The film is set in Igloolik in the Eastern Arctic wilderness at the dawn of the first millennium . http://atanarjuat.com/legend/legend_film.php The wind is blowing over a bleak snowy landscape while a man tries to herd away some marauding dogs . We hear the voice of an old man singing a childish song . Inside a stone house a strange shaman by the name of Tungajuaq , who comes from up north , is singing playfully to the gathered community and camp leader Kumaglak . But among the spectators there are some mistrustful faces . Flash forward to another day . Qulitalik is bidding goodbye to his sister Panikpak , wife of Kumaglak , promising to come if she calls for help in her heart . She gives him her husband's rabbit's foot for spiritual power . Qulitalik tells his sister , `` Tulimaq is the one they 'll go after now . '' It seems that Qulitalik is leaving to escape a threat , and the hope is that one day he will return to help . As Panikpak watches him leave , we hear a voice-over from a woman : `` We never knew what he was or why it happened . Evil came to us like Death . It just happened and we had to live with it . '' Flash back to the original scene in the stone house . The visitor and the camp leader Kumaglak are in a `` friendly '' spiritual duel involving binding in leather thongs . But Panikpak is startled when the stone lamp in front of her breaks in half , and , to the horror of those present , Kumaglak falls over dead . The visitor removes the leader's walrus-tooth necklace from Kumaglak's body , and , passing by Tulimaq , he puts the necklace around the neck of Sauri , the son of the murdered leader Kumaglak , saying , `` Be careful what you wish for '' .
After reading the above, is "Her first husband" the correct answer to the question "Who was Sauri?"?

In Canada, the term "football" may refer to Canadian football and American football collectively, or to either sport specifically, depending on context. The two sports have shared origins and are closely related but have significant differences. In particular, Canadian football has 12 players on the field per team rather than 11; the field is roughly 10 yards wider, and 10 yards longer between end-zones that are themselves 10 yards deeper; and a team has only three downs to gain 10 yards, which results in less offensive rushing than in the American game. In the Canadian game all players on the defending team, when a down begins, must be at least 1 yard from the line of scrimmage. (The American game has a similar "neutral zone" but it is only the length of the football.)

Ottoman Empire:
After the Austro-Turkish War of 1716–1718 the Treaty of Passarowitz confirmed the loss of the Banat, Serbia and "Little Walachia" (Oltenia) to Austria. The Treaty also revealed that the Ottoman Empire was on the defensive and unlikely to present any further aggression in Europe. The Austro-Russian–Turkish War, which was ended by the Treaty of Belgrade in 1739, resulted in the recovery of Serbia and Oltenia, but the Empire lost the port of Azov, north of the Crimean Peninsula, to the Russians. After this treaty the Ottoman Empire was able to enjoy a generation of peace, as Austria and Russia were forced to deal with the rise of Prussia.

Article: Put your dominant hand on the top of the stick and your non-dominant hand about halfway down the shaft or a foot below your dominant hand. This will help give you proper control and power. The position of your fingers on the stick is not as important. Choose what is comfortable for you. Some people find that having you pinky hanging off the edge helps to increase movement and rotation on the dominant hand's wrist. Your knees should be bent in an athletic stance and your body should be positioned at a 45 degree angle in relation to the net or wherever you are shooting. It is important to be at the correct angle to the net so that the puck will be shot in the right direction. For the wrist shot, the puck should be positioned at your back foot. This will allow you to have more leverage and thus more power. Do not put the puck so far back that it is uncomfortable. Try to get the puck as close to your back foot while still being in a comfortable position. Again, this will help you get more power in your shot and be a more stable shooter. Next rotate your wrists slightly so that the blade angles outward. Only raise the stick so that it makes at most a 10 degree angle to the ground. The blade should rotate at most 45 degree angles backward. Sweep the puck forward while transferring your weight toward your front foot and rotating your body forward. Your hips and shoulders should turn toward your target. The rotation should be a quick turn but not so quick that it hurts your back or makes your shot unstable. As the stick blade crosses your body, transfer body weight on your stick while pushing forward with your dominant hand and pulling backward with your non-dominant hand. Your non-dominant hand should across and behind your hip when pulled backwards. At the point of release, turn your wrists at the point of release in order to turn the stick blade out and lift the puck. After the puck is released, follow through by pointing the toe of your stick toward the target. The height of the shot depends on how much you rotate your wrists and how high your follow-through is. In order to shoot accurately, you must follow through correctly. After the shot, point the blade of the stick and angle your hips and shoulders to where you want the shot to go.
What is a summary of what this article is about? | Grip the stick correctly. Assume the correct stance for shooting. Position yourself correctly next to the puck. Transfer your weight to your back foot. Bring the stick back. Transfer your weight forward to shoot. Shift your weight to your stick. Release the puck when it reaches your front foot and your shoulders are square to the net. Perform the correct follow through. | 7 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

