Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Katarina Johnson-Thompson and Jessica Ennis-Hill’s burgeoning rivalry has all the ingredients to propel athletics into the spotlight in a similar manner to the Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett clashes which captivated sports fans in the 1980s. ‘They could have a rivalry like Steve and I had,’ said Lord Coe. ‘Head-to-heads are what get people excited. My kids got up at the weekend to watch Lewis Hamilton and Nico Rosberg. The more opportunities we have for athletes going head-to-head, the better. It’s what people talk about. ‘It’s actually not just the thought of Jess and Kat but you have Morgan Lake, too, coming through and I’m sure she will be equally good. It’s an extraordinary period to be entering.’ Katarina Johnson-Thompson won the World Indoor's in Prague, Czech Republic to become world No 1 . Jessica Ennis-Hill is the Olympic Champion and her future rivalry with Johnson-Thompson is 'exciting' Johnson-Thompson, 22, is the World’s No 1 hept-athlete and broke Ennis-Hill’s British record at the European Indoor Championships in Prague this month. Her blistering form — coupled with murmurs from the Ennis-Hill camp that her training for a comeback after the birth of son Reggie is going very well — has set the scene for a mouthwatering duel. The pair are understandably keen to play down talk of a rivalry, Johnson-Thompson out of reverence for the Olympic champion of whom she claims to be ‘in awe’ and Ennis-Hill because she is unsure what competitive shape she will be in. But those charged with promoting the sport are keen to make the most of the fact that Britain boasts the world’s two leading multi-eventers. They were expected to compete against each other for the first time since London 2012 — when Johnson-Thompson was 15th — at the Hypo-Meeting at the end of May, when the world’s leading heptathletes descend on the Austrian alpine town Gotzis. But Brendan Foster revealed to Sportsmail that he is trying to set up a head-to-head for earlier that month at the Great CityGames in Manchester. Lord Sebastian Coe wants the heptathletes to have an exciting duel like he did with Steve Ovett in the 1980s . ‘Kat has already agreed to do the 200 metres hurdles and long jump,’ said Foster. ‘Jess was invited to take part in the same events and soundings are favourable from her. ‘With heptathlon they might only battle it out twice a year but if sport in Britain is to benefit from the rivalry that is going to be inevitable between these two then they should compete against each other a couple more times head-to-head in one, two or three events. It’s in their interests and very much in the sport’s interest.’ Both Johnson-Thompson and Ennis-Hill, 29, have the World Championships in Beijing this summer as their primary aim and will probably be joined by 17-year-old Lake, who has surpassed anything either of them achieved at the same age. Johnson-Thompson and Ennis-Hill are friends off the track despite the well speculated competition . Lord Coe and Ovett were great rivals in the 80s and provided huge entertainment for the athletics world . With 12 years spanning their ages the three are unlikely ever to stand on the podium together but Lord Coe thinks that they can transform the image of a sport that increasingly seems to command the spotlight only when a new doping scandal emerges. ‘Those three can really help engage, particularly with young girls where the challenge is to get them involved in sport,’ he said. ‘Stars like Kat and Jess are important for the sport. They are from normal backgrounds, they haven’t come out of some kind of super-schools, they are like the kids next door and that is really important so that people can identify with them.’ The Morrisons Great Newham London Run takes place on Sunday, July 19 and gives you the chance to run on the track and cross the finish line in the Olympic Stadium. To take part, visit www.greatrun.org. 17-year-old Morgan Lake is highly regarded and could add serious competition to the title in the future . | Jessica Ennis-Hill and Katarina Johnson-Thompson could become an 'exciting' rivalry like Lord Sebastian Coe and Steve Ovett's in the 1980s .

How long did the Mughal empire last in India? | The Mughal Empire was an early-modern empire that controlled much of Indian subcontinent between the 16th and 19th centuries. For some two hundred years, the empire stretched from the outer fringes of the Indus river basin in the west, northern Afghanistan in the northwest, and Kashmir in the north, to the highlands of present-day Assam and Bangladesh in the east, and the uplands of the Deccan Plateau in South India.It included present day areas of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Bangladesh.
The Mughal empire is conventionally said to have been founded in 1526 by Babur, a warrior chieftain from what is today Uzbekistan, who employed aid from the neighboring Safavid and Ottoman empires, to defeat the Sultan of Delhi, Ibrahim Lodi, in the First Battle of Panipat, and to sweep down the plains of North India. The Mughal imperial structure, however, is sometimes dated to 1600, to the rule of Babur's grandson, Akbar. This imperial structure lasted until 1720, shortly after the death of the last major emperor, Aurangzeb, during whose reign the empire also achieved its maximum geographical extent. Reduced subsequently to the region in and around Old Delhi by 1760, the empire was formally dissolved by the British Raj after the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
Although the Mughal empire was created and sustained by military warfare, it did not vigorously suppress the cultures and peoples it came to rule; rather it equalized and placated them through new administrative practices and diverse ruling elites, leading to more efficient, centralised, and standardized rule. The base of the empire's collective wealth was agricultural taxes, instituted by the third Mughal emperor, Akbar. These taxes, which amounted to well over half the output of a peasant cultivator, were paid in the well-regulated silver currency, and caused peasants and artisans to enter larger markets.
The relative peace maintained by the empire during much of the 17th century was a factor in India's economic expansion. The burgeoning European presence in the Indian Ocean, and its increasing demand for Indian raw and finished products, created still greater wealth in the Mughal courts. There was more conspicuous consumption among the Mughal elite, resulting in greater patronage of painting, literary forms, textiles, and architecture, especially during the reign of Shah Jahan. Among the Mughal UNESCO World Heritage Sites in South Asia are: Agra Fort, Fatehpur Sikri, Red Fort, Humayun's Tomb, Lahore Fort, Shalamar Gardens, and the Taj Mahal, which is described as "the jewel of Muslim art in India, and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage." | The Mughal empire was founded by Babur in 1526 and was dissolved by the British in 1857, a span of 331 years. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Thieves who target wealthy department stores should get lighter sentences than if they steal from a corner shop, a senior Labour MP claims today. David Lammy, an ex-Government minister and barrister, said the likes of luxury goods shop Fortnum and Mason could more easily absorb the loss. The London mayoral candidate wants the law to be changed so the seriousness of shoplifting is decided by the impact on the victim – rather than the monetary value of the item stolen. But Tory London Mayor Boris Johnson today condemned the 'absurd' idea, insisting it was wrong to 'minimise shoplifting from swish, posh shops'. London Mayoral hopeful David Lammy says thieves who target wealthy department stores should get lighter sentences than if they steal from a corner shop . Experts also warned it would make shoplifters more likely to target supermarkets. Justice Secretary Chris Grayling said: ‘Labour’s justice policies are pretty thin on the ground at the best of times, but this latest contribution hardly seems a sensible one. ‘All forms of stealing are wrong – and suggesting that some people are better able to afford being the victim of it sends all the wrong sorts of messages.’ Mr Johnson branded Mr Lammy's comments ‘absurd’. He told LBC radio: 'If he is seriously saying that we should discount or minimise shoplifting from swish, posh shops then I think he is totally wrong because it is a crime wherever it is committed. 'It’s important to crack down on it. Tesco’s have got oodles of money – or actually slightly less than they used to – but it doesn’t mean it’s right to nick stuff from anywhere. 'That’s why we are cracking down on burglary and shoplifting.' Currently, the law decides what constitutes a ‘serious’ shoplifting offence on the basis of an item’s value. In a pamphlet for the Policy Exchange think-tank, Tottenham MP Mr Lammy says: ‘The impact of a £150 theft, for example, would be far greater on an independent corner shop than on Fortnum & Mason, yet this is not reflected under the current Act. ‘It is self-evident that the impact of a £200 theft to a large retailer is much smaller that it would be to a small, independent retailer. 'Many rightly argue that the seriousness of shoplifting should not be based on the value, but on the impact to the victim.’ Less impact: The London mayoral candidate believes thieves should receive more lenient punishments for stealing from stores such as Fortnum & Mason than from corner shops . Tory London Mayor Boris Johnson today condemned the 'absurd' idea, insisting it was wrong to 'minimise shoplifting from swish, posh shops'. The idea will prove hugely controversial as, for the first time, it would make the wealth of the victim a factor in deciding sentencing. Critics warn it is a slippery slope which might lead to other crimes – such as burglary – being added to the list. But Mr Lammy, whose constituency was hit by rioting in 2011, insists: ‘As with most types of property crime, the social costs of shoplifting are regressive – they hit poorest communities hardest. Mr Lammy's idea will prove hugely controversial as, for the first time, it would make the wealth of the victim a factor in deciding sentencing . ‘Small local businesses in more deprived areas, operating on small profit/loss margins, are least able to absorb the costs of theft and are obliged to pass these costs on to their customers through increased prices.’ David Green, a criminologist and director of the Civitas think-tank, said: ‘What any sensible legal system is doing is weighing up the degree of moral responsibility of the person who perpetrated the act. ‘It is completely wrong to punish someone more severely because they stole from a poor person than if they stole from a supermarket. ‘It would encourage people to steal from supermarkets rather than elsewhere because they would know they would get a lighter sentence.’ Mr Lammy’s Policy Exchange report, which will be launched at a speech in London today, warns the police and the courts are turning a blind eye to property crime. Some one in three burglaries and nine in ten shoplifting incidents are not reported to the police because the victims have no faith the case will be properly dealt with. John Munroe, of the British Retail Consortium, said: ‘Any suggestion a crime against a retailer or staff should be treated any differently because of the type of store, or the place it’s in, is absolutely nonsensical. ‘Retailers are at the heart of every community, whether that’s a high-end shop in Knightsbridge or one in David Lammy’s constituency of Tottenham. ‘Crimes against them are not victimless, they have a direct impact on the local community. Wherever the crime takes place, shoplifters should be persecuted as they normally would be.’ Shoplifting has been repeatedly downgraded in seriousness by the authorities over the past decade. The process began when Labour announced that, where the items stolen were worth less than £200, the offender could escape with an £80 on-the-spot fine instead of going to court. In many cases, the offenders simply don’t bother to pay. | David Lammy believes law should be changed to consider impact of theft . London mayoral candidate puts this ahead of monetary value of item stolen . Boris Johnson says it is 'absurd' to ever suggest it is OK to steal . Currently seriousness of shoplifting is decided on stolen product's value . |

Which countries has Tamil as one of their official languages? | Tamil (/ˈtɑːmɪl/; தமிழ் Tamiḻ [t̪amiɻ], pronunciation (help·info)) is a Dravidian language natively spoken by the Tamil people of South Asia. Tamil is an official language of the Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the sovereign nations of Sri Lanka and Singapore, and the Indian Union territory of Puducherry. Tamil is also spoken by significant minorities in the four other South Indian states of Kerala, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, and the Union Territory of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is also spoken by the Tamil diaspora found in many countries, including Malaysia, Myanmar, South Africa, United Kingdom, United States, Canada, Australia and Mauritius. Tamil is also natively spoken by Sri Lankan Moors. One of 22 scheduled languages in the Constitution of India, Tamil was the first to be classified as a classical language of India.
Tamil is one of the longest-surviving classical languages of India. A. K. Ramanujan described it as "the only language of contemporary India which is recognizably continuous with a classical past". The variety and quality of classical Tamil literature has led to it being described as "one of the great classical traditions and literatures of the world". Recorded Tamil literature has been documented for over 2000 years. The earliest period of Tamil literature, Sangam literature, is dated from c. 300 BC until AD 300. It has the oldest extant literature among Dravidian languages. The earliest epigraphic records found on rock edicts and 'hero stones' date from around the 3rd century BC. About 60,000 of the approximately 100,000 inscriptions found by the Archaeological Survey of India in India are in Tamil Nadu. Of them, most are in Tamil, with only about 5 percent in other languages. Tamil language inscriptions written in Brahmi script have been discovered in Sri Lanka and on trade goods in Thailand and Egypt. The two earliest manuscripts from India, acknowledged and registered by the UNESCO Memory of the World register in 1997 and 2005, were written in Tamil.
In 1578, Portuguese Christian missionaries published a Tamil prayer book in old Tamil script named Thambiran Vanakkam, thus making Tamil the first Indian language to be printed and published. The Tamil Lexicon, published by the University of Madras, was one of the earliest dictionaries published in Indian languages. According to a 2001 survey, there were 1,863 newspapers published in Tamil, of which 353 were dailies.
Classification
Main article: Dravidian languages
Tamil belongs to the southern branch of the Dravidian languages, a family of around 26 languages native to the Indian subcontinent. It is also classified as being part of a Tamil language family that, alongside Tamil proper, includes the languages of about 35 ethno-linguistic groups such as the Irula and Yerukula languages (see SIL Ethnologue).
The closest major relative of Tamil is Malayalam; the two began diverging around the 9th century AD. Although many of the differences between Tamil and Malayalam demonstrate a pre-historic split of the western dialect, the process of separation into a distinct language, Malayalam, was not completed until sometime in the 13th or 14th century.
History
Findings from Adichanallur in the Government Museum, Chennai
Keezhadi excavation site
Tamil, like other Dravidian languages, ultimately descends from the Proto-Dravidian language, which was most likely spoken around the third millennium BC, possibly in the region around the lower Godavari river basin. The material evidence suggests that the speakers of Proto-Dravidian were of the culture associated with the Neolithic complexes of South India.
Among Indian languages, Tamil has the most ancient non-Sanskritic Indian literature. Scholars categorise the attested history of the language into three periods: Old Tamil (600 BC–AD 700), Middle Tamil (700–1600) and Modern Tamil (1600–present). In November 2007, an excavation at Quseir-al-Qadim revealed Egyptian pottery dating back to first century BC with ancient Tamil Brahmi inscriptions. There are a number of apparent Tamil loanwords in Biblical Hebrew dating to before 500 BC, the oldest attestation of the language. John Guy states that Tamil was the lingua franca for early maritime traders from India.
In 2004, a number of skeletons were found buried in earthenware urns in Adichanallur. Some of these urns contained writing in Tamil Brahmi script, and some contained skeletons of Tamil origin.
Between 2017 and 2018, 5,820 artifacts have been found in Keezhadi. These sent to Beta Analytic in Miami, Florida for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) dating. One sample containing Tamil-Brahmi inscriptions was claimed to be dated to around 580 BC. | Tamil is one of the official languages in the following countries and territories. India, Srilanka, Singapore and Indian union territory of Puducherry. |
What happens during Holy week in Mexico? | Holy Week in Mexico is an important religious observance as well as important vacation period. It is preceded by several observances such as Lent and Carnival, as well as an observance of a day dedicated to the Virgin of the Sorrows, as well as a Mass marking the abandonment of Jesus by the disciples. Holy Week proper begins on Palm Sunday, with the palms used on this day often woven into intricate designs. In many places processions, Masses and other observances can happen all week, but are most common on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Holy Saturday and Easter Sunday, with just about every community marking the crucifixion of Jesus in some way on Good Friday. Holy Saturday is marked by the Burning of Judas, especially in the center and south of the country, with Easter Sunday usually marked by a Mass as well as the ringing of church bells. Mexico's Holy Week traditions are mostly based on those from Spain, brought over with the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, but observances have developed variations in different parts of the country due to the evangelization process in the colonial period and indigenous influences. Several locations have notable observances related to Holy Week including Iztapalapa in Mexico City, Taxco, San Miguel de Allende and San Luis Potosí. | Holy Week in Mexico is a major religious celebration. Holy week starts on Palm Sunday and the major celebrations start on Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, the day marking the crucifixion of Jesus, and Easter Sunday when Jesus resurrected and marked by ringing of church bells.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)When Chinese photographer Wang Wenlan first pressed the shutter on a borrowed Soviet camera in 1967, he was a teenager taking photos to kill time during Chairman Mao Zedong's Cultural Revolution. "I made rolls of film out of a motion-picture reel I found. The photographic paper was left over from printing Mao's portraits," Wang told CNN. Five decades later, Wang, 61, is one of the country's top photojournalists. His work is a rich chronicle of China's fast-changing society. "Still images are fragments, sections and points that connect the history," Wang says. "The whole process of China's reform over the past four decades -- whether going forward or stalling -- I've been determined to and have managed to document it all." One of his most famous series of photographs tracks China's relationship with the bicycle -- once a family's most precious asset but now fast vanishing from the streets. Photography was an outlet for Wang during the dark days of the Cultural Revolution, when China was convulsed by violent class struggle. His family were labeled "capitalist roaders" and unlike most other kids, he couldn't join the red guards. Despondent, 14-year-old Wang wandered around Beijing with friends in similar situations, snapping pictures and portraits to distract himself. Taking photos turned into more than a pastime in January 1976, when Premier Zhou Enlai died - beloved by many for his role in tempering the worst of Mao's excesses. Wang went to Tiananmen Square with his camera, capturing the unprompted outpouring of grief, both then, and again in April that year. "I was in deep grief," Wang said, "And I felt I should record the collective grief." He kept the film secret from the military, which then employed him as a photographer, transferring it to friends. The photos were published in the early 1980s. From then on, Wang saw that his camera was much more than a memory keeper. "I didn't get photojournalism until then," he said. "My biggest regret was not to capture anything meaningful during the Cultural Revolution period; it would've been a precious record." In the decades following, Wang has photographed not only major events -- from Tangshan Earthquake in 1976 and the overthrow of the Gang of Four, to the Beijing Olympic Games in 2008 -- but also intimate moments captured in China's changing countryside and growing cities. From April 3, Wang will have the first overseas exhibition of his work in the United States at the University of Iowa. Curator Judy Polumbaum -- a Chinese media scholar and former colleague of Wang -- said his work is a great window to examine contemporary China. "It reflects not only the many changes in Chinese society emerging over the past several decades but also the endurance of tradition, and the often striking and sometimes amusing clashes between tradition and change," she said. The clash between tradition and modernity is stark in the lead picture of the exhibit — an elderly farmer looks on as a groom carries his bride through the field and "the couple's Western wedding garb contrasting with this longstanding custom," she says. Wang has spent most of his career at the China Daily, the country's official English-language paper, which he joined in 1980 before its official launch. Back then, it broke the mold, using large photographs rather than the stamp-sized images used in most other Chinese newspapers at the time, he says. It was also unafraid to feature ordinary people on its pages, rather than national leaders -- something Wang found he excelled at. "Thanks to the China Daily, I stood out. It was an irreplaceable platform." Wang finds himself nostalgic for the 1980s, when ideas emerged and collided after the Cultural Revolution ended. "People thought nothing was impossible," he said. "We reflected on the past and were determined to move on. It was a special time; the air was filled with ideals, enthusiasm and all kinds of possibilities." Today's China is different, he said. "The country's goal has shifted toward a transition to a market economy since the 1990s," he said. "Individuals also have since switched their focus onto consumerism and incomes from ideals." Throughout his career, Wang's focus has changed a great deal as well. He said he used to focus on the technical and artistic aspects of photography, but now, with smart phones, he says anyone can be a photographer. To Wang, what matters is the perspective, he said, pointing at his head. Wang says he's felt obligated to observe and criticize through his lens over the years. "My job isn't to chant slogans." "I take photos first. It's great if they can be published; if not, they'll eventually be part of the history." Next year will mark Wang's 40th year in photojournalism. He is planning to have a photo exhibition and wants to call it "Unfinished." The name was inspired by the alternative title of Franz Schubert's Symphony No.8. "China is unfinished," said Wang, who is also fan and critic of classic music. "It's always a work in progress." | Wang Wenlan has been a photojournalist in China for almost four decades .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Premier League clubs are back in the black overall for the first time in 15 years thanks to a rise in TV income and a show of restraint in raising player wages. Figures released by analysts Deloitte show that the 20 clubs' annual figures combined show a pre-tax profit for the first time since 1998/99 - to the tune of £190m in 2013/14. Premier League revenues have risen 29 per cent from £2.5billion to £3.3billion due to the increase in the value of the TV deals, but wages have grown by just six per cent in the same period - £1.8billion to £1.9billion overall. Juan Mata scores an audacious goal against Liverpool at Old Trafford in the Premier League on Sunday . Dan Jones, partner in the Sports Business Group at Deloitte, said: 'Last season was the first in the Premier League's current three-year broadcast deal, which was a record-breaker when it was struck. 'Combined with strong commercial growth at the highest revenue generating clubs, this has boosted Premier League revenue 29 per cent to a record £3.3bn. However, despite this extra income clubs showed relative restraint in wage costs, which grew by 6 per cent to £1.9bn. 'In the first year of the preceding two broadcast deals, 56 per cent and 81 cent of respective revenue growth was absorbed by wage costs. This time it is less than 20 per cent.' The figures will provide good news for the 20 club chairmen who meet in London on Thursday - where they will also face a protest organised by the Football Supporters' Federation calling on the top flight to use the increase in TV income to cut ticket prices and funnel more money to the lower leagues and grass-roots. FA chairman Greg Dyke's wants to increase home-grown players in club squads from eight to 12 . The protestors are expected to be allowed to send in a letter to the chairmen, who are also expected to take a significant decision on the administration of the Premier League.

