Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Blame Joshuah Purdy Brown. Or, if you prefer, P.T. Barnum. It's thanks to those 19th-century promoters that the elephant rose to become the circus's king of beasts -- the living symbol of "The Greatest Show on Earth." "This is something that has been a big deal historically," says circus historian Janet Davis, an American studies professor at the University of Texas. Traditionally, she observes, elephants are the stars of the parade when circuses come to town. There was even a 19th-century phrase, "to see the elephant," a euphemism used by soldiers for seeing battle, recognizing the wonder and rarity of these giant animals. On Thursday, Ringling Brothers, part of the Feld Entertainment firm, announced that it would be ending use of elephants by 2018. It's a startling change for the show, which has made the giant pachyderms a centerpiece of its presentation for decades and weathered criticism for their treatment from animal rights groups. CNNMoney: The Greatest Show on Earth will soon be without elephants . Brown was perhaps the first to make elephants a part of the circus atmosphere. The modern circus only dates back to around 1770, the invention of an Englishman named Philip Astley, who added jugglers, acrobats and clowns to his equestrian show. (The term "circus" comes from the ancient Romans, although the Roman version was closer to a sporting event featuring soldiers, and it could be quite bloody.) Astley's circus was such a huge success that he created one in Paris, and his students and acolytes -- knowing a good idea when they saw one -- brought the circus to other cities. To this day, the ringmaster wears elegant riding clothes because of the circus' equestrian roots. Brown, a shrewd marketer who was also responsible for making the circus a tented traveling show, added a "menagerie" to the event to help combat the form's sometimes seedy reputation. "Circuses in this era were really for adults, and not marketed for children at all," says Davis. Brown's show, by adding a menagerie tent to the circus tent, could market their shows as educationally uplifting by "showing people the wonders of the animal world," she adds. By the 1850s, elephants were regular circus attractions. Then came Barnum. In the early 1870s, the clever entrepreneur, who had made his fortune with such acts as the "Feejee Mermaid," singer Jenny Lind and a New York-based museum of curiosities, created P.T. Barnum's Museum, Menagerie and Circus. "They had exotic animals from the four corners of the earth, and you had to go through the menagerie first and then you went to your seat in the big top," Deborah Walk, curator of collections for the Ringling Museums, told PBS for a 2010 documentary called "Circus." "There was no way to miss the menagerie -- it was all part of the educational outreach to get people to go to the show." Barnum and his partner made the circus an efficient business, running it on the railroad to far-flung destinations and transporting their animals long distances. "Elephants become this incredibly important signature part of the circus," says Davis. The beasts were huge attractions. When Barnum announced he was going to bring a white elephant back from Asia, a competitor whitewashed his own elephant and engaged in a media war. (The clash popularized the term "white elephant.") Another Barnum purchase, the African elephant Jumbo, was the centerpiece of his circus, and when Jumbo died in 1885, the victim of a train accident, the news made worldwide headlines. The attitudes towards elephants, and circus animals in general, started changing in the early 20th century, says Davis. For one thing, until World War I, the circus was the king of the entertainment circuit: "There were no movies, radio or television to compete with the wonders of the circus ring and little traffic congestion or parking problems to impede those who sought to attend," wrote Bob Brooke in History magazine. And in recent decades animal-rights activists have increasingly protested against the use of performing mammals such as elephants and killer whales, demanding better treatment for them. Ringling Brothers and other circus companies have dealt with numerous challenges over the last half-century, including ever-splintering attention for entertainment dollars and the rise of acrobat-based shows such as Cirque du Soleil, which is now a global empire. But "The Greatest Show on Earth" is still hugely popular, and Davis believes the loss of elephants won't affect the circus' bottom line. Still, she says, there is something special about the majestic animals. At a show she attended in 2013, the elephants had their own space, and a bunch of children were standing nearby, watching them in awe. "It was very moving," she says. "This physical proximity to these animals is powerful." When it comes to circus animal acts, are more changes to come? Are lions and tigers next? Davis wonders. "In a way, the elephant is kind of the bellwether animal. I would imagine this is a kind of catalyst," she says. "I would imagine that we have not heard the last of the kind of changes that are afoot in terms of animals and circuses." | Elephants have been symbolic of the circus since the 19th century .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A son took the stand in his mother's murder trial Wednesday to testify against his father. Pelle Wall testified in a Salt Lake City, Utah courtroom and described how happy and energetic his mother, Uta von Schwedler, had been in the year before she died, a death that was initially thought to be a suicide but is now believed by authorities to be a carefully plotted out murder on the part of her ex-husband and Pelle's father, John Wall. Pelle also described his father's erratic behavior in the hours after his mother died, including a moment when he sat down on his son's bed and said to the young man, then still a teenager, 'What if I killed her and I don't remember?' Scroll down for video . Pelle Wall (above) took the stand in the murder trial of his mother, Uta von Schwedler, in a Salt Lake City, Utah courtroom on Wednesday . Pelle testified against his father John Wall (above), who is accused of killing his ex-wife and staging it to look like a suicide . According to the Deseret News, John had a very tempestuous relationship with his ex, and Pelle testified he would often say negative things about the woman in front of their children, telling them 'Uta's a bad parent' or 'Uta's making my life difficult.' He said on the stand the two would often argue when it came to the children, and that the last time he saw the two together, John rolled up his car window and drove off with the couple's four children in the middle of a conversation that the two were having in von Schwelder's driveway. Uta Von Schwedler (above) was found in her bathtub on Sept. 27, 2011 with multiple cuts to her body and a high level of Xanax in her system . The next morning Pelle said he father was nowhere to be found, and when he returned home from school that afternoon he said the man had a large cut above his eye. Von Schwedler was found in her bathtub later that day with multiple cuts to her body and a high level of Xanax in her system. That night, John woke his son up while he was sleeping and began displaying 'erratic behavior,' saying 'Uta's dead and they think I did it.' He then asked his son, 'Am I a monster?' and 'What if I killed her and I don't remember?' Pelle testified that his mother had never taken any prescription pills or antidepressants to his knowledge, remembering her as 'happy' and 'energetic.' He also said that while his father initially seemed sad following the death of his ex-wife, that soon turned 'more toward anger, hatred.' He also noted that after his parents first divorced, while he was still in elementary school, the children spent most of their time with their father, but that had changed in the years leading up to his mother's death, with custody split between the two parents, something that angered his father. The 21-year-old has long believed his father killed his mother, moving out of his home when he turned 18 and petitioning the court to remove his three younger siblings from his father's care shortly after. John, a pediatrician, has pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder. | Pelle Wall took the stand in the murder trial of his mother, Uta von Schwedler, in a Salt Lake City, Utah courtroom on Wednesday .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Pleading innocence, immunity and ignorance, the city of Cleveland responded to a wrongful death lawsuit filed by Tamir Rice's family by saying the 12-year-old's death was his own fault. In November, Cleveland Officer Timothy Loehmann fired the fatal shots at Tamir within two seconds of arriving outside a recreation center where the sixth-grader was playing with a pellet gun. In the 41-page response to the family's lawsuit filed Friday, the city says that Tamir's injuries "were directly and proximately caused by the failure of Plaintiffs' decedent to exercise due care to avoid injury." The response further says that "Plaintiffs' decedent's injuries, losses, and damages complained of, were directly and proximately caused by the acts of Plaintiffs' decedent, not this Defendant." The city also claims it is entitled to all "full and qualified" immunities under state and federal law. As to the scores of other allegations in the lawsuit, the city responds by saying that they are untrue, that the independent investigation by Cuyahoga County is still going on, or that the city "is without knowledge or information sufficient to form a belief as to the truth." Cuyahoga County's medical examiner has ruled the death a homicide but has issued no determination as to whether the events that caused the boy's death constitute a crime. Cleveland authorities have repeatedly said that Loehmann mistook Tamir's fake gun for a real one. A witness called 911 on November 22 to say there was "a guy with a pistol" and that although the weapon was "probably" fake, Tamir was scaring people. It doesn't appear the dispatcher relayed the information to Loehmann and Officer Frank Garmback. Video of the incident shows the two pull up on the snowy grass near a gazebo where Tamir is standing. Within two seconds of exiting the police car, Loehmann shoots the 12-year-old. The boy died the next day of injuries to "a major vessel, intestines and pelvis." In the video, neither Loehmann nor Garmback appears to provide medical assistance to the boy, and Police Chief Calvin Williams has said that Tamir did not receive first aid until an FBI agent arrived on the scene four minutes later. An attorney for the Rice family says the city's response to the lawsuit is indicative of well-documented problems within the Cleveland Police Department. "The Rice family maintains that Tamir was shot and killed unnecessarily by Cleveland police officers," Rice family co-counsel Walter Madison said in a statement. "Their tactics that preceded his death and the subsequent victim blaming are examples of the institutionalized behavior that has beset the Cleveland Police Department. The Rice family's lawsuit seeks to eliminate certain institutional behaviors and practices that have no place in our diverse community." Rice family co-counsel Benjamin Crump said the family was "just in disbelief" after reading the response. Crump went on to attack the police department's assertion, put forth in December, that Loehmann gave Tamir three verbal commands to put his hands up. "It is just incredible that the police officer, based on what we see on the video surveillance recording, gave Tamir three verbal commands to put his hands up and drop the weapon, based on what we see in the video. It was less than 1.7 seconds. The car hadn't even stopped. It's unbelievable." CNN could not immediately reach the Cuyahoga County Sheriff's Department for comment. Cleveland Police Department spokesperson Ali Pillow declined comment and referred questions to a city spokesman, who couldn't be immediately reached. In December, the U.S. Justice Department released the results of a two-year investigation that found Cleveland officers use guns, Tasers, pepper spray and their fists excessively, unnecessarily or in retaliation. The police force has used unnecessary and unreasonable force at a "significant rate," employing "dangerous tactics" that put the community at risk, the investigation stated. It was also reported in December that Loehmann's previous employer, the Independence Police Department in a Cleveland suburb, had numerous complaints about the officer, including that he was "distracted and weepy" and "emotionally immature" and had demonstrated "a pattern of lack of maturity, indiscretion and not following instructions." He also showed "dangerous loss of composure during live range training" and an "inability to manage personal stress," the department said. In December, Crump called for Loehmann and Garmback to be charged and decried what he said was a police tendency to let grand juries determine whether to charge officers involved in shootings. In Tamir's case, he said, "several things were done inappropriately," which is probable cause to charge the officers. "There is nothing written anywhere in the law that says police officers are to be treated differently from any other citizen," Crump said. "We cannot have children playing cops and robbers on a playground and police officers coming and claiming their lives." Loehmann and Garmback have been placed on paid leave pending the outcome of the investigation. CNN's Kristina Sgueglia, Catherine E. Shoichet and Vivian Kuo contributed to this report. | Cleveland: Tamir Rice died because he failed "to exercise due care to avoid injury" A police officer killed Tamir, 12, last year as the boy played with a pellet gun .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | His daughter is barely clinging onto life after a suspected drug overdose. But Bobby Brown appeared on a talk show today selling his barbecue sauce - and saying that Bobbi Kristina was 'doing really well'. The pre-recorded segment of Queen Latifah was accompanied by a brief on-screen warning that the interview was 'previously recorded'. But it was not shown throughout the segment, which was broadcast on network affiliate stations around the country. Daily Mail Online has reached out to Sony Pictures, which produces the Queen Latifah show to ask why it was aired. Warning: Viewers were told briefly when Bobby brown arrived on the Queen Latifah show that it was made before his daughter was found drowned in her bath tub . In the course of his appearance, Brown said that his daughter was 'great' and busy working on her music. He joked about how he doesn't like working out and said that Bobbi Kristina had 'the voice of her mother'. But the decision to air it regardless will be seen by many to be in bad taste. Bobbi Kristina is currently unconscious in an Atlanta hospital room after she was found unresponsive in her bathtub on January 31 in a chilling echo of how her mother Whitney Houston died. Her family have said she is 'still fighting' but reports have claimed that she could suffer from serious brain damage if she ever manages to leave the hospital. Pictures this week showed Brown, 46, looking forlorn with his eyes puffy beneath a beanie as he grappled with the tragedy that has befallen his family. Distraught: Bobby Brown earlier this week in a state of apparent distress and exhaustion after visiting his daughter . Promotion: Brown was on the show to push his range of barbecue sauces. But since his daughter's drowning he has been at the hospital where she is fighting for her life . But on the Queen Latifah show he seemed relaxed and in good humor. With a smile on his face, Brown cooked some shrimp and rice for Latifah to show off his range of barbecue sauces, which he launched last summer. Brown said: 'Smell it! 'When you smell good food, that's when you go into a place to eat, when you can smell it from outside. Fresh peppers and herbs and garlic.' Asked how things are going with his family, Brown said: 'Everybody's great. 'Two of my sons are working on LPs. They drive me crazy, but, you know. They do their thing and I just stand to the side. 'My oldest daughter LaPrincia is still in school getting her masters and I'm so proud of her. Cooking: Brown was also seen working on his range of sauces before making small talk with Queen Latifah . Together: Bobbi Kristina and her father Bobby brown pictured together when she was younger . Ordeal: Bobbi Kristina is in hospital while her boyfriend Nick Gordon is at odds with her father . 'Bobbi Kristina, who everybody knows, she's doing really well. 'Working on her music, I'm so proud of her. I am so proud of her. She has the voice of her mother and the legs of her father.' Brown added that his late wife's performance album had just come out - it was released in November last year - and that he was thinking of quitting music. He said: 'I've decided to, I don't know, the music business has gotten so strange that I plan on recording probably the last album and I'm gunna call it. 'I'm 45 years old. Forty five years old! I feel it one good last album and I want to go and sit with my grandchildren and just chill. 'You have to understand, I've been doing this for almost 35 years, my legs are tired. I love dancing and singing, it's just the workout part. 'Alright, alright, two miles is enough, to be on a treadmill and lifting weights. It's all cool to be healthy but, it's not really cool when you don't wanna do it no more.' Brown added that he was also working on his memoirs so 'people know the truth about my life'.

From the passage note down the years when global recession happened. List the results in comma separated format. | The International Monetary Fund defines a global recession as "a decline in annual per‑capita real World GDP (purchasing power parity weighted), backed up by a decline or worsening for one or more of the seven other global macroeconomic indicators: Industrial production, trade, capital flows, oil consumption, unemployment rate, per‑capita investment, and per‑capita consumption".According to this definition, since World War II there were only four global recessions (in 1975, 1982, 1991 and 2009), all of them only lasting a year (although the 1991 recession would have lasted until 1993 if the IMF had used normal exchange rate weighted per‑capita real World GDP rather than the purchasing power parity weighted per‑capita real World GDP). The 2009 global recession, also known as the Great Recession, was by far the worst of the four postwar recessions, both in terms of the number of countries affected and the decline in real World GDP per capita. | 1975, 1982, 1991, 2009 |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Less than an hour's drive from one of Earth's great fresh water sources, some people in Flint are searching for a drop worth drinking. Since the financially struggling city broke away from the Detroit water system last year, residents have been unhappy with the smell, taste and appearance of water from the city's river as they await the completion of a pipe to Lake Huron. They also have raised health concerns, reporting rashes, hair loss and other problems. A General Motors plant stopped using the water, saying it was rusting its parts. Officials say recent state tests show the water meets federal safety guidelines, and the city will be better off free of the leviathan Detroit system once the pipeline is complete by 2016. And while many Detroit suburbs have long dreamed of breaking their dependence on the city's water, further-away Flint is the first to risk it — and test whether the potential savings are worth going it alone. Scroll down for video . Fresh and clean? In this January 21, 2015 image, LeeAnne Walters shows water samples from her Flint home that were collected that month . Giveway: In this Tuesday, Feb. 3, 2015 photo, Genetha Campbell carries free water being distributed at the Lincoln Park United Methodist Church in Flint . 'Unfortunately, some of our problems aren't quickly or easily solved,' said Jerry Ambrose, Flint's state-appointed emergency manager, adding that the 'challenges' resulting from the temporary reliance on the river 'were greater than we expected.' 'The potential to leave (Detroit) was well-supported by a business case, and in the long-term will benefit this region as well as the city of Flint,' Ambrose said. While there won't be 'magical reductions' in rates, he said, cost increases should be much less. Flint had long chafed at the Detroit Water & Sewerage Department's rising prices. Flint officials estimated the cost of buying water from Detroit this year at $16 million, and the overall annual cost of switching to the new Karegnondi Water Authority would be $12.5 million. Still, the long-discussed divorce has brought real and figurative headaches. Tests released last week show the water is safe, but complaints from residents persist. They say the water looks brown or rusty, and tastes and smells of chlorine. People have protested at council meetings, held community hearings, hosted water giveaways and marched through downtown. Facebook pages have been forums for complaints and concerns. Last month, the county started distributing bottled water to about 1,300 preschool students and a children's museum recently blocked access to water fountains, citing Safe Drinking Water Act violations because of high levels of a disinfectant byproduct. High bacteria levels forced boil-water advisories last year. Resident Tony Palladeno Jr., 53, said he gets bottled water from a grocery store or spring water from his cabin further north, but uses city water for showers. 'No matter what, if I go in, one time it's going to be my eyes, or I'll get headaches or my lungs,' he said, adding that he's lost hair and produces a bottle of it to illustrate. 'People say, "Oh, it's paranoia." No. ... I'm living this.' Community issue: Lemott Thomas carries free water being distributed at the Lincoln Park United Methodist Church in Flint, Michigan, on February 3. Residents have raised numerous health concerns over the city's water .

(February 3 file photo) Protest: Flint resident Jessica Owens carries a sign in the shape of a wide-eyed skull on February 4 to signify Flint's water and its health issues during a protest of the city's water quality . Palladeno, who considers his city 'a guinea pig,' and others are angered by the decision to let the GM Engine Plant stop using Flint water and link with a township that gets water from Detroit. The move could cost the city about $400,000 per year in lost revenue. Rick Holtstander boiled his tap water at first, but says he rubbed his finger around the inside of the pan and picked up 'something that looked just like cigarette ash.' 'I don't even let my dogs drink this water,' he said as he collected four gallons at a recent water giveaway. Activists have urged Flint to return to Detroit's system, which has offered to reconnect the city at last year's rates. Other Detroit water customers are watching how the situation unfolds. Between Flint and Detroit sits Oakland County, where County Executive L. Brooks Patterson has often spoken about mismanagement in Detroit's system. He has in the past has explored building a separate water and sewer structure, and has celebrated efforts to create a regional Great Lakes Water Authority to take over operations of Detroit's water system. Before a judge mediating the negotiations imposed a gag order, Patterson expressed concerns about raising enough revenue. Patterson also has said he didn't see a sound business case for Flint's solo plans, and cited an analysis that losing Flint-area customers would leave those remaining in Detroit's system with higher bills. Flint's troubles underscore the challenges any major water customer with similar designs could encounter, said Nick Schroeck, executive director of the Great Lakes Environmental Law Center at Wayne State University. The main obstacle is the cost, he said, and water and sewer projects aren't attractive to investors. 'Maybe, economically and long-term, this will make sense for Flint and Genesee County, but that remains to be seen,' he said. 'As a region, I think we're better when we're working together and sharing resources. ... We're tied together for better or worse through our natural resources.'

'To get to Wembley doesn't excite me, to get to the FA Cup semi-final does,' he said. That's the key for me. One more step in the cup would be nice. To get to Wembley is just another game, there are no prizes for it. 'The final goal of any competition is to pick up the silver trophy at the end of it. This is just another step on the way to the final. That's how you have to look at every round and that's how we have looked at every round. 'It's not to get excited about a semi-final.

Give me the history and background of the Phoenix Suns basketball franchise | The Phoenix Suns are an American professional basketball team based in Phoenix, Arizona. They compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA), as a member of the league's Western Conference Pacific Division. The Suns are the only team in their division not to be based in California, and play their home games at the Footprint Center. The Suns are one of four major league sports teams based in the Phoenix area, but are the only one to bill themselves as representing the city (the other teams - the Cardinals, Coyotes, and Diamondbacks - all bill themselves as representing the state of Arizona). | The Phoenix Suns are an American professional basketball team based in Phoenix, Arizona.

