The truth about obesity: 10 shocking things you need to know
Sarah Boseley
1. Nearly two-thirds of the UK population is either overweight or obese
2. Obesity is shortening our lives
3. Obesity could bankrupt the NHS
4. It's an unfair fight
5. Obesity took off in the have-it-all 80s
6. Snacking is "a newly created behaviour"
7. The food industry is behaving as the tobacco industry did
8. Your brain, not your stomach, tells you when to stop eating
9. By the age of five, it is almost too late to intervene
10. Obese children are increasingly being taken into care
Content: more than a fifth of five-year-olds and a third of 11-year-olds are overweight or obese. " Obesity is such that this generation of children could be the first in the history of the United States to live less healthful and shorter lives than their parents," said Dr David S Ludwig, director of the obesity programme at the Children's Hospital Boston and one of the authors of a paper that, in 2005, came to similar conclusions in the New England Journal of Medicine . The proportion of overweight children in the US and the UK is similar. 3. Obesity could bankrupt the NHS
The NHS spends £5bn a year on diseases such as strokes and diabetes that are linked to obesity. Within a few decades, that is predicted to climb to £15bn. Type 2 diabetes is a huge problem: 10% of the NHS budget already goes on that alone. Being overweight is the chief cause and the numbers are soaring, from 1.4 million in 1996 to more than three million today, with a predicted rise to five million by 2025. A study this month revealed that one-third of the population is on the verge of type 2 diabetes, having high blood glucose levels classified as prediabetes.

" If this increase in prediabetes and diabetes isn't tackled now, it will destroy the health service," said Barbara Young, chief executive of Diabetes UK. " Many of the problems the secretary of state is trying to tackle, such as too many people coming in as emergencies to hospitals, are about the one in six people in any hospital at any time who've got diabetes. So it's a massive impact on the NHS and it's going to get even bigger." Type 2 diabetes is costly in every sense – apart from complications such as blindness and amputation, it makes you five times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke. The food industry encourages us to buy fattening foods. | https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/jun/23/truth-about-obesity-10-shocking-things-need-to-know |

Content: The cost of moving mortal remains depends, for instance, on body weight, location of death and transport. To move a body from the US to Kenya, for instance, is estimated to cost between $6,000 and $10,000. There is no international tariff for fees levied by funeral directors across different countries. Paperwork requirements, medical costs, mortuary charges and embalming (or autopsy, if needed) fees will vary hugely. Apart from cross-border considerations, there is the expense of the burial or cremation itself in the country of final rest. On average you can expect to pay around $6,500 for an all-in burial in the UK and $4,000 for a cremation, according to funeral directors Rowland Brothers International. Australia and the United States cost more. ' In Australia this works out about one-third more expensive than England and for the US, it's half again more costly,' explains Roland. ' The price of interment in Spain is about double that of England.' Be warned, though, that burial is not necessarily a one-off expense. | https://www.theguardian.com/money/2007/nov/28/expat-finance-health |

In Spain, of the two types of burial – earth and over-ground niche (a type of stacking scheme) – the widely practiced niche burial is only for a finite number of years. Individual cemetery bylaws determine the duration of a niche contract. They typically run for five, 10 or 15 years. Once a contract expires and if a new one has not been agreed, the coffin will be placed in a communal grave. Rowland says: ' | https://www.theguardian.com/money/2007/nov/28/expat-finance-health |

Young and older people 'experience age discrimination at work'
DWP research shows perceptions towards those aged over 70 are more positive than towards those in their 20s, unless they are in senior roles
Graham Snowdon
Content: However, this varied by as much as 20 years in relation to the age of the respondent: the age at which youth stopped and old age started increased in relation to the age of the respondent. Denise Keating, chief executive of the Employers Network for Equality and Inclusion, said the findings showed that more needed to be done to prevent age discrimination at work. "We have seen a very high instance of age-related unfairness, particularly when people are selected for a new job or promotion only if their 'face fits', which unfortunately means some people feel that talent isn't enough to overcome such prejudices," Keating said. "While many companies have solid diversity policies, this may not run throughout the company, which is an issue that needs to be addressed. It is important that employers do all they can to ensure this does not lead to discrimination or favouritism of any kind, which could cause the exclusion of talented individuals from the workplace." Just over a third of respondents said they had seen some age-related prejudice in the past year. Experiences of age discrimination were more common for younger groups, with under-25s at least twice as likely to have experienced it than other age groups. In general terms, people in their 40s were viewed as having the highest status, while on average people aged over 70 were given a higher status than those in their 20s. Keating urged employers to renew their commitment to building age-diverse workplaces. " | https://www.theguardian.com/money/2012/jan/16/young-older-people-age-discrimination-work |

" We work with many companies who removed the mandatory retirement age a long time ago and have all reaped the benefits of employing a multi-age workforce," she said. "They know that variation in the workforce brings fresh ideas and perspectives from which companies will always benefit. Ultimately, forward-looking employers know that age diverse workforces are effective, productive and motivated." Topics

Giles Coren declares war on Amazon Prime over free trial
Patrick Collinson
Content: I've heard. — Giles Coren (@gilescoren) February 15, 2015
He joins many others who in recent years have complained that they have unknowingly clicked into Amazon Prime, some finding out only years later that money had been taken from their debit or credit card annually for the subscription payment. Prime gives users free delivery on anything bought on Amazon, as well as a Netflix-style instant video service. When shoppers reach the “buy now” page, they are offered “free one-day delivery”, which takes them into a pop-up page where, by clicking again, they agree to a free 30 day trial, which if not cancelled turns into a £79 a year subscription, with the money debited automatically every year. Coren only discovered he had been an Amazon Prime member since 2012 after seeing a story in the Sunday Times – and promised to retweet other people who, like him, felt they had been trapped into paying. Come on people, check your @Amazon accounts. If you're being secretly fucked by 'Prime' let me know. It's a class action waiting to happen. — Giles Coren (@gilescoren) February 15, 2015

The Maccabees have announced they are to split. In a statement from the indie group, the band explain “there have not been fallings out and we are grateful to say that we are not leaving the group behind as a divided force”. Stating its members would continue to make music, and that there would be farewell celebration shows, the Maccabees describe the decision as “incredibly difficult”. “We are very proud to be able to go out on our own terms, at our creative peak and off the back of the best and biggest shows we have ever done. It has been a rare and absolutely incredible time that we all feel very lucky to have shared.” | https://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/aug/08/the-maccabees-after-14-years-call-it-a-day-split |

Now for the problem: relativity and quantum mechanics are fundamentally different theories that have different formulations. It is not just a matter of scientific terminology; it is a clash of genuinely incompatible descriptions of reality. The conflict between the two halves of physics has been brewing for more than a century – sparked by a pair of 1905 papers by Einstein, one outlining relativity and the other introducing the quantum – but recently it has entered an intriguing, unpredictable new phase. Two notable physicists have staked out extreme positions in their camps, conducting experiments that could finally settle which approach is paramount. Basically you can think of the division between the relativity and quantum systems as “smooth” versus “chunky”. In general relativity, events are continuous and deterministic, meaning that every cause matches up to a specific, local effect. | https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/nov/04/relativity-quantum-mechanics-universe-physicists |

