NEW: The lack of autopsies and possible lack of witnesses may hinder the prosecution. Bales' lawyer says he's "going to make (the prosecution) prove every claim" The March 11 shooting spree in Afghanistan left at least 16 dead. The rampage has strained already-tense U.S.-Afghan relations.
Article: | Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales will be charged with 17 counts of murder and six counts of assault and attempted murder related to a March 11 shooting spree in Afghanistan, a senior U.S. official said Thursday. The charges are expected to be announced Friday. The official could not explain why the count is now 17, when 16 have been reported killed in the incident. Bales' lawyer, John Henry Browne, told CNN that he did not respond to leaks and that he would not comment before seeing the charges against his client. Even then, he said, "There's probably not much to say." Still, Browne predicted the case -- whenever it comes to trial -- is going to be "extremely difficult" for the prosecution. "They have no murder scene, no forensics," the lawyer said Thursday night from outside his Seattle office. "I'm going to make them prove every claim." Military law experts acknowledge proving the case may be hard, especially given that there are no autopsies to help prove the cause of death -- in large part because those killed were buried quickly, in accordance with Islamic tradition -- and witnesses may not willingly fly from Afghanistan to the United States to testify. U.S. officials have alleged that Bales carried out the killings alone in two neighboring villages in the Panjwai district of Kandahar province, in southern Afghanistan. Bales was flown out of Afghanistan last week and is being held at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. 2 kids die in Kandahar suicide bombing. Afghans are insisting that the suspect be returned to Afghanistan to face trial, with villagers and lawmakers questioning the U.S. military's account of what happened. But a military official said in Afghanistan on Sunday that Bales will be tried in the United States. The rampage has strained already tense U.S.-Afghan relations and intensified a debate about whether to pull American troops ahead of their planned 2014 withdrawal. Afghan President Hamid Karzai has demanded that troops withdraw from villages in his nation and return to their bases, saying relations between the two countries were "at the end of their rope." On Wednesday, Afghanistan's foreign minister called for a "swift and transparent investigation" into the killings of 16 men, women and children. But CNN legal contributor and defense attorney Paul Callan told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront" that the case against the lone suspect in their deaths, Bales, may be largely circumstantial. "There were admissions allegedly made by Sgt. Bales to some of his fellow soldiers, in which he claimed at least that he wasn't shooting women and children, (and rather) was shooting men of military age," Callan said. "Now, that would be an admission by him that would link him to the crime scene. If they then link his gun to the specific victims, then they easily make a connection and they can prove their case." Callan said he believed prosecutors would seek the death penalty against Bales,"because this is one of the biggest alleged massacres in memory." "You have the diplomatic and political problems that are being caused by this crime," Callan said. "Afghan citizens will be looking, saying, 'Is the U.S. seeking justice in this case?' " But he said that even if prosecutors won a death sentence, it would be unlikely that Bales would face execution for years, perhaps decades. The accused soldier spoke Wednesday night with his wife, their second such conversation since the attack, Browne said. The couple have two young children together. Accounts from the military, Bales' family, friends and neighbors paint a portrait of a man who remained committed to serving his country despite wounds he received during three previous combat tours to Iraq -- including a traumatic brain injury suffered during a vehicle accident there. But Michael Breen, a former Army captain, told CNN that the speculation about whether his injuries or a possible, undiagnosed case of post-traumatic stress disorder contributed to Bales' actions was unfair to other veterans. "Sgt. Bales has been through a lot as a soldier. Many of us have," Breen said. "That is certainly no explanation or excuse for the gross violation of his code of honor, to say the least, and the horrific crimes that he committed." CNN's Miguel Marquez and Paul Vercammen contributed to this report. | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

(CNN) -- Lebanese authorities on Saturday arrested three people in connection with the kidnapping of two Turkish pilots, both of whom remain missing more than a week later. The Turkish Airlines pilots were riding a bus heading from Beirut-Rafic Hariri International Airport to their hotel early August 9 when armed assailants stopped the bus, according to Turkey's foreign ministry. Reports on the number of attackers -- who were riding in two vehicles -- varied from four to eight.

Write an article based on this summary:
Meditate deeply, focusing on your breathing Focus on your breathing. Use the power of suggestion to slow your body's rhythms. End each trance meditation slowly. Gradually deepen your trance by practicing. Test the strength of your consciousness. Practice visualization. Visualize yourself falling deeper.
Article: | . Find a quiet, meditative location where you'll feel comfortable and calm. Settle into a comfortable sitting position, on the floor or in a straight-backed chair, and sit with your body upright, your back straight. Go with soft, natural lighting and silence. Close your eyes or focus somewhere in the middle-distance–a blank wall or a calming spot would do nicely. Articulate your intentions for this meditation by centering yourself around some mantra like, "I will achieve trance and I will return to normal consciousness with a full memory of what I experienced. I will achieve a deeper and deeper trance state with practice." You don't need to sit in the lotus position in the middle of a crossroads at midnight or prostrate yourself in front of a goat skull and candles to channel. Focus on your comfort and achieving the trance-like state, not superficial details from the movies. Sit quietly and breathe deeply. Feel your breath go into and out of your body. Feel the air going into your lungs, filling you with nourishing oxygen, and going out into the world. Breathe in and breathe out. Do nothing but breathe for several minutes. Let thoughts come and go, focusing on none of them. Just focus on breathing. To move deeper into a trance, start with a specific part of your body, like your left hand. As you breathe, feel the air coming into your body in your left hand. Move your consciousness into your left hand, and focus your energy on relaxing your left hand. Say, "My left hand is relaxing, my left hand is relaxed." Move the relaxation to your left arm, then your right hand, your right arm, and your legs in the same fashion. Spend 30-60 seconds on each part of your body, focusing your full consciousness and attention on relaxation. Wait until you feel that part of your body relax before moving on. After you've relaxed your body, give weight to your body. After you've relaxed your body, you want to introduce a feeling of heaviness, as if your body were covered in many blankets, or buried in sand. In the same fashion, establish a consciousness connection with your left hand, focusing your energy into it fully. It should still be relaxed. Say, "My left hand is heavy." Spend 30-60 seconds focusing on each part of your body in the same way. After you've given weight to your body, give warmth to your body. In the same way, move around your body giving warmth by saying, "My left hand is warm." Focus your energy on achieving a state of warmth, as if you were in a warm bath, or had placed a heating pad on each part of your body. Your body should feel extreme comfort, but you should not feel sleepy. When you decide to return to normal consciousness, focus on your fingers and your toes, wiggling them and returning them to a more normal state. Feel your body gradually cool down and look around the room, letting your mind return to its normal way of thinking. Stand up and walk around when you've stretched out a bit. Don't just jump up and start pacing around–if you've been sitting long enough, you might have sleepy limbs and could sprain an ankle. Bad juju for consciousness meditation. The goal of the trance is to blur the lines between your body, your consciousness, and the world around you. Move through the stages described in the previous step, achieving the trance slowly, focusing on calming your body. Practice introducing your body to the trance-like state with many days of practice before attempting to deepen your trance or channel in any way. This is a process you must commit to, if you want to achieve results. It may be slow going at first, but as you progress, you might notice the previous steps becoming easier and easier. If you focus on warming up your left hand, you may feel your left arm become warm at the same time, or both arms become warm. This is a good sign that your training your mind and body to achieve a trance state more quickly. When you think you're ready to move on to a deeper state of consciousness, add another step to your trance: feel your forehead grow cool. In many traditions, the "third eye" located on the forehead signifies your connection to the subconscious or the world of the unseen. Isolate that part of your body by saying, "My forehead feels cool." If you want to start seeing results and get some sense of how strong your connection with the world of the unseen has become, try an experiment: select a very specific time that you'd like to wake up, and plant the seed of that time into your mind at the end of your trance meditation. After cooling your third-eye, focus on the time you've selected by saying, "I will rise tomorrow at 6:00." Don't set an alarm and try sleeping as normally. After much practice in achieving your trance state, you should start to feel more comfortable moving into and out of that state. If you've grown quite strong, it's time to start spending more time exploring it. This is the beginning of real channeling. Before you find a guide or source to transmit to you, though, spend some time working on visualization and finding a deeper more immersive layer of consciousness. Visualize objects and colors. After you've cooled your third-eye, let your subconscious suggest a color. Say, "I see blue," and repeat it until the color settles into your mind and you really see blue. At first, you may see a mishmash of colors, but continue practicing until you can settle and "see" what your mind tells you to see. It may be helpful to give the color an object, like a pen or a car. See the blue pen. Watch it. Feel it's weight in your hand and try to "use it." Spend time visualizing many colors and objects before moving on. Different mediums or channelers use a variety of exercises to fall deeper and allow the subconscious to take over. This is an important way of getting more in touch with the world of the unseen, and can be quite exhilarating when you re-emerge from your trance state. Fall from a ladder into space. Visualize yourself climbing a ladder in darkness. Your body should be warm and comfortable. Climb the ladder for a while and then let go of the ladder. Feel yourself falling away. If you become dizzy or disoriented, focus on your body consciousness until you regain comfort and warmth. Take an elevator down. Some practitioners find success visualizing an elevator that's traveling down the wall of an endless rock face. Imagine an elevator with a glass door that allows you to see out: on three sides there is darkness, but on one side there is a rocky cliff with crags and tiny imperfections. Visualize them as closely as possible and continue traveling down ever farther. Personalize your fall. There's no right way to visualize, so do what feels comfortable for you. Some channelers like to visualize themselves as a falling feather, a ring of smoke, or as climbing down a long rope. | 8 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

