Read this article and answer this question It is estimated that the Timurid army counted 140,000, mostly cavalry, and also 32 war elephants. Bayezid's army numbered 85,000. Historical sources exaggerated the number of troops; Ahmad ibn Arabshah claimed 800,000 Timurid troops, while a German witness claimed 1,6 million, for instance. The Ottoman force included contingents under his sons, Ghazis, Janissaries, Anatolian Muslim vassals, and various European vassals. Among Serbian vassals participating were Stefan Lazarević and Đurađ Branković, and among Albanian were Koja Zakarija, Demetrius Jonima, Gjon Kastrioti, and probably Tanush Major Dukagjin. Christian vassals that did not participate is Zetan Konstantin Balšić. A quarter of the Ottoman troops were recently conquered Tatars.

Write an article based on this summary:
Thirty five years ago, it was the signing that shocked football - Trevor Francis, Britain's first £1m player.
Article: | Media playback is not supported on this device
How times have changed, and prices soared, since that landmark move, with Angel Di Maria's 2014 switch to Manchester United from Real Madrid costing nearly 60 times as much.
The reported fee of £59.7m is a new record paid by a British club, topping the £50m Chelsea forked out for Fernando Torres in 2011.
It takes total spending by Premier League clubs in a transfer window past £700m for the first time.
Here we look at the rising sums down the years, including the £1,000 striker called Common and the forward who was injured when he signed for £35m and is on the sidelines again now.
Scot 'Darlin' Willie Groves was the first £100 player, transferring from West Brom to Aston Villa in 1893.
While the sums may change, some of the transfer tactics do not, with Villa fined £25 over allegations of tapping up players.
A former Celtic and Hibernian star, Groves also had a key role in helping West Brom win the FA Cup a year before his move, and landed the league title with Villa in 1894.
But despite the transfer fee - which equates to about £11,000 in today's money when inflation is taken into account - he died a pauper.
Groves retired from the game after developing tuberculosis and died in Edinburgh aged 39, 15 years after his landmark transfer.
The mark was soon passed, with Alf Common becoming the first footballer to move for a £1,000 fee.
Common joined Middlesbrough from local rivals Sunderland in 1905, and the forward helped his side stave off relegation to Division Two.
Transfer fees grew steadily throughout the 20th century but advanced significantly in the 1960s and 1970s as sides competed for trophies in Europe.
Denis Law attracted the first six-figure fee from a British club when he returned to England from Italian club Torino, with Manchester United paying £115,000.
He scored on his debut against West Brom in 1962 and racked up 237 goals in total with the Old Trafford outfit, trailing only Sir Bobby Charlton in United's list of all-time leading scorers. Law was just 12 short of Charlton's tally, despite playing 354 games fewer.
The transfer record was broken twice by one man - Allan Clarke went for £150,000 in a 1968 move from Fulham to Leicester, and then £165,000 the following year when transferring to Leeds United.
Another trophy winner, England 1966 World Cup winner Martin Peters, joined Tottenham from London rivals West Ham for £200,000 in 1970.
While the first £1m move in Britain happened in an age before 24-hour news channels and social media, there was a certain razzamatazz around Trevor Francis signing for Nottingham Forest from Birmingham City in 1979.
It was double the amount received by Liverpool when Kevin Keegan was sold to Hamburg two years earlier, but Clough seemed determined to ensure some of the focus was switched away from his star signing.
The mercurial manager turned up at a news conference in a bright red sports jacket and with a squash racket in his hand, as if to suggest his social life was far more important than a bit of football business.
Clough had remarked that he wanted to keep the fee down to £1 below the £1m mark at £999,999 so the fee did not got to the player's head, but it added up to £1.18m once VAT was added.
Whether it was money well spent divided opinion, although Forest lifted the European Cup two years running.
More seven-figure transfers followed later in the year, with Steve Daley leaving Wolves for Manchester City while his former side bought Andy Gray from Villa.
In the 1980s, with a ban on English clubs competing in Europe after the Heysel Stadium disaster, top players such as Mark Hughes and Ian Rush were prepared to move abroad.
But the lifting of the ban, and the advent of the Premier League with increased television revenue, saw a new era of big spenders.
Striker Andy Cole dramatically joined Manchester United from Newcastle in January 1995 in a £7m cash-plus-player deal that saw Keith Gillespie head in the opposite direction.
Magpies boss Kevin Keegan came in for criticism from fans over the departure of a man who had scored 55 goals in 77 league games, and United snatched the league title from Newcastle in 1996.
But there were delirious scenes on Tyneside when Keegan signed Old Trafford target Alan Shearer from Blackburn for £15m.
"This signing is for the people of Newcastle. It just shows you the ambition of Newcastle United. We are the biggest thinking team in Europe now," said Keegan.

Shearer, scored 206 goals in 404 appearances during a 10-year playing stint until he retired in 2006, but the club never won the title.
"I loved being the world's most expensive player," Shearer told BBC Radio 5 live. "It gives you a pressure on you, there's no doubt about that. But it's a pressure I enjoyed.
"If someone is crazy enough to spend that type of money that's their problem. I thought it was an honour someone was prepared to pay that amount of money for me. Looking back £15m is a snip nowadays."
Gareth Gates topped the charts when Manchester United last broke the British transfer record in 2002.
As Gates crooned Anyone Of Us (Stupid Mistake), Sir Alex Ferguson was hoping he had done nothing of the sort, buying England defender Rio Ferdinand for £29.1m from Leeds, having shelled out £28.1m the previous year to Lazio for Argentine captain Juan Sebastian Veron.
Ferdinand clearly had the X Factor - his £18.5m move from West Ham to Leeds in November 2000 had made him the world's costliest defender - and he won six league titles, two League Cups, and a Champions League in his 12-year Manchester stint.
The £30m mark was broken by Chelsea for Andriy Shevchenko as Russian owner Roman Abramovich wielded his financial muscle.
The Blues set another new record in January 2011, spending £50m to recruit Spanish striker Fernando Torres from Liverpool.
It was a move that allowed the Anfield club to bring in new recruits - and they paid out £35m for Newcastle's Andy Carroll and £22.7m for Uruguay striker Luis Suarez.
The deals showed the profits and pitfalls of spending big - Torres has failed to fire so far at Chelsea while Carroll, who was out with a thigh injury when he signed for the Reds, is currently sidelined at West Ham, who bought him for a knockdown £15m at the start of 2013.
But Suarez was last season's Premier League top scorer, albeit he was subsequently handed the third ban of his career for biting an opponent. He is now at Barcelona following a deal worth between £65m and £75m. | 8 | Flan2021 | huggingface:xsum | zs_opt |
Andrew "Rube" Foster (September 17, 1879 - December 9, 1930) was an American baseball player, manager, and executive in the Negro leagues. He was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1981. Foster, considered by historians to have been perhaps the best African-American pitcher of the first decade of the 1900s, also founded and managed the Chicago American Giants, one of the most successful black baseball teams of the pre-integration era. Most notably, he organized the Negro National League, the first long-lasting professional league for African-American ballplayers, which operated from 1920 to 1931.
In 1907, Foster's manager Sol White published his Official Baseball Guide: History of Colored Baseball, with Foster contributing an article on "How to Pitch." However, before the season began, he and several other stars (including, most importantly, the outfielder Pete Hill) left the Philadelphia Giants for the Chicago Leland Giants, with Foster named playing manager. Under his leadership, the Lelands won 110 games (including 48 straight) and lost only ten, and took the Chicago City League pennant. The following season the Lelands tied a national championship series with the Philadelphia Giants, each team winning three games. Foster suffered a broken leg in July 1909, but rushed himself back into the lineup in time for an October exhibition series against the Chicago Cubs. Foster, pitching the second game, squandered a 5-2 lead in the ninth inning, then lost the game on a controversial play when a Cubs runner stole home while Foster was arguing with the umpire. The Lelands lost the series, three games to nothing. The Lelands also lost the unofficial western black championship to the St. Paul Colored Gophers. In 1910, Foster wrested legal control of the team from its founder, Frank Leland. He proceeded to put together the team he later considered his finest. He signed John Henry Lloyd away from the Philadelphia Giants; along with Hill, second baseman Grant Johnson, catcher Bruce Petway, and pitchers Frank Wickware and Pat Dougherty, Lloyd sparked the Lelands to a 123-6 record (with Foster himself contributing a 13-2 record on the mound).
Using a quote from the above article, answer the following question: Did the Leland Giants win any championships beyond the Chicago City pennant? | The following season the Lelands tied a national championship series with the Philadelphia Giants, each team winning three games. | 1 | Flan2021 | quac:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