When you try to interpret smooth relativistic laws in a chunky quantum style, or vice versa, things go dreadfully wrong. Relativity gives nonsensical answers when you try to scale it down to quantum size, eventually descending to infinite values in its description of gravity. Likewise, quantum mechanics runs into serious trouble when you blow it up to cosmic dimensions. Quantum fields carry a certain amount of energy, even in seemingly empty space, and the amount of energy gets bigger as the fields get bigger. According to Einstein, energy and mass are equivalent (that’s the message of E=mc 2 ), so piling up energy is exactly like piling up mass. Go big enough, and the amount of energy in the quantum fields becomes so great that it creates a black hole that causes the universe to fold in on itself. | https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/nov/04/relativity-quantum-mechanics-universe-physicists |

Content: To understand what is at stake, look back at the precedents. When Einstein unveiled general relativity, he not only superseded Isaac Newton’s theory of gravity; he also unleashed a new way of looking at physics that led to the modern conception of the Big Bang and black holes, not to mention atomic bombs and the time adjustments essential to your phone’s GPS. Likewise, quantum mechanics did much more than reformulate James Clerk Maxwell’s textbook equations of electricity, magnetism and light. It provided the conceptual tools for the Large Hadron Collider, solar cells, all of modern microelectronics. What emerges from the dust-up could be nothing less than a third revolution in modern physics, with staggering implications. It could tell us where the laws of nature came from, and whether the cosmos is built on uncertainty or whether it is fundamentally deterministic, with every event linked definitively to a cause.

Hogan, champion of the quantum view, is what you might call a lamp-post physicist: rather than groping about in the dark, he prefers to focus his efforts where the light is bright, because that’s where you are most likely to be able to see something interesting.

Hogan, champion of the quantum view, is what you might call a lamp-post physicist: rather than groping about in the dark, he prefers to focus his efforts where the light is bright, because that’s where you are most likely to be able to see something interesting. That’s the guiding principle behind his current research. The clash between relativity and quantum mechanics happens when you try to analyse what gravity is doing over extremely short distances, he notes, so he has decided to get a really good look at what is happening right there. “ I’m betting there’s an experiment we can do that might be able to see something about what’s going on, about that interface that we still don’t understand,” he says. A basic assumption in Einstein’s physics – an assumption going all the way back to Aristotle, really – is that space is continuous and infinitely divisible, so that any distance could be chopped up into even smaller distances. But Hogan questions whether that is really true. Just as a pixel is the smallest unit of an image on your screen and a photon is the smallest unit of light, he argues, so there might be an unbreakable smallest unit of distance: | https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/nov/04/relativity-quantum-mechanics-universe-physicists |

Content: a quantum of space. Chunky space does not neatly align with the ideas in string theory – or in any other proposed physics model
In Hogan’s scenario, it would be meaningless to ask how gravity behaves at distances smaller than a single chunk of space. There would be no way for gravity to function at the smallest scales because no such scale would exist. Or put another way, general relativity would be forced to make peace with quantum physics, because the space in which physicists measure the effects of relativity would itself be divided into unbreakable quantum units. The theatre of reality in which gravity acts would take place on a quantum stage. Hogan acknowledges that his concept sounds a bit odd, even to a lot of his colleagues on the quantum side of things. Since the late 1960s, a group of physicists and mathematicians have been developing a framework called string theory to help reconcile general relativity with quantum mechanics; over the years, it has evolved into the default mainstream theory, even as it has failed to deliver on much of its early promise. Like the chunky-space solution, string theory assumes a fundamental structure to space, but from there the two diverge. String theory posits that every object in the universe consists of vibrating strings of energy. | https://www.theguardian.com/news/2015/nov/04/relativity-quantum-mechanics-universe-physicists |

Private healthcare also regrouped after the wrong messages went public. As Andrew Lansley embarked on his radical reforms of the NHS, private hospitals and outsourcing firms were talking to investors about the "clear opportunities" to profit from the changes. After comments by Mark Britnell, the head of health at accountancy giants KPMG giants and a former adviser of David Cameron, hit the headlines in May 2011 – Britnell told an investors' conference that "the NHS will be shown no mercy and the best time to take advantage of this will be in the next couple of years" – the industry got a grip. Lobby group The NHS Partners Network moved quickly to get everyone back on-message and singing from "common hymn sheets", as its chief lobbyist David Worskett explained. The reforms were about the survival of the NHS in straitened times. Just nobody mention the bumper profits. 3. Engineer a following

Jeremy Corbyn will announce full renationalisation of the railways as his first major policy at the Labour conference in Brighton next week. He initially made the proposal in a policy document over the summer, suggesting that franchises could be brought back into public hands as they expire. Corbyn will put forward plans for this to be one of the first acts of any Labour government led by him in 2020, meaning a third of the railways would be in public hands by the end of his first parliament in 2025.

In the run-up to the election, former leader Ed Miliband stopped short of endorsing full renationalisation, saying that publicly owned enterprises could bid to take back contracts when franchises expired. In a sign he wants clearer policy than his predecessor, Corbyn told the Independent on Sunday: “ We know there is overwhelming support from the British people for a people’s railway, better and more efficient services, proper integration and fairer fares. On this issue, it won’t work to have a nearly-but-not-quite position. Labour will commit to a clear plan for a fully integrated railway in public ownership.” Corbyn is not likely to have any difficulty getting the proposal through party conference, which has voted for rail renationalisation many times. Nor is it likely to prove particularly problematic with his shadow cabinet, which has made it clear to him that it will not stomach Labour campaigning to leave the EU, withdrawing from Nato or scrapping Trident. | https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2015/sep/20/jeremy-corbyn-rail-nationalisation-policy-labour-conference |

Content: Resistance training is important for the elderly because it helps to maintain muscle mass. With the ageing population, one of the big concerns is people getting frail, says Timmons, who is studying weight training with elderly people. "At 60, you don't tend to die of frailty. If you keep going to 80 then you tend to have weak muscles and bones," he says. " If you fall, lose your balance, fracture – that's very much what drives poor quality of life and mortality." How much should you do? The government guidelines on exercise recommend two sessions a week, for instance lifting weights at the gym or merely carrying shopping bags. The subjects in his research spend time weight training at the gym like anyone else. " We take them to the gym three times a week and we do progressive weight training – multiple sets, 6-10 reps," Timmons says.

