Plymouth
The first record of the existence of a settlement at Plymouth was in the Domesday Book in 1086 as Sudtone, Saxon for south farm, located at the present day Barbican. From Saxon times, it was in the hundred of Roborough. In 1254 it gained status as a town and in 1439, became the first town in England to be granted a Charter by Parliament. Between 1439 and 1934, Plymouth had a Mayor. In 1914 the county boroughs of Plymouth and Devonport, and the urban district of East Stonehouse merged to form a single county borough of Plymouth. Collectively they were referred to as "The Three Towns".

Article: Von Braun and his team were sent to the United States Army's White Sands Proving Ground, located in New Mexico, in 1945. They set about assembling the captured V2s and began a program of launching them and instructing American engineers in their operation. These tests led to the first rocket to take photos from outer space, and the first two-stage rocket, the WAC Corporal-V2 combination, in 1949. The German rocket team was moved from Fort Bliss to the Army's new Redstone Arsenal, located in Huntsville, Alabama, in 1950. From here, von Braun and his team would develop the Army's first operational medium-range ballistic missile, the Redstone rocket, that would, in slightly modified versions, launch both America's first satellite, and the first piloted Mercury space missions. It became the basis for both the Jupiter and Saturn family of rockets.

Context: With the 1335 Treaty of Trentschin and the 1348 Treaty of Namslau, most of the Silesian duchies were ruled by the Silesian Piast dukes under the feudal overlordship of the Bohemian kings, and thus became part of the Crown of Bohemia. In 1476 the Crossen district became part of the Margraviate of Brandenburg, when the widow of the Piast ruler, Barbara von Brandenburg, daughter of Elector Albert Achilles, inherited Crossen. In 1526 Silesia was acquired by Austria's Habsburg Monarchy after the death of King Louis II of Bohemia. Brandenburg contested the inheritance, citing a treaty made with Frederick II of Legnica, but Silesia largely remained under Habsburg control until 1742.

The Prime Minister of Thailand has caused outrage today by appearing to criticise the behaviour of two Britons brutally murdered on an idyllic island.
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ochas questioned whether 'beautiful bikini-wearing tourists' are safe in his country - remarks which are likely to infuriate the relatives of David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23.
As reported by Channel News Asia, in a live TV broadcast, the PM said about tourists: "They think our country is beautiful and is safe so they can do whatever they want, they can wear bikinis and walk everywhere."
He then added: "....can they be safe in bikinis... unless they are not beautiful?".
CLICK HERE FOR UPDATES OF THE POLICE INVESTIGATION
It follows previous comments Thailand's PM made in which he said "We have to look into the behaviour of the other party (Miss Witheridge and Mr Miller) too".
His remarks - which appear to blame the two young Brits for what happened to them - will no doubt infuriate their families.
Adam Gerrard / Daily Mirror Thai police search the shoreline near to the spot where Hannah Witheridge and David Miller were found dead
Miss Witheridge's local MP Brandon Lewis told the Daily Express: “I have not seen anything indicating any blame on the victims. I hope the focus will be on bringing whoever committed this barbaric crime to justice.”
The bodies of Mr Miller and Miss Witheridge were found early on Monday on a beach on Koh Tao, a southern island famous for coral reefs and diving.
The bodies have been sent to Bangkok for autopsy and preliminary results of the examination could be released later on Tuesday, a police adviser said.
The story of the murder would have "all sorts of consequences" for Thailand, said General Prayuth Chan-ocha.
"We have ordered police and soldiers to hunt down the suspects," Prayuth told reporters.
Thailand is still under martial law after the May 22 coup. That has kept away some visitors, as they are unable to buy travel insurance for destinations where martial law is in place.
The number of visitors to Thailand fell more than 10 percent in the first eight months of 2014 from a year ago to 15.7 million. ||||| Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha made the comments as the investigation into the death of two Britons intensifies.
David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, were killed earlier this week after they attended a beach party on the island of Koh Tao in the Gulf of Thailand.
Negative attention on the country – to which 800,000 Britons visit each year – appears to have left its leader attempting to offer explanations for why young travellers may run into trouble there.
Speaking in a live broadcast on Wednesday discussing tourist safety, he said: “There are always problems with tourist safety. They think our country is beautiful and is safe so they can do whatever they want, they can wear bikinis and walk everywhere,” according to the AFP news agency.
He added: “Can they be safe in bikinis... unless they are not beautiful?”
The Prime Minister has since apologised for his remarks, telling a press conference on Thursday: “I’m sorry that it hurt people.”
The comments, which drew widespread condemnation, also resulted in the British embassy contacting him for clarification.
David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23 No arrests have yet been made following the murder of Miller and Witheridge, whose bodies were found less than 100 metres from the location of where the gathering was being held on Sunday night.
A number of leads had been chased up, including the questioning of 11 Burmese migrants after Thai authorities said they found bloodstains on their clothes.
Police had also been quizzing two British brothers who were understood to have shared a room with Mr Miller in Thailand, however DNA tests carried out on the men have returned no matches.
An Asian man who was seen on CCTV running in the direction of where the bodies were later found was also being sought by officials.
Miller and Witheridge's bodies were taken to Bangkok and autopsies yesterday found that Witheridge died from head wounds while Miller suffered severe blows to the head and then drowned in the surf.
Forensic Police Chief Pornchai Suteerakun added that Miller also had wounds on his hand indicating that a struggle had taken place.
His comments drew censure from victim support charities such as Rape Crisis who said they were "hugely insensitive" and "completely inappropriate".
Spokeswoman for Rape Crisis England & Wales, Katie Russell, said: "The responsibility for rape and murder lies solely with rapists and murderers; to suggest that someone can invite such violence against themselves by how they dress fails to acknowledge this and undermines the seriousness of these terrible crimes.
"The implication that only 'beautiful' women can experience sexual violence also perpetuates the harmful myth that rape is about sexual desire and loss of control when precisely the opposite is true; rape is an act of violence that involves the abuse of power and control and has nothing to do with sexual attraction."
Mr Chan-ocha, who is also the army chief, had been giving his televised views to government officials, but gave a similar view on Tuesday when he said that the “behaviour” of Witheridge and Miller should also be investigated.
“We have to look into the behaviour of the other party too because this kind of incident should not happen to anybody and it has affected our image,” he told reporters. He said the media needs to “explain to foreigners that it is not always safe everywhere,” the Bangkok Post reported. “They think it's safe like where they are from, everywhere and at any time, but our country still has problems.”
These comments were rebuffed by Witheridge’s MP, Brandon Lewis, who told the Daily Mail: “I have not seen anything indicating that there should be any blame on the victims, and right now the investigation will hopefully be targeted on finding the perpetrator of the crime.
“I hope the focus will be on bringing whoever committed this barbaric crime to justice.”
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office has the following advice for tourists going to Thailand:
“Western tourists have been victims of vicious, unprovoked attacks by gangs in Koh Phangan [an island near to Koh Tao].
“These attacks are particularly common around the time of the Full Moon parties and generally occur late at night near bars in Haad Rin on Koh Phangan.
“Violent assaults and robberies have been reported in the Koh Samui archipelago. Attacks have also occurred in other tourist districts in Thailand including in Chiang Mai, Pattaya and Krabi. Take care, especially at night.”
Additional reporting by agencies ||||| BANGKOK (AP) — Police in Thailand said Wednesday that DNA samples from the bodies of two British tourists found bludgeoned on a resort island did not match any collected from 12 people who were among those in the area.

