What is Protestantism and when did it start? | Protestantism is a branch of Christianity that follows the theological tenets of the Protestant Reformation, a movement that began seeking to reform the Catholic Church from within in the 16th century against errors, abuses, and discrepancies.
Protestantism emphasizes the Christian believer's justification by God in faith alone (sola fide) rather than by a combination of faith with good works as in Catholicism; the teaching that salvation comes by divine grace or "unmerited favor" only (sola gratia); the priesthood of all believers in the Church; and the sola scriptura ("scripture alone") that posits the Bible as the sole infallible source of authority for Christian faith and practice. Protestants reject the Catholic doctrine of papal supremacy, and have variant views on the number of sacraments, the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, and matters of ecclesiastical polity and apostolic succession. Other Protestant denominations and non-denominational Protestants may be typically unconcerned about most of these theological issues and focus only on their perception of explicit Christian teachings in the Bible itself. The five solae of Lutheran and Reformed Christianity summarize basic theological differences in opposition to the Catholic Church. Today, it is the second-largest form of Christianity, with a total of 800 million to 1 billion adherents worldwide or about 37% of all Christians. | Ali Malekshahi |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The only thing crazier than a guy in snowbound Massachusetts boxing up the powdery white stuff and offering it for sale online? People are actually buying it. For $89, self-styled entrepreneur Kyle Waring will ship you 6 pounds of Boston-area snow in an insulated Styrofoam box -- enough for 10 to 15 snowballs, he says. But not if you live in New England or surrounding states. "We will not ship snow to any states in the northeast!" says Waring's website, ShipSnowYo.com. "We're in the business of expunging snow!" His website and social media accounts claim to have filled more than 133 orders for snow -- more than 30 on Tuesday alone, his busiest day yet. With more than 45 total inches, Boston has set a record this winter for the snowiest month in its history. Most residents see the huge piles of snow choking their yards and sidewalks as a nuisance, but Waring saw an opportunity. According to Boston.com, it all started a few weeks ago, when Waring and his wife were shoveling deep snow from their yard in Manchester-by-the-Sea, a coastal suburb north of Boston. He joked about shipping the stuff to friends and family in warmer states, and an idea was born. His business slogan: "Our nightmare is your dream!" At first, ShipSnowYo sold snow packed into empty 16.9-ounce water bottles for $19.99, but the snow usually melted before it reached its destination. So this week, Waring began shipping larger amounts in the Styrofoam cubes, which he promises will arrive anywhere in the U.S. in less than 20 hours. He also has begun selling a 10-pound box of snow for $119. Many of his customers appear to be companies in warm-weather states who are buying the snow as a gag, he said. Whether Waring can sustain his gimmicky venture into the spring remains to be seen. But he has no shortage of product. "At this rate, it's going to be July until the snow melts," he told Boston.com. "But I've thought about taking this idea and running with it for other seasonal items. Maybe I'll ship some fall foliage." | A man in suburban Boston is selling snow online to customers in warmer states . For $89, he will ship 6 pounds of snow in an insulated Styrofoam box . |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Los Angeles (CNN)Gov. Jerry Brown unveiled an emergency $1 billion spending plan Thursday to tackle the state's historic drought. A staggering 11 trillion gallons are needed for California to recover from the emergency. Senate President pro Tempore Kevin de León said the legislation will include two bills that will speed up contracting funds to "manage the drought and strengthen our infrastructure." According to the California State Water Resources Control Board, the package will specifically accelerate $128 million from the governor's budget to provide direct assistance to workers and affected communities. Proposition 1 funding, which enacted the Water Quality, Supply, and Infrastructure Improvement Act of 2014, will funnel $272 million into safe drinking water efforts and maintenance of water recycling infrastructure. Some $660 million from Prop 1 will also be accelerated for flood protection in urban and rural areas. As part of the changes, Brown said additional measures will crack down on water inefficiency as California enters the fourth year of a worsening-water crisis. "This unprecedented drought continues with no signs yet of letting up," said Brown. "But we have a lot of good policies coming." To exacerbate matters, weather conditions are continuing to diminish natural resources. The Sierra Nevada snowpack, which Californians rely on heavily during the summer for their water needs, is at a near record low. The March snowpack measurement came in at 0.9 inches of water content in the snow, just 5% of the March 3 historical average for the measurement site. The overall water content for the Northern Sierra snowpack came in at 4.4 inches, just 16% of average for the date. Central and southern Sierra readings were 5.5 inches (20% of average) and 5 inches (22% of average) respectively. Only in 1991 has the water content of the snow been lower. "The drought isn't letting up, so we can't let up either," Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins said. "This legislation will deliver relief to Californians harmed by the drought and help us manage the significant problems the drought continues to cause. Since our skies are still clear, our job is too. And making sure we meet emergency needs, prepare for short term problems and advance longer-term projects are an important part of that effort." Brown anticipates his emergency package to move into action immediately. He has recently created a Drought Task Force to expedite the legislation. | Gov. Jerry Brown: "This unprecedented drought continues with no signs yet of letting up" Snowpack in the Sierra Nevada mountains is alarmingly low as summer looms . |

Generate a summary of the text | Mikey Knight ordered 16 tickets for him and friends to watch Norwich City, but his mother accidentally roasted the tickets - worth around £500 in total . When Mikey Knight ordered 16 tickets to an upcoming football match for him and his friends, he thought the safest place to get them delivered was his parents' house. But when the 28-year-old went to the house in Taverham, Norfolk, his mother Cherry had to make a confession - she had roasted them. Mrs Knights had accidentally cooked the tickets, worth £500, for 40 minutes after they got stuck to the underside of a roast in the bag chicken. The football fan initially didn't believe his mother until she handed him an envelope containing the charred remains of 16 tickets to Good Friday's Championship match between Norwich City and Brighton and Hove Albion, which were unreadable. He said: 'I turned up for tea and my mum asked me if I was in a good mood. I said "yes." 'It was then she told me she'd roasted the tickets. 'She'd put them on the side in the kitchen ready to give to me, but when she put the bird down as she got it out the fridge the sticky bit of the envelope had opened and got stuck to it. 'She said after about 40 minutes of it cooking she couldn't find the tickets and realised what she'd done. 'I thought it was a wind-up at first, but then I opened the envelope and the 16 tickets were inside, all black. 'She told me she would sort it though. I could see the funny side but I was really worried we wouldn't be able to make it to the match.' Mrs Knights, 62, of Norwich, went to Norwich City's grounds and explained the situation to a member of staff who then emailed Brighton and Hove Albion. The club agreed to reprint tickets for Mr Knights and his friends as a 'goodwill gesture'. Mr Knights added: 'I've already got my train tickets, but it's a good job those didn't go to my mum's address. She might have put them in for afters. Mr Knights initially thought his mother was joking until she handed him the charred remains of the tickets . 'I'm going to have to collect the match tickets when I get down there. 'I'll probably have to skip the pub with my friends to go and get them, but I'm just glad we get to go and I'm really grateful. 'There wouldn't usually be this many tickets to cook, but as the match is on Good Friday more people wanted to come along. It would be awful to have let them all down.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)It has been one of the world's longest and deadliest civil conflicts. Since the first incidents more than three decades ago, an estimated 40,000 lives have been lost. It has been, some say, a battle by activists among Turkey's Kurdish minority for independence. It has been, others say, a guerrilla war by rebels who have punctuated their campaign with terrorist acts. Whatever it has been to the parties involved, the leader of the militant group at the forefront of the Kurdish insurgency in Turkey says it is time now for it to be over. "Our struggle came to the point it cannot continue as it is," Abdullah Ocalan, longtime leader of the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK), said earlier in March from his jail cell. In a letter read to thousands gathered in the southeastern Turkey city of Diyarbakir to mark Persian New Year, Ocalan called for "a new era" with Kurds gathering as "a democratic society with the right to a democratic identity -- within Turkey and on the constitutional citizenship basis." He urged fighters under his command to lay down their arms, stop their war against the Turkish state and join a "congress" to focus on the future. Ocalan's letter is nothing less than historic. As recently as 2012, the long-simmering war between the PKK and the Turkish government had heated to the point that the International Crisis Group, a conflict resolution organization monitoring the conflict, counted more than 700 dead over 14 months. "We're seeing the longest pitched battles between the (Turkish) army and the PKK, we're seeing a widespread campaign of kidnapping, suicide bombings and terrorist attacks by the PKK. They're very much on the offensive and unfortunately this is matched by much harder line rhetoric on both sides," Hugh Pope, chief author of an International Crisis Group report, told CNN in 2012. Perhaps vocally underscoring the cultural split between the Turkish government and the country's Kurdish population, when Ocalan's letter was read to crowds March 21, it was read in two languages -- Kurdish first, then Turkish. The letter was read by Sirri Sureyya Onder, deputy of Turkey's pro-Kurdish People's Democratic Party. Onder is one of the few people regularly allowed to meet Ocalan at the prison where he is held on Imrali Island. "Saturday officially showed us all that we have moved on to the negotiation period from the dialogue period we've been working on," Onder told CNN in a phone interview. About a fifth of Turkey's population is Kurdish -- a minority long living under cultural oppression, most of them in the underdeveloped southeastern part of Turkey. By 1998 -- 14 years after the insurgency began -- Turkey counted up to 18,000 PKK guerrillas living in the mountains. The next year, Ocalan -- a hero to some, a villain to others -- was captured in Kenya by Turkish authorities, reportedly with the help of the CIA. The United States, the European Union and Turkey classify the PKK as a terrorist group. Ocalan was sentenced by the Turkish government to life in prison for treason, and for years, he was the sole prisoner of Imrali. It's an Alcatraz-like island fortress best known in the West as the locale for the 1970s book and movie "Midnight Express." Now, he gets to choose fellow inmates. Ocalan began the PKK in 1978 as a Kurdish separatist group in Turkey, part of a larger separatist movement by Kurds scattered throughout the region. Northern Syria, southern Turkey and northern Iraq have been home to millions of Kurds for thousands of years. There are also millions of Kurds in Iran, where they make up about 10% of the mostly Persian nation's population. Violence flared in August 1984 when fighters from the PKK, which has a Marxist-Leninist philosophy, killed two Turkish soldiers. As the years passed and the death toll mounted, the PKK proved to be a militant leg of a regional ethnic struggle to carry on the Kurdish culture. But there have been periods of calm and times of talk. In 2009, Turkish intelligence officials allegedly met with high-ranking PKK members in Oslo, Norway, to begin a series of secret talks. In mid-2011, the talks were interrupted by new clashes. The armed fights were followed by a hunger strike by Kurdish political prisoners in 2012, who ended the strike after 67 days upon Ocalan's request. Things picked back up when President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced talks with the imprisoned Ocalan in December 2012. Since then, the Turkish government has lifted language bans, released political prisoners and continued talks with Ocalan despite opposition criticism. In return, the jailed leader notably pronounced disarmament intentions and called for a ceasefire in his Persian New Year's letter in 2013. On May 8 of that year, the PKK announced a slow withdrawal from Turkey. But tensions between the sides sparked again when the predominantly Kurdish-populated city of Kobani was invaded by ISIS in October and Turkey didn't directly intervene. Talks between the PKK and the Turkish government continued, though. But at Istanbul's Dolmabahce Palace last month, senior government officials met with pro-Kurdish parliamentarians and declared a "road map" accord on the way to a stable solution. Onder said that Ocalan's letter "shows us that the ... road map decided at Dolmabahce is now a concrete step -- one that suits the spirit and the context of the resolution period." But the government view over the accord seems to be divided. Erdogan told reporters that he does not fancy the declaration. Erdogan was not present at Dolmabahce either. Onder said, "Despite the President's opposing remarks, the Turkish government took responsibility about its Kurdish problem for the first time." | Kurds make up about a fifth of Turkey's population .