An illegal immigrant was caught hanging on to the underside of a horse box transporting an Olympic gold medal-winning racehorse from Calais to Dover. The man was found clinging to the chassis of the horse box carrying Valegro, which won gold with rider Charlotte Dujardin at the London Olympics in 2012. Police with sniffer dogs caught the man, who had chosen the largest and most accessible vehicle in the queue, as the vehicle was readying to return to England after an event in Norway. Scroll down for video. Stowaway: An illegal immigrant was caught hanging on to the horse box carrying Valegro, pictured, which won gold with rider Charlotte Dujardin in dressage at the London Olympics in 2012, pictured above. Groom Alan Davies said: 'We had queued at a manned booth to check in for the train, with just a couple of cars in front of us, and after checking in we were told to pull over once we'd gone through the barrier. 'I thought they just wanted to check the gas was off as they do on the trains, but security came over and looked under the lorry. They then said: "There's someone under there". 'They'd seen him on CCTV waiting around and when he'd disappeared they became suspicious.' Mr Davies said that he was shocked by what happened as he had taken precautions to guard against stowaways. If a trucker is caught with migrants in his vehicle when on British soil it is the driver, not the company, who is liable for a £2,000 fine. He told Horse & Hound: 'We were allowed to go – but if I'd gone through any further then I would've been fined. 'I've seen migrants hanging around in groups before, it was a big shock.' Valegro, who won Olympic gold at the London Games in 2012, had been returning from a demonstration event in Norway on Wednesday October 22. Dangerous: Police with sniffer dogs caught the man as the vehicle was readying to return to England after an event in Norway. Above, migrants in Calais try to jump on to a lorry before it crosses the Channel. Migrants are flocking to Calais in increasing numbers this year, with up to 2,000 people living in makeshift shelters as they wait to cross the English channel. The impoverished conditions in the port city has lead Natacha Bouchart, the mayor of Calais, to announce a new refuge for migrants, likened by many to the infamous Red Cross camp at Sangatte. The failed camp acted as a base of operations for many trying to cross in the UK before it was closed in 2002. French authorities insist they have been left with few options after fighting between migrant groups lead to 70 people being injured this summer, while people have also been targeted by criminals. Just last month a crew aboard a P&O ferry were forced to turn a firehose on a crowd of around 250 people as they tried to force their way on to the boat. Suspicious: Police had seen the migrant on CCTV as he waited near the queue of vehicles and went to investigate when he disappeared. Above, desperate migrants try to board a truck from Calais to England. The lorry driver who filmed the chaotic attempt to board the ferry, bound for Dover, described Calais as a 'war zone' saying the situation was at its worst for 20 years. A Home Office spokesman said: 'The security of the border is a priority and we are working at European and international level to address the wider problem of illegal migration. 'We have increased joint intelligence work with the French to target the organised crime gangs behind smuggling and people trafficking. 'These criminals are constantly modifying their tactics in an attempt to evade strengthened border controls and we are seeing increasingly dangerous methods being used, including the use of sealed or refrigerated vehicles. 'We warn those who are tempted to put their lives in the hands of organised criminals that they are putting themselves and their families at risk. If people have a genuine need of protection they should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach.' British dressage rider Carl Hester MBE, part of the 2012 team, tweeted: 'Valegro arrived safely back at Folkestone unlike the illegal immigrant found underneath the lorry!'

