"content": "By. Sam Webb. PUBLISHED:. 10:25 EST, 25 April 2013. |. UPDATED:. 04:21 EST, 1 May 2013. A Noah's Ark of 18th century porcelain creatures said to be the most significant in the world has emerged - and is tipped to sell for up to £2million. The magnificent menagerie features more than 140 ornate animals and birds, many of which come in matching pairs, made by famous German porcelain pioneers Meissen. The pieces were hand-crafted in the 1730s and 1740s by Johann Kandler, who at the time was court sculptor to Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland. Regal: These £60,000 lions are part of a menagerie of porcelain animals sculpted in the 18th century. Intricate: Porcelain is notoriously hard to work with, which is why the pieces were so sought after at the time. These sparrowhawks are worth an estimated £20,000. Highlights include a 19-inch. snuff-sniffing porcelain monkey worth £400,000 and a 17-inch pair of. guinea fowl valued at £200,000, both commissioned in 1732 for the King. of Poland's Japanese Palace in Dresden, Germany. Other pristine pairs include parrots, bitterns, lions, cats and ducks - and all items bear the famous Meissen crossed swords logo. The rare artefacts are from the private collection of British aristocrats Sir Gawaine and Lady Baillie, amassed at their West Sussex home. Sir Gawaine, a racing driver in the 1950s and 1960s, inherited the beginnings of the collection from his Anglo-American heiress mother, Lady Baillie, who had started collecting Meissen ornaments at her home at Leeds Castle in Kent in the 1930s. Experts have described the Meissen collection as the most significant to ever appear at auction and expect it to sell for up to £2million. The collection was amassed by British aristocrats Sir Gawaine and Lady Baillie at their West Sussex home. Pictured are two £60,000 bitterns (left) and a porcelain monkey (right) is expected to sell for £400,000. Johann Kandler, the court sculptor to Augustus the Strong, Elector of Saxony and King of Poland, crafted all the animals by hand, including these £200,000 guinea fowl. Alice Bleuzen, ceramics expert at. auctioneers Sotheby's, said: 'This is the most extensive collection of. Meissen animals and birds ever seen. 'Each item is of the highest quality and 95 per cent of them are 18th century originals rather than 19th century reproductions. 'Porcelain is not easy to work with but Johann Kandler was a master and this is why Meissen sculptures became famous, luxury products. 'The auction represents a wonderful opportunity for collectors. 'There is something here for everyone with items ranging from a miniature hare valued at £400 to the almost life-size monkey sculpture at £400,000. 'Never before have Meissen items of such rarity appeared at auction.' Craftsmanship: Up for auction is the biggest collection of Meissen animals ever. Pictured left are pied wagtails worth £20,000 and, right, two £40,000 parrots. Pedigree: Two cats worth £30,000. Some of the animals were commissioned in 1732 for the King of Poland's Japanese Palace in Dresden, Germany. Valuable: There are 140 ornate animals and birds in total. These wild boar could sell for £12,000. Since the early 13th century, Europe's ruling houses had been importing porcelain at extortianate prices from China. In the early 18th century a group of mining and smelting specialists began working to discover the method of how it was produced. The first white porcelain was produced in 1708 under the direction of Johann Friedrich Böttger. Europe’s first porcelain had been born. It was the dominant style of European porcelain among royals and nobility until around 1756. The techniques used in the manufacture of pieces were cloaked in secrecy and meant to be maintained by the group, but one member betrayed the others. According to Meissen's website, the arcanist Samuel Stöltzel attempted to use his knowledge to set up a rival to the company in Vienna in 1718. This attempted faking exercise rendered a system of 'marking' necessary to prove the authenticity of any given piece. Several means of identifying porcelain were devised in the next few years, although it was not until 1920 that an underglaze cobalt blue was perfected by Meissen. This ensured a forgery-proof system of marking was found. Johann Melchior Steinbrück, first inspector at the manufactory, proposed using a motif from the Electoral Saxon coat-of-arms as the official symbol of the company, in keeping with the monogram of the then Elector Prince of Saxony and King of Poland, Augustus the Strong. Its signature logo, the crossed swords, was introduced in 1720 to protect its production; the mark of the crossed swords is one of the oldest trademarks in existence. The 'crossed swords' are still painted on by hand today.\n\nWhat are highlight points for this article?\n"

"content": "A heavily pregnant woman pleaded with her cage fighter ex-boyfriend not to kill their unborn baby as he stabbed her in the stomach five times, a jury heard. Lauren Oliver said she was convinced her child was dead after Nicholas Leaning, 28, launched a frenzied attack to prevent her proving he was the father. Miss Oliver told of the ordeal in video evidence played to Hull Crown Court. She said: 'I knew it was him and I knew what he was going for. He was trying to kill the baby. Lauren Oliver (left) said her ex Nicholas Leaning (right) stabbed in her in the stomach while she was pregnant. 'It was like he was enjoying it because he was smiling... I pleaded with him not to kill me and my baby.' The court heard Leaning and Miss Oliver had been in a 'great' relationship for around two years before she discovered he had rekindled a relationship with his ex-partner Lindsay Coombs. The pair split in November last year - but Miss Oliver then discovered she was pregnant with his child. She claimed he made repeated instructions to her to abort the baby, but she refused. She said: 'I went to see Lindsay and she showed me pictures and messages and everything to prove they were together. 'We found out he had been with us both all along. I found out I was pregnant, and when I told him he told me to I had to go and get an abortion, but I didn't want to. 'He was nice at first saying \"it's not right\", but when I said I couldn't go through with it, he got mad. He said he would kick it kick it out of me if he had to. 'He said I had to get rid of it but when I wouldn't, he said he didn't want anything to do with it.' Champion: Nick Leaning (left) pictured at a recent fight. He denies attempted murder and the trial continues. Miss Oliver said she demanded a DNA test, but Leaning refused. She was 34 weeks pregnant and in the doorway of her home in Belton, North Lincolnshire, when the alleged attack took place. The stabbing led to an emergency caesarean and the premature birth of her baby, who cannot be identified for legal reasons. She said: 'He knew exactly what time I would be back - he knows my routine like clockwork. 'When I got back I unlocked the door and I was just about to open it when I felt someone jumping up on me from behind. Miss Oliver said she was convinced Leaning (pictured) had killed their unborn child. 'I looked down and I clocked the trainers straight away. I knew they were his as we had been in a relationship for 18 months and he lived at my house. 'I felt a stab in my stomach and I tried to push him off. He stabbed me five times. I felt a massive gush of blood between my legs and I thought my baby was dead. Miss Oliver claimed Leaning was wearing a mask he used while training as a cage fighter during the alleged attack, as well as a dark hoodie, blue jeans and a black and red baseball cap. She said: 'He wore all his clothes that he used to wear. I used to wash his clothes when he was working as a chimney sweep. All I could see was his eyes staring at me. 'The first stab took me down. I bent forward and then he pushed me and he was standing over the top of me. 'He was trying to get the knife in as many times as he could. I was shouting \"someone help me please\", and \"Nick please stop it\". 'Eventually he got up and ran away. It's just sick.' Simon Waley, prosecuting, said yesterday: 'When the defendant learned of the pregnancy he had tried to persuade her to have an abortion and when she said she didn't want to, he became angry and said he didn't want to have anything to do with the child. 'He began to indicate to others that the child wasn't his and he hadn't been sleeping with Lauren for some time. 'Lauren and Lindsay had been in touch with each other and had been on friendly terms and arranged a DNA test to determine who was the father. 'He said he would not participate in such a test so Lindsay said she would allow DNA from their child to be used.' He added: 'She was thrown in through the front doorway and fell to the floor. Aftermath: The stabbing led to an emergency caesarean and the premature birth of Miss Oliver's baby. 'She landed on her knees just inside the door and she was pushed onto her back and she curled up into a ball trying to protect her stomach area. 'She could heard grunting as further blows were made to her stomach area. She realised now she was being stabbed. 'She was screaming, shouting his name and begging him to stop. 'He seemed almost to be smiling before stabbing her for the fifth time. He then fled from the scene.' Following the alleged attack, Mr Waley said Lauren got up and tried to follow him before screaming for help. The court heard Lauren was taken to nearby Scunthorpe District Hospital where it was confirmed she had five stab wounds to her abdomen. She underwent emergency surgery and a caesarean section to deliver her baby six weeks early. Mr Waley said 'astonishing that the baby was not harmed'. When giving a description of her attacker to police, the prosecutor said that Lauren told them he was wearing a mask - the type Leaning wore while training as a cage fighter. The court heard that Leaning was arrested around an hour after the incident at his home address in Scunthorpe. Mr Waley said that he gave a number of conflicting accounts as to his whereabouts on the morning, as well as allegedly getting his father to provide him with a false alibi. During police questioning, Leaning finally admitted being at Lauren's property where he said she had shouted at him and 'came at him with a knife'. Mr Waley added: 'It's absurd that a 34-week pregnant Lauren launched an attack on her cage fighter ex-boyfriend and then went on to stab herself and her unborn baby five times in an act of spite against the defendant.' Leaning denies attempted murder, attempted child destruction and wounding with intent. The trial continues.

They are part of Angola's tiny elite, which revolves around the 72-year-old president, Jose Eduardo dos Santos, and which has become rich on the country's oil and diamond wealth.\nSince four decades of conflict ended in 2002, Angola's economy has skyrocketed, albeit from a low base.\nAccording to the auditors Ernst and Young, it was the world's fastest growing economy from 2000-10.\nBut wealth and power have stayed largely in the hands of a very few families, who come closer that anything else I have seen on the continent to an African nobility.\nThe book that has landed Mr Marques in so much trouble, Blood Diamonds: Corruption and Torture in Angola, alleges the army and private security companies have been involved in burying miners alive, executing them en masse, and forcing them to leap to their deaths from speeding vehicles.\nMr Marques says the miners were made to jump off at intervals \"so as to scatter the evidence of their deaths\".\nThe generals deny these allegations.\nBlood Diamonds shows how blurred the lines are between business, politics and violence.\nIt alleges members of the president's inner circle occupy several positions at once, serving simultaneously as top officials in the military, shareholders in diamond mining companies, and co-owners of the private security firms hired by the mining companies to secure the diamond fields.\nThe Angolan elite lives in a world almost entirely disconnected from the rest of the country's population of 20 million.\nIts playground is the Ilha, a stretch of sand that curves out from Luanda, dotted with luxury villas, beachside restaurants and glitzy nightclubs.\nThe rich and the beautiful sip $60 cocktails, as gleaming Porsches purr past, the wrists of their drivers heavy with Rolex watches.\nPrices are astronomical. It is as if they have been set deliberately high to enable people to show off just how wealthy they are.\nWhy else would supermarkets charge up to $100 for a watermelon, $200 for a chicken?\nLooking out at Luanda from the Ilha, it is hard to believe this is the capital of a country that a little more than 10 years ago was fighting a vicious civil war.\nShiny white super-yachts luxuriate in the blue of the sea.\nA swarm of new skyscrapers lines the horizon. One of the multi-million-dollar penthouse apartments has a helicopter landing pad.\nIt is here one starts to hear whispers of the name \"Isabel\": \"This nightclub belongs to Isabel,\" \"This is Isabel's restaurant,\" \"That business is Isabel's, so is that one, that one, and that one.\"\nIsabel is the eldest daughter of President Dos Santos.\nWorth an estimated $3.4bn, she has been described by Forbes magazine as Africa's richest woman.\nMeanwhile, an estimated 70% of Angola's population survives on less than $2 a day - 90% of Luanda's population lives in slums.\nA great deal of energy is spent trying to remove the poor from the sight of Angola's hyper-rich. Their shacks are bulldozed regularly.\nThe Chinese have built for them a new satellite city called Zango, dozens of kilometres from Luanda.\nIts multicoloured tower blocks rise up from the scrubland, as if it had been dropped from outer space.\nIt is the urban poor that most worries the Angolan elite.\nThe security forces have moved swiftly to crush a growing number of small anti-government protests.\nI met slum-dweller Mbanza Hamza, who has chosen to stand up to the authorities.\nHe has a large dent in his skull to show for it.\n\"Men came in the night and beat me with clubs,\" he says. \"They wore plain clothes but I know who sent them.\"\nMoney is the most effective tool for dealing with resistance. The government makes sure local beer stays cheap - it costs less than $1 a bottle.\nIt sponsors football clubs and pop concerts, and encourages churches; anything to distract the poor.\nFree drinks and T-shirts were enough to make sure that, on the eve of an opposition protest, a huge \"pro-government\" march was held.\nThird largest economy in Africa, with a GDP of $121bn in 2013.\nChina's principal trading partner in Africa, and the USA's second.\nClassed as a \"Low Human Development\" country, coming 149/187 in the UN's Human Development Index for 2014.\nChild and maternal mortality rates are among the highest in the world - about one child in five doesn't surviving to the age of five, maternal mortality is 610 per 100,000 live births (UNICEF).\nLuanda: Most Expensive City in the World for Expatriates (Mercer Cost of Living Survey, 2014).\n$32 billion went missing from Angola's oil accounts between 2007 and 2010 (IMF).\n98% of bridges (more than 300), 80% of factories and schools, 60% of hospitals and most of roads destroyed in civil war (Economist Intelligence Unit).\n63.7% of Angola's population is under 25 years old (Unicef).\nIs Angola a ticking time-bomb waiting to explode?\nThe government can no longer use the war as an excuse not to do more about health, education and the redistribution of wealth.\nIt has brought in the Chinese to build roads and railways, but the population is starting to expect more than infrastructure and peace.\nIt is unlikely cases such as that of Mr Marques will lead to significant international pressure on Angola to do more about human rights and corruption.\nDuring his 35 years in power, President Dos Santos has developed remarkable cunning in playing off one foreign power against the other, just like he does in domestic politics.\nBut the president is not immortal.\nThe question is whether his, as yet unappointed, successor will have the skills to keep money and power \"in the family\", while using fear and temptation to defuse the frustrations of the poor."

