Summarize this article in one sentence.
The group of fans who towed it more than 2,000 miles around France in the summer say it is now beyond repair.
After a Christmas party in the vehicle over the festive period, they plan to get rid of it in the new year.
They offered it to a museum, but it was rejected, so they are now considering entering it into a demolition derby.
The 20-year-old Green And White Army (GAWA) caravan has its own Facebook page and attracted international media attention at the Euros as it travelled around France.
It went from Cherbourg in the north-west to the southern coastal city of Nice, before heading north again to Paris, via Lyon.
To save money, the fans tried to avoid toll roads so ended up driving almost 3,000 miles.
One of the supporters, Lee Brooks, said: "We offered it to the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum, but they didn't want it. They said it wasn't old enough for a museum.
"It's a pity because this caravan certainly has a bit of history to it."
The vehicle needed running repairs during the journey through France, especially after negotiating the twisting roads of the Alps.
On a number of occasions, the supporters considered abandoning it and using hotels. However, the caravan became a magnet for attention wherever they went so they stuck with it.
One of the fans involved, Noel Cowan, said: "We had Austrians, Germans and Poles in the caravan with us at various times. We had a BBQ with them all.
"It was unreal - memories that we'll never forget."
The fans' plan had been to keep the caravan for the next two years in case Northern Ireland qualify for the World Cup in Russia, but they have now reluctantly accepted that will not be possible.
"It wouldn't even make it to the ferry at Larne, never mind Moscow," said Mr Cowan.
Summary:
|
A caravan from Northern Ireland which became a social media sensation at the European Football championships in France may soon be demolished.

It was generally felt in the court that the Emperor should marry and produce heirs as soon as possible. Various potential brides were considered: Princess Elisabeth of Modena, Princess Anna of Prussia and Princess Sidonia of Saxony. Although in public life Franz Joseph was the unquestioned director of affairs, in his private life his formidable mother still wielded crucial influence. Sophie wanted to strengthen the relationship between the Houses of Habsburg and Wittelsbach--descending from the latter house herself--and hoped to match Franz Joseph with her sister Ludovika's eldest daughter, Helene ("Nene"), who was four years the Emperor's junior. However, Franz Joseph fell deeply in love with Nene's younger sister Elisabeth ("Sisi"), a beautiful girl of fifteen, and insisted on marrying her instead. Sophie acquiesced, despite her misgivings about Sisi's appropriateness as an imperial consort, and the young couple were married on 24 April 1854 in St. Augustine's Church, Vienna. Their marriage would prove to be an unhappy one; though Franz Joseph was passionately in love with his wife, the feeling was not mutual and Sisi never truly acclimatised to life at court, frequently having disagreements with the imperial family. Their first daughter Sophie died as an infant, and their only son Rudolf died by suicide in 1889 in the infamous Mayerling Incident. In 1885 Franz Joseph met Katharina Schratt, a leading actress of the Vienna stage, and she became his friend and confidante. This relationship lasted the rest of his life, and was--to a certain degree--tolerated by Sisi. Franz Joseph built Villa Schratt in Bad Ischl for her, and also provided her with a small palace in Vienna. Though their relationship lasted for thirty-four years, it remained platonic. The Empress was an inveterate traveller, horsewoman, and fashion maven who was rarely seen in Vienna. Sisi was obsessed about preserving her beauty, carrying out many bizarre routines and strenuous exercise, and as a result suffered from ill health. She was stabbed to death by an Italian anarchist in 1898 while on a visit to Geneva. A few days after the funeral, Robert of Parma wrote in a letter to his friend Tirso de Olazabal that "It was pitiful to look at the Emperor, he showed a great deal of energy in his immense pain, but at times one could see all the immensity of his grief." Franz Joseph never fully recovered from the loss. According to the future empress Zita of Bourbon-Parma he told his relatives: "You'll never know how important she was to me" or, according to some sources, "You will never know how much I loved this woman."

Write an article with the title: "Seeing Johannesburg Through Artists’ Eyes"
Article:
|
In the Ferreirasdorp section of Johannesburg, I passed a group of young men who had set up an informal carwash business with buckets of soapy water arranged by a curb, and as I turned a corner, there was Nelson Mandela.
Though Mandela died on Dec. 5, here he stood vividly rendered in layered steel cutouts, 34 years old, fresh and strong and in the pose of a boxer. He once had professional aspirations, and said the sweet science taught him about defense, attack and strategy, which he applied to law, politics and life in prison.
Unveiled two years ago, the 16-foot sculpture, called “Shadow Boxer,” is a lively piece with a great sense of energy and movement. The South African artist Marco Cianfanelli gave it a three-dimensional effect by layering painted-steel sheets in an image from a well-known 1952 photograph by Robert Gosani. The work is set in front of the Johannesburg magistrate court across the street from Chancellor House, where Mandela and his law, and later political, partner Oliver Tambo were young lawyers. Chancellor House, a privately owned corner office building, was itself restored in 2011 and has a timeline exhibition of the two partners’ time there.
The attractions have drawn visitors to a neighborhood that has a certain rough-around-the-edges look but is no longer so menacing. Since Mandela’s death, the sculpture has become something of a memorial with people laying flowers at its base.
The work speaks volumes: the young Mandela about to wage the fight of his life. It also shows how public art is helping to revivify urban Johannesburg, a seemingly implausible regeneration in this city of more than four million residents, which not that long ago seemed as though it was about to fall through the widening cracks of crime and dilapidation.
The art has helped foster a virtuous cycle: Color and beauty draw people; people promote security, which draws more people, and creates a bigger audience possibility for more art. The improvements have made Joburg cool again — and popular. A new market, the Sheds@1Fox, featuring South African-produced goods, is set to open in October about two blocks from Chancellor House. Johannesburg is now Africa’s most visited city, with 2.5 million international visitors in 2013, according to MasterCard’s annual survey.
“Art plays an incredibly important role in making people aware that the city is being reborn,” said Gerald Garner, a guide and author of two books, “Johannesburg Ten Ahead” and “Joburg Places.” “It’s one thing to fix pavements and plant trees, and doing those things make a difference. But art makes the city humane. It tells people who were excluded by the old order that they’re welcome. It tells stories of people who live here and celebrates the heroes.”
I lived in Johannesburg’s northern suburbs for three years in the early 1990s and have returned frequently ever since. I saw some of its worst days, when parts of its downtown grid began to feel like an urban dystopia. One of the emblematic events, what some may argue was the low point, actually involved public art, in the late 1990s when vagrants in once-beloved, then abandoned Oppenheimer Park, decapitated a sculpture of impalas and sold the heads as scrap metal.
To be clear, a good number of swaths of Johannesburg remain iffy. But the public art was a revelation for me, and after several days of exploring the city by foot and on public transit last July, I felt much more optimistic about its prospects. In the months since, the pace of positive change has even picked up.
My route was done in several walks, some on my own on the way to various appointments, and then with help from Mr. Garner and later still from a thoughtful 22-year-old artist named Jabulani Fakude whom I hired through a local company called MainStreetWalks (mainstreetwalks.co.za). It’s a good idea for visitors to get guides to navigate between some areas that remain sketchy.
A short walk from “Shadow Boxer,” the adjoining district, Newtown, has another popular sculpture of two other South African heroes, Walter and Albertina Sisulu, on Diagonal Street. The Sisulus, towering figures of the apartheid struggle, appear not as fighters but as elderly lovers and parents. The Johannesburg artist Marina Walsh, who installed the concrete sculpture in August 2009 after the city solicited proposals from artists, has the couple seated facing each other, their eyes locked in an affectionate gaze. The intention is to show them as equals. The Sisulus, who raised eight children, were married for 59 years, including Mr. Sisulu’s 25-year term as a prisoner on Robben Island, an austere prison off the shore of Cape Town. They’re exaggerated in scale; huge figures, squat and round, so as a viewer you’re almost like a grandchild looking at grandparents, and indeed, you see people moved to sit in their laps — something the artist is happy to see them do.
“I get an enormously warm response from people,” Ms. Walsh told me. “One Saturday I was cleaning off a mustache someone had drawn on Albertina’s lip. Some guy shouted, ‘What are you doing?’ He thought I was defacing her. I told him I was cleaning her and asked if he knew who they were. He said, ‘Yes, they’re my heroes!’”
Not every work is as accessible, and the heroes often don’t have names. As you leave Newtown via the landmark Queen Elizabeth Bridge, you quickly come upon “Fire Walker,” a collaboration between the renowned South African artists William Kentridge and Gerhard Marx. It’s set on a traffic island, and up close, the 36-foot work, erected with steel pieces, looks like a mass of exploded fragments. But like an Impressionist painting, the image is clearer farther away — that of a woman carrying a burning caldron on her head. It’s a sight you rarely see in Johannesburg now, these women with braai mealies (roast corn) that they carry with flames crackling atop their heads. The work is a tribute to the hard ways people scrabble together a living.
I wanted to visit Braamfontein, a precinct on the northern side of the city with two of South Africa’s major universities, the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of Johannesburg. It has some of the earliest major public artworks, including “Juta Street Trees,” nine large metal tree sculptures, and the “Eland,” a concrete sculpture of Africa’s largest antelope, which were installed in 2006 and 2007, respectively. The aesthetic upgrade has helped transform the student-dominated area, which even just four years ago still felt threatening, into a place with lively night life and a popular Saturday Neighbourgoods Market of artisan food, fabrics and jewelry.
Up the hill from Juta Street, in the university area, I went to the Constitutional Court of South Africa, the country’s highest court and itself a work of art both for its architecture and interior design. Set on Constitution Hill with views of city streets leading out toward the hilly and affluent northern suburbs, the court’s design was intended to embody the idea of traditional justice, the way elders would hear disputes before whole communities under a tree. The notion of transparency is embodied in its openness, the glass exterior. The interior pillars are erected at angles that are meant to suggest the branches of a tree, the public space where legal decisions were rendered. Wood carvings, skins and art are integrated into the interior and are also curated in exhibits.
Not all public art has official sanction, or is even legal for that matter. Wall murals have added vibrancy, too, though much of the city is still struggling to accommodate street artists who have plenty of urban wall space but face obstacles in getting permits; they consequently resort to “bombing,” or illegally painting on, buildings, and for their trouble will spend occasional nights in jail or have to resort to bribing the police to go away.
Mr. Fakude, the young street artist, does his work deep into the night, and moonlights by day giving walking tours for 250 rand, about $24, at 10.40 rand to the dollar — in my case, a graffiti tour of his and others’ work in the artsy Market Theater area on the western side of the city. Mr. Fakude’s work included one wall piece that was playful at a glance, a one-eyed cartoon character he’d invented, but that had a serious message that addressed the stark reality of crime and violence. So, too, did others. “We want to get the message across that drugs are not cool,” he said. It gave the ostensible illegality of the street artists’ work a certain irony, given the grass-roots appeal to nonviolent, cleaner living. It has gotten Mr. Fakude some attention, however. He was invited to paint murals in Berlin this year, though he told me recently that he was not able to travel there.
One place where murals are getting an official stamp of approval is one of Joburg’s most trendy and ambitious new places, the Maboneng Precinct, once a vast wasteland of disused industrial spaces and warehouses. In recent years, the 250-acre zone of reclaimed and repurposed industrial buildings has commissioned several dozen murals by artists from Berlin, Baltimore and elsewhere. In January, a 10-story mural was unveiled of “i am because we are.” The artist Rickey Lee Gorden, who goes by Freddy Sam, used the same photo as “Shadow Boxer,” the Mandela sculpture in Ferreirasdorp. The revitalization of Maboneng Precinct began in 2009 with Arts on Main, a complex of studios and galleries on Main Street. Indeed, the first public art work in the precinct was the word “Maboneng,” which is Sotho for “place of light” and was installed as text art on the Arts on Main rooftop.
Arts on Main’s success lifted Maboneng’s profile. Mr. Kentridge, arguably South Africa’s best-known living artist, was among the first to set up a studio. Five years hence, the area is a vibrant hive of artists’ lofts, mixed-use spaces, live theater, galleries, a landscaped bar-cafe and a boutique hotel called the 12 Decades, with a dozen rooms designed with artwork and artifacts to celebrate each decade in the life of the city, which started in 1886 after a gold rush.
Each building has a lighthouse design incorporated. There are 30 murals, with five more scheduled to be completed by year’s end. In addition to the murals, an old canal is being restored, its banks featuring life-size steel cutouts of people who made important contributions to the precinct.
One of the last areas I explored was the mining district in Johannesburg’s commercial center. The area is strewn with artifacts of mining accouterments as public art in a city built on mining. Here I found the happy postscript to the story of “Leaping Impalas,” the sculpture by Herman Wald in Oppenheimer Park that had been decapitated by vagrants in the 1990s. In 2002, new heads were fashioned and welded on, and the sculpture was installed in front of the headquarters of Anglo-American, one of the world’s largest mining companies. You can still see the markings on the necks, like scars that reflect the greater story of a city that is in the process of healing.

