on the Tibetan government-in-exile, was elected the new Kalon Tripa. The People's Daily, China's mouthpiece, said Sangay was a "terrorist poised to rule."

Bald Eagle takes flight after recovering from being shot
April 25: Rose Augustine, left, a wildlife keeper at Willowbrook and Rob Negrete, who was one of the two officers involved in the eagle’s initial rescue, release a bald eagle after it recovered from being shot and left to die.Forest Preserve District of DuPage County
A bald eagle in Illinois returned to the wild Friday after what veterinarians called a remarkable recovery after being shot in February and left to die in a backyard.
The eagle was treated at the Willowbrook Wildlife Center and recovered. The bird, which is believed to be about five years old, was taken to a remote location inside Pratt's Wayne Woods Forest Preserve in DuPage County and was released. The location was selected because it offers the bird fertile hunting grounds.

By. Jill Reilly. More than 1,000 people queued outside special vaccination clinics in south Wales offering MMR jabs in a desperate bid to halt the measles epidemic. Following an increase in the number of confirmed cases in the area, parents were urged to vaccinate their children, and today four hospitals in the Swansea region opened drop-in clinics. Parents were seen lining up outside the Paediatric Outpatient department at Morriston Hospital this morning an hour before the doors even opened. Determined: Long queues have formed outside several south Wales hospitals offering MMR jabs to halt the Swansea measles epidemic. Patient: Oliver Corteen, aged 11 months, is held in his father's arms as they queue. Urge: Following an increase in the number of confirmed cases of a measles in south Wales, parents in the area were urged to vaccinate their children. Lined up: Parents and children queue outside the Paediatric Outpatient department at Morriston Hospital in Swansea. The number of confirmed cases of measles in the Swansea epidemic has risen to 588, according to health officials in Wales. The latest figures show that 40 new cases of the disease have been diagnosed since Wednesday. Up to 20 new cases a day are being reported by GPs, with 109 new ones in a week over the Easter period. Health officials have estimated around 3,800 children in the Swansea area have still not had the MMR vaccine and parents are being asked to act. Vaccination: Lauren Durbin, aged 10 months, is given an MMR injection by Sister Sian Owen today. Injection: Kieran Elford, aged 13, is given an MMR injection following the epidemic. Dr Marion Lyons, Director of Health Protection for Public Health Wales, said: 'The alarming numbers of cases of measles and continuing spread of the disease in Wales illustrates how vital it is for parents to get their children vaccinated. 'Unvaccinated children aged between six and 12 months living in or travelling to the outbreak areas of Swansea and Neath Port Talbot can be offered vaccination by their GP. 'There's no adverse effect to this extra jab and those children would still need to receive the recommended two doses at 13 months and three years four months.' Rise: The latest figures show that 40 new cases of the disease have been diagnosed since Wednesday. Dr Lyons added that increasing numbers of people coming forward for the MMR vaccination was encouraging - with just under 600 people in the Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board area alone receiving an unscheduled MMR vaccine in the past seven days. 'We are really pleased to see that 586 people have proactively got the MMR vaccine over the past week, on top of those already scheduled to have it,' she added. 'Though this is a good start, there are still thousands of children who have not had both doses of the MMR jab and so are still at risk from becoming infected with the potentially fatal measles virus. ‘The risk to unvaccinated children in Wales is increasing as the disease. spreads. 'You only need one or two people who haven't had the. vaccination in a community to put at risk babies, toddlers and anyone. else who is vulnerable, such as children with leukaemia who cannot have. the vaccination and pregnant women who haven't been vaccinated. 'Ninety per cent of children receiving one dose of MMR are very quickly. protected against measles. For those completing the recommended two-dose. course of MMR, 99 per cent of children will be protected against. measles.’ She warned: ‘Their health is dependent on those with whom they have. close contact being fully protected against measles so that it cannot. spread to them. The number of confirmed cases of measles (pictured) in the Swansea epidemic has risen to 588, Public Health Wales has confirmed. ‘The current pattern of cases and spread of illness indicates that this. outbreak is likely to continue into the summer months and the risks to. unvaccinated individuals will increase as more people become infected. ‘Protection against the risk of measles by getting MMR vaccination is safe, simple and effective.' Drop-in MMR vaccination clinics are being held by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board between 10am and 4pm on Saturday April 6 at Morriston Hospital, Singleton Hospital, the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend and the Paediatric Outpatients at Neath Port Talbot Hospital. No appointments are necessary. Children and adolescents who have not had their scheduled MMR jabs will be targeted, but officials say 'no-one will be turned away, including adults'.
Here is a summary of the highlights for this article: | Hospitals in the region opened drop-in clinics today following increase. Number of confirmed cases in Swansea has risen to 588.

