Write a brief summary of the document. | Pictures appear to show the structure - near the city of Villavicencio and made of boards and rope - dangling on its side.
It is believed to have collapsed under excess weight, the reports say.
The bridge is a local tourist attraction and was crowded with people enjoying a public holiday.
Young children are among the dead, with those on the bridge at the time reportedly plunging 80m (265ft) into a ravine.
All I left behind. All I will discover, is being held at London's Oxo Tower as part of Refugee Week.
More than 80 teens aged 15 to 19 from countries including Syria, Eritrea and Sudan have contributed to the project.
They all separated from their families and now live in London or Kent.
Each artist's work is inspired by their memories of home, journey to the UK and hopes for the future.
The British Red Cross, which is supporting the young artists, said many of them came to Europe during the height of the 2015 refugee crisis.
Others made their way across the Sahara and were detained in Libya before crossing the Mediterranean on their way to the UK.
The exhibition is held at gallery@oxo at the Oxo Tower from 21-25 June.

The two were dragged out of a car by a group of men along a highway between Noida, a Delhi suburb, and Kanpur city on Friday, reports said.
Three male relatives travelling with them were assaulted and tied up.
The incident has caused outrage across the country and raised questions about police efficiency.
Some of the victims alleged that they got no response from the official helpline number.
One of the men who was attacked told the Hindustan Times newspaper that the line had been continually busy and that when they finally got through, the officer at the other end of the line had "repeatedly asked questions instead of rescuing the family".
Family members also alleged that a police van had driven past the field in Bulandshahr area where the incident took place, but had not stopped.
Senior police officer Sujeet Pandey told BBC Hindi on Monday that the three men, who were arrested on Sunday, were remanded in prison after they were identified by their victims.
Three more men were detained today, he added.
The Uttar Pradesh state government has suspended seven policemen in connection with the incident and set up a 300-member taskforce to investigate the incident.
The family was also robbed of money, jewellery and their mobile phones.
Scrutiny of sexual violence in India has grown since the 2012 gang rape and murder of a student on a Delhi bus.
However, brutal sexual attacks against women and children continue to be reported across the country.
A lack of infrastructure has hindered tourism as much of the sparsely-inhabited interior is accessible only by river.
The ethnically-diverse population enjoys one of the higher standards of living in the continent, propped up by the French social security system and subsidies.
Street violence in the 1990s, fuelled partly by high youth unemployment, was seen as manifestations of tension with Paris. However, voters rejected the option of increased autonomy in a 2010 referendum.
France occupied the territory in the 17th century. The Dutch and Spanish also settled the area. Until the 1930s, France dispatched convicts to penal colonies there, including the notorious Devil's Island. Another former penal settlement, Kourou, is home to a European Space Agency rocket launch site, accounting for a significant slice of GDP and lending strategic value.

Can you provide an overview of this section? | The German L48 was one of the most advanced "height climber" airships, but in 1917 the Zeppelin ran into problems and was shot down over rural Suffolk.
About 100 people gathered at St Peter's Church in Theberton and Eastbridge on Sunday to mark the centenary.
Former BBC Breakfast host Bill Turnbull read a survivor's account at the event.
Suffolk Coastal MP Therese Coffey and Colonel Hermann Hanke, from the German Air Attache to the UK and Republic of Ireland, also attended the service - where candles were lit for each of the German victims and the men from Theberton who died in the conflict.
Col Hauke said that the service showed "friendship can grow out of hatred and tragedy".
"We should not give up working to overcome divisions between people today, however hard and almost impossible it would appear."
On 17 June 1917, the Germans dispatched two Zeppelins during the fateful raid which were able to fly at altitudes of 13,000ft (4,000m) - way beyond the 8,000ft (2,400m) flight ceiling of English fighter aircraft.
One - L42 - crossed the Kent coast at Ramsgate and released its bombs, but L48 endured heavy winds over the Orford Ness coast.
Its compasses froze and it developed engine problems.
John Rea Price, one of the organisers of the service, told how the airship dropped a few bombs over Martlesham and Wickham Market before drifting over Saxmundham and Leiston.
There it was forced to descend to a height that put it in range of Royal Flying Corps fighters, he said.
"Completely crippled by the gunfire, after a terrible descent lasting seven minutes as it became engulfed in flames, the end came in a cornfield between Theberton and Eastbridge.
"Of the 18 crew there were just three survivors."
The dead were laid to rest in the village churchyard before being moved to the German cemetery in Staffordshire.
Hamilton striker Christian Nade's sister was caught up in the violence, in which 130 people were killed in the French capital on 13 November.
The Scottish Premiership club said they wanted to show "sympathy and solidarity with the people of France".
Hamilton said the kit would be sent to French clubs to be sold for charity.
Accies player-manager Martin Canning told BBC Radio Scotland before kick-off: "Obviously that was upstairs that decided to do that and as players and staff we fully support it.
"But I said all week to the players our main focus is on the pitch and going and doing our job.
"We show our solidarity with what happened and we fully support it, but our main focus is to go and get three points."
Canning also has a Frenchman, former Hibernian and Coventry City midfielder Guillaume Beuzelin, as his assistant.
The club said discussions regarding the use of the French jerseys were sparked due to Aberdeen's first and second strips clashing with Hamilton's home kit, depriving its first-choice sponsor exposure in a "prestigious, home live TV fixture".
With Nade and Beuzelin in mind, it sought, and was granted, permission from the SPFL to utilise the French kit, complete with its home sponsors.
Accies could not source France's home kit in the requisite sizes, opting instead for the all-white away kit, and battling a "race against time to get them all badged, named, numbered, sponsored front and back and sleeve-badged" before the match.
The club intends to send the jerseys to each of the French Ligue 1 clubs for auctioning to charities.
On Friday, the English Premier League announced that the French national anthem - La Marseillaise - would be played before all of its matches this weekend.

Summarize the information in the following document. | Team Sky have admitted "mistakes were made" over the medical package, but deny breaking anti-doping rules.
The team have been unable to provide records to back up the claim Wiggins was given a legal decongestant at the Criterium du Dauphine in France.
"I'm fine in myself and have confidence in my team," Brailsford said.
Speaking to Cycling Weekly at the Tirreno-Adriatico race in Italy, he added: "My thoughts are about what's good for the team and what's right.
"Of course I'm not hiding. On a personal level, I've been through a lot over the years and it's important to make sure you can look at yourself and say there has been no wrongdoing. I'm confident of that.
"From a personal point of view, you've got to put the team first and the riders first."
On Monday, several Team Sky riders tweeted their support for Brailsford, but Chris Froome, a three-time Tour de France winner and the team's leading rider, has yet to comment publically.
Brailsford said he had had since spoken to Froome, but refused to elaborate on the detail, stating: "We had a good conversation, that's it."
UK Anti-Doping is investigating the package received by Dr Richard Freeman, an ex-Team Sky medic who pulled out of a parliamentary select committee hearing into the matter last week.
Earlier on Friday, British Cycling admitted it did not pay "sufficient care and attention" to the wellbeing of staff, following a leaked draft report into claims of a "culture of fear" at the body.
Published in the Daily Mail, it allegedly describes ex-performance director Brailsford as an "untouchable" figure within a "dysfunctional" leadership structure.
Gayus Tambunan was found guilty on four counts of corruption - including bribing his way out of bribery charges.
The case has gripped the nation as during the trial, the defendant managed to bribe his way out of jail dozens of times, including for overseas trips.
It has opened a window on government corruption, and damaged the president's reputation as an anti-graft reformer.
During the trial, Tambunan confessed to having helped powerful firms evade taxes, paying prosecutors and police officials, and relieving his stress by leaving his jail cell to watch an international tennis tournament in Bali.
He also admitted to having flown to Singapore, Kuala Lumpur and Macau using a forged passport while supposedly in detention.
In his attempt to avoid a heavy sentence, Tambunan offered to be made a special advisor to the nation's graft busters to help them catch not only the "small fish, but also the sharks and the whales" in the corrupt system.
He promised Indonesia would be "clean" within two years.
The judges did not consider this offer a factor, but did give him a lighter sentence than the 20 years demanded by prosecutors.
The case has embarrassed Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who came to power on an anti-corruption platform. | Sir Dave Brailsford says he will not resign as Team Sky boss, despite the controversy over a 2011 'mystery package' sent for Sir Bradley Wiggins.

Provide a brief summary for the information below. | The failure of Dunfermline Athletic's full-time squad to live up to their billing as title favourites led to the exit of Jim Jefferies midway through the season, while his successor, John Potter, was replaced with Allan Johnston at the end of the season.
Former Pars assistant Jimmy Nicholl stood down as neighbours Cowdenbeath were relegated from the Championship, with ex-Dunfermline striker Colin Nish being promoted from within as his replacement.
Stranraer's success in challenging for the title led to Stevie Aitken being poached by Championship club Dumbarton, with Brian Reid taking over at Stair Park.
Brechin City's top-four finish helped Ray McKinnon win the top job with Raith Rovers and Darren Dods has swapped his defensive duties with Forfar Athletic for the manager's seat up the road at Glebe Park.
Cowdenbeath's relegation, Dunfermline's failure to even reach the promotion play-offs and Stenhousemuir's escape from relegation after their play-off win has led to the biggest exit of players from their respective squads.
Ayr United, Airdrieonians, Dunfermline, Stranraer and promoted Albion Rovers all appear to have strengthened their squad during the summer.
Key signing: At 34, Kevin McBride was no longer a force at Premiership level, but the midfielder released by Dundee brings with him lots of top-flight experience.
Intriguing arrival: Czech midfielder Nico Sumsky will be looking to prove himself in Scottish football having failed to break into the Hamilton Accies side since joining the Premiership outfit in January and now being sent out on loan.
One that got away: Experienced goalkeeper Andy McNeil has taken a step up to the Championship with Alloa Athletic.
In: Kevin McBride, midfielder (Dundee); David van Zanten, defender (Dumbarton); Sean Crighton, defender (Greenock Morton); Alan Lithgow, defender (Stenhousemuir); David Cox, midfielder (Peterhead); Neil Parry, goalkeeper (Albion Rovers); Caolan McAleer, forward (East Fife); Adam Brown, midfielder (St Mirren). Loan: Nico Sumsky, midfielder (Hamilton Academical); Taylor Morgan, forward (Ostersunds); George Hunter, forward (St Johnstone).
Out: Andy McNeil, goalkeeper (Alloa Athletic); Ross Docherty, midfielder (Ayr United); Paddy Boyle, defender (Ayr United); Nathan Blockley, midfielder (Peterhead); Jamie Watson, forward (Annan Athletic); Robert Wilson, defender (Berwick Rangers); Bryan Gilfillan, midfielder; Jack Kirwan, forward; John Boyle, forward; Scott Gray, midfielder. Loan ended: Liam Lindsay, defender (Partick Thistle).
Last season: 5th
Prediction: 3rd. Gary Bollan's side went on an excellent end-of-season run that steered them clear of relegation and, although there have been personnel changes over the summer, they should be challenging at the top rather than bottom this season.
Key signing: Andy Barrowman has top-flight experience on his travels - Rovers' is the 14th different club shirt he has worn - and the 30-year-old will hope to contribute more than the eight goals he achieved in the same division with Dunfermline Athletic last season.
Intriguing arrival: Having been dismissed as Scotland Under-21 boss last year, former St Mirren manager Billy Stark is Rovers player-boss Darren Young's new assistant, succeeding Sandy Clark, who moved to a similar role with Dunfermline Athletic.
One that got away: Former Patrick Thistle striker Mark McGuigan's 11 goals last season helped Rovers win the League Two title last season, but the 26-year-old will be in opposition this season with Stranraer.
In: Billy Stark, assistant manager; Ross Stewart, goalkeeper (Motherwell); Andrew Barrowman, forward (Dunfermline Athletic); Mark Ferry, midfielder (Stirling Albion); Paul Willis, midfielder (Berwick Rangers); Scott McBride, midfielder (Arbroath); Yamikani Misanjo, forward (Rossvale); Callum McRobbie, forward (Shettleston).
Out: Sandy Clark, assistant manager (Dunfermline Athletic); Mark McGuigan, forward (Stranraer); Neil Parry, goalkeeper (Airdrieonians); Marc McKenzie, forward (Elgin City); Kieran Hughes, goalkeeper (Kilbirnie Ladeside); Ciaran Donnelly, defender (Kilbirnie Ladeside); Jamie Pollock, midfielder (Gartcairn); TJ McCluskey, forward (St Roch's); Scott Chaplain, midfielder (retired); Liam Cusack, forward; Scott Stevenson, midfielder; Martin McGuire, defender; Gary Phillips, midfielder.
Last season: League Two champions (and promotion)
Prediction: 10th. Darren Young led the unfashionable Wee Rovers to only their third league title. Traditionally, lack of resources mean a swift return to the bottom tier and the former Aberdeen and Dunfermline midfielder will struggle to buck that trend.
Key signing: Having only made 10 appearances, mainly as a substitute, last season for Motherwell, Craig Moore has been sent out to gather more first-team experience. He scored seven goals in 12 games for Cowdenbeath in the second tier in 2013 and, now 20, could be a potent force at this level.
Intriguing arrival: Jamie Adams was touted for the big time when he was with Kilmarnock, but the midfielder spent three years out of the game after disappointing spells with Patrick Thistle and St Johnstone. Having rekindled his desire in helping Wigtown & Bladnoch win the South of Scotland League last season, the 27-year-old is back in the senior game.
One that got away: Adam Blakeman helped steer Ayr clear of relegation trouble after arriving from Hyde in January, but the 23-year-old defender has returned to his native England to join Southport in the Conference Premier.
In: Alan Trouten, midfielder (Brechin City); Ross Caldwell, forward (Greenock Morton); Andy Graham, defender (Dumbarton); Greg Fleming, goalkeeper (Stenhousemuir); Gerry McLauchlan, defender (Brechin City); Ross Docherty, midfielder (Airdrieonians); Paddy Boyle, defender (Airdrieonians); Jamie Adams, midfielder (Wigtown & Bladnoch); Kieran Woods, defender (Cumnock). Loan: Jordan Preston, forward (Blackburn Rovers); Craig Moore, forward (Motherwell).
Out: David Hutton, goalkeeper (Dunfermline Athletic); Adam Blakeman, defender (Southport); Craig Beattie, forward (Stirling Albion); Jon Paul McGovern, midfielder (Stirling Albion); Dale Shirkie, forward (Troon); David Robertson, midfielder; Ryan Donnelly, forward; Josh McArthur, defender; Peter McGill, midfielder. Loan ended: Morgyn Neill, defender (Motherwell); Jordan Preston, forward (Blackburn Rovers); Craig Murray, defender (Aberdeen).
Last season: 8th
Prediction: 5th. Ian McCall's side struggled at the end of last season, but he appears to have significantly strengthened the squad he inherited in January.
Key signing: Ross Perry has somewhat lost his way since winning Scotland Under-21 caps with Rangers. After spending the first half of last season with Raith Rovers in the Championship, the 25-year-old headed for Northampton Town but failed to play a single game for the English League Two outfit.
Intriguing arrival: Much was expected of Dene Shields when he won a £100,000 transfer to Sunderland from Raith Rovers back in 2000. Having done the rounds in Scotland's lower leagues, he has been a scoring machine in the Maltese Premier League with Hamrun Spartans then helping Xewikija Tigers win the Gozo First Division.
One that got away: Under manager Ray McKinnon, Brechin were one of the best and most consistent part-time teams in Scotland, but the former Dundee United and Aberdeen midfielder has been enticed to the Championship with Raith Rovers.
In: Darren Dods, manager/defender (Forfar Athletic); Willie Dyer, defender (Dundee); Euan Smith, midfielder (Kilmarnock); Jamie Montgomery, forward (Dundee United); Dene Shields, forward (Xewkija Tigers); Ross Perry, defender (Northampton Town); Jonathan Tiffoney, defender (Alloa Athletic); Craig Johnston, midfielder (Cowdenbeath); James Dale, midfielder (Forfar Athletic); David Weatherston, forward (Stirling Albion); Kevin Buchan, forward (Arbroath).
Out: Ray McKinnon, manager (Raith Rovers); Callum Tapping, midfielder (Queen of the South); Bobby Barr, midfielder (Greenock Morton); Colin Hamilton, defender (Alloa Athletic); Alan Trouten, midfielder (Ayr United); Gerry McLauchlan, defender (Ayr United); Greg Cameron, midfielder (Montrose); Ryan Ferguson, midfielder (Montrose); Ewan McNeil, defender (Berwick Rangers); Steven Jackson, defender; Ben Tough, goalkeeper. Loan ended: Craig Storie, midfielder (Aberdeen).
Last season: 4th
Prediction: 8th. The 40-year-old Darren Dods, who moved from Forfar as player-manager, has his work cut out to keep Brechin challenging for a play-off place with other clubs able to strengthen in comparison.
Key signing: Luke Armstrong is looking to emerge from the shadow of a well-known father - former Middlesbrough and Ipswich Town striker Alun Armstrong. The 19-year-old English striker was picked up by Birmingham City after being released last summer by Championship rivals Boro but found himself again seeking a new club.
Intriguing arrival: At 22, English winger Sam Orritt is a late starter to the senior game having played college football with Limestone College Saints Athletic in South Carolina.
One that got away: Nat Wedderburn began his career with Stoke City before spells with Notts County, Hereford United and Northampton Town and joining the Blue Brazil from Corby Town. The 24-year-old former England Under-19 cap had become a mainstay of Cowden's midfield but has won a step up to the Premiership with Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
In: Luke Armstrong, forward (Birmingham City); Mo Yaqub, defender (St Mirren); Greig Spence, forward (Alloa Athletic); Bradley Donaldson, defender (Livingston); Jack Beaumont, midfielder (Livingston); Sam Orritt, midfielder (Limestone College Saints Athletic); Cameron Muirhead, forward (Fife Elite Football Academy). Loan: Gordon Smith, forward (Dumbarton); Andy Murdoch, midfielder (Rangers).
Out: Jimmy Nicholl, manager; Nat Wedderburn, midfielder (Inverness Caledonian Thistle); Robbie Thomson, goalkeeper (Queen of the South); Darren Brownlie, defender (Queen of the South); Lewis Toshney, defender (Raith Rovers); Iain Campbell, defender (Forfar Athletic); Thomas O'Brien, defender (Forfar Athletic); Jon Robertson, midfielder (Stenhousemuir); Craig Johnston, midfielder (Brechin City); Sean Higgins, forward (Clyde); Michael Andrews, goalkeeper; Sammy Stewart, midfielder; Dale Finnie, defender; Aron Lynas, midfielder; Colini Mitchell, midfielder; Jordan Halsman, defender; James Martin, midfielder. Loan: Jack Wright (Musselburgh Athletic); Josh Wilson (St Andrews United); Josh Thomson (St Andrews United); Kyle Mitchell, forward (Penicuik Athletic). Loan ended: John Herron, midfielder (Celtic); Robbie Buchanan, defender (Hearts).
Last season: 10th in Championship (and relegation)
Prediction: 6th. With the departure of the experienced Jimmy Nicholl, Cowdenbeath saved money by promoting striker Colin Nish to player-manager, but will it prove an expensive decision in terms of their promotion hopes?
Key signing: The return of 28-year-old English winger Joe Cardle, the former fans favourite at East End Park having spent last season with Ross County in the Premiership, looks to be an astute piece of business.
Intriguing arrival: Winning the third-tier title and the Challenge Cup with Queen of the South got Allan Johnston a move to Kilmarnock, but the wheels came off at Rugby Park. The 41-year-old former Scotland winger will hope to emulate his feat in Dumfries with the Pars.
One that got away: The Pars under-performed last season under Jim Jefferies then John Potter, with the inevitable dismantling of the squad. Of the 18 players released, Ross Millen, the 20-year-old son of former St Mirren defender Andy, arguably had most potential and has stepped up a division with Livingston.
In: Allan Johnston, manager; Sandy Clark, assistant manager (Albion Rovers); Ben Richards-Everton, defender (Partick Thistle); Joe Cardle, midfielder (Ross County); Jason Talbot, defender (Livingston); Callum Fordyce, defender (Livingston); Michael Paton, midfielder (Queen of the South); David Hutton, goalkeeper (Ayr United); Sean Murdoch, goalkeeper (Rochester Rhinos).
Out: Gregor Buchanan, defender (Dumbarton); Kyle McAusland, defender (Alloa Athletic); Ross Millen, defender (Livingston); Andrew Barrowman, forward (Albion Rovers); Andy Stirling, midfielder (Stranraer); Ryan Thomson, midfielder (Stranraer); Allan Smith, forward (Stenhousemuir); Jonathan Page, defender (East Fife); Ryan Goodfellow, goalkeeper (East Fife); Scott Mercer, defender (East Fife); Declan O'Kane, defender (East Fife); Finn Graham, midfielder (Berwick Rangers); Stuart Urquhart, defender; Jim Paterson, defender; Paul George, midfielder; Jamie Wilson, goalkeeper; Alex Whittle, defender; Gavin McMillan, midfielder.
Last season: 7th
Prediction: 1st. After such a disappointing season after starting as promotion favourites last time, Dunfermline should can't afford to make mistakes this seasopn if their full-time status is to be protected - and Allan Johnston has gathered a squad that should give them renewed hope of promotion.
Key signing: Thomas O'Brien suffered relegation with Cowdenbeath last season and the 23-year-old defender will be in opposition to the Blue Brazil this term.
Intriguing arrival: Those Campbell guys can't stay apart and full-back Iain teams up again with dad and Forfar boss Dick after being on loan at Station Park last season from Cowdenbeath.
One that got away: Former Dundee United youth Dale Hilson spent four loan spells at Station Park before a permanent move last summer. His 12 goals last season helped Forfar to the play-offs, but the club having lost out in the final, the 22-year-old made the step up anyway by switching to Queen of the South.
In: Omar Kader, forward (Forfar Athletic); Iain Campbell, defender (Cowdenbeath); Thomas O'Brien, defender (Cowdenbeath); Bryan Hodge, midfielder (Stenhousemuir); Kevin Nicoll, midfielder (Arbroath). Loan: Lewis Allan, forward (Hibernian), Andrew Black, defender (Dundee)
Out: Dale Hilson, forward, (Queen of the South); Darren Dods, defender (Brechin City); James Dale, midfielder (Brechin City); Stuart Malcolm, defender (Stenhousemuir); Andrew Steeves, midfielder (Montrose); Stephen Husband, midfielder (Kelty Hearts); Paul McLellan, midfielder (Broughty Ferry). Loan: Gavin Malin, midfielder (Montrose).
Last season: 3rd
Prediction: 4th. Dick Campbell came so close to first leading his side to the title and then winning the play-off against Alloa Athletic. The 61-year-old will need all his experience to keep his part-timers up there challenging again.
Key signing: Shane Sutherland broke into the Inverness Caledonian Thistle first-team squad at a young age but has spent the last two seasons with Elgin City in League Two. He will be looking to match the 14 goals last season that helped him win a step back up a division.
Intriguing arrival: Former Peterhead ball-boy Marc Lawrence is only 16 but goes straight into the first-team squad having made three appearances last season as a trialist while the midfielder was also playing for Lewis United Under-17s.
One that got away: Former Kilmarnock, Oldham Athletic, Aberdeen, Patrick Thistle and Morecambe midfielder Gary McDonald scored seven goals in 15 appearances for Peterhead after his release by St Johnstone in February. However, the 33-year-old departed the Blue Toon at the end of the season.
In: Kevin Dzierzawski, midfielder (Queen of the South); Nathan Blockley, midfielder (Airdrieonians); Shane Sutherland, forward (Elgin City); Leighton McIntosh, forward (Montrose); Marc Lawrence (Lewis United Juveniles). Loan: Ally Gilchrist, defender (St Johnstone); Cammy Kerr, defender (Dundee).
Out: David Cox, midfielder (Airdrieonians); Reece Donaldson, defender (East Stirlingshire); Ross Smith, defender (Stirling Albion); Dean Cowie, midfielder (Fraserburgh); Gary McDonald, midfielder; Ryan McCann, midfielder; Fraser McLaren, midfielder; Dean Richardson, defender. Loan: Ryan Baptie, defender (Linlithgow Rose).
Last season: 6th
Prediction: 7th. Jim McInally's team should again be a fairly safe mid-table bet.
Key signing: After spending most of his career in Scotland's second tier and having been a regular starter with Dumbarton last season, 30-year-old winger Mark Gilhaney should be a quality performer a division below.
Intriguing arrival: Former Motherwell and Clyde defender Euan Murray, 21, returns home after becoming the first Scot to play in the Solomon Islands, signing for Western Union for their Oceania Champions League campaign. Meanwhile, 24-year-old Spanish midfielder Carlos Mazana Martinez, who played regional football in his homeland with CD Tedeon, has won a contract after coming to Scotland to study at Glasgow University.
One that got away: Paul McMullan looked a class above the rest as he helped Stenny avoid relegation via the play-offs while on loan from Celtic, but the diminutive 19-year-old winger has this season been farmed out to St Mirren in the Championship.
In: Mark Gilhaney, midfielder (Dumbarton); Stuart Malcolm, defender (Forfar Athletic); Jon Robertson, midfielder (Cowdenbeath); Stephen Stirling, midfielder (Stranraer); Allan Smith, forward (Dunfermline Athletic); Jon McShane, forward (East Fife); Alan Cook, midfielder (East Fife); Jamie Barclay, goalkeeper (Clyde); Euan Murray, midfielder (Western United); Carlos Mazana Martinez, midfielder (Glasgow University). Loan: Liam Henderson, defender (Hearts).
Out: Greg Fleming, goalkeeper (Ayr United); Bryan Hodge, midfielder (Forfar Athletic); Alan Lithgow, defender (Airdrieonians); Craig Sutherland, forward (East Fife); Chris Smith, goalkeeper (Stirling Albion); Ross McMillan, defender (Stirling Albion); Martin Grehan, forward (Arbroath); Kristopher Faulds, midfielder (East Stirlingshire); Pedro Moutinho, forward (Bo'ness United); Stewart Greacen, defender (retired); Paul Sludden, forward; Kai Wilson, defender; Robbie Duncan, defender; Gregor Fotheringham, midfielder; Lee Gallacher, midfielder; Joshua Watt, midfielder; Ryan Millar, forward. Loan ended: Paul McMullan, forward (Celtic).
Last season: 9th
Prediction: 9th. Brown Ferguson has strengthened his squad over the summer, but so have Stenny's rivals and they will do well to avoid another relegation battle.
Key signing: Paul Cairney was a regular starter with Patrick Thistle - then in the top flight with Hibernian. But, having failed to make an impression with Kilmarnock, the 27-year-old midfielder moves down two divisions.
Intriguing arrival: After a couple of loan spells with Albion Rovers from Patrick Thistle, Mark McGuigan scored 11 goals in helping the Coatbridge outfit win League Two last season after making the switch permanent.
One that got away: Goalkeeper David Mitchell has made the step up to the Premiership with Dundee at the age of 25 after six seasons with Stranraer.
In: Brian Reid, manager; Lee Mair, defender/assistant manager (Dumbarton); Paul Cairney, midfielder (Kilmarnock); Dale Keenan, defender (Partick Thistle); Max Currie, goalkeeper (Motherwell); Andy Stirling, midfielder (Dunfermline Athletic); Ryan Thomson, midfielder (Dunfermline Athletic); Mark McGuigan, forward (Albion Rovers); David Barron, defender (Greenock Juniors). Loan: Conor Brennan, goalkeeper (Kilmarnock); David McGurn, goalkeeper (Raith Rovers).
Out: Stephen Aitken, manager (Dumbarton); David Mitchell, goalkeeper (Dundee); Willie Gibson, midfielder (Dumbarton); Jackson Longridge, defender (Livingston); Grant Gallagher, defender (Dumbarton); Frank McKeown, defender (Greenock Morton); Stephen Stirling, midfielder (Stenhousemuir); Sean Winter, midfielder (East Kilbride Thistle); Barry Russell, defender (East Kilbride Thistle); Daniel Tobin, goalkeeper (Irvine Meadow); Adam Forde, forward (Kilbirnie Ladeside). Loan ended: Jon McShane, forward (East Fife).
Last season: 2nd
Prediction: 2nd. New manager Brian Reid if anything appears to have strengthened a squad that came close to winning the title last season under Stephen Aitken. | Scotland's third tier will start the new season with four new managers in place after a season when Greenock Morton emerged victorious after a close, three-horse race for the title. |
Write a summary for the following excerpt. | Slamming the door of the kebab shop shut, two teenagers stuff a handful of chips into their mouths and walk down West Street.
It is a scene that is repeated up and down high streets in England.
But the title of fattest town fell to Boston in 2007 after a series of NHS community health profiles showed 31% of adults in Boston - a mid-sized market town famed for its sausages - were obese.
However, local health workers in the town say the tide has turned.
Health trainer Siobhan Bernadin, 52, who weighed as much as 23 stone (146kg), struggled with obesity for years.
Her weight problems peaked after she broke her spine in a horse-riding accident and lost her husband to kidney disease.
"It was especially hard when I was immobilised and in a wheelchair - the weight just piled on. My husband died and I started comfort eating."
She said her GP "sort of gave up on me" and suggested a gastric band, but she changed her mind after seeing some leaflets about health trainers in Boston.
Mrs Bernadin, who now works part-time for Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Services, lost nearly seven stone (38kg) over five years.
"It was the small and realistic changes to my lifestyle that made the difference," she said, such as keeping a food diary, adding a piece of fruit to every meal and sticking to a strict exercise regime.
Health experts say they do not have adult obesity figures more recent than 2006 because the cost of collecting them has become too expensive.
But annual child obesity statistics are available - and they show an encouraging trend.
Public Health England has found the proportion of obese children in Year 6 (12-year-olds) in Boston has fallen over the past year from 22% to 17.5%, something that is not reflected nationally.
Although the figures for that age group tend to fluctuate, they indicate an overall decline in child obesity in the town and surrounding area over the past six years.
East Midlands GP Ian Campbell, who specialises in obesity, said he was pleasantly surprised but also convinced the battle is not yet won.
"We are slowly tackling the rate of increase in obesity but the total numbers are still going up - 25% of adults remain obese nationally.
"We all sit on our backsides and watch telly and play on Xboxes and we drink far too much alcohol, and snack on sweet foods whenever we want when once they were rare treats.