FA chairman Greg Dyke's plans to increase home-grown players in club squads from eight to 12 are not on the agenda but may be discussed.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The Premier League has never been richer, with the most recent combined annual income for the current 20 clubs soaring past £3billion for the first time. But a review of the books by the Mail on Sunday also shows club debts standing at more than £2.5 billion. Much of that poses no imminent danger to the clubs encumbered with it. Chelsea’s parent company owes Roman Abramovich £958million, for example, and he is showing no sign of demanding it back any time soon. Manchester United have debts of £342m as a result of the leveraged takeover almost 10 years ago by the Glazers but can service it comfortably, while Arsenal have ‘good debt’ of £241m, borrowed to fund their stadium. Taking their cash pile into consideration they had only £33m of net debt at the end of the last financial year. Roman Abramovich is owed an astonishing £958million by Chelsea's parent company . West Bromwich Albion, on the other hand, are nearly debt-free after being sensibly run over a long period . But a group of clubs including Aston Villa, Hull, Leicester, Newcastle, Queens Park Rangers and West Ham have each racked up debt of around £100m, much of which is owed to their owners. And in an era when the Premier League has never had so much cash it is bewildering so many clubs remain financially unstable and potentially in peril should they get relegated. The ‘boom-and-bust culture’ of unsustainable spending in an attempt to buy success underpins the phenomenon, according to the chief executive of one of the clubs most sensibly run over a long period, West Bromwich Albion. ‘The easiest thing to do when you reach the Premier League is over-reach,’ says Albion’s Mark Jenkins, whose club have just posted their latest set of profitable accounts and are close to being debt-free. Manchester United have debts of £342m as a result of the leveraged takeover almost 10 years ago . West Brom played Harry Redknapp's Portsmouth in the 2008 FA Cup - a team guilty of 'boom and bust' ‘Everyone puts you under enormous pressure to just chuck endless money at it,’ he adds. ‘You’ve got to be strong enough to withstand that pressure and the flak that comes with it if you don’t have the spending level. ‘You can get sucked into a boom-and-bust culture. That’s drained the pockets of many a star-struck or misguided owner.’ Examples of clubs that aimed for the stars but have ended up in administration or other self-inflicted fiscal turmoil are numerous. Leeds, QPR, Birmingham and Coventry spring readily to mind. But it is another example, Portsmouth, that most irks West Brom, who lost to a ‘financially doped’ Pompey in the 2008 FA Cup semi-finals. Portsmouth went on to win the trophy before a spectacular meltdown caused by the unsustainable spending undertaken to assemble and pay Harry Redknapp’s squad at that time. Portsmouth were flying high and eventually won the FA Cup, but are now mid-table in the fourth division . West Brom say they are still frustrated at losing to a team Portsmouth 'basically couldn't afford' ‘It still pinches us at West Brom that we lost our last FA Cup semi-final to a team the opposition basically couldn’t afford,’ said Jenkins. ‘Our fans went home miserable that night. Theirs were jubilant. I suspect they would want to swap places now though.’ Pompey are now mid-table in the fourth tier. West Brom are looking increasingly likely to be safe in the top flight for a fifth year running. Some of their fans may feel they should be taking more risks with bigger-name players but Jenkins insists stability is key. ‘We have shown — along with one or two other clubs — that it is possible to compete in the PL by building, building, building — sensibly, year on year,’ he says. ‘You’re adding to the squad, the club’s infrastructure, sticking to your business plan, trying to get right as many decisions as you can while knowing that some things will go wrong because that is the nature of football. ‘The key thing is if and when that happens you are not so over-stretched that it becomes a catastrophe.’ | CLICK HERE to find out about your club's financial health .

Generate a summary of the text | Manor had no intention of competing at the season-opening Australian Grand Prix and will pay a price for their failure to race, Formula One's ringmaster Bernie Ecclestone indicated on Monday. The struggling British-based team, who emerged from the remains of the failed Marussia outfit after going into administration and missing the last three races of 2014, failed to turn a wheel on the track in Melbourne. They missed all three practice sessions and Saturday qualifying, blaming software problems, which ruled them out of the race.

British driver Will Stevens has been named one of Manor's drivers this term, and Graeme Lowdon (right) However, they escaped punishment with stewards deciding to take no action after an enquiry decided the team had made 'all reasonable endeavours' to get their cars ready. 'We should have never ever, ever allowed Manor to do what they've done. It's our fault. I predicted this would happen,' Ecclestone said. 'They had no intention of racing in Australia. Zero. They couldn't have raced if someone had gone there with a machine gun and put it to their head. 'It was impossible. So they had no intention. We'll have to see now. And they will have to pay their way to get there and get out of there,' he added. Bernie Ecclestone has indicated that Manor will pay the price for their no-show at the season opener . Marussia, who were ninth overall last season thanks to a ninth-place finish by Frenchman Jules Bianchi in Monaco, won a race against time to get their cars through crash tests and onto the air charter for Australia. Ecclestone said there had been no charge for the freight because they were entitled to that providing they were competing. 'They are not competing so they have to pay for that,' he added. The team are in line for some £28million of revenues from last season but would have forfeited the right to that if they had not turned up to compete in Australia with cars that satisfied the regulations. 'We knew we had the possibility of unknown problems and we haven't had the benefit of sorting some of those problems out in pre-season testing,' sporting director Graeme Lowdon said. 'But equally we had to come here on the basis that we're racing so we brought all of our normal equipment. There's 28 tonnes of equipment to support these cars and all of the staff.

Generate a summary of the text | England manager Roy Hodgson fears he may have to play a vastly weakened side in next Tuesday's friendly against Italy, with more players set to drop out of his squad once the Euro 2016 qualifier against Lithuania has been played. Daniel Sturridge, Adam Lallana, Fraser Forster and Luke Shaw have all been forced to withdraw through injury already while Michael Carrick and Fabian Delph were unable to play a full part in training on Tuesday. And Hodgson expects to lose even more players in what is one of his most-significantly weakened England squads in recent memory. Roy Hodgson fears he could lose even more members of his England squad to injury in the coming days . The England manager already has a long list of absentees but could see more ahead of facing Italy . Hodgson oversaw training with the squad at St George's Park on Tuesday ahead of the two upcoming games . The Three Lions fly to Turin on Monday following Friday night's game against Lithuania at Wembley, but they could be missing even more players by the time they come to face the side they were beaten by in their World Cup opener last summer. 'Apart from all those players that I’ve suggested or have said aren’t here through injury I fear we’re going to lose a few more,' Hodgson said. 'There’s one or two that I know won’t be able to join us against Italy because of the current problems that they’re dealing with at the moment, so on this occasion in particular it won’t be as strong a team as I maybe would have liked to put out. 'In England, unfortunately you're always judged harshly and you're in the spotlight because everyone wants England to do well and believes we can do well. 'We’ll accept that but as far as I’m concerned it’s still the qualifiers that I put top of my list of priorities even though on paper Italy are a strong team to play than Lithuania.' Daniel Sturridge scored for Liverpool at the weekend but has been ruled out for England with a hip problem . Adam Lallana is another Liverpool and England player struggling with injury - he pulled out with groin trouble . Fraser Forster was in significant pain after picking up an injury for Southampton and also withdrew . Luke Shaw is another absentee for Hodgson, pulling out with an ankle problem ahead of the Lithuania game . Hodgson has been frustrated to see so many players absent from this selection but admits his luck with injuries of late may be coming back to bite him. 'We’ve been a bit unlucky on this occasion, it’s unusual,' he told talkSPORT. 'We’ve been very lucky most of the times we’ve got squads together that we haven’t lost a lot of players. This time to lose the two goalkeepers (Forster and Ben Foster) for example is an incredible blow. To lose people like (Jack) Wilshere, Lallana, (Alex) Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sturridge, all of whom you think are very important players in the year to come, to lose them all ahead of a qualifier that’s been a bit hard to take. 'But I still think theres enough good ones out there, so I still think we can get 11 good players on the field.' Michael Carrick was unable to take part in a full training session with the rest of the squad on Tuesday . Fabian Delph (bottom) has only just joined up with England after suffering from sickness of late . England have taken a maximum 12 points from their four games in qualifying group E so far, marking an impressive turnaround since the summer's embarrassing World Cup group stage exit which came without a win from games against Italy, Uruguay and Costa Rica. But Hodgson is not getting carried away with the momentum his side appear to be building up ahead of next summer's tournament in France that they look dead-certs to qualify for. 'You’re always pleased when you’re winning but I think we’re also trying to keep our feet on the ground,' he said. 'We've been benefiting from a group which isn't the toughest of the groups. There’s lots of very, very difficult games ahead and we realise also that everything we're doing at the moment is going to be truly judged in 2016.' | Roy Hodgson thinks England will lose more players to injury soon .

For Messi, it is most likely him tearing Barclays Premier League champions Manchester City apart, making them look like a League One team lost in Europe, nutmegging James Milner to leave him with grass stains on his backside. For Ronaldo, it may be him throwing his arm in the air in disdain, sulking back to the halfway line, protesting even though team-mate Gareth Bale had just put Real Madrid 1-0 up against Levante. Lionel Messi may well be priceless as the Barcelona star continues to find the best form of his career . Messi smiles during Barcelona's win over Manchester City that knocked them out of the Champions League . Cristiano Ronaldo cannot mask his frustration during Real Madrid's last match against Levante . It was a tough night for Ronaldo, who will need to improve fast for El Clasico against Messi's Barcelona . It is an unforgiving game for the two undisputed best players on the planet. Yet there is currently no debate to be had. Not even close. The headlines this week belong to Messi, even if he didn't break a Champions League record on Wednesday and his free-kicks served only to remind us he is human after all. There was more to his embarrassment of Manchester City than missing out on his ninth goal in the tournament. Much more. If it wasn't his menacing dribbles, it was his six shots against a magnificent Joe Hart. If it wasn't his assist for Ivan Rakitic's goal, it was his nutmeg on Milner that reduced Pep Guardiola – the architect of the Barcelona way and current Bayern Munich manager – to nothing more than another supporter in the stands. The one-twos, the drops of the shoulder, the shimmies. Pep has seen it all before – at the Nou Camp, at their Ciutat Esportiva Joan Gamper training ground, at almost every stadium he took Barcelona to – yet still it was enough for him to hide his face in disbelief. He wasn't alone. Barcelona's Messi taunts the City defence on the edge of the penalty area during another classy performance . Messi joins in the celebrations after Ivan Rakitic's opening goal with Luis Suarez (right) at the Nou Camp . Messi's heat map showed he was very active in the City half. Click here for more from our Match Zone service . Spanish paper Mundo Deportivo hailed the 'Fantastic' Messi after his 'masterclass' against Manchester City that included 'nutmegs, dribbles and an assist', while he also featured on the front cover of Sport . Should we have expected anything less? Messi has been untouchable this year. So much so it's almost unfair, and part of the credit can even go to – dare we say it? – his nemesis, Ronaldo. It was on January 12 when the Real Madrid man got the better of the Barca boy for the 2014 Ballon d'Or award, three weeks after Ronaldo returned to his hometown of Funchal on the island of Madeira to unveil a statue of himself. Before the Ballon d'Or ceremony, Ronaldo beat Messi in goals (33 to 25), goals per game (1.18 to 1), minutes per goal (70.94 to 87.24), shots (119 to 96), minutes-per-goal involvement (52.02 to 58.95) and they had 12 assists apiece in all competitions. Messi sat there in Zurich, to the left of Ronaldo, and gritted his teeth afterwards as he congratulated the man that won with 37.66 per cent of the vote for his third Ballon d'Or. Deservedly so, too. Yet Ronaldo's cry of 'Si' lit something under the four-time winner. Hell hath no fury like a Messi scorned, and he is arguably playing better than when he was crowned the world's best in 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Since the Ballon d'Or ceremony, there's been no contest. Messi beats Ronaldo on goals (18 to 8), goals per game (1.2 to 0.73), minutes per goal (75 to 122.75), shots (60 to 52), chances created (39 to 17), assists (9 to 3) and minutes-per-goal involvement (50 to 89.27). Messi has been outstanding ever since Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or on January 12 and the stats prove it . The frustration against Levante was written all over Ronaldo's face as he leaned against the frame of the goal . How the top of La Liga stands ahead of El Clasico . It's unrecognisable. A complete reversal. To the overall statistics in all competitions this season, it puts Messi ahead in the three major categories: goals (43 to 41), assists (21 to 15) and, comfortably, chances created (112 to 68). Down to the brass tacks of La Liga, too. There was a moment on November 22, when Ronaldo had 20 goals to Messi's seven. Yet today, Ronaldo has 30 to Messi's 32. All this has reopened the debate between Messi and his great rival that had a dissimilar experience in Europe last Tuesday. Ronaldo is congratulated by FIFA president Sepp Blatter during the Ballon d'Or ceremony in Zurich . Ronaldo cry of 'Si' lit something under four-time winner Messi, who has obliterated his form ever since . Ronaldo must up his game to stay in competition with Messi if he is to retain the Ballon d'Or next year . Ronaldo, for a man that had broken the Champions League goalscoring record, left the pitch shaking his head following a 4-3 defeat by Schalke at the Bernabeu. Those all-too-familiar white handkerchiefs were waved in his team's direction, and the Spanish whistles were piercing. 'I won't talk again until the end of the season,' Ronaldo announced afterwards, as frustrated as any, while a poll by Spanish newspaper AS found 32.2 per cent voted for Cristiano to be dropped. All is not right in Ronaldo's world, and he has been putting in additional work this week at the Ciudad Real Madrid training ground in Valdebebas. Messi, meanwhile, warmed up for El Clasico by putting on a masterclass for Manchester City at the Nou Camp.

Generate a summary of the text | Ronny Deila secured his first trophy triumph as Celtic manager – then cut short the celebrations by slapping a midnight curfew on his players. Goals from Kris Commons and substitute James Forrest – who also missed a late penalty – secured the Scottish League Cup against 10-man Dundee United. With the sides set to meet for a third time in 10 days in Wednesday’s Scottish Cup replay, however, the Parkhead coach warned his players to forget any notions of a Scott Brown-style blow-out. Ronny Deila hopes to become the third Celtic manager to achieve a domestic treble with The Bhoys . ‘We should enjoy the moment, but there is not going to be any nightlife,’ Deila said, reacting to the furore created by his skipper’s revelry in Edinburgh strip clubs four nights before the final. ‘The players will have a calm night. We will go back to the stadium and have a couple of beers and enjoy it, but it will be early to bed before midnight and be ready for training tomorrow at 1pm.’ Deila then joked: ‘For the staff it’s a little bit longer.’ Despite urging his players to be ‘24-hour athletes’ earlier this season the Norwegian played down the seriousness of the Brown incident, with pictures of the skipper slumped on a pavement plastered over the pages of newspapers. Scott Brown lifts the Scottish League Cup alongside Craig Gordon (right) after a difficult week in the headlines . Insisting there was no question or disciplinary action or dropping the 29-year-old, Deila added: ‘This case, for me, is not a big one. He was home at 10.30. It just looks like he was home at six in the morning. ‘He was drinking, he had a day off the day after. I have no rules about that. I said the players have to be fit – and Scott Brown is the fittest player we have. ‘But we have a reputation to take care of and the way the pictures appeared in the newspaper was nothing for him or me to be proud of. So we have to learn from this. ‘When you play for Celtic everybody chases you and you don’t get the personal time. ‘You have to always know what you are doing. Celtic manager Ronny Deila gets ready to lift the Scottish League Cup with his players on Sunday . ‘This is something everybody has to learn from – but, again, it was not a big issue for me.’ Asked if Brown had apologised, the Parkhead boss added: ‘He was not happy about it, but he didn’t do anything big or harmful for me. ‘It’s not a positive example for youngsters. But Broony has played 60 or 65 matches this year, he had a day off and wanted to be out with his friends. ‘As I said he was home at 10.30pm so it was not a big thing. We will see if he learns in the future but he made up for it today – he played a very good game.’ Keeper Craig Gordon gets the drinks flowing in the dressing room and sprays champagne ast his team-mates . Stefan Johansen was also quick to support his captain with the 29-year-old leading his club to the first leg of what Celtic hope will be a rare treble. And despite admitting it was ;not what you want to see’, Johansen insists his midfield colleague showed his class in Sunday’s 2-0 win. ‘I think Broonie showed what a captain he is today – a captain with a big letter at the front,’ Johansen said. ‘I thought he was absolutely fantastic. He’s 100 per cent in training every day so when that (night out picture) came up I wasn’t concerned, not even a little bit. Celtic manager Ronny Deila urges his side to remain focused as they continue to chase a domestic treble . ‘It’s not what you want to see happening, but it’s happened and you have to move on. But what Scott Brown did today was unbelievable. He showed today what a player he is.’ Deila meantime believes his side fully merited their step towards his target of a domestic treble and said: ‘It is a great feeling. ‘It is good to get a good start when you are the manager in a big club such as Celtic and this was the first trophy we could win. We did it and you get an appetite from this. ‘You want more and I am happy for the boys and proud of them. I think we put in a professional performance. You should really enjoy this moment.

It is so tough to do it, but it is possible and the dream is still alive. We have one trophy and we have to be back again on Wednesday if we are to win another cup trophy.’ Deila, meanwhile, insists he knows nothing of reports of a loan deal for Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard during the MLS off-season next January. Amid claims Celtic could help the former England captain keep fit for three months Deila said: ‘No, that’s a new thing to me. That’s a year away until that time and we have to take it day by day instead. But Gerrard is a hero. He is a Liverpool star and best player of all time. It’s a good name, but we will see if that’s possible in January. It’s something you know more about than me.’ The Celtic players celebrate on the podium with the QTS Scottish League Cup after beating Dundee United 2-0 . | Ronny Deila won his first trophy as Celtic manager on Sunday .

