Write an article based on this "De-carbonate your beer. Shampoo your hair. Massage your hair with beer for 1 minute. Rinse the beer off."
Article: | Pour a bottle or can of beer into a jug or bowl and let it sit overnight or throughout the day. The more air surface your beer is exposed to, the faster it will oxidize and become flat. Beer becomes flat by releasing the carbon dioxide it creates. It's important that the carbon dioxide is gone from the beer when using it to treat hair as carbon dioxide combined with water can create hard water or water with a high mineral content. The presence of carbon dioxide can hinder the effects of shampoos and make it harder for you to wash your hair effectively. As well, hard water causes the scales on each hair to stand up, making your hair look tangled and tough. Use whatever shampoo you normally use but skip the conditioner. The beer will act as your conditioner instead. You can transfer your flat beer into a closed container or bottle and bring it with you into the bathroom or somewhere you can easily reach for while in the shower. Pour the container or bottle of beer onto your hair and lather it into your scalp. Beer is also very beneficial for your skin as beer sediment or brewer's yeast helps reduce sebum production and control oily skin on your face or scalp. You can also try dipping the ends of your hair with beer first, letting it set in your hair for about 5 minutes before rinsing your entire head with beer. It's recommended you don't rinse the beer off completely and leave it in your hair for a better effect. Towel dry your hair afterwards. It may take a few washes before you can feel and see results. It's best to only do the beer wash a few times a week as it can be quite drying for hair if used everyday. | 9 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Consumers today have more power than ever before. The large and diverse selection of media available on newsstands means that customers know what they should be getting, and if they aren't satisfied with the service there's a host of Web sites and forums on which they can let everyone know. Marriott's TownePlace suite. In response, organizations are seeking ever more innovative ways of understanding their customers' needs, and are even turning to anthropologists and sociologists to help them. "Whereas before a lot of services were designed from the inside out, now, because consumers are so much more empowered, they are having to think about designing from the outside in," says Fran Samalionis, global practice leader for service design and innovation at IDEO. "They have to think much more about the customer experience and then figure out how to make sense of that for the business." IDEO, a global design firm, is already well-known for designing the first mouse, for Apple, and the first notebook computer, for GriD, but the company is also causing a stir with its innovative approach to design conception, where the wishes and observations of the consumer hold powerful sway. While it employs what one would call "conventional" designers, IDEO also uses what it terms a "human factor" team -- people trained in anthropology, sociology and political sciences -- who shadow consumers, observe their everyday habits and relationship with a product, and even give them cameras to record photo journals, in a bid to understand what is really needed for a product to push through the barrier and provide true satisfaction for its customer base. A case in point is Marriott's TownePlace Suites. The hotel chain approached IDEO for ideas about how to launch an extended-stay brand. IDEO followed guests and employees around, monitoring their habits and probing them with questions about every aspect of their experience at Marriott's hotels. Their conversations taught them that extended-stay guests were mainly on the road because of work commitments; they were away from home through necessity rather than choice and therefore wanted an experience from a hotel that was closer to what they were accustomed to at home -- a "home from home." IDEO recommended that Marriott install a "map wall" in the lobby, with recommendations from fellow guests, such as where to find the best coffee shop or restaurant and where to go jogging in the local area. But they also found that while guests were looking for familiar home comforts, they were also there to work. With that in mind, they drew up prototypes for guest rooms that more closely resemble live/work areas, with an office incorporated into the layout of the bedroom. Market research is not a new concept. Organizations have been bringing their potential customers together for decades to understand what they want from their services. But Samalionis argues that it is by sending its cohorts into the field to observe customers in their natural environments that IDEO gains the real insights and results. She says that while some customers might struggle to articulate their needs -- or even fully comprehend what they are looking for in the first place -- simply by looking at their daily routines IDEO's researchers can gain significant understanding of what can be done to improve customers' relationships with a particular product or service. Such was the case when IDEO worked with Bank of America to develop a new credit card. The card was targeted at young mothers and IDEO's observation team set about following a selection of moms around as they went about their daily business: taking their children to school, shopping, even balancing their checkbooks. They discovered that many people round up their transactions to the nearest whole number for speed and convenience. At the same time, many of the moms were struggling with the discipline of saving, even though they wanted to. The solution IDEO came up with was to introduce a credit card, "Keep The Change," which would instantly transfer the amount customers would usually round up into a separate savings account. Samalionis argues that this is an excellent example of where in-field research ultimately inspired an idea that could be transposed to a real-world scheme. "Just by being able to be with them, empathize with them and observe them you get to see the stuff they can't tell you," she explains. "We saw all these habits about putting pennies in jars and rounding things up in checkbooks. If you had asked somebody, they would say they just wanted to save money." All this could be interpreted as just a glossy way of rehashing a construct that has already existed within marketing and design for years -- the market research questionnaire. But Samalionis argues that the human-centered approach is just one cog in their approach to problem-solving; trained designers, engineers, business heads and the client must also have their input. "It's not enough going out into the world and coming up with a point of view about that world," she says. "You need to make those insights actionable. Really, the magic dust in the process is in synthesizing all those perspectives into something that can help you generate amazing ideas." Ultimately, the effectiveness of an approach can be best measured by its financial returns. Bank of America's "Keep The Change" credit card scheme generated 2.5 million new, and presumably happy, customers. This willingness by designers to open themselves up to public consultation is becoming increasingly popular. In England, Bath's Theatre Royal took opinions into consideration from a panel of local schoolchildren when designing their new children's theatre, The Egg. A panel of nine- to eighteen-year-olds even had a say in the choice of architect and the menu for the cafe. Innovations derived from the consultation include knee-high glass panels on the doors so that smaller theater-goers can see where they are going and a sound-proofed room so that parents with crying babies can sit and watch the show without disturbing the rest of the audience. In Italy, car maker Fiat opened itself up for suggestions from the public during the design of its relaunched Fiat 500. Under the project title "500 Wants You," the hitherto inward-looking manufacturer invited ordinary people to submit ideas for designs on its Web site. IDEO, and other design firms like it, are changing the way large organizations interact with their customers. They are learning about new ways to keep consumers satisfied, and boosting their bank balances in the process. But in the end it's the consumer who is profiting the most from this new approach.

Answer a question about this article:
Early Muslim armies stayed in encampments away from cities because Umar feared that they might get attracted to wealth and luxury. In the process, they might turn away from the worship of God and start accumulating wealth and establishing dynasties. When Uthman ibn al-Affan became very old, Marwan I, a relative of Muawiyah I, slipped into the vacuum, became his secretary, slowly assumed more control and relaxed some of these restrictions. Marwan I had previously been excluded from positions of responsibility. In 656, Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr, the son of Abu Bakr, the adopted son of Ali ibn Abi Talib, and the great grandfather of Ja'far al-Sadiq, showed some Egyptians the house of Uthman ibn al-Affan. Later the Egyptians ended up killing Uthman ibn al-Affan.

