Customers who have reached the end of their mobile phone contract should have their phones unlocked from the network for free, says consumer group Which?
Article: | It believes that keeping phones locked prevents customer finding a better deal by switching providers.
Pay-as-you-go mobiles should not be locked at all, it said.
One mobile operator said its phones were locked to prevent fraudulent activity.
When a mobile phone is purchased from an operator it is locked to that particular network until the contract expires or until the customer requests it is unlocked. This means the phone will not work if the Sim card from another network is used in the device.
Which? said that companies should also be forced to tell customers which is the best deal for them once their current contract has expired.
"Mobile phones are an essential part of daily life for many people and consumers shouldn't be locked into contracts that do not suit their usage," said Which? executive director Richard Lloyd.
'We want to send a message to mobile phone companies that they should help customers get a better deal by alerting people that their contracts are about to end and by unlocking handsets for free."
Some 70% of the 2,100 people surveyed told Which? that if companies did unlock phones at the end of contracts it would encourage them to find a deal that was better value for money.
Currently mobile phone operators charge to have phones unlocked and generally will do so only if a customer requests it.
O2 does not charge customers who are on a contract but levy a £15 fee for pay-as-you-go users.
"Pay and Go handsets may be subsidised at point of sale and can be exploited for fraudulent purposes through box breaking. Our charge to unlock the phone covers the handset subsidy, the administrative costs of unlocking, but also acts as a deterrent for fraud activity," an O2 spokesperson told the BBC.
Box breaking is the name given to the purchase of locked handsets that are then unlocked and sold at a profit to dealers overseas where there are little or no subsidies on phones.
EE charges both contract and pay-as-you-go customers £20.42 to unlock a handset and will only unlock a phone after six months.
Vodafone charges its customers £19.99 to unlock their devices.
Three said that since January all its devices were now sold unlocked and anyone who purchased a handset before this time could get it unlocked free of charge.
Advice on the personal finance website Moneysavingexpert.com says that even with an upfront charge for unlocking a mobile, the savings should quickly outweigh the outlay. It could also give you better access to promotional deals and potentially make it cheaper to use a phone overseas as foreign Sim cards could be used in the device. | 8 | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |

Just some of the "entertainment" that can be seen at circuses, zoos and safari parks in China, according to a report by Animals Asia into animals cruelty. The Hong Kong-based animal rights campaign group visited 13 safari parks and zoos in China and according to David Neale, Animals Asia's Animal Welfare Director, found that the animal shows "portray the animal to the public in a humiliating way" and have no educational value. "There is a misunderstanding really within China at the moment about what these animals are experiencing," Neale told CNN.

Article: Stretching your legs and feet will reduce the muscles stress and tightness that overpronation causes. Incorporate stretches into your daily routine, trying exercises like: Rolling a golf ball on the underside of your foot. Stand with one foot on the ball at a time and move your foot over it, pulling your toes towards your shins. Do this for 30 seconds-1 minute to massage the tissue in your foot. Placing your foot in as neutral a position as you can, then pushing your big toe down without collapsing at the foot or ankle. This will help to strengthen your toe and the muscles under your foot. A standing calf stretch. Place one foot behind you and push the heel towards the ground, then try to pull your foot and toes towards your shin. Hold the stretch for 30 seconds on each leg. Stand with your legs together. Turn your feet so that your toes point outward, keeping your heels touching. Slowly lower yourself down, bending at your knees. Keep your heels pressed against the floor as you lower yourself and return to your original position. Perform the stretch 10 times a day, using slow movements. Don’t push yourself to go too far down. Stop when you start to feel discomfort. Stand with your feet hip-width apart, using a wall or chair for support. Slowly roll your weight out to the edge of your feet, then roll your weight back to the center of your foot. Keep your movements slow to avoid rolling your ankle. Repeat the stretch 10 times each day. You can also strengthen your foot muscles through toe curls and heel raises, which improve your foot support, stability, and shock absorption. Sit in a chair with your legs extended out in front of you. Flex your feet, then bend forward at your waist, reaching toward your toes. Hold the stretch for 1-2 seconds, then release. Do 10 repetitions of the stretch daily. Calf stretches can help relieve the flattening of your foot because they help loosen your achilles tendon. A tight achilles tendon can worsen flat feet.

Curly Howard was born Jerome Lester Horwitz in the Bensonhurst section of the Brooklyn borough of New York City, on October 22, 1903. Of Lithuanian Jewish ancestry, he was the youngest of the five sons of Jennie (Gorovitz) and Solomon Horwitz. Because he was the youngest, his brothers called him "Babe" to tease him. The name "Babe" stuck with him all his life, although when his elder brother Shemp Howard married Gertrude Frank, who was also nicknamed "Babe", the brothers called him "Curly" to avoid confusion.
By 1944, Howard's energy began to wane. Films like Idle Roomers (1944) and Booby Dupes (1945) present a Curly whose voice was deeper and his actions slower. It is believed that he suffered the first of many strokes between the filming of Idiots Deluxe (October 1944) and If a Body Meets a Body (March 1945). After the filming of the feature length Rockin' in the Rockies (December 1944), he finally checked himself (at Moe Howard's insistence) into Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, California, on January 23, 1945, and was diagnosed with extreme hypertension, a retinal hemorrhage, and obesity. His ill health forced him to rest, leading to only five shorts being released in 1945 (the normal output was six to eight per year). The Three Stooges: An Illustrated History, From Amalgamated Morons to American Icons by Michael Fleming, states that Moe Howard pleaded with Harry Cohn to allow his younger brother some time off upon discharge to regain his strength, but Cohn would not halt the production of his profitable Stooge shorts and flatly refused his request. Other sources state the Stooges had five months off between August 1945 and January 1946. They used that time to book themselves a feature film at Monogram, and then leave on a 2-month live performance commitment in New York City working shows 7 days per week. During that NYC appearance, Howard met and married his 3rd wife Marion Buxbaum, a bad relationship that further deteriorated his health and morale. Returning to L.A. in late November 1945, Howard was a shell of his former self. With two months rest, the team's 1946 schedule at Columbia commenced in late January, but involved only 24 days work during February - early May. In spite of 8 weeks' time off in that same period, Howard's condition continued to deteriorate. By early 1946, Howard's voice had become even more coarse than before, and it was increasingly difficult for him to remember even the simplest dialogue. He had lost a considerable amount of weight, and lines had creased his face. Answer this question using a quote from the following article:

