A drunk driver who killed a young woman in a head-on crash while checking his mobile phone has been jailed for six years. Craig Eccleston-Todd, 27, was driving home from a night at a pub when he received a text message. As he was reading or replying to it, he veered across the road while driving round a bend and smashed into Rachel Titley’s car coming the other way. Craig Eccleston-Todd, 27 (left) was using his mobile phone when he crashed head-on into the car being driven by Rachel Titley, 28 (right). She died later from her injuries. The head-on crash took place in October 2013. Mr Eccleston-Todd's car was barely recognisable (pictured) Police said Eccleston-Todd had drunk at least three or four pints of beer before getting behind the wheel. He was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving at Portsmouth Crown Court yesterday. Miss Titley, a 28-year-old solicitor’s clerk from Cowes, Isle of Wight, had also spent the evening with friends at a pub but had not drunk any alcohol, police said. She was driving responsibly and there was ‘nothing she could have done to avoid the collision’, they added. Lindsay Pennell, prosecuting, said: ‘Craig Eccleston-Todd’s driving resulted in the tragic death of a young woman, Rachel Titley, a death that could have been avoided. ‘Mr Eccleston-Todd took the decision to pick up his mobile phone whilst driving and, either reading or replying to this text message, was so distracted that he failed to negotiate a left-hand bend, crossing the central white line into the path of Miss Titley’s oncoming car. Miss Titley was pulled the wreckage of her Daihatsu Cuore but died later from her injuries in hospital. ‘Miss Titley [had] a bright future ahead of her. She was also returning home having spent an enjoyable evening with friends and was driving responsibly. ‘She had arranged to contact her friends when she got home to confirm that she had arrived safely. Her friends sadly never heard from her after they parted company. ‘Miss Titley’s death in these circumstances reiterates the danger of using a hand-held mobile phone whilst driving.’ Police were unable to take breath or blood tests from Eccleston-Todd immediately, but in tests several hours after the accident he was only marginally under the drink-drive limit. The judge agreed with police that he would have been over the limit at the time his red Citroen hit Miss Titley’s blue Daihatsu Cuore on a road near Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, on October 11, 2013. His phone records showed he was also texting around the time of the crash. PC Mark Furse, from Hampshire constabulary’s serious collision investigation unit, said: 'Our thoughts are with Rachel's family at this time. She had been out with friends at a pub in Shalfleet that evening, but had not had any alcohol. 'Our investigation showed that there was nothing she could have done to avoid the collision and sadly it cost her her life. 'Mr Eccleston-Todd had left work in Yarmouth and met with friends at a pub where he drank at least three to four pints of lager. He hadn't long left the pub to return home when the collision occurred at around 9.30pm. 'We weren't able to take breath or blood tests from him immediately and although blood taken several hours after the collision showed he was marginally under the limit, we maintain he would have been over the limit at the time of the collision and in summing up today, the judge agreed. 'The analysis of his phone records showed that he was texting on his phone around the time of the collision so it's highly likely this would also have contributed to his dangerous driving and loss of control.' Eccleston-Todd was found guilty of causing death by dangerous driving following a trial at Portsmouth Crown Court (pictured) He added: 'Mr Eccleston-Todd will now spend six years behind bars, but Rachel's family have lost her forever. 'I hope this will make people think twice before drinking any alcohol and getting behind the wheel, or using a phone once they're on the road. 'The dangers of drink driving and driving whilst using a mobile phone are obvious. Those who continue to do so risk spending a substantial time in prison. This case highlights just how tragic the consequences of committing these offences can be.' ‘Mr Eccleston-Todd will now spend six years behind bars, but Rachel’s family have lost her for ever. I hope this will make people think twice before drinking any alcohol and getting behind the wheel, or using a phone once they’re on the road. This case highlights just how tragic the consequences of committing these offences can be.’ Eccleston-Todd, of Newport, Isle of Wight, was also disqualified from driving for eight years after which he will have to complete an extended re-test.

Culture Club are an English band that was formed in 1981. The band comprised Boy George (lead vocals), Roy Hay (guitar and keyboards), Mikey Craig (bass guitar) and Jon Moss (drums and percussion). They are considered one of the most representative and influential groups of the 1980s. Culture Club sold more than 50 million albums and 100 million singles (including Boy George solo) records worldwide, including 7 million-records awards RIAA certificate in the United States.
The band's second album, Colour by Numbers (UK No. 1, US No. 2), was released in 1983. The first single, "Church of the Poison Mind", featuring backing vocalist Helen Terry, reached the UK and US Top 10. The second single, "Karma Chameleon", gave the band their biggest hit, peaking at No. 1 in the UK (the band's second chart-topper there), where it became the best selling single of 1983 and has sold 1.5 million copies there to date. It also peaked at No. 1 in the US for three consecutive weeks, and would ultimately hit No. 1 in 30 countries, thus becoming one of the top twenty best-selling singles of the 1980s sold up 7 million copies worldwide, with one of the most iconic images of Boy George on the cover shot by photographer David Levine. The album Colour by Numbers would spawn more hits including "Miss Me Blind" (#5 US), "It's a Miracle" (#4 UK, No. 13 US), and "Victims" (#3 UK), and sold four million copies in the US and another five million worldwide at its time of release. The album gave Culture Club the distinction of being the first group in music history to have an album certified diamond in Canada (for sales of one million copies in that country). The band also won the 1984 Brit Award for Best Group and the Grammy Award for Best New Artist, where George gave a speech via satellite stating, "Thanks America, you've got style, you've got taste, and you know a good drag queen when you see one." The group's back-up singer, Helen Terry, began work on her solo album, for which George and Hay wrote the song "Love Lies Lost". The pair also wrote "Passing Friend" for the Beach Boys' album. Culture Club wrote two songs for the soundtrack to the movie Electric Dreams. George and Hay wrote "The Dream" and "Love Is Love", with the latter being released as a single in Canada and Japan, the E.P "Love is Love" became a major hit in Japan. George also collaborated on the song "Electric Dreams", sung by P. P. Arnold. The song was written with Phil Pickett (former member of the 1970s band Sailor) who had also co-written "Karma Chameleon" and frequently played keyboards for the group. Despite Culture Club's commercial success, there were significant pressures within the band. George was using drugs with money from his new-found fame. George and Moss were also romantically involved with each other, which was unknown to the public and the media at the time. Their relationship lasted for over four years and was often turbulent, with alleged physical and verbal abuse. Their constant arguments and the pressure to hide the relationship from the public started to take its toll on the band.

