By . Alex Greig . PUBLISHED: . 12:16 EST, 21 July 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 01:16 EST, 22 July 2013 . When the New York City subway was barely seven months old, the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company mounted a camera on the front of a subway car following another train, and took footage of a ride through Manhattan. The footage taken on May 21, 1905 begins at 14th St - Union Square and follows the train north to Grand Central Station, whereupon the passengers alight and men in smart suits with canes and women in long dresses and elaborate hats swarm around the station. To film the subway car in front, engineers affixed the camera to a specially constructed work car fitted with lights to illuminate the dark tunnel. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Historic times: Remarkable footage from 1905 shows what life was like when New York's subway was first installed . All aboard: People run to board the train as it pulls in to Central Station and divests itself of its passengers . Fair fare: The subway cost five cents a ride when it opened in 1904 and increased to 10 cents only in 1948 . The subway of 108 years ago doesn't look too different from today's subway. Delays, track work and the infamous G train may cause current New Yorkers to complain, but these inconveniences are trifling compared to the upheaval the construction of the original subway must have caused. When it was being constructed more than 100 years ago, the subway's creators couldn't have known that in 2013, it would carry more than five million passengers daily along 842 miles of track. The subway, which is the most . extensive public transport system in the world with 468 operational . stations, is constantly under construction and evolving along with the . city itself. Missed train: Commuters ran for the train just as today's subway customers run to catch a departing subway train .

A Michigan man will now stand trial for multiple charges, including first-degree murder, for a home invasion, shooting and robbery occurred three years ago, after police linked him to the crime using a social media post and incremental evidence. Robert Hauser, 47, a Iosco Township landscaper who was known in the area for carrying large sums of cash, was shot to death in the basement of his secluded country home on New Years Eve 2011. Investigators allege that Anthony Sean Duke, 25, of Webberville, posted on Facebook about one month after the murder saying: 'What to do?? ... 30K I have to spend.' Although there is no conclusive evidence putting Duke at the crime scene, police believe they have now collected enough through testimony to try him. Duke has been booked with first-degree murder, home invasion and related felony firearm charges. To stand trial: Anthony Sean Duke, 25, of Webberville, has been charged with a long-unsolved Michigan murder after police collected a dossier of incremental evidence - including a social media post - against him . Livingston County District Judge Carol Sue Reader said the case was built on inferences and circumstantial evidence, including the Facebook post, The Livingston Daily reported. Part of the evidence were two bullet sabots - devices used to fire bullets that are smaller than the weapon they are being shot from - that were found at Hauser's home. A ballistic expert testified they were two halves of one sabot that was 'fired from the same barrel' of a Mossberg shotgun — the same type of rifle witnesses said Duke used for hunting practice the November before the murder, The Livingston Daily reported. Detective Mark Klein of the Livingston County Sheriff's Department said they found similar sabots at Duke's home and at the home of his father, James Duke. James Duke told police his adopted son had regularly been using his 12-gauge Mossberg and was an excellent shot. Police used the sabots to allege Hauser was in the basement of his home at the time he was shot, but that Anthony Duke was outside when he pulled the trigger. Victim: Robert Hauser, 47, a tree-clipper who lived alone on a secluded Iosco Township property, was shot dead on New Years Eve 2011 . Scene: The murder occurred here at Hauser's remote Iosco Township house. Police allege Duke shot the victim from outside while he was standing in the basement . Duke allegedly lied to police about his whereabouts on the night of the murder, saying he was with his then-girlfriend, Ashley Coselman. However Coselman told detectives Duke was not with her the entire time, and that he left for the period between 9pm and 10pm. Investigators allege Hauser was killed at 9.26pm because it was the time frozen on his watch, which they believe broke as he fell down from his wounds. Coselman also testified that, after the murder, Duke asked her to purchase a 12-gauge Mossberg shotgun on his behalf in order 'to hand it over to Livingston County Sheriff's Department'. In Duke's truck, police say they found a manual on how to beat a polygraph test. They allege they found internet searches about polygraph tests on Coselman's computer as well. Coselman also said her and Duke would argue about money, but he would come up with cash when they needed it. Remote: Hauser's home was secluded on 11000 block of Roberts Road, near Farmer John's Lane . Investigators say that while Hauser's home had not been ransacked, there was an empty zip-lock baggie found on his dryer. Friends told police that Hauser would always carry the baggie, and was known to carry as much as $5,000 cash in it. The fact it was empty suggested cash had been stolen. However Duke's defense attorney, Rolland Sizemore, said police were scrambling. 'It really looks like they're stretching to make these counts stick to Mr. Duke,' the defense attorney said. Sizemore noted the lack of evidence, and said it was not possible for Duke to shoot Hauser from outside the home on the angle police have alleged. Sizemore also said the empty baggie cannot prove anything was stolen. No new court dates have been set. Summarize this article. Anthony Sean Duke, 25, of Webberville, has been charged with murder of Robert Hauser, 47 . Hauser was shot dead at his secluded Iosco Township home on New Years Eve 2011 . Police say they now have enough testimony and circumstantial evidence to try Duke . Duke allegedly bragged about having $30,000 to spend one month after the slaying . Some bullet sabots allegedly link him to the scene . Police say he lied about where he was on the night on the murder . His girlfriend at the time said Duke asked her to buy a replica of the murder weapon on his behalf that could be given to police . A book on how to pass a polygraph test was found in his truck .

Passage: A man is seated in a diner who is revealed as Harold Speck, a traveling salesman. He is joined by a gentleman who asks question which make him uncomfortable. After leaving the diner, Harold is found dead, with his eyelids cut off and clutching a symbol which appears to be a circle with a line through it, which leads to FBI Agents Thomas Mackelway (Aaron Eckhart) and Fran Kulok (Carrie-Anne Moss) being brought in on the case. There appears to be history between Mackelway and Kulok. We learn Kulok has been married but it didn't work out. Before that she was with Mackelway. Flashbacks of Mackelway's recent suspension reveal he received a six-month suspension and psychological evaluation for beating a suspected serial killer, Raymond Starkey (who was in fact a serial killer and went to prison for his crimes). Mackelway receives a series of taunting faxes from someone who may be the killer. Meanwhile, kids go missing and we catch glimpses of a big truck. As the investigation proceeds, the agents begin to become aware of the possible existence of "Suspect Zero", a "super serial killer" responsible for hundreds of deaths across all 50 states who leaves no evidence behind to link his crimes together. Another body is found in the trunk of a beaten up car, also with his eyelids cut off and cut with the crossed circle mark. The ownership of the car is traced to a halfway house where the manager admits Kulok and Mackelway to a room that was occupied by Benjamin O'Ryan for seven years. The room is filled with obsessive-compulsive sketches of the crossed circle design, a Bible which contains sketches of missing persons, and a book on ritual. Questioning the other occupants of the halfway house, Mackelway is told by one of them the design represents a Zero, not a circle. The killer sends information to Mackelway which leads him to Benjamin O'Ryan (Ben Kingsley), who believes himself to be a former member of the FBI. The agents must decide if O'Ryan is the key that will allow them to catch Suspect Zero or if he himself is Suspect Zero. A man kidnaps and begins to rape a girl he followed out of a bar. O'Ryan pulls him out the car window and kills him. When the FBI including Kulok and Mackelway arrive, they find that the body belongs to the serial killer. Starkey, who Mackelway had put away earlier, who had been released from prison. Evidence uncovered reveals that O'Ryan was part of a secret government experiment (Project Icarus) attempting to cultivate telepathic abilities in individuals (remote viewing) for military purposes. The experiments gave O'Ryan the ability to see the actions of serial killers. These disturbing visions constantly torment O'Ryan and drive him to find the killers and kill them. O'Ryan seeks out Mackelway because Mackelway shares his abilities to some degree. O'Ryan begins to see through Mackelway's eyes, too. Then Mackelway starts seeing through O'Ryan's eyes and Mackelway starts seeing through the serial killers' eyes. Mackelway's boss is not convinced by his theories that O'Ryan is chasing the killer rather than being the killer; Kulok is not sure either. The actual Suspect Zero is another man who travels around the United States with a refrigerated truck. He targets children, whom he abducts and transports to his ranch to be killed. Mackelway pieces together evidence linking these crimes by recognizing that victims had signs of freezer burns while being transported from their place of kidnap to their resting place. Mackelway chases a suspect truckdriver to a carnival only to find that the child he saw in his vision as 'captured' is free; the truckdriver appears to be his father. Suddenly O'Ryan appears and captures Mackelway. Mackelway wakes tied in front of a mirror as O'Ryan tries to scare him but Mackelway is not frightened. O'Ryan spares him and they drive together while O'Ryan divulges his history with Project Icarus. Eventually, Mackelway and O'Ryan find Suspect Zero at his ranch. There are many bodies buried in shallow mounds of earth. Chasing him, both vehicles crash off the road. Kulok manages to free the child in the truck trailer, who had been kidnapped from a swing. After a struggle outside, Suspect Zero is killed when Mackelway crushes his skull with a rock. O'Ryan then tries to convince Mackelway to end his suffering by killing him. When Mackelway refuses, O'Ryan pretends to attack him, prompting Kulok to shoot him to defend her partner. Question: What does Suspect Zero travel in? Answer: A refrigerated truck.

