Graphic closeup footage of the dead bodies are shown, floating fully clothed in the water. The lifeless bodies appear to be left unburied, with footage later showing one of the corpses rotting on the sand. As they walk past, several of the victims stare into the camera as they are led to their brutal death at the hands of the extremists. Dressed in brightly coloured t-shirts and patterned trousers, the innocent men are forced to form a human chain, holding the waist of the man in front of them. The video show Al-Shabaab coldly executing civilians with machine guns before leaving their bodies to rot on the beach. Al-Shabaab has become well known for its indiscriminate targeting of civilians and government figures, particularly in rural areas of the country. Other scenes show a group of six unarmed young Somali men being led out of a small prison room. Dressed in brightly coloured t-shirts and patterned trousers, the innocent men are forced to form a human chain, holding the waist of the man in front of them.

Militants coldly execute the victims with a volley of heavy machine gun fire. The bodies are shown falling into the sea as the terrorists move on to their next victims. All of the victims appear to be young men in their mid 20s. It is unclear how they were captured by the Al Qaeda linked group. The video comes after reports that piracy is making a comeback off the coast of Somalia, following the rise of illegal fishing vessels.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Kolo Toure always knew that Liverpool would turn things around after a difficult start to their Premier League campaign and has cited manager Brendan Rodgers as the reason. Despite coming within two points of winning the title last season, the Reds initially struggled this term after losing Luis Suarez and bringing in a raft of new signings - losing four of their opening five league games. However, Liverpool have been the form team of 2015, winning seven and drawing two of their league games to challenge for a Champions League place while reaching the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Kolo Toure (left) trains ahead of Liverpool's FA Cup quarter-final clash with Blackburn on Sunday . The defender insists he always knew Brendan Rodgers would come good for Liverpool this season . Toure has hailed 'intelligent' Rodgers for making Liverpool the Premier League form team of 2015 . Speaking to The Independent, Toure said: I'm not surprised by the turn around because the manager is great, really intelligent in working out problems. 'He pays attention to every detail, tries different things, pushes players so you don't get lazy. We had a lot of new players coming in, especially young ones from abroad who had to settle in. 'I moved to England when I was 21 so i know it takes time to fit in, to learn. I knew that eventually it would all come together, and that is what the boss kept telling us as well.' Liverpool face Blackburn Rovers on Sunday for a chance of boosting their season even further by reaching the FA Cup semi-finals . Toure, who has returned from winning the Africa Cup of Nations with the Ivory Coast, could become the first player in history to win the FA Cup with three different clubs, having already collected the trophy with Arsenal (2003, 2005) and Manchester City (2011).

'When you're with a big team like Liverpool, you can't expect to start every game, especially because I was a way with the Ivory Coast for almost a month. 'But I am always ready to contribute whether it is on the pitch or in the dressing room. We have a team that's hungry for success, with exciting young players that I help guide with experience.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Manchester United are the most popular English football club worldwide and also the wealthiest. They are comfortably ahead of all their rivals in both these categories, with just four contenders in the pack behind them vying to be authentic ‘global’ names with financial clout to match. That quartet are Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City. Popularity has been measured by combined followings on Facebook and Twitter - the two biggest social media platforms, used by more than a billion people - while wealth has been measured by income in the most recently completed season, namely 2013-14. Manchester United are closing in on five million followers on social media site Twitter . United have also attracted a staggering 63 million likes on Facebook . At the other end of the scale, Northampton Town have fewer than 30,000 followers on Twitter . The clubs’ global fanbases and wealth have been considered as part of a Sportsmail study to explore which English clubs are the ‘biggest’; 58 different teams of the current 92 in the top four divisions have been included in the study, having played in England’s top division for at least a season. United were slower than most clubs in embracing social media, not setting up an official Facebook page until 2010 and only starting an official Twitter account in 2012. But with a following now of more than 70 million people across those two platforms, United are way ahead of Chelsea in second place (47m), Arsenal (38m), Liverpool (30m) and City (21m). There is then a big drop-off before Tottenham in sixth (7.5m) and another drop off before Aston Villa, Everton and Newcastle, each with between two and three million ‘followers’ on official social network platforms. No other teams have as many as two million, although every club in the country now has an official Facebook and Twitter presence and all clubs have at least tens of thousands of followers on these sites. Manchester City are the defending Premier League champions but trail their rivals United in the money table . The full details for all the clubs in Sportsmail's study are in the accompanying tables. ‘Big’ clubs almost by definition will have lots of supporters of one kind or another; increasingly these are spread around the world, fans whose primary engagement with the teams they follow being via television and the internet. It is notable how significant membership or recent membership of the Premier League appears to be in influencing the number of social media followers. Swansea, Hull, Fulham, QPR, Stoke and Norwich all make the top 20 in our list whereas multiple former English title winners including Leeds, Wolves and Blackburn do not. Does that mean Swansea are ‘bigger’ than Leeds? As a straightforward proposition, most neutrals would agree not. But it goes without saying the Swansea, currently, as a stable, well-run Premier League club are currently ‘bigger’, ie: higher up, richer, better marketed to a worldwide audience as part of the global commodity that is the Premier League. Similarly, any club currently in the Premier League or there very recently is likely to be richer than clubs that are not and have not been. United lead the way in income, earning £433m in revenues last season, ahead of City in second place then Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Southampton, Swansea, Stoke and Crystal Palace all make the top 15 clubs on this measure where again the likes of Wolves, Blackburn and Leeds are in the lower reaches of the top 30. | Manchester United are clear at the top of social media and money tables . They have almost 25 million more followers than the next club Chelsea . Manchester City, the Premier League champions, lag behind in fifth . United can also boast the highest income, ahead of City and Chelsea . Sportsmail's HOW BIG IS YOUR CLUB? Study finally settles great debate . |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | London's latest hipster restaurant serving different versions of just one type of food opened its doors today. And already customers have flocked to the trendy Porridge Cafe which specialises in 25 kinds of porridge made from 11 different grains and features sweet as well as savoury offerings. The brainchild of Nik Wiliamson and Elly Harrington, the founders of food truck business The Bow Street Kitchen, it's the latest place to turn a seemingly everyday food into a gourmet experience. Customer Holly Mac eating at the Porridge Cafe in Shoreditch, the first of its kind to open in London . Blueberry and apple compote rye porridge served with fresh blueberries, and pumpkin and sunflower seeds . Prices range from £2.35 for a bowl of basic porridge to £7 for the more hearty versions, with meat and vegetable toppings. But it does serve more than just plain bowlfuls of oats. A range of sweet offerings involve typical toppings such as apple, vanilla and hazelnut; strawberry, cinnamon and cranberry and raspberry, peach and almond - the savoury toppings veer towards the unusual. Made with spelt, arborio rice or grain buckwheat and quinoa, they feature slow-roasted chicken, leek and cream cheese; bacon, avocado and roasted tomato; and salami, pecorino and porcini mushroom. Mr Williamson said: 'Our basic porridge will match Pret's prices. 'Customers will be able to top their basic porridge with sugar, jams or honey for £2.35. A bowl of savoury porridge of slow cooked beef ragu, feta and basil will set you back £6.50 . Customer Victoria Jenkins eats a bowl of porridge at the Porridge Cafe . 'The healthy and sweet porridges, with fruits and seeds, start at £4 while the savoury risottos start at £5.50 for the vegetarian ones. 'The most expensive will be the ones with meat, with prices ranging from between £6 and £7.' The inspiration behind their latest venture came about when the duo were in Scandinavia. Mr Williamson said: 'We were in Copenhagen and we noticed there was a lot of great porridge. We tasted different grains – in Scandinavia they use rye, buckwheat, spelt, barley and quinoa to make their porridge. Grain buckwheat cooked with pomegranate juice and cardamom and served with orange slices, dates and dark chocolate shavings . ‘You would think we were sick of the stuff but the different varieties and incarnations are endless. 'We love how versatile it is and hope we can make people realise that porridge can be so much more than oats and water.’ High fibre, high protein and low GI, porridge has long been known as the perfect food as part of a balanced diet. ‘Eating porridge regularly can also help reduce stress due to the presence of magnesium in many grains,' Mr Williamson added. The partners discovered the huge amount of grains that are used to make porridge all over the world, along with the different methods to make it. They finally decided on 11 grains which they think ‘taste great’. A bowl of mushroom, lemon and fennel porridge (left). The cafe is the brainchild of Nik Williamson (pictured) who opened it with his business partner Elly Harrington . The term 'porridge' is used fairly loosely at Nik Williamson's new cafe in trendy east London . ‘All in all we've chosen 11 grains we think taste great and have some really great health benefits,' he said. ‘The recipes we've developed are sweet, healthy and savoury flavours.' The cafe will open on 2 March on Paul Street, near Old Street station, London, and will serve from 7am to 6pm daily with a daily changing menu. At weekends there will be a brunch menu featuring three savoury and two sweet choices. Initially a pop-up, if the concept proves to be a success, it will become a permanent fixture. 'Our hope is in we will see whether people like it in the initial month and if they will buy our porridge,' Mr Williamson said. 'If it's successful we may extend in the location for a few more months and we will probably widen the menu so there will be other dishes involved.' The Porridge Cafe follows on the heels of London's Cereal Killer and Belfast's Simply Crisp cafe. Just crisps: Businessman Andrew McMenamin opened Belfast's Simply Crispy in January 2015 . Alan and Gary Keery of The Cereal Killer Cafe in Brick Lane serve 120 cereals with 20 toppings and 12 milks . Belfast's Simply Crispy which opened earlier in January was the brainchild of businessman Andrew McMenamin who had planned to keep his pop-up going for just four weeks. But with diners queuing down the street to get their hands on the snacks, which have sold out every day, the cafe will now stay open until at least March, and could even expand to other shops in Northern Ireland, Dublin, or even London. 'We have managed to sell out every day - not the crisps though, the bread, the baps. We can't get our hands on enough fresh baps because everything flies out of the door,' Mr McMenamin said. In December 2014 self-confessed cereal obsessives Alan and Gary Keery launched the UK’s first cereal cafe featuring 120 cereals, 20 types of toppings and 12 varieties of milk. The identical twins’ establishment opened in Brick Lane, London and offers a menu of over 100 cereals from around the world. The duo came under fire when they first opened their cafe, for charging £3.20 for a bowl of cereal. | The Porridge Cafe serves 25 different kinds of the classic oat dish .

Generate a summary of the text | Two teachers who were arrested in January for allegedly having a beach sex party with five male students have been hit with new charges - including that they supplied cocaine to the minors. Melody Lippert, 38, and Michelle Ghirelli, 30, from the Los Angeles suburb of Covina, were both originally only charged with contributing to the delinquency of a minor over allegations that they gave booze to the students. On Monday, prosecutors hit them with a slew of new, much more serious, charges, KTLA-TV reports. Scroll down for video . Melody Lippert (left), 38, and Michelle Ghirelli (right), 30, both from Covina, were arrested in January. On Monday, they were hit with drug and sex abuse charges . 'The Covina-Valley Unified School District is shocked by the Orange County District Attorney's decision with regards to the charges filed. 'However, we recognize that the investigation is continuing and additional charges could be forthcoming,' spokesperson Michelle Van Der Linden said in a written statement. 'As teachers and administrators who work closely and in a trusted position with children, we hold ourselves to a higher standard. 'We are subject to the Education Code and our Board policies and as such, we will continue with our own investigation and have created our own draft statement of charges for dismissal, which will be delivered to both individuals.' Lippert, who allegedly organized the trip, was charged with unlawful sexual intercourse and furnishing a controlled substance to a minor, both felonies. Ghirelli now faces charges of unlawful sexual intercourse, furnishing a controlled substance to a minor and oral copulation of a minor, all of which are also felonies. Prosecutors had initially said there was not enough evidence to file sex abuse charges. Ghirelli's lawyer said the teacher intends to 'vigorously defend' against the charges, telling the Los Angeles Times: 'There's two sides to every story.' The teachers, from South Hills High School in Corona Valley, California, allegedly went on a camping trip to San Clemente Beach with five students from December 27 through 29. Lippert, who has taught as a teacher for the Covina-Valley Unified School District for 15 years, had previously met up with a group of male students from her high school at a beach in San Clemente last November, on a trip that was not school sponsored, according to KCAL-TV. In initial reports, Lippert had reportedly given the group alcohol and then engaged in a sexual act with one of the students, according to Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies. She then made plans to meet up with the students for a second liaison at the same spot, bringing along Ghirelli, who has been teaching for the district for five years. The pair then met up with five students of the same group on the non-school sponsored camping, spending a night on the beach.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)With the discovery of a gray, fossilized jawbone in a remote corner of Ethiopia, a student at Arizona State University may have changed our understanding of our earliest ancestors. The partial lower jaw is the oldest known fossil evidence of the genus Homo, to which modern day humans belong, according to a study published Wednesday in the journal Science. The jawbone has been dated to 2.8 million years ago -- which predates the previously known fossils of the Homo lineage by approximately 400,000 years, according to Arizona State University. Chalachew Seyoum, a graduate student from Ethiopia, came across the fossil -- the left side of a lower jaw with five teeth -- while on a field expedition in the Afar region of eastern Ethiopia in 2013. "Honestly, it was an exciting moment," Seyoum said, according to a news release from the university. "I had good experience in field surveying and knew where potential sediments are. I climbed up a little plateau and found this specimen right on the edge of the hill." The age of the fossil means it could help fill in an important gap in our knowledge. Fossil found by fisherman may reveal new type of ancient human . It also means the Homo genus could have evolved nearly half a million years earlier than previously thought. Researchers have previously found fossil remains dating back 3 million years or more, such as the skeleton of "Lucy," the famous 3.2 million-year-old remains of the species Australopithecus afarensis. Those remains were found in 1974 not far from the site of the latest discovery. Scientists have also found fossils that are 2.3 million years old and younger, which are in the genus Homo and are closer to modern day humans. But until now there has been little fossil evidence from the 700,000 years in between -- a crucial period in the evolution from hominids like Lucy to the Homo genus. "The importance of the specimen is that it adds a data point to a period of time in our ancestry in which we have very little information," said William H. Kimbel, director of ASU's Institute of Human Origins, in the university's news release. "This is a little piece of the puzzle that opens the door to new types of questions and field investigations that we can go after to try to find additional evidence to fill in this poorly known time period." The jawbone, found in the Ledi-Geraru area of the Afar region, combines features seen in Australopithecus afarensis with those seen in later specimens of the Homo genus, according to the study. Professor Kaye Reed, of Arizona State University, said the discovery was the result of years of searching in the area. Surveying began in 2002, she said, but researchers only began to pick up fossils in the area where the jawbone was found in 2012, having realized the sediments there were old enough to yield Australopithecus afarensis specimens. "Instead, we were rewarded with a much more exciting discovery," she said. Already the team has been able to establish that this early human ancestor walked on two legs and lived in a dry, arid climate, Reed said. Researchers are still working to determine what it ate and whether it used stone tools. "It's an excellent case of a transitional fossil in a critical time period in human evolution," said Kimbel.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, made news this week when he told CNN's Dana Bash that he would get his health care through Obamacare. Previously, Cruz's family was covered under his wife's policy through her employer, the investment bank Goldman Sachs. But with her husband's presidential candidacy underway, Heidi Cruz has taken a leave without pay. So she has lost her Goldman Sachs health benefits. The story went viral, in part because Cruz once engineered a partial government shutdown to try to kill Obamacare. As part of his crusade, Cruz conducted a 21-hour talkathon on the Senate floor, during which he read Dr. Seuss' classic "Green Eggs and Ham." Spoiler alert: "Green Eggs and Ham" ends with the protagonist actually trying the food he thought he hated -- and liking it. Now that Cruz is likely to try Obamacare, my guess is he will have a similar experience. So, with apologies to Dr. Seuss -- who would no doubt have found a way to rhyme "President Bar" with "Obamacare" -- here is my updated version of "Green Eggs and Ham."

Based on this passage about Ted Kennedy, at the time of his death, who were the three longest-serving senators of all time? | When Kennedy died in August 2009, he was the second-most senior member of the Senate (after President pro tempore Robert Byrd of West Virginia) and the third longest-serving senator of all time, behind Byrd and Strom Thurmond of South Carolina. Later that same year, he was passed by Daniel Inouye of Hawaii. Kennedy therefore held the record as the longest-serving Democratic member of Congress to solely serve as a senator until October 2021, when he was surpassed by fellow Democrat Patrick Leahy of Vermont. | Based on this passage, Robert Byrd, Strom Thurmond and Kennedy were the three longest-serving senators of all time. |
What was the Hundred Years War? | The Hundred Years' War (French: La guerre de Cent Ans; 1337–1453) was a series of armed conflicts between the kingdoms of England and France during the Late Middle Ages. It originated from disputed claims to the French throne between the English House of Plantagenet and the French royal House of Valois. Over time, the war grew into a broader power struggle involving factions from across Western Europe, fuelled by emerging nationalism on both sides. | The English and French fought numerous battles from the mid-14th century to the mid-15th century, hence the name, "Hundred Years War." The two sides made conflicting claims of sovereignty over land and people in an effort to be the dominant power in Western Europe, if not all of Europe. Engaging in warfare over this extended period of time resulted in a fairly rapid evolution of warfare and how countries conducted war. For example, standing armies for each country became a standard, a new development in the nationalism. |

Scudamore has also revealed a shot at the Grade One Celebration Chase at Sandown on April 25 is one of the options for Grand Annual Chase winner Next Sensation. Monbeg Dude, the gelding part owned by former England rugby union captain Mike Tindall and fellow international James Simpson-Daniel, was a never-dangerous 14th in the Ultima Business Solutions Handicap Chase under Paul Carberry. Trainer Michael Scudamore has given Monbeg Dude the green light to race at the Grand National . Scudamore has run a series of tests on the 10-year-old, who was seventh in last year’s National. With the results coming up negative, Scudamore believes the most likely reason for Monbeg Dude’s below par effort was his resentment of a tongue tie being fitted for the first time. The trainer said: ‘We were disappointed with his Cheltenham run but he has come back fine. There is no reason not to run at Aintree and the tongue tie will be left off. ‘We think maybe he did not enjoy running in it even though he has plenty of experience of it being fitted at home.’ Tom Scudamore celebrates winning the A.P.

Pakistan batted first at Eden Park and, after their innings was twice interrupted by rain, they lost their last five wickets for 25 runs to slump to 222 all out with a top score of 56 from Misbah-ul-Haq from their 46 overs. In reply, a score of 77 from 58 balls by AB de Villiers steadied the ship but South Africa failed to meet their victory target as they were bowled out for 202 after Mohammad Irfan, Rahat Ali and Wahab Riaz claimed three wickets apiece. The Pakistan team celebrate their 29-run victory over South Africa at the Cricket World Cup in New Zealand . Pakistan captain Mibah Ul-Haq (left) and team-mate Shahid Afridi smile as they leave the field . Pakistan openers Ahmed Shehzad and Sarfraz Ahmed had made a collective 30 when Shehzad was dismissed thanks to an exquisite catch from Dale Steyn off Kyle Abbott's bowling in the ninth over. The fast bowler, fielding at mid on, had to back-pedal considerably but made up enough ground before diving and snaffling a two-handed catch a mere inches from the ground. The Eden Park crowd roared excitedly when Sarfraz clubbed JP Duminy for successive sixes early in 16th over before adding a third maximum with the final ball of the over.

Skipper De Villiers brought himself into the attack and was celebrating in his third over when Younus, having looked extremely comfortable, tamely chipped to cover to depart for 37 in the 27th over. Sohaib Maqsood (eight) lasted just 15 balls before he clipped Abbott to point as Pakistan's innings stalled somewhat at 156 for four at the end of the 32nd over. Umar Akmal (13) was undone by the bounce of Morne Morkel, top-edging to mid-wicket, to restrict Pakistan for 175 for five before rain delayed play for half an hour or so.

Misbah collected his 42nd ODI half-century when play resumed before the players were forced from the field once again as the showers returned. The second interruption did Pakistan no favours as they lost their last five wickets for just 25 runs, crumbling from 195 for five in the 41st over to 222 all out in their allotted 47 overs. Shahid Afridi edged Dale Steyn to deep-backward square-leg to depart for 22 in the 42nd over and, three balls later, they were seven down when Riaz was pinned leg before by Imran Tahir.

Pakistan wicketkeeper Sarfraz picked up his and Pakistan's third dismissal in the very next over when Riaz forced Hashim Amla into a leading edge to depart for 38 from 27 deliveries. Riaz accounted for Rilee Rossouw (six) in the 13th over to leave South Africa four down with just 74 runs on the board and things went from bad to worse when they lost David Miller (nought) moments later.

