A:Berlusconi's four-year prison sentence, which was shortened to a single year of either house arrest or community service without compensation was due to begin in the middle of October in 2013. In mid-October he informed the court that he preferred to serve the sentence by doing community service. Because of bureaucracy in the legal court system, it was however expected his one-year-long full-time community service would only start in around April 2014. On 19 October, the Milan appeal court ruled that Berlusconi's public office ban should be reduced from five to two years; which was later also confirmed by the Court of Cassation. The court imposed this public office ban, however this did not change the fact that Berlusconi according to the "Severino law" received a ban preventing him from running as a candidate in legislative elections for a prolonged six-year period, which effectively superseded the shorter court imposed public office ban. Berlusconi began his community service at a Catholic care home centre on 9 May 2014, where he is required to work four hours a week for a year with elderly dementia patients. B:Does the passage make it sound like Italy has set up a system in which all court-ordered community service is compensated at a nominal rate, perhaps to help minor-offenders avoid the difficulty of explaining a gap in their employment history when re-integrating? Answer: camp
A:Berlusconi was expected to start serving his four-year prison sentence in mid-October 2013 (it was reduced to one year, but which could be re-extended if the billionaire allowed his nominal court fines to go unpaid), and it would consist of either house arrest or social community service for the statutory minimum wage. In mid-October he informed the court that he preferred to serve the sentence by doing community service. Because of bureaucracy in the legal court system, it was however expected his one-year-long full-time community service would only start in around April 2014.

B:Despite the fact imprisonment or even just enforcing house arrest would no doubt be even more expensive, could political pundits make the genuine argument that their government shouldn't be spending taxpayer money to compensate a billionaire criminal for what should have been volunteer work?

A:Laryngeal diphtheria can lead to a characteristic swollen neck and throat, or "bull neck". The swollen throat is often accompanied by a serious respiratory condition, characterized by a brassy or "barking" cough, stridor, hoarseness, and difficulty breathing; and historically referred to variously as "diphtheritic croup", "true croup", or sometimes simply as "croup". Diphtheritic croup is extremely rare in countries where diphtheria vaccination is customary. As a result, the term "croup" nowadays most often refers to a viral illness that produces unrelated and milder respiratory symptoms. B:Is a child likely to be in more discomfort if they are suffering from laryngeal diphtheria rather than croup? Answer:
