Why are my pubes (and body hair in general) a different texture than the hair on my head? | Wild guess here, but I think it's because they serve different purposes. The hair on your head is meant to retain warmth, while other hair, such as pubic hair, is meant to prevent friction, and curly hair helps to prevent friction while also allowing heat to escape so your junk doesn't overheat. | The roots to a head of hair are deaper than roots for short hair such as eyebrows or legs, making it easier to wax them. Also, waxing hurts like hell, and can lead to torn skin, but its torn like scrapes and scabs. That hurts. |

Thieves have stolen a set of Grade II listed metal gates from a former Oxfordshire factory. | Made in 1931, they stood outside the former Alcan factory in Southam Road, Banbury, where metal for World War II planes were manufactured.
Thames Valley Police believe they may have been sold for scrap.
Cherwell District Councillor Kieron Mallon described the theft as "a devastating blow" for the town and its industrial heritage.
Mr Mallon, himself a former Alcan employee, said: "The site and the Alcan premises are very much a local landmark.
"Sadly, it looks as though the gates presented too good an opportunity for thieves to miss out on."
Thames Valley Police are appealing to anyone who may have noticed a vehicle or suspicious activity in the area sometime before the gates were stolen on 3 October.

Pending Home Sales Rose 3.5 Percent In November | There was a 3.5 percent increase in the number of "pending" home sales in November from October, the National Association of Realtors just reported. Those are home sales where a deal has been signed, but not yet closed. Since hitting a low in June, they've risen over the past five months -- but remain 5 percent below the level of November 2009.

Session Americana On Mountain Stage | Session Americana makes its first appearance on Mountain Stage, recorded live in Beckley, W.Va. Hailing from the Boston-area town of Somerville, Mass., Session Americana is a rotating cast of characters built around the core quartet of musicians Ry Cavanaugh, Billy Beard, Dinty Child and Jim Fitting. Describing itself as "a rock band in a teacup — or possibly a folk band in a whiskey bottle," the group gathers on stage around a collapsible bar table wired with a condenser microphone to make its own mark on the Americana songbook. What began as an all-star local jam session quickly grew into a regional institution, and before long the group had earned spots in national and international festival tents. The group won Improper Bostonian's "Best Roots Act" and "Best CD," and won Boston Music Awards' "Best Folk Act" and "Best Live Residency." It's also been nominated for the Boston Music Awards' "Best Americana Act" and "Best Live Act." Session Americana's newest album is titled Love And Dirt.

A possum (voice of Isaac Hayes) and a raccoon, Joey (voice of Michael Rapaport), tell the doctor that their boss, the Godbeaver, wants to see him. | The play is a loose adaptation of Moliere's 17th Century tragi-comedy Don Juan that transports the legendary womaniser to contemporary London.
The production, which Marber will direct, will run at the Wyndham's Theatre from 17 March to 10 June.
The original 2006 production starred Rhys Ifans in the title role and was directed by Michael Grandage.
The play drew a good review from the Telegraph's Charles Spencer, who described it as "savagely funny, disturbingly dark and disgracefully sexy".
Tennant previously performed at the Wyndham's in 2011, playing Benedick in Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing.
He recently played Richard II with the Royal Shakespeare Company at the Barbican, moving to New York with the production earlier this year.
The former Doctor Who actor played another famous womaniser, Casanova, in a 2005 BBC TV series.
Further Don Juan in Soho casting will be announced at a later date.

who is the original singer of blinded by the light | Blinded by the Light "Blinded by the Light" is a song written and recorded by Bruce Springsteen, which first appeared on his 1973 debut album Greetings from Asbury Park, N.J. A cover by British rock band Manfred Mann's Earth Band reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States in February 1977 and was also a top ten hit in the United Kingdom, New Zealand, and Canada. | According to writer Steven Knight, the singer's "people" had told him "he was a big, big fan" of the period drama.
Knight said he had been played a copy of Bowie's Blackstar album shortly before the singer's death in January.
"It seems that his people were keen to establish that we could use it before he died," he told the Radio Times.
Knight said he learned of Bowie's interest in the show after the singer sent a photo of himself to the show's lead actor.
"[Bowie] sent a photo of himself with razor blades in his cap to Cillian [Murphy] about a year ago," the writer disclosed.
The drama takes its name from gang members who sewed razor blades into the peaks of their flat caps in 1920s Birmingham.
The Bowie connection has come to light just as the third series of Peaky Blinders begins on BBC Two.
Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt and Steven Spielberg are also fans of the show, this week's Radio Times reveals. |
what brought an end to the populist party | People's Party (United States) The Populist movement never recovered from the failure of 1896, and national fusion with the Democrats proved disastrous to the party in the South. National alliance with the Democrats sapped the ability of the Populists to fight the Democrats locally in the South. Early on, this was less of an issue in the Western states where Republicans were strong, as the Democratic-Populist alliance was a more natural fit there, but eventually ended the party. | The Nazi party had [a very socialist program](_URL_0_). |
Feeling Antsy?