Steyn lost his wicket for 16 as he became Irfan's third victim after scoring three fours from his 17 balls to leave his side needing 94 runs for victory. De Villiers celebrated his half-century after claiming his third maximum from 45 balls which also included four boundaries as he continued battling on with some big hits before Kyle Abbott (12) was caught by Younus at second slip off Ali as South Africa continued to collapse. Khan finally claimed the big wicket of De Villiers for 77 in the 33rd over after he was caught behind by Ahmed and Imran soon followed to leave his side with 202 and handing Pakistan a 29-run victory. | Pakistan recorded their third successive win, against South Africa .

Generate a summary of the text | Cristiano Ronaldo disappeared straight down the tunnel of the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday night while the rest of his team-mates went to the centre-circle to applaud supporters. It followed a strange night for the Real Madrid forward just seven days ahead of the Clasico. He failed to celebrate Gareth Bale’s opening goal because he was too busy lamenting his own misfortune at not scoring. Ronaldo failed to connect properly with a scissor kick from the edge of the area and when the ball was headed off the line Bale volleyed it into the top corner. Incredibly Ronaldo could be seen throwing his arms up in the air both before and after Bale converted the rebound. Cristiano Ronaldo cannot mask his frustration after striking the post with an early chance to put Real ahead . The World Player of the Year endured a difficult game, with his temper bubbling below the surface . It was a tough night for Ronaldo, who will need to improve in time for next week's Clasico . Gary Lineker tweeted: ‘Ronaldo's extraordinarily stroppy reaction to Bale scoring from a rebound from his effort was bizarre and unhealthy.’ Ronaldo was also frustrated when Bale scored his second goal getting the slightest of touches on a Ronaldo shot but enough to divert it past the Levante goalkeeper to wrap up the three points. He also missed a string of chances the day after he was overtaken by Leo Messi in La Liga’s list of top scorers for this season. Ahead of their meeting at the Nou Camp next week the Argentine has 32 goals – two more than Ronaldo. Ever since Ronaldo collected his third Balon D’or in January and announced to the world that he was ‘coming for’ Messi who has four Golden Ball awards, things have worked in reverse for the planet’s two finest players. Ronaldo nicks the ball past Levante's Ivan Lopez but he didn't stay behind at the end to applaud the fans . This acrobatic Ronaldo volley was headed off the line, before Bale fired in the rebound to make it 1-0 . VIDEO Bale was more motivated - Ancelotti . Messi was 12 goals behind Ronaldo last December but he has not been able to stop scoring since the turn of the year and Real Madrid’s Portuguese striker has dried up. ‘Cristiano was lively because he made the first goal and the second. He didn’t score but he contributed a lot,’ said Carlo Ancelotti after the game. Ronaldo hardly cracked a smile when celebrating with team-mate Dani Carvajal . The frustration was written all over Ronaldo's face as he leaned against the frame of the goal . And he didn't look a happy chappy sitting on the pitch during his side's La Liga victory . The Italian coach said he had no reason not to be positive ahead of next week’s Clasico and admitted: ‘Bale was more motivated than usual and the presence of [Luka] Modric helps him. They know each other very well from playing together at Tottenham.' He will need his talisman Ronaldo back in the right frame of mind before the game however.

Generate a summary of the text | Full-back Scott Grix made history with the quickest hat-trick from the start of a Super League match as Huddersfield made it three successive wins to climb up to fourth in the table. The Giants, who began the season with three straight defeats, never looked back after former Wakefield player Grix's three tries inside the first nine minutes helped put them 18-0 up and on their way to a fourth successive win at Belle Vue. Wakefield hit back to close the gap to four points early in the second half but further tries from two other Wakefield old boys, Danny Brough and Brett Ferres, plus others from Leroy Cudjoe and Ukuma Ta'ai, helped the visitors to a comfortable 44-14 victory. Scott Grix scored the quickest hat-trick from the start of a Super League match in Huddersfield's victory . It was a fourth straight defeat for the Wildcats, who had started the season with so much hope after gaining back-to-back wins, and drops them to the foot of the table. The match was memorable for Grix's early heroics but little else as both sides produced a string of errors to leave both coaches frustrated. The record for the fastest hat-trick of tries scored from the start of any match remains with Huddersfield's former player and current assistant coach Chris Thorman, who scored his within six minutes and 54 seconds of the Giants' National League Cup semi-final against Doncaster in 2002. Grix got his first after just 63 seconds after Brough had put second rower Ferres into a gap and finished off a flowing move for his second four minutes later. The 44-14 thrashing of Wakefield was Huddersfield's third win on the spin and moved them up to fourth . The former Wakefield full-back then gathered possession from Craig Hall's kick 20 metres from his own line and sprinted 80 metres for a glorious solo try to complete his treble. Brough kicked all three conversions to make it 18-0 but Wakefield, who gave debuts to centre Joe Arundel and forward George Griffin, gradually weathered the storm and scored two tries of their own in a nine-minute spell midway through the first half. Centre Dean Collis got the first after Huddersfield winger Aaron Murphy had made a hash of Tim Smith's high kick while veteran second rower Ali Lauititii proved impossible to tackle as he got skipper Danny Kirmond over. Hall was wide with both conversion attempts to leave the Wildcats trailing by 10 points, which is how it stayed until half-time despite both teams creating a host of chances. Wakefield's Dean Collis is tacked by Huddersfield Giants' Danny Brough (left) and Joe Wardle (right) Jack Hughes, drafted in at short notice when Chris Bailey pulled out of the Giants team for personal reasons and switched from second row to centre when winger Jermaine McGillvary went off with a shoulder injury on 17 minutes, was the biggest culprit, twice dropping the ball with the tryline beckoning. Brough regathered his own chip over the Wakefield defence but saw the final pass intercepted and prop Eorl Crabtree was held up over the line on his back while Wakefield forward Daniel Smith had a try chalked off for a forward pass. Wakefield winger Chris Riley was the next man to have a try disallowed early in the second half but there was no denying substitute Jordan Crowther when he was the first to reach the ball from Paul McShane's grubber kick. Hall's first goal cut the gap to just four points but Huddersfield were soon back in the ascendancy, with Ferres marking the 250th appearance of his career with their fourth try after taking Brough's short pass near the line. Brough kicked his sixth conversion before handing over the goalkicking duties to his half-back partner Jamie Ellis, who wrapped up the scoring with a penalty and conversion of Ta'ai's injury-time touchdown. | Scott Grix scored quickest hat-trick from start of Super League match .

Generate a summary of the text | Michael Carrick has credited the return to form which has seen him recalled to the England squad down to the influence of Manchester United manager Louis Van Gaal. The midfielder, hailed by Sir Alex Ferguson last year as the best English player in the game, has won countless club trophies but struggled for consistency at international level throughout his career. Now 33 years old, he is one of the oldest heads in Roy Hodgson’s squad and is a strong contender for a place at the bottom of the midfield diamond the England manager so often prefers to deploy. Michael Carrick is happy to be back in the England squad and has credited his return to Louis van Gaal . Carrick had particular praise for the Manchester United manager's aura and straightforward nature . ‘Van Gaal has improved me,’ Carrick said. ‘Certain situations in games, he's helped, not just individually but as a unit, as a defensive unit, as a group of players. I've definitely learnt from him. ‘He's been great from the start for me. I couldn't ask for any more from him in terms of what he's given me, and the support and confidence to be a big part of the team. ‘A lot of people at the top of their field, whether it's business or sport, tend to have that aura, and he's certainly got that belief and clarity in what he wants and what he expects from players. 'He's really straightforward and honest. ‘What you guys see when he speaks publicly, he's exactly the same with us. He's straight down the line and honest and says it exactly as it is.’ Van Gaal puts an arm around Carrick after they helped United to victory against Liverpool at Anfield . Carrick says he couldn't ask for any more from Van Gaal in terms of support and confidence he has given . Carrick is still yearning to improve his game further, despite moving into the twilight of his career, and tries to learn from the very best in his role. ‘You can look at a few – Andrea Pirlo, Xabi Alonso, Sergio Busquets,’ he said. ‘Busquets probably doesn’t get enough credit for what he brings to Barcelona. There’re a few out there. ‘I thought Marco Verratti and Thiago Motta for Paris Saint-Germain against Chelsea were terrific, especially when they went down to 10 men. I like watching and still trying to learn from others.’ Carrick has also gained his footballing education alongside one of the midfield masters in Paul Scholes, and their former United team-mate and England coach Gary Neville compared the pair to ‘going into a bar and hearing a piano playing’ due to the calm they brought to the midfield together. Andrea Pirlo was the first name mentioned by Carrick in terms of midfielders around Europe he looks up to . Xabi Alonso (right) was also mentioned, as well as Sergio Busquets in midfielder for Barcelona .

Playing alongside Scholesy I learned so much. He’d take the ball anywhere, he’d put his foot on the ball and try to have influence on the game. ‘It is a lot about your personality, as a person, as a player, that is how I am really, quite quiet and understated, it suits me.’ Gary Neville (centre) compared Carrick's calmness to ‘going into a bar and hearing a piano playing’ Carrick has become a key part of United's side as they look to secure a place in the Premier League top four . In the absence of Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard, England’s midfield is crying out for an experienced head in the middle and Carrick, if he can stay injury free, is eyeing Euro 2016 as his tournament. ’That’s definitely what I’m striving towards,’ he added. ‘I’ d love to have another real crack at it.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | It was a night to forget for Manchester United as Arsenal advanced to the FA Cup semi-final and out-of-sorts winger Angel di Maria was sent off for pulling at referee Michael Oliver's shirt. Despite Wayne Rooney levelling with his head after Nacho Monreal's opener, the night belonged to former United striker Danny Welbeck, who sealed the Gunners' victory with a beautifully composed finish. Here, Sportsmail's Neil Ashton rates every player's performance at Old Trafford. Arsenal's Danny Welbeck emphatically celebrates his goal, which went on to be the winner against his old club . MANCHESTER UNITED (4-1-4-1) David De Gea: No chance with Monreal finish. Exposed brutally by Valencia when Welbeck raced through to score. Pulled off a couple of world class saves towards the end. 7.5 . Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea had a solid game but was exposed for Arsenal's second goal .

Has taken it upon himself to marshall back four. 6.5 . Marcos Rojo: Rock solid. Is he turning into United’s best defender? Granted, not a great deal of competition, but he is playing well. 7 . Despite the loss Marcos Rojo was one of United's top performers with some solid defending . Luke Shaw: At the mercy of van Gaal’s half-time tactical switch. Was neither good nor bad. Seemed a bit unfortunate to be hooked. 6.5 . Daley Blind: Hard to work out exactly what Van Gaal is asking him to do in there. Just seems to spend the entire game chasing after the ball. 6 . Angel di Maria: Has clearly gone mentally - should not be playing. Booked for foul, stupid to tug referee’s shirt. Went to sleep when Monreal made his run down the left in build up to Arsenal goal. Sweet cross for Rooney equaliser. 4 . United winger Angel di Maria tugs at Michael Oliver's shirt before seeing red at Old Trafford on Monday night . Di Maria trudges off the pitch after being sent off for his stupid reaction . Ander Herrera: Finally booked in 38th minute - amazing Michael Oliver took so long. Speed of game took him by surprise.

Marouane Fellaini (right) tussles for the ball with Arsenal's dogged midfielder Francis Coquelin (left) Ashley Young: Hugged the touchline, but United should have got him on the ball more. Has legs to stretch defences. 6.5 . Wayne Rooney: Love affair with scoring in the FA Cup continues. Now has to find a way to win it. Breathtaking take down just before half time from Fellaini chip. 7 . Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney heads home the equaliser against Arsenal at Old Trafford . SUBSTITUTES: . Phil Jones (Shaw 46): Didn’t know whether to stay or go when Ozil or Welbeck dropped off. 6 . Michael Carrick (Herrera 46): Usual nice touches in midfield. 6.5 .

Di Maria makes the long walk towards the Old Trafford tunnel after being sent off . ARSENAL (4-2-3-1): . Wojciech Szczesny: Very little to do apart from Rooney’s goal, which he had no chance of doing anything to stop. 7 . Hector Bellerin: Early booking, cleaned out Young. Disciplinary tight-rope after that trying to stop the United winger 7 . Per Mertesacker: Left Koscielny exposed when Rooney scored, just seemed to switch off. Improved as game progressed. 7 . Per Mertesacker (right) and Laurent Koscielny allowed Rooney the space to head home United's equaliser .

Santi Cazorla: Switched roles when Ramsey came on, playing in a more advanced position. 7 . Alex Oxlade-Chamberlin: Lovely, jinking run for the opening goal. Arsenal’s best player until he pinged left hamstring. 7.5 . Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is floored after seemingly pulling his hamstring in the second half . Mesut Ozil: Clever pass into the feet of Oxlade-Chamberlain in move for Arsenal goal. Lovely lob wedge into Welbeck for penalty appeal. 7.5 .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A watchdog has cleared officers over the case of a four-year-old boy starved to death by his alcoholic mother, despite years of police contact with the family. Hamzah Khan's decomposed body was found in a cot at his filthy home in Bradford in 2011, almost two years after he had died. The family, including his mother Amanda Hutton, 43, had extensive contact with police over a number of years, but today the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) found that Hamzah's death was not something West Yorkshire Police 'could have reasonably been expected to predict or prevent', the police watchdog has found. A watchdog has cleared West Yorkshire Police over the case of four-year-old Hamzah Khan (pictured), who was starved to death by his alcoholic mother despite years of police contact with the family . Mother-of-eight Hutton was jailed for 15 years in 2013 after she was found guilty of Hamzah's manslaughter and neglecting five of her other children. At her trial it emerged that a range of agencies, including police officers, had contact with her family because she was a victim of repeated domestic violence, but no one spotted the danger the children were in. The IPCC had launched an investigation into West Yorkshire Police’s handling of concerns raised about Hamzah’s welfare, the results of which were announced today. In a statement, the watchdog said: 'The IPCC investigation concluded that Hamzah's death was not something West Yorkshire Police could have reasonably been expected to predict or prevent, and that it was the actions of a PCSO who made repeated and concerted attempts to speak to Ms Hutton that led to the discovery of Hamzah's body.' Mother-of-eight Amanda Hutton (pictured) was jailed for 15 years in 2013 after she was found guilty of Hamzah's manslaughter and neglecting five of her other children . The commission said there had been no misconduct by officers but did criticise the force for not referring itself to the IPCC at the time the body was discovered. It said the fact it was not referred 'hindered the IPCC in its obligation to carry out a prompt and effective independent investigation into West Yorkshire Police's contact with the family'. IPCC commissioner Cindy Butts said: 'There was a clear public interest in enabling the Independent Police Complaints Commission to scrutinise the actions of West Yorkshire Police officers after the discovery of Hamzah's body in 2011. 'The fact that this was not reported to the IPCC until after a serious case review had been completed in 2013 meant that that process was completed without any independent scrutiny of police action.' Hutton's trial heard how Hamzah's father, Aftab Khan, raised concerns with officers after he was arrested for attacking Hutton but detectives told the court these were investigated and no problems were found. Today, the IPCC said two officers chose not to make a referral to social services after specific allegations of neglect were made during this interview in December 2008. But it said in its statement: 'The IPCC found that a number of referrals had already been made, one of which was made only five days before the interview with Mr Khan. A further referral to social services could have been made but there was no requirement for the officers to do so.' A serious case review in Hamzah's case concluded that he was 'invisible for almost a lifetime'. But that review was criticised at its publication by children's minister Edward Timpson, who expressed 'deep concerns', saying it failed to fully explain 'missed opportunities to protect children in the house'. The minister wrote to Professor Nick Frost, who chairs the Bradford Safeguarding Children Board, saying: 'I have deep concerns over the Hamzah Khan serious case review. The child's body was found in what police said were 'breathtakingly awful' conditions in a bedroom at Hutton's house in Bradford, while the kitchen was also filled with rubbish . The living room of Hutton's home was covered in old takeaway boxes, bottles and plastic bags . 'In particular, I am concerned that it fails to explain sufficiently clearly the actions taken or not taken by children's social care when problems in the Khan family were brought to their attention on a number of occasions.' Alcoholic Hutton was living in what the report described as 'breathtakingly awful' conditions with five of her children as well as Hamzah's mummified remains when police entered her four-bedroom house in September 2011. A jury at Bradford Crown Court found she had allowed Hamzah to starve to death in December 2009 and left his body in a cot with a teddy. The remains were only discovered due to a rookie police community support officer's tenacious pursuit of a minor anti-social behaviour complaint because she knew something was wrong. The family was known to all the main agencies, partly due to a long history of violence Hutton suffered at the hands of Khan. But Hutton failed to co-operate with many children's services and the SCR found that Hamzah slipped below the radar and was invisible. Ms Butts said today: 'Nothing could have reasonably been done by West Yorkshire Police to predict or prevent this horrendous case of child neglect. In fact, it was the tenacity of one of its officers that led to the eventual discovery of his body.' | Hamzah Khan's decomposed body found in cot two years after his death .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | The English don’t actually care much for music,’ said Sir Thomas Beecham, the great 20th-century conductor and noted wit, ‘but they love the sound it makes!’ This week the sound that has filled our concert halls and all the spaces where music-lovers gather has been of loud cheering. When it was announced on Tuesday that Sir Simon Rattle will be coming home from Germany in 2017 to run the London Symphony Orchestra, whoops of delight could be heard all the way from London’s Barbican Centre, where the LSO play, to Menlove Avenue,Woolton, the middle-class suburb of Liverpool where Rattle was born 60 years ago. The most remarkable English classical musician since the celebrated Beecham, Rattle has scaled the highest peaks. Appointed CBE at the ripe old age of 32, he was knighted seven years later, and elected principal conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic, the world’s most formidable orchestra, at 44. Conductor Sir Simon Rattle is to join London Symphony Orchestra as music director . In an age of overpaid footballers and gruesome shows like The X Factor, an age when the mediocre wear garlands tossed by dullards, here is a man who has truly earned his laurel crown. When he received the weighty badge of the Order of Merit last summer (‘Don’t try conducting with this thing on!’ the Queen told him at the investiture) it was formal recognition that he belonged to the best of the best. Now the man who conquered the world is coming home to join our leading orchestra and, what’s more, he sees his role not just as a conductor but as an ambassador, an educator, whose duty is to boost musical talent wherever he can. ‘Frankly,’ he says, ‘what goes on in the primary school is going to be just as important as what goes on in any concert hall.’ Knowing Rattle as I do, this was no throw-away remark. Talk of greatness is usually misplaced. There are never many truly great performers in any field. So when they do come along it is our duty to recognise the special gifts that lift them above the pack. We could call it the Federer distinction. Roger Federer is a great tennis player, perhaps the greatest; Andy Murray is merely very good. In the performing arts it can be difficult to describe what greatness looks like because, unlike in sport, there are no clear winners and losers. Over time, however, you have a sense of those who achieve it. Laurence Olivier, for instance, was a great actor. Rudolf Nureyev was a great dancer. Frank Sinatra was a great singer. And Sir Simon Rattle is unquestionably a great musician. Born on the same road in Liverpool as John Lennon, Rattle was at primary school when The Beatles took off like a rocket. No magical mystery tours for him, though. The Rattler, as he is known, was a bookish child, who played the piano and was later a percussionist in the National Youth Orchestra. ‘I tried to interest him in cricket and football’, said his father Denis, ‘but he always seemed to have his head in a music score.’ Sir Simon (right), whose youngest child with Czech mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená (left), 41, is seven months old, has directed the Berlin Philharmonic since 2002 . Denis Rattle, originally from Kent, was a businessman who taught English in his retirement. At Oxford University, where he knew Sir Edward Heath, he had played in a jazz band, so he did nothing to discourage his son’s enthusiasm for music. When Denis and Pauline Rattle took their son to see the comedian Al Read at the Liverpool Empire, the five-year-old stopped the show. So many members of the audience were amused by the sight of a curious little boy leaving his seat to peer into the orchestra pit that Read had to tell him: ‘Come on, lad. I’ve got a show to do!’ The young Rattle never set foot in Liverpool’s football ground Anfield or Everton’s Goodison Park as his father might have wished but he was a regular at the city’s wonderful Philharmonic Hall where, in 1966, his life changed for ever. Gustav Mahler’s mighty Second Symphony, the Resurrection, despite its challenging discords, made him realise even then, aged 11, that he wanted to be a conductor. And now he was determined to learn how. He studied music scores his sister brought home from the library; he pored over composers’ writings on orchestration. He would write down the percussion parts of big orchestral pieces, gather friends and family, and hand out those parts so he could conduct his impromptu orchestra while a record of the music played in the background. When he was 15, he cajoled enough musicians together to form a proper orchestra and stage a charity event at Liverpool’s College Hall. It was a resounding success. Rattle’s days as conductor of the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra are the stuff of legend. When he went there aged 25 in 1980 he was, musically speaking, barely out of short pants and the orchestra was at best lacklustre. When he left 18 years later as a knight of the realm, the CBSO was acclaimed as one of the world’s finest orchestras, and had a magnificent new home. Symphony Hall, which opened in June 1991 as a result of Rattle’s persistence and enlightened cross-party political co-operation, remains the best concert hall in Britain. So when people talk about the cultural development of Birmingham, and Rattle’s substantial part in it, they are not fibbing. The question is: what can he do for London and Britain? The signs are promising. There is a clear will to build a concert hall worthy of London’s unrivalled reputation as a city of culture and Rattle knows, for he is no fool, that his appointment can only assist the process. In the City they are no fools either. Everybody understands that, with Rattle at the helm of such a fine orchestra, the LSO could become world-beaters not only in public performances but also in the world of music education. Rattle sees his role not just as a conductor but as an ambassador, an educator, whose duty is to boost musical talent wherever he can . Rattle once described how moving it was to bring deaf children into rehearsals in Birmingham, and see how they responded through vibration alone to the experience of a Beethoven symphony. In Berlin he wasted no time in working with children from the city’s less well-off backgrounds, involving them in dance collaborations with the Berlin Philharmonic. Some musicians, brought up in the old school, were sceptical but not for long. ‘What Simon wants’, musicians used to say, ‘Simon gets’. Which is why his return to London is so thrilling, and so important. In a world of show-offs and halfwits, here is a man with the faith and willpower to move mountains: not on his own behalf but for an art form itself. He believes that great music can transform lives. Describing Leonard Bernstein, the great American conductor and educator, who wrote West Side Story in his spare time, a musician once said: ‘Lenny reminds you why you wanted to become a musician in the first place.’ That is Rattle’s talent too but how he achieves it is hard to pin down. It is the conductor who makes all the difference as to whether a performance sinks or swims. What you see as he steps on to the podium, is the tip of a vast iceberg of activity involving planning, preparing, rehearsing, managing schedules and endless background work to understand the music. This is what helps make Simon Rattle one of the world’s greatest, says his biographer Sir Nicholas Kenyon: ‘He is a meticulous planner, has a fantastic insight for the right combination of pieces in a concert programme and is a brilliant pacer and galvaniser of rehearsals, knowing exactly what he has to achieve and motivating his players accordingly.’ But it still fails to explain his achievements. When his performances take off, musicians and audiences alike would rather be nowhere else. It isn’t so much a matter of his technique with the conductor’s baton, or bringing in the trombones when they’re feeling left out as something undefinable. In 1999, a critic memorably described him on the podium: ‘Sometimes he bent to his knees, puffed his cheeks and mimed a straw-chewing yokel to encourage a proportionate rustic attitude in his players. That was especially during Beethoven’s “Pastoral” Symphony...During the pizzicato interlude in Mahler’s Second Symphony, he dropped his hands to his sides and encouraged his band just to pluck ’n’ swing.’ What audiences see in Rattle is a man who feels that, for as long as he is conducting it, that piece is the most important thing in the world. Musicians, hardly sentimental, are happy to follow him because every concert is an adventure. As Rattle says: ‘Always the journey, never the destination’. His genius, as it always will be with the greats, is that he possesses an alignment of mind and heart that cannot be taught. ‘Simon can achieve things in a performance,’ a Berlin musician said last week, ‘that can never be learnt.’ Now he is coming home for what he calls ‘one last challenge’. To which we can only cry: ‘Hurrah!’ | Sir Simon Rattle to join the London Symphony Orchestra as music director . 60-year-old was born on the same road in Liverpool as John Lennon .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | After a blistering start, England were forced to work for their win against Scotland, which took them level on points with Ireland and Wales at the top of the Six Nations championship table. Jonathan Joseph had Stuart Lancaster's side ahead inside five minutes, but Scotland fought back and forced a thrilling finale. Sportsmail's Chris Foy was there to run the rule over the two teams: . Courtney Lawes gets up above Jonny Gray to secure line-out ball for England in a hard-fought battle . ENGLAND . Mike Brown – Ominous when he dropped first high kick but settled well and posed a threat whenever he had the ball. 7. Anthony Watson – A game of near-triumph for him, but he scored a ‘try’ which was ruled out, as was another he helped set up. 7. Mike Brown takes on Finn Russell as the England full back looked to create opportunities . Jonathan Joseph – Took his try with typical, swerving aplomb, to showcase his nifty footwork. Held up well in defence. 7. Luther Burrell – Squandered glorious early scoring chance. Forceful as ever, but not igniting this campaign as he did last year. 6. Jack Nowell – Exeter wing was electric with his broken-field running. Some suspect decision-making but good finish for try. 7. Jonathan Joseph dives over to score England's early try, which looked to have set them on their way . George Ford – His authority grows. Created openings with distribution and pace, and scored a try. All was well until late missed kicks. 8. Ben Youngs – Was a livewire threat early on and continued to test the Scottish defence with his darts around the fringes. 7. Joe Marler – Deft handling in run-up to Ford try, put in familiar busy shift in defence and was at the heart of set-piece onslaught. 7. George Ford dives over the line for his try in a game where he contributed 15 points and controlled the play . Dylan Hartley – This was a fast-and-loose encounter, so his work in the tight was most felt with his part in a first-half scrum blitz. 6. Dan Cole – The Leicester tighthead is quite content to win scrums and hit rucks, in which case he was in his element here. 7. Dave Attwood – Not as prominent as he was in Dublin, when his defensive work was so valuable and not among top carriers. 6. Dave Attwood gets the ball away out of the tackle as England in another good display from the second row . Courtney Lawes – Largely effective in the way he orchestrated the lineout and a dynamic, punishing presence around the field. 7. James Haskell – Made his fair share of tackles but no major carrying or breakdown impact. His place may be under threat. 6. Billy Vunipola – Determination to impose himself was clear from sheer number of times he pounded the Scottish defence. 7. Billy Vunipola goes on one of his characteristic runs as he offers England some momentum . Chris Robshaw – Not a towering presence before the break, but more influential later, especially as a link-man in attacks. 7. Replacements: Tom Youngs exploded from the bench to provide impetus and fellow front-rower, Kieran Brookes, was involved in the build-up to Nowell’s try and Tom Wood made one strong late burst. Chris Robshaw needs two Scottish tacklers to bring him down as he led England to a Calcutta Cup victory . SCOTLAND . Stuart Hogg – Did well to chase back and prevent a try by Brown. Frustrated by restricted chances and threw some wild passes. 6. Dougie Fife – Had a couple of jinking bursts but largely well shackled. Covered effectively when Watson threatened in second half. 5. Stuart Hogg goes low to bring down Jack Nowell but Scotland couldn't hold out for long . Mark Bennett – Kept his head when the chance came; ignoring men outside to touch down. Largely occupied with tackling. 7. Matt Scott – Was an emergency replacement for Alex Dunbar and this wasn’t a day for him to prove his creative credentials. 5. Tommy Seymour – A regular threat. He came in-field looking for work and often found gaps. Kept choosing clever lines. 7. Finn Russell – Was all at sea in the first quarter but grew into the game. Some shrewd touches but also some glaring lapses. 6. Finn Russell looks for territory as the Scots struggled to get good field position to make a late charge . Greig Laidlaw – Behind a beaten pack, he struggled to control proceedings and didn’t challenge England with box-kicks. 6. Alasdair Dickinson – The prop was damned by association with a scrum effort which was hapless as England took command. 5. Ross Ford – He has had far more commanding outings than this, as he failed to make many dents in a pack on the back foot. 5. Euan Murray – After early tussle with Dan Cole, was left flailing as George Ford scored his try and couldn’t prevent scrum rout. 5. Greig Laidlaw kicks clear as Courtney Lawes attempts to get through two Scottish forwards to charge down . Jim Hamilton – It wasn’t his day. Took a blow to the head that led to an early exit and not the usual snarling menace. 5. Jonny Gray – Nearly touched down when the Scots finally gained a foothold. Couldn’t disrupt English supply at the lineout. 6. Rob Harley – Had a hand in the try scored by Bennett but against the big, strong home forwards he was a lightweight presence. 5. David Denton – Last year, he was almost a lone threat to England and this time he again fought the good fight in vain. 7. Jonny Gray carries the ball as Scotland fought back from a poor start to make a game of it . Blair Cowan – Aside from one slick aerial off-load to send Seymour hurtling clear, he was a low-profile figure in this game. 5. Replacements: The lack of Scottish depth was harshly exposed. None of them sent on from the bench by Vern Cotter could do anything to turn the tide against their team. | England create countless chances but made to work hard for win .

Who was John Moses Browning? | John Moses Browning (January 23, 1855 – November 26, 1926) was an American firearm designer who developed many varieties of military and civilian firearms, cartridges, and gun mechanisms – many of which are still in use around the world. He made his first firearm at age 13 in his father's gun shop and was awarded the first of his 128 firearm patents on October 7, 1879, at the age of 24. He is regarded as one of the most successful firearms designers of the 19th and 20th centuries and pioneered the development of modern repeating, semi-automatic, and automatic firearms.
Browning influenced nearly all categories of firearms design, especially the autoloading of ammunition. He invented, or made significant improvements to, single-shot, lever-action, and pump-action rifles and shotguns. He developed the first reliable and compact autoloading pistols by inventing the telescoping bolt, then integrating the bolt and barrel shroud into what is known as the pistol slide. Browning's telescoping bolt design is now found on nearly every modern semi-automatic pistol, as well as several modern fully automatic weapons. He also developed the first gas-operated firearm, the Colt–Browning Model 1895 machine gun – a system that surpassed mechanical recoil operation to become the standard for most high-power self-loading firearm designs worldwide. He also made significant contributions to automatic cannon development.
Browning's most successful designs include the M1911 pistol, the water-cooled M1917, the air-cooled M1919, and heavy M2 machine guns, the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle, and the Browning Auto-5 – the first semi-automatic shotgun. Some of these arms are still manufactured, often with only minor changes in detail and cosmetics to those assembled by Browning or his licensees. The Browning-designed M1911 and Hi-Power are some of the most copied firearms in the world. | John Moses Browning is one of the most well-known designer of modern firearms. He started building firearms in his father's shop at the age of 13, and was awarded his first patent when he was 24.
He designed the first reliable automatic pistol, and the first gas-operated firearm, as well inventing or improving single-shot, lever-action, and pump-action rifles and shotguns.
Today, he is most well-known for the M1911 pistol, the Browning Automatic Rifle, and the Auto-5 shotgun, all of which are in still in current production in either their original design, or with minor changes. His M1911 and Hi-Power pistols designs are some of the most reproduced firearms in the world today. |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)How do Republicans try to breathe new life into an old scandal? We've seen it time and time again. Here's how it works: . Step One: Republicans, with nothing in their arsenal to use against Hillary Clinton, selectively leak to reporters a "scandalous" tidbit -- often one that has been previously reported. Step Two: The new media bites. Step Three: The media hyperventilates and suffocates the airwaves with repetition of the same story. Step Four: Upon further examination, the story falls apart. This is exactly how the latest media hype, this time over Hillary Clinton's use of emails at the State Department, has played out. And it presents yet another chapter in the Benghazi hoax. The New York Times story about Hillary Clinton's use of a private email account at the State Department is a perfect example of "gotcha" journalism, where reporters will take any bait the Republicans give them without proper vetting. The New York Times has a history of this. (Whitewater, anyone?) The Times story suggests Secretary Clinton broke federal rules in relation to her email. But the Times' main source for this allegation says Clinton violated no laws. Yes, Clinton used a private email account to communicate while she was secretary of state. But so did secretaries of state before her. According to the State Department spokesman Marie Harf, John Kerry is the first secretary of state ever to rely primarily on official State Department email. Clinton asks State to release emails: What you need to know . In October 2014, 18 months after Clinton left, the State Department was engaged in the process of updating its records preservation policies. The State Department asked every secretary of state dating back to Madeleine Albright to provide records, including emails, from their time in office. Clinton responded to the State Department's request for emails, providing the department with over 55,000 pages of emails. She did so months ago. Clinton has been fully transparent and has asked the State Department for these emails to be made public. Republican investigators seeking to hype the current Benghazi investigation leaked the issue to keep a dying investigation alive. And once again, reporters bit. In the days since The New York Times posted its story, there have been dozens and dozens of stories written on the topic. Why? Because the Clintons are held to a double standard when it comes to media scrutiny. Their perfectly usual, above board behavior is spun as secretive and unaccountable -- while Republicans are left relatively unscathed. Mitt Romney used his private email account to discuss political business, and when he left the governor's office, his administration destroyed records rather than turn them over to state archives. Scott Walker's County Executive's office used a secret email system, which investigators determined was being used to engage in campaign work on county time and to avoid public records disclosure laws. Mike Huckabee's office had files, including emails, cleaned and physically destroyed, including "travel records, calendars, call logs, and emails." Why hasn't their behavior been scrutinized over and over again? Because their last name isn't Clinton. In the end, all we are left with is the benign fact that Hillary Clinton used a personal email account at the State Department. This isn't even a revelation -- it has been known for years. Looks like the Republicans wasted their breath, once again, for nothing. | David Brock: The story is another example of GOP efforts to create a phony controversy . Hillary Clinton's email practices didn't break the law, he says . |

People's Daily reported that town planners in Chenzhou, a city of around 4.6 million people in southern China, built three sets of zebra lines which lead to a triangle-shaped traffic island planted with palms trees and a hedge. Ridiculed by Chinese online users, Chenzhou authorities said they would revamp the design. Tree-point turn: Anyone trying to cross the intersection in Chenzhou is advised to take some shears . Local residents joked that in order to get to the other side of the road they have to risk their life by walking around the island, or, better yet, fly past like ninjas.

Wheel of Fortune: The locals have an auspicious nickname for the intersection, but they have to risking their lives walking around it every day . 'Normally zebra crossings are supposed to bring convenience to the pedestrians and make sure that pedestrians are safe,' said the spokesman.

Generate a summary of the text | A fraud gang duped investors into buying diamonds for twenty times their value before using the £1.5m profit to fund lavish shopping sprees in Selfridges, Louis Vuitton and Harrods, a court has heard. Victims were allegedly lured into the 'boiler room' scam by 'persistent and persuasive' salesmen who told them the limited coloured stones would pay handsome returns because they were from mines which were closed or closing. But those involved had allegedly valued the yellow diamonds at more than 2000 per cent their worth, Southwark Crown Court heard. Rommell Brown, 31, (left) and Anna Foord, 20, (right) are among the two defendants accused of orchestrating a 'boiler room' scam by allegedly persuading investors to buy coloured diamonds at twenty times their value . The bank accounts for the two companies through which the sales were made were also haemorrhaging cash on luxury goods, the court heard. More than £2,000 was splurged in Hugo Boss, while £2,100 was spent in Louis Vuitton. It also showed that £7,685 was spent in Selfridges and £1,240 in exclusive department store Harrods. Nearly £3,000 was blown in a New York department store in a single day, the court heard. Rommell Brown, 31, Billy Cosma, 23, Anna Foord, 30, Anton Howell, 28, and Farouq Eshpari, 55, all from London or the south east, are standing trial but deny conspiracy to defraud. Farouq’s sons Omar Eshpari, 34, and Hider Esphari, 28, have admitted conspiracy to defraud while wife Safia Eshpari, 52, admitted concealing, disguising and removing criminal property. Prosecutor Esther Schutzer-Weissman said investors racked up £1.5m losses after paying for precious gems through Evolution Commodities Limited and Stonehouse Global Markets Limited. She told the jury: ‘It was a stone to be used as an asset for investment. The caller was persuasive, the caller was persistent and always suggesting to the investor that purchasing coloured diamonds was an investment that would get good and reliable returns. ‘They were told often that diamonds would be scarcer and rarer and therefore more valuable because a mine, or mines, were closing or had closed. Billy Cosma, 23 (left) is also accused of conspiracy to defraud. Hider Esphari, 28 (right) admitted the charge at Southwark Crown Court . ‘They were told this was a limited time opportunity and they were told that the investment was guaranteed to provide a good return, depending of course on how long the diamond was kept before selling on. ‘Calls would be followed by letters that provided more concrete information about the investment prospect of the stones.’ She told the court how a certificate was sent for each purchased diamond, giving details of clarity and cut. But, crucially, the certificate did not include the value, the court heard. Many clients also took up the offer of free storage from the company, said Ms Schutzer-Weissman. The bank accounts for the companies showed more than £1,240 was spent in exclusive London department store Harrods (pictured) The court was told how one investor allegedly duped the by scam was telephoned by Hider Eshpari. Using an alias, he told him it was an ‘exciting market for coloured diamonds’ and offered to send him a brochure. A short time later, he received more phone calls from Evolution telling him there was fantastic potential for investment and that a mine was closing in Australia, it is alleged. The client visited the company offices in August 2011 and agreed to buy a round brilliant orange brown diamond weighing 0.28 carats. He paid £5,550 for the stone after finding out it was one of the last they had in stock, jurors heard. Later that month he visited again and purchased an orange yellow diamond weighing 0.31 carats for £14,450. Hider Eshpari told him its worth would rocket at Chinese New Year when demand for the diamonds increased. More than £2,000 was splurged in Hugo Boss, while £7,685 was spent in Selfridges (pictured) But the first gem was worth only £270 and the second just £440. Ms Schutzer-Weissman said: ‘Those figures are not disputed - when I said there was a big mark up, those are the types of mark up we are thinking about. ‘It is agreed the diamonds sold by Evolution are worth far less than they were sold for.’ She added: ‘You may think that the business was being run as a cash cow for these defendants. ‘These defendants were aware that the benefits they receives were not as a result of business acumen but as a result of intentional and persistent fraud.' Brown, 39, from Edmonton, north London and Howell, 26, from Chigwell, Essex, both deny two charges of conspiracy to defraud. Cosma, from Buckhurst Hill, Essex denies a single charge of conspiracy to defraud. Foord, from Elstree, Hertfordshire, denies two charges of conspiracy to defraud and a further charge of money laundering. Farouq Eshpari, from Enfield, Middlesex, also denies a charge of money laundering.

For four years, mother-of-three Lisa Pigram went back and forth to her GP, complaining of wheeziness and occasional sharp pains in her shoulder and chest. Sometimes, she felt as though she was struggling to breathe, or that she was coming down with the flu. Yet she was 'just pooh-poohed' by doctors, says Lisa, 42, who lives in Essex with her husband and has three children, aged 22, 13 and eight. She was not sent for tests, and one doctor even insinuated that it was all in her mind and she was just 'a bit sensitive'. It was after she coughed up blood on holiday in 2004 - and still the doctor told her to wait and see if it got worse - that she decided to use her private medical insurance. Lisa, a teaching assistant, saw a specialist, who inserted a tube with a camera into her lungs and found a growth in her airways. She had a grape-sized bronchial carcinoid tumour - the same condition that the BBC's political editor Nick Robinson announced he had this weekend. The news came as a shock. Like Robinson, Lisa, 42, had never smoked - and no one could explain why she had developed it. She was told the tumour was essentially 'benign' and that if they removed it surgically, that would be the end of it. So, in May 2005, she had a section of her top lung cut out. Nick Robinson, 51, followed up the announcement of his cancer with typical good humour: . 'Timing lousy. Prognosis good,' he quipped. Indeed, the prognosis for most people with his form of cancer is very good if the tumour is caught early and surgically removed. Bronchial carcinoid tumours are a form of cancer known as neuroendocrine tumours. These form on the endocrine system, a network of glands and cells throughout the body that produces hormones. They can be found elsewhere in the body, mainly the intestines, the pancreas and the appendix - 10 to 20 per cent occur in the lungs. Every year, 3,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumour. 'It is far less aggressive than many other cancers and even people with an advanced form can live for decades - Steve Jobs had a pancreatic form and lived for a long time with it,' says Neil Pearce, a surgeon who leads the team treating neuroendocrine tumours at University Hospital, Southampton. Jobs, the Apple boss, was diagnosed in 2003 and died in 2011. The news came as a shock for both BBC journalist Nick Robinson (pictured) and Lisa - as neither of them had ever smoked . The difference between typical lung cancer and bronchial carcinoid is that the former occurs within the main cells of the lung; bronchoid carcinoids occur in the neuroendocrine cells dotted around the lining of the main airways. Wherever a neuro-endocrine tumour develops, it can begin to produce hormones - and 30 per cent do so, resulting in a range of symptoms. The type of hormone produced varies significantly, but tumours in the lungs tend to produce either ACTH, which regulates production of the stress hormone cortisol, or serotonin, which can affect gut function, mood and the dilation of blood vessels. If tumours produce serotonin, this causes flushing, diarrhoea and wheezing. But these vague symptoms can make a neuroendocrine tumour more difficult to diagnose and, often, they are only picked up by chance, says Catherine Bouvier of the Net Patient Foundation. 'In around 20 per cent of cases, they are detected either at A&E, as the patient has become very ill, or by chance when they go for a routine health check,' she says. Diagnosis is made more difficult by the fact that non-smokers often don't think that they can get lung cancer. 'We don't actually know what causes it - it is a total mystery, but it does not seem to be associated with smoking,' says Mr Pearce. In fact, while smoking is by far the most common cause of the 43,000 cases of lung cancer each year, 14 per cent of people who develop it will not be smokers. Lisa says her future is now uncertain and she is worried about her children . The type of lung cancer most heavily linked to smoking is squamous cell, yet even this can affect non-smokers. 'What we think happens with lung cancer is that smoking irritates the airways and this causes the cells there to change,' says Professor Keith Prowse, honorary medical director of the British Lung Foundation. 'In cases where people have not even had this connection with cigarette smoke, there is a suggestion that it may be linked to atmospheric pollution.' Some may also be genetically more prone to lung cancer. Almost all lung cancers cause similar symptoms. 'Patients get infection-type symptoms, such as a cough, coughing up blood or wheezing. The difficulty is, some of these symptoms also occur with other conditions, such as asthma,' says Professor Prowse. The lung is also a large organ - lay it out flat and it is as big as a tennis court. Getting a diagnosis relies on taking a biopsy from the right part. The good news is that for 70 per cent of those who are diagnosed with a bronchial carcinoid, the condition can be 'cured' simply by removing it surgically, says Professor Prowse. And here in the UK, we have more centres of excellence for treating this than anywhere in Europe, says Mr Pearce. 'However, not every patient with a neuroendocrine tumour gets seen by a specialist in one of these centres,' he adds. Lisa is one of the unlucky ones. After her surgery in 2005, she was discharged without any follow-up scans or investigations. She thought the experience was behind her and, the next year, went on to have another baby. Then, in 2010, she began to feel unwell. She couldn't quite put her finger on it - she had a bit of an upset stomach from time to time, daily acid indigestion, the odd palpitation and flushing. She also had pains in her chest. Lisa now knows this was caused by another tumour on her lung, pumping out hormones. When she initially went to her GP, she was told to cut out alcohol and given omeprazole, a drug to reduce her stomach acid. But eventually, in July 2012, she was sent for a scan. It revealed that the cancer had returned to the same lung. 'Suddenly, doctors started using the word cancer for the first time - I had no idea that was what I had, which came as a major shock to say the least,' says Lisa. The tumour is between two major blood vessels, and she has been told it is inoperable. The problem is that, aside from surgery, there is no cure for this cancer - as it is a slow-growing form of the disease, it does not respond to conventional chemotherapy, which targets cells with a rapid turnover. Proportion of lung cancer cases linked to inadequate intake of fruit and veg . But there are drugs that can stop the tumour getting bigger, and nuclear medicine treatments, using radioactivity to target receptors on the tumour cells. Initially, Lisa was given hormone injections, called lanreotide, which she had to self-administer once a month. 'At first, it was great as it stopped my other symptoms such as an upset stomach. I was told that the cancer was stable, but I felt as if I had a ticking time-bomb inside me and dreaded going to my scans.' A recent scan showed her tumour had started to increase, and she now needs further follow-up scans to look at it in more detail. People often wrongly refer to this cancer as benign, says Mr Pearce. 'They say: "Good news, it's a benign tumour", then a few years later: "Bad news, it's spread". 'The cells can look benign down a microscope and that's why you need to see a specialist, because they will know how these really do behave - and they do spread, in 30 to 40 per cent of cases.' Lisa is very angry that neuroendocrine cancer is portrayed as almost 'harmless' and that while specialists say anyone with an endocrine tumour should be followed up, she was not - she has also been in touch with others like her who have not been followed up, either. Lisa says: 'It's unfair. I brought another child into the world after my operation, thinking that I would be fine. 'No one can tell me what the future holds, but I know this - if you have a neuroendocrine cancer, make sure you get followed up. 'It might be a slow growing, easy-to-treat cancer for most people - but not for all.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)The news was stunning to hear: A young woman, 18-year-old Michelle Carter, was charged with involuntary manslaughter for allegedly sending text messages urging her friend to commit suicide. How could a young person -- who was a close friend of the deceased, Conrad Roy, 18 -- allegedly do such a horrifying thing? And what are the legal ramifications of what a teen says online or in a text? But a lesser discussed point this tragic story raises is how quickly a teen can go from normal everyday life to facing severe, life-altering legal consequences. That is why Lisa Green, author of the informative new book "On Your Case: A Compassionate (and Only Slightly Bossy) Legal Guide for Every Stage of a Woman's Life," believes every parent of a teen should have a criminal defense lawyer in mind and at the ready -- just in case. "To me this is the unrecognized area that parents, particularly parents of teens, miss all the time," said Green during a recent interview at CNN's studios. "So many of our friends have armies of tutors, extracurricular activities, all sorts of angles covered ... but when it comes to the law, there's this black hole." Mom arrested for leaving 9-year-old alone at park . Green, a journalist, lawyer and television legal analyst, says people often think of the law as scary and intimidating and believe they don't need to worry about it because their kid is never going to get into legal trouble. Whether it's a case as serious as Carter's involuntary manslaughter charge, or a simple allegation of vandalism, parents need to be prepared, Green said. "I cannot count the number of kids I know, good kids, who find themselves in the wrong place at the wrong time," said Green. "I have now two young adults, and when they were going through their teenage years, it was a simple matter of a party that went wrong, a group of kids in the park when the police stop by and have some questions, bringing something to school they shouldn't have. "And in each of those cases, a little bit of knowledge of the law, a little bit of knowledge of what their rights are, the right way to behave, would have saved parents a heck of a lot of grief." Green thinks parents should think about the issue in the same way they would track down a good orthopedist if their child breaks a bone, or the best tutor if their child is struggling before the SAT. Parents' house seized after son's drug bust . "I am not saying that parents need to go out and get their own law degrees ... but just dipping your finger into the topic will help you understand what's available to you to help you parent better," she said. She gives some real-life examples especially in the social media age. For instance, what if a teen is asked by a school administrator to turn over his or her cell phone based on allegations the teen was sending inappropriate texts? What parents should know, Green said, is that a school can't open a cell phone for no reason at all. "They need to have reasonable suspicion that something's wrong," said Green, who said parents would be wise to talk to their teens about what's appropriate and what's not when it comes to handling such requests from school officials. "If you're asked, as a child, for a locker search, to open a phone, to open a laptop, if it's your property, pause and ask if you could call Mom and Dad," she said. "We can act whether we're lawyers or not as that first line of defense." Green also says that parents of college-bound teens should spend a few minutes looking online at the school's code of conduct. "They don't tell you about it during that fantastic tour with the kid walking backwards as your child is looking around to say, 'Who can I party with?' But it's a really important set of information because different schools have different levels of tolerance" for activities such as drinking on campus, she said. And even before teens head off to college, parents should know about social host laws, where parents could be held criminally responsible or face civil damages if teens drink alcohol in their home and then go off and do something inappropriate or even tragic. Scary consequences for parents hosting underage drinking . More than 150 cities or counties and 24 states currently have such laws on their books, according to Mothers Against Drunk Driving. In some cases, parents can be held liable even if they didn't know the drinking was taking place. "It doesn't have to be you with the shaker, like an episode of 'Mad Men,' serving up Manhattans to a group of grateful teens," said Green. "If you've made it possible in your home, if you don't lock your liquor cabinet -- I never did -- and all of a sudden kids are drinking, that could be a problem as well." While Green is passionate about educating parents on why they need to think about the law, she stresses that bad behavior by teens still needs to be punished either legally or at home. "I am not advocating that kids should be absolved of responsibility. If a kid does something wrong, if they broke the law, they ought to be punished appropriately by it. But we also live in a society where we have legal rights, and I want parents to know that they should be aware of what those are so they can help their child use better judgment." So if after reading this, you are moved to try to find a criminal defense lawyer, how on earth do you go about finding one? Green's advice is to ask friends and colleagues for referrals and also consult with your state bar association, since you would want someone in your state who has experience with criminal defense issues. Then she says you should call up and interview a few lawyers, asking them everything from how much their services would cost (that can vary), to who would handle the work, to what their philosophy is about the law and teens' rights. "You may or may not end up being friends afterwards, but that's not as important as feeling secure that your lawyer is approaching the situation in a way that feels right for you." Do you think it's important for parents of teens to be aware of the law and their children's legal rights?

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | A massive operation involving 30,000 members of the Iraqi military is succeeding in forcing Islamic State militants to withdraw from the strategic city of Tikrit, army generals have claimed. Thousands of soldiers and government-backed Shi'ite militias already claim to have killed ISIS' second in command in the city, which is the birthplace of former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The anti-ISIS advance has been slowed by numerous roadside bombs however, leading to fierce clashes outside the town of al-Dour, south of Tikrit. Retaking the ISIS stronghold is considered vital if government forces are to succeed in their plan to force ISIS out of the oil rich city of Mosul, the terror group's Iraqi power base which lies just 140 miles north of Tikrit on Highway 1 - a road that effectively marks the front line in northern Iraq. Scroll down for videos .

Carnage: Smoke rises from an explosion as Iraqi forces, Shiite militiamen and Sunni tribal fighters battle Islamic State militants for control of Tikrit earlier this morning . Despite reports of local successes and the killing of ISIS' local second in command, officials in northern Iraq say troops are still clashing with jihadis south of Tikrit. Roadside bombs, the officials claim, have slowed the offensive to retake the ISIS-held city. The two local officials say fierce clashes are underway outside the town of al-Dour, south of Tikrit. They say government forces backed by Shi'ite militias and Sunni tribal fighters have made little progress on the second day of a large-scale military operation to recapture Tikrit, which fell to the Islamic State group last summer. They say troops are shelling militant bases inside the city but their advance has been slowed by roadside bombs. The officials spoke anonymously as they are not authorized to brief media. Blast: Iraqi security forces fire artillery during clashes with Islamic State militants yesterday afternoon . Battle: Shi'ite fighters clash with Islamic State militants at Udhaim dam, north of Baghdad yesterday . Combat: Despite reports of local successes and the killing of ISIS' local second in command, officials in northern Iraq say troops are still clashing with jihadis south of Tikrit . Iraqi Army and volunteer fighters move in to position in Saladin Governorate before an operation against ISIS . Iraqi warplanes and artillery began pounding Tikrit yesterday as 30,000 troops and irregulars prepared to attack the city. The operation in the birthplace of former dictator Saddam Hussein was announced on Sunday by Iraq's prime minister, who urged soldiers and government-backed Shi'ite militias to spare civilians. Speaking from Samarra, the other main city in Salaheddin province, Haider al-Abadi appeared to be addressing fears of reprisals against Tikrit's mainly Sunni population. The Iraqi regime forces have yet to enter Tikrit or the nearby Tigris river town of al-Dour, which officials describe as a major centre for the Islamic State fighters. On the southern flank of the offensive, army and police officials said government forces moving north from the city of Samarra could launch an attack on al-Dour later on Tuesday. Iranian military commander Qassem Soleimani, who has helped coordinate Baghdad's counter-attacks against Islamic State since it seized much of northern Iraq in June, was overseeing at least part of the operation, witnesses told Reuters. His presence on the frontline highlights neighbouring Iran's influence over the Shi'ite fighters who have been key to containing the militants in Iraq. Explosion: As fighting continues to rage in and around Tikrit, a shocking video emerged showing an Islamic State suicide bomber launching a failed attack on an Iraqi military convoy . Accident: It is understood that the jihadi who carried out the attack detonated his device too early and accidentally killed several of his fellow militants. 58 ISIS fighters subsequently surrendered to the Iraqi army, while the bodies of at least 10 others were found nearby . In contrast the US-led air coalition which has been attacking Islamic State across Iraq and Syria has not yet played a role in Tikrit, the Pentagon said on Monday, perhaps in part because of the high-level Iranian presence. Soleimani, head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Quds Force, was directing operations on the eastern flank from a village about 55 km (35 miles) from Tikrit called Albu Rayash, captured from Islamic State two days ago. With him were two Iraqi Shi'ite paramilitary leaders: the leader of the Hashid Shaabi, Abu Mahdi al-Mohandis, and Hadi al-Amiri who leads the Badr Organisation, a powerful Shi'ite militia. As fighting continues to rage in and around Tikrit, a shocking video emerged showing an Islamic State suicide bomber launching a failed attack on an Iraqi military convoy. The 52-second video, released on LiveLeak, shows a massive blast near the ISIS stronghold filmed from the back of a vehicle driven by regime forces. So ferocious is the explosion that a thick black cloud of smoke is seen rising high in to the air, while debris litters the landscape for several hundred metres. It is understood that the jihadi who carried out the attack detonated his device too early and accidentally killed several of his fellow militants. 58 ISIS fighters subsequently surrendered to the Iraqi army, while the bodies of at least 10 others were found nearby.

Iraqi soldiers gesture towards the camera before yesterday's attack on Islamic State targets near Tikrit . Tikrit would be the biggest victory yet for Iraqi forces battling Islamic State, but the attack by thousands of Shi'ite irregulars could severely test the government's ability to handle sectarian divisions. Iraq is bitterly split between minority Sunnis, who were an important base of support for Saddam Hussein, despite his regime's nominal secularism, and the Shi'ite majority. Since the Islamic State insurgency began, the Iraqi military is heavily dependent on Shi'ite militias that have been accused of abusing Sunni communities elsewhere in Iraq. 'The priority we gave to the armed forces and all the forces taking part alongside them is to preserve the security of citizens,' Mr Abadi said last night. Iraqi forces tried and failed several times to wrestle back Tikrit, a Sunni Arab city on the Tigris river around 100 miles north of Baghdad. Tikrit would be the biggest victory yet for Iraqi forces battling Islamic State, but the attack by thousands of Shi'ite irregulars could severely test the government's ability to handle sectarian divisions . Prepared: Heavily armed Shi'ite milita are seen taking up positions ahead their fight against the Islamic State . The military commander for Salaheddin province, Abdel Wahab Saadi, said Tikrit had both symbolic and strategic importance. 'The aim of course is to liberate Salaheddin to allow for the return of displaced families but it is also going to be a stepping stone on the way to liberating Mosul,' he told AFP. Tikrit is the hometown of executed dictator Saddam Hussein, the remnants of whose Baath party have collaborated with IS in attempting to topple the Shi'ite-dominated government. IS declared a 'caliphate' last June straddling Iraq and Syria, where the US-led coalition has also been conducting air strikes but not coordinating with any significant ground force. | 30,000 members of the Iraqi military are attacking ISIS targets in Tikrit .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Manchester United are the biggest club in England when it comes to crowds - both now and historically - and the joint biggest along with Liverpool when it comes to ‘star players’ in their line-ups, all-time. Crowds and stars have been considered as part of a Sportsmail study to explore which English clubs are the ‘biggest’; 58 different teams of the current 92 in the top four divisions have been included in the study, having played in England’s top division for at least a season. Two different measurements were used for crowds - the average gates for each club this season, plus the biggest gate each club has ever had at any point. The aim of this was to gauge not just one season but reflect former ‘greatness’ for clubs now enduring leaner times but who were authentic giants at some point. Manchester United, averaging over 75,000 fans every game at Old Trafford, top the crowds list . This is what Maine Road looked like in 1934, the year Manchester City recorded a record attendance of 84,569 . Arsenal's Emirates Stadium sees them second in attendances for this season, and fourth overall on crowds . CLICK HERE to see Sportsmail's definitive list of the BIGGEST clubs in England . United’s current average attendances of more than 75,000 leaves them way ahead of the field, with Arsenal in second place just below 60,000, then Newcastle (nearly 51,000), Manchester City (45,400), Liverpool (44,700), with Chelsea, Sunderland, Everton, Tottenham and West Ham filling out the top 10. All 59 clubs in the study have been ranked on current attendances, and separately on their biggest historic gates. An aggregate of those two ranks gives the overall crowd ranking topped by United, with City in second place, then Chelsea, Arsenal and Sunderland. City have the highest single attendance for a home club match in English football - almost 85,000 were at Maine Road for the game in question, an FA Cup tie against Stoke in 1934. United are the club with the next biggest home record, just over 83,000 for a league match with Arsenal in 1948. We ranked all clubs on the size of their average gates during this season to reflect contemporary pull. Then we ranked each club by the size of their biggest historic gates. Their overall crowd rank is an aggregate of current pull and also potential based on past highs. Incidentally, this was also played at Maine Road, which United were using at that time because Old Trafford had been so damaged in the blitz. Eight other clubs also have record home attendances of more than 70,000: Chelsea, Everton, Aston Villa, Sunderland, Tottenham, Charlton, Arsenal and Sheffield Wednesday and these all-time highs are reflective of these clubs having massive paying support in different eras. AFC Wimbledon's support may be loud and loyal, but they are bottom of our list in terms of crowds . With Kingsmeadow one of the Football League's smallest grounds, AFC Wimbledon rank low on attendance . We counted the number of players from each club who have played for England, all-time, ranking the clubs by total. This reflects historic ‘bigness’. We then ranked the clubs by the number of players provided to the 2014 World Cup — a measure of modern ‘bigness’. The overall ranking is an aggregate of these two. To measure the amount of ‘star’ players at each club, both all-time and more recently, our study used two objective criteria - the number of players capped by England at each club, ever, and the number of players called up by their countries for the most recent World Cup. The notion of ‘stars’ will always be subjective. That is a given. But using proxies of England players over time and World Cup players last summer allowed hard data to compare all the clubs on a like-for-like basis. The clubs have been ranked on each criteria with an aggregate ranking to determine the ‘biggest’ clubs in terms of all-time stars. Using this method, United and Liverpool are joint top. Liverpool have provided the third most England players, all-time (67), behind Aston Villa in first place (73) and Tottenham (71). They also provided the joint third-most players of all the clubs in the English league to the World Cup (10). Manchester United had the most players of any English team at the World Cup, including Wayne Rooney . Liverpool were third for number of players at the World Cup, including Luis Suarez and Steven Gerrard . Fabian Delph is the only Aston Villa in the current England squad, but they top the historical list . United provided the most players to the World Cup of all English clubs (14), followed by Chelsea (12) then Liverpool, Arsenal and City on 10 each. United have provided the fifth most England players, or 65 to date. Thus both Liverpool and United’s aggregate ‘star player’ rankings are the same. Our ‘star player’ index has Arsenal and Tottenham in joint third, followed by Everton, City and Chelsea in joint fifth, then Aston Villa in eighth, Newcastle in ninth, with West Brom and Southampton joint 10th. The full rankings are in the tables below. | Manchester City top the all-time top attendance list from a game in 1934 . But Manchester United's average 2014/15 attendance sees them top our 'crowds' category . Liverpool and United are joint first for most 'star players' Tottenham and Arsenal follow in England caps and World Cup stars . Sportsmail's HOW BIG IS YOUR CLUB?

