Write an ordered list of reviews about "1073037-hunchback of notre dame". | 1. The Hunchback's message -- that beauty is only skin deep -- goes only so far.
2. The latest and most uncertain of Disney's animated efforts, with its manic mood swings and cloying, none-too-cuddly hero.
3. By sticking faithfully to the broader themes of Hugo's story -- those of desolation and desire, of trust and betrayals thereof -- the creators have fashioned the most poignant and deeply moral story to roll off the Disney storyboards in decades.
4. A high point in the renaissance of Disney animation.
5. Much more than just a moving, emotionally resonant cartoon--it is a moving, emotionally resonant motion picture, period.
6. Hunchback will be instructive to children. But the movie felt a little overly educational to me.
7. There is no question that computer technology is allowing Disney animators an ever-increasing freedom, and the opportunity to create some astonishing images.
8. I wish Disney had stuck to a lesser-known and lesser-loved book.
9. Make your children see the movie. If they get to like the deformed main character, then you know these kids can tell the difference between right and wrong.
10. This is the least-enjoyable animated feature to come from the studio since its 1989 rebirth. | 7 | Flan2021 | opinion_abstracts_rotten_tomatoes | zs_opt |

Here is a news article: Just before suppertime on Tuesday, someone spotted a human foot, attached to a leg and encased in a running shoe, bobbing in False Creek, which divides downtown Vancouver from the rest of the city.
As the creek is made up of the four different waterways that encircle this British Columbia metropolis, it’s impossible to say for sure where the foot came from. But what is known, and what’s truly baffling about this particular appendage, is that it’s the 11th to appear in nearby waters in the past four years.
Eleven feet, some right and some left, all clad in buoyant running shoes, all within 125 miles or so of each other.
Is there a serial killer with a foot fetish on the loose? Some crime buffs would like to think so, and even those who disagree have to admit that the whole thing sounds like a real-life episode of Dexter. But it turns out that the best explanation for the floating appendages is more science than fiction, more droll than juicy.
Since the feet began washing onto shores in British Columbia’s Georgia Strait in 2007, mystery aficionados have salivated at the chance to solve the case from their armchairs. But the first of those limbs have since been identified, say officials who’ve run DNA tests and examined the feet for signs of foul play. And the results of those cases are in.
“There’s no evidence,” Vancouver City Coroner Stephen Fonseca told The Daily Beast on Friday, “of mechanical disarticulation.”
In other words, the feet came apart from their owners naturally. They weren’t hacked off or sawed off or chewed off or yanked off. They just drifted away from their bodies, as decomposing limbs are wont to do.
That alone, of course, doesn’t mean the feet weren’t murdered. But Canadian detectives have also spent a good deal of time investigating the backgrounds of the limbs’ owners in recent years, perhaps due to mounting media-driven pressure to solve the mystery of the missing feet.
“Even a bad episode of The Sopranos will cough up a couple other body parts than feet,” said forensics consultant and former Toronto Police detective Mark Mendelson. “There are so many coincidences taking place, I don’t think you can write it off. Everybody who jumps off a bridge is wearing runners? It’s bizarre. The common denominators are such that you’ve got to wonder. Until you can show me something pathologically concrete that this is a natural separation of that foot from a body, then I’m saying you’ve got to think dirty.”
The results can only have been a disappointment to conspiracy theorists (not to suggest that Mendelson is one of them). For one, the only feet that have been linked to one another actually belonged to the same person: a right and a left. The rest have all been ruled, if you will, disconnected.
One foot that washed up on the banks of the Fraser River in 2007 belonged to a 28-year-old man from Surrey, B.C., police learned after releasing a photograph to the media. (The family recognized the shoe and DNA confirmed the man’s ID.)
While a foot isn’t nearly enough of a body on which to perform a real autopsy and determine a cause of death, investigators did learn that this particular man had a history of mental illness, and that he was “distraught” before disappearing from his home in Surrey on April 5, 2007.

