<content:encoded>&lt;![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&#39;In 2040, as a growing global population takes the planet to breaking point, the New United Nations met to discuss the crisis, and Resolution 12/38/17a was issued. It dictates that every human on earth is not allowed to live beyond 80 years of age.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A media executive popularised the cull by broadcasting a weekly chat show. As family and friends watch live in the studio, a panel of celebrities judged the volunteers’ confessions, and the best one wins a £10m inheritance pot to give away. Both A.I. and an anonymous group of humans, known only as The Council, checked the validity of what was being said.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One evening, a contestant states he had no family and friends, but still wants to play. What started as an apparently simple confession, becomes a global manhunt after The Council trigger the Exodus Protocol for the first time ever.&#39;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;figure data-trix-attachment=&#39;{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;k9xnk8s67facw9pwqal2dzdf6ogw&quot;,&quot;filesize&quot;:2089932,&quot;height&quot;:3346,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://res.cloudinary.com/wellfleet/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto,w_700/k9xnk8s67facw9pwqal2dzdf6ogw&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:350}&#39; data-trix-content-type=&quot;image/png&quot; data-trix-attributes=&#39;{&quot;presentation&quot;:&quot;gallery&quot;}&#39; class=&quot;attachment attachment--preview&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://res.cloudinary.com/wellfleet/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto,w_700/k9xnk8s67facw9pwqal2dzdf6ogw&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; height=&quot;3346&quot;&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;attachment__caption&quot;&gt; &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt; ]]&gt;</content:encoded>

<content:encoded>&lt;![CDATA[ &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BEHIND EVERY WINDOW&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Have you ever looked at a building and wondered who lives there, and what their life is like?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Marieke De Jong (Mari to her friends) has been a canal boat driver in Amersfoort for 10 years, passing the iconic de Vries building twice a day; occasionally stopping to pick up a passenger. She often saw people at the window and wondered who they were. Little did she know until, one day, she spoke to Mrs de Beek. After that, she knew she just had to find out.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;figure data-trix-attachment=&#39;{&quot;contentType&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;filename&quot;:&quot;ekwkpf7bpaycbwivi8xki379h952&quot;,&quot;filesize&quot;:265330,&quot;height&quot;:1749,&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://res.cloudinary.com/wellfleet/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto,w_700/ekwkpf7bpaycbwivi8xki379h952&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:350}&#39; data-trix-content-type=&quot;image/jpeg&quot; data-trix-attributes=&#39;{&quot;presentation&quot;:&quot;gallery&quot;}&#39; class=&quot;attachment attachment--preview&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;https://res.cloudinary.com/wellfleet/image/upload/f_auto,q_auto,w_700/ekwkpf7bpaycbwivi8xki379h952&quot; width=&quot;350&quot; height=&quot;1749&quot;&gt;&lt;figcaption class=&quot;attachment__caption&quot;&gt; &lt;/figcaption&gt;&lt;/figure&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt; ]]&gt;</content:encoded>