China Scolds Indian Government for Expelling 3 of Its Journalists
NEW DELHI â Chinese state-run news media on Monday criticized a decision by the Indian government to not renew the visas of three Chinese journalists from Xinhua, the state news agency.
An editorial in The Global Times, a Chinese tabloid known for its hawkish views, said the decision sent a ânegative messageâ and was a possible retaliation for Chinaâs opposition to having India join the Nuclear Suppliers Group last month.
âWe should take actions to display our reaction,â it said. âWe should at least make a few Indians feel Chinese visas are also not easy to get.â
Reports of the visa denials surfaced on Saturday. The editorial identified two of the journalists as Wu Qiang, the Xinhua bureau chief in New Delhi, and Tang Lu, the chief correspondent at the Mumbai bureau. An article on Monday in the newspaper The Hindu, in New Delhi, identified the third as She Yonggang, a reporter in the Mumbai bureau. All three must leave India by the end of the month, The Hindu said.
The Hindu reported that two of the journalists had recently traveled to Karnataka, in southern India, to speak with Tibetans, and that they were traveling under assumed names when they were intercepted by the police.
Kuldeep Singh Dhatwalia, a spokesman for the Indian Ministry of Home Affairs, said the journalistsâ visas had expired four months ago and had been valid only on short-term extensions. He characterized the decision as routine and denied that it was an expulsion.
âThis time the extension is not there, so theyâre going,â he said.
But some in India viewed the countryâs action as unnecessary and a rare provocation.
India has been unnerved by recent aggressions with China, including confrontations with the Chinese military in the disputed border territory of Ladakh, Kashmir.
Shekhar Gupta, an Indian political commentator, said in a Twitter post that there was a âsteep declineâ in a relationship âcarefully managedâ since the late 1980s. He added, âMore sophisticated revenge would be subtle trade barriers and improving low-end manufacturing.â
A potential source of friction was Indiaâs failure to gain admittance to the 48-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group at a meeting in Seoul, South Korea, last month, apparently at least in part because of opposition from China. At a briefing on July 1, Vikas Swarup, the spokesman for the Indian Ministry of External Affairs, said its pursuit of membership would be âa matter of continuing talks with China, because we eventually hope to convince China of our credentials and our need for joining the Nuclear Suppliers Group.â
The editorial in The Global Times suggested that if India was taking revenge, âthere will be serious consequences.â
âItâs a pinprick, and itâs illogical,â Mohan Guruswamy, a distinguished fellow at the United Service Institution, a security think tank in New Delhi, said of the expulsion of three âlow-level journalistsâ in the face of Chinaâs provocations.
âIf somebodyâs given you a slap on the face, you give a slap back,â he said. He said India lacked a âcoordinated effortâ on China.
A spokesman for the Indian Ministry of External Affairs was not available for comment on Monday.
A reporter for Xinhua in India who declined to be identified said the reporters whose visas were not renewed would not be available for comment.

The center of an atom is held together by powerful forces. This gives them a huge amount of stored energy. This type of energy is called nuclear energy. This energy can be released and used to do work. This happens in nuclear power plants where they split apart the nucleus of an atom. This splitting apart is called nuclear fission. Another type of nuclear energy happens in the Sun. Here the atoms nuclei are not split apart. Instead, the nuclei of the atoms are fused, or joined together. This process is called nuclear fusion. Some of the suns energy travels to Earth. This energy from nuclear fusion warms the planet and provides the energy for photosynthesis.
Question: "What happens to atoms during nuclear fusion?"

What's an example of a movie review? | The main reasons to see "Red Eye" are Rachel McAdams, who delivers a stellar performance, and Jayma Mays, who is wonderful as the Assistant Hotel Manager. On the other hand, Cillian Murphy overacts so badly that he becomes cartoonish. The rest of the movie is riddled with plot holes, on which I will elaborate.
Please do not read further if you don't want to know what happens!
Here is a synopsis of the plot. Rachel McAdams's character (Lisa) manages a hotel where the new hard-nosed Homeland Security Director plans to stay that night. Rachel is returning to Miami from a funeral, but fielding calls from her assistant up until the plane leaves. In the meantime, someone is stationed outside the house of her father, Joe (played by Brian Cox), ready to kill him if Cillian Murphy (Jackson) calls. All Lisa has to do is phone the hotel and move the Director's suite to one where Jackson's cohorts are planning to fire a guided missile (from a fishing boat) to kill the Director and his family.
So, here are some of the plot holes or absurd coincidences:
1. Jackson finally convinces Lisa to make the call, and in the middle, the phones in the plane lose their connection. Lisa tries to fake that she is making the call, but coincidentally, a guy across the aisle from Jackson is also making a call and starts banging his phone to indicate it is dead. Jackson catches on and grabs the phone from Lisa.
2. At one point, Jackson head-butts Lisa and she, of course, gets knocked out...but only for 30 minutes.
3. Jackson catches Lisa writing a note on the mirror in the (extraordinarily large) lavatory, and he bangs her around a bit. Miraculously, the only one who hears anything is an 11-year-old girl, whose word, of course, is discounted.
4. Lisa stabs Jackson with a pen in the throat as the plane is landing, steals his cell phone, and makes a mad dash for the exit, fitting down the aisle between the seats and 18 rows of standing passengers. Despite knowing there is a passenger with a pen stuck in his throat, the flight attendants oblige Lisa by opening the door to the jet-way.
5. OK, all those are reasonable (if not highly unlikely). But here's where it gets really stupid. Lisa gets into the terminal at Miami Airport, and there is no cell phone signal (every major airport in America has great cell phone reception).
6. She runs through the airport with Jackson in hot pursuit, and no security officers even delay them.
7. Jackson, who lost Lisa in the Airport while the train from the gates pulled away to the terminal, has lost some of his voice from the pen in his throat, but he can still be somewhat understood. However, he doesn't bother to call his man outside of Joe's house. (PS: There is no train at Miami Airport, but the one they showed looked an awful lot like the Orlando Airport).
8. Lisa steals a car and rides away. Of course this time, when she goes to make a call, the cell phone says "low battery" and soon shuts off (when will they stop using this inane plot device?).
9. While the phone still said "low battery," Lisa had reached her assistant just in time to save the Director and his family from the guided missile launched by the fishing boat to the window of the room on the 40th floor to which the Director had been moved. Of course, they expect us not to notice that the hotel is surrounded on 3 sides by ocean, so the missile could have probably been launched at the first suite, thereby negating the need for the whole Lisa-Jackson plot. What's the story here? Was the Director's original room on the 38th floor one of the only rooms in the hotel with a lousy view? Nevertheless, everyone gets out just before the missile hits.
10. Lisa drives to Joe's house to save her father only to see the killer outside. Although she runs him over (as he is shooting at her) by crashing her Jeep into the house, no one in the neighborhood seems to notice or bother to stop by.
11. Jackson arrives at Joe's house and knocks him out (we don't see how...maybe another head butt). He then explains to Lisa that he didn't kill dad yet because he wanted dad to see Lisa die first (Give me a break. What is this? Saturday morning cartoons?).
12. For the rest of the movie (about 20 minutes), Jackson chases Lisa around the house, and she resourcefully fights him off. Of course a real killer (i.e. one maybe played by Jason Statham) would have done away with Lisa (or for that matter anyone who is not a trained killer) in the first 30 seconds. During the course of this chase, Jackson steps over Joe at least once without bothering to kill him.