Ireland looked to be heading for a damaging defeat as the Group D encounter ticked into injury time with the Poles within touching distance of three more points to add to the 10 they had reaped from their opening four games. However, O'Neill's men summoned up a final push to rescue a point when substitute Shane Long prodded home a 91st-minute equaliser to make it 1-1 and ensure that the spoils were shared at the Aviva Stadium. Republic of Ireland boss Martin O'Neill praised the self-belief of his players after their draw with Poland . Ireland nicked a point after they looked to be heading for a damaging defeat in the Group D encounter . Asked what the message had been at half-time after a distinctly ordinary 45 minutes by his team, O'Neill said: 'Just keep self-belief, that's really important, really important. 'We felt we had not done ourselves justice in the first half. But you have got to keep self-belief, that's really important for the side. 'That was the message, 'Know that you are still in this game, that we can do better, much better, we can improve'. We'd given away a really soft goal from our viewpoint, it put us on the back foot for a while, but we definitely could do it. 'The players rose to the occasion, which was great. That self-belief was really important. Poland, it's a great point away from home as far as they're concerned, but we are still well in it.' Ireland created little of note before the break and found themselves trailing to Slawomir Peszko's 26th-minute opener after he capitalised on an error by makeshift full-back Robbie Brady.

Poland boss Adam Nawalka was disappointed to have seen two points wrenched from his grasp, but happy enough with a scoreline he believed was fair. He said: 'Overall, I believe the result was a fair scoreline. We played a very good first half and maybe lacked a bit of quality, but overall, we are content with a draw. 'Three points were really close, but one point is also a good result. It's no surprise that Ireland came back to score an equaliser because the other results show that they know how to play to the end and get a result in their favour at the end of the game.'

Kane's two goals fired Spurs to a 2-1 win over Rangers on Saturday and took his personal tally to 26 goals in all competitions this season. Austin and Kane are both jostling for a spot in Roy Hodgson's England squad, which is announced later this month, but the QPR striker had only praise for his compatriot.

'That brace makes it eight goals in six league games and when you're on that run you just want the games to keep coming. 'He's confident going into games, and he's confident when he's front of goal that he's going to score.

Charlie Austin is also in England contention after scoring 15 Premier League goals this season . Charlie Austin's shot flies past Spurs goalkeeper Hugo Lloris for a consolation goal on Saturday . A dip in form saw Austin score just once in seven matches at the start of the year but two goals in his last three games suggests the 25-year-old his rediscovering his rhythm. 'If you're a confident striker the ball will always fall to you in the right positions,' Austin said. 'If you're in form there's nothing stopping you picking the ball up 25 yards out and having a shot, whereas a striker low on confidence might play it out wide and be slightly more conservative. 'If you get the goal to kick-start the run, your self-belief keeps growing and you know you'll keep getting chances to score.' Austin is only five away from reaching the 20-goal mark in the league this season but the striker insists he has not set any targets. England manager Roy Hodgson monitored both Kane and Austin at Loftus Road on Saturday . 'I've never got into the habit of setting myself personal targets,' Austin added. 'If you set yourself a target you can give yourself something to achieve, but if you don't hit those aims you see yourself as a failure. 'For me that isn't a motivation.

What is SVM? | In machine learning, support vector machines (SVMs, also support vector networks) are supervised learning models with associated learning algorithms that analyze data for classification and regression analysis. Developed at AT&T Bell Laboratories by Vladimir Vapnik with colleagues (Boser et al., 1992, Guyon et al., 1993, Cortes and Vapnik, 1995, Vapnik et al., 1997[citation needed]) SVMs are one of the most robust prediction methods, being based on statistical learning frameworks or VC theory proposed by Vapnik (1982, 1995) and Chervonenkis (1974). Given a set of training examples, each marked as belonging to one of two categories, an SVM training algorithm builds a model that assigns new examples to one category or the other, making it a non-probabilistic binary linear classifier (although methods such as Platt scaling exist to use SVM in a probabilistic classification setting). SVM maps training examples to points in space so as to maximise the width of the gap between the two categories. New examples are then mapped into that same space and predicted to belong to a category based on which side of the gap they fall.
In addition to performing linear classification, SVMs can efficiently perform a non-linear classification using what is called the kernel trick, implicitly mapping their inputs into high-dimensional feature spaces.
The support vector clustering algorithm, created by Hava Siegelmann and Vladimir Vapnik, applies the statistics of support vectors, developed in the support vector machines algorithm, to categorize unlabeled data.[citation needed] These data sets require unsupervised learning approaches, which attempt to find natural clustering of the data to groups and, then, to map new data according to these clusters. | SVM stands for ""support vector machine". It is a machine learning model for supervised learning tasks. It was popular in the 1990s and early 2000s, before deep learning take off. The classic use case is binary classification, but its extension can also do multi-label classification as we as regression. Kernel methods greatly enhanced SVM's capability to perform non-linear machine learning tasks. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)A previously unknown species of catfish has been named for the wide-eyed, puckered-mouth "Star Wars" character it resembles. Its scientific name is Peckoltia greedoi, and it is known for its large, dark eyes, puckered lips and protruding bristles. But you can call him Greedo, in honor of the bounty hunter from "Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope." You might remember him from the cantina scene on Mos Eisley, where he was killed by Han Solo while attempting to collect on a debt for Jabba the Hutt. "I think it was the whole package that evoked Greedo, but particularly the eyes and the underslung mouth," said Jonathan Armbruster, biological sciences professor and curator of fishes at the Auburn University Museum of Natural History. Armbruster made the connection in September with colleagues David Werneke, Milton Tan and Chris Hamilton. But, like many things in academia, it took a while to make it official. The specimens were found in 1998 by researchers along the Gurupi River in Brazil. Armbruster obtained them in 2005 from a museum in Porto Alegre for a manuscript he was preparing on the genus, "thinking they were unusual." He designated them as another existing species, Peckoltia vittata, in a 2008 paper, "although I had not been comfortable with that designation." He examined them again in September and discovered they were different from Peckoltia vittata. After talking it over with his colleagues, they realized he was a clear ringer for Greedo. "As a 7-year-old kid, I watched "Star Wars" in the theater, and it was a life-changing experience for me," said Armbruster. "I became a lifelong fan, and I now share that with my son. Greedo has always been a personal favorite of mine." Greedo became the object of controversy when Lucasfilm re-released the original Star Wars trilogy in 1997. A reworked scene showed Greedo firing a shot at Solo before Solo fired back. In the 1977 release, Han is the only one to fire, prompting backlash from fans and giving rise to the phrase "Han Shot First." | Catfish with large, dark eyes and puckered lips named after bounty hunter Greedo .

Give me a history of Valve | Founding and Half-Life (1996–2003)
Gabe Newell (foreground) and Doug Lombardi (background), 2007
Valve was founded as Valve, LLC, in 1996 by former Microsoft employees Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington. Newell had spent the prior 13 years at Microsoft developing Windows, including the Windows 95 port of Doom. Wanting to move onto a new venture using their shared wealth, Newell and Harrington founded Valve, L.L.C. in Kirkland, Washington (about five miles from the Microsoft campus in Redmond), on August 24, 1996, Newell's wedding day. Alternative names considered by Newell and Harrington include Fruitfly Ensemble and Rhino Scar.
Valve's first game was Half-Life, a first-person shooter (FPS) with elements of horror. The development was aided by access to the Quake engine by id Software; Valve modified this engine into their GoldSrc engine. After struggling to find a publisher, Valve eventually signed with Sierra On-Line. Half-Life was released in November 1998 and was a critical and commercial success. With its realism, scripted sequences and seamless narrative, it had a lasting influence; according to IGN in 2014, the history of the FPS genre "breaks down pretty cleanly into pre-Half-Life and post-Half-Life eras". | Founding and Half-Life (1996–2003): Valve was founded as Valve, LLC, in 1996 by former Microsoft employees Gabe Newell and Mike Harrington in Kirkland, Washington.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)An ancient ring has shed new light on the ties between Vikings and the Islamic world, more than a century after its discovery. The finger ring found in a 9th century Swedish grave is inscribed with Arabic Kufic writing. The letters appear to read "AL_LLH, researchers say, which they interpret as meaning "for/to (the approval of) Allah." In a paper published in the journal Scanning, the researchers say it is the only ring with an Arabic inscription ever found at a Scandinavian archaeological site. The object was originally discovered during a late 19th century grave excavation in the town of Birka, on Björkö island, about 19 miles (30 kilometers) from Stockholm. Birka was a key trading center during the Viking age and made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1993. The ring is part of the Swedish History Museum's collection, originally cataloged as being made of gilded silver and violet amethyst, bearing the inscription "Allah." Researchers led by Stockholm University biophysicist Sebastian Wärmländer say they used "scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) to analyze the ring's composition and found that it was in fact made of silver alloy and the "amethyst" was colored glass. "For the stone, we must remember that even though colored glass might today be perceived as a 'fake' material of lower value, this was not necessarily so in the past," the team cautioned. "Even though glass production began around 5,000 years ago in the Levant it was still an exotic material in Viking Age Scandinavia." More significantly, the researchers found no trace of the gold that had been assumed to coat the ring and noted the presence of filing marks. "Together with the absence of gold on the metal surface ... the file marks clearly show that the previous description of the ring as gilded was mistaken: if the surface had been gilt and the gold layer had worn away, also the file markings would be gone. But the metal surface displays no wear, and as the original file marks are still in place, this ring has never been much used." The team, therefore, believes the ring was passed from an Arabic silversmith to the woman, with few or any other owners in between. While imported coins were also found in the grave -- many from Afghanistan -- they were "usually worn and torn ... from passing many hands along the established trade routes" researchers said. The owner of the ring was found wearing traditional Scandinavian clothing, but the researchers said it was impossible to determine her ethnicity due to the decomposed state of the bones in the grave. "It is not impossible that the woman herself, or someone close to her, might have visited -- or even originate from -- the Caliphate (which then stretched from Tunisia to the borders of India) or its surrounding regions," they said. While travel between the Islamic caliphate and the Viking world was recorded in ancient texts, tales of such journeys often included references to "giants and dragons" making it hard to tell fact from fiction, the researchers said. "The importance of the studied Birka ring is that it most eloquently corroborates ancient tales about direct contacts between Viking Age Scandinavia and the Islamic world. Such contacts must have facilitated exchange of goods, culture, ideas, and news much more efficiently than indirect trade involving several merchants in-between," they concluded. Modern relationship . This new evidence of ancient ties between the Vikings and the caliphate comes at a time when Sweden's relationship with the modern Islamic world seems to be problematic. The country's foreign minister, Margot Wallstrom, has recently come under scrutiny after criticizing human rights in Saudi Arabia. In January, she tweeted that the flogging of blogger Raif Badawi was "a cruel attempt to silence modern forms of expression," which needed to be stopped. Saudi Arabia blocked Wallstrom from giving a speech to the Arab League in Cairo on March 9, in which she planned to refer to human rights and the rights of women. Sweden subsequently announced that it would not renew its memorandum of understanding with Saudi Arabia on military cooperation -- and in turn Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates withdrew their ambassadors to Sweden. The United Arab Emirates said it had summoned Sweden's ambassador to protest "the abusive remarks by the Foreign Minister of Sweden, Margot Wallstrom, against Saudi Arabia." | Swedish researchers have used scanning to examine a ring found in a Viking grave .

The extent of the double world champion’s memory loss has been revealed in El Pais, a daily newspaper close to Alonso and his management. They reported that when asked who he was, Alonso replied: ‘I’m Fernando, I drive go-karts and I want to be a Formula One driver.’ Fernando Alonso waves as he leaves hospital but it has been reported he was confused when waking up . In 1995, Alonso was a 13-year-old pupil at Holy Guardian Angel School in his home town of Oviedo, northern Spain. When doctors pressed him further, Alonso, 33, could not remember his debut with Minardi in 2001 or his world championships for Renault in 2005 and 2006. The reports in Spain came 48 hours after Sportsmail revealed concerns that Alonso may have an underlying condition that caused him to crash a week last Sunday and which throw his future career into doubt. Alonso gives the thumbs up after his crash. McLaren have refused to comment on his medical state . Despite MRI and CT scans during three nights in hospital in Barcelona and further tests in Oviedo on Monday, there are no assurances from his doctors, management or McLaren team that he will return for the Malaysian Grand Prix on March 29. He has already been ruled out of the opening race in Melbourne on Sunday week. The concussion he suffered in Barcelona means he cannot be exposed to a second knock to the head, which doctors fear could kill him, regardless of the wider questions about his health. A McLaren spokesman said: ‘As regards Fernando’s medical situation, McLaren will not and indeed should not take the lead, since his medical care is being handled by the people best equipped for that task, namely his doctors. ‘So all we can say is that he is making good progress, and that we hope and expect he will soon be back to his brilliant best.’ Alonso is reported by El Pais to have said: 'I'm Fernando, I drive go karts and I want to be a Formula 1 driver' White screens are lifted as Alonso is treated and taken to an air ambulance following his crash . Medics act quickly to ensure Alonso is secure as he is wheeled closer to a waiting air ambulance . McLaren staff are not necessarily close to Alonso, after he left the team in 2007 following a season of infighting, and may not even know their driver’s condition as well as do some reporters in Spain do. Confusion has, therefore, surrounded the situation, not least after McLaren chairman Ron Dennis said that Alonso had not been concussed, a misunderstanding that was corrected by the team’s official statements. David Coulthard, a former McLaren driver, said: ‘My experience of getting knocked out or having big shunts is that you remember the bit before, the bit after but not the bit in the middle. When you get knocked out it does not come as a warning; it just happens. The McLaren MP4-30 of Alonso is recovered back to the pits on the back of a truck following the crash . ‘The brain is a fairly complex bit of kit, so if they are not able to see any brain injury of any sort it seems a bit medically confusing for me, so there is probably more from the story to come out over time. It is unusual for drivers to miss a grand prix over such a thing.’ Whatever the cause, Alonso’s predicament is a blow for McLaren, whose form in testing suggested they are struggling very badly indeed for reliability and speed. They signed him on a £28million-a-year contract at the start of their new relationship with Honda, yet will replace him with Kevin Magnussen, their 22-year-old Danish reserve driver, at Melbourne’s Albert Park. A helicopter was used to transport Alonso from the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya to hospital on February 22 . Gary Hartstein, Formula One’s former chief doctor, has speculated that the most probable reason Alonso might have passed out would be arrhythmia — an irregular heartbeat. If so, he would require a pacemaker. Another possibility, said Hartstein, would be carotid sinus hypersensitivity, whereby pressure on the main artery to the brain causes the heart rate to drop, blood pressure to fall and the sufferer to blackout. Hartstein told the BBC that this was ‘surprisingly common’, and not totally unexpected at a fast corner in a Formula One car, such as Turn Three at Barcelona, where Alonso was travelling at 134mph. Alonso was flown away by helicopter following the crash at the Circuit de Catalunya Barcelona . But, then again, he was braking and changing down gears as the accident unfolded, so how is this consistent with his having passed out? The questions nag. Alonso will need the FIA’s medical team to give him clearance to race in Malaysia, as well as the go-ahead from his own doctors. He has been outwardly relaxed about missing the Melbourne race, saying from his father’s house in Oviedo, where he is recovering: ‘A second impact in less than 21 days (the stipulated period of rest) — NO.’ Alonso may have been less sanguine if McLaren were quicker, but both team and man will be mightily relieved when, he is back, even if it is towards the back of the grid for now.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Perth, Australia (CNN)In the Swan Valley on the outskirts of Perth, a petite, blonde woman opens the front door. Dressed in skinny jeans, a gray t-shirt and black heels, Danica Weeks welcomes us inside her family home. Her warm smile and sparkly green eyes briefly disguise the deep-seated grief and sadness that constantly envelops her. The mother of two young boys can't move on. Her life is stuck on March 7, 2014, when she kissed her husband Paul goodbye at Perth International Airport. He was heading to Mongolia, where he would begin work as a mechanical engineer at one of the mines. It was a big job with enormous opportunity that could set up his young family. Unable to wear jewelry at the work site, he gave Danica his wedding band saying that if anything was to happen to him, she should give the ring to the first son that marries. Wearing it on a simple chain around her neck, she touches it as she speaks. "I'm so glad that happened, that I've got this for the boys," she said. "And for me, because I may never get anything. It may be the only piece of him that I have that is so close to us." Paul Weeks, 39, left Perth that day and flew to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, for his flight on to Beijing. Just after midnight on March 8, he boarded Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. Weeks had no idea about the plane's disappearance until she got a call from a news reporter asking if her husband was on board the missing Boeing 777. "My life stopped that day, so that's what I remember. I'm purely now just existing. People say you're coping. I wouldn't call it coping; it's existing." She has yet to tell her eldest son Lincoln, 4, that his father whom he adored will never come home. She can't make sense of it herself. How is a 4-year-old going to understand? She tells him Daddy is working in Mongolia -- the truth is just too painful. "You create your own scenarios in your head and you can't bear to think that someone -- your best friend, amazing husband, the father of my children -- went through any of that. I don't want that for him. It's the not knowing that really destroys you." The past 12 months have been a roller coaster of emotions for Weeks. Initially she thought the plane had crashed but when no debris appeared she clung on to hope. When the "pings" were discovered and authorities believed they would find the black boxes within days, she was told to prepare for her husband's memorial service. When that turned out to be wrong, her heart sank once again. Now there are days when her grief paralyzes her and she can't get out of bed. There are other days when she affords herself the small luxury of daydreaming and imagines him walking in the front door. "When I'm alone and I think 'what if he comes back?' I see our wedding pictures and I think if he was to come back it would be amazing (for me) and for the kids. Jack has grown so much -- he was 11 months when Paul left. We're coming up to his second birthday. "We've gone through all the 12 months of special days and I look at Jack and he's the spitting image of Paul. He would be blown away by how much he's grown. He should be here seeing all of that and the reason we don't know why is so painful. "I can't even explain the pain -- it's unbearable." We discuss the current search underway in the southern Indian Ocean more than 1,000 miles from where we are sitting in her home. Weeks looks deflated -- she's physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted. "They're very optimistic about this latest search. I can't share in that anymore. I've thrown my emotions and hopes into so many other searches. It's too much for me now. I won't come back. Half of my soul was on that plane with Paul and now nearly a year on ... I don't think I will ever find myself again." Week's eyes well up with tears as she talks about her husband whom she met at the Munich Beer Festival 15 years ago. Since then, they had been inseparable -- until now. Her greatest fear is if nothing is found in the 60,000 square kilometer priority search area -- due to be completed by May - the authorities will call off the search operation. No country has said this but it doesn't stop Danica from thinking it. "You know, that's so unfair -- where does that leave us? We can't move on beyond MH370. They may be able to but they don't come home to an empty house and 2 young children that should have their father here. They (the Malaysians) are legally and morally committed to bringing them all home and that's what they should do". When asked what she'll be doing on March 8 -- one year since MH370 disappeared and since she last saw Paul -- tears stream down her face. "Probably crying a lot. I never thought we'd reach a year and not know. You go through every anniversary, Lincoln's birthday, Paul's birthday, Christmas. You think we'll know by then and it's a year on." While her loss and pain is palpable, there is an incredible strength within Weeks. She has to remain strong, she says, for the sake of her boys. "I will keep searching. I will never stop searching for him. He gave everything to us. He is amazing. I know that if the shoe was on the other foot, he wouldn't stop looking for me. "And I will never stop looking for him either." | Danica Weeks is raising her two young sons without her husband, who was aboard MH370 .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)A New York man says his smartphone blew up in his pocket and that he wound up in a hospital. Erik Johnson of Lindenhurst says his iPhone 5C spontaneously erupted in extreme heat while it was in his pants pocket, giving him second- and third-degree burnson his leg the size of a football. He was headed to a wake for his cousin in New Jersey on February 14, Johnson said, and he dropped his car keys. "When I went to bend over, I heard a pop," he told CNN. "I heard a sizzling, and I ended up ripping my pants off to stop it from burning me." Johnson said he didn't know what was causing the pain at first and there was no warning -- just an extreme burn and a lot of pain. In a panic, he quickly started ripping at his pants as the phone began to melt the edges of his pocket shut, he said. "I was trying to get it out of my pocket," he said. "It started burning right through my pants. It was burning my leg, and I had to get my pants off somehow." Johnson's brother, who was with him at the time, decided driving him to the hospital would be faster than dialing 911, Johnson said. They drove to the Bayonne Medical Center in New Jersey. After being evaluated in the emergency room, Johnson was taken by ambulance to the Burn Center at Staten Island University Hospital. The burn center confirmed to CNN that he spent 10 days there receiving treatment. "I still can't believe it," Johnson said. "I've never dealt with anything like this before." He works as an operating engineer in New York City, maintaining escalators, cranes and forklifts. He said now he is at home with family in Lindenhurst, and a nurse comes in every day to change his bandage. In the meantime, he said, he hasn't even thought about buying a new phone. Mike Della, a personal injury lawyer on Long Island who is representing Johnson, says despite two phone calls and a letter, Apple had not yet responded to his queries about why his client's phone suddenly exploded in heat. CNN reached out to Apple, and the company stated that it is looking into the incident. Johnson purchased the phone last year and had not been using a battery case or third-party charger, Della said. "First and foremost, we have to find out how this happened and prevent it from happening ever again," Della told CNN. "That's the whole goal here. Is the product safe?" Della said because of this case, he now is quick to take extra precautions with his phone. "Now, every single time I have my iPhone, instead of putting it in my pocket, I put it in the seat next to me because of this case," he said. "My wife does the same thing, and so does everyone else at the (law) firm. It's a little scary."

