Western philosophy regarded emotion in varying ways. In stoic theories it was seen as a hindrance to reason and therefore a hindrance to virtue. Aristotle believed that emotions were an essential component of virtue. In the Aristotelian view all emotions (called passions) corresponded to appetites or capacities. During the Middle Ages, the Aristotelian view was adopted and further developed by scholasticism and Thomas Aquinas in particular. There are also theories of emotions in the works of philosophers such as René Descartes, Niccolò Machiavelli, Baruch Spinoza and David Hume. In the 19th century emotions were considered adaptive and were studied more frequently from an empiricist psychiatric perspective.

Please briefly summarize this news article:
Avalos calls for hearing on LIBOR bank fraud
Supervisor John Avalos wants to know just how much San Francisco was hurt by a global interest rate fraud scandal, and how the city can get that money back.
It’s not known how much San Francisco was affected by banks that allegedly manipulated the London InterBank Offered Rate, a commonly used interest rate benchmark. The supervisor called for a hearing at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting to study the impact on the city and discuss legal options for recouping funds.
Earlier, Avalos held a rally outside Chase Bank near City Hall with activists from ReFund California, a group that says the banks’ fraud has cost the state “tens of millions of dollars.”
“We know the banks colluded to rig interest rates resulting in significant losses to taxpayers across the nation,” Avalos said in a statement. “We owe it to our City residents to find out how much this type of bank fraud cost San Francisco.”
Antitrust complaints against the accused banks such as JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup and Bank of America, have been filed by eight municipalities in public entities in California, including San Mateo and San Diego counties.

Article:The government raided its reserves to make the €750m (£538m) payment on Monday, one day ahead of the deadline.
It comes after Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis warned his country was weeks from running out of cash.
Greece is believed to have borrowed €650m from its IMF holding account to meet the debt interest payment.
Member countries have two accounts with the IMF - one where they deposit their annual quota, in effect their membership fee, and another where they store reserves, including gold, for emergencies.
Country quotas are based on each country's relative size in the world economy.
One Greek official told Reuters on Tuesday that the reserves that the government used must be replenished in the IMF account in "several weeks".
Greece also used €100m of its cash reserves to make the full payment on its IMF bailout loan interest, the official said.
The mayor of Greece's second city, Thessaloniki, revealed last week that he had handed over cash reserves in response to an appeal for money.
Meanwhile, changes to the law have allowed the central government to collect €600m of local government and other public entity money to help it deal with the cash crisis, a government spokesman said.
On Monday, Mr Varoufakis warned his country's financial situation was "terribly urgent" and the crisis could come to a head in a matter of weeks.
The warning came as eurozone finance ministers met in Brussels to discuss the final €7.2bn tranche of Greece's €240bn EU/IMF bailout.
Ministers said Greece had made "progress", but more work was needed.
"The liquidity issue is a terribly urgent issue. It's common knowledge, let's not beat around the bush," Mr Varoufakis told reporters in Brussels.
"From the perspective [of timing], we are talking about the next couple of weeks."
Greece has until the end of June to reach a reform deal with its international creditors. Its finances are running so low that it has had to ask public bodies for help.
The crisis has raised the prospect that Greece might default on its debts and leave the euro.
The eurozone is insisting on a rigorous regime of reforms, including cuts to pensions, in return for the bailout, but Greece's anti-austerity Syriza-led government is resisting the tough terms.
In a statement, the eurozone finance ministers said they "welcomed the progress that has been achieved so far" in the negotiations, but added: "We acknowledged that more time and effort are needed to bridge the gaps on the remaining open issues."
Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said there had to be a full deal on the bailout before Greece received any further payments.
"There are time constraints and liquidity constraints and hopefully we will reach an agreement before time runs out and before money runs out," he said.
Syriza has said it will not break its anti-austerity electoral promises, and that has raised the prospect of a referendum on any deal agreed in Brussels.
Germany's finance minister, Wolfgang Schaueble, has lent support to the idea.
"Maybe this would be the right measure to let the Greek people decide if it is ready to accept what is necessary," he said.

Summarize the following:
You need to do this each day of the week regardless of the state of dryness of your hands. This will not only lead to softer skin, but better health overall thanks to the elimination of germs. But you need to wash gently. Use warm water. Hot water damages the skins natural oils, especially near the surface. If your hands are already very dry, try just scrubbing the palms. Use moisturizing soaps or soap-less cleansers. Avoid soaps with fragrances. You should rub a moisturizing cream on your hands after washing them. This should become a part of your daily routine, though also done at any time your hands become dry and/or itchy. Monitor what kind of moisturizers you are using. Avoid water based products, and look to oil-based moisturizers. Ointments and creams tend to be better for this while lotions are the most water-based. These oil-based products will help soften your hands faster--within the week time period--as they will help trap-in moisture better than lotions and water-based products. Expensive does not necessarily equate to good in this case. Look for products like petroleum jelly (petrolatum), mineral oil, and lanolin. Moisturizers with glycerin, dimethicone, and hyaluronic acid also can help skin retain moisture. Products with lactic acid and urea also may work. Petroleum jelly is one inexpensive moisturizer you can use. Cocoa butter and honey is a home-made moisturizer you can create. Petroleum jelly or any product that requires time to stay on your hands will also require you to have pairs of cotton gloves handy to wear in the meantime. If you do this overnight, you can take advantage of the inactivity to eliminate inconvenience while the product does its work. Overnight treatments will help soften your hands within the week, and should be maintained as a general treatment going forward. This is the act of removing dead skin from your body. You can scrub your hands using products or a number of home-based items. You should limit this to a couple of times during the week period, three at most. If you're looking for home based items, there are several that combine readily available items into solutions that will soften the skin of your hands. These include, but are not limited to: sea salt and olive oil; lemon and glycerin; baby oil and sugar; oats and lemon; milk, honey, and lemon juice; honey, curd, and tomato juice; turmeric and lemon. Do this several times during the week, two or three times, but not necessarily during every hand-wash. You can get this done during spa treatments as well. Do not over-exfoliate. Exfoliating too often can damage the surface and/or blood vessels in the skin. Look for signs of dryness, patchiness, dehydration, and/or increased sensitvity--they may indicate you are exfoliating too often. It is important for the health of your hands' skin to maintain this routine beyond just a week. But doing this for several days will at least improve your hands' skin condition in the short-term. If cost is an issue, consider the home-made version of both the moisturizer and exfoliate product. Remember you do not need to exfoliate for every single hand-wash. It is best to take advantage of bedtime to use long-term products, ones that need to stay on your hands for several hours, and wear cotton gloves over your hands while you sleep. Wear gloves over your hands while these long-term products are applied even if you are not asleep.
Summary: | Wash your hands carefully. Moisturize your hands after every wash. Use overnight products to speed up the process. Use an exfoliating cleanser. Repeat the above steps on a daily basis. | 1 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

What is a one-sentence summary of the following article?
On some machines, the highest setting might be labeled as “pastry.” Flip the switch to power on the grain mill once you’ve adjusted the dial. The settings on the dial control how coarse or fine the flour will be. A lower setting churns out a grittier powder, for instance. Always turn the grinder on prior to adding the rice. The hopper will automatically grind the rice as it passes through and will deposit the flour in the attached canister. If necessary, use a spoon or other utensil to push the rice towards the center of the hopper to speed up the grinding. If the flour isn’t as fine as you’d like it to be, run it through the hopper again. You’ll know the grinding process is finished when you hear the mill give off subtle high-pitched sound. Flip the power switch to the off position to stop the mill. You can let the mill run for an extra 5 seconds after it’s finished just to make sure no stray pieces of rice are lodged inside. The canister should easily detach from the mill. Once you transfer the rice flour into an airtight container, seal the container tightly by pressing firmly on the lid until it snaps or suctions into place. Scrape any excess flour on the sides of canister into the container with a spoon so you don’t waste any. Resealable bags are a suitable alternative to a container. After 1 year, you might notice that the flour loses some of its flavor and smells musty. Throw it away sooner if you see mold. Cool, dark spots are best for storing flour. Look for an area that is dry, too. Keeping flour in the fridge or freezer is your safest option to prevent it from spoiling faster. Label the container or bag with a permanent marker or sticker label if you want to remember when it will expire. Write down the contents of the container (“rice flour”) along with the expiration date.
Summary: | Turn the dial to the highest setting, then turn the mill on. Pour the rice into the hopper of the mill to grind it. Turn off the mill after you grind all of the rice. Remove the canister from the mill and pour the flour into a container. Store the flour in the pantry, fridge, or freezer for up to 1 year. | 4 | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Great experience! This restaurant is beautiful inside and the attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the meal including the bread selection and awesome cocktails. We had the tasting menu for $120 each. This included a take home menu, recipes, and signed picture of Giada. The following is included in the tasting menu: a small plate of antipasti (my only complaint is that it was too small), a pasta course, main course and then a free shot at the dessert cart. My party made full use of the dessert cart and tried many of the offerings. The dessert cart guys were very cool and encouraged us to try as much as we wanted. The cart had a huge selection of 4 ice cream, 4-5 cookies, a few tarts, 3 parfaits, and 3 cakes plus a few things I am probably forgetting. We got about 10 items off the cart and the highlights were the peanut butter and jelly parfait, peanut butter and chocolate cookie, and lemon ricotta cookie. I am going on and on about the dessert, but the pasta and salmon we had was also very good. I really want to go back and I hope they open for lunch soon! The highlight of the night was that Giada was there! She was very gracious and stopped for a moment so we could take pictures with her on her way out to catch a plane.

– Amid the inevitable landslide of photos that emerges from any G7 summit, there's one in particular from the latest contentious such event that's raising some eyebrows, and it comes courtesy of the German chancellor's official Instagram account. In it, Angela Merkel sternly stares down President Trump as world leaders including Emmanuel Macron and Shinzo Abe look on. "If a picture is worth 1,000 words, Angela Merkel has some thoughts," muses USA Today, while the Washington Post notes the stark difference between this photo and the posed photos released by the White House. "The disparity prompted some to wonder: Was Merkel—or someone on her staff—trolling the U.S. president?" Though the photo might appear to summarize the tense summit, the AP notes that another photo of the leaders from the same meeting "suggests a much more relaxed interaction."

WASHINGTON — If a picture is worth 1,000 words, Angela Merkel has some thoughts.
The German chancellor uploaded a photograph on Instagram of her and French President Emmanuel Macron seeming to stare down President Trump. The U.S. president is staring back, arms crossed, as Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe looks on with his arms also crossed. National Security Adviser John Bolton and other aides also look on what appears to be a tense moment.
The captions reads: “Day two of the G7 summit in Canada: spontaneous meeting between two working sessions. #G7Charlevoix.”
The leaders had been meeting at the Group of Seven summit in Quebec, Canada over the weekend.
Despite the president describing his relationship with the other leaders as “a 10," conversations between the world's largest industrialized countries were thought to be intense as the allies faced off with Trump over tariffs his administration has imposed on them. Trump said the tariffs are necessary for national security.
Macron also tweeted Saturday a photo of the other leaders and aides surrounding Trump, who was one of just two people sitting. In the photo, Macron is looking directly at the president and gesturing.
"#G7Charlevoix, second day: A new step has been taken. After a long day of work and very direct dialogue, we are actively seeking an ambitious agreement," an English translation of Macron's tweet reads.

On Saturday morning Trump said he was open to getting rid of the tariffs if the other countries agreed to a more pure form of free trade. Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Canada are the other members of the G7. Russia used to be included rounding out the group to G8, Trump has been lobbying for the country to be let back in.

FRANKFURT, Germany (AP) — One viral photo is telling it all about tensions at the G-7 summit.
A picture of U.S. President Donald Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel displaying less-than-friendly body language is turning out to be a defining image of the contentious meeting of the Group of Seven leaders of the world's advanced economies.
The picture, snapped Saturday by German government photographer Jesco Denzel, shows a standing Merkel with her hands firmly planted on a table staring down at Trump, who is seated with his arms folded and eyes glaring. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe stands next to Trump, also with folded arms, as French President Emmanuel Macron leans in next to Merkel.
The photo was tweeted by Merkel spokesman Steffen Seibert. Shortly afterward, the White House issued a separate photo showing a sitting Trump speaking as Merkel, Abe and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau listen.
The BBC parsed the picture by identifying all nine individuals in it, including British Prime Minister Theresa May, who is barely visible, and Larry Kudlow, head of Trump's National Economic Council as well as several Japanese officials and U.S. national security adviser John Bolton.
Another image of the same gathering however suggests a more relaxed interaction, with Merkel smiling and Trump making eye contact.
The G-7 — an informal annual summit of democracies with highly developed economies — took place Friday and Saturday in the Quebec resort town of Charlevoix in Canada, which holds the rotating leadership this year.
Saturday's picture was not the first awkward moment between Trump and Merkel, who makes no secret of her disagreement with the American leader's approach on trade, his rejection of the deal to limit Iran's nuclear program and his decision to take the United States out of the global Paris deal to fight climate change.
Merkel's March 2017 visit to the White House was marked by Trump either not hearing or ignoring her offer to shake hands in the Oval Office. A subsequent visit in April this year warranted only a working lunch for the German leader, several days after fellow EU leader Macron got the full, formal state dinner treatment from Trump.
The Charlevoix G-7 summit was marked by sharp disagreements over Trump's decision to impose higher import taxes on aluminum and steel imports. The measure hits EU trading partners even though the main target is overcapacity at state-backed Chinese producers, who Europe and the U.S. have long complained have flooded markets with cheap steel.
The G-7 summit participants managed to patch over their disagreements and agree to disagree on some issues in a joint final statement. Yet after leaving the summit, Trump tweeted that he would instruct U.S. officials not to endorse the G-7 statement, after objecting to comments from summit host Trudeau. ||||| | 9 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

On a busy Friday morning in Manhattan, nine pedestrians suffered bullet or fragment wounds after police unleashed a hail of gunfire at a man wielding a .45 caliber pistol who had just killed a former co-worker. The officers unloaded 16 rounds in the shadow of the Empire State Building at a disgruntled former apparel designer, killing him after he engaged in a gunbattle with police, authorities said. Three passersby sustained direct gunshot wounds, while the remaining six were hit by fragments, according to New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. All injuries were caused by police, he said Saturday. One officer shot nine rounds and another shot seven. Police identified the gunman as Jeffrey Johnson, 58, who was apparently laid off from his job as a designer of women's accessories at Hazan Import Co. last year. Johnson, who served in the U.S. Coast Guard in the mid-1970s, had two rounds left in his pistol. It holds eight, Kelly said. Police identified the slain co-worker as Steven Ercolino, 41, who had apparently filed a prior complaint against his assailant, claiming that he thought Johnson would eventually try to kill him. Both men had filed harassment complaints against each other in April 2011, Kelly added. Ercolino was listed as a vice president of sales at Hazan Import Corp., according to his LinkedIn profile. "It's not something that should happen to a loving person like that," said his brother, Paul. "He's going to be so missed by everybody. He was a light of so many lives."

News article: Report of near-trade raises questions about Harbaugh’s future with 49ers
Jim Harbaugh and Trent Baalke. (AP)
Here’s the newspaper story on the Jim-Harbaugh-and-Browns report:
That seemingly odd pairing was reportedly nearly a reality.
Citing multiple league sources, ProFootballTalk.com said Friday the Browns had a deal in place to acquire 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh, who ultimately vetoed the trade. Per the report, the Browns, who haven’t reach the playoffs since 2002, would have compensated the 49ers with “multiple draft picks.” Cleveland has the No. 4 overall pick in the upcoming draft.
Niners CEO Jed York, who recently said he wanted to keep Harbaugh “long-term,” denied the story, via Twitter: “The report isn’t true.”
Meanwhile, the Browns, who hired Mike Pettine as their head coach Feb. 6, didn’t deny the report’s veracity in a statement: “The team conducted an extensive coaching search, and explored several options. That search produced an outstanding head coach in Mike Pettine and we’re excited about his future with the club.”
The report at least raises questions about Harbaugh’s long-term future with the 49ers. He has two years remaining on a five-year, $25 million contract he’s outperformed, but talks of a contract extension reportedly fizzled last offseason. In December, the San Jose Mercury News cited tension in the relationship between Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke, who has the final say on personnel decisions.
York has acknowledged what he’s termed an effective creative friction between the duo. The partnership between Harbaugh and Baalke has been wildly successful since they joined forces in 2011. The 49ers, who had 39 wins from 2004-10, are 41-14-1 over the past three seasons, including playoff games. Harbaugh is the only coach since the AFL-NFL merger in 1970 to lead his team to a conference championship game in each of his first three seasons.
In December, York made it clear Harbaugh’s performance put him in line for a pay raise. Harbaugh is the third-highest paid coach in the NFC West behind Seattle’s Pete Carroll and St. Louis’ Jeff Fisher, who reportedly earn $7 million annually.
“You really can’t ask for a much better job than what he’s done in his first two-and-a-half seasons,” York said in December. “Now is not the right time to get into a deep contract discussion, but he knows we want him here long-term.”
Unlike the 49ers, the Browns, who are 27-69 since 2008, are viewed as something of an NFL purgatory. So, if he did so, why would Harbaugh even consider Cleveland? He could have been intrigued by a fatter contract and the challenge of reversing the fortunes of a sagging program, something he did at the University of San Diego, Stanford and with the 49ers.
In addition, he reportedly has a close relationship with recently fired Browns general manager Michael Lombardi. Harbaugh, then an assistant with the Raiders, worked with Lombardi for two years when the executive was in Oakland’s front office. Lombardi’s son, Mick, was hired by the 49ers last year as an assistant to the head coach.

Shahid Kapoor was born in New Delhi on 25 February 1981 to actor Pankaj Kapur and actor-dancer Neelima Azeem. His parents divorced when he was three years old; his father shifted to Mumbai (and married the actress Supriya Pathak) and Kapoor continued living in Delhi with his mother and maternal grandparents. His grandparents were journalists for the Russian magazine Sputnik, and Kapoor was particularly fond of his grandfather: "He would walk me to school every single day. He would talk to me about dad, with whom he shared a great relationship, and read out his letters to me."
In 2006, Kapoor played opposite Kareena Kapoor in two films--the thriller 36 China Town and the comedy Chup Chup Ke. In 36 China Town, a murder mystery from the director duo Abbas-Mustan, Kapoor starred as one of the seven suspects in the murder of an heiress, and in the Priyadarshan-directed Chup Chup Ke, he played a depressed man who pretends to be deaf and mute. The former was his first commercial success since Ishq Vishk. Greater success came to Kapoor later that year when he starred alongside Amrita Rao in Sooraj Barjatya's romantic drama Vivah, a film depicting an arranged marriage. Made on a shoestring budget of Rs100 million (US$1.5 million), the film earned over Rs530 million (US$8.1 million) worldwide, and proved to be Kapoor's highest-grossing film to that point. Reviews of the film, however, were negative; Raja Sen termed the film a "nightmare" and wrote that Kapoor "isn't offensively bad, doesn't ham it up like crazy, or speak in a weird accent. Having said that, he isn't an actor at all, standing around working on his boyish grin, simply chewing up the scenery. No screen presence at all." Kapoor found no success in his first release of 2007--the ensemble comedy Fool & Final. However, his second release that year, the Imtiaz Ali-directed romantic comedy Jab We Met proved to be one of the top-grossing films of the year. The film tells the story of a troubled businessman (Kapoor) whose life undergoes a series of changes after he encounters a loquacious girl (Kareena Kapoor) on a train ride. Ali thought that Kapoor's previous roles failed to justify his acting potential, and thus approached him to portray a more complex character. The BBC noted on how "endearing" he was in the film and Rajeev Masand of CNN-IBN wrote that he left an "indelible impression with a performance that is understated and mature" in a film he thought primarily belonged to Kareena Kapoor. For his performance, Kapoor received his first nomination for the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. After featuring opposite Vidya Balan in the romantic comedy Kismat Konnection (2008), Kapoor played twin brothers, one with a lisp and the other with a stutter, in Vishal Bhardwaj's critically acclaimed caper thriller Kaminey (2009). In preparation, Kapoor met speech specialists and researched on the medical and mental aspects of the two conditions. To create a lean physique for one of the brothers, a look he considered to be "radically different" from his personal appearance, Kapoor practiced functional training and followed a rigorous diet. Writing for Variety, critic Joe Leydon reviewed that Kapoor "impressively displays sufficiently variegated degrees of emotional intensity to sustain the illusion of two distinct characters. Just as important, he provides each sibling an appropriately elevated hunkiness quotient." Rediff.com listed Kapoor's performance as the best by a Bollywood actor in 2009 and he received a second Best Actor nomination at Filmfare. Kaminey earned over Rs700 million (US$11 million) worldwide. Kapoor's final release of 2009 was as a cricketer in Dil Bole Hadippa!, a romantic comedy co-starring Rani Mukerji. It was screened at the Toronto International Film Festival, but was a financial failure.

Washington is desperate to set aside the North Korea problem while dealing with a parallel crisis in Iran.

John F. Stossel was born on March 6, 1947, in Chicago Heights, Illinois, the younger of two sons, to Jewish parents who left Germany before Hitler rose to power. They joined a Congregationalist church in the U.S., and Stossel was raised Protestant. He grew up on Chicago's affluent North Shore and graduated from New Trier High School. Stossel characterizes his older brother, Tom, as "the superstar of the family", commenting, "While I partied and played poker, he studied hard, got top grades, and went to Harvard Medical School."
Stossel has written three books. Give Me a Break: How I Exposed Hucksters, Cheats, and Scam Artists and Became the Scourge of the Liberal Media is a 2005 autobiography from Harper Perennial documenting his career and philosophical transition from liberalism to libertarianism. It describes his opposition to government regulation, his belief in free market and private enterprise, support for tort reform, and advocacy for shifting social services from the government to private charities. It was a New York Times bestseller for 11 weeks. Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity: Get Out the Shovel - Why Everything You Know Is Wrong, which was published in 2007 by Hyperion, questions the validity of various conventional wisdoms, and argues that the belief he is conservative is untrue. On April 10, 2012, Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, published Stossel's third book No, They Can't: Why Government Fails - But Individuals Succeed. It argues that government policies meant to solve problems instead produce new ones, and that free individuals and the private sector perform tasks more efficiently than the government does. With financial support from the libertarian Palmer R. Chitester Fund, Stossel and ABC News launched a series of educational materials for public schools in 1999 entitled "Stossel in the Classroom". It was taken over in 2006 by the Center for Independent Thought and releases a new DVD of teaching materials annually. In 2006, Stossel and ABC released Teaching Tools for Economics, a video series based on the National Council of Economics Education standards. Since February 2011, Stossel has written a weekly newspaper column for Creators Syndicate. His articles appear in such online publications as Newsmax, Reason, and Townhall.

Rapunzel is impregnated by her prince, the evil queen in Snow White is the princess’s biological mother, plotting to murder her own child, and a hungry mother in another story is so “unhinged and desperate” that she tells her daughters: “I’ve got to kill you so I can have something to eat.” Never before published in English, the first edition of the Brothers Grimms’ tales reveals an unsanitised version of the stories that have been told at bedtime for more than 200 years.
The Grimms – Jacob and Wilhelm – published their first take on the tales for which they would become known around the world in December 1812, a second volume following in 1815. They would go on to publish six more editions, polishing the stories, making them more child-friendly, adding in Christian references and removing mentions of fairies before releasing the seventh edition – the one best known today – in 1857.
Jack Zipes, professor emeritus of German and comparative literature at the University of Minnesota, says he often wondered why the first edition of the tales had never been translated into English, and decided, eventually, to do it himself. “Though the Grimms kept about 100 of the tales from the first edition, they changed them a good deal. So, the versions with which most English-speaking (and German-speaking) readers are familiar are quite different from the tales in the first edition,” he told the Guardian.
His version of the original 156 stories is just out from Princeton University Press, illustrated by Andrea Dezsö, and shows a very different side to the well-known tales, as well as including some gruesome new additions.
How the Children Played at Slaughtering, for example, stays true to its title, seeing a group of children playing at being a butcher and a pig. It ends direly: a boy cuts the throat of his little brother, only to be stabbed in the heart by his enraged mother. Unfortunately, the stabbing meant she left her other child alone in the bath, where he drowned. Unable to be cheered up by the neighbours, she hangs herself; when her husband gets home, “he became so despondent that he died soon thereafter”. The Children of Famine is just as disturbing: a mother threatens to kill her daughters because there is nothing else to eat. They offer her slices of bread, but can’t stave off her hunger: “You’ve got to die or else we’ll waste away,” she tells them. Their solution: “We’ll lie down and sleep, and we won’t get up again until the Judgement Day arrives.” They do; “no one could wake them from it. Meanwhile, their mother departed, and nobody knows where she went.”
Rapunzel, meanwhile, gives herself away to her captor when – after having a “merry time” in the tower with her prince - she asks: “Tell me, Mother Gothel, why are my clothes becoming too tight? They don’t fit me any more.” And the stepmothers of Snow White and Hansel and Gretel were, originally, their mothers, Zipes believing that the Grimms made the change in later editions because they “held motherhood sacred”. So it is Snow White’s own mother who orders the huntsman to “stab her to death and bring me back her lungs and liver as proof of your deed. After that I’ll cook them with salt and eat them”, and Hansel and Gretel’s biological mother who abandons them in the forest.
Zipes speculates that the Grimms’ changes were “reflecting sociologically a condition that existed during their lifetime - jealousy between a young stepmother and stepdaughter”, because “many women died from childbirth in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and there were numerous instances in which the father remarried a young woman, perhaps close in age to the father’s eldest daughter”.
Cinderella’s stepsisters go to extraordinary attempts to win the prince in the original Grimms version of the tale, slicing off parts of their feet to fit the golden slipper - to no avail, in the end, because the prince spots the blood spilling out of the shoe. “Here’s a knife,” their mother urges, in Zipes’ translation. “If the slipper is still too tight for you, then cut off a piece of your foot. It will hurt a bit. But what does that matter?”

Zipes describes the changes made as “immense”, with around 40 or 50 tales in the first edition deleted or drastically changed by the time the seventh edition was published. “The original edition was not published for children or general readers. Nor were these tales told primarily for children. It was only after the Grimms published two editions primarily for adults that they changed their attitude and decided to produce a shorter edition for middle-class families. This led to Wilhelm’s editing and censoring many of the tales,” he told the Guardian.
Wilhelm Grimm, said Zipes, “deleted all tales that might offend a middle-class religious sensitivity”, such as How Some Children Played at Slaughtering. He also “added many Christian expressions and proverbs”, continued Zipes, stylistically embellished the tales, and eliminated fairies from the stories because of their association with French fairy tales. “Remember, this is the period when the French occupied Germany during the Napoleonic wars,” said Zipes. “So, in Briar Rose, better known as Sleeping Beauty, the fairies are changed into wise women. Also, a crab announces to the queen that she will become pregnant, not a frog.”
The original stories, according to the academic, are closer to the oral tradition, as well as being “more brusque, dynamic, and scintillating”. In his introduction to The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, in which Marina Warner says he has “redrawn the map we thought we knew”, and made the Grimms’ tales “wonderfully strange again”, Zipes writes that the originals “retain the pungent and naive flavour of the oral tradition”, and that they are “stunning narratives precisely because they are so blunt and unpretentious”, with the Grimms yet to add their “sentimental Christianity and puritanical ideology”.
But they are still, he believes, suitable bedtime stories. “It is time for parents and publishers to stop dumbing down the Grimms’ tales for children,” Zipes told the Guardian. The Grimms, he added, “believed that these tales emanated naturally from the people, and the tales can be enjoyed by both adults and children. If there is anything offensive, readers can decide what to read for themselves. We do not need puritanical censors to tell us what is good or bad for us.”

Enlarge this image toggle caption Hulton Archive/Getty Images Hulton Archive/Getty Images
It's well-known that our favorite fairy tales started out darker than the ones Disney animators brought to life. But you might be surprised by how much darker the originals were.
For the first time, a new translation of the Brothers Grimm's tales reveals exactly how unsanitized and murderous the bedtime stories really were. Jack Zipes, author of The Original Folk and Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm, is the only person who has ever translated the first edition of their tales into English.
"Some of them are extremely dark and harrowing," Zipes tells NPR's Rachel Martin. "Many are somewhat erotic and deal with incest. Most of them are not what we call fairy tales; they tend to be animal tales or warning tales."
Take, for example, Snow White. In the modern version of the tale, the Evil Queen is Snow White's stepmother. But in the first edition, Snow White is only 7 years old, and it's her biological mother who wants to murder her for her beauty.
The stories are hardly appropriate for children by today's standards, and at the outset, they weren't intended to be. The Grimms "collected these tales to show what life was like," says Zipes. "And they wanted to reveal what they considered the divine truths of the tales."
And the tales endure. Zipes says that's because they resonate in every era. "I think they speak to the human condition. ... They also provide hope. For the most part, there is social justice in these tales and ... we need that. We need the hope that these tales provide." |||||
What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article? | – Forget an evil stepmother: The woman jealous of 7-year-old Snow White's beauty was her biological mother, and she flat out wanted her kid dead. At least that's how the Brothers Grimm tell it in the first edition of their fairy tales; that December 1812 version has just been translated into English by German professor Jack Zipes. It's actually the less gruesome seventh edition, which came in 1857, that's best known, the Guardian reports. As for the tales in the first edition, "Some of them are extremely dark and harrowing," Zipes tells NPR in an interview. "Many are somewhat erotic and deal with incest. Most of them are not what we call fairy tales; they tend to be animal tales or warning tales." He offers another example: When kids see a pig butchered, they decide to mimic the act. One brother kills the other, and their mother, who's bathing a baby, sees the brutality through a window. So she goes and kills the still-living brother. That leaves time for the baby to die in the bath, and all this prompts the mother to kill herself. Not exactly something you'd be likely to read to your 3-year-old. Zipes, however, sees some "hope" in the tales. "For the most part, there is social justice in these tales, and ... we need that." (The brothers themselves were "workaholics, moralists, and freaks," according to one expert.) | 3 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

Marien Ngouabi, who had participated in the coup, assumed the presidency on December 31, 1968. One year later, President Ngouabi proclaimed Congo Africa's first "people's republic", the People's Republic of the Congo, and announced the decision of the National Revolutionary Movement to change its name to the Congolese Labour Party (PCT). Ngouabi survived an attempted coup in 1972 but was assassinated on March 16, 1977. An 11-member Military Committee of the Party (CMP) was then named to head an interim government with Joachim Yhombi-Opango to serve as President of the Republic. Two years later, Yhombi-Opango was forced from power and Denis Sassou Nguesso become the new president.

Write a 1. yelp review (Select from: 1. negative; 2. positive;). | This was our first dining experience at VG. We were celebrating my husband's birthday and thought we would try it. I must say that although the food was very good and tastefully prepared and presented, there were some disappointing aspects to our visit. Without going into a lot of detail, when we eat at an upscale place like VG, we are fully prepared to pay their prices. No problem there. However, when we pay those prices, we don't expect to be seated next to screaming children. If we wanted to eat with screaming children, we would have gone to a fast food restaurant. People with small children need to hire a babysitter, especially on a Saturday night. If they can afford to eat at VG, they can afford to hire a babysitter. VG also needs to be aware of this issue and tactfully tell customers with small children that they cannot accommodate them. I'm sorry, this may sound heartless, but that's the way we feel. In other areas, the food was good, no doubt about that. The ambience was a bit noisy (aside from the screaming children), no doubt due to the fact that the floors are not carpeted. I'm sure carpeting would absorb a lot of the noise. We've gone to many other restaurants at this price point and never experienced the noise level we did last night. Of course, in all fairness, it was a Saturday night. In addition, the tables are very close together causing both the staff and other patrons to unavoidably jostle my husband. On the plus side (yes, there was a plus side), the food was very tasty and well presented. The service was adequate although we've had better service at other restaurants. All in all, we'll have to think long and hard about returning to VG despite its "awesome" reputation in Summerlin. | 7 | Flan2021 | yelp_polarity_reviews:0.2.0 | zs_opt |
