<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>A woman filmed licking a tub of ice cream and returning it to a grocery store shelf in a viral video last week is facing up to 20 years in prison, police said Thursday. The footage which has been viewed more than 11 million times shows the so-far unnamed woman opening a container, running her tongue across the ice cream then laughing as she places the violated dessert back in the freezer, in a branch of Walmart in the city of Lufkin, eastern Texas. Police said on Wednesday they believed they had identified the suspect after "detectives had obtained surveillance video placing a woman matching the suspect description in the Lufkin store on June 28 around 11 p.m." They are waiting to finally verify her identity before issuing an arrest warrant. Police also want to speak to the man she was with, who is thought to have filmed the incident and can be heard encouraging the woman to "lick it, lick it." She could face a second-degree felony charge of tampering with a consumer product, the Lufkin police department said in an email statement to NBC News. The charge comes with a two- to 20-year prison term and up to $10,000 in fines, according to Texas state penal code . Investigators are also in discussions with the FDA and additional federal charges could be made. "Our detectives are working to verify the identity of the female suspect before a warrant is issued for her arrest on a charge of second-degree felony tampering with a consumer product," a police spokesperson said. "As that portion of the investigation continues, detectives are focusing on identifying the male (in the green shirt) behind the camera seen in images of the two entering the store together." Police added that detectives will continue to work through the Fourth of July holiday on the case. The search to determine exactly where the incident took place sparked an investigation spanning from San Antonio to Houston, police said on Facebook . Blue Bell Creameries, the local manufacturer of the ice cream brand the woman licked, has called the incident a "malicious act of food tampering." All tubs containing the mix of creamy vanilla ice cream with swirls of chocolate fudge and dark-chocolate-covered roasted peanuts have been removed from the store's shelves as a precaution, the company said. The specific carton believed to be compromised was found among the lot. In an earlier statement, the company explained that its cartons are frozen upside down in production, which creates a natural, tight seal by freezing the lid to the tub, meaning consumers would notice if any tampering occurred upon opening a fresh tub.[/INST]Ice cream licking suspect faces felony charges</s> |

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>During its 135-year history, the massive red-brick mansion on St. Paul's iconic Summit Avenue has been many things -- a home to titans of industry, a nunnery, a would-be hotel and even a designer showcase house. Most recently, it's been home to Susan and Tom Handley, who bought the place in 2013. "My husband loved the look of this house -- regal -- it has the widest presence on the avenue," Susan said. "It was not water-tight or critter-free," she recalled of its condition when they bought it. "But such a beautiful house deserved to be restored." The Handleys undertook a massive restoration to update the home for modern living. They reconfigured and refreshed interior spaces, creating a modern owners' suite with a luxurious bath and sauna. They also updated the mechanicals and systems, making the house water-tight and energy-efficient, with spray-foam insulation. The kitchen, which had been wedged into an old butler's pantry because the original kitchen was in the basement, was gutted, opened to the breakfast room and transformed into a culinary showplace. It boasts a walk-in pantry, dual sinks, dishwashers and Wolf ovens, plus cherry cabinets and Cararra marble countertops. "It's spectacular," said Susan. Armed with the original blueprints, the Handleys took pains to maintain the home's character. "I tried to give a nod to history," Susan said. "We did a lot of scavenging at estate sales." Their home's history is long and rich. Built in 1884 for Frederick Driscoll, owner of the St. Paul Pioneer Press, it's the work of two renowned architects. Driscoll commissioned William Willcox, who designed Macalester College's Old Main, to design the original Queen Anne Victorian. Then in 1900, Driscoll sold the house to lumber baron Frederick Weyerhaeuser, who later hired Emmanuel Masqueray, architect for the St. Paul Cathedral, to design a large addition with Beaux Arts influences. The 11,000-square-foot house was given to Macalester College in the 1950s, then sold to the Boy Scout Council. During that era, some scouts discovered a wall safe full of jewelry. "Being Boy Scouts, they returned it," said Susan, to the Frederick Weyerhaeuser family. For almost two decades from the mid-'60s to the mid-'80s, the Catholic Church owned the house and housed French nuns there. Later someone tried to turn it into an executive-suite hotel. The permits were rescinded -- but not before the addition of five en suite bathrooms on the third floor, bringing the bathroom total to 12. The house has been vacant, and it's been a multifamily home, according to Susan. It was back in single-family ownership in 2001, the year Twin Cities interior designers chose it to be their showcase home. Many designer enhancements from that event remain, including a bedroom that was turned into a home theater with padded soundproof walls, and another that was transformed into a workout room with a cork floor and a fanciful art mural. The Handleys added a temperature-controlled wine cellar and the secret room, hidden behind a bookcase on casters. Now Tom Handley, who recently retired as president and chief operating officer at Ecolab, has taken a job in Seattle, so the couple has put the house on the market for $1.7 million. "It's hard to leave, now that we've got it the way we want it," Susan said. "The house is so embracing, so happy. It's huge but it lives very modern and cozy -- family-friendly." The Handleys have enjoyed hosting family, friends and nonprofit organizations' events in their historic home. "I love opening the house and sharing it with people," said Susan. "It's beautiful and deserved to be saved and shared."

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>LYON, France (AP) After collecting five goals in her first game, Alex Morgan is getting a lot of attention at the Women's World Cup from defenders. The U.S. forward has been shut down scoring-wise ever since her splash in the opener, as opponents have honed in on her, often with physical play. But that's just allowed her to emphasize other aspects of her game. Morgan said each match in France has "presented itself in a different way." "Naturally as a No. 9 I'm going to be plowed through quite often. I understand that comes along with the job and it happens many times, in the NWSL and even in friendlies," she said, referring to the U.S. domestic league. "So I wouldn't say it's necessarily more physical in general at this World Cup, I would just say it just comes with the territory." Morgan and the top-ranked United States play No. 3 England on Tuesday in the semifinals. Sweden will play the Netherlands the next day to set up next Sunday's title match. Morgan's five goals in a 13-0 victory over Thailand to open the tournament matched the record for most goals in a single game at the World Cup. She rested the team's next match against Chile. While she hasn't scored since, she's been vitally important to the United States. She helped set up both of Megan Rapinoe's goals in the team's 2-1 quarterfinal victory over France drawing the foul for the free kick on the first, and setting up Tobin Heath's sprint up field and cross that Rapinoe buried for the second. Afterward, U.S. coach Jill Ellis said Morgan put her "heart and soul" into the game. "The kudos to Alex is I think she has a balance to her game, in terms of penetration, and being able, like she did in the France game, to be more of a player that can hold the ball up for us," Ellis said. "And that's tough." Both Sweden and Spain, the two opponents the Americans faced before France, targeted Morgan relentlessly. She was kicked in the first half of the 2-0 victory over Sweden to close the group stage then menaced by Spain to open the round of 16. Rapinoe stepped up and scored two goals against both Spain and France. "Right now, Megan Rapinoe has put the team on her back, from Spain to France, and it's going to take players like that, and a couple individuals each game, to step up and really help carry this team," Morgan said. Morgan was named U.S. Soccer's player of the year last year after leading the team with 18 goals in 19 games. It was the second time she earned the honor: She also won in 2012, when she had 28 goals and helped the team win an Olympic title. She had seven of those goals during the CONCACAF World Cup qualifying tournament last fall to earn the Golden Boot. She's in the running for the Golden Boot in France, too. With five goals, she's atop the leaderboard along with Rapinoe, England's Ellen White and Australia's Sam Kerr. "I would love someone on our team to win the Golden Boot. Of course it would be a great accolade, but that's not my goal. My goal is to help this team win a World Cup," Morgan said. Morgan first grabbed attention in the 2011 World Cup as the youngest player to make the U.S. squad. She scored in the final, which Japan won on penalty kicks. Morgan was injured during qualifying for the 2015 World Cup and she sat out of the tournament until the final match of the group stage. But she started for the decisive 5-2 victory in the final over Japan highlighted by Carli Lloyd's hat trick. Overall, Morgan has 106 career goals in 167 matches for the United States. She's scored 33 goals over her last 39 games. She has eight total World Cup goals. In France, however, the goals don't necessarily matter. What does is winning the United States' fourth World Cup. "I think there's a single-mindedness right now in Alex and I see that in her play and off the field as well," Ellis said. ___ More AP soccer: https://apnews.com/apf-Soccer and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports[/INST]Alex Morgan adjusts her game at Women's World Cup</s> |
<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>About five years ago, I realized that everywhere I went, there was a CVS Health Corp (NYSE: CVS ). Cities, suburbs, uptown, downtown it didn't matter. No matter where I went, there seemed to always be a CVS right around the corner. I felt like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day . I'm exaggerating but you get the point. I remember thinking that there were just too many CVS stores and that one day the market would become saturated and cannibalized. At some point, CVS stock and its ill-conceived lot would go the way of Sears and the Dodo bird. I don't typically follow CVS stock on a research basis and I hadn't looked at in a while, but when I was taking my dog Clifford to the veterinarian today (don't worry, it was just for his checkup; he is fine) I saw that they are building yet another CVS in my town. This is literally the seventh one that is within a five-mile radius of my house! Don't get me wrong. I like CVS and I go there all the time. I get ink for my printer there because it's closer than the local Staples (NASDAQ: SPLS ), I buy food there because it is closer than the local grocery store, and I bought socks there on Saturday because it's closer than the mall. As a customer I can understand the appeal. But as an investor it made me think. 7 S&P 500 Stocks to Buy With Little Debt and Lots of Profits I decided to take a look at how the CVS stock price has performed over the past five years. Unfortunately, I didn't short it way back then. My instincts appear to have been correct. Shareholders must be very disappointed. Since 2015, the price of CVS shares has fallen from around $110 to around $53. This is a loss of over 50%. In the same time period, the S&P 500 went from 1,900 to 2.900. This is gain of about 33%. According to MarketWatch, CVS posted its first loss in five years in 2018. Earnings per share were $3.99 in 2014, $4.66 in 2015, $4.93 in 2016 and $6.47 in 2017. Then something went wrong. In 2018, the company lost 57 cents a share. In addition, according to the Wall Street Analysts who follow it the projected growth rate is just 7.4X while the projected growth rate for the sector is 11.5X. Maybe this weak performance is a sign of market saturation … or maybe it isn't. But it's not the only dynamic pressuring CVS stock. A more detailed analysis would need to be performed to get a more in-depth understanding of the relevant issues. But I am not giving a trade recommendation. My intent is to show that there is a simple yet important lesson to be learned here. Sometimes it takes a tremendous amount of hard work and due diligence to uncover the clues and signals that will lead to insights into the future price of the stock. But sometimes, as is the case with CVS stock, you can see the clues everywhere you look. At the time of this writing Mark Putrino did not hold any positions in any of the aforementioned securities.[/INST]CVS Health Stock Has Cannibalized Itself</s> |
<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Organizers at St. Louis Corrections have changed protocol after a woman was accidentally locked in a jail stairwell for more than two days. The woman was booked and released from custody around 8 a.m. on June 5 on the Justice Center's second floor with verbal instructions on how to leave the building: take the elevators to the first level, make a right turn and walk out. But she didn't make it through the front door. Authorities said surveillance video shows the woman, who has not been identified, enter the elevator at 8:17 a.m., push all the buttons and exit on the 5th floor. That's where she went through an emergency exit, despite signs warning against entering, and the door locked behind her. Information provided by the city said the alarm on that door was disabled while some work was being done, and it had not been reactivated. The woman tried making noise, but Justice Center employees couldn't find the source of the noise until June 7 at 6:32 p.m., roughly 58 hours after she was first released. Justice Center staff brought medical help to check the woman out, but they say the woman didn't want to be treated, only asking to go home. "We're very sorry that this occurred, and we have put precautions in place to make sure this doesn't happen again," City Corrections Commissioner Dale Glass said in a statement. One of the new precautions: people will be physically escorted out of the building.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>The parrot hasn't been broken out much since Encarnacion arrived in New York. Has a new scenery brought on some new habits? The Yankees made a big splash long before the trade deadline with the acquisition of Edwin Encarnacion , the league leader in dingers at the time of the deal. Considering the Yanks got Encarnacion for Juan Then, and kept him away from the Rays and Red Sox in the process, the deal was a massive victory. That hasn't played out on the field as of yet, as Encarnacion has struggled for the most part since he arrived in the Bronx. The 36-year-old came from Seattle with an .888 OPS, but through Friday's action, his OPS as a Yankee sat at just .677, while batting .140. Encarnacion 's wRC+ this season is still a respectable 127, but since the trade, it's been cut almost in half, at just 75 through the early parts of his pinstriped tenure. What's behind the rough transition to New York? Well, Encarnacion is clearly swinging and missing at a much higher rate, as his strikeout percentage with the Yanks so far is 32.2 percent, compared to his career average of 17.2 percent (his K rate last season was 22.8 percent). Encarnacion's BABIP as a Yankee is just .138, as the slugger has struggled to make any kind of quality contact, mainly because he seems to be coming up empty more than ever. Data courtesy of Statcast When Encarnacion has been making contact, it hasn't been of the loud variety, as that BABIP reflects. His hard contact percentage as a Yankee (30.3 percent) is almost as much as his soft contact percentage (27.3 percent, compared to 18.6 for his career). A lot of that soft contact has been up in the air, as his pop up percentage in June was up six percent from May. What does that pop up percentage tell us? It might become clearer when looking at his spray chart, which is much different as a Yankee than the rest of his career. Since the trade, Encarnacion has hit 30.3 percent of his batted balls to the opposite field, not far off from his 39.4 percentage to the pull side. Over his career, those numbers are 49.9 percent to the pull side and just 19 percent to right field. Is Encarnacion trying to alter his approach and feast on the Yankees' short porch in right field? Through his first four games as a Yankee, all at the Stadium, Encarnacion hit two home runs, and they'll be fairly easy to pick out on his home run spray chart heading into the final series before the All-Star break. Hint: they're the only ones hit out to right field. Encarnacion HRs, 2019 Maybe those two home runs over the short porch made Encarnacion hungry to take advantage of his new home, and it's gotten him away from his normal pull swing, which produced a ton of home runs over his successful career. It's great to use the homer-friendly dimensions at your disposal, but if that's what Encarnacion is trying to do, he'd likely be better off sticking to what made him so dangerous this year until he gets an outside pitch that he can poke towards the Judge's Chambers. Encarnacion has been a prolific hitter for years in this league, and in all likelihood, he will make the necessary adjustments and be the force that the Yankees traded for. Who knows, maybe it even started on Thursday, when Encarnacion yanked a laser of a home run into the left field seats at the Trop to get back to his pull-happy home run swing and give the Yankees what turned out to be a huge run in an 8-5 win in extras. Rock, Flag, & Parrot. pic.twitter.com/xRnCL8MhDY New York Yankees (@Yankees) July 4, 2019 If Thursday is the beginning of a return to the norm, Encarnacion has to cut back on the strikeouts and bring them back closer to his career average. If he is hunting for oppo tacos and making himself more susceptible to strikeouts, then the Yanks would likely prefer he returns to the approach that made him the American League's home run hitter. Hopefully Thursday was the mark of the beginning of that process.[/INST]What has been behind Edwin Encarnacion's slow start with the Yankees?</s> |

The twosome tied the knot in September 2014. Back in April, the A Love Letter Life: Pursue Creatively, Date Intentionally, Love Faithfully authors told Us Weekly exclusively about their plans to have more children. "We do want to have more kids," Audrey told Us at the time. "We've always wanted to have a big family. … We don't put a timeline or a number on it, but Lord willing, we definitely want to have more kids and we'll take them one at a time." The pair also spoke candidly about keeping the spark alive between them after becoming parents. "We've kind of lost that spontaneity that we once had, and so it just goes back to the concept of being intentional," Audrey explained on April 2. "For us, dating intentionally requires some scheduling, some planning, some carving out some time. It's different now with kids, and so that's something that I think we've had to sort of shift a little. Before we could be a little bit more organic and spontaneous and have fun date nights, and now it's like, 'We gotta schedule the baby-sitter.'" Jeremy added that the couple enjoy outdoor activities. "I used to bike-ride a lot [but] I don't get the chance to do that as much as I wish," he said at the time. "Audrey really likes to run and so it's kind of a special thing to revisit these areas that kind of made Audrey who she was, and me who I am, and we do those together now and it's really fun." Audrey and Jeremy's baby news comes nearly a year after they announced their departure from Little People, Big World. "After 14 years, over 300 episodes, and 17 seasons, the time has come. A year ago, I made the decision that this season would be our last," Jeremy wrote in July 2018. "It has been an amazing run, and I can't say thank you enough to all of you who have watched and supported us along the ride. We have the most loyal fans on TV and we appreciate every one of you. You are what made doing this so fun. We will still be supporting the family as they carry the #LPBW torch onward. This is a decision concerning Audrey and me specifically the show much go on!"

A few weeks later, the facility where a woman with severe intellectual disabilities gave birth in December is back in hot water. The facility is now 30 days away from losing its license. In January a federal inspection found 108 pages worth of deficiencies at Hacienda. Some of them were corrected -- but some are still listed on the Arizona Department of Health Services website as ongoing. RELATED: A look back at Hacienda Healthcare's problems But on April 23, DHS told Hacienda they inspected the facility -- and found no deficiencies. The next day, Gov. Doug Ducey signed a bill giving DHS the ability to license Hacienda and Hacienda got its license. But just 15 days later, a DHS survey again found major deficiencies at Hacienda. The inspection found the organization failed to implement their abuse policy and detailed two incidents of possible abuse that inspectors said went nowhere. PREVIOUSLY: Arizona licenses center where incapacitated woman was raped The first incident involved a resident who went off-site with his family. When he came back, staff reported he had a bruise on his cheek, another on his arm and blood coming from his left nostril.

In the Himalayas, climbers at Mount Everest are concerned that the peak has gotten too crowded, contributing to the highest death toll in years. In cities and destinations around the world, from Barcelona to Bali, "overtourism" has become a year-round problem. When fields of wildflowers in Lake Elsinore, California, were overrun this spring by tourists seeking the perfect photo, the city tweeted bluntly about the impact of traffic jams and trampled hillsides: "We know it has been miserable and has caused unnecessary hardships for our entire community." Last summer, it was a sunflower field outside of Toronto that got trampled after becoming Instagram-famous. A mashup of discount airlines, inexpensive Airbnb rooms and social media shares have brought the blessing of tourist dollars and the growing curse of noisy crowds and even dangerous conditions to places once known for off-the-beaten-path charm or idyllic silence. "Tourists are trampling the very attraction they've come to witness," says Joel Deichmann, a global studies professor at Bentley University in Massachusetts. Some communities have begun pushing back with regulations and public service announcements telling tourists to behave. How do you visit these places without doing harm? Four tips from experts: 1. REMEMBER, IT'S NOT ALL ABOUT YOU. Venturing far from home and experiencing an unfamiliar culture can be transformative, bringing a sense of freedom and even hedonism. But don't forget: This is already someone's culture, someone's home. So beyond simply choosing a hotel, really research the place you want to visit. What kind of behavior is appropriate there? What are the environmental policies? If you're booking through a travel service, ask them for guidance. "This isn't Disney," says Rachel Dodds, founder of the consulting firm Sustaining Tourism. Pavia Rosati, founder of the travel service Fathom and co-author of the book "Travel Anywhere" (Hardie Grant, 2019) reminds travelers going to exotic destinations: "You are not here to just add something foreign to your collection." It might seem logical to put on a tank top and shorts in Thailand's 100-degree heat. But if you're going to visit Buddhist temples, it's considered disrespectful. "Err on the side of conservative dressing," Rosati says. Deichmann, who frequently travels abroad with his students, advises them to be sensitive and take cues from local residents. For example, he says, on a subway or bus in European cities, locals are usually reading or sitting quietly. Follow their lead: Avoid loud conversations or getting up to snap photos. The same goes for late-night partying: If you're at an all-inclusive resort on a few hundred acres of gated lands, party as you wish. But if you're staying in an Airbnb apartment, realize that the person on the other side of the wall might need to put their baby to sleep or get up for work early. 2. PUT PICTURE-TAKING IN PERSPECTIVE With phone cameras, we've become accustomed to taking pictures constantly. But taking photos of people, their children and their homes can be invasive. Also, respect the physical environment. It may seem obvious, but don't walk on the wildflowers to get the best photo. And consider the risks: At Kaaterskill Falls in New York's Catskill Mountains, four tourist deaths in recent years have been attributed to attempts to take dramatic selfies. You'll probably enjoy your experiences more fully if you spend less time snapping photos, says University of Denver assistant professor Gia Nardini, co-author of a study on the subject. And showing restraint can help protect the place you're enjoying from overtourism. "If you take that picture," Dodds asks, "will 1,000 people arrive the next day to take that same picture?" 3. GIVE BACK When Rosati was planning a cruise along the Amazon River, she knew she'd be stopping in villages where children needed basics like pencils, crayons and paper. So "one-third of my suitcase was school supplies," she says. Once there, she gave them away and filled the space in her suitcase with local crafts. Consider spending money in the local economy rather than at international hotel chains, and seek out locally owned restaurants and bars. To help the environment, use public transportation as much as possible. "You're going to have a better experience" too, says Dodds. Finally, take your packaging with you when you leave a place. And never buy gifts made from endangered animals or other illegal materials. 4. SAY HELLO "My dad used to say you need to learn to say, 'How can I get a cup of coffee' in the local language," says Dodds, author of a new book, "Overtourism: Issues, Realities and Solutions" (De Gruyter Oldenbourg, 2019). Even in places where many locals speak English, learning a few words in their language please, thank you, yes, no will earn you good will and a more authentic experience. Also, be patient and respectful of those trying to manage the crowds. At the Louvre, union representatives had complained that renovation work around the Mona Lisa led to organizational problems, long lines and harassment of staff by tourists. They said staff numbers have diminished over the past decade even as the number of visitors rose 20%. Amid the excitement of even bucket list-level travel, Deichmann says, keep in mind: "What if this were your village?" RELATED VIDEO: Attack of the Fanny Pack!

