Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Chinese relic experts claim that a 1,000-year-old mummified monk encased in a Buddha statue was stolen from a village temple in Eastern China in 1995, state media reported. The mummy made international headlines last year when it first showcased at Drents Museum in the Netherlands. The Cultural Relic Bureau in Fujian province launched an investigation and found photos and historical records suggesting the statue belonged to a village temple where it was worshiped as an ancestor. The bureau will continue the investigation and report to national cultural authorities to seek repatriation in compliance with normal procedures, a spokesperson told the state-run Xinhua news agency on Sunday. The statue, currently in possession of a Dutch private collector, was being housed at the Hungarian Natural History Museum as a part of a European tour. The museum announced on their website that the mummy, originally scheduled to be on display until May, has been pulled from the exhibition at "the request of the loaning partner" -- the Drents Museum. It's unclear exactly when or how the statue made its way to a market in the Netherlands where a private buyer bought it in 1996. Drents Museum said the owner, who prefers to remain anonymous, had bought it legally. The mummy was discovered when the owner brought it to an expert for restoration. But it wasn't until a team of researchers and scientists did a CT scan -- a comprehensive three dimensional X-ray image -- last year, did they discover the mummy's organs were missing. "We thought it would be lung tissue, but instead we found little scraps of paper covered with Chinese characters," said Vincent van Vilsteren, an archaeology curator from Drents Museum. The mummy was found sitting on a bundle of cloth covered in Chinese inscriptions, revealing its identity as a Buddhist monk called Liuquan who may have practiced "self-mummification" to prepare for life after death. The process of self-mummification is a known tradition in countries like Japan, China and Thailand, and was practiced more than a thousand years ago. The elaborate and arduous process includes eating a special diet and drinking a poisonous tea so the body would be too toxic to be eaten by maggots. The few monks that were able to successfully complete the process were highly revered. "We suspect that for the first 200 years, the mummy was exposed and worshiped in a Buddhist temple in China ... only in the 14th century did they do all the work to transform it into a nice statue," said van Vilsteren. Researchers are still waiting on DNA analysis results to help trace the mummy back to its exact location in China. | Chinese relic experts claim that a mummified monk encased in a statue was stolen .

Extract the different ways of dealing with underfitting mentioned in the text | Resolving underfitting
There are multiple ways to deal with underfitting:
1) Increase the complexity of the model: If the model is too simple, it may be necessary to increase its complexity by adding more features, increasing the number of parameters, or using a more flexible model. However, this should be done carefully to avoid overfitting.
2) Use a different algorithm: If the current algorithm is not able to capture the patterns in the data, it may be necessary to try a different one. For example, a neural network may be more effective than a linear regression model for some types of data.
3) Increase the amount of training data: If the model is underfitting due to lack of data, increasing the amount of training data may help. This will allow the model to better capture the underlying patterns in the data.
4) Regularization: Regularization is a technique used to prevent overfitting by adding a penalty term to the loss function that discourages large parameter values. It can also be used to prevent underfitting by controlling the complexity of the model.
5) Ensemble Methods: Ensemble methods combine multiple models to create a more accurate prediction. This can help to reduce underfitting by allowing multiple models to work together to capture the underlying patterns in the data.
6) Feature engineering: Feature engineering involves creating new model features from the existing ones that may be more relevant to the problem at hand. This can help to improve the accuracy of the model and prevent underfitting. | The different ways of deal with underfitting mentioned in the text are:

Generate a summary of the text | ISIS supporters have vowed to murder Twitter staff because they believe the site's policy of shutting down their extremist pages is a 'virtual war'. A mocked-up image of the site's founder Jack Dorsey in cross-hairs was posted yesterday alongside a diatribe written in Arabic, which claimed Twitter employees' necks are 'a target for the soldiers of the Caliphate'. Addressing Mr Dorsey personally, it claimed Twitter was taking sides in a 'media war' which allowed 'slaughter', adding: 'Your virtual war on us will cause a real war on you.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | It had to be James Milner, didn't it? The man who already has social media history woke up this morning to find himself, once again, the unwitting subject of sniggers around the globe when a video of him being nutmegged by Lionel Messi before awkwardly tumbling on the Nou Camp went viral. In the stands Pep Guardiola put his hands to his face while up in the commentary box Gary Neville branded it 'barbaric'. James Milner (right) attempts to shackle Lionel Messi during Manchester City's European exit . Milner's spoof Twitter account Boring James Milner has amassed over 389,000 followers . No matter that his team-mate Fernandinho befell the same fate moments earlier, it was funny because it was Milner. Milner whose clean cut, straight-talking Yorkshireness spawned the spoof @boringmilner Twitter account (last count 389,000 followers). Milner who we poke fun at because he is the antithesis of everything we say we loathe about footballers. No drunken late nights partying, sordid kiss-and-tells or dummy-spitting rows with managers to see here. Unfortunately, Milner will be remembered as being the victim of Messi's genius at the Nou Camp . Dutch manager Ruud Gullit took to Twitter and added: 'OMG. Messi made Milner famous' Bolton's on-loan midfielder Barry Bannan wrote Messi 'ain't human' after his ridiculous skills . The inference behind the giggles was loud and clear - the dour Englishman was shown up by the silky-skilled Argentinian master and he really had no right to be on the same pitch. But who does? Not many on the planet could have lived with Messi as he waltzed and weaved through the parting sky blue seas on Wednesday night. At times it appeared as though he was playing a different sport. Milner was not alone in being made to look foolish. Messi was in stunning form, producing an incredulous nutmeg that drew gasps from the football world . Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland echoed Gary Neville, tweeting 'watching the game with my legs closed' The Argentina ace leaves Milner on the floor after passing the ball through his legs and skipping past him . He will, however, take all of this in his stride. The latest twist in a season which, for him, has been far from boring. Once again, he has played all over the park. Central midfield, full back, wing - when Manuel Pellegrini suffered a striker shortage he even put him up front. And the Chilean, in a rare dropping of the guard, was quick to praise his Mr Versatile in an interview before City's 1-0 defeat. 'It would be very difficult to find a more complete player than [James] Milner,’ Pellegrini told Sportsmail. ‘There are players who are better technically. There are quicker players. 'There are players who head the ball better. But show me a player who does all the things that Milner does well and there isn’t one.' Darts player Adrian 'Jackpot' Lewis wrote on Twitter that 'Messi could nutmeg a mermaid' Former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola witnessed Milner's embarrassment from the stands . Queens Park Rangers striker Charlie Austin wrote that Guardiola's reaction said it all about Messi's skills . Milner drops to his knees as City fail to reach the Champions League last eight for the fourth year in a row . Messi inspired the Catalans to a 1-0 victory (3-1 on aggregate) on Wednesday to send Barcelona through . In what could have been a testimonial dinner speech, the appreciative manager added: 'Whatever position I put him in he plays well: at full back – which is the only place he doesn’t like playing– attacking midfield, wide, or as a striker. I used him this season as a forward and the team was scoring three goals a game. ‘You leave him on the bench and he is furious, but watch him during the game, encouraging and shouting. And in the next training session he kills it for 95 minutes. 'It’s very difficult to find another Milner – an intelligent player, with big balls and a massive heart.’ Manuel Pellegrini insists that it would be difficult to find a more 'complete' player than Milner . Milner has only started 15 Premier League games, making most of his appearances from the bench . All of the above counts for nothing when the Twittersphere goes into a mean meltdown. But it matters to others who are ready to pounce should City fail to reach an agreement to extend a deal that runs out in the summer. At home, Liverpool and Arsenal have registered an interest. At the turn of the year there were approaches from clubs abroad and offers of pre-contract agreements. None were signed because Milner, as always, wants to do the right thing and to him that is honouring the deal he signed at the Etihad Stadium. Pellegrini is keen to get a new deal done. But the man with big balls is playing hard ball - and he has every right to do so. The England international scores from a free-kick to earn a point against Hull in February .

Why did the founders of YouTube start with money? | YouTube was founded by Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim. The trio were early employees of PayPal, which left them enriched after the company was bought by eBay. Hurley had studied design at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and Chen and Karim studied computer science together at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
According to a story that has often been repeated in the media, Hurley and Chen developed the idea for YouTube during the early months of 2005, after they had experienced difficulty sharing videos that had been shot at a dinner party at Chen's apartment in San Francisco. Karim did not attend the party and denied that it had occurred, but Chen remarked that the idea that YouTube was founded after a dinner party "was probably very strengthened by marketing ideas around creating a story that was very digestible".
Karim said the inspiration for YouTube first came from the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, when Janet Jackson's breast was briefly exposed by Justin Timberlake during the halftime show. Karim could not easily find video clips of the incident and the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami online, which led to the idea of a video-sharing site. Hurley and Chen said that the original idea for YouTube was a video version of an online dating service and had been influenced by the website Hot or Not. They created posts on Craigslist asking attractive women to upload videos of themselves to YouTube in exchange for a $100 reward. Difficulty in finding enough dating videos led to a change of plans, with the site's founders deciding to accept uploads of any video.
The YouTube logo used from its launch until 2007; it returned in 2008 before being removed again in 2010. Another version of this logo without the "Broadcast Yourself" slogan was used until 2011.
YouTube began as a venture capital–funded technology startup. Between November 2005 and April 2006, the company raised money from various investors, with Sequoia Capital, $11.5 million, and Artis Capital Management, $8 million, being the largest two. YouTube's early headquarters were situated above a pizzeria and a Japanese restaurant in San Mateo, California. In February 2005, the company activated www.youtube.com. The first video was uploaded April 23, 2005. Titled Me at the zoo, it shows co-founder Jawed Karim at the San Diego Zoo and can still be viewed on the site. In May, the company launched a public beta and by November, a Nike ad featuring Ronaldinho became the first video to reach one million total views. The site launched officially on December 15, 2005, by which time the site was receiving 8 million views a day. Clips at the time were limited to 100 megabytes, as little as 30 seconds of footage.
YouTube was not the first video-sharing site on the Internet; Vimeo was launched in November 2004, though that site remained a side project of its developers from CollegeHumor at the time and did not grow much, either. The week of YouTube's launch, NBC-Universal's Saturday Night Live ran a skit "Lazy Sunday" by The Lonely Island. Besides helping to bolster ratings and long-term viewership for Saturday Night Live, "Lazy Sunday"'s status as an early viral video helped establish YouTube as an important website. Unofficial uploads of the skit to YouTube drew in more than five million collective views by February 2006 before they were removed when NBCUniversal requested it two months later based on copyright concerns. Despite eventually being taken down, these duplicate uploads of the skit helped popularize YouTube's reach and led to the upload of more third-party content. The site grew rapidly; in July 2006, the company announced that more than 65,000 new videos were being uploaded every day and that the site was receiving 100 million video views per day.
The choice of the name www.youtube.com led to problems for a similarly named website, www.utube.com. That site's owner, Universal Tube & Rollform Equipment, filed a lawsuit against YouTube in November 2006 after being regularly overloaded by people looking for YouTube. Universal Tube subsequently changed its website to www.utubeonline.com. | Steve Chen, Chad Hurley, and Jawed Karim were early employees of PayPal, was bought by eBay. |
How did early civilizations use dates and dried fruits? | Traditional dried fruit such as raisins, figs, dates, apricots and apples have been a staple of Mediterranean diets for millennia. This is due partly to their early cultivation in the Middle Eastern region known as the Fertile Crescent, made up by parts of modern Iran, Iraq, southwest Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, and northern Egypt. Drying or dehydration also happened to be the earliest form of food preservation: grapes, dates, and figs that fell from the tree or vine would dry in the hot sun. Early hunter-gatherers observed that these fallen fruit took on an edible form, and valued them for their stability as well as their concentrated sweetness.
The earliest recorded mention of dried fruits can be found in Mesopotamian tablets dating to about 1500 BC, which contain what are probably the oldest known written recipes. These clay slabs, written in Akkadian, the daily language of Babylonia, were inscribed in cuneiform and tell of diets based on grains (barley, millet, wheat), vegetables and fruits such as dates, figs, apples, pomegranates, and grapes. These early civilizations used dates, date juice evaporated into syrup and raisins as sweeteners. They included dried fruits in their breads for which they had more than 300 recipes, from simple barley bread for the workers to very elaborate, spiced cakes with honey for the palaces and temples.
The date palm was one of the first cultivated trees. It was domesticated in Mesopotamia more than 5,000 years ago. It grew abundantly in the Fertile Crescent and it was so productive (an average date palm produces 50 kg (100 lbs) of fruit a year for 60 years or more) that dates were the cheapest of staple foods. Because they were so valuable, they were well recorded in Assyrian and Babylonian monuments and temples. The villagers in Mesopotamia dried them and ate them as sweets. Whether fresh, soft-dried or hard-dried, they helped to give character to meat dishes and grain pies. They were valued by travelers for their energy and were recommended as stimulants against fatigue.
Figs were also prized in early Mesopotamia, Palestine, Israel, and Egypt where their daily use was probably greater than or equal to that of dates. As well as appearing in wall paintings, many specimens have been found in Egyptian tombs as funerary offerings. In Greece and Crete, figs grew very readily and they were the staple of poor and rich alike, particularly in their dried form.
Grape cultivation first began in Armenia and the eastern regions of the Mediterranean in the 4th century BC. Raisins were produced by drying grapes in the hot desert sun. Very quickly, viticulture and raisin production spread across northern Africa including Morocco and Tunisia. The Phoenicians and the Egyptians popularized the production of raisins, probably due to the perfect arid environment for sun drying. They put them in jars for storage and allotted them to the different temples by the thousands. They also added them to breads and various pastries, some made with honey, some with milk and eggs.
From the Middle East, these fruits spread through Greece to Italy where they became a major part of the diet. Ancient Romans consumed raisins in spectacular quantities and at all levels of society, including them as a key part of their common meals, along with olives and fresh fruits. Raisined breads were common for breakfast and were consumed with their grains, beans, and cultured milks. Raisins were so valued that they transcended the food realm and became rewards for successful athletes, as well as premium barter currency.
Having dried fruits was essential in ancient Rome as these instructions for housekeepers around 100 BC tell: "She must keep a supply of cooked food on hand for you and the servants. She must keep many hens and have plenty of eggs. She must have a large store of dried pears, sorbs, figs, raisins, sorbs in must, preserved pears and grapes and quinces. She must also keep preserved grapes in grape-pulp and in pots buried in the ground, as well as fresh Praenestine nuts kept in the same way, and Scantian quinces in jars, and other fruits that are usually preserved, as well as wild fruits. All these she must store away diligently every year."
Figs were also extremely popular in Rome. Dried figs were added to bread and formed a major part of the winter food of country people. They were rubbed with spices such as cumin, anise and fennel seeds, or toasted sesame, wrapped in fig leaves and stored in jars. Today, major producing regions include Israel, Jerusalem, Gaza and many other Arabic countries. Dried figs are rich in vitamins, phosphorus and various other important minerals.
Plums, apricots and peaches had their origins in Asia. They were domesticated in China in the 3rd millennium BC and spread to the Fertile Crescent where they were also very popular, fresh and dried alike. They arrived in Greece and Italy much later and were very expensive but valued in the preparation of gourmet dishes with port or stewed with honey and spices. | Early civilizations used dates, date juice evaporated into syrup and raisins as sweeteners.

