Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Omaha, Nebraska (the Heartland Project)When Ryan Sallans, an activist in the Nebraska transgender community, first went to the doctor in 2005 to talk about what he medically needed to do for his gender transition, his doctor wanted to offer medical help. That was the good news. The disconcerting news was the doctor had to Google the issue first to figure out the best medical advice. "My provider just did a Web search to figure out what dose of hormones I should be on, and put me on the highest dose," Sallans said. That could have been a dangerous choice. "Starting too high of a dose too quickly can cause a lot of health problems, particularly to cardiovascular health." Fortunately, Sallans didn't have any health complications. But his experience left him with a mission. He volunteers to speak with medical institutions, as well as with businesses and colleges, to urge them to be more LGBT inclusive. While a growing number of medical schools are teaching future doctors how to address health concerns that can be specific to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities, studies show current doctors only get about five hours of training, if they get any at all. The transgender life: What to know, say and understand . For members of the LGBT community who live in more rural and conservative areas like Nebraska, the struggle to get good, or at least up-to-date, medical care may be even more difficult. In general, legal protections and institutional supports for LGBT Nebraskans are already thin, spotty or nonexistent. On March 2, the United States District Court struck down Nebraska's ban on marriage for same-sex couples, but that ruling is on appeal. Then there were 12: Nebraska ordered to end same-sex marriage ban . Without the legal institution of marriage, LGBT Nebraskans typically lack family health benefits, unless their employers provide them to same-sex partners. A 2014 study from the Williams Institute at the University of California Los Angeles found that states without LGBT legal protections in place see lower rates of health insurance coverage for LGBT residents than states with protections. That plays out in Nebraska. A 2014 study from researchers at the University of Nebraska Omaha found that LGBT residents in the rural parts of the state have lower rates of health insurance coverage than their counterparts in urban areas. Time to close HIV's racial disparities . Even when LGBT Nebraskans have health insurance, they struggle to find providers versed in lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender heath care needs. Research shows that LGBT individuals often experience health issues linked to being regular targets of discrimination or social stigma. Discrimination has been linked to higher rates of substance abuse, suicide and stress-related illnesses, which can include heart problems, obesity, eating disorders and cancer. If the available doctors are not familiar with the increased rates of these issues, they may provide inadequate care. Patients who find their doctors do not understand their issues may also delay treatment, often with bad health outcomes, said Jay Irwin, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Nebraska-Omaha and a researcher in LGBT health. Sometimes patients are turned away by providers who don't want to treat LGBT patients, particularly if there are no laws to prohibit such discrimination. Irwin has completed studies that focus on the health care challenges of lesbians in rural areas and found that many people feel isolated and are afraid to come out -- or risk discrimination in the medical office. Supreme Court same sex marriage decision could impact election . Nebraska's sheer size doesn't help. Sixteenth largest in the nation by geography, members of its LGBT community often live far from large cities with significant LGBT populations and with teaching hospitals with staff members who have experience working with members of that community. The Human Rights Campaign's 2014 Healthcare Equality Index named four Nebraska health care facilities, all in Omaha, as leaders in LGBT health care equality. Omaha is on the state's eastern border with Iowa. LGBT residents in western Nebraska -- for instance, places like North Platte -- have to travel 270 miles in either direction, to Omaha or Denver, Colorado, to reach facilities designated as leaders by the Human Rights Campaign. People who work within the health care system have seen some improvement when it comes to treating members of the LGBT community. Jill Young is the client services manager at Nebraska AIDS Project's Scottsbluff, Nebraska, office in the western part of the state. She recalled when she started working there in the late 1990s she saw medical staff refuse care to LGBT people with HIV/AIDS. HIV deaths among African-Americans drop 18%, CDC says . "We had nurses, for example, who said they wouldn't serve patients with HIV/AIDS," Young said. "But we've come a long way since then." Young has seen more hospitals in the region adopting policies that are supportive of LGBT residents, including one that just started recognizing same-sex partners' wills as legal documents that will allow them access to their partners when they are being cared for in areas restricted to immediate family only. But she said she still sees too many LGBT residents traveling great distances to get care and she still sees too many patients who don't seek medical care until it is too late. "We still go to the hospital," she said, "and see people who are days away from dying." Eric Yarwood, 44, has more experience than he would like with Nebraska's health care facilities. He spent over 100 days last year at hospitals in Omaha for complications related to germ cell cancer. He had nine rounds of chemotherapy, three stem cell transplants, his third surgery two weeks ago and five more days for followup last week. For all but four of the days he was in the hospital, his partner, Aaron Persen, 36, was at his side every evening. "Aaron and I are a unit," Yarwood said. "I can count on my fingers the number of times he didn't come." While the couple has found the overwhelming majority of physicians and medical staff to be "genuinely supportive" of their relationship, there still were a few instances when they felt uncomfortable and unaccepted, once with a physician and another time with a nurse. "I'm not sure how often the medical staff works with gay couples or receives training on how to work with gay couples," Yarwood said. Same-sex marriage fast facts . Yarwood's prognosis is good, and the couple looks with optimism to a future of having more access to LGBT-inclusive health care facilities and a more inclusive state overall. "Hopefully, by the time we get through the cancer and save a little money," Persen said, "Nebraska will follow most other states and allow our relationship to be legally recognized." | A 2014 study finds LGBT residents in rural parts of Nebraska have lower rates of health insurance coverage .

The victim’s ordeal began in the early hours of Thursday morning when he was asked by two men in the Nob Hill area of the city to smoke marijuana with them. The 35-year-old Californian agreed and they walked to an apartment, or possibly a hotel room, in the 2000 block of Polk Street, according to local media. A man who took up an offer from two strangers in the street to smoke marijuana later had his clothes stolen by them after being assaulted, police in San Francisco said . Quoting a police source, nbcdfw.com said that after arriving in the room the victim took his jacket and pants off, having become too warm. After visiting the bathroom, the victim was punched in the face by the two suspects, who then took his cellphone, wallet and clothing, the site said. Police were called to the scene at 3.45am. The victim refused medical treatment for minor bruising to his cheek.

Sales hit nearly $700 million last year, with medical marijuana accounting for $386million and recreational pot bringing in $313million. But recreational sales of pot-infused edible products, such as candies and cookies, outstripped medical sales by about 2.85million units to 1.96million, according to the report. In total, 4.81million units of edible marijuana were sold - which would equal giving one edible to almost every resident in Colorado, according to 9News.

What does Thai Songkran festival represents and how many days does it last? | Songkran is a term derived from Sanskrit संक्रान्ति saṅkrānti meaning 'to move' or 'movement'. It derives from the movement of the sun from one position to another in the zodiac. According to its literal meaning in Sanskrit, a Songkran occurs every month. However, the period that Thai people refer to as Songkran happens when the sun moves from Pisces to Aries in the zodiac. The correct name for this period should actually be Maha Songkran ('great Songkran) because it coincides with the arrival of a New Year. The Songkran festival is, therefore, a celebration of the New Year in accordance with the solar calendar. The celebration covers a period of three days: 13 April is regarded as Maha Songkran, the day that the sun moves into Aries on the zodiac or the last day of the old year. The next day, 14 April is called Wan Nao, the transitional day between the old and the new years, and 15 April is called Wan Thaloeng Sok (Thai: วันเถลิงศก 'to begin a new era or year'), New Year's day itself. | Thai Songkran festival is a New Year celebration in Thailand according to solar calendar.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Tony Blair has given the Labour Party more than £100,000, in an apparent bid to ingratiate himself with Ed Miliband. The former prime minister, who has a strained relationship with the Labour leader, announced last night that he had given £1,000 to each of the 106 candidates fighting target seats for the party in May. In a letter to candidates, Mr Blair said: ‘I know how hard it can be to raise money to fund a local campaign, but for you, in one of our 106 battleground seats, it is even more vital. This is where the election will be won for Labour and that is why I am making a donation to all 106 campaigns. Former Prime Minister Tony Blair, right, has given the Labour Party more than £100,000 in an apparent bid to ingratiate himself with Ed Miliband, left . ‘As one of our key seat candidates, you know better than most the scale of the challenge we face, but I have every confidence that with your drive, determination and organisational skills, you will deliver a successful local campaign that will also see our party returned to government.’ Labour indicated that Mr Blair will also play a role in the election campaign, despite having made clear that he disapproves of Mr Miliband’s Left-wing stance. The donation represents a relatively modest gesture from Mr Blair, whose personal fortune is estimated at anything up to £100million following years of lucrative consultancies with big corporations and foreign regimes and a string of high-profile property deals. The source of the cash is likely to provoke unease among some Labour MPs, given controversy over Mr Blair’s dealings with dictatorships such as Kazakhstan, and the fact that he remains under the shadow of the Chilcot inquiry into the Iraq war, which is due to be published after the election. His intervention will be seen as a sign that the former prime minister is keen to mend fences with a party leadership that has publicly distanced itself from his creation, New Labour. The donation is a relatively modest gesture given controversy over Mr Blair's dealings with Kazakhstan president Nursultan Nazarbayev, pictured . Although Mr Blair has said he has no desire to return to front-line politics in the UK, friends say he is distressed by the way the party he led to three election victories has turned its back on him. Mr Blair is known to have backed Mr Miliband’s elder brother David for the Labour leadership in 2010. And he has made little secret of his dismay at the way Ed Miliband has dragged Labour to the Left and alienated business. In December, Mr Blair warned that the tactics were likely to lose Labour the election, telling the Economist magazine that the election was shaping up to be one ‘in which a traditional Left-wing party competes with a traditional Right-wing party, with the traditional result’. Asked if he meant a Tory win, Mr Blair replied: ‘Yes, that is what happens.’ He ‘clarified’ his comments the next day, saying he had been ‘misinterpreted’ and that he wanted and expected Mr Miliband to seize power. A Labour spokesman last night welcomed Mr Blair’s intervention, adding: ‘We’re delighted that Tony Blair has given so generously to the local campaigns in the battleground seats our party is targeting at this general election. ‘Our campaign is not based on big posters, talking over the heads of voters, or the sound and fury of Westminster politics. It is based on millions of conversations with people on their doorsteps and in their communities.’ | Former PM has given £1,000 each to 106 candidates fighting target seats .

Generate a summary of the text | An Aston Villa fan has revealed he was covered in blood after being struck on the head by a chair flung from the West Bromwich Albion section in scenes Kevin Phillips described as life-threatening. Mark Villers was watching Villa’s 2-0 FA Cup win over their local rivals from the lower section of the North Stand when away supporters housed above began ripping out seats and throwing them down. He told how he required treatment from Villa’s club doctor, who needed to cut his hair and glue the grisly wound on the top of his head closed. Aston Villa supporter Mark Villers needed his hair cut and wound glued together on Saturday night . Villers, 20, shows his blood-stained trainers after being hit by a seat during the Midlands derby at Villa Park . ‘It was mental,’ said Villers, 20, who attended the game with two friends. ‘We could see them throwing down the chairs after we scored the second so we walked down to by the advertising boards. We didn’t think they’d be able to reach. ‘All of a sudden, everyone shouted, “Duck” and stupidly I turned around. It literally hit me bang on the forehad, head on. ‘It was a shock but I didn’t think anything of it. I carried on cheering. Then I felt the blood pouring down my face. It was really bad. I’ve never bled that much. It was pouring out all over my clothes. It was a bad cut. ‘The pain wasn’t that bad, it was the shock of seeing blood come down my face. I knew it had hit me quite hard but I didn’t think it would cut me. It must have been caught by the sharp bit. ‘There were quite a lot of seats. After we scored the second goal things started flying down. To guess at the end it must have been 20 or 25. One landed on the pitch. Villers claims that West Brom supporters threw chairs at Villa supporters during the FA Cup tie . The fan's jeans and shoes were seen to be covered in claret after the trouble . ‘I didn’t need to go to hospital. I went to the stewards and they ushered me down the tunnel where the paramedics were. They held the tissue on and then the Villa doctor came, took me into the medical room, and glued it up for me. ‘He had to cut my hair unfortunately so I’ve got a bit of a bald patch. He cleaned me up and sent me on my way. ‘At least I got to go down the tunnel! I was sat down on a stretcher and saw Jack Grealish come through after he got sent off. Then I saw everyone going mad with the pitch invasion. ‘The pitch invasion is bad but I don’t think it’s as bad as people throwing chairs.' Speaking on Match of the Day, Phillips – who played for both West Brom and Villa during his playing career – said such actions could have been fatal.

