Write an article with the title: "What advice would you give yourself 10 years ago?"
Article: |
Answer by Auren Hoffman, LiveRamp CEO. Started & sold 5 companies (and many more that failed)
Focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. We are moving into a winner-take-all world and to win, you need to differentiate.
Most people (including my ten-year-ago self) improved by focusing on their faults. People who focus on their faults can eventually improve them to a point where they are no longer obstacles, but doing so will not propel them to success. A better strategy is to focus on one or two of the things at which you excel and hone those skills or talents to the point of excellence. Working on your faults might help you make a living, but honing your talents may help you change the world.
The impulse to focus on your weaknesses is a vestigial remain of an outmoded era in our evolution. I’m writing this in January (2015) so it is a good time to review your New Year’s Resolutions. My resolutions from 2005 were mostly about working on my flaws. And like many determined people, I did make improvement. But that improvement came at the expense of what could-have-been if I had worked on going from good-to-great on my strengths.
Suppose you are really good at developing computer algorithms and really bad at showing up on time. It might take an X amount of effort to become really great at computer algorithms and let’s say it takes X/4 effort to become average at showing up on time. Both are improvements that increase your value, but being great at computer algorithms will pay exponential dividends (even though it is harder to achieve). And even better for you, since you are already good at computer algorithms, it means you probably enjoy it and so that time improving will be really fun too.

PARIS, France (CNN) -- Filmmaker Roman Polanski, arrested in Switzerland over the weekend, will fight extradition to the United States where he faces sentencing for having sex with a 13-year-old girl, his California lawyers said Monday. Roman Polanski attends a film premiere in Paris, France, in June 2009.

Please answer a question about the following article about British Empire:
The last decades of the 19th century saw concerted political campaigns for Irish home rule. Ireland had been united with Britain into the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland with the Act of Union 1800 after the Irish Rebellion of 1798, and had suffered a severe famine between 1845 and 1852. Home rule was supported by the British Prime minister, William Gladstone, who hoped that Ireland might follow in Canada's footsteps as a Dominion within the empire, but his 1886 Home Rule bill was defeated in Parliament. Although the bill, if passed, would have granted Ireland less autonomy within the UK than the Canadian provinces had within their own federation, many MPs feared that a partially independent Ireland might pose a security threat to Great Britain or mark the beginning of the break-up of the empire. A second Home Rule bill was also defeated for similar reasons. A third bill was passed by Parliament in 1914, but not implemented because of the outbreak of the First World War leading to the 1916 Easter Rising.

JOBA CHAMBERLAIN DOMINANT AS YANKEES BEAT PIRATES 10-0
Last updated: 10:40 pmJune 25, 2008 Posted: 10:35 pmJune 25, 2008
Joba Chamberlain was dominant in his first major league win as a starter and the New York Yankees bounced back from one of their worst losses of the season, routing the Pittsburgh Pirates 10-0 Wednesday night.
Derek Jeter went 3-for-3 and scored three runs, Bobby Abreu had a three-run homer among his three hits and Robinson Cano added a solo shot as the Yankees got 16 hits to shake off a 12-5 loss Tuesday that prompted manager Joe Girardi to say they "stunk."
The Yankees, winning their ninth in 12 games, were helped by two throwing errors by normally reliable Pirates shortstop Jack Wilson while taking a 3-0 lead in the third against Zach Duke (4-5). Abreu and Cano both went deep in a four-run sixth against reliever T.J. Beam.
Not that Chamberlain (2-2) needed much help while winning for the first time in five career starts. He regularly hit 99 mph on the radar gun while striking out seven and walking one in 6 2-3 innings. He threw 114 pitches.
Chamberlain has a 2.03 ERA since making his first start June 3 - and the Yankees are 4-1 when he starts - but he didn't get a decision in any of his first four starts. He has allowed only two runs in his last 18 1-3 innings.
The Pirates had some chances while getting six hits against Chamberlain, but didn't do anything with them.
With the Yankees up 2-0 in the second, Ryan Doumit was cut down at home plate by 10 feet on a strong throw by right fielder Abreu while trying to score from second on Wilson's two-out single with Duke up next. Nyjer Morgan struck out with runners on first and third in the fifth, and reliever Ross Ohlendorf struck out Morgan after Chamberlain was lifted with two on in the seventh.
Jeter ran his hitting streak to 13 games with a double in the first. Abreu singled and both scored on what initially looked to be a double play ball to shortstop. But Wilson threw wildly on Jason Giambi's grounder, with Giambi credited with an RBI and Abreu scoring on the error.
Jeter beat out a single to shortstop and moved to second when Wilson again threw wildly for an error to start the third, and Giambi followed with a run-scoring single. Jeter's RBI double in the fourth made it 4-0.
Duke, denied his first three-game winning streak of the season, gave up seven hits and four runs, three earned, in five innings.
With outfielders Johnny Damon (sore left arch) and Hideki Matsui (knee) still out of the Yankees' lineup, rookie Justin Christian started again in left field and reached on a single and a walk. He has three hits in his first two major league games.
Notes: Pirates OF Xavier Nady, out since June 14 with a sore shoulder, might return Thursday. ... Yankees RHP Phil Hughes made 25 throws from around 60 feet in Tampa, Fla., the first throwing he's done since fracturing a rib in April. He isn't expected to return until August. ... Abreu's homer was his 10th and second in two nights. His homer in the ninth inning Tuesday was the Yankees' first in 47 innings. ... Cano's homer was his fifth. ... Beam, likely to be sent to the minors Thursday, pitched in 20 games for the Yankees in 2006. ... Chamberlain became the first Yankees pitcher to win in Pittsburgh since Hall of Famer Whitey Ford shut out the Pirates 12-0 in Game 6 of the 1960 World Series.