Passage: Major Alan "Dutch" Schaefer and his six-man team, consisting of himself, operators Mac Elliot, Billy Sole, and Blaine Cooper, demolitions and explosives expert Jorge "Poncho" RamĂ­rez, and radioman Rick Hawkins, are tasked by the CIA with spearheading the rescue of an official held hostage by insurgents in Val Verde. CIA Agent George Dillon, a former commando and an old friend of Dutch's, is assigned to accompany and supervise the team despite Dutch's reservations. The team is taken to a remote jungle and begins the mission. They soon discover the wreckage of another chopper and three skinned corpses, whom Dutch identifies as U.S. Army Special Forces he once trained. Pressing on, the team reaches the insurgent camp and kills every single guerilla, including a Soviet intelligence officer searching through top-secret CIA documents. Dillon, confronted by a suspicious Dutch, admits the mission was a setup to retrieve intelligence from captured operatives and that the dead unit disappeared weeks earlier in a failed rescue. Upon capturing a female guerilla named Anna, the group proceeds to extraction, unaware that they are being stalked by a nearly invisible creature who tracks them with thermal imaging. Hawkins chases a fleeing Anna when they are both suddenly confronted by the creature. The unarmed Anna is spared, but Hawkins is swiftly killed and dragged away. Dutch organizes a manhunt for his body, during which Blaine is killed by the creature's plasma weapon, enraging Mac. An ensuing firefight fails to draw out the creature, so the unit regroups and questions Anna, learning that their stalker is an unknown creature locals call "El diablo cazador de hombres" or "El demonio que hace trofeos de los hombres", meaning "The devil man hunter" and "The demon who makes trophies of men" respectively. The next day, an attempt to trap the creature fails, leaving Poncho badly injured. Mac and Dillon pursue the alien, but it outwits and kills them both. The survivors try to escape, but the creature catches up, killing Billy and Poncho, and wounding Dutch. Dutch sends Anna to the chopper alone and unarmed, upon realizing the creature does not target unarmed prey because there's "no sport". While being pursued by the alien, Dutch slides down a hill into a river, goes over a waterfall and ends up crawling through a patch of mud, only for the creature to catch up to him; its cloaking device malfunctions in the water, allowing Dutch to finally see his hidden enemy. The alien, though standing a few feet from Dutch, does not see him and moves on. This helps him realize that the mud he is now covered in is acting as camouflage by cooling his skin and blocking his body's heat signature from the alien's thermal sensor. Now seeking to avenge his men, Dutch uses his knowledge of jungle warfare to craft a series of traps. Covered in mud and armed with improvised weapons, he lures the creature in with a war cry. Utilizing his preparations, Dutch beats the alien at its own game, disabling its cloaking device and inflicting minor injuries. However, the creature rallies itself and finally corners him. Acknowledging Dutch as a worthy foe, the alien discards its mask and plasma weapon, and challenges him to a hand-to-hand fight, where it has a clear advantage. After being brutally beaten, Dutch narrowly defeats the creature by using a counterweight to crush it. Standing over the crippled alien, he asks, "What the hell are you?", but the creature simply repeats back "What the hell are you?" in garbled English before activating a self-destruct device on its wrist, laughing sinisterly as the count down begins. Dutch flees and takes cover just before the self-destruct device explodes in a mushroom cloud. Dutch, the last man standing, is picked up shortly afterwards by his commander, General Phillips, and finds Anna in the helicopter. Question: How does the creature finally die? Answer: He activates a self-destruct button and blows himself up.
Question: What is the best season to re-seed your lawn on north east region of USA? Answer: The best season to plant grass seeds is early fall before the soil temperature drops below zero degrees. It will take a few weeks for the new seeds to take root before winter comes. Then when spring comes, the grass will resume growth and become strong enough to sustain the high temperature in the summer. Spring time is actually not a good season to plant, because the grass will not have enough time to grow before harsh summer comes along.

Question: Ludwig works 7 days a week and he usually works half of the day during Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. If his daily salary is $10, how much does he earn every week? Answer: Ludwig earns a total of $10 x 4 = $<<10*4=40>>40 from Monday to Thursday. He earns $10/2= $<<10/2=5>>5 per day on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So, his total salary for Friday, Saturday, Sunday is $5 x 3 = $<<5*3=15>>15. Therefore, his total weekly salary is $40 + $15 = $<<40+15=55>>55. The answer is 55.
Q: In Harry Potter And The Order of The Phoenix, Voldemort attempts to kill Harry in the Ministry after Sirius's death. Dumbledore arrives just in time to save Harry, shielding him with the wizard's statue. Why did he defend Harry there? He knew of him being a Horcrux after the attack on Arthur Weasley (on examining one of his instruments), and presumably knew he had to die at Riddle's hands. Why did he postpone the inevitable? A: It's hard to give a definitive reason for a fictional character's motivations when they aren't explicitly described anywhere, but there are any number of reasons events may have unfolded as they did. 1. Dumbledore wasn't Voldemort-- he wasn't cool with murdering innocent people or allowing innocent people to die through inaction (certainly not in this phase of his life). He also showed a strong commitment to his students' safety and wellbeing, even in the case of a student that he knew for a fact was actively trying to murder him. Killing someone because it would be convenient or helpful is not a Professor Dumbledore move. 2. It's not clear how much information Dumbledore had on the Horcruxes at that point. It's easy for a reader to look back at the novels and determine that Harry was 100% fated to die at some point in the struggle against Voldemort, but that's not a great guide an in-universe character's knowledge and motivations. 3. Dumbledore was actively resisting Voldemort in every way he could manage at the time, and in particular wanted Voldemort's return to become public knowledge. It's not impossible that he viewed Voldemort's attack as an opportunity to injure, weaken, or otherwise frustrate Voldemort's efforts. At a minimum his approach was enough to force Ministry officials to accept that Voldemort was back, but it's also reasonable to think that if Voldemort clearly wanted something to happen, Dumbledore didn't want it to happen. 4. Voldemort was clever and dangerous, and one of the few things Dumbledore could be pretty sure he would do was hunt Harry. With Harry dead, Voldemort would become less predictable but no less dangerous. 5. Destroying all of the Horcruxes was important to defeating Voldemort but destroying any one was not-- that was the very reason Voldemort created so many of them. His being one seventh less immortal isn't an obviously huge setback for him, and indeed he did not seem to even notice that some of the Horcruxes were destroyed. 6. The difficulty around the Horcruxes was mostly in finding and gaining possession of them, because Voldemort had hidden them away and protected them. Harry himself, on the other hand, was generally pretty easy to find over the course of the novels. Even if Dumbledore felt that Harry would need to die, there wasn't any reason that this particular opportunity for him to do so was unique or rare. Q: I think there is one additional point: 7. Harry's willing sacrifice was an important part of his surviving the horcrux extraction. If he had died in book five (especially right after Siruis died) he would have almost certainly have stayed dead. A: The sacrifice probaly doesn't work for himself. It enabled him to protect everyone else he cared about from Voldemort but it doesnt protect themselves otherwise why did Lily die? If he had died at the Ministry he most likely could have chosen to come back as he did in the forest but becuase he didnt sacrifice himself willingly there no one else would have protection from Voldemort. The thing that protected himself from Voldemorts spells at the end was the fact he was the owner of the Elder Wand. Q: Is it mentioned somewhere that it was Elder Wand that saved him? I'd expect that Voldermort could cast Killing Curse wandless and asleep. How would weaker wand prevent him from successfully casting it? Could wand itself alter the curse (not weaken, alter specifically to target the horcrux)? A: This comes straight from the book: > Harry saw Voldemort's green jet meet his own spell, saw the **Elder Wand** fly high, dark against the sunrise, spinning across the enchanted ceiling like the head of Nagini, spinning through the air toward the **master it would not kill**, who had come to take full possession of it at last.

