What are the important points about Lunar eclipse in the given text? | A lunar eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the moon to be darkened. Such alignment occurs during an eclipse season, approximately every six months, during the full moon phase, when the Moon's orbital plane is closest to the plane of the Earth's orbit.
This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly or very closely aligned (in syzygy) with Earth between the other two, which can happen only on the night of a full moon when the Moon is near either lunar node. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to the lunar node | 1. When the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow, causing the moon to be darkened an astronomical event occurs which is known as Lunar Eclipse.
2. When moon’s orbit is closet to the earth , during the full moon phase, lunar eclipse occurs.
3. Lunar eclipse can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and Moon are exactly aligned with Earth.
4. The type and length of a lunar eclipse depend on how close the moon is to the lunar node. |

In the late 1980s,[timeframe?] Hindi cinema experienced another period of stagnation, with a decline in box office turnout, due to increasing violence, decline in musical melodic quality, and rise in video piracy, leading to middle-class family audiences abandoning theatres. The turning point came with Indian blockbuster Disco Dancer (1982) which began the era of disco music in Indian cinema. Lead actor Mithun Chakraborty and music director Bappi Lahiri had the highest number of mainstream Indian hit movies that decade. At the end of the decade, Yash Chopra's Chandni (1989) created a new formula for Bollywood musical romance films, reviving the genre and defining Hindi cinema in the years that followed.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Lewis Hamilton had to abandon plans to wear a one-off helmet for this week's Malaysian Grand Prix. Regulations for the new season state that a driver must stick to the same helmet design for the entirety of the campaign. Hamilton brought a different lid to the second installment of this year's championship in Sepang, but despite showing it off at the back of the Mercedes garage, opted against wearing it. Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton will not be allowed to wear a novelty helmet for the Malaysian Grand Prix . Mercedes' Hamilton in action during the practice section at the Sepang International Circuit on Friday . Hamilton, who overcame engine problems in the morning session to end the day top of the timesheets, said: 'I had a special helmet made this weekend to celebrate Petronas and Malaysia as I love this race, but due to the FIA's new rule of not allowing drivers to change their helmet designs, I cannot wear it.' The FIA installed the new regulation for drivers to be easily identified by the sport's fans and track-side spectators. The controversial ruling was however, branded a 'joke' by four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel who has sported various different helmet designs throughout his career.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Hong Kong (CNN)It wasn't supposed to work. But China's Great Firewall -- a massive Internet surveillance and content control system -- has, in many respects, been an unparalleled success. China has Internet companies worth billions of dollars and more web users than the population of the United States -- all while still being able to block information it deems counter to its interests. And now, some fear, the model is going global. "If you are sitting in Beijing, what's the problem?" asks Bill Bishop, China watcher and author of the Sinocism China newsletter in the latest episode of "On China." "You are still in power, you have 650 million Internet users, you have billions of dollars of economic value going to the Internet everyday, you've used the Internet to increase government transparency, investors love us and they can't throw enough money at our companies that have more than half a trillion dollars in market capitalization," says Bishop. Soon after China tip-toed onto the Internet in the late 1980s, it laid down the foundation of the Great Firewall but critics asserted that an Internet with Chinese characteristics would be no Internet at all. During a high-profile media tour in Beijing in 1999, MIT Media Lab founder and technology pundit Nicholas Negroponte declared that a "healthy disrespect for authority" was required for any successful Internet industry. A year later, then-U.S. President Bill Clinton announced that "liberty will spread by cell phone and cable modem" and that any attempt to control the Internet in China would be "like trying to nail Jell-O to the wall." Well folks, it's now 2015 and China has done the impossible. It's nailed the Jell-O. China has proven it can have its Great Firewall and enjoy great prosperity too. Lokman Tsui, associate professor at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and former head of free expression at Google Asia-Pacific, says that most Chinese are happy with the status quo. "Their lives have noticeably improved," he says. "The model has worked so far." Currently home to the world's largest Internet market, China is also home to some of the world's most valuable Internet companies including e-commerce giant Alibaba and Tencent, now estimated to be worth $66.1 billion. The government has fostered the development of the Internet by offering incentives for local entrepreneurs while building walls to keep big Western rivals out. The ban on Western social media sites like YouTube and Facebook has also given home court advantage to China's own Internet stars like Youku and WeChat. And contrary to Negroponte's declaration, respecting the strict rules that govern China's Internet has not gotten in the way of innovation as Chinese tech developers reinterpret existing business models and build out new mobile apps. "I haven't really come across anybody who would say that yes, because we don't have a free Internet, therefore we can't innovate," says Bishop. "From Beijing's perspective, there's this fear that if we open up the Internet then it will be chaos. So if the cost is good-enough or almost-good-enough innovation... it seems like a pretty straight forward equation from the perspective of the policymakers." And there are signs the Great Firewall is expanding its reach. Last week, the Chinese and English news websites of Reuters news agency became inaccessible in China, joining a number of foreign media destinations that are barred online in China. There have been ways to get around it. Through VPNs, or Virtual Private Networks, web users in China can access restricted content. But in a recent crackdown, the Chinese government is shutting down VPNs -- Beijing's latest move to shore up its cyber-authority. "You can filter out keywords, you can filter by URL, you can block or poison DNS (domain name system), and increasingly now they identify VPNs," says Tsui. "The problem is that it's decided on a national level by the government," he adds. "It's this attitude that 'father knows best.'" And that "father" would be Lu Wei, the so-called Internet czar of China who was recently photographed smiling at Mark Zuckerberg's desk during a visit at Facebook's headquarters in California. "Lu Wei is really pushing this 'Internet sovereignty' model, where we can control the information, we can control the Internet within our borders and we will use our model," says Roseann Rife, the East Asia research director of Amnesty International. "More than that, the Chinese authorities are pushing this as a model for the globe and they are going to get a lot of acceptance or buy-in from a lot of different countries." Amnesty International fears the Great Firewall could become the next great export from China. "It would be a very attractive model for instance for Russia, for Egypt, or for other states," Rife says. "It would be obviously in China's interest for other people and other nation states to agree with them and their interpretation of Internet sovereignty." And instead of backing away, Western onlookers may be nodding their heads in agreement. Last year, the U.S.-based LinkedIn decided to censor some content on its Chinese site. And fear is mounting that Zuckerberg's recent charm offensive with Lu Wei reflects Facebook's desire to do whatever it takes to crack the China market. So would global Internet users rise up against a Facebook that censors its posts and monitors its users to comply with local laws in China? It's unlikely, says Bishop. "I actually think most users don't care." "At the end of the day, they're not going to give up Facebook because Facebook is operating differently in China." A Facebook that fits the firewall, and fortune at the expense of freedom. That is precisely China's vision of how the Internet should be. | China's "Great Firewall" is a massive Internet surveillance and content control system . Critics said it would stifle business but now Chinese Internet companies are worth billions . Amnesty International fears China is exporting its model to places like Egypt and Russia . |

Based on this paragraph, what industry did Gardiner Hall create a business in and how was it impacted by the Civil War? | South Willington's industrial history began in 1840, when Origen Hall and two partners founded the Willington Thread Company. Hall and his brother Gardner founded a second company in 1848 for the production of cotton wadding and batting. After several failed business ventures, Gardiner Hall founded the Hall Thread Company in 1860, building what is now the oldest surviving industrial building in the village. This venture also failed due to a lack of cotton occasioned by the American Civil War, but Hall restarted the business in 1867. This business flourished, operating at the site until 1954. The Halls practiced a paternalistic form of management and care of the mill workers, building a school and church, as well as housing for their workers. The company's success was instrumental in the village's growth during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. | Gardiner Hall was in the textile business and ran the Hall Thread Company. His business was impacted by the Civil War due to a cotton shortage, but he restarted the business following the Civil War. |
Give this paragraph about TCP/IP, what are the four abstraction laters? | The Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP, is a framework for organizing the set of communication protocols used in the Internet and similar computer networks according to functional criteria. The foundational protocols in the suite are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Internet Protocol (IP). Early versions of this networking model were known as the Department of Defense (DoD) model because the research and development were funded by the United States Department of Defense through DARPA.
The Internet protocol suite provides end-to-end data communication specifying how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers, which classify all related protocols according to each protocol's scope of networking. An implementation of the layers for a particular application forms a protocol stack. From lowest to highest, the layers are the link layer, containing communication methods for data that remains within a single network segment (link); the internet layer, providing internetworking between independent networks; the transport layer, handling host-to-host communication; and the application layer, providing process-to-process data exchange for applications.
The technical standards underlying the Internet protocol suite and its constituent protocols are maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The Internet protocol suite predates the OSI model, a more comprehensive reference framework for general networking systems. | From lowest to highest, the layers are:
- link layer, containing communication methods for data that remains within a single network segment (link)
- the internet layer, providing internetworking between independent networks;
- the transport layer, handling host-to-host communication;
- the application layer, providing process-to-process data exchange for applications. |
Given this paragraph about history of China, what is the name of the river that nurtured China's civilization. | The history of the area now known as China has alternated between periods of prosperity, political unity, and peace and periods of war and statehood. The Yellow River nurtured China's civilization. Between eras of multiple kingdoms and warlordism, Chinese dynasties have ruled parts or all of China; in some eras control stretched as far as Xinjiang, Tibet and Inner Mongolia, as at present. The regions were occupied by other people-groups; often, non-settled peoples of the steppe identified as Mongolic, Turkic and Khitan. With thousands of years of continuous history, China is among the world's oldest civilizations and is regarded as one of the cradles of civilization. | The river nurtured China's civilization is named the Yellow River |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Hey, nature, thanks for reminding us that you are not to be played with. Unless you are an adorable Australian quokka. We would play with them all day long. From battling water creatures to lions opening car doors, animals have taken center stage on social media. And this is not your typical animal kingdom. Check it out: . This bald eagle protecting her eggs in the snow in Pennsylvania has captured the Internet's heart. There is even a live stream. According to Mashable, digital media producer Benjamin Savard was working on a video for the science department at Middlebury College in Vermont on Monday when he put a GoPro in a waterproof case inside an octopus tank. The octopus grabbed it, took some selfies and then snapped a shot of Savard. Which, of course, brings to mind the epic battle last month between an octopus and crab on an Australian beach. This octopus at the Seattle Aquarium decided enough was enough last month and tried to escape its tank. Land creatures are not to be outdone, however. A video from 2014 gained attention this week, showing a lion opening the car door of a family driving through a safari park in South Africa. As someone in the car says, "Oh, my gosh, I didn't know they could do that." We are still giggling at the #WeaselPecker phenomenon: a photo of a weasel hitching a lift on the back of a flying woodpecker. The memes, people, the memes!

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)"The Law of the Jungle, which never orders anything without a reason, forbids every beast to eat Man." I still remember the first time I read the passage from "The Jungle Book," heart racing beneath my pajamas covered with The Six Million Dollar Man. "The real reason for this is that man-killing means, sooner or later, the arrival of white men on elephants, with guns, and hundreds of brown men with gongs, rockets and torches. Then everybody in the jungle suffers," Rudyard Kipling wrote. I probably understood that tiger attacks were fairly rare in Milwaukee, but to my 11-year-old brain, Kipling was dropping wisdom that just might keep me alive on the next expedition into the weedy lot behind Piggly Wiggly. "The reason the beasts give among themselves is that Man is the weakest and most defenseless of all living things, and it is unsportsmanlike to touch him." Reading that passage 35 years later, while rolling through the very forest that inspired the classic, the irony in that line finally clicks. When we hear the woof of a frightened deer and my guide kills the engine, my grown-up heart pounds once again. It is a sign that there may be big cats nearby. "I wonder who will be the last person to see a tiger in the wild? And are they alive today?" These are the questions that launched this stop on "The Wonder List," and they led us to a much bigger question about life in the 21st century: Is the planet still big enough for man and man-eater? India is about one-third the size of the continental United States, with four times as many people. That kind of human pressure has changed Kipling's "Law of the Jungle" in dramatic ways. According to the animal conservation group Born Free, there are more tigers in cages in Texas than in the forests of India. So I set out to understand how and why. Having covered the poaching of African animals to feed the huge market for Asian medicine, I assumed the demand for tiger-skin rugs in Dubai or tiger-bone wine in Beijing would be the biggest threat to this endangered cat. Can tigers claw their way back from the brink? But it turns out that tiger-human conflict is a much bigger problem. Almost half a billion rural Indians have no plumbing and answer nature's call by squatting in the forest. Most tiger attacks happen when these people are mistaken for prey, and most tiger kills come in the angry hours that follow, as friends and neighbors of the victim seek revenge. And so, a new specialty in conservation is the art of tiger conflict mediation. It is not easy to convince a frightened farmer that the cat that ate his cow is more valuable alive than caged or dead. But these efforts, along with a more pointed anti-poaching campaign, seem to be paying off. The latest tiger census counted 2,226 big cats in India, a 30% increase over the previous count in 2011. If the estimates hold, this would make India the only country in the world with a growing tiger population. But the human population is growing much faster. Maintaining a healthy population of apex predators is just one new challenge on a planet that will welcome a couple billion more people in just the next generation. You'll be surprised by the others as we seek India's magnificent treasures -- both natural and man-made -- on the next episode of "The Wonder List." | There are more tigers in cages in Texas than in the wild in India, a conservation group says . Tiger-human conflict is a major problem affecting the big cats . |

These sides have met twice before in the Champions League quarter-final stage. The French side progressed 3-2 on aggregate in 1995, while Barcelona went through on away goals in 2013 (3-3 on agg). Barcelona have never won in three away trips to face PSG (L2 D1), including a 3-2 defeat in this year’ group stage. PSG have lost one and drawn two of their three visits to the Nou Camp to face Barca, including a 3-1 defeat in this year’s group stage. Both teams have scored in six of the seven previous meetings between the sides in European competition. The only game where one team failed to score was in the 1997 Cup Winner’s Cup final, with Barcelona winning 1-0. Lionel Messi has scored three goals in four Champions League games against the French side, while Neymar also scored in both group stage games against them this season. Barca have lost just one of their last 11 games against French opposition, though this was against PSG this season (W6 D4). Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have already met six times this season with Atleti remaining unbeaten, winning four (including both league clashes) and drawing two. Atletico Madrid have scored exactly once in all four previous European meetings with city rivals Real, winning just once and losing three. Including this season, there has been at least one Spanish team in the Champions League quarter-final for the last 10 campaigns. For only the third time in European Cup history, a quarter-final tie will feature two Spanish sides; however it is the second season in a row that this has happened (Real Madrid v Sevilla in 1958 and Atletico v Barcelona in 2014). Bayern only lost 1 of 22 competitive matches versus Portuguese teams (13 W, 8 D): the European Cup final 1987: 1-2 versus Porto. Bayern won the last knockout tie against a Portuguese team 12-1: 5-0 A and 7-1 H against Sporting in the Last 16 of the CL 2008/09. Porto's one previous knockout European Cup victory over a German side came in the 1987 final; they have been eliminated from three knockout ties since, two against Bayern and one against Schalke. Bayern Munich have kept seven clean sheets in their last nine against Portuguese sides, conceding just twice in total. These two sides have only ever met before in the 97/98 Champions League, when Juventus won 4-1 at home and lost 2-3 in Monte Carlo on their way to the final where they lost 1-0 to Real Madrid. In their 24 European meetings with French teams (including Intertoto), the Old Lady have lost just five times, winning 14 and drawing five. However in the Champions League only, Juve has won just two of their six games against French sides (one win v Monaco in 1998 and a victory against Nantes in 1996). In their 11 European meetings with Italian sides, Monaco have won just three times (D2 L6), although two of those victories have come in their last three clashes with Serie A sides. |

Generate a summary of the text | England may be pondering a recall for Jonathan Trott but Yorkshire openers Adam Lyth and Alex Lees are ready and waiting to answer the call should selectors opt for new blood in the West Indies. England play three Tests in the Caribbean next month, where they will hope to shake off the ignominy of their woeful World Cup campaign. The identity of captain Alastair Cook's batting partner is likely to be one of the most vexed questions during selection meetings this week, with incumbent Sam Robson on shaky ground and Trott reportedly being considered for the first time since departing the 2013/14 Ashes with a stress-related condition. Jonathan Trott is reportedly being considered for an England recall ahead of West Indies tour . Yorkshire batsmen Adam Lyth (left) and Alex Lees are ready and willing to provide top order cover . He made his name as a No 3 but with another Yorkshire batsman, Gary Ballance, having made that slot his own, Trott is being considered for a promotion. Even if the 33-year-old travels, England may be tempted to take top-order cover and the title-winning pairing are first in line. Lyth was the top scorer in Division One of the LV= County Championship last summer, making 1489 runs and scoring six centuries, while 21-year-old Lees made 971 runs is rated as one of the country's brightest prospects. 'I feel like I've had a good winter with England Lions and hopefully I get the telephone call which I think I thoroughly deserve,' Lyth told Sportsmail. 'I'm looking forward to what might come for me. You can see how many people in recent years have gone on from playing Lions cricket to representing England and hopefully I can be the next one. Lees and Lyth were instrumental in winning the LV County Championship with Yorkshire last year . Trott has not been selected by England since departing the 2013/14 Ashes with a stress related condition . 'If that's not the case all I can do is keep scoring runs for Yorkshire.' Lyth and Lees are an unusual study in partners as rivals - as well as batting together throughout the county season they also played for the Lions in South Africa over the winter. Even now they are leading rival Yorkshire teams in an inter-club friendly in Abu Dhabi, but their relationship remains strong. 'Of course I get on really well with Alex and if he gets the nod I'll give him a pat on the back and say well done, but I obviously hope it's me,' added Lyth.

England vice captain Jos Buttler looks dejected as he leaves the field following defeat by Bangladesh . Lees is aware of the interest he has attracted as a stylish young opener, but is attempting to remain on an even keel as speculation over a Test call builds. 'I know I've had a good 18 months or so but I've got to keep knocking on the door and getting those runs,' he told PA. 'Personally the talk doesn't affect me, positive or negative, because people are always going to have their opinion on you and you just have to focus on your game. 'There is a spot with England and there's a few players in the mix. I think there will be an opportunity for somebody this year. 'It's quite refreshing that both me and Lythy are in the mix, we can really push each other on to be our best.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | During a hectic week in San Sebastian, David Moyes is engrossed in all things Spanish. Whether it’s watching Real Sociedad’s next La Liga opponents on DVD, learning the language with his demanding tutor or sampling another tasty Basque speciality dish from the atmospheric pintxos bars, Moyes can’t escape it. But he does like to switch off now and again and turn his attention to the Scotland national team. He will watch Gordon Strachan’s side on the television this week as they play Northern Ireland and then the Euro 2016 qualifier against Gibraltar. Moyes has been a manager at the highest level for more than a decade with Manchester United, Everton and now La Real, and he understands the scrutiny and intensity fellow bosses face from boardrooms, fans and media. Real Sociedad manager David Moyes has been impressed with Scotland boss Gordon Strachan . Strachan, pictured in November, is preparing his side for their match against Northern Ireland . That is why he has nothing but admiration for the job Strachan is doing. The national team sit in a decent position in Group D, in third place with seven points from four games. The weekend’s fixture should be comfortable. Moyes hopes so and believes Strachan and his players have the determination and ability to be at the party in 2016. ‘Gordon is doing a fabulous job. He has everybody believing again but it’s good that there is a measured amount of optimism and nobody in the country has any stupid levels of expectation,’ Moyes told Sportsmail. ‘We’ve had unrealistic ambitions in years gone by and it hasn’t done us any favours. ‘There is belief, and rightly so. I think we are introducing more and more young players and they have taken to it very well. ‘The more experienced players are maturing nicely and the fact a few of them have Champions League experience certainly helps. ‘All things considered, Gordon is doing a quite brilliant job. The 1-0 win against Republic of Ireland was an important victory. Gordon will want to kick on and make sure there is a win on Sunday. Darren Fletcher (far left) impressed Moyes during their time together at Manchester United . Moyes (left) worked with Fletcher (right) during his brief stint as the manager of the Manchester United . ‘But he doesn’t have a magic wand. It’s difficult being a national manager because you can’t buy a new centre half or a new left back, you have to work with what you’ve got. That means you have to get the very best out of the players, try to improve them in order to maximise their standards when they play. ‘I’m not going to add to the pressure by saying I expect Scotland to qualify. What I will say is that I hope they do. ‘We last reached a Finals 17 years ago and I was in France to support them. I was manager of Preston and also used it as an opportunity to enhance my knowledge by taking in games and sessions. ‘If we qualify for 2016, I will be there again.’ Moyes hopes two of his former players — Darren Fletcher and Steven Naismith — continue their good work at this level. Moyes signed Naismith for Everton after Rangers went into liquidation and the player exercised his right to leave for no fee. It was a no-brainer to sign him under such circumstances. The versatile star is now valued in excess of £8million. Moyes is delighted Fletcher is back in the international fold after successfully battling a chronic bowel disease. He worked with the midfielder at Old Trafford and has huge respect for him. Moyes signed Scotland international Steven Naismith for £8million from Rangers back in July 2012 . When Moyes lost his job at United in April of last year, Fletcher was one of the first on the phone to text offering sympathy and expressing regret at the way it all worked out. ‘Darren is a superb person and a great footballer,’ Moyes said. ‘I had the pleasure of working with him and he was an even better player than I thought. He was great in the dressing room, trustworthy and had the best interests of the club at heart. ‘His health problems were well documented but he never once complained. I hold Darren in high regard. I’m delighted he is relishing the responsibility of captaining West Brom. ‘Stevie Naismith is a good lad. He really has come on leaps and bounds at Everton. ‘It was always going to be difficult for him in his first year when he came from Rangers. But he has listened and developed into an important member of the Everton team because he can play a number of different roles. ‘Gordon will be pleased to have guys such as Darren and Stevie. ‘They are excellent senior professionals and the perfect examples for the new arrivals to learn from.’ Real Sociedad boss Moyes masterminded a 1-0 win over Barcelona at the beginning of January . There is genuine feeling for the Scotland set-up from Moyes. Spending a few days in his company in San Sebastian made that clear. He and his assistant, Billy McKinlay, love nothing more than chewing the fat over issues in the game back home. They have lifted La Real into the top half of La Liga with excellent results, including a 1-0 win over Barcelona. Sunday night’s 3-1 victory against Cordoba was their third win on the bounce and only an almighty collapse in their remaining 10 games would see them relegated. The remit for Moyes when he took over in mid-November was to avoid the drop at all costs. They were fifth from bottom at that stage. He is enjoying the challenge and is contracted until the summer of 2016. He would like to return to the UK at some stage and is currently the bookies’ favourite to take over from Sam Allardyce at West Ham United, but he is in no rush to leave Spain. He said: ‘I’m enjoying life here and have really tried to make an effort to adapt to the culture. ‘It’s very pleasant and everyone has been warm and courteous. ‘Billy and I both sense that the people really want us to do well. We’re trying to make them happy. ‘This is a big club and I can improve myself as a coach by being here. ‘This job also helped me get over the disappointment of what happened at Manchester United. I felt this was as good a place as any to do just that. ‘To come to La Real and work in La Liga has absolutely been the right decision.’ | David Moyes has been impressed with Scotland manager Gordon Strachan . Strachan has brought belief back to the national team, says Moyes . Moyes is happy to see Darren Fletcher back in the national team fold . |

According to a new survey, bingeing on TV box sets is now our top 'lights on' bedroom activity with 34 per cent delaying much-needed kip just to watch their favourite shows. As a nation our average bed time is 10.43pm, but we're busy for nearly an hour (52 minutes) before we actually go to sleep, according to new research. Binge-watching box sets is number one sleep-stealers with 34 per cent watching DVDs in bed . The survey of 1,000 adults, which excluded sex as an option, found that binge-watching DVDs or streamed programmes from the internet is now the number one sleep-stealer. Checking social media feeds was still a high second at 30 per cent, followed by writing emails or working (17 per cent), online shopping (11 per cent) and reading at just four per cent. Guilty pleasures such as eating biscuits, having a cuppa away from the rest of the family and playing addictive games like Candy Crush also sneaked into the top answers in a poll by The Fine Bedding Company. Although 83 per cent questioned claimed to love sleep, and that it was more important to them than food (66 per cent), we're actually getting less and less every year.