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)There are superyachts. And then there are superyachts for "ladies." Introducing La Belle, the 80-meter gold and crystal-encrusted superyacht described as a floating "boudoir for women," by its female designer. "There will not be any boy's toys -- such as pool tables or beer kegs -- on board," Italian designer, Lidia Bersani, told CNN. "But there will be a fantastic spa with a beauty center, large mirrors, and huge wardrobes," she said of the concept yacht, which she claims is the first designed specifically for women. Bersani came up with plans for the five-deck La Belle because "I felt, as a lady, it was my duty to design something especially for us, where we can feel a woman's touch. "There will only be off-white, ivory, and cream colors. All surrounded by furs, silk, gold, pearls, crystals, live music, aromatics and flowers," she added. Not that all women are on board with Bersani's "warm and romantic" bejeweled boat. "I don't know any woman who lives in a dream world where these things are desirable," said Maria Jaschok, director of the International Gender Studies Centre at Oxford University. "It feels somehow remote, like some sort of little girlish dream, traveling in that eternal pink cloud." Bersani, who also designs apartment interiors, defended the hyper-feminine yacht, saying: "I don't know a single woman who does not like flowers and is not dreaming of diamonds. "If you get married, the most amazing day in your life, you want to be dressed in an amazing white long dress, looking like a princess, with a gold diamond ring on your finger, around romantic music, happy people, and plenty of flowers." In the ultra-elite world of superyachts, female owners are practically unheard of, but that doesn't mean women don't have a huge influence over the spending of their billionaire partners. "In terms of superyacht owners, I'd say they were upwards of 90% male," said Rory Trahair, of superyacht brokers Edmiston. "That said, superyachts on the whole are designed for the preferences of a couple -- for their interests, design, style, and taste. "And while the person chartering a superyacht is often male, the person in charge of the holiday is often his wife or girlfriend." Male or female, Trahair envisioned few clients looking to buy a "radical, gold yacht" such as Bersani's. "It could be regarded as patronizing -- a bit like Barbie, where the assumption is that everything has to be pink," said Trahair. Earlier this year, plans were revealed for world's biggest private boat -- the $1 billion, 222 meter Triple Deuce. And they're only going to become more lavish, according to Trahair. "We've launched yachts in the last few years that have multiple pools, helipads, a squash court. There are few things now a yacht can't have," he said. "Whereas a jacuzzi was a luxury in the early 2000s, now if you've got just one, it's rather frowned upon. You need to have a few and you need to have an infinity plunge pool that doubles as a helipad." Whether there will also be a market for gender-specific vessels, remains to be seen.

What is Cricket in sports? | Cricket is a bat-and-ball game played between two teams of eleven players on a field at the centre of which is a 22-yard (20-metre) pitch with a wicket at each end, each comprising two bails balanced on three stumps. The batting side scores runs by striking the ball bowled at one of the wickets with the bat and then running between the wickets, while the bowling and fielding side tries to prevent this (by preventing the ball from leaving the field, and getting the ball to either wicket) and dismiss each batter (so they are "out"). Means of dismissal include being bowled, when the ball hits the stumps and dislodges the bails, and by the fielding side either catching the ball after it is hit by the bat, but before it hits the ground, or hitting a wicket with the ball before a batter can cross the crease in front of the wicket. When ten batters have been dismissed, the innings ends and the teams swap roles. The game is adjudicated by two umpires, aided by a third umpire and match referee in international matches. They communicate with two off-field scorers who record the match's statistical information.
Forms of cricket range from Twenty20, with each team batting for a single innings of 20 overs (each "over" being a set of 6 fair opportunities for the batting team to score) and the game generally lasting three hours, to Test matches played over five days. Traditionally cricketers play in all-white kit, but in limited overs cricket they wear club or team colours. In addition to the basic kit, some players wear protective gear to prevent injury caused by the ball, which is a hard, solid spheroid made of compressed leather with a slightly raised sewn seam enclosing a cork core layered with tightly wound string. | Cricket is highly popular game that's originated in south-eastern counties of England and now prominent sport in a number of countries in particular south asian countries like India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Lewis Hamilton has conquered the world of Formula One but becoming a global superstar is a far bumpier ride. Sporting ability has been transformed into lasting celebrity by footballers like Pele and David Beckham and NBA star Michael Jordan. At the age of 30 -- and with the fastest car in the world at his fingertips -- Hamilton is at the peak of his powers. During Sunday's season-opening Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne, millions of hardcore Hamilton fans will bite their fingernails and hold their breath when their hero returns to the track in his Mercedes racing car. But will the Briton's quest for a third world title in 2015 even register with the average Joe? Half a billion TV viewers watch F1 across the year, a figure which pales in comparison with the 4.7 billion football fans who watch the English Premier League over the course of a season. Jon Stainer, managing director of leading sport and entertainment market research company Repucom, argues that Hamilton, however, is already gaining wider recognition. "On a global scale Lewis already sits in the top half of all celebrities across sport, arts and music," he told CNN. Repucom monitors celebrity trends by a monthly survey of the general public where 5,000 famous faces are rated according to certain parameters. Those who rank in their study of the world's top-20 faces includes actors Angelina Jolie and Leonardo DiCaprio, singers Madonna and Jennifer Lopez, footballer Beckham and Microsoft co-founder and philanthropist Bill Gates. "We look at celebrity awareness and other metrics like likeability, whether they are seen as trendsetters, the level of trust people place in them and whether people aspire to have a life like that celebrity. "We are starting to see Lewis go beyond the traditional Formula One audience into the mainstream audience. "Some of that is spurred on by his on-off relationship with [former girlfriend] Nicole Scherzinger. Those stories put him in the headlines beyond the back pages." Hamilton split from popstar and TV personality Scherzinger for the fourth time in February after a seesawing seven-year relationship. He may no longer be one half of motorsport's "Posh And Becks" but he's not been shy of socializing with stars from other spheres. Just 10 days before the Australian GP, Hamilton was partying at Paris Fashion Week with musician and producer Kanye West and his wife Kim Kardashian. Mixing with celebrity friends has raised Hamilton's profile, and for some of his fans that is part of his appeal, but there is also a danger of alienating his petrolhead devotees. The famous friends, bright red private jet -- complete with traveling pampered pooches Roscoe and Coco -- and forays into song writing might be at odds with the perceived image of a feisty F1 world champion. Marketing expert Steve Martin, who worked with Hamilton in his role as CEO of M&C Saatchi Sport and Entertainment, warned the driver's lifestyle could be "a bit showy." "I'm not sure if in any walk of life people like showy people," he told CNN. "And so why should that be different on the international stage in a sporting context?" Christopher Thomas, a Hamilton super-fan from New York, says: "Hanging out with top celebrities isn't a problem as long as it doesn't interfere with his ability to race. "As long as he shows up to the race and does what he's supposed to, everything is fine." Hamilton has often split opinion with his emotional approach to racing. Unlike his seemingly unflappable Mercedes teammate Nico Rosberg, the Briton races with his heart on his sleeve. For some, that passionate impulse is exactly what draws them to him. "Lewis is cautious and aggressive all at the same time," says Brazilian fan Melissa, who shows her support for the Mercedes driver by referring to herself as Mel "Hamilton." "Sometimes I think I will have a heart attack watching him! "He does not live by certain standards. He is not hiding. He is authentic." Thomas agrees: "He's so popular because you see him show his emotions. He stays true to himself." Hamilton's fiery responses have helped make him a fearless, instinctive driver who gives no ground on track. Consider the mental resolve required to win both his world titles at the final race of the season -- or, in the case of his 2008 triumph with McLaren in Brazil, at the very last corner. But then there have been the meltdowns, which reached their nadir in a tumultuous 2011 season when Hamilton had an ongoing spat with Ferrari driver Felipe Massa -- at one point calling his driving skills "frickin' ridiculous" -- and controversially criticized the race stewards in Monaco. "A lot of commentators diss Lewis for being open about his emotional life," says Tom Roope, whose company The Rumpus Room creates Hamilton's digital media. "There is that Marmite-ness -- you either love him or hate him. "But I think people like the fact that he's not running around trying to be perfect." His hot-blooded impulses do allow a fleeting glimpse into the real Hamilton. Following Hamilton at grands prix over the last six years, he's not a very visible driver compared to others who can be seen chatting with team members and guests inside the motorhomes. He is courteous and friendly in media briefings, where he will often chew on a handful of sweets, but it is hard to get beyond the façade of the PR-trained F1 driver and understand what he is really like. Marketing and PR expert Martin believes Hamilton could improve his global popularity by opening up a little more. "If I were to do one or two things, I'd like to make him more natural, to make him relax and be more comfortable in his own skin," advised Martin, whose clients include footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, another athlete who has successfully transcended his sport. "When he talks to use a language that isn't so robotic. Humility and having a common touch is a very big skill that people forget. "Beckham is the best example, he can show humility, he's down to earth, he's a smiler and he takes the highs and lows in his career very well. "He has that continuous appeal that is so enduring, and you can take a lot of lessons from that." If Hamilton is to extend his celebrity beyond the sporting sphere, he could do well to follow Beckham's example in another area too -- philanthropy. The former Manchester United, Real Madrid and LA Galaxy star retired two years ago but he has been an ambassador for children's charity Unicef for the last decade. He and his popstar-turned-fashion-designer wife Victoria have their own charitable trust. When Beckham signed for French club Paris Saint-Germain in 2013 he also donated his multi-million dollar wages to charity. Hamilton has also contributed to Unicef's campaigns and during a break last season he traveled to Haiti to see first hand the charity's work there with malnourished children. "Being involved in charity and community work is a way Lewis can develop his appeal beyond F1 and the sport audience," suggests Stainer. "That's how Beckham managed to mold and transform his character and marketability towards the end of his playing career. "Lewis can also touch the lives of more people but that is a difficult thing to do when you're at the peak of your career." Martin agrees that having a strategy for his career beyond sport is absolutely essential to maintaining a high profile. "We've worked with Lewis for a number of years and he's been brilliant but it's not about living in the moment, it's about having a plan that evolves," he added. "How does he make sure his appeal is so enduring that it lasts beyond his Formula One career?" Hamilton still has plenty of racing left in the tank. Ferrari's Kimi Raikkonen is the oldest driver on the 2015 grid and the Finn will turn 36 in October. For now, at least, there is one relatively easy way for Hamilton, allied with Mercedes' powerful car, to crank up his kudos. "Win more championships," says Thomas. "And win more races in the U.S. and Canada. "F1 is still growing in the U.S. and when it comes to celebrity status the U.S. has a big deal to do with what happens globally. "If you're a celebrity in the U.S. then it transcends outwards into other countries." Could winning a third world title with Mercedes push Hamilton into the ranks of F1's greatest drivers and deeper into the public consciousness? "He's the favorite in 2015 because the Mercedes gap to the others is so big that even if it's reduced, it's probably still going to be there," Hamilton's biographer Mark Hughes told CNN over the winter. "Lewis is in a position to make it a great career and if he keeps winning titles he will be recognized as one of the giants." Hamilton has already raced his way to riches from rags, becoming F1's first black star, a winner of 33 grands prix and two world titles, against a backdrop of racing rivalry and a rocky celebrity romance. On Sunday, another chapter will be written in the double world champion's rollercoaster story when the 2015 season fires up around Melbourne's Albert Park. So, what next? "Lewis is a bit like a soap opera," says Roope. "It's amazing how much drama there is around him." "You need to create a story around somebody to have ongoing appeal," says Martin. "What makes great sports people, the ones that fans like over time, are those who come back from tremendous highs and lows -- that's a great story." | Lewis Hamilton is starting to reach beyond the traditional Formula One audience . The double world champion could expand his brand through more charity work . A third world title with Mercedes in 2015 would also help him become an F1 great . |

The Utah Department of Public Safety imposed the discipline in December on Rob Wilkinson, a Utah Highway Patrol sergeant, and Justin Hansen, a State Bureau of Investigation agent. The department released its discipline records last week after receiving a request to obtain them by The Salt Lake Tribune. Wilkinson, who received a three-day suspension, and Hansen, who received a one-day suspension, were at the Big Shot Ranch near Grantsville in June when British bikini models posed for photos and were videotaped firing guns for a calendar called 'Hot Shots.' The two men were seen wearing camouflage uniforms identifying them as police in a promotional video filmed at Camp Williams in May and posted on YouTube in October. Scroll down for video .

Neither Wilkinson nor Hansen sought their superiors' permission to participate, and superiors learned of the activity only when they saw video clips played by the news media in Utah, according to the records. The men were disciplined for conduct that brings discredit to an officer or agency, and for wearing their uniform during a promotion for a product — both rules violations, the records show.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)When Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs came out in October 2011 -- less than three weeks after Jobs' death -- it crystallized many popularly held perceptions of the Apple co-founder. Yes, Jobs was brilliant. And yes, Jobs also could be a bastard. Isaacson's book contained numerous examples of Jobs' cruel behavior, such as verbally abusing employees whose work didn't meet his exacting standards. Now a new book is presenting a kinder, gentler portrait of the mercurial tech exec. "Becoming Steve Jobs," by Brent Schlender and Rick Tetzeli, seeks to humanize Jobs through interviews with those who knew him in the latter, wildly successful phases of his career, when some of his rough edges had softened. The book, which went on sale Tuesday, has created a strange irony. Unlike Isaacson's book, it's an unauthorized bio, one that was not given Jobs' blessing before he died. And yet Apple, mindful of Jobs' legacy, has clearly endorsed this new vision of their former CEO over the Isaacson version. "I thought the Isaacson book did him a tremendous disservice. It was just a rehash of a bunch of stuff that had already been written, and focused on small parts of his personality," says current Apple CEO Tim Cook in the new book. "You get the feeling that (Steve's) a greedy, selfish egomaniac. It didn't capture the person. The person I read about there is somebody I would never have wanted to work with over all this time. Life is too short." Other Apple execs also have heaped praise on "Becoming Steve Jobs" while criticizing Isaacson's bestseller. "Best portrayal is about to be released - Becoming Steve Jobs (book). Well done and first to get it right," tweeted Eddy Cue, Apple's chief of software, last week. And Jony Ive, Apple's head of design, said in a New Yorker profile last month, "My regard (for Isaacson's book) couldn't be any lower." Isaacson, for his part, told the New York Times recently that he tried to present a balanced view of Jobs: "My book is very favorable and honest, with no anonymous slings," he said. Although Jobs' life and career have been well chronicled, the new book contains some fresh tidbits: . -- In 2009, when Jobs was dying of cancer, Cook offered his boss a piece of his liver but Jobs refused, saying, "No, I'll never let you do that." -- What was likely the last movie Jobs watched before his death was an odd choice: "Remember the Titans," the sentimental Disney drama about a racially integrated high school football team in 1971. "I was so surprised he wanted to watch that movie," Cook recalled. "I was like, 'Are you sure?' Steve was not interested in sports at all." -- And Jobs' famous commencement speech at Stanford University in 2005 almost got derailed before it started. A police officer turned him and his family away from the campus, saying the parking lot was full, and expressed skepticism that the scruffy Jobs, wearing his usual jeans and black T-shirt, was really the event's keynote speaker. Raves from Apple aside, early reviews of "Becoming Steve Jobs" have been mixed. "'Becoming Steve Jobs' offers a more rounded portrait of the man not only because it doesn't lean as heavily on its interviews or stretch for historical weight like Isaacson's book, but because it brings in Schlender's personal interactions with the Apple co-founder," wrote Mic Wright for The Next Web. "But the closeness of Schlender's connection with Jobs is also problematic," added Wright, saying "... there's a sense of seeking to explain away bad behavior." "While the book never attempts to portray Jobs as a saint, it provides ample evidence to suggest that the brash, perpetually impatient young millionaire learned how to control his worst tendencies, eventually becoming a loving father and respected mentor," wrote Jeremy Horwitz in 9 to 5 Mac. "Like other good books that have been written about Jobs, it doesn't provide the definitive story of his life, but instead adds some new and interesting details that are worth considering alongside what was previously known." | New book, "Becoming Steve Jobs," offers a gentler vision of the mercurial CEO .