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Only once did Paul Ince pause for breath in Dublin 8 on Thursday. Nothing else fazed 'The Guv'nor' on a Carlsberg gig in the shadow of St Patrick's Cathedral. Not Roy Keane's managerial qualities, his relationship with Fergie, Ryan Giggs' role at Old Trafford, where Wayne Rooney should play, or Manuel Pellegrini's future. No. The only question which caused him to puff his cheeks and buy time, was a simple one: are Liverpool a better team with Steven Gerrard, or without? Paul Ince is pictured in Dublin on Thursday as he spoke about Liverpool vs Manchester United . With Manchester United docking at Anfield on Sunday, and Gerrard – or Stevie G as Ince called him - available after injury, the query was relevant. And Ince knew it. 'I think any Liverpool team with Stevie G is going to be better, not just from a footballing point of view but a leadership point of view,' he said. 'Stevie G is like a comfort blanket. When he is in your team you feel comfortable, you think 'oh good, Stevie G is there.' 'When Stevie G is not in the Liverpool team, players worry. But when they see him leading them out, they feel alright, 'we've got our leader here.' 'They've won without him, done well, but Sunday is one of those games where you need your men, your warriors, and that's what Stevie G is.' Whether Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers feels the same remains to be seen but Ince is adamant Gerrard should play. 'If I was manager, I'd pick him,' he said. With or without Gerrard, Ince feels Liverpool have a slight edge. Steven Gerrard (right) puts in a tackle on Swansea's Bafetimbi Gomis at the Liberty on Monday night . 'If you'd asked me a couple of weeks ago I'd have said a comfortable win for Liverpool, now, I think there's a bit more to it as United were more like the old United against Tottenham. 'Liverpool are flying and are really strong at home, and I think they will win.' Not that a swallow will make a summer for a club without a championship since 1990. 'The only way Liverpool will overtake Man United is to start winning titles again,' acknowledged Ince. Ince is out of management since Blackpool showed him the door 14 months ago, but 45 minutes in his company left the impression he could do a decent job for any number of clubs. Open, engaging, informative, Ince covered almost as much ground as he did in a distinguished playing career which spanned 20 seasons, eight of which he spent at United, where he won plenty, and Liverpool, where he won nothing. At that time, Ince reckoned everyone wanted to play for those two clubs, but now they 'ain't the big giants anymore.' 'We're not talking about two teams fighting for the title, we're talking about two teams fighting for Champions League football. That says it all.' Ince feels that Liverpool are a better team with Gerrard as he looked ahead to Sunday's match at Anfield . 'If Chelsea were playing Man City the same day we'd be talking about those two giants instead.' While building up Roy Keane as a contender to manage Man United in the future, he doesn't believe Ryan Giggs can succeed Louis Van Gaal. 'Absolutely no chance,' he said. 'Giggsy's my mate and he enjoyed last year, he loved it. And now under Van Gaal he's learning. But I said to Giggsy, 'you gotta go to a club to get experience. Go manage a League One side or League Two side or because you're Ryan Giggs you might get a Championship team.' 'You can't just throw him into Man Utd, one of the biggest clubs in the world and say 'there ya go Giggsy.' He's not ready for that.' 'Why would you put Giggs in a situation where if he doesn't succeed you have to sack him? 'Learn from Van Gaal and then go out and find your own feet.

'I was only 18-19 and thinking 'move over, old man I'm taking over' but he would flick the ball around the corners and get it back. He taught me a lesson.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Neil Jenkins says that Wales will be concentrated totally on winning - rather than potential mathematical permutations - when they tackle RBS 6 Nations opponents Italy at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday. Wales, courtesy of successive victories over Scotland, France and Ireland, have put themselves firmly in the Six Nations title mix alongside England and Ireland. Although Wales' inferior points difference means they have a mountain to climb in pursuit of silverware, a possible third Six Nations crown in four years cannot be discounted. Sam Warburton (left) and George North (right) lead the celebrations after beating Ireland last week . Neil Jenkins (left) says Wales are only thinking about an Italy victory, rather than checking other results . Wales are first into action on so-called Super Saturday, with Ireland then tackling Scotland before England host France. 'The main objective and focus for us is obviously winning a Test match. If other things happen, well, so be it,' said Wales skills coach Jenkins, speaking at the team's Rome hotel on Friday. 'I am sure that we will be kicking ourselves if we didn't win and the other games went Scotland's way and France's way. 'The main objective is to win the game, and see where that takes us. 'England will know what they have to do when they play last on Saturday, but no matter what time you play, the focus is still the same for us. We have to win the game and win another Test match.' Italy's preparations have been rocked by the absence of their inspirational captain Sergio Parisse through injury, which has meant the Azzurri back-row being reshuffled and hooker Leonardo Ghiraldini taking over as skipper. 'Sergio is obviously a fantastic rugby player, a world-class number eight, and no matter what side he plays in, if he is not playing they are obviously going to miss him,' Jenkins added. 'We played them two years ago in Rome and Sergio didn't play, and they were pretty strong. Conditions weren't great that day, but it was a pretty tough Test match. 'He played pretty well against us in Cardiff last year and caused us an awful lot of problems. He is a world-class player, and any team would miss him. 'I think Italy have played some good rugby in the competition. 'It was nip and tuck with Ireland early on in that first game, and Italy probably just lacked a bit of possession. They played some good rugby against England, and then had a fantastic win in Edinburgh. 'They will probably say themselves they were disappointed with their performance last week against France. Wales, pictured this week in training, have travelled to Rome knowing a win could secure Six Nations glory . Mike Phillips passes the ball during an open session in Cardiff on Tuesday . 'But look, every time we come here it is a very tough game. Generally, we have been successful, but not by much, so we are expecting another tough game tomorrow.' Key for Wales will be to set out their stall and build points, like they did in destroying Ireland's Grand Slam dream last Saturday. 'We started incredibly well last week and ticked the scoreboard over,' Jenkins said. 'Up until Samson (Lee) got injured, which was a huge disappointment for us, it had been nigh-on perfect rugby. Territory, possession and everything we did was spot-on. 'The boys have recovered well. They know how important tomorrow is. It is an opportunity for us to go out and give ourselves a chance to try and win the championship.' Wales performed a title-winning feat in 2013 after losing their opening game - then it was against Ireland, this time England - by reeling off four successive victories and taking the championship on points difference. While this season's equation is far more complex, the desire is unchanged. 'If you look at the Six Nations, the unpredictability is what's great about the tournament,' Wales full-back Leigh Halfpenny said. 'Every game is competitive, and that is why it's a huge achievement to win the Six Nations. 'All we can do is focus on our game in Rome. That's all we can do, before we wait and see what happens. 'If we go on to win it, it would give us that confidence and belief ahead of the World Cup.'

From this passage tell me why Panama Canal is called one of the seven wonders of the modern world | The Panama Canal is an artificial 82 km (51 mi) waterway in Panama that connects the Atlantic Ocean with the Pacific Ocean and divides North and South America. The canal cuts across the Isthmus of Panama and is a conduit for maritime trade. One of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken, the Panama Canal shortcut greatly reduces the time for ships to travel between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, enabling them to avoid the lengthy, hazardous Cape Horn route around the southernmost tip of South America via the Drake Passage or Strait of Magellan.
Colombia, France, and later the United States controlled the territory surrounding the canal during construction. France began work on the canal in 1881, but stopped because of lack of investors' confidence due to engineering problems and a high worker mortality rate. The United States took over the project on May 4, 1904, and opened the canal on August 15, 1914. The US continued to control the canal and surrounding Panama Canal Zone until the 1977 Torrijos–Carter Treaties provided for its handover to Panama. After a period of joint American–Panamanian control, the canal was taken over by the Panamanian government in 1999. It is now managed and operated by the government-owned Panama Canal Authority.
Canal locks at each end lift ships up to Gatun Lake, an artificial lake 26 meters (85 ft) above sea level, created to reduce the amount of excavation work required for the canal, and then lower the ships at the other end. The original locks are 33.5 meters (110 ft) wide. A third, wider lane of locks was constructed between September 2007 and May 2016. The expanded waterway began commercial operation on June 26, 2016. The new locks allow transit of larger, New Panamax ships.
Annual traffic has risen from about 1,000 ships in 1914, when the canal opened, to 14,702 vessels in 2008, for a total of 333.7 million Panama Canal/Universal Measurement System (PC/UMS) tons. By 2012, more than 815,000 vessels had passed through the canal. In 2017 it took ships an average of 11.38 hours to pass between the canal's two locks. The American Society of Civil Engineers has ranked the Panama Canal one of the seven wonders of the modern world. | The American Society of Civil Engineers has ranked the Panama Canal one of the seven wonders of the modern world not only because it was one of the largest and most difficult engineering projects ever undertaken, but also because of its significant impact in maritime trade across the Atlantic and Pacific oceans near the Americas.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)A 20-year-old man from the St. Louis area has been arrested in connection with the shooting of two police officers during last week's protests in Ferguson, Missouri, a prosecutor said Sunday. Jeffrey Williams was arrested late Saturday, and he has been charged with two counts of first-degree assault, a count of firing a weapon from a vehicle and three counts of armed criminal activity, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Bob McCulloch said at a news conference in Clayton. "The demonstrations were pretty much over (when the officers were shot). People were leaving, and that's when this happened," he said, describing Williams as a demonstrator who had taken part in protests on numerous occasions. At the time of his arrest, Williams was on probation for receiving stolen property, and McCulloch said he believed Williams had an outstanding warrant after not reporting to his probation officer for several months. The prosecutor repeatedly thanked the public for the information that led to the arrest. He also said that, because of the public's assistance in the case, police were able to serve a search warrant on Williams' residence where they seized a .40-caliber handgun, "which has been tied to the shell casings that were recovered" at the scene of the shooting. Williams is being held on a cash-only $300,000 bond, McCulloch said, adding that it's possible Williams could face more charges and that others could be charged in the case. One element of the case that authorities have yet to sort out is intent, McCulloch said, adding that Williams has acknowledged firing the shots but has said he wasn't aiming at the police officers. Investigators are not sure they "buy" Williams' claim that he opened fire after a dispute with other individuals, McCulloch said, but he didn't rule it out. "It's possible he was firing at someone else," he said, urging any other witnesses with information to come forward. Bishop Derrick Robinson, an area organizer, challenged the idea that Williams was a well-known protester. "I asked him (Williams) why would he say that he was a protester because it makes us look bad -- because so many things that we've done to rebuild our community. It sets us like five steps back to say that it was a protester who did it, but he admitted to me that he'd never protested," said Robinson, who spoke to Williams on Sunday. Robinson added: "We won't allow this to distract us from our mission, and from purpose, because we will continue to fight." The shootings occurred Wednesday night. The shots rang out from a hill overlooking the city's police station shortly after midnight Wednesday, at the end of a protest against the Ferguson Police Department, St. Louis County Police Chief Jon Belmar said at the time. Officers saw "muzzle flashes ... about 125 yards away," Belmar said. "We could have buried two police officers," Belmar told reporters last week. "I feel very confident that whoever did this ... came there for whatever nefarious reason that it was." Public donations poured in to be used toward a reward to find the gunman and any accomplices, Belmar said. Authorities offered a $10,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of person or persons responsible for the gunfire upon the two officers, according to the St. Louis Regional CrimeStoppers website. McCulloch said the tipster whose information led to Williams' arrest is eligible to receive the reward. He declined to provide any information on the tipster or the nature of the tip. Protesters said they had nothing to do with the shooting, saying the demonstrators believe in nonviolence. "As the protest was dying down, someone, somewhere got violent. Now who they were and what group they were affiliated with, we don't know," said Antonio French, a St. Louis alderman. "In no way are they representative of the thousands of people ... who have been protesting." Belmar believes someone targeted the police, who have faced heated criticism for months, he said. "These police officers were standing there, and they were shot just because they were police officers," he said. The department has been under fire since one of its officers, Darren Wilson, shot and killed African-American teen Michael Brown in August, and more recently since a scathing U.S. Department of Justice report documented a pattern of racial discrimination. Police Chief Thomas Jackson resigned Wednesday. "We are actively addressing the issues that have raised concerns of fairness and fair treatment. We support peaceful protesting. However, we will not allow, nor tolerate, the destructive and violent actions of a few to disrupt our unifying efforts," the mayor of Ferguson and the City Council said in a statement Sunday. While the demonstrators' focus was Ferguson, neither of the wounded officers works for that police department. One is from Webster Groves, a St. Louis suburb 13 miles south of Ferguson. The officer -- a 32-year-old with seven years' experience -- was shot at the high point of his cheek, just under his right eye, Belmar said. The other was hit in the shoulder and the bullet came out the middle of his back, Belmar said. He is a 41-year-old officer with the St. Louis County Police Department, who has been in law enforcement for 14 years. Both men were treated and released.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | On reflection, it would be wrong to describe inter-squad relations back then as frosty. Cordial might be more appropriate. Yet the warmth was distinctly a few degrees south of what Steven Naismith is currently enjoying each time the Scotland squad gathers on the banks of Loch Lomond. The reasons for the dawning of an age of bonhomie are not too hard to fathom. In little over two years, Gordon Strachan has transformed the national team from a laughing stock into a source of genuine pride and hope. One that people naturally want to be part of. Awkward conversations between players who would much rather be elsewhere are conspicuous by their absence. A sense of togetherness - which can only truly be fostered by a string of positive results and performances - is palpable. The Scotland squad are in high spirits in the lead-up to their clash with Northern Ireland on Wednesday . Naismith says: 'From when I joined the national team to now, it’s a totally different dynamic' The old cliché about a club-like atmosphere surrounding Team Scotland – for so long just empty rhetoric – now has a solid basis in reality. ‘From when I joined the national team to now, it’s a totally different dynamic in that every single player is chatting away to anybody,’ said Naismith. ‘It’s just normal. We’re a bunch of guys who are at similar points in life – starting families, getting married but all driven. Seeing what we have here and what we can do is what’s driving everyone. It’s great that we’re all of similar mind-sets and it works. ‘(Previously) I wouldn’t say it was as tight as it is now. Everyone wasn’t as open as they are now. ‘I wouldn’t say there were cliques and people not talking to each other. But the Rangers boys and the Celtic boys did tend to stay together. It’s just who you are familiar with. ‘Now everybody is just a bit more open. So many more of us get on and will be texting each other outwith football. It just brings people closer.’ For much of Naismith’s Scotland career, a call-up to the national side brought mixed emotions for many. Gordon Strachan's reign has brought back a sense of pride to the Scotland shirt . At times, the pride of being selected to pull on a dark blue jersey was diminished by a realisation that the team was going nowhere fast. Frequent numerous call-offs just became the way of things. Many of those who did assemble for duty wore the look of men who wish they hadn’t bothered. Not now. Naismith says there are no cliques in the side . ‘Most folk will hang about in the communal areas and chill and enjoy banter,’ he added. ‘In the past, people maybe went to their own room or someone else’s room in twos or threes. ‘Now you could walk through the hotel and see eight or nine guys mixing – and it’s always a different mix. ‘The manager has not directly encouraged it but the way he operates being so open and honest rubs off on the way we behave and work together.’ It says much that only Ross McCormack has withdrawn from Strachan’s original party to face Northern Ireland on Wednesday and Gibraltar on Sunday. Hardly fixtures that necessitate a dose of tranquillisers to calm the pulse of the Tartan Army, but tellingly viewed by the entire squad as matters of the utmost importance. ‘It’s a very good game as we’ve both started our campaigns very well,’ Naismith said of Wednesday's Hampden friendly. ‘It’s a game with a little more to it, like Ireland and England, because they are close to home and the players are all familiar with each other. It’ll be a very good test. It’s an opportunity to try a few things and refresh the minds of what we’ve been doing because we’ve not been together for a period or four or five months.’ For Naismith, this match is also a case of Friends Reunited. Both Steven Davis and Kyle Lafferty shared a dressing room with him at Rangers for four years with three Scottish titles gleaned in that period. Norwich striker Lafferty didn’t have his troubles to seek at Ibrox initially but his latter contributions – together with his current displays for club and country – have long since convinced Naismith of his value to any side. Naismith will be reunited with friends Kyle Lafferty, who who played with during a successful run at Rangers . He will also compete with Steven Davis, another former Rangers star now on the Southampton books . ‘Ever since he was at Rangers he was been a big player for Northern Ireland,’ he said. ‘He has scored a few goals for them and he has been their main striker since David Healy. He has always been a threat and has matured more as he has grown older. ‘He probably lacked a bit of maturity back then, definitely. Around the changing room he was a great laugh and when times were tough he was always there to keep the boys up, even if he was the brunt of the jokes. When he was younger, he probably didn’t know when to stop. He has matured more now and speaking to the boys at Norwich they say he is different now to how he was back then. ‘The way he finished seasons (at Rangers) was remarkable. At specific times in a season you need players who are going to drag you through games and Laff would always pop up at the end of a season.’ What Everton would currently give for such a lucky charm. Currently sitting 13th in the Premiership, last season’s remarkable run to fifth under Roberto Martinez seems distant, while their Europa League aspirations were ripped to shreds by Dynamo Kiev. Everton's Naismith and Chicago-based Shaun Maloney, formerly of Rangers and Celtic respectively, share a laugh as they warm up with the Scotland squad on Tuesday . Typifying how many fans now have the collective memories of goldfish, graffiti denigrating the Spaniard has been seen around Goodison Park. ‘I’ve seen that,’ Naismith admitted. ‘To be honest, it’s very unlike Everton fans. I think it’s a very small minority. They are normally great. ‘At times this season it’s been so frustrating for them after the success of last season. The way we played then was great and everything was going for us. ‘It’s not nice to see but we definitely believe in what we are doing. It worked last season.’ The irony of Scotland now providing a lift for ailing club players is lost on no one. If defeat to England last time out was a natural disappointment, there was no shortage of understanding given the toil in putting Ireland to the sword four days previously. ‘The last trip was quite tricky,’ Naismith recalled. ‘There was so much build up on the Ireland game, the main event, and to get such a good result took such a lot out of the boys. ‘In hindsight, everyone was desperate to play against England … the manager was speaking to a few players to see if they would sit it out, but everyone was dying to play and that probably went against us. ‘England caught us off guard, were on the front foot and pressed us well and took their chances. It was difficult for us to take but we are a much more solid unit now with so much confidence for places. ‘Even Matt Ritchie has come in, who is such a great talent. He’s exactly the type of player who will add something to the squad.’ | Scotland face Northern Ireland on Wednesday and Gibraltar on Sunday .

He added: ‘It would be the best achievement in an England shirt, no doubt. All we can worry about is winning the game and letting everything else take care of itself. Our fate is still in our hands.

Which of the tree species mentioned in the text are used as a source of food for animals? | Multipurpose trees or multifunctional trees are trees that are deliberately grown and managed for more than one output. They may supply food in the form of fruit, nuts, or leaves that can be used as a vegetable; while at the same time supplying firewood, adding nitrogen to the soil, or supplying some other combination of multiple outputs. "Multipurpose tree" is a term common to agroforestry, particularly when speaking of tropical agroforestry where the tree owner is a subsistence farmer.
While all trees can be said to serve several purposes, such as providing habitat, shade, or soil improvement; multipurpose trees have a greater impact on a farmer's well-being because they fulfill more than one basic human need. In most cases multipurpose trees have a primary role; such as being part of a living fence, or a windbreak, or used in an ally cropping system. In addition to this they will have one or more secondary roles, most often supplying a family with food or firewood, or both.
When a multipurpose tree is planted, a number of needs and functions can be fulfilled at once. They may be used as a windbreak, while also supplying a staple food for the owner. They may be used as fencepost in a living fence, while also being the main source of firewood for the owner. They may be intercropped into existing fields, to supply nitrogen to the soil, and at the same time serve as a source of both food and firewood.
Common multipurpose trees of the tropics include:
Gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium) – the most common tree used for living fences in Central America, firewood, fodder, fixing nitrogen into the soil.
Moringa (Moringa oleifera) – edible leaves, pods and beans, commonly used for animal forage and shade (it does not fix nitrogen as is commonly believed)
Coconut palm (Cocos nucifera) – used for food, purified water (juice from inside the coconut), roof thatching, firewood, shade.
Neem (Azadirachta indica) – limited use as insect repellent, antibiotic, adding nitrogen to the soil, windbreaks, biomass production for use as mulch, firewood.
Ideally most trees found on tropical farms should be multipurpose, and provide more to the farmer than simply shade and firewood. In most cases they should be nitrogen fixing legumes, or trees that greatly increase the farmer's food security. | Gliricidia (Gliricidia sepium) and Moringa (Moringa oleifera) are used as a source of food for humans. |

