She was so wedged into the tight gap that she couldn’t get out. but was eventually rescued after six hours. But it was partly the fault of the woman herself; she was so drunk, she even resisted the rescue attempt, the Bureau of Fire Protection said. A spokesman said: ‘It took six hours to rescue her. In the end, the rescuers had to make a hole in the wall to remove her. ‘She sustained scratches and some bruises after the incident. Her friends asked that her identity was not revealed.’

Australian boy tricks family to fly to Bali alone Australian police say they will review how a 12-year-old boy travelled alone to Bali after he had a row with his parents and used their credit card. The boy, from Sydney, booked flights and accommodation online after his parents decided to cancel a holiday to the Indonesian island, the family told the local Nine Network. He flew to Bali via Perth, presenting only his passport and school ID. The Australian Federal Police confirmed he had been reported missing nine days earlier after leaving home and failing to turn up to school. They did not say how many days he was in Bali. He had used a self-service check-in terminal in Sydney to board a flight to Perth and then a connection to Bali, the Nine Network reported. The boy, identified only by a pseudonym, said he was questioned once by airline officials in Perth. "They just asked for my student ID and passport to prove that I am over 12 and that I am in secondary school," he said on the A Current Affair programme. "It was great because I wanted to go on an adventure." He said he had checked into his hotel room in Bali by telling staff that he was waiting for his sister to arrive. Australian police said they were alerted to his presence in Bali on 17 March. He was taken into protective custody before being reunited with his parents. The boy's mother told the programme she had been left "shocked", saying: "There is no emotion to feel what we felt when we found he left overseas." The mum admitted her 12-year-old “just doesn’t like the word no”. Police said they would review the circumstances of the case to make sure similar incidents did not happen again.

Would You Be Able to Pass a World War I Military Literacy Test? Though reading and writing might not come to mind as the first requirement for trench warfare, during the early 20th century, the U.S. Army became increasingly concerned with whether or not its soldiers were literate. Thousands of World War I soldiers couldn't read printed directions on basic military tasks. The Army didn't implement its first major literacy program until the 1940s, but literacy tests were included in a battery of psychological evaluations World War I recruits went through to determine their mental fitness and intelligence, as the blog Futility Closet recently highlighted. These unconventional literacy tests largely took the form of a yes or no questions with obvious answers, according to the 1921 report from the U.S. Surgeon General, Psychological Examining in the United States Army. Many of these tests are now considered racist and culturally biased—some of the "intelligence" testing questions required recruits to know things like what products Velvet Joe (a figure used in tobacco campaigns) advertised—but some of the literacy questions, in particular, simply come off as weird in the modern era. Some are downright existential, in fact, while others—"Is a guitar a disease?"—come off as almost poetic. One test, the Devens Literacy Test, asked recruits questions like "Is genuine happiness a priceless treasure?" and "Does success tend to bring pleasure?" Another section of the test asked "Do boys like to play?" and "Do clerks enjoy a vacation?" Other questions seem like they're up for debate, like "Are painters ever artless individuals?" and "Is extremely athletic exercise surely necessary?" Surely the answers to questions like "Should criminals forfeit liberty?" and "Is misuse of money an evil?" depend on the opinions of the reader. The answer to "Do imbeciles usually hold responsible offices?" might be different depending on how the person feels about their Congressional representative, and could surely be the spark for an hour-long argument at most dinner parties. Still others are tests of cultural knowledge, not reading skill—a major modern criticism of Yerkes's work. Despite being arguably a pretty literate person, lots of people would not know the answer to the question "Do voluntary enlistments increase the army?" A question like "Are 'diminutive' and 'Lilliputian' nearly identical?" isn't exactly a test of literacy, but a test of whether or not you've read Gulliver's Travels, which doesn't exactly seem like a necessity for military success. Here is one version of the Devens Literacy Test, used on Army recruits during World War I. The test was designed by psychologist E.A. Shaw and named after Camp Devens, in Ayer, Mass., where it was developed. The Devens Literacy Test: It begins with simple queries meant to be answerable by people with minimal education, moving forward into more and more difficult questions targeted at soldiers who had been to college. How to score the Devens Test: Subtract the number of wrong answers (or—in this case—questions that you find unanswerable) from the ones you think you got right. Score below 6: Illiterate; 6-20: Primary literacy; 21-25: Grammar school literacy; 26-30: Junior high school; 31-35: Senior high school; 36-42: College level

10 Most Popular Dog Breeds in USA The American Kennel Club released its annual list of the most popular dog breeds in the US. For the first time since 1998, the Beagle is not among the top five most popular dog breeds, as ranked annually by the American Kennel Club. Labrador Retriever: A chocolate Lab is photographed by the media following a news conference by the American Kennel Club to discuss the release of the club's annual list of the most popular dog breeds in the U.S. The club says that for the 22nd straight year, the Labrador Retriever is the nation's most popular dog. German Shepherd: Hailed as the world's leading police, guard and military dog, the breed is consistently on the popular lists for best family dog. Golden Retriever: This active and energetic sporting breed can adapt to many different living situations and is known for its friendly temperament and striking golden colour. “Always a trend-setter, New York City continues its love affair with the French Bulldog as the rest of the world catches on,” said AKC Executive Secretary Gina DiNardo in a press release. “The Frenchie is a very adaptable breed, making it a great companion for city dwellers.” Internet famous dogs such as the doge and a certain vertically-challenged dog beloved by the Queen of England are not as high on the list as you would think, though they do rank solidly in the top quartile. There are 196 dog breeds recognized by the American Kennel Club in total.

Air travel A man is sitting in the airport departure lounge when a gorgeous young girl in a stewardess uniform parks herself next to him. She’s so stunning that he tries to overcome his natural shyness and seize the moment with a witty and original chat-up line. He’s struggling for something to say, then it occurs to him that she might work for British Airways. He taps her on the shoulder and, quoting the BA slogan, says to her: “We take good care of you.” The girl just gives him a strange sideways look. “Shit, I’ve blown it,” he thinks to himself. “Hang on, maybe she is with Air France.” So he says to her: “So, we get you there faster.” This time she glares at him. “Bugger, wrong again. Maybe she works for American Airlines.” He turns to her again and says, “So, luxury is our middle name in the skies?” The girl turns to him and says, “Listen, mate, why don’t you just p***** off.” “Ah, now I get it,” says the man. “You’re with Ryanair.”

J. Cole Breaks First Day Streaming Records On Both Spotify And Apple Music 64.5 million streams in just 24 hours J. Cole’s KOD is knocking records out the box. The Fayetteville rapper’s newest LP shattered Apple Music and Spotify’s 24-hour streaming records, according to news reports. KOD was streamed 64.5 million times in its first 24 hours on Apple Music. Meanwhile, it surpassed 36.6 million streams on Spotify. This was enough to shatter both service’s 24-hour streaming records, as per Billboard and Spotify. Apple Music pulled in 66 percent of the first-day streaming market share for KOD in the US, and 60 percent worldwide, continuing its run of major first-week streaming totals when it comes to hip-hop and R&B artists. Somehow Apple Music (which has 120 million fewer users than Spotify) continues to give its top competitor trouble with releases in the world’s most popular genre of music. Spotify confirmed in a tweet that KOD was streamed 36.6 million times in the US in the first 24 hours, where it also broke the record for most first-day streams in the US for an album. With Apple Music expected to pass Spotify in users in the US sometime this summer, it’s likely more and more records will fall as Apple’s growing dominance in the world’s largest music streaming market continues to increase.
