Article: You can transpose chords to a song without necessarily being able to read sheet music. This method is ideal if you want to make a song easier to play on another instrument, such as a guitar. This method also works if you want to move a song up or down to better accommodate a vocalist. Look at the original key the song is in. The number of half-steps between the original key and the key you want the song to be in is your interval. You'll need to move all of the chords in the song that same interval up or down. For example, if your original song is in C and you want to transpose it to E, you'll need to move every chord in the song up four half-steps. The chromatic circle shows the relationship between all the chords. Move along the circle the appropriate number of half-steps clockwise if you're moving the chords up, or counter-clockwise if you're moving the chords down. You also could use a transposition table, which tells you exactly what chords to use. You may be able to get one at a music store, or you can search for one online. Once you've finished moving all the chords up or down to transpose the song, play it through once on your piano. If you're ultimately going to play the song on a guitar or another instrument, you may want to play it through on that instrument as well to make sure it sounds okay. Even though it will be in a different key, the song should sound essentially the same. If anything sounds off, you may have transposed a chord incorrectly.

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
Speak slowly and clearly. Don’t mumble. Think (quickly) about what you’re going to say before you say it. Remember that calls may be monitored and recorded. If English is your second language and you find customers have difficulty understanding you, consider taking English as a Second Language classes. You can find in-person and online classes. Some online resources are free to use. Stay friendly at all times. Don’t be negative, condescending or confrontational, regardless of what the customer says. Use formalities and an upbeat tone of voice. Try saying, “Please,” “Thank you,” “You’re welcome,” and “I’m sorry to hear that.” Don't take anything customers tell you personally, and don’t tell customers to “calm down.” Provide such customers with empathy and a solution. After the call, take a few seconds to breathe if you can, smile and move on to the next call. One of the most important traits of a good call center agent is the ability to stay calm under pressure. Try saying, “We truly appreciate your feedback,” “I’ll do my best to assist you,” and other pleasantries, using the customer’s name often. To the customer, you are a representative of the company who’s speaking on the phone. They won’t always be respectful and may even seem to blame you for their issue with the company. Ask questions that have “yes” or “no” answers. Steer the conversation back to its focus as needed. Avoid personal topics or comments about the weather unless you need to kill time while something loads on your end. If you need to leave work and the call isn’t resolved, try saying, “This sounds like this is something my colleague can help you with.” Pay attention to detail. Don’t assume you know what customers need before they finish explaining the issue. Make sure that customers are satisfied as best you can before you terminate the call. Customers report that only half of call center agents address their concerns with an appropriate answer. Repeating the customer’s problem back to them can help convey to them that you understand their concerns. Find out when a call should be transferred, for instance, to a supervisor or manager. Ask your supervisor under what circumstances should you transfer a call elsewhere. Recognize if the caller has an issue you are unable to resolve yourself. Then advise the customer in a positive way that you’re going to transfer the call. For example, if the customer is specifically requesting a rebate, and you are unable to issue one, you may need to transfer the call. Instead of saying “I don’t handle that,” try saying, “[Person or department] can help you with that.”