The Woking-based marque have struggled to put in the pre-season testing miles due to a number of issues with their new car - with Honda returning to the sport and providing their first attempt at a current F1 power unit. With other teams pounding around Jerez and Barcelona collecting valuable data and information ahead of the season opener in Melbourne on March 15, McLaren have often found their car back in the garage with one fault or another. The McLaren car could struggle at the start of the season, reckons Johnny Herbert . Herbert fears for McLaren . Add to that the fact two-time world champion Fernando Alonso will not be racing in Australia after crashing out at high-speed in Barcelona and it has not been the best reunion for McLaren and Honda - with Herbert tipping them to really struggle in the opening rounds. 'There is definitely a chance of that,' Herbert said when asked if the eight-time constructors' champions could find themselves behind a host of other teams this year. 'So many cars have improved. The middle of the pack seems very close. Lotus seem better, Sauber look better. Ferrari look faster than they were last year as well - Red Bull and Toro Rosso, also. 'The middle pack is tight but we haven't seen the McLaren setting their best times so we don't know where they will be. 'The run of over 100 laps (from Button in Barcelona) put them in the middle of that pack - is that a true showing of their pace? We really don't know. 'We don't know the whole grid order because I don't think everyone has shown their full hand and, unfortunately for McLaren and everyone else, I don't think Mercedes have either.' With the news that Alonso, re-signed to the team after the Spaniard left Ferrari, will be sitting out of the curtain-raiser after his mysterious crash has only added to McLaren's issues - with Herbert questioning why the rekindled relationship with Honda has got off to such an underwhelming start. 'McLaren have been a disappointment so far,' the former Benetton and Stewart driver told the Press Association. Fernando Alonso will miss the curtain-raiser in Australia after his horrific crash in Barcelona . 'You were thinking "Honda have come back and are back with McLaren again. They had all the success in the late 80s and they had last year to look and see what was going on - they saw other manufacturers having to overcome issues whilst they were working on their engine. 'All of these issues they have had have made it really difficult for them to get any serious running whatsoever. They have had a mass of problems that haven't helped them.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Once again, the lure of ISIS may have ensnared another group of foreigners -- this time, medical students suspected of traveling to Syria to work in ISIS-controlled hospitals. The group of 11 people includes seven Britons, an American, a Canadian and two Sudanese, Turkish lawmaker Mehmet Ali Ediboglu told CNN on Sunday. Ediboglu, an opposition lawmaker, told The Observer that he had spoken with the students' families, who were convinced their loved ones wanted to work for ISIS, and were asking him for help tracking them down in neighboring Syria. "They have been cheated, brainwashed. That is what I, and their relatives, think," Ediboglu said, according to the newspaper. But he also stressed that the group did not travel with the intention of joining the battle. "Let's not forget about the fact that they are doctors," he told The Observer. "They went there to help, not to fight." In a joint statement, the students' and doctors' families said their children are humanitarians who went "to Turkey willingly to offer voluntary medical help to those refugees who are in need of medical care on Turkey's borders." They have since "disappeared," the statement said. "We have heard from the British, Turkish and Sudanese authorities that we have so far met, but we hope that the respectable governments of these countries would enforce, speed up and coordinate more effective measures to ensure the safety of our children wherever they are and bring them back to us as soon as possible," the statement said. Eight of the group are medical students who've just graduated, and the three others are in their final year of medical school, he said. They'd been studying in Khartoum, Sudan. At least seven of their mothers and fathers are living near the Turkey-Syria border, pleading for their return, according to The Observer. In an interview published Monday in Turkey's Hürriyet Daily News, the group of parents said they were worried and vowed not to leave Turkey without their children. Dr. Maumoon Abdulqadir said he was sending a message to his daughter, Lena, who is one of the students. "I know you want to help people and be of use. But you can do this in another way," he told the newspaper. "There are many who need your help. But this is not the way. Please, come back." British officials said they are aware of the report. "We are providing consular assistance to their families and we have informed the Turkish police to try and ascertain their whereabouts," the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office said in a statement. Officials have warned that a growing number of foreign fighters are traveling to join ISIS' ranks. Estimates about how many medical personnel the group has recruited are harder to come by. Last year, a 19-year-old Colorado woman was arrested at Denver International Airport as she was about to start a journey to an ISIS camp, where she hoped to be a nurse.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)He doesn't wear a uniform or hold an official rank, but Hadi Al-Amari is a powerful military leader in Iraq. He leads the Hashd Al-Shaabi, a predominantly Shia paramilitary force doing much of the fighting in the critical battle to take Tikrit from ISIS extremists. Ousting ISIS from Tikrit is important for dozens of countries in the United States-led coalition trying to thwart the Islamist extremist group's quest to grow its caliphate. Iran isn't a part of this coalition, but it is also working to defeat ISIS -- something that's provoked both relief and alarm in Washington. Al-Amari is confident his men, with help from the Iraqi army and some Sunnis, can crush ISIS in Iraq without this coalition's help. He's sure because the Iranians are advising them. "We don't need it, and we won't need it," he said. "Anyone who puts their faith in the international coalition to liberate Iraq is putting their faith on a mirage." Iran knows what it's doing, in his view. "Yes, we declare to the world, we have Iranian advisers, and we're proud of them, and we thank them deeply for participating with us because Iran has more experience than anyone else on Earth in fighting terrorism." Does it matter that Iran is advising militias fighting ISIS? Does it matter which countries are taking part in the fight against ISIS -- including that one of them, Iran, is a longstanding U.S. foe? When asked questions along those lines Wednesday in Washington, it seemed that even top U.S. military officials didn't have easy answers. The view is that defeating ISIS is good, while relying on and possibly strengthening Iran is not. In other words, Iran's involvement in Iraq is a mixed blessing. To make sense of this all, one needs to understand not only the international landscape and Iraqi politics, but Islam itself. The religion's two major sects are Sunni and Shia. In Iraq, Sunni Arabs comprise 15% to 20% of Iraq's population, with about half of them in urban areas like Baghdad, Mosul and Tikrit, according to the Council on Foreign Relations. About 18% of Iraq's population is Sunni Kurds. That means the vast majority of Iraqis are Shiite Muslims. And it matters. During his decades-long rule, Saddam Hussein -- a Sunni whose hometown is Tikrit -- gave positions of power to Sunnis, and marginalized Shiites, experts say. Many Shiite families fled to Iran and the country gave them housing and jobs and schooled their children. That imbued Iraqi Shiites who have returned home with a fierce allegiance to Iran. Shias have led Iraq since Hussein's ouster, often alienating Sunnis in the process. This has fueled major sectarian rifts that peaked when Nuri al-Maliki was prime minister, leading to not only millions of disaffected citizens but a weaker central government and military that ISIS frequently overran in 2013 and 2014. Haider al-Abadi took over as Prime Minister last year in part to address these deep divisions. Still, some Sunnis haven't seen the change they want: For instance, Sheikh Naim al-Gaoud in February called for direct U.S. arming of Sunni tribes like his or at least pressure to make Iraq's government help them more in the fight for Anbar province. And Shiite militias sometimes have done more to hurt than help the cause of unity. The advocacy group Human Rights Watch has documented what it calls escalating "abuses by militias allied with Iraqi security forces in Sunni areas," pointing to instances in which residents have been forced from their homes, kidnapped and executed. Such treatment has happened in remote areas as well as the Iraqi capital, according to the group. "Sunnis are a minority in Baghdad, but they're the majority in our morgue," an Iraqi Health Ministry doctor told Human Rights Watch last July. Just a few days ago, Iraq's most powerful Shiite cleric Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani said people "must always act with self-control," according to the New York Times. Still, there's hardly a guarantee such calls for restraint will be answered, especially amid the chaos of war. The fear is that mostly Shia militias, like the one led by al-Amari, will inflame the tinderbox of sectarian strife -- with Human Rights Watch warning of revenge attacks on Sunnis in Tikrit. Add to this equation the fact that ISIS is made up Sunni Muslims who consider Shias heretics and apostates, slaughtering them in large numbers. Civilians and troops alike have faced their wrath: The most glaring incident may have been last June, when the militant group overran an Iraqi military base once known as Camp Speicher -- which, notably, is near Tikrit -- and claimed to kill some 1,600 air force cadets, the vast majority of them Shias. Given these harsh realities, it's not necessarily cut and dried what a Sunni citizen in Tikrit will think if either Shia militias or the Shia-led Iraqi military battle the Sunni group ISIS. "Do I choose the Iraqi military (which is working with the U.S.-led coalition) or ISIS? Do I choose leukemia or the plague? ... Which groups do they dislike more?" said Stephen Biddle, a strategy expert and the award-winning author of "Military Power: Explaining Victory and Defeat in Modern Battle." "It's not like the Sunnis love ISIS; most don't. But some think the Shiite government is a bigger threat than ISIS." So what should the United States do? Jessica Stern, a lecturer on terrorism at Harvard University who this month published, "ISIS: The State of Terror," says it's imperative to address the sectarian divisions in Iraq and continue pushing for changes in its government. She notes that "the anti-Sunni, Shia-promoting government of Maliki" was a big reason ISIS was able "to take root" in Iraq. "Many Sunnis feel under siege. ISIS is saying, 'We're going to protect you. ISIS is presenting itself as a savior of Sunnis," she said. But, as Biddle points out, reform in a bureaucracy comes slow. There's been talk for years about healing Iraq's sectarian divide. What's to say talk will translate into action anytime soon? Biddle thinks the U.S. should consider sweetening the carrots offered to the Iraqis as incentives -- and start carrying bigger sticks -- to spur it to get its act together. The biggest stick would be pulling out of the fight against ISIS. "Right now we seem to be limping along with whatever they do," he said. "We're not offering them many goodies to do what we want and not making them feel like they're going to suffer much either if they don't do what we want." Enter Iran. It's part of this quandary because it shares a border with Iraq, has its own interest in fending off ISIS, and is predominantly Shia. It's also a staunch foe of the United States, which its leaders have cast as the "Great Satan." That lack of love is mutual, with Washington leading a years-long standoff with Tehran over its nuclear program. (There are ongoing talks aimed at resolving that impasse, but critically no deal yet.) Yet ISIS is likewise America's enemy, with President Barack Obama saying that the goal is to "degrade and ultimately destroy" that group. It's not in Iran's interest to have Iraq devolve into a sectarian war, says retired U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Rick Francona, a CNN military analyst. "The Iranians are smart enough to know that's a possibility, so they would be telling the Shia-led militias not to make this a Sunni v. Shia fight," Francona said. But what should the United States think about Iran's efforts to defeat ISIS by backing Shia-led militias? Speaking at a congressional hearing Wednesday about the White House's request for use of force to fight ISIS, the chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff opined that Iran's involvement in helping Iraqi forces is a good thing. "Anything anyone does to counter ISIS is in the main a good outcome," Gen. Martin Dempsey said. Defense Secretary Ashton Carter suggested that the matter was more nuanced. The U.S. is worried about Iran's role, he said. "It is something that is concerning to us," he said of Iran's role, "in particular because the sectarian danger in Iraq is the principal thing that can unravel the campaign against ISIS."

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Juventus forward Alvaro Morata is likely to feature up front for Spain in Friday's Euro 2016 qualifier against Ukraine in Seville, coach Vicente del Bosque said on Thursday. Morata is the obvious choice in the striker's role for the European champions following the withdrawal due to injury of Diego Costa as second-placed Spain look to maintain pressure on Group C leaders Slovakia. 'We have been training with all the players we have, we have deployed them in the positions they are going to play and we have a lot of expectations of Morata,' Del Bosque told a news conference ahead of the game at Sevilla's Sanchez Pizjuan stadium. Alvaro Morata is set to start for Spain in their Euro 2016 qualifier against Ukraine on Friday . Morata has two international caps to his name but looks likely to add to his tally on Friday . Morata is put under pressure by Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos during a training session on Thursday . Spain manager Vicente del Bosque confirmed that Morata was likely to start up front against Ukraine . 'It has been positive that he has enriched himself by moving abroad and it is good that he has had playing time (at Juve),' Del Bosque added. Morata joined the Italian champions from Real Madrid in the close season after breaking into Real's first team from the youth ranks but finding his playing time limited. The 22-year-old, who has scored seven goals in 22 Serie A appearances this term for the Italian champions, is competing for a place up front with the likes of Barcelona's Pedro and Malaga's Juanmi. Cesc Fabregas, who plays in midfield for Chelsea but has often been drafted in as an extra striker for his country, is another option. Morata was given strong backing by Spain team mates Sergio Ramos and Andres Iniesta. The Spain squad were put through their paces ahead of the match against Ukraine .

'He deserves to be here,' Real centre back Ramos said. 'He is a forward who stirs things up, who looks for the spaces, who moves well up front and he gives the national team a very good alternative.' Barcelona playmaker Iniesta added: 'We all know Alvaro's quality. He is really playing well and that's why he is here with us. 'He is a born goalscorer, he is always pushing the limit of offside and his precision and movement make your job easier.' With four matches played, Spain are second in Group C on nine points, three behind Slovakia, who beat them 2-1 in Zilina in October, and level with Ukraine. Spain host Slovakia in September in a match that may decide who secures a place at the tournament in France as group winners.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | England may have thrashed Lithuania to take another step along the road to France 2016 but success has certainly not been confined to the senior team this week. When the Three Lions teams are put together from under 17 level upwards, they have won 11 matches out of 11 during this international spell, scoring 27 goals in the process. The under 21s won 1-0 away to the Czech Republic in a friendly on Friday, while the under 20s have beaten Mexico on penalties after a 1-1 draw and seen off the United States 2-1. England's team from under 17 to senior standard have won all 11 matches played this week . England's under 19s have won the first two of their European Championship qualifiers - 3-2 against Denmark and 1-0 against Azerbaijan, meaning they must defeat France on Tuesday to get through. The under 18s got on a roll against Switzerland, winning 1-0 and 6-1 in a double-header of friendlies, and the under 17s won all three of their European Championship qualifiers - against Norway, Slovenia and Romania. So, on the evidence of the past few days, a bright future awaits for the England team. Here, Sportsmail looks at some of the players to have performed well at each age group. UNDER 17 . Ike Ugbo . Age: 16 Club: Chelsea Position: Forward . Chelsea frontman Ugbo has set his sights on emulating club-mate Dominic Solanke by helping England's under 17s to European glory. Solanke played a key role as John Peacock's side lifted the trophy in Malta last year and Ugbo scored twice against Romania at Burton on Thursday to ensure England made this year's finals in Bulgaria with a 100 per cent record. 'It would be a dream come true for me,' said the Chelsea under 18 player afterwards. 'Seeing them win it last year, with Dom doing as well as he did too, it would be great to be able to follow on from them.' Chelsea frontman Ike Ugbo shoots for goal during England under 17's win over Norway last week . Reece Oxford . Age: 16 Club: West Ham Position: Centre-back . Proudly wearing the captain's armband, Oxford headed home to set the Young Lions on their way to a 3-1 win over Slovenia in the second of their Elite Round qualifiers. Despite being just 16, Oxford has featured regularly in West Ham's under 21 side and is tipped for a very bright future. Indeed, the teenager, who made Sam Allardyce's first-team squad for the Capital One Cup tie with Sheffield United earlier in the season, has been the subject of interest from Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United. Reece Oxford celebrates scoring for the under 17s against Slovenia in last week's qualifier . Danny Collinge . Age: 16 Club: Stuttgart Position: Centre-back . Scorer in England's 3-1 win over Norway, the first of the three qualifiers, Collinge has been a mainstay of the under 17 team for some time. He is something of a novelty in that he belongs to Stuttgart's academy in Germany, having joined them last summer from MK Dons. Reflecting on his goal against Norway, he said: 'I was over the moon - it was just being in the right place at the right time. But my celebration was a bit poor, that needs some work for next time.' Danny Collinge runs away in celebration after scoring his first England goal against Norway . UNDER 18 . Adam Armstrong . Age: 18 Club: Newcastle United Position: Forward . A pep-talk from England captain Wayne Rooney proved a source of inspiration for Newcastle hotshot Armstrong, who took his Three Lions goal tally to an impressive 19 in 24 matches with three goals in the friendly double-header with Switzerland over the weekend. Having scored the winner in Thursday's behind-closed-doors match at St George's Park, he contributed two stunners in a 6-1 rout of the same opponents at Walsall on Saturday. Already involved in Newcastle's first team, he has made 14 appearances for his hometown club and was also part of the England squad that won the Under 17 European Championships last season. Newcastle United hotshot Adam Armstrong scored twice in the under 18's friendly against Switzerland . Tammy Abraham . Age: 17 Club: Chelsea Position: Forward . Abraham was delighted to get off the mark on the international stage after scoring twice in the 6-1 defeat of Switzerland on Saturday but it was merely the continuation of an excellent season. He is the leading goalscorer nationally at under 18 level with 21 and has also played a key role in the Blues run to the FA Youth Cup final. He will now compete with club-mate Dominic Solanke and Armstrong for an England starting spot. Abraham said: 'I just have to keep scoring. That's the aim of any striker. I'll keep working hard to be picked again, and I'll be doing my best to achieve.' Chelsea's Tammy Abraham scores England's third goal against Switzerland at Walsall on Saturday . Taylor Moore . Age: 17 Club: Lens Position: Centre-back . Another Englishman abroad, defender Moore signed a three-year professional deal with French club Lens late last year. Capable of playing in central midfield as well as defence, the 17-year-old has become a regular in Neil Dewsnip's under 18 side this season. He too was part of the under 17s squad that tasted European glory in Malta last year, converting a penalty during the shoot-out win over Holland in the final. Taylor Moore on the ball during the under 18's emphatic 6-1 win over Switzerland on Saturday . UNDER 19 . Ashley Smith-Brown . Age: 18 Club: Manchester City Position: Defender . It's been quite the week for Manchester-born Smith-Brown, who scored vital winning goals in the under 19's qualifiers against Denmark and Azerbaijan, keeping Sean O'Driscoll's team on course for the finals in Greece. Primarily a right-back, Smith-Brown is more than capable of playing in any defensive position and has been involved with City's under 21 side this season, as well as the UEFA Youth League squad that reached the quarter-finals. Ashley Smith-Brown of Manchester City pictured in the colours of England . Patrick Roberts . Age: 18 Club: Fulham Position: Winger . A key component of the under 17 team that lifted the European Championships last year, Fulham whizzkid Roberts has quickly advanced to the under 19 level and looks very much at home. Indeed, in the initial qualifying phase he scored four goals and set up four more. Roberts made his Premier League debut last season and has continued to play for Fulham following their relegation to the Championship. Roberts has scored four goals for England during the current qualification campaign . Izzy Brown . Age: 18 Club: Chelsea Position: Forward/winger . Another member of the England team that triumphed at the Under 17 European Championships, the prolific Brown has made the step-up to the under 19 standard effortlessly and scored in the 3-2 win over Denmark last week. He is already a member of Jose Mourinho's first-team squad but features mainly in the Blues under 21 squad and the under 19 team that has reached the last four of the UEFA Youth League. Izzy Brown celebrates scoring for England against Italy in an under 19 international at Rotherham . UNDER 20 . John Swift . Age: 19 Club: Chelsea Position: Central midfield . An accomplished central midfield player, Swift has worked his way up the England youth ladder from the under 16s and is now a central cog in Aidy Boothroyd's under 20s. He opened the scoring in Sunday's 2-1 win over the United States in Plymouth. Brought through the Chelsea academy, Swift is currently out on loan at League One club Swindon Town to gain experience and has impressed, scoring two goals in 10 matches as they push for promotion. John Swift in action for the England under 20s in their 2-1 win over the United States in Plymouth . Moses Odubajo . Age: 21 Club: Brentford Position: Right-back . Brentford's Odubajo was called into the under 20 squad by coach Aidy Boothroyd for the first time and impressed in both matches to suggest that future appearances in the Three Lions shirt may be on the cards. The 21-year-old has been important in Brentford's surprising push for Premier League promotion this season and made the transition to the international arena effortlessly, putting himself in the frame for a place in Gareth Southgate's under 21 squad for the summer's European Championships. Moses Odubajo delivers a cross during England's under 20 win over the United States on Sunday . Alex Mowatt . Age: 20 Club: Leeds United Position: Midfield . This was Mowatt's second appearance in the colours of England and he made a strong case for future inclusion with a good performance in the win over the United States. His form in that match compliments his good season for Leeds United in the Championship, where he has made 31 appearances in all competitions and become a mainstay of the side. Leeds United star Alex Mowatt on the ball for the under 20s in their win over the United States . UNDER 21 . Tom Carroll . Age: 22 Club: Swansea City on loan from Tottenham Hotspur Position: Midfielder . Scored the winning goal as England under 21s defeated the Czech Republic, host nation of this summer's European Championships, on Friday night. The midfielder has been a part of Gareth Southgate's squad for some time and has been playing for Swansea City during this campaign on loan from Spurs. Tom Carroll celebrates with a clenched fist after scoring England's winner against the Czech Republic . John Stones . Age: 20 Club: Everton Position: Defender . A player who has experience with the senior team but seems content to gain experience with the under 21s for the time being. He figured in the win over the Czech Republic and looks set to be included in the squad for the Euros in the summer. Still only 20, Stones is a regular fixture in the Everton defence and manager Roberto Martinez has tipped him for a bright future for both club and country. Stones pictured in training ahead of England's under 21 game with the Czech Republic . Matt Targett . Age: 19 Club: Southampton Position: Left-back . Another product of Southampton's prolific production line, Targett made the jump up to under 21 standard on Friday night having previously played for the under 19s and under 20s. It has also been a breakthrough season for the 19-year-old at club level, with Ronald Koeman playing him in 12 Saints matches this term.