It seems there is also a male/female divide when it comes to going to bed times, with the majority of men questioned saying they go to bed between 11pm and midnight, but most women were already snuggled up an hour earlier between 10 and 11pm. Sara Wadsworth of The Fine Bedding Company said: 'It seems we are becoming a nation of binge-watchers, unable to wait another week for the next episode. 'Perhaps it's time to bring a bit of balance back into the bedroom and try some sleep-enhancing activities a few nights a week. Instead of switching on a screen; try some gentle yoga stretches, listening to soothing music or even meditating.

From the passage, list the most influential works of Rumi. Separate them with a comma. | Rumi's poetry is often divided into various categories: the quatrains (rubayāt) and odes (ghazal) of the Divan, the six books of the Masnavi. The prose works are divided into The Discourses, The Letters, and the Seven Sermons.
Poetic works
Maṭnawīye Ma'nawī, Mevlâna Museum, Konya, Turkey
Rumi's best-known work is the Maṭnawīye Ma'nawī (Spiritual Couplets; مثنوی معنوی). The six-volume poem holds a distinguished place within the rich tradition of Persian Sufi literature, and has been commonly called "the Quran in Persian". Many commentators have regarded it as the greatest mystical poem in world literature. It contains approximately 27,000 lines, each consisting of a couplet with an internal rhyme. While the mathnawi genre of poetry may use a variety of different metres, after Rumi composed his poem, the metre he used became the mathnawi metre par excellence. The first recorded use of this metre for a mathnawi poem took place at the Nizari Ismaili fortress of Girdkuh between 1131–1139. It likely set the stage for later poetry in this style by mystics such as Attar and Rumi.
Rumi's other major work is the Dīwān-e Kabīr (Great Work) or Dīwān-e Shams-e Tabrīzī (The Works of Shams of Tabriz; دیوان شمس تبریزی), named in honour of Rumi's master Shams. Besides approximately 35000 Persian couplets and 2000 Persian quatrains, the Divan contains 90 Ghazals and 19 quatrains in Arabic, a couple of dozen or so couplets in Turkish (mainly macaronic poems of mixed Persian and Turkish) and 14 couplets in Greek (all of them in three macaronic poems of Greek-Persian).
Prose works
Fihi Ma Fihi (In It What's in It, Persian: فیه ما فیه) provides a record of seventy-one talks and lectures given by Rumi on various occasions to his disciples. It was compiled from the notes of his various disciples, so Rumi did not author the work directly. An English translation from the Persian was first published by A.J. Arberry as Discourses of Rumi (New York: Samuel Weiser, 1972), and a translation of the second book by Wheeler Thackston, Sign of the Unseen (Putney, VT: Threshold Books, 1994). The style of the Fihi ma fihi is colloquial and meant for middle-class men and women, and lack the sophisticated wordplay.
Majāles-e Sab'a (Seven Sessions, Persian: مجالس سبعه) contains seven Persian sermons (as the name implies) or lectures given in seven different assemblies. The sermons themselves give a commentary on the deeper meaning of Qur'an and Hadith. The sermons also include quotations from poems of Sana'i, 'Attar, and other poets, including Rumi himself. As Aflakī relates, after Shams-e Tabrīzī, Rumi gave sermons at the request of notables, especially Salāh al-Dīn Zarkūb. The style of Persian is rather simple, but quotation of Arabic and knowledge of history and the Hadith show Rumi's knowledge in the Islamic sciences. His style is typical of the genre of lectures given by Sufis and spiritual teachers.
Makatib (The Letters, Persian: مکاتیب) or Maktubat (مکتوبات) is the collection of letters written in Persian by Rumi to his disciples, family members, and men of state and of influence. The letters testify that Rumi kept very busy helping family members and administering a community of disciples that had grown up around them. Unlike the Persian style of the previous two mentioned works (which are lectures and sermons), the letters are consciously sophisticated and epistolary in style, which is in conformity with the expectations of correspondence directed to nobles, statesmen and kings. | Maṭnawīye Ma'nawī, Dīwān-e Kabīr or Dīwān-e Shams-e Tabrīzī, Fihi Ma Fihi, Majāles-e Sab'a, Makatib or Maktubat |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Levi Pettit, who was expelled from the University of Oklahoma for spouting a racist chant at a fraternity activity, says he's "deeply sorry." "Although I don't deserve it, I want to ask for your forgiveness," Pettit said as he read from a prepared statement at a news conference on Wednesday. "There are no excuses for my behavior. I never thought of myself as a racist. I never considered it a possibility. But the bottom line is that the words that were said in that chant were mean, hateful and racist." Flanked at the podium by African American leaders who he'd been meeting with at the Fairview Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, Pettit, who is white, said he planned to spend the rest of his life trying to undo the damage he'd done. Pettit's parents released a statement apologizing for his behavior earlier this month. But it wasn't until Wednesday that he spoke out himself. "Some have wondered why I haven't spoken out publicly. The truth is, I've had a mix of pain, shame, sorrow and fear over the consequences of my actions," he said. "I did not want to apologize to the press or to the whole country first, until I came here to apologize to the community most directly impacted." Pettit read from a letter he'd written the university's president apologizing for his actions and said he's committed to taking steps to prevent racism in the future. "Over the past week or so, I've met with a number of pastors and leaders in the community to seek understanding of the meaning behind the words that I spoke on that bus," Pettit said. "Meeting with a few people does not change what I did, but it has begun to change me, and my understanding of those hateful words." His comments come more than two weeks after a nine-second clip surfaced showing party-bound fraternity members on a bus making racial slurs against blacks. In it, students at the now-disbanded Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity at the University of Oklahoma clap, pump their fists and laugh as they hurl racial slurs and make a reference to lynching. School officials expelled Pettit and another student, Parker Rice, because of their alleged "leadership role" in the racist chant. Rice has also apologized, saying he'd made a "horrible mistake" and that the chant was "wrong and reckless." Pettit declined to answer reporters' questions Wednesday about how he learned the chant, but said he now knows that the words he used never should be repeated. "I'm also upset and embarrassed that I failed to stand up as a leader and stop this chant. I now have a clear understanding of what lives behind the words," he said. "From this point forward, I will be the leader that I should have been on that bus and stand up against racism in any form." CNN's Faith Karimi, Eliott C. McLaughlin and Justin Lear contributed to this report. | "Although I don't deserve it, I want to ask for your forgiveness," Levi Pettit says .

Summarize the main milestones of an NBA season | Following the summer break, teams begin training camps in late September. Training camps allow the coaching staff to evaluate players (especially rookies), scout the team's strengths and weaknesses, prepare the players for the rigorous regular season and determine the 12-man active roster (and a 3-man inactive list) with which they will begin the regular season. Teams have the ability to assign players with less than two years of experience to the NBA G League. After training camp, a series of preseason exhibition games are held. Preseason matches are sometimes held in non-NBA cities, both in the United States and overseas. The NBA regular season begins in the last week of October.
During the regular season, each team plays 82 games, 41 each home and away. A team faces opponents in its own division four times a year (16 games). Each team plays six of the teams from the other two divisions in its conference four times (24 games), and the remaining four teams three times (12 games). Finally, each team plays all the teams in the other conference twice apiece (30 games). This asymmetrical structure means the strength of schedule will vary between teams (but not as significantly as the NFL or MLB). Over five seasons, each team will have played 80 games against their division (20 games against each opponent, 10 at home, 10 on the road), 180 games against the rest of their conference (18 games against each opponent, 9 at home, 9 on the road), and 150 games against the other conference (10 games against each team, 5 at home, 5 on the road).
The NBA is also the only league that regularly schedules games on Christmas Day. The league has been playing games regularly on the holiday since 1947, though the first Christmas Day games were not televised until 1983–84. Games played on this day have featured some of the best teams and players. Christmas is also notable for NBA on television, as the holiday is when the first NBA games air on network television each season. Games played on this day have been some of the highest-rated games during a particular season.
In February, the regular season pauses to celebrate the annual NBA All-Star Game. Fans vote throughout the United States, Canada, and on the Internet, and the top vote-getters in each conference are named captains. Fan votes determine the rest of the allstar starters. Coaches vote to choose the remaining 14 All-Stars. Then, the top vote-getters in each conference draft their own team from a player pool of allstars. The top vote-getter in the league earns first pick and so forth. The player with the best performance during the game is rewarded with a Game MVP award. Other attractions of the All-Star break include the Rising Stars Challenge (originally Rookie Challenge), where the top rookies and second-year players in the NBA play in a 5-on-5 basketball game, with the current format pitting U.S. players against those from the rest of the world; the Skills Challenge, where players compete to finish an obstacle course consisting of shooting, passing, and dribbling in the fastest time; the Three Point Contest, where players compete to score the highest number of three-point field goals in a given time; and the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, where players compete to dunk the ball in the most entertaining way according to the judges. These other attractions have varying names which include the names of the various sponsors who have paid for naming rights.
Shortly after the All-Star break is the trade deadline, which is set to fall on the 16th Thursday of the season (usually in February) at 3 pm Eastern Time. After this date, teams are not allowed to exchange players with each other for the remainder of the season, although they may still sign and release players. Major trades are often completed right before the trading deadline, making that day a hectic time for general managers.
Around the middle of April, the regular season ends. It is during this time that voting begins for individual awards, as well as the selection of the honorary, league-wide, postseason teams. The Sixth Man of the Year Award is given to the best player coming off the bench (must have more games coming off the bench than actual games started). The Rookie of the Year Award is awarded to the most outstanding first-year player. The Most Improved Player Award is awarded to the player who is deemed to have shown the most improvement from the previous season. The Defensive Player of the Year Award is awarded to the league's best defender. The Coach of the Year Award is awarded to the coach that has made the most positive difference to a team. The Most Valuable Player Award is given to the player deemed the most valuable for (his team) that season. Additionally, Sporting News awards an unofficial (but widely recognized) Executive of the Year Award to the general manager who is adjudged to have performed the best job for the benefit of his franchise.
The postseason teams are the All-NBA Team, the All-Defensive Team, and the All-Rookie Team; each consists of five players. There are three All-NBA teams, consisting of the top players at each position, with first-team status being the most desirable. There are two All-Defensive teams, consisting of the top defenders at each position. There are also two All-Rookie teams, consisting of the top first-year players regardless of position. | An NBA season starts with training camp in September, which is followed by preseason during which teams play several exhibition games. In the last week of October, the regular season starts. Individual teams play a total of 82 games over the course of the roughly six months the regular season lasts. In February is the All-Star break in which a set of players, voted for by fans and coaches, compete. The All-Star break is followed by the trade deadline after which trades between teams are not possible anymore. The regular season ends around mid April. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Romelu Lukaku can score the goals to keep Everton in the Premier League, according to manager Roberto Martinez. The Belgium international impressed while on loan from Chelsea last season, but struggled initially after making the move permanent last July. A total of seven goals before Christmas was fewer than Everton might have expected from a striker they had just spent a club-record £28m on. Romelu Lukaku has been 'phenomenal' in 2015, according to Everton manager Roberto Martinez . Lukaku has struggled at times this season after his £28million move from Chelsea in the summer . But the 21-year-old has scored 11 times since the turn of the year, finding the net in each of Everton's last three matches. Martinez puts that recovery down to the fact that Lukaku is no longer suffering the after-effects of helping Belgium reach the quarter-finals of last summer's World Cup. Everton are far from safe in the Premier League as they prepare for Sunday's trip to relegation-threatened QPR. But Martinez feels that the goals of Lukaku will see them out of trouble. He said: He said: 'We made a big investment in him because we always felt that he's a one-off. 'It's always tough for players after a World Cup, and Rom found it extremely difficult. 'But I've been so impressed by the manner in which he's put everything together. 'I think he's been phenomenal. His performances from January have been impressive. 'Now the target is to see that in the next 10 weeks, and make sure he finishes the season really strongly. 'Rom's becoming the type of player who needs one chance to make the difference. 'He likes to carry that responsibility, which is something that goes with your character. He's the full package.' The Belgian striker competes with Moussa Sissoko during Everton's win against Newcastle last week . Martinez has no doubt that Everton are in a relegation fight. Last Sunday's 3-0 home victory over Newcastle was only the second time his side had won in 12 Premier League matches. He said: 'Any team who haven't got 40 points in the final third of the season are fighting for every point. Make no mistake about it. 'It's a massive period of the season for us. Every point is going to be extra significant for the team.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The man suspected of killing a deputy U.S. marshal at a motel in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, has died, Brittany Stewart in the East Baton Rouge Coroner's Office said Wednesday. The cause of death is pending autopsy, she said. Jamie Croom, 31, was wounded in a shootout with Deputy U.S. Marshal Josie Wells. It can be one of the most dangerous tasks for a law enforcement officer: serving an arrest warrant to a fugitive murder suspect. When Wells tried to do that Tuesday, he lost his life. "Wells was part of a team executing arrest warrants on a fugitive wanted for double homicide in Baton Rouge," the U.S. Marshals Service said in a news release. "The team engaged in gunfire with the fugitive and Wells was shot. He was immediately transported to Lane Regional Medical Center in Zachary, Louisiana, where he died." Wells, 28, was trying to arrest Croom, who is suspected in the deaths of a brother and sister in New Roads, Louisiana, CNN affiliate WAFB said. "Our deputies and law enforcement partners face untold dangers every day in the pursuit of justice in cities nationwide," said U.S. Marshals Service Director Stacia A. Hylton said in a news release. "The fugitive who killed Deputy Wells was extremely dangerous, wanted for double homicide and intentionally evaded justice. ... When a public servant dies in the line of duty, it is an immeasurable tragedy felt by all. Our thoughts and prayers are with Deputy Wells' family, friends and colleagues." Officials would not elaborate on exactly what happened, but The Advocate newspaper in Baton Rouge said there was a shootout. Authorities said Croom shot and killed Wells at a Baton Rouge motel. Wells, 28, was based in Mississippi but was on temporary assignment in the Baton Rouge area, the Sun Herald newspaper said. He was married and came from a law enforcement family. Despite the risks, Wells loved his job. "It was his passion," longtime friend Alex McGee told the paper. "I tipped my hat to him because he knew the dangers and wanted to do the job anyway." Croom, the suspect, was taken to a hospital after he was wounded, WAFB said. He was wanted in the shooting deaths of the two siblings in February and was also on probation for firearms charges. That double homicide stemmed from a feud over a loan made to one of the victim's relatives as well as an alleged break-in at the suspect's grandmother's house, Croom's older sister Latonia Croom Duncan told CNN. Duncan said the family reported threats and a shooting at her grandmother's house to police, but said there was never any follow-up. She said her brother called her the night of the homicides, which took place at a nightclub. "He called me and said he loved me and that he'd be gone," Duncan said. "He said he wasn't going back to jail. Before he'd go back to jail, he said, he'd rather be dead." CNN's Devon M. Sayers, John Newsome, Sam Stringer and Eliott C.

Why was Bacardi 151 discontinued in the US? | Bacardi 151 is a discontinued brand of highly alcoholic rum made by Bacardi Limited of Hamilton, Bermuda. It is named for its alcohol concentration level of 151 U.S. proof, that is, 75.5% alcohol by volume. This is much higher than typical rum, which averages around 35%–40% alcohol by volume. Bacardi 151 was sold in the United States and Canada from at least 1963 until 2016, when its production was discontinued.
Safety and lawsuits
Because of its high alcohol content, Bacardi 151 was particularly flammable among liquors. For this reason it was often used as the ignition source for "flaming shots" and even for at-home pyrotechnic stunts. The bottle carried a warning label advising consumers, among other things, "do not use this product for flaming dishes or other drinks." Bottles were also equipped with a stainless steel flame arrester crimped onto the neck of the bottle to prevent the rum inside the bottle from igniting. Nevertheless, Bacardi faced at least two lawsuits from consumers who claimed to have been badly injured by the product's flames. While the company never issued a formal statement regarding the product's discontinuation, it has been speculated that "it's a pretty good guess that Bacardi got sick of being sued."

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Hillary Clinton made it clear Tuesday that when it comes to her emails, which traveled through a private server during her time at the State Department, we'll all just have to trust -- and she'll verify. Using strong language, the former secretary of state insisted that despite concerns from both sides of the aisle on issues including national security, accountability and transparency, there's simply nothing to see here. "I went above and beyond what I was requested to do," she said. "I fully complied with every rule," she declared. And in case you were wondering if there was going to be an independent review of her emails, there isn't. Nor will she turn over her server. "The server will remain private." There you go. Defiant, unfazed, undeterred. You can believe fact checkers will work overtime to parse the bit about complying with every rule. Even the White House has disagreed with that. As for everyone else, the question isn't whether Clinton did enough Tuesday to satisfy House Republicans, who will no doubt continue to hammer her on decisions she made while at State. Nor is it whether she did enough to satisfy Republican voters, who have a crystallized view of Clinton that goes all the way back to the '90s. The perception that this is just another in a long line of instances where the Clintons flouted the rules is fairly unshakable. Likewise, her cadre of loyal surrogates, who showed just how unhinged they are willing to sound to defend the irreproachable HRC in recent days, are sure to keep on circling the wagons and telling us that she is the victim of a right-wing smear campaign and -- wait for it -- media bias. The audience for whom this press conference mattered most was Democratic and independent voters, who may admire Hillary Clinton, but as history has proved, simply cannot be counted on to vote for her in 2016, especially if someone else comes along on her left. Remember, Clinton wasn't defeated in 2008 by Republicans. She was beaten by a little-known, inexperienced Democrat. That means that the half of the country that was predisposed to like her politics and who already knew who she was chose someone else. And the other half of the country did, too. She's just as vulnerable, if not more, to the same kind of usurpation in 2016, thanks to an even greater sense of inevitability on the left, and the reflexive rush to protect her from valid questions and criticism isn't helping to dissolve it. Instead of insisting she did nothing wrong and smugly placating nosy reporters, she should have promised these voters that transparency and accountability -- two words she didn't utter Tuesday -- are the cornerstones of good government and any future administration she were to run. She should have assured them that the rules do apply to her, just like anyone else, and that in the future she'll pay closer attention to them. Finally, she should have told them that the last thing she wants is to take the trust of the voters for granted, and that she'll comply with any independent investigation that's offered. Defiance has paid off for the Clintons in that they've made it through some truly breathtaking scandals unscathed. But if Clinton wants 2016 to turn out differently than 2008, she and her surrogates can't keep insisting to voters that she is above scrutiny. | S.E.