Mark Anthony Taylor, AO (born 27 October 1964 in Leeton, New South Wales; nicknamed "Tubby" or "Tubs" is a former Australian cricket player; currently a Cricket Australia director and Nine Network commentator. He was Test opening batsman from 1988 to 1999, as well as captain from 1994 to 1999, succeeding Allan Border. His predominant fielding position was first slip. He was widely regarded as an instrumental component in Australia's rise to Test cricket dominance, and his captaincy was regarded as adventurous and highly effective.
The second of three children born to bank manager Tony Taylor, and his wife Judy, Mark Taylor's early years were spent at Wagga Wagga, where his family relocated when he was eight. His father had a sporting background, playing first grade rugby in Newcastle. The young Taylor preferred Australian rules football and cricket. He learned to bat in the family garage, with his father throwing cork balls to him. Taylor idolised Arthur Morris, the left-handed opening batsmen from New South Wales who led the aggregates on the 1948 "Invincibles" tour of England. Taylor played for his primary school as an opening batsman, and made his first century at the age of thirteen for the Lake Albert club at Bolton Park in Wagga. His family then moved to the north shore of Sydney, where he joined Northern District in Sydney Grade Cricket. Completing his secondary education at Chatswood High School, he later obtained a degree in surveying at the University of New South Wales. Along with the Waugh twins, Steve and Mark, Taylor played in under-19 youth internationals for Australia against Sri Lanka in 1982-83. Taylor made his Sheffield Shield debut in 1985-86 when NSW was depleted by the defection of regular openers Steve Smith and John Dyson to a rebel tour of South Africa. Opening with fellow debutant Mark Waugh, he scored 12 and 56 not out against Tasmania. His first season was highlighted by home and away centuries against South Australia in a total of 937 runs at 49.31 average. He had a lean season in 1987-88, after which he spent the English summer with Greenmount, helping them to win their first Bolton League title by scoring more than 1,300 runs at an average of 70. He originally trained as a surveyor, and received a degree in surveying from the University of New South Wales in 1987.

Interior Department officials announced an extensive restructuring of the agencies that oversee offshore oil drilling Wednesday, pledging "fundamental change" for a system widely criticized after the worst oil spill in U.S. history. The expected moves split the since-renamed Minerals Management Service into separate agencies, with one responsible for approving offshore leases and another to enforce safety and environmental laws. Michael Bromwich, the head of the current Bureau of Ocean Energy Management, Regulation, and Enforcement, told reporters the reorganization is aimed at beefing up safety after "decades of neglect" and conflicts of interest among regulators. "This reorganization is much more than just moving boxes around," Bromwich said. "It is about a comprehensive review and a fundamental change in the way that these agencies operate." The Interior Department said it plans to have its newly created Bureau of Ocean Energy Management and Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement up and running by October 1. A separate agency to collect revenues from leases was spun off from MMS in 2010. The announcement came eight days after the presidential commission that investigated last April's sinking of the drill rig Deepwater Horizon sharply criticized regulators for their passivity, finding they were outmatched, underfunded and had conflicting responsibilities that prevented them from effective oversight of the offshore oil industry. The sinking killed 11 workers and uncapped an undersea gusher that spewed more than 200 million gallons of crude into the Gulf of Mexico before it was contained in June. Efforts to reshape the MMS began shortly after the explosion. Before the disaster, internal watchdog reports criticized MMS inspectors for accepting meals and tickets to sporting events from oil companies they monitored in the Gulf and found regulators in the agency's Colorado office received improper gifts, engaged in illegal drug use and had inappropriate sexual relationships with energy industry representatives. The Interior Department is also setting up a committee of top scientists and engineers to recommend improvements in offshore safety and well containment procedures. Tom Hunter, the former head of Sandia National Laboratories, will lead that committee, the department announced. "I think what has become abundantly clear through the various investigations, including the report of the Deepwater Horizon Commission, is that industry moved deeper and deeper into our nation's waters," Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said. "And while the technology for oil and gas drilling in those waters developed very quickly, other technologies that should have come along hand-in-hand simply did not."

The agency was widely criticized before the Deepwater Horizon disaster. A separate safety committee will review drilling and spill response plans. | 4 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

Summarize the following:
This is a great first step to take so you don't forget someone important. If you will be talking to a large audience, feel free to be vague about who you are addressing. For example, say "I want to thank all my teachers" rather than listing their names, and say “I want to thank my friends” rather than naming everyone. This is quicker and less likely to make some feel left out. If you are talking to close friends or family, address the people you are thanking by name. Write down every person or group of people that comes to mind. You can edit this later on. Unless you have a very short amount of time to speak, you should expand your speech to include why you are thankful towards these individuals. Write down words or phrases about why you are thankful towards these friends, family members, coaches, professors, and so on. Be honest about why you are thanking someone. The reasoning here can be very simple. For example, “My history teacher always made me laugh,” or “My mom woke me up every morning” are good reasons to thank someone. The more heartfelt the gratitude, the better. Take time to reflect on your feelings. Freewrite about the topic of graduation and being thankful. Jot down any thought that relates to being thankful and graduating from your school or program. You may find some interesting ideas or things you want to say that didn’t come up before. Remember, there is no wrong way to brainstorm. Just keep writing. Continue to freewrite until you cannot think of anything else to say, and for at least 30 minutes. Now, you’ve brainstormed about your speech, so it is time to write it.

The Bills' WR Lee Evans and QB J. P. Losman were unstoppable in the first quarter, connecting for 205 yards and two 83-yard touchdowns. Evans' first-quarter performance was a Buffalo record for a period and just shy of the NFL record for yards receiving in a quarter of 210 by Baltimore's Qadry Ismail in 1999. The first touchdown came after Nate Clements' interception on the third play of the game. Both were after Evans got in front of Texans cornerback Demarcus Faggins for the easy score. The 83-yard TDs were career highs for both Losman and Evans and marked the first time in franchise history the Bills have had two 80-yard passes in a single game. David Carr opened 1 for 3 with an interception on his first pass before completing his next 22 throws. Carr finished 25 of 30 for 223 yards and no touchdowns. Carr tied the record held by Mark Brunell, who had 22 consecutive completions in Washington's 31-15 win over the Texans at Reliant Stadium on September 24. He tied Brunell's record on a short pass to Wali Lundy for no gain with 6:19 left. The streak was broken when his pass to Andre Johnson with 5:44 remaining fell short. Lundy cut the lead to 14-7 with a 17-yard run in the first quarter. That score was set up by a 17-yard reception by Eric Moulds on third-and-8. Samkon Gado made it 17-14 on a 1-yard run in the second quarter. Moulds also had a key third-down reception on that drive. Dunta Robinson gave the Texans the lead on a 9-yard interception return midway through the third quarter. Losman was throwing out of the end zone when Robinson intercepted the pass intended for Evans to score his first career touchdown and the Texans' first defensive touchdown since 2004. But after the offense failed to put the game away in the fourth quarter the Texans gave the Bills just enough time to beat them. Losman hit a diving Peerless Price in the back of the end zone for the 15-yard touchdown with 13 seconds left, giving Buffalo the 24-21 win.