Extract the theories for why the Mary Celeste was abandoned. | Mary Celeste (/səˈlɛst/; often erroneously referred to as Marie Celeste) was an American-registered merchant brigantine, best known for being discovered adrift and deserted in the Atlantic Ocean off the Azores Islands on December 4, 1872. The Canadian brigantine Dei Gratia found her in a dishevelled but seaworthy condition under partial sail and with her lifeboat missing. The last entry in her log was dated ten days earlier. She had left New York City for Genoa on November 7 and was still amply provisioned when found. Her cargo of alcohol was intact, and the captain's and crew's personal belongings were undisturbed. None of those who had been on board were ever seen or heard from again.
Mary Celeste was built in Spencer's Island, Nova Scotia, and launched under British registration as Amazon in 1861. She was transferred to American ownership and registration in 1868, when she acquired her new name. Thereafter she sailed uneventfully until her 1872 voyage. At the salvage hearings in Gibraltar following her recovery, the court's officers considered various possibilities of foul play, including mutiny by Mary Celeste's crew, piracy by the Dei Gratia crew or others, and conspiracy to carry out insurance or salvage fraud. No convincing evidence supported these theories, but unresolved suspicions led to a relatively low salvage award.
The inconclusive nature of the hearings fostered continued speculation as to the nature of the mystery, and the story has repeatedly been complicated by false detail and fantasy. Hypotheses that have been advanced include the effects on the crew of alcohol fumes rising from the cargo, submarine earthquakes, waterspouts, attack by a giant squid, and paranormal intervention.
After the Gibraltar hearings, Mary Celeste continued in service under new owners. In 1885, her captain deliberately wrecked her off the coast of Haiti as part of an attempted insurance fraud. The story of her 1872 abandonment has been recounted and dramatized many times in documentaries, novels, plays, and films, and the name of the ship has become a byword for unexplained desertion. In 1884, Arthur Conan Doyle wrote "J. Habakuk Jephson's Statement", a short story based on the mystery, but spelled the vessel's name as Marie Celeste. The story's popularity led to the spelling becoming more common than the original in everyday use. | The theories for why the Mary Celeste was abandoned include mutiny by Mary Celeste's crew; piracy; conspiracy to carry out insurance or salvage fraud; and abandonment by the crew due to alcohol fumes rising from the cargo, submarine earthquakes, waterspouts, attack by a giant squid, and paranormal intervention. |

What are some films produced by Takiko Mizunoe? | Takiko Mizunoe (水の江 瀧子, Mizunoe Takiko), born Umeko Miura (三浦 ウメ子, Miura Umeko, 20 February 1915 – 16 November 2009), was a Japanese actress, film producer, and radio and TV presenter. She was born in Otaru, Hokkaido, and began her career by acting in Shochiku's musical theatre troupe. Later she became one of Japan’s first female film producers, working with the actors Yujiro Ishihara and Masumi Okada and the director Koreyoshi Kurahara at Nikkatsu during the studio’s golden age. Films she produced include Season of the Sun and Crazed Fruit. She also twice hosted the New Year’s Eve music show Kōhaku Uta Gassen. | Season of the Sun and Crazed Fruit |

What sacrifices did Ons's parents make to help her tennis career? | Ons Jabeur was born to Samira and Ridha Jabeur in Ksar Hellal, a small town in Tunisia. She grew up in the larger nearby coastal town of Sousse. Jabeur has two older brothers, Hatem and Marwen, and an older sister, Yasmine. Her mother played tennis recreationally and introduced her to the sport at the age of three. Jabeur trained under coach Nabil Mlika for ten years from ages four to thirteen, originally starting to work with him at a tennis promotion centre at her school. When she was ten years old, her club did not have their own tennis courts and she could only train on courts at nearby hotels. At twelve years old, Jabeur moved to the capital city of Tunis to train at the Lycée Sportif El Menzah, a national sport high school for the country's up-and-coming athletes, where she stayed for several years.
She also later trained in Belgium and France starting at the age of 16. Jabeur credits her parents for the sacrifices they made when she was growing up, saying, "My parents sacrificed a lot of things – my mom used to drive me everywhere around Tunisia to go play the tournaments, and she encouraged me to go to a special school to study. That was a big sacrifice to see her little girl going for a dream that, honestly, wasn't 100% guaranteed. She believed in me and gave me the confidence to be there." | Ons's mother used to drive Ons all around Tunisia to play tennis tournaments and encouraged Ons to go to a special school to study. |
Extract names of all weapons mentioned in the paragraph below: | In the late 18th century, French General Jean-Baptiste Vaquette de Gribeauval promoted standardized weapons in what became known as the Système Gribeauval after it was issued as a royal order in 1765. (Its focus at the time was artillery more than muskets or handguns.) One of the accomplishments of the system was that solid cast cannons were bored to precise tolerances, which allowed the walls to be thinner than cannons poured with hollow cores. However, because cores were often off center, the wall thickness determined the size of the bore. Standardized boring allowed cannons to be shorter without sacrificing accuracy and range because of the tighter fit of the shells. It also allowed standardization of the shells. | The following are names of weapons in the paragraph above: artillery, muskets, handguns, cannons, shells |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)As planets go, Mercury doesn't get a lot of love. People spend more time on Google searching for Queen singer Freddy Mercury than planet Mercury ... and Freddie's been gone for nearly a quarter-century. Not even NASA spends much time there, making it the least-explored inner planet in the solar system. But one question has long perplexed scientists: Why's the darned thing so dark? Compared with our own moon, which is about the same size, Mercury reflects much less light. Scientists at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Brown University and the Planetary Sciences Institute say they may have found the answer: It's been "effectively painted black," in the words of Megan Bruck Syal, a postdoctoral researcher at Lawrence Livermore. Over the eons, the researchers argue in a paper published Monday in the journal Nature Geoscience, microscopic meteorites spawned from carbon-rich comets may have contributed enough dark-hued carbon to reduce the amount of reflected light. The pieces seem to fit together: There's a lot more carbon dust thrown off from comets close to the sun, where Mercury orbits -- about 50 times as much for Mercury as for our moon, the researchers say. And tests using a big NASA gun made to simulate planetary impacts on a small scale seem to show the theory is plausible, the authors say. "We show that carbon acts like a stealth darkening agent," said Peter Schultz, a professor emeritus of geological sciences at Brown University. "From the standpoint of spectral analysis, it's like an invisible paint." | Mercury was "painted black" by millions of years of micrometeorites, researchers say .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Home Secretary Theresa May, pictured in Downing Street today, insisted the net migration target was 'important', even though latest data shows the figure hit 300,000 last year . The Conservatives are to repeat a pledge to cut net migration to the tens of thousands, despite utterly failing to meet it during the last five years. Home Secretary Theresa May insisted the target was 'important', even though latest data shows the figure hit 300,000 last year - three times what David Cameron promised. The net migration target is now set to be included in the Tory manifesto for May's general election, after Mrs May and Mr Cameron rejected repeated warnings that it was a mistake. A total of 298,000 more people arrived in Britain than left in the year to September, as the numbers arriving from the rest of the EU hit a record high. Before the last election Mr Cameron pledged to cut the figure below 100,000, a promise he repeated in 2011: 'No ifs. No buts.' A record 624,000 arrived in Britain in a year, up from 530,000 in the previous 12 months. At the same time, 327,000 left, a figure which has barely changed since 2010. Senior Tories including William Hague last week tried to claim the failure to meet the target was a 'problem of success' because workers from struggling European economies were flocking to booming Britain. But calls have grown for the Tories to ditch the pledge, because the government is unable to control the numbers arriving from the EU. Senior figures, including Chancellor George Osborne, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt and Communities Secretary Eric Pickles are understood to have voiced doubts about the idea. Former home secretary Ken Clarke said globalisation had made the immigration target impossible to meet, while Baroness Warsi, an ex-Tory party chairwoman, said it was 'unrealistic'. Now Mrs May has signalled that she intends to include a pledge on net migration in the Conservative manifesto. 'I think we will keep the target,' she told The Times. 'It is important because it is about not just dealing with those coming into the system but also about making sure that those people who shouldn't live here actually leave.' She added: 'You will have to wait for the manifesto to see the exact words. The idea of the net migration target will still be there.' Scroll down for video . Net long-term migration to the UK was estimated to be 298,000 in the year ending September 2014, a major rise on the 210,000 figure a year earlier . Net migration from the EU hit 162,000 in the year ending September 2014, up from 130,000 in the previous year . 'We would like to see net immigration in the tens of thousands rather than the hundreds of thousands.' David Cameron, Jan 2010 . 'Levels of immigration can return to where they were in the 1980s and 90s. Net migration to this country will be in the order of tens of thousands each year. No ifs. No buts. That's a promise we made to the British people.' David Cameron, April 2011 . 'When we made that comment ... we were very clear that was what we wanted to do. It remains the objective towards which the Prime Minister and others are working.' Theresa May, Nov 10 . 'It is, of course, unlikely that we are going to reach the tens of thousands by the end of the Parliament.' Theresa May, Nov 23 . She also sought to put pressure on other Cabinet ministers, with a warning that the impact of immigration is felt across Whitehall. Mrs May said: 'Obviously the Home Office is responsible for UK visas and immigration, the Border Force and immigration enforcement but actually immigration is an issue that touches across government departments and has a whole number of different aspects. 'It affects issues around jobs, questions of illegal working, access to housing, education, the NHS. 'It touches all government departments and I think that's the thing that's important.' Downing Street blames the increase on the number of people moving from within the EU, which the government cannot control. Ministers have argued that immigration from outside the EU has been falling as a result of tighter border restrictions. However, non-EU net migration is at its highest level since the end of December 2011. Mrs May revealed she faced a battle with officials to get them to accept that immigration could cause problems. 'There was a problem with the orthodoxy in Whitehall when we came into government in 2010,' she said. 'It was the idea that immigration by definition was good - in that automatically if you've got more people, GDP goes up. 'Of course, GDP per head doesn't necessarily go up - so they didn't look beyond that point.' Prime Minister David Cameron promised before the election to cut net immigration in the tens of thousands . Former home secretary Ken Clarke said globalisation had made the immigration target impossible to meet, while Baroness Warsi, an ex-Tory party chairwoman, said it was 'unrealistic' Downing Street insisted Mr Cameron's 'ambition' to reduce net migration below 100,000 remained. Mr Cameron's official spokesman told a regular Westminster media briefing: 'You won't be surprised to know that he takes a different view from Ken on this one. It won't be the first time that he and Ken haven't had exactly the same views.' The spokesman said the Prime Minister's views on the need to reduce annual net migration below 100,000 had not changed since a speech in November, when he said that it remained an 'ambition', even if it was not possible to achieve it during this Parliament. When the latest figures were released last week, Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg today said the Tories must now 'quite rightly suffer the embarrassment' of breaking the promise. Sunder Katwala, director of the British Future think tank, said: 'If the Prime Minister remains in denial about the broken target, he is setting himself up for five more years of failure. It is already clear there is next to no chance of meeting the same target in the next Parliament either. 'It's absurd to think that anyone would believe this broken promise if it's made again. 'There is a simple political moral to this tale: careless promises cost trust.' | Home Secretary says target is 'important' despite being woefully missed . Prime Minister promised voters to cut net migration: 'No ifs. No buts' Latest figures show that in year to September net migration hit 298,000 . 624,000 people arrived in the UK, but only 327,000 left during the year . Immigration from the EU at a record high as it hits 251,000 in a year . |

Generate a summary of the text | Zlatan Ibrahimovic has apologised for any offence caused by his outburst following Paris St Germain's defeat to Bordeaux - but claims his words have been 'twisted'. Ibrahimovic is facing an investigation by the French football league (LFP) for comments made as he left the field on Sunday. The Sweden striker's two goals were not enough to prevent PSG suffering a 3-2 defeat and he was angry not to be awarded a free-kick by referee Lionel Jaffredo after Bordeaux goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso picked up a clear backpass from defender Ludovic Sane with five minutes remaining. Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored twice but could not prevent PSG's 3-2 defeat by Bordeaux . Ibrahimovic was heard swearing as he walks towards the changing room after PSG's defeat . THe Swede reacted angrily to the defeat and said it was the worst refereeing display he'd ever seen . The PSG talisman reportedly referred to French referee Lionel Jaffredo (centre) as an 'a******' after the game . As he walked off the field Ibrahimovic - no stranger to making controversial remarks - was filmed venting his anger. Speaking in English but in partial sentences, he can be heard saying: 'He's an a******. Play 15 years, never seen referee this s*** country. Don't even deserve PSG should be in this country. F****** too good for all of you. Should be happy they exist.' An LFP statement on Monday read: 'Following the receipt of the officials' report, the disciplinary commission of the LFP will study in its meeting of Thursday March 19 the comments made by Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the end of the game between Girondins de Bordeaux and Paris St Germain (29th round of Ligue 1).' French sports minister Patrick Kanner called on the Swede to apologise, which he later did in a post on his Instagram account. And talking to PSG's website on Monday evening, Ibrahimovic reiterated: 'First of all, I was not aiming for the people. 'When I said it, I was angry at that moment. Whoever felt offended, or took it in the wrong way, I apologise. Ibrahimovic looks generally unimpressed as his side fall to defeat that leaves them second in Ligue 1 .

'I think that whoever saw it, or however the media is trying to twist it, I think the French people are intelligent enough to understand the situation. 'The welcome I have had here, I'm very happy. I respect people who respect me, every day I go through here I've had a fantastic time. 'I have no regrets and nobody will change my opinion. From the first day I came, I had a good time and I will continue to have a good time. 'So don't twist it, it's about football we talk, so let's focus on the football. The football here is the most important (thing) for me.' Ibrahimovic's comments towards Jaffredo come less than a week after he was sent off in his side's Champions League victory over Chelsea and accused the Blues' players of acting like 'babies' after they surrounded referee Bjorn Kuipers. Ibrahimovic had previously accused Chelsea of acting like 'babies' during their Champions League defeat . Injured team-mate Serge Aurier faces UEFA disciplinary action after labelling Kuipers a 'dirty son of a bitch' in a video posted on Facebook, and the two incidents prompted a response from France's elite referees organisation SAFE (Syndicat des Arbitres du Football d'Elite). An open letter from SAFE president Stephane Lannoy on the organisation's website read: 'We thought we had seen a peak in media outcry after Chelsea-PSG. We thought we had heard everything. But no. 'Sunday night, for a back-pass, we had a new outburst of hatred and verbal abuse. The equation is simple: back-pass = worst referee in 15 years = s*** country. 'After Mr Kuipers on Wednesday (from what country...?), Mr Jaffredo on Sunday - and ultimately, as the cup was not yet full, the whole of France.' The letter concluded: 'It is time to realise we cannot say anything, do anything and accept anything. It is high time that finally, in football, everyone recognises the status of the referee and accepts and respects it.' Ibrahimovic has been told he should leave France by the nation's far right National Front leader Marine Le Pen. The National Front Leader told France Info Radio: 'Those who consider that France is a s*** country can leave it. It's as simple as that.' | PSG talisman could be heard making a foul mouth rant following PSG's 3-2 defeat by Bordeaux on Sunday .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Jody Cundy recognises the clock is ticking as he bids for Paralympic gold four years on from his notorious explosion at London 2012. Cundy was favourite for victory in the London 2012 C4/C5 one-kilometre time-trial at the Olympic Velodrome, only for his Games to end in an explosive rant at officials. Race commissaries deemed rider failure to be the result of a start gate issue; Cundy argued it was faulty, but his protests were dismissed. It was a seminal moment of the Paralympics, when the watching public realised Paralympians are athletes first and foremost. Joy Cundy is aiming for gold at the Rio 2016 Olympics after his dramatic disappointment at London 2012 . Now Cundy, a five-time Paralympic champion swimmer and cyclist, is going for gold at the Rio Games in 2016, with the Paracycling Track World Championships, which begin on Thursday, a key indicator. The 36-year-old from Wisbech, Cambridgeshire said: 'I've always got that missed gold in London that's always playing on the back of my mind. 'That helps me get up in the morning, continue training and make sure we put all the wrongs to right when we get to Rio. 'I seem to be still getting faster and in training I'm in better form than I was prior to London. 'I'm not getting any younger, but I'm good enough to keep going through to Rio. 'Apeldoorn's going to be the first checkpoint to see if I'm on target.' Race commissaries deemed rider failure to be the result of a start gate issue however Cundy disagreed . Cundy, favourite for gold before his false start in the 1km time trial, shows his outrage after his exit . Cundy acknowledges Tokyo 2020, when he will be 41, may be four years too far and Rio may be his last chance. He added: 'I keep thinking I'm new to the sport, but I joined the squad in 2006. This is my eighth year on the team. 'I've nearly had as many years on the cycling team as I had on the swimming team. 'It's certainly getting harder with each year I do it.' Yet Cundy is still making improvements. Despite being hospitalised to intensive care last November with a swollen epiglottis, Cundy bounced back to post a sea-level personal best in his favoured kilo event at the Newport International event in January. Cundy aims to put his blow-up in the Olympic Velodrome behind him at the Paracycling Track World Championships, which begin in the Netherlands on Thursday . The track in Apeldoorn, Holland which hosts this week's competition is not known for being fast, though, so returning with the world champion's rainbow jersey is the primary objective. Cundy is held back by a team official after the DNF . Cundy added: 'It's about winning the world title and performing as well as I can against my main competitors.' Cundy, a C4 athlete who is a below-knee amputee, races against riders with a lesser impairment than his own in Paralympic competition. The times posted are factored, but Cundy wants to be quicker than all of his C4 and C5 rivals in Rio. 'On the factors they've currently got it's about a 0.6 or 0.8 (of a second) advantage I've got,' he added. 'But I'd rather win on time, be faster on time, that way there's no doubts.' Cundy is joined in the team by 11-time Paralympic champion Dame Sarah Storey, who is defending two world titles. Neil Fachie and his pilot Pete Mitchell are also defending their one-kilometre time-trial tandem title, while Commonwealth Games winning pair Sophie Thornhill and Helen Scott are in partnership in the women's tandem events. Crystal Lane, Lora Turnham (piloted by Lauryn Therin) and World Championships debutants Megan Giglia, Steve Bate (piloted by Adam Duggleby), Louis Rolfe and Jaco van Gass complete the team.