It's time members of co-ops got a say in how their money was spent in politics, says Dave Boyle
Content: As Labour grew, falling in with them made good political sense; the alliance cemented between the two parties in 1928 remains in place. That alliance is nominally between two sovereign parties, but it's perhaps more akin to the longstanding alliance between the Liberal and National parties in Australia. People in both will make much of the differences but, in reality, they are less important to people on the outside as the fact that the two are in lockstep. The Co-operative Party considers itself a sister to Labour, but one often gets the feeling that for a great many of the latter's members and MPs, co-operatives are regarded more as a once-vibrant but now doddery old aunt to be humoured; you'll hear lots of praise, but rarely get an invitation to an important family dinner. That's a feeling underlined by the record of 13 years of Labour government. It's clear that times were better for the co-operative movement under Labour than the previous 18 under the Conservatives, but that's a very low bar. Like much discussion of Labour's record across the board, a list of successes does little to assuage the heavy sense of disappointment at what could have been done. Some co-operative initiatives were promoted, such as Supporters Direct but, unlike government legislation to reform the charity and company sector, changes advantageous to the co-operative sector were legislated in piecemeal fashion, through the lottery of private members bills. | https://www.theguardian.com/social-enterprise-network/2013/jan/30/co-operative-party-moving-beyond-labour |

The co-operative movement never benefited from the symbolism (and weight) that formal government business brings, nor did it achieve a long-advocated actual legal entity called a co-operative, with legal rights and responsibilities that work for the realities of modern and future co-operatives (although the government did find time to create a new legal form for social enterprise – the community interest company). That's understandable, perhaps, because, instead of being the party of the co-operative movement, the Co-operative Party has always been a creature of the retail co-ops that created it. The party's several thousand members provide just 10% of its £1m income, and it exists at its current scale because of the money provided by the Co-operative Group, which contributed nearly £800,000 in the accounting year to 2011. The rest comes from the smaller retail societies, although some – most notably Southern, Lincolnshire and Heart of England – don't provide any.

By contrast, the UK retail movement's enlightened support of the wider sector via the Co-operative Group's Enterprise Hub (which has led to more than 1,000 new co-ops being created) is a very modern phenomenon; for much of the last 100 years, dismissive condescension or active hostility was a more common attitude to non-retail co-ops. Ultimately, the real issue isn't whether the link with Labour is effective for the movement, or even for the Co-operative Group, but whether it's the only way in which the co-operative movement can be politically active and effective.

It's an arrangement that has much in common with the way trade unions funded the Labour Party, until legislation required them to secure the direct consent of their members. Those members should be given something the co-operative movement has always placed at the heart of its promise – democratic control – by allowing members to choose where they wish to allocate their funds. Members could be provided with an assessment of how co-operative-friendly each party is, and whether its platform and operations are in keeping with the movement's traditions of respect and equality. At a stroke, all parties and other groups looking for support would have a reason to think about co-operative principles seriously and how they will seek to further them in the future. | https://www.theguardian.com/social-enterprise-network/2013/jan/30/co-operative-party-moving-beyond-labour |

The dawn of the new millennium on January 1 2000 brought the largest daily number of suicides on recent record in England and Wales, according to a report yesterday by the Office for National Statistics. While most of the nation was recovering from a night of celebration, 23 men and women reached the point of despair at which they took their lives - more than double the daily average over the past 10 years. The government's statisticians said the result was consistent with a "new beginning" theory, suggesting that more people became suicidal at the transition into a new time period. The phenomenon happens regularly, with a higher suicide rate at the start of the week. The average over the past 10 years was 12 suicides on Mondays, compared with a daily average of 10. The number fell day by day through the week to reach its lowest point, averaging 8.8 on Sundays. The ONS said: " Previous research has suggested that the 'Monday effect' for suicide has its foundations in the transition from weekend to the working week - that Monday-morning feeling." But they rejected the theory that despair might be linked to dislike of going back to work. The pattern of Monday suicides persisted across age groups, applying as much to over-75s who were probably not in employment. | https://www.theguardian.com/society/2005/aug/26/health.medicineandhealth1 |

But they rejected the theory that despair might be linked to dislike of going back to work. The pattern of Monday suicides persisted across age groups, applying as much to over-75s who were probably not in employment. Previous research showed suicide attempts were fewer before holidays and higher than expected after, regardless of the day of the week. "Our finding that the highest number of suicides recorded for any one day was New Year's Day 2000 (a Saturday) is consistent with this and with the theory that pattern in suicides ... is related to the effect of a new beginning," the statisticians said. The only day during the 10 years studied when there were no suicides was Friday, March 16 2001. Anita Brock, one of the authors of the report, said one implication of the findings could be that jails should make extra checks on depressed prisoners on a Monday, or the Samaritans could provide extra phone line help.

Content: The war in the so-called "producing" countries has ravaged Colombia, is currently tearing Mexico apart, and again threatens Afghanistan, Central America, Bolivia, Peru and Venezuela. In places such as west Africa, the war is creating "narco states" that have become effective puppets of the mafia cartels the war has spawned. The drugs themselves have wrought misery and havoc across the planet, and continue to do so. According to the United Nations, in an exhaustive report by a global commission on drugs published this summer, worldwide opiate consumption increased by 34.5% between in the two decades to 2009, and that of cocaine by 25%. The UN estimates the drug business to be the third biggest in the world after oil and arms, worth £198bn a year. The former head of its office on drugs and crime, Antonio Maria Costa, posits that the laundered profits of the narco-trafficking underworld by the "legitimate" financial sector is what kept the banks afloat for years before they finally crashed in 2008. But while Costa (and I, for what it's worth, after three years covering the Mexican drug war) advocates going after the money as the most urgent priority, most of the lexicon in the now burning debate about what to do in the wake of the drug war's manifest failure concerns decriminalisation, or even legalisation. There has been a campaign for the legalisation of drugs in the US ever since the first state ban on marijuana in 1915. Now President Barack Obama's drug tsar, Gil Kerlikowske, carefully describes America's own war on drugs as "unhelpful". Last month, former president Jimmy Carter wrote in the New York Times that "excessive punishment" has "destroyed the lives of millions of young people and their families"; | https://www.theguardian.com/society/2011/jul/24/war-on-drugs-40-years |

Nearly a quarter of British children under the age of five are overweight or obese, research has found. The study, which is being presented at the European congress on obesity in Prague this week, found that the UK has the second-highest proportion of overweight children out of the 28 countries that were able to provide data. With 23.1% of youngsters in the under-five age group classed as overweight or obese, the UK was second only to Ireland, which registered 27.5%. Britain was followed by Albania (22%), Georgia (20%), Bulgaria (19.8%) and Spain (18.4%). Kazahkstan had the lowest obesity rate (0.6%), while other low-prevalence nations included Czech Republic (5.5%) Belgium (7%) and Sweden (8%). Another study, also due to be presented at the congress, found that children as young as six are suffering dissatisfaction with their bodies. The research, carried out by Leeds Beckett university, found that children who were classed as overweight or obese on body mass index (BMI) growth charts had higher body shape dissatisfaction scores than children not classed as overweight. Girls also scored higher in this area than boys. | https://www.theguardian.com/society/2015/may/07/one-quarter-british-children-overweight-obese-study |

Older people: the demographic dynamo
Content: But what of older people in the workforce? The same demographic curve that is exciting marketeers requires a rethink by human resources managers too.