News article: Music - Taylor Swift, Nashvilles One-Woman Youth Movement - NYTimes.com
Josh Anderson for The New York Times
Josh Anderson for The New York Times
Performing in Nashville last month.
BY now Taylor Swift knows how to work all the different digital cameras, all the different camera phones. When surrounded by a group of fans clamoring for pictures, as she was here on a Saturday night in mid-October after a sold-out show at the McKenzie Arena, she warmly appropriated the camera of each one, struck a cute pose, snapped the picture and then handed it back, usually followed by a hug. All in all it was a fair trade: intimacy for control.
“Intimidation isn’t what I’m going for,” Ms. Swift, 18, said earlier in the day in the Zen-like tour bus she and her mother, Andrea, designed, from the leather on the sofas to the faux peacock feathers on the bathroom wall. “I don’t have big security guards,” she said as Fox News played mutely on the television. “I don’t have an entourage. I try to write lyrics about what’s happening to me and leave out the part that I live in hotel rooms and tour buses. It’s the relatability factor. If you’re trying too hard to be the girl next door, you’re not going to be.”
Thus far Ms. Swift, who spends much of her free time updating her MySpace page and editing personal videos to upload to the Internet, has not had a tough time finding the right balance. She has quickly established herself as the most remarkable country music breakthrough artist of the decade. In part that’s because she is one of Nashville’s most exciting songwriters, with a chirpy, exuberant voice. But mainly Ms. Swift’s career has been noteworthy for what happens once the songs are finished. She has aggressively used online social networks to stay connected with her young audience in a way that, while typical for rock and hip-hop artists, is proving to be revolutionary in country music. As she vigilantly narrates her own story and erases barriers between her and her fans, she is helping country reach a new audience.
Ms. Swift’s second album, “Fearless” (Big Machine), will be released Tuesday, and like her self-titled 2006 debut, it’s full of charming, clean-scrubbed songs about teenage love and heartbreak. Ms. Swift writes from her own experiences, names intact, giving her songs an almost radical intimacy, especially in a pop world of plasticized come-ons and impersonal brush-offs.
She has placed the concerns of young women at the center of her songs, subject matter that generally has been anathema in the more mature world of country singers. Most important, though, she very much sees country music as part of the larger pop panorama. A huge success on country radio, she has also found homes on pop stations and at MTV, including a gig hosting the MTV Video Music Awards preshow in September, an unheard-of slot for a country singer. This week an entire episode of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” will be devoted to her album release party. Put more plainly, she has proved that there’s no reason a country singer can’t be a pop star too.
Just four years ago, when Ms. Swift and her family moved from Wyomissing, Pa., to Hendersonville, a Nashville suburb, this seemed an impossible proposition. It had been more than a decade since a teenager last made a true impact in town, but that singer, LeAnn Rimes, had been praised for sounding grown-up; Ms. Swift’s music was unabashedly youthful. When Scott Borchetta, president of Big Machine Records, would talk to Nashville insiders about his teenage signee, “people would look at me cross-eyed,” he said. “I would feel like they were deleting me from their Blackberrys as I was telling them.”
But Ms. Swift had been carefully honing her sound for a few years already. After a trip to Nashville when she was 11, she began writing songs and learning to play guitar in earnest. (She now often plays a Swarovski crystal-encrusted one.) By the time her family moved, in the summer before her freshman year of high school, she had already been singing at coffee shops and minor league baseball games.
Ms. Swift first signed a publishing deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the youngest person the company had ever signed. Every day after school she would truck off to one of Nashville’s many studios on Music Row for writing appointments.
“I knew every writer I wrote with was pretty much going to think, ‘I’m going to write a song for a 14-year-old today,’ ” Ms. Swift said. “So I would come into each meeting with 5 to 10 ideas that were solid. I wanted them to look at me as a person they were writing with, not a little kid.”

Article:The 28-year-old died after being shot by the Army during a riot in Ardoyne, Belfast, in February 1971.
The coroner said that Mr Watt was not a member of any paramilitary organisation.
He also ruled that Barney Watt was not holding any explosive device when he was shot.
However, addressing the Watt family, he said many questions remained unanswered.
The coroner began his delivering his findings by dismissing evidence heard earlier from a witness, John McLaughlin, as unreliable.
Mr McLaughlin, who was 14 at the time, told the inquest remembered seeing a man standing with his hands in the air before hearing a crack and then he fell to the ground.
He contacted a lawyer of the Watt family after his son told him of newspaper reports about the inquest.
Those reports said soldiers had given statements saying Mr Watt was holding a bomb when he was shot.
Speaking via video link, Mr McLaughlin described leaving his home at the time to "get out of the house" and walked down Chatham Street.
He told the inquest he was clearly able to see Mr Watt due to a Saracen being alight.
He said he saw Mr Watt staggering and holding a lamp pole.
He saw him take his hands off the pole and put his hands up in a "surrender motion" and was shouting.
Mr McLaughlin said he then heard a crack and the man fell to the ground and was taken by two men to a nearby house.
He says he left Belfast a year later and has suffered post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) since.
Mr McLaughlin said he has had regular nightmares about the incident and said that after hearing the reports he had to get involved, had to tell the truth and not to be a coward.
On Monday, the first day of a fresh inquest into his death, statements from four soldiers, made at the time, were read out.
One of the soldiers claimed when he shot the man allegedly holding a bomb, he dropped the device which "exploded and blew him down the street".
Mr Watt's family dispute the soldiers' version of events and his widow told the inquest he had no links to paramilitaries.
The first inquest into his death was held in July 1971 and resulted in an open verdict.
The current inquest was ordered in 2012 by Attorney General John Larkin QC - one of a number of controversial Troubles killings by the security forces which are being re-examined.
Counsel for the coroner told the court there had been difficulties in tracing and identifying soldiers involved in the case.
In February, the Ministry of Defence defended a Parachute Regiment Facebook appeal asking former soldiers for information about Mr Watt's killing.

We had plenty of time to review the drink menu before we were even given the dinner menu, so nice! The owner came by and checked on us, he was very kind and affable. And the food was delicious. I had the eggplant parm and it was the best eggplant I've had. Very well prepared. I also had a bite of my friend's butternut squash ravioli, and can I just say, YUM! We also started with salads which were excellent. Overall a great experience and I will be going again!

Exercise can trigger bronchoconstriction both in people with or without asthma. It occurs in most people with asthma and up to 20% of people without asthma. Exercise-induced bronchoconstriction is common in professional athletes. The highest rates are among cyclists (up to 45%), swimmers, and cross-country skiers. While it may occur with any weather conditions it is more common when it is dry and cold. Inhaled beta2-agonists do not appear to improve athletic performance among those without asthma however oral doses may improve endurance and strength.