Police also conducted autopsies which showed that 23-year-old Hannah Witheridge died from head wounds while 24-year-old David Miller suffered severe blows to the head and drowned in the surf, said Maj. Gen. Pornchai Suteerakune, the country's forensics police chief.
Pornchai said Miller also had wounds on his hand, indicating a struggle had taken place.
The two Britons were found Monday morning in a rocky alcove along the shore close to the hotel where they both were staying on Koh Tao. A bloodied hoe was found near the bodies.
Authorities have made no arrests so far but are hoping to be able to match DNA samples.
However, assistant national police chief Gen. Jarumporn Suramanee said two sets of DNA that were found both on Witheridge's body and on a cigarette butt near the scene did not match samples taken from three foreigners and nine migrant workers in the area.
DNA traces from possible suspects could not be detected on Miller's body because it was smeared with his blood, Jarumporn said.
He said investigators believe there was more than one attacker and more than one murder weapon.
Koh Tao is a popular diving destination in the Gulf of Thailand, and the brutal deaths were a blow to the country's tourism industry, which has struggled in the wake of six months of political protests that culminated in a military coup in May.
More than 70 police officers have been deployed to the island to investigate the case. |||||

– Faced with the savage murder of two young British tourists on one of his country's most popular beaches, Thai PM Prayuth Chan-ocha elected to address the topic of tourist safety. Unfortunately, he wasn't entirely reassuring, reports the Independent: "There are always problems with tourist safety. They think our country is beautiful and is safe so they can do whatever they want, they can wear bikinis and walk everywhere." And then he got downright repugnant: "Can they be safe in bikinis ... unless they are not beautiful?" The implication that David Miller, 24, and Hannah Witheridge, 23, had no reasonable expectation of safety because they were attractive is not going over well, adds the Daily Mirror, which further quotes Chan-ocha as saying, "We have to look into the behavior of (the victims), too." Some 800,000 British tourists visit Thailand every year. Autopsies have shown that Witheridge suffered fatal head wounds, while Miller also suffered head wounds and defensive wounds, but drowned in the ocean, reports the AP. And while a bloody hoe was found nearby, police are now saying that they believe there was more than one murderer and more than one weapon. DNA matches have thus far proven elusive, though DNA on Witheridge's body did match a cigarette butt found on the beach. Cops are currently questioning a Brit and three Burmese migrants, notes the Independent.

For the first time during the season, the Panthers allowed a touchdown drive in the first quarter, and were down 16-6 at halftime to the 5-5 Miami Dolphins. However, Carolina came back in the second half and ultimately held the Dolphins scoreless. Trailing 13-16 with two minutes remaining, quarterback Cam Newton converted a fourth-and-10 from the Panthers' own 20 with a completion to wide receiver Steve Smith, and a touchdown pass to tight end Greg Olsen with 43 seconds left won the game for the Panthers, 20-16. Carolina extended their winning streak to seven (tying the franchise record), extended their record to 8-3 and also improved 7-18 when Newton turns the ball over.