Once the clay begins to glide smoothly over the section and you do not hear or feel a roughness in the finish, move onto the next section.

Use gentle pressure when applying the wax to get a smooth, even coat. Make sure to apply thin layers of wax as opposed to thick layers. As a rule of thumb, it is better to apply multiple thin layers than to apply one thick layer. Move the towel in a straight up and down motion as opposed to a circular motion.

Write an article that answers the following question: How many points did the Eagles win by? | The Philadelphia Eagles opened up the season by traveling to Cleveland to square off against the Browns. A 43-yard field goal by veteran Browns kicker Phil Dawson gave Cleveland a 3-0 lead some six minutes into the first quarter. The Eagles would respond with a field goal of their own, though, as Alex Henery sent the ball through the uprights from 42-yards out just seconds into the second period. With the score tied at 3-3 and just seventeen seconds before the half, an 18-yard pass from Eagles' quarterback Michael Vick to wideout Jeremy Maclin extended the Eagles lead by seven. At the half, the score was 10-3, the Eagles leading the Browns by a seven-point margin. Browns kicker Phil Dawson successfully converted another field goal from 42-yards away with just under five minutes left in the third quarter, trimming the score to 10-6. Shortly afterwards, Dawson made the score 10-9 with a 22-yard field goal, his third of the day, and narrowing the Eagles' lead to one point with about fourteen minutes left in the game. The underdog Browns continued the scoring streak, taking the lead on an errant Michael Vick throw and 27-yard interception return touchdown by D'Qwell Jackson approximately thirty seconds later. With the score at 16-10 and an upset in the works, Michael Vick calmly drove the Eagles down the field and threw a strike to Clay Harbor from 4-yards out to return the lead to Philadelphia, 17-16. The Browns were unable to reciprocate and the Philadelphia Eagles narrowly claimed the week one victory. With the nail-biting win, the Eagles began their season 1-0. | 7 | Flan2021 | drop:2.0.0 | zs_opt |

Washington (CNN)Mike Huckabee is releasing a new book as the former Arkansas governor prepares for a potential 2016 presidential run, and it covers everything — from reality television to government surveillance (in a curiously-named chapter "Bend over and take it like a prisoner!"). We read "God, Guns, Grits and Gravy" and rounded up all the info you might not know about the former Arkansas governor:. 1. He's got a surprisingly thorough familiarity with pop culture — and very little patience for it. Huckabee thinks Miley Cyrus is a bad dancer but Beyonce is a good one. He describes Cyrus' 2013 MTV Video Music Awards performance as one in which she "contorted her barely-clad, barely legal-age body in a disgustingly pornographic performance that showed just about everything she had — except talent — and focused national attention on a new term, 'twerking,' which describes a vulgar movement better saved for a stripper pole than prime-time television." Beyonce, however, is "incredibly talented ... has an exceptional set of pipes" and "is a terrific dancer — without the explicit moves best left for the privacy of her bedroom." But he didn't like her dance with husband Jay Z during the 2014 Grammy Awards to their song "Drunk in Love." "Jay-Z is a very shrewd businessman, but I wonder: Does it occur to him that he is arguably crossing the line from husband to pimp by exploiting his wife as a sex object?" Huckabee wrote of the performance. WATCH: Grammys 2014: Performances. He's also not a big fan of Rihanna's style. "I've seen dusty pickup truck windshields that were less see-through than the mesh 'dress' Rihanna recently 'wore' on the red carpet at a fashion show," he noted. (The Council of Fashion Designers of America, which awarded her its 2014 Fashion Icon Award — an event that prompted the dress — would probably disagree.) And don't even get him started on reality television, which takes up an entire chapter of his book. Huckabee appears to be familiar with The Real World, Survivor and the Bachelorette — and has problems with all of them. Later in the book, Huckabee compares a government without checks and balances to "Ferris Bueller's Day Off on steroids (and boozed up)." "[The Founding Fathers] knew that the sheer power of [the government] is an intoxicant and that most of the people who enter government will be like sixteen-year-old boys with keys to the liquor cabinet whose parents are gone for the weekend," he writes. Huckabee also name-drops Lady Gaga twice. 2. His views on gay marriage are more nuanced than you'd think. Huckabee recounts in the book that he got his introduction to the idea of homosexuality from a Boy Scout troop leader who was molesting members of his troop. "To be clear, I am not equating all gay men with pedophiles; I'm just relating how this particular person was my introduction to the then-unfathomable concept of same-sex attraction," he notes. Describing his outlook as "God-centered and not man-centered," Huckabee offers up some questions on homosexuality:. "Are such variations normal? Which ones? Are there any limits on what is an acceptable attraction? If so, what is the objective basis for those limits, and who gets to draw that line?" He later adds: "Is Lady Gaga correct when she sings about being 'Born this Way'?" And yet, he declares: "The claim that same-sex marriage is destroying society is actually greatly overstated." "Christians who themselves abandoned the primacy of lifelong marriage to follow the divorce and remarriage customs of a secular society have as much to answer for as do those who militantly push to redefine marriage," he adds. 3. He has a soft side. "I think of myself as a pretty sensitive guy. I'm not callous or cold. I've been known to cry at movies, particularly when a dog dies or a kid gets hurt. That's why I couldn't even see Marley & Me and had to sit in the theater until everyone left before I exited after sitting through My Dog Skip." 4. He's not particularly pleased with conservative outside groups. Huckabee faced opposition from the Club for Growth during his 2008 run for president, and apparently still holds a grudge. He writes that "groups like Club for Growth are basically 'pay for play,'" and says big donors can write checks to the Club and "it will do the dirty work for you." "It's a coward's way to fight," Huckabee writes. Huckabee goes on to compare the battle for conservative purity forged by some of those outside groups to, well, mass-shooters and suicide bombers. "I really don't think [Fort Hood shooter] Nidal Hasan is the role model the GOP wants to emulate. We should leave the kind of Sunni/Shiite fights for the real jihadists. The goal of conservatives should be to build up America -- not blow up the Republican Party." 5. He's got a lotta love for some of his potential 2016 opponents — but disdain for others. Huckabee praises and defends a handful of potential 2016 opponents. He gushes over Mitt Romney, calling him "a good man with impeccable integrity in his personal and business life," praises Rick Perry for recruiting businesses to come to Texas during his time as governor, and defends his work with former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush on Common Core. He makes no mention of Sens. Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz or Rand Paul, but does implicitly knock the prospect that they all might run for president while serving in the Senate. During his last run, he says, "I saw others who were sitting members of Congress or the Senate, who would still receive the paycheck plus all their benefits that I helped pay for, and yet never had to show up for work to get the check!" he writes. "Nice work if you can get it!" 6. His verdict on the Obamas' parenting skills is still out. Huckabee says that he's "generally admired the parenting instincts of the First Couple," but is appalled that they let their daughters listen to Jay-Z and Beyonce's "Drunk in Love." "With the First Lady so concerned about making sure her daughters' bellies don't ingest unhealthy food, how can she let their brains ingest obnoxious and toxic mental poison in the form of song lyrics?" 7. He's allergic to cigarette smoke. "I suppose I'm lucky to be highly allergic to tobacco smoke, because I've never smoked a single cigarette and never wanted to."