She said some people, for instance, will not go to aqua aerobics because they are afraid of what they will look like in a swimming costume.
"They have to set their own goals - we simply help them to achieve them. It is ultimately your lifestyle that makes the difference."
Although Lincolnshire still has a slightly higher rate of obesity than the rest of the country, local authorities like Boston Borough Council say they have pushed hard to change attitudes.
Ideas like the introduction of child-sized plates at schools have made a dent, health consultant Chris Weston said.
"Children don't need a huge scoop of chips - and the plates drive the point home," Mr Weston said.
"The whole of the east coast in Lincolnshire including Boston is one the most deprived areas of the country - incomes and aspirations are low.

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | The group is alleged to have convinced Chinese families to deposit money in bank accounts by pretending to be police officers.
Authorities said 13 call centres were discovered and dismantled in Madrid, Barcelona and Alicante.
More than 600 officers took part.
"We are talking about thousands of Chinese citizens, mainly poor families who were robbed of their modest savings," Spanish police crime commissioner Eloy Quiros told a news conference.
The gang is alleged to have used bases in Spain to contact people in China by telephone. Pretending to be friends or family, they would warn their victims of various scams.
The calls would later be followed up by members of the same gang impersonating police officers and claiming to be investigating the scams.
Victims would then be encouraged to help the authorities with their inquiries by depositing money in a number of bank accounts.
Spanish police said in a statement that up to 50 individuals worked "in great secrecy" at the call centres.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Born on 24 August 1758, as Lieutenant General he was the highest ranking British officer to fall at the Battle of Waterloo in Belgium, exactly 200 years ago.
Described by the Duke of Wellington as "a rough foul-mouthed devil, but very capable", he died defending the British left flank in a typically courageous bayonet charge.
Yet at the time, and for two centuries afterwards, his reputation has been tarnished by his authorisation of torture during his spell as Governor of Trinidad in the late 1790s and early 1800s.
Swansea University expert Dr Leighton James explains: "Trinidad had recently been seized from the Spanish, and Picton felt vulnerable, both from the threat of re-conquest and the fact that the number of slaves there greatly outnumbered his small force.
"He maintained control through brutality, adopting the philosophy of 'let them hate so long as they fear'.
"But when he authorised the use of torture to extract a confession of theft from a free 'mulatto' girl, it provoked outrage, even in those much more brutal times."
In 1801, 14-year-old Luisa Calderon stood accused of being involved in the theft of around £500.
The investigating magistrate sought, and was granted, permission from Picton to obtain a confession through the use of picketing.
Widely used as a punishment in the British army, picketing involved the victim being suspended off the ground by the wrist, with their only means of supporting their weight being to stand on an upturned peg.
The peg was not sharp enough to break the skin and inflict permanent injury, but caused the victim excruciating pain.
Already unpopular for his ruthless treatment, the incident was investigated by a commission headed by William Fullarton, and, in 1803, Picton was ordered home to stand trial in London.
Dr James says that in the two years the case took to come to court, interest in it had mushroomed, helped in part by the fact that the prosecution was led by notable reforming lawyer William Garrow.
"Pamphlets and newspapers were doing the rounds, there were even etchings for sale, depicting what this girl had had to undergo on Picton's orders," he said.
"Garrow's involvement, combined with the fact that this exotic-appearing girl, Luisa Calderon, was brought over to give evidence in person meant that the trial attracted unprecedented interest.
"At the heart of it were a clash of different times and values. Britain was becoming more enlightened and liberal, while the reality of life in the colonies remained dangerous and violent."
Although convicted, Picton later had the verdict overturned, arguing that Trinidad had still been subject to Spanish law, which permitted the use of torture.
In the meantime, he had risen to prominence as a commander in Wellington's army fighting the Peninsular Wars against Napoleon's France.
On 16 June 1815, Picton was badly injured at The Battle of Quatre Bras - but hid his wounds from his men.
Two days later - at the Battle of Waterloo - he was shot through the temple by a musket ball, repulsing a French advance which had threatened to break the British line.
After his death a public memorial to Picton was erected at St Paul's Cathedral.
A second - funded by public subscription - was built in Carmarthen, with George IV himself contributing a hundred guineas.
Controversy over these has existed ever since, though Dr James believes that - deserved or not - they do serve a purpose.
"There's a tendency in popular memory for us to pigeonhole people as having been either heroes or villains; in Picton's case there's plenty of evidence for both cases.
"I'm not sure it helps to talk in terms of whether Picton should be celebrated in place names etc, but I do think they act as a talking point.
"When you sit down for a pint in a pub called the Thomas Picton, you ask 'why' is it named after him, and as a consequence you learn about Luisa Calderon, and the events behind the name.
"If you forget the names, you forget history, and I think that would be a terrible shame." | The name of Haverfordwest's Sir Thomas Picton is celebrated in schools, pubs, on the streets and even in towns around the world, but does it deserve to be? |
Summarize this article briefly. | Apis mellifera mellifera, a native subspecies of dark European honeybee, were thought to have been wiped out in the British Isles.
Rumours it survived in the Highlands were found to be true in 1992.
Scientists are now studying the bees to better understand viruses transmitted by Varroa destructor mites.
The chocolate-coloured native dark bees are Varroa-free.
Experts involved in a European initiative called SmartBees, including scientists from the University of Aberdeen, hope they can provide previously unattainable insights into the immune system of honeybees.
The native dark bees in the study are from colonies reared in a project near Beinn Eighe, a mountain in Wester Ross.
These bees originate from eggs that were harvested in 2010 from a location 200 miles (321km) from Beinn Eighe. The original site of the dark bees is kept a secret to protect them from harm.
The harvested eggs were put in small boxes which apiarists then taped to their skin under jumpers to keep them warm.
Beekeepers later placed the eggs in "foster hives" and then raised them as queens.
Margie Ramsay has been breeding dark bees with help from Scottish Natural Heritage, which runs Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve.
She said: "These queen mothers founded the bee dynasties that bred true on the isolated mountain of Beinn Eighe.
"Now after only a few years they've grown to produce a thriving, healthy, native dark bee population in and around the gardens, hills and crofts of Kinlochewe."
Apis mellifera mellifera were thought to have been lost after foreign honeybees were introduced to the British Isles to boost commercial honey production in the 19th Century.
A bee plague called Isle of Wight Disease was thought to have decimated surviving populations during World War One.
Varroa are parasitic mites blamed for spreading deformed wing virus. Scientists believe the virus has wipe out billions of honeybees throughout the world.

Summarize this article briefly. | More than 20 years after the death of the Grateful Dead founder, the auction of the custom-made guitar fetched a total of $3.2m (£2.5m).
It was bought at a New York charity concert by Brian Halligan, CEO of marketing group HubSpot and a lifelong fan of the band - or a "Deadhead".
The money raised will go to the Southern Poverty Law Centre.
Halligan bought Wolf for $1.9m, including the buyer's premium, and had his $1.6m pre-premium bid matched by an anonymous charity.
Garcia was the best-known member of the Grateful Dead and was known for his guitar sound.
Devoted Deadheads identify five classic guitars which Garcia played at different times: Alligator, Rosebud, Lightning Bolt, Tiger and Wolf. The last two were auctioned together in 2002 and made more than $1.5m (£1.2m).
Wolf was put up for auction again on Wednesday night to raise funds for the advocacy group.
It got its name after Garcia stuck a cartoon wolf sticker on it as a joke. When the instrument went back to guitar maker Doug Irwin for repairs, he decided to incorporate the motif in a more permanent way.
Halligan is one of the Deadheads who followed the band for years, travelling from concert to concert.

Can you summarize this content? | The Blaenavon concert was two days before the first anniversary of the Swansea Valley Gleision disaster which killed four miners.
Mining in Wales has cost thousands of lives over the decades.
It was their contribution that was celebrated in poetry and song at Big Pit on Thursday.
A piano was lowered into the mine to accompany the performers as they sang underground.
One of them was Dan Curtis, whose great-grandfather was killed in the Senghenydd mining disaster, near Caerphilly, on 4 October 1913, when 439 miners died.
Mr Curtis was joined by writer, actor and musician Boyd Clack.
Former miners formed part of the underground audience, who included First Minister Carwyn Jones.
Of the memorial concert, Mr Jones said: "It was an opportunity, not just to remember those who've been killed underground and those who've suffered hardship through the mining industry, but also to remember the culture that mining communities inspired, the way of life and the mark that mining communities continue to make on Welsh life."
David Powell, 50, Charles Breslin, 62, Philip Hill, 44, and Garry Jenkins, 39, were the latest Welsh miners to lose their lives underground when they died at Gleision Colliery almost exactly a year ago.
Their bodies were recovered from the mine 24 hours later after initial hope that rescue teams might be able to find them alive.
Post-mortem examinations confirmed all four men died as a result of flooding in the pit.
More than £1m has been raised through a public appeal, which will be shared between the families of the four men. | A memorial concert has been held at Big Pit mining museum in south Wales to remember the victims of colliery accidents. |
Summarize the following content briefly. | Mr Hammond said the government would not "lie down" and would "do whatever we have to do" to remain competitive.
He had been asked by a German newspaper if the UK could become a "tax haven" by further lowering corporation tax.
Labour's Jeremy Corbyn said his comments sounded like "a recipe for some kind of trade war with Europe".
Having so far refused to offer a "running commentary" on her plans, Prime Minister Theresa May is expected to spell out the most detail so far of her Brexit strategy in a speech on Tuesday.
Reports have suggested she will signal pulling out of the EU single market and customs union, although Downing Street described this as "speculation".
In an interview with the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag newspaper, Mr Hammond said he was "optimistic" a reciprocal deal on market access could be struck, and that he hoped the UK would "remain in the mainstream of European economic and social thinking".
"But if we are forced to be something different, then we will have to become something different," he said.
"If we have no access to the European market, if we are closed off, if Britain were to leave the European Union without an agreement on market access, then we could suffer from economic damage at least in the short-term.
"In this case, we could be forced to change our economic model and we will have to change our model to regain competitiveness. And you can be sure we will do whatever we have to do.
"The British people are not going to lie down and say, too bad, we've been wounded. We will change our model, and we will come back, and we will be competitively engaged."
Asked about Mr Hammond's comments during an interview on The Andrew Marr Show Mr Corbyn said "He appears to be making a sort of threat to EU community saying 'well, if you don't give us exactly what we want, we are going to become this sort of strange entity on shore of Europe where there'll be very low levels of corporate taxation, and designed to undermine the effectiveness or otherwise of industry across Europe.'
"It seems to me a recipe for some kind of trade war with Europe in the future. That really isn't a very sensible way forward."
Mr Corbyn also said Mrs May "appears to be heading us in the direction of a sort of bargain basement economy", adding: "It seems to me an extremely risky strategy."
by BBC business correspondent Joe Lynam
According to Philip Hammond, Britain might be "forced" to change its economic model. To what?
For some, the true advantage of leaving the EU would be to tear up the 'rules' and make Britain more like Singapore.
Singapore abides by World Trade Organisation and ASEAN (the Association of Southeast Asian Nations) trade rules, but it's famed for its light touch regulation - especially when it comes to financial services - which some Brexiteers feel is the opposite of EU "meddling".
But turning a large G7 economy with a robust social model into a city state might be difficult. It might involve the government handpicking which industries it thinks will be successes and rapidly neglecting existing sectors.
Millions of people would need to get brand new qualifications while those with undesirable skills would become surplus to requirements. Massive infrastructure projects might be rushed through with minimal consultation.
For a country with Britain's past and present, is that a possible future?
Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said it appeared Brexit would mean a "low-tax, deregulated race to the bottom", with workers' rights and environmental protections threatened.
She wrote on Twitter: "If that is the case, it raises a more fundamental question - not just are we in/out EU, but what kind of country do we want to be?"
In her speech on Tuesday, the prime minister is expected to call on the country to "put an end to the division" created by the EU referendum result.
She will urge the UK to leave behind words such as "Leaver and Remainer and all the accompanying insults and unite to make a success of Brexit and build a truly global Britain".
Several of Sunday's newspapers claim Mrs May will outline a "hard Brexit" approach, a term used to imply prioritising migration controls over single market access.
Northern Ireland Secretary James Brokenshire said he did not think it was a "binary choice" between trade and migration, but added that the "very stark message" from the EU referendum was that "free movement as it exists today cannot continue in to the future".
Speaking on the BBC's Sunday Politics, Liberal Democrat leader Tim Farron said a "hard Brexit" had not been on the ballot paper in June's referendum and accused the PM of adopting "the Nigel Farage vision" of Brexit.
Mr Farage, the former UKIP leader, told Sky News he had "yet to be convinced" by the PM's approach. | The UK may be forced to change its "economic model" if it is locked out of the single market after Brexit, Chancellor Philip Hammond has said. |
Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Sarah Cooke was principal of Foxhole Academy in Cornwall, where Peter Cooke worked as a handyman.
He was arrested after being caught by neighbours watching porn and masturbating in his garden.
Mrs Cooke resigned at the time of his arrest and said a "misapprehension" was to blame for any oversight.
As well as failing to tell her bosses about the police investigation, it is also alleged she failed to carry out proper background checks on both her and her husband.
The National College for Teaching and Leadership (NCTL) professional misconduct panel heard that she did not inform her superiors of possible safeguarding issues.
If proper checks were carried out, they would have flagged a caution Mr Cooke received in 2012 for stealing a bag of women's clothes from a leisure centre and later trying them on.
It was alleged there were "very serious failings" over "a significant period of time" by the head.
Concerns came to light when the school was taken over by The Learning Academy Trust (TLAT) and record-keeping scrutinised.
Mrs Cooke is facing six allegations of wrongdoing including allowing her husband to continue working at the school.
The panel was told that Mr Cooke was seen by neighbours, a teenage boy and the boy's mother, watching pornography on a tablet and masturbating in the garden.
He was given a three-month suspended sentence for outraging public decency.
Mrs Cooke told an earlier internal investigation she was "too ashamed" to tell anyone.
Opening the case, Tom Day said: "It's not clear if she knew the precise details, but one may think that in itself would raise safeguarding concerns."

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent (PCC) Jeff Cuthbert said a search for his successor would begin as soon as possible.
Mr Farrar said the new chief constable would be inheriting a "more effective and efficient force".
During his tenure, Mr Farrar has had to make £42m in efficiency savings because of budget cuts.
He has also overseen the improvement of the force, which has gone from being rated as "requiring improvement" by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to ranking as "good".
Mr Farrar, who started his career at South Wales Police, has planned and commanded some of the most high profile events in the UK in recent years, including the 2014 Nato Summit in Newport, golf's 2010 Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor and two FA Cup and League Cup football finals.
He was appointed as Gwent Police's chief constable in November 2013 after carrying out the role in a temporary capacity and in 2014, he was awarded the Queens Police Medal in the Birthday Honours list.
Mr Farrar said he had been proud to serve in the police for the last 35 years.
"The last four years have presented countless challenges but I am confident that my successor will inherit a more effective and efficient force," he added.
Mr Cuthbert said Mr Farrar would be a "hard act" for the next chief constable to follow.
"He has done a fantastic job and has shown that he is a strong leader who has the support of officers, staff as well as our partners in the community," he said.
"I am confident that he will continue to play a leading role in public life, but in a different capacity."
Mr Farrar last week helped mark the 50th anniversary of Gwent Police and said he believed the force would rely more on technology to help policing in the future amid budget and job cuts.