Zürich or Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zürich. It is located in north-central Switzerland at the northwestern tip of Lake Zürich. The municipality has approximately 400,028 inhabitants, the urban agglomeration 1.315 million and the Zürich metropolitan area 1.83 million. Zürich is a hub for railways, roads, and air traffic. Both Zürich Airport and railway station are the largest and busiest in the country.
Permanently settled for about 2000 years, Zürich was founded by the Romans, who, in 15 BC, called it "". However, early settlements have been found dating back more than 6400 years ago. During the Middle Ages, Zürich gained the independent and privileged status of imperial immediacy and, in 1519, became a primary centre of the Protestant Reformation in Europe under the leadership of Huldrych Zwingli.
The official language of Zurich is German, but the main spoken language is the local variant of the Alemannic Swiss German dialect. Many museums and art galleries can be found in the city, including the Swiss National Museum and the Kunsthaus. Schauspielhaus Zürich is one of the most important theatres in the German-speaking world.
Zürich is a leading global city and among the world's largest financial centres despite having a relatively small population. The city is home to a large number of financial institutions and banking giants. Most of Switzerland's research and development centres are concentrated in Zürich and the low tax rates attract overseas companies to set up their headquarters there.

Write an article based on this "Richard's now a barrista at a big chain of coffee shops, but still remembers his time working on a zero-hours contract."
Article:
|
"At points, once rent was covered, I had £12.50 a week to live off," he says.
Richard's been telling Newsbeat what life was like not knowing how much money he would earn each month.
He spoke to us as the political parties argue over what to do about zero-hours contracts when the election is over.
"I spent 18 months or so on one [a zero-hours contract]. Working full time one week then as minimal as it gets the next," Richard says.
"It was tough," he says. "It was very difficult to budget for the future so it was very touch and go the majority of the time."
He tells us that "at points once rent was covered it was £12.50 a week to live off. And that didn't include electricity, food and other essentials".
"It was basically one of the big sacks of pasta and as many sauces as you can get."
He says he was "basically living like a vegetarian for six weeks at a time".
"You could get two weeks into a month and be working the full time hours," he explains.
"Then the next two weeks your hours could be slashed, so your wage is effectively halved form that point in."
Richard says finding a more stable job was difficult.
"When you're hungry and eating plain pasta, and your electricity meter has run out and so you're in the stone ages.
"You really don't feel like trying to impress someone else to give you an opportunity."
Labour say they would give employees the right to a regular contract after working regular hours somewhere for three months.
The Conservatives are saying the idea is a threat to jobs, and the Lib Dems say they would ban clauses in these types of contracts that stop people looking for other work.
Read more about all the different parties policies.
Now with a job with regular hours Richard says he's much happier.
"It's the security, I may not being earning much on the averages but it's enough to keep money in my pocket, food in cupboards and a roof over my head."
Some surveys suggest that people who are on zero-hours contracts are happier than people in full time work.
But Richard wasn't one of them.
"It's hard to look at the positives when you're hungry and in the dark."

Born Marilyn Ann Briggs in Providence, Rhode Island, Chambers was raised in Westport, Connecticut, in a middle-class household. It is often reported that she was born in Westport; however, in a 2007 interview Chambers confirmed she was born in Providence but grew up in Westport. Her father was in advertising and her mother was a nurse. She was the youngest of three children, including a brother, Martin Briggs (keyboardist for 1960s Boston band The Remains), and a sister, Jann Smith.
On February 1, 1985, while performing her nude act at the "Cine-Stage" within the Mitchell Brothers' O'Farrell Theatre in San Francisco, Chambers was arrested by a vice squad and charged with committing a lewd act in a public place and soliciting prostitution. It was alleged by plainclothes policemen who were in the audience that Chambers allowed audience members to touch her with their hands and mouths during her show called "Feel the Magic". She was released on $2,000 bail and the charges were later dropped. "I've never been arrested in my life for anything, ever, so this is kind of a big shock for me, not only as a performer but as a human being", Chambers said at the time. "It's a heartbreaker. This is supposed to be a hip city. I really love -- make that LOVED -- this city. These people have been my fans for years, and it's a thrill for them to touch me up close. There's nothing illegal if I'm not taking money." Chambers' attorney claimed that Chambers was used "as a pawn in a struggle over control and adult businesses." Chambers' arrest came three days before the Board of Supervisors were to vote on a proposed ordinance to eliminate police permits for adult bookstores and theaters. In the wake of her arrest, the Board stripped police of their power to license the city's adult theaters. "The O'Farrell was packed the day after we were arrested," Chambers said later. "And they put the mayor's phone number up on the marquee -- 'Call Mayor Dianne Feinstein'...I'm in jail with my fur coat and nothing else on, and [the police officers] want to take pictures. I took a mug shot with every cop in the place, and they're going, 'I'm really sorry we had to do this.' And the next night they were all back enjoying the show". Later that year on December 13 she was arrested during a performance at Stage Door Johnny's, a strip club in Cleveland. Police said she was nude except for her shoes and was having sexual contact with an audience member. She was charged with promoting prostitution and was held in jail until she was freed on a $1,000 bond. Chambers denied the charge, saying, "I did the same show I've been doing for the last six years. Police just happened to be in the audience." In November 2012 the mugshots from Chambers' Cleveland arrest sold on eBay for $202.50.

