Francis George Steiner, FBA (born April 23, 1929) is a French-born American literary critic, essayist, philosopher, novelist, and educator. He has written extensively about the relationship between language, literature and society, and the impact of the Holocaust. An article in The Guardian described Steiner as a "polyglot and polymath", saying that he is either "often credited with recasting the role of the critic", or a "pretentious namedropper" whose "range comes at the price of inaccuracy" and "complacency". Among his admirers, Steiner is ranked "among the great minds in today's literary world."
George Steiner was born in 1929 in Paris, to Viennese Jewish parents Dr Frederick George Steiner and Mrs Else Steiner (nee Franzos). He has an elder sister, Ruth Lilian, who was born in Vienna in 1922. Frederick Steiner was a senior lawyer in the Austrian Central Bank, and Else Steiner was a Viennese grande dame. Five years before George Steiner's birth, his father had moved his family from Austria to France to escape the growing threat of Nazism. He believed that Jews were "endangered guests wherever they went" and equipped his children with languages. Steiner grew up with three mother tongues: German, English, and French; his mother was multilingual and would often "begin a sentence in one language and end it in another." When he was six years old, his father who believed in the importance of classical education taught him to read the Iliad in the original Greek. His mother, for whom "self-pity was nauseating", helped Steiner overcome a handicap he had been born with, a withered right arm. Instead of allowing him to become left-handed, she insisted he use his right hand as an able-bodied person would. Steiner's first formal education took place at the Lycee Janson-de-Sailly in Paris. In 1940, during World War II, Steiner's father once again relocated his family, this time to New York City. Within a month of their move, the Nazis occupied Paris, and of the many Jewish children in Steiner's class at school, he was one of only two who survived the war. Again his father's insight had saved his family, and this made Steiner feel like a survivor, which profoundly influenced his later writings. "My whole life has been about death, remembering and the Holocaust." Steiner became a "grateful wanderer", saying that "Trees have roots and I have legs; I owe my life to that." He spent the rest of his school years at the Lycee Francais de New York in Manhattan, and became a United States citizen in 1944.

Fox affiliate discloses that its chief investigative reporter is a Second Amendment ‘proponent’
Washington’s Fox affiliate, WTTG-TV (Fox5), is disclosing that its chief investigative reporter, Emily Miller, is a Second Amendment “proponent.” At the bottom of her Feb. 24 article about securing her D.C. gun carry permit, the story notes, “Emily Miller is a proponent for Second Amendment rights. She is the author of ‘Emily Gets Her Gun,’ which is about national politics of gun control and why she decided to get a gun in Washington, D.C.”
WTTG’s italicized footer is both transparent and accurate: As the Erik Wemple Blog pointed out in this post, Miller recently addressed gun-rights advocates in Annapolis as part of a lobbying day for the agenda of groups including Maryland Shall Issue and the National Rifle Association. “I call myself pro-Second Amendment. Because a gun is a tool but this fight — this fight is for freedom,” said Miller. And as Media Matters for America reported, Miller previously spoke at a Richmond gun rally, where she said, in part, “It’s great to be in Virginia, which is part of America where you recognize the Second Amendment. I came from D.C. this morning, which is not part of America, because they don’t recognize the Second Amendment.”
WTTG’s disclosure is a bi-platform thing, as the TV news segment on Miller’s gun-carry permit also informed viewers of her position on Second Amendment rights. It’s unclear whether WTTG has ever issued this disclosure in previous stories by Miller, a question that the Erik Wemple Blog has posed to the station’s spokeswoman. A story by Miller last July on gun-carry issues in D.C. featured this less disclosureful tagline: “Emily Miller is the chief investigative reporter for Fox 5 DC. She is the author of Emily Gets Her Gun (Regnery/2013).” We also asked WTTG if there’s another chief investigative reporter at the station who’s a proponent of gun control and whether the station will allow other reporters with policy agendas to use the station to advance them. We’ll update if and when we hear back.
Erik Wemple writes the Erik Wemple blog, where he reports and opines on media organizations of all sorts.