Justin Ross Harris, 35, had denied intentionally leaving his son, Cooper, to die in the car park near his Atlanta office in 2014.
Harris argued the death was an accident, saying he had forgotten to drop the toddler off at day care.
The trial heard he was sending lewd text messages to underage girls during the time that Cooper was dying.
The children left behind in hot cars
He was found guilty on eight counts, including malice murder as well as charges of child cruelty and sex crimes related to the text messages he sent to a teenage girl.
Prosecutors argued Harris plotted to kill his 22-month-old son and wanted to leave his family to continue affairs with other women.
But Harris' attorneys said that though he was responsible for the boy's death, he loved his son and the incident was result of a tragic forgetfulness.
Cobb County Police Detective Phil Stoddard had testified in court that Harris was sitting in his office, exchanging nude photos with several women, including a teenage minor, on the day his son died.
Mr Stoddard also told the grand jury panel Harris had researched online how long and what temperature it would take to die in a hot car.
He also said Harris looked at websites advocating a child-free lifestyle.
The child died of hyperthermia as his body overheated amid outside temperatures of almost 90F (32C).
Harris told authorities he had taken his son to breakfast and given him a kiss while putting him into the back of the car afterwards. But then he drove to work and forgot he was still in the car.
Harris also said it was a break from his usual routine. He typically ate after taking his son to nursery.
Car park surveillance footage showed Harris returned to his car after lunch to drop off some light bulbs he had bought.
He did not get inside the vehicle.
Friends and family testified on Harris' behalf, including his ex-wife, Leanna Taylor, who divorced him after the arrest.
She said while he "destroyed" her life, he was a loving father who would not intentionally harm their son.

The Exiles face a Grimsby side on Tuesday who lost their last game 5-0 against Crewe Alexandra, but Westley does not underestimate their midweek opponents.
"I went up and watched the game on Saturday and in fairness, it was very much a game of two halves. They just got it wrong and in the second half they tidied themselves up and they looked a decent outfit so I'm sure one heavy defeat isn't going to kill them," Westley said.
"We expect them to come full of intention and full of renewed motivation and we know that we're going to have to be as good and better than we were on Friday if we are to secure the three points."
Edna Atherton was 88 when she fell from the platform, suffering broken ribs and a cut head at Birkenhead's Hamilton Square station in July 2015.
The prosecution had claimed Martin Zee, 33, had not followed Merseyrail's door closure safety procedure fully.
But the defence argued the fall was an accident, Liverpool Crown Court heard.
They said there was a "fundamental failing" in the 17-point safety procedure itself, because the curve of the platform meant there were several blind spots.
The trial was shown CCTV footage of Mr Zee leaving the back of the train and walking to the wall of the platform to check all passengers had got off and on the carriages.
After Mr Zee pushed the button to close the doors, two women can be seen trying to board the front of the train. As the doors were reopened and closed, one of them fell between the train and the platform.
Mr Zee, of Coronation Road, Runcorn, Cheshire, had pleaded not guilty to a charge of endangering the safety of railway passengers by wilful omission or neglect.
The jury cleared him after two hours of deliberations.
A Merseyrail spokesman said its internal investigation and another by safety regulator the Office of Rail and Road "found there was no case to answer".
"The door closure warning alarm is in place to alert passengers to the danger of closing doors and we rely on passengers heeding that warning and not attempting to board or alight while the doors are closing."
A spokesman for British Transport Police said: "It is our duty as a police force to investigate and present the evidence to the Crown Prosecution Service."
A Crown Prosecution Service spokesman said: "The decision to charge was made following detailed consideration of the evidence and in accordance with the Code for Crown Prosecutors."
An initial accord ending more than 50 years of conflict was struck in late September, but rejected by Colombians in a vote.

Please summarize the document below. | Anders Kompass told officials that the UN was failing to properly investigate allegations that French troops abused children as young as eight.
A UN investigation in May 2015 cleared him of sharing confidential documents.
But Mr Kompass says senior officials have still not been held to account.
His resignation takes effect in August.
Mr Kompass is the director of field operations at the UN human rights office in Geneva.
French authorities say they are investigating the abuse allegations and will punish anyone found responsible.
In an interview with the humanitarian news agency IRIN, Mr Kompass said he was departing because of "the complete impunity for those who have been found to have, in various degrees, abused their authority, together with the unwillingness of the hierarchy to express any regrets for the way they acted towards me".
"This makes it impossible for me to keep working there," he said.
In July 2014, Mr Kompass leaked a confidential UN report on the alleged sexual abuse of children by peacekeepers in the Central African Republic to prosecutors in France - the former colonial power - claiming the UN was taking too long to act.
French authorities are now investigating 14 soldiers in connection with the report's findings.
A study by independent experts in December revealed "gross institutional failure" by the UN in the way it responded to abuse allegations.
It said that children as young as nine were encouraged to have sex in exchange for food or money in conflict-ridden CAR.
A UN tribunal last year ruled that Mr Kompass's suspension was unlawful and he should be allowed to return to work.
The Swede has worked for the UN for more than 30 years.
Hillel Neuer, executive director of the monitoring group UN Watch, told AFP news agency that many now see Mr Kompass as "a hero for trying to protect abused children, in contrast to other UN officials".
France intervened in its former colony in December 2013, nine months after a rebel alliance, Seleka, had captured the capital and ousted President Francois Bozize.
The country descended into ethnic and sectarian violence, with thousands of people fleeing their homes and the UN warning that there was a high risk of genocide.
Koen Norton, 10, is hoping to secure the International Gamefish Association record for largest tuna caught by a child 10 years old or younger.
He was on his family's charter boat when he caught the massive fish on Sunday, using a fishing technique called "stand up" involving a harness.
Norton has been fishing since he was about five.
"He's talked about this record for quite a while," his father Greg Norton, who runs a fishing charter boat business, told the BBC. "We waited until he was 10 because it gave him the advantage of being as big as he could be. We go fishing every chance we get."
Koen Norton said it took him an hour to reel in the massive tuna.
"It was fun," Koen told the BBC. "It was just amazing how it felt when I was fighting it. When I hooked him, I could tell he was going to be a little bit of a fight."
Derry's Nursery in Cossington, Leicestershire, lost £4,500 of plants in the early hours of Sunday.
Despite CCTV and police being alerted, a gang spent about 90 minutes loading a vehicle with plants.
Leicestershire Police said the call they received did not mention a burglary.
Nursery owner Alan Dayman said it was the biggest raid in his 42 years as boss and items were even taken from his father's grave which is in the grounds.
Mr Dayman said a gate had been knocked down and high-value ornamental trees and plants taken.
"A lady in the village rang the police at the time but they said they had no one to send out, which is obviously very annoying," he added.
"When I spoke to police on Sunday morning they said they would try to get out in the next three to four days.
"So many people from the village have helped me keep going but it's gut-wrenching really that they can come and take what they want.
"People around have been brilliant but I don't seem to be getting any help from the authorities."
A spokesperson for Leicestershire Police said they were "aware this premises has been burgled a number of times and previous calls to this location where we have had information to suggest and offence is in progress resulted in an immediate attendance".
"We are sorry if the victims feel the service they have received from the force fall short of what they may expect and we are addressing any concerns they have raised with us," they added. | A UN whistleblower who alleged child sex abuse by French peacekeepers in the Central African Republic has resigned, citing the "complete impunity" of those responsible for the crimes.

Can you summarize the given article? | Goals either side of the interval by Sean Morrison and Nathaniel Mendez-Laing gave the Bluebirds a 2-0 win over Sheffield United.
Winger Mendez-Laing took his season's tally to four with a superb strike.
The Blades went close through Billy Sharp and had a penalty shout turned down, but were comfortably beaten.
Cardiff came into the game on a high after an impressive 3-0 win over Aston Villa, with manager Neil Warnock relishing the challenge of the team he supported as a child - and managed for eight years.
Sheffield United suffered their first defeat in 20 games when beaten 1-0 by Middlesbrough at the weekend, and found the Bluebirds in irresistible mood on a calm Cardiff night.
The Bluebirds joined the Football League in 1910 and are top of the early-season table after ending a 107-year wait for maximum return from their opening three games.
They have nine points along with Ipswich and Wolves, who Cardiff play at Molineux on Saturday.
The Blades matched Cardiff in the early stages, but were let off when Jazz Richards hit a post and then Kenneth Zohore slid the ball past the post after being put through by Junior Hoilett.
The breakthrough came in the 44th minute when skipper Morrison headed in Joe Ralls' corner.
Mendez-Laing's stunning finish to a sweeping team move in the 55th minute put Warnock's team firmly in charge, and the Blades did well not to concede a third.
Ched Evans made an appearance off the bench for the Blades, but it was Sharp and David Brooks who had their best efforts, and Leon Clarke headed a good chance wide.
But it was United supporter Warnock who had the biggest smile as his Cardiff side kept their third successive Championship clean sheet.
Cardiff manager Neil Warnock told BBC Radio Wales:
"To start with three league wins on the bounce is great - I think it's lovely as a record like that because it takes the pressure off.
"I remember not winning for seven games and it was horrible.
"It's great for the fans, but we've got to go up to Wolves now and see if we can perform up there."
Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder:
"We're going to endure some tough nights, we totally understand that coming into the division after six years out of it, but we haven't been overrun against players who can hurt you.
"We've had two really tough games against Middlesbrough and Cardiff, but we haven't embarrassed ourselves.
"We competed well enough against the league leaders, we never folded and kept going to the end, but we do need to get better."

Summarize the information given below. | The wedding and conference venue in Desborough has used the name since the 1930s, but it has now been given until the new year to alter it.
The Ritz hotel has asked for a name-change agreement to be signed.
Desborough Ritz owner Kris Malde said he thought their email was "a joke". The Ritz in London declined to comment.
The Desborough Ritz has recently had a £1m refurbishment and includes rooms like the Berkeley Suite, Kensington Lounge and the Eton Room, with accommodation for 600 guests.
Its 12m x 7m (39.4ft x 23ft) Berkeley Suite has a 100-person capacity, its own private bar and lounge, mood lighting and can cater for civil ceremonies.
By comparison, the Berkeley Suite in the Piccadilly Ritz has 1,200 sq ft (111.5 sq m) of floor space with a marbled lobby, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dining area, study and a pantry, and costs many thousands of pounds per night.
In a letter sent to Mr Malde, the solicitors representing Ritz owners Ellerman Investments Limited, said: "Our clients are concerned to discover that you are using the domain name in connection with a business which appears to be trading as 'The Ritz' and offering banqueting and conference services.
"Our clients cannot allow their trademarks to be used without consent.
"The Ritz Hotel was opened by Cesar Ritz in 1906 and since then its owners have built up a very substantial reputation and goodwill throughout the world."
The solicitors originally asked the Desborough venue to sign an agreement by 16:00 GMT to confirm it would no longer use the name, but its deadline has now been extended until a unspecified date likely to be in the new year.
Mr Malde, whose company also owns gaming machines, properties, men's clothing shops and a social club in Enfield, said: "When I first got the email, I thought it was a joke.
"Our hotel is not going to affect them in any way. We are in Desborough, a rural community in the middle of Northamptonshire."
However, Mr Malde admits pursuing the issue through the courts could prove costly.
"Our hands are tied - we can't afford to lose a battle which we know we have fifty-fifty chance of winning," he said.
Ellerman Investments Limited has declined to comment on the row.
The male victim suffered neck wounds in the attack at Mons Barracks, Aldershot, at about 06:15 GMT on 12 November.
Detectives said Aidan Warner, 20, of Egret Gardens, Aldershot, Hampshire, was due to appear before Basingstoke magistrates on 1 August charged with wounding with intent.
Police previously said the stabbing was not thought to be terrorist-related.

What is the summary of the following article? | Once again, politicians are debating what to do about gun laws in the US following a tragedy.
There were similar moves after the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, which left 26 people dead, most of them children.
But those pushing for change see signs that things might be going their way, while those opposed to reform can point to several factors that suggest the status quo will remain.
Led by Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, whose state went through the Sandy Hook school shootings, the filibuster lasted 14 hours.
Mr Murphy said he wanted to force Republicans and Democrats to agree on legislation to deny terrorism suspects the right to buy guns and require universal background checks.
As a result of the filibuster, the Senate will hold a vote on gun control measures next week, though passing a bill is unlikely.
President Barack Obama has challenged the Republican-controlled Congress to pass new gun laws.
And Democratic presumptive nominee Hillary Clinton has also been campaigning on the issue.
But gun control is a very divisive issue in the US, where the right to bear arms is enshrined in the constitution.
Likely Republican nominee Donald Trump has pledged to protect gun rights and has said he would get rid of "gun-free zones".
He said more guns in the Orlando nightclub might have saved lives.
"Not one of Donald Trump's reckless ideas would have saved a single life in Orlando," Mrs Clinton said.
In the wake of the Sandy Hook shooting, many states tightened up their gun laws, including Connecticut, California and New York.
Six states have expanded background checks. But people wishing to purchase guns can usually travel to another state to do so.
And Kansas, Texas, Arkansas and Wisconsin, are a few states that have made gun rights more expansive than ever since Sandy Hook.
Lawmakers are increasingly being lambasted for only offering "thoughts and prayers" following shootings.
A visibly emotional Tammy Baldwin, a Democratic senator from Wisconsin, displayed a photo board of the victims as she spoke during the filibuster late on Wednesday, saying repeatedly: "Our thoughts and prayers are no longer enough."
Republican House Speaker Paul Ryan called for a moment of silence on the House floor on Monday and Democrats shouted him down, with a handful walking out.
This week Mr Trump said he was speaking to the National Rifle Association (NRA) on how to keep guns out of the hands of terrorists.
Republican Senators John Cornyn (Texas) and Pat Toomey (Pennsylvania) are both working on proposals that would be an alternative to the Democrats' plan for banning suspected terrorists from buying guns.
Mr Cornyn's plan has been endorsed by the NRA while Mr Toomey hopes to strike a deal that would please both Democrats and Republicans.
There used to be an assault weapons ban in the US, but it expired in 2004 and has failed to pass again. After the Sandy Hook shootings, President Obama included an assault weapons ban in his proposals for sweeping gun reform, but it went nowhere.
Vice-President Joe Biden said this week that it took seven years for Congress to approve the assault weapons ban, and there is "no reason" why Democrats should ever stop trying to get it passed again.
Harvard University researchers published a study in 2014 that showed that, according to their calculations, there has been a rise in public mass shootings and that they tripled from 2011 to 2014.
However, homicides with firearms have declined from a decade ago, and the overall murder rate in the country has gone down in recent years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The powerful National Rifle Association still influences many lawmakers.
The group says it has about five million members, though it is hard to confirm that number.
Membership increased sharply following the Sandy Hook massacre, though its financial disclosure forms for 2014 show its revenues dropped by $47 million (£33 million) from 2013 to 2014.
Wayne LaPierre, the president of the organisation, and officials who lobby Congress have been blamed by President Obama for preventing gun-control legislation and having an "extremely strong grip on Congress".
NRA supporters say their group is being unfairly blamed for shootings it did not commit and that mental health is the issue, not guns.
Why is US gun lobby NRA so controversial?
Many agree with Donald Trump when he says more "good guys with guns" would save lives.
One survivor of the Pulse nightclub shootings told the BBC that she wishes she had had a firearm to defend herself.
Kassandra Marquez, 23, survived the attack, but her cousin died.
"They need to have a gun control, but from my experience, the way I'm looking at things, until then, get your gun licence, because you're not safe anywhere."
The majority of vendors at gun shows are licensed but often, unlicensed sellers meet at the shows to show off their collections or sell guns, and unlicensed sellers do not put buyers through a federal background check.
Alleged Charleston gunman Dylann Roof was able to buy a gun because the FBI did not complete a background check on him within three business days, due to a clerical error. Arms dealers, under current law, can sell guns to individuals if they have not been notified by the FBI within three days that the sale would be illegal.
Despite lobbying from medical groups, the Centers for Disease Control is still banned from using federal funds to research gun violence in the US, thanks to a provision enacted in 1997.
Just this spring, a group of 141 medical organisations sent a letter to lawmakers urging them to restore funding for gun research. They wrote that the provision "has had a dramatic chilling effect" on researching gun violence.
"A central part of preventing future tragedies is through conducting rigorous scientific research as this has been a proven successful approach in reducing deaths due to other injuries," the letter reads. | The worst mass shooting in recent US history in Orlando on Sunday left 49 dead with dozens of people remaining in a hospital, some in a critical condition. |

Please give a summary of the document below. | St Patrick's High School in Keady received the award at an event in London on Friday night.
The judges said the "innovative work and move away from banding, the amazing results achieved and rate of acceleration" made St Patrick's stand out.
They also praised the school's work in the community.
In 2011, only 51% of GCSE pupils at St Patrick's were achieving five A*-Cs including English and maths.
By 2014 it had become the highest-performing non-selective school in Northern Ireland, with 80% of pupils achieving those results and 93% leaving with five GCSEs.
TES said St Patrick's had abandoned streaming and banding, focused on teaching and learning, motivating and engaging boys, and assessment for Learning.
It said it also built stronger links with its partner primary schools and a learning resource centre now assists students who are struggling.
"But it's not all about the academic side: St Patrick's is prominent in the local community, sending food hampers to those in need at Christmas and organising regular visits to the elderly," it said.
"As the school's entry to the TES Schools Awards pointed out, the emphasis is on education in its 'fullest sense'."
The TES (formerly Times Education Supplement) school awards are in their seventh year.
Winners in 17 categories were announced on Friday.
The appeal was launched on 13 March - the day that Nicola Sturgeon called for another vote on independence - and had been due to run until 21 June.
But it was closed early having apparently raised about half of its £1m target.
The SNP won 35 of the 59 seats in Scotland in last week's general election - 21 fewer than in 2015.
The party's share of the vote also fell from 50% to 37% as the Scottish Conservatives, Labour and Liberal Democrats picked up seats across the country.
Ms Sturgeon has said that her party's plans for a second referendum were "undoubtedly" a factor in the election result.
But she warned against "rushing to overly-simplistic judgments" and said she would instead "reflect carefully" on the way forward.
The fundraising page had been part of the SNP's ref.scot website, which featured a video message from Ms Sturgeon urging voters to back her plan to hold an independence referendum in the autumn of 2018 or the spring of the following year.
The website also encouraged supporters to sign a pledge "to support Scotland's referendum" and to print out signs proclaiming their backing for a referendum and independence.
The donations page had hoped to raise £1m in 100 days - with £200,000 being handed over in the first 24 hours of the site going live - but the Herald reported it had raised about £482,000 before being taken down.
It is not clear when the donations page was closed, although it appears to have been removed by Friday of last week.
A spokesman for the SNP told BBC Scotland: "The page was taken down because our fundraising efforts were focused on the election."
Scottish Labour said it would be writing to the Electoral Commission to call for an investigation into what had happened to the money that was donated.
Tory MSP Maurice Golden said: "The fact the SNP have stopped fundraising through this website shows they are in retreat when it comes to a second independence referendum."
The section, called Lower Block 04, is the largest part of the aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales.
It is 20 metres high, 80 metres long and comprises a fifth of the overall vessel.
It will take about five days to reach Rosyth in Fife, travelling around the north of Scotland.
The section, which contains the warship's hangar, machinery space, mission systems compartments and accommodation, will arrive at the dockyard in Fife next Friday afternoon.
It began its journey from BAE Systems' Govan shipyard on Sunday morning and passed under the Erskine bridge at about noon.
The section, floating on a sea-going barge, arrived at Greenock at about 15:30 and will be pulled by a sea-going tug, the Carlo Martello.
The Prince of Wales is the second of the new Queen Elizabeth class aircraft carrier to be built for the UK.
Each 65,000 tonne aircraft carrier will provide the armed forces with a four-acre military operating base which can be deployed worldwide.
Even the hull section is bigger than the Type 45 destroyers which were the last vessels to be delivered to the Royal Navy from Glasgow.

President: Francisco Guterres (aka Lu Olo)
Francisco Guterres was sworn in as president of East Timor in May 2017, pledging to boost health and education.
Commonly known as "Lu Olo", Mr Guterres leads the centre-left Fretilin party and is a former guerrilla, having fought against Indonesia's occupation of East Timor.
He led the draft of the country's first constitution in 2001 and mounted failed bids for the presidency in 2008 and 2012.
The president has limited executive power. He chooses the prime minister after elections.

Summarize the information in the following document. | The six-week A3290/A329M Loddon Viaduct project will see new bridge joints and safety barriers put up, as well as a resurfaced carriageway.
Lanes on the Reading-bound stretch of the A3290 at Winnersh have been closed.
Commuter Andrea Gaynor said her usual 35-minute journey to work now took up to two hours or more.
"It took me almost two-and-a-half hours one night. I was at Winnersh for one-hour-and-fifty minutes just trying to get off [the carriageway], along with thousands of other drivers", she said.
"Road rage is an issue and people have been swapping lanes and causing chaos. How people didn't hit each other I do not know."
Wokingham Borough Council said recent queues were due to crashes and problems elsewhere, but said it had since taken action to stop people crossing lanes in the wrong place.
Councillor Malcolm Richards, executive member for highways at the authority, said: "This work has to be done and will make the viaduct safer, quieter and easier to maintain."
The project is expected to be completed in September.
The central bank head said as long as inflation was stable and the US economy was strong enough to boost jobs, the conditions would be right for a rise.
Despite expectations of a rise this month, the Fed held rates, in part due to fears about global economic growth.
Ms Yellen, speaking at the University of Massachusetts, said US economic prospects "generally appear solid".
Speaking a week after the Fed delayed that long-anticipated hike, she said she and other policymakers did not expect recent global economic and financial market developments to significantly affect the central bank's policy.
Much recent inflationary weakness is due to special and likely temporary factors, such as a strong dollar and low oil prices, she said.
"Most [policymakers] including myself, currently anticipate... an initial increase in the federal funds rate later this year, followed by a gradual pace of tightening thereafter," Ms Yellen said.
US rates have been held at practically zero since December 2008 as the economy recovers from the financial meltdown.
This month, nine members of the Fed's key policymaking committee voted to hold the federal funds rate target at 0 to 0.25%.
One committee member, Jeffrey Lacker, favoured a 0.25 percentage point rise.
The Fed's long-term policy is to keep interest rates low until employment levels improve further and the main US inflation rate approaches its 2% target.
In her speech on Thursday, Mrs Yellen cautioned that inflation may rise more slowly or rapidly than anticipated. "Should such a development occur, we would need to adjust the stance of policy in response," she said.
The World Bank recently warned developing countries to brace themselves for possible financial turbulence when the Fed eventually hikes rates.
The bank said it is possible that there would be sufficient disruption to capital flows into developing countries to harm economic growth and financial stability.
Meanwhile, towards the end of her speech, Mrs Yellen, 69, paused twice for several seconds, appearing to have lost her place in the text.
Reuters reported that the chairman of the university's economics department, Michael Ash, appeared at her side, asking: "You ok?" and offering to escort her off the stage.
The Fed said in a statement later that she "felt dehydrated at the end of the [hour] long speech under bright lights".