What are the native animals of Antarctica? | Antarctica (/ænˈtɑːrktɪkə/) is Earth's southernmost and least-populated continent. Situated almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle and surrounded by the Southern Ocean (also known as the Antarctic Ocean), it contains the geographic South Pole. Antarctica is the fifth-largest continent, being about 40% larger than Europe, and has an area of 14,200,000 km2 (5,500,000 sq mi). Most of Antarctica is covered by the Antarctic ice sheet, with an average thickness of 1.9 km (1.2 mi).
Antarctica is, on average, the coldest, driest, and windiest of the continents, and it has the highest average elevation. It is mainly a polar desert, with annual precipitation of over 200 mm (8 in) along the coast and far less inland. About 70% of the world's freshwater reserves are frozen in Antarctica, which, if melted, would raise global sea levels by almost 60 metres (200 ft). Antarctica holds the record for the lowest measured temperature on Earth, −89.2 °C (−128.6 °F). The coastal regions can reach temperatures over 10 °C (50 °F) in summer. Native species of animals include mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades. Where vegetation occurs, it is mostly in the form of lichen or moss.
The ice shelves of Antarctica were probably first seen in 1820, during a Russian expedition led by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev. The decades that followed saw further exploration in French, American, and British expeditions. The first confirmed landing was by a Norwegian team in 1895. In the early 20th century, there were a few expeditions into the interior of the continent. British explorers were the first to reach the magnetic South Pole in 1909, and the geographic South Pole was first reached in 1911 by Norwegian explorers. | Native species of animals in Antarctica include mites, nematodes, penguins, seals and tardigrades. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Every transfer window, clubs scramble to pick up the best bargains, and fans argue over who their side really need. But, seven months after last summer's window swung shut,which of those deals have proved to be value for money? As we reach the business end of the season, now is the time for the men brought in to start really showing their worth. But who have been the best signings of the season so far? Sportsmail takes a look... 10 - ANDER HERRERA . Athletic Bilbao to Manchester United . Well, he finally became a hit after being allowed to play consistently. Makes Manchester United tick, has an eye for a pass and gets himself involved in the final third, making sure the main striker doesn’t have to come searching for possession. It’s a mystery why Louis van Gaal didn’t fancy the former Athletic Bilbao midfielder to begin with, but he has really made his mark since enjoying a real run in the team. They do love a classy caresser of a ball at Old Trafford, which clearly works in his favour. Ander Herrera has finally begun to show his class at Old Trafford after a slow start under Louis van Gaal . The Spaniard has become a key part of United's midfield, allowing the likes of Juan Mata to flourish . 9 - DARYL JANMAAT . Feyenoord to Newcastle United . Mr Dependable, which is a name you do not normally associate with Newcastle defenders. It is baffling that Van Gaal - who must have known he needed a right back on arriving at Manchester United - did not feel the need to sign a player he started in every World Cup fixture for Holland. Cheap and pleased for the opportunity in the Premier League, Alan Pardew and Graham Carr did their homework on this signing and it’s helped no end at the back for the Magpies. Daryl Janmaat has proved excellent value for Newcastle, becoming a regular at right back in his first season . Janmaat is a Dutch international star, and Newcastle did well to pick him up for such a small fee last summer . 8 - TOBY ALDERWEIRELD . Atletico Madrid to Southampton (loan) Nine clean sheets for Southampton with the Belgian defender in the team and - despite him making noises that he probably won’t be around next season - they have easily coped with the loss od Dejan Lovren to Liverpool. Quick enough for the Premier League, he’s kept up with the best and added a touch of class at the back for Saints. Toby Alderweireld has shown the pace and class needed in the Premier League since joining Saints on loan . 7 - RYAN BERTRAND . Chelsea to Southampton (loan and then permanent) Luke Shaw’s boots may be small in a literal sense, but figuratively Bertrand had a job on. Southampton were smarting at losing their teenage sensation who careered down the left last season, but it’s as if he was never really there as the former Chelsea man carries equal threat going forward and has actually appeared more comfortable defensively. What good business it was then to get Bertrand snapped up on a permanent deal in January. Ryan Bertrand and Nathaniel Clyne have been inspirational at full backs for Southampton this season . After signing him on loan in the summer, securing Bertrand permanently looks like a masterstroke . 6 - GRAZIANO PELLE . Feyenoord to Southampton . A fairly unknown quantity on signing from Feyenoord for £8m, Pelle’s physical presence and deftness of touch has made him a huge hit on the south coast. Important goals and some panache to go with it, the Italian has earned his first international call-up while on Ronald Koeman’s watch and carries a severe threat inside the 18-yard box. Even after his goals have dried up somewhat, Graziano Pelle' strength and quality have been a major asset . Pelle's goalscoring start to the season earned him his first Italian caps, and he scored on his debut . 5 - MAME BIRAM DIOUF . Free agent to Stoke City . A deceptively effective forward, and terrific value for money for free. Diouf struggled at Blackburn but redefined himself in the Bundesliga with Hannover and has taken that goalscoring form to the Potteries. Scoring more than one in every three starts, the Senegalese has chipped in with crucial goals for Stoke and has been a relatively unsung hero this year. Edges out Southampton’s Sadio Mane in this list based on the respective transfer fees (Mane cost £11.8m) and amount of chances their sides create. Mame Biram Diouf has chipped in with vital goals for Stoke at an impressive record since joining for free . Despite a tough time in his previous spell in England, the Senegalese star has proved his worth this season . Diouf launches into his trademark celebration after scoring one of his nine Stoke gaols this season . 4 - DIAFRA SAKHO . Metz to West Ham United . Has suffered a couple of injuries, but that hasn’t had any lasting effect on his impact at Upton Park in a debut season. Sniffs out goals from nowhere and has that low centre of gravity which has defenders quaking. Strong in the air and with his back to goal, Sakho brings others into play as well as netting on a regular basis. Had he not come back from international duty injured, the Senegalese might have been pushing Harry Kane and Costa for the golden boot. Diafra Sakho's goals were a big part of West Ham's brilliant start to this season, after signing from Metz . The Senegalese striker has shown he can score with his head as well as his feet, and has proved great value . 3 - DIEGO COSTA . Atletico Madrid to Chelsea . That blistering start to the season means Costa will be in every list similar to this from now until May. His 19 Premier League goals are one of the chief reasons why Chelsea look like winning the title. But it’s not all about hitting the back of the net - fans at Stamford Bridge have also bought into his style of play. The Spain international bullies defenders, shakes their confidence and is fairly nasty. Proper Chelsea. Diego Costa has endeared himself to Chelsea fans with his nasty side, showing aggression as well as quality . Costa's 19 Premier League goals already have fired Chelsea to the brink of the title . 2 - CESC FABREGAS . Barcelona to Chelsea . Where would Costa have been without Fabregas? Back in the capital, albeit over the other side, his campaign got off to a similarly stunning start, assisting almost at will as Chelsea battered all those put in front of them. Yes, there is an argument to suggest his form has dipped, but Fabregas is worthy of making the list because of that reintroduction to English football. You get the sense he could move through the gears if necessary, too. Providing more assists than any other player by far, Cesc Fabregas' Premier League return has been superb . His form may have dropped off since the turn of the year, but Fabregas has still been a stand-out star . Offering more defensively than at previous clubs, Fabregas has become the complete midfielder this season . 1 - ALEXIS SANCHEZ . Barcelona to Arsenal . A game-changer. Someone who is capable of turning no points into three and putting opposition to the sword. Fierce in possession, his burst of pace can unlock defences in a flash. Not happy playing second fiddle to Neymar and Lionel Messi at Barcelona, Sanchez has proven this term that he is one of the premier forwards in world football and shown to Arsene Wenger why it’s probably wise to shell out on quality every now and again. Alexis Sanchez's pace and skill have proved to be a match-winning combination since he joined Arsenal . The Chilean forward has provided superb goals and stunning displays since leaving Barcelona this summer . No signing has had as great an impact on their new side this season as Arsenal's Chilean superstar . | Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez has been superb since signing from Barcelona .

Where is Amazon rainforest located? | The Amazon rainforest, also called Amazon jungle or Amazonia, is a moist broadleaf tropical rainforest in the Amazon biome that covers most of the Amazon basin of South America. This basin encompasses 7,000,000 km2 (2,700,000 sq mi), of which 5,500,000 km2 (2,100,000 sq mi) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations and 3,344 formally acknowledged indigenous territories.
The majority of the forest, 60%, is in Brazil, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%, and with minor amounts in Bolivia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Guyana, Suriname, and Venezuela. Four nations have "Amazonas" as the name of one of their first-level administrative regions, and France uses the name "Guiana Amazonian Park" for French Guiana's protected rainforest area. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and comprises the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world, with an estimated 390 billion individual trees in about 16,000 species.[ | The Amazon jungle is located in South America.

It has digital strings that stand in for a guitar’s, for example, or separate notes and areas so it can be played like a piano, where frets become keys. The sound of notes can be changed by using guitar techniques on the fingerboard or by strumming on the bridge, as well as pressing hard and softly. ‘If you’re a drummer or a DJ, transform a whole fret into a pressure-sensing pad like a drum machine,’ the firm said. ‘And if you want to play a violin or pedal steel, slide your fingers along the strings to create sweeping fretless melodies.’ The device enables musicians to re-tune it instantly and turn frets on and off, allowing people to slide between notes seamlessly and use vibrato to make the sound ‘quiver’ - a technique used by professional violinists.

What is Good Friday? | Good Friday is a Christian holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Calvary. It is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum. It is also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Great and Holy Friday (also Holy and Great Friday), and Black Friday.
Members of many Christian denominations, including the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Methodist, Oriental Orthodox, United Protestant and some Reformed traditions (including certain Continental Reformed, Presbyterian and Congregationalist churches), observe Good Friday with fasting and church services. In many Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Methodist churches, the Service of the Great Three Hours' Agony is held from noon until 3 pm, the time duration that the Bible records as darkness covering the land to Jesus' sacrificial death on the cross. Communicants of the Moravian Church have a Good Friday tradition of cleaning gravestones in Moravian cemeteries.
The date of Good Friday varies from one year to the next in both the Gregorian and Julian calendars. Eastern and Western Christianity disagree over the computation of the date of Easter and therefore of Good Friday. Good Friday is a widely instituted legal holiday around the world, including in most Western countries and 12 U.S. states. Some predominantly Christian countries, such as Germany, have laws prohibiting certain acts such as dancing and horse racing, in remembrance of the somber nature of Good Friday. | Good Friday is a Christian holiday to remember the crucifixion of Jesus.

What are 3 differences between the arabica and robusta species of coffee? | Of the two main species grown, arabica coffee (from C. arabica) is generally more highly regarded than robusta coffee (from C. canephora). Robusta coffee tends to be bitter and has less flavor but a better body than arabica. For these reasons, about three-quarters of coffee cultivated worldwide is C. arabica. Robusta strains also contain about 40–50% more caffeine than arabica. Consequently, this species is used as an inexpensive substitute for arabica in many commercial coffee blends. Good quality robusta beans are used in traditional Italian espresso blends to provide a full-bodied taste and a better foam head (known as crema). | First, robusta is considered to be more bitter and less flavorful than arabica. Second, robusta contains 40-50% more caffeine that arabica. Third, because of the higher bitterness and less flavorful quality of robusta, about 75% of all coffee cultivated in the world is arabica making it much more popular than robusta. |

However, in contrast, the Newcastle star has offered his apologies after reacting to something 'very unpleasant'. Evans clashed with the opposing striker during United's 1-0 victory at St James' Park, with both appearing to spit at each other. Cisse was also pictured wiping something off of his face. But Evans says he is shocked by the accusations and that it is not in his character to do anything of the sort, despite the footage, and Cisse's letter of apology, indicating that he did in fact spit at the Senegalese international. Jonny Evans (left) and Papiss Cisse clash after an unsavoury incident on Wednesday night . Manchester United defender Jonny Evans appeared to launch spit in the direction of the floored Cisse . Newcastle striker Cisse subsequently retaliated and appeared to aim spit of his own back at the United man . 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. Evans' 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.' However, while Cisse has said sorry to his team-mates, fans, and even Evans, he said his spit back in the Northern Irishman's direction was a reaction. 'I have apologies to make to a lot of people today,' Cisse said. 'Firstly to my teammates and to our supporters, secondly to Jonny Evans, and thirdly to every football fan who saw the incident between myself and Jonny. 'I reacted to something I found very unpleasant. Sometimes it is hard not to react, particularly in the heat of the moment. I have always tried hard to be positive a role model, especially for our young fans, and yesterday I let you down. 'I hope children out there playing football for their clubs and schools this weekend will know better than to retaliate when they are angry. Perhaps when they see the problem it now causes me and my team they will be able to learn from my mistake, not copy it.' Cisse has apologised for Evans after reacting while the Man United defender has denied all allegations . The pair tangled during the first half of the Premier League clash and appeared to aim kicks at each other before the situation turned even more unsavoury. The referee missed the incident meaning the FA, who are waiting for Anthony Taylor's report, can ban the pair retrospectively for six games each. Last season Hull City striker George Boyd was banned for three matches after being found guilty of spitting at Manchester City goalkeeper Joe Hart. However, the FA upped the punishment for spitting to six games to come in line with new FIFA guidelines, which state that any player 'dismissed from the Field of Play for spitting at an opponent or any other person' will be suspended 'following the match in which he was sent off until such time as his Club has completed its next six matches in approved Competitions.' If found guilty, Cisse will be banned for an extra game because of a previous violent conduct ban for elbowing Everton's Seamus Coleman. Afterwards, Van Gaal defended Evans. 'I did not see that (incident) from the bench, but I cannot imagine he would do that,' said the Dutchman. If found guilty, Papiss Cisse will be banned for an extra game because of a previous violent conduct ban . Cisse elbowed Everton defender Seamus Coleman during Newcastle's 3-2 victory in December . Newcastle head coach John Carver said: 'You can't do it can you? It's one of the worst things in football. 'But I can't comment on it, I just know there was a fracas on the halfway line and I need to have a look at it.' Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes, covering the match as a pundit for BT Sport, slammed Cisse while suggesting Evans wasn't a guilty party. 'I think Jonny is spitting on the floor. I know Jonny, he's not that type of person,' he said. 'If he wants to do that then it's not hard to miss, is it? He's only stood a yard away from him. What Cisse does afterwards is unforgivable.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Victor Arden Barnard, an American pastor wanted for 59 counts of sexual assaults in Minnesota, was arrested by Brazilian authorities on Friday, the office of the governor for the State of Rio Grande do Norte said Saturday. The 53-year-old suspect was wanted by the Pine County, Minnesota, Sheriff's Office for allegedly sexually abusing two young girls who were members of his church, the U.S Marshals Service said. Barnard -- who was featured on CNN's "The Hunt With John Walsh" in 2014 and again earlier this week -- was last seen in the United States in Raymond, Washington, in 2014. In April of that year, prosecutors in Pine County, Minnesota, issued a criminal complaint that accused him of 59 felony counts of criminal sexual conduct. The manhunt began after a two-year investigation into allegations from two women about Barnard's alleged conduct while he was preaching to a religious group in Finlayson, Minnesota. Barnard was featured on the United States Marshal's 15 Most Wanted List along with a $25,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. He was also wanted for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution. A 33-year-old woman was also arrested, Brazilian authorities said. As a pastor, Victor Barnard inspired his congregants with his charisma and apparent devotion to the teachings of Jesus Christ. "I had never met anybody that I thought loved the word of God as much as Victor Barnard did," Ruth Johnson, a former member of Barnard's River Road Fellowship, told "The Hunt." David Larsen, a former leader of the River Road Fellowship, said he helped Barnard set up a so-called "shepherd's camp" in the mid-1990s in Pine County to help bring more people into the church. Several of his congregants, including Johnson, moved to the rural area about 100 miles north of Minneapolis to be a part of the camp. In June of 2000, the charismatic religious leader allegedly convinced some members of his congregation to hand over their firstborn daughters to live with him in the secluded campsite. Lindsay Tornambe's name was called and her parents allowed their 13-year-old daughter to join the group of girls at the camp, called "The Maidens," under Barnard's supervision. She and other congregants said the girls got up early, sewed, cooked and cleaned for Barnard. "Everything that a wife would do, they did for him," Johnson said. Barnard proclaimed he was Christ on Earth. "He taught that in the Bible, the church was the bride of Christ and because he was Christ in the flesh, the church was supposed to be married to him," Tornambe said. "At that time I didn't really understand the fullness of what it meant." The complaint filed in Minnesota says Tornambe alleges that she was sexually abused by Barnard from the ages of 13 to 22 while she and her parents were members of River Road Fellowship. Tornambe told investigators the group of 10 young girls and women were known as Alamoths, or maidens. Her group was sent to what she thought was a summer camp, the document says. Tornambe told investigators that she estimated that Barnard sexually assaulted her one to three times a month until she left in 2010 to be with her parents, who had moved to Pennsylvania. In fall 2011, she was contacted by another former maiden who shared a similar story: she said she was molested by Barnard from the time she was 12 until she was 20, although she said the number of sexual acts varied each month. Tornambe and the other woman went to the police in Minnesota. Barnard had moved to Washington state after an admission to affairs with married women caused the religious group to split, the complaint says. The ministry operated in a secluded area of Pine County from about 2000 until 2011 or 2012, Chief Deputy Steven Blackwell of the county sheriff's office told CNN in 2014. The fellowship vacated the property shortly after a new sheriff was elected and began investigating the ministry, Blackwell said. The Salvation Army now runs a family camp there, he said at the time.

England midfielder Jack Wilshere played 45 minutes and opened the scoring in a friendly against Brentford - his first run-out for the team since suffering an injury against Manchester United in November. Club captain Mikel Arteta, also absent since November, managed to get through the first half, while French full back Mathieu Debuchy completed 60 minutes.

Diaby has played just once this season for the first team - in the Capital One Cup - and three games for the Under 21s. He is hoping to prove himself worthy of a new contract after a career blighted with injuries. The quartet could now be available for the visit of Brendan Rodgers' side this weekend.