Senators call for Clinton testimony on Libya 'as soon as possible'
Several senators are urging the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to bring in Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify on the Libya terror attack in an open hearing "as soon as possible," expressing concern that months have passed without her testimony.
Committee Chairman John Kerry, D-Mass., on Friday announced that Clinton has agreed to testify before the end of the current session, noting that the State Department's internal review is nearly complete.
But amid claims that the hearing could be closed, the lawmakers who wrote to Kerry the same day made clear that they want her testimony to be public -- and they don't want it held up much longer.
"Nearly three months have passed since the terrorist attacks in Benghazi, yet we still have far more questions than answers about conditions in Benghazi prior to the attacks, the situation on the ground that night, and the administration's handling of its response to the attacks," they wrote.
"We recognize that the State Department's Accountability Review Board investigation is a useful tool, but it is no substitute for our own investigation into the circumstances surrounding the attacks."
The lawmakers included Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and Jim DeMint, R-S.C. They called for hearings to be scheduled this month.
Tuesday marks three months since the deadly attack in which four Americans were killed. Those three months have been punctuated by conflicting accounts about what warnings the administration may have been given in the run-up to the attack. Further, lawmakers continue to quarrel about U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Susan Rice's initial claim that the attack was effectively a protest spun out of control.
The administration has since walked back that claim, but questions remain about the true nature of the attack and why Rice initially used that characterization.
Clinton is expected to testify before two committees, with the other being the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, chairwoman of that committee, told Fox News on Saturday that Clinton's office confirmed she will testify on the House side in an open setting.
summary: Several senators are urging the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to bring in Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to testify on the Libya terror attack in an open hearing as soon as possible, expressing concern that months have passed without her testimony.
US pressure forestalls resignation of Palestinian PM
AFP / Getty Images file
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, left, talks to Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad at the United Nations in November 2012.
By Lawahez Jabari, Producer, NBC News
TEL AVIV -- Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad was expected to formally hand in his resignation Thursday night, but President Mahmoud Abbas, facing pressure from the United States to keep him from quitting, postponed the meeting, Palestinian sources said Friday.
Fayyad had offered his resignation in writing to Abbas following a rift between the two leaders over government policy and the handling of the economic crisis in the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
But during the G8 talks in London on Thursday, a State Department official said, "He is staying in his post, as far as I know."
"I think Abbas wanted to accept his resignation yesterday, but the surprise announcement to Mahmoud Abbas by the Americans was a strong message for Fayyad not to resign and a strong message to Abbas not to accept," said a source at Abbas' ruling Fatah party who did not want to be named because of the sensitivity of the issue.
Fatah is deeply critical of Fayyad, blaming him for unpopular economic policies – his proposed budget cuts and austerity measures have triggered widespread protests in the West Bank.
Fatah officials have even suggested that the president would be "happy" to see him go, while party officials "wanted him to leave a long time ago."
But Fayyad, a former World Bank official, enjoys wide support in the West – including in Washington, which is making coordinated efforts to revive Palestinian-Israeli peace negotiations and boost the struggling economy.
"I don't think Fatah realizes that Fayyad is the only Palestinian politician who enjoys wide support abroad from international donors," said a Western diplomat in Jerusalem who asked not to be named. The diplomat added that financial assistance could be halted abruptly if Fayyad exits the government because he has so much leverage with Washington, the Israelis and Europe.
Fayyad's institution-building drive in the West Bank had been "the single best thing" that had happened in the Palestinian territories in recent years, the diplomat said, adding that "the premier was also highly trusted by Israeli leaders."
A high-ranking European diplomat who did not want his name published told Reuters that Abbas had been under pressure to delay dealing with this resignation for at least two months to see how far the American initiative will reach.
President Obama and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas discuss Israeli construction of settlements in Palestinian territories and the future of Palestinian statehood.
Analysts said Fayyad's resignation would not have a direct effect on peace talks, but might impact the economic stability on which the process hinges.
"Fayyad never dealt with negotiations, security -- he only dealt with the economy," said Av Yissaharof, an Israeli analyst for Palestinian affairs.
"If the resignation is accepted, it will have an effect on the PA (Palestinian Authority) economy. Fayyad had excellent contacts and relations with Israel on the economy front and Abbas will be hurt due to Fayyad's excellent relationship with the West, and with the donors," he said.
But a Fatah official in the office of the president cautioned that any decision by Abbas to remove his prime minister would only occur with the dismissal of the entire government. He said the U.S. is "interfering with the PA" and wants to "limit Abbas' political role but underestimates his political influence."
Kerry, Abbas discuss reviving peace talks but offer no details

IN: Labelle is an American all-female singing group who were a popular vocal group of the 1960s and 1970s. The group was formed after the disbanding of two rival girl groups in the Philadelphia/Trenton areas, the Ordettes and the Del-Capris, forming as a new version of the former group, later changing their name to The Blue Belles (later Bluebelles). The founding members were Patti LaBelle (formerly Patricia Holt), Cindy Birdsong, Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash. As The Bluebelles, and later Patti LaBelle and the Bluebelles, the group found success with ballads in the doo-wop genre, most notably "Down the Aisle (The Wedding Song)", "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Over the Rainbow".
Following her departure from the Blue Belles, Cindy Birdsong enjoyed success as member of the Supremes, singing background on hits such as "Stoned Love". Birdsong prominently left the group in 1975, only sporadically recording music as a solo artist. The song, "(Can I Speak to You Before You Go To) Hollywood", from Pressure Cookin', was allegedly written by Hendryx as a response to Birdsong's departure, featuring each band member singing verses. Sarah Dash found some solo success after signing with Don Kirshner's label, with the disco single "Sinner Man". Dash eventually sang backup for the Rolling Stones and sung for Keith Richards' spinoff group X-pensive Winos. The more experimental Nona Hendryx has recorded in various genres including hard rock, hip-hop, house and new age, and charting with the singles, "Keep It Confidential" and "Why Should I Cry?" Patti LaBelle became an international solo superstar following Labelle's departure, recording crossover hits such as "New Attitude", "Stir It Up" and "On My Own", resulting in Grammy wins and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1991, Patti LaBelle reunited with Nona Hendryx and Sarah Dash on the track, "Release Yourself", from LaBelle's Grammy-winning album, Burnin. The trio reunited onstage at the Apollo Theater in 1991 to perform the song on LaBelle's second concert performance video while promoting the release of Burnin'. In addition to "Release Yourself", Hendryx and LaBelle composed the gospel-flavored ballad "When You've Been Blessed (Feels Like Heaven)". In 1995, the trio reunited again for the dance single, "Turn it Out", for the soundtrack to the film, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar. The song became their first charted hit in nineteen years peaking at number-one on the Billboard dance singles chart. Four years later, the original Blue Belles reunited to receive an award from the R&B Foundation for Lifetime Achievement. In 2008, Labelle reunited for their first studio album in 32 years with the critically acclaimed Back to Now. That year, the trio went back on tour together which carried through the spring of 2009. In an interview with the Toronto Star, Patti LaBelle explained why she, Dash and Hendryx waited over 32 years to record a full-length album: "You don't want to half-step something this important....it was about finding the right time and place. We were never ones to do anything on anyone else's time anyway; we were always unconventional. I still have my glitter boots to prove it." The group performed a triumphant show at the Apollo Theatre in New York City on December 19, 2008.
Did they record any songs?
OUT: "Release Yourself",
input: In 2000, Anti-Flag was invited to participate in Vans Warped Tour. During this time, the members of Anti-Flag met NOFX's Fat Mike, owner of the Fat Wreck Chords record label. This meeting spawned a friendship that would lead to Anti-Flag's release of two albums on the label. In 2001, Anti-Flag teamed with punk music producer Mass Giorgini to record the album Underground Network, released on Fat Wreck Chords. The release of the album is arguably the band's breakout from the hardcore underground to a more mainstream spotlight. The album continued to address the issues of fascism (specifically neo-Nazis infiltrating the "hardcore scene") and the United States' foreign policy. The album was the first to contain the now-commonplace booklet filled with essays from historians and political commentators, most notably Professor Howard Zinn. In February 2002, Anti-Flag released the album Mobilize on A-F Records. The album featured eight new studio tracks as well as eight live tracks of songs from other albums. In the wake of the September 11th terrorist attacks on the United States, Anti-Flag spoke out against the push for war with the album's title track "911 for peace". During this time, many music stores pulled Anti-Flag's records from shelves, as their music was labelled as "anti-American." In 2003, Anti-Flag released the album The Terror State on Fat Wreck Chords. The album primarily focused on criticizing the Bush Administration's handling of the War on Terrorism. Again, the album contained a booklet full of essays from the band as well as other political commentators. The album contains a song whose lyrics were originally written by Woody Guthrie entitled "Post-War Breakout." The track's music was arranged by the members of Anti-Flag, as Guthrie had never committed the arrangements to paper. On October 8, 2004, U.S. Representative Jim McDermott gave a speech in the House of Representatives, praising Anti-Flag for their work in encouraging young people to register and vote.

Problem: Article: Eyeballing it is fine; you don't have to use a surface. Rest the scarf over your chest. It should be about evenly centered. They should wrap around your neck and come back in front of you. Tie the points in a knot as loosely or tightly as you see fit. Leave the knot exposed or place it underneath the other layer of the scarf. If you do choose the leave the knot exposed, experiment adjusting it to the right or left for a more asymmetrical look. Your scarf should be fairly malleable and sit in a position of your choosing. Depending on the size of your scarf, play with the length of the two layers. The knot could hang at the top of your neck or underneath, creating automatic volume.
Summary: Fold your scarf into a triangle. Grab both points and bring them around to your front. Fluff away!
Problem: Article: Change is very healthy and is often unavoidable in life. But it’s important to take stock of why you’re trying to change your life. Many factors can motivate a person to seek change, and everyone’s reasons will vary somewhat depending on their circumstances. But before you decide to change, it’s important to make sure you’re changing for the right reasons. Think about what your motivations are for turning a new leaf. Do you want to change for yourself, or for others? Why does change matter to you? Goals and intentions are meaningless without commitment. No matter what your goals are, make a promise to yourself that you will not give up on your goals, and that you will work tirelessly to achieve success. If you can't commit to doing it for yourself, commit to succeeding for someone else's sake: a proud parent, a supportive partner, or a caring friend. No matter what you have to do, make yourself a promise that you will not give up. . If you’ve suffered any kind of misfortune or unhappiness, it can easily feel like the circumstances of your past will forever determine your future. But the reality is that the past does not have to govern your future. You can make a conscious effort to let go of the past and create your own future success. If you are trying to overcome a trauma from your past but feel stuck in moving forward and progressing, counseling can be extremely helpful and is often necessary. Learning to deal with negative thoughts, stop ruminating, and overcome failure can be extremely helpful in letting go of a difficult past. Life changes rarely happen overnight. More likely it will be a long journey, filled with rewarding moments and frustrating ones. Cultivate a positive outlook and a promising future by finding little ways to change every day. Change one behavior at a time. Work on really improving one aspect of your life before moving on to the next aspect of your life. If you try to change everything at once, it may feel like nothing is improving.
Summary: Assess why you’re changing. Make a promise to yourself. Let go of the past Have realistic expectations.
Problem: Article: To remain eligible for unemployment benefits, you must be physically able to work and available to get to work if you're offered a position. Being unable or unavailable for work for a brief period of time may not cause the benefits office to terminate your benefits entirely, but they would be decreased during that time. For example, if you were sick with the flu for a few days and unable to seek work or go to work, you might see your benefits decreased to compensate for the time when you were unable to work. For lengthier illnesses or disabilities, you may qualify for other benefits, such as temporary disability benefits. While receiving unemployment benefits, you are required to actively seek employment. A benefits worker will let you know how many jobs you need to apply for each week to maintain eligibility, and when you need to report on your search. If you live in one state or country and your previous job was in a neighboring state or country, the unemployment office may require you to prioritize replacement work in your place of residence, rather than searching primarily in the other area. Your unemployment office has job search resources available, so take advantage of them. This may include access to job databases for free, help building your résumé, or job interview coaching. You typically must file a report with the benefits office, either weekly or every other week, that certifies that you are still able and available for work. You may also be required to report on your job search, including interviews you've attended and employment offered to you. If you are offered suitable employment and refuse it, your unemployment benefits may be terminated, unless you can convince the benefits office that you had a legitimate reason for turning down the offer. For example, if you got a job offer that would require you to move to a different city or state, it would be acceptable to turn down the offer if you weren't in a position to move. Some states and countries offer job training that you can use to increase your job opportunities. Typically, these programs are offered for free if you are getting unemployment benefits. For example, you may be able to take courses on new tech that is becoming common in your industry. You may also be able to get certified in certain skills, which can help strengthen your résumé. There may also be courses offered at a local community college or library that are free or have a nominal charge. Taking these courses can show potential employers that you're dedicated to your career.
Summary: Remain able to and available for work. Organize your job search. Report to the benefits office when required. Take job training courses if offered.
Problem: Article: Skills like photography, graphic design, and coding will lend themselves well to a career as a freelance journalist. These skills can translate to journalism and will increase your value to most editors. If you're having issues finding work, let the editors know that you have these other skills and can incorporate them into your work. If you work with multiple publications it can be hard to get all of your work in by the deadline. Write down a schedule of your day-to-day operations and stick to it. This will help you finish your articles by deadline and will keep you on track while you're working. Even if you start working from home, it's important that you wake up and get dressed as if you are going to an office. This will help keep you focused throughout your day and get you in the mindset to work efficiently. When working from home, it can be hard to stay focused. Instead of getting distracted, set a timer for 45-50 minutes and focus solely on working on a single project. Do not respond to emails, answer the phone, or pay attention to any distractions. Once the timer is up, relax and take a break for 20-30 minutes. Sometimes when you're lucky, assignments will come rolling in. It's important that during these times that you manage your workload. If an editor assigns you an article, it's best to be transparent about your workload. Consider if they are pay is high enough and whether you have the free time to complete it by the deadline. If you don't feel like you can complete it by the deadline or it doesn't pay enough, decline the assignment.
Summary:
|
Learn other technical skills. Create and stick to a schedule. Wake up early and change your clothes every day. Set a time to avoid distractions. Manage your workload and learn to say no.