His wife Sally, who is 38, gave birth to twin girls late on Monday evening, Wood's publicist confirmed.
A statement said: "Ronnie & Sally Wood are delighted to announce the birth of their twins Gracie Jane (6lb) & Alice Rose (5.7lb).
"The girls arrived on 30 May at 22:30 and all are doing brilliantly. The babies are perfect."
The twins are Wood's fifth and sixth children, but the first for him and his wife, who is a theatre producer.
Wood has four children already - Jesse Wood with his first wife, former model Krissy Wood, daughter Leah and son Tyrone from his second marriage to Jo, and Jamie - Jo's son from a previous marriage whom Wood adopted.
The musician dated Sally Humphreys, as she was then known, for six months before they got married at London's Dorchester Hotel, with Rod Stewart as Wood's best man, in 2012.
The couple first met while she was working at the Theatre Royal in Drury Lane, where Wood was displaying some of his artwork.

The rocket and capsule system launched normally from its Van Horn, Texas, desert pad on Wednesday but then made an early separation during the ascent.
A motor in the capsule pushed it clear to parachute back to the ground.
The “abort” simulated what would happen if the booster were ever to develop a problem as it climbed into the sky.
Before Mr Bezos’ Blue Origin company starts putting people on the New Shepard system, there has to be confidence that lives can be saved in the event of an emergency.
New Shepard is a sub-orbital vehicle - that is, it delivers sufficient thrust to put its capsule only briefly into space.
What is remarkable about New Shepard is that it is totally re-usable - both the booster and the capsule.
Ordinarily, boosters are expendable. It is only recently that rocket vehicles have started to fly themselves back to Earth after a flight for a new mission.
The booster used in Wednesday’s outing was making its fifth flight. Before the test, Blue Origin said it was unlikely to survive the demonstration due to the instability that is introduced by a mid-flight escape of the capsule.
But the booster had no difficulty handling the disruption of the abort manoeuvre and brought itself down under control. It will now be put on show in a museum.
Mr Bezos plans to take fare-paying passengers who want to ride New Shepard on short hops above the atmosphere.
Scientists will also be given the opportunity to fly experiments in the capsule. These are studies that need to be run in a weightless environment, which the capsule will experience at the top of its arc.
The online retail entrepreneur also plans to build a much bigger rocket system that he will launch from Cape Canaveral, Florida.
The booster for this, called New Glenn after the famous American astronaut John Glenn, should make its maiden flight before the end of the decade, Mr Bezos says.

Give a short summary of the provided document. | Work on the Newbuildings to Strabane section of the new dual carriageway was due to go ahead in 2017.
But the Alternative A5 Alliance (AA5A) has lodged an application for leave to apply for judicial review.
The Department for Infrastructure said it will oppose the latest legal challenge to the project.
In 2012, AA5A won their judicial review into the planned new route after the court ruled an environment impact assessment had not been carried out properly.
John Dunbar from AA5A said that previous experience had given the group confidence to pursue a second challenge.
He said the group continued to oppose the project on "economic and environmental grounds".
Mr Dunbar said no one could now "put a figure on how much this (the A5) will cost".
"It just does not make sense," he said.
"The dual carriageway is just not necessary."
A Public Inquiry into the A5 is scheduled to get underway in early October.
Mr Dunbar said the scope of that inquiry was "much too restrictive".
"There are a number of other issues that we wanted to object to but they haven't been included in the scope of the inquiry."
He said there was no alternative but to launch a legal challenge.
A Department for Infrastructure spokeswoman confirmed the legal application would be opposed.
"In progressing any major road improvement scheme of the scale of the A5 dualling, there is always the possibility of a legal challenge from those who may be dissatisfied with the department's proposals," she said.
The preferred route for the A5 was announced in 2009. When complete it is understood it would lessen journey times by as much as 20 minutes.
Representatives of St Paul's Eye Unit, based at the Royal Liverpool University Hospital, were presented with the award at Liverpool Town Hall.
Lord Mayor of Liverpool Erica Kemp said the unit's "reputation for world class excellence" deserved to be recognised.
Prof Simon Harding, from the centre, said the award was "testament to the dedication and talent of our staff".
The chair professor of clinical ophthalmology at St Paul's Eye Unit said: "It is a highly prestigious accolade and one we are extremely proud to receive."
Ms Kemp said the eye centre formed an "important part of the fabric of our city's health heritage".
The unit was nominated for the honour by former Lord Mayor of Liverpool Roger Johnston.
Mr Johnston, who has type 2 diabetes, credits the eye clinic with saving his eyesight after it diagnosed diabetic retinopathy.
He said: "If I hadn't attended the screening appointment and benefited from the clinical trial I would now be blind and not a day goes by when I don't appreciate the quality of care and treatment I was given.
"The staff at St Paul's were incredible and I really felt that I received five star treatment from world class professionals."
The unit's origins date back to 1871 and it treats 100,000 patients each year.
The unit, which has been marking the award with a week of events including an Eyes Revealed exhibition featuring interactive demonstrations designed to showcase the workings of the eye and new treatments, will receive the freedom scroll in a ceremony at 16:30 GMT.

The leaked memo, marked "urgent" and dated 27 November, was from a commander of Thailand's Special Branch and was sent to police units.
It says Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) had told Thai police that the Syrian militants had entered the country between 15 and 31 October to target Russians.

The memo reads: "They travelled separately. Four went to Pattaya, two to Phuket, two to Bangkok and the other two to an unknown location."
The plan was to target "Russians and Russia's alliance with Thailand," it says.
The memo calls for increased security around possible targets.
Pattaya and Phuket are both popular resort destinations for Russian tourists, and Christmas and New Year are peak seasons.
But Thai authorities said they had still to determine whether the Syrians had even entered the country.
A deputy spokesman for the Thai police Songpol Wattanachai confirmed the memo was authentic, but added: "So far it's only intelligence news that still needs to be proved... we have no proof if they are here for real or not."
National Security Council Chief General Thawip Netniyom said: "We have yet to find any unusual movement. Everything is safe, rest assured."
Immigration Bureau commissioner Nathathorn Prausoontorn told Reuters news agency that of the 231 Syrians who had entered in October, only 21 remain and there were "no irregularities" among them.
In August, a bomb at a Bangkok temple that killed 20 people was the first major attack on a tourist target in Thailand.

There is a widely-held belief that it was carried out in retaliation for Thailand's controversial decision in July to repatriate more than 100 Uighur asylum seekers to China, he adds. | Thai police say they were warned by Moscow that 10 Syrians working for the so-called Islamic State (IS) entered Thailand in October to target Russians. |
Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Singh, a high-profile prisoner on death row for more than 21 years, was attacked by inmates armed with bricks in Lahore's Kot Lakhpat jail on Friday.
He is in intensive care with severe head injuries.
Singh was convicted of spying and carrying out four bomb attacks that killed 14 people in Pakistan in 1990.
His family say he is innocent and merely strayed across the border in Punjab by accident.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has described the attack on Singh as "very sad". There have been protests in India over the incident.
Officials from the Indian High Commission based in Lahore visited Singh in hospital late on Sunday, where his condition according to doctors remains "very critical".
A doctor was quoted as saying by the AFP news agency that Singh's family had "been provided a room inside the hospital".
"We want Sarabjit to be taken abroad for treatment," his sister Daljit Kaur told BBC Hindi after visiting the hospital.
"The doctors told us they couldn't say anything about when he would recover. They said, 'Just pray for him'," she said.
India's Foreign Minister Salman Khurshid told the NDTV news channel that the "matter is being taken up at every level" to "ensure that Singh can be sent back to India on humanitarian grounds".
Sarabjit Singh was reportedly attacked as he and other prisoners were brought out of their cells for a one-hour break.
Two inmates have been charged with attempted murder and two officials suspended.
Tensions have increased in the past six months with the execution in India of Kashmiri Afzul Guru over the attack on India's parliament 11 years ago, and of Mohammed Ajmal Qasab, the sole surviving attacker from the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
Sarabjit Singh's lawyer Owais Sheikh told AFP his client had received threats after Guru's execution.

John Donnelly, 74, emigrated to Australia from Scotland 40 years ago.
He abused four girls when he made return trips to Scotland during the 1970s and 80s.
Donnelly was jailed at the High Court in Glasgow after being convicted of the offences following a trial in March.
The crimes had been reported to police in 2006, with the Crown Office then initiating lengthy extradition proceedings to bring Donnelly to trial.
It eventually led to the Australian justice minister granting Donnelly's return to Scotland in 2014.
Donnelly's trial heard he had preyed on the girls during return trips to Scotland between 1978 and 1988.
The abuse occurred at houses in Glasgow and Prestonpans, East Lothian.
One victim told a jury how she was left "terrified" at the hands of Donnelly.
She also recalled seeing Donnelly sneak into a young relative's bedroom before ordering him out.

Summarize the provided section. | In August, it will block the Flash-powered parts of webpages that were "not essential to the user experience".
The browser developer said its action would mean webpages loaded more quickly and made crashes less likely.
In 2017, it said it planned to introduce a system that would mean users must click to activate Flash no matter where it was used on a webpage.
In a blogpost, Firefox developer Benjamin Smedberg said its first step would tackle the Flash-based parts of a webpage that users did not see. This includes files used to help with tracking and following which websites users visit, to aid advertising.
Many of these hidden functions can now be done using HTML - the language of the web - said Mr Smedberg.
This list of blocked files would gradually be expanded to those Flash files used by advertisers to see if their ads were being watched, he said.
Tackling these hidden and ad-related files should cut crashes and page "hangs" by up to 10%, he added.
Statistics gathered by Mozilla showed a steep fall in the number of times webpages crashed when Google and Facebook stopped using Flash for video and replaced it with HTML-based code.
He said the change would also make the Firefox browser more secure and could mean longer battery life on some portable devices.
In 2017, users will have to click to activate Flash for any webpage content. Mr Smedberg urged sites that rely on it to show video or games to adopt HTML-based alternatives as soon as possible.

Please summarize the given passage. | Philip Potter, 19, was transporting aggregate on Monday when the lorry careered down Lansdown Lane, hitting vehicles and pedestrians.
He had been licensed to drive the truck for months but recently passed a more advanced test to drive other heavy goods vehicles.
A four-year-old girl died in the crash.
Mitzi Steady and three men from Wales were all killed in Monday's tragedy.
Avon and Somerset Police have not said if officers have questioned Mr Potter since he left hospital.
Police accident investigators are still trying to establish just what caused the truck to crash. They are looking at the load it was carrying as well as any potential mechanical faults.
At the time of the crash Mitzi Steady was walking with her grandmother, who remains critically unwell in Southmead Hospital.
Phil Allen, 52, and Robert Parker, 59, of Cwmbran, and Stephen Vaughan, 34, from Swansea, also died when their car was hit by the 30-tonne truck.
There has been no public comment from Mr Potter but postings on Facebook suggest he passed his HGV test the day after his 19th birthday. Legally, the test can be taken from the age of 18.
However, it is understood he passed his LGV licence - required to operate the eight-wheeled tipper truck - some months earlier, and he has long-term experience with heavy farm vehicles.
Witnesses told the BBC that the lorry's horn was sounding repeatedly in the seconds before the crash - as if the driver was trying to warn people of the danger.
Police added that early witness accounts suggested the driver was trying to avert an accident.

"We plan to introduce a smartphone with a curved display in South Korea in October," said DJ Lee, Samsung's head of strategic marketing for mobile.
But he revealed no further details.
Digital display technology is progressing towards curved, bendy and foldable screens.
In January, Samsung exhibited prototype products with bendy and extendable screens, but doubts remain as to how such technology can be mass-produced cheaply and reliably.
"A curved screen isn't going to radically change the user's experience of a smartphone, but it does help Samsung differentiate itself in a crowded market where most phones are homogenous, flat-screen rectangles," Ben Wood, analyst at research company CCS Insight, told the BBC.
"My understanding is that these new phones will form part of Samsung's Active range, so the curved screen is probably to do with making the phone more flexible and rugged," he added.
Curved displays already feature in large-screen TVs, such as those produced by Samsung and its Korean rival, LG Electronics.
On Wednesday, LG launched a 55in (140cm) curved OLED TV in the UK.
Samsung has also been moving into wearable technology, such as its Galaxy Gear wristwatch phone.
Smartphones are now the dominant type of phone, with CCS Insight expecting one billion to be sold in 2013 out of a total of 1.7 billion mobile phones.
The unfortunate Devbot vehicle crashed out of the Roborace competition after misjudging a corner while travelling at high speed.
The incident occurred ahead of the start of the latest Formula E electric car race in Buenos Aires.
The other vehicle managed to complete the course after achieving a top speed of 186km/h (116mph).
"One of the cars was trying to perform a manoeuvre, and it went really full-throttle and took the corner quite sharply and caught the edge of the barrier," Roborace's chief marketing officer Justin Cooke told the BBC.
"It's actually fantastic for us because the more we see these moments the more we are able to learn and understand what was the thinking behind the computer and its data.
"The car was damaged, for sure, but it can be repaired. And the beauty is no drivers get harmed because... there is no-one in them."
Photos of the resulting damage have been published by an Argentinian blog. Roborace also plans to upload footage from the event onto its YouTube channel this Friday.
The Devbots are controlled by artificial intelligence software - rather than being remote-controlled by humans - and use a laser-based Lidar (light detection and ranging) system and other sensors to guide themselves. They also communicate to avoid collisions with each other.
Roborace's organisers had previously showed off one of their Devbots speeding round the UK's Donington Park circuit last August, but this was the first time they had publicly displayed two vehicles competing against each other.
Even so, they billed the event as a test run ahead of future plans to pit 10 teams of robotic cars against each other, each powered by different AI software.
Mr Cooke stressed that crash barriers and a limit on the Devbot's top speed had meant spectators in the Argentine capital had not been put at risk.
And he added that another incident involving the winning car illustrated built-in safety measures.
"A dog ran on to the track, and the car was able to slow down, avoid it and take another path," he said.
Roborace's chief executive Denis Sverdlov will reveal more details about his company's plans, at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona next week.
The company then intends to show off its tech again at the next Formula E race, in Mexico City on 1 April.

What is the summary of the provided article? | The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) said "mismanagement" of the project had left customers "angry and frustrated".
It warns "similar flaws" could impact on planned electrification schemes on Midlands and TransPennine routes.
Network Rail claimed it had "learnt lessons" and major projects no longer start before being "properly scoped".
However, doubts have been expressed that the plan to electrify the London to Cardiff line can be delivered by December 2018 and to a budget of £2.8bn, while the PAC described a £1.2bn increase in costs "in the space of a year" as "staggering and unacceptable".
Among its recommendations it said the DfT and Network Rail should reassess the case for electrification section-by-section and fund schemes "only where worthwhile benefits for passengers could not be achieved otherwise at lower cost".
The committee added Network Rail needed to produce "realistic cost estimates" and have "robust and detailed" plans.
Meg Hillier MP, chair of the PAC, said mismanagement of the Great Western programme has hit taxpayers hard and left many people angry and frustrated.
"This is a stark example of how not to run a major project, from flawed planning at the earliest stage to weak accountability and what remain serious questions about the reasons for embarking on the work in the first place.
"The sums of public money wasted are appalling - not least the £330m additional costs the Department for Transport will have to pay to keep the trains running because of delays to electrification."
Network Rail said the modernisation was agreed in 2009, "long before the scale of the work was properly understood".
"Network Rail and Department for Transport (DfT) have learnt the lessons from the poor early planning of this project," a spokesman said.
"Today we do not take forward major projects until they are properly scoped, properly planned and we have a robust estimate of what the cost will be."
Two protesters abseiled down Parliament House in Canberra, unfurling a banner saying "close the bloody camps now".
Australia sends asylum seekers who arrive by boat to offshore detention centres in Papua New Guinea and Nauru.
The government believes the policy prevents deaths at sea, but critics argue it is inhumane.
On Thursday, 13 more demonstrators held placards in a pond they dyed red to symbolise blood.
Last month, the Australian government rejected a human rights report comparing its asylum seeker camp on Nauru to an open-air prison.
The protest banners on Thursday called for an end to offshore detention and the controversial policy of boat turnbacks. The demonstration lasted about two hours.
The same protest group, Whistleblowers Activists and Citizens Alliance, was responsible for forcing the suspension of parliament for 40 minutes on Wednesday.
In heated scenes, the group of about 30 demonstrators shouted the detention policy was "separating families" and "killing innocent people".
Security guards used hand sanitiser to remove six protesters who glued their hands to a railing in the public gallery.
"We are here today because you have become world leaders in cruelty," the protesters said.
The asylum-seeker policies are supported by both the government and the Labor opposition. The issue has highly polarised public sentiment, with the majority agreeing with the government's position.
Both major parties condemned the interruption on Wednesday.
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten thanked security staff for their handling of the demonstration.
"The reason why the Labor Party stayed in here today is because we will never give in to those who wish to shut down this parliament," he said.
"This is the exact opposite of democracy."
However, Greens MP Adam Bandt praised the protesters for their actions.

The AI will also be used to predict malfunctions and other problems, which could help reduce the number of maritime incidents.
The companies plan to build about 250 self-navigating ships.
Developing the technology is expected to cost tens of billions of yen (hundreds of millions of dollars).
Shipping firms Mitsui OSK Lines and Nippon Yusen are working with shipbuilders including Japan Marine United to share both costs and expertise, according to the Nikkei Asian Review.
Nippon Yusen has already been working on technology to enable ships to use data to assess collision risks. It is also working with Norwegian maritime company DNV GL to collect and analyse data on vessel condition and performance.
Japan Marine has been developing a similar data analysis system with the aim of diagnosing breakdowns before they happen.
The first ships will retain a small crew to oversee certain operations, but there are plans to develop completely autonomous vessels in the future.
In 2016, Rolls-Royce announced plans to develop unmanned cargo ships, starting with remote-controlled vessels that could be operational as soon as 2020.
"This is happening. It's not if, it's when," Rolls-Royce vice president of marine innovation Oskar Levander said at the time.
"We will see a remote-controlled ship in commercial use by the end of the decade."
Navigation and basic operations will be automated, while a human "captain" based on shore will continue to look after "critical decision-making".
Fairline Boats, with bases at Corby and Oundle in Northamptonshire, was taken over by private equity firm Wessex Bristol Investments in October.
Administrators FRP Advisory will keep 69 staff on temporarily to liaise with current clients and market the company for sale.
Unite union organiser Mick Orpin said the company had a viable future.
The administrators also said "a handful of staff" will remain at the motor yacht company's testing site in Ipswich in Suffolk.
Before entering administration, the company employed 450 people in Northamptonshire.
FRP Advisory is liaising with staff, customers, suppliers and agents to "ensure value can be realised from servicing existing orders", according to joint administrator Alastair Massey.
"The business is being marketed for sale... Fairline is a proud brand and has an array of loyal customers," he said.
Mr Orpin said the job losses were "a real financial body blow to staff facing a grim Christmas" and the Fairline still had "a viable and sustainable future with good management".
On 4 December, Conservative MP for Corby and East Northamptonshire Tom Pursglove said he had written to the secretary of state for business to encourage an investigation into the company's management.
Fairline was put into administration by private equity fund Better Capital on 2 December - ten weeks after it sold it to Wessex Bristol, for a deferred £2m.
A spokesman for Better Capital said administrators were called in after Wessex Bristol failed to deliver promised funds to Fairline which were "essential for it to function".
But Ayiaz Ahmed, who runs Wessex Bristol, said he was "gutted" at the decision and he "could have turned this business around". | Japanese shipping companies are working with shipbuilders to develop self-piloting cargo ships.

Please summarize the following text. | Daniel Fox, 29, from St Helens, was found with a knife wound in Westfield Street and North John Street at about 03:20 BST on Friday.
Two women, both aged 18 and from the Rainhill area, have been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.
One has been released on police bail and one is still being questioned.
Police said Mr Fox was attacked outside Dreem Bar where he worked, where staff described him as "a good guy and a gent".
Paying tribute, his family said he had recently become a carer for autistic children and was "an outgoing, loving and private person".
The men, aged 38, 34 and 30, were arrested on Monday at separate addresses. They remain in custody.
Police said they were aware of the woman's identity but would not name her until her next of kin were informed.
Her body was found near Delamere Terrace in Little Venice, west London, on Sunday.
An initial post-mortem test on the woman's body proved "inconclusive" and further tests are required, Met Police detectives have said.
Det Ch Insp Simon Ashwin said: "We now believe that the body, in a black suitcase, was placed in the Grand Union Canal at some point in the last two weeks.
"Whilst the body was recovered near to Little Venice it is highly likely that she entered the water further along the canal."
He said the force was "following a number of lines of inquiry" and it was conducting house-to-house enquiries as well as reviewing CCTV footage.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has suggested Scotland could stay in the EU and the UK, with SNP MPs asking if "remain means remain" for Scotland.
Prime Minister Theresa May said she was "willing to listen to options".
But Attorney General Jeremy Wright underlined that Holyrood has no "veto" and said "all of the UK" would leave.
Scottish voters backed remaining in the EU by a margin of 62% to 38% in June's referendum, while the UK as a whole voted by 52% to 48% to leave.
The Scottish government has set up an expert group to study Scotland's options for retaining links with the EU, with all options including a second independence referendum "on the table".
During a question session at Westminster, Mr Wright, the chief legal advisor to the UK government, was questioned by SNP MPs on whether Scotland should be allowed to remain in the EU while the UK leaves, and on whether Holyrood could wield a "veto".
Glasgow Central MP Alison Thewliss then queried whether the government had the legal authority to trigger Article 50, the formal process of leaving the EU, without the legislative consent of devolved administrations like Holyrood.
Mr Wright said: "I think it is perfectly right that all parts of the UK including the governments of the devolved administrations should be able to participate in the process of developing the UK's approach to these negotiations.
"But this does not mean that any of the parts of the UK have a veto over this process - so consultation most certainly, but veto I'm afraid not."
The attorney general also insisted that "all of the UK" will be leaving the EU.
David Nuttall, the Conservative MP for Bury North, had voiced his concerns that the UK could be "held to ransom by the Scottish nationalists".
Mr Wright replied: "I think the prime minister has been clear that the United Kingdom will leave the European Union, and that means all of the United Kingdom.
"But I think it's very important that in the process of leaving the EU, all parts of the UK have the opportunity to contribute to the negotiations that we will engage in, and that is the spirit in which the UK government will approach this process."