Read this: Most light bulbs have either clear or coated glass. The coated glass bulbs have a white powdery substance on the inside called kaolin. Kaolin, or kaolinite, is a white, chalky clay in a very fine powder form, that is blown in and electrostatically deposited on the interior of the bulb. It diffuses the light emitted from the filament, producing a more gentle and evenly distributed light. Manufacturers may add pigments to the kaolin to adjust the characteristics of the final light emitted from the bulb. Kaolin diffused bulbs are used extensively in interior lighting because of their comparatively gentle light. Other kinds of colored bulbs are also made, including the various colors used for "party bulbs", Christmas tree lights and other decorative lighting. These are created by coloring the glass with a dopant; which is often a metal like cobalt (blue) or chromium (green). Neodymium-containing glass is sometimes used to provide a more natural-appearing light.

Hunting big game typically requires a "tag" for each animal harvested. Tags must be purchased in addition to the hunting license, and the number of tags issued to an individual is typically limited. In cases where there are more prospective hunters than the quota for that species, tags are usually assigned by lottery. Tags may be further restricted to a specific area, or wildlife management unit.

Article:Vasco's 1-0 defeat on Sunday at home to title-chasing Flamengo in the Rio de Janeiro derby was marred by crowd trouble at the final whistle.
Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho, a former Vasco player, was at the match as the club's guest of honour.
"I needed to apologise on behalf of Vasco," president Eurico Miranda said.
"What happened here is not Vasco. Do not qualify these people as fans. They are vandals, bandits. I'm not giving an explanation, but I'm sure it's something that was already prepared."
The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) said that Vasco's fans caused "serious disturbances and a show of violence". The governing body added that an official inquiry into the disturbances has been launched by Brazil's Superior Court of Sporting Justice.
"Taking into account that the safety of fans is a priority, it has been decided to ban the presence of the public at Sao Januario stadium in any football match. The decision is pending a decision by the Sporting Justice which will look into last weekend's events," the CBF said.
Davi Rocha Lopes, 27, died in the clashes following the match in Brazil's Serie A championship on Saturday.
Three other people were taken to hospital with two suffering from gunshot wounds, according to police.
Coutinho was paraded around Vasco's 21,000-capacity stadium before the match.
Fighting in the stands and outside the stadium began at the end of the match, after Flamengo had secured their first win at the Sao Januario stadium for 44 years.
Among the players who fled the pitch at full-time as police used tear gas was 16-year-old Real Madrid player Vinicius Junior, who is on loan at Flamengo following his £38m move to the Bernabeu.
Flamengo are second in the league, with Vasco in mid-table.

More than 6 million Americans enrolled under the ACA, White House says
A tea party member reaches for a pamphlet titled "The Impact of Obamacare", at a "Food for Free Minds Tea Party Rally" in Littleton, N.H. in this Oct. 27, 2012 file photo (Jessica Rinaldi/Reuters)
More than 6 million Americans have now signed up for private insurance under the Affordable Care Act, according to the White House, with just four days to go until the end of its first open enrollment period.
While traveling in Italy on Thursday, President Obama shared the news in a conference call with thousands of health-care navigators and volunteers helping enroll people on state and federal marketplaces.
As the volume of consumers seeking health plans has surged -- there were more than 1.5 million visits to HealthCare.gov Wednesday and more than 430,000 calls to the marketplaces' call centers -- Obama urged those on the call to work even harder to get individuals covered.
The numbers show that the administration will at least meet the expectations many have at this point, though it will fall short of the Congressional Budget Office's original enrollment projections. Last year the CBO estimated that 7 million consumers would sign up during the law's initial, six-month enrollment period; its most recent estimate projected 6 million would.
The actual enrollment number is likely to rise, in part because of recent changes to the law's implementation. The administration announced this week that it would extend the March 31 deadline into mid-April for those individuals who tried to enroll but failed to do so, and until the end of May for battered spouses who had previously been barred from receiving tax subsidies.
Across the country, several groups allied with the law -- including Enroll America, the Service Employees International Union and Planned Parenthood -- have been ramping up their enrollment activities as the deadline approaches. Nationwide, there are also more than 27,000 trained assisters in all 50 states helping consumers sign up under the law.
The Obama administration is courting a certain demographic as the enrollment deadline looms. So who’s on the receiving end of the last-minute hustle?