Vous avez peur de prendre plusieurs livres en trop? Et bien je vous d\u00e9conseille fortement ce restaurant. Pour ceux qui ont une bonne app\u00e9tit et qui ont pas peur de manger comme des cochons et bien cette place est un paradis terrestre! Ce restaurant est une vraie machine \u00e0 remonter le temps avec un d\u00e9cor r\u00e9tro des ann\u00e9es 50, de la musique des ann\u00e9es 50 et des serveurs qui chantent des chansons des ann\u00e9es 50. Le menu est complet avec une bonne s\u00e9lection de hamburger vraiment gras, gros, juteux et un peu saignant au centre de la galette afin de donner un go\u00fbt tendre mais aussi des d\u00e9jeuner qui vont vous donner une crise cardiaque juste \u00e0 voir l'assiette. Les prix sont tr\u00e8s abordables pour la grosseur des assiettes. Pour environ 12-13$ (en dollar US), vous avez une \u00e9norme assiette avec des frittes qui sont probablement pr\u00e9par\u00e9 dans du saindoux et de l'huile la plus grasse possible. Le service est rapide, amicale et en plus, les serveurs/serveuses vont m\u00eame chanter \u00e0 votre table! Le hamburger que j'ai mang\u00e9 \u00e0 deux occasions \u00e9tait tr\u00e8s gros. Sans trop exag\u00e9r\u00e9, je crois que mon hamburger \u00e9tait d'environ 8 pouces de circonf\u00e9rence. La galette est une demi livre mais il est possible de commander un hamburger de deux livres ! Le choix que j'ai pris avait du fromage bleu frit dans de l'huile et du saindoux, de la laitue, tomate et autres l\u00e9gumes. Il avait un choix sp\u00e9cial dans le menu avec des oeufs frit dans du gras. Le sp\u00e9cial au d\u00e9jeuner poss\u00e8de probablement les calories n\u00e9cessaires afin de permettre \u00e0 un \u00eatre humain en bonne sant\u00e9 physique et mentale de survive plus de 48 heures. Vous avez droit \u00e0 une m\u00e9ga tranche de bacon canadien sal\u00e9 et d\u00e9licieux d'une livre cuit sur le grille et vous avez aussi le droit \u00e0 trois \u0153ufs pr\u00e9par\u00e9 selon votre choix sans oublier du pain avec une tonne de beurre chaud \u00e0 volont\u00e9 et probablement l'\u00e9quivalant d'une livre de patates au four. J'ai facilement pris trois livres de plus avec ce d\u00e9jeuner qui porte le surnom de "graveyard".J'ai bien aim\u00e9 mon exp\u00e9rience culinaire am\u00e9ricaine, malgr\u00e9 une forte accumulation de mati\u00e8re grasse dans mon organisme.

Review: John Garfield plays a Marine who is blinded by a grenade while fighting on Guadalcanal and who has to learn to live with his disability. He has all the stereotypical notions about blindness, and is sure he'll be a burden to everyone. The hospital staff and his fellow wounded Marines can't get through to him. Neither can his girl back home played by Eleanor Parker. He's stubborn and blinded by his own fears, self pity, and prejudices. It's a complex role that Garfield carries off memorably in a great performance that keeps one watching in spite of the ever present syrupy melodrama. The best scenes are on Guadalcanal, where he's in a machine gun nest trying to fend off the advancing Japanese soldiers in a hellish looking night time battle, and later a dream sequence in the hospital where he sees himself walking down a train platform with a white cane, dark glasses, and holding out a tin cup, all the while his girlfriend walks backward away from the camera.

Select the correct sentiment of the following review: Well, maybe the PC version of this game was impressive. Maybe. I just finished playing the PS2 version and it's pretty much a complete mess.
There are a couple elements that are okay or promising. I'll mention those first because it will be over quickly. First, the idea of a historical GTA-like game is a great one. The game Gun was a historical GTA-like game and unlike Mafia, Gun was excellent. I'd love to see a game set during Mafia's era done right. Next, the storyline is well written. The story makes sense, it has dramatic arcs, it uses an unusual device (with much of the game being a backstory) and it's interesting. Finally, some of the graphics--especially those used during cutscenes--are impressive. Mafia's designers seemed to focus on getting the graphics right in the places where GTA skimped on that effort, especially the characters. Unfortunately in many other areas, the graphics kinda stink, and I'd much rather have excellent gameplay than impressive-looking characters.
The gameplay is what sinks this title so low. First off, the controls and camera absolutely suck. That has to be the first focus of any game developers. You can't release a game where the controls and/or camera suck. Number one, there's no reason that the player's character, Tom, can't have his full range of motion controlled by the left analog stick. Unless it's absolutely necessary, and it hardly ever is, I hate the set-up where the left stick moves the character in a "strafing" way and the character can only turn using the right analog stick. Here, it's not only unnecessary, it makes most of the simplest actions a challenge. For example, Tom has to climb on a couple missions. But the game is designed so poorly that you have to frustratingly keep manipulating both the right analog stick and the camera, and then press L1 every time you need to climb, or Tom will descend instead.
Next, I've never seen a worse fighting system. The first problem is that you can't auto-aim or lock on to any targets. At one early point, the game seems to tell you that you can use L2 or R2 to lock on to targets, but that never worked. So to focus on any enemy, you have to struggle with the stupid right analog stick and try to keep adjusting both the character's orientation and the camera, which tends to drift to the wrong angle or make Tom disappear all the time. By that time, you're probably getting pummeled or shot to death.
Next, if you're touching or almost touching an enemy--and that's certainly going to be the case for hand to hand combat or when using melee weapons, the fighting system--which primarily consists of tapping or holding R1, is completely useless. Enemies can pummel you almost in a bear hug, but you just can't move unless you back off. So close fighting tends to consist of you yanking on the left analog stick, yelling at the character to move away, which it won't do 50% of the time, then tapping R1 as much as you can before the enemy gets too close again and makes R1 useless. And if the enemy changes their angle to you in the meantime, you're also going to struggle with the right analog stick to get your character oriented in the right way and to get the camera in position so you can see anything. By that time, you're probably getting pummeled or shot again, and your only option will be to try to move the character away again. My fights often consisted of making Tom run circles around an area like a comedy film, hoping that I could gain enough time to struggle with the analog stick and get a couple shots in before being at the AI's mercy again. So much for realistic fighting.
And the same problems and more exist when trying to fight with guns. If you're touching someone, half the time the controller just won't allow you to fire off a shot, yet they can still riddle you full of holes. Additionally, there's no auto-aim, and the aiming system is ridiculously sensitive, even with the sensitivity set to zero under Options. Gunfights tend to consist of you hopelessly trying to aim or move away while the enemy puts shot after shot into you. Luckily or not, damage seems to be recorded almost randomly. It can take one to ten shots or more to incapacitate any character, and there's no rhyme or reason to it. You can put five shots into an enemy's head and near point blank range and they'll still return fire and hurt you. Yet, the game designers seemed to care enough about realism than they built a recoil into your aiming system, so after shots with powerful enough guns, your aim will float off target, and you'll have to fight with it again.
As for the celebrated graphics, except for the characters and textures that you're close to, they're actually pretty disappointing. The distance always seems mostly empty, and there are often expanses of flat colors and textures nearby when you're driving. The city wasn't very well designed. It's not varied enough, and there aren't many interesting things to see or do. The cars seem slow and they're difficult to control. They also all drive about the same. Some have mentioned the music, but that was also pretty nondescript. A much better job could have been done on that end. Also, as many others have mentioned, the load times are ridiculous and constant. They tend to be over a minute long, and they occur between and in the middle of everything--even races.
Overall, the Mafia port to PS2, at least, seems to have been very rushed. The game feels and plays like an incomplete hack job.