1980s file shows plan for Hong Kong 'plantation' in Northern Ireland
LONDON – A bizarre plan to relocate the entire population of Hong Kong to Northern Ireland was considered an option in the uncertain years before Britain handed back the former British colony to Chinese rule, formerly classified government files showed.
Britain's National Archives on Friday released a 1983 government file called "Replantation of Northern Ireland from Hong Kong," which showed British officials discussing a far-fetched proposal to settle 5.5 million Hong Kong people in a newly built "city state" between Coleraine and Londonderry.
George Fergusson, an official at the Northern Ireland office, was inspired by a university lecturer's proposal to "transplant" Hong Kong to Northern Ireland — a move that would supposedly revitalize the local economy as well as save Hong Kong, which the lecturer believed had "no future on its present site."
"At this stage we see real advantages in taking the proposal seriously," Fergusson wrote in a memo to a colleague in the Foreign Office.
While it wasn't clear if Fergusson was writing tongue-in-cheek, the droll reply he received showed that it wasn't taken seriously.
"My initial reaction ... is that the proposal could be useful to the extent that the arrival of 5.5 million Chinese in Northern Ireland may induce the indigenous peoples to forsake their homeland for a future elsewhere," quipped David Snoxell at the Republic of Ireland Department. "We should not underestimate the danger of this taking the form of a mass exodus of boat refugees in the direction of South East Asia."
An official scribbled in the margins: "My mind will be boggling for the rest of the day."
Though outlandish, the idea illustrated anxieties at the time about the future of Hong Kong. Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher began talks with China on the topic in 1982. Two years later, the two sides agreed that the city would return to Chinese rule in 1997.

Write an article based on this "Brain cells in Parkinson's disease exhaust themselves and die prematurely, burning out like an "overheating motor", an early study suggests."
Article: | Canadian researchers say the findings might help explain why only small parts of the brain are affected in the disease.
Parkinson's is caused by a loss of nerve cells in certain areas of the brain - but why these cells are vulnerable has been a mystery.
The work appears in Current Biology.
An estimated 127,000 people in the UK have Parkinson's disease, which can lead to a pronounced tremor, slow movement, and stiff and inflexible muscles.
In this paper, scientists from the University of Montreal studied the disease in mice cells.
They found, unlike other similar brain cells, neurons most often involved in Parkinson's disease were complex and had many more branches.
The cells also had much higher energy requirements, producing more waste products as they met this need.
Researchers suggest it is the accumulation of these waste products that triggers cell death.
Prof Louis-Eric Trudeau said: "Like a motor constantly running at high speed, these neurons need to produce an incredible amount of energy to function.
"They appear to exhaust themselves and die prematurely."
The team hope this finding may help create better experimental models of Parkinson's and identify new treatments.
They suggest, for example, that medication could one day be developed to help reduce the energy requirement of cells or increase their energy efficiency.
Dr Arthur Roach, at the charity Parkinson's UK, said:"Out of the billions of cells in the brain, it is always the same small group that degenerate and die in Parkinson's. We don't know why only these cells are affected.
"This study provides strong support to the idea that it is the unique structure and function of these cells that makes them especially susceptible to a damaging process called oxidative stress.
"We hope that this study will rekindle interest in the approach, and even lead to new treatments based on the most up-to-date ideas about oxidative stress." | 9 | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |

John Milton Cage Jr. (September 5, 1912 - August 12, 1992) was an American composer and music theorist. A pioneer of indeterminacy in music, electroacoustic music, and non-standard use of musical instruments, Cage was one of the leading figures of the post-war avant-garde. Critics have lauded him as one of the most influential composers of the 20th century. He was also instrumental in the development of modern dance, mostly through his association with choreographer Merce Cunningham, who was also Cage's romantic partner for most of their lives.
Cage's work from the sixties features some of his largest and most ambitious, not to mention socially utopian pieces, reflecting the mood of the era yet also his absorption of the writings of both Marshall McLuhan, on the effects of new media, and R. Buckminster Fuller, on the power of technology to promote social change. HPSCHD (1969), a gargantuan and long-running multimedia work made in collaboration with Lejaren Hiller, incorporated the mass superimposition of seven harpsichords playing chance-determined excerpts from the works of Cage, Hiller, and a potted history of canonical classics, with fifty-two tapes of computer-generated sounds, 6,400 slides of designs, many supplied by NASA, and shown from sixty-four slide projectors, with forty motion-picture films. The piece was initially rendered in a five-hour performance at the University of Illinois in 1969, in which the audience arrived after the piece had begun and left before it ended, wandering freely around the auditorium in the time for which they were there. Also in 1969, Cage produced the first fully notated work in years: Cheap Imitation for piano. The piece is a chance-controlled reworking of Erik Satie's Socrate, and, as both listeners and Cage himself noted, openly sympathetic to its source. Although Cage's affection for Satie's music was well-known, it was highly unusual for him to compose a personal work, one in which the composer is present. When asked about this apparent contradiction, Cage replied: "Obviously, Cheap Imitation lies outside of what may seem necessary in my work in general, and that's disturbing. I'm the first to be disturbed by it." Cage's fondness for the piece resulted in a recording--a rare occurrence, since Cage disliked making recordings of his music--made in 1976. Overall, Cheap Imitation marked a major change in Cage's music: he turned again to writing fully notated works for traditional instruments, and tried out several new approaches, such as improvisation, which he previously discouraged, but was able to use in works from the 1970s, such as Child of Tree (1975). Cheap Imitation became the last work Cage performed in public himself. Arthritis had troubled Cage since 1960, and by the early 1970s his hands were painfully swollen and rendered him unable to perform. Nevertheless, he still played Cheap Imitation during the 1970s, before finally having to give up performing. Preparing manuscripts also became difficult: before, published versions of pieces were done in Cage's calligraphic script; now, manuscripts for publication had to be completed by assistants. Matters were complicated further by David Tudor's departure from performing, which happened in early 1970s. Tudor decided to concentrate on composition instead, and so Cage, for the first time in two decades, had to start relying on commissions from other performers, and their respective abilities. Such performers included Grete Sultan, Paul Zukofsky, Margaret Leng Tan, and many others. Aside from music, Cage continued writing books of prose and poetry (mesostics). M was first published by Wesleyan University Press in 1973. In January 1978 Cage was invited by Kathan Brown of Crown Point Press to engage in printmaking, and Cage would go on to produce series of prints every year until his death; these, together with some late watercolors, constitute the largest portion of his extant visual art. In 1979 Cage's Empty Words was first published by Wesleyan University Press. Answer this question using a quote from the following article:

TEXT:I enjoyed this movie a lot. I thought that the plot of the movie was realistic and relevant to anytime period in American history. There is always that woman that does what she needs to do to climb the class system. I feel that the character of Lilly was portrayed correctly and could of not been done better. What I enjoyed most was when she realized what love really was. Throughout the movie all of the men that fell for her were in love with her, had given her everything, even lost their careers for her. Until she had met Cortland, she did not understand why these men gave up everything for happiness. The way her life had ended up was far from what she expected to be possible. I'd recommend this movie to anyone of a mature audience so you are able to understand the content and the under-laying meaning of the movie and plot.

