She drew gasps from the crowd in Sydney as she posed alongside Hugh and Zac to promote their new film.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, Zendaya said the story's epic romance drew her to the project.
She said: "There are so many messages and so many things you can pull from it.
"What drew me to it was that love story and this idea that at the end of the day, love can conquer all."
We spent Tuesday, May 17, in the Texas Panhandle, and then we headed for Kansas, hoping for the best.
Unfortunately we were still lacking a major ingredient for severe weather – moist air.
The air temperature reached the mid-70s, but dew points were only about 50. We basically spent the late afternoon waiting. The action took place farther west, in eastern Colorado, where conditions were more favorable.
We spent the night in Liberal.
Wednesday, Day 3, looks promising. The low-level surface winds are from the south and moisture has begun to arrive in Texas and Oklahoma.
I expect our target area to be in the vicinity of Woodward, Okla.
We are expecting the best conditions to occur between 4 and 8 p.m. Looks like super cells will occur, and we expect heavy thunderstorms, hail and a good lightning show.
Looking ahead, conditions are expected to become very favorable for tornadic activity Thursday, Friday and into the weekend.
Bob Ulchak is a weather enthusiast from Quincy, Mass., who is chasing tornados in “Tornado Alley” through May 27.
Alphabet, a top-dollar media conglomerate that began as, and is now the parent company of, Google, has been fooling around a bit with machine learning. The group’s latest offering, Perspective, an algorithm designed to monitor and identify toxic commentary online, proves once again that humans, given restrictions on th...
Perspective, David Auerbach writes in the MIT Technology Review, is “a system sensitized to particular words and phrases — but not to meanings,” and was “trained to detect toxicity using hundreds of thousands of comments ranked by human reviewers.” As a result of its training, the algorithm is very good at flagging the...
This makes sense, and it’s a good start. But what does Perspective do with a sentence that uses such words to communicate not-particularly-toxic sentiments? Not all sentences that use the word “Hitler” are, by virtue of this fact, toxic.
By way of explanation for Perspective’s shortcomings, Auerbach notes that “the current state of machine learning doesn’t permit software to grasp the intent and context of comments. By doing surface-level pattern matching, Conversation AI may be able to filter stylistically — but not semantically.” So, until that’s all...

Authorities announced that they arrested Dorren Mills on Tuesday in North Philadelphia in connection with three bank robberies this month.
Dorren Mills, wanted for five bank robberies in Philadelphia and its suburbs since Feb. 10, was arrested Tuesday, police announced today.
Authorities announced today that they arrested Dorren Mills on Tuesday in North Philadelphia in connection with a string of bank robberies this month.
Mills, 43, is now charged with three bank robberies.
- Feb. 10: TD Bank, 6635 Frankford Ave.
- Feb. 14: TD Bank, 1726 Walnut St.
- Feb. 17: Wells Fargo, 2005 Market St.
Notices were first issued by the FBI/PPD Violent Crime Task Force regarding Mills, who was originally wanted in connection with five separate bank robberies, on Friday, Feb. 21.
Mills, aka Damon Hall, Devon Hall and Darren Mills, was described as armed and dangerous, 6'1" and 280 pounds.
No information was available about how authorities tracked down Mills.
During the World Series, we heard about an anonymous "let it ride" bettor who went 6 of 6 on his bets before cashing in on eight-figure winnings ahead of Game 7.
That same bettor returned for the Super Bowl, and "Bettor X" has turned the Eagles' win over the New England Patriots into at least $6 million.
"He's one of the guys who was floating around betting all that money on the World Series," veteran Las Vegas bookmaker Jimmy Vaccaro, now of the South Point, told the Associated Press. "I don't think he lost a bet then. We'll see how he does now."
"Yeah, I've got him, too," Avello said to ESPN, regarding the return of the World Series bettor.
ESPN spoke to multiple bookmakers who have taken Bettor X's action and were scratching their heads Monday, trying to figure out he has an edge or if it's all just a run of luck.
Gambling must be nice when you never lose.
The same bettor went around Las Vegas to place money-line bets with MGM, CG Technology, William Hill, the Wynn and South Point.
No sportsbook would reveal this perfect bettor's identity, but I think we've all figured it out.
It's the only explanation that will make sense to me.