Look over at him when you’re in the same room and smile at him to let him know you’re friendly and that looking at him makes you happy. Don’t overdo it, but you can definitely catch his eye several times during a class, game, or party. You can shyly look away once you catch his eye, or keep up the eye contact. Pick out a favorite outfit that makes you feel beautiful and comfortable so that you feel confident the next time you see him. Don’t feel like you need to wear “stylish” clothes that other people are wearing, because he may not even like or notice them, but he will pay attention when you feel comfortable and at ease. Experiment with how to wear your hair and makeup, but keep it simple and ultimately go with what you think looks great on you and makes you feel good. Always start by practicing good hygiene: shower and wash your hair, wear deodorant, and brush your teeth every day. Wear your hair down or up in a ponytail or bun, or however you like to wear it best. Try playing around with curling or straightening it for a new look if you want. Brush a little mascara on your eyelashes and apply some concealer or foundation to your skin if you want to cover up any redness or acne. Stand next to him when you’re in a group, and get close if you’re sitting next to him. You can even lightly touch him on the arm while you’re talking or give him a playful push if he’s teasing or joking with you. But pay attention to the signs he’s giving you. Some people don’t like others in their close personal space or feel uncomfortable with touch; it doesn’t necessarily mean he doesn’t like you. If you don’t want to get too close or touch him, you can simply mimic his body language. If he crosses his arms, leans his head on his hand, or stands with his hands in his pockets while he’s talking to you, wait at least 20 seconds and do the same or something similar. This is a very subtle way to show you are paying attention and interested in him. Observe him to see what kinds of books he reads, music he listens to, or teams he follows. While he’s around, try reading a book by the same author or wearing a band t-shirt that you think he would like as a way of getting him to initiate a conversation before you do. Write him a sweet or funny note and slip it into his locker. You can leave it anonymous by signing it with a code name or word and tell him he has to figure out who it is through clues you give him in each letter. Stick with a simple joke or compliment in your letters if you don’t want to get too mushy or forward right away.
Summary: | Make eye contact and smile. Wear something cute. Do subtle makeup and hair. Get close to him. Get him to ask you about something. Write him a love letter. | 0 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Write some highlights for the following article:
For years, our continental neighbours have been applauded as chic, slim and poised - all achieved seemingly without effort. Even more infuriatingly, French women appear to be able to maintain their slender elegance through everything from pregnancy to old age. But according to one Parisienne, getting the Gallic look isn't as effortless as it appears, with pressure to be thin causing some women to resort to extreme measures in a bid to remain slim. What's her secret? Actress Charlotte Gainsbourg defines the glamorised perception of the French woman. Speaking to the BBC, 50-year-old Isabelle said: 'If you are fat, you will not get that job. But if you have the silhouette - chic, ultra-slim, elegant - you are more or less made.' The Parisian art gallery director, who confesses that she's far from slim, says she enjoys being the exception to the rule - but maintains that she can only get away with it because she is self-employed. She explains that being 'fat' makes her feel free but reveals she struggles to find clothes to fit her in French shops. So how do the rest of the population do it? According to journalist Peggy Frey, it's all down to an intense, if hidden, regime. Writing in Le Figaro, Frey. revealed that French women would 'rather die than reveal their. beauty secrets'. Chic: Charlotte Gainsbourg (L) and star of Coco Before Chanel, Audrey Tautou (R), epitomise French chic. She also alleged that they scour hairdressers for the best colourist to give them a 'natural' looking hue, and invest in super strong anti-wrinkle creams from the tender age of 25. She added: 'They may never talk. about dieting, but that doesn't mean they don't watch what they eat. 'After all, you can't gorge on buttered baguettes all day and magically. maintain a size eight figure', and revealed that almost half smoke cigarettes, known to suppress the appetite, in a bid to stay slim. It has even been said, according to BBC reports, that the average French women feels the need to lose at least 2kg (4.4lbs) to fit in. Cashing in on this is the French slimming industry, which is booming with diet pills packed onto pharmacy shelves and slimming tips filling the pages of glossy magazines. And it has had a chilling impact on the psyche of French women, with Sonia Feertchak, editor-in-chief of. L'Encyclo des Filles, a popular guide to health and beauty for teenage. girls, concluding that French women 'daren't' grow fat. She hasn't aged a day! French model Carla Bruni pictured (L) in 1999 and (R) this year is clearly the holder of France's best kept secrets. 'Some will even starve themselves because in this society to be a fat female is to be a failure,' she explained. 'Fat women are seen as stupid. Their lives must be out-of-control, they are judged ugly, weird losers.' Sophia Thomas, a 25-year-old Briton who spent four years studying in France, added: 'Everywhere you look in Paris, there are beautiful, slim women. 'Whether it is on fashion billboards or just across the street, you can't escape that supposed perfection. 'Everybody aspires to be some sort of Coco Chanel. She was the epitome of high octane glamour with that perfect rouge pout, peachy cheeks, Breton stripes and flowing pearls. 'It's tough, especially when there are boulangeries on every corner. However, it seems that it's going to take years to shake off that glamourised view of French women, so I guess I'll be passing on that croissant and hot chocolate!' FRENCH WOMEN DON'T GET FAT. The. grandmaman of the 'learn from the French' genre, this purports to unlock. the key to how, despite eating mounds of cheese and foie gras, French. women retain their figures. Author Mireille Guiliano claims that while. they don’t forbid themselves anything, they eat it in moderation. Rather. than obsessing about diets, they take pleasure in staying slim while. eating well. WHAT FRENCH WOMEN KNOW. ...is. the importance of understanding 'the brevity of time and the immediacy. of pleasure', writes Debra Ollivier. In other words, they’re more. pragmatic than the rest of us. CHIC AND SLIM. Never mind diet, it’s underwear that’s. are key to French women’s figures, according to Anne Barone. 'Even. French women’s lingerie helps to keep them slim,' Barone explains. ‘It’s a. constant reminder to make choices that pay off in slimness. Their. belief in this principle is demonstrated by the fact that there are. almost as many lingerie shops in Paris as bakeries.’ FRENCH CHILDREN DON'T THROW FOOD. French mothers 'seemed to adhere to different rules' to their English counterparts. Pamela Druckerman decided to investigate and, after interviewing dozens of French mothers, sociologists and doctors, wrote a fascinating book. FRENCH WOMEN DON'T SLEEP ALONE. Aside. from an inbuilt knowledge of how to tie a Hermes scarf, French women. never seem to have any problem finding a boyfriend. Yet, according to. author Jamie Cat Callan, they don’t go on dates — instead the secret to. finding love French-style is to adopt a ‘coterie’ of fabulous friends. through whom you are introduced to men in a relaxed social context. Of. course, it also helps if you’re slim and fabulous.