Brad, Texas (CNN) -- Authorities were working on plans Friday for residents who were forced to flee a wildfire in northern Texas to return home, a day after firefighters made progress battling the blaze that destroyed dozens of homes. The blaze in Palo Pinto County scorched 6,200 acres by Thursday, according to the Texas Forest Service. The fire is burning near the resort of Possum Kingdom Lake, near the town of Brad, about 100 miles west of Dallas. "We feel much better about this fire today," as the blaze is now 50% contained, said John Nichols, a spokesman for the Forest Service. He said evacuations were lifted for some residents forced to evacuate the fire, which was driven by high temperatures and dry winds. The wildfire has destroyed 40 homes and nine RVs since it began Tuesday, the Forest Service said Thursday. Firefighters were receiving support from aerial tankers and helicopters. Authorities are mapping out plans to allow residents to return to their homes, said Palo Pinto County Sheriff Ira Mercer. Authorities also are trying to open the lake for the Labor Day holiday, he said. On Wednesday, evacuations were ordered in several communities on the north side of the lake after the fire charged over a ridge and approached a dam on the lake, CNN affiliate WFAA reported. The wildfire was moving so fast that the Forest Service pulled out of its command observation post, telling journalists and onlookers to get out of the way of the fire. "My house is right through here, though it may be gone," Tom Hardeston told WFAA as he watched the fire. Nearby ranchers battled to save their herds from the encroaching fire. "I'm just moving them from pasture to pasture," Cindi McCoy told WFAA, referring to her livestock. "As one pasture burns, I'm moving them back to that one and bring(ing) them back around."

The company said it was a record trading profit with sales increases in most market segments.
The strong performance came despite an increase in the cost of wool and the strength of sterling, which makes its exports more expensive.
The company said trading conditions in the Eurozone continued to be difficult as most countries have failed to "achieve significant growth in GDP".
It added that by contrast the UK economy was continuing to improve, which should increase demand for its products.
In particular, the firm pointed to improving demand for its Axminster products in the residential market.

Ward won the 1993 Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award, and Davey O'Brien Award as a quarterback for Florida State University, and subsequently led the Seminoles to their first-ever National Championship when FSU defeated Nebraska 18-16 in the 1993 Orange Bowl. The Seminoles had suffered their only defeat of the season to a second-ranked Notre Dame team, but their path to the National Championship was cleared a week later when the Irish were upset at home by Boston College. Ward holds the third-largest margin of victory in the history of Heisman trophy balloting, with a 1,622-point difference, third only to O.J. Simpson's 1,750-point win in 1968 and Troy Smith's 1,662-point win in 2006. He was also the only Heisman winner to play in the NBA. In 1993, Charlie Ward won the James E. Sullivan Award from the Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) as the most outstanding amateur athlete in the United States. Though Ward did not play baseball in college, he was drafted as a pitcher by the Milwaukee Brewers in the 59th round of the 1993 free agent draft and in the 18th round by the New York Yankees in 1994. An avid tennis player, Ward also shone in the Arthur Ashe Amateur Tennis Tournament in 1994. Ward was a model student-athlete at Florida State. As a senior and captain of the team in 1993, he voluntarily approached Seminoles head coach Bobby Bowden about a difficult situation surrounding incoming freshman Warrick Dunn, whose mother, policewoman Betty Smothers, was killed in the line of duty during Dunn's senior year of high school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Charlie served as a surrogate big brother to Dunn during the latter's first year in Tallahassee, helping him through a trying time by becoming his roommate and friend. With Ward's help on and off the field, Dunn eventually became one of the better running backs in the country and a first-round NFL draft pick. Ward also played basketball for four years at Florida State University (FSU). Former teammates included future NBA players Bob Sura, Doug Edwards, and Sam Cassell. His 1993 team made it to the Southeast Regional Final where they lost to Kentucky 106-81 with the winner advancing to the Final Four. Ward's 1992 team made the Sweet Sixteen. He made the game-winning shot in its Metro Conference Tournament Championship game win over Louisville in 1991. Ward still holds FSU basketball records for career steals at 236, steals in one game at 9 and still ranks sixth all-time in assists at 396. He played a shortened season his senior year, joining the basketball team just 15 days after winning the Heisman Trophy. He started 16 games at the point guard position that year, and averaged a college career high of 10.5 points and 4.9 assists for the season. In his senior year at Florida State, he also served as Student Government Vice-President, after he was asked to run by the Monarchy Party, a student government reform organization.