Despite a widespread expectation that this figure is set to increase, only a small minority of businesses are taking the issue of an ageing workforce seriously, says Christopher Brooks, policy adviser on employment and skills at Age UK. “ It makes sense from a business point of view that companies are using the skills and expertise that all ages bring to their workforce”, he says. Research backs up the benefits of a more age diverse workforce. Up to the age of 70, older workers are just as productive as their younger counterparts, a government report argues [PDF]. Mixed-aged teams, meanwhile, are shown to increase the relative productivity of older and younger workers alike [PDF]. | https://www.theguardian.com/sustainable-business/2015/apr/02/ageing-retirement-workforce-discrimination |

Mixed-aged teams, meanwhile, are shown to increase the relative productivity of older and younger workers alike [PDF]. Yet a recent labour market study by the private sector membership group Business in the Community (BITC) suggests companies are missing out on such benefits by failing to attract and retain older staff. Failure to implement age-sensitive policies such as flexible working and part-time contracts often forces older people out of the workforce, especially those trying to juggle ill-health and caring responsibilities. And once out, the hurdles to get back into work can be huge. “ There’s a minority group of people who can get stuck out of the labour market and find it impossible to ever work again, even though many of them would like to,” says Brooks.

L ike nearly all the Guardian's content, what you are about to read was – and this will hardly be a revelation – written using a computer connected to the internet. Obviously, this had no end of benefits, mostly pertaining to the relative ease of my research and the simplicity of contacting the people whose thoughts and opinions you are about to read. Modern communications technology is now so familiar as to seem utterly banal, but set against my clear memories of a time before it arrived, there is still something magical about, say, optimistically sending an email to a scientist in southern California, and then talking to him within an hour. But then there is the downside. The tool I use to write not only serves as my word processor and digital postbox, but can also double as – among other things – a radio, TV, news-wire portal and shop. Thus, as I put together the following 2,000-ish words, I was entertained in my more idle moments by no end of distractions. | https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2010/aug/20/internet-altering-your-mind |

He also fears that texting and instant messaging may already be dampening human creativity, because "we're not thinking outside the box, by ourselves – we're constantly vetting all our new ideas with our friends." He warns that multitasking – surely the internet's essential modus operandi – is "not an efficient way to do things: we make far more errors, and there's a tendency to do things faster, but sloppier." Of late, he has been working with big US corporations – Boeing is the latest example – on how they might get to grips with the effects of online saturation on their younger employees, and reacquaint them with the offline world. When I ask him how I might stop the internet's more malign effects on my own brain, he sounds slightly more optimistic than Carr: we have the capacity to pull ourselves back from the mental brink – though only if we know what's at stake.

The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, Tuesday January 9 2007
In the article below we reported that buying a season ticket for the three-minute journey from Ryde St Johns Road to Ryde Esplanade on the Isle of Wight automatically gives you a Gold Card, which entitles you to a third off most off-peak UK fares. It does, but only in most of southern England, covering the same area as the Network Railcard discount card. An accompanying panel headlined Six journeys, six tricks, stated that all direct trains to Newcastle stop at Peterborough. This information was confirmed three times by operators at National Rail Enquiries. Unfortunately, they were wrong; most, but not all, Newcastle-bound trains stop at Peterborough. You feel bitter and twisted as you squeeze into your train seat and swing down the stained beige table. That woman in the next row: she looks suspiciously smug. | https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/04/railtravel.cheaptickets |

This year UK fares have risen by an average of 4.3% - 1% above inflation - but many popular routes, long and short, have been hit by far higher rises. A standard open return from London to Plymouth went up 12.6% to £214. These increases come in a labyrinthine fare structure that is a legacy of the privatisation of British Rail. Franz Kafka could not conjure up a more complex tale than the way we have come to pay for our seat on a train. | https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/04/railtravel.cheaptickets |

One tip is to start your journey on the internet. There are bargain tickets if you book in advance. Martin Lewis's www.moneysavingexpert.com website has some good suggestions, including checking National Rail's online promotions index and, if you're taking certain Virgin and South West Train routes, looking at megatrain.com to see if you can pick up a £1 ticket. | https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/04/railtravel.cheaptickets |

Of course, there's nothing more frustrating than failing to get cheap offers if you have had the forethought to book in advance. According to public transport consultant Barry Doe, train companies are better than airlines in terms of the number of bargain seats. But, crucially, they are not obliged to provide cheap seats on every train. Look for a £10 single from Birmingham to London on a busy Friday train and you probably won't find one, even weeks in advance. It is difficult to know the best time to grab a cheap advance ticket, but train companies must set their timetables 12 weeks in advance and that is when cheap tickets are usually released, so searching exactly 12 weeks before your journey is one good tactic. | https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/04/railtravel.cheaptickets |

Most of us, however, can't or don't want to plan our trips 12 weeks ahead. Just 17% of journeys made are with advance purchase tickets, according to Doe; the other 83% are pricey walk-on fares. | https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/04/railtravel.cheaptickets |

Content: So if you buy a ticket from the capital to Edinburgh and travel only to Newcastle, you are fine as long as you are on the train. But once your journey is over, you could be stopped by an inspector at Newcastle and forced to pay the difference.) Less obvious are the regional discount cards. A Network Railcard costs £20 and gives 34% off journeys across a huge swath of south-eastern England, from London outwards to Hastings in the south, Exeter (via Waterloo only) in the south-west, Worcester in the west, Northampton in the north and King's Lynn and Harwich in the east. Anyone can buy the card, although on Mondays to Fridays you can only use it after 10am at most stations (earlier on some routes). There are similar, less extensive discount cards for parts of Scotland, the north-east and Cornwall and Devon (where a card costs £10), although with these you will have to prove that you live in the area. The most stylish and ridiculously brilliant fare-saving tactic, however, is this: do you travel around the country reasonably regularly after 10am but don't qualify for any discount cards? Wherever you live, march into your nearest station and demand a season ticket for the three-minute journey from Ryde St Johns Road to Ryde Esplanade on the Isle of Wight. This, the cheapest season ticket in the UK, will set you back £116. | https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2007/jan/04/railtravel.cheaptickets |

Content: Buying a season ticket automatically gives you a "Gold Card" - which entitles you to a third off almost all off-peak UK fares. You can also upgrade to first class for £5 return on most of your journeys if you want to give yourself a treat. Even if you are travelling in the south-east, where you could get a third off with a £20 Network Railcard, this trick is better if you make lots of journeys that cost less than £10. The Network Railcard only gives you a discount down to £10, but as a gold card user you can get 34% off any ticket, at any price. So if you travel from Kingston-upon-Thames to London Waterloo on a cheap day return at £5.70, you will pay £3.76 thanks to your Isle of Wight season ticket. Even if you only make that trip three days a week, you will save more than £300 in a year. Angry of Kingston writes ...