The Suns are one of four major league sports teams based in the Phoenix area, but are the only one to bill themselves as representing the city (the other teams - the Cardinals, Coyotes, and Diamondbacks - all bill themselves as representing the state of Arizona).
The franchise began play in 1968 as an expansion team, and their early years were mired in mediocrity, but their fortunes changed in the 1970s after partnering Dick Van Arsdale and Alvan Adams with Paul Westphal; the team reached the 1976 NBA Finals, in what is considered to be one of the biggest upsets in NBA history. However, after failing to capture a championship, the Suns would rebuild around Walter Davis for a majority of the 1980s, until the acquisition of Kevin Johnson in 1988.
Under Johnson, and after trading for perennial NBA All-Star Charles Barkley, and combined with the output of Tom Chambers and Dan Majerle, the Suns reached the playoffs for a franchise-record thirteen consecutive appearances and remained a regular title contender throughout the 1990s, and reached the 1993 NBA Finals. However, the team would again fail to win a championship, and entered into another period of mediocrity until the early part of the 2000s.
In 2004, the Suns signed free agent Steve Nash (who had blossomed for the Dallas Mavericks after being traded from Phoenix six years earlier), and returned into playoff contention. With Nash, Shawn Marion, and Amar'e Stoudemire, and under head coach Mike D'Antoni, the Suns became renowned worldwide for their quick, dynamic offense, which led them to tie a franchise record in wins in the 2004–05 season. Two more top two Conference placements followed, but the Suns again failed to attain an NBA championship, and were forced into another rebuild. After ten consecutive seasons without a playoff berth, the Suns reached the 2021 NBA Finals after acquiring Chris Paul, forming a quartet with their young core of Devin Booker, Deandre Ayton and Mikal Bridges. Following a disappointing playoff exit in 2022, the Suns acquired 13-time All-Star and two-time NBA champion Kevin Durant.
The Suns own the NBA's fifth-best all-time winning percentage, and have the second highest winning percentage of any team to have never won an NBA championship. 11 Hall of Famers have played for Phoenix, while two — Barkley and Nash — won NBA Most Valuable Player (MVP) while playing for the team. Additionally, their Hall of Fame radio announcer Al McCoy is the longest-tenured broadcaster in NBA history. |
What is interesting about the play Polish Bethlehem? | Lucjan Rydel, also known as Lucjan Antoni Feliks Rydel (17 May 1870 in Kraków – 8 April 1918 in Bronowice Małe), was a Polish playwright and poet from the Young Poland movement.
Life
Rydel was the son of Lucjan Rydel, a surgeon, ophthalmologist, professor and Rector of Jagiellonian University in Kraków, and of Helena Kremer.
In 1904, Rydel wrote a nativity play, Polish Bethlehem (Betlejem polskie), and staged its production in two suburbs of Kraków, Tonie and Bronowice, with local villagers as actors. It was an expression of his profound respect for rural Poland as well as the result of his flair for theatrical experimentation. Rydel left the third and the final act of his play open. In the course of history, new characters, including contemporary Polish politicians and celebrities, were added to it by various producers to make the play appeal to new audiences. | The play Polish Bethlehem, written in 1904, has the third act open to future additions, enabling future producers to add new characters to the play to update it for contemporary times. |

Luckily, the ancient city of Babylon is outside the extremists' grasp, south of Baghdad. For nearly 5,000 years it has stood as a symbol of the glory of ancient Mesopotamian civilization. Saddam Hussein renovated the ruins in the 1980s, leaving his own crude personal stamp on the bricks there. They bear his name and describe him as the son of Nebuchadnezzar, who had the reputation of being ancient Babylon's greatest king. One of Hussein's former palaces still peers down over the city. But it continues to be source of great pride for Iraqis who see themselves as the heirs of the world's oldest civilization. And many Iraqis know better than to buy the claims of their deposed despot. "This wasn't Saddam's," said Adnan Abu Fatima. "It belonged to our grandfathers, the Babylonians." Abu Fatima strolled through the ruins with his family. Saddam's vain brick inscriptions may annoy him, but ISIS' destruction appalls him. "The Mosul museum was destroyed. Why?" he wants to know from ISIS. "That is the heritage of your grandfathers. Why did you do that?" The defacers' reasoning? The artifacts, some of the oldest in ancient civilization, are from the "age of ignorance," ISIS says, before the advent of Islam. Antiquity is an integral part of Iraq's national identity. History is measured there not in centuries but in millennia, and Iraqi's take such vandalism to heart. They've had to watch since the U.S. invasion in 2003 how artifacts have been stolen. Baghdad's museum was plundered, during a lapse in U.S. security, and the priceless artifacts were smuggled around the world. The U.S. State Department has announced it will return more than 60 items on Monday, which had been sneaked into the United States. Safa ad-Din Hassan and other parents took Iraqi scouts on a camping trip near Babylon to teach them about their history and make ancient artwork with them. Hassan fled Mosul when ISIS overran it last year then later ransacked the museum. "When I saw what happened, I was determined to come her to preserve our antiquities from ISIS," he said. Iraq will defend its heritage against ISIS, said Mohamed Hattab from Iraq's Antiquities Department. "Babylon is our soul." It's a soul under assault by latter day barbarians, who have destroyed much of it in the North, which has been out of the defensive reach of Iraqi soldiers. The military has started a drive to retake Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit from the extremists. After the rage of a battle subsided, they moved in to the outskirt town of Awja to find the former dictator's tomb flattened. Video of soldiers standing on top of it was posted to YouTube. They celebrated the posthumous slap against their former tormentor. One man fired shots into the rubble toward Hussein's grave site. It was a piece of history they were glad to part with. CNN's Ben Wedeman reported and wrote from Babylon, and Ben Brumfield reported and wrote from Atlanta.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)One is a 21-year-old California man accused of trying to travel to Syria to join ISIS. Another, a 17-year-old Virginia student charged with helping recruit for the radical Islamist group. Charges against both were released Wednesday, and they are just the latest in a growing number of similar cases from the United States. More than 20,000 foreigners have gone to fight for ISIS, the terror group that controls portions of Iraq and Syria, experts have told Congress. National Intelligence Director James Clapper said 180 Americans have tried to go to fight in Syria. It's unclear how many of those were attempting to join ISIS. Here are some of their stories: . Arrested at George H.W. Bush Houston Intercontinental Airport before a flight to Europe, Wolfe was charged in June "with attempting to provide material support to terrorists," authorities said. He "planned to travel to the Middle East to provide his services to radical groups engaged in armed conflict in Syria," according to a complaint. On February 2, 2014, an undercover agent met with Wolfe and his wife and they watched a YouTube video about foreign fighters in Syria, officials said. Wolfe allegedly discussed the activities of ISIS, they said. The 18-year-old from Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, pleaded guilty at a Minneapolis federal court to one count of conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS . Yusuf was stopped by the FBI from boarding a flight to Turkey from Minneapolis/Saint Paul Airport in May. Yusuf and another man, Abdi Nur, were charged in late November with conspiring to aid ISIS. Conley's plan to join ISIS and serve as a nurse at a jihadist camp ended in September with a guilty plea on a terror charge in a Colorado federal court. Arrested in April, the 19-year-old was at Denver International Airport about to embark on a journey to Germany and eventually to an ISIS camp near the Turkish border. She told investigators she was going to Turkey to await word from her suitor, an ISIS member she met on the Internet, whom she planned to marry. The Cincinnati 20-year-old was on the FBI's radar for months as he posted about violent jihad on social media. The feds said they arrested him before he could hatch his alleged plot. Reminiscent of the attack on the Charlie Hebdo offices in Paris, he planned to set off pipe bombs at the U.S. Capitol, and when employees and lawmakers fled the building, he and an accomplice would shoot them, according to a criminal complaint. Cornell allegedly told an informant he had been in contact with people overseas, and that he had aligned himself with ISIS. The attack, according to the complaint, would be a way of supporting the extremist group. The Stoughton, Massachusetts, man was first placed on the FBI terror list for 2009 crimes but since has been suspected of joining ISIS, officials said. He's fluent in both English and Arabic, and if his college degree in computers is any indication, he has a way with technology. Then there's his interest in radical Islam. Put it all together, and authorities said former Boston resident and U.S. citizen Ahmad Abousamra could be a good fit inside the ISIS social media machine that's become renowned in recent weeks for spewing brutal propaganda across social media. The son of a Palestinian father and Italian-American mother, the 22-year-old from Vero Beach, Florida, is believed to be the first American suicide bomber to die in Syria. The former high school football playecr killed himself in May 2014 when he drove a truck full of explosives into a Syrian army position and detonated it, U.S. officials said. Three teenage girls who set out from a Denver suburb apparently bound for Syria to join extremists were sent home to their parents after they were stopped in Germany, U.S. officials said. The teens -- two sisters of Somali descent and a friend whose family is Sudanese, according to a Denver community leader -- were detained when their flight landed in Frankfurt on Friday after the FBI flagged their passports. The 21-year-old California man was arrested last summer, but was indicted on Wednesday. The FBI said he attempted to offer himself and material support to work under the direction and control of ISIS. His arraignment is scheduled for later this month. The 17-year-old Virginia student has been charged with helping recruit for ISIS, federal law enforcement officials said Wednesday. The teen lives in a suburb of Washington and is accused of helping a slightly older adult travel to Syria. The adult is believed to have joined ISIS there. The student is also accused of distributing ISIS messages. Arrested last month in New York and Florida, they are accused by the federal government of attempting to join ISIS and of fostering plans to kill the President and shoot law enforcement officers. The three men face charges that include attempting and conspiring to provide material support and resources to a foreign terrorist organization, according to a criminal complaint filed in federal court. None were U.S. citizens, but Saidakhmetov, 19, and Juraboev, 24, had permanent resident status. Habibov, 30, was in the United States legally, but overstayed his visa, police said. The 20-year-old was charged with conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. Nur "conspired to join ISIL and travel from Minnesota to the Middle East to engage in a campaign of terror," Assistant Attorney General for National Security John Carlin said in November, using another acronym for ISIS. Kahn was arrested at O'Hare International Airport in Chicago in October. The 19-year-old is charged with one count of attempting to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization. In a letter to his parents, Kahn wrote that he was leaving the United States and on the way to join ISIS, court documents said. The charge carries a maximum penalty of 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine. This 33-year-old man from New Hope, Minnesota, died in late August while fighting for ISIS, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported. McCain's uncle said his nephew had gone to Syria to fight as a jihadi. The 19-year-old Somali-American woman slipped away from her parents in late August. She told them she was going to a bridal shower, but instead hopped a flight to Turkey and joined ISIS, Reuters reported. Another woman is suspected of helping her leave the country. U.S. authorities said he is an ISIS sympathizer. Morgan was arrested on August 2 on arrival at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport from Frankfurt, Germany. A federal grand jury in North Carolina charged him with illegal weapons possession. The court documents make no mention of the ISIS connection, but U.S. officials said his Twitter postings support the terrorist group. Federal authorities accuse him of funding ISIS, trying to send jihadists to Syria to fight with the terrorist group and plotting to do some killing himself, by gunning down U.S. troops who had served in Iraq . The 30-year-old faces three counts of trying "to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization" (namely, ISIS), one count of attempting to kill officers and employees of the United States, two counts of having an unregistered firearm silencer and one for possessing guns or silencers "in furtherance of a crime of violence," court documents say. The federal investigation into Elfgeeh began in early 2013, but he wasn't arrested until May 2014. Some 100 other Americans are believed to have either fought in Syria since 2011 or been arrested before they could get there, according to Peter Bergen, CNN's national security analyst. So far, no U.S. citizen involved in fighting or supporting ISIS or any other militant group has been charged with plotting to conduct an attack inside the United States, but that's the fear. Also, in none of the successful terrorist attacks in the United States since 9/11 -- such as the Boston Marathon bombings in 2013 or Maj. Nidal Hasan's massacre at Fort Hood, Texas, in 2009 -- did any of the convicted or alleged perpetrators receive training overseas. Former jihadist Mubin Shaikh said many of those who are attracted to ISIS or other militant causes are struggling to combine their Muslim and Western identities. "When you're dealing with first-, second-, even third-generation individuals from various ethnic backgrounds, there are still problems of acculturation and integration," he said. They ask: "Who am I supposed to be? " That's the challenge mosques and Western governments will have to deal with, Shaikh said. | Growing numbers of Americans are attracted to ISIS .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Celebrities are donning stockings on their head to show support for a seven-year-old girl who lost her hair after her cancer treatment. The social media craze, known as #tighthairdo, was inspired by schoolgirl Jordyn Miller who found a creative way to cope with bullies after she was teased for losing her her hair due to chemotherapy. As people became aware of little girl's experience, they have posted photos on social media with stocking on their heads just like Jordyn did in a sign of solidarity, accompanied by a hashtag declaring 'Jordyn is beautiful'. TV chef Manu Feildel, Big Brother winner Tim Dormer, Olympic swimmer Eamon Sullivan and presenter Jessica Rowe are just some of the people that have ptaken part to raise money to help children recovering from cancer battles. Scroll down for video . Jordyn Miller (left) was diagnosed with stage one cancer when she was five. She and her sister Charli (right) would wear tights and tea-towels on their heads to help Jordyn cope with losing her beloved hair . Big Brother winner Tim Dormer posed with tights on his head to support little Jordyn and encourage people to donate to help children with cancer . Celebrity chef Manu Feildel and TV presenter Jessica Rowe also joined in to help Jordyn and Camp Quality . On her first day of school, the six-year-old refused to remove her hat and was bullied for 'looking like a boy' At just five-years-old Jordyn was diagnosed with 'Wilm's tumor', a cancer of the kidneys. After five months of chemotherapy and a long recovery from surgery, the kindergarten student was so nervous to return to school that she refused to remove her hat. The little girl from Wingham on the north coast of New South Wales, was upset after losing her long, wavy hair. 'She used to have beautiful, long curly hair that she used to love – she's a very girly girl and the chemo caused it to fall out which was a big deal for Jordyn,' Her mother Tarin Miller,33, told Daily Mail Australia. Unfortunately, her fear that the other kids would make fun of her was not unfounded. 'When she first started school, she was shy about it and kids being kids used to tease her about looking like a boy. They'd call her ugly.' One of her daughter's coping mechanisms was to wear a pair of tights or a tea-towel on her head. 'One day Jordan just come out of her room with the tights on her head and said 'this is my beautiful long hair' and Charli, being her little sister, just copied,' she said. Newsreader Mark Ferguson and Olympic swimmer Eamon Sullivan also posed with tights on their head . Members of the Sydney Kings basketball team posed in colourful stockings to help kids with cancer . The kindergarten student had her left kidney removed after she was found to have a Wilms tumour . The sibling would spend entire days with tea towels or tights on their heads, even enlisting their cousin whenever she would visit. Camp Quality posted the pictures on their Facebook page. The beautiful images of Charli and Jordyn grinning with their stocking hair were shared widely. Touched by the image of sisterly support, people chose to join in by posting images of themselves with tights on their head with #tighthairdo and #jordynisbeautiful. Camp Quality decided to use the opportunity to start a social media campaign, inspired by the success of the 2014 craze, the Ice Bucket Challenge. The challenge raised money for ALS by asking people to throw icy buckets of water on their heads, donate money to the cause and nominate friends to do the same. Jordyn, pictured with her parents Tarin and Anthony (left), also underwent five months of chemotherapy in which she lost all her hair . TV chef Miguel Maestre also wanted people to wear tights and nominate people to help raise money for puppet shows which help make school children aware of how to be kind and considerate of children returning to school after cancer treatment . Camp Quality set up a text donation platform, so people could donate to nominate the next friends they wanted to see post a #tighthairdo. Celebrities who have already gotten behind the campaign and posted a #tighthairdo include TV chef Manu Feildel, Big Brother winner Tim Dormer, Olympic swimmers Eamon Sullivan and Alicia Coutts and former Vogue Editor Kirstie Clements. News presenter Mark Ferguson, TV presenter Jessica Rowe and Sydney Kings basketball players have also shown their support for Jordyn and all children undergoing cancer treatment. Jana Cooper, Camp Quality's Marketing Manager, said: 'The point of difference between this campaign and the Ice Bucket Challenge or the #nomakeupselfie, is that the whole idea centres around kids.' 'It was created by kids, it raises money for kids and we've seen many kids get involved. Something else that makes it unique is that it was born in Australia and it uses an Australian text donation service. To be involved, people simply need to text 'Jordyn' to 0476 000 222 to donate. Camp Quality has been performing a puppet show in schools across the country to encourage students to support their peers who are suffering or recovering from cancer . All funds donated to the campaign will help fund Camp Quality’s touring puppet show for schools. These shows teach pupils how to be supportive and understanding of kids living with cancer. The performance is incredibly effective in preventing and tackling teasing, staring and name-calling when a child returns to school post-treatment. A urine infection led to the discovery of a tumour in Jordyn's left kidney. She was quickly diagnosed with stage one cancer and was signed up for surgery to remove the organ. According to Gary Nunn from the cancer charity Camp Quality, Jordyn is one of 10,000 children across Australia who are currently newly diagnosed, under treatment or in remission from cancer treatment. The show discourages bullying and expels myths that children hold about cancer, including that it is contagious, encouraging them to support and include kids with . Mr Nunn told Daily Mail Australia that after all the emotional and physical hardships endured by the children throughout their treatment, just as things are starting to look up, one of the most common problems they encounter is bullying. 'We've heard about everything from pointing and staring and: 'mummy, why does she looks so different?' to exclusion and isolation,' Mr Nunn said. 'Exclusion is one of the more common ones, kids are often left out because other kids think that they can catch cancer and it's contagious. 'We hear it a lot and there was one incident of name calling recently where we had a mum ringing us up and saying her daughter was being called 'baldie' and some of the kids were taking off her beanie and throwing it and playing catch with it'. Camp Quality is determined to change this mentality and teach children that there is no need to cover up the effects of their cancer treatment, while educating their peers about how to be supportive and understanding of kids living with cancer. The charity has been roaming the country with their educational puppet show on the request of parents and teachers, to expel the myths around cancer. Gary Nunn, a spokesperson for the cancer charity, said that by the end of the show ,the kids are all cheering for the bald puppet character to take off her hat . Former Vogue editor Kirstie Clements posted a photo on Twitter encouraging people to take part in the Camp Quality campaign . Their show has been viewed by over 230,000 children in the last year and relies on public support to continue running. It involves a bald cancer-patient puppet who tries to decide if she should take off her hat - just like little Jordyn. 'By the end of the show the kids are all cheering for her to take off her hat,' Mr Nunn explains. 'Once our puppet show had come to one school, we heard of a girl who went back to her class and quietly removed her hat and she didn't wear it from then on. Once we teach the students about it, that child becomes a sort of hero for all they've been through and they have other children falling over themselves to be their friend.' After Mrs Miller asked Camp Quality to come to her daughter's school to perform their puppet show, she said there was an instant change in attitude. Now, whilst her hair is still much shorter than it once was, Jordyn - who is now in remission - often tells her mother how much she's looking forward to having long hair again. | Jordyn Miller was diagnosed with stage one cancer at five years old .