Cultural Differences
KIRKUK, Iraq – “If we left here now,” said Sgt. Efrain Fuentes of McAllen, Tex., gesturing toward a group of officers from Iraq’s Emergency Services Unit, “these guys are ready. They’re really good. We really don’t do much.”
As American forces plan to withdraw from Iraq, Sergeant Fuentes’s words are the hope underlying the country’s future security.
For four months his unit, Alpha battery, 3rd Battalion, 82nd field artillery regiment, has been training members of the E.S.U., a quick-response force of low-paid, poorly educated officers whom Sergeant Fuentes described as a model for all Iraqi security forces.
On a recent morning, at the unit’s weekly training session, the model showed both its seams and its potential.
As often, the E.S.U. officers were late to arrive at the American base. Matthew Watson, an international police adviser who led the training, took their tardiness with clenched humor. “These guys show up later each week,” he said. “Pretty soon they’re going to show up at 11:15 and say, ‘let’s go to lunch.’ ”
Mr. Watson, who works for the State Department, led the group in an exercise in neutralizing an “active threat” – a kidnapper who was threatening to kill hostages. The strategy was counter to Iraqi methods, Mr. Watson said, because it called on officers to risk their lives to save others’.
In a battered building, Mr. Watson pretended to hold 12 hostages, and assigned four E.S.U. officers to rescue them. “Bang!” he yelled, indicating that he had killed one. The Iraqis moved methodically through the building, clearing each room before moving to the next. “Bang!” Mr. Watson yelled. By the time the officers reached him, he had “killed” all the hostages and himself.
Then he asked them to change methods, sacrificing their safety to save the hostages, a strategy that American police departments adopted after the 1999 school shooting in Columbine. The four officers sped directly to the room where Mr. Watson held the hostages, “saving” eight of them.
Mr. Watson signaled for the next four officers to try the exercise. The Iraqis conferred among themselves. Finally the interpreter explained, “The officers don’t want to do it, because they say we have a lot of experience and we don’t need it.”
Mr. Watson regrouped. “I understand there’s some cultural differences,” he said. “It’s O.K.”
“Cultural differences” – the loaded phrase peppers many discussions of Iraqi training or methods, and enfolds volumes about the likely aftermath of American withdrawal.
Iraqi security forces have closer intelligence connections and understand the people better than their American counterparts, said Capt. Sam Allen, the battery commander. But the Iraqi soldiers have often been tools for sectarian vendettas, and sometimes leak information to their putative targets. And they work at tremendous risk, often becoming targets for insurgents.
To American soldiers, the cultural differences can take some getting used to. Two nights before the training session, Captain Allen’s Iraqi counterpart had planned a raid on a suspected weapons cache. The Iraqis would conduct the raid; the Americans would provide support. But when the weather called for rain, the Iraqis canceled the mission.
“It was absolutely the right call,” Captain Allen said, noting that a raid would have tracked mud into people’s houses, making more enemies than the troops arrested – a consideration that Americans might have considered secondary. “It’s not the way we’re used to doing things, but it has become the way we’re used to doing things,” he said.
Across such cultural differences, the Iraqis learn from the Americans and the Americans learn from the Iraqis, imperfectly and only within limits. And still the training continues, with both sides complying on some points and pushing back on others.
Col. Orhan Khaleel Juma, the E.S.U. battalion’s commander, said he would be sorry to see the Americans leave, but told them, “The major point is that we need top cover from aircraft. Otherwise we can handle it.” Then he joked, “before you go I have to beat you with my jump shot, just like I beat you at ping pong.”
The colonel’s cellphone rang, and as the Americans waited around him, he took the call.

How to easily lose weight
Set realistic weight loss goals for yourself.
Setting huge goals for yourself can be a recipe for disaster. If your goals are not realistic, then you may struggle to accomplish them and eventually give up.
OUT:
|
Instead, try setting small, realistic goals that you are confident you can accomplish and then break your goal into even smaller objectives that you can work on. For example, instead of setting a goal to lose 50 pounds, set a goal to lose 5 pounds to start.

Here is an email: Listening in by phone is so much better than traveling to these meetings. It greatly reduces one's exposure to the toxins of this process. 1. A learned expert on Secured Transactions from Mike's firm gave an opening address on the principles of granting and receiving the grantation of security interests. Almost completely irrelevant. The guy up and suggested that for a given transaction, the parties might consider giving a security interest in an office building, ie.real estate, as collateral. 2. A cannabalized EEI Credit Support Annex was tabled by Deedee Russo of Reliant and muddled through. The format was typically: Mike: "Okay guys, why don't you explain to me what you want." Member: "We think we need this...blah blah blah, " Mike: "Okay, we'll put that into our next draft and have a conference call in December and a meeting in January and remember, none of this is binding, its all optional." 3. At the very end, a lawyer from PacifiCorp managed to raise the vital issue and Mike got his hackles up very quickly. The PacifiCorp guy was basically saying that the WSPP was becoming more and more like the EEI and that this made it more and more difficult for parties to decide which agreement to use. His implication was that the WSPP should try to remain different or throw in the towel and be just like the EEI. Small reacted from a position of religion, dogmatically and loudly asserting that the two agreements were fundamentally different. Here is where he left himself open to the shining light of rational analysis: if someone, had the time, and we thought it mattered enough, the approach to take would be this: Dispassionate Spokesperson: A question has been raised: is the WSPP agreement becoming more or less like the EEI? To fairly answer this question one needs to look at all the changes that have been made by the WSPP in the last three years, comparing each change to the EEI agreement. (prepare comparison document). If we look at the evidence do we see convergence or divergence? The answer will be overwhelmingly convergence. If this objective study could be placed before the "Membership" it would speak for itself. Nobody would have to utter a word. The comparison document would do the job. If we are going to bother playing with these guys, this is what we should do. It would take some time, but if we circulated it to the membership and then merely raised the question of future direction, we might deal this tedious process a mortal blow. Believe it or not, the solution to this process is to follow the same process that went on when the King James Bible was put together in 1611. Various scholars took various views on how various Hebrew passages should be translated, and it took a committee of draftsmen, appointed and sent to Geneva by King James to pound out the form that has stood the test of time for centuries. The Joint Drafting Committee's time on the historical stage is finally arriving. I am going to talk to this Pacificorp fellow and Brenda Anderson at BPA and see what happens. ----cgy

Article: While you may be able to use this article as a guide to help you figure out if you are injured, you still must go to the doctor to get a professional diagnosis. It would be bad to think that you are ok, only to put pressure on your knee and injure it further. Schedule an appointment for as soon as possible after the injury. If you can, you may also go to the hospital to deal with the injury right away. When your ACL gets injured, it is referred to as a sprain rather than a broken bone because it is a ligament (though it can feel as painful as breaking a bone). The term 'sprain' refers to more than just the stretching of the ligament, it is actually the classification the is used to refer to ligament injuries. There are three levels of ACL injury. A grade 1 ACL sprain involves mild injury to the ligament. It has been slightly stretched but not torn. It can still sustain the knee joint and will help the leg remain stable. A grade 2 ACL sprain is when the ligament is stretched beyond its capacity to the point it becomes loose. This is when the technical term “partial tear of the ACL” is used. A grade 3 ACL sprain makes the knee joint unstable and the ligament is completely torn apart. You must have a doctor do this test—do not try it yourself. This is the preferred test for figuring out if you have a partial ACL tear because it can show that you have a partial tear even when the rest of the ligaments and tendons in your knee are uninjured. A doctor will: Have you lie down on a table. Your doctor will first look at your uninjured knee to see how far your shin moves forward when your knee is bent. Your ACL keeps your shin from moving very far forward. Your doctor will then look at your injured knee and see how far your shin moves forward when the knee is bent. If it moves forward further than normal but your doctor can still feel resistance, it means that you have a partial tear. If there is no resistance, your ACL has been fully torn. This test is meant to determine how much pressure can be put on your injured knee before it becomes unstable. Your doctor will move your injured leg a little ways away from your body (this is called hip abduction). She will then: Straighten your leg while simultaneously press inward against the outer part of your knee and twist your leg outward. Doing this will show how well your ACL is functioning because it is a movement that only involves the ACL. Your leg will be slowly bent while continuous pressure is put on it. When your knee is bent at a 20 to 40° angle, your doctor will look at your shin bone. If the bone slides forward a bit it means that your ACL has been partially torn. While the ACL cannot be seen through an x-ray, your doctor can look for other evidence that you ACL has been partially torn. An x-ray of both knees is necessary to detect signs of injury such as fracture, improper alignment of the bony structures, and narrowing of the spaces between joints. All three of these injuries are associated with a partial ACL tear. Unlike an x-ray, an MRI will help your doctor to examine your soft tissue structures in your knee, including your ACL. Your doctor will also look at your meniscus and other knee ligaments to make sure that they are not injured. Your doctor might also request an oblique coronal image if he or she is still not sure about the extent of your injury. This image will give the doctor a better view of your knee in addition to the MRI.
What is a summary of what this article is about?
|
Go to a doctor if you notice any of the symptoms listed in this article. Be aware that there are three grades of ACL injury. Have a doctor perform the Lachman test. Be prepared for the Pivot Shift test. Have an x-ray taken of your knee. Know that an MRI might need to be done.

The man died after stepping into the path of a galloping horse during a race in honour of the girl's 15th birthday.
Local media said the 66-year-old owned one of the horses taking part in the amateur race.
About 1.3 million people earlier vowed to attend the party, which also featured local bands and food.
In a video message recorded earlier this month, Crescencio Ibarra announced that he would be organising a 15th birthday party for his daughter Rubi on 26 December in La Joya community, central Mexico.
"Hello, how are you? We invite you this 26 December to the 15th birthday party of our daughter, Rubi Ibarra Garcia," Mr Ibarra said while standing next to Rubi and his wife Anaelda Garcia.
He then went on to announce that the winner of the horse race to be held as part of the event would win 10,000 pesos ($490; £390).
One of those drawn by the invite, and the horse race in particular, was Felix Pena of the local Coyotes Negros (Black Coyotes) stables.
Mr Pena told local broadcaster Hora Zero that he was entering his horse, Oso Dormido (Sleeping Bear), in the race and that he expected it to win.
"I'm not doing it for the [prize] money, I'm doing it for the fame and the glory."
In a video taken of the race he can be seen rolling in the dust kicked up by the horses and then lying unconscious on the ground.
Emergency workers said he died on the way to hospital.
It is not clear why Mr Pena, who regularly raced horses, stepped into the path of the galloping animals.
Some bystanders said he may have misjudged the distance as he tried to cheer on Oso Dormido.
Another man who also stepped into the path of the horses broke a leg.
Police said apart from the accident during the horse race, the party went off peacefully.
Throwing a large party for a girl's coming-of-age is not unusual in Mexico, but Rubi Ibarra Garcia's party was unique in the attention it drew.
Mr Ibarra's message was posted publicly on Facebook and was widely shared on social media, prompting countless memes and imitations.
Mr Ibarra later said that the idea had been to invite neighbours and friends only, but promised that he would not turn anyone away.
On the day, thousands of people showed up and relatives had to move away an army of waiting reporters so Rubi could attend an open-air Mass.
Dozens of tents and tables filled with food were prepared for those who made the journey.
They were met by Rubi, who looked serene despite the crowds, wearing a fuchsia dress and a tiara.
Her father was at one point exasperated by the media and threatened to end the party if reporters did not give his daughter some space.

A man was killed at a girl's birthday party in Mexico attended by thousands after her parent's video invitation to "everyone" went viral on social media.

Originally based on the English alphabet, ASCII encodes 128 specified characters into seven-bit integers as shown by the ASCII chart on the right. The characters encoded are numbers 0 to 9, lowercase letters a to z, uppercase letters A to Z, basic punctuation symbols, control codes that originated with Teletype machines, and a space. For example, lowercase j would become binary 1101010 and decimal 106. ASCII includes definitions for 128 characters: 33 are non-printing control characters (many now obsolete) that affect how text and space are processed and 95 printable characters, including the space (which is considered an invisible graphic:223).
The code itself was patterned so that most control codes were together, and all graphic codes were together, for ease of identification. The first two columns (32 positions) were reserved for control characters.:220, 236 § 8,9) The "space" character had to come before graphics to make sorting easier, so it became position 20hex;:237 § 10 for the same reason, many special signs commonly used as separators were placed before digits. The committee decided it was important to support uppercase 64-character alphabets, and chose to pattern ASCII so it could be reduced easily to a usable 64-character set of graphic codes,:228, 237 § 14 as was done in the DEC SIXBIT code. Lowercase letters were therefore not interleaved with uppercase. To keep options available for lowercase letters and other graphics, the special and numeric codes were arranged before the letters, and the letter A was placed in position 41hex to match the draft of the corresponding British standard.:238 § 18 The digits 0–9 were arranged so they correspond to values in binary prefixed with 011, making conversion with binary-coded decimal straightforward.

