<s>[INST] Go through this text and glean the main points: For most people, solving a Rubik's cube is hard enough - many houses have one of the unsolved puzzles stored away in a cupboard somewhere, away from frustrated eyes. So if you fall into that group, look away now - because one company has made a giant version of the popular toy. With more than 18 times more squares than the regular toy, the latest gadget promises to confound a whole new generation this Christmas. Hong Kong-based Brando has released a larger version of a Rubik's cube (shown). Each of its six sides have a huge 169 coloured tiles - 1,014 in total . Called the Pillow 13x13x13 IQ Brick, the cube is formed from 13 squares in a row on each side of the cube. In total the 3D puzzle features 1,014 coloured tiles that have to be matched up in order to complete the buzzle. That means each side has a rather daunting 169 coloured tiles, compared to just the nine found on a regular Rubik's Cube. Its makers, Hong Kong-based Brando, claim it is ‘good for creative thinking and improving both your IQ and EQ [emotional intelligence]'. However, anyone wanting to try and solve the puzzle might be put off by the price - a whopping £205 ($320) - which is almost as head scratching as the toy itself. Brando says the toy has a quality design and is made to handle smoothly. It is also apparently good for training both your left and right brain, according to the company. However, with regards to any hints to solving it, Brando only suggests taking a ‘tea break' and retrying it. The Pillow 13x13x13 IQ Brick has more than 18 times more squares than the regular toy - which has 54. It is also slightly curved on each side. But the price is equally challenging - at a whopping £205 ($320) Brando, claim the toy is ‘good for creative thinking and improving both your IQ and EQ [emotional intelligence].' But to solve it all they recommend is a 'tea break' and to try again . The original Rubik's cube (shown) was invented by Hungarian architect Erno Rubik in 1974 - but compared to the latest version, it has just a paltry 54 coloured tiles . Single time: Mats Valk of the Netherlands in March 2013 with a time of 5.55 seconds at the Zonhoven Open in Belgium. Average time: Feliks Zemdegs at the Melbourne Cube Day 2013 with a 6.54 seconds average solve time. One-handed solving: A time of 9.03 seconds was made by Feliks Zemdegs at the Lifestyle Seasons Summer 2014 . Feet solving: Fakhri Raihaan solved a Rubik's Cube with his feet in 27.93 seconds at the Celebes 2012. Robot: Cubestormer 3 solved a Rubik's Cube in 3.253 seconds - beating the Cubestormer 2's record of 5.27 seconds. A few days ago, Marcin Kowalczyk produced a moment for fans of the original Rubik's cube to savour - when he solved the puzzle blindfolded in just 21.17 seconds - a new world record. The speed cuber took a few seconds to memorise the pattern on the Rubik's cube and then, while blindfolded, he needed just a few more to solve it during a competition in Szczecin in western Poland. A judge held a piece of paper between Marcin's face and his hands to make sure he couldn't peek under his mask. His celebration was subdued, however, as he jumped out of his chair and remained quiet out of respect for other competitors who were still trying to solve the puzzle. Quite how he'd cope with the 13-cubed Rubik's cube while blindfolded remains to be seen - or rather not seen. [/INST] Hong Kong-based Brando has released a larger version of a Rubik's cube .

<s>[INST] What's the gist of this passage? Arsenal face Besiktas at the formidable Ataturk Stadium on Tuesday night bidding to reach the Champions League group stages for the 17th consecutive year. Sportsmail provides the lowdown on the Gunners' opponents ahead of the first leg of the qualifying tie in Istanbul. VIDEO Scroll down for Besiktas Manager Slaven Bilic: We're not here for a jolly up . Fighting spirit: Arsenal get into the mood to face Besiktas with a playful scrap in training on Monday . First look: Arsene Wenger (centre) and Mathieu Flamini (left) takes a stroll on the pitch at the Ataturk Stadium . So what do Arsenal have to worry about? 76,000 raging Turks is never a hospitable sight. It will be raucous, visceral and unpleasant. When Manchester United visited in 2009, Sir Alex Ferguson said afterwards: 'The fans made the loudest noise I have ever heard.' Arsenal will have to show that they are made of the right stuff and silence the Ataturk Stadium. Flying the flag: Besiktas supporters are passionate, noisy and generate a fearsome atmosphere . Firestarter: Besiktas supporters revel in the heat of a Champions League clash against Chelsea in 2003 . Anything to concern Arsenal on the pitch? Pre-season can often be a deception - just ask Manchester United - but Besiktas did beat Chelsea 1-0 in Istanbul just a few weeks ago. It was, however, only a 45-minute game. The Turks also lost 2-1 against Wigan Athletic in a friendly game this summer. Danger sign? Oguzhan Ozyakup (right) and Willian (left) during Besiktas's pre-season defeat of Chelsea . Who do Arsenal need to watch out for? Demba Ba is the main man, having moved to Besiktas this summer after scoring 50 goals in English football over the course of three seasons at West Ham, Newcastle and Chelsea. Another former Premier League player - Kerim Frei - who spent a couple of seasons at Fulham, is highly-rated by Arsenal's Turkish opposition. Familiar face: Demba Ba (centre) now leads the line for the Turks after his summer move from Chelsea . And who's the leader on the sidelines? Slaven Bilic, the former West Ham defender that rather enjoys knocking English teams out of competitions. He was the man in charge of Croatia when they defeated Steve McClaren's England home and away to deny the Three Lions' progress into Euro 2008. Bogey man: Former West Ham, Everton and Croatia defender Slaven Bilic is boss at Besiktas . Reason to be cheerful? Arsenal have a potent record against Turkish opposition. Over 90 minutes, they have played seven games, winning four of those and drawing three. Arsenal also defeated Turkish side Fenerbahce to qualify for the Champions League group stages last season. Reason to be fearful? Arsenal fans still rue that UEFA Cup final in Copenhagen in 2000, when the Gunners were defeated by Galatasaray in a penalty shootout. Davor Suker and Patrick Vieira both missed from the spot to hand the victory to the Turkish side. In clashes before the game, four men were stabbed.

<s>[INST] Summarize this: Two men in a helicopter have saved a birthing southern right whale in Western Australia from an imminent shark attack- and luckily, one of the men on board was able to photograph the extraordinary sequence of events . On Wednesday, tourism operator Sean Blocksidge was flying on a helicopter with his friend, helicopter pilot Brett Campany, taking aerial photographs off the coast of Cowaramup Bay, south of the Margaret River in Western Australia. From a great height, they first spotted the calving whale - and almost immediately after, a predator shark heading straight for the helpless mammal in the shallows. 'As we flew by the Wilyabrup cliffs about 1500 feet in the air, Brett and I spotted something. It looked like a really big fish from that high up! On closer inspection, we realised that it was a Southern Right Whale giving birth,' Mr Blocksidge told Daily Mail Australia. Scroll down for video . A story in photographs: From 1500 feet, Sean Blocksidge and Brett Campany spotted what looked like 'a really big fish' (photographed from the helicopter, pictured bottom right) close to shore off the coast of Cowaramup Bay. The friends soon realised that they had found a southern right whale giving birth to her calf. Brett Campany dropped the helicopter down to herd the shark back out to deeper water and away from a calving southern right whale off the coast of Cowaramup Bay . 'We get more than 30,000 whales migrating along the west coast at peak season every year. We see whales all the time, you'll see at least one a day. 'So you get to understand whale behaviour. I'd seen a whale calving quite recently so I knew what was happening when I saw the whale on Wednesday. You could tell that she was giving birth because they come close to shore and have certain mannerisms.They come close to the water's surface and arch their backs.' It was then that the pair spotted the bronze whaler shark and with only seconds to react, took it upon themselves to prevent the inevitable tragedy. Whilst watching the pregnant whale in the shallows, Mr Campany spotted a four-metre shark (pictured) in the distance, heading straight for the whale . 'We could see a shark moving down the beach. You could tell, it was coming quite quickly. It was massive, about four metres long and heading straight for the southern right. 'We only had seconds to think about it. There was no time, but we had to do something.' 'I mean, I'm all for letting nature do it's thing. We wouldn't normally interfere at all but it would be too sad if we left the shark to attack the brand new calf right after the poor mother gave birth.' Mr Campany dropped the helicopter down and closed in on the shark, to chase it away from the vulnerable calving whale and towards deeper waters. Throughout the whole ordeal, Mr Blocksidge kept taking photographs - a courageous task considering his chopper door was open the entire time. 'It was pretty cool to see what the helicopter could do. We turned sideways at one point when we were directly over the shark. I'd left my door open while I took photographs to get a better shot, so I was pretty nervous when I was hanging sideways directly over the shark with nothing between us!' 'It all happened so quickly but I just tried to keep clicking to get some photos. The shark high-tailed it out of there very quickly, he got a pretty big fright, I think,' Mr Blocksidge said. Brett Campany dropped the helicopter down to herd the shark back out to deeper water and away from the calving southern right whale. Sean Blocksidge tried to take photographs - a courageous task, with his door open and the helicopter on its side while they hovered over the shark . 'We couldn't believe what was happening, things just kept popping up before our eyes, it didn't seem real!' said Mr Blocksidge. 'We were near Williaborough beach and landed on the sand to give the whale plenty of space, because we didn't want to disturb her. We didn't want to stress the poor whale while she gave birth, but we were keeping an eye on her to make sure she was okay. Mr Campany landed the helicopter on the sand once the shark had been herded away from the whale and out to deeper water. From a safe distance, the men both watched the whale in the shallows . 'A pod of about 20 dolphins arrived to circle the birthing whale, it was really quite amazing - like the call of nature. We decided to fly off before the whale gave birth because we knew she was safe. The dolphins made a ring around her to protect her. 'We had a laugh and said well, we can leave because we know the dolphins are here to manage the maternity ward for the night!' said Mr Blocksidge. 'It was just amazing - nature at work. It's something you never forget.' 'It was like nature's call!' Mr Blockside and Mr Campany were amazed when a pod of around 20 dolphins arrived, encircling the expectant mother whale to protect her. The men left, assured the whale was safe with the dolphins there to 'manage the maternity ward.' 'It was like nature's call!'

<s>[INST] Please summarize the following: San Francisco (CNN) -- Apple on Wednesday announced the latest version of the iPhone. The iPhone 5 looks similar to previous models but has a larger screen and is lighter and thinner than the iPhone 4S. The company says the larger screen will make it easier to check and send e-mails and to view Web pages with the phone in your hand. The phone also comes with a new, faster processor called the Apple A6, which connects to mobile carriers with a 4G LTE connection, making for speedier Internet browsing. "It just screams," said Apple marketing chief Phil Schiller, in introducing the device. The iPhone 5 starts at $200 with a two-year mobile contract and will be available on September 21 in the United States. Pre-orders for the device begin on Friday. The iPhone 5 is 18% thinner and 20% lighter than the current version, the iPhone 4S. It has a 4-inch screen, measured diagonally, compared to a 3.5-inch screen on previous versions of the phone. It is the same width as the iPhone 4S, but taller, and the iPhone 5 is made entirely of glass and aluminum. Those features are likely to be popular with consumers. Another, however, may cause some backlash. The new iPhone comes with a different-sized charging cord, meaning speakers and radios designed to work with the old iPhone cord won't function seamlessly with the new iPhone. The company did create an adapter, however, so that the old devices aren't useless. Apple calls this new cord "lightning," and says it is 80% smaller than the previous iPhone cord. During a press conference in San Francisco, Apple also announced an update to its mobile operating system, iOS 6, which accommodates the larger iPhone 5 screen. The new operating system adds another row of icons to the phone's home screen, includes a new, 3-D version of digital maps and has a feature called Passbook, which lets people pull up airline tickets or payment apps from the locked home screen. Apple also unveiled a new line of iPods, including an iPod nano with a 2.5-inch touchscreen. That device, which starts at $150, is able to pause live radio. And Apple updated its headphones, now called Earpods, with better audio quality and a new look. Read our live blog from the event here. For many tech fans, the fall Apple press event is the highlight of a season filled with gadget announcements and releases. Last week, Amazon unveiled its latest Kindle Fire tablets, and Nokia and Motorola announced new smartphones. HTC has an announcement scheduled for later in the month. The companies are rushing to get their products out in time for the holiday season, where they will battle it out for consumer dollars in an increasingly crowded mobile-device market. This is Apple's sixth iPhone model. Steve Jobs unveiled the first iPhone six years ago on a stage just one block away in the Moscone Center. Since then, the iPhone has taken off, selling about 244 million units around the world. According to research firm IDC, the iPhone and its iOS operating system make up 16.9% of the worldwide smartphone market, coming in behind all phones running the Android operating system, which account for 68.1% of the world's smartphones. The winning streak has carried over to Apple's stock price, which hit an all-time high of $683.29 a share last Friday. Some people weren't impressed with the new device, however. "Apple doesn't innovate anymore," one commenter wrote on CNN's live blog from the event. "They got where they are today by taking bold risks, but they are afraid to change anything that would affect their No. 1 product. Who could blame them?"

<s>[INST] Summarize the text and bring out the key points: By . Sam Creighton . A war hero praised for his bravery in Iraq died after being buried under an avalanche while on a skiing training exercise. Senior Aircraftman Paul Mahoney, 26, who had been one of the last British servicemen to leave Iraq, was taking part in a training trip in the German Alps in preparation for deployment in Afghanistan with 15 Squadron of the RAF Regiment. The exercise, named 'Snow Eagle' was designed to expose servicemen to hostile terrains and during one descent, SAC Mahoney and two of his comrades were engulfed by a snow slide. While the other two were rescued, SAC Mahoney was buried and, by the time he was dragged clear nine minutes later, was dead. Senior Aircraftman Paul Mahoney was praised for his service as a gunner in Basra during his six month tour in Iraq . After the incident, on February 4, 2010, a major investigation was launched and the leader of the expedition, Flight Sgt Stephen Henderson, was charged with manslaugher - although later cleared at a court martial. It was alleged Flt Sgt Henderson failed to comply with safety regulations and ignored avalanche warnings when he led the 23 serviceman down a slope. However, an inquest into SAC Mahoney's death, held at Warrington Coroners' Court yesterday, recorded a verdict of accidental death. On the morning of the tragedy, the inquest heard Flt Sgt Henderson, who was leading the trip along with four other qualified instructors, was warned about poor weather conditions and that a level three avalanche warning - out of a possible five levels - had been issued for the area. However, he evaluated the slopes and decided the expedition should go ahead. The group left the Grasgehren ski resort in Bavaria, Germany, with the plan of climbing the Reidberger Horn mountain and then skiing down to a hut where they would spend the night. SAC Mahoney had been in the RAF for two years at the time of his death . It was on the descent that the group heard a 'woomph' sound, indicating that a weak layer of snow had collapsed beneath the surface. However, while Flt Sgt Henderson sent some students back to the ridge, he concluded the snowpack was stable and the group could continue. Two instructors stayed at the top and the students descended at 20 metre intervals with everyone intending to meet at the bottom. The avalanche struck while the group was halfway down the slope. The inquest heard that the slide was caused by sun and wind conditions, although the earlier court martial was told that it could have been triggered by the serviceman skiing over the unstable service in too large groups. Many . of the 23 servicemen were either at the bottom or within their final . stages of descent when the 400 metres wide and 200 metres long . avalanche hit. Along with SAC Mahoney, SAC Shepherd and Cpl Murray were also caught up in the collapse. SAC . Shepherd was only buried up to his waist and managed for free himself and while Cpl Murray was completely covered apart from his hand, he was quickly pulled free. SAC Mahoney was 'completely buried' and it took nine minutes later to find him, by which point he was not breathing. His comrades tried to revive him and rescue helicopters were sent to the scene but SAC Mahoney was declared dead on the mountainside. Paul Mahoney's, centre, family said they knew 'how proud he was about being in the RAF regiment' SAC Mahoney was only 26 when he died in 2010, shortly before he was due to be deployed in Afghanistan . During Flt Sgt Henderson's court martial his legal team said that 'backcountry skiing' involved an element of risk-taking and that the he had viewed the slope as shallow and not avalanche prone. Chris . Hill, defence counsel, said: 'This is adventurous training and not a . leisure facility. The purpose was to make a journey and hopefully get to . the next hut,' he said, adding that 'rules are not to be adhered to . slavishly.' At . the end of the four-week court martial in July 2012, the six-member . board acquitted Flt Sgt Henderson. Two other servicemen were caught in the avalanche, but were pulled out in time. It was nine minutes before SAC Mahoney was dragged clear of the snow, by which point he had died . SAC Mahoney had driven armoured vehicles in Basra and was one of the last British servicemen to leave Iraq . At the time of his death, SAC Mahoney - who had joined the armed forces in 2008 - was praised as a 'brave and determined' gunner who had been one of the last British servicemen to leave Iraq. He had been driving Bulldog armoured vehicles on patrols in Basra. The RAF Regiment is the ground fighting force of the RAF, providing security for bases and carrying out patrol functions. In a statement released by his family at the time of his death they said: 'We wish to convey how proud we were of him and we knew how proud he was about being in the RAF Regiment. He was "one of the lads" who was always there for his mates.' Paying tribute to SAC Mahoney the RAF said: 'He kept us safe as he steered his armoured vehicle through the outskirts of Basrah. 'He lived life to the full and has been taken from us unexpectedly and far too early. 'Our thoughts are with his family and close friends at this difficult time. 'He will not be forgotten and his memory will live on in the hearts and minds of 15 Squadron RAF Regiment.' A full . service inquiry was also carried out in the aftermath of SAC Mahoney's . death by the Ministry of Defence which has since made eight . recommendations in relation to the Snow Eagle exercise and seven . recommendations in relation to the wider conduct of service training. The inquest was told that 11 of the recommendations had been fully implemented and a further four were underway. A Ministry of Defence spokesman told MailOnline: 'Our thoughts remain with SAC Mahoney's family and friends at this difficult time. 'A full Service Inquiry has been conducted, and all the recommendations from this have been or are in the process of being implemented, so that we can prevent something like this from ever happening again.'

The south-east of England was blanketed in fog this morning for the first time after days of hot weather. However, the sky is expected to clear later and temperatures could hit 25C in London and the south-east of England. Met Office forecaster Ruth Steele said: 'There is an area of quite extensive mist and fog which might be a bit slow to clear. 'By mid-day it should be clear and most places will be throughout the morning with some potential for showers later. 'There is still potential for temperatures between 22C and 24C.

<s>[INST] Summarize this: Looks like it's a bad time to be sexing up your publicly viewable video gaming. With debate swirling over treatment of women in gaming, Twitch, a service that lets users broadcast themselves playing games or watch others doing so, has banned "wearing no clothing or sexually suggestive clothing" in posts on the site. "Nerds are sexy, and you're all magnificent, beautiful creatures, but let's try and keep this about the games, shall we?" reads a section titled "Dress ... appropriately" in Twitch's Rules of Conduct, which were updated Tuesday. Boasting more than 55 million monthly visitors, Twitch was purchased by Amazon in August for a reported $970 million. The near billion-dollar price tag, combined with the fact that other tech heavyweights like Google were also pursuing a deal, highlights the massive popularity that video gaming has amassed as a spectator sport. Under the new rules, gamers can be suspended from Twitch for nudity or broadcasting themselves wearing items "including lingerie, swimsuits, pasties, and undergarments." While dealing with a serious issue, the rules maintain a playful tone. "You may have a great six-pack, but that's better shared on the beach during a 2-on-2 volleyball game blasting 'Playing with the Boys,'" read the rules, with a link to the iconic scene of that nature from the movie "Top Gun." "If it's unbearably hot where you are, and you happen to have your shirt off (gents) or a bikini top (ladies), then just crop the webcam to your face. If your lighting is hot, get fluorescent bulbs to reduce the heat. Xbox One Kinect doesn't zoom? Move it closer to you, or turn it off. There is always a workaround." While the post's wording goes out of its way to note the rules apply to both men and women, it comes at a time when female game developers, journalists and players have been targeted with death and rape threats, among other abuse, linked to the so-called GamerGate movement. Behind the furor over GamerGate . Ostensibly about ethics in video-game journalism, the movement quickly targeted "social justice warriors," most of them women, who questioned the portrayal of women in video games as well as the treatment of women in the community. Most recently, actress Felicia Day, known for the gaming-oriented Web series "The Guild," had her email and real-world address posted online less than an hour after a blog post in which she criticized GamerGate. Day had written that she feared retribution when she decided to share her views on the movement.

Katherine Jackson claimed AEG Live should have done a thorough background check on Murray. The Jackson family matriarch was seeking hundreds of millions of dollars in damages for herself and her son's three children. The company denied hiring Murray and said he had been picked by the singer as the doctor for his upcoming shows. The panel of six men and six women began deliberating on September 26, more than five months after the start of the trial that offered an unprecedented look into the superstar's private life. The case provided the closest look yet at Jackson's drug use and his battles against chronic pain and insomnia. It also took jurors behind the scenes in the rough and tumble world of negotiations with one of the world's most famous entertainers looking to solidify his legendary status after scandal interrupted his career. 'We reached a verdict that we understand that not everybody is going to agree with,' jury foreman Gregg Barden said after the decision was reached. Scroll down for video . Trouble: Dr Conrad Murray, who was already convicted of involuntary manslaughter for giving Jackson an overdose of the anesthetic, was the basis for the latest trial which was a lawsuit against the concert promoter . 'But the decision was reached after very careful consideration of five months of testimony, thousands of documents and of course the guidance of the court.' Witnesses said he saw the 'This Is It' concerts as a chance for personal redemption after being acquitted of child molestation. But as the opening date of the shows approached, associates testified that he had bouts of insecurity and agonized over his inability to sleep. They said he turned to the drug propofol and found Murray, who was willing to buy it in bulk and administer it to him on a nightly basis even though it is not meant to be used outside operating rooms. Saying their peace: Juror Gregg Barden spoke to the awaiting media after arriving at the not guilty verdict against AEG . All eyes on them: The group issued a joint statement saying that they knew not everyone would agree with them . Testimony at the civil trial showed that only Jackson and Murray knew he was taking the drug. In his closing argument, AEG Live attorney Marvin Putnam told jurors that the company would have pulled the plug on the shows if they knew he was using the anesthetic. 'AEG would have never agreed to finance this tour if they knew Mr. Jackson was playing Russian roulette in his bedroom every night,' Brian Panish, a lawyer for the Jackson family, countered that AEG Live was negligent by not looking far enough to find out what it needed to know about Murray. Major pull: At the time of his death Jackson was prepping for the 10-night 'This Is It' concert in London which was run by concert promoter AEG Live LLC, who the jury ruled was not negligent in hiring Murray . Those who live on: Michael's mother Katherine is now the trustee of his estate and cares for his children, including daughter Paris (seen together in January 2012) He claimed in his closing argument that the lure of riches turned the company and Murray into mercenaries who sacrificed the pop star's life in a quest to boost their own fortunes. Panish asked jurors: 'Do people do things they shouldn't do for money? People do it every day.' He said a $150,000-a-month contract to care for Jackson was a lifeline to help Murray climb out of his financial troubles, which included $500,000 in debt. AEG Live, meanwhile, had only one interest — launching a world tour for the King of Pop that would yield untold millions in profits, the lawyer said. AEG Live's lawyers framed the case as being about personal choice, saying Jackson made bad choices about the drug that killed him and the doctor who provided it. They said he was the architect of his own demise and no one else can be blamed. Putnam said Jackson insisted on hiring the cardiologist, despite objections from AEG Live. 'It was his money and he certainly wasn't going to take no for an answer,' the lawyer said. Putnam portrayed AEG Live and its executives as victims of deception by Jackson and Murray. He showed brief excerpts from the 'This Is It' documentary to show that Jackson appeared in top form just 12 hours before he died. Making the case: Brian Panish was hired by Jackson's family to argue that AEG should have done a background check on the doctor and found him to be unsuitable to treat the 'King of Pop' Legal minds: Panish, seen here talking with AEG's attorneys Kathryn Cahan and Marvin Putnam, ultimately won the case . Closing argument: Putnam told jurors that the company would have pulled the plug on the shows if they knew he was using the anesthetic . 'AEG Live did not have a crystal ball,' he said. 'Dr. Murray and Mr. Jackson fooled everyone. They want to blame AEG for something no one saw.' Murray was convicted in 2011 of involuntary manslaughter for causing Jackson's death and is due to be released in October after serving a two year jail sentence. Jurors heard testimony from more than 50 witnesses, including Jackson's mother and his eldest son, Prince, as well as days of testimony from AEG executives who were repeatedly asked about emails in which they discussed Jackson's missed rehearsals and described Murray's pay as a done deal. They also heard about Jackson's close relationship to many of his doctors, including Murray, who he first met in Las Vegas in 2007. Katherine Jackson called the case a search for the truth about the death of her son and the trial featured potentially embarrassing revelations for both sides. AEG's executives had their emails picked apart, revealing concerns that Jackson wouldn't be able to perform the shows as planned, that a lawyer at their parent company referred to Michael Jackson as 'the freak,' and that Jackson was derided even though the company had invested more than $30million in his shows. AEG Live, meanwhile, laid out Jackson's medical history, presenting testimony about his use of drugs, including the powerful painkiller Demerol, for pain stemming from an accident that occurred decades ago while he was filming a Pepsi commercial. Jackson had no trace of that drug in his system when he died. Legend lives on: Fans pay tribute to Jackson by imitating his signature moves outside the Los Angeles court . The lawyers called witnesses who recounted Jackson's use of propofol dating back to the 1990s. In 1997, two German doctors administered the anesthetic to help the singer sleep between shows in Munich. A few years later, Jackson requested the anesthetic from a dental anesthesiologist who refused, as did another doctor who testified that Jackson kept a box of propofol in his bedroom at Neverland Ranch. On the issue of possible damages, expert witnesses for the company said any estimate of Jackson's future earnings were speculative, and they showed the panel that the singer was deeply in debt and consistently spent more than he earned. In the verdict form, jurors were first asked to decide the central question of the case — whether AEG Live hired Murray to treat Jackson. During the trial, they heard evidence that AEG had drafted a contract that was signed by Murray. But there were no indications that it was signed by AEG Live or Jackson. Attorneys for the singer's mother argued that Jackson's signature was not necessary, but the company's attorneys said the contract required his consent to be binding. Jackson's mother and his three children are supported by his estate, which provides a comfortable lifestyle for them and erased hundreds of millions of dollars in debts by debuting new projects and releasing new music featuring the King of Pop.