There are many Hokkien speakers among overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia as well as in the United States. Many ethnic Han Chinese emigrants to the region were Hoklo from southern Fujian, and brought the language to what is now Burma (Myanmar), Indonesia (the former Dutch East Indies) and present day Malaysia and Singapore (formerly Malaya and the British Straits Settlements). Many of the Hokkien dialects of this region are highly similar to Taiwanese and Amoy. Hokkien is reportedly the native language of up to 98.5% of the Chinese Filipino in the Philippines, among which is known locally as Lan-nang or Lán-lâng-oē ("Our people’s language"). Hokkien speakers form the largest group of Chinese in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.[citation needed]

Tips were given by Dr Andrew Pye and Dr Radu Sporea at Surrey University. They explained how to get the best focus and lighting from a digital camera. This also included tips on managing perspective and depth of field. The pair additionally detailed why smartphone selfies can look different.
Article: | More than a million selfies are taken every day, and a third of us admit to digitally retouching our self-portraits before uploading them online. But researchers from the University of Surrey claim that many of these images could be improved simply taking note of some of their tips. For example, when using a smartphone, the closer the person can get to the lens the better when trying to capture the perfect selfie. Scroll down for video. Researchers from the University of Surrey claim that many selfies could be improved simply by holding the camera further away, and zooming in, to change the perspective. But when using a smartphone, place the camera at arm's length, and hold the phone in landscape when taking group shots (Oscars selfie is pictured) A conventional digital camera's wide-angle lens should be positioned further away from the subject and zoomed in, to achieve a more accurate perspective. On. smartphone cameras, however, a person can be positioned much closer to the phone. This is because the lens and sensor are smaller, so can be used for close-up shots while maintaining the correct amount of separation. For. portraits, the best photos have the shallowest. depth of field, meaning the subject is in focus. To achieve this on a digital camera, choose a larger aperture, which will have a. lower number on the settings menu. Focus can be adjusted on smartphones by tapping the screen. In terms of. lighting, Dr Sporea and Dr Pye claim that photos should not be back-lit,. meaning the light is in front of the subject, rather than behind it. There should also be less separation between the light and dark areas. This means using more lights, or bouncing the light off another surface. Dr Andrew Pye and Dr Radu Sporea,. photography experts and research fellows from the University of Surrey,. revealed the tips during their ‘A Perfect Picture - the science behind. good photos’ talk at the British Science Festival this weekend. When using a digital camera, Dr Sporea and Dr Pye said that a wide-angle lens needs to be positioned further away from the subject and zoomed in, to achieve a more accurate perspective. When a wide-angle lens is too close to a subject, the distance from the lens is approximately the same distance between the subject’s features. This causes the image to be distorted. A selfie-stick can be used to get extra distance between the lens and face. However, these tips only typically work with wide-angle lenses.

Article: Widespread drought in North China, combined with the imperialist designs of European powers and the instability of the Qing government, created conditions that led to the emergence of the Righteous and Harmonious Fists, or "Boxers." In 1900, local groups of Boxers proclaiming support for the Qing dynasty murdered foreign missionaries and large numbers of Chinese Christians, then converged on Beijing to besiege the Foreign Legation Quarter. A coalition of European, Japanese, and Russian armies (the Eight-Nation Alliance) then entered China without diplomatic notice, much less permission. Cixi declared war on all of these nations, only to lose control of Beijing after a short, but hard-fought campaign. She fled to Xi'an. The victorious allies drew up scores of demands on the Qing government, including compensation for their expenses in invading China and execution of complicit officials.