Ruthie the Duck Girl, born Ruth Grace Moulon (1933/4 - September 6, 2008) was a notable figure in the French Quarter of New Orleans. She was often seen riding from bar to bar on roller skates wearing eccentric furs, drinking Budweiser and smoking Kool cigarettes while accompanied by a couple of ducks.
Ruthie liked to drink budweiser.

The Île de la Harpe is an island in Lake Geneva, located on the territory of the municipality of Rolle, in the canton of Vaud. It is an artificial island built in 1837. The island was named after the political leader Frédéric-César de La Harpe, after his death in 1838. An obelisk was built on the island in honour of de la Harpe.
Île de la Harpe was built two years after 1935.

Problem: The bug, sometimes known as winter vomiting virus, is present all year but becomes more common over winter months.
Day surgeries - where the patient can be discharged on the same day - are still going ahead.
The trust said a number of wards in its hospitals have had to be closed to new admissions.
"Norovirus in the community and is now seriously impacting on our hospitals," said a trust spokesman.
"We are working hard to arrange new dates as quickly as possible for any of the patients affected.
"The situation will continue to be reviewed to assess if more cancellations are required in the days ahead."
He added that the trust has issued public appeals "asking people to stay away from our hospitals unless absolutely necessary due to the risk of spreading this infection to our patients and staff".
Armagh man Fred MacDonald was due to have had thyroid surgery on Wednesday, but was contacted on Tuesday to be told it had been cancelled.
He said he was told he might get the surgery, scheduled a number of months ago, before Christmas, but there were no guarantees.
"It is uncomfortable and I'm suffering a bit, if you can call it that, but I was looking forward to it, to get the thing sorted," he said.
"My biggest issue with it, apart from the cancellation, is [the hospital] always calling on number withheld numbers.
"If I hadn't, by chance, answered the phone I wouldn't have known it had been cancelled and I would have been in hospital this morning at 10 o'clock."
He added: "It's just wait and see, it feels like you're getting pushed to the back of the list."
The Public Health Agency (PHA) has said the norovirus is circulating in the community and "having an impact on nursing and residential homes, as well as some hospital services".
Dr Lorraine Doherty, assistant director of public health at the PHA, said: "It's not unusual to see an increase in the winter vomiting and diarrhoea virus at this time of year, so we are urging people to take extra care with hand hygiene and, if you have the illness, take simple steps to prevent the spread.
"The most common symptoms are nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea, which can begin suddenly. This can also be accompanied by a raised temperature, headache and sore limbs.
"It is very important that people who have symptoms do not visit hospitals, their GP surgery, or nursing and residential homes.
"The illness can last as little as 12 hours or up to three days and the best treatment is to stay at home, rest, take plenty of fluids, and reduce contact with others, both in the home and at work."
What was that article about?
A: The Southern Health Trust has cancelled all non-emergency inpatient surgeries at Craigavon Area Hospital due to the nororvirus.
A woman had complained to police that she was sexually assaulted by a man in his 50s in Westminster last May.
The Metropolitan Police said the former Rochdale MP was informed the matter had been dropped on Wednesday.
Mr Danczuk, 50, who is standing for re-election in the town as an independent, said he believed the claim was "politically motivated".
He said the allegation was made to police the day he collected nomination papers from Rochdale Council entitling him to stand in the 8 June election.
He added the first he knew of the "totally false" allegation was when he was asked for a comment by a journalist on 8 May.
The allegation later appeared in newspaper headlines.
Mr Danczuk said the claim was "a desperate attempt to smear and undermine my general election campaign in Rochdale".
The former MP was suspended by the Parliamentary Labour Party in December 2015 amid allegations concerning his conduct.
He later resigned from the party after he was barred from standing for Labour in Rochdale, a seat he had held since winning it from the Liberal Democrats in 2010.
Sum: Former Labour MP Simon Danczuk will face no further action following a rape allegation, police have confirmed.
Q: The amendment means that, for on-field lbw decisions to be reversed, at least half of the ball must be shown to be hitting any part of the stumps.
Currently, half of the ball would need to be hitting a zone between the centre of leg and off stumps.
The changes will come into effect from 1 October.
The DRS system was introduced in international cricket in Tests in 2009 and one-day internationals in 2011 in an attempt to eliminate incorrect umpiring decisions.
The ICC, at its annual conference in Edinburgh, also announced it will arrange a trial which will involve the third umpire judging no-balls using TV replays "within a few seconds of the ball being delivered".
Sri Lanka complained to the ICC after Nuwan Pradeep was wrongly called for a no-ball by on-field umpire Rod Tucker when he bowled Alex Hales for 58 in the third Test at Lord's.
A: The International Cricket Council has approved changes to the decision review system which will make it easier to overturn not-out lbw decisions.
Text: "At points, once rent was covered, I had £12.50 a week to live off," he says.
Richard's been telling Newsbeat what life was like not knowing how much money he would earn each month.
He spoke to us as the political parties argue over what to do about zero-hours contracts when the election is over.
"I spent 18 months or so on one [a zero-hours contract]. Working full time one week then as minimal as it gets the next," Richard says.
"It was tough," he says. "It was very difficult to budget for the future so it was very touch and go the majority of the time."
He tells us that "at points once rent was covered it was £12.50 a week to live off. And that didn't include electricity, food and other essentials".
"It was basically one of the big sacks of pasta and as many sauces as you can get."
He says he was "basically living like a vegetarian for six weeks at a time".
"You could get two weeks into a month and be working the full time hours," he explains.
"Then the next two weeks your hours could be slashed, so your wage is effectively halved form that point in."
Richard says finding a more stable job was difficult.
"When you're hungry and eating plain pasta, and your electricity meter has run out and so you're in the stone ages.
"You really don't feel like trying to impress someone else to give you an opportunity."
Labour say they would give employees the right to a regular contract after working regular hours somewhere for three months.
The Conservatives are saying the idea is a threat to jobs, and the Lib Dems say they would ban clauses in these types of contracts that stop people looking for other work.
Read more about all the different parties policies.
Now with a job with regular hours Richard says he's much happier.
"It's the security, I may not being earning much on the averages but it's enough to keep money in my pocket, food in cupboards and a roof over my head."
Some surveys suggest that people who are on zero-hours contracts are happier than people in full time work.
But Richard wasn't one of them.
"It's hard to look at the positives when you're hungry and in the dark."

Richard's now a barrista at a big chain of coffee shops, but still remembers his time working on a zero-hours contract.

input: Franklin supports the portrayal of African-American history in films, and has been quoted as saying "I am interested in the universal values of the black experience." However, just because Franklin is a filmmaker who is African American does not mean that all of his films are racially motivated. Not all of his films revolve around a central theme of culture: some of his films cover racial issues, while others do not. Franklin maintains a wide subject range in his films, choosing not to focus solely on his heritage. As a prominent African-American filmmaker, Franklin stands apart from the rest in his careful selection of projects. While many of his most notable films touch on the subject of racial climates and the struggles that ensue, Franklin does not hide behind his race. Explaining to The L.A Times, "My ethnicity is a plus, a tool. It gives me ammunition in terms of the way I view the world. There are certain stories in the black community that inform us all." Combining his humanitarian instincts and personal experiences, Franklin stands out as a visionary for community improvement through his films. However, a large part of Franklin's remarkable journey revolves around the fact that he is black. Discussing the realities for African Americans in the television and film industry, Franklin said: "When I came up, the only legitimate dramatic actor was Sidney Poitier, the bankable star was Richard Pryor and the other choice roles were action parts that went to Jim Brown. Even someone as good as Billy Dee Williams had a couple of great moments and then couldn't get a decent part." With a very small window of opportunity for African Americans at the time that Franklin was getting his start, his skills and educational background contributed to his success. Franklin is a standout filmmaker regardless of his race, yet he is often praised for his ability to overcome adversity, and is recognized for his highly regarded opinion as well as his relevant contributions. In February 2000, Franklin was featured as a Black History Month guest speaker at Indiana University's ''Black Film Center/Archive''. The group hosted an event called A Night with Filmmaker Carl Franklin, which gave Franklin the opportunity to talk about his experience in the movie industry as well as show a preview of his film Devil in a Blue Dress. Franklin's appearance was highly regarded by many students who were honored to meet him in person.

input: In 2002, Slash reunited with Duff McKagan and Matt Sorum for a Randy Castillo tribute concert. Realizing that they still had the chemistry of their days in Guns N' Roses, they decided to form a new band together. Former Guns N' Roses guitarist Izzy Stradlin was initially involved, but left after the others decided to find a lead singer. Dave Kushner, who had previously played with McKagan in Loaded, then joined the band on rhythm guitar. For many months, the four searched for a lead singer by listening to offered demo tapes, a monotonous process documented by VH1. Eventually, former Stone Temple Pilots vocalist Scott Weiland joined the band. In 2003, Velvet Revolver played several concerts during the summer and released their first single, "Set Me Free". In June 2004, they released their debut album, Contraband, which debuted at No. 1 on the U.S. chart and sold two million copies, re-establishing Slash as a mainstream performer. A year-and-a-half-long tour followed in support of the album. In July 2007, Velvet Revolver released their second album, Libertad, and embarked on a second tour. During a show in March 2008, Weiland announced to the audience that it would be the band's final tour; he was fired from the band in April 2008, Slash insisted "chemical issues" led to the split. The following month Weiland rejoined Stone Temple Pilots. Despite Weiland's departure, Velvet Revolver did not officially disband. In early 2010, Velvet Revolver began writing new songs and auditioning new singers. By January 2011, the band had recorded nine demos, and was reportedly due to make a decision on their singer. However, the following April, Slash stated that they had been unable to find a suitable singer and that Velvet Revolver would remain on hiatus for the next few years while its members focus on other projects.

input: It was generally felt in the court that the Emperor should marry and produce heirs as soon as possible. Various potential brides were considered: Princess Elisabeth of Modena, Princess Anna of Prussia and Princess Sidonia of Saxony. Although in public life Franz Joseph was the unquestioned director of affairs, in his private life his formidable mother still wielded crucial influence. Sophie wanted to strengthen the relationship between the Houses of Habsburg and Wittelsbach--descending from the latter house herself--and hoped to match Franz Joseph with her sister Ludovika's eldest daughter, Helene ("Nene"), who was four years the Emperor's junior. However, Franz Joseph fell deeply in love with Nene's younger sister Elisabeth ("Sisi"), a beautiful girl of fifteen, and insisted on marrying her instead. Sophie acquiesced, despite her misgivings about Sisi's appropriateness as an imperial consort, and the young couple were married on 24 April 1854 in St. Augustine's Church, Vienna. Their marriage would prove to be an unhappy one; though Franz Joseph was passionately in love with his wife, the feeling was not mutual and Sisi never truly acclimatised to life at court, frequently having disagreements with the imperial family. Their first daughter Sophie died as an infant, and their only son Rudolf died by suicide in 1889 in the infamous Mayerling Incident. In 1885 Franz Joseph met Katharina Schratt, a leading actress of the Vienna stage, and she became his friend and confidante. This relationship lasted the rest of his life, and was--to a certain degree--tolerated by Sisi. Franz Joseph built Villa Schratt in Bad Ischl for her, and also provided her with a small palace in Vienna. Though their relationship lasted for thirty-four years, it remained platonic. The Empress was an inveterate traveller, horsewoman, and fashion maven who was rarely seen in Vienna. Sisi was obsessed about preserving her beauty, carrying out many bizarre routines and strenuous exercise, and as a result suffered from ill health. She was stabbed to death by an Italian anarchist in 1898 while on a visit to Geneva. A few days after the funeral, Robert of Parma wrote in a letter to his friend Tirso de Olazabal that "It was pitiful to look at the Emperor, he showed a great deal of energy in his immense pain, but at times one could see all the immensity of his grief." Franz Joseph never fully recovered from the loss. According to the future empress Zita of Bourbon-Parma he told his relatives: "You'll never know how important she was to me" or, according to some sources, "You will never know how much I loved this woman."