“It is suspected that Mr. (redacted) entered the Fraser River in Delta, B.C., and soon after unconsciousness or death, his body sank,” wrote Karen Collins, coroner of the province of British Columbia, in a report obtained by The Daily Beast. “There was no evidence of foul play.”
Another completed investigation linked a missing foot via DNA evidence to a 23-year-old man from White Rock, B.C. He suffered from schizophrenia but didn’t like the effect his medication had on him and wasn’t taking it, which led to “a breakdown” in January 2008, according to Coroner Fonseca’s report. Days before he disappeared, he went to see a psychiatrist at the urging of his father, and the shrink injected the man with an anti-psychotic.
It didn’t take. He was last seen in his car beneath a bridge over the Fraser River, the same river where his body turned up.
Of four feet that have been identified so far, none are thought to have involved any sort of foul play, Fonseca said. “There’s certainly nothing to indicate that they died at the hands of another.”
The more likely scenario, says Gail Anderson, a criminologist at British Columbia’s Simon Fraser University, is suicide. Vancouver is a city of many bridges, and jumping from them remains a popular way for people to take their own lives. Investigations into the backgrounds of the owners of the feet so far identified all point in that direction, even if there’s no definitive proof of persons hurling themselves into the water.
“All the ones who’ve been identified so far, there’s no mystery. These people were very depressed, unhappy about life, and were last seen heading toward the water,” Anderson said. “People jump off bridges. They deliberately wish to disappear.”
Much of a letdown as that may be to certain bloggers and If it bleeds, it leads” journos, it’s what makes the most sense, says Anderson—weird as it is to imagine so many feet bobbing to the surface in this one relatively small part of the world.
But why feet? Why not hands and heads and torsos? Because unlike other parts of the body, feet are often ensconced in buoyant, mummifying tennis shoes, says Richard Thompson, a physical oceanographer with the federal Institute of Ocean Sciences on Vancouver Island. While other appendages might separate, sink, and decompose, the shoes preserve all those tiny bones that would otherwise break down in the salt water, and the air-filled or rubberized soles at the bottom of those shoes would cause them to float to the surface.
Why so many in the same place? That’s a trickier question, and it’s a big part of the reason high-profile crime experts from all over the world have weighed in to suggest something’s rotten in Canada.
“Why is this happening now, in Vancouver, when it wasn’t happening before?” asked criminologist Kim Rossmo of Texas State Univeristy, who specializes in geographic profiling. “Any one given foot may have one or more different meanings or theories, but when you see an overall pattern like this, it certainly is highly suspicious.”
But there’s a reasonable explanation for that too, Thompson says. Ocean currents in this part of the world have a way of channeling items such as floating feet into the same general area, by design.
“There’s a lot of recirculation in the region; we’re working here with a semi-enclosed basin. Fraser River, False Creek, Burrard Inlet—all those regions around there are somewhat semi-enclosed. The tidal currents and the winds can keep things that are floating recirculating in the system. They don’t necessarily get rapidly flushed out... False Creek is really a backwater.”
Another possible explanation for so many feet discovered in the same place is the Vicious Cycle theory. Each time a new one gets discovered, that fuels more media attention, getting the general public that much more riled up and vigiliant about missing feet, thereby turning what otherwise might be placid walks on the beach into scavenger hunts. Time was, you saw a shoe floating in the surf, you wouldn’t give it a second glance. But now that British Columbia has become famous for floating feet, people are too curious not to check it out.
“People will wade out to go look at a shoe,” Fonseca said.
So, with apologies to the modern-day Sherlock Holmes of the world, there’s apparently no mystery to be solved in Vancouver, at least not one that’s derived from all the newfound feet.
“It is creepy. I guess that’s the fascination,” Thompson said. He’s just not a conspiracy theorist, though, offering up as proof: “I believe the Americans landed on the moon.”
But there is one juicy morsel in the latest discovery, food for thought for those with an Agatha Christie complex. The foot found on False Creek was near a part of Vancouver known as Leg in Boot Square. That’s because in the 1800s, someone found a boot with a leg in it that had washed up on the shore of the creek.
“Police nailed it to the door of the station,” Rossmo said, “with a sign that said, ‘If anyone recognizes this, come talk to us.’”
If those two feet were somehow connected, police would have a real mystery on their hands. ||||| They appear on the sand like any piece of sea detritus. Sometimes they’re found, amid the candy wrappers and cracked shells, by volunteers cleaning up the area. Other times a vacationer might glimpse the grisly discard from the corner of her eye, a serene walk along the beach interrupted just like that.
As more people learned about these discoveries, they attracted morbid scavengers to the Pacific Northwest shorelines, where the Salish Sea connects waterways along the west coasts of the United States and Canada.
What these scavengers sought remains a prickling curiosity: severed feet attached to running shoes, washed up from origins unknown.
Sixteen of these detached human feet have been found since 2007 in British Columbia, Canada, and Washington state. Most of these have been right feet. All of them have worn running shoes or hiking boots. Among them: three New Balances, two Nikes and an Ozark Trail.
The most recent one turned up earlier this week.
Charlotte Stevens of British Columbia was taking a walk with her family on Vancouver Island, the CBC reported, when her husband spotted something in the sand.
It was a shoe, which they could see right away. But a closer inspection revealed something more.
“He picked it up and brought it out on to the beach,” she told the CBC, “and we had a look at it for about five minutes and we thought, it almost looks like there is an actual foot bone in it.”
Sure enough, the B.C. Coroners Service confirmed that the shoe came with a dismembered foot. As with the others, there’s no telling for exactly how long the foot was in the water, but the regional coroner, Matt Brown, said the exact model of shoe had gone on the market after March 2013, indicating that it once belonged to someone who went missing between then and December.
Brown is working with the police to link the foot to individuals who disappeared from the area around that time.
If history is any indication, however, the identity associated with the foot will stay adrift.
Over the years, armchair sleuths and scientists alike have used a number of terms to describe the feet: severed, dismembered, detached, disarticulated.
Found, but still lost.
After the first two feet — both right — were found in British Columbia just six days apart from one another, locals began sounding the alarm, and authorities expressed equal surprise.
“Two being found in such a short period of time is quite suspicious,” Cpl. Garry Cox of the Oceanside Royal Canadian Mounted Police told the Vancouver Sun in August 2007.
“Finding one foot is like a million to one odds,” Cox said, “but to find two is crazy. I’ve heard of dancers with two left feet, but come on.”
Five more were found in the next year, including one near Pysht, Wash. Speculation increased, as recounted in a 2008 article in the Toronto Star:
“Speculation ranges from natural disasters, such as the tsunami of 2004, to the work of drug dealers, serial killers and human traffickers. “One theory concerns a plane crash off Quadra Island three years ago with five men aboard. Only one of the bodies has been found. “Other theorists believe the coastline is being used as a body dump for organized crime activity; a third scenario is a serial killer is at work.”
But to the disappointment of many a conspiracy theorist, science suggests more mundane answers.
Writing for the Pacific Standard, Spenser Davis pointed out last year that a study on the Puget Sound found that when a body floating in water is “subjected to the push and pull of its environment,” the bones of hands and feet are almost always the first to fall off.
In British Columbia, two of the feet have since been identified as having belonged to people with mental illness, while three others were linked to individuals who probably died of natural causes.
Foul play is not suspected in any of the other cases, though it hasn’t been ruled out, either.
“All of the ones who’ve been identified so far, there’s no mystery,” Gail Anderson, a criminologist at British Columbia’s Simon Fraser University, told the Daily Beast in 2011. “These people were very depressed, unhappy about life, and were last seen heading toward the water. People jump off bridges. They deliberately wish to disappear.”
This is a fair conclusion, as the city of Vancouver is full of bridges.
But there are other points of strangeness. For one, why did the feet start turning up only after 2007, and why have they continued to turn up with such a frequency since then?
The Daily Beast considered the power of the “Vicious Cycle” theory, which suggests that once people became aware of the phenomenon, they started subconsciously — or completely deliberately, in some cases — scanning the shorelines for shoes.
Also a likely answer.
And yet — it’s hard not to wonder.
“There are so many coincidences taking place,” forensics consultant Mark Mendelson told the Daily Beast in 2011. “Everybody who jumps off a bridge is wearing runners?… Until you can show me something pathologically concrete that this is a natural separation of that foot from a body, then I’m saying you’ve got to think dirty.”

A summary of this is? | – After a short respite, athletic shoes containing human feet are once again washing up on Canadian shores, the Guardian reports. Earlier this month, a family visiting a Vancouver Island beach made a "grisly discovery," according to the CBC. "We had a look at it for about five minutes and we thought, 'It almost looks like there is an actual foot bone in it,'" says Charlotte Stephens, whose husband spotted the shoe and brought it onto the beach. It was the first foot sighting in British Columbia in four years. Five days later, another foot in a shoe was found—a match for the first, making the latest two finds a pair. They were the 11th and 12th feet to wash ashore in British Columbia since 2007. Four more have also washed up in Washington state to the south, with the most recent being found in 2014 in Seattle. Since the feet started appearing in 2007, people have suspected everything from drug dealers to serial killers, the Washington Post reports. The truth is likely much more mundane. Barb McLintock at a coroner's office in British Columbia tells the Guardian the feet almost assuredly come from people who either killed themselves ("People jump off bridges," a criminologist told the Daily Beast in 2011) or were killed by storms. A study once found that when a body is being pushed and pulled around in water, hands and feet are usually first to fall off. Coroners can tell whether bones separated naturally during decomposition or by force, and so far the feet show no signs of foul play. Tide patterns and new shoe designs with air pockets and lighter foam that allow them to float account for why the feet suddenly started appearing in 2007 in the Pacific Northwest. But one mystery still remains: Most of the shoes contain right feet. | 4 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |
Earths magnetic field helps protect Earth and its organisms. It protects us from harmful particles given off by the sun. Most of the particles are attracted to the north and south magnetic poles. This is where Earths magnetic field is strongest. This is also where relatively few organisms live. Another benefit of Earths magnetic field is its use for navigation. People use compasses to detect Earths magnetic north pole. Knowing this helps them tell direction. Many animals have natural 'compasses' that work just as well. Birds like the garden warbler in Figure 1.36 use Earths magnetic field. They use it to guide their annual migrations. Recent research suggests that warblers and other migrating birds have structures in their eyes. These structures let them see Earths magnetic field as a visual pattern.