Scotland's political parties are continuing to put their key messages to voters ahead of the general election.
|
The SNP launched its youth manifesto at an event in Cumbernauld, while Labour insisted that a vote for the nationalists will "put Scotland on the road to a second referendum".
Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson focused on her party's "biggest ever doorstep campaign".
Deputy Lib Dem leader Sir Malcolm Bruce has been campaigning in the north east.
Scottish Labour leader Jim Murphy visited a school basketball court in Edinburgh and challenged Nicola Sturgeon to "come clean on her plans for a second referendum".
He said: "The priority for SNP MPs after this election won't be improving the economy, it will be planning the second referendum campaign.
"A vote for Scottish Labour will put Britain on the road to a fairer economy. With Scottish votes, Labour can get the Tories out of power, stop austerity, ban zero-hours contracts and end the need for food banks.
"Only Labour can stop the Tories being the largest party.
"The choice is simple - the road to a second referendum with the SNP or the road to a fairer economy with Labour."
Meanwhile Ms Sturgeon joined actor Martin Compston to commit her party to policies "to support and empower our young people".
The SNP youth manifesto states that 16 and 17-year-olds should be entitled to vote in all elections, as well as pledging to increase the minimum wage for under 18s by £1.20 an hour and create 30,000 modern apprenticeships each year.
The party said it would also continue to oppose the introduction of tuition fees for Scottish students at universities north of the border, and that its MPs would vote in favour of reducing tuition fees across the UK.
Ms Sturgeon said: "The biggest investment we can make in Scotland's future is in our young people - and as first minister I am determined to do everything I can to support and empower them.
"We are doing all we can to strengthen and grow our economy to provide more opportunities for young people close to home.
"In numbers at Westminster we go further - pushing for an increase in the minimum wage for under 18s by over £1.20 an hour to ensure more young people are better paid.
"A strong team of SNP MPs will stand up for the rights of young people at every turn and deliver the progressive action that is needed to support more of our young people into work, education or training."
Elsewhere on the campaign trail, Scottish Conservative leader Ms Davidson has been highlighting what she calls her party's "ground war".
She said: "This is the biggest doorstep campaign ever run by Tories in Scotland and the best planned, regimented, resourced and recruited campaign we've had since 1992."
Speaking on BBC Scotland's Sunday Politics Scotland programme, Ms Davidson also commented on the issue of a second independence referendum.
She said: "I've been saying since January that Ed Miliband and Nicola Sturgeon are half way down the aisle to a deal, what's this going to mean, is there going to be second referendum?
"And people in Scotland are genuinely worried about this. I have been doing street stalls all across the country and people have been walking up to me and saying they are genuinely scared about this."
For the Liberal Democrats, Sir Malcolm has been campaigning in Aberdeen.
He set out Lib Dem plans to build "a stronger, greener economy to create jobs and protect the environment". He said protecting the environment was "in Liberal Democrat DNA".
Scottish Lib Dem leader Willie Rennie also appeared on the BBC's Sunday Politics Scotland programme. He accused the Conservatives of stirring up English nationalism.
He said: "I think it is despicable what the Conservatives are doing in this campaign.
"I think they way they are trying to use Alex Salmond and the SNP to represent Scotland, to demonise Scotland, is festering English nationalism."

In this film we have the fabulous opportunity to see what happened to Timon and Pumbaa in the film when they are not shown - which is a lot! This film even goes back to before Simba and (presumbably) just after the birth of Kiara.
Quite true to the first film, "Lion King 1/2 (or Lion King 3 in other places)" is a funny, entertaining, exciting and surprising film (or sequel if that's what you want to call it). A bundle of surprises and hilarity await for you!
While Timon and Pumbaa are watching a film at the cinema (with a remote control), Timon and Pumbaa have an argument of what point of "The Lion King" they are going to start watching, as Timon wants to go to the part when he and Pumbaa come in and Pumbaa wants to go back to the beginning. They have a very fair compromise of watching the film of their own story, which is what awaits... It starts with Timon's first home...
For anyone with a good sense of humour who liked the first films of just about any age, enjoy "Lion King 1/2"! :-)

Meg Whitman is back in the spotlight.
Hewlett-Packard Co.'s board is expected Thursday to name the former eBay chief its next CEO, replacing Leo Apotheker, according to a person briefed on the matter.
H-P's board is expected to oust CEO Leo Apotheker and replace him with former eBay CEO Meg Whitman today. Colin Barr and Marcelo Prince discuss whether a new strategy and a new CEO can save H-P. (Photo: AP.)
Ms. Whitman—a Silicon Valley veteran who turned eBay Inc. from a quirky start-up into an online auction giant—remains an influential figure in the technology scene as an H-P director and an adviser to a leading venture-capital firm.
But the former eBay CEO also has little background in the hardware industry, never ran a company of H-P's size, made some missteps at eBay, and most recently drew attention for a failed bid to become governor of California.
In an interview Monday, Ms. Whitman, 55, described H-P as "a Silicon Valley icon that is in the process of reshaping itself." She acknowledged that the Palo Alto, Calif., company "has certainly had challenges" and that "time will tell" how it fares. But she added, "I'm optimistic about H-P's future."
Enlarge Image Close Bloomberg News H-P board member and former eBay CEO Meg Whitman, shown in August, is a candidate for H-P interim CEO.
Asked about Mr. Apotheker's recent decision to potentially spin off the company's personal-computer business, Ms. Whitman said, "There are tremendous strategic changes that are taking place in the PC business, and H-P wants to capitalize on those changes and make sure this operating division has the autonomy and the ability to respond to rapidly changing technology."
On Wednesday, a spokesman for Ms. Whitman referred a request for additional comment to H-P. H-P then declined to comment.
The re-emergence of Ms. Whitman—who has kept a relatively low profile since losing her gubernatorial bid to Democrat Jerry Brown last year—is likely to renew investors' focus on her track record at eBay.
Ms. Whitman joined eBay in 1998 after stints at Hasbro Inc., Florists Transworld Delivery and Stride Rite Corp. By the time she left the Internet company in March 2008, eBay's annual revenue was $7.7 billion, up from $86 million when she joined.
But concerns later mounted as eBay's once-torrid growth slowed amid competition from other e-commerce sites such as Amazon.com Inc. Ms. Whitman was also roundly criticized for eBay's 2005 purchase of Internet-calling firm Skype for $2.5 billion, for which it later took a $1.4 billion write-down. EBay has been viewed as a turnaround situation for the last few years under CEO John Donahoe.
A year after leaving eBay, Ms. Whitman announced she would run as a Republican for governor of California, which had struggled with deep deficits during Arnold Schwarzenegger's tenure. She won the Republican nomination, but despite spending a record amount on her campaign—$178.5 million, most of it out of her own pocket—she ultimately lost to Mr. Brown.
In March, Ms. Whitman became a part-time adviser at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers, a prominent Silicon Valley venture-capital firm.
In the Monday interview, Ms. Whitman also mused about the challenge for big companies of keeping up with increasingly rapid change.
"The bigger you get, the harder it is to be nimble," she said. "How do you grow big and stay small? That still is the fundamental question."