Content: Police in the United States are killing people at a rate that would result in 1,100 fatalities by the end of this year, according to a Guardian investigation, which recorded an average of three people killed per day during the first half of 2015. The Counted, a project working to reportand crowdsourcenames and a series of other data on every death caused by law enforcement in the US this year, found that 547 people had been killed by the end of June. In total, 478 of those people were shot and killed, while 31 died after being shocked by a Taser, 16 died after being struck by police vehicles, and 19 – including 25-year-old Freddie Grayin Baltimore – have died after altercations in police custody. When adjusted to accurately reflect the US population, the totals indicate that black people are being killed by police at more than twice the rate of white and Hispanic or Latino people. Black people killed by police were also significantly more likely to have been unarmed. Brittany Packnett, an activist and member of Barack Obama’s Task Force on 21st Century Policing, described the continued disproportionate killing of unarmed black Americans as “appalling”. “It is something we should be deeply ashamed of and committed to changing urgently because it is very literally a life-or-death situation for so many people, and many of those people look like me,” Packnett said on Tuesday. The US government does not currently keep a comprehensive record of people killed by police. Instead the FBI runs a voluntary program for law enforcement agencies to submit numbers of “justified homicides” if they choose. When the federal government last published a full year’s worth of data, it found 461 “justifiable homicides” by law enforcement for the entirety of 2013; | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/jul/01/us-police-killings-this-year-black-americans |

Investigators this week asked the Justice Department to look into a “potential compromise of classified information” surrounding the private email server, a department official said on Friday. The official said the referral did not relate to possible criminal wrongdoing, despite having said earlier on Friday that it did. On Saturday, in Iowa, Clinton told reporters she never knowingly sent or received classified information using her private server and did not know what messages were being cited by investigators. Appearing on CNN on Sunday to discuss a new poll of GOP voters which showed him leading the 16-strong Republican field – on 18% to 15% for Jeb Bush and 10% for Scott Walker – Trump said “I haven’t focused on Hillary”, though he added that he had made “some very strong statements” about her at an Iowa rally of his own on Saturday. “The fact is that what she’s done is criminal,” he said. “ I don’t see how she can run. Because if the prosecutors – who are all Democrats, by the way, and that’s part of the problem with fairness here, they’re protecting her – but if you had an impartial prosecutor and they were honorable – maybe they are, we’re going to find out – but what she’s done is criminal.” The Guardian view on Donald Trump’s early lead in the race for the Republican nomination | Editorial

The uncounted
Content: Tuesday’s bureau of justice statistics (BJS) report, produced in collaboration with RTI International, the research institute, explodes the notion – if its findings are accurate – that the figures the FBI publishes annually are anything other than hugely misleading. The data underlying the FBI tally “is estimated to cover 46% of officer-involved homicides at best” for the years 2003-2009 and 2011, the BJS report concluded. But the published FBI tallies cover even fewer of the total deaths, closer to 41%, in part because the FBI publishes no data from Florida. A separate tally of “arrest-related deaths”, conducted by BJS itself, was slightly more accurate for the years in question, capturing 49% of law enforcement homicides, at best, the report found. The report estimated “an average of 928 law enforcement homicides per year” for the years in question, suggesting that the FBI’s published count of 414 such deaths in 2009, for example, might be 124% off, while its count of 347 such deaths in 2005 might be 167% off. “The point of this was to try to quantify the coverage error,” said Michael Planty, an author of the report. The years under study saw several high-profile homicides by law enforcement of unarmed civilians, such as the 2009 shooting of Oscar Grant in a train station in Oakland, California – an episode that would become the subject of the award-winning film Fruitvale Station – and the 2006 killing of Sean Bell, who died in a hail of 50 bullets outside a nightclub in Queens, New York. But the majority of victims in law enforcement homicides for those years not only went unnamed – they went uncounted in any one tally. Even the two counting systems combined, as overseen by the FBI and BJS, missed an average of 263 homicides by law enforcement each year, BJS found. The uncounted

Academics and specialists have long been aware of flaws in the FBI numbers, which are based on voluntary submissions by local law enforcement agencies of paperwork known as supplementary homicide reports.

Content: Nor is Trump is the only politician to allegedly attempt to scrub things from the web that might be considered damaging to one’s reputation. In 2013, the UK’s Conservative party was accused of purging the party’s website of content published between 2000 and 2010, allegedly to remove evidence of unfulfilled campaign promises. It also ensured Internet Archive had not indexed the pages. One of the deleted pages detailed a speech that David Cameron, then prime minster, made at Google in which he said that “political leaders will have to learn to let go of the information that we have guarded so jealously”. Multiple US politicians, including current vice-president Joe Biden and Republican vice-presidential candidate Mike Pence, have been caught editing their own Wikipedia entries to suppress unflattering information. Pence allegedly edited his page to remove a reference to a former job as a conservative talk radio host, and adding awards, senior job roles and glowing summaries of his political career. Members of British parliament have been similarly snagged. Why social media is the real Trump card in the US election

This will prevent the archive’s bots from crawling the site’s pages. Rich Matta, CEO of ReputationDefender, says there isn’t much a public figure such as Trump can do besides change the behavior that creates the negative publicity in the first place. “We have worked with some individuals that have similarly massive public profiles as Donald Trump and that have a penchant for making controversial statements,” says Matta. “ But when you reach the level of intense scrutiny of a major party nominee for the presidency, the only realistic way to control your online reputation is through your own statements and actions.” | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jul/29/melania-trump-website-take-down-donald-reputation |

Content: Yes. She herself has admitted that it was a mistake. A recent report by the state department inspector general found that she broke multiple rules despite repeated warnings to use official communications methods that would ensure her emails were stored and kept safe from hackers. Did she break the law? As an FBI investigation continues, expert opinion is divided. Some offer a view reminiscent of Bill Clinton’s famous remark that he experimented with marijuana but “didn’t inhale”. “ I believe Clinton did break the law but at the same time I don’t think there’s evidence she committed a crime,” says Douglas Cox, associate professor at City University of New York School of Law. It is a violation of federal records law to remove or destroy material, Cox notes, although Clinton “in part” fixed this by returning thousands of emails. More important in assessing whether a crime was committed is the question of intent, Cox says. “ While there were warnings and memos that she should have been aware of, from a prosecution side they would need to prove her knowledge and intent and have evidence of that to bring before a jury.” | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jun/10/hillary-clinton-emails-analysis-possible-indictment-fbi |

“Here in Minnesota, you’ve seen first-hand the problems caused with faulty refugee vetting, with very large numbers of Somali refugees coming into your state without your knowledge, without your support or approval,” the Republican nominee told a rally in the solidly Democratic state, two days before the presidential election. He then claimed: “ Some of them [are] joining Isis and spreading their extremist views all over our country and all over the world.” “Everybody’s reading about the disaster taking place in Minnesota,” he added, before claiming, falsely: “ You don’t even have the right to talk about it.” Trump has made warnings about refugees a staple of his stump speech, though he has most commonly targeted Syrians fleeing the five-year civil war that has devastated their country. Unauthorized immigration in the US
About 11.3 million people live in the US without legal papers, down from a peak of about 12.2 million in 2007. Net unauthorized immigration has been roughly even since 2010. According to 2012 figures, there are about 8 million unauthorized migrants either working or looking for work, or 5.1% of the labor force. Since 2009, more Mexicans have been leaving the US than entering, likely due to a slow economic recovery since the recession and stricter border enforcement. | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/06/donald-trump-minnesota-somali-migrants-isis |