(CNN) -- Silicon Valley giant Yahoo is turning to a 17-year-old to boost the company's mobile development by acquiring the teenager's tech start-up in a reported multi-million dollar deal. Summly -- the brain child of London-based boy genius Nick D'Aloisio -- delivers automated snapshots of news stories to its users on mobile devices and formats articles for the small screen. D'Aloisio started the company when he was 15 and quickly attracted investors, including Hong Kong billionaire Li Ka-Shing and Hollywood stars Ashton Kutcher and Stephen Fry. In a statement on the Summly website, teenager D'Aloisio paid tribute to his friends, family and users while adding that Yahoo! is the "perfect fit" for the start-up company, which received Apple's Best Apps of 2012 award for Intuitive Touch.

When he died, society was caught in uncertainty - who would succeed him, and how? Some even predicted a violent power struggle.
But the power transfer went remarkably smoothly. Prime Minister Shavkat Mirziyoyev was named as the acting president and Karimov's Liberal Democratic party nominated him as its candidate for the presidential election scheduled on 4 December.
Few people today doubt that Mr Mirziyoyev will be the next leader of Uzbekistan.
But the job is far from over.
Mr Mirziyoyev has not been officially registered as a presidential candidate yet but his campaign seems to be in full swing. He has been criss-crossing the country meeting people, issuing decrees and signing laws.
"He does that because he needs to become visible, not everyone will know him," argues Luca Anceschi, a lecturer in Central Asian studies at the University of Glasgow.
Mr Mirziyoyev worked in the shadow of Karimov's rule and, according to cables released by the Wikileaks organisation, he instructed state media not to show images of him because the president may have got jealous.
Now, he's trying to make up lost time: he has visited eight of Uzbekistan's 13 regions of Uzbekistan in two weeks.
Interestingly, Mr Mirziyoyev has so far avoided visiting regions in the Ferghana valley, where discontent over the government's policies is believed to be high. People there still remember how the army violently broke up a major public protest in Andijan in 2005.
Shavkat Mirziyoyev seems to be consolidating power by reshuffling the cabinet, appointing new governors, police chiefs and prosecutors.
He even changed the minister of education and his deputy. The resources of this ministry are regularly used during elections to manipulate votes and reach out to the voters.
Regional media also report that Mr Mirziyoyev's family has started taking over the businesses that belonged to the Karimov family.
But gaining control over finance and powerful state agencies is not enough. The interim president has to compete with Karimov's legacy and convince people he is the rightful successor.
The entire legitimacy of the regime in Uzbekistan was based on Islam Karimov's image. Any thought that someone else could lead the country was suppressed before it could be even voiced. State propaganda relentlessly reminded people that Uzbekistan was a "state with a great future" thanks to Karimov.
"People in Central Asia are very close to their first-generation leader because they have this first president's aura, which others don't have," says Dr Anceschi.
Mr Mirziyoyev needs to boost his legitimacy - and he has done that by promising to follow the course of his predecessor.
"It is our duty to implement the main concepts of the progressive path determined by [Islam Karimov] and follow its direction, goals and aims without questions and in full," he announced when the joint session of the parliament named him as the interim president.
And yet, his first steps reversed some unpopular decisions made under Karimov's rule. He abolished "unscheduled" audits of businesses. Foreign currency revenue regulations for farmers were eased. Main roads used by the president's convoy, and closed for the public, were opened again.
These measures seem to have had an effect on the population. "People say that the new leader cares about them," a resident of the capital Tashkent tells the BBC. "Many are quite optimistic."
In foreign policy, Mr Mirziyoyev called for an "open and widened dialogue" with Tajikistan, which until recently was regarded as the arch enemy. He also invited a delegation from Kyrgyzstan a month after a tense stand-off between the two countries over disputed territories.
These moves are also aimed at bolstering legitimacy, says Alisher Khamidov, from the University of Newcastle.
"In the absence of Karimov, the Uzbek elites need new forms of legitimisation. Good relations with large states such as Russia and with neighbours fit this purpose."
But Lawrence Markowitz, associate professor at Rowan University in New Jersey, says that these steps are superficial. No changes in the political system can be expected in Uzbekistan, he says.
"Elites have vested interests in preserving the status quo that enables them to continue to channel side payments and rents into their private coffers," Dr Markowitz says. "Political institutions are too weak to support a diffusion of power away from the presidency."
In his attempt to get recognition, the new leader of Uzbekistan seems to be offering carrots to the society. But observers agree that this honeymoon period will unlikely last very long and that soon, sticks will replace carrots.

They base this belief on a rendering of the Greek word parousia—usually translated as "coming" when referring to Christ—as "presence". They believe Jesus' presence includes an unknown period beginning with his inauguration as king in heaven in 1914, and ending when he comes to bring a final judgment against humans on earth. They thus depart from the mainstream Christian belief that the "second coming" of Matthew 24 refers to a single moment of arrival on earth to judge humans.

[B]. positive.). | By far the worst experience of my life. I had gone into the office and worked with Francine with my apartment search. She was nice and addressed my concerns. Although she complained about her coworkers and a fellow apartment renters child being sick and all the girls in the office joked about who could be the bigger B**ch to this lady. All that should have been red flags but, I gave Francine the benefit of the doubt. The floor plan of the apartment I wanted was not available at the time. I was showed the smaller 2 bed/2 bath and was told "I would love the large floor plan". So I went in the office and told Francine I want to rent the next Large Floor plan you have toward the end of March (as my current rent was paid through March). I was told the apartment I wanted would open the end of Feb and would go fast. So I decided I will hold that one and put $100 down and have Francine run my credit (I have GREAT credit so of course no issue there). My move in date was 3/7/14 over two weeks away. I we planned on doing a walk through the day before we move in just to make sure everything was perfect. Fast forward to the day before we move in.. my fiance and I head over to the apartments for our scheduled walk through. We arrive and another lady advises us the apartment is no where near ready but will be ready for us to move in the next day. I tell her I have a 5 month old and would really like to see the unit prior to move in and it is pushing it close if there are any issues. She said the unit would be fine and would show us the unit the next morning. I ask her for her head supervisor and she provides Dana's phone number. I contact Dana and explain my situation and am asked "what I would like"?!.. no I'm sorry...NOTHING. Long story short I am advised my unit will be move in ready to go first thing in the morning if not there is a back up unit that is move in ready. So the next morning we show up for our walk though and are advised Francine is walking the apartments. 25 minutes later I ask if Francine is the only person who is able to show an apartment and am advised anyone can show an apartment. Just then Francine walks in and is a total different person. She is very rude, condescending and a complete B**tch! I ask if we are able to see our unit and she says.. "I know you spoke with Dana and to be Frank your unit is not ready and I can not show it to you could you come back at noon?". I then ask about the alternate unit and she says "that unit is not ready either". I ask if we could see that unit and she says "I guess I will meet you there" luckily Dana told me the number of that apartment. As I walk into that unit I just start crying, it is a mess... patchwork carpet, the screen needs replacing, the drawers and cupboards are a wreck there are stains and dead cockroaches, the bathroom needs new tile work, new paint was needed.. how am I supposed to let my son crawl around this apartment. I already switched my address over, turned on utilities, rented and packed a uhaul truck and had family come into town to help us move. Francine CLEARLY knew the issues of this apartment and said she would send someone right over to fix everything. I ask Francine if we were to switch apartments could they hold my mail from the other apartment.. she said "of course". She then says she will meet us back at the office so we can decide what we want to do. When we arrive at the office we ask if we could get our money back as this whole process was a mess and we would like to think about our options at this time. Francine says "Dana said she would refund you if that is what you decide". We tell her we would like a refund. I call Dana and leave multiple voice mails (which were never returned) I then call Crystal creek and ask for a supervisor who is extremely rude and has no remorse for what we have gone through trying to rent an apartment from them. She said it would be illegal to hold any mail for me and that it was inappropriate of me being frustrated. This issue is still ongoing. | 7 | Flan2021 | yelp_polarity_reviews:0.2.0 | zs_opt |