Write to Vauhini Vara at vauhini.vara@wsj.com ||||| Hewlett-Packard Co. (HPQ), facing investor frustration over sales-forecast cuts and jarring strategy shifts, is considering replacing Chief Executive Officer Leo Apotheker, two people familiar with the matter said.
The board may appoint Hewlett-Packard director and former EBay Inc. (EBAY) CEO Meg Whitman as Apotheker’s successor, possibly on an interim basis, said one of the people, who asked not to be named because the plans aren’t public. The board also is reconsidering a proposal to spin off the company’s personal- computer unit, another person said.
Hewlett-Packard has lowered its sales forecasts three times since Apotheker became CEO in November, and he’s presided over strategy swings that left shareholders doubting his credibility. Before today, the company’s stock has plunged 47 percent on his watch, and “investor exasperation” with management is at its highest in more than a decade, according to Toni Sacconaghi, an analyst at Sanford C. Bernstein & Co.
“There’s certainly a lot of investor discontent with them,” said Amit Daryanani, an analyst at RBC Capital Markets in San Francisco, who rates the shares “sector perform” and doesn’t own them. “There’s widespread frustration with the fact that numbers have been cut three times since he’s been there.”
Hewlett-Packard rose $1.51, or 6.7 percent, to $23.98 today on the New York Stock Exchange after Bloomberg reported the possible management change.
Revisiting the Spinoff
Hewlett-Packard’s board, due to meet this week, is open to re-examining the spinoff proposal now because some directors think the idea wasn’t studied as thoroughly as other high- profile spinoffs, such as one by Kraft Foods Inc. (KFT), the person familiar with the matter said. At the same time, the turmoil raises the possibility that some or all of Hewlett-Packard may become a takeover candidate.
Mylene Mangalindan, a spokeswoman for Palo Alto, California-based Hewlett-Packard, declined to comment.
The possible spinoff would take as long as 18 months to complete, Hewlett-Packard said at the time. That elicited criticism that it should have had a buyer lined up or a more concrete plan in place before making the announcement.
Whitman, who joined Hewlett-Packard’s board in January after a failed bid to become California’s governor last year, had a mixed record at EBay. CEO for a decade, she took the company public and pioneered e-commerce for small businesses. Yet in the final years of her tenure, she couldn’t halt a slowdown in sales growth and overpaid for Skype Technologies SA after a bidding war with Google Inc. and Yahoo! Inc.
Not Long-Term?
Her lack of experience in computing for large companies may mean she doesn’t stay in the role for long, said Jayson Noland, an analyst at Robert W. Baird & Co. in San Francisco.
“She’s on the board and is a logical interim CEO, but not a logical long-term CEO,” said Noland, who has a “neutral” rating on the stock. “She doesn’t have enterprise experience.”
Pressure on Apotheker intensified on Aug. 18, when he announced a sweeping overhaul that included a $10.3 billion acquisition of Autonomy Corp. and the possible PC spinoff. He also killed off the company’s WebOS tablets and smartphones, just five months after vowing to put the operating system on a full range of the company’s computers.
The shares plunged 20 percent following the announcement, fueled by concerns that Autonomy was too expensive and the plans showed a lack of deliberation. The stock slumped to the point that other breakup and takeover scenarios are possible, Hewlett- Packard investor Michael Mullaney said at the time.
‘Scoop It Up’
“For the right company, it probably would make sense for someone to come in and scoop it up,” Mullaney, who helps manage $9.5 billion at Fiduciary Trust in Boston, said in August. “Someone could come and at least buy pieces of the firm.”
The server unit would boost Oracle Corp.’s share fivefold and help it become the biggest maker of the hardware. Hewlett- Packard’s printer business, which is 70 percent more profitable than the company as a whole, may also attract private-equity firms, Mullaney said.
While the PC spinoff would help Hewlett-Packard focus on higher-margin products, such as services and software, the way it was conveyed didn’t satisfy shareholders, Sacconaghi said. The Autonomy deal, meanwhile, hasn’t been popular, he said.
“Our conversations with investors continue to point to near universal opposition of the Autonomy acquisition, due to its high price,” he wrote in a Sept. 13 report.
Undoing Autonomy
By paying cash for Autonomy, Hewlett-Packard doesn’t need approval from its own shareholders to complete the deal, Sacconaghi said.
The company can’t undo the takeover unless Autonomy investors fail to approve it, according to a person with knowledge of the terms. That outcome is unlikely, given that 42 percent of Autonomy shares had already been tendered in favor of the sale as of Sept. 12, this person said.
Apotheker, the former CEO of German software maker SAP AG (SAP), has aimed to transform Hewlett-Packard into a provider of more profitable software and services for businesses that are doing more computing on remote servers, via the so-called cloud. Yet, results have been plagued by tepid demand for PCs, as consumers in growing numbers snapped up competing mobile devices and tablets, such as Apple Inc.’s iPad.
Short Stint
His tenure at Hewlett-Packard may barely outlast his 10- month stint as CEO of SAP. He resigned in February 2010 after an attempted price increase during the recession that rankled consumers and a clash with German unions on plans to cut jobs. He presided over the company’s first revenue decline since 2003 as customers delayed software purchases.
Apotheker joined Hewlett-Packard after Mark Hurd departed as CEO amid a scandal over a personal relationship with a company contractor. Hurd now is a co-president at Oracle.
Hewlett-Packard isn’t looking to completely change course, said Baird’s Noland. The company’s board and shareholders are mostly looking for a surer hand, he said.
“The board is directionally behind the plan Apotheker’s put in place,” Noland said. “It’s just the execution of that plan that has investors wound up.”