News article:
If she scores this jaw-dropping book deal, Lena Dunham won't be just one of the "Girls" anymore.
Bidding for Dunham's upcoming book skyrocketed to $3.6 million on Wednesday, according to Deadline.com's Mike Fleming. Fleming reports that this number could climb even higher:
The numbers for the book of advice and anecdotes from the 26-year old creator of the HBO series Girls should go even higher as publishers see her as an influential creative voice for young women. She met yesterday with editors. Stay tuned.
Dunham's literary agent Kim Witherspoon of InkWell Management is working on the deal, which should be finalized soon, according to Deadline.com. Witherspoon is an ideal agent to contend for Dunham's deal, as she herself founded an agency at 26 years old and now represents the likes of Sophie Kinsella, Lionel Shriver and Anthony Bourdain, the New York Observer notes.
Slate's David Haglund reported on Monday that Dunham's book deal had a set an "in-house floor of $1 Million” for U.S. rights to the book. Dunham told the online magazine: “There is nothing gutsier to me than a person announcing that their story is one that deserves to be told, especially if that person is a woman.”
Dunham's book, tentatively titled "Not That Kind of Girl: Advice by Lena Dunham," is a collection of essays with an advice motif.
"In the intro, Dunham is self-deprecating about the idea that she has any wisdom to share, but says that if the book can help anyone avoid some of the mistakes she’s made it will be worth it," according to Slate. The proposal says the work will include candid accounts of "losing her virginity, trying to eat well (detailed diet journal included), obsessing about death, and so on, along with tips about how to stay focused on work, how not to ruin a potential relationship, and what have you."
Dunham's potential multi-million dollar deal is certainly impressive addition to her list of accomplishments. The 26-year-old filmmaker and actress has written for The New Yorker and Rookie. Her feature-length film "Tiny Furniture" won Best Narrative Feature at the 2010 South by Southwest festival. ||||| Lena Dunham’s proposal for the book Not That Kind Of Girl reached $3.6 million last night.

She met yesterday with editors. Stay tuned.
Get Deadline news and alerts sent to your inbox. ||||| The Girls creator and star Lena Dunham had the honor of attending Fortune’s Most Powerful Women Summit earlier this week and in an interview with CNN’s Soledad O’Brien, she revealed some details about what is to come for her hit HBO series.
Dunham has come into the spotlight incredibly fast since Girls premiered last April. Having been nominated for multiple prestigious Emmys, it is hard to believe that the show even has critics.
But O’Brien pointed out in their interview, of which Fortune has the whole transcript, that some critics have found the show elitist for following four white girls.
“In the second season there are a multitude of new characters who enter. Some are people of color, some are not, some are Caucasian, because I went to the actors who I wanted to work with,” Dunham said. “I don't care about satisfying the critics, but I care about satisfying my viewers. And I know I have viewers who are women of color who want to see themselves reflected on screen. So, that's what matters to me.”
The Huffington Post reported last May that Donald Glover was seen on set filming for the second season of Girls, and it's speculated that it was because of the criticisms.
Girls is expected to return in January 2013 on HBO. |||||

The modern English noun Greek (Old English Grecas or Crecas) is derived from the Latin Graeci, which in turn originates from Ancient Greek Graikos (Graikos). It seems that the word is related with the Greek word geron geron, "old man" (from the PIE base *gerh2-, "to grow old") via Proto-Greek *gera-, "old age"--also related to Mycenean Greek kera /geras/, "gift of honour". The Germanic languages borrowed the name with an initial k sound, which was probably their initial sound closest to the Latin g (Goth. Kreks). Aristotle used the term Graikos related with Hellenes (Meteorologica I xiv) and claimed that it was the name originally used by the Illyrians for the Dorians in Epirus from Graii native name of the people of Epirus. He places Ancient Hellas in the region of Achelous river around Dodona where in his opinion the great deluge of Deucalion must have occurred. The priests of Zeus in Dodona were called Selloi which could lead to Sellanes (like Akarnanes) and then to Hellanes-Hellenes. However the toponyms and the Greek tradition indicate that it is more possible that the homeland of the Greeks was originally in central Greece and that the name was probably Pre-Dorian. A Greek legend is referring to an older deluge of Ogyges in Boeotia, in the region occupied by the Minyans which are considered autochthonous or Proto-Greek speaking people. The region outside of Attica including Boeotia was called Graike and the word Ogyges related with ocean came to mean "from earliest days." Homer is referring to Hellenes as a relative small tribe in Phthia in central Greece (Achaea Pthiotis). In the Parian Chronicle is mentioned that Phthia was the homeland of Hellenes and that this name was given to those previously called Graikoi (Graikoi). In Greek mythology, Hellen, the patriarch of Hellenes, was son of Deucalion (who ruled around Phthia) and Pyrrha, the only survivors after the great deluge. Hesiod is referring to Graecus son of Pandora, who was sister of Hellen. Alcman mentions that the mothers of Hellenes were Graikoi. The German classical historian Georg Busolt (1850-1920) derives the name from Graikos,"inhabitant of Graea, a town on the coast of Boeotia. The name Graea (graia) is derived from Proto-Greek grau-j-, "old lady". Homer, while reciting the Boeotian forces in the Iliad's Catalogue of Ships, provides the first known reference to a region named Graea, and Pausanias mentions that the ancient city of Tanagra was for a time called Graea, adding that "no one knows where this Graia really was; Aristotle thought it was near Oropus, further east on the same coast as Delion." Busolt claimed that the name was given by the Romans originally to the Greek colonists from Graea who helped to found Cumae the important city in southern Italy where the Latins first encountered the Greeks and then to all Greeks. According to Rene Olivier, in the French language the word grec (Greek) is sometimes also used as an ethnic slur meaning fraudster (in contrast with hellenique which has no negative connotations).

