(CNN)The reported kidnapping of a Vallejo, California, woman for ransom this week was nothing but a hoax, police said. Vallejo police Lt. Kenny Park went as far as to call it a "wild goose chase" that wasted department resources. Denise Huskins and her boyfriend Aaron Quinn, who reported the kidnapping Monday, are no longer cooperating with police, Park said. Huskins was found safe on Wednesday, more than 400 miles away in Huntington Beach. Officers from the Huntington Beach Police Department talked with Huskins, 29, at her father's apartment complex, department spokeswoman Jennifer Marlatt told reporters. The case has authorities scratching their heads. Huskins initially indicated she would be happy to talk with Vallejo police and provide details of what happened, according to Park. Anxious to talk with her, Vallejo police and the FBI sent a jet to Huntington Beach to fly her back to the Bay Area. When it was time to go, Huskins was a no show. "As of right now, we have not heard from Miss Huskins and we are no longer in contact with any of the family members," Park said late Wednesday. The family has retained an attorney. Like Huskins, Quinn isn't talking. Charges are possible in the case, Park said, but those will be decided by the district attorney once the investigation is complete. The quickly changing developments left authorities frustrated. Quinn called on Monday afternoon to report that his girlfriend had been kidnapped several hours earlier from his home. At the time, Park said that the case was being treated as a kidnap for ransom. Huskins' father, Michael, made an emotional appeal through CNN affiliate KGO-TV in San Francisco directed at the kidnappers: "Don't hurt her, please don't hurt her." "The biggest fear is the horror she might be going through ... that's my biggest fear. The horror, she doesn't deserve that, not from anybody." "It's like a nightmare that I can't wake up from," her father told the affiliate. "This is not supposed to happen." Then, the San Franciso Chronicle posted an audio clip. On it, a woman who identified herself as Denise Huskins says she has been abducted. "My name is Denise Huskins. I am kidnapped, otherwise I'm fine," the voice says. "Earlier today there was a plane crash in Alps and 158 people died. And one thing that people know about me is that I went to my first concert, me and my mom, to Blink 182 (last word is inaudible)." The editor in chief of the Chronicle, Audrey Cooper, said the newspaper received a link to the audio file in an email. The Chronicle reported the anonymous email said Huskins would be "returned safely (Wednesday). We will send a link to her location after she has been dropped off. She will be in good health and safe while she waits. Any advance on us or our associates will create a dangerous situation for Denise. Wait until she is recovered and then proceed how you will. We will be ready." Then came Wednesday. The Chronicle reported that Huskins' father said he received a voice mail from his daughter saying she had been dropped off at his apartment. He called police to ask that the authorities pick her up and make sure she was safe, he told the newspaper. "I almost had a heart attack," he said, according to the Chronicle. "I tried to get authorities to pick her up, but they kept asking me a bunch of questions. I said, 'Send a squad car.' I was hyperventilating." Authorities are unclear what exactly is going on. Or , if they know, they're not saying. Police said the requested ransom amount was $8,500. The FBI is investigating the Huskins' financial records. About 40 detectives from various agencies and 100 support personnel "worked around the clock" on the case, leaving the community on edge, Park said. "I can tell you that our investigation has concluded that none of the claims has been substantiated," he said. "And I can go one step further to say this: That this was not a random act and that the members of our community are safe and that they have nothing to fear." "It's disappointing. It's disheartening," he said. CNN's Dan Simon, Tony Marco, Faith Karimi, Ashley Fantz, Elan Bird, Michael Martinez, Stella Chan, Rosalina Nieves and Paul Vercammen contributed to this report.

Yesterday, as she dazzled in diamonds and a crimson floor-length dress, Mexican First Lady Angélica Rivera looked regal enough to rival the Queen. But while the 45-year-old might look like the consummate political wife, her telenovela acting career has repeatedly come back to haunt her. Most recently, her embattled husband, President Enrique Peña Nieto, has been derided for indulging in 'soap opera politics' as scandal after scandal has engulfed him - and his First Lady. Scroll down for video . Early days: Ms Rivera's career began at 17 and she was briefly a bikini model before becoming an actress . Of all the contretemps, none has struck quite such a chord with the angry public as the ongoing controversy over Ms Rivera's purchase of a multi-million pound mansion in Mexico City in 2010. First reported by local journalist Carmen Aristegui late last year, the purchase allegedly came about after a murky deal was struck between the First Lady and a government contractor. Ms Rivera, who initially counteracted the claims by insisting that the reason the title deeds were not in her name was because she hadn't finished paying for it, was forced onto the back foot as more revelations came to light. Most concerned the involvement of Ingeniería Inmobiliaria del Centro, a subsidiary of Grupo Higa, a key government contractor. The business, in whose name the property is held, had been granted more than $8bn pesos (£377m) in construction projects during Peña Nieto's tenure as governor of Mexico State. All change: Yesterday saw Ms Rivera, resplendent in a cream ensemble, meet the Queen in London . Honour: She later attended a state dinner at Buckingham Palace with the Queen and Prince Philip . Chic: Ms Rivera won plaudits from critics for her striking choice of outfit, including serious jewels . Interestingly, days before the report emerged, a high speed rail contract handed to Constructora Teya, an affiliate of Grupo Higa, was mysteriously cancelled. With suspicions mounting and Peña Nieto being accused of fostering the sort of corruption he had campaigned to put an end to during the 2012 presidential campaign, a chastened Rivera appeared on national television to announce she intended to sell the house and had 'nothing to hide'. 'I have taken the decision to sell my interest in the purchase contract of the house,' she announced. 'I have nothing to hide. 'I don’t want this to continue to be a pretext to offend and defame my family. Today, I am here to defend my integrity, that of my children and of my husband.' Whatever the truth of the matter, there is no doubt that the scandal, coming hot on the heels of the disappearance of 43 student teachers, was a disaster for the Peña Nieto regime. Considered handsome but dim by most voters during the 2012 presidential campaign, tough economic reforms sent his popularity ratings tumbling, while the furore over the students could prove terminal. Peña Nieto, who had come to power pledging to end the bloody rule of the drug cartels, mishandled the situation, say critics, when in September last year, 43 students were kidnapped in Iguala. While the precise details of what happened remain unclear, what is known is that the men were handed over to the Guerreros Unidos crime syndicate and, according to the Mexican government, murdered and their bodies burned. Expenses: The latest scandal is about a 2010 house purchase, while Ms Rivera was still a soap actress . Soap star: Ms Rivera was once a familiar face on Mexican TV thanks to her soap acting career . Performer: Ms Rivera in Destilando amor (left) and dressed up for the red carpet at a press event (right) The crime immediately sparked nationwide protests which intensified when Iguala's mayor, José Luis Abarca Velázquez, and his wife María de los Ángeles Pineda Villa, were accused of masterminding the massacre. Worse still, a number of police officers were also implicated - putting paid, in the process, to Peña Nieto's claims that his anti-cartel war was being won. And the controversy is still not over - even as the embattled Peña Nieto and Ms Rivera flew into London on Monday, critics were questioning whether the visit should go ahead. David Cameron, who will meet Peña Nieto at Downing Street today, has also said that he plans to raise the issue of human rights abuses with the Mexican President. Such controversy is all a far cry from the early days of Ms Rivera's career when, as a fresh-faced 17-year-old in Mexico City, she entered a newspaper modelling competition and won. Risque: Her sometimes racy soap career has made Ms Rivera one of Mexico's most colourful public figures . Clinch: Since becoming First Lady, she has toned down her look and given up her telenovela career . Romance: The couple were pictured in 2008 at a football match. Ms Rivera was still married at the time . That early success launched a career that would go on to include a brief spell as a swimwear model followed by a move into acting, starting in 1989 when she won a small part in telenovela Dulce Desafío. A long - and apparently lucrative - career, most of it spent at Mexico's largest broadcaster Televisa, was born, with Ms Rivera going on to star in succession of low-budget soaps, among them Alcanzar una estrella II and, most recently, Destilando amor. But her biggest coup came in 2008 when she was hired by Peña Nieto to help publicise his work as state governor. Ms Rivera, then still married to her ex-husband, TV producer José Alberto Castro, with whom she has three daughters, was smitten by the charismatic Peña Nieto. The pair swiftly became an item and in 2010, she married the widowed Peña Nieto in a ceremony attended by her daughters and his three children, Paulina, Alejandro and Nicole. Even then, however, the marriage wasn't without controversy, with critics pointing to rumours of affairs during his first marriage to Mónica Pretelini. Lucky break: Ms Rivera in bridal white at her wedding to President Peña Nieto in 2010 . Support: During the 2012 presidential election, Ms Rivera was a constant presence at Peña Nieto's side . First Lady: Since Peña Nieto took office, Ms Rivera has embraced a more conservative style of dressing . Following Peña Nieto's election in 2012, the Washington Post noted of his marriage to Ms Pretelli, who died in 2007, that: 'Women love him and he had extramarital affairs.' Presumably, those 'extramarital affairs' are now a thing of the past, with Ms Rivera now in charge of an increasingly public portfolio, not least her installation as president of DIF (National System for Integral Family Development) in 2013. She is also a constant presence at the president's side, always immaculately, if conservatively, dressed - a far cry from the racy outfits she favoured during her soap star days. The acting career is also gone, with Ms Rivera declaring her intention to focus on 'this great responsibility by his side' shortly after her husband was elected. But with scandal after scandal hitting the Peña Nieto regime, it seems the days of starring in soap operas aren't quite over yet. All smiles: But while Ms Rivera smiled and chatted to Prince Philip, she is mired in scandal at home . Controversial: Ms Rivera, seen with Charles and Camilla yesterday, has been accused of corruption .

Given this paragraph about flashcards, is flashcard useful for learning painting?
|
A flashcard or flash card (also known as an index card) is a card bearing information on both sides, which is intended to be used as an aid in memorization. Each flashcard bears a question on one side and an answer on the other. Flashcards are often used to memorize vocabulary, historical dates, formulas or any subject matter that can be learned via a question-and-answer format. Flashcards can be virtual (part of a flashcard software), or physical.

There was nothing more mind-numbingly maddening in the aftermath of England’s worst World Cup exit yet than the immediate reaction of Peter Moores. ‘We thought 275 was chaseable. We’ll have to look at the data,’ said a coach now fighting to avoid his second ignominious exit from international cricket as the reality of an embarrassing group stage elimination sank in. Well, England should rip up their data along with their whole philosophy towards one-day cricket and start again. Peter Moores faces an uncertain future following England's humiliating exit from the 2015 Cricket World Cup . England were beaten by 15 runs at the Adelaide Oval to make it four defeats against Test-playing nations . England captain Eoin Morgan looks dejected as he leaves the field after their World Cup match . Morgan's fifth ODI duck in 12 innings summed up their poor performance at the World Cup . 90 - the amount of runs captain Eoin Morgan scored in five innings at the World Cup . 12.2 - the overs it took for New Zealand to beat England's total of 123 in their second group game. 111 - Australia's margin of victory in the opening game of the tournament . 654 - total of runs scored by Australia and Sri Lanka against England . 1 - number of centuries scored by an England batsman against Test playing nations . 72 - number of runs scored by Sri Lanka off the bowling of Chris Woakes . 0 - number of wins registered by England over Test playing nations in the tournament . 0 - the number of centuries scored by a Bangladesh batsman in a World Cup before playing England on Monday. 37.4-1-234-5 - Chris Woakes's tournament bowling figures. 49 - the amount of runs Steven Finn went for in two overs against New Zealand. You do not need analysis to know that they have stunk this tournament out and, after this 15-run defeat by Bangladesh, are once again the laughing stock of the cricket world. The only statistic Moores needs to know is that England, having been thrashed by Australia, New Zealand and Sri Lanka, were humbled by a Bangladesh side who beat them here at their own very English game. The key data is that England, having defeated just Scotland so far, have excelled themselves in being even worse at this World Cup than the five previous stinkers since they came so close to winning the 1992 tournament in Australia. And this humiliation has come after the Ashes were moved and a winter of one-day cricket provided to try to make sure England had every chance of finally competing for a first global 50-over trophy that looks further away than ever. In truth, arranging a one-day series against Sri Lanka before Christmas was akin to putting a sticking plaster on a gaping wound because England are light years away from the dynamic, vibrant teams we have seen here. To hurl all the blame in the direction of Moores would be unfair but there is no question that his position must now come under serious scrutiny, as too will that of the man who re-appointed him in Paul Downton. Colin Graves does not become ECB chairman until May but he is not the sort of man to postpone a big decision and the coach and managing director may soon be caught up in the new broom that is sweeping through the English game. England batsman James Taylor reacts after he was dismissed during the 15-run defeat by Bangladesh . Moores faces an uncertain future following England's humiliating exit against Bangladesh . Dec 19 - Alastair Cook replaced by Eoin Morgan as England ODI captain . Jan 14 - England beat Prime Minister's XI by 60 runs as Ian Bell hits magnificent 187 . Jan 16 - Australia beat England by three wickets but Morgan hits 121 in first ODI since replacing Cook as captain . Jan 20 - England beat India by nine wickets . Jan 23 - Australia beat England by three wickets via a Steve Smith century . Jan 30 - England beat India by three wickets to set up tri-series final with Australia . Feb 1 - Same old, same old as Australia again beat England by 112 runs to win tri-series . Feb 9 - England beat West Indies by nine wickets in World Cup warm-up match . Feb 11 - Pakistan beat England by four wickets in final World Cup warm-up tie . Feb 14 - Australia beat England by 111 runs on opening day of World Cup . Feb 20 - New Zealand beat England by eight wickets as Peter Moores's men are crushed . Feb 22 - England beat Scotland by 119 runs as expected via 128 from Mooen Ali . Feb 28 - Sri Lanka beat shameful England by nine wickets for a third crushing defeat . 'There was no obvious team to pick because they're young players, they haven't played a lot of cricket. We've got nine guys who haven't been to a World Cup before. 'That's the reality of it. You make your choice, you pick the side you think is the best team, which we did, and we have to accept they didn't play well enough.' Shane Warne and Kevin Pietersen were among those criticising England on Twitter after their early elimination in the group stages. 'England had the wrong team, the wrong style of play and everyone could see it. Tonight's result is not a shock, I feel for Morgan. Coach is in trouble,' Warne tweeted. Pietersen added: 'I cannot believe this. I just cannot. But, well done Bangladesh! You deserved it! 'Do not say we haven't prioritised ODI cricket! We played a back-to-back Ashes to make sure England played six months of ODIs before this World Cup!' Gary Lineker, the former England striker, said: 'Bangladesh win! Congratulations to them. The good news is, England can't possibly get any worse.' And Piers Morgan wrote: 'What an absolute disgrace. [Paul] Downton and Moores have dragged English cricket into the sporting sewer with their petty, clueless incompetence. 'I want Downton and Moores sacked today and Kevin Pietersen restored to the team. This farce just reached its true, hideous nadir. 'I wouldn't trust Downton and Moores to run a ****ing bath, let alone the England cricket team.' Moores pictured after the defeat as he speaks with press in Adelaide about their World Cup exit . To highlight Moores immediate mention of data on television is not to take a cheap shot at a decent man who appears to be liked and respected by players who on the whole have let him and their country down here. By the time he gave a more considered press conference yesterday there was no mention of the statistics that seem to have weighed down even a free spirit in Eoin Morgan, who has been a huge disappointment as captain here. My gut feeling is that Moores will be given the summer before England think about replacing him but a personal view is that maybe his assistant Paul Farbrace, an Asia Cup and World Twenty20 winner with Sri Lanka before throwing in his lot with England, could take extra responsibility for limited-overs cricket. England are about to embark on a gruelling schedule of 17 Tests in 10 months and the danger is that one-day cricket will again be shoved to the bottom of England’s list of priorities unless a clear strategy is undertaken. The overwhelming favourite to succeed Moores if and when he goes is Jason Gillespie but he distanced himself from the role yesterday and there is no doubt that the Yorkshire coach and his family are happy and settled in Leeds. Joe Root (centre) exchanges words with Bangladesh captain Mashrafe Mortaza (left) at the Adelaide Oval . Bangladesh sealed a surprise win over England at the World Cup as Moores and his men suffered elimination . Gillespie has already turned down a role with his native Australia under Darren Lehmann and has been given permission by Yorkshire to coach a team, probably Adelaide, in next year’s Big Bash while staying at Headingley. The constant year-round slog of international cricket is making it harder for countries to attract the best coaches and former Yorkshire chairman Graves may need to be at his most persuasive if he wants to recruit his old county coach. Moores and Downton are not the only ones under the microscope. Morgan refused to say that he wanted to carry on as one-day captain yesterday and reiterated his intention to miss England’s one-day international against Ireland in May, their first of another ‘new’ era, to play in the IPL. Well, I am sorry but if he does want to continue then he needs to be with the team in his native Dublin, particularly as it will be impossible for England players touring West Indies next month to make the Ireland trip on May 8. The sheer volume of cricket means that the best way for England to catch up in 50-over cricket is to build a new young team of one-day players as different as possible to that which will contest Test cricket in the next year against West Indies, New Zealand, Australia, Pakistan and South Africa. Eoin Morgan looks to have been given the backing by Moores to continue as England's one-day captain . Alastair Cook (left) was devastated to be axed from 50-over cricket on the brink of his first World Cup . Ian Bell, who left England far too much to do against Bangladesh by getting out after scoring 62 off 83 balls, will surely bow out of one-day cricket after Friday’s dead rubber against Afghanistan while it is in the best interests of Jimmy Anderson and Stuart Broad for them to do the same. Joe Root was strongly considered for the one-day captaincy by England when they sacked Alastair Cook before they plumped for the out-of-form Morgan and I would give him the one-day job now and build a new team around him. It is certainly possible to envisage a squad led by Root and including Jos Buttler, who came so close to recuing England yesterday, Alex Hales, Moeen Ali, James Taylor, Ben Stokes, Jason Roy, James Vince, Sam Billings and Adil Rashid growing into an outfit capable of competing in the modern one-day world. But the seam bowling remains a huge worry, not least the absence of a quick left-armer. Bangladesh, worthy quarter-finalists now, had the fastest bowler on show yesterday in Rubel Hossain, who took four wickets, and that must be the first time they have ever had more pace at their disposal than England. The lack of variety in England’s bowling is one of the many reasons why they will be on their way home before the business end of this elongated tournament. And why they will be returning to the drawing board when they get there in their never-ending search for one-day success.

Possible Republican presidential candidate Lindsey Graham, the senior senator from South Carolina, is apologizing for a jab he made about House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi following Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress on Tuesday. At a private meeting with donors Graham alleged that plastic surgery was masking the House Minority leader's 'disgust' at the Israel leader's words. Rep. Xavier Becerra, left, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer, center, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, right, listen to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu address to a joint meeting of Congress in the House chamber at the U.S. Capitol on Tuesday. They appeared less than enthused as Netanyahu asked them not to approve the nuclear deal the Obama administration and its allies are negotiating with Iran . Later that afternoon Graham, pictured here on the floor of the House before Netanyahu's speech, made fun of Pelosi during a conversation with a donor, saying, 'Did you see Nancy Pelosi on the floor. Complete disgust. If you can get through all the surgeries, there’s disgust' During the joint address Pelosi and other members of Democratic leadership appeared less than enthused as Netanyahu asked them not to approve the nuclear deal the Obama administration and its allies are negotiating with Iran and to put crippling sanctions on the country. Afterward, Pelosi said in a statement she 'was near tears throughout' Netanyahu's speech because she was 'saddened by the insult to the intelligence of the United States' and 'by the condescension toward our knowledge of the threat posed by Iran and our broader commitment to preventing nuclear proliferation.' Later that afternoon Graham made fun of the California Democrat during a conversation with a donor, according to Bloomberg, saying, 'Did you see Nancy Pelosi on the floor. Complete disgust.' 'If you can get through all the surgeries, there’s disgust,' he remarked. Upon learning of Graham's comment, several of his Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate demanded that he retract the statement. If reports are 'accurate,' fellow South Carolinian James Clyburn said on Twitter, 'he owes her an apology.' 'What's disgusting are the horrific comments you made about the first woman Speaker of the House,' Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a close friend of Pelosi's, tweeted at Graham. Graham told NBC on Tuesday evening that while he found Pelosi's claim that she was near tears 'a bit disturbing' he shouldn't have insulted her appearance. 'I made a poor attempt at humor to talk about her reaction and for that I apologize,' he said. '[Netanyahu] is not the problem in the mid-east, it's the Iranians, and anyone who wants to focus on the Prime Minister of Israel I think has got their priorities wrong,' he added. Graham is a fierce opponent of the Obama administration's approach to foreign relations in the Middle East. He has said that he is 'testing the waters' for a presidential run, though he's not formally launched a campaign for the highest elected office in the nation.

It won't come as much a surprise for those who watch his masterful displays in La Liga every week, but Barcelona star Lionel Messi has been revealed as Europe's top dribbler by statistics looking at the continent's top five leagues. The Argentine forward tops the table for players taking on an opponent and making it past them whilst retaining the ball with 258 successful dribbles, beating Chelsea playmaker Eden Hazard by just four over the two-season period analysed. Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as the best player in the world alongside Messi, can't get close to his Ballon d'Or rival in these rankings though. He has completed less than half the number that Messi, Hazard and four other players have managed. Lionel Messi's tops this WhoScored table for successful dribbles in Europe's top five leagues . Messi tops the table for players taking on an opponent and making it past them whilst retaining the ball . Eden Hazard is second in the rankings, just four places behind Messi for his efforts with Chelsea . Cristiano Ronaldo missed out on the list, but having won the Ballon d'Or he's probably not too worried . Ronaldo managed just 99 dribbles over the same period, putting him outside the top 20 across Europe's top five leagues in the tables put together by WhoScored.com. Hazard, with 254 successful dribbles, is one of only two Barclays Premier League representatives in the top 10. He is joined by Raheem Sterling in joint-eighth spot with 172 to his name. The table seems to show a solid trend of short, explosive playmakers with Messi, Hazard and Sterling as prime examples. Raheem Sterling uses his explosive pace to try to get past Burnley's Ben Mee on Wednesday night . Bayern Munich pair Arjen Robben (left) and Franck Ribery (right) are two of six Bundesliga representatives . And Germany seems to be the place to be if you want to watch those kind of players - six of the top 10 ply their trade in the Bundesliga.

Up in the expensive seats, Steven Gerrard looked down on another fruitless appeal for a Liverpool penalty and blew out his cheeks. This was one of those days at Anfield. For all their improvement in the second half of the season, Liverpool are still capable of throwing in a performance like this from time to time. There are still days when the cogs in the machine don’t run smoothly, days when the absence of any kind of Plan B hurts Liverpool and hurts them badly. Blackburn were terrific here. They defended brilliantly, ran hard and stuck to a game plan devised by manager Gary Bowyer to deny Liverpool the space between the defensive and midfield lines that their playmakers love to work in. Blackburn defended stubbornly to stop players such as Philippe Coutinho (centre) from having an impact for Liverpool . Steven Gerrard (left) was in the stands watching the game at Anfield, as was former team-mate and Sportsmail columnist Jamie Carragher . Gerrard did not play for Liverpool due to injury but the supporters are desperate to get to Wembley in his final season at the club . Martin Skrtel (right) landed awkwardly and play was halted for eight minutes as he was treated by medical staff . Skrtel lies on the ground after contesting a header with the Blackburn Rovers forward Rudy Gestede . Emre Can (centre) stands over Skrtel before calling for medical assistance for his Liverpool team-mate . Skrtel was moving his arms as he was carried off on a stretcher in the 11th minute of Liverpool's FA Cup tie . A week earlier here at Anfield, Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City found it impossible to plug those gaps. As a result, Liverpool’s Brazilian Philippe Coutinho won that game almost on his own. Here, though, Blackburn found the key and, as a result, Liverpool ran out of ideas. The visitors’ formation squeezed the life out of Liverpool while their two central defenders Alex Baptiste and Matthew Kilgallon cleaned up everything that Brendan Rodgers’ team did manage to throw in to the penalty area. On the break, Blackburn were dangerous too. Without their much-discussed centre forward Josh King – who was injured - the Championship side relied heavily on the imposing figure of Rudy Gestede and he worried Liverpool’s back three all afternoon but especially in the first half. Perhaps Liverpool were unsettled by a nasty injury to their own defender Martin Skrtel in the very first minute. A header from Alex Baptiste (second left) brought a fine save from Simon Mignolet at the start of the second half . Mignolet (centre) made a superb save to tip the header from Baptiste away at the beginning of the second half . Kolo Toure (left) hit the back of the net in the first half but his strike was ruled out for offside . Toure (right) replaced the injured Skrtel and also hit the post with a header in the second half . Mario Balotelli came on in the second half for Liverpool but was unable to find a way through the Blackburn defence .