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Drop up to 15 pounds in just three weeks? The 21 Day Fix claims to help anyone do just that. And evidently, people are intrigued. According to Google, the weight-loss trend was one of the most searched diets in 2015 and spiked on Pinterest by a whopping 190 percent that same year. Naturally, we had to ask the experts if it's really worth the hype, or if the 21 Day Fix is just another weight-loss gimmick. The lowdown: How It Works The diet revolves around the idea that it takes 21 days to successfully create a healthy habit, and was created by National Academy of Sports Medicine certified celeb trainer Autumn Calabrese who, fun fact, is also a bikini competitor . "This diet combines portion control with regular physical activity to promote weight loss in three weeks," says Leigh Tracy, R.D., a dietitian at The Center for Endocrinology at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. The Plan Despite the fact that controlling your portions and working out aren't exactly groundbreaking, dieters seem to be drawn in by the way the diet organizes each meal. As part of the program, 21 Day Fixers receive color-coded containers to measure your portions , says Ashvini Mashru, R.D., author of Small Steps to Slim . These include an 8 ounce green container for veggies, an 8 ounce purple container for fruits, a 6 ounce red container for proteins, a 5.3 ounce yellow container for carbs, two 2.7 ounce orange containers for seeds and dressings, and a Shakeology cup for shakes. To find out how much you can eat each day, you start by calculating your specific caloric intake . Multiply your current weight by 11 and add 400 (which covers the calories burned during your daily workout.). That number is the daily calorie intake you need to maintain your weight. To find out how much you need to eat to lose weight, subtract 750. Based on that calorie intake, the plan assigns you a daily container allowance. For example, if you're within the 1,200 to 1,499 calorie range, you're allowed three green (veggies), two purple (fruits), four red (proteins), two yellow (carbs), and one orange (seeds and dressings) per day. The guide breaks down each container with a list of foods that you can eat, which makes it easier to create a weekly meal plan . Along with the portioned containers and eating plan, dieters receive two workout DVDs and an exercise schedule that includes seven 30-minute workouts for each day of the week. (Sweating yet?) The Pros and Cons Though the containers eliminate the need to track your meals and the plan encourages whole foods, if you don't love prepping your meals ahead of time or expanding your grocery bill, you might struggle with the general structure. "Most of the meals are expensive or time consuming to make," she says. "And you might find the small portions of food to be too restrictive ," she says. That could lead to falling off the wagon or bingeing after the 21 days are up, says Mashru. At the same time, requiring workouts every single day for nearly a month can be super frustrating, she adds. Especially since these workouts aren't for beginners. Lastly, like most trendy diets , the 21 Day Fix doesn't go beyond the three weeks it was designed to fit into. Though some people might continue to watch their portions and work out on the regular, others might revert back to their previous lifestyle habits, which could lead to gaining back the weight they lost. The Verdict It may not be the best course of action, says Mashru. "It's true that most people will be able to lose at least some weight on the 21 Day Fix, but for a long-term weight-loss solution, it may be better to find a program that's more flexible," she says. In other words, you'll probably find that living life by a "container diet" isn't living at all.[/INST]Why Is the 21 Day Fix Diet Blowing Up Online and Does It Actually Work?</s> |

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>A historic building in Seattle's International District is back open with a fresh coat of paint and a purpose to preserve the neighborhood's character. The property at 7th and King St. was heavily damaged in a fire on Christmas Eve 2013. But after extensive renovations, it's now affordable apartments and storefronts. "We're trying to retain our identity and our history and honor our past," said Tanya Woo, whose family owns the Louisa Hotel property, built in 1909. It once housed Asian immigrants arriving to work in Alaska canneries. The property was also the site of the 1983 Wah Mee massacre, where 13 people were shot and killed in a gambling club. The building has been vacant since the 2013 fire. "It was just really hard, just really painful, especially seeing the businesses that have been in the building for over 30 years having to leave," Woo said. A team of investors and developers poured millions of dollars into renovations, and today the Hotel Louisa is reopening as 84 income-restricted apartments. Tenants, who are already settling in, must make between $35,000 and $75,000 a year to qualify for a unit. "We wanted to retain a lot of the seniors who live here and a lot of the people who live here and also retain local small retail as well, a lot of mom and pop shops are coming back," Woo said. The developers found all kinds of artifacts during renovation, and even uncovered hand-painted prohibition-era murals along a staircase, leading to what was a jazz club. They're still working to preserve the paintings and hope to eventually display them to visitors, Woo said. For now, they're celebrating a new chapter of history on a corner that almost crumbled. The building will be open for tours on June 29 during the Dragonfest street fair.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Being a wildly successful actress and entrepreneur does not make immune to the rigors and demands of parenting teenage boys and girls. While hosting a panel at A Goop Morning in Celebration of First International Campaign with Flow Alkaline Spring Water on Thursday, Gwyneth Paltrow opened up about her ongoing negotiations with 13-year-old son, Moses, over his video screen time. 'We have a Fortnite situation at my house,' she confessed, referring to the wildly popular video game that was made available as an Apple app in April. Her son, whom she shares with ex-husband and Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, has also been a source of motherly frustration when it comes to his diet. During the panel, Paltrow told the audience that she started making 'little poke bowls' so her kids, which includes 15-year-old sister Apple, 'can choose what they want in it' but it hasn't quite worked for Moses. 'He only wants chicken nuggets and french fries and Gatorade. It's like a war every day,' she explained. When speaking about her son during a Goop podcast in April of 2018, The Avengers: Endgame star shared about about seeing herself in her children, which at times means coming face-to-face with her own issues and insecurities. 'Mosey and I are so similar in a lot of ways, and we have the same bad qualities, so sometimes I find it really triggering with him,' she admitted. 'And I always have to think, okay, try to put a pause in between what you're feeling and what you're going to do or say next.' While a guest on the podcast, Paltrow mother Blythe Danner weighed-in and said she believes children already themselves by the time they are born, and that there's not a lot parents can do to change or shape that. Paltrow took a little exception to her theory. 'My philosophy with my kids has been I agree with you in that I think they come in with who they are but then I think you can f*** it up,' she said. 'It's really an art to be a parent and to try to parent consciously as opposed to out of instinct.' Paltrow announced that she and Martin had separated in March of 2014 after ten years of marriage. The divorce was finalized in July of 2016. She married Brad Falchuk in September of last year following about four years of dating.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>This year's global stock rally has flown in the face of billions of dollars of outflows, mounting fears for economic growth, and most recently a bombardment of geopolitical shocks. But it might not be as defiant -- or as crazy -- as it seems. As a gauge of global shares looks to extend two weeks of gains, there's mounting evidence that beneath the surface equity investors have been getting smart. Far from ignoring brewing risks, they're increasingly positioned for bad news, bidding up defensive and quality companies at the expense of those more exposed to the economic cycle. It all challenges the narrative that the stock markets have paid no heed to the warnings screamed by global bonds, or that they are simply counting on accommodative central bankers to juice asset prices. "People are bracing for a bear market," said Brian Jacobsen, a senior investment strategist of multi-asset solutions at Wells Fargo Asset Management, which oversees $476 billion. "Not predicting it. Just trying to be prepared." As traders favor firms that can weather a potential downturn, the valuation discount of value to growth stocks has surged to the widest since 2001. The Goldman Sachs gauge of high quality shares is outperforming the S&P 500 Index this month. And the Russell 2000 Index of small caps is trading near the biggest discount versus the Russell 3000 Index since at least 2006. The extremity of this push into safer equities has seen the likes of Morgan Stanley warn about a "big unwind'' if their performance stumbles . Riskier shares attempted a comeback last month, with weak balance sheet stocks in the U.S. outperforming peers with strong balance sheets. But the trend didn't last. In June, investors are once again rewarding companies flush with cash and low debt, lifting their premium over those with less attractive financial profiles to near a record high. "Valuations don't matter too much until they get to eye-watering extremes," said Jacobsen. "I don't think that they're at eye-watering extremes" for defensive shares, he said. Momentum stocks have been another winner from the search for a place to hide, with the investing style outperforming value shares by a near-record 17% in May. They have continued beating cheaper stocks this month due to a strong overlap with quality and low-volatility equities, according to Morgan Stanley. At essence, stock investors appear to be trying to hedge their bets between two major outcomes. On the one hand, they're staying invested on the prospect of an extension of the business and economic cycle, perhaps prolonged by a trade war breakthrough or central bank largess. On the other, they're opting for safe shares in case the U.S.-China protectionist battle drags out or escalates, derailing global growth. "The correct positioning is not obvious and it's a tough call," said Edward J. Perkin, chief equity investment officer at Eaton Vance Management. "With the equity market near all-time highs, do you take economic risk by owning cyclicals, or valuation and interest rate risk by buying defensive sectors at high prices?" Perkin favors a middle ground: He likes companies with solid financials, though he's focused on economically sensitive sectors that can outperform if growth remains strong. And he cautions that not all defensive sectors are attractive, warning against expensive yield-sensitive sectors and consumer staples due to their financial leverage and muted revenue growth. Meanwhile major asset managers like Wells Fargo Asset Management and Legal & General Investment Management say they now prefer a neutral stance, allowing them to easily maneuver depending on whether the U.S. strikes a trade deal with China or global growth falters. One thing the money managers all agree on: Despite seeing a need for caution, they're not yet ready to call the end of this bull market. "It still may be too early to call the peak," said Nick Alonso, director of the multi-asset group at PanAgora Asset Management. "I believe that, especially in uncertain times like these, focusing on portfolio construction as a means of achieving diversification through proper risk balancing can be a very powerful tool."[/INST]Stock Investors Are Getting Smarter as the Threats Stack Up</s> |

The Detroit Tigers didn't collect their first hit until the fifth inning, and the offense didn't show much more life after that as the Tigers dropped their third game in a row, this one a 4-2 defeat at the hands of the Cleveland Indians on Saturday evening at Comerica Park. The game started well enough for the Tigers. Lefthander Gregory Soto, recently recalled from Triple-A Toledo, was effectively wild. He walked four batters in four innings, but also avoided the nightmare innings that have plagued him the second time through the order. He was able to dance out of trouble time and again, eventually recording four scoreless innings. The zeroes didn't last, though. Nick Ramirez entered in the top of the fifth, and the floodgates opened. Ramirez allowed a pair of singles to the first two hitters he faced, and then Nicholas Castellanos misplayed a routine fly ball, scoring the first run of the game.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Most of the big names were off the board early, but there's quality depth left to be signed. The opening eight hours of free agency answered most of the questions we had about the future of the NBA. Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant became Nets , Jimmy Butler was traded to the Heat , Tobias Harris stayed with the Sixers, Al Horford joined him there, and D'Angelo Russell was moved to the Warriors . Still, there's talent left to grab. Kawhi Leonard is the biggest name left on the board, and DeMarcus Cousins is the lone other all-star, bur rotation players are still looking for homes. Here are the best free agents left. Last update: July 2, 6:17 p.m. ET 1. Kawhi Leonard Leonard 's the big one, with the Raptors , Lakers and Clippers vying for his talents. His decision is likely to change the landscape of the league. Will LA have a true superteam, or will every contender is as talented at the top as the next. 2. DeMarcus Cousins With the Russell trade, the routes for Cousins to return to the Warriors are slim. But what's the market for a center who has torn his Achilles and quad in consecutive years? With money running slim for most teams who had cap space, Cousins might have to sign for a discount again. 3. Danny Green Green started for the champion Raptors because he does two things: shoot threes and defend. He should command a similar role no matter where he goes, though he'll reportedly hold out on his decision until Leonard makes one . 4. Kevon Looney Returns to Warriors for 3 years, $15 million Looney came on strong for a Warriors team that lacked depth last season. A versatile defender, Looney plays a role sought by every team looking to make the playoffs. He doesn't do much on offense, but he's a star in his one role. 5. Marcus Morris Morris is coming off one of his best seasons on a clunky Celtics team. He scored 14 points with six rebounds on 37 percent three-point shooting. He's one of the best bench scorers available at the very least, and contenders should seek him out. 6. JaMychal Green A 6'9 big man who can shoot, Green is a very good role player for a team looking to compete. He shot 41 percent from three on three tries per night last year in LA and has shot 37 percent for his career. 7. Delon Wright (restricted) Wright showed he can be productive in a bigger role with the Grizzlies in 26 games last season. The 27-year-old guard scored 14 points per game with six assists albeit on just 43 percent shooting. But the 6'5 PG with a 6'6 reach is a solid defender, too. The Grizzlies can match any deal he signs. 8. Kelly Oubre (restricted) The 23-year-old forward is still a work in progress, but he could become an excellent role player or even lower-level starter. He scored 17 points per game on 45 percent shooting in 40 games with Phoenix last year. The Suns can match any offer Oubre signs. 9. Willie Cauley-Stein Signs with Warriors for 1 year, just above minimum Cauley-Stein averaged 12 points and eight rebounds for a productive Kings team last year. He defends the paint well too, and should make for a quality backup big. 10. Rondae Hollis-Jefferson Hollis-Jefferson 's place in the league will remain unclear until he figures out how to shoot the ball better, but he's a great defender, and that should be enough for spot minutes. With Brooklyn signing DeAndre Jordan , Durant, and Irving , it's unlikely they retain RHJ. 11. Jabari Parker The former No. 2 pick has had two ACL injuries and continues to struggle on defense, but can play a scorer's role somewhere. He averaged 15 points on 49 percent shooting last year with the Bulls and Wizards. 12. Avery Bradley Bradley hit a wall after the 2018 season, only scoring 10 points per game last season on 35 percent three-point shooting and worsening on the defensive end. He's only 28, though. Could a change of scenery help? 13. Emmanuel Mudiay Mudiay hasn't been great in his first four seasons in the league, but he's also just 23 years old. He scored 15 points on 45 percent shooting last year. 14. Kentavious Caldwell-Pope He shot 35 percent from three last year, which is fine. He has also played 74 games or more in all six seasons. He's a fine bench player. 15. Rajon Rondo He isn't what he once was, but someone will take a veteran with championship experience maybe even the Lakers!. He averaged nine points, eight assists and five rebounds last year.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>For most people who receive one, a diagnosis of dementia marks a big shift in their life. Dementia causes a lot of disruption in the form of sometimes dangerous symptoms, including: Impaired memory, language and communication skills. A loss of ability to pay attention and focus. A loss of good reasoning and judgment skills. An increase in feeling confused or disoriented . Increased irritability. A reduction in visual perception. A reduction in the ability to care for oneself and attend to the activities of daily living, such as preparing meals, keeping appointments and traveling. Some 5.8 million Americans are living with an Alzheimer's diagnosis, the Alzheimer's Association reports, and around 16 million unpaid caregivers are looking after them. But as the patients and family members who've shared their stories here note, the diagnosis is not the end. With the right support, there's a lot more life to live and joy to experience. Julie Burger Julie Burger of Vancouver, Washington, hid the initial symptoms of her dementia from her husband, Les. For more than two years, she had been losing her photographic memory, "slowly but surely," she says. Born in Puerto Rico, Julie speaks six languages and had been the valedictorian of her high school class. She'd earned a master's degree and served in executive and volunteer roles for the American Red Cross for half a century. All of this academic and professional success had been buoyed by her incredible memory and her voracious appetite for the written word, so when her photographic memory started to slip and her rate of reading and level of comprehension dropped, she knew something was wrong. Her husband had been an internist, and he says he missed the early signs despite his medical training, because she hid her struggles so well. "Julie's the smart one in our family," he says. "She was able to keep this to herself, and I really wasn't aware of it until she came to me about four years ago and said 'something's wrong.'" By then, her mathematical abilities had slipped, too. Once Les knew there was a problem, they went to see a doctor who diagnosed mild cognitive impairment . A year later, in 2016, Julie then 76 had an amyloid PET scan that confirmed she had Alzheimer's disease . "I'd never heard the word Alzheimer's before," she says. But getting a diagnosis has enabled the Burgers to access treatment and helped them prioritize certain aspects of their lives. "Julie is still in the early phase of the disease," Les says, and while she retains some cognitive capacity, the couple are busy visiting as many family members and friends as they can. "She thrives on being with friends and family, and we're taking the time to visit them, mostly locally. The problem is that our world has gotten a lot smaller for both of us" since she developed Alzheimer's, he says. Some of the smaller changes Alzheimer's has brought have been the hardest to cope with. "Julie doesn't remember our wedding. She doesn't remember the names of certain people. That's a lot more livable than the short-term memory problems. Literally from moment to moment, she puts something down and doesn't know where it is. When we're staying at someone's house, she can't remember where the bathroom is. She can't do finances at all and has no concept of time any longer and has trouble telling time. She can't follow a recipe. She can't make nectar for the hummingbirds anymore." Les acts as Julie's primary caregiver, and though she sometimes tries to push him away out of frustration over what she can no longer do for herself, she's grateful for his support. "Les has been wonderful through this whole thing. He's my walking-talking Google. He's wonderful and he gets me to where I need to be." Julie is enrolled in a clinical trial of an Alzheimer's medication. Although they don't know whether the trial will make a difference in her case, the Burgers are clear-eyed about the need for further research and treatment options for others with the disease. As a doctor, Les says the anticipated spike in dementia diagnoses in America's aging population "reminds me of when we first learned about HIV/AIDS. There were these young people getting these incredibly bad infections and dying and we didn't have a clue. Here it is 35 years later and yes, we have treatments, but they're expensive. HIV/AIDS hasn't been eradicated, but it's better, and transmission rates in the U.S. have declined. With Alzheimer's we're in the same position. This big tsunami is coming and we have to figure out how to deal with it and develop treatments. We have to see if we can halt this disease and cure it one day." David Shorr Involvement in a clinical trial has also been an important aspect of how David and Kim Shorr of Bexley, Ohio have dealt with his Alzheimer's diagnosis, which occurred about three years ago when he was just 56 years old. The clinical trial, being conducted at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center , is looking at whether ultrasound technology can help open the blood-brain barrier to enable therapeutics into the brain and possibly encourage the brain to clear the beta-amyloid plaques that are one of the hallmarks of Alzheimer's in the brain . Being involved in that trial has helped Kim and David find some meaning in his disease, which initially started with him "doing things that just didn't make sense," Kim says. "I was thinking it was ADHD . He couldn't focus, but I knew something was wrong. I felt like I was being punk'd all the time," she says. Some of the more frustrating behaviors he exhibits include "moving things around that don't need to be moved," and asking the same question multiple times. Troubled by his odd behaviors, Kim encouraged her husband to visit a doctor, and David agreed to see a psychologist who then referred the pair on to a psychiatrist . They were eventually referred onward to a neurologist . Because David was younger than most Alzheimer's patients are, it took a little but more sleuthing to arrive at the right diagnosis than it might for an older patient. But they stuck with it. Kim says getting a diagnosis was in some ways a relief to have a name for the condition and a path forward in managing it took away some of the anger and frustration she was feeling. Still, it's not easy being the primary caregiver for someone with dementia . "Sometimes I have to take a deep breath and walk away," she says. Even though she knows that none of the frustrating behaviors David exhibits are intentional or malicious, it is still difficult and exhausting for caregivers and loved ones to deal with the symptoms of Alzheimer's on a day-to-day basis. But Kim is committed to supporting her husband of 30 years. "He's living at home and he's still OK to do some things. We just have to watch. We have to remind him to shower and eat and make sure he takes his medicine. I don't think he realizes it or sees how much he doesn't do. But we just keep going," she says. Tom Doyle Tom Doyle of Shaumburg, Illinois, had been a professor of education at Concordia University Irvine and National University Los Angeles for 25 years until he retired in 2016 at age 63, around the same time that he received a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and secondary Parkinsonism . The diagnosis came about because despite his decades of experience in the classroom "all of the sudden, I started to forget the lectures that I had given for years and years," he says. "I would get lost in papers I was grading and started to lose my ability to read. I was losing words and repeating myself. The job I was doing became almost impossible. All those things created a great deal of anxiety in my life," he says, and his husband, Levi, started to notice these changes, too. He commented that Tom's home office was in disarray and encouraged him to talk to a doctor. Forced into retirement and grieving the loss of the career he'd loved so much, Tom found himself depressed. He started to isolate himself. "It was probably some of the darkest moments of my life. But my dear husband he's incredible asked me one day if I thought I'd be more supported if we lived in Chicago," where Tom's family is. So they left California and moved back to Illinois. There, Levi acts as his primary caregiver, and it's a tall order, because Tom can't safely care for himself anymore. Though the diagnosis has been challenging for both of them, Tom hasn't lost hope. "I want people to know that I have dementia, but dementia does not have me. That's the most important thing for people to know. There's hope, and there is life. Every day, there's incredible life to live. Even as I struggle with the symptoms of dementia, there's always reason to hope and I have a great life. I have the best team of doctors and the support of so many people. Life is really good." What to Do If You or a Loved One Is Struggling Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia can have profound impacts on patients and the people connected to them. But Ruth Drew, director of Information and Support Services at the Alzheimer's Association, says it's important to realize that your family doesn't have to go it alone in coping with an Alzheimer's diagnosis. Drew oversees the AA's 24/7 hotline call center (800-272-3900) where specially trained counselors field calls from thousands of people each week who have questions about any and all aspects of Alzheimer's and other dementias. "Often we get calls from people who are seeing signs of Alzheimer's who want confirmation that's what they're seeing and advice on what they should do next. Sometimes we get calls from people who've just gotten a diagnosis who want to know what resources are available and what to expect. Very often we get calls from people in the midst of caring for a family member or loved one, and they're looking for resources and tips and education or just someone to talk to," Drew says. Call volume "ebbs and flows" throughout the year, with spikes usually coming after the holidays when family members may have observed unusual behavior or other symptoms, she says. On average, the center gets 5,000 to 6,000 calls a week, adding up to more than 300,000 a year. In other words, there are a lot of other families and patients out there in the same boat. Connecting with them via support groups or through one of the AA's 78 local chapters can be a lifeline for many people struggling to deal with the day-to-day challenges of Alzheimer's and dementia. No matter what your specific situation is, Drew recommends reaching out at the first sign of trouble, because early intervention can make a big difference in how patients and caregivers experience the disease. It might be difficult to initiate the conversation with a loved one, but "we want to let people know how important the conversation is," and that help and support is available. These aren't easy conversations, she acknowledges, but having one is an act of love. "Just find a place to start. We've found that 90% of people would want to know" if their loved ones have noticed a change in their cognitive abilities. Even if you think your loved one isn't open to discussing a potential problem, Drew says "it's still important to try," and you "don't have to have the whole conversation at once. You can plant a seed and circle back." The AA has developed a resource called Conversation Starters that might help you figure out how best to approach a loved one with your concerns. The goal should be to get your loved one in to see a doctor as soon as possible to get started on a diagnosis, because it's not always a straightforward process. "There's no blood test for Alzheimer's," she notes, and symptoms of dementia and cognitive decline can be signs of other illnesses, not just Alzheimer's. But early intervention and connecting with the right support can make a world of difference.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Trendy ingredients and wellness fads have a way of either getting written off as totally woo-woo or instantly being touted as cure-alls . As far as apple cider vinegar goes? It tends to land in the latter category. Proponents of apple cider vinegar-a.k.a. ACV-claim it's a health elixir that can help with everything from kicking the common cold (bubble burster: it's not) to bloating and weight loss (again, not so much). But ACV does appear to have some skin benefits when used topically as opposed to drinking it, which perhaps is what fueled the latest rumor about the stuff-that ACV is the *perfect* antidote for a fresh sunburn. Wait...is apple cider vinegar for sunburn relief a real thing? Here's why it might seem like it would work: "ACV has become increasingly popular to treat sunburns due to its antibacterial, cooling effect," says Melissa Kanchanapoomi Levin, MD, a dermatologist in New York and founder of Entière Dermatology . Many ACV fans also say the ingredient helps with skin issues (i.e. helping with oily skin) when you apply it directly, or when it's an ingredient in a skin-care product. "Apple cider vinegar is reported to be useful for a variety of skin conditions because it helps calm inflammation and has antiseptic properties," says Joshua Zeichner , MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research in dermatology at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York. "It has an acidic pH, which is why it is used as a natural skin toner." What's more, ACV is high in pectin (a type of soluble fiber found in apples), which can potentially improve the skin barrier and lower inflammation, Dr. Levin adds. But here's the bummer news: Sunburn-induced puffiness isn't so ACV-friendly. Apple cider vinegar is rich in malic acid, a hydroxy acid that's lovely if you want to exfoliate . But, as you can imagine, this ingredient won't be so great for a top layer of already-damaged, sunburned skin, explains Dr. Zeichner. "Apple cider vinegar may be useful in treating conditions like dandruff, however I do not recommend it for sunburns," he says. Pour it on toasty red skin and you'll likely just make the burn worse, causing seriously irritated skin or even chemical burns, adds Dr. Levin. And before you think about just diluting ACV with water first and then soaking your tender burn, pause! While super watered-down ACV (read: 1 tablespoon in 1 cup of water) or a pour in your bath might come with some soothing benefits, these derms generally still recommend skipping it for a sunburn altogether as to not even risk the possibility of causing additional irritation. Ugh, fine. What's the best way to deal with my sunburn until it heals? If you're in pain and uncomfortable, Dr. Levin suggests cooling off your skin with a cold, damp cloth or compress plus a cold shower. Dr. Zeichner also notes, "Make sure to use gentle skin cleansers to remove any remaining sunscreen on the skin." You'll also want to avoid any harsh soaps as well as your loofah so you don't aggravate your already-sensitive skin. Stay out of the sun, too, and drink lots of water. If you're puffy and your skin is sore to the touch, hit up your local drugstore for an over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream to calm down inflammation. Also, use a light and breathable moisturizer (read: no oils or lotions with ingredients like petrolatum, benzocaine, or lidocaine, which can trap heat or irritate your skin, says Dr. Levin). Look for products with aloe vera, which can help re-hydrate and soothe the skin. Really feelin' the burn? Take some ibuprofen (i.e. Advil or Motrin) or naproxen (like Aleve) to zap pain, swelling, and redness, Dr. Levin suggests. And remember: If your burn is severely blistering, takes up a large part of your body, or comes with other symptoms like a fever or chills, see your doctor right away, says Dr. Levin.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Monday was another volatile day for the stock market, as investors once again expressed doubt about the prospects for a favorable resolution to trade tensions between the U.S. and key international partners. Today's nervousness was caused by China, which argued that the U.S. is solely responsible for the setbacks in that particular bilateral trade relationship over the past week. Problems in the technology sector also weighed on the Nasdaq in particular, but some stocks managed to post solid gains. El Paso Electric (NYSE: EE) , Nektar Therapeutics (NASDAQ: NKTR) , and Hecla Mining (NYSE: HL) were among the top performers. Here's why they did so well. El Paso Electric lights up Shares of El Paso Electric were higher by 13.5% after the utility company received a buyout bid. An infrastructure investment fund managed by JPMorgan Chase 's investment management division entered into an agreement to buy El Paso Electric for $4.3 billion. Under the terms of the deal, shareholders will receive $68.25 in cash for every El Paso share they own. El Paso CEO Mary Kipp said that the deal "values local job retention and growth, creating a sustainable path to enhance our renewable energy resources and protecting the environment" and respecting both customers and employees. Some investors have seen El Paso Electric as cheap for some time, making JPMorgan's bid a smart and opportunistic move. Nektar hopes for a cure Nektar Therapeutics saw its stock rise 9% following the release of clinical data from a phase 2 study of its bempegaldesleukin treatment. Nektar said that the study, which includes stage IV melanoma patients, saw a 34% rate of complete response at 12 months when bempegaldesleukin was combined with chemotherapy drug Opdivo. Within the study, 42% of patients saw a 100% drop in target lesions. Those numbers were favorable compared to alternatives evaluated without the Nektar candidate treatment. Nektar hopes that the study will continue to go well and eventually lead to late-stage clinical trials to seek approval of the drug, and investors seem to have equally high expectations after today's gains. Hecla shines brighter Finally, shares of Hecla Mining picked up 12%. The hard-hit silver miner finally got some good news from the bullion market today, where silver prices were higher by roughly $0.20 to $14.75 per ounce. Favorable commodity markets are especially important for companies like Hecla that have relatively high levels of debt on their balance sheet because they can help make it easier to meet interest payments and refinance their outstanding obligations in a timely manner. Hecla still has plenty of challenges operationally to overcome, including recent asset impairments. In order to build on today's momentum, Hecla will have to keep improving its own business operations, hopefully bolstered by favorable moves in silver prices.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Abby Huntsman is a mom of three! The View co-host, 33, gave birth to twins daughter Ruby Kate and son William Jeffrey late on Wednesday, June 5, in New York City, PEOPLE confirms exclusively. "Ruby came first at 5 lbs., 12 oz. She is a sweet, very calm baby," Huntsman tells PEOPLE. "William is 5 lbs., 4 oz., and came into the world wide-eyed and ready to raise havoc," she jokes, adding, "Both babies are long like their parents 19 inches." Huntsman and her husband Jeffrey Livingston are already parents to 18-month-old daughter Isabel Grace . The new mother of three's father Jon Huntsman, the U.S. Ambassador to Russia, and her mother Mary Kaye came in from Moscow for the special delivery. Though thrilled to be a family of five, Huntsman initially said that getting the news the couple were expecting twins was still a shock. "When the doctor told us [it was twins], my husband fainted, which was just classic," the then-mom-to-be said when announcing her pregnancy in an exclusive January interview with PEOPLE. "I think he saw two sacs in there and I could see it on his face. He turned white, and then when the doctor told us, he fell. Another doctor had to come in, and they were wiping him down with towels and giving him sugar," Huntsman added of her husband. "I was sitting there with my feet still in the straps. I'm like, 'This is ridiculous. I'm the one that has to physically do this.' " The couple conceived without fertility treatments, making the surprise an even bigger one and after the initial shock, a much-welcomed bit of news considering they wanted their children to be close in age. "I'm one of seven kids, and I love being around a bunch of siblings because I think it teaches you independence, and it teaches you how to grow up quickly and also just be a good friend and be a good sister," said Huntsman. And while she was feeling "a mix of emotions" surrounding the news, she was "very excited" and "so grateful" for her pregnancy and that the babies were healthy.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Forget cannabis edibles and cannabis leaf products. The big story right now is cannabidiol, or CBD. Hemp is now legal in the U.S. And the most lucrative opportunity resulting from this legalization is with hemp-derived CBD products. Cannabis market researcher Brightfield Group projects that the U.S. hemp CBD market will total $22 billion by 2022 . A more conservative estimate comes from investment firm Piper Jaffray, which forecasts annual U.S. hemp CBD sales of close to $15 billion by 2023. For investors ready to jump on the hemp CBD bandwagon, there are quite a few potential stocks to consider. Three top CBD stocks to buy in June are Canopy Growth (NYSE: CGC) , Charlotte's Web Holdings (NASDAQOTH: CWBHF) , and KushCo Holdings (NASDAQOTH: KSHB) . 1. Canopy Growth Canopy Growth was the first of the major Canadian marijuana producers to enter the U.S. hemp CBD market. The company is building a large-scale hemp production facility in New York state. Canopy founder and co-CEO Bruce Linton stated in February that the company should have hemp CBD products on the market in several states by the end of the year. Canopy has also filed for U.S. trademarks for potential brand names including CBD Simplified, CB-Tea, Hemp Break, and Hemp Burst. The company should have access to expertise in building successful commercial brands in the U.S. Constellation Brands owns a 38% stake in Canopy Growth and is partnering with the company to develop and market cannabis-related products. Constellation's Corona and Modelo brands rank at the top of the U.S. premium beer market. Of course, Canopy Growth has plenty of other opportunities outside of the U.S. hemp CBD market. It claims the highest market share in Canada's adult-use recreational marijuana market and should enjoy a boost later this year when the country opens up the doors for the sale of cannabis-derivative products like beverages and edibles. Canopy is also a leader in international medical cannabis markets. 2. Charlotte's Web While Canopy Growth is building out its hemp CBD business in the U.S., Charlotte's Web already boasts the No. 1 hemp CBD brand in the country. The company markets a wide range of CBD products, including oils, capsules, creams, and pet products. Charlotte's Web's Q1 sales were barely above its sales from the previous quarter . But don't think for a second that the company has really lost momentum. The issue seems to be production capacity. That's only a temporary problem, though, with Charlotte's Web more than doubling the acres of hemp that it's planting this year. There's no question that more doors are opening for Charlotte's Web's CBD products. The company now ships to more than 6,000 retail locations across the U.S., with over 2,300 of those added this year. This number should continue to increase rapidly as national retailers put Charlotte's Web products on the shelves of more of their stores. 3. KushCo Unlike Charlotte's Web, KushCo doesn't currently market any hemp CBD products. And unlike Canopy Growth, KushCo doesn't have any plans to do so. So why is KushCo a top CBD stock to buy in June? The company's products and services should see much higher demand as the U.S. CBD market takes off. KushCo is probably best known for its packaging products used by the cannabis industry. Its previous corporate name was Kush Bottles. But the company now makes the lion's share of its revenue from vape hardware and accessories. In the second quarter, vape-related sales generated nearly 69% of KushCo's total revenue and were a major revenue growth driver in the quarter. However, KushCo's fastest-growing business is marketing solvents and hydrocarbons used in extracting oils and cannabinoids. This business should especially benefit from the expansion of the U.S. hemp CBD industry with rising demand for CBD extraction from hemp plants. It's still really early Canopy Growth, Charlotte's Web, and KushCo appear to be solid picks to profit from the rapidly growing hemp CBD market. However, keep in mind that it's still really early. There are also hurdles that could slow things down. Although companies like Charlotte's Web are already selling hemp CBD products, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) hasn't established any regulations for these products yet. The FDA conducted its first public hearing related to CBD regulations on May 31, 2019. It will take a while for the regulations to be finalized. That means that in the meantime CBD-infused foods and beverages can't be sold legally. The biggest opportunities in investing, though, can come from getting in on something big early on. It's early for the U.S. CBD market. But this CBD market will almost certainly be huge. Keith Speights has no position in any of the stocks mentioned.