Summarize this article:
Pull out a flat tray or baking sheet that’s small enough to fit inside your freezer. Clean off the tray if necessary, then line it with a piece of parchment paper or non-stick plastic wrap. Look for parchment paper at discount and grocery stores. The individual slices should not touch each other, but you can set them incredibly close to preserve space. If necessary, pull out additional baking sheets to store all your fruit slices. To better preserve the color and flavor of your kiwi slices, you can coat them with a thin layer of standard, granulated white sugar. To do so, grab the sugar with your fingers and sprinkle it over the fruit, letting it spread out evenly. For every 1 imp qt (1,100 mL) of kiwi slices you have, plan to use about 8 oz (230 g) of sugar. In place of sugar, you can use a store-bought fruit preservative powder. To help pack in moisture, lay a sheet of parchment paper or non-stick plastic on top of your kiwi slices. Press down on the paper to make sure there is no space between it and the fruit. If you’d like, wrap the entire sheet in protective paper to cover up any additional air holes.
Summary: | Cover a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Place your kiwi slices on the sheet. Coat the kiwis with white sugar (optional). Cover the kiwi slices with parchment paper. | 2 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Scott Kevin Walker (born November 2, 1967) is an American politician serving as the 45th and current Governor of Wisconsin since 2011. First elected Wisconsin Governor in the 2010 general election, he won a 2012 recall election and was reelected a second time in 2014. He is a former member of the Wisconsin State Assembly and a former Milwaukee County Executive. Born in Colorado Springs, Colorado, Walker was raised in Iowa and in Delavan, Wisconsin, before attending Marquette University.
On April 2, 2012, Walker signed a law to fund evaluation of the reading skills of kindergartners as part of an initiative to ensure that students are reading at or above grade level by 3rd grade. The law also created a system for evaluating teachers and principals based in part on the performance of their students. It specified that student performance metrics must be based on objective measures, including their performance on standardized tests. Walker approved a two-year freeze of tuition at the University of Wisconsin System in the 2013 budget. In 2014, he proposed a two-year extension of the freeze based on expected cash balances for the system in excess of $1 billion. On February 3, 2015, Walker delivered a budget proposal to the Wisconsin Legislature, in which he recommended placing the University of Wisconsin system under the direction of a "private authority", governed by the Board of Regents (all the governor's appointees). The budget proposal called for a 13% reduction in state funding for the university system. The budget proposal also called for re-writing the Wisconsin Idea, replacing the university's fundamental commitment to the "search for truth" with the goal of workforce readiness. Walker faced broad criticism for the changes and at first blamed the rewriting of the Wisconsin Idea on a "drafting error." Politifact and the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel later reported that Walker's administration had insisted to University of Wisconsin officials on scrapping the Wisconsin Idea, the guiding principle for the state's universities for more than a century. Walker then acknowledged that UW System officials had raised objections about the proposal and had been told the changes were not open to debate.

For instance, if a radio wave passing a given location has a flux of 1 pW / m2 (10−12 watts per square meter) and an antenna has an effective area of 12 m2, then the antenna would deliver 12 pW of RF power to the receiver (30 microvolts rms at 75 ohms).

Miley Cyrus is hearing about her infamous twerking performance at the MTV Video Music Awards from her TV grandmother. "I know what a lot of my generation is thinking: They're appalled," Vicki Lawrence tells CNN. Lawrence played Miley's "Mamaw Ruthie" from 2006 to 2011 on the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana." Lawrence doesn't admire the performance itself, but she admits it was a PR triumph. "She pushed the envelope a little bit, but she's what everybody is talking about in the news right now," Lawrence said. Lawrence began working on "Hannah Montana" back when Miley was barely a teenager. She says even then, she could tell Cyrus had star potential. "She did have a lot of talent from the get-go, and (was) very precocious -- very much more mature than her age, very much aware, body awareness and all that," Lawrence said. "So I'm not sure that any of this really surprises me." If Miley had body awareness back then, the whole country is aware of it now. But whether the outrageous twerking episode was a good career move in the long run, Lawrence isn't sure. "(Miley) might be very smart. She might be really wrong."

Juror faces two years jail for using Facebook to investigate the case. Supreme Court forced to abandon Lawrence Alfred Gaskell's murder trial. It is a criminal offence for juror to conduct own inquiries into the defendant mid-trial, with a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment. The juror searched for details about the suspect online and on Facebook. The jury were about to commence deliberations and decide on a verdict. Gaskell will tried later this year for the murder of the mother of his children.
Article: | By. Lucy Thackray For Daily Mail Australia. A Brisbane juror faces two years jail time after the Supreme Court was forced to abandon the murder trial of Lawrence Alfred Gaskell, after it was found the juror committed a criminal offence by using Facebook to conduct their own investigation into the murder. Lawrence Alfred Gaskell, 72, has been charged with the murder of his ex-wife and the mother of his children, Katarina Gaskell on October 17, 2011. The trial judge discharged the jury when it was revealed one of the 12 jurors researched the victim and the suspect, allegedly using Facebook and the Internet to search for additional details on the suspect and the victim. Katarina Gaskell, 62, was killed when she was bashed with a hammer in a Brisbane home in 2011. Mrs Gaskell died from the injuries hospital the day after she was attacked. http://www.rotuma.net/. OBTAINED 9 August 2014. pic info: from (event) Alan and Jan in Brisbane, February 2008. The Supreme Court has been forced to abandon the murder trial of Lawrence Alexander Gaskell after it was discovered one of the jurors committed a criminal offence by using Facebook to search for information about the suspect and the victim. Under Queensland law, it is a criminal offence for a person who has been sworn in as a juror to investigate the defendant before the jury has come to a verdict. According to Queensland law, it is a criminal offence for a person who has been sworn as a juror to make inquiries about the defendant in the trial before the jury has reached its verdict. The juror faces a maximum penalty of two years imprisonment. The trial judge was allegedly made aware of the breach of conduct after the offending juror confided in his Internet activity with another member of the jury. The two-week hearing was in its tenth day, with the jury preparing to leave court to deliberate and come to a verdict. With the current trial aborted, Gaskell will be tried again later in the year. The Supreme Court of Queensland (pictured) were forced to abort the trial and must now decide if they will prosecute the juror who independently investigating the trial, before coming to a verdict with the jury. On Wednesday, Justice Jean Dalton dismissed the jury and ordered a transcript of the juror's Internet activities. The information will be referred to Attorney-General Jarrod Bleijie, who will decide if the juror will face prosecution. Mrs Gaskell was bashed with a hammer at a house in Zillmere, in suburban Brisbane, and died from her injuries in hosptial the following day. Gaskell has pleaded not guilty to the murder, admitting to 'cutting his wife with a knife and bashing her with a hammer.' Gaskell claims that he was acting in self-defence. The couple divorced in 2009 and the court has been told that Mrs Gaskell moved next door, to a property that the couple owned. A legal battle ensued between Lawrence and Katarina Gaskell, disputing the ownership on the property. In late August 2011, Mrs Gaskell's new partner moved into the home. Gaskell must be tried again in a new case later in the year, after the Supreme Court was forced to abandon the case, which was nearing completion.