Summarize the following movie reviews:
1. Unfortunately, despite a praise worthy performance by Elisabeth Shue, the movie did not leave us with a lasting impression or emotional connection.
2. Bizarrely inept.
3. Nothing feels authentic--not the relationships or the earnest performances from the soap opera-pretty cast.
4. A television drama slapped together in a rush.
5. Shamelessly sentimental.
6. A disjointed, incoherent mess.
7. Shue comes perilously close to offensive caricature as the afflicted Molly.
8. Shue's character is supposed to be sweet, but Molly is a shallow and tiresome movie.
9. It is moving and has been well-crafted with much care, and it allows Shue, Eckhart, Jane and Jill Hennessy as Molly's doctor to make solid impressions.
10. In a world desperate for any kind of kinship, the ties between brothers and sisters remain an invaluable and often unexplored treasure.

Write an article that answers the following question: What was the shortest TD run | The Titans opened the regular season at home against the New York Jets on September 10. After a scoreless first quarter, the Titans started to seriously trail as opposing RB Kevan Barlow scored on a one-yard TD run (extra point attempt was good) and an 8-yard TD pass to opposing WR Jerricho Cotchery (extra point attempt failed). In the third quarter, things didn't get any better, as opposing kicker Mike Nugent kicked an 18-yard field goal to make Tennessee trail 16-0. In the fourth quarter, the Titans made a valiant attempt to come back, as RB Travis Henry got a 3-yard and a 1-yard TD run, which were both followed by successful two-point conversions. However, the Jets were just too much as opposing TE Chris Baker caught a 12-yard TD to put the game away. With the loss, the Titans began their season 0-1. | 7 | Flan2021 | drop:2.0.0 | zs_opt |
He was a hero that saved two children from the jaws of a cougar . Standing barely 1.7 meters, the 22-year-old with black-frame glasses might pass more for a Chinese Harry Potter. Yet Shen Huigang is now getting recognition for his bravery in fighting off a cougar on Vancouver Island, Canada, during a family outing. Shen, also known as Ian, was then an exchange student. With him was a friend, Myles Hagar, and Hagar's two grandchildren. Silently and suddenly a cougar appeared out of nowhere. By the time they spotted the cat, it already had the head of 18-month-old Julien in its mouth.
"At first, my brain was nothing but blank," Shen recalled. "But I believed I could get the child back." He gestured as if he were ready for a fight, and tried to scare the beast off with his bag. Hearing the noise Shen made, the animal dropped the baby and Hagar rushed to grab his grandson. But the animal didn't run, instead turned toward 3-year-old Iris standing beside Shen. "Had Ian not been there, shouting at the cougar, remaining calm and standing firm, it would certainly have attacked Iris." Hagar recalled.
They chased the animal back into the woods. "We moved slowly to our vehicle as we waved our fists and bags, pretending to wrestle it," Shen said. "The vehicle wasn't far away but it felt like it took us a century to travel the short journey." As Hagar drove for help, Shen held the heavily-bleeding boy in the passenger seat and calmly kept him awake by hugging and kissing him in case he would go into a coma . The boy was flown to a hospital nearby. Doctors later said his little skull had been punctured through to his brain in two places. Luckily, Julien made a full recovery.
"Any hesitation, even a second delay, would have resulted in certain death for Julien, but Ian was there..." Hagar said. Following the incident, the story appeared on Canadian TV networks in every city, and in many small town newspapers---plus many US Internet news sites. The Royal Canadian Humane Association planned to give Shen a Canada Bravery Award, but it couldn't reach him because he had returned to China.

A coalition operation against militants in southeastern Afghanistan has left at least 50 insurgents dead as Afghan and NATO forces swept through a "known Haqqani network" area. The encampment was considered a staging ground for Haqqani and foreign fighters, NATO's International Security Assistance Force reported Friday. The Haqqani network is an insurgent group loosely affiliated with the Taliban, and is believed to be based in Pakistan's lawless frontier territories. They operate along the porous Afghan-Pakistan border regions. The group has been responsible for "several high-profile attacks against the Afghan government and its citizens," ISAF reported. The coalition operation -- which included Afghan special forces -- engaged "multiple groups of insurgents," who were armed with rocket-propelled grenade launchers and heavy machine guns. The firefight took place against multiple insurgent groups, who were holed up in areas that included caves and fortified bunker positions, ISAF reported. The operation spanned night-time hours as NATO airstrikes pummeled insurgent positions.