(CNN) -- Japan's prime minister conceded defeat in parliamentary elections Sunday, signaling the return to power of the Liberal Democratic Party and ending the brief rule of the disappointing upstart Democratic Party of Japan. Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda pledged to step down as party president after exit polls showed a smashing loss in lower house voting. The party, once seen as a breath of fresh air in Japanese politics, came to be regarded as increasingly ineffective. "We got a regrettable result," Noda said. "The result is everything in the politics. The biggest responsibility lies on me. I will quit as the partly leader of DPJ." The move clears the way for the return to power of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, the current leader of the conservative-leaning Liberal Democratic Party, or LDP. "The Japanese people will be keenly looking whether the LDP can meet with their expectations," Abe said in interviews after the polling. The LDP ruled the country almost continuously since its establishment in 1955 until it was forced from power three years ago by the DPJ. Public broadcaster NHK said the LDP and its coalition partner, the new Komei party, gained at least 302 seats in the 480-seat lower house. CNN's main affiliate, TV Asahi, reports the LDP/Komei coalition gained at least 312 seats. The official count is expected to be released Monday. The LDP is inheriting a struggling economy, regional tensions and questions over Japan's role in Asia. "The economy is at the bottom. It's our first mission to turn it around," Abe said.

The world's oldest known child has been discovered in East Africa in an area known appropriately as the Cradle of Humanity. The 3.3-million-year-old fossilized toddler was uncovered in north Ethiopia's badlands along the Great Rift Valley (map of Ethiopia).

The fire that engulfed the Porsche carrying actor Paul Walker apparently did not erupt until a minute after the car clipped a light pole Saturday. That conclusion is based on security camera video obtained by CNN that shows black smoke starting to rise from the crash scene 60 seconds after it shows the light pole and a tree falling. Could Walker and the other occupant in the car have made it out in those 60 seconds? That's hard to tell. The two may have died on impact when the car struck the light pole. The answer might be clearer when the coroner's office releases its preliminary findings of the autopsies of the remains of two men -- presumed to be Walker and friend Roger Rodas, a coroner's officer said.

By Alex Ward PUBLISHED: 11:50 EST, 16 August 2012 | UPDATED: 12:16 EST, 16 August 2012 Swedish police have come under fire after revelations that the nation’s most dangerous serial killer is a compulsive liar who made up confessions to 30 murders. Seen as exceptional crime solvers thanks to the fictional Swedish detective Inspector Wallander, Swedish police have been left red-faced after a book about notorious serial killer Thomas Quick claims he simply made up his confessions and police took his word. Quick was jailed in 1990 for armed robbery and during his compulsory psychotherapy sessions he confessed to murders in Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finland. He has been convicted of eight murders between 1976 and 1885 and confessed to another 25.

At the end of the last ice age, what are now the British Isles were joined to the European mainland as a mass of land extending north west from the modern-day northern coastline of France, Belgium and the Netherlands. Ice covered almost all of what is now Scotland, most of Ireland and Wales, and the hills of northern England. From 14,000 to 10,000 years ago, as the ice melted, sea levels rose separating Ireland from Great Britain and also creating the Isle of Man. About two to four millennia later, Great Britain became separated from the mainland. Britain probably became repopulated with people before the ice age ended and certainly before it became separated from the mainland. It is likely that Ireland became settled by sea after it had already become an island.

Nordic conquerers set up a winter camp "larger than most contemporary towns" inhabited by "warriors, women and children", it is claimed.
A virtual version of the site, at Torksey, Lincolnshire, has been recreated for a new exhibition.
It is to open at the Yorkshire Museum on Friday.
Researchers at York and Sheffield universities said the camp would have existed at AD872-873.
Prof Dawn Hadley said Torksey was "a huge base", at least 55 hectares in size.
Read more about this and other stories from across Yorkshire
The army chose Torksey, near the River Trent and 13km from Lincoln, as a suitable defensive and strategic position for their winter base, academics said.
As part of the exhibition, visitors can use a virtual reality mask to watch animations of camp inhabitants repairing ships on the shore, melting down stolen precious metals and playing games.
Prof Julian Richards, from York University's archaeology department, said: "These extraordinary images offer a fascinating snap shot of life at a time of great upheaval in Britain.
"The Vikings had previously often raided exposed coastal monasteries and returned to Scandinavia in winter, but in the later ninth century they came in larger numbers, and decided to stay. This sent a very clear message that they now planned not only to loot and raid - but to control and conquer."
All the scenes are based on objects found by archaeologists and metal detectors at Torksey including more than 300 coins and 50 pieces of chopped up silver such as brooch fragments and ingot.
The exhibition also features objects from the British Museum including jewellery and coins from the hoards of Cuerdale, Vale of York Viking and Bedale.
It runs until 5 November before going on a UK tour.