Mary Kidson, who was cleared by a court but is still separated from her daughter . When British mother Mary Kidson took her seriously ill daughter to a world-renowned doctor in Belgium in the hope of finding a cure, she could never have imagined the extraordinary events that were to follow. When she returned to the UK, Ms Kidson, an expert in the field of special educational needs, was astounded to find herself imprisoned and prosecuted – accused of trying to poison her daughter. Then, to her horror, the child was taken from her and was subsequently placed in psychiatric care. Now Ms Kidson is free again, following the collapse of the case against her at Worcester Crown Court last week, and is relieved to have her name cleared. But, speaking for the first time about her ordeal, the 55-year-old says she is furious that charges were brought in the first place, and devastated she has yet to be reunited with her 16-year-old daughter. In particular she blames the NHS for operating rigid rules about treatment that allowed the prosecution to take place – but also her former husband, Michael Guilding, who she believes needlessly reported her to the police. ‘It’s unbelievable what I’ve been through,’ she says of a case that has echoes of Ashya King, whose parents fled abroad to seek proton treatment for his cancer and ended up in prison in Spain. ‘I am very angry and fed up as I was completely misrepresented prior to my acquittal. ‘I am just so relieved. This case came about because I am a caring mother and was only acting in my daughter’s interest. I’m now looking forward to being reunited with her. ‘All of the allegations against me were wrong. I know my ex-husband was behind it all. I’m in no doubt. He was very upset about our divorce, which he didn’t want, and unhappy that the children went with me. The prosecuting team were very careful to keep him out of it during the court hearing. ‘I have been through a huge ordeal. As things become clear I will make decisions about whether I am going to sue anyone. ‘I tried to make the best of it in prison, and I was treated well, but my life will never be the same again. ‘I hope I will become a stronger person as a result of what I’ve been put through. ‘When I was told I was free this week, well, it’s indescribable what I felt. I was elated, relieved, and very, very thankful that justice has at last been done.’ The Brussels hospital where Dr Hertoghe diagnosed the girl with hormone deficiency, and prescribed medication . Ms Kidson’s barrister, Ken Hind, says that her complaints against her husband were part of her evidence, but were never heard in court as the case against her collapsed. During the court case Ms Kidson, from Ledbury in Herefordshire, was accused of dosing her daughter with unnecessary medicines and of ‘doctor shopping’. This, it was alleged, involved touring hospitals and clinics in Britain and then abroad, until she received a diagnosis for her daughter – hormone deficiency – that she found acceptable, but which the NHS did not recognise. In 2012, desperate for help, she travelled with her daughter, who cannot be named for legal reasons, to the Brussels clinic of Dr Thierry Hertoghe, a Belgian physician and expert in hormone therapy. She believes that, as a result of the deficiency, the girl was suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome that had left her virtually bed-ridden. The prosecution claimed that once under Dr Hertoghe’s supervision, Ms Kidson administered toxic levels of three hormones in a five-month period. Belgian doctor Thierry Hertoghe, left, who says that the NHS system needs to reform. The prosecution claimed the girl was given 'toxic' levels of medicines including hydrocortisone, right . But according to the Belgian doctor, the girl’s ailments improved. Taking up the story, Ms Kidson’s sister, Ruth Stobbs, says: ‘Mary thought that Dr Hertoghe was absolutely fantastic. ‘He measured my niece’s thyroid, oestrogen, growth hormone and cortisol and found her to be deficient in all of these, so he prescribed medication to correct the deficiencies.’ But, it seems, when Ms Kidson’s ex-husband found out about the treatment, he contacted police, two months later. In March 2013, police arrived at Ms Kidson’s home with social services and arrested her. Ms Stobbs continues: ‘I took a phone call at work from Mary who said simply, “I’ve been arrested.” ‘At first I thought it was some sort of joke. There was silence down the line. “Seriously. I’ve been arrested. For child cruelty”, Mary said.’ After 24 hours in custody, Ms Kidson was released on bail. The prosecution claimed that once under Dr Hertoghe’s supervision, Ms Kidson administered toxic levels of three hormones in a five-month period . Ms Stobbs adds: ‘The judge also ordered that my niece go back to school. She had been home-educated from age ten. Suddenly facing a return to school, without her mother around to support her, was too much for her. She hated it.’ The judge also ordered her to live with her father, and she ran away twice. One afternoon early this year, she locked herself in her father’s bathroom and in a highly emotional state she sent a text to her mother. Mary, who was worried her daughter was going to harm herself, texted back, which breached her bail. Michael phoned the police and Mary was arrested again and taken into custody, and then to Eastwood Park prison near Bristol. ‘Her ex-husband told police and social services that Mary would try to take their daughter out of the country, and we think this is why they have acted as they have,’ says Ms Stobbs. ‘Mary is a responsible person and she would never, ever have done that.’ Ms Kidson has been apart from her daughter since March 2013. In January this year she was charged under the 1861 Offences Against The Person Act with poisoning her daughter with thyroid extract, oestrogen and hydrocortisone. She was then allowed only two hours supervised contact each fortnight. Her daughter became so distressed that she suffered a breakdown after the pair were separated, and was detained in hospital under the Mental Health Act. ‘My daughter is on other medicine now but she does appear to be fit and well, which is great,’ Ms Kidson says. ‘She is on the verge of discharge but I still don’t know when I can see her. ‘I’m very angry with the way the Crown Prosecution Service, social services and the police all dealt with this. They formed an opinion of me without even meeting me. ‘The whole case raises the question of a parent’s right to find treatment outside the NHS for their child. Adults have total freedom to go wherever we want in the world for our health care but if you’re a child it seems only the NHS can treat you.’ Supporting Ms Kidson, Dr Hertoghe says that her trial ‘should never have taken place’ and called for widespread NHS reform to allow parents greater choice over their child’s care. ‘Two lives have been broken,’ he says. ‘The whole system needs reform. We have to give people the right to choose their doctor without fear of prosecution.’ Summarize this article. Mary Kidson took seriously ill daughter to a world-renowned Belgian doctor . When she returned to the UK, she found herself imprisoned and prosecuted . Last week the case against her at Worcester Crown Court collapsed . For the first time she has now spoke of her fury that charges were brought against her .

Passage: Desperate to discover a cure for the cyclical 48-year-fever, known as Trailmen’s fever, Dr. Randall Forth persuades a colleague, Dr. Jay Allison, to undergo hypnosis. He calls forth a secondary personality, Jason Allison, who is gregarious and an experienced mountain climber, while Dr. Jay Allison is a cold, clinical man with no outdoor skills. Jason is asked to lead an expedition into the Hellers to collect medical volunteers from among the Trailmen. Accompanying him are Rafe Scott, Regis Hastur, Kyla Raineach, a Renunciate guide, and several others. During the trip, Jay/Jason yo-yos between his two personalities – one warm and charming, the other distant and clinical. Jason, the warm personality, falls in love with Kyla. They are attacked on the trail by a party of hostile Trailwomen. As a result of the attack, the Jay personality reappears, and is considerably more formal than the Jason personality. When they reach the Trailmen nest where Jay/Jason lived as a child, he is recognized. The party is invited into the Trailmen’s tree habitat. The Old Ones of the Sky People (Trailmen) inquire why Jay/Jason has brought an armed party of humans to their nest. Jay/Jason explains his mission, to find a remedy for 48-year-fever. He introduces Regis Hastur to the Old Ones, and Regis also pleads for the Sky People’s assistance. One hundred Trailmen volunteer. The party, with volunteers, returns to the Terran Trade City. Some months later, a serum is developed for the treatment of 48-year-fever. Regis Hastur arrives to congratulate Jay/Jason Allison. The exposure to Regis reminds Jay/Jason of the expedition, and causes Jay/Jason to merge into a third, more stable personality. Question: What city does the expedition party return to with the volunteers? Answer: Terran Trade City