Pope Francis was forced to cancel a planned meeting with Sri Lankan bishops - because he was 'exhausted' after a long journey exposed to the sun. The 78-year-old arrived in the capital Colombo on Tuesday on his Asia tour before travelling for an hour into the city from the airport on roads lined with well-wishers. The pope was taken in an open-top car with no protection from the strong sun and after a long overnight flight from Rome. Pope Francis was forced to cancel a planned meeting with Sri Lankan bishops - because he was 'exhausted' after a long journey exposed to the sun. A source working on security arrangements revealed that the pontiff looked 'exhausted' after his journey. A Vatican spokesman had said earlier that the meeting with the bishops had been cancelled due to the pope's late arrival from the airport. But a source working on security arrangements who asked not to be named told AFP the pontiff looked 'exhausted' after his journey. Pope Francis has shunned the pomp of his predecessors, and said earlier this year he prefers not to use the bulletproof 'popemobile' favoured by previous pontiffs. Journalists travelling with him said he appeared on good form during the flight. But after disembarking, he spent nearly two hours in total greeting dignitaries and well-wishers along the 28-kilometer (18-mile) route into town - under scorching sun. After disembarking, he spent nearly two hours in total greeting dignitaries and well-wishers along the 28-kilometer (18-mile) route into town - under scorching sun. A weary and delayed Francis skipped a lunchtime meeting with Sri Lanka's bishops to rest before completing the rest of his grueling day. A weary and delayed Francis skipped a lunchtime meeting with Sri Lanka's bishops to rest before completing the rest of his grueling day. 'The health of the pope is good,' the Vatican spokesman, the Rev. Federico Lombardi, said today. 'He was a little tired after the 28 kilometers under the sun, but now he has again his strength.' Francis is the first pope to visit Sri Lanka since the government crushed a 25-year civil war by ethnic Tamil rebels demanding an independent Tamil nation because of perceived discrimination by governments dominated by the Sinhalese majority. U.N. estimates say 80,000 to 100,000 people were killed during the war, which ended in 2009; other reports suggest the toll could be much higher. With 40 costumed elephants lining the airport road behind him and a 21-canon salute booming out, Francis said that finding true peace after so much bloodshed 'can only be done by overcoming evil with good, and by cultivating those virtues which foster reconciliation, solidarity and peace.' About 40 costumed elephants lined the airport road while a 21-canon salute boomed out before Francis spoke of 'finding true peace' He did not specifically mention Sri Lanka's refusal to cooperate with a U.N. investigation into alleged war crimes committed in the final months of the war. But he said: 'The process of healing also needs to include the pursuit of truth, not for the sake of opening old wounds, but rather as a necessary means of promoting justice, healing and unity.' A 2011 U.N. report said up to 40,000 Tamil civilians may have been killed in the last months of the civil war, and accused both sides of serious human rights violations. It said the government was suspected of deliberately shelling civilians and hospitals and preventing food and medicine from getting to civilians trapped in the war zone. The Tamil Tiger rebels were accused of recruiting child soldiers and holding civilians as human shields and firing from among them. A few months after the U.N. report was released, the government of longtime President Mahinda Rajapaksa released its own Lessons Learnt and Reconciliation Commission findings, which concluded that Sri Lanka's military didn't intentionally target civilians at the end of the war and that the rebels routinely violated international humanitarian law. The Vatican estimated that some 200,000-300,000 people lined Francis' route in from the airport. Sri Lankan Hindu priest Kurakkal Somasundaram, right, presents a shawl to Pope Francis during an inter-religious meeting in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka's new president, Maithripala Sirisena who unseated Rajapaksa last week, has promised to launch a domestic inquiry into wartime abuses, but has also pledged to protect everyone who contributed to the defeat of the Tamil Tiger separatists from international legal action. Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said the responsibility for finding the truth was Sri Lanka's alone and stressed that Francis had made clear that the goal of determining the truth isn't to open old wounds. Sirisena, who was sworn in Friday, told Francis in the airport welcoming ceremony that his government aims to promote 'peace and friendship among our people after overcoming a cruel terrorist conflict.' 'We are a people who believe in religious tolerance and coexistence based on our centuries-old heritage,' he said. Wind blows the mantle of Pope Francis as he delivers his speech at Colombo's International airport, Sri Lanka. An aide gives assistance to Pope Francis after the wind blew his mantle around his face during a speech. Pope Francis arrived in Sri Lanka bearing a message of peace and reconciliation among different faiths on the island as he began a two-nation Asia tour. In a show of that coexistence, the pope's welcome ceremony at Colombo's airport featured traditional dancers and drummers from both ethnic groups and a children's choir serenading him in both of Sri Lanka's languages. Tamils, however, say they are still discriminated against, and human rights activists said the previous government wasn't serious about probing rights abuses. The Vatican estimated that some 200,000-300,000 people lined Francis' route in from the airport. After resting, Francis met with Sirisena privately at the presidential palace in the late afternoon and then rallied to greet dozens of saffron-robbed Buddhist monks and representatives of Sri Lanka's other main religions. At one point, he donned a saffron shawl over his shoulders, a traditional Tamil sign of honor. The pope's welcome ceremony at Colombo's airport featured traditional dancers and drummers from both ethnic groups and a children's choir serenading him in both of Sri Lanka's languages. Francis is the first pope to visit Sri Lanka since the government crushed a 25-year civil war by ethnic Tamil rebels. 'What is needed now is healing and unity, not further division and conflict,' Francis told the audience. 'It is my hope that interreligious and ecumenical cooperation will demonstrate that men and women do not have to forsake their identity, whether ethnic or religious, in order to live in harmony with their brothers and sisters.' Some 70 percent of Sri Lankans are Buddhist - most from the Sinhalese ethnic group. Another 13 percent are Hindu, most of them Tamil, and some 10 percent are Muslim. Catholics make up less than 7 percent of the island nation's 20 million people, but the church counts both Sinhalese and Tamils as members and sees itself as a strong source of national unity. When John Paul visited in 1995, Buddhist representatives boycotted his interfaith meeting to protest his views on the Buddhist concept of salvation. Later in the day the pope flies into Tamil territory to pray at a shrine beloved by both Sinhalese and Tamil faithful. Elephants lined the route from Colombo's International airport ahead of the pope's arrival. Journalists travelling with the pope from Rome said he appeared on good form during the flight. 'It is a blessing and will be helpful for interreligious friendship,' said the Rev. Wimalananda, a young Buddhist monk, who was out on the street to welcome the pope. Francis arrived just days after Rajapaksa was upset in an election he had called. The victor, Sirisena, had defected from the ruling party in November in a surprise move and won the election by capitalsing on Rajapaksa's unpopularity among ethnic and religious minorities. On Wednesday, Francis will canonise Sri Lanka's first saint, the Rev. Joseph Vaz, a 17th-century missionary from India who is credited with having revived the Catholic faith among both Sinhalese and Tamils amid persecution by Dutch colonial rulers, who were Calvinists. Colombo's beachfront Galle Face Green was filling up on Tuesday evening with people who planned to camp out overnight to secure a good spot for the Mass. Later in the day he flies into Tamil territory to pray at a shrine beloved by both Sinhalese and Tamil faithful. On Thursday he heads to the Philippines, the largest Roman Catholic country in Asia and the third-largest in the world, for the second and final leg of the journey.

