Tornado Swarm Deals Death, but Also Miracles
April 18, 2011
ASKEWVILLE, N.C. — For all the deaths and broken bones and flattened houses, there were still some miracles packed into the 10 minutes it took for the last of a great roar of tornadoes to chew
through this rural corner of the state. a wall that had fallen on five residents of a group home. There was the married couple who were thrown into their backyard as the storm exploded their home. They landed
close enough, battered and bruised, to hold hands. People say they saw her lifted into the funnel cloud when the storm hit Saturday night. They thought she was a goner. Tornado Swarm Deals Death, but Also Miracles, NYT, 18.4.2011, http://www.nytimes.com/2011/04/19/us/19carolina.html
Unemployed claimants to face loss of benefits for refusing work [ for > valeur explicative ]
Severe welfare shakeup will introduce claimant contract with up to three years' benefits penalty for refusing a job
The Guardian
A tougher-than-expected squeeze on the unemployed is to be announced today as the jobless face the threat of losing all benefits for as long as three years
if they refuse community work or the offer of a job, or fail to apply for a
job if advised to do so. unemployed people will lose benefits for three months if they fail to take up one of the options for the first time,
six months if they refuse an offer twice, and three years if they refuse an
offer three times. and may not wait for the introduction of a streamlined universal credit system in 2013-14.