Spy: John Bingham was an MI5 agent who tricked British fascists into revealing their allegiances in the Second World War . A Second World War intelligence agent who inspired fictional spy George Smiley 'hated everything' about how author John le Carré portrayed the secret services, it has been claimed. John Bingham, an MI5 agent, exposed Nazi sympathisers in Britain by convincing them he was a German double agent. After gaining the trust of undercover fascists, he convinced them to reveal secrets which were fed back to the intelligence services. Mr le Carré, whose works include The Spy Who Came In From The Cold and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, revealed in 1999 that Smiley was inspired by Bingham, who had been his boss at MI5. George Smiley features in eight of le Carré's novels and was played by Gary Oldman in the 2011 film adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy. The true extent of Mr Bingham's espionage was revealed just days ago when the National Archives declassified a cache of documents 25 years after his death. The files show how he was able to root out traitors among the aristocracy and intellectual elite, including worrying links between Nazi sympathisers and a Cabinet Minister. Mr Bingham was also passed plans for a jet aircraft and even an amphibious tank by people who believed they were helping the Germans. But the spy, who went on to become a celebrated author himself, turned on his former colleague and friend Mr le Carré and grew to detest what he wrote about the British intelligence services, it was claimed today. Portrayal: Mr Bingham inspired fictional spy George Smiley, pictured right played by Gary Oldman in the 2011 adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy . Acclaimed: George Smiley is a central character in Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy . Old colleagues: Mr le Carré, pictured above in 2008, worked under Mr Bingham in MI5 . Lord Lexden, a Conservative peer and historian, said that 'modest hero' Mr Bingham 'was not treated as respectfully as he deserved by his protégé John le Carré... he was hurt by the portrayal of his secret world in the novels'. In a letter published today by the Daily Telegraph, Lord Lexden wrote that Mr Bingham once said that Mr le Carré 'was my friend, but I deplore and hate everything he has done and said against the intelligence services'. The declassified files do not refer to Mr . Bingham directly, but reveal the activities of 'Jack King', which was . the spy's pseudonym. The declassified files do not name John Bingham directly, but refer to 'Jack King'. Although the intelligence services would never confirm the true identity of its agents, the moniker would fit with an old tradition for MI5 operatives to chose pseudonyms which sound similar to their real names. This was done to protect the agents in case somebody accidentally used their real name - which they could pretend had simply been misheard. Reports on the files published earlier in the week tell how, from 1942, Mr Bingham had direct contact with six men and women who believed he was working for the Gestapo. They in turn passed on information on 'probably hundreds' of Nazi sympathisers int he country. He was also able to gather information on British Union of Fascists founder Sir Oswald Mosley. Diaries of Mr Bingham's MI5 superiors speaking of plans to take key British fascist figures to court on the basis of the evidence gathered, but the agency appears to have changed its mind when it became obvious that the trial could not proceed without calling on Mr Bingham as a witness, blowing his cover. Mr Bingham, an impoverished Irish aristocrat also known as the 7th Baron Clanmorris, also worked as a reporter and an author, penning 17 novels himself. He died in 1988.

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? (CNN) -- If you have ever tried to grab a bargain that appears online, you'll know you have to be quick. The business of high frequency trading -- using algorithms and superfast computers to conduct trades in a fraction of a second -- is a supercharged version of this, with the potential to execute millions of buy and sell orders electronically each day through the myriad exchanges currently in existence. Advocates argue that high frequency trading reduces market volatility and lowers transaction costs for small investors, but others claim it is unfair on slower traders, and can lead to instability -- trading algorithms and high frequency trading were behind the "Flash Crash" of May 6 2010, when the Dow Jones briefly plummeted almost 1,000 points. Irrespective of how the popularity of high frequency trading changes in the future, this need for speed will continue to drive a technological arms race where the weapons of choice include new types of computer circuits hard-wired with dedicated trading algorithms; new tunnels blasted through mountains to ensure more direct optic fiber connections; new cables being laid in straighter paths across the Atlantic seabed; and even new networks of microwave towers to profit from the speed of electromagnetic signals through air. And as the search for an evolutionary edge continues, "genetic" trading programs will be created that develop specific mutant offspring in response to real-time changes in market conditions. Even long-term pension funds play the high frequency game, hence it involves us all -- whether we like it or not. There is one factor that limits speed: According to Einstein, nothing can travel faster than the speed of light. However this leaves ample opportunity for future increases in trading speed. Light can travel approximately one foot in a nanosecond (a billionth of a second) in free space, meaning that current processers, routers and switching devices have plenty of room for improvement. And just as faster predators in the animal kingdom catch more prey and will be less vulnerable to other predators, faster trading companies will emerge at the expense of slower ones. In parallel, a new form of ultrafast options market may emerge with second-scale contract times in order to hedge high frequency risk. However, there are two problems that make the future of high frequency trading of unique global concern, irrespective of how popular it becomes. The first is a scientific one: Financial markets represent the largest-ever sociotechnical system in existence, with a mix of state-of-the-art communications and computational power operating at speeds approaching the natural speed limit of light. Yet nobody, including Einstein, has ever produced a theory that predicts what might go wrong in an ultrafast global network of interconnected machines that carry out millions of operations in the blink of an eye -- or what can be done to prevent or manage it. This leads to the second problem. How can regulators and governments possibly decide how to manage this emerging ultrafast financial jungle if nobody yet fully understands it? My fellow researchers and I recently uncovered glimpses of what is already going wrong in the form of escalating patterns of "sub-second tsunamis." These tsunamis are huge spikes and dips in the price of an individual stock. Although the Flash Crash was fast, lasting only a few minutes, these sub-second tsunamis are over in the blink of an eye -- and there are thousands of them. A 10% daily change in a major stock would guarantee breaking news coverage, but these tsunamis typically send the price plummeting to almost zero. However they go unnoticed since the price quickly recovers as other algorithms jump in for the kill. Their existence reveals a remarkable difference between the human trading world above the typical human response time of one second, and the all-machine ecology of trading algorithms below one second. Just like cracks propagating in a structure prior to mechanical failure, these sub-second tsunamis escalated in the lead up to the 2008 financial meltdown. Most importantly, the stock showing highest proliferation are the banks that are now associated with the crisis. Yet nobody knew at the time. Indeed our research predicts a growing zoo of such tsunamis in the future, with each species having its own characteristic twist and turns. Governments need the financial equivalent of an air traffic control system in order to know how to manage this brave new world, and hence what rules (if any) to impose. This in turn will require a joint research program between trading houses, regulators and academics. However, instead of using conventional economics, the methodological approach should be built around complex adaptive systems and dynamical networks. Generative market models must be tested in real-time against high resolution data, to see if they can reproduce the observed price exchange dynamics down to the sub-second scale. Our own research predicts that these sub-second market movements will be neither completely unpredictable nor predictable, but will instead have pockets of predictability that come and go in particular ways. Estimates of the market share of different trading algorithms will enable real-time system management, while ensuring that the secrecy of individual trading entities remains intact. Without such a financial Manhattan Project, regulatory bodies will effectively be flying blind and may end up doing more harm than good. Read this: How to start your own currency .

<s>[INST] Summarize the text and bring out the key points: The Archbishop of Canterbury has criticised energy companies for imposing huge price rises that will hammer struggling families. Justin Welby said power giants had a ‘massive' moral duty beyond squeezing customers for maximum profit, and challenged the firms to justify their huge increases in bills. The Archbishop, himself a former oil executive, said he understood the anger over apparently ‘inexplicable' rises and called on the companies ‘to behave with generosity and not merely to maximise opportunity'. Sympathy: Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said he understood anger over 'inexplicable' rises . He hit out after British Gas announced a 9.2 per cent hike, despite parent company Centrica recording a £2.7 billion profit last year. Other suppliers are expected to follow suit. Speaking exclusively to The Mail on Sunday, Britain's most senior cleric said that rises which would add an average £123 a year to bills were ‘a huge moral issue' for energy firms. Archbishop Welby's comments will heap pressure on the Government to get tougher on the industry. Energy prices have become a major political issue, with Labour accusing the Government of failing to tackle ‘rip-off' companies, while Ministers have said consumers should switch to better deals and even wear jumpers to keep warm. The Archbishop called on energy companies to be ‘conscious of their social obligations' and said: ‘The impact on people, particularly on low incomes, is going to be really severe in this, and the companies have to justify fully what they are doing. ‘I do understand when people feel that this is inexplicable, and I can understand people being angry about it, because having spent years on a low income as a clergyman I know what it is like when your household budget is blown apart by a significant extra fuel bill and your anxiety levels become very high. That is the reality of it.' Price rise: Profits at British Gas rose 11 per cent last year . The issue of fuel prices has shot to the top of the political agenda since Labour leader Ed Miliband promised to freeze bills for 20 months if he won the next Election, a pledged branded a ‘con' by David Cameron. Shadow Energy Secretary Caroline Flint welcomed the Archbishop's comments, saying: ‘The chorus of voices telling this Government to act on spiralling energy bills is deafening.' Archbishop Welby said the energy companies had a moral obligation to set prices fairly. He said: ‘They have control because they sell something everyone has to buy. We have no choice about buying it. ‘With that amount of power comes huge responsibility to serve society. It is not like some other sectors of business where people can walk away from you if they don't want to buy your product and you are entitled to seek to maximise your profit. ‘The social licence to operate of the energy companies is something they have to take very, very seriously indeed.' Archbishop Welby added that he was concerned that fuel poverty was ‘a very severe issue... because real incomes are flat or declining and the cost of energy has gone up. It ties in with the food banks and the debt. They are all part of the reality of life for many people today.' ‘The chorus of voices telling this Government to act on spiralling energy bills is deafening.' -Shadow Energy Secretary Caroline Flint . Fuel poverty is defined as when ten per cent or more of a household's disposable income is spent on adequate heating. Following the Archbishop's comments, The Mail on Sunday discovered that The Church of England itself invests heavily in energy firms. Accounts show the Church owns more than £7 million worth of shares in Centrica and about £6 million in SSE. The Church says it uses its investments for ‘active engagement' with companies and their boards to exert a positive influence. British Gas's price rise announced last week follows an 8.2 per cent increase by SSE. Other ‘Big Six' suppliers are likely to follow. The hike dismayed campaigners, who said it was a ‘big, nasty' shock for families who would have to choose between eating and heating this winter. But the suppliers all say they have to put up bills in the face of rising costs. SSE summed up the position, saying: ‘We regret having to put our prices, but the cost of supplying energy is going up: buying it, delivering it to homes and the cost of government taxes all cost more than last year and are outside our direct control.' Archbishop Welby, who worked for French firm Elf Aquitaine and London-based Enterprise Oil before becoming a vicar in Coventry, said he did not have enough evidence to know if the suppliers were too quick to pass on wholesale rises, but slow to pass on price falls. Profits at British Gas rose 11 per cent last year to £606 million, and managing director Chris Weston is expected to net £2 million in share bonuses this year on top of a £595,000 salary. Archbishop Welby pays the energy bills for his Lambeth Palace flat out of his annual £74,000 stipend, but most clergy receive less than £25,000 a year. 'Wrong place': Energy minister Greg Barker said some planners have been 'too insensitive' 'Cannot be at any place at any price': Minister Greg Barker . Wind farms have scarred the British landscape and turned the public against the renewable energy agenda, an Energy Minister has conceded. Greg Barker made the admission as he promised that future projects would be located off-shore. ‘We put certain projects in the wrong place,' the Energy and Climate Change Minister said. ‘Some planners have been too insensitive to the impact on the landscape and it has turned public opinion against the wider renewable agenda. We are very clear about the need to limit the impact on the countryside and landscape. It is quite clear the expansion of the on-shore wind rush is over.' Mr Barker's comments come amid growing political tension over rising household energy bills and a week after it was revealed that a record number of on-shore wind farms have been approved for construction this year. Between January and August, 188 were granted planning permission – a 49 per cent increase on the same period in 2012. As energy companies continue to lodge applications to take advantage of generous green subsidies, Mr Barker said Britain was on course to meet a target that 20 per cent of electricity must come from sustainable sources by 2020. But the Minister added that he would write to every council, warning they must ban turbines from areas of outstanding natural beauty. He said: ‘There's enough wind projects in the system now so we don't need to see any more on-shore expansion. The big area for expansion is off-shore, where there is scope for larger projects. ‘With those projects in the system or under consideration in the planning process at the moment, it means we have enough to get to our 2020 targets. ‘But it cannot be at any place and at any price.'

The Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge says that the bronze sculptures, known as the Rothschild Bronzes and dating from the 1500s, were probably created just after the famed artist's David and just before he painted the ceiling of the Vatican's Sistine Chapel. The museum and researchers at the University of Cambridge say they have "compelling evidence" that the works, attributed to a Dutch sculptor, are actually from Michelangelo. If so, they are the only surviving Michelangelo bronzes in the world, says the museum. The key clue that the unsigned bronzes were actually done by Michelangelo came from one of the master's apprentices. Last year, Paul Joannides, a Cambridge art history professor, noted that a Michelangelo student had made a study of several Michelangelo sketches for works believed lost. One of the drawings in the study, which dates from 1508, matched one of the bronzes. Further research indicated they were in Michelangelo's style, and X-rays roughly confirmed the era of their creation. "Even a peroneal tendon is visible, as is the transverse arch of the foot," wrote University of Warwick anatomist Peter Abrahams, according to the UK Guardian. Victoria Avery, keeper of applied arts at the Fitzwilliam Museum, described the project to the Guardian as "a Renaissance whodunit." She says that the museum was careful in assembling the evidence and that the works are masterpieces. "The modeling is superb, they are so powerful and so compelling, so whoever made them had to be superb," she said. The works -- and some of the evidence -- will be on display at the Fitzwilliam from Tuesday through August 9. Though the museum is confident of the works' origins, research is continuing, and results will be presented at a conference in early July.

None of Lowrey's roommates actually saw the alleged crime. But Mitchell maintains there was at least one witness. And they saw it on their computer monitor. Murdered?

'Somebody saw the gun discharge': Police and Lowrey say there was an active chat window open on the worldwide video site Omegle.com, but the witness could be anyone, anywhere in the world . ‘Somebody saw the gun discharge,' he testified in a Henderson court on Monday. ‘There was an active chat going on.' Lowrey told police Pincombe's death was just the unfortunate outcome of a game gone terribly wrong. He . told detectives he and Pincombe were chatting with a girl who said she . was from Norway.

He claims he left the weapon with Pincombe and then went to the bathroom. When he returned, he says she asked him to point it at her head, presumably as a joke. ‘Without her asking, he decided he would pull the trigger,' Mitchell told the court of Justice of the Peace Rodney Burr. While Lowrey claims he still thought the gun wasn't loaded, investigators think he likely took it with him to the bathroom where he inserted the magazine.

<s>[INST] Please summarize the following: (CNN) -- From the scorched corn fields of Kansas, to the storm-lashed hills of Nicaragua, an increasingly volatile climate is posing ever greater challenges for farmers around the world. But opportunity is arising from crisis, through next-generation climate analysis tools that could make agriculture - the world's largest industry - vastly more efficient and profitable. The Climate Corporation, founded by two ex-Google engineers, is dragging a famously technophobic industry into the digital era. Through exhaustive data modeling and an elite pool of climate and agriculture analysts, the Corporation is seeking to take guesswork out of the field. "The increasing uncertainty in agriculture, with the changing patterns of weather we are seeing, is making it difficult for farmers to grow successful crops consistently," says CEO David Friedberg. "The tools we provide help farmers make smarter decisions based on analytical techniques, rather than intuition." Data revolution . Friedberg sees "huge opportunities" to revolutionize a vast industry that employs over one billion people and occupies almost half the planet's total land, but has not adapted to the possibilities of data, despite its vulnerability to climate change. The Climate Corporation's model produces hyper-local climate forecasts for individual farms, using satellite imaging, growth modeling and simulations. This is supported by decades of data, much of it from government sources, covering crop performance, soil properties, moisture levels and weather. The free "Basic" platform allows farmers to monitor their land and crops, while the "Climate Pro" platform includes a suite of features such as to optimize use of nitrogen fertilizer, control pests, and plan perfect harvests. "Fertilizer is the number one expense for farmers and they are basically throwing away money," says Friedberg. "We can help farmers decide how much fertilizer to put in the field at what point in the season, reducing what goes into the atmosphere and waterways, so that 100% goes to plants to deliver food." While Friedberg is a strict vegetarian and keen to support environmental protection, his priority is to convince farmers with an economic argument. "I don't see collective action on climate change in agriculture. We need to create commercial incentives to change behavior, that's where we can be successful." The company estimate they can make $20 billion in efficiency savings in the U.S. by applying their data models, and increase corn field yields by 30% an acre. "Our initial results show a 10-20% increase in yield," said Tim Malterer, a Minnesota farmer that uses the software. More with less . With the UN's agriculture body claiming that the food supply needs to increase 70% by 2050 to meet the needs of a growing population, without cultivating new farmland, there is an imperative for the industry to do more with less. The challenge is daunting but the Corporation's ambitions are on a global scale. Having been recently acquired by Monsanto in a $1 billion deal -- which Friedberg claims has not altered its work -- the group has vast resources. Its technology covers 50 million acres in the U.S., including a third of total land for corn and soybean, serving thousands of farmers. This figure is growing rapidly, and its platforms will be rolled out internationally from 2015. That level of adoption would enable dramatic changes in the industry. Friedberg would like to see farmers choosing different crops to suit the climate data -- such as switching from wheat to corn in Canada as the weather warms -- and planning five-season cycles that use a better understanding of the changing properties of soil. Optimal performance . The opportunities for data in agriculture are also shown by Edyn, a Californian startup that emerged from one of the state's worst ever droughts. "Around the world, water stress has been one of first impacts of climate change on agriculture," says founder Jason Aramburu. "But most farmers still haven't adopted water saving techniques." With award-winning designer Yves Behar, Edyn produced a multi-faceted sensor that allows growers to micro-manage their plots, providing constant readings on moisture level, with a connected water valve that keeps the level optimal. It also gives readings of light, temperature, humidity and fertility so that even inexperienced users can sustain high performance yields. The device, which more than trebled its crowdfunding goal, is initially targeted at smaller growers. But Aramburu wants to build immense data sets from environmental input, which would scale to the needs of high volume food production. The sensor is undergoing trials with major farm operators. Aramburu is confident about the integration of data, but believes the industry must change now to protect livelihoods and the environment. "It's a question of when, not if," he says. "This is as big an opportunity as the Internet was, in one of the last big industries that has not adopted big data. "If we do nothing, more farmers will have to leave their land over the next decades...which means creating new farmland, which would have a dramatic environmental impact." Data modeling in agriculture has great potential, believes Mckenzie Funk, author of "Windfall," an investigation of how businesses are adapting to climate change and in some cases seeking to exacerbate it. "Hyper local data can't hurt macro farming, although it's still early for the science and we may not see the full effects for five or 10 years," says Funk. "If efficiencies deliver profits that will be a major incentive for change." Funk adds that improving efficiency of existing farmland would have less negative effects than cultivating new land, and hopes the concept is expanded. "I don't think there's a problem with people making money from climate change. My only concern is whether the technology would be expanded to farmers everywhere, whether they can afford it in places like the Sahara, otherwise the effects (of climate change) will continue to get worse." With the right information, even the most extreme conditions can be profitable. Read this: Tinder for business: Big data matchmaking transforms recruitment .

<s>[INST] Please summarize the following: (CNN) -- Designer and TV host Nate Berkus is a member of the American Red Cross Celebrity Cabinet, which helps to highlight the organization's initiatives and response efforts. Founded in 1881, the American Red Cross is part of a worldwide movement that offers humanitarian care to victims of war and natural disasters. Berkus recently spoke with CNN's Allie Torgan about his personal connection to the Red Cross and how he is giving back. Below are excerpts from that interview. Allie Torgan: Why are you involved with the Red Cross? Nate Berkus: I have a very personal connection to the Red Cross because when I survived the tsunami -- the Indian Ocean tsunami, which was seven years ago now -- the Swiss Red Cross was the first sign of help that I saw with my own eyes. The sad part for me was that my partner, who I was traveling with to a tiny surfing village in Sri Lanka, didn't survive ... like many, many other people. And it was really an eye-opening experience for me ... and a soul-opening experience for me because I think we really don't know who we are until we don't have the resources that we need. Torgan: How did that experience affect you? Berkus: For me, having survived a natural disaster of that magnitude, there are things that happen that you don't even think about. Sometimes you just need a pair of flip-flops so that your feet aren't cut as you're walking around in the debris. Sometimes you need the equivalent of $5 in foreign currency to make a phone call to tell the people that love you you're OK or that somebody you love is not OK. And sometimes you need somebody just to give you a pencil and a piece of paper so that you can write down important details ... things that are flying through your mind like your passport number. I went through a very long period of grief and also sort of re-acclimating myself to what the reality of my life was. Torgan: What is your role as a member of the Celebrity Cabinet? Berkus: The main goal for me is to raise awareness of what the Red Cross does. I think especially at this time of the year, we all have so many holiday traditions. ... And if one of those traditions as families could be to volunteer or donate blood to the Red Cross as part of everything that we take for granted in this season, it would be really amazing. That kind of thinking is what being on the Celebrity Cabinet is all about. And obviously with the visibility that I'm lucky enough to have -- having a daily talk show and being able to meet people all across the country -- it's a way for me to give back to an organization that gave me something when I didn't have anything. Torgan: Why are you involved in the CNN Heroes campaign? Berkus: I think the Heroes campaign is really great because it highlights everyday people that we relate to, and it brings them to a place where they're getting recognition. But even as you're watching, you know that the recognition is not what they are after. What they're after was the deed that they chose to do. There's so much on TV ... so much passive, yucky stuff that just fills our brain with things that don't inspire us at all. And to watch somebody doing something for somebody else -- completely selflessly, having no idea that they would be chosen by CNN to be a Hero -- is something that's worthwhile for everyone to watch.

The Federal Reserve Bank of New York may have known as early as August 2007 that the setting of global benchmark interest rates was flawed. Following an inquiry with British banking group Barclays Plc in the spring of 2008, it shared proposals for reform of the system with British authorities. The role of the Fed is likely to raise questions about whether it and other authorities took enough action to address concerns they had about the way Libor rates were set, or whether their struggle to keep the banking system afloat through the financial crisis meant the issue took a backseat. A New York Fed spokesperson said in a . statement that 'in the context of our market monitoring following the . onset of the financial crisis in late 2007, involving thousands of calls . and emails with market participants over a period of many months, we . received occasional anecdotal reports from Barclays of problems with . Libor.' 'In the spring of . 2008, following the failure of Bear Stearns and shortly before the first . media report on the subject, we made further inquiry of Barclays as to . how Libor submissions were being conducted. We subsequently shared our . analysis and suggestions for reform of Libor with the relevant . authorities in the UK.' The . Fed statement did not provide the precise timing of the communication . with the British authorities. Bear Stearns collapsed in early March 2008 . and was then acquired by JPMorgan. Meanwhile, . legislators on Capitol Hill have signaled they are interested in . learning more about what Fed officials knew with regards to allegations . of Libor manipulation. On July 9, Represenative Randy Neugebauer, chairman of a subcommittee of the House Financial Services Committee, sent a letter to the New York Fed asking for transcripts of any 'communications with Barclays regarding the setting of interbank offered rates from August 2007 to November 2008.' In the letter, a copy of which was reviewed by Reuters, the Texas Republican asked New York Fed President William Dudley to provide the transcripts by Friday. Tim Johnson, who chairs the Senate Banking Committee, said on Tuesday he was concerned by the allegations of the potential 'widespread manipulation' of Libor and had directed his staff to schedule briefings on the issue. Dependent: The rates set by Libor are an integral part of the world financial system, including the New York Stock Exchange (pictured), and are used to price some $550trillion in loans, securities and derivatives . Johnson also said the committee planned to ask Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner and Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke about the allegations at hearings later this month. Barclays last month agreed to pay $453million to British and U.S. authorities to settle allegations that it manipulated Libor, a series of rates set daily by a group of international banks in London across various currencies. The rates are an integral part of the world financial system and have an impact on borrowing costs for many people and companies as they are used to price some $550trillion in loans, securities and derivatives. By manipulating Libor, banks could have made profits or avoided losses by wagering on the direction of interest rates. During the enormous liquidity problems in the financial crisis they could, by reporting lower than actual borrowing costs, have signaled that they were in better financial health than they really were. Powerful player: Timothy Geithner served as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve before he was promoted to his current position as the Secretary of the Treasury . So far, the scandal has been more of a British affair, prompting the resignation of Barclays top three executives, condemnation from the British government amid a public outcry, and questions about the lack of oversight from British regulators. The Bank of England's Deputy Governor Paul Tucker on Monday even had to deny suggestions that government ministers had pressured him to encourage banks to manipulate Libor. But the deepening investigation by . regulators in Britain, the United States, and other countries is . expected to uncover problems well beyond Barclays and British banks. More . than a dozen banks are being investigated for their roles in setting . Libor, including Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase & Co, Deutsche Bank, HSBC . Holdings Plc, UBS and Royal Bank of Scotland.. Regulators, . including the New York Fed, had a responsibility 'to force greater . integrity and cooperation,' and it had clearly reviewed the situation . and had the resources to investigate, said Andrew Verstein, an associate . research scholar at Yale University, who has written about Libor. 'Obviously they considered this to be within their orbit.' Many of the requests for improper Libor submissions came from traders in New York. As . one of the world's most powerful regulators, the New York Fed has the . power to 'jawbone' banks to force them to make tough decisions, said . Oliver Ireland, former associate general counsel at the Federal Reserve . in Washington and now a lawyer at Washington law firm Morrison & . Foerster. Still, he said by the autumn of 2008, the New York Fed's focus was locked on the impact of the meltdown of Lehman Brothers and AIG as it sought to prevent a global economic disaster. Barclays said in documents released last Tuesday that it first contacted Fed officials to discuss Libor on August 28, 2007, at a time when credit problems arising from the U.S. housing bust were beginning to mount. It communicated with the Fed twice that day. Between then and October 2008, it communicated another 10 times with the U.S. central bank about Libor submissions, including Libor-related problems during the financial crisis, according to the documents. In its document listing those meetings as well as ones with British authorities, Barclays said: 'We believe that this chronology shows clearly that our people repeatedly raised with regulators concerns arising from the impact of the credit crisis on LIBOR setting over an extended period.' As a bank doing business in the United States, Barclays U.S. operations would have come under the Fed's purview. This would have been even more the case after it acquired the investment banking and trading operations of the bankrupt Lehman Brothers in September 2008. Under fire: Barclays has had billions wiped off its shares since it was rocked by the Libor-fixing allegations . Officials with the New York Fed talked to authorities in Britain about problems with the calculation of Libor and also heard from market participants about whether an alternative could be found for Libor, people familiar with the situation said. In early 2008, questions about whether Libor reflected banks' true borrowing costs became more public. The Bank for International Settlements published a paper raising the issue in March of that year, and an April 16 story in the Wall Street Journal cast doubts on whether banks were reporting accurate rates. Barclays said it met with Fed officials twice in March-April 2008 to discuss Libor. According to the calendar of then New York Fed President, Timothy Geithner, who is now U.S. Treasury Secretary, it even held a 'Fixing LIBOR' meeting between 2.30-3.00pm on April 28, 2008. At least eight senior Fed staffers were invited. It is unclear precisely what was discussed at this meeting or who attended. Among those invited, along with Geithner, was William Dudley, who was then head of the Markets Group at the New York Fed and who succeeded Geithner as its president in January 2009. Also invited was James McAndrews, a Fed economist who published a report three months later that questioned whether Libor was manipulated. Investigation: Now the inquiry is coming stateside as authorities are looking to see what the timeline of warnings was regarding the Federal Reserve's suspicions about Libor problems . 'A problem of focusing on the Libor is . that the banks in the Libor panel are suspected to under-report the . borrowing costs during the period of recent credit crunch,' said that . report in July 2008 that examined whether a government liquidity . facility was helping ease pressure in the interbank lending market. When . asked for comment, McAndrews directed questions to a New York Fed . spokeswoman. Dudley could not be immediately reached for comment. To . be sure, the Fed's reports have sometimes been inconclusive. One from . last month - only shortly before the Barclays settlement was announced - . found that 'while misreporting by Libor-panel banks would cause Libor . to deviate from other funding measures, our results do not indicate . whether or not such misreporting may have occurred.' Questioning: The former head of Barclays Bob Diamond has been summoned to Parliament over his knowledge of his bank's role in fixing the rates . However, a 2010 draft of a related paper had said that banks appeared to be paying higher rates to borrow from other banks during the financial crisis compared with the levels they reported. One step the New York Fed could have taken in 2008 when questions initially were raised was to find a way to get its staff embedded in the Libor calculation process, Yale's Verstein said. There, they could use the Fedwire Funds Service - an electronic system through which banks settle interbank loans between one another - as a backstop to measure whether banks were accurately reporting borrowing costs. Then after the financial crisis had passed, regulators could have helped 'urge on a newer and better system,' he said. The New York Fed was not part of the Barclays settlement, which was the first major resolution in the Libor probe. The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, the U.S. Department of Justice, and the Financial Services Authority in Britain, settled with Barclays. The scandal has thrown into sharp relief a potential regulatory gap: No single regulator appears to have had ultimate responsibility for making sure rates banks submitted were honest. On Monday, the Bank of England's Tucker called the issue of banks improperly submitting rates a 'cesspit.' In documents released with the Barclays settlement, the CFTC said Barclays traders on a New York derivatives desk asked another Barclays desk in London to manipulate Libor to benefit trading positions. 'For Monday we are very long 3m (three-month) cash here in NY and would like the setting to be set as low as possible,' a New York trader emailed in 2006 to a person responsible for setting Barclays rates. Darrell Duffie, a Stanford University finance professor who has followed the Libor issue for several years, said that he believed regulators were 'on the case reasonably quickly' after questions were raised in 2008. 'It appears that some regulators, at least at the New York Fed, indeed knew there was a problem at that time. New York Fed staff have subsequently presented some very good research on the likely level of distortions in Libor reporting,' Duffie said. 'I am surprised, however, that the various regulators in the U.S. and UK took this long to identify and act on the misbehavior.' [/INST] Questions over whether Fed did enough over Libor concerns .