Question: Marnie opens a bag of chips and eats 5 of them to see if she likes them. She does, so she eats 5 more. The bag has 100 chips in it and starting on the second day she has them, Marnie eats 10 each day. How many days does it take for Marnie to eat the whole bag of chips? Answer: Marnie has already eaten 5 of the chips + 5 more = <<5+5=10>>10 chips Marnie ate. The bag has 100 chips in it and Marnie has only eaten 10, 100 - 10 = <<100-10=90>>90 chips left. If Marnie eats 10 chips a day starting from the second day she has them, it will take her 90 chips in the bag / 10 chips Marine eats a day = <<90/10=9>>9 days to eat the whole bag. However, Marnie also ate chips on the first day she bought them, so 9 + 1 = <<9+1=10>>10 days to eat the whole bag. The answer is 10.
By . Daily Mail Reporter . PUBLISHED: . 14:08 EST, 27 August 2013 . | . UPDATED: . 14:10 EST, 27 August 2013 . A mother-of-four is serving a lengthy prison sentence after tricking her family and friends into believing she was pregnant with twins - before falsely claiming they had died in childbirth. Leslie Wilfred, 37, also convinced doctors and friends in Thomasville, Georgia that her four other young children suffered from serious illnesses, leading one to undergo invasive surgeries. She was eventually diagnosed with Munchausen syndrome and Munchausen-by-proxy, in which sufferers make up illnesses for themselves and their children and often induce the symptoms. Two years after she was sentenced to eight years in prison, the lead investigator in the case has spoken to FoxNews.com about her string of lies and how they were discovered. Plot: Mother-of-four Leslie Wilfred, pictured with her husband Chris, pretended her children were ill and that she had given birth to stillborn babies - when she had never even been pregnant . 'I've been in law enforcement for 30 . years and have been an investigator for 25 of those years. I've . investigated everything from homicides to armed thefts,' Officer Bob . Brettel said. 'I had never encountered anything like this before.' He revealed how police learned of the scheme when Child Protective Services were interviewing her about her unruly stepson, and noticed she was talking about his attitude harming the unborn babies. After claiming the babies had indeed died, CPS decided to investigate further and discovered the litany of lies, extending to all of her children. Wilfred had four children when she married Chris - who also had a son of his own from a previous relationship - on June 23, 2007. Wilfred claimed her then 13-year-old son had needed his gallbladder removed as a child after she took him to the doctor with frequent vomiting. She also claimed he needed a liver transplant. She also had a daughter, 9, who suffered from leukemia, she said. The girl supposedly underwent chemotherapy and collection pots were placed around . town to raise money for her medical bills. Guilty: Leslie Wilfred, left, was convicted of several counts of cruelty to children after pretending her kids were ill when they were not. Her husband, right, was convicted on one count for locking up his son . Doctors found that Leslie Wilfred had Munchausen and Munchausen by proxy. In both conditions, the person . purposefully fabricates medical conditions so that they can get attention or sympathy. Munchausen syndrome patients . tell falsehoods about themselves, while in Munchausen by . proxy, an adult will invent medical conditions for his or her child. A dangerous facet of this is how they will often induce symptoms in the child to better illustrate the lie. Munchausen by proxy is . typically considered a severe form of child abuse. They belong to a group of conditions called factitious disorders, which are either made up or self-inflicted. If it is not discovered, it can lead to death from self-inflicting the harm or because of harming the child. Dr. Marc Feldman, an international expert in the disorder, told Fox: 'It . is a diagnosis of people who evolve lifestyles in which they travel . from hospital to hospital, getting themselves admitted and subjecting . themselves to surgery they don't need. 'What they have . in common is this quest for sympathy – a desperate search and yearning . for some kind of identity as a patient or the vicarious identity of a . patient.' Due to the dishonest nature of the condition, it is hard to say how many people in the U.S. suffer from Munchausen syndrome, but it is considered to be rare. It generally more typically occurs in men than in woman and most often affects young adults. Wilfred claimed that her other children also suffered from medical conditions and that one child, who was then 11, was the result of her being raped by her co-worker. This was never reported to police. Around this time, Wilfred also claimed she had fallen pregnant with the couple's twins. She took pictures of her rounded belly - but did not reveal to friends or family that she had actually had her tubes tied ahead of the marriage, making a pregnancy impossible. In 2008, the couple called the police about Chris' son, claiming he had threatened the family with a knife. They complained he was unruly and neighbors rarely saw him leave the home. After the knife incident, Child Protective Services launched an investigation and Wilfred regularly met with a caseworker - who noticed some bizarre behavior. 'During this whole period of time when . the mother would be talking to his attorney, she made several references . about his behavior being responsible for the safety and wellbeing of . her unborn twins,' Brettel told Fox. It was almost as if she was predicting the future. On November 10, 2008, Wilfred called her husband and family from hospital to say the twins, who she had been carrying for five months, were stillborn and had been cremated. Three days later, the family gathered to mourn the babies at the family's local church, where their ashes were placed in teddy-bear shaped urns and ultrasounds were put on display. Little did the family know that the urns had been ordered five days ahead of the 'birth' and that the ultrasounds belonged to a stranger - and had been downloaded from the internet. When CPS learned about the . stillbirths, they contacted Brettel, who in turn contacted the hospital - . and found they did not have records of her check ups or birth. As . the investigation continued, officers learned that the eldest son did . not need a liver transplant and they questioned whether his gallbladder . had been removed unnecessarily. Mistreatment: She claimed one of her daughters, pictured, had leukemia and one of her sons needed a liver transplant. Investigators said they are glad they learned of the case before they were seriously hurt . They also learned that the daughter had not suffered from leukemia and Wilfred had instead lied about going for chemotherapy treatments. In yet another startling twist, officers then searched the couple's home and found that Chris' son had been tied in a small wooden box inside a linen closet every night as the family slept. The couple said that the boy was violent and needed to be constrained - but analysis of him showed he only suffered from PTSD as a result of being locked in the box. Wilfred herself underwent evaluations and found that she had Munchausen syndrome - but no other major mental health issues. 'She is not psychiatrically ill in the . sense of a major diagnosis like schizophrenia,' Dr Marc Feldman said. 'There are no psychiatric excuses for what she did. She has a . personality disorder which means she has long-term, self-defeating ways . to deal with stress.' Cruelty: After authorities learned of her lies, they searched the home and found Wilfred's stepson was locked in a box in the closet each night in their home, pictured. The couple claimed the boy was unruly . Feldman, an expert in Munchausen, added that people with the condition often have passive partners; Chris claimed he had no idea that his wife had been lying. Wilfred eventually pleaded guilty to several counts of . cruelty to children and theft by deception for the donation buckets, and she is currently serving an . eight-year sentence. Chris was convicted of one count of cruelty to children, and both . parents have been ordered not to contact their children without permission from the court. The children have not suffered any permanent physical damage and are living in foster care. But Brettel said he believes the children could have suffered much worse harm - or death - if the case had not been discovered. 'She was pretty much in denial about . doing anything significantly wrong,' Brettel said of Wilfred. 'She didn't think . she had done anything to harm her children.' Summarize this article. Leslie Wilfred, 37, pretended she had given birth to the twins at five months and a memorial service was held for their 'ashes' She also falsely claimed her daughter, 9, had leukemia and needed chemo . And she claimed her son, 13, needed a liver transplant - and he had already had his gallbladder removed . Lies were discovered when CPS interviewed her about her unruly stepson and found inconsistencies in her stories .

Passage: The first two lines are a complete story by themselves: " The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door..." The Zan have killed off all life on Earth other than pairs of specimens for their zoo of exotic Earth fauna. Walter Phelan is the last man on Earth, but Grace Evans, the last woman, is not overly impressed with him and maintains her distance. The Zan, who are ageless, become disturbed when, one by one, the other animals begin to die. They turn to Walter for advice. He tells them that the creatures have perished from lack of affection, suggesting that they pet the survivors regularly to keep them alive. He demonstrates with one of them. When the Zan begin to die, they depart the planet in fear. It is then revealed that the creature Walter advised them to pet was a poisonous snake. Then Walter discusses the future of the human race with Grace. She is shocked by his proposal and leaves as he intended to use the Zan technology left behind to create "the master race". The narrative then ends as it began: "The last man on Earth sat alone in a room. There was a knock on the door..." Question: What does Walter plan to do with the Zan technology that was left behind? Answer: Create a "master race".