Q: Water-tight is airtight, and you need to prevent air from escaping your hands to make them whistle. You lips will be puckered out, but somewhat close together. Imagine you are "booing” someone on stage.
A: Cup your left hand like you are about to drink water from it. Purse your lips as if you were making an “ooo” sound.
Q: Major changes to your home and schedule cannot be discussed in bits and pieces. Set aside some time in everyone's schedule to talk about renovation plans. Understanding the "why" behind any action is a good way to build support for a plan. Let your family know that the decision to renovate is based on your desire to stay in the home for a long period of time, or because you need a finished basement for extra family space or due to some other issue or problem that needs resolving. Invite questions and talk openly. You do not have to give your kids a spreadsheet with line item details, but let them know that a lot of money will be spent and they might need to earn their own money or cut back on some of the things they want. Give your family members time to adjust. You do not want to announce a major kitchen renovation the day before the family fridge is torn out. Put together a timeline so everyone knows what to expect. Caution that the renovations might take longer than expected. Instead of telling your family members how everything will look, solicit their input. If they get to have a say in the color that goes on the walls or the tile that gets put on the new floors, they will be more receptive and helpful.
A: Call a family meeting. Discuss the reason for your renovation. Talk about how the renovations will impact the family budget. Discuss the timing of events. Ask for ideas.
Q: It can be fun to add a bit of spontaneous movements on stage. People may get tired of watching someone simply sing. Try to add a few fun moves to your routine, like pacing on stage or gesticulating with your hands. You can try walking and then changing direction every time the speaker has a new line. This can help show you're moving through thoughts on stage. You can also try moving your hands to the rhythm of the music. While moving on stage can help, you want to make sure you're aware of your body. In order to help yourself navigate turns, try doing something called spotting. This means you focus your gaze on something off stage, like a member of the audience. This can help keep you grounded in the moment and prevent you from losing track of yourself in the excitement of the movement. You should also focus on what your body is doing. Strive to be aware of your hands and face as you sing. Avoid distracting gestures, like playing with your hair or picking at your fingers. Also, be aware of your posture. Try to stand tall when singing. Not only does this convey confidence, it can help elevate your voice. You may feel nervous on stage and shake slightly. Try to move when you feel this sensation. This can help ground you, and add a little spice to your performance. Swing your hips and do a small dance. This can help make you look like more of a performer, while simultaneously distracting you from stage fright. Try to dance to the beat of the music. Tap your feet and wiggle your shoulders slightly. It's a good idea to strive for an appropriate facial expression when singing. You don't want to be grinning during a sad song or looking weepy during a happy anthem. Try to be aware of your expression. Think about the song as you sing it. You'll be more likely to use the appropriate expression if you're really invested in the words. It may be a good idea to sing in front of a mirror in the weeks leading up to your performance. You can use the mirror to gauge whether you have a tendency to grimace or make an unpleasant face while singing.
A: Incorporate spontaneity wisely. Be aware of your body. Move around when you feel yourself shaking. Be aware of your facial expression.
Q: Some people will tell you to wait 3 days before you text someone when you get their number. However, after that much time, they might think you’re not interested. Instead of playing games, text the person as soon as you feel like it. That will show them that you’re already thinking of them, and they may be attracted to your straightforward approach. However, do avoid texting anyone too late at night or too early in the morning. You might wake them up, which they probably won’t appreciate. When you’re talking to your crush, you want them to know how thoughtful and clever you are. Using a lot of abbreviations, acronyms, and internet slang might make you seem unoriginal, and they can make your texts hard to read. Try sticking to regular spelling and correct grammar, instead. Sprinkling a few acronyms into your texts is fine. For instance, “OMG I have to tell you something!” is fine, whereas, “OMG u rnt going 2 believe what I heard” probably isn’t going to win your crush’s heart. Read your texts before you send them to try to catch any typos, as well. When you’re first texting someone you like, don’t weigh them down with all the problems in your life. Instead, keep your texts positive, clever, or funny. That will show your crush that you’re a positive person who’s fun to be around. For instance, you might send your crush jokes, cute stories about your day, or funny memes you come across. Avoid too much sarcasm, since it might not come across the right way in a text. Over time, you can gradually open up to your crush, especially if you see them doing the same thing. When you like someone, it can be tempting to read into every text they send you, looking for any sign of how they feel. However, the best way to know for sure whether your crush likes you is just to spend time talking to them. It will become clear in time, so just relax and have fun, and let things develop naturally. For instance, just because your crush sends you short texts doesn’t necessarily mean they’re mad at you or that they don’t like you. They may just be busy. If you’re constantly sending long blocks of texts and your crush is only sending you back short texts (or not texting you back at all), they’re probably busy, and they might get aggravated if you keep blowing up their phone. You don’t have to send exactly 1 message for every 1 message they send, but do try to keep it to a close ratio. Don’t text the person to ask them why they’re not texting you. That can come across as desperate or pushy. If they’re not answering, give them some space. If your crush is always the one who has to say goodbye first, they might start to feel like you like them more than they like you. Give them a chance to miss you by ending the conversation a little earlier than they expect. If you’re ending the conversation because you have somewhere to go, make sure to mention that so they know you have a busy, well-rounded life! Leave your crush hanging by saying something like, "Oh, remind me tomorrow to tell you about my job interview!"
A:
|
Don't feel like you need to wait a certain amount of time before you text. Avoid using a lot of slang in your texts. Keep your texts lighthearted, especially at first. Don't overthink it. Try not to text the other person way more than they text you. Try to be the first one to end the conversation.

Input: Tour helicopter crashes near Pearl Harbor's Arizona Memorial
A tourist helicopter carrying five people crashed into the Thursday morning into the waters near Hawaii’s Pearl Harbor, officials said.
The 10:30 a.m. crash left a 16-year-old passenger in critical condition, and hospitalized two others, who are in stable condition — a 50-year-old man and a 45-year-old woman, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported.
A witness video posted to YouTube showed the chopper plunging into waters close to the shore at the historic Navy base's U.S.S. Arizona Memorial. Bystanders helped rescue workers bring all five passengers ashore safely.
Federal Aviation Administration records show the Bell 206 chopper is owned by Genesis Helicopters, which provides hour-long tours over the island of Oahu from Honolulu's airport. Pearl Harbor is just a few miles from the Honolulu International Airport.
A phone call to Genesis' office wasn't answered, and no one immediately responded to a request for comment sent through the company's website Thursday.
The helicopter sank into the waters after the crash, said U.S. Navy spokeswoman Agnes Tauyan. FAA investigators will examine the scene and the National Transportation Safety Board has been alerted, FAA spokesman Lynn Lunsford said.
Eyewitnesses told KHNL-TV they saw smoke coming from the chopper's tail before it began falling from about 500 feet in the air. Max Burner, who was visiting the site of the 1941 Japanese attack from his home in Redwood City, Calif., jumped into the water with others when the helicopter went down, he said.
"As soon as it hit the water, some people popped out," Burner said. One of the rescuers used a knife to help a passenger get free from a seatbelt, he noted.
Navy officials closed the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center until further notice Thursday. The cause of the crash is under investigation. Another bystander, Roy Gano, told KHNL he had noticed the chopper flying lower than normal.
"It then hovered for a second and then started to descend," Gano said. "It was not spinning out of control, but it was dropping at a good rate. It narrowly missed the rocky edge and turned to its side. I saw people dive into the water to help."

Input: 'The Jungle Book'Dominates Box Office With $32M Friday
Jon Favreau’s The Jungle Book, the latest offering from Disney’s live-action studio, is doing huge business in its debut at the North American box office, grossing $32.4 million on Friday for a projected $87 million-$90 million weekend, one of the top openings of all time for the month of April.
The movie’s better-than-expected performance — fueled by stellar reviews and an A CinemaScore — is yet another victory for Disney as it reimagines its classic titles. At this pace, the $175 tentpole will come ahead of fellow Disney titles Cinderella ($67.9 million), Oz the Great and Powerful ($79.1 million and Maleficent ($69.4 million).
Jungle Book is a reimagining of Rudyard Kipling’s eponymous book about an orphaned human boy whose guardians are animals. The live-action/CGI hybrid introduces Neel Sethi as Mowgli and features the voices of Bill Murray, Idris Elba, Ben Kingsley, Lupita Nyong’o and Scarlett Johansson.
Disney opens the movie in 4,208 theaters in North America; more than 3,000 of those will offer the film in a variety of premium formats, including 4D, 3D and Imax. Overseas, The Jungle Book already has grossed north of $30 million after opening in a handful of markets last weekend. It opens in other counties this weekend — including China, the U.K., France, Germany and Mexico — and could take in $75 million or more internationally.
The Jungle Book already has grossed $57.1 million from its first foreign markets, including doing record-breaking business in India — where Hollywood entries typically have a tough time — and Russia.
Two other films open this weekend, Ice Cube’s Barbershop: The Next Cut and the older-skewing action thriller Criminal, starring Kevin Costner and Tommy Lee Jones.
Boosted by strong reviews and an A- CinemaScore, Barbershop 3 is looking at debut in the $19 million range-$20 million range for New Line and MGM after earning $7 million Friday, somewhat behind expectations but good enough for the No. 2 spot.
Criminal is struggling in its debut, with a projected weekend gross of $6 million-$7 million.

Input: EastEnders fans moan about 'boring' plot revolving around BINS
Walford residents rant about the recycling — and viewers think the scenes should have been scrapped
EASTENDERS fans have rubbished Monday night’s episode of the soap, which saw Walford residents discussing the new bin collection schedule.
In what appears to be a nod to recent changes in London, there is great confusion when locals learn the collections will soon take place every two weeks instead of once a week.
In one scene, young mother Lauren rants to fellow mum Whitney: "I know this sounds really bad but sometimes I feel like this house is just full of dirty nappies and incontinence pads and stuffy rooms and bleach up my nose.
"Who knows what it's going to be like when they're only doing the bins every other week?"
I love #EastEnders, I really do, but what the hell is this bins storyline? They just won't shut up about the bins and the bin collections.
— Laura (@LauraSparling) September 19, 2016
It's all kicking off on #EastEnders!! Last week it wad was the bins now it's the recycling!! Wow!! Hard hitting storylines!!????????????

Sorry was tonight's episode of #EastEnders sponsored by Bins R Us? They mentioned bins more time than Sonia mentioned bloody Kettering
— Ben Bone (@Spiceyben) September 19, 2016
Whitney then wondered: "Which bin do dirty nappies go in?" to which an exasperated Lauren replied: "I don't know!"
There was even more confusion on Twitter, where fans questioned the point of the storyline.
One viewer wrote: "I love #EastEnders, I really do, but what the hell is this bins storyline? They just won't shut up about the bins and the bin collections."
"#EastEnders please get a new storyline over the bin one. It's boring," wrote another fan.
One person joked: "It's all kicking off on #EastEnders!! Last week it wad was the bins now it's the recycling!! Wow!! Hard hitting storylines!!"
And another said: "Sorry was tonight's episode of #EastEnder sponsored by Bins R Us? They mentioned bins more time than Sonia mentioned bloody Kettering."
"Blimey hav #EastEnders only just caught up with recycling & alternate bin collection days," remarked someone else.
And one user joked: If you've been affected by any of the Bins and recycling issues in tonight's show, please contact the BBC support line on..."

Here is a news article: Renee Ganz, 86, originally from Oradea, Romania, discusses her time at the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. (Photo: Debbie Hill for USA TODAY)
TEL AVIV, Israel — Shortly after the Nazi invasion of what was then Hungary in May 1944, Renee Ganz's family and most of the 25,000 Jews in the city of Oradea were forced into cattle cars and transported to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.
Men and boys were placed in one line, while women and girls were led to another when they arrived at the camp in Oświęcim, Poland. Ganz was just 15 at the time.
"I asked a German soldier why we were being separated and he said, 'You've had a long journey. You need to take a shower,'" Ganz, now 86, recalls. "That's when the selection began."

German officers took one look at the prisoners and decided who would live and who would die.
"If they pointed left, you went to the gas chambers and crematorium. If they pointed to the right, you became a slave," she says. "We were sent to the right, but I never saw my father or brother Nikolai again."
Ganz, a self-described optimist, tries not to dwell on the horrors of the Holocaust and the 100 relatives she lost, but the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau has stirred up painful memories. She spent two months at Auschwitz before being sent to a slave labor camp along with her mother, who also survived the war.
On Tuesday — Holocaust Remembrance Day — Ganz will return to the death camp for the first time, along with nearly 100 other Auschwitz survivors from 19 countries.
"It will be very difficult, but it is important," she says.

A medical team of 12 doctors, psychologists and nurses will accompany the survivors, ages 73 to 96, because of the "emotionally powerful and physically taxing" nature of the visit, the World Jewish Congress said.
"This may be the last major anniversary we will be able to remember with those who experienced the Holocaust firsthand. From this historic event, their voices will echo across the generations," says Robert Singer, secretary general for the Jewish congress, which helped organize the event.
Of the more than 1.1 million people who died at Auschwitz, about 90% were Jews, according to the Yad Vashem Holocaust World Center in Jerusalem. About one in six of all Jews killed during the Holocaust died at the camp. Also killed there were homosexuals, Soviet prisoners of war, Christian Poles, Romani and others.
Hundreds of thousands of prisoners transported from all across Europe were sent to the gas chambers, then cremated at the camp. Those who survived the daily death "selections" often died from infection or starvation.
As the Soviet army was approaching in January 1945, the Nazis stepped up their exterminations and — in an attempt to destroy evidence of their genocide — sent the surviving prisoners in Auschwitz and its satellite camps on a series of death marches.
Emaciated and dressed in flimsy uniforms unsuited to the frigid cold of a Polish winter, thousands of prisoners died as a result.
"After the war ended we learned that my brother died just two weeks before the liberation," Ganz says, her voice cracking.