Plant responses to climate and other environmental changes can inform our understanding of how these changes affect ecosystem function and productivity. For example, plant phenology can be a useful proxy for temperature in historical climatology, and the biological impact of climate change and global warming. Palynology, the analysis of fossil pollen deposits in sediments from thousands or millions of years ago allows the reconstruction of past climates. Estimates of atmospheric CO2 concentrations since the Palaeozoic have been obtained from stomatal densities and the leaf shapes and sizes of ancient land plants. Ozone depletion can expose plants to higher levels of ultraviolet radiation-B (UV-B), resulting in lower growth rates. Moreover, information from studies of community ecology, plant systematics, and taxonomy is essential to understanding vegetation change, habitat destruction and species extinction.

"Ministers have left it too late and until they face up to the fundamental causes - the collapse of social care and front-line job losses - the NHS will continue to struggle.
"This is further proof you can't trust David Cameron with the NHS. We can't have another year in the NHS like the last one - he needs to urgently get a grip."
Writing in the Daily Telegraph, Mr Hunt, who will outline proposed changes to ease pressure on stretched emergency departments, said: "A&E staff [now] know some patients better than their own GPs."
He told the BBC the government had "plans for 2,000 more GPs" and he would be "looking to see if that's enough".
Mr Hunt said it had become "impossible" for GPs to oversee their patients' treatment throughout the health and social care system.
He added: "I think it will take about four years to undo the damage done by those changes in 2004 but at least if we can undo it for the most frail and vulnerable older people next year, that will be an important step in the right direction."
"We need a much better way for vulnerable old people to journey through the NHS," Mr Hunt wrote in the Telegraph.
"They need someone from the service to be keeping tabs on them and championing them through the system all the time - and making sure they're a name, not a number, whether or not they are in hospital.
"As a member of the public I would like that responsible person to be my GP - but of course they will need support from many others, including our dedicated district nurses."
He added: "Since the last government's misguided changes to the GP contract, it's become easier to go to A&E and harder to go and see a GP."
Dr Gerada said GPs worked very long days, and even at night they were "delivering more care than most of the NHS".
She said the system was still working, but added: "It's working less well now, I'm afraid, than since [before] the massive cuts that we've seen, and also the enormous top-down reorganisation that we've just had."
Speaking about the health secretary's comments, she said: "I'm sure Mr Hunt regrets saying that emergency doctors know their patients better than their GPs because there's blatantly no evidence for that."
But in response, Mr Hunt said it was true that some patients know A&E doctors better than their GP. | Elderly people often feel there is no reliable alternative to hospital, Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt said, as he called for improved care from GPs. | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_noopt |

For the main course we split the 32.oz steak, in my top five steaks of all time, a split order of king crab legs and lobster tail. All of it was amazing. It came with a side of mashed potato goodness and we threw in the broccoli. It was all fantastic, each bite was better than the last.

Summarize this article in one sentence.
If your meat has been in the freezer longer than you can remember, you'll probably want to toss it, just to be on the safe side. If not, there are some telltale signs your food has gone bad. The meat looks discolored. There’s a nasty smell coming from the packaging. The package shows signs of freezer burn (ice on the inside). Though it is possible to defrost meat without a container, you'll save yourself a lot of clean up time by using one. Typically, glass bowls are the best, safest containers to use in a microwave. If you’re planning to use a plastic container, check out the original packaging to make sure it's safe for microwave use. Some other items considered unsafe for the microwave include brown paper bags, aluminum foil, and single-use plastic containers (ex: the kind that take-out food comes in). Basically, if you're not sure, don't use it. If the meat is still in its original packaging, it probably has a label that tells you exactly how much it weighs. If it doesn't, you’ll need to weigh it yourself. The best tool for weighing meat is a kitchen scale, which gives more specific weights (down to fractions of a lb/kg) than bigger scales. Many materials used to package frozen meats should definitely not be microwaved, so be sure to toss everything but the meat itself before you begin cooking.
Summary: | Check the meat for signs of spoilage. Find a microwave-safe container. Weigh the meat. Remove the meat from its wrapper. | Flan2021 | gem/wiki_lingua_english_en:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Background: Loaded (also known as Duff McKagan's Loaded) is an American rock band from Seattle, Washington, formed in 1999. Since 2001, the band's line-up has included vocalist and rhythm guitarist Duff McKagan (Velvet Revolver and Guns N' Roses), lead guitarist Mike Squires (formerly of Nevada Bachelors and Alien Crime Syndicate) and bassist Jeff Rouse (formerly of Alien Crime Syndicate, Sirens Sister, and Vendetta Red). Since 2009, Isaac Carpenter (formerly of Loudermilk, Gosling, and The Exies) has been the band's drummer, replacing Geoff Reading (formerly of New American Shame and Green Apple Quick Step). McKagan first formed Loaded to be his touring band in support of his unreleased solo album Beautiful Disease.
Context: Duff McKagan was previously a member of Guns N' Roses from the mid-1980s to late 1990s. Guns N' Roses achieved international success, going on to sell over 100 million albums worldwide, but the strain between singer Axl Rose and the rest of the band led to a number of members leaving or being fired, with McKagan departing in 1997. McKagan moved back to Seattle, reforming previous group 10 Minute Warning, releasing one self-titled album on Sub Pop in 1998, before recording his second solo album Beautiful Disease the same year. Featuring collaborations with former Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin, former Black Flag singer Dez Cadena and his former Guns N' Roses band mates Slash and Izzy Stradlin, Beautiful Disease was scheduled to be released through Geffen in 1999. McKagan formed Loaded, initially as The Gentlemen, to be his band for the tour supporting the album. With McKagan performing lead vocals and bass duties, Loaded's line-up consisted of guitarists Dez Cadena and Michael Barragan as well as drummer Taz Bentley. McKagan began promoting the album; however, following the merger between Geffen and Interscope Records, he was dropped from the label and lost all commercial rights to release the record with only a few promo copies being leaked. Loaded continued to tour and released a live album, Episode 1999: Live, independently, which was recorded and mixed by Nick Raskulinecz. They re-recorded half of Beautiful Disease and received offers from four labels. However, they disbanded before the end of the year, with McKagan and Bentley becoming part of Izzy Stradlin's rhythm section for his tour of Japan supporting Ride On.