The 24-year-old linebacker told the San Francisco 49ers on Friday and made the announcement on ESPN's Outside the Lines. After consulting with eminent concussion reserachers and his family, Borland decided to call it quits on a promising NFL career. 'I just honestly want to do what's best for my health,' Borland told the show. 'From what I've researched and what I've experienced, I don't think it's worth the risk.' Former Wisconsin Badger Borland tackles Alfred Morris during his highly promising rookie year . 'I just thought to myself, "What am I doing? Is this how I'm going to live my adult life, banging my head, especially with what I've learned and knew about the dangers?'" Borland has had two concussions in his life; one playing soccer in eighth grade and the next while playing football at high school. He said he took a head shot in training camp last season and opted to play through it. Borland has retired from the NFL after one year . Borland's year in San Francisco yielded 107 tackles, two interceptions and was awarded NFC Defensive Player of the Week and received a vote for Defensive Rookie of the Year. His announcement is a further blow to the 49ers, who are in a state of flux since former head coach Jim Harbaugh left the Bay Area. Fellow linebacker Patrick Willis also took the decision to retire after eight years in the NFL, to leave the 49ers in strife in a previous position of strength. Borland and Willis join 27-year-old Jason Worilds, who quit the Pittsburgh Steelers after five years in the NFL, and Jake Locker, 26, who also announced his decision to turn his back on the game. Jeff Miller, the NFL's senior vice president of health and safety policy, released in a statement. 'We respect Chris Borland's decision and wish him all the best. Playing any sport is a personal decision. 'By any measure, football has never been safer and we continue to make progress with rule changes, safer tackling techniques at all levels of football, and better equipment, protocols and medical care for players. 'Concussions in NFL games were down 25 percent last year, continuing a three-year downward trend. We continue to make significant investments in independent research to advance the science and understanding of these issues. We are seeing a growing culture of safety. Everyone involved in the game knows that there is more work to do and player safety will continue to be our top priority.' Borland's announcement took the 49ers by surprise. 'While unexpected, we certainly respect Chris' decision, general manager Trent Baalke said in a statement. 'From speaking with Chris, it was evident that he had put a great deal of thought into this decision. He was a consummate professional from day one and a very well respected member of our team and community. Chris is a determined young man that overcame long odds in his journey to the NFL and we are confident he will use the same approach to become very successful in his future endeavors.

The policy change was hailed by Islamic leaders in New York City. Under the new policy, the city's 1.1 million-pupil public school system will close on Sept. 24 for Eid al-Adha, which is also known as the Festival of Sacrifice. The holiday of Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan, will be observed during summer school in 2016. Scroll down for video . NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio (pictured today promised in his election campaign that New York public schools would add the Muslim holidays to their vacation calendars . Mayor Bill de Blasio announced today that NYC will become largest school district in the nation to recognize Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha . Ramadan is based on the Islamic lunar calendar and moves each year. 'Hundreds of thousands of Muslim families will no longer have to choose between honoring the most sacred days on their calendar or attending school,' Mayor Bill de Blasio said in his announcement. Muslim leaders welcomed the announcement. 'After years of advocating by New York City's Muslim community, Muslim public school students will finally and thankfully no longer be penalized for observing their religious holidays,' said Zead Ramadan, a board member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. Linda Sarsour, a Muslim community advocate and public school parent who joined de Blasio for the announcement at a school in Brooklyn, said, 'This is what New York City is all about — recognition, inclusion and respect.' Estimates of the number of Muslims living in New York City vary from 600,000 to 1 million. Community leaders have long urged adding the two Muslim holidays to the school calendar, and the City Council passed a resolution supporting the change in 2009. Former Mayor Michael Bloomberg opposed making the change but de Blasio and the other major candidates who campaigned to succeed Bloomberg in 2013 all said they would implement it. The new calendar will keep the total number of school days unchanged at 182: the state-mandated 180 plus two more in case there are snow days. New York City public schools have long closed for major Jewish holidays such as Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur as well as the Christian holidays of Christmas and Good Friday.

'If you want to go to Emirates and try to play you will not have any chance to win the game there because this stadium is very hard to play in. 'You have to stay together very compact and not give them any room, then take the opportunity on the counter attack. 'If we do this very well like Monaco did, then we can get a good result there.' Song, the 27-year-old on loan from Barcelona until the end of the season, feels the Irons can raise their game against Arsenal. 'We have shown a lot of things this season as a team, especially when we play against teams at the highest level like Manchester City and Liverpool or Tottenham. We've done very well and we need to continue to improve in this way,' said Song, who stayed in London to work on his fitness while the rest of the squad were away at a warm-weather camp in Dubai. The 27-year-old feels West Ham can raise their game against Arsenal in the same way Monaco did . 'We can play better and hopefully this game on Saturday will be a very good test for us. 'It has been a long time since we won a game in the league, so we must try to come back and try to win or get one point there. 'Everything is possible in football and we just need to keep believing and trying hard on the pitch.' Song maintains there can be no room for sentiment against his former club. 'They are one part of my life and, because I went there when I was 17, I always say it is my family,' the former Cameroon international said. 'I know this is a special game for me, but that is football and I have to take all the emotion out and just try to play my game, to play the best football I can to help the team to win.' | West Ham have plummeted down to 10th place in the Premier League table .

Based on the autopsy, list the contributing factors to Farley's death in bullet format. | On December 18, 1997, Farley was found dead by his younger brother John in his apartment in the John Hancock Center in Chicago. He was 33 years old. An autopsy revealed that Farley had died of an overdose of a combination of cocaine and morphine, commonly known as a "speedball". Advanced atherosclerosis was cited as a "significant contributing factor."
A private funeral was held for Farley on December 23, 1997, at Our Lady Queen of Peace Catholic Church in his hometown of Madison, Wisconsin. Over 500 people attended his funeral, including many comedians who had worked with him on Saturday Night Live and on film, such as Dan Aykroyd, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, Lorne Michaels, Al Franken, John Goodman, Bob Odenkirk, Tim Meadows, Robert Smigel, George Wendt and Phil Hartman. Notably absent was Farley's best friend David Spade. Spade's non-appearance fueled speculation that there was some falling out with Farley prior to his death. However, years later Spade denied any ill will between him and his comedic partner, admitting that his absence from the funeral was because he would have found it too emotionally difficult. Farley's remains were interred at Resurrection Cemetery in Madison. | -Overdose from a speedball

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Islamic State terrorists could launch a chlorine gas attack on Britain - a weapon used to kill thousands of British troops in the First World War trenches, an expert said today. Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon believes that every British ISIS fighter will have been given chemical weapons training in the hope they will come back to launch an attack. The retired head of chemical and biological weapons for the Army believes the Tube or sporting events could be the target. Scotland Yard said that last year five Britons a week were heading to Syria and an estimated 500 of them may have returned to Britain. Fears: Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, left and right in 2007, recently retired head of chemical and biological weapons for the Army, is worried that ISIS might launch a chlorine attack in Britain . Colonel de Bretton-Gordon, who is now managing director of Avon Protection, believes that ISIS terrorists returning to the UK are 'highly likely' to use the gas, because it is easier to get hold of than weapons like guns and explosives. He has spoken out to warn the public what to do if there is an attack on UK soil and believes that it would be 'very survivable and a lot less dangerous than bombs and bullets'. He told MailOnline: 'I am convinced that IS fighters are all being given training in chemical weapons and the British ones, who are likely to be more educated, will all be targeted in the hope they may return home. 'They will have a reasonable idea on how to use chlorine and other toxic chemicals as a terror weapon. 'This could happen on a train or tube or even at a big football match. Acquiring weapons and ammunition is very difficult in the UK but you can get up to 90 tonnes of chlorine without any licence. 'The authorities must keep a close eye on those fighters returning to the UK, especially if they have a background in chemistry, and in particular anybody buying toxic chemicals'. Chlorine was used 100 years ago during the 2nd Battle of Ypres in April 1915, where the gas was vapourised into a cloud. It is classified as a 'choking agent', burning the lungs when inhaled in large quantities. But it is nowhere near as dangerous as nerve gases like sarin. Mr de Bretton-Gordon says that chlorine is being used on an 'industrial scale' in Syria and Iraq but that taking simple steps would help people survive an attack. Chlorine is readily available in Britain, used in swimming pools and decontamination in industry. 'My working with UK charity Syria Relief has focused in Syria on giving civilians the basic know-how to avoid chlorine. The same advice applies to Britain,' he said . 'Chlorine is not very toxic and the green and yellow clouds are easy to see and avoid. It is very non-persistent only lasting for a few minutes. It was used in the First World War but dropped because it did not work very well. 'It is key that ISIS don’t get the advantage of an unexpected chemical attack in the UK. If you can hold your breath for 30 seconds and run in the opposite direction you will be okay. If outside you should aim to climb or reach higher ground. 'Also urinating on a cloth and holding it to your mouth will help because urine kills chlorine. 'I train people in Syria to be aware of which way the wind is blowing because chlorine can travel quickly on the wind, but it also means you can avoid it. 'If the attack was on the Tube, chlorine is heavier than air, so it would quickly drop to the tracks. It is the panic that would create the carnage, so it is important people are prepared for it. 'Chlorine attacks are very survivable and a lot less dangerous than bombs and bullets, if you use simple procedures. ‘Fear of toxic chemicals and chemical weapons is the killer not the toxicity of the agents. ‘It is 20 years since the sarin attack on the Tokyo underground, but it took three years and $10m dollars to create 1kg of sarin and I think it is highly unlikely that ISIS or anyone else has the capability to do that in Britain'. Evidence: A gas canister lies at the site of a bomb attack on a road between Mosul, Iraq, and the Syrian border in northern Iraq, believed to have been used by ISIS . Target: Experts fear that the Tube or other packed areas may be subject to attacks by ISIS militants in the UK . Crude roadside bombs filled with toxic chlorine gas are now being used by Islamic State terrorists, it has been claimed. Iraqi officials say government forces have defused dozens of the devices in the course of their war with the fanatics and have produced video footage which backs up their claim. Mr de Bretton-Gordon said: 'Islamic State are all over these chemical weapons. The big prize is Mosul, its capital in Iraq. Lose it and they lose the country and have to retreat to Syria. 'I believe they will do anything to hold Mosul, and this will include chemical weapons use'. One bomb disposal expert said that the use of the chemical is a sign of desperation as the Iraqi Army makes advances against IS in Saddam Hussein's home town of Tikrit. Haider Taher told the BBC: 'They're resorting to this new method, putting chlorine in these home-made roadside bombs, which is toxic to those that inhale it.' He described how his team detonated a bomb in Tikrit that, unbeknown to them, contained chlorine. They immediately began feeling the effects of the chemical, experiencing 'painful choking' and blocked throats. Jennifer Cole, Senior Research Fellow at defence think-tank Royal United Services Institute, told MailOnline that although chlorine can be lethal, it does appear that it's being used to spread fear by IS. She said: 'Chlorine is easily available from a number of industrial sources and is very hazardous – causing breathing difficulties in particular and in extreme cases prolonged exposure can kill. 'Used in roadside bombs such as this, in the open air, it disperses reasonably quickly and so appears to be intended to cause panic rather than serious harm.' Terror: Chlorine was first used in the First World War and because it is heavier than air the clouds of killer gas would drop into trenches and wipe out troops . Chlorine was used by the British in the First World War, but it proved to be unreliable. In one attack in 1915 the gas blew back into British trenches after canisters of the chemical were fired from heavy guns at the Germans. In Tikrit, Iraqi soldiers and militiamen have reportedly retaken areas and key sites in the north, south and west, including a police headquarters and a hospital. Some 23,000 personnel are believed to be involved in the operation, the biggest offensive against IS mounted by the government since the jihadist group captured large parts of the country last June. The U.N. Security Council recently approved a United States-drafted resolution that condemns the use of toxic chemicals such as chlorine in Syria, while threatening militarily enforced action in the case of further violations. Chlorine, a chemical used in industry and water purification process, was first introduced as a chemical weapon at Ypres in World War I with disastrous effects because gas masks were not easily available at the time. In 1915, at Ypres, Belgium, Germany opened thousands of canisters of chlorine upwind of Allied troops, condemning many to an agonising death. Jack Dorgan, of the Northumberland Fusiliers, was hurt in a 1915 gas attack and said: 'Our eyes were streaming with water and with pain. Luckily again for me I was one of those who could still see. But we had no protection, no gas masks or anything of that kind'. British private Harry Cox said: They gassed us. And how I got out of it, I went up a tree. All the others they all went down in the shallow in the trenches of course there they all laid out all sprawled out and suffering agonies. Actually the battalion was wiped out – there was only five really fit men left'. By 1918 chemical weapons had proliferated on both sides – including phosgene, cyanide and mustard gas. Horrified by the effects, 15 countries signed the Geneva Protocol. More severely affected individuals may suffer acute lung injury (ALI) and/or acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and one in 100 will die. In October, Iraqi officials said Islamic State (IS) militants used chlorine gas during fighting with security forces and Shiite militiamen in September north of Baghdad. In the attacks, about 40 troops and Shiite militiamen were slightly affected by the chlorine and showed symptoms consistent with chlorine poisoning, such as difficulty in breathing and coughing,. The troops were treated in hospital and quickly recovered. | Expert fear IS terrorists will target the Tube or sporting events in Britain .

The former Holland international, infamous for four bench-warming years at Chelsea, is one of 70 people who have registered their interest in becoming Lee Johnson's successor at Boundary Park. Bogarde, 44, won a Champions League with Ajax in 1995 but it is the the centre-back's lucrative stint at Stamford Bridge for which he is most remembered in this country.

Bogarde celebrates Champions League glory after Ajax beat AC Milan in Vienna in 1995 with team-mates (left-right) Finidi George, Michael Reiziger, Marc Overmars, Nwankwo Kanu, and captain Danny Blind . Picking up a reported £10m, he started just four games under Gianluca Vialli and Claudio Ranieri and spent his final season commuting from Amsterdam, catching the early flight into Heathrow and training with the youth team at Harlington before his eventual retirement. In 2011, Sportsmail revealed Bogarde was facing financial ruin after his £3.2m luxury home was repossessed. Oldham say they are in no rush to appoint a new man after Johnson left to join League One rivals Barnsley despite being only five points outside the play-offs with a game in hand on most others. They were hammered 4-0 at home by Preston North End on Saturday and head to Port Vale on Tuesday evening again under the guidance of caretaker boss Dean Holden and playing assistant Adam Lockwood. Lee Johnson left League One side Oldham to become manager of Barnsley last week . Oldham have spoken to lifelong fan Paul Scholes about taking the role but admit any agreement with the United legend is unlikely. Former boss Iain Dowie is a fans' favourite but whether the club could give him the funds he feels he needs to take them to the next level is doubtful. Others in the frame include ex-West Bromwich Albion manager Alan Irvine, former player Shefki Kuqi and ex-Manchester City coaches Scott Sellars and Steve Eyre. | Former Chelsea defender Winston Bogarde wants to be Oldham manager .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | After another meek surrender, the widespread belief that Everton are far too good to go down may have to be re-examined. Once again, Roberto Martinez's team were dramatically less than the collection of their parts and the amiable Spaniard seems unable to identify what is rotten in the core of his team. Goals in each half from Victor Moses – a long-range header no less – and Mame Biram Diouf deservedly gave Stoke City the points as Mark Hughes' side rose to eighth in the table, a remarkable 14 points ahead of their beleaguered visitors. Stoke winger Victor Moses (centre) rises up to head home his side's opening goal en route to a 2-0 victory against Everton . The on-loan Chelsea forward points to acknowledge supporters after handing his side a first-half lead . Stoke substitute Mame Biram Diouf sealed the win with late goal after reacting to Marko Arnautovic's rebound . Everton manager Roberto Martinez looks concerned with his side collecting only one win from their last 12 games . The statistics for Everton are damning. Just one win in 12 league games, just one league clean sheet away from Goodison Park since September. Ross Barkley, their bright young hope, was kept on the bench while those who played laboured. Poor Aaron Lennon was barracked mercilessly by the Stoke fans after he snubbed them in January to join Everton and was substituted after 60 forgettable minutes. Gareth Barry picked up his 10th booking of the season, and a record 106th of his career, and will miss the next two games against Newcastle and QPR. The speed the 34-year-old moved about the Britannia, that might be a blessing for everyone. What is perplexing is the individual quality on show for Everton. Established internationals like Tim Howard, Phil Jagielka, Seamus Coleman, James McCarthy, Romelu Lukaku and others are the reason they are the sole English survivors in the Europa League.

But standing just six points above the bottom three, an almost-inconceivable double – qualification for the Champions League and relegation to the Championship – is still possible. 'It is a tough and demanding period. But there is no such thing as fear, we showed last year we have a really talented squad. We have 30 points to fight for and we are going to give our lives to get as many as we can,' said Martinez. 'We are all disappointed, the fans, the players, everyone but we are going to recover for the next challenge which we are desperate to face. Everything that could go wrong did go wrong, that is what happens when you have negative momentum. But we are not looking down, we want to get as many points as we can.'

Everton fans seemed divided at the end, some booed and some encouraged their fallen idols. They will all be glad to see Leighton Baines back from injury in time to face Newcastle in their next league game on March 15. Without him, Everton's defence looked flimsy. After 32 minutes, Phil Bardsley's cross was met with a tremendous leap by Moses, who headed over Howard from 12 yards. Why Everton's centre-halves Jagielka and John Stones backed off to give Moses a free header was unclear and they immediately held a post-goal inquest. 'We restricted them to very few opportunites afterwards,' said Stoke boss Mark Hughes. Of those that did come, Lennon shot straight at Asmir Begovic and Romelu Lukaku dragged a shot wide, a feeble finish denoting a lack of confidence. Substitute Arouna Kone had the best shot which was well parried by Begovic. If anything, Stoke looked likelier to add a second once Diouf had replaced Peter Crouch, and so it proved. A quick Stoke counter-attack saw the ball cannon off Stones in Diouf's path. He led the charge with Marko Arnautovic and when the Austrian struck the post, Diouf followed up to prod in the rebound.

They let in just 39 in the whole of last season. 'We deserved it, Victor Moses was excellent, he showed strength to the end,' said a delighted Hughes. Stoke were everything Everton weren't, fully commmited to a gameplan. They even recovered from the loss of centre-half Philipp Wollscheid who limped off early, but it was Martinez who complained about the bad luck. 'Six of our 10 games left are at Goodison Park and that is a powerful tool for us,' he said in what was effectively a rallying cry for everyone at the club. Everton finished fifth last season and were predicted to make a tip at the Champions League. Instead they are relying on clubs like Burnley and QPR being worse than they are. 'This is a really talented squad but we are in a period where things are going wrong. The first time we allowed Stoke a cross into our box, they score from it from an unlikely source. We feel there was a foul on Phil Jagielka in the build-up for the second goal at a time when we were making chances.' Martinez talks a good game. Now his team have to play one.

This time, the Ferrari driver is doing the chasing - behind the Mercedes pair of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. Vettel used to be the man to beat, winning the title four years in a row with Red Bull. But Mercedes ended that dominance in crushing style last year and Vettel - who seemed isolated and despondent throughout the season - made the switch to Ferrari. 'The change felt right for me and it gives me a lot of joy,' Vettel said. 'My ambition is to be right there at the top again, not only for me but also in terms of the team. In this respect, we should make a perfect fit.' Sebastian Vettel enters the new Formula One season in the unusual position of being the outsider . The Ferrari driver is doing the chasing behind the Mercedes pair of Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg . The German also gets the chance to emulate his childhood idol, seven-time champion Michael Schumacher, who won the vast majority of his titles and his 91 GPs with Ferrari. The 27-year-old Vettel, who has 39 GP wins and 45 pole positions, clearly needed to get away from Red Bull. Vettel finished a dismal fifth in the drivers' standings, with no wins and just four podium places. The gap between him and Hamilton was a mammoth 217 points. Worse still, he was usurped by his junior team-mate, Daniel Ricciardo, who finished third and won three races. The timing seemed just right for Ferrari, too, which needed a change following two seasons of tensions with Fernando Alonso. Pre-season testing has been like a fresh start. Vettel takes part in pre-season testing at Circuit de Barcelona Catalunya in his new car last month . Vettel joined Ferrari in the off-season after many successful years at Red Bull . Vettel drives behind Mercedes driver Nico Rosberg during testing in Catalonia earlier this month . 'I feel very well. The tests so far have contributed a lot to that feeling,' Vettel said. 'Of course things take time, as growing into a team that works a bit differently requires that.' The positive tone was set at the first testing session in Jerez, with Vettel and teammate Kimi Raikkonen claiming the fastest time on three of the four test days as Ferrari announced its comeback in style. Overall, a reinvigorated Vettel completed more than 600 laps over the three winter testing sessions and Ferrari showed glimpses that it can challenge Mercedes for speed. Over the 12 days of testing, Ferrari completed 1,182 laps - the fourth most mileage of any team - and the second most by power unit behind Mercedes. 'The path to the very top right now still leads via Mercedes and it is our aim not only to draw level with them but to surpass them,' Vettel said. 'That is a very ambitious goal.'