They include new houses in Glasgow with support for veterans living there.
The way former service men and women are recorded on GP records will also be improved.
Minister for Veterans Keith Brown, himself a Falklands War veteran, has published a paper setting out the measures the government is pledged to implement.
The government has already allowed service personnel to apply for social housing before they leave the forces.
Now it will build a unit of 50 homes in Glasgow's Cranhill district where former servicemen and women will also have access to outreach support to help them adjust to civilian life.
The homes, being constructed by the Scottish Veterans' Housing Association at a cost of £6.5m, will be ready by the end of 2013.
The Scottish government is providing £2.3m towards the overall cost of the project.
The Armed Forces Commitments Paper also addresses the medical needs of former service personnel who may have mental health issues, addiction or suicide concerns.
GP records will be improved to ensure doctors can identify service-related conditions.
Launching the paper at Edinburgh Castle, Mr Brown said the bravery, loyalty and professionalism of Scotland's servicemen and women deserved the government's wholehearted care and support.
He said :"This commitments paper sets out our obligations to serving personnel, their families, reservists, veterans and the bereaved and how we will continue to meet these.
"With input from partner organisations like Veterans Scotland, we will continue to develop, deliver and implement new and innovative policies to support this dedicated group of men and women."
Among other pledges are examining how the NHS can provide the best support possible for family members when reservists are away on operations and encouraging more injured service personnel to take up sport and potentially get involved with events such as the Paralympics.
Veterans' charities have welcomed the commitments announced which they said would allow them to ensure help and support are available to those who have served in the armed forces.
Martin Gibson, of Veterans Scotland, said: "The coherence of the paper's policies will allow Veterans Scotland and the military charities to work in a well defined arena which will go a significant way to ensuring that help and support will be available to our veterans wherever it is needed."
The Rt Hon Donald Wilson, Lord Lieutenant, Lord Provost of the City of Edinburgh and Veterans Champion, said: "Edinburgh has a long and proud tradition of honouring its military service personnel and veterans for the immense sacrifice they make day in and day out to keep this country and its people safe.
"Sending people to war is a huge responsibility but supporting them when they return is just as important.
"In my role as Veterans Champion for Edinburgh, I will work closely with the Scottish government on fulfilling the commitments set out in this paper." | The Irish government has expressed sympathy to the people of France after a lorry drove into a crowd in Nice, claiming at least 84 lives.

Few details have been released about the TRNSMT Festival, which will run from 7-9 July at Glasgow Green.
However, those behind the festival have launched a website which reveals the date of the event.
Scotland's largest music festival, T in the Park, had previously announced it was to take a break this year.
Organisers DF Concerts had said it needed to "take stock" and the two years since the festival moved to Strathallan from Balado had seen "challenges".
The BBC is to broadcast highlights of the TRNSMT Festival across the weekend.
The Hibs boss also hit out at the "pathetic" decision to send him to the stand for challenging the ruling.
"We had a perfectly legitimate goal disallowed. It was a beautiful goal.
"I've remonstrated with the linesman and the next thing I know I'm sitting in the stand. It's pathetic, absolutely pathetic," Lennon told BBC Scotland.
Hibs fell behind after just 17 seconds of the second qualifying round first leg at Easter Road, goalkeeper Otso Virtanen fumbling the ball into the path of Kamil Wilczec to turn the ball home.
Cummings thought he had hauled Hibs level after finishing off a fine move, only to see the strike ruled out for offside.
"The linesman's not up with play so he can't make the decision," Lennon continued.
"We've seen it again about five times from different angles and Jason has actually checked his run to make sure he is onside."
Despite the defeat, Lennon believes his team can go to Denmark and win to go through to the next round.
"Yeah, no question. We've had a good look at them now. Maybe they got spooked a little bit the first five or 10 minutes which is natural when you concede a goal in the manner that we did, but the reaction after that was fantastic. So the tie is not over."
"It was a quality performance. There were some outstanding performances. The team as a whole were excellent. They gave me everything tonight I could have asked for really.
"A really top quality performance from a team that wasn't expected to produce that. I am surprised not only by the level of quality they have shown but their desire, which is very pleasing."

Provide a concise summary of this excerpt. | Gatland's side were beaten 40-7 by the Super Rugby team on Tuesday.
The New Zealander led the Lions to a 2013 tour win in Australia, and Feehan says his record speaks for itself.
"One game in Hamilton is neither here nor there in the overall scheme of things," he told BBC Scrum V Radio.
"It's so easy to just be negative about one result, it's got nothing to do with it. Look at Warren's CV, it's just a stunning CV."
Tuesday's defeat, in Gatland's home town, was against a side missing their eight All Blacks, though Wales made 14 changes and rested most of their front-line players.
Since Gatland, 52, became coach in 2007, Wales have won three Six Nations titles and two Grand Slams.
Beating the Wallabies was the Lions' first series win since the 1997 tour to South Africa.
Feehan has previously described Gatland as the "leading contender" for the three-Test Tour to his native New Zealand, with the Wales coach admitting the job would be "difficult to turn down".
The Lions, who have won just one series against the All Blacks in eight tours, will play three Tests against the world champions as well as facing all five of New Zealand's Super Rugby franchises.
Wales, beaten 39-21 by New Zealand in the first Test at Eden Park, play Steve Hansen's side again in Wellington on Saturday and are looking for a first win over the All Blacks since 1953.
Interviews for the Lions head coach role will take place after the summer tours, with an announcement due in September.
"There is a lot of rugby to played in the next little while and I wouldn't bet against Wales having a really good one this weekend," said Feehan.
England coach Eddie Jones has said he does not want to be considered for the Lions job.
The Australian led England to a Grand Slam in this year's Six Nations and is now targeting a series win in his home country after victory in Saturday's opening Test.
"He was quite clear with us. He has said that he does not want to be involved," said Feehan.
"We need to respect his wishes. If Eddie wants to have a think otherwise, it's up to him basically.
"But for now we have got to respect the wishes that he has put out there publicly." | Warren Gatland's chances of becoming British and Irish Lions coach for next year's tour of New Zealand have not been damaged by Wales' thrashing by the Chiefs, says Lions chief John Feehan. |

Taiwan split from the mainland in 1949 after a civil war but has never formally declared independence. China still regards it as part of its territory.
President Tsai, who is from the pro-independence Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), pledged Tw$500,000 ($15,430; £11,000) to the choir when she heard their trip had been cancelled.
The tour had been intended to raise money for the choir's travel to a singing competition in Hungary in August, choir executive Tsai Yi-fang told AFP news agency.
In 2000, China called off concerts of the Taiwanese singer Chang Hui-mei after she performed Taiwan's national anthem at the inauguration of President Chen Shui-bian.
The former England fly-half says despite suggestions of a change in style, the English will play to their traditional strengths.
"Parity in the scrum for Scotland should see England have to play away from the scrum a little bit."
"But ultimately, despite all the talk about change, England will try to bully Scotland," Grayson said.
The Scots have not beaten England since 2008, and have won only one opening fixture in 16 seasons of Six Nations rugby.
They did show signs of improvement at last year's World Cup, however, where they fell agonisingly short of a momentous quarter-final upset against Australia.
Grayson, who won 32 caps between 1995 and 2004, says England will be expecting a tougher test than they have received against Scotland for several years.
"Scotland have shown in the World Cup and the work they've done under Vern Cotter it's not smoke and mirrors," the former Northampton Saints man told BBC Scotland.
"They've got a very good squad. They've got young players that are playing together and winning together with Glasgow's success in the Pro12.
"So it is a credible threat from Scotland, it's not just a war of words. England will be nervous." | China has cancelled an invitation to a Taiwanese children's choir after they sang the national anthem at the inauguration of the island's president.

"It could have been slightly easier but it's certainly box office," Lawwell told BBC Radio Scotland's Sportsound.
"To host these fantastic European clubs will just be magnificent."
Bayern Munich have won the Bundesliga for the past five seasons and feature players of the stature of Manuel Neuer and Jerome Boeteng, while PSG boast the world's most expensive player, Neymar, in their ranks.
Anderlecht have begun their season in indifferent form but last season were knocked out of the Europa League last eight by eventual winners Manchester United.
Lawwell praised Celtic's manager, Brendan Rodgers, for guiding Celtic to their 10th Champions League group stage appearance, and spoke of the excitement at the draw.
"We're relishing it," said Lawwell. "I haven't spoken to Brendan since the draw but I'm sure he's relishing it and we'll be ready to do our very best.
"I'm sure we will do our supporters proud.
"Clearly, as everyone recognises, the job that Brendan has done has been absolutely exceptional. To qualify two years running for the Champions League, with all the difficulties that qualification process presents is just fantastic, it's astonishing.
"The team have come on, they have taken on what he has been teaching them. I'm sure we'll give it a right good shot."
Lawwell, who hopes to complete the loan signing of Patrick Roberts from Manchester City and the paperwork around Rivaldo Coetzee's arrival from Ajax Cape Town, said that being in the group stage is an important "part of the formula" that the club adheres to.
"We bring the players in, develop them, put them on the stage at Celtic Park and play them in the Champions League," he said.
"Then it's up to them. If they want to stay, fantastic, but they have an opportunity to go. Players want to play in the Champions League and they want to play for Celtic."
Meanwhile, Celtic defender Kieran Tierney said "everybody at Celtic is buzzing off Champions League football again".
He said: "This is what you want as a footballer. You're in the biggest tournament there is. So, to go out there, and play against the best is what you want to do."
At the prospect of stopping the attacking menace of Neymar, Tierney said: "You need to do your normal job - you defend as well as you can. You know they are top-class players you are up against but you don't want to go in with any fear at all.
"You don't know if they (PSG) will be complacent. Everybody knows what Celtic Park is like and everybody knows the atmosphere.

The Colombian black-headed spider monkeys, which are usually found in parts of South America, arrived within three weeks of each other.
Zookeepers say these primates are a critically endangered species in the wild, due to deforestation and hunting, so these births are really important.
"Both of our new black-headed spider monkey mums are taking great care of their little ones, spending lots of time cradling them. They'll continue to care for them in this way until the youngsters are at the age of 20 months" said Claire Parry, the zoo's assistant team manager of primates.
President Emmanuel Macron is hoping to obtain a strong mandate in parliament to help him pursue his reform plans.
His La République en Marche (Republic on the Move or LREM) with its MoDem allies is expected to win most seats.
Traditional parties are urging voters to back Mr Macron's rivals to stop a monopolisation of power.
President Macron formed his party just over a year ago, and half of its candidates have little or no political experience.
They include a retired bullfighter, a Rwandan refugee and a mathematician.
A party needs 289 seats to control the 577-seat National Assembly. LREM is predicted to win more than 400.
In the first round Mr Macron's LREM and MoDem won 32.3% of the vote.
The centre-right Republicans had 21.5%, while the far-right National Front (FN) had 13.2%, followed by the far-left La France Insoumise (France Unbowed) on just over 11%.
The Socialists, previously France's ruling party, and their allies won just 9.5%.
However, the turnout was low, despite claims that President Macron had re-energised the voting public.
Analysts said it reflected a sense of resignation among his opponents.
Only four seats were settled in the first round.
The second round will see the two top-placed contenders for each seat facing each other, along with any other candidate who won the support of at least 12.5% of registered voters in the district.
Here are some of the key battles to look out for:
Is Macron the anti-Trump?

The images show the vehicle, which police say was stolen from Blaby, Leicestershire, on 29 April, driving through Leicester city centre and down Belvoir Street.
The car was last seen driving off towards Aylestone Road before being found burned out on Monday on College Road, Whetstone.
Officers said the vehicle was being driven on false plates with the registration number YW08 LLV.
Det Insp David Swift-Rollinson said he hoped releasing the pictures would "jog someone's memory and prompt them to come forward".

Please summarize the given passage. | Tooting MP Sadiq Khan defended his opposition to a third runway at Heathrow, saying London's air quality was already breaching EU regulations.
He said Gatwick Airport should be expanded, with "high speed links" between the two and a single check-in.
But rival David Lammy accused him of "the same Ed Miliband politics".
"My view is the way to proceed is no third runway at Heathrow," Mr Khan said, calling for "a better Heathrow, not a bigger one".
But Tottenham MP Mr Lammy questioned the timing of Mr Khan's decision, which came after the emergence of Conservative MP and environmental campaigner Zac Goldsmith as a potential Tory candidate for the 2016 election.
"Zac Goldsmith has announced he's running and suddenly Sadiq is against it," he said, accusing Mr Khan of "playing the same Ed Miliband politics that got us nowhere".
Former culture secretary Tessa Jowell said she was prepared to wait until the final report of the Airports Commission which is looking at the options for expanding London's air capacity before making up her mind.
But she warned against the issue becoming "gridlocked" in government.
"We can't go on forever putting this decision off because it's just too difficult," she said.
Journalist Christian Wolmar said climate change should inform the decision, while Harrow West MP Gareth Thomas said new runways should be built at both Heathrow and Gatwick.
Hackney North and Stoke Newington MP Diane Abbott also opposed Heathrow expansion.
The candidates were also asked about the "mansion" tax on homes worth over £2m that was proposed by Labour ahead of the general election.
Mr Lammy, Ms Jowell, Ms Abbott and Mr Wolmar all criticised the policy, with Ms Jowell saying that while it had been "well intentioned" it had been "emblematically disastrous" for Labour because it had caused people "anxiety" even if they weren't affected.
The Aberdeen midfielder was at Hampden Park as the Scottish Premiership's 12 club captains looked forward to the start of the domestic season.
"I am still watching it now in the car down," Shinnie said of his 25-yard drive against the Cypriots.
"It was one that I enjoyed and one that's taken a long time to come."
Shinnie scored three goals last season - and has hit the net four times since joining the Dons from Inverness Caledonian Thistle two years ago.
"I've probably never scored a goal like that in my career, so to do it on that stage in a packed-out Pittodrie was something I enjoyed," said the 25-year-old.
Aberdeen are looking to avoid a fourth exit in a row in the third qualifying stage of the Europa League, but Shinnie thinks they have their best chance yet to reach the play-off stage.
"It would be massive," he said. "Since I have been here, we have always nearly been into this round and it has been frustrating in some of the games we went out.
"Even Maribor last year, I thought we were the better team over the two legs.
"But we are in a different situation this time, going over with a lead."
Shinnie thinks the Aberdeen squad has better strength in depth following manager Derek McInnes' summer recruitment and that gives him added confidence that they can protect their lead on Thursday.
"They were good opposition," he added. "Especially at home in Cyprus with the heat and the home atmosphere and everything else, it will be a tough game, but we know we can do it.
"It is going to be a different experience from the last round - we went over there knowing we had to score and had to win.
"But this one we are in front, so we don't need to score, although I think we can score.
"I think they showed that we can exploit their weaknesses and there will be chances over there.

Others, including the Lib Dems, want more regulation in the debt sector.
There is widespread concern over the levels of personal debt among working households.
The City regulator - the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) - has warned of an acceleration in consumer borrowing, such as loans, overdrafts, credit card debt and car finance. This echoes concerns raised by the Bank of England.
The total amount of consumer debt tops £1.5 trillion. Although this is dominated by mortgage borrowing, there is a vast array of debt products creating concern.
A Lords committee also recently called for stronger controls such as a cap on "rent to own" products.
The FCA is already conducting is own inquiry into overdrafts, door-to-door lending and other forms of loans. Consumer groups have consistently argued there should be an overdraft cap in place.
The regulator estimates that 3.3 million people are in persistent credit card debt.
The biggest focus in recent times has been on car finance deals. The value of finance deals used to buy new cars has soared to a new monthly record, according to latest figures, with motorists having spent £3.6bn on deals in March.
The fear is that households, with a regular but stagnant salary, are using their income to fund an increasing amount of debt, leaving them at risk if interest rates were to rise from historic lows.
Mike O'Connor, chief executive of debt charity StepChange, said: "In addition to better protections for people in debt, the next government should commit to action to prevent the 8.8 million people currently showing signs of financial difficulty from falling into serious hardship.
"It should work to ensure better alternatives to dangerous forms of high-cost credit, and it should act to help families build up savings to insulate them from problem debt."
More than 16 million people in the UK have savings of less than £100, according to the Money Advice Service, leaving them further exposed to a financial shock.
In five areas - Northern Ireland, the West Midlands, Yorkshire and Humber, North East England and Wales - more than half the adult population has savings below £100.
There is a risk to UK economic stability too, with lenders standing to lose much more on their consumer credit loans than they would on mortgage lending if there is an economic downturn and their borrowers default on their credit card and other personal loans.
Proposed action includes:
StepChange welcomed the breathing space scheme for those in serious debt - but said this should be extended to a year.
It said this would allow those in debt owing to issues such as family breakdown or a reduction in working hours to be allowed time to rebuild their income to prepare to repay what they borrowed.
Campaigners have also called for greater protection for those facing mental health difficulties, particularly regarding store cards and "impulse" borrowing.
Polly Mackenzie, director of the Money and Mental Health Policy Institute, said: "Customers are encouraged to take out complex new credit deals on the spur of the moment, at the front of a queue in a shop or in a few clicks at an online checkout.
"For people with mental health problems in particular this is leading to real financial difficulty, encouraging impulsive spending that can be a symptom of a number of mental health problems, and setting people up in credit arrangements that they often don't fully understand." | People in serious debt can expect more legal protection from bailiffs, charges and interest after pledges in the major parties' manifestos. |

Temperatures in the area reached around minus 12 this month.
He was diving into the snow to find some food - watch this clip to see how he gets on.
Chris Newton, 57, was fishing off the coast at Cadgwith, Cornwall, in December 2013 when he went overboard.
Sam James, the co-owner of the boat, believes the Coastguard should have called on the search and rescue helicopter earlier in the operation.
The Coastguard said all of the correct procedures had been followed. A jury returned a verdict of accidental death.
Mr Newton left Cadgwith on his vessel, the Amy Jane, at about 12:30 GMT on 4 December. He was expected to return five hours later.
The inquest in Truro heard Mr James became increasingly anxious when he failed to return and called the Coastguard at 18:51 GMT.
Falmouth Coastguard alerted the Lizard lifeboat, coastal rescue teams and all vessels in the area.
The survey vessel, Triad, found Mr Newton in the water at 19:51 GMT. A helicopter was called and arrived at 20:08 GMT.
Mr Newton was taken by helicopter to the Royal Cornwall Hospital in Truro but went into cardiac arrest and was pronounced dead at 21:10 GMT.
The inquest heard Mr Newton, a former director of environment for the States of Jersey, had been out on the 3.9m (13ft) boat with Mr James several times but never alone.
Giving evidence, Mr James said he thought "a helicopter would have been tasked immediately" when he reported the missing boat.
James Instance, Falmouth Coastguard rescue centre manager, said they were initially dealing with "a vessel overdue".
He said as soon as it was known a man was in the water the rescue helicopter was alerted and sent to the scene.
John McCorquodale, inspector with the Marine Accident Investigation Branch, told the inquest it was impossible to say for certain what had led to Mr Newton's death.
He said: "The boat was steered from a standing position.
"If Chris had removed his hand from the tiller to do something in the main part of the boat it is possible that the engine could have moved suddenly, causing the boat to veer sharply off course and throw him overboard."
Mr Newton was wearing a lifejacket but did not have a personal location beacon (PLB) or VHF radio.
A jury of nine people returned the verdict of accidental death.
An inquiry was carried out after a manager alleged Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust was manipulating its death rates.
The Freedom of Information Commissioner has warned the NHS Trust Development Authority failure to respond to a BBC request could be contempt of court.
The authority said it was having difficulty finding all the information.
The independent inquiry begun in March 2014 after manager Sandra Haynes Kirkbright made the allegation.
Led by judge Lucy Scott Moncrieff, it was meant to provide a swift examination into Chief Executive David Loughton's treatment of whistleblowers.
Former chairman Richard Harris, a non-executive director, David Ritchie, and cancer specialist David Ferry - a consultant who revealed patient safety concerns - are among those known to have given evidence.
Ms Scott Moncrieff confirmed her report was completed last March but it has yet to be published by the authority for legal reasons.
The BBC made an FOI request on 27 October to find out what was holding up the report, asking for all communications between the authority and Department of Health regarding it, as well as between the authority and the trust.
On 5 January, the BBC contacted the FOI commissioner after three attempts to get a response from the authority within the statutory 20 days failed.
It was given a further 10 days to reply, but has yet to do so.
On January 25, a spokesman for the authority said: "We have faced difficulties in locating all of the documents relevant to your request which has contributed to the delay.
"We are still working to retrieve these to ensure that we can share with you as much relevant information as possible."
The commissioner told the authority to provide a "substantive response" to the BBC request within 35 days, warning failure to do so may be dealt with as contempt of court.
The authority said the report's publication was expected shortly and it would then consider the need for any further reviews into the running of the trust. | Everyone's been enjoying the snow this weekend - including this little squirrel in Estonia, Eastern Europe.

After President Michel Martelly's mandate expired in February, Jocelerme Privert was named interim leader.
The Caribbean nation was choosing a new president and lawmakers.
The presidential election will probably go to a second round on 29 January as none of the 27 candidates is expected to gain the 50% of the votes necessary to win outright in the first round.
Exit polls suggested Jovenel Moise, 47, had an early lead, although the supporters of Maryse Narcisse said their candidate was ahead.
Mr Moise enjoys the backing of former President Martelly and belongs to his Parti Haitien Tet Kale (Haitian Bald Head Party).
A banana exporter, Mr Moise won the first round of presidential election held in October 2015 but following allegations of fraud, those elections were annulled.
Ms Narcisse, a doctor, has the backing of Haiti's first democratically elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and is one of two women running for the top office.
Whoever wins the election will face the challenge of reconstructing a country which has been ravaged by natural disasters.

The Banchory couple had married at the Raemoir House Hotel earlier this month, but organised the more unusual photoshoot for two weeks later at Glen Dye.
Trashing the dress is a phenomenon the couple had heard about before.
The new Mrs Birnie, nee Anderson, 29, a logistics co-ordinator, told BBC Scotland: "It was all my idea. It was just something different.
"I just thought it looked like a load of fun.
"I did not just want my dress to sit in the loft forever - I thought it would be good to make more memories.
"It's not completely destroyed but it will be stained. It's at the dry cleaners.
"I had a locket made from part of the dress before we did this shoot.
"I still had powder paint in my hair for a day or two."