Subs not used: Spurr, Brown, Rhodes, Henry, Lenihan, Steele. Bookings: Cairney . Att: 43,820 . *Ratings by CHRIS WHEELER at Anfield . The Slovakian fell awkwardly in a challenge with Gestede and was treated for what looked like a neck injury for eight minutes. Happily he was okay by half-time and able to watch the rest of the game. No doubt he found it as frustrating as the majority crammed inside Anfield. Liverpool were not dreadful. They were the better team. But by their own improving standards, their football lacked crispness and rhythm and as such they found it difficult to ever gather momentum. Blackburn were actually the first to show after Skrtel’s injury and Gestede was the game’s most influential player for 25 minutes. The manner in which he forced Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet in to a mistake under a high ball seemed portentous while the dummy he sold Raheem Sterling to give Craig Conway a sight of goal on the overlap soon after was terrific. Sadly for Blackburn, Conway’s shot flew high and wide. There was the occasional moment of cohesion from the home team but far fewer than we would have expected. Liverpool may have had a penalty in the 19th minute when Kilgallon appeared to bundle over the largely ineffectual Adam Lallana in the penalty area. Did the defender’s toe just touch the ball first? Perhaps. That apart, there were a couple of long shots from Coutinho. After his recent success from distance, nobody could blame the Brazilian for having a go. On this occasion, his range was set too high, however. Skrtel’s replacement Toured did have the ball in the net in the 34th minute after a free-kick dropped invitingly to him six yards out but he was a yard offside. Then, during the eight extra minutes added for Skrtel’s injury, Lazar Markovic and Daniel Sturridge brought saves from Simon Eastwood. It was notable that they were the first two the Blackburn goalkeeper had been asked to make all half.

Raheem Sterling leaps over the challenge from Adam Henley (left) of Blackburn but the ball rolls out of play . After the interval, Liverpool did build pressure. As Blackburn’s energy levels dropped, they found it harder to break. Still, though, Blackburn had the best chance as Baptiste’s header from a corner in the 48th minute was brilliantly touched over by Mignolet. Beyond that fright, Liverpool’s football was undeniably quicker, neater and indeed more progressive. Still, though, they found it hard to penetrate the wall of blue. Indeed, all that Rodgers’ team really had to show for their efforts as the game reached the last 20 minutes was a shot by Sturridge that was blocked by Baptiste and a follow up from Coutinho that must have landed somewhere in the environs of Goodison Park. Blackburn manager Gary Bowyer shouts instructions to his players during the FA Cup game against Liverpool . Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers will be frustrated by his team's lacklustre performance on a frustrating afternoon . Amid all this, though, there was a more convincing penalty shout, Sturridge going down as Kilgallon sought to impede his run with an outstretched arm. It was the type of penalty appeal that generally tends to be ignored. Heaven knows why. The use of the arm by defenders is not in the rules. In the last ten minutes there were two more saves for Eastwood to make, one from substitute Mario Balotelli and one from Jordan Henderson. In all, Liverpool had 21 shots. That, however, suggests Liverpool were better than they actually were. There were some bright spots, such as the performance of Emre Can at the base of the midfield. The German has a superb passing range and it will be a surprise if he doesn’t develop in to a very good player. On this occasion, however, the glory was all Blackburn’s. They may have to be slightly more expansive when it comes to the replay in April but they deserved this draw and will relish 90 minutes against Liverpool at Ewood Park. By then Gerrard will expect to be back in the thick of it. If he wants to get to Wembley for his birthday FA Cup Final, he is going to have to do his bit.

(CNN)Growing up in Germany, everything Felix von der Osten learned about Native Americans came from the books of 19th-century German writer Karl May. May's most beloved characters, a noble Apache leader named Winnetou and his cowboy blood brother Old Shatterhand, are said to be more popular today in Germany than the works of Thomas Mann, the 20th-century Nobel Prize-winning author of "Death in Venice." It wasn't until von der Osten drove through South Dakota last year, bearing witness to modest homes and trailers on tribal land in the majestic Black Hills, that he realized how one-dimensional his perceptions were. Intrigued, the 25-year-old photographer began researching Native American history. What he learned about its brutal conquest and fraught modern existence inspired him to return to Indian Country to capture the good, the bad and the ugly. "I wanted to show a slice of life (through) the beauty and richness of the culture," he said. "I didn't want to do reportage. I wanted to do slow and thoughtful photographs, like historical documents." By chance he landed in Montana's Fort Belknap Indian Reservation, home to 7,000 members of the Gros Ventre (Aaniiih) and the Assiniboine (Nakoda) tribes on 675,147 acres of land near the Canadian border. His American girlfriend had distant relatives living there who supported his idea and invited him to stay in their home. His first stop upon arriving in October was to present his idea to the Fort Belknap tribal leadership. With their approval, he spent his first week walking around without his camera, introducing himself to tribal members and building relationships. "The most important thing was I sat down, listened and learned," he said. "I opened my ears and let them talk so they could teach me." Over time, they opened their homes to him and his camera. His choice of a Pentax 67 medium-format roll film camera forced him to carefully consider each shot, to "create images" in his head before taking them. It left him with a focused body of work. Social media . Follow @CNNPhotos on Twitter to join the conversation about photography. He captured sacred tribal rituals and ceremonies along with the more mundane, familiar aspects of life: the tribal basketball team, a horse grazing in a field, a girl sitting on a bunk bed with a stuffed pony, the inside of a casino. Through conversations with tribal members, he also learned of the harsh realities of life on the reservation, from the difficulties youths face in pursuing educational opportunities to the drug and alcohol addiction killing some members. He put the camera away for some of his most memorable experiences -- a sit in the sweat lodge, dinner with his host family -- the ones that formed lasting relationships and earned him the nickname "the man who crossed the ocean." By revealing just a slice, he hopes to arouse curiosity in viewers and inspire them to learn more "to connect the dots." It's something he plans to continue doing by returning this summer to learn and experience more. "The story's not finished," he said. "It's a big sensitive topic and you have to be very careful, and I want to be careful." Felix von der Osten is a German photographer. You can follow him on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Tumblr.

How do you cook sous vide?
|
Sealing the food in sturdy plastic bags retains juices and aroma that otherwise would be lost in the process. Placing the packaged food in a water bath, with the temperature set at the desired final cooking temperature of the food, prevents overcooking, because the food cannot get hotter than the bath it is in, as in bain-marie.
As a result of precise temperature control of the bath and the fact that the bath temperature is the same as the target cooking temperature, very precise control of cooking can be achieved. Additionally, temperature, and thus cooking, can be very even throughout the food in sous vide cooking, even with irregularly shaped and very thick items, given enough time.
|
By contrast, in conventional high-heat cooking, such as oven roasting or grilling, the food is exposed to heat levels that are much higher than the desired internal cooking temperature, and it must be removed from the high heat prior to reaching the desired cooking temperature. If the food is removed from the heat too late, it becomes overcooked, and if it is removed too early, it is undercooked.
The use of temperatures much lower than those used for conventional cooking is an essential feature of sous vide. When cooking meat, tough collagen in connective tissue can be denatured into gelatin, without heating the meat's proteins high enough that they denature to a degree that the texture toughens and moisture is exuded from the meat.
In contrast, soft vegetables are often considered overcooked. Low-temperature cooking allows plant matter to remain more succulent, as the cell walls do not burst. Cooking vegetables at temperatures below the boiling point of water allows them to be thoroughly cooked (and pasteurized, if necessary) while maintaining a firm or somewhat crisp texture. While the cell walls will generally not burst, the depolymerization of the pectic polysaccharides that connect the vegetable cells together and the gelatinisation of starch in the vegetable can be achieved without overcooking.
From a culinary viewpoint, the exclusion of air is secondary, but this has practical importance. It allows cooked food to be stored, still sealed and refrigerated, for considerable times, which is especially useful for the catering industry, and it excludes oxygen from food that requires long cooking and is susceptible to oxidation, e.g., fat on meat, which may become rancid with prolonged exposure to air. It also improves the transfer of heat between the water bath and food, without the thermal insulating properties of any trapped air in the bag.
Apart from ensuring uniform cooking, sous vide cooking facilitates development of desired organoleptic flavors and limits off flavors due to oxidation

Summarize Tiger Woods professional golf career.
|
Eldrick Tont "Tiger" Woods (born December 30, 1975) is an American professional golfer. He is tied for first in PGA Tour wins, ranks second in men's major championships, and holds numerous golf records. Woods is widely regarded as one of the greatest golfers of all time and is one of the most famous athletes in modern history. He is an inductee of the World Golf Hall of Fame.
Following an outstanding junior, college, and amateur golf career, Woods turned professional in 1996 at the age of 20. By the end of April 1997, he had won three PGA Tour events in addition to his first major, the 1997 Masters, which he won by 12 strokes in a record-breaking performance. He reached number one in the Official World Golf Ranking for the first time in June 1997, less than a year after turning pro. Throughout the first decade of the 21st century, Woods was the dominant force in golf. He was the top-ranked golfer in the world from August 1999 to September 2004 (264 consecutive weeks) and again from June 2005 to October 2010 (281 consecutive weeks). During this time, he won 13 of golf's major championships.
The next decade of Woods's career was marked by comebacks from personal problems and injuries. He took a self-imposed hiatus from professional golf from December 2009 to early April 2010 in an attempt to resolve marital issues with his wife at the time, Elin. Woods admitted to multiple infidelities, and the couple eventually divorced. He fell to number 58 in the world rankings in November 2011 before ascending again to the number-one ranking between March 2013 and May 2014. However, injuries led him to undergo four back surgeries between 2014 and 2017. Woods competed in only one tournament between August 2015 and January 2018, and he dropped off the list of the world's top 1,000 golfers. On his return to regular competition, Woods made steady progress to the top of the game, winning his first tournament in five years at the Tour Championship in September 2018 and his first major in 11 years at the 2019 Masters.
Woods has held numerous golf records. He has been the number one player in the world for the most consecutive weeks and for the greatest total number of weeks of any golfer in history. He has been awarded PGA Player of the Year a record 11 times and has won the Byron Nelson Award for lowest adjusted scoring average a record eight times. Woods has the record of leading the money list in ten different seasons. He has won 15 professional major golf championships (trailing only Jack Nicklaus, who leads with 18) and 82 PGA Tour events (tied for first all time with Sam Snead). Woods leads all active golfers in career major wins and career PGA Tour wins. Woods is the fifth (after Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player and Jack Nicklaus) player to achieve the career Grand Slam, and the youngest to do so. He is also the second golfer out of two (after Nicklaus) to achieve a career Grand Slam three times.
Woods has won 18 World Golf Championships. He was also part of the American winning team for the 1999 Ryder Cup. In May 2019, Woods was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Donald Trump, the fourth golfer to receive the honor.
On February 23, 2021, Woods was hospitalized in serious but stable condition after a single-car collision and underwent emergency surgery to repair compound fractures sustained in his right leg in addition to a shattered ankle. In an interview with Golf Digest in November 2021, Woods indicated that his full-time career as a professional golfer was over, although he would continue to play "a few events per year". He returned to the PGA Tour for the first time since the car crash at the 2022 Masters.

(CNN)Former male model Elo used to make a living from his good looks. But after modeling for 10 years the self-confessed car nut had earned enough money to indulge his passion. He started by buying several cars, as well as customizing them for clients across the world, and in 2001 he founded the London Motor Museum. Today is has nearly 250 automobiles. "When I was modeling, the best part of my modeling career was (that) I was expressing what my client wanted me to do," he says. "I still express what (clients) want me to express, but this time in a three-dimensional form with an engine and an exhaust and some wheels. And that is ultimate satisfaction." During his fashion model days, Elo owned seven cars and would drive a different one each day of the week. What started as a passion gradually demanded more and more of his time, and after a while Elo felt that he came to a crossroads. "I had to weigh between continuing modeling or stopping modeling to just do cars. So I chose the latter," he says. "My friends told me 'You're absolutely crazy, look at all these beautiful women, look at all this traveling around the world.' And I'm like 'Are you out of your mind? Look at that beautiful steel!' That's the best." Today, the car-lover's collection includes gems such as the 1937 Lincoln Zephyr, and a low-riding customized Cadillac which used to belong to Snoop Dogg -- the so-called "Snoop de Ville". But what gives Elo the most satisfaction is something less material: the feeling of freedom. "When I drive a car, I feel like I am leaving all my worries behind, and it's just staying behind whilst I'm going forward," he says.

Given these paragraphs about Multiomics, what is panomics?
|
Multiomics, multi-omics, integrative omics, "panomics" or "pan-omics" is a biological analysis approach in which the data sets are multiple "omes", such as the genome, proteome, transcriptome, epigenome, metabolome, and microbiome (i.e., a meta-genome and/or meta-transcriptome, depending upon how it is sequenced); in other words, the use of multiple omics technologies to study life in a concerted way. By combining these "omes", scientists can analyze complex biological big data to find novel associations between biological entities, pinpoint relevant biomarkers and build elaborate markers of disease and physiology. In doing so, multiomics integrates diverse omics data to find a coherently matching geno-pheno-envirotype relationship or association. The OmicTools service lists more than 99 softwares related to multiomic data analysis, as well as more than 99 databases on the topic.
Systems biology approaches are often based upon the use of panomic analysis data. The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) defines panomics as referring to "the interaction of all biological functions within a cell and with other body functions, combining data collected by targeted tests ... and global assays (such as genome sequencing) with other patient-specific information."
Single-cell multiomics
A branch of the field of multiomics is the analysis of multilevel single-cell data, called single-cell multiomics. This approach gives us an unprecedent resolution to look at multilevel transitions in health and disease at the single cell level. An advantage in relation to bulk analysis is to mitigate confounding factors derived from cell to cell variation, allowing the uncovering of heterogeneous tissue architectures.
Methods for parallel single-cell genomic and transcriptomic analysis can be based on simultaneous amplification or physical separation of RNA and genomic DNA. They allow insights that cannot be gathered solely from transcriptomic analysis, as RNA data do not contain non-coding genomic regions and information regarding copy-number variation, for example. An extension of this methodology is the integration of single-cell transcriptomes to single-cell methylomes, combining single-cell bisulfite sequencing to single cell RNA-Seq. Other techniques to query the epigenome, as single-cell ATAC-Seq and single-cell Hi-C also exist.
A different, but related, challenge is the integration of proteomic and transcriptomic data. One approach to perform such measurement is to physically separate single-cell lysates in two, processing half for RNA, and half for proteins. The protein content of lysates can be measured by proximity extension assays (PEA), for example, which use DNA-barcoded antibodies. A different approach uses a combination of heavy-metal RNA probes and protein antibodies to adapt mass cytometry for multiomic analysis.
Multiomics and machine learning
In parallel to the advances in highthroughput biology, machine learning applications to biomedical data analysis are flourishing. The integration of multi-omics data analysis and machine learning has led to the discovery of new biomarkers. For example, one of the methods of the mixOmics project implements a method based on sparse Partial Least Squares regression for selection of features (putative biomarkers).

(CNN)Singer Angie Stone was arrested Tuesday near Atlanta and charged with domestic aggravated assault, according to CNN affiliate WGCL. Officials said Stone got into a tussle with her daughter, Diamond Stone, on Monday at her home in Lithonia, Georgia. "A police report quoted her daughter as saying Angie Stone came into her room demanding her to clean it up. Diamond Stone said her mother also told her to control her children, who were running around the house half-naked," WGCL reported. "A fight broke out, according to police. Diamond Stone could not remember who lashed out first, the report stated. She said her mom struck her with a metal stand, knocking out her front teeth, police said." Stone is known for her R&B hits "Wish I Didn't Miss You," "Brotha," and "I Wanna Thank You." Diamond Stone was not charged in relation to the incident. A call to Stone's representatives was not immediately returned.

How does the time of sunrise vary from spring to summer?
|
Although the Sun appears to "rise" from the horizon, it is actually the Earth's motion that causes the Sun to appear. The illusion of a moving Sun results from Earth observers being in a rotating reference frame; this apparent motion caused many cultures to have mythologies and religions built around the geocentric model, which prevailed until astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus formulated his heliocentric model in the 16th century.
Astronomically, sunrise occurs for only an instant: the moment at which the upper limb of the Sun appears tangent to the horizon. However, the term sunrise commonly refers to periods of time both before and after this point:
Twilight, the period in the morning during which the sky is brightening, but the Sun is not yet visible. The beginning of morning twilight is called astronomical dawn.
The period after the Sun rises during which striking colors and atmospheric effects are still seen.
The timing of sunrise varies throughout the year and is also affected by the viewer's latitude and longitude, altitude, and time zone. These changes are driven by the axial tilt of Earth, daily rotation of the Earth, the planet's movement in its annual elliptical orbit around the Sun, and the Earth and Moon's paired revolutions around each other. The analemma can be used to make approximate predictions of the time of sunrise.
In late winter and spring, sunrise as seen from temperate latitudes occurs earlier each day, reaching its earliest time near the summer solstice; although the exact date varies by latitude. After this point, the time of sunrise gets later each day, reaching its latest sometime around the winter solstice. The offset between the dates of the solstice and the earliest or latest sunrise time is caused by the eccentricity of Earth's orbit and the tilt of its axis, and is described by the analemma, which can be used to predict the dates.
Variations in atmospheric refraction can alter the time of sunrise by changing its apparent position. Near the poles, the time-of-day variation is exaggerated, since the Sun crosses the horizon at a very shallow angle and thus rises more slowly.
Accounting for atmospheric refraction and measuring from the leading edge slightly increases the average duration of day relative to night. The sunrise equation, however, which is used to derive the time of sunrise and sunset, uses the Sun's physical center for calculation, neglecting atmospheric refraction and the non-zero angle subtended by the solar disc.

What color is Perpetual Spinach?
|
"Chard or Swiss chard (/tʃɑːrd/; Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris, Cicla Group and Flavescens Group) is a green leafy vegetable. In the cultivars of the Flavescens Group, the leaf stalks are large and often prepared separately from the leaf blade; the Cicla Group is the leafy spinach beet. The leaf blade can be green or reddish; the leaf stalks are usually white, yellow or red.
Chard, like other green leafy vegetables, has highly nutritious leaves. Chard has been used in cooking for centuries, but because it is the same species as beetroot, the common names that cooks and cultures have used for chard may be confusing; it has many common names, such as silver beet, perpetual spinach, beet spinach, seakale beet, or leaf beet."

(CNN)With the ongoing protests over the shooting death by police of black teenager Tony Robinson in Madison, Wisconsin, the racist chanting of fraternity members at the University of Oklahoma, and now the inexcusable shootings of two police officers in Ferguson, Missouri, it's safe to say that the always-strained race relations in this country are being pushed to the breaking point. And the point with the most stress is the delicate relationship between police forces and the minority communities that they serve. To approach things from a more positive angle, the situation is dire enough that we absolutely have to try to uncover the good and not dwell on the negative. The best time to make things better is when it seems that everything is getting worse. This unacceptable status quo can motivate us to take the necessary steps to address the problems, which are not going to disappear unless we honestly deal with them. When things are going wrong, responsible people can begin by saying the right things. President Obama said on Twitter, "Violence against police is unacceptable. Our prayers are with the officers in MO. Path to justice is one all of us must travel together." The Congressional Black Caucus issued a statement saying, "The CBC understands the frustrations in Ferguson, but a response of violence is not the answer during this transformative moment in our country." And Attorney General Eric Holder noted, "This was not someone trying to bring healing to Ferguson. ... This was a damn punk, a punk who was trying to sow discord." For the most part, authorities in Missouri have been careful not to blame the peaceful protesters. Surely, not all responses have been as measured, but the gravity of the situation will hopefully bring out the best in people. While we pause for a moment to let passions cool, we can use the time to consider how best to move forward with common resolve instead of mutual recrimination. The way forward is to engage citizens in the community -- to bring them into the room when decisions are being made about policing policies and procedures to make sure that those policies and procedures address the community's real concerns. And it's about putting law enforcement officers in the community as welcome members of that community -- as guarantors of the safety and security of the people instead of intimidating outside forces. This approach would benefit both the community and the police. I'm certain that officers would rather be appreciated and valued by the people they serve than be pressured to fill city coffers by issuing unnecessary citations, as noted in the DOJ report on Ferguson. Nobody becomes a cop because they secretly long to be a collection agent. One of the easiest ways to integrate law enforcement officers into the community is to physically put them on the sidewalks by increasing the number of cops who work good old-fashioned foot beats. Officers who view the world through a patrol car window are separated from the people they serve by more than a sheet of glass. Being encased in a vehicle alienates a person from the world around them. The cop on the beat is not just a quaint notion from old movies, he can be a bridge between police forces and the people they serve. Another idea is to give cops bicycles, which has brought so many law enforcement officials in touch with other cyclists in the community. Lack of community policing is one of the shortcomings cited in the DOJ report on Ferguson. In areas where the gulf between law enforcement and the neighborhood is too wide, mediators can be used to initially bring the two sides together. After all, both sides ultimately have the same goal of safe and peaceful neighborhoods. Both police departments and members of the community can take proactive steps to come together on more than a purely professional level. A tech services company in the South Bronx recently hosted a video game competition with police officers and residents of the neighborhood. The event left local teenagers saying things about the cops like "basically they're like us." Ultimately, police should be considered members of the community -- a notion that needs to be encouraged by police departments and neighborhoods alike. Communities can make the local cops part of their neighborhood celebrations. New Orleans Police Det. Winston Harbin became a minor Internet celebrity for his impromptu dancing with local people during Mardi Gras. Besides just being fun, Harbin's interaction with the community helped foster the type of mutual appreciation and respect that are essential to effective community policing. Fear and mistrust among minority communities toward police are the legacy of many decades of racism, unequal treatment, bias, subjective stereotyping and lack of opportunity. It is times like now, when that anger and resentment are boiling, that we address it.

A celebrity neighbour row has taken a new twist after Jimmy Page hired architects and engineers to say how Robbie Williams' basement pool could destroy his 'irreplaceable' home. Led Zeppelin veteran Mr Page, 71, has sounded the fears for his Grade I listed house in Holland Park, West London - a stone's throw from the Take That star Mr Williams' £17.5million mansion. The pop star, who bought Michael Winner's former 46-room home in 2013, first sparked Mr Page's ire last month with plans for an extension including a lift and recording studio. Not a whole lotta love: Former Take That singer Robbie Williams wants to extend his London mansion (left) - which allegedly could harm the Grade I lsited home (right) of his neighbour, Led Zeppelin veteran Jimmy Page . Take that, Robbie! The singer (left) has received a fresh complaint from his neighbour Jimmy Page (right) Then Mr Wiliams submitted plans for a two-storey basement with a swimming pool - prompting drastic action from Mr Page, who has been in his house for 43 years. The Led Zeppelin guitarist hired three firms - architects, structural engineers and town planners - to prepare three separate reports on why the development should be blocked. His biggest fear is that vibrations from the building works could harm his 1870s home, which he describes as a 'masterpiece'. Over the years he has conserved the house as a 'custodian' and claims his restorative works have been labelled 'exemplary' by English Heritage. Described as one of the most important homes in the borough, the red-brick tower house was saved from demolition in the 1960s following a campaign led by John Betjeman and Evelyn Waugh. In his latest objection to Kensington and Chelsea Council, Mr Page wrote: 'Similar schemes have been carried out on other properties in the area locally and each time the level of vibration cause during the works has caused concern about the effect on decorative finishes of [my] house. Stairway to bedlam: Robbie Williams's latest plans include a basement complete with a swimming pool, right . Williams bought the house - which is the former home of Michael Winner - with his wife Ayda Field in 2013 . 'The work now proposed is much nearer than other major excavations carried out so far and the consequences for the building fabric and decorative finishes... may well be catastrophic if this project is allowed to proceed.' Mr Page's concerns have been supported by a report carried out on his behalf by historical building consultants Andrew Townsend Architects. Mr Townsend, who has been practising as an architect for nearly 30 years, described Mr Page's house as 'one of the most important houses built in this country in the nineteenth century'. 'Excessive vibration from building works to the adjoining property could have disastrous effects on these decorative finishes', he wrote. His report added that it was possible the 'hand-made brickwork' boundary wall between the two stars' houses would collapse. Surveyors from civil engineering firm Clive Hudson Associates wrote that the home was 'designed by William Burges, one of the greatest architects of the 19th century, as his home and contains original and irreplaceable interiors.' Mr Williams' house's main bedroom, pictured during the time the late Michael Winner lived at the property . Williams bought the house in 2013, after the director's death, and is now keen to renovate the property . The west London mansion, pictured in 2011 when Winner tried to sell it, includes a swimming pool room . They added: 'These unparalleled interiors are of national significance and, we believe, are at serious risk if the applicant's proposals (as they currently stand) are accepted.' And the Led Zeppelin guitarist included a lengthy report from town planners Bell Cornwell, which detailed how the plans allegedly fail to meet council recommendations. The 41-year-old pop singer has said he is simply trying to turn his mansion into a modern family home. But his plans have also upset another wealthy neighbour, Marks & Spencer heir Jonathan Sieff. Mr Sieff wrote to Kensington and Chelsea Council to complain about Mr Williams’s request to install air conditioning units at the bottom of his garden, which backs onto Mr Sieff’s property. Plans on the local council's website show the extent to which Williams plans to re-tile his home's roof . The great-great grandson of Mr Marks is worried the machines’ noise will detract from his quality of life. He wrote that the three units together will produce a constant sound of 43.5dB, ‘which is nearly the same comparison as an adult speaking’. Another complaint has come to the council despite being 10,000 miles away in Melbourne, Australia. Despite the strongly-worded objections, one person sent a letter of support to the council. Alan Dargue, from Yorkshire, wrote: 'As the custodian of several listed buildings and a scheduled ancient monument, it is my firm belief that heritage assets are best preserved by their continued use even if this means altering them significantly in order to meet their occupier's needs.' The council is expected to make its decision on the initial plans by the end of this month. Mr Williams and Mr Page have previously declined to comment.