Who directed the Lost in Translation movie? | "Lost in Translation is a 2003 romantic comedy-drama film[note 1] written and directed by Sofia Coppola. Bill Murray stars as Bob Harris, a fading American movie star who is having a midlife crisis when he travels to Tokyo to promote Suntory whisky. There, he befriends another estranged American named Charlotte, a young woman and recent college graduate played by Scarlett Johansson. Giovanni Ribisi and Anna Faris also feature. The film explores themes of alienation and disconnection against a backdrop of cultural displacement in Japan. Further analysis by critics and scholars has focused on the film's defiance of mainstream narrative conventions and its atypical depiction of romance.
Murray's performance in Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation (2003) earned him a Golden Globe and a British Academy Film Award and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor. He has frequently collaborated with directors Ivan Reitman, Harold Ramis, Wes Anderson, Sofia Coppola, Jim Jarmusch, John McNaughton and the Farrelly brothers. He received Golden Globe nominations for his roles in Ghostbusters, Rushmore (1998), Hyde Park on Hudson (2012), St. Vincent (2014), On the Rocks (2020) and the HBO miniseries Olive Kitteridge (2014), for which he later won his second Primetime Emmy Award." | Lost in Translation was written and directed by Sofia Coppola. |

Generate a summary of the text | Savers have missed out on £130billion of interest payments as a result of ultra-low rates – around £5,000 for every household in the UK – a report reveals today. The Bank of England slashed interest rates to a historic low of 0.5 per cent in March 2009 at the height of the Great Recession. Almost exactly six years on, figures lay bare the crippling impact low rates have had on prudent households, including many pensioners and hard-working families. The Bank of England (pictured) slashed interest rates to a historic low of 0.5 per cent in March 2009 at the height of the Great Recession, which has had a crippling impact on prudent households . Laith Khalaf, a senior analyst at savings and investment firm Hargreaves Lansdown, which produced the report, said: ‘It’s been a gruelling six years for savers in the UK who have seen the income from their cash obliterated. The future doesn’t look too much rosier either. ‘While interest rate rises may be on the cards next year, when they come they are likely to be small and slow.’ Interest rates were 5 per cent in September 2008 – the month US investment banking giant Lehman Brothers collapsed. But they were cut aggressively as the global financial crisis deepened, before reaching an all-time low of 0.5 per cent on March 5, 2009. Had rates stayed at their September 2008 level, savers would have received £130billion more interest on their nest eggs, Hargreaves Lansdown found. And according to Bank of England figures, the amount of cash held in accounts that pay no interest at all has risen from £47billion to £150billion since the financial crisis struck. Laith Khalaf (pictured), a senior analyst at savings and investment firm Hargreaves Lansdown, said the future 'doesn’t look too much rosier either' However, Mr Khalaf said that without ultra-low interest rates ‘we would almost certainly have been left in a much sorrier state by the financial crisis’. He added: ‘There have also been beneficiaries of low interest rates, most notably borrowers, who have seen their mortgage payments fall substantially.’ Bank of England governor Mark Carney has admitted low rates ‘help debtors at the expense of savers’. The Bank is expected to leave rates at 0.5 per cent again tomorrow, when the monetary policy committee finishes its latest monthly meeting. Mr Carney has suggested that rates could even be cut again – possibly to 0.25 per cent or even closer to zero – if ultra-low inflation persists. But he and other senior Bank officials have also claimed the next move in interest rates will probably be up. It is thought rates could start to rise late this year or early next year, although Mr Carney has insisted increases should be ‘limited and gradual’. Dr Ros Altmann, a government advisor and pensions expert, said the over-65s have been offered ‘a bit of relief’ through so-called pensioner bonds. These offer 2.8 per cent on one-year bonds and 4 per cent over three years. But she added: ‘Anyone younger than 65 is really struggling to make their savings pay.’ | Bank of England slashed interest rates to historic 0.5% low in March 2009 .

What's the architecture in Maskavas Forstate look like? | Maskavas Forštate (German: Moskauer Vorstadt) also known as Maskavas priekšpilsēta and colloquially as Maskačka, is a suburb of Riga situated on the right bank of the Daugava. The neighborhood is located to the south of Old Riga along the road historically connecting Riga to Moscow, from which its name is derived.
History

The history of Maskavas Forštate, whose name in English literally means Moscow Suburb goes back to at least the 14th century, in some parts the medieval street network has been preserved. However, the area is first mentioned in 1348 by the name of Lastādija (German: Lastadie).
Architecturally, the neighborhood reflects its history as an area of Russian, Belarusian and Jewish migration, especially characteristic wooden homes.
During the Nazi occupation of Riga, the neighborhood was turned into a ghetto for Jews. Today, there are memorials on the site of the Great Choral Synagogue and the Old Jewish cemetery. Most of the prewar buildings remain standing. | The architecture of Maskavas Forštate reflects the history of Russian, Belarusian, and Jewish migration. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The fight to get to this point only makes the prize on offer more precious. For David Marshall, retaining his place against Gibraltar would matter every bit as much as facing Germany. The Cardiff City goalkeeper has been Gordon Strachan’s pick for each of the four Euro 2016 qualifiers to date. He has not let his manager down, yet is keenly aware that competition for the jersey continues to intensify. Craig Gordon and Allan McGregor each played 45 minutes of Wednesday night’s 1-0 friendly win over Northern Ireland. If one were reading the runes, it might suggest that Marshall will get the run-out when Gibraltar visit Hampden tomorrow. Scotland's David Marshall admits retaining place against Gibraltar is as important as facing Germany . The 30-year-old will assume nothing, however, until he has heard Strachan read out the 11 names in the morning. If that leads to a 17th cap, there will be no hint of complacency. Marshall went through years of travelling away with the national squad without much hope of playing. On the rare occasions he was selected, he had an unfortunate tendency to end up on the wrong end of a hefty scoreline through no error of his own. It almost seemed the fates were conspiring against him, but Marshall transformed the situation through his outstanding form for Cardiff in the Premier League last season. Having finally leap to the front of the queue, he is determined to stay there. ‘Everyone knows my history with Scotland,’ Marshall reflected. ‘I had to wait years and years to get caps, so it makes each one more valuable now as I get older. ‘I don’t want to give it up, so I’ll just continue to do what I can. It doesn’t matter to me if it is Germany or Gibraltar. There is a lot of pressure on us to win the game and it puts us in a great position if we manage to do it. Gordon Strachan has picked David Marshall for all four Euro 2016 qualifiers to date . ‘Years ago, I never thought I should be playing. Craig was brilliant. Then Allan came in at a stage when I wasn’t playing. So there was never a time when I expected to play. ‘It’s just in the last couple of years when I have got myself to a level where I can believe in myself to go and play. Injuries put Allan and Craig out and I managed to get a chance and play well, so that’s why I was probably in the team. ‘With the standard of the keepers here, it’s difficult to consider yourself the No 1. I’ve waited a long time to get a chance, but the boys are all fit. Craig has done great to get playing at Celtic and Allan is playing in the Premier League. ‘I don’t think it would be a massive decision whoever played, but the gaffer has stuck with me since the beginning of the campaign and I hope to keep playing well and stay in the side.’ Clearly, there is a professional rivalry within the goalkeeping trio, described by no less a judge than Andy Goram as Scotland’s best-ever crop. But it is distinctly cordial in nature. Marshall has not yet let his manager down, but is aware that competition is rising in the ranks . ‘We’ve been together for a long time now,’ said Marshall. ‘I’ve been here for over 10 years and Craig has been the same, obviously minus a couple of years through injury. ‘We know each other so well and we are used to the standard. When we are together, it hopefully lifts us to make each other better. ‘When I was younger, Andy Goram and Jim Leighton were great. That was a great group of goalkeepers, so to hear what Andy – a legend for Rangers and Scotland – said is a great honour. ‘But we can’t read too much into that. We just have to keep performing as that is what you are judged on. We need to concentrate and do our best for the rest for the rest of the campaign. ‘I would definitely consider the other guys friends. I shared a room with Craig for five or six years at the start with Scotland. ‘It might be a bit different at club level when there is that one place. But being here is about the country. We have not been at a championship for so long, so there is no room for sticking the knife in each other’s back. We are all together.’ Allan McGregor kept a clean sheet during 45 minutes of action in a friendly against Northern Ireland . Whoever is selected tomorrow, they will face a most curious assignment. Gibraltar have lost their four Group D fixtures by an aggregate score of 21-0. Unless something very odd happens, the Scotland penalty area should verge on a no-go zone. ‘It’s a difficult game to talk about,’ admitted Marshall. ‘Concentration levels have got to be high and football is weird. There could be a deflection, a set-piece, anything. ‘We need to start the game well as the earlier we can score the better. Craig Gordon kept a clean sheet in 45 minutes of action in a friendly against Northern Ireland . ‘This is probably the only time with Scotland that you are expected not to have too much to do. ‘But concentration is a massive thing in goalkeeping. I had it with Celtic when I was younger, when you would play a lot of games where there was not a lot to do. You just have to deal with it and train as normal. ‘Would I prefer to be busy? No, I prefer doing nothing! But you just don’t know how it is going to play out. You can’t go into a game relaxed. You treat it like any normal game and hope the boys up front can help you out.’ | Gordon Strachan has picked David Marshall for all four Euro 2016 qualifiers .

Why did Ken Shamrock change his last name? | Kenneth Wayne Shamrock (né Kilpatrick; born February 11, 1964) is an American bare-knuckle boxing promoter and semi-retired professional wrestler, mixed martial artist, and kickboxer. He is best known for his time in Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and other combat sports. A member of the UFC Hall of Fame, Shamrock is widely regarded as an icon and pioneer of the sport. He has headlined over 15 main events and co-main events in the UFC and Pride FC and set numerous MMA pay-per-view records. In the early part of his UFC career, Shamrock was named "The World's Most Dangerous Man" by ABC News in a special called "The World's Most Dangerous Things". The moniker has stuck as his nickname.
Shamrock became known early on in the UFC for his rivalry with Royce Gracie. After fighting to a draw in the inaugural UFC "Superfight", he became the first UFC Superfight Champion when he defeated Dan Severn at UFC 6; the title was eventually replaced by the UFC Heavyweight Championship when weight categories were introduced to the UFC. He was also the first foreign MMA champion in Japan, winning the title of King of Pancrase Openweight title. During his reign as the UFC Superfight Champion, he was widely considered the #1 mixed martial artist in the world, and in 2008, Shamrock was ranked by Inside MMA as one of the top 10 greatest mixed martial arts fighters of all time. He is the founder of the Lion's Den mixed martial arts training camp, and is the older brother of fellow fighter Frank Shamrock.
In addition to his mixed martial arts career, Shamrock enjoyed considerable success in professional wrestling, particularly during his tenure with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE). There, he is a one-time Intercontinental Champion, a one-time World Tag Team Champion and the 1998 King of the Ring. Shamrock also wrestled for Total Nonstop Action Wrestling (TNA, now Impact Wrestling), where he is a one-time NWA World Heavyweight Champion – the first world champion under the TNA banner – and a 2020 inductee in the Impact Hall of Fame. He headlined multiple pay-per-view events in both promotions, including 1997's D-Generation X: In Your House, where he challenged for the WWF Championship. Additionally, Shamrock was also one of the first wrestlers to use the shoot style of wrestling in America, being credited by WWE with popularizing the legitimate ankle lock submission hold.
A "military brat," Kilpatrick was born at Robins Air Force Base, in Warner Robins, Georgia, where he lived for his first four years. His father Richard Kilpatrick was a United States Air Force enlistee, and his mother Diane Kilpatrick was a waitress and dancer who had her first son when she was 15. Shamrock had three brothers and came from a broken family in a predominantly black neighborhood of Atlanta, Georgia.
He was often left to fend for himself, and, without his parents' supervision or guidance, got into many fights. His father abandoned his family when Shamrock was five. His mother married an Army aviator named Bob Nance, and the newly formed family moved to Napa, California, Nance's hometown. Shamrock and his brothers were outsiders in this community, coming from a poor background and speaking in a Southern accent. They continued to cause trouble and get into fights and began using drugs. Nance, who fought in the Vietnam War, joined the local fire department and also worked in roofing and upholstery. Shamrock became involved in and excelled at sports at a young age, playing in Little League baseball and Pop Warner football. Nance remembers a veteran coach telling him that he had never seen a player with as much heart and tenacity as the young Shamrock. Shamrock was not as involved with drugs as his brothers, such as his brother Richie, who enjoyed smoking marijuana and eventually using heroin intravenously, but who also played football.
At age 10, Shamrock ran away from home for the first time, and was stabbed by another child on the run, ending up in the hospital. When he was 13, his stepfather kicked him out of their home, and each of the brothers went their own ways. Shamrock lived in cars before being placed in a foster home. He went through seven group homes and served time in a juvenile hall. He moved between several more group homes before being placed in Bob Shamrock's Boys' Home at age 14 in Susanville, California where he turned his life around. Bob Shamrock legally adopted Ken as his son, and Ken changed his last name from Kilpatrick to Shamrock in Bob's honor.
At Lassen High School, Shamrock (known there as Kenny Nance) excelled in football and wrestling. As a senior, he qualified for the state championships in wrestling, but broke his neck in practice days before the competition and underwent neck surgery. He received no scholarship offers from any big colleges, and doctors told him his sports career was likely over. Against doctors' orders, he joined the Shasta College football team, where he was voted team captain in his final season. The San Diego Chargers of the National Football League later offered him a tryout, but he declined in order to pursue a career in professional wrestling, where he debuted in 1989 in the South Atlantic Pro Wrestling promotion. | Ken Shamrock changed his last name from Kilpatrick to Shamrock in honor of his adoptive father, Bob Shamrock. Bob Shamrock legally adopted Ken after Ken was placed in Bob Shamrock's Boys' Home, following a period of homelessness after being kicked out of his stepfather's home, several foster homes, group homes, and a stint in juvenile home. |

Generate a summary of the text | Lewis Hamilton is determined to' create history' again this Formula One season after insisting there is more to come despite a perfect start to the new year. Reigning world champion Hamilton claimed pole, fastest lap and race win in the opening grand prix of the campaign in Australia earlier this month. With team-mate Nico Rosberg second it was abundantly clear Mercedes will take some stopping again this term following a dominant 2014. Lewis Hamilton poses for a picture with a fan at a meet-and-greet session in Kuala Lumpur on Wednesday . Hamilton is expected to go head-to-head with Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg once more in 2015 . Hamilton has vowed to create history at Mercedes as he bids to win his third world championship . Mercedes set a new record for victories in a season with 16 from the 19 races, surpassing the prior mark of 15 set by McLaren in 1988 and Ferrari in 2002 and again in 2004. The German manufacturing giant also equalled Red Bull's 2011 record of 18 poles for the year, with their only blip in Austria where both Hamilton and Rosberg made errors to let in Williams' Felipe Massa. The worry for Mercedes' rivals this year is the team appear to have taken a step forward, with Hamilton showing no let up in his desire to make it three world titles. 'In terms of my performance I've got more to come,' said Hamilton ahead of this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix. 'I've been spending time with the engineers and I'm going to work really hard to understand. 'Last year when I went to Malaysia I went fresh. It was like my first race of the year. The British driver appeared in relaxed spirits as he sets sights on a third Formula One title . The Mercedes drivers look set to dominate the remainder of the season after setting the pace in Australia . Rosberg and Hamilton sign autographs for the dozens Mercedes-supporting fans in Malaysia . 'I went into the race not really knowing how long the tyres would last, but what happened turned out to be exceptional. 'After that race there was this big debrief and a document done to explain everything I did. 'Now I've won in Australia I'm going to extract everything from my data and see how I can better my performance. I definitely feel in this next race I can be better than I was last time out.' Asked of Hamilton whether it was Mercedes' target to win every race this season, he replied: 'The target's always been to win every race, even in the bad days. 'But this year we have an awesome car with improved reliability, so the target is to create history again.' Hamilton won in Malaysia last year ahead of Mercedes team-mate Rosberg . Hamilton is aware, however, of the potential perils and pitfalls that lie ahead which could scupper such aspirations. 'To pick up where we left off last year was awesome, but if 2014 showed us anything it's that putting together a whole season is never easy,' assessed Hamilton. 'Winning the first race is just one small step in a long journey and I'm not reading anything into it. 'The next step is Malaysia and that's all I've been focusing on since we left Melbourne. 'The race is really tough with the heat and humidity, but I feel ready for anything right now and the aim is to repeat last year's performance. 'It took me eight attempts to win this race before I finally made it to the top step last year. I don't plan on waiting that long again. 'From an outsider's perspective it appeared Hamilton crucially drew first blood in what is expected to be another intense season-long battle with Rosberg. Hamilton, though, suggested otherwise, stating: 'Psychologically it doesn't make any difference for me. 'I won the championship again last year, and I felt like it wasn't a fluke. I'm deserving of where I am. 'And I worked damn hard to get that win in Australia. Again there wasn't any luck involved.' | Lewis Hamilton heads into Malaysian Grand Prix leading the championship .

