Claim: Removing barriers to demobilisation, disarmament and rehabilitation
What evidence supports this claim? | 1. After all , the Union of Congolese Patriots -LRB- UPC/L -RRB- , the armed group he led , is widely acknowledged to have committed numerous other serious crimes against children , as well as adults .
2. It is on these grounds that some have questioned the exclusive child-soldier focus of the ICCs charges against Thomas Lubanga .
3. It can not assist the claims of the ICC to be a body that represents universal concepts of compassion and justice if it is seen to target children - often barely in their teens - in the course of prosecuting war crimes .
4. Moreover , the authority of the ICC is often subject to criticism on the international stage by politicians and jurists linked to both democratic states and the non-liberal or authoritarian regimes most likely to become involved in conflicts that breach humanitarian law .
5. Such an approach risks stigmatizing child soldiers and ignores the wider abuses experienced by children in conflict situations .
6. As the Child Soliders 2008 Global Report notes , Prosecutions should not , by focusing solely on the recruitment and use of child soldiers , exclude other crimes committed against children .
7. Crucially , fear of being targeted by the ICC may lead former child soldiers to avoid disclosing their status to officials running demobilisation programs .
8. They may be deterred from participating in the DDR process .
9. Alternately , they might find themselves ordered to seek more recruits from their villages and communities .
10. For these children participation in the conflict becomes participation in the crime itself . | 9 | Flan2021 | opinion_abstracts_idebate | zs_opt |

CHAPTER FOUR.
OKIOK BECOMES SIMPLE BUT DEEP, AND THE WIZARD TRIES TO MAKE CAPITAL OUT OF EVENTS.
Of course Ujarak, wise man though he was esteemed to be, could not help being struck dumb by the unexpected sight of the gaunt foreigner. Indeed, having so long held supposed intercourse with familiar spirits, it is not improbable that he imagined that one of them had at last come, without waiting for a summons, to punish him because of his deceptive practices, for he turned pale--or rather faintly green--and breathed hard.
Perceiving his state, it suddenly occurred to the sailor to say--"Don't be afraid. I won't hurt you." He inadvertently said it in English, however, so that Ujarak was none the wiser.
"Who is he?" demanded the angekok--perhaps it were more correct to call him wizard.
Okiok, expecting Rooney to reply, looked at him, but a spirit of silence seemed to have come over the stranger, for he made no reply, but shut his eyes, as if he had dropped asleep.
"He is a Kablunet," said Okiok.
"I could see that, even if I had not the double sight of the angekok," replied the other, with a touch of sarcasm, for Eskimos, although by no means addicted to quarrelling, are very fond of satire. They are also prone to go straight to the point in conversation, and although fond of similes and figurative language, they seldom indulge in bombast.
With much solemnity Okiok rejoined that he had no doubt of Ujarak's being aware that the man was a Kablunet.

Sri Lanka's Mahinda Rajapaksa concedes defeat in presidential elections. His former ally, Maithripala Sirisena, will replace him as the country's leader. Popular for ending the civil war, Rajapaksa increasingly seen as authoritarian and nepotistic.
Write an article based on these highlights. | In November, when Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa called an election two years earlier than necessary, the path ahead looked clear for an unprecedented third term in office. But as the nation of 15 million eligible voters waits for the results of yesterday's polls, the 69-year-old's electoral ambitions may be in jeopardy. After enabling an extension of his presidency by doing away with a two-term limit, Rajapaksa's campaign was spectacularly wrong-footed by the surprise defection of dozens of political allies -- including the man who now threatens to unseat him. Maithripala Sirisena, 63, was general-secretary of Rajapaksa's Sri Lanka Freedom Party and health minister in his cabinet when he defected. He is now challenging him for the presidency, on behalf of a broad opposition alliance analysts describe as the most serious challenge Rajapaksa has faced. The race -- which watchdogs say has been marred by hundreds of incidents of political violence and government misuse of state media -- has been too close to call. Opinion polls and analysts spoken to by CNN are divided on the outcome. "It's not auguring very well for (Rajapaksa). He's got a contest on his hands," said Paikiasothy Saravanamuttu, executive director of Sri Lanka's Center for Policy Alternatives. He said Rajapaksa, accustomed to a weak and fragmented opposition, could not have anticipated facing a united alliance of nearly 40 parties -- including 23 parliamentarians who have defected from the president's own grouping, as well as nationalists from the Sinhalese majority and Tamil and Muslim minorities in the ethnically diverse nation. "He didn't expect the candidate to be Sirisena," said Saravanamuttu. "I think he probably underestimated the disaffection in the country and the desire for change." 'Rock star appeal' Rajapaksa, a lawyer by trade, entered parliament in 1970, became prime minister in 2004 and was narrowly elected president a year later. In 2010, he was returned to power with 58% of the vote. His crowning achievement in office has been crushing the Tamil Tigers and bringing an end to the bloody 25-year civil war that had raged between the state and the Tamil separatists. The conduct of both the government and the Tamil Tigers was slammed by legal experts at the United Nations, who accused both sides in a 2011 report of war crimes and crimes against humanity. Yet the victory -- delivering security and renewed prosperity to the war-ravaged nation, with an average of 7% economic growth a year during his presidency -- remains his prime political asset, says Dayan Jayatilleke, a political scientist and former Sri Lankan diplomat. "When voters turn on their TVs and they see the attack on Charlie Hebdo, on the Pakistan school, or Boko Haram, it reminds them of how hideous it is to live under terrorism," he said. "That's something the Sri Lanka voters have done for years, and whatever they think of the rest of his style of governance, they think he's the guy who made it go away." He says the folksy Rajapaksa, whose mustached face is a ubiquitous sight on posters throughout the island nation and is frequently likened to an ancient Sinhalese king, possesses "a rock star appeal." But despite this, dissatisfaction appears to be growing with his rule, which is increasingly seen by some as autocratic, corrupt and nepotistic, he says. Too much power? Following his 2010 reelection, an emboldened Rajapaksa amended the constitution to concentrate power in the presidential office and remove presidential term limits. To many Sri Lankans, says Saravanamuttu, the move felt excessive. "They want the force of the executive president trimmed or abolished." There is also a widespread perception, says Jayatilleka, that Rajapaksa "has been ladling out a disproportionate share of resources to his family," and is focused on building a political dynasty. Three of Rajapaksa's brothers occupy powerful positions: Basil is the Minister of Economic Development, Gotabaya is Defense Secretary and Chamal is the Speaker of Parliament. Minorities alienated. The country's significant minorities -- Tamils, who comprise about 15% of the population, and Muslims, who account for 9% -- have also largely thrown their lot in with the opposition, says Jayatilleke. While Muslim voters had previously supported Rajapaksa over his vocal support for Palestinians, he had "totally alienated" them in recent times with his perceived tolerance of monk-led Buddhist extremist group Bodu Bala Sena (Buddhist Power Force), which supports Rajapaksa's bid for re-election. READ MORE: Fascists in saffron robes? The rise of the Bodu Bala Sena. Last month, the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress defected to the opposition. The Bodu Bala Sena has been blamed for instigating outbursts of anti-Muslim mob violence, including a deadly rampage in the town of Aluthgama in June. READ MORE: Fear, shock among Sri Lankan Muslims in aftermath of mob violence. Sirisena's heartland appeal. Sirisena, who hails from the rice-producing North Central Province, also holds strong appeal as a candidate to Rajapaksa's traditional rural base in the "Sinhalese heartland," says Jayatilleka. "He's a Sinhala Buddhist from a peasant background -- you couldn't get more mainstream than that in Sri Lankan politics," he said. Jailed early in his career in 1971 during a communist insurrection, Sirisena rejoined mainstream politics through the Sri Lanka Freedom Party. While he lacks strong persona; charisma, coming across as "a sober serious kind of man," Sirisena presented a more appetizing alternative to voters than other potential opposition candidates, said Jayatilleke. The opposition also benefited from having run a stronger campaign than the government, he said. So much so, Saravanamuttu says, that "conventional wisdom suggests that (Sirisena) may have an edge" at the polls. For his part, Jayatilleka disagrees, comparing Rajapaksa's prospects to those of Russian President Vladimir Putin during his most recent re-election. "The international media expected Putin to lose because opinion in Moscow and St Petersburg was against him," he said. "But in the provinces where most of the votes come from, they voted the other way, because Putin was seen as having crushed the Chechen terrorist threat and having restored the state of Russia in the world." Jayatilleka's pick? "Rajapaksa will probably lose all the cities. And the opposition, having won the campaign, will probably lose the election."

It’s a Fergie geek-out! Singer absolutely lives for ‘The Last Unicorn’ apparently
In the way some people live for Star Wars and others adore the Twilight books, Fergie — pop singer extraordinaire and one-time member of the Black Eyed Peas — loooooves The Last Unicorn, the 1982 cartoon fantasy about a unicorn (voiced by Mia Farrow) who, to make sure she survives being the last of her kind, is transformed into a woman and falls in love with the evil king’s son (Jeff Bridges). Fergie has been a super-fan of this thing since she was 8, and stayed one through a life filled with many episodes of Kids Incorporated, a stint in the short-lived girl group Wild Orchid, movies, albums, concert tours and marriage to Josh Duhamel.
The Last Unicorn is out now on Blu-ray/DVD, and this exclusive clip from the bonus features showcases a recent touring screening of the ’80s flick, including a stop with Fergie discussing how she used to pick out the movie to play at slumber parties back in the day:
“I thought I was the unicorn. I used to put little stickers on my head and really believe that I could just really turn into one.”
And you’ve heard of dudes being “Notebooked”? Well, Duhamel was “Unicorned,” since Fergie admits she made her husband watch The Last Unicorn. But it turns out he digs it, too. The two are now developing a musical adaptation of Peter S. Beagle’s 1960s novel for the Broadway — what Fergie calls “a dream that’s become a reality.”
At the very least, Fergie now can get a new DVD copy of The Last Unicorn and watch it on her laptop while living the Fergalicious lifestyle flying first class over London Bridge.

The Google Problem: What People Really Think of the Presidential Possibilities
ABC News’ Sarah Parnass reports:
We already knew that Rick Santorum had a Google problem, but it turns out he’s not the only one.
Search “Romney,” and among the top results is a site called spreadingromney.com (Santorum’s is spreadingsantorum.com), which gives the following, made-up definition: “romney (rom-ney) v. 1. To defecate in terror. See also: santorum.”
Hovering over the word “terror” in the “romney” definition leads to a Huffington Post article about Romney’s dog, Seamus, who was infamously transported to a family vacation in a cage atop the Romney family vehicle.
Web designer Jack Shepler posted spreadingromney.com Jan. 10, and two days later, Rachel Maddow mentioned it on her show, skyrocketing it to fame. Shepler told ABC News that page views that day were around 7,000, and Monday, they were up to nearly 24,000.
Shepler said spreadingsantorum.com served as his inspiration, and that Dan Savage, the sex advice columnist and gay rights activist credited for that site, helped spreadingromney.com gain popularity by tweeting a link to it from his Twitter account, @fakedansavage.
In the past, Savage reported he was asked to take down his site. Shepler said the Romney campaign had not contacted him. He also said he was baffled as to why spreadingromney.com had become so popular.
“When I launched the site, I shared it on Facebook, Twitter, Reddit and Google+,” Shepler wrote in an email to ABC News. “Since then, it has simply been reposted and reshared by site visitors and my own followers and friends. I have not done any other promoting of the content besides answering interviews with reporters.”
According to Google Trends, “Santorum” spiked in searching popularity between Feb. 8 and 9, right after the candidate’s wins in Minnesota, Missouri and Colorado. Salt Lake City searched the most for “romney” and “santorum” in the past month.
While Santorum’s and Romney’s new definitions might pain them enough, there’s another Google algorithm out there causing problems for other candidates.
Google Autocomplete, launched in 2010 as Google Instant, seems to mimic telepathy, finishing sentences better than any sweetheart, at least in theory.
But when ABC News plugged in phrases related to the presidential candidates last week, we wondered if Google perhaps “thought” we were a bunch of Negative Nancies: Most of the search results that came up were insulting or presumably pejorative.
When we typed ”Mitt Romney is …” the first four suggestions were: “Mitt Romney is Mexican,” “Mitt Romney is a tool,” “Mitt Romney is an idiot,” “Mitt Romney is a serial killer.”
Google seemed to “think” we thought Obama, Santorum and Newt Gingrich were all idiots, or that Obama and Santorum were gay or that Gingrich and Santorum should drop out or that Romney, Santorum and Gingrich were not conservative.
We asked some non-journos in Texas and Maine to Google the same phrases that we did. In Texas, Google delivered almost the same results, except for one phrase. In addition to “a socialist,” “black” and “a Muslim,” Google suggested “the antichrist” when a search began with ”Obama is not …”
Googling the same phrases in Maine — where Republican caucuses ended Saturday — offered the same results as the original, negative phrases. Though Google takes location into account when searching Google Maps, it turns out that location doesn’t play much of a role in Google Autocomplete.
Brad Fry, director of the digital marketing firm Zeta, explained that Google’s search suggestions had nothing to do with what anyone was thinking, or not thinking. Google, Fry said, doesn’t actually “think” about what we would like to search at all.
“The Autocomplete suggestions are not manually influenced by Google except in extremely rare cases,” Fry wrote in an email to ABC News. “Google is a machine that reflects the activity of its users.”
None of the searchers in our experiment were signed into Gmail, but according to Google Support, search history would affect results if users were signed in.
If you often visit sites nominating Obama for sainthood, for example, Google might suggest “Obama should be canonized” instead of “Obama should be impeached.”
“Google’s Autocomplete suggestions are simply based on what people are searching for and do not reflect any particular agenda,” Fry said.
In other words, these search results popped up because a lot of other people had searched using the same phrases before us, not because Google had hand-picked them.
That could mean that the “enthusiasm gap” facing the Republican Party might extend to the rest of the country, or at least the rest of the Googleverse.
Obama’s results came back negative about as many times as they did for each of the GOP candidates.
But Fry emphasized that search results were not necessarily “true or even possible,” and he didn’t believe they reflected much about the American political system.
“It is, however, a reflection of the appetite of the public for negative stories about politicians,” Fry said, ”something I am sure your news desk knows already :-).”

In the early 1970s, Corea took a profound stylistic turn from avant-garde to a crossover jazz fusion style that incorporated Latin jazz with Return to Forever. Named after their eponymous 1972 album, the band relied on both acoustic and electronic instrumentation and drew upon Latin American styles more than on rock music. On their first two records, Return to Forever consisted of Flora Purim on vocals, Joe Farrell on flute and soprano saxophone, Airto Moreira on drums , and Stanley Clarke on double bass. Drummer Lenny White and guitarist Bill Connors later joined Corea and Clarke to form the second version of the group, which expanded the earlier Latin jazz elements with a more rock and funk-oriented sound inspired by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, led by his Bitches Brew bandmate John McLaughlin. This incarnation of the group recorded the album Hymn of the Seventh Galaxy, before Connors' departure and replacement by Al Di Meola, who was present on the subsequent releases Where Have I Known You Before, No Mystery, and Romantic Warrior. Corea's composition "Spain" appeared on the 1972 Return to Forever album Light as a Feather. This is probably his most popular piece, and it has been recorded by a variety of artists. There are also a variety of recordings by Corea himself. These included an arrangement for piano and symphony orchestra that appeared in 1999 and a collabration with vocalist Bobby McFerrin on the 1992 album Play. Corea usually performs "Spain" with a prelude based on Joaquin Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez (1940), which earlier received a jazz orchestration on Davis and Gil Evans' Sketches of Spain. In 1976, he issued My Spanish Heart, influenced by Latin American music and featuring vocalist Gayle Moran (Corea's wife) and electric violinist Jean-Luc Ponty. The album combined jazz and flamenco, supported by Minimoog backup and a horn section.

However, a few days later the French Revolution of 1848 broke out, which replaced the monarchy of Louis Philippe with the Second French Republic. In June 1848, Paris workers, disenchanted with the new government, built barricades and raised red flags.

What is a question about this article? If the question is unanswerable, say "unanswerable".
This view of 'diplomatic drift' as the cause of the war was first popularised by A. W, Kinglake, who portrayed the British as victims of newspaper sensationalism and duplicitous French and Ottoman diplomacy. More recently, the historians Andrew Lambert and Winfried Baumgart have argued that, first, Britain was following a geopolitical strategy in aiming to destroy a fledgling Russian Navy which might challenge the Royal Navy for control of the seas, and second that the war was a joint European response to a century of Russian expansion not just southwards but also into western Europe.

By. Vanessa Allen. PUBLISHED:. 01:49 EST, 22 May 2013. |. UPDATED:. 13:32 EST, 23 May 2013. Blame: Actress Penelope Keith has attacked women who get divorced later in life, saying they are to blame for pushing up house prices. As forthright Audrey Forbes-Hamilton in sitcom To The Manor Born, she was never afraid to speak her mind. Yesterday actress Penelope Keith spoke out to defend her real-life ‘manor’ – taking aim at wind turbines, oligarchs and a generation of ‘silver splitters’. She blamed a surge in divorces among baby boomer couples for driving up property prices in the Home Counties, as newly-single women in their 50s and 60s bought up flats and cottages. And she lambasted developers who built ‘vast housing estates’ in her adopted county of Surrey, and the super-rich oligarchs who filled its skies with helicopter traffic. Miss Keith, watched by millions in TV shows including The Good Life, gave a wide-ranging interview to Country Life magazine in which she said parts of Surrey were under constant threat from developers. The actress, 73, conceded that the county’s stockbroker-belt did need more affordable housing and appeared to blame baby boomer divorcees for driving up property prices. She said: ‘I read about affordable houses that are £300,000. Sorry? Affordable for whom? It’s a terribly knotty problem. ‘If only we could educate people to go on living together for longer. It’s all these single dwellings, all these women in their 50s and 60s who suddenly want their own space, to be their own people. To do what?’ Figures have shown that divorces among couples of retirement age – dubbed the ‘silver splitters’ – have almost doubled in a decade, with the majority instigated by women. The phenomenon has been blamed on increased life expectancy, better health and a greater ‘lust for life’ among the baby boomers compared with previous generations. The comparative financial independence of women has also given them the freedom to leave their husbands – something earlier generations were less able to do. Actress Diana Quick was 61 when she separated from actor Bill Nighy last year, after a 28-year relationship. Sympathy: Keith, who starred as Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in To the Manor Born, has said she has no sympathy for women in their fifties who leave their husbands because they want 'their own space' Marriage: Keith has been married to her husband Rodney Timson for over 30 years. She met the twice-divorced policeman, who is eight years her junior while appearing on stage in Chichester, West Sussex. At the time, she said: ‘There are far more couples splitting up in their 60s now and one reason is that they can. Economically, they have more independence.’ Property sales have been affected by the surge in later-life divorces and estate agents have warned of a shortage of smaller properties as more people choose to live alone. In her interview, Miss Keith said London was now ‘too full’, placing increased demand on the surrounding Home Counties. Penelope Keith with To The Manor Born co-star Peter Bowles. She said: ‘Vast housing estates built in the countryside remove the reason why people want to move to the country. If you want to embrace a culture, you can’t flood it, but it seems they will never build just a few houses in an area.’ Other threats to the Surrey countryside included helicopter traffic from the oligarchs who have bought gated mansions in St George’s Hill and Wentworth, she warned. Surrey is the richest county for property wealth and has become a magnet for Russian oligarchs and other ‘non-doms’. Miss Keith, a former High Sheriff of Surrey who is involved with several charities and serves as one of the county’s deputy lieutenants, questioned if the new wealthy residents wanted to be part of the traditional community. She said: ‘Everyone thinks you live among all these rich people, but you can’t get near any of that money… How do I let them know about battered wives, or my prison charity, or the school in India? I don’t think they want to know.’ Miss Keith continued: ‘There are wonderful places, such as the Surrey Hills… but if you’re vulnerable or on the lower echelons, it’s pretty bloody awful.’ She came to prominence with her portrayal of social-climbing Margot Leadbetter in The Good Life from 1975 to 1978, starring with Richard Briers, Felicity Kendal and Paul Eddington, and played lady of the manor Audrey fforbes-Hamilton in To The Manor Born, broadcast from 1979 to 1981. Miss Keith lives in a village near Godalming with her husband of 36 years, ex-policeman Rodney Timson. The couple also have a home in the Scottish Highlands, and Miss Keith questioned the impact of wind turbines built in the area. She said: ‘There are a hell of a lot of wind farms in the Highlands. Do they really produce that much energy? I can’t square the circle. ‘As you enter London, it says you’re entering a low-emission zone just as overhead come these great jumbos spewing out more gunge than I would in my entire life.’ Couples in their forties are most likely to divorce, but more men aged over 60 split than women of the same age (Source: Office for National Statistics)

Washington (CNN) -- We now know President Barack Obama and House Speaker John Boehner agree on at least one thing: In 2014, keeping the political base happy matters more than advancing once-critical policy initiatives. For the GOP speaker, a personal commitment to big immigration changes, including a path to legal status for millions of undocumented workers, was sacrificed after it became clear there would be a conservative revolt. The argument from the right: turning out conservatives is the key to 2014 midterm success, and big immigration changes would anger the base. And now the President's counter move: dropping from his new budget an idea he said was essential just a year ago -- a more modest calculation of inflation adjustments for Social Security. Then, it was a critical piece of entitlement reform and deficit reduction. Now, the calculation is simple: liberals hate the idea, and pushing it in 2014 would anger a base the Democrats need in November.

Install a natural wake-up light in your kids' bedrooms.
Light is an awesome director of your body's natural clock. Light naturally makes you wake up and dark naturally makes you tired.
OPTIONS: A. The most common types of natural light there are : E-lamps air conditioners a gas stove an electric fan Install an alarm clock for school. You can either set it to be hitting your clock back and forth, or, you can simply turn the clock up to keep it going. B. All this power actually comes from the natural way light changes your brain's circadian rhythm, which is what happens when your body's sleep clocks are shut off. Most teens will start waking up in the morning, but some teens will wake up before one. C. The natural light shifts your body clock to sleep mode, which naturally starts the fall and finish cycle. Put a set of egg whites and a little lemon juice in your kids' room, or use aromatherapy oils like pine or rosemary infused oils. D. Because not all areas of the globe will actually have the sun at the times you want to get up and go to bed, using a natural light lamp can work just as well. Some of these lights also have built-in sounds that can be played while your kids are falling asleep. | D. | 0 | Flan2021 | hellaswag:1.1.0 | zs_opt |

Obama Signs Hate Crimes Bill
President Obama signed a hate crimes bill into law on Wednesday, telling an audience at the White House that the provision would “strengthen the protections against crimes based on the color of your skin, the faith in your heart, or the place of your birth.”
The law expands the definition of violent federal hate crimes to those committed because of a victim’s sexual orientation. Under existing federal law, hate crimes are defined as those motivated by the victim’s race, color, religion or national origin.
“Prosecutors will have new tools to work with states in order to prosecute to the fullest those who would perpetrate such crimes,” Mr. Obama said, speaking in the East Room of the White House at an evening reception, “Because no one in America should ever be afraid to walk down the street holding the hands of the person they love.”
The hate crimes measure was included in a defense spending bill, which Democratic leaders in Congress intentionally did in an effort to keep Republicans from blocking the legislation. The legislation had been under consideration in Congress for years. It was named in memory of Matthew Shepard, the gay Wyoming college student who was murdered 11 years ago.
“You understood that we must stand against crimes that are meant not only to break bones, but to break spirits — not only to inflict harm, but to instill fear,” Mr. Obama said. “You understand that the rights afforded every citizen under our Constitution mean nothing if we do not protect those rights — both from unjust laws and violent acts.”
The audience at the White House included Denis and Judy Shepard, the parents of Matthew, and the family of the late Senator Edward M. Kennedy, who championed the legislation for years, but died before the bill was ultimately passed.

On Friday in Geneva, the Isleworth Mona Lisa is to be revealed by its owners — a Swiss consortium, who argue that their version is Leonardo’s first stab at the painting; and that the famous version, held in the Louvre in Paris, was his second bite of the cherry.

The Irish Famine of 1740-1741 in the Kingdom of Ireland, was estimated to have killed between 20% and 38% of the 1740 population of 2.4 million people, the upper estimate a proportionately greater loss than during the worst years of the Great Famine of 1845-1852. The famine of 1740-41 was due to extremely cold and then rainy weather in successive years, resulting in food losses in three categories: a series of poor grain harvests, a shortage of milk, and frost damage to potatoes. At this time, grains, particularly oats, were more important than potatoes as staples in the diet of most workers. Deaths from mass starvation in 1740-41 were compounded by an outbreak of fatal diseases. The cold and its effects extended across Europe, but mortality was higher in Ireland because both grain and potatoes failed. This is now considered by scholars to be the last serious cold period at the end of the Little Ice Age of about 1400-1800. By the mid-19th century's better-known Great Famine of 1845-1852, potatoes made up a greater portion of the Irish diets, with adverse consequences when the crops failed. This famine differed by "cause, scale and timing:" it was caused by an oomycete infection which destroyed much of the potato crop for several years running. The crisis was exacerbated by insufficient relief and extreme government regulations.

Paragraph: The Domestic Violence Legal Assistance Program fills the gap of legal resources for domestic violence survivors who can't afford an attorney. Domestic violence survivors in Jackson, Vicksburg, Hattiesburg, Oxford and Pascagoula can all get help. Julia Crockett, deputy director of Central Southwest Mississippi Legal Services Corp., said the program expects to help nearly 1,000 domestic violence victims. Crockett said legal help gives domestic abuse survivors a way to rebuild their lives. "They have been made to feel by the abuser that no one is going to help them do anything, so when they come to us they are desperate," she said. "Those who need legal help and don't get it feel totally lost. Because then they feel like they are forced to stay in that situation." Crockett said the program, funded by a $300,000 grant from the U.S. Justice Department, has no economic restrictions on who can get help. Legal services typically helps the poor. Gladys Bunzy, who said she was in an abusive relationship with a boyfriend for eight years, said such a program is long overdue and could be a lifeline for those escaping violent relationships. "When I finally made up my mind to leave, I had a restraining order put against him and that was $50 but that was $50 well spent to me," said Bunzy, 40. "For people who can't afford it, this will be a godsend ... If a woman knows she is going to get some help that will be a burden off her mind, if the law will help her keep that person away from her." Gwen Bouie-Haynes, project director of the Domestic Violence Services Center for Catholic Charities Inc., said often domestic violence survivors do not have the money to seek legal representation. "Legal assistance is a major issue for women fleeing a domestic violence situation," she said. "Often times women are in need of immediate legal assistance services for the protection of the mother and the child. To get a protective order you need to be represented by an attorney." Crockett said the pilot program was launched in 1998 at the Haven House Family Shelter Inc., a domestic violence shelter for women and children in Vicksburg. The program has helped victims in 90 court cases, and 150 legal counseling sessions have been held there.

Context: Hoping to rebound from their first loss of the season, the Titans flew to Ford Field for a Week 13 Thanksgiving game against the winless Detroit Lions. In the first quarter, Tennessee drew first blood as rookie RB Chris Johnson got a 6-yard TD run. The Lions would respond with kicker Jason Hanson getting a 53-yard field goal. The Titans would answer with Johnson getting a 58-yard TD run, along with DE Dave Ball returning an interception 15 yards for a touchdown. In the second quarter, Tennessee increased their lead with RB LenDale White getting a 6-yard and a 2-yard TD run. Detroit would reply with QB Daunte Culpepper completing a 2-yard TD pass to TE Michael Gaines. In the third quarter, kicker Rob Bironas would kick field goals of 41 and 49 yards to put the Titans up by 31, and in the fourth quarter, he would nail field goals of 45 and 43 yards to put the Titans up for good. With the win, Tennessee not only improved to 11-1 on the season, but the Titans were the only AFC South team to defeat all four NFC North teams in interconference play.

Write an article based on this "Substitute Marc Pugh's late header ended the FA Cup hopes of League Two side Portsmouth as Bournemouth advanced into the fifth round."
Article: | Media playback is not supported on this device
Pompey showed more vim and vigour in attack than the Premier League side and took the lead when Gary Roberts tapped in Marc McNulty's cross.
The Cherries came alive in the last 20 minutes and equalised through Josh King, who headed in from eight yards.
Pugh made it 2-1 the 83rd minute when his header went in off Adam Webster.
For 70 minutes, Bournemouth gave the impression of a side who viewed the FA Cup as a distraction.
Eddie Howe made 10 changes to the starting line-up that drew against Sunderland, but the replacements did little to prove to their manager they are worth a regular spot in the first team.
The double substitution of Pugh and Matt Ritchie in the 62nd minute changed the dynamic of the Bournemouth attack, as the Premier League side finally gained control on the pitch.
They levelled matters through King, who provided the deftest of touches on Eunan O'Kane's free-kick from the right. Irishman O'Kane was one of the shining lights for the Cherries.
With Bournemouth eager to capitalise on their dominance, Lewis Grabban drove forward on the right and drove in a shot that was saved by Ryan Fulton. However, the loose ball fell to the fast-arriving Pugh, who nodded in via Webster.
Since winning the FA Cup in 2008, Portsmouth have suffered relegations, points deductions and two administrations.
The club is now run by a supporters' trust, and today those who have backed them could be heartened that there may be better days ahead.
Pompey will perhaps rue not making the most of their golden spell in the first half, when they had the Cherries pressed up against a wall.
Aside from the goal, McNulty forced a great save from Adam Federici and scorer Roberts fired wide from six yards with just the keeper to beat.
Paul Cook's side are seven points adrift of an automatic promotion spot in League Two - but repeat displays will surely see them in the shake-up in May.
Portsmouth manager Paul Cook:
"I'm very proud of our football club. Eventually Bournemouth's quality came to the fore.
"We have big days in front of us.
"You don't have to win to get clapped off. We didn't win but we were clapped off.
"We turned up today after losing last week to Oxford."
Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe:
"Give credit to the way Pompey played, they could have gone direct but played very well. We're glad we're through.
"We were poor in the first half. You have to give them a lot of credit for the way they played.
"The players showed real character. Once we made the substitutions we were the better team.
"The tempo of the game was high and we didn't deal with it very well. As the second half wore on we created more chances."
Pompey face Morecambe away on Tuesday, and the Cherries are back in Premier League action at Crystal Palace on the same day. | 9 | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |
Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. Sean Connery may have been eying retirement, but he and Bond were by now moulded together, his sleek machismo indelibly imprinted on 007 forever.
2. It isn't "Thunderball" and it sure isn't "Goldfinger," but it IS old-school Connery Bond, so obviously it's a darn good time.
3. This noisy and wildly violent picture... is evidently pegged to the notion that nothing succeeds like excess. And because it is shamelessly excessive, it is about a half-hour too long.
4. Tired, poorly paced Bond from 1967, with Sean Connery displaying his discontent.
5. A well-crafted installment in the Bond series.
6. Sean Connery's disenchantment with his starring role is unmistakable in this, the fifth Bond spectacular.
7. Sean Connery plays 007 with his usual finesse.
8. A primetime Bond adventure plus the best Bond movie theme of all time.
9. Roald Dahl's implausible script is padded out with the usual exotic locations, stunts, and trickery.
10. Tons of fun, really, and Donald Pleasence as Blofeld is inimitable.
What was the overall consensus about the movie? | With exotic locales, impressive special effects, and a worthy central villain, You Only Live Twice overcomes a messy and implausible story to deliver another memorable early Bond flick. | 4 | Flan2021 | opinion_abstracts_rotten_tomatoes | zs_opt |

Select the correct sentiment of the following review: Peter Sellers plays Dick Scratcher (ha,ha), a cook for a pirate ship who takes over as captain after he murders the previous one. Although he's witnessed a treasure being buried, he begins losing his memory and the treasure map he obtains becomes blank. Thus, Dick is forced to find someone who can see and communicate with ghosts (do you place an ad for that?) and help lead a path to the treasure. It's mind boggling how anyone could have bankrolled this pointless film. Former Goon Spike Milligan replaced Medak as director, and given Medak's talents in the film The Ruling Class, you can probably guess which of the grainy, poorly lit scenes had Milligan in the director's chair. Peter Boyle makes a brief appearance in the film's first 10 minutes as the doomed pirate captain. He's probably quite thankful that Young Frankenstein was released the same year this was filmed and canned, so that he can keep this off his resume. Franciosa looks dashing as the handsome power-behind-Scratcher but he and Seller both look pretty desperate, with even Sellers' makeup and hair looking quite terrible. They had to know this movie was bombing even as they were filming it. With lines like these, I can understand any possible unease:
PIERRE: (about to be hanged) You'll pay for this.
SCRATCHER: No, I won't. I'll do it for free.
And that's one of the GOOD jokes. It's amazing to me that much of Sellers prolific material is still in the vaults, but this was made available on VHS more than 15 years ago! How about someone stepping up to the plate and releasing in the US the well-received British TV program "A Show Called Fred" starring Sellers, Milligan, and directed by the great Richard Lester?

New York (CNN) -- A 57-year-old musician arrested in connection with the drugs found in actor Philip Seymour Hoffman's apartment was granted bail Friday.
The musician, Robert Vineberg, was among four people arrested in Manhattan in the days after the apparent heroin overdose of the Academy Award-winning actor on February 2.
Prosecutors said Vineberg, who was arrested on a felony charge of criminal possession of a controlled substance, had just under 50 small bags of heroin as well as packaging paraphernalia in his apartment during the raid. In another one of his apartments in the same Mott Street building, prosecutors said, 250 small bags of heroin were found.
In addition, prosecutors said, detectives recovered nearly $1,300 in cash on Vineberg.
Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Edward McLaughlin set bail at $200,000 bond or $40,000 cash. Vineberg is due back in court Tuesday.
Vineberg's attorney, Edward Kratt, asked for a lower bail, saying his client has been an "accomplished musician" since the late 1980s and a "functioning heroin addict" with a 10-bag-a-day habit. The large quantity of drugs found in the apartments were for Vineberg's personal use, Kratt said.
The judge, however, appeared to doubt that assertion, saying that the amount of heroin in Vineberg's possession was "off the charts."
Vineberg was found to have the actor's phone number stored in his cell phone, a law enforcement official told CNN. Police discovered the largest amount of what is believed to be heroin in his apartment, the source said.
Outside court, Kratt said his client hoped to raise bail money with the help of friends.

Popper held that rationality is not restricted to the realm of empirical or scientific theories, but that it is merely a special case of the general method of criticism, the method of finding and eliminating contradictions in knowledge without ad-hoc-measures. According to this view, rational discussion about metaphysical ideas, about moral values and even about purposes is possible. Popper's student W.W. Bartley III tried to radicalise this idea and made the controversial claim that not only can criticism go beyond empirical knowledge, but that everything can be rationally criticised.

On June 25, 2006, Warren Buffett (then the world's richest person, estimated worth of US$62 billion as of April 16, 2008) pledged to give the foundation approximately 10 million Berkshire Hathaway Class B shares spread over multiple years through annual contributions, with the first year's donation of 500,000 shares being worth approximately US$1.5 billion. Buffett set conditions so that these contributions do not simply increase the foundation's endowment, but effectively work as a matching contribution, doubling the Foundation's annual giving: "Buffett's gift came with three conditions for the Gates foundation: Bill or Melinda Gates must be alive and active in its administration; it must continue to qualify as a charity; and each year it must give away an amount equal to the previous year's Berkshire gift, plus an additional amount equal to 5 percent of net assets. Buffett gave the foundation two years to abide by the third requirement." The Gates Foundation received 5% (500,000) of the shares in July 2006 and will receive 5% of the remaining earmarked shares in the July of each following year (475,000 in 2007, 451,250 in 2008). In July 2013, Buffet announced another donation of his company's Class B, this time in the amount worth $2 billion, is going to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Summarize this article:
type Book genre True Crime publisher Harper pages 352 publication date 02/27/18 author Michelle McNamara
Patton Oswalt still can’t recall the aftermath of his late wife’s death.
He’d been married to Michelle McNamara for more than a decade when she suddenly died in her sleep on April 21, 2016. They had a young daughter, Alice, born in 2009, and worked successfully in different areas: Oswalt being an acclaimed actor and comedian, McNamara an accomplished armchair detective who ran the popular cold-case website True Crime Diary. Yet when she passed, Oswalt immersed himself in her space — he became committed to completing I’ll Be Gone in the Dark, the true-crime book McNamara had been researching and writing for nearly as long as they were married, and bringing it out into the world.
How did he do it? Manage to push himself through such an intense grieving period? “I wish I could tell you some moment of epiphany when I realized that I was going to finish it, but I don’t have it,” Oswalt tells EW, trying to recall the steps he took to get the book done. “That whole year is just this really painful blur.”
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark marks McNamara’s greatest achievement, a fitting cap to a career of investigative writing. It’s the product of her nearly decade-long hunt for the Golden State Killer, who committed at least 50 sexual assaults and 10 murders from 1976 to 1986, but is fashioned as her own story too: a personal account of what it means to track down a killer, intermixing conventions of memoir and short-story writing for a wholly innovative true-crime read. At the time of her death, she’d written much of the book, but (spoiler alert) was unable to unmask the killer, with handwritten notes and thousands of computer files left unassembled.
With regard to completing the book, Oswalt can only describe what happened in the broadest of terms: how he, while wading through shock, grief, and chaos, assumed the mentality of, “I’m going to get this book done.” Reflecting on that unimaginably difficult time, Oswalt apologizes repeatedly for having no specifics to draw on, only that he started “sending emails,” “making calls,” and encouraging all involved to “get this done.” He does remember being nervous about getting the book right, however. “Absolutely, yeah,” he says when asked. “It was her book and it’s an amazing book. I wanted to do right by her.”
HarperCollins Publishers; Jim Spellman/WireImage
Jennifer Barth, McNamara’s editor at HarperCollins who acquired I’ll Be Gone in the Dark in the summer of 2013, says that Oswalt took great, necessary steps to ensure he did just that. She recalls how he recruited McNamara’s researcher Paul Haynes and crime journalist Billy Jensen to compile the book. (The pair wrote the slim third and final section; other subsections are versions of articles previously published by Los Angeles magazine, and clarifying editor’s notes are sprinkled throughout.) Barth explains that through his profound memory of McNamara, Oswalt guided them all through the process of doing right by her. “He’s just been leading the way,” she says. “He knows the book: He just got how Michelle thought about it.”
Barth, Oswalt, Haynes, and Jensen would sit down periodically as they put the book together, engaging in healthy debate over the late author’s intentions, often in regard to turns of phrases Barth now describes as “vintage Michelle.” There would be disagreements, inevitable given the sensitivity of the endeavor, but Barth recalls Oswalt being engaged throughout the process, avoiding “knee-jerk” reactions and instead providing thoughtful commentary and perspective. “If Michelle had been married to somebody else, I’m not sure that they would have pressed on with the book and been able to help make it happen in the way Patton did,” Barth says candidly. “It was a total commitment. … He’s just been a real champion.”
Because of McNamara’s frank approach to storytelling, I’ll Be Gone in the Dark provides small, revealing glimpses into what her family life looked like: How she’d scour the web in a playroom after her husband and daughter were sound asleep, or how while attending a film premiere for Oswalt, she’d lurk in the background, eyes glued to her phone, as case clues kept rolling in. Oswalt says the random nature of facts “crashing in” meant that McNamara “was always writing,” and that it was important for him to leave her to her process, noting, “I was very conscious of giving her time alone to write.” Even at a distance, though, he saw what motivated her — what her obsession was rooted in.
“She was a very logical person with a lot of compassion,” Oswalt says. “When she saw someone act with such cruelty, the logic part of her brain would kick in and go, ‘Well, that kind of cruelty should be met with justice, and there should be someone to answer for the victims.’ To have all of those threads and have it be open and unresolved for so long really ate away at her sense of order. She took on the pain of the survivors and of [those] that lost family members because of this guy. That’s what drove her.”
Barth remembers what Oswalt brought to the process: He’d speak openly about losing McNamara and the difficulty of moving forward, in effect “giving insight into how involved she was in this book and this story, and just the humanity of the victims and even the killer.” He’d tell stories and provide photos that had a stinging intimacy, of the kind that scattered notes and research could only hint at. Oswalt’s main goal, Barth adds, was to keep things “in Michelle’s voice.”
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark publishes Tuesday, concluding a nearly two-year journey to completion. Time has passed and life has changed for the family: Oswalt has remarried, tying the knot with actress Meredith Salenger late last year. But he’s no less committed to honoring McNamara’s memory. He checks in with Haynes and Jensen about once a week, and they talk about showcasing more of her writing. Oswalt particularly hopes to get True Crime Diary back “up and running,” and, together with Haynes, form a nonprofit in her name to aid investigative journalism.
Yet with the book’s release right around the corner, Oswalt reveals that it’s difficult for him — even, or perhaps especially, given the praise being heaped on it. He can’t help but look at things from McNamara’s perspective, as both her longtime partner and a fellow writer, and realize that this isn’t precisely the story she wanted to tell. “It’s very painful,” he admits. “I think other people are going to really love the book, but to me, there’s so much that’s left unsaid and unfinished.”
I’ll Be Gone in the Dark is available for purchase. You can also listen to the companion podcast about the making of the book, featuring contributions by Oswalt and others involved. ||||| Patton Oswalt is honoring his late wife through her work.
The 49-year-old comedian, who lost his first wife, Michelle McNamara, to a "combination of prescription medications and an undiagnosed heart condition," in April 2016, celebrated the posthumous release of her book, I'll Be Gone in the Dark, on Tuesday, with a heartfelt tweet that brought tears to more than a few fans' eyes.
"You did it, baby. The book is excellent, the writing brilliant," Oswalt wrote. "You tried to bring kindness to chaos, which was your way. #IllBeGoneInTheDark #MichelleMcNamara."
The comments were immediately flooded with replies, including from Mae Whitman, who shared a bushel of heart emojis followed by, "cannot wait to read."

Summary: | – Michelle McNamara's posthumous memoir was released Tuesday, and in it, Patton Oswalt's late wife reveals her struggle with the baby blues after the couple's daughter, Alice, was born. "I was inconsolable for the first two weeks," she writes, recalling that Oswalt told friends she was struggling with "postpartum depression," Radar reports. But "it wasn’t new-mom blues," she writes. "It was old-mom blues. Holding my newborn daughter, I got it. I got the love that guts you, the sense of responsibility that narrows the world to a pair of needy eyes. At 39, I understood my mother’s love for me for the first time"—and her own mother had passed away two years prior. McNamara was working on I'll Be Gone in the Dark, which mostly focuses on her almost 10-year-long hunt for the Golden State Killer, when she died in her sleep in 2016. Oswalt, who wrote the book's afterword, honored her and the book Tuesday, ETOnline reports, tweeting a photo of the book atop her gravestone. "You did it, baby," he wrote. "The book is excellent, the writing brilliant. You tried to bring kindness to chaos, which was your way." He tells Entertainment Weekly he was determined to see the book to completion when McNamara died, and that even though he's proud of it, "it’s very painful" she couldn't finish it herself. "I think other people are going to really love the book, but to me, there’s so much that’s left unsaid and unfinished."

Interesting to read comments by viewers regarding Omega Code... many of the overwhelmingly positive comments were lifted almost word for word from TBN broadcasts... the movie looks as if it were made to go directly to video, to be stocked besides the three-part rapture series that was done by some other religious group in the 70s.. dont remember it? You wont remember this one either in a year or two. This is the first movie I have ever seen where it was implied that it was your religious duty to go to it and buy as many tickets as possible to save souls... very shameful... this just goes to show that if you are a televangelist's son, you too can play high-roller Hollywood producer with lil ole ladies tithe money...

You can use this to remind your Shih Tzu she should use the bathroom when outside, further reinforcing the desired behavior. Say "Go potty!" when you know your Shih Tzu is about to eliminate. If you see her squatting or sniffing, for example, say, "Go potty!" Eventually, your Shih Tzu will learn "Go potty!" means she should use the bathroom. If your Shih Tzu is dawdling on a walk, saying "Go potty!" may encourage her to eliminate. In the event you catch your Shih Tzu eliminating indoors, scold in the immediate moment.