Generate a summary of the text | Claims: Aleksandar Kovacic, pictured outside the High Court in London today, said he could barely walk after a fatal head-on collision in 2010 . A 40-year-old man who was seeking nearly £1million in damages after a fatal head-on collision will not receive any of the money after he was secretly filmed enjoying a family trip to the seaside. Aleksandar Kovacic said he could barely walk and was incapable of returning to his job as a support worker after the crash in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, in March 2010. The aspiring social worker was awarded £97,000 in damages - a fraction of the amount he sought - but is unlikely to see any of it after being ordered to pay back insurers and cover legal fees. A senior judge ruled he had 'exaggerated' his disabilities and tried to 'play-act' his way to a huge payout at London's High Court today. Aspiring social worker Mr Kovacic suffered serious injuries when 68-year-old Norma Wroe drove into the path of his car on the A422 near Newport Pagnell. Mrs Wroe died in the crash. He suffered fractures to both legs, his right arm, a rib and his back, as well as soft tissue damage, and remained in hospital for two months. He also had to undergo further surgery on two occasions after developing infections in his wounds. Mr Kovacic, from Bedford, Bedfordshire, sued Mrs Wroe's estate and her insurers, Aviva, for £900,000 in damages. Aviva admitted the crash was caused by Mrs Wroe's negligence. In his claim, which was initially supported by clinical experts, Mr Kovacic said he could barely walk, was unable to work and was suffering depression. But Aviva's suspicions were raised and he was placed under surveillance in 2013. Footage shot by private investigators also showed him driving nearly 200 miles on a day out with his family, taking his children to school and climbing in and out of his car with ease. He was also seen walking without a stick and carrying heavy items. However, he did use his stick, and appeared to limp and get in and out of a taxi with difficulty, while attending an appointment with a Harley Street medical expert for the defence. After viewing the videos, which were recorded on nine days over several weeks, Judge Neil Bidder said he was sure Mr Kovacic's description of his disabilities 'simply could not be believed'. All of the experts who had backed Mr Kovacic's case changed their opinions in light of the footage. Aviva had offered to settle his claim for £350,000, but he insisted on fighting for more in court even after his lawyers withdrew from the case. Mr Kovacic, who represented himself, told the High Court in London that the undercover footage was 'unrepresentative' and did not show him on his 'bad days'. He insisted that he could not return to his job or achieve his ultimate career aim of training to be a social worker. But Judge Bidder said the odds against him only having been filmed on his 'bad days' were 'huge'. He told the court: 'I have concluded that Mr Kovacic can simply not be believed in relation to his condition and, except where his claim is supported by reliable other evidence, I am unable to accept his account.' 'I'm afraid that, having seen him give his evidence and having seen the DVDs, I am driven to the conclusion that he deliberately exaggerated his condition.' 'Could not be believed' A senior judge ruled Mr Kovacic had 'exaggerated' his disabilities and tried to 'play-act' his way to a huge payout at London's High Court today, pictured. He was awarded £97,525 in damages . The judge also said that he would have been able to keep his job, from which he was let go in 2012 after nearly two years on sick leave, had he not exaggerated his condition. He added: 'I'm afraid to say that I find as a fact that, had he not been exaggerating his symptoms, but returned to work prior to March 2012, he would not have been dismissed by his employers.' The judge found that Mr Kovacic was entitled to £97,525 damages from the date of his accident to when he substantially recovered, which was about the end of 2011. However, he will not see any of the cash, and Aviva's lawyers said he would probably end up owing the insurance company money. He had received interim compensation before Aviva's suspicions were raised and was also ordered to pay legal costs which are likely to run into six figures. | Aleksandar Kovacic suffered serious injuries in head-on collision in 2010 .

The absence of Daniel Sturridge, withdrawn from the squad with a hip injury, has boosted the Tottenham striker’s chances of being included in the first eleven. Cahill has faced Kane three times playing for Chelsea this season and was given a torrid time by the forward when he scored twice in Spurs’ 5-3 win on New Years' Day. Harry Kane could cap his first England squad call-up with a starting place against Lithuania on Friday night . England defender Gary Cahill (right) believes Kane would be ready to start for the Three Lions if selected . Kane trained with the England senior squad for the first time at St George's Park on Tuesday morning . Asked how Kane was fitting into training after getting his first call-up to the national squad, Cahill replied: ‘Really good. He’s been a real handful every time I’ve played against him. He’s a fantastic talent, not just holding the ball up but running in behind defenders. For me he’s got all the attributes a striker needs. ‘He scored a hat-trick just before his first meet-up with the England team is ideal so his confidence will be sky high. He’s still a young boy and it’s his first time in the squad. It’s always a bit daunting.’ Kane, still only 21, scored a treble against Leicester at the weekend to take his tally to 29 in all competitions, joint-top Premier League scorer with Diego Costa on 19 goals. Wayne Rooney and Danny Welbeck are both available, but Cahill is confident Kane will be ready if England manager Roy Hodgson decides to throw him in. ‘That’s down to the manager,’ he added. ‘We’ve got top strikers here. They’re all chomping at the bit to play, all good enough to play from the start, and Harry’s in that bracket. ‘He’s in top form in the league. To score a hat-trick leading up to your first senior call up is fantastic. I’m sure he feels he’s ready to play. It’s down to the manager, whatever he decides.’ Kane has scored 29 goals in all competitions for club side Tottenham Hotspur this term . Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick echoed Cahill’s sentiment and has also backed Kane to have a bright future in the England senior team. He said: 'I think the progress he has made has been sensational from the start of the season to the level that he is at now. He has gone up two or three levels and the thing that has impressed me most about him is that as the spotlight has grown and expectations have grown he has grown and his performances have improved and improved and that is a really good sign. It by no means looks like this is a one off season. He looks like the real deal. I am sure he has a big big future ahead of him. ’The options are frightening, whoever plays whether it’s Sturridge, Welbeck, Wayne, Raheem Sterling, it's great to have those in the squad. We have an abundance of talent going forward. When you are at that level like the boys are they can play with each other no problem.’ Manchester United midfielder Michael Carrick has tipped Kane to have a bright international future . | Daniel Sturridge withdrew from the England squad on Monday night .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and top U.S. officials faced off Monday in dueling speeches on the high-stakes Iran nuclear negotiations, a signature foreign policy objective of President Barack Obama. 'Imagine what Iran would do with nuclear weapons,' he warned on Tuesday, saying that the Islamic republic is already training, arming and dispatching terrorists on five continents. Asked whether President Obama watched the speech, White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest told reporters: 'I don’t believe that he did.' Netanyahu says a nuclear-capable Iran would have the means to achieve its stated goal of annihilating Israel. He listed a litany of instances when Israel has acted on its own, in defiance of the U.S., to protect itself. The Obama administration is pursuing talks with Tehran that critics say could ultimately allow the kind of nuclear enrichment inside Iran that Netanyahu fears most. U.N. Ambassador Samantha Power insisted on Monday in a speech preceding Netanyahu's that it will 'never' happen. SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO . Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, flanked by one of his security guards, addressed the 2015 American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Policy Conference in Washington on Monday . Netanyahu insisted that 'reports of the demise of the U.S.-Israel relation is not just premature; they are wrong' The backdrop for the rift between the longtime allies was the annual policy conference of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, the largest pro-Israel lobby in the U.S. On Tuesday Netanyahu will address the U.S. Congress. Despite some Democrats' boycotting, demand to see the speech is brisk. 'We’ve had 10 times the number of requests for tickets than there are seats available in the gallery,' House Speaker John Boehner said Monday in an emailed statement. 'In fact, demand is so overwhelming that both the House and Senate have set up separate viewing locations, which are also ticketed events.' Each House member gets a single ticket to give away. 'I could scalp that ticket, there are so many people who want it,' Michigan GOP Rep. Tim Walberg told The Washington Times. 'In fact, demand is so overwhelming that both the House and Senate have set up separate viewing locations, which are also ticketed events.' Obama has repeatedly cautioned Israel not to launch pre-emptive attacks against Tehran, but Netanyahu suggested Monday that he could choose to act unilaterally as his country has done in the past, even at the risk of alienating the United States. Sara Netanyahu, wife of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, attended her husband's speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee policy conference on Monday . 'In 1948, Secretary of State George Marshall opposed David Ben-Gurion's intention to declare statehood,' Netanyahu recalled. 'That's an understatement – he vehemently opposed it. But, Ben-Gurion, understanding what was at stake, went ahead and declared Israel's independence.' 'In 1967, as an Arab noose was tightening around Israel's neck, the United States warned ... that if Israel acted alone, it would be alone. But Israel did act – acted alone – to defend itself.' 'In 1981, under the leadership of Prime Minister Menachem Begin, Israel destroyed a nuclear reactor at Osirak,' Netanyahu continued. 'The United States criticized Israel and suspended arms-transfers for three months. 'And in 2002, after the worst wave of Palestinian terror attacks in Israel's history, Prime Minister Sharon launched Operation Defensive Shield. The United States demanded that Israel withdraw its troops immediately but Sharon continued until the operation was completed.' 'I mention them to make a point,' he said. 'Despite occasional disagreements, the friendship between America and Israel grew stronger and stronger, decade after decade. And our friendship will weather the current disagreements as well to grow even stronger in the future.' US United Nations Ambassador Samantha Power told AIPAC that the United States will 'never' allow Iran to have a nuclear weapon . The alliance between Israel and the Unites States is 'stronger than ever,' Netanyahu finally insisted, quelling fears of a rift between his Likud Party and Obama's Democratic Party. He insisted that 'reports of the demise of the U.S.-Israel relation is not just premature; they are wrong.' 'My speech is not intended to show any disrespect to President Obama or the office that he holds. I have great respect for both,' he said. 'I deeply appreciate all the President Obama has done for Israel: Security cooperation, intelligence sharing, support in the UN and much more.' 'The last thing anyone who cares about Israel, the last thing that I would want, is for Israel to become a partisan issue,' he added, 'and I regret that some people have misperceived my visit here this week as doing that. Israel has always been a bipartisan issue. Israel should always remain a bipartisan issue.' Netanyahu addressed the gathering Monday morning at the Walter E. Williams Convention Center, bracketed by remarks from two senior U.S. officials: Power and National Security Adviser Susan Rice. The Obama administration hedged last week about whether it would send someone to speak, and who it might be, after Daily Mail Online raised the subject during a White House briefing. Power insisted that 'The United States of America will not allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, period.' 'Talks, no talks, agreement, no agreement, the United States will take whatever steps are necessary to protect our national security and that of our closest allies,' she said to an audience of thousands. 'We believe diplomacy is the preferred route to secure our shared aim. But if diplomacy fails, we know the stakes of a nuclear-armed Iran as well as everyone here. We will not let it happen. There will never be a sunset on America's commitment to Israel's security. Never.' She also criticized Netanyahu for 'politicizing' the Iran debate, saying U.S.-Israeli relations 'should never be politicized and it cannot and will not be tarnished or broken.' Netanyahu's visit to Washington has sparked criticism in both the U.S. and Israel. The centerpiece of his trip is an address to Congress Tuesday, which came at the invitation of congressional Republicans and was not coordinated with the White House. HOUSE MEMBERS . Rep.

Rice has been particularly sharp in her criticism of Netanyahu's plans to address Congress, calling the move 'destructive' to the fabric of the U.S.-Israel relationship. The Israeli leader is deeply suspicious of Obama's efforts to reach a nuclear agreement with Iran, fearing the U.S. and its negotiating partners are prepared to leave Tehran on the cusp of developing a nuclear weapon. A Netanyahu adviser told reporters traveling to Washington with the prime minister on Sunday that he was not coming to the U.S. capital to offend Obama.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Israel's ruling Likud Party pulled off a victory in Tuesday's election -- and it was a stunning one. During the campaign, incumbent Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had come in for heavy criticism from across the political spectrum, for reasons ranging from concerns over his frosty relationship with the White House, to his fixation on the Iran nuclear issue, to allegations over Netanyahu's household expenses. Yet despite this unpromising backdrop, Likud is on course to win 30 seats in the Knesset, six seats more than the main opposition Zionist Union -- headed by Isaac Herzog and Tsipi Livni, and an obvious favorite of the Israeli media establishment and Europe, Washington, and the West Bank. The blow to the Zionist Union is particularly painful because some opinion polls had actually had the party leading Likud as the campaign drew to a close. (Likud wasn't the only winner of the night --the new center-right party Kulanu (All of Us), which focuses on the economy, also had a good showing, securing 10 seats). Still, Likud's resounding hasn't settled the eventual makeup of the government -- in the coming weeks, the work of negotiating a coalition will begin. With this in mind, there is a good chance that President Reuven Rivlin will ask Netanyahu to form a national unity government, either with the Zionist Union, or as the head of a right-wing coalition (although the bitter rivalry between Herzog/Livni and Netanyahu during the campaign makes the latter more likely). Overall, the election results seemed to reflect the rightward shift of the electorate, with even voters who self-identify as centrists consistently expressing conservative positions on both the Palestinian issue and broader questions of national security. Meanwhile, the numbers for the left in Tuesday's election -- a four seats for Meretz, 24 for the Zionist Union and 14 for the Arab List suggests the bloc is some 20 seats short of a viable coalition. As a result, the international community and the Palestinian leadership will have to face the reality that negotiations over the Palestinian state will be conducted with the center-right. So, what can we expect from the new Netanyahu government? Issues that dominated the campaign, namely security and the economy, will likely dominate. For a start, Netanyahu will try to improve his record on domestic and social issues by introducing more proactive policies tied to housing and land reform. The issue of housing requires especially painful economic and bureaucratic changes over the Israel Land Authority and planning and zoning processes. But to address these Issues properly, Netanyahu will have to confront land owners and the housing constructors, meaning key structural reforms are unlikely in the short term. In addition, Netanyahu will also have to repair the fractured relationship with Washington, something that may not be easy given that ties with the Obama administration will largely depends on whether a nuclear deal over Iran is reached, and what shape such a deal takes. That raises the question over what direction the government will take over national security, and on this, the government can probably be expected to pursue the status quo. This is despite the fact that growing instability and the proliferation of non-state hostile actors suggests that Israel should instead move beyond a short-term approach and toward building a long-term, comprehensive national security strategy that could make it an integrated regional power. Making such a change would require a political process capable of resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, rather than merely kicking the can down the road. Restarting communication with the West Bank leadership and properly engaging with the Arab Peace Initiative would be steps in the right direction. All that said, this will be Netanyahu's fourth term in office, and so there is plenty of evidence with which to judge his likely trajectory. And that suggests that he will find it easier to focus on issues tied to the economy than making any real steps forward on building a comprehensive long-tern national security strategy. Those hoping that the prime minister might rethink his national security policies are likely to be disappointed again. | Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu won re-election in Tuesday's poll .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (The Hollywood Reporter)It's official: AMC is moving forward with its "Walking Dead" companion series in a major way. The top-secret drama, which went through the pilot process with the title of Cobalt, will join the flagship series on the network as the cabler continues to focus on scripted fare. In addition to ordering the pilot to series, AMC has preemptively renewed the drama for a second season. The first season will consist of six hourlong episodes — just like the flagship series did. The drama will premiere on AMC in the "late summer," with season two set for 2016. Robert Kirkman, who created The Walking Dead comic series, co-wrote the pilot with Dave Erickson ("Sons of Anarchy"). Kirkman and Erickson exec produce alongside "Walking Dead's" Gale Anne Hurd and Dave Alpert. Erickson serves as showrunner, while Adam Davidson directed the pilot. "Walking Dead" VFX guru Greg Nicotero will also exec produce the series. While AMC has been tight-lipped on its premise, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that the series is a prequel that takes place in Los Angeles at the onset of the zombie outbreak. AMC on Monday confirmed that the companion series is set in Los Angeles but revealed nothing more beyond that it will focus on new characters and storylines. The drama is still untitled.

Frank Dillane ("Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince") co-stars as Nancy's son Nick, who has battled a drug problem; and Alycia Debnam Carey ("Into the Woods") is set as Nancy's ambitious daughter Ashley, who is the polar opposite of Nick and has dreams of leaving L.A. for Berkeley when the apocalypse strikes.

The "Walking Dead" companion — first announced in September 2013 — could give AMC a zombie drama in every quarter, given the six-episode freshman season's summer bow. The flagship, which resumes production in the summer, airs the first half of its season in October and the second half in February. The off-shoot series comes as "The Walking Dead" evolved to mega-hit status. The zombie drama, overseen by showrunner Scott M. Gimple, ranks as TV's No. 1 drama series among the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic. "We take incredibly seriously the notion of building a satisfying companion series to the No. 1 show on television. From the beginning of 'The Walking Dead' on AMC, we've been asked questions about what was going on in other parts of the zombie apocalypse, and what it looked like as the world really did 'turn.' Through this new series, we're going to find out," AMC president Charlie Collier said in making the announcement Monday. "Robert Kirkman, Dave Erickson and their writing team, along with an incomparable set of producers, cast and crew have created something remarkable and clearly distinct. We respectfully follow the request of 'Monty Python' as we bring out (the latest of) our Dead." Read more: 'Walking Dead' Creator's Exorcism Drama 'Outcast' Lands Cinemax Series Order . "We feel empowered by this two-season commitment, a serious show of faith from our network partner AMC," Kirkman said. "I personally take it as a sign that they believe, like we do, that we've accomplished our goal of developing something original that can pay tribute to the original show and expand the world I created while at the same time having something new to say with this story. I'm very grateful that we now have the opportunity to tell this amazing story and show the fans that we really haven't scratched the surface yet when it comes to 'The Walking Dead.'"