"When they came in they also said they wanted to trash the dress.
"We sat down and chatted. The wedding images were still the most important.
"I did ask Sammy if she was sure as it was a beautiful dress and they are not cheap.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Researchers at King's College London believe electricity can be used to strengthen a tooth by forcing minerals into the layer of enamel.
They hope it will get rid of the need for drills, injections and fillings.
A company has been set up to bring the technique to the dentist's chair in the next three years.
Minerals such as calcium and phosphate naturally flow in and out of the tooth. Acid produced by bacteria munching on food in the mouth help leach minerals out.
The group at King's apply a mineral cocktail and then use a small electric current to drive the minerals deep into the tooth.
They say "Electrically Accelerated and Enhanced Remineralisation" can strengthen the tooth and reduce dental caries - areas of tooth decay.
This is the launch of a company - Reminova - which will be based in Perth, Scotland.
There is no device to see and due to confidentiality there has been no published evidence of the technique's effectiveness in medical journals.
Prof Nigel Pitts, one of the inventors and an investor in the new company, told the BBC: "This is early stage - you don't start with the finished product - but we're excited because we think it is groundbreaking.
"We have set up a company to convert it from a demonstration technology into a viable commercial product that we can put into the hands of dentists around the world."
He said the technology had the potential to replace the need for many existing fillings, but could not tackle large "end-stage" cavities.
"What it wont do is physically re-grow a tooth," he added.
Baltasar Saucedo Estrada - known as the "dog-killer" - is alleged to be a local leader of the Zetas drugs cartel.
The attack on the Casino Royale in Monterrey in August was one of the deadliest in Mexico in years.
It is thought it was ordered because the owners refused to pay protection money.
Mr Saucedo, 38, was detained on Thursday in a suburb of Monterrey after crashing his car as he tried to escape a police patrol, officials said.
More than $1m (£640,000) had been offered for information leading to his capture.
He is also accused of involvement in the murder of police officers.
Nearly 20 suspects have been arrested in connection with the attack, which shocked Mexico.
The Zetas are one of Mexico's most powerful and violent drugs cartels, and have been expanding their influence in recent years.

Summarize the following excerpt. | Born Teuku Zakaria on 22 March, 1929 in the coastal state of Penang, he is regarded as a prominent icon of Malay entertainment.
P. Ramlee enjoyed fame across South East Asia, even reaching as far as Hong Kong and Japan.
He died from a heart attack, at the age of 44, in a shock to the nation.
"His artistic achievements left a permanent mark on the cultural history of Malaysia," read a statement on Google's website.
An actor, director, producer, singer-songwriter and composer, P. Ramlee wore multiple hats during his career. He contributed to more than 60 films and composed 250 songs.
One of his most famous films was Nujum Pak Belalang. Loosely based on a Malay folk tale, it tells the story of a man and his son who work together to help their village by posing as royal astrologers.
Google said that the doodle, available only on its Malaysia page, highlighted "the Malaysian legend's diverse artistry and shows him as people best remember him" referring to his thin moustache, chequered suit and with his head cocked slightly to the side.
He "was able to reach out to different classes of society, bringing people together with his brand of humour," Andrew Lim, music director of a classical radio station in Singapore told the BBC.
"His comedies use a brand of Malay which brings me back to my childhood. P. Ramlee was so brilliant as a comedic actor because he had perfect timing and was able to deliver his lines in the most natural way," said Mr Lim.
Growing up in Penang, P. Ramlee was said to have been a reluctant student who loved music and football.
However, his studies were interrupted by the Japanese occupation of Malaysia between 1942 to 1945 where he enrolled in a navy school and was taught to sing Japanese songs. After the war ended, he continued his musical studies.
A documentary released in 2010 showed how the entertainer had later been forgotten by the Malaysian entertainment industry and the public who felt his songs and films were no longer relevant or marketable.
"The reason why he became irrelevant was because during that time, there was an influx of other things like Hong Kong and Chinese movies so there was competition," said veteran Malay TV personality Najip Ali.
"He became lost as there were other directors who wanted to establish themselves. But the thing about him was that he was an amazing storyteller and could encapsulate that era."
The documentary also revealed that despite his success, P. Ramlee died penniless.
"While he loved making others laugh, he was someone who had led a very sad life," Mr Lim said.
Today, his contribution are widely honoured. Museums, halls, buildings and even a street in the capital Kuala Lumpur have been named after him.
Recently a musical about the work of P. Ramlee was performed, featuring new singers and composers.
"But after listening to it, you would know that the original songs were far more superior," Mr Ali said.
Sean Ghazi, a Malaysian actor who portrayed P. Ramlee in the musical called him a "Malaysian musical hero."
"He was our renaissance artist, a mixture of Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin."

Magistrates in the town found Perkins, who did not attend the hearing, guilty of inflicting "unnecessary suffering" to the animal.
He is due to be sentenced on 3 January.
The court heard a statement from RSPCA investigating officer Jason Finch, who said Perkins told him he "wasn't really thinking" during the attack.
He said Perkins had a drink problem, felt remorse and wished the incident never happened.
The attack was in a town which has been identified as a hot spot for hedgehogs and where work is ongoing by Suffolk Wildlife Trust to protect the species.
Speaking outside the court, RSPCA inspector Natalie Bartle said: "It was an act of senseless cruelty towards this hedgehog.
"We all know that the hedgehog population is currently on the decline, seriously on the decline in fact.

What is the summary of the following article? | It follows industrial problems at the school over the past few months.
The Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (CCMS) said Imelda Jordan had been appointed to the role.
A group representing parents of some pupils has called for management to be stood down.
The school's governors appointed Ms Jordan, a former principal at St Colm's High School, following discussions with CCMS.
She will take up the post on 4 April.
"CCMS, alongside the board of governors and the unions, is involved in implementing a strategic plan for the school to address issues that have been identified by staff and all parties remain committed to this," CCMS said in a statement.
"CCMS is conscious of concerns that have been raised by parents regarding the impact of teacher absence on their children's learning and is anxious to address this issue as a matter of urgency to restore their confidence in the school's provision."
About a third of the 70-strong teaching staff at the school were absent for a number of days last week.
A group of parents have been holding regular demonstrations outside the school, where they were joined for a short period last week by about 50 pupils.
The Concerned Parents Committee said the positions of the principal, vice-principal and board of governors were "untenable".
The group released a statement on Tuesday night in which they said they had held meetings with political and religious representatives.
The parents' committee said there had been a "breakdown of confidence, trust, respect and communication" at the school.
"Managerial actions, approaches and strategies taken to date have contributed largely to the current crisis," the committee said.
"It is the view of this committee that the positions of the existing principal, vice-principal and current board of governors are untenable.
"And that, in order to facilitate the return of the full compliment of teaching staff, should therefore be stood down with immediate effect."
The current principal, Claire White, said in a statement she would continue to "work towards a mutual resolution".
In her statement, De La Salle principal Claire White said she wanted "to take this opportunity to reassure parents that we continue to remain focused on the education provision and emotional wellbeing of all our students".
"I understand that this is a pivotal time for many of our students, especially those who will shortly be sitting exams."
Some pupils' parents met the Children's Commissioner, Koulla Yiasouma, on Wednesday evening.
Speaking ahead of the meeting, the commissioner said she was "deeply concerned about the ongoing situation at De La Salle school, and the adverse impact this is having on pupils' education and on their mental health and wellbeing".
"For many of the pupils this is already a very stressful pre-exam period; to add additional pressure is simply not acceptable and obviously not in their best interests," she added.

Reports said the man was trying to rescue the woman, who had jumped on to the track near Chartham station.
British Transport Police (BTP) said emergency services were called just before 10.55 BST.
The man, in his 70s, died from his injuries. The woman, in her 30s, was treated before being taken to hospital.
She remains in a serious but stable condition.
The incident is not being treated as suspicious.
Police said both families had been informed and a report was being prepared for the coroner.
The train involved was the 10:22 BST Ramsgate to Charing Cross service, which was not due to stop at Chartham.
The 29-year-old already has Premier League experience, having played at West Brom during the 2013-14 campaign while on a season-long loan.

He said: "When completed the new road will improve the operation of the road network around Inverness both for those travelling long distances and those making local journeys and at the same time improve safety for motorised and non-motorised users of the route.
"This scheme is being taken forward as part of the Inverness and Highland City-Region Deal and we are working closely with our colleagues in Highland Council to ensure that our scheme fits with their development plan for the area east of the A9."
The options are being exhibited at Inverness's Inshes Church until 19:00 on Tuesday and at Smithton Church from midday to 19:00 on Wednesday.

Write a brief summary of the provided content. | If the champions were a surprise package, the collapse of previous holders Chelsea also sent shockwaves throughout the season, along with managers on the move, a parochial relegation fight between north-east of England rivals Newcastle United and Sunderland and a top-four battle that went down to the final day.
So as the dust settles on another Premier League season, how will this turbulent, exciting campaign be remembered?
Leicester City went from celebrating Premier League survival and 5,000/1 outsiders in May 2015 to champions inside 12 months - when the story of football is told this season will be forever associated with the Foxes.
The signs, at least some of them, were in evidence in that renaissance as they won seven of their final nine games last season but to suggest the transformation would lead to them being presented with the Premier League trophy at an exultant King Power on Saturday, 7 May 2016 would have been dismissed as the work of a fantasist.
Leicester provided the footballers of the year in England striker Jamie Vardy and Algeria forward Riyad Mahrez, with 24 and 17 goals respectively, while France midfielder N'Golo Kante was not far behind. The trio are a tribute to the meticulous scouting model employed at the club.
Vardy cost just £1m from Fleetwood in May 2012, Mahrez £400,000 from French second-tier side Le Havre in January 2014 and Kante £5.6m from Caen in August 2015. That is just £7m for the inspiration behind a Premier League title, with credit to former manager Nigel Pearson for those first two deals.
And at the heart of all was the man who arrived at Leicester to replace the sacked Pearson. Claudio Ranieri's appointment was, at best, unheralded and followed a spell when he was dismissed by Greece after losing to the Faroe Islands.
Against all odds - like the Foxes - the Italian led his team in masterly fashion from the 4-2 opening day win against Sunderland, managing expectation and pressure superbly while winning the hearts and support of neutrals with his humble, yet charismatic style.
Leicester's title win - a prolonged shock to sport's system - takes its place in the greatest sporting achievements of all time.
Five clubs had their highest ever finish in the Premier League:
It was 7 May 2015 and all was well at Stamford Bridge. Manager Jose Mourinho had brought the Premier League back to Chelsea, signed a new four-year contract and spoke of building a team for a 10-year dynasty.
In one of the most startling, chaotic declines of any champion team and manager, Chelsea's fortunes collapsed to such an extent that seven months later Mourinho was sacked by owner Roman Abramovich after just four wins from 16 league games.
From day one and the row with Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro against Swansea City, when she went out on to treat injured Eden Hazard without his permission, and was subsequently removed from first-team duties which led to legal action, Mourinho's Chelsea tenure went into meltdown.
Players he counted on when winning the Premier League such as Hazard, Diego Costa - who scored 20 league goals in the title win - and Cesc Fabregas were ineffective and anonymous.
The end came amid the rancour of a 2-1 loss at Leicester City on 15 December, after which Mourinho claimed some players had "betrayed" his work. Two days later he was gone - a spectacular downfall complete.
Blackburn Rovers dropped from first to seventh after winning the title in 1994-95 - and Manchester United did the same after being crowned champions in 2012-13. Chelsea's drop was even more acute and demonstrated their fall from grace.
Leicester City's feat will be regarded as the greatest in Premier League history - and it has been helped along the way by the giants stumbling at the wayside.
Chelsea's downfall has been chronicled while Manchester City's hopes of regaining the title they won twice in recent years was undermined by rampant inconsistency, a lack of performances worthy of an expensively assembled squad and, perhaps, the announcement in February that manager Manuel Pellegrini would be replaced by Pep Guardiola that provided the backdrop to the closing months of their season.
Manchester United's league season was dull under manager Louis van Gaal, with only the occasional sparkle of victories at Liverpool and Manchester City. They were so poor for so long it was a minor miracle they sustained a top-four challenge until the final day.
Arsenal told us the same old story of promise until the turn of the year then fragility when the pressure is on. This was, in many ways, the season Arsene Wenger and his players had waited for as their usual rivals stuttered - and they still could not take advantage.
This was a season awash with managerial speculation - most of which ended up being about a man who actually lasted the season in Manchester United's Van Gaal.
The Dutchman was the central figure in some sort of "in-out-in-out" managerial hokey cokey from December as United went out of the Champions League, with Mourinho almost a permanent shadow on his shoulder after he was sacked by Chelsea before Christmas.
Other than Mourinho, the highest profile casualty was Liverpool's Brendan Rodgers who lasted only eight games - with three wins - into the new season before he was sacked and replaced by Jurgen Klopp. It was a swift downfall only 18 months after he almost won Liverpool's first title in 24 years.
Aston Villa's shameful season was reflected in two sackings. Tim Sherwood went in October after one win and eight losses in 10 games, while his successor Remi Garde fared no better. He was sacked at the end of March after just two wins in 20 games and with relegation inevitable.
Sunderland's replacement of Dick Advocaat with Sam Allardyce in October worked perfectly as he kept the Black Cats in the top flight, while Swansea's eventual replacement of Garry Monk with Francesco Guidolin - after a spell under Alan Curtis - was also a success.
Not so at Newcastle. They left it too late to sack Steve McClaren on 11 March. It only gave Rafael Benitez 10 games - so the relegation the Magpies have invited so long came through the door.
Last one out the door was Everton's Roberto Martinez on 12 May, his fall from grace coming amid fan anger, protests and the worst record at Goodison Park in any season in the club's history.
The Premier League season may be over - the postponed meeting between Manchester United and Bournemouth apart - but the big guns will already be turning their attention to firing back next season.
Manchester City's season ended in a disappointing fourth position but Guardiola, the world's most celebrated coach, will soon come through the door at Etihad Stadium to replace Pellegrini and will be backed by huge transfer funds.
He is the man City's hierarchy want to fulfil their dreams, especially in the Champions League, while it remains to be seen whether there will be similar movement at Manchester United.
Van Gaal's future has been debated for most of the season without any indication of a willingness from those inside Old Trafford to remove him from his job as manager.
Mourinho has seemingly been waiting in the wings for six months - so will the failure to secure Champions League football finally prompt a decision to dispense with Van Gaal or will United keep faith with the 64-year-old Dutchman who has taken them to next weekend's FA Cup final?
The prospect of former La Liga foes Guardiola and Mourinho recreating their crackling rivalry at Barcelona and Real Madrid in the same city is mouth-watering.
Klopp, meanwhile, will have his feet even further under the table at Liverpool after reaching the Capital One Cup final and the Europa League final after succeeding Rodgers in October.

Chelsea will want Antonio Conte to recreate their former successes, while Everton will move with renewed ambition under new billionaire major shareholder Farhad Moshiri. He will pursue ambitious managerial targets after sacking Martinez.

What is the summary of the following article? | The manager has been physically and emotionally drained by events at the club, including the departure of long-standing administration and ground staff.
McCoist was also assured that no employees at Murray Park would be affected, only for some to later be told that they would be losing their jobs.
He will now work his 12-month notice period, unless the board decide to settle his contract or put him on gardening leave.
The BBC has learned that the decision has been playing on McCoist's mind for several weeks. He has grown increasingly concerned at events at the club, with several staff being made redundant in recent weeks.
The accounts revealed an £8m loss for the financial year to the end of June 2014 and the directors outlined that at least £8m will be required in fresh funding from January to keep the business going for another 12 months.
Derek Llambias, the former Newcastle United managing director and long-time ally of Mike Ashley, has been playing a prominent role at Ibrox ever since the Magpies and Sports Direct owner provided the club with £3m in loans.
Ashley holds a stake of around 9% in Rangers International Football Club and Llambias has since been appointed to the board as a non-executive director.
Yet, when Ashley took his initial shareholding in RIFC, he agreed an undertaking with the Scottish Football Association that he would not hold more than 10% and would not have influence on the board. McCoist has revealed that discussions in recent weeks on possible transfer activity in January were held with Llambias.
Llambias, along with Sports Direct's Barry Leach, have been assessing the financial and staffing arrangements at Ibrox in recent weeks and been prominent around the stadium as staff were made redundant.
The staff who lost their jobs were not high earners - among them were the long-standing secretary to the manager and a groundsman - and McCoist came to feel that he should hand in his own notice.
He is also aware that some board members have long wanted him replaced and McCoist wanted to take the initiative himself rather than wait for others to eventually decide his fate.
If the board keep him in place, McCoist is comfortable with the challenge of trying to gain promotion and remains confident he can guide the team to that ambition
"He's had enough of seeing decent, honest people with Rangers in their heart losing their jobs," a source told the BBC.
"The club has been haemorrhaging money and these people losing their jobs won't make a significant difference to that.
"This is not him walking away. He has just handed in his notice. He needs some time out to recharge his batteries, but he will continue to help Rangers and Rangers supporters as much as he can.
"If someone with Rangers in his heart feels he has to take this step then he hopes others who have been in and around events at the club in recent years will do the same.
"I can't think of any other manager who has had to put up with administration, liquidation, Whyte, Green and everything else that has gone on at Rangers."
McCoist has been drained by events behind the scenes at Rangers but remains emotionally committed to the club. He is also a shareholder in Rangers International Football Club.

What is the summary of the following article? | As their victim was driven out to the woods, her young son left behind at home, she was sure she was going to die.
Accompanied by Akhtar Dogar and Assad Hussain, two of the men found guilty at Oxford Crown Court earlier of a series of sexual assaults and rape, the woman, known as Girl A, was shown a spot in the ground.
Dogar threatened to break her neck if she went to the police, claiming the spot in question was the grave of a previous victim.
Prosecutors described this shocking moment as part of the "orchestration of fear" she was subjected to over a number of years by Hussain, Dogar, and his brother Anjum Dogar.
Girl A was first befriended by the gang on the streets of Oxford and offered drink and drugs. She had been in care since she was a toddler, and had become addicted from an early age.
She was 15 when the men started abusing her in 1999. She was driven to an address in Jackdaw Lane four or five times a week, and, in her words, "used like a piece of meat".
At the age of 16, she moved to Windmill House in Headington, a staffed hostel for young homeless people, where the abuse continued for five months.
She left Oxford and had a son before returning in 2005, to live in a flat in Thomas Mews. The men found her and she fell back into their world of drugs and sex parties.
Hussain and the Dogar brothers were already serving prison sentences for abusing girls when they were arrested again as part of Operation Sabaton.
They were jailed in 2013 as part of Operation Bullfinch, a previous inquiry into a child sex abuse ring in Oxford.
Speaking after they were jailed, their victim said: "I would urge any person who is struggling or feeling trapped by any form of abuse to come forward.
"I am growing in confidence each day that passes. My future now holds hope, which is something that I was unable to see before speaking out about my past.
"In coming forward I have regained control of my life."
Det Ch Insp Mark Glover from Thames Valley Police said he had no doubt that some of the abuse, in parks and car parks, would have been seen by members of the public but the police had no records of any crimes being reported.
He said none of the men had expressed any remorse or regret for the grooming and abuse.
He added that crimes of child sexual exploitation (CSE) were not confined to any one ethnic group.
A subsequent serious case review found as many as 373 children may have been abused by Oxfordshire gangs since 1999. Police have said the latest court case is unlikely to be the last.
The 33-year-old replaces Mark Pettini, with compatriot Mark Cosgrove remaining skipper for Championship fixtures.
"Mark Pettini will be freed up from all that comes with the job," head coach Pierre de Bruyn said. "He will continue to be a vital part of the squad."
McKay took 71 wickets for Leicestershire in 2016, including 56 in Championship Division Two.

Give a brief summary of the content. | Firefighters said it looked like the fires at Hopewell Square on Monday night may have been caused by burning embers carried through the air by wind.
Investigations are continuing. Traditional 'eleventh night' bonfires had been lit across Northern Ireland.
The fire service said out of the 123 calls it had received on Monday from 18:00 BST, 42 were bonfire related.
Firefighters had to intervene at 16 of those fires.
A man who lives in one of the houses said his daughter was asleep upstairs in the property when he heard "crackling sounds".
"I heard what sounded like rustling up the stairs," he added. "So I went up into the attic to see what was happening and I saw the smoke."
He said he woke his daughter and then ran next door to help his neighbour.
"The house is destroyed. My bedroom ceiling is bulging like it's about to come in, it's not safe to be in."
Lily Turtle, an elderly woman, and her great-granddaughter lived in the house where the fire started.
A young pregnant woman was among those who lived in another house that was smoke damaged in the blaze.
A woman from Hopewell Square whose house was not damaged in the fire said she had left her home to stay with her sister.
"It was like a volcano erupting," she said. "The sky was red, it was completely red.
"Your life's more important than your possessions.
"I was so angry. When things settled, I thought; 'If my house goes, my possessions, all my kids' and grandkids' stuff, goes with it.'
"It's more upsetting to think that you've worked hard and this happens - it should never have happened.
"It was horrendous - it was like what you see in a movie. The red in the sky, it was horrible."
Alan Walmsley of the Northern Ireland Fire and Rescue Service said crews were at the incident in Hopewell Square "very quickly" and that their "hard work" had prevented a row of terraced houses being destroyed.
He said that the fire service did not believe it was caused by radiated heat from the fire but possibly by burning debris.
"We believe there could have been the potential for hot, burning embers being carried by wind landing on the roof and then making their way down and falling into the roof," he added.
Nathan Gray was watching the bonfire at Hopewell Square and described the scene as "crazy".
"It kicked off about one o'clock in the morning, everyone was watching the bonfire, and the next thing a lot of smoke was coming from the roofs beside it," he said.
"The roofs started smouldering and one of them caved in at about five-past-one.
"People were starting to get moved from their houses - a man climbed through his living room window to get out, it was crazy.
"When we left at about a quarter-to-two it looked like the incident was under control.
"Two firemen climbed up the houses and put ladders to the side to get a better angle to get the hoses out to fight the fire."
Bonfires are traditionally lit in many loyalist areas of Northern Ireland on the 'eleventh night' - the eve of the Twelfth of July.
The fires mark William of Orange's victory over King James II at the Battle of the Boyne in 1690 and supporters say they are an important part of their culture.
The fire service said it had attended bonfire related incidents in Portadown in County Armagh, Ballyhalbert, Bangor, Banbridge and Rathfriland in County Down, Dungannon in County Tyrone and Coleraine, Londonderry and Limavady in County Londonderry.