Scorer Scott Sinclair (second left) is mobbed by a fan and team-mates Ashley Westwood and Jack Grealish . ‘Seeing those seats come down, it could kill someone,’ he said. ‘It was like the Seventies and Eighties again. Those people should be found and banned.’ Villers, a business development manager at a futsal centre, questioned why Villa organise the away seating in such a fashion for Cup matches. ‘Having the away fans above the home fans for Cup games is pretty stupid and is asking for trouble in my opinion,’ he said. ‘They should change that. One of the paramedics said a fan had been hit by a 50p piece.’ West Brom midfielder Craig Gardner also appeared to have coins thrown his direction when taking corners near Villa fans. | WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Are your heroes disappointing you? You're not alone. Most people yearn for role models, for someone to admire and emulate. But then sometimes: Crash! Unless the superheroes perform their awe-inspiring work in the comic books or the movies, they eventually slide off the pedestal; or perhaps they get smashed down to the ground, breaking into too many pieces to repair. The admirer is left heartbroken or disillusioned. If you want to admire someone fully, you should not look too closely. If you want to admire them smartly, you should brace yourself for at least some measure of disappointment. In the political arena, the season of scrutiny and revelations is just getting started with Hillary Clinton and her email practices as secretary of state under the microscope. After a press conference at the United Nations on Tuesday, worries that she is too secretive and calculating are emerging again. For some diehard supporters, this is all about Clinton-hating Republican politics. But to people who may have held Clinton as a model and inspiration, it may raise doubts. Is Hillary a hero or is she not to be trusted? Or, is there an altogether different answer? For me, two individuals in particular were once important heroes. A couple of weeks ago, during a trip to the Middle East, I had the unexpected good fortune to meet someone I have admired for many years: the Liberian President and Nobel Peace Prize winner Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. I had the opportunity to chat with her, and the conversation left me even more impressed with her. She's a truly inspiring woman. I tweeted a picture of the President and me, calling her "my hero," a word I seldom use. Moments later, I received a reply (since deleted) from a Twitter connection informing me that Sirleaf has a dismal record on gay rights and had very publicly announced she would refuse to sign a bill to end prison sentences for gay Liberians. The incident reminded me of what has happened with another woman I have admired greatly over the years, the Burmese pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi, also a Nobel Peace Prize winner. Suu Kyi endured decades of house arrest and great personal hardship to help gain freedom for her people from a harsh military dictatorship that entrenched itself for half a century. It seemed a hopeless quest, but she persisted courageously. Then, four years ago, the situation changed. The government of Myanmar (also known as Burma) freed her from arrest and she became a member of parliament and an influential political leader. The woman who stood firm for her principles has suddenly gone silent on one of the worst abuses still occurring in her country: the brutal treatment of Myanmar's Rohingya minority. This disappointed many of her admirers. Like Sirleaf on LGBT issues, Suu Kyi is making cold political calculations on the issue of the Rohingya, weighing cost against benefit, and setting aside principles in the process. Does that mean we should ignore these women's incredible track records? Should we ignore the fact that Sirleaf became the first woman to be democratically elected president in all of Africa, taking over a country racked by a brutal civil war and guiding it toward a better future; inspiring Africans to fight against corruption, showing women everywhere that they can make a difference? Should we ignore Suu Kyi's astonishing ability to draw international attention to a repressive regime, paying an enormous personal price and ultimately succeeding? Or should we ignore their deliberate blind spots on politically inconvenient issues, even if they concern human rights, which were supposed to stand at the core of what drove these leaders? The challenge is for each of us to make judgments based on our own values. Consider Thomas Jefferson, the man who composed one of the most remarkable documents in human history -- the Declaration of Independence. The words -- "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal" -- are profound and history-changing. And yet, Jefferson, we now know, had a dark side, one that included not only slave ownership, but also the mistreatment of human beings he bought and sold. Human flaws come in all sizes, some small, some overwhelming. Men who have achieved the status of near saints were known as deeply flawed by those closest to them. Mahatma Gandi and Nelson Mandela were terrible fathers. Steve Jobs, the man who gave us our beloved iPhones and iPads, who made technology an irresistible, magnificent addition to our lives, turns out to have been a jerk in some ways. He was a genius, but he was, as one reviewer of his biography put it, "a world class asshole." Sports stars have broken the hearts of their admirers. From Lance Armstrong and all those who took performance-enhancing drugs to the athletes who abuse their spouses, the sound of heroes crashing off the pedestals has been deafening. And we can be sure there are many more peccadilloes that would be found if the lens closed in tightly enough. The fact is, there are no perfect human beings. The ancient Greeks took it even further, giving their gods deep, even devastating human-like shortcomings. They still had their strengths, but their weaknesses could compel their decision-making, taking them in disastrous directions. When mere mortals like the rest of us try to decide who is deserving of hero worship, we should temper our expectations. Humans will disappoint. The truth is I am almost allergic to hero worship (despite that recent tweet.) There are people I admire, but I think it's best to focus on the qualities of individuals when I find them to be inspiring and worthy of admiration -- whether it's a girl from Pakistan or a particularly courageous and wise public figure. I try to appreciate moments of heroism and impressive personality traits. There are talented, courageous, inspiring politicians, actors, activists, artists and writers. But when it comes to all-around superheroes, they belong in the comic pages and the movies. | Frida Ghitis: Are your heroes disappointing you? You're not alone .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)A new Justice Department report on Ferguson's police and courts could not be more clear: Change is needed. The 102-page report details widespread and systemic discrimination against blacks at the hands of officials -- painting probably the clearest picture yet of what the rule of law looks and feels like in the Missouri city. It includes 26 recommendations. The report is scathing in its critique, and clear about what needs to happen next, but it doesn't address the question: Who, if anyone, is responsible for what took place? Are individual officers to blame? Is the police chief? What about city officials who repeatedly pushed police to increase revenue through ticketing, resulting in disproportionate targeting of African-Americans? Writing for CNN, criminal defense attorney Mark O'Mara argues in favor of gutting the entire police department, and starting from scratch. So far, one person has been fired; two more are on administrative leave. Are more heads likely to roll? "When the attorney general said that the Department of Justice has made certain recommendations, those aren't necessarily just recommendations. The Ferguson police department and municipal courts will have to reform. This is a must-do situation. We're talking about wholesale reform," said CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin. "And I would be very surprised that any of the leadership remains." Mayor James Knowles said the two employees on leave are awaiting the results of an internal investigation. "Department of Justice officials informed the city of Ferguson that a review of city emails uncovered explicit racial bias by three individuals who are employed by the city of Ferguson police department. Let me be clear: This type of behavior will not be tolerated in the Ferguson police department or in any department in the city of Ferguson," he told reporters Wednesday. "The three individuals were placed on administrative leave pending an investigation. One has since been terminated." A source said the two employees "will not survive the investigation." CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin criticized the mayor's response, seemingly suggesting that more needed to be done in the wake of the Justice Department report. "You read this report, and, one officer loses his job? You know, you translate the bureaucratic gobbledygook of the mayor, that's all that happened there," he said. Surprisingly to some, controversial Police Chief Tom Jackson remains at the helm. So does Knowles. Although the report is limited to correcting action going forward, people affected by past abuses do have the option of filing civil lawsuits against specific individuals. Such cases are not easy to bring, according to Peter Joy, a law professor at Washington University in St. Louis. "In a court of law, the findings of this report wouldn't even be admissible," he said. "Basically, you'd have to prove each allegation." Joy gave an example of person who paid a $100 fine that was unjustly levied. Finding lawyers who would take an individual case like that would be tough, he said, because there is no guarantee they could recover on behalf of their client, and the amount of damages could very widely. Practically, that person may be out of luck. But if the Justice Department gets its way, illegal or improper behavior on the part of police and courts in Ferguson could soon be a thing of the past. "It is time for Ferguson's leaders to take immediate, wholesale and structural corrective action," said Attorney General Eric Holder. "The United States Department of Justice reserves all of its rights and abilities to force compliance and to implement basic change. Nothing is off the table." CNN's Sara Sidner contributed to this report. | So far, one person has been fired; two more are on administrative leave . Controversial Police Chief Tom Jackson remains at the helm . |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | WHAT MORE DOES WAYNE HAVE TO DO . When Louis van Gaal said he needed a 20-goal-a-season striker, I almost laughed. Manchester United have spent huge money and now he is saying Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie or Radamel Falcao can’t score 20 goals? Do me a favour. Rooney issued the perfect response on Saturday. I still don’t know why Van Gaal insists on playing him in midfield. In his career Rooney averages 18.8 goals a season. At United that figure is 20.6 goals. Still not good enough, Louis? Even if he only meant league goals, Rooney still ranks highly. Thierry Henry, one of the deadliest strikers in Premier League history and my Sky colleague at Wembley on Sunday, only scored 20 league goals in a season five times. Wayne has done it twice. His Premier League average is 14.1 a season but Alan Shearer, the league’s leading goalscorer, averaged 18.6. Using Van Gaal’s maths, even Shearer couldn’t get into this United team… . Louis van Gaal's suggestion that he needs a 20-goal-a-season striker is laughable - he has Wayne Rooney . Rooney scores for Manchester United against Sunderland in their 2-0 win at Old Trafford on Saturday . THE BACK FOUR LOVE TO SCORE . It was not a vintage final, but Chelsea’s back four held the key to victory at Wembley. Last time they played Tottenham they conceded five. On Sunday they didn’t give them a sniff. Not only that but they were a threat at every set piece — Spurs looked fragile whenever John Terry and Co. went up. The Chelsea defence has contributed 17 goals and 13 assists this season and typify Jose Mourinho’s style: win at all costs. The Chelsea defence has contributed 17 goals and 13 assists this season and were excellent at Wembley . HAMMERS MUST AVOID FLAT FINISH . It was a surprise to see a Sam Allardyce team concede three set-piece goals. They are normally well organised, but I wonder if Big Sam’s contract situation is affecting the players. It’s the chairmen’s prerogative not to talk deals until the summer, but if the players aren’t sure the manager will be there, they might wonder why they should keep playing for him. Alex Song in particular was poor on Saturday and after a fine season for the club, it would be a pity if it tailed off. Sam Allardyce needs to turn West Ham's form around to avoid a depressing end to the season . Peter Crouch has now scored 46 Premier League headers, equalling Alan Shearer’s record in the competition. PETER PERFECT . When I played alongside Peter Crouch at Southampton, I was laughed at for saying he was good enough for England. Crouch has spent his career fighting people’s perceptions, but there is no doubt he has made the absolute most of his abilities. He scored a fantastic header against Hull but, even at 6ft 7in, heading may not even be the best part of his game. He’s got a great touch, scored some fantastic goals — scissor kicks against Galatasaray, hat-tricks against Arsenal, volleys against Man City — and has enjoyed some memorable moments. Peter Crouch celebrates after scoring against Hull City during their Premier League clash . BRENDAN'S NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION . After that brilliant win over Man City, Liverpool are bang in the race for the top four. And here is a stat to prove it. In his three years in charge, Brendan Rodgers has lost just four league games after January 1. That is some record. Liverpool obviously tailor their training to perfection in the new year and make sure they are in form at just the right time. It helped their title challenge last season and it could be key to Champions League qualification this time round. They were excellent against City, with two world class goals, and they proved there is life after Steven Gerrard. With no Europa League football to distract them now, there’s no doubt Liverpool have what it takes to hunt down and catch Manchester United and Arsenal. Liverpool's players celebrate during their 2-1 win against Manchester City at Anfield on Sunday . MURRAY'S MOMENT . Glenn Murray was key in Crystal Palace’s promotion to the Premier League but will have been gutted to miss most of 2013-14 with injury. He spent the first half of this season on loan but at Upton Park he looked every inch a top-flight striker. His movement was good, he held the ball up well and though he was lucky with his first goal, his second was top class. Yes, he tainted his day with a silly red card, but he looked like he was loving every minute. He deserves it. Glenn Murray rises above the West Ham defence to score during Crystal Palace's win at Upton Park . SWANS FLYING UNDER MONK . When Swansea sold Wilfried Bony I feared for them, but Garry Monk’s team have continued as if nothing has happened. Their win at Burnley was scrappy but it was another three points and the club is in its best ever position after 27 games. Brendan Rodgers and Michael Laudrup might be more ‘glamorous’ names but, as our table shows, Monk is outperforming both. I like the way his team plays, I admire his honesty and if Swansea keep it up, he will be more than justified in asking for extra investment in the summer. Swansea City manager Garry Monk has coped exceptionally well with the departure of Wilfried Bony . VILLA ARE IN DESPERATE NEED OF SOME VICTORIES . In the last 10 seasons, the average number of points needed to stay up has been 36. This season it could be even lower. Either way, Aston Villa face an uphill struggle. Tim Sherwood’s side are 14 points shy of that average with 11 games left. They’ll need at least three or four wins but when they have won just five all season, and with away games at Manchester United, Tottenham, Manchester City and Southampton to come, that’s easier said than done. I think they will survive but Sherwood has to make the numbers add up. P.S. It was great to see Jonas Gutierrez back at Newcastle after his battles with testicular cancer and he got a fantastic reception. It’s exactly what he deserved. Jonas Gutierrez was back on the bench for Newcastle after recovering from testicular cancer . | Wayne Rooney career scoring record better than he's given credit for . Louis van Gaal's complaints about his strikers are laughable . Chelsea's defence has played a part in 30 goals for their team this season . West Ham are in danger of ruining what has been a great season for them . Liverpool are back in the race for a Champions League spot . |

A U.S. law enforcement official says a former taxi driver from northern Virginia included on the FBI's list of most-wanted terrorists has been detained in Somalia. The official said 29-year-old Liban Mohamed is currently in Somali custody. He would not describe what efforts would be made to bring Mohamed to the United States for trial. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he said he is not authorized to discuss an ongoing investigation. Mohamed is charged with providing material support to al-Qaeda and al-Shabab and is one of about 30 people on the terrorist list. 'Al Shabaab has claimed responsibility for many bombings in Somalia and Uganda and the 2013 attack on the Westgate Mall in Nairobi, Kenya,' said Carl Ghattas, an agent in charge of the Counterterrorism Division at the time of his inclusion on the most-wanted list. The FBI believes he left the U.S. in 2012. He was placed on the list about a month ago. Mohamed was formerly a cabdriver, The Washington Post reports, and is suspected of having helped in operations in al-Shabab as well as recruiting new members. Anonymous sources told the press he was well-versed regarding potential targets in Washington. 'While living in Northern Virginia, Mohamed was a recruiter and radicalizer for al Shabaab, which historically has targeted Westerners to go to Somalia and fight for them,' Ghattas said. 'Not only did Mohamed choose to go to Somalia and fight with al Shabaab, he took a prominent role in trying to recruit people and have them train with weapons.' The former cab driver was said to have knowledge of several potential targets in Washington . He added: 'It is important for us to locate Mohamed because he has knowledge of the Washington, D.C. area’s infrastructure such as shopping areas, Metro, airports, and government buildings. This makes him an asset to his terrorist associates who might plot attacks on U.S. soil.' A $50,000 reward was put out for information leading to his capture. Attorney Gadeir Abbas has represented Mohamed's family on separate matters. He declined to comment. While the U.S. has no extradition treaty with Somalia efforts are underway to bring Mohamed back to Virginia. | 29-year-old Liban Mohamed is currently in Somali custody .

Tell me about Roger Federer | Roger Federer (German: [ˈrɔdʒər ˈfeːdərər]; born 8 August 1981) is a Swiss former professional tennis player. He was ranked world No. 1 by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP) for 310 weeks, including a record 237 consecutive weeks, and finished as the year-end No. 1 five times. He won 103 singles titles on the ATP Tour, the second most of all time, including 20 major men's singles titles, a record eight men's singles Wimbledon titles, an Open Era joint-record five men's singles US Open titles, and a joint-record six year-end championships. In his home country, he is regarded as "the greatest and most successful" Swiss sportsperson in history.
A Wimbledon junior champion in 1998 and former ball boy, Federer won his first major singles title at Wimbledon in 2003 at age 21. Between 2003 and 2009, Federer played in 21 out of 28 major singles finals. He won three of the four majors and the ATP Finals in 2004, 2006, and 2007 as well as five consecutive titles at both Wimbledon and the US Open. He completed the career Grand Slam at the 2009 French Open after three consecutive runner-up finishes to Nadal, his main rival until 2010. At age 27, he surpassed Pete Sampras' record of 14 major men's singles titles at Wimbledon in 2009.
Federer and Stan Wawrinka led the Switzerland Davis Cup team to their first title in 2014, following their Olympic doubles gold victory at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Federer also won a silver medal in singles at the 2012 London Olympics, finishing runner-up to Andy Murray. After a half-year hiatus in late 2016 to recover from knee surgery, Federer returned to tennis, winning three more majors over the next two years, including the 2017 Australian Open over Rafael Nadal and an eighth singles title at the 2017 Wimbledon Championships. At the 2018 Australian Open, Federer became the first man to win 20 major singles titles and shortly the oldest ATP world No. 1 at age 36. In September 2022, he retired from professional tennis following the Laver Cup.
A versatile all-court player, Federer's perceived effortlessness has made him highly popular among tennis fans. Originally lacking self-control as a junior, he transformed his on-court demeanor to become well-liked for his graciousness, winning the Stefan Edberg Sportsmanship Award 13 times. He has won the Laureus World Sportsman of the Year award a record five times. Outside of competing, he played an instrumental role in the creation of the Laver Cup team competition. He is also an active philanthropist. He established the Roger Federer Foundation, which targets impoverished children in southern Africa, and has raised funds in part through the Match for Africa exhibition series. He is routinely one of the top ten highest-paid athletes in any sport and ranked first among all athletes with $100 million in endorsement income in 2020. | Roger Federer, born 8 August 1981, is a Swiss former professional tennis player.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Many years ago I performed at the Surf Ballroom, in Clear Lake, Iowa, which was the last stop on Buddy Holly's final tour. He was killed in a plane crash in 1959 that also took the lives of singers J.P. "The Big Bopper" Richardson and Ritchie Valens. By this time, Buddy Holly and I had had a pretty long history together. The concert that I performed at had all the old members of his group. Donna, who Ritchie Valens wrote a song about, was also there. Peggy Sue, who Buddy Holly sang about, was there too. The Picks were there -- they sang background vocals on Buddy's records -- as well as singer Tommy Allsup, who claimed that years later he got his wallet back from the crash site. Unfortunately some fans at this show were selling crash-site photos, which I thought was in extremely bad taste. I think the prospect of the National Transportation Safety Board delving into the crash again, which might mean exhuming bodies and all the rest, would be in similarly bad taste. I think there's a reason we say, "rest in peace." Buddy Holly would have the same stature musically whether he would have lived or died, because of his accomplishments which, in retrospect, nobody -- and I mean nobody, not the Beatles the Rolling Stones or anyone else -- can beat, for these reasons: By the time he was 22 years old he had recorded some 50 tracks, most of which he had written himself and each of them, in my view and the view of many others, a hit. Buddy Holly and the Crickets were the template for all the rock bands that followed. No rock 'n' roll records can touch songs like "Rave On," "Think it Over," "Not Fade Away," "Peggy Sue" and many, many more. He was also a sensitive, ballad composer and singer, which people often overlook, with songs like "Moondreams" and "True Love Ways," among many. As a paperboy, I cut open the stack of papers on February 3, 1959, and saw that Buddy Holly had been killed in the plane crash. The next day I went to school in shock, and guess what? Nobody cared. Rock 'n roll in those days was sort of like hula hoops and Buddy hadn't had a big hit on the charts since '57, nor had the others in the plane crash. Americans in those days were always looking ahead. Death was not lingered over. We'd had enough of that in World War II. Death and grief did not go with the exuberance and bright colors of the 1950s. Since then we have embarked on what I would call the "American death trip." One simply has to look at the slew of autopsy shows on television and the endless regurgitation of Marilyn, Elvis and JFK death details to get my point. Furthermore, because of the ever-growing psychological power of the media, we seem to think we can reach back half a century and touch things as if they are real. We live in a virtual nostalgic world because of this. Fortunately, Buddy Holly's music is forever young and all any young person has to do is listen to it and his life will be changed forever. | Don McLean: It's bad idea for NTSB to re-examine 1959 crash that killed Buddy Holly, "Big Bopper," Ritchie Valens . He says it's distasteful; they should "rest in peace" He says looking at crash case again is only part of the "American death trip" that pervades our culture . |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)On Saturday, just hours after four suicide bombers set off a series of blasts in the northeastern Nigerian city of Maiduguri that left at least fifty people dead and scores more wounded, the militant organization thought responsible for the attacks, Boko Haram, reportedly announced that it was swearing allegiance to the so-called Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS). According to a report quoting the SITE extremist monitoring organization, an audio recording purportedly from Boko Haram's leader, Abubakar Shekau, hailed ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi as "caliph" and declared: "We announce our allegiance to the Caliph...and will hear and obey in times of difficulty and prosperity." This latest development is not entirely unexpected given the increasing convergence between the two groups over the course of the last year as well as the severe pressure that the militaries of Nigeria and its neighbors have recently (if somewhat belatedly) brought to bear on it. In fact, the "shout-outs" exchanged regularly between Boko Haram and ISIS were not just rhetorical flourishes, but indicative of a veritable courtship as the former appropriated more and more of the latter's symbolism, tactics, and ideology. This isn't the first time that Boko Haram has adapted itself to conform with a larger extremist network that could aid it: previously the group underwent a similar evolution after Shekau took over from its slain founder, Muhammad Yusuf, in 2009 and aligned it with al-Qaeda's affiliate in North Africa, al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), which gave Boko Haram training as well as facilitated its carrying out of Nigeria's first suicide bombings in 2011. Despite the assistance that Boko Haram received from AQIM and other aligned groups in the years since, the Nigerian militants' ideology and brutal tactics have progressively drawn closer to those of ISIS. Like ISIS, Boko Haram has progressed far beyond asymmetric terrorist attacks to sophisticated military operations resulting in its successfully overrunning and effectively controlling large parts in northeastern Nigeria and displacing millions of people. Just two weeks ago, in his most recent annual Worldwide Threat Assessment, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper warned the U.S. Congress that "Boko Haram will probably continue to solidify its control over its self-declared Islamic state in northeastern Nigeria and expand its terror campaign into neighboring Nigerian states, Cameroon, Niger, and Chad." The timing of Shekau's pledge of allegiance is not without its strategic logic. Notwithstanding its string of victories through the beginning of this year, Boko Haram has been reeling in recent weeks from a series of military defeats at the hands of the Nigerian armed forces as well as a multinational force from neighboring countries, including Niger, Chad, and Cameroon. The Nigerian government and its regional allies have been pushing back and, in quite a number of instances, retaking towns. Likewise, ISIS has seen its rampage through Syria and Iraq stall and it has increasingly been put on the defensive by operations like the massive Iranian-backed Iraqi offensive to retake Tikrit this past week. Thus for both groups the new linkage provides a much-needed propaganda fillip at a just the right moment. So what does the pledge mean moving forward? At least in the short term, the merger will not have much immediate impact on the battlefield: the different social and political contexts in which each operates and the vast geographical distance separating the two groups means that each will have to face its foes with little more than moral support from each other, notwithstanding some evidence of possible collaboration in cyberspace and in terms of media production. However, finding the military noose tightening around him, and with the approbation of his new ISIS overlord who has embraced all manner of brutal tactics ranging from mass kidnappings and executions to the burning alive of a captured Jordanian pilot, Shekau can be expected to give even freer rein to the gruesome tactics for which he stands out, even among company such as this. And with Nigerians scheduled to cast ballots in a hotly contested presidential election on March 28, it is virtually guaranteed that militants, who reject democratic politics along with other "infidel" ideas, will target the electioneering and voting processes as well as try to exploit whatever disputes and tensions arise from them. Saturday's quadruple bombing in Maiduguri may just be the start of an intensified campaign of terrorist attacks. Over time, however, it could lead to the internationalization of a threat that has up to now largely been confined geographically. There is the risk that fighters from North Africa and other areas finding it harder to migrate to the ISIS caliphate's territory in the Levant, may well choose to move to the Boko Haram emirate instead. In fact, the international support recently pouring in for the multinational African anti-Boko Haram force from the United States, France, the United Kingdom, and others may render the Nigerian militants' fight all the more attractive to these foreign jihadists. On the other hand, Boko Haram's success as a movement has largely been the result of its denunciations of the Nigerian political elites resonating with the many ordinary citizens as well as its ethnic appeal to the Kanuri population in particular, both of which advantages could be lost if it becomes merely another "province" of a far-flung "Islamic State" focused on a broader jihadist cause. All this suggests that it remains to be seen whether the potential benefits of affiliation with ISIS -- including possible new streams of recruits, funding, and media and other support -- will offset Boko Haram's recent battlefield losses or outweigh the damage that it will incur as result, including greater attention from Western militaries and security agencies. What is clear, however, is that Boko Haram has shown once again that it remains one of the fastest-evolving jihadist groups, one that bears close watching not only for its challenge to the security of Africa's most populous country and its biggest economy, but for its not insignificant threat to the wider region. | Boko Haram has reportedly pledged its allegiance with ISIS . Peter Pham: In short term, the merger won't have big impact on battlefield . |