AMC Global — the cabler's international network, has acquired the international televisions rights to the series, which it will air within 24 hours of the U.S. premiere — something Fox International Channels does with the flagship series. The new series comes months after AMC opted to focus on original scripted fare and ditched nearly all of its unscripted programming (save for "Comic Book Men" and "Talking Dead"). It joins a roster of dramas including the fifth and final season of "Hell on Wheels," "Halt & Catch Fire," "Turn," "Better Call Saul" (already renewed for a second season), "Badlands" (due in late 2015/early 2016), "Humans" and "Night Manager" as the network looks to its future beyond "Mad Men." On the pilot side, the network has Afghanistan drama "White City" and controversial comics adaptation Preacher in the works. The latter, which recently earned a pilot pickup, is in consideration for 2016. See more: 'The Walking Dead's' Most Shocking Deaths . For comics scribe Kirkman — who oversees Image Comics imprint "Skybound" — "The Walking Dead" companion gives him three scripted shows on cable after his most recent comic-to-TV entry, "Outcast," was picked up to series at Cinemax. (He has four total, including "Talking Dead," which he exec produces.) Not to be outdone, Kirkman's Image/Skybound title "Thief of Thieves" is also in development at AMC with Alpert attached.

'There is lots we have to put right because the Ireland game was immensely frustrating and disappointing,' Rowntree said. 'I've just got over it, if I'm honest. We had a long week last week pulling it apart. 'We're playing a team at Twickenham who have just lost at home and have a lot to prove themselves. I expect a reaction from us.

The pack were subdued against Ireland, lacking the Celts' ferocity as they came off worse in just about every department of the game. He added: 'We just couldn't get our game going and that comes down to a multitude of reasons. Ill-discipline was one. It was a very good Ireland performance. They stifled our game and fair play, the best team won. 'The way they quickly amassed points on the scoreboard was frustrating, but at half time we were still very much in the game.

The death was reported in Sand Springs, a suburb of Tulsa, after the storm system ravaged a mobile home park, said Maj. Shannon Clark with the Tulsa County Sheriff's Office. "Right now, rescue efforts are continuing and officers are aiding the injured and helping those who need immediate medical care," he said. "It's very tough conditions right now -- very touch and go.

A confirmed, "extremely dangerous" tornado was spotted near Sand Springs, moving east at 45 mph, the weather service said. The tornado warning included downtown Tulsa. Large, damaging hail the size of baseballs and hurricane-force winds were possible. A severe thunderstorm watch was in effect for the area until late Wednesday night. More severe weather tore through the Oklahoma City area. Another tornado was spotted about 15 miles south of town south in Moore, said Sgt. Jeremy Lewis with the city's police. "We have about a 2-mile square area with significant damage, mainly roofs off homes and downed trees," he said. "Right now, we have the area secured, we have crews in there making sure that gas lines, electrical line, all that's turned off. " Trees had to be cleared so law enforcement and emergency vehicles could get through. "You know, this isn't the first time we've done this so ... unfortunately, we've gotten pretty good at getting people back into their residences as quick as we can," Lewis said. "We just have to make sure that it's safe. Lewis said a temporary hospital was treating patients with minor injuries. The original Moore Medical Center was destroyed two years ago in a tornado. Staff took cover in temporary shelters as the storm approached. "Their building did sustain a little bit of damage, but they were able to reopen once the storm passed and start taking patients in," Lewis said.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Gold bars. Each weighed between 25 and 27 pounds, together about 275 pounds. The bars' total weight in gold is worth about $4.8 million. That much adds up. But what about the story of how they got swiped on Sunday from a truck alongside Interstate 95 in North Carolina? Investigators are trying to figure that out, including how two armed security guards could have been so quickly pounced upon, bound and then robbed so soon after pulling over in Wilson County, as they've told authorities. "There's suspicion about everything going on in this case," Wilson County Sheriff Calvin Woodard Jr. said Wednesday in a news conference about the case. He also released composite sketches of two of the three suspects, one of whom he described as a heavyset Hispanic male with a Cuban accent and the other as a dark-skinned Hispanic male with a white mustache and goatee who was dressed in black. He showed reporters a photo of the white van they allegedly got away in, as well as an image of the traffic cones they used -- which came from a Florida company that doesn't do business in North Carolina. What he couldn't say definitively was whether these men had some help. There are a lot of questions, in fact, that can't be answered. Authorities say the initial statements from the two guards who work for TransValue Inc., a Florida-based company that transports valuables, were a bit confusing due to the guards' spotty English, though Woodward said police now have a clearer picture after bringing in Spanish-speakers to translate. These two men, both of whom have worked for TransValue for several years, set off early Sunday morning from Miami with a truck full of gold protected by a padlock and presumably their firearms. They were headed for Bridgewater, Massachusetts, "to a place ... where they handled such things," Woodard explained. They stopped to get gas in Dillon, South Carolina, then hit the interstate once again. The guards later told police they smelled gas, with one of them getting sick. So they pulled over. That leads to the first big question about the men's story: Did something happen to their vehicle to cause the gas smell? Not according to a Wilson County mechanic, who "did not determine any type of issues" with the truck, according to Woodard. So the sicker guard gets out of the vehicle. He says he's quickly met by two suspects, who yell out, "Policia, policia." They ask him to go to the ground then tie him up with three zip ties, according to Woodard. After this, the other guard gets out of the vehicle. He encounters the same men -- one of them wearing a red traffic vest -- who repeat that they are police. He says that he, too, eventually gets to the ground and is bound with duck tape. But weren't these armed guards? Yes and no. Neither man had a gun on them when they exited their vehicle, violating their company's protocol, the sheriff said. And did anyone see them get bound and led into the nearby woods? No, at least no one who has contacted police. But people called authorities around 6:49 p.m. Sunday after they spotted the men, still bound, coming out of the woods, according to Woodard. By then, the $4.8 million in gold and the three men suspected of taking it were gone. That's left authorities trying to track those valuables down and piece together exactly what happened. Investigators have already gone to South Carolina, and they're getting help from the FBI.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | It was only a small-sided game at the end of a session at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground, but heads were turned when teenage striker Chuba Akpom, called over to join them, cut in from the left flank and curled the ball, side-footed, around the goalkeeper to score. The move echoed a former time and a former forward, as if the ghost of Thierry Henry was still haunting the centre’s pitches with his trademark dribble and finish. Alexis Sanchez came running over to Akpom, leaping around excitedly and shouting ‘Titi, Titi, Titi, Titi!’ Arsenal's teenage striker Chuba Akpom has been compared to club legend Thierry Henry . Thierry Henry was Akpom's idol growing up and the youngster is keen to emulate his success . Akpom (left), walks to training with Arsenal team-mates Theo Walcott, Olivier Giroud and Danny Welbeck . There is still a long, long way to go until the 19-year-old gets anywhere near close to his idol Henry, but nicknames tend to stick around. ‘One day in training with the first team I scored an Henry-type goal, cutting inside and finishing,’ Akpom tells Sportsmail. ‘I could see Sanchez jumping, he’ s an enthusiastic guy at the best of times and he’s going: “Titi, Titi, Titi, Titi!” ‘The next morning he came to me and said “Titi.” 'Then the next morning he came to me and said “Titi.” I asked: 'hold on is this my new nickname?' That’s how it came about and it’s stuck since then. ‘Now the lads just call me Titi or Thierry Henry - I’ll take that. It’s not a bad comparison to have. ‘He was my idol growing up. Playing for the academy and watching Arsenal’s first team I used to see players like Henry scoring every week and it really inspired me.’ Akpom was born and bred in east London’s Canning Town and joined Arsenal aged six. Akpom closes down Southampton goalkeeper Fraser Forster during September's League Cup tie . Akpom celebrates after scoring during the 2014 International Tournament match with Holland .

Manager Arsene Wenger has been so impressed with his progress the Frenchman has him training with the first team and has included him regularly on the bench this season, featuring several times in the Premier League and FA Cup. Even if the Henry comparisons are premature, there is no denying Akpom is beginning to make his mark where it matters. ‘I’m with the senior team now in the changing room and on the training ground,’ he adds. ‘It’s all about getting familiar with the environment and the players and getting as much game time as I can. ‘A lot of them are international players, a lot are England players; Calum Chambers, Jack Wilshere, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Theo Walcott, Danny Welbeck, Kieran Gibbs. I look up to them. 'They’ve made it into the England senior team. It’s good to be around them and get good advice.’ Akpom is a right-footed front man but likes to drop out wide to the left flank to torment full-backs. Sound familiar? His is quick and skilful with a sharp finish. Most importantly, he scores goal. For Arsenal youth teams and England Under 15 to Under 20 level, bucketfuls of them. Akpom in the thick of the action during Arsenal's Premier League win over Aston Villa last month . The teenage striker celebrates after Nacho Monreal converts the winning penalty in a League Cup tie at West Brom last season . ‘People keep telling me having a child is the best feeling,’ he says. ‘I haven’ t had that yet I’m too young, but when I score goals - I’d be surprised if you beat that feeling.’ He cites one of the game’s greatest goal-scorers, the Brazilian Ronaldo, as another idol and closer to home is aiming at the top. But, unlike the lightning runs down the left wing, he understands all of that will come slowly. ‘Wayne Rooney is another player I look up to,’ he explains. ‘He’s the captain of the national team and that’s something I would like to try to do. ‘I’d love to be a captain - of England and Arsenal. Leading by example off the pitch and on it. It would be a dream. ‘Right now, it’s about getting in the squad first. You look at Luke Shaw, see him go to the World Cup last summer, it shows you how fast things can change. ‘Raheem Sterling is a good friend of mine, Ross Barkley; young players are getting their chance.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)It's been more than 13 years since 2,753 people were reported missing in lower Manhattan after the attacks on the World Trade Center. Although death certificates have been issued for all 2,753, the work to identify each victim continues. In fact, it's far from over: Some 40% of the victims have not yet been identified, according to the city's Office of Chief Medical Examiner. The most recent identified victim is Matthew Yarnell, a 26-year-old New Jersey native who worked for Fiduciary Trust on the 97th floor of the South Tower. Yarnell's mother said Friday that the news "was a bit of a shock," but that it means that she can "finally put everything to rest." "It kind of opened up all of the old wounds and old pains initially," Michele Yarnell told CNN's Brooke Baldwin. "I guess it kind of put to rest any -- I wouldn't say doubt -- (because) we weren't doubtful about the outcome, but it kind of gave us closure." According to the medical examiner, Yarnell's DNA samples were recovered during the original recovery effort from 2001 to 2002. Until this week, they resided with other remains that have not been identified. A recent retesting, however, yielded a new result. "Every time there's a new development in a DNA processing or technique, they go back and they recheck every single remain that they have in the repository at the museum," she told Baldwin. "And this time (Matthew's) matched." The identification of Yarnell puts the total number of identifications from the World Trade Center at 1,640, meaning there are still 1,113 more to go. Daunting, but not insurmountable. "The ME's office is not going to give up," Michelle Yarnell said. "I hope for everyone that lost a loved one there, that they'll have that closure someday, and, hopefully, sooner rather than later." | DNA identifies remains of 9/11 victim more than 13 years later .

Provide a brief summary of the reaction to the creation of LIV Golf | Human rights groups have criticized LIV Golf as sportswashing, a political strategy by Saudi Arabia to cleanse its repressive global image through sport. Human Rights Watch, for example, called the Saudi endeavor "an effort to distract from its serious human rights abuses by taking over events that celebrate human achievement".
Greg Norman has been accused of aiding the repressive Saudi government for his own financial gain. In 2021, Norman denied that he was being used for sportswashing and said he works for LIV because of his passion for the sport. Later, in May 2022, Norman defended the involvement of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman with Jamal Khashoggi's murder, saying, "Look, we've all made mistakes, and you just want to learn from those mistakes and how you can correct them going forward." His statement drew extensive criticism. Khashoggi's fiancée, Hatice Cengiz, said it was hurtful that "Jamal's brutal killing is brushed off as a 'mistake' and that we should just move on".
On 22 June 2022, a group of nearly 2,500 survivors of family members killed or injured during the September 11 attacks wrote an open letter to golfers who have remained loyal to the PGA Tour thanking them for not defecting to LIV Golf. The letter read in part, "Thank you for standing up for decency. Thank you for standing up for the 9/11 Families. Thank you for resisting the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's efforts to cleanse its reputation by buying off professional athletes...To those of you who have chosen what is right over blood money from a corrupt, destructive sports entity and its Saudi backers, please continue to stand strong." On 17 July 2022, a group of September 11 victims' family members condemned former U.S. President Donald Trump for hosting the LIV Golf tour at his Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, New Jersey; the group's letter to Trump noted that he himself had blamed Saudi Arabia for the 9/11 attack during a 2016 interview on Fox News.
Tiger Woods, who turned down an offer of $700 million to $800 million to join LIV Golf, was asked in July 2022 about the golfers who had joined. "I disagree with it. I think that what they've done is they've turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position," Woods said at a press conference before the 2022 Open Championship. "I know what the PGA Tour stands for and what we have done and what the tour has given us, the ability to chase after our careers and to earn what we get and the trophies we have been able to play for and the history that has been a part of this game." | Overall, the reaction to the creation of the LIV Golf has been negative. For example, human rights groups have criticized LIV Golf as sportswashing, a group of 2500 survivors of family members killed during the September 11 attacks wrote a letter to golfers who stayed with the PGA Tour thanking them staying, and Tiger Woods said he thinks that the players who went to LIV Golf turned their back on what has allowed them to get to this position. |

Was Alexander Skarsgård destined to become an actor? | Skarsgård was born on 25 August 1976 in Stockholm, Sweden. He is the eldest son of actor Stellan Skarsgård and physician My Skarsgård. His parents are divorced. He has five younger siblings: Gustaf, Sam, Bill, Eija and Valter, and two half-brothers from his father's second wife, Megan Everett. Gustaf, Bill and Valter are also actors.
A friend of his father, a director, gave Skarsgård his first film role when he was seven years old, playing Kalle Nubb in Åke and His World (Åke och hans värld). In 1989, his lead role in the Swedish television production Hunden som log (The Dog That Smiled) earned him praise and brought him to prominence in Sweden at age 13. Uncomfortable with the fame, he quit acting at that same age.
At age 19, Skarsgård applied to perform his national service. He served in the Swedish Armed Forces, in the SäkJakt ("protect and hunt") unit that dealt with anti-sabotage and anti-terrorism in the Stockholm archipelago, for 18 months. After completing his service in 1996, he left Sweden and attended Leeds Metropolitan University in England for six months. He enrolled to study English but admits he did not study much and "had a blast" instead. While there, he considered pursuing an architecture career, but chose acting instead. In 1997, he enrolled in a theatre course at Marymount Manhattan College and moved to New York City. He returned to Stockholm after six months, but his time studying theatre confirmed to him that he wanted to act. | Alexander Skarsgård was born into an actors family, his father Stellan as well as several of his brothers are successful actors. Furthermore, he got off to an early start when a friend of his father got him a role at seven years old, which seemed to suggest he was always destined to become an actor. However, along the way, several diversions could have set him on another path. At 13 years old he quit acting as he got uncomfortable with the fame. Later on, he joined the Swedish national service, went off to study English in Leeds, and considered pursuing an architecture career. But in the end, he chooses the path of acting. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | You probably associate Italian football with defenders. And you'd be right; Franco Baresi, Giuseppe Bergomi, Paolo Maldini, Alessandro Nesta and Fabio Cannavaro defended the blue shirt with style and steel. Those thoroughbreds made goal prevention an art. But the Azzurri also pride themselves on their goalscorers. From thick-necked battering rams to heaven-sent magicians. Times have changed. Last week an excellent column by Gazzetta dello Sport's Fabio Licari bemoaned the lack of goalscoring options available to national coach Antonio Conte. It's an uncomfortable feeling shared by fans. Italy's national team are famous for their defenders, such as Paolo Maldini, who played with style and steel . Italy are struggling for strikers... Defender Giorgio Chiellini (second right) is top scorer since the World Cup . Euro 2016 is 15 months away and the four-times world champions don't have a regular source of goals. Agricultural defender Giorgio Chiellini is the top scorer of the Conte era (since the 2014 World Cup) with two strikes. The Legends . Nostalgia for the old guys grows stronger by the game. Articles lionise yesterday's sharpshooters. The adored Giuseppe Meazza, after whom Inter and Milan's stadium is named, shot Italy to glory in the 1930s. The Azzurri's late 1960s and World Cup 1970 renaissance owed much to the thunderous force of Cagliari idol Luigi Riva. Another granite-faced striker, Giorgio Chinaglia enjoyed a short but colourful career with the national team in the early and mid-1970s. In 1982 Paolo Rossi spearheaded his country's third World Cup win with a craftier, subtle approach. There was a brief return to the dominant, blockbuster forward with the selfless Gianluca Vialli and blunderbuss Christian Vieri. Perhaps the most famous and popular modern Italian attacker, the masterly Roberto Baggio, played alongside Vialli and Vieri at World Cups, bewitching the football-loving world. His goals drove his team to the 1994 World Cup final. In the past, players such as Giuseppe Meazza, after whom Inter and Milan's stadium is named, shone . Paolo Rossi spearheaded Italy to the World Cup in 1982 with a craftier, more subtle approach . Elsewhere, Giorgio Chinaglia (left, pictured with Pele) and Roberto Baggio (right) live long in the memory . State of the Nation . It doesn't help Conte that four out of five of Serie A's top scorers are foreign. Juventus' Carlos Tevez, Gonzalo Higuain of Napoli and Palermo's Paolo Dybala are Argentinian, while Milan star Jeremy Menez is from France. Only Luca Toni (Verona) is Italian, but he is 37 and his career in the national team ended in 2009. Tevez's principal partner at Juve, Alvaro Morata, is a Spaniard. Inter's regular striker force of Mauro Icardi and Rodrigo Palacio hail from the land of the Tango. Roma rarely use an orthodox centre-forward, but rely on the pace of Ivorian ex-Arsenal man Gervinho. Simone Zaza and Ciro Immobile are Conte's first choice partnership. After a typically honest but fruitless performance in Italy's 2-2 draw in rain-lashed Bulgaria on Saturday, Zaza admitted: 'I was not satisfied with my performance.' Only Luca Toni is playing well in Serie A at the moment, but he retired from international football in 2009 . Simone Zaza (pictured), along with Ciro Immobile, are Antonio Conte's current first choice partnership . The Sassuolo man was subbed after 58 minutes of the Euro 2016 group H qualifier. Journalist and broadcaster Massimo Callegari says: 'Zaza has good technique and physical attributes, but needs to be more consistent and a bit calmer. When he is having a bad game he loses self-control and gets booked too often. He loses focus.' Immobile is suffering from a lean spell in the Bundesliga with Borussia Dortmund. The Neapolitan is a direct, tidy player, but his confidence is low. Mattia Destro, on loan at Milan from Roma, is in a similar mess. A classic box player, Destro is only as good as the service he receives. Milan' s struggles have reduced his efficacy and dampened his spirit. And before you ask, Liverpool's Mario Balotelli isn't Conte's cup of tea, to put it diplomatically. Mario Balotelli posted a picture of him in a mask to show his feelings after being left out of the Italian squad . Conte does not have a large pool of strikers to choose from, and many are going through a barren spell . The only good news from that draw in Sofia was Eder's stunning 84th minute equaliser. The Brazil-born Sampdoria firecracker, unwanted by Selecao chief Dunga, has the flair and unpredictability to give Italy back its goals and smile. At 28 years of age, it's unlikely Eder will make the impact of Baggio or even World Cup 1990 saviour Toto Schillaci. He might get his adopted nation through a difficult patch though. England have been warned. Ranked by the joy they gave Italian football fans, here are five of the Azzurri' s most cherished netbusters: . Giuseppe Meazza . The undisputed leader. Meazza (1910-1979), known as the Da Vinci of football, was acrobatic, a master dribbler and had an unerring shot. The first poster boy of calcio, he scored 33 goals in 53 international games. Roberto Baggio . Anyone who saw the 1994 World Cup knows the majesty of Baggio. Enduring more aches and gripes than the cast of Dad's Army, the gutsy genius dragged his team to the final. 'Roby' also shone at the '90 and '98 World Cups. 27 goals in 56 matches. Paolo Rossi . His early performances at the 1982 World Cup were pallid. But, with the unbending support of his manager Enzo Bearzot, the nippy little poacher sprung into life in the knockout stages, scoring six times, including a hat-trick against Brazil. 20 goals, 48 matches. Luigi Riva . Still Ia Nazionale's top scorer with 35 goals from 42 games, Riva's shots measured 140km/h, which would be closer to 200km/h with modern balls. Known as the Thunderclap, uncompromising Riva was instrumental to the Italy side which finished runners-up at the 1970 World Cup. Christian Vieri . Despite all the headlines regarding his hectic private life, brilliant 'Bobo' plundered five goals in a cautious Italy team at the 1998 World Cup, and four more in 2002 in Japan and Korea. A bulldozing, brave target man with outstanding aerial ability, he gave his team a brutish, British edge. 23 goals, 49 matches.