What are the tennis ball made of? | Tennis balls were originally made of cloth strips stitched together with thread and stuffed with feathers. Modern tennis balls are made of hollow vulcanized rubber with a felt coating. Traditionally white, the predominant colour was gradually changed to optic yellow in the latter part of the 20th century to allow for improved visibility. Tennis balls must conform to certain criteria for size, weight, deformation, and bounce to be approved for regulation play. The International Tennis Federation (ITF) defines the official diameter as 65.41–68.58 mm (2.575–2.700 in). Balls must weigh between 56.0 and 59.4 g (1.98 and 2.10 oz). | Nowadays most tennis balls are made of hollow vulcanized rubber with a felt coating. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | London (CNN)London teenager Brusthom Ziamani only converted to Islam in April last year. But by August he was arrested on suspicion of plotting to kill a soldier, police officer or government official, with a 12-inch knife and a hammer found in his backpack. Ziamani was convicted in February of "engaging in conduct in preparation of terrorist acts" and sentenced Friday at the Old Bailey to 22 years in prison. It's a case with chilling echoes of the shocking murder by two Islamist extremists of soldier Lee Rigby, mowed down and hacked to death with a machete on a street in Woolwich, in southeast London, in May 2013. On the morning of his arrest, Ziamani had told his former girlfriend he intended to attack and kill soldiers. He also showed her the long-bladed knife and the hammer in his bag. Police who had searched his home two months previously had found a handwritten letter in which he glorified the murder of Rigby, and stated that "we should do a 9/11, 7/7 and a Woolwich all in one day." Police said Ziamani, who was unemployed, had come under the influence of a banned London-based terrorist organization "that it is believed played a major role in influencing and shaping his radical views." That organization is Al Muhajiroun, also known as ALM. Handing down the 22-year sentence, Judge Timothy Pontius said the police had put together a "formidable and unassailable" case against the teenager. "Ziamani's coldblooded deliberation under the malign influence of ALM, of whom he was a willing student, showed in court that he was far from the naive adolescent that the (defense) tried to portray him as," he is quoted as saying in a police statement. "He is a man of intelligence and independent and articulate mind. He was within hours of carrying out his intention of murdering a soldier, police officer or government official to imitate the horrifying savagery carried out by the killers of Lee Rigby." The letter that came to light when counterterror officers from London's Metropolitan Police searched Ziamani's address in June gave an insight into an extremist mind-set that already had violence in mind. Found in a pair of jeans, according to police, the letter was messily written with many misspellings. In it, he tells his "beloved parents" that what he's about to do is an obligation for Muslims and asks them to forgive him for all the stress he's caused them in the past. "I'm a changed person," he said, saying he has to act to help his "brothers and sisters" in Syria and Iraq. Because he does not have the means to get to these countries, he will wage war against the British government here instead, he said, adding that it would give the authorities "a taste of there (sic) own medicine." Ziamani admitted writing the letter and was arrested on suspicion of committing a terrorism offense. He was released on bail, allowing police to continue their inquiries. Police believe he converted to Islam in April 2014 and point to his postings on social media as evidence of his rapid radicalization. In May he posted "Land of democracy = Evil," and in July he posted, "Forget the protests, the only way to liberate Muslim lands is Jihad." On June 20, Ziamani had used his phone to visit websites researching the locations for army cadet bases across London, police said. While Ziamani was out on bail, officers tasked with trying to divert vulnerable young people from the path to radicalization tried to meet with him three times, but he declined to engage with them, police said. Commander Richard Walton of the Counter Terrorism Command welcomed the sentence, saying he was "relieved an extremely dangerous individual" had been removed from the streets. "Ziamani was an impressionable young man who became radicalized, then rapidly developed an extremist, violent mind-set," Walton said. The work of police and intelligence officials had "probably prevented a horrific terrorist attack taking place on the streets of London," he said. | Brusthom Ziamani gets 22 years in prison in plot to kill a soldier, police officer or official .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Real Madrid's star-studded attacking force might be struggling to fire, but Barcelona coach Luis Enrique has no such problems with his wealth of talent up front. Sunday's 6-1 demolition of Rayo Vallecano put the Catalan side one point above Real at the top of Spain's La Liga, with Lionel Messi setting more records as he netted a hat-trick while fellow forward Luis Suarez also scored twice. Even without suspended Brazil star Neymar -- the third prong of Barca's striking line -- Enrique was able to happily reflect on a result that fully rubbed salt in Madrid wounds following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Athletic Bilbao. "We're elated, but the objective is to be leading at the end of the season. I already said that everybody could lose a game, so we have to keep playing well and win every match," he said. "It's heavy having to win every single match. Each game is more important than the last." By contrast, Real coach Carlo Ancelotti is feeling the strain after also dropping points last weekend against Villarreal. "There is no link-up play, our play is too based around individual play, we need another way of attacking, with faster play and fewer touches," said the Italian, who must rouse his troops for Tuesday's European Champions League last-16, second-leg tie at home to Schalke. "It is quite confusing to see what we're doing at the moment in attack. The ball doesn't move around quickly." While Real's front trio of top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema and Gareth Bale are struggling to match their form from the first half of this season, Barca's star men are moving into menacing mode ahead of the rival teams' "El Clasico" clash at the Nou Camp in a fortnight. Messi's 32nd career hat-trick is a record for a Spanish club player, and took him past Ronaldo as the La Liga leader on 24 trebles. The Argentina star also drew level with the Portugal captain as the Spanish league's top scorer this season on 30 goals. It's the sixth successive season in which he has topped 40 goals, with 41 from 38 games so far this campaign. Suarez has now scored six goals in his last four games, and 13 from 26 overall appearances since joining from English club Liverpool after a World Cup that ended in a lengthy ban for his bite on Italy's Giorgio Chiellini. "Suarez and Messi are having more and more chemistry, and today we all saw what they bring to the team," Enrique said. "I like (Ivan) Rakitic wherever he plays on the field. He always knows what to do with the ball and is one of the best signings we've ever had." "(Gerard) Piqué has always known how to score, above all on set plays. It's a perfect solution for games when our opponents collapse defensively." Both teams had a player sent off in front of a crowd of over 87,000, Barca's best this season: Rayo defender Tito for a foul on Suarez in the 55th minute that allowed Messi to make it 3-0 with a retaken penalty; and Dani Alves for tripping Alberto Bueno, who also netted the resulting spot-kick. Barca's 20th win from 26 league games put the club seven points clear of third-placed Atletico Madrid after the defending champion's 1-1 home draw with fourth-placed Valencia later Sunday. Koke put Atletico ahead in the first half but Shkodran Mustafi headed an equalizer with 12 minutes left, while Valencia teammate Javi Fuego received two late yellow cards. Sixth-placed Villarreal beat Celta Vigo 4-0, while Real Sociedad beat Espanyol 1-0 in a mid-table clash. In Italy, second-placed Roma missed a chance to put pressure on leader Juventus after being held 0-0 at struggling Chievo Verona on Sunday. It left Rudi Garcia's team eight points adrift of Juve, which hosts Sassuolo on Monday. Third-placed Napoli also drew, blowing a two-goal lead against Inter Milan as Rodrigo Palacio and Mauro Icardi, with an 87th-minute penalty, canceled out second-half goals by Marek Hamsik and Gonzalo Higuain. In Germany, Bayer Leverkusen moved up to fourth with a 3-0 win at Paderborn as South Korea striker Heung-Min Son scored two late goals after a 73rd-minute opener from Greece defender Kyriakos Papadopoulos. In France, Lyon restored a one-point lead at the top of the table with a 5-1 win at Montpellier, as young midfielder Nabil Fekir scored twice.

The Ireland manager had admitted last summer that he was chasing up a lead with a player at Tottenham Hotspur and the 21-year-old was the man in O’Neill’s sights. Despite being offered encouragement by Kane’s camp, the striker, whose father was born in Galway, insisted in August that his only aim was to break into the senior England squad. And after his breakthrough season in the Premier League, O’Neill has accepted that the chase to land him is over. Harry Kane celebrates scoring his second goal as Tottenham beat QPR 2-1 at Loftus Road last Saturday . The England Under 21 striker is also eligible to play for the Republic of Ireland because of his father . ‘Yeah, yeah, it is. I was talking to somebody about this last night and we were just saying that Harry himself always wanted to play for England. Really, it was as simple as that,’ he said. ‘The order of events – though I don’t think it’s really important any more – is that initially the agent got in touch and said that he would have a keen interest, and we wanted to go and chase it up. ‘But then I noticed in the newspaper where he said he wanted to play for England. And that has remained the same. Someone was even speaking to him recently and that was exactly the same conversation. Fine, if that’s the case.’ Before Kane propelled himself into the limelight, with 26 goals to his name already this season, O’Neill felt it was possible he would opt for Ireland. Ireland boss Martin O'Neill has revealed that Kane was interested in representing Ireland before this season . ‘Considering what the agent said to me,’ he added. ‘Sometimes what agents do is they have someone who looks after the player who is not actually licensed to buy or sell or be involved as an agent but they look after the player. And he was the one who called. But he happened to call me on a day when Harry Kane said he wanted to play for England. ‘It would have been really nice, absolutely. There’s a fairly decent chance he might have had a few caps for us before he actually makes his debut for England, considering the way he’s playing.’ One Harry who will join up with the Ireland squad for the Euro 2016 qualifier with Poland later this month is Harry Arter. The Bournemouth midfielder has impressed as his side top the Championship and O’ Neill revealed that there will be further additions to his plans in the coming months. Kane has scored 26 goals so far this season and is on the brink of Roy Hodgson's England squad . ‘I don’t want to sound like a detective here but I’m following up on a number of leads. Honestly, I think there’s one or two might come to fruition in the next couple of months, maybe even before the Scotland game, that might be pleasantly surprising. I’m saying that, maybe I’m being optimistic. ‘If I thought things were really worth chasing up and somebody’s...I think sometimes the agent is seemingly almost like an excuse preventing that. One particular lad has called me who has bypassed agents and he’d be pretty keen. And I’m putting something in motion at the moment.’ Although O’Neill was coy on revealing any names. ‘Do you know, I can’t really at this minute. Would probably end up embarrassing myself when he turns out and plays for Czechoslovakia.’ | Harry Kane can represent the Republic of Ireland because of his father .

Rich hospital workers, businessmen and charity leaders are using the tax break to pay for high-end holidays, extravagant meals and even their children's weddings. The meal and entertainment concession allows employees to spend an uncapped amount of money on food, entertainment and leasing facilities, with some members paying for cruise tickets using the privilege. Wealthy professionals in the medical industry, including surgeons and hospital executives have been caught out using a tax loophole to pay for lavish personal items . The concessions, or credit cards as they are known, allow employees of certain salary packages to purchase items such as mortgage repayments or vehicle expenses from pre-tax income, thereby reducing income tax payable. The federal government has come under pressure from some not-for-profit agencies, who say the state could save astronomical amounts of money over the coming years if they were to get rid of the concessions. According to a report submitted by Save The Children Australia, the exemption from fringe benefits is estimated to cost the Treasury up to $600 million a year over the next few years. Treasury has estimated that it will cost over $2 billion in lost tax over the next four years. The concessions, or credit cards as they are known, allow employees of certain salary packages to purchase items such as mortgage repayments or vehicle expenses from pre-tax income, thereby reducing income tax payable . 'The Productivity Commission has provided examples of how $2,200 restaurant meals and $40,000 weddings could be paid for from pre-tax income to avoid significant amounts of tax that would otherwise be payable on the relevant employee’s income,' the Save The Children Australia report said. 'The benefit of this concession is also not evenly spread among NFP(not-for-profit) employees, tending to be more highly utilised by eligible employees on higher salaries.' Although Save the Children currently benefit from this concession, they told Daily Mail Australia that they support its removal. They hope the funding will be re-directed to support vulnerable children. The concession was initially offered up to not-for-profit organisations as an incentive for new employees however over the years it has become a loophole for the rich to enjoy an extravagant lifestyle.

Speaking to The Australian Financial Review, World Vision Australia chief executive Tim Costello said he believes lower paid workers are shunned in the fringe benefit concession, allowing the rich to take a large chunk of the benefits. 'The concessions enable huge benefits to the richest 1 per cent working in the sector while offering minimum benefits to the lowest paid sector.' According to a Treasury report, the concession will cost $465 million this year alone in lost tax and that figure will rise by nearly $100,000 by 2018. | Surgeons and hospital executive are using a tax loophole for a lavish life .

Help: The striker, a summer signing from Lyon, was attended to for four minutes and left the field a stretcher . On the ground: Gomis has a history of losing consciousness, fainting three times since joining Lyon in 2004 . But Gomis told supporters after the game on Twitter: ‘I wanted to reassure you concerning my health - it actually looks much more scary than physically dangerous, and I am feeling well now.' He added: ‘I have been under a great deal of stress and fatigue due to my father's health that requires me to go back and forth to France. 'I was disappointed that I couldn't help my team tonight, but now everything is back in order. I also want to thank everyone for their support and get well messages.’ Gomis, a summer signing from Lyon, collapsed after Nacer Chadli gave Spurs an early lead. A Swansea spokesman said last night that Gomis was in a 'stable condition' following the incident. He added: 'He is fine. He is in the medical room.

At the time, Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas admitted he was ‘worried’ about the striker. ‘We can't not be worried, it scares you each time,’ he told ITele. ‘A vasovagal episode (fainting) is part of the things that can happen to people who have this type of constitution. It's now three times that it's happened. Yes, I'm worried.’ Last night, BBC Match of the Day host and former England footballer Gary Lineker tweeted: 'Very worrying images at White Hart Lane where Bafetimbi Gomis has been stretchered off after collapsing to the ground with no one near him.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)After spending much of her 2008 campaign seemingly running away from the fact that she is a woman, Hillary Clinton is showing signs that 2016 is going to be a different story. It seems that Hillary has found her outer woman, which is to say, she's found the person that she wants to present on the campaign trail, and that person is resolutely female. This time she seems to have decided to fully embrace her womanhood as an asset in her quest for the White House and to trust that the voters will do the same. Of course, Hillary hasn't officially announced that she will be running for president -- and Universal Studios has not officially announced that there will be a sequel to the blockbuster "50 Shades of Grey." But it's hard to imagine 2016 happening without both of those things, seeing as how they both have such excellent prospects of success. Hillary recently spoke at a Silicon Valley conference for women in the tech field with the theme of "Lead On." That lent itself nicely to the professional goals of the members of the audience as well as to Hillary's own leadership goals. She spoke of the dearth of women not only in the tech field, but in the ranks of Fortune 500 CEO's. In fact, one recent diversity study found that the major S&P 1500 company boards had more men with the name John, Robert, William, or James on them than women of any name combined. Left unsaid in her speech was any reference to the complete lack of a female occupant of the Oval Office thus far, but the thought could not have been far from anyone's mind, let alone Hillary's. Clinton was comfortable talking at length about her own experiences being pregnant and giving birth while working as a partner in a law firm, and using that as a launching pad to discuss the importance of women in the workforce both here and around the world. And from there she highlighted her own work on behalf of the women of the world as secretary of state. She segued into the discussion of the plight of working middle-class families that will be so central to the 2016 race, and the centrality of women's economic issues to those struggles of the middle-class. From there it was a natural progression to talking about 21st century families and the importance of things such as paid leave. And all of that dovetailed perfectly into closing remarks about the future that revolved naturally around the birth in September of Clinton's first grandchild, Charlotte Clinton Mezvinsky. That brought up Hillary's new role as a grandmother, and the perspective it has given her on the future and what needs to be done to guarantee that it's the best possible future. The Silicon Valley address could serve as a template for how Clinton intends to approach her career goals from the vantage point of being a woman seeking her own place in the workforce. In the coming weeks, which serendipitously happen to be part of Women's History Month, Hillary's speaking schedule is heavy with events and gatherings that center around women. If she's not running for president, then she could be gearing up to get a talk show on the Lifetime network. All of which stands in stark contrast to Hillary's last presidential campaign. In 2008, she seemed to think that she had to reassure voters that a woman could be president, primarily by not accentuating the fact that she was a woman. This time around, there seems to be a shared assumption that, of course, a woman would make an excellent president, in part simply by virtue of being a woman. In that previous campaign, Hillary ran as the most experienced candidate, primarily to draw a distinction between herself and her relatively less experienced challenger, Barack Obama. But now, almost eight years later, Clinton can let her experience speak for itself. She has more of it -- almost too much, from one perspective: She'll be 69 by the time the 2016 election takes place. So this time instead of highlighting her experience, she's highlighting the experiences she has in common with the women, mothers and grandmothers out there. Of course, Hillary's message will have to resonate beyond female voters. Fortunately, the dynamics of the 21st century economy and the place of the family within it lend themselves to a family-friendly feminism. We live in a society where women are necessary breadwinners whose income is counted upon for families to make it. Gender pay equality and supportive work environments benefit spouses, children, extended families and entire communities. Today, feminism, family and economic issues intertwine like never before. Hillary's stressing of the importance of women's workplace issues both to the family and to the struggles of the middle-class puts the Republicans on the defensive as they try to co-opt middle-class economic issues. Potential GOP presidential candidates are already trying to position themselves to steal the thunder of the Democratic nominee when it comes to issues of wage inequality and middle-class stagnation. But how exactly do they propose to reinvigorate a middle-class that is overwhelmingly composed of families with two wage-earners if they don't fight for women's workplace issues? For instance, child care may be thought of as a woman's issue, but it's really a family issue, virtually by definition, and an economic issue on top of that. Among topics that are sometimes seen as more traditional women's issues such as family planning, access to birth control and the right to choose, Hillary has the advantage in that she can make her stance clear, based on her life experiences as a woman. It's the Republicans with extremist views on these issues who have to dance around their real beliefs and avoid making outrageous and absurd statements such as embarrassing pronouncements about rape and pregnancy. If Hillary seems more comfortable running as a woman, it's partly because society at large seems more comfortable with a populist-tinged feminism than it was in 2008. Patricia Arquette's Oscar night speech in support of equal pay for women -- although predictably dismissed by right-wing media such as Fox News -- was enthusiastically received by the public in general. In fact, far from being thought radical, Arquette's statements backstage were thoroughly deconstructed by the left for not being progressively correct enough. Women have been steadily making strides in the years since Hillary's 2008 campaign, and as they did, they smoothed the way for one of their own to run for the highest office in the land without having to play down her gender. Hillary is now wisely embracing her gender as a way of capturing the same "hope and change" historical quality of Obama's presidency. Voters always want change, and Hillary Clinton has been a constant on the political stage for decades now. She's certainly no stranger to Washington, or to the West Wing of the White House. But electing her president would still represent massive change on a fundamental level. Hillary Clinton wants 2016 to be the Year of the Woman. And she wants to be The Woman. | Donna Brazile: In 2008, Hillary Clinton de-emphasized gender and ran on her experience . Now Clinton is positioning her potential campaign to focus on history-making election of a woman president . |
Given a reference text about the Osterville Baptist Church, tell me why its steeple was rebuilt and when it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places. | The Osterville Baptist Church is an historic Baptist church building at 824 Main Street in the Osterville village of Barnstable, Massachusetts. The white clapboarded wood-frame structure was built in 1837 for a congregation formed two years earlier. It is one of the older buildings in Osterville, and is a fine example of the Greek Revival with Gothic Revival elements. The church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.
Description and history
The Osterville Baptist Church is set prominently in the center of Osterville on the north side of the junction of Main Street and Wianno Avenue. It is rectangular single-story wood-frame structure, with a gable roof, vinyl siding, and a brick foundation. Its exterior features a mix of Greek Revival and Gothic Revival styling, with corner paneled pilasters rising to entablatures running along the sides of the building, and lancet-arched panels above its windows. Its facade is symmetrically arranged, with a pair of entrances, each framed by sidelight windows and pilasters, with an entablature and cornice on top, and sash windows above. A single lancet-arch panel adorns the center of the gable end. The church has a two-stage square tower, with a plain first stage topped by a belfry with lancet-arched louvered openings, and a steeple above.
The church congregation was organized in 1835 as the Second Barnstable Baptist Church, and this church was dedicated in 1838, having been built on land given by Captain George Lovell. Its steeple is a reconstruction of the original, which was lost in a hurricane in 1945. The church interior was remodeled in 1889, at which time a heating system was added. Further additions have been made to the rear of the building, adding classroom, meeting, and office spaces. | The Osterville Baptist Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1987.