The Victorian government euthanised 686 koalas at Cape Otway, on the same stretch of coast but about 250km west of Portland, in 2013 and 2014 in response to overpopulation in manna gum woodlands in the area. The koalas were killed via lethal injection after being captured in trees.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)When I received an advance copy of a book called "Moody Bitches" last month, I was immediately intrigued. I have been called moody, and the "b" word, but never have both terms been used -- at once -- to describe me. (At least not that I know of!) Had I been labeled a moody "b" in the past, I certainly would have taken it as a major insult. But today, if someone called me that, I think I would say, "Thank you for describing who I am and who we, women, are. There is nothing wrong with being moody, emotional or irritable." That provocative title, "Moody Bitches: The Truth About the Drugs You're Taking, the Sleep You're Missing, the Sex You're Not Having and What's Really Making You Crazy," got me thinking about whether our emotionality, our monthly ups and downs during our menstrual cycle, should be viewed as such a negative after all. Opinion: Are drugs stifling women? "Women have this idea that we are supposed to not be moody and we're supposed to tamp down that moodiness," said Julie Holland, author of "Moody Bitches" and a psychiatrist who has practiced in New York for 20 years. "It's like a problem to be fixed and really, I think it's our greatest asset. It's certainly our greatest psychological asset." After all, our empathetic nature helps us understand nonverbal babies -- and not-always-the-most-communicative husbands and partners. Our intuition helps us sense people's motivations. Our emotions help us realize when something is wrong in our lives. So, why on earth have all of those qualities come to be viewed as a source of weakness, not strength? And why is at least one in four American women taking some form of psychiatric medication, including antidepressants, versus one in seven men, according to Holland? Some of these women definitely should be taking antidepressants and other medications, but the question is why are so many other women taking them when they don't need to be? This is you on stress? Those were just some of the many questions a group of us chatted about over coffee recently: Holland, CNN legal analyst Sunny Hostin, Cosmopolitan executive editor Leslie Yazel and me. Yazel, a mom of a 4-year-old, wondered if people are afraid of being unhappy. "I do think that people are afraid to be sad and they're afraid to be scared," Holland said. "I think we spend a lot of time and energy pushing down emotions that are uncomfortable for us. I don't want to cry right now. I don't want to be angry. I don't want to be scared so we push it down, but the problem with pushing it down is it takes a lot of energy and it ends up creating a lot of tension." Social media, with the endless barrage of gorgeous-looking pictures from family and friends who appear to be having the most perfect lives, certainly doesn't help. In fact, a recent study showed that heavy Facebook users experience envy, which could lead to extreme sadness and depression. "Everyone's Instagraming their best, most fabulous, freakin' pictures, and they're looking so skinny and beautiful and so happy, and they're going on vacation ... and then you compare it to your life," said Hostin, a mom of two. It's not a real or genuine life, Holland said. "It's plastic." But when more and more women medicate away their emotions when they don't need to be taking antidepressants or any other psychiatric drugs, they create a "new normal," she said. Postpartum depression: One mom's mission becomes a movement . "It's like doping and biking, or steroids and baseball. If everybody is doing it, then the ones who don't are at a disadvantage," said Holland, who is also the author of the best-selling memoir "Weekends at Bellevue." "If everyone is getting boob jobs, then people who don't end up feeling flat-chested." And when it seems more normal than not to be on mental health meds, the bar is lowered for when women will go on antidepressants, she said. Women who are medicating away their emotions when they don't need to be might not realize there are major effects to their decision. Notably, they find it more difficult to cry -- and tougher to orgasm. "I certainly talk to my patients about sexual side effects. It comes up all the time. In our first meeting, I ask ... 'Is it hard for you to climax because this may end up being an issue? It's going to be even harder' ... but it's not like it's in the advertising," Holland said. "It may be in the small print on the back of the ad, or they may say it at lightning speed during the TV commercial." Women today are subjected to a barrage of advertising -- from daytime talk shows to women's magazines -- about the medications they could take to make them feel better. Women's desire for sex is complicated, not strictly hormonal, study says . "Twenty years ago, when I started my practice, I had somebody come to me and they would have symptoms, but they didn't quite know what was wrong and what they needed. And now people come to me and it's like, 'Well can you explain the difference between Effexor and Wellbutrin, and can you tell me which one I should take?' " The conversation "advanced from 'Is there something wrong with me? Do I need medicine?' to 'Which medicine is right for me?' " said Holland, who points to how nine out of 10 of the big pharmaceutical companies spend more on marketing than on research and development. What we're also seeing, Holland said, is a growing belief by women in the workplace that they need the meds to control their emotions at the office. She tells the story of a woman who called her up in tears and said she needed new antidepressants because clearly her current meds weren't preventing her from crying at work. When Holland asked her what caused her to cry, she said her boss was being difficult. Holland said what was needed was a plan to confront her boss, not a prescription for a new medication. "I hate to see us medicating away our sensitivity and emotionality for the comfort of other people in the workplace. I think it's a big mistake." Thinking about trying to control our emotionality for the comfort of others reminded me of a college relationship, which I shared with Hostin, Yazel and Holland. My boyfriend at the time told me one of my problems (he clearly thought I had many!) was that my highs were too high and my lows were too low. He said I needed to live in the middle. "You should be more like me, like a man," joked Holland. Clearly, that relationship didn't last very long! As we wrapped up, I asked the women what the biggest takeaway was for them following our conversation about Holland's thoughtful new book. "Don't give up your awesome orgasms," said Yazel. (Amen to that!) "So it's OK to be a moody 'b'?' " Hostin asked. "It's OK to be a moody 'b,' " Holland replied. "Our sensitivity and our emotionality is an asset. It's not a liability. It's not a symptom that needs to be medicated away." How concerned are you that so many women who don't necessarily need antidepressants are taking them?

Based on the reference text about Bitcoin, how many countries have banned Bitcoin? | Bitcoin (abbreviation: BTC or XBT; sign: ₿) is a protocol which implements a highly available, public, permanent, and decentralized ledger. In order to add to the ledger, a user must prove they control an entry in the ledger. The protocol specifies that the entry indicates an amount of a token, bitcoin with a minuscule b. The user can update the ledger, assigning some of their bitcoin to another entry in the ledger. Because the token has characteristics of money, it can be thought of as a digital currency.
Bitcoin transactions are verified by network nodes through cryptography and recorded in a public distributed ledger called a blockchain. The cryptocurrency was invented in 2008 by an unknown person or group of people using the name Satoshi Nakamoto. The currency began use in 2009, when its implementation was released as open-source software.: ch. 1 The word "bitcoin" was defined in a white paper published on October 31, 2008. It is a compound of the words bit and coin.
The Library of Congress reports that, as of November 2021, nine countries have fully banned bitcoin use, while a further forty-two have implicitly banned it. A few governments have used bitcoin in some capacity. El Salvador has adopted Bitcoin as legal tender, although use by merchants remains low. Ukraine has accepted cryptocurrency donations to fund the resistance to the 2022 Russian invasion. Iran has used bitcoin to bypass sanctions. | As of November 2021, 42 countries have implicitly banned and 9 countries have fully banned the use of Bitcoin. |

Mr Brown told the Courier Mail that Tara screamed out: ‘They’ve been murdered, they’ve been murdered.’ The scene at Toowoomba-Cecil Plains Road home was so grisly it distressed first-response police officers, according to Detective Inspector David Isherwood. 'Two of the victims, both the adult male and female, had very serious wounds to their bodies,' he said. 'Both appear to have been shot in the head.' A high-calibre weapon was found lying on a bed but police have not established how Jackson, discovered in a bedroom with Derek, died. Police have said Mr Sharpley's death is not considered suspicious but DI Isherwood stopped short of confirming the tragedy was a double murder-suicide. 'I will say that they are known to police,' he said. 'At this point in time there's nothing to suggest there was any incident that occurred in terms of a disturbance.'

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Boston (CNN)The defense in the trial of Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev rested Tuesday afternoon after presenting only four witnesses. Closing arguments are scheduled for Monday. The defense case lasted less than two days, while the prosecution presented more than 90 witnesses over the course of a month. Federal prosecutors rested their case Monday with grisly testimony about how the bomb Dzhokhar Tsarnaev placed near the marathon's finish line tore through the bodies of 8-year-old Martin Richard and Lingzi Lu, a 23-year-old grad student. A second bomb placed by Tsarnaev's brother, Tamerlan, killed Krystle Campbell, a 29-year-old restaurant manager. The short presentation in the sensational trial wasn't surprising, given that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's attorney, Judy Clarke, acknowledged during opening statements that "it was him," referring to her client's culpability. Testimony ended with an FBI fingerprint investigator who talked about numerous pieces of evidence with Tamerlan's fingerprints and not Dzhokhar's. Earlier, a computer expert testified about computer searches on Tamerlan's computer -- including gun stores, transmitters, fireworks firing system, detonator and Boston Marathon -- in the weeks before the bombing. Similar searches were not found on Dzhokhar's computer. Jurors first will be asked to determine whether Tsarnaev is guilty of 30 counts. Because 17 of those counts carry the death penalty as a possible punishment, a second phase of the trial will follow if the jury convicts him. In the penalty phase, jurors will be asked to weigh aggravating factors, such as the heinousness of the crime, versus mitigating factors, such as Tsarnaev's family history and his youth. He was 19 at the time of the bombings. The defense, which began calling witnesses Monday afternoon, has argued that Tsarnaev, known to friends as Jahar, fell under the sway of his more extremist older brother after their parents moved back to Russia. Jahar Tsarnaev was flunking out of the University of Massachusetts and had lost his financial aid at the time of the bombings. Prosecutors William Weinreb, Aloke Chakravarty, Nadine Pellegrini and Steve Mellin presented witnesses who told the story of Tsarnaev's alleged scheme with Tamerlan to build and detonate pressure cooker bombs as an act of jihad. The brothers, Muslims of Chechen descent, allegedly sought to kill Americans at an iconic public event to retaliate against U.S. policies they believed harmed and oppressed Muslims abroad. Prosecutors delved into Tsarnaev's text messages and Twitter posts and showed jurors militant material found in his laptop, phone and iPod. They included writings available online from top leaders of al Qaeda. They used data mined from a GPS device and store receipts to trace the purchase of the pressure cookers, BBs and ammunition. Jurors saw photos of pressure cooker parts, fuses, Christmas lights and other bombmaking materials found in the Tsarnaev family's Cambridge apartment, where Tamerlan lived with his wife and child. And they showed security surveillance videos of the brothers in the crowd near the finish line: In one, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev can be seen blending in with the crowd behind the Richard family for four minutes. He appears to slide a backpack off his shoulder near a tree and walk off, glancing over his shoulder. He broke into a run as the bomb went off. After the surveillance photos were released to the public three days after the bombing, the brothers allegedly embarked on a desperate -- and deadly -- attempt to escape. Jurors heard from carjacking victim Dun Meng and saw the brothers on convenience store surveillance video shortly before Meng's escape. He can be seen jumping out of his leased Mercedes SUV at a gas pump and running across the screen as Dzhokhar Tsarnaev casually strolls through the store, picking up an armload of snacks. Prosecutors also used ballistic evidence to link the brothers to the shooting of a campus cop at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a gunbattle with police in Watertown. Tamerlan Tsarnaev, 26, died as a result of that gunbattle. The defendant, allegedly attempting to run down police, instead ran over his brother in the stolen Mercedes. Jurors also viewed a boat in which Dzhokhar Tsarnaev sought refuge during the ensuing manhunt, which put Boston under a "shelter in place" lockdown. He used a pencil to scrawl what prosecutors called his "manifesto" on the sides of the boat. It was pocked with bullet holes and streaked with blood. He wrote he was jealous that his brother had achieved paradise by dying like a holy warrior in the gunbattle with police. He asked God to make him a martyr, too. Tsarnaev has pleaded not guilty, although his attorneys do not dispute that he participated in the bombings. Clarke asked jurors in her opening statement to keep their minds open to an alternative explanation. The defense began its case with two witnesses called to offer scenarios that differ from the version of events offered by FBI witnesses. One focused on the the defendant's Twitter posts a year before the marathon, including mundane matters such as whether he should sleep in or get breakfast. Another challenged the way the FBI used GPS points and store receipts to document the purchase of pressure cookers, BBs and ammunition -- allegedly by Tamerlan Tsarnaev. CNN's Aaron Cooper contributed to this story. | Defense in trial of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev rested after less than three days . Prosecution presented more than 90 witnesses over the course of a month . |

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)I can't remember exactly when my teenage fascination with computers collided with the federal government, but I will never forget the morning in 1983 when two FBI agents showed up on my parents' doorstep. I had gone to bed around 4 or 5 a.m. after spending hours on my computer, which was pretty common for me back then, at age 18. A few hours later, my mom woke me up telling me there were a couple of men here to see me and that they said something about it being official or federal business. I had a slight fear this day would come, because only a couple of days earlier, I had a strange call from a friend asking me what I would do if we were visited by the police or some type of investigation team. Two men sitting at my kitchen table pulled out badges and stated they were with the FBI. They said they needed to talk to me. Let me start with a little history: I got my first taste of computers in the mid-1970s in junior high school. We had a teletype terminal that had been brought to our school with an acoustic modem attached. We were shown how it worked and some of us had a chance to do some math testing. I did not get to use it the first time, but I stayed after school that evening to see if I could get a chance to try it out. The teacher dialed into the central office computer, logged in and started the math program. I felt like a new world opened for me. For the first time in my life, I saw something that made me imagine what I wanted to do when I grew up. That junior high school computer math program lead me to computer classes in high school. There, I learned of an Explorer Scout group sponsored by IBM. For the next couple of years I built a friendship with a group of people who had interests similar to mine -- some closer than others. We would play with computers at school, in Explorer Scouts, in stores like Radio Shack and at home. Finally in 1982, I bought my first computer. Some of my friends already had computers and now my time came and I finally got my own. I purchased a Heathkit H-89, which we built in a friend's basement. At the same time I also bought a Hayes 309 baud Smartmodem. I used my computer and modem to log onto electronic bulletin board systems, or BBS, and create more friendships and acquaintances. We were a curious group and we were eager to learn more and more about the different computers made and how they worked. We ended up getting into about a dozen computer systems -- from the Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York to a major international bank system in Los Angeles to the Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, one of only two U.S. laboratories dedicated to nuclear weapons research. We were really just looking around and playing games on these systems; we didn't want to harm anything. This was pretty easy because computers back then were built with a basic set of login information, all of it written in the manuals. We didn't see any harm in it. We would share information with each other about any particularly interesting system we connected to and, when we got together for Explorers, we'd talk about exploring, not harming systems. At some point, we started calling our group the "4-1-4s," a name we came up with after hanging out at a local park. We noticed etchings on the tables with numbers like 1-9 and 2-7, gang signatures that came from the streets where they operated. Since we all lived in the Milwaukee area, we more or less jokingly gave ourselves the gang name of 414s for the Milwaukee area code. As the months went on, we started to notice issues staying connected with our modems for any length of time. Then, the FBI showed up at my home. Remember, back then home computers were very new, so there were no computer hacking laws. After about a year of back and forth with the FBI, three of us were eventually charged under a federal provision against harassing phone calls, which carried a maximum of six months in prison and a $500 fine each. As I sat before the judge with my lawyer, he asked why he should not give me prison time. I had recently met the love of my life and we were expecting our first child. So I explained that I would like to be around to see the birth of my baby and live a happy and normal family life. The judge agreed to a plea deal with a stipulation that I could not own a modem during the time I remained on probation. Under the deal, we were charged with misdemeanors that carried two years' probation and a $500 fine. Our records would be expunged under the federal youth corrections act. Today, more than 30 years later, I'm still fascinated by computers: I'm employed as a network engineer and, at home, I tinker around on about half a dozen computers. Oh, and I'm still married to the love of my life. The things that we did set the stage for more than just our personal career paths: We helped create several federal laws that are still on the books for computer crime and password safety. It makes me proud as a network engineer working partially in security knowing that, in a way, what we did as a group made for safer computing today. There are still lots of issues with people using simple passwords, companies leaving too many doors open and just the massive amounts of computing power available to work on decoding and breaking into systems. We could have caused some damage to these companies and many were surprised that we just looked around and played games. Today, hacking is a whole different world. | As a teen, Timothy Winslow fell in love with exploring computer systems around the nation .

In the aftermath of Chelsea's Champions League exit to Paris St Germain, former Liverpool manager and current Sky Sports pundit Souness was highly critical of them, referring to some of Chelsea's actions as 'pathetic'. He continued his complaints, with Mourinho responding in a press conference on Friday, calling the Scot a 'frustrated man'. Graeme Souness labelled Chelsea's gamesmanship during PSG defeat as 'pathetic' The Sky Sports pundit, pictured with Thierry Henry (right), has refused to back down over criticism . Using his hands to gesture, Mourinho raised his left hand above his head to illustrate Souness' high level as a player and whacked his left on a low desk to signify his own career. When it came to management, the Portuguese's right hand was raised high and his left, for Souness' management career, wavered just above the desk. Mourinho said: 'The difference between me and Souness is this - Souness as a player, up there. Jose Mourinho as a player, down here. Jose Mourinho as a manager, up here. Souness as a manager, down there. 'With another difference: I was not a frustrated man because I was not a top player. He is clearly a frustrated man.' Blues manager Jose Mourinho responded by saying Souness is 'a frustrated man' Nine Chelsea players surrounded the referee to demand that Zlatan Ibrahimovic (not pictured) was sent off . Diego Costa trains at Cobham ahead of Chelsea's Premier League clash with Southampton on Sunday . But writing in the Sunday Times, Souness was sticking to his guns. 'He had his say about me at his press conference on Friday and he is entitled to his opinion, but it won't change mine,' he said. 'When he reflects on what went wrong against PSG and addresses it , I hope - yet doubt - that will include the obsession with gamesmanship. 'It seemed more important to Chelsea than getting on the ball and taking on PSG in a game of football, which they were more than capable of winning. They are a far better team than they showed. Getting the opposition booked by their excessive reaction to fouls became their priority. I was angered and saddened by that approach.'

Meanwhile, Blues midfielder Nemanja Matic has spoken about his sending off for pushing Burnley's Ashley Barnes. Matic served a two-match ban - which included the Capital One Cup Final - for his reaction to a challenge from the Burnley striker which Mourinho referred to a 'criminal'. Speaking to a number of national newspapers, Matic said: 'Of course my reaction was not good but this reaction was because I thought that I break a leg.

Given a reference text about the Kwahu Plateau, tell me its average and highest elevations. | The Kwahu Plateau is a 260 km (160 mi) long plateau in southern Ghana. It consists of the uplifted southern edge of the Volta River Basin. It forms the main watershed of Ghana, separating rivers in the Volta River system from rivers in the western half of Ghana which flows into the Atlantic Ocean (Birim, Pra, Ankobra). The plateau has an average elevation of 1,500 feet and its highest point is Mount Akmawa at 2,586 feet. The plateau is dissected by several valleys and is marked by towering peaks. To the south it borders dense forest country, which it shields from the harmattan winds of the interior. Cacao cultivation has been introduced in the west, through which traditional trade routes lead to the Atlantic; vegetable cultivation is stressed in the eastern sector. The largest and most important towns on the Kwahu Plateau are Wenchi, Mampong, Mpraeso, and Abetifi.[1 | The average and highest elevations of the Kwahu Plateau are 1,500 feet and 2,587 feet, respectively. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Jordan Henderson required a slice of luck after an uninspiring first half against Swansea, Jordi Amat’s sliding tackle sending the ball ricocheting on to his shin and ultimately looping beyond the reach of Lukasz Fabianski. But there has been nothing fortuitous about the manner of his improvement over the past two years. He has blossomed from a player talked about in the same breath as Andy Carroll and Charlie Adam - as examples of how Liverpool wasted the money from the sale of Fernando Torres - to England’s best midfielder. Liverpool have not lost any of the 15 games where their vice-captain has worn the armband this season, winning 12 and drawing three, proving himself in the dressing room and on the pitch a worthy successor to the departing Steven Gerrard. Jordan Henderson celebrates scoring against Swansea, the latest high point in his huge improvement . Henderson was almost sold to Fulham by Brendan Rodgers but is now England's best midfield option . The former Sunderland man was spoken about as a waste of money but is Steven Gerrard's successor now . An incredible unbeaten run in the league stretching back to December has put Liverpool just two points behind Manchester United in fourth and Henderson has been the key to their revival. Even when he is not playing well, as was the case against Swansea, the 24-year-old is a hub of industry, harrying the opposition and straining every sinew and devoting every ounce of energy to the cause. He also keeps popping up at the crucial moments - this was his third goal in as many games and a vital one which keeps the momentum going for his side. Sportsmail’s Jamie Carragher speaks of him as one of the best midfielders in the Barclays Premier League. Not bad for a bloke from Wearside who runs funny. Henderson was not even playing particularly well against Swansea but he made the difference for Liverpool . Liverpool have not lost any of the 15 games played by Henderson as captain in Gerrard's absence . Legendary Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson turned down the opportunity to sign Henderson . That was the assessment of none other than Sir Alex Ferguson, who wrote in his autobiography that Steve Bruce, then Henderson’s manager at Sunderland, recommended United sign the youngster. Ferguson declined citing Henderson’s gait ‘might cause him injuries later in his career'. Of course now he is just the sort of player Manchester United would want marshalling their midfield when the sides meet on Sunday in what could transpire to be pivotal in the race for the final Champions League spot. Henderson laughed off Ferguson’s mean observation, even taking it as a compliment that the pair were discussing him. Over his career so far, he has demonstrated an enviable resilience and a thick skin. When he first arrived at Anfield for £16million and failed to immediately deliver on the promise shown for boyhood club Sunderland he was widely, and understandably, maligned. Even Brendan Rodgers wanted to sell him to Fulham at one point. When he first arrived at Anfield, Henderson failed to immediately deliver on the promise shown at Sunderland . Ferguson turned down Henderson while he was at Sunderland but Manchester United could do with him now . Rodgers considered selling Henderson to Fulham but has been won round by the player's ambition . But Henderson won the Northern Irishman round with his desire and ambition and the two have struck up a good relationship. Henderson credits Rodgers' insistence that he work on his tactical nouse with his improvement. Gary Neville, who works closely with Henderson in the England set-up, has observed a big change in him in the last 12 months and praised his fanatical approach to working on set-pieces. ‘He has a massive conscience in terms of caring about his game and practising on the training ground,’ Neville said on Sky’s Monday Night Football. ‘I remember last year seeing a big change in him in terms of training and practising free-kicks and set pieces. Henderson poses with Charlie Adam, Kenny Dalglish, Alexander Doni and Stewart Downing (left to right) upon signing but in his early days at the club he was viewed as an example of Liverpool wasting money . Henderson is a leader in the dressing room at Liverpool, and with England, according to Gary Neville . The midfielder accepts the congratulations of his team-mates after a hard-fought win in Wales on Monday . ‘You saw him taking set-pieces with Steven Gerrard in the middle. Who would have thought that would happen two years ago? He is not frightened to pull people out and talk, that is why he has the captain’s armband. He is one of the leaders in the dressing room at Liverpool and he is the same with England.’ There may have been moments of luck along the way for Henderson but his story is one of perseverance and boundless improvement. Liverpool and England will hope there is even more to come. Henderson initially struggled to meet expectations at Liverpool but is now valuable for club and country .