Unauthorized immigration in the US
Content: Trump has made warnings about refugees a staple of his stump speech, though he has most commonly targeted Syrians fleeing the five-year civil war that has devastated their country. Unauthorized immigration in the US
About 11.3 million people live in the US without legal papers, down from a peak of about 12.2 million in 2007. Net unauthorized immigration has been roughly even since 2010. According to 2012 figures, there are about 8 million unauthorized migrants either working or looking for work, or 5.1% of the labor force. Since 2009, more Mexicans have been leaving the US than entering, likely due to a slow economic recovery since the recession and stricter border enforcement. Barack Obama has deported more than 2.5 million people, more than any other president. His executive orders protect at least 1.2 million people from deportations. Three Somali Americans, two US citizens and one a lawful resident, pleaded guilty in June to trying to join the terror group Islamic State, or Isis. Law enforcement officials have said that more than 30 young men from Minnesota have left the county to join Isis or al-Shabaab, which operates in east Africa. According to the 2010 census, more than 85,000 Somali Americans lived in the US with the largest concentration living in the Twin Cities. | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/nov/06/donald-trump-minnesota-somali-migrants-isis |

FBI to reopen investigation of Clinton private email server – campaign live
Content: Several outlets have reported that the emails came from devices seized from top Clinton aide Huma Abedin and her husband, former congressman Anthony Weiner, in connection to an investigation of inappropriate text messages that Weiner sent to an underage girl. The letter from Comey comes 11 days before the presidential election and nearly four months after the FBI director announced the bureau would not recommend criminal charges against Clinton for what it dubbed “extremely careless” use of a private email server while secretary of state. The FBI director said then: “ Although there is evidence of potential violations of the statutes … our judgment is that no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case.” Clinton was campaigning in Iowa. It was not immediately clear if she would address the matter publicly and she ignored shouted questions from reporters waiting on the airport tarmac. She did not raise the issue after taking the stage in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, sticking with her routine stump speech. In Des Moines, she referred to the news only obliquely, saying: “ We have got to keep our foot on the gas. Donald Trump says he can still win and he is right. | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/oct/28/fbi-reopens-hillary-clinton-emails-investigation |

Donald Trump dossier: intelligence sources vouch for author's credibility
Ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele, named as writer of Donald Trump memo, is ‘highly regarded professional’
Content: At his press briefing on Wednesday, the president-elect dared the world’s media to scrutinise the 35 pages of claims, before throwing down a challenge – where’s the proof? Nobody had any. Case closed. But in the rush to trample all over the dossier and its contents, one key question remained. Why had America’s intelligence agencies felt it necessary to provide a compendium of the claims to Barack Obama and Trump himself? And the answer to that lies in the credibility of its apparent author, the ex-MI6 officer Christopher Steele, the quality of the sources he has, and the quality of the people who were prepared to vouch for him. In all these respects, the 53-year-old is in credit. Christopher Steele. Photograph: The Sun

On Thursday night, as the former spy was in hiding, having fled his home in the south-east of England, former colleagues rallied to defend him. One described him as “very credible” – a sober, cautious and meticulous professional with a formidable record. The former Foreign Office official, who has known Steele for 25 years and considers him a friend, said: “ The idea his work is fake or a cowboy operation is false – completely untrue. Chris is an experienced and highly regarded professional. He’s not the sort of person who will simply pass on gossip.” | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/jan/12/intelligence-sources-vouch-credibility-donald-trump-russia-dossier-author |

The tweet made its way to the committee, with the result that Comey and Rogers were confronted with it. Again they said there was no basis for the assertion. “We’ve offered no opinion, have no view ... on potential impact, because it’s not something that we’ve looked at,” Comey said. “ It certainly wasn’t our intention to say that today because we don’t have any information on that subject. And it wasn’t something that was looked at.” Facebook Twitter Pinterest
Trump’s false tweets on Russia corrected live at hearing
The FBI director said it became clear early on in the investigation that it was Vladimir Putin’s intention to help the Trump campaign with Russian intervention, because of the strength of his hatred for Hillary Clinton. Comey confirmed that the FBI began the counterintelligence investigation in late July 2016, remarking that for such an inquiry, that was “a relatively short period of time”. He said it was “impossible to say” when it would end. He noted it was not referred to in an intelligence community assessment of the Russian intervention presented to Obama and Trump in late December. | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/20/fbi-director-comey-confirms-investigation-trump-russia |

Content: Democratic members of the committee asked Comey about a list of Trump’s former or current aides, including the former national security advisor, Michael Flynn; his former campaign manager Paul Manafort; foreign policy adviser Carter Page; another former adviser, Roger Stone; and former media adviser Michael Caputo. The FBI director was also asked about Trump himself. In each case, he said he could neither confirm or deny whether they were under investigation. Aware of Democratic criticisms, Comey urged Congress and the public not to draw comparisons between his extensive public comments on the Clinton inquiry, arguing that they concerned “details of a completed investigation”, although in the days before the election Comey publicly stated newly inquired information from an ongoing inquiry might affect the Clinton investigation – something that ultimately did not happen. In his testimony, Comey remarked on the bluntness of the Russian intelligence intervention in the election, which he described as “unusually loud”, as if the Russians did not care if they were caught, or even wanted to be caught. The aim, he suggested was “freaking people out that the Russians might have been undermining our elections successfully”. | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/20/fbi-director-comey-confirms-investigation-trump-russia |

Splits between the Republican and Democratic membership were evident from the very start of the hearing. Chairman Devin Nunes, a Republican and a member of Trump’s transition team, sought to put the emphasis on leaks from the intelligence agencies about the investigation, and particularly in the contacts between the former national security adviser Michael Flynn and the Russian ambassador to Washington. The ranking Democrat on the committee, Adam Schiff, used his 15-minute opening statement to outline a prosecutorial case laying out all the known or reported contacts between members of the Trump campaign team and Russian officials, most of which had been denied by the Trump camp. “Is it possible that all of these events and reports are completely unrelated, and nothing more than an entirely unhappy coincidence?” Schiff asked. “ | https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/mar/20/fbi-director-comey-confirms-investigation-trump-russia |

Content: A WARNING
It should not be overlooked that the British railways themselves are today one of the best examples of the true co-ordination of transport to be found anywhere in the world. They operate road transport, docks, hotels, and canals as well as railways and all are fitted together to serve the single purpose of the whole. The Transport Act provides for separate executives for each form of transport and this may mean separating each part of the business, in which case the economies may not be realised as soon as might otherwise be the case. This was one of the criticisms levelled at the measure when it was going through its Parliamentary stages. The warning given by Sir Rowland Hill in 1867 against "undue enlargement of expectation" should not be forgotten, even by the Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Transport, who the other day in the House of Commons said he had great hopes that when the railways were nationalised on January 1 all trains between London and Manchester would run to time!