As others have mentioned, all the women that go nude in this film are mostly absolutely gorgeous. The plot very ably shows the hypocrisy of the female libido. When men are around they want to be pursued, but when no "men" are around, they become the pursuers of a 14 year old boy. And the boy becomes a man really fast (we should all be so lucky at this age!). He then gets up the courage to pursue his true love.

Tara Ann VanDerveer (born June 26, 1953) is an American basketball coach who has been the head women's basketball coach at Stanford University since 1985. Designated the Setsuko Ishiyama Director of Women's Basketball, VanDerveer led the Stanford Cardinal to two NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Championships: in 1990 and 1992. She stepped away from the Stanford program for a year to serve as the U.S. national team head coach at the 1996 Olympic Games. VanDerveer is the 1990 Naismith National Coach of the Year and a ten-time Pac-12 Coach of the Year.
After completing college, VanDerveer took a year off, with a plan to return to law school. When she ran out of money she returned home. When her parents realized she was doing little beyond playing chess and sleeping, they urged her to help with her sister Marie's basketball team. Her sister was five years younger, and by the time Marie reached high school, the school had basketball teams for girls. The experience was exasperating in some ways, as the girls did not take it seriously, but VanDerveer realized coaching was something she loved. VanDerveer sent out resumes to twenty schools, looking for a graduate assistant job, which is an unpaid position. She only got two responses, one of which was for Ohio State, where the athletic director had remembered her from Indiana. To prepare herself, she attended a coaching clinic taught by Knight. When she had attended his practices, she had stayed out of sight, but enrolled in a class, she followed her parents advice and sat up front. One of the coaches asked if she was lost. Knight embarrassed her with one of his questions, but she didn't stop attending, although she moved back a few rows. She was hired as an assistant coach to the varsity and the head coach of the JV. In her first year, she coached the JV team to an 8-0 season. That caught the attention of Marianne Stanley at Old Dominion, who offered her an assistant coaching position. VanDerveer wanted to finish her master's degree, so accepted a paid position at Ohio State, at a salary less than a quarter of the Old Dominion offer.

Select the correct sentiment of the following review: This is a film which should be seen by anybody interested in, effected by, or suffering from an eating disorder. It is an amazingly accurate and sensitive portrayal of bulimia in a teenage girl, its causes and its symptoms. The girl is played by one of the most brilliant young actresses working in cinema today, Alison Lohman, who was later so spectacular in 'Where the Truth Lies'. I would recommend that this film be shown in all schools, as you will never see a better on this subject. Alison Lohman is absolutely outstanding, and one marvels at her ability to convey the anguish of a girl suffering from this compulsive disorder. If barometers tell us the air pressure, Alison Lohman tells us the emotional pressure with the same degree of accuracy. Her emotional range is so precise, each scene could be measured microscopically for its gradations of trauma, on a scale of rising hysteria and desperation which reaches unbearable intensity. Mare Winningham is the perfect choice to play her mother, and does so with immense sympathy and a range of emotions just as finely tuned as Lohman's. Together, they make a pair of sensitive emotional oscillators vibrating in resonance with one another. This film is really an astonishing achievement, and director Katt Shea should be proud of it. The only reason for not seeing it is if you are not interested in people. But even if you like nature films best, this is after all animal behaviour at the sharp edge. Bulimia is an extreme version of how a tormented soul can destroy her own body in a frenzy of despair. And if we don't sympathise with people suffering from the depths of despair, then we are dead inside.

Image caption Alistair Grimason died after being hit by a stray bullet while he was sleeping in his pram
A man who killed a Scottish toddler in a shootout at a Turkish cafe in 2003 has been shot dead at his own wedding.
Two-year-old Alistair Grimason was hit by a bullet as he slept in his pram in the Aegean seaside town of Foca.
Daimi Akyuz, 46, was jailed for life for killing the child and another man during the shootout.
Akyuz was released last week but, according to reports in the Turkish media, was gunned down at his own wedding in Izmir on Saturday.
Image caption David Grimason said he had expected Akyuz to spend a long time in prison
The toddler's father, David Grimason, from East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire, said: "He was sentenced to 58 years with a maximum of 36, so I really expected he was going to spend a long time in jail.
"I don't take any joy in what has happened. I would rather that he was in prison and being punished for what he did.
"I was told that he was at his wedding and stepped outside for a cigarette and someone came along and shot him.
"It's a big story over in Turkey because the man that killed Alistair has been killed in the same manner I suppose."
Image caption Daimi Akyuz was arrested and sentenced for killing the toddler
Mr Grimason has since split up from Alistair's Turkish-born mother Ozlem, who has moved back to Izmir.
He added: "Ozlem has moved back to Turkey recently, so there was an opportunity they could have bumped in to each other. It is a horrible thought.
"No-one informed us that he was being let out.
"We were told at the time he would serve his full sentence. They were making an example of him. But here we are 13 and half years later and they let him out.
"We went through months of court cases. It was a tough time for us. But it's worse for his family at the moment, I remember he had two kids.
"They've let him out to be killed."

Alistair had been sleeping peacefully in his pram when he was caught in the crossfire of the gunfight. A stray bullet pierced his lung, killing him instantly.
Akyuz, who was a car salesman, was found guilty in July 2004.
According to Turkish media, police are interviewing five suspects in relation to his shooting.
After the death of Alistair, his parents began campaigning for tighter gun controls.