What is WestWorld? | Westworld is an American dystopian science fiction western television series created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy that first aired on October 2, 2016, on HBO. It was based upon the 1973 film of the same name written and directed by Michael Crichton and loosely upon its 1976 sequel, Futureworld. | Westworld is an American dystopian science fiction western television series created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy that first aired on October 2, 2016, on HBO. It was based upon the 1973 film of the same name written and directed by Michael Crichton and loosely upon its 1976 sequel, Futureworld.
The story begins in Westworld, a fictional, technologically advanced Wild-West-themed amusement park populated by android "hosts". The park caters to high-paying guests who may indulge their wildest fantasies within the park without fear of retaliation from the hosts, who are prevented by their programming from harming humans. Later on, the series' setting expands to the real world, in the mid-21st century, where people's lives are driven and controlled by a powerful artificial intelligence named Rehoboam.
Nolan and Joy served as showrunners. The second, third and fourth season followed in April 2018, March 2020, and June 2022, respectively. Nolan and Joy planned a fifth and final season, and were in negotiations with HBO to produce it. However, in November 2022, it was announced that HBO had canceled the series. The series was removed from HBO Max on December 18, 2022.
Westworld's debut on HBO had the network's highest viewership ratings for a premiere since the first episode of True Detective, in 2014. Westworld's first season is the most-watched first season of any HBO original series. The first season also received critical acclaim and was highly praised for its performances, visuals, narrative, themes and soundtrack from Ramin Djawadi. Reception of the series declined from the second season onwards, with the scripts, characterization and narrative opacity being targeted for criticism; viewership ratings also diminished throughout its run. It has received numerous accolades, winning nine Primetime Emmy Awards out of 54 nominations. Thandiwe Newton won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2018. |

His spell at New York City FC may not be on the same level, yet the unbridled joy displayed at creating history with the new Major League Soccer side’s first ever goal on the hallowed turf of Yankee Stadium was there for all to see. It was his presence which attracted a healthy and encouraging 43,507 here. And it was his typically busy display which ultimately was the difference. David Villa fires past Bobby Shuttleworth to score the first goal for New York City FC at Yankee Stadium . The Spaniard finished off a neatly-worked move with Ned Grabavoy to put the hosts on the way to a well-deserved victory . Yankee Stadium played host to a whole new ball game as the MLS expansion franchise won its first game in the Big Apple . A packed Yankee Stadium watches as the two teams battle it out in the second game of the MLS season . New York City: Saunders; Williams (Facey 79), Hernandez, Wingert, Brovsky; Velasquez (Shelton 66), Diskerud, Jacobsen, Grabavoy; Villa, Nemec (Mullins 84). Booked: Wingert, Williams . Goals: Villa 19, Mullins 84 . New England Revolution: Shuttleworth; Alston (Barnes 59), Farrell, Goncalves, Tierney; Kobayashi, Dorman; Rowe, Nguyen (Caldwell 71), Fagundez; Agueldo (Davies 65). Booked: Agueldo, Dorman . Sent off: Goncalves . Attendance: 43,507 . His first goal since moving to the US this summer was a clinically taken strike on 20 minutes and, on another day and without the seemingly impenetrable Bobby Shuttleworth standing in his way, the 33 year-old would have bagged a hatful. Yet he still managed to retain his composure and cross for Patrick Mullins on 84 minutes to nab the killer second and prove the former Barcelona and Atletico Madrid striker brings much more to the table than just lightning quick reactions in front of goal. Of course, it's not all about one man and, in truth, Manchester City’s newest fledgling entity were decent value after securing their first win against a New England Revolution side who were harshly forced to play with 10 for the last 23 minutes following Jose Goncalves’ straight red card. City have aggressively marketed their brand new adventure in Manhattan, hammering home the fact that they – and not the New Jersey based Red Bulls – are the true team of New York. The numbers swilling around outside before kick-off suggested it had done the trick. Yankee stadium, no matter how resplendent an arena it is, will never be a perfect fit for the beautiful game. Yet NYCFC and their freshly conceived, enthusiastic fanbase did their best to make it feel like home. The makeshift pitch which has already got the baseball players fretting ahead of their season opener in three weeks time, was certainly passable. There was a decent atmosphere though here in the Bronx. The rarest of sightings in this vast country - away fans - played their part too. It was hard to gauge exactly at what stage Jason Kreis’ side were at in the opening day draw with fellow newcomers Orlando City. They are still in an embryonic stage after just a handful of games together. New York City FC celebrate after Patrick Mullins wrapped up the first victory of the MLS season for the team . Villa leaps into the air after scoring the first goal of his MLS career in front of an adoring crowd . Villa shakes hands with New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio as Chris Wingert looks on before the victory at Yankee Stadium . New York City FC fans wait for the start of the game during the inaugural game of the MLS franchise . New England, who were denied the title last season by Robbie Keane’s LA Galaxy, would certainly provide a much clearer yardstick. And so it proved. Villa buzzed around early on, teeing up frontman Adam Nemec who shot straight at Revolution keeper Bobby Shuttleworth before the Spanish was ace was denied on 15 minutes following a typical jinking run into the box. The former Barcelona man was, by far and away, the most potent player on the pitch. And on 19 minutes came his first MLS strike. It was a classic Villa moment. A sweet exchange with Ned Grabavoy opened up the visitor’s backline and as Villa bore down on goal, there was only going to be one outcome. His finish was assured, calm and clinical. When Frank Lampard arrives in the summer, the added quality will ensure City will be hugely competitive. Yet in the land of single entity leagues and the desperation of ensuring level playing fields, weaknesses in other parts of the pitch are harder to plug. The home side’s defence looked particularly creaky with New England knocking on the door with increasing regularity following Villa’s opener. The best chances fell to Juan Agudelo, the first on 36 minutes when a weak flick dribbled the wrong side of the post before he somehow headed straight at Josh Saunders from four yards out.

Please give me a short bulleted list of the theories that explain different aspects of the relationship between the work and family life made in this passage. | Dominant theories of the relationship
Several theories explain different aspects of the relationship between the work and family life. Boundary theory and border theory are the two fundamental theories that researchers have used to study these role conflicts. Other theories are built upon the foundations of these two theories. In the two decades since boundary theory and border theory were first proposed, the rise of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) has drastically altered the work–life interface. Work can now be completed at any time and in any location, meaning that domains are more likely to be blended and boundaries barely exist.
Seven dominant theories have been utilized to explain this relationship on the boundary-border spectrum; These theories are: structural functioning, segmentation, compensation, supplemental and reactive compensation, role enhancement, spillover, and work enrichment model.
Structural functionalism
The roots of this theory can be traced back to the early 20th century, when industrial revolution was separating economic work from the family home. The 19th century's technological advancements in machinery and manufacturing initiated the separation of work from family. However, it was not until the early 20th century that the first view of work–family theories started to take shape. Structural-functionalism as one of the dominant sociology theories of early 20th century was a natural candidate.
The structural functionalism theory, which emerged following WWII, was largely influenced from the industrial revolution and the changes in the social role of men and women during this period. This theory implies that the life is concerned mainly with two separate spheres: productive life which happens in the workplace and affective life which is at home. Structural functionalism theory believes in the existence of radical separation between work (institution, workplace, or market) and families. According to this theory, these two (workplace and family) work best "when men and women specialize their activities in separate spheres, women at home doing expressive work and men in the workplace performing instrumental tasks" (Kingsbury & Scanzoni, 1993; as cited in MacDermid, 2005: 18).
Greedy institutions
It has been argued that the work–family conflicts, in particular role conflicts, can be interpreted in terms of Lewis A. Coser's concept of "greedy institutions". These institutions are called "greedy" in the sense that they make all-encompassing demands on the commitment and loyalty of individuals, and tend to discourage involvement in other social spheres. Institutions such as religious orders, sects, academia, top level sports, the military and senior management have been interpreted as greedy institutions. On the other hand, also the family has been interpreted as a greedy institution in consideration of the demands placed on a caretaker. When a person is involved in two greedy institutions—be it child care and university, or family and the military, or others—task and role conflicts arise.
Segmentation
Based on this theory work and family do not affect each other, since they are segmented and independent from each other. The literature also reports the usage of the terms compartmentalization, independence, separateness, disengagement, neutrality, and detachment to describe this theory.
Compensation
In 1979, Piotrkowski argued that according to this theory employees "look to their homes as havens, look to their families as sources of satisfaction lacking in the occupational sphere." What distinguishes compensation theory from the previous theories is that, in compensation theory, for the first time, the positive effect of work to family has been recognized.
Supplemental and reactive compensation
Supplemental and reactive compensation theories are two dichotomies of compensation theory which were developed during the late 1980s and the early 1990s. While compensation theory describes the behavior of employees in pursuing an alternative reward in the other sphere, supplemental and reactive compensation theories try to describe the reason behind the work–family compensation behavior of employees.
Role enhancement theory
According to this theory, the combination of certain roles has a positive, rather than a negative effect on well-being. This theory states that participation in one role is made better or easier by virtue of participation in the other role. Moreover, this theory acknowledges the negative effect of the work–family relationship, in which, only beyond a certain upper limit may overload and distress occur, however, the central focus of this perspective is mainly on the positive effects of work and family relationship, such as resource enhancement.
Work enrichment model
This theory is one of the recent models for explaining the relationship between work and family. According to this model, experience in one role (work or family) will enhance the quality of life in the other role. In other words, this model tries to explain the positive effects of the work–family relationship. | - Structural Functionalism: The theory of structural functionalism indicates that life is strictly separated between the workplace, where productive life occurs, and home or family life where affective life takes place.
- Greedy Institutions: The theory of greedy institutions posits that institutions make sweeping demands on individuals, and discourage an individual's participation in other social areas or institutions, leading to conflict when competing demands arise.
- Segmentation: The theory of segmentation argues that work and family life are fully segmented or severed from one another and therefore do not affect each other.
-Compensation: The theory of compensation states that individuals find refuge from work and its deficiencies in their home lives and the satisfaction that comes from their families.
-Supplemental and Reactive Compensation: Supplemental and reactive compensation are two theories that describe the ways in which individuals pursue alternative forms of life satisfaction while caught between the work and family social spheres.
- Role enhancement: The theory of role enhancement posits that participation in one social sphere can enhance satisfaction and participation in the other--up to certain limits beyond which overload may occur.
- Work Enrichment Model: The theory of work enrichment attempts to explain how experience in one role or social sphere can complement or increase satisfaction in another. In this way, the work enrichment model is similar to the theory of role enhancement. |
What are agents in the matrix and what is their relationship to sentinels? | Morpheus and his crew are a group of rebels who hack into the Matrix to "unplug" enslaved humans and recruit them; their understanding of the Matrix's simulated nature allows them to bend its physical laws. Morpheus warns Neo that death within the Matrix kills the physical body too and explains that the Agents are sentient programs that eliminate threats to the system, while machines called Sentinels eliminate rebels in the real world. Neo's prowess during virtual training cements Morpheus's belief that Neo is "the One", a human prophesied to free humankind. The group enters the Matrix to visit the Oracle, a prophet-like program who predicted that the One would emerge. She implies to Neo that he is not the One and warns that he will have to choose between Morpheus's life and his own. Before they can leave the Matrix, Agents and police ambush the group, tipped off by Cypher, a disgruntled crew member who has betrayed Morpheus in exchange for a deal to be plugged back into the Matrix to live a comfortable life. | Agents in the Matrix are sentient 'programs' designed to remove threats from the system. They can be thought of as an Anti-Virus solution within the Matrix program.

There is no direct relationship between Agents and sentinels except that they both work for the same entity against the humans. |
How many awards did the film The Walrus and the Whistleblower win per this entry of information? | The Walrus and the Whistleblower is a 2020 Canadian documentary film directed by Nathalie Bibeau. The film profiles Phil Demers, a former employee of Marineland who attempted to blow the whistle on allegedly inhumane treatment of animals at the institution.
According to a film industry newsletter, the film was made "in association with the Documentary Channel, and CBC Docs". The Documentary Channel's announcement about the film stated that Demers had "appeared four times on the Joe Rogan show, has testified before the Canadian Senate, and is being sued for $1.5 million for plotting to steal Smooshi, the walrus".
The film premiered as part of the 2020 Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Canada it was not screened theatrically, but premiered as part of the festival's online streaming component and aired on CBC Television on May 28 as part of the network's special Hot Docs at Home series of films from the festival.
In June 2020, the film was named as the winner of 2020 Rogers Audience Award, alongside the films 9/11 Kids, There's No Place Like This Place, Anyplace, First We Eat and The Forbidden Reel, and as Overall Favourite at Hot Docs. The Audience Award allowed the film to be fast tracked in the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature category, "provided it meets all other criteria for eligibility". Northern Banner, a division of Raven Banner Entertainment, subsequently announced that it had acquired the rights to distribute the film in Canada, probably starting before year end. The US and international distribution rights went to Gravitas Ventures.
The film received a nomination for the Donald Brittain Award at the 9th Canadian Screen Awards in 2021. | 2. the 2020 Rogers Audience Award, and the Donald Brittain Award in 2021. |
How do formula one cars generate downforce? | Formula One cars are the fastest regulated road-course racing cars in the world, owing to very high cornering speeds achieved through the generation of large amounts of aerodynamic downforce. Much of this downforce is generated by front and rear wings, which have the side effect of causing severe turbulence behind each car. The turbulence reduces the downforce generated by the cars following directly behind, making it hard to overtake. Major changes made to the cars for the 2022 season has seen greater use of ground effect aerodynamics and modified wings to reduce the turbulence behind the cars, with the goal of making overtaking easier. The cars are dependent on electronics, aerodynamics, suspension and tyres. Traction control, launch control, and automatic shifting, plus other electronic driving aids, were first banned in 1994. They were briefly reintroduced in 2001, and have more recently been banned since 2004 and 2008, respectively. | Formula one cars generate downforce mainly using front and rear wings. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Jerusalem (CNN)Israel did not spy on closed-door talks over Iran's nuclear program involving the United States and other world powers, an Israeli official said Tuesday, denying a Wall Street Journal report. The newspaper reported late Monday on its website that Israel had obtained confidential information about the negotiations to help it argue against a potential deal. "These allegations are utterly false," the senior official in the Israeli Prime Minister's office told CNN. "The state of Israel does not conduct espionage against the United States or Israel's other allies." The Israeli government's use of the information it allegedly gleaned -- sharing it with U.S. lawmakers and others to undercut support for a deal -- was what really angered the White House, the Journal reported Monday, citing current and former U.S. officials. "It is one thing for the U.S. and Israel to spy on each other. It is another thing for Israel to steal U.S. secrets and play them back to U.S. legislators to undermine U.S. diplomacy," a senior U.S. official briefed on the matter said, according to the newspaper. The Israeli espionage efforts included eavesdropping and also acquiring information from confidential U.S. briefings, informants and diplomatic contacts in Europe, the report says. The senior Israeli official told CNN that "the false allegations are clearly intended to undermine the strong ties between the United States and Israel and the security and intelligence relationship we share." That's not to say Israeli officials haven't been asking around about the Iran nuclear talks, as participating parties race to get a framework agreement ahead of a March 31 deadline. Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz and Yossi Cohen, Netanyahu's national security adviser, led an Israeli delegation that met early this week with a negotiating team from France, Israeli Intelligence Ministry spokesman Eyal Basson said. The same Israeli officials left France on Tuesday morning for the United Kingdom to meet with Britain's delegation on the Iran nuclear talks, according to Basson. Both France and Britain are among the Western powers in the P5+1, a group that also includes the United States, Russia, China and Germany, whose representatives have been across the table from Iran. While in Paris, the Israeli delegation did not meet with French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, said French Foreign Ministry spokesman Romain Nadal. The Israeli officials' apparent aim in France was not to "influence Paris' position in the negotiations, but to further develop the debate on the Iran nuclear talks," according to Nadal. Netanyahu himself has been clear on where he stands on this debate: He told the U.S. Congress earlier this month that a proposed agreement, as he depicted it, was "a bad deal." The Israeli leader predicted that not only would such a deal not stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons, it would "all but guarantee that Iran gets (nuclear) weapons, lots of them." "This deal won't be a farewell to arms; it would be a farewell to arms control," Netanyahu said. "And the Middle East would soon be crisscrossed by nuclear tripwires." Iranian officials have said they want a nuclear program for peaceful energy purposes. And they also want an end to the crippling sanctions which the United States and others have instituted to pressure Tehran. U.S. officials have long insisted their goal is to make sure that Iran doesn't develop nuclear weapons. But U.S. President Barack Obama's administration also has been open to talks -- and felt undermined by some moves by Netanyahu, who appears poised to remain Israel's prime minister after an election last week. In particular, Netanyahu's speech to Congress stoked long simmering tensions with Obama, not least because it was organized by House Speaker John Boehner without the White House's prior knowledge. Some questioned where Netanyahu got his information on a proposed nuclear deal, particularly at a point when negotiations were in flux with no agreement in place. According to the Wall Street Journal report, the sharing of sensitive information about the talks took place before Netanyahu's address. It describes efforts by Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer to lobby U.S. lawmakers before an interim agreement with Iran in November 2013 and briefings by Dermer and other Israeli officials in the early months of this year. But a spokesman for the Israeli embassy in Washington, Aaron Sagui, told the Journal that "Ambassador Dermer never shared confidential intelligence information with members of Congress." CNN's Oren Liebermann reported from Jerusalem, and Jethro Mullen reported and wrote from Hong Kong. CNN's Greg Botelho and Laura Akhoun contributed to this report. | Israeli intelligence minister met with French delegation, his spokesman says .

(Numbers based on 2013/14 figures) The losers, however, may be advised to find out what number ITV4 is on their TV boxes and brace themselves for the prospect of a fraction of that sum from the Europa League. In the packed stands it will all be about what happens on the pitch. In the directors box, however, officials will no doubt be calculating the rewards of glorious victory and the cost of miserable defeat. Should Louis van Gaal's visitors triumph in the early kick-off they will stretch the gap on Liverpool to five points with eight matches to play. Victory for Brendan Rodgers's resurgent Reds would see them take over fourth spot by a point. A draw and the advantage remains with the visitors from the other end of the Ship Canal.

Figures recently released reveal that they are set to see a drop in revenue of around £50m as a result of their inability to qualify under David Moyes. Should they repeat the trick this year that figure will rise to around £70m thanks to the new TV deal with BT Sport which is worth an extra £20m. Then there is United's £750m kit deal with adidas. That features a £22.5m penalty should they fail to qualify for the Champions League for two consecutive seasons. If the unthinkable happens, the loss would hit a staggering £100m. David Moyes' failure to reach the top four last season has made success imperative this time around . Liverpool got a taste of the Champions League this season, and will want the same again in 2015-16 . The impact another year without Champions League football would have on existing and potential sponsors cannot be quantified but it could run into the millions. United have a vast commercial operation with offices in Manchester, Mayfair and Hong Kong aimed at squeezing every penny out of their global brand. While they could label one year without Champions League football as a one-off, investors may see two years of non-qualification as more of a trend. That logic would no doubt spread to the New York Stock Exchange where failure to qualify could have an impact on the club's share price. United are used to European success, and will want to recreate nights like this - Moscow in May 2008 . Much of their success came under Sir Alex Ferguson (centre), and they have struggled since his retirement . In 2013-14, when United were knocked out by Bayern Munich in the quarter finals, they picked up £31.3m in broadcasting money alone. As for prize money, UEFA pay around £800,000 for each win and £415,000 for a draw. There is also the extra gate receipts, although this would be offset by an appearance in the Europa League.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Ferguson is crumbling. The cowardly and reprehensible shooting Wednesday night of two police officers came in a tumultuous seven days for the Missouri town, which had already seen Ferguson Police Chief Thomas Jackson announce his resignation after a damning Justice Department report on its police department. The report, which was ordered in the wake of the killing of Michael Brown last year, highlighted a predatory policing problem and a department that was biased, prejudiced and that has regularly targeted, arrested and fined African-Americans. Residents understandably want justice. But what's worse in all this is that Ferguson is illustrative of a broader problem across the country as increasingly militarized majority-white police departments demonstrate consistent racial bias toward majority-black communities. It's a combustible mix. In three-quarters of all U.S. cities with populations 50,000 or more, the police presence is "disproportionately white relative to the local population," according to The Washington Post. And tensions are being exacerbated by the use among police departments of military weapons, and stipulations that these former war zone weapons must be used within a year of acquisition. All this suggests a need for a completely new mindset on how we try to understand and implement policing practices across America. Indeed, a wholesale review of policies and approaches to law enforcement is needed, something that will likely necessitate drastic reforms in some departments so they can better represent, integrate, problem solve and liaise with the communities they are serving. First and foremost, our police departments must better reflect the diverse demographics of our increasingly diverse nation, whether it be race, creed, sexual orientation and more. America is changing fast, but police departments aren't keeping up. Training and recruitment of minorities is critical, yet far more needs to be taking place. With this in mind, amplifying community policing models that work and scaling them up immediately is essential if we are to stem the growing and sometimes overwhelming tide of frustration, anger and cynicism welling up among young African, Asian and Hispanic Americans. Second, we must radically rethink the trend toward the indiscriminate procurement and use of surplus military grade weaponry, which under the Department of Defense's 1033 program is flowing from battlefields to our local police forces. When the weapons of war come home from Iraq and Afghanistan to help police America's cities and towns, then you know something has gone terribly wrong with this country. Mine-resistant ambush protected vehicles, tanks, drones, grenades and assault weapons should not replace the community policing of our Main Streets. Ferguson is an excellent example of how the deployment of heavy weaponry inflames rather than de-escalates a crisis situation. Having military equipment on our streets does not make citizens feel safer, which is why the Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act was recently reintroduced in Congress. We do not need our officers looking like "Robocop" when they patrol our streets. It's that simple. Yet until such a bill is passed, war weapons will continue to flood our streets; Congress must act to stem this tide. We understand that times have changed and that new security threats require new solutions and procedures. But it doesn't justify the 150 raids per day by special weapons and tactics units for incidents that can be as benign as a Department of Education warrant. This kind of aggressive approach doesn't engender the kind of engagement necessary for identifying real risks lurking in a community. In fact, the opposite happens. Intelligence opportunities are dead on arrival, and potential allies who would otherwise be ready to help shut down immediately. Aggressive military-type action is quickly turning Americans against fellow citizens who they are ostensibly there to serve and protect. We therefore trust that President Barack Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder will take decisive action, working hand in hand with police departments all across this country. Yes, the White House's task force on police militarization was a start, but more concrete measures are needed if we want to reverse the rising anger in Ferguson and elsewhere. The time for a change is now. If we don't press our police departments to reflect the makeup and needs of our communities, then towns like Ferguson will unravel further. | Two police officers were shot Wednesday in Ferguson .