One recently received a high military honor for rendering aid to a wounded comrade in Afghanistan while under enemy fire. One had served a tour in Kosovo. The 11 service members who died in an Army Black Hawk helicopter crash Tuesday off the Florida Panhandle weren't only a loss to their country. They leave behind wives, fiancees, parents, children and friends. They will be missed. And remembered. Seven of those on the helicopter were Marines based at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. Four served with the Louisiana National Guard. A 21-year member of the Guard, Griffin had served in Iraq in 2004-05 and 2008-09. He'd also been deployed during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Isaac, said Maj. Gen. Glenn Curtis, adjutant general of the Louisiana National Guard. "G. Wayne Griffin was born to be an Army aviator," said Chief Warrant Officer 5 Reggie Lane on the state Guard's website. "He had a tremendous passion for flying." Griffin, a resident of Delhi, is survived by his wife and four children. The Alexandria resident was known for his outsized personality. "He was more like a force of nature," said Maj. Andre Jeansonne of the 135th Aviation Regiment. "His huge heart touched the lives of all he met." Strother had deployed to Iraq, Afghanistan and just last year to Kosovo. He also served during Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Isaac. He commissioned as a warrant officer but went on to become an instructor pilot with more than 2,400 flight hours, including more than 700 combat hours. Strother leaves behind a wife, a son and a stepdaughter. Bergeron enlisted in the Marines in 1998 and joined the National Guard in 2001. He'd deployed to Iraq twice and served during state deployments for Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Isaac. Sgt. 1st Class Brian Marquez called Bergeron one of the most qualified crew chiefs in the Guard, with more than 1,300 flight hours, including 377 combat hours. "He was a subject matter expert in his job," Marquez said. The Thibodaux resident is survived by his wife and two children. Florich came from Fairfax County, Virginia, and enlisted in the Louisiana National Guard in 2007 as a Black Hawk repairer. He served during state deployments for Operation Deepwater Horizon and Hurricane Isaac, the Guard's website said. "Tom was full of life, and his personality could light the room," Marquez said. "He will be greatly missed by the unit and the flight facility." Florich is survived by his wife, father and stepmother. He was posthumously promoted from sergeant to staff sergeant. Theresa D. Hipple was thrilled her stepdaughter, Erika, planned to marry Bawol this October. After all, the Warren, Michigan, Marine "was an all-around wonderful guy -- the kind of guy you would want your daughter to marry," Hipple told The Macomb Daily in Michigan. High school chums told the newspaper they jokingly called Bawol "The Patriot" because he always seemed to do the proper thing. He was a stand-up guy you could depend on. Friends said Bawol enjoyed hunting trips and was in peak physical shape. Bawol had completed a tour in Afghanistan. "The pain will linger," Hipple said. "I don't know that you ever get over it." Bawol joined the Marines while attending Olivet College to play baseball. The Orion Veterans Memorial in Lake Orion, Michigan, contains a brick with Blaylock's name and the words "U.S. Marines." For his wife and two daughters, the meaning of that brick this week took on new meaning, police Chief Jerry Nash told the Oakland Press. "He gave everything he had to ensure that we're free and safe, and that's all that we can ever ask of our servicemen," Narsh said. Blaylock, a swimmer in high school, attended Henry Ford Community College before enlisting. He was deployed to Iraq in 2007 and 2008. He was deployed to Afghanistan from 2013 to 2014. Flynn hailed from Reading, England, and moved to Queens, New York, in 2002. He enlisted four years later and was sent to Iraq the next year. A stint in Afghanistan followed, from January to September 2012. He saw service there again from November 2013 to June 2014. Kemp, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, moved as a child to Port Washington, Wisconsin. He was proud to be a Marine, husband and a dad. His daughter turns 1 later this month. The sergeant was a pretty private guy and didn't talk a lot about his service, his sister-in-law told CNN affiliate WISN-TV in Wisconsin. But he knew how to have fun. When he wasn't golfing or at the ocean on his time off, Kemp horsed around with his nephews, WISN reported. "He would wrestle with them. He really got into that, the wrestling and playing. He'd carry them around on his back," said sister-in-law Lora Waraksa. Kemp saw service in Iraq as a machine gunner and went to Afghanistan from November 2013 to June 2014. Just last week, the Fairbanks, Alaska, native received the Silver Star for conspicuous gallantry while rendering aid to a wounded buddy in Afghanistan. Seif and his small team moved in on a compound on July 24, 2012, while searching for an expert on improvised explosive devices. A sergeant was wounded by gunfire. Seif, without waiting for reinforcements, "dynamically and courageously" secured the compound, took out the enemy insurgent and tried to help his comrade, all while under enemy fire. The wounded sergeant did not survive. "Marines never leave anybody behind," Marine Maj. Gen. Joseph L. Osterman said at the ceremony at Camp Lejeune. Seif's wife was with him during the medal presentation. Seif was named the USO's Marine of the Year in 2013. The organization cited his heroism in Afghanistan and his commander's description of the Marine's "tenacity, vigor and common sense that he applies to every task or endeavor he undertakes." His family moved to Holland, Michigan, when he was a teen. He deployed to Iraq in 2008 and was sent to Afghanistan a couple years later. Saunders lived in Williamsburg, Virginia, a city important in the early history of the Colonies and the move toward independence from Britain. He was born in Bonn, Germany, and graduated from high school in Virginia. His deployments included Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. The Marine Corps Association and Foundation named Saunders the "critical skills operator of the year" in 2014. The Marine leaves behind his wife and son. A native of Basking Ridge, New Jersey, Shaw was captain of the varsity lacrosse team and high school student government president at Ridge High School. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and became a Marine officer. Shaw was deployed to Anbar province in Iraq in 2007 and returned there in 2009. He also saw service in Japan.

Generate a summary of the text | A Tory MP is refusing to repay hundreds of pounds in expenses for over-claiming his mileage - after the Commons watchdog checked his journeys on Google Maps. Backbencher Bob Blackman was found to have filed more than 700 claims for travel around his constituency that were either ‘inaccurate’ or not allowed under the rules. Some were said to be for up to five times the real distance after they were checked. But the Harrow East MP has refused to accept the conclusions, insisting he will hand back only £237 - despite being asked to repay more than £1,000. Backbencher Bob Blackman was found to have filed more than 700 claims for travel around his constituency that were either ‘inaccurate’ or not allowed under the rules . An appeal from the MP has now been rejected by Ipsa compliance officer Peter Davis on the basis that it ‘largely reiterated the points made by him in his original representations’. If Mr Blackman refuses to repay the £1,006.20 by next week, he could be hit with a £1,000 fine and legal action to retrieve the money from his salary. Mr Davis is also understood to be considering new evidence and has already warned he could extend his inquiry back further than January 2013 - potentially opening Mr Blackman up to a fresh bill. In his appeal, Mr Blackman condemned the findings as ‘arbitrary and draconian’ and designed to generate a ‘good headline for Ipsa’. He stressed he had apologised for £82.80 of travel to party political events, and was ‘extremely reluctantly’ ready to repay £97.65 for party political journeys even though Mr Davis had not ‘properly evaluated’ the situation. He said he would return another £56.70 for home to office travel because he could not produce ‘detailed evidence’ to support it. Parliament's reputation is till being dragged through the mud by controversial expense claims made by MPs . But Mr Blackman made clear he did not accept criticism of the distances he had claimed for. ‘I absolutely maintain that these routes are the most cost effective possible based on local traffic conditions and the need to ensure that journeys are of a predictable duration to arrive at the appointed time,’ he said. ‘My claims are provably compliant with the scheme so therefore you should withdraw your damaging and entirely unwarranted allegations at this juncture. ‘I understand that, having embarked on and publicly announced this investigation, it is in your personal interest to back up this decision with findings of wrongdoing that will generate a good headline for Ipsa. ‘Therefore I am sorry to report that I will absolutely be maintaining my innocence in this matter to my constituents, to the (Commons) Commission and on the floor of the House if necessary.’ Last month's provisional report from Mr Davis revealed that Ipsa officials wrote to Mr Blackman in October 2011 voicing concern that he was putting in for ‘around twice the average for constituency mileage across the UK and some six times higher than other suburban London area constituencies where mileage is claimed’. Commons officials checked Mr Blackman's claims on Google maps . The watchdog triggered an initial investigation by its compliance officer in December 2012, with Mr Blackman being told: ‘A comparison of your claims against the distances quoted by Google Maps would suggest a pattern of over-claiming. On average, your claims are almost twice the distance shown on Google Maps and in some cases significantly more.’ A two-mile journey from his home to Harrow Weald had been claimed as 10 miles, while a five-mile return trip to Stanmore was filed as 15 miles. After a discussion with Mr Blackman, Mr Davis declined to launch a full-blown investigation, instead deciding the issue could be dealt with through ‘support and advice from Ipsa to ensure the MP improved his record-keeping’. However, an audit in 2013-14 found that Mr Blackman had again racked up the highest mileage of any MP. He claimed more than 400 miles per square mile of his constituency, almost double the average for the next 10 highest-claiming MPs. A 33-mile return journey to the new Tottenham Hotspur training ground in Enfield was claimed as 54 miles - although the MP later admitted this was a mistake and the figure should have been 39 miles. The compliance officer this time launched a formal probe - but only looked at claims made after his meeting with the MP in January 2013. He found that Mr Blackman had merely reduced standard claims for regular journeys by a single mile - for example, saying he drove 14 miles to Stanmore rather than 15. During the investigation, Mr Blackman attempted to explain apparently standard claims for journeys to areas of his constituency by arguing that he was using ‘average’ distances. But Mr Davis said that ‘conflicted with other statements that journeys were dependent on the traffic conditions pertaining at the time of travel’. He also rejected a suggestion from Mr Blackman that he was using local knowledge to avoid traffic and find the quickest rather than shortest routes - ‘if this were the case then journeys would show distinct variations’. Mr Davis examined Mr Blackman's diaries and used Google Maps to establish the actual distances. In 165 out of 169, the claim was greater than that given by the mapping tool. | Bob Blackman made 700 travel claims that were 'inaccurate' or not allowed .

Given the reference text about The Sun Also Rises, when was the book written and who wrote it? | The Sun Also Rises is a 1926 novel by American writer Ernest Hemingway, his first, that portrays American and British expatriates who travel from Paris to the Festival of San Fermín in Pamplona to watch the running of the bulls and the bullfights. An early modernist novel, it received mixed reviews upon publication. Hemingway biographer Jeffrey Meyers writes that it is now "recognized as Hemingway's greatest work" and Hemingway scholar Linda Wagner-Martin calls it his most important novel. The novel was published in the United States in October 1926 by Scribner's. A year later, Jonathan Cape published the novel in London under the title Fiesta. It remains in print.
The novel is a roman à clef: the characters are based on people in Hemingway's circle and the action is based on events, particularly Hemingway's life in Paris in the 1920s and a trip to Spain in 1925 for the Pamplona festival and fishing in the Pyrenees. Hemingway presents his notion that the "Lost Generation"—considered to have been decadent, dissolute and irretrievably damaged by World War I—was in fact resilient and strong. Hemingway investigates the themes of love and death, the revivifying power of nature and the concept of masculinity. His spare writing style, combined with his restrained use of description to convey characterizations and action, demonstrates his "Iceberg Theory" of writing. | The Sun Also Rises was written in 1926 by Ernest Hemingway. |

Generate a summary of the text | Families are to foot the bill for Sky’s decision to pay £4.2billion for Premier League football rights after the firm sneaked out an inflation-busting price rise on Budget Day. The firm is putting up the price of its Family bundle of channels by nine per cent or £3 a month to £36, or £432 a year. The bundle does not even include its sports channels, which means those who have no interest in football are subsidising Sky’s deal to show Premier League games. Scroll down for video . Sky is putting up the price of its Family bundle of channels by nine per cent or £3 a month, just weeks after it paid £4.2billion for the rights to screen 126 live Premier League football games a season from 2016 to 2019 . Sky paid £4.2billion to broadcast 126 live games a season from 2016 to 2019 in the Premier League . Sky is also putting up the price of its Sports Bundle, which includes a basic range of channels plus seven dedicated to sport, by £1 a month to £47 - £564 a year. Film fans will also be hit with a 50p a month increase in the cost of the Sky Movies package and some £1.50 a month more for the combination of movies and sport. Critics say the price rises appear to be an attempt to recoup the huge sum that will be paid to super rich clubs like Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City. Sky paid £4.2 billion to show 126 live English Premier League matches a season from 2016 to 2019. That equates to £11m per game, which is up by 66per cent compared to the current TV deal. Analysts suggested the TV giant overpaid for the football rights in order to fend off competition from BT and others, however it is clear that the pain is now being passed to viewers, whether they like sport or not. When the deal was announced, the Premier League’s chief executive, Richard Scudamore, heralded it as a success story for the nation’s biggest and richest clubs. However, it is viewers who will be funding the Ferraris, Lamborghinis and £200,000 a week contracts of the likes of Wayne Rooney, Yaya Toure, Eden Hazard, and Falcao. The company, which has more than 11m customers in the UK, bid about £300m a year more than analysts had expected in February’s auction. At the time Jeremy Darroch, Sky’s chief executive, said the bill would largely be financed by cost cuts, however, he hinted that price rises would be necessary. Sky suggested its customers would not have to foot the bill for the record Premier League TV deal . This graphic charts the significant rise of domestic Premier League TV revenue from 1992 until 2019 . The timing of the announcement appears designed to limit media coverage. Details appeared on the firm’s website on Wednesday, when the nation’s attention was focused on George Osborne’s Budget. Attempts to reach Sky spokesmen were frustrated by the fact most were at the London premiere of the new season of TV fantasy drama, Game of Thrones. Normally, Sky would announce any price rise in September, however making the announcement then would have coincided with its loss of the TV rights for the Champions League to BT. It would have been obvious to viewers that they were being asked to pay more for less. The inflation-busting increases will come into effect on June 1 and coincide with the middle of the latest series of Game of Thrones. Fans will effectively have to agree to the higher subscription. Sky last increased prices in September with the figure for its Sports Bundle going up by six per cent. That meant the price of its Sports package had risen about 30 per cent above inflation since 2001. The fact it is putting up prices yet again could well drive millions of people to switch to the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime, both of which cost less than £7 a month. Viewer reaction to the news was hostile. One contributor to the Engadget website wrote: ‘Hey Sky, I don’t care if you overpaid Premier League, I’m not paying for something I didn’t buy.’ Critics claim the price rises mean viewers will be funding the Ferraris, Lamborghinis and £200,000 a week contracts of the likes of Manchester United's Wayne Rooney (left) and Man City's Yaya Toure (right) Eden Hazard (left) and Manchester U's Falcao (right) are among the other highest paid Premiership players . Another, wrote: ‘If only Game of Thrones was available elsewhere I could cancel.... Surely the sports option itself should pay for the bid?’ A third questioned the rises for the non-sport packages. He wrote: ‘So wait, they’re increasing their prices to cover Premier League costs, yet the sports package is the one that’s increasing least? Way to show your audience who’s important!’ Another said: ‘I think it’s time I dump my Sky subscription. There is now so much competition in the market I can get the same content elsewhere.’ Virgin Media has complained to the TV regulator Ofcom about the way Premier League rights are sold to broadcasters, claiming it leads to expensive subscriptions which do not even provide live coverage of every game. Spokesman, Brigitte Trafford, said: ‘Too many people feel they now have to choose between basic essentials and watching the game they love. If action is not taken to change the way the Premier League sells TV rights, the rapidly rising cost of watching football at home will see even more people priced out of the national sport.’ Sky offered a bizarre explanation for the timing of the announcement, claiming it was necessary to comply with regulations imposed by the Advertising Standards Authority. In fact, the ASA has absolutely no role in the timing of such announcements. A spokesman said: ‘We work hard to make Sky the best value entertainment choice for subscribers. On average, bills will rise by less than £3 per month.’ | Sky is putting up the price of its Family bundle of channels to £432 a year .