(CNN)Was the Middle East better off under dictatorships? It is certainly tempting to think so when one looks at conflicts in the region today, from Yemen to Libya to Syria. Those three countries have followed different trajectories since the start of the Arab Spring in 2011, but what they have in common now is instability that is not likely to be overcome in the short term. While this instability is making the West -- particularly the United States -- uncomfortable, it is also a direct result of the West's own stance towards dictatorships in the region prior to and during the Arab Spring. The West's shortsightedness in handling the Middle East throughout its modern history has directly contributed to its current devastation. Before 2011, what the West most valued in the Middle East was stability rather than democracy. Arab dictatorships were tolerated for decades despite their cruelty because they served Western economic, political, and security interests. In Egypt, Hosni Mubarak was seen as the bulwark of peace with Israel. In Libya, a reformed Moammar Gadhafi was courted for potential investment and trade agreements. In Syria, Bashar al-Assad was a predictable leader who maintained the Golan Heights as a conflict-free zone. In Yemen, Ali Abdullah Saleh was regarded as an ally against al Qaeda. Dictatorships kept the status quo manageable. Government suppression of activism and of the alternative voices of civil society and independent media meant that top-down decisions were rarely contested. This pretty much guaranteed that Western interests would be served without too many complications. In return, Arab dictators enjoyed Western financial and military aid and political reassurances. Yemen was the epitome of this dynamic. Saleh courted and was courted by American diplomats who turned a blind eye to his transgressions, from arms smuggling to forcing new businesses to include him as a "partner" so that he could ensure a cut in the profits, while most Yemenis lived below the bread line. READ MORE: How we got here in Yemen . Saleh's value was in engaging in the "war on terror" through allowing American drones to strike al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The fact that he used this engagement as an excuse to ask for military assistance for Yemen -- which in reality was used to equip what would become a private army -- was considered a small price to pay by the United States. When the reality of living under dictatorships became exposed with the Arab Spring, the West could no longer ignore it and had to publicly declare support for the uprisings. But the West did not have a long-term strategy for handling the aftermath of dictatorships -- and the results have been catastrophic. Libya saw hasty international military intervention without a vision for stabilizing the country, and today is falling apart. Syria saw diplomatic toing and froing that eventually dragged the West into a messy war. Yemen was for a while thought of as an acceptable compromise because of the Gulf Cooperation Council's initiative that ended the uprising through a negotiated transition from Saleh to his deputy Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi. But the long-term implications for this transition were ignored and Yemen today is paying the price. Yemen summarizes all the ills of dictatorships and their handling by foreign patrons. The West was naïve to think that Saleh would simply accept his removal from power. In an ironic turn of events, he has found in the Houthi rebels-- who had been marginalized under his rule and became even more so under Hadi -- an unlikely ally to regain influence. Saudi Arabia was also naïve in thinking that Houthi rule in northern Yemen would be better than having a political presence for the Muslim Brotherhood -- the Kingdom's staunchest political foe -- in Sanaa. The Saudis and the West ignored the simmering sectarian tensions between the Zaidi Houthis and the Sunni tribes of Yemen, not to mention the popular anger at U.S.-led drone attacks that sometimes killed civilians. They also ignored Iran's rising ambitions; why would the Houthis -- Iran's allies -- limit themselves to northern Yemen if they could also expand southwards and rule the whole country? The situation in Yemen today shows that even though the status quo under dictatorships may have appeared stable, beneath the surface volcanoes were preparing to erupt. Dictators may keep a country secure, but they do that at the expense of their own people. They may support the West's interests, but they will turn against them whenever their own interests are threatened. Although many today lament that the Arab Spring has turned into an Arab Winter, the conflicts emerging across the Middle East are largely the result of the political, economic, and social ills of dictatorships and the conditions that had sustained them. They have come to the surface because the lid has been lifted. But the current misery in the Middle East still does not mean that the region was better off under dictatorships. The aftermath of dictatorships is always messy, and democratic transition is never linear. Those with nostalgia for the days of Arab strongmen should remember that autocratic regimes plant the seed of future unrest and therefore only offer false, temporary security -- even if "temporary" takes a few decades to pass.

(CNN)President Barack Obama shared jokes about pot and Hillary Clinton's email controversy at the annual Gridiron Club dinner in Washington on Saturday. The club's dinner brings together Washington's media elite, with noteworthy politicians typically attending, as well. Despite being held by a media organization that raises scholarship funds for journalism students, the dinners are generally closed to cameras. Organizers only allowed a select few pool reporters to enter while the President spoke. The lack of media glare allows guests to let some of their guard down, perhaps unleashing a few more jokes than they might if the cameras were rolling. At one point Obama, clad in a white tie, predicted he would get more laughs this year than in the past. "I'm not saying I'm any funnier. I'm saying weed is now legal in D.C.," he said. Voters in the District of Columbia legalized small amounts of marijuana last year, much to the chagrin of some in Congress. The President also touched on the controversy over the archiving of Clinton's emails while she was secretary of state. Obama lamented that while he was once a tech-savvy candidate, Clinton now seemed more up to speed. "Now I'm yesterday's news, and Hillary has got a server in her house. I didn't even know you could have one of those in your house. I am so far behind. Did you know that? I would have gotten one," he joked. The domain name for Clinton's private email address was @clintonemail.com. Obama wasn't the only politician attending this year's dinner. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker also dropped in. He's of course rumored to be in contention to run for president in 2016. Walker, a Republican, acknowledged some headlines of his own, like when Rudy Giuliani said at a Walker event last month that he doesn't think Obama loves America. To date, Walker hadn't said whether he agreed with Giuliani or not. "I want to get this out of the way once and for all. I believe President Obama loves America and every single American in it. Except for Rudy Giuliani," Walker said, according to a transcript provided by his staff. "If I did not love America, I wouldn't have moved here from Kenya," Obama later countered in a joking reference to unsubstantiated theories that he wasn't born in the United States. Every president since 1885 except for Grover Cleveland has attended the 130-year-old organization's dinner. Obama has attended three times as president and last attended back in 2013.

He is prone to misfiring and, according to football fans, has rarely been out of first gear in recent months. But that has not stopped Premier League striker Steven Fletcher looking very pleased with himself as he took delivery of a £260,000 supercar. For long-suffering Sunderland supporters the photograph of the £40,000-a-week Scottish international and his 217mph Lamborghini Aventador was a blatant own goal – and they were not slow to put the boot in. Scroll down for video . Aventador: Steven Fletcher, who has scored just seven times in two years for Sunderland, suffered a Twitter backlash after the photograph of him with the supercar on the driveway of his home went viral . Couple: Fletcher (right) moved to a £670,000 five-bedroom home in County Durham with his beauty queen partner Rachel Monaghan (left), 24, in October 2013, and they live there with their daughter Darcy-Mae, one . Seven goals in two seasons: Fletcher (left) vies for the ball with Aston Villa's Jores Okore (right) during his Sunderland side's 4-0 Premier League defeat at the Stadium of Light on March 14 . They said the car was undeserved given Fletcher’s poor performances, especially as the picture was taken days before Sunderland suffered a 4-0 thrashing. The club is 17th in the Premier League after winning just four of 30 league games this season, scoring only 23 goals in the process – the league’s second lowest. And Fletcher – who cost £12million – has rarely troubled the scoreboard. Dozens of fans shared a mock message on Twitter reading: ‘Steven Fletcher: two seasons, seven goals, one new Lamborghini Aventador.’ Janet Rowan, from the Sunderland Supporters’ Association, said: ‘We know footballers have these big flash cars. I just think the timing was really appalling and I can really understand the way that people have felt about this. Showing his moves: Fletcher (centre) was among Sunderland players who took to the catwalk for the Foundation of Light's annual charity fashion show at the Stadium of Light in November 2013 . Comparisons: Birmingham fan Michael Jabbari quoted a message from parody account BBC Sporf in a tweet, which said: 'Steven Fletcher: two seasons, seven goals, one new Lamborghini Aventador' Unimpressed: In response to the photo, Sunderland fan JamesTheMackem posted on Twitter that it was 'the most undeserved Lambo for a football player, ever' ‘To see someone taking possession of a car of that value, when most of the fans who go to the game are on a pittance, it was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back.’ The footballer’s agent said it was the firm that sold the car that had posted the picture online. Scott Fisher said: ‘It wasn’t Steven that put the picture up. The company who were doing advertising on it done it. I don’t know what the problem is and what people are getting excited about.’ The background of the picture shows another luxury car – a Bentley – in the drive of the 27-year-old’s £670,000 home in Durham. Another online critic, Jamesthemackem, wrote: Steven Fletcher has a Lamborghini, the most undeserved Lambo for a football player, ever.’ Jack Liddell posted on Twitter: ‘Tell me how Steven Fletcher (a striker) can score seven goals in two seasons yet have earned a Lamborghini Aventador and a Bentley Continental.’ Fletcher has commanded more than £20million in transfer fees and is known to have a liking for luxury vehicles. He moved to the five-bedroom home in County Durham with his beauty-queen partner Rachel Monaghan, 24, in October 2013. Around then he reportedly bought a £50,000 Mercedes 4x4 for the former Miss Scotland finalist. They have a daughter called Darcy-Mae, aged one. Fletcher has struggled for form at Sunderland. He only managed three goals last season and four so far this campaign.

Two years after his death, a remarkable twist of fate has meant a loving Navy father's message has finally reached his 10-year-old son. Joseph Torrez passed away two years ago, aged 41, after succumbing to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, an incurable neurological disorder. The rapidly-progressing terminal illness eats away at the brain - causing dementia, memory loss, anxiety and psychosis - and affects motor skills and physical movements. Rowan Torrez, now 10, received the postcard (pictured) in the mail at the weekend, almost exactly two years after his father's death . Rowan and his father Joseph play together when he was a toddler. The young boy was his father's pride and joy, his mother Julie Van Stone said . Rowan (pictured) said he remembers his father as a 'very good person' Prior to the onset of the deadly disease, he moved away from his son Rowan, 10, to Boston, to gain two Masters degrees at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 9News reported. And while studying or travelling home, he sent countless postcards to his only son reminding him how much he missed him. Now, just days away from the two-year anniversary of his death, his son Rowan has received an incredible gift in the mail. It was a postcard, dated June 10, 2007, which read: 'Hello from Pennsylvania. I love you, and I miss you so much. See you soon. Love, Daddy.' It was a touching moment for Rowan, who remembers his father as a 'very good person' and a good father and, as he told the broadcaster, a fitting final goodbye.

Which countries besides the five recognized Nuclear Weapons States have acquired, or are presumed to have acquired, nuclear weapons?
|
Nuclear proliferation is the spread of nuclear weapons, fissionable material, and weapons-applicable nuclear technology and information to nations not recognized as "Nuclear Weapon States" by the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, commonly known as the Non-Proliferation Treaty or NPT. Proliferation has been opposed by many nations with and without nuclear weapons, as governments fear that more countries with nuclear weapons will increase the possibility of nuclear warfare (up to and including the so-called countervalue targeting of civilians with nuclear weapons), de-stabilize international or regional relations, or infringe upon the national sovereignty of nation states.
Four countries besides the five recognized Nuclear Weapons States have acquired, or are presumed to have acquired, nuclear weapons: India, Pakistan, North Korea, and Israel. None of these four is a party to the NPT, although North Korea acceded to the NPT in 1985, then withdrew in 2003 and conducted its first nuclear test in 2006. One critique of the NPT is that the treaty is discriminatory in the sense that only those countries that tested nuclear weapons before 1968 are recognized as nuclear weapon states while all other states are treated as non-nuclear-weapon states who can only join the treaty if they forswear nuclear weapons.
Research into the development of nuclear weapons was initially undertaken during World War II by the United States (in cooperation with the United Kingdom and Canada), Germany, Japan, and the USSR. The United States was the first and is the only country to have used a nuclear weapon in war, when it used two bombs against Japan in August 1945. After surrendering to end the war, Germany and Japan ceased to be involved in any nuclear weapon research. In August 1949, the USSR tested a nuclear weapon, becoming the second country to detonate a nuclear bomb. The United Kingdom first tested a nuclear weapon in October 1952. France first tested a nuclear weapon in 1960. The People's Republic of China detonated a nuclear weapon in 1964. India conducted its first nuclear test in 1974, which prompted Pakistan to develop its own nuclear program and, when India conducted a second series of nuclear tests in 1998, Pakistan followed with a series of tests of its own. In 2006, North Korea conducted its first nuclear test.

Not quite as famous as ‘one-nil to the Arsenal’ was in its day, granted. But one-nil is ‘the Spain Scoreline’. It’s the margin via which, according to the scorer Andrés Iniesta, Spain regained self-esteem and belief by winning at Old Trafford in 2007. Beating England, to those who were charged by Luis Aragonés with installing a ‘new’ form of play, put La Roja on the map again, Iniesta told me. Italy and France both followed months later — old foes, bogey teams. One-nil, one-nil. Spain on the march. Alvaro Morata capped his Spain debut with the winner against Ukraine on Friday night . One-nil, the scoreline, against the USA which saw Spain booed out of the country before Euro 2008. One-nil, the scoreline which gave them a technical knockout against Germany in the Final a couple of weeks later — narrow margin, total control. Champions. Portugal, Paraguay, Germany, Holland — four games, four goals, four clean sheets. One-nil to La Roja, world champions 2010. They had it within their repertoire to hit threes, fours, fives. But the single-goal win was a trademark. Own the ball, own the midfield, get the advantage, never look like conceding. But, Friday night in Seville at the beginning of Semana Santa (Holy Week) was something different. One-nil over Ukraine. A record 97th international match without conceding for ‘Saint’ Iker Casillas. A debut goal, after only 38 competitive minutes, for Álvaro Morata. In touch with Group C leaders Slovakia, who are the next home opponents — in Oviedo in September. The bare bones look good. The full X-ray much less so. Morata has all the hallmarks of an old style centre-forward who finishes . On another night, one of those ‘accident nights’ which hit every team every so often, Spain would have lost this one. On another night, Ruslan Rotan would have had a hat-trick. On this night, there was the sight of the Marquis del Bosque, for whom the game left ‘a bad taste in the mouth’, throwing his hands up in the air at the naivety and imprecision of the second half and roaring at his team: ‘What are you playing at lads?’ Transition. It can be a glorious, strategic, rewarding process — or an unmanaged, inglorious, frustrating decline. Quite where Spain are in that process is debatable. For seven years between 2007 and 2014, they dictated. But, just as when all dictatorships are overthrown, the subjects have had a good time stamping on the statues. Brazil in the Confederations Cup Final, Holland at the World Cup — La Roja were to be bullied, pushed around, made to chase, pressed to within an inch of their lives. The striker has struck up a 'thing' with Andrea Pirlo at Juventus . But there’s no doubt that renovation is afoot. Isco, Real Madrid’s gem of a midfielder, should have been at the World Cup, should probably have been a starter. Koke, dynamic, aggressive, intelligent — the heartbeat of an Atlético Madrid side which won the Spanish title and came within seconds of winning the Champions League — is now a fixture. Debuts have been given to Diego Costa, Juan Bernat, Paco Alcácer and David de Gea, while everyone waits for Javi Martínez and Thiago Alcántara to get fit. And stay fit. Yet Spain, Europe’s reigning champions, are fighting for their dignity and automatic qualification from this group because they could not control a 1-1 situation in Slovakia last year. They are sore and should be contemplating this midweek’s friendly against Holland with queries in their minds because they could neither augment, nor control, Friday night’s 28th-minute lead against a Ukraine side which at first came to defend and play on the break. Then, sniffing glory, piled runners forward through the Spain midfield, robbing possession and launching assaults on Casillas’ goal. It all makes the scorer much more interesting. What Spain require, even above some restored arrogance and self-confidence, even above key players avoiding injury, is for a prolific striker to emerge. Morata has also been likened to Real Madrid and France striker Benzema . In Raúl’s day, his goals patched up the fact that Spain didn’t have a world-class XI. Good, but not great. When David Villa and Fernando Torres took charge they would, regularly, add the goal or goals which gave sense, confidence, and purpose to La Roja controlling play via Xavi, David Silva, Iniesta, Xabi Alonso, Marcos Senna and Sergio Busquets. Cutting edge. Costa — if del Bosque accepts that more direct, more vertical football, quarter-backed by Cesc Fabregas, is central to the renovation — may become vital. Meantime there’s Morata — once of Real Madrid, lately of Juventus. His former Madrid mentor, Míchel, himself a mighty forward, recently said that Morata, whose debut goal on Friday was more valuable than it was beautiful, was ‘part van Basten, part Benzema’. Now that is praise. It’s meant to mean that he has the direct No 9 repertoire which accounts for his 32 goals for Spain at junior levels and his tournament top-scoring performance last time La Rojita won the European Under-21 Championship. Holland's Marco Van Basten is regarded as one of the greatest strikers of all time . Equally, it speaks of his awareness of space and how to profit from it. ‘Sometimes you have to really “love” football to understand strikers,’ he says. ‘To understand, or spot, their movements behind strikers, the process of “opening up a defence”. ‘Some people can’t see it. Some think that if you haven’t scored you’ve not had a good game. Right now, first-touch, fluid, strategic football is in fashion — the old style centre-forward who finishes but is static is a vanishing species. If you don’t have much more to your game, you won’t play.’ When he did get to play he chose the No 7 for his back. With Spain, just like at Manchester United, that’s a special number. It belonged to Raúl, record scorer until along came Villa — now Spain’s record scorer, and not formally retired. ‘I dream of scoring my first goal for La Roja,’ Morata said on Thursday. Then: ‘I was angry at myself for missing an earlier chance, so I didn’t really celebrate when I scored,’ he told me on Friday evening after the dream arrived. Good mindset. At Juve, he has struck up a ‘thing’ with Andrea Pirlo. ‘He never looks up when he hits you a first-time pass, but you learn. You anticipate.’ Just as he did against Ukraine to sprint onto Koke’s volley-pass. Some of Spain’s transition will be played out through the talents of this guy. Part van Basten, part Benzema. Taught by Pirlo.

(CNN)When man relies on machine, there is always something that can go wrong. And there is no more unforgiving environment than the high-stakes world of Formula One. "Racing is one of those... probably a crueler sport in that there's so many other variables," says Red Bull's No.1 driver Daniel Ricciardo, ahead of Sunday's season-opening Australian Grand Prix. "Unfortunately it's not like tennis where all the racquets are pretty much the same and you can't blame anyone but yourself." Ricciardo experienced the full extent of F1's cruelty at last year's Melbourne race. The Australian crossed the line in second place -- seemingly becoming the first Aussie to finish on the podium at Albert Park -- but jubilation soon turned to despair. He was disqualified hours after the race when officials ruled his car had exceeded the maximum fuel flow rate, a rule which states each car is limited to 100 kilograms of fuel per race and was introduced to make the sport more fuel efficient. "It's frustrating, I mean it's a part of the sport which will always be frustrating," said the 25-year-old, reflecting on what was his Red Bull debut. "I'm sure even Lewis (Hamilton) and Nico (Rosberg) last year were frustrated at the times because you never have the perfect car," he added, referring to the two Mercedes drivers, who finished first and second last season. "But it is what it is, I signed up for that a long time ago, and you just learn to accept it." It's a sport where even driving ability often fails to overcome mechanical failures -- eventual world champion Hamilton was forced to retire from last year's race at Albert Park. But technical blunders don't always end in disaster -- Hamilton won the Italian Grand Prix after experiencing mechanical faults early in the race, and Finnish driver Valterri Bottas lost a wheel in 2014's opener before roaring to a fifth-place finish. Despite Ricciardo's previous disappointment, he's can't wait to race on his home turf again next Sunday. "I definitely feel privileged to have a home race... it just increases all the hype and all the excitement" said Ricciardo, adding that he would use "all the Australian flags and all the cheers to my advantage." After last year's disaster Ricciardo is looking to make things right, "There's a little bit of redemption, I'm confident we can get it back."

Based on the reference paragraph, when was the 149th Boat Race?
|
The 149th Boat Race took place on 6 April 2003. Held annually, the Boat Race is a side-by-side rowing race between crews from the Universities of Oxford (in dark blue) and Cambridge (in light greenish blue) along a 4.2-mile (6.8 km) tidal stretch of the River Thames in south-west London. The lead changed twice during the race, which Oxford won by one foot (30 cm), the smallest margin of victory in the history of the event. The close race has been described as "epic", while Olympic gold medallist Steve Redgrave suggested that the race was the "greatest we will see in our lifetimes".

(CNN)The United States and Great Britain have pulled their last forces out of strife-torn Yemen, raising fears that the failed state will become even more of a breeding ground for terror groups plaguing the Middle East and the West. Over the weekend, the United States evacuated the last of its special operations forces -- including Navy SEALs and Army Delta Force troops -- amid the deteriorating security situation in the country, the U.S. State Department said. On Monday, a security source in the region familiar with the situation in Yemen told CNN's Nic Robertson that British special forces had also left Yemen in the last few days. The British Ministry of Defence declined to comment. The U.S. move came a day after terrorists bombed two mosques in the capital, Sanaa, on Friday, killing at least 137 and wounding 357 others, according to Yemen's state-run Saba news agency. The terror group ISIS, based in Syria, claimed responsibility for the attack. It also followed months of fighting between government forces and Houthi rebels, who on Sunday seized the international airport in Taiz. The rebels now control both the airport and Sanaa. Yemen has been a key U.S. ally in the fight against al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, allowing U.S. drones and special operations forces to stalk terrorists in the country. Now, that arrangement is in tatters, along with any semblance of peace in the Middle Eastern nation. While State Department spokesman Jeff Rathke said Saturday that the United States would continue to "take action to disrupt continuing, imminent threats to the United States and our citizens," the move left some wondering what role the U.S. could play with no forces on the ground. The country closed its embassy in Sanaa last month. "I don't think there is an active role for the U.S. other than intelligence and trying to see where the dust is going to settle," said U.S. Sen. Angus King, a Maine Independent who serves on the Senate Armed Services and Intelligence committees. That raises the possibility of the already unstable country becoming an even more fertile environment for terror groups to collaborate, grow and export violence, according to Robin Wright, a security and defense analyst with the Woodrow Wilson Center. "It's becoming much like Syria, much like Afghanistan was at the peak of its instability," she said. On Sunday, U.N. officials said the country appeared to be on a "rapid downward spiral." The Security Council again deplored the violence and called for an end to the fighting and for Houthi rebels to return government facilities to the elected government of President Abdo Rabbo Mansour Hadi. But officials said recent events "seemed to be leading the country further away from a peaceful settlement and towards the edge of civil war." In addition to counterterrorism issues, all sorts of geopolitical influences are at work in Yemen -- chief among them the regional power play between regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia. The Houthi rebels are Shiites with ties to Iran, who have long felt marginalized in majority Sunni Yemen. Sunni Arab countries in the Gulf Cooperation Council want to limit the influence of Iran, particularly Saudi Arabia, said CNN military analyst Lt. Col. Rick Francona. "They believe now that Iran is in control in Beirut, in Damascus, in Baghdad and now on their southern border in Yemen," Francona said. "So the Saudis are beginning to feel a little threatened here and are hoping the Yemen situation doesn't spiral out of control." The Saudis and other Gulf Arab nations have called for every effort to be made to roll back the Houthi gains and hand full control back to Hadi's government. On Monday, Houthi leader Abdul Malik al-Houthi criticized regional governments over their stance on the fighting. Al-Houthi said his group was striking back at al Qaeda and ISIS in self defense, and said he found it "very strange" that nearby governments would condemn the group for such acts while welcoming the United States, which he called "the umbrella of tyranny in the world." Yemen: What you need to know about how we got here . There's little reason to believe the Security Council's calls for peace will have much impact. Last month the council slammed the rebels for taking over democratic institutions and holding officials under house arrest, with little effect on the fighting. Last week, a Yemeni jet commanded by the Houthi fired missiles at a palace housing Hadi in the port city of Aden. No one was injured, but the direct strike marked an escalation in the deadly fighting between the two sides. That same day, Yemeni military forces -- some under the Houthis, others led by officers loyal to Hadi -- battled in Aden, leaving at least 13 people dead in the clashes, Aden Gov. Abdul Aziz Hobtour said. The fighting is taking a huge toll on Yemen's people and economy, said Rafat al Akhali, the country's former youth minister. Aside from the direct impact of fighting, people are losing jobs and businesses are closing, he said. There's still time, he said, to implement a political solution to the crisis. "I don't think we're past the point of no return yet," he said. Francona was less sanguine. "I don't see anything stopping a major war going on," he said. CNN's Hakim Almasmari, Catherine E. Shoichet, Richard Roth and Stephanie Halasz contributed to this report.