Summarize this article:
Tim Tebowed and Denver rose as one.
The Broncos quarterback's 80-yard touchdown pass to receiver Demaryius Thomas on the first play of overtime against Pittsburgh both clinched Sunday's game and wrote another improbable chapter in Tebow's book of clutch plays to win high-pressure games.
His performance also borrowed a little magic from another famous book.
The devout Christian's stat line in Sunday's game mirrors the numbering of the Biblical passage that Tebow at times had painted on to his black eye paint during his career at the University of Florida -- John 3:16.
The passage reads, according to the New American Standard Bible, "For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life."
Officially, Tebow passed for 316 yards against the Steelers, completing 10 of 21 pass attempts -- meaning he passed for 31.6 yards per completion.
After his final pass was caught and brilliantly taken downfield by Thomas, Tebow shrugged off three bad weeks -- when he threw for just one touchdown and four interceptions -- and took a knee and prayed in his classic style.
"First and foremost, I just want to thank my savior, the Lord, Jesus Christ," Tebow said at the postgame press conference. "I am so thankful for the platform God has given me."
Next up for those on the Tebow bandwagon, a trip to New England to tackle Tom Brady and the Patriots in the AFC divisional playoff game on Saturday. ||||| Focused crawls are collections of frequently-updated webcrawl data from narrow (as opposed to broad or wide) web crawls, often focused on a single domain or subdomain.

Summary: | – This might just be a weird coincidence, or Tim Tebow's dramatic defeat of the Steelers last night may have been a miracle in more ways than one. The polarizing Denver quarterback wound up throwing for 316 yards, which, if you toss in a colon in the right spot, mirrors the call number of a famous bible verse, John 3:16. That's a verse Tebow occasionally wrote on his face while playing at the University of Florida, Fox News reports. Not weird enough for you? Well, Tebow threw those 316 yards over the course of 10 completions, meaning he averaged 31.6 yards per completion. Wait, there's more: John Ourand of the Sports Business Journal tweeted that the TV rating for the last 15 minutes of the game was—you guessed it—a 31.6. Was this some kind of divine product placement? Probably not, but if it was it worked: As of this writing, John 3:16 is No. 1 on Google Trends. | 0 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

Write an article that answers the following question: How many yards was the shortest touchdown run? | After a tough win over the Ravens, the Bengals returned home for a game against the Chiefs. They would score first in the first quarter when Jeremy Hill ran for an 8-yard TD for a 7-0 lead. Cairo Santos then put a 22-yard field goal through to give the Chiefs their first score of the game 7-3. The Bengals moved ahead by 11 when Giovani Bernard ran for a 13-yard TD for a 14-3 game.In the second quarter, it was all Chiefs as Santos nailed 3 straight field goals eventually to get within 2 points before halftime: from 40, 51, and 34 yards out for 14-6, 14-9, and the 14-12 score at halftime. The Bengals however got back to work in the third quarter when Andy Dalton found Brandon Tate on a 55-yard TD pass increasing their lead to 21-12. The Chiefs came within 6 as Santos put a 40-yard field goal through for a 21-15 game. The Bengals moved ahead by 14 when Hill ran for a 5-yard TD (with a successful 2-point conversion) for a 29-15 game. In the fourth quarter, the Chiefs moved within 11 as Santos put a 29-yard field goal through for a 29-18 game. The Bengals would pretty much seal the game when Hill ran for a 1-yard TD for a 36-18 game. The Chiefs wrapped up the scoring of the game when Santos kicked yet another 51-yard field goal for the eventual final score of 36-21. With the win, the Bengals improved to 4-0, their first such start since 2005. The defense also didn't allow a single touchdown (just 7 field goals). They also won their 5th straight home game against the Chiefs. | 7 | Flan2021 | drop:2.0.0 | zs_opt |