A man who shot and killed a British toddler in a Turkish cafe almost 14 years ago has been shot dead at his own wedding.
Two-year-old Alistair Grimason was hit by a bullet as he slept in his pram after a gunfight broke out in a cafe in the Aegean seaside town of Foca in 2003.
Daimi Akyuz, 46, was jailed for life in 2004 at a court in Izmir for killing Alistair and another man during the shootout.
He was released early and six days later on Saturday, according to reports in the Turkish media, was gunned down at his own wedding in Izmir.
The toddler's dad David Grimason, from East Kilbride, South Lanarkshire said: "He was sentenced to 58 years with a maximum of 36, so I really expected he was going to spend a long time in jail.
"I don't take any joy in what has happened. I would rather that he was in prison and being punished for what he did.

"We went through months of court cases. It was a tough time for us. But it's worse for his family at the moment, I remember he had two kids.
"They've let him out to be killed."
A source in Turkey said prisons are "overflowing" since the attempted coup last year and a number of inmates, who had served more than 10 years, were offered early release.
Alistair had been sleeping peacefully in his pram when he was caught in the crossfire of the gunfight. A stray bullet pierced his lung, killing him instantly.
Ozlem had been enjoying a family day-out while visiting her Turkish parents with the two-year-old.
On the evening of Monday July 7, Ozlem, Alistair and his grandmother had been at a small cafe in Foca, about an hour from Izmir.
Alistair was asleep in his pram as the two women chatted. But the peace was shattered when an argument broke out at another table.
Akyuz, who was a car salesman, pulled a gun on three others and opened fire, killing Ali Bektas, a mobile phone salesman, injuring two other men and killing the toddler.
He was found guilty in July 2004 and sentenced to 58 years, albeit Turkish law meant that he would serve a maximum of 36 years.
According to Turkish media, police are interviewing five suspects in relation to his shooting.
After the death of Alistair, his parents began campaigning for tighter gun controls.
The campaign secured more than 300,000 signatures which were presented to the Turkish parliament in December 2003.

Write a summary. | – Six days after he was released from prison for the shooting death of a 2-year-old boy, a Turkish man was himself shot dead—at his own wedding on Saturday. Daimi Akyuz, 46, had been sentenced to a maximum of 36 years in prison after he opened fire at a cafe in the Turkish town of Foca in 2003, killing one man and injuring two others reportedly seated at his table, reports the Daily Record. Scottish toddler Alistair Grimason was also killed when a stray bullet pierced his lung as he slept in a stroller next to his Turkish mother, reports the BBC. Despite serving less than a third of his sentence, Akyuz was freed late last month; a source says prison overcrowding as a result of last year's failed coup spurred Akyuz's early release. His freedom, however, was swiftly cut short. According to reports, Akyuz was gunned down outside his wedding in Izmir as he smoked a cigarette. Few other details are known, but authorities say they're in the process of interviewing five suspects. "It is ironic—he was not scared to use guns and that is how he was killed himself," says Alistair's father, David Grimason, who has campaigned for tighter gun controls since his son's death, per Yahoo News. But Grimason recalled that Alistair's killer had two children himself, "and they have lost their father. I don't take any joy in what has happened. I would rather that he was in prison and being punished for what he did," he continues. Grimason says his understanding was that Akyuz was to serve the entirety of his sentence. Instead, "they've let him out to be killed." (In the US, a bride lost her life just minutes after her wedding.) | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_noopt |

A statue of singer David Bowie will go up in the town where he first performed as Ziggy Stardust following the success of a crowdfunding campaign.
Article: | More than 650 people pledged sums totalling more than the £100,000 goal, 19 hours before the deadline.
The statue will be put up in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, where Bowie unveiled his Ziggy character and two albums.
Campaigner David Stopps said it was an exciting moment and raising the cash means "the statue will now happen".
More than 650 people pledged sums, from £10 to £6,000, for the bronze sculpture, enabling it to beat Tuesday's deadline to raise the cash.
Mr Stopps said: "We are very grateful to everybody. It's been a Biblical 40 days. The bottom line now is that the statue will happen."
About 30% of the pledges were from outside the UK.
Adele's record company and 80s musician, Howard Jones were among six donators giving £6,000.
Bowie's booking agent, John Giddings born in nearby Hertfordshire pledged £5,000.
Bowie performed as Ziggy during gigs at the town's Friars music venue in the early 1970s.
Bowie played a gig at the club in September 1971 where he gave the world debut of Hunky Dory.
The statue will be sited under arches in the Market Square which Bowie referenced in Five Years, the opening track of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust & The Spiders from Mars album.
The statue is being designed by sculptor, Andrew Sinclair, who has also made commissions for the Queen.
Speakers above the statue will play a Bowie track every hour.
Organisers still have to raise a further £50,000 which they say is "easily possible" through grants and direct donations. | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |
Chicago Cubs
Before signing a developmental agreement with the Kane County Cougars in 2012, the Cubs had a Class A minor league affiliation on two occasions with the Peoria Chiefs (1985–1995 and 2004–2012). Ryne Sandberg managed the Chiefs from 2006 to 2010. In the period between those associations with the Chiefs the club had affiliations with the Dayton Dragons and Lansing Lugnuts. The Lugnuts were often affectionately referred to by Chip Caray as "Steve Stone's favorite team." The 2007 developmental contract with the Tennessee Smokies was preceded by Double A affiliations with the Orlando Cubs and West Tenn Diamond Jaxx.

John Graunt noted that in London over a 35-year period in the 17th century (1628–62), the birth sex ratio was 1.07; while Koreas historical records suggest a birth sex ratio of 1.13, based on 5 million births, in 1920s over a 10-year period. Other historical records from Asia too support James hypothesis. For example, Jiang et al. claim that the birth sex ratio in China was 116–121 over a 100-year period in the late 18th and early 19th centuries; in the 120–123 range in the early 20th century; falling to 112 in the 1930s.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas -- A gun range employee cleaning a weapon accidentally shot and killed a man in Cypress, according to the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
The shooting call was placed shortly after 9 a.m. Tuesday at the Hot Wells Shooting Range on Highway 290 near Barker Cypress.
According to the sheriff's office, the employee was cleaning a hunting rifle when it went off. The bullet went through a wall and then a window, striking a 36-year-old man who was walking into the range.
The victim was rushed to the hospital but was later pronounced dead.
Horses at a property adjacent to the Hot Wells Shooting Range got quite the scare Tuesday morning.
"We had two helicopters that were circling the property. They were focused over by Hot Wells, but the horses were acting a little squirrely with the large helicopter noises and all the extra wind," said Courtney Thornton, who trains and rehabs horses here at this facility on West Drive. She's ridden horses here since 2006.
"We had a horse that was out loose in the arena and the practice pen," Thornton said. "They were running back and forth down the fences probably wondering what was going on. I'm all for everybody being able to own a gun, to have a gun, but it is a little concerning being so close to shooting ranges just with those accidents happening--that's why you have to be safe."
Hot Wells has not commented yet on the incident.