And they’ve also been shown to improve blood circulation, reduce blood clots and lower blood pressure. Clearly, there’s more to these fizzy little tablets of magnesium sulfate — traditionally used to aid digestion — than we thought. Here, we reveal some other uses. ADD BOUNCE TO YOUR HAIR . Add Epsom salts to your regular conditioner and heat over warm water and then rub into your hair and leave for 15 minutes (picture posed by model) If you want more volume in your hair, mix equal amounts of Epsom salts with your regular conditioner in a bowl and place over a saucepan of water to warm. Stir with a wooden spoon until the salt dissolves, rub into your hair and leave on for 15 minutes, then wash out. The alkaline salts will break down grease and product build-up, leaving you with extra bounce and shine. TOP UP YOUR TAN . Rub Epsom salts all over your body before applying self-tan cream to exfoliate your skin (picture posed by model) This is ideal if you are about to apply self-tan cream. When you step out of the shower or bath, take a few handfuls of Epsom salts and rub all over your body with a plastic loofah. The granules are bigger than those in sugar or table salt and perfect for exfoliation. Make sure you scrub behind your knees, ankles and elbows. Wash off with warm water before applying your tanning lotion — it should be flawless. FIRST AID HELP . Mixing Epsom salts with warm water and soaking a splinter in the solution can help draw the splinter towards the surface of the skin, making it easier to remove . If you have a splinter in your finger, mix two teaspoons of Epsom salts into a warm cup of water until it dissolves and place your hand in the water for five minutes. The minerals in the salt will draw the splinter to the surface of the skin, making it possible to pull out painlessly with tweezers. BANISH BRUISES . Need to get rid of an unsightly and painful bruise? Add two cups of Epsom salts to warm water in your bath and soak in it for at least 15 minutes (picture posed by model) Add two cups of Epsom salts to running warm water in your bath and swish it around until it has dissolved fully. Stay in the bath for at least 15 minutes to allow the magnesium in the salt to soak into your pores. This will help relax your muscles, banishing any aches and pains and reducing any bruising or swelling. TREAT SPOTS . Mix Epsom salts with your regular facial cleanser to help draw out impurities like blackheads and spots (picture posed by model) Mix a good slug of Epsom salts with your regular cleanser in a small bowl until it looks like a paste. Smooth the mixture over your face, rubbing in a little more deeply than you normally would. The minerals in the salts will help draw out impurities such as blackheads or spots, while the exfoliation will buff up your skin beautifully. Remove with cotton wool or water before applying your usual moisturiser. For deeper spots, add a few drops of water to a good dose of salts and dab directly on to any blemishes. Leave on overnight and rinse off in the morning. CURE HEADACHES . Mix Epsom salts with a glass of warm water and drink to ease headaches and migraines (picture posed by model) Headaches and migraines can be caused by a lack of magnesium in your system. At the first sign of a headache, take a big pinch of Epsom salts in the palm of one hand and have a glass of warm water in the other hand. Toss the salts into the glass of water and mix thoroughly. Drink as quickly as possible (it doesn’t taste great) and close your eyes for a few minutes to give the salts time to work. SLEEP BETTER . Take long, warm bath with three cups of Epsom salts dissolved in the water for a good night's sleep (picture posed by model) If you’ve been struggling to get a good night’s sleep, pour three cups of Epsom salts into a warm bath and soak for as long as you can. The magnesium will help reduce stress and anxiety and act as a sedative. Repeat every night until you settle yourself into a new sleeping pattern. | Gwyneth Paltrow and Victoria Beckham swear by them . They’ve also been shown to improve blood circulation and blood clots . But how should you be using Epsom salt to get the best results? |
Based on this paragraph, how many younger siblings did Kennedy have? | Kennedy was born on February 22, 1932, at St. Margaret's Hospital in the Dorchester section of Boston, Massachusetts. He was the youngest of the nine children of Joseph Patrick Kennedy and Rose Fitzgerald, members of prominent Irish American families in Boston. They constituted one of the wealthiest families in the nation after their marriage. His eight siblings were Joseph Jr., John, Rosemary, Kathleen, Eunice, Patricia, Robert, and Jean. His older brother John asked to be the newborn's godfather, a request his parents honored, though they did not agree to his request to name the baby George Washington Kennedy (Ted was born on President George Washington's 200th birthday). They named the boy after their father's assistant. | Based on this paragraph, Kennedy had no younger siblings, as he was the youngest of nine children. |

Generate a summary of the text | Scotland's Richie Ramsay recovered from seeing a three-shot lead disappear in the space of two holes to win the Hassan Trophy after a rollercoaster final round on Sunday. Ramsay made a blistering start at Golf du Palais Royal, carding four birdies in a row from the third to move into pole position in pursuit of his third European Tour title. The 31-year-old from Aberdeen then three-putted the seventh and ran up a triple-bogey six on the eighth, where he came up short of the green off the tee and saw his first two chips fail to negotiate a steep slope and roll back to his feet. Richie Ramsey poses with the Hassan Trophy after winning the event at Golf du Palais Royal in Morocco . Ramsay reacts after his second shot on the tenth hole during the final round of the Hassan Trophy . That left Ramsay two shots off the lead but he battled back superbly with a hat-trick of birdies from the 12th to reclaim the lead on his way to a closing 69 to finish 10 under par, one ahead of France's Romain Wattel. Wattel chipped in for par on the 15th after duffing his fourth shot just a few feet and birdied the 17th to get within one of Ramsay, but was unable to chip in for another birdie on the 18th to force a play-off. Six players shared third place on eight under, including South African George Coetzee, who had needed to win to move into the world's top 50 and qualify for the Masters. England's Tommy Fleetwood could also have secured a trip to Augusta with victory, but finished joint 17th after a closing 69. An emotional Ramsay, who had missed the cut in four of his five events this season and withdrew from the other after three rounds due to illness, dedicated the win to his wife Angela and brother Robin.

'I've gone through some tough times with injury but kept believing and they were at my back and said just go out there and play golf and that's what I did today. It was so much fun out there.' Asked about his triple bogey on the eighth, the former US amateur champion added: 'I just didn't execute the shot exactly as I wanted to. Hit a poor chip, rolled back into a divot, didn't come out, hit it back on, two putts, easy six. It's one of those courses that has so many holes like that. 'I knew I was still in the mix and walking down nine I was still level par for my round and I knew the back nine was very scoreable. I made great putts on nine and 10 just to keep the momentum going and then I stood over a putt on the 12th and felt my putter feels absolutely great. 'I said to myself just got for it, this is your time and pretty much took it by the scruff of the neck the next two holes.' | Richie Ramsay was delighted to win trophy after tough campaign .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Early Intervention changes lives. Respite care keeps families together. Both save states money over time. Alas, both -- along with a huge swathe of other vital services -- are under attack by the administration of Bruce Rauner, the new Republican governor of Illinois. This is happening for two reasons. First, Rauner has a problem. He promised to lower taxes despite a $6.2 billion structural budget deficit. Unwilling to think about new revenue, all he can do is cut programs. Second, Rauner's cuts are taking place against the backdrop of a bigger attack on disability. Too many right-wing politicians and pundits see disability as a wedge issue with which they can divide interest groups, pit people who need help against each other and rip apart the core social safety net. Meanwhile, they reassure their base, which is filled with individuals who also need help from the state, that only they really deserve benefits. Like Rauner, other governors are cutting services in the name of austerity. Kansas, under Sam Brownback, has pushed disabled people off Medicaid, making services less effective and efficient. Scott Walker, in Wisconsin, has proposed cutting long-term care services in such a way as to limit individual choice of caregivers and service providers, empowering the healthcare industry and not disabled Americans. Florida has gutted benefits to severely disabled individuals in workers' compensation cases and eliminated countless positions in the Department of Health. And that's all just at the state level. Nationally, the new Congress began the year with a sustained attack on Social Security Disability Insurance, which some analysts see as a way to threaten the whole foundation of Social Security. Last December, House Republicans insisted that the ABLE act, a bill intended to help people with disabilities and their caregivers save money, only be offered to those who were disabled before the age of 26, a limitation aimed at excluding people who become disabled through work, disease, accident or age. Now Bruce Rauner is adding to this troubling pattern. The Rauner budget slashes state spending by over $4 billion, much of the savings gleaned by eliminating or reducing eligibility for programs based in the Department of Human Services (DHS). Each cut will come with costs to families and individuals who need the state's help most. Moreover, many of the cut programs actually save the state money over time. Take, for example, Early Intervention, which provides services to children with developmental delays from birth to age 3 at little cost to the parents (there are means-tested co-pays). At their best, these therapies not only help children with disabilities learn new skills, but also teach parents to better understand their children. Right now, a child who is at least 30% delayed in any category -- for example being at least 30% less able to use speech than a typical child of their age -- is eligible for services. Now, as explained to me by a spokesperson for DHS, the program has to save $23 million (they did not explain how this number was picked). The plan is to take every child who is 30-49% delayed (about 10,000 children), re-test them, and remove eligibility from thousands of those deemed the least deserving until the arbitrary dollar amount is reached. Over the long term, this is not only bad for children, but is bad for Illinois' budget. The program is extremely economically efficient. For each dollar spent on programs like Early Intervention, according to studies by people such as the Nobel Laureate James Heckman and the Rand Corporation, the state saves at least $7 in future services. Those savings are, in fact, most likely to be realized most dramatically with precisely the children that DHS is trying to exclude. Children with only mild delays can, with Early Intervention, avoid requiring the more expensive special education services in school when they are older. Everyone wins. Despite this Gregory Bassi, acting secretary of DHS, is undeterred. At a recent state Senate budget hearing, which I attended, Bassi kept saying that the program was too expensive and seemed unable to address the long-term costs of short-term savings. He even, in a revealing moment, said that his own nephew ought to get booted from the program because the nephew's parents make too much money (a spokesperson clarified that Bassi actually has two nephews in the program, both of whom have benefited from the therapy). Respite programs, which the Rauner budget eliminates entirely, provide qualified assistance to people who care for people with disabilities. Sometimes, such a program just enables the caregiver to do errands or have some private time, essential to maintaining one's ability to function in a challenging home environment. The programs also provide emergency backup should the caregiver have a medical problem or some other issue. Like Early Intervention, the program is cost efficient. Without respite, families are more likely to disintegrate. In such cases, the person with a disability is likely to end up in a state-run facility. This is both vastly more expensive and, most importantly, generally bad for the institutionalized individual. In fact, the Rauner budget is packed with what Illinois Senate Appropriations Committee chair Heather Steans, a Democrat, called, "penny wise, pound foolish" proposals. Throughout, the governor and his administration have found ways to re-write definitions of disability in order to save money. They will likely end up paying more as a result of increased use of emergency rooms, rates of incarceration and homelessness. Violent encounters between police and people with disabilities will only become more common. People who now receive aid that allows them to live more independently will end up institutionalized or in nursing homes. Not only that, but many of these programs bring in matching funds from the federal government or other sources, and the state is surrendering those dollars as well. So why make these cuts, given their likely long-term costs? It may be that the Rauner administration just doesn't care about long-term fiscal health so long as next year's budget looks good. But I see the Rauner attacks on disability-related services as just the latest example of lawmakers trying to re-define disability in a way that saves them money. Questions about the fundamental necessity of disability benefits infuse right-wing speech on the issue. Thom Tillis, the new senator from North Carolina, was filmed in 2011 calling Republicans to "divide and conquer" by separating the sympathetic disabled -- people with conditions like Down syndrome and cerebral palsy -- from the unsympathetic (people he implies are just lazy). That's a rhetoric I see at play regularly, though most lawmakers are too smart to say it out loud. Recently, for example, Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky falsely claimed that 50% of all individuals on disability were "gaming the system." Fraud is, in fact, somewhere around 1%. While defending Paul's claim, a Fox News host told a woman that her bipolar disorder was "something made up." I don't hear that type of explicit hateful language from the Rauner administration. Everyone I've talked to is saying that they want to help the most vulnerable. They just have a big budget deficit, so they have no choice but to make these draconian cuts. But there are always choices. Rauner is just following the right-wing playbook. Rule out making up the shortfall by increasing taxes and thus raising revenue. Play different groups of needy against each other. Tell the public that only some people really deserve help. Divide and conquer. | David Perry: Governors are making the wrong choice by aiming to cut disability programs and benefits .