Poyet, too, has now been axed by Short after Saturday’s 4-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa left them one place and one point above the drop zone. Former Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio has hit out at chairman Ellis Short over the club's relegation battle . Di Canio has been critical of Short (above), his transfer dealings and his interference in the dressing room . Di Canio celebrates his first victory as Sunderland manager, over Everton back in April 2013 . But Di Canio came out in support of his successor, claiming that billionaire American Short is responsible for Sunderland’s current plight. ‘It’s not Poyet’s fault because chairman Ellis Short is the real origin of all these troubles,’ Di Canio told Fox Sports. ‘I saved Sunderland when the club was sinking, along with my staff. I completed a true miracle, on and off the pitch. ‘We tried to change the philosophy of the team. In the two previous years, no fines were given, despite players getting drunk and partying until late, even a few days before a match. ‘I was giving fines even for (players being) five minutes late. ‘It’s fundamental, to keep order in the dressing room. I took all the responsibilities, but my project was immediately cut off. ‘It was a choice which came from above.

How many national championships has Nick Saban won at Alabama? | The Alabama Crimson Tide football program represents the University of Alabama (variously Alabama, UA, or Bama) in the sport of American football. The team competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and the Western Division of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The team's head coach is Nick Saban, who has led the Tide to six national championships over his tenure. The Crimson Tide is among the most storied and decorated football programs in NCAA history. Since beginning play in 1892, the program claims 18 national championships, including 13 wire-service (AP or Coaches') national titles in the poll-era, and five other titles before the poll-era. From 1958 to 1982, the team was led by Hall of Fame coach Paul "Bear" Bryant, who won six national titles with the program. Despite numerous national and conference championships, it was not until 2009 that an Alabama player received a Heisman Trophy, when running back Mark Ingram II became the university's first winner. In 2015, Derrick Henry became the university's second Heisman winner. The Crimson Tide won back to back Heisman trophies in 2020 and 2021, with DeVonta Smith and Bryce Young. | As head coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide football team, Nick Saban has won six national championships.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Forgive the gross presumption in offering career advice to Lewis Hamilton, but he has given his father’s management the flick and told Simon Fuller’s XIX Entertainment their services are no longer needed. He, a novice in such entanglements, is now negotiating his own future, albeit with the help of a lady lawyer of impeccable and long-standing loyalty to the family. We are told by Mercedes that a new contract to replace the one that expires at the end of the season is a formality. Hamilton has said he wants to sign it. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton celebrates his win at the season-opening race in Melbourne, Australia - but is yet to sign a new deal with the team . Hamilton's current Mercedes contract runs out at the end of this season and no new deal has been agreed yet . Yet four months after he won the world championship in Abu Dhabi, there is only one important fact: no deal has been concluded. This is strange. It is literally only an afternoon’s job sorting out the terms of a contract if there is a willingness on both sides to tie it all up. So why the delay? It may be that Hamilton is holding out for the salary he wants. It is not £1million a week he seeks, despite some reports to the contrary. It is probably about €1m – or the piffling matter of £720,000 according to the current exchange rate. Perhaps the two sides will yet come to a mutually agreeable financial arrangement. But, as one of my mentors advised me about the chicanery of the paddock, there is a reason behind everything in Formula One. Mercedes say a new contract is a formality while Hamilton says he wants ti sign, so why the delay? Hamilton celebrates his Australian GP win in front of second-placed Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel . I hope that the delay is because Hamilton is seeking a move to Ferrari. Madness? No. By the end of the season, he hopes to have emulated his hero Ayrton Senna in winning three world titles – the number that most clearly defines a driver’s status in the pantheon. What has he got to lose? Such is Senna’s immortal fame that here in Australia, from where I write this, Senna’s face is still emblazoned on billboards advertising Tag Heuer watches. Never mind that he died in 1994. Before his fatal accident at the San Marino Grand Prix, Senna, as has since become common knowledge, talked to Ferrari about racing for them. I suspect scratching the itch that Senna could not - namely, competing for the sport’s most evocative marque - would mean more to Hamilton than the possibility of clocking up win after win, title after title. He has never been a chaser of records for their own sake. That kind of thing is for Vettel and the birds. Vettel joined Ferrari ahead of the new season after six seasons driving for Red Bull . The German finished third in his first race for the Scuderia in Melbourne eight days ago . However, there is no reason why Ferrari, with their vast resources, could not deliver title-winning cars for him. Then, he would have won championships with three teams, McLaren, Mercedes and Ferrari. His status would be further embellished. Another tantalising, legend-making prospect is a straight fight in identical machinery between Hamilton and Vettel. Hamilton, like Fernando Alonso, thinks himself a better racer than Vettel, who, so the theory goes, was flattered by his Red Bull car in winning four world titles. By replacing Kimi Raikkonen, whose contract runs out at the end of the season, Hamilton could prove what he has always believed. I can hear the chorus of the cautious. Mercedes are a super-team; Ferrari are in upheaval and struggling for form. Yes, but success in sport is often cyclical. Ferrari are fabulously well-resourced. And who knows whether the team that Ross Brawn built at Mercedes will thrive so dominantly in the long run? Will Toto Wolff and Paddy Lowe work harmoniously if the wheels fall off? How will Niki Lauda’s scattergun style of chairmanship play out? If Hamilton wants to be bold and take the plunge, he has a big ally at Ferrari. I hear from unimpeachable sources that the Scuderia’s president, Sergio Marchionne, rates Hamilton top of the drivers available to him. Vettel won four consecutive world championships as Red Bull dominated Formula One . It seems journalism is not a crime, Max Mosley . I hope it won’t spoil our next very agreeable lunch if I point out to Max Mosley that it has emerged from the Old Bailey that journalism is not a criminal offence, after all. For, in a blow to the former FIA president's censorship-seeking pressure group Hacked Off, four Sun journalists were cleared last week of paying public officials for stories in a case that delved far into the ethics of the tabloid Press. My trade's hero of the court is Mr Justice Saunders for his reaction to the prosecution’s haughty counsel, Mr Michael Parroy QC, who implied that the Sun’s chief reporter, John Kay, was wrong to describe the death in Afghanistan of Prince William’s Army mentor as ‘a belting exclusive splash’. The judge said: ‘The mere fact of it being a tragedy does not stop it being a good story.’ Jules Bianchi suffered a horrific crash at the Japanese Grand Prix in October last year . This reminded me of a furore after Jules Bianchi’s awful accident in Suzuka last year. Several bloggers – some of whom, we note, have never remotely held down a staff job at a blue chip media organisation – fulminated piously on their websites about the supposed insensitivity of at least one of my Fleet Street colleagues in seeking facts and answers from Bianchi’s Marussia team and the FIA in those worrying hours immediately after the crash. The critics did not understand that when a sports event immediately becomes a news inferno, the reporter must adapt. It was not insensitivity that led journalists to ask detailed questions of those whose job it was to answer them; it was a professional requirement. I shall stop being sanctimonious myself, now. But if anyone doubts the sense of what I say, I cite Mr Justice Saunders. Former FIA president Max Mosley arrives the High Court in London for the Leveson Inquiry . It's a shame to lose the German Grand Prix . It is bad enough being a Pommie visitor Down Under when the Australian team are blazing their way towards cricket's World Cup final and the boys who briefly masqueraded as the England team are already back and badly bruised in Blighty. But it is not only born and bred Aussies to be dodged. There was also the Pakistani-supporting taxi driver in Melbourne, who dissected England’s failings, brought me up to date with Imran Khan’s latest political plans and was about to fly next morning to Adelaide to watch his Pakistan team lose, as it predictably turned out, to Australia. Then you go to Sydney and are driven back from Watsons Bay by a Bangladeshi taxi driver. He hoots with laughter at how his heroes gave our lot a national disgrace of a caning. England were dumped out of the World Cup after a defeat by Bangladesh earlier this month . But it was still a rare thrill to go to the giant bowl of the MCG to watch one of the 49 days of cricket in this absurdly protracted competition. Sitting in the members’ area, we could visit the library, sip refreshments in reasonable comfort and gawp at the galleries of pictures of heroes like Douglas Jardine, who, as captain of the 1932-33 ‘Bodyline’ team, led the most notorious touring party to these shores since the First Fleet. A few hours after returning from the MCG it was announced that the German Grand Prix was off. Like most Formula One devotees, I was sorry. This is a heritage race. But could either German venue, the Nurburgring or Hockenheim, claim that they offered a world-class experience for punters or the travelling Formula One family? Hamilton drives his Mercedes to third in last season's German Grand Prix at Hockenheim . F1 is missing the voice of Murray Walker . Australian television sport is said to be a tough and jealous business. Especially so if you sound as English as Eddie Redmayne. But a few of our chaps have really cracked it: Henry Blofeld and Mark Nicholas, both from cricket, and, spectacularly, Murray Walker. Murray’s friend and successor, James Allen, told me once that by his reckoning only Sir Jack Brabham and, possibly, Alan Jones stood higher in the esteem of Australian motor-racing than our own high-decibel warbler. Reflecting on the dissatisfied response to the first race of the season in Melbourne, I wondered how different perceptions among TV viewers would have been if Murray had been behind the microphone rather than watching, headphones on, from the study of his Hampshire home. The famous F1 commentator Murray Walker had the ability doubled the excitement levels just by being there . For all the blanket coverage provided by Sky’s pioneering crack team, and the BBC’s excellent professional output, there is no longer that one voice which doubles the excitement levels just by being there. Transcendent commentators come along in any sport once in a generation, if we are lucky. David Coleman was one such golden larynx in athletics, a sport that has lost a little of its allure since he left it. Murray Walker, on two continents, was another. | Lewis Hamilton's current Mercedes deal expires at the end of this season . Mercedes say a new contract for the world champion is a formality .

Where does the Golden Retriever originate from? | The Golden Retriever is a Scottish breed of retriever dog of medium size. It is characterised by a gentle and affectionate nature and a striking golden coat. It is commonly kept as a pet and is among the most frequently registered breeds in several Western countries. It is a frequent competitor in dog shows and obedience trials; it is also used as a gundog, and may be trained for use as a guide dog.
The breed was created by Sir Dudley Marjoribanks at his Scottish estate Guisachan in the late nineteenth century. He cross-bred Flat-coated Retrievers with Tweed Water Spaniels, with some further infusions of Red Setter, Labrador Retriever and Bloodhound. The breed was recognised by the Kennel Club in 1913, and during the interwar period spread to many parts of the world. | The Golden Retriever dog breed originates from Scotland. |

Spain, thrashed 5-1 by Holland at the World Cup, never looked like gaining revenge thanks to a combination of bad finishing and good goalkeeping by Kenneth Vermeer.

Referee: William Collum (Scotland) Hiddink's second stint as coach has been disastrous so far. In seven matches ahead of Tuesday's friendly, his team had beaten only Kazakhstan and Latvia in European qualifiers and lost to Italy, the Czech Republic, Iceland and Mexico in qualifiers and friendlies. Spain coach Vicente del Bosque, missing Chelsea striker Diego Costa, fielded an experimental side at the Amsterdam Arena, while Hiddink again had to make do without his injured stars Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben and was also missing center back Ron Vlaar. The veteran coach made five changes to the team that needed an extra-time equaliser on Saturday to salvage a 1-1 draw against Turkey that left Holland third in Euro 2016 qualifying Group A. Scorer De Vrij had a double celebration as he, along with Daley Blind and Bruno Martins Indi, marked their 25th cap. Blind posted a picture of the trio on Instagram with the message: 'Happy with the win against Spain! What a result! Also proud of my achievement; 25 caps for the Dutch squad! Congrats to @stefandevrij3 and @brunomartinsindi.' After the game, Dutch captain Wesley Sneijder said: ''We had a point to prove after the match against Turkey and we did that well.' De Vrij gave Holland the lead in the 13th minute when he headed in a cross from Sneijder after Spain only half-cleared a corner. Ajax midfielder Klaassen scored his first international goal to double the Dutch lead three minutes later when he slipped away from Santi Cazorla and fired a shot that David de Gea parried before Klaassen hammered in the rebound. Vermeer preserved the lead with two good saves around the half-hour mark as Spain pressed forward. First the Feyenoord keeper advanced off his line to deny a rushing Gerard Pique and two minutes later scrambled to swat away the ball after Pedro had dispossessed Bruno Martins Indi. Willems, brought in to left back to provide more attacking options, looked vulnerable early, giving away the ball twice in dangerous positions before providing the assist for Klaassen's goal. 'We have to learn from those mistakes where we shot ourselves in the foot,' Hiddink said. Goalscorer De Vrij slides in on Spain midfielder Mario Suarez during the first half on Tuesday evening .