A pickpocket's victim decided to take revenge by sticking a sign reading 'I am a thief' to the criminal's back, who was then pictured as he tried to steal from others. Chinese police confirmed they are investigating after the bus passenger, who has not been named, took several pictures of the pickpocket attempting to steal from other unsuspecting people. The pictures were posted online last week after being taken in the city of Yulin in southern China's Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, The People's Daily reported. A victim of a pickpocket decided to take revenge by sticking a sign reading 'I am a thief' to the criminal's back . Unaware of the sign on his back, the thief is pictured with his hand covertly placed in a backpack belonging to a man waiting at a bus stop. Having found nothing of value, he is then seen switching his attention to a black bag hanging off the young man's shoulder. After the pictures went viral, police confirmed that they were aware of the matter. A police spokesman said they were investigating and trying to track down the victim, the photographer and the alleged thief. The thief, unaware of the sign on his back, was then pictured trying to steal from other people at a bus stop . Ye Chung, of Yulin city police, said: 'We were already aware of these images circulating, and I can confirm that we are trying to track down those involved so that we can get to the truth of the matter. 'We are in particular appealing for anybody who knows the alleged thief to contact us and identify him, but we also need to speak to the suspected victim who had been waiting for the bus and if possible the person who took the pictures.' The pictures were uploaded online without any comment. It is unclear why the victim did not report the matter to police at the same time as taking the pictures. Chinese police confirmed they are investigating the matter after the pictures were posted online and went viral .

They simply do not draw games, and that’s something which could see Watford over the line in this season’s race to the Premier League. Not since late October, 21 fixtures ago, have the Hornets shared the points. It’s very much boom or bust under Slavisa Jokanovic and the pendulum is swinging in their direction at the moment. Against Fulham Troy Deeney’s 15th of the season secured their eighth win in the last ten. The signs are ominous for the rest and one of the first words out of the manager’s mouth afterwards was ‘champion’. Why not? They are just one point behind Middlesbrough. Troy Deeney (centre) fires home to give Watford the lead and send them third in the Championship . The Hornets captain celebrates as his side continued their quest for an automatic promotion place . Watford starting XI (3-5-2): Gomes 6.5; Cathcart 7, Angella 7.5, Hoban 6; Motta 6, Abdi 8 (Forestieri - 86), Watson 7, Guedioura 7, Pudil 6.5 (Layun - 58 6); Deeney 7.5, Vydra 7 (Ighalo - 68 6) Subs not used: Bond, Paredes, Anya, Tozser, . Goals: Deeney 9 . Booked: Guedioura . Fulham starting XI (4-3-3): Bettinelli 6; Richards 6, Hutchinson 6, Bodurov 6, Stafylidis 6.5; Tunnicliffe 6, Fofana 7, Kavanagh 6.5 (Kačaniklić,- 76 6); Ruiz (Smith - 76 7), Woodrow 6.5 (Rodallega - 66 6), McCormack 7 . Subs not used: Kiraly, Hoogland, Amorebieta, Dembélé . Booked: Richards, Fofana . ‘It’s nice winning 5-0 or 3-2 but sometimes it is difficult,’ Jokanovic said. ‘If you have a champion’s mentality you must suffer together and get through games like this. ‘They caused us problems. It’s positive for us because we were working all together. It wasn’t a brilliant game but you’ve got to be optimistic if you win these.’ It’s only six months since managerial turmoil looked to undermine the foundations previously laid when Billy McKinlay left after a matter of days but Watford will take some stopping from here. When all is said and done in two months’ time, they will make sure not to hold any regrets. The winner came on nine minutes after Fulham goalkeeper Marcus Bettinelli, rather bizarrely, opted to travel away from his goal to retrieve a ball for Almen Abdi to whip in a wicked corner; from that Craig Cathcart’s header was partially saved but Deeney was on the spot to smash in the rebound. ‘Disappointing’ was Kit Symons’ summation. ‘It’s the second phase of a corner.’ Jokanovic’s side are top scorers in the division - netting 16 in their last five at Vicarage Road before this - but are occasionally susceptible to pace and Ross McCormack might’ve drawn the visitors level soon after, only for his half-volley to be thwarted by former Tottenham stopper Heurelho Gomes. Ryan Tunnicliffe (centre) tussles with Almen Abdi for the ball during his side's defeat to Watford . Match winner Deeney fights with Kostas Stafylidis for possession during the first half at Vicarage Road . Despite Fulham looking bright, it was the Hornets who could’ve sewn the points up before half-time. Abdi is afforded the freedom to roam from his central berth and that gives Watford an added dimension. Capped by Switzerland, he buzzes in possession and isn’t afraid of bypassing Deeney and Matej Vydra in pursuit of goals. Here the two strikers combined brilliantly to tee Abdi up and he thumped just wide. Make no mistake, this was not vintage Watford but you sense they don’t need to be weekly, such is the quality stacked up in a well-stocked squad. Vydra crashed an effort against the bar after sparkling Adlene Guedioura footwork before Jazz Richards only saw yellow for raising his hands to the striker off the ball. Ben Watson (centre) climbs higher than Bryan Ruiz during his side's crucial victory over Fulham . Symons saw Cauley Woodrow head over from a corner and Seko Fofana’s vicious strike was deflected wide. Fulham failed to build a real period of sustained pressure until introducing giant striker Matt Smith; his knockdown fell to McCormack but Gomes rushed out, spread himself and superbly blocked the Scot’s certain equaliser. ‘Matt did well when he came on,’ Symons said. ‘He’s a physical presence up there and we can play a bit more direct. There was a chance at the end when Hugo Rodallega and Ross got in each other’s way. We deserved a point.’ Watford might usually be a pleasure to watch, but they’ll be thankful for that mad Brazilian between the sticks - this ended up being as gritty as they come.

The Premier League Golden Boot is one of the most sought-after individual prizes in the game - and this season’s competition is delicately poised for the final run-in. The three main contenders - Chelsea’s Diego Costa on 19, Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane on 19 and Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero on 17 - are all in with a chance of winning it. Will it go down to form? Will it be rocked by injury and suspension? Will it have the fairytale conclusion that so many would love to see? Sportsmail takes a look at the runners and riders in the race for the Golden Boot... The race for the Golden Boot seems to be between Harry Kane (left), Diego Costa (centre) and Sergio Aguero . Left foot: 5 . Right foot: 10 . Head: 4 . Minutes per goal: 98.26 . Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur . Can Harry Kane’s whirlwind season continue right until the end or will it run out of air? His hat-trick against Leicester in Tottenham’s last league match just goes to show how quickly the goalscorers chart can change as he leapt to catch Diego Costa within the space of 90 minutes. Ultimately, any Englishman and most neutrals would want to see Kane top at the end of the campaign, regardless of which team they support, given his story. Kane’s main downfall will be his lack of experience. Hopefully his youthful exuberance will not fade into nervous tension. Costa, 26, and Aguero, 26, are seasoned experts compared to the 21-year-old, more aware of what is required to find the back of the net after a long campaign when the thighs ache and the quads burn. Tottenham Hotspur's Kane was 500/1 to be the Premier League's top goalscorer at the start of the season . Burnley (A) (scored 1 goal against) Aston Villa (H) 1 . Newcastle United (A) 1 . Southampton (A) Manchester City (H) Stoke City (A) Hull City (A) 1 . Everton (A) Record against remaining teams: scored against 4/8 (four goals total) This zonal map shows where Kane scored his 19 goals this season for Tottenham in the Premier League . This pitch view map shows where Kane scored his goals from around the 18-yard box for Tottenham . Left foot: 5 . Right foot: 11 . Head: 3 . Minutes per goal: 102.42 . Diego Costa, Chelsea . The snarling, street-fighting Chelsea striker is joint-top of the goalscorers chart, but has played fewer games to reach his total goals tally and has one more to play than his two main rivals. Forget Kane and Aguero, however, Costa’s main adversary is himself. His aggressive style of play means he is the most likely of the three to pick up a suspension. He is already on eight domestic yellow cards for the season and was retrospectively banned for three matches for a stamp on Liverpool’s Emre Can. Chelsea also have a tougher run-in than Tottenham and Manchester City. They still have to face Manchester United and Liverpool at home and Arsenal away. Having said that, Costa has already scored against Arsenal and Liverpool this season and is yet to face United who have had an unstable defence. Chelsea striker Costa is among the best signings of the season and has 19 goals in the Premier League . Stoke City (H) Queens Park Rangers (A) Manchester United (H) Arsenal (A) (scored 1 goal against) Leicester City (A) 1 . Crystal Palace (H) Liverpool (H) 1 . West Bromwich Albion (A) 1 . Sunderland (H) Record against remaining teams: scored against 4/9 (four goals total) This zonal map shows where Costa scored his 19 goals this season for Chelsea in the Premier League . This pitch view map shows where Costa scored his goals from around the 18-yard box for Chelsea . Left foot: 4 . Right foot: 13 . Head: 0 . Minutes per goal: 107.53 . Sergio Aguero, Manchester City . He is the rank-outsider, but one who you would bet against at your peril. Aguero is trailing the other two by two goals, but he has scored four in one game this season, against Tottenham who he will face again in City’s remaining eight games. Of the three strikers, Aguero is by far the best finisher who can conjure a goal, or two, from nowhere in a game. He has already scored eight times against the last eight teams City have to face - the same amount as Costa and Kane’s record put together in their last fixtures of the season. Injury will be Aguero’s main concern. The knee injury he suffered in December cost him a month out and he has failed to consistently string together games since he moved there four years ago. Manchester City striker Aguero has 17 goals and is just two behind the leading Premier League goalscorers . Crystal Palace (A) Manchester United (A) (scored 1 goal against) West Ham (H) Aston Villa (H) 1 . Tottenham Hotspur (A) 4 . Queens Park Rangers (H) 2 . Swansea City (A) Southampton (H) Record against remaining teams: scored against 4/8 (eight goals total) This zonal map shows where Aguero scored his 19 goals this season for City in the Premier League . This pitch view map shows where Aguero scored his goals from around the 18-yard box for City . My Golden Boot Guestimate… . This is, obviously, no exact science. You can analyse all the statistics, numbers and records in the world and the enigma of chance will always rear its head. For example, Costa has scored more of his goals, eight, against teams currently sitting from sixth to 10th, but only plays one of those, Stoke. Kane has netted eight of his strikes against teams now in the bottom five, and has two of those, Aston Villa and Burnley, remaining. Conversely, Aguero has a more even spread against teams throughout the table. And Aguero has a far better early-season record against City’s last teams than the other two. But then Aguero has not scored in five games, Costa has two in last two and Kane six in his last four. My heart says Kane, but my head goes with Costa, so I choose the Chelsea man. Charlie Austin, Queens Park Rangers (15 goals) Left foot: 2 . Right foot: 10 . Head: 3 . Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin is four behind the top goalscorers on 15 for the season . Olivier Giroud, Arsenal (13 goals) Left foot: 8 . Right foot: 1 . Head: 4 . Arsenal are well represented in the top five goalscorers this season so far with Olivier Giroud on 13 . Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal (13 goals) Left foot: 0 . Right foot: 11 . Head: 2 . Alexis Sanchez is another Arsenal star among the top Premier League goalscorers with 13 to his name . The graphics used for Kane, Costa and Aguero's goals were provided by Squawka .

Given a reference text about the E.S. Hoyt House, tell me how big the inside of the house is and how many rooms it has.
|
The E.S. Hoyt House is a historic house in Red Wing, Minnesota, United States, designed by the firm of Purcell & Elmslie and built in 1913. The house is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It is also a contributing property to the Red Wing Residential Historic District.
Description and history
The house is one of their more elaborate designs because its owner had a budget that allowed for lavish decoration. The result is comparable to the William Gray Purcell House and the Edward L. Powers House, both in Minneapolis. The horizontal lines of the Prairie School are more pronounced in this house; they are expressed in the bands of art glass windows on both levels and the cantilevered second story. Its owner, E.S. Hoyt, was the president of the Red Wing Stoneware Company.
The exterior is clad with brick on the first floor and red stucco on the second floor. The house has ten rooms and about 3,600 square feet (330 m2) of floor space. It has 99 diamond-paned art glass windows and a considerable amount of quarter sawn white oak wood ornamentation. The second story of the house is cantilevered over the first story. The entrance opens into a hallway that leads to a library on the left and a living room on the right. The living room, dining room, and an enclosed porch are all stretched across the front of the house and provide plenty of light through the art glass windows. Several of these windows provide panoramic views of the Mississippi River. The kitchen is located behind the dining room, although it has been remodeled since its original design. The second floor of the house has four bedrooms and two bathrooms, several of which have corner windows that expand the sense of space. The maid's room, over the kitchen, had a separate staircase.[

A missing UC Berkeley soccer star who vanished in the early hours of Saturday after leaving a fraternity party 'drunk and disoriented' was struck and killed by a car, the LAPD said on Monday. Eloi Vasquez, 19, was fatally hit by the vehicle at around 2.30am on Saturday, just an hour after he was last seen leaving a party at the University of Southern California fraternity Tau Kappa Epsilon. His body was found on the state's 10 Freeway on a ramp around three blocks from the university's campus, his family said. However, police could not identify him immediately because of his injuries. But on Monday afternoon, the LAPD reportedly confirmed that the coroner’s officer had identified the person who was hit on the eastbound freeway as Vasquez - a tragic end to a two-day search for him. Scroll down for video . Missing: Missing soccer star Eloi Vasquez, 19, was struck and killed by a car, the LAPD said on Monday. Above, he is pictured (left) in his California Golden Bears team strip, and (right) at the party on Friday night . Party weekend: Vasquez was last seen leaving the University of Southern California;s Tau Kappa Epsilon fraternity giyse (pictured) early Saturday morning while visiting the college during spring break . Death: His body was found on the state's eastbound 10 Freeway (pictured) on a ramp around three blocks from the university's campus, his family said. Police could not identify him immediately due to his injuries . It is unclear what type of vehicle hit the student at up to 70mph, resulting in such serious injuries. 'The family is understandably very distraught and has respectfully asked for privacy,' police told KTLA 5. The devastating revelation came just hours after Vasquez's family had offered members of the public a $100,000 reward - increased from $50,000 - for information leading to the teenager's safe return. Earlier on Monday, Coroner’s Lt. Fred Corral had said that the county agency was investigating a 'John Doe', who had been fatally struck by a vehicle on the major east-west Freeway, near Vermont. Shortly after Vasquez was last seen, he had called a friend saying he was 'screwed' and had lost his way. The economics major and soccer star at the prestigious school had then lost contact. Reports said he was likely drunk at the time. His cousin Logan Crespan told DailyMail.com: 'He said he was going to the beach when he left the party but the closest beach was 15 miles away.' Vasquez's mother, Wendy Margolin, said that at around 2.20am her son had called a friend, Aurora, Cardenas, and told her he was 'screwed' and did not know where he was. Last seen: The star soccer player had no money of ID on him when he left the party, authorities say . Swim: His cousin Logan Crespan (left) told DailyMail.com he said he was going to the beach, which is 15 miles away . Close: It is unclear what type of vehicle hit the student. 'The family is understandably very distraught and has respectfully asked for privacy,' police said. Above, Vasquez was killed just blocks away from the fraternity . 'He pretty much said, "I need you to come over here, I need help." I asked him, "Where are you?" and he told me that he was in LA and that he didn’t know where he was at and that he was lost,' Cardenas told NBC Bay Area. 'The second time he called it just clicked. I didn’t know if his phone died, or if he hung up.' Addressing the media Sunday, Ms Margolin said her son was very responsible and dedicated to his studies, and that it was it out of character for him not to contact his family and friends. Vasquez's parents drove to Los Angeles from Northern California Saturday to join the search for their son. Margolin was planning to scour doughnut and candy shops open late in the area. Meanwhile, his friends were visiting lifeguard towers in Santa Monica and Venice Beach. A missing poster described Vasquez as a six-foot, 175lb Hispanic man with dark hair and brown eyes. Last contact: Wendy Margolin (left), Eloi's mother, said a friend of her son's, Aurora Cardenas (right), got a call from him at around 2.20am Saturday telling her he was 'screwed' and lost . Appeal: Friends, relatives and teammates shared his missing poster in a bid to track him down before receiving the tragic news that he was actually struck and killed by a vehicle on the state's 10 Freeway . He was wearing a white and red t-shirt, white plimsolls, and gray chinos when he died after leaving the party on the 600 block of W 28th Street, a fraternity hub known locally as 'Greek Row'. Vasquez was not a member of a fraternity. Relatives told police he did not have any money or identification with him at the time. He did have a cell phone on him, but it appeared to have died. Cal Athletics released a statement Sunday addressing Vasquez's disappearance. 'Eloi is a wonderful young man who has excelled both academically and athletically here at Cal,' the press release said. 'Our entire Cal Athletics family is very concerned for Eloi’s safety and our first priority is to help in any way we can to locate him.' Vasquez, born in Novato, California, was an accomplished soccer player who trained at France's esteemed Racing Club Strasbourg Alsace and the youth academy of Pachuca in Mexico. Athlete: Vasquez, who has trained at soccer camps in Mexico and France, was wearing a white t-shirt and gray pants at the time of his disappearance and death . Getting the word out: Friends described him as a 'really special kid' in Twitter appeals . He had also played for the California Golden Bears. A fellow player, Matthew Powell, tweeted a picture of Vasquez, writing: 'My former teammate, Eloi Vasquez, is missing...last seen at USC. Really special kid, keep spreading the word.' In a statement at the weekend, the university said: 'Eloi is a wonderful young man who has excelled both academically and athletically here at Cal. 'Our entire Cal Athletics family is very concerned for Eloi's safety.'

Glenn Maxwell scored the second-fastest century in World Cup history as Australia secured their place in the quarter-finals with an exciting 64-run win over Sri Lanka. Maxwell brought up his maiden one-day international hundred off 51 balls, one more than Kevin O'Brien took during Ireland's famous win over England four years ago, as Australia ran up a daunting 376 for nine batting first in Sydney. Maxwell struck 10 fours and four sixes in his 102 while Steve Smith (72), captain Michael Clarke (68) and Shane Watson (67) were also among the runs as the tournament co-hosts made hay after winning the toss at the SCG.

However, Sri Lanka refused to go down without a fight and, despite losing Lahiru Thirimanne in the second over, they remained well in contention as the indefatigable Kumar Sangakkara became the first player to notch three consecutive centuries at a World Cup. The 37-year-old Sangakkara, who is retiring from ODI cricket after the tournament, scored 104 off 107 balls to follow up his tons against England and Bangladesh. Tillakaratne Dilshan, who hit Mitchell Johnson for six successive fours in the same over during his 62, and Dinesh Chandimal also clubbed quickfire half-centuries as Sri Lanka sought what would have been the third highest successful run chase in ODI history.

With nine overs to go they were actually ahead of Australia's score at the same stage having reached 280 for four, but they immediately saw Chandimal retire hurt and that signalled the end of their challenge. Chandimal had blazed 52 off just 24 balls but he was struggling with a what looked to be a hamstring injury and was unable to continue. Once he departed, Sri Lanka subsided to 312 for nine and - with Chandimal not reappearing - Australia were able to celebrate their third victory in Group A and a place in the last eight.

Earlier it was man of the match Maxwell who provided the fireworks as Australia ran up another mammoth total at this year's tournament. He had a life on 95 when Sangakkara spilled a steepling catch running back, but still looked on course to claim O'Brien's World Cup record for the fastest ton. However, Maxwell - who admitted after the match he was not aware what the record was - just missed out before seeing his power-packed stay at the crease ended soon after by Thisara Perera. His innings proved the difference in the end though, as Sri Lanka's valiant run chase fell short despite Sangakkara's record-breaking ton.

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet is too modest to claim the club’s recent revival is partly due to his own impressive personal comeback after he had been dropped earlier in the season by manager Brendan Rodgers. Nevertheless, the facts show that the resurgent Reds go into Saturday's potential top-four decider against Manchester United at Anfield having been beaten only once in 19 domestic games — a Capital One Cup semi-final second leg against Chelsea — since Mignolet returned to the side on Boxing Day. Prior to that, they had lost four out of seven in the Premier League and had slipped to 10th place. Simon Mignolet has been in impressive form for Liverpool during their resurgence in the Premier League . The Liverpool goalkeeper was dropped from the side earlier in the season after a number of mistakes . The Belgian first found out he had been axed the day before Liverpool faced United in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford in December when United won 3-0. ‘The gaffer took me into his office to tell me I wouldn’t play against United. It was disappointing and I could have let my head drop, but I decided to be positive to make sure my period on the sidelines was as short as possible,’ said Mignolet. ‘I trained the next day to make sure I’d be ready in a better way when the opportunity arose.’ His wish came true. When in-favour Brad Jones injured his thigh four matches later at Burnley, Mignolet came on, kept a clean sheet and has not looked back since. A 1-0 win at Swansea City on Monday was his sixth consecutive clean sheet away from home — the first time that has happened since the days of Bill Shankly. Mignolet makes a fine save from a Gylfi Sigurdsson strike during the win against Swansea on Monday . The Belgian keeper kept his sixth consecutive Premier League away clean sheet against the Swans . Victory against United would lift Liverpool into the top four and they would then be favourites to join Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal in next season’s Champions League. The loss at Old Trafford when Rodgers first introduced a three-man defence and played Raheem Sterling up front now appears to be a watershed in the club’s campaign. ‘I don’t think it’s anything to do with me personally,’ said Mignolet. ‘The gaffer changed the system [to 3-4-3] and since then things have been very organised. We don’t give many chances away and everybody is willing to work for each other. ‘It’s all about working as a unit. We have dealt well with set-pieces and at the other end, scored goals.’ Having been heavily criticised for key mistakes earlier in the season and dubbed ‘Dracula’ by former Liverpool goalkeeper Bruce Grobbelaar for being indecisive with crosses, Mignolet is not taking recent good publicity for granted, even though he was Liverpool’s man-of-the-match at Swansea following crucial saves from Gylfi Sigurdsson and Bafetimbi Gomis. Mignolet, who was dropped earlier in the season, trains alonside Joe Allen and Lazar Markovic . Liverpool have only lost once in 19 domestic matches since Mignolet returned to the side . ‘As a goalkeeper you’re only remembered for your last game. I know I played half-decent against Swansea but if things turn around against Manchester United on Sunday, no one will mention that,’ he said. ‘I know how it goes and how football is. You have to accept it, but that is also something positive because there’s always something new around the corner. ‘The next game is always the biggest one. That’s what we say.’ After last season’s thrilling challenge for the league title, Rodgers reacted bravely when the first half to this campaign did not go according to plan. Liverpool impressed at Old Trafford in December but fell to a 3-0 loss after a David De Gea masterclass . Emre Can has emerged as a key figure in Liverpool's three-man defence in the past few months . Summer signings Mario Balotelli, Lazar Markovic, Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert were sidelined, while club captain Steven Gerrard was allowed to negotiate a deal to join LA Galaxy this summer. Instead, Sterling was used as a centre-forward until Daniel Sturridge’s recent return from injury as Rodgers returned to last season’s quick-passing style. At the back, midfielder Emre Can was asked to be part of a back-three with Martin Skrtel and the restored Lovren. As results improved, Markovic and Lallana were brought back in and the team remain unbeaten in the Premier League in 2015, having taken 33 points from a possible 39. Liverpool have narrowed the gap on United from 10 points to two. They are rediscovering the art of scoring goals while keeping it tight at the back. The Reds haven't tasted defeat in the Premier League since the outing at Old Trafford . ‘Swansea was an example where we had to grind it out. It was 0-0 at half time and then we came out and put pressure on them high up the field. And we scored out of that [through Jordan Henderson],’ added Mignolet. ‘I think that’s what we are about. The 3-0 defeat away to Manchester United was a while ago and there’s no point in reflecting too much on what has been. Professional footballers have to adapt to any system. It is more to do with the organisation and how everybody does their job rather than the system itself. ‘At the moment, the players are all working really hard. If the gaffer points something out, everybody is ready to listen and make sure it gets done. And it is clicking. ‘There is no point looking over your shoulder [at the past] because what we are thinking about is preparing ourselves the best we can for the Manchester United game.’