Greig Laidlaw's last-minute penalty snatched a 19-16 victory for Scotland over Argentina at Murrayfield.
Article: | Media playback is not supported on this device
Captain Laidlaw and Nicolas Sanchez traded penalties in a first half of little quality.
Matias Orlando and Sean Maitland scored fine converted tries in a livelier second 40 minutes.
Fly-half Finn Russell saw his drop-goal charged down with a minute to play but, with the clock red, Laidlaw's penalty sailed home to snatch the win.
Crucially, the result takes Scotland above Argentina and into the top eight of the World Rugby rankings, ahead of the 2019 World Cup draw in May.
The top eight nations will comprise the highest seeding pots, meaning, in theory, they will benefit from a more favourable pool draw.
Last weekend against Australia, the Scots roared out the blocks - generating quick ball and playing at a tempo the Wallabies struggled to live with.
This was altogether different, with the ambition and accuracy largely missing in what looked like a more cautious approach from the home side.
On a cold Edinburgh evening the handling of both sides in the first half was poor. The passes of the Scotland half-backs - Laidlaw and Russell - were not hitting their mark, though there was nothing wrong with Laidlaw's work with the boot. The captain's two penalties put his side 6-0 ahead.
Scotland were proving too predictable in attack, and any inroads they did make into Argentine territory were undermined by the concession of nine turnovers in the opening 40 minutes.
John Barclay carried hard, as did debutant Magnus Bradbury whose scramble defence near his own line kept the visitors out.
Sanchez popped over penalties either side of the break to level things up, and when the moment of class the match had been screaming out for finally arrived, it was the Pumas who produced it.
Playing with a penalty advantage, Juan Martin Hernandez dropped a cross-field kick over the head of Maitland, which bounced into the arms of Orlando, who shrugged off the tackle of Stuart Hogg to go in under the posts.
The Scottish reply was immediate. Huw Jones, so impressive in a two-try display against Australia but quiet here, once again showed his prowess near the try-line.
The Stormers centre slipped one tackle and held off another to off-load for Maitland to go over in the corner. Laidlaw's touch-line conversion squared things up at 13-13.
The Scots were pinged for a scrum infringement and Sanchez duly nudged Argentina back in front with the boot, only for Laidlaw to respond in kind to make it 16-16.
Scotland lifted the tempo in the closing stages - Laidlaw, Russell and Hogg all now playing on the front foot, desperately seeking a ruthless touch to cap their industry, as Russell sent his first of two drop-goal attempts wide.
Laidlaw had a chance to nudge his side ahead with three minutes to play, but his arcing penalty from the right bounced back off the upright.
The ball was regathered, though, by the chasing Scots, who now had possession in the shadow of the posts. But that meant the Argentine defenders could quickly close Russell down, and parry away drop-goal effort number two.
That, it seemed, was that. But the Scots continued to rack up the phases as the clock ticked past 80 minutes, and when Juan Leguizamon was penalised for a clumsy, no-arms tackle, Laidlaw pounced from the tee.
Scotland: Hogg, Maitland, Jones, Dunbar, Seymour, Russell, Laidlaw (captain); Dell, Brown, Fagerson, Gilchrist, Gray, Bradbury, Watson, Barclay.
Replacements: Ford, Allan, Low, Swinson, Wilson, Price, Horne, Visser.
Argentina: Tuculet; Moroni, Orlando, Hernandez, Cordero; Sanchez, Landajo; Noguera, Creevy (captain), Herrera, Petti, Alemanno, Matera, Ortega Desio, Isa.

Ilya Nikolayevich Bryzgalov ( ( listen); Russian: Il'ia Nikolaevich Bryzgalov; born 22 June 1980) is a Russian former professional ice hockey goaltender. He was selected in the second round of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft, 44th overall, by the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim. He has also played for the Phoenix Coyotes, Philadelphia Flyers, Edmonton Oilers and Minnesota Wild. In 2006-07 season, Bryzgalov won the Stanley Cup with the Anaheim Ducks.
With the re-signing of Giguere to a four-year contract in the off-season and the acquisition of Jonas Hiller from Switzerland, the Ducks attempted to trade Bryzgalov, but were unable to. General Manager Brian Burke claimed he had a deal worked out at the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, but could not finish it. As a result, on 16 November 2007, Bryzgalov was placed on waivers and claimed by the Phoenix Coyotes the following day, on 17 November. In his first game with the team that same day, Bryzgalov made 27 saves for his third career shutout in a 1-0 win over the Los Angeles Kings. Phoenix promptly signed him to a three-year contract extension and he went on to record 26 wins in 55 games for the Coyotes as they battled for a playoff spot, establishing himself as the club's starting goaltender. Bryzgalov again recorded 26 wins for the Coyotes during the 2008-09 season, though the Coyotes did not qualify for the playoffs. But the 2009-10 season would be a different story for Bryzgalov and the Coyotes, who would qualify for the playoffs for the first time since 2002 on the back of Bryzgalov's 42 victories. The fourth-seeded Coyotes would face-off against the veteran Detroit Red Wings in the Western Conference Quarter-Finals. The series proved to be a see-saw battle that eventually saw Detroit prevail in seven games. Bryzgalov averaged 3.43 goals against per game during the series. Despite the uncertainty surrounding the Coyotes during the 2010-11 season, Bryzgalov's 36 wins helped them to the sixth seed in the Western Conference and a return trip to the playoffs. Once again, the Coyotes faced the Red Wings. Despite Bryzgalov's strong play throughout the regular season, he struggled in the playoff rematch with Detroit, averaging 4.36 goals against per game as the Red Wings swept the Coyotes in four straight games. Set to become an unrestricted free agent in the off-season, the Coyotes did not meet Bryzgalov's asking price for a contract extension. On 6 June 2011, Bryzgalov's negotiation rights were traded to the Philadelphia Flyers for a third-round pick in the 2012 NHL Entry Draft, forward Matt Clackson, and future considerations. Bryzgalov averaged 33 victories a season the past four seasons with the Coyotes. Answer this question using a quote from the following article:

If a tuberculosis infection does become active, it most commonly involves the lungs (in about 90% of cases). Symptoms may include chest pain and a prolonged cough producing sputum. About 25% of people may not have any symptoms (i.e. they remain "asymptomatic"). Occasionally, people may cough up blood in small amounts, and in very rare cases, the infection may erode into the pulmonary artery or a Rasmussen's aneurysm, resulting in massive bleeding. Tuberculosis may become a chronic illness and cause extensive scarring in the upper lobes of the lungs. The upper lung lobes are more frequently affected by tuberculosis than the lower ones. The reason for this difference is not clear. It may be due either to better air flow, or to poor lymph drainage within the upper lungs.