Summarize the different types of firestop pillows. | Firestop pillows are passive fire protection items used for firestopping holes to achieve fireproofing. The various kinds of firestop pillows are intended to slow the spread of fire. They are often used to meet fire-resistance ratings in conduits that need frequent access.
Description and use
Firestop pillows are used for firestopping holes in wall or floor assemblies, particularly in openings that require frequent access (e.g., cable changes), requiring the removal of the firestopping and resealing after the changes are completed. The products are required to have fire-resistance ratings and to be used in accordance with a certification listing.
There are three types of firestop pillows:[citation needed]
rockwool batts with intumescent resin inside plastic bags
vermiculite with intumescent graphite inside of fibreglass bags
intumescent foam rubber
The intumescent resins in batt-based firestop pillows contains hydrates, or chemically bound water. On the fire side, the plastic bag burns off exposing the intumescent to the fire, which releases the water in the form of vapour or steam. The steam rises and hits the plastic bag interior on the unexposed side, where it condenses back to water, and runs back down to cool the installation below. Batt-based pillows are held in place by compressing them, allowing friction to restrain them.
The vermiculite fabric bag and the graphite are noncombustible. There is also no significant release of chemically bound water.
The foam-based pillows intumesce, swelling as a result of heat exposure. | Firestop pillows are protection items used to achieve fireproofing. There are three types of firestop pillows:
1. Rockwool Batts
2. Vermiculite
3. Intumescent Foam Rubber |
Please provide a short biography of The Needle from the passage provided. | The Needle is a fictional character, a mutant supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Mark Gruenwald, Carmine Infantino, and Al Gordon, the character first appeared in Spider-Woman #9 (December 1978). Creator Mark Gruenwald brought the character back during his run on the West Coast Avengers as a member of the villain team Night Shift, which included other former Spider-Woman foes.
After being mugged one night while leaving work, Josef Saint, an elderly tailor, lost an eye and his ability to speak. While recuperating, he discovered that he has the power to paralyze with his gaze. Seeking revenge, Saint assumed the guise of the vigilante the Needle. Armed with a yard-long needle, the mute villain attacked young men on the streets at night, sewing their mouths shut. After victimizing S.H.I.E.L.D. agent Jerry Hunt, the Needle incurred the wrath of Spider-Woman, the agent's girlfriend, and she took him out with a close-range venom blast. He was subsequently arrested.
With other superhuman adventurers and criminals, the Needle was imprisoned by the Locksmith, but then freed by Spider-Woman.
The Needle joined the Night Shift, and teamed with Captain America against the Power Broker and his augmented mutates. Alongside the Night Shift, he tested Moon Knight to take over as the leader of the Night Shift. Later, alongside the Night Shift, he battled the West Coast Avengers. Alongside the Night Shift, the second Hangman, and Satannish, he battled the Avengers West Coast; his abilities had been enhanced by Satannish's black magic.
The Needle was later defeated by Armory.
Needle appears with the Night Shift, as part of the Hood's gang. They battle the Midnight Sons, and Needle impales Daimon Hellstrom with his needle, before Jennifer Kale knocks him off with a spell.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Australia reached the semi-final’s of the World Cup as they defeated Pakistan by six wickets on Friday. Under the lights at the Adelaide Oval a drop by Rahat Ali proved to be the turning point as Australia chased down the below-par 213 set by Pakistan. The recalled Josh Hazlewood took 4-35 to restrict the 1992 World Cup winners to such a low total before Shane Watson hit an unbeaten 64 to give the hosts victory in a fiercely contested tie. Mitchell Starc celebrates a wicket with his team-mates as Australia ripped through Pakistan's batting line-up . Sohail Khan successfully appeals for the wicket of Aaron Finch, as Pakistan fought back with the ball . Sohail Khan puts down a catch in the outfield, as Pakistan failed to take their chances and apply the pressure . Aggressive, brave, attacking captaincy choices have been the building blocks for the best sides in the World Cup so far. Brendon McCullum, AB de Villiers and today Michael Clarke are proving that despite the wickets by-and-large being a paradise for batsmen, their ingenuity can and does lead to success. Yet Misbah brings his own unique style of captaincy to the table with a calm demeanour, even in the face of collapse and struggle, that breeds belief within his side and almost earned them a shock win. Pakistan came into the match in a confident mood, on the back of four successive victories, following heavy defeats in the first two matches of the World Cup group stage. Batting first, after winning the toss, seemed the sub-continental side’s best chance of defeating Australia. Sarfraz Ahmed, Pakistan’s centurion in their previous match against Ireland, couldn’t replicate his heroics as he edged Mitchell Starc to a diving Watson at slip for 10. And Hazlewood, brought back at the expense of Pat Cummins, justified his selection as he sent down a wide ball that moved away from Ahmed Shehzad and was edged to Clarke at second slip. Wahab Riaz cannot hide his disappointment as, despite a strong spell, Pakistan came up short . Shane Watson (left) and Steve Smith (right) steadied the ship as Australia eventually made it home safely . With both of Pakistan’s openers back in shed, the indomitable Misbah strode to the crease, in what was to be his final one-day international match. The circumstances, with Pakistan 24-2 in the sixth over, were nothing new to Pakistani captain who has long been called upon to be the saviour of the side – not least in this World Cup. But every great sporting saviour needs a bit of luck from time to time and Misbah’s came just two balls into his innings. Hazlewood steamed in, saw the ball clip the 40-year-old’s thigh pad and hit leg stump, the bails lit-up but then stayed in place. It was a lifeline both Misbah and his side desperately needed and along with Haris Sohail, Pakistan’s innings began to be rebuilt. The pair shared a 73-run third wicket partnership and just when they looked ready to propel their side to a competitive total, greed became the undoing of their usually risk-free leader Misbah. Misbah-ul-Haq top scored for Pakistan with 34, as they lost wickets at regular intervals against Australia . Umar Akmal works the ball away behind square on the offside, as plenty of Pakistan batsmen got in and out . Mitchell Starc dives to take a catch which ends the Pakistan innings in the final over of their 50 . Equally it took a stroke of genius and bravery from Australian captain Clarke, who brought Glenn Maxwell back despite Misbah having twice previously sending the allrounder clear of the ropes and initially sending him out of the attack. But, it was Maxwell who had the last laugh as the right-handed batsman eyed the shortest boundary once more but instead holed-out to Aaron Finch in the deep for 34. It was a sad end for one of Pakistan’s greatest players, who passed 3,000 ODI runs as captain during his innings. A typical Johnson short ball got rid of the set Haris (41) before Maxwell claimed his second scalp of the innings as Umar Akmal (20) was dismissed in an identical fashion to his captain. So at 124-5 Shahid ‘Boom Boom’ Afridi, the only batsman to have hit more sixes than fours in ODI’s, was required to clear the ropes a few times. Though he did that, smashing three four’s and one six in his innings, he needed to make far more than the 23 of 15 balls that he amassed. Pakistan bowled well early on, but didn't take their chances as Australia began to exert control . Australia’s fast bowlers; Hazlewood and Starc (2-40) had been on top from the beginning of proceedings and after bowling out their opposition for just 213, they were the side on top going into the break. The statistics really best summed up Pakistan’s batting performance; eight batsmen made double figures, none of them passed 50, all 10 were out caught. Pace bowlers have dominated the World Cup thus far and with both sides boasting some of the best in business it was of little surprise that Australia faltered in their chase of their modest target. Sohail Khan trapped Finch plumb in front for just two and although Finch reviewed the decision, there was no changing how straight the delivery was. What followed, from the eighth over onwards was a masterclass in brutal but glorious fast bowling from Wahab Riaz. The 29-year-old’s first over accounted for the dangerous David Warner for 24 as he sent a short and wide delivery down third man’s throat. Wahab’s second got rid of Clarke (8) as another well-directed short ball was gleefully taken by Sohaib Maqsood at forward short leg. The left-handed bowler continued to steam in and had Shane Watson scampering around as if he was holding a bat for the first time. Steve Smith hit an excellent half century to set Australia back on the path to victory at the Adelaide Oval . And for all the world the sensational spell looked to be ending with a third wicket to Wahab’s name but for a spectacularly poor drop by Rahat Ali at fine leg as Watson sent the ball to him. Meanwhile at the other end Steve Smith, easily Australia’s best batsman for the past 12 months, was batting supremely and with great composure as he passed 50 for the third consecutive innings. But having made 65, the 25-year-old seemed to momentarily lose concentration and fell lbw to a fuller Ehsan Adil delivery. The task of seeing Australia home then fell on Watson's shoulders and despite his troubles at the beginning of his innings, he shared an unbeaten 68-run partnership with Maxwell (44 not out) as Australia reached their target with 16 overs to spare. Undeniably Wahab produced one the greatest World Cup bowling spells and deserved so much more then to be on the losing side. Australia may have outplayed India, their semi-final opponents, during the tri-series prior to the World Cup but the match on Thursday will be very different. The 2011 World Cup champions have considerably raised their game and Australia will face their sternest test yet in Sydney as they chase a fifth World Cup title. | Pakistan bowled out for 213 in the final over of their 50 . Australia stumble to 59-3 when Michael Clarke is caught at short leg . But Steve Smith (65) and Shane Watson calm the nerves as hosts progress . Australia will face India in the last four . |
What events did John James Monckton set the world record for? | John James Monckton (28 October 1938 – 29 June 2017) was an Australian backstroke swimmer who won a silver medal in the 100-metre event at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne. Although he set multiple world records, he never won an Olympic gold medal.
An apprentice carpenter from the New England region of New South Wales, Monckton appeared to be primed to win gold at the 1956 Olympics. At the national team camp in Townsville before the games, he became the first person to swim 400-metre backstroke in under five minutes. Although it was not a regularly contested event at international level, it was a promising sign for the event to be included for medal competition in the Olympics. He also set world records in the 110- and 220-yard freestyle events.
At the Olympics, Monckton was the fastest qualifier in the heats and semifinal, but was upstaged in the final by teammate David Theile.
In the absence of Theile, who had retired after the Olympics to study medicine at university, Monckton dominated backstroke swimming, winning the 110-yard backstroke event at the 1958 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Cardiff and also the 4×110-yard medley relay. Monckton then prepared for another Olympics in 1960 in Rome, with Theile deferring his studies to defend his Olympic title. Monckton again led the qualifying in the heats and semifinals. However, in the final, he misjudged the turn and broke a finger. He limped home in seventh position, with Theile successfully defending his title. Monckton continued competing in the hope of reaching a third Olympics in 1964, but retired after his performances began to deteriorate.
He married Maureen Giles, an Australian swimmer at the 1956 Olympics.
He was inducted into the Sport Australia Hall of Fame in 1999.
The Monckton Aquatic Centre in his hometown of Armidale is named for him. | John James Monckton set world records for the 400-metre backstroke, 220-yard freestyle and 110-yard freestyle events. |