Haw Pha Bang Chapel appears behind the Night Market.
Each morning I would awake at 5 o'clock. Was it the 20-hour trans-Pacific jet lag? Perhaps. Yet the romantic in me likes to believe it was the natural pace and aura of Luang Prabang—the former royal capital of Laos—that was rousing me each dawn, the sky turning a hazy purple over the tropics of north-central Laos. Something in the air seemed to be urging me: "Get up—this is a morning city."
Or rather, a morning town. As it's a mere sliver of a peninsula formed at the confluence of the earth-colored Mekong and Khan rivers, one can traverse the length of the main historical area of Luang Prabang in about an hour. But rushing through it—past the centuries-old temples and their magnificent Buddhas, the street vendors selling hand-woven silk, the fragrant Gallic and Laotian cuisine served at restaurants in crumbling Art Deco edifices—would do yourself an egregious disservice. True, ambitious visitors could spend just a night in Luang Prabang, a stop-off on a whirlwind tour of Indochina, but they'd be missing out on so much: seeing everything, discovering nothing.
See more photos of sights in Luang Prabang.
This may sound like mystical hyperbole, but it's true. Luang Prabang has had this effect on people, visitors and townsfolk alike for ages. According to old lore, the first settlers may have decided to build a city here over 1,000 years ago to be close to the sheer beauty of Mount Phousi, the verdant hill that is the town's centerpiece. In the first half of the 20th century, while the city was part of Indochina, French colonials quickly fell in love with its languid nature—to many, it was the perfect antidote to Paris. And today, linen-and-Pashmina-clad travelers, hearing of its reputation as the last "untouched" city in Southeast Asia, make pilgrimages here. Subsequently, a smattering of luxury boutique inns have sprung up, the French provincial façades restored to their past glory.
Still, despite Luang Prabang's growth as a destination for the off-the-beaten-path traveler, it remains a magical, fabled place. And like the surrounding meandering rivers, the soul of the city will be revealed only at its own pace, a speed as lulling as a drifting longboat.
View of Luang Prabang across the Mekong River.
If you should rise at dawn in Luang Prabang, as I did, you will be rewarded with one of Asia's most spectacular sights: a Buddhist alms procession. Each morning, beginning at 5:30, hundreds of monks from the town's 30 or so temples walk barefoot in the streets, single file, oldest in the front, youngest trailing behind, all clad in burnt-sienna-colored robes and toting alms bowls over their shoulders. Awaiting them on the side of the roads are locals, kneeling on mats with bamboo baskets of kao neaw (sticky rice) cradled under one arm. As monks pass, the locals drop pinches of rice into the alms bowls.
It's a remarkable sight, a simple act of giving and receiving, yet as quickly as it happens, it ends. The monks return to their temples. The locals go about their days.
You may want to join this stunningly meditative religious procession. Many tourists do. But unless a local invites you, position yourself at a respectful distance and simply observe. Luang Prabang excels at making one feel like it's a lost city on the Mekong; with the dense, jungle mountains encircling it, it's certainly removed enough from the rest of the world to be one. And because it's a Unesco World Heritage town, crass overdevelopment may never arrive. Still, you may find yourself caring for the survival of Luang Prabang's authenticity in a more fervent way than one would, say, Phuket's. There appear to be no signs of tourist snobbery here, nor the hustling and con games so many travelers face when visiting destination ports.
Because this place really isn't like anywhere else. Just hike the steep, winding stairs leading to the top of Mount Phousi, where That Chomsi—a Buddhist monument with a brilliant gold spire—sits and you'll see. At dusk, the mountaintop is crowded with onlookers who have come to watch the sun set over the Mekong. In the morning, however, the perch provides clear, unobstructed views of the rivers to the north and west, the rolling mountains to the east, and Luang Prabang, with its orange-tiled roofs and gleaming spires, laid out to the south.
Flights to Luang Prabang from Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Siem Reap and Hanoi are available from Lao Airlines, Bangkok Airways and Vietnam Airlines. The airport is a quick cab ride from the center of town.
You can also take a two- or three-day cruise up the Mekong from the Thai border near Houei Say, Laos: $243 to $525, depending on the season and whether you stop at lodges en route (luangsay.com).
Amantaka, from $700 per night, amanresorts.com; La Residence Phou Vao, from $340 per night, resdencephouvao.com
L'Elephant, elephant-restau.com; Tamarind Café, tamarindlaos.com
About two hours by boat up the Mekong are the Pak Ou Caves. Carved out of limestone cliffs, the caves contain thousands of wood and gold Buddhas in a multitude of sizes. The organic feel of the caves is a nice contrast to the more ornate temples in the region. You can charter a boat from near the docks along the river, but if you are staying at the Amantaka, book their luxurious private long boat for an unforgettable cruise.
To cool off during the rainy season, take a taxi ($10-$15) one hour south to the Tad Sae Falls, a series of tiered, cascading waters with swimming holes.
While many tourists don't, it's best to dress modestly. Avoid shorts, strappy dresses and sleeveless shirts. Go for cotton or linen pants and long sleeves, which will also keep mosquitoes at bay. And, yes, bring bug spray.
These hours are also the time to visit the city's temples, many of which are only open before noon. There are a few standouts: the Lotus Stupa, known for its watermelon-shape; Wat Visoun, the oldest temple in the city; and Wat Xieng Thong, the most ornate. There's nothing spiritual about Google Map-ing them on an iPhone, however. Instead, take a more laissez-faire approach—I rode my bicycle (most hotels rent them for $1), visiting temples as I happened upon them, chatting with monks along the way who were eager to practice their English, and I my Thai.
It may seem so at first, particularly in the mornings, but Luang Prabang isn't all karmic pursuits. Elsewhere in the Old Town (as its historic district is called) one can settle in and watch tuk tuks—those ubiquitous, three-wheeled taxis—putter by from one of the town's many French cafés clustered around Sisavangvong Road.
And, of course, there is the nonactivity of lounging around your hotel and taking a dip in the pool, something I highly recommend come noontime, when, although I visited in 70-degrees October, the humidity can still be brutal. There are several guesthouses that put you in the middle of the Old Town, and two ultra-luxe hotels: La Residence Phou Vao, a sprawling French colonial mansion with lush gardens of frangipani and palm trees, and the recently opened and rather magnificent Amantaka, a former French hospital. Amantaka, where I stayed, is reason enough to come to Luang Prabang. Most of its 24 suites hold private pools, and the amenities and service are on five-star levels by any standard. The vibe though, was pure aristocrat-colonial: cold towels at the ready each time you returned to its confines; the staff as knowledgeable as they were pampering.
Spires atop That Chomsi Stupa
After a swim (and a nap), I hopped on the bicycle again, making my way down the road closest to the Mekong and opted for a cold Lao Beer (try it over ice as the locals do) and an appetizer of grilled, sweet Lao sausage. There are several outdoor bars along the river, all of which seem to bleed into each other—like the temples, it's best to simply wander into any that feels right. The one for me was Big Tree Café because, as the name indicates, it was canopied by magnificently large branches and covered in moss.
Nights here are best spent dining. There are dozens of restaurants, but I found myself going back to two of them. I loved L'Elephant for the kind of classic French cooking—homemade charcuterie, braised lamb shank, cream of pumpkin soup—you'd expect to get in, well, France. And, located further down Ban Vat Nong Road, there was Tamarind Café, its menu like a crash course in Lao cuisine: fried riverweed (think: a heartier seaweed), stuffed and fried lemongrass, fragrant local fish steamed in banana leaf. Few cafés and bars stay open past 10 p.m., mandated by a 11:30 p.m. curfew (I told you this was a morning town), so forget about grabbing a last call, and instead make your way to the lantern-lit Night Market to pick out some silk scarves and silver jewelry.
At day's end, you may feel like you've done everything, and, if traveling were a checklist, maybe you have. But if you've allowed yourself to be enchanted by this town, by its quaintness, by its singularity and natural beauty, by its pungent, spicy food and tuk tuks and well-worn streets, you will look up and see the illuminated temple atop Mount Phousi—seemingly floating in the night sky like a second moon—as a sign that it's time to go to bed, early, and do it all over again the next morning, choosing to go left where yesterday you went right, trusting that Luang Prabang will take care of the rest.