John von Neumann:
Von Neumann is credited with the equilibrium strategy of mutual assured destruction, providing the deliberately humorous acronym, MAD. (Other humorous acronyms coined by von Neumann include his computer, the Mathematical Analyzer, Numerical Integrator, and Computer—or MANIAC). He also "moved heaven and earth" to bring MAD about. His goal was to quickly develop ICBMs and the compact hydrogen bombs that they could deliver to the USSR, and he knew the Soviets were doing similar work because the CIA interviewed German rocket scientists who were allowed to return to Germany, and von Neumann had planted a dozen technical people in the CIA. The Russians believed that bombers would soon be vulnerable, and they shared von Neumann's view that an H-bomb in an ICBM was the ne plus ultra of weapons, and they believed that whoever had superiority in these weapons would take over the world, without necessarily using them. He was afraid of a "missile gap" and took several more steps to achieve his goal of keeping up with the Soviets:

The U.N. Security Council will take up a draft resolution that would establish an interim peacekeeping force for the disputed border region of Abyei, U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Susan Rice told reporters Thursday. The draft resolution calls for the deployment of 4,200 Ethiopian National Defense Force peacekeepers to the region. "We are looking forward to discussions with council members in order to swiftly adopt a resolution authorizing this new interim security force for Abyei so that the agreement that both parties have reached, which is obviously urgent and fragile, can be implemented immediately and effectively," Rice told reporters after the Security Council met in closed session. The purpose of the interim security agreement is to allow for the withdrawal of forces from Abyei, she said. "At this stage that means the forces of the government of Sudan, which are now occupying Abyei, and that that area would become demilitarized and administered in a joint fashion and that would persist pending resolution of the critical underlying issues." Time for action over Sudan? The Sudanese government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement signed an agreement Monday that allows U.N. peacekeepers in Abyei. The two sides agreed in principle on the need for a third party to monitor the ill-defined border between north and south before the scheduled July 9 independence for the south. Thursday's announcement came a day after U.S. President Barack Obama applauded the signing of the agreement, the latest effort to quell the violence in Sudan that has forced tens of thousands of people from their homes. "I commend the parties for taking this step forward toward peace, and I urge them now to build on that progress and agree to an immediate cease-fire in Southern Kordofan," the White House said in a statement. Southern Kordofan is the oil-rich northern border state where fighting has also erupted between government troops and forces loyal to the south. Rice said she was concerned about the humanitarian situation in Southern Kordofan. "We are deeply concerned about attacks on and threats to and intimidation of U.N. personnel, obstructions to freedom of movement and access for humanitarian goods, allegations and indeed verified reports of aerial bombardment and other attacks against civilian personnel," she said. "With a cease-fire in Southern Kordofan, alongside the agreement to deploy peacekeepers to Abyei, we can get the peace process back on track," she said. "But without these actions, the road map for better relations with the government of Sudan cannot be carried forward, which will only deepen Sudan's isolation in the international community." The people from the Nuba Mountains in Southern Kordofan are northerners but they aligned with the south's rebel movement during Sudan's decades-long civil war. They are viewed as a threat by Khartoum because Southern Kordofan will remain part of the north after independence. "The treatment of civilians in South Kordofan, including the reported human rights abuses and targeting of people along ethnic lines, is reprehensible," said Valerie Amos, the United Nations undersecretary general for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator. Between Abyei and Southern Kordofan, about 160,000 people have been displaced from their homes, the United Nations has said. Southern Sudan voted for independence in a January referendum that was largely peaceful. But with its separation pending, tensions have heightened to what they were like during the civil war days and there has been little cause for celebration over the birth of a nation. The U.S. State Department issued a warning Wednesday, urging U.S. citizens to avoid travel to the border areas -- including Abyei and Southern Kordofan -- as well as to the Darfur region of Sudan.