Without quoting directly from the text, give me a summary of how rainbows are formed. | A rainbow is an optical phenomenon that can occur under certain meteorological conditions. It is caused by reflection, refraction and dispersion of light in water droplets resulting in an effect similar to a spectrum of light appearing in the sky. It takes the form of a multicoloured circular arc. Rainbows caused by sunlight always appear in the section of sky directly opposite the Sun.
Rainbows can be full circles. However, the observer normally sees only an arc formed by illuminated droplets above the ground, and centered on a line from the Sun to the observer's eye.
In a primary rainbow, the arc shows red on the outer part and violet on the inner side. This rainbow is caused by light being refracted when entering a droplet of water, then reflected inside on the back of the droplet and refracted again when leaving it.
In a double rainbow, a second arc is seen outside the primary arc, and has the order of its colours reversed, with red on the inner side of the arc. This is caused by the light being reflected twice on the inside of the droplet before leaving it. | Rainbows are formed when light shines through water droplets, creating an optical phenomenon. The light is bent and reflected, creating a multicolored arc. Rainbows created by sunlight can be found in the sky, opposite the sun. Rainbows are usually observed as an arc, but can appear as full circles. A double rainbow appears when the light shining through each water droplet is reflected twice, creating a second arc, with the colours appearing in reverse order. The colors of the rainbow include; red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet. The colors appear in order of their wavelength, from longest to shortest. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The mother of a two-year-old who is allergic to the sun wants her daughter's condition to be recognised as a disability. Monroe Mills has two rare skin conditions, photo-aggravated eczema and solar urticaria, which cause her to break out in painful welts when she spends just seconds in direct sunlight. But it is not just the outside of Monroe that suffers when she is exposed, it is her insides too. Scroll down for video . Monroe Mills has two rare skin conditions, which cause her to break out in painful welts. When she does, the only way to soothe her is to wrap her up in bandages (pictured above with her doll also named Monroe) Monroe, 2, has suffered from the condition since she was born. She is pictured on the right with her late cat, Marley . Mother Sarah Mills, from Nambucca Heads on New South Wales' mid-north coast, told Daily Mail Australia her daughter gets headaches and stomach pains along with becoming lethargic and dizzy. 'A GP just told us she gets [the symptoms] outside as well as inside her body,' the 28-year-old said. To help prevent this from happening, Monroe wears a head-to-toe bodysuit to cover up as well as slathering on sunscreen and zinc, and wearing a hat and sunglasses. Ms Mills said it was mission for the family to go shopping or to the doctor's, and lately the two-year-old's reactions had become so severe that they have had to start carrying around an epipen. Mother Sarah Mills (pictured left with her son, Hendrix, and Monroe) is fighting to have daughter's conditions recognised as a disability . Exposure to the sun causes painful welts and means Monroe spends most of the night awake. Ms Mills said she averages four hours sleep on 'a good night' The flare-ups could also be caused by fluoroscent lights inside shopping centres . She said Monroe's flare-ups could happen any time her daughter stepped into the sunlight. She could be outside for 20 seconds or just a matter of minutes before she would break out. 'We just remain as indoors as much as humanly possibly,' Mr Monroe said. 'We run into the shops as fast as we can from the car. 'If we wanted to go shopping, she’d have a flare up from the fluorescent lights.' When Monroe's skin does break out in welts, the only way to soothe her is to put her in a bleach bath, apply steroid creams, and then wrap her in wet and dry layers of bandages. This happens so often now that the little girl becomes distraught when she sees her mother getting out any type of cream. 'She's become extremely scared of creams. When she sees the sunscreen or steroid creams come out she starts crying,' Ms Mills told Daily Mail Australia. 'She's had enough of being creamed up 24 hours a day. At night, she breaks down and starts crying because she's so itchy and in pain.' The two-year-old's brother, Hendrix (pictured on the left), has autism. Ms Mills recently had to quit her job to become Monroe's full-time carer . To prevent her breaking out, Monroe dons a head-to-toe bodysuit (pictured) along with slathering on sunscreen and wearing sunglasses . This is Monroe's every day life and her welts can last for 20 minutes to several hours. Broken sleep patterns are the norm for her and Ms Mills who averages about four hours a night on 'a good night'. 'It’s extremely heart breaking to watch her in so much pain. Now that she is at the age where she can put two and two together she asks from the back seat while we're driving to doctors: "Why does the sun hate me, Mummy?",' Ms Mills said. 'It just shatters my heart for her when she thinks that the sun hates her. It’s really confronting.' On top of looking after Monroe, Ms Mills also has an autistic five-year-old son, Hendrix. She recently had to quit her job to become a full-time carer. People point and laugh at Monroe (left) when she is in her bodysuit (right) and Ms Mills wants that to stop by raising awareness of her daughter's conditions . The single mother-of-two has started up a fundraising campaign to help her cover the costs of caring for Monroe, which include a special $50 sunscreen and $200 in fuel costs a month to visit a doctor in Newcastle. Ms Mills said she spends at least $200 a week on meeting Monroe's needs alone. She gets no other assistance from the Federal Government other than a carer's allowance because they do not recognise Monroe's conditions as a disability. 'I can't work because of how demanding her needs are. No employer is going to be okay with me taking every second week off because Monroe is in hospital,' she said. Ms Mills says she has reached breaking point while caring for Monroe and is trying to get more help . At first, Ms Mills used her Miracle for Monroe Facebook page to raise awareness of her daughter's conditions because people were laughing and pointing at her in the street when she wore her bodysuit. 'In the beginning, she was pointed at and laughed at, not just by kids but adults too. She picks up on it now and I want everyone in the world to know [about her conditions] and stop laughing at her,' Ms Mills said. 'I want people to understand the struggles she’s going through. 'We have people ask her what’s wrong with her and I tell them she’s allergic to the sun and people say: "Thank goodness, I thought she had been burnt". 'I'm not saying being burnt is not bad, but there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Whereas Monroe is in constant pain and doctors are happy to say stay home. 'She can't even play in the park.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Caracas (CNN)Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro said Saturday an unspecified number of Americans were arrested "a few days ago" for engaging in espionage and recruitment activities. The President said they included an American pilot of Latin American origin, arrested in the southwest border state of Táchira. He said the pilot was found in possession of "all kinds of documents" and was being interrogated by the authorities, though he did not identify him. The Venezuelan government has made many similar claims in recent years, without ever substantiating them. Maduro also announced Saturday a series of measures, including visa requirements for U.S. citizens and the downsizing of the U.S. Embassy in Caracas, to counteract what he called U.S. "interference" in his country. Venezuela has in recent weeks accused the United States of being behind an alleged coup plot. Speaking at an "anti-imperialist" rally in the capital, Maduro said visas would now be required for all U.S. visitors and that the U.S. Embassy in Caracas would now need foreign ministry approval for any meetings. The Embassy, which he said had more than 100 staff, is to be reduced to a number closer to the 17 Venezuelan diplomats based in Washington. Moreover, a group of prominent U.S. officials, current and retired, will be banned from entering Venezuela because of what Maduro said was their involvement in "bombing Iraq, Syria and Vietnam" and other "terrorist" actions. The officials include George W. Bush, former U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney, former CIA Director George Tenet and several current members of Congress, including Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, Bob Menendez and Mario Diaz-Balart. Following the Maduro's announcement Diaz-Balart reacted via Twitter, saying he has "always wanted to travel to a corrupt country that is not a free democracy. And now Castro's lap dog won't let me!" The move comes after the U.S. government last month approved a law under which Venezuelan officials allegedly involved in human rights violations are to have their visas revoked and their U.S. assets frozen. A relatively small, but noisy crowd, dressed mostly in revolutionary red, applauded and cheered the measures announced by the President from a platform outside the presidential palace in downtown Caracas. Four missionaries from Bethel Evangelical Free Church in Devils Lake, North Dakota were released by Venezuelan authorities on Saturday, a church official said. Pastor Bruce Dick said the missionaries arrived in Venezuela on February 20 and were detained a few days ago. "We love the Venezuelan people and have served alongside them for over 12 years," Dick said. "We have been praying along with hundreds or thousands of others for their release and for those in Venezuela who also have been affected by this." It is unclear if the detention and release of these Americans is connected to Maduro's charges of espionage. Journalist Phil Gunson reported from Caracas. CNN's Juan Carlos Lopez, Florencia Trucco and Janet DiGiacomo contributed to this report. | Four Americans missionaries were released Saturday after being detained a few days ago .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Gunmen killed 19 people and sent tourists scrambling for cover in a siege at a museum in Tunisia's capital on Wednesday. The North African nation's Prime Minister called it a cowardly terrorist attack and warned that three suspects were still on the loose. Tunisian security forces killed two attackers as they ended the hostage siege at the Bardo Museum in Tunis, Prime Minister Habib Essid said. But the death toll, which included 17 tourists and at least one Tunisian security officer, could climb. Polish, Italian, German and Spanish tourists were among those killed, Essid said, with another 20 foreign tourists and two Tunisians wounded in the attack. "It's a cowardly attack mainly targeting the economy of Tunisia," the Prime Minister said. "We should unite to defend our country." The scene played out at a popular tourist destination in the heart of Tunisia's capital in a building linked to where the nation's parliament meets. Lawmakers there were in the middle of a committee meeting when they heard gunfire erupt. "The tourists were frightened and they were running in different directions. We opened the doors and we got them to enter to the Parliament," lawmaker Mehrezia Labidi told CNN's Christiane Amanpour. An administrator told lawmakers to lay down on the ground as a gunbattle broke out between terrorists and police, said Sabrine Ghoubatini, a member of parliament. It wasn't long before the building was evacuated. Photos on Twitter showed security forces in bulletproof vests and black helmets and masks, guns drawn, in the area. Authorities set up a large security cordon around the targeted museum. Rescuers carried wounded tourists away on stretchers. Essid didn't specify where the attackers came from. Interior Ministry spokesman Mohamed Ali Aroui called them Islamists in remarks on national radio. The museum, housed in a 19th century palace, bills itself as "a jewel of Tunisian heritage." Its exhibits showcase Tunisian art, culture and history, and it boasts a collection of mosaics, including one of the poet Virgil, as well as marble sculptures, furniture, jewels and other items. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack. But it happened just days after a Tunisian jihadist tweeted that a pledge of allegiance to ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was coming soon, according to the SITE Intelligence Group. In his message, the jihadi claimed to belong to Jund al-Khilafah in Tunisia, a group that in December pledged allegiance to ISIS, even though that vow didn't seem to have fully registered with the Islamist extremist group. His post comes after an ISIS fighter in Raqqa, Syria, recently appeared in a video questioning why jihadis in Tunisia had not pledged fealty. "This raises the possibility that the museum attack could be ISIS' debut on the Tunisian stage, timed to precede a pledge of allegiance from Tunisian jihadis for maximum impact," CNN terrorism analyst Paul Cruickshank said. Tunisia has seen far less militant violence than other nations in the region that were part of the Arab Spring uprisings, like neighboring Libya. But it hasn't been immune to it. The government has been battling a jihadist presence in the Chaambi Mountains. There have been several apparent political assassinations. And in February, the country's Interior Ministry announced the arrests of about 100 alleged extremists and published a video allegedly showing that the group possessed a formula for making explosives and a photograph of ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Up to 3,000 Tunisians are believed to have traveled to Iraq and Syria to fight as jihadists, more than any other country, according to the International Centre for the Study of Radicalization in London. "There are hundreds that have returned from the battlefield, yet we haven't seen this kind of activity in Tunisia yet," said Rick Francona, a former U.S. Air Force intelligence officer and CNN military analyst. "I think it was only a matter of time. And today was the day." Tunisia is where the Arab Spring took root in December 2010, when a poor, 26-year-old man set himself on fire in front of a Tunisian government building after police confiscated his vegetable cart, sparking protests there. Protests throughout the Middle East and North Africa soon followed, with revolutions toppling governments in some countries. While violence and instability have continued to shake Egypt, Libya and Syria, in many ways, Tunisia has been the exception, with The Economist going so far as to name it "Country of the Year" for 2014. "The idealism engendered by the Arab spring has mostly sunk in bloodshed and extremism, with a shining exception: Tunisia," the magazine wrote. "... Its economy is struggling and its polity is fragile; but Tunisia's pragmatism and moderation have nurtured hope in a wretched region and a troubled world." While it has been more peaceful than other countries, Tunisia has seen its share of violence and political turmoil. There was cautious optimism after the October 2011 elections -- the country's first since its independence in 1956 -- that involved 60 political parties and thousands of independent candidates vying for seats in the country's new Constitutional Assembly. The next two years saw some crackdowns on media freedom, as well as criticisms of efforts to criminalize blasphemy and inject strict religious discourse in mosques. In 2013, two opposition leaders were assassinated. But analysts say Wednesday's attack could have been carried out by people who care more about fomenting terror or establishing a strict Islamic caliphate -- ISIS' aim -- than Tunisian politics. The country has also been batting socioeconomic problems such as youth unemployment. Young people who can't get jobs are finding that joining extremist groups like ISIS and al Qaeda is a way out. Up until now, these recruits have largely done their fighting away from home. Experts think that by taking the fight to Tunisia, they'll hurt their cause not just by hurting the tourism-reliant economy, but also by alienating most of their countrymen. "They're already isolated and marginalized, and they further isolate and marginalize themselves by these actions," said Mubin Shaikh, a former undercover counterterrorism operative. "... This will just further isolate and alienate these groups from the rest of the public." Travelers warned of risks as Tunisia reels from attack . CNN's Samira Said, Ashley Fantz, Alanne Orjoux, Gul Tuysuz, Sandrine Amiel, Antonia Mortensen, Laura Perez Maestro, Vasco Cotovio, as well as journalists Shokri Shihi, Barbie Latza Nadeau and Livia Borghese, contributed to this report. | 17 tourists are killed in an attack at a museum in Tunisia's capital .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Charlottesville Police said Monday that investigators found no "substantive basis" to support a University of Virginia female student's story that she was raped at the Phi Kappa Psi house, an account that Rolling Stone published last November. "Jackie" told the magazine that in late September 2012, she was assaulted at the house, the article said. Police Chief Tim Longo noted that just because police found no evidence to support her account, "That doesn't mean that something terrible didn't happen to Jackie" on the day in question. Longo said he welcomed any information that might still be out there about the case. The Rolling Stone story generated controversy from the moment it came out, first sparking a debate about the prevalence of rape on college campuses throughout the country. But then the controversy turned toward the story's content when apparent contradictions and discrepancies in the article came to light. Rolling Stone said it did not get the accounts of those accused in the piece, and apologized. Editors vowed to conduct their own investigation, which is expected to be published in early April. Longo said Jackie did not give police a statement during their investigation. CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin said it's not unusual for a sexual assault victim to avoid the criminal process. "Sometimes they can't deal with the probing that occurs. They don't want to submit to a rape kit. They're embarrassed. They know that they will be scrutinized, quite frankly. So that in and of itself ... doesn't make this young woman a liar," she said. Hostin pointed out that only about 2% of rapes that are reported are false, and only about 40% of rapes that occur are even reported: "So the suggestion that she just sort of made this entire thing up flies in the face of the statistics." Nine out of 11 people at the fraternity house at the time the sexual assault allegedly occurred talked to police, Longo said. None of them said they knew about a rape, he said, and investigators further determined that it was unlikely a party even happened at the fraternity house on the day in question as was alleged in the Rolling Stone story. The Rolling Stone reporter, Sabrina Rubin Erdely, talked to police, authorities said, but there were some questions she declined to answer for journalistic reasons. It's unclear what those questions were. In total, authorities spoke to 70 people as part of their investigation, and just two believed that Jackie was the victim of something, Capt. Gary Pleasants told CNN's "Erin Burnett OutFront." "The two of them were fairly convinced that something had happened -- not the way it was described, the way it was written. But they thought, again, that something had probably occurred," he said. After the story's publication, UVA suspended the fraternity's activities, and outrage spread throughout campus as many struggled to comprehend the horrific experience that Jackie said she endured. The article also suggested the school failed to respond to the alleged assault. Phi Kappa Psi released a statement Monday, saying the "discredited" story has done significant damage, while acknowledging the "importance of sexual assault issues on America's college campuses." The fraternity asked Rolling Stone to "fully and unconditionally retract its story." Rolling Stone editors said they chose not to contact the man who allegedly orchestrated the attack on Jackie, or any of the men she said participated in her alleged assault, "because the editors feared retaliation against her," the magazine said, adding that it regretted that decision. "In the face of new information, there now appear to be discrepancies in Jackie's account, and we have come to the conclusion that our trust in her was misplaced," Rolling Stone said in December. Rolling Stone Managing Editor Will Dana later tweeted that "the truth would have been better served by getting the other side of the story." Rolling Stone issued an apology for discrepancies in its article and began to fact-check it. Steve Coll, dean of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, has been leading the independent review, CNN senior media correspondent Brian Stelter reported Sunday. Stelter said there has been much speculation about Coll's findings. Columbia University's review will be published in early April in the magazine. "I can't really say I'm surprised since so much of the evidence was already called into question," a former friend of Jackie's said in response to what police found. "I think it's great that they're staying open to considering any new evidence that comes up." Ryan Duffin added: "I've resigned myself to realize that I might never know what did or didn't happen." CNN's Sara Ganim and Michael Martinez contributed to this report. | Police: No evidence found to support claims made by UVA student that she was raped .

Who fought in the Second Battle of Bapaume? | The Second Battle of Bapaume was a battle of the First World War that took place at Bapaume in France, from 21 August 1918 to 3 September 1918. It was a continuation of the Battle of Albert and is also referred to as the second phase of that battle. The British and Dominion attack was part of what was later known as the Allies' Hundred Days Offensive.
The Second Battle of Bapaume was carried out over a period of two weeks and involved the divisions of IV Corps; the British 5th, 37th, 42nd, and the 63rd Divisions along with the New Zealand Division. On 29 August, elements of the New Zealand Division, after heavy fighting in the days prior, occupied Bapaume as the defending Germans withdrew. It then pushed onto the Bancourt Ridge, to the east of Bapaume. | The British and New Zealanders fought the Germans in the Second Battle of Bapaume |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)"Good night Malaysian three-seven-zero." It was a routine sign-off, an all-is-well. On March 8, 2014, at 1:19 a.m., someone spoke those last words from Malaysia Airlines Flight 370 to air traffic controllers before the Boeing 777 vanished. A year later, searchers have no new clues as to where it went with 239 people on board. Radar and satellite reports have provided hints, but searchers still have nothing to hold in their hands. No wreckage seen floating at sea or beached on shore. No fuselage resting on the sea floor. Experts have said the data indicate the flight path from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, to Beijing unexpectedly veered, putting the commercial jet over the southern Indian Ocean. But the water's vast and intricate depths have revealed no secrets. And as clarity has eluded grasp, analysts have made many speculations about what happened. The most controversial idea: Is the maritime search area all wrong? Did the plane land clandestinely on solid ground? Here are some expert theories about what happened to MH370. Investigators have since cast doubt on some of their details. Who radioed those last words to air traffic control? Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah? First officer Fariq Abdul Hamid? There was much speculation over that, but the Malaysian inspectors in April said it was Zaharie. The pilots were supposed to check in with new air traffic controllers in Vietnam, but never did. One theory is that one pilot may have incapacitated the other, then guided the plane to its end, taking the passengers down with him in a dramatic suicide. Mark Weiss, a retired American Airlines captain, has flown a Boeing 777. He believed shortly after the crash that there may have been a struggle. "It was one of the pilots that maybe had a meltdown or did something nefarious to the airplane," he said. But Malaysia Airlines Chief Executive Ahmad Jauhari Yahya has vehemently defended his employees, particularly the pilot. "We do not suspect any one of our crew until there's such evidence. ... Captain Zaharie is a very capable man," he said. "We have no reason to suspect (him)." Weiss also thought there could have been another person -- a crew member or someone else -- in the cockpit who "was bent on perhaps committing suicide or doing some destruction on the aircraft." Copilot Hamid, 27, reportedly once invited a woman and her friend into the cockpit on a 2011 flight between Thailand and Malaysia. "That's an enormous breach of security," Weiss said. But investigators punched holes in the idea, saying there was no indication of a third party in the cockpit, CNN reported in April. The difference between hijacking and commandeering is nuanced. The former term is often used when the hijacker issues a demand such as being taken to a safe-haven country or receiving ransom to release passengers. When people commandeer a plane, they might keep the motives secret, said political analyst Peter Bergen. They may want to steer it themselves at a target, like the September 11, 2001, terrorists did. In 1994, a FedEx employee burst into the cockpit of FedEx Flight 705 with a hammer and spear gun. He wanted to crash the plane into the company's Memphis, Tennessee, headquarters. The crew thwarted that takeover. "Commandeering would fit with the few facts that we do know, and (it's) certainly a theory that we haven't heard a lot of that isn't a conspiracy," Bergen said. Experts are divided on this theory, partly because no terrorists have claimed responsibility at a moment when they would have the world's attention -- unless potential terrorists were waiting for something. MH370 went to Kazakhstan. Outlandish conjecture or genius insight? The theory that Russian actors on board MH370 found a way to get the plane through the border territory of China, Pakistan and India to a Kazakh landing strip leased to Russia comes from science journalist and private pilot Jeff Wise. Fleets of ships and search aircraft are looking in the wrong direction, he says. The airliner went north, not south. Investigators may have misinterpreted a key component of the Inmarsat satellite data. "This is not a normal investigation. They need to throw out the book," Wise has said. Another aviation analyst, David Soucie, also cast doubt after MH370 went missing on the most widely held belief that the plane hit the Indian Ocean. "If it had crashed in the way that we think it did, which is to run out of fuel and hit the water and break up into pieces, there would be pieces somewhere," he said. But Michael Exner, an engineer with decades of experience in the mobile satellite communications industry, says the data "accurately and unambiguously" shows MH370 went down near the so-called 7th arc, a path along which the search has been focused. "The current ATSB search strategy remains the best search strategy," he said. In a less sinister but equally lethal explanation, some experts theorized the plane mysteriously crashed somewhere because of mechanical malfunction. Perhaps the electronics died, or a fire broke out, preventing the pilots from communicating. Maybe they turned to look for a landing strip but couldn't steer the plane properly. Pilots had trouble embracing the thought. "I've been running that in my brain now ever since this thing happened," said Jim Tilmon, an aviation expert and retired American Airlines pilot. "One possibility would be a total electrical failure which is very, very hard to imagine because (the plane) has so many generators coming from different places," Tilmon said. If they fail, there are other backups. He has said he's never heard of anything like it happening before. For months after MH370 disappeared, Malaysian officials reported details of the search to next of kin and the public. Something would be spotted, hopes rose, and then it didn't pan out. Hopes were dashed; anguish returned. Sunday, a year to the day after the plane disappeared, the international independent investigation committee released an interim report on the disappearance of MH370. It found no indications of unusual behavior among the aircraft's pilots and cabin crew before it took off, and said that Zaharie had had no personal or financial problems that would cast suspicion on him. The interim report also revealed that the battery of the underwater locator beacon on the plane's flight data recorder had expired more than a year before its disappearance. The battery on the plane's other so-called black box, the cockpit voice recorder, had been replaced as scheduled, and remained within its expiry date, the report said. CNN's Pamela Boykoff and Jethro Mullen contributed to this report. | Many experts believe the plane went down in the South Indian Ocean .

Generate a summary of the text | One of Britain’s most popular online bookmakers has been branded a ‘rip-off company’ after failing to honour odds offered during a crucial Chelsea match. Furious customers are demanding a bigger payout after placing wagers with Sky Bet that the London side would be knocked out of the Champions League by Paris Saint- Germain on Wednesday night. The firm’s mobile phone app was offering odds of 25-1 for a PSG win in extra time – but when it came to settling the bets, they paid out at just 9-2. It means the winnings for a £10 wager would have been cut from £260 to £55, including the return of the original stake. Scroll down for video .

Sky Bet claims the better odds were offered by ‘mistake’ – and its actions are in keeping with the small print in its terms and conditions. The longer odds were offered while Chelsea were leading 2-1 in extra time. But the French side equalised, despite being reduced to ten men, and won the two-legged clash on away goals. Punters who successfully bet on the result were told they would be paid less than they expected only after the match was over, with an email sent from the company blaming an ‘administration error’.

Emil Bolstad, 26, was expecting to win £150 plus his £6 stake back – but profited by only £27. He said: ‘It’s false advertising. I made the bet based on 25-1 odds, not 9-2. It was only when it came time to pay up that I noticed the odds had changed. ‘If they can do this because of an “error”, they can do it for all their odds. They could triple their odds and after people have bet say, “Oh no, it was a mistake” and not pay out.’ Labour MP Graham Jones called the move 'outrageous' Labour MP Graham Jones said: ‘This is outrageous. What would have happened if a rival firm had better odds but people chose Sky Bet because of the 25-1 odds? Customers would have lost out. You can’t change the price after the sale. ‘Sky Bet are clearly a rip-off company who are willing to take their customers to the cleaners and deceive them. This is typical of the gambling industry.’ Sky Bet’s managing director Richard Flint said the longer odds were ‘clearly’ wrong. He said: ‘Occasionally mistakes happen. In this case a wrong price was displayed for around three minutes, and a small number of customers bet at the incorrect odds. These odds were clearly wrong – we showed odds of 25-1 when the true odds and the odds displayed by all other bookmakers was 9-2. We settled at the correct odds.’ The terms and conditions for the Sky Bet app – which has been downloaded 700,000 times on to iPhones and iPads – reserve the right to ‘correct obvious errors and either settle bets at the correct odds or void bets’. | Sky Bet branded a 'rip-off' after failing to honour odds at a Chelsea match .