– Meg Whitman may have lost out on her bid to be governor of California, but she might soon be back in a high-profile business post, reports Bloomberg. It quotes anonymous sources who say Hewlett-Packard's board may fire CEO Leo Apotheker and replace him with Whitman on an interim basis. Also in the rumor mill: The board may not spin off the company's PC business after all, with some directors saying the move hasn't been studied thoroughly enough. The Wall Street Journal confirms the Whitman rumor but isn't sure the former eBay exec is interested, even on a temporary basis, because of her lack of expertise in the computer field. At MarketWatch, Therese Poletti thinks Whitman would be a horrible fit. "H-P does not need a former management consultant as its next CEO," she writes. "H-P needs someone with serious technology savvy who can also inspire its workers and lead the company out of its current morass."

Answer based on context:
Following the death of General Advisor in Foreign Affairs Gustave Rolin-Jaequemyns in 1902, Phya Suriyanuwat, the Siamese Minister in Paris, was instructed to find a replacement. Phya Suriya was unable to find a suitable candidate in Europe, and notified Phya Akaraj Varathon, the Siamese Minister in Washington, that under the circumstances, he had decided to engage an American. In 1903, former US diplomat Edward Henry Strobel took a leave of absence from his position as the Bemis Professor of International Law at Harvard School of Law to represent the Kingdom of Siam in The Hague at the International Peace Court—which Rolin-Jaequemyns had been instrumental in founding. In 1906, Strobel moved to Bangkok to take the position of general advisor, where he died January 15, 1908. Among his successors were Jens Westengard, 1909-14, Wolcott Pitkin, 1915-17, Eldon James, and Francis B. Sayre—all but for Pitkin former Harvard law professors. "The Siamese government trusted the American Adviser in Foreign Affairs to act in the best interests of Siam. Authority and responsibility were delegated to him. He was permitted a considerable degree of freedom in his work. It was in his capacity as a lawyer, a jurist, an advocate, and a policy counselor that the American adviser contributed significantly to the successful conclusion of the treaty negotiations with the West." An agreement on relations between the two countries was signed in Washington D.C. on December 16, 1920.

The number of Syrian refugees in Lebanon has passed 1 million, the United Nations' refugee agency said Thursday, making up almost a quarter of the country's resident population. "The influx of a million refugees would be massive in any country. For Lebanon, a small nation beset by internal difficulties, the impact is staggering," U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres said in a statement. Their numbers have made Lebanon the country with the highest per capita concentration of refugees in the world, the agency said. The total number of registered Syrian refugees in all countries is 2.58 million, according to the United Nations. Other nations with large populations of Syrian refugees include Jordan and Turkey.
The United Nations has said that more than 100,000 people, many of them civilians, have been killed in

By. Daily Mail Reporter. PUBLISHED:. 19:44 EST, 10 October 2012. |. UPDATED:. 05:29 EST, 11 October 2012. A Florida woman said she was humiliated by local police as she accused them of hogtying her, parading her around topless and bashing some of her teeth out during her arrest last year. Ashleigh Davis, of Ocala, Florida, said she found herself on the wrong side of the law in April of last year at the Leesburg Bikefest after she and another woman were having an argument. When police asked her to leave, she reportedly refused, and was bound by her hands and feet by officers from the Leesburg Police Department and Lake County Sheriff’s Office. Humiliation: Ashleigh Davis can be seen laying topless in the middle of a holding cell, surrounded by several male officers. Damage: Davis said her teeth were cracked after one of the officers slammed her head into the floor. Speaking out: Davis says she deserved to be arrested, but not the brutality she claims to have suffered. The 32-year-old said that while she was being detained, her bikini top fell off, and officers whisked her away topless in front of onlookers. Davis told the Palm Beach Post: '[Officers] handcuffed my hands to my feet and then took a tie and tied it around, then carried me like a suitcase and threw me on the back of a golf cart.' Busted: Davis was given a green sweater for her booking photo. She told the paper that she suffered further shame at the Leesburg Police Department, as she laid nearly naked on the floor of the police station holding cell while a group of officers laughed at her. Davis said that the abuse didn’t stop there, as one of them allegedly smacked her face against the floor and chipped some of her teeth after she had bitten him. She told the Post: 'I just remember him grabbing me from behind, my hair and [covered my mouth] and then I try to bite, and then they grabbed me by the back of my head and slammed my face down.' She admits that she probably deserved to be arrested, but that the officers she dealt with were way over the line. Davis was charged with two counts of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and disorderly intoxication, and is serving probation in the case. She claimed that she had filed a complaint against the officer, days after her arrest. Her attorney, Stan Plappert, told WESH.com: 'I think they should have sensitivity training. You would think that they would know that, "hey, I have a topless woman or a nearly naked person. I need to do something to cover them up, to give them some dignity."' Davis added: 'I don't want this to happen again. I want people to be treated the way we’re supposed to be treated, and yes, I'm paying for what I did, and I want them to pay for what has happened to me.' Embarrassment: A surveillance video from the Leesburg Police Department shows Davis - who was topless - curled up on the floor. Bust: Davis was charged with two counts of aggravated battery on a law enforcement officer, resisting arrest with violence and disorderly intoxication, and is serving probation in the case.