It could be an image from the hit television series "Mad Men," which documented the ribald world of advertising in 1960s America. Except this is 2015 and "Who squeezes them in Harelbeke?" is the poster strapline for the elite E3 Harelbeke competition in Belgium, accompanied by that gloved cyclist's hand poised to pinch a woman's bottom. Unlike the wind provocatively lifting up her skirt, the controversial advertisement wasn't dreamed up out of thin air. It's inspired by previous winner Slovak Peter Sagan, who pinched a podium girl's behind at the 2013 Tour de Flanders -- something he later apologized for, saying "I promise to act more respectfully in the future." A week earlier, he was also pictured on the E3 Harelbeke podium, making an ass-grabbing motion towards another flower girl. E3 Harelbeke's organizers chose to celebrate his antics in their 2015 campaign, sparking a global debate about sexism in cycling that has raced far beyond the billboard. "Old Boy's Club" "A guy grabbing a woman's ass is very much indicative of a level of sexual assault," said Kathryn Bertine, former professional cyclist and director of "Half the Road," a documentary about female racers. "This poster makes cycling look very outdated. They're relying on a 'good old boys club' tactic to help them sell a product -- and in this case that product is racing." Judging by E3 Harelebeke's provocative standards, the poster could even appear tame compared to previous years. In 2011 organizers opted for a naked woman lying in a field, while the silhouettes of miniature riders traversed her bare backside. More baffling was last year's poster featuring a woman straddling three other females curled into the shape of a bike. "Such provocative imagery may have been seen by some in the 1950s and 1960s as a basis for selling products, but marketing communications are a rather more sophisticated and progressive activity than they were 50 years ago," said Simon Chadwick, Professor of Sport Business Strategy and Marketing at Coventry University. "I think E3 Harelbeke are rather out of kilter with the way that most people think today." "A playful nod" Cycling's world governing body, the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) has since requested the poster be removed, to which the E3 Harelbeke organisers have agreed -- not that they necessarily see it as offensive themselves. "Personally, no I don't think it's sexist," Marc Claerhout, E3 Harelebeke manager, told CNN. Could he see why others might find it offensive? "I don't know. You have a lot of publicity where you see more than some underwear," he said. "And we didn't mean it as sexist." The organization has since withdrawn the poster, releasing an official apology to "anyone who might find it intimidating, discriminatory or sexist." "The organization launched this campaign as a playful nod to the stage incident two years ago in which a rider got ready to squeeze the buttocks of a flower girl," it added. Removing the poster is one thing -- but the UCI missed an opportunity to make an example of a tournament which has used seemingly sexist campaigns for years, said Olympic road race champion, Nicole Cooke. "Telling the race organizers to remove the posters is not much of a deterrent," added the retired cyclist whose autobiography "The Breakaway" highlighted sexism within the sport during her over decade long career. "A whopping fine and canceling the race would have sent out the strong message that there is no place for sexism in cycling. Instead, the race has received huge publicity." Celebrating sexual assault? The poster also glorifies what would be seen as sexual assault in any other workplace, said Laura Bates, founder of the "Everyday Sexism Project." "It contains a direct reference to an incident of sexual assault, which shouldn't be treated as something to celebrate and joke about," she added. Similarly, Belgium's Institute for the Equality between Men and Women, said the image violated 2007 anti-discrimination legislation and "incited sexual intimidation." It's unlikely the same image would have been used in a female tournament. "Not only is the poster sexist -- this race doesn't even have a women's field," said Bertine, who has long campaigned for a women's edition of the Tour de France equal to the men's -- a race often seen as the ultimate prize in cycling. "Here we are, fighting these battles to make equality happen. And posters like this are not helping to pave the way for cycling," she said. She sees the problem not with the majority of "supportive" male cyclists, but with the lack of female representation among race directors and promoters. Money talks . Indeed, sponsorship is a big factor is getting a race like the Women's Tour de France off the ground, said Alex Russell, one of two females on the board of British Cycling. "A lot of it comes down to whether something has a market value -- and it's not necessarily down to gender," she said. "We've introduced a women's tour in Britain and we have got financial support for that. But you can't just jump to mass spectators and mass broadcasting because these things grow incrementally." Former World Road Race champion Cooke points to the discrepancy in prize money as another big obstacle for women within the sport. "The inspiration for the poster is the 2013 Tour de Flanders, for which male winner Fabian Cancellara received €20,000 ($22,000) for his efforts. In comparison, when I won this event, I was happy for the team to split the modest €1,000 I received amongst the other riders," she said. "The biggest change I would recommend to provide protection, security and credibility for female road riders, would be the introduction of a minimum wage, as there is in place for male riders," added Cooke. "Cycling cannot be allowed to exist outside the laws of society, like some sort of medieval anarchy." It seems that rather than a podium girl's bottom, the one being put under the spotlight at this year's event, will be the organizers themselves. | Belgium cycling tournament scraps poster of podium girl's bum .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The collapse of marriage in our poorest communities -- and its tragic impact -- is a familiar story. But increasingly, marriage is becoming a marker of class privilege in America, something increasingly reserved for the affluent. If progressives want to tackle the scourge of inequality, then the retreat from marriage is an issue they can't ignore. The reality is that the retreat from marriage is pervading the working middle class -- the two-thirds of Americans without a college degree. This is occurring even as in upscale America, marital bonds remain comparatively strong. "This is the marriage gap, and it's something new in America," declares a manifesto on "marriage opportunity" unveiled in a recent Washington Monthly cover story. It was penned by four astute social and political analysts, David Blankenhorn, Jonathan Rauch, Barbara Dafoe Whitehead and Bill Galston. (Full disclosure: I'm a signer of their statement.) "Over the past several decades, the norm of marriage has eroded across all economic and educational classes, but much less among the elite," they write. "But for millions of middle- and lower-class Americans, marriage is increasingly beyond reach, creating more fractured and difficult family lives, more economic insecurity for single parents, less social mobility for those on the lower rungs of the economic ladder, more childhood stress, and a fraying of our common culture." True, overall U.S. marriage rates have fallen from 72% of U.S. adults in 1960 to just 51% in 2012, according to The Economist. But drill a little deeper into the data, and a marital class divide emerges. Less than half of men with high school degrees are married, compared with 76% of men with college degrees. The pattern is similar among women, except that those with graduate degrees have somewhat lower marriage rates than those with four-year college degrees. And because the college-educated tend to look for mates with similar education and earning power, their unions push them even higher up the income scale -- further widening the economic gulf between marital haves and have-nots. Marriage in America, it seems, is becoming another luxury item for economic elites to enjoy. So why should we worry? "Declining marriage rates may not be concerning on their own, but while Americans are forgoing marriage, they are not forgoing childbearing," say Isabel Sawhill and Joanna Venator of the Brookings Institution. More than 40% of children are born outside wedlock today (including nearly three-quarters of black children). And a raft of social research shows that children who grow up in married, two-parent families do better in school and in life than those who don't. It's true that more children are being raised by cohabiting couples, but in the United States (unlike some European countries) these relationships tend to be unstable and short-lived. Some see the decline of marriage as stemming from a tectonic cultural shift -- the rise of feminism and the surge of women into work -- that has blurred the old division of familial labor between male breadwinners and female homemakers. But economic changes, mainly the disappearance of manufacturing jobs, automation and wage stagnation, have played a big part in the story, too. Liberals are eager to talk about their favorite economic fixes for inequality: raising the minimum wage, bolstering unions and taxing the rich to pay for new social benefits for families of modest means. But they seem uncomfortable talking about marriage, which is seen as an unwelcome distraction from issues of economic power. It's tempting to blame such reticence on President George W. Bush's ill-fated Healthy Marriage Initiative, which triggered a flurry of new federal marriage promotion programs over the previous decade. A centerpiece of Bush's "compassionate conservatism," the initiative managed to polarize the social policy community while having a negligible impact on falling marriage rates. In truth, though, liberals have a long tradition -- at least since Daniel Patrick Moynihan's warnings in the 1960s of the consequences of family breakdown in black communities -- of shying away from "cultural" explanations for poverty and inequality. They need to get over it. Inequality as we know it today arises from the intricate interplay of economic and cultural changes, and won't be reversed simply by redistributing income from affluent to downscale families. High marriage rates in upper middle-class America make the link between family structure and economic success abundantly clear. For example, economists Robert Lerman and W. Bradford Wilcox estimate that the median income of families with children would be 44% higher today if America had the same marriage rates we had in 1980. Today, a record number of Americans -- one in five adults 25 and older -- have never been married. It's probably not because our society is evolving away from a fundamental social institution that has endured for, oh, most of human history. In fact, researchers say aspirations to marriage are as high as ever, but the practical barriers are getting harder to surmount. Which brings us back to the "marriage opportunity" manifesto. Rather than actively promoting marriage -- something government has shown it doesn't really know how to do -- the opportunity agenda aims at removing impediments to marriage, especially for non-elite Americans. This includes a raft of familiar policy proposals for boosting the economic prospects of low-income workers and making taxes more family-friendly. Intriguingly, the four authors point to the one cultural shift that's bucking the trend toward diminishing demand for weddings -- the public's dramatic turnaround on same-sex marriage. They envision a possible political bargain in which conservatives accept gays as allies in fortifying marriage, and liberals recognize that family breakdown is magnifying America's disparities of wealth and income. Could expanding marriage opportunity really become common ground in America's intensely polarized culture wars? It seems like an extravagant hope. But Blankenhorn and company are emphatically right that both progressives and conservatives have a big stake in reversing the retreat from marriage. | Will Marshall: Retreat from marriage is pervading the working middle class .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The song is straightforward and carries the usual expletive, for semi-rhyme as well as effect. Gabby Agbonlahor, cry Aston Villa fans to the tune of Karma Chameleon, is rather fast. That’s the clean version. The frequency with which the words are heard from now until the end of the season will prove largely correlative to Villa’s chances of remaining a Premier League team. They have not been sounded all too often this campaign. But at Villa Park on Tuesday night, especially during the first half, Agbonlahor produced a performance to warrant adulation. Gabby Agbonlahor salutes the Villa Park crowd in celebration after opening the scoring against West Brom . Agbonlahor threads the ball through Ben Foster's legs to give the hosts the lead in the Midlands derby . It was arguably his best display in years, a return to those days when his speed and strength shot him into the England set-up. Agbonlahor consistently harried Gareth McAuley and Joleon Lescott, chasing down balls he had no obligation to reach, using his stocky physique to keep hold of possession when under threat. Christian Benteke got the headlines for his late winning goal, but it was Agbonlahor who set the tone. His goal was a classic case of pace proving the difference. He latched onto Benteke’s nodded flick and finished while making statues of the West Bromwich Albion central defenders. He did similar when creating a pass out Ashley Westwood’s hopeful ball, sprinting to startle the opposition backline and only being denied a second by Lescott’s goalline clearance. Boy George’s ditty rang loud. Agbonlahor beat Foster again shortly after but Joleon Lescott raced back to clear the ball off the line . Agbonlahor reacts after West Brom keeper Foster almost dropped the ball over his own goal line . Foster initially caught the shot from Agbonlahor but it then slipped through his legs and he had to react quickly . In all, he had three shots on target – including the badly fumbled effort by Ben Foster than nearly trickled over the line – which is a significant uplift of recent matches. In this statistic, the sequence of his last 12 games reads: 0, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 1. Fantastic figures should Jimmy Anderson be bowling a couple of overs at the death in the World Cup. As shots on target for a Premier League striker? Not so much. Agbonlahor failed to test the goalkeepers of Newcastle, Chelsea, Arsenal (admittedly as a substitute), Liverpool, Leicester, Crystal Palace, Manchester United (albeit sent off unjustly after 65 minutes) and West Bromwich Albion. His inability in that period to make a difference in opponents’ penalty areas is symptomatic of Villa’s wider attacking paralysis, stymied by a style that ranked possession over purpose to an adverse extent. Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood ran down the touchline and celebrated vigorously after Agbonlahor's goal . Christian Benteke sends the goalkeeper the wrong way to score a dramatic late penalty and seal the win for Aston Villa . It is hard as a centre-forward to strike for goal if the ball is rarely within 30 yards of the target. Agbonlahor would often operate on the wings under Paul Lambert too. This is not to absolve the 28-year-old. As one of the club’s senior figures his form has been disappointing, particularly since he signed a new four-year contract last September. Born locally and graduating from Villa’s youth set up he is a supporter of the club and the depth of his feeling has been clear in his commitment since he broke through to the first team nine years ago. So it has been odd to see his on-field demeanour at certain times this season, exhibiting none of the vim Villa fans know well. Benteke celebrates his goal with Aston Villa team-mates Jack Grealish and Andreas Weimann . Brad Guzan looked on in horror as Saido Berahino equalised for the visitors before Benteke's winner . That was back with a bang against West Brom. Tim Sherwood restored Agbonlahor up front alongside Benteke and allowed for the direct style that suits their attributes. Agbonlahor found the net for the first time in 14 matches and it proved valuable. Each one of his four Premier League goals has counted for something: a draw against Southampton and wins against Liverpool and Hull, accompanying the West Brom victory. Seven extra points in total. Sherwood knows the worth of the player whose speed is celebrated in chant. The Villa manager needs to continue utilising his talents for the final 10 Premier League matches to make sure this spark of brilliance does not fizzle out. Agbonlahor on song means Villa should stay up. | Aston Villa beat West Brom 2-1 in Midlands derby on Tuesday night . Gabby Agbonlahor scored his first league goal in 14 top flight matches .

According to this paragraph, what is the only state in North America that is an archpelago? | Hawaii (/həˈwaɪi/ (listen) hə-WY-ee; Hawaiian: Hawaiʻi [həˈvɐjʔi] or [həˈwɐjʔi]) is a state in the Western United States, about 2,000 miles (3,200 km) from the U.S. mainland in the Pacific Ocean. It is the only U.S. state outside North America, the only state that is an archipelago, and the only state in the tropics.
Hawaii comprises nearly the entire Hawaiian archipelago, 137 volcanic islands spanning 1,500 miles (2,400 km) that are physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania. The state's ocean coastline is consequently the fourth-longest in the U.S., at about 750 miles (1,210 km). The eight main islands, from northwest to southeast, are Niʻihau, Kauaʻi, Oʻahu, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Kahoʻolawe, Maui, and Hawaiʻi—the last of these, after which the state is named, is often called the "Big Island" or "Hawaii Island" to avoid confusion with the state or archipelago. The uninhabited Northwestern Hawaiian Islands make up most of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine National Monument, the United States' largest protected area and the fourth-largest in the world. | Hawaii is the only state in North America that is an archipelago, according to this text. |

Generate a summary of the text | England Test captain Alastair Cook could only make three runs as he opened the batting for MCC in their match against LV= County Championship winners Yorkshire in Abu Dhabi. Having top-scored in MCC's t20 defeat to Sussex on Friday, Cook could not replicate his form as he was trapped lbw by Ryan Sidebottom, with his side all out for 221 in their first innings. Yorkshire's reply started strongly and they ended day one on 82 for two, with Adam Lyth - the man who could partner Cook on England's tour of the West Indies - hitting an unbeaten half-century. Alastair Cook was dismissed for three on day one of the champion county match in Abu Dhabi . Yorkshire's Ryan Sidebottom celebrates after trapping Cook lbw for just three runs . Cook will now be able to see at the closest of quarters whether or not Lyth has what it takes to occupy that spot in the wake of his first call-up earlier this week. Sidebottom removed Nick Compton - someone who has partnered Cook in Tests - with the first ball of the match as the MCC captain edged a delivery into Jonny Bairstow's gloves. Cook soon followed Compton back into the pavilion before Michael Carberry and James Hildreth steadied the ship. James Hildreth scored 89 to help MCC up to a score of 221 in their first innings in Abu Dhabi . Adam Lyth was unbeaten on 53 as Yorkshire closed day one on 82 for two in response . The duo put on 74 for the third wicket before Carberry fell for 36, but Hildreth pushed on and made 89 before Tim Bresnan got him out lbw after lunch. Daryl Mitchell (54) and Zafar Ansari (24) were the only others who could make it into double figures as the final five batsmen could only add five runs between them. Lyth then took centre-stage as he started the Yorkshire reply, although he lost fellow opener and captain Alex Lees as he was caught behind off the bowling of Matt Dunn for 11. The Sheikh Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi is once again playing host to the floodlight contest . A 72-ball half-century from Lyth kept the reigning champions ticking over until Jack Leaning was caught off Ansari late in the day - with Steven Patterson brought in as night-watchman to see out the closing overs.

Manchester United legend Scholes has accused the £42.5million man of ‘going through the motions’ during his time with the Gunners in comments made to a national newspaper. But the Arsenal manager has defended his record signing, saying: ‘It’s a wrong statement. He works very hard and he’s a great player. A player like Paul Scholes would have loved to play with Ozil. Mesut has a point to prove and he knows that. Paul Scholes hit out at German playmaker Mesut Ozil by insisting he took easy option when he joined Arsenal .