So, here's my suggestion...tell Wes Craven to stick to horror. Or maybe he should get together with Michael Bay (who directed the equally stupid "The Island") and make "Red Island." | 9 | Flan2021 | imdb_reviews/plain_text:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

New launches of dairy-free varieties now make up 4% of all new ice cream launches, according to market research firm Mintel.
And major brands, including Haagen Dazs and Ben and Jerry's have launched dairy-free varieties.
But they don't tend to market them as "vegan" said Mintel's analyst.
"There is consumer curiosity around dairy-free, particularly among younger people," said Alex Beckett, Global Food and Drink Analyst at Mintel.
"They perceive dairy-free ice cream to be a more permissible treat than regular ice cream."
Amid rising numbers of people switching to a diet that eliminates or cuts down on dairy-based ingredients, ice cream makers have embraced the trend, particularly in the United States.
This week Haagen Dazs launched four new flavours: chocolate salted fudge truffle, peanut butter chocolate fudge, mocha chocolate cookie and coconut caramel.
Ben and Jerry's uses almond milk for its dairy-free flavours and has recently added caramel almond brittle, cherry Garcia and coconut seven layer bar to its range.
In contrast to sorbets, these products aim to emulate the creamy textures and flavours of a dairy-based product, something that has proved a challenge for food scientists.
They are not yet available in the UK but Mintel's report suggest there could be a market for them across Europe.
According to Mintel as many as three in 10 Italians and one in five French consumers say they are actively reducing their consumption or are avoiding dairy.
In the UK, 16% said that they, or a member of their household, avoided dairy.
Although dairy-free still represents a small slice of the overall range of new ice cream launches, at 4%, that proportion has already doubled since 2014.
However, while a growing number of people are choosing to go vegan, firms are avoiding marketing new flavours with that label, said Mr Beckett, because vegan doesn't really equate with indulgence.
"They tend not to put vegan on the packaging, because for a lot of people that would be a deterrent," he said.
Instead they are exploiting the "health halo" of plant-based recipes and ingredients such as coconut, to come across as a treat "but one you don't feel too guilty eating".
The UK ice cream market lags behind the US, added Mintel's Mr Beckett.
"In the UK we tend to follow what happens in the US and we're a few years behind in terms of ice-cream innovation.
"In the States dairy-free is booming," he said.
On that basis Mr Beckett, is predicting UK consumers will soon be offered the kind of middle-eastern-spice-influenced flavours currently in fashion in the States.
"Saffron is an edgy flavour in US ice cream parlours," he said.
"What happens in Brooklyn and LA tends to emerge in retail in the States, and then in a few years that emerges in the UK.

San Antonio grew to become the largest Spanish settlement in Texas. After the failure of Spanish missions to the north of the city, San Antonio became the farthest northeastern extension of the Hispanic culture of the Valley of Mexico. The city was for most of its history the capital of the Spanish, later Mexican, province of Tejas.

The idea that Earth is a magnet is far from new. It was first proposed in 1600 by a British physician named William Gilbert. Knowing it acts like a magnet is one thing. Knowing why it acts like a magnet is more difficult. In fact, finding out why is a fairly recent discovery. To find out why required new technology. It was the seismograph that made it possible to learn why the Earth acted like a magnet. Seismograph are used to study earthquakes. By studying earthquake waves they were able to learn about Earths interior. They discovered that Earth has an inner and outer core. The outer core consists of liquid metals, mainly iron and nickel. Scientists think that Earths magnetic field is generated here. It is caused by the motion of this liquid metal. The liquid metal moves as Earth spins on its axis.

Claim: Currently there is no way to legally respond to cyber attacks by other states
What evidence supports this claim? | 1. Few people actually know about cyber attacks between USA and Iran , which would be an unimaginable situation should these states resorted to military attacks .
2. Despite their far-reaching and grave consequences , cyber attacks by other states do not feature heavily in the news .
3. This apparent lack of condemnation and attention in the wider society to cyber attacks further decreases ability of the state to defend themselves or even call out an aggressor publically as there is little to fear from global opinion for such actions .
4. An attacked state thus has no legitimate means to respond to cyber attacks .
5. Currently international law on how a state can respond to cyber attacks by another state is lacking : it only covers cyber attacks during armed conflicts or those are tantamount to an armed conflict -LSB- 15 -RSB- .
6. Moreover , without international law regulating cyber warfare between states , there is no actual illegitimacy for cyber attacks .