Read this and answer the question. If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable".
Wound colonization refers to nonreplicating microorganisms within the wound, while in infected wounds, replicating organisms exist and tissue is injured. All multicellular organisms are colonized to some degree by extrinsic organisms, and the vast majority of these exist in either a mutualistic or commensal relationship with the host. An example of the former is the anaerobic bacteria species, which colonizes the mammalian colon, and an example of the latter is various species of staphylococcus that exist on human skin. Neither of these colonizations are considered infections. The difference between an infection and a colonization is often only a matter of circumstance. Non-pathogenic organisms can become pathogenic given specific conditions, and even the most virulent organism requires certain circumstances to cause a compromising infection. Some colonizing bacteria, such as Corynebacteria sp. and viridans streptococci, prevent the adhesion and colonization of pathogenic bacteria and thus have a symbiotic relationship with the host, preventing infection and speeding wound healing.

The Chargers continued to dominate with FB Mike Tolbert getting a 1-yard TD run, followed by Rivers connecting to Jackson on a 48-yard TD pass, then with Kaeding hitting a 39-yard field goal. The 49ers made their only score of the game with RB Brian Westbrook getting a 1-yard TD run. This game was also a blowout and San Diego improved to 8-6.

There are many approaches available in software testing. Reviews, walkthroughs, or inspections are referred to as static testing, whereas actually executing programmed code with a given set of test cases is referred to as dynamic testing. Static testing is often implicit, as proofreading, plus when programming tools/text editors check source code structure or compilers (pre-compilers) check syntax and data flow as static program analysis. Dynamic testing takes place when the program itself is run. Dynamic testing may begin before the program is 100% complete in order to test particular sections of code and are applied to discrete functions or modules. Typical techniques for this are either using stubs/drivers or execution from a debugger environment.

Summarize the following:
The average sand flea can range in size from a speck of salt to a grain of rice. In fact, sand fleas often look like sand particles themselves, which is how they’re able to attach to their hosts without being noticed. While it is possible to spot sand fleas with the naked eye, you’ll usually have to look quite closely. Sand fleas most often attach to feet and legs since they’re closest to the ground. If you notice something crawling or jumping anywhere on your body, you can be sure it’s not just dirt. Sand fleas bite their hosts in order to feed and embed their eggs. Their bites leave behind round, red spots that may burn or itch intensely. The bite of a sand flea can be extremely uncomfortable and will almost always cause irritation, especially when rubbed or scratched. A small black head or white pustule at the center of a bite may be an indication that a sand flea has burrowed into the skin and laid eggs. Resist the urge to scratch itchy sand flea bites. While this may provide temporary relief, it increase the risk of spreading infected saliva or egg deposits beneath the skin. Medications like Benadryl and Neosporin can help alleviate the burning and itching brought about by sand flea bites. It may also be useful to swab the bite with rubbing alcohol, as this will dry out the wound and prevent it from becoming infected. Most sand flea bites will clear up within a week or two and won’t cause any lasting health effects. Essential oils like lavender, eucalyptus and tea tree can also offer drying action and relief from itching. If you notice a sand flea bite beginning to swell or grow more painful, visit a doctor right away.
Summary:
|
Learn to identify sand fleas. Scan yourself for bites. Apply a topical antihistamine.