Healing The Wounds Of The Election Will Take Time | Michel Martin reflects on the divides that seemed particularly prevalent during and after the 2016 election, and what comes next. | I assume you're talking about the US congress, but also it's a concern for corporate boards, nonprofits, and other collaborative bodies. Two reasons: one benign, and one not. The benign one is that sometimes you just want to get the thing done. Everyone has been talking about it for 13 hours, it's now the middle of the night, there's still that dude who keeps bringing up random stuff, and you still have a dozen things you need to do before you can go home. So you hold a vote, and settle the issue. The not-benign reason is to hide what you're doing. You know it's going to be unpopular, you've gathered the votes you need beforehand, and hope that no one will notice. This isn't necessarily bad -- sometimes unpopular decisions need to be made, and it's only human to want to avoid being attacked afterward. More often, and especially in the US congress, it's to make sure the news cycle finds some other shiny object overnight ("hey everyone, here's a dachshund that can dance!") before anyone notices. |

Ahmad Ahmad, the head of Madagascar's FA, says he will challenge long-standing Confederation of African Football (Caf) ruler Issa Hayatou in March's presidential elections. | Ahmad, a member of the Caf Executive Committee, is currently in his third period of office with Madagascar.
The 57-year-old told the BBC that Caf has accepted his candidacy, which the governing body has since confirmed.
Hayatou, who has ruled the African game since 1988, is seeking an eighth term.
"I took (my decision) after hearing some federation presidents (say they) want change," Ahmad, a former sports minister, told BBC Sport.
"After the Africa Cup of Nations, I am going to organise a press conference to show my programme. During the Nations Cup, I (want) to celebrate football."
"I expect some federations to support me. Even my head of state supports me for this decision," added the current vice-president of Madagascar's Senate.
Hayatou was re-elected unopposed during the last Caf presidential elections in 2013.
The Cameroonian had previously stated this term would be his last until a change of regulations altered his stance.
In 2015, Caf voted to change the statutes which previously stopped officials serving past the age of 70.
This paved the way for Hayatou, who turned 70 last year, to stand in the election.
He is already Caf's longest-serving ruler, having led the organisation for 29 years.
"In life, there is a limit," said Ahmad of his hopes of dethroning Hayatou. "Typically in politics, everyone has his chance - maybe it is time."
The elections will take place in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa as the organisation celebrates its 60th year of existence.
Whoever wins the election will be limited to a maximum of three terms in office after Caf amended its rules last year.

TV star Katie Price has said a sexual assault at the age of seven influenced her decision to become a glamour model. | Price, 38, told ITV's Loose Women that being a victim "led to me dressing provocatively" and go into modelling.
She appeared on the show as a guest alongside Karen Danczuk, who was raped by her brother when she was a child.
Price, who gained fame in the 1990s as her former alter-ego Jordan, previously spoke about a rape claim in 2009.
After leaving school, Price began training as a nurse but turned to glamour modelling instead, she told Loose Women on Wednesday.
"You could be all sexy," she said. "Being a glamour model is a trade for men, so it was like, you can look at me but you can't touch me."
Hosts Ruth Langsford, Saira Khan and Janet Street-Porter asked how the assault had affected her life.
"I say it hasn't affected me but it must deep down," she said, adding that the assault "absolutely" impacted her choice of career which had given her a sense of control.
In 2009, Price told Piers Morgan on chat show, Life Stories, that "some weirdo" had attacked her in a park.
She added on Loose Women: "I've never gone into actual detail about what he did.
"I've been abused and raped since then, I'm not going to say who."
Price has previously said she was raped by a ''famous celebrity'' in a magazine column published eight years ago.
At the time, she said she had no plans to make a formal complaint and would "absolutely never" name the celebrity.
Mrs Danczuk, whose brother Michael Burke was jailed for 15 years in December, said: "Mentally I feel like I'm ready to move on".
She added: "At the same time I can be washing the dishes or walking to school with my boys and get flashes in my head." | The 15-year-old girl, who cannot be identified for legal reasons, appeared via video link at Leeds Crown Court.
Katie was found injured near a playing field on Monday. She died a short time later in hospital.
The teenager, who is also charged with the possession of an offensive weapon namely a knife, was remanded in youth detention.

She is next due to appear for a pre-trial hearing at Leeds Crown Court on 16 February.
Due to her age, the judge and court officials did not wear gowns or wigs.
Katie was found by police after they were called to Alness Drive, in the Woodthorpe area of the city, on Monday afternoon.
A number of floral tributes, candles and teddies have been placed in the alleyway which links to the playing field.
An online donation site in aid of Katie's family has raised almost £20,000 in three days. |
what does the song easy by the commodores mean | Easy (Commodores song) Written by Commodores lead singer Lionel Richie, the song is a slow ballad expressing a man's feelings as he ends a relationship.