Start by reducing your alcohol intake. Have food before you drink. Drink a lot of water. Revise recipes that call for alcohol. Don't try to explain quitting to people. Make changes to your routine. Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t let guilt consume you.
Article: | Rome wasn't built in a day. You're probably not going to kick your habit in a week, either. That's perfectly okay. Small victories beget bigger ones. In the beginning, simply try to reduce the amount of alcohol you consume. Going straight from a heavy drinker to cold turkey is a recipe for physical and emotional disaster. Imagine that due to excess alcohol, you are vomiting and having paralyzing headaches. If you've felt this way before while drinking, try to summon those memories. The pain you feel is good: it's a willingness to change your habits, and that's the first step. Even if you only reduce your daily drinking by one drink, it's a success. No step is too small at this point. A mistake here is getting comfortable only curbing your drinking by one drink. Keep working on reducing the alcohol you consume. Every week, cut down the total number of drinks by at least one. If you want to be more ambitious, try halving the number of drinks you allow yourself each week. Eating a meal before drinking will reduce your interest for drinking. It will also make it harder to get drunk. If you do this, don't trick yourself into letting your body get as drunk as you would have if you hadn't eaten — although very clever, that's what we call cheating! Water will help keep you hydrated, make you feel better, and help flush out toxins from your body. Men are advised to drink 12 cups (3.0 liters) of water a day, and women are advised to drink 9 cups (2.2 liters). This will make it harder for you to justify having alcohol in your house. Use non-alcoholic sparkling wine instead, or cut that part out of the recipe. Most people do not drink like alcoholics do. They cannot understand the fact that some people truly have a problem with alcohol. Of course, there are others who have the problem too. Either way, people will say "You don't have a problem!" When you do quit drinking, just say "No thanks, I'll have water — I'm trying to watch my weight." If you hang out with them very much they'll figure it out — and they'll think "Good for him!" If you religiously start drinking right after work or when you go home, change your routine to involve another activity. Visit your parents or a friend. A little change of scenery will help break the cycle of addiction. Buy a planner and plan activities during the times when you would normally drink. Idle hands are the devil's workshop, right? If you plan activities with other people, it will be harder to get drunk. If you write those activities down in a planner, you'll be more likely to do them. Many people will find excuses like, “I’ve been drinking for so long, it probably won’t make any difference,” or “I’ve tried so many times, I just can’t do it.” Some will feel hopelessly defeated if they find that they have something highly progressive like cirrhosis of the liver. Quitting drinking can extend life no matter what’s going on. How long it extends is entirely up to you. Stop trying to justify to yourself why you are not quitting. Quitting justifies itself. You should remind yourself that if you were willing to try quitting so many times in the past, you have the ability to try again. There is no age limit nor is it ever too late to try to quit drinking. Even if the last thing that you do is quit, the victory of quitting pays for itself and gives hope to other people. Some people will feel a sense of foolishness and guilt over not having done something sooner. Don’t pass blame on anyone. Alcohol is the enemy. It has been whispering in your ear and telling you that it’s more important than anything else in your life. There is nothing more important than you. You are of no use to anyone if you die. Hence, you must overthrow the oppressive rule of alcohol and start fresh, just as any country in revolution. Feeling guilty is only half of the equation. If you're just getting sober because you feel guilty, you're getting sober for the wrong reasons. You should be getting sober because you care about yourself, you care about the happiness of your family and friends (who care deeply about you), and you care about leaving an impact on the world. Guilt is only half the reason you should be quitting. | 8 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Elections were last held between November 2011 and January 2012 which was later dissolved. The next parliamentary election will be held within 6 months of the constitution's ratification on 18 January 2014. Originally, the parliament was to be formed before the president was elected, but interim president Adly Mansour pushed the date. The Egyptian presidential election, 2014, took place on 26–28 May 2014. Official figures showed a turnout of 25,578,233 or 47.5%, with Abdel Fattah el-Sisi winning with 23.78 million votes, or 96.91% compared to 757,511 (3.09%) for Hamdeen Sabahi.

What is the title of this article:
Before creation of Warsaw Pact, fearing Germany rearmed, Czechoslovak leadership sought to create security pact with East Germany and Poland. These states protested strongly against re-militarization of West Germany. The Warsaw Pact was primarily put in place as a consequence of the rearming of West Germany inside NATO. Soviet leaders, as many European countries in both western and eastern side, feared Germany being once again a military power as a direct threat and German militarism remained a fresh memory among Soviets and Eastern Europeans. As Soviet Union had already bilateral treaties with all of its eastern satellites, the Pact has been long considered 'superfluous', and because of the rushed way in which it was conceived, NATO officials labeled it as a 'cardboard castle'. Previously, in March 1954, the USSR, fearing the restoration of German Militarism in West Germany, requested admission to NATO.

Traffic stopped along the route of his funeral cortege - from Westminster to Southwark - and restaurants and cafes emptied with the peaceful conformity that hundreds of police officers can summon.
Hundreds of people quietly gathered at the roadside hours before the coffin arrived.
Among them, a former officer who spoke of the huge sense of pride he felt for what he called the "police family".
And this family was out in force on Monday. Rows and rows of police officers lined the route as many more looked on from the crowds.
For many onlookers, this would be the most police officers they had ever seen and certainly the biggest funeral.
The pageantry was an extraordinary display of solidarity and national pride for the people who protect us - albeit a small consolation to the family and friends of PC Palmer.
The scene was - as one passerby put it - "humbling".
The quietness continued even as the crowds swelled.
Amongst them were workers from nearby offices and tourists who had stumbled across the whole thing unknowingly, but were drawn to stay.
As one well-wisher said: "He's given his entire life and it's only right that we pay our respects."
For such a public event, there were also private moments of grief.
The officer who stood stoically even as the tears rolled down his face at the sight of the flower-laden hearse. The man for whom it became too much as he clutched the railings and sobbed.
And of course for the family - the people to whom Keith Palmer was 'no 1 daddy', husband, son and brother - who were in the forefront of everyone's minds as the coffin passed.
For one woman waiting outside London Bridge station, the day was particularly poignant.
Helen Byfield's husband was a colleague of PC Palmer. She described the dead officer as "trusting" and "reliable".
She organises the UK Police Unity tour - a bike ride which raises money for the families of officers who have lost their lives on duty.
She said part of today was a reminder that PC Palmer's loved ones would still be part of the police family and have all the support which that brings.
"They won't be forgotten," she added.
Large parts of the crowd remained long after the service had started, in quiet contemplation alongside the lines of unwavering police officers.
The sound of traffic was replaced with the hymns from within the Cathedral - played out into the streets over loud speakers.
The service concluded with a rendition of God Save the Queen which echoed out onto the London roads.
As the hearse made its way back from the cathedral, spontaneous applause erupted from the crowd for PC Palmer's final journey.

Frédéric Chopin
In 1827, soon after the death of Chopin's youngest sister Emilia, the family moved from the Warsaw University building, adjacent to the Kazimierz Palace, to lodgings just across the street from the university, in the south annex of the Krasiński Palace on Krakowskie Przedmieście,[n 5] where Chopin lived until he left Warsaw in 1830.[n 6] Here his parents continued running their boarding house for male students; the Chopin Family Parlour (Salonik Chopinów) became a museum in the 20th century. In 1829 the artist Ambroży Mieroszewski executed a set of portraits of Chopin family members, including the first known portrait of the composer.[n 7]