By. Rob Cooper. PUBLISHED:. 03:53 EST, 23 July 2013. |. UPDATED:. 11:25 EST, 23 July 2013. From a tacky knitted baby through to a Harrods mug and a prince's potty chair, these are the bizarre souvenirs retailers are trying to flog on the back of the royal birth. A bewildering array of memorabilia will flood into stores over the next few days as shops try and cash in on the feel good factor. And some retailers are trying to get in on the act early with mugs, tea towels, plates and dolls on sale even before the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's son is named. Terrible: A knitted William, Kate and royal baby set which is on sale on eBay as online retailers try and cash in on the royal birth. Hand knitted royal scene: Prince William and Kate clutch a very large child as they stand with the Queen in this royal product on sale on eBay. Baby souvenir: A Prince potty chair which has gone on sale on Teamson.com so royal enthusiasts can teach their children how to use the bathroom. It comes complete with a toilet paper holder (left) Royal diapers: Strange velvet diapers fit for a future king that have gone on sale on Gdiapers.com. Refit your phone: A royal baby iPhone cover which has gone on sale on zazzle.com. Too far? A royal baby sick bag in pink is launched for those who have had enough of news about the birth. Royal theme: A baby outfit which has gone on sale for £14 on cafepress.co.uk. Tacky: Royal baby themed baby grow and dressing gown which have gone on sale for £20 each at littledelivery.com. Analysts predict that nearly £250million could be spent on royal baby related souvenirs over coming days. The wider boost to the economy could be worth as much as £500million. Souvenirs, memorabilia and food and drink will sell on the back of the royal birth immediately - while in the longer-term royal themed pushchairs and clothing will make millions, according to valuation experts Brand Finance. The new baby's midas touch will supplement the Royal family's annual contribution to the British economy which Brand Finance estimates to stand at £1.5 billion so far this year alone. The firm says the new baby will swell the coffers and enhance the assets of the family as a whole, including Crown Estate and Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster, which stands at £53.6 billion. The most desirable pieces are likely to be the ceramic cups, dishes and bowls which will vary from the cheap and cheerful to gold leaf-covered fine bone china creations costing hundreds of pounds. Stoke-on-Trent, the home of England's pottery industry, was a hive of activity as companies geared up for the birth. Designs have been drawn up and potters are waiting for the moment William and Kate's baby is named. Dr Laura Cohen, chief executive of the British Ceramic Confederation, highlighted how foreign collectors, especially from countries such as America and Japan, prize items from the UK. 'Royal' collection: Baby items from the Highgrove shop which pays its profits to Prince Charles' charitable foundation. Tacky: A knitted baby outfit which has gone on same on eBay - it consists of a romper suit, hat and shoes. Money maker? Harrods launch a £20 royal mug to mark the birth of William and Kate's first child - before the name of the boy is even known. Would you drink out of this? A slightly terrifying picture of an infant king on this hastily put together mug to mark the royal birth. It is on sale on eBay. Lego king: A Lego model of William, Kate and their new baby Prince which has been created by experts Caroline and Nick Savage. The couple created their own business making the bespoke Lego figures two years ago. 'Long live gran': The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge with their newborn baby boy immortalised in Lego. She said: 'This will be a welcome boost for UK tableware and giftware manufacturers, generating significant sales for many companies in the UK and overseas. 'UK manufacturers are uniquely placed to commence manufacturing as soon as the baby's name is announced and so respond rapidly to orders. 'Many customers value the "Made in England" backstamp on cherished family items such as these marking royal occasions.' Memorabilia to mark the royal birth will be led by the official range produced by the Royal Collection Trust. Chocolate cot: A tribute cradle which has been made by choclatiers at Cadbury to mark the royal birth yesterday. Big seller? Special edition Love Hearts sweets which say simply 'royal baby' which have been made at the Swizzels Matlow factory in New Mills, Derbyshire. Royal range: Lovehearts have launched a special royal baby sweet which is going on sale in shop. In recent years, the organisation has produced high-quality bone china items to mark historic moments for the monarchy. Although they are expected to launch a royal baby product range in the coming days, nothing has appeared on their website yet. A spokeswoman for the trust said: 'Royal Collection Trust has produced a number of commemorative china ranges to celebrate royal anniversaries and events, most recently for the royal wedding, the Diamond Jubilee, and the anniversary of the coronation in 2013. Royal souvenirs: Cups to mark the birth of the royal baby which had gone on sale in central London almost two weeks in advance of the birth. Commemorative plate: A souvenir which is on sale in central London. The market for royal baby memorabilia could be worth an estimated £250million. Souvenirs: Key rings which have gone on sale in stores in central London to mark the royal birth. Souvenirs in the making: Staff put the finishing touches to the Royal Crown Derby's Royal Birth Collection. they were working through the night last night to get the range ready after news broke that the baby was boy. Finishing touches: Hand-painted teddy bears which are part of the Royal Crown Derby's Royal Birth collection which will go on sale within days. Staff worked through the night on the products. 'An official range to celebrate the birth of a future monarch would be made, but not until after the event.' If the trust follows its past ranges, the items on sale could include a coffee mug, tankard, pillbox and plate decorated with a floral pattern or even heraldic creatures. The pieces are likely to feature the individual cyphers of the Duke and Duchess - their initials, W or C, below a coronet - the baby's name and date it was born. In past years, members of the monarchy have approved designs before they have gone into production, so William and Kate are likely to have already cast an eye over the plans. Royal baby range: First toy to mark the birth goes on sale in the Early Learning Centre today. Royal baby toy: Early Learning Centre staff up and down the country were busy stocking 50,000 limited edition Happyland Royal baby sets. Pricey: World's most expensive baby monitor which costs £35,000. This really is the king of baby gadgets... The world's most expensive baby monitor has been invented in time for the new royal arrival. Engineers at French electronics specialists Withings have spent two months designing a bespoke 24 carat gold gadget, worth £35,000, for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. With an in-built high definition camera, night-vision, and alerts that monitor noise, motion, temperature and humidity, the device will keep Kate and Wills close - even if they're in the other side of Kensington Palace. The first-time parents have been sent the state-of-the-art gadget to their Berkshire manor, which will transmit video of their son direct to their smart phones - no matter how far away they are.

It's important to ground the welder or you may electrocute yourself as you weld. The ground clamp should be attached to a flexible hose coming from your welder. Attach the clamp to the table or workstation that you plan on welding on. Always hold your welding gun with 2 hands. Position the tip of the gun towards the metal, at a 20-degree angle so that you can push the weld away from you. Remember to wear your welding gloves. A bead is the proper weld shape and looks like tiny circles when you're done. When you practice welding, make these tiny circles to create a bead instead of pushing the welding gun in a straight line.