(CNN)Call it "The Most Interesting Traffic Ticket in the World." A Washington state trooper caught a driver using a cardboard cutout of Jonathan Goldsmith, the Dos Equis beer pitchman known as "The Most Interesting Man in the World." The driver, who was by himself, was attempting to use the HOV lane. "The trooper immediately recognized it was a prop and not a passenger," Trooper Guy Gill told the New York Daily News. "As the trooper approached, the driver was actually laughing." Gill sent out a tweet with a photo of the cutout -- who was clad in what looked like a knit shirt, a far cry from his usual attire -- and the unnamed laughing driver: "I don't always violate the HOV lane law...but when I do, I get a $124 ticket! We'll give him an A for creativity!" The driver was caught on Interstate 5 near Fife, Washington, just outside Tacoma. "He could have picked a less recognizable face to put on his prop," Gill told the Daily News. "We see that a lot. Usually it's a sleeping bag. This was very creative."

Feared across India, the exiled Aghori monks of Varanasi feast on human flesh and reside near cremation sites in search of spiritual enlightenment. Showing the monks with painted faces and beads strung around their necks, these incredible images were taken by Italian photographer Cristiano Ostinelli, who spent time with the tribe to discover more about their way of life. The mysterious tribe members live in cemeteries and feast on human flesh as part of their rituals, as well as drinking from human skulls, chewing the heads off live animals and meditating on top of cadavers in search of spiritual enlightenment. The Aghori monks of Varanasi are feared throughout India and are believed to be able to see the future . Italian photographer Cristiano Ostinelli spent time with the mysterious tribe to capture their mysterious way of life . The monks feast on human flesh, drink from human skulls and are even said to bite the heads off life animals for their rituals . Mr Ostinelli explained: 'There is a great mystery around them and the Indians fear them, they say they can predict the future, walk on water and do evil prophecies.' The monks use a combination of marijuana, alcohol and meditation to help them reach a disconnected state of heightened awareness and bring themselves closer to revered Hindu god Lord Shiva. The Aghori also believe that by immersing themselves without prejudice in what others deem taboo or disturbing, they're on course to achieving enlightenment. The Varanasi tribe live near cremation sites and use a combination of alcohol and marijuana with meditation to reach enlightenment . The monks trace their roots to the 17th-century puritan Baba Kinaram, who is said to have lived to the age of 170 . With painted faces and often seen wearing little or no clothing, their way of life is said to discourage an attachment to earthly delusions . The monks believe that the body is inconsequential and flesh and blood are simply transitory, which is why they surround themselves with death and decay . They live among India's cremation sites - where Lord Shiva and goddess Kali Ma are said to dwell - and feed on what others throw away. Bodies are often cremated and then scattered into the sacred Ganges river, but some bodies are disposed of without cremation. The Aghori are said to collect these remains and use them for their spiritual enlightenment, wearing the corpses, consuming them or building alters from them. The mysterious tribe drink alcohol from human skulls, known as kapalas, and are said to also drink urine and eat faecal matter . The Italian photographer spent time with the tribe, which lives on the fringes of society, to capture incredible images of their way of life . Their religion is a sect of Hinduism, but the monks are often viewed with disgust and fear by their fellow countrymen . The tribe's belief extend to them often walking around without clothes to signify the human body in its purest form . There are just 20 of the group said to be living in Varanasi today, but in the 19th century they numberes in their hundreds . The monks use their unusual rituals to bring them closer to the revered Hindu god Shiva . The monks believe that flesh and blood are transitory and that the body is ultimately inconsequential. They emphasise this notion through their habit of dwelling in cemeteries and by surrounding themselves with death and decay. The Aghori shun material belongings and often walk around unclothed. This encourages detachment from what they see as earthly delusions and better signifies the human body in its purest form. Today's Aghori trace their roots to 17th-century puritan Baba Kinaram, who is said to have lived to the age of 170.

Explain me the characteristics of the Monalisa that make it a masterpiece
|
Considered an archetypal masterpiece of the Italian Renaissance, it has been described as "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world". The painting's novel qualities include the subject's enigmatic expression, monumentality of the composition, the subtle modelling of forms, and the atmospheric illusionism.
The painting has been definitively identified to depict Italian noblewoman Lisa del Giocondo. It is painted in oil on a white Lombardy poplar panel. Leonardo never gave the painting to the Giocondo family, and it is believed he later left it in his will to his favored apprentice Salaì. It was believed to have been painted between 1503 and 1506; however, Leonardo may have continued working on it as late as 1517. It was acquired by King Francis I of France and is now the property of the French Republic. It has been on permanent display at the Louvre in Paris since 1797.
The painting's global fame and popularity stem from its 1911 theft by Vincenzo Peruggia, who attributed his actions to Italian patriotism—a belief it should belong to Italy. The theft and subsequent recovery in 1914 generated unprecedented publicity for an art theft, and led to the publication of many cultural depictions such as the 1915 opera Mona Lisa, two early 1930s films (The Theft of the Mona Lisa and Arsène Lupin) and the song Mona Lisa recorded by Nat King Cole—one of the most successful songs of the 1950s.
The Mona Lisa is one of the most valuable paintings in the world. It holds the Guinness World Record for the highest-known painting insurance valuation in history at US$100 million in 1962 equivalent to $1 billion as of 2023.

She's known as the Imelda Marcos of British politics with a shoe obsession that has seen her attend functions wearing everything from sparkling gold wellies to leopard print kitten heels. Yesterday, however, the Home Secretary, 58, put her best foot forward in a brave choice for a very formal occasion - a pair of black patent leather, leopard-print over-the-knee boots. Joining the Queen, the Prime Minister and other dignitaries at the Horse Guards Parade in central London to welcome Mexico's President Enrique Pena Nieto and his wife Angelica Rivera, Mrs May strode forth in the flamboyant footwear, even managing to perform a neat curtsy in said boots to greet Her Majesty. Scroll down for video . Theresa May, 58, plumps for thigh-high patent leather boots, pictured yesterday as she crunched over the gravel at Horse Guards Parade ahead of a ceremony with the Queen to greet the President of Mexico . A creak of leather as the Home Secretary dips her knees to curtsy for the Queen. Mrs May teamed the adventurous boots with a colourful red and gold coat and a warm pair of long red gloves . There was no optical illusion to the bright overcoat that the MP for Maidenhead was wearing either. The colourful red and gold number, which Mrs May has showcased before, more than matched the thigh-high boots for glamour. A 41-gun salute, fired by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery sounded as President Nieto and his wife arrived with the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall. On a particularly inclement day, perhaps the boots were as much about warmth as they were about fashion. It's also not the first time they've been seen; Mrs May donned the same pair - or something very similar - for another ceremonial greeting back in 2013 when the President of South Korea, Park Geun-Hye arrived for an official visit. Haven't we seen them somewhere before? Mrs May donned the boots - or something very similar - for another ceremonial greeting back in 2013 when the President of South Korea, Park Geun-Hye visited the UK . The MP is famously unapologetic about her fancy footwear, having described her sometimes maverick choices as a conversation starter. She once said: ‘I have no regrets (about being famous for my shoes). The good thing is that they are often an icebreaker.' The Conservative MP famously sported a pair of leopard-print kitten heels at the Conservatives’ annual party conference back in 2002...and the eye-catching footwear has kept coming ever since. It started with leopard-print: The MPs penchant for wearing animal prints is well-known...Mrs May famously wore these kitten heels at the Conservatives’ annual party conference back in 2002 . Stepping out: More leopard-print with a splash of scarlet (left) last year at the Tory Party Conference. In 2010, Mrs May left a cabinet meeting at Downing Street sporting a pair of stripy flats (centre) and (right) she famously wore a sari with matching silk heels to an event celebrating the achievements of Asian women in the same year . Rural practicality meets urban bling...Mrs May sported gold hologram wellies (left) at a party conference in Blackpool in 2007 and (right), another, earlier, showing for the stripy flats...this time in 2006 at the Bournemouth conference . Dowdy? Even more leopard-print, although this time in a much flatter form...Mrs May went for comfort at the Conservative Party's annual Spring Forum in 2013 . Teaming a leather skirt with roses on her feet (left), Mrs May's footwear choices have certainly earned her plenty of headlines and (right) a confident pose...and a sensible heel at the Conservative Party Conference in Birmingham in 2014 . Just last month a supporter at the Conservative fundraising Black and White Ball splashed out a cool £17,500 to go on a shoe-shopping mission with Mrs May. And the Home Secretary even suggested once that her shoe-style had encouraged a young supporter to venture into politics: 'I was in the Commons recently and saw a young lady wearing a nice pair of shoes. 'I said I liked them and she said my shoes were the reason she became involved in politics.' Although the Queen appeared unruffled by the Home Secretary's sartorial choices, fashion industry commentators were quick to question the biker chic look. Fashion Writer Simon Glazin questioned the appropriateness of the shoes for such a formal occasion: 'Wearing a pair of boots like this for a night at your friend's house is fine but I'd certainly question the choice when you're heading to a meeting with the Mexican President and shaking hands with the Queen. They looked uncomfortable to curtsy in.' A passion for red after all? Wearing a rather risque outfit at the Dorchester Hotel back in 2010 . 'It's the high-shine patent that is particularly unflattering. It can look, dare I say it, a bit cheap. They don't really go with that coat and gloves either, which are actually very chic.' Although it's unclear where Mrs May might have bought the boots from, shoe retailer Russell and Bromley have a strikingly similar pair of 'glossy black croc print patent leather' costing a not insubstantial £465 a pair. The brand describes the boot as easy to wear 'with black skinnies for understated glamour by day or dress up with tailored dresses for a cool twist on evening dressing.'

Based on the following passage what are positive and conventional current?
|
The movement of electric charge is known as an electric current, the intensity of which is usually measured in amperes. Current can consist of any moving charged particles; most commonly these are electrons, but any charge in motion constitutes a current. Electric current can flow through some things, electrical conductors, but will not flow through an electrical insulator.
By historical convention, a positive current is defined as having the same direction of flow as any positive charge it contains, or to flow from the most positive part of a circuit to the most negative part. Current defined in this manner is called conventional current. The motion of negatively charged electrons around an electric circuit, one of the most familiar forms of current, is thus deemed positive in the opposite direction to that of the electrons. However, depending on the conditions, an electric current can consist of a flow of charged particles in either direction, or even in both directions at once. The positive-to-negative convention is widely used to simplify this situation.
The process by which electric current passes through a material is termed electrical conduction, and its nature varies with that of the charged particles and the material through which they are travelling. Examples of electric currents include metallic conduction, where electrons flow through a conductor such as metal, and electrolysis, where ions (charged atoms) flow through liquids, or through plasmas such as electrical sparks. While the particles themselves can move quite slowly, sometimes with an average drift velocity only fractions of a millimetre per second, the electric field that drives them itself propagates at close to the speed of light, enabling electrical signals to pass rapidly along wires.
In engineering or household applications, current is often described as being either direct current (DC) or alternating current (AC). These terms refer to how the current varies in time. Direct current, as produced by example from a battery and required by most electronic devices, is a unidirectional flow from the positive part of a circuit to the negative. If, as is most common, this flow is carried by electrons, they will be travelling in the opposite direction. Alternating current is any current that reverses direction repeatedly; almost always this takes the form of a sine wave. Alternating current thus pulses back and forth within a conductor without the charge moving any net distance over time. The time-averaged value of an alternating current is zero, but it delivers energy in first one direction, and then the reverse. Alternating current is affected by electrical properties that are not observed under steady state direct current, such as inductance and capacitance. These properties however can become important when circuitry is subjected to transients, such as when first energised.

By historical convention, a positive current is defined as having the same direction of flow as any positive charge it contains, or to flow from the most positive part of a circuit to the most negative part. Current defined in this manner is called conventional current.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has spent 21 months since returning to Stamford Bridge trying to mould the team spirit that he craves - and now he seems to have achieved it, labelling his side as a band of 'brothers'. Chelsea ground out a hard-fought 1-0 win over West Ham on Wednesday night and their manager reserved special praise for the togetherness of his players, with John Terry and co embracing at the final whistle before applauding the travelling support. The scenes were similar to a defining game of Mourinho's first spell at Chelsea, in an away game at Blackburn in February 2005 when Arjen Robben split the sides in a gritty Ewood Park clash. Chelsea captain John Terry (right) leads Jose Mourinho's band of 'brothers' to the away support at full-time . Terry, Gary Cahill (second left), Thibaut Courtois (second right) and Branislav Ivanovic (right) celebrate . Mourinho celebrates victory at full-time in what he considers one of the toughest away games of the season . And manager Mourinho believes that collective show of strength is exactly the sort of thing the league leaders will need to get them over the line in the Barclays Premier League title race. The Special One also confirmed that his players would be enjoying two days off with a week's gap until they play Paris Saint-Germain in the return of their Champions League last-16 tie. ‘My team were brothers on the pitch,' Mourinho said. 'That is important if you are to win the most difficult league in the world. I want to sleep now until midday. We could easily have lost two points. ‘The way West Ham play, nobody is better than them. They are the best at the way they play. It is not just to play football, the pressure, the tension and the emotion, my players were fantastic. ‘I told the referee is it very difficult to be a ref here, because of the style of their game. Lots of long balls. West Ham had lots of balls in the box, very difficult, very intense and really difficult for the referee. They complain for everything, the crowd is behind them and it is really, really difficult.' The Chelsea players, led by Mourinho (fourth left) leave the pitch at Ewood Park after winning in 2005 . Arjen Robben is congratulated by Damien Duff and Eidur Gudjohnsen after scoring against Blackburn . Joe Cole tries to skip between Robbie Savage (second left) and Lucas Neill (right) on a tough night for CHelsea . Eden Hazard scored the winner at Upton Park and was one of Chelsea's best players even after playing a full part in Chelsea's Capital One Cup final triumph over Tottenham on Sunday. And Mourinho led the plaudits for the playmaker who he has criticised in the past for his work ethic. 'Eden Hazard was fantastic,' he said. 'He is punished by opponents in a very hard way. Not in a violent way, just an aggressive football way because they tried to stop him but the kid is playing, scoring and defending.' But the Portuguese coach was less impressed with the rescheduling of Chelsea's game against Leicester, which could have been held this weekend with both clubs out of the FA Cup but will instead take place on April 9. ‘It is not a good thing that we play Leicester in two months now - that’s not a good thing, for someone in the title race to have played one match less,' he said. Cesar Azpiliceuta and Terry embrace as they leave the field together at full-time at Upton Park on Wednesday . Eden Hazard scored the only goal of the game against West Ham at Upton Park and drew Mourinho's praise . Hazard heads past West Ham goalkeeper Adrian to give Chelsea another three points in their title charge . Mourinho hugs another one of the 'brotherhood', his assistant Steve Holland at full-time on Wednesday .

Since when did the SR22 include a glass cockpit
|
SR22s and SR20s built before 2003 were equipped with traditional analog instruments and a 10" (later 12") Multi-function display (MFD). In February 2003, Cirrus began offering SR22s with the Avidyne Entegra primary flight display (PFD), making the plane the first of its kind to come with a glass cockpit. Later that year, this instrumentation became standard equipment on all SR-series aircraft and sparked a major transition in general aviation, whereby over 90% of all new light aircraft by the year 2006 were equipped with glass cockpits. Retrofits are available for the older SR aircraft that replace the analog instrument panels with one that includes a PFD, a new MFD and the installation of back-up mechanical instruments.
On 22 May 2008, Cirrus revealed the "Cirrus Perspective" glass cockpit (by Garmin). Both cockpits were available for a while (the Avidyne cockpit was initially standard equipment) and after 2008 the SR22 was sold with only the Perspective panel.
In 2009, the third-generation Cirrus SR22 GTS came equipped with a new enhanced vision system (EVS), a sophisticated dual-wavelength instrument that offers both infrared and synthetic vision.
At the 2010 EAA AirVenture, Cirrus announced its plans to certify Garmin's ESP system (Electronic Stability and Protection) on the Cirrus SR22. It included advanced flight envelope protection that could stabilize the aircraft with the push of a button, to avoid spiral from developing.
The Cirrus Perspective-Plus avionics flight deck was introduced in 2017, with a faster processing speed, animated datalink weather, payload management, visual approach capabilities, wireless database uploads, glass back-up instruments, and more.
In 2020, the Perspective-Plus flight deck included a new stabilized approach advisory system which provides alerts to the pilot of unstable conditions during approach.
|
Since February 2003 Cirrus started to offer a glass panel for the SR22. First the Avidyne Entegra was offered to customers. Also retrofits became available for older SR versions. In May 2008, Cirrus revealed the "Cirrus Perspective" glass cockpit, which was based on instruments created by Garmin.
Until today, Cirrus is including Garmin glass cockpits in it's aircrafts.

The art of management is to create an aura, to brainwash the players into believing that they can routinely beat a team every bit as good as Barcelona. It is to inspire, to send Manchester City’s players into the tunnel at the Nou Camp in the minutes before kick-off and look down their noses at Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta, Luis Suarez or Neymar. Out on the training pitches, where the real work is done, the coaches must come up with a plan to squeeze the pips out of the players over two legs in the Champions League. That is the job. It can be done. Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp took his team to the Champions League final at Wembley against Bayern Munich; last year Atletico Madrid reached the final under their clever coach Diego Simeone. Unfortunately for Manuel Pellegrini, he has come up short. This is no disgrace and there is no need to make his life a misery just because he cannot find a way to beat Barcelona. He just isn’t good enough. Manuel Pellegrini has not taken Manchester City forward and looked clueless in the Nou Camp . Pellegrini could not alter the game or put the shackles on Barcelona as City's Euro dream died . Ivan Rakitic lifts the ball over the onrushing Joe Hart and into the empty net to give Barca the advantage . Read Martin Samuel's match report from the Nou Camp as Barcelona beat Manchester City 1-0 to progress to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The temptation, in the shakedown that will follow this Champions League elimination for yet another English club, is to start over again. In the aftermath the cry now will be to send for Simeone, to send for Pep, to send for Ancelotti, or to send for someone else to have a go. The brutal truth is that it’s coming to that. Bayern Munich’s exalted coach Pep Guardiola was here, settling down to watch his former club pass City off the park in a series of dizzying spells. Possession football is anathema to English football. City spilt their guts here, exposing the size of the task to turn the current champions of the Barclays Premier League into a team capable of living with a group of players who can change the pace of a game at will. Barcelona’s tempo is soothing and reassuring. If City want to dominate in Europe, in a way that Barcelona did when they won the Champions League in 2006, 2009 and 2011, then Pellegrini is not the man. That much is clear. Since he arrived at City he has had four chances to beat Barcelona and has yet to even secure a draw. Team and coach are not up to it. City need innovation, a man with stature and the confidence to redevelop the team with some clever signings over the next couple of years. What Manchester City would give for a player like Lionel Messi, and you feel they would have to pay the earth . Lionel Messi glides past Fernandinho during another masterful display from the little Argentine . David Silva resorts to desperate measures to stop a free-flowing Lionel Messi . Messi attempts to dribble past Joe Hart as the Barca man shows his mastery once more . The Manchester City wall attempts to do its job as Messi fires in a free-kick . That dressing room isn’t right, it can’t be when a player of Yaya Toure’s supposed class can play as badly as this on a big night back at the Nou Camp. He gave up on his man Ivan Rakitic as he roamed into City’s penalty area and the ball inevitably needed up in the back of Joe Hart’s net. That aside, Hart was immense here. If this is to be a slow, painful death for Pellegrini, then the job is to breathe some life into this team for the final nine games of the league season. West Brom this weekend is some homecoming. They will need leadership in the run-in, something that was missing from the sidelines as Iniesta and Rakitic splayed the ball out to the wings for Neymar and Messi to slice their way through City’s defence. At times it was shambolic back there. When you come up against Messi, the three-time winner of the Ballon d’Or, it is down to the coach to come up with a specific tactic to stifle his impact. Here he set up the goal for Rakitic with a ball that had a golfer’s draw on it when it pinged off his left boot to meet the Barca midfielder’s run at the back post. The accuracy was frightening. Sergio Aguero reacts after seeing his late penalty saved by Marc Anrde ter-Stegen . James Milner goes to ground after challenging Marc-Andre ter Stegen as as Yaya Toure looks on . Both Vincent Kompany (left) and Martin Demichelis play the blame game during the defeat in Barcelona . Sergio Aguero’s miss from the penalty spot in the 78th minute is no more than a footnote because City were outclassed over two legs. The main man in Abu Dhabi will demand answers, a natural consequence of another premature elimination in the Champions League. To Pellegrini’s great credit, he is always unmoved by the speculation about his future, but the ball is now in Sheik Mansour’s court. Sadly for a man of integrity and honour, he has lost his appeal.

At the elite level of European competition, Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini has come up short. Not once, but every single time . If City want to dominate Europe, in a way that Barcelona did when they won the Champions League in 2009 and 2011, then Pellegrini is not their man .

Apple CEO Tim Cook still remembers the last movie he ever saw with Steve Jobs before he succumbed to cancer: the sentimental football flick Remember the Titans. 'I was so surprised he wanted to watch that movie,' Cook recalls in the new biography 'Becoming Steve Jobs,' out in bookstores now. The 2000 film starring Denzel Washington tells the true story of a newly integrated Virginia high school football team in 1971. Scroll down for video . Heir: Tim Cook (left) was tapped by Steve Jobs as his successor in August 2011, just months before the co-founder of Apple succumbed to pancreatic cancer. Here the two are pictured at a press conference on antenna problems with the iPhone4 at Apple headquarters in Cupertino, California, July 16, 2010 . Movie night to remember: In the new biography 'Becoming Jobs,' Cook recalls how six days before Jobs died, he invited his over to watch the sentimental 2000 football flick Remember the Titans (pictured) 'I was like, "Are you sure?" Steve was not interested in sports at all. And we watched and we talked about a number of things and I left thinking that he was pretty happy,' according to a CNN review of the book. Six days after Cook and Jobs' movie night, the co-founder of Apple passed away at his Palo Alto, California, estate from complications related to pancreatic cancer. He was 56 years old. The new biography of the late Apple CEO by veteran tech journalists Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli traces his decades-long evolution from a 'reckless' young inventor tinkering with early computer models into the leader of a global tech giant. The book, based on numerous in-depth interviews with Jobs' colleagues, friends and competitors, also allows a glimpse into the Apple CEO's inner sanctum in the final weeks of his life. Cook, who took the reins of Apple in August 2011, less than two months before his mentor's death, described to the authors of the biography the moment Jobs invited him over to his house to offer him the top job. ‘He told me he had decided that I should be CEO. I thought then that he thought he was going to live a lot longer when he said this, because we got into a whole level of discussion about what would it mean for me to be CEO with him as a chairman. Evolution of a genius: The new tome (left), penned by a pair of tech journalists, traces Jobs' transformation from a brash young inventor (right) into a a 'visionary leader' Music fan: Jobs, pictured here in 1977, loved the Beatles, with John Lennon being his favorite member of the band. He even reportedly named his company after the band's Apple Corps Record . ‘I asked him, “What do you really not want to do that you’re doing?” Cook recalled. ‘He says, “You make all the decisions.” I go, “Wait. Let me ask you a question.” ‘I tried to pick something that would incite him. So I said, “You mean that if I review an ad and I like it, it should just run without your okay?” And he laughed and said, “Well, I hope you’d at least ask me!”’ Cook said that every time he visited Jobs, his boss appeared to be on the mend, and he asked him two or three times whether his decision to step down as the CEO was final. Jobs never wavered. According to Tim Cook, his boss wanted a successor who would not try to copy his style of leadership but rather use his own talents for the good of the company - a model he referred to as a 'Beatles concept,' named after Liverpool's Fab Five. In an interesting titbit, the book reveals that Jobs' favorite Beatle was John Lennon, and that he reportedly named his company after Beatles' Apple Corps Record. Stepping down: Cook said that every time he visited Jobs, his boss appeared to be on the mend, and he asked him two or three times whether his decision to step down as the CEO was final. This image shows Jobs at a June 2011 presentation of the iCloud . In the days and weeks leading up to his death, Jobs was busy meeting with peers and friends . In the weeks leading up to his passing, Jobs also met up with John Lasseter, chief creative officer at Pixar, the award-winning digital animation company founded by Jobs and later sold to Disney for $7billion. ‘We talked all about Pixar... And then I kinda looked at him and he said, “Yeah I need to get a nap now.” I got up to go, and then I stopped, and I looked at him and came back. I gave him a big hug, and a kiss, and I said, “Thank you. Thank you for everything you've done for me,"’ Lasseter recalled. The Pixar animator described in one passage how a few years after Steve Jobs' death, he ran into Tim Cook at a birthday party for Jobs' widow, Laurene Powell. The two men bonded over how much they both missed Jobs, and Lasseter confided in the new Apple CEO that he still had his late boss' number on his phone. 'I said, “I'll never be able to take that out.” And Tim took out his iPhone and showed me—he still had Steve's number in his phone, too,’ he said. John Lasseter (far right), chief creative officer at Pixar, got to meet Jobs (left) one last time before his passing and thank him . Kindred spirits: Bill Gates, pictured here alongside Jobs in 1984, got to visit his former rival-turned-friend at home and talk about their legacy and what was ahead for their industry . The co-authors of 'Becoming Steve Jobs' also interviewed Microsoft founder Bill Gates, who was among the people who paid a visit to his one-time rival's Palo Alto mansion not long before his death. ‘We just talked about the things we'd done, and where we thought things were headed,' Gates recalled, graciously adding that his competitor-turned-friend was the one person who had the biggest impact on the personal computer history. In the memoir, which was released Tuesday, Tim Cook did not miss an opportunity to take a swipe at the unauthorized Steve Jobs biography by Walter Isaacson, which debuted just weeks after the Apple co-founder's death. ‘You get the feeling that [Steve’s] a greedy, selfish egomaniac. It didn’t capture the person,’ fumed Cook. ‘The person I read about there is somebody I would never have wanted to work with over all this time. Life is too short.’