Extract the Greek terms in the following paragraph, along with a short definition, in bullet points. | Meno (/ˈmiːnoʊ/; Greek: Μένων, Ménōn) is a Socratic dialogue by Plato. Meno begins the dialogue by asking Socrates whether virtue is taught, acquired by practice, or comes by nature. In order to determine whether virtue is teachable or not, Socrates tells Meno that they first need to determine what virtue is. When the characters speak of virtue, or rather arete, they refer to virtue in general, rather than particular virtues, such as justice or temperance. The first part of the work showcases Socratic dialectical style; Meno, unable to adequately define virtue, is reduced to confusion or aporia. Socrates suggests that they seek an adequate definition for virtue together. In response, Meno suggests that it is impossible to seek what one does not know, because one will be unable to determine whether one has found it.
Socrates challenges Meno's argument, often called "Meno's Paradox" or the "Learner's Paradox", by introducing the theory of knowledge as recollection (anamnesis). As presented in the dialogue, the theory proposes that souls are immortal and know all things in a disembodied state; learning in the embodied is actually a process of recollecting that which the soul knew before it came into a body. Socrates demonstrates recollection in action by posing a mathematical puzzle to one of Meno's slaves. Subsequently, Socrates and Meno return to the question of whether virtue is teachable, employing the method of hypothesis. Near the end of the dialogue, Meno poses another famous puzzle, called "The Meno Problem" or "The Value Problem for Knowledge", which questions why knowledge is valued more highly than true belief. In response, Socrates provides a famous and somewhat enigmatic distinction between knowledge and true belief. | - arete: virtues in general, i.e. instead of a particular virtue

Ms Taylor, 26, is the only woman competing on the World Rally Championship circuit - a competition in which 19 drivers have been killed since it began in the earlier 1970s. She has joined Brit Susie Wolff, the only female Formula One test driver in the world, as women at the top of their chosen sports, both traditionally dominate by men. Both women were born with racing pumping through their veins - their parents worked in the motorsports arena. Although it wasn't expected that they follow in their footsteps - they were certainly never discouraged to take up the male-dominated sport because they were female. Susie Wolff, who now lives in Switzerland, is the only female F1 test driver in the world . Susie Wolff poses with fans before the first practice session at the Formula One Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne . The 32-year-old (right) grew up in the rugged highlands on the west coast of Scotland and rode her first motorbike at the wee age of just two years old . Born and bred in Sydney, both Ms Taylor's parents were competitors in rally car driving but it was her mother who had the most prominent career as a co-driver for Toyota. 'As we were growing up she was the high profile person, even more than my father, so I didn't think that was weird,' she said. 'Dad was at home making our lunches for school while my mum was competing around the country, so I didn't really think that was anything abnormal - I just thought everyone's mums did that. 'So if you have that mindset from the start and then find what you love doing that's what you base it on and everything else happens around you.' Ms Taylor's first taste of being behind the wheel of a rally car was when she was learning to drive and her parents tested out her skills purely for safety purposes. Molly Taylor, 26, (left) and Susie Wolff, 32. (right) have accelerated to the top of their respective motorsports and don't plan on taking the foot of the pedal anytime soon . What a rush: Born and bred in Sydney, both of Ms Taylor's parents were competitors in rally car driving but it was her mother who had the most prominent career . 'I couldn't believe the adrenalin rush and how much fun it was,' she said. 'When you start to enjoy something you get competitive, and when you get competitive you want to win, and then once you win in that category you want to move up - and then you're hooked.' Daily Mail Australia was given exclusive access to Ms Taylor and Ms Wolff in the lead up to the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne - including a heart-stopping ride in the navigator's seat of Ms Taylor's rally car. The most impressive thing to witness was Ms Taylor's unflinching concentration and precisely honed skills, even with the car racing around the track at high speed, with dust flying and the engine screaming. Hundreds of thousands of hard-core rev heads gearing up for the Grand Prix in Melbourne this weekend . Endearingly unassuming about their success, these two know that they have excelled in their fields because they have worked hard - and not because they are just the token females in a man's world . Wolff, who now lives in Switzerland with her husband who heads the Mercedes Benz F1 team, started her love for all things fast not long before she could walk. The 32-year-old grew up in the rugged highlands on the west coast of Scotland and rode her first motorbike at the wee age of just two years old. 'My brother is only 18 months older so I was always of the belief that I could do anything he could do,' she said. Her father owned a motorbike shop and he met his wife-to-be when she walked into buy a set of wheels. Taylor's (right) first taste of being behind the wheel of a rally car was when she was learning to drive and her parents tested out her skills purely for safety purposes . 'When you start to enjoy something you get competitive, and when you get competitive you want to win, and then once you win in that category you want to move up - and then you're hooked,' the 26-year-old (right) said . Now she's a test driver for Williams Martini Racing team and the only woman on the F1 circuit. Ms Wolff said her parents never pressured her into following any particular - her brother, for example, became a film maker. 'I have so much respect for my parents that they allowed us to chase our dreams because we both dropped out of uni to follow our own path and I'll always be thankful for that,' she said. 'There is so much pressure to go along that standard path of go to university and get a job.' Taylor's parents had a similar attitude when their children were growing up. 'My parents would have been exactly the same if I wanted to be a rally driver or a pilot' she said. 'They were just always supportive of whatever my passion was - which happened to be the same as them.' It is believed many more women will climb the motorsport ladder over the years until it eventually becomes the norm . Both women have no doubt that being born with that competitive streak and instilled with a great determination and belief that they can do whatever they put their minds to has helped get them to where they are today. A sense of fearlessness is also very important as both women insist you can't allow that emotion to enter your head if you want to succeed. Taylor has only ever come away with a few scratches and bruises despite facing tough terrain for up to an entire day. 'The car gets hurt more than me - and my wallet hurts too,' Taylor said. 'The moment you are scared you are not thinking about the job.' Wolff echoed those words saying you can't afford to have fear when you are in control of the car. 'I respect that cars go fast and can be dangerous but if you get scared, it's time to stop because you are not concentrating,' she said. Both women have no doubt that being born with that competitive streak and instilled with a great determination and belief that they can do whatever they put their minds to has helped get them to where they are today . Endearingly unassuming about their success, they know that they have excelled in their fields because they have worked hard - and not because they are just the token females in a man's world. Taylor said she has only ever been supported in her career over the past decade. 'I think when I started I was just focused on what I wanted to do and if you come across and act professional and serious about what you do then there's no resistance and you get the same respect back and then you're treated as just one of the boys,' she said. Wolff believes that they are in their roles because they are simply the best people for the job. 'Racing is a very performance-based environment on and off the track,' she said. However, she admits the attention that females attract in the sport is a double-edged sword because the more the word gets out there, the more young girls will be inspired to jump on board. 'It's good that it has been brought across in a positive way but I'm not in racing to prove a point - I'm in racing because I found my passion and I love it.' They have watched the industry evolve over time and believe many more women will climb the motorsport ladder over the years until it eventually becomes the norm. Wolff said it takes generations to see that kind of change but it is happening. 'There are no clear role models - the little girls watching F1 don't see many women so there are not enough girls starting at a young age, she said. 'But I see it changing a lot in F1 - nobody came and said we need more women - the women just came in to do the best possible job,' she said. 'Now there's a lot more women in the paddock which means they were the best for the job.' Taylor is also seeing a significant shift in rally car driving. 'It's certainly something that's changing because it such a difficult sport - you have so many people that start out at the grassroots level and then that filters out as you get higher in the levels - so it's just a matter of time before we see more women progressing all the way up,' she said. | Motorsports have traditionally been male dominated, but not any more .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Lindsey Vonn may have missed out on gold at last month's world championships, but the American skier has set her sights on end-of-season glory after claiming a record-extending 65th World Cup win on Sunday. Vonn's victory in the super-G event at Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Germany gave her the outright lead in the speed discipline ahead of this month's finals in France. Having finished seventh in Saturday's downhill, the 30-year-old rebounded by coming home 0.2 seconds ahead of overall World Cup leader Tina Maze, whose coach set up the course. It put Vonn eight points ahead of super-G world champion Anna Fenninger, who placed third to give back the 20 points she'd earned over Maze the day before -- when their positions were reversed. "I think it was set probably against Anna," said Vonn, who took bronze behind Maze at last month's world championships in Colorado. "That was a wise choice by Tina's coach. But it also really suited me and I liked it." "It's going to be a close fight in downhill and super-G, so I will really have to ski my best at the finals in Meribel. Hopefully I can get two titles," added Vonn, who is 35 points ahead of Fenninger in the downhill standings. But Vonn is well off the pace in the fight for the overall crown -- which she last won in 2012, her fourth success -- in third place almost 200 points behind the Austrian. Maze is another 44 points ahead of Fenninger, with just two slalom events in Sweden next week before the March 16-22 finale. "Of course it's a great result but I prefer to win," the Slovenian said. "Lindsey was simply better today and she deserves this win. "My whole team stands behind me and supports me and I am really thankful to them. Valerio did a great job setting the course. It was a fast and nice course set with not too many turns." Fenninger, who also won the world giant slalom title at Beaver Creek, said she will focus on her strengths after claiming a 12th podium this season. "It was a fast super-G and that's maybe not what I am the best at," said the 25-year-old. "Overall it's been a good weekend. Honestly I thought Tina was going to be better than me in the downhill and that I would catch up in the super-G. It turned out to be different. "I am focusing on my strengths, this is why I am not going to race slalom next week. Now I have to train giant slalom in order to show my best skiing and maximize my chances to win the giant slalom globe." Meanwhile, Kjetil Jansrud clinched the men's Super-G title with victory on home snow in in Kvitfjell on Sunday. The Norwegian, who missed out on securing the downhill crystal globe when he finished seventh on Saturday, opened up an unassailable 123-point lead over Italian Dominik Paris. "This is the first globe of my career," said the 29-year-old. "It's good to not have to go into the final weekend feeling like there are two guys pushing me on the cup and I have to fend off both of them. That's a big thing because I can leave the super-G and focus on the downhill." Jansrud has a 20-point lead over Hannes Reichelt in the downhill, but is less confident of overhauling his 52-point deficit on another Austrian, three-time defending champion Marcel Hirscher, in the overall standings. The men next travel to Slovenia for slalom events next weekend. "I think he will gain some extra points in Kranjska Gora, so I'm not very concerned about the overall," Jansrud said of Hirscher. "I think he'll pull through. But it might get exciting. He has no room for error and anything can happen." | Lindsey Vonn notches the 65th World Cup win of her skiing career .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Hong Kong (CNN)Nestled in a tranquil hillside, Hong Kong's newest Buddhist monastery features bulletproof VIP rooms and the world's second tallest statue of the Goddess of Mercy -- a Buddhist deity. The monastery is funded entirely by Asia's richest man, Li Ka-shing, who contributed $193 million from his personal foundation to the building project. The premises, styled on Tang dynasty buildings, sprawl across a lush, green area of 500,000 square feet - around nine football fields. It can accommodate up to 400 to 500 visitors daily, but will not be open to tour groups in order to preserve the sacred atmosphere. Li initiated the project in 2003 to promote Buddhism in the city and construction took five years to complete. At a height of 76 meters (250 feet), the Goddess of Mercy statue overlooks the site and a breathtaking view of Hong Kong's harbor and several islands. The monastery also features several grand halls, including one which houses three ornate 24-karat gold plated Buddhist statues, where people can meditate, and learn about Buddhism. But perhaps the most intriguing feature is the bulletproof dormitory rooms. One of the three dormitories that provide housing for visiting monks from all over world has built-in bulletproof windows to protect "important guests." "We installed the bulletproof glass windows because we hoped there could be a place to protect our important guests such as the Supreme Patriarch of Thailand and other top monks," Walter Ngai Kai-shu, secretary general of the monastery told local media. The rooms are still empty, and Ngai added that they were not designed for Li or any specific individual, reported the South China Morning Post. Visitors are not allowed to bring joss sticks, meat, alcohol, or other food offerings in order to be environmentally friendly --- instead the monastery will provide water. "There are many other ways to offer the Buddha apart from joss sticks," Ngai told local media. Currently, a dozen monks, mainly from Hong Kong and Southeast Asia reside inside the monastery. It will be open to the public on April 15, but registration and booking is now available online.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | As speculation mounts over whether Tiger Woods will compete at the Masters next month, the former world No 1 has spurned the chance to play in the Houston Open, the final PGA Tour event before the year's first major. Woods' name was conspicuously absent when the list of players for the Houston event next week was posted on Friday. Should Woods decide to tee it up at the Masters, which starts on April 9, he would do so after not competing for 63 days. Woods, the 14-time major winner, has struggled to find any form this year . A four-time Masters champion whose ranking has plummeted to 96th, Woods has played only twice on the 2014-15 PGA Tour and said he would not return until his game was 'tournament-ready'. He missed the Masters last year for the first time in his career after being advised by doctors to have back surgery and his participation next month is in serious doubt given his struggle for form and fitness. Woods posted the highest score of his professional career, a mind-boggling 11-over-par 82, to miss the cut at the Phoenix Open in January, and many pundits believe he is suffering from the chipping 'yips'. He withdrew from the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines early last month after 11 holes because of tightness in his back, and he is still adapting to the fifth swing change of his career. Woods is currently on an indefinite break from the sport but aims to qualify for the 2016 Ryder Cup . Earlier this week, Woods' good friend Notah Begay III rated the former world number one's chances of taking part in the Masters as '50-50'. 'It's literally a 50-50 chance right now from what I can tell,' said Begay, a television analyst with Golf Channel who played with Woods on the Stanford University golf team. 'That's far better odds than what it was, say, three weeks ago. Three weeks ago, I would have said there was maybe a 1-in-10 chance of him playing at Augusta.' One thing in Woods' favour is his huge comfort factor at Augusta National where in 2010 he tied for fourth at the Masters after not playing competitive golf for five months. He took an indefinite break from the game in late 2009, as his private life spectacularly unravelled, to try to repair his marriage amid revelations about his extra-marital affairs. 'He knows his way around the Augusta,' Northern Irish world number Rory McIlroy said earlier this month. 'If he feels ready to play and he does play then he knows what to do when there.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A herbal treatment nicknamed ‘pig pungent weed’ has become the first traditional Chinese medicine to be approved for use in the UK. The plant Sigesbeckia, which has an unpleasant smell, is renowned for its ability to treat aches and pains – including those caused by arthritis. It is the active ingredient in Phynova Joint and Muscle Relief Tablets, which have just been licensed by drug safety watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency. Healing power: Sigesbeckia is the active ingredient in a new drug which have just been licensed by safety watchdog the Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency . The tablets are expected to go on sale online within the next month. Many herbal products have vanished from sale in recent years after a 2004 EU directive banned any medicines that were not licensed from being sold. The directive also made it more difficult for medicines to get a licence as it demanded they had to have been in use for 30 years, of which at least 15 years had to be in the EU. Some Western herbal medicines have managed to gain licences in a process costing thousands of pounds to verify their ingredients. But the Phynova tablets are the first traditional Chinese medicine to be approved. Robert Miller, chief executive of Oxford-based Phynova, said he was ‘extremely proud’, adding: ‘This has come from years of working with our Chinese colleagues. Helping weed: Sigesbeckia is renowned for its ability to treat aches and pains caused by arthritis . ‘Britain can now benefit from having access to high quality, regulated Chinese medicines.’ He also said that the company is planning to apply for a licence for a second traditional Chinese medicine, a cold and flu remedy. Dr Chris Etheridge, a medical herbalist and adviser to Potter’s Herbals, celebrated the ‘good news’, adding that Sigesbeckia, which is not commonly used in the West, ‘offers an alternative to those who prefer not to take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs for muscle and joint pain’. But Michael McIntyre, chairman of the European Herbal and Traditional Medicine Practitioners Association, warned that the new product demonstrates the difficulties the EU rules created for supplying herbal products safely to the public. He said it is ‘almost impossible to satisfy the licensing conditions’. He added that some people have therefore turned to the internet to buy unlicensed products, but this means they have ‘no idea whether they are safe or effective’. According to figures from market researchers Ipsos MORI, at least six million Britons have consulted a Western or traditional Chinese herbal practitioner in the last two years. | Drug containing ‘pig pungent weed’ has just been licensed .

Generate a summary of the text | When Sunderland manager Gus Poyet lost his temper and took out his anger on a cooler box before picking a fight with Hull City boss Steve Bruce, it brought back memories of many a touchline scrap. The technical area of the KC Stadium seems to have a way of bringing out the worst in managers - only last year Alan Pardew attempted a headbutt on Hull's David Meyler. So, with Tuesday night's flare-up in mind, Sportsmail looks back at our top 10 technical area spats. Hull boss Steve Bruce and Sunderland's Gus Poyet played down their spat and have now shaken hands . Bruce is held back by the assistant referee during his clash with Poyet on the touchline . Things turned sour when Bruce and Poyet began a slanging match and had to be pulled apart . As the pair locked horns Bruce makes sure he gets his point across by bellowing in Poyet's direction . Alan Pardew swears at Manuel Pellegrini, January 11, 2014 . The sight of a 52-year-old man calling a 60-year-old a 'f***ing old c***' seemed to shock many - and Pardew later apologised for his 'heat-of-the-moment' outburst. A Newcastle goal disallowed for offside while Pellegrini's Manchester City were 1-0 up prompted the row between the two bosses and as the fourth official looked to separate them Pardew had a pop at his opposite number. The FA 'reminded him of his responsibilites' - a bit of a let-off for the man now in charge of Crystal Palace. Alan Pardew (centre) and Manuel Pellegrini clashed over a disallowed goal back in 2014 . Martin Jol and Arsene Wenger let off steam, April 22, 2006 . For such a usually mild-mannered man, Wenger does seem to get into his fair share of rows with other managers - and on this occasion it was Tottenham's Martin Jol. Jol's side refused to put the ball out in the build-up to Robbie Keane scoring an opening goal at Highbury while Arsenal had a man down. This infuriated Wenger, who was challenged on his views by Jol. They were separated by the fourth official but Wenger still had to go back for one last pop at Jol - and he perhaps had the last laugh with Arsenal equalising and eventually pipping Spurs to fourth place in the Premier League by two points. Arsene Wenger (left) and Martin Jol had a disagreement over putting the ball out of play for an injury . Jose Mourinho vs Arsene Wenger, October 5, 2014 . These two have history dating back 11 years, and they still don't seem to get on to this day. Mourinho's arrival in the Premier League back in 2004, when Wenger's Arsenal were champions, heralded the end of the north London club's annual title hopes - and Mourinho certainly has a way of getting under his opposite number's skin. Just over 12 months after his return to the Premier League in 2013 and he was winding up Wenger again. The Frenchman took exception to Gary Cahill's challenge on Alexis Sanchez in a 2-0 Chelsea win at Stamford Bridge and stepped into Mourinho's allocated area. Some verbals from the Special One saw the pair come face-to-face before Wenger pushed the Blues boss in the chest. He later said he had 'nothing to apologise for'. Wenger pushes Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho during Chelsea's clash with Arsenal this season . Mourinho was furious with Wenger's behaviour and even brings up the lack of punishment to this day . The pair have history and have consistently rowed since Mourinho arrived in England back in 2004 . Kenny Dalglish tells Arsene Wenger to 'f*** off', April 17, 2011 . The third of a Wenger trio of incidents - but on this occasion he was remarkably restrained. Arsenal looked to have kept their title hopes alive at the Emirates Stadium with a Robin van Persie penalty eight minutes into stoppage time but Dirk Kuyt kept his cool to slot in a 102nd-minute spot-kick to level things and effectively hand the title to Manchester United. Liverpool manager Dalglish wasn't too happy with Wenger's touchline protests and at the whistle after Kuyt converted he approached the Arsenal boss with his arms outstretched and shouted 'It's a penalty, p*** off!' before adding 'It's a penalty, f*** off!'. It's fair to say he got his point across. David Moyes takes on Roberto Mancini, March 25, 2010 . Moyes was criticised for his lack of results against big clubs but on this occasion his Everton side managed a win at the Etihad Stadium - and wound up his opposite number at the same time. Both managers were sent off following a physical confrontation with Mancini trying to barge Moyes out of the way and then seeing the Scot square up to him. They were escorted down the tunnel by police such was the animosity. However, the pair shook hands after being told they had to share a lift to watch the rest of the game from the upper tier. Awkward. Roberto Mancini pushes David Moyes during their spells as Manchester City and Everton managers . Referee Peter Walton saw the stoppage-time clash worthy of sending both managers to the stands . Ally McCoist and Neil Lennon square up, March 2, 2011 . Old firm clashes always tend to be heated occasions, whether in the stands or on the field, but McCoist and Lennon extended the rowing into the technical area back in 2011. Three red cards, 13 cautions and 34 arrests at Celtic Park told the story of the afternoon and McCoist angered the home dugout with something he said at the final whistle. The two squared up and pushed each other before being pulled apart. McCoist got a two-match ban for his troubles while Lennon's previous record saw him take a four-game suspension, but the Northern Irishman would have been the happier after a 1-0 win. Neil Lennon makes his point clear to Rangers assistant manager Ally McCoist on the Celtic Park touchline . Nigel Pearson's grip on James McArthur, February 7, 2015 . Even a month on, nobody really seems to understand what was going through Pearson's head on the touchline at the King Power Stadium. What started out as a jokey exchange suddenly became more sinister as the Leicester boss seemed to pin down the Crystal Palace midfielder by the throat as he looked to resume play with a throw-in. The fact that Pearson had failed in a bid to sign McArthur a few months back added to the confusion. Pearson appeared to grab McArthur around the throat and the floored player was seen mouthing 'get off me'. Things got even more strange in the aftermath when Pearson dismissed the incident as 'light-hearted' and told journalists that he could 'look after himself' and then seemed close to the sack before eventually keeping his job. Nigel Pearson clashed with James McArthur when Leicester hosted Crystal Palace last month . Leicester City boss Pearson (left) appears to put his hands towards the neck of McArthur in February . Jose Mourinho's gouge on Tito Vilanova, August 17, 2011 . It's a rare occasion that the Special One admits he was in the wrong, but he did here, which gives you an idea of how shameful his actions were towards Pep Guardiola's then-assistant. During a familiar Spanish Super Cup El Clasico clash, Mourinho stole up behind Vilanova while a touchline row was already going on and jabbed a finger into his eye. Vilanova shoved back and both were handed bans. 'I should not have done what I did, obviously not,' Mourinho later said. 'The person who messed up there was me.' Joe Jordan rows with Gennaro Gattuso, February 16, 2011 . Recognised as two hard-nuts of the game, not many people were keen to get between Gattuso and Jordan as they rowed at the San Siro. Having been beaten by Tottenham at home in the Champions League, Gattuso seemed to want to distract from the defeat by picking on the Spurs bench. A fierce full-time shouting match between the two ended with the Italian grabbing the Spurs man by the throat before aiming a headbutt at him. Gattuso got a four-match ban, but given Jordan's record as a player he was probably lucky Harry Redknapp's No 2 didn't have a go back - and the Tottenham manager admitted as much.