Queen Elizabeth visits the replica Sainsbury's, where she was introduced to self checkout for the very first time. Princess Margaret was appropriately bundled up for the grocer's refrigerator section during a 1982 visit to Bath, in which she opened this supermarket. What, you don't shop for produce in a full-length fur coat? Just the future king of England in front of a lovely display of meats. Meghan may be new to the royal family, but she knows what makes for a great picture: a Duchess, holding her pregnant belly and looking longingly at a package of turkey salami. The queen seems to be enjoying her visit to the English Market in Cork, Ireland, but fish monger Pat O'Connell is legitimately having the time of his life. Why yes, Prince Charles, this photo series is rather funny. Have you ever seen someone look so pleased at a pile of carrots? At Tesco in 1990, Princess Diana practically filled her cart with pantry essentials. No matter what she wears, it always looks a little like the Queen has never stepped foot inside a supermarket. Just the Queen pondering human existence in the specialty foods aisle, as one does. Maybe Queen Elizabeth got her grocery store demeanor from her mama.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Determining your weekly mileage during race training is a delicate balance: You want to run enough miles to physically prepare your body without running so much that you end up overtaxing yourself and toeing the starting line spent-or worse, injured. It's also individualized as it depends on your speed, strength, experience, base, and goals. Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all mileage prescription. That said, start where you are right now, says Melanie Kann, an RRCA-certified running coach for New York Road Runners. "If you're running your first 5K, you might start with a minimum five-mile-per-week program. If you're running your first marathon, you might start with a minimum of 15 miles per week." Rather than looking for a specific mileage prescription, think of it more like building up to a certain amount of time on your feet. "This allows the runner to progress safely," says Rich Velazquez, a running coach at Mile High Run Club in New York City. Still, there are a few rules of thumb and general guidelines that can help you come up with the best weekly plan. Here's how. [ Run faster, stronger, and longer with the complete cross training program for runners .] Rule 1: The longer the race, the higher the mileage. Duh, right? If you're training for a marathon , you're obviously going to need to log more weekly miles than if you're training for a 5K. No matter the race distance, though, there are three main components to a cohesive running program, says Velazquez: a long run day, a speed day, and a recovery day. "Your long run should be conducted at a slow pace and eventually last as long as your projected race time (remember, it's about time on feet versus miles); your speed day is shorter in duration but faster than your predicted race pace; and your recovery day should be an easy/slow pace and lower mileage than your planned race," he says. So you'll have some longer runs and some shorter runs no matter what you're training for; the ultimate mileage, of course, depends on your race distance. Rule 2: Mileage requirements increase as performance goals increase. If your goal is simply to finish a race, you can run fewer miles than if your goal is to finish with a fast time. "But as your goals shift towards performance, weekly mileage will most likely increase to support the demands of these goals: aerobic capability, energy utilization and sustainability over elongated periods of time, and efficiency of movement," says Velazquez. That's because logging that time on your feet is what's going to give you a stronger engine, adds Kann. "Obviously, your musculoskeletal system is going to get stronger as you spend more time on your feet," she says. "But when you're out there running, you're fueled by oxygen-that's what gets your muscles to fire and gets the blood moving around. So the more time you spend on your feet, the more it's going to increase the capacity of your aerobic engine, which is going to fuel you to go stronger for longer." Rule 3: Not all miles are created equally. No runner should go out and run the same pace every day; any good training plan should include speed, interval, tempo, and distance training, all of which offer different benefits. "Speed training is where the body will shape and improve its running economy (energy demand for a given speed) thus improving overall efficiency in energy consumption and oxygen utilization," says Velazquez. "Interval training aligns specific speeds with specific intervals and set rest periods, tempo running is about maintaining consistent speeds over longer periods of time, and distance training is about getting the body used to impact and elongated performance." The point of all those different training modalities? Ideally, you become a better, more well-rounded runner. "If you only run at race pace, that's the only pace you know," says Kaan. "You want to get your system ready to be comfortable moving at paces faster than race pace, so that when you get to race day, that pace doesn't feel so hard." While the bulk of your miles should be easy, aerobic-based miles, those faster miles get you to that point where you're clearing away the waste product in your muscles at the same rate that you're accumulating it, she explains, which will make your body more efficient come race day. Rule 4: Allow for adaptation when increasing mileage. To avoid injury when upping your mileage, you need to take it slow and allow your body time to adapt to the increased workload. Many runners follow the 10 percent rule-i.e. never increasing your weekly mileage by more than 10 percent over the previous week. "Most programs will build mileage week over week for about three weeks before introducing in a low mileage week (recovery)," Velasquez says. "From there, the buildup will start again as the body should have adapted from the increased volume with the rest and be ready and able to tackle more." Think about your runs in terms of quality over quantity, Kaan says. "If you're adding additional speed workouts to your week, you don't want to run a super long run that weekend," she says. "You're just asking a lot of your body all in a short period of time." Your body, on a microscopic level, is breaking down muscle tissue when you run, and it needs to time to rebuild (that's how you get stronger). It's important to look at the whole picture when it comes to weekly mileage, and think about the kind of miles you're running and how that will impact your body. Rule 5: Listen to your body. When you're following a training plan, it's natural to want to hit the exact mileage that's indicated-that's how it works, right? "We always tell people to start with a plan, but that plan is not the letter of the law," says Kann. "It's not like you're going to get a failing grade if you don't stick to that plan 100 percent." Running mileage just for the sake of running mileage can actually backfire, because overtraining can lead to a general disintegration of performance or even injury. "Broken sleep, elevated resting heart rate, lack of motivation and restlessness are all signs of overtraining," says Velasquez. With running comes a certain level of discomfort; part of the challenge is pushing yourself past those I-don't-know-if-I-can-do-this boundaries. But Kaan doesn't advocate running through pain. "Discomfort naturally comes with training as your body adapts, but if you feel the pain on one side of your body and not on the other or if you're dealing with some kind of persistent pain, that's a sign that there's some kind of imbalance at play," she says. When in doubt, err on the side of caution and pull back your pace or take a rest day. No runner ever healed any kind of pain or injury by running more. Rule 6: A healthy runner beats an injured runner every time. At the end of the day, the most important goal of any runner-whether you're running a marathon, half marathon, 10K, or 5K-is to make it to the starting line. "The last thing you want is to overload yourself, break yourself down, and then push yourself past your limits," says Kaan. "That's when you're gonna pull yourself out of the game for three weeks to recover. Then you're really in trouble." "If you're not feeling up to run, rest and reschedule," says Velazquez. "And should that feeling persist, people training for longer races (i.e. a marathon) should give priority to the long run over the speed training." Remember: No one's grading you on how well you stick to a mass-produced plan anyone on the Internet can download. The real test is race day, and just how well you can get through it. Rule 7: Adjust your base accordingly when coming back from injury. You had your weekly mileage mastered when you were healthy, but if you're sidelined with an injury, it requires a tweak. Before you get back to running, make sure you can walk for at least 45 minutes without pain, says exercise physiologist Susan Paul. Walking will help recondition your muscles, tendons, and ligaments to prepare for the more vigorous demands of running to come. Then, you need to consider how long you've been off, adds Adam St. Pierre, a coach for CTS in Colorado Springs. If you've been sidelined for a week or less, you can pick up where you left off. (You may even feel better when you do!) But for a break of up to 10 days, start running at 70 percent of your mileage. For 15 to 30 days off, dial back to 60 percent. For a hiatus of 30 days to three months, start at half of your previous mileage. If you've been off more than three months, you should start your weekly mileage from scratch. Target Totals: The number of weekly miles to shoot for differs based on goals, baseline, and experience, but here's an estimation. 5K : 10-25 10K : 25-30 Half Marathon : 30-40 Marathon : 30-60 Everything You Need to Cross Train Your Way to Greatness Buy Now[/INST]How Many Miles Should You Run a Week? 7 Rules to Help You Figure It Out</s> |

The CBC/Pop TV series, which has exploded in popularity over the last year and is currently filming its sixth and final season , got some unexpected love from MTV on Saturday night. Dan Levy, who stars on and co-created the series, won Best Comedic Performance and triumphed over some comedy heavyweights, including Awkwafina for Crazy Rich Asians and John Mulaney for Big Mouth , as well as a superhero, Zachary Levi in Shazam! At the ceremony, which aired Monday on MTV, Levy was enthused and slightly in shock when he took to the stage to accept his award for playing David Rose. "Wow, thank you to MTV. I actually started my career at MTV, so this is an insane full-circle moment," he said. "I'm Canadian, this is very overwhelming for me." "Kindness always wins!" Congrats to @danjlevy for Best Comedic Performance! #MTVAwards pic.twitter.com/kcnjRRpv4J MTV (@MTV) June 18, 2019 The actor and writer has a long association with MTV, which he referenced. His earliest career success was as a cohost of MTV Canada's The After Show , which broke down the most recent episodes of The Hills . He also previously cohosted MTV Canada's former flagship MTV Live , as well as writing, producing, and starring in an MTV Christmas special, Daniel Levy's Holi-Do's & Don'ts . He went on to thank his costars, saying, "I will say this, it's very hard to be funny if you don't have people to be with funny with, so for that I want to thank our brilliant cast, many of whom are here tonight." Levy also thanked his father, Eugene Levy , who co-created and costars on the series as the out-of-touch patriarch Johnny Rose. "I'd like to thank my dad, Eugene Levy, who I feel like through some kind of osmosis, DNA has gave me just a taste of the talent that he has," he said. "If I have taken anything away from making Schitt's Creek , it's that kindness always wins, that love is best served unconditionally, and that wearing sweaters in the dead of summer is a very, very bad idea," he concluded. From a smaller network and only recently gaining massive traction with fans, Schitt's Creek was an underdog going into the awards show Saturday evening. The series was nominated for Best Show as well. Levy and costar Annie Murphy were on hand to present earlier in the evening, and they also walked the red carpet alongside fellow cast members Dustin Milligan and Noah Reid.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Jenny Bennett found her toddler floating in her family's pool, face-down, fully clothed. The 18-month-old had crawled through their home's pet door. An ER nurse, Bennett started CPR and rescue breathing on little Jackson while her husband called 911. Jackson was declared brain-dead after four days on life support. "People automatically assume it happens to bad or neglectful parents," Bennett said. She spent two years going over and over the mistakes she made and finally decided to go public as an advocate for swim safety in her community of Tomball, Texas. Bennett thought she had taken the right precautions. She had two doors separating the house from the pool: a storm door over the back door and tight cover on the pet door. "We understood a doggy door was a risk for him to make it to the pool. We made it very clear that the dog door remains locked." But that day was unusual. She had to pick her husband up from work after his truck broke down and grabbed her three kids. With no time to let the dogs out, she opened the dog door and left the house. "I was too impatient to wait for them." When the family returned, she forgot it was open. "There was a lapse in supervision. We thought he was safe upstairs with his sisters." Drowning is highly preventable The Bennetts' story is not unusual. Nearly 1,000 children died from drowning in the United States in 2017. It's the leading cause of accidental death for children 1 through 4. More than 8,000 others nearly died by drowning, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics. "Drowning is fast, silent, and can happen even when it is not swim time," said Dr. Benjamin Hoffman, chairman of the academy's Council on Injury, Violence and Poison Prevention, in a statement. "It happens to real families, families with good, attentive parents who never thought it could happen to them." There are ways to keep it from happening to your child, according to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. They call it the "many layers of protection to prevent drowning." "Close, constant, attentive supervision" around water Parents or caregivers should never -- not even for a moment -- leave young children alone or in the care of another child anywhere near pools, spas, wading pools or bathtubs, even if a lifeguard is present. Most young children who drowned in pools had been out of sight for five minutes or less and were in the care of one or both parents at the time, according to a study by the Consumer Product Safety Commission . The same goes for any standing water. Toddlers can drown in just an inch or two of water. Caregivers should also empty any water from containers, such as pails, buckets and kiddie pools, immediately after use. The rule is that an adult with swim skills should literally be within one arm's length, providing "constant touch supervision." Bennett says this is where she failed. "You lose sight of your child. You think they're somewhere safe when they're really not, or you get distracted by a phone call at the pool." The biggest danger is the lack of barriers to prevent access to the water If you have a pool, you should completely enclose it with a 4-foot-high fence on all sides, separating it from the house and yard. The fence should have self-closing and self-latching gates. The American Academy of Pediatrics says such fences prevent more than half of swimming pool drownings of young children. The academy is now urging states and local municipalities to pass laws requiring all pools to have these fences. In fact, 69% of children younger than 5 who drowned were not expected to be at or in the pool at the time, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Bennett says she wished she had put up a pool fence. "We could've done more." Remove toys from pools after play Bennett wonders whether her son was reaching for a toy in the pool and fell in. The group Water Safety USA , a consortium of nonprofits and governmental agencies, recommends that all toys be removed from bodies of water when they're not being played with. Parents, caregivers, older children and pool owners should learn CPR Immediate resuscitation, even before the arrival of EMS personnel, "is the most effective means to improve outcomes in the event of a drowning incident," the American Academy of Pediatrics says. Learn swimming survival skills Bennett says she enrolled Jackson in traditional parent-child swim lessons , but the training didn't include key survival skills like how to roll onto the back and float. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends swim lessons for many children starting at age 1. The decision to start water-survival skills training or swim lessons at an early age "must be individualized on the basis of the child's frequency of exposure to water, emotional maturity, physical and cognitive limitations and health concerns related to swimming pools." The academy says a swim program must ensure that children have basic water safety skills and give them respect for the water. Children should learn how to tread water, float and stay by the shore or the side of the pool. A study in the journal JAMA Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found formal swimming lessons reduced the likelihood of childhood drowning by 88%. Wear a life jacket The pediatrics group recommends that children always wear life jackets when boating or near bodies of water, including nonswimmers and children who know how to swim. More than two-thirds of all boating fatalities are from drownings, and 90% of those drowning victims were not wearing life jackets, according to the BoatUS Foundation. Beware of pool drains Teach your children never to play or swim near drains or suction outlets. The nonprofit Safe Kids Worldwide says there are serious dangers to drain entanglement and entrapment. Spreading Jackson's legacy Bennett has made it her mission to spread the message of water safety. She lectures about what happened to her son. She's created a pamphlet of swim safety tips now given out to families when babies are born at HCA Houston Healthcare, her employer. And she established a national parents' group, Parents Preventing Childhood Drowning, to spread the word. She hopes everyone will take these precautions in the name of her son, Jackson, who would've been 4½ this summer. "I've already lost a part of my heart. We thought he was so special. There was just something about him. I thought he was going to be really important some day. This is how he's going to be important: me speaking out."[/INST]Drowning is the leading cause of accidental death for young children. Here's how to prevent it</s> |

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>LONDON (Reuters) - Boris Johnson and Jeremy Hunt are competing to bolster their bids to become Britain's next prime minister by proposing higher public spending and tax cuts which would represent a sudden relaxation of the country's tight grip on the public finances. Johnson, the favourite and a former London mayor, has vowed to spend an estimated 31 billion pounds on tax cuts, public sector pay rises and better education, while Foreign Secretary Hunt has made pledges costing 40 billion pounds. Hunt plans to slash corporation tax and spend on defence. Both men have said they will tap into the 27 billion pounds of "fiscal headroom" that has built up in the public finances, referring to the difference between the government's target for the budget deficit and its projected size, which is lower. Finance minister Philip Hammond has warned the two candidates that their plans would cost more than the headroom in his budget. Furthermore, Johnson and Hunt say they would take Britain out of the European Union with no transition deal if necessary, something the government has said would lead to a 95 billion-pound hit to the public finances each year by the mid-2030s. Following is a summary of the main fiscal proposals and suggestions by the two candidates and their potential annual cost, based on estimates by the Institute for Fiscal Studies, a think tank, and other analysts. The candidates have not provided details for some proposals such as raising the threshold for National Insurance Contributions, so the estimates are based on assumptions. JOHNSON - Increase the income tax higher-rate threshold to 80,000 pounds from 50,000 pounds - 9 billion pounds - Raise the threshold at which people start to pay National Insurance - 11 billion pounds if the threshold for employees and self-employed is raised to 12,500 pounds a year. Raising the threshold for employers too would cost more - Raise school spending with an overall package of around 4.6 billion pounds. - End public sector pay freezes - 5.4 billion pounds if pay goes up by 3%. - Hire an extra 20,000 police officers - 1.1 billion pounds TOTAL: 31.1 BILLION POUNDS A YEAR HUNT - Cut 19% corporate tax rate to 12.5% - 13 billion pounds. Hunt has said this is the only immediate spending commitment he would deliver in the event of a no-deal Brexit - Raise the threshold at which people start to pay National Insurance Contributions - 11 billion pounds if the threshold for employees and self-employed is raised to 12,500 pounds a year.