Summarize:
Politicians across the Continent have been questioning the impact on the Brexit talks.
Jean-Claude Juncker, head of the European Commission, said he wanted discussions to proceed without delay.
"As far as the Commission is concerned we can open negotiations tomorrow morning at half past nine," he said.
"First we have to agree on the divorce and exit modalities, and then we have to envisage the architecture of our future relations. I do hope that the result of the elections will have no major impact on the negotiations we are desperately waiting for."
Sweden's former Prime Minister Carl Bildt, who now chairs the European Council on Foreign Relations think-tank, called the outcome "messy".
"One mess risks following another. Price to be paid for lack of true leadership," he tweeted.
Brexit negotiator Guy Verhofstadt, who is president of the Alliance of Liberals & Democrats for Europe in the European Parliament, had caustic words for Mrs May.
"Yet another own goal, after Cameron now May, will make already complex negotiations even more complicated," he tweeted.
Michel Barnier, the EU's chief negotiator for Brexit, had a more conciliatory message. "#Brexit negotiations should start when UK is ready; timetable and EU positions are clear. Let's put our minds together on striking a deal," he said.
European Council President Donald Tusk alluded to the March 2019 deadline for Brexit talks.
"We don't know when Brexit talks start. We know when they must end. Do your best to avoid a 'no deal' as result of 'no negotiations'," he wrote.
The EU's foreign policy chief, Federica Mogherini, said it was uncertain when Britain would have a clear Brexit strategy.
"One year after their referendum, we still don't know the British position in the negotiations on Brexit and it seems difficult to predict when we will, because democracy often requires time," she observed.
A spokeswoman for German Chancellor Angela Merkel said her government would not comment on the election result out of "politeness and respect" while the process of forming a new government was ongoing.
Meanwhile Irish Prime Minister-elect Leo Varadkar was positive about the outcome.
"The results of the UK election indicate to me that there is no strong mandate to proceed with a hard Brexit, which represents an opportunity for Ireland," he said.
He also described the result as an opportunity to re-engage in talks to restore Northern Ireland's devolved power-sharing administration, which collapsed in January.
Mrs May is expected to form a government with the backing of Northern Ireland's Democratic Unionists.
European newspapers have been focusing on the uncertainty about Mrs May's future and the anger among Britain's voters.
In the first official comment by the White House, President Trump said the result was "surprising", but offered no further insight.
The Washington Post newspaper noted the unpredictable nature of recent British politics.
"The results mark the second time in as many years that the British body politic has defied predictions, scrambled the country's direction and bucked the will of a prime minister who had gambled by calling a vote when none had been required," it said.
"But unlike last year's EU referendum - which delivered a clear if close verdict to get out of the bloc - the will of the voters who cast ballots Thursday was not nearly as easy to decipher."
Looking east from London, the Chinese press offered largely factual reports, with little comment except to say the result would have a "huge" impact on Brexit discussions.
In Hong Kong, independent outlets said the Tories had made a "grave miscalculation".
Shi Zhiqin, a professor from Tsinghua University in Beijing, said China might no longer see the need to keep Britain as a strong ally in the EU.
"But I think Britain's main concern is to keep China as a trade partner after it lost the EU market," he told the South China Morning Post.
In Russia, state-owned news agency RIA Novosti is claiming the Conservatives will not forgive Theresa May for the result, and predicts a new prime minister.
On the morning of 9 June, state-run rolling news channel Rossiya 24 called it "Theresa May's devastating defeat."
A correspondent for Qatar-funded Al Jazeera TV, which ran a special segment on the polls, said the opposition Labour Party led by Jeremy Corbyn had led a "fierce campaign that the Conservative Party did not expect".
The results were covered prominently on some Lebanese newspaper websites, with the front page of left-wing Al Akhbar newspaper reading: "Britain: Corbyn brings down the hopes of the Conservatives."
In India, newspapers are taking an interest in Preet Gill, who has become the UK's first Sikh woman MP, and Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi, the first turban-wearing Sikh winner.
Indian headlines also concluded that the result was a setback for Theresa May, with the Hindustan Times calling it a "stunning blow" for the prime minister.
Labour boosted its number of seats by 29 overnight, exciting Corbyn supporters abroad.
US Senator Bernie Sanders, the former Democratic presidential candidate, told the Washington Post he was thrilled.
"I am delighted to see Labour do so well. All over the world people are rising up against austerity and massive levels of income and wealth inequality.
"People in the UK, the US and elsewhere want governments that represent all the people, not just the 1%. I congratulate Jeremy Corbyn for running a very positive and effective campaign."
Bill Shorten, leader of the Australian Labor Party, made similar observations, telling reporters:
"One of the things which my counterpart, the Labour leader in the United Kingdom, did is he campaigned and his slogan was 'For the many, not the few.'