College Football Games to Watch on Saturday
3 Utah at Southern California
The most intriguing game of a sleepy week features third-ranked Utah traveling to the Coliseum. The Trojans (3-3) might be the most talented .500 team in the nation, and despite a lofty ranking, Utah is a 3 ½-point underdog. To add to the intrigue, Utah Coach Kyle Whittingham is among those being mentioned for the Southern California job.
Utah has been getting it done with defense. The Utes are tough up front against the run and have 13 interceptions. Keep an eye on running back Devontae Booker, a bruising runner who has carried the offensive load. For U.S.C., this game is the last chance to save the season. Cornerback Adoree’ Jackson is one of the most exciting players in college football and will see more time at wide receiver this week.
15 Texas A&M at 24 Mississippi
The only matchup between ranked teams this week also features two teams coming off losses. The Aggies were blown out by Alabama, while Mississippi lost to undefeated Memphis. The winner will stay alive in the Southeastern Conference’s West Division, and the loser will essentially be eliminated. The Rebels’ star left tackle, Laremy Tunsil, will return after serving a seven-game suspension, and his matchup with Aggies defensive end Myles Garrett might be the most compelling of the weekend.
Stanford’s offense has clicked, and the team is suddenly among the hottest in the game. The offensive line has been tremendous, and running back Christian McCaffrey has been unstoppable over his last four games. Last week, he racked up 369 all-purpose yards and four touchdowns in a victory over U.C.L.A. He leads the nation in all-purpose yards and is making the case to be included in the Heisman discussion. The Cardinal offense will be put to the test against a Washington defense that is allowing 16.8 points a game, fewest in the conference.
This one has all the signs of a trap game for Clemson. It is the first real test on the road for the Tigers this season. Their only other trip away from Death Valley resulted in a narrow victory over a Louisville team that is now 2-4. Clemson is in the thick of the playoff hunt, but everyone seems to be waiting for it to slip up. Miami has done a great job forcing turnovers on defense and taking care of the ball on offense. This game features two great quarterbacks, Clemson’s Deshaun Watson and Miami’s Brad Kaaya.
In his first season as coach, Pat Narduzzi, a former Michigan State defensive coordinator, has the Panthers at 5-1 and in the Top 25 for the first time in five years. Their one loss came on the road to an undefeated Iowa team, which needed a 57-yard field goal as time expired for the win.
1 Ohio State at Rutgers
How many 7-0 teams change quarterbacks? That is what Ohio State has done, replacing Cardale Jones with J. T. Barrett. The speedy Barrett has gotten the Buckeyes into the end zone, which they had been struggling to reach.
21 Houston at Central Florida
The Cougars are undefeated, and quarterback Greg Ward Jr. is among the best playmakers in the country. His 14 rushing touchdowns tie him with Louisiana State running back Leonard Fournette for most in the Football Bowl Subdivision. Winless Central Florida is unlikely to pose much of a threat.
Texas Tech at 17 Oklahoma
The Red Raiders can score points, and they took Texas Christian to the wire last month in one of the season’s most entertaining games. The Sooners’ defense, however, made a statement last week, shutting out Kansas State.
The Tide are rolling, having beaten two top-10 teams on the road over their last three games. Since a loss to Mississippi in Week 3, the defense has been lights out, and the team is playing as well as anyone else in the country. FRED BIERMAN