Plant peppermint in your garden to repel bees. Sprinkle cinnamon over your plants every day for a week to deter bees. Wash your ledges with soapy water and mint to keep bees from nesting. Leave the bees alone if they aren’t a bother and there’s no hive.
Article: | Bees tend to stay away from peppermint. Plant some peppermint seedlings in your garden in the spring. Place your peppermint plants at least 5 feet (1.5 m) from the flowers that seem to attract the bees. Any bees that wander into your garden will smell the peppermint and stay away from your plants. There is some evidence that marigolds will work as well, although some species really enjoy pollinating marigolds. Cinnamon is also a great natural bee repellent. Once a day, sprinkle a liberal amount of cinnamon around the plants in your garden. The amount of cinnamon you use depends on the size of your garden, but you’ll probably go through at least 1 container a day for a standard-sized home. Do this for 1-2 weeks to let nearby bees know this isn’t a good area for pollination, and the bees will stop coming back to your garden. You don’t need to work the cinnamon into the soil. It’s fine to simply let it rest on top of plants and dirt. Get a ladder, bucket, and sponge. Fill the bucket halfway with water and add 1-2 squirts of dish soap. Then, sprinkle a handful of mint leaves into the water. Enlist a friend to hold the ladder for you. Wash the ledges of your roof with the minty-soap to keep bees away. If your roof is flat, pour the remaining soap and water on your roof and spread it around with a broom or large sponge. This will keep bees from setting up a colony in your chimney, roof, or garden. The odor from the mint and soap will linger for a while, and the bees that seem to be frequenting your home will look for somewhere else to set up shop. If you look thoroughly and can’t find a hive, it’s possible that the colony doesn’t live nearby. If this is the case, you can probably leave the bees alone since they’re only in your garden for the pollen. Bees are incredibly good for the environment, and if you don’t need to destroy or remove the hive, simply leave it be. If you live in an area where the temperature gets below 50 °F (10 °C) during the winter months, the hive may leave on their own. You may be able to simply wait them out. | 8 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Moscow has repeatedly denied claims by Kiev that it has sent troops and weapons over the border into Ukraine, where the Ukrainian military is fighting pro-Russian rebels.

Henderson last won in 2012-13 - the only season in the past 11 in which rival Paul Nicholls has not triumphed.
"It is a championship and it's there to be fought for. There are no prizes for finishing second," said Henderson.
Meanwhile, Irish jump racing's champion trainer Willie Mullins narrowly retained his crown.
He staged a late surge to beat rival Gordon Elliott, who held the lead in the prizemoney-decided title race until the Mullins team - winners for the last nine seasons- landed three races at Punchestown on Saturday.
Bapaume's success under jockey Ruby Walsh in the Champion Four Year Old Hurdle sealed it.
Elliott had struck an early blow when even-money favourite Apple's Jade ran out a wide-margin winner of the Mares Champion Hurdle.
BBC horse racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght:
What a fantastic performance by Mullins to grab victory from the jaws of apparent defeat.
Elliott still held a sizeable advantage as recently as Tuesday when the valuable Punchestown Festival got underway, and then plenty of results went against Mullins.
But, even as the proverbial Fat Lady was clearing her throat, he staged a pretty remarkable eve-of-final-day recovery.
Retaining the championship is all the more creditable considering the stable lost 60 horses in a row with airline boss Michael O'Leary last September - many to Elliott - and others to injury.
And it was a fabulous day in more ways than one for Nicky Henderson. Not only did he win the trainers' title again - and to demonstrate his longevity this fourth one came 31 years after the first - but furthermore Altior indicated that he can indeed be the new Sprinter Sacre for the Henderson team.
A good old fashioned British/Irish showdown between Altior and a hopefully-back-to-his-brilliant-best Douvan at next season's Cheltenham Festival is already being anticipated.
At Sandown, meanwhile, Henllan Harri took a surprise win in the Bet365 Gold Cup in a thrilling finish.
The 40-1 shot, trained by Peter Bowen and ridden by his son, Sean, made most of the running and held on from the Henderson-trained Vyta Du Roc, with Theatre Guide third.
"It's a tough game and, to be fair, we have been consistent over the last few years and we've second to Paul four or five times," said Henderson.
"I don't think I'm coming to the end of it, I will keep going as long as everybody wants me to."
The popular Menorah, trained by Philip Hobbs, was retired after winning the Oaksey Chase at Sandown for the fourth successive year.

Background: Adam Carolla was born in Los Angeles County, California. His mother's maiden name was McCall. His parents separated when Adam was young. Carolla was not given a middle name by his parents; on his driver's license application he listed his middle name as "Lakers" as a joke.
Context: On February 21, 2009, a day after his Los Angeles-based morning radio show was canceled -- as part of a format change at KLSX-FM -- CBS ordered a comedy pilot starring the actor/comedian. Ace in the Hole was to star Carolla as a husband and father who works as a driving instructor. Carolla created and wrote the pilot with Kevin Hench ("Jimmy Kimmel Live!"). Carolla stated that Pamela Adlon was to play his wife and Windell Middlebrooks of the Miller High Life commercial fame will play his best friend. During his March 30, 2009, podcast, Carolla briefly described the show as being "All in the Family, essentially", with Carolla playing a similar role to that of Archie Bunker. On the July 23, 2009, episode of the Adam Carolla Podcast, Carolla announced that CBS was not picking up the pilot for the 2009 season, "in any way, shape or form." On October 22, 2009, it was reported in Variety that Carolla had struck a deal with NBC to produce a half-hour pilot for a sitcom. The report was later confirmed on January 4, 2010, and was the first comedy pilot ordered by NBC for the season. The untitled project, written by Carolla and Kevin Hench, was a single-camera endeavor that starred Carolla as a contractor and father who attempts to rebuild his life after his wife leaves him. Carolla was set to executive produce the NBC project along with frequent collaborators Kimmel and Hench, as well as his agent James "Babydoll" Dixon, Jon Pollack from 30 Rock, Gail Berman, Daniel Kellison, and Lloyd Braun. Universal Media Studios, BermanBraun, and Carolla and Jimmy Kimmel's own Jackhole Industries. On the February 13, 2010 episode of Carolla's CarCast podcast, he broke the news that The History Channel had picked up Top Gear US, which NBC had decided against in 2008. On the March 26, 2010, episode of CarCast, Carolla said that he would not be co-hosting Top Gear US because of scheduling conflicts with his NBC sitcom project. In June 2010, Carolla said that his NBC pilot had not been picked up and was now "dead." Premiering on February 19, 2012, Carolla was also one of the contestants in the 12th season of NBC's The Celebrity Apprentice. He was fired in Week 4, because Trump perceived that Carolla did not utilize Andretti's car background during a Buick presentation, even though it was clear that Andretti did not like public speaking.