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about:
The large field of creative writing splits into subcategories (fiction, poetry, creative-nonfiction) and there are even specialized genres (sci-fi, mysteries, experimental… the list goes on). Figure out what you want to write. Write what you would want to read. Your best writing will spring forth from something that you, and maybe only you, are passionate about. When your passion is injected into your writing, your readers will, in turn, be interested. Your passion for your individual writing project is a powerful tool that will serve well as a starting point. Remember that you don’t have to limit yourself to a single field. Many established writers spread out and explore—perhaps they write creative essays while publishing their creative non-fiction work. Maybe their short novels have poems inside of them. Establish a particular time of day, location, and atmosphere for your writing sessions. As you establish this routine, the creative side of your brain will become accustomed to working in these familiar conditions. Things to consider are… Noise: some writers enjoy absolute quiet. Others will listen to music to jog their creative juices. Others will want the company of friends to bounce ideas. Time: Some writers jot down thoughts just before they sleep. Early mornings hours work well for others, as fewer people are awake to bother them. Other writers may enjoy being badgered, and therefore write in between coffee break or other work sessions. Other writers will like long periods of undisturbed writing time, and dedicate their weekends to writing. Location: establishing a particular building, room, or even chair can help the writing process. This familiarity will train your brain to work creatively, or technically, to suit your goals. Reread the things you have enjoyed and study them—figure out what makes them effective, what makes them work. Try to understand the structure of your favorite poem, or the evolution of the characters in your favorite novel. Find a sentence that you think is great, and wonder—why did that author choose that phrase? This word? Do not limit yourself single genres or fields. To truly enrich your writing experience, you must explore. You may not enjoy fantasy, but other people read and write fantasy for a reason. Read with this motto in mind: “I read to write. I read to learn. I read to be inspired.” Notice things. Pay attention to the world around you. Look for mysteries and try to solve them. If you have questions, pursue the answers with obsessive interest. Take special note of the quirky and unusual. When writing, having noticed things will help give you something to write about. Moreover, it can help make your writing more compelling, richer, and more realistic. Here are some pointers that will help you explore the world around you: Nothing is ordinary or boring. There’s something odd or special about everyone and everything. There’s a mystery in front of you: a TV that won’t turn on, a bird that won’t fly. Figure out how things work, don’t work, and why. Pay attention to detail. The leaves are not only green: they've got long, thin veins, rigid stems, and are shaped like spades. Write down things that you notice or that inspire you. Take it everywhere you go. Some famous writers even went as far as to sew extra pockets into their jackets in order to carry more scraps of paper. Use this journal to produce ideas, take note of things you see, hear, or read, and flesh out your writing material. When you get stuck on your project, you can revisit it for inspiration. Understand that everything can go in your notebook, because everything is a source of inspiration. Some useful things are: Dreams: a major source of the weird and unusual. Write it down before it disappears! Pictures: photographs and doodles Quotes: things people say, sentences that surprise you, short poems, the insides of a fortune cookie This is the most important part, and it can be very hard. Many of us stare blankly at the computer screen, with no words to write. Some call it “writers block.” To help, here are some basic writing exercises that can help jog your creative juices and provide a material for your project: Go somewhere busy, preferably a place with lots of people. Imagine that your vision of the scene is a video camera, recording everything. Take out your notebook and write down exactly what is happening. Include all the senses—sight, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. Take a voice recorder, and spy on a conversation. Don’t let the speakers know! After you've recorded for an adequate amount of time, transcribe the conversation on paper. Play with the words—delete things, change things, add things. Create a new setting, or a new situation. Create a character. What do they want? Fear? What is their secret? Who are they related to, and where do they live? What’s their last name…if they even have one? As early as you can, set writing goals and try your best to stick to them. There are a billion half-novels in the world and a trillion half-short stories. Setting a goal and sticking to it, however unpleasant the work gets, is essential to figuring out what you want to write. By the time you finish whatever you set out to write in the first place, you’ll have three things: a good idea what you really want to write about some skill with which to write about it the tenacity to finish the job Sharing ideas and getting feedback is one of the best ways to become inspired and to improve your work. This can be scary for beginner writers, for your work can be something incredibly personal, and you may be afraid of rejection. However, writing in isolation means that not only is no one reading your work, but you can also run the risk of compounding bad habits (being too wordy, redundant, or melodramatic, etc.). Instead of being scared, think that every person you share your work with is a potential person to give you new ideas and inspire you. Being a writer is almost like being a superhero: awkward office job by day… dragon-riding, super sleuth, knight in armor WRITER by night. Some creative writers do not have day jobs—but this is very rare. However, having a day job is not a bad thing. In fact, a good day job can even be helpful to your goal in becoming a writer. When finding your dream day job, here are some things to consider: Does it pay the bills? A good day job should ease your financial burdens so you can write without worry. Stress is not conducive to your project. Does it leave you enough time and energy to write? A good day job should be easy enough on your energy level so that you’re not exhausted afterwards. Does it provide a good “distraction”? Having a space away from your writing work can be helpful. Spending too much time on a single project can be overly immersive. It is good to take a step back. Does it have other creative people? A good day job should give you awesome coworkers. Creative people are everywhere! They are not just writers or artists.