Q: I'm no expert in darkroom photography, but it seems a little odd that there is a type of light that doesn't affect film or developing paper etc. So why is a dark-room safelight safe? A: Photo films and papers are made from salts of silver that naturally only darken when exposed to violet or blue light. In the early days of photography, this was all that was available. Therefore these films and papers are able to be handled under any light source that does not radiate blue light. By the way, the violet and blue frequencies of light are the shortest, and are the most energetic when it comes to inducing a chemical change. These early films and papers could all be be handled safely under red light as well as yellow light. These lamps do not emit violet or blue. These blue-sensitive-only films did an OK job, with some exceptions. Women’s faces with cosmetics, like lipstick and rouge on the cheeks, came out weird. Warm tones reproduced super dark, and most times lips and cheeks turned black, void of detail on the finished picture. The bottom line is, many colors in nature reproduced incorrectly with this early blue-sensitive-only film. The cure was accidental. Professor Hermann Vogel at Berlin Technical was trying to solve the problem of halation. This results when taking a picture of bright objects, like light sources or gemstones and the like. These objects play on the film with lots of light energy. This energy often goes completely through the film and hits something behind the film. The light is then reflected back into the film. The result is a halo around bright objects. The professor had one of his students dye the silver salts yellow, thinking the yellow dye would filter out the annoying reflected blue from the rear. He tried this dyed film and it did the trick, plus the film gained sensitivity to green light. He named this blue/green sensitive film orthochromatic (Latin for correct color). The year was 1857, and the quality of film reproducing the colors of nature moved forward by a big leap. A few years later, one of his graduate students, experimenting with different dyes, discovered how to make films sensitive to blue, green and red light. This film was called panchromatic (the pan prefix in Greek means "all"). Thus panchromatic film reproduces all colors found in nature with high accuracy. The bad news was, the darkroom folks were forced to give up the red and yellow safelight. A super dim green safelight could be used for a short period of time during developing. Photo papers remained insensitive to red for the most part - no need, as they work OK with just blue and green sensitivity. Modern variable contrast photo papers have two sensitive coats, one for blue light and one for green light. We can use a safelight on these papers; it is amber with reduced brilliance. Films and papers that make color pictures are panchromatic, and most safelights are not safe. We can use infrared lamps with a specialized night vision infrared scope to view and handle most panchromatic films and papers, because these materials have low sensitivity to infrared.
After drinking for many hours, a very drunk man encountered another man in a convenience store and asked him for five dollars. The customer refused, and the drunk man knocked him down and began beating his head against the floor. The drunk man woke up hours later in jail, with no memory of the events. The police charged him with aggravated assault, which required proof of specific intent. At trial, the drunk man asked for an additional jury charge of simple assault, which did not require specific intent. The trial court refused, and the drunk man was convicted of aggravated assault. On appeal, will the appeals court likely reverse for a new trial, ordering that a charge on simple assault be added? A. Yes, because the lesser included crime must always be a part of the jury charge in order to allow the jury to pick and choose whichever crime it feels applies. B. Yes, because the evidence of voluntary intoxication could rule out a finding of specific intent, and therefore the jury should have the choice of each crime before it. C. No, because voluntary intoxication is no defense to crime. D. No, because the violent force of beating his head on the ground would preclude a simple assault charge as a matter of law. Answer: B. Yes, because the evidence of voluntary intoxication could rule out a finding of specific intent, and therefore the jury should have the choice of each crime before it.

Q: If we fold a paper and then apply pressure on the newly formed crease, it seems that the paper's surface gets a permanent deformation but what exactly has happened to the paper at a molecular scale? A: Basically, a fold or crease in paper will remain because the structure of the fibers in the paper have become irreversibly damaged. This happens because the paper is bent/compressed beyond its elastic limit. Chemically, paper is mainly composed of cellulose from plant fibers. Cellulose is an organic polymer, which has D-glucose units connected through hydrogen bonds. These bonds form between the oxygen atom of the one-hydroxyl group belonging to the glucose and the hydrogen atom of the next glucose unit. These are microscopic properties of paper, but to understand what happens when we fold paper or do Origami, it is sufficient to learn what is happening macroscopically. All materials have what is called an elastic limit and a plastic region. The elastic limit is the point at which a material will bend but still return to its original position without any permanent change or damage to its structure. Further deforming the material beyond this limit takes it to its plastic region. At this point any structural or physical changes become permanent and the paper will not return to its original form. Every material has a different elastic limit or yield, and plastic region. Imagine holding a piece of paper slightly bent but not folding or creasing it. The plant fibers that make up the paper will not have exceeded their elastic limit. So as soon as you let go of the paper sheet it will quickly return to its noncreased original flat state. However, if you were to roll that piece of paper into a cylinder and hold it for a few minutes, some of these fibers will be pushed beyond the elastic limit which is evident since it will not lie flat anymore since slight deformations have occurred in this sheet. Now, when you properly fold a piece of paper as you would during Origami, the plant fibers along the crease are pushed into the plastic region of the paper, causing a fracture point at the actual line of the fold. A practical example of this is if you were to fold a piece of paper, you will note that if you stretch the paper evenly on both sides of the fold, the paper will tear right on the fold (a quick way to &quot;cut&quot; paper if you have no scissors). The fold then becomes an irreversible structural failure and the fibers in the paper will never regain their original state. Because of this damage to its structure, the paper will from then on have this fold. And no matter how hard you try to flatten out the fold it will never return to its original state. This is why Origami models continually retain their shape.

Q: Reasons for being vegetarian or vegan other than ethical reasons? A: There are multiple reasons why people are/become Vegetarian/Vegan apart from ethics, including but not limited to * Religion/Culture - most of the worlds Vegetarians reside in India, mainly due to culture/personal beliefs but often interlinked with some of their major religions (Hinduism/Sikhism/Jainism etc) which promote the diet. Some strains of Buddhism also look positively at not eating meat, as does the Seventh-day Adventist Church. * Environment - reducing land degradation, climate change, reducing harm to bio-diversity etc. Animal agriculture causes a huge amount of problems to our planet and environment. * Health - another major point. Being Vegetarian or Vegan won't automatically improve your health of course (it's easy to live off junk food, believe me), but there are lots of scientifically proven benefits to eat a plant based diet over a standard Western diet including a lower risk of heart disease, lower BMI, lower cholesterol etc. * Political - a slightly less common reason but still; some people go Vegetarian or Vegan based on their political beliefs once they realise how much the two share intersectional values (e.g. from Anarchism to Veganarchism)

The YubiKey is an easy to use extra layer of security for your online accounts. A single YubiKey has multiple functions for securing your login to email, online services, apps, computers, and even physical spaces. These are some basic steps that will protect your digital identity. Finally ALWAYS use a Lockscreen for your desktop computer, laptop, etc. All your devices should always auto lock after 3-5 minutes of inactivity. These basic steps provide a solid foundation so you will never be hacked.

It is a view of the Diamond Jubilee concert that you couldn’t see on television. Photos and comments posted on Twitter by those involved in the celebrations give a unique insight into how the events unfolded behind the scenes. Posting a picture of herself standing next to the Queen, pop singer Cheryl Cole wrote: ‘This image will live with me Forever.. I could never have dreamed of this moment.’ Scroll down for video .

His image of the beautifully illuminated palace, posted with the caption ‘BP looking good’, seemed innocent enough. But his England Rugby teammates were . less reserved, with one, Andy Goode, writing: ‘Which one is yours and . z’s bedroom window tonight big lad??!!’ Another friend, seeing that Tindall . was seated just in front of David Cameron, replied: ‘U be careful with . that PM guy behind u, reading all ur tweets & texts and being all . judgemental!!’ Winger Mark Cueto added: ‘Your pearly whites looking good . on my tele kid?