What year did the trek in Finding Farley end? | Finding Farley is a 2009 documentary directed by Leanne Allison as she and her husband Karsten Heuer travel across Canada in the literary footsteps of the Canadian writer Farley Mowat.
Heuer, a biologist and author, had written a book on his experiences making the documentary Being Caribou, in which he and Allison traveled 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) by foot across Arctic tundra following a herd of 120,000 Porcupine caribou. After reading a draft of Heuer's account, Mowat invited them to visit him at his summer farm in Cape Breton Island.
Accompanied by their two-year-old son Zev and dog Willow, the couple left their home in Canmore in May 2007 for a 5,000 kilometres (3,100 mi), six-month trek east across Canada. From Canmore, 100 kilometres west of Calgary, they canoed to Hudson Bay, visiting many of the settings that Mowat wrote about in Never Cry Wolf, Lost in the Barrens and People of the Deer. From Hudson Bay, their plan was to travel by sea to northern Labrador, the setting of Mowat's stories such as The Serpent's Coil, Grey Seas Under, Sea of Slaughter and A Whale for the Killing. From Newfoundland and Labrador they planned a final journey by water, arriving at Cape Breton near the end of October. Finding Farley was the top film at the 2010 Banff Mountain Film Festival, receiving both the Grand Prize and People's Choice awards. | 2007. Started in May 2007 and lasted 6 months.

tell me about the whole world | "This Whole World" is a song by American rock band the Beach Boys from their 1970 album Sunflower. Written by Brian Wilson, the song features his brother Carl on lead vocals and is credited as a Beach Boys production. Earlier in the year, it had been included on the Warner Brothers promotional sampler album The Big Ball, and as a single, fronted with "Slip On Through", but did not make the U.S. or UK pop charts.
Background
Brian recalled writing "This Whole World" during one night at his Beverly Hills mansion when he was "stoned and confused". He stated that the song was written in approximately 90 minutes at around 2:00 a.m. "I got up and went to my white Baldwin organ and I was playing around and thinking about the love of this whole world and that’s what inspired me to write the song."
He also said of the song: "A very special vocal by Carl, and the lyrics are very spiritual. The melody and chord pattern rambles but it comes back to where it started." Regarding the lyrics, he said, "It’s about love in general. ... That song came from deep down in me, from the feeling I had that the whole world should be about love. When I wrote that song I wanted to capture that idea.'"
Composition
Biographer Mark Dillon characterized "This Whole World" as an "old-fashioned" rock song with "doo-wop trimmings" that contains an unorthodox structure and numerous key modulations. Musician Scott McCaughey said that the structure followed an A/B/C/A/B/C pattern, however, "it seems to never repeat itself once. Every section has something new and different going on." Musicologist Philip Lambert offered a summary of the song's exceptional "tonal transience":
First, a C-major phrase ends on IV, which becomes ♭VI in A, and then an A-major phrase ends on iii, which becomes a new i in C♯. This new phrase then moves through a diatonic bass descent from 1̂ to 5̂, eventually arriving at the key of B♭ using the same pivot relationship heard earlier between C and A (IV = ♭VI). Finally, the phrase in B♭ concludes on V, which is reinterpreted as IV to return to C major ...
In 1978, Beach Boys supporting keyboardist Daryl Dragon commented on the song's various key changes: "From a harmony standpoint, I've never heard a song like that since I've been in pop music. I've never heard a song go through that many changes and come back."
Recording
The track was recorded in one session on November 13, 1969 at Beach Boys Studio. According to Brian: "I produced that record. I taught Carl the lead and the other guys the background vocal, especially the meditation part at the end: 'Om dot dit it.'" The track originally ran "far longer" but was trimmed down. Brian later commented, "I remember 'This Whole World' took a couple of days to record. It took a lot of hard work to get that one but I’m real happy with it." Another version with an alternate ending was created for an Eastern Airlines commercial that the group briefly appeared in.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Leeds did it under Don Revie; Sir Alex Ferguson’s Manchester United side did it; Atletico Madrid under Diego Simeone do it. Many great sides have hounded and harassed referees over the years. It’s a characteristic at times of their determination to win and their unity. So when Chelsea surrounded referee Bjorn Kuipers to get Zlatan Ibrahimovic sent off on Wednesday it wasn’t something new, or a modern phenomenon that has been creeping up on us. It has nothing to do with foreign players and managers coming into the game. It’s been a part of English football for years. Having said that, now is the time to draw a line and punish teams that overstep the mark in this way, as I believe Chelsea did on Wednesday and I think it could be done with a simple amendment to the rules. Almost all the Chelsea squad surrounded referee Bjorn Kuipers after an incident at Stamford Bridge . If a referee feels that he is being aggressively hounded by a group of players he should have the power to reverse the decision and award the free kick the other way. So on Wednesday night, he could still have sent off Ibrahimovic if he really felt it was a red card offence but Chelsea would have lost the advantage of a free kick. It wouldn’t immediately cut out hounding refs but it would be a nudge in the right direction. Behaviour only changes if managers are encouraged to discipline their players. At the moment, it’s worthwhile clamouring round a referee to get a decision, so few coaches would discourage their players from doing so. However, if you felt that by hounding the referee, your team might lose a potential goal-scoring opportunity, because you would miss out on a free kick on the edge of the box, managers would soon start telling their players to exercise more restraint. And over-zealous appealing for penalties would stop pretty quickly. Imagine losing the chance to take a penalty kick because you had surrounded the referee. The manager would be furious. Referees are only human. Kuipers might have looked at the Ibrahimovic tackle and thought it was a 50-50 decision. But when you have 38,000 people screaming for the red card and then you have a group of players around demanding it too, all of that activity around him might make him feel it’s a 90 per cent decision. This tackle from PSG striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic sparked a furious reaction from Chelsea players . The Chelsea players surround referee Bjorn Kuipers at Stamford Bridge as he brandishes the red card . Chelsea captain John Terry (left) reacts after Zlatan Ibrahimovic's tackle on Oscar in the first-half . This would only be a small change in the rules but I believe it would make a massive change in behaviour over time. Certainly managers wouldn’t encourage their team to attempt to influence the referee in that way anymore because there would be an immediate punishment which could cost the team. It gives the referee a little bit more power and it would act as powerful disincentive. You could also apply the same rule of reversing the free kick if a player showed an imaginary card, trying to get an opponent booked or sent off. That would soon end what is an unsavoury practice. Another area which needs looking at is when a player marches towards a referee in an aggressive manner, forcing the referee to back off. It’s natural for players to complain when they feel aggrieved and when emotions are running high. But what is important is that we establish that exclusion zone around the referee where players won’t encroach. If someone is to complain, they can do so backing away from the referee, getting into position, not moving towards him. And if someone does need to go to referee, it should only be the captain. And when complaining they should show some respect for the personal space of the referee. John Terry (centre) led the protests as he screamed at the referee following Ibrahimovic's first-half challenge . Football is a physical game and that is part of its spectacle. I’ve no desire to curb the aggression of players when it’s directed in the right way. But referees need to be protected and their personal space needs to be almost sacrosanct. It’s important to draw a line and clearly state what is and isn’t acceptable. WHEN FRIDAY COMES, ENGLISH TEAMS CAN FEEL BENEFIT IN EUROPE . It has been an awful few weeks for English teams in Europe with only Everton thriving in the Europa League. Given the competitiveness of the Premier League you would imagine that our teams would be more than ready for this stage of the Champions League and Europa League, when the competitions step up a level. But the reverse seems to happening. The sheer competitiveness of the Premier League is leaving us short in these difficult games. Not only do we tend to have four teams who believe they can win the title, which is not the case in most of Europe’s other major leagues, but there is an increased level of intensity about all our games. Everton are progressing well in the Europa League as other English sides continue to struggle in Europe . Having played in France, I know that for Paris Saint-Germain, Marseille and Lyon there will only be a handful of games for which they need to be at their best. It’s not that it’s easy but going to the smaller French teams is not like going to Turf Moor to play Burnley or Loftus Road to play QPR, where the crowd is right on top of you and everyone is expecting the home side to put one over Chelsea or Manchester United. That’s not the case in France, and I’m not sure it is in Italy or Spain. Obviously Bayern Munich are utterly dominant in Germany at the moment, so there aren’t that many games where they need to be at the top level. Don’t forget that while our teams were playing five games in two weeks over Christmas, Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke were on a 40-day break. Arsenal endured a torrid Champions League 3-0 defeat against Monaco late last month . And while the Christmas break isn’t as long in France, Italy and Spain, it allows their players to relax get a couple of weeks in the sun. It’s ironic that the intensity and competitiveness of the Premier League, which is what has made it so successful, might now be damaging our performance in Europe and by extension damaging it’s reputation. However, there is an opportunity now to help English team in the Champions League. Jose Mourinho has long drawn attention to Spanish teams playing games on a Friday night if they have a Tuesday night Champions League game. The new £5.1billion TV deal — a mark of how popular the Premier League is — has provision for some Friday night games. The Premier League and TV companies should be looking at those Friday night games to see whether they can schedule teams competing in the Champions League. We need to give our teams every chance we can. After all, if Premier League clubs consistently fail in Europe, global audiences will begin to question just how good these clubs really are. Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers' side crashed of the Europa League to Besiktas in late February . GREAT TO LOOK BACK AT MY CAREER . I was really honoured a few months ago when Sky Sports asked if I would be the subject of a documentary covering my life in football. The result will be shown tonight on Sky Sports 1 and it’s been a trip down memory lane for me and a chance to reflect on my career. There are one or two things I hadn’t remembered, like the post-match interview I did after scoring on my league debut as an 18-year-old against Stoke in 1976. The collars on the shirt I was wearing — oh my word! They look like something Barry White might have turned down as excessive. Glenn Hoddle volleys in for Tottenham against Manchester United in 1979, his favourite goal he scored . And I’m pleased to say my Top of the Pops appearance singing Diamond Lights gets an outing — not that any of the musicians will be. It also gave me a chance to take another look at my favourite goal, the volley I scored for Tottenham against Manchester United from just inside the box in 1979. I’ve never taken drugs in my life but the feeling I had that day, with the adrenalin pumping through my body after scoring, is how I imagine it feels. I hope people enjoy watching the film as much as I did making it.

Weston, who turned 28 this week, was on board Benbane Head in the penultimate race of the day, the Fulke Walwyn Kim Muir Challenge Cup for amateur riders, when he fell at the fourth from home. Benbane Head was in the middle of the field, and the jockey appeared to be struck by several following horses. Tom Watson, pictured in 2010, was airlifted to hospital after he was kicked by horses . He was immediately treated by doctors before being taken to the course’s medical centre and then flown by air ambulance to Bristol’s Southmead Hospital. Cheltenham spokeswoman Sophia Brudenell said that he was conscious and breathing at the time, and that he was subject to ongoing assessment and treatment. Benbane Head is trained by Gloucestershire-based Martin Keighley, who said shortly afterwards: ‘Tom’s not quite with it at the moment, but at least he is conscious and he seems much better than he initially did.’ The accident caused a 15-minute delay to the running of the final race of the day, the St Patrick’s Derby, which is run in aid of the Injured Jockeys’ Fund. While the horse escaped unscathed, a further update on Weston’s condition is expected on Friday morning. Two years ago in the same race, leading amateur jockey JT McNamara, from Limerick, was left paralysed after suffering a serious neck injury when thrown from his horse, Galaxy Rock. McNamara fractured two vertebrae and underwent rehabilitation at the North West Regional Spinal Injuries Centre in Southport, Merseyside.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | When Gareth Bale scored in the final of the European Cup and the Spanish Cup in the same season last year, he did something for Real Madrid that only Raul and Ferenc Puskas had managed before him. We can be fairly sure that no one ever tried to kick Puskas’ 1959 Mercedes 180 as it pulled out of the club’s training ground. The same cannot be said for Bale’s white Bentley, which was attacked as he left Madrid’s Valdebebas training complex in the early hours of Monday morning after the Clasico. Gareth Bale has joined up with the Wales national team ahead of their upcoming match against Israel . Bale's car was attacked by angry Real Madrid fans following their 2-1 defeat by Barcelona on Sunday . The world's most expensive footballer was confronted by fans as he left the club's Valdebebas training base . The £86million signing's white Bentley is struck by this fan while others jeered Wales international Bale . Bale has struggled to replicate the form he had shown during his first season at Real Madrid . Bale would not expect to have earned the same level of respect as the ‘Galloping Major’, who won three European Cups and scored 156 league goals in 180 games, but he has four trophies in his first year-and-a-half at the club, so the animosity he has encountered is impossible to justify and hard to understand. ‘He scored the winner in the Spanish Cup final; he scored the winner in the Champions League final. He is already a Real Madrid legend,’ gushed Madrid sports daily Marca when Bale won the European Cup in Lisbon last May. Its rival publication in the Spanish capital, Diaro AS added: ‘Marcelo and (Cristiano) Ronaldo both scored afterwards but Bale’s was the winner because it was game-over after that.’ Those two publications have changed their tune 10 months on — dedicating pages to fan polls that call for the Welshman to be dropped. On Tuesday, 70 per cent of 8,000 supporters responding to one online survey said they wanted Bale left out of the team. There was no shortage of ammunition in the Madrid press, with statistics such as ‘he never set foot in the penalty area in the second half against Barca’ and ‘he only played seven passes after the break — just three more than Lucas Silva who came on three minutes from time’. The fan tries to give the car a kick as Bale pulls away and the abuse continues to be thrown his way in Spain . Bale and his Madrid team-mates lost 2-1 at the Nou Camp on Sunday night in a fiercely-contested El Clasico . An estimated 400 million people watched Bale struggle on television as Real moved four points behind Barca . Following the incidents that occurred involving three individuals in the early hours of Monday morning outside Ciudad Real Madrid, Real Madrid C. F. wishes to outline the following: . 1. The Club has already identified the individuals responsible, one a Real Madrid member, for these aggressive and violent actions against several of our players. 2. Details of this member's identity were sent to the Club's Discipline Commission, requesting that it expel the individual from Real Madrid for what is considered a very serious offence. 3. This afternoon, the Discipline Commission held an emergency meeting and decided to open a disciplinary investigation and provisionally suspend the individual's rights as a member and access to the Santiago Bernabéu or any Real Madrid facilities. 4. Real Madrid has notified Spain's National Anti-Violence Commission of the incidents that took place, as well as the identities of the individuals responsible, requesting that it apply those sanctions that it considers appropriate. 5. Furthermore, Real Madrid will take any applicable legal action against the individuals responsible for these incidents. All this supposedly supports the theory that Bale is in decline. But behind the numbers the story is a little more complicated than his critics care to admit. Bale came back to pre-season training in peak physical condition last summer and was comfortably the club’s best player on the tour of the US, scoring in friendlies against Manchester United and Inter Milan. When Real Madrid went on a run of 22 straight wins, Bale scored in the 5-1 win over Basle that began that hot streak, he got two in the next game that saw them beat Deportivo 8-2 and netted again in the 5-1 win over Cordoba that followed. But a thigh injury suffered in October saw him miss three weeks of the season and in his absence Carlo Ancelotti fielded a midfield quartet of James Rodriguez, Toni Kroos, Luka Modric and Isco. And that is where many of his current problems began. Bale has been criticised by Real supporters despite winning four trophies since joining the club in 2013 . Bale followed in the footsteps of former Real Madrid duo Ferenc Puskas (left) and Raul by scoring in the final of the European Cup and the Spanish Cup during the same season . The Wales international took his anger out on a corner flag after netting a brace against Levante on March 15 . Real Madrid superstar Bale (right) will be hoping to lead Chris Coleman's Wales to Euro 2016 . Wales, who are currently just one point behind Group B leaders Israel, need Bale to be firing on all cylinders . The team kept winning and with the four passing midfielders the football resembled that played by Pep Guardiola’s Barcelona which many Madrid followers had spent so long envying. The purists loved it and they also loved Isco’s part in it — a Malaga lad who felt like one of their own. Bale came back into the team and his part in the club’s historic run picked up where it had left off, scoring in the 2-0 win over San Lorenzo that made Real Madrid world club champions in December. But when the run came to an end in their next competitive game against Valencia, the season began to unravel and he became the scapegoat. In the defeat by Valencia he was blamed for squandering a late chance and ignoring Karim Benzema’s screams for a pass. The idea that he should make way for Isco now went hand in hand with the theory that he was selfish. Ronaldo did him no favours in the next game when he very publicly chastised him for shooting instead of passing late in a match against Espanyol. ‘Puta’ (f***!) shouted the Portuguese throwing his arms down in disgust. Bale’s every touch from there on in was whistled, despite the fact that he had scored direct from a free-kick earlier in the game — something that Ronaldo hasn’t done now in over 50 attempts. The under-current of competition between Bale and Ronaldo is another factor. It is no secret that president Florentino Perez sees Bale as Ronaldo’s eventual successor both on the pitch as a match winner and off it as a big-money contract winner. Cracks appear to be appearing in Bale's relationship with Real Madrid team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo . Bale and his girlfriend Emma Rhys-Jones must decide where their young daughter goes to school . Ronaldo is not enamoured with the idea of being replaced by anyone and, despite the fact Bale lives in the same luxury ‘La Finca’ neighbourhood as Ronaldo, there is not the closeness between the two that has developed at Barcelona between Neymar and Lionel Messi. When Ronaldo threw a party for his 30th birthday, Bale was invited but did not attend — perhaps wisely, considering the fall-out that followed the festivities, coming as they did on the day of a 4-0 Madrid-derby defeat. Bale’s partner Emma Rhys-Jones lives with him in Madrid although, with a young daughter Alba-Violet not yet three years of age, frequent trips can be made back to Wales. At some point in the future a decision will have to be made about schools. And he will need to be a sure that Madrid is the right city to justify putting down deeper roots. He says he barely noticed the thugs who tried to kick his car as he drove away from the training ground at 1.30am on Monday. But how long before the lack of respect from supporters, commentators and at times even team-mates begins to take its toll? Tuesday marked 10 months to the day since Madrid won the Champions League and Bale arrived back in the city at 4.30am to be greeted by an open-top bus that took him through streets filled with jubilant supporters.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)ISIS has again destroyed cultural treasures, this time bulldozing the site of the ancient Assyrian city of Nimrud in northern Iraq, the nation's Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities said. "ISIS continues to defy the will of the world and the feelings of humanity," the ministry said in a statement. "They violated the ancient city of Nimrud and bulldozed its ancient ruins." The extent of the damage wasn't immediately clear, according to Iraqi state broadcaster Iraqiya TV. "Our ministry condemns these criminal acts," the statement said. "Letting these lost gangs go without punishment will encourage them to destroy humanity's civilization, the Mesopotamian civilization, inflicting irreversible priceless damages and losses." Photos: Precious monuments lost in conflicts . Nimrud was a city in the Assyrian kingdom, which flourished between 900 B.C. and 612 B.C. The archaeological site is south of Mosul in northern Iraq. The razing of Nimrud comes a week after a video showed ISIS militants using sledgehammers to obliterate stone sculptures and other centuries-old artifacts in the Mosul Museum. That museum held 173 original pieces of antiquity and was being readied for reopening when ISIS invaded Mosul in June, according to Qais Hussain Rashid, the antiquities ministry's director general of Iraqi museums, who spoke to Iraqiya TV last week. Nimrud and nearby Nineveh are the sites where two Assyrian kings, Sennacherib (704-681 B.C.) and Ashurnasirpal II (883-859 B.C.), recorded successful military campaigns on the walls of their palaces, according to the World Monuments Fund, a group dedicated to saving the world's most treasured places. "Depicted in the reliefs are marauding troops in foreign lands, rendered in a style marked by lively action and attention paid to topographic and ethnographic detail," the fund's website says. "The palaces of Sennacherib at Nineveh and Ashurnasirpal II at Nimrud are vestiges of the political, cultural and artistic height of the Assyrian Empire. The remains of these palaces, the only Assyrian palaces left preserved and decorated with reliefs, are now protected against vandals and function as site museums where visitors can appreciate ancient wall reliefs in their original setting," the fund said in a website posting before this week's ISIS assault on Nimrud. King Ashurnasirpal II made Nimrud the royal seat and the military capital of Assyria, Encyclopedia Britannica's website says. Buildings at Nimrud "have yielded thousands of carved ivories, mostly made in the 9th and 8th centuries B.C., now one of the richest collections of ivory in the world," the encyclopedia says. ISIS has destroyed other ancient and deeply meaningful sites in Iraq. Officials have said ISIS has blown up shrines such as the tomb of Jonah.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)They say time and tide wait for no man, as Henrik Stenson discovered at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in Florida when he complained he had been decisively rushed after being put on the clock in the closing stages of his dramatic defeat. The Swede -- who lost to defending champion Matt Every by one stroke -- was ticked off that he and playing partner Morgan Hoffman were subjected to time constraints from the 15th hole onwards because of alleged slow play Sunday. Under competition rules, players are put on the clock if they have fallen behind the allotted time for each hole and well behind the preceding group of players. Once the measure is imposed, shots are timed and players given a one-stroke penalty for the second shot -- but not the first -- on which they are found to have taken too long. Stenson said the decision "got to me, and obviously I was rushing" as he three-putted both that hole and the 16th, opening the door for Floridian Every to seal the title with a round of 66 crowned by a long-range putt on the final green. Officials at the Bay Hill course said Stenson and Hoffmann's had been the slowest pairing of the day Sunday. But the frustrated 38-year-old Swede said he "could not see the point" of being put on the clock. "When someone is sitting there with a stopwatch it affects you a little bit," he explained, accusing officials of "influencing, potentially, the outcome of this tournament towards the end." "I didn't really have much time to look at my putt [on the 15th] and rushed that one a little bit, the first one, and three-putted," the PGA Tour website quoted him as saying. "Morgan got a bad time on his second shot on 16, and again I kind of rushed my putting on 16 and three-putted that one. That's really what cost me the tournament, those two three-putts on 15 and 16. "We might have been a couple minutes out, for sure -- but then again it's normally not the quickest when you're playing in the last group. "[There are] more people, more movement. You have to back off every now and then for some mobile phones and stuff like that." The PGA Tour was not immediately available for comment about Stenson's remarks. Stenson told reporters that "it's hard when you don't feel like you can take the time you want," adding that he was "disappointed with the rules official for pushing us up late in the round for no obvious reason." And he was unimpressed when told that part of the reason for the imposition of the ticking clock could have been a desire to complete play before live TV coverage came to an end at 18.00 local time. "I thought we were here to play golf, not to finish at 6pm," he snapped. Meanwhile, a delighted Every was left to reflect on the 17ft birdie putt on the final green that took him to the title. "You watch tournaments on TV where guys make putts like that to win and everybody goes nuts -- it's cool to close one out like that," he said. | Swede and Morgan Hoffman subjected to time constraints from 15th hole .