What are the main characteristics of a Haiku poem? | Haiku (俳句, listen (help·info)) is a type of short form poetry originally from Japan. Traditional Japanese haiku consist of three phrases composed of 17 phonetic units (called on in Japanese, which are similar to syllables) in a 5, 7, 5 pattern; that include a kireji, or "cutting word"; and a kigo, or seasonal reference. Similar poems that do not adhere to these rules are generally classified as senryū.
Haiku originated as an opening part of a larger Japanese poem called renga. These haiku written as an opening stanza were known as hokku and over time they began to be written as stand-alone poems. Haiku was given its current name by the Japanese writer Masaoka Shiki at the end of the 19th century.
Originally from Japan, haiku today are written by authors worldwide. Haiku in English and haiku in other languages have different styles and traditions while still incorporating aspects of the traditional haiku form. Non-Japanese haiku vary widely on how closely they follow traditional elements. Additionally, a minority movement within modern Japanese haiku (現代俳句, gendai-haiku), supported by Ogiwara Seisensui and his disciples, has varied from the tradition of 17 on as well as taking nature as their subject.
In Japanese, haiku are traditionally printed as a single line, while haiku in English often appear as three lines, although variations exist. There are several other forms of Japanese poetry related to haiku, such as tanka, as well as other art forms that incorporate haiku, such as haibun and haiga. | Haiku is a form of poetry which is composed of 17 syllables arranged in a 5 - 7 - 5 pattern.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Lance Bombardier Aydn Walster, 22, impersonated a police officer by pulling motorists over using flashing lights he bought on eBay . A soldier impersonated a police officer by using flashing lights he bought on eBay to pull motorists over and tell them their driving 'was not up to standard'. Lance Bombardier Aydn Walster, 22, pulled over unsuspecting drivers he thought were driving poorly before taking down their personal details in a notebook. The soldier even asked drivers to get back into the back of his Saab 9-3 saloon car to give them a telling off. Walster appeared at Lincoln Magistrates' Court yesterday where his defence solicitor admitted the serviceman had been a 'bloody fool'. He pleaded guilty to three counts of impersonating a police officer and two charges of using a car fitted with a blue flashing warning light. Walster, from Lincoln, was fined £835, ordered to pay costs of £85, and a victim surcharge of £84. The soldier, who has served in Afghanistan, now faces being kicked out of the Army as a result of his criminal conviction. The court heard Walster bought the blue flashing lights on eBay before putting them on the dashboard of his car and pulling over fellow soldiers at his barracks as a prank. But he then took the joke 'too far' by going on to public roads in Lincoln and stopping three members of the public between November last year and January. The soldier pulled over motorists who he thought were driving poorly before telling them they had been breaking the speed limit. Walster was caught when on January 22 he pulled over a car at Lindis Retail Park before taking their personal details. But a friend driving behind became suspicious and reported the incident to the police. Prosecutor Iola Harris said: 'On each occasion, it seems to be that he believed the manner of driving was not up to standard.' Walster pulled a motorist over using the flashing blue light as they passed by Lindis Retail Park (pictured) in Lincoln . Ms Harris added: 'A motorist was followed on Tritton Road by a car with a flashing blue light. The defendant asked him to sit in the back of his car and he was asked questions. 'As a result of the investigation, the defendant was arrested and in his vehicle was a notebook containing personal details. 'He accepted that book belonged to him and he did take names and addresses of members of the public.' While being interviewed by police, Walster admitted he had impersonated a police officer on another occasion. His defence lawyer told the court that being arrested had been more terrifying for Walster than his tour of Afghanistan. Dave Clapham, defending, said: 'In essence, what he says is that the lights were bought off eBay and used to stop his mates on the barracks as a joke. 'For whatever reason this continued into the public arena. He does not know why. He just says he has been a bloody fool and completely stupid. The soldier even asked drivers to get back into the back of his car to give them a telling off, Lincoln Magistrates' Court (pictured) heard . 'He tells me the process of being arrested was more terrifying than his tour of Afghanistan. 'The consequences of your sentence have ramifications that could go far higher. Not only could he be overlooked for promotions bonuses, he could face a reduction in rank - ultimately it could lead to his discharge. He is a good soldier.' After the case, PC Robert McGhee, from Lincolnshire Police, said: 'Offences of this type are really very serious. 'Police officers are trained to the highest of standards and the job they carry out every day requires not only application of that training but a thorough knowledge of the law, as well as practice and procedure. Impersonating an officer carries hefty penalties for good reason. 'We are pleased with the outcome of the court case as it is a fitting sentence. We hope this serves as a stark warning to not only the gentleman involved but also to others that police and the courts take a very dim view of anyone acting in this fashion.' An Army spokesperson said: 'All those who are found to fall short of the Army's high standards are dealt with as appropriate through the discipline process, up to and including discharge.' | Lance Bombardier Aydn Walster admitted impersonating a police officer .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Brazilian police worked for five months to track down a fugitive American pastor accused of dozens of sexual assaults in Minnesota. Victor Arden Barnard, 53, was arrested Friday at a home in a gated community, said the Public Security Secretariat of Rio Grande do Norte state. A 33-year-old woman was detained, police said. Both were transported to a federal jail in Lagoa Nova in Natal, awaiting extradition to the United States, authorities said. Barnard is suspected of 59 counts of sexual assault in Minnesota. He is accused of sexually abusing two young girls who were members of his church, the U.S. Marshals Service said. The last U.S. sighting of Barnard was last year in Raymond, Washington. The fugitive was featured on CNN's "The Hunt With John Walsh" last year and again last week. Barnard was featured on the U.S. Marshal's 15 Most Wanted List along with a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. In addition to the sexual assault allegations, he was also wanted for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. As a pastor, Barnard inspired his congregants with his charisma and apparent devotion to the teachings of Jesus Christ. "I had never met anybody that I thought loved the word of God as much as Victor Barnard did," said Ruth Johnson, a former member of Barnard's River Road Fellowship. Barnard set up a so-called "shepherd's camp" in the mid-1990s in Pine County. Several congregants moved to the rural area about 100 miles north of Minneapolis to be a part of the camp. In June 2000, the pastor allegedly convinced some members of his congregation to hand over their firstborn daughters to live with him in a secluded campsite. Lindsay Tornambe's name was called, and her parents allowed their 13-year-old daughter to join the group of girls at the camp, called "The Maidens," under Barnard's supervision. She and other congregants said the girls got up early, sewed, cooked and cleaned. "Everything that a wife would do, they did for him," Johnson said. Barnard proclaimed he was Christ on Earth. "He taught that in the Bible, the church was the bride of Christ and because he was Christ in the flesh, the church was supposed to be married to him," Tornambe said. "At that time, I didn't really understand the fullness of what it meant." The complaint filed in Minnesota says Tornambe alleges she was sexually abused by Barnard from the ages of 13 to 22 while she and her parents were members of River Road Fellowship. She told investigators the group of 10 young girls and women were known as Alamoths, or maidens. Her group was sent to what she thought was a summer camp, the document says. Tornambe told investigators Barnard sexually assaulted her one to three times a month until she left in 2010 to be with her parents, who had moved to Pennsylvania. In fall 2011, Tornambe was contacted by another former maiden who shared a similar story: She said she was molested by Barnard from the time she was 12 until she was 20, although she said the number of sexual acts varied each month. Tornambe and the other woman went to the police in Minnesota. Barnard had moved to Washington state after an admission to affairs with married women caused the religious group to split, the complaint says. The ministry operated in a secluded area of Pine County from about 2000 until 2011 or 2012, Chief Deputy Steven Blackwell of the county sheriff's office told CNN last year. The fellowship left the property shortly after a new sheriff was elected and began investigating the ministry, Blackwell said. Afterward, The Salvation Army started running a family camp there.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)On October 24, 1944, U.S. warplanes swarmed at the Leviathan of battleships, Japan's Musashi, splashing down torpedoes or dive bombing it. It took them four hours and more than 25 direct hits to put one of the two largest war ships in World War II to the bottom of the Philippines' Sibuyan Sea. This month, Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen and a team of researchers found a sprawling undersea wreck after an eight-year search for the Musashi. Japanese maritime expert Kazushige Todaka is 90% sure they found the right ship after the first images were published earlier in March. And that's a breakthrough. "I have heard countless stories in the past that the ship was discovered, but they all turned out not to be true," Todaka said. Unfortunately, Japanese war ships did not bear their names on their sides, so a full identification takes a while. But the wreckage matched the ship's description, and it had a mount for the Imperial Japanese Navy seal, a chrysanthemum which was made out of teak and rotted away in the ship's 70 years in the sea. On Thursday, Paul Allen's team treated the world to a live tour from the wreck at nearly 4,000 feet under the waves. An unmanned vehicle's spotlights lit up the pitch darkness, revealing crisp high definition images of massive rusted iron in crystal clear turquoise water. The live tour began with one of the Musashi's many death blows -- a warped bow. "What we see here is torpedo damage," said Robert Kraft, the expedition's leader. Torpedoes usually punctured the hull and exploded inside the ship, belling the metal outward. The remote operated vehicle puttered past more fatal damage, as Kraft and his team described it. A big dent pushing inward, he explained, was likely from a torpedo that barely missed the ship, exploding outside the hull, pushing it in. "It's the concussive force next to the ship," he said. The submersible showed multiple hits right under the Musashi's main gun, perhaps the most powerful naval cannon at that time. It weighed 270 tons, and gunners had to duck into a blast shelter before firing it to keep from getting killed. While in the Musashi's death throes, the gun discharged one time before everyone took cover and blew sailors off the ship's deck, Allen's researchers said. It was one of three such guns followed by rows of other guns. The Musashi was the most heavily armed ship of its time, the researchers said. But the giant had an Achilles heel. It was very vulnerable to torpedoes. The ship caught fire; it lost most of its propeller power and began to flail. U.S. warplanes went in for the kill. "No defenses would have saved her," an expedition member commented, as the submersible drifted past one gun turret or gun mount after the next. As the Musashi sank, parts of it, where air was trapped imploded. The wreck landed in pieces on the sea floor with some 1,000 crew members. About 1,300 more were rescued by other Japanese ships, including the executive officer. The camera appeared to spare viewers any skeletal remains, but among unfired shells and bent iron, small objects peered at the lens. Could the small chain have been a necklace? Pocket watch chain? Those wanting to answer those questions themselves will find the recording of the tour archived on Allen's website. Launched in 1940, the Musashi was, at the time, in the largest class of warship ever constructed, displacing more than 69,000 tons. It had a twin, the Yamato. The U.S. Navy sank the Musashi during the Battle of the Sibuyan Sea, part of the Battle of Leyte Gulf in the central Philippines. Microsoft billionaire Allen has said his long fascination with World War II history was inspired by his father's service in the U.S. Army. To finally arrive at the wreck, Kraft's team scoured historical records from four countries and undersea topographical data before sending down detection devices, such as the Bluefins that have searched for missing airliner Malaysia Airlines flight 370. Nearly a decade passed before they had the wreck in their sites. "That moment of discovery was exhilarating," Kraft said. CNN's Euan McKirdy, Jethro Mullen, Yoko Wakatsuki and Brad Lendon contributed to this report. | Japan's giant battleship Musashi was sunk off the Philippines in World War II .

Summarize why critics liked Kanye West’s album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. | Rolling Stone chief critic Rob Sheffield called My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy West's best and most wildly inspired album upon its release, asserting that no other act was recording music as dark or uncanny; he added the rapper transgresses the very conventions he had established for rap and pop music in the past five years. Steve Jones of USA Today echoed this sentiment, declaring that West "unleashes an array of sonic flavors — old school hip-hop, progressive rock, R&B, classical music — and deftly mixes and matches them", concluding his only predictability is a consistent drive to make every project his best. The Village Voice's Sean Fennessey found the album skillfully engineered and sequenced because of the way each song transitions over "like some long night out into the hazy morning after". Esteemed reviewer Robert Christgau, in MSN Music, hailed the album as a "world-beating return to form" for West. Pitchfork awarded the album a 10/10, the first perfect score the publication had given to a new release since Wilco's Yankee Hotel Foxtrot in 2002. | Several top music critical outlets including Rolling Stone, USA Today, The Village Voice, MSN music, and Pitchfork praised Kanye’s album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. One critic praised Kanye’s willingness to diverge from past albums as well as trends in rap music that Kanye himself had helped establish. Another praised Kanye’s “array of sonic flavors” with elements across multiple genres skillfully mixed and matched. Notably, Pitchfork awarded the album a perfect 10/10 rating, its first for a new release since 2002. |
Given a reference text on the beginnings of triathlon, tell me where the event was first held, in what year, and what sport was first in the sequence of the race. | The first modern swim/bike/run event was held at Mission Bay, San Diego, California on September 25, 1974. The race was conceived and directed by two members of the San Diego Track Club, Jack Johnstone and Don Shanahan. Johnstone recalls that he was a part of the 70s jogging craze in America and that after entering a few races he was not regaining his "mediocre fitness" despite having been a member of the 1957 Collegiate and AAU All-American swim teams. Then in 1973, Johnstone learned of the Dave Pain Birthday Biathlon, a 7.2 km (4.5 mi) run followed by what was billed as a quarter-mile (0.4 km) swim (the actual distance was only between 200 and 300 yards). The following year, after competing in the event for the second time and placing in the top ten, Johnstone desired more of this style of race and with equal emphasis on the swim. So he petitioned the chairman of the San Diego Track Club who told him he would add a race to the club calendar. But the rest of the race was up to Johnstone to organise, and at the same time he was to contact Don Shanahan so there wouldn't be too many "weird" races on the club schedule. Shanahan told Johnstone that he wanted to include a biking leg to the race; whilst hesitant Johnstone agreed to the addition. When naming the event the pair used the unofficially agreed naming system for multisport events, already used for pentathlon, heptathlon, and decathlon. So they used the Greek prefix tri (three) for the number of events, followed by the already familiar athlon, hence naming the event the Mission Bay Triathlon. It is worthy of note that neither founder had heard of the French events; both believed their race was a unique idea.
On Wednesday, September 25, 1974, the race started. It began with a run of a 4.8 km (3 mi) loop, followed by biking twice around Fiesta Island for a total of 8.0 km (5 mi). Entrants would then get off the bikes, take their shoes off and run into the water to swim to the mainland. That was followed by running in bare feet, then swimming again along the bay, then one last swim up to the entrance of Fiesta Island, and a final crawl up a steep dirt bank to finish. Most participants were not skilled swimmers, so Johnstone recruited his 13-year-old son to float on his surfboard and act as lifeguard. Some participants took longer than expected, and it began to get dark as they finished their swims. Shanahan recalls they pulled up a few cars and turned on the headlights so the athletes could see. Johnstone and Shanahan were surprised by the large number of entrants (46), mainly coming from local running clubs. Two notable entrants, Judy and John Collins, would four years later found the event which brought international attention to the new sport: the Hawaii Ironman. | The first triathlon occurred in San Diego, California in 1974. Unlike today's events, the triathlon began with a run. |
What are the two different continental tournaments that Roger Lemerre won ? | In September 2002, the Tunisian Football Federation announced that it was finalizing a contract with former France manager Roger Lemerre. Tunisia hosted the 2004 African Cup of Nations, winning the group. They defeated Senegal in the quarter-finals, and Nigeria in the semi-finals. Tunisia built a 1–0 lead after four minutes with Mehdi Nafti's concentration pushed by Francileudo Santos, before Morocco levelled. Tunisia restored their lead, giving them their first African Cup of Nations title. They also won the CAF's African National Team of the Year award. Lemerre became the first manager to win two different continental tournaments, having previously won Euro 2000 with France.
As a result, Tunisia qualified for the 2005 FIFA Confederations Cup in Germany, playing the hosts, Argentina and Australia. The only points they would win was a victory over Australia. Before their 2006 World Cup appearance, Lemerre took the Tunisians to a training camp in Switzerland, where they played international friendlies against Swiss clubs. Tunisia would only record one draw in Germany, against Saudi Arabia, losing against Spain and Ukraine | Roger Lemerre won the Euro 2000 with France and the African Cup of Nations 2004 with Tunisia |
What is Chianti wine? What kind of grape it is? | A Chianti wine (/kiˈænti/, also US: /-ˈɑːn-/, Italian: [ˈkjanti]) is any wine produced in the Chianti region of central Tuscany. It was historically associated with a squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket, called a fiasco ("flask"; pl. fiaschi). However, the fiasco is only used by a few makers of the wine as most Chianti is now bottled in more standard shaped wine bottles. In the mid-late 19th century, Baron Bettino Ricasoli (later Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Italy) helped establish Sangiovese as the blend's dominant grape variety, creating the blueprint for today's Chianti wines.
The first definition of a wine area called Chianti was made in 1716. It described the area near the villages of Gaiole, Castellina and Radda; the so-called Lega del Chianti and later Provincia del Chianti (Chianti province). In 1932 the Chianti area was completely redrawn and divided into seven sub-areas: Classico, Colli Aretini, Colli Fiorentini, Colline Pisane, Colli Senesi, Montalbano and Rùfina. Most of the villages that in 1932 were added to the newly defined Chianti Classico region added in Chianti to their names, for example Greve in Chianti, which amended its name in 1972. Wines labelled Chianti Classico come from the largest sub-area of Chianti, which includes the original Chianti heartland. Only Chianti from this sub-zone may display the black rooster (gallo nero) seal on the neck of the bottle, which indicates that the producer of the wine is a member of the Chianti Classico Consortium, the local association of producers. Other variants, with the exception of Rufina north-east of Florence and Montalbano south of Pistoia, originate in the named provinces: Siena for the Colli Senesi, Florence for the Colli Fiorentini, Arezzo for the Colli Aretini and Pisa for the Colline Pisane. In 1996 part of the Colli Fiorentini sub-area was renamed Montespertoli.
During the 1970s producers started to reduce the quantity of white grapes in Chianti. In 1995 it became legal to produce a Chianti with 100% Sangiovese. For a wine to retain the name of Chianti it must be produced with at least 80% Sangiovese grapes. Aged Chianti (38 months instead of 4–7) may be labelled as Riserva. Chianti that meets more stringent requirements (lower yield, higher alcohol content and dry extract) may be labelled as Chianti Superiore, although Chianti from the Classico sub-area is not allowed in any event to be labelled as Superiore. | Chianti wine is any kind of wine made in the Chianti region of Tuscany, Italy. Sangiovese is the dominant variety of the grape used in Chianti wines. To call it a Chianti wine, it must be produced with at least 80% Sangiovese grapes. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | British tennis found itself with a ready made second top 100 player on when Aljaz Bedene, the world No 83, announced that he is now a UK citizen. The 25-year-old is originally from Slovenia but since 2008 has lived in Welwyn Garden City with his girlfriend Kimalie, a pop star in her native land who is a protegee of renowned record producer Jeff Wayne. Bedene attended a citizenship ceremony in Hatfield on Tuesday and posted pictures of the occasion. He will formally receive his passport within the next two weeks and start entering tournaments as a British player. Aljaz Bedene is pictured at his British citizenship ceremony in Hatfield on Tuesday morning . Bedene poses for a picture with friends and family outside the petty sessional court building in Hatfield . Aljaz Bedene was born in the Slovenian capital of Ljublana in 1989 but has made the UK his home since 2008. The 25-year-old lives in Hertfordshire and trains at Gosling Sports Park in Welwyn Garden City with British coach James Davidson and fitness trainer Martin Skinner. Bedene's career-high ranking was No 71 in February 2013 and he reached his first ATP tour final earlier this year when he finished runner-up at the Chennai Open in January. However, whether he can play Davis Cup for GB is a different matter, as he has three times been in the Slovenian squad, albeit never having played a 'live' rubber. He is appealing a new rule banning players from representing two nations on the basis that his citizenship application was being processed at the time. 'Today is one of the most special days of my life,' said Bedene. 'This has been a long process and to gain citizenship almost seven years to the day after arriving is just overwhelming. 'This is something I have wanted since the moment I stepped foot in this beautiful country and I feel honoured to be able to compete under the Union Jack on the ATP Tour. Davis Cup is another dream and one I will have to fight for with everything I have.' Bedene is the most significant British tennis import since Greg Rusedski. A quick and agile baseliner, he has already been ranked No 71 in the world and after being held back by injuries last year ought to be heading into the top 50 before too long. He has long been managed by Stevenage-based firm Global Tennis Connections and has a British coach in James Davidson. He has actually represented Hertfordshire in the County Cup, the team being captained by tennis nut Wayne, famous for his War of the Worlds production. Bedene in action against Novak Djokovic at the Australian Open in Melbourne earlier this year . Bedene (right) with girlfriend Kimalie, who is a pop singer in her native land of Slovenia . Bedene will now slot in as British No 2 although it must be highly unlikely he could play in the Davis Cup quarter-final after Wimbledon against France, especially after James Ward's heroics against the USA in the first round. The likes of Ward, who has been a stalwart of the Davis Cup team through thick and thin, might understandably be peeved were Bedene suddenly to walk into the team. Otherwise there should not be too much friction as Bedene, who is certainly not a product of the LTA or the British game, is not competing for wildcards or funding. Andy Murray has welcomed the news of Bedene's switch and feels that he could be a useful addition to the Davis Cup team in future years. Murray told Sky Sports: 'I don't know him extremely well but I know that he's obviously playing some very good tennis right now. Bedene plays on the grass of London's Queen's Club at the 2013 Aegon Championships . The Great Britain Davis Cup team celebrate their victory against the USA in Glasgow earlier this month . 'I think maybe in the future it's possible for him to be involved in the Davis Cup team but I'm not sure exactly what the rules are. 'I know the rules change a little bit this year, that you're not allowed to play for two countries, so I'm not 100 per cent sure if he's going to be eligible. 'This year we have a team that's being doing extremely well and I would expect that this year we would stick with that team and revisit it again in the future if he becomes eligible.' British No 4 Liam Broady - who will drop to No 5 when Bedene officially starts representing Britain on the tour - was also warm in his reaction, tweeting: 'Welcome to GB mate.' | Aljaz Bedene officially became a British citizen at a ceremony on Tuesday .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)An online group claiming affiliation with Islamic State terrorists has threatened American military members and their families in the past, and over the weekend, a new threat surfaced on the Web. A group calling itself the Islamic State Hacking Division posted the names, photos and addresses of about 100 U.S. troops online, calling for attacks against them. The file, posted online Saturday before being removed, claimed to have hacked military databases and said it was leaking 100 names "so that our brothers residing in America can deal with you." The possibility of lone-wolf attacks in the United States, the type that this message calls for, is a threat officials take seriously. A U.S. law enforcement official said that all 100 or so troops named in the file are being contacted. It is believed that ISIS members and sympathizers have been scouring social media sites trying to glean as much information as possible about service members, and have even threatened the spouses of military personnel online. One military wife recalls recently staying up all night and deleting every Facebook picture of her children, every post that mentioned them or where they went to school. She Googled herself, trying to figure out how easy it would be to find where the family lived. In the morning, she went to her car and scraped the military decal off the front window. As the spouse of a Special Forces soldier, she's always tried to be conscious of how much she advertises that she and her three young children are a military family. "It's hard because I am so proud of what my husband does, but lately so many spouses that I know are actually scared that they could be targets of ISIS or someone who sympathizes with ISIS," she told CNN in January, asking that CNN keep her name out of the story for that reason. Pro-ISIS hackers have never been responsible for a major cyber breach but some experts worry their capabilities are growing. J.M. Berger, co-author of "ISIS: the State of Terror," told CNN, "There are indications some former members of Anonymous and TeaMp0isoN (another hacking group) are now hacking on behalf of ISIS." The large majority of those within such hacking collectives are thought to hold very different views. In the wake of the attack against the Charlie Hebdo satirical magazine in Paris in January, hackers affiliated with Anonymous declared online war on ISIS and al Qaeda. Regarding this weekend's threat targeting troops, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service notified the Marines named in the file, a Marine Corps spokesman said. But the spokesman told CNN that the threat has yet to be verified. The Navy reminded service members to limit the amount of personal information they share online. On Sunday, a Defense Department official told CNN that it cannot confirm the validity of the posting of troops' information, but said it is investigating. The FBI is also looking into the post, a law enforcement official told CNN, adding there are questions about the credibility of the person or persons who posted it. In January, military families were spooked by an online message on Central Command's Twitter account which was in all caps. It read: "AMERICAN SOLDIERS, WE ARE COMING. WATCH YOUR BACK. ISIS." The tweet included a link to a statement that said, in part, "We won't stop! We know everything about you, your wives and children. U.S. soldiers! We're watching you!" The Twitter hacker managed to post other threatening messages, propaganda videos and some military documents until the accounts were disabled. Central Command quickly made public assurances that it was relatively easy to hack Twitter, no serious security details were revealed and it would find who was behind the hack. Army wife Ashley Broadway-Mack said the messages just amplified the anxiety she already feels after recent terror attacks targeting military personnel, law enforcement officers and civilians. She and other family members told CNN in January that they first began to think about the possibility in May 2013 when a uniformed British soldier in London was murdered by two men who shouted "Allahu akbar," or "God is great." Others started to fear the possibility of their service members or themselves being targeted after the killing of a Canadian soldier during an October attack on the country's Parliament. Attacks and plots in Australia have them concerned, too, they said. In September, the Australian Prime Minister said a plot to kidnap a member of the public, behead the victim and then drape him or her in an ISIS flag had been thwarted. In December, a self-styled Muslim cleric held hostages in a Sydney cafe for 17 hours, a drama that ended with the deaths of two hostages. The gunman, who was known for sending hate mail to military families, was killed. The slayings in Paris, for which al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula has taken responsibility, have prompted Broadway-Mack to think about security at North Carolina's Fort Bragg. "Before the incident in Canada, I honestly didn't think ISIS was a threat to our family or other military families," she said in January. "I worry about the hundreds, thousands of folks going to and from work in uniform. They, too, could be targets. I think of other areas around the country where there's a large military presence -- an attack, ambush, lone terrorist is something I fear. "I hate to say it, but I honestly no longer think if, but when and where," she said. "I think it's only a matter of time." In late November, the FBI issued a warning to U.S. military members that ISIS was calling for attacks against them, a law enforcement source told CNN. The source said that "overseas based individuals are looking for like-minded individuals in the U.S. to carry out these attacks." The warning asked members of the military to "review their online social media presence for any information that might attract the attention of violent extremists." The bulletin also said authorities were concerned that ISIS members were "spotting and assessing" individuals in the United States who may be interested in carrying out attacks inside the country against members of the military, a U.S. counterterror official told CNN. Lori Volkman, who is married to a commanding officer, told CNN in January that she she knows military members and spouses who have stopped openly carrying their uniforms to their car after a visit to the dry cleaners. Some have stopped wearing clothing with military insignia and are more careful when they open their wallet to avoid showing military IDs or payment cards. The small, simple changes don't mean military family members are running scared, Volkman said. But it was difficult when her young daughter was watching television and saw the news about the Centcom hack and the threat that ISIS was coming for soldiers. "She turned and looked at me and you could see it registering -- we're soldiers. She had a very worried look," Volkman said. "But kids are comforted by whatever their parents tell them. We can't live our lives in fear and we try to reassure them." A blogger and communications firm CEO, Volkman wondered how she would even begin to scrub her online presence. Angela McCormick Ricketts also said in January that she's thrown her hands up about the matter of online privacy. Her memoir, "No Man's War" is a critical success. She's done a lot of press and is omnipresent online. "I'm probably screwed if ISIS starts targeting yappy military spouses, so it's too late now! There's also a part of me that thinks that's what they want -- to make us always looking over our shoulders. So no. No to all of it," she said. It's a matter of principle, she and others said. Why should families bend to fear and stop sharing online when social media has helped many of them get through 14 years of nonstop war? Though the military has at times struggled with how much freedom its members should have on social media, relatives have wholeheartedly embraced it. Military families appear to use social media at higher rates than civilians, according to data from the Pew Research Center. Social media as we now know it wasn't even around when the Afghanistan war began. Facebook launched in 2004, almost exactly a year after the United States invaded Iraq. Now, dozens of military spouses have blogs and Facebook caters to the community. A 2014 survey by military advocacy group Blue Star Families found that 75% of 6,200 respondents considered the use of social media to be very important. CNN's Paul Cruickshank, Mariano Castillo, Barbara Starr, Kevin Bohn, Mary Kay Mallonee, Pamela Brown and Jim Sciutto contributed to this report. | Group called Islamic State Hacking Division threatened U.S. troops .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Legendary fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are in a public spat with pop music icon Elton John over some eyebrow-raising comments the pair made about gay parenting. Long against same-sex marriage, the Italian designers -- who are not only openly gay, but were once a couple -- took their counterintuitive rhetoric to the next level this weekend when Dolce said in an interview: . "You are born to a mother and a father -- or at least that's how it should be. I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalog." John, who along with his husband David Furnish is raising two children that were conceived through IVF, took to Twitter to essentially say "Oh no he didn't," followed by "#BoycottDolceGabbana" because nothing expresses anger quite like a hashtag. Not to be outdone, the pair responded with #BoycottEltonJohn. So what should we make of all this boycott talk? Combined, the three men are worth an estimated $3 billion. The openly gay Ricky Martin, who is raising two boys via a surrogate mother, sided with John (but he's only worth an estimated $60 million, so I'm not sure if anyone noticed). Regardless, while I find the archaic thinking of Dolce and Gabbana disappointing, the truth is my budget boycotted their clothing years ago. Some of it's really nice. But I just can't afford to spend $500 on a T-shirt. And even if I could, I don't know how I would justify doing so with a kid to put through college. That's why I find this whole ultra rich on ultra rich violence so disconnected from the reality most of us on Twitter are living. Boycott? Besides the 1%, who the hell is buying Dolce and Gabbana regularly enough to actually call the act of not buying their clothing a "boycott"? That's a little like me saying I'm upset with the way James Dolan is running the New York Knicks so I refuse to play for him. Even misguided consumers wallowing in debt and living way above their means likely do not have enough credit cards to keep up with the purchasing power of the Elton Johns of this world. (No lie -- the online store has a pair of "Polka Dot Print Slim Fit Denim Jeans" for $795. And you still have to pay for shipping. And there's also a cotton vest on sale for $795. A COTTON VEST!!) Here's an idea: Considering it can cost about $20,000 for each attempt at IVF, and the procedure has roughly a 40% success rate, I would say the vast majority of people who were the direct targets of Dolce's words are not using their expendable cash to buy their clothing anyway. If John, Martin, Courtney Love and other ultra-rich celebrities really want to leverage their celebrity to ignite a movement we can buy into (pun intended) take that would-be Dolce and Gabanna money and start an endowment for those who can't afford IVF treatments. Or consider "Modern Family's" Jesse Tyler Ferguson, who tweeted he wanted to unload his Dolce and Gabanna suits in a way that would help those who can't afford the IVF treatments. Retweeting a hashtag is a great way to publicly shame. But crowdsourcing among the 1% could make a difference in the lives of people who so desperately want to be parents that they mortgage their homes trying. It also creates a medium in which us regular folks can legitimately express our disappointment in the designers' words and not take the convenient route via blogs and hashtag activism. And yes, I realize I'm criticizing myself as well. But I have some self-awareness. When you tweet "Je Suis D&G" -- thus comparing your PR nightmare to the one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in recent Europe history -- you don't. | Elton John called for D&G boycott over IVF remarks .