Pardew, then Newcastle United boss, was sent to the stands after headbutting Hull City's David Meyler at the KC Stadium. With the Magpies 3-1 up, Meyler shoved past Pardew as he went to retrieve the ball for a throw-in - and the Newcastle boss was unimpressed, coming together with the Hull player and pushing his head into his face. He received a £100,000 fine from his club, £60,000 from the FA, was given a formal warning by Newcastle and was slapped with a three-match stadium ban and a touchline ban for a further four games by the Football Association. Pardew's punishment represented the longest ban for a manager in England since 1989 - and he also underwent anger management counselling in the aftermath.

Robert Thompson, 83, of Baltimore, has become 'obsessed' with the murder of his brother Tommy Thompson July 27, 1981. 'This is my last chance. All my brothers are dead. I'm the only one who can do this because I'm the only one left,'' he said of the cold case. Scroll down for video .

Robert (left) and Tommy (right) were close during their childhood and served together in the Korean War . Tommy Thomspon, 51, was found shot multiple times in his van after the unknown assailant entered the vehicle and forced him to drive, police say, according to the Baltimore Sun. The victim, who was shot with a .22 handgun in the stomach, leg and head, had been going to pick up Chinese takeout in Baltimore's Charles Village neighborhood for dinner with his wife. A suspect described as a thin, black, 5'10'' man with large sideburns was seen leaving the vehicle after it hit a fire hydrant, leaving Tommy Thompson inside. He had surgery to save his life, but died the next day, leaving behind four children. Robert Thompson is now looking to find the man who killed his brother, who he was close to in their childhood.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The FBI is asking detectives across the country to dust off their cold case murder files and see whether millionaire heir Robert Durst could be connected to any other unsolved crimes. Durst, the focus of HBO's true crime documentary series "The Jinx," was charged with first-degree murder last week in the 2000 killing of his longtime confidante, Susan Berman. Now the FBI is putting out a call to local authorities to examine cold cases in locations near where Durst lived over the past five decades, a U.S. law enforcement official said. Unsolved cases in Vermont, upstate New York, the San Francisco Bay area and Southern California are among those getting a new look, the official said. Durst's attorney, Dick DeGuerin, said it's a sign that authorities are desperate. "They seem to be going to such great lengths to pin something else on him," DeGuerin said. "They must not have much of a case to begin with." Durst, who authorities believe has a net worth of $100 million, has lived in numerous places and owned property in at least four states, according to court documents and public records. In "The Jinx," Durst describes the time he spent living in Vermont with his first wife, Kathleen, running a health food store in the 1970s. In 1982, Kathleen McCormack Durst went missing. Durst says he last saw her when he dropped her off at a train station in Katonah, New York, and she headed to their Manhattan apartment. Her family members say they believe she's dead and that Durst is the one to blame. The case has never been solved. He's also lived in Galveston, Texas, where he admitted to shooting a neighbor and dismembering the body in 2001. He was acquitted in a 2003 murder trial after arguing he'd acted in self-defense. Last week, police searched condos Durst owns in Houston as part of the investigation into Berman's death. She was shot dead in December 2000 in her Beverly Hills, California, home. Investigators know Durst was in California the week Berman died. It's a detail Durst shrugs off in the HBO documentary, in which he denied he had anything to do with Berman's death and said, "California's a big state." Authorities investigating a decades-old cold case in Vermont said Monday that there's a connection between Durst and the case of Lynne Schulze, a college student who disappeared from Middlebury College in 1971. "We are aware of the connection between the disappearance of Lynne Schulze and Robert Durst," Middlebury Police Capt. Tom Hanley said. "We have been aware of this connection for several years and have been working with various outside agencies as we follow this lead." Hanley elaborated Tuesday on the nature of the connection, saying Durst owned a health food store where Schulze shopped the day she disappeared. But there is no evidence the two had met, Hanley said. DeGuerin's attorney brushed off the accusation Monday. "You know, he may have been in Chicago when Jimmy Hoffa disappeared," he said. "He's an easy target." The name of the health food store, "All Good Things," was also the title of a 2010 film starring Ryan Gosling and Kirsten Dunst that was a thinly veiled fictional take on the Durst case. After seeing the film, Durst reached out to director Andrew Jarecki and said he wanted to be interviewed. The interviews with Durst became the basis for "The Jinx." Durst says in the documentary that he had traveled during the week of Berman's death to Trinidad, California, a small coastal city in northern California. "It was very rural, very pretty," he says. And it was a place, Durst says, where he lived "off and on." In Eureka, about 20 miles south, Durst has been part of another investigation. Authorities there say they haven't ruled out the possibility he could be connected to the disappearance of Karen Mitchell, who went missing in November 1997 when she was 16 years old. The police chief said investigators were interested in learning what Durst has to say about that case now that he's behind bars. "We are certainly interested in any information that may or may not come out of interviews with Mr. Durst," Police Chief Andy Mills said. "If information comes to us that allows us to further our investigation, then we will certainly take the opportunity to do that." According to local news reports at the time of Mitchell's disappearance, she was last seen leaning into a light blue car that she might have gotten into. A witness gave police a description of the man behind the wheel, which resulted in a sketch of a gray-haired man with glasses -- a drawing that journalist Matt Birkbeck says looks remarkably like Durst. "He wears these wide-rim glasses. He was wearing those glasses back in the day and it's also in the composite," said Birkbeck, whose book, "A Deadly Secret," chronicles Durst's life and run-ins with the law. "Durst apparently knew Karen Mitchell. Karen had volunteered at a homeless shelter in Eureka, which Durst had frequented, which he had a habit of doing in different cities," Birkbeck said. He'd also gone to a shoe store that Mitchell's aunt ran at a mall in Eureka, Birkbeck said. The former lead investigator on the case, Dave Parris, retired several years ago and could not be reached for comment. In 2003, he told The Journal News that there were similarities between Durst and the composite sketch. "He's a lead we're following," Parris told the newspaper, "and with all the information we've learned about him, I'm not fully comfortable that I can eliminate him from our investigation at this point." Investigators looking at other cases across the country have their work cut out for them, Birkbeck said. "In 2002, when my book was first published, we reported that police found six addresses in the San Francisco Bay area alone. Some of them were properties, some of them were post offices, some of them were warehouse facilities. There were other address in Northern California, Southern California, as well as other parts of the country," he told CNN's "Erin Burnett: Outfront." But the investigation is nothing new, he said. "They've been looking at this for several years now," he said. "I guess with recent events, they've really expanded their scope." CNN's Jean Casarez contributed to this report. | Police say Robert Durst owned a store in Vermont at time college student disappeared .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Atlanta (CNN)As U.S. Air Force fighter jets and bombers carry out airstrikes against ISIS in Iraq and Syria, Air Force officials are waging a campaign of their own on Capitol Hill. The target: Sequestration cuts expected to take effect in 2016 that, officials say, will threaten U.S. air superiority. Air Force Secretary Deborah James told lawmakers last month that "enough is enough" when it comes to downsizing the Air Force, defending President Obama's $534 billion Pentagon base budget request to the defense appropriations subcommittee. "Given the state of the world ... the No. 1 thing we have to stop is this downsizing," James said. Despite the concerns of defense officials, lawmakers insisted that $10 billion will need to be cut from the Air Force's portion of the President's proposed budget, which, in total, exceeds spending caps by nearly $35 billion. Rep. Tom Cole, R-Oklahoma, called the President's base budget "a fantasy" but expressed a desire to find a bipartisan compromise to provide some relief from spending caps instituted in 2013 after budget disagreements between President Obama and Congress. Until a compromise is reached, Cole said the committee will have to make "a lot of tough decisions" related to cutting billions from the Air Force's spending request. But will cuts actually threaten the United States' standing as the most modern and capable air fleet on the planet? Despite writing the blueprint on how to build the world's greatest air force, Gen. Mark Welsh, the Air Force's chief of staff, says the United States will not be able to maintain the Air Force's strategic gains once next year's sequestration cuts take effect. He says other nations are now using the U.S. model to build their own air fleets, a trend that could degrade the strategic advantage U.S. air superiority provides to the military. However, some experts say that downsizing the Air Force and even cutting its budget won't necessarily threaten U.S. air dominance. Jerry Hendrix, the director of the defense strategies and assessments program at the Center for a New American Security and a former Navy captain, says the United States is still comfortably ahead of every other nation in terms of overall air capabilities. Despite the fact that the U.S. Air Force has a quarter of the number of fighter squadrons it did 25 years ago, it is still larger than the air forces of the next seven countries combined, said Hendrix. It is also the only nation with an operational fifth-generation fighter jet. Air Force officials argue that the force is currently older and smaller than it has ever been and that further budget cuts would hinder its ability to modernize and maintain effective command structure. "The option of not modernizing isn't really an option at all," Welsh said. "Air forces that fall behind the technology curve and joint forces without the full breadth of air, space and cyber power ... will lose." The irony lies in that the Air Force's emphasis on investing in a fleet solely made up of high-end aircraft may be one of the key factors drawing down the size of the force, says Hendrix. He agrees that more spending should be shifted toward air and maritime power due to their increasing roles in U.S. military strategy but says mistakes were made in terms of how the Air Force has balanced its commitment to maintaining the size of the fleet with its desire to modernize. "Air Force leadership has failed to balance the idea that quantity has a quality of its own," he said, adding that the Air Force should still pursue high-end aircraft but should supplement the fleet with older, cheaper aircraft models, like the F-16, for low-end operations instead of immediately phasing them out when a new generation is introduced. In order for the Air Force to maintain air superiority, Hendrix says, officials and lawmakers need to start having a real conversation about the best way to mitigate downsizing that also promotes modernization. Then they need to work out a budget and find a way to work within it. | Secretary Deborah James said "enough is enough" when it comes to downsizing Air Force . $10 billion will need to be cut from the Air Force's portion of the President's proposed budget .

However, the manner of the FA taking the lead on raising the teams infuriated Wales, especially, and Northern Ireland, leading to a stormy meeting between officials at the IFAB summit in Belfast last Friday. Scotland were less concerned because of their long, unequivocal opposition to the GB football format, which they see as a threat to their independence within FIFA. The main sensitivity with the Welsh and the Irish was why the FA had the divine right to be the national association with the football seat on the British Olympic Association since its inception in 1905.