Read this: A red dye called Kermes was made beginning in the Neolithic Period by drying and then crushing the bodies of the females of a tiny scale insect in the genus Kermes, primarily Kermes vermilio. The insects live on the sap of certain trees, especially Kermes oak trees near the Mediterranean region. Jars of kermes have been found in a Neolithic cave-burial at Adaoutse, Bouches-du-Rhône. Kermes from oak trees was later used by Romans, who imported it from Spain. A different variety of dye was made from Porphyrophora hamelii (Armenian cochineal) scale insects that lived on the roots and stems of certain herbs. It was mentioned in texts as early as the 8th century BC, and it was used by the ancient Assyrians and Persians.

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The troubled Blackwater era ends in Iraq on Thursday as another firm takes over the once-dominant company's security services contract in Baghdad. A helicopter for the private security firm then known as Blackwater flies over Baghdad in October 2003. Triple Canopy, a Herndon, Virginia-based company, picks up the expiring contract of the security firm formerly known as Blackwater Worldwide, which changed its name to XE a few months ago. The U.S. State Department decided not to renew XE's contract in January. "When the U.S. government initially asked for our help to assist with an immediate need to protect Americans in Iraq, we answered that call and performed well," XE spokeswoman Anne Tyrell said in a statement Wednesday.

Britain’s 100,000 mutilated women
UP TO 100,000 women in Britain have undergone brutal sexual mutilations and medics in this country are offering to carry out the illegal operations.
An undercover Sunday Times investigation has secretly filmed three men — a doctor, a dentist and an alternative medicine practitioner — offering to circumcise girls as young as 10 or help arrange for the procedure to be carried out.
Female genital mutilation (FGM), which involves the surgical removal of external genitalia and, in some cases, the stitching of the vaginal opening, is widespread across large parts of Africa.
In Britain it is illegal and carries a prison sentence of up to 14 years.
Forward, a charity that campaigns against FGM, revealed this weekend that an estimated 100,000 women in Britain have undergone mutilation. A further 24,000 girls are thought to be at risk of suffering the agonising procedure.
Despite the scale of the problem, the police have failed ||||| As many as 100,000 women in Britain have undergone female genital mutilations (FGM) with medics in the UK offering to carry out the illegal procedure on girls as young as 10, it has been reported.
Investigators from the Sunday Times said they had secretly filmed a doctor, dentist and alternative medicine practitioner who were allegedly willing to perform FGM or arrange for the operation to be carried out. The doctor and dentist deny any wrongdoing.
The practice, which involves the surgical removal of external genitalia and in some cases the stitching of the vaginal opening, is illegal in Britain and carries up to a 14-year prison sentence. It is also against the law to arrange FGM.
The procedure is widespread across parts of Africa. Victims are rarely given anaesthetic and frequently suffer long-term damage and pain.
Research suggests that every year more than 22,000 girls in the UK and up to 6,000 in London are at risk of the potentially fatal procedure.
The Metropolitan police said that since 2008 it had received 166 reports of people who feared they were at risk of FGM. Across all 43 forces in England and Wales, no one has ever been convicted of the offence, according to the Sunday Times.
The newspaper added that only two doctors had been struck off by the General Medical Council since 1980.
According to Forward, a charity which campaigns against FGM, an estimated 100,000 women in the UK have undergone mutilation.
The model Waris Dirie, who was mutilated as a child, is a vociferous opponent of the practice.
Calling for a crackdown on FGM, she said: "If a white girl is abused, the police come break down the door. If a black girl is mutilated, nobody takes care of her. This is what I call racism." |||||
What is a one-paragraph summary of the above article? | – Female genital mutilation is illegal in Great Britain, but as many as 100,000 women have undergone the procedure there, according to an investigation by the Sunday Times. What's more, the inquiry unveiled doctors, alternative medicine practitioners, and even dentists willing to perform the procedure on children as young as 10, according to the Guardian—despite carrying a 14-year prison sentence. The London police alone have received 166 reports of females who feared they were at risk of FGM; however, no one has ever been prosecuted for it in the UK, and only two doctors have been removed from Britain's General Medical Council since 1980. "If a white girl is abused, the police come break down the door," said Somalia-born model Waris Dirie, who underwent FGM as a child and today is an outspoken advocate against the practice.

What's an example of a movie review? | We see a body of dead girl in a morgue with the coroner trying to close the eyes of the girl, but whatever he tries they won't stay open. After this we move into the future and we follow a group of former school friends who hide a terrible secret, but suddenly they start getting picked off one by one in many grisly ways. Through flashbacks we learn of this awful suicide of a shy girl who was trying to be one of the group, but she was shut out by them because they dug up her past and found out some weird occurrences. So, is she back from the grave seeking revenge?
Oh what a great and always spooky story! Well, that's what I hoping I could say. And 'hoping' was as good as it got. This is an forgettable, so-so supernatural horror flick that I actually watched before, but I went in thinking it was my first viewing. So to my surprise it hit me when I started picking up on certain things, but like I said it's quite a forgettable mix that it felt like a first viewing again. "Nightmare' is just another type of it's field that adds a 'few' changes to the gruel. Oh, please give me something that's a bit more fresh. It doesn't have to be entirely original, but this is one formulaic and at times quite tired J-horror flick. Even though it strings along the usual ghost story involving you guessed right
an evil looking, vengeful chick spirit.
But in spite of my negativity of it being the same old, same old story and jolts. This one kind of entertains when its being grisly and popping in some creepy visuals. The deaths are vividly displayed with bite and some originality. While, the gloomy atmosphere alienates the audience with it's murky lighting. The first scene involving the spirit terrorising one of the girls is one blood-curdling experience, but really when it's not trying to shock you. I found it rather coma inducing and I thought about getting some shut-eye. That might be harsh, but it just didn't go anywhere of any interest between those shock moments. You could say that because the supposed mystery is really not much of one, the unsure story is just simply flat and the characters are a self-centred bunch that you don't really care what happens to them. The disjointed story should have focused more on the spirit than that of these bland characters who have one unconvincing group relationship. It just overplayed its cards by becoming overly muddled and taking too long to get going that when it comes to the climax it's just plain ludicrous. The film's haunting ending is a high point, though.
The film looks fine, although it could have done without the snazzy, quick fire editing and the music score was a bit overbearing in playing up the mood. The performances tread a fine line, but Gyu-ri Kim is strong in the lead role.
It's nothing new and it shamelessly steals ideas, but if you can look past that it delivers some nasty thrills. Although, I found the handling of it rather lethargic, despite the odd effective chills. A standard effort all round I guess, but still it's equally missable. | 9 | Flan2021 | imdb_reviews/plain_text:1.0.0 | zs_opt |