When he was 16, Shalom Lindenbaum was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau in July 1944 along with his parents and sister. His older brother, Moshe, had already died from illness in a labor camp.
"We were sent straight to Birkenau because the Nazis wanted us as laborers, and other than for the children and the elderly there was no selection," says Lindenbaum, now 88 and a retired professor of Hebrew literature.
"They tattooed numbers on our arms and shaved both the men and the women everywhere we had hair," he says while sitting in his book-filled home in Ramat Gan, a Tel Aviv suburb.
Lindenbaum and his father were then sent to the nearby Buna-Monowitz concentration camp, while his mother and sister remained at Auschwitz-Birkenau. On Jan. 18, 1945, Lindenbaum and his father were among 1,500 surviving prisoners sent on a death march.
"My sister and mother, meanwhile, were sent on a death march toward Bergen Belsen," another concentration camp, he says. "After four or five days in the bitter cold, only 500 or 600 of our original 1,500 were alive."

Lindenbaum's mother died the day after Bergen Belsen was liberated. "She told my sister that she knew I was still alive and asked her to tell me to recite Kaddish, the memorial prayer, for her."
Lindenbaum, who will attend the Auschwitz ceremony in Poland, said the anti-Semitism that fueled the Holocaust survives today.
"After 70 years a Jew still can't walk freely on the streets of Europe without fearing for his life," he says, referring to many assaults there, including the terror attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris this month that left four Jews dead.
Ganz agrees: "Anti-Semitism will be around for another thousand years." For her, traveling to Auschwitz is about getting "revenge," she says.
"I have children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. The Germans tried to kill the entire Jewish people but they failed. I am alive. I am here."

A summary of this is?
|
– Tomorrow, survivors will mark the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, and among the speakers will be Rainer Hoess, the grandson of the camp's infamous commandant Rudolf Hoess. The younger Hoess has devoted his life to educating people about the horrors his grandfather perpetrated. "I know my heritage. I can’t change it," he tells the Wall Street Journal. “It’s more effective to use the name and show that the idea that evil is in the blood—these things the Nazis said—is wrong." Hoess speaks at some 70 schools each year, and he has met with survivors; he's gotten their camp numbers, as well as a Star of David, tattooed on his body. Not everyone approves of his work, with some accusing him of using his name for financial gain. "I don’t want to have any connection to this criminal," an Israeli journalist and grandson of survivors tells the Journal. Tomorrow, Hoess will visit the camp, where survivors will also gather; the Journal puts the number at 300, while USA Today expects 100. "It will be very difficult, but it is important," says Renee Ganz, who is returning to Auschwitz for the first time since she was sent there at age 15, USA Today reports. Health specialists will be on hand to help survivors with the "emotionally powerful and physically taxing" experience, says the World Jewish Congress. "This may be the last major anniversary we will be able to remember with those who experienced the Holocaust firsthand. From this historic event, their voices will echo across the generations," says the group's secretary general. Some 1.1 million people died at Auschwitz; 90% were Jews, while others included homosexuals, Christian Poles, and Romani, USA Today notes.

The hijackers attacked at 9:28. While traveling 35,000 feet above eastern Ohio, United 93 suddenly dropped 700 feet. Eleven seconds into the descent, the FAA's air traffic control center in Cleveland received the first of two radio transmissions from the aircraft. During the first broadcast, the captain or first officer could be heard declaring "Mayday" amid the sounds of a physical struggle in the cockpit. The second radio transmission, 35 seconds later, indicated that the fight was continuing. The captain or first officer could be heard shouting:" Hey get out of here-get out of here-get out of here." On the morning of 9/11, there were only 37 passengers on United 93-33 in addition to the 4 hijackers. This was below the norm for Tuesday mornings during the summer of 2001. But there is no evidence that the hijackers manipulated passenger levels or purchased additional seats to facilitate their operation. The terrorists who hijacked three other commercial flights on 9/11 operated in five-man teams. They initiated their cockpit takeover within 30 minutes of takeoff. On Flight 93, however, the takeover took place 46 minutes after takeoff and there were only four hijackers. The operative likely intended to round out the team for this flight, Mohamed al Kahtani, had been refused entry by a suspicious immigration inspector at Florida's Orlando International Airport in August. Because several passengers on United 93 described three hijackers on the plane, not four, some have wondered whether one of the hijackers had been able to use the cockpit jump seat from the outset of the flight. FAA rules allow use of this seat by documented and approved individuals, usually air carrier or FAA personnel. We have found no evidence indicating that one of the hijackers, or anyone else, sat there on this flight. All the hijackers had assigned seats in first class, and they seem to have used them. We believe it is more likely that Jarrah, the crucial pilot-trained member of their team, remained seated and inconspicuous until after the cockpit was seized; and once inside, he would not have been visible to the passengers.
When did Unit 93 drop?
Mechanical energy is a combination of the energy of motion or position. This type of energy describes objects that are moving or could move. A moving ball can have energy from motion. An arrow can also have the energy of motion. Both are types of mechanical energy. Can you think of some other examples? Where does the energy of motion come from? It comes from the energy created by position. This energy is stored energy. This means it is not moving yet, but it has the potential to move. How can you store energy? The arrow gains energy from the drawn bow. As the arrow is released, the bow releases its stored energy and puts the arrow into motion. Can you think of some other ways to store energy using position?

Earth processes have not changed over time. The way things happen now is the same way things happened in the past. Mountains grow and mountains slowly wear away. The same process is at work the same as it was billions of years ago. As the environment changes, living creatures adapt. They change over time. Some organisms may not be able to adapt. They become extinct. Becoming extinct means they die out completely. Some geologists study the history of the Earth. They want to learn about Earths past. They use clues from rocks and fossils. They use these clues to make sense of events. The goal is to place things in the order they happened. They also want to know how long it took for those events to happen.

(CNN) -- Dorothy Cooper is a 96-year-old African-American resident of Chattanooga, Tennessee. She was born in a small town in northern Georgia before women could vote and when Jim Crow laws mandated racial segregation. Her life has spanned nearly a century of progress: The 19th Amendment extended suffrage to women, the Civil Rights movement led to the dismantling of segregation laws, and the Voting Rights Act outlawed overt racial discrimination in elections. Mrs. Cooper has always honored this past by voting. In 70 years, she has missed only one election, in 1960, because a move made her miss the registration deadline. Despite living through an era when African-Americans were routinely turned away from the ballot box -- and worse -- Mrs. Cooper said she "never had any problems" exercising her rights. Even before the Voting Rights Act was passed in 1965.

By. Sophie Jane Evans. It looks as though it’s lying in wait to sting unsuspecting beachgoers. But in fact this giant jellyfish is harmless to humans – and a long way from home. Usually found in the Atlantic or the Mediterranean, the creature was spotted by wildlife photographer Steve Trewhella in Portland, Dorset, and is one of ten seen recently along the south coast. Experts say there could be an influx of these barrel jellyfish – up to 3ft 2in in diameter – over the next few months due to warmer weather. 'Invasion': The latest in a string of barrel jellyfish sightings has been reported on a beach in Portland, Dorset. Above, wildlife photographer Steve Trewhella poses with the enormous creature, measuring 3ft in diameter. Richard Harrington of the Marine. Conservation Society said: ‘Although this species is harmless … we still. advise the public not to touch them.’ It comes just days after a jellyfish the size of a dustbin lid was sighted on the island by dog walker Suzanne Sheldon. Following her discovery, Ms Sheldon, 47, said: 'It was at least three feet in width and was very bulky too. It was the largest jellyfish I had ever seen.' Experts have warned that there could be an influx of the sea creatures as the weather warms up. Enormous: Experts have warned that we could see an influx of the sea creatures as temperatures soar to 20C toward the end of May. Above, the jellyfish which was spotted by the 49-year-old photographer, from Wareham. Washed up: Mr Trewhella believes the huge creature was washed ashore during strong winds and high tides. Forecasters expect high pressure to take hold later in May - sending temperatures soaring above 20C. In recent weeks, up to 10 barrel jellyfish have been spotted washed up on beaches around the South Coast. High numbers: In recent weeks, up to 10 barrel jellyfish have been spotted washed up on beaches around the south coast. Left, the jellyfish spotted by Mr Trewhella and, right, local Julie Hatcher poses with another jellyfish. Mr Harrington added: 'This is an Atlantic species and are sometimes found washed up but we still advise the public not to touch them.' But Mr Trewhella believes the creatures have come ashore because of strong winds and high tides. 'It's not that unusual to see jellyfish, they aren't particularly common in Dorset but we do see them every once in a while,' said the photographer. 'Jellyfish are a form of plankton, and the warm weather means we might see an increase in the levels of plankton. Another finding: It comes just days after a jellyfish the size of a dustbin lid was sighted on a beach in Portland. 'This is something that occurs around this time every year and it is known as the plankton boom. 'However, it is not the warm weather that causes jellyfish to wash up, instead it's the wind and tides that leave them stranded on beaches. 'I think we will see more strandings because of the on-shore winds and the tides, but people should be careful not to touch them.' 'Very bulky': Dog walker Suzanne Sheldon, who discovered the creature, said it was 'at least three foot in width' Barrel jellyfish - Rhizostoma pulmo in Latin - are often known as dustbin-lid jellyfish because of their enormous size. They are commonly found in the north east Atlantic, Adriatic, and Mediterranean sea and are prey to leatherback turtles. Experts have warned that some of the jellyfish can sting and anyone affected should seek medical attention.

At times last week it seemed some were ready to award Chelsea the Premier League title on the back on a 3-1 win at Burnley. And though in the end they did re-discover some of that momentum on Saturday, the over-riding lesson of their victory over Leicester was the stark reminder that Chelsea’s season will be a degree tougher in the long run and that they still struggle against well-organised teams. True, they won comfortably enough in the end with goals from Diego Costa and Eden Hazard. And they could even afford a carnival moment towards the end, with Didier Drogba coming on, a hero returning to his natural home, on 79 minutes.

(CNN) -- Score another win for the power of music -- and Bruno Mars gets the assist. Medical personnel at a hospital in Cleveland, Ohio, are crediting the "Just the Way You Are" singer with helping the recovery of 11-year-old Zumyah Thorpe. According to reports from CNN affiliate WKYC, Thorpe was severely injured in a March 2013 car accident that killed her pregnant mother and two sisters. Thorpe suffered horrific brain swelling that required the removal of part of her skull. While she recovered, nurses played songs by Mars every day. "I asked her who her favorite singer was and she said 'Bruno Mars' as quick as anyone would say any singer," Nancy Bass, a pediatric neurologist at UH Rainbow Babies & Children's Hospital, told the station. "And she just started singing every single word. It definitely brought a tear to my eye."