What is Photosynthesis | Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities. Some of this chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars and starches, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phōs (φῶς), "light", and synthesis (σύνθεσις), "putting together". Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called Photoautotroph. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth. | Photosynthesis is performed differently by different species but the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centers that contain green chlorophyll (and other colored) pigments/chromophores. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas. The hydrogen freed by the splitting of water is used in the creation of two further compounds that serve as short-term stores of energy, enabling its transfer to drive other reactions: these compounds are reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "energy currency" of cells.
In plants, algae and cyanobacteria, sugars are synthesized by a subsequent sequence of light-independent reactions called the Calvin cycle. In the Calvin cycle, atmospheric carbon dioxide is incorporated into already existing organic carbon compounds, such as ribulose bisphosphate (RuBP). Using the ATP and NADPH produced by the light-dependent reactions, the resulting compounds are then reduced and removed to form further carbohydrates, such as glucose. In other bacteria, different mechanisms such as the reverse Krebs cycle are used to achieve the same end. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | I just loved seeing Danny Welbeck celebrate his goal. It is a load of tosh when a former player doesn’t celebrate against his old team. Goalscoring is why we play/watch/support — and it’s a while since Danny scored one! United didn’t want to keep him, he left for Arsenal and here he was back at Old Trafford scoring a predatory winner. Danny Welbeck rounded David De Gea to score Arsenal's winner against Manchester United . Welbeck latched on to an weak pass from Antonio Valencia to take the ball past De Gea and score . Welbeck (left) celebrated his goal at Old Trafford despite the fact he used to play for United . Of course he should enjoy it. Before his goal, watching Danny for an hour was awkward TV. The ball was bouncing away from him. He looked desperate at times. Even when he went down in the box, I thought he could have gone on to get a shot away. How much did he want to get into that position to shoot? If you look at Chelsea striker Diego Costa, he just lives for the chances, but as soon as the ball drops for Danny, it’s as if you can hear his pulse racing through the TV and nerves get the better of him. There are lots of things you can work on in football, but goalscorers have that ice in their veins, like Robbie Fowler, Alan Shearer or Thierry Henry. It was staggering that Louis van Gaal did not turn to Radamel Falcao. The poor lad must be thinking: What am I doing here? Louis van Gaal did not use striker Falcao to rescue the game against Arsenal at Old Trafford . Michael Carrick (right) was brought on at half-time but Colombia forward Falcao was unused . I know he is not the player Manchester United thought they were getting, but isn’t it down to the manager to get the best out of him? Goalscorers change games but instead they chased the match with Daley Blind and Michael Carrick, two sitting midfielders, on the pitch. The defending from United for Arsenal’s first goal was unbelievable! Yes, it was a fantastic goal for Arsenal but the defending from United was scandalous.That’s not about tactics, that’s players needing to tackle. Three United players failed to stop Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain as he ran at them and Antonio Valencia – who was playing at right back – turned his back on the Arsenal player. Nacho Monreal wheels away to celebrate scoring Arsenal's first goal against United at Old Trafford . Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain breezed through the United defence to provide an assist for the Monreal goal . You cannot do that. Roy Keane was in the studio but he must have been thinking he should be putting his boots back on. Even Roy, at 43,would have put up more resistance. Oxlade-Chamberlain does very well, driving forward and creating the opening (it was nice skill from Mesut Ozil in the build up too), but they cannot be allowed to do that. This fixture used to have Keane v Vieira, but these two midfields were packed with different players and nobody more bold than Santi Cazorla. Santi Cazorla (second right) was in inspirational form as Arsenal secured a place in the FA Cup semi-final . He doesn’t crash into tackles, but he has a different type of courage; courage on the ball. He’ll take it in tight areas, uses both feet and always likes to get the play moving. I could watch him all day. Arsenal were shot to pieces in the 3-1 defeat by Monaco and if it had been down to me, Per Mertesacker would never have played for them again after his display that night. But his performance at Old Trafford showed character and a welcome return to form. Per Mertesacker (left) and Francis Coquelin (right) were particularly impressive for Arsenal at Old Trafford . Francis Coquelin is another who stood out here. Luke Shaw will come through this, but he is playing like he has the handbrake on. Is he being overcoached? What has happened to the marauding full back who played with such freedom for Southampton? He is only 19 and he will come again, but the player Manchester United signed for £30million would hit crosses on the run and did his best work at the top end of the pitch. He isn’t doing that now. It looks to me as if he’s thinking too much and that will be down to him trying to carry out instructions. Luke Shaw didn't enjoy his best night for United and has struggled to recapture his Southampton form . Marouane Fellaini's tireless work for United made him one of their standout players against Arsenal . He is going to be a star, but when you consider how Nathaniel Clyne is developing, why isn’t Shaw doing the same? He is a young man, who has had his injuries, but he is struggling and was taken off at half-time in a reshuffle that ultimately didn’t pay off. It is strange watching United and when their best player is Marouane Fellaini then it shows where they are. I’m not a Fellaini fan, but he is working hard and looks the player most likely to get them out of this hole.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Great players with baggage like Yaya Toure are always worth the aggro when they are on top of their game. But when their form dips and yet they remain high maintenance, there is only ever one outcome. It happened to Roy Keane whose tantrums and outbursts were tolerated by Sir Alex Ferguson at Manchester United until the moment he no longer justified his place in the team. After the embarrassing mis-match in the Nou Camp when Barcelona could have scored at least six against Manchester City, you feel that time is rapidly running out for Toure and others like Vincent Kompany and Edin Dzeko. This summer will surely see a major transfusion of personnel at the Etihad if they are to challenge Europe's best. Midfielder Yaya Toure struggled to impress as City crashed out of the Champions League to Barcelona . City were happy to put up with the baggage that came with Toure (right) while he was performing at his best . City captain and defender Vincent Kompany (right) contests for the ball alongside Barcelona's Luis Suarez . Defender Pablo Zabaleta has been left out of City's team for their biggest games this season . Toure became the Premier League's best-paid player when he signed for Roberto Mancini from Barcelona in 2010. In domestic football, he has been an unqualified success and scored 24 goals last season as City won their second championship. His world-class strike against Sunderland at Wembley won Manuel Pellegrini the Capital One Cup. When things were rosy, the club were happy to overlook constant talk about him being linked with other clubs, his pushiness to secure improved contracts and a farcical stand-off about not being treated with enough respect on his birthday. Premier League managers felt the midfielder didn't do enough of the hard yards to protect City defensively but they were unable to capitalise much because when Yaya had the ball he was an unstoppable force of nature. But those days have gone and the 31-year-old's hapless showing against Barcelona as City crashed out of the Champions League underlined he is not the man to push the club forward any more. His dereliction of duty to allow Ivan Rakitic the space to score Barca's winner was noted immediately. Going forward, his shooting was wayward and he was taken off before the end by Pellegrini – unthinkable one or two years ago. Remember, Toure had been banned for the previous three games in Europe and this was his big chance to show the world what he was still capable of. The club are in no hurry to offer the current African Player of the Year a new deal at anything like the £240,000-a-week terms of his last contract. Indeed, with Financial Fair Play now increasingly important, the temptation to offload him and his wages to Inter Milan this summer to allow new blood is very tempting. Striker Edin Dzeko could be considered as dispensable by City in the summer if they have an overhaul . Joe Hart (right) was in inspired form during Manchester City's 1-0 defeat to Barcelona on Wednesday . Striker Sergio Aguero (left) missed a penalty as City were eliminated 3-1 on aggregate by Barcelona . City defender Martin Demichelis (left) challenges Messi of Barcelona for possession of the ball . City's failure to reach Europe's last eight under their Abu Dhabi owners will create a major rethink at the club this summer. All their marquee names like Sergio Aguero and David Silva were signed before Pellegrini's arrival in 2013. While their rivals are signing young, hungry, world-class players like Eden Hazard, Alexis Sanchez and Philippe Coutinho, City looked ageing and stilted in the Nou Camp. Toure symbolises the malaise but he's not the only one. Skipper Vincent Kompany has been off the boil all season and can no longer lead while his personal form is so patchy. At 30 years old, Pablo Zabaleta is still able to cope with run-of-the-mill league games but it's interesting he has been left out of the really big matches like Chelsea away and Barcelona away. Edin Dzeko isn't going to get any better, neither is Martin Demichelis or Aleksandar Kolarov. If they stay at City, they will only be squad players and in the case of Dzeko in particular his wages are astronomical compared with strikers at other clubs. The new signings from Txiki Begiristain have been flops. Fernando, Eliaquim Mangala and Wilfried Bony cost £72million and yet none of them are considered good enough to start.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | When Gus Poyet lost his temper and took out his anger on a cooler box — emptying dozens of drinks bottles and scattering ice on the touchline — it was in protest at so much more than Jack Rodwell’s booking for diving. The yellow was merely the tipping point which made the Uruguayan see red. Rather, there was frustration at the rapid unravelling of Sunderland’s season and his reputation. He chose to take it out on Steve Bruce, marching over to the Hull boss in apparent offering of a friendly handshake before sarcastically applauding in his face. Bruce, understandably, reacted and only the intervention of the assistant referee prevented a physical confrontation. Hull boss Steve Bruce and Sunderland manager Gus Poyet were on good terms before the crucial game . However things turned sour when Bruce and Poyet began a slanging match and had to be pulled apart . Bruce appeared to take exception to Poyet's sarcastic applause of a referring decision by Mike Dean . The two managers are restrained by match officials who try desperately to keep them away from each other . All eyes were on the technical area as the opposing bosses threatened to come together . Poyet had lost his head. Twenty-four hours earlier he had lost star winger Adam Johnson — his four-goal top scorer — after his arrest on suspicion of sexual activity with an underage girl. He responded by naming four central-midfielders in a 4-4-2 system. It was a bizarre decision which smacked of protest at what he perceives to be a lack of attacking options provided by the club’s hierarchy. That they escaped with a draw was more to do with good fortune, Rodwell’s late equaliser having appeared to go in via his arm. The linesman cuts across an incensed Bruce as Poyet turns his back on the Hull manager . As the pair locked horns Bruce makes sure he gets his point across by bellowing in Poyet's direction . But there was enough to worry followers of the Black Cats after another insipid display. As for Poyet’s indiscipline, it soon spread through the team. Lee Cattermole was booked for a blatant kick on David Meyler in the second half and will miss the next two matches. He was substituted moments later. Earlier there had been a reckless lunge by Liam Bridcutt, for which he was lucky not to be sent off and Wes Brown could have seen red for the foul which led to Dame N’Doye’s opener. Poyet was sent to the stands for his antics and could face further punishment after the game . Poyet had been vanquished to the stands just before half-time and the concern must now be that Sunderland, too, could be vanquished to the Championship. The head coach said before the game he was shocked by Sunderland’s involvement at the wrong end of the table. Perhaps he should take a closer look at the numbers. His team have now won just one in 11 league games and have scored just once in more than eight hours of football. The Uruguayan looks in deep thought as he finds his seat among the supporters after his dismissal . The 47-year-old watches on with interest as his side searched for the equaliser at the KC Stadium . Poyet talks of implementing his own style of play which will, in the long term, excite supporters. There is precious little evidence of that offensive brand at present and, Rodwell’s leveller apart, they barely mustered an effort on goal. The body language of Jermain Defoe told its own story. Dropping deep in an attempt to enjoy a rare feel of the ball as they trailed after the break, he was robbed of possession by one of his own players. Paul McShane (right) is in disbelief as Rodwell's header in the 77th minute rescues a point for the Black Cats . Sunderland boss Poyet reacts animatedly to Jack Rodwell's equalising goal from the stands of the KC Stadium . Defoe flapped his hands in dismay. It was yet another show of a side sadly lacking in organisation and discipline. But when you have a boss who starts with four central-midfield players and is himself sent off just when you need his guidance more than ever, what chance do you stand? That they got a point had little to do with their absent manager. | Gus Poyet was sent to the stands during Sunderland's game with Hull . Poyet angrily kicked over a drinks carrier .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)For the first time ever, we're getting a live-action "Star Wars" movie without the man who composed the "Star Wars" theme. "Star Wars: Rogue One," the recently-announced "Star Wars" spinoff movie starring Felicity Jones, will not include the soaring music of Oscar winner John Williams. Williams originally scored "Star Wars" and every other episode since then, including the upcoming "Force Awakens" later this year. However, composer Alexandre Desplat has revealed that he will be working on 2016's "Rogue One." The film's director, Gareth Edwards, worked with Desplat last year on "Godzilla." A "Star Wars" movie without that iconic Williams sound is certainly something that fans will have to get used to, and Desplat has a big job ahead of him. Williams' work will also be absent from the next Steven Spielberg movie, "Bridge of Spies," it was announced this week. For the past three decades, Williams has scored every single Spielberg film, but the new movie, starring Tom Hanks and due out October 16, will be scored by Thomas Newman, best known for the score of "American Beauty." Movie studio DreamWorks attributed Williams' absence to a "minor health issue, since corrected." Williams' best known non-"Star Wars" music is almost entirely from Spielberg films, including "Jaws," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "E.T. The Extra Terrestrial" and "Jurassic Park." Another upcoming Spielberg movie, "The BFG," will include a Williams score. | Oscar-winning composer John Williams steps aside from 2016's "Star Wars: Rogue One" Williams will also be absent on Steven Spielberg's next movie, for the first time in three decades .

How is an electric field produced? | Electricity is the set of physical phenomena associated with the presence and motion of matter that has a property of electric charge. Electricity is related to magnetism, both being part of the phenomenon of electromagnetism, as described by Maxwell's equations. Various common phenomena are related to electricity, including lightning, static electricity, electric heating, electric discharges and many others.
The presence of either a positive or negative electric charge produces an electric field. The movement of electric charges is an electric current and produces a magnetic field. In most applications, a force acts on a charge with a magnitude given by Coulomb's law. Electric potential is typically measured in volts.
Electricity is at the heart of many modern technologies, being used for:
Electric power where electric current is used to energise equipment;
Electronics which deals with electrical circuits that involve active electrical components such as vacuum tubes, transistors, diodes and integrated circuits, and associated passive interconnection technologies.
Electrical phenomena have been studied since antiquity, though progress in theoretical understanding remained slow until the 17th and 18th centuries. The theory of electromagnetism was developed in the 19th century, and by the end of that century electricity was being put to industrial and residential use by electrical engineers. The rapid expansion in electrical technology at this time transformed industry and society, becoming a driving force for the Second Industrial Revolution. Electricity's extraordinary versatility means it can be put to an almost limitless set of applications which include transport, heating, lighting, communications, and computation. Electrical power is now the backbone of modern industrial society. | The presence of either a positive or negative electric charge produces an electric field. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)In the 1950s it was cancer. Hush, hush, whisper, whisper. "They called it the 'C' word, and it didn't get talked about in doctor's offices," said Beth Kallmyer of the Alzheimer's Association. "It certainly wasn't talked about in the general public, it was whispered." Today it's Alzheimer's, and 55% of patients and their caregivers say their doctors never told them they have the devastating disease, according to a special report of the Alzheimer's Association released this week. Compare that to one of the big four cancers -- breast, colorectal, lung and prostate -- more than 90% said their doctors had no problem giving them the diagnosis. "Alzheimer's not being talked about, many doctors are not giving the diagnosis," added Kallmyer in a webcast. "We need to change that. It's a disease, it's nothing to be ashamed about." "This is very current, very well done, and pretty dramatic findings, let's be honest," said Dr. Pierre Tariot, director of Banner's Alzheimer's Institute. "I am reminded of the rather sobering fact that as many as 60% of people who have a dementia die without the dementia having been diagnosed by their doctor." Why the silence? This is not the first report to show doctors are sidestepping this tough conversation. But why? That's been studied too, and the reasons doctors give range from diagnostic uncertainty and fear of causing emotional distress to time constraints, lack of support, and stigma. "There is an element of stigma here towards brain and mental health problems in general," said Tariot. "I would call it professional awkwardness. I can't really help this condition, why invest time and energy talking about it, it makes me squirm." "I think the comparison of Alzheimer's to cancer is appropriate," said Dr. Tom Price, Medical Director for Emory University's Geriatric Clinic. "I give patients a new diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease many times a week, and every time it is uncomfortable, and I've been doing it for over 10 years. It is easier to talk about cancer now that there are so many new and effective treatment strategies, and cause of optimism with survival from cancer at an all-time high." What's at stake . Alzheimer's advocates stress the importance of giving a patient all the facts, as early as possible, so they can work with their family to organize legal and health directives and have time to fulfill life-long desires. It's just as important for the caregiver. "Imagine it's your spouse," said Tariot. "Personality changes, memory is different, language and communication is different, you don't know what is going on. Then you start getting answers, and you get a sense of how to play to his strengths and minimize his weaknesses. Here are travel tips, communication tips, and safety issues; here are ways to stay happy and joyful, even though this is a new chronic illness." There's another critical factor as well: access to clinical trials that might help slow the illness. "Right now, the big studies that are underway in prevention are really looking at people in the early stages of Alzheimer's," said Kallmyer. "So by waiting, they can lose out on clinical trials as well." Addressing the 'gap' "We want to be clear that we believe physicians are well meaning, but there's a gap there somewhere," said Keith Fargo, Director of Scientific Programs for the Alzheimer's Association. "We saw doctors say lack of time, lack of resources, so we think the answer to this mostly has to do with education and providing more resources." Experts CNN spoke to agreed. "As a field, we have failed," Tariot told CNN. "It isn't just the doctors in the trenches. Medical schools, professional organizations and health care systems have not recognized the importance of identification and management of people with dementia." "I think that medical school curriculum does need to update to include neurodegenerative diseases in their 'giving bad news' training -- Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases, for example," said Price. "We do need to educate all providers to be aware that hesitance to give the diagnosis reduces the ability of the patient and family to make some choices and planning that is essential for emotional and financial well-being." | Only 45% of patients and their caregivers say their doctor told them they have Alzheimer's .

How much of the earth is covered in land? | Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only place known in the universe where life has originated and found habitability. While Earth may not contain the largest volumes of water in the Solar System, only Earth sustains liquid surface water, extending over 70.8% of the Earth with its ocean, making Earth an ocean world. Earth's polar regions currently retain most of all other water with large sheets of ice covering ocean and land, dwarfing Earth's groundwater, lakes, rivers and atmospheric water. Land, consisting of continents and islands, extends over 29.2% of the Earth and is widely covered by vegetation. Below Earth's surface material lies Earth's crust consisting of several slowly moving tectonic plates, which interact to produce mountain ranges, volcanoes, and earthquakes. Earth's liquid outer core generates a magnetic field that shapes the magnetosphere of Earth, largely deflecting destructive solar winds and cosmic radiation. | 29.2% of the earth's surface is covered in land. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei on Thursday accused the six world powers involved in negotiations over Iran's nuclear program of "deception, trickery and backstabbing" in their dealings with Tehran, according to Iranian state media. He also criticized a letter sent by 47 U.S. Republican senators to Iran's leaders, which threatened to scupper any deal if a Republican President is elected next year, Iran's official Press TV reported. "Of course, I'm concerned because the other side is into deception, trickery and backstabbing," Khamenei is quoted as saying in a speech in Tehran. He suggested that the letter was part of a U.S. strategy of last-minute reversal aimed at undermining a comprehensive deal covering Iran's nuclear ambitions, Press TV said. "This is part of their ploys and tricks," said Khamenei. Iran faces a March 24 deadline to reach a deal over its nuclear program. Several interim agreements have been made in recent months, though a long-term pact so far has been elusive. The six world powers -- the United States, Russia, China, the United Kingdom and France, plus Germany, a group known as the P5+1 -- are seeking a deal that will ensure that Iran doesn't develop nuclear arms. Officials in Tehran have publicly insisted they want a nuclear program for energy purposes, not to create atomic weaponry. The Republican senators' decision to write to Iran's leaders has stirred up a political firestorm in the United States. U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry denounced the letter Wednesday at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing, calling it a breach of "more than two centuries of precedent" and factually incorrect. Did 47 Republican senators break the law in plain sight? "It purports to tell the world that if you want to have any confidence in your dealings with America, they have to negotiate with 535 members of Congress," Kerry said. "That is both untrue and a profoundly bad suggestion to make." Sen. Tom Cotton, a freshman Republican from Arkansas, penned the letter, which asserted that a lasting agreement would need congressional support. He wasn't shy about his attempts to undermine the Obama administration's negotiations with Iran and said Tuesday that the letter is "about stopping Iran from getting a nuclear deal."

per this description of the game of fooseball, how many full rotations are allowed in the game at the championship level? | The game involves using figures mounted on rotating bars to kick a ball into the opposing goal. Table football tables can vary in size, but a typical table is about 120 centimetres (3.9 ft) long and 61 centimetres (2.00 ft) wide. The table usually contains eight rows of foos men, which are plastic, metal, wooden, or sometimes carbon-fibre figures mounted on horizontal metal bars. Each team of one or two human players controls four rows of foos men, one row each for the goalkeeper, defenders, midfield and strikers. Players manipulate the rods to control the figures, using them to hold up, pass or 'kick' the ball. Games begin when the ball is served through a hole at the side of the table, or simply placed by hand at the feet of a figure in the centre of the table. A coin toss is usually used to determine which player or team serves first. If it is not the first match or if the ball gets out of play or if the ball suddenly stops out, then the team scored last would get the serve after he scores one. The term for when the ball leaves the table or gets stopped somewhere out of the men-like figures’ reach is dead ball. Expert players have been known to move balls at speeds up to 56 km/h (35 mph) in competition.
The rules prohibit "over 360-degree shots", or "spinning": using the palm of the hand to swiftly spin the bar all around, instead of using wrist strokes to kick the ball with a bar-mounted figure. Since the establishment of the International Table Soccer Federation (ITSF), the rules have become standardised in most international competitions. However, since January 2012, the annual World Championships and the World Cup have permitted two full 360-degree rotations.
The winner is determined when one team scores a predetermined number of goals, typically five, ten or eleven in competition. When playing Bonzini competitions, the target number of goals is seven and players must win by at least two clear goals. | 2 360-degree rotations are allowed since January 2012. |

What is the largest city in the world? | A city can be defined by its administrative boundaries, otherwise known as city proper. UNICEF defines city proper as, "the population living within the administrative boundaries of a city or controlled directly from the city by a single authority." A city proper is a locality defined according to legal or political boundaries and an administratively recognised urban status that is usually characterised by some form of local government. Cities proper and their boundaries and population data may not include suburbs.
The use of city proper as defined by administrative boundaries may not include suburban areas where an important proportion of the population working or studying in the city lives. Because of this definition, the city proper population figure may differ greatly with the urban area population figure, as many cities are amalgamations of smaller municipalities (Australia), and conversely, many Chinese cities govern territories that extend well beyond the traditional "city proper" into suburban and rural areas. The Chinese municipality of Chongqing, which claims the largest city proper in the world by population, comprises a huge administrative area of 82,403 km2, around the size of Austria. However, more than 70% of its 30-million population are actually agricultural workers living in a rural setting. | ChoingQing, China is the largest city proper in the world by population.

The 25 time Tour de France stage winner is 30 in May and has seen Marcel Kittel emerge as the dominant sprinter in recent seasons but his win in Belgium will certainly help his cause if he is to stay at Etixx-QuickStep. | Mark Cavendish triumphed in Sunday's one-day Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Majid Haq, Scotland’s leading wicket-taker and most capped player, has been forced to fly home from the World Cup after a controversial tweet . One of Scotland’s most successful cricketers has been sent home from the World Cup in disgrace after suggesting his axing from a match was racially motivated. Majid Haq, the country’s leading wicket-taker and most capped player, was ordered to fly back early from Australia for breaching the team’s code of conduct. Haq was not selected for the team that lost to Sri Lanka in Hobart yesterday and later tweeted: ‘Always tougher when your in the minority! #colour #race’, before later deleting the post. After the match, Cricket Scotland broke the news in a brief statement that 32-year-old Haq was coming home early, adding: ‘No further statement will be issued until internal processes have been completed.’ The Paisley-born cricketer now faces a disciplinary hearing which could decide whether his distinguished ten-year career continues or is brought to an ignominious end. The spin bowler, who made his first-class debut with the national team in 2004, suffered mixed fortunes in the World Cup in which Scotland has lost all five pool matches so far. It has a last game on Saturday in which to register a win, but that’s a tall order against four-time champions and co-hosts Australia. Haq took three wickets in Scotland’s first four matches, and was dropped after bowling figures of 0-49 and scoring only one run in the defeat to Bangladesh at Nelson in New Zealand on March 5. In the match against England on February 22, offspinner Haq dismissed opener Moeen Ali to claim a record 257th wicket for Scotland. Former England all-rounder Ian Botham and ex-coach David Lloyd ruffled feathers when they branded the Clydesdale Cricket Club bowler a ‘lobber’ in their TV commentary. At the time, Scotland’s director of cricket Andy Tennant, a specialist spin coach, came to his player’s defence, insisting he was ‘world class’. Tennant said: ‘The commentators kept going on about how slowly Maj was bowling but his flight and dip in the air is what makes him a special bowler. Haq was dropped from Scotland's squad for their defeat to Sri Lanka yesterday after bowling figures of 0-49 and scoring just one run in the previous game, but suggested the move was racially motivated . ‘What they portrayed as a weakness is actually a strength. I think the remarks came across as ill-informed. Majid should be rightly proud of what he has achieved for Scotland and I’m sure he’ll go on to take many more wickets for his country.’ Haq holds the Scottish record for most international cricket caps – 209 – and was presented with a trophy for becoming lead wicket-taker following the England match. Coach Grant Bradburn said in a statement: ‘It is a huge honour and fantastic achievement for Majid, who now becomes Scotland’s leading wicket-taker of all time. 'As such a loyal servant to Scotland Cricket, it is especially appropriate for Majid to achieve this milestone during our World Cup campaign.’ Coach Grant Bradburn had previously praised Haq when he collected a record 209th cap for Scotland, but his tweet has since dampened the mood . However, the buoyant mood in the Scotland camp generated by Haq’s achievements has been dampened by his tweet. A Cricket Scotland statement yesterday said: ‘Following a breach of Cricket Scotland’s internal code of conduct, international team member, Majid Haq, is travelling home from the ICC World Cup. ‘No further statement will be issued until internal processes have been completed in due course.’ Haq, whose family is of Pakistani heritage and ran a curry restaurant in Glasgow, was brought up in Paisley, Renfrewshire, attending Castlehead High School and Reid Kerr College. He later graduated in accountancy at the former University of Paisley. He worked part-time as an accountant before switching to cricket full-time six years ago. In an interview last month, Haq revealed that the last World Cup held in Australia and New Zealand, in 1992, helped him fall in love with the game, with Pakistan’s victory in the final against England a seminal moment. BBC radio commentator and former England off-spinner Vic Marks said yesterday he was ‘shocked’ that Haq’s tour should end in such fashion. He said: ‘I understand why any player would be really disappointed about being dropped – it’s a horrible feeling, especially if you are a senior player. 'I can also understand from the Scottish selectors’ point of view that it was an opportunity to blood a talented young offspinner and that might be why they took the step to drop Haq. ‘I guess the authorities were left with no real option once he’d delivered his tweet. They had to take pretty severe action.’ | Majid Haq was dropped from Sr Lanka match after indifferent form .