While condemning Russian "atrocities", he said civilians had also been killed by the US-led coalition's bombings.
One Labour MP said the comments were "unworthy of the party".
The row came as Russia reacted angrily to Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson's call for protests outside its UK embassy.
In a Commons debate on Tuesday, Mr Johnson said the evidence pointed to Russia being behind a fatal attack on an aid convoy in Aleppo and called for the International Criminal Court to investigate this and other possible war crimes.
He questioned why the Stop The War coalition - of which Mr Corbyn is a long-time supporter - and other anti-war groups were not making their feelings known outside the Russian embassy in London, saying Russia risked becoming an international pariah if it continued with its military campaign in support of President Assad.
Responding to Mr Johnson's comments, a Labour spokesman said talks aimed at securing a lasting ceasefire and political settlement in Syria were preferable to demonstrations.
Asked whether Mr Corbyn backed demonstrations against Russia, he added: "Obviously, people are entitled and at complete liberty to demonstrate outside not only the Russian embassy, but all the other embassies of those intervening powers.
"People are free to protest outside the intervening powers' embassies and there are a number of them - not just the US and Russia.
"There are multiple foreign interventions in the Syrian civil war and we've emphasised that there needs to be an end to that and those powers need to be part of a negotiated settlement, which is the only way to stop the conflict."
Asked whether he was suggesting a moral equivalence between US and UK actions against so-called Islamic State and Moscow's support for the Assad regime, the spokesman said he was not "in the business of allocating blame".
But he added: "The focus on Russian atrocities or Syrian army atrocities - which is absolutely correct - sometimes diverts attention from other atrocities that are taking place.
"Independent assessments are that there have been very large-scale civilian casualties as a result of the US-led coalition bombing.
"There are several cases of large numbers of civilian deaths in single attacks, and there hasn't been so much attention on those atrocities or those casualties."
Mr Corbyn, he added, had opposed Russian intervention in the five-year conflict from the start - as he had the UK's extension of bombing raids from Iraq to Syria last year.
"The intervention of foreign powers in the conflict has no doubt escalated and fuelled it throughout," he added.
Downing Street dismissed any comparison between Russian bombing and UK military operations in Syria, saying its strategy was based on minimising civilian casualties.
"We are working towards peace, towards finding a solution and towards alleviating the humanitarian suffering of the Syrian people," a No 10 spokeswoman said.
"I think very clearly by the fact we were sponsoring a UN Security Council resolution that calls for the end of the bombardment of the people of Aleppo and Russia vetoed that resolution, that's quite a contrast in positions."
Labour MP John Woodcock, a long-term critic of Mr Corbyn, rejected suggestions that the US was as culpable as Russia for attacks on Syrian civilians and the virtual destruction of Aleppo, once the country's largest city.
"This absurdity seems like a deliberate provocation, unworthy of our leader and our party," he said.
And Brendan Cox, whose wife, Labour MP Jo Cox, was co-chair of the Parliamentary Friends of Syria before she was killed in June, said the comment was "absolutely disgraceful". | The US should be as much a target for protests against the violence in Syria as Russia, a spokesman for Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has suggested. |
Summarize the following content briefly. | They were recognised for their "non-violent struggle for the safety of women and for women's rights to full participation in peace-building work".
Mrs Sirleaf is Africa's first female elected head of state, Ms Gbowee is a Liberian peace activist and Ms Karman is a leading figure in Yemen's pro-democracy movement.
"We cannot achieve democracy and lasting peace in the world unless women achieve the same opportunities as men to influence developments at all levels of society," said Nobel Committee chairman Thorbjorn Jagland in Oslo.
Reading from the prize citation, he said the committee hoped the prize would "help to bring an end to the suppression of women that still occurs in many countries, and to realise the great potential for democracy and peace that women can represent".
German Chancellor Angela Merkel - deemed by Forbes the world's most powerful woman - called the award a "wise decision".
But Mrs Sirleaf's main rival in polls this coming Tuesday, Winston Tubman, told the BBC she did not deserve the prize and was a "warmonger".
Mrs Karman heard of her win from protest camp Change Square in the capital Sanaa, where she has been living for several months calling for President Ali Abdullah Saleh to stand down.
She was recognised for playing a leading part in the struggle for women's rights in Yemen's pro-democracy protests "in the most trying circumstances" and is the first Arab woman to win the prize.
As the head of Yemeni organisation Women Journalists without Chains, Mrs Karman has been jailed several times.
Mrs Karman told BBC Arabic she was dedicating it to "all the martyrs and wounded of the Arab Spring" - the wave of unrest which has swept the Middle East and North Africa in the past year - and to "all the free people who are fighting for their rights".
Mr Jagland said the oppression of women was "the most important issue" in the Arab world and that awarding the prize to Ms Karman was "giving the signal that if it [the Arab Spring] is to succeed with efforts to make democracy, it has to include women".
Mrs Sirleaf, 72, who had been widely tipped as a winner, said the award was "for all Liberian people" and a recognition of "many years of struggle for justice".
She was elected in 2005, following the end of Liberia's bloody and ruinous 14-year civil war.
Upon coming to office, the US-educated economist and former finance minister - known as Liberia's "Iron Lady" - pledged to fight corruption and bring "motherly sensitivity and emotion to the presidency".

Mrs Sirleaf is standing in Tuesday's election, having previously said she would only hold the presidency for one term.
Her rival Mr Tubman denounced the award, saying she had "brought war here".
She had initially backed the rebels of Charles Taylor - currently on trial for war crimes in The Hague.
Although she has apologised, Liberia's Truth and Reconciliation Commission recommended that she be barred from holding public office for 30 years.
"I did more to stop the war than she did because she was for continuing the war," Mr Tubman said.
"Now that the war has stopped she wants to continue on top of the country as though she is some liberator. She is not."
He told AFP news agency the timing of the award was "provocative".
But Archbishop Desmond Tutu and U2 singer Bono welcomed Mrs Sirleaf's honouring, with Mr Tutu telling AFP: "Woo hoo. She deserves it many times over. She's brought stability to a place that was going to hell."
Her compatriot Ms Gbowee was a leading critic of the violence during the Liberian civil war, mobilising women across ethnic and religious lines in peace activism and encouraging them to participate in elections.
In 2003 she led a march through the capital, Monrovia, demanding an end to the rape of women by soldiers.
The Nobel Committee said she had "worked to enhance the influence of women in West Africa during and after war".
Ms Gbowee told the BBC's Focus on Africa programme: "I am confused. I am humbled. This is the first time in the 39 years of my life that I am out of words.

"This is a victory for women rights everywhere in the world. What could be better then three women winning the prize?
"This is the recognition that we hear you, we see you, we acknowledge you."
The women will share the $1.5m (£1m) prize money.
The BBC's world affairs correspondent Mike Wooldridge says that the Nobel Peace Prize originally recognised those who had already achieved peace, but that its scope has broadened in recent years to encourage those working towards peace and acknowledge work in progress.
The Nobel committee received a record 241 nominations for this year's prize - among the individuals and groups believed to have been put forward were the European Union, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg and key cyber dissidents in the Arab Spring movement. | This year's Nobel Peace Prize has been awarded jointly to three women - Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, Liberian Leymah Gbowee and Tawakul Karman of Yemen. |
Give a brief overview of this passage. | At the start of a critical political week, Theresa May finds herself under pressure for refusing to answer it.
Did she, or did she not know that something had gone wrong with our nuclear weapons, when she asked MPs to vote to renew the costly Trident system?
She wasn't in charge when the alleged misfire of the Trident missiles system took place - reportedly aiming off at Florida, rather than at its target. But as the prime minister now, when the mistake has come to light, she needs to look in charge of the facts.
Governments often use "security reasons" as a way, sometimes legitimately and sometimes more out of convenience, to avoid answering questions they don't want to. On Sunday, Mrs May didn't use that reasoning, instead repeating again and again an obviously prepared answer about the Commons vote to approve Trident shortly after she took over.
Plainly, she was not answering the very straightforward question from Andrew Marr. The obvious implication was that she did indeed know, but for political reasons, was simply not willing to admit it.
But overnight the government seems to have decided now to resort to that answer. Business Secretary Greg Clark has been using that "security" defence as a way of avoiding the issue.
But it's tricky because the government does indeed talk about weapons testing, even sending out press releases, and publicly awarding trophies to military teams when the tests go well.
When, as it appears they don't and the results are kept secret, the "security" excuse sounds less convincing.
So the simple "who knew" question will keep being asked. And for as long as the opposition parties keep pushing for clearer responses, ministers will keep looking like they are awkwardly, even shiftily trying to evade a straight question.
The irony is that it's unlikely that information about the misfire would have sunk the government in the vote to renew Trident in the summer. The majority was secure.
There would have been more debate about whether the weapons work, but it's unlikely the vote would actually have been lost. But the refusal now to answer questions over the mistake gives even more succour to the government's opponents.
And the refusal to say "who knew" allows those suspicious of ministers' motives to wonder what else we don't know.
Kaufhof, currently owned by Metro, owns 120 stores across Germany.
Hudson's Bay (HBC), based in Toronto, bought high-end retailer Saks Fifth Avenue in 2013 for $2.14bn (£1.38bn).
The deal would give Hudson's Bay more than 450 stores across four countries. HBC's Richard Baker said it been hoping to expand in Europe for some time.
Mr Baker said: "We have been carefully surveying the European retail landscape for many years for a potential expansion opportunity and have watched Kaufhof build on its exceptional real estate to become the #1 department store in Germany."
Retail experts say the deal could be tricky. "It's difficult for any foreigner to penetrate any developed market," Thomas Roeb, retail consultant, says. "Whenever you look, entering a mature retail market is always a risky venture."
Mr Roeb also points out that department stores have been in steady decline since the early 1980s.

What is the summary of the following document? | The show began with a short video message from President Obama, who said: "Thank you, Prince, for all the great works you have done.
"You will be in our hearts forever."
Singer Morris Day, one of Prince's childhood friends, later took to the stage with his band The Time, playing hits such as Jungle Love - which Prince wrote for the band under a pseudonym.
Khan brought Wonder on stage to duet on I Feel for You, a track from Prince's debut album, which Khan covered in 1984.
Wonder recreated the harmonica solo he had played on that single, before the duo performed 1999 - one of the night's highlights.
Other performers on the bill included Tori Kelly and Prince's backing bands The NPG and 3rd Eye Girl.
X Factor judge Nicole Scherzinger joined the latter for a cover of Nasty Girl, a hit single for Prince protegees Vanity 6 in 1982.
She said it was an "honour" to celebrate the star.
Singer Christina Aguilera pulled out of the show at the last minute, citing a "vocal illness" - despite fans hearing her rehearse I Wanna Be Your Lover during the day.
She was replaced by British star Jessie J, who performed Nothing Compares 2 U.
John Mayer, who would have recreated some of Prince's pyrotechnic guitar solos, also pulled out, as the concert apparently clashed with recording obligations with his band. Soul star Anita Baker was a no-show due to injury.
That left a lot of the heavy lifting to Prince's lesser-known protegees and associates. Former backing singer Marva King got the crowd on their feet for Kiss, while singer-songwriter Judith Hill performed a playful piano rendition of How Come You Don't Call Me Anymore.
Hill, who recorded an album with Prince last year, also turned in one of the night's more sombre moments, playing the religious ballad The Cross, from Sign O The Times, which features the lyric: "Don't die without knowing the cross".
"I know that Prince is alive and well and he is happy right now," Hill told the 18,000-strong audience at the XCel Energy Arena in Minnesota's capital Saint Paul.
Prince's ex-wife, choreographer Mayte Garcia, recreated an segment of the star's 1993 Act I tour, in which she performed an elegant belly-dance with a sword balanced on her head, before segueing into the song 7.
The show concluded after midnight, with Stevie Wonder playing an extended version of his funk classic Superstition, after he giving a heartfelt speech about how he would "miss Prince forever".
Purple confetti fell from the ceiling as the band played Purple Rain, accompanied by Prince's pre-recorded vocals.
The star's younger sister, Tyka Nelson, described the concert as a public memorial for Prince fans.
"I want them to get some closure," she said. "It takes time to kind of get over it, and I see that they are grief-stricken."
She said there would "definitely" be future concerts.
Remembered for such hits as Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret and Alphabet Street, Prince blended elements of jazz, funk, R&B, disco and rock in a prolific career that produced more than 30 albums.
Video testimonials said the star anonymously spent a great deal of his fortune on charity, despite his image as a recluse.
Van Jones, a former adviser to President Obama, said fans would be stunned to know the number of projects secretly funded by the musician, who had turned to him for logistical help.
"I don't think Prince wanted to save the world. I think what Prince wanted to do is make sure that people's gifts... had a chance to sing," he said in a video.
The singer died of an overdose of the painkiller fentanyl in April, leaving a vast trove of unreleased music, but no will.
Courts in the US are trying to decide how to divide up his estate, with several potential heirs coming forward in the months after his death.
It was reported on Thursday that his "vault" of unreleased recordings was being shopped around record labels with a price tag of up to $35m.
However, Londell L McMillan, Prince's longtime lawyer, manager and friend, who was appointed to oversee his estate, has denied the story - which originally appeared in Billboard magazine, and was reported by the BBC, amongst others.
"Please don't believe that absurd article on the vault," he wrote on Twitter. "There are so many false rumours."
The BBC contacted McMillan for further comment, but he has yet to respond.

Can you provide a brief summary of the following information? | Sussex Police investigated a number of complaints about two effigies of the outgoing first minister that were unveiled at the Lewes' annual event.
Both effigies were withdrawn from the celebrations after protests on social media but one was later blown up.
The force said it had been advised that "no criminal offence had occurred".
One of the effigies showed Mr Salmond complete with a "Yes" badge, a sign saying "45%" and the Loch Ness monster looking over his shoulder.
The other depicted the Scottish first minister wearing a kilt and sitting on a barrel of North Sea oil.
Photographs later emerged which showed the second effigy, created by the Commercial Square Bonfire Society, being blown up in a firework display.
In a statement, Sussex Police said they had "presented the complaints to the Crown Prosecution Service and it has been identified that no criminal offence occurred".
"Effigies have long been a tradition at the annual event, with high-profile politicians and celebrities who have recently been in the news being featured in bonfire society processions," they continued.
"The event organisers have made it clear that there was no intention to cause insult to anyone or any particular country by the choice of effigy: simply that the person chosen has been a popular media figure in the preceding 12 months."
At the time, the Waterloo Bonfire Society, which produced the effigy of Mr Salmond and the Loch Ness Monster, said it had a "tradition of creating satirical" caricatures and "no wish or intention to offend".
Mr Salmond questioned the judgement of those behind the effigies, but said he was more concerned about Nessie being burnt than the fate of any portrayal of himself.
The Waterloo and Commercial Square bonfire societies parade through the town every year with four other societies every year.
An effigy of David Cameron holding a "puppet Nick Clegg" was burned in Lewes in 2010. Other effigies in previous years have included Osama Bin Laden.
The event is said to be one of the largest bonfire celebrations in the UK, with 45,000 people attending.

BBC Newsline's Mark Simpson reports.
Kevin Manley was awarded £3,750 after a judge ruled operators of the privately-owned Parc Prison in Bridgend failed to restore power in a reasonable time.
Now a High Court judge has dismissed an appeal by owner G4S.
Manley, who has mobility problems after a hip replacement, tripped and banged his head on a cupboard while the light was out, the court heard.
G4S disputed the claim it had breached a duty to ensure he was "reasonably safe" in his cell.
Judge Neil Bidder first heard the case at Cardiff County Court last year.
He concluded power should have been restored in 20 minutes at most - but heard Manley's cell had been in darkness for nearly twice that on 4 January 2013.
He ruled G4S's breach of a duty of care caused Manley an injury.
Mr Justice Lewis analysed the case at a High Court hearing in Cardiff in July and dismissed G4S's appeal in a written ruling published on Friday.

Can you summarize the following paragraph? | The bird may have honked, quacked or whistled, like a duck or goose.
Investigation of the oldest-known fossil of a bird's vocal organ - the syrinx - gives clues to how birdsong evolved.
The bird, Vegavis iaai, lived in what is now Antarctica about 66-68 million years ago. It belongs to the group that includes ducks, geese and swans.
Julia Clarke of the University of Texas at Austin said there had been virtually no work on the origin or early evolution of the unique way in which birds produce sound.
"While we've looked a lot at the evolution of the wing in birds," she said, "we have done very little with looking at the origin of what is perhaps one of the most striking characteristics of living birds - their songs."
Prof Clarke and her team scanned the fossil specimen using micro-CT, an X-ray scanning technique similar to hospital CT scans but on a smaller scale.
They made a 3D representation of the syrinx and then used another type of imaging that provides information on soft tissues to make comparisons with younger fossils and 12 living birds.
This allowed them to reconstruct the evolution of the tiny bony organ.
"We definitely think this voicebox is capable of honks or whistles," said Prof Clarke.
"But if we want to understand more precisely the frequency range or the variety of sounds, we'll have to build models and get more data from living ducks to constrain what might be the range of sounds produced by this structure."
Researchers think the syrinx may have arisen late in birds' evolution, well after the origin of flight.
No evidence for the syrinx had been found in non-avian dinosaurs.
The syrinx may be a relatively late arrival along the bird lineage, and in turn may have played a significant role in the diversification of birds, said Prof Patrick O'Connor of Ohio University.
"Their amazing diversity may in part be related to the evolution of the syrinx and any areas of the brain related to sound production and reception in the context of social interactions more generally," he explained.
Earlier this year, Prof Clarke's team deduced that some non-bird dinosaurs might have made a deep booming noise, giving a fuller picture of the sound landscape when dinosaurs roamed the planet.
"Larger-bodied animals like most non-bird dinosaurs are big and they're going to exhibit lower frequency sounds overall," she told BBC News.
"But then when we get the origin of flight and the origin of these smaller-bodied dinosaurs, including birds, then we think we're going to get open-mouthed sounds that are maybe a little bit jarring - quacks and honks and crows."
The oldest fossilised remains of a syrinx are described in a study published online in the journal, Nature.
The fossil was originally found by an expedition of scientists from the Argentine Antarctic Programme.

Can you provide a brief summary for this document? | Caerphilly MP Wayne David said the Norway model, favoured by First Minister Carwyn Jones, would lead to a "massive loss of sovereignty".
He said the Labour party needed to have a debate on its Brexit position.
Mr Jones' spokesman said single market access was key to protecting jobs.
Norway is not in the European Union but it still has access to the single market.
It has to make a financial contribution and must accept the majority of EU laws but it does not have a say on how they are created.
First Minister Carwyn Jones visited Norway in January to learn about its EU links and said the example demonstrated the UK did not have to give up access to the single market when it leaves the European Union.
Speaking on Monday, he said: "We would not control the rules but we would have full and unfettered access."
Mr David said although the first minister was right to focus on the importance of the single market - with many Welsh jobs dependent on it - the Norway model was a step too far.
"The big problem with simply adopting the Norwegian model is that we accept the laws which are made in the European Union, which we will be outside, without having any say on those laws as they affect the single market," he said.
"That is a big pill for people to swallow.
"It is very difficult for people to accept that for the first time in our history a large measure of our legislation will be made by other people and yet we will be having to conduct all our business relationships under those laws."
Mr David said the the UK could look at how elements of the Norway Model could work in part, rather embracing it "hook, line and sinker".
A spokesman for the first minister said: "We have consistently argued that protecting jobs and our economy should be the focus of Brexit negotiations.
"The most effective way of doing this is through securing full and unfettered access to the single market and remaining in the customs union as we set out in our Brexit white paper.
"Membership of the EEA is one option for maintaining full and unfettered access, as Norway do, though it is not the only model."
Labour's shadow international trade secretary Barry Gardiner has already said the Norway model would prevent the UK from achieving the reasons why people voted to leave the EU.
Officers were called to a flat in Nettleton Road on 13 January and found two men with stab wounds.
The 30-year-old and 47-year-old were taken to hospital. The 30-year-old died on Monday evening, police said.
Anthony Keith Poole, 51, of Melbourne Street East in the city, has been charged with wounding with intent and remanded in police custody.

Write a short summary of the following excerpt. | Gale has given up the club captaincy and ended his playing career at the age of 32 in order to take up the role.
He succeeds Jason Gillespie, who left at the end of the summer after leading Yorkshire to the County Championship title in 2014 and 2015.
Dewsbury-born Gale, who has agreed a three-year contract, has spent his entire career at Headingley, captaining the side for the past seven years.
"It feels a bit surreal really. A couple of weeks ago I was planning on coming back for pre-season but once I was offered the job it just felt right," he told BBC Radio Leeds.
"Last season didn't go to plan for me and I lost a lot of enjoyment for the game and that was one of the key factors that made me accept this. I don't think it works when people try to play and coach. I don't think I would have done either job justice.
"I know the group inside out, so hopefully it will be a smooth transition."
Former Australia fast bowler Gillespie, 41, stood down in September after five seasons in charge for "family reasons".
Yorkshire finished third in this year's Championship, after losing to new champions Middlesex on the final day of the season.
Gale made his Yorkshire debut in 2004 and scored 8,217 first-class runs at an average of 36.03, including 20 centuries.
Under Gale's captaincy, Yorkshire won promotion to Division One in 2012 - Gillespie's first summer in charge - were runners-up in 2013 and champions the following two seasons.
He gave up the limited-overs captaincy for 2016 and they were beaten in the T20 Blast and One-Day Cup semi-finals under Alex Lees, who will be a candidate to lead the team in all three formats.
Yorkshire director of cricket Martyn Moxon confirmed the club received 16 applications for the coach's job, but said Gale was an "obvious choice".
He continued: "In the short-term, we need someone who can manage the first XI which is, in Championship cricket, a pretty senior group.
"I think it's important that we keep that continuity within the group and protect the environment that we've created, one that has been so successful for us.
"The long-term vision is to ensure that we have someone who can oversee the natural transition that will occur as the senior players retire and the younger players take over in their places." | Yorkshire have appointed Andrew Gale as their new first-team coach. |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | A death certificate has been issued 42 years after the peer vanished when his children's nanny Sandra Rivett was bludgeoned to death in London.
He was declared dead in 1999, despite dozens of unverified sightings, but the new ruling gives his son the right to inherit the family title.
His son, Lord Bingham, said: "I am very happy with the judgment of the court in this matter."
More on this story and other news from London
Speaking outside the court, he added: "It has been a very long time coming."
Ms Rivett's son, 49-year-old Neil Berriman said: "I think [Lucan is] dead. It is fantastic and I am very pleased for [Bingham]."
Lucan disappeared the night Ms Rivett was murdered at 46 Lower Belgrave St, Belgravia, on 7 November, 1974.
He drove to a friend's house in East Sussex in a borrowed car, which was later found abandoned in Newhaven with bloodstains inside.
The mystery of his whereabouts excited decades of speculation.
Lady Lucan said at the time of the killing that her husband admitted committing the crime, although he said it was a mistake. It has been reported that she believes Lucan jumped to his death from a ferry leaving Newhaven.
The first reported sightings of Lucan occurred soon after the murder. In January 1975 he was supposedly spotted in Melbourne, Australia, and five months later he was apparently spotted in France.
Police in Cape Town went so far as to check fingerprints on a beer glass, reputedly held by the peer.
In 2012, Lucan's brother Hugh Bingham said he was "sure" the missing peer fled to Africa following the nanny's murder. But he then said he was unsure if his sibling was alive or dead.
The author of one book claimed an intruder murdered the nanny and attacked Lady Lucan. In another book, a former senior Scotland Yard detective said that Lucan fled to Goa where he lived a hippy lifestyle as Barry Halpin until his death in 1996.
Other "sightings" of Lucan located him in an ex-Nazi colony in Paraguay, a sheep station in the Australian outback, backpacking on Mount Etna and working as a waiter in San Francisco.
Today a new Lord Lucan left the High Court.
George Bingham had won his fight to have a death certificate issued for his father allowing him to use the family name. He now becomes Lord Lucan in addition to the eighth Earl of Lucan.
He had always said this legal process had been about gaining "closure." Speaking outside the High Court he accepted that some would view the title Lord Lucan as a tainted title but it was his family name and he wanted the right to use it.
Next to him in court sat Neil Berriman, the son of Sandra Rivett, the nanny brutally killed in the Lucan family home in November 1974. The pair have struck up a friendship based on their shared history.
Although Neil Berriman did not object to today's legal ruling, he said he still feels strongly that his mother is the forgotten victim who is still awaiting justice.
Outside the court, George Bingham - now the 8th Earl - said: "I've heard the most bizarre range of theories, some of them reasonably tasteless.
"My own personal view, and it was one I took as an eight-year-old boy, is that he has unfortunately been dead since that time.
"In the circumstances I would think it possible that he saw his life at an end, regardless of guilt or otherwise, being dragged through the courts and the media would have destroyed his personal life, his career and the chances of getting the custody of his children back. And that may well have pushed a man to end his own life, but I have no idea."