Background: Benjamin Lee Whorf (; April 24, 1897 - July 26, 1941) was an American linguist and fire prevention engineer. Whorf is widely known as an advocate for the idea that differences between the structures of different languages shape how their speakers perceive and conceptualize the world. This principle has frequently been called the "Sapir-Whorf hypothesis", after him and his mentor Edward Sapir, but Whorf called it the principle of linguistic relativity, because he saw the idea as having implications similar to Einstein's principle of physical relativity. Throughout his life Whorf was a chemical engineer by profession, but as a young man he took up an interest in linguistics.
Context: If read superficially, some of Whorf's statements lend themselves to the interpretation that he supported linguistic determinism. For example, in an often-quoted passage Whorf writes: We dissect nature along lines laid down by our native language. The categories and types that we isolate from the world of phenomena we do not find there because they stare every observer in the face; on the contrary, the world is presented in a kaleidoscope flux of impressions which has to be organized by our minds--and this means largely by the linguistic systems of our minds. We cut nature up, organize it into concepts, and ascribe significances as we do, largely because we are parties to an agreement to organize it in this way--an agreement that holds throughout our speech community and is codified in the patterns of our language. The agreement is of course, an implicit and unstated one, but its terms are absolutely obligatory; we cannot talk at all except by subscribing to the organization and classification of data that the agreement decrees. We are thus introduced to a new principle of relativity, which holds that all observers are not led by the same physical evidence to the same picture of the universe, unless their linguistic backgrounds are similar, or can in some way be calibrated. The statements about the obligatory nature of the terms of language have been taken to suggest that Whorf meant that language completely determined the scope of possible conceptualizations. However neo-Whorfians argue that here Whorf is writing about the terms in which we speak of the world, not the terms in which we think of it. Whorf noted that to communicate thoughts and experiences with members of a speech community speakers must use the linguistic categories of their shared language, which requires moulding experiences into the shape of language to speak them--a process called "thinking for speaking". This interpretation is supported by Whorf's subsequent statement that "No individual is free to describe nature with absolute impartiality, but is constrained by certain modes of interpretation even when he thinks himself most free". Similarly the statement that observers are led to different pictures of the universe has been understood as an argument that different conceptualizations are incommensurable making translation between different conceptual and linguistic systems impossible. Neo-Whorfians argue this to be is a misreading since throughout his work one of his main points was that such systems could be "calibrated" and thereby be made commensurable, but only when we become aware of the differences in conceptual schemes through linguistic analysis.

Alleged surviving attacker from Mumbai terror attacks seeks Pakistani help. Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab writes letter to Pakistan's High Commission. India officials say Kasab has admitted he and other attackers were Pakistani.
Article: | The alleged surviving attacker from last month's Mumbai terror attacks is seeking help from Pakistani officials, India said Monday. Guests arrive at the reopening of the Taj Mahal Palace hotel in Mumbai. The suspect, Mohammed Ajmal Amir Kasab, wrote a letter to Pakistan's High Commission in India that was handed over to Pakistan's acting high commissioner in New Delhi on Monday evening, India's foreign ministry said. Asked about the statement, Pakistan's foreign ministry said the government in Islamabad "has so far not received any information or evidence relating to the Mumbai incident from the government of India." According to India's foreign ministry, Kasab, 21, stated in his letter that he and the other attackers were from Pakistan and asked for a meeting with Pakistan's High Commission. Indian authorities said Kasab had admitted he was one of 10 gunmen who attacked several targets in Mumbai on November 26, sparking three days of battles with police and Indian troops in the heart of the city that is the hub of India's financial and entertainment industries. India said Kasab told investigators he and the others were trained for more than a year in Pakistan by Lashkar-e-Tayyiba, a banned Islamic militant group. The attacks left more than 160 people dead, as well as nine of the gunmen. Most of the deaths occurred at the Taj Mahal Palace and the Oberoi-Trident hotels, which reopened on Sunday -- three weeks after the attacks.

Roma captain Francesco Totti set a new Serie A scoring record on Saturday as his side demolished Cesena 5-1. Two early goals from the 35-year-old striker saw him reach a total of 211 goals for Roma, which means he has scored more goals for one club than any other player in Serie A history. His tally sees him surpass the previous record of 210 set by the prolific Swedish striker Gunnar Nordahl who played for AC Milan in the 1950s. "It's what I've always wanted, to wear this shirt and beat one record after another," said Totti, AFP reported. "I've overtaken Nordahl and I'm proud of that. Now I'm aiming for Altafini," he added, AFP reported. Brazilian Jose Altafini is the joint third highest scorer (along with Giuseppe Meazza) in Serie A history with 216 goals. Totti's early brace and a goal from Fabio Borini put Roma 3-0 up with only eight minutes played. Juan and Miralem Pjanic added further goals in the second half after CM Eder had pulled a goal back for Cesena on the hour mark. The win lifts Roma to sixth -- although Napoli will overtake them again if they win at Siena on Sunday -- and boosts their chances of qualifying for European football next season. Cesena, however, remain mired in trouble hovering just above the foot of the table in 18th place with 15 points.

By. Mike Dawes. The Malaysian cyclist who competed in gloves bearing the motif 'Save Gaza' at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome has announced he has avoided expulsion from the Commonwealth Games. The Commonwealth Games Federation was looking into Azizulhasni Awang's apparent political protest, which saw him hold his gloves up to a camera on Thursday to show 'Save' written across the right one and 'Gaza' on the left. The CGF seeks to avoid its competitions being used for political means, and Glasgow 2014 officials might have imposed a heavy punishment on the 26-year-old, who was set to compete in the individual sprint quarter-finals on Friday. Hot water: Malaysian cyclist Azizulhasni Awang dipslays a message saying 'Save Gaza' However it appears a warning and instruction not to wear the gloves again will be the limit of his punishment. Awang insisted his message was 'humanitarian' rather than politically charged. He wrote on Facebook: 'I feel sorry to the people who misinterpret my message. There's no such thing with political protest. Defence: Awang said the message on his gloves was not a political statement. All clear: The Malaysian will be allowed to continue his men's sprint campaign in Glasgow. 'It's from the bottom of my heart to express humanitarian.