Argh, what a disappointment. Having read through the list of raving reviews and listening to the concierge's recommendations, I thought that this would be the killer place to spend our last evening in Montreal. Instead, it killed the good vibe! Ok, so we sat down ok and had a nice introduction to the restaurant. Staff was pleasant enough. A bit disengaged but not to a degree that was unbearable. I started with a lovely butternut squash bisque. That was quite good. The wife had a mesculun salad that had a grotesque, sloppy presentation (a large bunch of leaves bound together in a completely inconvenient mass too difficult to truly address) ... That had to be sent back. She had a mushroom risotto that was quite nice. I had a veal dish that was forgettable, to be honest. She had a 'Pinot noir' that was, at best, a top choice at Olive Garden. I had a cab that, without exaggeration, smelled like hard boiled eggs. To top if off, something caught fire in the kitchen, so service came to a stan still for the entire place. The entire restaurant had a haze to it. No apologies from management for the smell or for the fact that dinner took two hours....Available choices:

Helloween are a German power metal band founded in 1984 in Hamburg, Northern Germany by members of bands Iron Fist and Gentry. Its first line-up consisted of singer and rhythm guitarist Kai Hansen, bass guitarist Markus Grosskopf, lead guitarist Michael Weikath, and drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg. After the release of a self-titled EP and their debut album Walls of Jericho in 1985, it expanded into a quintet with the addition of singer Michael Kiske, Hansen choosing to focus on guitar instead. Under this line-up, they released the Keeper of the Seven Keys albums (1987 and 1988), which established Helloween as a notable heavy metal band and led to the creation of the power metal subgenre.
Guitarist Kai Hansen unexpectedly left the band in 1989 soon after the European leg of the Keeper of the Seven Keys: Part II tour, due to ill-health, conflicts within the band, troubles with Noise International, and a growing dissatisfaction with life on tour. Weikath chose his friend Roland Grapow to replace him, including for the rest of the tour. Grapow, who was a car mechanic at the time, stated in 2017 that, if Weikath had not happened to ask him to join the band, he would have kept his job and given up on his dream of becoming a professional musician. In 1989, the band released a live album called Live in the U.K. (Keepers Live in Japan and I Want Out Live in the United States), featuring material from its 1988 European tour. The remaining members continued on but ran into label problems with Noise, and after litigation kept them from touring and releasing new material, they were eventually released from their contract. A new album would not appear until 1991 when, after several rumors about the band breaking up, they released Pink Bubbles Go Ape for their new record company, EMI. The album was less heavy and, with song titles such as "Heavy Metal Hamsters", "I'm Doing Fine, Crazy Man", and "Shit and Lobster", showed a shift toward - and an emphasis on - humor rather than the epic moods on previous releases. As a result, Pink Bubbles Go Ape failed both commercially and critically, and tensions started to build amongst the band members. The pop-influenced follow-up Chameleon was released in 1993. Instead of taking a heavier approach, the band ventured into new territory, eschewing its signature double-guitar harmonies for synthesizers, horns, acoustic guitars, a children's chorus, country music, and swing. As with the previous album, Chameleon failed commercially and critically. Tensions within Helloween worsened, and the band split into three factions, with Michael Kiske and Ingo Schwichtenberg on one side, Michael Weikath and Roland Grapow on the other, and Markus Grosskopf in the middle, trying to keep peace between the four men. Shortly after, the band began to disintegrate. During the Chameleon tour, the band would often play to half-filled venues. Drummer Ingo Schwichtenberg fell ill due to mental and drug-related issues, and was eventually fired, replaced by session drummer Ritchie Abdel-Nabi. Meanwhile, the conflicts within the rest of the band worsened, with Michael Weikath refusing to work any longer with Michael Kiske. The decision was made to fire Kiske. Since his firing, Kiske has not spoken positively about Helloween. In May 2008, Kiske released Past in Different Ways; an album featuring most of his old Helloween songs, albeit rearranged and re-recorded acoustically. Commenting on Kiske's dismissal, Grosskopf later said: In addition to the firing of Kiske, Abdel-Nabi, whose inability to replicate Schwichtenberg's machine-gun style of drumming hindered Helloween's ability to play live fan-favorites like "Eagle Fly Free" and "How Many Tears", was let go by the band. 1993 would come to a close for Helloween with no singer, no drummer, and no record contract (EMI released the band from its agreement for the low sales numbers for Pink Bubbles Go Ape and Chameleon).

Javier Pedro Saviola Fernandez (Spanish pronunciation: [xa'bjer 'pedro sa'bjola fer'nandes]; born 11 December 1981) is a retired Argentine professional footballer who played as a forward. Known for his speed, dribbling and ability to score from almost any attacking position on the field, he represented both Barcelona and Real Madrid and was named as the youngest player on Pele's FIFA 100 list of the 125 greatest living footballers in 2004. Due to his ancestry he also holds Spanish nationality since 2004, and he amassed La Liga totals of 196 games and 70 goals over the course of eight seasons; he started and finished his career at River Plate. An Argentine international for seven years, Saviola represented his country at the 2006 World Cup and the 2004 Copa America, where his team reached the final.
In 2001, aged 19, Saviola moved abroad to play for FC Barcelona in a PS15 million transfer. He obtained Spanish citizenship shortly after, thereby not being restricted by the Spanish league maximum on the number of non-European Union citizens allowed in each club. Under coach Carles Rexach, he scored 17 goals in his first season, finishing joint-fourth top scorer in La Liga. Saviola's second year at the club did not start well, as he only scored two goals in the first half of the season. When Van Gaal was fired and Radomir Antic became the new Barcelona manager, he went on to net 11 goals in the latter half of the campaign; at the start of the following season Frank Rijkaard was appointed as new manager, and the player scored 14 times in the league alone, but was deemed surplus at the club as longtime offensive partner Patrick Kluivert. Saviola was sent on loan in the summer of 2004, moving to AS Monaco FC in Ligue 1. As he did not fit into Rijkaard's plans he was again loaned out the following year, this time to Spanish club Sevilla FC, in order to replace Real Madrid-bound Julio Baptista; with his new club he won his first title in Europe, conquering the UEFA Cup -- he also scored nine times in the league, good enough for fifth. Saviola returned to Barcelona for the 2006-07 season, playing in 18 league games, six as a starter, and netting five goals. He benefited greatly from injuries to teammates, most notably to Samuel Eto'o, and added five in as many matches in that season's Copa del Rey, notably a hat-trick against Deportivo Alaves (3-2 win at home, 5-2 aggregate).