Jack Hughes' last-minute try helped Warrington beat Castleford Tigers to secure a Super League play-off spot. | Luke Gale looked to have sealed the match for Castleford when he landed a drop-goal with two minutes remaining to put the visitors 11-10 in front.
But Hughes added to earlier scores from Joe Westerman and Rhys Evans to win it.
Castleford, for whom Denny Solomona touched down in the first half, must win their last four games to stand any chance of finishing in the top four.
Warrington's next fixture is the Challenge Cup final against Hull FC at Wembley on 27 August.
Warrington head coach Tony Smith: "It was a tough game but Castleford are one of the best attacking teams in the country and have recently taken the scalps of Hull and Wigan.
"To keep them to one try was a big effort. That was probably their final crack at it but it seals our own position in the top four."
Castleford head coach Daryl Powell: "It's tough to lose like this and I don't think anyone could have argued if we'd won by a point.
"It was a war of attrition but we nullified Warrington's strength for most of the game. We are going to grow from this and the team has a big future."

Referee: Chris Kendall | Jamie Shaul went over to put Hull ahead, but Saints led at half-time thanks to James Roby's try from dummy-half and a penalty from Percival.
Percival went over after good work from Theo Fages, before Mahe Fonua crossed to reduce the visitors' deficit.
But Percival touched down acrobatically from Fages' kick, before Danny Richardson's drop-kick sealed the win.
Saints are now almost certain to finish in Super League's top eight, with only Catalans - six points behind with three games to play - able to catch them.
Hull, who lost 45-0 when the two sides met in May, were already assured of a top-eight finish, as they stay fourth in the table.
The result could have been different had Fetuli Talanoa not had a try correctly disallowed for a push on Tommy Makinson shortly before Percival's second try, but instead Saints held on for a sixth consecutive home victory.

New Mix: The Velvet Underground, Belle & Sebastian, Grouper, More | On this week's All Songs Considered, Robin Hilton shares the first single from Belle & Sebastian's upcoming album, Girls In Peacetime Want To Dance, out Jan. 20. If they're looking for it, "The Party Line" would give those girls what they want — it's a surprisingly bouncy song from the veteran Scottish band.

Four of those songs are on the show this week, including an upbeat but dark song from the British trio Happyness, a grinding track from post-punk band Protomartyr, Japanese prog and punk rock from Bo Ningen and gorgeous vocals and instrumental harmonies from teenage Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora. Robin also shares a gorgeous, spare song from Grouper (Liz Harris), whose forthcoming album, Ruins, is available to stream in its entirety in our First Listen series. And finally, it's difficult to believe that it's been more than a year since Lou Reed's death. A new reissue of The Velvet Underground's self-titled third album is packaged in a six-disc box set that includes previously unheard live recordings and a newly remastered version of the album. Robin plays a live version of "I'm Waiting For The Man" from the set, The Velvet Underground: 45th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition. | Shook was an underground independently produced electronic music magazine , based in London , which covered various forms of British music and black music . |
Republic of Ireland fans have paid tribute to Northern Ireland fan Darren Rodgers. | The 24-year-old Ballymena man died in a fall in Nice, France, in the early hours of Monday morning.
He had been in the city to see Northern Ireland play Poland in the Euro 2016 tournament.
A makeshift memorial marks the spot on the promenade from which the former Cambridge House Grammar School pupil fell.
Both Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland jerseys and flags, as well as floral tributes, have been left by fans paying their respects.
Irish fans also clapped and sang in tribute to Mr Rodgers in the 24th minute of the Republic's game against Sweden on Monday night. The timing was chosen due to his age.
Fans watching the game in Belfast's designated fanzone joined in the gesture with a minute long round of applause.
Boxer Carl Frampton has joined those welcoming the gesture, tweeting that it was "amazing".
Darren Rodgers played football himself with junior side Braid United, from Broughshane in County Antrim.
In a tribute on their Facebook page a spokesperson has written: "A man who on and off the pitch would have done anything for you, always great craic and giving his all every game.
"We are not just losing a player, today we lose a friend and one of the best people I've ever known."

A first teacher has taken advantage of an offer of free accommodation for six months to teach in Moray. | The council has struggled to fill a number of vacant posts despite repeated advertising.
It teamed up with local developer Springfield to provide 10 new two-bedroom properties for new recruits.
Now Gillian Elliot, 23, will take up a post at Milne's High School in Fochabers after two years of teaching in Glasgow.
She said of the accommodation offer: "It was what drew me to the post.
"Starting a new job is daunting enough in itself without the additional pressure of finding somewhere to live. It is a great opportunity to get teachers to come to the area."
Moray Council's director of education and social care, Laurence Findlay, said there had been a significant increase in the number of applicants for teaching posts.
He said: "Previously we were getting just a handful of applications for some posts - now we are typically getting well into double figures.
"Although Gillian is the first to take up the offer of accommodation, there has certainly been a very encouraging rise in the number of teachers applying for posts in Moray and that seems to have coincided with Springfield's very generous offer of free accommodation for six months."
Springfield chairman Sandy Adam said: "We are delighted to welcome Gillian to Moray and to her new home. It's good to hear that the number of teachers applying for posts in Moray is rising.
"Moray is a great place to live and work and we have extended the offer until Christmas with the intention of helping more teachers to make the move." | In most provinces a second Bachelor's Degree such as a Bachelor of Education is required to become a qualified teacher. |

A man has died following a blaze at a house in Peterhead. | The fire broke out just before 15:00 on Saturday at a semi-detached property on Ravenscraig Road in the town.
Firefighters found the body of man inside the property while tackling the blaze. Police have said the man's death was being treated as unexplained.
Three crews from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service used a hose reel jet and breathing apparatus to bring the flames under control.
Insp Simon Reid of Police Scotland said: "Police along with Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and the Scottish Ambulance Service attended a property in Ravenscaig Road, following reports of a fire at a domestic property.
"Sadly, the body of a male has been found within the property and the cause of death remains unexplained at this time.