What is Sci-fi fantasy? | Science fantasy is a hybrid genre within speculative fiction that simultaneously draws upon or combines tropes and elements from both science fiction and fantasy. In a conventional science fiction story, the world is presented as being scientifically logical; while a conventional fantasy story contains mostly supernatural and artistic elements that disregard the scientific laws of the real world. The world of science fantasy, however, is laid out to be scientifically logical and often supplied with hard science–like explanations of any supernatural elements. | Sci-fi fantasy is a hybrid genre that combines tropes and elements from both science fiction and fantasy. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Red Bull team principal Christian Horner has called on Renault to get their act together and help save his organisation's season. Horner was left fuming following the opening race in Australia on Sunday after Red Bull found themselves severely handicapped by power-unit supplier Renault over the course of the weekend. Initially, the Milton Keynes-based marque were forced to change the power unit on Daniel Ricciardo's car in between practice sessions on Friday due to a problem with the engine. Red Bull chief Christian Horner has accused engine supplier Renault of going backwards this season . Daniel Ricciardo could only manage a sixth-placed finish for Red Bull during the Australian Grand Prix . Red Bull's second driver Daniil Kvyat pulled out of Sunday's opening race with a gear box failure . Come the race further embarrassment followed as Daniil Kvyat, on his debut for the team following his promotion last year from Toro Rosso, retired on the formation lap with a suspected gearbox failure. Horner has already called on the FIA to introduce equalisation rules as he fears Mercedes will continue to dominate after their easy one-two around Melbourne's Albert Park, spearheaded by Lewis Hamilton. More pertinently, though, Horner knows Renault have to up their game otherwise the rest of the campaign will be a washout. 'Renault need to have a clear vision and they need it quickly,' said Horner. 'You can see Ferrari have made a good step forward, whereas Renault at this stage appear to have made a retrograde step. 'It's frustrating we are effectively further back than we were in Abu Dhabi in both power and driveability. 'It means we haven't seen the potential of our car yet because it's masked by the engine issues we have.' Max Verstappen (centre) walks back to Toro Rosso team garage after retiring from the Australian Grand Prix . Lewis Hamilton (right) and Nico Rosberg finished first and second respectively at the Australian Grand Prix . VIDEO Hamilton cruises to victory in Australian GP . As to the steps required over the coming weeks, Horner added: 'First we have to understand what the problem is in order to address it. 'Until Renault get to the bottom of what the issues are they are very difficult to address. A lot of dyno running needs to be done in order to understand. 'It's important we regroup with Renault and offer support where we can because it's obviously in a bit of a mess at the moment. 'But we need to understand things quickly. Across the four cars (Renault also supply Toro Rosso) we had two engine failures - one within five laps - and a whole bunch of reliability problems. 'It's not the start Renault can afford to have.' After an abysmal start to pre-season a year ago Red Bull recovered to claim three wins and finish second in the constructors' championship, albeit a long way adrift of Mercedes. Red Bull struggled to keep up with Mercedes, WIlliams and Ferrari at the Australian Grand Prix . Red Bull and Renault were expected to take a step closer this season, but instead Horner fears they will be cut adrift. Asked whether Renault were capable of producing a championship- challenging engine, Horner replied: 'This year, no. 'But we need to be doing a lot better than we are. We need to be challenging Ferrari and Williams. 'If we sort the issues out then we can do that, but the drivers need to have a fair run at it and they didn't have that over the weekend.' | Red Bull chief wants engine supplier to Renault to improve their reliability .

After big wins by Wales and Ireland, England knew they needed to beat France by 26 points at Twickenham to win the Championship. They ran in seven tries in a brilliant display of attacking rugby to beat France 55-35 but paid the price for a leaky defence — and wasting six try opportunities last week against Scotland. Stuart Lancaster (centre left) praised his England side's courage but admitted he was 'gutted' to lose out . Lancaster looks dejected alongside his players at the end of the exciting RBS Six Nations match . Wales beat Italy 61-20 in Rome, but saw their efforts then dashed by Ireland's 40-10 victory over Scotland at Murrayfield. Stuart Hogg went over the line in the last few minutes but the try was disallowed — costing Lancaster's men the chance of a title. England scrum-half Ben Youngs, who scored two tries, said: 'I don't really know what to say. I am absolutely devastated. 'We really gave it a crack but for all the hard work we showed, you cannot let them back in the game and we are just gutted. We knew that the French would tire but we just gave ourselves too much to climb in the end.' Man-of-the-match Ben Youngs scored two tries for England but it wasn't enough to claim the title . England were defensively weak and made too many individual mistakes over the 80 minutes . Lancaster added: 'We are gutted. It was one of the most courageous performances I have seen from a team. 'But it is desperately disappointing not to get that try at the end. Their first two tries hurt us and to come back as we did before half-time and then to concede the first try of the second half — it will go down as one of the great games of rugby.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Kevin Pietersen has yet to consider Leicestershire's bold attempt to sign him for this summer's NatWest T20 Blast. After new England and Wales Cricket Board chairman Colin Graves hinted last weekend there is still a possibility of a return to international cricket for the record-breaking batsman, sacked last year, the first definite attempt by a county to secure his services surfaced on Friday. Leicestershire chief executive Wasim Khan told Cricinfo he had been in touch with Pietersen's advisers about the possibility of signing the 34-year-old between his existing commitments at the Indian and Caribbean premier leagues. Kevin Pietersen played for Surrey in last year's Natwest Twenty20 Blast . Pietersen's agent confirmed an initial discussion did take place, but added it was 'some time ago'. Leicestershire's gambit therefore appears to pre-date Graves' remarks, in which he indicated Pietersen's return to county cricket - as a pre-requisite of being considered again for England - would need to encompass all formats, rather than just Twenty20. Wasim told Cricinfo: 'I approached his agent about his T20 availability. 'But he said it was unlikely he would play any T20 (in England) due to his full CPL commitments.' The former England batsman pictured watching QPR's 2-1 defeat by Arsenal on Wednesday night . Pietersen's agent said: 'I haven't had a conversation with Kevin about Leicestershire - it is not something we have discussed.' Pietersen, who was axed by the ECB 13 months ago after England's 2013/14 Ashes whitewash defeat and described by his employers' managing director Paul Downton as 'disengaged', has since published an autobiography in which he is very critical of several former team-mates and management staff.

The flair and experience of Massa is balanced by the steely determination of Bottas, who I expect to lead the charge to Mercedes on a consistent basis.

Felipe Massa takes the WIlliams for a spin during testing in Barcelona at the end of February . Ferrari . Engine: Ferrari . 5 Sebastian Vettel (Ger) Age: 27 . Grand Prix: 139 . Wins: 39 . 7 Kimi Raikkonen (Fin) Age: 35 . Grand Prix: 213 . Wins: 20 . There is less pressure on Vettel because it is a fresh challenge. It is the first time he has flown the nest and I expect to see him develop. Kimi was fantastic at races in 2013 but at the same events last year he was nowhere. The car will be better and I hope it gives him what he needs. Sebastian Vettel has moved from Red Bull to Ferrari for the 2015 season . McLaren . Engine: Honda . 14 Fernando Alonso (Spa) Age: 33 . Grand Prix's 236 . Wins: 32 . 22 Jenson Button (GBR) Age: 35 . Grand Prix's 268 . Wins: 15 . All team bosses nominated Alonso as the driver they would want, but he clearly has problems. Keeping Jenson was right, too, but the car is not where it needs to be. They finished fifth in 2014 with the best engine but have changed to Honda, so my gut says they will not improve.

Wins: 0 . 11 Sergio Perez (Mex) Age: 25 . Grand Prix: 77 . Wins: 0 . Hulkenberg is one of the stars but he has not been in the environment to win races, and I don’t know if he’ll achieve that at Force India. Last year Perez outshone him.

It is the youngest driver pairing in F1 history, but I like it. With greater experience, Jnr is who you would expect to lead the team, but I think we are going to get a big surprise from Max. He hardly made a mistake in testing, doesn’t miss apexes or lock brakes and looks in control. Toro Rosso's 17-year-old rookie Max Verstappen tests the new car earlier this month . Lotus . Engine: Mercedes . 8 Romain Grosjean (Fra) Age: 28 . Grand Prix: 64 . Wins: 0 . 13 Pastor Maldonado (Ven) Age: 29 . Grand Prix: 77 . Wins: 1 . I’m a big Grosjean fan, but the car was not very good last year and he struggled. If the team can deliver on performance — they have changed from Renault to Mercedes engines — we will see him up there. Pastor can deliver but he also crashes. He must reduce those incidents.

Dave Fairbairn was a passenger in the actress' car when police detained her on a night out last month, prompting a clash with officers which led to him receiving a penalty for public disorder. Now Mr Fairbairn, 59, is said to have appealed to the Independent Police Complaints Commission claiming he was assaulted. Row: Gillian Taylforth's boyfriend Dave Fairbairn (pictured) was a passenger in her car when police detained her on a night out last month - prompting a clash with officers which led to him allegedly being assaulted . Dave Fairbairn (left), the boyfriend of soap star Gillian Taylforth (with him and right), said police assaulted him . He told Lewis Panther of the Sunday People: 'The copper who kept telling me to stop swearing pushed my head hard. And all I could see is a girder come towards me. 'My head just exploded like an egg. It went everywhere. Because it was a white floor you could see how soaked it was. I was covered. 'If I had seen someone covered in that much blood it would have been straight to hospital... They took me straight to a police cell.' Photographs of him leaving a police station later appeared to show a trickle of dried blood on his forehead, with smears around his nose and right eye. The pair were stopped at 1.25am on a Saturday morning, five miles from her £900,000 home in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire. Mr Fairbairn said officers knew Ms Taylforth's name as soon as they tapped on the window of her car, which he said she was moving a few metres to avoid being clamped. As she was arrested he insisted he swore just once - saying 'for f***'s sake' at the general situation and not at any individual officer. Accused: The EastEnders actress was charged with drink driving and appeared at Stevenage Magistrates' Court last week (pictured). Her boyfriend - who received a fixed penalty - insisted he swore just once . Scene: The pair were stopped in the early hours in Hertford (pictured), five miles from the actress' home . But he riled police by filming his girlfriend's arrest on his phone, Mr Fairbairn claimed. The former stockbroker - who was jailed for 15 years in 2003 over one of Britain's biggest ecstasy-smuggling plots - was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and taken to a police station. He was released after Hertfordshire Police served him with a fixed penalty notice, which he said he is appealing. His girlfriend, who has made a surprise return to EastEnders as Kathy Beale after a nine-year break, was also arrested and was charged with drink driving. She appeared before Stevenage Magistrates' Court on Monday and was granted unconditional bail ahead of a full hearing in May. A Hertfordshire police spokesman said earlier: 'The 59-year-old was arrested at 1.25am on February 7 in Fore Street, Hertford. She has been charged with drink driving.' The actress started dating Mr Fairbairn in 2012 after they met through friends following the breakdown of her 23-year relationship with ex-fiancé Geoff Knights. Best known for playing Kathy Beale in Eastenders before her character vanished in 2006, Ms Taylforth has also appeared in The Bill and the 2013 series of Celebrity Big Brother. She made a surprise return to Albert Square to mark EastEnders' 30th anniversary and is now due to return to the show in a fuller role. Surprise return: Ms Taylforth's character Kathy Beale has reappeared in the soap after a nine-year hiatus . Back on screen: Her character was reunited with Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) in a live episode . Her boyfriend was sentenced to 15 years in prison in 2003 after being found guilty of plotting to import and supply Class A drugs at Bristol Crown Court. He served seven years behind bars. At the time of the court case, it was the biggest drugs raid in history after police found 839,500 ecstasy tablets worth an estimated £7.5million. Mr Fairbairn has since been diagnosed with prostate cancer, the same disease which killed Ms Taylforth's ex-partner four years after they broke up. He is already suing a different police force over a similar argument in 2013 when he was accused of drink driving on the M62 in Merseyside, he told the Sunday People. His solicitor could not be reached for comment.

Have a look at Sunday’s victory over Manchester City: Lallana started the game as one of two No 10s behind Raheem Sterling (Brendan Rodgers’ innovative approach as a coach should not be underestimated). When Lazar Markovic went off, Lallana went over to the right wing, and then when Alberto Moreno was substituted, Lallana ended the game on the left wing. Adam Lallana (centre) gave an all-action display as Liverpool impressively beat Manchester City . Lallana chats with Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard during training on Monday . He is truly two-footed – for that reason alone English football should treasure him. But he is also clearly capable of playing in different positions, and he can adapt midway through a game. Those qualities are not readily available in most players and it takes me back to the Champions League final of 2005 when Gerrard ended up at right back. The very best not only play different positions, they excel in those positions as well. Lallana still has to prove he can do it, as Gerrard did, in a major final, but he proved it in a massive game on Sunday. A simple five-minute chat about Lallana with Rodgers will have him purring. The Liverpool manager will be using words and phrases like 'balance', 'clever', 'worker', 'technical ability', 'awareness', 'great character', 'looks after the ball'. Bring up the subject of Lallana and you could be there all day with Rodgers. On Sunday all the talk was of Philippe Coutinho, and understandably so. The brilliance of his goals alone in recent weeks makes him the hot topic and it’s great to see him add consistency to the undoubted quality. But Lallana’s contribution should not go unnoticed. Philippe Coutinho (2nd right) curled home Liverpool's winner late on in the Premier League clash at Anfield . Vice-captain Jordan Henderson (right, front) also scored a screamer for the Reds on Sunday . One thing you might not know about Lallana is that in Rodgers’ words, he is 'no shrinking violet'. He has bags of personality and character off the pitch as well as on it, and good leadership qualities – let’s not forget he was captain of Southampton as they returned to re-establish themselves in the Premier League. For Liverpool’s system he is perfect. He has quality on the ball – did you see his Cruyff turn in the centre circle against City? Breathtaking stuff – he creates – he scores (probably could score more) – and he presses the ball. He was injured pre-season, so it was a slow start to his Liverpool career and some supporters were too quick to judge. Rodgers knew that opponents’ approach to Liverpool would be different this season, he knew he would need players to be clever on the ball, and Lallana has that football intelligence. Lallana - who played three positions against City - shows his defensive qualities challenging Sergio Aguero . He doesn’t get talked about too much, does he? Is that because he’s English? Probably. But Rodgers told me this about Lallana: 'He’s technically as good as any European player'. Some might disagree, but it rams home the point that we don’t value his qualities highly enough in this country. In the feverish pace of the Premier League, Lallana still makes time for himself on the ball, and has that football intelligence and ability to make an impact on a game. Yet somehow, if he is only on the bench for England later this month it won’t be a surprise. And that’s a shame in my opinion. Gerrard’s departure will still hurt Liverpool fans, but I expect Lallana to grow even more when the legend leaves. He’s one of the most underrated footballers in the Premier League.

The 26-year-old's September arrival from Atletico Madrid appeared quite the coup, especially as the season-long loan gave Saints the option to make the move permanent for just £6.8million.

The double Olympic champion sprinted clear of Kenyan rival Micah Kogo to cross the line in 59 minutes 32 seconds, taking 20 seconds off the mark set by Spain's Fabian Roncero 14 years ago. It was the first time a British athlete had run the 13.1 mile distance in under 60 minutes. Farah, who celebrates his 32nd birthday on Monday, has now set a world record and a European record in his two races so far this year. Mo Farah smashed the European record and completed the race in Lisbon Half Marathon in under 60 minutes . His only race of the indoor campaign, in Birmingham last month, resulted in a new world best time over two miles and this latest success on the road suggests he is in the best possible shape ahead of a season in which he will aim to retain his 5,000 and 10,000 metres titles at the World Championships in Beijing in August. 'It feels amazing, I got massive support from the crowd,' Farah said on www.iaaf.org. 'It wasn't easy, the race organisers put in a great field. To win here was hard, but it's my birthday tomorrow so It's a good birthday present. I feel so happy to break the British record and European record.' The GB Team runner takes a tumble after crossing the finish line and winning the Half Marathon . Farah finished a second ahead of Kogo after the pair had broken clear from another Kenyan, Stephen Kibet, who had to settle for third in 59:58. Farah was content to let the Kenyan pair set the pace before reeling them in with a couple of miles to go. Kibet fell back, but Kogo proved tougher to crack before Farah's superior finishing speed took him clear in the closing metres. The Briton tumbled to the ground after crossing the line, but reported no lasting damage. The runner was delighted with his performance as the outdoor seasons begins to get underway . He said: 'My legs were so tired. Normally when you cross the line you step over the tape, but I was so tired I couldn't lift my legs and tripped over it.' Farah's previous half marathon best was 60:00 at the Bupa Great North Run last September, but that was set on an overall downhill course rather than a looped route. The Lisbon course is flat and fast and was the setting for Eritrea's Zersenay Tadese's world record of 58:23 in 2010. Farah has now won four of the six half marathons he has raced, coming second in the other two. | Mo Farah smashed the European Half Marathon record by 20 seconds .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Solar Impulse 2 has landed safely in Oman on the first leg of its quest to be the first plane to fly around the world fueled only by the sun's rays. The solar-powered plane took off from Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates early on Monday with pilot Andre Borschberg at the controls for the 400-kilometer (250 mile) flight. The journey was expected to take about 12 hours, but high winds of up to 11 knots delayed its landing, forcing Borschberg to fly in a holding pattern above Muscat until they dropped to safe levels. Once safely on the ground, Borschberg said he was "extremely happy" and "looking forward to the rest of [the] adventure." Solar Impulse 2's visit to Oman is a short pit-stop on its marathon 35,000-kilometer, five month journey across the globe, via India, Myanmar, China and the U.S. The plane is expected to be on the ground for just eight hours before it takes off again -- this time with pilot Bertrand Piccard in charge -- bound for Ahmedabad in India. The potentially historic flight had originally been due to take off on March 1 but its departure was postponed because of concerns about the weather after strong dust storms created hazy conditions. "We have had a lot of sandstorms in Abu Dhabi, and also a lot of wind, sea breezes, higher than the limit," said the team's meteorologist Luc Truellemans in an interview posted on Twitter and YouTube. By Monday morning, the skies had cleared sufficiently for takeoff, though there was a slight delay while technical checks were carried out, as pilot Andre Borschberg explained on Twitter. Eventually the plane got off the ground, under the watchful eye of fellow pilot Piccard. Monday's journey to Oman was a relatively short one, compared to some of the longer legs, which will take up to five or six days and nights. Borschberg and Piccard will spend a total of 500 hours behind the controls over the entire trip, taking it in turns in the tiny 3.8-square meter single-seater cockpit. Before the takeoff, Piccard admitted the pair "had "butterflies in the stomach" at the thought of getting underway after working on the project for so long. On Sunday, the pair joked about tossing a coin for the right to fly first, before tearfully revealing that they had already decided who would be doing what. "Andre has worked on this airplane ... for 12 years, from the feasibility study until now; it is more than natural that he takes the first step," said Piccard. Borschberg added: "Bertrand deserves to fly the last leg, and to make the arrival in Abu Dhabi, completing the vision he created 15 years ago." The pair will also split ocean-flying duties: Piccard will take on the five-day, five-night journey across the Pacific, while Borschberg will tackle the Atlantic. Solar Impulse's 72-meter (236-foot) wingspan makes it wider than a Boeing 747, but the plane weighs just 2.5 tons, lighter than a large SUV. The tiny cockpit will be packed with essentials for the journey -- enough food and water for a week -- as well as a parachute, life raft and oxygen bottles in case of emergencies. Borschberg and Piccard, who piloted an earlier version of the plane across the U.S. in 2013, are no strangers to adventure. Borschberg is a former fighter pilot, and Piccard was part of the first team to circumnavigate the earth nonstop in a balloon in 1999. | Solar Impulse completes first leg of its round-the-world flight, from Abu Dhabi to Oman .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | I just cannot understand why Ian Ritchie has made such a statement. The first thing that surprises me is the timing, following one of the most exciting days ever in Five and Six Nations history. England’s victory over France was brilliant to watch, even if they did fall just short of winning the title. Twickenham was rocking and it was an amazing advert for the game ahead of a home World Cup. I’m in Switzerland at present and on the flight the pilot, air stewardesses and all the passengers were talking about Saturday and their real optimism for the World Cup. So for Ritchie to say finishing second is unacceptable just flattens the mood. It doesn’t seem right and is a massive own goal. Stuart Lancaster (second left) consoles his players after falling six points short of a Six Nations title . England captain Chris Robshaw (left) and his team-mates came second for the fourth year in succession . Ben Youngs celebrate his try during England's storming 55-35 Six Nations victory against France . More importantly, his words undermine Stuart Lancaster. I would go as far as to say he has belittled much of the progress that Lancaster and the team have achieved. If this had happened to me, I would be in Ritchie’s office demanding an explanation. This is professional sport and being a head coach is a tough position. The moment someone says something, the opposition see a chink, a weakness, and try to drive a wedge through it. It’s one thing to say these things in private, as professional sport is about winning, but to say them in public is wrong. If Lancaster has called the result unacceptable, fair enough, but Ritchie has no qualifications to talk about the team’s performance. This year is all about preparing for the World Cup and England put 55 points and seven tries on the board in style. The atmosphere at Twickenham for England's final Six Nations match was electric from start to finish . This was the time for a pat on the back and a united front. Ian Ritchie appointed Stuart Lancaster after an interim period, which was a brave decision when he had the opportunity to put in far more experienced coaches. He appointed an inexperienced coach in Lancaster yet later awarded him a six-year contract. If the priority was short-term gains, he should have been given a one-year contract. Coming in with no international coaching experience, Lancaster has done a very good job. Wales and Ireland are very strong teams too so to think you can just win Grand Slams and championships is very naive and just brings back the tag that the English are arrogant. Ian Ritchie (right) should be backing Lancaster ahead of the eagerly-anticipated World Cup in September . I’m sure Ritchie had good intentions, perhaps wanting to be seen to be saying the right thing after another title miss. But he will regret what he said as England are in a very good position. If England are going to win the World Cup, they have to have everybody together as one team, everybody’s noses pointing in the same direction from the chief executive down to the water boys. We should all be feeling positive after such a brilliant display against France and looking forward to the World Cup. It’s all positive. | Ian Ritchie's words have undermined England coach Stuart Lancaster . If this had happened to me, I would be in Ritchie’s office demanding an explanation .