We've just learned that a Houstonian will be moving into the "Big Brother" house for their new season, which starts next Tuesday. Cliff Hogg III, 53, is an Aggie fan hoping his humor and caring personality will help him win half a million dollars, but he knows it won't be easy. He said the lack of communication with the outside world will probably be the most difficult part about living inside the "Big Brother" house. "Sitting in that house and not knowing what is going on with family, the country, my sports teams, etc. will be frustrating," said Hogg. "The lack of privacy will be tough at first, but I think I'll get used to that rather quickly." Hogg said his strategy for winning the game is to present himself as the loyal soldier to one or more strong players while creating enough chaos or paranoia to have people pointing fingers at each other. "People will assume that I am loyal kind guy because that is how we live my life in the real work," Hogg said. "I will use that to my advantage and betray as necessary in the end game to get me to the finale!"

According to Mr. Steve, there was some sort of argument between Luke and Hannah that you can see in the trailer for this season-looks like it mayyyyybe (at least judging from the promo?) was about sex: I'm so worried.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>WASHINGTON Mayor Pete Buttigieg's candidacy has fueled speculation about how the American electorate would react to its first gay president. But, according to Buttigieg, he would not be the first gay president. In an interview with "Axios on HBO" aired on Sunday evening, Buttigieg asserted that it's "almost certain" he would not be the first gay president. Buttigieg, the South Bend, Indiana mayor running for the Democratic nomination, had been asked if Americans might react adversely to his sexual orientation. He responded: "I'll respond by explaining where I want to lead this country. People will elect the person who will make the best president. And we have had excellent presidents who have been young. We have had excellent presidents who have been liberal. I would imagine we've probably had excellent presidents who were gay we just didn't know which ones." 2020 presidential race: Buttigieg says he would vote to impeach Trump during Fresno town hall Also: Trump supports Pete Buttigieg campaigning with his husband: 'It's good' When asked specifically if the United States ever had a gay president, he said, "I mean, statistically, it's almost certain." He wasn't sure which one, though. "My gaydar even doesn't work that well in the present," Buttigieg added. Some have speculated, though, that Buttigieg would not be the first gay president. In a Washington Post column at the end of March, Ezekiel Emanuel, vice provost for global initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, speculated that James Buchanan, who was president from 1857 to 1861, might actually have been the first gay president. Emanuel argued that Buchanan might have had a relationship with William Rufus King, a politician who served as a senator, ambassador, and Franklin Pierce's vice president briefly before King's death. King and Buchanan lived together before Buchanan became president, and after the two stopped living together, Buchanan noted in a letter to a friend that he was now "'solitary and alone,' having no companion in the house with me. I have gone a wooing to several gentlemen, but have not succeeded with any one of them." Buchanan also added that he would not be able to give "ardent or romantic affection" to a woman if they lived together.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>The Steelers of the 1990s ultimately cured me of the inferiority complex that all three Pittsburgh sports teams instilled in me in the 1980s. Believe it or not, when I was a little Steelers fan growing up in the early-'80s, I had an inferiority complex about my favorite football team. In fact, I had an inferiority complex about most things Pittsburgh sports-related (it really wasn't a great decade to be a fan of the local sports teams). If you know anything about NFL history, you know that Green Bay was the mecca of the football world in the 1960s. The Packers won five NFL titles and the first two Super Bowl s. Lambeau Field was the place to be during the decade. Vince Lombardi was head and shoulders above everyone else as far as head coaches were concerned. The Packers boasted a star-studded roster that included Bart Starr, Willie Davis and countless others. In many ways, the Packers of the 1960s were the NFL's first dynasty. The 1970s weren't quite as kind to the Packers. After Lombardi left and all of those stars retired, Green Bay couldn't have been less relevant in the football world. In fact, you'd be hard-pressed to name one significant Packers' moment from the 1970s. Instead of being the stars of NFL Films productions, they would often show up as bit players in highlights of Walter Payton shredding their defense or the Purple People Eaters terrorizing their quarterback. After winning four Super Bowls, the Steelers were the NFL's dynasty of the 1970s, and old Three Rivers Stadium was the place to be in a football sense. The '80s weren't quite as harsh to the aging Steelers as the '70s were to the Packers. However, in terms of relevance, Pittsburgh was just another football team. Also, the Pirates--another Pittsburgh sports team that thrived during the previous decade--were mostly dreadful in the '80s, and the Penguins continued their long history of losing. Pittsburgh went from being the city of champions to the city of has-beens and never weres. This was tough to take for a kid who one day only cared about Sesame Street and super heroes, and the next day was a die-hard fan of most things Pittsburgh sports-related. Talk about your bad timing for a seven-year old. When you have an inferiority complex about your local sports teams, you become star-struck by things such as Mike Rozier, the 1983 Heisman Trophy winner from Nebraska, signing on to play for the Pittsburgh Maulers of the newly-formed USFL (the 11-year old in me is still amazed that this happened). You are obsessed with the NFL Draft and hope that the most recognizable superstars in college football become Pittsburgh Steelers. You live for even a sliver of Steelers praise from those national sports types such as Chris Berman and John Madden. You are giddy that Tony Pena the closest thing the Pirates had to an All-Star in the mid-'80s is actually playing on the same field as the likes of Reggie Jackson and Cal Ripkin during baseball's Mid-Summer Classic. You can't believe that the lowly Penguins are owned by the same family the DeBartolos that also owns the big, bad San Francisco 49ers (I actually had a positive reaction to seeing the Penguins flag hanging on the same pole as the 49ers flag at the headquarters of the DeBartolo Corporation located in Boardman, Ohio) . For whatever reason, my Penguins fandom never quite stuck, so I wasn't too impressed by their back-to-back Stanley Cup victories in the early-'90s. Speaking of the early-'90s, while the Steelers were still mostly awful under the legendary Chuck Noll, the Pirates were in the throes of breaking my heart three-straight years in the NLCS. Even though I had grown from a little boy in the early-'80s into a 20-something man by the early-'90s, that inferiority complex remained fully affixed to my psyche as it pertained to my favorite Pittsburgh sports teams. Then the Steelers hired Bill Cowher to take the place of the recently-retired Noll in 1992, and everything began to change for me. Cowher immediately turned the Steelers into winners and legitimate Super Bowl contenders, and they would remain at that level until the end of the decade. Even though the Steelers gave me the same level of postseason heartache as the Pirates did in the early-'90s maybe more, considering they made the playoffs six-straight seasons and never won a title the journey didn't seem as frustrating. Maybe it was because the Steelers were able to advance in the playoffs on a fairly consistent basis, while the Pirates never actually won a postseason series. Maybe it was because the Steelers actually made it to a Super Bowl, which was something I never thought I'd see when I was a frustrated sports junkie in the 1980s. After a few down years, Cowher helped the Steelers find their way back to the top of the football food-chain at the start of the 21st century ultimately leading them to a Super Bowl XL victory following the 2005 campaign and they were able to stay there in the late-'00s under the leadership of new head coach Mike Tomlin. With the exception of a hiccup or two, the winning has continued into the 2010s, and those expectations have remained the same Super Bowl or bust. Just the other day, I was disappointed to learn that Josh Bell , the Pirates new superstar baseball player, lost out in the voting to start at first base in the upcoming All-Star Game. But I was only mildly disappointed. Two months ago, I was excited to learn that the Steelers traded up into the top 10 to select Michigan linebacker Devin Bush in the 2019 NFL Draft. But I wasn't nearly as excited as I was the precise moment I thought the Steelers were about to select Michigan State running back Lorenzo White in the first round of the 1988 NFL Draft (it was actually some guy named Aaron Jones , and this nearly brought me to tears). The consistency in-which the Steelers have won over the past 27 years 18 playoffs appearances, 14 division titles, four conference crowns and two Lombardi trophies has cured me of my inferiority complex. I've known for some time now that the Steelers are football royalty, complete with television ratings and a world-wide following that are the envy of most professional sports franchises. It all started in the 1990s, when Bill Cowher and the Pittsburgh Steelers taught me how to feel like a winner.[/INST]Bill Cowher and those 90s Steelers taught Pittsburgh fans what being a winner was like</s> |