The pair met as part of an Agreed Community Resolution during which James apologised for the offence he had caused. An official statement from the Dyfed Powys Police read: 'Rugby referee Nigel Owens has met face to face with the 18-year-old from Cynwyl Elfed who sent him a homophobic tweet after the recent England v France Six Nations match. Nigel Owens (pictured speaking to England's fly-half George Ford) took charge of Saturday's Six Nations match between England and France . Welsh rugby fan Edryd James has apologised to Owens following a police investigation after homophobic abuse was posted from his Twitter account . 'As part of an agreed Adult Community Resolution, the male apologised to Mr Owens for the offence he had caused at a meeting held at Carmarthen Police Station on Wednesday, March 25.

'Dyfed Powys Police will not tolerate discrimination of any kind and the public need to realise that if offensive comments are made on social media, they are not above the law and we will investigate the matter as we would any other.' James was in the eye of a storm of controversy after the short message appeared on his account on Saturday evening. The Swansea University student is suspected of posting: ‘Your a gay c*** awful performance against france tonight, how did england top Wales?’ The comment sparked hundreds of replies in which rugby fans of all colours said it was disgraceful and voiced their support for Owens. But James, who lives with his family in Cynwyl Elfed, near Carmarthen, West Wales, claimed his phone had been stolen and he was not responsible. The teenager, who describes himself online in Welsh as a ‘Welshman who enjoys life’, has posted many other comments about his love of rugby and heavy drinking sessions. His mother Meiner James, 58, told the Daily Mail she was ‘aware something has happened’ and said she was ‘trying to get to the bottom of it’. Owens, once named as gay sports personality of the year, was encouraged by many other internet users to report the abuse while others said he should ignore it. The veteran referee – who came out seven years ago – was generally praised for his control of England’s 55-35 victory over France. James, 18, was in the eye of a storm of controversy after the short message appeared on his account on Saturday evening . Owens, who came out as gay seven years ago, replied to the tweet and it was later reported to the police . Among those who spoke out for him were former Wales fly-half Jonathan Davies, Will Carling and Wasps fly-half Andy Goode. Owens later tweeted: ‘An absolute pleasure & privilege to ref one of the best games of rugby ever. Huge credit to England & France for making it a great game.’ It was the first time Owens had taken charge at Twickenham since he received homophobic abuse from the stands during England’s 24-21 defeat to New Zealand in the autumn. On that occasion two people were banned from Rugby HQ for two years and ordered to pay £1,000 to a charity of Owens’ choice.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Ferguson, Missouri (CNN)Ferguson's police chief and other city officials are already out. Now some residents have told the Missouri city they'll try to oust the mayor, too. Five residents Friday filed an affidavit saying they'll try to force a referendum on whether to remove Mayor James Knowles -- capping a tumultuous week in a community grappling not only with last year's fatal shooting of teenager Michael Brown, but also Wednesday's wounding of two police officers shot during a protest. A group supporting the filing, Organization for Black Struggle, a 35-year-old St. Louis-based activist group, said the five would try to collect enough signatures -- 15% of the city's registered voters -- in the next 60 days. The five "initiated recall (attempt) due to Mayor Knowles' failure to adequately rein in an out-of-control police department during the protests following Mike Brown's death," the activist group said. The city government acknowledged Saturday that it received the affidavit. Earlier this week, the police chief and the city manager resigned in the wake of a U.S. Justice Department report alleging institutionalized racism at just about every level of Ferguson's municipal government, including the police department. Residents elect City Council members, who in turn appoint the city manager. The city manager directs and supervises all city departments, including police. The top municipal court clerk was fired earlier in connection with racist emails. This month's Justice Department report was initiated after one of Ferguson's police officers, Darren Wilson, shot and killed African-American teen Michael Brown in August, a shooting that spurred months of protests. Wilson, a white officer who said he shot Brown in self-defense, will not be charged in the case -- a grand jury declared it wouldn't indict him in November, and the Justice Department said this month that it would not bring federal civil rights charges in the case. Wilson resigned from the department in November, citing security concerns. Knowles indicated Friday he won't be stepping down. "I think it's important to recognize that there's a lot of people who may be angry at the situation; there's a lot of people who are frustrated in this community with the way things have gone down," the mayor, who is white, told CNN. "But there's a lot of people who still -- and who have expressed this to me -- express confidence in both my willingness, and members of the (City) Council's willingness, to listen, to be responsive, and to make changes as necessary," he continued. "People in the community recognize this, now, not everybody. I didn't win every time with 100% of the vote. But I can tell you there are ways to remove me if that is the will of the people," the mayor said. Blake Ashby, a white resident of Ferguson, said Friday that he believed Knowles has "consciously tried to reach out to all parts" of the city of 21,000 people. "If we lose Mayor Knowles, we lose a force for change, and it will be harder to make the changes that the DOJ (Department of Justice) is asking for," Ashby said. Rasheen Aldridge, a black member of a commission charged with recommending reforms in Ferguson, said that Knowles needed to resign in the wake of the DOJ report. "He knew what was going on during his watch," said Aldridge, a member of the Ferguson Commission, which Gov. Jay Nixon formed last year. Investigators still are seeking breaks in the case of two police officers who were shot Wednesday night during a protest in Ferguson. While the demonstrators' focus was Ferguson, neither of the wounded officers works for that police department. One is from Webster Groves, a St. Louis suburb 13 miles south of Ferguson. The officer -- a 32-year-old with seven years' experience -- was shot at the high point of his cheek, just under his right eye, police said. The other was hit in the shoulder and the bullet came out the middle of his back. He is a 41-year-old officer with the St. Louis County Police who has been in law enforcement for 14 years. Both were treated and released. "I cannot tell you an arrest is imminent, and there's certainly no one in custody," St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar told reporters Friday afternoon. "The detectives are working this investigation around the clock, and they will not rest until we have a conclusion in this investigation," the chief said. Police have "several leads," he said. "I think we have a pretty good general idea of where we think the shots came from." Sara Sidner reported from Ferguson, Missouri. Jason Hanna reported and wrote from Atlanta.

Given this paragraph, how much control of the world's cocaine market did the Cali Cartel have at its peak? | The Cali Cartel (Spanish: Cartel de Cali) was a drug cartel based in southern Colombia, around the city of Cali and the Valle del Cauca. Its founders were the brothers Gilberto Rodríguez Orejuela, Miguel Rodríguez Orejuela and José Santacruz Londoño. They broke away from Pablo Escobar and his Medellín associates in 1987, when Hélmer "Pacho" Herrera joined what became a four-man executive board that ran the cartel.
At the height of the Cali Cartel's reign from 1993 to 1995, they were cited as having control of over 80% of the world's cocaine market and were said to be directly responsible for the growth of the cocaine market in Europe, controlling 80% of the market there as well. By the mid-1990s, the leaders of the Cali Cartel's multibillion-dollar international drug trafficking empire were operating a US$20 billion a year global criminal empire. | At the Cali Cartel's peak from 1993 to 1995, they controlled over 80% of the world's cocaine market. |
Can foreign nationals get an Aadhaar in India? | Aadhaar is a 12-digit unique identity number that can be obtained voluntarily by the citizens of India and resident foreign nationals who have spent over 182 days in twelve months immediately preceding the date of application for enrolment, based on their biometric and demographic data. The data is collected by the Unique Identification Authority of India (UIDAI), a statutory authority established in January 2009 by the Government of India, under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, following the provisions of the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016.
Aadhaar is the world's largest biometric ID system. World Bank Chief Economist Paul Romer described Aadhaar as "the most sophisticated ID programme in the world". Considered a proof of residence and not a proof of citizenship, Aadhaar does not itself grant any rights to domicile in India. In June 2017, the Home Ministry clarified that Aadhaar is not a valid identification document for Indians travelling to Nepal and Bhutan.
Prior to the enactment of the Act, the UIDAI had functioned, since 28 January 2009, as an attached office of the Planning Commission (now NITI Aayog). On 3 March 2016, a money bill was introduced in the Parliament to give legislative backing to Aadhaar. On 11 March 2016, the Aadhaar (Targeted Delivery of Financial and other Subsidies, benefits and services) Act, 2016, was passed in the Lok Sabha. | Resident foreign nationals who have spent over 182 days in twelve months immediately preceding the date of application for enrolment, based on their biometric and demographic data get an Aadhaar. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | If Roy of the Rovers made a comeback as a defender, he would be an all-action Brazilian with electric hair, have 6.5million Instagram followers and call them all ‘geezers’. The new comic book star would score a magnificent booming header against his former team, celebrate with a screaming knee slide, scrap with the evil baddie of the opposition (Diego Costa) and finish the struggle victorious, shaking hands with the ground staff before exiting for his next adventure. The problem for the script writers, if they were to copy the life and times of David Luiz, is that they would have no idea what David Luiz was going to do next, so what chance do the opposition – or his team-mates – have? David Luiz jumps for joy after his bullet header forced the game in to extra-time on Wednesday night . Luiz celebrates victory with team-mates Thiago Motta (right) and Maxwell at the final whistle . When you expect Luiz to be heading it clear, he’s chasing the glory, when you expect him to be chasing the glory, he appears from nowhere to head it clear. Losing 7-0 in a World Cup semi-final, he still thinks he can get a goal back. Maybe a second. Who knows? A hat-trick. On that occasion it finished 7-1 and the one-man reconnaissance mission broke down, leaving gaps behind him for the German team to exploit. Would it change his approach? Of course not. Even on Wednesday night, with Paris Saint-Germain drawing 2-2 at Chelsea with minutes remaining and set to go through with 10 men on away goals, he turned up on the right wing to collect the ball and retain possession. Luiz looks on in disgust as Germany celebrate one of their seven goals in last summer's World Cup semi-final . He’s a defender who sees defending as a part-time job. So concerned was Laurent Blanc, a World Cup-winning centre back with 97 caps, which suggests he knows a bit about defending, that he played Luiz in midfield in the first leg, with two centre backs behind him for cover. He was back in the back four for the second leg and, when it works, it works spectacularly. Who else could have got them through when their talisman, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, had been sent off? Luiz could have been sent off too for his feuding with Costa, but instead he rose majestically in the land of the giants that is Chelsea’s penalty area to send a thunderball of a header into the roof of the net. The defender stumble backwards after one of many confrontations with Diego Costa on Wednesday night . To get ahead of John Terry, Gary Cahill or his marker Branislav Ivanovic takes great skill, movement and courage but to meet the ball with such ferocity… maybe there’s more to Luiz than his Sideshow Bob nickname and carefree style. Then came the celebration. Not just a former player quietly enjoying the moment against the club that sold him, but a full-pelt emotional surge of joy. He said he wouldn’t celebrate on his first return to Stamford Bridge, but who can blame him for loving the moment? It was a goal worth celebrating. Chelsea sold him because they thought the deal was too good to refuse and, presumably, because they thought Terry and Cahill could do the job better. Few can argue with that – Terry, especially, has been magnificent as a defender this season but can he hit a dipping, swerving free kick, Cristiano Ronaldo style, from more than 30 yards, as Luiz did on Wednesday night? Jose Mourinho has a word with Luiz on the touchline as PSG manager Laurent Blanc watches on . Luiz rises to beat Branislav Ivanovic to Thiago Motta's corner and head home PSG's equaliser . Not everyone is a Luiz fan – Jamie Redknapp wrote on this website that ‘whoever struck the deal to sell Luiz for £50m deserves a knighthood’. And, as Chief Sports Writer Martin Samuel reported, Jose Mourinho thought Luiz was too much of an optimist as a defender. Samuel wrote: ‘Mourinho wanted miseries at the back. He wanted players who feared the roof was about to fall in, the move was going to break down, a counter attack was only a stray pass away. Luiz wasn’t like that. He roamed, he left gaps, he charged upfield and if that break went wrong he thought it wouldn’t matter. He didn’t check for danger, he was rarely alarmed. Luiz was too much of an optimist to defend properly.’ The optimist will make mistakes. He will raid upfield when he should be focussing on shutting the door, but he had a lot of fun at Stamford Bridge on Wednesday night and he’s still in the Champions League.

What happened to the tax assessor and his dog? | When the kids fight over a coin for ice cream, J. Field Mouse tells his grandchildren the story of a mouse whose greed and dishonesty became his undoing. Feigning blindness and playing the fiddle, he collects enough money to live an opulent lifestyle. His home, marked by a shabby exterior, turns out to be a mansion where he lives it up with his riches. All the fiddler's luxury is in jeopardy when the tax assessor knocks on the door. The fiddler hurriedly presses a series of buttons to hide his opulence and make his home look like a hovel. He succeeds in confusing the tax assessor to the point that he flees in frustration, but an eavesdropping cat plays on the fiddler's greed and lures him into his jaws by placing a gold coin there. And that, says J. Field Mouse to his grandchildren, was the end of the greedy mouse. One of the grandchildren asked if the greedy mouse got eaten. The grandfather said, "Yes, he ate him all up,". But one of his grandchildren notices a gold (cat's?) tooth hanging on display and realizes that things weren't quite what they seem. | The tax assessor leaves after being confused by the fiddler, who changes his home into a hovel.

Generate a summary of the text | Sunderland's Steven Fletcher has been blasted by fans after posing with his new £260,000 Lamborghini Aventador supercar while struggling for goals during the club's relegation battle. The £40,000-a-week striker, who has scored just seven times in two years for Sunderland, suffered a Twitter backlash after the photograph of him with the supercar on the driveway of his home went viral. The 27-year-old player, who cost his club £12million, was criticised by fans who said the car was ‘undeserved’ and the timing of the photo was ‘really appalling’, after it began circulating three days before his team lost 4-0. Aventador: Steven Fletcher, who has scored just seven times in two years for Sunderland, suffered a Twitter backlash after the photograph of him with the supercar on the driveway of his home went viral . Partner: Fletcher is pictured with his beauty queen girlfriend Rachel Monaghan, 22 . However, his agent Scott Fisher told the Daily Record that Fletcher had not put the image on Twitter - adding that it was the company who sold the supercar who posted the picture online. Mr Fisher said: ‘It wasn’t Steven that put the picture up. The company who were doing advertising on it done it. I don’t know what the problem is and what people are getting excited about.’ But Janet Rowan, from the Sunderland Supporters’ Association, said that ‘it was probably the straw that broke the camel’s back’ for low-income fans to see someone taking possession of such a car. She told the Daily Mirror: ‘We know footballers have these big flash cars. I just think the timing was really appalling and I can really understand the way that people have felt about this.’ The four-wheel drive Aventador, which sells for between £242,000 and £295,000, has a top speed of 217mph, will return 17.6mpg and can perform 0 to 62mph in 2.9 seconds. Seven goals in two seasons: Fletcher (left) vies for the ball with Aston Villa's Jores Okore (right) during his Sunderland side's 4-0 Premier League defeat at the Stadium of Light on March 14 . Comparisons: Birmingham fan Michael Jabbari quoted a message from parody account BBC Sporf in a tweet, which said: 'Steven Fletcher: two seasons, seven goals, one new Lamborghini Aventador' In response to the photo, Sunderland fan JamesTheMackem posted on Twitter: 'Steven Fletcher has a Lamborghini, the most undeserved Lambo for a football player, ever.' Jack Liddell added: 'Tell me how Steven Fletcher (a striker) can score seven goals in two seasons yet have earned a Lamborghini Aventador and a Bentley Continental.' Fletcher began his career at Hibernian in 2004, before moving to Burnley for £3million in 2009, Wolverhampton Wanderers for £6.5million in 2010, and Sunderland for £12million in 2012. But while he scored 52 goals in five years for Hibernian, 12 in one year for Burnley and 24 in two years for Wolves, he has struggled for form at Sunderland since signing. Fletcher scored 11 goals in his first season for the Black Cats, but only netted three last term - and has managed four this campaign. He has also played 18 times for Scotland, scoring once. Unimpressed: In response to the photo, Sunderland fan JamesTheMackem posted on Twitter that it was 'the most undeserved Lambo for a football player, ever' Disbelief: One football fan, John Tough, said he 'can't get over the fact' that Fletcher is driving a Lamborghini . Mystified: Jack Liddell posted a similar comment, wondering how Fletcher has 'earned a Lamborghini Aventador and a Bentley Continental' Sunderland sacked boss Gus Poyet last week after the 4-0 defeat to Aston Villa, before his replacement Dick Advocaat led the team to a 1-0 defeat at West Ham United on Saturday. The club are now in 17th, one place and one point above the relegation zone, with their next fixture against Newcastle United in the 152nd Tyne-Wear derby this Sunday. Fletcher, who was born in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, spent his younger years at military bases as the son of soldier Kenny, before he died aged 38 after a battle with cancer. This occurred when Fletcher was just ten, which saw his mother Mary move them to Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, to be closer to her family. After he had left home, she moved to County Durham and has lived there with his stepfather Martin, a Sunderland fan, for more than a decade. Fletcher moved to a £670,000 five-bedroom home in County Durham with his beauty queen partner Rachel Monaghan, 22, in October 2013, and they live there with their daughter Darcy-Mae, one. | Steven Fletcher has scored just seven times in two years for Sunderland .

Police have confirmed that a body found inside a car recovered from a Florida river is that of a missing piano teacher. Lisa Hayden-Gordon, 51, vanished on January 24 following a night out watching a concert with friends. Her body was recovered from a vehicle found submerged in the New River near Cooley's Landing Marina in Fort Lauderdale on Friday. It was a distinctive blue 2003 Hyundai Elantra that was decorated with stickers of the sun, moon and stars on its hood. Hayden-Gordon had gone out with a man she met online and several of her friends, and they attended a Keller Williams show at Revolution Live in Fort Lauderdale. The group wanted to take her home because they thought she had had too much to drink, but she went to the restroom at a bar, the Poorhouse, and never returned. They looked for her but when they could not find her anywhere, they ended up leaving. A friend told CBS that people had seen Hayden walking away from a bar with her keys in her hand the night she went missing. 'Everybody who saw her that night said that she was so happy and having just a good time,' her sister Tara Cloe previously told the Sun Sentinel. 'She's always singing, she was probably singing the whole time during the concert. And then she left.' Discovery: The distinctive blue 2003 Hyundai Elantra, pictured, was found near a Fort Lauderdale marina on Friday morning - more than a month after Hayden-Gordon vanished during a night out with friends .

Friends had made tearful pleas for information about the woman they called 'Noodles', a nickname that stuck after she became addicted to the food while in hospital recovering from a car accident as a child. 'My sister would never leave us. And she's the most loving, outgoing, friendly person,' Susan O'Leary told the Sun Sentinel earlier. 'For her not to be here, be a part of our lives, I don't even know how to tell you what kinds of emotions you could have. We don't know what to do, where else to go, where else to turn.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Spy chiefs have been told by MPs to recruit middle-aged mothers because they are 'emotionally intelligent' and skilled at relationships. The Intelligence and Security Committee said MI5, MI6 and GCHQ should start advertising on the Mumsnet website. An inquiry by the MPs and peers on the committee found that action was needed to break through the 'permafrost' of middle-aged men dominating the ranks of the intelligence agencies who have a 'very traditional male mentality and outlook'. Hermione Norris plays a former MI6 officer - called Ros Myers - who joins an MI5 counter-terrorism division in the TV show Spooks . Across the three agencies, women make up 37 per cent of the workforce but hold only 19 per cent of the most senior roles. Labour's Hazel Blears, who sits on the ISC, said yesterday that recruiting a greater number of women would make the security services better at their job. She highlighted the particular skills mothers have in building relationships – a vital talent for spies trying to recruit informants. 'Women who have had children and brought their families up, they have valuable life experience,' the former Home Office minister said. The dominance of men, by contrast, 'can reinforce a management culture which rewards those who speak the loudest or are aggressive in pursuing their career', she said. Women deliver a 'more consultative, collaborative approach'. Labour MPs Hazel Blears said more women spies were needed . Mrs Blears said: 'If all intelligence professionals are cut from the same cloth – sharing similar backgrounds and characteristics – then they are likely to share 'unacknowledged biases' that will circumscribe both the definition of problems and the search for solutions.' According to the inquiry, her view that women can make for a better working environment for spies was backed by Sir Iain Lobban, the former director of GCHQ, the listening agency. 'I find that the discussions are deeper, I think they are more emotionally intelligent and, if you like, I think there is more intuition in the room,' he said. Mrs Blears said the need for MI6 officers to be able to deploy abroad – sometimes at short notice – could be a problem for women with children. She added: 'There is a bit of testosterone in the system that says, 'Tickets, money, passport – we all have to get there'. And if you've got children, finding 24-hour childcare is often very difficult.' Mrs Blears also revealed that the BBC TV drama Spooks had made it harder for MI5 to recruit women . A string of its female characters met a grisly end, such as being blown apart trying to rescue a Home Secretary from a bomb. Daniel Craig and the Italian actress Monica Bellucci pose during a photocall on location for the shooting of the 24th James Bond movie 'Spectre' in Rome . In a report out today the ISC will call for a number of reforms to be introduced within the next 12 months across the agencies, including culture change, help for women who have had children to stop them being sidelined and career advice. Targeted recruitment should also be carried out, including through websites such as Mumsnet, it recommends. Ms Blears said: 'Changing the culture is the one area that is most difficult to articulate and, crucially, to take action on, but if you want change, that is where to start. I’d make a great spy. I go totally unnoticed everywhere I go, but I have a keen eye for detail. Nobody suspects a woman in mum boots of anything underhand. If they need someone whose special skill is getting melted chocolate down her dog-haired jumper and not noticing, I’m their woman. I’ve always said that a crack team of Mothers could knock most governments into a cocked hat. I would LOVE to be a spy. And no one would suspect me. I am too boring and frumpy. Well I’m not signing up. I’ve watched Spooks. Everybody I get attached to dies a horrible death. 'It is clear to us there are those at middle management level - referred to by some people as 'the permafrost' - who have a very traditional male mentality and outlook. 'This can reinforce a management culture which rewards those who speak the loudest or are aggressive in pursuing their career and does not fully recognise the value of a more consultative, collaborative approach. 'We therefore recommend that there is a real focus on identifying and tackling the barriers that can exist at middle management level, so that women and men can fully achieve their potential in a supportive team ethos.' The Committee hopes that this report and the specific recommendations it contains will galvanise support for, and lead to further concerted efforts to create, a more gender diverse workforce in the agencies.' Former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who conducted a similar investigation into women in the CIA, said improving diversity would help in the response to threats to national security. She said: 'As Ms Blears rightly says diversity should be pursued - not just on legal or ethical grounds, important as these are in their own right - but because it will result in a better response to the range of threats that threaten national security. 'Much of what is said in this report echoes and reinforces my own work on the director's advisory group on women in Intelligence at the CIA. 'I am sure we will all benefit from close cooperation on these vital issues between our two countries.' | Parliamentary committee says more women spies needed to keep UK safe .