Either format is appropriate for a formal business letter. Full block format means that all elements of the letter are left-justified so that the start of each line is at the left-hand margin. Modified block format means that some elements of the letter are shifted over to the right. At the top of the page, on either the left corner (if using full block format) or the right corner (if using modified block format) write out your address. If applicable, also include your e-mail address and cell phone number. On the left side of the page, directly beneath your address, write the date of the day you are writing the letter. The date should be placed on the left regardless of whether you are using full block or modified block format. Write the date in word rather than number form, as in June 8, 2015 instead of 6/8/15. Allow for two spaces beneath the date. On the left side of the page, two spaces beneath the date, write your attorney's full name and address. Your attorney's name and address should be placed on the left regardless of whether you are using full block or modified block format. If there is a paralegal that is working on your specific case, you may wish to write to include it in parenthesis next to the attorney's name. Beneath your attorney's name and address, on the left hand side, include a subject line referencing your case number. Highlight the subject line in bold so that it appears prominently on the page. If you don't have a case number, write out your name (or the name of the main client on the case) in the subject line. This will help the attorney and the attorney's staff locate your file. By way of introduction, write out a phrase greeting your attorney by his last name. For example: "Dear Mr. Jones" or "Dear Ms. Fisher" Position the greeting on the left side of the page. Follow the greeting with a colon, i.e. "Dear Ms. Fisher:" If you have already prepared a draft of the letter, simply insert the text of that draft. Lead with the main purpose of your letter and then explain the reasons for your question or request. Be specific when referencing relevant information including names, dates and places. The more information you include, the better your attorney will be able to assist you. Keep to one main topic per paragraph, even if you have several issues to discuss in the letter. End the letter in two or three sentences as politely as you can, even if your letter to your attorney is a complaint about the service you have received. End the letter with an appropriate closing phrase. "Sincerely" is an example of an appropriate closing phrase. Place a comma after the closing phrase (i.e. "Sincerely,"). The closing should be aligned with your address. If you are using full block format, place it on the left side. If you are using modified block format, place it on the right. After your closing phrase, write out your full name. Align your name on the same side as your closing phrase. If you are using full block format, place it on the left side. If you are using modified block format, place it on the right. Insert several blank lines between your closing phrase and your name. Print out the letter, then use a blue or black pen to sign your name between the closing (i.e. "Sincerely") and your full name typed name. Print an extra copy of the letter to keep for your personal records. That way, if the letter gets lost in the mail or your attorney denies having received it, you will have proof that you sent it.
Summary: | Decide whether to follow "full block" or "modified block" format. Write your address. Write the date. Insert your attorney's name and address. Reference your case number.

It's a place no one had heard of a year ago but now finds itself at the center of the news cycle, at the center of our national attention and at the center of a new and profound sense of worry that racial injustice may long divide us still.

Athens, Greece (CNN) -- Greek police have arrested the captain of a U.S. ship whose passengers and crew had hoped to help lead a Gaza-bound flotilla aimed at challenging Israel's maritime blockade of the Palestinian territory. John Klusmire, an American citizen and captain of The Audacity of Hope, was asked to report to a police station Saturday morning, said Jane Hirschmann, an American who is one of the flotilla organizers. A spokesperson with the Greek Coast Guard, who was not named per custom, confirmed Klusmire's arrest. The reason given was that he had left the mainland without permission and put passengers in danger. He will appear before Greek prosecutors on Tuesday.
Eventually, the ship returned to Greece, where it is now tied up at a

Photographs of British war hero Field Marshal Montgomery returning to the scene of his greatest victory 25 years later have emerged for sale. The candid images show Montgomery as an old man setting foot at El Alamein in Egypt to mark the anniversary of the Allies' first major triumph against Germans in World War Two. The famous British general, affectionately known as Monty, led an army of more than 200,000 in 1942 and emerged victorious. Historic trip: Field Marshal Montgomery, aged 80, climbs into a Wessex helicopter as he returns to El Alamein, in Egypt, in 1967, 25 years after the famous World War II battle. Famous return: Field Marshal Montgomery led an army of 200,000 in the battle in 1942. The pictures were taken by acclaimed war photographer Don McCullin. The victory marked a major turning point of the war as it revived moral in the flagging troops. In 1967 Montgomery, then aged 80, returned to the desert to visit the scene of the Battle of El Alamein and pay his respects to the thousands of men who died. His trip was covered in a magazine article at the time and appeared in a book about the battle. Decorated: Field Marshal Montgomery, who died in 1980. A selection of the photos of him taken by acclaimed war photographer Don McCullin have surfaced 46 years after the moving visit. The. images portray Montgomery as an elderly man meeting the top brass of. the Egyptian Army while surrounded by a scrum of photographers. He is also seen having to be helped into a Wessex helicopter. The photos are part of an archive belonging to the late journalist Derek Jewell, organiser of the Alamein trip, which also includes a series of letters from the war general and a signed copy of his memoirs. In the correspondence, Montgomery thanks Jewell for organising the trip, stating 'the way you carried out the preliminary reconnaissance, and then organised and controlled the actual visit, was beyond all praise'. A personal note to Jewell in the front of Montgomery's memoirs said he was 'a chief of staff par excellence under such conditions' and is signed 'Montgomery of Alamein'. The collection was passed down through Jewell's family following his death in 1985. It is expected to fetch £8,000 when it goes under the hammer at auction tomorrow. John Black, of auctioneers Sworders of. Essex, said: 'To mark the 25th anniversary of the Battle of Alamein,. Derek Jewell organised for Field Marshal Montgomery to return to the. site of the battle. 'It was. no mean feat - by that point Monty was a frail old man. He was. incredibly stubborn and he always liked to have his own way. Battle: An explosion at El Alamein whiche ended in the victory of the British Eighth Army commanded by Montgomery over Rommel's Afrika Korps. It proved to be the turning point in the war in Africa. The Battle of El Alamein was widely hailed as one of the turning points in the Second World War. More than 4,000 Allied servicemen lost their lives and almost 9,000 were wounded in the combat that saw General Sir Bernard Montgomery's troops defeat German general Erwin Rommel's Afrika Korps. Under the command of Montgomery, nearly 200,000 British, Australian, New Zealand, South African, British Indian, Free French and Greek forces defeated the Axis powers. At the time of the battle, which began on October 23, 1942 and ended on November 4, the Allies were fighting to keep their vital supply lines open from the Mediterranean to the East. Rommel had inflicted heavy defeats on Allied forces in Africa, forcing them back to the village of El Alamein, about 60 miles west of Alexandria. Finally, on October 23 General Montgomery ordered a counter-attack with almost 900 guns levelled at the German positions to be discharged at once. While previously the Suez Canal was threatened, and with it Allied access to the rich oilfields of the Middle East, now the Allies were able to press their advantage and eventually push the Germans and Italians out of Africa. Recalling the importance of the Allied victory at the Battle of El Alamein, Sir Winston Churchill said: 'Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.' The Battle of Stalingrad between the Germans and the Soviets in 1942-43, and the Battle of Midway between the US and Japan, are also regarded as key turning points in the war. Famous British General: Field Marshal Montgomery shakes hands with Winston Churchill in London after the war. Poignant return: The candid images show Montgomery as an old man setting foot at El Alamein in Egypt to mark the anniversary of the Allies' first major triumph against Germans in World War Two. Emotional return: FM Montgomery (left) with Derek Jewell in El Alamein in 1967. War hero: A signed picture of Field Marshal Montgomery which is set to go under the hammer at auction. Elderly: Field Marshal Montgomery is helped into his helicopter after returning to the scene of his greatest victory at the age of 80. Handwritten note: This hand written two-page note was produced by Field. Marshal Montgomery to coincide with his 1967 trip back to the. battlefield. It is part of the consignment of pictures and documents. which are being auctioned tomorrow. The whole lot is expected to fetch. £8,000. Note: FM Montgomery's leter to Derek Jewell about his visit back to the battlefield. Under the hammer: Another letter written by FM Montgomery in 1967 about his visit back to the site where the battle was fought. 'But he and Jewell got on incredibly well and the trip to Alamein started a very dear friendship between them. 'War photographer Don McCullin was the photographer assigned to capture the visit on camera. 'The photos that came out of the trip are quiet poignant. After they returned, Monty wrote a lovely letter to Derek thanking him for organising the trip. 'This collection provides a moving snapshot of one of Britain's best loved war heroes.' After El Alamein, Montgomery went on to help mastermind the D-Day invasion in Normandy in June 1944. He died in March 1976 in Alton, Hants, aged 88. Bloody battle: British soldiers in action at El Alamein, in Egypt, in 1942. The famous British victory was a major turning point in World War II.