Boris Yeltsin, who has died aged 76, was the most controversial figure in recent Russian history, provoking even stronger emotions in his compatriots than Mikhail Gorbachev, the man he replaced in the Kremlin. While Gorbachev presided over the decline of the Communist party and the end of the Soviet empire in eastern Europe, it was Yeltsin, Russia's first elected president, who buried the Soviet Union itself. For that he earned euphoric admiration from some of his fellow-citizens and raging hatred from others. Yeltsin's second outstanding claim to fame was his decision to launch Russia towards market reforms via the route known as "shock therapy", again covering himself with an avalanche of praise and fury. Then, in October 1993, in a bizarre episode for an emerging democracy, he ordered tanks to assault the seat of the Russian parliament in the climax of an 18-month struggle with elected deputies. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/apr/23/russia.guardianobituaries |

While Gorbachev presided over the decline of the Communist party and the end of the Soviet empire in eastern Europe, it was Yeltsin, Russia's first elected president, who buried the Soviet Union itself. For that he earned euphoric admiration from some of his fellow-citizens and raging hatred from others. Yeltsin's second outstanding claim to fame was his decision to launch Russia towards market reforms via the route known as "shock therapy", again covering himself with an avalanche of praise and fury. Then, in October 1993, in a bizarre episode for an emerging democracy, he ordered tanks to assault the seat of the Russian parliament in the climax of an 18-month struggle with elected deputies. Finally, just over a year later, he ordered Russian troops, most of them conscripts, to try to put down a rebellion in Chechnya that has remained a key issue ever since. The rash move sent more Russian citizens to their deaths than the 10-year-war, which the Soviet Union waged in Afghanistan till 1989. Any of these actions would have ensured Yeltsin a place in the catalogue of strong Russian leaders from Ivan the Terrible onwards. The four together create an extraordinary record for a man who was virtually unknown in Russia, let alone abroad, until the age of 56. Yeltsin's name is indelibly linked with Russia's faltering experience in trying to create democracy in a country which had known centuries of authoritarianism. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/apr/23/russia.guardianobituaries |

The four together create an extraordinary record for a man who was virtually unknown in Russia, let alone abroad, until the age of 56. Yeltsin's name is indelibly linked with Russia's faltering experience in trying to create democracy in a country which had known centuries of authoritarianism. He was given strong support by western governments who feared a return to communist rule but confused personality with process. They frequently overlooked Yeltsin's mistakes and encouraged him to bring in a constitution that concentrated massive power in the presidency rather than achieving a reliable system of checks and balances. But western support did at least prevent backsliding, and in spite of hints that he might cancel the presidential elections of 1996, when opinion polls suggested he would lose massively, or indeed the parliamentary elections of 1999, Yeltsin reluctantly honoured the system. Yeltsin was born to a peasant family in the village of Butko in the Urals. When the family's only cow died, Yeltsin's father moved to Perm to work as a labourer on a building site. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/apr/23/russia.guardianobituaries |

Content: There was no need to negotiate with competing power structures or political leaders with different views, since there were none. The extent of a regional party secretary's room for manoeuvre was to lobby the central authorities for extra funds for his area, to build new factories, roads, or schools. A party secretary showed his worth by his efficiency in getting things done. Yeltsin was a loyal servant of the centre. When he was ordered in 1977 by the Politburo to demolish the house where the last tsar, Nicholas II, and his family were murdered in July 1918, he complied readily. The house was becoming a focal point for low-key demonstrations and Moscow wanted it removed. After Gorbachev came to power in March 1985 and started his perestroika reforms, Yeltsin was invited to join the Politburo as a non-voting member. His dynamism made him seem a good man. He was put in charge of running Moscow. Although he launched himself into the new job with energy and created a populist image with well-publicised trips on buses and trams, he began to lose patience when he ran into opposition from entrenched bureaucrats. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/apr/23/russia.guardianobituaries |

Although he launched himself into the new job with energy and created a populist image with well-publicised trips on buses and trams, he began to lose patience when he ran into opposition from entrenched bureaucrats. By the summer of 1987 he was anxious to move. At a spectacular session of the Central Committee in October, which was meant to concentrate exclusively on Gorbachev's draft speech celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Revolution, Yeltsin criticised Gorbachev and announced he would resign from the Politburo. His action started a rift between the two men that was never healed. The immediate crisis was hushed up, but after the anniversary celebrations Yeltsin was summoned to a meeting of the Moscow branch of the party where he was sacked as city leader. But instead of being removed from the scene altogether, as would have happened under earlier Soviet leaders, Yeltsin was given a second chance. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/apr/23/russia.guardianobituaries |

Content: In the new parliament he joined the radical wing of perestroika's critics. A year later he was elected to the new Russian parliament, making it clear he hoped to become its chairman. He probably did not yet see the job as a base from which to oust Gorbachev altogether, but he clearly wanted to reduce the Soviet leader's power. As the drive for independence developed in the Baltics, the notion of "sovereignty" - even for the other republics that did not want to leave the Soviet Union - became attractive. Yeltsin argued for a new treaty to transform the Soviet Union, not to abolish it. By mid-1990 the Communist party's monolithic rule was being openly challenged. The party had agreed to change the constitution to allow for other parties to emerge, but Gorbachev's efforts to remove the conservatives from influence in the Communist party were meeting growing resistance. Yeltsin decided to abandon the party completely. At its congress in July 1990 he stunned fellow delegates by announcing his resignation and walking out of the hall. During the crisis over the Baltic republics' moves towards independence, when Soviet forces seized the television headquarters in Lithuania in January 1991 in support of a mysterious Committee of National Salvation that wanted to overthrow the elected government, Yeltsin rushed to the area to show solidarity with the independence movements. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/apr/23/russia.guardianobituaries |

Gorbachev, meanwhile, kept silent for 10 days, apparently unwilling to confront the hardliners in the KGB and the military. The Lithuanian crisis led many radicals to conclude that Gorbachev himself had become an obstacle to change. Yeltsin took the same view, calling publicly for Gorbachev's resignation in February 1991. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2007/apr/23/russia.guardianobituaries |

Barack Obama to be America's first black president
Content: Obama was projected to hold on to all the states the Democrats took in 2004, and win half a dozen or more of the battleground states that had been held by the Republicans. The Democrat was projected to win New Hampshire, Connecticut, Delaware, Washington DC, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts and New Jersey. McCain was projected to win Oklahoma, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia and South Carolina. Fears that many white voters would in the privacy of the polling booth fail to vote for a black candidate appeared to be unfounded. Americans voted in record numbers throughout the day as they finally got the chance to turn their backs on Bush's disastrous presidency and choose a new leader after America's longest and costliest election campaign. From the eastern shores of Virginia, across the industrial heartland of Ohio, and on to the Rocky mountain states of Colorado and New Mexico and beyond, poll workers and voters reported long lines and waits of several hours in the most eagerly anticipated US election for half a century. Turnout was at levels not seen since women were first given the vote in 1920. Election officials predicted turnout would come close to 90% in Virginia and Colorado, and 80% in Ohio and Missouri. The chance to choose America's first black president drew out more minority voters than in recent elections, turnout experts said. White voters represented 81% of the US electorate eight years ago and 74% this year, according to exit polls. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/05/uselections20084 |

The odds had been stacked against McCain from the start, linked, as he was, to Bush, with his near-record low popularity ratings, hostility towards the Iraq war and an impending recession. But McCain managed to hold his own until mid-September, when the Wall Street crash saw Obama open up a commanding lead. Obama will inherit horrendous economic problems that will limit the scope of his ambitions. In his final rallies, Obama was already tempering his early promise of change with warnings about how he would have to curb some of his more ambitious plans, trying to lower expectations that he would be able to move quickly on healthcare and education reform. Independent election monitors reported sporadic instances of delayed openings of polling stations, broken voting machines, ballot shortages, voter confusion and occasional abuse in a number of battleground states including Florida, Ohio, Colorado, Pennsylvania and Virginia. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/nov/05/uselections20084 |