Rangers boss Stuart McCall says he feels sorry for Newcastle loanee Gael Bigirimana, but admits he should never have been signed by the Ibrox club. Burundi-born England youth cap Bigirimana has yet to feature for the Light Blues after being diagnosed with a mystery illness. He was one of five Magpies youngsters signed by former Light Blues chief executive Derek Llambias without being put through a medical - even though Bigirimana knew he was sick before signing for the Glasgow giants. Gael Bigirimana has not played for Rangers since his loan move from Newcastle . The 21-year-old has denied rumours claiming he is suffering from Hepatitis-C, but Gers boss McCall confirmed his condition means he will not be able to feature for his adopted club. The former Motherwell manager would love to have the use of the former Coventry midfielder's services, but believes he should never have been allowed to make the move north in the first place. 'Bigi has got a medical condition which is a personal matter,' said McCall. 'The doctor and consultant are all involved in that. 'I knew him at Coventry. I remember watching him and thought when I came into the job he will be a good one to bring in and give us a bit of energy. Unfortunately because of his medical condition he won't be able to play for us. Bigirimana signed on loan for Rangers alongside Haris Vuckic (middle) and Remie Streete . 'But that is as big a blow to the kid as it is for us. It's not his fault, this [row] has been nothing to do with him. He comes in with a smile on his face each morning, he trains with the fitness coach as hard as he possibly can. 'So as disappointed as we are that we can't use him, you have to think of the boy in this matter because he can't go back, he can't play for anyone else. 'It's an unfortunate circumstance that really should never have happened.' Llambias - a close associate of Magpies owner Mike Ashley - signed off on the five Newcastle loan deals just hours before the January transfer window shut, but did not ask club doctors to check the players over. So far only Slovenian playmaker Haris Vuckic has played regularly. Bigirimana says he knew he was ill before he moved to Rangers . Defender Remie Streete limped off just half an hour into his debut and has not been seen since, while Northern Ireland winger Shane Ferguson has yet to even step foot inside Murray Park after being ruled out for the rest of the season with a serious knee injury. Swiss defender Kevin Mbabu has featured for Rangers' youth side but is 'nowhere' near being fit enough for first-team duty, according to McCall. The Gers boss cans sympathise with the players but hit out at the previous regime's decision to sanction some of the signings. Rangers boss Stuart McCall says he feels sorry for Newcastle loanee Bigirimana . McCall said: 'Should these guys ever have been sent here? Well, with Bigi being unable to play that's a no-brainer. With Shane, he was on his way back but had a little setback. 'But I think if you look at it in all honesty, anybody who comes up for a six-month loan should have a medical - obviously that is not the case. 'If that had occurred, two or three of the loans may not have happened. 'But none of the players are at fault here. Shane has not been up but the rest come in and train as hard as they can. They are doing their utmost to be involved.'

Decision day: David Cameron's daughter Nancyis among tens of thousands of children who will found out today if they have got in to their first choice . Almost half the children in some areas were yesterday denied their preferred secondary school as pressure grows on places. Tens of thousands of ten and 11-year-olds across the country were not given their first choice when councils announced allocations. Cities including London and Birmingham saw three in ten miss out on their favourite, while in several areas that figure was four or nearly five in ten. Competition for places is getting fiercer in many areas which have seen population increases fuelled partly by immigration. Experts said the crisis over places which has affected primary schools for several years is now transferring to secondary schools. However, efforts to expand schools in metropolitan areas where demand is most acute have been slowed by the high costs of creating new buildings. Councils notified parents of their children’s fate yesterday by email or letter, meaning some families will not receive the news for several days. The allocations to more than half a million families are likely to result in a large number of appeals. In the capital, where applications rose by 4 per cent to 84,140 compared to 80,966 the previous year, 32 per cent did not get their first choice. And while 14 per cent managed to get their second choice, 6 per cent failed to get into any of their six choices. In Hammersmith and Fulham, 45 per cent were denied their first choice. In Wandsworth and Westminster 42 per cent missed out. In Birmingham, where 14,625 of the city’s pupils applied for a secondary place, 32 per cent were rejected by their first choice, a slight rise on last year’s 30 per cent. In Bristol, 25 per cent missed out on their favourite school while Buckinghamshire was unable to offer first choice places to 26 per cent. In Essex, 14 per cent did not get their first choice. In Birmingham a third of children missed out on their first choice of secondary school, with just 68.5 per cent getting their first option. In other areas - such as Cornwall - almost all children got the place they wanted . This graph shows the percentage of children who got their first choice of school. Many children living in big cities will have to go to their second choice . David Cameron is to become the first Conservative prime minister to send a child to a state secondary school after receiving offers of a place yesterday. His daughter Nancy is understood to have applied to several London schools, including some of the most competitive in the country. ‘We have been round three or four schools in London and had a good look,’ the Prime Minister said recently. ‘My daughter has got a very large say in the matter.’ Mr Cameron and his wife Samantha are understood to have included the Grey Coat Hospital academy, a Church of England school a short walk from Downing Street, on their list of applications. The school is rated outstanding by Ofsted and is one of the most sought-after in the area, with seven applications for every place. It takes girls aged 11 to 18 and boys only in the sixth form. The Camerons have also considered Lady Margaret School, an academy in Fulham, West London, also a Church of England school rated outstanding. And they are thought to have looked at Holland Park School, one of the first comprehensives in the UK where Labour grandees such as the late Tony Benn sent their children. Mrs Cameron, who was educated at private Marlborough College, is said to have told friends she is keen for Nancy to have a ‘normal education’. Yesterday’s figures show around 42 per cent of applicants in Westminster have not been given their first preference of school. In some areas competition was less fierce, with 98 per cent getting their first preference in Cornwall and more than 95 per cent in Swindon, Derbyshire, Doncaster, Durham and East Riding. Under the admissions system, families list their school preferences and are then allocated places according to the schools’ admissions criteria. Factors can include proximity to the school, faith or ability – with some schools specifying how many bright, average and low ability pupils they will admit. Some of the most popular choices are grammar and faith schools, as well as well-performing free schools and academies. Helen Jenner, chairman of the Pan London Admissions Board, said: ‘Demand for places is growing, as we are beginning to see the pressure on primary schools transfer to secondary.’ Rachel Burrows, editor of the Netmums website, said: ‘It has never been harder to get your child into the school you want. The system is simply not working for schools or parents.’ Early analysis suggests that, outside the capital, around one in seven pupils will miss out on their first choice of school this year. This figure is based on 23 authorities that gave full figures. In London, just over two-thirds – 67.56 per cent – of applicants have got their top choice. The proportion of children gaining their first choice of secondary school fell for the first time in five years in 2014. Around 14.8 per cent of applicants – about 77,100 youngsters – missed out, up from 13.3 per cent in 2013. A Department for Education spokesman said the Government had invested more than £5billion to create more than 445,000 new school places since 2010. He added: ‘Last year over 95 per cent of parents got one of their top three choices.’ Low figures: Of the parents who applied to Birmingham City Council, pictured, one in three were rejected from their first choice school and one in ten were offered places outside the city . West Berkshire: 92 per cent . Derbyshire: 95.4 per cent . Birmingham: 68.5 per cent . Herefordshire: 94.95 per cent . Cornwall: 97.85 per cent . East Riding: 97.2 per cent . North Somerset: 92 per cent . Lincolnshire: 93 per cent . North Lincolnshire: 92.07 per cent . Plymouth: 94.86 per cent . Bournemouth: 88.5 per cent . Southampton: 86.4 per cent . Sandwell: 73.92 per cent . Bristol: 75 per cent . Poole: 87 per cent . Sheffield: 86.48 per cent . Kirklees: 83.1 per cent . Leicestershire: 94.2 per cent . Leeds: 83 per cent . Warwickshire: 79.65 per cent . Hartlepool: 93 per cent . Rochdale: 90 per cent . Essex: 86 per cent . York: 92.1 per cent . Sefton: 92 per cent . Swindon: 95.6 per cent . Nottinghamshire: 94.2 per cent . Torbay: 84.13 per cent . Portsmouth: 86.4 per cent . Redcar and Cleveland: 96.97 per cent . Bracknell Forest: 78 per cent . Doncaster: 95 per cent . St Helens: 95.3 per cent . Tameside: 86.8 per cent . West Sussex: 87.5 per cent . Buckinghamshire: 74.01 per cent . Durham: 95.8 per cent . Derby: 86.1 per cent . Hertfordshire: 94.86 per cent .

A mother left with mounds of overhanging skin after losing 10 stone through a gastric bypass is begging to have it removed on the NHS so she can find love. Sarah Lord, of Wakefield, was a size 12 before she fell pregnant with her daughter Bryony, now 12. But after her relationship with Bryony's father came to an end four months into her pregnancy, she became depressed and gave into cravings and comfort eating. The 30-year-old was referred for bariatric surgery by her doctor, and went on to lose 10 stone, swapping a diet of fry ups and pies for stir fries and fruit. Sarah Lord, 30, lost 10st after a gastric bypass operation in September 2010, after ballooning to a size 24. She is pictured before (left) and after her weight loss (right), now back to a size 12 . Although she says she feels healthier after losing weight, Miss Lord has been left with a huge flap of excess skin which has ruined her confidence and left her too insecure to attract men or wear a bikini . Miss Lord had become depressed after a break-up four months into her pregnancy, and gained weight after turning to comfort eating (left). After her gastric bypass (right) she changed her diet and began exercising . The procedure has left her with a pouch of saggy skin around her waist, which she says has ruined her confidence and left her unable to attract men. Miss Lord, who works as a team leader for the Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust, said: 'I've gained a lot of positives, but the saggy skin is holding me back from my happy ending. 'I'd like to have someone to share my life with - and no man can fancy me with all this excess skin. I need to get it removed. 'I've asked the NHS for another funded op - now I just need to hear back from my doctor to see if I qualify.' At 16 weeks into her pregnancy, Miss Lord's relationship with her daughter's father broke down. She said: 'The pregnancy was making me feeling anxious enough, and the breakup was very upsetting. I fell into a dip of depression, which I coped with through eating.' By the time Bryony was attending her first days at school, Miss Lord had ballooned six dress sizes and gained ten stone, leaving her at 22 stone and size 24. BEFORE . Breakfast: Bacon, egg and sausage sandwich . Lunch: Pie and chips . Dinner: Beef stew with Yorkshire pudding . Snacks: Crisps and chocolate . AFTER . Breakfast: Cereal . Lunch: Jacket potato and salad . Dinner: Chicken stir fry with vegetables . Snacks: Fruit and yoghurt . She said: 'I was in and out of hospital for various reasons. As my weight increased I seemed to be more prone to abscesses under my arms and on my bikini line. 'Friends thought I was bubbly and outgoing, but inside I was finding things really difficult. 'Whenever I found myself in an argument with anyone, my size was the first thing they would pick on, and it really hurt when they did. 'As people used harsh names, I became more and more reclusive.' Her depression reached such a state that she was recommended a course of antidepressants by her GP, but she decided against relying on drugs to improve her mood. Eventually, her doctor suggested that a NHS gastric bypass would combat her mounting health problems and attack the route cause of her depression. After an assessment she underwent the procedure at Dewsbury and District Hospital in September 2010. She said: 'Before the bypass I'd tried to lose weight in the gym, but nothing had ever worked. 'The weight loss after the operation was unbelievable. I lost eight stone in a year, and a further two the year after that. 'Instead of spending my evenings gorging on food I got involved in some intense boot camps at my local gym. There were moments after a heavy session where I could barely walk. 'I was exercising five times a week and the pounds were melting away.' Miss Lord, pictured part way through her weight loss (left), and now that she has lost 10 stone (right) says her excess skin has left her less confident than when she was overweight . She also completely overhauled her diet, further accelerating her weight loss. Before her operation, she typically ate a greasy bacon, egg and sausage sarnie for breakfast, followed by pie and chips for lunch. In the evenings she would tuck into comfort food like beef stew with Yorkshire puddings. She snacked on crisps and chocolate throughout the day. After the bypass, she enjoyed cereal for breakfast, followed by jacket potato and salad for lunch. For her evening meal she typically made chicken stir-fry with plenty of vegetables. When she snacks today, she indulges on fruit and yoghurt. While her physical appearance and general health improved, she found her confidence dipping. She said: 'There's absolutely no question about whether or not I feel healthier, but whether or not I feel more confident, that's a whole different story. 'In the past I was confident enough to meet up with men after meeting them on a night out, but I wouldn't do it again. I don't feel comfortable with my loose skin. 'Now whenever I find myself talking to a man at a bar I always make an excuse to leave early. I tend to just say "I'm with someone else". 'When I'm on holiday I'll always wear a modest swimsuit. I never wear anything tight around my stomach area.' Miss Lord is happy to be healthier after the gastric bypass, but desperately wants the NHS to remove the excess skin. Such a procedure would cost around £15,000 at a private clinic . She is now waiting for a green light from NHS bosses so that she can have an operation to remove the saggy skin from her waistline. The cost of such an operation from a private clinic would be around £15,000. She said: 'My GP has tried to get me funding for the operation four times but every time it has been denied. 'This is my fifth application for the saggy skin removal op so I am really hoping that I am eligible this time.' Despite her struggles with low confidence, Miss Lord said she has gained a lot of positives. She said: 'I feel much more freedom in my movement and my daughter Bryony looks up to me. I wouldn't want her to end up like how I did.' After weight loss, proteins in skin tear and break, resulting in a loss of elasticity and strength . Losing weight is the answer to many people's prayers. But they may not realise dramatic weight loss can have a deeply distressing side-effect: excess skin. This hidden downside of losing weight occurs as a result of damage to the deeper layers of skin, the dermis, which contains two proteins: elastin, which helps it retract, and collagen, for strength. When the skin is stretched too much through weight gain, these proteins tear and break, resulting in a loss of elasticity and strength. Unfortunately, while losing weight causes the fat cells to lose their fat, the skin cannot retract. It is linked unpleasant health problems, from infections to back pain. Doctors say the excess skin after weight loss is the same skin damage that occurs during pregnancy — but all over the body. Factors that affect how much skin is left include age, how quickly the weight was lost (gastric bands are slower than bypasses, for example), and, for women, the number of children she has had. Many patients patients develop an 'apron' of skin around the abdomen, and loose skin under the arms, chest and inner thighs. This excess skin can cause a range of medical problems. One of the most common is intertrigo - a bacterial, fungal, or viral infection that occurs often due to the difficulty in keeping these folds of excess skin clean and dry. Patients also find the folds of skin make it difficult to exercise. Excess skin is a problem particularly for people who undergo weight loss surgery.

Los Angeles (CNN)The search for a rookie Los Angeles Police Department officer suspected of homicide has expanded into an international manhunt, focused on the border cities of El Paso, Texas, and Ciudad Juarez, Mexico. The FBI said Friday it believes AWOL policeman Henry Solis is armed and dangerous and drove 800 miles across the desert from Southern California to El Paso with his father in a pickup a week ago. The FBI is offering $25,000 for information leading directly to the arrest of Solis in connection with the death of Salome Rodriguez, 23, who died after a fight between the men in a downtown Pomona, California, bar. "The pattern suggests he crossed into Mexico, but he has family and friends living in El Paso and Ciudad Juarez," said Scott Garriola, special FBI agent who runs the fugitive task force from the Los Angeles Bureau. "So he could be on either side of the border." "It's a quick bus ride from the interior of Mexico to other parts of the country and Central America." The FBI, Pomona Police and Los Angeles County District Attorney declined to comment on whether Victor Solis might face charges for allegedly helping his son flee to El Paso. Garriola said Solis is a veteran of the Marines and "he has extensive training and weapons" understanding. Authorities posted three photos of Solis, with and without facial hair, and said he may now have a full beard. Police said after the early morning bar fight Solis pursued his victim on foot in the nightclub district and shot him multiple times. Garriola said Solis then reportedly called his father in Lancaster, California, and later that morning they began the trek to El Paso. Victor Solis said he dropped off his son at a bus stop in El Paso and his son made some incriminating statements "not only about his actions that day but also that he would never be seen again," Garriola said. Henry Solis worked in the Devonshire Division of the San Fernando Valley, where he rode with a training officer. Earlier this week, LAPD Chief Charlie Beck fired Solis and appealed for him to give up. "You have dishonored this police department, your country and your service to your country," Beck said. Marine Corps records say Solis served in Iraq from April to November 2007, earning several medals, including for the Iraq campaign, global war on terrorism service and Marine Corps good conduct. The personnel file also shows Solis was an aircraft maintenance technician and a security guard. Garriola said he was confident Solis will be caught, and said he shared Beck's opinion of Solis. "It's a brother law enforcement officer, he served our country, we echo that same indignation."

Reigning US Open Champion Marin Cilic is already looking ahead to Wimbledon and eyeing his next Grand Slam title. ‘Wimbledon is the first tournament I’ve got my eye on,’ said Cilic, who lost to Juan Monaco on Saturday night in Indian Wells in his first match of the year after a shoulder injury. ‘I’m going to try to peak my form for Wimbledon time.’ The world No 10 believes that the grass court credentials of his coach Goran Ivanisevic, who won the title in 2001, can help him conquer SW19. Marin Cilic was upset by Juan Monaco in the second round of the BNP Paribas Open in California . The Croatian star has set his sights on Wimbledon in his bid to win a second Grand Slam . ‘I believe having Goran in my corner, who has been known in history as one of the best grass court players ever, is a big plus. Wimbledon is a big target for me. ‘Even last year we approached the grass court tournaments differently. When I started to play last year I straight away felt better than before and I feel its going to be similar this year.’ Cilic had an excellent run at Wimbledon 2014, knocking out Tomas Berdych in straight sets before going down in five to Novak Djokovic and that run, coupled with his maiden slam title in Flushing Meadows in September, leaves him feeling confident that he can have a successful trip to London. Cilic is coached by compatriot Goran Ivanisevic who won the Wimbledon title in 2001 . Cilic holds aloft the US Open trophy after winning his first Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows last year . ‘I think I have a good chance of winning Wimbledon,’ said the 26-year-old. ‘In 2014 I played really well over there and lost to eventual champion Djokovic in a pretty close match. ‘I felt the best on the grass ever last year and that’s what’s giving the most confidence. And, with the experience of winning the US Open, I can carry that on into grand slam tournaments.’ The 6ft 6in Croat was speaking after his nomination for breakthrough sportsperson of the year at the 2015 Laureus World Sports Awards. He credits Ivanisevic for his superb 2014 season. ‘Goran was extremely hard working as a player and he still is,’ said Cilic. ‘We tried to push my game to be more aggressive, to play my own game rather than thinking about the tactics of the other guys. ‘He helped me a lot with my serve and in all areas he was a huge help. Goran knows tennis.’ Cilic reached the quarter finals at the Championships in 2014 before losing to eventual winner Novak Djokovic . Boris Becker is one of several 'supercoaches' taking charge of top players on the ATP Tour . Ivanisevic is part of the growing army of ‘supercoaches’ – well-known former players who are helping to guide a new generation. The trend was started by Andy Murray hiring Ivan Lendl, and Cilic believes that big-name players make the best coaches. ‘They know the game,’ he said. ‘They’ve been through many of the same situations in their own careers. Goran teaches me to not do the same mistakes he was doing during his career. It’s huge to have someone who has won a grand slam in your corner.’ He has matched his coach in winning a grand slam. He has matched his Laureus nomination (Ivanisevic won the 2002 comeback award). Now Cilic is ready to equal his mentor’s most famous achievement by winning the Wimbledon title.

The Australian businessman charged with horrific acts of child abuse acted as the ring leader of an international paedophile ring that served Australian clients, according to investigators. Peter Gerard Scully's latest alleged victim, a 13 year-old girl, has told police she was supposed to meet one of the disgraced businessman's Australian clients and carry out lewd sex acts on camera. However, the girl told investigators plans were changed at late notice and Scully tried to sell her to a German man for the equivalent of $2924 instead, The Age reports. Peter Gerard Scully alleged operated an international paedophile ring that served Australian clients, according to AFP investigators. Scully's alleged crimes are so heinous they have led to renewed calls to reintroduce the death penalty. Videos seized in the Philippines last week allegedly show the 13-year-old girl being forced to perform lewd acts with a baby aged one and girl toddler aged five, according to investigators. The videos shows whipping and torture along with other horrific acts, and was described by police as the most shocking child pornography that has ever been discovered in the Philippines. His alleged victim was also forced to call him 'Uncle Peter' and started working for him, after he had promised to cover her schooling costs. 'Because (he) pay a big amount that's why I had to do that,' the girl said. It is claimed Scully abused more than a dozen children in the three years he was in the Philippines, during which time he moved house frequently and assembled a team of more than four foreign accomplices and half a dozen Filipino workers in a lucrative 'pay for view' online child pornography business. Peter Gerald Scully (right) was arrested for human trafficking and child porn-related offences arising from his alleged sexual abuse of Filipino girls which was filmed and then posted online for paying clients . Reportedly, Scully slipped out of Melbourne and fled to Manila in 2011 after he allegedly scammed more than $2.68 million from 20 investors in an investment scheme. The 52-year-old was under investigation from 2009 by the Australian Securities and Investment Commission but avoided being charged with 117 fraud and deception offences, having departed Victoria. He returned to Australia accompanied by a Malaysian teenager named Ling in 2011, who was believed to be his 'girlfriend' before he turned her into a prostitute, associates claim. 'Because (he) pay a big amount that's why I had to do that,' his alleged victim told police investigators. The allegations emerged after the father-of-two was arrested last month after the body of a teenage girl was found buried under a house he rented in Malaybalay, Bukidnon. He was formally charged on Friday. The Age reports Scully was never charged with child sex crimes in Victoria but a number of associates claimed he had a horrific sexual history. An unnamed former business associate, who lost more than $200,000 in the fraudulent scheme, told The Age he was neither surprised about the recent charges laid against Scully. 'Does it surprise me?' the associate told The Age. 'Yes and no. The signs were always there for him, but it's gone to a dark place.' Agent Janet Francisco (right) , who was responsible for cracking the case and the rescue of several victims from Scully's house, is pictured with one of the rescued girls (left) A search warrant was issued for his arrest in 2012 but Scully remained in the Philippines, where he allegedly established a lucrative business live-streaming videos in a 'pay for view' scheme. Police alleged Scully would undertake acts in response to requests from his clients from across the globe, who paid to live-stream videos of children being tortured and sexually abused. It has sparked such an outrage in the Philippines that calls are growing daily to have him executed. The death penalty was suspended in the Philippines in 2006, but an influential conservative politician told The Sydney Morning Herald that the Australian's alleged crimes were so depraved he should be put to death. 'The Philippine government should directly and seriously address the problem of paedophilia, child exploitation and sexual abuse by supporting the move to reimpose the death penalty,' Nationalist People's Coalition MP Sherwin Gatchalian said. The remains of a 10-year-old girl were found at a home formerly rented by Scully after he was arrested . Scully avoided arrest until February 20 this year before a former partner told police that Scully had killed one of his child victims in 2013. It was after this shocking revelation that the remains of a 10-year-old girl were found at a home formerly rented by Scully. An extremely graphic and distressing account by two young girls, who survived the trauma of Scully's alleged torturous abuse, paints a horrifying picture of what at least a dozen children are alleged to have endured in his home. Cousins, going by the name of Daisy,11, and and Queenie, 10, told rappler news site about the fateful day in September 2014 when they were approached by Scully's live-in partner, Carme Ann 'Angel' Alvarez. Alvarez, who was only 17 at the time and an alleged former victim of Scully's, offered the girls food at Centrio Mall in Cagayan de Oro City and then invited them back to their house. Daisy said when they got to the house, Alvarez bathed the girls while Scully, who she referred to as the 'American', videoed them. The next morning the girls were asked to start digging a hole in the ground but had no idea why they had been asked to do the unusual task. It was then after lunch that things became even more disturbing when allegedly Scully undressed the girls and told them to kiss each other. Sorry we are not currently accepting comments on this article.