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>My first-ever experience riding along the Pacific Coast Highway California's longest state route, which hugs most of the coastline is now just a hazy memory of motion sickness from the rear-facing third row of my parents' Woody Wagon. Years later, I rewrote that memory with my soon-to-be husband: We rented a compact car with manual windows and a busted CD player, and made our way from Los Angeles up to the craggy coastline to San Francisco. We stopped in quaint towns, stayed in retro motels, and ate delicious burgers at roadside diners. I've since had the great pleasure of returning to this epic stretch of California coastline several times, noticing new stop-worthy eats and attractions during each drive. So, for a fresh take on a classic American road trip , look no further: Here are the best stops along California's PCH for you to hit on your summer getaway. From north to south, the following Pacific Coast Highway stops make for the ultimate summer road trip. 1. Do some next-level forest bathing amid the towering redwoods Just north of San Francisco, find the Muir Woods , better known as the Redwood Forest, which feels like a living fairy-tale setting of ancient conifers. Here you can dance among the flora and traipse along the trails, soaking in their beauty and wisdom. Try the Dipsea Trail for views of the tree canopy, Pacific Ocean, and Mount Tamalpais. 2. Hit the day spa at the Carmel Valley Ranch After you've checked out the adorable town of Carmel and walked its sandy shores, treat yourself to a day at Carmel Valley Ranch's spa . The Ranch Restorative package ($180) includes a 50-minute massage with head-to-toe rebalancing using inflammation-busting and immunity-boosting extracts like sage and arnica. The package ends with a pedicure to add a little spirit to your step. 3. Dine on top of the world at Nepenthe This storied stop along the now re-opened stretch of Pacific Coast Highway in Big Sur serves major views and familial hospitality. Opened in 1949, the literary meaning of "Nepenthe" comes from Homer's Odyssey and refers to a fictional happy drug. The view alone will dispense just the right dose of euphoria for any weary road-tripper. Checking out the view from the treehouse perch where you sit, paired with a glass of crisp California Chardonnay and a eats from the vegan-, vegetarian-, and gluten-free-friendly menu, will surely set the right tone for the adventures (and winding roads) ahead. 4. Lay your head at Ventana Big Sur Overlooking the Pacific Ocean, this adults-only resort with traditional guest rooms and glamping sites sprawls across 160 acres of stately redwoods and rolling meadows, and the indoor-outdoor spa offers treatments encouraging inner peace and connection. Here, you can get an Essence Portrait (from $295), during which spiritual artist Sofanya brings your essence to life through your unique color patterns. Other healthy activity options include private yoga, tai chi, qi gong , meditation classes, and a personalized astrology reading (from $295). 5. Enjoy hot springs and holistic wellness at Esalen Institute The nonprofit retreat center and educational institute on the edge of the world (well, the edge of the continent, anyway), was a favorite of Henry Miller, among other familiar names. Dip in the healing waters known as the Source, a freshwater spring that bubbles to the surface and feeds the thermal baths. Public night bathing takes place weekly from 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. ($35 per person), by online reservation only. Clothing is optional. 6. Get a Santa Barbara stretch Atwill Pilates is the perfect studio for road-trippers in need of a little conditioning and a lot of stretch. Book a private session ($100) or schedule a day in Santa Barbara around the studio's group-class schedule ($35), but regardless, visit its globally curated shop, Beautiful Nomad, full of hand-picked wellness products and goods. If that feels a little too strenuous, let go-to local masseuse Linnea Villegas knead out steering-wheel-induced muscle tightness ($110 for 60 minutes). With a sweet studio in downtown Santa Barbara, every session is tailored to the individual, blending a wide variety of touch-therapy techniques inspired by her studies and travels abroad. 7. Shuck sustainably in Ventura The Jolly Oyster Shuck Shack in Ventura at the San Buenaventura State Beach Park is nothing short of shellfish heaven. Born out of a sustainable fishing operation in the Pacific Waters of Baja California, the collection of food trucks now nestles into a sandy cove along the beach, offering diners the opportunity to shuck their own oysters, order them on the half shell, or sample from the extensive shellfish menu. Bring a picnic and/or BYO wine. 8. Have a farm-to-table beachfront lunch Malibu Farm is situated on an old, vacant pier that's been transformed into a fetching farm-to-table dining experience. Head straight to the end of the boardwalk for the more casual counter service at the Cafe, and for sit-down-style rosé-all-day dining, be sure to book a table at the restaurant by the entrance to the pier. Hang ten in Surf City USA Book a surf lesson in Huntington Beach with the wave-riding legends behind Learn to Surf HB . Offering a personalized experience for any surfers of any level (including total beginner), you'll learn the basics necessary to get up on that board in as little as a single two-hour lesson ($150, including equipment). 9. Fine and fresh alfresco dining Corona Del Mar's answer to London's beloved Petersham Nurseries is none other than the Farmhouse at Roger's Gardens , a stellar farm-to-table and sea-to-spoon dining experience set within a sprawling nursery just off the PCH. With six acres of foliage, flowering plants, gifts, furnishings and seasonal herbs, it's hard to know where to start browsing. To plot your plan, head to the back of the nursery for a bite at the magical Farmhouse restaurant. The spot is famous for sourcing quality local ingredients and products in the spirits in cocktails to the vegetable-forward dishes alike. 10. Sleep under the stars at the Ranch at Laguna Beach Nestled between canyon and coast, this unique property is part of the National Geographic Unique Lodges of the World collection, a group of world-class hotels and rare experiences. Eco-friendliness is practically part of the venue's DNA, between the expansive vegetable garden at the rear of the resort (ask for a tour!) and the ban on single-use plastic. On the health front, visit the Sycamore spa for Pilates-inspired fitness classes, or join a group hike or bird-watching expedition in the nearby canyon. Kayaking and tide-pool exploring at the beach are also options. Once you've worked up an appetite, head to Harvest restaurant for California comfort cuisine, where the motto is "hook to harvest." Cap off your day by roasting s'mores around the firepit while marveling at the stars. 11. Pamper yourself at the Monarch Beach Resort There's really no reason to leave this Dana Point property during your stay and with seven distinctive drinking and dining destinations, multiple turquoise pools and cabanas, culinary activities, an award-winning golf course, tennis club, and a Drybar on-site, why would you want to? With room rates starting at $799 per night, you'll want to make the most of your time here an effort made even easier given that the Miraval fitness center's offerings including studio classes like HIIT the Beach or Spin with a (ocean) View come with your stay. For road-trip fuel, here are some healthy keto-friendly snacks you can find at gas stations. Plus, here's a workout you can do on the road literally.[/INST]11 must-visit Pacific Coast Highway pit stops for the ultimate summer road trip</s> |
<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>From Millie Bobby Brown to Natalia Dyer, see what the actors on Netflix's hit series look like out of character and all glammed up on the red carpet. Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Stranger Things" season two. The stars of Netflix's "Stranger Things 3" recently celebrated the season premiere in Los Angeles. See how they look in real life on the red carpet compared to their 80s-style characters on the hit TV show. Visit INSIDER's homepage for more stories. The third season of "Stranger Things" is streaming now on Netflix, and the cast and creators recently celebrated the premiere in Los Angeles. While the adventurous characters are often dirtied up from exploring the Upside Down or dressed up in 80s style costumes, the cast looks very different when they hit the red carpet. Keep reading to see what the main characters of "Stranger Things" look like in real life. Mike Wheeler likes to think of himself as leader of the friend group. Mike and his pals refer to themselves as "The Party" thanks to their bond over Dungeons and Dragons. Mike is played by Finn Wolfhard, whose hair is much curlier in real life. Mike's signature straight-haired bowl cut has been present on every season so far. Will Byers was a key character for the first two seasons, since his connection to the Upside Down is triggering new problems in Hawkins. Will went missing in the Upside Down on the first season, and was possessed by the Mind Flayer on the second. Actor Noah Schnapp wears a wig when he plays Will on "Stranger Things." For the second season, Schnapp had to have a long wig custom cut for him in order to pull off Will's signature bowl cut. Read more: 19 behind-the-scenes secrets you probably didn't know about 'Stranger Things' Lucas is the party member with the most confidence and focus on whatever mission is in front of them. On the first two seasons, Lucas found himself at odds with both Mike and Dustin over various disagreements. Lucas is played by 17-year-old Caleb McLaughlin. McLaughlin is the oldest of all the "Stranger Things" teen stars. Dustin is usually the mediator of the party. He often knows all the important Dungeons and Dragons lore as it relates to the Upside Down and the Mind Flayer. Read more: 27 details you might have missed on 'Stranger Things 3' Gaten Matarazzo doesn't love hats like his character Dustin, and sports a shorter hair cut. Both Dustin and Matarazzo do wear braces now, though. Eleven and her psychic powers are the star of the show. When we first met Eleven, she had a shaved head. But now her curly brown hair has grown out. In real life, actress Millie Bobby Brown often wears her hair more straight. Brown really did shave her head for that first season of the show, and now her natural hair length matches Eleven's. Max (called "Mad Max" on the second season) is the newest member of the party. Max moved to Hawkins from California, and got together with Lucas at the end of season two. Sadie Sink plays the tomboyish Max on "Stranger Things." Her naturally red hair matches Max's on the show. Max's brother Billy is a bully at Hawkins High School. By the third season, he's a lifeguard at the local pool for the summer. Billy is played by Dacre Montgomery, who ditches the mullet in real life. Montgomery is also an Australian actor, but uses his American accent for Billy on the show. Steve Harrington has now graduated high school and works at the nearby mall. Steve spends his days at Scoops Ahoy in the Starcourt Mall. Actor Joe Keery sports a Steve-esque hairdo between seasons. Keery's locks are a bit shorter than Steve's, and we don't think he also uses Farrah Fawcett hairspray in real life. Steve's new coworker, Robin, is the newest character to join "Stranger Things." Robin is another Scoops Ahoy employee, and she loves to give Steve a hard time. Robin is played by actress Maya Hawke, who has more bangs in real life. If Hawke looks familiar to you, it might be because she's the daughter of actors Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman. She also starred as Jo March on the 2017 BBC version of "Little Women." Nancy Wheeler is Mike's older sister and a monster-fighter in her own right. On the third season, she's working as an intern for the summer at the local newspaper office. Actress Natalia Dyer went blond for awhile, but is now back to sporting her natural brunette curls. Her hair, unlike Nancy's, is not permed and hairsprayed within an inch of its life. Jonathan Byers, Will's older brother and Nancy's boyfriend, is an endearing loner. Jonathan prefers to keep to himself most of the time, and loves taking photographs. He's played by British actor Charlie Heaton. Like his costars Dacre Montgomery and Millie Bobby Brown, Heaton uses an American accent for his role on the Netflix show. Joyce Byers is Will's anxiety-prone mother who went to extreme lengths on season one in order to get her boy back. Joyce lost her boyfriend, Bob Newby, at the end of the second season thanks to the Mind Flayer's attack on Hawkins. Winona Ryder, an '80s and '90s icon in her own right, bears little resemblance to her frenzied character. Ryder doesn't wear her hair with bangs like her on-screen counterpart. Police Chief Jim Hopper is basically the Indiana Jones of Hawkins. Hopper has undergone several mini character arcs as he tries to be a father to Eleven and potential love-match for Joyce. David Harbour has grown out his beard far beyond Hopper's 80s mustache seen on "Stranger Things." On last season's red carpet premiere, Harbour had a fully shaved face, so he's keeping up the tradition of never matching his real-life grooming with Chief Jim Hopper's newest looks.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Oil and gas may be the backbone of Houston's economy, but energy companies are not the city's biggest employers. That distinction belongs to giant retailers including Wal-Mart, H-E-B and Kroger; health care providers such as Houston Methodist, Memorial Hermann Health System, Texas Children's Hospital and the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center; restaurant chains like McDonald's and transportation providers such as United Airlines. Only one oil and gas company, Exxon Mobil, breaks into the top 10 biggest employers, according to a survey by the Houston Chronicle. There are 7 million people in the Houston area so it makes sense so much of Houston's growth is tied to basic service providers, filling storefronts dominated by grocery stores, health care facilities and fast food outlets that grow as population expands. "They have to be fed, they have to be clothed and their heath care needs to be taken care of," said Patrick Jankowski, senior vice president of research for the Greater Houston Partnership. The health care industry is Houston's biggest private sector employer, responsible for providing jobs for about 11 percent of Houston area residents. Much of the growth in recent years has come from new subdivisions as population centers have pushed further from Houston to Katy, Clear Lake, Baytown and Conroe. On HoustonChronicle.com: $240M expansion planned for Houston Methodist Woodlands Houston Methodist opened its first hospital two years ago in The Woodlands after determining the community that has benefited from the nearby expansion of Exxon Mobil would grow 11 percent over the next five years. The hospital, which opened with 187 beds, is already planning to add another 100 beds. The $240 million expansion will kick off in September and is scheduled to open in 2022 and will create 350 more jobs, said spokeswoman Stefanie Asin. Methodist also finished construction last year of a 22-story tower known as the Walter Tower at the Texas Medical Center to replace the original main building built in 1951. The new $700 million Walter Tower has 366 patient beds, up from 300. That expansion is spurring demand for new employees, especially nurses, patient care assistants and medical assistants. CHRONICLE 100: Read our complete report on Houston's top companies "On any given day, we have 1,000 job openings," said Asin. Retail, Houston's second-largest industry, employs about 10 percent of area residents, a category that includes grocery stores, clothing shops and home and garden big box stores. The hospitality industry - specifically bars and restaurants - is the third biggest private-sector industry in Houston. (Only government, with dozens of area school districts, is larger than any private sector industry.) On HoustonChronicle.com: Fast-casual restaurants announced for Texas Medical Center project Health care, retail and hospitality, however, wouldn't exist without the fundamental industries that bring new money to Houston such as oil and gas, health care research and space science. Jankowski breaks the Houston economy into equal portions with the energy industry generating about one-third, the U.S. economy generating one-third and global trade, an increasingly important sector to Houston which has led the nation in nine out of the past 10 years in exports, generating another third. The trio work in tandem, or at least try to. "Global trade has done a lot for us when we're struggling with energy," said Jankowski. At the moment, that robust trade, a strong national economy and higher energy prices have given Houston a boost, a relief from 2015 and 2016 when the Houston area lost 75,000 jobs in the oil and gas industry as the energy market crumbled and 2017 which showed only modest gains. Houston is finally back on track with solid regular growth, said Bill Gilmer, director of the Institute for Regional Forecasting at the University of Houston . Houston added about 73,000 jobs last year, representing an annual growth rate of about 2 percent which has been Houston's historical annual average for the past three decades. "It's nothing spectacular," said Gilmer. "But it's back to where we'd like to be." Click to enlarge lynn.sixel@chron.com twitter.com/lmsixel[/INST]Big Oil is not Houston's biggest employer</s> |
<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>The world's a spectacular place, full of hidden and overt beauty in every corner. But beauty's also subjective. It'd be impossible to get a unanimous decision on the most beautiful places around the world -- but we think this list is a good start to plan your travels . In celebration of Earth Day, we've rounded up the best of the best. From lush African forests to vast Latin American deserts, watery Balkan paradises to ancient Middle Eastern cities, here are our picks for the world's top breathtaking, beautiful destinations . Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, Uganda Dense, lush and otherworldly, Bwindi Impenetrable Forest is one of the last redoubts of the mountain gorilla. Over 400 call this UNESCO-protected national park home, with the chance for visitors to trek to and meet habituated groups. Its biodiversity extends far beyond its most famous inhabitants, however; 348 bird species and 220 butterfly species can be found within its 331-square-kilometer expanse. Samburu, Kenya Thanks to its relative inaccessibility, Samburu, in the heart of Kenya, is a haven for some of Africa's most beguiling wildlife. The grassland and acacia-dotted landscapes of its national reserve are home to the endangered reticulated giraffe and Grevy's zebra, as well as the pioneering Elephant Watch Camp, run by conservationist Saba Douglas-Hamilton. Mount Toubkal, Morocco At 4,167 meters (13,671 feet), Mount Toubkal lays claim to the title of "the roof of North Africa." The path to its summit zigzags across empty valleys, past holy shrines and up steep snowfields before emerging onto a ridge that falls away to give climbers unrivaled views across the Atlas Mountains. It's a peaceful world away from the buzz of nearby Marrakech. Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, China China's first UNESCO World Heritage site, Zhangjiajie National Forest Park in Hunan Province is known for its towering sandstone pillars. Best explored on foot, its back trails make for an easy way to escape the crowds and find the best views. As the mists descend, it's easy to see why this area has long been an inspiration for traditional Chinese paintings. Ha Long Bay, Vietnam Its enduring popularity has made Ha Long Bay one of the hottest natural attractions in Southeast Asia. But that doesn't stop it from being the most beautiful place in Vietnam. With 1,969 islets of hulking limestone and deep, green waters that are home to myriad floating villages, this is a place where time slows to a standstill. Sail on a junk boat or pick up a kayak, and get lost in the quieter reaches of this vast and fascinating corner of the South China Sea. El Nido, Philippines At the northerly tip of the Philippine island of Palawan, El Nido is the ideal base for a diving adventure. Bacuit Bay, to the west, is the best place to start, with lagoons and shallow bays playing home to an unbelievable array of marine life. Its beaches aren't too shabby either: Nacpan Beach is a true slice of paradise; azure waters and pristine white sand satisfy even the most discerning of beach bums, while the peaceful town of Sibaltan in the east offers tropical relaxation in a setting that feels impossible to beat. Rotorua, New Zealand With its otherworldly landscapes and close connections to native Maori culture, Rotorua is New Zealand's crowning glory. Hot Water Beach, on the shores of Lake Tarawara, is the ideal place for a dip in the geothermal-heated waters. Hike through 60-meter-high California Redwoods in Whakarewarewa Forest and catch sight of the region's lakes, the kind of view that feels as if it can never be matched when you're taking it all in. Kata Tjuta, Australia Formerly known as the Olgas, Kata Tjuta, in the heart of Australia's Red Centre, is one of the most sacred sites in Aboriginal culture. The Anandu people, who have lived here for over 22,000 years, manage the land with Australian park authorities. The site's stone domes are best explored as the light changes at sunrise and sunset -- dedicated tours led by Anandu people explain the significance of the "Many Heads" and their place in their traditional myths, known as Dreamtime tales. The Maldives The sand of its 1,200 islands is as white as it gets, the water a deep blue that puts all other seas in the shade. The Indian Ocean nation of the Maldives has developed into the world's premier tropical hotspot for a reason. Best of all, there's plenty of beach to go around, with over 100 private resorts and welcoming, affordable guesthouses around the Male and Ari atolls. Sip on a cocktail, take a swim or dive to some of the finest coral reefs on the planet, where schools of fish sweep and sharks hide in the depths. Petra, Jordan The perfectly preserved ancient Nabatean city of Petra is renowned for the narrow passage of the Siq which leads to the famous Treasury, or Al Khazna. Explore its temples, tombs and alleyways on camel back or strap on your walking boots and hike around its walkways for a truly mesmerizing experience. Atacama Desert, Chile With the clearest skies on the planet, Chile's Atacama Desert is the ultimate destination for stargazing. It's earth's driest desert, meaning cloud cover is nonexistent, so even without a telescope, you'll get views of the night sky that'll take your breath away. The landscape is stunning, too, with deep craters and smoldering volcanoes visible on the horizon as the sun goes down. Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, Costa Rica Shrouded in near permanent cloud, the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve in Costa Rica is the most magical corner of this tiny, biodiverse country. Its muggy, damp environment is a haven for a truly astonishing array of birds, big cats and insects. Keep a keen eye out for the resplendent quetzal, one of Earth's most beautiful birds. The winding trails through lush undergrowth make it easy to explore, too. Ciudad Perdida, Colombia Accessible only by foot, Colombia's Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) is one of the most fascinating ancient ruins on Earth. Believed to pre-date Peru's Machu Picchu by as much as 650 years, the city's terraces and statues attract far fewer visitors, making it much less hectic to explore. The hike to Ciudad Perdida itself is one of the greatest hikes in the world, a multi-day epic adventure through lush rainforest that is unforgettable as it is challenging. Dominica Dominica is known as "nature island" for a reason. This tiny Caribbean state, focused on hot springs and rainforest treks rather than flopping on the beach, is nothing like its neighboring islands. Boiling Lake, in the Morne Trois Pitons National Park, is accessible via steep, mountainous paths, an ethereal body of water that is well worth the hike. For divers, Champagne Reef, with its explosions of colorful plants and fish, is a true paradise. Svalbard, Norway I n the middle of the Arctic Ocean, between the North Pole and mainland Norway, the Svalbard Islands are the perfect destination for polar exploration. The thousands of polar bears make Svalbard one of the best places in the world to see these increasingly elusive creatures up close, while its dark wintry skies are regularly cloaked in the Northern Lights. Ride a snowmobile or take a husky ride across the monochrome snowscape. Lake Bled, Slovenia The glistening blue water. The soaring backdrop of the Julian Alps. The famous church perched on an island at its center. It's no surprise that Lake Bled has developed into one of the hottest destinations in Europe in recent years. That means big crowds in summer, but don't be put off. Ripe for hiking and swimming adventures, this is a corner of Slovenia that demands to be explored. Cappadocia, Turkey Turkey's Mediterranean coast gets all the attention when it comes to getting some much-needed rest. But Cappadocia, deep within the Anatolian plains at the country's center, is the country's greatest gem. The Fairy Chimneys near Gerome are the area's most enduring sight, with ancient churches and monasteries carved into the bizarre geological formations. Its underground cities are also essential stop-offs. Positano, Italy Perched on Italy's gorgeous Amalfi Coast, Positano is one of the most beautiful villages in Europe. Known for its killer boutiques and waterside restaurants, not to mention the Byzantine Church of Maria Assunta, it makes for the perfect summer getaway. Make sure to appreciate its full form by taking a boat out from the pebble beach for excellent sunset views. Lake District, UK Dramatics mountains, moody weather and ancient lakes have all helped make the UNESCO-protected Lake District an inspiration for artists, dreamers and wanderers. Wordsworth and Coleridge's poetry helped turn this stunning corner of England into a tourist hotspot, while the hand-drawn guide books and maps of rambler Alfred Wainwright have made it a Mecca for walkers and those looking to escape the bustle of the city. Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia Croatia's status as the ultimate European outdoor escape has long been assured. And in Plitvice Lakes National Park, which has enjoyed protected status since 1949, lies one of the most arresting sights in the world: A series of 16 lakes connected via waterfalls that are constantly changing the formation of the tufa rocks over which they flow. A vast network of paths and boardwalks around the lakes make it easy to explore, with lush woodland and beguiling wildlife at every turn. Vancouver Island, Canada With over 2,000 miles of coastline, almost 10,000 lakes and acres of soaring mountains, Vancouver Island is like Canada in miniature. Its surfing is among the best in the world, but take a boat out in the summer for possible orca sightings. Land lovers have plenty to appreciate about the back trails criss-crossing the island, encouraging exploration by bike or on foot. Head toward the forest on the trail of Roosevelt elk and grizzly bears for more thrills. Denali National Park, Alaska Home to North America's highest peak, Denali National Park is one of the most tranquil places on Earth. Its six million acres of wild space make for the perfect escape, whether on a mountaineering adventure or a bus ride along the Denali Park Road. In September and October, look out for moose engaged in the annual "rut" -- males battling for dominance, often in fights to the death. Grizzly bears can be seen throughout the year, too. Come in winter for a chance to catch sight of the Northern Lights. Horseshoe Bend, Arizona No river meander captures the imagination as much as Horseshoe Bend. Here, the Colorado river turns back on itself having spent thousands of years carving a route through the desert. Close to the entrance to Grand Canyon National Park, it's within easy walking distance of the nearest road, making it a breeze to grab a quick snap from the lookout above the outer edge of the bend. Badlands, South Dakota Renowned for its rich fossil beds, Badlands, named by the native Lakota tribe for its arid and extreme terrain, is unlike anywhere else in the United States. The short Door Trail affords superb views of the surreal rocky peaks that cover the landscape. It's possible to camp here, watching the sun rise and color the rocks in brilliant hues. Monument Valley, Utah Monument Valley is the Wild West of the imagination. Its bright red mesas and buttes, standing high above the desert, are the stuff of legend. Ideal for a road trip, iconic Route 163 offers some of the best views of this protected land. It's possible to get up close on horseback tours and live out those western movie dreams.[/INST]25 of the most beautiful places around the world</s> |
<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Can you guess which one was introduced first? A&W (1919) That's right the root beer kings founded the first-ever chain restaurant in America. By the 1970s, A&W even had more locations open than McDonald's. Today, it isn't known for their food as much as for its root beer... but we wouldn't have it any other way. Pick up some A&W to make our Root Beer Float Cake . White Castle (1921) White Castle got its start by selling five-cent sliders, a cheaper take on hamburgers. The business model worked, and White Castle is still around more than 90 years later. In 2014, Time named the Original Slider the 'most influential burger of all time!' Take the slider from their castle to yours with 36 sliders you can make at home . Dairy Queen (1940) This chain has had more than 75 years' experience flipping your Blizzard upside down! Dairy Queen was one of the first restaurant franchises ever founded, but strangely enough, the first location wasn't in a big metropolis like most of the other chains. Instead, the first soft-serve cone came out of Joliet, Illinois. Undertake your own small-scale operation with 20 Dairy Queen recipes you can make at home . McDonald's (1948) Even though most people assume it would be first, McDonald's actually wasn't the first major quick-service burger chain. Its predecessor, McDonald's Bar-B-Q, opened in 1948, though the restaurant didn't really take off until 1955, when Ray Kroc opened his own McDonald's with the vision of creating a powerhouse franchise. Today, McDonald's is often thought of as the world's most popular fast food chain, but it's actually second to this surprising front-runner . Dunkin' Donuts (1948) First it was called Open Kettle and then Kettle Donuts but the Dunkin' Donuts we know and love started back in the 1940s, long before dropping Donuts from its name. (That's way before the first Starbucks, which opened in the 1970s.) While you grab your hot coffee, consider these 13 surprising things Dunkin' Donuts employees want you to know . In-N-Out (1948) With that classic red and yellow logo with '40s-style graphic design, you can tell In-N-Out has been around for a while . This California-based burger stand is known for its high-quality fast food, thick milkshakes and not-so-secret secret menu. The original location of the restaurant used to exist on what's now Interstate 10. Bring the crazy-popular recipes to your kitchen with these 8 In-N-Out copycat recipes. Jack in the Box (1951) Jack in the Box might not have been the first chain restaurant out there, but it was originally the fastest. The restaurant pioneered the intercom system for drive-through service, which included two-way radio communication and a separate pick-up window! Fast track to the 14 secret menu items you need to order at your favorite restaurants . KFC (1952) KFC was founded in Salt Lake City. The store's original location is credited with inventing the rotating sign, which featured an illustration of a giant bucket of chicken that could spin 360 degrees. You can make KFC chicken at home here's the top-secret recipe . Denny's (1953) Denny's didn't always start out as a diner ... at first, it specialized in donuts! Then, the restaurant switched its business model to focus on coffee before finally transforming into the 24-hour pancakes-and-burgers franchise that exists today. The chain's current logo might look retro, but it's actually not it was designed in 2002. Sonic (1953) Compared to most of today's fast food places, which have a drive-through and pick-up windows, Sonic is unique. If you've ever ordered a Sonic Bacon Cheeseburger , you'll know that you park your car at one of the drive-in stations, place your order, and wait for a server to bring the food. This method of delivery is part of what made Sonic so successful in its early day. Travel back in time with photos of the original locations of your favorite fast food restaurants . Waffle House (1955) With that iconic yellow-lettered sign, Waffle House is easy to spot from miles away. This chain was founded in the suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia, and the first restaurant was actually converted into a Waffle House museum. You can make Waffle House waffles at home here's how . IHOP (1958) Americans were shocked to hear that IHOP was changing its name to IHOB to promote the chain's new hamburgers. Luckily, in honor of its 60th anniversary, the International House of Pancakes decided to go back to its original name and we're glad it did. Speaking of origins learn about the surprising birthplaces of 20 of your favorite foods and drinks . Pizza Hut (1958) That's right Pizza Hut was the first chain pizza joint in America. The original restaurant was less-than-large, with only 25 seats. The owners also only had space on the sign for nine letters, so they decided to call the place 'Pizza Hut' due to the building's small size. Though they may seem small, here's 33 things fast food restaurant workers won't tell you . Domino's (1960) This iconic pizza place got their start in 1960, but it didn't get its name until 1965. The original locations were called DomiNick's, and this surprising story behind the name for Domino's and other pizza delivery spots tells why. TGI Friday's (1965) The founder of TGI Friday's was living in New York City when he realized it was hard to meet people, since most bars were filled with couples.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Yatil Green is one of the more tragic stories in recent Miami Dolphins memory. Wearing the number '87', he serves as today's representative as the countdown to football continues - the season opener looming 87 days away. The selection of Green really doesn't have anything to do with calling out Green's pro career, however. To be frank, the collection of players to band together and wear number '87' in the history of the Miami Dolphins is pretty bland. Which makes Green's tragedy worth showcasing. For casual fans, Yatil Green is just another casual draft bust - the Dolphins drafted him out of the University of Miami with the 15th overall selection in the 1997 NFL Draft, only to see him catch 18 passes in three years in a Dolphins uniform. Talk about an all-time bust, right? It's not that simple. Yatil Green's physical prowess never got the chance to shine in Miami in large part because his body betrayed him - Green absolutely shredded his right knee during the first day of training camp his rookie year. One year later, another ACL tear of the same knee shelved him again. And remember - these were the late nineties. ACL repairs these days feel quite casual, this was a big setback to endure once, let alone twice. Green would log just 18 catches in his third and final season in Miami before being cut - never finding the end zone along the way.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>You're running late for an important meeting, party, date, event-you name it. You jump into your trusty ride, twist the key, and click-click-click-click . You're not going anywhere. It's the sickening sound of a dead battery, exactly when you don't need it. Of course! You know what's next: You need a jump. If you're lucky enough to have a friend or relative who (a) lives nearby, (b) is home, (c) is willing to help you out, and (d) has a set of jumper cables, there's still one last problem: You also need to know how to jump-start your car properly, so that you don't damage either vehicle's battery-or, worse, get injured in the process. Follow these steps to do it correctly and safely. Step 1: Park the Second Vehicle Close Park the car with the good battery nose to nose with yours without the two vehicles touching, close enough that the jumper cables will reach. (Most vehicles have their battery in the engine compartment; some have the battery in the trunk.) Turn off the engine in the vehicle with the good battery. Raise the hoods of both vehicles and locate the two batteries. Step 2: Locate the Battery Terminals It's time to locate the positive and negative battery terminals, to which you will be connecting the jumper cables momentarily. As shown in the above illustration, the terminals are clearly marked with a "+" and a "-" sign. The positive (+) terminal is often covered by a plastic cap (which you'll need to flip out of the way). FYI, the wire running from the car to the positive terminal is red; the wire to the negative terminal is black. The jumper cable's clamps are color coded in red and black as well, so it's easy to know what goes where. Step 3: Connect the Cables to the Battery Terminals Make sure none of the jumper cable's clamps are touching one another. To start, you'll probably need to leave one end of the cable and its two clamps on the ground, with the red and black clamps separated, while holding the other end, which you're about to connect to the dead battery. (If you have a helper, that person can hold the other end of the jumper cable, being sure not to allow the clamps to touch.) Take the red clamp in your hand and attach it to the positive terminal of the dead battery. Do not let the black clamp on that end of the jumper cable touch metal or the red clamp. After you've attached the red clamp to the positive terminal, set the black clamp down on a plastic part under the hood. Wiggle the red clamp you've just attached to make sure that it's biting into the metal part of the terminal and has a good connection. Now, attach the red clamp at the other end of the jumper cable (the end you've laid on the ground) to the good battery's positive terminal, and attach the black clamp on that same end to the good battery's negative terminal. Remember not to let the clamps touch while you are making the connections. Next, find a piece of bare metal under the hood of the car with the dead battery-an unpainted bolt head sticking out from the body will do. (See the illustration below.) Attach the remaining black clamp to it. Do not attach this last black clamp to the dead battery! That could cause a spark and could potentially ignite a fire under the hood (though this is an extremely rare occurrence). In the illustration above, we've attached the negative jumper-cable clamp to a bare metal bolt sticking up from the suspension shock tower. (Many cars have bolts in this position.) Wiggle all of the clamps to make sure they are making a good connection. Step 4: Starting Your Engine Make sure the jumper cable is routed away from any moving parts, like the cars' fans or accessory belts. If it's clear, you can start the engine in the car with the good battery. Let it idle for two or three minutes to trickle a small charge into your vehicle's dead battery. Then attempt to start your vehicle. If it won't start right away, turn the key to off and let the other vehicle continue to idle for 10 or 15 minutes, then try again. If it still doesn't start, then your battery is probably beyond repair. Step 5: Disconnecting the Jumper Cables If your car does start, leave it running. Now disconnect the battery cables by first removing the negative clamp from the bare metal connection under your car's hood. Then remove the red clamp from your battery's positive terminal-and do not let the clamps touch. Place them on the ground with the clamps separated. Then remove the red clamp from the good battery, and finally, remove the black clamp. You're good to go-for now, anyway. If It Happens Again If, after you've driven your car for a half hour or more, it fails to restart, you have a problem that you must deal with. Either your battery is permanently dead and needs to be replaced or there's something wrong with your car's charging system. You'll need to take your vehicle to a repair shop or dealer for diagnosis. Or you can remove your battery and take it to an auto-parts store-some stores will test your battery. If it's toast, you can pick up a new battery while you're there and install it yourself.[/INST]How to Jump-Start Your Car</s> |
<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>There's a shark on the runway. No, it's not some nightmare scenario brought about by severe flooding, but a real-deal Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, painted up in a special great white shark livery. In recent months, this ferocious flier has been turning heads and starring in travel Instagrams from the Maldives to South Africa while on a world tour and in October, it was spied at Nepal's Kathmandu-Tribhuvan International Airport following a fly-past of Mount Everest. Nicknamed the Profit Hunter, this is the show plane for Boeing and Embraer's E2 family of regional jets, which encompasses the E175-E2, E190-E2, and E195-E2, and it's stealing some of the attention that's lately been lavished on its competitor, the Airbus A220 . The A220 series was originally created by Canadian manufacturer Bombardier as the C Series, with the first jets off the line sold to Swiss International Air Lines, which has been flying them since 2016. AirBaltic became the second C Series operator in late 2016, and Korean Air took delivery of its own in December 2017, with Delta also placing orders and planning to commence regular A220 flights in 2019. E2 vs A220 However, it was in October 2017 that Airbus announced a partnership with Bombardier, which evolved into a majority stake in the manufacturer and a rebrand of the C Series to A220 during the Farnborough Airshow in July 2018. The rivalry between the Embraer's E2 series and the Airbus A220 reached its zenith at Farnborough, when JetBlue Airways ordered 60 A220s over the E2s, to replace its Embraer 190 fleet. First deliveries of these aren't expected until 2020, but for travelers who have come to know, and perhaps love, the smaller aircraft of the JetBlue fleet (the airline currently only operates Airbus A320s and Embraer E190s), the change to Airbus A220s means losing an overlooked amenity that's a trademark of Embraer: no middle seats. Embraer's country-hopping world tour is the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer's chance to demonstrate to clients, as well as to the traveling public, that it has new aircraft too, and with technical and comfort advances developed since the early 2000s introduction of the first E-jet generation, of which more than 1,400 currently fly for operators around the world. Larger windows, bigger bins So what are those advances, specifically? Although details like legroom and seating configuration are decisions left to each airline customer, the new-generation aircraft offer some guaranteed benefits for passengers, like re-designed windows with larger frames to make the cabin brighter, overhead bins that are 40% larger and able to fit standard carry-on luggage wheels-first, and no under-seat support rails to impede legroom. "Preserving passenger personal space is the goal," Rodrigo Silva e Souza, vice-president of marketing for Embraer Commercial Aviation, tells CNN Travel . The interiors of the E2 aircraft aim for a "wide-body cabin feel" to "give passengers the impression of having greater space, or of being on a larger aircraft." Even though travelers may feel as though they're flying in a larger plane, there's one distinct feature that is undeniably Embraer, and which will continue with the E2 jets: the absence of middle seats. Improved fuel efficiency Not even the most miserly airlines can wedge middle seats into these aircraft; the configuration will be 2-2, with passengers assigned to either a window or aisle. Embraer even offers a premium cabin option of staggered seats, with the aim of increasing privacy and eliminating shoulder-to-shoulder squish. On the technical side, improved fuel efficiency and reduced emissions are major selling points, and made possible thanks to a completely new, high-aspect-ratio wing design. The aircraft are also lighter overall, due to utilization of the latest fly-by-wire technology. While the shark-snouted plane continues its world tour, Embraer E2 jets with less showstopping paint jobs are already entering into regular passenger service. Where to fly The first E190-E2 was delivered in April to Scandinavian Airlines' regional subsidiary, Widerøe, and the airline is now flying three of the type around Norway. The largest E2 customer is SkyWest, a regional airline affiliate flying for the likes of American Airlines, Delta, United and Alaska Airlines. Their order, the first placed when the E2 program launched at the 2013 Paris Air Show, is for 100 of the smallest E2 jet, the E175-E2, which can carry 80-90 passengers, depending on configuration. This means the new E2 jets will surprise passengers in the States with more spacious interiors, larger overhead bins, and that "new airplane smell" US regional jets lost long ago -- albeit not until 2021 when the first E175-E2 orders are scheduled for delivery. FlightGlobal reports that Embraer has also highlighted Alaska Airlines, Spirit and United as the US carriers most likely to benefit from replacing some of their current narrow-body fleet with E2 jets. AerCap, an independent aircraft-leasing company with airline customers around the world, signed the second-largest E2 order, for more than 20 each of the larger E190-E2 and E195-E2 variants, and has confirmed Kazakhstan's Air Astana as the first placement when their deliveries commence in 2019. Brazil's Azul, Switzerland's Helvetic, Kuwait's Wataniya and China's Tianjin Airlines have also ordered variants from the E2 family. Embraer hasn't said what will happen to the great white E190-E2 when its global sortie comes to an end, but the unique scheme, combined with the brighter interiors free from middle seats, is working to prove that regional jets are greater than minnows in the commercial airline industry.[/INST]Embraer E190 E2 looks like a shark, has no middle seats</s> |