Douglas was born on June 3, 1897, in Algiers, Louisiana. She was the eldest of 13 siblings. Her parents, Abe and Gertrude Douglas, nicknamed her Kid when she was young, and her family called her that throughout her childhood. It is reported that she disliked the name Lizzie.
Minnie was known as a polished professional and an independent woman who knew how to take care of herself. She presented herself to the public as being feminine and ladylike, wearing expensive dresses and jewelry, but she was aggressive when she needed to be and was not shy when it came to fighting. According to the blues musician Johnny Shines, "Any men fool with her she'd go for them right away. She didn't take no foolishness off them. Guitar, pocket knife, pistol, anything she get her hand on she'd use it". According to Homesick James, she chewed tobacco all the time, even while singing or playing the guitar, and always had a cup at hand in case she wanted to spit. Most of the music she made was autobiographical; Minnie expressed a lot of her personal life in music. Minnie was married three times, although no marriage certificates have been found. It is believed that her first husband was Will Weldon, whom she married in the early 1920s. Her second husband was the guitarist and mandolin player Kansas Joe McCoy, whom she married in 1929. They filed for divorce in 1934. McCoy's jealousy of Minnie's professional success has been given as one reason for the breakup of their marriage. Around 1938 she met the guitarist Ernest Lawlars (Little Son Joe), who became her new musical partner, and they married shortly thereafter; Minnie's union records, covering 1939 onwards, give her name as Minnie Lawlars. He dedicated songs to her, including "Key to the World", in which he addresses her as "the woman I got now" and calls her "the key to the world." Minnie was also reported to have lived with a man known as "Squirrel" in the mid- to late 1930s. Minnie was not religious and rarely went to church; the only time she was reported to have gone to church was to see a gospel group perform. She was baptised shortly before she died, probably to please her sister Daisy Johnson. A house in Memphis where she once lived, at 1355 Adelaide Street, still exists.

Syrian rebels bombed a hotel used as a base for government forces, the latest massive attack in the seesaw battle for the country's largest city. The Islamic Front, Syria's most powerful rebel alliance, claimed responsibility for the blast on Twitter. The group said it targeted the Carlton Citadel Hotel and several other buildings in the old city of Aleppo. According to the opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, at least 14 people were killed and dozens were injured. The blast took place near historical ruins in Aleppo. The state-run Syrian Arab News Agency described an "enormous attack on Aleppo old city antiquities launched by terrorists ... blowing up tunnels they dug under archeological buildings." Syrian state-run TV said the army confronted "terrorist mercenaries as they tried to clash with the army after they dug a tunnel and detonated their bomb." A military source said the Syrian army managed to control the area and "killed scores of these terrorists," the network said. State-run TV reporter Chadi Hilwe said Thursday is also the third day Aleppo is facing a water shortage because terrorists targeted a water treatment plant. Government forces and rebels have been battling for control of Aleppo throughout Syria's 3-year-old civil war. The uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's regime began in 2011, with dissidents seeking democratic reforms and greater freedoms. Al-Assad's family has ruled Syria for 43 years. After a fierce government crackdown, the peaceful protests spiraled into an armed rebellion, with rebels demanding al-Assad's ouster. The Syrian regime has consistently said it is battling "terrorists." As the battles rage on, foreign fighters -- including radical militants -- have joined both sides of the civil war. Well over 100,000 people, including many civilians, have been killed in the past three years. Evacuation truce in Homs goes into effect. What does the Homs truce mean for Syria?