We should not view the war as being responsible for all of this, however; the rise of the US and the Soviet Union and the weakening of the European empires had been happening long before 1939. The war acted as an accelerator. It also accelerated change in other ways: in science and technology, for example. The world got atomic weapons but it also got atomic power. Under the stimulus of war, governments poured resources into developing new medicines and technologies. Without the war, it would have taken us much longer, if ever, to enjoy the benefits of penicillin, microwaves, computers – the list goes on. In many countries, social change also speeded up. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/sep/11/second-world-war-rebuilding |

Remembering the war
Content: in science and technology, for example. The world got atomic weapons but it also got atomic power. Under the stimulus of war, governments poured resources into developing new medicines and technologies. Without the war, it would have taken us much longer, if ever, to enjoy the benefits of penicillin, microwaves, computers – the list goes on. In many countries, social change also speeded up. The shared suffering and sacrifice of the war years strengthened the belief in most democracies that governments had an obligation to provide basic care for all citizens. When it was elected in the summer of 1945, for example, the Labour government in Britain moved rapidly to establish the welfare state. The rights of women also took a huge step forward as their contribution to the war effort, and their share in the suffering, were recognised. In France and Italy, women finally got the vote. If class divisions in Europe and Asia did not disappear, the moral authority and prestige of the ruling classes had been severely undermined by their failure to prevent the war or the crimes that they had condoned before and during it. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/sep/11/second-world-war-rebuilding |

Content: Yusuf set up a religious complex, which included a mosque and an Islamic school that attracted many poor Muslim families. In 2009 Boko Haram attacked several police stations and other official buildings in Maiduguri. The Nigerian security forces hit back and more than 1,000 people died, not all of them Boko Haram supporters. Yusuf was captured and killed, his body shown on television. Boko Haram was finished. But its fighters regrouped under a new leader. In 2010 it attacked a prison in Bauchi state, freeing hundreds of its supporters, and carried out deadly bombings in Jos and military barracks in the Nigerian capital, Abuja. Its main modus operandi was to deploy gunmen on motorbikes to kill police, politicians and other opponents. Since then, the waves of shootings and bombings have continued and, according to the Council on Foreign Relations, Boko Haram is responsible for nearly 3,800 deaths since May 2011. The group has sworn allegiance to al-Qaida and, Sani says, some of its members have fought in Somalia and Sudan, but a formal link "cannot be independently confirmed". | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/mar/08/nigeria-state-war-islamist-insurgency |

Content: “When people call you brilliant, it’s always good, especially when the person heads up Russia,” he told MSNBC shortly after Putin’s original comments. In May Trump falsely described the comments as a compliment of his intelligence. “ They want me to disavow Putin,” he said. “ Putin of Russia said Trump is a genius.” Trump has proposed US-Russian cooperation regarding Syria, counter-terrorism and trade deals, and defended Putin’s record on eliminating a free press. The Kremlin and its allies have over 15 years dismantled independent news organizations, and the 2006 murder of investigative reporter Anna Politkovskaya has also been linked by activists to Putin’s Kremlin. Trump told ABC in December: “ it’s never been proven that he killed anybody.” The businessman’s top campaign aide, Paul Manafort, was an adviser to Viktor Yanukovych, a pro-Kremlin Ukrainian politician who was fled to Russia after a 2014 revolution ousted him from office. Putin also spoke carefully on Friday about the presumptive Democratic nominee, Hillary Clinton, saying he did not work much with her directly when she was secretary of state. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/jun/18/vladimir-putin-donald-trump-striking-america-superpower |

This is what about 1,000 people who have been squatting in an abandoned hotel in the city centre for a decade are facing on 22 October, barring a last-minute reprieve. But they are not afraid, they say, nor do they intend to budge. “We have already been teargassed, and we have been hit by batons,” said Ivaneti Araújo, 43, one of the organisers of the group. “ It has happened to us at other occupations.” The city government was trying to negotiate buying the building from its owners when a judge issued the eviction order. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/sep/30/driven-by-poverty-squatters-occupied-a-derelict-sao-paulo-hotel-now-they-face-eviction |

Russia has also now put out its own image in an attempt to counter the radar picture provided earlier by Turkey ( See 10.26 ). While the Turkish image appeared to show that the Russian jet briefly flew over southern Turkey before it as shot down, Russia’s suggests that there has been no airspace violation.

The shooting killed one crew member on the Mi-8 helicopter and forced it to land in neutral territory, he says. The rest of the crew was evacuated. Rudskoi also said that Russian radar data showed that Turkish warplanes had violated Syrian airspace in the course of shooting down the Russian plane

When Putin labeled Turkey “accomplices of terrorists,” he was hinting at complex relationship which includes links between senior Isis figures and Turkish officials, explains the Guardian’s Martin Chulov in this analysis. Turkey’s international airports have also been busy. Many, if not most, of the estimated 15,000-20,000 foreign fighters to have joined the Islamic State (Isis) have first flown into Istanbul or Adana, or arrived by ferry along its Mediterranean coast. The influx has offered fertile ground to allies of Assad who, well before a Turkish jet shot down a Russian fighter on Tuesday, had enabled, or even supported Isis. Vladimir Putin’s reference to Turkey as “accomplices of terrorists” is likely to resonate even among some of Ankara’s backers. From midway through 2012, when jihadis started to travel to Syria, their presence was apparent at all points of the journey to the border. At Istanbul airport, in the southern cities of Hatay and Gaziantep – both of which were staging points – and in the border villages. | https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2015/nov/24/russian-jet-downed-by-turkish-planes-near-syrian-border-live-updates |

Put the dry ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Add the buttermilk, egg, and honey. Stir until combined. Is there a buttermilk substitute? There are a couple of ways to make a buttermilk substitute. One option is to store powdered buttermilk like this in your refrigerator. Simply mix it with water when you are ready to use it. Another option is to make a buttermilk substitute. For one cup of buttermilk, mix 1 tablespoon of white vinegar or lemon juice into 1 cup of milk. Allow the mixture to sit for about 10 minutes before using it. | https://www.thegunnysack.com/cheese-on-a-stick/ |

What Are Miranda Rights And Who Was Ernesto Miranda? Posted by David C. Hardy on August 26, 2018
The Miranda Rights which Police read to suspects come from the U.S. Supreme Court Case of Miranda v. Arizona. Why Was Ernesto Miranda Arrested? On March 3, 1963, an eighteen-year-old woman had been working in the concession stand at a movie theatre in downtown Phoenix. After work, she boarded a public bus to go home. When the bus reached her stop, she started to walk toward her house. She observed a car, which afterward proved to be that of Ernesto Miranda. The car that Ernesto Miranda used to kidnap his victim. Mr. Miranda got out of his car, approached the woman, and forced her into the backseat of his car. | https://www.thehardylawfirm.com/blog/what-are-miranda-rights-and-who-was-ernesto-miranda/ |