We all stand as a human.' Mike Hooper, chief executive of the Commonwealth Games Federation, said at Friday's daily media briefing: 'The actions were investigated and we spoke with the Malaysian team management and it's a matter for the management to address. 'It's inappropriate for any form of protest in a Games venue - we respect everyone's right to protest out-with. 'He has had a strong reprimand from his team management and he has apologised.

IDYLLWILD, Calif. (AP) — A fast-moving wildfire — believed to have been sparked by arson — tore through trees, burned five homes and forced evacuation orders for an entire forest town as California sweltered under a heat wave and battled ferocious fires at both ends of the state.
The so-called Cranston Fire, which erupted Wednesday in the San Jacinto Mountains east of Los Angeles, turned into a wall of flame that torched timber and tinder-dry brush. In a matter of hours it grew to 7 1/2 square miles (19 square kilometers).
It was threatening an estimated 600 homes, authorities said.
The fire was the largest of at least five that police believe were purposely set Wednesday by a man whose car was reportedly spotted at the starting point of the blaze in Riverside County, officials said.
Brandon N. McGlover, 32, of Temecula was booked on suspicion of five counts of arson, state fire officials said. It wasn't clear whether he had an attorney.
Authorities ordered residents to leave Idyllwild and several neighboring communities, home to about 12,000 people.
William Blodgett of Idyllwild said he couldn't get home because of the fire and had to wait along with others at a gas station in nearby Mountain Center — until the fire hopped a highway and began to move in his direction.
"We were all peeling out of there as fast as we could," he told KNBC-TV. "It was apocalyptic."
Horses and other animals were taken to shelters as were several hundred children who were evacuated from summer camps. About 200 were at a local high school serving as a shelter, KCAL-TV reported.
The fire in the San Bernardino National Forest sent up a cloud 50,000 feet high that was so enormous it created its own weather in the form of lightning, the National Weather Service reported.
Throughout the day, helicopters and planes dumped water and fire retardant that turned swathes of land and homes pink. Fire engines also were stationed to protect homes.
The fire is one of several across California amid a heat wave that has seen days of triple-digit temperatures.
To the north, in the San Francisco Bay Area, at least one home burned in a fast-moving blaze in Clayton, where houses are spread out around windy roads.
Yosemite Valley, the scenic heart of the national park, was closed at noon Wednesday during the height of tourist season as smoke cast a pall on the region from a fire in the Sierra Nevada. The closure was heartbreaking for travelers, many of whom mapped out their trips months in advance to hike and climb amid the spectacular views of cascading waterfalls and sheer rock faces.
"We had one guest who planned a weeklong trip," said Tom Lambert, who owns a vacation rental property near Yosemite Valley. "It was a father-daughter trip, for her high school graduation ... Now it's done. It's sad." Another guest had to delay plans to climb Half Dome.
Officials emphasized that Yosemite wasn't in imminent danger from the fire. Authorities decided on the shutdown to allow crews to perform protective measures such as burning away brush along roadways without having to deal with traffic in the park that welcomes 4 million visitors annually.
Yosemite Valley will be closed until at least Sunday, along with a winding, mountainous, 20-mile (32-kilometer) stretch of California's State Route 41 that leads into the area, Gediman said.
At least 1,000 campground and hotel bookings were canceled — to say nothing of the impact on day visitors, park workers and small businesses along the highway, Gediman said.
The last time the 7.5-mile-long (12-kilometer-long) valley was closed because of fire was 1990, he said.
Over nearly two weeks, flames have churned through 60 square miles (155 square kilometers) of timber in steep terrain of the Sierra Nevada just west of the park. The fire was just 25 percent contained.
More than 3,300 firefighters are working the fire, aided by 16 helicopters. One firefighter was killed July 14, and six others have been injured.
In the state's far north, a 7-square-mile (18-square-kilometer) wildfire has forced the evacuation of French Gulch, a small Shasta County community that dates to the Gold Rush.

The Cranston Fire consumed at least 4,700 acres, leveled five residential structures and closed roads. As of Wednesday night, the fire was 5 percent contained.

The Cranston Fire was reported at around noon off state Route 74 in the forest area between Hemet and Mountain Center, according to the U.S. Forest Service. The fire was burning "with a rapid rate of spread," according to the USFS.