Dillashaw isn't surprised that his former training partner Urijah Faber is returning to MMA. T.J. Dillashaw isn't surprised to see Urijah Faber back, but believes his former teammate is making the wrong move by exiting retirement. Faber, who retired from MMA in 2016, recently announced that he is returning to MMA competition. "The California Kid," a former WEC champ and current UFC Hall of Famer, retired in 2016 after a win over Brad Pickett. Faber is set to meet prospect Ricky Simon at UFC Sacramento on July 13. Ex-UFC bantamweight champion Dillashaw, who used to train with Faber at Team Alpha Male, said that Faber should have stayed put. "I could always tell when he retired that it wasn't going to be the last fight," Dillashaw said on Chael Sonnen's podcast You're Welcome . "On a technical level, (he) probably maybe should have stayed retired, especially with the young and hungry guys coming up. I'm hoping he's not hurting for money, even though we've had our beefs and whatever you never want to wish that bad on someone. Personally, I think he probably should have stayed retired, but we'll see. We'll see how he comes out." Dillashaw and Faber trained together in Sacramento for years before a nasty split in 2015 that saw Dillashaw move to Colorado to train full time with former Team Alpha Male head coach Duane Ludwig, who opened his own gym there. Dillashaw said Faber gave him a choice of either staying with Team Alpha Male or leaving to train with Ludwig. After choosing the latter, Dillashaw said, Faber kicked him out of the gym. Dillashaw, who failed a USADA drug test for EPO earlier this year, has since moved his training camps to a gym in California called The Treigning Lab, where he works with UFC featherweight Cub Swanson, Bellator contender Juan Archuleta, among others. When asked if the bad blood between him and Faber is real, Dillashaw assured Sonnen that it is. Dillashaw added that he would be more than willing to fight Faber once his suspension is up in January 2021. "Of course," Dillashaw said. "It is (bad enough blood to fight him). It's real. He's the one that created the whole (beef by) forcing me out of the gym. "We were close friends at one time. For a quick change of me following a head coach, he made me out to look like that much of a bad guy."[/INST]Dillashaw: Faber 'probably should have stayed retired'</s> |

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>LOS ANGELES A 70-year-old runner whose record finish in the Los Angeles Marathon was tossed over cheating allegations was found dead in a dry, concrete channel of the Los Angeles River, officials said Friday. Los Angeles firefighters responded to a call at 9:48 a.m. Thursday of a possible jumper above the dry river channel and made the grim discovery. Frank Meza, a physician and marathon runner, was found in a part of the channel northwest of downtown and was pronounced dead at 10:05 a.m. Thursday, according to Sarah Ardalani, a spokeswoman for the L.A. County Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner. Meza's wife, Faustina Nevarez, who is also a physician, said she has not learned further details yet. "I haven't seen anything else; he's dead," she told NBC News on Friday. Nevarez called her husband a kind and soft-spoken man with many admirers. "He has helped numerous people, people who worked with him, people who loved him, people who admired him and they've been breaking down my door" with condolences and sympathy, Nevarez said, her voice cracking with emotion. In March, Meza crossed the finish line of the Los Angeles Marathon in 2 hours, 53 minutes and 10 seconds the fastest ever for a man his age. But last week, race officials said they erased Meza's run from their records "after an extensive review of original video evidence from official race cameras and security cameras at retail locations along the race course." "Dr. Frank Meza violated a number of race rules ... including re-entering the course from a position other than where he left it," according to race officials . "The video evidence is confirmed by a credible eyewitness report and our calculation that Dr. Meza's actual running time for at least one 5K course segment would have had to have been faster than the current 70-74 age group 5K world-record [an impossible feat during a marathon]." The retired physician denied the cheating allegation, telling the Los Angeles Times on Monday: "I didn't cut the course." His wife said bloggers had been mercilessly cruel in attacking Meza since the controversy became known. "I don't know why we were being attacked as a family; he kept most of it away from me," she said. Meza's death stunned the running community. "We are deeply saddened to learn of the death of Dr. Frank Meza," Murphy Reinschreiber, chief operating officer of the L.A. Marathon organizer Conqur Endurance Group, said in a statement. "Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family. Derek Murphy, an amateur sleuth who investigates cases of potential marathon cheating, also offered his condolences in a statement. "I am deeply saddened to learn of Frank Meza's death," said Murphy, who had been closely monitoring the case. "My heart goes out to his family and friends, and I wish for everyone to be respectful and to keep his loved ones in mind." Meza had practiced family medicine at Kaiser Permanente in Southern California and hospital officials said he preached healthy living to his patients. "As a physician, Dr. Meza cared deeply for his patients and our communities and went above and beyond to serve them," according to statement by Southern California Permanente Medical Group. "He was an ardent believer in healthy living, which was exemplified through his passion for running and the work he did to improve the health and opportunities for the Latino community. Dr. Meza will be missed immensely." Eric Leonard reported from Los Angeles and David K. Li from New York[/INST]70-year-old marathon runner who was accused of cheating found dead</s> |

Even though the heaviest rain from a storm and tropical moisture is likely to slip to the south of Nashville, rain is in the offing every day. While it will not rain the entire time during the four-day stretch, enough rain is forecast to necessitate plastic rain ponchos and waterproof shoes. The steadiest rain is likely to occur from Saturday to Sunday. Intertwined with some of the rain through Sunday will be a couple of thunderstorms, which may get feisty at the local level with brief, strong wind gusts and lightning strikes. Temperatures will mainly be in the 70s F, including during the day in rain, so the risk of heat exhaustion will be lower than during some of the years in the past. However, brief spikes to the middle 80s can occur when and where the sun tries to peek out, and humidity levels will be rather high most days. Outdoor events will take place at Nissan Stadium, Firestone Country Roads Stage, the Chevrolet Riverfront Stage, Chevrolet Breakout Stage, the Budweiser Forever Country Stage and others. The CMA Fest, which started in 1972, is the longest-running country music festival in the world.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>GARFIELD Dozens gathered on a sunny Saturday to honor the past and commemorate a winning team in the City of Champions. The Garfield Black History Committee as well as the mayor and council unveiled a monument to the Garfield Colored Giants, a team that competed in the New Jersey Semi-Professional Negro Baseball League from 1920-1950. That team won the championship in 1949. "This is a team that most people here never knew," said Reginald Buggs, president of the committee. "They were not accepted in their own community. They were true patriots who didn't let that affect their love of the game or the country." The Buggs family had three sons on the team and many of those in attendance Saturday were descendants of the players themselves. Horace Buggs, the last living member of the team, was on hand and called it an "important day" for the community. He also noted that many members of the team served in the military. He served in the Korean War, where he earned a Purple Heart. Councilman Frank Calandriello said that honoring the team was "long overdue." "These are some of the city's longest residents and they've been here all their lives," he said. "It shows that Garfield is a diverse, multicultural place and I'm happy that they are getting the recognition they deserve." City Manager Tom Duch, who Buggs thanked for his involvement, echoed those sentiments and pointed out that some of the family names associated with the team are an integral part of Garfield's history. This all came from a photo, Reginald Buggs said. He explained that John P. Logan, one of the former players, received a copy of a photo of that 1949 championship team. That photo ran in a book about the city written by Howard Lanza. From there it was brought before the governing body and the decision to honor the team was made, which is something Duch was happy about. Duch said that city has always "tried to recognize and acknowledge everyone" and was "thrilled" to see this done while there was still someone from the team around to enjoy it. Buggs noted that the members on the team overcame obstacles to be able to play at a time when "Jim Crow was alive and well." Nancy Everett, a representative from the office of Congressman Bill Pascrell Jr. also pointed out that this team helped "pave the way for Jackie Robinson, Larry Doby, Hank Aarons and the Willie Mays." The monument, which bears both the picture and a message about the team, is the first of its kind in Bergen County, Mayor Richard Rigoglioso said. After it was unveiled, many in the crowd were emotional. Buggs said that he was pleased with how well it looked. "I had no idea it would be so nice," he said. "The picture on there is better than the original."

More than 400 pilots are sueing Boeing, accusing Boeing of an "unprecedented coverup" and citing lost wages as a result of the plane's grounding. Southwest Airlines pilots are also seeking compensation from Boeing, CNBC reported, over lost wages and legal fees due to the 737 Max crisis. The pilots join a growing list of airlines from around the world that want compensation or amending orders as Boeing's crisis continues, even as some of them continue to express support for the manufacturer. Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Several hundred pilots have joined a growing list of carriers in looking for compensation from Boeing as the 737 Max plane remains grounded around the world following two fatal crashes. More than 400 737 Max pilots have launched a class action lawsuit against the manufacturer , accusing it of an "unprecedented" cover-up of "know design flaws" in the plane, and saying that they have lost wages and experienced career uncertainty because of the plane's grounding. CNBC also reported that Southwest Airlines pilots are seeking compensation from Boeing because of lost wages and legal fees in complying with the Department of Justice's investigation into how the plane was certified to fly. The pilots join airlines in the US, Europe, China, and around the world that have reacted to the crashes or the wait for Boeing the plane to return to service by cancelling or amending orders, or looking for compensation. Here is the full list of airlines: Qatar Airways: The airline's CEO told Reuters that the airline needs compensation because Air Italy, which is serves as a major shareholder for, had to ground its 737 Max planes. Xiamen Airlines and Fuzhou Airlines: The airlines want compensation for economic losses they have incurred since grounding the plane in March, and for delayed deliveries of more planes, according to state-aligned Chinese outlet the Global Times reported. Air China, China Southern Airlines, and China Eastern Airlines: The airlines are asking for compensation for losses after the grounding of the planes and delayed deliveries of new Max planes. Ryanair: The budget airline's CEO said he wants compensation for the delays, but said his company still has confidence in Boeing. Turkish Airlines: The airline's chairman said he expects compensation from Boeing and would talk with the manufacturer about its orders. FlyDubai: FlyDubai's chairman said in April that the airline has the "right" to ask for compensation and could replace its order for Max jets with an order from Airbus, Boeing's European rival, amid uncertainty over when the Max will fly again. Norwegian Air: Norwegian said in March that it was seeking compensation from Boeing for its grounded fleets. Southwest: Gary Kelly, Southwest's chief executive, said the airline would talk to Boeing "privately" about arrangements, The Financial Times reported , though he told Bloomberg that it was "premature" to talk about what compensation it was seeking. United Airlines: United's chief financial officer said in April that the airline would discuss compensation with Boeing over the grounding of the planes. Garuda: Indonesia's flagship airline asked to cancel a $5 billion order for 737 Max planes because passengers "lost trust and no longer have the confidence" in the plane. Boeing's Max planes were grounded around the world after an Ethiopian Airlines plane crashed in March, killing all 157 people on board. The plane was the second Max to crash in less than five months, following a Lion Air plane that crashed in Indonesia killing the 189 people on board in October 2018. Boeing has completed a software update for the Max, which will undergo scrutiny from the US Federal Aviation Administration and regulators around the world before the plane can return to the skies. Read more: After the first fatal 737 Max crash, Boeing said it hadn't installed an extra safety feature because it might 'confuse' pilots But the groundings, delayed deliveries of new Max planes, and continuing uncertainty over when the plane will be able to return to service has led airlines to cancel months of flights and warn of hits to their profits . European and US airlines have warned that they will lose hundreds of millions of dollars over the crisis. Southwest, which has the largest 737 Max fleet in the world, said it lost $200 million in the first three months of 2019 due to cancellations caused by the grounding of the plane and the government shutdown. The crisis cost Boeing itself $1 billion in the first quarter of 2019, and it also faces lawsuits from victims' families and from shareholders and federal investigations into how the plane got certified in addition to the airlines' demands. Boeing has promised that the plane will be one of the "safest ever to fly" when it returns to service and that the company will "earn and re-earn" flyers' trust. It said that it is working closely regulators and with airlines and pilots to provide additional training. Do you work at Boeing or the FAA, or are you a pilot? Got a tip or a story to share?

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>NEW ORLEANS (AP) Now that six-time All-Star Anthony Davis' trade request has been honored, it's time for the New Orleans Pelicans to start a new era by drafting the next face of the franchise. Duke star Zion Williamson is widely seen as the top pro prospect to enter any NBA draft since Davis in 2012, and the Pelicans thanks to an unlikely NBA draft lottery victory last month have the right to select him first overall on Thursday night. While new Pelicans executive vice president of basketball operations David Griffin and coach Alvin Gentry have declined to announce their draft intentions, Gentry chuckled when describing the pressure to get the decision right as "Really very little. Minimal, OK? I think we'll make the right decision." The ability to make that first pick this year "gives a boost to our franchise right away," Gentry said. "We're going to end up with a really good basketball player." The Pelicans even posted a compilation of Williamson's Duke highlights on their official website. The 6-foot-7, 285-pound Williamson was just the second freshman to be a consensus national player of the year, along with Kevin Durant with Texas in 2007. While Williamson has yet to exhibit consistent outside shooting, he has displayed a dominant mix of power, quickness and skill that has convinced scouts of his extraordinary promise as a pro. He averaged 22.6 points per game at Duke and also was voted to the ACC's All-Defensive Team after averaging 8.9 rebounds, 2.12 steals and 1.8 blocked shots per game. He leaves Duke as the holder of several freshman records, including single-game scoring after his 35-point outburst against Syracuse in January. And this draft could have enormous, long-term implications for New Orleans even beyond the addition of Williamson because of the bounty of first-round draft choices the Pelicans are to receive from the Los Angeles Lakers as part of the Davis deal . The trade which also sent a total of three first-round picks to the Pelicans won't become official until after the new NBA league year begins July 6. But when the Lakers pick fourth overall, they will effectively select for the Pelicans and eventually will send that player to New Orleans unless that pick is moved in a subsequent trade on behalf of the Pelicans by draft night. And while deciding whether to select Williamson isn't bound to cause any mental anguish or second guesses, deciding who to pick fourth overall could be a much tougher call. Gentry noted that while most drafts have just a few elite prospects, there often are future stars mined from mid- to late-first-round picks never mind a second top-five choice like New Orleans has acquired. "There is the high end, front end of the draft, but there's going to be a guy that's drafted 14 to 25 that's going to be a game changer also," Gentry said. "It's happened almost every year and that's where Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant and Giannis (Antetokounmpo) and those guys were all drafted in that area right there. So, somewhere along the line, there's going to be some surprise guys that'll step up that's going to become really good basketball players." A handful of prospects stand out as possible fourth overall picks, and the position they play could be a factor. The Davis trade brought New Orleans highly regarded small forward Brandon Ingram, point guard Lonzo Ball and shooting guard Josh Hart. Ball and Ingram would be presumed starters alongside veteran guard Jrue Holiday and Williamson at power forward. The only true center on the roster is Jahlil Okafor. Forward Julius Randle also can play center, but is essentially a free agent with a player option to return for next season. Christian Wood, a 6-10 forward who thrived in his short, late-season stint with the Pelicans, also could play center. Texas' Jaxson Hayes (6-11, 220) is widely seen as the top center in the draft, but not necessarily a top-five talent, so free agency might be the more practical route for the Pelicans to pursue an upgrade there. Three players widely projected among picks Nos. 4-6 are Vanderbilt point guard Darius Garland (6-2, 175), Texas Tech shooting guard Jarrett Culver (6-7, 194), and Virginia wing player De'Andre Hunter (6-7, 225). While none of them would be expected to start immediately, each could emerge as an increasingly prominent player in the rotation as the season wears on. And the ability to bring a reliable scorer, playmaker or defender off the bench could make all the difference if the Pelicans find themselves making a playoff push next March. ___ More AP NBA: https://apnews.com/NBA and https://twitter.com/AP_Sports[/INST]Pelicans primed to draft Zion -- and another top-5 prospect</s> |

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>TALLAHASSEE -- For the second day, ousted Broward County Sheriff Scott Israel defiantly defended his performance leading up to the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shootings in Parkland and Wednesday pointedly rejected attempts by the governor's lawyers to get him to say that he was responsible for the 17 lives lost. "The responsibility for taking lives was that of an evil killer,'' Israel responded to questions from the governor's deputy general counsel, Nicholas Primrose, during a hearing before a state Senate special master. Primrose is charged with defending Gov. Ron DeSantis' decision to fulfill a campaign promise and suspend Israel. As a result of the suspension, Israel, 63, faces an abrupt and unexpected halt to his 40-year law enforcement career and has appealed DeSantis' suspension to the Florida Senate, which by state law has the power to reverse a gubernatorial suspension. The state Senate appointed Dudley Goodlette, a Naples lawyer and former Republican state legislator, to serve as special master and conduct the two-day hearing this week. He will make a recommendation to the Senate after he receives written final arguments from both sides on Aug. 19. If the Republican-controlled Senate reverses the governor, it would be a defeat for DeSantis, who made removing the elected sheriff, a Democrat, part of his 2018 campaign platform. He issued the suspension order three days after he was sworn in as governor. Israel accuses the new governor of failing to produce any evidence to support his claim that the sheriff of the state's most heavily Democratic county neglected his duty and was incompetent in his leadership leading up to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland last year. He alleges that DeSantis removed him from office to fulfill a political vendetta on behalf of the National Rifle Association, which DeSantis supports and Israel has sparred with. The battle is likely to remain prolonged. Israel said Wednesday after the conclusion of the hearing that regardless of whether the Senate gives him his job back, he will seek election to another term as Broward sheriff in 2020 a potential clash with DeSantis' appointee, Gregory Tony. DeSantis has already told senators he is watching them. In his state of the state address in January, DeSantis said, "Why any senator would want to thumb his nose at the Parkland families and to eject Sheriff Tony, who is doing a great job and has made history as the first African-American sheriff in Broward history, is beyond me." Primrose and Deputy General Counsel John MacIver chose not to produce any witnesses during two days of hearings this week, allowing Israel and three current and former deputies to be the sole witnesses for the suspended sheriff. Through their questions of Israel, the governor's attorneys attempted to portray Israel as a failed leader for his handing of the Feb. 14, 2018, Parkland shooting and the Jan. 6, 2017 shooting at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, which left five people dead. Primrose grilled Israel about the agency's failure to act when a deputy received a report that the shooter, Nikolas Cruz, in 2016 posted on Instagram that he planned to "shoot up a school." "With something so tragic as a school shooting, there was no policy that if the there was a school shooting event it has to be documented and immediately sent to the sheriff?'' he asked. Israel responded that the deputy violated the policy that required him to write up the incident and was disciplined for it but, he said, if Israel been personally notified about it, "it would not have changed anything." "There were no crimes committed, and this person would not have been arrested,'' Israel said. Israel testified that he is not alone in the belief that while he is responsible for what happens under his watch, he bears no direct responsibility for the massacre. "Not only do I believe it, I have not met one person other than Gov. DeSantis who does believe it,'' he said. He testified that neither the Marjory Stoneman Douglas citizen's commission appointed to make recommendations to increase school safety, nor the commission's chair, Pinellas County Sheriff Bob Gualtieri, recommended Israel's removal. Israel's attorney, Ben Kuehne, played a December interview on Tampa's NBC6 television in which Gualtieri said he would not recommend DeSantis remove Israel from office for misfeasance, incompetence or neglect of duty. "Just because your people are imperfect, or in some cases wrong, or in some cases negligent, or in some cases act improperly or engage in malfeasance or misfeasance like Peterson, that doesn't mean the sheriff did," Gualtieri told the reporter, referring to former school resource deputy Scot Peterson. Gualtieri is a Republican and was named National Sheriff of the Year by the National Sheriff's association. In answers to a series of questions from Kuehne, Israel testified that Peterson, who last month was arrested by state law enforcement officers, failed to follow the active shooter policy. Israel also said that while he was obligated to train his deputies, and conducted training that included a one-of-a-kind active shooter simulation at Pompano High School that received national attention, he should not be held responsible for Peterson's failure to follow the department's policy and enter the school to confront the shooter. He testified that the BSO training policy was specific: "You will pursue. You will enter, and you will take that person into custody as soon as is humanly possible with no exceptions." He said the governor and his attorneys are wrong to "think I could provide any man or woman on this earth with courage and the desire to go inside when their conscience tells them not to go in." "Had I had that knowledge, I would have removed him as a deputy,'' Israel said. Israel testified that the improvements he implemented since the shooting include signing a memorandum of understanding with the Broward School District that allows law enforcement to monitor the video cameras on school property. He said he created a real-time crime center to monitor happenings in schools, including the ability to pick up the sound of gunfire, and rolled out an app called "Safer Watch" to allow the public to report crimes of bullying and other threats that would more easily allow the agency to follow up. Kuehne said he is confident the state Senate will overlook politics and restore Israel to his job because the governor's lawyers not only failed to call any witnesses but produced "no support, no evidence standards" to prove their claims that Israel was incompetent. "Who possibly besides the governor with no law enforcement experience, no leadership experience whatsoever in terms of running a law enforcement agency has made the decision,'' he asked after the hearing. DeSantis spokesperson, Helen Ferre, responded that "the internal documents created by the BSO and presented at the hearing speak for themselves as to what happened February 14, 2018, showing that Scott Israel did not properly prepare his force for a crisis that could have ended differently." She defended the decision not to call witnesses to support the case, saying that "taking them away from their duties to protect the community was not necessary given the abundant information already available" and "the most critical witness was Scott Israel." Kuehne said he attempted to subpoena DeSantis "to get him to explain what he means by neglect of duty when there is no duty that he neglected," but Senate President Bill Galvano said he did not have the authority to order the appearance of an executive from another branch of government. Kuehne also bristled at DeSantis' subtle threat to the Senate for hearing Israel's appeal. "His position is my way or the highway,'' he said. "That shows for a governor, who is a lawyer a lack of basic understanding of our constitutional principles." ©2019 the Tampa Bay Times (St. Petersburg, Fla.)