The son and daughter of Nancy Reagan, Ron Reagan and Patti Davis, pay their respects at their mother's casket during funeral services at the Reagan Library on March 11, 2016. The Rev. Stuart Kenworthy, vicar of Washington National Cathedral, officiated at the service.
Screen grab from the live video of Nancy Reagan's funeral on March 11, 2016.
Close friends and family remembered Nancy Reagan as more than a first lady Friday, recalling at her funeral service how she and husband Ronald Reagan made up "two halves of a circle," with a love for one another that inspired everyone they crossed paths with.
Inseparable in life, the pair were to be reunited in death in side-by-side graves at the Reagan presidential library.
During a service filled with poignant and often humorous memories, each speaker came back to the couple's love story.
"When they were together, he hid love notes around the house for her to find," said Reagan's former chief of staff, James Baker. "She reciprocated by secreting little notes in jellybeans in his suitcase.
"Ronald and Nancy Reagan were defined by their love for each other," Baker added. "They were as close to being one person as it I possible for any two people to be."
Reagan spoke in public so warmly, and so often, about his wife, former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney recalled, that he once told Reagan he was making every other world leader look bad in front of their wives.
Mrs. Reagan, for her part, was her husband's chief protector. Former NBC anchor Tom Brokaw, in his remarks, said that when he once questioned the hard-luck story of the president's early life, she became so angry that Reagan's staff advised him to stay away from the White House until she calmed down.
Reagan didn't mind the criticism, Brokaw said, but his wife did.
As speakers eulogized Mrs. Reagan to the 1,000 invited guests gathered in a tent behind the library, rain began to fall.
Among those in the front row were first lady Michelle Obama, who was seated next to former President George W. Bush. Hillary Clinton sat next to Bush's wife, Laura.
The guest list for the funeral told a story about their lives, which stretched from Hollywood's Golden Age to the California statehouse during Reagan's time as governor to Washington. Four of the five living first ladies and relatives of every president dating to John Kennedy attended.
Also among the guests were former Reagan administration official Ed Meese, Mulroney, former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, Mike Love of the Beach Boys and singer Johnny Mathis.
As a group gathered briefly outside the library to chat before the service, Mathis reminisced about how he and Mrs. Reagan would sing together during his visits to the Reagan family home. Their favorite song: "Our Love is Here to Stay."
The funeral brought together Democrats and Republicans, an unusual tableau at a time of deep division in Washington and on the 2016 campaign trail.
Nancy Reagan's two children, Patti Davis and Ronald Prescott Reagan, both spoke at the funeral, which also included choirs and a Marine Corps band.
The ceremony was officiated by the Rev. Stuart Kenworthy, vicar of Washington National Cathedral.
On Wednesday and Thursday at the library, more than 5,500 mourners and Reagan faithful filed slowly past the former first lady's closed casket, blanketed with white roses and peonies, Mrs.Reagan's favorite flower.
Reagan left the presidency after eight years, on January 20, 1989.
"Ronald Reagan was one of the best presidents we've ever had, and I admired them both as a couple for their love story and the support they showed to each other," said retired school teacher Mary Ellen Gruendyke of Riverside.
Mrs. Reagan, who died Sunday at 94, planned the smallest details of her funeral. She selected the funeral's flower arrangements, the music to be played by the Marine Corps band, and the list of guests invited to the private service.
The library site, where the 40th president was buried in 2004, provides sweeping views of horse country dotted with oaks and, on a clear day, a vista to the Pacific Ocean.
"We're just grateful for the Reagan years," Ray Brooks of Simi Valley said Thursday as he waited in line with his wife Jackie to board a shuttle to the library grounds, where Mrs. Reagan's casket was placed in the marble lobby with a bronze statue of a smiling Ronald Reagan nearby.
"Everybody, no matter how they felt about those years, when they look back, they remember them as good years because of the example they set," Brooks said. "We need an example like that now."
Musical prelude to begin at 10:15 a.m. by the Santa Susana High School Advanced Women's Choir and Abbe Road A Cappella, and an instrumental prelude by the 1st Marine Division Band, Marine Corps Camp Pendleton.
The Rev. Stuart A. Kenworthy, Vicar, Washington National Cathedral, will preside over the funeral.
Free State Stars coach Luc Eymael believes home ground advantage could be a huge boost for his side as they prepare to face Bidvest Wits in the first round of the Telkom Knockout at Goble Park on Saturday afternoon.
Astonishingly‚ this is the fourth season in a row that these two clubs have met in the last-16‚ with the three previous ties all being won by the home team.
Stars collected wins in Bethlehem in 2015 and 2016‚ but were beaten in Braamfontein last year as Wits went on to lift the trophy.
“They are not happy about having to play us at Goble Park‚ I know this‚” Eymael said.
Eymael said there is no doubt his side will push from the first minute for the win‚ even as they come up against one of the most decorated coaches in the Premier Soccer League in Wits’ Gavin Hunt.
“You never plan for a game to lose or draw‚ you have to plan to win‚” the Belgian coach says.
“In that way‚ the quality of what you do‚ your strengths and your weaknesses‚ should never change. We play one way.
“But Gavin is an experienced coach who has won top titles. I respect him a lot‚ we have a good understanding.
Eymael confirmed that he will be without stalwart midfielder Paulus Masehe‚ who has a fractured knee after a challenge with Cape Town City’s Roland Putsche on August 29.
Amazingly‚ Masehe played on through the pain and only a recent MRI discovered the injury. The 35-year-old is expected to be missing for the next four weeks.
ARSENAL legend Ian Wright has defended under-fire Manchester City star Yaya Toure, and claims he would be a 'sensation' at the Emirates.
Toure was largely subdued as City slumped to a 4-2 defeat away to Manchester United on Sunday.
The 31-year-old has been tipped to head for the Etihad exit in the summer, with Inter Milan chasing his signature.
And Wright, who scored 185 goals in 288 appearances for the Gunners, believes Toure would be an excellent signing for the club.
"If you could get him for that price at the end of the season, I’d have him at Arsenal in a heartbeat," Wright wrote in his column for The Sun.
"Everyone is jumping on the bandwagon of writing him off, but he is 31 and I reckon he would be an absolute sensation at the Emirates for a couple of seasons at least."
Wright also believes Toure shouldn't take the blame for City's loss at Old Trafford.
"I just think Yaya is the easy option when fans are looking for a scapegoat, because of the money he earns and all that stuff about City not acknowledging his birthday a year ago," he added.
"But to blame him for all that happened at Old Trafford is crazy. Yes, he didn't have a good day, but I didn't want see too many in sky blue shirts who did.
"Toure’s languid style of running will always see sofa experts claiming he is not trying. But they were not saying that when he was marauding through defences with opponents bouncing off him a season ago.
"At the moment City are like a ship aimlessly drifting along, rather than charting a definite course, but to suggest that’s all Yaya’s fault? I’m sorry, but I’m not having that at all.
"Apart from Joe Hart, there just appears to be a lack of passion throughout the team — and that certainly isn’t down to just one man.
"All those City fans wanting to see the back of him should be careful what they wish for. Toure deserves a lot more respect than he is being shown at the moment."

After the second-worst score he’s ever had at the FedEx St. Jude Classic with a 73 on Saturday, Phil Mickleson bounced back with a 65 on Sunday.
The large gallery following Phil Mickelson fell silent as he wrapped up his practice swings, paused and prepared for his birdie attempt on the ninth hole. Suddenly, a cellphone rang twice, sending its owner scurrying to the back of the green, rushing to silence the audible intrusion.
"I didn't really putt well on the front nine, and it was the first time on the front nine I felt like I was gonna make it," Mickelson said after using the momentum on No. 9 to finish with a 5-under 65 in the final round. "So even though it rang, I wasn't gonna stop. I just stroked it and it went in, so it worked out."
Not even an unexpected distraction could stop Mickelson from bouncing back Sunday after shooting 3-over 73 Saturday — the second-worst round he's ever recorded at the FedEx St. Jude Classic. He put on a scintillating performance through the front nine, making four birdies, although a bogey on the par-4 fifth stalled hi...
Mickelson entered the round out of contention for the title, but that didn't matter to the hundreds of spectators who followed him around TPC Southwind. He rewarded the faithful by putting on a show, making six birdies and finishing the tournament at 6-under.
This week marked the sixth consecutive year Mickelson has played at the FedEx St. Jude Classic, and he often expresses how much he enjoys playing Southwind's challenging course. Next year, the tournament will become the World Golf Championships-FedEx St. Jude Invitational and take place in July.