Article: Nothing makes a guy feel special like showing him your true self. This is especially true if you don't normally show it to other people. Be silly, be strange, be wild — whatever you feel like being! This shows how comfortable you feel around him, which in turn will make him lower his guard as well. Timing is important here. While you should start to lower your guard once it's clear that you like each other, you shouldn't immediately start launching into your most bizarre habits. This can be confusing. Instead, introduce these things gradually so you both have a chance to get used to each others' true selves. Ironically, believing in yourself can make your special guy feel more valued. Don't feel nervous or pressured to make your man feel special. Instead, stay relaxed and casual. Be friendly and act genuinely interested in what he has to say, but don't, for instance, force yourself to laugh at a joke you don't find funny. Try to keep eye contact with him when you're having a conversation. Smile when he makes you feel good. These simple gestures show him that you're confident in your own skin and confident loving him. On the other hand, avoiding eye contact, staring at your feet, or nervously hanging on his every word will get the opposite result. Guys sometimes aren't the best at reading other peoples' emotions, so being nervous, timid, or quiet can make it seem like there's something wrong with him. Guys are often pressured to act strong and hyper-confident, so being able to take some of this burden off his shoulders can be greatly appreciated. For example, if someone in public disrespects him or is rude, you don't have to meekly stand by and wait for him to handle it. Feel free to stand up for him with your words and actions. This will make him feel like you are willing to go out of your way to protect him, which shows how much you care about him. Guys sometimes don't get lots of opportunities to express anxieties and feelings of vulnerability. They often feel pressure to act like nothing ever worries them. They may even have been taught that showing vulnerability (through fear, crying, etc.) is a sign of weakness. You know better, so make sure he knows that you'll always be there for him. Let him know that, around you, he doesn't have to be strong all of the time. Offering a hand to hold and a shoulder to cry on when things are not going well for him can make him feel like the most special guy in the world. Some men may not take every opportunity to share their fears and anxieties with you. Try not to feel unwanted if he pretends that everything is fine when it's obviously not. Offering your help (even if he declines it) shows that you care about him and are always eager to help him. Be ready to support him when he does ask for your help.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Be yourself. Be confident. Stand up for your man. Give him your support when he's down.
Article: Chocolate chips and chocolate bars don't usually use true chocolate and do not have the same rich taste as couverture chocolate. However, they are more stable—meaning they can be microwaved—and are a lot cheaper than couverture chocolate. Always look at the ingredients first to determine the chocolate type. Confectionary chocolate—cheaper chocolates rich in carbohydrates and sugar—contain vegetable fat instead of cocoa butter. You can use any chocolate for molded chocolate. In general, anything with vegetable fat (most store-bought chocolates) is going to be easier to melt but not as tasty. If you're making chocolate with kids, confectionary chocolate is a great choice because it comes in lots of different colors. Couverture chocolate is high-quality and tastes great, but much is more expensive than standard chocolate. It also must be heated with a double-boiler. But if you're picky about your chocolate, couverture chocolate is worth the price! Check the ingredients to determine the chocolate type. Couverture chocolate contains cocoa liquor, cocoa butter, sugar, and vanilla. Any chocolate with cocoa butter must be tempered, which means you must use a double-boiler. if you’re using couverture chocolate. Heat 1 pound (450 g) of couverture chocolate on low for 15 minutes. Place your chocolate into the top pan or bowl. Set the heat to low—2 or 3 on your stove dial—and boil it for about 15 minutes. Use a cooking thermometer to make sure the chocolate is 110 °F (43 °C) when it's done. Be sure to stir the chocolate every 1 to 2 minutes once you notice it start to melt. If you don't own a double-boiler, make one on your own. Never use an oven without the help of an adult.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Buy chocolate bars or chips for the cheapest option. Purchase couverture chocolate for the best taste. Double-boil the chocolate
Article: Place the tack strips about 0.25 to 0.5 inches (0.64 to 1.27 cm) from the wall in a straight line. Make sure the tacks are pointed toward the wall, not the center of the room. Use 2 nails for each strip, nailing it into the wood below. Some tack strips come with the nails already in place, and you just hit them in. If you need to cut a strip to size, slice through it with a handsaw. On concrete, you may be able to just pound it in the same way if the concrete is soft enough. If not, drill holes where the nails go using a concrete bit of the same size and then pound aluminum nails in. You'll also need tacking strips around things like floor vents. Roll out the padding, starting from one side of the room and moving to the other. Slice it off with a box cutter when you get to the other wall, making sure you have enough on both ends. Cut it just on the inside of the tack strips. Roll out the next set of padding right next to the first. Make sure you're matching up the seams evenly so that you don't have hills and valleys on the floor. Walk across the floor and press staples into place every 2 feet (0.61 m) or so. Also, make sure to staple the padding along the inside edge of the tacking strip to hold it in place against the strip. With concrete, you need to put padding glue down underneath the padding instead. In that case, just lift up one side at a time to apply the glue in an even layer. After you've rolled and cut the whole floor, use a long piece of duct tape down each seam. You may need to use more than 1 strip, but the duct tape will help keep the seams together. Smooth it out with your hands to make sure it won't come up.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
|
Nail the tack strips into place as needed. Lay out the padding on the floor. Staple the padding into place with a staple gun. Duct tape the seams together.

Here is a question about this article: East Tucson is relatively new compared to other parts of the city, developed between the 1950s and the 1970s,[citation needed] with developments such as Desert Palms Park. It is generally classified as the area of the city east of Swan Road, with above-average real estate values relative to the rest of the city. The area includes urban and suburban development near the Rincon Mountains. East Tucson includes Saguaro National Park East. Tucson's "Restaurant Row" is also located on the east side, along with a significant corporate and financial presence. Restaurant Row is sandwiched by three of Tucson's storied Neighborhoods: Harold Bell Wright Estates, named after the famous author's ranch which occupied some of that area prior to the depression; the Tucson Country Club (the third to bear the name Tucson Country Club), and the Dorado Country Club. Tucson's largest office building is 5151 East Broadway in east Tucson, completed in 1975. The first phases of Williams Centre, a mixed-use, master-planned development on Broadway near Craycroft Road, were opened in 1987. Park Place, a recently renovated shopping center, is also located along Broadway (west of Wilmot Road).
What is the answer to this question: When was East Tucson developed?

The problem: Answer a question about this article:
However, Mathews' frustration with Whitehead's books did not negatively affect his interest. In fact, there were numerous philosophers and theologians at Chicago's Divinity School that perceived the importance of what Whitehead was doing without fully grasping all of the details and implications. In 1927 they invited one of America's only Whitehead experts – Henry Nelson Wieman – to Chicago to give a lecture explaining Whitehead's thought. Wieman's lecture was so brilliant that he was promptly hired to the faculty and taught there for twenty years, and for at least thirty years afterward Chicago's Divinity School was closely associated with Whitehead's thought.
Who was frustrated in Whitehead's books but still interested?
****
The answer: Mathews
Problem: Please answer a question about the following article about United States dollar:
Early releases of the Washington coin included error coins shipped primarily from the Philadelphia mint to Florida and Tennessee banks. Highly sought after by collectors, and trading for as much as $850 each within a week of discovery, the error coins were identified by the absence of the edge impressions "E PLURIBUS UNUM IN GOD WE TRUST 2007 P". The mint of origin is generally accepted to be mostly Philadelphia, although identifying the source mint is impossible without opening a mint pack also containing marked units. Edge lettering is minted in both orientations with respect to "heads", some amateur collectors were initially duped into buying "upside down lettering error" coins. Some cynics also erroneously point out that the Federal Reserve makes more profit from dollar bills than dollar coins because they wear out in a few years, whereas coins are more permanent. The fallacy of this argument arises because new notes printed to replace worn out notes, which have been withdrawn from circulation, bring in no net revenue to the government to offset the costs of printing new notes and destroying the old ones. As most vending machines are incapable of making change in banknotes, they commonly accept only $1 bills, though a few will give change in dollar coins.
What do vending machines commonly only accept?
A: $1 bills

Problem: Kievan Rus' also played an important genealogical role in European politics. Yaroslav the Wise, whose stepmother belonged to the Macedonian dynasty, the greatest one to rule Byzantium, married the only legitimate daughter of the king who Christianized Sweden. His daughters became queens of Hungary, France and Norway, his sons married the daughters of a Polish king and a Byzantine emperor (not to mention a niece of the Pope), while his granddaughters were a German Empress and (according to one theory) the queen of Scotland. A grandson married the only daughter of the last Anglo-Saxon king of England. Thus the Rurikids were a well-connected royal family of the time.
To which dynasty did Yarolav's step mother belong to?
The answer is the following: Macedonian dynasty
Input: Article: Most of the world's airports are owned by local, regional, or national government bodies who then lease the airport to private corporations who oversee the airport's operation. For example, in the United Kingdom the state-owned British Airports Authority originally operated eight of the nation's major commercial airports - it was subsequently privatized in the late 1980s, and following its takeover by the Spanish Ferrovial consortium in 2006, has been further divested and downsized to operating just five. Germany's Frankfurt Airport is managed by the quasi-private firm Fraport. While in India GMR Group operates, through joint ventures, Indira Gandhi International Airport and Rajiv Gandhi International Airport. Bengaluru International Airport and Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport are controlled by GVK Group. The rest of India's airports are managed by the Airports Authority of India.

How to lose weight fast with exercise
Do 1-3 days of high intensity exercises or interval training each week.

input: Article: The app, Rela, is no longer available in the Android or Apple app stores, and its website and Sina Weibo account have been deleted.
Users began to notice that the app was not accessible last week. It is unclear why it has been shut down.
Rela told its users on WeChat that the service had been suspended for an "important adjustment in service".
"Rela has always been with you and please await its return!"
The state internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), has not commented on the shutdown.
Some users have suggested that it was connected to Rela's support for parents of LGBT children who wanted to take part in a "marriage market" in Shanghai on 20 May.
The group joined the weekly event in People's Park where older parents try to find partners for their unmarried sons and daughters, and handed out "educational flyers".
According to Sixth Tone, security officers ordered the group to leave the park, saying they had not registered their "advertising event" with the police.
It is not illegal to be gay in China, but homosexuality was considered to be a mental disorder until 2001 and attitudes towards it remain conservative.
In April, a Chinese dating app aimed at gay and bisexual men, Zank, was shut down after the CAC accused it of broadcasting pornographic content.
But in February, another dating app, Blued, received substantial funding from the state-backed Beijing News.
Rela's closure comes a week after a Chinese gaming company completed its buyout of Grindr, the world's biggest gay social networking app.
Beijing Kunlun Tech bought a 61.5% stake in Grindr in January 2016 for $93m (£72.3m). Last week, it announced it was buying the remaining 38.5% for $152m (£118m).
It also coincides with Taiwan's top court ruling in favour of legalising same-sex marriage.
Summarize.
output: A Chinese dating app for lesbians that has more than five million users has been shut down.
Article: Hannah Witheridge, 23, from Norfolk and David Miller, 24, of Jersey, were killed on the island of Koh Tao.
Laura Witheridge said police "bungled" the investigation and had "nothing to tell us". She said she feels frightened after being sent defaced photographs from people in Thailand.
The Thai Embassy and Royal Thai Police have been asked to comment.
Burmese migrants Zaw Lin and Wai Phyo were last month convicted of the 2014 murders and sentenced to death.
Laura Witheridge made her comments in a public post on Facebook, which has since been shared more than 4,000 times, but has declined to speak to the BBC about the claims.
It comes after the family of Isle of Wight bricklayer Luke Miller, found dead in Kao Tao last week, said it had concerns over the inquiry into his death.
Miss Witheridge said her family had been expecting a briefing when they travelled to Thailand soon after Hannah's death to collect her body, but were instead "ambushed by a mob of hungry journalists" at police headquarters.
"The Thai police chief had no intentions of giving us an update… after all, the bungled investigation meant he had nothing to tell us," she said.
She claims she has had "many death threats from Thai people" since her sister's murder, has been sent crime scene photographs and been chased in her car.
"They defaced photographs of me saying that the killers had only done 'half the job'… people commented on these photographs saying things like 'there is still time', and 'tick tock tick tock'.
Miss Witheridge, who claims Thailand's "aesthetic beauty can lure you into a very dangerous trap", said she was now frightened of her own shadow and is constantly looking over her shoulder.
"I am exhausted, but frightened to sleep because of the nightmares. I miss my sister desperately," she said.
"My heart is heavy and my mind is tired."
Amnesty International has called for an independent inquiry over allegations Thai police tortured both defendants during the inquiry.
On their conviction in December Michael Miller, David's brother, urged those who had doubted the accused's guilt to respect the court's decision.
++++++++++
Summarize: The sister of a Thai murder victim has criticised the police inquiry into the case and says she got death threats.
Problem: The 41-year-old was walking in Westwood Crescent, Hamilton, when he was attacked by three men who got out of a dark BMW car at about 16:15 on Monday.
The man is being treated for his injuries at Wishaw General Hospital.
Police are trying to establish a motive and are studying CCTV footage and conducting door-to-door inquiries. They have appealed for witnesses.
The three suspects are described as between 20 to 30 years old.
Two of the men were wearing black jackets with goggles stitched into the hoods.
The third man was wearing a camouflage jacket. He had blond hair which was shaved close on the side.
Dot Sgt Martin McKendrick, of Police Scotland, said: "This was a particularly vicious attack and as yet we have still to establish a motive.
"I want to reassure those living in the area that incidents of this nature are rare. We are doing all that we can currently to trace those responsible. We have conducted door-to-door inquiries and we continue to analyse available CCTV.
"I would like to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity of Westwood Crescent on 12 January around 1600 hours who either witnessed this attack or has noticed a dark BMW vehicle in the area."
Det Sgt McKendrick added: "It's important we trace those responsible and any information you may have could greatly assist our investigation."
What was that article about?
A: A man is in a stable condition in hospital after being stabbed in an unprovoked attack in South Lanarkshire.
Question:
Article:A number of officers in Gilford, Banbridge and Portadown had their vehicles and homes set on fire and, in some cases, destroyed between April and July last year.
Det Insp Keith Gawley described the attacks on the officers as "serious and life-endangering".
He appealed for information.
The arrests on Tuesday followed searches at houses in Larne, Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon.
A number of items were taken away for examination.
The chairman of the Police Federation for Northern Ireland, Mark Lindsay, condemned the attacks.
"We've seen far too many attacks on the homes of officers. Families have been left traumatised," he said.
"Fortunately, no-one was injured. They are a clear attempt to bully, intimidate and terrorise, but they won't succeed."
The six men and three women are being questioned at Musgrave police station.
They have been arrested on suspicion of a range of offences, including arson with intent to endanger lives, theft, conspiracy to cause an explosion and possession of controlled drugs.
Det Insp Gawley said the police investigation was also focused on "offences involving drugs".
Summarize the main points of that article.
Answer:
|
Nine people have been arrested by police investigating a number of arson attacks on the homes of serving police officers.