Razin's parents were from the village of Usman Sobakina, 8 kilometres outside of Voronezh. He was first noted by history in 1661, as part of a diplomatic mission from the Don Cossacks to the Kalmyks. That same year Razin went on a long-distance pilgrimage to the great Solovetsky Monastery on the White Sea for the benefit of his soul. After that, all trace of him was lost for six years, when he reappeared as the leader of a robber community established at Panshinskoye, among the marshes between the rivers Tishina and Ilovlya, from whence he levied tribute from all vessels passing up and down the Volga. A long war with Poland in 1654-1667 and Sweden in 1656-1658 put heavy demands upon the people of Russia. Taxes increased, as did conscription. Many peasants, hoping to escape these burdens, fled south and joined bands of Razin's marauding Cossacks. They were also joined by many others who were disaffected with the Russian government, including people of the lower classes, as well as representatives of non-Russian ethnic groups such as Kalmyks, that were being oppressed at the time. Razin's first considerable exploit was to destroy the great naval convoy consisting of the treasury barges and the barges of the Patriarch and the wealthy merchants of Moscow. Razin then sailed down the Volga with a fleet of 35 vessels, capturing the more important forts on his way and devastating the country. At the beginning of 1668, he defeated the voivode Yakov Bezobrazov, sent against him from Astrakhan, and in the spring embarked on a predatory expedition into Daghestan and Persia, which lasted for eighteen months.

CHAPTER XVI.
MARCH FROM FORT CUMBERLAND--THE GREAT SAVAGE MOUNTAIN--CAMP AT THE LITTLE MEADOWS--DIVISION OF THE FORCES--CAPTAIN JACK AND HIS BAND--SCAROOYADI IN DANGER--ILLNESS OF WASHINGTON--HIS HALT AT THE YOUGHIOGENY--MARCH OF BRADDOCK--THE GREAT MEADOWS--LURKING ENEMIES--THEIR TRACKS--PRECAUTIONS-- THICKETTY RUN--SCOUTS--INDIAN MURDERS--FUNERAL OF AN INDIAN WARRIOR--CAMP ON THE MONONGAHELA--WASHINGTON'S ARRIVAL THERE--MARCH FOR FORT DUQUESNE-- THE FORDING OF THE MONONGAHELA--THE BATTLE--THE RETREAT--DEATH OF BRADDOCK.
On the 10th of June, Braddock set off from Fort Cumberland with his aides-de-camp, and others of his staff, and his body guard of light horse. Sir Peter Halket, with his brigade, had marched three days previously; and a detachment of six hundred men, under the command of Colonel Chapman, and the supervision of Sir John St. Clair, had been employed upwards of ten days in cutting down trees, removing rocks, and opening a road.
The march over the mountains proved, as Washington had foretold, a "tremendous undertaking." It was with difficulty the heavily laden waggons could be dragged up the steep and rugged roads, newly made, or imperfectly repaired. Often they extended for three or four miles in a straggling and broken line, with the soldiers so dispersed, in guarding them, that an attack on any side would have thrown the whole in confusion. It was the dreary region of the great Savage Mountain, and the "Shades of Death" that was again made to echo with the din of arms.
What outraged Washington's notions of the abstemious frugality suitable to campaigning in the "backwoods," was the great number of horses and waggons required by the officers for the transportation of their baggage, camp equipage, and a thousand articles of artificial necessity. Simple himself in his tastes and habits, and manfully indifferent to personal indulgences, he almost doubted whether such sybarites in the camp could be efficient in the field.
Answer the following questions:
1. When did Braddock leave?
2. From where?
3. Who went before him?
4. To do what?
5. How long did it take?
6. Who supervised it?
7. And the commander was?