David Moyes has led Real Sociedad from the relegation places to mid table after taking charge in November .

'But the team needed to react and it certainly has done so. 'Our immediate aim has been achieved.

Thurman won a piece of the welterweight title with a bruising decision win over Guerrero in the debut of a new boxing series on network television. And he did it with the kind of fight that had the crowd on its feet and gave a much needed boost to boxing in the first prime-time fights on NBC in 30 years. 'That's kind of performance that wins the hearts of fans even when you don't win the fight,' Guerrero said. 'The fans love that and that's what boxing is all about.' Keith Thurman (left) lands a left jab on Robert Guerrero during their WBA welterweight title bout . The fight was the highlight of a card that also included a win by Adrien Broner over John Molina in a super lightweight bout. But while fans booed that fight for lack of action, they cheered from the opening bell as Thurman took apart Guerrero in a fight that had a little bit of something for every fan - except a knockout. 'I know I was hurting him each and every round,' Thurman said. 'But he's a veteran and knew how to pace himself and stay a little out of my range.' Thurman knocked Guerrero down in the ninth round and won easily on all three ringside scorecards to capture the WBA version of the 147-pound crown. But Guerrero fought hard and wasn't afraid to trade punches even while bleeding from a cut over his left eye late in the bout. A bloodied Guerrero rises to his feet after he was knocked down by Thurman in the ninth round . Thurman is sent to the neutral corner by referee Kenny Bayless as Guerrero recovers on the canvas . Thurman landed 211 of 598 punches to 104 of 497 for Guerrero, but that didn't tell the whole story. Thurman's punches were much harder and seemed to shake Guerrero on several occasions, though they didn't deter him from pressing the fight even after being knocked down and nearly knocked out in the ninth round. 'I keep fighting my heart out and that's what the fans like about me,' Guerrero said . Thurman won every round on one ringside scorecard and 10 rounds on the other two, using thudding punches to keep Guerrero away. Still, he was never able to put him away and Guerrero came back in the 10th round to land some big punches of his own while Thurman was on the ropes. 'Robert Guerrero was a tremendous warrior,' Thurman said. 'He was there the whole way.' Thurman won easily on all three ringside scorecards to capture the WBA version of the 147-pound crown . It was a signature win for Thurman, and not only because he was showcased on the top of the television card. He beat a fighter who fought Floyd Mayweather Jr. in 2012, lasting all 12 rounds though dropping a lopsided decision. And he remained unbeaten in 25 fights with a performance that could put him in a big pay-per-view fight his next time out. The fight was the first of 20 cards scheduled this year for the Premier Boxing Champions series put together by manager Al Haymon and featuring his fighters. It was also the first of five scheduled Saturday prime-time bouts on NBC. And while it was created for television with an all-star cast of announcers that included Al Michaels, Marv Albert and Laila Ali, it also gave the crowd of 10,106 at the MGM Grand something different, too. Adrien Broner (right) hits John Molina with a right jab during their super lightweight bout in Las Vegas . Boxers were introduced on a stage at one end of the arena, and there were new high definition monitors above the ring to show the action. Unlike most boxing events, the fights also went off on time to accommodate television. In the first fight, Broner boxed his way to an easy win over Molina, using his left jab to pile up points. Despite winning every round on two of the three scorecards, though, Broner was booed by many in the crowd at the MGM Grand for not trying for a knockout in the super lightweight bout. Broner, trying to re-establish himself after a loss in 2012 to Marcos Maidana, used his superior speed to keep Molina off balance, rarely allowing him to land more than a single punch at a time. The former three-time champion was so far ahead in the final round that he did little but dance away from Molina, finally raising his hands in triumph with 10 seconds still left in the fight. Broner celebrates his victory after finishing his fight with a scorecard of 120-108, 120-108 and 118-110 . 'I know I lived up to the hype,' Broner said. 'He was swinging for the fences and I stayed dangerous. I felt like I beat all odds tonight.' Ringside punch stats reflected both Broner's dominance and the ineffectiveness of Molina's attack. Broner threw twice as many punches (502-249), and landed four times as many (219-54) in winning a decision that was never in doubt after the early rounds. Broner said he was not concerned about the boos, something commonplace early in his career. 'I knew walking into the arena 85 percent of the fans were against me,' he said. 'But I know I made some new fans around the world.' Broner, who improved to 30-1, was paid $1.2 million (£800,000), while Molina (27-6) earned $450,000 (£300,000). | Keith Thurman defeated Robert Guerrero to retain the WBA title .

In a statement the FA says all video footage will be studied to identify culprits and ‘ensure they face appropriate punishment’.

'The Club will also cooperate fully with the Football Association. There will be no further comment until all inquiries are complete.’ The national lead officer for football policing questioned the scheduling of the match, which kicked off at 5.30pm. 'Saturday night football is here to stay, we appreciate that, Friday night football is due to be coming in,' he told BBC Radio Five Live. 'When you have these fixtures you have to be careful about which ones you play. All games have potential (for crowd trouble) but clearly some games have more potential than others. 'They are big clubs, not clubs that particularly have a troublesome following but when you have that sort of fixture, late on a weekend in particular, alcohol is a factor. 'If you give people four, five, six hours more drinking time, don't be surprised if in a highly-charged atmosphere, their behaviour isn't good. Villa fans leap over hoardings at full-time, and the decision to play the game at 5.30pm is being questioned . West Brom goalkeeper Boaz Myhill is mocked by an Aston Villa fan following the home side's second goal . 'If you're looking at whether alcohol was a factor, there was disorder at a public house near the ground before the game, people being arrested coming into the ground for being drunk and disorderly, being drunk seeking entry to a football ground. 'If you looked at the people who came onto the pitch, a few of them looked like they were worse for wear from some substance and I don't think there is any coincidence that where there's alcohol involved, people's behaviour tends to deteriorate.' He added: 'I do think there is an issue here for the broadcasters because that game was scheduled for a 5.30 kick-off to meet the BBC's scheduling. 'Broadcasters as well as the football authorities need to start taking these issues seriously. 'What we want is a sensible dialogue so that we schedule the game appropriately. If you look at the four games for the FA Cup quarter-finals this week, you couldn't probably have picked a worse one to have on a Saturday tea-time than a local derby between two big clubs.'

The Black Cats have managed only 23 goals in their 28 Barclays Premier League fixtures to date this season, a return which has left them perched perilously close to the relegation zone as the season reaches crunch-point. Perhaps even more worrying is the fact that Gus Poyet's pool of frontmen has contributed just nine of those goals, a record Wickham knows simply has to improve if they are to avoid a second successive scramble for top-flight survival. Sunderland striker Jermain Defoe has only managed two goals since his January arrival from FC Toronto . 'I wouldn't say the criticism of the strikers is unfair,' admitted Wickham, speaking to the Northern Echo. 'Strikers are going to get the most at any club because they are the money-makers, they are the ones that the fans are relying on to score the goals. That's where the criticism can come. 'Chances come and you do need to put them away. We are creating chances. The way we set up, we are setting up to attack at times when we get the ball. We do try to break as quickly as we can when we get the ball. Connor Wickham, who has scored just three league goals this season, says Sunderland attack must do better . Wickham, 21, scored one of his three Premier League strikes this term against champions Manchester City . 'We have done it in games but we have to get more consistent with it and get in to the box more. We will climb away from the rest of the group down there if we can start to put our chances away.' Scotland international Steven Fletcher is currently leading the way for the strikers with four goals - the same number as midfielder Adam Johnson - with Wickham having managed three and January arrival Jermain Defoe two. Danny Graham is yet to score for the club, while Jozy Altidore, who left the Stadium of Light for Toronto in an exchange deal with Defoe in January, did so having found the back of the net just three times in 52 appearances in all competitions. Sunderland face Aston Villa - the only Premier League club to have scored fewer goals with just 15 to date - at the Stadium of Light on Saturday with three points crucial for both sides.

Ibrahimovic was sent off after a lunging challenge on Chelsea's Oscar on the half hour mark but it appeared harsh as both players made forceful tackles. Chelsea players surround referee Bjorn Kuipers as Paris Saint-Germain striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic is shown a red card for fouling Oscar . The Chelsea players swarm around the referee with team-mate Oscar lying injured on the floor . Ibrahimovic is clearly dejected having been sent off after a collision with Oscar in the first-half . Sky Sports pundit Jamie Carragher labelled Chelsea players a 'disgrace' for their reaction to Ibrahimovic . The 33-year-old seemed apologetic as soon as he realised the impact of his challenge before the Chelsea players swarmed the referee demanding action. 'It was very unfortunate, it’s not a red card. I actually think he’s trying to pull his foot away. You look at it and you think Oscar’s foot is as high, if not higher,' Carragher said on Sky Sports. ‘If the referee is the other side then the referee might look at Oscar and give the decision the other way.' Carragher insisted the actions from the Chelsea players were the deciding factor in the dismissal. Jamie Carragher (left) and Graeme Souness (second right) slammed the behaviour of the Chelsea players . The 33-year-old heads into this challenge with Oscar (left) in the first-half which got him sent off . 'The reaction from the Chelsea players is disgraceful. It’s something that is sad that is coming into the game. It comes from I think Jose Mourinho’s teams, they have this reaction, it’s not a one off,' added Carragher. Souness branded the actions of Chelsea's squad 'pathetic'. He said: 'In Jamie’s (Carragher) generation, when someone caught you, the last thing you wanted to show your opponent is that you’re injured, today it’s the exact opposite. If someone brushes you, you want to go down and get them in trouble. That’s how pathetic it is. 'Thank goodness PSG stood up to that and leave here with great credit. They are the proper team.' Former Manchester United captain Neville disagreed with his colleagues. He said: ‘Listening to the lads at half-time, I’m not as damning about Chelsea reacting because partly times it happened during my career when you tried to influence the referee. But for far too many times you’ve seen naive English teams in Europe, that have been done on occasions like that. The PSG forward immediately acknowledged his fault in the incident having collided with Oscar . ‘Here, we’ve got a team that is shrewd. People at home might not like it but if the boot was on the other foot we’d be calling PSG shrewd. They play the game, that’s what you need to do in European competition over the last 20, 30 years. It’s different trying to gain those advantages. ‘I like the idea that it’s an English team that is shrewd and not the opposition. It comes from Mourinho, he knows how to play the game.’ However, Neville did acknowledge it was a harsh decision on Ibrahimovic: 'It's not a red card for me, I think that's a poor decision from the referee. He must have got his red card out within two or three seconds.' Chelsea captain John Terry (left) reacts after Ibrahimovic's tackle on Oscar in the first-half at Stamford Bridge . At half-time, Carragher had also suggested that such intimidation comes from their manager Mourinho: 'I always think with Mourinho’s teams that they will always be respected but they’ll never be loved because of situations like this. 'They take winning to another level that no other team or manager does that I’ve seen over the years.' Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho gestures his dissatisfaction as his side crashed out of the Champions League . 'We all want to win but the reaction of the Chelsea players has definitely played a part and Jose Mourinho’s words in the press conference have worked.' Mourinho, in his post-match interview after his side were beaten on away goals, bemoaned PSG’s apparent time wasting but Carragher dismissed such claims as hypocrisy. ‘Mourinho is the master of time wasting and he did that from the first two minutes at Anfield last year (when Chelsea all but ended Liverpool’s title hopes),' he said. 'I’m not criticising him, I applauded him at the time and I know it’s part of the game, but he can’t complain about PSG and that English football is clean as the only dirty tricks we saw were from Chelsea by surrounding the referee and the reaction was disgraceful.’ The striker is consoled by PSG boss Laurent Blanc as he trudges off the pitch at Stamford Bridge . Carragher also questioned the quality of the Premier League after Chelsea crashed out: 'As a football person you want to see the best teams go through, we want the English teams to do well, to go through and represent our country,' he said at full-time. 'You think of the TV deal, the money we’ve got, we’re getting kidded. You see some of the players PSG have got. Now they’ve paid big money as well but you look at Arsenal, Man City. We’re supposed to be the biggest league in the world, with the best players. We are miles away.' Former Chelsea defender David Luiz jumps into the air in celebration having fired PSG back into the tie . Sky Sports pundit Graeme Souness branded the Chelsea players 'pathetic' for their antics on Wednesday . In the Sky studio at full-time Souness was keen to highlight Chelsea's behaviour was 'unacceptable' and was full of praise for the Parisians: . 'It hurts me to say this but Chelsea earlier with their shenanigans early on, with the manager coming out with his talk that this is the most aggressive team we’ve ever played. Saying they are over physical, Mourinho is having a laugh,' Souness told Sky Sports. 'This is a team that is full of technique, a really good footballing team. They had to put up with a lot of stuff I find really unappealing. The Chelsea players are stunned as they were knocked out of the Champions League on Wednesday . 'That is from other players, the minute they come out of the tunnel, the first minute of the game, they are looking to get the opposition in trouble, get them booked, see if they can get them sent off. The reaction from the Chelsea players on the challenge on Oscar opitimises what I’m saying,' added Souness. 'To a man they were surrounding the referee, even Costa ran 50 yards to get involved. Oscar originally wasn’t going to get involved and then you can see in the pictures that as soon as his team-mates all raising their arms around the referee, then he gets involved. 'That’s something we can deal without, It’s not the British way of doing things and it is creeping into our game which I find it totally unacceptable.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Nigerians are scheduled to head to the polls this Saturday in what will be the most closely watched elections in Africa this year. The poll will test the strength of an electoral process that has been marred by violence and flawed results throughout the country's short democratic history. The stakes are high, and there is a very real danger of prolonged violence across the country if the electorate questions the legitimacy of the outcome. The conduct of the elections will have long lasting repercussions on both Nigerians and the U.S.-Nigeria relationship. Against the backdrop of these elections is the ongoing threat and destabilization caused by Boko Haram, a group that has killed more than 10,000 people in northeastern Nigeria during its five-year campaign of terror, and kidnapped hundreds more, including young girls. These actions have shocked and horrified Americans. What many Americans may not recognize is how important the relationship with Nigeria is for the United States. We have economic and security interests that are at stake in this election, especially as Nigeria has been one of our strongest allies in the region since military rule there ended. In the last decade, the U.S. has trained and equipped thousands of Nigerian soldiers who have participated in peacekeeping missions in Mali, Cote d'Ivoire and Liberia, helping bring a measure of peace and stability to nations in the West Africa region. But now we need Nigeria to be a front-line ally against terrorism, particularly as Boko Haram pledges fidelity to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Meanwhile, Nigeria also has the largest economy in Africa and has the continent's largest population. Indeed, it has been identified as one in the next set of prominent emerging economies, making it a tantalizing target for U.S. private investment. It is also Africa's No. 1 oil producer, although an increasingly diversified economy -- for example in the agriculture sector -- provides a myriad of opportunities for more robust trade with the United States. Ultimately, a stable Nigeria will mean real economic opportunities for Americans -- a win-win proposition. Yet despite this potential, the uncertain electoral environment and other serious challenges stand in the way of a deeper bond. The reality is that endemic corruption remains an obstacle to more cooperation, especially when you consider the Nigerian military's poor performance fighting Boko Haram, despite security spending reportedly being around $6 billion last year -- clearly, much of the money meant for the military is not being spent on salaries, equipment or materiel. Similarly, weak governance remains an impediment to Nigeria's progress and enhanced ties with the United States. Nearly 70% of those in areas in the north live in absolute poverty, according to recent data, as compared to about 50% in southern areas of the country. Such failure on the part of the government to address poverty and inequality facilitates Boko Haram's recruitment effort and foments internal instability. The Nigerian people clearly believe that these issues must be addressed. According to an Afrobarometer survey released in January, 74% of Nigerian citizens said that their country is going "in the wrong direction." Half of Nigerians surveyed expressed significant concern about political intimidation or violence in the current election environment. If the Nigerian leadership rises to the challenge of tackling these difficult issues, there is nothing standing in the way of even closer ties between our two countries. But it is not just about the leadership -- this election offers the chance for all Nigerians to choose their future, and decide which policies will shape the next four years. Their example, for better or worse, will be watched -- and perhaps even replicated by other African states. The decisions made in the coming days and weeks will shape U.S.-Nigeria relations for years to come. But more importantly, they will determine the future for Nigeria's people. The world is watching Nigeria's historic choice with great expectation and even greater hope. | Robert Menendez: Nigerian vote will test the democracy's electoral process, marred by violence and flawed results in past . U.S. ties to this regional ally are crucial; U.S. economic and security interests at stake as Nigeria's voters choose their future . |
How did Draymond Green's minutes increase over time? | Green was selected with the 35th overall pick in the 2012 NBA draft by the Golden State Warriors. On July 30, 2012, he signed a three-year, $2.6 million contract with the Warriors. In his NBA debut in the Warriors' season opener on October 31 against the Phoenix Suns, Green played one minute, made one defensive rebound, and committed one foul. Green gradually received more playing time in subsequent games, especially in the wake of injuries to Brandon Rush and Richard Jefferson. After getting only marginal floor time at the beginning of the season, by November 22, Green was playing 15–20 minutes per game, and by December 9, as Green gained a bigger role on the team, the Warriors had won 8 of 10 games. On December 12, Green made the winning layup with 0.9 seconds left in the Warriors' 97–95 win over the defending champion Miami Heat. | In his NBA debut in the Warriors' season opener on October 31, 2012, against the Phoenix Suns, Green played one minute.