"I think Mr Turnbull [Australia's prime minister] would be well advised to look at the popularity of that message."
Summary: | The result of the UK election, with the ruling Conservatives unexpectedly losing their overall majority, has sent shockwaves across Europe and beyond. | 0 | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |
Article:He was speaking in a Channel 4 documentary to be shown next week.
Downing Street said his comments were "deeply concerning", while Labour branded them "shocking".
Mr Farage told the BBC his remarks, recorded last autumn, had been "wilfully misinterpreted", saying he was talking about nationality not race.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4's Today Programme he said he was making the point that employers should be able to discriminate in favour of British workers.
"I didn't mention race at all. There was no part of that interview which I ever said it at all.
"What I said was that I do believe there should be a presumption for British employers in favour of them employing British people as opposed to somebody from Poland. That is exactly what I said," he added.
The Channel 4 programme makers say they have not misrepresented Mr Farage's views.
"He was asked a direct question on whether there would be a law against discrimination on the grounds of race or colour and he replied no," they said.
BBC assistant political editor Norman Smith said Mr Farage was "backing away" from what were perhaps the "most contentious" remarks in the documentary, aware of the "fury" they had caused.
"In that documentary he was talking about scrapping equalities legislation, now he's talking about reframing employment legislation; they are two entirely different things," he said.
Mr Farage's original comments came during an interview with the former head of the Equalities and Human Rights Commission, Trevor Phillips, for a Channel 4 documentary called Things We Won't Say About Race That Are True.
He said that while concern over preventing racial discrimination in employment "would probably have been valid" 40 years ago, it is not today.
"If I talked to my children... about the question of race, they wouldn't know what I was talking about," he was reported to say.
He also said he would get rid of "much of" existing legislation.
Analysis, BBC political correspondent Robin Brant
Nigel Farage the libertarian is back. Or at least that is one way of reading it. Race discrimination laws are no longer needed he says. It is a state intervention that time has made redundant.
The problem, as he sees it, is a form of national discrimination; forced upon the UK by Brussels.
As the UK economy recovers, UKIP believes Britons are only partly benefitting. From Clacton to Castle Point to Cleethorpes - key areas for Nigel Farage's party in the general election - UKIP thinks the fall in unemployment has seen jobs go to Europeans over, or as well as, Brits.
"British jobs for British workers" (as former Labour Prime Minister Gordon Brown once said) is the answer, according to the UKIP leader.
Do not forget that the current Labour leader, Ed Miliband, wants to change things that he thinks are making the labour market unfair for British workers, by stopping firms recruiting solely from abroad.
And when asked if he would retain a ban on discrimination on the grounds of race or colour, he said: "No... because we take the view, we are colour-blind. We as a party are colour-blind."
Criticising recruitment laws, he said: "I think the employer should be much freer to make decisions on who she or he employs.
"I think the situation that we now have, where an employer is not allowed to choose between a British-born person and somebody from Poland, is a ludicrous state of affairs.
"I would argue that the law does need changing, and that if an employer wishes to choose, or you can use the word 'discriminate' if you want to, but wishes to choose to employ a British-born person, they should be allowed to do so."
Asked about his remarks on Today, Mr Farage said: "My comments have been wilfully misinterpreted. I have made no comments about the Race Relations Act at all.
"I have made comments in favour of British people getting jobs over and above those from southern eastern Europe."
The UKIP leader said he was speaking up for Britain's unemployed youth "both black and white", saying the young black community had suffered the biggest rise in unemployment as a result of immigration.
He said Gordon Brown, as Labour prime minister, spoke of British jobs for British workers, adding: "Well I'm saying it and really meaning it."
The prime minister, David Cameron, condemned Mr Farage's calls to scrap equalities legislation as "completely wrong and frankly pretty appalling".
He said the laws were there to protect people from being discriminated against on the basis of the colour of their skin.
Labour leader Ed Miliband said the UKIP leader's comments were "wrong, divisive and dangerous", and accused him of "stoking up division".
The party's justice spokesman Sadiq Khan accused Mr Farage of "breathtaking ignorance" and told the BBC it was troubling to hear a mainstream politician make such comments.
During his regular LBC radio phone-in, Lib Dem Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg said he "strongly disagreed" with Mr Farage, who he said was "irresponsible" to conflate issues with employment legislation to problems like violent extremism and Sharia law.
And Unite union general secretary Len McCluskey accused the UKIP leader of "dangerous crude dog whistle politics".
There were 3,064 racial discrimination in the workplace cases lodged in 2013-14, down from 4,818 in the previous year.
The sharp fall came in the same year the government introduced fees to begin proceedings at an Employment Tribunal, to reduce their numbers.