Free Lunch Isn’t Cool, So Some Students Go Hungry
Only 37 percent of eligible high school students citywide take advantage of the subsidized meal program. But the stigma of accepting a government lunch, while others are paying for food from a different menu, is not unique to San Francisco. It is a problem many school districts across the country have been quietly confronting with mixed results, education and school nutrition officials said.
“We all struggle with it one way or another,” said Eric Goldstein, chief executive of school support services for New York City’s public schools, where 860,000 free or subsidized meals are served daily.
The New York schools conduct regular promotions, including inviting players from the Mets, Giants and the Jets — and high school football players and girls’ softball players — to eat the subsidized fare in their jerseys.
Ann Cooper, director of nutrition services for the public schools in Berkeley, Calif., said that attention to school cafeterias had traditionally focused on nutrition, but that the separation of students who pay and those who receive free meals was an important “social justice issue.”
“Fewer people know about it,” said Ms. Cooper, whose lunch program offers the same food to students who pay and those who have subsidized meals.
Many districts have a dual system like the one at Balboa: one line, in the cafeteria, for government-subsidized meals (also available to students who pay) and another line for mostly snacks and fast-food for students with cash, in another room, down the hall and around the corner. Most of the separation came into being in response to a federal requirement that food of minimal nutritional value not be sold in the same place as subsidized meals — which have to meet certain nutritional standards.
But in part because of the fallout from having separate lines, some districts have eliminated à la carte foods, and many have gone the debit-card route.
Mary Hill, president of the School Nutrition Association, a national group of school food providers, said students who receive free meals were “very sensitive” about being singled out.
“We want their participation so it’s important for us to deal with the stigma,” said Ms. Hill, who is also executive director of food services for the public schools in Jackson, Miss., where students who pay are required to buy the subsidized meal before they are allowed to buy à la carte items.
Federal school lunch programs began during the Great Depression to assist desperate farmers. By 1946, the National School Lunch Act was passed “to safeguard the health and well-being of the nation’s children,” a concern that arose after many Army recruits during World War II were found to be malnourished.
Today, the United States Department of Agriculture spends $8.3 billion a year to provide free and reduced-priced lunches for 30.6 million children whose families are at or below 130 percent of the national poverty level, about $26,845 for a family of four. The program also provides reduced-priced meals for students who are between 130 percent and 185 percent of the poverty level, or $38,203 for a family of four.
Some schools use money raised from à la carte foods to support their subsidized lunch program, often adding choices to the federally financed menu. A Government Accountability Office report found that 90 percent of public schools in 2004 sold à la carte foods. While many have quit selling sodas and sweets, the separate lines remain.
“Anywhere you sell à la carte foods, that automatically means kids who can’t afford to purchase them are being identified,” said Kate Adamick, a lawyer, chef and food systems consultant based in New York.
Most elementary-school children like free lunches, school officials say, but by the time they enter middle school, social status intervenes. And at lunchtime, as students choose with whom to associate, many students from poor families either pay cash or go hungry if they do not bring lunches from home.
“I know kids need to eat but they don’t want to be identified with free food,” said Kenneth Block, a track coach and security guard who oversees the lunch shift at Balboa High.
Attention to the matter in San Francisco came almost by chance.
Last year, Dr. Rajiv Bhatia, director of occupational and environmental health for the San Francisco Department of Public Health, was campaigning to improve the nutritional value of food in schools when he encountered the two-tier system.
Dr. Bhatia grew up in Oklahoma City, where he said he experienced and observed discrimination in the public schools, including students hurling insults at his Indian heritage. He said he was shocked to find that students in San Francisco were facing similar challenges in the lunch line.
“Here in San Francisco, which has such a commitment to equality, this kind of segregation is occurring very blatantly,” Dr. Bhatia said. “Good and committed people trying to improve student food were blind to it.”
Dr. Bhatia said he decided that “somebody has to speak up,” and began pressing the school district to make changes. “There were feasible alternatives,” he said.
Dr. Bhatia proposes giving the same food to all students and having them pay with debit cards, a change that could cost the school district an estimated $1 million.
Colleen Kavanagh, executive director of Campaign for Better Nutrition, a local nonprofit group, joined Dr. Bhatia’s campaign and tried to make a legal case against the current system. She sought help from Public Advocates, a law firm in San Francisco. They determined that the city’s school cafeteria practices resulted in “overt identification and physical segregation” of students and appeared to violate state and federal laws.
The National School Lunch Act prohibits the segregating of students, “or any overt identification of any child.”
Nancy Montanez Johner, the under secretary for food, nutrition and consumer services for the Department of Agriculture, described the legal claims against the San Francisco system as “unfounded.”
Ms. Johner said that she had looked into the lunch programs here and determined that there was “no overt identification” because students were allowed to use any line they pleased and the schools did not post signs identifying the lines as free or paying.
But Carlos Garcia, San Francisco’s superintendent of schools since July, said the system needed to change. The separate lunch lines should be combined, Mr. Garcia said, and, despite cutbacks in school financing from the state, the district should spend the money to wire its cafeterias to accept debit cards.
“We have a problem here,” Mr. Garcia said. “We need to fix it.”
Mr. Geist, the Balboa High student president, does not qualify for a subsidized meal. But he said he was struck by how many of his Hispanic and African-American friends who could benefit from the program avoid it. It “is meant to help them,” Mr. Geist said.
At Balboa High and other schools, students and officials say, one group has fewer problems accepting free food: foreign-born students. At noon one day at Balboa, bubbly teenagers from Thailand, India, Myanmar and Hong Kong (as well as a table of girls who identified themselves as “ABC’s,” or American-Born Chinese) ate chicken teriyaki in the cafeteria and said they appreciated the free lunch.
Sitting with a friend from Myanmar, Amruta Bhavsar, a senior from India, said she felt no stigma.
“It doesn’t really matter,” she said. “The food is good.”
Down the hall and around the corner in another room the school sells an à la carte menu of pizza, turkey sandwiches, Caesar salad wraps and cookies to students who pay.
In New York, Mr. Goldstein said he also found that recent immigrants — including students from the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Central America, Russia and China — relished the free meals.
To lure other students, Mr. Goldstein and his staff members engage in micromarketing by, for example, offering more vegetable dishes in Pakistani neighborhoods. Yet even with the efforts, Mr. Goldstein estimates that only 40 percent of eligible high school students citywide participate in New York’s program.
Mr. Goldstein said he believed more eligible students would eat if all school cafeterias offered free meals to everyone, regardless of economic status, but that is generally too expensive. In New York, some schools offer free meals to everyone, he said, but the program runs a $35 million deficit.
Mr. Geist, the Balboa senior, said the problem boiled down to an issue of fitting in.
“Kids who wear nice shoes and nice clothes,” he said, “don’t want to be associated with food that says ‘I’m not able to provide for myself.’ ”

Answer by taking a quote from the following article:
Thomas Simpson (30 November 1937 - 13 July 1967) was one of Britain's most successful professional cyclists. He was born in Haswell, County Durham and later moved to Harworth, Nottinghamshire. Simpson began road cycling as a teenager before taking up track cycling, specialising in pursuit races. He won a bronze medal for track cycling at the 1956 Summer Olympics and a silver at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games.
Simpson was born on 30 November 1937 in Haswell, County Durham, the youngest of six children of coal miner Tom Simpson and his wife Alice (nee Cheetham). His father had been a semi-professional sprinter in athletics. The family lived modestly in a small terraced house until 1943, when his parents took charge of the village's working men's club and lived above it. In 1950 the Simpsons moved to Harworth on the Nottinghamshire-Yorkshire border, where young Simpson's maternal aunt lived; new coalfields were opening, with employment opportunities for him and older brother Harry, by now, the only children left at home. Simpson rode his first bike, his brother-in-law's, at age 12, sharing it with Harry and two cousins for time trials around Harworth. Following Harry, Tom joined Harworth & District CC (Cycling Club) aged 13. He delivered groceries in the Bassetlaw district by bicycle and traded with a customer for a better road bike. He was often left behind in club races; members of his cycling club nicknamed him "four-stone Coppi", after Italian rider Fausto Coppi, due to his slim physique. Simpson began winning club time trials, but sensed resentment of his boasting from senior members. He left Harworth & District and joined Rotherham's Scala Wheelers at the end of 1954. Simpson's first road race was as a junior at the Forest Recreation Ground in Nottingham. After leaving school he was an apprentice draughtsman at an engineering company in Retford, using the 10 mi (16.1 km) commute by bike as training. He placed well in half mile races on grass and cement, but decided to concentrate on road racing. In May 1955 Simpson won the National Cyclists' Union South Yorkshire individual pursuit track event as a junior; the same year, he won the British League of Racing Cyclists (BLRC) junior hill climb championship and placed third in the senior event. Simpson immersed himself in the world of cycling, writing letters asking for advice. Naturalised Austrian rider George Berger responded, travelling from London to Harworth to help him with his riding position. In late 1955, Simpson ran a red light in a race and was suspended from racing for six months by the BLRC. During his suspension he dabbled in motorcycle trials, nearly quitting cycling but unable to afford a new motorcycle necessary for progress in the sport.

(CNN) -- The Epsom Derby is the most famous horse race in Britain -- and, arguably, the world. Dating back to 1780, it has spawned many imitations -- 140 countries now have a "Derby," perhaps most notably in the U.S. state of Kentucky. Indeed, the word "derby" is now generally used to describe any race for three-year-olds. "To me it's the most significant race in the world," says trainer Andrew Balding, whose Kingsclere stables have yards named after great Epsom Derby winners of the past, such as Ormonde and Flying Fox. "There are more valuable races, but you can't buy 200 years of history. It is a very special event for anyone who is British. It's still very much the race that everyone wants to win."