Problem: Staff were told the move was needed because the council needed to cut £1.5m a year from its libraries budget.
The meeting was told a "core network" of five libraries would be within two miles of 91% of residents' homes.
If approved by the borough council's cabinet and scrutiny committee, the restructure would come into force in April.
Library staff will learn of their fate on 22 December.
Conservative councillor Mary Martin said a lack of government funding "necessitated" a consultation into "how local libraries are provided and what are the most important services for people".
The five libraries chosen to be in the "core network" are Central, North Swindon, West Swindon, Highworth, and Park.
The 10 other libraries would see opening hours reduced to 15 hours per week from 5 April and would probably be funded until 31 August.
But the mobile library service will be axed from the end of March.
Sarah Church, of Save Swindon's Libraries campaign group, said it was "dreadful news" for staff who would lose or have to reapply for their jobs.
She added the move left "a lot of questions" and she was concerned for library users "in an area where they may not be a branch library next year".
Expressions of interest to run a community library need to be made before the end of January and a one-off fund of up to £500,000 will be available to fund the transition.
What was that article about?
A: Ten of Swindon's 15 libraries will close unless community groups take them over, a council has warned.

Problem: Similar memorials have sprung up recently following the deaths of music legend David Bowie and Motorhead's Lemmy, with fans using social media to share their tributes from the sites.
Flowers, notes and scarves were left at the site at London's King's Cross Station hours after news of Alan Rickman's death broke.
The film and theatre actor, who died on Thursday, reached a new generation of devotees when he played Professor Severus Snape in the Harry Potter films.
Jon in London shared his photos. He says: "Harry Potter has been part of my childhood.
"I grew up with Harry, but Snape was always my favourite character. Alan brought him so brilliantly to life.
"I even have a Slytherin tattoo!
"It definitely feels a part of Snape has passed on with Alan and I wanted to mark it with a fitting tribute at King's Cross."
Claire in London: "I've been a fan from the start of the books, the films brought my imagination of the books to life.
"Alan Rickman was perfect as Snape. No-one would have been able to play him any better.
"I was passing the area and decided to go and take a moment to remember Alan Rickman and what he did for the Harry Potter world."
As every Harry Potter fan knows, platform 9 3/4 is where young wizards leave for Hogwarts. This fan didn't want to miss the chance to pay homage at the makeshift shrine.
It's not the first time fans have expressed their grief at the passing of a celebrity by gravitating to a spot that they are synonymous with.
When David Bowie died flowers began to appear at a mural in Brixton in London, the area where he was born.
Coralie Grassin from Hampshire shared her photo of a David Bowie mural on Facebook after paying her respects: "It was strange and very emotional. But there were also a lot of selfies being taken.
"The popularity of social media means you can share the moment with fans who aren't there.
"But it also feels like you have to prove your presence, to be 'trendy'.
"I watched a girl spend 10 minutes trying to photograph the red rose she was holding with the perfect background. First with her camera, then with her phone. By the time she was finished, there was no emotion left. She threw the rose on the pile and left.
"Thankfully though some raw emotions do survive modern times."
Perhaps it is understandable that the death of a public figure triggers a public display of mourning.
In December, when British rock star Lemmy Kilmister lost his battle with cancer, devotees packed his favourite bar and grill, the Rainbow on Sunset Strip in Los Angeles in the US.
They placed flowers, cigarettes and bottles of Jack Daniel's on a makeshift shrine on the pavement outside the bar.
On the bar's patio, they signed their names and on a giant picture of him they wrote their tributes.
Joe Bagnato from Florida was one fan who travelled to the Rainbow. "There is no Motorhead unless Lemmy is behind that Rickenbacker bass," he said.
Following the death of Amy Winehouse in 2011, flowers and messages began appearing outside the singer's Camden home in London.
Today a permanent memorial stands in Camden so fans can continue to pay their respects.
Perhaps it was the death of Princess Diana that marked a shift in the way we mourn.
In 1997, when the "people's princess" died, thousands of individual moments of quiet reflection were demonstrated publicly.
Now the spread of the internet and increasing social media use allows us the freedom to easily share those expressions of our collective grief.

Hindu scriptures describe hunting as an acceptable occupation, as well as a sport of the kingly. Even figures considered godly are described to have engaged in hunting. One of the names of the god Shiva is Mrigavyadha, which translates as "the deer hunter" (mriga means deer; vyadha means hunter). The word Mriga, in many Indian languages including Malayalam, not only stands for deer, but for all animals and animal instincts (Mriga Thrishna). Shiva, as Mrigavyadha, is the one who destroys the animal instincts in human beings. In the epic Ramayana, Dasharatha, the father of Rama, is said to have the ability to hunt in the dark. During one of his hunting expeditions, he accidentally killed Shravana, mistaking him for game. During Rama's exile in the forest, Ravana kidnapped his wife, Sita, from their hut, while Rama was asked by Sita to capture a golden deer, and his brother Lakshman went after him. According to the Mahabharat, Pandu, the father of the Pandavas, accidentally killed the sage Kindama and his wife with an arrow, mistaking them for a deer. Krishna is said to have died after being accidentally wounded by an arrow of a hunter.
What is the translation of Mrigavyadha?
"the deer hunter"
Input: Chinese characters
Modern examples particularly include Chinese characters for SI units. In Chinese these units are disyllabic and standardly written with two characters, as 厘米 límǐ "centimeter" (厘 centi-, 米 meter) or 千瓦 qiānwǎ "kilowatt". However, in the 19th century these were often written via compound characters, pronounced disyllabically, such as 瓩 for 千瓦 or 糎 for 厘米 – some of these characters were also used in Japan, where they were pronounced with borrowed European readings instead. These have now fallen out of general use, but are occasionally seen. Less systematic examples include 圕 túshūguǎn "library", a contraction of 圖書館, A four-morpheme word, 社会主义 shèhuì zhǔyì "socialism", is commonly written with a single character formed by combining the last character, 义, with the radical of the first, 社, yielding roughly 礻义.

Input: Mickelson finished tied for 23rd after going in as defending champion. The American memorably mounted a late charge on the final day in 2013. But the left-hander was unable to retain his title at Hoylake. He shot a final-round 68 in a gallant push to crack the top-20. He described his final score of five-under-par as 'disappointing' but promised to increase his efforts to win The Open at St Andrews next year.
Output: By. John Greechan. Click here to see the final leaderboard from Royal Liverpool. It was certainly a respectable defence from a champion who enjoyed his victory as much as any of his illustrious predecessors. If Phil Mickelson could not quite muster the game needed to retain the Claret Jug, the fact that he did more than just hang around for four days – almost cracking the top 20 – meant a great deal. As for how it felt to be leaving Hoylake knowing that someone else had just taken his crown? Well, in true Californian style, the ultra-positive Mickelson merely sees it as the ideal motivation to reclaim the title he values so dearly – when The Open returns to the Home of Golf in 12 months’ time. Asked for the exact location of the empty spot where the trophy had spent the last year, Mickelson laughed as he said: ‘My heart … Yeah, I just kind of carried it around. VIDEO Scroll down to watch Phil Mickelson: My game's not far off where it needs to be. Respectable: Phil Mickelson made a gallant defence of his Open crown to push for a top-20 place. Positive reception: The Hoylake crowd gave Mickelson warm applause as he finished his final round. Strong finish: The American left-hander ended his tournament on five-under at Hoylake. ‘It is hard to leave here without it. But it’s a good motivating factor for me, knowing how great it felt to. win this tournament – and makes me want to work harder and get ready and. prepared for St. Andrews next year. ‘I. can’t think of a better site or golf course to win any tournament ever. than St Andrews. And to have The Open back is a great opportunity. And. I’ll be working hard to try to get it back.’ Revealing. the details of a conversation with R&A chief executive Peter Dawson. at the back of the 18th green on Sunday, Lefty said: ‘He was just. thanking me - and I was thanking him for a great year. We’ve been in. touch a lot this year and he’s been terrific. ‘He’s done such a great job with the R&A. And it’s been fun representing him, the R&A and The Open Championship. ‘Coming. here, I played about as well as I could. I didn’t score quite as well. as I could, but I played about as well as I could. In looking at the. lead going into today’s round, from the way that I teed off on Thursday. and Friday, I was only a few shots off the lead. And I think that shows. that my game is not far off. ‘To win this tournament you need to not only play great golf, but you need to have a few breaks and you need to have luck.’ Under the weather: Mickelson did not do enough over his four rounds to challenge the leaderboard. While. Mickelson, who shot a 68 to finish five-under and tied 23rd for the. tournament, hopes to mount another challenge next summer in the Kingdom. of Fife, the achievement of Rory McIlroy in winning his third major. has some predicting a new era of domination by the young. Northern Irishman. Cautioning. against getting carried away, the 44-year-old said: ‘Well, you never. can discount it - we used to say there will never be another Nicklaus,. and then along came Tiger. You never want to discount the possibility of. someone coming along and dominating. ‘But. nobody has really asserted themselves week in and week out the way. Tiger did for such a long period of time. We’ll have great performances,. like Rory this week. Like Martin Kaymer at the U.S. Open, and so forth. But it’s very hard to do that week in and week out the way Tiger did. That’s why it was so impressive what he did.’ All smiles: He has vowed to return better next year for The Open at St Andrews.
Input: Rory McIlroy bidding to win second straight major at British Open. McIlroy has not played competitively since winning U.S. Open last month. Northern Irish star defends his preparation for Royal St George's. World number one Luke Donald says he is in the form of his life.
Output: (CNN) -- Rory McIlroy has defended his preparation for this week's British Open as he bids to win back-to-back majors without playing any competitive golf since his U.S. Open triumph at Congressional. The 22-year-old from Northern Ireland has drawn comparisons with Tiger Woods for the manner of his eight-shot triumph, but has not lifted a club in anger in the intervening three weeks. It has led his former Ryder Cup captain Colin Montgomerie to question the wisdom of the lack of match practice, but McIlroy was adamant Tuesday that his approach worked for him. "I mean, I've prepared the exact same way that I've prepared for the last few major championships, and I feel it's a process that works for me, " he told of the official British Open website. "Coming to the course the week before, getting a couple of practise rounds in, and then not really getting to the course until Tuesday afternoon. "That works for me. I used to do it to sort of keep under the radar. I'm not sure I'll be able to do that anymore. But it works for me. Caddying for the world number one. "It might not work for other people, but I feel as if it's the best way for me to approach a tournament. It seems to have worked the last few times, so I just need to keep doing that." McIlroy has also had to cope with being catapulted into celebrity ranks, with a high-profile appearance at the Wimbledon tennis championships plus a host of other media commitments. He admitted the reaction to his first major success had been something of a surprise. "I didn't realize how much of a fuss it would create or how much of a buzz," said McIlroy. "I've already sort of noticed over the past three weeks it has been a bit of a life-changing experience, and it's just something I'm going to have to deal with." McIlroy tees off at Royal St George's in the 140th edition of golf's oldest major at 9.09 local time with Ernie Els of South African and fellow young gun Rickie Fowler of the United States. He will be looking to match the spectacular 63 at last year's British Open at St Andrews which gave him the first round lead, but not the second round 80 which ended his chances of victory. Meanwhile, world number one Luke Donald bids for back-to-back victories of his own after claiming the Scottish Open at Castle Stewart at the weekend. Donald, who took over the mantle from fellow Englishman Lee Westwood, admitted he was in the form of his life. "This is probably the best I have ever played," he said as he reflected on a stellar 2011 which has seen him claim three victories and a clutch of top-10 finishes. It was kickstarted by his victory at the WGC World Match Play tournament in Arizona. "As soon as you get that one win, it kind of opened up the door, gave me a lot of confidence, and I've been playing very well since then," he added.
Input: AMY1 gene makes a carb-busting compound and can influence weight. Gene makes enzyme in saliva that begins the breakdown of starchy food. It has been nicknamed the Atkins Gene after the popular diet. Study finds that those with more copies of the gene are likely to be slim.
Output:

The secret to staying slim could be in saliva. Researchers have found that a gene that makes a carb-busting compound has a large influence on weight. Nicknamed the Atkins Gene in some quarters after the popular diet, its official scientific nickname is AMY1. The gene makes an enzyme that is found in saliva and begins the breakdown and digestion of starchy foods like chips, crisps and rice. Carbohydrates: Researchers have found that a gene that makes an enzyme found in saliva begins the breakdown of starchy food and can have a large influence on weight. The study showed that people who had more copies of the gene made more of the enzyme and were more likely to be slim. Although we normally think of genes as coming in pairs, some people will only have one copy of a gene. Others will have two, three or even more. In the case of the AMY1 gene, it possible to have up to 20 copies. Those who had fewer copies would be likely to find carbohydrates more difficult to digest - and therefore more likely to put on weight the journal Nature Genetics reports. Nickname: The AMY1 gene has been nicknamed the Atkins Gene after the popular diet devised by Dr Robert Atkins (pictured) It is not clear why. But one possibility is that the undigested starch is feasted on by gut bacteria that fuel obesity by tinkering with the metabolism. The researchers, from King’s College London and Imperial College London, said that future dietary advice may have to be tailored to a person’s digestive system. Professor Tim Spector, the study’s joint lead author, said: ‘These findings are very exciting. ‘The next step is to find out more about the activity of this digestive enzyme and whether this might prove a useful marker or target for the treatment of obesity. ‘In the future, a simple blood or saliva test might be used to measure levels of key enzymes such as amylase in the body and therefore shape dietary advice for both overweight and underweight people. ‘Treatments are a long way away but this is an important step in realising that all of us digest and metabolise food differently – and we can move away from ‘one-size fits all diets’ to more personalised approaches.'