– As far as celebrity chef lawsuits go, this one may have Paula Deen's beat. A Thai restaurant in South Beach is suing its former executive chef, known to fans as Chef Bee (real name Piyarat Potha Arreeratn), claiming that when he was hired, he agreed to close his family-owned restaurant—but instead he quit in quite dramatic fashion and returned to that eatery, stealing, the lawsuit claims, recipes, concepts, employees, and publicity photos. Arreeratn, for his part, says (through his lawyer) that the lawsuit basically assumes Thai cuisine "was invented on South Beach in the fall of 2012" when Khong River House opened, and that the restaurant is attempting to subject him to "a Vulcan mind-wipe to obliterate 20 years of cooking experience." Chef Bee, the lawsuit from parent company 50 Eggs Restaurant Company claims, begged for the top job at Khong, and its promotional campaign was built around him. It met with much success upon opening, but shortly before the opening, Chef Bee allegedly disappeared and then, when found, was "panicking" and refused to go into the kitchen: "He stated he would get sick and break out into hives if he had to cook," the lawsuit says, according to the Miami Herald. Executives ultimately reduced his duties to simply promotional ones, but last month, he quit and returned to family-owned restaurant Oishi Thai—and, the lawsuit claims, started featuring the meals and photos he'd stolen. It was all part of "a premeditated plan" to steal those ideas, the lawsuit says. The Miami New Times has more, and notes that the "steamy" suit "reads like an epic novel."
Expand this summary. | A much-touted South Beach Thai restaurant has sued its former celebrity chef, accusing him of stealing its recipes, employees, customers and even publicity photos when he quit last month to return to his family-owned eatery.
But the chef, Piyarat Potha Arreeratn better known to Thai food fans as Chef Bee said through his attorney that the Khong River House is trying to subject him to a Vulcan mind-wipe to obliterate 20 years of cooking experience.
50 Eggs Restaurant Company, which owns the Khong River House as well as several other fashionable South Florida eateries, filed suit against Chef Bee in Miami-Dade circuit court, saying that he carried out a premeditated plan to loot the companys trade secrets to benefit his own restaurant.
He manipulated a friendship to betray a trust, says the lawsuit, which was filed last week and originally reported in Miami New Times.
Chef Bee wasnt available to comment. But his attorney, Lawrence Silverman, called the lawsuit astounding and said it amounts to a claim that Thai food was invented on South Beach in the fall of 2012.
Thats when Khong River opened to much ballyhoo, including an advertising campaign built around Chef Bees experience. The restaurant was quickly a hit with both diners and critics, being named a semifinalist for the James Beard Foundation national award for best new restaurant.
But back in the kitchen, the lawsuit said, the scene was an ugly one. Chef Bee, though he had begged for the executive chef job and gotten a $10,000 bonus (as well as a $90,000 annual salary) to sign a contract with 50 Eggs, disappeared shortly before the restaurants opening, the lawsuit said. When other executives finally tracked him down, Chef Bee stated that he just could not get into the kitchen. He stated he would get sick and break out into hives if he had to cook.
Because it would have been a disaster to have the face of the restaurant pull just days before its grand opening, the lawsuit said, 50 Eggs made him an expediter, a sort of liaison between waiters and the kitchen. But that didnt work either, the lawsuit said, and with Chef Bee unable to cook the dishes and unable even to run a professional kitchen, his duties were reduced to greeting diners and doing media interviews.
50 Eggs tried to give Chef Bee enough training that he could conduct television cooking demonstrations on the restaurants behalf, the lawsuit said. But as soon as he finished his training, he quit, the lawsuit said, and returned to Oishi Thai, the North Miami restaurant owned by his family. (Which, the lawsuit said, Chef Bee had promised to close.) Soon Oishi Thai began featuring meals, employees and publicity photos from the Khong River House, the lawsuit said.
Not only that, but Chef Bee announced his restaurant would start serving Thai street food, a concept that 50 Eggs shared with Chef Bee previously during his employment at Khong River House, the lawsuit added.
The lawsuit also accuses Chef Bee of planning to open a new restaurant in Coral Gables. His decision to quit the Khong River House was not really a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather part of a premeditated plan by Chef Bee to use what 50 Eggs provided to him (e.g. concepts, recipes, inventions, ideas, branding, marketing strategies, training, etc.) and go into competition against 50 Eggs, the lawsuit said.
Stealing 50 Eggs secrets to benefit other restaurants, the lawsuit said, is an unfair and deceptive trade practice in violation of Florida law as well as a non-compete deal that bans Chef Bee from opening a restaurant anywhere in Miami-Dade County within a year of leaving the Khong River House.
The lawsuit concedes that several tiny boxes were left blank in Chef Bees contract that had to be checked in order to activate the non-compete deal and other restrictions on the chefs future business activities. But other documents Chef Bee signed make it clear he knew he was covered by the non-compete clause, the lawsuit said.
Chef Bees lawyer, however, said that was nonsense. They provided a contract to my client. They wanted him to sign it, then and there, and he did, Silverman said. The contract didnt include a non-compete and they never asked him to sign a non-compete. ||||| Bill Wisser One of South Florida's hottest restaurant companies is suing a prominent former chef, alleging deceit, betrayal, and incompetence. In a steamy lawsuit filed this past Tuesday that reads like an epic novel, 50 Eggs Restaurant Company LLC alleges Piyarat Potha Arreeratn, known to most Miami restaurantgoers as Chef Bee, "would break out in hives if he had to cook" and "did not know how to run a professional kitchen."

Bee is the former chef at Khong River House in South Beach. He departed suddenly last month, saying he wanted to return to Oishi Thai, a North Miami place he founded in 2005. 50 Eggs owns not only Khong, which has received national acclaim, but also Yardbird Southern Table & Bar and Swine Southern Table & Bar, two of the region's hottest eateries.
"I am personally and professionally disappointed in Bee's decisions, all of which forced us to this point," says 50 Eggs CEO John Kunkel. "It is truly unfortunate that Bee forced us to seek the help of a court of law to teach him the difference between right and wrong."
The 45-page lawsuit, filed in Miami-Dade Circuit Court, drew a strong response from Bee, whose lawyers call the claims preposterous. "[Kunkel] promised me this would be good for my family company," he said. "After two months, he broke that promise."
The lawsuit and response provide a stunning look at what happened backstage at the innovative restaurant that was a semifinalist for the 2013 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant; the award recognizes establishments that are "likely to have a significant impact on the industry in years to come." When Khong River House opened in December 2012, the restaurant gained an instant following thanks to its warm and inviting décor, innovative cocktail program, and authentic Thai street food. Though the news release announcing the opening of the restaurant listed a team of three chefs in the kitchen, it was the executive chef -- Bee -- who became the breakout star, quickly gaining celebrity status with a seminar spot at the South Beach Wine & Food Festival.