No injuries have been reported in connection with the blaze, which was zero percent contained as of Wednesday night. The cause of the fire has not been confirmed, but California Highway Patrol Officer Darren Meyer said a motorist who witnesses said was spotted "near the origin of the fire" was detained.
A light-colored sedan matching the description provided by witnesses was spotted at around 12:30 p.m. near Newport Road and State Street in Hemet, Meyer said. An enforcement stop was conducted by the CHP, Riverside County Sheriff's Department and Hemet Police Department and the driver was arrested.
Authorities had not yet confirmed whether the man captured on video being detained by officers was McGlover.
Mandatory evacuations have been ordered for residents of Idyllwild, Mountain Center along McGaugh and McCall Park roads and the communities of Pine Cove and Fern Valley.
Cranston Fire Rips Through Homes
(Published Wednesday, July 25, 2018)
"Leave the area immediately," a USFS Twitter post advised.
At least 110 homes in southwest Idyllwild have been evacuated, and officials said at least 600 more structures were threatened by the blaze. Television news footage showed at least a few homes going up in flames.
Authorities have established an evacuation center for residents and campers at Banning High School, 100 W. Westward Ave. Small animals can also be evacuated to Banning High School, while animals of all sizes can be taken to the San Jacinto Valley Animal Campus at 581 S. Grand Ave.
Road closures include state Route 74 between the Cranston Fire Station and Lake Hemet, as well as state Route 243 between the communities of Pine Cove and Mountain Center, where authorities say flames jumped the highway near the Idyllwild Grinding Facility. The fire has also taken out power to more than 7,700 Southern California Edison customers in the Idyllwild area, according to an SCE online outage map.
Full restoration was expected at around 2 a.m. Thursday. Authorities have also issued a smoke advisory for the region, advising that winds could bring smoke into various parts of Riverside County, including the Coachella Valley, Banning Pass, the Hemet/San Jacinto Valley, Perris Valley and Anza.
The advisory will be in effect through Thursday morning.
McGlover was also accused of setting several other fires Wednesday in the southwest Riverside County area and along Highway 74.
A fire information call center for the public has also been established at (909) 383-5688. |||||
Summary: | – A fast-moving wildfire—believed to have been sparked by arson—tore through trees, burned five homes, and forced evacuation orders for an entire forest town as California sweltered under a heat wave and battled ferocious fires at both ends of the state. The so-called Cranston Fire, which erupted Wednesday in the San Jacinto Mountains east of Los Angeles, turned into a wall of flame that torched timber and tinder-dry brush. In a matter of hours it grew to 7.5 square miles, threatening an estimated 600 homes and forcing the evacuation of Idyllwild, authorities say. The fire was the largest of at least five that police believe were purposely set Wednesday by a man whose car was reportedly spotted at the starting point of the blaze, the AP reports. Brandon N. McGlover, 32, of Temecula was booked on suspicion of five counts of arson, state fire officials say. Authorities ordered residents to leave Idyllwild and several neighboring communities, home to about 12,000 people. William Blodgett of Idyllwild says he couldn't get home because of the fire and had to wait along with others at a gas station—until the fire hopped a highway and began to move in his direction. "We were all peeling out of there as fast as we could," he tells KNBC. "It was apocalyptic." | 0 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

The Bills managed to get the only score of the first half, a 33-yard field goal by kicker Rian Lindell in the first quarter. It wasn't until the third quarter that the Bills were to score again when quarterback J. P. Losman threw a 4-yard pass to Josh Reed, while Lindell kicked a pair of FGs, a 45-yarder and a 43-yarder. Even though the Dolphins did manage to score in the fourth quarter on a 23-yard pass from Daunte Culpepper to Chris Chambers (with a failed 2-point conversion), the Bills defense dominated the game, sacking Culpepper seven times (along with two forced fumbles) and blocking a punt, improving the Bills to 1-1.

The Mummy 's Shroud is set in 1920 and tells the story of a team of archaeologists who come across the lost tomb of the boy Pharaoh Kah-To-Bey . The story begins with a flash back sequence to Ancient Egypt and we see the story of how Prem , a manservant of Kah-To-Bey , spirited away the boy when his father was killed in a palace coup and took him into the desert for protection . Unfortunately , the boy dies and is buried . The story then moves forward to 1920 and shows the expedition led by scientist Sir Basil Walden and business man Stanley Preston finding the tomb . They ignore the dire warning issued to them by Hasmid , a local Bedouin about the consequences for those that violate the tombs of Ancient Egypt and remove the bodies and the sacred shroud . Sir Basil is bitten by a snake just after finding the tomb . He recovers , but has a relapse after arriving back in Cairo . Preston takes advantage of this and commits him to an insane asylum , to take credit for finding the tomb and Prince 's mummy himself . Meanwhile , after being placed in the Cairo Museum , the mummy of Prem is revived when Hasmid chants the sacred oath on the shroud . The mummy then proceeds to go on a murderous rampage to kill off the members of the expedition , beginning with Sir Basil after he escapes from the asylum . One by one , those who assisted in removing the contents of the tomb to Cairo are eliminated by such grisly means as strangulation , being thrown out of windows , and having photographic acid thrown in their face .