The reefs at Funafuti have suffered damage, with 80 per cent of the coral becoming bleached as a consequence of the increase in ocean temperatures and ocean acidification. The coral bleaching, which includes staghorn corals, is attributed to the increase in water temperature that occurred during the El Niños that occurred from 1998–2000 and from 2000–2001. A reef restoration project has investigated reef restoration techniques; and researchers from Japan have investigated rebuilding the coral reefs through the introduction of foraminifera. The project of the Japan International Cooperation Agency is designed to increase the resilience of the Tuvalu coast against sea level rise through ecosystem rehabilitation and regeneration and through support for sand production.

Context: At the age of 36, Johnson attempted another comeback as a player when he re-joined the Lakers during the 1995–96 NBA season. During his retirement, Johnson began intense workouts to help his fight against HIV, raising his bench press from 135 to 300 pounds, and increasing his weight to 255 pounds. He officially returned to the team on January 29, 1996, and played his first game the following day against the 1995–96 Golden State Warriors season. Coming off the bench, Johnson had 19 points, 8 rebounds, and 10 assists to help the Lakers to a 128–118 victory. On February 14, Johnson recorded the final triple-double of his career, when he scored 15 points, along with 10 rebounds and 13 assists in a victory against the 1995–96 Atlanta Hawks season. Playing Power forward (basketball), he averaged 14.6 points, 6.9 assists, and 5.7 rebounds per game in 32 games, and finished tied for 12th place with Charles Barkley in voting for the MVP Award. The Lakers had a record of 22–10 in the games Johnson played, and he considered his final comeback "a success." While Johnson played well in 1996, there were struggles both on and off the court. Cedric Ceballos, upset over a reduction in his playing time after Johnsons arrival, left the team for several days. He missed two games and was stripped of his title as team captain. Nick Van Exel received a seven-game suspension for bumping referee Ron Garretson during a game on April 9. Johnson was publicly critical of Van Exel, saying his actions were "inexcusable." Ironically Johnson was himself suspended five days later, when he bumped referee Scott Foster, missing three games. He also missed several games due to a calf injury. Despite these difficulties, the Lakers finished with a record of 53–29 and fourth seed in the NBA Playoffs. Although they were facing the defending NBA champion 1995–96 Houston Rockets season, the Lakers had home court advantage in the five-game series. The Lakers played poorly in a Game 1 loss, prompting Johnson to express frustration with his role in coach Del Harris offense. Johnson led the way to a Game 2 victory with 26 points, but averaged only 7.5 points per game for the remainder of the series, which the Rockets won three games to one.

Miss Piggy is a Muppet character known for her breakout role in Jim Henson's The Muppet Show. Since her debut in 1976, Miss Piggy has been notable for her volatile diva personality, tendency to use French phrases in her speech, and practice of karate. She was also known for her on-again/off-again relationship with Kermit the Frog, which began in 1978 and has been on a hiatus since 2015. Frank Oz performed the character from 1976 to 2000 and was succeeded by Eric Jacobson in 2001.
Miss Piggy began as a minor chorus pig on The Muppet Show, but gradually developed into one of the central characters of the series, as the writers and producers of The Muppet Show recognized that a lovelorn pig could be more than a one-note running gag. She spawned a huge fad during the late 1970s and early 1980s and eclipsed Kermit and the other Muppets in popularity at that time, selling far more merchandise and writing a book that, unlike any of Kermit's books, wound up on top of the New York Times Bestseller List. Miss Piggy's personality and voice were seen and heard in other female characters performed by Frank Oz before the character's debut. For instance, a Sesame Street Muppet skit from 1971 featured Snow White performed by Frank Oz and acting (as well as sounding) like Miss Piggy. Another sound-alike came from a contestant in a Guy Smiley sketch called "The Mystery Mix-Up Game". In The Muppet Show episode 106, Piggy is referred to by the full name "Piggy Lee," and in episode 116, Piggy tells guest star Avery Schreiber that Piggy is short for "Pigathius", "from the Greek, meaning 'river of passion'". Also during the Jim Nabors episode when asked what (astrological) sign she was born under she replied that she wasn't born under a sign, she was born over one, "Becker's Butcher shop". She portrayed "Wonder Pig", a spoof a Wonder Woman in episode 419 while Lynda Carter sang "The Rubberband Man" and "Orange Colored Sky". Answer this question using a quote from the following article:

Article:The Cumbrians, who are yet to taste defeat in 14 League Two games this term, led through Jason Kennedy's bundled finish and although Matt Godden's spot-kick levelled proceedings, Grainger kept his cool from 12 yards to win it.
Carlisle started brightly and Charlie Wyke almost broke the deadlock after five minutes as he shot just over from a Nicky Adams cross.
Kennedy's sixth of the season gave the visitors the lead from close range in the 16th minute following a brilliant Jamie Jones save from another Wyke effort.
Stevenage equalised just before half-time after Tom Miller was penalised for a shirt pull on Charlie Lee and Godden smashed home the resulting penalty.
Referee Nicholas Kinseley awarded a second penalty in the 57th minute when Stevenage captain Ronnie Henry pushed Wyke in the area, and Grainger duly put the Cumbrians back in front.
Boro, searching for only a second league win in their last six games, could have equalised but Jack King failed to convert from six yards.