Benedict emphasized the Biblical account of creation in his Easter Vigil homily Saturday, saying it was wrong to think at some point "in some tiny corner of the cosmos there evolved randomly some species of living being capable of reasoning and of trying to find rationality within creation, or to bring rationality into it."
"If man were merely a random product of evolution in some place on the margins of the universe, then his life would make no sense or might even be a chance of nature," he said. "But no, reason is there at the beginning: creative, divine reason."
Church teaching holds that Roman Catholicism and evolutionary theory are not necessarily at odds: A Christian can, for example, accept the theory of evolution to help explain developments, but is taught to believe that God, not random chance, is the origin of the world. The Vatican, however, warns against creationism, or the overly literal interpretation of the Bibilical account of creation.
Benedict's voice was hoarse and he coughed several times during the three-hour service, which ended after midnight. It was the second late night in a row for the 84-year-old pontiff following his participation in the Good Friday Way of the Cross procession at Rome's Colosseum, which commemorates Jesus' death.
On Sunday, he celebrates Easter Mass in St. Peter's Square and gives his traditional Easter greetings in dozens of languages _ his last major celebration before next week's beatification of Pope John Paul II.
The Easter Vigil is the most important liturgy on the church's calendar, when the faithful mark the passage from Christ's death to his resurrection on Easter Sunday. It is rich with symbols: fire and light signifying Jesus' resurrection, and the water used to baptize people into the faith.
On Saturday night, Benedict baptized six adults from Switzerland, Albania, Russia, Peru, Singapore and China, pouring water over their heads as he prayed.
Benedict began the service by lighting a candle and walking down a darkened central aisle of St. Peter's Basilica in silence, while hundreds of faithful in the pews shared the flame from candle to candle until the entire basilica twinkled.
This year, students of the Legion of Christ, the conservative order undergoing a major Vatican-mandated overhaul, provided the liturgical service at the vigil. The Vatican took over the Legion last May 1 after confirming its founder was a pedophile. ||||| We celebrate this day as the origin and the goal of our existence.
'The first day of the week was the third day after Jesus' death. It was the day when he showed himself to his disciples as the Risen Lord. In truth, this encounter had something unsettling about it. The world had changed. This man who had died was now living with a life that was no longer threatened by any death. A new form of life had been inaugurated, a new dimension of creation', Pope Benedict proclaimed to the faithful.
VATICAN CITY (Catholic Online) - The long 40 days of Lent now ended, the Great Triduum brings us to the Easter Vigil. The Vicar of Christ and Successor of the Apostle Peter, Pope Benedict XVI, gave this wonderful homily to the faithful who gathered in St. Peters Basilica. We share it in its entirety with our readers around the globe. (Editor in Chief, Deacon Keith Fournier):
*****
2011 Easter Vigil Homily of Pope Benedict XVI
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The liturgical celebration of the Easter Vigil makes use of two eloquent signs. First there is the fire that becomes light. As the procession makes its way through the church, shrouded in the darkness of the night, the light of the Paschal Candle becomes a wave of lights, and it speaks to us of Christ as the true morning star that never sets - the Risen Lord in whom light has conquered darkness. The second sign is water. On the one hand, it recalls the waters of the Red Sea, decline and death, the mystery of the Cross. But now it is presented to us as spring water, a life-giving element amid the dryness. Thus it becomes the image of the sacrament of baptism, through which we become sharers in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Yet these great signs of creation, light and water, are not the only constituent elements of the liturgy of the Easter Vigil. Another essential feature is the ample encounter with the words of sacred Scripture that it provides. Before the liturgical reform there were twelve Old Testament readings and two from the New Testament. The New Testament readings have been retained. The number of Old Testament readings has been fixed at seven, but depending upon the local situation, they may be reduced to three.
The Church wishes to offer us a panoramic view of whole trajectory of salvation history, starting with creation, passing through the election and the liberation of Israel to the testimony of the prophets by which this entire history is directed ever more clearly towards Jesus Christ. In the liturgical tradition all these readings were called prophecies. Even when they are not directly foretelling future events, they have a prophetic character, they show us the inner foundation and orientation of history. They cause creation and history to become transparent to what is essential. In this way they take us by the hand and lead us towards Christ, they show us the true Light.
At the Easter Vigil, the journey along the paths of sacred Scripture begins with the account of creation. This is the liturgy's way of telling us that the creation story is itself a prophecy. It is not information about the external processes by which the cosmos and man himself came into being. The Fathers of the Church were well aware of this. They did not interpret the story as an account of the process of the origins of things, but rather as a pointer towards the essential, towards the true beginning and end of our being.
Now, one might ask: is it really important to speak also of creation during the Easter Vigil? Could we not begin with the events in which God calls man, forms a people for himself and creates his history with men upon the earth? The answer has to be: no. To omit the creation would be to misunderstand the very history of God with men, to diminish it, to lose sight of its true order of greatness. The sweep of history established by God reaches back to the origins, back to creation.
Our profession of faith begins with the words: "We believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth". If we omit the beginning of the Credo, the whole history of salvation becomes too limited and too small. The Church is not some kind of association that concerns itself with man's religious needs but is limited to that objective. No, she brings man into contact with God and thus with the source of all things. Therefore we relate to God as Creator, and so we have a responsibility for creation. Our responsibility extends as far as creation because it comes from the Creator.
Only because God created everything can he give us life and direct our lives. Life in the Church's faith involves more than a set of feelings and sentiments and perhaps moral obligations. It embraces man in his entirety, from his origins to his eternal destiny. Only because creation belongs to God can we place ourselves completely in his hands. And only because he is the Creator can he give us life for ever. Joy over creation, thanksgiving for creation and responsibility for it all belong together.
The central message of the creation account can be defined more precisely still. In the opening words of his Gospel, Saint John sums up the essential meaning of that account in this single statement: "In the beginning was the Word". In effect, the creation account that we listened to earlier is characterized by the regularly recurring phrase: "And God said ." The world is a product of the Word, of the Logos, as Saint John expresses it, using a key term from the Greek language. "Logos" means "reason", "sense", "word". It is not reason pure and simple, but creative Reason, that speaks and communicates itself. It is Reason that both is and creates sense.
The creation account tells us, then, that the world is a product of creative Reason. Hence it tells us that, far from there being an absence of reason and freedom at the origin of all things, the source of everything is creative Reason, love, and freedom. Here we are faced with the ultimate alternative that is at stake in the dispute between faith and unbelief: are irrationality, lack of freedom and pure chance the origin of everything, or are reason, freedom and love at the origin of being? Does the primacy belong to unreason or to reason? This is what everything hinges upon in the final analysis.
As believers we answer, with the creation account and with John, that in the beginning is reason. In the beginning is freedom. Hence it is good to be a human person. It is not the case that in the expanding universe, at a late stage, in some tiny corner of the cosmos, there evolved randomly some species of living being capable of reasoning and of trying to find rationality within creation, or to bring rationality into it. If man were merely a random product of evolution in some place on the margins of the universe, then his life would make no sense or might even be a chance of nature. But no, Reason is there at the beginning: creative, divine Reason. And because it is Reason, it also created freedom; and because freedom can be abused, there also exist forces harmful to creation.
Hence a thick black line, so to speak, has been drawn across the structure of the universe and across the nature of man. But despite this contradiction, creation itself remains good, life remains good, because at the beginning is good Reason, God's creative love. Hence the world can be saved. Hence we can and must place ourselves on the side of reason, freedom and love - on the side of God who loves us so much that he suffered for us, that from his death there might emerge a new, definitive and healed life.
The Old Testament account of creation that we listened to clearly indicates this order of realities. But it leads us a further step forward. It has structured the process of creation within the framework of a week leading up to the Sabbath, in which it finds its completion. For Israel, the Sabbath was the day on which all could participate in God's rest, in which man and animal, master and slave, great and small were united in God's freedom. Thus the Sabbath was an expression of the Covenant between God and man and creation.
In this way, communion between God and man does not appear as something extra, something added later to a world already fully created. The Covenant, communion between God and man, is inbuilt at the deepest level of creation. Yes, the Covenant is the inner ground of creation, just as creation is the external presupposition of the Covenant. God made the world so that there could be a space where he might communicate his love, and from which the response of love might come back to him. From God's perspective, the heart of the man who responds to him is greater and more important than the whole immense material cosmos, for all that the latter allows us to glimpse something of God's grandeur.
Easter and the paschal experience of Christians, however, now require us to take a further step. The Sabbath is the seventh day of the week. After six days in which man in some sense participates in God's work of creation, the Sabbath is the day of rest. But something quite unprecedented happened in the nascent Church: the place of the Sabbath, the seventh day, was taken by the first day. As the day of the liturgical assembly, it is the day for encounter with God through Jesus Christ who as the Risen Lord encountered his followers on the first day, Sunday, after they had found the tomb empty.
The structure of the week is overturned. No longer does it point towards the seventh day, as the time to participate in God's rest. It sets out from the first day as the day of encounter with the Risen Lord. This encounter happens afresh at every celebration of the Eucharist, when the Lord enters anew into the midst of his disciples and gives himself to them, allows himself, so to speak, to be touched by them, sits down at table with them. This change is utterly extraordinary, considering that the Sabbath, the seventh day seen as the day of encounter with God, is so profoundly rooted in the Old Testament. If we also bear in mind how much the movement from work towards the rest-day corresponds to a natural rhythm, the dramatic nature of this change is even more striking.
This revolutionary development that occurred at the very the beginning of the Church's history can be explained only by the fact that something utterly new happened that day. The first day of the week was the third day after Jesus' death. It was the day when he showed himself to his disciples as the Risen Lord. In truth, this encounter had something unsettling about it. The world had changed. This man who had died was now living with a life that was no longer threatened by any death. A new form of life had been inaugurated, a new dimension of creation.
The first day, according to the Genesis account, is the day on which creation begins. Now it was the day of creation in a new way, it had become the day of the new creation. We celebrate the first day. And in so doing we celebrate God the Creator and his creation. Yes, we believe in God, the Creator of heaven and earth. And we celebrate the God who was made man, who suffered, died, was buried and rose again. We celebrate the definitive victory of the Creator and of his creation. We celebrate this day as the origin and the goal of our existence.
We celebrate it because now, thanks to the risen Lord, it is definitively established that reason is stronger than unreason, truth stronger than lies, love stronger than death. We celebrate the first day because we know that the black line drawn across creation does not last for ever. We celebrate it because we know that those words from the end of the creation account have now been definitively fulfilled: "God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good" (Gen 1:31). Amen.