Secret Service Boosts White House Security After Incidents
WASHINGTON (AP) — The Secret Service is boosting security outside the White House following an embarrassing security breach in which an intruder with a knife scaled the White House fence, dashed across the lawn and made it all the way inside before agents managed to stop him.
Increased surveillance and more officer patrols are among the measures that Secret Service Director Julia Pierson has ordered as the elite agency strives to ensure such an incident can’t happen again. Pierson has also launched a full investigation into what went wrong.
Word that a fence-jumper managed to get inside the White House drew reactions of alarm and disbelief about how one of the most heavily secured buildings in the world had been compromised. With questions mounting, President Barack Obama sought to allay concerns about whether the Secret Service is still up to the task of protecting him and his family.
“The president has full confidence in the Secret Service and is grateful to the men and women who day in and day out protect himself, his family and the White House,” White House spokesman Frank Benenati said late Saturday. He said the White House expected Pierson’s review to be conducted “with the same professionalism and commitment to duty that we and the American people expect from the U.S. Secret Service.”
Obama and his daughters had just left the White House by helicopter on Friday evening when the Secret Service says 42-year-old Omar J. Gonzalez hopped over the fence. He ran toward the presidential residence unimpeded, ignoring orders from officers to stop, until being tackled just inside the doors of the North Portico — the grand, columned entrance overlooking Pennsylvania Ave.
“Every day the Secret Service is challenged to ensure security at the White House complex while still allowing public accessibility to a national historical site,” the agency said in a statement Saturday. “Although last night the officers showed tremendous restraint and discipline in dealing with this subject, the location of Gonzalez’s arrest is not acceptable.”
Officials initially said the fact that Gonzalez appeared to be unarmed may have been a factor in why agents at the scene didn’t shoot Gonzalez or sic their dogs on him before he made it inside. But a criminal complaint issued late Friday revealed Gonzalez had a small folding knife with a 3 ½-inch serrated blade with him at the time of his arrest.
The Secret Service said its Office of Professional Responsibility was carrying out the review, which began with interviews and a physical site assessment and will include a review of all of security and operational policies.
But those assurances were unlikely to satisfy the concerns of those who said the stunning breach marked just the latest in a string of mishaps on the Secret Service’s watch.
“Unfortunately, they are failing to do their job,” said Rep. Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah. “These are good men and women, but the Secret Service leadership has a lot of questions to answer.”
According to a criminal complaint, Gonzalez told Secret Service agents after the arrest that he was “concerned that the atmosphere was collapsing” and needed to contact the president “so he could get word out to the people.”
The breach triggered a rare evacuation of much of the White House. Secret Service agents drew their weapons as they hurried White House staffers and journalists out of the West Wing through a side door.
Gonzalez, of Copperas Cove, Texas, was transported to a nearby hospital after his arrest for evaluation. He was expected to appear in federal court Monday to face charges of unlawfully entering a restricted building or grounds while carrying a deadly or dangerous weapon.
Less than 24 hours after Gonzalez’s arrest, a second man was apprehended after he drove up to a White House gate and refused to leave, Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said, prompting bomb technicians in full gear to search the vehicle as agents briefly shut down nearby streets.
There were no indications the two events were connected. Yet the pair of incidents in short succession only intensified the scrutiny of the Secret Service, which is still struggling to rehabilitate its image following a series of allegations of misconduct by agents in recent years, including agents on Obama’s detail.
Once open to vehicles, the stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of the White House was confined to pedestrians after the 1995 bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, but officials have been reluctant to restrict access to the area further.

Summarize this article in one sentence.
It means surgery in Belfast's Royal Victoria Hospital will cease.
Jim Wells made the announcement to the assembly on Tuesday, following a review of children's cardiac services.
In 2012, it emerged that services at the Royal were not sustainable with many operations taking place in either England or Dublin.
The review was commissioned by health ministers in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
Mr Wells, a Democratic Unionist Party minister, told MLAs he was recommending the implementation of a new cross-border model of co-operation that would "deliver safe and effective cardiac care to children in Northern Ireland".
Children's heart surgery for the whole of Ireland will be based at Our Lady's children's hospital in Crumlin, south Dublin.
The Royal in Belfast would develop as a centre for diagnostics and cardio interventions.
Mr Wells said a single children's heart centre in Dublin would see children being treated in accordance the highest standards of care.
He said the model provided significant opportunities for enhancing the support available to families, involving their representatives, as well as clinicians, in governance arrangements and improving communication and the flow of information between clinical teams in Dublin and Belfast.
A leading international surgeon who has advised on the future of children's heart surgery in Northern Ireland has said there is a real willingness to make an "all-island" solution work.
In 2013, Dr John Mayer, was asked by the Department of Health in Northern Ireland to review existing services.
He looked at those in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
His conclusion and recommendations will have major ramifications for the Northern Ireland health service.
In an exclusive interview with the BBC, the professor of surgery at Harvard Medical School said what was required was not difficult and should be achievable in a relatively short space of time.
The international panel that examined the cardiac services was chaired by leading surgeon Dr John Mayer from Boston.
In his report to the Department of Health in Northern Ireland he said surgical care of all children should be transferred to Dublin.
In a statement, Mr Wells and his counterpart in the Republic of Ireland, Leo Varadkar, said: "We recognise fully the importance of clarity for patients, their families, clinicians, and other stakeholders on the immediate implications for service delivery.
"The immediate impact of the removal of surgery from Belfast is that more children from Northern Ireland are likely to receive elective surgery at a specialist centre in Great Britain, as required, until appropriate capacity is in place in Crumlin."
In 2012, a national report said that that while safe, the unit at the Royal in Belfast was not sustainable. It said such cardiac centres across the United Kingdom must perform a minimum of 400 children's surgical procedures each year.
Hundreds of families have campaigned for heart surgery to be retained in Belfast.
Sarah Quinlan of the Children's Heartbeat Trust, an organisation that supports families of children with heart disease, said it was "very disappointing" to hear that surgery will be moving to Dublin.
"What this report does offer us, at last though, is an actual roadmap as to how they plan implementing this," she said.
"What really seems to be key within it (the report) is that this is a partnership.
"It isn't about Dublin, a one way road to Dublin but that Belfast is strengthened and enhanced and there's a lot of work and finance put into our cardiology in Belfast to ensure that children can receive the vast majority of their care still in Belfast.
"We would strongly say that at first sight all of these recommendations need to be implemented if this is going to work at all."
•Establishing a family advisory group
•Establishing an single governance committee
•Establishing a database of congenital heart disease patients
•A flow of expert personnel between the two jurisdictions
•Expansion of paediatric cardiac ICU capacity in Dublin to at least 10 fully staffed beds
•Expanding and upgrading telemedicine links between Northern Ireland and the Republic
•Changing focus in Belfast to elective and lower complexity adult congenital cardiac services
•Enhancing services for all patients and their families who do not reside in Dublin
•Integrating the activities of advanced practice nurses to provide patient and family support and manage the transfers between Belfast and Dublin
•Establishing quarterly meetings between paediatric and neonatal transport services in both jurisdictions to facilitate safe transfers between outlying areas and Belfast and Dublin
•Continuing the upgrade of paediatric transport services
•Expanding case conferences to include cardiologists from Belfast Trust
•Monthly review conferences including cardiologists from both jurisdictions
•Mandating an annual symposium to include assessment of the current system