What is Your Lie in April about? | Fourteen-year-old piano prodigy, Kōsei Arima, becomes famous after winning several music competitions. When his mother Saki dies, Kōsei has a mental breakdown while performing at a piano recital; this results in him becoming unable to hear the sound of his piano, even though his hearing is otherwise unaffected.
Two years later, Kōsei has not touched the piano and views the world in monochrome. He does not focus on excelling in any activities and often spends time with his friends Tsubaki Sawabe and Ryōta Watari. Kōsei meets Kaori Miyazono, an audacious, free-spirited, fourteen-year-old violinist whose playing style reflects her manic personality. Kaori helps Kōsei return to playing the piano, and shows him his playing style can be free and groundbreaking. As Kaori continues to uplift Kōsei's spirits, he quickly realizes he loves her, although she seems to only be interested in Ryōta.
During a performance, Kaori, who later explains that she is anemic and needs routine testing, collapses and is hospitalized. She is later diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia. She invites Kōsei to play with her at a gala but she does not arrive. Her health deteriorates and she becomes dejected. Kōsei plays a duet with a friend, which motivates Kaori to attempt a risky and potentially deadly surgery so she may possibly play with Kosei once more. While playing in the finals of the Eastern Japan Piano Competition, Kōsei sees Kaori's spirit accompanying him and realizes she has died during the surgery.
At her funeral, Kaori's parents give Kōsei a letter from Kaori that reveals she was aware of her impending death and became more free-spirited, both as a person and in her music, so she would not take her regrets to Heaven. She confesses she had been in love with Kōsei's piano playing since watching him perform at a concert when she was five. This inspired her to play the violin so she could play with him one day. Kaori fabricated her feelings towards Ryōta so she could get closer to Kōsei without hurting Tsubaki, who harbored affection for Kōsei. She then confesses her love for him. Tsubaki comforts Kōsei and tells him she will be by his side. Kaori also leaves behind a picture of herself as a child, coming back from the concert that inspired her, with Kōsei in the background. Kōsei later frames this picture. | Your Lie in April is a manga and an anime about friendship through music. The protagonist Kosei Arima is a very talented piano prodigy who goes through a mental breakdown from the pressure of performing and becomes deaf to the sound of his own piano. The world becomes monotonous and depressing until he meets Kaori Miyazono, a free-spirited violinist who reminds him of how to play music freely again. However, Kaori suffers from anemia and often has to go to the hospital. Despite this, the two often play together and Kosei falls in love. Kaori passes away soon after and leaves a letter for Kosei explaining how she loved him back and his piano playing. Kosei uses this as inspiration to get back into music and play freely once more. |
From this passage, extract the names of the three Amtrak California routes and separate them with commas. | Amtrak California utilizes a livery and logo that is different from the standard Amtrak colors. All state-contracted Thruway Motorcoach and state-owned locomotives and passenger cars, with the exception of equipment used on the "Pacific Surfliner" route, are painted in the "California Colors" of blue and yellow. Each permanently assigned passenger car is named after a geographical feature of California.
The "Capitol Corridor" and "San Joaquin" trains are the two routes most identified with the Amtrak California image, since they extensively use "California Colored" equipment. The other state-supported rail route, the "Pacific Surfliner", uses a unique blue and silver paint scheme that is different from the other Amtrak California-branded trains.
The NPCUs that operate on the Capitol Corridor and San Joaquin are painted differently from the locomotives, as they are painted in the old "Caltrain" locomotive livery, with an Amtrak California and Caltrans logo on the sides. The single level cars, both the Comet cars and the Horizon dinettes, have three stripes closest to the boarding doors, orange, blue and green, which resemble the NJ Transit livery that was previously used on the Comet cars.

Find the price of Osborne 1 from this passage. | The Osborne effect is a social phenomenon of customers canceling or deferring orders for the current, soon-to-be-obsolete product as an unexpected drawback of a company's announcing a future product prematurely. It is an example of cannibalization.
The term alludes to the Osborne Computer Corporation, whose second product did not become available until more than a year after it was announced. The company's subsequent bankruptcy was widely blamed on reduced sales after the announcement.
The Osborne Effect states that prematurely discussing future, unavailable products damages sales of existing products. The name comes from the planned replacement of the Osborne 1, an early personal computer first sold by the Osborne Computer Corporation in 1981. In 1983, founder Adam Osborne pre-announced several next-generation computer models (the Osborne Executive and Osborne Vixen), which were only prototypes, highlighting the fact that they would outperform the existing model as the prototypes dramatically cut down assembly time. A widely held belief was that sales of the Osborne 1 fell sharply as customers anticipated those more advanced systems, leading to a sales decline from which Osborne Computer was unable to recover. This belief appeared in the media almost immediately after the company's September 1983 bankruptcy:
To give the jazzy $2,495 Osborne Executive a running start, Adam began orchestrating publicity early in 1983. We, along with many other magazines, were shown the machine in locked hotel rooms. We were required not to have anything in print about it until the planned release date in mid-April. As far as we know, nothing did appear in print, but dealers heard about the plans and cancelled orders for the Osborne 1 in droves. In early April, Osborne told dealers he would be showing them the machine on a one-week tour the week of 17 April, and emphasized that the new machine was not a competitor for the Osborne 1. But dealers didn't react the way Osborne expected; said Osborne, "All of them just cancelled their orders for the Osborne 1."
Osborne reacted by drastically cutting prices on the Osborne 1 in an effort to stimulate cash flow. But nothing seemed to work, and for several months sales were practically non-existent.
Pre-announcement is done for several reasons: to reassure current customers that there is improvement or lower cost coming, to increase the interest of the media and investors in the company's future prospects, and to intimidate or confuse competitors. When done correctly, the sales or cash flow impact to the company is minimal, with the revenue drop for the current product being offset by orders or completed sales of the new product as it becomes available. However, when the Osborne effect occurs, the quantity of unsold goods increases and the company must react by discounting and/or lowering production of the current product, both of which depress cash flow. | The price of Osborne 1 is not mentioned in the passage. However, the price of its successor model Osborne Executive was $2,495. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The number of UK-bound African and Asian migrants in Calais has dropped by two thirds this winter as unprecedented numbers have succeeded in dodging border police and sneaking into Britain. On one day alone, Saturday January 17, 300 managed to gain entrance to the Channel Tunnel when chaos ensued after a truck caught fire, it emerged at the weekend. Hundreds more have succeeded in stowing away on trucks which board ferries linking Calais to the Kent coast. Many more opt for soft touch French Channel ports like Ouistreham and Cherbourg where border controls are less stringent. Waiting: Less than 1000 Africans and Asians are now estimated to be sleeping rough in squats and at three open air camps close to the ferry terminal at Calais . The homeless migrants pay Albanian people-smugglers hundreds of pounds to be ferried south of Calais and loaded into lorries at motorway rest areas . Scores of migrants gained access to the ferry terminal in large numbers this winter when a winter storm blew down security fences and hundreds invaded truck car parks. Less than 1000 Africans and Asians are now estimated to be sleeping rough in squats and at three open air camps including the notorious 'Jungle 2' close to the ferry terminal. At the beginning of the year when a day centre opened on the outskirts of the port and began serving food to refugees, numbers were estimated at around 2,500. Local newspaper Nord Littoral reported at the weekend that 'It is difficult to estimate the number of migrants present in Calais but one thing is certain : it has decreased significantly'. The newspaper quoted a spokesperson for a charity organisation as saying : 'We think there are about one thousand, maybe even fewer.' Hiding: Hundreds of migrants have stowed away on trucks boarding ferries linking Calais to the Kent coast . Camp: The homeless migrants in Calais pay Albanian people-smugglers hundreds of pounds to be ferried south of Calais and loaded into lorries at motorway rest areas . Pessimists at Calais predict that numbers of UK bound refugees will increase again to 300 plus during the spring and summer as new arrivals from Libya fleeing persecution by Islamic extremists start arriving . Numbers increased dramatically last summer as waves of Eritreans and Ethiopians hit the French Channel coast and set their sights on the UK. There were violent scenes as knife- wielding Sudanese nationals clashed with Eritreans over territorial disputes . Nord Littoral points to two main causes for the exodus . One is that 'more men and women are getting through' to the UK. The other is that migrants disheartened by months of living in cold and squalid tents have opted to apply for asylum and have been transferred to state run hostels as far afield as Burgundy, hundreds of miles south of Calais. A spokesman for the French Immigration department said, ' Since September 2014 more than 400 registered as applying for asylum and 45 percent of those have been given protection'. Making a dash: Scores of migrants gained access to the ferry terminal in large numbers this winter when a winter storm blew down security fences and hundreds invaded truck car parks . At the beginning of the year when a day centre opened on the outskirts of Calais, numbers were estimated at around 2,500. There are now said to be fewer than 1,000 people living there . At the beginning of February 60 Africans were ferried southwards from Calais and put up in a former Gendarmerie at the town of Pouilly en Auxois in Burgundy south east of Paris. Pouilly is just one of dozens of villages all over France which have been designated to accommodate asylum seekers whilst their applications are being processed . Residents of the small village have protested to local mayor Bernard Milloir at the influx of Sudanese, Eritreans and Ethiopians. Monsieur Milloir called the complains 'nauseating'. Calais mayor Natacha Bouchart welcomed the decrease in migrants numbers at the port attributing the rise in numbers seeking French asylum to the opening of the day centre and installation of CCTV cameras. In January she called on aid groups to evacuate the filthy Jungle 2 squat and move migrants to a municipal camp nearby. Last year Madame Bouchart threatened to open a floodgate of migrants to swamp Britain and called for the UK border to be moved back to Dover to ease congestion at her port. Work is currently in progress at the Jules Ferry day centre to prepare overnight accommodation for women and children only due to be available at the end of the month. | Number of migrants reaching Britain from France has soared this winter .