What is a summary? | – There is "divine reason" behind creation and humanity, said Pope Benedict XVI in his Easter Vigil homily yesterday. "Are irrationality, lack of freedom, and pure chance the origin of everything, or are reason, freedom, and love at the origin of being?" he asked. "If man were merely a random product of evolution in some place on the margins of the universe, then his life would make no sense or might even be a chance of nature. But no, reason is there at the beginning: creative, divine reason. " The 84-year-old Benedict coughed several times and his voice sounded sore, according to the AP report of the three-hour service, the most important liturgy on the Catholic church's calendar. The liturgical service was provided by students from the Legion of Christ, a conservative order being restructured after its was found last year to be embroiled in a sexual abuse scandal.

Here is an email: Ken, it is my understanding the Harry was recommended to us by Irwin Setlzer and is going to talk to our Advisory Committe and maybe the Management Committee at the end of the month in London. ( I think that Steve organized this at your request?) I had breakfast with Harry in D.C. and while I don't know a lot about him, I was impressed by some of his initial thoughts and the "totalilty" of his thinking as it relates to rebuilding our image and reputation. He told me he had spent some time talking with Steve, Mark and Greg in an attempt to prepare his presentation but, as noted below, he would like to have some additional information. I want to be careful here as I am not officially involved and I do not think Steve knows I met Harry, therefore I thought I should check with you before sharing our internal survey with him, or the external "image" study.

By. Chris Paine. Zara Phillips told Mike Tindall he was an 'idiot' when he splashed out on a £12,000 race horse at a charity auction. Now the Queen's granddaughter may find herself eating humble pie her at Saturday's Grand National, where her husband's horse Monbeg Dude is tipped to win. Rugby star Tindall was 'well-oiled', according to his Royal wife, at a Cheltenham auction in 2010 when he bid on the nine-year-old gelding. But four years on the Princess and former. Olympic silver medallist is even helping to train Monbeg Dude, a 14-1. second favourite with bookmakers that a top mathematician believes will. win the Grand National - according a formula he developed. Part owner Mike Tindall bid for £12,000-horse Monbeg Dude at a charity auction four years ago. Now the nine-year-old gelding is a 14-1 second favourite for the Grand National and the top choice of mathematician William Hartston. 'Idiot': Zara Phillips and her husband, pictured here together at Cheltenham, disagreed over the choice to buy into the horse. Monbeg Dude is now worth a reported £200,000, after costing just £12,000. GoggleBox intellectual William Hartston, 66, spent days carefully studying the statistics from every single Grand National which has taken place since 1886. He then used a complex formula which included the bookies' odds, age of the horse, the letters in the owner's name, and the letters and number of words in the horses' names. And he concluded Monbeg, who is trained by Michael Scudamore and will be ridden by top jockey Paul Carberry, has the best chance of winning the race. Hartston said: 'This year's scoring system is based on a re-analysis of the results of all Aintree Grand Nationals since 1886. The man with the plan: William Hartston spent days carefully studying the statistics from every single Grand National which has taken place since 1886 to develop his formula - and he has Monbeg Dude coming out in front. She's warming to him! Zara Phillips even helps to train Monbeg Dude, who has raked in £122,245 in prize money from four race wins. According to a complicated mathematical model, Monbeg Dude is the hot favourite to win the Grand National. Points are awarded from one to four according to six criteria:. The last two items are added together and the sum then halved to give a single figure from 0 to 4 for the trainer's name. The top-scoring horses using this system are as follows (points are then added depending on the odds offered by William Hill):. 'Unlike last year, I have given a weighting towards recent years and added an item relating to the name of the trainer. 'I would have liked to include the name of the jockey too, but in many cases this is not available until the morning of the race. 'Had I been able to do so last year, Seabass would not have been my top choice: no jockey whose first name begins with K has ever won the Grand National, so Katie Walsh stood very little chance. 'Monbeg came top and looks like the best bet as far as I'm concerned. 'I love applying statistical techniques to everyday events. Hartston is a Cambridge-educated mathematician and industrial psychologist who was a chess champion in the 1970s. He. has since become a TV boffin, applying statistics to the Miss Great. Britain competition and is now a regular 'viewer' on Channel 4 show. Gogglebox. After. calculating the points total for Saturday's runners and riders Hartston. studied the odds and favourites with a team of experts from William. Hill. Get in! Rugby player Tindall, who according to his Royal wife was 'well oiled' when he bought into Monbeg Dude, will be hoping for similar joy at this Saturday's race meeting. Monbeg Dude's trainer Michael Scudamore says his team will need a 'bit more luck than just a mathematical formula to ensure a win' The bookies' spokeswoman Kate Miller said: 'Monbeg Dude is the perfect age, level of talent, and stamina to make-up into a first-class Grand National contender. 'With the bookmakers already running scared, the 'perfect storm' of royal and sporting connections- will also ensure a hefty payout to punters if he wins on Saturday. Monbeg Dude's trainer Michael Scudamore isn't quite buying into Hartston's model, preferring to look at his horse's form as a marker for Saturday's meeting. 'It being the Grand National, we're going to need a bit more luck than just a mathematical formula to ensure a win,' he told the Daily Telegraph. Monbeg Dude has earned his connections £122,245, including four race wins, and is now worth a reported £200,000, according to the Daily Star. A 103-year-old believed to be Britain’s oldest punter is hoping for a winner on this year’s Grand National - after betting on the race for more than seven decades without success. George Atkinson said he is hoping to finally have a successful bet on the world-famous race, so he can 'die a happy man'. Mr Atkinson has placed bets religiously on the Grand National each year since the 1940s. George Atkinson, a 103-year-old who is believed to be Britain's oldest punter, is hoping for a winner on this year's Grand National - after betting on the race for more than seven decades without success. That's a lot of birthdays! George says he would 'die a happy man' if he finally wins this year. But he has never managed to back a winner, and fears the 2014 race is his last chance. And after such a long run of betting, he has decided to pin his hopes on 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Long Run, owned by Robert Waley-Cohen and trained by Nicky Henderson. Mr Atkinson said: 'Any winner is nice - but the national would be a dream come true - I could die a happy man.' The 103-year-old, from Swaffham, Norfolk, placed his first bet on the Grand National in the 1940s after leaving the Army. He had placed his first ever bet when he was just 12, when his bookmaker grandfather took him to the Epsom Derby. He said: 'I can’t remember the name as it lost - in fact they all lose. I’ve never even had a place.'I was once told to back Oxo in 1959 but I didn’t place a bet on it - it won and I’ve regretted it for 55 years.' George has pin his hopes on 2011 Cheltenham Gold Cup winner Long Run. The Grand National is not the only competition Mr Atkinson has a flutter on - winning £301 from a £1 stake in 2013 by correctly predicting three of the numbers on the Irish Lottery. 'Horses are my favourite, but I love a dog race too,' he said. 'Number seven is my lucky number, but I’m not the luckiest punter.' The widowed father-of-seven, who is a grandfather and great-grandfather, goes to his local branch of bookmaker William Hill in Swaffham twice a day and even celebrated his 103rd birthday there. Believed to be Britain’s oldest punter, the company has given him a £103 bet - £51.50 each way - as he tries to fulfil his dream of a Grand National win. He has decided to put it on Long Run - whose odds of winning are currently at 14/1 - and said: 'It has been a long run without a winner and it feels like my time.' Happy punter: 'Horses are my favourite, but I love a dog race too' William Hill took more than five million bets on the Grand National last year and is expected to accept over £30 million in wagers in 2014. According to the bookmakers, around 57 per cent of Britain’s adult population is expected to place a bet on the Grand National, with 51 per cent of those who bet making their selection based on personal preferences. Based on a survey of 2,066 people conducted for the firm by Populus, 36 per cent of people will choose a horse by name; 17 per cent make their selection by odds; 9 per cent will leave it purely to chance, and make a random selection; and just 2 per cent will pick because of the colours worn by the jockey. Yvonne Dobinson, manager of William Hill Swaffham, said: 'George is living proof of how hard it is to win the Grand National with over 70 years failing to pick a winner. 'But he has picked a corker this year and even we will be cheering Long Run on for his sake.'