Read this: The single most revealing property of wood as an indicator of wood quality is specific gravity (Timell 1986), as both pulp yield and lumber strength are determined by it. Specific gravity is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the mass of an equal volume of water; density is the ratio of a mass of a quantity of a substance to the volume of that quantity and is expressed in mass per unit substance, e.g., grams per millilitre (g/cm3 or g/ml). The terms are essentially equivalent as long as the metric system is used. Upon drying, wood shrinks and its density increases. Minimum values are associated with green (water-saturated) wood and are referred to as basic specific gravity (Timell 1986).

Easter Bonnets - NYTimes.com
Sick of fluorescent tips, dips, tie-dye and highlights, we turned to Orlando Pita and the color team from Orlo, his Manhattan salon, to take the radical color trend to the next level. His mandate: soft, allover pastels that would coordinate with the palest confections from the spring collections. It had to be radical yet refined, cool but chic. “I wanted to show that unconventional colors can work if you do them really well,” Pita says. “Dyeing hair one soft, uniform color looks elegant and new.” Typically, on shoots where daring color is called for, stylists use sleights of hand like spray paint, powder, wigs and clip-in precolored extensions. But we were determined not to fake it.
Usually, the sentence “we’re doing a hair story with Orlando Pita” is enough to grab the attention of even the most jaded model agent. Following it with “and we need four girls who will let us dye their hair for real and keep it that way for three days during campaign season” is enough to lose it. Despite repeated assurances that Pita’s stylists would restore the girls’ hair to the color and condition they found it in, several agents demurred. Finally, however, we found four brave beauties willing to go the extra mile for their craft.
The process was labor-intensive and took three colorists plus Pita a whole day to get right. First, the girls’ hair had to be taken to its lightest hue, and then color (from Manic Panic) added and adjusted. Pita’s shade secret? “Manic Panic colors start out quite bright, so we tweaked them with different percentages of black and white,” he says. The girls were a bit skittish at first, but by the end they loved their new locks and were reluctant to go back to their old colors — Tine Furre kept her candy-floss pink tresses for a week, years in model time.
According to Pita, the trick to preserving the pastels is to shampoo as seldom as possible and to use only clear products. He uses Kérastase Reflection Bain Chroma Riche shampoo and Masque Chroma Riche rinse. “If you are careful, your color can look decent for six to eight weeks,” he says. Or at least until the next big trend comes along.

Article:Charlotte Hennessy, whose father died in the 1989 tragedy, has contributed to the former Bishop of Liverpool James Jones's report.
It was commissioned after the inquests and given to the government in June.
The Home Office said the report "will be published in due course".
Ms Hennessy, who was six years old when her father James Hennessy died, said time was "hugely important" for those affected.
"I do feel it should be an absolute priority. If the legacy of the the 96 is anything it should be that lessons are learned from mistakes," she added.
"I have told the Bishop's report about my experiences and given recommendations, especially because I grew up with the Hillsborough disaster.
"As a child I wasn't offered any counselling or support and this has had a long lasting effect on me as an adult. It would be awful if we don't learn from that."
Rt Rev Jones was asked to produce the report by the prime minister following the conclusions of the Hillsborough inquests in April 2016.
Solicitor Elkan Abrahamson, who represents 22 of the families, has written to Theresa May asking her to distribute the report to the families "immediately" with a view to making the report public "as a matter of urgency".
He also wrote: "We are concerned by the reaction of various authorities to Grenfell... and we believe that the Bishop's report will assist Central and Local Government and other organisations properly to perform their functions with the necessary diligence and compassion."
Ms Hennessey urged Mrs May to make sure the Grenfell families were involved in the investigation and kept regularly updated.
She added: "I wouldn't want to compare Grenfell to Hillsborough but if something happens like this you can't help but relate. It's heartbreaking.
"These families are in shock and grieving and are not being given answers.
"Time is very important. I appreciate the government has a lot to deal with but feel this report should be publicised at the earliest opportunity."
During Prime Minister's Questions on Wednesday, Alison McGovern, the Labour MP for Wirral South, asked when the report would be published.
Mrs May said she could not give a date as she had not yet seen the report but added she had commissioned it "precisely because I was concerned about the way in which the bereaved families at Hillsborough had been treated over far too many years".
A statement from the Home Office said: "With regard to your query as to when the Bishop's report into Hillsborough will be published, there is no set date and the report will be published in due course."