Mafraq, Jordan (CNN) -- In the Mafraq region of northern Jordan, it's not unusual to witness a shepherd guide his flock along a busy highway. This is Bedouin country after all, roughly two hours drive from the capital Amman and just a stone's throw from the Syrian border. These days, farmers on this land share tales of struggle. The arteries of their work, roads through Syria onto Turkey, have been cut off by the vicious fighting amongst their northern neighbors. "It is difficult to go on with the business," said Muslih Ajal Massaeed, a Jordanian Wool Distributor. "At the moment we can't do anything. We gather wool and stop until Allah can send us a buyer."

CLOSE Passengers on board a United Airlines flight had to be be turned around because their plane was too big. Buzz60
This file photo from 2016 shows a SkyWest-operated Bombardier CRJ-200 lands at Reno-Tahoe Airport under the United Express brand. (Photo: Jeremy Dwyer-Lindgren, special for USA TODAY)
The text alert from United Airlines sounded ominous.
"Your 2:13 p.m. United flight to Chattanooga is delayed because of unforeseen circumstances,'' it said. "This is an unusual situation and we're working hard to solve it. We value your time and we're sorry for the inconvenience.''
Unusual was putting it mildly.
And the "situation" wasn't news to the 50 passengers on Flight 5277 on Oct. 16. They received the alert after the problem arose, after their Chicago-to-Chattanooga flight returned to O'Hare International Airport mid-flight.
Vince Fallon, who was traveling from Omaha to Chattanooga via Chicago for a business meeting, said the United Express flight, a daily flight operated by partner SkyWest Airlines, started out without any major issues.
Fallon and another passenger on the plane said there was a last-minute aircraft swap, from one type of regional jet to another due to a mechanical issue, which changed their seat assignments but didn't delay the flight. Flight tracker FlightAware says the plane left the gate at 2:17 p.m. local time, just a few minutes behind schedule, and took off at 2:45 p.m. It was due to land in Chattanooga less than two hours later, at 5 p.m. local time.
More than halfway into the flight – Fallon figures they got to the Kentucky border from a map of the flight route a friend sent – when the pilot told passengers he had some bad news.
"We're going to turn and go back to O'Hare,'' Fallon said, recalling the gist of the pilot's message.
There was a collective grumble.
Fallon and passenger Jill Lohsen recall the pilot saying the plane, a 76-seat Embraer 175, was "too large'' to land in Chattanooga.
Lohsen said that didn't make sense because she's been on Delta flights to Chattanooga on the same plane.
"The pilot, nor the flight attendants, did not have any information for us and just kept saying they would figure it out when we land,'' she said via e-mail.
Flight 5277 landed back in Chicago at 4:29 p.m. and passengers were greeted with Cheez-Its, pretzels and water, and a new flight scheduled to leave within the hour.
"We still were only told that there was a mistake, saying we could take the larger plane to Chattanooga, but no real explanation,'' Lohsen said.
A text message with details on the new flight offered more insight into the reason for the u-turn: "We're sorry for returning to Chicago. The airport in Chattanooga is unable to assist with ground operational requirements for your current aircraft type. We assigned your flight a new plane."
SkyWest spokeswoman Marissa Snow did not provide any other details, saying only that the 76-seat Embraer aircraft used on the first flight to Chattanooga was "just a different aircraft than typical for ground personnel there.'' She would not elaborate on why the airline used the plane on the route in the first place or didn't check with the airport to see about necessary ground crews.
Passengers were put on a 50-seat Bombardier CRJ 200, which United typically uses on the flight. Passengers finally arrived at the gate in Chattanooga just before 8:30 p.m. local time, more than three hours late.
Fallon took the delay in stride and said he's had worse weather delays.
United refunded the Chicago-Chattanooga leg of passengers' flights and gave them a $300 flight voucher or miles for their trouble.
Fallon took the voucher and plans to visit his brother in Boston.
Lohsen termed the U-turn a "very strange experience.''
"It was my first time flying United so not the best impression," she said.