Kim Han-sik, chief executive of Chonghaejin Marine, guilty of negligence. As well as overloading, he allowed illegal renovations to increase capacity. Dangerous practices allowed them to make extra £2million profits last year. Sentence is toughest penalty handed to anyone other than ferry's crew. The Sewol capsized on routine voyage to the holiday island of Jeju in April. Most of the passengers who drowned were teenage schoolchildren.
Article: | The head of the South Korean ferry company responsible for the deaths of 304 people who drowned when its vessel capsized in April has been jailed for ten years. Kim Han-sik, the chief executive of Chonghaejin Marine, was found guilty of negligence causing death and embezzlement - as it emerged he routinely allowed overloading and illegal renovations to be made to increase the ship's capacity. The sentence is the toughest penalty handed down to anyone other than the ferry's crew over the tragedy - in which 304 passengers, mostly teenage children died. Scroll down for video. Kim Han-sik, the chief executive of Chonghaejin Marine who operated the ferry on which 304 people died, has been jailed for ten years. Kim, 71, also received a 2 million won (£1150) fine for failing to stop the improper storage and overloaded cargo on the ship that judges ruled contributed to the sinking, the Gwangju District Court said in a statement. He apologised to the families of the victims but said last month that he was simply a paid employee of the company and the decisions that led to the disaster were made by the firm's de-facto owner, Yoo Byung-un. Yoo, who was the head of the family that owned a holding company at the centre of a network of business interests that included the ferry operator, was found dead in June. The overloaded Sewol, carrying 476 people, capsized 12 miles off the island of Byungpoongon on April 16 - while making a turn on a routine voyage to the holiday island of Jeju. Capsized: The ship capsized while making a turn during a routine voyage to the holiday island of Jeju. The vessel was later found to be defective, with additions made to increase passenger capacity making it top-heavy and unstable. By routinely overloading the Sewol, Chonghaejin made an extra £2 million in profit in the past year, according to the indictment. Alongside Kim, four other Chonghaejin officials were sentenced to three to six years in prison on similar charges, and two other company employees got suspended prison sentences, according to a court verdict. Doomed: The 6,825-tonne Sewol ferry was carrying 476 people on board when it capsized. Of the 304 who died, 250 were students from the same high school. An official from the Korea Shipping Association, which oversees safety issues of ships, was sentenced to three years in prison for allowing the ferry to leave a port near Seoul without checking its cargo and storage. Two employees at a private company that loaded the ship both received a two-year prison term. During the trial, prosecutor Park Jae-eok said the five jailed defendants neglected the passengers' safety in return for economic benefits and must be held responsible. Kim, the CEO, encouraged managers at a weekly gathering to meet the ferry's cargo goals even as he sought to sell the ship because of instability caused by the redesign, mounting losses and too much cost, Park said. If the cargo goal was not met, the weekly meeting was used to caution employees, he said. The approach of winter and the structural weakening of the vessel that has been under water for seven months in strong currents made it dangerous for divers to continue searching. Negligent: Lee Jun-Seok, the captain of the South Korea ferry that capsized killing 300 people including 250 pupils from the same school, was sentenced to 36 years in prison, but acquitted of murder. Sentenced: Lee (second left in front row) sits in court with other senior members of the Sewol ferry who were given jail terms of between 15 and 30 years, but also found not guilty of murder. The prosecutor also said that the employees at Chonghaejin were responsible for the captain and crew's abandonment of the sinking ship and the failure to protect passengers because they did not oversee sailors' emergency training and spent only £1 on training last year. That money covered the fee for issuing a paper for a sailor who received education elsewhere, Park said. The 15 surviving crew members including the captain were convicted last week on negligence charges and sentenced to between five and 36 years in jail. Last month South Korean prosecutors sought the death penalty for the captain of the ferry, Lee Joon-seok, 68 - after branding him a liar who abandoned the Sewol despite knowing that hundreds of trapped passengers would probably die. The decision to end the search was agreed by the families of the nine passengers still missing. The public rage directed at Lee had intensified following the release of pictures showing him clambering aboard a lifeboat while hundreds of young passengers remained trapped in their cabins and other parts of the sinking ferry. It emerged that before leaving his ship the captain had instructed the remaining passengers to stay where they were, even as the vessel began to tilt dramatically. Prosecutors argued that this decision alone contributed to the tragic loss of life. Many of the victims' families also demanded the death sentence but Lee was ultimately convicted of gross negligence last week and sentenced to 36 years behind bars - meaning he will most likely die in pirson. After the prosecution rested its case, Lee apologised to the families of the victims, saying he never intended to harm anyone. 'I will repent until the day I die and ask for the victims' families' forgiveness,' he said. 'I swear with my hand over my heart, I did not intend to kill anyone. I never even thought of such a thing.' More than seven months after the ferry Sewol sank on its way to a southern resort island, the country is still grappling with the aftermath of the disaster that exposed serious shortcomings in public safety and sparked fierce political wrangling. Divers recovered 295 bodies from the wreckage before the government stopped underwater searches last week. Nine victims remain missing. | 7 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |

Read this: Technically, all these coins are still legal tender at face value, though some are far more valuable today for their numismatic value, and for gold and silver coins, their precious metal value. From 1965 to 1970 the Kennedy half dollar was the only circulating coin with any silver content, which was removed in 1971 and replaced with cupronickel. However, since 1992, the U.S. Mint has produced special Silver Proof Sets in addition to the regular yearly proof sets with silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars in place of the standard copper-nickel versions. In addition, an experimental $4.00 (Stella) coin was also minted in 1879, but never placed into circulation, and is properly considered to be a pattern rather than an actual coin denomination.