Sir Pelham Grenville Wodehouse (; 15 October 1881 - 14 February 1975) was an English author and one of the most widely read humorists of the 20th century. Born in Guildford, the son of a British magistrate based in Hong Kong, Wodehouse spent happy teenage years at Dulwich College, to which he remained devoted all his life. After leaving school, he was employed by a bank but disliked the work and turned to writing in his spare time.
There had been films of Wodehouse stories since 1915, when A Gentleman of Leisure was based on his 1910 novel of the same name. Further screen adaptations of his books were made between then and 1927, but it was not until 1929 that Wodehouse went to Hollywood where Bolton was working as a highly paid writer for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM). Ethel was taken with both the financial and social aspects of Hollywood life, and she negotiated a contract with MGM on her husband's behalf under which he would be paid $2,000 a week. This large salary was particularly welcome because the couple had lost considerable sums in the Wall Street Crash of 1929. The contract started in May 1930, but the studio found little for Wodehouse to do, and he had spare time to write a novel and nine short stories. He commented, "It's odd how soon one comes to look on every minute as wasted that is given to earning one's salary." Even when the studio found a project for him to work on, the interventions of committees and constant rewriting by numerous contract authors meant that his ideas were rarely used. In a 2005 study of Wodehouse in Hollywood, Brian Taves writes that Those Three French Girls (1930) was "as close to a success as Wodehouse was to have at MGM. His only other credits were minimal, and the other projects he worked on were not produced." Wodehouse's contract ended after a year and was not renewed. At MGM's request, he gave an interview to The Los Angeles Times. Wodehouse was described by Herbert Warren Wind as "politically naive [and] fundamentally unworldly," and he caused a sensation by saying publicly what he had already told his friends privately about Hollywood's inefficiency, arbitrary decision-making, and waste of expensive talent. The interview was reprinted in The New York Times, and there was much editorial comment about the state of the film industry. Many writers have considered that the interview precipitated a radical overhaul of the studio system, but Taves believes it to have been "a storm in a teacup", and Donaldson comments that, in the straitened post-crash era, the reforms would have been inevitable. Wind's view of Wodehouse's naivete is not universally held. Some biographers suggest that his unworldliness was only part of a complex character, and that in some respects he was highly astute. He was unsparing of the studio owners in his early-1930s short stories set in Hollywood, which contain what Taves considers Wodehouse's sharpest and most biting satire.

In the United States, new pharmaceutical products must be approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) as being both safe and effective. This process generally involves submission of an Investigational New Drug filing with sufficient pre-clinical data to support proceeding with human trials. Following IND approval, three phases of progressively larger human clinical trials may be conducted. Phase I generally studies toxicity using healthy volunteers. Phase II can include pharmacokinetics and dosing in patients, and Phase III is a very large study of efficacy in the intended patient population. Following the successful completion of phase III testing, a New Drug Application is submitted to the FDA. The FDA review the data and if the product is seen as having a positive benefit-risk assessment, approval to market the product in the US is granted.

What Chinese women want: Pale skin, big eyes - and a pointy chin
BEIJING — Pale skin. Big eyes. A narrow jaw. For many young Chinese women, that's the ideal.
For a story about Meitu, a Chinese company that makes some of the world's most popular beauty apps, the Post's Beijing bureau talked to women about the pressure to be beautiful — and to post beautiful pictures.
[Tell us: What do you think of beauty standards in China?]
Our poll was not scientific; we stopped women in one of the capital's glitziest shopping districts, Sanlitun, and asked them to share their thoughts and take a selfie.
We also asked them if they use apps to "beautify" their snaps before posting. Most said they did. In fact, one woman, Wang Mingyue, 19, declined to take a picture on the spot, preferring to send a selfie that she edited at home. "Looking fake, not like the real you, that's my standard," she said.
Several women we met mentioned the growing popularity of plastic surgery. A 2016 report by HSBC argued that a desire to look good in pictures was fueling the boom. Rising incomes and a widening gender pay gap may also play a role — women have more money, but are losing ground to men in salary growth so looks and marriage are more important than ever.
A recent middle school graduate, Liu Yuqing, 15, said her classmates' talk about getting injections or going under the knife to change their face shape. They also wear colored contact lenses to school, she said.
"Some have injections to make their faces smaller," she said.
"I think one's personality is more important."
While nearly everyone acknowledged the pressure to stay thin, pale and fashionably groomed, many told us they were basically "over" the mainstream look. "You have to be thin and have a small face with a pointy chin," said Tiffany Wang, 18. "But I don't like that."
"I think healthy is beautiful, no matter if you are fat or thin."
Of course, you could swap "pale skin" for "perfect tan" and "thin" for "toned" and be talking to women in the United States. Many women feel they must strive to look (and dress, and act, and speak ...) a certain way. The focus on female beauty is constant, even though standards vary from place to place.
China's current beauty trends are particularly striking given the country's recent history. The great-grandmothers, grandmothers and mothers of today's young women grew up in a different world, coming of age during war, the chaos of the Cultural Revolution, or the lean years that followed.
Lin Shufen, a 66-year-old retiree, said she can scarcely believe what she sees on the streets of Beijing these days. When she was a young, women wore plain clothing that allowed them to toil in fields or factories. They tied their hair in long, thick braids.
"Back in my day, a woman had to be strong and well-built. You had to be able to labor, and you couldn't be too absorbed in your looks," she said.
"These days, girls are different, they all want to be thin," she said.
Despite real progress, China women may be losing ground