A former East Yorkshire primary school head teacher abused a boy during reading lessons, a court has heard. | Clifford Stott, 69, of Rise Road, Skirlaugh, is accused of abusing two boys during the 1970s at Paull Primary School and Sproatley Endowed School.
One alleged victim told Hull Crown Court he was indecently assaulted as he sat on Mr Stott's lap while reading.
Mr Stott, who denies eight sexual offences, is also said to have got into bed with the boy during a school trip.
One of the two alleged victims told the court how Mr Stott would take individual children to a reading corner and sit them on his lap.
He said that during these sessions the teacher indecently assaulted him on more than one occasion.
The witness also said he was made to share a twin bedroom with Mr Stott while away on a school trip.
Asked by prosecutor Patrick Palmer what he thought of the alleged demand, he replied: "I just did what I was told."
Another witness, not an alleged victim but giving evidence to the court, said he too had been made to share a bed with Mr Stott during a school trip, while Mr Stott was head teacher at Sproatley Endowed School.
He said that after he fell ill on the trip he went to ask for help and Mr Stott had taken him back to his bedroom and got in to bed with him.
"I didn't think that at nine years old it was appropriate," he said.
Asked by defence barrister Bernard Gateshill whether he could have been mistaken, the witness said: "No, I told my mother that it had happened."
Mr Stott denies five charges of indecent assault against one child, two charges of indecent assault against a second child and one charge of indecency.

where do you take a conversion from in rugby | Try In both codes, when a try is scored, the scoring team gets to attempt a conversion, which is a kick at goal to convert the try from one set of points into another larger set of points. The kick is taken at any point on the field of play in line with the point that the ball was grounded for the try, and parallel to the touch-lines. If successful, additional points are scored. For the conversion to be successful, the ball must pass over the crossbar and between the uprights. In both codes, the conversion may be attempted as either a place kick (from the ground) or a drop kick. Most players will nevertheless opt for a place kick, this being generally regarded as the easier skill. Note, however, that in both rugby sevens (usually, but not always, played under union rules) and rugby league nines, conversions may only take place as drop kicks. In rugby league, the game clock continues during preparation and execution of a conversion, with the institution of a 25-second shot clock at certain tournaments from the moment the try is awarded by the referee, within which time the conversion kick must be taken, hence a team may decline a conversion attempt if recommencing play as quickly as possible is advantageous to them. | Scarlets The Llanelli Scarlets were founded in 2003, as one of the five (now four) regional teams created by the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU).

The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Cambridge have attended the Royal Edinburgh Military Tattoo. | It was the first time Prince Charles and his son Prince William have attended the event at Edinburgh Castle.
The annual Tattoo is currently in its 68th season.
This year's event recognises 2017 as being the Year of the Royal Navy and comes ahead of the official naming of the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales later this year.
It is also marking Scotland's Year of History, Heritage and Archaeology with a second "Splash of Tartan" theme.
As well as attending the Tattoo, the royals viewed a short performance beforehand on the forecourt at the Palace of Holyroodhouse.
Charles, known as the Duke of Rothesay in Scotland, and William, who takes the title the Earl of Strathearn when north of the border, attended the Tattoo around halfway through its August run.
This year's performance involves a cast of more than 1,200 people from across the globe.
The line-up includes more than 250 pipers and drummers, five UK military bands and the event's first Japanese act, as well as major contingents from France, India and the United States.
The first Edinburgh Tattoo took place in 1950, with the first overseas regiment taking part in 1952.
Since then, 48 countries from across six continents have been represented at the Tattoo.
It attracts an annual audience of around 220,000, meaning that more than 14m people have attended the Tattoo since it began. | One city centre tattoo studio was faced with 800 potential customers on Friday.
The Manchester Tattoo Appeal was launched by Stalybridge-based tattoo artist Sam Barber, with those taking part donating £50 to help the families of those killed or injured.
Tattoo parlours across the UK are now taking part.
Manchester is adorned with the bee emblem, which is a legacy of the city's textile industry.
The tattoo appeal was announced shortly after the suicide bomber attack at Manchester Arena on Monday, which left 22 people dead.
Molly Rylance, who was at the concert during the attack, was one of the first to get a bee tattoo.
She said: "I just thought I wanted it to remember - not what happened - but kind of how resilient we are as a community and just how everyone stood together and said that it's not going to break us."
Tattoo artist Sam Barber said people were using it as a "symbol of strength".
"We've actually got a lot of family members of some of the victims coming forward who want it as a memorial tattoo now," she said.
"Paramedics and health workers who were on the scene, who were there in the aftermath - who also want to come together and get that tattoo done. "
Holier Than Thou, in Oldham Street, said 800 people turned up for a bee tattoo but most had to be turned away for the day due to the demand.
Danielle Kosky, 22, who managed to get a bee tattoo, said: "It's a nice way of showing support for the victims, their families and to remember them forever - not just now.
"I didn't know how else to offer my support. Facebook and Instagram are good, but this will be on me forever, not just words that you see on a screen." |
how do they pick teams for nfl hall of fame game | Pro Football Hall of Fame Game The two teams that play in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game are typically selected by the league in advance of the remainder of the preseason schedule. The participants are usually announced around the time that the new Hall of Fame members are announced, which coincides with Super Bowl week. Often, if a particularly notable player will be entering the Hall of Fame that year, a team they were strongly associated with may be selected to play in the game to help maximize attendance and publicity of the game itself. From 1971 to 2010, the opponents for each game usually included one AFC team and one NFC team. In 2009, as recognition of the 50th anniversary of the American Football League, the game paired two AFC teams who were part of the "original eight" franchises of the AFL, the Tennessee Titans (dressed as their previous incarnation, the Houston Oilers) and the Buffalo Bills, whose owner, Ralph Wilson, was inducted into the Hall that year. An all-NFC matchup was scheduled for 2011,[1] but it was canceled due to the 2011 NFL lockout; the following year, another intra-conference matchup of two NFC teams took its place. From 2011 onward, each team selected to play in the game has had at least one prominent alumnus being inducted into the Hall that year. | Note also that `` not NFL '' only implies that algorithms are inequivalent by `` some '' performance dimensions overall . |