Steven Gerrard's sending-off was so quick that the clock on the Anfield scoreboard was stuck on 00.00 when he was given his marching orders at the start of the second half. The official time referee Martin Atkinson produced the red card was after just 38 seconds. The sending off was so quick that Gerrard became the subject of jokes and virals on social media, including a mock heat map of his brief time on the pitch.

(CNN)Things got testy on "CNN Tonight" when conservative commentator Ben Ferguson charged that rappers like Trinidad James are profiting off the n-word. "I'll be honest with you," Ferguson told James on Monday night. "I think you know that we should probably get rid of the n-word, but in reality, I think many rappers are afraid they will lose out on money and sales and street cred if they don't stop using the word." The two were part of a panel discussion about who can say the n-word. The panel also included CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill. "I'm making money off of doing music and being creative, sir," James responded. "I'm not making money just because I use the n-word. Nobody goes to buy an album because it's full of the n-word." To which Ferguson responded: "Trinidad, you wouldn't be on this show tonight if it wasn't for using the n-word in your rap music. Let's be honest." Trinidad James is the rapper whose hit song, "All Gold Everything," is heard playing in the background as the house mother of the University of Oklahoma Sigma Alpha Epsilon house -- known as Mom B. -- was caught on a Vine video repeating the n-word seven times on camera. The woman, Beauton Gilbow, was bombarded with claims that she's just as racist as the fraternity members who were caught singing a racist song on a bus earlier this month. In a previous interview with CNN, James said he was willing to give the house mom a pass -- though he said he didn't condone her use of the word. But when Ferguson said Monday the rapper was only on the show for his use of the word, the third panelist -- Hill -- quickly jumped in. "He wouldn't be on the show if a white woman hadn't said the n-word on a tape," he said. "White people have been saying the [n-word] long before Trinidad was born." Watch the full exchange above.

Arsenal and Southampton are battling it out over a deal worth £1m for Newcastle keeper Freddie Woodman. The England Under-19, who plays for the national team against France on Tuesday evening as they target a place in the European Championship finals, is one of the biggest prospects in the game. Woodman, the 18-year-old who is the son of Newcastle’s keeper coach Andy Woodman, has already represented England at Under-16 and Under-17 level. Freddie Woodman holds the ball during a Newcastle United training session last month . Woodman (centre) makes a save during an U21 Premier League match against Stoke earlier this month . Arsenal and Saints are both looking to the future and Woodman, who is a regular in Newcastle’s Under-21 team, is on the wanted list. Woodman, who has been on the bench for the first team, helped England win the Under-17 championships in Malta last summer. Newcastle want Woodman to stay at St James’ Park, but the young keeper will be tempted by interest from other teams in the Barclays Premier League. Arsenal and Saints, who have already put down their markers for the keeper, would allow Woodman out on loan next season to gain vital first team experience. Woodman (second right) catches the ball during a session with Newcastle goalkeeping coach and father Andy .

Given a reference text about the Salt River, tell me how long the river is and where it starts and finishes.
|
The Salt River is a formerly navigable hanging channel of the Eel River which flowed about 9 miles (14 km) from near Fortuna and Waddington, California, to the estuary at the Pacific Ocean, until siltation from logging and agricultural practices essentially closed the channel. It was historically an important navigation route until the early 20th century. It now intercepts and drains tributaries from the Wildcat Hills along the south side of the Eel River floodplain. Efforts to restore the river began in 1987, permits and construction began in 2012, and water first flowed in the restored channel in October 2013.

A teenage girl was left needing surgery after following an attack by 30 people, with one hitting her over the head with a skateboard. Brooklyn Smith, 16, was at Venice Beach Skate Park in Los Angeles with her boyfriend on Thursday night when two of the suspects asked where they were from. One of the pair then said: 'That's her, that's her,' and the next thing she knew she was knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched and kicked, while bystanders did nothing. Scroll down for videos . A man is seen seconds after hitting Brooklyn Smith, 16, over the head with a skateboard during a confrontation in Venice Beach, Los Angeles . The teenager is seen lying on the ground as a group of skateboarders surround her. Bystanders watch as the brutal attack unfolds . She was left with a four-inch gash in the back of her head which had to be closed together with staples. The man who clubbed her with the skateboard was seen dragging her across the road before he started hitting her. She told KTLA they recognized her from a confrontation in February when she was told not to come back to the area. Graphic footage of the violent incident was captured on a cellphone. It was then sent to the police. Brooklyn can be heard wailing in pain after the person filming says she just cracked. The youngster said she blacked out after she was struck and then reached back to feel her head. When she saw her hands they were covered in blood .

When did the maximum rate of water usage begin to be mandated?
|
A low-flow fixture is a water saving plumbing fixture designed to achieve water savings by having a lower flow rate of water or a smaller quantity per flush. Some of these low-flow fixtures are faucets, showerheads, and toilets. In the United States a maximum water usage of conventional plumbing fixtures was federally mandated by the Energy policy act of 1992. Low-flow fixtures are designed to save water over conventional fixtures by having a lower flow rate while still maintaining satisfactory performance. The Environmental protection agency (EPA) WaterSense program has requirements for plumbing fixtures to achieve their definition for water saving low-flow.

Another weekend and more discussions and dissatisfaction with officiating. At Old Trafford I could actually understand how Roger East thought that Wes Brown had clipped Radamel Falcao but the clear and obvious foul was clearly by John O'Shea. East was right to award the penalty kick. What mystified me was that the PGMO decided, unusually, to issue a statement regarding the incident, perhaps in an attempt to support one of their officials. East's statement, in which he felt Brown had made the foul for the penalty, makes it impossible for the FA to transfer the red card to O'Shea as they can only do so when the referee accepts that he has disciplined the wrong player. Wes Brown was sent off for a foul on Falcao even though it appeared John O'Shea made the contact . Gus Poyet's side are appealing Brown's red card but an overturn isn't certain . Roger East sends off Brown (right) and Poll admits he can understand his decision to show him the red card . Now the red card will be issued to Brown, although he has appealed it as he did not foul Falcao. Had no statement been made then the card could have been transferred and natural justice could have taken place - even when referees get decisions right there appears to be a mess-up. Nothing is certain, however, in the discredited disciplinary process following the Ashley Barnes and Nemanja Matic incident. Barnes could not be charged for a clearly and widely accepted red card challenge while a player guilty of violent conduct, according to the FA, had a reduced ban for some bizarre reason. Either he was guilty or not. Another example is that Crystal Palace captain Mile Jedinak should be charged for his clearly deliberate forearm smash on West Ham's Diafra Sakho towards the end of Palace's win at Upton Park. It appeared to be unseen by referee Mike Dean but was around the area of active play, where the ball was present, so could that be deemed as 're-refereeing' an incident? I hope not as the Australian certainly deserves a ban for the mindless assault. Mile Jedinak's elbow was labelled a 'mindless assault' and Poll says he should be punished . The Crystal Palace midfielder caught West Ham striker Diafra Sakho and was lucky not to injure him . There was more dissatisfaction, and this time by both mangers over the performance of referee Neil Swarbrick at The Britannia Stadium. There were three key incidents although both Steve Bruce and Mark Hughes seemed less than happy with the general refereeing. Two acts of serious foul play escaped Swarbrick's detection and Stephen Ireland was involved in both. First he went into a challenge with David Meyler leading with a sideways, stamping studs first boot which could have caused a really nasty injury – it certainly endangered his opponents safety and should have led to a red card. Just ten minutes later it appeared that Hull's Maynor Figueroa decided to take the law into his own hands and went through Ireland from behind, raking straight down the back of the Stoke midfielder's calf and causing a nasty injury. Another red card tackle which didn't even merit yellow for Swarbrick. Perhaps the FA will act or maybe they'll say they cannot. The fact that the only goal of the game came from Peter Crouch who was in an offside position led to more understandable frustration. Unfortunately the video replays that the game needs to correct such errors was turned down by the IFAB at their meeting this weekend. Stephen Ireland lies injured after a after a tackle from Maynor Figueroa which left him needing stitches . The Honduras international is unlikely to receive any ban from the FA as the officials saw the incident .

On the way home from Old Trafford on Monday night, the debate, as it turned out, was the wrong debate. Should Danny Welbeck have been sold to Arsenal last summer? Should he have celebrated his winning goal back in Manchester? Both questions were irrelevant. Welbeck is an honest and talented footballer but he wouldn’t make a difference to Louis van Gaal’s United. He is good without being really good. Danny Welbeck shoots to score the winning goal against Manchester United on Monday night at Old Trafford . A stranded David de Gea (right) looks on as the goalkeeper was beaten by former United player Welbeck . Welbeck celebrated his goal against his former club as Arsenal won the FA Cup tie 2-1 . Welbeck is swamped by his Arsenal team-mates on a night to forget for United supporters . United manager Louis van Gaal (left) and assistant Ryan Giggs watch on during their latest defeat . Welbeck, whose international record is better than his club record, scored a well-taken and well-anticipated goal on Monday and celebrated appropriately. His overall performance, though, was modest. Had he been playing in red rather than in blue and yellow, the result would not have been different. On Tuesday Welbeck said: ‘Manchester United is a club that means so much to me. I’m a fan and it’s hard to knock them out. I’ll always respect the fans. I had a lovely reception and I’m thankful for that.’ But United’s problems under Van Gaal go much deeper than any associated with his decision last August to sell a player he figured — with reason — would have been his fourth-choice centre forward. Van Gaal cut a frustrated figure during the match as he and his team lost their last chance of a trophy . United's (left to right) Marouane Fellaini, Michael Carrick and Wayne Rooney look frustrated on the pitch . Tactical genius? Not quite. Louis van Gaal received 3/10 for his tactics on Monday night, but what about the players? CLICK HERE FOR FULL RATINGS . The most telling moments of this FA Cup tie came in the second half. It was a close game at that point. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger will have been disappointed his team had conceded an equaliser so carelessly so soon after taking the lead but at half-time he appeared to tell his team to continue in the same vein. Van Gaal, however, sniffed danger, or thought he did. He made two substitutions, neither of them positive, and that seemed indicative of a coach unsure of his players and unconvinced by his original plan. He did a similar thing at Swansea recently and United lost that one, too. Later, with United chasing in the wake of Welbeck’s goal and Angel di Maria’s sending-off, Van Gaal pushed Marouane Fellaini — and, soon after, Chris Smalling — to the top of the United formation and asked them to feed off a diet of long balls pumped from their own half. Angel di Maria is sent off by referee Michael Oliver after the midfielder grabbed the official's shirt . Di Maria applauds the United supporters after being sent off for manhandling the referee during the tie . Radamel Falcao sits on the bench next to Juan Mata as the on-loan striker went unused against Arsenal . Van Gaal issues instructions alongside Giggs but their tactics and substitutions were questionable . With their exit from the FA Cup against Arsenal, Manchester United's attention now rests solely on the Premier League. Yet United haven't beaten a side currently in the top half since their home win against Liverpool in mid December last year. CLICK HERE FOR THE FULL STORY . This is a valid tactic and one that worked at West Ham last month. Fellaini, in particular, can be strangely effective in that role. Nevertheless, while this was going on, United’s Spanish playmaker Juan Mata and their Colombian centre forward Radamel Falcao sat in the dug-out. They were still there when an aimless hoof from Phil Jones rolled out of play for a goal-kick and referee Michael Oliver signalled the end of the game. This, perhaps, is most damning. Van Gaal’s tactical preferences can be discussed all night long. United, whether they knew it or not, hired a pragmatist last summer and it is that side of the manager that the supporters are seeing now. More pertinent is the fact that one of European football’s leading coaches decided — at the sharp end of a home cup tie that he knew his team must win — to put his trust in some Hackney Marshes football rather than ask two players in whom his club has invested millions of pounds to go on and change the game through method and design. It is a strange state of affairs and one that tells us Van Gaal has limited faith in his players. It also points to problems that will greatly affect United’s transfer strategy this summer. Calum Chambers of Arsenal competes for the ball with Adnan Januzaj and Marouane Fellaini . Van Gaal knows he has to look for a new right back, central defender, holding midfielder and forward . Van Gaal's tactics have been questionable this season since he came to United as manager . They’re out of the FA Cup and Manchester United face the hardest run-in of the top-four hopefuls...

Van Gaal knows he needs a right back, central defender, holding midfielder and a centre forward. That is probably about £150million right there. The Dutch coach also knows, however, that he needs to ease out some very big names to make that happen. Van Gaal has to make decisions about Mata, Falcao, Robin van Persie and Rafael da Silva and that is before he addresses the issue of whether less glamorous types such as Jones, Smalling and Jonny Evans are evergoing to mature into footballers good enough to help United back to the top of the Premier League. Van Gaal has spoken many times about his squad lacking balance. What he has been understandably less candid about is the fact that it is just not good enough. There are problems with players such as Di Maria that need time and tactical tuning to address. There is, at least, no doubt about his quality. The cross he delivered for Wayne Rooney to equalise on Monday was evidence of that. Di Maria is not the issue. It is the supporting cast — such as Adnan Januzaj and Ashley Young — that Van Gaal remains unsure about. At Arsenal, Wenger has his critics. His team remain skittish and unpredictable. Nobody can accuse the Arsenal manager of not knowing his own mind, however. There is a methodical consistency about Wenger that, for better or for worse, is clear from the way he chooses and sets up his teams. The same cannot be said about Van Gaal. At the United training ground on Wednesday, the increasingly irritable manager will be looking for something new, trying to find yet another way of turning water into wine before Sunday’s home game with Tottenham. What is unclear though, is whether this constant changing of personnel and tactics tells us more about the limitations of the manager or the players. Arsenal applaud their travelling fans at the Theatre of Dreams after claiming victory over United . Arsenal will feel the better of both sides as United continue to stumble in Van Gaal's debut season in England .

Leeds United delivered a masterclass in smash and grab football as they were battered by Fulham but stole away from Craven Cottage with a resounding 3-0 victory. The game marked five years to the day Fulham beat Juventus 4-1 in the Europa League, arguably the greatest night in the club’s history. But defeat left them only six points clear of relegation to League One. Sam Byram leaps highest to send Leeds United into the lead against Fulham at Craven Cottage . Byram beats his man as the Yorkshire side take the lead against Fulham in west London . Fulham: Bettinelli, Richards, Hutchinson, Turner, Stafylidis, Parker, Hoogland, Tunnicliffe, Ruiz (Kacaniklic 63), McCormack (Fofana 83), Smith. Subs Not Used: Kiraly, Bodurov, Woodrow, Rodallega, Kavanagh. Sent Off: Stafylidis (52). Booked: Stafylidis. Leeds: Silvestri, Wootton, Bamba, Bellusci, Berardi, Cook, Murphy, Byram, Mowatt (Antenucci 83), Charlie Taylor, Sharp (Morison 67). Subs Not Used: Cani, Stuart Taylor, Doukara, Cooper, Sloth. Booked: Sharp,Bamba. Goals: Byram 40,Bamba 48,Antenucci 88. Att: 19,200 . Ref: Chris Kavanagh (Lancashire). Manager Kit Symons, who was a coach at Fulham in 2010 in that memorable night, was aware of the anniversary. ‘That’s football,’ was all he could summon about their fall, adding: ‘We had 27 shots altogether, I’m incredibly frustrated. ‘I thought we were excellent first half, created numerous chances and didn't take them. I’ve been in and around football for a long time, often there’s sucker punch if you don't take chances. ‘We need three wins to stay up, it’s down to us to go get them. We probably had enough chances to win three games here.’ Twice the home side’s defence fell apart either side of half-time to allow Sam Byram and Sol Bamba to head Leeds ahead. Fulham went down to 10 men and still managed to outplay their opponents, until substitute Mirco Antenucci made it three late on. It was inexplicable that Fulham were not in front before Leeds took the lead, five minutes before the break. Ross McCormack and Matt Smith, facing their former club, raced through early on but could not convert. Bryan Ruiz almost caught out Leeds goalkeeper Marco Silvestri with a 35-yard lob, but he tipped over, then hit the crossbar from a corner. But out of nowhere, Leeds scored when Gaetano Berardi crossed for Byram to head in completely unmarked and by seven minutes into the second half the home team completely capitulated. On 48 minutes Leeds went two ahead, an Alex Mowatt corner bouncing all the way through Fulham’s box to allow defender Bamba to head in at the back post. Then left-back Konstantinos Stafylidis was sent off for two yellow cards within 45 seconds of each other to end any hope of a comeback. Sol Bamba doubles the travelling side's lead as he heads past Marcus Bettinelli in the Fulham goal . Leeds United's Bamba celebrates scoring his side's second goal of the game with teammate Billy Sharp . Symons said: ’It was ridiculous getting the second so soon after the first. He dived in right in front of the Leeds fans for the second. It seemed the ref was moving on, but someone was in his ear then he changed his mind and went for the second yellow. It was rash and petulant.’ Fulham continued to dominate, despite having a man less, until the 88th minute when Antenucci scored with a first-time shot. Leeds manager Neil Redfearn said: ’Our lot got a bollocking at half time, I thought we were off the pace. We worked it out and toughed it out. It could’ve been four or five by the end.’ Kostas Stafylidis of Fulham is sent off for a second yellow card offence by referee Chris Kavangh .

Ben Evans has had surgery after rupturing his hamstring against St Helens . Warrington's Wales international Ben Evans is set to spend around four months recuperating from a ruptured hamstring. The 22-year-old prop suffered the horrific injury during the Wolves' 32-24 defeat by Super League leaders St Helens last Thursday. He spent the weekend in London, where he underwent surgery, before returning to Warrington on Sunday night. 'It was a particularly nasty injury and he was in a considerable amount of discomfort at the time,' Warrington assistant coach Richard Agar said. 'But they got him off to hospital as soon as they possibly could and got him down to London the next day to see the specialist. 'He's had a fairly extensive operation to re-attach it but it's going to be a long injury. The first estimates are around four months but all that will depend on the success of the operation and how he rehabs. 'If it goes well for him, he will have a chance of playing again this year and at this place he is going to get the best medical care.' The Wales international (centre) will be sidelined, alongside brother Rhys, for around four months . Evans will have the company of his twin brother Rhys, the Warrington winger, during his recovery period. Rhys underwent shoulder surgery after damaging it during the Wolves' World Club Series clash with St George Illawarra in February and is facing a similar length of time on the sidelines. 'It's sad for Ben because he's got an opportunity that he had been patiently waiting for,' added Agar. 'Both him and Rhys have now picked up sizeable injuries and will be out for a similar length of time.'

Dili, East Timor (CNN)Stacey Addison, who says she was detained for months in East Timor because she unwittingly shared a taxi with a stranger carrying methamphetamine, is headed home. Addison boarded a plane Tuesday on the first leg of her journey back to Oregon. "I am thrilled to report that Dr. Stacey Addison has gotten her passport back, and is now on a plane returning home here to Oregon," Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Oregon) said. "This is terrific news for Stacey, for her family, and for all the Oregonians who have followed Stacey's story and helped support her from afar," Merkley said in a statement. Addison, 41, was detained in September in the small Southeast Asian nation in a drug case in which she says she's innocent. She was released in December but she still couldn't leave because her passport -- seized during the investigation -- had not been returned. Former East Timorese President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Jose Ramos-Horta, hosted her temporarily at his home. Addison's arrest in September was an unexpected bump in what had been a multi-year trip around the world. She said she had been traveling solo since January 2013, having quit her job as a veterinarian to explore the globe. On September 5, she was sharing a cab from near the Indonesian border to the East Timor capital of Dili. On the way, a fellow passenger asked to stop to pick up a package at a DHL office, her mother, Bernadette Kero of Oregon, has told CNN. After the man picked up the package, police surrounded the car and arrested the occupants, according to Kero. The package was found to contain methamphetamine, Addison has said. She initially was held for four nights, and a judge released her -- but prevented her from leaving the country while the case was still being investigated -- after the man testified that he didn't know her, Kero said. In late October, during a court appearance where she thought she'd retrieve her passport, a judge ordered her arrest again and sent her to Gleno prison outside Dili. Paul Remedios, a lawyer representing Addison, said at the time that the court detained her again because there was a warrant for her arrest, and that the reason for the warrant was unclear. Kero told CNN in November that the case was a "nightmare." Journalist Wayne Lovell in Dili and CNN's Greg Morrison from Atlanta. CNN's Kristina Sgueglia in New York and Jason Hanna in Atlanta also contributed.

How long after the release of the album “Abbey Road” did The Beatles break up?
|
By early 1964, the Beatles were international stars and had achieved unprecedented levels of critical and commercial success. They became a leading force in Britain's cultural resurgence, ushering in the British Invasion of the United States pop market, and soon made their film debut with A Hard Day's Night (1964). A growing desire to refine their studio efforts, coupled with the untenable nature of their concert tours, led to the band's retirement from live performances in 1966. At this time, they produced records of greater sophistication, including the albums Rubber Soul (1965), Revolver (1966) and Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967), and enjoyed further commercial success with The Beatles (also known as "the White Album", 1968) and Abbey Road (1969). The success of these records heralded the album era, as albums became the dominant form of record consumption over singles; they also increased public interest in psychedelic drugs and Eastern spirituality, and furthered advancements in electronic music, album art and music videos. In 1968, they founded Apple Corps, a multi-armed multimedia corporation that continues to oversee projects related to the band's legacy. After the group's break-up in 1970, all principal former members enjoyed success as solo artists and some partial reunions have occurred. Lennon was murdered in 1980 and Harrison died of lung cancer in 2001. McCartney and Starr remain musically active.

Coming in at first place is Sweden. Sweden ranks highly across the studies, coming in 5th place on the EPI, 9th for the GFI, and 4th for the lowest annual average PM2.5 concentration at 6.6 μg/m³.
However, like most European countries Sweden’s main downfall is its CO2 emissions per capita, ranking only 28th place with 4.18 tonnes (4th in Europe).
Some of Sweden’s highlights are that it has a perfect score in the EPI for protecting marine ecosystems and it ranks second in the GFI’s CO2 emissions growth in transport sector indicator.