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>ASHEVILLE When 828 Pizzeria's Laura Yakima saw cars bobbing in the parking lot, she figured Thursday night dinner local pint night at the Asheville-based pizzeria was probably not in the cards. "There are cars bobbing out there like buoys," she said via phone from the dining room of the restaurant , at 946 Merrimon Ave., the parking lot essentially a moat on the other side of the front door. "One Nissan out there is just bobbing around." Rainwater came down fast and hard on the afternoon of July 11 in some parts of Asheville, as a band of spotty and active late-summer storms passed through the region. National Weather Service Meteorologist Justin Lane said the NWS station 2 miles northwest of downtown Asheville recorded 1.8 inches of rain in a 45-minute period between 2:15 and 3 p.m. The Weather Service did not have reports of flash flooding elsewhere in the Asheville area, Lane said. More: Merrimon Avenue sinkhole refilled (again) More: City: Sinkhole not caused by public pipes, building is unsafe Water receded fast Like the storms themselves, water came on hard to the North Asheville parking lot, but began to recede quickly. Floodwater that crept into the back of the restaurant had already started to recede less about an hour later. "And the front was completely fine until this person tried to drive through knee-deep water and it sloshed through the front door," Yakima said. She said the flooded parking lot made for an unsafe approach, especially since recent heavy rains had also carried away a storm drain grate, which has since been replaced. "The damage in the building is really not bad enough to close, it's just not safe. Plus, we have some cleaning to do tonight so it doesn't get too muggy in here." The restaurant, which also has an open location in South Asheville at 1854 Hendersonville Road, should be able to open for lunch on July 12.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>The 2019 Volvo V60 is a car that checks all the right boxes. It offers top-notch comfort with useful utility, a driving experience that's both engaging and relaxing, and it looks like a million bucks. Actually, no, two million. Research the Volvo V60 on MSN Autos | Find a Volvo S60/V60 near you But if there's one thing I've learned after a few stints in Volvo's compact wagon, it's that you don't have to spend a ton of money to get a truly luxurious experience. Nicely equipped right from the get-go, the 2019 V60 presents a strong case for going base. 2019 Volvo V60: A stylish, comfortable hauler Forward Momentum "This car will absolutely not be a rental car," Anders Gustafsson, CEO of Volvo North America said at a media event for the S60 sedan and V60 wagon last year. "These are very well-spec'd cars." To that point, the V60 Momentum comes standard with LED lighting, a panoramic moonroof, a 9-inch touchscreen running Volvo's Sensus infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a power tailgate and leather-lined seats. Being a Volvo, safety equipment is in similarly high supply, with the company's City Safety collision avoidance system, run-off road mitigation, lane-keeping assist, road sign information and rear park assist fitted to every V60. It's a great-looking car right out of the box, too. Subtle visual tweaks differentiate the S60 and V60 from their SPA platform mates, and the results speak for themselves. With its upright fascia, long dash-to-axle ratio, wheels pushed out to the corners and slightly reshaped "Thor's Hammer" running lights, the V60 makes an impressive statement on the road -- one that's immediately recognizable as a Volvo, but somehow more interesting. My only recommendation is to ditch the Momentum trim level's standard 17-inch alloy wheels and upgrade to 18s, for $800. You can even go one inch larger and get the 19s pictured on this test car, for $1,000, but I think the not-too-big, not-too-small 18s look best. Less is more The V60 comes with two powertrain choices, both of which can be had with the base Momentum trim level. On the base end, there's the T5, with a 2.0-liter turbocharged I4 that produces 250 horsepower and 258 pound-feet of torque, mated exclusively to front-wheel drive. The more powerful T6 brings all-wheel drive to the V60, and bolts a turbocharger and supercharger onto that 2.0-liter engine, resulting in 316 horsepower and 295 pound-feet of torque. An smooth-acting eight-speed automatic transmission handles shifting duties for both setups. There are merits to both engine choices, but after extended time testing both, my money's on the less-powerful T5. At no point does the turbo-only 2.0-liter engine ever feel underpowered, with plenty of low-end and midrange torque for both off-the-line and at-speed acceleration. Sure, the T6 offers healthy grunt -- and the double dose of forced induction is appreciated while driving at high altitudes -- but it comes with a few tradeoffs. The power arrives at weird peaks during the rev range as the turbocharger and supercharger try to work in harmony. I've always maintained that SPA-platform Volvos are at their best in their least-powerful setups. I like the T5 a lot more than the T6, and prefer both of those to the not-for-US T8 plug-in hybrid I recently had the chance to sample . Despite an additional 56 horsepower and 37 pound-feet of torque, the T6 setup doesn't feel much more powerful. And it doesn't improve on the T5's wonderful, intrinsic balance. Effortless to drive and totally natural-feeling in its responses, the V60 is as enjoyable along mountain road switchbacks as it is down long, boring stretches of highway. The base chassis offers a comfortable ride with a perfect balance of taut reflexes and relaxed manners. Volvo offers its adaptive Four-C chassis for an extra $1,000, but the regular suspension is so good that it's an option box I'd never think to check. Another advantage to the T5 setup is fuel economy, with EPA ratings of 24 miles per gallon in the city, 36 mpg on the highway and 28 mpg combined. The all-wheel-drive T6, meanwhile, reduces those numbers to 21, 31 and 25, respectively. It's also worth noting that pretty much everyone on the Roadshow staff has had a tough time achieving these numbers, regardless of powertrain. After 230 miles of testing a V60 T6 AWD, most of which were spent on the highway, I only saw 24 mpg. The only tangible benefit I can see to the T6 powertrain is that it lets you add all-wheel drive to the party. On the other hand, the T6 engine comes at a $4,500 premium. If foul-weather prowess is the goal, consider waiting for the 2020 V60 Cross Country , which will pair the T5 engine to all-wheel drive for about the same upcharge. Snazzy duds, but not the most space No matter which trim you choose, the V60 offers a great in-car experience. All touchable materials are of the highest quality, and a few bits of brightwork adorn the interior's otherwise minimalist design. Higher-spec R-Design and Inscription models unlock different accent materials, including an open-pore driftwood option. But even in its most basic spec, the V60's cabin is comfy and quiet, with a truly premium feel. The shapely leather seats are some of the most comfortable thrones available at any price point, and opting for the Momentum trim is the only way to get Volvo's ultra-cool City Weave cloth inserts. These bits of stylized fabric add great visual flair, and I can't imagine buying a V60 without 'em. Front and rear passengers have ample space to stretch out, with class-appropriate shoulder- and legroom. Headroom is at a bit of a premium, however -- a byproduct of the V60's sleek shape. At least the standard panoramic sunroof lets a lot of light into the cabin, for a bright, airy ambiance. That low-slung roofline takes its toll out back, too. Make no mistake, the V60's maximum cargo space of 50.9 cubic feet with the second row seats folded is quite generous. Long items like, I don't know, flat-pack Ikea boxes will have no trouble fitting in the back of this spacious Swede. Taller pieces, on the other hand, aren't so easy to accommodate. Both the Audi A4 Allroad and Buick Regal TourX offer more space for hauling. Heck, even the smaller Volkswagen Golf Sportwagen has a more capacious rump. Same ol' Sensus The V60 uses the same Sensus infotainment system as every other Volvo, displayed on a 9-inch, portrait-style touchscreen in the center of the dash. My likes and dislikes are the same here as they are in any other Volvo: Sensus is ultimately a beautiful, feature-rich system, but it's not the easiest to use. Swipe to the left and you'll find buttons for all the car's controls, with easy on-off toggles for various driving aids. Swipe right, and you'll find different multimedia options and third-party apps, and the most recently used function will appear in the lowest tile of the Sensus home screen (this is also where Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is housed). Swipe down from the top, and you'll enter the labyrinth of vehicle settings. From brake pedal effort to Wi-Fi settings, it feels like almost everything is adjustable. In an effort to fix the slow start-up and response times of earlier Sensus systems, Volvo began installing a faster processor into its infotainment hardware. All 2019 model year vehicles have this upgrade. Yes, the software loads more quickly than it did before, but it's still not quick enough. Firing up the V60 on a cold morning, the system lags as I try to activate the heated seats and steering wheel. Once it's up and running, Sensus no longer delays as you move through its myriad menus. But just like your author, it needs a little extra time (and a cup of coffee) before getting to work first thing in the morning. Ace of base The 2019 V60 starts at $38,900, not including $995 for destination, and even in its most basic form, it feels like a lot of car for the money. Make mine a T5 Momentum, add $645 for Denim Blue Metallic (Black Stone is the only no-cost option) paint, $800 for the 18-inch wheels, skip the full-leather seating surfaces so I can get that sweet City Weave upholstery pattern and tack on $750 more for the heated seats and steering wheel. Right there, I'm looking at $41,095 out the door. That said, most buyers will likely opt for things like the $2,500 Multimedia Package, which adds embedded navigation, a Harman Kardon premium audio system and a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, or the $2,500 Advanced Premium Package, which gets you a head-up display, 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise control, LED foglights and other goodies. R-Design and Inscription models come in at $43,900 and $49,400, respectively, the latter of which can only be had as a T6 AWD. Yeah, these trims add some unique bits of styling inside and out, but I don't think any of it is necessary. Besides, the Momentum comes with all the stuff you really need -- and it's as comfortable and good to drive as any other V60 variant. As a starting point from which to create every other 2019 Volvo V60, the Momentum trim level is a strong, solid foundation.

In honor of the upcoming remake of the Disney classic, which opens in theaters on July 19, two luxury travel companies in Kenya and Tanzania are offering "Lion King"-themed itineraries to explore the lands and animals that inspired the films. Starting in July, Zicasso will be introducing its "Family Safari: Pride of Africa" itinerary , an 11-day safari that takes you from the Serengeti to Nairobi on a fun-filled adventure for the entire family. The trip includes 10 nights at luxury accommodations, meals, daily game drives, four private tours, airport pick up and transfer, and local flights. Guests will be traveling throughout Tanzania and Kenya with safari guides who are experts about the environment that inspired Mufasa's Pride Lands, especially lions, and will be able to have some close encounters with wildlife including elephants and giraffes. Stops include three nights in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area, the inspiration for the "Carefree Lands" where Simba learned how to live by "hakuna matata." Next, guests will go to the Olduvai Gorge, the site of the wildebeest stampede and Serengeti National Park. The trip then continues to Nairobi, Kenya, where guests will stop at Daphne Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and the Giraffe Centre, and get an up close and personal glimpse at the endangered Rothschild giraffe. Other stops include the Great Rift Valley and Hell's Gate National Park. Prices for the Zicasso itinerary begins at $5,625 USD per person , based on six people traveling in double occupancy. International flights are not included. Original Travel is also debuting a "Lion King"-themed safari in July. This 14-day itinerary takes you through the Masai Mara, a popular safari spot to see the annual wildebeest migration , and one of the real-life inspirations for the Pride Lands. Guests will stay for three nights at a premier lodge in the Mara, where they can get some personal glimpses at the real animals that inspired memorable characters like Simba, Zazu, the chattering hyenas, and more. The itinerary involves two nights meeting giraffes at Nairobi's Giraffe Manor in Kenya, four nights at a luxury lodge overlooking the Laikipia plateau, and a final four nights relaxing on the beach. Some of the highlights for the journey include stargazing in the Samburu (just like Timon and Pumbaa), visiting Ndare Ngare Forest (where Nala found Simba), and visiting David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which works to rescue orphaned elephants. Prices for this trip begin at $8,335 per person .[/INST]These 'Lion King' Safaris in Kenya and Tanzania Will Show You the Real-life Pride Lands</s> |
<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>It's unclear whether Tiger Woods caught a good or bad break when his second shot on Carnoustie's par-4 11th caromed off a fan during Sunday's final round. What is now known, however, is that the fan he hit came away with an incredible story to tell -- and show. Even if his head and his phone took a bit of a beating in the process. RELATED: Tiger Woods gets unexpected consolation prize for T-6 finish Following the conclusion of the 147th Open Championship, Colin Hauck shared a video he was taking while Woods hit the critical shot that wound up being the turning point of his round. It appears Colin was hoping to capture a potential Tiger highlight, but instead he caught a Bridgestone to the dome. Check out the crazy footage from his vantage point: https://twitter.com/colinhauck/status/1021158706921328640?s=21 Great stuff, Colin. Although, maybe if you were actually watching the shot instead of trying to record it. . . Anyway, the hard bounce resulted in Woods' golf ball winding up much closer to the green. However, now laying in the rough, Woods went for a heroic flop shot, came up short and made a double bogey that dropped him out of the lead in the final round for good. Fortunately for Hauck, he came out of the hole in better shape at least, eventually, because that had to sting at first. Woods walked over, shook his hand and gave him a signed golf glove. And now the fan is the star of a viral video involving the 14-time major champ. WORTH IT.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>PARIS This is where the most anticipated match of the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup will go down. Not in Lyon, France's third-largest city and the site of both semifinals and the championship on July 7, but right here in the City of Light in Friday's quarterfinal, when the title favorite United States and the host nation and No. 1 contender Les Bleues face off at the Parc des Princes in a battle between the best two teams in the sport. "I truly think this is the world game for women," U.S. coach Jill Ellis said of Friday's contest after her team narrowly defeated Spain on Monday in Reims. "I'm sure a lot of people would want it later in the tournament." No question about that. But in a way, it's probably fitting that the match will take place in the iconic capital, which will provide an appropriate stage for a meeting of this magnitude. Because there is every reason to believe that this one will live up to the billing. That is the case even though neither the Americans nor the French were convincing in the round of 16. The former advanced only after a controversial late penalty kick , the planet's top-ranked side failing to generate a single shot on target from the run of play. France, meanwhile, needed extra time to get past Brazil , and might not have moved on at all had defender Griedge Mbock Bathy not raced back to clear what would have been a sure goal away at the last possible moment. However it happened, here we are. The potential for a France-USA encounter in the last eight has been a near-constant talking point since last December's draw. But while many viewed the matchup as inevitable, it's rare when things pan out exactly the way everyone expects in sports. Upsets happen all the time. That's why we watch the games. So as fair as it is to wish that this tilt had been for the right to hoist the trophy, it's hard to complain too much about the timing. Judging by the soaring ticket prices , fans certainly don't seem to care. "This is what everybody wanted," a downright giddy Megan Rapinoe said when asked about the looming spectacle. "This is one of the biggest games that you could dream about as a kid." Whoever emerges at Paris Saint-Germain's famous stadium will surely do so with enough momentum to go on to win it all that is, if they're still in one piece when it's over. For while these are the two most skilled teams in the competition, Friday's match promises to be a war of attrition as much as an all-out attacking bonanza. Les Bleues no doubt noted how Spain was able to frustrate the Americans by kicking lumps out of them whenever the opportunity arose. The unexpected physicality from what was billed as a technical-but-hardly-imposing foe unnerved the champs. France, on the other hand, is perhaps the only opponent that matches up on even terms with the big, strong and fast United States. That athleticism was on full display during a friendly match in Le Havre back in January, when France beat Ellis's squad 3-1 to snap its 28-game unbeaten streak. And while it's true that Ellis didn't use her strongest possible lineup that day, that lopsided result the visitors were held scoreless until stoppage time has to serve as a psychological touchstone for the French. For the U.S., the scare against Spain may have provided a needed reality check. "This was extremely important looking forward now to France," said star forward Alex Morgan, who was fouled repeatedly by La Roja . "It showed a little bit of what we might see [against] France." Morgan revealed that she and her teammates had "of course" watched France's slugfest with Brazil, as they had the hosts' three group stage games. And despite that early-year upset against them, it also gave the Americans a sense of what to expect when it matters most. "We've seen that they've struggled at times," Morgan said of France's performances this month. "We're going to have to look at that and pick apart the weaknesses they've showed." By all accounts, the U.S. is relishing the challenge. "So many times when we play in big games, it's actually when I get more excited," Ellis said. "It means more, it matters more, there's more at stake. And that's why you do this. "What a showcase it is," she added. "Let's go for it."

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Washington's Nationals try for another series win after they split the first two of three with the Kansas City Royals... A night after they went 3 for 12 with runners in scoring position and 19 left on base in a 7-4 loss to the Kansas City Royals , the Washington Nationals went 4 for 10 with RISP and six runs scored on 12 hits in a 6-0 win on Saturday afternoon in the nation's capital. Four of the six runs they scored came in the first two innings, with Juan Soto driving in a run with a single in the first, and Kurt Suzuki homering as part of a three-run second before they added two late while Max Scherzer tossed seven scoreless before handing it to the bullpen. "I think we did a good job of getting people on base yesterday," Trea Turner said after going 2 for 4 with a run scored on Saturday, "... that means we were having good at bats if we had that many people on, it was just a matter of getting a hit at that right time, and early on we got those hits [today] and that gave Max the room to work with, and [that] kind of was the difference in the game I guess." Nats' skipper Davey Martinez said he liked the way the Nationals bounced back after what was just their 11th loss in the last 37 games. Saturday's win wasn't mistake free. Adam Eaton got thrown out at home early, Trea Turner got picked off first and tagged in a rundown in the second ( though a run scored from third when Victor Robles bolted down the line on the play ), and Max Scherzer got a little excited after a hit and stolen base in the fourth, and got tagged out after he was caught off second on a grounder to third. But overall, it was a good response after a loss... and it was the 9th win in the last 11, the 14th in the last 18th, 23rd in the last 33, and 27th in the last 38, which left them 6.0 games out in second place behind the Atlanta Braves in the NL East, and a 0.5 game ahead of the third-place Philadelphia Phillies . "I am very happy [with] the way we've been playing baseball," Martinez said. "I know we made some baserunning mistakes today, but you know what, they're playing aggressive. "For the most part we're actually doing the things that we talked about throughout the year, which is some of the little things, so let's continue to do that, we've got one more game before the break, for me, let's finish up strong, and then we can go and relax and have a couple days off and come back and start the second half off the same."