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:
The first time you mention someone, include their full name (e.g., “Shannon Murnan will become the COO of Toys, Unlimited.”). For subsequent mentions, use their last name only (e.g., “Murnan has 20 years of experience with the company and is prepared to take over day-to-day operations.”). Avoid using fancy fonts or lettering and stylistic additions. Keep your press release simple and straightforward. Type it in Times New Roman font, and single-space the text. Though it may seem like a small detail, you should only use one space after punctuation, rather than two. Editors notice small details, and too many little errors can get your press release sent to the trash. The numbers one through nine should be spelled out, while numerals are used for 10 and above. This goes for cardinal (1, 2, 3, etc.) as well as ordinal (1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc.) numbers. For example, “On Saturday, 250 people attended the ninth annual historical pageant.” You should use figures to indicate time, such as “6 p.m.” rather than “six o’clock.” The Oxford, or serial, comma is used before the word “and” to separate items or phrases in a list. The Associated Press style doesn’t use the Oxford comma, so take care not to add it to your press release. For example, write “Designers Jay Hall, Katie Button and Taylor Sullivan will show their collections on Sunday.” This is opposed to “Designers Jay Hall, Katie Button, and Taylor Sullivan will show their collections on Sunday.”
Summary: | Include a person’s full name on the first mention only. Use single-spaced Times New Roman font. Put one space after punctuation. Write out numbers smaller than 10. Avoid using the Oxford comma. | 5 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |
Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Say what you will about the tediousness, acting ineptitude, and infantilism of Saw 3D, but you can't say it doesn't go all the way.
2. Strange, dumb, and sometimes even fun.
3. Cinema's premier torture-porn franchise at long last comes to a grisly end with Saw 3D, its seventh and possibly most meritless entry. And that's saying something.
4. Though the film hardly ends the series on a triumphant note, it still qualifies as one of the better entries.
5. They're just going through the motions, only this time they try to compensate for a lack of ingenuity by having the guts splatter in three dimensions.
6. Like a stumpy limb requiring quick cauterization via steam pipe (our first cringe), the Saw series is begging for closure.
7. I passed on the special Saw 3D glasses. That was my first mistake. Maybe the special Saw 3D glasses filtered out the suckiness.
8. ...sure to leave the franchise's followers thoroughly satisfied (and, of course, clamoring for more)...
9. Slasher flicks have never been big on story, but the "Saw" franchise sets the art of screenwriting back to the stone age. Good horror movies scare you, this one just puts you in a bad mood.
10. The 3D effects don't help at all in this bland and easily-forgettable entry in the long-running series.

Read this: Soteriologically, most Methodists are Arminian, emphasizing that Christ accomplished salvation for every human being, and that humans must exercise an act of the will to receive it (as opposed to the traditional Calvinist doctrine of monergism). Methodism is traditionally low church in liturgy, although this varies greatly between individual congregations; the Wesleys themselves greatly valued the Anglican liturgy and tradition. Methodism is known for its rich musical tradition; John Wesley's brother, Charles, was instrumental in writing much of the hymnody of the Methodist Church, and many other eminent hymn writers come from the Methodist tradition.

Write a question about the following article: The Patriots played the Steelers on opening night, celebrating their Super Bowl victory from the season before. On the opening possession of the game, the Steelers drove all the way to the Patriots 26, but Josh Scobee missed a 44-yard field goal attempt. After the next two drives ended in punts, the Patriots engineered a 13 play, 90-yard marathon, lasting over seven minutes with Tom Brady hitting his go-to target Rob Gronkowski for a 16-yard touchdown and the early 7-0 lead. The Steelers once again drove deep into Patriots territory, but Scobee missed a 46-yard field goal wide right. The Patriots made the Steelers pay, driving 64 yards in 9 plays, scoring on Brady's 6-yard touchdown pass to Gronkowski, increasing the lead to 14-0. The Steelers finally responded driving back to the 26, but this time Scobee was good from 44-yards away and the Patriots led 14-3 at halftime. The Patriots offense continued with their first half pace, producing a second half opening drive of nine plays, 80-yards, finishing with Brady throwing a 1-yard touchdown pass to new acquisition, tight end Scott Chandler, widening the Patriots lead to 21-3. The Steelers countered with a 80-yard, 7 play drive, with Will Johnson scoring on a 1-yard touchdown run, and Ben Roethlisberger converting the two-point conversion on a pass to Markus Wheaton, trimming the deficit to 21-11. After a Patriots three-and-out, the Steelers marched 67 yards to the Patriots 1-yard line, but a penalty pushed them back to the 5 and DeAngelo Williams was stuffed for a loss bringing up 4th-down and Scobee converted the 24-yard field goal to make the score 21-14. The Patriots countered, aided by a 52-yard catch by Gronkowski, marching 79 yards in 7 plays, scoring on a 1-yard touchdown catch by Gronkowski, extending the lead the 28-14. Three possessions later, Roethlisberger was intercepted at the Patriots 7. After a Patriots punt, the Steelers raced 70 yards in 12 plays, scoring on an 11-yard touchdown pass to Antonio Brown with just :02 seconds left, trimming the deficit to 28-21. Gronkowski ended his superb night by falling on the subsequent Steelers onside kick attempt, ending the game.

It seems like the opposite of what you'd expect, but my cancer diagnosis -- a staggering Stage IV colon cancer diagnosis, delivered to me at the age of 28 -- gave me a new lease on life. It has changed me, and enriched my life, in ways that I never could have imagined. Even in the moment I learned of my diagnosis, and the grim prognosis that followed, I wasn't afraid. I wasn't sad. I didn't feel sorry for myself, and I wasn't angry. I was ready. I was ready to fight this disease head-on and show myself -- and everyone else -- what I was made of. I believed that my will to survive, to thrive, to love and laugh and enjoy my life -- would carry me through any physical challenge. And it has. Forty-six rounds of chemo (and counting), three surgeries, 10 rounds of radiation, and here I am. I am still fighting. And I will continue to fight until cancer gives up, because there's no way I will. My fighting and competitive spirit has served me well, but my ability to be open to learning has been equally valuable. Throughout my time battling cancer, I have learned so much about taking care of my body, mind, and spirit. Just months after my diagnosis, I made the jump to strict veganism. I drink green juice, not alcohol. I exercise daily. I manage stress levels and I make sure I always get enough sleep. I've done acupuncture, reiki and guided meditation. I take deep breaths. I smile and laugh and listen to great music and appreciate beautiful things. I soak in my life and I am constantly grateful. Becoming sick was the way I learned how to be well. 'On Looking': The world you're not seeing. By far, the best part of my cancer-killing adventures has been becoming a part of a community of cancer warriors and their loved ones. My fellow patients are more than just friends. They are my brothers and sisters in this fight. When they do well through treatment, I celebrate with them. And when they struggle -- or die -- I am just as upset about it as if they were a part of my family. That's because they are. My best friend in the cancer world, a fellow warrior and a phenomenal woman named Annette, passed away at the end of last year. Losing her has been one of the most difficult things I've ever had to endure. But her fighting and undefeatable spirit, and my desire to honor her, have helped fuel the fire in my belly. It has helped me push forward with my mission: My mission for the cure. It's called The Wunder Project. A simple but revolutionary initiative that sees every penny donated going to cutting-edge research that I hope will get us to the cure for colon cancer in under 10 years. It sounds crazy, right? The cure. But this is real. And I'm betting my life on it. Several months ago, I asked my doctor -- a world-renowned oncologist and researcher at USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center named Heinz-Josef Lenz -- a series of simple questions. If you had all the money in the world, could you cure colon cancer? Do you know what steps to take to cure the disease? Is money the only thing standing in the way of the cure? The answer to all of those questions was an emphatic yes. Lenz and his dream team -- scientists and researchers from the United States and abroad -- are sure that they can find the cure for colon cancer if they have the funds to do the necessary large-scale research and drug development that the team has long been known for. KISS frontman: I'm deaf in one ear. It's my job, and my mission, to lead the movement to raise those funds so they can do their work. It's my job to start something unprecedented, a global uprising against cancer, focused solely on supporting the groundbreaking research necessary to change the face of cancer forever -- for all of us. The goal of The Wunder Project is to raise $250 million in two years. Through that funding, we hope to have the cure in under 10 years. It sounds like an impossible goal -- to find the cure for cancer -- but it is possible. It is within our grasp. And I will make sure that we seize this opportunity. For Annette, for myself, and for my fellow cancer warriors. From the moment I was diagnosed, I knew it wasn't the end of the line for me. I think that I always knew, deep down, that it was the end of the line for cancer. And through The Wunder Project, I know it will be.