Dreamgirls, despite its fistful of Tony wins in an incredibly weak year on Broadway, has never been what one would call a jewel in the crown of stage musicals. However, that is not to say that in the right cinematic hands it could not be fleshed out and polished into something worthwhile on-screen. Unfortunately, what transfers to the screen is basically a slavishly faithful version of the stage hit with all of its inherent weaknesses intact. First, the score has never been one of the strong points of this production and the film does not change that factor. There are lots of songs (perhaps too many?), but few of them are especially memorable. The closest any come to catchy tunes are the title song and One Night Only - the much acclaimed And I Am Telling You That I Am Not Going is less a great song than it is a dramatic set piece for the character of Effie (Jennifer Hudson). The film is slick and technically well-produced, but the story and characters are surprisingly thin and lacking in any resonance. There is some interest in the opening moments, watching Jamie Foxx's Svengali-like manager manipulate his acts to the top, but that takes a back seat in the latter portion of the film, when the story conveniently tries to cast him as a villain, despite his having been right from a business stand-point for a good majority of the film. Beyonce Knowles is lovely and sings her songs perfectly well, but is stuck with a character who is basically all surface glitz. Anika Noni Rose as the third member of the Dreamgirls trio literally has nothing to do for the entire film. Eddie Murphy acquits himself well as a singer obviously based on James Brown, but the role is not especially meaty and ultimately has little impact. Foxx would seem ideal casting, but he seems oddly withdrawn and bored. The film's biggest selling point is surely former American Idol contestant/Oscar winner Jennifer Hudson in the central role of Effie White, the temperamental singer who gets booted from the group and makes a triumphant closing act return. For me, Effie has always been a big problem in both the show and the movie. The film obviously wants you to feel sorry for her and rather ham-handedly takes her side, but I have never been sure that this character deserves that kind of devotion. From the start, Effie conducts herself for the most part like an obnoxious, egotistical, self-centered diva, who is more interested in what everyone else can do for her rather than having much vested interest in the group of which she is a part. When she is booted from the group for her unprofessionalism and bad attitude, the charges are more than well-founded, but the stage show/film seem to think Effie should be cut unlimited slack simply because she has a great voice. Even though the film tries to soften some of Effie's harder edges to make her more likable, the charges still stand. Her story becomes more manipulative by suggesting she should have our further sympathy because she is an unwed mother struggling to raise her daughter - using the implication that (much like the talent card) motherhood immediately makes any behavior excusable. Indeed the only big effort the film makes to show Effie's mothering is to tell us about it and then include a scene where she barks at her daughter in the unemployment office, insists that the girl has "no father" and then refuse to look for gainful employment to support them since singing is all she knows. In the hands of a skillful actress, the gaps could perhaps have been remedied with technique and charisma. Unfortunately, Hudson is not that actress. She sings well, but the dialog-driven moments do not come naturally to her nor do high emotional moments. Effie's signature moment (the aforementioned And I Am Telling You... number) is well-sung by Hudson, but emotionally flat in the acting department. Effie is supposed to expressing her rage and desperation at her predicament, but Hudson comes off as a cabaret performer belting out a hot number. All in all, not quite the emotional highlight one expects. The latter portion of the film is basically a predictable melange of events that maneuver Foxx into Hudson's earlier position and allow her to strut back in and lord it over everyone. Foxx's criminal offenses in the film are undoubtedly par for the course of many struggling record producers, but the film's seeming implication that he has it coming because he helped usher in the disco era is rather ridiculous, not to mention pretentious and condescending, particularly coming from a film with all of the depth of a puddle. The end result is a faithful rendition of the stage hit, drained of emotion, energy or anything that can be described as dynamic.

Midfielder has returned with the Chelsea squad from friendly in Germany. Manager Jose Mourinho believes the signing of Cesc Fabregas is a huge coup for the club as they search for trophy success this season. Former Gunner signed a five-year deal, moving for £30m from Barcelona.
Article: | By. Alex Sharp. Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has shown his life is great on and off the pitch at the moment. The Spanish international, a £30 million summer acquisition from Barcelona, has been in impressive form on pre-season for the Blues. He’s now been reunited with his glamorous girlfriend Daniella Semaan, posting on Instagram: ‘Back home with my baby @4ladyd.’VIDEO Scroll down to watch Cesc Fabregas scores first Chelsea goal with free-kick. Pucker up: Cesc Fabregas is delighted to be reunited with girlfriend Daniella Semaan. The 27-year-old has returned from Germany where Chelsea slumped to a surprise 3-0 loss to Werder Bremen on Sunday, the side’s first pre-season defeat of the summer. Fabregas has been signalled out for high praise from Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho who believes the summer signing is the missing piece in his Chelsea puzzle to win trophies this season. Mourinho said: 'He can accelerate the intensity of the game or he can reduce it. He's very intelligent and he has goals. We are so happy and all the players have a fantastic feeling around him as they really feel that he sees football too fast, too fast. In form: The World Cup winner has impressed for Chelsea in pre-season scoring his first goal for the Blues. High regard: Mourinho has hailed Fabregas as 'the missing piece of our engine' VIDEO We need more games - Mourinho. 'I always thought Cesc would be a Barcelona player because he is so good and being a Catalan and with the end of Xavi's career coming. When we heard the information he'd decided to come back to London we knew he was the one we wanted. 'His football brain is what we need in our team. I see him everywhere. His best quality is the speed of how he analyses the game and executes. It is difficult for him to lose the ball or make the wrong decision. Mourinho has bolstered Chelsea’s squad for the upcoming campaign with Filipe Luis, Didier Drogba and Diego Costa all joining Fabregas at the Blues. The Chelsea boss is particularly impressed with Fabregas’ versatility he brings to the squad. 'He can play as a No 10 and score or a No 8 and give most of his game to the team as we have [Nemanja] Matic as anchorman and [John Obi] Mikel. Then we have Oscar and Willian as No 10s. Cesc is both, he is the missing piece of our engine.' | 8 | Flan2021 | cnn_dailymail:3.4.0 | zs_opt |
(CNN) -- Armed renegade soldiers walked through Mali's damaged presidential palace on Thursday, hours after the troops' leaders claimed to have ousted the West African nation's democratically elected leader.
Shell casings, bullet-ridden cars and shattered windows were evident in video from outside the palace, as well as at least one burned-out room inside.
And there was no sign of or indication of what happened to President Amadou Toumani Toure, with the military group's apparent leader Capt. Amadou Sanogo saying little about him beyond that he was "safe."
Still, within much of Mali on Thursday night, the situation appeared to be relatively calm as most people appeared to have abided by coup leaders' call for a nighttime curfew.
Amadou Konare, a spokesman for the troops behind the apparent coup, asked citizens to return to their jobs Friday, though he gave no timetable as to when Mali's borders would reopen.
Earlier Thursday, Konare was among a group of soldiers wearing fatigues who said on television that they had suspended the constitution and dissolved public institutions because of the government's handling of an insurgency.
"Considering the incapacity of the regime in effectively fighting against terrorism and restoring dignity to the Malian people, using its constitutional rights, the armed forces of Mali, along with other security forces, have decided to take on their responsibilities to put an end to this incompetent regime of President Amadou Toumani Toure," said Konare.
Surgeons told an aid worker -- who asked to remain anonymous -- that 29 people who had been injured as a result of the recent unrest were in Bamako's main hospital, while another nine were in a medical facility in Kati, about 18 kilometers (11 miles) to the northwest.

The modernist views hold that classical music is considered primarily a written musical tradition, preserved in music notation, as opposed to being transmitted orally, by rote, or by recordings of particular performances.[citation needed] While there are differences between particular performances of a classical work, a piece of classical music is generally held to transcend any interpretation of it. The use of musical notation is an effective method for transmitting classical music, since the written music contains the technical instructions for performing the work.