Caprese Antipasto for Summerâ City Kitchen
Fred R. Conrad/The New York Times
Strict purists say that a true Caprese salad has only five ingredients: mozzarella, tomatoes basil, salt and olive oil.
STRICT purists say that a true Caprese salad has only five ingredients: mozzarella, tomatoes, basil, salt and olive oil.
I agree. There is no need to do more. The experience of eating a proper Caprese can be sublime.
And yet, a few complementary add-ons can turn the classic version into more of a meal, and I’m not opposed to that. I just consider it a variation on a theme. During these sun-drenched, drowsy summer days, a bumped-up Caprese antipasto is a drop-dead easy lunch or dinner.
As for those basic ingredients, thank heavens we now have sweet, ripe tomatoes, which are a prerequisite and a joy worth waiting for. Good mozzarella, another necessity, is not impossible to find. To surround them, I added roasted peppers, olives, caperberries and prosciutto, which hardly seemed like sacrilege. They probably would have been on my table anyway; I merely let everything mingle on one large platter.
For such a simple preparation, no precise recipe is needed, though I have given quantities for the antipasto I made at my house recently. But it’s more of a method than a recipe, and a very forgiving and uncomplicated one at that.
What’s really important is to get the freshest mozzarella possible, and to bring the cheese to room temperature. The texture will improve dramatically, its soft creaminess becoming more apparent.
Regarding the technique for roasting peppers, I don’t find it necessary to put them in a covered bowl or bag to steam after they have been blackened over a burner, as some people advise. I prefer a firmer, barely cooked pepper, so I just leave them on a plate to cool after cooking; the skin slips off without a problem.
Finally, erase from memory the horrible versions of so-called Caprese you get in many restaurants year-round, the tasteless hothouse tomatoes and rubbery cheese, stacked tall and drizzled with who-knows-what-kind of reduced vinegar concoction. They range from minor crimes to major misdemeanors to heartless atrocities.
This is a dish to eat at home, in season, with a glass of cool wine.

The parents of Kayla Mueller, the American aid worker who was killed in ISIS captivity, are speaking out for the first time about her death. Marsha and Carl Mueller sat down with Today's Savannah Guthrie to pay tribute to their 26-year-old daughter in an interview screening on Monday. Kayla's brother, Eric Mueller, will also address their loss and his hopes that people will be provoked into researching and understanding the plight of Syrian refugees. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO. Speaking out: Carl and Marsha Mueller and their son Eric have spoken to Today's savannah Guthrie about losing Kayla, 26, the U.S. aid worker who was killed earlier this month while in captivity in Syria, held by ISIS. It comes after a candlelit vigil in the plaza of a central Arizona courthouse on Tuesday, when hundreds gathered to hear Eric Mueller offer a heart wrenching tribute to his sister, who died last month. The 26-year-old aid worker's death was confirmed on February 10 by her family and U.S. officials following her capture by the jihadis in Syria in August 2013. Before the crowd, her brother offered a poignant message to his sister when he told her: 'You can rest in peace knowing you have changed the world.' Mr Mueller encouraged those in attendance to live as his best friend and sister had, by reaching out to others who were suffering. Kayla Mueller's brother Eric Mueller gives a heartfelt tribute to his beloved sister during the vigil on Tuesday. Miss Mueller's parents Carl and Marsha hold a candle each during the emotional vigil in their hometown. Tonya Castillo (left) comforts her daughter Tiffany Reid during the memorial service in Prescott, Arizona. Candice Fabrie (left) and Cindy Craig embrace beside a memorial book signing and canned goods collection organised in Miss Mueller's name. Miss Mueller's father Carl (right) is hugged by a friend of his daughter after she was killed while being held captive by ISIS militants. Friends said 26-year-old Kayla Mueller (pictured left and right) was tireless in her efforts to improve others' lives and said she represented the best of humanity. In the first public comments he has made since her death, he said: 'Only now will you be able to see how much you truly did for this world by looking down on it. You can rest in peace knowing you have changed the world,' USA Today reported. He went on to implore the crowd to help those who are struggling - a belief his sister had dedicated her life to. 'If you see someone struggling, see somebody upset, go give them a hug. It will make the community stronger. That's all it's going to do.' His father, Carl Mueller, stood up immediately after his son finished speaking and hugged him tightly at the bottom of the stage. Friends, family and strangers wore pink ribbons on their shirts as they listened to speakers reflect on her life and work. Strangers and friends dropped off cards and wrote messages for a scrapbook, calling her an angel and saying she represented the best of humanity.

Pastor Ron Merrell said he was hopeful the community that gathered would give hope and love to Miss Mueller's family, and bring light into darkness - 'something that Kayla Mueller was good at.'