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? Rome, Italy (CNN) -- Somewhere in the world, a child dies of hunger every five seconds -- even though the planet has more than enough food for all. U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon laid out this sobering statistic as he kicked off a three-day summit on world food security Monday in Rome. "Today, more than 1 billion people are hungry," he told the assembled leaders. Six million children die of hunger every year -- 17,000 every day, he said. The summit opened with the leaders adopting a declaration to renew their commitment to eradicating hunger. They promised to do so by promoting investment, reversing the decline in funding for agriculture and tackling the effect of global warming on food security. Urgent action is critical, Ban said. In 2050, the world will need to feed 2 billion more mouths -- 9.1 billion in all. The steps Ban proposed included providing farmers with seeds and land and offering them access to better markets and fairer trade. "These small-holder farmers are the heart and soul of food security and poverty reduction," he said. "Our job is not just to feed the hungry but to empower the hungry to feed themselves." The summit came under criticism even before it began, with some aid groups skeptical that it would accomplish much. The United Nations hopes that donors will go beyond affirming their support to end hunger and fulfill a promise they made during a Group of Eight meeting in July to increase food aid significantly. Though more than 60 world leaders are at the summit, all but one of the G-8 leaders were absent. Italian Prime Minister Silvio Belusconi is hosting the gathering. The United States sent the head of the U.S. Agency for International Development, and Britain sent two ministers. During his speech, Ban also tied the global warming crisis to hunger eradication. The melting of Himalayan glaciers will affect the livelihood of 300 million people in China and up to 1 billion throughout Asia, he said. And African farmers might see harvests drop by 50 percent by 2020. The United Nations has scheduled a climate summit next month in Copenhagen, Denmark. "There can be no food security without climate security," Ban said. "They must produce results. "The world is impatient for us to make a difference. I, too, am impatient. And I am committed." The United Nations also seeks commitment from the public, making an online appeal for individual donations to fight hunger. The U.N. World Food Program's "Billion for a Billion" campaign aims to reach 1 billion individuals. "If a billion Internet users donate a dollar or a euro a week, we can literally transform the lives of a billion hungry people across the world," said Josette Sheeran, the World Food Program's executive director. Small donations can make a big difference, Sheeran said. "Year in, year out, governments have supported WFP in its mission to feed the world's hungriest people, but they cannot be expected to do it alone," Sheeran said. "It's time for members of the public to act." [/INST] More than 1 billion hungry, U.N. official says at summit for world food security .

The fighting started Friday after ISIS militants launched a coordinated assault from different direction around the city, according to Faleh al-Issawi, deputy head of the provincial council. The battle is taking place about 1,000 feet from the complex that houses the local government and security headquarters. "If the government complex falls, it would mean the fall of the whole province," Al-Issawi told CNN. The bodies of 23 tribesmen and 12 ISIS militants were found after Friday's fighting, Al-Issawi said. The police chief of al-Habaniya, outside Ramadi, and three of his guards were killed during Friday's fighting, according to Al-Issawi. Most of the Sunni-dominated province and some parts of Ramadi have been under the control of ISIS, and the militants have been making recent advances despite coalition airstrikes targeting them. The United States conducted two airstrikes near Ramadi on Friday, according to U.S. Central Command.

An elderly hospital consultant who allegedly fell asleep in an operating theatre during an emergency caesarian has been allowed to return to work. Senior anaesthetist Michael Cowen's behaviour was investigated after the operating surgeon claimed he nodded off during surgery. Hospital bosses confirmed today that an inquiry had been held but decided that the woman patient had not been put at risk by the consultant, who is understood to be aged in his 80s. Nodding off: Senior anaesthetist Michael Cowen allegedly fell asleep during an emergency caesarian but has been allowed back to work . A hospital source, who asked not to be identified, said of Mr Cowen: 'His head was slumped on his chest and he was apparently fast asleep. He didn't even wake up when the surgeon asked him to adjust the anaesthesia. 'The surgeon was furious apparently. It happened towards the end of the operation, when the surgeon instructed Mr Cowen to do something with the anesthetic - to adjust the mixture or something similar. 'Mr Cowen did not reply and when everybody looked at him he was sitting in his chair with his head slumped forward onto his chest - sound asleep. 'The surgeon said something else and Mr Cowen still didn't wake up. In the end the surgeon had to do whatever it was himself.' Two midwives and the surgeon involved made an official complaint to hospital chiefs after the incident earlier this year at Milton Keynes General Hospital. The source added: 'The patient's partner was in the theatre, sitting near her head. He saw what happened and was a bit shaken. But afterwards he was so thrilled about being a new dad and so relieved the baby was alright, that he didn't want to complain.' Abroad: Mr Cowen, who was unavailable for comment at his home today, will not be barred from returning to the hospital where the incident allegedly happened . Mr Cowen, who qualified as a doctor in 1965 and registered as an anaesthetist 12 years ago, was suspended for nine months on full pay while the investigation took place. He lives in Milton Keynes, Bucks. This month he was allowed to return to work at the Milton Keynes hospital. He is also continuing his work as a private consultant at the nearby BMI Saxon Clinic. Milton Keynes General Hospital's medical director, Martin Wetherill, said today: 'A concern was raised about an anaesthetist allegedly falling asleep during a caesarean section procedure. 'A full investigation into the events was conducted. 'The patient involved was not put at risk during the procedure and no concerns were raised by the patient or relatives in regard to the care they received.' The unnamed source said: 'People have decided to speak out because of the safety aspect. How can the hospital say there was no risk to the patient when the anesthetist falls asleep?' Mr Wetherill added that no other claims had been made against Mr Cowen. A spokesman for the General Medical Council, which regulates anaesthetists and requires all practitioners to register with it, declined to comment on the case. The GMC website shows that no referral has been made to it regarding Mr Cowen, who was unavailable for comment and currently on leave doing charity work in Pakistan.

European Parliament president Martin Schulz was at the May 9 meeting . Seventy-six Eurocrats spent part of a top-level meeting deciding what to name a corridor - and even failed to reach a decision, it has emerged. This was even though a name had already been proposed and just needed signing off. In a shocking example of Brussels wasteful bureaucracy, the decision over the naming of one of the corridors in the Altiero Spinelli building had to be referred to a committee. Critics have branded it another example of how 'detached from reality' Eurocrats are. The request had been made to name the corridor 'The Baltic Way', after a peaceful 1989 mass protest against Soviet Rule, minutes of the May 9 meeting showed. European Parliament president Martin Schulz was even present at the Bureau meeting. But bungling officials could not come to a conclusion and passed the issue on to a committee who have been told to report back. Tory MP Philip Davies said the Eurocrats were 'detached from reality'. Head of the UK Independence Party Nigel Farage told The Sun: 'This is straight out of TV's Yes, Prime Minister. It's about fighting over support of a couple of Baltic MEPs.' In June it was revealed how it cost nearly half a million pounds to send five Eurocrats to the Earth Summit in Rio. The European Commission said it cost £475,000 to send officials, including their president José Manuel Barroso, along with an entourage of over 60 to the Rio+20 conference. The high financial costs were revealed in an answer to a parliamentary question submitted by London Conservative MEP Marina Yannakoudakis. Mrs Yannakoudakis, who is a member of the European Parliament's environment committee, condemned the decision to send such a large delegation. She said: 'The Rio+20 Summit may address important issues, but the EU needs to be mindful of the costs of sending so many officials halfway across the world. The Altiero Spinelli building in Brussels in which Eurocrats were asked to name a corridor, however, they failed to come up with a solution and referred the matter to a committee and asked for a report back . 'At a time of austerity, we must ask ourselves was it really necessary to send five European Commissioners and their entourages to Rio. Saving the planet shouldn't cost the earth.' Earlier this year it was also revealed that Baroness Ashton, the EU's foreign policy chief, was among one of the Eurocrats eligible for the use of private jets to fly them to meetings around the world. Jose Manuel Barroso, president of the European Commission, and Herman van Rompuy, president of the European Council, are among other dignitaries who will benefit from the agreement with Belgian firm Abelag. At a cost of £10million for the next four years, they are able to use a choice of aircraft, including the Falcon 7X jet and Boeing 737, when they travel abroad for EU business. Peaceful demonstration: The Baltic Way's human chain . The Baltic Way - which has also come to be known as the Baltic Chain or Chain of Freedom - was a peaceful political demonstration that took place on August 23, 1989. An estimated two million people across Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania - which at the time were part of the Soviet Union - joined their hands to form a human chain more than 370 miles long. It marked the 50th anniversary of the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact between the USSR and Nazi Germany, which split up Eastern Europe and led to the occupation of the Baltic states in 1940. The protest, organised by Baltic pro-independence movements, was designed to bring the issue of independence to global attention. The event presented an opportunity for the Baltic activists to claim that the Soviet occupation was illegal.

Bravery: Newsreader Carolyn Brown is going under the knife next month to donate a kidney to her husband of 18 months Bruce Connell . Newsreader Carolyn Brown is to donate a kidney to her new husband, she revealed yesterday. The BBC Radio 4 stalwart will go under the knife next month. Her husband Bruce Connell has been on medication since his own kidneys began to deteriorate more than eight years ago. He praised the bravery of his wife and other donors in selflessly ‘putting their life on the line' by volunteering for major surgery to help others. Mrs Brown, 57, joked: ‘We've only been married 18 months. I thought he was marrying me because of my cosy little cottage in the country, it turns out he was after my spare parts.' The pair met six years ago and married in summer 2011, just a few months before Mr Connell learned he needed a kidney transplant. He said his kidneys had been in ‘slow decline' since he had a stroke eight years ago and last year he was told they had deteriorated so much that he would need regular dialysis if a transplant donor was not found. Mrs Brown, a Radio 4 newsreader and continuity announcer since 1991, said she had no hesitation over becoming his donor. She said on Radio 4's Woman's Hour: ‘I've always felt quite ambivalent about donor cards, one of those people who thinks it's something I ought to do but never quite got around to it. 'I knew very little about dialysis.

<s>[INST] Summarize the text and bring out the key points: (CNN) -- There are seemingly millions of smartphone apps out there designed to make traveling easier, but not all of them are very good. Every company seems to think that it needs an app to be cool, but not every app is worth the effort. Here are some of the apps that I find to be most helpful while on the road: . FlightAware . I'm one of those guys who always thinks that more information is better, and that's why I like FlightAware. You can see exactly where your flight (or any other flight) is at the moment. I've used the FlightAware website for years to see near real-time flight tracking, and now there's an app as well. Were you told your airplane is coming from Wichita, but it's still not there and you should be boarding? Go to FlightAware to see where the airplane is right now. FlightAware is hardly the only one in this space. Other frequent fliers swear by FlightTrack Pro, for example. GateGuru . When I was in Atlanta recently, my wife was looking for something before our next flight. Trying to find the right store in an airport the size of Hartsfield-Jackson is a mind-numbing experience. GateGuru, however, gives the rundown on which stores and restaurants are in each terminal and it pulls in reviews as well. If you're in an airport looking for a particular product or service, this will make your task much easier. Hotel Tonight . Have you ever been somewhere and realized you needed a room for the night? Maybe your flight was canceled or perhaps your meetings ran long. This company negotiates deals with hotels for last-minute rooms in many big cities. Within seconds, you can have the room reserved for a low rate. Taxi Magic . If you don't know a city well, the taxi scene can be confusing. Where is the best place to hail a cab? How much should you pay? Taxi Magic makes it a lot easier. If there's a participating cab company in your city, Taxi Magic will have a cab sent right to you. You can pay directly through the app so you don't have to worry about whether credit is accepted or not. The app and booking services are free, and there's a $1.50 documentation fee for using a credit card through the app. If there isn't a participating cab company in the area, Taxi Magic will give you phone numbers for local companies so you can call and arrange for a cab yourself. TripIt . If you've ever used TripIt online to manage your travel, you know it's a great tool for keeping all your travel plans in one place. Of course, there's also an app for that. See and manage all your travel plans in the TripIt app so you never lose your details. Beyond the basics of flights, hotels and cars, you can also put in things like appointments and meals. Your airline app . This isn't one app; it's dependent upon which airline you fly. If you fly a different airline every time, then it's probably not worth downloading every single airline app. But if you're a loyalist, you should absolutely have it. There are some excellent apps out there that allow you to check flight status, see the standby list, book flights and even check in. Apps will store a mobile boarding pass so you can just flash your phone to get on the airplane (not in all airports, but it's getting there). Some airlines have better apps than others. I've heard rave reviews about the new United Airlines app, but get the apps for the airlines you fly frequently. What would you add to the list?

<s>[INST] What can you get from the text: London, England (CNN) -- Irish football officials have lodged an official complaint with world ruling body FIFA after Thierry Henry confessed that he handled the ball in the build-up to the goal which sent France to next summer's World Cup. Television cameras showed Henry guiding the ball with his hand twice, before William Gallas scored from his resulting cross to give "Les Bleus" a narrow win in the two-legged World Cup play-off against the Republic of Ireland. "I will be honest. It was a handball but I am not the referee," the Barcelona striker told reporters after the match in Paris. The Irish Justice Ministry confirmed to CNN that Dermot Ahern had asked the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) to demand a replay in the interests of fair play. "Thierry Henry has admitted handling the ball, claims he told the ref he handled it. Millions of people worldwide saw it was a blatant double handball -- not to mention a double offside -- and we should put the powers that be in the cozy world of FIFA on the spot and demand a replay," Ahern said in a statement sent to CNN. "They probably won't grant it as we are minnows in world football but let's put them on the spot. It's the least we owe the thousands of devastated young fans around the country. Otherwise if that result remains it reinforces the view that if you cheat you will win." The FAI later confirmed that it had taken the matter to FIFA. "I really believe the integrity of the game has been questioned last night," chief executive John Delaney told reporters. "The governing body of world football have to step up to the plate and accede to our call for a replay." Delaney said the FAI had also written to the French football federation. "They need to look at themselves in this situation. Henry is their captain and a wonderful footballer, but does he want to be like Diego Maradona and his legacy to be this handball, this goal that got them to the World Cup in an unjust manner? If we had qualified in this manner, I wouldn't be happy," he said. "It is up to the people who govern the game now. Every time I go to a FIFA congress I hear about fair play and integrity. This was a defining game with the whole world watching, and if FIFA believe in fair play and integrity, this is their opportunity to step forward." The FAI has argued that there is a precedent for the result to be struck out, following FIFA's ruling that Uzbekistan had to replay a play-off against Bahrain for the 2006 World Cup in Germany after the referee made a mistake in awarding a penalty. "The Football Association of Ireland is hoping that FIFA and its disciplinary committee will, on behalf of football fans worldwide, act in a similar fashion so that the standards of fair play and integrity can be protected," the FAI said. FIFA confirmed it had received the Irish request for a replay, but gave no timescale on a decision. However, it said that under its regulations the referee's decision cannot be changed. "Law 5 states that the decisions of the referee regarding facts connected with play, including whether or not a goal is scored and the result of the match, are final," it said. "The referee may only change a decision on realising that it is incorrect or, at his discretion, on the advice of an assistant referee or the fourth official, provided that he has not restarted play or terminated the match." Irish captain Richard Dunne, who spoke to Henry on the final whistle, said he felt cheated by the goal. "He admitted he handled it, but it doesn't make me feel any better because we are not going to the World Cup finals," the defender said. "FIFA will probably be happy. Yet again the big decisions have gone for the bigger team." Football's international governing body had faced criticism from several Irish players that the seeding system for the play-off draw favored more powerful nations such as France. Blog: When will FIFA see what's staring them in the face? Dunne's teammate Robbie Keane admitted it was "hard to speak," as he struggled to come to terms with the result. "With the way we played, we certainly deserved to win the game and it killed us near the end with that handball," he was quoted by the FAI Web site as saying. "I've seen the replay but we knew anyway (it was handball). You could see by the reaction of the players, especially Shay (Given) who was two yards away from it. You don't get a reaction like that. It was a clear handball. "He (Henry) almost caught the ball and actually ran into the net with it. We're devastated." Ireland team manager Giovanni Trapattoni told reporters that the referee had time to ask the linesman and then Henry. "It would not have been the first time a player would have asked and it would not have been out of turn. "We are angry," the Italian continued. "It is a bitter evening for me. I would prefer to have gone out on penalties." Fanzone: Five of football's most famous injustices . But former France international David Ginola was emphatic that Henry should not have "owned up." "You don't do that," he told CNN. "Henry was doing his job. You can't blame him for doing everything he could for his team and country to get them to South Africa. "But it was a shame to finish the game like that as Ireland had played very well. "Referees need more help on the pitch, so as not to allow things like that. Obviously the referee was not well-positioned and couldn't see." English Referees Union chief Alan Leighton told CNN that Swedish official Martin Hansson had clearly missed a huge decision. "I think the incident was more of instinct than deliberately attempting to cheat but it does seem that the ball hit his hand twice and therefore there is an issue." But on the wider issue of cheating, Leighton said: "It is all very well to blame the referees for not spotting it but fundamentally it starts with the players. "I think the players have to think about the game, think about the reputation of the game and their own reputations and say look actually there is a line that we will not cross."

Details of the final terrifying hours of workers held hostage by terrorists at an Algerian gas plant have been revealed, as footage emerged of the site two weeks after the crisis unfolded in the Sahara desert. At least 38 foreign workers - including six Britons - died at the facility, which is part operated by BP, after it was over-run by heavily-armed terrorists on Wednesday January 16. The Algerian general manager of the site has told how between eight and 10 western hostages had been tied to metalwork at a gas construction complex on Thursday January 17, while the hostage-takers - some clad in suicide vests - set about building a bomb. Damage: The damage was evident as the Algerian government opened the desert gas plant for the first time following the four-day siege which saw dozens of workers slaughtered by militants . Lofti Benadouda said: 'There was one big explosion and we saw the fire burning all night.' According to a report in the Daily Telegraph . Mr Benadouda said the hostages had been chained to the metalwork at . varying heights; some at ground level close to the car containing the . bomb, others further up. 'The terrorists wanted a big explosion. They wanted to destroy the plant and make a big impression,' he said. Bloodshed: Bullet holes in the wall of a building in the residential area of the sprawling In Amenas complex in Algeria . Hostage crisis: Workers in hard hats stand before blackened towers at the In Amenas plant, which is now under heavy military guard . The manager, who was used by the . militants to relay messages between them and Algerian forces surrounding . the site, said that when he . attended the plant to try and identify the bodies of his colleagues, the . sights he witnessed suggested three terrorists had detonated suicide . vests.

Explosion: The manager of the site has described how a group of western hostages were tied to metalwork at a central gas processing facility by militants wearing suicide vests . The militants, who called themselves . the Signatories in Blood Battalion, stormed the 37-acre site on January . 16, attacking two buses carrying employees and killing two, before . driving to the main facility where they took hostages. The following day saw more bloodshed when Algerian forces attacked as the militants tried to move the hostages.

<s>[INST] Please summarize the following: By . Stephen Wright . Last updated at 12:09 PM on 13th September 2011 . Priorities: Bernard Hogan-Howe joins the Metropolitan police at a time of change and difficulty . A plain-speaking police chief renowned for his ruthless obsession with cutting crime was yesterday appointed head of the beleaguered Metropolitan Police. Bernard Hogan-Howe, 53, vowed to put fear back in the minds of criminals after winning the race to become commissioner at Scotland Yard. Britain's new top officer faces an enormous task trying to restore morale in the Met in the aftermath of the phone hacking scandal, widespread criticism of the force's handling of the London riots and concerns about burglary and robbery figures. He will also assume overall responsbility for counter-terrorism in the run up to next year's Olympic Games in London. Mr Hogan-Howe is the force's third chief appointed in six years following the controversial exits of his two predecessors, Sir Ian Blair and Sir Paul Stephenson, making it the hottest seat in British policing. He was handed a five-year contract after convincing interviewers he could lead a ‘new, more transparent' era for the force. The former Merseyside chief constable could not disguise his delight at landing the job. ‘It's the highest accolade that any police officer could have,' he said. Outlining his targets, he added: ‘The idea is to make the criminals fear the police and what they are doing now.' One of Mr Hogan-Howe's priorities will be ensuring the Olympic Games pass off peacefully at a time of unprecedented police funding squeezes. He is expected to run a tight ship at the Yard and will move quickly to shake up the Met's senior management team. Assistant Commissioner Cressida Dick is tipped as a strong contender to be his deputy. Mr Hogan-Howe beat off a strong challenge from Sir Hugh Orde, the much respected but outspoken president of the Association of Chief Police Officers, to land the £276,000 a year job. The other contenders were acting commissioner Tim Godwin, who now reverts to being deputy commissioner but who is expected to leave the Met in the next few months, and Strathclyde's chief constable Steve House. A number of members of the Metropolitan . Police Authority were keen for Sir Hugh to be appointed but Home . Secretary Theresa May, who has been angered by Sir Hugh's attacks on . government policy, was never likely to sanction such a move. Announcement: Bernard Hogan-Howe, centre, was chosen by Home Secretary Theresa May, left, and Mayor of London Boris Johnson, right, to be the new Scotland Yard Commissioner . Resignations: Former Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Paul . Stephenson, left, and deputy commissioner John Yates, right, both left . the force in the wake of the News of the World phone hacking scandal . Unsuccessful: Sir Hugh Orde had been widely tipped for the top job . She said: ‘Bernard has an excellent track record as a tough single-minded crime fighter. He showed that in his time as chief constable of Merseyside, and I'm sure he's going to bring those skills and that ability to fight crime to the Metropolitan Police here in London.' London Mayor Boris Johnson said: ‘It was a very strong field but I think the Home Secretary and I were agreed that Bernard's performance was outstanding, and he really commended himself above all by his relentless focus on building on the work of Sir Paul Stephenson and Tim Godwin in driving down crime.' Mr Hogan-Howe was parachuted into the Met as acting deputy commissioner after Sir Paul and Britain's anti-terror chief, assistant commissioner John Yates, quit in quick succession. The surprise move was a clear indication that he was in line for the top job on a permanent basis. He had previously been working for Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary. Untouchable: Hogan-Howe has been compared to legendary U.S. lawman Eliot Ness (pictured as played on TV by Robert Slack) Bernard Hogan-Howe is an advocate of zero tolerance policing and waged what he called a ‘total war on crime' against the gangsters and villains of Merseyside when he was chief constable there. It worked. During his five years in charge, from 2004 to 2009, crime was reduced by almost a third and anti-social behaviour by 25 per cent. A force which had once been rated the worst in the country for public confidence became one of the country's best. Everyone from vandals to drug-takers to fare dodgers was targeted. And, when Mr Hogan-Howe was unhappy with the sentences they were given by the courts, he was not afraid to say so. He has been nicknamed Eliot Ness – the legendary lawman in Prohibition America whose hand-picked team of Untouchables brought down Al Capone – for his zero-tolerance on gun and knife crime. Mr Hogan-Howe led his officers in Merseyside as they investigated some of the most sensitive and appalling crimes of recent years, including the racist killing of Anthony Walker, a black student, with an ice axe and the gun murder of 11-year-old Rhys Jones – the innocent victim of a gangland feud. The Rhys Jones investigation, considered incredibly challenging because of the culture of silence attached to gangs, saw officers cleverly recruit a teenage supergrass as their main prosecution witness in order to crack the case. Such experiences will stand him in good stead at the Met, where tackling the gang culture blamed for last month's riots will be one of his most important jobs. He will also need all his experience of handling delicate racial problems in the wake of the fatal shooting which proved the trigger for widespread destruction. The married 53-year-old, an avid football fan who is a tough-tackler on the pitch, began his career in his native Sheffield in 1979. Identified as a high-flyer, he was sent to Oxford University by the police. He has an MA in law from Oxford, a diploma in applied criminology from the University of Cambridge and an MBA from the University of Sheffield. If that sets alarm bells ringing – the very politically-correct Sir Ian Blair had a similarly academic background – Mr Hogan-Howe is said to have drawn experience from another ex-Met Commissioner: Sir John Stevens. As an assistant commissioner at the Met from 2001 to 2004, he watched as Sir John ran the force with an iron-grip, leaving his officers in no doubt of what was expected of them. He will need a similarly robust attitude to bring order to the Met now. But few who saw him in action in Merseyside doubt he is up to the challenge.

Argentine lawyer Marcela Iacub claimed the disgraced ex-International Monetary Fund chief would have turned the Elysee Palace into a ‘swingers' club' if he'd been elected president. The 48-year-old legal expert said she had a steamy seven-month affair with Strauss-Kahn, 64, after he was cleared of raping a maid at a New York hotel. Kiss and tell: Argentine lawyer Marcela Iacub (left) has branded her former lover Dominique Strauss-Kahn (right) the 'king of the pigs' in an explosive new book . Scathing: In her lurid memoir Beauty and the Beast (above), she claims the disgraced ex-International Monetary Fund chief would have turned the Elysee Palace into a 'swingers' club' if he'd been elected president . In excerpts of her lurid memoir ‘Beauty and the Beast' published in France yesterday, she claimed that had he become the French president, he would have ‘used your assistants, henchmen, advisers and staff as touts, orgy organisers, experts in the art of satisfying your darkest urges.' ‘You claimed that you were ready to give your blood for your country when in fact you would have used this country to spill your inexhaustible sperm,' she added in an open letter to her former lover. After meeting Mr Strauss-Kahn in January last year, Miss Iacub said she fell completely in love with the man she described as the ‘king of the pigs' and ‘half man, half pig.' ‘Pigs have a relationship with the present that humans hardly have. They never cease relishing the incredible luck of being alive, eating, running, sullying, wounding, feeling.' Withering: Miss Iacub also turns on Strauss-Kahn's estranged wife, Anne Sinclair (left), whom she claims dreamt of being First Lady and treated her husband like a 'poodle' ‘You have had a long list of sexual conquests ... of mostly vulgar and unattractive women,' she wrote. ‘It is one of the authentic and wonderful traits of the true pig, a form of generosity that you show to all women prepared to receive you.' The pair met in January 2012 after Miss Iacub wrote an essay defending Strauss-Kahn. He subsequently texted her: ‘You who like writing, tell me what you want to do with me later.'

Strauss-Kahn said he felt ‘doubly disgusted' by the ‘inaccurate' account of their relationship. ‘Disgusted . that a woman would seduce a man with the sole intention of writing a . book about it, of feigning love for financial gain, for selling her . story through a press she has always been critical of,' he wrote to Le .

Covered: Breast pumps and kits are now covered under insurance policies under the Affordable Care Act . The Affordable Care Act means many things for women, including birth control for all policy holders with no additional payment from the patient required. A lesser-known facet of the new so-called Obamacare law is a provision that requires insurance companies to cover the full cost of breast pumps without a deductible or out-of-pocket expense for new mothers. The cost of these devices is covered in insurance premiums, which in turn are paid by policyholders. The Washington Post notes that it was pumps, not pills, that caught suppliers off-guard after January 1, when this part of the Affordable Care Act went into law. The catch for all new mothers is that only certain breast pump models are covered, and they have to be ordered through a licensed provider. Yummy Mummy, a New York-based boutique that specializes in accessories a new mother would need, has been mulling how best to serve their clientele. Owner Amanda Cole told the Post that she and her staff have been inundated with calls, and that she's improvising how best to handle the new business. Available: New York boutique retailer Yummy Mummy is one company registered to supply insurance-approved pumps . The business owner recently signed a contract with health giant Aetna to become a licenced provider of breast pumps. So far, around five kits are covered by insurance, as well as bottles, breast shields, and caps. ‘Now that the plan really took effect on January 1st, there's been a marked change,' she told the paper. Without insurance, new mothers could pay upwards of $300 for a pump, milk containers, sterilizers, and other paraphernalia. Control: As part of the ACA in effect, insurance companies must provide any FDA-approved contraception . The $2.8 trillion U.S. healthcare system costs nearly $9,000 a year for every man, woman and child, according to Reuters. As the New York Times noted today, some policyholder's insurance premiums went up by double-digit percentages in 2013 due in part to the ACA. The Times reported that Anthem Blue Cross in California has proposed raising its rates by 26 percent, and other private insurers are onboard. -Source: U.S. Department of Health and Human Services .

Grieving relatives worried that their loved ones will not attract enough mourners at their funeral can now bump up the numbers by hiring 'professional sobbers'. A growing number of people are hiring out their services at £45 for a two-hour ceremony - and as well as attending the funeral they will weep and talk to friends of the deceased. The trend started in areas such as the Middle East and China, but the rise of multiculturalism has made it increasingly popular in the UK. Enterprising: A company based in Essex is hiring out professional mourners for £45 a go . Fake mourners, known as moirologists, are trained actors who specialise in the skill of appearing grief-stricken at public events. Before the funeral services, they are briefed about the life of the deceased so they can talk to other mourners as if they had genuinely known him or her. The unusual industry has become so popular that one Essex firm now has 20 staff on its books available for hire. Ian Robertson, the founder of Rent a Mourner in Braintree, admits the idea may be unfamiliar to the British, but predicts it will soon catch on. Trend: More and more British funerals are now involving professional mourners (file photo) 'We were actually inspired by the market growth in China,' he said. 'The Middle Eastern way is to provide wailers - crying women - as opposed to the quiet, dignified methods we use. 'It is growing in the UK - our bookings are up 50 per cent year on year.' 'Our staff will meet with the client beforehand and agree "the story", so our staff will either have known the deceased professionally or socially. They will be informed of the deceased's background, achievements, failures etc., so they can converse with other mourners with confidence.' The company says on its website: 'We are typically invited to help increase visitors to funerals where there may be a low turnout expected. This can usually be a popularity issue or being new to an area, or indeed, the country.' Origins: 'Professional sobbers' are currently more popular in the Middle East and China (file photo) Consumer expert Jasmine Birtles believes multi-cultural Britain is experiencing a 'cultural shift' in the way its mourners say their final farewell. Ms Birtles, the founder of personal finance site MoneyMagpie.com, said: 'Hiring a stranger to weep at a funeral may seem strange, but it's a deep-seated tradition in the East. 'It's still a niche market at the moment but demand for professional mourners is increasing year on year as more people from East Asian and Middle Eastern countries move to the UK, bringing their customs with them. 'The rise in popularity shows a cultural shift taking place in how we choose to pay our last respects and like with many other cultural imports, it's only a matter of time before it crosses over into mainstream culture.'

Women who experience stress, worry or panic attacks before becoming pregnant are more than twice as likely to report that their child cried ‘excessively'. It is not known why this link exists, but researchers said mothers suffering from anxiety may have a more ‘intrusive' parenting style that could cause babies to cry more. Stress: Mothers with a history of anxiety have babies who cry for longer, research showed (posed by model) Experts also suggest a baby's excessive crying may be due to the mother's production of stress hormones during pregnancy, which may cross the placenta and affect the development of a child's brain. They are calling for women suffering from anxiety in pregnancy to be supported during early motherhood. GP Dr Clare Bailey, a parenting specialist, said: ‘Mothers can easily get into a traumatic negative cycle when worrying about a newborn child. The more they worry, the less they sleep and calm themselves down and the more they worry. ‘Anxiety can make them hypervigilant, distressed by crying and even rejected by their child. ‘It intuitively sounds likely that a calm mother feeling relaxed, comfortable and confident will be more likely to help a child regulate its crying, while an anxious mother may be less likely to help a baby to self-settle. Babies can pick up emotional cues very early on.' Some 300 mothers were interviewed while pregnant and asked about their history of anxiety (posed by model) The study, published in the journal Archives Of Disease In Childhood, looked at nearly 300 women who were in the early stages of pregnancy. They were asked about their history of anxiety and depression, and were interviewed during their pregnancy and until their child was 16 months old. Ten per cent of the women reported excessive crying following the birth. Further analysis found that babies born to women with an anxiety disorder were significantly more likely to cry for longer periods. Child health specialist Dr Harriet Hiscock, from the University of Melbourne, warned that the role of the father also needed to be examined and cautioned against adding to ‘a mother's day of worry by blaming her for her infant's crying'.

<s>[INST] What's the gist of this passage? By . Meghan Keneally . and Louise Boyle . Robert Wilson committed suicide in December and now details of his will have been released, showing he left $2million to his assistant and millions to the executor of his will. The 87-year-old hedge funder-turned-philanthropist's health was deteriorating and had recently suffered a stroke which limited his mobility. He was found dead on December 23 after having jumped from his 16th floor apartment in the historic San Remo building on Manhattan's Upper West Side which is known for its unparalleled views of Central Park. Today it was revealed that in addition to environmental and educational charities, he also left his 72-year-old assistant Angela Riccardi $2million and gave an undisclosed amount to Richard Schneidman who was a longtime friend and put in charge of executing his will. After taxes, Mr Schneidman's gift is expected to be multiple millions. Planned: Robert W. Wilson deliberately gave hundreds of millions of dollars of his fortune away in the years before his death on December 23 and told friends he wanted to have it all gone when he died . The New York Daily News reported that . the openly gay octogenarian did not leave any money to his ex-wife, who . he divorced nearly 40 years ago. 'He . left huge amounts of money to charity... He was a good friend for 30 . years. I'm devastated,' Mr Schneidman told The Daily News. Neighbor David Tobey told the New York Post: 'Robert, for all his money, never took cabs, never took a limo. He always took the subway. 'On the few occasions when he did grab a cab, he would usually share a cab with someone in the building. He shared a cab with my wife and insisted that she pay half.' Wilson had a personal fortune of about $800million - but he recently told friends he had given all but $100million to charity. He apparently could not give away the rest because it was tied up in long-term investments. A police source told the Post that he had left a suicide note which read: 'I had a rewarding life. Thank you and goodbye to all my friends. Please make sure you cancel all my plans. Tell everyone what I did. I'm not ashamed of killing myself. Sell all my stuff.' Friends saw signs that he may do something drastic as he suffered a debilitating stroke about a month ago and began unloading his fortune in droves. The multi-millionaire did not have any children and his 35-year marriage ended well before his death. Home: Wilson had owned his 16th floor apartment in the historic San Remo building since 1978 and he jumped off the balcony to his death on Monday . The paper reports that he has donated more than $100million a piece to four different charities: The Nature conservancy, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Wildlife Conservation Society and the World Monuments Fund. 'He was the most committed person I have ever known,' World Monuments Fund president Bonnie Burnham said to The Post. 'More than his financial contributions, he brought an astute mind and sharp wit to the organization. He will be missed greatly and long remembered as a visionary donor.' The idea of saving the environment was one that Wilson had spoken about previously, and in a 2011 interview, he told The Financial Times that much of the $600million he had given to charity at that point was directed towards those groups. 'The idea of "But for my money, it would be gone forever" appeals,' he said then at the age of 84. Another issue that appealed to him - and was close to his purse strings- was an investment in New York City's Catholic schools even though he was an atheist. The felt that the tuition at the schools, which were going through financial issues, showed an immediate 'return' and he gave $20million to a fund earmarked for that cause. 'I'm an atheist, but I think the schools are especially good,' he said to the Financial Times. Before the stroke: Wilson, seen here in his colorfully-decorated apartment in 2010, donated hundreds of millions of dollars to environmental and educational causes . He was also proud of the apartment where he lived, making it less of a shock that he chose that as his final resting place. He had owned the apartment since 1978 and his attention to detail and fine art collection has helped him decorate it and refurbish it so that his original price- $300,000- is just a fraction of what he estimated it's worth in 2011- $20million. Wilson is one of many millionaires who live in the building, as Bono, Tiger Woods, Steven Spielberg, Dodi Fayed and Bruce Willis have all had apartments in the building. The apartment has views of Central Park, and Wilson clearly relished looking out at the trees and the lake. 'Who needs a summer place? I've got one,' he said to the Financial Times reporter.

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? St. Petersburg, Florida (CNN) -- I first met Dan Wheldon in 2003, when he stepped into the cockpit of the Klein Tools/Jim Beam Indy car at Andretti Green Racing, just before the third race of the season at the Twin Ring Motegi racing track in eastern Japan. He was a cocky, fastidious 23-year-old in those days, with a quick step and a winning way that made him seem like a modern-day Dickens character brought to life. "Young Wheldon," I called him back then. He loved that. We began our Honda Racing careers together. I was hired by the company around the same time Dan was hired as test driver for development of the Honda engine that would make its IndyCar debut during that season. In short order, he became one of Honda's favorite sons. In 2004, he became the first Honda-powered driver ever to win an IndyCar event at the magnificent Motegi complex. The Honda-owned course had not seen one of its own cars take the checkered flag at its signature event in six futile attempts. He won Motegi again in 2005 and then went on to win that year's Indianapolis 500 and the IndyCar Series championship, a feat that has not since been matched. There were numerous highlights after that: 16 IndyCar victories in all, culminating in this year's completely implausible win in the Centennial Indianapolis 500. Services held for Wheldon in Florida . That's what the record book says. It documents Dan's legacy in numbers. But it doesn't come close to capturing his legacy in the hearts of those who knew him. The Dan I knew was more than a racer. He was a friend. A husband. A father. A hero. He loved shoes. He loved watches. He loved the food my trackside chef, Tim Olszewski, prepared at virtually every IndyCar Series event. (That hardly made him unique -- Tim is a really good chef.) What set Dan apart was his genuine interest in all the members of the hospitality staff. He treated them all as his equals, and as a consequence, they were all left equally shattered after the tragedy. Around the track, just about everyone had their own "Dan Wheldon moment." He had an uncanny talent to connect quickly and personally with everyone he met -- whether high-dollar sponsor or Turn 3 bleacher-ite -- and to give each of them something far more valuable than an autograph or a photo. He left them with his kindness, his spirit. He never turned down a single request, whether it was for an appearance at a dealer meeting, a ride-and-drive with the media or a quick "Hello" to a group of trackside guests. In each case, he brought a smile that was manufactured only in the most literal sense -- his realigned teeth after his '05 championship were an ongoing source of paddock amusement -- but genuine in every other imaginable way. In a world where part of the competitive ethos is to convey at all costs an impression of invulnerability, Dan was the exception. As a colleague said to me the other day, "He let you in." My Dan Wheldon moment occurred after the Centennial Indianapolis 500 this past May. After winning the prestigious race for the second time, Dan had just concluded an exuberant celebratory victory lap at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. He returned to Victory Circle to begin the Hat Dance -- that incessant procession of ballcaps and photo ops, which, for understandable reasons, lasts about five times as long at Indianapolis as at any other track on the IndyCar Series circuit. Dan had just stepped into the cockpit, and had the first hat in hand, when he looked to his left and saw me standing along the railing that divided the race car from the rabble. He placed the hat on the car's nose, got out, walked around to my side of the car and grabbed me. I barely remember what he said to me, but I do remember hearing a loud cheer from the grandstand above us in Victory Circle. And I remember thinking, "That's pretty cool. Some people I know are happy that I'm getting this moment." It wasn't until we separated, and Dan resumed the headwear ritual, that I looked above me to see that I did not recognize a single face among those who had been doing the cheering. Whether or not it is true, I'm going to continue in the belief that those spectators were paying tribute to the emotion of a moment between the Indianapolis 500 winner and some guy none of them had ever met. And that blew me away. Just before he returned to his car, Daniel and I spent time crying in each other's arms. We were crying tears of joy, feeling all the pain and all the hard work it took to get to that moment, and celebrating all the promise the future would hold for him. After last Sunday afternoon, I am not ashamed to admit, I have cried in many other arms, as well. [/INST] Thomas "T.E." McHale: Dan Wheldon was more than a superb driver -- he was a hero .

<s>[INST] What's the gist of this passage? More than 400 migrants were stopped from getting into Britain from Calais this weekend as they used end-of-summer traffic jams to climb on board vehicles queueing for ferries to Dover. Police found 300 stowaways in 69 trucks on Saturday alone, forcing them to divert freight traffic along a ‘secure route' accompanied by riot squads. The number of migrants found hidden in vehicles in Calais in 2014 is expected to reach 30,000. Some 3,000 are now found every month. Scroll down for video . Stoaways: Some 3,000 migrants are found smuggling themselves into UK-bound vehicles in Calais every month . The situation has led to haulage firms advising their drivers to bypass Calais, meaning migrants are now targeting other ports with weaker security. Don Amour, of the Freight Transport Association, said: ‘While Calais to Dover remains the preferred route for migrants trying to cross to Britain, our members have reported stowaways trying to get into their vehicles at ports such as Dunkirk, Ostend, Boulogne and St Malo.' Hafid Derideche, of French haulage firm Atlantic Europe, said: ‘We see more and more migrants in western France, in ports in Brittany and Le Havre.' The French government will today be urged to approve plans for a ‘Sangatte-style' camp outside Calais and a series of ‘welcome centres' for UK-bound migrants across France. Calais mayor Natacha Bouchart will tell interior minister Bernard Cazeneuve that providing shelter, food and information on asylum to migrants determined to reach the UK is the only way to take back control of her town. But the proposed camp has been likened to the notorious Red Cross Centre at Sangatte that was used by 60,000 as a springboard for illegal entry to Britain before it was closed in 2002. Mrs Bouchart blames Britain's generous welfare and asylum systems for attracting a stream of migrants from Africa, Asia and the Middle East which have brought havoc to the streets of Calais. Action: The French government will be urged to approve plans for a 'Sangatte-style' camp to curb the figures . The influx dramatically increased earlier this year when the crisis in Libya allowed migrants from Eritrea, Ethiopia and Sudan to reach Europe from the North African coast. French authorities are struggling to maintain order with up to 2,000 living in makeshift camps and squats in and around the town. The number could reach up to 5,000 by the end of the year, politicians fear. Armed gangs fight pitched battles for control of the best vantage point from which to break into trucks boarding ferries to Dover. Riot police are expected to launch a fresh assault on the biggest encampment, known as Jungle 2, in the coming days. But local leaders say a crackdown will not end the problem. Under the mayor's proposals a summer camp for children close to the ferry port will be transformed into a hostel for 400, providing regular meals and washing facilities. Mrs Bouchart has urged the leaders of other towns and villages where migrants have congregated to set up ‘welcome centres' which will not provide accommodation but will offer advice on their rights. And she will also ask for a change in the law to allow migrants to make applications for asylum in Britain while still in France.

Highly qualified mothers are being excluded from full-time jobs because of a lack of flexibility in the work place, according to a report. The survey revealed that two-thirds of employed women were unable to adjust the time they start or finish work. And a quarter said it was difficult to take an hour or two off work to attend to personal matters at short notice. The report by the IPPR think-tank said the UK had a ‘particular problem' with a lack of part-time work in skilled jobs for highly qualified workers compared to other countries. It means many women with children in Britain are working part time in jobs below their skills level. Women in Sweden and the Netherlands are more able to adapt their working hours than those in the UK, said the report. More than two-fifths of women who work part time do so mainly to take care of children or disabled adults, compared with 6 per cent of men, said IPPR. The report revealed that a third of women in part-time jobs were not happy with the amount of hours they work. The research also showed that women who work part time in the UK are seven times more likely to let care duties dictate their working hours than men in part-time jobs. Dalia Ben-Galim, associate director of IPPR, said: ‘Employers are missing out on top talent and highly qualified women are working in low-skilled jobs. ‘That's a missed opportunity for both employers and employees. ‘How work is arranged, and employees' level of autonomy over working hours, can have a big impact on how well people reconcile paid work with other commitments.' The survey revealed two-thirds of employed women were unable to adjust the time they start or finish work. File photo . She continued: ‘An important indicator for flexibility is how employees' hours are set, and who has control over this. ‘For example, fixed starting times set by an employer may conflict with the varying and changing needs of families. ‘Flexible working in its current, reduced-hours form simply isn't flexible enough. ‘The prevalence of rigid scheduling, especially in low-income jobs, often means that even reduced hours work is not sufficient for meeting the more spontaneous demands of care-giving.'

<s>[INST] Go through this text and glean the main points: An Oklahoma history teacher faces losing his job for having a Benjamin Frankiln poster with a controversial quote based on 'choosing a mistress' on the wall of his classroom. Steven Alcorn, 62, who has taught for 38 years, was suspended from Marlow High School last week for having a picture of a cat alongside the phrase: 'In the dark, all cats are grey.' It is paraphrasing a letter the Founding Father wrote to a friend in 1745 called 'Advice to a Young Man on Choosing a Mistress' - urging a man he should chose an older woman companion. Steven Alcorn was suspended from Marlow High School in Oklahoma last week for having a picture of a cat alongside the phrase 'In the dark, all cats are grey' in the classroom. It is a quote from a letter by Benjamin Franklin (right), written in 1745, advising a young man that he should choose an older mistress . In the passage, the politician writes: 'It is impossible of two women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the pleasure of corporal enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior.' In the 19th century it was deemed obscene and was not originally published in his original letters. Alcorn, a Civil War reenactor, has been working at the school for six years and it is believed he had the poster up since he started. Richard O'Carroll, the teacher's attorney, told the Duncan Banner: 'My client was teaching history accurately. 'Just as Ben Franklin was a great man in terms of science and a founder of our nation, he was still a man. People need to know these things, not just the myths and legends, but who they are. 'We hope that cooler heads will prevail,' he added. 'There is still time for the school board to do nothing. If they do make a recommendation, we are looking forward to a full and fair hearing before the school board. We expect an exoneration.' Career: The 62-year-old, who has been a teacher for almost 40 years, is believed to have had the poster in the classroom since he started at Marlow High six years ago . Alcorn told the paper that he wanted to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and get back into the classroom. A Facebook group supporting his re-instatement has already reached 302 members and his wife Jera has also posted her support. Former student Amber Abrego told KFOR News 4 she never thought the quote was a big deal and thinks Alcorn's suspension is unfair. 'I think it`s awful, why would you want to do that to someone who has been so loyal to their school, who came to every single football game? 'I hope that he gets to keep his job. I hope that he gets more respect out of this because he deserves it. He`s a good man, he's a good teacher. However Brian Jacob, who works in a bait shop in the city, admitted he could see where the school is coming from. Decision: Alcorn's disciplinary hearing at the school is set for January 20 when he will hear his fate. He says he hopes the issue will be resolved quickly so he can go back to work . 'Nowadays everything`s really touchy on subjects like that. Suspended? I can see it,' Jacob said. The letter is taught in schools today because it was used in the 20th century to overturn U.S obscenity laws. It wasn't the only letter of Franklin's to be censored in the US. His satirical piece 'Fart Prouldy' was excluded from the majority of his published works. Attorneys used it to prove that if it had been mailed or published, one of the country's Founding Fathers would have been prosecuted. Education officials from Marlow Public Schools declined comment on Alcorn's case because it is a personnel issue and a pending legal matter. According to the Banner, Alcorn's disciplinary hearing has been set for January 20. The public school board is set to have already discussed the matter but have not released any details. Explicit content: The controversial correspondance written by the Founding Father was considered to be obscene and was not published in his collection of letters . My dear Friend, . I know of no Medicine fit to diminish the violent natural Inclinations you mention; and if I did, I think I should not communicate it to you. Marriage is the proper Remedy. It is the most natural State of Man, and therefore the State in which you are most likely to find solid Happiness. Your Reasons against entering into it at present, appear to me not well-founded. The circumstantial Advantages you have in View by postponing it, are not only uncertain, but they are small in comparison with that of the Thing itself, the being married and settled. It is the Man and Woman united that make the compleat human Being. Separate, she wants his Force of Body and Strength of Reason; he, her Softness, Sensibility and acute Discernment. Together they are more likely to succeed in the World. A single Man has not nearly the Value he would have in that State of Union. He is an incomplete Animal. He resembles the odd Half of a Pair of Scissars. If you get a prudent healthy Wife, your Industry in your Profession, with her good Economy, will be a Fortune sufficient. But if you will not take this Counsel, and persist in thinking a Commerce with the Sex inevitable, then I repeat my former Advice, that in all your Amours you should prefer old Women to young ones. You call this a Paradox, and demand my Reasons. They are these: . i. Because as they have more Knowledge of the World and their Minds are better stor'd with Observations, their Conversation is more improving and more lastingly agreable. 2. Because when Women cease to be handsome, they study to be good. To maintain their Influence over Men, they supply the Diminution of Beauty by an Augmentation of Utility. They learn to do a 1000 Services small and great, and are the most tender and useful of all Friends when you are sick. Thus they continue amiable. And hence there is hardly such a thing to be found as an old Woman who is not a good Woman. 3. Because there is no hazard of Children, which irregularly produc'd may be attended with much Inconvenience. 4. Because thro' more Experience, they are more prudent and discreet in conducting an Intrigue to prevent Suspicion. The Commerce with them is therefore safer with regard to your Reputation. And with regard to theirs, if the Affair should happen to be known, considerate People might be rather inclin'd to excuse an old Woman who would kindly take care of a young Man, form his Manners by her good Counsels, and prevent his ruining his Health and Fortune among mercenary Prostitutes. 5. Because in every Animal that walks upright, the Deficiency of the Fluids that fill the Muscles appears first in the highest Part: The Face first grows lank and wrinkled; then the Neck; then the Breast and Arms; the lower Parts continuing to the last as plump as ever: So that covering all above with a Basket, and regarding2 only what is below the Girdle, it is impossible of two Women to know an old from a young one. And as in the dark all Cats are grey, the Pleasure of corporal Enjoyment with an old Woman is at least equal, and frequently superior, every Knack being by Practice capable of Improvement. 6. Because the Sin is less. The debauching a Virgin may be her Ruin, and make her for Life unhappy. 7. Because the Compunction is less. The having made a young Girl miserable may give you frequent bitter Reflections; none of which can attend the making an old Woman happy. 8thly and Lastly They are so grateful!! Thus much for my Paradox. But still I advise you to marry directly; being sincerely Your affectionate Friend. Source: Swarthmore College .

<s>[INST] Summarize the text and bring out the key points: One of the most difficult parts of a trial, especially in front of a jury, is accurately describing the crime scene. A number of courtrooms have begun projecting 3D images of scenes onto walls - but these can only reveal a limited amount of information. To take criminal courtroom reconstructions to the next level, experts have created a 3D immersive system that virtually transports people inside the scene using an Oculus Rift headset. The setup uses an Oculus Rift headset (d), the OptiTrack optical tracker (e), laser scanner from Geomagic and Autodesk 3DS Max software to create the final reconstructions. The computer system is shown at (a), (b) is the Oculus USB connector, and (c) is a wall-mounted tracker . It has been dubbed 'forensic holodeck' after the environment simulator used in sci-fi show Star Trek. The low-cost setup uses an Oculus Rift headset, the OptiTrack optical tracker, a laser scanner from Geomagic and Autodesk 3DS Max software to create the final reconstructions. It also uses gaming software called Unity 3D. This creates an immersive world in which the jury, judges and other members of the court can explore and see in 3D high-resolution detail - similar to Star Trek's hologram setup. ‘In Switzerland, scenes are routinely reconstructed by combining 3D laser scans of the scene to post-mortem surface scans and medical images, such as CT and MRI,' explained lead researcher Lars Ebert from the from the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Zurich. To demonstrate the system, the researchers chose to reconstruct a shooting in an internet cafe (pictured). The scene was recorded by a surveillance camera, and the team then used a laser to scan the surroundings. The aim was to show how close bullet trajectories came to injuring people in the room .

The headset consists of a screen that is split in half, delivering half the 1280 x 800 pixel resolution for each eye. In the front of the screen, two plastic lenses help create a diagonal viewing angle of 110-degrees. The Rift is then connected to the PC using a HDMI cable, and a USB transfers information about the head orientation to a computer. Head orientation is measured using a combination of gyros, accelerometers, and magnetometers. When used for gaming, the headset doesn't typically need to use positional information of the head is usually not required. To overcome this problem for the forensic holodeck system, the researchers added an optical tracker to measure the user position. This meant they could freely move inside the virtual scene. To demonstrate the system, the researchers recently chose to reconstruct a shooting in an internet cafe. The scene was recorded by a surveillance camera, and the team then used a laser to scan the surroundings. The aim was to show how close bullet trajectories came to injuring people in the room. ‘The purpose of these reconstructions is to create a visualisation of an event to make it possible for a state attorney or judge to properly assess a situation based on the bullet trajectories, visibility, speed and distance.' Mr Ebert continued, however, that although the data used for these reconstructions are high resolution, and allow for a spatially correct display of the scene, they typically use a 3D reconstruction on a 2D display. This reduces the amount of spatial information available. The technology is similar to the fictional holodeck in Star Trek (pictured with Deanna Troi played by Marina Sirtis left and Jonathan Frakes as William Riker right). Holodecks were installed on starships, space stations, and at Starfleet for entertainment, training, and investigative purposes . And although 3D screens partially solve this problem, estimating distances is still difficult because the perceived depth depends on the size of the display. Mr Ebert believes his Oculus Rift system is a solution to this. To demonstrate the system, the researchers recently chose to reconstruct a shooting. During the incident in an internet cafe, a known drug dealer was approached by policemen and women in civilian clothes as well as in uniform for the purpose of arresting him. A Holographic Environment Simulator, or holodeck for short, was a form of holotechnology designed and used by Starfleet in Star Trek. Holodecks were installed on starships, space stations, and at Starfleet institutions for entertainment, training, and investigative purposes. A typical holodeck consisted of a room with a hologrid containing so-called omnidirectional holographic diodes. Holographic projections could be shown by manipulating photons contained within force fields. It was also used in an episode of The Next Generation, called A Matter of Perspective, to recreate the events leading up to a space station explosion for forensic investigations. Source: Memory Alpha . Despite being surrounded, the man was able to get up from his chair and draw a handgun. One of the policemen managed to grab onto the arm bearing the gun while the others attempted to take cover. In the course of the struggle, seven gunshots were fired and one of the bullets hit a policeman on his hand. The entire scene was recorded by a surveillance camera in one of the top corners of the room, and these recordings were used to reconstruct the sequence of events. The team then used a laser to scan the surroundings, and used to this to pinpoint the final position of the projectiles. This, along with the camera footage, were used to reconstruct every bullet fired. The aim of the reconstruction was to show how close the bullet trajectories came to severely injuring one of the people in the room. 'During a police congress, we were able to demonstrate the system,' continued the researchers. 'The comments by the police officers involved in the presented incident were promising.' Further work will be carried out to make the technology more accurate before it is used widely in courtrooms.

A father was sprayed in the face with a powerful chemical by police who arrested him for staging a sit-in protest at a supermarket about a faulty television set. Officers squirted pava spray into Eric Rawlinson's eyes and struck him on both arms with a baton before removing him from the Tesco Extra store in handcuffs while staff and shoppers watched. Mr Rawlinson, 41, had been protesting peacefully for four hours at the Swindon supermarket because staff told him they would not exchange his 10-month-old television, which had a faulty on-off switch. Arrest: Peaceful protester Eric Rawlinson was squirted in the eyes, struck on both arms and handcuffed as officers removed him from a Tesco Extra store in Swindon . But his demonstration ended dramatically after the store's manager called police. Officers arrived to find the unemployed former design manager sitting on a swing chair in the corner of the electrical goods area. After Mr Rawlinson told them he could not move, they squirted his eyes with the noxious spray - more potent than CS gas - and then struck his arms to release his grip from the chair. He was handcuffed face down on the floor. Then two other police vans and two squad cars arrived. Pava spray canisters, which are used by about 60 per cent of police forces in England and Wales, contain pelargonic acid vanillylamide and ethanol. They are designed to minimise a suspect's ability to resist arrest without unnecessarily prolonging their discomfort. Mr Rawlinson, a father-of-two from Abbey Meads, Swindon, described the encounter as 'the giants against the little people'.

Police forcibly removed Rawlinson from the Tesco Extra store by using a pava incapacitant spray on his eyes and striking him with a baton on both his arms . 'I was given an offer for a repair service but under my consumer rights I rejected it because I wanted an exchange,' he told the Swindon Advertiser. 'Too many people would go quietly and accept it but I believe I have a right of exchange.' Mr Rawlinson said that staff were 'polite' but refused to back down over the £599 widescreen set.

Mr Rawlinson, a father-of-two from Abbey Meads, Swindon, described the encounter as 'the giants against the little people' PAVA spray is an incapacitant spray dispensed from a hand-held canister in a liquid stream propelled by nitrogen. It is approved for police use in the UK, although many forces use the significantly less potent CS gas spray instead. The liquid stream is a spray pattern and has a maximum effective range of up to 4 metres. Maximum accuracy, however, will be achieved over a distance of 1.25 to 2 metres. PAVA primarily affects the eyes, causing closure and severe pain. The pain to the eyes is reported to be greater than that caused by CS. The effectiveness rate is very high once PAVA gets into the eyes; however, there have been occasions where PAVA and CS have failed to work - especially when the subject is under the influence of alcohol or drugs . Exposure to fresh moving air will normally result in a significant recovery from the effects of PAVA within 15 to 35 minutes. Both PAVA and CS are prohibited under s5 of the Firearms Act as a 'weapon of whatever description designed or adapted for the discharge of any noxious liquid, gas or other thing'. While it is unlawful for a member of the public to possess them, police officers, as servants of the Crown, are exempt from this restriction. Store manager Stuart Edginton said he was forced to call Wiltshire Police because Mr Rawlinson ignored repeated requests to leave and warnings from staff. Mr Edginton called Tesco head office numerous times during the stand-off but he was advised to stick to the company's policy, which only offers a refund or exchange during the first 28 days after purchase. A Tesco spokeswoman said: 'It is our policy to return a faulty item to the manufacturer for repairs and if these cannot be done, we will happily offer an exchange or refund. 'In this instance, as a gesture of goodwill, we also offered the customer an extended warranty on the product and the loan of another television. 'Unfortunately, the customer was not satisfied, and the police were called when he refused to leave the store after several hours.' A spokesman for Wiltshire Police . said: 'When officers arrived at the supermarket, the male was asked to . leave the store, but refused to do so.

<s>[INST] Please summarize the following: Elegant, seemingly resilient and as much of a perfectionist as her famous boyfriend, L'Wren Scott's acquaintances would say she had ‘the legs of a gazelle and the hide of a rhino'. Following the shocking news of her suicide last night, we now know the latter must have been untrue. Indeed, she hinted at her terrible vulnerability in one of her final postings on Instagram, where she reproduced the saying: ‘Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of life.' Scroll down for video . Jagger's girls: L'Wren with two of Mick's daughters Jade, left, and Georgia May . But why did she need armour? And can she have really felt so under attack? Those who knew her say she was suffering from depression and had only just recovered from an ‘incident' a few weeks ago when she had harmed herself. From the outside, though, it seemed the 49-year-old former model was enjoying a halcyon period, professionally and personally. She had just released an eponymous perfume, on sale in the upmarket store Barneys in New York. Her cosmetics venture with make-up artist Bobbi Brown was also hitting stores, based, she said, on the colours of the roses she grew at the home in the Loire she shared with Mick. Striking: Those renowned 42-in legs - and the little girl she once was named Laura . Her spring clothing collection had been unveiled. She dressed Christina Hendricks at the Oscars and continued to win plaudits for her fashion line. However, there were thousands of miles between her and Mick, who has been performing in Macau and Singapore with the Stones and had moved on to Australia for the next leg of their tour. Last night, various theories were presented as to why she took her life: that she was distraught following failed attempts to start a family or that she was ill. However, one source close to the Stones said she had harmed herself a month ago, although it was hushed up. Fan: L'Wren and Sarah Jessica Parker in a L'Wren design . The source added: ‘L'Wren was really quite troubled and there were some issues over Mick and her standing in the family. It seems she suffered from depression.' She wasn't, it was noted, invited to the baby shower that Jerry Hall hosted for Jade Jagger and daughter Assisi in London at the weekend. She was also reportedly frustrated at being apparently consigned to the role of girlfriend rather than wife — not that she ever let on. L'Wren knew that, after divorcing first wife Bianca and second wife Jerry, Mick had no time for matrimony and little for monogamy. She seemed to be playing a long game. But after chalking up 12 years by his side, she could hardly be blamed for hoping for more. One who knew her said L'Wren was ‘one of those people who likes perfection,' citing her designer glass bathroom and the impeccably furnished house she had created for Mick in Paris. His lack of commitment was far from perfect. Some thought she had fallen prey to the insecurities that are the lot of every rock ‘wife' who waves a temporary goodbye to her man. The rock wives who stick at their marriages the longest tend to be the ones who go on the road with their men — such as Jo Wood, who gave herself a job as Ronnie's road manager. L'Wren knew that. She usually liked to be right at Mick's side. She was there at Glastonbury when the Rolling Stones headlined last summer, in a chic pair of wellies, and in the wings at their last Hyde Park gig. She also designed the stage outfits Mick has worn for the past two years — the snappy trilby hats, oversized coats and slinky jeans with a 28in waist. But for whatever reason, this time, she remained alone at their apartment in New York while Mick, 70, was on the road. The source connected with the Stones told the Mail: ‘She just wasn't well enough to go on tour with them.' Nicole Kidman and L'Wren attend The 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards in Los Angeles, California, 2011. Right, Princess Beatrice and L'Wren at the Serpentine Summer Party, Hyde Park, London June 2013 . Front row friends: L'Wren was seated next to Victoria Beckham at the Chanel 2006 Summer show in Paris . There were other signs of strain. L'Wren cancelled her show at London Fashion Week in January at the last minute, saying her chosen fabrics had arrived too late for samples to be sewn in time. Accounts for her business, filed in the UK in October 2013, show her company, LS Fashion LTD, had a deficit of £3,546,000 with the designer owing creditors £4,592,000. There was speculation last night that she was ‘too broke' to stage her London show. However, she had just collaborated with the High Street store Banana Republic for a collection that would have paid her around £3million, so perhaps this is an overstatement. She told an interviewer she felt the financial pressure. ‘Every cheque, every penny, I have to be responsible for because it's my own money.' Her life story reads like an adventure novel. The adopted daughter of a Mormon store clerk, she dreamed of the big time and made it. Famous friends: L'Wren with actress Ellen Barkin in New York, 2002 . All smiles: Jagger was by Scott's side when she launched her Banana Republic partnership last fall . Humble beginnings: Scott (seen here in 2013 with musician Brian Adams) was the adoptive daughter of Mormon parents and grew up in Utah . Nicole Kidman was one of her closest friends and regularly wore her designs. By the time she met Mick she had already divorced her first millionaire. Given up for adoption at birth, she was named plain Laura by her adoptive parents Ivan and Lula Bambrough, and known as Luann. She grew up in a bungalow in the tiny town of Roy near Salt Lake City, Utah. Her father worked in a DIY store. It was a devout household, with both parents active in the Mormon church. She later said that her upbringing had been ‘like something out of Steven Spielberg'. By the time she was 12, she was a formidable 6ft. She went on to grow a further 4in. Known at school by the nickname ‘Lady', she excelled at sport and sang in the choir. Loss: The New York apartment building where L'Wren Scott committed suicide. Right, a medical examiner van at the apartment . But she always wanted to work in fashion, and used to make dresses for her Barbie dolls and cut up and remake vintage dresses. At 18, she met the famous photographer Bruce Weber, who encouraged her to believe in her worth as a fashion model. So she applied for a passport and, knowing not a word of French, hopped on a plane to Paris. In a recent interview, she said she had left after her adoptive parents declined to fund a course in fashion design. She said: ‘I didn't really feel that I was going to be able to achieve my goals in life if I'd stayed there . . . I think I would have felt much more scared not to do it. ‘I wanted to be in fashion. I've always thought if you want to do something, just do it.' Some thought L'Wren had fallen prey to the insecurities that are the lot of every rock 'wife' who waves a temporary goodbye to her man . She began to call herself L'Wren when she became a model, working the catwalk for eight years, and became famous for her incredible 42in legs forming the hands of a clock in a famous David Bailey advert for Pretty Polly tights. While working in London, she met Andrew Ladsky, a millionaire property developer whose mother was a member of the Boucheron jewellery family. They were together for three years, but in 1991 the relationship ended in a bizarre legal wrangle over a couple of valuable paintings and a full-length sheepskin coat. After the split from Ladsky, L'Wren moved to Los Angeles and met another property developer, Anthony Brand. They married, but it lasted just three years and they were divorced in 1996. She met Mick in 2001 on a shoot for a French magazine. He took her on holiday to St Barts, and she was soon at his side at red carpet events. He had been dating Venezualan heiress Vanessa Neumann when they met but L'Wren's success, independence and one-liners bowled him over. He found her physically bewitching, too, exclaiming she had ‘the best body I've ever known'. It was never about the music for L'Wren. As she said last year: ‘I loved Motown, and blues, and classical music, but never rock 'n' roll. I get made fun of a lot. Mick used to tell me for years that this one particular song was Gimme Shelter, and I'd say: “Oh, I love that song,” but it wasn't that at all!' She launched her fashion line in 2005 and quickly acquired many celebrity fans — from Madonna to Angelina Jolie, Mariah Carey to Sharon Stone. Mick would come to all her shows to support her. Their life appeared stable — and was certainly luxurious. She and Mick lived together for several years in a Claridge's hotel suite, eventually buying a house together in Chelsea. However, due to Mick's tax arrangements, most of their life together was spent in New York. Long-term: She met Mick Jagger in 2001 on a shoot for a French magazine .

It was said that Mick went on various diets and attempted various spiritual remedies to try to assist conception, but L'Wren never had the baby she seemingly so wanted. Her mother Lulu observed some years ago: ‘She usually knows what she wants and she gets it.' And to the outside world it appeared as though L'Wren had everything — the model looks, a successful fashion line and a rock star boyfriend. Yet it seems even this wasn't enough to save her from plunging into a depression that saw her take her own charmed life. [/INST] The designer and renowned beauty appeared to be enjoying success .

Above, David and Amy Burns with Jasmine . But the school defended its decision and said the rule had been introduced as the 'ultimate safeguarding solution'. Mr Burns and wife Amy had gone to the school to see a display of their 10-year-old daughter Jasmine's artwork. When he was told to leave his phone, he explained to staff that he needed to be constantly available in case his eldest son George, who has Asperger's Syndrome, had to contact him. He walked out after staff responded they were sorry, but that he couldn't go into the school with a mobile phone in case he took pictures. He said: 'I was flabbergasted. I didn't go in and my wife Amy went in alone to see our daughter's work. I went back outside and waited in the car - I was so angry. I am a parent - not a paedophile. 'Does the school really think we're going to go in waving a camera around taking pictures of other kids? You can't treat the whole world like they're paedophiles - we're parents.' Tregolls School defended the decision, and said they had introduced the ruling as the 'ultimate safeguard' last year and said it even applies to teachers and other staff. Posters detailing the policy are displayed on the main entrance door to the school. Sara Cadge, chair of governors at the school, said: 'The rule applies to absolutely everyone. 'When Henry Winkler the American actor came here he handed in his phone and when Ofsted inspectors visited they did as well. We felt this was the ultimate safeguarding solution. 'When it was introduced last year, it was off the back of very high profile cases in London where teachers had actually been found guilty of inappropriate behaviour. 'Our staff said they never want those accusations coming their way. It is to protect themselves and to protect the children. 'We can also not have children in the school being put onto social media inadvertently.' A spokesman for the Department of Education said such a policy would be a matter for the individual school. It comes just months after the issue of photographing children in schools made headlines after parents were ordered to remove a video of their daughter's nativity from social media. Tregolls School, pictured, defended the decision, and said they had introduced the ruling last year as the 'ultimate safeguard' and said it even applies to all guests, teachers and other staff .

<s>[INST] What's the gist of this passage? WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A senior administration official said Henry Louis Gates Jr. and Sgt. James Crowley of the Cambridge, Massachusetts, Police Department will be visiting the White House Thursday. President Obama will meet Thursday with a Harvard professor and the officer who arrested him. The meeting among the three men will take place at 6 p.m. Thursday. Last week, Obama said he called Crowley and "there was a discussion about he and I and Professor Gates having a beer here in the White House." Gibbs said: "I think it was Sgt. Crowley's suggestion about the beer, and I think the president thought it was a good idea." Obama said he hoped the incident in Cambridge, which quickly spiraled into a national and racially charged controversy, "ends up being what's called a teachable moment" for the country. The president acknowledged that he had contributed to "ratcheting it up" by declaring the Police Department had "acted stupidly" even though he didn't know all the facts of the case and is a personal friend of Gates. Cambridge police called on Obama to apologize for the remark. Obama did not apologize, but in the phone call with Crowley he said his choice of words was "unfortunate." Gates, a top African-American scholar, was arrested July 16 for disorderly conduct outside his home after police responded to a report of a possible burglary. The charge was later dropped. Gates called himself the victim of a "rogue" officer. But he said Friday he looks forward to meeting with Obama and Crowley, and to making the experience "a teaching moment to improve racial relations in America." Crowley said Gates accused him of racism when he was at the home simply trying to do his job and assuring that Gates was safe and alone in the home. Cambridge police officials have praised Crowley, who in recent years had been selected by a black police officer to teach a police academy course on how to avoid racial profiling. Officials said they take pride in their relationship with the diverse community in the area. Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas said he "deeply regrets" the arrest, but stands by the procedures his department followed. iReport.com: Share stories, concerns on racial profiling . Meanwhile, authorities in Cambridge announced Monday that they have created a panel to advise police on racial issues. "Today is the day to move forward," City Manager Robert Healy said at a news conference. The committee, led by "nationally recognized experts," will not investigate the arrest of Gates, nor will it "make any judgments" on the officers involved, Healy said. The committee "will identify lessons to be taken from the circumstances surrounding the incident" and will advise the police department on how "those lessons can be applied" to its policies and practices.

Adam's ex said she feels no bitterness that he has moved on and re-married to Carol Molloy - his partner on the Channel 7 reality show - but she claims that's when her issues with child support payments began. Cindy also claimed that Adam used to coach My Kitchen Rules judge Pete on the tennis court and that the pair worked together at his Kings Cross restaurant Hugo's, in Sydney, after she split with him.

'Deadbeat dad'? The former tennis professional is alleged to be providing his children with 'no financial support at all' according to his former wife . 'We get no financial support at all,' she also told Brady. Cindy claims her concern is that the large sum owning to her has amassed over the past year, which she says 'worries me considerably in that my youngest is only 8 - he has many more years where he needs support from his father.' 'The children also have no emotional support from him. He does not ring them, nor come and see them,' she said, adding 'they do not receive a card [for birthdays] in the mail, not even a phone call.' 'He's never played an active, massive role in their lives anyway...but basically his role now is non-existent, he's pretty much wiped his hands clean of the children,' Cindy said. Happier times: The couple were married for almost 20 years and had five children together . Ranging in age: Their kids are aged between eight years and 15 years of age . Adam's ex also claimed that the lack of funds has reached a point where it's 'significantly impacting on the children', with the blonde single mother saying she's speaking on A Current Affair instead of dealing with the matter privately because 'He has blocked my number and both his childrens' numbers - the older two girls have phones'. Cindy not only took aim at Adam during the interview but also at the Child Support Agency and producers of My Kitchen Rules.

A kindergarten teacher from Virginia pleaded guilty Tuesday in Franklin County to trying to have her ex-husband assassinated. Angela Nolen, wearing an orange jail-issued jumpsuit, wiped away tears during the sentencing hearing in Franklin County Circuit Court. She pleaded guilty to solicit to commit murder. Police say the 47-year-old Sontag Elementary School teacher paid an undercover state police agent $4,000 to kill Paul Strickler, 64, a retired school administrator. She planned to pay another $4,000 after her ex-husband was killed. Court records show Nolen and Strickler were granted a divorce in December 2012. Admission of guilt: Angela Nolen, a teacher at Sontag Elementary School in Rocky Mount, Va., pleaded guilty to hiring a hit man to kill her ex-husband Paul Strickler, 64. She accused him of abusing her and their daughter . Nolen had been scheduled to stand trial in July. She faces up to 40 years in prison when she is sentenced August 9. Her attorney, David Furrow, said in court that he plans to call in a number of witnesses to testify on his client's behalf, Roanoke Times reported. A . co-defendant, school nurse Cathy Bennett, 37, of Rocky Mount, has been . charged with conspiracy for allegedly helping Nolen in her plot. Bennett remains free after posting $75,000 bond in February. Her trial is set for July 15. Nolen was arrested in February and charged . with solicitation to commit murder on her ex-husband, Paul Strickler. However, her plan unraveled as the kindergarten teacher hired an . undercover state police officer. Punishment: Nolen (center), 47, could face up to 40 years in prison when she is sentenced next month . The teacher told the man she believed . to be an assassin that her ex-husband posed danger to her and their . child, and said she wanted 'something that would eliminate him from this . earth without me being in fear constantly.' By all accounts, the couple's decade-long relationship had been a turbulent one, marked by allegations of infidelity and violence. Strickler told the paper that they were trying to work out plans so that Nolen could buy him out of their home. After . Mr Strickler was alerted by state police that Nolen had allegedly put a . price on his head, he speculated that if he was dead, his ex-wife would . not have to pay him a dime for the house. Grave crime: Nolen, left, a kindergarten teacher, was arrested in February and charged with soliciting a hit man; her friend and school nurse Cathy Warren Bennett was charged as being an accomplice . Murder for hire: Cathy Warren Bennett, left, 37, of Rocky Mount, speaks with her attorney at her bond hearing today; Bennett was charged with aiding in a murder-for-hire plot . Nolen was granted full custody of their adopted 7-year-old daughter and . later obtained an order of protection that barred the girl's father from . having any contact with her. The . woman had initially approached a co-worker identified as Sharon . Williams about her plan to have her ex-husband killed, and Williams then . called police and arranged for Nolen to contact Sgt. J.G. Blankenship, . who called himself 'Greg,' The Franklin News-Post reported. The law enforcement agent secretly recorded his February 19 conversation with . Nolen, which the woman's attorney introduced this week as evidence. The . transcript of the officer's chat with the woman reveals that Strickler . had allegedly abused both her and their child, and she was afraid for . her life. ‘I lay awake . at night with a knife in one hand and a phone in the other hand, . listening for any sound,” Nolen says. ‘There's a two-year protective . order in place that doesn't do me any good if he comes to my house in . the middle of the night.' On . the recording, 'Greg' proposes that Nolen pay him $10,000 for killing . her husband but later settles on $8,000, asking Nolen to pay him half of . the sum upfront. Support: Cathy Warren Bennett's family sits in the Franklin County District courtroom before Bennett's bond hearing today in Virginia . Nolen then leaves to go the bank and returns 20 minutes later with the money. 'Greg' could be heard asking Nolen if she wants her former spouse 'really . messed up' and aware that she was the one who had put the hit on him, . but Nolen rejects the offer. Throughout . their conversation, the undercover officer repeatedly reminds Nolen . that once they agree on the terms of the contract, there will be no . going back.

'Despite its self-proclaimed commitment to safety, opening the Uber app and setting the pick-up location has proven to be the modern day equivalent of electronic hitchhiking,' according to the lawsuit filed in a court in California. 'Buyer beware - we all know how those horror movies end,' the lawsuit said, accusing Uber of negligence. The woman's lawyer, Douglas H.

Brendan Rodgers and Steven Gerrard pulled no punches as they admitted Liverpool deserve to be out of the Champions League. A dismal return to Europe's premier competition ended as 10-man Liverpool were held to a 1-1 draw by Basle at Anfield. They secured five points from their six games and are now condemned to the Europa League. Liverpool were poor for most of the game and deservedly trailed to Fabian Frei's first half goal and their task looked forlorn when Lazar Markovic was sent off before Gerrard set up a grandstand finish with a free-kick.

Gerrard admitted Liverpool have not been good enough during their Champions League campaign . They would have been fortunate to get through, however, and neither Rodgers or Gerrard were looking to make excuses. ‘The big game was away in Basle where we did not play well (and lost 1-0),' said Rodgers. ‘We have no complaints. If you deserve to go through, you go through. We have not been good enough to go through. We have to take it on the chin. ‘When you don't qualify everyone gets looked upon. We wanted to qualify. We have been analysed and for us the solution is we have to do better – manager and players – the expectancy was high but this is a different group of players and squad.' Brendan Rodgers looks down in the dumps as Liverpool were eliminated from the Champions League . Gerrard and Raheem Sterling look dejected after failing to qualify for the knockout stage . Gerrard added: ‘We haven't gone out of the competition because of our performance tonight, we've gone out because away at Basle we weren't good enough, in our last game we conceded a stupid goal towards injury time. ‘You always qualify over the six games and unfortunately we haven't been good enough. We need to get our main striker Daniel Sturridge back and get some more goals in the side. We need to get Mario Balotelli back and firing. ‘That is not to take away anything from the lads who have played tonight and have slogged their guts out. Rickie Lambert has ran himself into the ground tonight, but it has just been a game too far tonight and that has been because of a lack of numbers.'

It is something we have to fight to do and something we will. ‘Of course it is managing expectation we have been out a long time and came in with a lot excitement and wanted to do well.

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? By . Kirsty Walker . Last updated at 12:16 PM on 5th August 2011 . Brainchild: PM's aide Steve Hilton . The death penalty, pulling out of Europe and withdrawing from the European Human Rights Act topped the agenda as the public yesterday got the chance to decide what Parliament debates. The Government launched its ‘e-petition' website with the promise to consider discussing any subject which attracts 100,000 signatures. Passions ran so high that the site continually crashed as thousands sought to raise issues that politicians usually shy away from. Other popular subjects included calls for the legalisation of cannabis and Formula One to be kept on BBC. But last night the subject attracting the most interest, with 6,000 names, was the death penalty – with calls for and against. Forty of the 200 most subscribed petitions called for the return of capital punishment. Seven of the top 200, including the top one with 3,000 signatures, called for it not to be reinstated. The issue now looks certain to attract enough signatures for it to be debated in Parliament for the first time since 1998, and a vote could follow. Among the most prominent pro-death penalty e-petitions is one calling for child killers and those who murder on-duty police officers to be executed. More than 1,000 people a minute visited the website yesterday. Writing in the Daily Mail yesterday, the Leader of the House of Commons, Sir George Young, warned that MPs cannot ignore the popular groundswell. But critics warned that the e-petitions would allow the Commons to be hijacked by special interest campaigns and mean MPs spending precious Parliamentary time on proposals that have little or no chance of becoming law. Popular petitions included calls for Britain to withdraw from the EU and the European Human Rights Act, an absolute right to self defence in your own home and the decriminalisation of drugs. Others called for prisoners' diets be restricted to bread and water as in the ‘good old days'. Fail: The highly-anticipated e-petition website crashed within hours of going live . And there were several bizarre petitions including demands that bodybuilding be encouraged to improve the nation's health, and calls to make it a criminal offence to cruise along in the middle lane of motorways. No 10's previous e-petition site was suspended ahead of the general election then shelved by the Coalition. But it has been resurrected by David Cameron's director of strategy, Steve Hilton, with the promise that those that attract more than 100,000 signatures will be considered for debate in Parliament. Several Tory MPs have said they will back calls to reintroduce the death sentence. The last hangings in Britain were in 1964. Tory MP Philip Davies said the public was sick of seeing criminals freed from prison committing further crimes. Sir George Young wrote in the Daily Mail yesterday that the death penalty is likely to be discussed by Parliament . He said: ‘We should recognise that with advances in technology and DNA the chances of getting somebody wrong for a crime like murder is much more remote than it was in the past. ‘If at the very least this debate ends up with us going back to what we were promised at the time the death penalty was repealed – which was that murderers will spend the rest of their days in prison – then the debate will have served the country well.' Another Tory MP, Andrew Turner, said: ‘It is about time we had a national debate in Parliament. The number of murders was about half in the 1950s. ‘The state makes the decision about drugs, it makes the decision about young men and women being sent to war and it talks about abortion. Why are those so different that this particular issue can't be talked about?' But fellow Tory MP Dr Kwasi Kwarteng said he would fight attempts to restore the death penalty. He said: ‘The real clincher for me is that you can always get the wrong people and that is a terrible, terrible tragedy.' Tory MP Douglas Carswell said: ‘Too many politicians come from safe seats which means they only answer to other politicians. They have refused to discuss a lot of issues that matter to a lot of people.' Any petition signed by more than 100,000 UK citizens goes to the cross-party Commons backbench business committee, which will decide whether it is worthy of debate. This does not mean any parliamentary bills will be tabled as a result, simply that the matter will be discussed. A spokesman for DirectGov, which runs the e-petitions website, acknowledged that many users had experienced difficulties. ‘We apologise for any inconvenience. This is a result of greater-than-expected demand,' he said. [/INST] Website crashed repeatedly as thousands log on . 6,000 back calls for Parliament to discuss death penalty .

A miniature donkey, born with a deformed leg, is thriving after being fitted with one of the first prosthetic limbs to be created by equine surgeons. The young foal named Emma had her hind leg amputated at just two days old because it stopped her from standing. But she is now enjoying a new lease of life after vets at Auburn University, Alabama, managed to create a special artificial leg for her, similar to those used by Paralympic athletes. Scroll down for video . Miniature donkey Emma, pictured with her owner Cece Smith, proudly displaying her prosthesis limb which allows her to stand . The leg needs to be replaced every few months until Emma is fully grown, but at five months old, she is able to run around with the rest of her herd. She is now on her second prosthesis and experts predict she will need about seven different legs before she reaches adulthood. Dr Fred Caldwell, an assistant professor in the Department of Clinical Sciences and equine surgeon at the university, performed the procedure and is working with clinician Billy Fletcher from Hanger Clinic. The clinic is part of the same company which created a prosthetic tail for Winter, the amputee dolphin and star of the film ‘Dolphin Tale', who lost her tail after she was caught in a crab trap off the coast of Florida. Thanks to the artificial limb Emma can run around and jump like the rest of the group . She was fitted with the pink prosthesis after surgeons amputated her severely deformed leg which stopped her from walking . Dolphin trainer Cammie Zodrow with Winter the dolphin, who was fitted with a prosthetic tail by the same company who fitted Emma the miniature donkey with an artificial limb . The two worked out a plan to allow Emma time to heal from the surgery and transition from her cast to the prosthesis. Dr . Caldwell said: ‘Once we proceeded with the surgery and amputated the . distal limb, he provided a small footplate to incorporate into the cast . to even out the length of her hind limbs so she could bear weight until . we could get the surgical site healed and have her fitted with a . prosthesis. ‘It has been a group effort on behalf of many caring individuals willing to go to great lengths to save her.' Emma's case is providing a unique teaching opportunity for the clinicians involved, as the practice of using prostheses with large horses is relatively uncommon due to size and weight-bearing limitations. But because Emma is a miniature donkey, even as an adult she will only weigh approximately 350 pounds once fully grown. A team of doctors and surgeons from Auburn University, Alabama, carefully fit Emma with her latest prosthesis . The veterinary team are excited at Emma's progress since she was fitted with the prosthetuic limb - which could soon be an option for all horses . Dr Caldwell added: ‘She absolutely loved it from the start. It was a very impressive design and she did very well in it. A close-up of Emma's first prosthetic limb which has enabled her to run . ‘She has progressed to the second . iteration of her prosthesis, which doesn't incorporate as much of the . limb and allows her more range of motion. She is getting stronger; she's . growing and doing wonderfully.' The . prosthesis is made of carbon fibre, Kevlar and fibreglass, materials . that are strong and extremely light, and the same as though used for . prostheses for Paralympic athletes. The first finished prosthesis weighed less than a pound and the most recent iteration, which is pink, is smaller, but weighs a little more to provide stability as she's grown taller and almost doubled her weight since surgery. Prosthesis expert Billy said: ‘The next step is trying to make sure we keep the prosthesis set up so she's ambulatory and she can run and play and do things uninhibited, but also, to keep the area of concern, the surgical site, offloaded so Dr Caldwell can do his job in keeping her completely healed. ‘As time goes by, we'll continue to provide a prosthesis that's going to allow for growth. ‘We want to provide her with full range of motion, but also give her the ability to use full strength.' Dr Caldwell added: ‘It's been very educational for me as an equine surgeon to learn; this has certainly been my first case. ‘I think we have a long way to go before we get to this being a procedure that's routinely an option for our larger patients, but for a prosthetic limb to be an option in horses is something that's pretty exciting.'

When Jack and Amanda got married ten years ago, their friends and families joked that they were joined at the hip. 'We spent every free minute with each other,' Amanda told me. 'We'd go for long walks and cook supper. We loved the cinema, entertaining friends, adventurous holidays - and we had a great sex life.' But by the time Jack, 42, and Amanda, 41, came to see me for marital advice earlier this year, their pleasure in one another was a distant memory. It all changed when their children came along - daughter Emily, now eight, and their son, Tom, six. The couple admitted they had slept together only a handful of times since Tom's birth, had almost stopped talking to each other - and were at breaking point. Who's the boss? Always putting your child's needs first can ruin your marriage says a therapist (posed by models) With their children now 'the centre of their lives', as they both proudly described it, they had moved out of London to a bigger house with a family-size garden. As a result, Jack was spending long hours commuting, while the couple's free time was dominated by Emily and Tom's needs and even their social lives. 'We just want the best for them,' explained Amanda. 'Like all their friends, our two have after-school clubs most evenings. I spend much of my time ferrying the children to and from school, piano lessons, dance classes and tutors. They have swimming on a Saturday morning, and birthday parties in the afternoon and on Sunday. If we do have any free time left at the weekend, I make sure we do things the kids enjoy.' 'With the children hanging on to me and calling for me all the time, I just don't have the energy to ask Jack about his day at work, let alone have sex with him' That left Jack either falling asleep in front of the television after a long day at work or trying to be a 'good dad' by playing games with the children, with Amanda feeling ignored and under-valued at home as she struggled through the monotonous grind of cooking, cleaning and servicing the family's needs. 'With the children hanging on to me and calling for me all the time, I just don't have the energy to ask Jack about his day at work, let alone have sex with him.' Jack too, was deeply unhappy, insisting he was the very last of Amanda's priorities, beneath the children, housework, shopping and the family dog. 'Sometimes I wish Amanda and I could have some days to ourselves, when we don't follow the kids' timetable,' he said. 'It would be nice to go out as a couple, but the kids make such a fuss about being left with babysitters that we can't relax.' Worst of all, he confessed he and Amanda no longer slept in the same bed. 'The children have got into the habit of sleeping in our bed with Amanda, so it's just easier if I sleep in the spare room because I have to get up so early.' Marriage killer: Many parents don't want to acknowledge how overindulging their child has placed a wedge between them (posed by models) As a marital therapist, I have spent almost 30 years helping couples turn around their relationships and fall back in love again. I've written 11 books on the subject, answered countless letters to my website, given talks and appeared on numerous radio and TV shows. And it seems to me one fundamental issue is driving so much of the misery I encounter now: how to stop your children ruining your marriage. I know from experience that most parents don't want to hear my message. When they are giving their all to their children, they don't want to think they might ironically be creating the wedge that will eventually force them apart. But 'red carpet' kids, as I call them, are an increasingly common phenomenon. 'Prioritise your child's football practice over household chores and everyone else's activities, and you send the message that they are all-important' I've given them this nickname because, like mini-celebrities, who are cared for and indulged to the detriment of everyone else in the family. If you're not careful, they can kill your marriage stone dead. So why do we do we spoil our children like this? Firstly, it makes life easier in the short-term. Jack and Amanda let their children sleep in their bed because a peaceful night in the spare room is easier than a full-on fight at bedtime. Parental guilt also plays a part. There are any number of reasons for modern parents to feel guilty: not spending enough time with their children, not being able to afford everything their children want or need, losing their temper because they're stressed, not feeling 'good enough'... Children target adult guilt to get what they want. And finally, we all want to be liked. Too many parents are so fearful of upsetting their children and losing their 'friendship', they struggle to discipline them effectively. Survival guide: Andrew G Marshall has written a book on how to childproof your marriage . The long-term consequences of all this are just as disastrous for the child as the parents' relationship. Prioritise your child's football practice over household chores and everyone else's activities, and you send the message that they are all-important. Too important, even. Letting your child choose what you all eat, where you go and even their own bedtime sounds like every child's dream – but you are effectively making them 'head of the household'. Children who regularly wield this power at home struggle to make friends in the outside world as they haven't learned how to negotiate with, or defer to, others. Nearing adulthood once meant new privileges and freedoms. But today's red-carpet children, who already have everything they could wish for and rarely hear the word no? They end up reluctant to leave home. A lot of parents are so busy taking photographs and applauding as their children walk the metaphorical 'red carpet', they don't see the problems they are creating until devastation is upon them. Don't let that be you. As I explained to Amanda and Jack, change is always possible. Just because something has been done one way until now doesn't mean it must continue. By learning to apply some of my very simple rules for family harmony, Amanda and Jack were able to improve their relationships with each other and their children beyond all recognition. So start rolling up the red carpet, and get your family and your marriage back on track too. 1. Put your children last. Prioritising . your partner over your children is good for your marriage and your . kids. Of course, there will be exceptions – if the children are ill, or . their first day at school and so on, but otherwise make sure you and . your partner go out for dinner together, send the kids to bed early, do . things the two of you love to do together. A happy marriage makes happy . children. 2. Be a 'good enough' parent. Accept . you're not perfect, that every parent makes mistakes and it's not the . end of the world if you send your child to school in a hastily . cobbled-together costume for the school play. 3. Recognise Your Needs. I . have met many mothers and fathers who, after years of downgrading their . own needs, felt 'entitled to do something for myself for once' - and . had an affair. Always putting your children first can cause resentment . to rebound in extraordinary acts of selfishness. Have a good think about . what YOU want and need in your relationship and family life – and make . sure you get it. 4. Talk. Make . sure you talk through your problems – don't silently hope they'll go . away. Problems fester if you don't get them out in the open. 5. Put a lock on your bedroom door. You . wouldn't barge into a teenager's bedroom unannounced, so don't let your . children do it to you. Give yourself some privacy as a couple – they . can always shout 'Fire!' if they're in trouble. 6. Greet your partner first when he or she walks through the door – not your children. It shows how important they are to you. 7. Don't let your children interrupt when you are talking to each other. 8. Make unilateral decisions about your children. Parent as a team and don't compete for popularity with your children. 9. Prioritise sex. Intimacy keeps a relationship alive. Send the children to the grandparents for the night. It's important. 10. Make the children responsible for tasks around the house, so there's more time for you to be partners rather than servants.

As Liverpool chase fourth spot in the Premier League and another place at Europe's top table, Brendan Rodgers will be well aware of the improvement his side must make on the continent. Thursday night's penalty shootout defeat by Besiktas in Istanbul ended their Europa League campaign at the first hurdle, just two-and-a-half months on from Champions League disappointment.

A drop into UEFA's secondary competition followed but Raheem Sterling and Co couldn't reproduce their domestic form at the Ataturk Stadium, falling to a 1-0 defeat on the night before exiting via spot-kicks. The result completed what has been a miserable season in Europe for Rodgers, a manager whose lack of experience has told since the Reds' first nervy, narrow win at home to Bulgarian minnows Ludogorets in September. The statistics make for grim reading - played eight, lost four, won two, drawn two and just six goals scored, two of which were penalties.

Home and away defeats by Real Madrid were to be expected to some extent, but failing to beat Ludogorets away and losing to Basel were unacceptable results. The dominance of Carlo Ancelotti's men meant that Rodgers still had a chance to lead his side through to the last 16 on matchday six but again they faltered, only managing a 1-1 draw at home to the Swiss champions when they had to win. They finished the group stage with just one victory, five points and five goals scored. After working so hard to end the club's Champions League absence, the players didn't do themselves justice.

<s>[INST] Provide a summary for this text: By . Chris Wheeler . Follow @@ChrisWheelerDM . Louis van Gaal is unlikely to get carried away by the fact that Manchester United touched down in England with the Guinness International Cup in their possession. The Dutchman is experienced enough to know that victories like the one over Liverpool in the final in Miami might score a few points with the supporters but are worth very little else. There are far bigger tests to come. However, the manager he defeated at the Sun Life Stadium believes the new United boss might still be in for a rude awakening when the new Premier League season starts a week on Saturday. VIDEO Scroll down for Louis van Gaal closely supervising Manchester United training . Looking good: Wayne Rooney scored in the win over Liverpool in Miami . Brendan Rodgers warned that Van Gaal will not have experienced the type of intense competition inherent to English football during his spells in charge at Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Ajax, in countries where one or two clubs routinely dominate. Van Gaal has won titles at all three clubs in Spain, Germany and Holland. But Rodgers believes he will have a battle on his hands to add the Premier League to that list. ‘I think he'll find the competition in this league will be different to any other league that he's worked in,' said the Liverpool boss. ‘In a lot of the other leagues, there are one or two teams and those are the teams that are expected to win. Silver lining: Darren Fletcher and Rooney celebrate with the Guinness International Champions Cup . Ajax (Sept, 1991) The Dutch powerhouses had won only one of the previous six league titles but Van Gaal, in his first managerial post, went on to win a hat-trick of titles, a Champions League trophy and a UEFA Super Cup. Barcelona (July, 1997) Taking over from Bobby Robson, Van Gaal won two back-to-back league titles and a Copa del Rey. AZ Alkmaar (July, 2005) Alkmaar had established a reputation as a solid, mid-table club. Van Gaal mounted a title challenge in his first season and after an 11th-placed blip in 2007-08, won their first title in 28 years. ‘This is a league where the top team plays the bottom team and on any given day you can lose. ‘I think the competition will probably take him by (surprise), and that's from foreign managers I have spoken to over the years. 'I've worked closely with foreign players, and that real physical competitive nature will be different to anywhere else he's worked before.' Liverpool certainly did their best to emphasise the point in Miami. Steven Gerrard put them ahead from the penalty spot and last season's runners-up could have been more goals to the good before United hit back to win 3-1 with second-half strikes from Wayne Rooney, Juan Mata and Jesse Lingard. It means Van Gaal won all five games on tour, albeit beating Inter Milan on penalties. When Rodgers' comments were put to the United boss, he responded with the smile of a man who knows what to expect. All together: Juan Mata is mobbed by his teammates after his goal . VIDEO Van Gaal wants reinforcements . Touching down: Louis van Gaal arrives back in Manchester after winning in America . ‘That's why I'm here,' said Van Gaal. ‘OK maybe he is right because I have to experience that, but I was also in Spain and in my first year I won three titles. In Germany I won two titles. If I win one here, we will all be happy.' Asked the value of winning the tournament, he replied: ‘Nothing. It's nice for the fans in the USA — also at home — that we beat Liverpool. It's not our favourite opponent, I think, for Man United fans. We've given a lot of pleasure to these fans and that's very important. ‘Of course it is better to win in pre-season than to lose. But the most important game is Swansea at home in the first game, that's the one we have to win.' As well as managing two top clubs in close proximity to one another, Van Gaal and Rodgers also work under American owners. Although the Northern Irishman spoke of his respect for his new rival and his belief that United will be title challengers again this season, he still believes Van Gaal's predecessor David Moyes was let down by the Glazers during his ill-fated season in charge at Old Trafford. ‘I think there were a lot of things at Manchester United that were not seen by many,' said Rodgers. ‘David had to go in and where I felt for him is that he thought he was getting time. He signed a long-term deal and thought he had that longevity. It just shows you. You have to win games and hopefully then you get the chance. That's where I'm very fortunate here. I've got brilliant owners. I've been clear in terms of how I've wanted to work and I've been able to work.' Warning: Brendan Rodgers says Louis van Gaal will find managing Manchester United tough . Asked if United can emulate Liverpool by recovering from a seventh-place finish to challenge for the title again, Rodgers said: ‘I think it will be a totally different mindset. Domestically, for the last 20 years they've been champions 13 times. So they already have something in place. When I came to Liverpool, we were eighth at the time and the club was nearly going out of business, so it's totally different. ‘The United players will be disappointed with where they finished last year, of course. With the quality they have, they will want to push on.' [/INST] Manchester United beat Liverpool in the final of the International Champions Cup in America .

<s>[INST] What's the gist of this passage? Anchorage, Alaska (CNN) -- It's 3 degrees and snowing outside the Alaska Volcano Observatory in Anchorage, but inside the operations center, things are heating up. Geologist Michelle Coombs monitors the Redoubt volcano from the Alaska Volcano Observatory. "This is kind of the nerve center, if you will," says geologist Michelle Coombs, who is at the helm of a bank of video monitors showing readouts from sensors on Mount Redoubt, a volcano about 100 miles southwest of Anchorage. The sensors measure seismic activity on the volcano's summit. Scientists at the observatory combine that information with data gathered from daily airplane flights to the volcano to measure gases and try to figure out if and when Redoubt is going to blow. "We're seeing lots of little earthquakes right now," says Coombs. "As that magma rises, it breaks rock as it gets to the surface, and it also it gives off gases, and that leads to the seismic activities were seeing now." When the magma, or molten rock, makes it to the surface, the volcano will erupt. A siren goes off, and one of the video monitors goes haywire. Is the mountain erupting? Learn more about Mount Redoubt » . "That's just a little alarm. There was just a little bit of increased seismic activity," Coombs says reassuringly. "It's a special kind of earthquake particular to volcanoes called a long-period earthquake. It has more to do with fluid and gases than with breaking rock." Watch Coombs keeping an eye on Redoubt » . Since the monitors first showed increased activity on January 23, the observatory has been staffed 24 hours a day. Scientists here are calling in reinforcements; several geologists from the Lower 48 have been making their way north to help. Coombs thinks Redoubt will erupt within days or weeks. No one lives near the mountain, which sits on the Cook Inlet and is largely surrounded by glacier ice. That means there is no direct danger from lava flows, but huge clouds of ash could spread throughout Alaska. When Redoubt last erupted in 1989, it spread ash across Alaska for five months. "Geologists like to use the past as a key to the future, and previous historical eruptions of Redoubt have produced ash clouds of up to 40,000 feet above sea level," says Coombs. She notes that at current weather conditions, "it would take about three hours for that ash to leave the volcano and arrive in Anchorage." The ash is composed largely of silica, which is similar to tiny fragments of glass. Down on the ground, the ash can be dangerous to breath in and can damage cars as their engines draw the ash into their engines. But it is usually a nuisance. However, in the sky, the ash clouds can create very dangerous flying conditions for jets. "For jet aviation, it's a very severe hazard because jet engines run at a very high temperature. And once that silica-rich ash gets ingested into the engine, it can remelt and coat the insides of the engines and freeze up those engines," says Coombs. "That's really the major thing we are trying to avoid here." The day after the 1989 eruption of Redoubt, a 747 flew into an ash cloud near Anchorage and all four engines stalled. The pilot was able to get two of the engines restarted, and the plane landed safely. Coombs says airspace around the volcano and Anchorage may be closed if Redoubt erupts. When the alarms aren't blaring, Coombs sends out the official Twitter feeds from the observatory and tries to stay warm. She is eight months' pregnant. "People have been joking, 'Are you going to name him redoubt?' " she says with a laugh, then shakes her head and gets back to her monitors.

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? (CNN) -- Through sports, Scott Strode was able to overcome his addiction to drugs and alcohol. He worked out in a boxing gym, got involved with triathlons and climbing, and made new friends who supported him through his transition. Encouraged by his success, Strode wanted to help others deal with their own addiction. So in 2007, he started a nonprofit, Phoenix Multisport. Phoenix Multisport has provided free athletic activities and a sober support community to more than 6,000 participants in Colorado. It offers dozens of programs every week, from casual walks and yoga to mountain biking and ice climbing. CNN asked Strode for his thoughts on being chosen as one of the top 10 CNN Heroes of 2012. CNN: What do you hope this recognition will mean for Phoenix Multisport? Scott Strode: My hope is that sharing this story on the national stage will help Phoenix Multisport reach the angel donors that we need to support our current work and help us expand nationally. More than 23 million people over the age of 12 in the U.S. are struggling with addiction and need treatment. Of those, only about 10% get treatment. When I got sober, I was alone and didn't know what to do. I knew I couldn't go back to using or I was going to die. Finding others living a sober, healthy lifestyle and finding hope and happiness in sobriety were gifts that saved my life. I knew I had to give this gift to others. There are millions out there in the dark days of their addiction, alone, trying to figure out how to stay alive. I hope that sharing my story and the story of Phoenix Multisport does two things. First, I want those who are addicted and those who love them to know they are not alone and that there is hope. Second, everyone knows someone who has struggled with addiction. It may be your mother, cousin, friend, co-worker, admired athlete, movie star or musician, but we are all well aware of how bad things can get when addiction takes over. It is my hope that by sharing this story on the national stage, people will realize recovery is possible. Who should be the CNN Hero of the Year? Cast your vote now! Phoenix is only in existence because of the support we receive from donors. It is my ultimate hope that this amazing opportunity allows us to reach donors who can help us create a sober active community in cities and towns across the nation. By supporting Phoenix Multisport financially, donors can make recovery possible for millions nationally and we can break the cycle of addiction so future generations don't have to grow up under the shadow of alcoholism or drug addiction. CNN: What was the reaction when you found out you were a top 10 CNN Hero? Strode: I was deeply moved. (Our) staff and supporters have been working so hard for several years to help build the Phoenix Multisport sober active community. Telling the successes of this story I believe will help rally other supporters around us, allowing Phoenix Multisport to reach thousands more with our programs. (We) and our supporters were overjoyed by the acknowledgement of our work. So rarely is the recovery side of addiction discussed in the media, so Phoenix Multisport felt honored to share the telling of this story of recovery and hope with CNN and its audience. CNN: How will you use the $50,000 award you receive for being selected as a top 10 CNN Hero? Strode: Phoenix Multisport has always had the goal of having chapters in cities across the country. And with this recognition from CNN, we believe this dream will come true, allowing Phoenix's programs to reach others battling the darkness of addiction. We believe that recovery heals individuals and families. CNN: What do you want people to know most about your work? Strode: Phoenix Multisport prides itself on our ability to help recovering addicts and alcoholics repair their self-esteem. Many of us in recovery had our dreams stripped away during our alcohol and drug use. The Phoenix Multisport community helps give those dreams back through standing on top of mountains and crossing finish lines. We also help those in recovery let go of some of the shame associated with their addiction by wearing a Phoenix T-shirt or bike jersey.

<s>[INST] What can you get from the text: (CNN) -- On a cold, rainy night in late November, Douglas Wright sat amid brambles and thick East Texas underbrush, watching over the body of his 28-year-old son, Alfred, who had disappeared almost three weeks earlier. "His spirits got to me: 'Daddy, I knew you would find me,'" Wright says, recalling the relief that had washed over him. Sabine County sheriff's deputies had searched for Alfred Wright but didn't find him, and volunteer searchers later found his body, his family says. A medical examiner says the death was accidental, but the family rejects that notion, citing what a different pathologist says appears to be "severe trauma" to his body. The Texas Rangers and FBI are investigating. Alfred Wright was last seen around dusk on November 7. The physical therapist was on his way to treat a patient. He had been having trouble with his pickup and pulled into CL&M Grocer, one of the few stores along an isolated stretch of Route 87. He called his wife, Lauren, and gave her directions to the store. Because their two young sons were home sick, she called his parents, who immediately left on the hourlong drive. What happened next changed everything. "The last time I called him, I just heard heavy breathing. He was in distress of some sort. He was not responding to anything I was saying," Lauren Wright says. Around 6 p.m., Alfred Wright disappeared from where he was last seen alive. When his parents arrived about 20 minutes later, his truck was in the parking lot, but he was nowhere to be seen. His father asked the store clerk what happened. He says she told him that she was out having a smoke when Wright "all of a sudden put his cell phone in his sock and took off like the truck was going to blow up." The clerk did not want to be interviewed on camera but did tell CNN that Wright "left on his own free will," a phrase she repeated several times. The next day, his personal effects, including his watch and ID, turned up on a nearby ranch. Deputies searched the property with cadaver dogs. His family says it was told by the deputies that Wright's scent had "disappeared" at a nearby creek. Four days after Wright vanished, Sabine County Sheriff Thomas Maddox called off the search, telling the family, "Your son's just a missing person. My guys are tired. We've exhausted our resources and funds. We're done," family lawyer Ryan MacLeod says. Family members say the sheriff told them that "there was no foul play" and that Wright's disappearance was probably "drug-related," most likely related to methamphetamine. The sheriff's daughter and Wright apparently knew each other through their health care jobs, which made the sheriff's actions even more surprising to the Wrights, who were left to search for their son on their own. He had been missing for 19 days when, during Thanksgiving week, dozens of volunteers did their own search in the cold and rain. Wright's body was found nearly three weeks after his truck broke down, in an area of the ranch supposedly already searched by deputies. 'He was neatly laid' Walking to the spot, Douglas Wright describes the position in which his son lay: "His head was in this area, and his feet was back here. He was just, if I might say, he was neatly laid. He was neatly laid." Alfred Wright was wearing only boxer shorts, tennis shoes and a single sock, inside of which was his cell phone, just as the clerk had described. The second sock was under the body. "I was told by the mortician at the autopsy that when they pulled off his left sock, his keys was under his left foot in his shoe," his father says. "What was weird about his sock," says his father, is that it "was clean, and his sock was pulled up with his phone stuck in it as if he was in a Sunday school class. Neat. His tennis shoes was very clean." And not just the position of the body seemed strange. "This is the first thing I noticed -- how smooth his forearms and his back was. No scratches at all," his father says. After just one day, he and the other volunteers were caked in mud and their clothing torn from brambles, he says. Alfred Wright was missing an ear, two front teeth, and his throat appeared to be cut. The medical examiner attributed the trauma to "animal and insect activity." What's more, in an echo of the sheriff's prediction, the coroner's toxicology report described Wright's body as filled with drugs -- cocaine, meth and amphetamines. His death was ruled "accidental" due to a "combined drug intoxication." His family doesn't believe it. Family members say they never saw him do drugs, nor had his personality changed to suggest he was using drugs. They say he was the fun-loving, hardworking father he had always been. They want to know if the drugs entered his body while he was missing. Suspicious of the investigation, the family hired their own pathologist, who ultimately did a separate autopsy and, contrary to the medical examiner, found what appears to be "severe trauma to the neck and head." A month after Wright's body was found, Maddox handed the investigation over to the Texas Rangers. They have called the death "questionable" and say the autopsy is just one part of an active investigation. The week CNN was in Sabine County, the Texas Rangers announced they had called in the FBI to assist. After Alfred Wright's death, wife Lauren went through bank records. She found three charges her husband made at local hotels when she and the children were away the month before he died.

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? (CareerBuilder.com) -- Some people view an MBA degree the same way that Charlie thought about his Golden Ticket in "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory": They believe a piece of paper can magically transport you to a place you only imagined. But can this addition to your résumé really be your dream ticket? Yes. No. Maybe. There are no simple answers, but here are ways that an MBA might help you. MBA could get you hired in a tough economy . Let's face it: If you had your pick between two candidates -- one with a BBA and one with an MBA -- who were both qualified for a job, wouldn't you take the one with the higher degree? Because of the recession's affect on employment, many companies have a wealth of talent to pick from at the moment and some can afford to be choosy in their hiring. Candidates need to score every point possible, and a graduate degree may give that extra edge. Read students trying to get a job in the tough economy . "A category of jobs that begins to show up more in a recession is one that says MBA desired or preferred versus MBA required," says Dennis Grindle, director of the SMU Cox School of Business MBA Career Management Center in Dallas, Tex. "These jobs tend to pay somewhere in between a BBA and an MBA. This allows an MBA to get into what they want to do by taking a step back to hopefully go forward later when economic times get better." MBA may get you where you want to go faster . "Having an MBA -- as opposed to just a bachelor's degree in business -- is sort of like traveling someplace by plane instead of taking the train. With either business degree, you may eventually wind up at your final 'destination' -- but the MBA will get you there faster," says Elizabeth Freedman, author of "The MBA Student's Job-Seeking Bible" and "Work 101: Learning the Ropes of the Workplace Without Hanging Yourself." Read top job hot spots for the next decade . Some of the opportunities an MBA degree may jump-start include: . • Managing larger teams • Running meetings • Greater interaction with clients • More decision-making power • Representing the company at events • "Choicer" projects • Responsibility for your own set of clients/projects . MBA is sometimes expected . "In certain organizations (top-tier consulting firms, for instance), having an MBA or an advanced degree is practically a requirement for certain positions," Freedman notes. "It's hard to move up without that credential, no matter how talented." In this situation, the degree basically becomes a minimum qualification -- not your ace in the hole. To land the position, you are then expected to bring what Grindle calls "an A+ game" to the table, meaning that you have everything the employer is looking for and then some. Grindle notes that whether a function requires an MBA or not may vary by company size, industry, state of the economy, and even geographical location. Still, there are fields that commonly utilize MBAs, including: . • Consumer Brand Marketing • Corporation Finance • Venture Capital • Investment Banking • Commercial Banking • Production/Operations Management • New Product Development • Management Consulting • Private Equity • Strategic Planning/Business Development . MBA can round out an education . Some workers hold undergraduate degrees in fields other than business. By seeking an MBA, these employees can fill in possible gaps in their education as well as show their commitment to their field. Likewise, a person who already holds an undergraduate business degree but perhaps has been working in a different area can update his skills by seeking a graduate degree. The decision whether or not to pursue an MBA is a tough one. It involves serious thought about money, time and career goals. But for those who decide that getting an MBA is the path they wish to take, the degree might open up a whole new world of possibilities. &copy CareerBuilder.com 2011. All rights reserved.

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? JERUSALEM (CNN) -- Clashes between Hamas militants and Israeli soldiers raged to the north and east of densely populated Gaza City early Sunday, the 16th day of an Israeli offensive, witnesses and medical sources said. A photo provided by the Israel Defense Forces shows troops in Gaza on Saturday. Heavy gunfire could be heard to the east of Gaza City -- home to about 400,000 of Gaza's 1.5 million people -- as fighting moved closer, according to a CNN stringer in the area. Israeli shelling north of the city killed two people, sources at Shifa hospital told CNN. Sunday's fighting came after one girl was killed and 49 other people were severely burned by fires caused by Israeli shelling in southern Gaza on Saturday, local hospital sources said. The shelling ignited several buildings, including a U.N. school, near the city of Khan Younes, sources said. The girl died of burns she suffered in one of the fires, the sources said. Also Saturday, a family of nine was killed when a shell hit their home in the village of Jebalya in northern Gaza, Palestinian medical sources said. The Israeli military was "not operating in the area of this house, and no fire was directed in that direction," a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces said. Later Saturday, the IDF said that two rocket-launching squads near Jebalya were hit. Meanwhile, Hamas militants fired 20 Grad long-range rockets into Israel on Saturday, injuring four civilians, according to an IDF spokesman. And the Hamas commander in charge of launching rockets into Israel from the Gaza City area was killed Saturday by Israeli ground fire, the IDF said. Amir Mansi was spotted firing a rocket Saturday from the Jabel Rise area, east of Gaza City, during a ground force operation, the IDF said. Israeli forces opened fire, killing Mansi and wounding two other Hamas operatives, who were captured, the Israelis said. Watch what overnight air attacks did » . Mansi was the leading Hamas authority on the Grad long-range missile-launching system, the IDF said. Grad rockets have allowed Hamas to reach farther into Israel than in previous attacks. Israelis say their Gaza military operation, which started December 27, is aimed at stopping Hamas militants from sending rockets into southern Israel. The operation began with airstrikes; a week later, the Israeli military launched a ground assault. More than 800 Palestinians have been killed in the attacks, including 235 children, and about 3,300 people have been wounded, according to Palestinian medical sources. Thirteen Israelis, including 10 soldiers, have died since the operation began. See images from the offensive » . On Saturday evening, two pair of Israeli F-16 fighter jets that were on bombing runs in southern Gaza violated Egyptian airspace, a CNN team observed. "We can tell they're coming through Egyptian airspace because they're over the far side of the building where we're standing," CNN's Karl Penhaul reported from Rafah, Egypt. He was atop a building about 500 meters (547 yards) from the Gaza border. The Israelis have been bombing tunnels that run under the border of southern Gaza and Egypt. Israel says Hamas smuggles weapons and munitions through them into Gaza. A spokesman for the Egyptian prime minister's office said the Israeli aircraft did not have permission to use the airspace. Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said no airspace violation had occurred. Before strafing the area in and around Rafah, the Israeli air force dropped leaflets warning residents to leave their homes because more Israeli attacks were imminent, Palestinian security sources said. According to an IDF spokesman, the leaflets say: "Two days ago, the IDF distributed leaflets in Rafah in which the residents were warned to evacuate their homes for their own safety. As they heeded the IDF instructions, the harming of residents in combat was avoided. "Over the coming period, the IDF will continue to target tunnels, weapon caches and terrorist operatives with growing intensity. For your safety and that of your family, stay away from terrorist elements or places where weapons are stored or places where terrorist elements operate." In Gaza City on Saturday afternoon, heavy black smoke rose during a three-hour period during which Israel was to halt its attacks on militants so Palestinians could stock up on supplies. CNN's Ben Wedeman said the lulls, which have been tried before, aren't "rock solid." Limited military activity continues during that period, he said. A United Nations spokesman said Saturday's pause was not long enough to resume the transport of humanitarian supplies from Israel into Gaza. iReport.com: Share thoughts, reactions to crisis in the Middle East . Meanwhile, in Cairo, Egypt, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas was meeting with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak to discuss a possible cease-fire. Exiled Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal said during a televised news conference Saturday night that his followers will consider any proposals to stop the violence if conditions are met: the Israelis stop their "aggression" and all crossings between Israel and Gaza are opened. "These are our just demands, and with an open mind we will interact with any initiative," Mashaal said. [/INST] NEW: Fighting nears densely populated Gaza City, witnesses say .

Lenny McCourt lost consciousness in the cramped cage after being arrested for being drunk and disorderly at his home in Seaham, County Durham on 11 September 2010. The 44-year-old had been pepper sprayed twice during his arrest and was taken to Peterlee police station. Scroll down for video . Anger: The family of Lenny McCourt have released CCTV footage of his death after claiming police officers took too long to resuscitate him . Lenny MCourt's family called him a 'gentle giant, who loved all of his family' Relatives of Mr McCourt have made the 'heartbreaking decision' to release the CCTV footage after the Durham Police officers involved did not face action, despite failing to administer immediate CPR. Mr McCourt's sister-in-law Tracey McCourt, 47, said: 'Lenny could be here today if one of the police officers had done their job and tried to help him. 'It's clear from the CCTV that it took them more than five minutes to take his cuffs off and nearly ten minutes before they try and give him CPR. 'They are trained in first aid but if they aren't going to use it, or even try and get help, what is the point? 'They have a duty to protect the public and they just stood there with their hands on their hips while Lenny lay dying.' Collapse: Mr McCourt is in a bad way soon after exiting the police van . Mr McCourt lost consciousness in the cramped cage after being arrested for being drunk and disorderly at his home . Last November, an inquest at Crook Coroner's Court ruled that Mr McCourt died of heart disease precipitated by the stress of the events of the day and excess alcohol. Coroner Andrew Tweddle ruled his death was by misadventure. The death of Mr McCourt, grandfather to Reece, eight, and father to Toni, 27, and Launzie, 21, came as a huge shock to the family. Tracey, who is married to Lenny's brother Gene, 49, said: 'We were all devastated, we still are. 'He was a gentle giant, who loved all of his family. He had five brothers who he adored. He didn't deserve to die alone in a police van.' The family has released the footage as their own way of gaining justice after they felt let down by the police. Incapacitated: The 44-year-old had been pepper sprayed twice during his arrest . 'People need to see this to show what is really happening when people are in custody,' Tracey, a factory worker, said. 'The way you see the custody sergeant who can't get to the phone quickly enough to phone for an ambulance explains that he wasn't alive. 'Lenny was pronounced dead at 5.42pm but the first family member didn't find out about it until 11.50pm - that's appalling.

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? (CNN) -- A report in South Korean media is fueling the ongoing speculation about the deteriorating health of North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. Kim Jong Il, seen in an undated state-issued photo, has made only two public appearances since August. YTN News, citing unidentified intelligence sources in South Korea and China, reported Monday that the 67-year-old leader has pancreatic cancer. South Korea's Unification Ministry flatly denied the report, which comes a week after a frail-looking Kim appeared in public for the first time in months. Doctors told South Korea's state-run Yonhap News Agency that it is impossible to tell the status of Kim's health from the recent video of the reclusive leader. Kim appeared at a July 8 ceremony to commemorate the 15th anniversary of his father's death. He seemed frail and gaunt as he walked into the service flanked by senior party and military officials. North Korea's official KCNA news agency has routinely criticized the Western media for erroneously exaggerating the status of Kim's health. Last week's appearance was his second since he was widely reported to have suffered a stroke in August. Kim was seen in April when he was reappointed as chairman of North Korea's military board. His recent health problems and long absence from public functions have prompted speculation on whether he was ready to groom an heir. The rules governing transfer of power in the secretive communist nation are unclear, but it is widely believed that Kim's youngest son, Kim Jong Un, will succeed him. Facts about North Korea » . In April, the North Korean leader named Kim Jong Un and brother-in-law Chang Sung Taek to the country's powerful National Defense Commission.

The car suffered major damage to the front right corner as well as a smashed front windscreen, and after the fans helped to move the car to safety from the middle of the track, they were towed off the stage. Jardine stressed that the accident was not his partner's fault but had come from his own error. 'It was totally my fault. The stage was drying out and I was trying to go quicker. I took a downhill corner in fifth gear and lost the back of the car. As a result we swung into the logs, which cut into the front of the chassis.

<s>[INST] Can you summarize this? (CNN) -- Samsung tablets have edged out iPads for the first time in JD Power's biannual customer-satisfaction survey, although some observers say the results don't quite add up. Samsung topped JD Power's rankings with a score of 835 out of 1,000, narrowly beating out Apple's 833. Amazon was third in customer satisfaction at 826, followed by Asus and Acer. The rankings are based on the experiences of 3,375 tablet owners who responded between March and August of this year, and don't include the new iPad Air and iPad Mini, which went on sale Friday. But some tech pundits questioned the market-research company's scoring system. Survey respondents scored Apple's iPad higher than Samsung's tablets in four of five categories -- performance, ease of operation, styling/design, and features -- while Samsung scored higher in just one: cost. A Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 with an almost 8-inch screen, Wi-Fi-only connectivity and 16GB of storage sells for $299, compared to $399 for a comparable iPad Mini. "Reporters who got their hands on the attached chart were left scratching their heads," wrote Philip Elmer DeWitt in Fortune. "The only category that Samsung beat Apple in was (duh) cost. And cost, according to Power's press release, counts for at most 16% of the total score." "Did J.D. Power overreach in giving its top customer satisfaction nod to Samsung instead of Apple?" wondered Don Reisinger of CNET. "So who's the real winner?" JD Power did not immediately respond Friday to CNN's request for comment. Apple in the past has trumpeted JD Power's rankings as evidence of its products' popularity with consumers. At the company's Worldwide Developers Conference in June, Apple CEO Tim Cook bragged that iOS devices have won nine consecutive JD Power awards. JD Power's survey notes that Samsung is the only manufacturer to improve across all five categories since its last survey in April. The survey found that before buying their tablet, 50% of consumers rely on recommendations from friends, family members or colleagues, while 49% gather information from the manufacturer's website. Other factors that determine tablet-buying choices include brand reputation (42%) and past experience with the brand (32%).

With divorce fast becoming the norm it seems true love is harder and harder to find these days. But as these letters reveal, one smitten couple found a love so strong it was able to endure even while they were separated during World War II. Not only that, it lasted for a total of 70 years of marriage until they both died in 2011, he aged 96 and she aged 92, within just three days of one another. How time passes: Frederick and Elizabeth Noble wed on New Year's Day 1941 while Frederick . was on 48-hour leave from the Royal Tank Corps and stayed married for . the next 70 years . But, as remarkable as their relationship had seemed in life, in death it was about to give up its biggest and most heartwarming surprise. After Frederick and Elizabeth Noble had passed relatives discovered they had kept 250 love letters, telegrams, notes and Valentine's cards from each other. Their grandson, Dr Andrew Rowland, has taken them along to the Antique Roadshow TV program. In one extract read on tonight's show, Frederick writes: 'You are the most wonderful, marvellous, precious, beloved, lovable, . adoring, adorable, charming, divine and loving sweetheart wife that has . ever lived. 'Darling, come a little closer and let me whisper in . your darling ears, all these loving words, because they are meant for . you, my sweetheart.' The pair wrote a series of remarkable and passionate love letters to one another throughout World War II . The amazing collection of 250 letters, telegrams, notes and Valentine's cards was stored in a tea chest . The couple, who shared the same birthday, kept the memories stashed away inside a tea chest in their home in Wingate, County Durham. Speaking about the letters, Fiona Bruce, the show's host, said: 'Theirs was a real love story. What struck me about the . letters was the sheer outpouring of emotion across their pages. 'They . reveal two people who had fallen headlong in love - and that love burned . even more brightly while they were forced apart by war.' Frederick and Elizabeth Noble wed on New Year's Day in 1941 while he was on 48-hour leave from the Royal Tank Corps. He had volunteered for the Army in 1936 despite having been selected . as a professional footballer by Aston Villa and served in Afghanistan, . India, Burma, Ceylon and France. From these war-torn . countries he wrote the tear-jerking telegrams to his wife who was . nursing injured servicemen back home. After the war, . Elizabeth carried on her work as a nurse while Frederick became a miner . in the East Durham coalfield, before rising to the position of colliery overseer. During their long lives the besotted pair built up a large family of two daughters, four grandchildren, and four great-grandchildren and it was grandson who discovered the letters . Perhaps the most heart-wrenching messages were written when Frederick's leave was cancelled. He says: 'I'm very sorry my beloved, I can't get home. That's all I live for, . home and you. In another passage he adds: 'We both feel the same when I have to return from leave. I have to take a . firm hold of myself or I would never come back. 'I hate to see the back . of you as my bus or train pulls out because I know it will be weeks . before I set eyes on you again. It's terrible when we have to part - too . awful for words.' Showing a touch of humour, Frederick writes again to compliment his wife's skill in the kitchen: 'Darling, no matter what you think, I still say that you are a good cook . - so let's not have a small row. You know I wish that today I could . have sat down to one of your dinners.' Elizabeth's communication is more limited, as she was kept in the dark about where her husband was to keep military operations a secret. In the letters she did write she talks about the home front, rationing, and hiding under the kitchen table while bombs fell on the main road near their house. Only a small selection of letter were taken to Antiques Roadshow for filming and the family are keeping the rest secret while they decide what to do with them . While the letters reveal a lot about the couple's marriage, the war and their incredible devotion to one another, only a small selection were taken along to the show's filming in North Yorkshire. The rest are being kept a secret while the family, made up of the couple's two daughters, four grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, decide what to do with them. In an interview with the Sunday Mirror, Dr Rowland revealed that towards the end of their lives the pair talked about not wanting to go on without each other. He said that the family were comforted in their sadness by the thought that, in the end, Elizabeth had only had to endure three days without her beloved other half.

A couple who routinely drugged their toddler daughter so they could 'catch up on their sleep' have been given suspended prison sentences. The drug addict mother, 41, and father, 40, regularly gave their two-year-old daughter the liquid paracetamol Medised - intended for children more than twice her age - for a year and a half so she was less likely to wake in the night and disturb their sleep, a court heard. Gloucester Crown Court was told the little girl also sometimes had the sedative Diazepam - used to treat severe anxiety and agitation. The parents admitted cruelty after drugging their toddler with Medised so they could catch up on their sleep . The girl had to be fed through a . nasal tube when she was born due to problems caused by her mother's use . of Diazepam and the heroin substitute methadone while she was pregnant, . the court heard. Instead . of weaning their daughter off the tube, the couple, from Nailsworth in . Gloucestershire, continued to use it routinely because it was easier for . them, prosecutor Kannan Siva said. They . went on to give her Medised on a nightly basis between the ages of two . and a three and a half so they could sleep, he added. The . little girl was taken into the care of an aunt in June 2011 after her . 'plainly selfish' parents, who met in rehab, told a social worker what . they had been doing. Judge . Jamie Tabor QC criticised the couple for their 'remarkably stupid' actions, and told them he would have jailed them were it not for the . fact it would deprive their daughter of weekly supervised visits from . her parents. The parents, whose identities cannot be revealed, walked free from court after being handed suspended sentences . Their offences were not malicious but . they were quite plainly selfish to spare themselves the tribulations of . parenthood, the judge said. 'Every . parent of a young child will have undergone sleepless nights because the . child is unsettled for one reason or another. You chose to adminster . Medised, which was not intended for a child that age, and you chose to . keep very quiet about it,' he said. 'I . see before me a wholly inadequate man who was rather struggling with . this child and a mother who was more concerned with herself than her . child,' the judge added. Both parents admitted being cruel to . their daughter between September 2009 and June 2011 by routinely . administering Medised - a liquid medicine typically prescribed to . children between the ages of six and 12 to relieve cold and flu . symptoms, fevers or headaches. Her mother admitted a similar charge . involving her daughter taking Diazepam, but denied that she had given it . to her daughter deliberately. 'Plainly selfish': The mother, 41, and father, 40, were given suspended sentences at Gloucester Crown Court . The couple's denial of a charge of administering methadone to their daughter was accepted by the prosecution. They had faced another charge of cruelty by using a feeding tube on the child, which was not proceeded with. Judge Jamie Tabor QC . The . woman was sentenced to 18 months suspended for a period of two years, . while the man was given a 12 month sentence suspended for the same . period. Both were placed under a curfew between the hours of 8pm and 6am for a period of six months. The . court heard the couple's daughter was eating normally within a month of . being taken into care and had grown into a 'bright little button'. Her parents have supervised access to their daughter at weekends. It might send the little girl 'off the rails' if she were to be deprived of the visits, the judge said.

Giles Nelson, representing the girl's mother, said the couple met when they were both in rehab in 2001. 'I am afraid they went badly wrong as parents,' he said. Martin Steen, representing her father, said: 'He thought that by giving Medised he was relieving her [his daughter] and relieving himself. He now recognises he was wrong and is ashamed. He loves his daughter dearly.' Judge Tabor told the couple that with their own drug addiction histories they should have known better and what they had done was 'most remarkably stupid'.

<s>[INST] Summarize this: (CNN) -- Sarah Palin: politician and mother. iReporters weigh in on the difficulty of balancing those two roles. iReporter Christina Walker says its very challenging to balance work and caring for her 1-year-old child. Since Sen. John McCain named Alaska Go. Sarah Palin as his vice presidential pick, she has been closely scrutinized by both the public and the media. Palin has served as governor of Alaska for almost two years. She also has five children, including a 4-month-old son with Down Syndrome and a 17-year-old daughter who is 5-months pregnant. Her choice to run as the Republican vice presidential nominee has drawn both praise and criticism from the left and right alike. Now iReporters are asking: Was it the right decision? Some feel that Palin's choice to run shows poor judgment. "I think she made the wrong call. It's not her time," said Andy Stably of Salem, New Hampshire. "Given her personal situation and her special circumstances, it does seem more important than the nomination she's accepting. I don't think that should be blanket statement for all moms. But the job she's about to interview for is the job of jobs, and it's going to require her to sacrifice what she has at home." Stably has children of his own, and his wife works full-time. He says this experience has helped shape his views on Palin: "Doesn't everyone, male or female, think about the impact a job offer would have on their personal life before accepting the offer?" "It's not a sexist thing," said Jeanette Lee, who is raising a 15-month-old baby of her own. "If my family was having these sorts of issues, I wouldn't be putting them in the spotlight and making them go through this publicly. For her to walk away from her baby with special needs just shows her character. I feel like she should pay more attention to her whole family." "If her children were older, it wouldn't be an issue," Lee added. Others feel Palin's family situation would have a negative impact on her effectiveness as vice president. "I want my president to be my president. It is a difficult, sometimes thankless, and emotionally devastating job that requires 100 percent resolve at all times," said Carlton Madden, from West Monroe, Louisiana. "I think she has a lot on her plate ... I have no problem with a woman being president, but I'm going to hold her to the same standards I'd hold a man. If [Obama] had a pregnant teen daughter and a child with special needs, I'd have serious reservations about his ability to make a split-second decision, too." Christina Walker, of Austin, Texas, who has a 1-year-old daughter, says her experience as a mom has led her to the same conclusion. "I opted to change my career path so I could spend more time with my child, and I'm trying to manage both the career and the child," she said. "It's very challenging, and I'm not in nearly the type of stressful role that she would be in." But some think Palin's experience as a mom would only make her a better vice president. Carolyn Jasper of Shreveport, Louisiana, says Palin's experience as a mother makes her a better candidate because she knows what it's like to balance life and work and can understand the lives of "regular" Americans. "I can tell you one thing about being a mom. You learn real quick how to work through all of life's huge problems and bring them down to a manageable size," said Jasper, who has three children of her own. "I do think she'll be more capable of understanding what the regular American people need from their government because she is a mom and a family person." So is there a double standard at work? Some iReporters think so. "Why aren't we questioning how Obama can raise his kids?" asked Shawn Strode of Orlando, Florida. "Mind you, having a Down Syndrome child is going to be more challenging, but are we assuming the dad can't step in and be a parent? We automatically assume that first ladies can be great parents and that it won't take away from the father being the president. I don't think it will affect her job that much." "I'm a little tired of hearing about Bristol and her pregnancy," said Katy Brown, a freshman at Kent State University in Ohio. "This has nothing to do with the campaign. It has nothing to do with how well Sarah Palin will lead the country. ...This just shows that they're a normal family." Lisa Stiles, of Richmond, Virginia, has been involved in grassroots campaigning for nuclear energy throughout her career and says Palin inspired her to consider running for office in the future. She thinks this discussion would never have come up if Palin was a man. "Are people forgetting that she has a husband?" Stiles asked. "I would think people would be applauding the fact that such a reversal of traditional gender roles is possible." And Jordan Saver of Athens, Georgia, believes there is a different kind of sexism going on in the race: "We're giving [Palin] credit for being a mother and a politician, but Barack Obama doesn't get credit for being a father and a politician," he said. "It's reverse discrimination. But if they mentioned it, it would be seen as sexist." "It's the wrong conversation to be having," added Kathryn Ova of New York City, who describes herself as a "die-hard feminist." "Our overall belief system of putting work ahead of family for both men and women is kind of dominating right now. It's coming up because she's a woman, but putting work ahead of family is a major issue regardless of gender." [/INST] iReporters weigh in on Sarah Palin's roles of politician and mother .

Analysts Experian CreditExpert estimates up to 6.8 million Britons - around one in seven of the adult population - have suffered money troubles because of a romantic relationship. Almost half of these (47 per cent) have been affected by the problems of an ex-partner and a third (33 per cent) are still affected up to three years after the relationship has ended. The survey of over 3,000 adults also found one in four (25 per cent) ex-lovers struggled to get a loan as a result of a former partner's credit rating and 18 per cent were set a higher interest rate as a result. Problems occur when unmarried couples get joint loans, mortgages, credit cards or bank accounts - which 57 per cent of the couples said they did to prove how committed they were. But if one of the couple gets into financial trouble, even on an individual rather than joint account, the other is listed as being 'financially associated' and so their rating suffers too. Ex still ruining your life? If you don't want a former flame's credit rating to affect yours, you need a 'financial disassociation' This can happen if one of the pair defaults on a loan repayment or does not pay their credit card bill for instance. When couples split, it is possible to file for a 'financial disassociation', a monetary version of a divorce which means the two individuals are no longer classed as a couple to lenders. Yet few individuals tend to do this, said Experian, even though it could repair any damaged credit rating in as little as nine months. Experian managing director Peter Turner said: 'Financial ties, such as a joint mortgage, a joint bank account or a partner's name on a credit card, will be viewed on a credit report as an 'association' to your spouse or partner. 'This association will stay on a credit report - regardless of whether the relationship has ended or not - unless a request to have it removed is made. 'It can be painful to have to think about finances in the middle of a break-up but it can be the first step towards regaining your financial independence.'

<s>[INST] Provide a summary for this text: (CNN)Just the other day, en route to school, my husband and daughters ended up walking behind a smoker on the street. The three of them immediately talked about how "gross" they think smoking is. My younger daughter, who's 7, asked why someone would start to smoke in the first place, according to my husband. Then, my nearly-9-year-old said she read a book in which a guy wouldn't kiss a girl because she smoked. It's exactly that sentiment -- that smokers may be considered less attractive, appealing or desirable -- that a provocative new music video hopes to capitalize on to persuade teens never to start smoking in the first place. The video plays off the term "left swipe," which with the popularity of dating apps like Tinder and OKCupid has come to define someone as unattractive. If you like someone on a dating app, you swipe them right. If you don't like them, you give them a "left swipe." (Full disclosure: I had no idea what these terms meant until I reported this story!) And so, in the video, featuring musical performers Becky G, Fifth Harmony and a host of Internet stars including Grace Helbig, Harley Morenstein and King Bach, each time a profile picture appears with someone smoking, there is a call to #LeftSwipeDat. Smoking, drinking, prescription drug abuse by teens is down, survey says . "Yeah, you work out, you are in shape, OK. I like the six-pack abs, not the six packs a day," sings Becky G. The video is part of the "truth" campaign, one of the largest national youth smoking-prevention initiatives in the country, and is directed and funded by the national public foundation Legacy. "We wanted to debunk a few things here," said Robin Koval, chief executive officer and president of Legacy. "One, (smoking) doesn't make you more attractive, and we know the thing that young people care about most is connecting with other people, especially for romantic opportunities, and that social smoking, whatever you call it, light smoking, intermittent smoking, is smoking. "From our perspective, if you light it, you should left-swipe it. It's just a bad idea." Some research shows how dating profiles featuring smoking get less traction than those that do not. The anti-smoking group Action on Smoking & Health conducted an experiment. It created two identical profiles -- "Heather" and "Sara" -- on the dating app Tinder, each featuring the same attractive woman. Heather was smoking; Sara was not. Heather and Sara then both swiped right on 1,000 men over a week, again meaning they liked them. Fifty-four percent of the men chose Sara, the nonsmoking profile, while 29% selected Heather, the profile with a cigarette, according to the group's findings. The campaign comes as cigarette smoking has reached historic lows among teens, according to the latest Monitoring the Future survey by the University of Michigan, released in December. FDA launches teen anti-smoking campaign . Among eighth-, 10th- and 12th-graders who were polled in 1997, 28% said they smoked in the prior month. That number dropped to 8% in 2014, according to the report, which is amazing. But there are reasons to be concerned, including how teens seem to have dramatically different perceptions about the impact of social smoking versus being a regular smoker. "One of the things we see is a belief among young people that if you only smoke occasionally, light smoking or intermittent smoking, that somehow that's not as dangerous," Koval said. In a recent study, though most teens said they believe that heavy smoking is harmful, only 64% said light smoking, consuming a few cigarettes a day, was very harmful. Nearly 25% believed that intermittent smoking caused little or no harm, according to the survey of nearly 25,000 teens in the United States and showcased in the Journal of Pediatrics. Would you tell your kids you got high? E-cigarette use among teens is also on the rise: Seventeen percent of 12th-graders, 16% of 10th-graders and 8% of eighth-graders said they had used them in the past month, according to the recent Monitoring the Future survey. And 23% of 12th-graders said they smoked tobacco using a hookah in the past year in 2014, up from 17% in 2010. In addition, 19% said they smoked small or little cigars, often called cigarillos, in 2014, down from 23% in 2010. "Young people just don't understand that a little cigar is just as dangerous as a regular cigarette," Koval said. "It's very concerning and really, really dangerous. ... We know for sure that combustible tobacco will kill you." The video marks a departure from other ad campaigns, including some by the FDA last year, that try to graphically show teens the health risks associated with smoking. Koval says those ads are effective too, but this approach may have more impact when it comes to changing perceptions. Why it's still a big deal if your teen smokes pot? Young people think they are "never going to get old. They are never going to get sick. They don't even really think their social smoking, if you will, behavior is really real smoking or that dangerous," she said. "Doing it when they're out with others, believing that it makes them more attractive, that it helps them connect with others is an increasing trend." Koval would not reveal the cost of airing the 60-second version during the Grammys but said the move clearly represents a "significant" investment. "It's very hard to aggregate live audiences of young people, the moments when you can do that are far and few between, so we want to take advantage of them," she said. "We know that youth will be watching." And the hope is that they won't just watch but will share the video on social media along with the hashtag #LeftSwipeDat.

<s>[INST] Summarize the text and bring out the key points: The report suggested that fears of abduction, traffic accidents and bullying are among the factors that explain why parents do not let their children walk to school . Only a quarter of primary school children are allowed to travel to school alone, a study shows. Examining how many pupils walk, cycle or take the bus to school unaccompanied, the report by the Policy Studies Institute revealed a dramatic fall from 86 per cent in 1971. It also showed a startling contrast with Germany, where 75 per cent of children travel alone. The report suggested that fears of abduction, traffic accidents and bullying are among the factors that explain the lack of autonomy for the pupils in England. Mayer Hillman of the PSI urged parents to encourage their children to be more independent in order to help their development. He said: ‘Wrapping our kids in cotton wool may seem like we are keeping them safe, but it makes growing up harder and less fun.' In 1971, when the research by the Policy Studies Institute (PSI) at Westminster University was first carried out, 86 per cent of UK primary pupils travelled alone between home and school. Now it is just 25 per cent, while in Germany, where children cycle, walk or take the bus to school alone years before British children, the figure is 75 per cent. Research fellow Ben Watson, who co-authored the study, said: ‘Independent mobility has been shown to be good for children's wellbeing and development, yet our research shows it has dropped significantly in the last four decades. ‘The experience from Germany shows that this drop is not an inevitable result of modern life.' he added. The PSI conducted studies on child mobility in 1971, 1990 and 2010 in primary and secondary schools in five different areas of England while colleagues in Germany did the same. The researchers found that the lack of independence for youngsters seen in the UK was down to a number of factors including fear of abduction, traffic accidents and bulling by other children. Cath Prisk, director of Play England, said: ‘This study confirms our own research that there are more barriers to playing out and travelling independently for children today than for previous generations. Interestingly, the research shows that children in other countries, such as Germany, are able to enjoy this basic right far more than their English peers. ‘Parents who want to buck this worrying trend should think about giving their kids the gift of independence at home, on the doorstep, in their neighbourhood and further afield.' The surveys of children and their parents were conducted in 10 schools (five primary and five secondary) in five areas of England: Islington, Nottingham, Stevenage, Winchester and rural Oxfordshire. In Germany, Kvln Innenstadt, Witten, Kvln Chorweiler, Wuppertal-Langerfeld and Bochum were the locations surveyed. The children were asked whether they were allowed to cross main roads alone, uses buses and bicycles without an adult, come home from school alone, travel to other places on their own or with friends, and to go out after dark alone.

(CNN) -- Two Burmese migrants accused of the brutal murder of two British tourists on a popular tourist island in Thailand last month have retracted their confessions, a lawyer representing them says. Zaw Lin and Win Zaw Htun, who have been in custody since October 1, had admitted to killing David Miller and raping and murdering Hannah Witheridge on Koh Tao, according to Thai police. However the men now say they did so under duress after being physically abused by police, Surapong Kongchantuk, the head of the Lawyers Council of Thailand, which is acting for the two suspects, told CNN Wednesday. Surapong said the men deny the murder and rape charges, and that an official complaint to the justice department of Samui, which has jurisdiction over the island, has been filed. They appealed for fair treatment for the two accused, he added. Thai police could not be immediately reached for a response. The two Britons were found dead on a beach on the island, a popular tourist destination, on September 15. Both were partially undressed with severe injuries to their heads. A hoe with blood on it was found close by, police said. Police Commissioner Gen. Somyot Poompanmuang previously told CNN that DNA in semen taken from Witheridge matched samples taken from the two men. "The DNA matching result is out already and they matched with DNA found on the female victim," he said. Torture claims denied . Reports that the police extracted confessions through torture first surfaced earlier this month, when Burmese media reported that its two nationals had complained to a visiting lawyer attached to the Myanmar embassy. The revelation prompted national police chief Somyot Poompanmuang to hold a press conference in Bangkok to deny allegations his officers had tortured the suspects. Nevertheless, Amnesty International has called for a full, independent investigation into reports of misconduct by police officers. Allegations of torture should be investigated independently, and not by the Thai police, Richard Bennett, Amnesty's Asia-Pacific Program director, told CNN earlier this month. He also said there were questions of due process that had arisen, specifically the absence of legal counsel prior to the confession, and difficulties with interpretation. "There is a fairly long-standing record of ill-treatment," in Thailand, he said. "Impunity is also a problem. If the investigation shows ill-treatment, those responsible should pay." The fact that the suspects are migrant workers, many of whom work in Thailand illegally, makes them more vulnerable, he added. Journalist Kiki D in Bangkok contributed to this report.

Given her defiant and hypocritical attitude, it's no surprise the fiery singer was angered when Miss Nyong'o called her out in a speech at Essence's Black Women in Hollywood event on February 27. Influential: In a recent speech, Miss Nyong'o read out loud a letter from a fan who said she decided not to buy Dencia's skin-whitening cream Whitenicious because the actress had inspired her to love her own skin . On-screen: Miss Nyong'o won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role in 2013 film 12 Years A Slave . In her talk, the 30-year-old opened up about how conventional standards of beauty once affected her self-esteem, reading aloud a letter written to her by a young girl who viewed her as a role model. 'Dear Lupita,' reads the letter. 'I think you're really lucky to be this black but yet this successful in Hollywood overnight. I was just about to buy Dencia's Whitenicious cream to lighten my skin when you appeared on the world map and saved me.' 'My heart bled a little when I read those words,' the actress said through tears, explaining how as a child, she, too, would pray that she'd one day wake up with lighter skin. Hypocritical: Dencia is no stranger to controversy; in a February interview with Ebony, she essentially admitted that Whitenicious is intended as a skin-lightener, not as a cure for dark spots as it claims . Perpetuating the problem: 'When you take that picture and you put a picture of Dencia darker, this is what you're telling people - the product really works,' she said. 'And guess what? People really want to buy it' But while the actress saw the letter as a source of inspiration, Dencia took it as a personal attack. After her angry tweet at Miss Nyong'o, criticism poured in, with one person tweeting: 'B**** lupita is the new face of Lancôme!! SHE WINS!! And you're just TRASH [sic]'. In her response, Dencia said of the cosmetics company: 'But they sell bleaching cream tho [sic]'. The pop star is likely referring to Lancome's Blanc Expert range of cosmetics, which are actually advertised as 'brighteners' that 'regulate melanin production and awaken the luminosity of the skin'. And as far as Dencia's claim that Lancome is a 'white people company', a quick perusal of the website reveals that it has a number of concealers and foundations in darker skin tones.

<s>[INST] Summarize the text and bring out the key points: Best-selling author Hilary Mantel has revealed how her fantasies about killing Margaret Thatcher inspired her new short story about her assassination. The 62-year-old has recalled how she once spotted the former Prime Minister standing unguarded near her Windsor flat in 1983 and imagined shooting her. The fantasy was the inspiration for her short story, The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher, which will be published at the end of the month. But her comments have already sparked anger with one Conservative MP describing them as 'shocking'. Tempted: Hilary Mantel (left) spotted Margaret Thatcher (right in 1983) in an unguarded window in her flat . Miss Mantel whose best-selling novels about the Tudors have been adapted into a BBC series called Wolf Hall, has told how she feels ‘boiling detestation' for the politician. In an interview with The Guardian, she said Baroness Thatcher was an anti-feminist and ‘psychological transvestite', who did ‘long-standing damage' to the country. It is not the first controversy the author has been caught up in. In 2013, she said the Duchess of Cambridge had gone from being a ‘jointed doll on which certain rags are hung' to a woman whose ‘only point and purpose' was to give birth. The new short story tells of a well-off woman waiting in her Windsor flat for a plumber. The man she lets in turns out to be an assassin who wants to use her bedroom to shoot Baroness Thatcher as she leaves the private hospital opposite after an eye operation. Mantel described how she used her finger and thumb to form a gun when Baroness Thatcher wandered into view at noon on Saturday, August 6, 1983. She said: ‘Immediately your eye measures the distance, I thought, “if I wasn't me, if I was someone else, she'd be dead”.' Waving: The story, published in the Guardian, was inspired by a 1983 sighting of Mrs Thatcher in a window . Nadine Dorries, Conservative MP for Mid Bedfordshire, told MailOnline this morning: 'I cannot quite believe it. I am gutted because Hilary Mantel is one of my favourite authors. 'It is shocking as it is so close (to Margaret Thatcher's death) and she still has living family and children. It is about a character whose demise is so recent.' Later in the interview Miss Mantel reveals she did not considered herself to be either of the two characters featured in the short story and instead was 'standing by the window with the notebook'. Miss Mantel, a two-time Man Booker prizewinner, said the book had taken 30 years to write, but dismissed the idea she had been waiting for Baroness Thatcher's death to write it. ‘I am concerned with respect, I'm not concerned with taste,' she said, adding: ‘I would have happily concluded the story in her lifetime but couldn't – it was my technical difficulty, not any delicacy. I believe in walking that line. You mustn't be too timid to risk getting it wrong.' The story has been hotly anticipated ever since news of its title was unveiled in January this year. In the interview, she describes Mrs Thatcher as having caused ‘long-standing damage' in many areas of national life. She says the former Prime Minister was a 'fantastic' character to write about about and that 'as a citizen, I suffered from her but as a writer, I benefited.'

Economic advisers to the German government more than halved their forecast for 2013 growth today, blaming a sharp fourth-quarter contraction and weak prospects for foreign trade and investment. The advisers, known in Germany as the 'wise men', predicted the economy would almost grind to a halt this year, growing just 0.3 per cent compared to 0.7 per cent in 2012. In October they had forecast Europe's largest economy to expand 0.8 per cent in 2013, but data has since shown that it shrank by 0.6 per cent in the last three months of 2012. Economic advisers to the German government, housed in the Reichstag, more than halved their forecast for 2013 growth . Foreign trade, traditionally the main driver of German growth, would subtract 0.3 percentage points from German gross domestic product (GDP) this year, the advisers said. Demand for Germany's goods has weakened as austerity measures and recession take their toll on demand in other members of the euro zone, where Germany sends 40 per cent of its shipments. The advisers said investment was unlikely to make any significant contribution to growth in the first half of 2013. They see capital investment dropping by 3 per cent over the year, a slight improvement compared with 2012, when firms invested 4.8 per cent less in machinery and equipment. Some German companies are making cuts, with Air Berlin, the country's second biggest carrier, saying it would focus on savings this year. Retailer Metro has said it would reduce overall investment in the shortened 2013 year to below the 954 million euros it put into its business in the first nine months of 2012. The advisers said growth would primarily come from domestic demand, with private consumption increasing by 0.7 per cent and government spending rising by an upwardly revised 1.7 per cent. 'Especially household final consumption expenditure should continue to display a robust development, given that the labour market is still remarkably stable,' the advisers said in a statement. Germany's jobless rate is close to its lowest since the country reunited more than two decades ago and the number of Germans out of work fell in February. Air Berlin, the country's second biggest carrier, saying it would focus on savings this year . In addition, inflation is moderate, wages are rising and paltry interest rates are giving consumers little incentive to save. Data due out later this week is expected to bolster the advisers' expectations by showing that the number of unemployed Germans fell by 4,000 in March and consumer sentiment held steady heading into April. The influential Ifo survey last week showed German business morale fell in March, breaking a four-month run of gains and highlighting concerns the reignited debt crisis in the euro zone will test Germany's resilience. Consumer price inflation will ease to 1.7 per cent this year from 2.0 per cent last year and the unemployment rate will edge up to 6.9 per cent from 6.8 per cent, the advisers said, which is still near post-reunification lows.

Israel today freed 26 Palestinian prisoners as part of US-brokered peace efforts. But it said it was pressing on with plans to build more homes for Jewish settlers, in an apparent move to appease hardliners. The inmates, who were convicted of killing Israelis, basked in a hero's welcome from hundreds of relatives and well-wishers in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Brokered release: Just after midnight, Israel released 26 prisoners - the second of four groups to be set free as part of a US-backed amnesty to resume peace talks . The released prisoners, including Hazem Shobair, centre, were given a hero's welcome after up to 20 years imprisoned in Israeli jails . 'Our heroes are coming home, long live . the prisoners,' crowds chanted outside the office of Palestinian . President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah. Issa Abed Rabbo, convicted of murdering two Israeli hikers in 1984, was carried through the alleys of the Biblical town of Bethlehem on the shoulders of cheering Palestinians as fireworks went off and patriotic songs blared. 'My feeling is that of a commander returning from battle, carrying a banner of victory and freedom,' Abed Rabbo said, his outstretched fingers forming a triumphant V. The inmates were jailed before or just after the first Israeli-Palestinian interim peace deals were signed 20 years ago. The inmates were released in the West Bank town of Ramallah. They were the second of four groups of prisoners to be set free to enable Israeli-Palestinian peace talks to resume .

Peace negotiations between Israel and Palestinians fell apart in 2008. The Palestinians refused to continue talks while Israel pushed ahead with building settlements on its territory . US Secretary of State John Kerry helped the two sides reach an agreement to bring them back to the negotiating table . Their release just after midnight Tuesday was the second of four prisoner releases meant to restart Israeli-Palestinian talks in an effort to reach a final agreement between the two sides. The Palestinians had long refused to resume peace negotiations with Israel unless it ends construction in territories that Palestinians seek for their state. Israel refused, insisting that settlements and other core issues, including security, should be resolved through negotiations. The prisoner release was part of an agreement brokered by U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, which brought Israel and the Palestinians back to the negotiating table after a five-year hiatus. The talks had been paralyzed since 2008. Earlier this year, Kerry managed to persuade Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas to drop the settlement issue as a condition for restarting negotiations. In exchange, Israel agreed to the prisoner release. The amnesty involved releasing all of the Palestinian prisoners in return for dropping the issue of settlements . Released prisoner Omar Masoud, 40, left, who was arrested in May 1993 for killing an Israeli lawyer, greets his mother Tamam Masoud, 70, right, upon his arrival to his family house in Shati Refugee Camp . In total, Israel has agreed to release 104 Palestinian inmates as part of the amnesty . In all, 104 Palestinian convicts are to be released in four rounds over the coming months. The east Jerusalem construction move angered the Palestinians but it was not immediately clear if it would directly impact the talks, which are taking place behind closed doors and away from the public eye, which both sides had agreed to. Nabil Abu Rdeneh, a spokesman for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned the move, saying that 'it is destructive to the peace efforts and will only lead to more tensions.' Last night's prisoner release opened fissures in Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's rightist government. A pro-settler coalition partner, the Jewish Home party, and members of his own Likud, called on the leader to cancel the amnesty.

Israel's Interior Ministry said it would push ahead with plans to build 1,500 homes for settlers on land in the West Bank close to Jerusalem . Last night's prisoners were the second of four groups to be set free as part of the agreement brokered by the US to bring the two sides back to negotiations . Meanwhile, Israel's Interior Ministry announced it would proceed with a plan for 1,500 new housing units in Ramat Shlomo, a settlement in an area of the occupied West Bank that Israel considers part of Jerusalem. Those plans were first announced in 2010, clouding a visit to Israel at the time by U.S. Vice President Joe Biden, who condemned the project, which was subsequently shelved. Israel announced last December it would proceed with the construction but froze the move again ahead of a visit by U.S. President Barack Obama in March this year. The Palestinians, who want to establish a state in East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza, territories captured by Israel in a 1967 war, condemned the move. Israel had put the construction of the settlements on hold for the visit of US president Barack Obama in March this year .

Yuval Steinitz, Israel's strategic affairs minister and a Likud member, made clear in a radio interview yesterday that by agreeing to the prisoner releases, the government effectively had quashed a Palestinian demand to halt settlement building. But at the celebrations in Ramallah, Abbas denied any connection between the prisoner release and settlement expansion. 'The settlements are void, void, void,' he told the crowd.

Guilty: Paul Strickland, pictured arriving at Manchester magistrates' court today, bit his wife's face after discovering she had a new boyfriend . A top doctor who bit his wife's face when he discovered she had a new boyfriend has escaped jail after a judge praised his 'courage' for pleading guilty. NHS consultant psychiatrist Paul Strickland, 51, sank his teeth into Dr Judith Richardson's cheek at his home in Didsbury, Manchester, after finding out she was dating a mutual friend. He bit her repeatedly for five seconds, before pushing her against a wall and bending her arm backward. Dr Richardson, also 51, a public health specialist, was left with a cheek injury and £500 worth of damage to her glasses following the attack. Strickland - who works for the NHS in Salford, Trafford and Bolton - admitted assault and criminal damage at Manchester magistrates' court last month. However, he escaped jail today after District Judge Paul Richardson praised his 'courage' for pleading guilty - instead, sentencing him to a six-month community order, costs of £85 and a £60 victim surcharge. The assault took place in January after Strickland, who is also an 'honorary' university lecturer, discovered Dr Richardson was in a relationship with another man, the court heard. He left seven voicemail messages on his estranged wife's phone, before deciding to confront her at her new boyfriend's home. Strickland, who specialises in providing services for people with mental health, banged on the front door, but noone answered and he left the scene.

No parole: Ohio kidnapper Ariel Castro enters the courtroom in Cleveland . David Cameron was yesterday accused of planning to 'kow-tow' to European human rights judges and scrap the country's toughest jail sentences. So-called 'whole-life' terms, which condemn the most dangerous serial killers to die behind bars, could be replaced by 'US-style, 100-year terms'. But crucially, unlike many states in the US, the new sentences in Britain will come with an automatic review – potentially allowing murderers who would otherwise have stayed in jail to be released back on to the streets. The proposal has infuriated Tory backbenchers. Last night Peter Bone said: 'The trouble with 100-year sentences is they can be reviewed and reduced and people could be let out. For certain people, life should mean life – in prison for the rest of their lives.' Downing Street is set to change the law to comply with a European Court of Human Rights judgment, which found life sentences without any prospect of parole amounted to a breach of killers' human rights. In July, the court ruled all inmates, however long their sentences, should have a chance at proving they have changed their ways and are no longer a threat to the public. Without a review mechanism, such sentences amounted to 'inhuman and degrading treatment' and breached Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights, the judges said. When the ruling was released, Mr Cameron's spokesman said the Prime Minister 'profoundly disagreed' and was a 'strong supporter of whole-life tariffs'. But less than six months later he appears ready to bow to Strasbourg's demands. Yesterday Mr Cameron tried to appear tough on the issue. He told BBC News: 'What I think is very clear, there are some people who commit such dreadful crimes that they should be sent to prison and life should mean life. Whatever the European court has said, we must put in place arrangements to make sure that can continue.' But he failed to rule out changes to the 'whole-life' regime, which is reserved for killers and rapists deemed so depraved they can never be let out. In the US, many criminals are given lengthy sentences with no chance of release. Last year Ohio kidnapper and rapist Ariel Castro was sentenced to life imprisonment plus 1,000 years without parole. He was later found dead in his cell. Last night pressure was mounting on Mr Cameron. Mr Bone said: 'We should ignore the ruling of this Mickey Mouse court in Strasbourg and do what the British people want.' Prime Minister David Cameron has been accused of planning to 'kow-tow' to European human rights judges . Peter Cuthbertson, of the Centre for Crime Prevention, said: 'The abolition of whole-life sentences is a backward step. This proposal means that every murderer, no matter how grotesque their crimes, has an automatic right to parole hearings. What is the point of having elections if governments always end up kow-towing to the European Court of Human Rights?' The Strasbourg case was brought by three convicted killers given whole-life sentences who demanded the right to a parole hearing – Jeremy Bamber, Douglas Vinter and Peter Moore. There 52 individuals serving such terms. The Strasbourg court said all must be allowed a review of their sentence, with release following if they can prove they have been successfully 'rehabilitated'. It suggested the whole-lifers should be given a review after 25 years inside and every few years afterwards. There is also pressure to amend the law from senior judges. In October, Mr Justice Sweeney said it was 'not appropriate' to give triple killer Ian McLoughlin a whole-life sentence because of the Strasbourg decree. The same judge is due to sentence the Woolwich killers of Lee Rigby – Michael Adebolajo and Michael Adebowale. [/INST] So-called 'whole-life' terms could be . replaced by 100-year terms .