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Arson is being considered after two Sacramento house fires Saturday morning happened on properties owned by the same person, the Sacramento Fire Department said. The first house fire was on the 2200 block of Capitol Avenue, while the second house is on the 2000 block of I Street. Capt. Keith Wade, spokesperson for the Sacramento Fire Department, said they are the latest in a string of suspicious early morning house fires in Sacramento. Both homes were empty and under renovation at the time, but neighbors said they ran to safety when their own homes were damaged by the roaring flames. "I opened my eyes at 5:17 a.m. and the flames were bouncing off my bedroom window," said Sue Mortensen. "I was like, 'We're on fire!'" Mortensen lives next door to the house that caught fire on Capitol Avenue. When she saw the flames, she woke up her husband, got their dog and ran. "I go to grab the garden hose and the fireman comes up behind me and puts his arm on me and he says, 'It's alright ma'am. We're here. You don't need to do the garden hose,'" she said. Meanwhile, David Carlson was running out of his apartment. He lives behind the house on Capitol Avenue. "Grabbed the wallet, the keys, the cat and just ran out the back door," he said. Carlson said he could feel the heat while escaping. He noted the paint on his back door bubbled up because of the flames. "It doesn't look real. It doesn't seem like it's real," Carlson said. "It seems like something that happens to other people. It doesn't seem like that's something that would happen here." A couple hours after the Capitol Avenue house caught fire, the house on I Street caught on fire. Wade said fire investigators are looking into the possibility of arson. "This is so mean and vicious and cruel," Mortensen said. Mortensen said another neighbor on Capitol Avenue can no longer live in her home because of the damage. "She's never gonna live there again," she said. "(She) heard the noise. And she got up and she saw a guy with a ladder, a ladder, I mean please! Go up into this house and start a fire!" No one was injured in the empty house fires, but neighbors said they felt the impact. "I'm angry because of the damage to all these innocent people," said Mortensen.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>The well-rounded 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe enjoys a high ranking in the large SUV class. It has powerful engines and user-friendly features but so-so handling and a meager cargo area. The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe is ranked: #2 in Large SUVs #8 in SUVs with 3 Rows Is the Chevrolet Tahoe a Good SUV? The Chevy Tahoe is a good large SUV. The two available V8 powertrains deliver ample muscle, solid towing capabilities, and decent fuel economy. The Tahoe is easy to steer in spite of its heft, and though it has a good ride quality, things can feel jittery over bumpy roads. This big Chevy comes up short on cargo and passenger space compared to class rivals, but it comes with a lot of intuitive standard features. Should I Buy the Chevrolet Tahoe? The 2019 Tahoe is a good value with a long list of standard amenities and a starting price that falls in the middle of the class. However, costs quickly rise as you add more options or upgrade to a more powerful engine. There are other large SUVs worth your consideration. The Ford Expedition is excellent through and through, with loads of cargo and passenger space and engaging performance. You might also consider the related GMC Yukon , which is very similar to the Tahoe but has a nicer interior quality. Should I Buy a New or Used Chevrolet Tahoe? The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe is part of a generation that began with the 2015 model year. The only notable change for 2019 is the optional Premier Plus edition, which makes it easier to combine features and the optional powertrain. There were no major differences in feature availability, so you may be better off shopping for a used 2018 Tahoe or an even older model, which would likely save you a lot of money. A 6.2-liter V8 became available in the Tahoe for the 2018 model year, and the 2017 Tahoe gained a standard Teen Driver system. We Did the Research for You: 26 Reviews Analyzed We analyzed 26 Chevrolet Tahoe reviews along with performance specs, fuel economy estimates, and more to help you decide if the 2019 Tahoe is the right new car for you. This 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe review incorporates applicable research for all model years in this generation, which spans the 2015 through 2019 model years. Why You Can Trust Us U.S. News & World Report has been ranking cars, trucks, and SUVs since 2007, and our team has more than 75 years of combined automotive industry experience. To remain objective, we don't accept expensive gifts or trips from car companies, and an outside team manages the advertising on our site. How Much Does the Chevrolet Tahoe Cost? The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe starts at $47,900, which is about average for this class. There are two packages (only available with the base model) that actually knock a few thousand dollars off the Tahoe's price by removing the third row of seats. The midrange LT trim retails for $52,900, and the Premier trim starts at $62,600. All models come standard with rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive is a $3,000 option. The new-for-2019 Premier Plus configuration lumps in a larger 6.2-liter V8 powertrain with a ton of features for a starting price of $74,100. Check out our U.S. News Best Price Program for great deals at your local Chevrolet dealer. You can also find excellent manufacturer incentives on our Chevrolet deals page . Chevrolet Tahoe Versus the Competition Which Is Better: Chevrolet Tahoe or Ford Expedition? The fully redesigned 2018 Ford Expedition is one of the highest-rated vehicles anywhere on our site, and it leads large SUV class . One of the Expedition's few faults is a higher base price than the rest of the segment. Aside from that, this Ford is a home run, and it's better than the Tahoe in almost every way. The Expedition has dynamic performance thanks to a twin-turbocharged V6 engine and relatively agile handling for a big vehicle. It also boasts a comfortable ride quality, great fuel economy for the class, and a higher towing capacity than nearly all rivals. The Expedition offers an upscale interior quality with lots of premium materials. However, an infotainment system doesn't come standard, which is surprising given the redesign and its high price tag. There are three rows of roomy seats and more cargo space than the Tahoe. The long-wheelbase Expedition Max increases passenger and cargo room even more. Which Is Better: Chevrolet Tahoe or GMC Yukon? The GMC Yukon is another large SUV under the General Motors umbrella and is very similar to the Tahoe. Both of these SUVs have the same powertrain choices, towing capacity, list of features, and cargo volumes. The Yukon is a little more upscale inside than the Tahoe, and its Denali edition is especially dapper. You can get the Denali in a long-wheelbase version, the Denali XL, which is very comparable to the Chevrolet Suburban . The Yukon's below-average predicted reliability rating lands it near the bottom of the class rankings. However, the similarities between the Yukon and the Tahoe mean that the decision may come down to your personal preference or budget. Tahoe Interior How Many People Does the Tahoe Seat? The 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe can seat between five and nine people. The standard configuration is for eight, with two front seats and second- and third-row benches. You can get a first-row bench seat only with the base model, and you can also get rid of the third row entirely in the base model to save a couple thousand dollars. The wide, flat, and cushy front seats are ideal companions for long drives. The second row is equally enjoyable whether you stick with the bench seats or opt for two bucket seats. The cabin feels open and airy around the first two rows, but the rearmost accommodations are a different story. You're better off leaving that to children or smaller adults because there's not a ton of legroom, and it can be hard to access. Tahoe and Car Seats There are up to three complete sets of LATCH car-seat connections in the Tahoe's second row, and each third-row seat only has a top tether anchor. The lower anchors are easy to locate and access, but you might have some trouble moving your hands around to attach the straps. More problems surround the tether anchors. For the second row, they're hard to find since they sit on the back of the seats near the base. The third-row tethers are under a fabric flap, so they also may be difficult to locate on the first few tries. Tahoe Interior Quality The Tahoe's cabin is kind of a mixed bag when it comes to design and quality. Most materials are elegant and impressive, but there are still a few hard plastics. For an SUV that easily tops $50,000, that can be disappointing. If you're willing to overlook that or spring for a higher model with features like leather seats, you'll likely be satisfied by the Tahoe. Tahoe Cargo Space Cargo room is a downside to the Tahoe. The 15.3 cubic feet of space behind the third-row seats is about the size of a trunk in some midsize sedans . The third row folds down to create a flat floor and opens up 51.7 cubic feet of space. However, to make sure the cargo floor is flat and level, Chevy had to make the load-in height pretty high. That means you might have some trouble lifting heavy or bulky items in. You'll get 94.7 cubic feet of space with both rear rows folded down. That's a lot of space, but it's still below average for the class. Tahoe Infotainment, Bluetooth, and Navigation The 2019 Tahoe boasts a long list of standard features, including the centerpiece 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay compatibility, along with a built-in Wi-Fi hot spot. Chevy's MyLink interface is one of the most straightforward systems on the market, thanks to its quick response times and simple menus. There are plenty of large physical buttons on the center stack to quickly turn up the volume or adjust the temperature. The Tahoe also has up to seven USB ports to keep your whole crew charged. Other standard features include tri-zone automatic climate control, satellite radio, HD Radio, and a 110-volt power outlet. Optional amenities include a rear-seat DVD player, wireless charging, navigation, and one of two Bose premium stereos. Tahoe Performance Tahoe Engine: Bigger is Better The 2019 Chevy Tahoe's standard powertrain is a 5.3-liter V8 engine mated to a six-speed automatic transmission, which puts out 355 horsepower. It can move this big SUV with little trouble, though you may have to jam on the gas pretty hard when you need a lot of power for merging onto the highway or passing other cars. The six-speed automatic delivers smooth and timely shifts. For more satisfying muscle, look to the Tahoe's optional 6.2-liter V8 that produces 420 horsepower. It's mated to a 10-speed automatic, and it provides thrilling acceleration every time you hit the throttle. However, this larger V8 is only available in select trims, at roughly $20,000 more than the Tahoe's base price. For many buyers, it probably won't be worth spending that much. Tahoe Gas Mileage: Right in the Middle The 2019 Tahoe gets up to 15 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway, which is about average for a large SUV . The 6.2-liter V8 engine returns estimates of 14 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. With four-wheel drive, both engines lose one mpg highway. The 2018 Ford Expedition is marginally better than the rest of the class, at up to 17 mpg city and 24 mpg highway. Tahoe Ride and Handling: Light on its Feet The Chevy Tahoe is a big vehicle, but it drives with grace thanks to light and precise steering. It's easy to maneuver through parking lots and get it exactly where you want it to go. The downside is that there's little steering feedback from the road. At high speeds, the Tahoe's cabin stays quiet and serene, shielded from most outside noise. Ride quality is decent overall, though the body-on-frame construction means that you'll still feel some bumps in the road or broken pavement. Rear-wheel drive is standard, and four-wheel drive is optional. A relatively low ground clearance prevents the Tahoe from doing any serious off-roading, even with 4WD. Tahoe Towing A properly equipped Tahoe can tow up to 8,600 pounds. That's enough for most applications like larger trailers or boats, and it's right in line with what many other large SUVs can handle. The Ford Expedition leads this segment with its 9,300-pound capacity. The Tahoe comes standard with a trailering hitch platform, a 2-inch receiver, and trailer sway control. Optional trailering equipment includes a different rear axle ratio, trailer brake controls, a two-speed active transfer case, and an air-leveling suspension. Tahoe Reliability Is the Chevrolet Tahoe Reliable? As of this writing, the 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe doesn't have a predicted reliability rating. The very-similar 2018 Tahoe has a score of four out of five from J.D. Power, which is better than many new cars. Chevrolet Tahoe Warranty Chevrolet covers the Tahoe with a three-year/36,000-mile basic warranty and a five-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Tahoe Safety Tahoe Crash Test Results The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gave the 2019 Chevy Tahoe an overall crash-test rating of four out of five stars. The Tahoe earned five stars in the frontal and side crash tests, and three stars in the rollover test. Tahoe Safety Features All Tahoes come standard with a rearview camera and rear parking sensors. Chevy also includes its Teen Driver system, which allows you to set limits on speed and audio volume, as well as monitor the driving of other people that may use your car. Optional advanced safety features include front parking sensors, a head-up display, automatic high beams, adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, blind spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert, forward collision warning, and automatic emergency braking. An available safety alert seat vibrates to warn you of an impending collision. Which Chevrolet Tahoe Model Is Right for Me? Chevrolet offers the 2019 Tahoe in LS, LT, and Premier trim levels. All models come standard with a 5.3-liter V8 engine, a six-speed automatic transmission, and rear-wheel drive. Four-wheel drive is optional in every trim for $3,000. A 6.2-liter V8 and a 10-speed automatic transmission are optional with the Premier model. The base model's long list of standard features makes it a good choice for those who want a lot of value right out of the box. You'll still have access to a full suite of driver assistance features for under $700. However, the roughly $53,000 midrange LT model might be a better choice. It comes with leather upholstery, heated front seats, and Bose stereo. It also features advanced safety tech like lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward collision warning, and low-speed automatic emergency braking. Chevrolet Tahoe LS The base 2019 Chevrolet Tahoe LS starts at $47,900. Standard features include cloth upholstery, a 10-way power-adjustable front seat, a six-way power-adjustable passenger seat, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, tri-zone automatic climate control, a rearview camera, rear parking sensors, the Teen Driver system, remote start, a 110-volt power outlet, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. There's also a standard 8-inch touch-screen infotainment system with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay, a Wi-Fi hot spot, a six-speaker stereo, USB ports, Bluetooth, satellite radio, and HD Radio. The optional Enhanced Driver Alert package costs $695 and includes power-adjustable pedals, automatic high beams, a safety alert seat, lane departure warning, lane keep assist, forward-collision warning, and low-speed automatic emergency braking. You can also opt for the Custom Edition package, which deletes the third-row seats and lowers the Tahoe's price by $4,200. Individual options include performance brakes for $2,795, a front-row bench seat for $250, and a rear-seat DVD entertainment system that costs $1,995. Chevrolet Tahoe LT The Tahoe LT starts at $52,900. It adds leather upholstery, a power liftgate, heated front seats, a nine-speaker Bose premium sound system, and all the contents of the Enhanced Driver Alert package above. For $2,860, the Luxury package comes with proximity key entry, push-button start, heated second-row seats, a power-folding third row, a heated steering wheel, a hands-free liftgate, front parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert. Another package costs $3,430 and includes navigation, satellite traffic, a sunroof, and a rear-seat DVD system. Second-row bucket seats are optional for $795. Chevrolet Tahoe Premier The 2019 Tahoe Premier retails for $62,600. This trim comes with the Magnetic Ride Control suspension, 12-way power-adjustable heated and ventilated front seats, a power-folding third row, power-release and folding heated second-row bucket seats, a heated steering wheel, proximity key entry, push-button start, navigation, satellite traffic, a 10-speaker Bose surround-sound system, wireless charging, front parking sensors, blind spot monitoring, and rear cross traffic alert. Getting the Tahoe with the 6.2-liter V8 ups its starting MSRP to $67,950, and that price includes styling upgrades like larger black wheels and black exterior trim pieces. You can also jump to the Premier Plus Edition from the standard Premier, adding $11,600. This model includes the 6.2-liter V8, along with an 8-inch color driver information display, a sunroof, a head-up display, the rear-seat DVD player, power-retractable assist steps, and lots of other styling details.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Rome -- The tiny, 1,200-year-old Teutonic Cemetery is the only graveyard inside the walls of Vatican City. The cemetery just behind St. Peter's Basilica is the final resting place of royals, cardinals, artists -- and, just maybe, a teenage girl who disappeared 36 years ago without a trace. The Vatican will open two 19th century graves in the cemetery on Thursday morning to let forensic experts look for the remains of Emanuela Orlandi. She was the 15 year-old-daughter of a Vatican bank employee whose family lived inside Vatican City. Orlandi was last seen at a bus stop in central Rome after leaving a flute lesson on June 22, 1983. The mystery of her disappearance has gripped Italy ever since. One of the tombs to be opened, known as the "Tomb of the Angel" contains the remains of Princess Sophie von Hohenlohe, who died in 1836. The other is the resting place of Princess Carlotta Federica of Mecklenburg, who died in 1840. Members of their families, Orlandi's, and forensics scientists and Vatican police will all be present when the tombs are unsealed. Orlandi's mother still lives in Vatican City, close to the Teutonic Cemetery. After searching for Emanuela incessantly for three decades, "the family won't be happy if they find Emanuela's corpse just 200 yards from their home," Orlandi family lawyer Laura Sgro told CBS News. Giovanni Arcudi, a forensics expert and professor at Rome's Tor Vergata University, will lead the team tasked with exhuming the skeletons and then, bone by bone, examining them to assess the years of death, age, sex and stature -- all to verify who they belong to. Arcudi's team will also take samples for DNA testing, which will take place later. In a statement issued by the Vatican, Arcudi said it could take five hours to open the two tombs and remove the remains, barring unforeseen circumstances. "The state of conservation of the bones is what will determine how much time is needed," he said. "Obviously that is not predictable before the tombs are opened." But he said he'd know fairly quickly whether the tombs contained the bones of anyone other than the two German princesses. "We can distinguish whether a bone is 10 years old or if it's been there 50 years, or 150 years," he said. "After this first initial examination, we may even be able to exclude the hypothesis that the skeletal remains belong to people other than the two who were buried there." But he said the DNA tests would be carried out regardless of what the skeletal examinations revealed, in order to definitively exclude the presence of Orlandi's remains. The DNA results could take up to several months to come back. Orlandi's family has been chasing clues on her disappearance for decades, and conspiracy theories abound. Because the family lived inside the Vatican walls, many of the rumors involve the Vatican itself: that she was murdered in connection to the Vatican bank scandals of the 1980s; that she was kidnapped to barter for the freedom of a man who attempted to kill Pope John Paul II; that she was kidnapped as part of a sex slavery ring inside the Vatican. So far there has been no solid evidence in the case at all. Thursday won't be the first time a grave is opened to search for the teenager's remains. After persistent rumors that her body was concealed in the grave of a Roman mobster, police opened his tomb in 2012. They found nothing that didn't belong there. Last summer, the family received yet another anonymous tip. "I received a letter with a picture in it," Sgro, the family's attorney, told CBS News. "The letter said: 'If you want to find Emanuela, search where the angel is looking.'" The photo was of a marble statue of an angel that looks down on the German princesses' tombs in the Teutonic Cemetery. Sgro said the family went to the Teutonic Cemetery and quickly found the "Tomb of the Angel," and they noticed something that seemed to be amiss. "The tomb had obviously been recently opened, there was new cement on it, but we didn't know why or when, we were given no information," Sgro told CBS News. In February, they petitioned the Vatican Secretary of State to permit the tombs to be opened. Last week a Vatican tribunal granted the request.[/INST]Vatican to open 2 graves in hunt for missing girl after cryptic clue</s> |

Angeloglou is taking on a new role with LVMH's Louis Vuitton , leading strategic missions in fashion and leather. The move comes as L'Oreal wrestles with sluggish growth in its consumer products division, whose drugstore brands have underperformed the units selling high-end perfumes and premium skin care. L'Oreal Paris, which makes products such as True Match foundation and Revitalift wrinkle creams, is the cosmetics giant's founding division. Viguier-Hovasse will report to Alexis Perakis-Valat, president of L'Oreal's consumer products division, the company said in a statement. Even as lagging U.S. consumption and a rising interest in niche competitors dragged down growth for mass-market brands, L'Oreal Paris grew faster than the market last year and kept its crown as the world's biggest beauty brand, L'Oreal Chief Executive Officer Jean-Paul Agon said in a presentation to investors in February. "It's a tougher battlefield," Agon said of the U.S., where L'Oreal Paris has dominated drugstore shelves for years.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>Already going through a mortifying stretch, the Detroit Tigers now have to deal with the resurgent Washington Nationals this weekend. The Tigers have lost seven straight and 11 of 12 after getting swept in back-to-back series with Cleveland and Texas. They've lost 20 of their last 22 at Comerica Park, including the first three of a six-game homestand. "I've never been through this one, myself, so I'm learning myself on how to deal with some of these things," manager Ron Gardenhire said. Detroit's offense has generated just eight runs in the last five games. Gardenhire can only hope it perks up soon. "One good swing can change a whole personality," he said. "That's the greatest thing about the game. You can be in the biggest hole in the world, but one good swing and all of a sudden you can turn it around. That's what we're all looking for." Left-hander Daniel Norris will start the series opener on Friday for the Tigers. Norris (2-6, 4.69 ERA) is coming off his longest outing since Aug. 2, 2015. He lasted seven innings at Cleveland on Sunday, giving up six runs on eight hits and striking out a season-high eight in an 8-3 loss. He'll oppose the Nationals for the first time in his career. Anibal Sanchez (3-6, 4.02) will be facing his former team for the first time, after parting ways with the team after the 2017 season. Sanchez, 35, posted a 46-49 record with a 4.43 ERA for Detroit from 2012-17. He's 3-0 in his last five starts after losing his first six decisions with the Nationals this season. Sanchez has a 2.45 ERA during those five outings and has lasted at least six innings in four of them. Sanchez made 79 appearances (68 starts) at Comerica Park as a Tiger and went 27-23 with a 4.13 ERA. The Nationals have been on the upswing recently, winning eight of their last 10 games. They completed a three-game sweep of Miami on Thursday. "I think we're doing everything right, showing up to the ballpark ready to work," said first baseman Matt Adams, who homered as part of a five-run sixth inning in Thursday's 8-5 win. "We're not looking too far ahead. Guys are working hard and having fun playing the game." Adams, Howie Kendrick and Gerardo Parra have taken turns filling in at first base with Ryan Zimmerman sidelined by a foot injury. Zimmerman is on a rehab stint with Double-A Harrisburg and could return next week. Adams, Kendrick and Parra have combined for 28 home runs. "He's been awesome. He really has," manager Dave Martinez said of Adams. "Between him, Howie and even Parra, with the three playing first base, they've all been really good and they've accepted their roles. They all get the chance to play, and when they get the chance to play, they do well." The Tigers and Nationals are unfamiliar foes. They last met in 2016 when Washington took two out of three at Nationals Park. Detroit leads the all-time series 11-8, including a 7-1 mark at Comerica Park. The Tigers are 4-11 in interleague play this season, while the Nats are 3-1. --Field Level Media[/INST]Skidding Tigers host surging Nationals next</s> |
<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Phillips 66 (PSX). Shares have lost about 9.9% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500. Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Phillips 66 due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at the most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers. Phillips 66 Beats Q1 Earnings Estimates, Misses Revenues Phillips 66 posted first-quarter 2019 adjusted earnings per share of 40 cents, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 34 cents, courtesy of contributions from pipeline transportation businesses. The bottom line, however, fell from the year-ago $1.04 per share, owing to a significant decline in crude utilization rate. Quarterly revenues totaled $23.7 billion, down from the year-ago quarter's $24.1 billion. The top line also missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $24.7 billion. Segment Results Midstream The segment generated adjusted quarterly earnings of $316 million, up from $280 million in the year-ago quarter on increased contributions from pipeline transportation businesses. Chemicals The segment reported adjusted earnings of $227 million, down from $286 million in the year-ago quarter owing to lower margins. Refining The segment's adjusted loss was $219 million against the year-ago quarter's earnings of $110 million. The underperformance can be attributed to unplanned downtime, maintenance work and a substantial decline in crude utilization rate. During the quarter, Phillips 66's refining utilization was 84%. Marketing and Specialties (M&S) This segment's earnings deteriorated from $222 million in the year-ago quarter to $205 million. Financial Condition In the reported quarter, Phillips 66 used in $478 million of cash from operations. Through dividend payments along with share repurchases, the company returned capital worth $708 million to stockholders. As of Mar 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were $1,253 million along with debt of $11.3 billion. The company's debt-to-capitalization ratio was 30%. How Have Estimates Been Moving Since Then? It turns out, fresh estimates flatlined during the past month. VGM Scores At this time, Phillips 66 has a subpar Growth Score of D, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with an F. However, the stock was allocated a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the top 40% for this investment strategy. Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of C. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in. Outlook Phillips 66 has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). We expect an in-line return from the stock in the next few months.[/INST]Phillips 66 (PSX) Down 9.9% Since Last Earnings Report: Can It Rebound?</s> |

Following lab tests conducted by the Bureau of Forensic Sciences of Puerto Rico, it was determined that the meteorologist's cause of death was due to MDMA poisoning. TMZ added that lab reports also showed traces of ketamine in his system. The findings come five months after the former reality star died at the age of 38 while aboard a Royal Caribbean cruise ship on January 23. Another passenger aboard the cruise told TMZ at the time that Taylor passed out while on the dance floor the night before his death and was carried back to his room by two people. The cruise ship spoke out in a statement to Us Weekly following his death. "We extend our most sincere and heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the 38-year-old male guest from the United States who died while onboard Harmony of the Seas," they told Us at the time. The statement continued: "As is our standard procedure, law enforcement was notified and responded to the ship when it arrived in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on Tuesday, January 23. A member of our Care Team is providing support and assistance to his family." The news was first revealed in a tweet from fellow Storm Chasers costar Reed Timmer. "RIP my best friend and storm chasing partner, Joel Taylor," he wrote alongside two pictures of the pals. "I am shocked and absolutely devastated by the loss of my incredible, caring friend. We chased so many intense storms, and I wish we could have just one more storm chase. I'll miss you forever, Joel. We lost a legend." Three days after his death, his body was released . He was laid to rest the following week in his hometown following a funeral service at the First Baptist Church of Elk City, Oklahoma.

Niecy Nash stars on the TNT drama as nail salon owner turned crime boss Desna Simms on this Florida-set drama that has come so far since being about a group of women laundering money out of a nail salon. Season 2 ended with Desna throwing her new Mob boss husband, Dr. Ruval (Jimmy Jean-Louis), off a balcony during a scuffle and inheriting a casino, and Virginia (Karrueche Tran) getting shot. From the official trailer above and photo below, it's clear Virgina survives though, perhaps minus one eye. Here, Nash reveals to EW all (that she can) about the new season, which premieres June 9 at 9 p.m. ET on TNT. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: So where do things stand as season 3 begins? NIECY NASH: The relationships with the women are really being tested, in part because Desna now has this casino. So with more money, more power you know it, more problems. And you actually get to go a little more in-depth behind Roller [Jack Kesy] and Desna's relationship. That should be fun, because a lot of people were rooting for them as a couple. And then you have some people who wanted her with Dr. Ruval. But, you know, after I pushed him off the side of the building, that's not gonna happen. Any fun new characters? The shareholders in the casino give us a run for our money. They are unlike the Haitians and unlike the Dixie Mafia in that not only are they menacing, but they're very weird and creepy, so definitely not something this particular crew has been used to. Will the casino revenue mean we'll be seeing even more lavish nails and fashion for Desna? Are you kidding me? It is more turned up than ever. And I feel like we've all upgraded because we've all had a taste of, quote unquote, this life. And, yeah, we're all just trying to enjoy it and maintain it. Oh, and I can tease you something else: I can't tell you who, but somebody is pregnant.

<s>[INST] <<SYS>>You are an editor responsible for designing headlines for news body.<</SYS>>The Redskins have generally been disregarded in the media as a team capable of turning heads in 2019. Well, is it true? Are the Redskins being fairly evaluated? If you were paying attention to Redskins twitter over the past couple of days, then you saw a fanbase that was sent into a frenzy after another perceived disrespectful take on the Washington Redskins. The latest, NFL Network's Adam Rank, who predicted a 2-14 record for the Redskins in 2019. Don't make any mistake; the heat sent Rank's way was warranted for the lazy analysis and prediction. However, it prompts a more meaningful conversation here; that is, to address a common theme in the National Media's perspective of Washington. The question for Washington fans: Is the Redskins roster being undervalued nationally, and is it closer to 11 wins? Alternatively, are the Skins being overvalued by Washington fans, and are they closer to four wins? Which one is true, and which one is false? Well, what makes outsiders say the Redskins won't be good this year? The quarterback position is an unknown. The most critical position on the team has at least one too many question marks. Is a quarterback competition between Case Keenum and Dwayne Haskins Jr. a competition between two proven and respectable commodities? No. Case Keenum is the ultimate journeyman, who is a serviceable quarterback, but far too inconsistent as a full-time starter. Dwayne Haskins has not played a single snap yet as a pro, and has not proven he can play at this level "yet." Essentially, this is a hard position to evaluate, and also happens to be the most important position on an NFL team. The offensive line and the wide receivers are not impressive position groups. With Trent Williams an unknown as it currently stands, and Ereck Flowers is one of the worst offensive linemen in the NFL but apparently slated to start for the Redskins, there is hardly anything left to say about the situation. Though Flowers will likely play guard if he ends up starting, he would still be starting, and that is bad! The Redskins aren't aiming to put Flowers at the tackle position, which forces them to find alternative options outside of Ereck and Trent if TW does not come back in time. Can the offensive line hold up? This position group has been consistently and significantly injured over the past couple of seasons. Though I personally believe the wide receivers are underrated, they are certainly unknown commodities. Who is the clear number one? Who is even a clear number two? Well, we got a clear number three, right? Maybe Josh Doctson or Paul Richardson. This is what analysts see when they look at the Redskins nothing impresses them. These are the primary factors behind the Redskins being overvalued by the fanbase. What would make the Redskins an underrated team to fans? The Redskins defense continues its makeover for the third-straight off-season. The Redskins defense has made a dramatic transformation from what they used to be under Jay Gruden and former head coach Mike Shanahan. The Redskins failed to address key positions on the defense for a long time, and it burned them in the long run. The front office had a pattern of signing defensive lineman and safeties at bargain prices in hopes of these players outperforming the deals they signed. However, the issue behind that is these players were overvalued to begin with as their production was not good enough to make a difference defensively. With that being said, there ha been significant investments in the front seven through the draft and in the secondary through free agency. This seems to force a situation where the Redskins defense is in a position where it must compensate for an offense that may average around 17 points per game. I believe the defense can do it. The Redskins receiving core is underrated. As mentioned previously, the Redskins receiving core is underrated by a lot of people. Receivers Cam Sims and Trey Quinn are healthy again and are capable of producing at a quality level in the NFL with "capable" meaning at least 1,400-1,500 receiving yards between the two receivers. Sims is a playmaker with the ball in his hands and also is aggressive enough to compete for a pass in traffic. If Kevin O'Connell can get supplemental production from rookies Kelvin Harmon and Terry McLaurin, the Redskins will have a receiving core that will drastically change the outlook of the position group for the immediate future. Though Josh Doctson and Paul Richardson are veterans on the team, they still must show what their value is to the team. The running backs may be one of the better groups in the NFL. The running backs in Washington, specifically Chris Thompson and Adrian Peterson , are elite in their respective roles. Adding Derrius Guice gives the three backs the potential to reach top three all-purpose yard production from that position group in the NFL. Of course, this may be dependent upon the offensive line. However, the Redskins running backs are in a great situation as we head into the regular season, and may very well be the highlight of the offense. So, which side is more realistic? The Redskins roster is more undervalued than it is overvalued; Washington's roster is not that of a four-win team. Am I saying the Redskins will win 11 games? No, not at all. However, they are far from a four-win team, let alone one that will achieve only two wins. Jay Gruden, as every head coach does, continues to learn the ropes of being a successful NFL head coach. Though he hopefully will not have to deal with another season of the injury bug biting the team, he must continue to show his growth as a coach, and his players must continue to develop and produce on this team. I believe he and his players will do just that. Let us know what you think![/INST]True or False? The Redskins roster is closer to an 4-win team than an 11-win one.</s> |