What is a summary? | – United Flight 5277 took off from Chicago's O'Hare International Airport at 2:45pm last Tuesday, heading to Chattanooga. More than halfway through the 71-minute flight, the pilot made an announcement: "We're going to turn and go back to O'Hare," one of the passengers recalls him saying to USA Today. Another passenger says the pilot explained that the 76-seat Embraer 175 aircraft was too big to land at Chattanooga, which didn't make sense to her since she'd taken Delta flights to the airport on the same type of plane. The regional flight, a United Express flight operated by SkyWest Airlines, is operated daily, but there had been a last-minute aircraft swap due to a mechanical issue. The Points Guy confirms Chattanooga can indeed handle that size aircraft. The real problem apparently involved ground crew equipment for that particular plane. The 50 passengers aboard were back in Chicago at 4:29pm, and ultimately switched to a 50-seat Bombardier CRJ 200—the aircraft United typically uses for that flight. They ended up in Chattanooga more than three hours late; at some point after the plane had already turned around, they received a text alert from United saying that due to "unforeseen circumstances" and an "unusual situation," their flight would be delayed. A second text message explained that the Chattanooga airport was "unable to assist with ground operational requirements for your current aircraft type," and a SkyWest spokesperson says the Embraer was "just a different aircraft than typical for ground personnel there." Passengers were refunded and given a $300 voucher for a future flight, and perhaps more importantly, they were also given Cheez-Its upon landing back in Chicago. (The plane incident was far more disturbing.) | 2 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

When Ian Rogerson was given the shock news that his three-year-old son Jack had developed autism, he didn’t even flinch at the decision to quit his life as a high-flying radio personality to care for him. Almost immediately the up-and-coming star - who appeared as one-half of a successful Australian radio duo, based in Sydney, in the 1980s alongside Jonathan Coleman – made his mind up 15-years-ago that he and wife Nicole were going to fight to better their son’s health. Their story – which revolves around their eldest son's battle with autism- is one of thousands untold in the battle to overcome the condition and will be aired on ABC’s Australian Story tonight. Scroll down for video. Ian Rogerson, former Sydney radio personality, gave up his career to care for his Autistic son, Jack Rogerson, who is about to graduate from high school. Ian Rogerson and wife Nicole with son Jack (pictured left) he was diagnosed with autism at age three but has overcome the odds to graduate as one of the top of his class in high school. Ian Rogerson (pictured left) gave up a successful a career in radio when he found out his son Jack, developed autism. Rogerson was one-half of a successful Australian radio duo, in the 1980s alongside Jonathan Coleman 'Jono' (pictured right) The Sydney couple describe how they went from rock bottom sitting in their car after learning of Jack's condition, to watching their son graduate school as one of the top of his class this year. Ian Rogerson (pictured right) gave up his radio career for son Jack (pictured left) despite some saying he committed 'career suicide' ‘We got to one pediatrician and we’d been to see him a couple of times,’ Mr Rogerson said. ‘And on one of the visits – it was just a bit of a throw away, (the pediatrician said) ‘oh, he’s got autism.’ ‘It was one of those things – it really hit.’ He and wife Nicole remember the day vividly, shattered that a disease they thought they couldn’t fix was going to burden their ‘perfect child’ for the rest of his life. ‘It was raining,’ Nicole said, ‘and Jack was sitting in the back of the car oblivious making all those baby sounds and I think for about half an hour we thought it was the end of the earth.’ ‘And then we thought, well, bugger you let’s see what we can do about this.’ Prior to the diagnosis, Jack was born a healthy boy, the ‘perfect child’ his father described him, a quiet, well-behaved toddler who hardly made a peep at night and was a pleasure to take into public. But by age three, the Rogersons discovered Jack wasn’t growing into the same boy many of his peers around him were. He was becoming increasingly agitated by sound and light, showed little sign of emotion and displayed no affection. Jack was in the grip of a relatively unknown disease that changed the Rogerson's life dramatically. At three years old, Jack (pictured right) developed autism. Prior to the diagnosis, Jack was born a healthy boy, the ‘perfect child’ his father described him as. Ian Rogerson and wife Nicole (pictured) remember the day vividly Jack was diagnosed with autism, shattered that a disease they thought they couldn’t fix was going to burden their ‘perfect child’ for the rest of his life. Mr Rogerson was enjoying life as a successful media identity having carved out a partnership with Australian radio host Jonathan Coleman as 'Johno and Dano' in the 1980s. When he announced he was leaving the industry to care of his son, many coined it 'career suicide', but Mr Rogerson said the priority of his son's health was paramount and that was all that mattered. He subsequenlty ended his career in top-rating radio shows and a string of national television programs to better his son's health. 'It didn't really matter what I did, or what my job was - if something is wrong with your child, you need to fix,' he said. Mr Rogerson's story of how he and his wife Nicole turned Jack's life around, after enlisting the professionalism of pioneer autism researcher Elizabeth Watson, is remarkable. At his worst, Jack was hyperactive an inaudible child who could barely speak. ‘He would scream and tantrum. He was just in his own world,’ his father said. His mother said health professionals had written him off, and that there was little help available. But now 18, Jack has taken huge steps in his battle to beat autism, all thanks to his involvement in an early intervention program known as Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA). Happy Family : The Rogerson wouldn't have done things differently after Ian (pictured middle right) gave up his radio career to help look after son Jack when he developed autism at three years old. The turning point in Jack’s life came in 1999 when the Rogersons met Ms Watson, a speech pathologist and therapist pioneering the treatment which focuses on all areas of development including communication, play, self-help, fine and gross motor as well as academic skills. Ian Rogerson 'Dano (pictured right) and Jonathon 'Jono' Coleman (pictured left) were a popular Sydney radio team. It addressed Jack’s problematic behaviours' including tantrums, as well as some socially inappropriate behaviours. The program also helps children perform basic tasks such as tying shoelaces. But for many not as fortunate as Jack, the program is simply out of reach. Ongoing treatment requires a huge financial investment due to a lack of Government-funded support. About one in every 100 child’s family will experience autism and only children whose family can afford treatment make successful progress to beat it. Mr Rogerson said some people pay upward of of ‘$40,000 a year,’ for the ABA program, but for him it was worth every cent. 'I'm so glad we did...we've got such a beautiful child.' Mrs Rogerson said involvement such as the ABA shows what is possible with the help of early intervention for autism. 'Jack's progress shows what is possible,' mother Nicole, who is now CEO of Autism Awareness Australia, said. 'We know that kids in Australia, one in a hundred of them, have Autism Spectrum Disorder and the reality is the vast majority are not getting anywhere near best practice guidelines for treatment of Autism.' She said unless the government makes a genuine investment in this area, so many children are not going to reach their best outcome. 'And I think that's a tragedy.' The Australian Story: My Name Jack, will air on ABC at 8pm tonight.