Who first used the term "glass ceiling"? | A glass ceiling is a metaphor usually applied to women, used to represent an invisible barrier that prevents a given demographic from rising beyond a certain level in a hierarchy. No matter how invisible the glass ceiling is expressed, it is actually a difficult obstacle to overcome. The metaphor was first used by feminists in reference to barriers in the careers of high-achieving women. It was coined by Marilyn Loden during a speech in 1978. In the United States, the concept is sometimes extended to refer to racial inequality in the United States. Minority women in white-majority countries often find the most difficulty in "breaking the glass ceiling" because they lie at the intersection of two historically marginalized groups: women and people of color. East Asian and East Asian American news outlets have coined the term "bamboo ceiling" to refer to the obstacles that all East Asian Americans face in advancing their careers. Similarly, a multitude of barriers that refugees and asylum seekers face in their search for meaningful employment is referred to as canvas ceiling. | The term "glass ceiling" was first used by Marilyn Loden in a 1978 speech. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | How refreshing it was to see Danny Welbeck properly celebrate scoring for Arsenal against former club Manchester United on Monday night. The striker's passion was clear to see as he bounded backwards across the Old Trafford turf, letting out a roar of celebration as Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla rushed over to celebrate the moment. 'The emotion takes over,' he said afterwards. 'It was difficult to keep it in.' Quite right too. Welbeck had every reason to celebrate and let all that pent-up frustration out. A pumped-up Danny Welbeck celebrates his winner for Arsenal at former club Manchester United . The Arsenal striker celebrates with team-mates Alexis Sanchez and Santi Cazorla after scoring . At United since the age of eight, he was booted out the door in the summer by Louis van Gaal, who claimed he wasn't good enough to be a first team player at United. So, on his first return to Old Trafford, Welbeck had a major point to prove and when Antonio Valencia under-hit a back pass to goalkeeper David de Gea, he seized his chance. Skilfully taking the ball around the Spaniard, he passed it into an empty net before celebrating whole-heartedly but still with plenty of respect for the United fans. Welbeck could certainly teach these players, who took the whole not celebrating against a former club thing a little too seriously. Shaun Wright-Phillips (Chelsea vs QPR, January 2013) Wright-Phillips wasn't wanted by Chelsea. They spent £21m to sign him and then kept him as a bit-part player until finally ditching him three years later having wasted the best years of his career. So when the winger earned Queens Park Rangers an improbable win at Stamford Bridge during their 2013 relegation struggle, with his first league goal in nearly three years, you'd expect him to be thrilled. Nope. Wright-Phillips looked downright miserable, an island of indifference as his team-mates celebrated jubilantly around him. Shaun Wright-Phillips (third right) looked downright miserable after scoring for QPR at old club Chelsea . Adam Johnson (SUNDERLAND vs Manchester City, December 2012) Likewise with Johnson, who had great expectations when he joined Manchester City from Middlesbrough in 2010 but was barely given a chance by Roberto Mancini. Indeed, Johnson revealed when he escaped to Sunderland that he was barely on speaking terms with the Italian manager towards the end, having been dropped without explanation on a number of occasions during a turbulent two-and-a-half years. So when Johnson gained his revenge by scoring the winner against City a few months after leaving, you'd expect something a bit more animated than just a raised hand of apology. Adam Johnson consoles his former team-mate Joe Hart after scoring against him in December 2012 . Romelu Lukaku (West Brom vs EVERTON, September 2014) Opening your account for a new club, especially after a £28m move, should be kind of a big deal. But Lukaku looked embarassed that his maiden goal for Everton had come at West Brom, the club where he spent the 2012-13 season on loan from Chelsea. Still, at least he earned an appreciative round of applause from the Hawthorns crowd for his sheepish raised hand 'celebration.' Lukaku holds his hands up after scoring for Everton against West Brom, where he spent a year on loan . Jonjo Shelvey (Liverpool vs SWANSEA CITY, February 2014) Shelvey made 47 league appearances for Liverpool over the course of his three seasons there, scoring two goals. Hardly the stuff of Kop folklore. But the midfielder felt the need to apologise to the Anfield crowd after scoring a lovely 20-yard goal on his return there with Swansea last year. It did earn him a round of applause from the Liverpool fans though.

Without quoting directly from the text, give me a summary of what the show "South Park" is about. | South Park centers around four boys: Stan Marsh, Kyle Broflovski, Eric Cartman and Kenny McCormick. The boys live in the fictional small town of South Park, located within the real-life South Park basin in the Rocky Mountains of central Colorado, approximately a one-hour drive from Denver. The town is also home to an assortment of other characters, including students, families, elementary school staff, and other various residents. Prominent settings include South Park Elementary, various neighborhoods and the surrounding mountain range, actual Colorado landmarks, and the businesses along the town's main street, all of which are based on the appearance of similar locations in Fairplay, Colorado. As one of the few television programs set in the Mountain West region that takes place outside the urban core of Denver, South Park frequently features the unique culture of the region, including cattle ranchers, Old West theme parks, snowy climates, mountaineering, Mormons, real-life Colorado locations such as Casa Bonita and Cave of the Winds, and many other regionally specific characteristics.
Stan is portrayed as the everyman of the group, described in official media as an "average, American 4th grader." Kyle is Jewish, and his portrayal as one of the few such people in South Park is often dealt with satirically. Stan is modeled after Parker, while Kyle is modeled after Stone. They are best friends, and their friendship, symbolically intended to reflect Parker and Stone's friendship, is a common topic throughout the series. Cartman (as he is commonly referred to) is amoral and increasingly psychopathic, and is commonly portrayed as an antagonist. His staunch antisemitism has resulted in a progressive rivalry with Kyle. Kenny, who comes from a poor family, tightly wears his parka hood to the point where it obscures most of his face and muffles his speech. During the first five seasons, Kenny died in almost every episode before reappearing in the next with no definite explanation. He was killed off in the fifth season episode "Kenny Dies", being reintroduced in the sixth season finale. Since then, Kenny is depicted as dying sporadically. During the first 58 episodes, the children were in the third grade. During the fourth season, they entered the fourth grade, where they have remained ever since.
Plots are often set in motion by events, ranging from the fairly typical to the supernatural and extraordinary, which frequently happen in the town. The boys often act as the voice of reason when these events cause panic or incongruous behavior among the adult populace, who are customarily depicted as irrational, gullible, and prone to overreaction. They are frequently confused by the contradictory and hypocritical behavior of their parents and other adults, and often perceive them as having distorted views on morality and society. | "South Park" is a comedic cartoon about four boys who live in a fictitious town called South Park, Colorado. The four boys are best friends and go on various adventures, where they run into situations that tackle moral and hypocritical situations they see from the adults in town. The show is a satire and often will center around a prevelant worldly topic. |

Based on the given text, please tell me which region and country a Troll Cross originated in, and what its intent is. | In Sweden, as well as Norway, a trollkors or troll cross is a bent piece of iron worn as an amulet to ward off malevolent magic, allegedly stemming from medieval Sweden. According to those claiming its authenticity it represented the Norse symbol of protection; thus if a Norseman wore this symbol, they believed that chances of falling into danger would decrease. However, although commonly thought of as a part of Swedish folklore, it was first created—as an item of jewelry—by the smith Kari Erlands from western Dalarna, sometime in the late 1990s. It was claimed to have been a copy of a protective rune found at her grandparents' farm, but this has not been verified. While it does bear some resemblance to the othala rune in Elder Futhark and Anglo-Saxon runic writing systems, it is more likely that Erlands mistook a Bumerke for a protective symbol. | The Troll Cross originated in the western Dalarna region of Sweden.

Cisse has apologised to Evans after reacting while the Man United defender has denied all allegations . Van Gaal said: 'I have spoken with Jonny and that is why I am late. 'When he was spitting on the ground maybe it was a human reaction. It was not his intention and I believe him.' The FA are waiting for referee Anthony Taylor's report. As he missed the incident between Jonny Evans and Pappis Cisse, it is unlikely the it will be included in his report - meaning the FA can retrospectively punish the pair. Hull striker George Boyd was banned for three games last season after being found guilty of spitting at Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart. However, the FA have issued new guidelines to move in line with new FIFA guidelines meaning Evans and Cisse could now be banned for six games. Asked about whether he feared the FA would charge Evans, Van Gaal replied briefly. He said: 'I think the FA is very wise.' Evans released a statement on Thursday, denying the allegations that he spat at the Newcastle striker. The statement on Manchester United's official website read: 'Having woken up this morning I am shocked to have seen the media coverage from last night's match. I would like to make it clear that I did not spit at Papiss Cisse. 'I was totally unaware of any spitting incident and had assumed that the issue at the time was with the challenge and his attempted retaliation to the tackle from the floor. During the game Papiss Cisse and I spoke about the incident and it is clear by my reaction in the television footage that I was totally surprised by any suggestion of spitting. 'It is not in my character or in my nature to spit at anybody nor is it something I have ever done or would ever do. It is certainly not something that I did last night.' Conversely, Papiss Cisse has said since apologised to his team-mates, fans, and even Evans, saying he spat back at the Northern Irishman as a reaction to something 'very unpleasant.' | Louis van Gaal insisted he has a good relationship with Ryan Giggs .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Inhaling deeply, the BBC’s ex-royal correspondent tries cannabis as part of a TV experiment examining the effects of types of the drug on the brain. In another scene Jennie Bond, 64, is seen giggling and talking about how much she loves eating grapes after experimenting with hash. A trailer for tonight’s programme asks: ‘Has Jennie got the munchies?’ Scroll down for videos . Jennie Bond, who worked as the BBC's royal correspondent for 14 years, inhaled potent 'skunk' cannabis as part of a six-month scientific experiment for a new Channel 4 programme called Drugs Live: Cannabis on Trial . The 64-year-old mother said she didn't like the experience of taking cannabis but 'certainly didn't hate it' Yesterday critics and experts accused Channel 4 of turning Drugs Live: Cannabis On Trial into little more than a stunt designed to boost ratings and glamorise the Class B drug. The programme sees 22 volunteers including Miss Bond, presenter Jon Snow and former Tory MP Matthew Parris take two sorts of cannabis – hash and high-strength skunk – plus a placebo. Each has tests including a brain scan, while changes to their mood, memories and emotions are monitored. Professor David Nutt, 63, who was sacked as the Government’s drugs tsar in 2009 for saying cannabis is less harmful than alcohol and nicotine, will appear as an expert, with University College London professor Val Curran. Professor Nutt’s charity DrugScience contributed funding towards the Channel 4 trial. She could be seen giggling with researchers at University College London where the six-month trial took place . Mary Brett, chairman of campaign group Cannabis Skunk Sense, said: ‘Skunk is a dreadful drug and it is very irresponsible to have a show with such biased experts. It will be a platform for Professor Nutt to peddle what he thinks about drugs to an audience of young people.’ Julia Manning, chief executive of independent think-tank 2020 Health, said: ‘What I don’t think we should be doing is encouraging experimentation with substances when there is no doubt these substances have significant side-effects. This is not about science, it’s about viewing figures. The legislation we have seems to be deterring drug taking so why do we need to open the Pandora’s box and encourage more experimentation? ‘It’s glamorising and trivialising the issue.’ Snow, 67, who was given a brain scan after trying the drug, said: ‘I’ve worked in war zones, but I’ve never been as overwhelmingly frightened as I was when I was in the MRI scanner after taking skunk. I would never do it again.’ The scientific experiment, which has been approved by the Home Office, is being documented to try and demonstrate the effects potent 'skunk' cannabis has on the brain. Ms Bond said the drug made her feel 'floaty' In the footage, Ms Bond can be seen discussing her love of red grapes after inhaling the potent cannabis . But critics were concerned the programme would not show the long-term impact of cannabis use. Fay Watson, secretary general of Europe Against Drugs, said: ‘Placing someone into a MRI scanner when they are under the influence may be useful to assess the immediate impacts of cannabis, but it’s not going to demonstrate the long-term harms people are most concerned about. ‘Cannabis use is associated with a wide range of negative side-effects such as anxiety, psychotic episodes, depression, cancer, stroke, as well as IQ decline in young people.’ Cannabis, the most widely used illegal drug in Britain, has been linked to long-term mental health problems including schizophrenia, and is known to cause anxiety and paranoia. Users also find it difficult to concentrate. Skunk is a potent form of cannabis that now dominates 80 per cent of the British market. Some believe it is far more addictive than other forms of cannabis and can provoke paranoid episodes, psychotic symptoms and memory loss. Ms Bond (pictured with Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall) worked as the BBC's royal correspondent for 14 years . Broadcaster Jon Snow (pictured) also took part in the scientific experiment which was Government-approved . Channel 4 said Professor Nutt, a Professor of Neuropsychopharmacology at Imperial College London, and Professor Curran ‘are two of the world’s leading experts on the effects of illegal drugs on the brain’. A spokesman said the pair had ‘collaborated on this ethically approved six-month cannabis trial at UCL. ‘[They] will describe the chemicals in cannabis that are responsible for the effects seen in the brain. They will explain how they differ between the two forms of the drug, as well as looking at the risks and the potentially positive effects of cannabis.’ The spokesman added: 'It is absolutely not the case that the programme or scientific trial encourage people to take cannabis or glamorise it – they are giving people the facts. 'Anyone seeing the video of Jon Snow taking "skunk" in the trial will understand the potentially negative effects of the drug.' Mr Snow said that smoking the more potent cannabis 'outstripped anything' he had previously experienced . Jennie Bond (pictured) took part in the experiment for C4 programme Drugs Live: Cannabis on Trial . I've been asked to do some pretty strange things in my time. Being buried in a coffin full of rats is just one of them. But I'm always up for a challenge, so when I was asked to take part in a drugs trial for Channel 4, I decided it would be both interesting and informative. The purpose of the trial was to show how skunk - the most common form of cannabis now sold on the streets - affects the brain and behaviour compared to weaker forms of cannabis. I was to be one of a number of volunteers to undergo the trial at University College London under the guidance of one of the world's leading experts on the effects of illegal drugs on the brain, Professor Val Curran. I smoked a bit of cannabis as a student at University. I enjoyed the mellowing effect, the relaxation and sometimes the uncontrollable giggling. So the idea of taking skunk didn't frighten me and I was intrigued to see how it differed from the weaker cannabis I used to smoke. I turned up for day one of the trial feeling nervous...mainly about how to inhale the stuff, as I gave up smoking more than thirty years ago. There was also the added twist of not knowing what I was taking. The trial was to be conducted over three separate days and I would be given skunk, low potency hash and a placebo. But I wasn't told - and still do not know - which I was given on each occasion. The first thing to say is that it wasn't in the least like the old days... lying back on velvet cushions in a darkened room, smoking weed and listening to Jimi Hendrix! The laboratory conditions, the camera in your face and the prospect of inhaling what seemed like gallons of the stuff through a vaporiser and a huge plastic bag was far from relaxing. It felt harsh in my throat and I had to inhale two whole bags of it. It smelled like cannabis and I felt a little dizzy. But, as I got used to the procedure, I felt no dramatic effects and decided this must be the placebo, which was rather disappointing. The next part of the experiment was to undergo a full MRI scan of the brain. Luckily I'm not claustrophobic (especially after being buried in a coffin in 'I'm A Celebrity') and find medical procedures fascinating. So,spending an hour in the scanner didn't bother me at all. In fact it was rather restful. During the scan I was asked to do a lengthy series of observation and memory tests. There was also a musical appreciation test, which struck me as rather odd but not too taxing. I felt fine, not at all stoned and I rather enjoyed the whole experience. The scientists were very encouraging, but I have no idea how well I did. I then had to inhale another huge bag of whatever it was and attempt another set of mental athletics. The tasks were straightforward enough: memorise a short report, select different coloured balls from jars you couldn't see, think of as many vegetables as possible. I was rubbish. I forgot almost the entire report, had no idea what I was doing with the balls and got fixated on vegetables beginning with the letter 'c' for some unknown reason. So was I stoned or just stupid? I still don't know - but I fear the latter! The second trial, a week, later, followed the same pattern. I felt I'd got better at inhaling and quite enjoyed the sweet smell. But, once again, I didn't feel particularly stoned. I suspected this was the cannabis of my University days. I do remember getting quite absurdly confused over the coloured balls test and finding it rather funny. And I was shocked that my blood pressure, normally quite low, had shot up to 150. Whatever I had taken clearly wasn't doing my body much good. When I arrived for my final trial, I was convinced I'd had the placebo and the cannabis...so this time it would be skunk. It seemed much harsher in my throat and I did feel quite stoned after the first two bags. It wasn't particularly pleasant; it made me rather dizzy but I also felt super relaxed. In the MRI scanner, the tests seemed no more difficult than before, but I had one hell of a job staying awake. After the third bag of whatever it was, I had an insatiable thirst and a love affair with a bunch of grapes! My memory was appalling again, but I don't think my concentration was badly affected. Once again, my blood pressure went through the roof. That scared me and made me realise just how dangerous drugs can be. I shall be intrigued to find out whether I was right about which substance I was given on each day. And it will be fascinating to see whether I was in fact a lot more stoned than I thought.