Background: Recep Tayyip Erdogan (Turkish pronunciation: [re'dZep taj'jip 'aerdo(W)an] ( listen); born 26 February 1954) is a Turkish politician serving as the current President of Turkey, holding the position since 2014. He previously served as Prime Minister from 2003 to 2014 and as Mayor of Istanbul from 1994 to 1998. He founded the Justice and Development Party (AKP) in 2001, leading it to general election victories in 2002, 2007 and 2011 before standing down upon his election as President in 2014.
Context: Erdogan was born in 1954 in the Kasimpasa neighborhood of Istanbul, to which his family had moved from Rize Province. His parents are Ahmet Erdogan and Tenzile Erdogan. Erdogan reportedly said in 2003, "I'm a Georgian, my family is a Georgian family which migrated from Batumi to Rize." But in a 2014 televised interview on the NTV news network, he said, "You wouldn't believe the things they have said about me. They have said I am Georgian... forgive me for saying this... even much uglier things, they have even called me an Armenian, but I am Turkish." In an account based on registry records, his genealogy was tracked to an ethnic Turkish family. Erdogan spent his early childhood in Rize, where his father Ahmet Erdogan (1905 - 1988) was a Captain in the Turkish Coast Guard. Erdogan had a brother Mustafa (b. 1958) and sister Vesile (b. 1965). His summer holidays were mostly spent in Guneysu, Rize, where his family originates from. Throughout his life he often returned to this spiritual home, and in 2015 he opened a vast mosque on a mountaintop near this village. The family returned to Istanbul when Erdogan was 13 years old. As a teenager, he sold lemonade and sesame buns (simit) on the streets of the city's rougher districts to earn extra money. Brought up in an observant Muslim family, Erdogan graduated from Kasimpasa Piyale primary school in 1965, and Imam Hatip school, a religious vocational high school, in 1973. He received his high school diploma from Eyup High School. He subsequently studied Business Administration at the Aksaray School of Economics and Commercial Sciences, now known as Marmara University's Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences--although several Turkish sources dispute that he graduated. In his youth, Erdogan played semi-professional football at a local club. Fenerbahce wanted him to transfer to the club but his father prevented it. The stadium of the local football club in the district where he grew up, Kasimpasa S.K. is named after him. Erdogan married Emine Gulbaran (born 1955, Siirt) on 4 July 1978. They have two sons; Ahmet Burak and Necmettin Bilal, and two daughters, Esra and Sumeyye. His father, Ahmet Erdogan, died in 1988 and his 88-year-old mother, Tenzile Erdogan, died in 2011. He is a member of the Community of Iskenderpasa, a Turkish sufistic community of Naqshbandi tariqah.

1. Some of this stems from the association of detention at Guantanamo with the specifically anti-Islamic abuses which have reportedly occurred there , such as allegations of having a guard dog carry the Koran in its mouth , guards scrawling obscenities inside Korans , kicking Korans across the floor , urinating on the Koran , ridiculing the Koran , walking on the Koran , and tearing off the cover and throwing the Koran into trash or dirty water .
2. These associations not only make it easier for terrorists to recruit by inciting anti-American sentiments , but also harm the US ' ability to argue that the War on Terror is not directed against all Muslims .

5. The existence of Guantanamo Bay is cited by terrorists as a tool of `` the great Satan '' and is seen by Muslims in general as a demonstration of US disregard for their dignity .
6. It is , in turn , an effective tool used by terrorists and Jihadists to bring recruits on-board .
7. The highly unpopular existence of Guantanamo Bay also makes it more risky for intelligence sources to come out and provide useful information that they might otherwise be willing to provide .
8. This is because , for many Muslims , Guantnamo stands as a confirmation of the low regard in which they believe the United States holds them .

Photo by Nicolas Reusens Boden is one of the entries for the 2014 Sony World Photography Awards.
Article: | This extraordinary photograph shows the unexpected bond between a tiny tree frog and a huge beetle. The image was captured by an amateur photographer, and is one of the entries for a prestigious photography competition showcasing unique images from around the world. Nicolas Reusens Boden, from Sweden, took the picture of the red-eyed tree frog, which is around 2cm long, at the moment it landed on the back of a beetle. 'The knight and his steed': This photograph by Nicolas Reusens Boden, from Sweden, shows a red-eyed tree frog on the back of a beetle. 'Arbore sandstorm': Carlos Duarte, from Spain, took this picture of a boy in the immediate aftermath of a sandstorm in the Omo Valley, Ethiopia. 'The reunion': Portuguese photographer Sinan Dinis took this picture during a trip to Amsterdam, stitched together from four different images. He said he took it during a photography workshop in a 'controlled' environment, adding: 'The frog managed to jump to the branch where this huge titan was sleeping. 'I had my gear ready so I only had to change a few settings and shoot - the rest is history.' A selection of photographs from the 'open' category of the 2014 Sony World Photography Awards have been released in order to encourage more enthusiasts to come forward with their photos before the deadline in a month's time. 'Over the Dome': Briton Kevin John Bleasdale stood on the ground next to The O2 and photographed tourists climbing on top of the structure. 'The last summer day': Igor Kryzhko photographed a female reveller at a paint festival in Novorssiysk, Russia on August 31 this year. 'Fashion Muslim': Simone Sapienzia travelled from Italy to Istanbul's conservative Fatih district to capture the image of well-dressed women in veils. Entry: Cory Kipa from New Zealand took this photograph of a family of giraffes sheltering from the rain in a cave. Another striking image, taken by Carlos Duarte, shows the aftermath of a sandstorm which whipped through the Omo Valley in Nigeria. The photographer said: 'It was an incredible moment, women protecting themselves from the storm with their clothes, and I closed my eyes. When I thought the storm was over, I opened my eyes and I saw this boy seating on an old tree.' Sinan Dinis, from Portugal, took an eerie panoramic photograph of a ring of wooden posts standing on a beach in Amsterdam, which he dubbed 'The Reunion'. 'God offered me this moment,' he said. 'No one around, total silence and harmony, giving me the sensation that I was in the presence of a reunion, an assembly - all listening to the one in the middle, the wise one.' 'Be cheerful even in the darkest of times': Samantha Fortenberry photographed her friends during a summer rainstorm in Scottsboro, Alabama. Encounter: Joyce Le Mesurier, from Singapore, photographed a young boy trying on the mask of a resting dancer at a festival in Bhutan. 'Underground': Holger Schmidtke's image of the main subway station in Duisburg, Germany. Closer to home, Kevin John Bleasdale captured a picture of tourists climbing on top of The O2 in Greenwich, with quirky-looking buildings in the foreground. Another joyous image, by Samantha Fortenberry, shows the heart-warming sight of a group of friends cavorting in the rain during a summer swimming session in Scottsboro, Alabama. And Simone Sapienzia's entry in the competition carries a more serious message, as she shows two Muslim women in Istanbul wearing the traditional hijab, but nonetheless bearing fashionable and brightly coloured handbags and umbrellas. As well as the 'open' category for amateurs, the Sony World Photography Awards has categories for professionals, students and schoolchildren. Nostalgia: Pedro Londono describes this amusement park in Medell, Colombia as 'the place where childhood is recalled' 'Sorrow': Eugene Stulov's photograph of Lili Bolgashvili in the dressing room of the Mossovet Theatre in Moscow.

During the 1990s, several research papers and popular books wrote on what came to be called the "Mozart effect": an observed temporary, small elevation of scores on certain tests as a result of listening to Mozart's works. The approach has been popularized in a book by Don Campbell, and is based on an experiment published in Nature suggesting that listening to Mozart temporarily boosted students' IQ by 8 to 9 points. This popularized version of the theory was expressed succinctly by the New York Times music columnist Alex Ross: "researchers... have determined that listening to Mozart actually makes you smarter." Promoters marketed CDs claimed to induce the effect. Florida passed a law requiring toddlers in state-run schools to listen to classical music every day, and in 1998 the governor of Georgia budgeted $105,000 per year to provide every child born in Georgia with a tape or CD of classical music. One of the co-authors of the original studies of the Mozart effect commented "I don't think it can hurt. I'm all for exposing children to wonderful cultural experiences. But I do think the money could be better spent on music education programs."

By. Ryan Gorman. PUBLISHED:. 21:25 EST, 13 August 2013. |. UPDATED:. 04:11 EST, 14 August 2013. San Diego’s horn dog mayor has been banned from the city’s Hooters restaurants. Fresh out of a two week treatment for sexual addiction, San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has been banned from Hooters restaurants in his city, according to a spokesperson. Signs have even been posted in the front windows of each location. The ban was first discovered Monday by Francis Barraza, the executive director of the Republican Party of San Diego, and shared in a tweet. No soup, or wings, for you!: San Diego's mayor is not allowed in any of the city's Hooter's restaurants. Barraza tweeted an image of a sign in a local Hooters with the caption ‘My local hooters won't serve Bob Filner.’ A Hooters spokesperson told Slate that all San Diego Hooters have banded together to ban their depraved mayor. ‘The signs went up at our four locations in San Diego this morning,’ Melissa Fry, director of marketing for HootWinc, the west coast Hooters franchise, told the site. ‘It's not a political move for us in any way, shape, or form. We're strictly taking a stand for the fair treatment of women. At our franchise alone, we employ 1100 beautiful, talented women.’ Off limits: San Diego Hooters restaurants have banned the city's mayor from all locations. A sick man: Mayor Bob Filner of San Diego speaks at a press conference announcing his intention to seek professional help for sexual harassent issues July 26. Slate also noted that Hooters appears to have taken the signs straight from Glenn Beck. Filner rose to the national consciousness after a series of city staffers accused him of sexual harassment, spelling out lurid details to local media. One woman even accused the disgraced politician of putting her in a head lock, dragging her around the office ‘like a rag doll’ and asking when they could have sex after telling her on multiple occasions to ‘come to work without panties,’ she accused in a lawsuit. At a press conference announcing the suit, the accuser called for Filner to resign and said that ‘A man who lacks character makes a mockery of his ideas.’ Gloria Allred, the woman’s lawyer, added that the degenerate mayor needs to stop ‘treating women as pieces of meat.’ Looks familiar: Hooters apparently took the sign idea from former Fox News host Glenn Beck. A total of 14 women have accused Filner of sexual harassment, according to the Los Angeles Times. The accusations have caused the city government to distance themselves from the dishonorable Filner, even suing him for any liabilities incurred as a result of his allegedly awful behavior. A rising tide of public sentiment against the randy Democrat has even led to several city councilmen calling for a public recall of Filner and for prominent state politicians, including Senator Barbara Boxer, to publicly ask him to resign, according to reports. Despite a two week absence, Filner is taking yet another leave from his post, according to the Times, which reported the mayor will take ‘personal time’ this week. Charges have not yet been filed against Filner, but investigators are talking to many of the women who have accused him of lewd behavior.