Defeat in Dublin in their last RBS Six Nations outing led to a prolonged post-mortem and fostered collective unrest, which came to a head three days before their next fixture, at Twickenham. The desire to produce a backlash in the Calcutta Cup encounter led to a feisty 15-a-side match at England’s HQ on Wednesday, overseen by Test referee JP Doyle. England head coach Stuart Lancaster instructs his squad during a training session on Wednesday . The England squad played out a fiercely committed training match on Wednesday ahead of facing Scotland . Head coach Stuart Lancaster said afterwards: ‘I had to calm it down, blow the whistle at the end and make sure we didn’t play the game too early.’ He was delighted by the players’ commitment and the calibre of opposition provided to a Test XV featuring two changes — with Mike Brown and Courtney Lawes recalled, as reported by Sportsmail. ‘The (non-starting) pack was Mako (Vunipola), Tom Youngs, Kieran Brookes, Parling, Kruis, Easter, Wood and Kvesic — who came in today as cover,’ said Lancaster. ‘You can see the quality of the players who were training against the starting XV. George Ford runs with the ball during a committed and well fought training match at England HQ . Mike Brown, who suffered concussion against Italy, is back in the starting XV for England on Saturday . Bath's Sam Burgess impressed head coach Stuart Lancaster as he took part in England training . ‘Both sides had an edge about them. The non-XV, if you like, had a point to prove but also wanted to create some intensity in the session, particularly at the breakdown, to make sure we were accurate as a team. ‘They did that and were a huge challenge for us defensively. We had talked in the review of the Ireland game about being accurate at the breakdown and sharp. Those components came into play and it was the type of session you need sometimes in the lead up to a big game.’ Asked if the coaches sought to nurture the needle which was in evidence yesterday, Lancaster added: ‘You look for it, and the players were in the right place for today. I’ve been in training weeks where it’s been like that — and you have to make sure that translates to match day. The England players played out some pent up frustration during a bruising training session . England: M Brown; A Watson, J Joseph, L Burrell, J Nowell; G Ford, B Youngs; J Marler, D Hartley, D Cole, D Attwood, C Lawes, J Haskell, C Robshaw (capt), B Vunipola. Subs: T Youngs, M Vunipola, K Brookes, G Parling, T Wood, R Wigglesworth, D Cipriani, B Twelvetrees. ‘We wanted to put the starting team under pressure so that they get used to making decisions under pressure and the more you can replicate that in training, hopefully when the game comes around, it comes easy.’ Lancaster conceded that England needed to clear the air with a no-holds-barred session. What he also needed was to see some of his fringe squad operating at that intensity, so he paid close attention to Exeter centre Henry Slade and Bath’s cross-code recruit Sam Burgess. Lawes has been reinstated in the second row at the expense of George Kruis and he confirmed that training yesterday had been combative. ‘It was tough,’ said the Northampton lock. ‘The boys were certainly up for it, which is what you want going into a game like this. You need to be on edge. It showed out there that we were certainly up for it at the weekend.’ This is not music to Scottish ears. England have been stewing, they are wound up and desperate to right the wrongs of Dublin. They’ve scrapped it out among themselves, now they’re primed to tear into Vern Cotter’s strugglers.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Swedish prosecutors have asked Julian Assange's legal representatives whether the WikiLeaks founder would consent to be interviewed in London and have his DNA taken via a swab. Assange has been holed up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since June 2012 to avoid extradition to Sweden, where prosecutors want to question him about 2010 allegations that he raped one woman and sexually molested another. Swedish prosecutors have previously balked at coming to Britain to question Assange. However, a number of the crimes Julian Assange is suspected of will be subject to a statute of limitation in August 2015, according to a statement from Marianne Ny, the director of public prosecutions. "If Assange gives his consent, the prosecutor will promptly submit a request for legal assistance to the British authorities to further continue the investigation," the statement said. A request will also be made to the Ecuadorian authorities for permission to "perform investigative measures" at its London embassy, the statement said. Ecuador granted Assange political asylum in 2012. Assange's defense lawyer, Per E. Samuelsson, said he called Assange on Friday morning with the news from the prosecution authority -- and that in principle they viewed the request positively. "I think I woke him up, but he knew I was calling with news about the case since I called so early," Samuelsson said. "He was, of course, very happy that something is finally happening but he is irritated that it has taken such a long time." This is a step that Assange and his team have been requesting for four years, Samuelsson said. Ny explained the logic behind the Swedish authorities' change of approach in her statement. "My view has always been that to perform an interview with him at the Ecuadorian embassy in London would lower the quality of the interview, and that he would need to be present in Sweden in any case should there be a trial in the future," Ny said. "This assessment remains unchanged. Now that time is of the essence, I have viewed it therefore necessary to accept such deficiencies to the investigation and likewise take the risk that the interview does not move the case forward, particularly as there are no other measures on offer without Assange being present in Sweden." The Australian national has not been charged and denies the claims. He's said he fears Sweden would extradite him to the United States, where he could face the death penalty if he is charged and convicted of publishing government secrets through WikiLeaks. Samuelsson said Assange's legal team would travel over to London as soon as possible to discuss Ny's request and that it expects to respond next week. "The problem is that there are two more countries involved in this request so it might take some time to make all this happen," Samuelsson said. Samuelsson also said Friday's development was not a great surprise since Sweden's Supreme Court had last week asked the prosecutor general for an opinion on the case. "We think that the prosecutor general, who has taken over the case, probably told Prosecutor Ny to interview Assange in London," he said. Assange has previously said the arrest warrant should be thrown out because, in part, Swedish authorities declined to interview him at the Ecuadorian Embassy, thereby prolonging a preliminary investigation that he said should have concluded long ago. London's Metropolitan Police said last month that the cost of the operation to guard the embassy to prevent Assange fleeing had spiraled to more than 10 million pounds ($15.3 million.) overall . CNN's Claudia Rebaza contributed to this report . | Lawyer for Assange says they view the request positively but will have to discuss response .

He has played well, racking up five birdies in succession at one point during his second round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, the first time he has accomplished that on the PGA Tour, but there has still been a sense of a man playing within himself. Everything is about the build-up to Augusta where the US Masters begins in a little over a fortnight’s time. It is there that McIlroy will attempt to join a select group of the greats of the game by winning the only major that has eluded him. Victory would lift him into the company of Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods who all won the Masters, the US Open, The Open and the US PGA at least once in their careers. Rory McIlory has been tuning up for the Masters this week at the Arnold Palmer Invitational . This week's Arnold Palmer Invitational at Bay Hill is McIlroy's last competitive action before Augusta . The Masters is the one major that McIlory is yet to get his hands on having won the other three . Despite his uneven form in the last month, McIlroy, 25, has looked and sounded like a man who is exactly where he wants to be in the run-up to the tournament where victory eluded him three years ago when he collapsed on the back nine of his final round. If he gets into the same position this year, it is safe to bet he will not let it slip. It was important to him to play here at Bay Hill, partly to honour Palmer, who has seemed hurt in recent years when McIlroy decided to skip the tournament. But McIlroy also wanted to replicate his routine from 2011 when he had a fortnight off before the Masters. ‘It worked pretty well at Augusta, at least for 63 holes,’ he said. | Rory Mcilroy five shots behind leader Morgan Hoffman at Bay Hill .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A daredevil Swiss wingsuit flyer has jumped off the side of a mountain in pitch darkness and flown down past huge pillars of rock using only the light from two bright red flares. And the amazing night-time flight by Patrick Kerber, 33, was not only captured on video, but also on a slow shutter speed photo taken by photographer Christian Meier. In the picture Kerber's route appears as a glowing red line running down from the top of the 10,000-foot Titlis mountain in the resort town of Engelberg in central Switzerland to the bottom. Scroll down for video . The amazing night-time flight by Patrick Kerber, 33, was not only captured on video, but also on a slow shutter speed photo taken by photographer Christian Meier . Kerber used two superheated emergency flares on the descent down the 10,000-foot Titlis mountain . The daredevil pictured at the moment he leaped into the darkness from the summit of Titlis . And just to show how dangerous jumping with the wingsuit was, Kerber made the flight during the day, showing how a wrong turn would easily have sent him crashing into one of the rocky crags that he was flying close to as he hurtled down from the mountain top. He said: 'I wanted to do a wingsuit BASE flight at night during winter for a very long time. But somehow I never really managed to do it.' The idea became reality when they decided to try and do a single photograph on a slow shutter speed and at the same time fit a light to the jumper so that the flight down the mountain could be recorded. The first problem was that it was difficult to find a light that was bright enough to be seen from a distance of one mile away, where the camera needed to be placed. They solved it, though, by using two superheated emergency flares. These also provided some light to help illuminate the way, although the intense heat also posed a risk that they might set the suit on fire. Patrick said: 'We used flares exactly like the ones used for rescue missions or emergencies. But flares burn very, very hot and my biggest fear was burning holes or melting the suit. That would have been super dangerous. To show how dangerous the jump was, Kerber did a trial run in daylight . A slight mistake would have sent Kerber crashing into craggy rocks . The wingsuit jump produced a dramatic video, with Kerber zooming down the mountain at breakneck speed . 'There definitely was a lot of pressure. Even though we did intense testing before, I did not know for sure how it would turn out. Having fire really close to you on a wingsuit BASE flight leaves no margin for error. Everything has to be worked out.' The two photographers, Fabian Wyss and Meier, stood on the other side of the valley on the Furrenalp to take the snap. Patrick also had to wait until the torches burned out before he could open the parachute. He said: 'I definitely did not want to open up my parachute with fire still around me, as this could be very dangerous. I only have one single parachute attached to me. If this one burns or melts, it's over!' Kerber decided to use two torches. The first one he ignited before he took off and held in his right hand so it would be visible to the photographer. When the torch burned out, he opened up his parachute and when it was safely in the air, ignited a second torch attached to his foot. He said: 'I only had 20 seconds to ignite the second one as it also burned for one minute and I only had 1 minute and 15 seconds to the landing area.' Patrick Kerber has jumped at night before, but not in winter and only at full moon. He said: 'The feeling was very intense and amazing. It is much harder to orientate yourself, as you can't see as well. It feels much more intense because you fly with more feeling and awareness of your body and movements.' | Wingsuit daredevil Patrick Kerber jumped off a 10,000-foot Swiss peak .

In his book, O'Reilly claimed he heard the blast when George de Mohrenschildt - an associate of President John F. Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald - killed himself with a shotgun in Florida. CNN's Reliable Sources played an audio recording from 1977 where a young O'Reilly is heard talking about traveling to Florida to cover de Mohrenschildt's suicide. An audio recording released by CNN proves Bill O'Reilly (above) lied in his best-selling book Killing Kennedy . The Fox host claimed in Killing Kennedy, (right) that in 1977 he 'heard' the fatal shotgun blast in the suicide of George de Mohrenschildt (left) who gave testimony at the investigation into President Kennedy's death . O'Reilly, 65, was covering the JFK assassination for Dallas, Texas, television station WFAA at the time. In his book, O'Reilly wrote: 'In March of 1977 a young reporter knocked on the door of de Mohrenschildt's daughter's home. 'He heard the shotgun blast that marked the suicide of the Russian. 'That reporter's name is Bill O'Reilly.' The recording, which was originally published by former Washington Post reporter and author Jefferson Morely on his website JFKFacts.org in 2013, seems to prove that claim is false. In the high-quality recording CNN aired on Sunday, O'Reilly can be heard calling investigator Gaeton Fonzi to confirm de Mohrenschildt's suicide. He also talks about coming to Florida, meaning there is no way he could have been on de Mohrenschildt's doorstep to hear the shotgun blast. In the tape, O'Reilly said: 'I'm coming down there tomorrow. 'I'm coming to Florida. 'I'm gonna try to get a night flight out of here, if I can. 'But I might have to go tomorrow morning.' Fox released figures showing O'Reilly's weekly audience is up 11 per cent compared with last year . Morley told Media Matters Reilly's claim about overhearing the gunshot in de Mohrenschildt's suicide is 'just not true'. He added: 'It is what these guys all do, they inject themselves into a dramatic situation. 'O'Reilly was chasing this story, but he wasn't there, he made it sound like he was more on the scene than he was, it was show business.' Former WFAA reporter Tracy Rowlett echoed those sentiments. He said: 'Bill O'Reilly's a phony, there's no other way to put it. 'He was not up on the porch when he heard the gunshots, he was in Dallas. 'He wasn't traveling at that time.' Fox News did not comment about the matter and referred Daily Mail Online to book publisher Henry Holt & Co. Henry Holt spokesperson Patricia Eisemann said: 'We fully stand behind Bill O’Reilly and his bestseller Killing Kennedy and we’re very proud to count him as one of our most important authors. 'This one passage is immaterial to the story being told by this terrific book and we have no plans to look into this matter.' A Fox News spokesperson previously told Daily Mail Online: 'Bill O'Reilly has already addressed several claims leveled against him. 'This is nothing more than an orchestrated campaign by far left advocates Mother Jones and Media Matters. 'Responding to the unproven accusation du jour has become an exercise in futility. FOX News maintains its staunch support of O'Reilly, who is no stranger to calculated onslaughts.' On Friday, Fox News released figures showing O'Reilly's weekly audience grew by 11 per cent compared with the same period last year, the Washington Post reported. | Fox News host has said in books and on television he 'heard' George de Mohrenschildt commit suicide with a shotgun at a Florida home in 1977 .

England have named a 16-man party for the three-Test series next month that includes the Durham all-rounder who was left out of the disastrous World Cup campaign. Stokes emerged as the most exciting young talent in the English game when he scored a maiden Test century in the third Ashes Test in Perth but then endured a miserable year after breaking his wrist when punching a locker in frustration after being dismissed in Barbados. All-rounder Ben Stokes has been recalled for the England Test squad for the upcoming West Indies tour . All-rounder Stokes has remained in the thoughts of selectors and performed well for the England Lions in South Africa (above left) - he has been brought back amid fitness concerns over Chris Woakes . His all-round form was so bad that he was left out of the World Cup but England have now decided to bring him back into the fold with fitness concerns over Chris Woakes. Stokes' uncapped Durham team-mate Mark Wood also travels to St Kitts on April 2 as does Adam Lyth, Adil Rashid, Jonny Bairstow and Liam Plunkett in a squad that reflects Yorkshire’s status as the best county for producing talent.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A short circuit has temporarily rendered Nasa's Curiosity rover inactive as engineers investigate the problem. The Mars rover stopped work when an electrical problem was discovered while it was using its arm to move powder into its sample container. The severity of the problem is not yet known, but Nasa said they expected to resume operations in several days if it can be resolved. A short circuit occurred in the rover's arm as it was moving. Nasa engineers in California are now investigating the problem. The rover (shown here in a recent mosaic image taken by its arm) had been transferring rock powder into a sample analysis container . 'We are running tests on the vehicle in its present configuration before we move the arm or drive,' said Curiosity Project Manager Jim Erickson, of Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. 'This gives us the best opportunity to determine where the short is.' The short circuit occurred while the rover was moving its arm on 27 February. When the rover detected the anomaly, it stopped the movement of its arm. Nasa said that such a brief short could have little effect on rover operations, or it 'could prompt the rover team to restrict use of a mechanism'. Quite how much lasting damage the short will have caused, if any, is not yet known. On Twitter the official account for the rover, @MarsCuriosity, said: 'Call me Johnny Five. Some ops on hold while my team investigates a short circuit.' The rover's top speed is 1.5 inches (3.8 centimetres) per second. Curiosity is the fourth rover to visit Mars. It took around seven minutes to land on the Red Planet. The rover is fitted with 17 cameras. It weighs about the same as a Mini Cooper at approximately 2,000lb (900kg). Scientists considered 60 possible landing sites before deciding on Gale Crater. The fault occurred while the rover had been transferring rock powder collected by its drill on the arm to laboratory instruments on the rover. This powder was taken from a rocket target called Telegraph Peak. Curiosity has successfully analysed five samples from drilling targets before in 2013 and 2014, but this is the first time this problem has arisen. On this particular occasion, Curiosity revealed the true colour of Mars was not red - but blue and grey. By drilling a few centimetres into the ground, the drill dug up material that had a different colouration to the surface. The fault occurred while the rover had been transferring rock powder collected by its drill on the arm to laboratory instruments on the rover. This powder was taken from a rocket target called Telegraph Peak. The material appears blueish-grey, seen here, because it had not yet oxidised in the Martian air . The reason is that Mars is mostly made of silicon and oxygen, and also contains significant quantities of iron, magnesium, aluminium, calcium and potassium. When the soil is exposed to the air it oxidises and 'rusts', giving it its red appearance. 'We're sort of seeing a new colouration for Mars here, and it's an exciting one to us,' Joel Hurowitz, sampling system scientist for Curiosity at Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), said in a statement. This raw-color view from Curiosity's Mastcam shows the rover's drill just after finishing a drilling operation at Telegraph Peak on 24 February 2015. Three days later, a fault-protection action by the rover halted a process of transferring sample powder that was collected during this drilling . On Twitter the official account for the rover, @MarsCuriosity, said: 'Call me Johnny Five [pictured]. Some ops on hold while my team investigates a short circuit.' One of the reasons for the particularly different colour might be the large amounts of silicon that were dug up, as analysed by the Alpha Particle X-ray Spectrometer (APXS) on the rover. 'When you graph the ratios of silica to magnesium and silica to aluminium, 'Telegraph Peak' is toward the end of the range we've seen,' said Curiosity co-investigator Doug Ming, from the Nasa Johnson Space Centre in the US. 'It's what you would expect if there has been some acidic leaching. We want to see what minerals are present where we found this chemistry.' Curiosity is now continuing to climb Mount Sharp, at the centre of Gale Crater, to look back into the geological history of Mars - and analyse soils at different altitudes. The rover had been transferring material to the Sample Analysis at Mars (Sam) instrument, seen here in a previous image taken by Curiosity. It has successfully analysed four drill samples before, but has not yet experienced this short circuit failure . | A short circuit occurred in the rover's arm as it was moving .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The cost of college has rapidly increased over the past 30 years. Students today face annual costs, between tuition and living, that can easily exceed $10,000 at a community college, $18,000 at a public four-year college (in-state), and $40,000 at a private four-year school. It's unsurprising that today's students often graduate with large debt loads. More than two-thirds of students graduate with debt. And the average amount of debt owed is about $30,000. Given the cost of college, students and families need to know that they're making a good investment. That's why we need to move to a system where we measure learning outcomes, not just time spent in a classroom accumulating credits. A college degree is the only sure path to middle-class security, and because young people and their parents know that, the cost of college, and the availability of loans and other aid, has become a powerful political issue. But for all the attention paid to the price of college, we haven't given enough thought to whether students and their families are getting their money's worth. Is American higher education worth the price? Are students and their families getting what they're paying for? There's plenty of evidence that for many of them, the answer is no. In 2006, a government study found that nearly 70% of college graduates could not perform basic tasks like comparing opposing editorials. In a 2011 book, "Academically Adrift," researchers studied 2,000 students at two dozen universities over four years and found that 45% of them showed no significant gains on a test of critical thinking, complex reasoning, and communication skills after two years of college. Even at the end of four years, 36% of the students hadn't gained those skills. Given the evidence, maybe it's not a surprise that employers aren't impressed by recent college graduates. Employers want the skills that higher education says it provides to students: the ability to critically think, communicate, work in a team, write effectively, and adapt. Yet only about one-quarter of employers say that colleges and universities are doing a good job in preparing students effectively for the challenges of today's global economy. A recent Gallup poll found that only 11% of business leaders strongly agreed that college graduates have the skills necessary to succeed on the job. In addition to money, these graduates have spent hours and hours in classrooms and taking tests, but the time doesn't seem to have translated into learning. Why is this? Perhaps it's as simple as this: We measure education in terms of time, rather than learning. A four-year degree attests that you have acquired 120 credits. That's an accidental result of the credit hour system, which was created by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie more than 100 years ago, for the purpose of providing struggling professors with pensions. At the turn of the 20th century, Carnegie created a $10 million free pension fund to help professors retire. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, which was set up to administer the fund, determined that only "full-time" faculty would qualify for pensions, which they defined as teaching 12 "credit units," with each unit equal to one hour of faculty-student contact time per week, over a 15-week semester. While originally a narrow measure of faculty workload, the credit hour quickly morphed into much more. The Carnegie Foundation warned against using the credit hour as a proxy for student learning, but the temptation of an easy-to-understand and seemingly standardized measure was too great to resist. It just made organizing the whole higher education enterprise much easier. If credit hours truly reflected a standardized unit of learning, they would be fully transferable across institutions. An hour in Arizona is an hour in New York. But colleges routinely reject credits earned at other colleges, suggesting that even though they use credit hours themselves, they know they are not a reliable measure of how much students have learned. Many students, however, believe the fiction that the credit hour is a standardized currency and assume that credits will transfer from one school to the next. This is an unfortunate and costly assumption, as community college students in Louisiana will tell you. Until recently, Louisiana students with an associate degree typically lost between 21 and 24 credits when transferring to a four-year state school. That's a year of time and money lost. Given that nearly 60% of students in the United States attend two or more colleges, the nontransfer of credits has huge costs, not only to individuals, but also to the federal government and states that are financing this duplicative classroom time. If higher education doesn't trust its own credits, why should anyone else? And Louisiana students aren't alone; transfer students across the country lose credits, which lengthens their time to get a degree. So we have two problems: Students who have earned credits -- at great expense in time and money-- can't use or transfer them. Others who have accumulated costly credits haven't learned much. And then there's a third dimension: Millions of people who have learned a great deal have no "credit" because they learned it at the wrong place — that is to say, not at a "college." Someone who has spent the last 10 years working as a nurse's aid in a hospital who decides to go get a nursing degree has to start from scratch, taking introductory courses he could probably teach, because colleges treat those without credits as blank slates. Employees at a biotech company with a high-quality on-the-job training program might learn more than someone in a two-year college science program, but unless this training is attached to an accredited institution of higher learning, the learning won't "count." For the millions of adult workers looking to retrain and reskill, the focus on time rather than learning, especially when between family and work, their time is scarce, is a daunting proposition. State and federal governments add to the problem, because while they spend hundreds of billions on higher education each year, most of it is for time served, in the form of credit hours, rather than learning achieved. We need to stop counting time and start counting learning. What could that look like? We don't have to wonder; some schools are experimenting with measuring learning rather than time—some for decades. One relatively new program is Southern New Hampshire University's College for America, or CfA, an online "competency-based" Associate of Arts degree aimed at working adults. The program has no courses, no credit hours and no grades. The school has broken down what students with a degree from CfA should know and be able to do, what it calls competencies. CfA worked closely with employers to identify the competencies employers were looking for, like communication, critical thinking and teamwork. Then faculty designed real-world tasks and projects to determine whether students had mastered each competency. Unlike in credit-hour courses, CfA has no seat-time requirements. Students can move through the program as quickly as they can demonstrate mastery of the competencies. Someone who worked at a PR firm might whiz through the communications competencies and spend more time on the math competencies. And the faster students can progress, the less they will ultimately pay. Students pay $1,250 for all-they-can-learn in six months. This means they can spend their precious time and money learning what they don't already know, rather than wasting it on what they already do. Students at CfA can be confident that their time and money are well spent and, at the end, they will have a very clear picture of what they know and can do. CfA is not the only one to offer this to students, nor the only model. Hundreds of schools, from Antioch to the University of Michigan to Purdue University, are looking to offer competency-based certificate, associate, and baccalaureate degree programs. How are universities staying afloat financially with such low tuition? In many cases, the answer is surprisingly simple—and, sadly, not commonplace in higher education—by focusing on what students need in order to, wait for it, learn. Fancy amenities, great football teams and sprawling college campuses may bring attention, but they have little to nothing to do with student learning. Some competency-based programs don't focus on research -- faculty are hired for specific expertise, like curriculum design, English literature or advising. Other programs use technology and data analytics to help students and faculty understand where students are doing well and where they are struggling. This allows for more targeted, personalized support by faculty. There is, however, a downside for students: Self-paced competency-based programs do not fit in neatly with the historically time-based credit hour, making it difficult for students in these types of programs to receive state and federal support. Without access to these dollars, the programs will remain one-offs and unavailable to the majority of Americans who could use them. Only recently has the federal government recognized the role it could play in encouraging the move from seat time to learning by redirecting some of its nearly $150 billion-plus financial aid budget. The U.S. Department of Education is encouraging innovation by colleges looking to experiment with alternatives to the credit hour, and there is strong bipartisan interest in both the House and Senate to explore innovative ways of paying for learning, rather than time. As higher education becomes increasingly necessary and expensive, measuring time rather than learning is a luxury that students, taxpayers and the nation can no longer afford. Paying for what students learn and can do, rather than how or where they spent their time, would go a long way toward providing students and the nation with desperately needed, high-quality degrees and credentials. | Is American higher education worth the price? Are students and their families getting what they're paying for? Amy Laitinen: The big problem is that we measure education in terms of time, rather than learning . |

Generate a summary of the text | The Ronnie Corbett sitcom 'Sorry' that poked fun at a middle-aged man living with their parents would be a 'documentary' today, Michael Gove claimed tonight. The Government chief whip said it was too hard for people to get on the housing ladder today, forcing people to stay at home later in life. He said new plans to build 200,000 cheap 'starter homes' for the under 40s were needed to help a generation buy their first home. Michael Gove said the Ronnie Corbett sitcom 'Sorry' would be a 'documentary' today because of the cost of buying a first home . Mr Gove's remarks, to LBC's Iain Dale, came after it emerged more than 30,000 people have registered for the new 'starter homes' schemes within 48 hours of its launch. David Cameron yesterday announced that under a future Tory Government 200,000 new homes will be sold 20 per cent cheaper than the going rate - but only for those under 40 who haven't yet bought their own home. Mr Cameron said building cheap new homes for first time buyers would be the centre-piece of the Tory Party's house-building strategy after the election. Mr Gove tonight said the proposal was necessary to help young families get a leg onto the housing ladder. He said: ‘What David has been talking about is extending the number of what have been called ‘starter homes’. These are homes that we will make available to people under the age of 40 so they can get onto the housing ladder. ‘The right thing to do is to help those people who, traditionally, would have been able to expect to get a home before they are 40. ‘I remember when we were growing up, there was a situation comedy called “Sorry” with Ronnie Corbett. ‘It was a comedy because you had a man in his 40s living with his parents. Well, it was a comedy then – it is a documentary now. We need to make sure we have more homes for young people.’ In the sitcom 'Sorry' Ronnie Corbett plays Timothy Lumsden, who still lives at home with his parents despite being middle aged . David Cameron yesterday announced that under a future Tory Government 200,000 new homes will be sold 20 per cent cheaper than the going rate - but only for the under 40s . The Prime Minister yesterday promised the new homes for under 40s would be 'decent, well-built, homes – places to start and raise a family'. Mr Cameron also promised to keep mortgage rates low, build more homes, extend the controversial help-to-buy scheme and encourage more people to buy their own council house. Local councils will also be given more power to stop unpopular developments, Mr Cameron said. The PM said: 'There is a particular kind of security that comes with owning your own home [but] too many people have been denied that security. 'The young people in their 20s and 30s still living with their parents, desperately saving for their own place. 'The couple who want a child but can't afford to upsize – even though they both have full-on, full-time jobs. It shouldn't be this way. 'Our goal is a Britain where everyone who works hard can have a home of their own.' | Ronnie Corbett sitcom 'Sorry' like a 'documentary' today, says Gove .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | In the closing stages of the RBS 6 Nations’ greatest day, Ben Youngs played like a true champion. But that status eluded him once again — and he knew exactly why. England’s scrum-half had tormented France during the gloriously, bewilderingly compelling match which provided a pulsating finale to Super Saturday. But a fourth successive year as runners-up left the national team shattered, with their gallant role in epic sporting drama serving as meagre consolation. England fell just six points short of being crowned Six Nations champions . A 55-35 victory over France was not enough for England to overhaul Ireland at the top of the standings . And though Youngs had been the catalyst for a daring charge towards the unlikely target of a 26-point winning margin with his two tries, countless line-breaks and dashing creativity, collective disappointment eclipsed any personal pride. As participants and observers alike tried to make sense of a 90-point, 12-try edition of ‘Le Crunch’ which often defied logic, the devastated man of the match pinpointed why there were no medals around English necks. ‘I don’t think the Six Nations title was lost today, it was lost last week, when we missed too many chances,’ he said, in reference to the 25-13 victory over Scotland seven days earlier. ‘We should have been way ahead on points difference going into this game.’ Ben Youngs believes England lost the Six Nations title last week when they only beat Scotland 25-13 . England had many chances to beat Scotland by a bigger margin last weekend at Twickenham . Correct. It would have deprived a captivated audience of an absorbing spectacle spanning three high-octane games, but England could have made Saturday’s fixtures in Rome and Edinburgh all but irrelevant if they hadn’t squandered a raft of try-scoring openings in round four. If Stuart Lancaster’s men had merely needed to win, they would not have scorched the earth as they did time and again in front of a fervent crowd, but it is highly likely they would have secured their prize. Instead, they ran amok to amass a record total against their cross-Channel rivals, only to be left six points short and inches from glory as a rolling maul at the end threatened to bring the house down until referee Nigel Owens penalised the hosts to signal the dying of the light. After familiar English dejection and an outpouring of Irish euphoria as Joe Schmidt’s team retained their title on points difference, the inquests began at Twickenham. George North's inspired performance helped Wales to a 61-20 win over Italy to put them in with a shout . Ireland thrashed Scotland 40-10 at Murrayfield to overhaul Wales, and England fell short in their response . Circumstances demanded an adventurous streak and the upshot was seven tries against opponents who had conceded just two in their previous four games. A torrent of quick lineouts and tapped penalties, heads-up running and off-loading made for a stirring sight but, while the real damage had been done a week before, there were also fresh faults. For all his evident pride, backs coach Andy Farrell will not have been amused to see England concede five tries at home, even though they had to go for broke. When Vincent Debaty rounded off a stunning French raid on the hour, Youngs wore a thunderous look. ‘They took their tries well but we’ve got to be better than that,’ he said. ‘It was one step forward, one step back. For every good thing we did, we weren’t able to keep backing it up. If we can be a bit smarter in defence, that is the way for us to play.’ England’s expansive approach was certainly effective and pleasing to the eye, but there was a period in the first half when they became too frantic, when a composed outlook would have told them to build a score patiently. Stuart Lancaster has seen his side finish as runners-up in the Six Nations for four years in a row . Still, criticism must be tempered in the context of a 20-point thumping of a French team which bore no resemblance to the rabble of previous weekends. For Youngs, there was irritation that their opponents had fought hard while Scotland and Italy had presented limited resistance to the other title challengers. ‘France turned up — I don’t know what happened to Italy or Scotland,’ he said. ‘We knew we were going to be chasing it and we did that. But it was shame those other teams weren’t a bit more resilient.’ France’s resilience brought out the best in several England players besides Youngs. Captain Chris Robshaw strove to carry the ball and the team heroically while James Haskell was in the sin bin for a rash trip in the second half. Billy Vunipola completed another 80 minutes of surging intensity and out wide, Jack Nowell had been peripheral early on but by the end he was rampant and had another two tries. England started their campaign with a morale-boosting win over World Cup Group A rivals Wales . English thoughts of ‘if only’ have become an annual routine and this year they have cause to lament the failure to cope with an aerial barrage in Dublin and their profligacy against Scotland. The second-half efforts against Wales and France represented their peaks and as Courtney Lawes noted, with the World Cup in mind they will take heart from recent wins over Pool A rivals Wales and Australia. Twickenham was loud and proud on Saturday evening and with five consecutive victories there, Lancaster’s side are enjoying a spell of home rule at just the right time. The performances of George Ford, Jonathan Joseph and Nowell have generated optimism, and while inside centre remains a problem position, in most areas there are now multiple options. The likes of Manu Tuilagi, Joe Launchbury and Alex Corbisiero face a battle to reclaim lost places. As they stood in their post-match huddle, England were no doubt exhausted and demoralised. Finishing second again suggests they are stuck on a plateau but, in certain respects, this performance represented telling and timely progress. | England missed out on winning the Six Nations title by six points . A 20-point victory over France was not enough to clinch championship . Stuart Lancaster's side finished runners-up for the fourth straight year . Ben Youngs says championship was lost against Scotland last week . England's performance provides plenty of optimism for World Cup . |
What is the meaning of life? | The meaning of life, or the answer to the question: "What is the meaning of life?", pertains to the significance of living or existence in general. Many other related questions include: "Why are we here?", "What is life all about?", or "What is the purpose of existence?" There have been many proposed answers to these questions from many different cultural and ideological backgrounds. The search for life's meaning has produced much philosophical, scientific, theological, and metaphysical speculation throughout history. Different people and cultures believe different things for the answer to this question.
The meaning of life can be derived from philosophical and religious contemplation of, and scientific inquiries about existence, social ties, consciousness, and happiness. Many other issues are also involved, such as symbolic meaning, ontology, value, purpose, ethics, good and evil, free will, the existence of one or multiple gods, conceptions of God, the soul, and the afterlife. Scientific contributions focus primarily on describing related empirical facts about the universe, exploring the context and parameters concerning the "how" of life. Science also studies and can provide recommendations for the pursuit of well-being and a related conception of morality. An alternative, humanistic approach poses the question, "What is the meaning of my life?" | pertains to the significance of living or existence in general |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A man who dropped out of university to start his own computer gaming business has sold the company for £20million. Craig Fletcher started Multiplay in his bedroom at his parents' home in Blackfield, Hampshire, some 20 years ago. The 36-year-old has now sold the company - whose 50 employees include Mr Fletcher's mother and brother - to video game retailer Game Digital. Scroll down for video . Entrepreneur: Craig Fletcher, pictured with his girlfriend, Pippa Caygill, who started Multiplay in his bedroom at his parents' home in Langley, Hampshire, some 20 years ago, has now sold the company for £20million . Remaining modest, Mr Fletcher said he plans to use the money from the sale to buy a new house for himself and girlfriend Pippa Caygill - and to pay off his brothers' mortgages. In 1994, when competitive online gaming was in its infancy, Mr Fletcher organised his first tournament, where 20 of his friends played first-person shooter Doom II at a Southampton hotel. He continued to organise weekend events while studying medicine at Edinburgh University, but they soon attracted hundreds of people and the hobby began placing more demands on his time. Mr Fletcher said: 'I originally started it as a hobby, something that I did for fun. I got to my final year of medical school and realised it was getting silly. 'I'd fly down on a Wednesday to organise an event with hundreds of people at the weekend and then head back for exams. I had to give the company a shot.' He dropped out of university in 2001 to work on Multiplay full-time and his mother, father and brother joined the business. Family business: Craig Fletcher, centre, with parents Tom, 72, and Yvonne, 67 (left) and brother Stewart, 47 . Working out of the family's four-bedroom home in Langley, the team continued to grow the business. Now, the company has 50 members of staff at their headquarters in Southampton, Hampshire. And more than 10 million users from around the world connect to Multiplay each month to play popular games like Minecraft and the Battlefield series. Mr Fletcher's father, Tom, 72, has retired from the company, but his 67-year-old mother Yvonne continues to work as the office secretary. Modest: Mr Fletcher, pictured, said he plans to use the money from the sale to buy a new house for himself and girlfriend Pippa Caygill . Mr Fletcher said the money made from selling the business will go towards paying off the mortgages of his brothers Paul, 48, and Stewart, 47, who works for Multiplay as operations director. He added that he and his partner, Pippa Caygill, 30, a urology surgical registrar, will likely move to a new home near Romsey, Hampshire. He said: 'We're very happy. This is a reward for those of us who have risked an awful lot. It recognises the hard work that everybody puts in. 'I honestly haven't thought about how else I'll spend the money, I'm more focused on getting the business out there. I did sneak a look at a few cars, though.' Mr Fletcher, who currently drives a Jaguar Xf, has been looking at Aston Martins, his mother said. He added that a lot of the cash will be reinvested in new equipment. 'The sky's the limit. We have had a rocket put under us and we're going to be growing very fast,' he said. 'I wouldn't be surprised if there were 150 people working here in three years' time. We've got some big ambitions.' With the business initially revolving around him playing online and establishing contacts, now he hardly has any time to play games himself as work takes over. He said: 'The last game I played quite a lot was Eve Online [an online multiplayer game set in space]. I exist so that other people can play.' He added: 'Who knew this little tech company could grow so fast and do so much? 'We have been working with Game for quite a while. They were the first exhibitor who came to one of our shows.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)I am a friendly, hard-working Ohio native. It's how a lot of my friends in New York describe Midwesterners. It's as if we're assembled at "The Flyover Wonder Bread Factory," devoid of color or depth. We supposedly represent all that is wholesome in America. That may be true, but "friendly and hard-working" is so ... bland. If you think I'm being a tad harsh, ask anyone who isn't from the Midwest to describe someone born and raised in America's Heartland. My favorite definition came from a colleague raised in Florida. She struggled to describe us at first, then said, "Simple." Um, like the Amish? "No," she said, flustered. Even my fellow Midwesterners have a hard time coming up with interesting descriptors. CNN legal analyst Danny Cevallos is a proud native of North Muskegon, Michigan. First thing out of his mouth, "Friendliness!" After that, he struggled, too. "Boy, let me see...um...not easily agitated?" I rolled my eyes. "That is so bland, Danny." He paused, then said, "I'll take bland over the rap Florida gets any day." Even my new friend, Jared Zak, from Wisconsin struggled. The best he could come up with was "hearty." I asked these questions after interviewing Eric Dayton, who wants his native Minnesota to divorce itself from the Midwest. "We're Midwest if you're looking at it from New York City or from anywhere on [the East] Coast," Dayton told me. "But then again, that's someone else's definition. I think it's time for us to claim our own." Dayton and his brother, Andrew, whose father is the state's governor, are Minneapolis businessmen whose clothing store and restaurant have a decidedly local flavor. Eric Dayton, after touring Scandinavia (many Minnesotans are of Norwegian descent), became enthralled by the region's strong identity. It proudly embraced its chilly weather, its food, its culture, its... Northiness. So why, he questioned, didn't Minnesota? When Dayton got home he hired a Minnesota company to make stocking hats for his clothing boutique that said, "North." They sold out and Dayton's idea headed, well, north. Minnesotans just got it, he said. I admit, I didn't get it, until I thought more about it. Minnesota -- or should I say Minneapolis -- is criticized, by some of my compatriots, for being "Minnesota nice," the sort of "nice" (fake) that isn't remotely the kind of "nice" (sincere) for which Midwesterners are renowned. But, hey, I have an open mind. You could argue that Minnesota, along with North Dakota, parts of Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan, are in the Northern region of the United States. And, you could argue Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia are Eastern states. The only truly Midwestern states are Illinois, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota. Go ahead, argue among yourselves, but know that Mr. Dayton isn't talking only about geography when it comes to labeling Minnesota -- "The North." He's talking about image and, although he won't say it, branding. "The New York Times had done an article highlighting different Thanksgiving side dishes," Dayton told me. "For Minnesota, they named grape salad as our signature side dish. And no one in Minnesota had ever heard of grape salad... it was kind of a harmless example, but if we don't tell the rest of the country who we are, we end up with grape salad." That story got under my skin, especially when I looked up the NYT idea of Ohio's signature side dish: English pea and onion salad. It gets worse. The Times extolled the salad's "deliciousness" by saying it "calls to mind the processed-food delights that, for decades, characterized the cooking of the Midwest." Seriously? The New York Times isn't solely to blame for the Midwest's image problem. Politicians are, too. Andrew Cayton is a distinguished professor of history at Miami University in Ohio. He wrote a book called "The Identity of the American Midwest: Essays on Regional History." "The Midwest," he told me, "has always been a dynamic and diverse place, but that image doesn't fit with what people want to believe." And, by people, Cayton means politicians who routinely use the Midwest as code for a place in time that never actually existed: crime-free and populated with hard-working people who all look and worship the same. "Arguing about the Midwest," Cayton says, "has become arguing about America as a whole." So, listen up, campaigning politicians! Stop trying to bond with the Midwest with your bowling prowess (or lack thereof) and for goodness' sake, stop eating corn dogs at state fairs. And while I'm at it, political reporters, please stop interviewing voters in diners! I'm not maligning bowling (my dad, Tony, is in the Amateur Bowling Hall of Fame) or corn dogs, but those things don't represent the modern Midwest. It is so much more dynamic and, yes, diverse. Chicago is not like Detroit. St. Louis is not like Pittsburgh. Indianapolis is not like Columbus, or Dayton or Cleveland or Cincinnati. And, Minneapolis is not like any of them, either. Minnesota boasts 10,000 lakes and a corresponding love of cold-weather sports, such as pond hockey. Yet, I'm from Canton, Ohio, and I have never touched a hockey stick (although those other "Northern" states certainly have excellent puck-handling abilities). Minneapolis also has a thriving cultural community, is home to 19 Fortune 500 companies and has a cuisine all its own that is not based on processed foods. And, at the moment -- it has what many polite Midwesterners can't abide by -- attitude. You know, Minnesota nice. Definition? As my pal from Wisconsin puts it, "sarcastic, pretentious and exclusionary." "I know. Arrogant Minnesota," Dayton joked. "That's what everyone thinks of when they think of Minnesota. Right? No, again, this isn't about being better. It's not a relative thing. It's just I think there are a lot of great things happening in Minnesota. It's not being recognized. I think it's important for the reasons we've discussed that there is recognition of what we have to offer. And so it's just putting forth our story. It's not trying to make it look better than it is. It's not comparing ourselves to anyone else." I don't know if Dayton will be successful, but I do understand why he wants Minnesota to define Minnesota. You don't attract the best and the brightest with "friendly." "There is a competition for talent," Dayton said. "And it's a national competition, even an international competition." Maybe Ohio should join the rebranding club and become "The East." 'Cause you know what? I may be friendly and hard-working, but I'm not simple. So stop asking me if I've ever gone "cow tipping." Or I just might go all Minnesota on you. | Costello: The Midwest is not 'flyover country' and has more to offer than friendliness. The region need rebranding, as two guys from Minneapolis are attempting, she says . |

What are the four major subregions in Central Otago? | "The Central Otago wine region is broken into multiple sub-regions, each with its own climate and characteristics.
Bannockburn is a small Geographical Indication on the southern banks of the Kawarau River near Cromwell and is a very warm area that was known by gold miners as ""the Heart of the Desert"". Grapes ripen early on sandy, silty loam soils. The elevation ranges from 220 to 370 metres (720 to 1,210 ft).
Bendigo lies east of the Clutha River / Mata-Au and Lake Dunstan, with grapes planted at both medium elevation (220 metres (720 ft)) and high elevation terraces (330 to 350 metres (1,080 to 1,150 ft)). This warm area has semi arid soils at variable depths, with free draining soils at the lower levels and shallower soils at higher elevations. The Bendigo sub-region includes the vineyards at Tarras and Maori Point.
Gibbston is a tight valley enclosed by mountainous terrain. About 250 hectares of vines are planted on sloping land on the southern bank of the Kawarau River. Gibbston is the coolest and highest of the sub-regions with vineyards between 320 and 420 metres (1,050 and 1,380 ft) altitude. It is sometimes referred to as the Queenstown subregion.
Wānaka, the smallest of the sub-regions, has vineyards planted between the banks of Lake Wānaka and the town of Luggate to the east. Ranging between 290 to 320 metres (950 to 1,050 ft) above sea level, the vineyards have a similar but slightly warmer climate than those at Gibbston.
The Alexandra Basin is surrounded by the Clutha River / Mata-Au and Manuherikia River and regularly records New Zealand's hottest summer temperatures. Schist outcrops dominate the arid landscape. A wide diurnal shift moderates the high temperatures.
The Cromwell Basin contains the highest concentration of vines, in an area bounded by the Kawarau River, Lake Dunstan and the Pisa mountain range. It is a warm district characterised by semi arid, high terraces and moraines and gently sloping fans." | The Central Otago wine region is broken into multiple sub-regions: Bannockburn, Bendigo, Bendigo and Wānaka |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | When on the BBC it was suggested to Sunderland manager Gus Poyet that the DVD of their thrashing at home by Aston Villa wouldn't make very edifying viewing, the phlegmatic gaffer replied 'you cannot pick what you like to watch'. Well, if Gus tuned in to watch his centre half Wes Brown on All Star Family Fortunes on Sunday evening, he might well have decided to pick up the DVD of that Villa game again, and stick it straight back in the recorder. Playing against soap and Strictly star Jill Halfpenny and her family, things were actually looking pretty good for the Browns at the start. As in, before they'd actually started playing. Wes Brown (left) appeared alongside his family in All Star Family Fortunes, where his team lost heavily . The Browns appeared to have got host Vernon Kay onside early, but soon lost their advantage . The Halfpennys hail from the North East, while Wes was playing a flat back four of sister, brother, wife and mother-in-law from Manchester. This had the man in the middle, Bolton's own Vernon Kay, immediately looking to favour the team from the North West. But even with the man in black in their pocket, the Browns were still about to have an absolute mare. And just like on Saturday, it began badly, and just got worse. Wes was first up at the buzzer with Jill. And on beating her to the ball, suggested that the thing you'd hang onto when it was windy was 'a railing'. And our survey said... well, I'll leave you to do the noise. So the Halfpennys nipped in, and nicked the lead. Yet a couple of the Browns' other answers - namely 'a child' and 'the elderly' - weren't far off, surely, from an actual correct answer 'somebody else'? Brown is brushed off the ball by Gabriel Agbonlahor in one of two poor performances this week . Gus Poyet didn't enjoy watching his side's defeat to Aston Villa, but Brown's TV appearance was even worse . Soap star Jill Halfpenny and her family made it a torrid weekend all round for the Sunderland midfielder . Frankly, the fact the Browns weren't surrounding the official on that one showed remarkable restraint on their part. Then, before you could blink, the Halfpennys had doubled their lead. And this time, it was very much through a Wes own goal. Who, as we had seen earlier in the show - when discovering about him from his family on a home video they'd made - has his own mini cinema and a grand piano in the front hall. So it's not all bad, eh? The challenge this time was to name a small bird. 'Pigeon', said Wes. Vernon did his best for him. 'Compared to an ostrich' was how he defended the defender's answer, but suffice to say... that noise again. Yet amazingly, there was arguably worse to come. The next question had the Browns pondering a variety of potential trouser malfunctions you might have while wearing a pair at work. Brown shares a joke with the host, but he failed to produce the goods on the pitch or the telly this week . I'm writing this sentence here now to give you a bit of time to think about a few possible answers for yourselves. I'll even point out, to give you a little more time, that Vernon did acknowledge that wearing trousers at work was not exactly in Wes' area of expertise. Wes said 'they'd changed colour'. Anyone else out there? Anyone? Frankly, this was turning into a rout. So even Wes was probably grateful when Vernon took time out to ask everyone to join him for a song from Wes' favourite musical - which happens to be the Sound of Music. That's right, Brown's fellow footballers. Just in case you think you might want to remind him of the fact next time you're with him in a dressing room or on the field of play. The Sunderland defender did however manage to raise plenty of money for charity . Perhaps something along the lines of the fact that he clearly couldn't Von Trapp a house brick? No, too much knowledge, that.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | As soon as Jose Mourinho declared Chelsea's Capital One Cup final against Tottenham as the most important final of his distinguished managerial career, it was hard to see past The Special One's side. And that could, in part, be down to the Chelsea manager's brilliant record in cup finals: he's lost just one final across 11 full seasons as a coach, winning 10 along the way plus seven league titles and four Community Shields or Super Cups. That makes it 21 trophies across 727 games, an average of a winner's medal every 35 matches. Jose Mourinho holds the Capital One Cup aloft, it is the 21st trophy of his career as a manager . The Portuguese coach lifts the cup in delight, and he believes 'finals are not for playing, they are for winning' The ecstatic Chelsea boss showed a contrasting mood to the miserable figure from recent press conferences .

'Finals are not for playing, they are for winning,' Mourinho said at full-time at Wembley, and he certainly believes in his own words given the impressive record he holds on show-piece occasions like Sunday. Victory over Spurs ended a two-year mini-drought for Mourinho, having come through a difficult final season at Real Madrid before failing in all three cup competitions and finishing third in the Barclays Premier League with Chelsea last season. That was his longest stretch without a trophy while in constant employment as a manager - and Sunday marked his first cup final success in almost four years. The only final that a Mourinho-led team has been beaten in came in 2013's Copa de Rey final when Real Madrid were defeated 2-1 by local rivals Atletico Madrid - and even then it took extra time to kill off Mourinho. Prior to that though, he had won all nine of his previous finals, picking up the Taca de Portugal, UEFA Cup and Champions League with Porto, two Carling Cups and an FA Cup in his first spell at Chelsea, a Coppa Italia and Champions League with Inter Milan and a Copa del Rey with Real.

Please give me a summary of the text on the origins of skateboarding. | The first skateboards started with wooden boxes, or boards, with roller skate wheels attached to the bottom. Crate scooters preceded skateboards, having a wooden crate attached to the nose (front of the board), which formed rudimentary handlebars. The boxes turned into planks, similar to the skateboard decks of today.
Skateboarding, as it exists today, was probably born sometime in the late 1940s, or early 1950s, when surfers in California wanted something to do when the waves were flat. This was called "sidewalk surfing" – a new wave of surfing on the sidewalk as the sport of surfing became highly popular. No one knows who made the first board; it seems that several people came up with similar ideas at around the same time. The first manufactured skateboards were ordered by a Los Angeles, California surf shop, meant to be used by surfers in their downtime. The shop owner, Bill Richard, made a deal with the Chicago Roller Skate Company to produce sets of skate wheels, which they attached to square wooden boards. Accordingly, skateboarding was originally denoted "sidewalk surfing" and early skaters emulated surfing style and maneuvers, and performed barefoot.
By the 1960s a small number of surfing manufacturers in Southern California such as Jack's, Kips', Hobie, Bing's and Makaha started building skateboards that resembled small surfboards, and assembled teams to promote their products. One of the earliest Skateboard exhibitions was sponsored by Makaha's founder, Larry Stevenson, in 1963 and held at the Pier Avenue Junior High School in Hermosa Beach, California. Some of these same teams of skateboarders were also featured on a television show called Surf's Up in 1964, hosted by Stan Richards, that helped promote skateboarding as something new and fun to do.
As the popularity of skateboarding began expanding, the first skateboarding magazine, The Quarterly Skateboarder was published in 1964. John Severson, who published the magazine, wrote in his first editorial:
Today's skateboarders are founders in this sport—they're pioneers—they are the first. There is no history in Skateboarding—its being made now—by you. The sport is being molded and we believe that doing the right thing now will lead to a bright future for the sport. Already, there are storm clouds on the horizon with opponents of the sport talking about ban and restriction.
The magazine only lasted four issues, but resumed publication as Skateboarder in 1975. The first broadcast of an actual skateboarding competition was the 1965 National Skateboarding Championships, which were held in Anaheim, California and aired on ABC's Wide World of Sports. Because skateboarding was a new sport during this time, there were only two original disciplines during competitions: flatland freestyle and slalom downhill racing.
Animated cartoons of the time occasionally featured skateboard gags. Two Road Runner cartoons made in 1965, Shot and Bothered and Out and Out Rout, feature Wile E. Coyote riding a skateboard.
One of the earliest sponsored skateboarders, Patti McGee, was paid by Hobie and Vita Pak to travel around the country to do skateboarding exhibitions and to demonstrate skateboarding safety tips. McGee made the cover of Life magazine in 1965 and was featured on several popular television programs—The Mike Douglas Show, What's My Line? and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson—which helped make skateboarding even more popular at the time. Some other well known surfer-style skateboarders of the time were Danny Bearer, Torger Johnson, Bruce Logan, Bill and Mark Richards, Woody Woodward, and Jim Fitzpatrick.
The growth of the sport during this period can also be seen in sales figures for Makaha, which quoted $4 million worth of board sales between 1963 and 1965. By 1966 a variety of sources began to claim that skateboarding was dangerous, resulting in shops being reluctant to sell them, and parents being reluctant to buy them. In 1966 sales had dropped significantly and Skateboarder Magazine had stopped publication. The popularity of skateboarding dropped and remained low until the early 1970s. | Sidewalk surfing, known today as skateboarding, originated in the late 1940s out of the desire of California surfers hoping to still ride when waves were flat. By the 1960s, a small number of surfing manufacturers began selling skateboards hoping to bring more attention to the sport. Skateboarding began to rapidly increase in popularity in the 1970s due to improvements to the design elements and materials used on the boards. |

What about the battle of Salamis (fought in 480 BC), do many historians believe make it one of the most significant battles of human history? | Like the Battles of Marathon and Thermopylae, Salamis has gained something of a 'legendary' status (unlike, for instance, the more decisive Battle of Plataea), perhaps because of the desperate circumstances and the unlikely odds. A significant number of historians have stated that Salamis is one of the most significant battles in human history (though the same is often stated of Marathon). In a more extreme form of this argument, some historians argue that if the Greeks had lost at Salamis, the ensuing conquest of Greece by the Persians would have effectively stifled the growth of Western Civilization as we know it. This view is based on the premise that much of modern Western society, such as philosophy, science, personal freedom and democracy are rooted in the legacy of Ancient Greece. Thus, this school of thought argues that, given the domination of much of modern history by Western Civilization, Persian domination of Greece might have changed the whole trajectory of human history. It is also worth mentioning that the celebrated blossoming of hugely influential Athenian culture occurred only after the Persian wars were won.
From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Salamis | The battle (fought between the Persian Empire and Greek City-States in 480 BC) is still considered by many historians to be a foundational event in the development of Western Civilization and modern Democracy. Some say that if the Greeks had lost at Salamis it could have had profound effects on the trajectory of human history. Historian's trace back much of today's Western ideals in philosophy, culture, politics, and science to Ancient Greece. They deduce that if Persia had won the Greco-Persian wars it could have oppressed the blossoming of many modern Western schools of thought.
Salamis is one of many skirmishes fought over the course of almost half a century during this conflict. There were other pivotal battles that contributed to the Greek victory, like Marathon and Plataea. However, if Salamis had been won by the Persians, the Greek navy would have been unable to stop them from establishing beachheads across Greece. Much of the Greek victory has been attributed to their use of the environment to their advantage; leveraging natural chokepoints (like at Salamis) to reduce the effectiveness of Persia's numerical advantage. Had Salamis fallen to the Persians it's reasonable to assume that this strategy would have failed and Persia's massive armies would have been able to dominate the Greeks.
It's also impossible to predict the outcome of the war if Persia had won this battle, even though chances are things would have ended very differently. Salamis is perhaps more highly regarded because of the long odds the Greek navy faced. They were able to prevail despite being largely outnumbered, which could also be why it's considered such a remarkable event. |

Generate a summary of the text | At my current vintage, 62, my mother was content to spend her days playing golf, perhaps a rubber of bridge, popping in on the grandchildren, then spending the evening watching TV. In the past seven days, by contrast, I’ve attended a leaving party for friends in their late 50s who are starting a new life in the country; given a presentation on Post-War Art And The Politics Of Memory to fellow undergraduates on my part-time degree course; drooled over Ralph Fiennes in his latest theatre production; and hosted supper for some girlfriends — finding time, in between, to buy a pair of skinny jeans and get my roots tinted. Like most women of my age, I’m occasionally exhausted, but in the main, engaged, active and having as much (if not more) fun than ever. Linda Kelsey says aged 62 she is occasionally exhausted but is very active and having more fun than ever . So, I can’t understand why Mariella Frostrup — a woman who is smart, successful, has the voice of a vamp and looks that make men of most ages go weak at the knees — has declared herself, at a mere 52, the poster girl for the fed up 50-something brigade. Despite the evidence to the contrary, Frostrup thinks women over 50 are the hard done by generation. ‘Politicians don’t talk to us,’ she moans. ‘Advertisers ignore us. We aren’t sold music or movies, fashion or cosmetics, aside from “miracle” creams promising to reduce wrinkles so we dare show our unsightly faces in public.’ It simply isn’t so, Mariella. Julianne Moore, 54, has won an Oscar, Julie Walters, 65, has stolen the limelight from the young, good-looking cast of Channel 4’s Indian Summers and 50 Shades Of Grey, based on the books of E. L. James, 51, has become the highest grossing 18-plus film ever. Monica Bellucci, 50, is smouldering away as the latest Bond girl, 65-year-old Twiggy is fronting a magazine cover and new beauty campaign, and Theresa May, 58, is said to be in the running as a potential next leader of the Tory party. All this as The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, full of fabulous oldies, promises to outdo the success of the first on the (truly) silver screen. Mariella Frostrup, 52 (pictured), thinks women over 50 are the hard done by generation . Having conflated her existential angst at turning 50 with what she perceives is going on in society at large, Mariella seems to have missed the blindingly obvious fact that older women have never been so visible — or so courted. Not just by politicians, who know the grey vote is the most likely to turn out at the ballot box. But now we’re worth more than a bob or two (over-50s represent 76 per cent of the nation’s wealth), by retailers and advertisers who realise we’re worth wooing because of, and despite, our wrinkles. That makes me grateful, not grumpy. Compared with our mothers’ generation, there’s been a seismic shift in attitudes. Even if there’s still a way to go we should be recognising that whole new windows of opportunity have opened up. Julianne Moore, 54 (pictured), won the Best Actress accolade at this year's Oscars . Like Mariella, I remember that turning 50 can feel like the beginning of the end. Yet when I saw older friends were getting on with their lives with added relish, I was determined to enter my new half-century with cocktails and laughter. To paraphrase Noel Coward: to hell with what comes after. I hired a marquee and invited 100 family and friends to eat, drink and dance the night away. The party broke up at 3am when the police shut us down because the music was annoying neighbours three streets away. Of course, there are real physical and psychological reasons why hitting the big Five-0 may be a wobbly moment in a woman’s life. Julie Walters, 65 (pictured), has stolen the limelight from the rest of the cast of Channel 4’s Indian Summers . While the menopause can be liberating, it carries a sense of loss of possibilities as well; at least it did for me. Not to mention it saw me stop sleeping and take up sweating and flushing bright red for three years. But while former generations had to suffer in silence, with HRT and alternative remedies and therapies, we can at least alleviate some of the symptoms. My 50s weren’t without their fair share of turbulence. At 55, my 23-year relationship came to an end after my husband announced he needed a gap year and never came back. My darling dad died that same year. My only son left the nest shortly after and I had emergency surgery for a blockage in my intestines that nearly killed me. But determined not to be defeated, I set myself a bucket list, including writing a novel (I published three) and learning to sing (sadly, my voice is as awful as ever). I started walking an hour a day, and went back to university to study art and literature, one of the most stimulating and satisfying things I’ve ever done. Monica Bellucci, 50 (pictured), is the latest Bond girl and will star in the new 007 film, Spectre . And after my marriage breakdown, I was overawed to find out love can flower at any age and sex can be better than ever. I was 56 when I met my partner, Ronny, a year after my husband walked out. All these things I did or discovered because, as a woman in my 50s, I still could. How different it was for my mother’s generation, who seemed to accept that slowing down was inevitable in their 50s. ‘You do too much, you need to rest,’ is my 87-year-old mother’s mantra. In some ways, we women in our 50s and beyond aren’t just luckier than our mothers, we’re also luckier than the men of our own generation. As we go downhill physically, we have an arsenal of hair dye, skincare and make-up at our disposal, and can even have work done if we’re all that bothered. As for fashion, I don’t resent the fact that I can’t suit all the latest trends. These days I stick to tried-and-tested shapes and styles that work for me — there are plenty of retailers supplying them. There’s still so much I plan to do. There’s another novel to write. A Masters degree once I’ve collected my BA later this year. 65-year-old Twiggy (pictured) is fronting a magazine cover and new beauty campaign . If some of the ads aimed my way are the Saga cruises Mariella objects to, that also doesn’t bother me — my partner and I have planned our American road trip this summer with the help of the internet rather than a package tour. M y friends aren’t being put out to pasture, either. One of my closest, who’s just turned 65, was devastated when her husband left three years ago after 40 years. But after dabbling with internet dating she met a lovely new beau. Mariella’s portrayal of older women feels outmoded and overplayed — not to mention the route to becoming self-obsessed and feeling terminally sorry for ourselves. Getting old is impossible to imagine when you’re young. But then getting old is not what it used to be. The truth is we older women have never had it so good and the opportunities to turn this stage of the game into the time of our lives have never been more abundant. We should all be celebrating, not complaining. | Mariella Frostrup, 52, thinks women over 50 are hard done by . Linda Kelsey, 62, believes there’s been a seismic shift in attitudes .

Dr Meulener said: ‘The reason why most people have a problem flossing is that they try to get too much floss in their mouths. ‘The way to control it is to use your thumbs for your upper teeth and middle fingers for your lower teeth. ‘Put that amount of floss between these fingers so you can manipulate it easily from one side to the next.’ Then, put the floss between two teeth and floss in and up and down motion along the teeth, rather than a sawing motion from side to side. 1. Take a piece of wax dental floss and put each thumb about and inch apart . 2. Put the floss between the upper teeth . 3. Keeping the back thumb stationary, move the front thumb up and down to floss the tooth . 4. Do not floss in a 'sawing motion' - back and forth - but up and down, rubbing the floss up and down the tooth . 5. Repeat using the middle fingers for the bottom teeth . ‘We’re flossing the walls of one tooth and the other tooth and polishing the bacteria off those surfaces,’ Dr Meulener said. One thumb should stay stationary while the other thumb is moved up and down, creating the flossing motion. Similarly, when flossing the lower teeth, one middle finger should stay stationary while the other is moved, it in order to manipulate the floss so it rubs up and down against the inside of the tooth. Dr Meulener says this method, which takes just a minute, is the best and most efficient way to floss. He said: ‘It takes a minute and it really makes a difference to dental health.’ In the past, studies have shown that flossing teeth can prevent the build up of plaque, which sticks to teeth and causes irritation, inflammation to gums known as gum disease. Gum disease causes bad breath, bleeding gums and, if untreated, cavities, receding gums and tooth loss. Worldwide, 15- 20 per cent of adults aged 35-44 years have severe gum disease, which may result in the loss of teeth. He advises using two thumbs for the upper teeth, or two middle fingers for the lower teeth, and flossing in an 'up and down' motion rather than 'sawing' from side to side . In the UK, the The Adult Dental Health Survey of 2009 found 47 per cent of the population had moderate to severe gum disease - around 30 million people. Research shows losing teeth could signal a higher risk of suffering heart disease and diabetes. Swedish researchers found people with fewer teeth and bleeding gums were more likely to have a range of cardiovascular problems, including heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. They found poor dental hygiene and bleeding gums could allow up to 700 different types of bacteria to get into the bloodstream, which increases the risk of a heart attack regardless of how fit and healthy the person is. Previous studies have also linked bad teeth to Alzheimer's, heart disease, strokes, diabetes, lung disease and even miscarriage and premature birth. | Video features Dr Carlos Meulener, a dentist from New Jersey, .

What are two species of beavers? | Beavers (genus Castor) are large, semiaquatic rodents of the Northern Hemisphere. There are two extant species: the North American beaver (Castor canadensis) and the Eurasian beaver (C. fiber). Beavers are the second-largest living rodents, after capybaras. Beavers have stout bodies with large heads, long chisel-like incisors, brown or gray fur, hand-like front feet, webbed back feet, and tails that are flat and scaly. The two species differ in skull and tail shape and fur color. Beavers can be found in a number of freshwater habitats, such as rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. They are herbivorous, consuming tree bark, aquatic plants, grasses and sedges. | The two species of beavers are the North American beaver and the Eurasian beaver. |
Based on the reference text, provide a summary of how the monthly benefit amount for social security is calculated. | Primary Insurance Amount and Monthly Benefit Amount calculations
Main article: Primary Insurance Amount
Workers in Social Security covered employment pay FICA (Federal Insurance Contributions Act) or SECA (Self Employed Contributions Act) taxes and earn quarters of coverage if earnings are above minimum amounts specified in the law. Workers with 40 quarters of coverage (QC) are "fully insured" and eligible for retirement benefits. Retirement benefit amounts depend upon the average of the person's highest 35 years of "adjusted" or "indexed" earnings. A person's payroll-taxable earnings from earlier years are adjusted for economy-wide wage growth, using the national average wage index (AWI), and then averaged. If the worker has fewer than 35 years of covered earnings these non-contributory years are assigned zero earnings. The sum of the highest 35 years of adjusted or indexed earnings divided by 420 (35 years times 12 months per year) produces a person's Average Indexed Monthly Earnings or AIME.
The AIME is then used to calculate the Primary Insurance Amount or PIA. For workers who turn 62 in 2021, the PIA computation formula is:
(a) 90 percent of the first $996 of average indexed monthly earnings, plus
(b) 32 percent of average indexed monthly earnings between $996 and $6,002, plus
(c) 15 percent of average indexed monthly earnings over $6,002
For workers who turn 62 in the future, the 90, 32, and 15 percent factors in the computation formula will remain the same but the dollar amounts in the formula (called bend points) will increase by wage growth in the national economy, as measured by the AWI. Because the AIME and the PIA calculation incorporate the AWI, Social Security benefits are said to be wage indexed. Because wages typically grow faster than prices, the PIAs for workers turning 62 in the future will tend to be higher in real terms but similar relative to average earnings in the economy at the time age 62 is attained.
Monthly benefit amounts are based on the PIA. Once the PIA is computed, it is indexed for price inflation over time. Thus, Social Security monthly benefit amounts retain their purchasing power throughout a person's retirement years.
A worker who first starts receiving a retirement benefit at the full retirement age receives a monthly benefit amount equal to 100 percent of the PIA. A worker who claims the retirement benefit before the full retirement age receives a reduced monthly benefit amount and a worker who claims at an age after the full retirement age (up to age 70) receives an increased monthly amount.
The 90, 32, and 15 percent factors in the PIA computation lead to higher replacement rates for persons with lower career earnings. For example, a retired individual whose average earnings are below the first bend point can receive a monthly benefit at the full retirement age that equals 90 percent of the person's average monthly earnings before retirement. The table shows replacement rates for workers who turned 62 in 2013.
The PIA computation formula for disabled workers parallels that for retired workers except the AIME is based on fewer years to reflect disablement before age 62. The monthly benefit amount of a disabled worker is 100 percent of PIA.
Benefits for spouses, children, and widow(er)s depend on the PIAs of a spouse or a deceased spouse. Aged spouse and divorced spouse beneficiaries can receive up to 50 percent of the PIA. Survivor benefit rates are higher and aged widow(er)s and aged surviving divorced spouses can receive 100 percent of the PIA.
Federal, state and local employees who have elected (when they could) NOT to pay FICA taxes are eligible for a reduced FICA benefits and full Medicare coverage if they have more than forty quarters of qualifying Social Security covered work. To minimize the Social Security payments to those who have not contributed to FICA for 35+ years and are eligible for federal, state and local benefits, which are usually more generous, Congress passed the Windfall Elimination Provision, WEP. The WEP provision will not eliminate all Social Security or Medicare eligibility if the worker has 40 quarters of qualifying income, but calculates the benefit payments by reducing the 90% multiplier in the first PIA bendpoint to 40–85% depending on the number of Years of Coverage. Foreign pensions are subject to WEP.
A special minimum benefit, based on an alternative PIA calculation, is available for some workers with long careers but low earnings. However, it is rarely higher than the regularly-computed PIA and thus few workers qualify for the special minimum benefit. Only 32,000 individuals received the special minimum benefit in 2019.
The benefits someone is eligible for are potentially so complicated that potential retirees should consult the Social Security Administration directly for advice. Many questions are addressed and at least partially answered on many online publications and online calculators. | The monthly benefit amount for social security is calculated by determining an individual's highest 35 years of "indexed" earnings. The sum of the highest 35 years of "indexed" earnings is divided by 420, which is the number of months in 35 years, to determine an individuals Average Indexed Monthly Earnings, which is referred to as AIME. Once an individuals AIME is determined, the formula to calculate the monthly benefit is as follows:
- 90 percent of the first $996 of AIME, plus
- 32 percent of AIME between $996 and $6,002, plus
- 15 percent of AIME over $6,002 |

To mark the launch of the Jeff Astle Foundation, the Baggies will don a replica of the white kit worn in the 1968 FA Cup final win over Everton at Wembley. Astle scored the winner that day, his most famous Albion moment, and he will be remembered and honoured on 'Astle Day' at The Hawthorns for the Leicester game. Saido Berahino (left) and Darren Fletcher model the historic 1968 FA Cup final kit that West Bromwich Albion will wear in next month's Premier League match with Leicester in honour of club legend Jeff Astle . The white kit, which doesn't feature any sponsorship, will be worn on 'Jeff Astle day' when a new foundation will be launched in his name to raise funds for research into CTE, the condition that caused his death . A close-up of the special West Brom logo that will be worn on the white shirts . Jeff Astle was a prolific centre forward who scored 174 goals in 361 matches for West Bromwich Albion in a decade-long spell at The Hawthorns between 1964 and 1974. Known as 'The King' by supporters of the club, Astle's crowning glory came when he scored the extra time winner in the 1968 FA Cup final against Everton at Wembley. Two years later, Astle scored in Albion's 2-1 defeat to Manchester City in the League Cup final, becoming the first player to score in finals of both English cup competitions at Wembley. Astle won five caps for England and was part of the squad at the 1970 World Cup in Mexico. He passed away on January 19, 2002 at the age of 59, with a coroner finding that repeated minor traumas caused by heading the heavy leather footballs of his era were the cause of his death. Baggies fans applaud in the ninth minute of every game - No 9 was his shirt number - in tribute to him. His family will officially launch the Foundation, which will raise funds for research into CTE or chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Astle died of the condition in 2002 at the age of just 59. The disease is normally linked to boxing but coroners at the footballer's inquest ruled Astle's brain had been damaged by heading heavy leather footballs in the 1960s and 1970s. The Justice for Jeff campaign was launched after this and at every game this season, Baggies fans have held a minute-long round of applause in the ninth minute as he wore the No 9 shirt for the club. The historic kit, modelled by club captain Darren Fletcher and striker Saido Berahino, features no sponsorship logos and the players will be numbered 1-11 as was tradition at the time. It is only the second time the Premier League have given special dispensation for a replica strip to be worn - the other was for Manchester United on the 50th anniversary of the Munich Air Disaster in 2008. Jeff's widow Laraine and daughters Dawn and Claire chose the Leicester fixture because they provided the opposition on Astle's debut for the Baggies 50 years ago. Astle played 361 matches for West Brom between 1964 and 1974, scoring 174 goals . Astle died at the age of 59 in 2002, with coroners ruling the cause was heading heavy leather footballs . Club chairman Jeremy Peace said: 'We promised at the start of the season to honour both Jeff and his family's efforts to raise awareness of an important issue by dedicating a home game to him - and it promises to be a special day. 'We are absolutely delighted the Premier League have granted permission for this kit change as an additional salute to a footballer who remains much loved. 'We are mindful that it is only the second time this has happened which I think says much about Jeff's standing and the gravity football places on the issues his death raised. 'We must not forget to also thank our sponsors Intuit QuickBooks and kit suppliers Adidas. When we presented them with the idea they immediately grasped the spirit of the project and graciously stepped aside. 'The one minute ovations for Jeff and the 'if in doubt, sit it out' campaign this season have been well supported by fans up and down the country and now the launch of the Foundation gives a new impetus to the family's efforts. 'There is a need to support the research required to understand more about the issues the Astle family have fought so hard to raise.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Captain of St Mirren at 17 the course of Tony Fitzpatrick’s life altered on a January morning in 1983. The day he lost his six-year-old son. His previous existence had been blinkered, revolving around the mainstays of family, football and faith. His family was shattered by the death of son Anthony following a two year battle with acute myeloid leukaemia. Somehow, the football and faith - subjected to anguished, grief stricken examinations in the months which followed - survived. “I have always believed in God" reflects Fitzpatrick, sipping fizzy water in a coffee shop in Glasgow's west end. “But what happened to little Tony made me angry. I wondered how something like that could happen. Tony Fitzpatrick wants his book to serve as a legacy for the six-year-old son he lost to leukaemia . “It challenged my faith for a wee spell. It challenged how I felt. “There was anger, bitterness, every emotion you might associate with bereavement. “I just couldn’t understand why God had done it. Even to this day I still ask myself the question.” He sought refuge and answers in writing. Scribbled notes on his experiences and emotions became a habit. The outcome of his jottings is ‘The Promise, Together Again’, the 59-year-old’s first book. It features the adventures of Babakoochi Bear, the pet name he used for the son lost 32 years ago. The memories are undimmed by the passage of time. He remembers the awful weather most. Through the grey clouds and rain enveloping Glasgow’s Hospital for Sick Children he grasped for a silver lining. “I always remember my wife and I coming out to the car park after Tony died and there being most stunning rainbow I had ever seen. “Maybe I was looking for something. But the colours were so vibrant, it was stunning. To me it was a sign. A sign of.... something." A committed, church goer he interpreted the rainbow as a token of hope. Some kind of message from above. Yet in the months which followed he examined his faith and found it wanting. Rationalising what kind of kind of God might take the life of an innocent six-year-old child proved impossible. An uneasy, restless peace descended slowly. “Listen, after a time faith became a great comfort again. You don’t know where it comes from. But when you are in despair your beliefs offer you peace and help when you need it most. “But was that challenged for a time? Yes. Yes, it was. They say time is a healer. You hear that all the time. And it probably is to some degree. “But when you lose a child you never ever get over it. “You learn to live with it. But that’s all. “Tony died in 1983. But every day he is with me in my life. “I feel him all the time in the room. “I can sit with my eyes closed in a quiet space and I don’t see him. But I take comfort from the fact I feel he is there. “It never gets any easier. There are times all these years on when I still break down for no reason.” Former St Mirren captain Fitzpatrick (right) in action for his club against Celtic . When religion was no comfort for his loss, professional football filled the void. Fitzpatrick was just 24 when his child’s illness was diagnosed and 26 when he died. In the course of two and a half years maturity was thrust upon his shoulders in brutal fashion. “I had been very, very selfish,” he reflects now. “What the illness of my son did was make me realise there were things in life more important than football. “For 90 minutes you would play and then as soon as the game was over it was ‘right, I have to get to the hospital.’ “Ach, I still played after he died. But something was missing.” His career, until then, had been on an upward trajectory. He started under Sir Alex Ferguson at Love Street, appointed skipper as a teenager, before a move to Bristol City, where Roy Hodgson was the manager . He returned to Paisley after two years, flirting with a Scotland cap and winning a Scottish Cup winners’ medal in 1987. Fitzpatrick managed St Mirren twice and remains a respected, likable figure in Scottish football. His 642 appearances for St Mirren make him a club icon, yet grief took a yard from his legs. “I always tried my best. I played in a good St Mirren team with guys like McAvennie, Frank McDougal and Peter Weir – really good players. “We had good teams, we were in Europe and we won a Scottish Cup. “But I had always had a deep desire to be the best player I could be. When Tony took ill it wasn’t the same. “I remember beating Celtic 3-1 and things were going great. It was looking good. And then ‘bang.’ “He had been unwell for a couple of weeks. One night he was really bad and I came down for training the next morning and saw he wasn’t right. “I went back to the doctor and told him Tony had purple spots. That’s when the alarm bells rung. “Within minutes of taking him in we were sent to Yorkhill Sick Kids’ hospital. “He had septicaemia, meningitis and then they found the leukaemia. His prospects were awful. “We spent all our time in Yorkhill. We slept there. “In the course of two and a half years we had Tony at home for no more than three months.” Tuesdays and Thursdays were spent donating blood to improve the quality of his son’s remaining days. With Elizabeth went on to have another boy and a set of twins before the couple went their separate ways. A product of the West of Scotland before counselling became the fashiom, however, Fitzpatrick found it difficult to express himself beyond the football pitch. He wasn't the only one. “I remember when little Tony died that neighbours and friends didn’t know what to say to us. “They would cross the road because they couldn’t deal with it. “I was very conscious of it and later they would explain they didn’t want to cry or break down. “My daughter was nine when it all happened and I regret that I couldn’t express my feelings to her either. “The little soul was left to cope because I couldn’t speak about it. “It occurred to me then that a book might be a way of breaking down the barrier.” Babakoochi Bear, the star of ‘The Promise, Together Again’, dedicates himself to pursuing peace on earth while adressing the themes of grief, loss and the rainbow which appeared over Yorkhill in January 83.. Fitzpatrick concedes that writing was also a form of catharsis. His way of finding some inner peace. “People feel their grief in different ways,” he admits. “I’m not educated in any way, but I started to jot down ideas about Babakoochi Bear and that developed. “I waited a long time – but this was the right time. I had a huge urge to do it.” An initial print run of 1000 books, with professional illustrations, cost money and when it sells out Fitzpatrick will use the funds to print more. Further stories of Babakoochi Bear’s travails bulge from notebooks in his Glasgow home and the Waterstones branch closest to Paisley have agreed to stock the book aimed at 7-11 year olds. “I did it for Tony,” explains Fitzpatrick. “Listen, he was a normal wee boy – he could be a wee nightmare at times like any child. “But he made a big impact on a lot of people in a short time. And more than anything I want this book to serve as his legacy.” ‘The Promise; Together Again’ by Tony Fitzpatrick is available from www.babakoochibear.com . | Tony Fitzpatrick lost his six-year-old son in 1983 after a leukaemia battle .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has experienced the harsh realities of his philosophies being called into question but unlike some critics he has no doubt about the credentials of Louis van Gaal to get things right at Manchester United. When the pair last met back in December at Old Trafford United won 3-0, a result which bizarrely actually had more of an effect on the beaten visitors. They have not lost in the Premier League since and, ahead of the clash at Anfield on Sunday, the perception of Liverpool - and Rodgers - has changed completely. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has lavished praise on opposite number Louis van Gaal (pictured) Rodgers has lauded Van Gaal ahead of Liverpool's home match against Manchester United . United are currently two points ahead of Liverpool . That loss against United was the last in a run of eight matches which brought just eight points and left Liverpool in 10th place, seven points off fourth. However, after taking 33 points from a possible 39 they are just two points behind United, who occupy the final Champions League spot. United, by contrast, are still failing to impress in Van Gaal's first season in charge despite their league position with many questioning whether he actually knows what his best side is and whether he is getting the best out of the talent he has at his disposal. But Rodgers believes that should not reflect badly on the Dutchman. 'I don't think there is any convincing (required). He has shown over his career that he is a top-class manager,' he said. 'He will have seen, coming into this country for the first time, the challenges of this football - it is why it is the most competitive league in the world. 'The Premier League is different from the leagues he will have worked in before but I don't think you can argue with his credentials. Van Gaal's Manchester United go into the Barclays Premier League match at Anfield in fourth position . 'There is no question about the philosophies he has put in place at Ajax or Barcelona or his achievements and when he leaves Manchester United he will still be one of the great managers.' Rodgers found himself under similar scrutiny after Liverpool's poor first half of the season but things have turned around and he is flavour of the month once again. He admits August to December was a tough period for him, when his methods were being called into question, but believes he has come out the other side stronger for it. 'I've said to coaches and players that when the criticism comes, deserved or undeserved, you won't like it but you have to accept it as it is part of the game,' he added. 'As a manager you have to take the circumstance of where you are at. That won't fit with results but it is quite easy, you have to stay focused. 'You have to have an inherent belief of how you work and when it is scrutinised and ridiculed you go back to that platform of why and how you work. 'You know you are going to get it at some stage and in your career it is important you come out the other side. Rodgers, pictured during Liverpool's slender win over Swansea, insists his side will not be taking United lightly . 'I am early in my career as a manager but that period benefited me. 'It is the challenges of being a manager at any level, you are scrutinised but you have to stay calm and believe in your qualities as a coach and manager.' Liverpool are the top-flight's form team at the moment but Rodgers will not be taking United for granted, whatever the critics say about their performances this season. 'They have a lot of talent and made a lot of investment in world-class players in the summer and they have an outstanding manager,' he said. 'They have been up there all season and will want to stay there so we have to stay on the chase but I don't worry about them clicking. 'It is an important game. These games in particular are always great spectacles and the rivalry is historic. 'It is at Anfield against a big rival and we want to win the game. I don't think the result will have an overriding factor (on the race for the top four) because there are a number of games to go but psychologically it can give you a great boost.' | Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers has heaped praise on Louis van Gaal .

The video, posted on Facebook, captures the afternoon brawl at a McDonald’s near Erasmus Hall High School on Flatbush Avenue. Despite being outnumbered, the small girl gives as good as she gets and at one point she pulls a black hoodie off one of her attackers to reveal a bra. Towards the end of the video - which has been shared more than 19,000 times and viewed more than 740,000 - the smaller girl is left cowering under a table. Finally an adult appears and attempts to break up the fight, but the taller attacker now stripped down to her bra kicks and stomps on her victim's head, calling her a 'bitch,' before storming off. Bystanders can be heard saying, 'She’s dead,' and, 'You murdered her.' One of the main protagonists in the fight is left stripped to her bra, while the girl being picked on is so weak at the end that she collapses on a bench . A few students then intervene, pick the small girl up and sit her on a nearby bench. Immediately she collapses and so the students help her to lie down. NYPD have reviewed the video, but there is very little they can do because it doesn’t appear that anyone has filed a complaint, reports the New York Daily News. Brooklyn community activist Tony Herbert hopes the victim comes forward and is demanding her assailants be arrested. 'The message has to be sent very clearly, that this kind of violence will not be tolerated whether in a mall or in restaurants and those involved should turn themselves in to authorities immediately so as to face the consequences of their violent actions,' he said. Anyone with information about the fight is asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1-800-577-TIPS.

Fellaini finished well after Kompany's initial shot had been saved, with the Manchester City skipper sent off after the hour mark as he picked up a second yellow card for fouling Eran Zahavi. That dismissal was a boost for Belgium's Group B rivals Wales, with Kompany now suspended for the game in Cardiff in June.

The win took Belgium above Wales on goal difference and into top spot in the pool, though, with Fellaini scoring his third goal of the week to seal three points. The Manchester United man was on hand to turn home after Israel goalkeeper Ofir Marciano pushed out Kompany's effort following Kevin de Bruyne's deep free-kick. De Bruyne came close to doubling the Red Devils' lead, but could only drill his 25-yard effort wide, with Israel's first clear chance not coming until just before the break as Thibaut Courtois kept out Tomer Hemed's shot. Berbras Natcho and Zahavi both brought smart stops out of the Chelsea goalkeeper in the second half before Kompany was given his marching orders by Premier League referee Mark Clattenberg. Despite a numerical advantage, Israel could not find an equaliser as Ben Sahar, Natcho and Nir Biton came closest to rescuing a result for the hosts. Belgium almost made sure of the points, but Axel Witsel missed the target with a header and Toby Alderweireld's effort was not strong enough to beat Marciano. In the end it did not matter as Fellaini's solitary strike not only continued his own fine goalscoring form but also saw Marc Wilmot's side move to the head of the group.

Generate a summary of the text | A group of male submariners traded illicit videos of female officers in various stages of undress as if they were Pokémon cards, a U.S. Navy prosecutor said on Thursday. Navy prosecutors presented evidence against two of 12 male sailors accused of illegally making and trading videos of female officers aboard a nuclear submarine that was among the first to allow American women to serve alongside men. The two men in court Thursday, both missile technicians aboard the USS Wyoming nuclear submarine, based at Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia, were accused of trading the videos with other sailors. Going under: The USS Wyoming submarine, based at the Kings Bay Naval Submarine Base in Georgia. A group of 12 male submariners serving aboard the vessel stand accused of taking secret footage of their female colleagues undressing and trading it 'like Pokémon cards' Another sailor aboard the Wyoming made the videos with his smartphone and then told others that he had a 'gift for them,' Navy prosecuting attorney Lieutenant Commander. Lee Marsh said. Once the sailor who took the videos arrived back onshore, Marsh said, he shared them with the others by 'bumping' their smartphones together. The videos were not posted online. 'Videos were treated like Pokémon. Something to be collected,' Marsh said during the preliminary hearing in the case against two missile technicians charged with conspiracy to distribute recordings of private areas of female officers. Navy Vice Admiral Michael Connor, commander of the nation's submarine fleet, has characterized the case as a 'serious sexual offence, with significant penalties.' The case highlights issues the Navy has faced in switching to co-ed crews on ballistic-missile submarines. It began the practice in 2011. More than 50 women now serve aboard submarines, and Connor has said while the change to coed crews has not been without incident, overall it has been a success. Navy Lt. Paul Hochmuth, defense attorney for one of the accused missile technicians who was in court on Thursday, said his client didn't know what the files were when he accepted the 'gift' on his phone. Cartoon capers: The submariners on the USS Wyoming submarine were accused of capturing illicit footage of their female colleagues undressing for the shower and trading it like Pokémon cards, which are based on the popular children's cartoon show (pictured) He argued that the government was unfairly describing the videos as graphic, as they were of poor quality, only ever viewed on smartphones, and showed only partial nudity. 'At no point can you ever see a full length view of the person... You might see a face... then a leg... or a butt... but there is no full length view,' Hochmuth said. Marsh said the quality of the videos is irrelevant because they were made without consent and that they were explicit. 'The videos consist of... undressing for the shower and drying off from the shower,' he said. The hearing was presided over by a Naval officer, who listened to statements from both sides and will issue a recommendation to Rear Admiral Charles Richard, commander of submarine group 10. Richard will decide whether to pursue court martial trials against the defendants, dismiss the charges, or use other administrative methods to deal with the cases. | A gang of 12 submariners stand accused of serious sexual offences after secretly filming their female colleagues getting undressed .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | When Western explorers first discovered set eyes on animals in far-flung locations, artists had the difficult job of depicting them from their exotic descriptions. Now these paintings, including one of a scaly rhino with horns on its back, are among the works going on display at an exhibition entitled ‘Strange Creatures’. The show will examine the history of animal representations and how art was used to bring newly discovered creatures into the public eye, especially before the days of zoos, the television and the internet. Researchers’ stories include medieval accounts of exotic creatures and art from the ages of exploration. This is a copy of Dürer's rhino, made in 1558, which was based on a written description. It has fantastical armour and a strange shoulder horn, and became an enduring image of rhinos for Europeans . The images, which was picked by palaeontologists, historians of science and exploration and art experts, will be go on display at the Grant Museum of Zoology at University College London. Researchers’ stories include medieval accounts of exotic creatures, art from the ages of exploration and empire, sailors who faked ‘dragon’ specimens by manipulating dried fish and even contemporary knitted craft taxidermy. For the dragons, sailors would cut rays and skates in a certain way, and then dry them out. This created specimens that were then sold as dragons and angels, Grant Museum Manager Jack Ashby who curated Strange Creatures, told MailOnline. 'Naturalists drew these creatures for engravings in their books, which others would copy. 'Each time, the artist might embellish the picture to make it more dragon-like, and soon books appeared to show genuine specimens of dragons. They were called “Jenny Hanivers”. 'We have engravings of them reproduced in the exhibition.' The show centres upon George Stubbs’ painting of a kangaroo, which was created following Captain Cook’s first Pacific ‘Voyage of Discovery’. It is Europe’s first painting of an Australian animal and became the archetype for how people imagined this iconic species for decades, including its over-sized tail. Stubbs, who had never seen a kangaroo, based his painting on an inflated skin, skull, written descriptions and sketches, without ever having seen the animal himself. This trunked elephant is taken from a 13th century manuscript engraving drawn in 1241 before the artist, Matthew Paris, had seen one. It seems to show people using the animal as transport while they play music . Two works by 18th century painter, George Stubbs, were saved for the nation in 2013. They included what is thought to be the first depiction of a kangaroo in Western art. The National Maritime Museum bought the paintings after a substantial donation from a shipping magnate. The paintings were commissioned after Captain Cook's first voyage on Endeavour. Stubbs used sketches and specimens to paint the animals in the UK, which he had not seen in the flesh. The painting was saved for the nation by the National Maritime Museum. The exhibition includes a number of animal artworks created by people who had never seen the creature in the flesh, such as a 16th century copy of Dürer’s famous armoured rhinoceros. It was based on a written description and has fantastical armour and a strange shoulder horn. Despite the inaccuracies, it became an enduring image of rhinos for Europeans. ‘Sometimes the pictures were created from explorers’ written descriptions, while other artists copied existing drawings but added their own interpretations of those descriptions,’ said Dr Chiara Ambrosio who contributed to the exhibition. An elongated elephant that almost looks like a cartoon and features a band of humans playing instruments on its back, was found in a 13th century manuscript. Matthew Paris drew it before he had seen one, but a later painting is more accurate because he based it on an elephant that he saw in the Tower of London, which once housed a menagerie of animals. Paintings of pouchless kangaroos with extremely long tails and rhinos with scaly skin and horns on their backs are among the works of art that will go on display at an exhibition entitled ‘Strange Creatures’. This work by 18th century painter, George Stubbs, is the earliest European painting of an Australian animal . ‘Sometimes they were created from explorers’ written descriptions, while other artists copied existing drawings but added their own interpretations of those descriptions,’ said Dr Chiara Ambrosio who contributed to the exhibition. This 17th century drawing has been done by someone who has not seen a real lion . The imagery was picked by palaeontologists, historians of science and exploration and art experts. This elephant is from the same 13th century manuscript as the other elephant, but was drawn in 1255 after Matthew Paris had seen an elephant in the Tower of London. Mr Ashby said: ‘It’s not only historic artworks which misportrayed these amazing species’. ‘We also see it in the practice of taxidermy, where skins were shipped back to Europe and fleshed-out to recreate the animal based on a few notes. ‘It’s also true of modern dinosaur toys, which have been copying outdated images of fossil species for over a century.’ Events including a Knit-a-thon and drawing classes will accompany the free exhibition, which runs from March 16 to June 27 2015. St Jerome in his Study: German artist Albrecht Dürer probably sourced his image of the lion (pictured) from elsewhere, which may help to explain the beast's strange appearance. Illustrated scenes in the early modern Bible were seen as opportunities to depict exotic animals from distant lands .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Three decades ago, Steve McCurry took arguably the most iconic picture of all time. Yet even after all this time, the pre-eminent photographer brims with enthusiasm when he talks about "Afghan Girl." "I knew she had an incredible look, a penetrating gaze," he recalls. "But there was a crowd of people around us, the dust was swirling around, and it was before digital cameras and you never knew what would happen with the film. "When I developed the picture, I knew it was special. I showed it to the editor of the National Geographic, and he leaped to his feet and shouted, 'that's our next cover'." Not only did "Afghan Girl" become the magazine's next cover, but the most successful in its distinguished history. The striking portrait of 12-year-old Sharbat Gula, a Pashtun orphan in the Nasir Bagh refugee camp on the Afghan-Pakistan border, was taken in December 1984 and published the following year. The woman, now in her forties, has recently been found to be living in Pakistan. When McCurry reflects upon its popularity, what excites him most is the impact that this single image has had on the real world. "People volunteered to work in the refugee camps because of that photograph," he says. "Afghans are incredibly proud of it, as the girl is poor but shows great pride, fortitude and self-respect. "It drew attention to their plight, and inspired a lot of people." It also led the National Geographic to set up the Afghan Children's Fund -- and meant that to this day, McCurry is never charged a fare by appreciative Afghan taxi drivers. The portrait forms the centerpiece of a major retrospective exhibition of McCurry's work, which opened recently in Monza, Italy, and will run until 6 April. "It's great to look back on my work and see how themes and connections have emerged. But I am never even remotely thinking of retiring," the 64-year-old tells CNN from his studio in New York. "There are so many new places and stories that fascinate me. I have a long list of places to visit: Iran, Madagascar, Mongolia, Russia. "I believe that when you find something you love, you should do it your whole life. Why would you retire from doing what you love? It's just not what we do." The famous photograph is just one of thousands of extraordinary pictures that McCurry has taken over a 40-year career, during which he has won dozens of awards. One which is displayed prominently in his retrospective exhibition was taken in Kuwait in 1991, during the first Gulf War. It shows three camels silhouetted against an explosion of fire and smoke. "Saddam Hussein had blown up 600 oil wells," he recalls. "It was an environmental catastrophe. Lakes of oil were leaking all over the country, and seeping into the Gulf. "Half of it was on fire. There were geysers of oil spurting out of the earth, making it like midnight during the day." He spotted the camels running along the edge of an oilfield, and followed them in his jeep. But they had been blackened by the oil, and there was no way to capture a picture of them against the black cloud behind. "Suddenly they ran in front of a burning area, and they were illuminated by fire," he says. "I took the shot, and then realized I had driven into a minefield. "I had to carefully back out, following the tire tracks I had made on the way in to avoid getting blown up." For many years, frontline war photography like this was McCurry's stock in trade. Indeed, it enabled him to make his name. Born in Pennsylvania in 1950, McCurry -- whose right hand was permanently damaged when he fell down some stairs at the age of five -- studied theater arts at Penn State University. Two years after graduating, he moved to India in search of a freelance photography career. His big break came in the late 1970s, when he disguised himself in Afghan clothes and crossed illegally into Afghanistan, just before the Soviet invasion. There he took a set of searing photographs of people who were being attacked by their own government. "As soon as I crossed the border, I came across about 40 houses and a few schools that were just bombed out," he says. "They were literally destroying whole villages with helicopter gunships. "This was a profound situation that really needed to be told, and few people could get access to it because it was too remote. "I got completely caught up in the story. That's when I knew that this was what I did -- this was me." Against a background of the Cold War, the Russians backed the Afghan army and Americans supported the Mujahideen. The lens of the Western media quickly swung towards the region, and McCurry happened to be already embedded. His pictures were soon appearing in The New York Times, TIME and Paris Match -- but not before McCurry had escaped from Afghanistan by crossing the tribal areas on foot, with his precious film sewn into his clothing. This was the beginning of many years of war photography, which he now describes as "the gritty period" of his career. He covered the Iran-Iraq war, the Gulf wars and several conflicts in Afghanistan, as well as those further afield in Lebanon, Cambodia and the Philippines. "When you're working in a war zone, you're living moment to moment with people trying to kill you," he says. "There are so many ways I could have been killed, with guns, bombs and shrapnel. You live with fear you could cut with a knife. "Several times I was held up at gunpoint. My camera and money have been robbed, people have broken into my hotel room while I was sleeping. "Many times I thought that I had pushed things too far, that it was not a good idea to enter this skirmish or battle. Many times I have thought that this isn't going to end well. "But I have found that I get completely consumed by the importance of the story I am telling, the feeling that the world has got to know. It's never about the adrenaline. It's about the story." Has frontline reporting become more dangerous? "It has always been dangerous, but now there is the added dimension of trying to grab headlines," he says. "You might have got kidnapped or shot in the past, but not beheaded. There was no wish to create a heinous piece of theater. "But we can't give in. These stories have to be reported, and writers and photographers have to continue telling them." McCurry's portfolio is far broader than his war photography, however. He has worked all over the world, from the jungles of central Africa to the mountains of Tibet, each time seeming to capture the soul of the people he photographs. "My camera acts as a shield when I'm photographing something horrific, as it's easier to look at distressing sights through a viewfinder," he says. "But when I'm not in a war zone, having a camera helps me talk to people, interact, and get involved. "To take a good picture, you need to spend time with people until they trust you and forget that you're there to photograph them. "I try to make eye contact when I take a portrait, as it seems to allow you to understand the person, to see their story written on their face." The advent of the digital camera, he says, has made his job easier. "I'm not one of those photographers that hankers after the good old days," he says. "Digital photography is better than film ever was." Although everybody is taking pictures with camera phones, he says, this is "just noise", and doesn't "dilute the value" of a truly great photograph that will endure and be memorable." "There has to be an emotional component to the picture that you connect with on a profound level," he says. "Once you see it, you can't forget it, and it is so compelling and powerful that it becomes part of the cultural landscape." Like "Afghan Girl"? He pauses. "Yes, like that."

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | It looks like something from outer space, but the 'alien of the deep' is found much closer to home. With its fleshy snout, nail-like teeth and flabby pink body it wouldn't look out of place in a science fiction film, but the rare sea goblin shark described as an 'alien of the deep' has been found off Australia's southeast coast and delivered to the Australian Museum in Sydney. The prehistoric-looking goblin sharks live on deep sea bottoms and little is known about their lives. The shark had died by the time it was handed over, but it was still a priceless asset as only four of them have been acquired by the Sydney museum - the first two collected back in the 1980s. A goblin shark with a long flattened snout covered with pores is shown at the Australian Museum . 'It's pretty impressive, it's not hideous it's beautiful,' said the Australian Museum's fish collection manager Mark McGrouther, who described its teeth as looking like 'little daggers'. 'They are not caught terribly often. They are not encountered terribly often at all.' The latest was picked up by a fisherman in January. It was found near Eden, off Australia's southeast coast, at a depth of about 200 metres and delivered in excellent condition to the museum. The Australian Museum's fish collection manager Mark McGrouther shows the jaws of a Goblin Shark in the sorting lab in Sydney . McGrouther said he was 'thrilled' to handle the shark, which is found in the Pacific, Atlantic and Indian oceans. The species, whose scientific name is 'Mitsukurina owstoni', is thought to be a living fossil dating back some 125 million years. The animal's jaw mechanism, which shoots forward when it detects prey and then retracts under its fleshy, spade-shaped snout, was what fascinated McGrouther the most. Its fleshy snout, nail-like teeth and flabby pink body makes it stand out from the crowd . 'I suspect because it has got soft, flabby musculature, it doesn't need much energy... so it will swim slowly over the bottom just using its snout like a metal detector,' he said.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The execution of the only woman on Georgia's death row , Kelly Gissendaner (pictured), was delayed because the lethal injection was 'cloudy' The execution of the only woman on Georgia's death row has been postponed at the last minute for the second time in less than a week - because the drug used in the lethal injection she was scheduled to receive was 'cloudy'. Kelly Renee Gissendaner, 46, was due to be given an injection of pentobarbital at a Jackson prison at 7pm on Monday in retribution for plotting the murder of her husband in 1997. But after officials observed the drug had a 'cloudy' appearance, they postponed her death until a future, unspecified date 'out of caution', according to reports. Earlier on Monday, Gissendaner had feasted on a massive last meal of two Burger King Whoppers, two large portions of fries, cornbread, a fatty salad, popcorn and cherry-vanilla ice cream. It is the second time Gissendaner has been spared death from lethal injection. On February 25, officials postponed her execution as a winter storm was due to hit the area. It was unclear whether she received her whopping, 3.400-calorie last meal at that time. Monday's decision came as the U.S. Supreme Court considered whether or not to grant Gissendaner a stay of execution after a last-ditch appeal for clemency was denied by state officials. On Monday night, a Department of Corrections spokesman told the Gwinnett Daily Post: 'Prior to the execution the drugs were sent to an independent lab for testing of potency. 'The drugs fell within the acceptable testing limits. Within the hours leading up to the scheduled execution, the execution team performed the necessary checks. At that time, the drugs appeared cloudy. 'The Department of Corrections immediately consulted with a pharmacist, and in an abundance of caution, inmate Gissendaner’s execution has been postponed.' More than 100 protesters were gathered outside the prison where Gissendaner was to be executed, pleading with officials to spare the mother-of-three's life. Riot police were also reportedly stationed outside the facility. Scroll down for video .

Murder: Gissendaner (pictured, left, in her arrest mugshot from 1997) is due to be executed for plotting the murder of her husband, Douglas. However, her boyfriend Gregory Owen (right) who carried out the deed, will be eligible for parole in eight years after accepting a life sentence and testifying against Gissendaner in trial . Gissendaner, who made headlines globally with her 3,400-calorie last meal request, would have become the first female to be executed in Georgia in 70 years if the injection had gone ahead. Her attorneys had recently launched a final attempt to persuade the state's Board of Pardons and Paroles to commute her death sentence to life without parole. They were backed by a petition, which had gained over 70,000 signatures by Monday evening, saying Gissendaner has turned her life around, even earning a theology degree behind bars. Nearly 400 clergy members, who signed the petition, had highlighted Gissendaner's acceptance of 'full responsibility' for her crime, as well as her graduation from the program for incarcerated women at the Candler School of Theology at Emory University, through which she became a teacher. However, on Monday afternoon, the board announced it was standing by its February 25 decision to deny clemency to Gissendaner, whose last meal included a salad drenched in buttermilk dressing. It said it had voted to abide by its earlier decision after 'careful consideration' of her case. The Supreme Court was still deciding whether to grant a stay of execution on Monday night. Gissendaner had been denied clemency at a hearing last week, but her lawyers had argued that extra witnesses from within the prison system could help persuade the board to change their minds. Previous attempts have rested on the inmate's remorse and new-found faith. In a statement ten years ago, Gissendaner herself said: 'I deserve to be here, but I don't deserve to die.' She has also drawn attention to the fact that, while she did not kill her husband, the man who struck the fatal blows is not facing the death penalty - and will, in fact, be eligible for parole in eight years. Indeed, although her boyfriend, Gregory Owen, stabbed her husband, Douglas, at her urging, he could be freed in just eight years after accepting a life sentence and testifying against her. Gissendaner's death via lethal injection was previously scheduled to take place last week. However, it was canceled after a 'rare' storm caused disruption in the area, closing schools and businesses. Monster meal: Gissendaner (pictured, above, eating a regular prison meal) requested an enormous spread for her last meal, including two cheeseburger meals, two large orders of fries, cornbread, popcorn and ice cream . Locked away: Gissendaner (pictured in 2004) has been locked up for the past 17 years after her conviction . If executed, she would have become the first woman executed in Georgia since 1945 and only the 16th put to death nationwide since the Supreme Court allowed the death penalty to resume in 1976. In their motion, Gissendaner's lawyers noted that the parole board had already heard from many people testifying about her faith and remorse at a hearing last week before denying her clemency. But, her lawyers argued, the board did not hear from many Department of Corrections employees whose perspective 'would have left no doubt that a grant of clemency is supported in this case.' The most important witness the board did not hear from is Kathy Seabolt, who served as her warden for six years, first at Metro State Prison and then at Lee Arrendale State Prison. Seabolt could testify that former parole board chair James Donald promised Gissendaner would receive clemency, her lawyers wrote. Each time the topic came up in conversations between Donald and Seabolt, 'Donald reiterated his statement that Ms. Gissendaner did not need to worry about clemency as it was a foregone conclusion,' they wrote. Gissendaner's lawyers also urged the parole board to subpoena some other corrections employees so they can testify without fear of retaliation. Although department rules allow employees to speak to lawyers for capital clemency proceedings, the reality is less clear, Gissendaner's lawyers wrote. Some employees had said they would testify and provide written statements on her behalf, but changed their minds after getting a memo from the new warden, who succeeded Seabolt last year. Petition: Gissendaner's attorneys were backed by a petition , which had gained more than 70,000 signatures by this evening, saying Gissendaner has turned her life around, even earning a theology degree behind bars . 'Under no circumstances are you to discuss this with people outside the institution. Staff should also be careful what is said to other inmates and personal feelings are to be suppressed,' Kathleen Kennedy wrote on January 29 as she notified staff of the likelihood of the upcoming execution. Gissendaner's lawyers also urged the board to consider that before trial, she had been offered the same plea deal as Owen - life in prison with an agreement not to seek parole for 25 years. 'At one time, therefore, all the parties involved in the case thought a sentence less than death was appropriate for Ms. Gissendaner,' her lawyers wrote. Owen, who is the one who stabbed Douglas Gissendaner to death, took the deal and testified for the prosecution. Gissendaner balked at the parole agreement and took her lawyer's advice to go to trial. The parole board has granted clemency before in cases involving disproportionate sentences for co-defendants, her lawyers wrote. 'In fact, this Board has on at least four occasions in the past commuted a death sentence of a co-defendant who was not the actual killer of the victim,' the lawyers wrote. Douglas Gissendaner's parents and sisters wanted her to be executed, but two of Kelly and Douglas' three children asked the parole board to spare her life, the lawyers wrote. In statements submitted with their mother's clemency application, Kayla and Dakota Gissendaner described a journey from bitterness and anger to forgiveness. 'We also believe that Kelly's death will not restore them or make them whole,' Gissendaner's lawyers wrote of the entire Gissendaner family. Saying a prayer: On Monday evening, a Twitter user named Rachel wrote: 'Praying for #KellyGissendaner, may she find the love and mercy our broken systems could not find for her. #kellyonmymind' Angry: User Kir Alexandra questioned reports of police in riot gear being dispatched to the prison in Jackson . The petition for Gissendaner's clemency, which was launched by Jeania Ree Moore, described the inmate as a 'powerful voice for good' who has 'lived a life of purpose' since her incarceration. 'While incarcerated, she has been a pastoral presence to many, teaching, preaching and living a life of purpose," the document stated. 'Kelly is a living testament to the possibility of change and the power of hope. She is an extraordinary example of the rehabilitation that the corrections system aims to produce.' It urged members of the public: 'Do not let this travesty of justice happen on your watch.' On Monday evening, the hashtag #KellyOnMyMind was going viral on social media. | Kelly Renee Gissendaner, 46, was due to be executed at 7pm on Monday .