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has leaped to Ozil's defence by hitting back at former United ace Scholes . ‘I believe he has the quality, he puts a lot of effort in to help the team and he works much harder than his style shows. ‘You can be cheated a little bit by his style of play, because he is fluid, easy, subtle and he does not look like he puts the effort in, but he does.’ Meanwhile, Wenger has launched a staunch defence of summer signing Danny Welbeck as the forward prepares for his Manchester United return. After arriving at the Emirates Stadium intent on playing as a central striker, the England international has found himself playing out wide again, a position he found frustrating during his time at Old Trafford. He has scored seven goals since arriving from United in August — three of those coming in a Champions League win over Galatasaray. But ahead of Monday’s FA Cup quarter-final, Wenger insists Welbeck has not been a £16million flop. Wenger and Ozil in training at London Colney ahead of their FA Cup clash against Manchester United . Ozil has divided opinion among Arsenal fans and the wider public since arriving in England . Wenger also defended former Manchester United striker Danny Welbeck's impact at Arsenal . ‘He’s very important and has played many games since the start of the season,’ said Wenger — who confirmed central defender Gabriel will miss up to three weeks with a hamstring injury. ‘If you check the statistics you will see (the suggestion Welbeck doesn’t play often) is wrong. He’s one of the players who has played the most games for us, but not in the last couple of games. Wenger also spoke to Sportsmail’s Martin Keown in an interview for the BBC’s Football Focus, to be broadcast on Saturday. In it, the Arsenal manager, who has won the FA Cup five times, discussed his favourite memories of the competition and which of the wins meant most to him. Wenger said: ‘Maybe the first one against Newcastle was the best because it was when we won the double in 1998. I remember absolutely everything about that day because it was at Wembley. When I was a kid in France I saw the cup finals. For me to come from a little village and go for the first time to Wembley was something special. It was a great old stadium, the soul was there, the grass was special.’ Scholes believes the likes of Manchester United's Robin van Persie left Arsenal because they were ambitious . The likes of Cesc Fabregas and Thierry Henry also left Arsenal to add to their personal trophy collection . But when asked about his collection of medals, Wenger admitted he cared little for them. He said: ‘I don’t even know where they are. Maybe I will regret it. I would like to think I get more out of the human side of my career. ‘I prefer to have a box of memories than a box of medals. What is interesting is that you can have an influence on people’s lives. They can have a big influence on you as well.’ Arsenal face United on Monday and Wenger enjoyed many classic cup ties against Sir Alex Ferguson’s side, but he said the pair’s frosty relationship had thawed in recent years. ‘I am happy to see him now,’ said Wenger, ‘more than before because we have gone through some different periods. In the end it became more respectful and of course he was not always objective in defending his team. Nor was I! That created disagreements. ‘Now we are happy to have dinner together and a good glass of wine and rise above the differences.’ But Monday’s tie doesn’t please him. ‘I wanted to play at home. But fantastic game or not, what is important is that you go through. It would have been better at home.

Generate a summary of the text | 'Poor': Sergei Pugachev, who was once branded 'Putin's banker', said the order has made it difficult for he and his partner, Alexandra Tolstoy, pictured together, to support their home . A Russian tycoon exiled in London who is fighting a freeze on his £1.3billion in assets by the High Court has claimed he is now a 'poor man' who cannot afford to support his family. Sergei Pugachev, who was once branded 'Putin's banker', said the order has made it difficult for him and his partner, Alexandra Tolstoy, to support their home. Last year it was reported the couple, who have three children and own a £12million house, employ two housekeepers, three nannies, two drivers and a live-in doctor. And Ms Tolstoy, 41, said it was hard to live on the £10,000-a-week allowed by the court. Mr Pugachev, the former billionaire business partner of the Queen's nephew Viscount Linley is accused in Moscow of siphoning more than £655million in funds from Mezhprombank, which filed for insolvency in 2010, including $700 million in Russian Central Bank bailout money. The 52-year-old former tycoon, who denies any wrongdoing, complained the freeze has left him unable to support Tolstoy who said last year it was hard to live on the £10,000 a week allowed by the court. 'I can be called a poor man. I do not have money to support my family and my property, and this is more important than paying the lawyers,' he told Vedomosti newspaper in Moscow, blaming the arrest of his bank accounts and assets. He said he has borrowed $5 million towards his $10 million legal bill, but was now unable to take more loans because his assets were frozen. As a result, he has dispensed with his lawyers. Last year, his socialite partner - a distant relative of Leo Tolstoy - said 'we are just surviving' on the £10,000 a week allowance. The Deposit Insurance Agency in Moscow, which is taking the legal action, claim the 'statements of his partner Alexandra Tolstoy' about their lifestyle belie 'his declarations about financial difficulties'. A source claimed his move to dispense with his British lawyers 'looks like a tactical trick and is aimed at making obstacles for English justice'. Last week a London Court of Appeal judge ruled that Pugachev, also previously nicknamed 'cashier to the Kremlin', must disclose further information about trusts he uses to bolster his income. Lavish: Last year it was reported the couple, pictured together, who have three children and own a £12million house, employ two housekeepers, three nannies, two drivers and a live-in doctor . 'Sophisticated and wily operators should not be able to make themselves immune to the courts' orders,' said the judge. Pugachev claims he is the victim of a 'politically motivated' asset grab by figures in the Russan elite of which he was a member before fleeing to London. His property was 'expropriated by the state and by private persons', and sold at rock bottom prices, he claimed. He also alleged in court that a senior Deposit Insurance Agency official earlier made 'a brazen attempt to extort money' from him, and threatened that 'he or his family could be physically harmed'. In November, Interpol put Pugachev on its wanted list at Russia's request, with Putin's spokesman alleging: 'He built up huge amounts of debts and then ran away.' Struggle: Ms Tolstoy, pictured, said 'she and her husband are just surviving' on the £10,000 a week allowance . Faced by the legal moves in Moscow, Pugachev in October blasted Putin, claiming all Russian businessmen are now 'serfs' under his total control. 'Today in Russia there is no private property. There are only serfs who belong to Putin,' he told the Financial Times, in a blunt warning over the collapse of regulated capitalism in his homeland. 'Now there is Putin and there are his lieutenants who carry out his orders - and all cash generated is put on the balance of Putin,' he alleged. 'The country is in a state of war. And therefore big business cannot live as before. It has to live under military rules.' He alleged: 'If Putin says he wants to buy something, you cannot say that you do not want to sell. 'If he says 'I want to buy something' then you say, 'Thanks for saying you want to buy it, and not just taking it.' | Sergei Pugachev, 52, had his £1.3billion assets frozen by the High Court over Russian probe .

Many of those injured were in critical condition, said Mohammed Bakir Hossain, the top government physician of Bagerhat district. Mohammad Niazmur Rahman, the fire and civil defense official coordinating the search and rescue effort, said early Thursday evening that two people had been pulled alive from the rubble and as many as 30 others are believed to be still trapped. Deputy inspector general of police of Khulna range SM Monir Uz Zaman said the number of those still trapped was unclear "as we're not sure how many people were working inside." The collapse took place around 1 p.m. (3 a.m. ET) in Mongla, a port city in the Asian nation's Bagerhat District. The factory is owned by Sena Kalyan Sangstha, a welfare organization for former Bangladeshi troops and their beneficiaries, according to Rahman and other local officials. Video from Boishakhi TV showed medical workers tending to the injured as they were wheeled into a local medical facility caked in dust. Deadly incidents at factories and other buildings, sadly, are nothing new in Bangladesh. The worst happened on April 24, 2013, when a nine-story building that housed five garment factories collapsed. Rescuers managed to save the lives of more than 2,400 people, but more than 1,100 died in the horrific accident. And a November 2012 apparel factory fire on Dhaka's outskirts killed at least 117 people, some of whom jumped from the building to escape the flames. Most of the dead were women, almost half of them burned so badly that DNA tests were needed to identify them. That blaze led to the convictions of 13 people for gross negligence of safety measures and spurred widespread criticism about the state of workers' rights in Bangladesh. The government responded by revamping laws so that workers no longer need approval from employers to form trade unions, and every factory that sells within the country also has to pledge 5% of their profits toward a workers' welfare fund. The government also boosted minimum wages from $38 to around $68 per month. Yet this hasn't stopped more deadly incidents, including the January deaths of at least 13 people when a fire broke out inside a Dhaka factory.

CNN's Sugam Pokharel and Kunal Sehgal contributed to this report. | More than 60 are injured, many critically, official says .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Liam Gallagher was fined $5,000 for failing to appear at a child custody hearing. Pictured, his baby mother Liza Gorbani outside court today . Liam Gallagher was today hit with a second $5,000 (£3,300) fine by a New York judge who said she was tired of his ‘frivolous conduct’. Judge Laura Drager said that she could not ‘excuse him any longer’ and said his US child custody battle was going to trial. The lawyer for Liza Ghorbani, Mr Gallagher’s baby mother, said that Mr Gallagher had not turned up for a deposition he was supposed to give last month either. Ira Garr also revealed that their daughter Gemma, two, is exhibiting ‘delays’ in her development and is having problems with speech. With no settlement the case will now go to trial on March 26 with both sides digging their heels in. So far Mr Gallagher has only flown to America for one hearing in two years and was last month hit with his first $5,000 fine by Judge Drager. In the latest hearing she opened by asking Mr Gallagher’s lawyer Raoul Felder: ‘Mr Felder, where is your client’. Mr Felder said: ‘My client is not here.’ Judge Drager said: ‘Is there a reason why he is not here?’ Mr Felder said: ‘I have no good reason’. Judge Drager said: ‘I am imposing a sanction of $5,000 for what I deem to be his frivolous conduct in not appearing in this court.... ‘...I had him appear by phone and I excused his (non) appearance but as we proceed to trial I cannot excuse his (non) appearance any longer. ‘There is no reason that I have been given as to why he cannot appear’. In his submission Mr Garr attacked Mr Gallagher for his ‘willful failure’ to attend court. He ran through his litany of non appearances dating back to 2013 and said: ‘The history of non compliance is about the most flagrant I can consider’. Scroll down for video . Liza Ghorbani's lawyer said Mr Gallagher had not turned up for a deposition he was meant to give last month . Mr Garr also told the court that Mr Gallagher had never once even asked to see Gemma or requested visitation rights. Mr Felder however accused Miss Ghorbani of ‘greed’. He said that Mr Gallagher had been paying $5,000 a month to her for two years now even when there was no court order forcing him to do so. He said that with Miss Ghorbani: ‘It’s a desire not to collect child support, it’s a desire to get support for herself, to change her lifestyle. ‘She wants bodyguards, a doorman, she wants to be treated as maybe a wife is treated if it was a long marriage... ‘We are talking about greed here. If this was street talk I’d say the court was scammed’. He cast doubts on Miss Ghorbani’s claims she was poor by pointing out that she lived a comfortable life and was taking Gemma to music lessons and baby ballet. Mr Gallagher met Miss Ghorbani when she interviewed him in 2010. At the time, he was married to singer Nicole Appleton (pictured together in 2005) He also claimed that she spent $2,000 a month on her apartment in Manhattan to retain the ‘fantasy’ she was still living in the city when she was actually living with her parents in Virginia. In her ruling, Judge Drager rejected a motion by Mr Garr for the case to go into default, which would mean that the court would make a decision on how much Mr Gallagher should pay based on a per centage of his income. Miss Ghorbani is currently being paid $5,000 a month by Mr Gallagher until a final decision about child maintenance can be agreed. When Mr Felder raised the prospect of Mr Gallagher attending the trial the judge said: ‘That would be great!’ Mr Gallagher, 41, met Miss Ghorbani, 40, after she interviewed him for the New York Times in 2010. At the time he was still married to All Saints singer Nicole Appleton with whom he is now divorced. Speaking after the hearing Mr Felder said that Mr Gallagher was in the UK but he did not know why he had not come to court. Asked if Mr Gallagher would attend the trial he said: ‘I don’t know’. Mr Garr would not elaborate on the nature of Gemma’s health problems but said that the ‘delays’ were being monitored. A spokesman for Mr Gallagher said: 'We believed that the case was resolved on an extremely generous basis to the lady until we got to court when she apparently received advice from others that prevented this. 'Liam always wanted to be more than fair and has always accepted responsibility for the child. The lady and her advisors have not allowed this to happen.' | Judge Laura Drager said she was tired of the singer's ‘frivolous conduct’ Lawyer for Liza Ghorbani, Mr Gallagher’s baby mother, said he had not turned up for a deposition he was supposed to give last month either .

Exact all the names related to 'Qin' in the paragraph | The name 'Qin' is believed to be the etymological ancestor of the modern-day European name of the country, China. The word probably made its way into the Indo-Aryan languages first as 'Cina' or 'Sina' and then into Greek and Latin as 'Sinai' or 'Thinai'. It was then transliterated into English and French as 'China' and 'Chine'. This etymology is dismissed by some scholars, who suggest that 'Sina' in Sanskrit evolved much earlier before the Qin dynasty. 'Jin', a state controlled by the Zhou dynasty in seventh century BC, is another possible origin. Others argued for the state of Jing (荆, another name for Chu), as well as other polities in the early period as the source of the name. | Qin, Cina, Sina, Sinai, Thinai, Jin, Jing, Chu are names related to Qin |
Based on the provided passage, extract the main reason that the Rocky Mountain Locust went extinct. | Rocky Mountain locusts caused farm damage in Maine from 1743 to 1756 and Vermont in 1797–1798. The locusts became more of a problem in the 19th century, as farming expanded westward into the grasshoppers' favored habitat. Outbreaks of varying severity emerged in 1828, 1838, 1846, and 1855, affecting areas throughout the West. Plagues visited Minnesota in 1856–1857 and again in 1865, and Nebraska suffered repeated infestations between 1856 and 1874.
1875 cartoon by Henry Worrall showing Kansas farmers battling giant grasshoppers
The last major swarms of Rocky Mountain locust were between 1873 and 1877, when the locust caused $200 million in crop damage in Colorado, Kansas, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska and other states. One farmer reported that the locusts seemed "like a great white cloud, like a snowstorm, blocking out the sun like vapor". The locusts ate not only the grass and valuable crops, but also leather, wood, sheep's wool, and—in extreme cases—even clothes off peoples' backs. Trains were sometimes brought to a halt after skidding over large numbers of locusts run over on the rails. As the swarms worsened, farmers attempted to control them using gunpowder, fires (sometimes dug in trenches to burn as many of the locusts as possible), smearing them with "hopperdozers", a type of plow device pulled behind horses that had a shield that knocked jumping locusts into a pan of liquid poison or fuel, even sucking them into vacuum cleaner–like contraptions, but all of these were ultimately ineffective in stopping the hordes. Charles Valentine Riley, a Missouri entomologist, came up with a recipe for locusts seasoned with salt and pepper and pan-fried in butter. The recipe sold, but some stated that they "would just as soon starve as eat those horrible creatures". Farmers finally responded in force to the swarm's destruction; an 1877 Nebraska law said that anyone between the ages of 16 and 60 had to work at least two days eliminating locusts at hatching time or face a $10 fine. That same year Missouri offered a bounty of $1 a bushel for locusts collected in March, 50 cents a bushel in April, 25 cents in May, and 10 cents in June. Other Great Plains states made similar bounty offers. In the 1880s farmers had recovered sufficiently from their locust woes to be able to send carloads of corn to flood victims in Ohio. They also switched to such resilient crops as winter wheat, which matured in the early summer, before locusts were able to migrate. These new agricultural practices effectively reduced the threat of locusts and greatly contributed to the species' downfall.
It has been hypothesized that plowing and irrigation by settlers as well as trampling by cattle and other farm animals near streams and rivers in the Rocky Mountains destroyed their eggs in the areas they permanently lived, which ultimately caused their demise. For example, reports from this era suggest that farmers killed over 150 egg cases per square inch while plowing, harrowing or flooding.: 11–12 It appeared that this species lived and reproduced in the prairie only temporarily during swarming years, with each generation being smaller than the previous one and swarming ever further from the Rocky Mountains, while the permanent breeding grounds of this species seemed to be restricted to an area somewhere between 3 and 3,000 square miles of sandy soils near streams and rivers in the Rockies, which coincided with arable and pastoral lands exploited by settlers.
Because locusts are a form of grasshopper that appear when grasshopper populations reach high densities, it was theorized that M. spretus might not be extinct, that "solitary phase" individuals of a migratory grasshopper might be able to turn into the Rocky Mountain locust given the right environmental conditions; however, breeding experiments using many grasshopper species in high-density environments failed to invoke the famous insect. The status of M. spretus as a distinct species was confirmed by a 2004 DNA analysis of North American species of the genus Melanoplus.
Melanoplus spretus was formally declared extinct by the IUCN in 2014. It has been suggested that the now critically endangered Eskimo curlew fed on the locust during its spring migration and that its extinction may have added to the pressures on already declining curlew populations including hunting and the conversion of its grassland habitat to agriculture. | The Rocky Mountain Locust went extinct as a result of local farmers irrigating and plowing their habitat, which destroyed their eggs led to their demise. |

Generate a summary of the text | It was a familiar feeling when David Strettle found himself being towered over by the 6ft 6in Per Mertesacker at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground. The Saracens winger, who was on the books of Manchester City as a teenager, had to give up his ambition of becoming a professional footballer because he was ‘too small’ to make the grade. Ironically, the dream of playing at Wembley transpired through rugby, but an afternoon with Mertesacker, Olivier Giroud and Wojciech Szczesny provided a taste of what might have been. David Strettle (far left) poses with Saracens team-mates during a visit to meet Arsenal players . ‘They all dwarfed us, but gone are the days where you have people like Julian Dicks and Vinnie Jones running around in midfield,’ said Strettle at a sponsors’ cross-code challenge day. ‘I was always a better footballer at school — Andrei Kanchelskis was my idol — but I wasn’t big enough to make it with City. That’s when rugby took over at about 16. ‘It’s funny how both games have changed.

David Strettle scores a try to help Saracens to LV= Cup glory over Exeter Chiefs last weekend . Strettle draws comparisons between the northern and southern hemisphere games, highlighting the superior skillset of forwards in New Zealand and Australia. Their lighter emphasis on the breakdown, he says, forces the big men to stand out in the backline and become more clinical in attack. The record-breaking final weekend of the RBS 6 Nations bucked the trend and, having seen England beat France in a 90-point thriller, Strettle feels more needs to be done to spice up the competition. ‘You need to bring in the bonus point to discourage that conservativeness,’ he said.

Why was Antestor known as sorrow metal? | Antestor (Norwegian: [ˈɑ̀ntəstuːɽ]) is a Norwegian Christian extreme metal band formed in 1990 in Jessheim. Credited for starting the northern European Christian black metal scene, Antestor is the only Christian band to have an album released by Cacophonous Records, which has also released records by bands such as Dimmu Borgir, Sigh, and Cradle of Filth. The band's only release on Cacophonous, The Return of the Black Death, proved influential for the Christian black metal movement, and has sold over 10,000 copies.
In the late 1990s they dubbed their musical style as "sorrow metal" rather than black metal because the black metal movement was publicly affiliated with Satanism in Norway. According to HM magazine, the progressive elements on the debut album, Martyrium, were possibly ahead of their time in the Norwegian extreme metal scene.
The group has gone through several line-up changes over the years, and currently Antestor consists of the founding guitarist Lars Stokstad (Vemod), vocalist Ronny Hansen (Vrede), bassist Erik Normann Aanonsen, guitarist Robert Bordevick, and drummer Henning Børven. The original vocalist Kjetil Molnes (Martyr) and drummer Svein Sander (Armoth) left the band around 2000, and the members of a fellow Norwegian black metal group, Vaakevandring, joined Antestor. The reputable Norwegian extreme metal drummer Jan Axel Blomberg (Hellhammer) played session drums for their 2005 album The Forsaken and Det tapte liv EP. A fourth studio album, Omen, was released in 2012. | Because black metal was associated with Satanism in Antestor's home country Norway, and they are a Christian extreme metal band. |