The corpses, some of them beheaded, were found in a shallow mass grave under a bridge just outside the Nigerian town of Damasak, near the border with Niger, the sources said. Troops from Niger and Chad took back the town from Boko Haram last week during a joint operation, the security sources said. Damasak is in Borno, one of several northern states inhabited by the Islamist militant group. Borno is in the northeast corner of Nigeria and borders Niger, Chad and Cameroon. Boko Haram has terrorized northern Nigeria regularly since 2009, attacking police, schools, churches, mosques and civilians. It has kidnapped students, including more than 200 schoolgirls who were abducted in April 2014 and remain missing. The group, its naming meaning "Western education is forbidden," has said its aim is to impose a stricter form of Sharia law across Nigeria. Journalist Aminu Abubakar reported from Kano, Nigeria.

The Red Devils will top the group by beating Israel in Jerusalem on Tuesday but Wales held Belgium in Brussels in November and Ramsey believes they can upset them again in the return fixture at the Cardiff City Stadium. 'We'll be looking forward to Belgium,' Ramsey said after opening the scoring against Israel with his ninth international goal. 'It's a tough game but we are full of confidence at the moment. We are top of the group, so why can't we win the game?' Arsenal midfielder Ramsey revealed his goal celebration when he pointed to the heavens was in honour of his grandmother who died last weekend. 'My nan passed away on the weekend, that's why it's been quite tough,' Ramsey said. Ramsey (right) points to the heavens in honour of his grandmother who died last weekend .

'Every time he comes away with Wales he puts on a performance. He got two goals himself and an assist, it was a good job for him.' Ramsey hailed his Welsh team-mate Gareth Bale as 'unbelievable' following his two-goal performance . Bale uploaded this picture to Instagram afterwards with the caption 'what a performance from the lads' Wales now have 11 points from five games and manager Chris Coleman believes 20 will prove enough to claim one of the two automatic qualifying spots on offer. 'You've got to be really unlucky if you get to 20 and you don't get to the first top two,' Coleman said. 'We've done some good work and we're on the right road but there's some distance left.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | An Ohio couple charged with imprisoning three of their adopted children - two girls and a boy - for 22 hours a day and abusing them have pleaded not guilty, in a case that began after the girls managed to escape the 'house of horrors' and crashed the family van. The 58-year-old adopted father is charged with sexually abusing the two girls, who were 11 and 13 at the time of the alleged ordeal. He and his 64-year-old wife are both charged with kidnapping, felonious assault and endangering children in Ashtabula County, about 50 miles east of Cleveland. The suspects are not being named, in order to protect the identities of the victims. Abuse: Between September 2011 and September 2013, two juvenile girls and a mentally handicapped adult male were locked in their bedrooms 'virtually all day every day' and abused, prosecutors say. Their adoptive parents - who are not being identified - plead not guilty Wednesday to a variety of charges . County Prosecutor Nicholas Iarocci said the couple also abused and neglected their adopted son, now 21, who is mentally disabled. Iarocci said Wednesday that the couple 'repeatedly and harshly' beat the girls and older son with a paddle that police found to be stained with blood. The three victims were given little to eat and were malnourished, Iarocci said. He called living conditions inside the home 'deplorable.' The victims were typically allowed out of their rooms for two hours a day for school lessons, to eat and to use the bathroom, Iarocci said. They were not allowed to socialize with other children in recent years, he said. Iarocci could not explain why a younger adopted son, now 13, was not abused. Indictments allege the abuse occurred over a two-year period starting in September 2011. The investigation began after the two girls managed to pick the lock on their shared bedroom - the windows of which were boarded up - and escape in August 2013, speeding away in the van before getting into an accident, Iarocci said. After telling responding officers that they feared going home, the girls reluctantly revealed their squalid living conditions. The sisters did not mention the alleged abuse until after they were charged in the accident, and then they told their probation officer, according to the prosecutor. 'To be honest with you, as these children told me the story, it was hard to hold back some of the tears,' Iarocci told Fox 8 Cleveland. House of horrors: Two girls and an adopted boy were locked up in bedrooms in the couple's home, pictured, and the abuse only emerged after the girls escaped and stole the parents' car - but later crashed . Buckets and a metal container were left in the bedrooms for them to use as a bathroom when they were locked away, he said. The three children and the man were removed from the home and placed in foster care a month after the crash. The couple adopted six children about 11 years ago but the abuse began only after two older boys left the family home after turning 18, Iarocci said. We can't explain why these people did what they did and when it started,' Larocci said. The abuse inflicted psychological damage on the girls, but they and their older adopted brother have thrived in foster care, Iarocci said. 'They're almost different children,' he said, adding that the girls are being adopted by another family. An attorney for the husband declined to comment on Wednesday. The wife is expected to be assigned an attorney in the next few days. Each are being held on $50,000 bail. Horrific: County prosecutor Nicholas Iarocci, pictured, said he cried when the girls detailed their abuse and he believes the system failed when they put the children in the couple's home . The children had been previously placed in the couple's home by Ashtabula County Children Services following background checks - but Iarocci said he didn't know how it had happened. 'I can't explain how these children ultimately were adopted by them - how they were originally fostered by these folks,' he told Fox 8. 'I think it's a failure of our system. Our system was broke. For any child to be placed in the custody or care of [the accused] was a terrible mistake.' | Father, 58, of Ashtabula County, pleaded not guilty to sexual abuse .

Djoko Hariutomo, the police chief of the Balinese capital of Denpasar placed his hand on Andrew Chan's shoulder and smiled for the camera, and then appeared in a second photograph with his hand on the shoulder of Sukumaran who was captured gazing up at the officer. The Bali Nine duo were then taken on a two hour flight to the port town of Cilacap and transferred to Nusakambangan island where they are expected to face a firing squad in an area known locally as 'Death Valley', a lush green clearing amid citrus orchards and banana palms. The spot is called Nirbaya, and it's located in a high spot amid the dense vegetation which runs along the spine of Nusakambangan, which is also known as 'Death Island', and it is the place where just under seven weeks ago the Indonesian Government executed five drug smugglers. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO .

Last place on earth: This is Nirbaya, also known as 'Death Valley', the place where Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran will likely be taken for their executions and located up a winding dirt track around 3km from the prison where they are being held in isolation cells . This is the spot to which the Indonesians took five foreign drug smugglers this year, tied them to three metre poles and executed them each with 12-member firing squads at around 12.40am local time on Sunday, January 18 . It is not known how the prisoners destined for execution will be transported to Nirbaya valley, as it lies down a narrow dirt track (above) amid dense vegetation in the middle of Nusakambangan Island off southern central Java . This weather beaten hut in Nirbaya or Death Valley sits near the sport where foreign drug smugglers were executed in January and where the Australian Bali Nine duo may be taken soon and put to the firing squad . Final journey: The jungle and rainforest of Nuskambangan prison island looms over the Barracuda armoured personnel van carrying Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran as they arrive off the police boat on Wednesday following their final plane flight, from Bali to Cilacap in southern Java . And this place, up a winding dirt track just 3km from where Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran are being held in isolation cells, is likely to soon be their last place on earth. Situated quite high up amid hills in the island's centre, Nirbaya was also the place where the Bali bombers, Amrozi, Ali Gufron and Imam Samudra were executed in 2008, six years after they carried out the nightclub bombings which killed 202 people, including 88 Australians, 38 Indonesians and 27 Britons. At the top of the hills surrounding Nirbaya, it is reportedly quite windy but offers a view of the Indian Ocean to the south. At around 12.40am on January 18 this year, five drug traffickers were reportedly shot by firing squads in or around this place. Shackled and handcuffed, Andrew Chan cut a sad figure as he was escorted by four faceless Indonesian police officers across the tarmac after being taken from Korobokan prison in Bali to their final destination, Death Island . Utter despair is etched on the face of condemned prisoner, Myuran Sukumaran, as he arrived at Cilacap airport in central Java, Indonesia, only 700km by plane but a world away from the comparative freedom of his art workshops inside Kerobokan prison on the island of Bali . This is the exterior of Batu prison on Nuskambangan island where special isolation cells away from non death row prisoners were prepared to hold Australians Andrew Chan and Myuran Sukumaran ahead of their scheduled execution by firing squad . Indonesia executed a total of six drug traffickers on January 18, but Vienamese woman Tran Thi Bich Hanh met her fate on the mainland of central java at a place called Boyolali. The five executed at Nirbaya on Nuskambangan were Brazilian Marco Archer Moreiea, 53, who smuggled 13kg of coaine in hangliding equipment to Bali in 2004, Dutch national Ang Kiem Soei, who ran an Ecstasy factory, Namaona Denis, 48, Indonesian woman, Rani Andriani, 38, and Nigerian Daniel Enemuo, 38, a Muslim who elected to be buried on the island. The lead up to execution in 'Death Valley' has been well documented. Under the implementation of death penalty procedures set in Indonesia's criminal act of 1964, the condemned prisoner is informed in their isolation cell at least 72 hours prior to the execution that it will be carried out. They are reportedly allowed three 'last requests' but these may only be in the form of final statements, such as that from Ms Andriani who wrote, 'Submission does not mean give up. Do the best, God will finish the rest'. Channel One Indonesia took a camera to Nirbaya (above) on Nusakambangan pirson island prior to the first round of executions which took place in January and completed death sentences for one Indonesian woman and four men from Brazil, Nigeria, Malawi and the Netherlands . Port of no return: Sodong port (above) on Nusakambangan Island was the dropping off point on Wednesday for the Australian Bali Nine duo before being taken by road on to the prison where they are currently being held in isolation . Dressed in simple, white clothing, they are accompanied by a physician, clergy and an 'execution attorney' and taken to the clearing where a firing squad of 12 shooters is assembled for each prisoner. In the case of Nirbaya, the journey will be up a steep winding dirt track through trees and undergrowth. At a clearing, three metre high execution poles have been erected at separate spots for each prisoner. When the prisoners arrive and the firing squad is ready, the condemned person is asked whether they choose to be blindfolded and whether they want to be standing, sitting or kneeling for their execution. A black cross is marked over their heart and they are given three minutes to 'calm down' before the execution takes place. Although a clergyman of the prisoner's choice is meant to be allowed to take their last rites, Brazilian Marco Archer was reportedly denied access to Cilacap's Catholic priest Charles Burrows and was so stressed in his last hours he said that he wanted to die sooner, but eventually had to be dragged bodily from his cell for transport to Nirbaya. | The likely place on the island for the Bali 9 duo's execution is called Nirbaya .

Give me a summary of the early history of snowboarding | Modern snowboarding was pioneered by Tom Sims and Jake Burton Carpenter, who both contributed significant innovations and started influential companies. In February 1968, Poppen organized the first snurfing competition at a Michigan ski resort that attracted enthusiasts from all over the country. One of those early pioneers was Tom Sims, a devotee of skateboarding (a sport born in the 1950s when kids attached roller skate wheels to small boards that they steered by shifting their weight).

Given this summarized version of the Legend of the Christmas Spider, what turned the spider webs into precious metals? | A poor but hardworking widow once lived in a small hut with her children. One summer day, a pine cone fell on the earthen floor of the hut and took root. The widow's children cared for the tree, excited at the prospect of having a Christmas tree by winter. The tree grew, but when Christmas Eve arrived, they could not afford to decorate it. The children sadly went to bed and fell asleep. Early the next morning, they woke up and saw the tree covered with cobwebs. When they opened the windows, the first rays of sunlight touched the webs and turned them into gold and silver. The widow and her children were overjoyed. From then on, they never lived in poverty again. | The first rays of sunlight, after touching the webs, turned them into gold and silver. |

Last year, Shake It Off went to No.1 on the iTunes chart in 64 different countries and in January, she sold the four millionth copy of 1989 in the US alone. The new success had coincided with a new Taylor - one who had cut off her long blonde hair into a sophisticated bob, moved to New York and developed a close-knit group of female friends who she frequently hosts dinner parties for at her Tribeca apartment. Perhaps most crucially though, 2014 also marked the year that Taylor Swift was a singleton. Taylor with with the supermodel Cara Delevingne . Taylor with the singer Lorde (left) and Ellie Goulding (right) Since she was 16, Taylor has had a slew of celebrity boyfriends that have all ended in heartbreak. It would be hard not to be aware of her failed romances, given the coverage they have received both in her music and in the news. In her teens, she dated heartthrobs Taylor Lautner and Joe Jonas, before moving on to the likes of Jake Gyllenhaal and John Mayer. There was a brief romance with Conor Kennedy before what has now become her most famous relationship - Harry Styles. Taylor Swift with ex-boyfriend Joe Jonas, who she dated in 2008 . Taylor Swift with Taylor Lautner, who she dated in 2009 . But her dalliance with the One Direction star was enough to put Taylor off men and since her break-up with the singer in January 2013, she has focused on living a single life. She told The Telegraph on Saturday: 'The thing about my girlfriends right now is that none of them needs me for anything other than friendship - I love the fact that they are all passionate about their jobs, whatever their jobs are.' 'I used to think it was important to find a boyfriend, but I don't feel that it is now.' In doing this, the tide has turned for Taylor in terms of public opinion - up until last year, many derided the star for being boy crazy and acting like a crazed bunny boiler. The reputation for being a man hunter also unfairly affected people's opinions about her professional success, which has been almost unprecedented for a singer/songwriter of her age. Taylor with Jake Gyllenhaal (left), who she dated in 2010 and Conor Kennedy, who she dated in 2012 . Taylor with Harry Styles in December 2012 in New York . But with 1989, a new Taylor emerged - the songs were no longer about men and more about her relationships with her peers and the public. Shake It Off was a brilliant two fingers up to the 'haters' who had been criticising her for so long simply for having boyfriends. Taylor's move to New York from Nashville also coincided with a chic new style. For the last 12 months, the star has consistently been photographed on the world's best dressed lists and she even holds her own when out partying with her gaggle of supermodel friends like Karlie Kloss.