Question: I want to develop OKRs for my team at work. What process should I use? Answer: Developing OKRs for your team is a useful way to identify what goals your team will focus on and provide specific, time-bound metrics you can use to measure your success. First, identify the most important objectives for your organization - usually no more than five. Next, identify your Key Results. These Key Results should follow the SMART principles. They should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound. Once you have identified both your objectives and key results, share them with your team for their input. Once you have collected that input, finalize your OKRs and roll them out to the team through the appropriate communications channel.
Q: How to cut carbon arrows? A: Carbon arrows are a lightweight alternative to aluminum, but they may not always come in the correct length you need. While you can always take the arrows into a hunting store to have them cut by a professional, you can also cut arrows at home with a rotary cutter or an arrow saw. Before you cut the arrows, be sure to measure your draw length to know how long the shafts need to be. When you’re finished, your arrows will be the perfect size! ## Find the proper arrow length 1. Hold a tape measure out to your side with your non-dominant hand. Grip the tape measure in your nondominant hand so the tape points toward your wrist. Fully extend your nondominant arm out to your side so it’s parallel to the ground to simulate holding a bow. Make sure you can easily grab and pull the tape toward you, and reposition the tape measure in your hand if you can’t. Avoid using a fabric tape measure since it may give you an inaccurate measurement. 2. Pull the tape to the corner of your mouth with your dominant hand. Grab the end of the tape with your dominant hand and slowly pull it out. Keep pulling the tape until the end touches the corner of your mouth on the dominant side of your body. For example, pull it to the right corner of your mouth if you’re right-handed. Once the tape measure is fully extended, look at the measurement. Pulling the tape measure to the corner of your mouth simulates drawing a bowstring so you can get an accurate measurement for your draw length.Tip: Put your nondominant thumb on the tape measure before checking the measurement so it doesn’t retract. Otherwise, you’ll have to measure again. 3. Add 2 in (5.1 cm) to your measurement to find the arrow length. If your arrow is too short, it could jam your bow or cause the arrow to shoot improperly. Take the draw length measurement you just found and include an extra 2 inches (5.1 cm) to ensure that the arrows are long enough for your bow. For example, if your draw length measurement was 29 inches (74 cm), then the length of your arrow should be 31 inches (79 cm). 4. Transfer your measurement onto the arrow shaft. Start your measuring tape at the back of the arrow shaft and extend the tape toward the front. When you reach the measurement you found, use a marker to draw a line or dot on the arrow shaft so you know where to cut. Rotate the arrow 180 degrees and make another mark in the same place to use as reference. Don’t include the arrow’s nock in the measurement since nock sizes vary between arrows. Start at the base of the arrow shaft instead. ## Use a rotary cutter 1. Clamp a rotary cutter horizontally over the edge of the table. A rotary cutter is a handheld multitool that spins quickly to cut through materials. Use a rotary cutter with a circular carbide blade so it can easily cut through the carbon arrows without deforming them. Lay the rotary cutter horizontally so the blade is vertical and hangs over the edge of your work surface. Use a C-clamp to secure the tool to your work surface so it doesn’t shift around while you’re using it. You can buy a rotary cutter from your local hardware store.Tip: Make sure you can easily access the power switch on the tool so you can turn it on and off when you need it. 2. Position the hose of a shop vacuum behind the rotary blade. Cutting carbon arrows creates dust that can cause irritation if you breathe it in, so it’s easiest to vacuum it immediately to prevent it from spreading. Set the end of the hose on your work surface so it’s directly behind the rotary cutter’s blade. Connect the other end of the hose to the intake port on your vacuum. You can also use your regular vacuum if you don’t have a shop vacuum available. 3. Put on safety glasses and a face mask before turning the machines on. Carbon dust can cause irritation if it gets in your eyes or lungs, so it’s important to stay protected while you work. Put on safety glasses that cover your eyes completely, and a face mask that guards your nose and mouth. Once you put on your safety equipment, you can start the rotary tool and the vacuum. Even though you have a vacuum capturing most of the dust, there still may be particles floating around. 4. Cut the arrow along the mark you made. Once your rotary tool is spinning at full speed, carefully guide the arrow so the blade lines up with the marks you made earlier. Push the shaft gently against the blade so it cuts into the carbon. Continue pushing the arrow into the blade until it cuts completely through the other side. If the blade has difficulty cutting the arrow straight through, try rotating the arrow while you hold it against the blade to make it easier. ## Cut shaft with an arrow saw 1. Attach a shop vacuum hose to the port on the back of an arrow saw. Many arrow saws have a port on the back where you can attach a vacuum hose to collect dust. Push the end of a shop vacuum hose into the dust collection port on the arrow saw until it’s secured in place. Attach the other end of the hose to the intake port on your vacuum. You can buy arrow saws from hunting supply stores or you can order them online. Arrow saws usually cost around $130 USD. You can use your regular vacuum if you don’t have access to a shop vacuum.Tip: If your arrow saw doesn’t have a port for a vacuum hose, then set the hose as close to the blade as you can. 2. Wear safety glasses and a face mask while you’re cutting arrows. Carbon arrows create carbon fiber dust when you cut them, which can be irritating if you inhale it or if it gets in your eyes. Wear safety glasses that cover your eyes completely and put on a face mask to protect your mouth and nose. Once you have the face mask and safety glasses on, you can turn on your machines. 3. Position the arrow on the saw so the back sits inside of the notch on the support. Your arrow saw will have a support with a notch on it so your arrow doesn’t roll around while you’re cutting it. Set the back of the arrow in the notch and line up the front of the arrow so the mark you made on the shaft lines up with the saw blade. Your arrow saw may have multiple supports on it. If so, make sure the arrow sits in all of the notches to ensure you make a straight cut. 4. Rotate the arrow while it’s against the saw blade to cut completely through it. Once your arrow saw is running at full speed, slowly push the arrow shaft into the blade. Once it starts cutting into the arrow, spin the arrow so the blade cuts around the circumference of the shaft. As soon as you around the circumference of the arrow, the end will fall off and you can turn off your saw. Your arrow saw may be powerful enough to cut through the shaft without rotating it.
Q: My mom has a green card that expires 2028 but has been out of the US in the UK for over a year due to COVID travel restrictions. Can she enter now? A: Assuming she doesn't have a valid Re-entry Permit, she technically doesn't have one of the accepted documents for entry of a returning immigrant, as listed in 8 CFR 211.1(a). A green card is not one of the accepted documents after an absence of more than 1 year, and she doesn't have any of the other documents, like a Re-entry Permit or an immigrant visa. However, under 8 CFR 211.1(b)(3) and 8 CFR 211.4, the immigration officers at the port of entry have the authority to waive her failure to meet the documentary requirements, if they determine that she has not abandoned residence. They often will grant the waiver if it's the first time, the absence is not too much over a year, and/or there is a good reason for not returning earlier (e.g. COVID-19). So if she manages to make it to a US port of entry, there is a good chance they will just let her in, perhaps with a warning. The officer could deny her entry, and pressure her to voluntarily sign I-407 to relinquish her permanent residency. This is voluntary, and she can refuse. If she refuses, they will give her a Notice to Appear for removal proceedings in immigration court at a later date. There, she will be able to present her case to the immigration judge, and if the immigration judge determines that she has not abandoned residence, the immigration judge can grant the waiver for her failure to meet the documentary requirements (think of it as a second opinion on the immigration officer's decision). The other option to all this is that she can apply for an SB1 returning resident visa at a US consulate (which will meet the documentary requirements since it is an immigrant visa). However, this requires showing that she could not return any earlier due to circumstances beyond her control (which may be harder to prove than showing that she did not abandon residence). Also, there is no appeal for visa denials.

Passage: sanas originated in India. In his Yoga Sutras, Patanjali (c. 2nd to 4th century CE) describes asana practice as the third of the eight limbs (Sanskrit: अष्टाङ्ग, aṣṭāṅga, from अष्ट् aṣṭ, eight, and अङ्ग aṅga, limb) of classical, or raja yoga. What is the third limb of yoga? \Answer: The third limb of yoga is know as Asana. This refers to the physical practice of yoga, or the yoga postures. By putting the body into difficult positions you achieve several key benefits. The first is you are helping your body heal pain. If you want to meditate and work on healing your mind, you need to first heal your body. Otherwise your easily distracted mind will focus on pain in your body versus the pain in your mind. Secondly, commitment to the Asana will teach you the discipline your mind needs to heal. When going into uncomfortable situations, bad patterns in the mind often arise. Stepping into discomfort actually becomes an opportunity to study the mind and change patterns of response.

Passage: Clarence and Emmeline Mumford are a middle-class couple, living in suburban Sutton on the outskirts of London with their two-year-old son. Reading the newspaper, they become aware of a young woman seeking a place as a "paying guest", or lodger. To supplement their income they respond to the advertisement and meet the prospective tenant, named Louise Derrick, who is in need of a place to live due to disagreements with her immediate family.

Paul Ramsay, 78, was the founder and chairman of Ramsay Health Care, a private hospital operator. Ramsay Healthcare, which Mr Ramsay founded in 1964, now has more than 150 hospitals in Australia, the UK, Indonesia, Malaysia and France. Hey was valued at $3.7 billion by Forbes in March. In 1983, Mr Ramsay bought a stake in Prime Media, the rural arm of Channel Seven. He was an ardent support of the Liberal Party and of former prime minster John Howard. Mr Ramsay was the party's most significant donor in 2011-2012, giving $605,000 one year. It was announced on April 24 that he was admitted to hospital in a serious condition, it was believed that he suffered a heart attack in Spain while sailing. Mr Ramsay was flown back to Australia and died in Bowral on the evening of May 1. He was single and had no children, and is survived by his brother Peter Oscar, twin sister Anne and brother-in-law Brian, as well as nieces and nephews. The company announced Mr Ramsay's stake in Ramsay health, worth $3.3 billion, will be left to his charitable foundation. Erica flew home from LA to Sydney on Thursday morning so she could attend the funeral of the billionaire with her youngest child Emmanuelle, 20 months. According to The Daily Telegraph, Mr Ramsay remained a firm supporter of Erica - who is also known by her maiden name Baxter - following her split from Packer in September. Ahead of the funeral, the former Mrs Packer decided to take the opportunity to visit some friends yesterday - most notably the wife of David Gyngell, Leila McKinnon. The pair met on Thursday afternoon, just days after the brawl between Mr Packer, 46, and Mr Gyngell, 47, which occurred outside Mr Packer's Bondi mansion. At the funeral, Mr Packer's left eye was still visibly puffy and bruised from the fight. Police have announced that they will be unlikely to investigate the incident any further. Neither Mr Packer nor Mr Gyngell have lodged an official complaint over the incident, yet Mr Gyngell took responsibility for the fight in a statement. '[Mr Gyngell] fully accepts that he was the instigator of the incident. He respects the job police do and will co-operate fully with their investigation,' it said. The incident stemmed from an angry text message exchange between the two men, after Mr Packer thought a camera crew from the network was trying to film him with rumoured flame Miranda Kerr. Ms Kerr was at Sydney airport this morning at the same time as Ms Packer - while the casino boss's ex arrived, his speculated new love interest was said to be flying to Shanghai. The scuffle does not seem to have affected the relationship between Erica and Mr Gyngell's wife, Leila Mckinnon, whom the model visited on Thursday afternoon.