when was the last time lead was used in pencils | Pencil As a technique for drawing, the closest predecesor to the pencil was Silverpoint until in 1565 (some sources say as early as 1500), a large deposit of graphite was discovered on the approach to Grey Knotts from the hamlet of Seathwaite in Borrowdale parish, Cumbria, England.[4][5][6][7] This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid, and it could easily be sawn into sticks. It remains the only large-scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form.[8] Chemistry was in its infancy and the substance was thought to be a form of lead. Consequently, it was called plumbago (Latin for "lead ore").[9][10] Because the pencil core is still referred to as "lead", or a "lead", many people have the misconception that the graphite in the pencil is lead,[11] and the black core of pencils is still referred to as lead, even though it never contained the element lead.[12][13][14][15][16][17] The words for pencil in German (bleistift), Irish (peann luaidhe), Arabic (قلم رصاص qalam raṣāṣ), and some other languages literally mean lead pen. | Bendy and the Ink Machine Bendy and the Ink Machine was announced to be published by Rooster Teeth Games for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch sometime in 2018 after the final chapter has been completed.[3] |

Plans for a new stadium in Cornwall are in jeopardy after councillors deferred a decision for a supermarket which would have paid for it. | Cornwall Council members voted on the plans and four other major retail developments in Truro on Thursday.
Developers Inox had said they would contribute £8m from the supermarket deal to build the 6,000-seat stadium.
Supporters say the decision effectively marks the end of the proposal, while Inox said a "miracle" was needed.
A petition of nearly 5,000 signatures in favour of the stadium was handed in to County Hall before the meeting.
Ian Connell, chairman of the Cornish Pirates rugby club, said: "We are hugely disappointed. The decision was greeted with total dismay from supporters, some as far afield as New Zealand."
Rob Saltmarsh, the managing director of Inox, said: "I can't see a way forward. Members decided our application wasn't suitable or didn't offer enough benefit for Cornwall."
Two of the four proposals were approved at the meeting, but Mr Saltmarsh said there was "commercial demand" for only one supermarket so despite the deferral, he feared the stadium's supermarket would not be approved.
He added it had taken Inox six years to get to this stage and doubted other developers would built a stadium in the current economic climate.
Truro and Penwith College vowed to contribute £2m to make up the £10m needed to build the stadium on the edge of Truro.
On Thursday, the Maiden Green development, a proposal for a supermarket and 515 homes was approved, as was the Willow Green application, which includes a supermarket, 435 homes and a primary school. | Carwyn Jones said his government wants "to see this project delivered but it has to be delivered on a sustainable basis."
The company behind the project wants a £210m taxpayer-funded guarantee.
The Conservatives and Plaid Cymru have criticised a delay on the decision.
It was originally expected that ministers would decide whether to go ahead with backing the project in March.
The guarantee that is sought amounts to about half the cost of the scheme.
During the session of questions to the first minister in the Senedd, Plaid's economy spokesman Adam Price said: "I think people will draw their own conclusion, first minister, on why this decision has been pushed beyond the general election."
In response, Mr Jones said: "He makes the insinuation that somehow this has been pushed back for some insidious reason.
"I can tell him that, unlike him, we do conduct proper due diligence. People expect that, people in Blaenau Gwent expect that.
"We want to see this project delivered but it has to be delivered on a sustainable basis."
Pressed by his fellow Labour AM, Lynne Neagle, on the date a decision could be expected, the first minister said: "I would expect the cabinet to meet in the course of the next fortnight with a decision being taken, of course, at that cabinet meeting.
"I understand the great enthusiasm for the project but we also have to temper that, of course, with ensuring that the project stacks up on its own, that the level of risk is acceptable, that there is substantial investment from the private sector, and that's what we've been working with, with the Circuit of Wales team," he added. |
A kestrel that flew into a car's grille has been released by garage mechanics. | The bird became trapped on the road at Whittington near Downham Market in Norfolk.
The driver travelled slowly to Graham Gillis Auto Repair where technicians removed the bird, which was then taken to the RSPCA centre at East Winch.
Craig Plumley, animal welfare officer, said: "It is the first time I have known it happen in the 19 years I have been working at the RSPCA."
Mr Plumley said the bird of prey was a victim of "very unfortunate timing".
"He got hit by the car at the exact moment it swooped up from catching a mouse - the dead mouse was also found in the grille," he said.
"You can't prepare for anything like this, but the driver did the right thing by driving slowly to a garage and the garage was really good in getting the kestrel out."
The RSPCA said the bird had been X-rayed and had no broken bones and it hoped to release it back to the wild soon.
Sue Levings, from East Winch wildlife centre, said: "Apart from tail feather damage, the bird is making a good recovery.