Give me two examples of an Act of independent significance. Separate them in a list. | The doctrine of acts of independent significance at common law permits a testator to effectively change the disposition of his property without changing a will, if acts or events changing the disposition have some significance beyond avoiding the requirements of the will.
The doctrine is frequently applied under the following two circumstances:
The testator devises assets to a class of beneficiaries where the testator controls membership. For example, Joey leaves the contents of his bank account "to my employees." If Joey then fires some of old employees and hires new ones, the new employees will inherit the contents of the bank account under this provision.
The testator devises a general type of property, and then changes the specific items of property within that category. For example, Joey writes in his will, "I leave my car to Rachel". Joey drives a 1974 AMC Gremlin at the time of the testamentary instrument, but later sells the Gremlin and purchases a 2016 Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupé with suicide doors and teak paneling. Because Joey bought a new car to get a more comfortable ride, rather than to change a will without going through the testamentary formalities, the gift to Rachel remains enforceable. | - Joey leaves the contents of his bank account "to my employees."

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Australian cricket great Shane Warne has been criticized for promoting an unhealthy drinking culture, following post-match interviews at cricket's World Cup final in which he repeatedly quizzed players about their drinking plans. Acting as part of the commentary team for Australian broadcaster Channel Nine, Warne interviewed the victorious Australian players at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in the wake of their comfortable win over New Zealand. Broadcast live and amplified throughout the stadium, the exchanges -- in which Warne seemed preoccupied with how much the players planned to drink -- prompted a backlash on social media using the hashtag "#thirsty." To wicketkeeper Brad Haddin, Warne asked: "You feeling thirsty?" He continued the theme with Steve Smith, asking: "What about you, gonna have a bit of a drink tonight too Smitty? Gonna get thirsty as well? The boys are thirsty they seem." Shane Watson and Josh Hazlewood were subjected to a similar line of questioning: . "So what's the plan, besides lots of drink and that, how long's that gonna last? Just one night, two nights?" asked Warne. The comments sparked an immediate reaction on Twitter, with users criticizing Warne for setting a poor example to young cricket fans, and one labeling him a "bogan" -- Australasian slang for an unsophisticated person -- for his line of questioning. Some Twitter users played on Warne's publicized fondness for the Tinder dating app, which has seen the former cricketer hit the headlines in recent times. Not all responses were critical, with British journalist Piers Morgan among those coming to Warne's defense. Warne, a noted bon vivant who was often photographed with drink in hand after wins during his playing days, took to Twitter to tell his detractors to "get stuffed." Warne's interviews provoked further discussion on Australian television Monday when, on the "Today" show, Channel Nine presenter David Campbell criticized the example he set. "I hate this," he said. "There is a stadium full of young men and women who look up to these guys, and it would have been nice if one of those cricketers was accountable enough to say 'Nothing will be better than what I did on this field, Warnie'." "We can't sit around here... going 'We have a drinking problem' and then sit there and celebrate that." The boozy indiscretions of professional athletes often make the news in Australia, although players from the footballing codes of rugby union, rugby league and Australian rules are more commonly in the spotlight. Members of the successful Australian team partied late into the night Sunday, with coach Darren Lehmann tweeting a picture of team members celebrating in their uniforms as the sun came up, with drinks in hand. Warne's inquiries about the team's plans to celebrate were apparently not in vain. At about 3 a.m. he posted a picture on Instagram of himself holding the World Cup trophy alongside Australian captain Michael Clarke, the latter with a drink at his side. | Australian cricket legend Shane Warne is criticized for post-match interview questions .

What is photosynthesis? | Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities. Some of this chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars and starches, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phōs (φῶς), "light", and synthesis (σύνθεσις), "putting together". Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.
Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centers that contain green chlorophyll (and other colored) pigments/chromophores. In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, which are most abundant in leaf cells, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane. In these light-dependent reactions, some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances, such as water, producing oxygen gas. The hydrogen freed by the splitting of water is used in the creation of two further compounds that serve as short-term stores of energy, enabling its transfer to drive other reactions: these compounds are reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the "energy currency" of cells. | Photosynthesis is

Where is Smuggler Cove Shell Midden located? | The Smuggler Cove Shell Midden (Smithsonian trinomial: 35TI46) is an archeological site located in Oswald West State Park near Neahkahnie Beach, Oregon, United States. First documented by archeologists in 1976, the midden has been found to contain remains of mussels, barnacles, and chiton to a depth of approximately 30 centimeters (12 in). Radiocarbon dating of a single sample of shell debris indicates that the Smuggler Cove campsite was occupied around 1660 CE, approximately the same date as the supposed wreck of a European ship at nearby Nehalem Spit, suggesting the site may preserve information from both before and after first contact between local people and Europeans. The site has been heavily damaged by construction of recreational facilities and coastal erosion, but a significant portion remains with potential to contribute to future research. Data generated from the site may help answer questions related to environmental change in the Oregon Coast region, settlement and subsistence patterns, emergence of ethnographic patterns among coastal people, the change in cultural patterns from before to after contact with European Americans, and other topics. | Smuggler Cove shell Midden is located in Oswald West State Park near Neahkahnie Beach in Oregon, United States. |
Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | Snooker champion Stephen Hendry has won a five-year battle with his neighbours to build 11 luxury homes in his back garden . Snooker champion Stephen Hendry has won a five-year battle with his neighbours to build 11 luxury homes in the back garden of his mansion – just a stone's throw from Gleneagles. The seven-times world champion, 46, is set to build a multi-million pound housing development on land currently used as a horse paddock and stables on his Perthshire country estate. He and neighbour Alexander Birnie teamed up to apply for permission to build 11 new homes less than two miles from the world-famous course at Gleneagles. But the move upset residents in the upmarket village who voiced fears that it will invade their privacy and spoil the natural beauty of the area. The Auchterarder development was originally given the go-ahead in 2012 but construction never started because of the decline in the housing market. Renewed plans were submitted to Perth and Kinross Council last month by Mr Birnie's company Craigmount Developments and they have now been given the green light. Drawings submitted in 2011 for a planned house on Mr Hendry's land show a large four-bedroom property. The proposed house has a massive snooker room at the rear as well as a studio, a TV room, a drawing room and a built-in garage. Mr Hendry left the family home last year after splitting from his wife Mandy, but he still owns the land. The couple moved into the turreted five-bedroom mansion in 1996 after paying £300,000 and they carried out extensive renovations. They rented the house out for rumoured five-figure sum during the golf tournament. Council planners approved the application after finding it complied with the local development plan and that there were no 'material considerations' to justify refusal. The snooker player and his neighbour Alexander Birnie teamed up to apply for permission to build 11 new homes less than two miles from the world-famous course at Gleneagles, pictured are planned new homes . In an objection letter sent to the council, neighbour Colin Campbell said: 'You have requested comments from property owners bordering this development. What is the point? 'Your department has already rubber-stamped every housing development plan for Auchterarder in recent years. 'Bett Homes, Cala, Robertson Homes, Muir Homes, Milne Homes etc together will build in excess of 1,000 new homes. 'When occupied this will double the population of Auchterarder with little or no consideration given by you to the impact of schooling, town parking, medical facilities or shopping facilities. 'This application is yet another example of a developer squeezing many properties onto a small plot.' Another neighbour said: 'I am concerned about the loss of privacy this would cause and because it spoils the status quo. 'The area is absolutely beautiful in terms of the visibility I have right up to the Grampians and we thought we were very lucky to find this house. 'I'm not surprised our concerns have been ignored. I don't have much faith in the system.' Drawings submitted in 2011 for a planned house on Mr Hendry's land show a large four-bedroom property with a large snooker room . Mr Hendry left the family home last year after splitting from his wife Mandy, but he still owns the land (pictured together with their oldest son Blaine in 1999) Last year, it was reported that the father-of-two, who has estimated £11 million fortune, left his wife and moved to England with 26-year-old actress Lauren Thundow. Mrs Hendry, 46, has launched divorce proceedings against him at Liverpool County Court. Following their split Mandy said: 'I am heartbroken Stephen has made the decision to leave the marital home and relocate to England for a new relationship.' Mr Hendry, widely regarded as the greatest ever snooker player, retired from competitive sport in 2012 and now works as a BBC pundit and as an ambassador for the sport.

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)Madonna, saying something controversial? Perish the thought. The object of her scorn fighting back? Of course. The mayor of Rochester, Michigan, has written an open letter to the venerable pop star, taking her to task for saying she never wanted to go back the town where she went to high school. "I can't be around basic, provincial-thinking people," she told Howard Stern last week on his SiriusXM satellite radio program. You could almost hear the steam coming out of Mayor Bryan Barnett's ears. "It's like someone calling one of your kids ugly," the Detroit Free Press quoted Barnett as saying. "You're not going to let that go by without a response." In his letter, published Monday in the Free Press, Barnett said the city's recent achievements are anything but provincial. "Our school district is one of the top performing in the state and boasts two Blue Ribbon Schools, the most in Michigan. Our Universities are among the fastest growing in the Midwest and are rich with cultural and ethnic diversity," he wrote. Buying Madonna's house: A tale of fame and misfortune . "We design and build more robots than any other city in North America, and Rochester Hills residents and businesses have been granted over 900 patents, nearly one a day, over the last three years. Not a typical achievement you would associate with 'simple or basic' people," he wrote. He also noted the city was also named one of the 10 best places to live by Money magazine. "We are many things, Madonna, but basic and provincial minded we are not!" Barnett wrote. "I invite you back to Rochester Hills to see who we are and what we believe in. While we certainly don't need your stamp of approval, I am quite confident we would earn it." Not surprisingly, some Rochester Hills citizens weren't thrilled with Madonna's comments. "Makes me proud to live in Rochester Hills after reading this letter to Madonna by @MayorBarnett," Twitter user LoganBrown97 wrote. And although Madonna hasn't responded to the fracas, she of course found some defenders on social media. "Why is everyone mad Madonna said Rochester was basic?" Twitter user itsleah wrote. "It IS basic. I thought that was the appeal? Small towns AREN'T for everyone, dummies." Of course, Madonna is no stranger to controversy, and she's angered organizations a lot bigger and more powerful than Rochester City Hall. Remember the 1980s, when her "Like a Prayer" video angered the Catholic church? Or the 1990s, when it seemed a camera couldn't turn her direction without capturing simulated masturbation? Then there was last year, when she had to backtrack after posting an Instagram photo of her son boxing, captioned with a take on the N-word. And in January, some took offense after she posted photos of civil rights icons altered to appear like the cover of her new album. Heck, this isn't even the the first time the singer has dissed a place where she grew up. In a 1987 interview with Jane Pauley, she called Bay City, Michigan, where she was born, a "little smelly town in northern Michigan." A few moments later, Madonna followed up by saying she had "great affection" for the place. So far, no such love for Rochester Hills.

'The thrill this horse gave me, I'll miss riding horses like this, the ones that run away with you and jump like stags. It has to happen at some point. It's a bit sad, but we will worry about it this time next year.' A message on the giant screen pays tribute to McCoy who has just one day of his final Festival left .

McCoy with Uxizandre in the winners' enclosure after opening his Cheltenham Festival account this year . McCoy said the fact he still has rides ahead of him is keeping his emotions in check, but that the 2016 festival may be a different story. 'It's going to affect me more next year than this year, because I am still riding. This time next year I am going to miss it - I am missing it already and I haven't stopped yet,' he continued. 'He stuck at it well and it's days like this I am going to miss.' McCoy's family were waiting in the winner's enclosure and while simultaneously thrilled and emotional after the rider's win, his father, Peadar said: 'I hope he gets another one!' JP McManus, to whom McCoy has enjoyed such a fantastic association as retained jockey, said: 'I admire all the jockeys, but AP is some man. Christy Roche rang me some years ago and said "he should be handicapped, not the horses" and I've always remembered that. 'We've never signed a contract or anything. I respect him and love everything he does.' When asked how he would replace McCoy, he said: 'We've had him cloned.' King said: 'He's always been a very good horse but we just lost him a little bit in mid-winter on the heavy ground. 'We hoped that back up to two and a half miles on better ground was the key and my goodness he can go some pace.

'It's huge for the whole team and I'm delighted to part of the whole AP thing as well. The horses have been running well all week, but there's nothing like a winner here. 'It's the only way to ride him, to let him bowl along and we wanted to see if he was a Queen Mother horse earlier in the season. 'To be fair, AP said at halfway he was wishing he'd run in the Queen Mother as he didn't think he'd last home but it was only last year he was narrowly beaten here in the JLT and then won a Grade One at Aintree. 'Spring ground helps and some of his jumps today were breathtaking. 'We'll not see AP's like again, the winners, the dedication - I'm just delighted to have played a small part in it.' Of Ma Filleule, Anthony Bromley, representing owners Simon Munir and Isaac Souede, said: 'She ran a brilliant race and I'm delighted for the connections of the winner as he's an ex-Million In Mind horse and I think the visor has probably helped him. 'Our mare ran great race and assuming she's OK, we'll aim towards the Bowl back over three miles at Aintree.' | Champion jockey AP McCoy is riding in his final Cheltenham Festival .

Given the below context. Generate a summary of the text | (CNN)As a well-traveled photographer, Pieter ten Hoopen is no stranger to refugee camps. But he never experienced any like the Mayo camp, which is outside the Sudanese capital of Khartoum. Ten Hoopen was at the camp to photograph a new medical clinic for Emergency, a humanitarian group from Italy. He also hoped to document what life was like for refugees there. His hopes were dashed, however, when he was told he couldn't photograph outside the hospital compound. "I had very, very hard restrictions from the Sudanese government. ... They are very well-skilled in keeping the media at bay," ten Hoopen said. With no freedom of movement, much like the refugees themselves, ten Hoopen resorted to an old trick he had used before while traveling in Africa. With the help of refugee hospital workers, he built a makeshift photo studio using hospital bed sheets and other materials available. The studio quickly became a sensation. Once hospital employees volunteered to have their photo taken, lines of refugees began snaking around the hospital grounds waiting to have their portraits taken. One by one, these people sat solemnly to be photographed. It was their time to be acknowledged. There was gravity, earnestness to the way they posed. This was the moment their story would be registered. "This was one of the reasons why I built the studio: to get more material and more narratives from the people," ten Hoopen said. The project quickly became a catalog of the history and identity of the refugees. The photos span several generations -- some of the subjects were born at the refugee camp, some have been there for decades. Women wearing the traditional Sudanese tobe spell out their class and origin by the way it is wrapped. From the Muslim north, women are fully covered -- a contrast to women from the Christian south, who we also see represented in these photos. Whether from Sudan, South Sudan or Eritrea, the faces become, individually and collectively, a portrait of the endless wars that have shaped the Horn of Africa. Social media .

The word refugee often conjures up images of faceless crowds fleeing conflict, their existence only registered in terms of statistics and graphs. Ten Hoopen wanted to give his subjects the ability to express themselves freely. "They got very serious, they sat down upright. ... I tried to say as little as possible," he said. "I do believe in their own expressions, their own narrative ... and their unique perspective." The studio had a comforting effect. It was a haven from the hustling and bustling of the camp hospital. It gave the photographer an opportunity to meet his subject matter eye to eye, giving each person their deserved attention. Aesthetically, it created an aura around each person, beaming light on his or her personal narrative. It had some uplifting effects as well. "I always try to put some extra thought to (projects). So I build classic photo studios like they have in any small towns in the African continent or in Europe ... just to give people a little bit of the feeling they are special for a short time and that someone really photographs them in an official way," ten Hoopen said. He said some patients at the hospital "had being laying there for months in their room. ... Then you take them out, it's a little treat to get them out of their own misery. ... That's why you see the line growing, because they see people laughing when they come out of the studio." Ten-month-old Buseiwa was not laughing when she entered the studio. Having just had a blood test for malaria, she clearly looked uneasy. Gazing to someone who is holding her hand, her eyes connect with this parental figure as a source of strength. Hawa Haranan, 40, came from the war-torn Darfur region before getting a job as a cleaner at the hospital. As she wears a simple tobe, one can almost see the emotions behind her leonine stare. Her life and struggle, as with the other individuals photographed, is accounted for with the testimony of a camera. Ten Hoopen used tilt-shift lenses, which are normally used with the large-format cameras used in classic photography. "I really can appreciate old portraiture ... when people got their portrait taken in a way that was loaded, I think, with respect and it was a very serious moment," he said. "It's a slow way of working where you have to put all your focus into one person sitting in front of you." How did ten Hoopen gain the trust of so many uneasy refugees, some severely traumatized and living in fear? "It wasn't hard," he said. "I just told them to relax and have fun. "Kids sometimes got nervous, and I don't blame them. I am a tall, white, bald European guy. ... I am not only funny to look at, but it is hot in that country so I am usually very red when I am photographing. ... I have tattoos everywhere. ... They thought I was a quite interesting creature."