Dear Mr. Chili Manager, I am finding it hard to find the words to express the roller coaster of emotions I felt at my most recent trip to your Grill & Bar. My husband and I noticed that you have brought back your 2 for $20 deal once and for all and decided to take you up on your offer. Upon being seated we were greeted by a young lady who I believe her name was Ruth. We advised her that we will be partaking in the 2 for $20 special and ordered the Cheeseburger and Chicken Crispers (which by the way why are there two versions?? It is very confusing and unnecessary). For our appetizer we indicated we would love to feast on the Texas Cheese Fries with no jalapenos. A few minutes later, as i sipped on my delicious strawberry lemonade, Ruth delivered our cheese fries. As she placed them on the table she immediately took them back as she realized we had asked for no jalapenos and sure enough the little green monsters were sprinkled throughout our batch of fries. No big deal mistakes happen. Less than 2 minutes later she returns with our new order... or so I thought. Here is where the plot thickens. As my husband began to dive in to our appetizer I couldn't help but notice the placement of the fries seemed to look exactly has they had when they had jalapenos on top. I hesitantly take a fry and notice they seem a tad spicier than they should. My wheels are turning.. is my mind playing tricks on me? I express my concern to my husband and ask if we have just been bamboozled and reserved the same batch of fries? I feel my angry eyes being activated... If I just wanted to pick off the jalapenos I would have done it myself. I begin to think.. oh no who picked them off was it our server? Were her hands clean? My husband is chuckling at my freak out he said he would ask and take care of it. Sure enough after asking our server she confirmed that was in fact the case. My husband in trying to stress the wrongness of doing that saying he was allergic and that we wouldn't want to see his face swell and turn red. She apologized and said that when most people ask for no jalapenos its just because they don't like them. Okay first of all, if I ask for no jalapenos I shouldn't have to indicate if it is a preference or a medical condition. Secondly, news flash if you pick them off there is still seeds and juices that can still reek havoc on the fries and cheese. And lastly, I don't care whatever the reason, if the order is wrong I think the proper procedure would be to do a re-fire. Isn't here health codes for a reason? I believe that Miss Ruth realized the error in her ways. Especially because now our entrees arrived pretty much at the same time as our appetizer because of this situation. I gave you two stars because I do give Ruth a A for effort as she must have apologized 5 or 6 times during our meal and even offered a free dessert for our troubles. Mr. Chili Manager.. please tell me this is an isolated incident and not how you train your staff to fix orders. Unfortunately, I will forever remember your location as the "Jalapeno Picker Outer" spot.

Here is an article:
Planning your 2013 holidays? Often the timing of when you book matters more than which agency you use.
Historically, January is the month when tour operators, both online and offline, run the greatest number of deeply discounted holiday packages, where flights are sold along with hotels. Many of these packages are for travel between now and September, though some are only for trips within the next few months.
When it comes to purchasing flights separately, though, booking far in advance isn’t always the best idea.
Many studies – mostly focusing on tickets sold by US online travel agencies – have been done on the best time to purchase flights, and sadly, the results aren’t as clear and definitive as one might hope. But the overall direction of the research does offer a few clues to help travellers take advantage of the periodic rises and falls in airfares, both for travel in the US and beyond.
Kayak.com, the metasearch website, studied more than a billion US domestic airfares available for purchase throughout 2011. The site found that the average price when tickets were booked six months before departure ($406) tended to be 9% higher than the average airfare available during that six-month period ($370), and 19% more than the average price available a mere 21 days before departure ($342).
But don’t wait too long. As any savvy traveller knows, prices tend to skyrocket for truly last-minute purchases. The study revealed that airfares sold one week before departure tended to be 30% more expensive ($445) than they were two weeks prior.
For international trips departing from the US, timing didn’t matter as much. Tickets were the cheapest 34 days before departure, but the fares averaged $977, which is merely 4% lower than the average of fare prices at any point in the six months before departure, $1,016.
The old rule of thumb – booking tickets three months ahead for the lowest prices – seems now to be out of synch with the latest research.
The time of day you book tickets may make a difference, too. An on-going study, whose preliminary results were reported in the Economic Journal in 2010 by Marc Möller at the University of Bern and Makoto Watanabe at VU University in Amsterdam, suggests that airline tickets purchased around the world tend to be less expensive when booked in the afternoon, rather than in the morning. The authors considered the savings statistically significant, but didn’t reveal the exact amounts because research has yet to conclude. (Nighttime purchases, however, appear to offer no additional savings.)
One possible explanation is that airlines assume that people who book tickets in the morning tend to be business travellers who are willing to spend more money. But no one knows the reason for sure.
The day of the week you book tickets may also make a difference. FareCompare.com, a website that has analysed a few billion fare searches since 2007, reports that Tuesday is typically the day when the most discounted fares are available for domestic US routes.
No one is certain why airlines tend to post the bulk of their fare sales at the start of the week. But some have speculated that it’s a habit held over from 15 years ago, when travel agents typically worked Monday-to-Friday schedules and airline-pricing analysts spent Mondays preparing to launch sales that appeared on Tuesdays — early enough for customers to visit the agents during the rest of the week. The pricing analysts may eventually lose this habit, though, as they adjust to the pace of always-open online travel agencies.
What’s true about timing in general may not be true for you specifically, so before booking a specific ticket, try the fare prediction tools at Bing Travel, a Microsoft-owned website that analyses millions of round-trip flight itineraries daily to determine pricing patterns. After you run a search for a US domestic or international trip (with at least one airport on the itinerary being in the US), Bing Travel makes a prediction about whether you should buy, because prices are predicted to go up later, or wait, because lower prices are expected. An independent audit of its predictions by Navigant, a consulting firm, found that the forecasts were correct approximately three out of four times.
As a downside, Bing’s price predictor only works on routes within the US or that include one US stop and are travelling to or from Canada, Europe or the Caribbean, all within a few months after purchase.
The bottom line You have the best odds of finding the best deal on flights by making your purchase on Tuesdays in the afternoon, about three weeks in advance for domestic US tickets and a little more than a month in advance for international tickets.

Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
Isaac Asimov (; c. January 2, 1920 - April 6, 1992) was an American writer and professor of biochemistry at Boston University. He was known for his works of science fiction and popular science. Asimov was a prolific writer who wrote or edited more than 500 books and an estimated 90,000 letters and postcards. His books have been published in 9 of the 10 major categories of the Dewey Decimal Classification.
Asimov was born on an unknown day between October 4, 1919 and January 2, 1920, inclusive. Asimov himself celebrated it on January 2. Asimov's parents were Anna Rachel (nee Berman) and Judah Asimov, a family of Jewish millers. He was named Isaac after his mother's father, Isaac Berman. When he was born, his family lived in Petrovichi near Klimovichi, which was then Gomel Governorate in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (now Smolensk Oblast, Russia). Asimov wrote of his father, "My father, for all his education as an Orthodox Jew, was not Orthodox in his heart", noting that "he didn't recite the myriad prayers prescribed for every action, and he never made any attempt to teach them to me". In 1921, Asimov and 16 other children in Petrovichi caught double pneumonia. Only Asimov survived. He later had two younger siblings: a sister, Marcia (born Manya, June 17, 1922 - April 2, 2011), and a brother, Stanley (July 25, 1929 - August 16, 1995), who was vice-president of New York Newsday. His family emigrated to the United States when he was three years old. Since his parents always spoke Yiddish and English with him, he never learned Russian, but he remained fluent in Yiddish as well as English. Growing up in Brooklyn, New York, Asimov taught himself to read at the age of five, and his mother got him into first grade a year early by claiming he was born on September 7, 1919. In third grade he learned about the "error" and insisted on an official correction of the date to January 2. After becoming established in the U.S., his parents owned a succession of candy stores, in which everyone in the family was expected to work. The candy stores sold newspapers and magazines, a fact that Asimov credited as a major influence in his lifelong love of the written word, as it presented him with an unending supply of new reading material as a child that he could not have otherwise afforded. He became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 1928 at the age of eight.