It went off in what they're calling an accidental discharge."The bullet went through the wall of the small range house and struck a patron who was walking through the parking lot," explained Senior Deputy Thomas Gilliland.Life Flight was called and Cummings was taken to Memorial Hermann Downtown, but he didn't make it. In a statement, Hot Wells said:"We simply do not have the words to express the sorrow in our hearts. For 44 years we have operated this facility accident free, yet today we are shaken by tragedy. There is an ongoing investigation into the circumstances that surround this accident, and until that investigation is complete we will have no comment on the accident details. We understand that this accident has, and will continue to affect the lives of many.

Sheriff's spokesman Thomas Gilliland said the bullet from the hunting rifle went through a wall and struck the man who had just got out of his car.
A medical helicopter took the man to a Houston hospital where he died later Tuesday morning.
The victim has not been immediately identified.
KXAN-TV is reporting the shooting took place at about 9:15 a.m. Tuesday at the Hot Wells Shooting Range along Northwest Freeway and Barker Cypress Road.
Gilliland said the shooting appears to be accidental and "doesn't seem to be anything other than that at this point."
He said homicide detectives are questioning range employees and are trying to determine if the shooting was the result of a gun malfunction or human error.

– A 36-year-old man walking toward a gun range was fatally shot Tuesday before he stepped inside. Joshua Cummings had just got out of his vehicle and was walking across the parking lot of Hot Wells Shooting Range near Cypress, Texas, shortly after 9am when a rifle accidentally discharged inside, reports KHOU. Police say a gun range employee in his early 20s had been cleaning a high-caliber hunting rifle when a bullet exited the chamber. "The bullet went through the wall of the small range house and struck [Cummings]," a Harris County sheriff’s deputy tells KTRK. He was flown to a nearby hospital in a helicopter but later died. A sheriff's spokesman says homicide detectives are questioning employees but the shooting appears to be accidental, per NBC 5. It's "just a terrible tragedy," a range employee tells KTRK, which identifies Cummings as a father. "We simply do not have the words to express the sorrow in our hearts," adds Hot Wells in a statement. "For 44 years we have operated this facility accident free, yet today we are shaken by tragedy." The range said it wouldn’t comment on "the accident details" until after an investigation is complete.

Born Florence Annie Bridgwood in Hamilton, Ontario, she was youngest of three children of George Bridgwood, an English-born carriage builder and Charlotte "Lotta" Bridgwood (nee Dunn), a vaudeville actress. Charlotte Bridgwood had emigrated to Canada from Ireland after the Great Famine with her family as a child. She was known professionally as Lotta Lawrence and was the leading lady and director of the Lawrence Dramatic Company. At the age of three, Lawrence made her debut onstage with her mother in a song and dance routine.
Also at Vitagraph was a young actor, Harry Solter, who was looking for "a young, beautiful equestrian girl" to star in a film to be produced by the Biograph Studios under the direction of D.W. Griffith. Griffith, the most prominent producer-director at Biograph Studios, had noticed the beautiful blonde-haired woman in one of Vitagraph's films. Because the film's actors received no mention, Griffith had to make discreet inquiries to learn she was Florence Lawrence and to arrange a meeting. Griffith had intended to give the part to Biograph's leading lady, Florence Turner, but Lawrence managed to convince Solter and Griffith that she was the best suited for the starring role in The Girl and the Outlaw. With the Vitagraph Company, she had been earning $20 a week, working also as a costume seamstress over and above acting. Griffith offered her a job, acting only, for $25 a week. After her success in this role, she appeared as a society belle in Betrayed by a Handprint and as an Indian in The Red Girl. In total, she had parts in most of the 60 films directed by Griffith in 1908. Toward the end of 1908 Lawrence married Harry Solter. Lawrence gained much popularity, but because her name was never publicized, fans began writing the studio asking for it. Even after she had gained wide recognition, particularly after starring in the highly successful Resurrection, Biograph Studios refused to publicly announce her name and fans simply called her "The Biograph Girl". During cinema's formative years, silent screen actors were not named, because studio owners feared that fame might lead to demands for higher wages. She continued to work for Biograph in 1909. Her demand to be paid by the week rather than daily was met, and she received double the normal rate. She achieved great popularity in the "Jones" series, filmdom's first comedy series, in which she played Mrs. Jones in around a dozen films. More popular still were the dramatic love stories in which she co-starred with John R. Cumpson, as Mr. Jones, and Arthur Johnson. The two played husband and wife in The Ingrate, and the adulterous lovers in Resurrection. Lawrence and Solter began to look elsewhere for work, writing to the Essanay Company to offer their services as leading lady and director. Rather than accepting this offer, however, Essanay reported the offer to Biograph's head office, and they were promptly fired.

If your meat has been in the freezer longer than you can remember, you'll probably want to toss it, just to be on the safe side. If not, there are some telltale signs your food has gone bad. The meat looks discolored. There’s a nasty smell coming from the packaging. The package shows signs of freezer burn (ice on the inside). Though it is possible to defrost meat without a container, you'll save yourself a lot of clean up time by using one. Typically, glass bowls are the best, safest containers to use in a microwave. If you’re planning to use a plastic container, check out the original packaging to make sure it's safe for microwave use. Some other items considered unsafe for the microwave include brown paper bags, aluminum foil, and single-use plastic containers (ex: the kind that take-out food comes in). Basically, if you're not sure, don't use it. If the meat is still in its original packaging, it probably has a label that tells you exactly how much it weighs. If it doesn't, you’ll need to weigh it yourself. The best tool for weighing meat is a kitchen scale, which gives more specific weights (down to fractions of a lb/kg) than bigger scales. Many materials used to package frozen meats should definitely not be microwaved, so be sure to toss everything but the meat itself before you begin cooking. | Check the meat for signs of spoilage.

– Newborns who sleep on animal fur in the first months of life aren't as likely to come down with asthma and allergies later in life, a new study suggests. Researchers aren't talking about snuggling up with a dog or cat—they mean, for example, a sheepskin rug or blanket, explains Time. The study is out of Germany, and such bedding was common there when the kids were born in the 1990s. Followup studies over the years found that those who slept on animal fur in their first three months of life had a 79% lower risk of developing asthma by the age of 6, and a 41% lower risk by the age of 10, reports Science World. They were also less likely to development ailments such as hay fever. "Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma," says one of the researchers via Eureka Alert. "An animal skin might also be a reservoir for various kinds of microbes, following similar mechanisms as has been observed in rural environments." Scientists still don't know what causes asthma—it's all about treating symptoms—and results like this can point the way toward future research, says Medical News Today.

Munich, Germany: Sleeping on animal fur in the first three months of life might reduce the risk of asthma in later childhood a new study has found.
The new research, presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in Munich today (8 September 2014), suggests that exposure to the microbial environment in animal skin and fur could have a protective effect against asthma and allergies.
Previous studies have suggested that exposure to a wider range of environments fromyoung age could be protective against asthma and allergies. These findings have not been confirmed conclusively in urban settings. In this new study, researchers investigated children from a city environment who had been exposed to animal skin by sleeping on the material shortly after birth.
Data from a German birth cohort called Lisaplus were used. The cohort included over 3,000 healthy newborns who were mainly recruited in 1998.
The researchers collected information on exposure to animal skin during the first three months of life, along with information on the health of children until the age of 10 years. Information on 2,441 children was used in the study, with 55% of those included sleeping on animal skin in the first three months of life.
The results showed that sleeping on animal skin was associated with a reduced risk of a number of factors connected to asthma. The chance of having asthma at the age of 6 years was 79% lower in children who had slept on animal skin after birth compared with those who were not exposed to animal skin. The risk decreased to 41% by the age of 10.
Dr Christina Tischer, from the Helmholtz Zentrum München Research Centre, said: "Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma. An animal skin might also be a reservoir for various kinds of microbes, following similar mechanisms as has been observed in rural environments. Our findings have confirmed that it is crucial to study further the actual microbial environment within the animal fur to confirm these associations."
### ||||| Animal fur might be protective against asthma and allergies, a new study finds.
The research , just presented at the European Respiratory Society International Congress, examined data from 2,441 German children and found an association between sleeping on animal fur, like sheepskin rugs or throws, during their first three months and a decreased risk of asthma later in childhood, by age 10. Snoozing on fur was also associated with a lower risk of hay fever and wheezing.
Using animal fur as bedding was a common practice in Germany during the 1990s when the data was collected—about 55% of the children examined had slept on animal fur. Sheepskin is among the most popular kind, said lead study author Christina Tischer of the German Research Center for Environmental Health in an email.
The fur rugs aren’t typically treated with pesticides or strong chemical agents, she said. “We think that this animal fur might act as a reservoir for diverse kind of microbial components which [accumulate] over time within the animal fur,” she wrote.
Other studies have shown that diverse microbial environments seem to be protective against allergies, supporting the “hygiene hypothesis” that our hypersanitized lives weaken our defenses by not exposing them to enough bacteria to build proper immunity. The live kind may work, too. If you don’t have a spare bear rug in which to swaddle your infant, other studies have shown that infant exposure to pets might make infants less prone to allergies. ||||| Researchers have found that babies sleeping on animal fur for their first 3 months of life could have a reduced risk of developing asthma later in childhood.
The findings of the research will be presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in Munich, Germany today. The study suggests that if a baby is exposed to the microbial environment found in animal skin and fur it could derive a degree of protection from asthma and allergies from it.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that asthma is one of the most common chronic diseases experienced by children. It is characterized by wheezing, breathlessness and chest tightening, and can affect adults equally.
According to the CDC, 9.3% of children and 8% of non-institutionalized adults in the US have asthma. In 2010, asthma was estimated to have caused 1.8 million visits to emergency departments. These numbers are increasing every year.
At present, nobody knows what causes the majority of asthma cases or how to cure it. Treatment focuses on alleviating the symptoms, but this new research could prove to be a gateway toward improving what is known about the condition.
Sleeping on animal fur
Previous research into this area had indicated that exposure to a variety of different environments from a young age could help defend the body against the onset of asthma and allergies. These findings, however, had yet to be fully confirmed within a city environment.
Could exposure to animal fur while sleeping help protect babies from asthma and allergies? Could exposure to animal fur while sleeping help protect babies from asthma and allergies?
As a result, the researchers chose to investigate children from an urban setting who had been exposed to animal skin by sleeping on it for the first 3 months after birth. They used data from a German birth cohort that included over 3,000 newly born children predominantly recruited in 1998.
The researchers collected information on the health of the children until they reached 10 years of age. The study utilized data on a total of 2,441 children; of these, 55% slept on animal skin for the first 3 months of their lives.
They found that the risk of a number of factors connected with asthma was reduced for those sleeping on animal skin. Children who had slept on animal skin were 79% less likely to have developed asthma by the age of 6 than children who had not been exposed to animal skin.
By the age of 10, the risk of developing asthma had decreased further to 41%.
'A reservoir of microbes'
"Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma," said Dr. Christina Tischer of the Helmholtz Zentrum München Research Centre.
"An animal skin might also be a reservoir for various kinds of microbes, following similar mechanisms as has been observed in rural environments. Our findings have confirmed that it is crucial to study further the actual microbial environment within the animal fur to confirm these associations."
Although observational, the study suggests a focus for future research. While we are still uncertain of what causes asthma and how it can be cured, research such as this and a study into newborn exposure to dirt and germs can help inform preventative strategies for both asthma and allergies.
The ERS International Congress this year runs from 6-10 September. The theme for this year's conference is "Breathe Clean Air." The ERS hope that the process of learning more about the quality of air will help people to protect themselves and their respiratory systems in the best way possible.
Previously, Medical News Today reported on a study that suggested that stress during pregnancy could be linked to the child's asthma risk. ||||| Baby Food From Beech-Nut Nutrition Recalled Due To Broken Glass In Jars (Photo : Flickr/Dustin Liebenow)

Previous studies have shown that exposure to a wider range of environments from a young age can actually help children protect themselves against asthma and allergies. While these findings haven't been confirmed conclusively in urban settings, this latest study just adds to the growing body of evidence.
In this case, scientists examined data from a German birth cohort, which included over 3,000 healthy newborns who were mainly recruited in 1998. The researchers collected information on exposure to animal skin during the first three months of life, along with information on the health of the children until the age of 10 years. In all, information on 2,441 children was used in this study, and 55 percent of those included slept on animal skin in the first three months of life.
So what did they find? It turns out that sleeping on animal skin was associated with a reduced risk of a number of factors connected to asthma. In fact, the chance of having asthma at the age of six was 79 percent lower in children who had slept on animal skin after birth compared with those who were not exposed to animal skin. The risk decreased to 41 percent by the age of 10.
"Previous studies have suggested that microbes found in rural settings can protect from asthma," said Christina Tischer, one of the researchers, in a news release. "An animal skin might also be a reservoir for various kinds of microbes, following similar mechanisms as has been observed in rural environments. Our findings have confirmed that it is crucial to study further the actual microbial environment within the animal fur to confirm these associations."
The findings were presented at the European Respiratory Society (ERS) International Congress in Munich. ||||| | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

Choose the correct sentiment from candidates:
Options: a. negative. b. positive.
TEXT:Okay, you have:
Penelope Keith as Miss Herringbone-Tweed, B.B.E. (Backbone of England.) She's killed off in the first scene - that's right, folks; this show has no backbone!
Peter O'Toole as Ol' Colonel Cricket from The First War and now the emblazered Lord of the Manor.
Joanna Lumley as the ensweatered Lady of the Manor, 20 years younger than the colonel and 20 years past her own prime but still glamourous (Brit spelling, not mine) enough to have a toy-boy on the side. It's alright, they have Col. Cricket's full knowledge and consent (they guy even comes 'round for Christmas!) Still, she's considerate of the colonel enough to have said toy-boy her own age (what a gal!)
David McCallum as said toy-boy, equally as pointlessly glamourous as his squeeze. Pilcher couldn't come up with any cover for him within the story, so she gave him a hush-hush job at the Circus.
and finally:
Susan Hampshire as Miss Polonia Teacups, Venerable Headmistress of the Venerable Girls' Boarding-School, serving tea in her office with a dash of deep, poignant advice for life in the outside world just before graduation. Her best bit of advice: "I've only been to Nancherrow (the local Stately Home of England) once. I thought it was very beautiful but, somehow, not part of the real world." Well, we can't say they didn't warn us.
Ah, Susan - time was, your character would have been running the whole show. They don't write 'em like that any more. Our loss, not yours.
So - with a cast and setting like this, you have the re-makings of "Brideshead Revisited," right?
Wrong! They took these 1-dimensional supporting roles because they paid so well. After all, acting is one of the oldest temp-jobs there is (YOU name another!)
First warning sign: lots and lots of backlighting. They get around it by shooting outdoors - "hey, it's just the sunlight!"
Second warning sign: Leading Lady cries a lot. When not crying, her eyes are moist. That's the law of romance novels: Leading Lady is "dewy-eyed."
Henceforth, Leading Lady shall be known as L.L.
Third warning sign: L.L. actually has stars in her eyes when she's in love. Still, I'll give Emily Mortimer an award just for having to act with that spotlight in her eyes (I wonder . did they use contacts?)
And lastly, fourth warning sign: no on-screen female character is "Mrs." She's either "Miss" or "Lady."
When all was said and done, I still couldn't tell you who was pursuing whom and why. I couldn't even tell you what was said and done.
To sum up: they all live through World War II without anything happening to them at all.
OK, at the end, L.L. finds she's lost her parents to the Japanese prison camps and baby sis comes home catatonic. Meanwhile (there's always a "meanwhile,") some young guy L.L. had a crush on (when, I don't know) comes home from some wartime tough spot and is found living on the street by Lady of the Manor (must be some street if SHE's going to find him there.) Both war casualties are whisked away to recover at Nancherrow (SOMEBODY has to be "whisked away" SOMEWHERE in these romance stories!)
Great drama.

During the early months of World War I, Kars was a key military objective for the Ottoman army. Ismail Enver who pushed the Ottoman Empire into World War I, needed a victory against the Russians to defend his position. He collected an army on the eastern border. The army was badly defeated under Enver's command at the Battle of Sarikamish January 2, 1915 against Nikolai Nikolaevich Yudenich. This defeat was more due to the winter weather and bad planning, given the fact that Russians were actually preparing to evacuate Kars. With the loss of the eastern army, Ottoman defenses crumbled with further small battles and the Russian army succeeded in advancing as far west as Erzincan. The collapse of the Russian army after the 1917 revolution left only thinly spread Armenian units to resist the inevitable Ottoman counter-attack. Before the end of World War I in 1918, the Ottoman army reformed with what was left from the middle-east branch and tried to build a line between whatever seemed to be left on their east border. The newly declared First Republic of Armenia captured Kars in April 1918, which was eventually handed back by the future Soviet administration. That same year in March, the Baku Commune was established in the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. The commune later became the Centrocaspian Dictatorship, in turn conquered by the Islamic Army of the Caucasus, then shortly by the Triple Entente and finally the Bolsheviks. Defeat on other fronts caused the Ottoman Empire to surrender and withdraw forces. Both the Armenian and Azerbaijani Republics ended up being part of the Soviet Union in 1920.
Based on the above article, answer a question. How many months after the Baku Commune was established was Kars captured? | 1 | Flan2021 | drop:2.0.0 | zs_opt |