Rome, Italy (CNN) -- A jailed Italian mobster claims he can prove American student Amanda Knox, her former boyfriend and a drifter are innocent of murdering Knox's British roommate because he knows who the real killer is -- his brother. Luciano Aviello, 41, made the statement during a videotaped interview with Knox's lawyers. He said he had tried to write the Italian court several times to say that Knox and the others were innocent, but no one ever contacted him, defense and prosecution officials said. A source close to the case tells CNN that Aviello, who has been in and out of prison since age 17, was out of prison, living down the street from Knox and Meredith Kercher and under a "protection program" at the time of the murder. Aviello is serving 17 years in an Italian prison because of his association with the Camorra crime family. According to Italian media reports and Britain's Daily Mail, he has testified against the mob at several trials, always from behind a screen to shield his identity. Kercher, 21, was found semi-naked with her throat slashed in the house she shared with Knox in November 2007. Knox and her former Italian boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, 25, were found guilty in December 2009 of Kercher's murder and are serving sentences of 26 and 25 years, respectively. A third person, Rudy Guede, a drifter originally from the Ivory Coast, plead guilty to the murder and is serving a 16-year prison sentence. In March, Aviello contacted Knox's attorneys, who visited him in prison to learn more about his story. Aviello told Knox's lawyers during the videotaped interviews that his brother, who was staying with him at the time of Kercher's murder, came home one night and said he had killed a girl during a botched robbery. British and Italian media have reported the brother's whereabouts are unknown and neither the lawyers for Knox nor the prosecution would comment further. "When he came to my house he had a bloodstained jacket on and was carrying a flick knife. He said he had broken into a house and killed a girl and then he had run away," Aviello said in his statement. Originally from Naples, Aviello says he was living in Perugia at the time of the attack. "I know [he was involved] because my brother confessed to me that he had killed Meredith and he asked me to hide a blood-stained knife and set of keys," he said, according to an attachment to Knox's appeal documents. Aviello told the lawyers that his brother said he and an Albanian man broke into the house and found "the poor English girl," Kercher, "who started screaming like mad" The brother "stabbed her in the throat then he tried to stifle her screams," Aviello said. "Meredith defended herself like mad, scratching and hitting out at him." Aviello said he can prove Knox's innocence and his brother's involvement because of evidence he buried at his home. "I had everything under a little wall behind my house," he said. "I am happy to stand up in court and confirm all this and wrote to the court several times to tell them but was never questioned." Italian prosecutor Giuliano Mignini, who led the case against Knox and Sollecito, told British and Italian media that Aviello's claims were irrelevant since the court already deemed him not credible and didn't interview him. See the evidence presented in the Knox case . Mignini told CNN on Thursday he couldn't comment much on Aviello's assertions because "we need to verify his claims, in general, all of what he is saying." Mignini said he has not yet interviewed Aviello, but will begin looking into his background as part of an investigation. That investigation will include checking out the burial of the key. Knox's lawyer, Carlo Dalla Vedova, said he hopes a judge will allow Aviello to testify at Knox's appeal hearing, which is likely to take place in the fall. "The court should have vetted the reliability of the person and the worthiness of his claims," Dalla Vedova said. "We have posed again the same request to the appeals court. In filing an appeal, Dalla Vedova pointed to Aviello's letters to the courts, saying they show Knox was not able to present all the witnesses, and that may have influenced the verdict. Mignini disputed the claim. We "can't simply investigate in the course of a trial every claim that comes up," Mignini told CNN. David Marriott, a lawyer for the Knox family, said that while they don't yet know whether Aviello's claim is valid, he feels it is only right that Knox get to air all the evidence in court. Even if the story isn't true, Knox and her lawyers should at least get the chance to investigate it and have his claims heard, Marriott said. "The fact that the court didn't even decide to question him or at least look further into the claims is a part of what Amanda's appeal is all about," he said. "We don't know the truth, but the court has the responsibility to check it out." Marriott also said he thinks it's possible Aviello's statements weren't checked out because Italian police and prosecutors believed they already solved the case. "There's no motivation I would guess for the police to actually pursue it," he said, when asked if the keys, clothing or knife Aviello claims were buried were ever dug up. "In their minds not only is it over, but why would they investigate something that might show their initial investigation was faulty." Summarize this article.

Sommeliers are able to identify hundreds of flavours in wine, from woody notes to citrus bursts and chocolate undertones. But now a nanosensor could be threatening their livelihood. Dubbed 'mini-mouth', the sensor mimics the reaction that wine creates on a person's tongue to determine how the alcohol tastes and, in particular, how astringent it is. The nanosensor, dubbed 'mini-mouth' (pictured) uses salivary proteins to mimic the reaction wine creates on a human tongue. It does this by measuring the molecules and chemical compounds. From this, it determines the astringency - and overall flavour - of wine . The technology was created by PhD student Joana Guerreiro from Aarhus University in Denmark. Vineyard owners turn grapes into wine using a series of highly-controlled processes, designed to bring out the desired flavour in the product that ends up on the shelves. An important part of the taste is known in wine terminology as astringency, and it is characterised by the dry sensation drinkers get in their mouth when they drink red wine, in particular. The tannins in the wine bring out this sensation, which is often likened to biting into an unripe banana. The sensor is a small plate coated with nanoscale gold particles. On this plate, the researchers simulate what happens in a person’s mouth by first adding some of the proteins contained in saliva. After this they add the wine. The gold particles on the plate act as nano-optics and make it possible to focus a beam of light below the diffraction limit, making it possible to precisely measure something that is very small - down to 20 nanometres. This makes it possible to study and follow the proteins, and to see what effect the wine has, and ultimately see the extent to which the small molecules have to bind together for the clumping effect on the protein to be set off. These are mixed with lots of tastes in the wine and feel both soft and dry. Ms Guerreiro and her fellow researchers at the Interdisciplinary Nanoscience Centre (iNANO), Aarhus University, have now developed a nanosensor capable of measuring the effect of astringency in a mouth when people drink wine. The sensor uses salivary proteins to measure the sensation that would be felt on a human mouth. The researchers study how the proteins change in the interaction with the wine, and they can use this to describe the effect of the wine. ‘There is great potential in this,’ said the university. ‘Both for the wine producers and for research into the medicine of the future. ‘Indeed, it is the first time a sensor has been produced that not only measures the amount of proteins and molecules in your mouth when you drink wine, but also measures the effect of wine – or other substances – entering your mouth.’ The sensor additionally makes it possible for wine producers to control the development of astringency during wine production because they can measure the level of astringency in the wine at the start of the process. These tests can only currently be achieved when the wine is ready, and only by using a professional tasting panel. This also comes with a level of human inaccuracy. Until now, the focus has been on the clumping together that takes place fairly late in the process of wine-making, but with the sensor, researchers have developed a method that mimics the binding and change in the structure of the proteins, which typically happens during the early part of the process (stock image) ‘We don’t want to replace the wine taster. We just want a tool that is useful in wine production,’ said Ms Guerreiro. ‘When you produce wine, you know that the finished product should have a distinct taste with a certain level of astringency. If it doesn’t work, people won’t drink the wine.’ ‘The sensor expands our understanding of the concept of astringency. ‘The sensation arises because of the interaction between small organic molecules in the wine and proteins in your mouth. This interaction gets the proteins to change their structure and clump together.’ She said that, until now, the focus has been on the clumping together that takes place fairly late in the process, but with the sensor, her team has developed a method that mimics the binding and change in the structure of the proteins, which typically happens during the early part of the process. Summarize this article. The nanosensor was created by researchers at Aarhus University . It mimics the reaction wine creates on a human tongue . Called iNano, it uses salivary proteins to measure molecules . From this, it determines the astringency - and overall flavour - of wine . This can only currently be tested once the drink is produced .