Ohio Rapist-Killer's Execution Delayed 10 Days By U.S. Judge | The execution of Romell Broom, already delayed by Ohio's governor a week after executioners couldn't find a suitable vein to administer the lethal cocktail of drugs, was delayed yet again by a federal judge Friday. U.S. District Judge Gregory Frost accepted the request of Broom's lawyers for a temporary injunction to delay the execution for at least ten days from Friday. The judge scheduled a hearing for a preliminary injunction on Sept. 28. So there won't be another attempt to execute Broom as scheduled on Tuesday. Broom was to be executed for raping and killing 14-year old Tryna Middleton in 1984. But earlier in the week, the Ohio execution team labored futilely for two hours as they tried to find a usable vein. The botched attempt led Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland to put off another attempt until next week. | The security-camera footage, captured at a drive-in burger stand in January, is expected to be used at his trial.
The judge has ruled that Mr Knight will be tried for murder and attempted murder over the incident.
One of the victims was killed and the other seriously injured. The Death Row Records founder denies the charges.
Mr Knight's legal team says it was an accident as their client was fleeing what he believed was an ambush attempt by the two men and others.
But prosecutors say Mr Knight deliberately ran them them over.
The video - which had already been circulating on the internet - was formally reviewed during a preliminary court hearing on Friday.
It shows the vehicle pulling up to the burger stand and one of the victims approaching the driver's side window. A struggle ensues.
Mr Knight's truck is seen going into reverse, throwing the man to the ground. It then moves forward, driving over his legs and slams into the other victim, who was killed.
Mr Knight turned himself in to authorities a day after the incident. If found guilty, he could face a sentence of 25 years to life in prison. |
Why security screws are used in restrooms? | Bathrooms are an extremely common location for vandalism. Graffitti, cutting/scraping/gouging/burning, and general destruction is common. I'm sure that's no surprise to anyone who has ever used public bathrooms. There are people out there that would remove a door, or stall wall, just for a laugh. Everyone else is no inconvenienced, not to mention, the cost of replacement. There are also people that would just loosen everything so the next person will make it all fall apart, possibly getting injured in the process (grab hand rail, just to have wall give out and fall on you). Security screws are a darn good protection against this. Of course, anyone with a few dollars can just buy security bits, but at least they can't just take a dime out of their pocket and get screws out while waiting for nature to run it's course. It gets rid of that impulse for destruction, and requires pre-planning and forethought, something most people who are destroying bathrooms aren't too good at. | For the same reason a lot of convenience stores and gas stations modify their doors to be harder to push open (they seem heavier). It makes it harder for people to run out and take off in a snatch-and-grab or other criminal situation. You'll especially notice this in pawn shops that have two sets of doors and a little hallway in between -- they'll usually unlock only the doors diagonal from one another so that anyone who runs out has to go through one door and cut across to the one diagonal from it. This gives security more time to respond and apprehend. |
What accounts for people having their own distinct voice? | The different shape of their vocal cords and projection area (the mouth and throat) combined with different uses.

Burton Albion are hoping to re-sign teenage midfielder Hamza Choudhury from Leicester City, says boss Nigel Clough. | The 18-year-old helped Burton win automatic promotion to the Championship last season, playing 13 games during a three-month loan spell.
On his return from Leicester's training camp in Austria last week, Choudhury watched from the stands as Burton beat Stoke in a friendly match on Saturday.
"We'd love to get him back if we can, so that's ongoing," said Clough.
He told BBC Radio Derby: "We have asked about Hamza coming back, he had contractual issues to sort out, but now he has got back from Austria training with Premier League champions." | The 51-year-old, who was appointed in January 2014, had his contract terminated with the Lions second from bottom after five defeats in six games.
Ex-Millwall striker Neil Harris will take charge for the rest of the season.
"This was a hard decision to take because we very much hoped that Ollie would prove to be the man to take us forward and on to the next level," said chairman John Berylson.
"I would like to thank him for his efforts, and in particular for keeping us in the Championship last May.
"This season, though, has proved to be an extremely challenging one and we now find ourselves facing another uphill battle to avoid relegation."
Former Queens Park Rangers, Blackpool and Crystal Palace boss Holloway took over last season following the departure of Steve Lomas.
He guided them from 21st to 19th in the table, avoiding relegation by four points.
The club made an encouraging start to this season, winning three and drawing one of their first five Championship matches, but have won just three times since October and are eight points from safety.
Harris scored 138 goals across two spells at The Den and had been coaching Millwall's Under-21 side, having returned to the south London club under Lomas in June 2013.
The 37-year-old had a brief spell in caretaker charge of the Lions after Lomas was sacked in December 2013, drawing one and losing two games.
"I am confident that Millwall fans will give him every support over the next couple of months as we strive to turn our current run of form around," Berylson added. |

Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill was happy with the 4-0 World Cup qualifier victory over San Marino, which leaves his team third in Group C. | Substitute Kyle Lafferty bagged a double in the comfortable win ahead of Tuesday's away clash against Germany.
"There were a lot of good things and I'm delighted with the score," he said.
"However, our final ball was poor at times and players know things could have been better - and our standards will have to be higher on Tuesday."
Northern Ireland skipper Steven Davis and Jamie Ward also netted against a San Marino side reduced to 10 players following Mirko Palazzi's dismissal on 49 minutes.
"It was a difficult decision to leave Kyle out but he has only played 45 minutes for Norwich since the Czech Republic game last month," O'Neill told Sky Sports.
"I'm delighted for him to get the goals and his attitude was great.
"We know what to expect against Germany and we will have to rise to the occasion."
Lafferty produced an impressive cameo at the redeveloped Windsor Park, which was officially opened before the game.
"I was disappointed not to start although I understand Michael's decision," said the striker.
"It was the right decision as I'm not fit but I'm happy to get on and score two goals.
"We stayed patient in the match and we're happy with four points from our opening two qualifiers."

Why do organized crime groups(especially well-known ones, such as Mafias etc.) still exist and thrive? Why are they not being taken down? | In Italy, it depends on politics. Well funded organizations are able to infiltrate the politic environment at various levels, by electing or corruping politicians. In return the organization give money to the electors before and after the election. Usually when a group is taken down, it's because it has lost the favor of the politician in command. Various organizations tend to form "cartels" in order to improve their business avoiding direct competition.

Senior doctors have urged politicians to address NHS challenges and low morale and give clinicians the power to make radical changes. | The Royal College of Physicians (RCP) says more Welsh medical students need to be trained to fill gaps.
It wants Wales to lead the way in public health, such as taxes on sugary drinks, with obesity a "huge problem".
Political parties have been urged to take on board an RCP action plan ahead of the 2016 Welsh assembly elections.
Dr Alan Rees, RCP vice president for Wales, said: "Morale in Wales is low; throughout the NHS in the UK it is low.
"85% of our senior consultants say they are under intolerable pressure. The NHS in Wales is under-resourced and we have difficulties in recruitment and retention at all levels."
He said the debate about change in the NHS had to be "de-politicised" and they were happy to come to difficult decisions if it was best for patients.
The Royal College for Physicians wants:
"The voice of the clinicians had not been sufficiently heard in any changes and what we'd like is for the next Welsh government to empower clinicians to be innovative, to change the method of delivery of health care which is appropriate for the 21st century," said Dr Rees.
"There are technological improvements, such as virtual clinics in north Wales with neurologists in south Wales for example."
He said more money needed to be spent in the NHS but they could work more efficiently with the resources they had.
More medical students from Wales trained in Welsh medical schools would be likely to have a knock-on effect on keeping doctors, he added. | The health minister has confirmed that £1.5m has now been made available. The jobs will be advertised shortly.
The new Londonderry hospital unit is on schedule to open in the autumn. It will treat over 1,000 patients from Northern Ireland and almost 400 from the Republic of Ireland.
Simon Hamilton said the jobs would be specialised and highly skilled.

A body has been found in the remains of a burnt out house after two days of searching. | The man - who has not been named but is thought to be in his 60s or 70s - was found late on Friday evening on Austin Close in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.
Fire ripped through the home on Wednesday which made the building dangerously unstable and had to be dismantled to search for the occupant.
Police and the fire service are investigating the cause of the blaze.
Neighbours said a man lived in the house with two dogs.
It was the second death in the same week in Nottinghamshire after a man was found dead in a fire in nearby Hucknall on Wednesday.
It prompted the fire service to carry out safety advice sessions. | The fire broke out just before 15:00 on Saturday at a semi-detached property on Ravenscraig Road in the town.
Firefighters found the body of man inside the property while tackling the blaze. Police have said the man's death was being treated as unexplained.