A jihadist Twitter account said. the leader of the al Qaeda-linked Khorasan group was killed in a. U.S. air strike in Syria, SITE monitoring service said on Sunday. after several days of uncertainty over whether he survived the. raid. A U.S. official said on Sept. 24 the United States believed. Mohsin al-Fadhli, a senior al Qaeda operative, had been killed. in a strike a day earlier, but the Pentagon said several hours. later it was still investigating what had happened to him. In a tweet posted on Sept. 27, a jihadist offered. condolences for the death of Kuwaiti-born Fadhli, otherwise. known as Abu Asmaa al-Kuwati or Abu Asmaa al-Jazrawi, said SITE,. a U.S.-based organisation that monitors militant groups online. Army Lt. Gen. William Mayville, Jr., Director of Operations J3, speaks about the operations in Syria where jihadists claim a senior al Qaeda member was killed. In Washington, Tony Blinken, deputy White House national. security adviser, said U.S. officials could not yet confirm the. death. 'We want to make sure that he's not trying to, in effect,. fake his death and go underground,' Blinken said on 'Fox News. Sunday.' 'But there are serious indicators he was removed.' U.S. officials have described Khorasan as a network of. seasoned al Qaeda fighters with battlefield experience mostly in. Pakistan and Afghanistan that is now working in league with al. Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, the Nusra Front. Khorasan is a term for an area including parts of Pakistan. and Afghanistan where al Qaeda's main council is believed to be. in hiding. After the Sept. 23 strikes, U.S. officials said they were. still assessing how badly Khorasan had been hit. Islamist. militants on social media have said there were unconfirmed. reports that the 33-year-old Fadhli had been killed. Female supporters of the Al Nusra Front take part in a protest against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and the international coalition in Aleppo. SITE did not name the jihadist who reported Fadhli's death. but said he had trained under a close associate of al Qaeda. leader Ayman al-Zawahri and had fought in Khorasan before. travelling to Syria. A 2012 State Department notice offering a $7 million reward. for information on Fadhli's whereabouts said he was an al Qaeda. financier close to founder Osama bin Laden and among the few who. knew in advance about the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.

Write an article based on this "An 83-year-old gunned down his partner and her daughter in a "dreadful display of violence" that left a "scene of carnage" at his farm, a court heard."
Article: | John Lowe shot Christine Lee, 66, and Lucy, 40, at Keepers Cottage Stud dog breeding farm near Farnham, Surrey, in February, Guildford Crown Court heard.
During a 999 call Lucy Lee said: "I don't know if I'm going to be alive if I go back in there. He shot my mum."
Mr Lowe, a dog breeder, denies two counts of murder and a firearms charge.
Mark Dennis QC, prosecuting, told the jury that during a "desperate" call, Ms Lee said she believed she was about to be killed by Mr Lowe.
He said: "The female caller was in a frightened and frantic state, saying that a man called John Lowe had just shot her mother and that she was herself running for her life.
"Moments later, showing extraordinary courage, the caller indicated that she had made the decision to go back to the scene of the incident, saying as she ran: 'I'm gonna go back for him but I'll die', followed by 'I'm nearly outside the house and I fear he's going to shoot me'.
"Her last words to the operator were: 'I don't know if I'm going to be alive if I go back in there. He shot my mum. Bye'."
Christine Lee's body was found inside the main building at the farm, while the body of Lucy Lee was discovered outside, near the animal pens.
When police officers arrived they were met with a "scene of carnage", according to Mr Dennis.
He added: "Upon arrest he [Mr Lowe] made no apology for shooting the two women."
Post-mortem results indicated Christine Lee had been shot in the chest from less than a foot away and Lucy Lee received a fatal shot to the back of the head.
Mr Lowe, who allegedly intended to "put down" four dogs that morning, claims his shotgun went off and accidently hit Christine Lee at point blank range after an argument.
He had a "love-hate relationship" with the women and felt they were trying to control his affairs, according to Mr Dennis.
In police interviews Mr Lowe also claimed he tried to kill himself after the shootings but his guns failed to go off.

While the original Xbox sold poorly in Japan, selling just 2 million units while it was on the market (between 2002 and 2005),[citation needed] the Xbox 360 sold even more poorly, selling only 1.5 million units from 2005 to 2011. Edge magazine reported in August 2011 that initially lackluster and subsequently falling sales in Japan, where Microsoft had been unable to make serious inroads into the dominance of domestic rivals Sony and Nintendo, had led to retailers scaling down and in some cases discontinuing sales of the Xbox 360 completely.

National Geographic Channel's new film "Killing Lincoln" explores a key part of the 16th president's story that Steven Spielberg's big screen hit largely passed over. Based on Fox News host Bill O'Reilly's bestselling book, Killing Lincoln chronicles the final days of President Lincoln (Billy Campbell) and the plot by his assassin John Wilkes Booth (Jesse Johnson). Below is the first trailer for the movie, which debuts next month. "Killing Lincoln" spends time portraying both men as it builds toward, as narrator Tom Hanks puts it, "the most resonant crime in the history of the nation," and then chronicles the extensive manhunt to bring Booth to justice. The show's auspices are quite impressive. In addition to Hanks, Killing Lincoln is produced by Ridley and Tony Scott (the latter having joined the production before his death last year) and is directed by Adrian Moat (Gettysburg). "This is really the Lincoln story you've never seen before," Ridley Scott says. "Killing Lincoln" marks Nat Geo's first scripted drama. Here's the debut preview. There's a couple brief interview snippets with the actors and producers, but the home stretch of the two-minute video is a theatrical-style trailer. Below, some previously released quotes from Johnson and Campbell about their performances:. "The prevailing image of Booth is one of a two-dimensional, mustache-twirling villain," Johnson says. "My job was to dig deeper. Show that he was as complex as a Shakespearean character he portrayed on the stage. Demonstrate the artistry, obsession and Southern rigor as well as the virulent disdain for an 'inferior' president that culminated into his own bloody, one-act play." Adds Campbell: "Lincoln is so adored, so universally revered today that it's easy to forget he was a controversial president — one with many enemies — in fact he repeatedly dreamt of his own assassination. We felt it important to convey this hidden side of Lincoln, this sense of his almost wasting away with premonitions of death, even as he was outwardly so poised and steadfast through the closing of the war."