Given this paragraph, who was the first person to run the Western States 100 in under 24 hours? | The Western States Trail Ride was first completed on foot by seven soldiers from Fort Riley, Kansas during the 1972 event, proving that the mountain course could be marched in less than two days. In 1974 Gordy Ainsleigh was the first to run it in under 24 hours. Ainsleigh had finished the Western States Trail Ride (Tevis Cup) in 1971 and 1972 on horseback, but in 1973 his new horse was pulled with lameness at the 29-mile checkpoint. In 1974, with the inspiration and encouragement of Drucilla Barner, the first woman to win the Tevis Cup and Secretary of the Western States Trail Foundation, Gordy joined the horses of the Western States Trail Ride to see if he could complete the course on foot in under 24 hours. Twenty-three hours and forty-two minutes later Gordy arrived in Auburn, proving that a runner could cover the Western States trail in a day. However, he did not run 100 miles. The course was at most 89 miles until 1980 when it was extended to 93.5 miles and in 1985 finally to 100 miles. Running 100 miles in a day was nothing new. About 1,000 runners worldwide had run or walked 100 miles in a day prior to 1974 on tracks, roads, and trails. | In 1974 Gordy Ainsleigh was the first to run it in under 24 hours. |
From the given passage, write down some interesting points on butterflies | Butterflies (Rhopalocera) are insects that have large, often brightly coloured wings, and a conspicuous, fluttering flight. The group comprises the superfamilies Hedyloidea (moth-butterflies in the Americas) and Papilionoidea. Butterfly fossils date to the Paleocene, about 56 million years ago.
Butterflies have a four-stage life cycle, as like most insects they undergo complete metamorphosis. Winged adults lay eggs on the food plant on which their larvae, known as caterpillars, will feed. The caterpillars grow, sometimes very rapidly, and when fully developed, pupate in a chrysalis. When metamorphosis is complete, the pupal skin splits, the adult insect climbs out, and after its wings have expanded and dried, it flies off. Some butterflies, especially in the tropics, have several generations in a year, while others have a single generation, and a few in cold locations may take several years to pass through their entire life cycle. | 1. Butterflies (Rhopalocera) are insects that have large, frequently vividly coloured wings and prominent, fluttering flight patterns.
2. The superfamilies Hedyloidea (moth-butterflies in the Americas) and Papilionoidea make up the group.
3. Around 56 million years ago, during the Paleocene, butterflies first appeared.
4. Butterflies go through a full metamorphosis, like other insects, and have a four-stage life cycle.
5. Winged adults lay their eggs on the food plant that their caterpillar-like larvae will consume.
6. The caterpillars mature, sometimes very quickly, then pupate in chrysalises once completely grown.
7. After transformation is complete, the adult insect crawls out of the pupal skin and dries its wings before taking flight.
8. Some butterflies, especially those that live in tropical climates, have multiple generations every year, while others only have one. Some butterflies that live in frigid climates may take several years to complete their whole life cycle. |

Third-placed Mark Schwarzer left Chelsea for Leicester City on a free transfer in January as cover for the injured Kasper Schmeichel, whose dad Peter sits ninth in the list. Yet Schwarzer is running out of time to close in on Cech with the 42-year-old - the oldest player to feature in the Premier League this season - set to be relegated as Leicester sit bottom. Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard, having conceded five against Dynamo Kiev during their Europa League exit on Thursday, will look to move up the list before the 36-year-old retires. As for Hart, the man that thwarted Barcelona's Lionel Messi in the Champions League last week, he will now chase Thomas Sorensen and Jussi Jaaskelainen on 107 and 108 respectively. He will next be able to do so against Crystal Palace on April 6 after the international break with England.

According to the passage, mention some of Taylor’s early albums. | Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Her genre-spanning discography, songwriting abilities and artistic reinventions have received critical praise and wide media coverage. Born in West Reading, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville at age 14 to become a country artist. She signed a songwriting deal with Sony/ATV Music Publishing in 2004 and a recording contract with Big Machine Records in 2005. Her 2006 self-titled debut album made her the first female country artist to write a U.S. platinum-certified album.
Swift's next albums, Fearless (2008) and Speak Now (2010), explored country pop. The former's "Love Story" and "You Belong with Me" were the first country songs to top the U.S. pop and all-genre airplay charts, respectively. She experimented with rock and electronic styles on Red (2012), which featured her first Billboard Hot 100 number-one song, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", and eschewed her country image in her synth-pop album, 1989 (2014), supported by chart-topping songs "Shake It Off", "Blank Space", and "Bad Blood". Media scrutiny inspired the urban-flavored Reputation (2017) and its number-one single "Look What You Made Me Do".
Exiting Big Machine, Swift signed with Republic Records in 2018 and released her seventh studio album, Lover (2019), followed by the autobiographical documentary Miss Americana (2020). She ventured into indie folk and alternative rock in her 2020 albums Folklore and Evermore, whose singles "Cardigan" and "Willow" topped the Hot 100. Swift began re-recording her first six albums after a dispute over their masters, re-releasing two in 2021—Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version). The latter's "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" became the longest song to top the Hot 100. Her 2022 album Midnights and single "Anti-Hero" broke all-time streaming records. Swift has directed music videos and films, such as All Too Well: The Short Film (2021), and played supporting roles in others.
Having sold over 200 million records globally, Swift is one of the best-selling musicians in history. She is the most streamed woman on Spotify and the only act to have five albums open with over one million copies sold in the US. Among her accolades are 12 Grammy Awards, including three Album of the Year wins; an Emmy Award; 40 American Music Awards; 29 Billboard Music Awards; three IFPI Global Recording Artist of the Year awards; and 92 Guinness World Records. Swift has been featured in rankings such as Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time, Billboard's Greatest of All Time Artists, the Time 100 and Forbes Celebrity 100. Honored with titles such as Artist of the Decade and Woman of the Decade, Swift is an advocate for artists' rights and women's empowerment. Her music is credited with influencing a generation of singers and songwriters. | Taylor had the following early career albums:
1.“Taylor Swift” (2006 self-titled debut album)
2.”Fearless” (2008)
3.”Speak Now” (2010) |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)It may not provide the answer to life, the universe and everything, but when the Large Hadron Collider at Geneva's CERN starts up again this month, particle physicists are planning to give this question their best shot. Having finally nailed down the elusive Higgs boson particle in 2013 -- the elementary particle that has unlocked some of the universe's longest-standing secrets -- physicists are now on the trail of dark matter. And with the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) -- the 27km (17 mile) circumference particle accelerator that occupies a tunnel on the Franco-Swiss border -- now tricked out with new magnets, more powerful energy beams and a tighter vacuum, scientists are hoping to shine a light on some of the universe's more arcane phenomena. "Higgs was the final piece of the jigsaw of what we call the Standard Model of particle physics," Dr Mike Lamont, operations group leader at the facility, told CNN. "But we know that this model is not complete." "One of the big things we know is out there -- but we don't yet understand -- is dark matter. "There's a lot of astronomical observations to support the fact that this stuff exists, so this is one thing that we might hope shows up." Dark matter is currently a hypothesis. It is a type of matter that can't be seen but whose presence can be inferred from its gravitational effects on visible matter, radiation and even the very structure of the universe. Physicists believe this unseen material makes up about 85 percent of all the matter in the universe. Regular matter, which we are made of along with all the stars, planets and other tangible cosmic material, accounts for just around 4 percent of the mass-energy of the known universe. In other words, the vast majority of what constitutes reality still eludes us. Particle physicists will no doubt be on the edge of their seats when the new souped-up collider is put through its paces this month, although it can take months for the data to be processed. "There are a number of theories that give you dark matter candidates -- one of the favourites is supersymmetry," Lamont said, adding that the team got no sign of it at all in the facility's first three-year run. "What the physicists are hoping is that with the step up in energy we will be able to explore a bit more of parameter space and that something dramatically new will show up. "If it does, it's Nobel prizes all around; it really will be a major breakthrough. If it's not, then it's back to the drawing board." The increased energy of the new collider will be key to the new studies. The energy of collisions in the LHC in 2015 will be 13 TeV (teraelectron volt) compared with 8 TeV in 2012 during its last run. While the facility is a big industrial user of power -- about 180MW when it's running at full tilt -- it's not quite powerful enough to dim the lights or send the air-conditioning down in surrounding areas. "We have a dial that tells us how much energy we're using - it would be equivalent to about 10% of the total power in the Geneva canton," Lamont said. But anyone expecting a "Bride of Frankenstein" scenario of flashing lights and crackling electrical discharges is going to be disappointed. According to Lamont, while the machine is tremendously powerful, it operates within a vacuum, making it relatively quiet. "The beam itself does hum, we can hear it oscillating, but the collision energy between one proton and another -- while it's a huge amount of energy for a proton -- is like a house fly hitting another house fly at 5 miles per hour. "The beam, however, does have a huge amount of energy and we have to be very careful with it." He said the proton beam is launched at a tangent to the ring and when the energy of the beam needs to be absorbed, they use a graphite block to damp it. "Now that really does give a good bang," Lamont said. "We had microphones down there and this you could hear." While there are billions of protons per package sent hurtling through the collider at a rate of 11,000 times per second, only 20 or 30 protons per package will actually collide to produce an effect that can be studied. Scientist must monitor equipment that registers hundreds of millions of collisions per second typically over 12-hour periods. "The experiments need this because the interesting stuff like the Higgs is extremely rare. Only very rarely do these collisions produce something interesting and this is the big challenge for us -- to trigger the interesting stuff," he said. The Higgs may have gone a long way to answering the questions thrown up by the Standard Model, but Lamont says there will still be plenty of good physics to be examined by what is effectively the world's biggest machine. "We're planning a major upgrade in 2023-25 -- there'll be new more powerful focusing magnets installed and some other upgrades and this will allow us to multiply by five the number of collisions we can deliver. "That program is planned out until 2035 ... there are some interesting milestones coming up." He remains sanguine, however, about the possibility that after weeks of collisions and months and sometimes years of study, scientists and researchers may have actually moved further away from answering the mysteries and paradoxes of particle physics beyond the Standard Model. "Maybe the universe is a bit simpler than we think it is," Lamont said. Read more from Make, Create, Innovate: .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Los Angeles (CNN)Federal agents on Tuesday raided more than three dozen "maternity hotels" in Southern California where foreign women give birth, allegedly for the sole purpose of having a U.S.-citizen baby, authorities said. The "maternity tourism" sites included apartment complexes in Los Angeles, Orange and San Bernardino counties where authorities believe the businesses housed the foreign nationals about to give birth, federal officials said. Those targeted residences are believed to have catered largely to women from China, who paid $15,000 to $50,000 for lodging, transportation and food, according to a statement by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Those fees don't necessarily include medical care, authorities said. Authorities are looking for evidence of bringing in and harboring of undocumented visitors; conspiracy, fraud and misuse of visas and permits; tax evasion and false tax returns; and willful failure to file report of foreign bank and financial accounts, court papers said. "Based on the results of the investigations to date, it appears the women pay cash for prenatal visits and the actual delivery," U.S. authorities said. "As part of the package, clients were promised they would receive Social Security numbers and U.S. passports for their infants, which the mothers would take with them when they left the U.S." Some of the packages included recreational trips to Disneyland, shopping malls and even to a firing range, authorities said. "Any women encountered at the search locations will be interviewed and those identified as potential material witnesses will be directed when and where to report for further questioning," authorities said Tuesday. Investigators weren't expected Tuesday to comment further on the outcome of the raids, said ICE spokeswoman Virginia Kice. In all, authorities obtained warrants for 37 locations and ended up searching more than 50 sites, including consensual searches, Kice said. The purported tourism businesses promoted themselves on the Internet and through social media, authorities said. One firm in Rancho Cucamonga, California, advertised in Chinese and branded itself as "You Win USA Vacation Resort." Operators of that firm couldn't be immediately reached for comment Tuesday. Chinese women have been flocking to the United States to give birth, lured because the country grants American citizenship to anyone born on U.S. soil, CNN Money reported last month. That CNN Money account was cited in an affidavit filed Monday in a federal California court by Homeland Security Investigation agent Eric Blair, who asked a judge for a warrant to search Rancho Cucamonga apartment buildings for large sums of cash and evidence of contraband and a crime. The judge granted the warrant. Read one affidavit . "Perpetrators of visa fraud schemes typically charge $40,000 to $60,000, which is a fee able to be paid by the wealthy in China," Blair stated in court papers. In 2012, about 10,000 Chinese women gave birth in the United States, more than double the 4,200 in 2008, according to Chinese state media. Blair alleged that the birthing houses "will generally advise foreign national clients to fly to tourism points of entry such as Hawaii or Las Vegas and to avoid traveling directly to Los Angeles International Airport. This advice is due to heightened security by (U.S. Customs and Border Protection) officials at LAX based on the volume of fraudulent visas and false statements and entry documents that CPB officials have experienced over the last decade related to birth tourism." One operator of the alleged maternity tourism schemes in California was providing bank statements claiming he had monthly gross receipts of $213,968.79 and an annual income of $1,283,812.74, Blair said in court papers. Those bank statements were provided by an Internal Revenue Service special agent, Blair said. Many of the families want an American child because a foreign passport could be the family's ticket out of China if they grow weary of pollution or food safety scares. President Xi Jinping's widespread anti-corruption campaign has given rich Chinese yet another reason to be on edge. "If things become economically or politically uncertain in one's country of origin, the children have a place to come to," Leti Volpp, a law professor at the University of California, Berkeley, told CNN Money last month. The children can "then sponsor their parents when they turn 21," Volpp said. The desire to leave China is especially pronounced among the wealthy. Almost two-thirds of Chinese with more than 10 million yuan ($1.6 million) in the bank have emigrated, or are planning to, according to a Hurun report released last year. One advertisement for a Hacienda Heights location "claims that the apartments are extremely suitable for expectant mothers and their accompanying families," Blair said in court documents. "The apartment will allow expectant mothers to experience the American lifestyle during their stay." In an interview with CNN Money in February, Felicia He, 27, said she paid tens of thousands of dollars to give birth in California. That interview occurred well before Tuesday's federal announcement of raids. "I started getting ready for the trip around the end of my first trimester," He said. "I asked my friends who have given birth before in the U.S. for a doctor recommendation; then I found a place to stay in the area for a few months, and purchased my plane ticket." He, who gave birth last year, said a U.S. passport for her baby means access to better education opportunities. Foreign status opens the door to exclusive international schools in Beijing, where she lives with her husband, and the option for the child to study abroad for high school and college. There is one catch, though. Getting a U.S. passport for a baby means the child will eventually be responsible for U.S. taxes.

What are the most common food allergies? | Allergic reactions are abnormal immune responses that develop after exposure to a given food allergen. Food allergens account for about 90% of all allergic reactions. The most common food allergens include milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat, which are referred to as "the big eight". In April of 2021, President Joe Biden signed the FASTER Act into law. This landmark food allergy law recognizes sesame as the ninth mandatory food label allergen. It also encourages research that will improve the quality of life for food allergy families, and that could potentially lower the rates of future food allergies. | The most common allergies in humans are:

Is Hainanese chicken rice a national dish of Singapore or Malaysia? | Hainanese chicken rice is a dish of poached chicken and seasoned rice, served with chilli sauce and usually with cucumber garnishes. It was created by immigrants from Hainan in southern China and adapted from the Hainanese dish Wenchang chicken. It is considered one of the national dishes of Singapore and is most commonly associated with Singaporean cuisine, being widely available in most food courts and hawker centres around the country. Variants of the dish can also be seen throughout Southeast Asia, particularly in Malaysia and Thailand, where it remains a culinary staple. In a debate that stretches back decades to 1965, when the two countries split, Malaysia and Singapore have both laid claim to inventing the dish. In 2009, then Malaysian Tourism Minister Ng Yen Yen said that Hainanese chicken rice was "uniquely Malaysian" and had been "hijacked" by other countries. Ng later clarified that she was misquoted on her intention to patent the foods, and that a study on the origins of the foods would be conducted "and an apology conveyed if it was wrongly claimed." In 2018, then Malaysian Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng joked that Singapore claimed "chicken rice is theirs (and) if we’re not careful, ‘char koay teow‘ will become theirs" one day. The debate has been described as an example of gastronationalism. | The answer might differ depending on who is answering your question.

'He's clearly desperate and struggling to find anyone that he doesn't have to pay for a sex.' Kelly claims that Pereira tracked her down on Twitter after the team's Christmas party at the Neighbourhood bar in Manchester where she was invited to the VIP area to drink with the other players. In a series of WhatsApp messages, the midfielder allegedly asked if she wanted to meet with him and McNair before she responded questioning what he meant. The Belgian-born Brazilian messaged Kelly after meeting her at United's Christmas party in Manchester, saying 'Threesome. Will take care of u. U want? How much. Tell me.

Tell me. We were ready to pay 5each.' It remains to be seen whether Louis van Gaal will punish Pereira for his behaviour, with the starlet having embarrassed his manager in a week when he has been full of praise for the 19-year-old's class on the field. 'When you are 19 and already in the squad of Manchester United, then you must have a big talent otherwise you would not be in there,' Van Gaal said. 'I am very happy that I could give him his Premier League debut.' United's players met Kelly in the VIP area on a Christmas night out at the Neighbourhood bar in Manchester . United manager Louis van Gaal had high praise for Pereira's work on the pitch after Sunday's game . Pereira's agent Leo Scheinkman said: 'He is young and single and can have sex with whoever he wants. What does he have to apologise for?' Pereira is yet to sign a new contract at Old Trafford, with his current deal expiring in the summer and top clubs from around Europe ready to swoop. Juventus, who took former United youngster Paul Pogba on a free transfer from United in 2012, are said to be interested with French champions Paris Saint-Germain also keen. | Andreas Pereira made his Premier League debut for United against Spurs .

Top scorer Daryl Murphy gave the hosts a ninth-minute lead but Jonathan Douglas levelled 16 minutes later and that was where the scoring ended.