Use the following highlights to write an article:
Tom Cleverley joined on loan from Manchester United last week. He and Fabian Delph will learn from Paul Lambert and assistant Roy Keane. The pair have over 1,300 senior appearances between them and 28 trophies. Both captained their title-winning sides on hundreds of occasions. Cleverley has been ousted from the England team, while Delph made his debut last week against Norway and performed well against Switzerland.
Article: | Fabian Delph made his England debut last week against Norway, the first Aston Villa player since November 2011 to represent the Three Lions when Darren Bent made the last of his 13 caps in a 1-0 win over Sweden. Delph should earn plenty more after an assured performance in Switzerland on Monday. Tom Cleverley made the last of his 13 England caps in November last year in a 1-0 defeat to Germany, and may struggle to find another. The men best equipped to retain Delph's form and regain Cleverley's are Roy Keane and Paul Lambert. Scroll down for VIDEOS... Roy Keane (right) joined boss Paul Lambert as Aston Villa's assistant manager in the summer. Fabian Delph (left) and Tom Cleverley (right) should partner each other in Villa's midfield this season. Villa appointed the former Manchester United midfielder as Lambert's assistant in the summer, a desperate attempt to bring fight and passion to a side that stuttered to 15th in the previous two seasons. Silverware is a distant memory at Villa Park - 1996 was the last time fans saw it - but the managerial partnership have 28 major wins between them, including two European Cups. Delph and Cleverley would struggle to find two better midfield role models. Every training session should be an education for the pair; both Keane and Lambert captained multiple title-winning teams and their national side from the heart of the pitch,. Lambert played over 600 times in Scotland and Germany, winning numerous titles. Keane lifts the Champions League with Manchester United in 1999, despite being banned for the final. There was some trepidation over Keane's move to the Midlands. Keane would either lift Villa or sink them further, depending on what mood he was in and how he would work with Lambert. But one positive of the move was his potential influence on a middle core that had taken a beating in the last two years, a huge step down from the midfield of James Milner, Stylian Petrov, Gareth Barry and Ashley Young of four years previous. Delph has already gone from strength to strength this season, continuing his form from the past 18 months and finally turning Hodgson's head enough for a call up. He doesn't play quite like Keane and Lambert did; he is more athletic, frantic but superb on the ball, and likes to leave his foot in. Keane's influence on the 1999 campaign was huge, and is seen as one of United's best ever midfielders. Keane lifts the Premier League trophy in 1999 (left) as Lambert lifts the Champions League in 1997. Keane will know what Cleverley went through at Old Trafford; he will have seen numerous youngsters come through the ranks and fail to live up to the hype. But Villa's assistant will also be aware that both Hodgson and David Moyes saw something in the 25-year-old when it seemed 99 per cent of the country didn't. He will strive, alongside Lambert, to turn that promise into a reality. Villa's other midfield men, 24-year-old Ashley Westwood, who was playing in League Two just over two years ago, and Colombian Carlos Sanchez, brought in from Elche in the summer, will not be neglected. Cleverley in Villa training this week, with Delph in the background after returning from England duty. Delph is on the rise in Roy Hodgson's eyes, while Cleverley may struggle to get back into the England side. Westwood in particular, who may lose his place in the starting XI to Cleverley, will need to show he can take the leap from being a reliable midfielder to a commanding influence on a game, and who better to learn from than the men with over 1,300 senior appearances between them. The Keane and Lambert partnership may have sounded like a ticking time bomb at the start of the season, but they seem to have welcomed each other with open arms (despite the video below) and Villa have enjoyed a fine start to the season. The next five games - against Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and Everton - will test their resolve. | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

I love this place. I've been going here an embarrassingly amount of times per week for the past year and I guess I'm too busy wolfing down food to write a review. I'd consider myself a pho connoisseur and I can say without a doubt, best pho in Vegas. Well best pho broth in Vegas. I always get the veggie pho. I'm far from a vegetarian I just don't like meat swimming in my soup. I'm a big fan of their other items- favorites are their shrimp papaya salad (BEST I've ever had outside of Thailand), house friend rice with scrumptious Chinese sausage and shrimp, the shaking beef melts in your mouth, beef wrap shrimp are better than Christmas morning and their egg rolls. Oh Those egg rolls. If I were to find out the filling was in fact not pork, but old tires and rat feet, I would still gladly inhale them. Their vermicelli with pork, pork skin and shrimp is also delectable. I dump coconut Cream on top to make it a real party . Very cute inside after the recent remodel. The staff is very friendly and kind. They know me by my voice when I call to get to go which is great and embarrassing. I don't care.