Marie Antoinette Singleton contradicts the international potrayal of Gbabgo. She describes a loving, affable man who stood up for the good of his country. She has hired a legal team to look into whether his arrest was illegal. She is adamant about clearing her family's name.
Write an article based on these highlights. | She was named after her mother's friend and not the doomed French queen, though at this moment in Ivory Coast's history, some might think it unfortunate. But Marie Antoinette Singleton doesn't care what people think of her -- it's her parents' names that she wants to clear. Singleton, 37, watched as images of the capture of Laurent Gbagbo and his wife, Simone, flashed across her television screen Monday. It was difficult for her to see her stepfather and mother appear weak, haggard and, as she says, bearing signs of abuse. "It's disrespectful and humiliating," she said in a phone interview from her home in Washington, D.C., where she worked in the Ivory Coast embassy until February. She wasn't going to serve a rebel government, she said as defiantly as her stepfather had declared his intention to remain in office. So she stopped going to work. Gbagbo insisted he won Ivory Coast's disputed November presidential election. The international community, however, did not see it that way. The United Nations, the United States, France and other global powers threw their support behind Alassane Ouattara, a man who Singleton said has haunted her family for many years. A four-month political standoff turned bloody and this week, everything ended for Gbagbo when forces stormed his residence and detained him, Simone and several of his children. The grandeur that had graced the West African nation's first couple quickly faded as Ouattara's security forces took them away -- a tired, feeble man seen on television in a white undershirt and a wife in a sundress and disheveled braids. Singleton was sure her father had been beaten. "This is tragic -- not just for my family but for the people of Cote D'Ivoire," Singleton said. All her life, she had known parents who she viewed as determined to pull their nation up from the remnants of a brutal colonial history. All her life, she had known parents who gave their time for building a multi-party system. The well-educated Gbagbo -- he earned a Ph.D in history -- stood up to Ivory Coast's first president, Felix Houphouet-Boigny, known as the father of the nation. Gbagbo despised Houphouet-Boigny's strong alliance with France, the former colonial power. Singleton recalled a campus protest in the early 1990s in which her stepfather and mother were arrested. Ouattara was then Houphouet-Boigny's prime minister. "It has not been easy to be in opposition," Singleton said. "They have been doing it almost all their lives. "So this is nothing new," she said of this week's events. Ouattara, she said, remains a puppet for the colonialists and international players who want to profit off her nation. Gbagbo, she said, paid the price for standing his ground. "When an African leader comes and says, 'I want to serve my people,' they don't want to hear that," she said. "So from the start they wanted to get President Gbagbo out of office." Singleton has not been back home to Ivory Coast in two years. But she had been calling her parents as they hid in the basement of their residence. She worried about their safety, but they said they were fine. "It made me proud they are not quitters. They are true to the vision for Cote D'Ivoire ... for independence. Because we are not independent." But on Monday, the phone calls stopped going through. She imagined her parents' phones had been confiscated, cut off even, because she kept hearing a message from the phone company. She said she has had no word of her family since their capture. There are many who believe Gbagbo should stand trial for allegations of human rights violations. He may even face investigation by the International Criminal Court in The Hague, Netherlands. So on Wednesday, Singleton assembled a legal team that includes Jacques Verges, who defended Nazi Klaus Barbie and once offered his services to Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. Singleton has asked the lawyers to look into the arrest of her family and the legality of the French army's intervention. She is hopeful the world will eventually see him the way she does. The world has called Gbagbo a monster. Singleton described him as affable, a man who likes to tell jokes all the time. The world has portrayed Gbagbo as power-hungry. Singleton said he was modest and humble and loved for those virtues. She thought this week of her childhood and how her parents used to insist their children have lunch with them every day. At night, her parents dabbled in politics. But the midday meal gave them time to delve into the loves and tribulations of their children. "They would not start lunch until we came back home," Singleton said. If she was out at a friend's house, her father sent someone to fetch her. And, if there was no rice at the table, there was no meal, she said. He also loved sardines. She told these stories of her father to explain that her father is the opposite of what he has been made out to be. Really, she said, he is not complicated. She quoted the Bible when she said no weapons formed against her parents shall prosper. The Lord, she said, will take care of her stepfather. | 9 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

Energy often changes from one form to another. For example, the drummer transfers motion to sound energy. When the moving drumstick strikes the drum head, the drum starts to vibrate. The motion of the vibrating drum head creates the sound you hear. Any form of energy can change into any other form. Frequently, one form of energy changes into two or more different forms. Have you ever sat in front of a campfire? What are two things you notice? The fire creates light. It is also warm by the fire, meaning it creates heat. The energy of the fire comes from the stored energy in the wood. The wood contains chemical energy. As it burns, the chemical energy is changed into light and heat. Not all chemical energy changes produce light and heat. Our cars use gasoline as a fuel. Gasoline contains chemical energy. When our cars burn gasoline in their engines, it is converted into motion and heat. When energy changes forms, energy is conserved.