Both sides made a bright start and it lit up even more for the home side when they took the lead in the ninth minute when Murphy got his 22nd of the season after nine minutes. Richard Chaplow's deep corner was nodded towards goal by Christophe Berra and the league's leading marksman was on hand to cleverly poke the ball home off the inside of the post. Murphy almost grabbed his second when he took advantage of dithering from Liam Moore and David Button to take the ball away from the Brentford goalkeeper - but he could only find the side-netting from a near-impossible angle. The home side were on top with Jonathan Parr narrowly missing the far post with a fierce cross-cum-shot while, at the other end, Ipswich keeper Dean Gerken did well to hold Alex Pritchard's curling effort from the edge of the area. However, Brentford were level when Gerken did brilliantly to parry Stuart Dallas' volley but Douglas was on hand to head home the rebound.

Ipswich almost grabbed the lead just before the interval when a great breakaway saw Chaplow's shot well saved by Button, before Judge made a brave sliding block to deny Parr the rebound. The home side should have been ahead less than a minute after the restart when Parr broke into the box and perfectly crossed for Murphy who somehow slid the ball over the bar - and the gaping empty net - from five yards out.

Back came Brentford with Pritchard's free-kick well held by Gerken before Murphy missed another gilt-edged chance on 65 minutes when the striker raced clear but was denied by a brilliant save from the onrushing Button. Ipswich continued to create the better chances as the second half progressed, with Murphy's shot at Button lacking power and then sub Chris Wood heading wide under pressure.

Lacey Smarr of Longview, Texas, died on February 2 after starving her body of the important nutrients needed for her heart to function. Lacey's eating disorder had begun just months earlier during the eighth-grade when friends had teased her about her curvy physique. Lacey Smarr of Longview, Texas, died on February 2 after starving her body of the nutrients needed for her heart to function . 'They would tell her that her butt looked big in the volleyball shorts,' mom Candy Miller told News Journal. 'That's all it took for Lacey. She's just that kind of person that takes it seriously.' Candy says the girls loved Lacey and didn't mean any harm but from that moment on her daughter became fixated about her weight. To begin with Lacey made a concerted effort to eat healthy and exercise but soon her family started to notice unusual behaviour. When Lacey would go to the restroom she would lock herself in and turn on the water in the sink. 'I asked her about it, and she said she was locking the door because of her little brother and that she couldn't use the restroom without the water running,' Candy said. 'I bought it. I didn't question it.' Mom Candy Miller had asked doctors if her daughter had an eating disorder, but instead they diagnosed an ulcer and prescribed an antacid . As her daughter started to lose weight, her mother became worried. At one point, the teenager was taken to hospital after fainting and hitting her head. While there, nurses observed Lacey eat then throw up her food. Candy asked doctors if her daughter had an eating disorder, but instead they diagnosed an ulcer and prescribed an antacid. The doctors refered Lacey to psychiatrists and counselors, but they also told Candy Miller that they didn't believe her daughter had an eating disorder. 'I blamed myself in the beginning (after Lacey's death), but she fooled doctors,' Candy Miller said. From weighing 126 pounds at her last athletic physical in eighth grade, Lacey had dropped down to 88 pounds at the time of her death. From weighing 126 pounds at her last athletic physical in eighth grade, Lacey had dropped down to 88 pounds at the time of her death . On the day of her death, Lacey had returned home early from school after complaining of not feeling well. She was found unresponsive by her stepfather, who tried CPR and called for an ambulance. On her birthday Lacey had eaten several meals, but her mom now believes that Lacey had thrown the food up afterwards. 'She's a very smart girl,' said Candy. 'She knew how to hide it.' In honor of her daughter, Candy Miller is in the process of launching the Lacey Foundation. 'I feel like if we can save just one family from the grief we're going through and the pain, then my daughter didn't die in vain,' Miller said. The foundation will help raise awareness of the signs and symptoms of anorexia, bulimia and other eating disorders as well as offer resources to families in need. | Lacey Smarr of Longview, Texas, died on February 2 after starving her body of the nutrients needed for her heart to function .

In a scenario similar to that of the Frederick Forsyth novel, the trio men stole the identities of more than 200 dead British babies, before using their names to bombard the government with tax repayment applications. They also adopted the identities of sports personalities, including cricketers and rugby union stars, by scouring the internet for their personal details and cobbling together a fake profile. The three men also targeted thousands of members of the public as they attempted to swindle £1m, Southwark Crown Court was told. In total, the gang managed to pocket around £250,000, which was banked across hundreds of accounts which had been set up under false names. But the trio were rumbled early on by HMRC and did not pay out more than three-quarters of the money. When their homes were searched, investigators discovered the personal details of more than 200 dead children were stored on computers, the court heard. At the peak of the fraud, the thieves were using more than 20 internet cafes to register up to 301 new accounts a day. Pictured: Oluwakemi Adesaogun .

Today, Judge Stephen Robbins jailed Oyeneye for five and a half years, Omotunde for six years and Adesaogun for five years. After the sentencing, Christopher Gill, Assistant Director, Criminal Investigation, HMRC, said: ‘This trio thought they were running a high-tech and sophisticated fraud using a series of addresses and internet cafes to set up accounts using stolen data. ‘They bombarded the system with applications for tax repayments from these fake accounts, in the hope of getting rich quick. ‘These fraudsters thought the anonymity of the internet would protect them.' He added: 'This case demonstrates that we can and will track down and prosecute those who attack our online systems. ‘This was nothing but a common repayment fraud attempt which our systems quickly identified as bogus. HMRC shuts down the vast majority of bogus repayment applications.’ The trio will face confiscation proceedings at a later date but most of the money has already vanished. The book's protagonist - the Jackal - trawls three village graveyards looking for the headstone of a baby boy who, had he not died, would have been about the same age as the assassin.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Just a few weeks ago, Real Madrid were the most dazzling side in Europe as they chased Champions League and La Liga glory. Now, they find themselves in a crisis with boss Carlo Ancelotti under fire, record signing Gareth Bale booed by his own fans and Cristiano Ronaldo taking a vow of silence. Here, Spain-based reporter RIK SHARMA runs through just what has gone wrong at the Bernabeu after Tuesday night's 4-3 defeat at home by Schalke. Gareth Bale was subjected to boos from Real Madrid fans as they were beaten at home by Schalke . Cristiano Ronaldo celebrates after scoring, but he couldn't prevent his side slumping to a 4-3 defeat . Carlo Ancelotti, pictured hugging Schalke boss Roberto Di Matteo, is under growing pressure at the Bernabeu . It seems that all is not well at the Santiago Bernabeu... You could say that. In fact, you could say a lot worse, and the Spanish newspapers have. 'What horror!' screamed the front page of Marca. 'The odds of being eliminated by Schalke were comparable to those of being killed by a piano,' said AS, after Madrid scraped into the Champions League quarter finals. The Barcelona papers were no kinder. 'A pitiful Madrid!' spat the front page of Sport, while Mundo Deportivo labelled Carlo Ancelotti's side 'ridiculous'. So, what's the problem? Where do you start? Ancelotti's expensive cruise liner is full of holes and the water is flooding in, just at the wrong time. Goalkeeper Iker Casillas, for one, was at fault for three of the four goals Madrid conceded. By the way, the last time they shipped four at the Bernabeu in the Champions League was 15 years ago, against Bayern Munich. Virtually the only thing Casillas stopped on Tuesday night was players like Cristiano Ronaldo from leaving the pitch without applauding the fans. Iker Casillas failed to keep hold of Max Meyer's shot which led to Klass-Jan Huntelaar giving Schalke the lead . Gareth Bale, Alvaro Arbeloa and Cristiano Ronaldo look frustrated as Real Madrid were booed off the field . Surely it is time to play Keylor Navas then? It's not that simple. Jose Mourinho started a war within the club with his treatment of the legendary Casillas. While it's plain to see that the Spanish stopper has been far below his best level for a long time, displacing him could cause more trouble than it's worth. Ancelotti reinstated him and the tension at the club has since simmered down. He will have to think long and hard about whether he wants to start a new battle. Casillas was described as a 'celebrity' rather than a goalkeeper by Marca's Roberto Palomar, but the fact remains that he's the team's captain and has a big influence at the club. Iker Casillas has been below his best for some time, but replacing him is not as simple as it sounds . Casillas called on his Real Madrid team-mates acknowledge the home supporters following the surprise defeat . A group of Real Madrid fans waved a white handkerchief after the final whistle following a disappointing result . Why did Casillas have to force Ronaldo to stay on the pitch? Ronaldo is not having a happy time right now. Ever since he was berated for celebrating his 30th birthday on the evening of Madrid's embarrassing 4-0 defeat by rivals Atletico Madrid, he's been in a strop. Despite leading Lionel Messi in the Pichichi (golden boot) by 13 goals during mid-December, the pair are now level on 30 goals each in La Liga. After winning the Ballon d'Or in January, his productivity levels have dropped considerably. Ronaldo netted twice against Schalke, and both times he celebrated with fury, rather than joy, as if he was proving a point. Ronaldo scored a double against Schalke, but his relationship with the Madrid supporters is strained . The world player of the year has grown frustrated at the lack of support from the Real Madrid supporters . What’s got Cristiano’s goat? A recent poll in AS suggested 30 per cent of Madrid fans wanted to see him dropped - he probably doesn't think he has anything to thank them for. The whistles screaming around the Bernabeu at full time would have angered Ronaldo particularly, given his contribution to the Madridista cause over the past six years. After the game he angrily declared that he wouldn't be speaking to the press until the end of the season. The Spanish media were deeply critical of Real Madrid in Wednesday morning's newspapers . Marca and AS both opted for striking headlines following Real Madrid's defeat at the hands of Schalke . Gareth Bale looked tired against Schalke . What about his partner in crime, Gareth Bale? The past few weeks have been terrible for the Welshman. After last season's heroics in the Copa del Rey and Champions League finals, Bale was expected to continue his development and become a Bernabeu hero. Instead, he's more often the scapegoat. After the controversy where he shot instead of passing to Ronaldo and Karim Benzema, he was labelled selfish and castigated in the Spanish media. Since then, he's been far more reluctant to shoot. That's manifested itself in his recent productivity; he has no goals and no assists in eight matches. That's a long time to go without contributing as a forward for any side, let alone Real Madrid... Yes, it's quite astonishing really. For the most expensive player in football history, in a top team, to fail to contribute anything in that spell, is a surprise. He's played every minute of those eight games, and only in Madrid's 2-0 win over Deportivo de la Coruna on February 14, could he say that he put in a good performance. Is he tired? He looked exhausted against Schalke? That could be the case. Carlo Ancelotti has largely refused to rotate his side, particularly the strikers. The Italian described the 'BBC' attack as 'unnegotiable'. That's a terrible message to send to both the attacking trident, and players like Javier Hernandez and Jese, who are fighting for a place in the team. If Bale, Ronaldo and Benzema will start every game, regardless of performance, it's not going to motivate them or their underlings to produce good displays. It’s understandable that a player like Bale, who relies on his explosive pace, is feeling the strain. Madrid went to the United States to play friendlies in the summer, and then Morocco for the Club World Cup, all of which takes its toll. Carlo Ancelotti's future at Real is the subject of discussion despite delivering the club their 10th European Cup . So, is this all Ancelotti's fault? Well, he's the one that's under pressure now. He's being asked about his future at Madrid, which seems a little unfair given he finally landed them La Decima - the club's 10th European Cup - last season. However, he's not helping his own cause with some of his comments. 'We've played so badly that it is difficult to explain,' he said after the Schalke game. Unfortunately, Carlo, it is your job to not just explain, but also fix the damage. The white handkerchiefs were out... It's a traditional sign of discontent among supporters in Spain, adopted in football from bullfighting. In that 'sport' it's seen as a positive thing, with spectators waving handkerchiefs to encourage the president of the fight to award the fighter a part of the bull (e.g. an ear, or a tail) as a reward for a good performance. Occasionally handkerchiefs can be waved to show support in football, after a great performance, but that was certainly not the case against Schalke. It's not unique to Real Madrid, but they are the team you associate it most with. The fans are, shall we say, high-maintenance. This is good for Barcelona then, who have overtaken Madrid in the league, heading into El Clasico next Sunday? Very good. Luis Enrique’s men are flying, reaping the rewards from a sensible summer schedule and the rotation which the coach was criticised for at the start of the season. Luis Suarez’s enforced rest means he’s finding his best form at the opportune moment, as Manchester City found out a few weeks ago. So Barcelona will beat Madrid in El Clasico and win La Liga? It’s not that simple. Real Madrid didn’t become a giant of world football by rolling over and having their bellies tickled by their bitter rivals. Luka Modric made his return on Tuesday night and he’s a key part of the team, so during the past three months they’ve sorely missed him. Sergio Ramos has been injured, too, along with James Rodriguez. While the latter won’t make El Clasico, Ramos and Modric should play, and that will help Madrid regain some balance and poise. | Real Madrid were dazzling Europe as they chased Champions League and La Liga glory .

Given this paragraph about Vice-Admiral Alexander Colville, tell me when he died and what battles he fought in. | Vice-Admiral Alexander Colville, 7th Lord Colville of Culross (also spelled Colvill) (28 February 1717 – 21 May 1770), served as the Commodore and Commander in Chief of His Majesty's Ships and Vessels in North America from 1757 to 1762.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Rating: . The pub-with-rooms phenomena continues apace in London - and this is a classic of the genre, executed with style and panache by a couple of twentysomethings who met at Leeds University. This is their third Artist Residence (Brighton and Penzance are up and running), in what used to be a traditional boozer in Pimlico, a short walk from Victoria Station. If the bones of a building are important, here they're as good as they get. A bright splash of colour on the canvas: Artist Residence has brought a dash of flair to an old pub . Built by Thomas Cubitt in 1852, the grand, stuccoed house is on four floors - five if you count the basement, where there's a dimly lit bar and sitting room for hotel guests. I feel good the moment I walk in. There is no fuss at reception and, unlike The Orange nearby, there is a separate entrance for those staying the night, so you don't have to shout your name at the bar or get handed a packet of crisps rather than your room key. I've booked a Small Plus room, but am upgraded to The Loft because not many of the ten rooms are occupied. Everything about The Loft is charming: the wooden floors and panelled walls, bare brick, white paint. The bedhead is a gate and the lights (all on dimmers) are industrial, with Sixties anglepoise lamps on the bedside tables. The cupboard must have been reclaimed from an office. In fact, reclamation seems to be a theme. 'The countryside comes to town' is another. The bathroom is part of the bedroom, with a separate shower and enclosed loo. Two sturdy sash windows look terrific and, hallelujah, you can open them. The restaurant is called 64 Degrees. The idea is that the chefs are part of the eating experience, especially if you sit at the bar, as I do. Small plates of this and that are the order of the day under three sections: veg, fish and meat, with four options for each. Haddock gyoza, pear and fennel has me leaning over the bar and asking one of the chefs for an explanation. There are no side dishes of any description - and no carbs as far as I can see. Dr Atkins would feel at home. There's a bubbly, unpretentious atmosphere, though I would expect proper napkins rather than paper jobbies at these prices. Frankly, that's about the only criticism I can muster. Artist Residence . 52 Cambridge Street . London . SW1V 4QQ . 020 7931 8946 . www.artistresidencelondon.co.uk . Doubles from £150, room only.

Who really invented the telephone ? | Credit for the invention of the electric telephone is frequently disputed, and new controversies over the issue have arisen from time to time. Antonio Meucci, Alexander Graham Bell, and Elisha Gray amongst others, have all been credited with the telephone's invention. The early history of the telephone became and still remains a confusing morass of claims and counterclaims, which were not clarified by the huge number of lawsuits filed in order to resolve the patent claims of the many individuals and commercial competitors. The Bell and Edison patents, however, were commercially decisive, because they dominated telephone technology and were upheld by court decisions in the United States.
The modern telephone is the result of the work of many people. Alexander Graham Bell was, however, the first to patent the telephone, as an "apparatus for transmitting vocal or other sounds telegraphically". Bell has most often been credited as the inventor of the first practical telephone. Johann Philipp Reis coined the term "telephon". Models of it were sent abroad, to London, Dublin, Tiflis, and other places. It became a subject for popular lectures, and an article for scientific cabinets. Edison credited him as the "first inventor of the telephone." The Italian-American inventor and businessman Antonio Meucci has been recognized by the U.S. House of Representatives for his contributory work on the telephone. Several other controversies also surround the question of priority of invention for the telephone.
The Elisha Gray and Alexander Bell telephone controversy considers the question of whether Bell and Gray invented the telephone independently and, if not, whether Bell stole the invention from Gray. This controversy is narrower than the broader question of who deserves credit for inventing the telephone, for which there are several claimants. | The telephone invention is a result of many contributions across the years. The most well-known, Antonio Meucci, Alexander Graham Bell, and Elisha Gray helped provided their knowledge and works to create the telephone as we know it today. Several people claimed credit for this creation but we can easily say that this invention is the fruit of humanity's collaboration to ease communication and get people closer across the globe. |