Who was injured or killed and in what ways in the accidents? | 1947: Two plane crashes in a 24-hour period, one with fatalities. Two people were killed as the result of a mid-air collision between two planes over the airfield. The accident occurred when William Gleason Sauerwein of Falls Church took off from the field in an Aeronca Champion at the same time that F.H. Kirchman, 48, of Vienna, Virginia, was attempting to land while flying a Stinson 105. Both Kirchman and his passenger, Agnes Louise Brady, 47, of Arlington, Virginia, were killed in the accident. Sauerwein was taken to Arlington County hospital with head injuries and a broken leg. Witnesses said that the accident occurred at 7pm when the Stinson cut into the tail of the Aeronca while the planes were approximately 75 feet off the ground. The next day, a second crash occurred when a Funk cabin airplane lost power shortly after takeoff. The pilot, Margaret Vaughn, of Washington, D.C., suffered severe head and leg injuries when the plane crashed into a wooded area about two miles west of the airport, near Gallows Road in Fairfax County. Vaughn was an experienced pilot and was a Link trainer instructor for the Civil Aeronautics Authority. The next day, the Civil Aeronautics Board announced they were conducting a "full inquiry" into the cause of the two crashes. The investigators were specifically concerned with the quality of the gasoline being dispensed at the airport and took samples from Vaughn's aircraft at the scene of the crash. | F.H. Kirchman and his passenger Agnes Louise Brady was also killed. William Gleason Sauerwein had a broken leg and head injuries. Margaret Vaughn had severe head and leg injuries. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Don't skimp on proteins, try swapping quinoa for rice and gulp down fermented milk, kefir. These are just some of the foods and drinks you need to be incorporating into your post-exercise diet. And try to eat within an hour of finishing your workout as that's when your body needs it most as it starts to burn food as well as recover. What you eat after a workout can increase the benefits of exercise . 'What you eat post workout is extremely important. The aim of a healthy post workout snack/meal is to improve recovery, reduce muscle soreness, increase the ability to build muscle and to help with your immune system,' said Shona Wilkinson, head nutritionist at NutriCentre. 'It is best to eat your food within one hour after you finish your exercise. Waiting too long will mean that you don't refill your glycogen stores and wont recover fully,' she continued. According to Ms Wilkinson, the perfect post workout snack or meal consists of both carbs and protein. Good examples include wholewheat muffins with nut butter, scrambled eggs on whole wheat toast and chicken breast with brown rice or quinoa. Try swapping quinoa (left) for rice when cooking a post-gym meal. Hummus and pita (right) are good snacks as they contain carbohydrates and protein . A good source of protein and fibre, quinoa gets the thumbs of from Ms Wilkinson. 'This is a great food to have after a workout to ensure you are getting a good intake of nutrients,' she explained. The nutrionist also explained what kefir is, and why it's good for you. 'Kefir results when milk is combined with bacteria and allowed to ferment,' she said. 'It is high in protein and will help with the recovery of your muscles.' Wholewheat pitta and hummus can provide much needed carbs and protein whilst pineapple, rich in an enzyme called bromelain, is useful for preventing injuries. You can still indulge in a plate of fish and chips; just make sure that you have oily fish instead of cod or hake . Steak contains zinc which is critical to prostate health and fertility, and iron which is a key component of oxygen delivery within your cells . Starchy vegetables such as sweet potato can be eaten hot or cold green vegetables such as broccoli, kale and beans help alkalise the body. And while fried fish and chips may not necessarily sound healthy, swapping oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, sardines or anchovies for cod and hake, will improve body fat burning. Finally steak, which contains zinc as well as protein, helps deliver oxygen to cells. Here FEMAIL has identified the foods you need to incorporate into your diet to ensure your body recovers well from a workout. Quinoa . Quiona is a great alternative to rice. I often recommend it as it is a good source of protein and fibre. This is a great food to have after a workout to ensure you are getting a good intake of nutrients,' Ms Wilkinson said. Kefir . 'It is becoming increasingly popular due to its probiotic content which can help with digestive health,' said Ms Wilkinson. 'It is also high in protein. You can drink a cup of kefir after a workout for a healthy way to get a good healthy intake of protein to help with the repair and recovery of your muscles.' Pita and hummus . 'Pitta and hummus is a great combination for a post workout snack,' the nutrionist advised. 'Go for wholewheat pita rather than white pita. Hummus is a good source of protein and carbs. The wholewheat pita is a good source of slow releasing carbs to keep your energy levels up. Sweet potato (left) is a nutritionally dense carb whilst green vegetables (right) will help prevent fatigue . Fermented milk kefir is high in protein and will help with muscle recovery . Pineapple . Pineapple contains an enzyme called bromelain. Bromelain helps with digesting protein and is a helpful anti-inflammatory which is useful for preventing injuries. Pineapple also contains fibre, vitamin B6, manganese and is a great source of Vitamin C. Steak is high in protein, which is excellent for muscle recovery and also in iron stores which helps reduce fatigue. It's an ideal meat for athletes to consume during their training programme. Sweet potato is an excellent carbohydrate source so it contributes to the recovery of normal muscle function after hard training. The green veg provides vitamins A and C which support the immune system to function normally, which is hampered with hard training. Sweet potato . Try a starchy vegetable such as sweet potato for a nutritionally dense carbohydrate snack after your workout. Sweet potato is just as delicious whether eaten hot or cold. Fish and chips . Opt for a healthy version of fish and chips. Go for an oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, sardines or anchovies. These fish contain plenty of Omega-3 fatty acids to improve body fat burning as well as a good source of protein to help rebuild muscle. Steak . A a great source of protein. It also contains zinc which is critical to prostate health and fertility, iron which is a key component of oxygen delivery within your cells and selenium which gives your immune system a boost. Green vegetables . Green vegetables are anti-inflammatory and also help alkalise the body. This will help towards preventing muscle pain, fatigue and injury. The perfect meal for athletes is an 8oz New York sirloin strip steak served with sweet potato mash, kale, samphire, mangetout and broccoli . Earlier this year London chef and former Olympian Francis Agyepong at Christopher's restaurant in Covent Garden served the perfect meal for athletes to to Olympic gold medallist Christine Ohuruogu and world junior champion Dina Asher-Smith. Comprising an 8oz New York sirloin strip steak served with sweet potato mash, kale, samphire, mange tout and broccoli, the hearty offering has all right balance of protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals. Mr Agu said: 'This is the perfect meal for an athlete, with the right balance of protein, carbohydrate, vitamins and minerals. 'Steak is high in protein, which is excellent for muscle recovery and also in iron stores which helps reduce fatigue. It's an ideal meat for athletes to consume during their training programme.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)A Delta airplane had a close call Thursday, skidding off a snowy runway and stopping within feet of icy waters. Any accident raises questions, and the National Transportation Safety Board is sending people to New York's LaGuardia Airport to investigate. Although the cause of the crash is not yet clear, officials will no doubt be looking at the conditions on the runway. Was it cleared and ready? Did the pilot have all relevant information? CNN aviation analyst Mary Schiavo breaks down the responsibilities around runways. "There are a couple of things that airports have to do," she said. "The airport has to go out and measure whether the airport runways have friction, meaning when those tires touch down that they will have some contact with the runway." That information is then relayed to the air traffic control tower, according to Schiavo. "As to whether the runways are slippery, that is breaking action, and the airport gets that from the reports of previous pilots," she said. Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Executive Director Patrick Foye told reporters that the runway in question had been plowed shortly before the incident. Pilots on previous planes reported "good braking action," he said. Just minutes after the Delta plane landed, all of LaGuardia Arport shut down to air traffic. One runway reopened at 2 p.m. ET. The other remained closed. Miles O'Brien, another CNN aviation analyst, highlights how difficult it is to understand all the elements in play. "The wind was changing. The temperatures were changing. It was moving from rain to freezing rain, ultimately into snow. So you had a very dynamic weather picture, and let's not forget, it's kind of a subjective thing," he said. "One pilot might say, 'oh that was no problem,' but he might have learned how to fly in northern Canada." | Port Authority chief: Runway was just plowed, other pilots reported "good braking action" The NTSB is sending people to New York's LaGuardia Airport to investigate . |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A passionate tree surgeon created a video to show what his unique, dangerous and perhaps misunderstood job entails. Capturing footage of himself on a GoPro camera, Cezary Romanowski documented his experiences over a period of several months. The video begins with Cezary, a tree surgeon from Poland, sharpening the teeth of his chainsaw and filling it up with fuel while in a snowy woodland. Suitably prepared, Cezary ties himself to a tree and makes his way up it using spikes – also known as gaffs or spurs – attached to his chainsaw boots. What follows is a fast-paced montage sequence showing Cezary dispatching trees of all shapes and sizes.

What did Michael Faraday and Georg Ohm do? | Long before any knowledge of electricity existed, people were aware of shocks from electric fish. Ancient Egyptian texts dating from 2750 BCE referred to these fish as the "Thunderer of the Nile", and described them as the "protectors" of all other fish. Electric fish were again reported millennia later by ancient Greek, Roman and Arabic naturalists and physicians. Several ancient writers, such as Pliny the Elder and Scribonius Largus, attested to the numbing effect of electric shocks delivered by electric catfish and electric rays, and knew that such shocks could travel along conducting objects. Patients with ailments such as gout or headache were directed to touch electric fish in the hope that the powerful jolt might cure them.
Ancient cultures around the Mediterranean knew that certain objects, such as rods of amber, could be rubbed with cat's fur to attract light objects like feathers. Thales of Miletus made a series of observations on static electricity around 600 BCE, from which he believed that friction rendered amber magnetic, in contrast to minerals such as magnetite, which needed no rubbing.
Thales was incorrect in believing the attraction was due to a magnetic effect, but later science would prove a link between magnetism and electricity. According to a controversial theory, the Parthians may have had knowledge of electroplating, based on the 1936 discovery of the Baghdad Battery, which resembles a galvanic cell, though it is uncertain whether the artifact was electrical in nature.
Electricity would remain little more than an intellectual curiosity for millennia until 1600, when the English scientist William Gilbert wrote De Magnete, in which he made a careful study of electricity and magnetism, distinguishing the lodestone effect from static electricity produced by rubbing amber. He coined the New Latin word electricus ("of amber" or "like amber",, elektron, the Greek word for "amber") to refer to the property of attracting small objects after being rubbed. This association gave rise to the English words "electric" and "electricity", which made their first appearance in print in Thomas Browne's Pseudodoxia Epidemica of 1646.
Further work was conducted in the 17th and early 18th centuries by Otto von Guericke, Robert Boyle, Stephen Gray and C. F. du Fay. Later in the 18th century, Benjamin Franklin conducted extensive research in electricity, selling his possessions to fund his work. In June 1752 he is reputed to have attached a metal key to the bottom of a dampened kite string and flown the kite in a storm-threatened sky. A succession of sparks jumping from the key to the back of his hand showed that lightning was indeed electrical in nature. He also explained the apparently paradoxical behavior of the Leyden jar as a device for storing large amounts of electrical charge in terms of electricity consisting of both positive and negative charges
In 1775, Hugh Williamson reported a series of experiments to the Royal Society on the shocks delivered by the electric eel; that same year the surgeon and anatomist John Hunter described the structure of the fish's electric organs. In 1791, Luigi Galvani published his discovery of bioelectromagnetics, demonstrating that electricity was the medium by which neurons passed signals to the muscles. Alessandro Volta's battery, or voltaic pile, of 1800, made from alternating layers of zinc and copper, provided scientists with a more reliable source of electrical energy than the electrostatic machines previously used. The recognition of electromagnetism, the unity of electric and magnetic phenomena, is due to Hans Christian Ørsted and André-Marie Ampère in 1819–1820. Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, and Georg Ohm mathematically analysed the electrical circuit in 1827. Electricity and magnetism (and light) were definitively linked by James Clerk Maxwell, in particular in his "On Physical Lines of Force" in 1861 and 1862.
While the early 19th century had seen rapid progress in electrical science, the late 19th century would see the greatest progress in electrical engineering. Through such people as Alexander Graham Bell, Ottó Bláthy, Thomas Edison, Galileo Ferraris, Oliver Heaviside, Ányos Jedlik, William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, Charles Algernon Parsons, Werner von Siemens, Joseph Swan, Reginald Fessenden, Nikola Tesla and George Westinghouse, electricity turned from a scientific curiosity into an essential tool for modern life.
In 1887, Heinrich Hertz discovered that electrodes illuminated with ultraviolet light create electric sparks more easily. In 1905, Albert Einstein published a paper that explained experimental data from the photoelectric effect as being the result of light energy being carried in discrete quantized packets, energising electrons. This discovery led to the quantum revolution. Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for "his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect". The photoelectric effect is also employed in photocells such as can be found in solar panels.
The first solid-state device was the "cat's-whisker detector" first used in the 1900s in radio receivers. A whisker-like wire is placed lightly in contact with a solid crystal (such as a germanium crystal) to detect a radio signal by the contact junction effect. In a solid-state component, the current is confined to solid elements and compounds engineered specifically to switch and amplify it. Current flow can be understood in two forms: as negatively charged electrons, and as positively charged electron deficiencies called holes. These charges and holes are understood in terms of quantum physics. The building material is most often a crystalline semiconductor.
Solid-state electronics came into its own with the emergence of transistor technology. The first working transistor, a germanium-based point-contact transistor, was invented by John Bardeen and Walter Houser Brattain at Bell Labs in 1947, followed by the bipolar junction transistor in 1948. | Michael Faraday invented the electric motor in 1821, and Georg Ohm mathematically analysed the electrical circuit in 1827. |

Although it was supposed to have been unveiled in a press preview day with about 14,000 invitees on Sunday, July 17, 1955, that opening saw 28,000 people go through the gates due to thousands of counterfeit ticket sales.