Use the following highlights to write an article:
Steve Beer was on TV this week telling of his benefits-funded wedding. He has been married six times and now says he's too fat to work. Previous wives now claim they 'don't know why they married him' Used fifth wife's credit card to pay for B&B trysts with now-wife. Two of his children say he 'failed to step up' and look after them. He tried to buy Weymouth FC in 2011 but pulled out after getting 'cold feet' The 31 stone 45-year-old has also twice appeared on Jeremy Kyle. Mr Beer, who used to work, has blamed the government for his situation.
Article: | The 31-stone man claiming he is 'too fat to work' would use his ex-wife's credit card to pay for hotel rooms where he would meet his mistresses, it has been revealed. Steve Beer's jaw-dropping boasting of how the £1,700-a-week benefits he and sixth wife, Michelle, receive paid for their wedding, was just the tip of the iceberg. Today, the 45-year-old's fifth wife has told how she would wash and care for the morbidly obese benefits-claimant, only for him to cheat on her using her money to pay for stays in B&Bs. The family of Stephen Beer - who appeared with latest wife Michelle Coombe on a Channel 5 documentary earlier this week - have revealed the emotional trail of destruction he has left behind him. Mr Beer cheated on his fifth wive Lynn Kirby, pictured with Mr Beer on Jeremy Kyle in 2011 and was discovered when she found that he has used her credit card to pay for B&B trysts with now-wife Michelle. Mr Beer, from Plymouth, Devon, married his fifth wife Lynn Kirby in 2002, and it was she who cared for him, washed his huge body and helped him to the toilet before he got his £8,000-a-year carer. The pair were together for ten years but split after Ms Kirby discovered that he was cheating on her with his current wife, Michelle, 43, when she checked her credit card bills. 'He would go to B&Bs and spend 60 quid on my card to pay for it,' she told The Mirror. 'I had to help him get on the toilet and wash his legs three times a day. All the time he was having and affair. 'He wasn't just cheating on me with Michelle, he was cheating on me with two other women as well and he will to the same to her.' Mr Beer, pictured with latest wife Michelle, has been slammed by his second wife, Alison Symons, and her children for his treatment of them. Host Jeremy Kyle looks on in despair as Mr Beer explains his actions to wife No.5, Lynn Kirby, left, and then-mistress-now-wife No. 6, Michelle, right. Love rat: Steve Beer, 45, has been revealed as a serial cheater who is accused of being unfaithful to his third, fourth and fifth wife. Despite running his own contract-cleaning business until he suffered a stroke in 2008, Ms Kirby claims Mr Beer lived off her wages throughout their relationship and left her bankrupt and £15,000 in debt. 'He never brought any money into the home, he even used to call into places where I was cleaning and take my wage,' Ms Kirby told The Express. 'All he would do was sit in front of the TV and demand I fetch food and beer for him. He treated me as a servant.' It is believed Mr Beer has made two emotionally-charged appearances on the Jeremy Kyle show. The first was in 2011, when he made an appearance with Lynn and Michelle, in a segment entitled: 'I'm your husband's mistress and I'll prove I'm not cheating on him.' He reportedly admitted he failed a lie detector test regarding his affair and at times shouted at host Jeremy Kyle, repeating that 'we all make mistakes'. Mr Beer has had a long history of being unfaithful to his partners, marrying more than a handful of times since the 80s. He married his second wife, Alison Symons, in 1989, having split from first partner, Eileen Mitchell. But he and Ms Symons separated three years later, leaving her with their two children, Sarah and Matty, who were then both less than two years old. The 31-stone lothario then married a woman named Margaret, but this did not stop him from going after another woman, Fiona Burt. Mr Beer, pictured during one of his two appearances on the Jeremy Kyle show in 2011. He was filmed by the makers of Benefits: Too Fat To Work, a Channel 5 documentary about benefit claimants who claim their weight prevents them from working, which was aired earlier this week. Ms Burt, 46, who later became his common-law wife, says Mr Beer had claimed he was single when they 'met' on a phone dating chatroom in 1999, but was in fact still married and living with Margaret in Newcastle. Mr Beer's son, Matty Symons. said he and his biological father appeared on the show last year, when a paternity test proved he was his father. But, his son said, 'he still didn't want anything to do with me'. Both Matty and his sister Sarah, who are now in their twenties, this week told The Sun they are 'ashamed' of their biological father's benefits-funded lifestyle and treat their mother's new partner, Steve Symons, as their real father. In March 2009, Mr Beer, who then ran a contract cleaning firm, was involved in a botched bid to take over non-league Weymouth FC. He had hoped to save the then-financially embattled south coast club, but pulled out of a planned deal at the last minute after getting 'cold feet' and suffering a minor stroke. The club's director Ian Winsor said at the time: 'Mr Beer clearly got cold feet. He did have a bit of money and being a major football fan he thought he could help the club. 'However, he has spent too long in Weymouth and, through speaking to people, heard so much bitterness he got scared.' Mr Beer can't stand up for more than a few minutes at a time and relies on a council carer to get washed. Producers followed them as they organised the ceremony - including canapes and a buffet provided by their favourite kebab shop. Despite being jobless and on a weight management course, the couple can be seen treating themselves to kebabs after they went to a weigh in and realised they had lost a few pounds. The takeaway cost almost £12. One of the club's players later commented that a meeting with Mr Beer seemed to be the first time the 'prospective owner' had eaten in a restaurant, as he asked for explanations of dishes on the menu. At one pointed in the doomed deal, Mr Beer reportedly produced a cheque for £300,000 that contained spelling mistakes and had Tipp-Ex marks on it. The revelations came after Mr Beer, 45, caused outrage this week when he appeared on Channel 5 documentary Benefits: Too Fat To Work, in which he told of his £3,000 taxpayer-funded wedding to Michelle, 43. The couple's big day – which saw £1,000 spent on catering, including £450 for their favourite kebab takeaway for the evening buffet – was paid for almost entirely from benefits. Mr Beer, who weighs 31st, had to have a suit specially made for the occasion. By contrast his 23st wife became a bride for the first time and wore a white gown for the register office ceremony and church blessing that followed. Their 50 guests were treated to a three-course meal at the reception, followed later by the buffet. Viewers were shown how paramedics were called to the reception in Plymouth, Devon, before Mr Beer was taken to hospital feeling unwell. Mr Beer, who suffers from type 2 diabetes, hypertension and other problems linked to his weight, had a blood clot on the lung and instead of a honeymoon he spent nine days in hospital. He can only stand for a limited period before becoming breathless and his wife said the wedding day trip to hospital was no surprise. Mrs Beer, who has not had a job during her adult life, said: 'I reckon Stephen will be on benefits for most of his life.' He also told host Phillip Schofield that he did not always eat kebabs, and that off camera he and his wife were eating 'healthy food' Mr Beer used to run a cleaning business and had to give up work six years ago following a stroke. Interviewed about his benefits on the documentary, he said: 'Is it right? Of course not. But at the end of the day I did work. I have worked, I haven't sat on my a*** all the time. I have done some work and so really, why not?' The couple receive around £1,700 a month in benefits. The rent on their one-bedroom flat is paid for by the taxpayer, and a carer comes twice daily to clean and help Mr Beer dress, but the taxpayer pays the £8,000-a-year cost. Mr Beer also uses a specially strengthened mobility scooter, provided at public expense. He insists he wants a job but says no one will give him work because of his weight. He blamed the Government for being too generous to those on benefits. Speaking on ITV's This Morning programme, Mr Beer said: 'The Government is making it easy for people like us. The Government is making it easy for people on benefits.' He said he didn't think he deserved anything, adding: 'I'm the one who put myself in this situation, no one else.' However, he insisted he was now suffering from 'prejudice'. He said he recently applied for an office job but claims he was turned down because he was too overweight. It is believed the couple are currently at a 'boot camp' to lose weight. | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |
