They're taking on some of the world's most vexing and urgent challenges, like climate change, cancer, and Ebola. They certainly have the brains to be great scientists and problem-solvers, but, for now, they're also just kids. Since the event's inception in 2010, brilliant young people have displayed their enterprising spirits and award-winning projects at the annual White House Science Fair at the invitation of President Obama himself. On Wednesday, a group of 130 students from more than 30 states attended the final fair of Obama's administration, and, in doing so, showed us all why the White House Science Fair is so important.
"If we invite the team that wins the Super Bowl to the White House, we need to invite some science fair winners as well," Obama said in a statement to reporters this week. "It's hard to describe just how impressive these young people are."
One student wanted to figure out a way to help an Ethiopian pen pal get reliable water and electricity, so she developed a low-cost renewable energy device for intercoastal waterways. A group of three designed a robot to clear the debris from the rails of the New York City subway, and according to a White House press statement, six girl scouts introduced the "Eco Bin" that dissolves styrofoam so it doesn't take 500 years to decompose in an landfill.
This year's impressive list of budding scientists seems endless. But while the event showcases some of the most interesting and camera-ready projects, it serves, more importantly, as a symbol of of what all American schoolchildren can achieve.
That's why the White House Science Fair, just one tenet of Obama's Educate to Innovate initiative, which aims to improve the math and science achievement of all American students, is so important and so vital. The initiative is dedicated to expanding the scope of proven STEM education programs across the country, preparing teachers to teach STEM effectively, bolstering federal investments in STEM, and more.
"We belong on the cutting edge of innovation," Obama said in a statement this week. " ... We're a nation of tinkerers, and dreamers, and believers in a better tomorrow."
The White House Science Fair does more than just give some of America's best and brightest another chance to shine. It inspires all kids, their parents, and their teachers to aim higher — and it reminds policymakers how important it is to invest in our kids and in our future.


I don't know about you, but to me, that screamed rice krispie treat. Since Amber is way stylish, I felt the need to take it to the next level and get a little fancy.
So I googled "classy rice krispie treats" and ran head-on into these watermelon shaped beauts.
I knew I needed to make them.
It's super easy- there is no change in flavor, it's just a matter of using a circular pan and food coloring to make the watermelon shape. Don't judge the fact that it isn't perfect. I did the best I could. And one reason I will never be a food blogger or a famous crafty person is that I felt 0% pressure to make this a perfect presentation.
So that's after I turned them out of the pans. Sorry that there aren't more "middle of the process" pictures, but if you've ever made these, you know why. If you stop to snap a shot in the middle of mixing melted marshmallows and cereal, you pay a hefty price in the currency of a sticky mess.
I went ahead and sliced them into triangles and added tiny chocolate chips as the seeds. Adorable, yes?
And then. THEN. LoraLynn responded to my tweet about classy rice krispie treats and she said what I meant was salted brown butter rice krispie treats.
These words. I did not know they even went together. But oh do they. The flavor is unique and just noticeable enough that people celebrate. That's them on the left- just in front of the salsa and to the left of the watermelon.
I was able to make both of these recipes – two circles of watermelon and a 9×13 of the salted brown butter – with two 10oz bags of mini-marshmellows and one of those huge boxes of rice krispies.
Have any fun rice krispie recipes to share? I've got a box of cereal left and 1 1/2 bags of mini-marshmellows. Planning on making plain ol' treats for small group tonight unless you've got a better idea….

Ben Konosky wrote some Arduino source code to allow an Arduino with Ethernet Shield to connect to the CheerLights API (via ThingSpeak) and adjust the color of a ChiftBrite LED module. Ben's trick was to get all of the libraries to fit on the Arduino's file space. This code is highly reusable and should make it easy for those that are making CheerLights with ShiftBrite lights. Ben's code is available now on GitHub and more information can be found on his "Little Piece of the Web" blog.


Saul's turn to Christ also led to a turn of the tide of persecution against the early Church. Yet, this was at his personal cost. He was now the one being persecuted, hunted down like a prey.
It is not clear from this passage how long Saul had spent in Damascus. In Galatians 1:11-24, Saul wrote of this time. He went away into Arabia for a while, then returned to Damascus and stayed 3 years.
What was Saul doing in the 3 years? Verse 22 says he was proclaiming and proving that Jesus is the Christ. And when the non-Christian Jews wanted to kill Saul, Saul's disciples hatched an escape plan for him at night by lowering him in a basket through a window. So in those 3 years, Saul made disciples! He must have been teaching them about Christ. Some of them may have been the fruit of his public witness. Thank God for these disciples who were willing to risk their lives to rescue Saul, and came up with an effective escape plan.
As we become disciples of Christ, the natural outflow is that we too disciple others to become disciples of Christ, and publicly witness to Christ. It's never too early to do these.
After those 3 years, Saul escaped from Damascus to Jerusalem. There, he tried to join the church, but they were afraid of him, because he was still known as the persecutor of Christians. Thank God for Barnabas, the son of encouragement, who vouched for him as a true Christian. How do? Barnabas recounted Saul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus; he must have mentioned Ananias as an eyewitness and who prayed for Saul. Barnabas recounted how Saul had spent 3 years publicly proclaiming Christ in Damascus. Only then did the Jerusalem church accept Saul. There, Saul spent time with apostle Peter and James (Jesus' brother).
Saul did not cease preaching in Jerusalem. Instead, he went about preaching Christ boldly. He argued with the Hellenist Jews over proving Jesus as the Christ. Soon enough, the Jews in Jerusalem wanted to kill him. I guess Saul is one of those guys whom people wanted to kill when they couldn't win the argument.
So the other Christians helped Saul escape back to his hometown Tarsus. And as a result of all this, verse 31 says the Church throughout Judea, Galilee and Samaria had peace for a time. The persecution of Christians slowed down. And God did this by turning the chief persecutor to Himself. The chief persecutor became the persecuted one.
This verse is also significant because by this time, Jesus' commission in Acts 1:8 was already fulfilled in Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria, such that the church could grow in these cities and regions. And this growth was because the Christians feared God, revered God, and the Holy Spirit comforted them through the challenges. The church grew despite persecution. The church grew despite peace. The most important thing is that the church reveres God. When the church reveres God, she lives according to what pleases God, she desires what God desires, she goes where God sends. And God the Spirit will empower her, comfort her, and go with her.
Whether in persecution or peace, are we revering God?

Please support my work as a reader-funded journalist! As of September 2018, I'm currently trying to raise $2500 (£2000) to support my writing and campaigning on Guantánamo and related issues over the next three months of the Trump administration.
Updated for the seventh time between September and November 2018 (with this first part updated on September 11, 2018, the 17th anniversary of the terrorist attacks that led, four months later, to the profoundly ill-advised opening of the prison at Guantánamo Bay), this definitive Guantánamo prisoner list was first published in March 2009, and subsequently updated from four parts to six (see Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5 and Part 6). I first updated it on January 1, 2010, and again on July 12, 2010, and I updated it for the third time at the start of June 2011, to mark the fourth anniversary of the start of my almost daily publication of articles about Guantánamo. That update also included previously unseen photos from the classified military files released by WikiLeaks, on which I worked as a media partner. It was updated for the fourth time on the first anniversary of WikiLeaks' release of "The Guantánamo Files," and was updated for the fifth time on March 7, 2014, five years after its first publication — an update that contained more photos from the files released by WikiLeaks. The sixth update in October 2016 contained additional photos, as well as important information about the status of the 61 prisoners still held at the time.
Please note that Part 2 covers ISN numbers (prisoner numbers) 134-268, Part 3 covers 269-496, Part 4 covers 497-661, Part 5 covers 662-928 and Part 6 covers 929-10029.
The definitive prisoner list is a key element of my ongoing work (now in its 13th year) calling for the closure of the US prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and telling the stories of the men held there. The first fruit of my initial research was my book The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America's Illegal Prison, in which I told the story of the prison at Guantánamo Bay, established, for the first time, a chronology explaining where and when the prisoners were seized, told the stories of around 450 of these prisoners, and provided a context for the circumstances in which the remainder of the prisoners were captured.
Since May 2007, I have written over 2,200 articles about Guantánamo, expanding on and updating my initial work, providing research, analysis and commentary, as well as regularly campaigning to get the prison closed — particularly via the Close Guantánamo campaign I established in 2012 with the US attorney Tom Wilner, and We Stand With Shaker, established in 2014 with the activist Joanne MacInnes, which played a part in securing the release of Shaker Aamer, the last British resident in the prison, in October 2015.
Along the way, I have covered the stories of the 339 prisoners released from Guantánamo since June 2007 — 142 under George W. Bush, 196 under Barack Obama, and just one under Donald Trump — in unprecedented depth. I have also covered the stories of the 30 prisoners charged in Guantánamo's military commissions (although only eight men have been convicted, and several of those convictions have been overturned on appeal), and I also covered the men's habeas corpus petitions in detail from 2008 to 2011, until they were disgracefully shut down by appeals court judges in Washington, D.C.
In President Obama's last years, I assiduously covered the Periodic Review Boards, convened to assess the cases of 64 men who had not been approved for release or recommended for trials by an earlier review process, the Guantánamo Review Task Force. The PRB process began in November 2013, and resulted in 38 men being approved for release (of whom 36 were released before Obama left office), while 26 others had their ongoing imprisonment upheld.
As a result of my work over the last twelve and a half years, this is the most comprehensive list ever published of the 779 prisoners who have been held by the US military at Guantánamo, providing details of the 729 prisoners who have been released (and the dates of their release), the nine men who have died, the one man transferred to the US mainland for a trial, and the 40 prisoners who are still held (including five men approved for release), as well as those designated for prosecution or ongoing imprisonment without charge or trial.
It is my hope, as it has been since I established this prisoner list nine and a half years ago, that this project will provide an invaluable research tool for those seeking to understand how it came to pass that the government of the United States turned its back on domestic and international law, establishing torture as official US policy, and holding men without charge or trial neither as prisoners of war, protected by the Geneva Conventions, nor as criminal suspects to be put forward for trial in a federal court, but as "illegal enemy combatants."
I also hope that it provides a compelling explanation of how that same government, under the leadership of George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld, established a prison in which the overwhelming majority of those held — at least 93 percent of the 779 men and boys imprisoned in total — were either completely innocent people, seized as a result of dubious intelligence or sold for bounty payments, or Taliban foot soldiers, recruited to fight an inter-Muslim civil war that began long before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and that had nothing to do with al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden or international terrorism.
And finally, as Guantánamo remains open under Donald Trump (after Obama failed to close it, despite promising to do so on his second day in office), I hope that it also provides useful information for those still seeking to close Guantánamo, and to bring to an end this bleak chapter in American history.

I am fundrasing for my elder brother (Mihir) who is just 23 years old and has gone into coma due to Cerebral Infarction (Blood clot in Brain which stops the flow of Oxygen). People from the above age group rarely suffer from this and hence he has been able to survive the stroke because of his young age.
He is currently in a completley paralyzed state with a diagnosis of Posterior Circulation Brainstem Stroke and Locked In syndrome. I strongly urge you to help him in his fight so that he can recover soon and lead a normal life again. This happened just after a few days of cracking the exam for IIT Bombay for his Post-Graduation, sadly.
Rs.25 Lacs have already been spent in the last three months on medical treatment, we are in need of Rs.6 Lacs to keep the current treatment going on.
Description: Mihir is a 23 year old passionate Auto-mobile Designer who is crazy about cars and bikes. He is a brilliant cook and loves to play football (Real Madrid being his favourite team). He is currently in his last year of college and plans a bike trip to Ladhak after he graduates.

Wade Miquelon (born October 28, 1964) is an American business executive and current CEO of Jo-Ann Stores. He was previously an executive at Procter & Gamble and Walgreens.

Education
Miquelon received a Bachelor of Science degree in civil engineering from Purdue University in 1987 and a Masters of Business Administration from the Olin Business School in 1989.

Career
Miquelon spent 16 years with Procter & Gamble, working at the company's headquarters in Cincinnati, as well as a combined 12 years at their international offices in Bangkok, Singapore, and Geneva. In Geneva, he served as the general manager and head of finance for Western Europe, a P&G division responsible for 30% of total P&G's sales. In 2006, he joined Tyson Foods, where he was executive vice president and CFO.

In June 2008, Miquelon joined Walgreens as senior vice president and CFO and was promoted to executive vice president in July 2009. While at Walgreens, Miquelon was heavily involved in the acquisition of e-commerce company Drugstore.com, the purchase of the New York City drugstore chain Duane Reade, and the two-step transaction to acquire and merge with Alliance Boots. He, along with other executive leadership, was also involved in the development of a partnership with the blood-testing company Theranos. In The Dropout, a 2022 Hulu miniseries about Theranos, Miquelon is portrayed by Josh Pais. He left Walgreens in 2014 and filed a defamation suit over media reports of being pushed out due to miscalculating an earnings forecast.

In 2019, he was named president and CEO of Jo-Ann Stores after joining the retailer in 2016 as executive vice president and CFO.

Since 2013, Miquelon has been a member of the board of directors for Acadia Healthcare (ACHC). He is also a member of the National 4-H Council.

Personal life
In September 2009, he was arrested for DUI in Glencoe, Illinois, and again one year later in Kenilworth, Illinois. Neither arrest resulted in a conviction.

Knowing where you're at in your menstrual cycle and when to expect your next period gives you a sense of control over your life. So wouldn't it be great if there were an easy and effective way to keep track of your cycle – a period calculator, for example?
An online period tracker app allows you to control your periods rather than letting them control you. Being aware of your cycle's ups and downs makes you feel more clued up and at ease with the changes happening to your body and moods throughout your whole period.
And that means you can prepare for them. You'll never have that 'when is my period due?' panic because you have an ongoing period calendar that means you're constantly in the know.
Using your tracker regularly enables you to notice patterns in your cycle. That means you can stock up on pads and be prepared at the right time. It also serves as a period calendar that helps you to predict the timing and duration of your periods. That's immensely useful information. Not only does it help you understand your body and mood changes, but also when to expect them while alerting you to changes in your cycle that could mean you need a check-up with your doctor.
If you get PMS, a tracker will let you know when to expect the symptoms and to avoid too much stress around that time. If you typically get a heavy flow at the start of your period you'll know what days of the month to be equipped with plenty of Saba® Ultra Invisible Ultra Thin with Wings when you're out and about.
Choosing the right period tracker for you depends on your cycle, your lifestyle and your priorities in using it. Apart from trackers with a basic calendar programme, you can get ones with a symptom tracking system, enabling you to log and predict symptoms like cramps and breast tenderness, and to schedule alerts. Some period trackers enable you to log specifics in your flow like heavy bleeding, changes in color and spotting. These are useful for knowing what's normal for you and for predicting what comes next in your cycle while alerting you to changes that may mean a check-up is required. A tracker can provide you with essential information to take to a doctor, should you need medical advice.
Other trackers can predict up to three future cycles, enabling you to plan ahead – especially useful if you are scheduling holidays, nights out and trip away. There are also tracker apps that enable you to log your information on a chart that you can print out and take to your doctor when you have a gynecological exam. Using a tracker means you can keep a check off when you are at your most fertile, whether you're trying to get pregnant or to avoid it. And there are even trackers with a community feature where you can share updates and concerns with other users and feel more supported.

Q: How can I solve this query in sql server? Sql Fiddle example
I have this table structure:
    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `client` (
  `id` int(6) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `name` varchar(200),
  `balance` decimal NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
INSERT INTO `client` (`id`, `name`, `balance`) VALUES
  ('1', 'Pepito', '500');

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `balance_Movements` (
  `id` int(6) unsigned NOT NULL,
  `clientId` int(6),
  `movementType` varchar(200),
  `import` decimal NOT NULL,
  `dateMovement` datetime,
  PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
) DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;
INSERT INTO `balance_Movements` (`id`, `clientid`, `movementType`, `import`, `dateMovement`) VALUES
  ('1', '1', 'payment', '50', '2018/05/11'),
  ('2', '1', 'refund', '25.05', '2018/05/10'),
  ('3', '1', 'refund', '60', '2018/04/06'),
  ('4', '1', 'payment', '100', '2018/04/03');

Client has at the start : 500€ --> so the declare variable will be like this:
declare @total_balance as decimal;
set @total_balance = (select balance from client where id = 1);

Result
------
500

I need to change after the result of @total_balance, taking the value for the last row:
Example:
Table_balance_Movements
------------------------

    Total
    -----
    450
    475.05
    535.05
    435.05

Explanation:
450 --> The client start with 500, so if the type of movement is payment I need to substract the balance of client to the import movement, and save the data in  @total_balance to use it later = 500 - 50 = 450
475.05 --> I get the value for @total_balance and sum 25.05 because in this line the type of movement is refund = 450 + 25.05 =   475.05
535.05 --> the same thing, I get the value from the @total_balance variable and see what type of movement is and substract or sum the import = 475.05 + 60 = 535.05
435.05 --> 535.05 - 100 =   435.05
I want to do something similar to this concept:
  declare @total_balance as decimal;
set @total_balance = (select balance from client where id = 1);

select (case when movementType = 'payment' then (@total_balance = @total_balance - import)
             when movementType = 'refund' then (@total_balance = @total_balance + import)  end) as total
from balance_Movements;

it would be possible? thanks

A: You can solve this with the cumulative sum window functions.  The following will work in SQL Server and MySQL 8+
select c.*,
       (c.balance +
        sum(case when bm.movement_type = 'payment' then - import
                 when bm.movement_type = 'refund' then import
            end) over (partition by c.id order by bm.datemovement)
       ) as net_balance
from client c join
     balance_movements bm
     on bm.clientid = c.id

A: You could just add the sum of refunds and subtract the sum of payments like this:
SELECT 500 +
(SELECT SUM(import) FROM balance_Movements WHERE movementType = 'refund')
- (SELECT SUM(import) FROM balance_Movements WHERE movementType = 'payment') AS total

Result: 435.05

A: I think the simplest way is using SUM with condition aggregate function window function to get accumulate the add with balance
SELECT c.balance +SUM(CASE WHEN movementType = 'payment' THEN - import
                           WHEN movementType = 'refund' THEN  import
                      ELSE 0 END
            ) OVER(ORDER BY b.id)   Total
FROM client c
JOIN balance_Movements b on c.id = b.clientid

But if your dbms didn't support  window function, you can try to use correctly subquery in select
SELECT c.balance +
(
    SELECT SUM(CASE WHEN movementType = 'payment' THEN - import
                            WHEN movementType = 'refund' THEN  import
                          ELSE 0 END)
    FROM balance_Movements bb
    WHERE bb.id <= b.id and b.clientid = bb.clientid
)  Total
FROM client c
JOIN balance_Movements b on c.id = b.clientid

sqlfiddle

A: Give this a shot...
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#balance_Movements', 'U') IS NOT NULL
BEGIN DROP TABLE #balance_Movements; END;

CREATE TABLE #balance_Movements (
    id INT NOT NULL,
    clientId INT,
    movementType VARCHAR (200),
    import DECIMAL (9, 2) NOT NULL,
    dateMovement DATETIME,
    PRIMARY KEY (id)
);
INSERT INTO #balance_Movements (id, clientid, movementType, import, dateMovement) VALUES
  ('1', '1', 'payment', '50', '2018/05/11'),
  ('2', '1', 'refund', '25.05', '2018/05/10'),
  ('3', '1', 'refund', '60', '2018/04/06'),
  ('4', '1', 'payment', '100', '2018/04/03');

--=============================================================

DECLARE @_start DECIMAL(9,2) = 500;

SELECT
    *,
    running_total = @_start - SUM(CASE WHEN bm.movementType = 'refund' THEN -1 * bm.import ELSE bm.import END) OVER (PARTITION BY bm.clientId ORDER BY bm.dateMovement desc)
FROM
    #balance_Movements bm;

Comprehensive scoping of the existing government funded behaviour support system in Victoria and also an overview of the private behaviour support services system to identify information around the target groups, referral pathways, practice frameworks, staff qualifications and interrelationships between behavioural support and other services being provided to the individual from the broader disability, health or education systems.
Development of an Evaluation Framework informed by preliminary consultations with key stakeholders.
A Situation Analysis to establish a knowledge base of contemporary best practice and innovative approaches to addressing the needs of people with ASD and mapping of the service system. The analysis was informed by a literature and documentation review, consultations with service system and policy stakeholders, an online service system scoping survey and a desktop analysis of quantitative program data.
Case studies in four locations to explore the effectiveness and impact of the Program. Consultations were conducted with consumers (families and carers) and ASPECT program staff as part of the case study analysis along with broader system stakeholders and referrers.
HOI presented the Department with a Final Evaluation Report which included a detailed assessment of the findings of the evaluation of the BSP and scoping of the behaviour support service system in Victoria with associated recommendations and opportunities for improvement. It also included an assessment of the Victorian model compared with other behaviour support service models in place at the time.


In 2017 a legend left, Noah Salasnek. We decided to give a wink to the snowboard world by taking out this board, you will notice that the design of this split is getting close to his board with the ark. Noah scored the snowboard. That's how we wanted to pay tribute to him ..
It is an atypical splitboard available in 147, flat camber with a slight rocker in nose & tail.
At the climb, this size allows conversions ultra easy, it's a toy during the descent with a precision out of the ordinary, it forgives all the mistakes unimaginable, it's really a rocket in the powder.
It is aptly named, inspired by surfing, our desire was to release a wide short board to play everywhere & slash the smallest bump of snow.
This board is going to make you crazy. The trend is to shorten the boards while keeping the width, the BARREL Split covers a lot of jigs.
BARREL construction is in Full vertical laminated wood core from sustainable forests (poplar).
Shape design & mold is unique to STONE SNOWBOARDS.
Its 7200 sintered base is almost completely black for an easy repair, on the topsheet we use biax fiber & the finishing is a glossy varnish.
We opted for the ULTRA-CLIPS Karakoram, because we do not skimp on quality, our key word remains unchanged since 2015, the best quality at the fairest price, the barrel fully meets the expectations of a surfer of POW.
Exist also in classic shape !

8 Hellish Holiday Stories That Will Make You Want to Stay Home
July 17, 2015 by Catherine Forth
We all have stories of annoying flight delays, lost baggage and mixed up hotel reservations that we relay like travel nightmares to friends and family. Put in perspective, these petty snafus are mere inconveniences compared to some real "worst vacation ever" tales out there. Of course, we would never really advocate forgoing the adventure of travel just because mishaps can happen. After all, accidents occur at home, too. But these eight hellish holiday stories will make you shudder. While everyone lived to tell the tale, these are experiences nobody wants on their bucket list.
1. Beware of Lofty Thrills
Sidney Good and Alexis Fairchild were two 17 year olds from Indiana vacationing in Panama City, Florida on July 1, 2013. Like many fun-seeking tourists, they thought they'd treat themselves to a parasailing ride. There were high winds, so the operator tried to lower the girls down to safety. However, the rope snapped and the girls were left free-floating at the mercy of the gale, like a feather in the breeze. Onlookers watched in horror as the screaming girls headed straight for an apartment building. They crashed into a balcony, ricocheted onto another building, bounced onto some power-lines then slammed into a parking lot, shattering a windshield upon landing. Sidney suffered a cracked vertebrae and some brain trauma that has led to permanent vision impairment. Alex broke her back, had head trauma and suffered serious lacerations. The incident sparked outrage over lax safety regulations for water sports companies.

2. Eeriest Earache Ever
This one might mess with your head. A 27 year old British tourist, Rochelle Harris, took a vacation to Peru in 2013. On the flight back, she experienced a strong headache with shooting pain down her face. She heard strange crackling noises and had some discharge coming from her ear. When she got home, she went to her doctor, who assumed it was a run-of-the-mill ear infection. However, upon closer examination, it was discovered that she had eight wriggling maggots lodged in her ear canal. She recalled walking through a fly swarm while hiking in Peru and swatting at a pestering one that was buzzing near her head, but didn't think much of it. It turns out a "New World screwworm fly" (Cochliomyia hominivorax) had gotten in there and laid some eggs. The larvae hatched the next day and started munching a half-inch hole in Harris's ear canal. Egads, flesh-eating worms were making a meal of her inner ear! Can any of these other hellish holiday stories top this?

3. Wrong Place, Wrong Time
What are the odds? Once is too much. Twice is unheard of. But three times? British couple Jason and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence may just be the world's unluckiest twosome – or perhaps the luckiest, depending on how you look at it. They have been at the scene of the three highest-profile terrorist attacks of recent times. They were in New York City during the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center. They happened to be on a London double-decker bus during the 7/7 suicide bombings which killed 52 people and injured 700 more. The next year they took a holiday in Mumbai, when terrorists went on a shooting rampage, leaving 164 people dead. Thankfully, they weren't personally injured in any of these incidents, but their bad timing is uncanny.

4. Lost in the Amazon
In 1981, 22 year old Yossi Ghinsberg had wrapped up two years of Israeli military service and decided to go on an extended backpacking adventure in South America. He met up with three other travelers, and the four of them naively embarked on an ill-fated journey through the Bolivian rainforest. Weeks in, the young men found themselves tired, hungry and hopelessly lost. Tensions led to the group splitting in two. A makeshift raft Ghinsberg and his buddy had made crashed down a waterfall, separating the two. Lost and now completely alone in the Amazon, Ghinsberg grew even more emaciated, desperate and despondent. He survived encounters with a jaguar, fire ants, a flood, venomous snakes and more. As it happened, his rafting partner had survived the waterfall incident and had been searching for his lost friend on a Bolivian boat. After some time, determining that their efforts were futile, the search party decided to turn back. Out of all the places in the Amazon jungle to randomly turn their boat around, they picked the very spot where Ghinsberg had collapsed unconscious. He turned this harrowing tale of survival into the bestselling book, Lost in the Jungle. Sadly, the two other backpackers were never seen again and are presumed dead.

5. There's a Reason They Make You Sign a Waver
Bungee jumping is an adventurous thrill that many travelers seek around the world. One of the most scenic spots to do this is in Zambia, where jumping off the Victoria Falls Bridge against the backdrop of the magnificent waterfall is a daredevil's dream. That dream turned into a worst nightmare for 22 year old Australian Erin Langworthy back in 2012. Yep, the cord snapped, and she went free-falling 364 ft (111 m) into the croc-infested Zambezi River below. She blacked out and was swept down the raging river, ankles still bound by straps, and then managed to cling to rocks for about 40 minutes before staff could rescue her. It took over five hours to reach the nearest clinic in Zimbabwe. Remarkably, she only suffered a partially collapsed lung and head-to-toe bruising. Two weeks later, she returned home with one of the most hellish holiday stories imaginable.

6. Vow Never to Return
A Swiss couple took a dream vacation to the Maldives to renew their marriage vows at a swanky resort. The lovely ceremony went off without a hitch, until clips of the nuptials were posted on YouTube and people who spoke the local language pointed out that the celebrant was actually pelting them with insults. Rather than delivering a blessing, the smiling man was hurling insults such as "infidel" and "swine" at the happy couple, assuming they would be oblivious to his prank. Not only did the hotel apologize profusely, the Maldives' foreign minister expressed his shock and dismay at the incident.

7. Spelunking Gone Wrong
Caving can be a fun sport for the family, but certain basic safety precautions are necessary. In June 1990, widower Gary Lutes took his sons, 13 year old Buddy and 9 year old Tim, on a spelunking adventure to West Virginia's New Trout Cave. He was prepared with a pack of food, water and spare headlamps, but he foolishly left it behind when they reached "The Maze", an area of jagged rocks that was a little tight to maneuver with the pack. He thought they'd backtrack to retrieve the supplies before their current headlamps burnt out. Unfortunately, the boys' headlamps went dark shortly thereafter, and their attempts to backtrack to the pack got them lost. Lutes' headlamp then died and the family was plunged into total darkness. For five horrific days, they had no food, no water and no light. They began coughing up cave dust and hallucinating with dehydration. Luckily, someone noticed that their car had been parked for several days and notified authorities. The rescue team said the family broke the cardinal rules of caving: always carry three sources of light each, and always tell someone where you are going and when you will return.

8. Floating Petri Dishes
This one's not about one specific holiday from hell, as plagues of norovirus impact countless cruises. From 2010 to 2015, Celebrity Cruises and Princess Cruises have reported 15 outbreaks each while Royal Caribbean and Holland America have reported 10 each. Granted, only a fraction of passengers and crew are affected when you factor in the hundreds of thousands people on the high seas these days. But if you happen to be on a beleaguered ship or, god forbid, afflicted with this highly contagious gastro-bug yourself, you'll no doubt be telling hellish holiday stories for years to come. The vomiting and diarrhea symptoms are bad enough on land, but being stuck on a boat on the rolling ocean certainly doesn't help matters. The wildfire speed at which these outbreaks spread throughout a ship is alarming.