This is the seventh fatal shooting in the area since Michael Brown was gunned down by Ferguson cop Darren Wilson sparking national unrest, reports The St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Police say the shooting happened when an officer pulled a car over at the corner of Morton and Page avenues at 10:15 a.m. Thomas Allen Jr. 34, was shot while driving this car as a police officer 'in fear for his life' was taken along for a ride after a routine stop . While the driver was being questioned, another passenger - Thomas Allen Jr. of St. Louis - is reported to have climbed into the driver's seat and tried to drive off. The officer got into the car and tried fighting with Allen and, 'in fear for his life,' shot the man three times. Fox 2 Now reports one of those shots struck Allen in the neck. The car then jumped a curb coming to a stop behind a home. Allen was transported to a hospital in critical condition - he later died. The Crimes Against Persons Unit is investigating the shooting . The officer was also taken to the hospital for treatment. The Crimes Against Persons Unit is now investigating the incident. The shooting comes just as the Justice Department is set to release a report accusing police in Ferguson, Missouri, of racist behavior that fueled tensions in the city for years before Michael Brown was shot dead. Officers ticketed black citizens above all others in regular traffic stops that were used to boost the department's coffers, senior officials connected to the report told The New York Times. Those unable to pay the fines would be jailed, creating a perpetual and 'avoidable' cycle that ghettoized the African-American community.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)There's been plenty of talk lately about how dangerous stereotypes can be when it comes to the empowerment of our girls and young women. For instance, the #LikeAGirl campaign, which took a hammer to the notion that doing anything "like a girl" should be viewed as an insult, has become an international sensation. Less discussed, though, is the reality that our boys face damaging stereotypes too. That was the motivation behind a recent workshop held by SheKnows Media, a leading women's lifestyle media company. A group of New York City tween boys ranging in age from 8 to 10 got together as part of the company's Hatch program, which focuses on teaching digital literacy and citizenship to the next generation. The boys were shown dozens of advertisements perpetuating hypermasculine stereotypes, such as images of men all muscled up and not wearing shirts. In one ad for a big truck, the boys heard the tag line "Can a truck change how people feel about a guy?" Is the 'be a man' stereotype hurting boys? Another advertisement, this one for a clothing company, showed a man from the waist down along with the caption "Wear the pants." "That's a man wearing the pants so that shows that men are in charge," said one of the boys, who's 9. What was clear was that this group of boys knew what the advertisers were trying to get them to think, but they weren't exactly buying it. "I play with girl toys and boy toys. I don't really care which one is meant for boys or for girls. I just play with them. They're toys," said another boy, also 9. "Man up" might mean toughen up and be unemotional, said another boy, who added that his image of what a man should be is completely different. "If I were to describe the perfect man, the words would be smart, not judgy, and kind," said the 10-year-old. 'Dad' gets a makeover in Super Bowl ads . These boys certainly can't speak for all tween boys, but their comments reflect what appears to be growing attention surrounding the use of gender stereotypes for boys as well as girls. Seventy-six percent of men who took part in a recent online survey by SheKnows Media admitted using phrases like "man up" and "be a man" toward boys. Of the more than 1200 men and women surveyed from across the country, 73% said boys are most often described as "aggressive," 69% said "strong" and 53% said "athletic." When the men were asked about stereotypes during their teen years, 72% said they became aware of physical attractiveness and 50% said they grew more conscious about weight. Kids as young as 5 concerned about body image . The awareness starts even earlier, according to a recent analysis of existing research on kids and body image by Common Sense Media, a child advocacy group. It found that over a third of boys ages 6 to 8 think their ideal weight should be thinner than their current body weight. "These are problems that are often thought of as problems for girls, but boys are just as impacted and they're exposed to unrealistic body images," said Ellen Pack, vice president of marketing for Common Sense Media, which is partnering with SheKnows Media to help parents understand the impact that media and technology are having on children. "The proportion of undressed males in advertising has been steadily on the rise since the 1980s," said Pack. "The same kinds of inappropriate messages that we're giving to our girls, we're giving to our boys too -- that they don't measure up, that they're not adequate." At the same time, there does appear to be more open-mindedness on what being masculine means to men and boys today, based on the poll's findings. Of the men surveyed by SheKnows, 78% said it was OK for boys to cry, 65% thought it was fine for boys to wear pink, and 55% of men said boys should be able to play dress-up. "You should be able to do your own things and do what you want," said one of the boys, who is 8. Sheryl Sandberg teams up with the NBA to get men to lean in . The takeaway for parents is that they, more than anyone or anything else, influence the stereotypes their boys will encounter and what impact those stereotypes will ultimately have on them. "We found the single most significant driver of their perception of what's OK for boys was their parents," said Samantha Skey, chief marketing officer for SheKnows Media. "It wasn't pop culture or Adam Levine or Usher. It was their parents," she said. "If their parents think they're strong and appropriately masculine, then they are. Period." Pack, of Common Sense Media, says parents should be talking about the issue to their boys when they are young, even as young as 5, and should call out stereotypes when they see them. "Don't just turn your eyes. Use it as an opportunity to engage in a conversation with your kids and challenge assumptions," Pack said. "When you are seeing things on TV that you think are unrealistic, point it out." I, for one, wish we could wipe out "be a man" and "man up" from all of our vocabularies. But, actually, why do we need to remove the language? We just need to change what it means. The tweens involved in the Hatch workshop offer some real-life evidence that that may be already happening. "When you go your own way, it feels good because you feel free and you can do what you want to do, and you don't have to do what other people say," one of the boys said. What do you think is the best way to empower boys and young men to tune out negative gender stereotypes?

He made extensive changes from the side that beat Mexico, with Brentford right-back Moses Odubajo the only surviving player of the team. With gale-force winds and torrential rain greeting England on their first visit to the Devon city in 26 years, it took both sides some time to get into their stride. Gradually Swift, the Chelsea midfielder currently on loan at Swindon Town in League One, began to take control of the midfield and he forced a fingertip save from American goalkeeper Jeff Caldwell. The States were happy to play on the counter-attack and Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford had to be alert to deny Maki Tall.

Obubajo advanced down the right and looked up to see Swift lurking on the edge of the area. Taking one touch to control, he fired past Caldwell to split the teams at half-time. The Young Lions continued to boss the game after the break and Mowatt went close again, firing over when Norwich City defender Harry Toffolo found him well-placed inside the box. A second goal duly arrived on 68 minutes - Swift sprung up on the left-wing, beat his man and crossed from the byline to Thomas. The Derby County forward fired home to score what proved to be the winning goal. But the States ensured a nervy finale when Tall pulled one back with 11 minutes to play, and they appeared to be level when Boxi Yomba scored late on.

His wage demands could lead to another long drawn out contract saga, similar to the discussions for his existing deal which nearly saw Walcott leave before he signed his last contract in January 2013. Liverpool and Manchester City will be monitoring Walcott’s situation closely ahead of a potential summer move.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Earlier this month, Shahindokht Molaverdi, Iran's Vice President for Women and Family Affairs, led an official delegation to the United Nations in New York to attend the 59th session of the Commission on the Status of Women. In her March 11 speech to the commission, Molaverdi said that "the Islamic Republic of Iran has always had the empowerment of women and improving their status...on its agenda." Molaverdi described the significant progress Iranian women have made in education and science, citing unilateral economic sanctions and violence against women as factors that have impeded the full realization of women's rights. There was little in her speech to suggest that domestic factors -- including Iran's laws and policies -- play a significant role in depriving Iranian women of real gender equality and empowerment. Unfortunately, Molaverdi's comments stood in sharp contrast to reality. On the day she delivered her speech, Amnesty International released a report raising concerns about the possible passage of two bills before Iran's parliament that would further restrict women's rights. One would prohibit voluntary sterilization as part of the country's efforts to boost population growth and strengthen the place of what are deemed "traditional" families in society. The other would "further entrench gender-based discrimination, particularly against women who choose not to or are unable to marry or have children," Amnesty said. A day later, the U.N. special rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Iran, Ahmed Shaheed, released his fourth report to the U.N. Human Rights Council describing the dire state of human rights in the country. His report cited the concerns about gender discrimination that Human Rights Watch and others had raised during Iran's 2014 Universal Periodic Review, a review of every U.N. state's human rights record every four years by the Human Rights Council. The sobering reality, all too familiar to Molaverdi, is that Iranian women face discrimination in many aspects of their lives, ranging from issues related to marriage, divorce, inheritance and child custody, to restrictions on dress and even access to sports stadiums as spectators. The proposed passage of more restrictive legislation in the name of protecting the family is just the latest step in the rollback on women's rights in recent years. To many, the discrepancy between what Molaverdi said in her speech, and what women face in Iran, smacked of diplomatic subterfuge. Activists and journalists rightly responded by highlighting the many violations of women's rights in Iran, and called out Molaverdi for failing to present an accurate and complete picture of the challenges that Iranian women face. Yet there was little acknowledgment by critics of the behind-the-scenes struggle that Molaverdi, who is often an outspoken critic of regressive measures restricting women's rights at home, and many others are waging every day as they try to carve out much-needed space for Iran's beleaguered rights activists. Just two days before the U.N. session, Iran's conservative Kayhan daily, thought to be close to the Office of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, published an article that showed just what Iran's women's rights activists are up against. The author questioned the wisdom of allowing an official delegation to attend events such as the U.N. commission, describing its notion of "gender equality" as "unacceptable to the Islamic Republic." The article accused Molaverdi of "negligence" for participating in events that could damage Iran's reputation and interests, and accused the 150 or so people who attended the session as representatives of Iranian groups of doing so without full and proper vetting by Iran's security and intelligence agencies. What's striking about Kayhan's attack is that Iran's powerful security and intelligence apparatus has for years acted to repress independent groups, including women's rights activists. Groups like the One Million Signatures Campaign, a grassroots effort designed to operate within the law to collect signatures supporting the repeal of laws that discriminate against women, were targeted as security officials detained their members on spurious "national security" grounds. But those hostile to women's rights in Iran remain unrelenting. Anyone who fails, willingly or unknowingly, to heed their threats may face reprisals, as several activists who attempted to attend similar U.N. events in previous years found out. Yet Kayhan's attack also reflects the resilience and adaptability of women's groups in Iran as they continue to challenge the state's monopoly on the women's rights narrative. While Iranian women lost some important legal rights after the 1979 revolution, their social and economic stature increased on average as they gained wider access to education, health care, and birth control. The image of the compromised and submissive woman engendered by Iran's discriminatory legal system bears little resemblance to the private and public lives of many Iranian women today. So while we rightfully condemn the disconnect between what Molaverdi said at the United Nations, and what Iranian women face, let us not lose sight of another reality: the paradox that exists in Iran between the state's regressive laws and policies against women, and the tireless and undaunted drive for change and equality by those who will not be denied. That effort, at the very least, deserves our respect. | Faraz Sanei : Women's groups in Iran have remained adaptable . Those hostile to women's rights in Iran remain unrelenting, she says . |

An eponym is a person, a place, or a thing after whom or which someone or something is, or is believed to be, named. The adjectives which are derived from the word eponym include eponymous and eponymic.Usage of the wordThe term eponym functions in multiple related ways, all based on an explicit relationship between two named things. A person, place, or thing named after a particular person share an eponymous relationship. In this way, Elizabeth I of England is the eponym of the Elizabethan era, but the Elizabethan era can also be referred to as the eponym of Elizabeth I of England.When Henry Ford is referred to as "the eponymous founder of the Ford Motor Company", his surname "Ford" and the name of the motor company have an eponymous relationship. The word "eponym" can also refer to the title character of a fictional work (such as Rocky Balboa of the Rocky film series), as well as to self-titled works named after their creators (such as the album The Doors by the band the Doors).Walt Disney created the eponymous Walt Disney Company, with his name similarly extended to theme parks such as Walt Disney World. Medical eponymous terms are often called medical eponyms although that usage is deprecable. | Elizabeth I of England and Elizabethan era

Stephens was one of the nine Australians who were imprisoned in Indonesia after trying to smuggle 8.3 kilograms of heroin from Bali to Australia. The 39-year-old has been sentenced to life and was moved from Kerobokan prison to Malang in East Java. Scroll down for video . Martin Stephens has penned a letter begging Indonesian president Joko Widodo to spare the lives of Bali Nine duo . The married inmate has penned a letter to The Australian and says Indonesian president Joko Widodo has given drug offenders like himself no hope of living a normal life. Mr Widodo's hardline on narcotics has Stephens fearing 'it would be better if they took me out the back and put a bullet in the back of my head' if he had no chance of reducing his sentence. 'It is more human to just take me out the back and shoot me like Andrew and Myuran,' Stephens said. 'Isn't 20 years a bad enough penalty? But life means no hope. It means I will die in prison. Can you imagine having to live like that?' Stephens says the impending executions of Chan and Sukuraman makes him lose hope that he will never leave prison . The married inmate fears he will die in prison and never know what it would be like to live with his wife .

In 2011, Stephens married Christine Puspayanti - a Javanese woman - who he met for the first time while at Kerobokan prison. She was visiting with a church group while Stephens was serving out his sentence in the Bali jail. Stephens also shares how he has forgiven Chan for his hand in getting him involved in the plot, but would never forget where the blame lay.

'If from inside [jail] they're still controlling drugs, then execute them immediately that day,' 9News reported Mr Tjahaja Purnama as saying.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Scientists at NASA are one step closer to understanding how much water could have existed on primeval Mars. These new findings also indicate how primitive water reservoirs there could have evolved over billions of years, indicating that early oceans on the Red Planet might have held more water than Earth's Arctic Ocean, NASA scientists reveal in a study published Friday in the journal Science. "Our study provides a solid estimate of how much water Mars once had, by determining how much water was lost to space," said Geronimo Villanueva, a scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center. "With this work, we can better understand the history of water on Mars." To find answers to this age-old question about Martian water molecules, scientists used the world's three major infrared telescopes, in Chile and Hawaii, to measure traces of water in the planet's atmosphere over a range of areas and seasons, spanning from March 2008 to January 2014. "From the ground, we could take a snapshot of the whole hemisphere on a single night," said Goddard's Michael Mumma. Scientists looked at the ratio of two different forms -- or isotopes -- of water, H2O and HDO. The latter is made heavier by one of its hydrogen atoms, called deuterium, which has a neutron at its core in addition to the proton that all hydrogen atoms have. That weighed down HDO more, while larger amounts of hydrogen from H2O floated into the atmosphere, broke away from Mars' low gravity and disappeared into space. As a result, water trapped in Mars' polar ice caps has a much higher level of HDO than fluid water on Earth does, the scientists said. The scientists compared the ratio of H2O to HDO in Mars' atmosphere today to the ratio of the two molecules trapped inside a Mars meteorite, a stone that broke off from Mars -- perhaps when an asteroid hit -- and landed on Earth some 4.5 billion years ago. They were able to determine how much that ratio had changed over time and estimate how much water has disappeared from Mars -- about 87%. The findings indicate that the Red Planet could have had its fair share of blue waters, possibly even yielding an ocean. According to NASA, there might have been enough water to cover up to 20% of Mars' surface. That would amount to an ocean proportionally larger than the Atlantic on Earth. "This ocean had a maximum depth of around 5,000 feet or around one mile deep," said Villanueva. NASA scientists say that much of this water loss happened over billions of years, along with a loss of atmosphere. And as the planet's atmospheric pressure dropped, it was harder for water to stay in liquid form. Heat also contributed to its evaporation. As a result, the remaining primeval ocean water continued to move toward the poles, where it eventually froze. "With Mars losing that much water, the planet was very likely wet for a longer period of time than was previously thought, suggesting it might have been habitable for longer," said Mumma. CNN's Ben Brumfield contributed to this report. | Scientists studied water in Mars' atmosphere with three giant infrared telescopes .

Generate a summary of the text | Gareth Bale is being linked with a move away from Champions League winners Real Madrid as the former Tottenham forward continues to face criticism from the club's supporters. Manchester United and Chelsea have both been credited with having an interest in bringing the world's most expensive player back to the Premier League. Sportsmail asked Manchester United fan Dave Ford of 90min.com to give his thoughts about a possible switch to Old Trafford. Gareth Bale reacts with disappointment as Barcelona players celebrate after the Clasico on march 22 . Bale scored twice to help Wales beat Israel 3-0 in a Euro 2016 qualifier on Saturday . Given the opportunity, there's not a club in the world who wouldn't want to sign Gareth Bale and Manchester United are no different. The Welshman is the future of football. United are showing signs of life again. We've picked up our form under Louis van Gaal, sit in the Premier League's top four and beat Liverpool at Anfield prior to the international break. Big money was spent last summer and it will be this year too. It's all systems go in terms of firing us back to the top of English and European football. However, while the attack is starting to click into gear, something is still missing. Some kind of X-factor. Most of us have confidence that Angel Di Maria will come good, but we still want more. Bale is what we want. Having two former Real Madrid stars in tandem at Old Trafford is the stuff of dreams. Sure, we'd love to have Cristiano Ronaldo back too, but our former No 7 has just turned 30 and dare we say it - his best days may be behind him. A 25-year-old Bale is the man to pin the hopes on. Bale's celebration was cut short as he had a goal disallowed for offside against Barcelona . Bale argues with Barcelona forward Neymar Jnr as Real lost 2-1 to the La Liga leaders . It's not all plain sailing for the boy from Cardiff in Spain. He has been criticised in the Madrid press for not pulling his weight, he went missing in last weekend's Clasico and his car even got a boot up the backside from a supporter in the fallout. Real Madrid fans are historically fickle and Bale is their latest scapegoat. Rest assured that it'll be his head on the chopping block next time Real lose a game. He doesn't deserve to be treated like some children's toy - picked up when loved and thrown down to the ground when not. Bale should seek a club where his talents are appreciated. Manchester United are prepared to offer an escape route and the subsequent affection he needs. Unfortunately, Bale is still a big part of Florentino Perez's plans and the player himself feels like he still has so much to prove. United are not an option that Bale wants to take just now, but the offer will always remain on the table. Bale has been criticised by fans this season and even had his car attacked by angry supporters . The former Tottenham forward leads the celebrations after scoring his second and Wales' third of the match . His potential signing is not a case of need. After all, no club is going to spend £86m on a player if he isn't considered some kind of luxury. Bale is a player that can lead us to our former glory. You'd only have to look at the effect he had on Tottenham before leaving for Spain for proof of his influence. However much he'd cost, Bale would be a worthwhile investment. His ability to play on either flank or through the middle make him a great option, given he can fit around the likes of Angel Di Maria, Juan Mata and Wayne Rooney in whatever system suits. Heck, he could even play alongside Marouane Fellaini. Any move might unfairly consign the excellent Ashley Young back to bench-warmer, but football has a habit of not being fair. Nevertheless, don't expect the move to happen this summer. Bale has a lot left to prove in Spain and he's too proud a person to walk away from his dream club just yet. But if there's ever a return to the Premier League on the cards for Gareth Bale, we will be waiting with open arms.