Summarize this article:
You may think that fighting fire with fire is the best approach when it comes to snobs, but the worst thing you can do is try to stoop down to their level. If a snobby person in your circle is going on and on about his fancy vacation to Milan, there’s no point in trying to point out that you’ve been there, too, or that you prefer France over Italy. This will only make the snob more determined to prove you wrong and to show that his way of life is far superior to yours. Instead, hear the person out without feeling the need to show that what you’re doing is superior or that you’re also pretty cool in some other way. Though it can be tempting to point out how expensive your handbag, wine, or painting are, it’s just not worth it. The snob can never be out-snobbed, and you’ll only be making yourself look bad while alienating the non-snobs around you in the process. You may feel like it’s easier for you to breathe underwater than it is to be nice to a snobby person. Still, when you’re faced with a mean, sour-faced, and generally unpleasant person, sometimes the best thing you can do is to smile and say, “Hi, how are you?” The snob may even be taken aback because he’s not used to being treated so nicely and may surprise you by being kind back. If being nice to the snob doesn’t yield a nice result, then you can at least tell yourself that you tried everything before deciding that the person really is stuck-up. If the snob insists on acting like you don’t exist, you can even cheerily say, “Hi!” followed by the snob’s name when he walks by. This will catch him off guard — and hey, it may make you chuckle. Don’t let a snob make you feel inferior or like you don’t know anything about anything. If you waver in your ideas or doubt yourself, that will only fuel the fire and give the snob free reign to make you feel terrible about yourself. If you’re insecure, slow to respond, or talk softly because you’re afraid of sharing your ideas, then the snob will latch right onto that and will only make you feel worse. Instead, speak in a steady, even voice and use facts to back up your ideas, showing that you’re not afraid to state your ideas. It’s one thing if you really aren’t an expert on something and the snob tries to gently educate you, but another if you’re talking about something you feel confident about. Don’t let a snob make you doubt how many championships the Lakers have if you’re positive you know the answer; however, if a snob who spent ten years making wine tells you something you didn’t know about pinot noir, it’s okay to listen if you’re not being condescended to. Remember that part about not stooping to their level? The thing about snobs is that they not only have really strong opinions, but that they don’t like to have them challenged. Sinking to their level will only make them more sure about their own opinions, and will make them simply annoyed that you would engage with them. Since they’re used to arguing and being snobby, they’ll fight back and will make fun of your taste twice as hard, and that’s something you want to avoid. Instead of saying that the snob has terrible taste, you can just mention something you like instead in a kind fashion. You can say something like, “Well, I haven’t seen Sherlock, but I really love True Detective. Have you checked it out?” This works far better than saying something like, “That show is for losers. True Detective is the best show out there and everyone knows it.” If you’re forced to spend a lot of time with a snobby person, or even call one of these people a friend because you like other things about him or her, then it may be time to bring up the behavior to see if the person is capable of changing. You shouldn’t come right out and say that the person is a snob, but you can try saying something like, “You know, you tend to make it sound like you think your way of doing things is always the right way. It hurts my feelings.” Though this won’t be easy to say, this may help the person change, if he’s willing to do so. If you’re afraid of using yourself as an example, you can say something like, “You really hurt Ashley’s feelings when you told her her shoes looked cheap. I don’t think comments like that are very helpful.” Another way to deal with snobby people is simply to show them that you’re impervious to their insults. If they make fun of you, call something of yours inferior, or just clearly go out of their way to make you and the people around you feel small, then you should make sure not to flinch or respond when they’re being mean, or even to roll your eyes if necessary. If the snob wants to start a fight about craft beers, just shrug and disengage. Show that you’re happy with who you are and that no snob can change that. If you find yourself on the brink of tears, just excuse yourself and step out for a minute or say you have to take a quick phone call. Don’t let them see how upset you are. Don’t waste your time complaining about them to others, either. It’ll get back to them and will only give them power.
Summary: | Don’t compete with them. Kill them with kindness. Maintain your confidence. Don’t make fun of their taste. Talk to them about the behavior if you know them well enough. Let them see that they can’t hurt you. | 2 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Unless we value fairness, reciprocity, and honest dealing, and the concept of balances -- for debt and credit depend on them -- and unless we are able to trust our systems, we would not be able to have debt and credit -- no one would lend, because there would be no expectation of ever getting paid back. What caused the massive financial mess we are in comes back ultimately to these concepts. The rules were too loose, fairness and honest dealing were violated, the balance was upset. We must now restore trust so people will take their pennies out of the sock under the mattress where they are now inclined to store them. In my part of the world we have a ritual interchange that goes like this:. First person: "Lovely weather we're having." Second person: "We'll pay for it later." My part of the world being Canada, where there is a great deal of weather, we always do pay for it later. One person has commented, "That's not Canadian, it's just Presbyterian." Nevertheless, it's a widespread saying among us. What this ritual interchange reveals is a larger habit of thinking about the more enjoyable things in life: They're only on loan or acquired on credit, and sooner or later the date when they must be paid for will roll around. It's pay-up time. Or payback time, supposing that you haven't paid up. In any case, the time when whatever is on one side of the balance is weighed against whatever is on the other side -- whether it's your heart, your soul or your debts -- and the final reckoning is made. The financial world has recently been shaken as a result of the collapse of a debt pyramid involving something called "subprime mortgages" -- a pyramid scheme that most people don't grasp very well, but that boils down to the fact that some large financial institutions peddled mortgages to people who could not possibly pay the monthly rates and then put this snake-oil debt into cardboard boxes with impressive labels on them and sold them to institutions and hedge funds that thought they were worth something. A friend of mine from the United States writes: "I used to have three banks and a mortgage company. Bank number one bought the other two and is now trying hard to buy the mortgage company, which is bankrupt, only it was revealed this morning that the last bank standing is also in serious trouble. "Now they are trying to renegotiate with the mortgage company. Question One: If your company is going broke, why would you want to buy a company whose insolvency is front-page news? Question Two: If all the lenders go broke, will the borrowers get off the hook? "You can't imagine the chagrin of the credit-loving American. I gather that whole neighborhoods in the Midwest look like neighborhoods in my hometown, empty houses with knee-high grass and vines growing over them and no one willing to admit they actually own the place. Down we go, about to reap what we sow." Which has a nice biblical ring to it, but still we scratch our heads. How and why did this happen? The answer I hear quite often -- "greed" -- may be accurate enough, but it doesn't go very far toward unveiling the deeper mysteries of the process. What is this "debt" by which we're so bedeviled? Like air, it's all around us, but we never think about it unless something goes wrong with the supply. Certainly it's a thing we've come to feel is indispensable to our collective buoyancy. In good times we float around on it as if on a helium-filled balloon; we rise higher and higher, and the balloon gets bigger and bigger, until -- poof! -- some killjoy sticks a pin into it and we sink. But what is the nature of that pin? Another friend of mine used to maintain that airplanes stayed up in the air only because people believed -- against reason -- that they could fly: Without that collective delusion sustaining them, they would instantly plummet to earth. Is "debt" similar? In other words, perhaps debt exists because we imagine it. Another part of the human imaginative debt/credit structure has to do with payback time -- the time when you have to pay the debt back, or else suffer the consequences. All major religions have extended this structure to the afterlife, where, if you haven't righted the moral balances on earth, you must do so after death. There are no clocks in heaven. Nor are there any in hell. In both, everything is always now. Or so goes the rumor. In heaven, there are no debts -- all have been paid, one way or another -- but in hell there's nothing but debts, and a great deal of payment is exacted, though you can't ever get all paid up. You have to pay, and pay, and keep on paying. Hell is like an infernal maxed-out credit card that multiplies the charges endlessly. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the writer.