CBS News is the news division of American television and radio service CBS. The president of CBS News is David Rhodes. CBS News' broadcasts include the "CBS Evening News", "CBS This Morning", news magazine programs "CBS Sunday Morning", "60 Minutes" and "48 Hours", and Sunday morning political affairs program "Face the Nation". CBS Radio News produces hourly newscasts for hundreds of radio stations, while CBS also operates a 24-hour news network called CBSN, the first live anchored 24-hour streaming news network that is exclusively online and on smart devices.
In 1929, the Columbia Broadcasting System began making regular radio news broadcasts—five-minute summaries taken from reports from the United Press, one of the three wire services that supplied newspapers with national and international news. In December 1930 CBS chief William S. Paley hired journalist Paul W. White away from United Press as CBS's news editor. Paley put the radio network's news operation at the same level as entertainment, and authorized White to interrupt programming if events warranted. Along with other networks, CBS chafed at the breaking news embargo imposed upon radio by the wire services, which prevented them from using bulletins until they first appeared in print. CBS disregarded an embargo when it broke the story of the Lindbergh kidnapping in 1932, using live on-the-air reporting. Radio networks scooped print outlets with news of the 1932 presidential election.

What's an example of a movie review? | One of the five worst movies I have ever watched. And I'm not exaggerating. In fact, I recommend watching it so you can get the same feeling of incredulity as you might by watching Showgirls.
Out of 400 votes, the movie gets a user rating of 5.3/10. But there is a disproportionate number of voters who gave it a 10/10, probably due to the message of the movie - nuclear weapons are the bane of mankind. Chuck Murdock is an all-star little league pitcher who gives up baseball because there are nuclear weapons. Soon "Amazing Grace" Smith is an all-star Boston Celtic who is inspired by Chuck's story and gives up basketball. Soon all sports leagues from the professional level to college to high school to little league dismantle in a world-wide protest. Later all the children of the world go on a silence strike. This inspires the President of the United States to meet with the Soviet Premier, who in time agree to eliminate all nuclear weapons in time for the start of the next Little League season. The movie ends with Chuck about to throw out the first pitch, with the President telling his new best friend Chuck not to worry about striking out every batter, as he hasn't thrown a baseball in a year.
Somewhere along the line a nefarious underworld boss kills Amazing Grace. When the President finds out he is told that the FBI can verify the killer but will never be able to prove it. So the President calls the underworld boss ("But it's one a.m." "I don't care, get him on the line") and tell him that he is to resign from all company boards that he sits on and sell all stocks that he has. And to not get out of line again.
Honestly, this movie was so crappy that I couldn't turn it off. It was on television from 2:30 am to 4:00 am, and I watched it all. I wasn't turned off by the anti-nuclear weapons propaganda. I was turned off by the implausible break down of all organized sports. I don't even understand why "Amazing Grace" Smith was killed. And with all these famous athletes becoming Chuck's friends, why the father was constantly upset with his son taking a principled stand. And there was the cliché moment near the end when dad tells Chuck, "I never told you this, but I'm proud of you." Cue hug. | 9 | Flan2021 | imdb_reviews/plain_text:1.0.0 | zs_opt |
CHAPTER XXI.
COLONEL KELMSCOTT'S PUNISHMENT.
While Montague Nevitt was thus congenially engaged in pulling off his treble coup of settling his own share in the Rio Negro deficit, pocketing three thousand pounds, pro tem, for incidental expenses, and getting Guy Waring thoroughly into his power by his knowledge of a forgery, two other events were taking place elsewhere, which were destined to prove of no small importance to the future of the twins and their immediate surroundings. Things generally were converging towards a crisis in their affairs. Colonel Kelmscott's wrong-doing was bearing first-fruit abundantly.
For as soon as Granville Kelmscott received that strangely-worded note from Gwendoline Gildersleeve, he proceeded, as was natural, straight down, in his doubt, to his father's library. There, bursting into the room, with Gwendoline's letter still crushed in his hand in the side pocket of his coat, and a face like thunder, he stood in the attitude of avenging fate before his father's chair, and gazed down upon him angrily.
"What does THIS mean?" he asked, in a low but fuming voice, brandishing the note before his eyes as he spoke. "Is every one in the county to be told it but I? Is everybody else to hear my business before you tell me a word of it? A letter comes to me this morning--no matter from whom--and here's what it says: 'I know you're not the eldest son, and that somebody else is the heir of Tilgate.' Surely, if anybody was to know, _I_ should have known it first. Surely, if I'm to be turned adrift on the world, after being brought up to think myself a man of means so long, I should, at least, be turned adrift with my eyes open."