"content": "in: Brown pelicans with slit throat pouches have been washing up this month in south Florida, triggering community outcry as authorities investigate what they suspect are serial slashings. About 10 birds have died, and another four were injured, according to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. The culprit apparently used a knife to slit the large gullets beneath their beaks, spokesman Robert Dube said. Throat slasher: 10 brown pelicans on the Florida Keys have died after having their pouches slashed. It comes just over a year after an almost identical attack on the Florida Keys which saw dozens of birds wash up dead on the shore. The birds use the oversized pouches to swallow fish skimmed from the water. Once slashed, they can starve to death. 'It's a slow, agonizing death for these animals,' Dube said. The maimed pelicans have been turning up around the lower Florida Keys, located in the southernmost part of the state. State wildlife officers are seeking tips about the slayings, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is also investigating. While no longer endangered, brown pelicans are protected by state regulations and the U.S. Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Perpetrators can face fines and even jail time for harming the birds. Identical attack: Last year dozens of the birds were slain an injured by a serial throat slasher in Florida. Local residents have been offering reward money since officials issued an alert last week about the deaths. Wildlife officers suspect teenagers or irate fishermen could be behind the attacks. During winter months, the region also sees many part-time residents from northern states, Dube said. 'Right now we are at a loss,' he said. 'We love our critters down here in the Keys. It's caused a lot of concern.'\nout: 10 birds killed and another four injured by throat slashing attack. Wildlife officers found the brown pelicans washed up in Florida Keys. Comes a year after identical attack, perpetrator was never identified.\nin: A special undercover squad of Metropolitan Police officers tasked with infiltrating a range of left-wing organisations may have duped more than 100 women into having affairs. The Special Demonstration Squad which operated between 1968 and 2008 has been heavily criticised because officers attached to the unit had sexual relations with some of their targets. The Metropolitan Police has already paid out more than £400,000 in compensation to a woman who had a child fathered by undercover officer Bob Lambert. Undercover police officer Bob Lambert, pictured, was tasked with infiltrating the Animal Liberation Front. While undercover during the 1980s, Lambert fathered a son with a woman while using the Bob Robinson alias. Lambert, who used the alias Bob Robinson, began a relationship with the woman, known only as Jacqui after he was tasked with infiltrating the Animal Liberation Front. The Metropolitan Police has confirmed that it deployed 147 SDS officers in undercover roles over a four-decade period. It is feared that compensation claims against the force could run into a mulit-million pound bill for damages and legal fees. According to a source who spoke to The Mirror: 'In nine out of ten cases we know about, SDS officers have had sexual relationships while undercover. There were nearly 150 of them, so it would not be unreasonable to suggest there are many more out there who don't realise they are victims.' Jacqui is reportedly to receive £425,000 and in an interview with the Guardian and the BBC, she said she had been receiving psychiatric care after learning of his real identity as a police officer who was married with children. She said: ‘The legal case is finished but there is no closure for me. There is the money, but there is no admission by the police that what they did was wrong, there is no meaningful apology and most importantly there are no answers.’ ‘I don't know why I was singled out by the police to be duped into an intimate sexual relationship with Bob Lambert. ‘I don't know if he was paid overtime to be with me during the 14 hours of labour I went through giving birth to our son. I feel violated.’ It is feared that undercover officers may have slept with more than 100 women over a 40-year period. In August four former SDS officers were told they faced no criminal charges for their actions. The Crown Prosecution Service said there was not enough evidence to charge four officers with sexual misconduct offences. The Met was previously forced to name two officers who allegedly had relationships with women activists in groups they infiltrated after High Court judge Mr Justice Bean ruled the force could not use its policy of ‘neither confirm nor deny’ (NCND) in response to the damages claims. As a result, the force confirmed Jim Boyling and Bob Lambert were undercover police officers. Jules Carey, Jacqui's lawyer, told the Guardian and BBC that Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, the Met commissioner, should publicly condemn the practice of undercover officers having sexual relationships. Undercover police officer Jim Boyling, also known as Jim Sutton was part of the covert surveillance squad. So far 12 woman have lodged cases against the Met over the actions of its undercover surveillance officers. Mr Carey told them: ‘The Metropolitan Police are prepared to criticise the conduct of an individual officer, Bob Lambert. They are even prepared to be critical of the unit he was from - but they refuse to condemn the practice itself. ‘It is time for the commissioner of Metropolitan Police to publicly commit to seeing the end of this shameful and abusive practice’. A Scotland Yard spokesman said the force ‘unreservedly apologises for any pain and suffering that the relationship with Bob Lambert, an undercover officer, has had on this woman’ but said that it had ‘never had a policy that officers can use sexual relations for the purposes of policing’. He said: ‘We recognise the impact that the revelation that he was an undercover police officer must have had both on her and her son. From the outset we have dealt with this lengthy case with professionalism and sensitivity, completely understanding the gravity of the circumstances. We regret if this necessarily complex process has added to her distress. ‘We want to be, and have tried hard to be, as open as we possibly can. Arguing the need to maintain the policy of neither confirm nor deny in relation to undercover operations has never been a refusal to accept wrongdoing, but has been done solely to protect a vital policing tactic.'\nout:"

"content": "Question:\n\"Mr. Tambourine Man\" is a song written, composed, and performed by Bob Dylan, who released his original version of it on his 1965 album Bringing It All Back Home. The Byrds also recorded a version of the song that they released in the same year as their first single on Columbia Records, reaching number 1 on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the UK Singles Chart, as well as being the title track of their debut album, Mr. Tambourine Man. The Byrds' recording of the song was influential in popularizing the musical subgenres of folk rock and jangle pop, leading many contemporary bands to mimic its fusion of jangly guitars and intellectual lyrics in the wake of the single's success.\nThe Bringing it All Back Home version of \"Mr. Tambourine Man\" was included on Bob Dylan's Greatest Hits in 1967 and several later Dylan compilation albums, including Biograph, Masterpieces, and The Essential Bob Dylan. The two June 1964 recordings, one with Ramblin' Jack Elliott and the other at Witmark Music, have been released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 7: No Direction Home and The Bootleg Series Vol. 9: The Witmark Demos 1962-1964, respectively. Outtakes from the January 15, 1965 recording session were released on The Bootleg Series Vol. 12: The Cutting Edge 1965-1966 in 2015. The song has been in Dylan's live concert repertoire ever since it was written, usually as a solo acoustic song, and live performances have appeared on various concert albums and DVDs. An early performance, recorded during a songs workshop at the Newport Folk Festival on July 24, 1964 is included in both Murray Lerner's film The Other Side of the Mirror and the DVD release of Martin Scorsese's documentary No Direction Home. A live performance at New York's Philharmonic Hall dating from October 31, 1964, appeared on The Bootleg Series Vol. 6: Bob Dylan Live 1964, Concert at Philharmonic Hall. During his appearance at the Newport Folk Festival on July 25, 1965, after he was heckled by acoustic folk music fans during his electric set, Dylan returned to play acoustic versions of \"Mr. Tambourine Man\" and \"It's All Over Now, Baby Blue\"; this performance of \"Mr. Tambourine Man\" is also included in The Other Side of the Mirror. A live version from Dylan's famous May 17, 1966, concert in Manchester, England (popularly but mistakenly known as the Royal Albert Hall Concert) is included on The Bootleg Series Vol. 4: Bob Dylan Live 1966, The \"Royal Albert Hall\" Concert. Dylan's August 31, 1969 performance of the song at the Isle of Wight Festival appears on Isle of Wight Live, part of the 4-CD deluxe edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 10: Another Self Portrait (1969-1971). Dylan also played the song as part of his evening set at the August 1, 1971, Concert for Bangladesh, a benefit concert organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar. That performance is included on The Concert For Bangladesh album, although it was excluded from the film of the concert. Another live version, from the Rolling Thunder Revue tour of 1975, is on The Bootleg Series Vol. 5: Bob Dylan Live 1975, The Rolling Thunder Revue, while electric band versions from 1978 and 1981 appear, respectively, on Bob Dylan at Budokan and the Deluxe Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 13: Trouble No More 1979-1981.\nAnswer this question using a quote from the text above:\n\nDid he collaborate with George Harrison on any of his releases?\n\nAnswer:\nbenefit concert organized by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar.\n\n\nQuestion:\nMorbid Angel is an American death metal band based in Tampa, Florida formed in 1983 by guitarist and sole remaining original member Trey Azagthoth, vocalist and bassist Dallas Ward, and drummer Mike Browning. Widely considered as one of the most influential bands in the genre and important in the transition of death metal from its thrash metal roots, they were one of the first bands to incorporate guttural vocals, up-tempo blast beats, multiple tempo changes and dark atmosphere. They have been described as one of \"the most influential and emulated bands in death metal\", alongside Obituary and Cannibal Corpse, and have been cited as an influence by many later bands. They were also the first death metal band to experience mainstream success in connection with being signed to Giant Records in 1992, heavy rotation of their music videos on MTV, and having the music video for the song \"God of Emptiness\" shown on an episode of Beavis and Butt-head.\nMorbid Angel was formed in 1983 in Tampa, Florida by guitarist Trey Azagthoth and drummer/vocalist Mike Browning. The band made their debut in 1987 on the New Renaissance Records record label. They recorded their debut album, Abominations of Desolation, in 1986, but the band was unsatisfied with the final product and it remained unreleased until 1991, printing 10,000 copies. In the early stages of their career the band developed a reputation for \"gruesome stage antics.\" In 1986, David Vincent joined the band, replacing Michael Manson and Sterling von Scarborough as vocalist and bassist respectively. Fellow Terrorizer drummer Pete Sandoval soon followed. Their first studio album, Altars of Madness, was released in 1989, and is regarded by many as one of the most important death metal albums of all time. It is also considered the first true death metal album. Music journalist Jason Birchmeier writes that: Few albums struck a chord within the ears and minds of the late-'80s underground metal scene like Morbid Angel's Altars of Madness did at the end of the decade, setting a new precedent for metal bands to reach. With the arguable exception of Chuck Schuldiner's Death, never before had a heavy metal band carried their lightning-fast guitar riffs and equally spellbinding guitar solos into such horrific territory. Venom and Slayer redefined the extent to which a metal band could align itself with all things evil during the beginning of the decade, but Morbid Angel made these two groups sound like children's music compared to the Florida-based group's assaulting death metal sounds and their blasphemous lyrics.\nAnswer this question using a quote from the text above:\n\nDid they recieve any awards for their music?\n\nAnswer:\n"