Answer based on context:
After speculation of where the game would be played due to the California wildfires, it was confirmed on October 26, 2007 that Qualcomm Stadium would be discontinued as an evacuation site for San Diego residents (with most of the evacuees moved to Del Mar). Before, sites in the Phoenix area were being considered to host the game, as well as Houston's Reliant Stadium, and also the Dallas Cowboys' Texas Stadium. Before the game a special tribute was paid to at the stadium for the fire fighters, National Guard, and volunteers who assisted in fighting the fires and helping the evacuees. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger attended the game and flipped the coin, which the Chargers won. With an emotional charge from both the players and fans, as well as some victims, the Chargers played one of the best games of their season. Philip Rivers threw 3 touchdown passes despite only throwing 11 passes. Two TDs went to tight end Antonio Gates, and the remainder went to newly acquired wideout Chris Chambers, who was just traded from the Miami Dolphins a two weeks earlier and played his first game as a Charger (due to San Diego's bye week). However, that performance was second to second-year corner Antonio Cromartie, who performance included two interceptions, and two defensive touchdowns. He had a 70-yard INT return for a score, and the other was a complicated snap where the Texans snapped the ball over punter Matt Turk's head, and the ball fell into the end zone. Quickly having to recover, Turk missed grabbing the ball and it fell into the hands of Cromartie, easily scoring. The Chargers won, 35-10 in a home blowout, which was, in the quote of LaDainian Tomlinson, "one for the fans."

Answer a question about this article:
By the late 2000s, Dell's "configure to order" approach of manufacturing—delivering individual PCs configured to customer specifications from its US facilities was no longer as efficient or competitive with high-volume Asian contract manufacturers as PCs became powerful low-cost commodities. Dell closed plants that produced desktop computers for the North American market, including the Mort Topfer Manufacturing Center in Austin, Texas (original location) and Lebanon, Tennessee (opened in 1999) in 2008 and early 2009, respectively. The desktop production plant in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, received US$280 million in incentives from the state and opened in 2005, but ceased operations in November 2010. Dell's contract with the state required them to repay the incentives for failing to meet the conditions, and they sold the North Carolina plant to Herbalife. Most of the work that used to take place in Dell's U.S. plants was transferred to contract manufacturers in Asia and Mexico, or some of Dell's own factories overseas. The Miami, Florida, facility of its Alienware subsidiary remains in operation, while Dell continues to produce its servers (its most profitable products) in Austin, Texas. On January 8, 2009, Dell announced the closure of its manufacturing plant in Limerick, Ireland, with the loss of 1,900 jobs and the transfer of production to its plant in Łodź in Poland.

Sir George Henry Martin (3 January 1926 - 8 March 2016) was an English record producer, arranger, composer, conductor, audio engineer, and musician. He was referred to as the "Fifth Beatle", including by Paul McCartney, in reference to his extensive involvement on each of the Beatles' original albums. Martin produced 30 number-one hit singles in the United Kingdom and 23 number-one hits in the United States. Martin produced comedy and novelty records in the early 1950s, working with Peter Sellers, Spike Milligan, and Bernard Cribbins, among others.
Martin was born in Highbury, London. When he was six, Martin's family acquired a piano that sparked his interest in music. At eight years of age, Martin persuaded his parents, Henry and Betha Beatrice (nee Simpson) Martin, that he should take piano lessons, but those ended after only eight lessons because of a disagreement between his mother and the teacher. As a child, he attended several schools, including a "convent school in Holloway", St Joseph's School (Highgate), and at St Ignatius' College (Stamford Hill), where he had won a scholarship. When WWII broke out, and St. Ignatius College students were evacuated to Welwyn Garden City, his family left London, and he was enrolled at Bromley Grammar School. I remember well the very first time I heard a symphony orchestra. I was just in my teens when Sir Adrian Boult brought the BBC Symphony Orchestra to my school for a public concert. It was absolutely magical. Hearing such glorious sounds I found it difficult to connect them with ninety men and women blowing into brass and wooden instruments or scraping away at strings with horsehair bows. Despite Martin's continued interest in music, and "fantasies about being the next Rachmaninov", he did not initially choose music as a career. He worked briefly as a quantity surveyor, and later for the War Office as a Temporary Clerk (Grade Three), which meant filing paperwork and making tea. In 1943, when he was 17, he joined the Fleet Air Arm of the Royal Navy and became an aerial observer and a commissioned officer. The war ended before Martin was involved in any combat, and he left the service in 1947. Encouraged by Sidney Harrison (a member of the Committee for the Promotion of New Music) Martin used his veteran's grant to attend the Guildhall School of Music and Drama from 1947 to 1950, where he studied piano and oboe, and was interested in the music of Rachmaninoff and Ravel, as well as Cole Porter. Martin's oboe teacher was Margaret Eliot (the mother of Jane Asher, who would later become involved with Paul McCartney). After that, Martin explained that he had just picked it up by himself. On 3 January 1948 - while still at the Academy - Martin married Sheena Chisholm, with whom he would have two children, Alexis and Gregory Paul Martin. He later married Judy Lockhart-Smith on 24 June 1966, and they also had two children, Lucie and Giles Martin.

Schuldiner was born on May 13, 1967, on Long Island, New York to a Jewish father of Austrian descent and a mother from the American South, a convert to Judaism. Both of his parents were teachers. In 1968, his family moved to Florida. Schuldiner was the youngest of three children: he had an older brother named Frank and an older sister named Bethann. He started playing guitar at the age of 9; his 16-year-old brother had died and his parents bought him a guitar, thinking it would help with his grief. He took classical lessons for less than a year in which his teacher taught him "Mary had a Little Lamb", which he did not like very much, and almost stopped completely, until his parents saw an electric guitar at a yard sale and bought it for him. The young Schuldiner immediately took to the instrument. After getting amps, he never stopped playing, writing and teaching himself. Schuldiner was known to spend the weekend in the garage or his room playing his guitar, but was limited to three hours on weekdays when school was in session. Schuldiner first played in public in his early teens. Schuldiner was originally inspired by Metallica, Iron Maiden, Kiss and classical jazz, among others. He was particularly interested in the metal movement known as NWOBHM - New Wave of British Heavy Metal - and cited bands of that genre among his favorites. He frequently cited French band Sortilege as his personal favorite metal group. Slayer, Celtic Frost, Possessed, Mercyful Fate/King Diamond and Metallica were later influences he would apply more to his own band. Later in his career, Schuldiner frequently cited progressive metal bands such as Watchtower, Coroner and Queensryche as influences. The official Schuldiner website, Empty Words, quotes Schuldiner's mother making the claim that he enjoyed all forms of music except country and rap. He also enjoyed jazz and classical music in addition to metal and British alternative acts such as Lush. Schuldiner performed well in school before becoming bored with education, and eventually dropped out. He later regretted this decision. He has stated that if he had not become a musician, he would have liked to have become a veterinarian or a cook.