Washington (CNN) -- Makers of silicone breast implants have not followed up on thousands of women who received them as required by the Food and Drug Administration as a condition of approval, agency advisers said Wednesday. Mentor Worldwide and Allergan Incorporated received FDA approval for their silicone gel-filled breast implants in 2006 after agreeing to do large, 10-year post-market studies. But in a two-day meeting to update two FDA panels on the status of those trials, the companies admitted they had lost track of large numbers of women after implantation. Mentor's study enrolled more than 40,000 patients but after three years had a follow-up rate of only 21%. Allergan enrolled more than 39,300 women with a follow-up rate of 60% after two years. Christopher Allman, a spokesperson for Mentor, said since launching the post-approval studies, the company has stressed the importance of follow-up to both the women participating and their doctors. He says it remains a challenge. "At Mentor's request, letters from FDA were sent to physicians and patients to encourage follow-up and state the importance of follow-up; unfortunately, there was minimal impact with respect to the follow-up rate," Allman said. "We continue to encourage women to participate in these studies. "Typically, it is not standard of care for breast implant patients to visit their plastic surgeon annually. Patients most likely to follow up with their physician are those who experience complications." During an open public comment session, some patients and patient advocates told of the horrors they've encountered with silicone implants, in some cases imploring the manufacturers to make sure future studies are well-designed and protect women. Susan Dorsey from Mount Juliet, Tennessee, replaced her saline implants with silicone six years ago and enrolled in Allergan's study. She said her symptoms began within months. "I had difficulty raising my arms over my head, I had flu-like symptoms, neck and shoulder pain that resulted in physical therapy three times a week," Dorsey said. "Blurry vision, tingling, loss of appetite, insomnia, joint pain, anxiety, dizziness. Every day seemed to bring new symptoms." Carolyn Wolfe of Virginia had her implants for 28 years and says she had multiple symptoms. Three years ago she was found to have connective tissue disease, chronic fatigue, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma and irritable bowel syndrome. An MRI revealed 20 lesions on her brain and two collapsed implants with very little silicone left inside. She had them removed. "Is the FDA willing to publicly state that silicone and platinum leaking into women's bodies year after year is safe?" she asked panelists. In contrast, Nicole Noel told the panel she would again get silicone implants after the birth of her second child. "After having two children I had lost all volume. I had no breast tissue. I have more self-confidence and am more proportional." Dr. Susan Wood, with George Washington University's School of Public Health and Health Services, is a longtime champion of women's health. The former director of policy and program development at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services' Office on Women's Affairs said that unfortunately, time and time again, safety data have come up short. "For more than 20 years, FDA has been asking manufacturers to conduct and report rigorous studies on the safety and effectiveness of breast implants. This committee is now very aware of the limitations of the current post-approval studies. This leaves us in much the same place as in 2007, or indeed as in 1992," Wood said. "FDA approved these products by two companies contingent on adequate post-approval studies. These studies do not seem to reach the bar." Wood says real enforcement procedures need to be in place, including consideration of withdrawal of approval, requirements for sponsor-funded but independent research conducted for these studies, significant financial penalties, and major labeling or patient information changes. But Jeffrey Kenkel, professor and vice chairman of the Department of Plastic Surgery at the University of Texas, Southwestern Medical School at Dallas and president of the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, says the implants are still safe and effective. He says there are a number of well-designed studies that document that claim. "I think both ASAPS as well as the FDA are confident that breast implants are safe and effective. We're fortunate that we have a very high patient satisfaction rate -- above 90%. Ninety percent of breast implant patients are happy with their outcome and report an improved quality of life and body image." Kenkel said the measures established five years ago by the FDA were very difficult because a study with 40,000 participants is very hard to track. "Multi-investigators have a difficult time getting patients who are feeling well and back to their normal routine after surgery to come back in for their follow-up." But Dorsey said she had a very different experience. "I was forced out of the study when I decided to remove the silicone implants to save my life," she told the panel. "All of my records were deleted -- as if I never existed." Dr. Edward Melmed, a plastic surgeon from Dallas, told the panel the implants were an "industrial toxin." "The symptoms, they are real," he said. "I answer five to seven e-mails a night from women all over the world asking. 'What do I do about these symptoms?' " Melmed said that by 10 years after patients get them, 50% of silicone implants rupture; 72% by 15 years; and 94% rupture by 20 years. "Why is the FDA continuing to allow a device to be placed in young women that is guaranteed to fail 80% in 10 years? Would they allow that in hip replacements? Would they allow it in men?" According to ASAPS, more then 318,000 breast augmentations were done in 2010 -- more than any other surgical procedure. Sixty-two percent of those were silicone implants. Both Mentor and Allergan's implants come with a warranty that offers free replacement in case of rupture or deflation. It offers surgical cost assistance for replacement surgery. Another hotly debated topic was MRI screening. Product labeling calls for patients to get an MRI three years after implantation and then every two years after. MRI picks up about 90% of ruptures, but the procedure is costly and some experts expressed concern over false positive readings. But the FDA says the MRI is the gold standard for detecting silent rupture. The agency says it will continue to look into its clinical value. Looking to the future, the agency said it will see the current studies completed, make sure follow-up rates improve and will look into the creation of a breast implant registry -- possibly on an international scale. Mentor recommended a number of ways to get robust data on long-term safety, including enhanced post-market surveillance, and reviewing published literature and existing external databases like TOPS -- a physician website managed by the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. "We believe these sources may provide the data FDA requires on potential medical conditions in women with breast implants and would most likely capture any early 'safety signals,' " Allman said. "This therefore reduces the need for another large epidemiological study. If any new safety signals are identified, we would work with the FDA to define a targeted study design." FDA spokeswoman Erica Jefferson said the agency has a lot to consider. "The past two days have provided some very compelling information for the FDA. We took away several meaningful recommendations during the meeting." Jefferson said the FDA's next step will be to review the recommendations and outline the suggestions they think should be implemented. They plan to engage stakeholders including sponsors, professional groups, patients, consumer groups and academia before making any decisions. Summarize this article.

(CNN) -- David Haye says he would relish a fight against reigning World Boxing Council (WBC) champion Vitali Klitschko after beating fellow Briton Dereck Chisora at Upton Park football stadium in London on Saturday. "I held a version of the world heavyweight championship and I would like to regain a version of the world heavyweight championship ... I would love to challenge him for his title," Haye said at a news conference. "After a performance like that and him getting on, if you were one of his advisers you wouldn't tell Vitali to fight me," the 31-year-old added. Haye retired after losing to Vitali's brother, Vladimir on points in July 2011, but came out of retirement to fight Chisora after the British pair brawled at a press conference which followed Chisora's loss on points to Vitali in Munich last February. "I've proved my punching power against someone who pushed Vitali to the wire. It was a measuring stick to show how I performed against his last opponent. I would be very confident of beating Vitali," Haye said. But the 40-year-old's future in the sport is uncertain. His next fight against Germany's Manuel Charr is scheduled to take place in Moscow on September 8, but it could be his last as the Ukrainian looks to concentrate on a political career. Former world heavyweight champion, Haye impressed on his return to the ring stopping Chisora in the 5th round of the much-hyped grudge match. The fight was a predictably lively affair, with Haye and Zimbabwe-born Chisora finally exchanging blows after trading a string of insults in the weeks leading up to the fight. Haye vs. Chisora? That's just handbags - watch the women at the Olympics . But it was Haye's power allied to some trademark nimble glove work which finally prevailed as the 10-round fight sanctioned by the Luxembourg Boxing Federation neared the halfway stage. Towards the end of the fifth round, the 31-year old unleashed a devastating left-hook before a follow-up right hand floored Chisora. The Zimbabwe-born fighter made referee Luis Pabon's count comfortably but crashed to the canvas again seconds later following a barrage of punches from Haye. He staggered to his feet a second time but Pabon stopped the fight leaving Haye to milk the cheers from a boisterous 30,000-strong crowd. Sworn enemies before Saturday's fight, Haye and Chisora finished the night exchanging pats, smiles and handshakes in front of photographers, before both publicly declaring a truce to their bitter war of words. "Whatever beef I had with Dereck before the fight is over now from my side and I hope it's vice versa," Haye told Sky Sports. "After sharing a ring with Dereck I have a new found respect for the man. I had respect for his boxing ability but I never believed he could be as good as he was tonight. He raised his game," Haye added. Chisora agreed. The two men had made up and could now "eat in the same restaurants and go to the same clubs," the 28-year-old said. "It was a great fight and everything is done." Khan stunned in Las Vegas . It was a less happy night for Briton's Amir Khan, who suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Danny Garcia in their light-welterweight world title clash in Las Vegas. The referee stepped in to stop the fight in the fourth round after WBC champion Garcia launched a series of blistering attacks on Khan which saw the Briton felled three times. "I always knew I had it in me. I feel like the great fighters bring the best out of me and Khan is a great fighter," Garcia said after the fight. Khan, who has now lost three times in 26 professional bouts, posted an message on his official Facebook page saying: "Can I apologize to my family friends and everyone. I got caught with a shot and I know millions of u are upset but that's boxing for u." The 25-year-old lost his World Boxing Association (WBA) and International Boxing Federation (IBF) belts to Lamont Peterson in December 2011, but was reinstated as the WBA champion earlier this month after the American failed a drugs test prior to their scheduled rematch in May. The IBF are still to decide on what course of action they will take regarding the original fight. Summarize this article.