The image appeared to show Bilardi at the wheel of a car with the caption, "Abu Abdullah al-Australi (may Allah accept him), the attacker on the 8th Brigade." The other attackers hailed from Belgium, Syria, Uzbekistan and the Caucasus, the Twitter account claimed. Victoria police said Bilardi first came to their attention when his family reported him missing last year. A search of his family's home in the Melbourne suburb of Craigieburn following his disappearance uncovered chemicals that could be used to make an explosive device, police said, although no actual bombs were found. Bishop said Bilardi's passport had been canceled in October on the advice of Australian security agencies. Australian media have reported that Bilardi kept a since-deleted blog, written under his alias Abu Abdullah al-Australi. Entitled "From Melbourne to Ramadi: My Journey," it reportedly detailed his transition from an "atheist school student in affluent Melbourne to a soldier of the Khilafah preparing to sacrifice my life for Islam." The blog reportedly described a plan to attack targets in Melbourne, after an initial attempt to move to Iraq or Syria failed. "This plan involved launching a string of bombings across Melbourne, targeting foreign consulates and political/military targets as well as grenade and knife attacks on shopping centres and cafes and culminating with myself detonating a belt of explosives amongst the kuffar," he wrote, according to the Sydney Morning Herald. Member of Bilardi's family have linked the teen's radicalization to the loss of his mother from cancer. "He's just a young boy that went looking for something after he lost someone very very dear to him, his mother," his aunt, Connie Bilardi, told CNN affiliate Seven on Monday. A former classmate of Bilardi's from Melbourne's Craigieburn Secondary College described the teen on Facebook as a "shy kid who didn't like to be disturbed". "One day, he randomly got angry at me and tried to punch me," he posted. "Always keep an eye out on the quiet ones." A former penpal of Bilardi told CNN he cut off communication with the teenager about two years ago, when Bilardi started posting Islamic extremist messages on his Facebook page. The friend, who requested not to be named, said he first met Bilardi on the website interpals.net about seven years ago. They shared a love for soccer -- Bilardi was a supporter of Chelsea Football Club -- and became penpals. Bilardi told him about his mother's death, and confided that he was fighting with his family, because they would not allow him to go overseas to study. The penpal said he started noticing a change in Bilardi's behavior when the teen started posting "things that supported Osama bin Laden" on Facebook. "I got scared," the friend said. "My friends here told me that maybe I should stop talking to him." He blocked Bilardi on the social networking site about two years ago. After a while, he said, he got curious about how his old penpal was doing. "I thought he was my friend. I wanted to make sure he was okay... I sent him an email saying 'Are you well?' but he never wrote back." Bishop said that 90 Australian citizens are in Iraq and Syria fighting on the side of ISIS, and that at least 20 Australians have been killed in the conflict. The passports of some 100 Australians had been canceled on national security grounds, she said. Bishop appealed to young Australians "not to fall victim to this brutal terrorist organization, to not be lured into believing that they're embarking on some adventure or some romantic endeavor." "This is a brutal organization dedicated to creating misery and hardship," she said. "Its activities of beheadings and executions and crucifixions all take us back to the dark ages." Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott addressed Bilardi's alleged suicide attack in comments to the press Thursday. This is a horrific situation -- an absolutely horrific situation -- and it shows the lure of this death cult to impressionable youngsters," he said. "It's very, very important that we do everything we can to try to safeguard our young people against the lure of this shocking alien and extreme ideology." Last week, two Australian teen brothers were arrested at Sydney Airport on suspicion of trying to leave the country to join ISIS. CNN's Jennifer Z. Deaton, Naomi Ng and Marilia Brocchetto contributed to this report. | Australia is seeking to confirm reports a Melbourne teen killed himself in an ISIS suicide attack .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Yaounde, Cameroon (CNN)Cameroon's security forces are predicting a drawn-out battle with Boko Haram as evidence filters out that the insurgents are now recruiting there. "We don't doubt that Boko Haram is recruiting in Cameroon," said Col. Joseph Nouma, commander of Operation ALPHA, a special military operation set up by Cameroon's government to fight the Nigerian terrorist group. He says communities bordering Nigeria have been emptied of men between the ages of 10 and 45. "Many of them are found across the border in Nigeria, training with the terrorists," he told CNN. This has made it difficult for the country's defense forces to adequately estimate the power of the terrorist group. Nouma said the number of militants may be greater than is widely believed, though there is no reliable estimate of the group's strength. "Boko Haram is a permanent metamorphosis, dying every day but recruiting every day as well," says Col. Jacob Kodji, interim commander of the 4th Military Region. "And this complicates a lot of things for us." Nouma agreed: "We kill them, but they keep on coming." Boko Haram is a Nigerian-based Islamic group whose purpose is to institute Sharia, or Islamic law. They have carried out a campaign of terror in northern Nigeria, killing thousands, taking hundreds captive, and occupying swaths of territory in Borno state. As many as 200,000 Nigerians have fled to neighboring countries, creating an urgent humanitarian situation, the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees reported last month. For the past two years, Boko Haram fighters have been carrying out cross-border raids on Cameroon, slaughtering hundreds and torching entire neighborhoods. But as the country's defense forces -- later joined by battle-hardened Chadian troops -- turned up the momentum against the insurgents, the terrorists began to swell their ranks with Cameroonians. Nouma said he believes "most of the worst attacks we have suffered" were carried out by Cameroonians fighting for Boko Haram. Also, the militants' ability to hit several different places at once, and with precision, suggests that "there are people over here giving them information," Nouma said. In January, Boko Haram struck Fotokol, a Cameroonian town separated by only a bridge from Gambarou, Nigeria, a stronghold of the Islamist extremists. The attackers killed more than 400 people. Cameroonian and Chadian soldiers stationed there managed to kill 150 invaders. Among them was the son of Ahmadou Moustafa, a Fotokol resident. For two months, Moustafa didn't know the whereabouts of his son, Akim, or what he was doing. He didn't find out until the aftermath of the fighting, when locals removed the veil on one of the dead attackers to reveal his 15-year-old boy's face. "I was really shocked and embarrassed at the development," Moustafa said. While it's difficult to fathom the appeal of extreme, violent doctrine among young Cameroonians, ambient poverty and chronic unemployment in the Far North region may explain why some there are lured to Boko Haram pay. The government's 2010 National Population and Housing Census found the region to be the country's poorest, with 60% of the population living in poverty. Joseph Mbah Ndam, an opposition member of Cameroon's parliament, told CNN that the government of President Paul Biya "has for over 30 years now failed to create jobs for the youths. And in such circumstances, they may be easily manipulated into joining such hate groups." A senior government official from the region, who would not be named, agreed, saying that "in a context of such extreme poverty, it couldn't be otherwise." "No significant economic project has been carried out there ... the Far North is the most populated in the country, but has been completely abandoned," the official explained. "So it's not surprising that youths should be sensitive to calls by Boko Haram." Desperate youths aren't the only recruits, however. Very often, police are bribed into collaborating. In January, Abdoulaye Farikou, senior inspector of police in Balaza, was arrested by the military and accused of using his position as head of the Identification Unit in the Far North region town to issue Cameroonian ID cards to militants coming in from Nigeria. Security officials say such a move makes it easy for Boko Haram to infiltrate Cameroon and gather vital security information. Along with the presence of some 6,000 Cameroonian troops and plans to deploy some 20,000 more over the next two years, the government now has come up with a $135 million program to finance 94 development projects. Part of the money will be used to increase cereal production by 30% in the Far North region, where child malnutrition now stands at some 70%, according to Economy Minister Emmanuel Nganou Djoumessi. Other investments will be made in road construction, railway development, mining and social services. "We can't easily win this war with military means alone," said Mijiyawa Bakary, the regional governor. "The development package government has put in place will definitely keep many young people busy, and therefore will not be charmed by the false promises of the terrorist group." But development projects can only be carried out in a climate of peace, and officials here hope that the Multinational Joint Task Force -- about 8,500 troops from Cameroon, Chad, Niger, Nigeria and Benin -- will defeat Boko Haram and lay that groundwork. | Military leader says "most of the worst attacks" were carried out by Cameroonians fighting for Boko Haram .

Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)If you enjoy laughing at the England football team -- calling all Germans and Scots -- and you have a spare $900,000, then Sotheby's has the very thing for you. The auction house is offering an untitled work by Italian sculptor Maurizio Cattelan that chronicles -- in painstaking and painful detail if you are English -- every defeat suffered by the England team between 1874 and 1998. Cattelan has carved all the defeats into a large (and it would have to be, wouldn't it?) piece of black granite, meaning the lucky buyer can be constantly reminded of a succession of ignominious afternoons and evenings. The artist says of his memorial stone-style work simply: "I guess it's a piece which talks about pride, missed opportunities and death." Known for his humorous and satirical art, Cattelan had plenty to work with as he recorded defeats starting with a 2-1 loss to Scotland in Glasgow in 1874 and ending with another 2-1 setback against Romania at the 1998 World Cup. Since then, of course, he'd have had a fair few more to immortalize, including the two to Italy and Uruguay in Brazil last summer that were part of the worst-ever England display at a World Cup. The artist, whose other works include La Nona Ora (The Ninth Hour), which depicts Pope John Paul II being struck down by a meteorite, first put his football piece on display at an exhibition in London in 1999. It's not known whether any England managers and players, past or present, came along to have a sneaky look. Current England boss Roy Hodgson is known to be a bit of an Italophile, but the former Inter Milan coach needs to be quick if he wants catch a glimpse -- Cattelan's work is on public exhibition at Sotheby's New Bond Street galleries until Tuesday 10 March. It will then be offered as part of the single-owner 'Bear Witness' sale. | A monument to England's football failure is set to go on auction in London .

The zygomatic arch bone separates the eye socket from the sinuses. A medical expert said the surgery was needed because 'there are bacteria in the sinuses, so it is a bone that needs to be fixed' Westbrook, 26, is averaging 26.5 points, 8.1 assists and 6.8 rebounds in 45 games for OKC this season . Medical analyst Mark Edickes said: 'There are bacteria in the sinuses, so it is a bone that needs to be fixed. 'There are a lot of facial bones you may crack that don't need to be fixed. 'The other thing is, it provides some contour to the cheek, so there is an issue of appearance as well.' When he resumes playing, Westbrook will probably wear a face mask. Westbrook did not play in OKC's 108-101 win over the Los Angeles Lakers earlier today. He will be re-evaluated this week to determine when he can return to the court, although Yahoo Sports reported if Westbrook 'had a playoff game, he could play'.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Here's a pair of twins no one will have trouble telling apart: One is white, and one is black. Thanks to a rare quirk of nature, Lucy is the alabaster-skinned redhead, and Maria has their part-Jamaican mother's dark skin and hair. Images of the Aylmer sisters of Gloucester, United Kingdom, rocketed around the Internet this week when a British newspaper carried their story. "I can't stop crying! This is all so amazing," Lucy Aylmer posted on Facebook. The girls were born to a white father and a biracial mom in 1997, according to the Daily Mail story that started all the fuss. 'No one ever believes we are twins," the newspaper quoted Lucy Aylmer as saying. "Even when we dress alike, we still don't look like sisters, let alone twins." Appearing Tuesday on "Good Morning Britain," the sisters said they're always facing doubters who can't believe they are related, much less twin sisters. Some even asked whether Lucy was adopted, she told the show. "It was pretty hard," she said. "It went on in secondary school as well, and it wasn't very nice." Maria said they've been told the chances of such an occurrence are "one in a million." The BBC, reporting on a similar case in 2011, said it was more like 1 in 500. No matter the odds, the sisters say they're happy with how they look. "Maria loves telling people at college that she has a white twin -- and I'm very proud of having a black twin," Lucy told the Daily Mail.

Nine Chelsea stars - including captain Terry - surrounded the referee to successfully get Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off for a lunge on Oscar in their Champions League defeat. But Terry has attempted to excuse the players' behaviour and insisted it was simply retaliation for PSG's antics. Chelsea's players surround referee Bjorn Kuipers as he sends off Zlatan Ibrahimovic (second right) in the first half of the Blues' defeat . John Terry (centre) led the protests as he screamed at the referee following Ibrahimovic's first-half challenge in the second leg clash . The referee is almost completely hidden from view as the Chelsea players make their case as they gained an early advantage . He said: 'If I have to run 20, 30 yards, it doesn't look great but when you're standing back and seeing five or six of their players surrounding the ref, for me I think I support my team-mates. 'And once I go, four or five go with me. It doesn't look good at all but that's part of the game. We'll match it if people want to mix it, that's part of our game as well. 'There was an awful lot going on but I don't think anyone got caught up in it. 'Once they're charging the ref, the only thing we can do is respond.

Chelsea striker Diego Costa makes a beeline for Ibrahimovic as the referee raises the red card to send the Swede for an early bath . Terry also hit back at critics who accused Chelsea players of behaving badly as they crashed out of the Champions League. Ibrahimovic branded them 'babies' for their reaction to his tackle on Oscar which persuaded Dutch referee Bjorn Kuipers to send him off half an hour into the 2-2 draw at Stamford Bridge. On TV, Jamie Carragher called the pressure they put on the officials 'disgraceful' and said it came from manager Jose Mourinho, while Graeme Souness said Oscar's play acting was 'pathetic'. 'Coming from them?', was Terry's initial response. The Chelsea captain added: 'I don't want to get involved in a row but as a group it's difficult. It's there and you have to stick up for your team-mates. 'The fans want to see that and that's the same with every side. Every other side is as bad as each other. It's part of the game. It's maybe an excuse they're looking for but certainly not from our point.' It made for a disappointing night for Mourinho's players, dumped out on away goals despite leading twice and left to focus on the title race.

Sportsmail columnist and Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher said the pressure Chelsea put on the referee was 'disgraceful' Carragher, Thierry Henry (centre) and Graeme Souness disect Chelsea's exit from the Champions League on Sky Sports . Terry said: 'We have to pick ourselves up and go again at the weekend now. We've got another big game against a very good Southampton side. 'We've got the Capital One Cup in the pocket and the Premier League is a massive one to go for. We're a few points clear and we need to keep that gap and maintain it. We can only do that by responding and doing that the right way and coming back here and picking up three points. 'The manager said then if we can win the Capital One Cup and the Premier League, it will be a very successful year. There is an awful lot to do but it's in our hands and we have to respond. We've got four or five days until Sunday's game. '[We will have a] couple of days warm down, train and then pick ourselves right back up. As a group of players, there's enough experience in the squad to rally round and get everyone going again.' There will be no English teams in the last eight of the Champions League unless Arsenal or Manchester City can overturn first leg defeats next week in Monaco and Barcelona respectively. Terry said: 'We've had our fair share of maintaining interest for English sides in the competition over the years. It's disappointing to go out early. It's different for us, we're normally in the hat for the next round for sure but from the club's point a view and the players and the fans, we're obviously really disappointed. 'They probably deserved the win and going down to 10 they were probably the better side as well. So I wish them good luck and we regroup and go again in this competition next season.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Anyone who's been on a ski holiday will admit to have thinking it. 'Wouldn't this place be brilliant if we had it all to ourselves?' One way to avoid crowds on the slopes, is to hire out the whole resort exclusively - something one Utah ski village offers for $10,000. Eagle Point, in Utah, can host 200 people at its resort and while its slopes are open to the public from Thursday to Sunday, from Monday to Wednesday, skiers will have the lifts and the runs to themselves. Eagle Point in Utah can be hired out completely for almost $10,000 (£6,500) and can cater for 200 people . And while it sounds like the sort of thing that would only be exclusively accessed by the rich, royal or uber-famous, it's not. In theory, the whole place including accommodation and slopes with five lifts to access 600 acres of skiable powder, can be all yours for $50 (£32.50). Owner Shane Gadbaw, a former banker, rents out the whole resort privately for $10,000 (£6,486), which if split between 200 people works out at just $50 (£32.50) each. And because it's called the 'As You Wish Package', and the resort is run privately and not by some big, faceless corporation, it's all tailored to your group's needs. Speaking to MailOnline Travel, Mr Gadbaw says that three key virtues of an authentic ski and snowboard experience, affordable first class food service and a terrain for all levels make the resort what it is. The US resort offers stunning views out over Utah, while this luxury continues to the facilities and food on offer . Executive chef Jimmie McDowell ensures his food and his staff are of the highest standard for all the guests . 'Eagle Point resembles a ski resort of the classic era before high speed detachable lifts, luxury shopping villages and amusement park-like crowds and lines. Guests have the space to enjoy the snow and the mountains without fighting crowds. As a private, family-run operation, the culture of Eagle Point and its staff is set from the top. Our goal is simple: we want you to have an amazing time at our resort. You will find the friendliest and most helpful staff in the resort industry. 'From the personal escort to your condo at check-in, to the special attention to your kids in our ski school program, you will be treated like a special guest at our resort.' Most of the lodging is ski-in/ski-out and located within a short walk through the fresh powder from the main lodge. What better thing can there be after a testing day on the slopes than relaxing in the bar with friends and an alcoholic beverage? The resort caters for all levels of skier, and has the facilities to provide for all the family . 'Eagle Point is offering the opportunity to reserve the entire resort on an exclusive basis,' says the resort website. 'Imagine you and your friends, family, social or corporate group, enjoying exclusive access to 600 skiable acres, five lifts, the terrain park - and of course no lift lines! 'Stay in comfortable accommodations, with superb dining options and plenty of apres ski fun for everyone - all tailored to your group's priorities and interests. 'This is your chance to be king of the mountain.' The resort can be booked privately from Monday through until Wednesday, and could cost you just £35 . Clearly the package is most attractive to corporate groups and its convenient position 241 miles or a less than four-hour drive from Las Vegas doesn't hurt at all. By comparison, the much more famous Vail in Colorado is a three hours and 15 minute flight away. The Canyonside Lodges which includes The Outpost Grill restaurant dishing up American cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a bar, two fireplaces, and five televisions. The Lodge is also the hub at night-time with live music and dancing guaranteed on Saturdays with a host of acts coming over from Vegas. The accommodation is a step back in time to what we'd consider a classic ski resort, with a village feel and an array of suites, condos, cottages and holiday homes, along with lodgings in Beaver City, a Mormon-settled town of about 2,500 people. The heavy snowfall has mean Eagle Point has maintained a steady influx of customers to its slopes . The region boasts 40 feet of snow annually, and famously fun powder at that. Although this year hasn't been a good one for Eagle Point, it's turned around in the past week. After a brief closure in February it was planned that from February 21 the slopes would only be open on weekends due to a lack of snow fall and warm weather. However Mother Nature delivered and from yesterday regular service as resumed, albeit with a very generous free skiing for all on Sundays, as long as you sign up to the mailing list. The resort will cater for skiers as well as snowboarders and can provide all the equipment to make your stay memorable . Mr Gadbaw added: 'While not as large as the mega resorts of Colorado and Northern Utah, Eagle Point has 600 acres of terrain that will suit all levels. 'Our steep terrain is the most thrilling in the region and rivals the same at any of the mega resorts. The groomers will keep the casual skiers and snowboarders smiling and shushing throughout their stay. 'Also, the resort is situated like two resorts - divided by skill level - with all of the steep terrain and one side and the groomers on another. This allows a clustering of like-skilled skiers and snowboarders together.' | Eagle Point resort in Utah can be hired for what works out at £32.50 a night providing you fill capacity .