Options are: a). negative b). positive What would be an example of an a). review? | My father passed away early this week at the Silver Ridge Healthcare Center after a 9 year bout with cancer. It was his dying wish not to pass at home while he was in home hospice care so when the medical staff tending to him announced that he only had hours left, arrangements were made to have him transferred to a hospice based facility. I hope and pray that if you (the reader) are ever faced with sending a family member or friend to a facility like this - that you have other options because Silver Ridge is one of the worst facilities I've encountered after years of working in Healthcare. I waited a few days to post this so it wouldn't seem like an emotional response to my father's passing - I truly hope that no one ever has to experience what I experienced here. To start off - I could have raised hell but that wasn't my purpose for being there. I was there, with my family to be with my father in his last remaining hours. But, from the moment I stepped foot into the facility, I encountered the most cold, uncaring and unprofessional staff ever. I intentionally used the word "encountered" because not one person ever approached my family. Not one asked if we needed anything. Not one offered any explanation of the procedures and or rules of the facility. Not one gave us the time of day when coming by to check his vitals or drop off equipment, which incidentally, was never used. It was so bad that when the transport team arrived to transfer my father to his assigned bed/room - one of them had to go and hunt down a tree so they could connect the oxygen lines. When I finally wanted to know what the hell was going on, I find three of their staff just sitting at the station having a non work related conversation. There were problems with the meds that my father was prescribed but it wasn't entirely the facility's fault - but no one on their staff, took the initiative to try to remedy the situation. Meds at facility are brought in via a mobile pharmacy team however, all facilities have systems in place for meds they need stat and this place was not exception. After a brief conversation with the admitting nurse, and some pointed accusations about how inept their staff was coming across - she managed to contact the right people to pull the meds from their Pyxis machine that had the meds my father was prescribed, in stock. Almost two hours after my father was placed. At one point, one of the nurses came in to take my father's vitals. Both my sister and I were sitting bedside and not only didn't she even greet us or explain what she was doing - when asked what his stats were, she didn't even answer - she only turned the monitor so I could see the readout. The patient next door - didn't speak English. I don't know what language he spoke however, the staff on the third shift, had zero patience for dealing with him. At one point, one of the nurses was arguing with him because of the language barrier. I don't understand how someone in Healthcare doesn't know how to use the free translation services offered to help prevent circumstances like what I witnessed that night. It's a matter of a making a toll free call. I could go on about this place however, there were some things you would just have to see for yourself. For example, the unsanitary restrooms - where soiled adult diapers were overflowing from the trash cans onto the floor. There were also some spills that weren't cleaned from the patients who had the pleasure of roaming the halls. I will close on this - when my father passed, not one word was said to my family by the staff. It's not like there wasn't time nor opportunity. Waiting for the mortuary service to pick him up took about 90 minutes. Even the transport driver was sympathetic enough to offer condolences. I remained silent about what I witnessed first hand at first. This isn't the only arena I intend on voicing my concerns. I over see hospital operations on a much larger level than this facility but the term "Healthcare" should be universal everywhere. Until the facility's management address the issues here, I'd recommend you avoid this place if you need to place a loved one there for care. | 9 | Flan2021 | yelp_polarity_reviews:0.2.0 | zs_opt |
Summarize:
Mind Cymru claims people are twice as likely to attempt suicide if not called within a week of being discharged.
They found just one of Wales' health boards records how many people receive follow-up calls after discharge.
The Welsh Government's mental health strategy says every board should be recording the information.
"This doesn't mean no-one is getting follow-up contact, it means health boards who are planning and delivering services simply don't know," said Rhiannon Hedge, policy and campaigns officer at Mind Cymru.
"We know this is the time when people can be extremely vulnerable. By follow-up we mean a face-to-face chat or telephone contact from a mental health professional saying 'are you ok or how are you coping'.
"That is to ensure they are not falling back into a mental health crisis and the lack of data for us was really worrying."
Mental health campaigner Louisa Tanner, who has had depression and anxiety
"I've been in hospital a few times and it has varied on each occasion.
"Last year I was in hospital and I was discharged following just a couple of days stay and I was supposed to be discharged to the crisis team.
"They saw me and said I was too high risk to be worked on in the community so they said they weren't going to work with me, bearing in mind I'd just been discharged from hospital so I didn't have any support from them either.
"An incident happened that same night because I felt so awful that I had been discharged and hadn't got any support and I ended up in hospital the very next day.
"I was also discharged from hospital last month and because I was out of area - 93 miles away from home - in the only mental health bed they had available in Wales, they discharged me to the crisis team.
"I found out the crisis team had not been informed so I had to inform them myself. Thankfully I was in a good enough mental state to do it - but if people aren't in a good enough mental state to do that then they could just fall between the cracks.
"No-one knew I was being discharged so better communication needs to be done certainly."
A freedom of information request by Mind discovered that only one of Wales' health boards, Aneurin Bevan in the old Gwent area of south east Wales, has been centrally collecting data in the last 12 months about follow-up contact for everyone they have discharged from hospital following a mental health crisis.
The Welsh Government wants health boards to contact discharged patients within five working days.
But Mind Cymru believes that everyone who leaves a mental health hospital should receive such follow up within 48 hours.
"We know that when people are discharged from hospital they are at their most vulnerable in the first 48 hours," added Ms Hedge.
"We strongly believe that a follow-up target of five days is not enough. Vulnerable people need support much sooner than that, and we want Welsh Government to adopt the 48 hour target as a matter of urgency."

The Conscription Crisis of 1918 further intensified public support for Sinn Féin before the general elections to the British Parliament on 14 December 1918, which resulted in a landslide victory for Sinn Féin, winning 73 seats out of 105, whose MPs gathered in Dublin on 21 January 1919 to form Dáil Éireann and adopt the Declaration of Independence.

Write an article based on this summary:
Nice truck attacker Mohamed Lahouaiej-Bouhlel received logistical support for his Bastille Day attack from five suspects who are now in custody, French prosecutor Francois Molins has said.
Article: | Mr Molins told a news conference the crime had been planned for months.
He said one of the suspects had filmed the scene of the attack the day after.
All five are facing preliminary terrorism charges for their alleged roles in helping Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, a Tunisian living in Nice.
The four men and one woman aged between 22 and 40 are due to appear in court shortly.
They include an Albanian couple suspected of providing Lahouaiej-Bouhlel with a pistol.
Another of the suspects is a 22-year-old man believed to have received text messages from Lahouaiej-Bouhlel on the night of the attack, discussing the supply of weapons.
Police found a Kalashnikov rifle and ammunition at the man's home, AFP news agency reports.
Like Lahouaiej-Bouhlel, none of those detained were known to French intelligence prior to the attack.
Mr Molins said information from Lahouaiej-Bouhlel's phone showed searches and photos that indicated he had been studying an attack since 2015.
The so-called Islamic State group said Lahouaiej-Bouhlel was one of its "soldiers" - but the lorry driver had not been on any French police watch list.
As the Bastille Day crowd enjoyed festivities on Nice's Promenade des Anglais, Lahouaiej-Bouhlel careered his large white lorry towards them.
Two police officers opened fire when he mounted the kerb, but he simply accelerated and then zigzagged for up to 2km (1.25 miles), leaving a trail of carnage.
Police finally managed to bring the lorry to a halt, raking the driver's cabin with gunfire and killing Lahouaiej-Bouhlel.
France has extended its state of emergency until the end of January 2017. It gives the police extra powers to carry out searches and to place people under house arrest.
The government has also launched an inquiry into police actions in Nice on 14 July, amid claims that there were too few police to block a lorry that killed 84 people.
Just one local police car was on duty at the point where the lorry careered onto the pedestrian promenade, the daily Liberation reported.
The local police had neither enough time nor firepower to stop the lorry, it said.
That version of events was disputed by Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
He said Liberation was referring to a separate, local police roadblock that was diverting traffic. The main roadblock at the start of the promenade was manned by six national police officers, who were "the first to confront the deadly lorry", he said, adding that two police cars of the national police were stationed there. | 8 | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |

Quran
The first fully attested complete translations of the Quran were done between the 10th and 12th centuries in Persian. The Samanid king, Mansur I (961-976), ordered a group of scholars from Khorasan to translate the Tafsir al-Tabari, originally in Arabic, into Persian. Later in the 11th century, one of the students of Abu Mansur Abdullah al-Ansari wrote a complete tafsir of the Quran in Persian. In the 12th century, Najm al-Din Abu Hafs al-Nasafi translated the Quran into Persian. The manuscripts of all three books have survived and have been published several times.[citation needed]