Their attempts to reach the US by visa and England, via a fishing boat, had both failed so they moved, with their newborn son Peter, to the Netherlands.\nWhile in hiding in Amsterdam during 1941, Helen Neuhaus had a daughter, Judith. The infant was later given away because of fears that her cries would betray her family. Judith Neuhaus survived the war and now lives in Israel.\nBut Justin Neuhaus, Helen and Peter were picked up by Nazis in the street in 1943 and deported to Sobibor, where they were murdered in the gas chambers. Helen, aged 33, and Peter, just short of his fifth birthday, died together while Justin, aged 42, was killed two weeks later.\nSobibor was one of three secret killing factories built by the Nazis in eastern Poland. In 18 months, a quarter of a million Jews were transported here and murdered in the gas chambers. Their bodies were incinerated, their ashes buried in pits.\nProsecutors said Demjanjuk had been a guard at Sobibor between March and September 1943 - meaning he would have been a guard at the time the Neuhaus family perished there.\n\"Did he have a choice?\" asks Mrs Hyde.\n\"Yes he did. He could have refused. It would have been a risk to refuse but there's no great evidence that he would have been shot.\"\nDuring her time in the courtroom she was only a few feet away from him.\n\"I had mixed emotions - I want to say I feel sorry for him because he's an old frail man, but I don't,\" she said.\n\"I don't feel hatred or revenge when I think of him. I feel frightened, because I'm Jewish and I'm frightened about Holocaust-deniers and I'm frightened of anti-Semites, and he might be one.\"\nThere were no living witnesses in Demjanjuk's case, but there were more than 30 people listed as joint plaintiffs - two camp survivors and others who lost relatives or their entire families. One of those plaintiffs was Judith, and Mrs Hyde also attempted to become a co-plaintiff herself.\nThe final day of the trial was one of great emotion for the Holocaust victim's niece, particularly when Judge Ralph Alt read out the names of victims.\n\"The judge was very careful to make no mistakes and did a superb job,\" said Mrs Hyde.\nThere was general surprise in court that the war criminal was being released pending his appeal, she added, but the main thing was Demjanjuk's conviction.\n\"Judgment was pronounced and Demjanjuk was found guilty of specific crimes,\" she said.\n\"He is 91 and is not going anywhere. He will be looked after by the German state. If somebody has to look after the man, let it be the German government.\"\nIn the main corridor at the Watford school, a notice board carries a display about Irena Sendler.\nShe saved 2,500 Jewish children by smuggling them out of the Warsaw Ghetto during WWII.\nMrs Hyde describes herself as an educator and says she cannot tell students that if they commit a crime and hide it for as long as they can, they will get away with it.\n\"I just feel that justice has to be seen to be done for those that died at Sobibor, because they can't do it,\" she said.\n\"Demjanjuk might be old and suffering but he's been surrounded by the best medical care available and lived to be at least 91. My aunt never had the opportunity to grow old.\"\n++++++++++\nSummarize: The conviction of John Demjanjuk is of special significance to Helen Hyde, who has long sought justice for her aunt who died at Sobibor.\n\n\nProblem: The Grecians have an outside chance of making the League Two play-offs, but realistically must win their final three matches to make the top seven.\n\"The next three games will dictate decisions I make.\n\"We're not in a position where I can say 'yes, we're plodding along in mid-table and we know what we're going to do',\" Tisdale told BBC Sport.\n\"In isolation there's a reason for everybody, everyone's played their part and has benefit to the squad.\n\"But from a manager's point of view, structurally you're always trying to develop and eke out more efficiency.\"\nHowever, Tisdale said that players not currently in the side, could still be part of his longer term plans at St James Park.\n\"Those that are playing on Saturday aren't the ones that are guaranteed to be in the team in six month's time - that's about the rhythm we have as a team now,\" he added.\n\"That doesn't mean that they are ahead of others who may not be on the pitch.\"\nWhat was that article about?\n\nA:"

"content": "News article: South African Runner Keeps Medal But Loses Identity\n\nThis week, South Africas sports ministry issued an announcement that 18-year-old runner Caster Semenya would keep her medal for this summers much-contested 800-meter win in Berlin, along with $60,000 in prize money and title of World Champion. The issue at stake? Not her ability, but her gender.\n\nSemenyas gender identity made headlines this summer after she won the 800-meter final this August in Berlin. Almost immediately following her win, questions were raised over her speed and physical appearance, and rumors sparked over her potential disqualification for not being entirely female.\n\nSex-determination testing was standard for female Olympic-bound athletes as recently as 1999. But it has since been phased out and is now reserved for specific cases.\n\nFor Semenya at the World Championship level, the backlash from the athletic community and the media was immediate--Olympic Gold-Medal Winner Michael Johnson criticized the IAFF for its insensitivity in responding to the incident while civic leaders, politicians, journalists and activists characterized the judgment as an affront to Semenyas privacy and human rights.\n\nMonths passed and no conclusions were made public, until this weeks announcement--one that left those who had followed the situation scratching their heads.\n\nOfficially, Caster Semenya had been found innocent of any wrong and would not be disqualified. But while Semenya was told she could keep her medal, title and prize, no verdict was announced of the gender testing that occurred--or even whether the track star would be allowed to participate in future competitions--in either the male or female category.\n\nSports commentators, particularly Kenyans--their contender, Janeth Jepkosgei, took the silver medal behind Semenya in the controversial heat--are outraged on a platform of fairness. Its not fair that a woman might have a set of hormones that make her faster stronger and better than her competitors; its not fair that she gets to compete against women who arent, strictly speaking, her genetic equals. Until this summer, was simply a girl who could run fast. Since then shes been thrust into an international media circus.\n\nIts a girl! The first words out of a doctors mouth upon bringing a baby into the world. Youre a girl. Boom. The F box is checked and you are neatly packed into a blanket and a little pink hat. (Or perhaps you were one of the Its a boy! cases. The M box was checked. You got a little blue hat. You get the picture.) For many of us, this is how life began. For many more babies born today, there isnt even the element of surprise in the delivery room. Of the multitude of boxes a person is put in over the course of his or her life--race, nationality, economic status, age--gender is a constant that we carry with us from our first breath. In most cases.\n\nWe have laws and regulations, says Anne Vitale, Ph.D, a gender specialist from California, that categorize people from birth into one of those two groups, and theres never been a place for anyone else. But as it turns out, there are others.\n\nIs it because sex is this most personal of identifications, because we hold it so near to our sense of self that we are so loathe to comprehend, embrace--or even discuss these others? Are we so hard-wired to identify gender, in others and in ourselves, that the thought of any ambiguity is a subject to be handled at a distance--or in the impersonal arena of public humiliation?\n\nIn the case of Semenya and so many others, all signs point to yes. To be sure, in recent decades we have seen a rise in the acceptance of a variety of new or less common gender roles--homosexuals, same-sex marriages, transgendered couples--many thanks to the medias coverage. And yet the squirming, uncomfortable truth remains that we are not as comfortable as we claim to be.\n\nFelicity Huffmans astounding performance in Transamerica opened lines of discussion we never thought possible, and still we make a spectacle out of this years Pregnant Man. And Caster Semenya certainly isnt even the first athlete to have her sex questioned publicly--three years ago, Indian runner Santhi Soundarajan was made to hand back her silver medal at the Asian Games in Doha after \"failing\" a gender test. The public humiliation was too much for Soundarajan to bear--she later attempted suicide.\n\nOne can only hope that Semenya wont have such an unhappy future as a result of the media frenzy were running up around her. Still, while the IAFFA hasnt made an official statement about her professional athletic future, it stands to reason that this single gold medal might be her only one. She is not 100% female, and to be fair, she cant race with the women--but neither is she 100% male, and it certainly wouldnt be fair for her to compete among men.\n\nBut talk about fair, Dr. Vitale says. Casters one of a kind, so she may be denied the right to compete at all. How's that for fair?\nWhat are the most important parts of this news article?\n"

"content": "Watchmen: The moment comic books grew up\nIt must have been quite something to be a teenage pop fan in the mid-1960s, to hear new singles by The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan every week, and to realise that your own personal obsession, once dismissed as childish and ephemeral, was now the most revolutionary art form in the world. To those of us who were teenage comics fans in the mid-1980s, something similar happened. Our love of cheaply printed American superhero yarns and their British sci-fi counterparts had previously been a nerdy guilty secret, but now, suddenly, broadsheet newspapers were agreeing that something had changed. Comics couldn’t be ignored. The term ‘graphic novel’ could be used with a straight face.\n\nTwo mini-series published by DC Comics raised the medium to the level of literature\n\nMainstream culture’s current fixation on superhero films and TV series can be traced back to this golden age – specifically to the summer of 1986, 30 years ago. The superhero comics of the 1970s and 1980s had already worked hard to convince the public that stories about private detectives wearing capes and masks could be more serious than a portly Adam West dressed up as Batman might have suggested.\n\nThe X-Men scripts written by Chris Claremont emphasised the growing pains of the troubled cast of misfits; John Byrne’s clean, eye-catching artwork brought Hollywood glamour to the pages of The Fantastic Four. But two mini-series published by DC Comics raised the medium to the level of literature, and they both hit newsstands and comic shops within weeks of each other. One was The Dark Knight Returns, a four-issue series, written and drawn by Frank Miller, which reimagined Batman – or rather, “The Batman” – as a middle-aged sadist. The other was Watchmen, a 12-parter from the British writer-artist team of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons.\n\nGiven that they were being written and drawn at the same time, and so they had no chance of influencing one another, it’s remarkable how much the two mini-series have in common. Both of them divide their pages into neat grids of small rectangles, packing in far more information than a typical superhero comic; both of them set their stories in a recognisable, but crumbling US on the verge of nuclear war; both of them ponder what sort of person would put on fancy dress and punch muggers every evening (in short: a crazy person); and both of them ask how such gaudily-garbed do-gooders would be perceived in the media and by the man in the street. Even to the most casual browser, these twin landmarks proved that superhero comics could be as sophisticated as any novel or film, despite all the people in them who strode around wearing underpants over their tights.\n\nIt’s debatable which is the better of the two, but Watchmen is the more ambitious, largely due to its writer, Alan Moore. A long-haired, bushily bearded autodidact from Northampton, Moore was expelled from school for selling LSD, but that didn’t stop him making his mark on two British anthology comics, 2000 AD and Warrior, at the start of the 1980s. Both magazines exploded with wild ideas and unconventional characters, from the blue-skinned, genetically-engineered soldier, Rogue Trooper, to the fascistic future lawman, Judge Dredd. But even among all these eccentric aliens, robots and mutants, the strips written by Moore – The Ballad of Halo Jones, V For Vendetta – stood out: they were funnier, weirder, more erudite, more poetic, and more structurally inventive than anything being done by his peers.\n\nMoore was soon invited to revamp Swamp Thing – half-superhero, half-compost heap – for DC Comics, and to write a number of one-off stories about Batman and Superman. Then, when DC bought the rights to some superhero characters from an ailing rival company, Charlton Comics, Moore proposed putting those characters into a grittily believable Cold War setting. He would probe the sexual and emotional hang-ups shared by costumed crime-fighters, and he would explore how international politics might be affected if the US Government had an indestructible, telekinetic genius on the payroll.\n\nMoore probed the sexual and emotional hang-ups of costumed crime-fighters\n\nBorrowing a phrase from Juvenal, the Roman satirist, he would pose the question, “Who watches the watchmen?” Understandably, DC didn’t want to subject its newly acquired Charlton characters to a grim saga which would leave half of them either disillusioned or dead, but Moore and Gibbons forged ahead with the concept anyway, using their own new characters instead. Each of them would be a dark reflection of a different kind of superhero.\n\nThere was Rorschach, who was a night-stalking vigilante in the Batman tradition, but who was also a foul-smelling Manichean sociopath who intimidated his barfly informants by snapping their fingers. There was Ozymandias, who was a handsome tech boffin, much like Iron Man, but who was also an egomaniac who made a fortune by selling toy figurines of himself. There was the Superman-like Dr Manhattan, a being so powerful that he came to regard the human race as a negligible, inferior species. And there was a crowd of other flawed characters, all of them drawn limpidly by Gibbons with the proportions of actual people rather than musclebound gods.\n\nMoore said that he wanted Watchmen to be ‘a superhero Moby Dick’\n\nBut it wasn’t just this naturalistic, revisionist angle that was radical; it was the comic’s dazzling narrative complexity. Over the course of its 12 issues, Watchmen grew from being a noirish mystery thriller to an intricate mesh of interlaced stories. It flicked between different points of view, and flitted back and forth through the decades, but a host of recurring symbols and themes tied everything together. It even incorporated a comic-within-a-comic, plus prose sections at the end of each issue. Moore said that he wanted it to be “a superhero Moby Dick; something with that sort of weight, that sort of density” - and he wasn’t far off. The medium had never known anything as richly intricate.\n\nWatchmen was an immediate commercial and critical hit. In sales terms, it propelled DC Comics ahead of Marvel, its main competitor in the superhero business. And it was adored by reviewers: Time magazine declared it to be one of the 100 greatest novels published since 1923 – the only comic to make it onto the list.\n\nI despaired of the effect that Watchmen had on the comics industry – Alan Moore\n\nBut Moore wasn’t happy about all this success. For one thing, he felt that he had been conned by DC. His deal with the publisher stated that the rights to the characters would revert to him and Gibbons once the series went out of print, but that never happened. As a collected edition, Watchmen has been in print ever since. Moore was also disenchanted by the countless cynical comics about bloodthirsty superheroes which he inspired. “I despaired of the effect that Watchmen had had on the comics industry,” he once told me, “because what I’d hoped that people would take from it was the approach to storytelling, the worldview, the approach to reality as a web of co-incidences and chance remarks. But I think what they took from it was ... Rorschach. What they took from it was, ‘This guy’s really violent, and he’s psychopathic, therefore let’s make all the characters violent psychopaths.’ For a long time, looking at comics was like being in a hall of mirrors in a funfair, where you can only see ugly, distorted reflections of yourself.”\n\nCharacteristically, Moore wanted nothing to do with Zack Snyder’s Watchmen film, which was released in 2009. He allowed the film to be made, so that Gibbons could collect a cheque from Hollywood, but he refused to take any money himself, and insisted that his name be taken off the credits. But whether or not Moore likes it, Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns had a profound impact on popular culture. They set the standard against which every new superhero comic since 1986 has been judged. And, crucially, it wasn’t just comics that were altered, but other media, too. The DNA of these two masterpieces has been passed onto every film and TV series that claims to have a mature take on the superhero genre, from The Incredibles to Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Who watches the watchmen? These days, we all do.\n\nIf you would like to comment on this story or anything else you have seen on BBC Culture, head over to our Facebook page or message us on Twitter.\n\nAnd if you liked this story, sign up for the weekly bbc.com features newsletter, called “If You Only Read 6 Things This Week”.

"content": "Nearly 100 years ago, and just over a week after the rebellion, the leaders of the Easter Rising were shot dead at dawn. After occupying the General Post Office and other nearby buildings in the centre of Dublin, the republican rebels’ efforts to fight for Ireland’s freedom were crushed. In what is considered the beginning of the end of the British empire, those days of brutal fighting during Easter week paved the way for Irish independence just a few years later.\n\nThough nearly a century has passed, the memories of the years between the Easter Rising and founding of the Republic of Ireland live on. Descendants of those involved recall what living in such turmoil was like for their family and share what the events mean for them today.\n\nBernard “Barney” John Duffy was still a child when he acted as a runner-boy for the Irish Republican Army during the rebellion against British rule that followed in the years after the Rising. Born to Patrick and Ellen Duffy in Waterford on 26 July 1903, Barney and his five siblings lived in a tenement building on Brabazon Street in an area called the Coombe. At the time of the insurrection he had finished school and, aged 12, volunteered as a messenger delivering information from the Boland’s Mills rebel outpost. With Éamon de Valera in command it was the beginning of Barney’s life-long loyalty to “Dev”.\n\nBernie Duffy, a lecturer in English in Hamburg, Germany, and grandson of Barney, after whom he is named, said it’s difficult to know exactly what Barney felt at such a young age. “Within earshot was one of the bloodiest engagements of the rising – the Battle of Mount Street Bridge. Although De Valera’s command saw no direct action they were heavily shelled in the fighting.\n\n“They were dangerous and deeply divided times, and one did not wear their politics on their sleeves if they wanted to live long,” said Bernie. “What we do know was passed on in conspiratorial hush from great-aunts: tales of hidden guns, house searches and dubious goings-on. One story recounts how during the war of independence, a 19-year-old Barney was at a card game when the Black and Tans (formally known as the Royal Irish Constabulary Special Reserve) suddenly raided. The men were subject to arbitrary detention and an officer executed one of the card players with a pistol shot to the face. It later transpired that the hapless victim was a British army soldier at home on leave.”\n\nThe brutality apparently had a sobering effect on Barney. By the time the civil war came about in 1922 he had no interest in getting involved. He had his children to think of.\n\nBut it’s difficult for Bernie to speak of Barney without remembering his other grandfather Johnny Quinn, who served with the RAF during the second world war. “Both my grandfathers played their role in history and I am proud of them for that, but neither were fighters and I’m grateful for that too.” For Bernie, the lives of both his relatives help reflect the complexity of feelings for Irish people when it comes to Ireland’s relationship with the UK.\n\nBarney and Johnny only met once or twice before Barney died. “I have often wondered what they made of each other at those meetings,” said Bernie. “One thing I can be certain of is that on those occasions no words would have been wasted on politics about who fought or who served the British. It was neither an issue or up for consideration. They were family.”\n\nFor Bernie, his generation is of a different kind to his ancestors. “I’m the kind of Irishman who rolls his eyes or excuses himself from the table at the slightest hint of sectarian talk. I’ve never met an Englishman I didn’t like even after three years of living in the UK. I don’t think in terms of ‘us’ and ‘them’ at all. We are perhaps the most closely related of two cultures anywhere in the world.\n\n“The Easter Rising of 1916 is part of our identity. It’s not simply about the the moral superiority, brutality, treachery or martyrdom that took place on both sides. It’s about the experience of the common people and those who came after them to carry those memories.”\n\nPatrick “Whacker” Reid, formerly a docker before the rebellion, was in Boland’s Mills during Easter and staged a one-man mutiny when he refused to surrender. As told by his grandson Michael Reid, a teacher in Liverpool, Patrick somehow escaped and eluded the surrounding British army and made his way to the docks. After finding his way to Liverpool he spent most of his life active in trade union affairs and at the time of his death was chairman of Harold Wilson’s Huyton constituency organisation.\n\nTheir home was riddled with bullets\n\nMargaret Nowlan and her carpenter husband Tom remember the time when Tom was shot in the head by the Black and Tans. As told by their granddaughter Paula Webb Stainton, a music curator in Cambridge, Tom was walking from their home in Pearse Street when a lorry full of the Black and Tans pulled up and started shooting. Though Tom was hit in the head he survived.\n\nPaula recalls another moment when Tom was lucky not to have been killed. “There was an IRA sniper on the roof near where they lived and when the British soldiers arrived and started shooting a bullet went through the window by Tom. It certainly was an anxious time for them as when they moved to Leeson Street their home was riddled with bullets.”\n\nOther members of Paula’s family helped the rebels’ efforts in any way they could. Her great-aunt Mary Nowlan lived on Penrose Street, Ringsend, and hid rebels who came up from Cork. She ended up marrying one of them. As children, Paula’s parents often met Countess Markievicz selling jam to raise funds for the freedom of Ireland. “It’s amazing what memories can be unlocked when you start asking questions,” she said.\n\nSheridan Flynn’s great-grandfather, Michael Sheridan, was a journalist and part of the Laois Volunteers. Michael’s father was a newspaper owner in Castlebar, County Mayo, but became bankrupt and had to sell the family valuables. He then moved to Portlaoise with his family before the Easter Rising to work as a journalist for the Nationalist.\n\nOn Easter Sunday, Michael and other Laois Volunteers were tasked with destroying part of the Abbeyleix-Portlaoise railway line to stop British military reinforcements from reaching Dublin. It was also during this operation when the first shot of the insurrection was fired.\n\nA media professional in London, Sheridan says very little about the events of 1916 is discussed in his family. “Though my grandfather Martin Sheridan [Michael’s son] was an anglophile, at heart he spoke with pride about his father’s contribution to Ireland’s independence. His earliest memory is visiting Michael in internment as a child.\n\n“Martin was a thoughtful nationalist. He understood that Britain brought many positive aspects to Irish life. Architecture, education, and the railway network. Yet he had an intellectual grasp of Irish language and Irish literature. However, as a republican and dedicated Christian, even he maintained that the fighting was a high price to pay for independence.”\n\nNot everyone who took part in the Easter Rising held a combatant role. Robert Shaw Wayland was the physician at the children’s hospital in Harcourt Street which was used as a military hospital. At the time he had a young daughter, Olive, who remembers being surrounded by a lot of noise.\n\nPat Martin, who works in IT support in Reading, says one of the first memories of her grandmother, Olive de Winter Smith, was being covered on the floor by her nanny during a spraying of bullets. In an account told to Olive’s son (Pat’s uncle), she recalls how she was only nine when the rebellion broke out and how one day she found a bayonet and a round of ammunition in their garden.\n\n“The first thing we knew was a loud banging in Hatch Street, just about 300 yards from us. It was a barricade being built,” she said. “Of course we all had to stay indoors except father, who still had to attend to patients. It was very hot.”\n\nIn what must have been a terrifying time for a child, Olive remembers the presence of snipers. “They were on the rooftops and we were afraid they might drop in through the skylight,” she said. “I remember being sent off to bed at my usual time and feeling very much alone in the nursery [at the front of the house on the fourth floor under the roof] and coming down and sitting at the bottom of the nursery steps where I could hear sounds of the family.\n\n“One day I was playing with the Charles children who lived two doors from us and we were up in the sitting room when we heard some shots. We looked out and saw a woman lying in a pool of blood on the pavement across the road. Very shortly afterwards the matron and nurses came from the children’s hospital with a stretcher and took her away. Later an old woman from the stables at the back of some houses came and picked up a bag of flour from the pool of blood, hid it under her shawl and made off with it. Things were never quite the same again.”"

"content": "Please briefly summarize this news article:\n\nJason Collins makes historic return to the NBA with the Brooklyn Nets\n\nJason Collins becomes first openly gay NBA player – video\n\nOn Sunday Jason Collins finally made his long-awaited return to the court, becoming the first openly gay individual to play in a NBA game. The newest member of the Brooklyn Nets made his season debut in the second quarter of their game against the Los Angeles Lakers. The crowd at Staples Center, recognizing the history being made, gave Collins the kind of warm ovation not often given to opposing players. Collins ended the night after playing 10 minutes, picking up five fouls and grabbing two rebounds in the Nets’ 108-102 victory over the Lakers. It wasn’t exactly the most memorable of box scores but Collins made his biggest impact of the night just by checking into the game.\n\nCollins has been without a team since publicly coming out as gay last April, but the Brooklyn Nets signed the veteran big man to a 10-day contract on Sunday after plans to trade for the Lakers’ Jordan Hill before Thursday’s deadline and attempts to sign Glen Davis both fell through. Although it’s taken Collins longer than expected to latch on with a team, in some ways this feels like he’s returning at exactly the right time. The last few weeks have featured plenty of discussion on whether NFL teams would consider openly gay college football standout Michael Sam a possible distraction and how Russia has been hosting the Winter Olympics at the same time it has increased persecution of LGBT individuals. So far, conversations about the intersection of LGBT rights and high profile athletics have brought up so many questions, hopefully Jason Collins’s NBA return will start providing us with answers.\n\nThere have been openly gay active athletes in other US sports leagues. The WNBA has had star players such as Sheryl Swoopes and Brittney Griner come out in the past. Shortly after Jason Collins made his announcement, Robbie Rogers, who retired before publicly coming out of the closet, was inspired to return to MLS. Still, none of these leagues have anything close to the widespread cultural impact of the NBA, NFL, MLB and NHL, and none of these four leagues have had an openly gay active player.\n\nThis changed when Jason Collins made his way to the scorer’s table, readying himself to get back to the decidedly unglamorous work that has kept him employed for much of his career: collect some fouls, soak up minutes when another starter (in this case Kevin Garnett) wasn’t available and maybe force a turnover or two. In the wake of his announcement in 2013, Collins has become something close to a celebrity, but there was nothing very star-like about his performance Sunday. He was the same journeyman player he has always been, a “background player” as he proudly puts it. It was as if Collins was taking up his own advice, given in a pre-game press conference:\n\n“My message to other athletes is to be yourself. Be your true authentic self, and never be afraid to be your authentic self.”\n\nIf nothing else, the Nets’ decision saves the world from further opinion pieces about Collins’s continued unemployment. Cyd Zeigler of OutSports summed up these last ten months about as well as anyone:\n\nFor months many have asked the question over and over: Is Jason Collins not signed because he’s openly gay? The answer has never been simple... That hasn’t stopped many people – both LGBT activists and mainstream sports commentators – from making the leap: The NBA isn’t ready for Jason Collins because he’s gay. People still don’t believe – and some of them don’t want to believe – that the sports world has already moved past this issue, that yes, even gay athletes can be measured for their ability and content of character.\n\nWhen Collins has been asked about why he wasn’t yet signed, he’s played it smart. He is a Stanford grad, after all. In a recent interview, LZ Granderson pressed Collins on the issue (as any good journalist with a rare interview with Collins would) – but Collins didn’t take the bait. While he’s been out front championing LGBT causes for much of the last year, when it has come to his own future he’s refused to blame a homophobic NBA establishment for not being signed.\n\nOne wonders if new NBA Commissioner Adam Silver, who took over from David Stern a few weeks ago, was particularly pleased with the timing. You can almost hear a sigh of relief in Silver’s response to the Collins signing: “Jason told us that his goal was to earn another contract with an NBA team. Today, I want to commend him on achieving his goal. I know everyone in the NBA family is excited for him and proud that our league fosters an inclusive and respectful environment.” Not a bad thing for Silver to have under his belt during his first month on the job.\n\nHas there been some negative attention to the signing? Well, there’s been the usual ignorant hate on Twitter, which has become so expected after every bit of LGBT news that compiling it all to publicly shame those responsible has become something of a sport of its own. This is becoming less and less common, thankfully, and most of the negative reaction has been couched with phrases like “why is this news” and “who cares” lines, mostly from people who don’t care to hear about the topic for any reason. In the upcoming days, it’s almost inevitable that there will be a player, coach or executive who will slip and say something ugly or ignorant, and they will mostly likely have to respond to the well-deserved backlash that will follow. At this point, most of us have been through this media cycle enough times to have a sense of what’s ahead.\n\nThis brings up a point: as people have become more and more used to the news of notable people coming out of the closet, what exactly are these “distractions” that would make professional sports teams hesitant to sign an openly gay athlete? Before now, a common answer was that teams simply don’t know what distractions there could possibly be, because not a single team in the big four leagues had ever signed one before. Well, as of yesterday, that is no longer true.\n\nRight now, the worry is less about signing a gay athlete and more about signing the First Gay Athlete In Their Sport, and the added media attention it would bring. There’s a strong possibility that the next week will prove that anyone thinking this has severely overestimated the media’s attention span. Over the next few days there will be a lot of chatter, twice as many cameras following the Brooklyn Nets around and an avalanche of thinkpieces much like this one. The media will exhaust every possible angle to this story and then, most likely before his ten-day contract expires, the next big sports story will break, the media circus will depart and Jason Collins will become just another veteran player trying to stay in the league. Collins himself made that point on Sunday: “The news cycle that we have, this story, there are only so many questions [the media] can ask.” In other words, ESPN probably won’t be sending out text alerts a week from now saying “BREAKING: Jason Collins is still gay”. It’s been less than 24 hours and we’re already at the “reaction to the reaction” stage.\n\nThere’s also the possibility of teams losing fans by signing an openly gay player. Now, teams sign felons, jerks and players from rival teams that their fans have hated with passion for years all the time without worrying too much about alienated anyone. Now it’s possible that the next week and a half will show that a significant percentage of fans will refuse to root for a team that employs a backup center who dates other men. It seems rather more likely, however, the next few games will reveal that Nets fans will be less concerned about his weekend plans and far more concerned if he commits too many dumb fouls or becomes too much of an offensive liability to play regularly.\n\nFinally, there’s the worry that an openly gay player could become a problem with locker room chemistry, which, as the mess in the Miami Dolphins organization has proven, might be a bigger concern with some teams rather than others. In this case, it helps that Collins has always had a stellar reputation as a clubhouse guy, which is part of the reason why a guy who averaged 1.1 points a game in the last few years of his career could keep finding NBA teams willing to give him money. Meanwhile, the Nets are stocked with veteran players, some disgruntled fans would say far too many veterans, some who have played with Collins before. Someone who knows Jason Collins better than anyone, twin bother Jarron (of “I’m the straight one” fame) doesn’t think it would be a problem, pointing out that a NBA locker room, ultimately, is a workplace environment:\n\nTo me, I feel as though NBA locker rooms are good workplace environments regardless of anything really. I think anyone would tell you, “Can the guy hoop? Can he play? Can he help our team win?” And I think that’s what NBA athletes concern themselves with as far as teammates go. They want guys, solid guys, to be supportive, have their backs, that are going to work, that have the same level of commitment to reaching the goals as everyone else, to a man. I think at the end of the day, everybody just wants to know, “Can anybody who joins an NBA team, can my teammate help us win games?” That’s what it comes down to, and I think locker rooms are fine.\n\nJason Collins might not be in the league for long, the tenth day of his contract could very well be his last day as a professional basketball player, but he has already secured his place in NBA history. It’s still too early to predict how the media, the league and the fans will respond. We’re only on day two, after all. Still, it already feels like fears that an out gay player will pose too much of a distraction for their team have been overstated. That, more than anything, might end up being Jason Collins’s most lasting legacy.\n"

The boom in the Scottish oil sector during the period also provided a boost to house prices, particularly in several towns along the Aberdeenshire coastline.\"\n\nA: House prices in three Scottish seaside towns have doubled in 10 years, according to the Bank of Scotland.\n\n\nQ: The Frenchman, 35, was due to be out of contract at the end of this season after joining from Bournemouth for an undisclosed fee in January 2016.\nKermorgant has scored eight goals so far this term for the Royals.\n\"Yann has been very important for us throughout the season, with his experience and the quality that he has,\" Reading manager Jaap Stam said.\n\nA: Reading striker Yann Kermorgant has extended his deal with the Championship club until the summer of 2018.\n\n\nQ: The world number 54 progressed against Karlovic with the score at 6-4 1-2 when the big-serving Croatian withdrew.\nBedene, 26, has exited in the first round of the last three tournaments in Brazil, Australia and New Zealand\nHe will face Dutchman Robin Haase - ranked world number 62 - in the next round on Wednesday at 23:00 GMT.\n\nA: British number two Aljaz Bedene reached the second round of the Abierto Mexicano Telcel in Acapulco after Ivo Karlovic was forced to retire.\n\n\nQ: The virtual currency reached $3,451.86 (£2,651) per coin in Monday trade, according to the Coindesk Bitcoin Price Index.\nIt had never crossed the $3,000 mark until the weekend. The market value of all bitcoins in existence has now surpassed $56bn (£43bn).\nThe surge followed the creation of a spin-off crypto-currency, Bitcoin Cash, last week.\nThe new asset is trading well below the peak price of $727.54 (£557) per coin it attained on 2 August.\nHowever, Bitcoin Cash's future does appear to be more assured after Coinbase, one of the leading exchange and wallet services, promised to support it after previously refusing to give such a commitment.\n\"We are planning to have support for Bitcoin Cash by 1 January 2018, assuming no additional risks emerge during that time,\" it announced on its blog.\nThe value of the original Bitcoin experienced big swings in July. First there was concern that there might be a \"civil war\" over rival plans to speed up transactions.\nThat helped cause its value to dip to $1,938.94 (£1,485) on 16 July before a compromise scheme called Segwit2x gained favour.\nThen a fresh plan to fork the currency emerged from a group of insiders unhappy with the Segwit2x initiative.\nOn 1 August, they offered investors a Bitcoin Cash token to match every original Bitcoin token they owned. The move created an incompatible version of the blockchain ledger, which keeps track of past transactions.\nThe initiative had the potential to undermine the original Bitcoin, particularly if many miners had jumped ship. Miners provide the computer processing power to authorise transactions, and Bitcoin Cash was designed to appeal to their interests.\nHowever, it currently remains more profitable to mine the original Bitcoin's blockchain than that of Bitcoin Cash, and support for the new crypto-currency remains limited.\n\"What this has shown is that Bitcoin is much more resilient to forks than some people thought,\" commented Michael Parsons, a blockchain adviser.\n\"And it appears that there is room for more than one type of Bitcoin to exist.\"\nAnother market watcher suggested that the introduction of Bitcoin Cash had actually contributed to the surge in the original version's value.\n\"We've seen a lot of people selling their Bitcoin Cash in order to buy more Bitcoin,\" said Matthew Newton, market analyst at the eToro trading platform.\n\"On top of this, some investors sat on the sidelines last week, waiting to see what happened, these investors are now moving back into Bitcoin.\"\nThe total market capitalisation for all crypto-currencies - including Ethereum and Litecoin - was close to $118bn on Monday at 14:40 BST, according to CoinMarketCap.\n\nA:"

At that point, I was prepared to shower Byblos with hyperbole and senseless praise, damning myself to an eternity as the ferryman of new souls to Byblos, a sort of Charon to their restaurant. But then I ate their Tiramisu and it was the best Tiramisu I had ever had up to that point in my life. I'm writing this review from inside one Byblos' meat coolers. I haven't left in two days.

Authorities said they did not know the extent of wildlife harm, but photos showed oil-covered pelicans and other sea life washed ashore.\n\nBy Wednesday, more than 300 cleanup workers were toiling around the clock, scooping up globs of oil from the sand and raking tar balls.\n\nOfficials overseeing the operation said additional personnel would arrive on Thursday. Crews will also scrub soiled rocks and hose down contaminated areas, Coast Guard Captain Jennifer Williams said.\n\nMeanwhile, nine cleanup vessels plied the ocean, corralling the slick with booms and skimming oil from the surface.\n\nRefugio State Beach and nearby El Capitan State Beach, both popular seaside camping destinations, will remain closed to the public through the Memorial Day holiday weekend. The area was also closed to fishing and shellfish harvesting.\n\nWildlife rescue crews focused on three especially sensitive nesting areas for shore birds, including snowy plovers and least terns, said a state Fish and Wildlife Department spokeswoman.\n\nThe pipeline that burst on Tuesday typically carries about 1,200 barrels of oil an hour from an Exxon Mobil Corp processing facility to a distribution hub in Bakersfield hundreds of miles away, company and county officials said.\n\nThe cause of the rupture remained under investigation. The company said it had inspected the pipeline a few weeks ago, but results had not yet come back.\n\n(Reporting by Steve Gorman in Santa Barbara; Editing by Curtis Skinner and Lisa Von Ahn)\n\nsummary: SANTA BARBARA, May 21- Cleanup teams labored on Thursday for a third day to remove patches of crude petroleum that stained a California beach and fouled offshore waters from a pipeline rupture that may rank as the biggest oil spill to hit the Santa Barbara coastline in more than four decades.

She was delivered naturally at a healthy 7 pounds and it was the best experience of both of our lives. We are thankful to everyone for all your prayers, well wishes, love and support.\"\n\nMeanwhile, the New York City hospital where the couple welcomed their newborn has issued a statement of its own to denounce reports that Beyonce and Jay-Z received special treatment.\n\n\"Lenox Hill Hospital and its staff were delighted to welcome the Carter family for the birth of their firstborn on Saturday evening, but we are troubled by the misinformation being circulated in some news media reports,\" the executive director of the Lenox Hill Hospital, Frank Danza, said in a statement Monday. \"The suggestion that the couple paid $1.3 million to rent an entire maternity floor is simply not true. The family is housed in an executive suite at the hospital and is being billed the standard rate for those accommodations. Our executive suites are available for any patient, including the food service and amenities provided to the Carter family.\"\n\nThere were also rumors that a father was prevented from seeing his premature twin girls by Beyonce and Jay-Z's security team, but Danza denies the reports. While the superstar couple did have their own security, \"No security plan that we or the Carters' security team put in place would have prevented or delayed families from gaining access to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU), and to date, no families have complained to the hospital about being denied access to the NICU.\"\n\nDanza adds that the hospital has \"have made every effort to ensure minimal disruption to other families experiencing the births of their own children over the past three days.\"\n\nOn Monday, Jay-Z focused on baby Blue by releasing a song titled \"Glory\" on his website \"Life + Times,\" along with a single statement: \"Life just got REALLY good.\"\n\nJay-Z rhymes on the song, which features B.I.C. - three guesses what those initials stand for - \"The most amazing feeling I feel/words can't describe what I'm feeling for real/baby, I paint the sky blue/my greatest creation was you.\"\n\nOn the song, Jay says of his inspiration: \"You're a child of destiny/you're the child of my destiny/you're my child with the child from Destiny's Child/that's a hell of a recipe.\" He adds at another point, \"The most beautifulest thing in this world/is daddy's little girl.\"\n\nThe 42-year-old also appears to get surprisingly personal, considering how comparatively private the couple are. \"You don't know what swag is yet but you was made in Paris/and mama woke up the next day and shot an album package,\" Jay-Z says on the track. \"Last time the miscarriage was so tragic/we was afraid you disappeared/but nah, baby, you magic.\"\n\nAnd at the very end, the sound of a baby's cry.

This is when I’m most myself, but it’s also when I’m most afraid of people’s reactions. As a South Asian nonbinary person – someone who does not identify as a man or a woman – I have grown accustomed to people being disgusted by me, to strangers calling out on the street, “What the hell is that?”\n\nMedia outlets – like Time magazine on its 2014 cover featuring Laverne Cox –proclaim that we’re at a “transgender tipping point”, a time of unprecedented visibility for trans people. Yet at moments when I’m facing aggression or contempt from strangers, I recognize that putting trans celebrities on pedestals doesn’t translate into safety for those of us who are visibly gender nonconforming.\n\nRelated: Don't call trans people 'brave' – we're just trying to live in a prejudiced society | Rebecca Kling\n\nOur culture still holds an ingrained suspicion of gender nonconformity, as if people like me exist solely to deceive and harm others. I remember all the times I have been called a freak, an “it” and ugly. To refuse to participate in the gender binary –the idea that there are only “masculinity” and “femininity” which exist in opposition – is to be considered a monster.\n\nI do recognize that there have been some promising changes. The number of Americans who report knowing a trans person has doubled in the past seven years. Obama has hired his first trans staffer; major Democratic leaders have voiced their support for transgender rights; a trans television series even won an Emmy. But prominent trans figures still tend to fall squarely on one side of the gender binary – that is, they transitioned from one side of it to the other. Think Caitlyn Jenner’s pinup look in Vanity Fair or Ian Harvie’s lumberjack aesthetic on Transparent.\n\nBut not all transgender people medically transition into an opposite gender, contrary to how the mainstream media is telling this story, nor do we want to. Many of us do not change our names or documents, do not undergo hormone therapy and do not seek to pass as cisgender – when someone’s self-identification aligns with the gender they were assigned at birth.\n\nFor me, the “trans tipping point” tends to be yet another form of exclusion because it recognizes only those trans people who make claims to “real” womanhood or manhood. Transgender people who present a fixed male or female identity are regarded as representative of all of us. And I wonder if their acceptance by society is less a reflection of progress than a question of palatability. Indeed, while celebrities like Jenner challenge the idea that gender is innate, ultimately they don’t challenge society’s mandate that we all must exist as either male or female.\n\nThe rest of us – whose identities are more fluid, more difficult for strangers to comprehend and relate to – may not be visible in media but are more noticeable on the streets. As it stands, according to a nationwide survey by the National Center for Transgender Equality, nonbinary people, especially those of us who are people of color, are more likely than binary trans people to attempt suicide, be harassed by the police, live in abject poverty and be sexually and physically assaulted. What has become evident is that so many of us who do not pass as male or female are still regarded as disposable by both cis and trans communities. Too often, efforts to gain acceptance and rights for trans men and trans women has meant ignoring those of us who are not as easily categorized.\n\nRelated: We can't let increased transgender visibility lead to more vulnerability | Harmony Rodriguez\n\nTake, for example, the issue of trans-inclusive public restrooms. Recently politicians in Florida, Texas and other states have attempted to pass laws criminalizing trans people for using public restrooms. A trans-activist photo campaign called #WeJustNeedToPee responded to the proposed laws with photos of trans people looking out of place in restrooms of the genders to which they were assigned at birth: a trans woman with long ringlets and red lipstick in front of urinals, a trans man in a cowboy hat and beard looking stoic next to a woman at a bathroom sink, with the caption “Do I look like I belong in women’s facilities?”\n\nThe campaign successfully highlighted the ridiculousness of the “bathroom bills”, but it did so by leaning on old-fashioned gender rules: shock that someone who looked like a “woman” could be in a “men’s” restroom and vice versa.\n\nPeople like me were erased from this framing, even though we often experience the brunt of gender policing, because society continually misgenders us. Rather than challenging the idea that you can tell someone’s gender from what they look like (or the notion that bathrooms should be gendered to begin with!), many trans activists and allies accepted the idea that certain people who look certain ways belong in certain bathrooms. Nobody should have to look a particular way to pee safely.\n\nI wonder if we can understand this “tipping point” less as a moment of triumph and more as a call for reflection. Society’s message to trans people feels like: “Congratulations! As long as you look like a conventionally attractive, respectable, thin cisgender model. Otherwise expect to continue experiencing discrimination, hostility and violence – and to be blamed for it.”\n\nThis is not the fault of individual binary trans people; it is part of a larger system of gender binarism that requires us to assimilate into discrete categories of “man” or “woman” to be worthy of recognition and safety. Instead of requiring trans people to modify how we look, our society can work to redefine its limited ideas of what masculinity and femininity are. Let’s push beyond the “tipping point” and ensure justice for the full range of our identities.\n\nWrite a one or two sentence summary.\n\nSummary:"

"content": "I know that the answer to the question \"Why is it hard to find Annelid fossils?\" is in \"Since annelids are soft-bodied, their fossils are rare. Polychaetes' fossil record consists mainly of the jaws that some species had and the mineralized tubes that some secreted. Some Ediacaran fossils such as Dickinsonia in some ways resemble polychaetes, but the similarities are too vague for these fossils to be classified with confidence. The small shelly fossil Cloudina, from 549 to 542 million years ago, has been classified by some authors as an annelid, but by others as a cnidarian (i.e. in the phylum to which jellyfish and sea anemones belong). Until 2008 the earliest fossils widely accepted as annelids were the polychaetes Canadia and Burgessochaeta, both from Canada's Burgess Shale, formed about 505 million years ago in the early Cambrian. Myoscolex, found in Australia and a little older than the Burgess Shale, was possibly an annelid. However, it lacks some typical annelid features and has features which are not usually found in annelids and some of which are associated with other phyla. Then Simon Conway Morris and John Peel reported Phragmochaeta from Sirius Passet, about 518 million years old, and concluded that it was the oldest annelid known to date. There has been vigorous debate about whether the Burgess Shale fossil Wiwaxia was a mollusc or an annelid. Polychaetes diversified in the early Ordovician, about 488 to 474 million years ago. It is not until the early Ordovician that the first annelid jaws are found, thus the crown-group cannot have appeared before this date and probably appeared somewhat later. By the end of the Carboniferous, about 299 million years ago, fossils of most of the modern mobile polychaete groups had appeared. Many fossil tubes look like those made by modern sessile polychaetes , but the first tubes clearly produced by polychaetes date from the Jurassic, less than 199 million years ago.\". Can you tell me what it is?\nThe answer to this question is:"

A 50-foot (15Â m) containment wall surrounds the island and routes out of Manhattan have been dismantled or mined, while armed helicopters patrol the rivers. In 1997, while travelling to a peace summit between the United States, China and the Soviet Union, Air Force One is hijacked by a terrorist. The President is given a security bracelet, and has a briefcase (containing an audiotape describing a powerful new bomb) handcuffed to his wrist. He makes it to an escape pod, and lands in Manhattan just before Air Force One crashes, killing everyone else aboard. Police officers are dispatched to rescue the President. However, Romero, the right-hand man of the Duke of New York, the top crime boss in the prison, warns them that the Duke has taken the President hostage, and that he will be killed if the police mount any further rescue attempts. Police Commissioner Bob Hauk offers a deal to \"Snake\" Plissken, a former Special Forces soldier convicted of attempting to rob the Federal Reserve in Denver, Colorado: if Snake rescues the President and retrieves the cassette tape, Hauk will arrange a presidential pardon. To ensure his compliance, Hauk has him injected with explosives that will rupture Snake's carotid arteries within 22 hours; if Snake returns with the President and the tape in time, Hauk will neutralize the explosives. Snake is sent into Manhattan in a stealth glider, landing atop the World Trade Center. He tracks the President's life-monitor bracelet to a vaudeville theatre, only to find it on the wrist of an old man. He meets \"Cabbie,\" who takes Snake in his armored taxi cab to Harold \"Brain\" Hellman, an advisor to the Duke based in the New York Public Library. Brain tells Snake that the Duke plans to unify the gangs in a mass exodus across the heavily-guarded Queensboro Bridge, using the President as a human shield and a map Brain has created to avoid the mines.

His science fiction is like nothing else I've ever read, and it is very well written (often not the case in this genre) and very thought provoking (also not always found). In this story very credible sentient \"machines\" are inserted into the Iliad, in which the Gods are futuristic nano-enhanced humans. Throughout the book, beautiful discourse on Shakespeare, Proust, and Homer is juxtaposed with conceit, arrogance, and the devastating destruction that can be caused by the misuse of advances in human knowledge. It is a wonderful saga, and there is something here for the linguist, the literature fan, the science buff, and even more for folk like me who like to mix them up.

This huge pink gem has an unusual flaw: looking deeply into the stone, one perceives a tiny discoloration resembling a leaping pink panther hence the name. As the camera moves in, this image comes to life and participates in the credits. When Dala is a young woman, rebels seize power in Lugash and then demand possession of the jewel, but the exiled princess refuses to hand it over.Dala (Claudia Cardinale) relaxes on holiday at an exclusive skiing resort in Cortina d'Ampezzo, where noted British playboy Sir Charles Lytton (David Niven), who leads a secret life as a jewel thief called \"The Phantom\", has his eyes on the Pink Panther. His American playboy nephew, George (Robert Wagner), follows his uncle to the resort hoping to steal the jewel and blame it on the Phantom, not realizing that the Phantom is his uncle.On the Phantom's trail is the klutzy French police inspector Jacques Clouseau (Peter Sellers) of the Sûreté, whose wife Simone (Capucine) is unknown to him the paramour of Charles and helper in the Phantom's crimes. Clouseau tries to stop the theft attempts, but he is so clueless and clumsy that when several attempts are made at a fancy-dress party, he looks everywhere but the right place. Throughout the film, scenes at the skiing resort's hotel show Madame Clouseau dodging her husband while trying both to carry out Sir Charles' plans and to avoid George, who is enamoured of her.In spite of himself, the buffoonish inspector captures Sir Charles and his accomplice George when they both try to steal the diamond during a costume party. A long car chase though the streets ends with all of the vehicles colliding with one another.Later, Simone discovers that Dala herself stole the diamond from her own safe over her fears of being deported back to Lugash.

Aboard is Joe Strombel (Ian McShane), trying to bribe the ferryman. He strikes up a conversation with another deceased soul on the ferry, Jane Cook, now former secretary to Peter Lyman (Hugh Jackman), son of an English lord. Joe mentions that he died of a coronary thrombosis. Jane, however, believes she was murdered... by Lyman himself. Jane tells Joe hat she was getting suspicious that Lyman was in fact a serial killer known to English police as the Tarot Card killer. Joe wrote a case about these murders when they first began, and wonders why Jane suspects Lyman.Jane says that at the last murder, a cufflink was found-- an expensive Art Deco. Lyman had these exact cufflink models... and before Jane died, she noticed he'd lost one of them. Jane phoned her lawyer for advice on whether to report it, and heard a faint click on the phone line, as if someone had been listening in. Later that day, she'd had a cup of tea, and she died very suddenly shortly afterward, leading her to suspect that her tea had been poisoned. This fascinates Joe, and he's a little sad that he got the 'scoop' on Lyman, but now that he's dead, he can't tell the story to others.At the prestigious Dorchester Hotel, a film director named Tinsley is arriving, and at the door to his room is a young American journalism student named Sondra Pransky (Scarlet Johannsen).

Their manager prostitutes the beautiful Gong-gil to rich customers, and Jang-saeng sickens of this practice. After Gonggil kills the manager in defense of Jang-saeng, the pair flees to Seoul, where they form a new group with three other street performers.Together the group comes up with a skit mocking some members of the Royal Court, including the king and his new concubine Jang Noksu. After they are arrested for treason, Jang-saeng makes a deal with Choseon, who turns out to be one of the King's servants, to either make the king laugh at their skit or to be executed. They perform their skit for the king, but the three minor performers are too terrified to perform well. Gong-gil and Jang-saeng barely save themselves with one last joke at the king, who laughs and then makes them part of his Court. The King falls for the effeminate Gong-gil, whom he calls to his private chambers often to perform finger puppet shows. Jang-saeng becomes jealous of this relationship. Meanwhile, the King becomes more and more unstable. He makes the clowns perform a skit depicting how his mother, the favorite concubine of the former king, was forced to take poison after being betrayed by other jealous concubines. The King then slaughters these concubines at the end of the play. Jangs-aeng asks Gong-gil to leave with him and the gang at once before the King kills them too during one of his homicidal fits.

Hooked as much on one another as they are on the drug, their relationship is alternating states of oblivion, self-destruction, and despair. The film is organized in 3 acts of roughly 3 scenes each, titled Heaven, Earth, and Hell: In Heaven, the young lovers ecstatically experience sex and drugs. Constantly seeking drug money, they borrow from Candy's parents or eccentric university professor Casper (Geoffrey Rush), selling things, stealing, even prostituting when desperate. In Earth they are married and confront the realities of addiction and family life. Dan purchases the drugs; Candy becomes a prostitute. Dan steals a credit card and gets the owner's PIN, then steals money from his bank funds. Candy becomes pregnant, and despite their efforts to \"go clean\", the baby is delivered stillborn at 23 weeks. They finally stop taking drugs with huge effort, going through agonizing withdrawal symptoms in the process. Despite poor living conditions, constant struggles for money, and frequent disputes, they love each other very much. In Hell they experience the dissolution of their relationship and recovery. They choose to move to the country to \"try methadone\" as a way to ease into a more normal life. After a disastrous Sunday lunch, Candy fights with her parents, breaks down, and screams at them to leave. Eventually, she becomes involved with a neighbor, a fellow drug user, and relapses to her previous lifestyle. She has a complete mental breakdown and becomes extremely distant toward Dan. He looks up Casper again, but he has died of a drug overdose; this forces Dan to reconsider his life. While Candy recovers in a clinic, Dan gets clean and gets a dishwashing job.

Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle), the manager of Sabena Hôtel des Mille Collines, is Hutu but his wife, Tatiana (Sophie Okonedo), is Tutsi. His marriage is a source of friction with Hutu extremists, most prominently George Rutaganda, a friendly supplier to the hotel who also is the local leader of Interahamwe, a brutal anti-Tutsi militia.As the political situation in the country deteriorates, Paul and his family observe neighbors being dragged from their homes and openly beaten in the streets. Paul curries favor with people of influence, bribing them with money and alcohol, seeking to maintain sufficient influence to keep his family safe. When civil war erupts and a Rwandan Army officer threatens Paul and his neighbors, Paul barely negotiates their safety, and brings everyone to the hotel. More refugees come to the hotel from the overburdened United Nations camp, the Red Cross, and orphanages. Paul must divert the Hutu soldiers, care for the refugees, be a source of strength to his family, and maintain the appearance of a functioning high-class hotel, as the situation becomes more and more violent, with mobs in the streets just outside the gates.The UN Peacekeeping forces, led by Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte), are unable to take assertive action against the Interhamwe since they are forbidden to intervene in the genocide. The foreign nationals are evacuated, but the Rwandans are left behind. When the UN forces attempt to evacuate a group of refugees, including Paul's family, they are ambushed and must turn back. In a last-ditch effort to save the refugees, Paul speaks to the Rwandan Army General, Augustin Bizimungu (Fana Mokoena) and when the bribes no longer work, he blackmails him with threats of being tried as a war criminal. The family and the hotel refugees finally leave the besieged hotel in a UN convoy, and they travel through retreating masses of refugees and militia to reach safety...

The Rebels, led by Princess Leia, set up their new base on the ice planet Hoth. The Imperial fleet, led by Darth Vader, continues to hunt for the Rebelsâ new base by dispatching probe droids across the galaxy. While investigating a potential meteor strike, Luke Skywalker is captured by a wampa. He manages to escape from its cave with his lightsaber, but soon succumbs to the brutally cold temperatures. The ghost of his late mentor, Obi-Wan Kenobi, instructs him to go to the Dagobah system to train under Jedi Master Yoda. He is found by Han Solo, who uses the warmth of his dead tauntaun to keep Luke warm while he sets up a shelter. Han and Luke make it through the night and are rescued by Zev Senesca. On patrol, Han and Chewbacca discover the meteor Luke had planned to investigate is actually a probe droid, which alerts the Empire to the Rebelsâ location. The Empire launches a large-scale attack, using AT-AT Walkers to capture the base. Han and Leia escape on the Millennium Falcon with C-3PO and Chewbacca, but their hyperdrive malfunctions. They hide in an asteroid field, where Han and Leia grow closer. Vader summons bounty hunters, including the notorious Boba Fett, to assist in finding the Falcon. Luke, meanwhile, escapes with R2-D2 in his X-wing fighter and crash-lands on the swamp planet Dagobah. He meets a diminutive creature who is revealed to be Yoda; after conferring with Obi-Wan's spirit, Yoda reluctantly accepts Luke as his pupil.

After leaving the studio to record potential sound effects at a local park, he sees a car careen off the road and plunge into a nearby creek. Jack dives into the water to help, discovering a dead man and a young woman, still alive, trapped inside the submerged car. He pulls her to safety and accompanies her to a local hospital. Jack learns that the driver of the car was the governor (and a presidential hopeful); the girl was an escort named Sally (Allen). Associates of the governor attempt to whitewash the incident by concealing that Sally was in the car, and they convince Jack to smuggle Sally out of the hospital with him. Jack listens to the audio tape he recorded of the accident, wherein he distinctly hears a gunshot just before the blow out that caused the accident. He sees a television report that, seemingly by coincidence, Manny Karp (Franz) was also in the park that night and filmed the accident with a motion picture camera. When Karp sells stills from his film to a local tabloid, Jack splices them together into a crude movie and syncs them with the audio he recorded, becoming even more suspicious that the accident was actually an assassination. Unknown to Jack, Sally and Karp were both co-conspirators in a larger plot against the governor. The gunman, Burke (Lithgow), intended that Sally also die in the crash. He begins murdering local women bearing a resemblance to Sally, whose deaths are attributed to a serial killer, \"the Liberty Bell Strangler\". Jack draws Sally into his own private investigation of the incident. She steals Karp's film of the car accident, which, when synced to Jack's audio, clearly reveals the gunshot that anticipated the blow out. Nevertheless, nobody believes Jack's story, and every move he makes is immediately silenced by a seemingly widespread conspiracy.

Geeky Michael Eckman warns him that Bianca is vapid and conceited, and that her overprotective father does not allow Bianca or her older sister, the shrewish Kat, to date. Kat, a senior, is accepted to Sarah Lawrence College in New York, but her father, Walter, wants her to stay close to home. Bianca wishes to date affluent senior Joey Donner, but Walter, an obstetrician worrisome of teenage pregnancy, will not allow his daughters to date until they graduate. Frustrated by Bianca's insistence and Kat's rebelliousness, Walter declares that Bianca may date only when Kat does, knowing that Kat's antisocial attitude makes this unlikely. When Cameron asks Bianca out, she informs him of her father's new rule and, as a pretense for allowing her to date Joey, suggests that Cameron find someone willing to date Kat. Cameron selects \"bad boy\" Patrick Verona, but Patrick scares him off. Michael assists by convincing Joey to pay Patrick to take out Kat, under the pretense that this will allow Joey to date Bianca. Patrick agrees to the deal, but Kat rebuffs his first few advances. Michael and Cameron help him by prying Bianca for information on Kat's likes and dislikes. Armed with this knowledge, Patrick begins to win Kat's interest. She goes to a party with him, which enables Bianca to go as well, much to Walter's dismay. At the party, Kat becomes upset when she sees Bianca with Joey, and responds by getting drunk. Patrick attends to her, and Kat starts to open up, expressing her interest in starting a band. However, when she tries to kiss him, Patrick pulls away and Kat leaves, infuriated. Meanwhile, Bianca ignores Cameron in favor of Joey, leaving Cameron dejected.

Valentin reacts with humor to the accident and shows off with Peppy for the cameras. The next day, Peppy finds herself on the front page of Variety with the headline \"Who's That Girl?\" Later, Peppy auditions as a dancer and is spotted by Valentin, who insists that she have a part in Kinograph Studios' next production, despite objections from the studio boss, Al Zimmer. While performing a scene in which they dance together, Valentin and Peppy show great chemistry, despite her being merely an extra. With a little guidance from Valentin (he draws a beauty spot on her, which will eventually be her trademark, after finding her in his dressing room), Peppy slowly rises through the industry, earning more prominent starring roles. Two years later, Zimmer announces the end of production of silent films at Kinograph Studios, but Valentin is dismissive, insisting that sound is just a fad. In a dream, Valentin begins hearing sounds from his environment (as does the audience), but cannot speak himself, then wakes up in a sweat. He decides to produce and direct his own silent film, financing it himself. The film opens on the same day as Peppy's new sound film as well as the 1929 Stock Market Crash. Now Valentin's only chance of avoiding bankruptcy is for his film to be a hit. Unfortunately audiences flock to Peppy's film instead and Valentin is ruined. His wife, Doris, kicks him out, and he moves into an apartment with his valet/chauffeur, Clifton, and his dog. Peppy goes on to become a major Hollywood star. Later, the bankrupt Valentin is forced to auction off all of his personal effects, and after realizing he has not paid loyal Clifton in over a year, gives him the car and fires him, telling him to get another job. Depressed and drunk, Valentin angrily sets a match to his private collection of his earlier films. As the nitrate film quickly blazes out...\n++++++++\nAnswer:"

"content": "April 2-May 2 is the worst 30 day period for me. The reason is… April 2, 2014 was the day my 53 year old wife found out that she had metastasized lung cancer. A large tumor had formed on the bottom of one lung, they found 4 tumors in her brain, another large one in her stomach and several more throughout her intestinal track. She rarely complained about physical problems and I knew something was wrong when she said she needed to go to the hospital ER. She died exactly 30 days later. I spent virtually every minute of that time with her. I went with her to radiation appointments. I stayed in the hospital with her because it seemed like every week I would have to take her in for something that required a 3 or 4 day stay. And the final trip to the ER was May 1st. An MRI showed that one of the tumors in her intestines had torn a hole in her bowel. The ER surgeon told us straight up that she was beyond any medical care that could help her and to use the next 24 hours to say goodbye to family and friends. And almost exactly 24 hours later, she was gone. I was devastated. 30.5 years of Happily Ever After turned into god fucking damn it all to hell! And when April 2 rolls around every year, I begin living those last 30 days of her life over again. I thought that after the third time in 2017 that I was about ready to let it go. I started really living again instead of just existing. But when April 2 came this year, I found that I was back in my memories. It was easier to deal with this time because of the way I had changed over the last year. I hung around with more friends and they helped distract me and one actually helped me turn May 2 into a celebration. And I love her for that. That's my story. Their wife died: A. 30 days before going to the ER B. 30 hours later C. not enough information D. 30 days after she found out she had cancer\nD\n\n\n(Question)\nThe classic Key West-style house just off Fleming looked much like the rest of the residences on the block - two-story wooden frame walls and peaked roofs with shallow porches nearly butting up against the sidewalk. Chloe's rusting blue Vespa was tucked away beside the house, in the narrow space separating it from the neighbors. To anyone walking by outside, everything looked quiet and peaceful. Inside, Chloe was pissed. Everything had been going great and then those stupid fuckers had decided to show up a week early, forcing her to scramble to pack a week's work into a single day. She wore a black bandana wrapped around her head, covering her buzz cut pink hair. Numerous smudges of dirt on her cheeks and the tip of her nose testified to the heavy-duty cleaning she'd been doing for the past five hours. She wore loose fitting shorts and a tight-fitting tank top that had once been white. In her bare feet she pushed a mop across the hardwood floors, grumbling to herself. She heard the door open and looked up to see Paul standing in the doorway. Even though it wasn't his fault, she glared at him as he came in. As much as Chloe liked a clean house, she hated housework, and this wasn't even her house. This particular space was sparsely decorated with just a few worn pieces of furniture and some bad condo art on the walls. After six months of being sealed up tight with the air conditioner off, it smelled of dust and mildew and needed a good airing out. \"What are you doing?\" asked Paul, closing the door behind him. \"Mopping,\" she said, her voice flat. \"Right. But why are you mopping here? Whose house is this anyway?\" \"It's one we just added to the roster last week. The cleaning service hasn't had a chance to get in here yet.\" \"I see that,\" said Paul. \"So why're you cleaning it tonight?\" \"We're cleaning it tonight because the Guidarizzi's decided to make a surprise visit to their winter home in Key West. They're coming in tomorrow afternoon. Every other decent place is filled up, so we have to use this one instead.\" How long will it probably take the Guidarizzi's to get to Key West? A. A few hours. B. not enough information C. A few minutes. D. A few days.\n(Answer)\nA\n\n\nIt’s October, which means it’s that time of the year again: flu vaccination time! Back when I worked in a primary care clinic, this is when we made a big push to offer the seasonal flu shot to all of our patients. (And we got ourselves immunized, as well.) Not all of our patients agreed. Many older adults are skeptical of the need to get a yearly vaccination against influenza. They aren’t sure it will help. Or they think that the vaccination will actually give them a mild case of the flu. Or they just don’t like needles. Or maybe they aren’t sure which type of seasonal flu shot to get: the regular one or one of the newer “stronger” versions, designed for older adults? I’m never surprised when people bring up these questions. Vaccination for seasonal influenza can indeed be a confusing topic. But it’s certainly important to consider. Depending on the year, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that every year, influenza affects 9-60 million Americans, causes 140,000-710,100 hospitalizations, and results in 12,000-56,000 deaths. (Influenza is more severe in some years than others.) Most people get better without needing hospitalization, but some people get very sick. Older adults are especially likely to get dangerously ill from catching the flu. So I agree with the CDC’s recommendation: everyone over the age of 6 months should get their seasonal flu shot. In fact, I’m about to go get mine. As a healthy woman in her 40s, I’m not that concerned about getting dangerously ill from influenza. Instead, I get my annual flu shot because I want to minimize my chance of getting sick and perhaps exposing my older patients to influenza. This month, you’ll probably be encouraged to get vaccinated too. So in this article, I’ll address some key things to know about influenza and the flu shot, along with some common questions and concerns. Here’s what I’ll cover: * The basics of influenza and vaccination against the flu * What to know about flu shots for older adults * What’s new and resources for the 2017-2018 flu... What did the author's co-workers at the primary care clinic probably believe? A. not enough information B. They probably believe that flu shots don't help. C. They probably believe all adults should get a flu shot. D. They probably believe that needles are bad.\n"

This tomb has been designated Burial 1; it was found during excavations of Structure 7A and was inserted into the centre of this Middle Preclassic structure. The burial is also associated with Stela 13 and with a massive offering of more than 600 ceramic vessels and other artifacts found at the base of Structure 7A. These ceramics date the offering to the end of the Late Preclassic. No human remains have been recovered but the find is assumed to be a burial due to the associated artifacts. The body is believed to have been interred upon a litter measuring 1 by 2 metres (3.3 by 6.6 ft), which was probably made of wood and coated in red cinnabar dust. Grave goods include an 18-piece jade necklace, two earspools coated in cinnabar, various mosaic mirrors made from iron pyrite, one consisting of more than 800 pieces, a jade mosaic mask, two prismatic obsidian blades, a finely carved greenstone fish, various beads that presumably formed jewellery such as bracelets and a selection of ceramics that date the tomb to AD 100–200.In October 2012, a tomb carbon-dated between 700 BC and 400 BC was reported to have been found in Takalik Abaj of a ruler nicknamed K'utz Chman (\"Grandfather Vulture\" in Mam) by archaeologists, a sacred king or \"big chief\" who \"bridged the gap between the Olmec and Mayan cultures in Central America,\" according to Miguel Orrego.

Many of these works were composed during his summer holidays which were spent at Eastbourne. The Ode for the Exhibition was the cause of a further imbroglio with Costa, who although in charge of music for the Exhibition refused to conduct anything by Bennett. Eventually it was conducted by Prosper Sainton, between works by Meyerbeer and Daniel Auber also commissioned for the occasion. The affair leaked into the press, and Costa was widely condemned for his behaviour.In March 1856 Bennett, while still teaching at the RAM and Queen's College, was elected Professor of Music at the University of Cambridge. He modernised the system of awarding music degrees, instituting viva voce examinations and requiring candidates for doctorates to first take the degree of Bachelor of Music. Two years later on 8 June 1868 the newly formed (later Royal) College of Organists awarded him an Honorary Fellowship.In 1858 came yet another clash involving Costa, when the autocratic Earl of Westmorland, the original founder of the RAM, saw fit to arrange a subscription concert for the Academy to include a Mass of his own composition, to be conducted by Costa and using the orchestra and singers of the Opera, over the... answer the following question: What is the title of the man who's overbearing behavior forced the man who lost his wife in 1862 to resign from RAM?\n\nA: Earl of Westmorland\n\n\nProblem: Given the following context: Philip Arnold Heseltine (30 October 1894 – 17 December 1930), known by the pseudonym Peter Warlock, was a British composer and music critic. The Warlock name, which reflects Heseltine's interest in occult practices, was used for all his published musical works. He is best known as a composer of songs and other vocal music; he also achieved notoriety in his lifetime through his unconventional and often scandalous lifestyle. As a schoolboy at Eton College, Heseltine met the British composer Frederick Delius, with whom he formed a close friendship. After a failed student career in Oxford and London, Heseltine turned to musical journalism, while developing interests in folk-song and Elizabethan music. His first serious compositions date from around 1915. Following a period of inactivity, a positive and lasting influence on his work arose from his meeting in 1916 with the Dutch composer Bernard van Dieren; he also gained creative impetus from a year spent in Ireland, studying Celtic culture and language. On his return to England in 1918, Heseltine began composing songs in a distinctive, original style, while building a reputation as a combative and controversial music critic. During 1920–21 he edited the music magazine The Sackbut. His most prolific period as a composer came in the 1920s, when he was based first in Wales and later at Eynsford in Kent. Through his critical writings, published under his own name, Heseltine made a pioneering contribution to the scholarship of early music. In addition, he produced a full-length biography of Frederick Delius and wrote, edited, or otherwise assisted the production of several other books and pamphlets. Towards the end of his life, Heseltine became depressed by a loss of his creative inspiration. He died in his London flat of coal gas poisoning in 1930, probably by his own hand. answer the following question: What is the first name of the person who died in his London flat of coal gas poisoning in 1930, probably by his own hand?\n\nA:"

China\nAnswer: The film depicts the life of Bodhidharma (Suriya), a master of martial arts and medical remedies, who is depicted in the film as the son of a great Tamil king of the Pallava Dynasty. He is sent to China by his guru, who requests him to stop the spread of a pandemic disease existing there from spreading to India. Initially the people in China treated him as an inferior but later when he cures a little girl from the deadly disease and fights against some people who ill treated villagers there, the people of China began to respect and worship him. He begins to teach them how to cure many diseases, the skills of hypnotism and the physical training of the Shaolin monks that led to the creation of Shaolinquan. However, after several years, when he expresses his desire to return to India, the villagers plot to poison him and bury him near the temple, believing that their place would be disease free if he is buried there. Bodhidharma agrees to die and subsequently becomes a fundamental figure in Chinese history, affectionately being dubbed as \"Damo\".The film switches to modern-day China, where Dong Lee (Johnny Tri Nguyen) is given the task of starting a government planned biological war against India, known as Operation Red. Dong Lee arrives in Chennai starts this operation by injecting a virus into a street dog. This disease was the one which occurred during the time of Bodhidharma in China. Meanwhile, Subha Srinivasan (Shruti Haasan), a student of genetics researches that Bodhidharma can be brought back to life if his sample of DNA is matched with another sample of DNA which she finds in Aravind (Suriya) a descendant of Bodhidharma who is working as a circus artist nearby.

The story takes place in the decaying city of London, the capital of the territory of Airstrip One (formerly Great Britain). Winston is just another lowly Politcal Party official in the Ministry of Propaganda. He lives in a small, dirty flat, and works in a small office cubicle alongside dozens of other men and women at the Ministry of Truth, rewriting history in accordance with the dictates of the Party and its (probably mythical) supreme figurehead, Big Brother (Bob Flag), a Joseph Stalin--esq leader who is never seen in public and whom appears only on propaganda posters, advertising billboards, and television monitors.

Automaton-like, he goes through his daily routine, under constant surveillance from the \"telescreens\" (two-way TV monitors) and his fellow citizens.

Harry Osborn, seeking vengeance for his father's death in the first film, attacks Peter with new weapons based on his father's Green Goblin technology. The fight results in Harry receiving amnesia, erasing his memory of Peter as Spider-Man as well as his vengeance. During a festival honoring Spider-Man, Peter kisses Gwen Stacy for show, infuriating Mary Jane. A newly superpowered Marko robs an armored car nearby and Spider-Man confronts him. Initially warning him to leave to avoid a fight, Marko easily subdues him and escapes. Later, NYPD Captain George Stacy tells Peter and Aunt May that Marko was Uncle Ben's killer, and the deceased Dennis Carradine was only Marko's accomplice.