Summarize:
Nearly half come from either the Philippines or Indonesia, and are indispensable assets for many working parents in the city.
But, as the BBC's Grace Tsoi discovers, the experience of motherhood of one Filipina live-in maid differs enormously from that of the Chinese working mother who employs her.
Marites B Samson chose to leave her native Philippines and head to Hong Kong for work, even though she did not speak the language and had never been a domestic helper.
The money was the draw.
In Hong Kong, a domestic helper earns at least 4,210 Hong Kong dollars ($543) - the minimum wage - while in Samson's hometown, Cabangan, a cashier earns 800 Hong Kong dollars ($103), so roughly a fifth of that.
"In the Philippines, life is so hard, and unless I can work here, nobody will support my two kids' education and they won't have a good future," Marites explains.
When Samson arrived in Hong Kong for the first time, her son Samuel was barely four and her daughter Elazia was three years old.
Samson only sees them every two years when she goes home.
The pay has come at a high price in another sense too.
100 Women 2015
This year's season features two weeks of inspirational stories about the BBC's 100 Women and others who are defying stereotypes around the world.
Like us on Facebook and follow us on Instagram using the hashtag #100Women. Listen to the programmes here.
During one trip home, Samson discovered her husband had been cheating on her.
"He said he had needs I couldn't fulfil as I was working so far away," says Samson.
She has since decided to leave her husband and her children are looked after by her sister and mother.
"I've done nothing wrong," she adds, "I just live for my kids so they can study and [they] didn't deserve this."
Then the emotional toll gets the better of her.
"As a mother, it's so hard to leave your children. When I left, they were crying, crying. But if I didn't go, nobody would support them," she tells me, wiping tears from her face.
Samson says many of her friends working in Hong Kong experience similar problems.
Labour-exporting countries, such as the Philippines and Indonesia, earn more foreign currency and have lower unemployment rates, but broken homes are often an unacknowledged consequence.
As a college lecturer, Karen Lam works at least nine hours a day - reportedly about 20% higher than the OECD average but the norm in Hong Kong.
While Samson takes care of her five-year-old daughter and handles the chores, Karen Lam pursues her career.
"I love working," says Karen, "and of course I want to achieve my career goals."
Working full-time means she has three or four hours a day to spend with her daughter.
"Sometimes I feel guilty. There was a time when I was still teaching at night so I couldn't see my daughter. I missed her so much then."
Karen will not allow herself, however, to be paralysed by guilt.
"I need to adjust mentally. I make the choice to continue working."
There are also practical reasons for working.
"I have to take care of my family. We also have other expenses and still need to pay the mortgage."
If she stops working, she says she and her husband Felix Tong would have trouble paying their bills and would need to cancel their evening classes, which are important for furthering their careers.
Leisure, like travelling, would also be impossible, she says.
Domestic help is something Karen knew from the start she would need, even though she herself was raised by her grandmother.
This reflects a changing trend.
According to statistics, 67% of families in 2006 were nuclear [two generations, rather than more], compared with 54.4% 25 years earlier.
Karen says she recognises the contribution domestic workers make, saying: "We have to put ourselves in their shoes."
Summary: | Of the seven or so million residents in the former British colony of Hong Kong, nearly 5% - some 340,000 - are foreign domestic helpers. | 0 | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |

Article: During a seizure your dog will be disorientated and scared. You don't want to add to his stress by getting hysterical, shouting, or otherwise reinforcing the impression that he is right to be fearful. Alarming him only heightens his arousal and can prolong the episode. This is ultimately detrimental to a swift recovery. During a seizure, your dog is in a highly sensitized state; noise, light, and sometimes even touch, can trigger a new stream of electrical impulses in the brain that fuel the fit. By staying calm you can assess the situation for trigger flashpoints, and act to make the environment calm and quiet. Make a note of the time. As soon as your dog starts to seizure, make a note of the time, and record when the fit ends. This is useful information for the veterinarian to build up a picture of how serious (or not) the seizure was. Also, when a pet is in the grip of a seizure, time seems to stand still; it can be reassuring to know what felt like a lifetime was actually only a minute or two. During a seizure, your dog will thrash around. Look around for nearby objects he might knock against and injure himself by, such as chair legs or electric fires. Where possible, move objects out of the way, rather than moving your dog – the latter will stimulate him. You may also wish to remove objects that you don't want broken or moved, whether they're a hazard to your dog or not. It's easy to remove objects from the room that are light enough to pick up, but for heavier objects like tables, rest a pillow against the offending areas to provide cushioning. Blankets and towels work, too, in a pinch. If your dog is in danger of banging against a large object, a useful alternative is a duvet placed gently over your dog, leaving his head free. If he is banging his head on the floor, it is fine to slide a cushion beneath him to soften the knocks. It is an old wives' tale that a dog can swallow his tongue during a seizure. On no account should you put your hand in the mouth of a seizuring dog. He will not know what he is doing and bite down and not release your hand until the fit is over. It is both unnecessary and unwise to take this risk. The only situation you should touch your dog in (apart from giving him a tranquilizer, as discussed below) is if he is in danger and his fit will lead to physical injury. If he is seizuring at the top of a flight of stairs, for example, then it is best to risk moving him and quietly slide him along the ground to a place of safety. "Sliding" your pup is key here. You do not want a seizuring dog thrashing in your arms, risking you dropping him and both of you getting injured. If you can, push, slide, or otherwise move him in a manner that doesn't involve lifting him up to keep both of you safe. Once you have done everything you can do to aid your dog's recovery, shoot a short video film of the seizure event on your smart phone. This is helpful to your vet because not everything that looks like a seizure is actually a true seizure. It is immensely helpful to the veterinarian to witness the attack first hand. If you're too agitated to do so, have another person do this. Just make sure they stay a reasonable distance away so as to not exacerbate your dog's condition.
What is a summary? | Stay calm. Remove objects that could injure your dog. Use cushions to protect your dog. Don't put your hand in or near the dog's mouth. Move your dog only if he is in danger. Take a video. | 6 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |
