Very soon, it had been retweeted more than 10,000 times. A picture of him holding the European Cup aloft had been posted little more than an hour before and proved to be even more popular. Somewhere in between the two, he shuffled through the interview area in the concrete bowels of Benfica’s Stadium of Light, bashful and reluctant to stop and dwell on the most amazing night of his professional life.

Susan Bunning was fired from her job for her 'polyamorous lifestyle' The Brisbane woman worked for Catholic organisation Centacare. She was confronted by her managers for being a member of a 'poly' group. Ms Bunning was listed on the Brisbane Poly Group site as a counsellor. She was accused of gross misconduct, bringing Centacare into disrepute, and of behaviour not in line with the Catholic Church. Ms Bunning alleged that she had been discriminated against. A complaint to the Human Rights Commission was denied. Her appeal to the Federal Court was dismissed as not likely to succeed. There are no figures on polyamory in Australia at present.
Write an article based on these highlights. | A Brisbane woman has lost a court case after she accused her Catholic Church employer of sex discrimination when the organisation fired her for being involved in an online polyamorous community. Susan Bunning was hired by Centacare in 2007 and worked for the company until August 2013 when the Catholic social services organisation terminated her employment after discovering her contact details listed on the Brisbane Poly Group website. A group calling themselves 'Brisbane Poly People' describes the community as a 'social and discussion group based in Brisbane for all who are interested in open relationships, polyamory, and the varied alternatives to monogamy'. Susan Bunning was fired from Catholic organisation Centacare after the company discovered her details on a polyamorous website. The Federal Circuit Court judgement showed that Ms Bunning had been accused by Centacare of gross misconduct, breaching the company's code of conduct and bringing the it into disrepute. Ms Bunning was informed that her lifestyle contradicted the morals of the Catholic Church, and was given five weeks salary after she was listed online as a member of the Poly Group. Her details had been listed on the site as a 'poly-friendly counselor' between 2011 and 2012 following a request from one of the group members, which was pointed out to her during a meeting in August 2013 with two managers of Centacare. She was confronted by her colleagues with a printed out list of the members, and was questioned whether her involvement was for professional or personal reasons. Ms Bunning claimed that she had been discriminated against as because of her sex, and originally made several submissions to the Australian Human Rights Commission, who dismissed her allegations as 'misconceived'. Justice Vasta concluded that her 'behaviour' differed from 'sexual orientation' Ms Bunning worked for Centacare 2007 and worked for the company until August 2013. After her complaint to the AHRC was denied, she then took her case to the Federal Circuit Court, where Judge Salvator Vasta handed down his judgement on February 11, and dismissed the appeal on the basis that it had no 'reasonable prospect of success'. Ms Bunning told the court that she had been dismissed because 'of the characteristics that appertain generally to persons who are polyamorous', after she was accused of seven counts of gross misconduct. Justice Vasta concluded that her 'behaviour' differed from 'sexual orientation', and stated that being polyamorous was rather a 'manifestation' of her orientation. 'Sexual orientation is how one is, rather than how one manifests that state of being. The manifestation of that state of being can take many forms,' Justice Vasta said. 'If the contention of the applicant were correct, many people whose sexual activity might label them as sado-masochists, coprophiliacs or urophiliacs could claim that such is more than mere behaviour; it is in fact their very sexual orientation,' Justice Vasta said. The Federal Circuit Court judgement showed that Ms Bunning had been accused of gross misconduct. Figures for the US indicate that almost half a million people identify as polyamorous. Justice Vasta said that the result would be of 'absurdity' if the court accepted polyamory as sexual orientation, and could lead people to campaign for the protection of paedophilia and necrophilia under the Sex Discrimination Act of 1984. He ruled that despite finding his ruling 'unpalatable', Ms Bunning should be allowed to 'ventilate her grievance', 'no matter what the merits or the probability of success' on her claim. There are currently no figures on the number of people in Australia who consider themselves polyamorous, reported The Sydney Morning Herald. However, figures for the US indicate that almost half a million people identify as polyamorous, a behaviour which has been defined as 'ethical non-monogamy',. The Brisbane Poly People and Centacare have been contacted for comment. | 9 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

ADVERTISEMENT "Oh, I dream of that. You know what you do to Biden?" Trump asked the crowd during a Thursday night rally in Ohio.
He then mimed blowing on an imaginary Biden, before saying: "He'd fall right over."
Trump has fought back against Biden during rallies over each of the last few days in response to Biden's criticism of Trump's sexually lewd comments.
"The press always asks me: Don't I wish I were debating him? No, I wish we were in high school — I could take him behind the gym. That's what I wish," Biden said
Trump argued that the press would eviscerate him if he said something along those lines, but because Biden said it, "everyone thought it was a wonderful statement." ||||| Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton greets early voters at the Leonard J.

SPRINGFIELD, Ohio (AP) — Aiming to deliver a knockout blow to Donald Trump's staggering presidential campaign, Hillary Clinton turned to popular first lady Michelle Obama to rally voters in North Carolina.
Trump denounced both Hillary and Bill Clinton as creatures of a corrupt political system, who would use another pass at the Oval Office to enrich themselves at the expense of American families. He faces a sizable fundraising deficit that could cripple his last-ditch electoral efforts.
Mrs. Obama, one of Clinton's most effective surrogates, passionately touted Clinton's experience and denounced Trump as too divisive and thin-skinned for the White House.
"We want someone who is a unifying force in this country, someone who sees our differences not as a threat but as a blessing," Mrs. Obama said as she addressed an enthusiastic, 11,000-person crowd in Winston-Salem, one of Clinton's biggest gatherings of her campaign. Trump often points out that his crowds are generally larger than his rival's.
Mrs. Obama also accused Trump's campaign of trying to depress voter turnout and panned his provocative assertion that the results of the Nov. 8 contest may be rigged.
"Just for the record, in this country, the United States of America, the voters decide elections," the first lady said. "They've always decided."
With a lead in polling for weeks, Clinton's campaign is concerned that her advantage could prompt some of her backers to stay home on Election Day or cast protest votes for a third-party candidate. Nearly all of her recent events have been in states where early voting is already underway, aimed at using the rallies to prompt supporters to bank their votes now.
Trump seized on newly public emails in which longtime Bill Clinton aide Doug Band describes overlapping relationships of the Clintons' global philanthropy and the family's private enrichment. The emails were among thousands stolen from the private account of a top Clinton aide, part of a hacking the Democratic campaign has blamed on the Russians.
"Mr. Band called the arrangement 'unorthodox.' The rest of us call it outright corrupt," Trump declared during a rally in Springfield, Ohio. "If the Clintons were willing to play this fast and loose with their enterprise when they weren't in the White House, just imagine what they'll do in the Oval Office."
Clinton entered the final stretch of the race with a resounding cash advantage over Trump: As of last week, her campaign and Democratic partners had $153 million in the bank, more than double what Trump's side had available.
New campaign finance reports also show Trump seems to have cut off his personal contributions. While he had routinely given about $2 million a month, as of Wednesday, he'd covered $33,000 in October campaign costs, giving nothing more — and putting him $44 million short of the $100 million overall he has repeatedly vowed to give.
Meanwhile, Trump running mate Mike Pence's plane skidded off a rainy runway at New York's LaGuardia Airport Thursday night, forcing a partial shutdown of one of the nation's busiest airports. No one was injured and the incident was under investigation.

"I'm just thinking to myself right now: We should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump," he said during a rally in downtown Toledo, Ohio.
The crowd of several thousand at the Sea Gate Convention Center cheered their approval.
Trump's brainstorm came as he ran through the differences in the policy agendas that he and Hillary Clinton are proposing for the first 100 days of their administrations. With such opposite approaches for the country, he reasoned, he should be the favorite.

Ninni Laaksonen, a former Miss Finland in the Miss Universe competition that Trump once owned, alleged in an interview with the Finnish newspaper Ilta-Sanomat that Trump groped her before an appearance on The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006.
“Before the show we were photographed outside the building,” Laaksonen said, according to a translation provided by The Telegraph. “Trump stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt.
“I don’t think anybody saw it but I flinched and thought: ‘What is happening?’”
Laaksonen said that she had been told at other events that year that Trump found her attractive because she reminded him of his wife, Melania, whom he had married the year before.
“Somebody told me there that Trump liked me because I looked like Melania when she was younger,” Laaksonen said. “It left me disgusted.”

The Republican presidential nominee also came as he mocked Clinton as "low energy"
Toledo, Ohio (CNN) Donald Trump, trailing his opponent in key battleground states polls less than two weeks from Election Day, said Thursday he'd like to "cancel the election" and be declared the winner.
"Just thinking to myself right now, we should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump," the Republican presidential nominee said during a rally here on Thursday.
"Her policies are so bad. Boy, do we have a big difference," he added of his Democratic rival Hillary Clinton.
The apparently lighthearted comment falls against the backdrop of Trump's repeated and serious questioning of the legitimacy of the presidential election in recent weeks as he has tumbled in the polls.
Trump has called the election "rigged," argued that the media and establishment politicians are conspiring to sink his campaign and warned supporters that the presidency could be stolen from them due to voter fraud -- instances of which are extremely rare.
Read More ||||| Those battleground state polls that paint such a grim picture of Donald Trump's prospects against Hillary Clinton? Most Republican insiders don't believe they're accurately capturing Trump’s true level of support.
That’s according to the POLITICO Caucus — a panel of activists, strategists and operatives in 11 key battleground states. More than seven-in-10 GOP insiders, 71 percent, say the polls understate Trump’s support because voters don’t want to admit to pollsters that they are backing the controversial Republican nominee.
Story Continued Below
With Trump falling behind in the majority of swing states, an overwhelming polling error may represent his best hope to win next month — and even that may not be enough. At the same time GOP insiders say there are “shy Trump” voters out there who aren't showing up in the polls, a 59-percent majority still say Clinton would win their state if the election were held today.
“I'm not sure how big a factor it is, but there is definitely a ‘Bradley effect’ going on out there,” said a Virginia Republican, referring to the African-American mayor of Los Angeles who led in polls but lost unexpectedly in the 1982 California gubernatorial race. “I personally know many Republicans that won't admit that they are voting for Trump. I don't like admitting it myself. It won't matter if Hillary is up more than 5 points, but we might be in for a surprise if Hillary's lead is less than 5 points on Election Day.”
A Michigan Republican — who, like all insiders, completed the survey anonymously —added that Trump voters are reticent to admit it publicly: “Anecdotally, that's clearly the case in barber-shop conversations.”
A number of Republicans said that while they believe the polls are underestimating Trump, his deficit is too large for it to matter.
“He'll outperform the polls but still won't win,” a Pennsylvania Republican said.
“This form of survey bias is a common but marginal factor in many polls,” an Ohio Republican added.
For other Republicans, the “shy Trump” effect that might be deflating Trump’s support is less an issue than other sources of bias in the polls.
“I also believe that by polling likely voters rather than registered voters, polls are missing a lot of where Trump's support lies,” an Iowa Republican said.
The phenomenon known as social desirability bias “may be part of it,” a Nevada Republican said. “I also think that the pollsters have not accounted for the uniqueness of this election and are not necessarily asking the right questions of the correct samples. Finally, many of the polls are deliberately slanted to suit the media's political agenda. Taken all together, it’s almost impossible to know who is leading at this point.”
Some cited the energy of Trump supporters to suggest his backers are unforthcoming with pollsters.
“I see a lot of Trump signs on people's lawns, plus a lot of anti-Clinton signs,” said a New Hampshire Republican.
But for a minority of Republicans, 29 percent, those hoping for a secret Trump vote to emerge on Election Day will be disappointed.
“We did not see this in the primaries. There is no basis [for it],” a Michigan Republican said. “I think there is just as much pressure on Republicans to say you're going to vote for him when you have no intention [to do so].”
“Does anyone really care whether or not a survey-taker disapproves of their choice?” a North Carolina Republican asked. “Besides, Trump doesn’t always fare worse in live-caller polls. The IBD/TIPP poll, which has been among the handful of outlier polls more positive to Trump, is after all a live-caller poll. The truth is that Trump's support is not substantially different in live-caller polls versus IVR and internet panels. Both types of polls have outliers, but the difference is not a significant one.”
Added a Colorado Republican: “In 2012 people said the polls were wrong because voters didn't want to sound like racists for not voting for President Obama. Polls weren't wrong. People on the losing side of the polls always invent a reason for it.”
Among Democrats, nearly three-quarters, 74 percent, say the hidden Trump vote doesn’t exist, while 26 percent say it does.
A Florida Democrat called it a “ludicrous claim by someone who is losing. As someone who has been on unsuccessful campaigns I know what it's like to throw out every excuse in the book to keep supporters engaged.”
But some Democrats, drawing from experiences in their states, are concerned that these voters do exist — and they could be more of a factor in a closer race.
“Former [Philadelphia] Mayor Frank Rizzo always outperformed his polling numbers because voters would not admit their true intentions,” a Pennsylvania Democrat said. “There is no doubt there is a sense of embarrassment and isolation for the Trump voter who is educated and lives in Philadelphia or its suburbs. And I would think the phenomena holds true in similar markets. I think this also holds true with African-American voters. There is a hidden vote for him above what the polling shows. But a hidden vote in either scenario is a few points in that subset, not enough to get him to the promised land.”
“That is what we call in Virginia the ‘Wilder factor,’” a Democrat there added. “Voters did not want to admit that they were not going to vote for the first African American for Governor in 1989, thus making the race close. I think there is some of that, but not in record numbers.”
Other Democrats insisted that the polls are under-representing Clinton supporters, not Trump voters.
“I think the polls are just as likely to underestimate Hispanic support and enthusiasm as they are to underestimate angry white guys,” a Florida Democrat said.
And an Iowa Democrat suggested: “I think polls underestimate Clinton's strength because of the married women who tell their husbands they are for Trump to keep the peace.”
GOP insiders: Trump choking on Obamacare opportunity
The Obama administration’s announcement this week that premiums would rise next year for individual health-insurance plans available on the exchanges vaulted the 2010 health-care law back into the electoral debate.
But GOP swing-state insiders say Trump has failed to capitalize on the lingering dissatisfaction with Obamacare, particularly with Republicans and the persuadable swing voters Trump needs to make the race more competitive.
Only 28 percent said Trump is doing a good job attacking Clinton on the Obamacare premium increases, while 72 percent said he isn’t doing a good job.
Many of those dissatisfied with Trump’s response cited his Wednesday-morning event in Washington: a ribbon-cutting at the new Trump hotel on Pennsylvania Avenue.
“Donald Trump and Republicans were just handed a lifeline with the Obamacare premium increases,” a Colorado Republican said. “Instead of using it to help his own campaign and down-ticket Republicans, Trump has decided to focus his time talking about Trump Hotel.”
“When you are spending time opening a hotel you are wasting a golden opportunity to strike fear in the hearts of Democrats everywhere,” a Florida Republican added.
Other Republicans complained about Trump’s lack of discipline overall, which they say undermines his message.
“If the GOP had a candidate who could effectively prosecute the case instead of getting distracted by sideshows, then this could be a huge deal in this election,” an Ohio Republican said.
Some Republicans said that while the premium increases could raise an argument for most GOP candidates, Trump has struggled to make cogent critiques on more complex issues during the campaign.
“Like everything else, he doesn't take the time to understand what is really happening and shows no real insight into the problem nor does he propose any rational solutions,” a New Hampshire Republican said.
“He doesn't understand policy, he doesn't care about policy, and he's not a conservative,” a Virginia Republican added. “So you just handed a one-year-old an iPhone. He'll try to push the buttons but not in any manner that makes sense or works.”
Among the minority of GOP insiders who said Trump was doing a good job hitting Clinton on the issue, some couched their praise.
One Ohio Republican said Trump was doing “as well as can be expected for a guy who has voiced support for various forms of single-payer health care.” A New Hampshire Republican wondered whether Trump “can … consistently stay focused on that message or will he wander off into issues that don't matter.”
A Virginia Republican said the issue could still help Trump because “anything that makes people think about [Clinton] helps Trump and hurts [Clinton].”
Meanwhile, Democratic insiders mostly said Clinton was doing a good job dealing with dissatisfaction with Obamacare: 78 percent to 22 percent.
“She has repeatedly said here that there are things that need to be fixed, and people here at least understand she had nothing to do with this version of it,” a New Hampshire Democrat said.

Write a summary. | – Donald Trump got a huge cheer from a crowd in Toledo on Thursday when he made an unusual proposal: "I'm just thinking to myself right now: We should just cancel the election and just give it to Trump," he said, per the Los Angeles Times. "What are we even having it for? Her policies are so bad," said Trump, who had been criticizing Clinton's trade policies. The comment about canceling the election was apparently lighthearted, though it comes after weeks of warning from Trump that the election is "rigged," CNN notes. In other election coverage: The Guardian reports that a former Miss Finland is the 12th women to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct. Ninni Laaksonen ,who competed in the Miss Universe competition when it was owned by Trump, told a Finnish newspaper that she was standing next to him for a photograph before a 2006 appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman when "suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt." The New York Times looks at Thursday's campaign finance filings, and finds that big Republican donors turned away from Trump in the first few weeks of October to concentrate on down-ballot races. Trump himself is among the donors who have cut off the cash: He donated no money and just $31,000 in rent and staff to his campaign in the first three weeks of the month. The Hill reports that at a Thursday night rally in Geneva, Ohio, Trump said he "dreams" of fighting Joe Biden, who would "fall right over." Earlier in the week, Biden said he wished they were still in high school so he could take Trump "behind the gym." Trump also attacked both Hillary and Bill Clinton over emails recently released by WikiLeaks that detail how their personal business interests overlapped with those of the Clinton Foundation, the AP reports. "If the Clintons were willing to play this fast and loose with their enterprise when they weren't in the White House, just imagine what they'll do in the Oval Office," he said. More than two-thirds of Politico's caucus of insiders of 11 swing states believe Trump is doing a lot better than polls suggest because of voters too shy to tell pollsters the truth. "I personally know many Republicans that won't admit that they are voting for Trump," a Virginia Republican says. "I don't like admitting it myself. It won't matter if Hillary is up more than 5 points, but we might be in for a surprise if Hillary's lead is less than 5 points on Election Day." | 6 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

The state (like its southwestern neighbors) has had close linguistic and cultural ties with Mexico. The state outside the Gadsden Purchase of 1853 was part of the New Mexico Territory until 1863, when the western half was made into the Arizona Territory. The area of the former Gadsden Purchase contained a majority of Spanish-speakers until the 1940s, although the Tucson area had a higher ratio of anglophones (including Mexican Americans who were fluent in English); the continuous arrival of Mexican settlers increases the number of Spanish-speakers.

Heinzpeter Moecke warns Schumacher may plunge into natural coma. Claims waking F1 legend could leave him in 'permanent vegetative state' Schumacher has been at University Hospital in Grenoble since December. Doctors believe the toughest phase of his recovery is still to come.
Article: | By. Allan Hall. Waking Michael Schumacher from his artificially-induced coma could plunge him into a natural one, a top German professor has warned. The seven-times Formula 1 champion is currently being kept under anaesthetic at the University Hospital in France. But Professor Heinzpeter Moecke says waking him may leave him in a 'permanent vegetative state'. Devoted: Michael Schumacher has been at University Hospital in Grenoble since December. Above, Schumacher is pictured with his wife Corinna in Italy. Schumacher, the seven-times Formula 1 champion, is being kept under constant scrutiny to detect any movement at all. 'There is unfortunately the risk that in sneaking out of a deep artificial sleep the patient is then in a waking coma,' said Professor Moecke, director of the Institute for Emergency Medicine at the Asklepios Clinic in Hamburg. 'This would mean a permanent vegetative state where Schumacher would effectively be paralysed.' However, he said that even if the F1 legend does not plunge into another coma, doctors may be forced to send him into a 'light sleep'. 'Waking up from an artificial sleep can leave the patient initially confused, not sure of who he is or where he is,' he said. Treatment: Schumacher is currently being kept under anaesthetic at the University Hospital (above) in France. 'If he is so agitated and attempted to remove tubes from his body, the doctors could induce him into another light sleep.' Schumacher, 45, has been at the hospital in Grenoble since he fell and hit his head on a rock while skiing in the French resort of Meribel on December 29. However, doctors believe that the toughest phase in his recovery is yet to come. They have warned his wife Corinna, and children Gina Marie, 16, and son Mick, 14, that it could take weeks for all of the sleeping drugs to be out of his body. During this time, Schumacher will be under constant scrutiny to detect any movement at all. And even if he does come around, he may require intensive physical and speech therapy over a series of months, if not, years. | 7 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

– Astronomers have detected a rare radio signal that originated about 3 billion years ago in a galaxy far, far away. And as one expert puts it, the source is "kind of perplexing." Fast radio bursts, millisecond-long pulses of radio emission from beyond our galaxy, were first discovered a decade ago. Since then, scientists have detected only 30 of them, generally believed to be caused by colliding black holes or other cataclysmic events, per Popular Science. FRB 121102, however, is a curious anomaly. Traced to a dwarf galaxy some 3 billion light years away, FRB 121102 was detected in 2012 and again in 2015, making it the only FRB known to repeat. And now scientists say it's emitting bursts again. Using a radio telescope in West Virginia on Saturday, UC Berkeley researchers detected 15 new pulses from FRB 121102 at a much higher frequency than ever before. "As the source is going into another active state [that] means that the origin models associated with some sort of cataclysmic events are less likely to be the case of FRB 121102," researcher Vishal Gajjar tells CNET. Could the bursts have come from aliens and their spacecraft? That's a "less popular theory," as CBC News puts it, with Popular Science going into greater detail on "possible explanations for the repeating burst ... most of them are definitely not aliens." Here's one: that the bursts came from an energetic neutron star. A statement on the find gives some perspective: "Regardless of FRB 121102’s ultimate source, when the recently detected pulses left their host galaxy ... life on Earth consisted only of single-celled organisms."

Now playing: Watch this: Repeating radio signals coming from space
Gemini Observatory/AURA/NSF/NRC
The unexplained signals from the other side of the universe known as fast radio bursts are a rarely observed phenomenon and only one of them has been picked up more than once. Now scientists engaged in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence say that lone repeating fast radio burst (FRB) is being heard twittering away.
FRBs are bright, millisecond-long pulses of radio signals from beyond the Milky Way that were first identified only a decade ago. Suggested explanations include everything from neutron star outbursts to alien civilizations using some form of directed energy to propel a spacecraft.
One burst first observed in 2012, named FRB 121102, was later found to repeat in 2015. On Saturday, UC Berkeley postdoctoral researcher Dr. Vishal Gajjar used the Breakthrough Listen backend instrument at the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia to target FRB 121102 once again. After observing for five hours and across the entire 4 to 8 GHz frequency band, Gajjar and the Listen team analyzed the 400 terabytes of data gathered and found 15 new pulses from FRB 121102.
"The possible implications are two folds," Gajjar told me via email Tuesday. "This detection at such a high frequency helps us scrutinize many (of FRB 121102's) origin models. The frequency structure we see across our total band of 4 to 8 GHz also allows us to understand the intervening medium between us and the source."
The location of FRB 121102 has already been previously traced to a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light years away, but what exactly might be sending out such strong signals from there remains a mystery. Gajjar says that the repeating nature and current state of heightened activity for FRB 121102 does seem to rule out some of the most destructive explanations, such as colliding black holes.
"As the source is going into another active state means that the origin models associated with some sort of cataclysmic events are less likely to be the case of FRB 121102," he said. "It should be noted that they can still be valid for other FRBs."
Whatever or whoever sent out the bright radio bursts, they left their source a very long time ago when the only life here on Earth was single-celled. Perhaps some ancient intelligent species was clued in to the emergence of life on our planet and knew that a signal sent would reach us just as we were becoming technologically sophisticated for the first time?
Perhaps, but given the current lack of evidence of such extra-terrestrial life, a natural phenomenon like a pulsar seems a more likely explanation.
The Breakthrough Listen team urged other astronomers to make follow-up observations of FRB 121102 during its current state of heightened activity in an Astronomer's Telegram post that first reported the new results on Monday. The researchers say the new bursts will be described in more detail in an upcoming paper for a scientific journal.

Technically Literate: Original works of short fiction with unique perspectives on tech, exclusively on CNET.
Crowd Control: A crowdsourced science fiction novel written by CNET readers. ||||| Long ago, 15 bright radio pulses emerged from a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light years away from Earth. Last Saturday, a telescope in a remote area of West Virginia picked up those signals from a distant corner of the universe, and yesterday, a group of astronomers and astrophysicists shared preliminary results on their observations.
This is a newly active period from an unknown source that astronomers labelled FRB 121102. It’s a source of fast radio bursts (FRBs). We still don’t know much about FRBs. They were only first detected in 2001, and the first time we saw one—this one, in fact—repeat was in 2015. FRBs are exactly what they sound like: super fast, really powerful burst of radio signals. But we have no idea what causes them.
"The repeating FRB source is an anomaly in the population right now; it's the only one of its kind," says Emily Petroff, a post-doctoral researcher at the Netherlands Institute for Radio Astronomy. Petroff was not involved in the current observations, but was part of the project that put together the definitive catalogue of Fast Radio Bursts last year.
"We're trying hard to find more (either by checking to see if other FRBs repeat, or trying to find more FRBs and monitor them)," Petroff wrote in an email. "Keep in mind that the population is still really small. Only 30 FRB sources have been found, from 29 of those we've only seen one burst, from one of them we've seen over 200!"
To have 15 bursts occur from the same source in a short period of time is exciting because it hasn’t been seen before, and these particular bursts are also coming in at a much higher frequency than normal, peaking at about seven gigahertz.
“Bursts from this source have never been seen at this high a frequency,” Andrew Siemion, astropysicist and director of the Breakthrough Listen program said in a statement.
A press release put out by the Breakthrough Listen organization, which funded and organized the project says; “Possible explanations for FRBs range from outbursts from rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields, to more speculative ideas that they are directed energy sources used by extraterrestrial civilizations to power spacecraft.”
Wait...aliens? Really? Not so fast.
Bringing aliens into the conversation before eliminating every other possibility might seem surprising, but not if you consider the source of this new information. The Breakthrough Listen Initiative is a $100 million project with the express directive of looking for signals from extraterrestrial civilizations. So upon finding something strange and not immediately explainable, of course they’re going to bring up aliens. It’s their job to hold that up as a possibility until the evidence shows otherwise.
But there are plenty of other avenues of research that provide possible explanations for the repeating burst. Many of these are thrilling and exciting, and most of them are definitely not aliens.
"With any mystery signal from space comes the inevitable question about extraterrestrial life. At the moment there's no evidence that these are encoded messages or anything like that," Petroff says. "And when dealing with a new phenomenon, the simplest explanations—such as emission from an astrophysical source (and not a spaceship)—are usually the best place to start." ||||| Breakthrough Listen, an initiative to find signs of intelligent life in the universe, has detected 15 brief but powerful radio pulses emanating from a mysterious and repeating source – FRB 121102 – far across the universe.
Fast radio bursts are brief, bright pulses of radio emission from distant but largely unknown sources, and FRB 121102 is the only one known to repeat: more than 150 high-energy bursts have been observed coming from the object, which was identified last year as a dwarf galaxy about 3 billion light years from Earth.
Possible explanations for the repeating bursts range from outbursts from rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields – so-called magnetars – to a more speculative idea: They are directed energy sources, powerful laser bursts used by extraterrestrial civilizations to power spacecraft, akin to Breakthrough Starshot’s plan to use powerful laser pulses to propel nano-spacecraft to our solar system’s nearest star, Proxima Centauri.
“Bursts from this source have never been seen at this high a frequency,” said Andrew Siemion, director of the Berkeley SETI Research Center and of the Breakthrough Listen program.
As astronomers around the globe try to understand the mechanism generating fast radio bursts, they have repeatedly turned their radio telescopes on FRB 121102. Siemion and his team alerted the astronomical community to the high-frequency activity via an Astronomer’s Telegram on Monday evening, Aug. 28.
“As well as confirming that the source is in a newly active state, the high resolution of the data obtained by the Listen instrument will allow measurement of the properties of these mysterious bursts at a higher precision than ever possible before,” said Breakthrough Listen postdoctoral researcher Vishal Gajjar, who discovered the increased activity.
First detected with the Parkes Telescope in Australia, fast radio bursts have now been seen by several radio telescopes around the world. FRB 121102 was discovered on Nov. 2, 2012, (hence its name) and in 2015 it was the first fast radio burst seen to repeat, ruling out theories of bursts’ origins that involved the catastrophic destruction of the progenitor, at least in this instance.
Regardless of FRB 121102’s ultimate source, when the recently detected pulses left their host galaxy, our solar system was less than 2 billion years old, noted Steve Croft, a Breakthrough Listen astronomer at UC Berkeley. Life on Earth consisted only of single-celled organisms; it would be another billion years before even the simplest multi-cellular life began to evolve.
As part of Breakthrough Listen’s program to observe nearby stars and galaxies for signatures of extraterrestrial technology, the project science team at UC Berkeley added FRB 121102 to its list of targets. In the early hours of Saturday, Aug. 26, Gajjar observed that area of the sky using the Breakthrough Listen backend instrument at the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia.
The instrument accumulated 400 terabytes (a million million bytes) of data over a five-hour period, observing across the entire 4 to 8 GHz frequency band. This large dataset was searched for signatures of short pulses from the source over a broad range of frequencies, with a characteristic dispersion, or delay as a function of frequency, caused by the presence of gas in space between Earth and the source. The distinctive shape that the dispersion imposes on the initial pulse is an indicator of the amount of material between us and the source, and hence an indicator of the distance to the host galaxy.
Analysis by Gajjar and the Breakthrough Listen team revealed 15 new pulses from FRB 121102. The observations show for the first time that fast radio bursts emit at higher frequencies than previously observed, with the brightest emission occurring at around 7 GHz.
“The extraordinary capabilities of the backend receiver, which is able to record several gigahertz of bandwidth at a time, split into billions of individual channels, enable a new view of the frequency spectrum of FRBs, and should shed additional light on the processes giving rise to FRB emission.” Gajjar said.
“Whether or not fast radio bursts turn out to be signatures of extraterrestrial technology, Breakthrough Listen is helping to push the frontiers of a new and rapidly growing area of our understanding of the universe around us,” Siemion said. ||||| FRB 121102: Detection at 4 - 8 GHz band with Breakthrough Listen backend at Green Bank

On Saturday, August 26 at 13:51:44 UTC we initiated observations of the well-known repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102 [Spitler et al., Nature, 531, 7593 202-205, 2016] using the Breakthrough Listen Digital Backend with the C-band receiver at the Green Bank Telescope. We recorded baseband voltage data across 5.4375 GHz of bandwidth, completely covering the C-band receiver's nominal 4-8 GHz band [MacMahon et al. arXiv:1707.06024v2]. Observations were conducted over ten 30-minute scans, as detailed in Table 1. Immediately after observations, the baseband data were reduced to form high time resolution (300 us integration) Stokes-I products using a GPU-accelerated spectroscopy suite. These reduced products were searched for dispersed pulses consistent with the known dispersion measure of FRB 121102 (557 pc cm^-3); baseband voltage data were preserved. We detected 15 bursts above our detection threshold of 10 sigma in the first two 30-minute scans, denoted 11A-L and 12A-B in Table 2. In Table 2, we include the detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of each burst, along with a very rough estimate of pulse energy density assuming a 12 Jy system equivalent flux density, 300 us pulse width, and uniform 3800 MHz bandwidth. We note the following phenomenological properties of the detected bursts: 1. Bursts show marked changes in spectral extent, with characteristic spectral structure in the 100 MHz - 1 GHz range. 2. Several bursts appear to peak in brightness at frequencies above 6 GHz.

These are the highest frequency and widest bandwidth detections of bursts from FRB 121102 obtained to-date. Additional fully calibrated full-Stokes analysis employing coherent dedispersion on raw voltage data is ongoing. These observations may indicate FRB 121102 is currently in a heightened activity state [Law et al. arXiv:1705.07553], and follow-on observations are encouraged, particularly at higher radio frequencies.
Plots are available here ||||| While looking for signs of intelligent life in the universe, astronomers have detected 15 fast radio bursts from a distant galaxy.
These poorly understood phenomena are short pulses of radio emission, just milliseconds long, believed to be coming from rapidly spinning neutron stars or black holes in distant galaxies. A less popular theory is that they're signs of extremely powerful spacecraft from alien civilizations.
This particular fast radio burst (FRB), called FRB 121102, is of particular interest as it is the only known one to be repeating, something that astronomers can't yet explain.
Earlier this month, astronomers using the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia (a collection of radio telescopes) not only found 15 more bursts, but found them at a higher radio frequency than was ever observed before, the astronomers said in their findings published in The Astronomer's Telegram.
"It's not surprising that we've found 15 more from this source; we've been detecting many of them over the past few years," Paul Scholz, an astronomer who studies FRBs with the Dominion Radio Astrophysical Observatory in Penticton, B.C., told CBC News. "The one thing that's unique about these [new ones] is that they are at a higher frequency than we've ever seen before."
This illustration shows a sequence of FRBs captured by the Green Bank Telescope. (Breakthrough Initiatives)
Scholz, who was not involved with the new discovery, was with McGill University when he and a team of astronomers discovered FRB 121102 to be a repeater. In 2016, a McGill team was able to locate the source of the strange FRB.
At the time the signals left its host galaxy, Earth would have been two billion years old, less than half its current age. The only living things on the planet would have been single-celled organisms.
Solving the mystery
As though the object wasn't strange enough, it also behaves like no other FRB. Typically, objects that emit similar signals, such as pulsars, do so in a smooth fashion across many frequencies. But that's not the case with FRB 121102.
"So it's kind of perplexing," Scholz said.

Scholz said that there could be reasons such as the signal being distorted between its source galaxy and Earth.
In the coming months, a new telescope in B.C. called the Canadian Hydrogen Intensity Mapping Experiment (CHIME) is expected to begin its research into FRBs, with the possibility of discovering several a day, something that Scholz is looking forward to seeing.
"It's a mystery that needs to be solved," Scholz said. ||||| | 8 | Flan2021 | multi_news:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

Plastic wrap, cling film, shrink wrap, Saran wrap, cling wrap, food wrap, or pliofilm is a thin plastic film typically used for sealing food items in containers to keep them fresh over a longer period of time. Plastic wrap, typically sold on rolls in boxes with a cutting edge, clings to many smooth surfaces and can thus remain tight over the opening of a container without adhesive. Common plastic wrap is roughly 0.0005 inches (12.7 μm) thick. The trend has been to produce thinner plastic wrap, particularly for household use (where very little stretch is needed), so now the majority of brands on shelves around the world are 8, 9 or 10 μm thick.

North Wales Police covers the whole of what most would regard as north Wales, including the counties of Anglesey, Gwynedd, Conwy, Denbighshire, Flintshire and Wrexham. It covers a population of 675,000.
The area is largely rural and includes the Snowdonia National Park, the home of Wales' highest mountain, Snowdon.
The major A55 road links the area to cities like Manchester, Liverpool and Birmingham and the port of Holyhead on Anglesey for ferries to Ireland.
The current chief constable is Mark Polin, who has served the area since 2009.
There are 1,454 officers, 888 staff and 232 community support officers.
The total force budget for 2016/17 is £141m. Currently the force is projecting to save £4.54m between 2017/18 and 2019/20.
The police precept for Band D properties is £240.12.
It is the highest in Wales, compared to £220.06 in Gwent, £207.85 in South Wales and £200.07 in Dyfed-Powys Police force areas.
There were 36,800 recorded crimes in north Wales during the year up to September 2015.
That was a slight increase of 1% the previous year, the lowest increase in recorded crime in Wales for that period.
Incidents of violence against the person rose by 17%, although all but one police forces saw increases in that category.
Sexual offences increased by 11% and criminal damage and arson rose by 3% while robbery fell by 12% and burglary dropped by 10%.
A recent report by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) found the force performing well in preventing crime and anti-social behaviour, and tackling serious and organised crime. However other aspects of the force's effectiveness needed to improve, it said.
Its approach to investigating crime has some shortcomings, HMIC said, with the policy for allocating crime to investigators not clearly understood by the workforce.
Examples of frontline officers undertaking investigations that were beyond their level of training and experience, including high-risk domestic abuse cases, were found.

On 17 April 1861, five days after the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter, the legislature voted to secede from the United States and joined the Confederacy. Official action came in May, after the Confederacy promised to move its national capital to Richmond. The city was at the end of a long supply line, which made it somewhat difficult to defend, although supplies continued to reach the city by canal and wagon for years, since it was protected by the Army of Northern Virginia and arguably the Confederacy's best troops and commanders. It became the main target of Union armies, especially in the campaigns of 1862 and 1864-5.

Donna Ashlock, a 14-year-old girl from California, was very sick. She had a bad heart. "Donna needs a new heart," her doctor said, "she must have a new heart, or she will die soon." Felipe Carza, 15, was worried about Donna. Felipe was Donna's friend. He liked Donna very much. He liked her freckles, and he liked her smile. Felipe didn't want Donna to die. Felipe talked to his mother about Donna. "I am going to die," Felipe told his mother, "and I am going to give my heat to Donna." Felipe's mother didn't pay much attention to Felipe. "Felipe is just kidding," she thought, "Felipe is not going to die. He's strong and healthy." But Felipe was not healthy. He had terrible headaches sometimes. "my head hurts," he often told his friends. Felipe never told his parents about his headaches. One morning Felipe woke up with a sharp pain in his head. He was dizzy , and he couldn't breathe. His parents rushed Felipe to the hospital. Doctors at the hospital had terrible news for them. "Felipe' s brain is dead," the doctors said, "we can't save him." The parents were very sad. But they remembered Felipe's words. "Felipe wanted to give his heart to Donna," they told the doctors. The doctors did several tests. Then they told the parents, "we can give Felipe's heart to Donna." The doctors took out Felipe's heart and rushed the heart to Donna. Other doctors took out Donna's heart and put Felipe's heart in her chest. In a short time the heart began to beat. The operation was a success. Felipe's heart was beating in Donna's chest, but Donna didn't know it. Her parents and doctors didn't tell her. They waited until she was stronger; then they told her about Felipe. "I feel very sad," Donna said, "but I am thankful to Felipe." Three months later the operation Donna went back to school. She has to have regular checkups, and she has to take medicine every day. But she is living a normal life. Felipe's brother John says, "Every time we see Donna, we think of Felipe. She has Felipe's heart in her. That gives us great peace."

What's an example of a movie review? | Others have already commented on the "decline" of director Tobe Hooper, but what about Brad Dourif? He was perfectly capable of selecting good projects (as he proved by starring in the same year's "Exorcist III"), so why did he agree to appear in this? Sure, he gives a suitably demented performance, and the film is not outright bad; it's just uninvolving, uninteresting and unappealing. That's three "un-"s too many.

Here are some reviews for a movie: 1. This big-budget action thriller excels at dishing out a plot that's a bit like a chess game on speed.
2. If you leave your brain in neutral, you should have a fairly enjoyable ride.
3. Those in the mood for something kinda dumb but lotsa fun look no further.
4. The kind of passable in-flight entertainment you could watch half-asleep.
5. It remains to be seen whether this crude, dumbly entertaining outing will encourage the director to tackle more of the Greek myths.
6. 12 Rounds's familiarity undercuts any kind of suspense it hopes to build, and for an action-packed romp it's incredibly dull.
7. A lunk-headed, brawling action movie with more muscle than brains and the kind of editing that feels like being repeatedly shot in the eyes with a staple gun.
8. One long blur of car stunts and digital clocks counting down to detonation - passable for lazy television viewing, but not worth the price of a ticket.
9. There's a decent little action movie somewhere inside '12 Rounds': a bit more complexity of character, a few more jokes and a hero who doesn't look like a two-by-four with a buzz cut might have gone a long way.
10. While 12 Rounds is well above average for an action movie, it's important not to get too carried away. This is, after all, a picture in which leading lady Ashley Scott is less appealing than her pet pug.
What was the overall consensus about the movie? | Energetic but empty, 12 Rounds' preposterous plot hurtles along at a rapid pace, but can't disguise the derivative script. | 4 | Flan2021 | opinion_abstracts_rotten_tomatoes | zs_opt |

Read this article and answer this question At the beginning of 1664, the Imperial Army was divided into three corps: In the south, 17,000 Hungarian-Croatian troops under the command of Nikola Zrinski. In the center, the main army of Montecuccoli, which was 28,500 men strong, and in the north some 8,500 men under General Jean-Louis Raduit de Souches. There were some 12,500 men in reserve to defend the fortresses. This army of 66,500 men was not united, as the differences of opinion between the commanders were very strong, especially with Zrinski. As a preparation for campaigns planned for 1664, Zrinski set out to destroy the strongly fortified Ottoman bridge bridge) which, since 1566, had linked Darda to Osijek across the Drava and the marshes of Baranya. Destruction of the bridge would cut off the retreat of the Ottoman Army and make any Turkish reinforcement impossible for several months. Re-capturing strong fortresses on his way, Zrinski advanced 240 kilometers on enemy territory and destroyed the bridge on February 1, 1664. He didn't succeed in conquering Nagykanizsa, the main objective. The siege had to be lifted when in June the main army of Köprülü approached. The Turks besieged and conquered Zrinski's stronghold Novi Zrin, which had to be abandoned when Montecuccoli refused to come to its rescue. Zrinski would never forgive this, which would eventually lead to the Magnate conspiracy in Croatia, and "Wesselényi conspiracy" in Hungary).

John the Apostle (Aramaic: ywHnn shlyH' Yohanan Shliha; Hebrew: yvkhnn bn zbdy Yohanan ben Zavdi; Koine Greek: Ioannes; Coptic: or ; Latin: Ioannes; c. AD 6-100) was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus according to the New Testament, which refers to him as Ioannes. Generally listed as the youngest apostle, he was the son of Zebedee and Salome or Joanna.
The author of the Book of Revelation identifies himself as "Ioannes" ("John" in standard English translation) The early 2nd century writer, Justin Martyr, was the first to equate the author of Revelation with John the Apostle. Most biblical scholars now agree that these were not separate individuals and that John the apostle wrote the Book of Revelation. John the Presbyter, an obscure figure in the early church, has also been identified with the seer of the Book of Revelation by such authors as Eusebius in his Church History (Book III, 39) and Jerome. John is considered to have been exiled to Patmos, during the persecutions under Emperor Domitian. Revelation 1:9 says that the author wrote the book on Patmos: "I, John, both your brother and companion in tribulation... was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." Adela Yarbro Collins, a biblical scholar at Yale Divinity School, writes: Early tradition says that John was banished to Patmos by the Roman authorities. This tradition is credible because banishment was a common punishment used during the Imperial period for a number of offenses. Among such offenses were the practices of magic and astrology. Prophecy was viewed by the Romans as belonging to the same category, whether Pagan, Jewish, or Christian. Prophecy with political implications, like that expressed by John in the book of Revelation, would have been perceived as a threat to Roman political power and order. Three of the islands in the Sporades were places where political offenders were banished. (Pliny Natural History 4.69-70; Tacitus Annals 4.30) Some modern higher critical scholars have raised the possibility that John the Apostle, John the Evangelist, and John of Patmos were three separate individuals. These scholars assert that John of Patmos wrote Revelation but neither the Gospel of John nor the Epistles of John. For one, the author of Revelation identifies himself as "John" several times, but the author of the Gospel of John never identifies himself directly. Some Catholic scholars state that "vocabulary, grammar, and style make it doubtful that the book could have been put into its present form by the same person(s) responsible for the fourth gospel." Answer this question using a quote from the following article:

In organic chemistry, an alkene is an unsaturated hydrocarbon that contains at least one carbon--carbon double bond. The words alkene and olefin are often used interchangeably (see nomenclature section below). Acyclic alkenes, with only one double bond and no other functional groups, known as mono-enes, form a homologous series of hydrocarbons with the general formula CH. Alkenes have two hydrogen atoms fewer than the corresponding alkane (with the same number of carbon atoms). The simplest alkene, ethylene (CH), with the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) name ethene, is the organic compound produced on the largest scale industrially. Aromatic compounds are often drawn as cyclic alkenes, but their structure and properties are different and they are not considered to be alkenes.
What's the best answer to this question: can alkenes have more than one double bond?

Latour's work Nous n'avons jamais ete modernes : Essais d'anthropologie symetrique was first published in French in 1991, and then in English in 1993 as We Have Never Been Modern. Latour encouraged the reader of this anthropology of science to re-think and re-evaluate our mental landscape. He evaluated the work of scientists and contemplated the contribution of the scientific method to knowledge and work, blurring the distinction across various fields and disciplines. Latour argued that society has never really been modern and promoted nonmodernism (or amodernism) over postmodernism, modernism, or antimodernism. His stance was that we have never been modern and minor divisions alone separate Westerners now from other collectives. Latour viewed modernism as an era that believed it had annulled the entire past in its wake. He presented the antimodern reaction as defending such entities as spirit, rationality, liberty, society, God, or even the past. Postmoderns, according to Latour, also accepted the modernistic abstractions as if they were real. In contrast, the nonmodern approach reestablished symmetry between science and technology on the one hand and society on the other. Latour also referred to the impossibility of returning to premodernism because it precluded the large scale experimentation which was a benefit of modernism. Latour attempted to prove through case studies the fallacy in the old object/subject and Nature/Society compacts of modernity, which can be traced back to Plato. He refused the concept of "out there" versus "in here". He rendered the object/subject distinction as simply unusable and charted a new approach towards knowledge, work, and circulating reference. Latour considered nonmoderns to be playing on a different field, one vastly different than that of post-moderns. He referred to it as much broader and much less polemical, a creation of an unknown territory, which he playfully referred to as the Middle Kingdom. In 1998, historian of science Margaret C. Jacob argued that Latour's politicized account of the development of modernism in the 17th century is "a fanciful escape from modern Western history".

The Protestant lands at the beginning of the 17th century were concentrated in Northern Europe, with territories in Germany, Scandinavia, England, Scotland, and areas of France, the Low Countries, Switzerland, Kingdom of Hungary and Poland. Heavy fighting, in some cases a continuation of the religious conflicts of the previous centuries, was seen, particularly in the Low Countries and the Electorate of the Palatinate . In Ireland there was a concerted attempt to create "plantations" of Protestant settlers in what was a predominantly Catholic country, and fighting with a religious dimension was serious in the 1640s and 1680s. In France the settlement proposed by the Edict of Nantes was whittled away, to the disadvantage of the Huguenot population, and the edict was revoked in 1685. Protestant Europe was largely divided into Lutheran and Reformed areas, with the Church of England maintaining a separate position. Efforts to unify Lutherans and Calvinists had little success; and the ecumenical ambition to overcome the schism of the Protestant Reformation remained almost entirely theoretical. The Church of England under William Laud made serious approaches to figures in the Orthodox Church, looking for common ground. Within Calvinism an important split occurred with the rise of Arminianism; the Synod of Dort of 1618-19 was a national gathering but with international repercussions, as the teaching of Arminius was firmly rejected at a meeting to which Protestant theologians from outside the Netherlands were invited. The Westminster Assembly of the 1640s was another major council dealing with Reformed theology, and some of its works continue to be important to Protestant denominations.

Review: At the height of the 'Celebrity Big Brother' racism row in 2007 ( involving Shilpa Shetty and the late Jade Goody ), I condemned on an internet forum those 'C.B.B.' fans who praised the show, after years of bashing 'racist' '70's sitcoms such as 'Curry & Chips' & 'Love Thy Neighbour'. I thought they were being hypocritical, and said so. 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum' was then thrown into the argument, with some pointing out it had starred an English actor blacked-up. Well, yes, but Michael Bates had lived in India as a boy, and spoke Urdu fluently. The show's detractors overlook the reality he brought to his performance as bearer 'Rangi Ram'. The noted Indian character actor, Renu Setna, said in a 1995 documentary 'Perry & Croft: The Sitcoms' that he was upset when he heard Bates had landed the role, but added: "No Indian actor could have played that role as well as Bates.". Indeed.
'Mum' was Perry and Croft's companion show to 'Dad's Army'; also set in wartime, the sedate English town of Walmington-On-Sea had been replaced by the hot, steamy jungles of India, in particularly a place called Deolali, where an army concert party puts on shows for the troops, among them Bombadier Solomons ( George Layton, his first sitcom role since 'Doctor In Charge' ), camp Gunner 'Gloria' Beaumont ( Melvyn Hayes ), diminutive Gunner 'Lofty' Sugden, 'Lah de-dah' Gunner Graham ( John Clegg ), and Gunner Parkins ( the late Christopher Mitchell ). Presiding over this gang of misfits was the bellicose Sergeant-Major Williams ( the brilliant Windsor Davies ), who regarded them all as 'poofs'. His frustration at not being able to lead his men up the jungle to engage the enemy in combat made him bitter and bullying ( though he was nice to Parkins, whom he thought was his illegitimate son! ). Then there was ever-so English Colonel Reynolds ( Donald Hewlett ) and dimwitted Captain Ashwood ( Michael Knowles ). Rangi was like a wise old sage, beginning each show by talking to the camera and closing them by quoting obscure Hindu proverbs. He loved being bearer so much he came to regard himself as practically British. His friends were the tea-making Char Wallah ( the late Dino Shafeek, who went on to 'Mind Your Language' ) and the rope pulling Punka Wallah ( Babar Bhatti ). So real Indians featured in the show - another point its detractors ignore. Shafeek also provided what was described on the credits as 'vocal interruptions' ( similar to the '40's songs used as incidental music on 'Dad's Army' ). Each edition closed with him warbling 'Land Of Hope & Glory' only to be silenced by a 'Shut Up!' from Williams. The excellent opening theme was penned by Jimmy Perry and Derek Taverner.
Though never quite equalling 'Dad's Army' in the public's affections, 'Mum' nevertheless was popular enough to run for a total of eight seasons. In 1975, Davies and Estelle topped the charts with a cover version of that old chestnut 'Whispering Grass'. They then recorded an entire album of old chestnuts, entitled ( what else? ) 'Sing Lofty!'.
The show hit crisis point three years later when Bates died of cancer. Rather than recast the role of 'Rangi', the writers just let him be quietly forgotten. When George Layton left, the character of 'Gloria' took his place as 'Bombadier', providing another source of comedy.
The last edition in 1981 saw the soldiers leave India by boat for Blighty, the Char Wallah watching them go with great sadness ( as did viewers ).
Repeats have been few and far between ( mainly on U.K. Gold ) all because of its so-called 'dodgy' reputation. This is strange. For one thing, the show was not specifically about racism. If a white man blacked-up is so wrong, why does David Lean's 1984 film 'A Passage to India' still get shown on television? ( it featured Alec Guinness as an Indian, and won two Oscars! ). It was derived from Jimmy Perry's own experiences. Some characters were based on real people ( the Sergeant-Major really did refer to his men as 'poofs' ). I take the view that if you are going to put history on television, get it right. Sanitizing the past, no matter how unsavoury it might seem to modern audiences, is fundamentally dishonest. 'Mum' was both funny and truthful, and viewers saw this. Thank heavens for D.V.D.'s I say. Time to stop this review. As Williams would say: "I'll have no gossiping in this jungle!"