scholars estimate the palace of knossos may have been approximately how many stories tall | Knossos The great palace was gradually built between 1700 and 1400 BC, with periodic rebuildings after destruction. Structures preceded it on Kephala hill. The features currently most visible date mainly to the last period of habitation, which Evans termed Late Minoan. The palace has an interesting layout[31] – the original plan can no longer be seen due to the subsequent modifications. The 1,300 rooms are connected with corridors of varying sizes and direction, which differ from other contemporaneous palaces that connected the rooms via several main hallways. The 6 acres (24,000 m2) of the palace included a theater, a main entrance on each of its four cardinal faces, and extensive storerooms (also called magazines). Within the storerooms were large clay containers (pithoi) that held oil, grains, dried fish, beans, and olives. Many of the items were processed at the palace, which had grain mills, oil presses, and wine presses. Beneath the pithoi were stone holes that were used to store more valuable objects, such as gold. The palace used advanced architectural techniques: for example, part of it was built up to five stories high. | Brihadeeswarar Temple The temple stands amidst fortified walls that were probably added in the 16th century. The vimanam (temple tower) is 198 ft (60 m) high and is one of the tallest in the world. The Kumbam (the apex or the bulbous structure on the top) weighs around 80 tons.[4] There is a big statue of Nandi (sacred bull), carved out of a single rock measuring about 16 ft (4.9 m) long and 13 ft (4.0 m) high at the entrance.[5] The entire temple structure is made out of granite, the nearest sources of which are about 60 km to the west of temple. The temple is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Tamil Nadu.[6] |
Why did Frodo have to get on the boat at the end of the Lord of the Rings movies? | The wound was cursed and he never really healed. Plus, he was the keeper of an extremely evil ring for 17-18 years which, at the end, was almost a battle of wills with Sauron. So basically, he could never be healed and find peace. Thus, the elves (or a higher power) allowed that he could make the journey to a place where he could be healed at last. | It was previously owned by illustrator Pauline Baynes, who produced the first illustrative map for Tolkien's trilogy.
It was unseen for decades until last October, when a book shop put it on display for an asking price of £60,000.
On the map, Tolkien adds place names in Elvish, one of the languages he created for the books.
Ms Baynes was introduced to when she first submitted illustrations for his Middle-earth epic in 1949.
Tolkien went on to introduce her to fellow author CS Lewis, for whose Narnia books she also went on to produce illustrations.
The map, which was bought by the Bodleian Libraries for about the asking price, will become part of its Tolkien archive and could be exhibited to the public.
On the annotated map, Tolkien instructs Ms Baynes on the placement of important towns and cities like Hobbiton, the home of the trilogy's hero Frodo Baggins.
In one annotation he writes Hobbiton should be "approximately at the latitude of Oxford", where the author lived.
The Bodleian Libraries' keeper of special collections Chris Fletcher, said: "We're delighted to have been able to acquire this map and it's particularly appropriate that we are keeping it in Oxford.
"Tolkien spent almost the whole of his adult life in the city and was clearly thinking about its geographical significance as he composed elements of the map."
The map was originally drawn by Tolkien's son Christopher for the 1954 edition of the book. |
Why does food not have much a smell when cold or frozen but does when heated? | Temperature is really a measure of the average energy of the molecules in the object. At low temperatures, few is them have enough energy to fly off and make it to your nose. As you heat it up, more and more will get there and the smell will become stronger. | Your battery uses a chemical reaction to produce the electricity needed to run your car. When it's cold out this reaction slows down, decreasing power output. Your engine oil also gets thick when cold. It's harder to move engine parts through thick oil. |
when was the second law of thermodynamics discovered | Second law of thermodynamics The second law has been expressed in many ways. Its first formulation is credited to the French scientist Sadi Carnot, who in 1824 showed that there is an upper limit to the efficiency of conversion of heat to work, in a heat engine. | The steam engine contributed much to the development of thermodynamic theory; however, the only applications of scientific theory that influenced the steam engine were the original concepts of harnessing the power of steam and atmospheric pressure and knowledge of properties of heat and steam. |
How many gold medals did Kenya win during the Beijing Olympics? | New athletes gained attention, such as Pamela Jelimo, the women's 800m gold medalist who went ahead to win the IAAF Golden League jackpot, and Samuel Wanjiru who won the men's marathon. | Teenager Georgia-Mae Fenton replaces Amy Tinkler and will compete alongside Rio Olympians Claudia Fragapane, and Ellie and Becky Downie.
None of the men's Rio team, including medallists Max Whitlock, Louis Smith and Nile Wilson, are included.
However, 2012 Olympic medallist Sam Oldham returns to the team.
First-year senior Joe Fraser is set to make his international debut, as is Dom Cunningham. Courtney Tulloch, James Hall and Frank Baines complete the line-up.
Rio Olympians Whitlock, Smith and Kristian Thomas are taking a break from competition.
Wilson is injured, while Brinn Bevan is the other Rio member absent.
Men's head coach Eddie van Hoof said: "As the first European Championship of the new Olympic cycle, this competition gives the unknown a chance to become known.
"There are a number of medal opportunities for the taking."
Fenton, 16, makes her senior international debut having finished fourth in the all-around and winning silver on bars at the British Championships in March.
Tinkler, meanwhile, has been restricted in her start to the year by a calf strain and was not planning to compete.
Amanda Reddin, British women's head coach, said: "For Georgia-Mae, this is a well-deserved opportunity to test herself at the highest level.
"Becky, Ellie and Claudia have all taken medals at World and European level and so will go in to the championships aiming for more success."
The event in Cluj-Napoca runs from 19-23 April and is the first international competition for the GB team since their best ever Olympic haul of seven medals in Rio. |