(CNN)An Army National Guard member and his cousin have been arrested in Illinois for allegedly conspiring to provide material support to the terrorist organization ISIS, federal prosecutors said Thursday. The alleged plot included a plan to attack a U.S. military installation in Illinois. In the past 18 months, the Justice Department's National Security Division has prosecuted or is prosecuting 32 cases of people attempting to travel abroad to join or providing support to terrorist groups. Of those cases, 18 allegedly involve support to ISIS. Spc. Hasan Edmonds, 22, was arrested Wednesday night at Chicago Midway International Airport while attempting to travel to Egypt to eventually join ISIS, according to Assistant Attorney General for National Security John P. Carlin and other federal officials said. His cousin, Jonas "Yunus" Edmonds, 29, was arrested at his home in Aurora in connection with an alleged plot to carry out an armed attack on an unspecified U.S. military facility in northern Illinois where Hasan Edmonds had been training. The two U.S. citizens were charged, in criminal complaints filed in U.S. District Court of the Northern District of Illinois, with one count each of conspiring to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization. The cousins made an initial appearance Thursday afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheila Finnegan. Why is ISIS so successful at luring Westerners? After an undercover FBI informant posing as an ISIS fighter outside the United States sent Hasan Edmonds a Facebook "friend" request in late 2014, he began to receive private messages from him indicating that he and his cousin were willing to travel to overseas and fight for ISIS, according to the court documents. "InshAllah we will complete our task or be grants [sic] shahada [Arabic for martyr] I look forward to the training," Hasan Edmonds is alleged to have told the informant in January. "I am already in the American kafir army and now I wish only to serve in the army of Allah alongside my true brothers." They continued to communicate over the following weeks, with Hasan Edmonds expressing concerns about Jonas Edmonds' criminal record and whether he would be allowed to travel overseas. "They try hard to keep people like him trapped in America," he told the undercover FBI employee. "I know several Muslims have been caught attempting the Turkey route so tell me why not many Americans take the Egypt route. I am open to either way," Hasan Edmonds told the informant, according to court documents. On February 2, Hasan Edmonds contacted the undercover informant again and said his cousin was willing to carry out an attack on U.S. soil. "Honestly we would love to do something like the brother in Paris did," Hasan Edmonds stated, referring to the French terror attacks in January in which 16 people were killed. Prosecutors said Jonas Edmonds contacted the informant to arrange travel accommodations. "Number one on my list is Mosul," he stated, referring to Iraq's second-largest city. "If I find myself stuck here [in the United States], I intend to take advantage of being so close to the kuffar." Jonas Edmonds this week accepted that he would be unable to travel and told the FBI informant of his intention to buy AK-47s and grenades to carry out an attack on the military facility. He would use his cousin's uniform and "anticipated a body count of 100 to 150." He was given a list of officer rankings by his cousin and advised to "kill the head," according to court documents. Prosecutors said Jonas Edmonds planned to carry out the attack after Hasan Edmonds left the country. Hasan Edmonds' sister said that the family does not believe the allegations against the cousins. "It's all a shock, we don't suspect any of these accusations," Manchinique Bates told CNN affiliate WLS. "We do not believe that any of these alleged charges are true. I honestly do not feel as if my brother is in the U.S. military, but yet leaving the country to join ISIS. That's ludicrous. They aren't terrorists." A federal complaint alleges that Hasan Edmonds came to the attention of the FBI in late 2014. The complaints uses the acronym ISIL, or Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Hasan Edmonds planned to use his military training to fight for the terrorist organization, prosecutors said in a statement. Hasan Edmonds booked airline travel to depart Wednesday from Chicago and arrive in Cairo on Thursday. The cousins presented an undercover informant with plans to attacks the military facility, prosecutors said. Who has been recruited to ISIS from the West? "Disturbingly, one of the defendants currently wears the same uniform of those they allegedly planned to attack," Carlin said in the statement. Conspiring to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. The number of foreign fighters traveling to join ISIS's ranks is increasing at an alarming rate, a top U.S. counterterrorism official said last month. More than 20,000 fighters, from more than 90 countries, have traveled to the ISIS battlefield, according to the testimony of Nicholas Rasmussen, director of the National Counterterrorism Center, before the House Homeland Security Committee. The rate of foreign fighters traveling to Syria "exceeds the rate of travelers who went to Afghanistan and Pakistan, Iraq, Yemen or Somalia at any point in the last 20 years," Rasmussen said. Of those fighters, an estimated 3,400 are believed to have come from Western countries, including more than 150 from the United States, officials said. A U.S. Air Force veteran, who allegedly tried to join ISIS but was turned back by Turkish authorities before he could get to Syria, pleaded not guilty earlier this month to terror-related charges in a federal court in New York. Tairod Nathan Webster Pugh, accused of making the foiled attempt in January, was indicted by a grand jury on charges of trying to give material support to the terror group and obstruction of justice, the U.S. Justice Department said in a two-count indictment. CNN's Evan Perez contributed to this report.

Aston Villa's form under Tim Sherwood finally looks to be hotting up with their 2-1 win against West Bromwich Albion - and midfielder Tom Cleverley celebrated by going out for a coffee with his partner Georgina Dorsett. Cleverley started in the 2-1 Tuesday night win at Villa Park, Sherwood's first win as manager and a first Premier League win in almost three months, which certainly merited a low-key celebration. And that's exactly what the on-loan Manchester United midfielder did, popping out to a local Costa Coffee branch in Cheshire with his partner and former The Only Way is Essex star Georgina. Tom Cleverley and his partner Georgina Dorsett walk from a Costa Coffee branch in Hale, Cheshire . The Aston Villa midfielder had a reason to celebrate after playing a part in Tuesday's 2-1 win over West Brom . Cleverley plays the ball past Craig Gardner before later being substituted following an all-action display . Cleverley was substituted after 77 minutes in the Midlands derby on Tuesday night but drew praise from fans for his all-action box-to-box display before being replaced by Leandro Bacuna. The midfielder is showing progress under Sherwood, and could be offered a permanent deal at Villa when his United contract runs out in the summer. Until then though, the focus is on battling against relegation. Tuesday's win lifted Villa out of the drop zone, although they could fall back into trouble with Queens Park Rangers, Burnley and Leicester City all playing on Wednesday evening. Cleverley drew praise from fans after the win over West Brom for his workrate and improved play . Georgina is an former star of The Only Way is Essex and has been with Cleverley since 2012 . 'I'm confident that what I'm telling the players is the correct thing to do,' Sherwood said after the win. 'But there is nothing like a win to cement that. It is huge for us. 'We have got a group that is not really suited for a relegation battle. The old-fashioned way is to battle but we have to play as if we are not in a relegation battle and pass the ball and move. 'If we go down we go down fighting.' Cleverley will hope to keep his place in the side when Villa meet Albion again in the FA Cup quarter-final on Saturday. Tuesday night's win for Cleverley and his Villa team-mates gave him and his partner good reason to chill out . The Aston Villa midfielder holds open a door at the Costa Coffee branch in Hale Cheshire on Wednesday .

Venezuela (/ˌvɛnəˈzweɪlə/; American Spanish: [beneˈswela] (listen)), officially the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (Spanish: República Bolivariana de Venezuela), is a country on the northern coast of South America, consisting of a continental landmass and many islands and islets in the Caribbean Sea. It has a territorial extension of 916,445 km2 (353,841 sq mi), and its population was estimated at 29 million in 2022. The capital and largest urban agglomeration is the city of Caracas.
The continental territory is bordered on the north by the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, on the west by Colombia, Brazil on the south, Trinidad and Tobago to the north-east and on the east by Guyana. The Venezuelan government maintains a claim against Guyana to Guayana Esequiba. Venezuela is a federal presidential republic consisting of 23 states, the Capital District and federal dependencies covering Venezuela's offshore islands. Venezuela is among the most urbanized countries in Latin America; the vast majority of Venezuelans live in the cities of the north and in the capital.
The territory of Venezuela was colonized by Spain in 1522 amid resistance from indigenous peoples. In 1811, it became one of the first Spanish-American territories to declare independence from the Spanish and to form part, as a department, of the first federal Republic of Colombia (historiographically known as Gran Colombia). It separated as a full sovereign country in 1830. During the 19th century, Venezuela suffered political turmoil and autocracy, remaining dominated by regional military dictators until the mid-20th century. Since 1958, the country has had a series of democratic governments, as an exception where most of the region was ruled by military dictatorships, and the period was characterized by economic prosperity. Economic shocks in the 1980s and 1990s led to major political crises and widespread social unrest, including the deadly Caracazo riots of 1989, two attempted coups in 1992, and the impeachment of a President for embezzlement of public funds charges in 1993. The collapse in confidence in the existing parties saw the 1998 Venezuelan presidential election, the catalyst for the Bolivarian Revolution, which began with a 1999 Constituent Assembly, where a new Constitution of Venezuela was imposed. The government's populist social welfare policies were bolstered by soaring oil prices, temporarily increasing social spending, and reducing economic inequality and poverty in the early years of the regime. However, poverty began to increase in the 2010s. The 2013 Venezuelan presidential election was widely disputed leading to widespread protest, which triggered another nationwide crisis that continues to this day. Venezuela has experienced democratic backsliding, shifting into an authoritarian state. It ranks low in international measurements of freedom of the press and civil liberties and has high levels of perceived corruption.
Venezuela is a developing country and ranks 113th on the Human Development Index. It has the world's largest known oil reserves and has been one of the world's leading exporters of oil. Previously, the country was an underdeveloped exporter of agricultural commodities such as coffee and cocoa, but oil quickly came to dominate exports and government revenues. The excesses and poor policies of the incumbent government led to the collapse of Venezuela's entire economy. The country struggles with record hyperinflation, shortages of basic goods, unemployment, poverty, disease, high child mortality, malnutrition, severe crime and corruption. These factors have precipitated the Venezuelan migrant crisis where more than three million people have fled the country. By 2017, Venezuela was declared to be in default regarding debt payments by credit rating agencies. The crisis in Venezuela has contributed to a rapidly deteriorating human rights situation, including increased abuses such as torture, arbitrary imprisonment, extrajudicial killings and attacks on human rights advocates. Venezuela is a charter member of the UN, Organization of American States (OAS), Union of South American Nations (UNASUR), ALBA, Mercosur, Latin American Integration Association (LAIA) and Organization of Ibero-American States (OEI).

Surrey director of cricket Alec Stewart has praised Kevin Pietersen's 'outstanding' character, but admitted the batsman's chances of an England return are slim. Pietersen has rejoined Surrey to play in LV= County Championship Division Two in a bid to win a Test recall for the Ashes this summer. The 34-year-old was sacked by the England and Wales Cricket Board after the 2013-14 Ashes whitewash, but Stewart revealed he has never had any problems with his attitude. Kevin Pietersen has been hailed for his 'outstanding character' by Surrey chief Alec Stewart . Pietersen shared a picture of himself celebrating Australia's World Cup win with James Faulkner . Surrey cricket director Stewart (right) can't see a way back for Pietersen with England . 'He's been as good as gold with us. If he was a bad character we wouldn't have had him,' he said on BBC Radio 5 Live. 'Whenever he's been with us he has been outstanding. He's helped the youngsters, he's been in the nets, he's put on batting clinics and he's tried his heart out. So hopefully, and I have no reason to disbelieve, he will be exactly the same this time, if not even more hard working and desperate to score runs.' Stewart accepted, though, that Pietersen's hopes of playing for England again were likely to be dashed. Pietersen was axed by England following the controversial whitewash by Australia in last year's Ashes . Test captain Alastair Cook (left) admits an England recall is unlikely for the Surrey batsman . ECB managing director Paul Downton has been steadfast in his appraisal that Pietersen will not come back - as have national selector James Whitaker and coach Peter Moores, while Test captain Alastair Cook rated the prospect 'highly unlikely'. 'If England are winning, they have a good West Indies tour which we expect, then it's going to take an injury or a huge loss of form for a vacancy to become available,' Stewart added. 'But all Kevin can do and, that's what he's said to us, he's going to score runs, sit back and see what happens.'

(CNN)The world is watching for what could turn out to be either a historic achievement for international diplomacy -- or, just as easily, a disappointing failure -- as negotiators sit down this week in the tranquil lakeside city of Lausanne, Switzerland, to hammer out a framework nuclear deal with Iran before March 31. Here are some of the key things you need to know as the next major deadline approaches in the Iran nuclear talks: . 1. The road to Lausanne has been a long one. This latest round of talks are part of a process that has been going on for two years, through both public and private diplomatic channels. In 2013, tensions between the world powers and Iran began to thaw a bit after the election of reformist Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, who pledged to end the crippling weight of international sanctions on Iran's economy. In November of that year, officials from the five permanent member nations of the U.N. Security Council -- the United States, United Kingdom, France, Russia and China -- along with Germany, began nuclear negotiations with Iranian officials in Switzerland and signed what came to be known as the Geneva Agreement or Joint Plan of Action, offering limited sanctions relief for Iran in return for that country rolling back aspects of its nuclear program. The deal was heralded as an interim step toward a larger, more comprehensive agreement, which would further lessen the economic pressure on Iran and give the six world powers -- referred to collectively as the P5+1 -- certain assurances that Iran's nuclear program is peaceful in nature, as it claims. Several rounds of talks have taken place since the Joint Plan of Action was reached in an effort to bring about that comprehensive agreement. But this interim agreement has been extended twice over a failure of the parties to meet previous deadlines for a final deal. 2. There's no guarantee they'll reach a deal. While both sides stand to gain from a potential agreement, they also have certain "red lines" they aren't willing to cross -- key issues that could sink the prospects of a deal even if everything else is agreed to. For Iran, a major sticking point is the pace of sanctions relief. They want the international community to lift all U.N. sanctions at the beginning of the agreement, whereas the P5+1 powers would rather see those sanctions phased out as Iran demonstrates its commitment to the deal. Iran also wants a high cap on the number of centrifuges and other nuclear hardware it can continue to operate, and for the restrictions imposed on it in the deal to last only a short period of time. This platform is diametrically opposed to the P5+1 position: that Iran should maintain a relatively small nuclear infrastructure and that the moratorium on Iran's nuclear activities should last at least a decade. And of critical importance, particularly to the United States, is the insistence that Iran be held to a minimum one-year "breakout time" -- a technical terms reflecting the amount of time it would take for Iran to produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon if it decides to walk away from the agreement. So even as negotiators express some optimism about the progression of talks, it's clear that there are major gaps to bridge, which may be why some U.S. officials have put the odds of reaching a deal at 50% or less. 3. Even if there's a deal, it's not the deal. While the focus this week is on the March 31 deadline, it's important to note it isn't the final deadline. The parties are seeking to reach what's being called a framework agreement -- essentially a political understanding of the main principles of the final deal. But if they're able to come together on the big issues, they still have until the end of June when the Joint Plan of Action expires to iron out the details. So that means the talks won't be finished this month. Officials have been vague about the format this framework deal might take as well as how much of it will be made known to the public and international stakeholders. The United States would prefer a written accord, but Iran has balked at putting anything in writing until a comprehensive deal is reached. 4. There are a lot of stakeholders. There are seven countries at the negotiating table, but far more following along from the outside. Israel, for instance, as one of Iran's primary geopolitical foes in the Middle East, is watching the talks keenly. Israeli officials are regularly consulting with their P5+1 allies on a regular basis and are trying to influence the outcome of the deal. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been one of the most vocal critics of the negotiation process, publicly butting heads with the Obama administration in an effort to derail the talks. Saudi Arabia's government is equally concerned about the prospects of a deal, fearing it could give Iran greater leverage in the region. And there are those who fear that a nuclear agreement will spur other countries in the region to develop nuclear programs -- a means of deterring Iran if it decides to restart the military dimensions of its newly legitimized nuclear program. But there are also stakeholders in the international community that would welcome the opportunity to trade freely with Iran once sanctions are eased, giving them access to vast Iranian markets. 5. Domestic politics matter. Aside from Netanyahu, many of Iran's most ardent detractors are in the U.S. Congress and in Iran, and they will continue to make their views known. The chairman of the influential Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Sen. Bob Corker, R-Tennessee, is introducing legislation that would compel the administration to put any deal it reaches to a vote in Congress, something that the administration adamantly opposes. Administration officials say Congress has already been consulted throughout the negotiating process, and that, at the end of any final agreement (potentially a decade from now), will play a role in repealing U.S. unilateral sanctions. But Congress is not satisfied to take a back seat in these talks -- a fact that was demonstrated this month when 47 Republican senators signed a letter to the Supreme Leader of Iran, suggesting a future president can easily retract any agreement the Obama administration signs. In Iran, Supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei has the final say on any nuclear agreement Iran would reach with world powers. And he is mindful of hard-line clerics in Iran who are opposed to a deal with the West that imposes restrictions on what they see as Iran's right to a nuclear program. Khamenei has sent mixed messages about the negotiations. He has voiced support for the efforts of Rouhani and Foreign Minister Javad Zarif, the lead negotiator. But he has continually voiced distrust for the United States and has dismissed the idea that a nuclear deal would lead to cooperation in other areas. The internal struggle between power centers in both the United States and Iran is a key variable that could derail the already complicated negotiation process.

Chester City striker Oliver McBurnie has vowed to prove Scotland's Under 19s don't need Real Madrid superkid Jack Harper by firing Ricky Sbragia's youngsters to a winning start in their UEFA Elite Round against hosts Austria on Thursday. Sbragia's decision to omit the promising Bernabeu talent for the tournament has caused uproar, mixed with bemusement, after the former Sunderland boss' comments about Harper not being physically strong enough. Harper's replacement does not have Zinedine Zidane as a coach or the luxury of a five-year deal with Real. In fact, McBurnie is currently on loan from Bradford City at Football Conference mid-table outfit Chester City. On loan Chesterfield striker is ready to step up for Scotland Under 19s against Austria on Thursday . McBurnie in action for Scotland Under 19s against Holland Under 19s during an International Challenge match . However, the 18-year-old is in agreement with Sbragia that Scotland need to be physical in their three games which starts on Thursday in Vienna against hosts Austria, before facing Italy on Saturday and Croatia next week. And he's had plenty of practice playing for Chester against the likes of Alfreton Town, Dartford and Lincoln City's grizzled defenders. McBurnie said: 'Obviously, Jack hasn't made the squad, but it's good to know it' s not just about reputations. If they do come and watch you and you do well then you get the rewards for that. 'The boys are confident and we know we have quality in this team and an ability to hurt the opposition. If we stick to the game-plan and play how we know we can play we've got a chance. It's tough against the hosts, Italy and Croatia for that matter but we want to test ourselves against the best. 'They're all good sides and hopefully we can go out there and prove a point. They're going to be big and powerful sides but we see ourselves in that bracket as well. Hopefully we can cope with that and let our football do the talking. Real Madrid youngster Jack Harper has been left out of the latest Scotland Under 19 squad . McBurnie says that he has had to toughen up playing against conference opposition . 'You have to grow up fast and it's very different to Bradford, although Chester like to try and play a bit to be fair. In the Conference it's tough to play football on some of the pitches against some of the teams. It's a great learning experience and just adds to my game. The defenders have definitely tried to rough me up. 'The worst was at Lincoln away. Both of their centre-backs were about 6ft 6in and I was playing up front on my own. That was tough. But we got through and won, so I enjoy testing myself against bigger and stronger players. It's a different experience.' But the Harper issue does bring back memories of a depressingly frank admission from Billy Stark, then Scotland Under-21 boss, in June 2009. A month earlier, Xavi and Iniesta had passed Manchester United to death during the 2009 Champions League Final at Rome's Stadio Olimpico. Recalling a community coaching forum at Hampden 24 hours before, Stark said: 'I was asked whether Iniesta and Xavi would have flourished and come through the Scottish system. 'It's hard to say because you're looking at two different cultures but the answer is - probably not. The Spanish place an emphasis on sheer technique and movement. Our game is based more on power and pace. So there's an argument that they wouldn't have come through in this country to become the players they are now. Scotland Under 19s manager Ricky Sbragia claimed Harper is not big enough physically . Harper is currently midway through a five-year deal with Real Madrid and is tipped to have a big future . 'But the Spanish approach is working for them and it deserves to be copied,' he added. Former Scotland manager Craig Brown has urged caution in the rush to condemn the under-fire Sbragia. 'I've the greatest of admiration for Ricky as a man and a coach,' said the 74-year-old. 'My friend Archie Knox speaks highly of him and he's also worked under Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United. So I'd like to hear more on the context of the words spoken by him (about Jack Harper). 'But I would say this: people are saying this young lad is a Real Madrid player. He's not; he's never played for Real Madrid. I was a Rangers signing but I never played for Rangers. 'Real Madrid will have hundreds of kids in their system. I'm not for a minute saying Jack Harper is not a good player. I haven't seen him so I don't know. Former Scotland boss Craig Brown (second right) revealed his admiration for Under 19 coach Sbragia . 'But I think people get hypnotised by the name Real Madrid. There's a frenzy going on but if (the same player) played for another club would there be the same impact?' Brown admitted it is an occupational hazard of a national youth selector to end up looking foolish. 'You can't get every player right,' he said. 'Here's my example: When I was Scotland Under 21 manager, I got a phone call from the late Alex Wright, manager of Dumbarton, saying he had a good player for me. It was Owen Coyle, and he was good, but I didn't think he was as good as Kevin Gallacher and Gordon Durie. 'I told Alex the only reason I would be picking Owen would be solely to prevent Ireland getting him – and that would be unfair. He would have been a bench player for Scotland. 'So the Irish picked him instead and our next game was against Ireland at Easter Road. My over-age centre half that day was Alex McLeish and Owen knocked the ball past Alex and stuck it in the roof of his net. 'I remember thinking 'I've messed up here'. But we ended up winning 4-1 and I think Durie scored three. But you can get egg on your face…'

Berti Vogts has teamed up with his former player Jurgen Klinsmann after taking up a role to work behind the scenes with the United States national team. Vogts, who managed Klinsmann during his spell as Germany coach during the 1990s, was hired as technical adviser to the US on Thursday after serving as a special adviser before and during last year's World Cup. In an interview last May, Vogts said he has known Klinsmann since he was 16 or 17 and even takes credit for turning him into the striking sensation he would become. Berti Vogts has joined USA as a technical adviser teaming up again with Jurgen Kilnsmann . Vogts managed Klinsmann when he was in charge of Germany during the 1990s . 'He was a winger and then I told him, "Oh, that's not your best position, you have to play in the middle",' Vogts recalled. 'He did that and he started a big, big career. He is always enthusiastic. He's more American than a German. The Germans are thinking about things. Jurgen is always positive. That's an American way of life. That's good. That's good for the team, good for the sport, good for all of them.' Vogts will oversee the development of players in Europe, and collaborate with Herzog and Matthias Hamann on scouting, talent identification and club relationships. 'We had a fantastic experience with Berti during the 2014 FIFA World Cup,' Klinsmann said in a statement. 'His knowledge and experience is a tremendous asset for us. With Andi Herzog having a big focus on qualifying the U-23 team for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Berti will make an even more important contribution.' USA were beaten 3-2 by Denmark in a friendly on Wednesday night . Former Tottenham striker Klinsmann watches his side during the friendly defeat by Denmark . The 68-year-old Vogts was a defender on West Germany's championship team at the 1974 World Cup and made 96 international appearances in all. He coached his national team from 1990-98, winning the 1996 European Championship with Klinsmann as captain. Vogts also coached Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga and the national teams of Kuwait (2001-02), Scotland (2002-04), Nigeria (2007-08) and Azerbaijan (2008-14). 'For me he's been a big mentor throughout my life,' Klinsmann said last year, 'and he just has an outstanding soccer brain, an outstanding knowledge the way he reads the game, the way he analyzes things with his tremendous experience he has, is unquestionable, a huge benefit for us.'

What are the origins or surfing in California?
|
In 1907, the eclectic interests of the land baron Henry E. Huntington brought surfing to the California coast. While on vacation, Huntington had seen Hawaiian boys surfing the island waves. Looking for a way to entice visitors to the area of Redondo Beach, where he had heavily invested in real estate, he hired a young Hawaiian to ride surfboards. George Freeth decided to revive the art of surfing, but had little success with the huge 500 cm (16 ft) hardwood boards that were popular at that time. When he cut them in half to make them more manageable, he created the original "Long board", which made him the talk of the islands. To the delight of visitors, Freeth exhibited his surfing skills twice a day in front of the Hotel Redondo. Another native Hawaiian, Duke Kahanamoku, spread surfing to both the U.S. and Australia, riding the waves after displaying the swimming prowess that won him Olympic gold medals in 1912 and 1920.
|
Surfing as a local pastime is a natural fit for most Californian's living near the coast. The rise in popularity of beach life in Southern California and especially the film "Gidget" exploded the desire to be a part of the rising surf culture. California was looked upon by most of the nation as trend setting and surfing served as the epitome of cool for most people looking from afar.

Should Rangers win promotion to the Premiership this season they will have to pay Newcastle United £500,000 as part of the loan deal struck with the St James' Park club for five players. The details emerged this morning as Rangers released financial results which showed the club had made losses after tax of £2.89m for the six-month period to 31 December 2014. Interim chairman Paul Murray described the accounts as 'disappointing'. Haris Vuckic celebrates after scoring in Rangers' 4-1 victory against Cowdenbeath on Saturday . This arrangement with Newcastle was part of a deal struck by the previous board for five fringe players - Gael Bigirimana, Haris Vuckic, Kevin Mbabu, Remie Streete and Shane Ferguson. Only Vuckic has made any sort of impact for the Ibrox club so far. Indeed three of the five players who signed the loan agreements have yet to kick a ball for Rangers, who are currently second in the Championship and can only now be promoted through the play-offs. The prize money for finishing as runners-up in the second tier is £342,000. Despite promotion to the Championship, revenue fell £100,000 to £13.1m, though the club earned £1.3m from hosting the Commonwealth Games rugby sevens. Sponsorship revenue also dropped, falling by £0.3m to £0.4m. Loan signings Vuckic (centre), Gael Bigirimana (left) and Remie Streete are unveiled at Murray Park last month . Murray, who along with Dave King and John Gilligan, ousted the previous board, said: 'The new directors have been in place only a matter of weeks but have already started to repair the damage caused through recent years of neglect and disrespect for this club, its people and its history. 'The mismanagement of the club in recent years has been simply staggering. 'As the Interim Accounts prove, the new board has inherited major problems but while campaigning for change we all knew the club would be in need of major restructuring and repair on all fronts. Paul Murray (left) and Dave King are pictured back at Ibrox after the EGM earlier this month . 'We can and we will return this club to a strong and profitable footing through strategic planning, investment and re-engagement with all of our stakeholders. 'Too many of them have been lost or disenfranchised because of successive failings by a series of directors over the last four years in particular. But they are gone now and this is a new era for this great and special club which must be regenerated, not only for its own good but for the greater good of Scottish football.'
