  • Balance of power

    John Sanu, who goes by the nickname B.B., does push-ups on the beach at River No. 2, outside Freetown, Sierra Leone, Sunday, Nov. 18, 2012.

Election results were still being compiled on Sunday.(AP Photo/Rebecca Blackwell)

  • Staying power

The traditional folktale tells the love story of the daughter of a courtesan condemned to death for spurning the advances of a malicious official but saved by the upper-class aristocrat who truly loves her.

  • Hold on

    A small dog becomes stuck near a sea wall during high winds in Helensburgh, Scotland, as the UK is braced for another day of deluges and flooding as heavy rain sweeps across the country. Don't worry - a good samaritan rescued him moments later. (PA)

  • Built strong

    A couple smokes a cigarette on their house balcony, below right, in Madrid, Thursday, Nov. 22, 2012. Spain's real estate bubble that supercharged the economy for more than a decade burst in 2008 and borrowing costs have risen to near unsustainable levels despite their efforts to cut spending and reform their labor markets. Spaniards are suffering strong austerity measures, including budget cuts and plans to partly privatize some of their country's cherished national health service. The country is trying to avoid following Greece, Ireland, Portugal and Cyprus in having to ask for an international financial bailout. (AP Photo/Daniel Ochoa de Olza)

  • Full force