Provide a concise overview of the following information. | David Higgs was spared prison, which was the fate of his boss.
Higgs pleaded guilty in 2012 to a conspiracy charge, was ordered to forfeit $900,000 (£530,000) to the government and pay a $50,000 fine by a judge in New York.
It is one of the few US criminal prosecutions stemming from the financial crisis.
Another trader with the bank, Salmaan Siddiqui, also pleaded guilty in 2012 and is due to be sentenced this month.
Higgs provided "extremely substantial assistance" after agreeing to co-operate with prosecutors.
Higgs's former boss Kareem Serageldin entered his own guilty plea in April 2013 and was sentenced in November to two and a half years in prison.
Prosecutors said that Higgs's co-operation helped build a case against Serageldin and may have encouraged Siddiqui to plead guilty.
They also credited Higgs, a UK national, for his "extraordinary decision" to voluntarily travel to the US to plead guilty.
Prosecutors accused the three men of mispricing bonds secured against the value of mortgages between August 2007 and February 2008, as housing and credit markets were in decline.
Prosecutors said at Serageldin's sentencing that his book was overstated by $100m.
Credit Suisse was not charged and co-operated with investigators.
Sarah Papachristophorou, 47, from Four Oaks, Sutton Coldfield, admitted three drug-related offences and a theft charge at Birmingham Crown Court.
She said she had taken £1,000 from the man while supplying him with three Class C drugs over two years.
She was granted unconditional bail ahead of sentencing on 24 August.
A police inquiry into Papachristophorou revealed she gave zopiclone, tramadol and diazepam to the man.
Adjourning the case for probation service reports, Judge Patrick Thomas QC said a trial of issue may be needed to decide whether up to £4,000 was taken from the theft victim.
A spokesman for the University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust said Papachristophorou no longer worked for the trust, having been dismissed from Queen Elizabeth Hospital on 10 May.
East Midlands Trains said services were delayed between Luton and Bedford from about 10:30 GMT due to the injured bird near Flitwick station.
A spokesman said the swan was removed just before 11:00 GMT. The RSPCA said it had to be put down.
Trains on the line run between London St Pancras and Bedford and on to Nottingham and Derby. Thameslink services were also affected.
Trains were expected to return to normal before midday.
An RSPCA spokesman said the swan was put to sleep by a vet. It was not known if it was injured by a train.
"The bird's leg had been totally shattered and the vet considered it the most humane thing to do to prevent further suffering," he said.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | The declaration by Governor Jerry Brown also means farmers will receive aid and more firefighters will be employed.
Mr Brown faced pressure to declare the drought as the state's largest reservoirs are at record low levels.
The dry conditions have been blamed for a wildfire that destroyed five homes north-east of Los Angeles on Thursday.
In a press conference on Friday, Mr Brown called on residents to cut back "at least 20%" on their water usage but said the move was voluntary.
"We can't make it rain, but we can be much better prepared for the terrible consequences that California's drought now threatens," Mr Brown said in a statement.
He added the declaration was a way to focus Californians on how serious the drought conditions were.
"We are in a unprecedented, very serious situation that people should pause and reflect on how dependent we are on the rain, nature and each other," he said on CNN.
Previous extremely dry years led to catastrophic wildfire seasons in California in 2003 and 2007.
"People say that the fire season is starting early, but I guess you could say it never ended," Tom Scott, a natural resources specialist with the University of California told the Associated Press news agency.
"If you live in the backcountry, come July you probably should be thinking about putting your valuables in storage."

Please provide a summary for the content below. | The Championship club have their 10th league game of the season screened on Monday, when they host Middlesbrough.
Leeds deny reports that they want to end the collective deal but oppose the "control" Sky have to move matches and want "transparency" over the contract.
"Today's article seeks to position Leeds as a lone, isolated voice. This is far from the truth," said Leeds executive director Paul Bell.
The Football League's present contract with Sky is worth £100m-a-year.
Bell attended a meeting of Football League clubs on Thursday, where he said "clubs could discuss matters together, privately and confidentially".
He added that it was "disappointing to read inaccurate press reports quoting 'sources' from within the meeting".
Leeds say they are in favour of collective bargaining and a statement released by the club highlighted the benefits of such contracts.
They also said it was their duty to "protect the long-term interests of the club" without mentioning exactly what they did say at the meeting.
Sources have told the BBC that Leeds do want to negotiate an individual TV contract.
Leeds are known to be unhappy at the number of times they have been selected for live TV coverage this season.
The Football League took out an injunction to force Leeds to play Middlesbrough at Elland Road on Monday.
That game was moved at less than four weeks' notice, although the Football League previously said this was due to a legal challenge by Leeds.
United have also had their game at Brighton moved from Saturday, 27 to Monday, 29 February for the same reason. That will be their 11th live TV game in the league this season.
Leeds chairman Massimo Cellino initially refused Sky entry for their home game against Derby on 29 December, although the club eventually allowed the broadcaster access.
"The club has made it clear to both Sky and the League that it opposes the degree of control exercised by Sky over the league fixture list, and seeks transparency as to how these rights have been sold," added Bell.

Write a brief summary of the document. | The outpouring of revulsion at what Mr Trump said in that now infamous videotape shows how much attitudes towards women have changed.
As women have assumed more influence in the workforce, there's more discussion about what is OK and what is not - and more now falls into the "not OK" pile.
Is the gender playing field level? Of course it's not, but it's clear that what was acceptable in, say, the 1990s, is no longer acceptable today.
Sexual harassment should be zero. It's not, but progress is being made, thanks in part to what Mr Trump condemns as the tyranny of political correctness.
There's a plausible case to be made that Bill Clinton wouldn't be able to get elected today with his past sexual history. The repeated allegations of assault, harassment and even rape would surely have been more of a political liability in 2016.
President Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky was consensual. There's no video tape of him denigrating women in general or suggesting he could do anything he wanted to women because he was commander-in-chief.
But there was definitely something unsavoury about a very powerful man having sexual relations with an intern, especially given Mr Clinton's widely reported past.
It all smacked of droit de seigneur.
Many women were appalled at the time, but the Lewinsky affair didn't actually hurt Mr Clinton's poll numbers.
In early 1998, when the scandal broke, his approval ratings were 50%. At the end of that year, they had risen to 70%.
Research by the University of Iowa suggests the affair didn't undermine the public's overall opinion of Bill Clinton's character.
Donald Trump compares himself to Bill Clinton but he's missing the point. Women have more of a voice today and we expect more from the men we work with. Our tolerance for what Mr Trump dismisses as "locker room" banter is wearing thin.
We are mothers, sisters and wives. We are also chief executives, astronauts, generals, prime ministers, chancellors and editors, Why should we have to put up with men talking about us like that, anywhere, even in the privacy of their "locker rooms"?
We know the stats on rape and harassment are still far too high. Somewhere between one in three and one in five women are victims of unwanted sexual advances.
Just look around your office or your school or your family and do the maths. It's not pretty.
But social media is giving women a louder voice.
Take a moment to look at the twitter feed of Kelly Oxford, the Canadian writer who asked women to share their stories of harassment after the video emerged. It's sobering reading.
Thousands of women have tweeted their experiences and at the time of writing this, they still are. A veil is finally being lifted on what was once a taboo subject.
What's heartening is that the overwhelming majority of men seem to be as appalled as women at what Mr Trump has unleashed. | Call me Pollyanna but I'm starting to see a silver lining in "Pussygate". |
Give a concise summary of the passage below. | Murray was found guilty earlier this month after a six-week trial.
Judge Michael Pastor told the court that while Murray was legally eligible for probation, he did not think his actions showed he was suitable.
He said the evidence in the case showed a "continuous pattern of lies and deceit" by the disgraced physician.
The legal teams will return in January 2012 to discuss the prosecution's request for Murray to pay restitution to Jackson's family.
While the prosecution successfully argued for the maximum term, Murray's lawyers asked that he be kept on probation, saying he is serving "a lifetime sentence of self-punishment".
Defence lawyer Ed Chernoff said he would already be punished for life by being known as "the man who killed Michael Jackson".
In addition, Murray could still lose his licence to practise medicine.
As the sentencing hearing began, lawyer Brian Panish, a family friend of the Jackson family, read a statement on their behalf.
Expressing their sense of loss for their "son, husband, brother and father", the statement said the court should impose a suitable sentence.
"We respectfully request that you impose a sentence that demonstrates that physicians cannot sell their services to the highest bidder and lose sight of their Hippocratic Oath," Mr Panish read.
In a sentencing memorandum delivered to Judge Michael Pastor in advance of Tuesday's hearing, prosecuting lawyer David Walgren said Murray had shown no remorse for Jackson's death.
Defence lawyers argued that Murray had done a huge service to the community throughout his life, including donating supplies to Caribbean doctors and opening a clinic in the poorest area of Houston, Texas.
"I do wonder though to what extent the court considers the entirety of a man's book of life, as opposed to one chapter," Mr Chernoff said, adding that Murray could better serve the community on probation.
Michael Jackson died on 25 June 2009 from an overdose of the powerful anaesthetic propofol.
He had been out of the public eye for several years but was preparing for a series of comeback performances at the O2 arena in London.
The defence argued that Jackson was a drug addict who caused his own death by giving himself an extra dose of propofol while the cardiologist was out of the room at the star's rented mansion in Los Angeles.
However, lawyers for Murray dropped a key argument midway through the trial - that the pop superstar had drunk the propofol. But they continued to argue that Jackson had somehow dosed himself otherwise.
There is no law against administering propofol, but the prosecution's case rested on the argument that Murray was grossly negligent by doing so outside a hospital setting and without the proper monitoring equipment.
Calling for a four-year prison sentence, Mr Walgren said Conrad Murray had abused the trust placed in him by his patient.
"It is the people's position that prison is warranted."
Gareth Jones, 36, from Morfa Nefyn, was found dead on board his scallop dredger off Porthdinllaen on the Llyn peninsula on 30 March 2014.
The report found the winch was in a "dangerously poor condition".
His vessel was not fitted with safety devices required by UK legislation.
Mr Jones became entangled on the warping drum - used to handle chain and rope - of the winch as he attempted to recover his dredge gear, the report found.
It also said it was unsafe for Mr Jones to operate the vessel as a scallop dredger single-handedly.
The report by the Marine Accident Investigation Branch (MAIB) concluded: "The poor material state of Ronan Orla indicated that financial constraints rather than a lack of safety awareness prevented him from employing a crewman and maintaining his vessel properly." | Conrad Murray, the US doctor convicted of the involuntary manslaughter of pop superstar Michael Jackson, has been sentenced to four years in county jail.

Shaw, of Selwyn Road, Bilston, has been a "prominent figure in hooligan circles for almost 30 years," West Midlands Police said.
The order bans Shaw from attending matches for five years.
Wolves supporter Shaw has been banned from its home ground Molineux since 2010 and must also stay outside a five-mile exclusion zone at stadiums involving the club for three hours before and after kick-off.
West Midlands Police said it applied for the civil injunction after amassing a "huge backlog of evidence" detailing his involvement in football violence and association with "risk" supporters.
Ch Insp Nick Rowe said: "Shaw is a familiar face at fixtures at home and abroad and tends to be at the centre of disorder, inciting rival fans, threatening violence, and getting involved in mass brawls.
"He has been the number one target for us for some time but in recent years has become almost a godfather figure, organising and instigating violence and then slipping away while his minions throw the punches, hurl the missiles or damage property."

A statement on their website said, "After extensive tests the seriousness of his condition became apparent," adding doctors had "prescribed rest".
The band apologised to fans and said Daltrey was "on the mend".
They said they had hoped The Who Hits 50! tour would go ahead, as Daltrey was "getting better" and they did not want to inconvenience ticket holders, but the dates are now being rescheduled for Spring 2016.
"It wasn't a decision taken lightly," said the band. "The Who always give their fans 100% and were never going to compromise the show, but ultimately the band had no alternative but to postpone the tour."
They said Daltrey had been especially disappointed to miss the Teen Cancer America benefit in Los Angeles, a charity he and the band "have worked tirelessly for".
"We are very sorry to disappoint our fans in this way," said Daltrey, who headlined Glastonbury and British Summertime in Hyde Park earlier this year.
"For the last four weeks, I have been in and out of the hospital and have been diagnosed with viral Meningitis," he revealed.
"I am now on the mend and feeling a lot better but I am going to need a considerable time to recover. The doctors tell me I will make a complete recovery, but that I should not do any touring this year."

What is the summary of the provided article? | A team of six deaf artists and two hearing interpreters are performing at the semi-finals and the Grand Final.
Austrian broadcaster ORF said it was inspired by the victory of Conchita Wurst last year to make the contest even more inclusive.
"Eurovision is European - so let's make it for the deaf community too," said ORF's Eva-Maria Hinterwirth.
"It is always said music is a language that is understood by everyone, so we thought, let's make it reality and bring music closer to deaf people."
The project is all about storytelling, she told the BBC. "The interpreters don't translate the lyrics, they tell stories and convey the emotions behind the songs."
Delil Yilmaz, a sign language interpreter who can hear, explained his team's approach to the UK's entry, Still in Love with You, by Electro Velvet.
"It's a very energetic song about a man and a woman who are in love. In these three minutes they are proving their love."
"The first twenty seconds of the UK song is only instrumental music, so you can't sign piano or violin.
"This is information that is not really necessary for someone who has never heard a tone in their life. You just have to put the emotions behind those instruments into a story," he said.
"When I turn to the right, I act like a man, very macho with a beard and when I turn to the left side, I am the woman with make-up and perfume. "
Kathrin Zechner, the managing director of ORF TV, said the deaf performers were not there to steal the show.
"They are supporting and interpreting for the artist and the viewers. They are stars but they are not ego-centric; they're spreading the emotion."
Alice Hu, one of the deaf performers, said one of the hardest things was learning how to move in time to the beat.
"You can imagine, I can't hear and I have to feel the rhythm. Delil, the only hearing one, really helped me and told me to move a bit more or less. We worked a lot and had so much fun."
Nine countries, Austria, Denmark, Germany, Finland, Latvia, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and Slovenia are broadcasting the International Sign Language performances, which will also be live-streamed on eurovision.tv and ORF.

Can you summarize the following content in brief? | The authorities said a court was expected to decide on the issue soon.
A defiant Mr Aboutrika said he would stay in Egypt to work for prosperity.
Mr Aboutrika publicly endorsed the successful 2012 presidential bid by Mohamed Morsi, a Brotherhood member. Mr Morsi was ousted by the army in 2013.
An ensuing crackdown on Mr Morsi, Egypt's first freely-elected leader, and Brotherhood members has left hundreds of people dead and thousands in jail.
The Egyptian authorities said they had seized Mr Aboutrika's assets - including his shares - in a number of companies.
In response, the 36-year-old former midfielder tweeted: "Confiscate the money or confiscate the money's owner, I will not leave the country, and I will continue to work for its prosperity."
If an investigation proves that he has been funding the Muslim Brotherhood the whole case will go to court, the BBC's Inas Mazhar reports.
Our correspondent says Mr Aboutrika may even be detained temporarily while the investigation continues.
She adds that Egyptians are split on the issue, with the footballer's numerous fans supporting him and others siding with the authorities.
Mr Aboutrika - a star of Cairo's al-Ahly club and the national team - retired in 2013.
During his career he was four times named as Africa's best player of the year.
Far Gosford Street is described by the council as "one of the city's most important historic streets".
In April, £1m of Heritage Lottery funding was given towards a programme of restoring shop fronts.
The street has 14 Grade-II listed buildings, including a number with medieval timber frames.
The project is organised by a partnership between Coventry City Council and Complex Development Projects (CDP).
Chris Patrick, the council's conservation and archaeology officer, said the first phase of the scheme in 2012, which cost £2.7m, had seen the repair of two timber-framed buildings and a 19th Century weaver, among other projects.
The council hopes that by restoring the rest of the street, they will be able to turn it into a "bohemian quarter for the city".
Mr Patrick said: "Many of these historic buildings look a bit sad. We want to rescue them from a world of fried chicken and general grot."
He added the final phase would start in early 2014.
Councillor Lynnette Kelly said: "Far Gosford Street is one of Coventry's gems, a great survivor from the past.
"The regeneration that has taken place over the last few years has reversed decades of decline. But it remains a job half-done and this funding allows us to complete the job, tackling buildings that missed out in the first phase." | The Egyptian authorities have seized assets of former national football star Mohamed Aboutrika, amid allegations that he helped fund banned Islamist movement the Muslim Brotherhood.

Union officials said trains from Eastbourne to London were axed though train crews were available for them to run.
But, Southern said it had "no choice" but to reduce the number of trains.
One worker sent a message to a colleague that said: "Southern have cancelled all London trains and Brighton trains, yet the crews are in the mess room."
Mick Cash, general secretary of the RMT union, which is also in dispute with the rail operator, said: "It is total chaos on Southern rail again this morning with the company misleading the public and mismanaging their staff resources.
"This is not the first time this has happened and it lays bare the complete and utter shambles on the Southern contract."

Please summarize the following text. | The 29-year-old agreed the deal after leaving Hearts as part of their restructuring under Ann Budge.
"In January I knew Partick were interested in me so they've showed a lot of loyalty to come back in for me," said Stevenson.
"When I sat back with my family and looked at the options I had in front of me, Partick ticked all the boxes."
Former Ipswich, Ayr and St Johnstone player Stevenson scored eight goals last term as Hearts were relegated from the Scottish Premiership.
He is manager Alan Archibald's first summer signing and his contract has an option for a third year.
"It's a great fan-base and they are lively as well. It's somewhere I think I'm going to enjoy playing my football
"In January I had to be loyal to Hearts, it's a great club that I have a great connection with, and always will have," Stevenson added.
"At that stage I was never going to walk away from it, and part of me was a bit worried Partick wouldn't come back for me.
"But I'm looking forward to getting started now, to getting in and meeting the boys, getting away to pre-season and then getting back into the football.
"I looked at where I enjoyed coming and playing, and outside probably Parkhead, I enjoyed playing here as much as anywhere.
"It's a great fan-base and they are lively as well. It's somewhere I think I'm going to enjoy playing my football.
"And when I spoke to a couple of players who had played here, who had nothing but good things to say about the club as a whole, it became an easy decision."
Thistle recently saw out-of-contract full-back Aaron Taylor-Sinclair join Wigan Athletic, but the Maryhill men have extended the deals of Gary Fraser, Stuart Bannigan, Paul Gallacher, Ryan Scully, and Kris Doolan.
And Archibald, who was delighted to sign someone of Stevenson's experience, is hopeful of bringing in more new players.
"We've got a few targets but all the clubs are after the same players and it's a fight to get them," said the manager.
"We still need a few players in and we're working at it all the time.

Give a brief overview of this passage. | Adam Hird, 30, from Epping, died from asphyxia at the entrance of the No.65 bar in Vauxhall in south London on 15 June 2014.
Mark Pantallaresco, 51, Sebastiano Ragusa, 31, and Lewis Thorne, 22, were all cleared of manslaughter by gross negligence at the Old Bailey.
The three doormen had all denied the charges against them.
Mr Pantallaresco, from Tadworth, Surrey, Mr Ragusa, from Lewisham, south London, and Mr Thorne, from Wickford, Essex, were accused of pinning Mr Hird down for "an extremely dangerous" amount of time.
Prosecutor Duncan Atkinson QC told jurors the men had only released Mr Hird after he realised he was unconscious.
Mr Hird had battled with depression for many years and had been at a social event for fellow patients at the nearby Riverside restaurant.
The 30-year-old was taken to hospital after he passed out but he later died.
The accident happened at about 11:55 on Tuesday at the east junction with the B794 Dalbeattie to Corsock road.
A 48-year-old Springholm man driving a red Nissan van and a 70-year-old man from Dalbeattie in a red VW Tiguan car were taken to Dumfries Infirmary.

All three vehicles were damaged in the crash.
PC Callum Kingstree said: "We are keen to hear from anyone who may have witnessed this crash and would ask that they call us at Castle Douglas on the 101 number.
"The road was blocked for over two hours to allow for the injured to be removed to hospital and the vehicles to be taken away."
Air France would not confirm the number of cuts, but said it would present a cost-cutting plan on Monday.
Profits at the airline have been hit in part by strikes by pilots, who have been protesting over the expansion of its budget subsidiary.
It also faces stiff competition from low-cost rivals as well as airlines in the Middle East.
Air France said after a board meeting that it had decided to implement a new restructuring plan in order to accelerate its recovery.
"Facing the impossibility of reaching an agreement to implement the productivity measures within Air France and restore long-term profitability, the board members consider it essential to introduce an alternative plan and have unanimously agreed to mandate Air France-KLM and Air France Management to carry this out," the company said in a statement.
The plan will be presented to the Works Council on Monday.
