Summarize the following: The best thing you can do when returning to exercise after being sick is to talk to your doctor about it. Depending on your illness there are probably specific things to work on and avoid. Know the effects of any medications you’re taking – like if you’re more likely to become dehydrated while exercising. Your doctor may refer you to a Physical Therapist or Occupational Therapist for professional help getting moving, depending on your needs. Say something to your doctor like, “Now that I’m feeling better I want to start a fitness regime. Can you help me make a safe plan?” Call your doctor immediately if you experience any of the following during exercise: chest pain or tightness, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, nausea or vomiting, irregular heartbeat, numbness in your arms, lightheadedness, faintness, you pass out, or start to sweat profusely (more than would be expected for your activity level). No matter how fit you were before your illness, being sick for a while takes a toll on your body. Your muscles are weaker than before and your stamina and endurance will be lower. This is normal! Acknowledge that you’re basically starting over, like it’s your first time exercising. Prepare yourself mentally to start slow, increase your activity gradually, and be patient. Remember that you can and will get fit, it just takes time. If you start lifting heavy weights right away, there’s a chance that your weakened muscles will get a tear, sprain, or strain. You have to rebuild your cardiovascular fitness, i.e. endurance. It’s likely your heart rate will elevate more easily now that you’ve been inactive for a while. Your immune system has been fighting hard to overcome your illness, so if you overwork your body you’ll probably feel unwell the next day. Take it easy to avoid getting symptoms again. What do you want to be able to do again – run a marathon, go back to aerobics class, play a sport? If you make goals and write them down, you're more likely to achieve them. Keep a workout journal to help you stay motivated. Write down your main goal, and then smaller goals for one week, two weeks, and one month. For instance, if your main goal is, “Run a marathon in a year,” don’t expect to start running 10 miles this week. Increase your goals gradually, starting with something like “Week 1: Walk for 30 minutes a day” and working up to “6 months: Run 10 miles 2-3 times per week.” Start as big or as small as is safe and comfortable for you. Be realistic and specific in your goals. “Walk 30 minutes a day” is more specific and motivating than “do some walking.” Write down your accomplishments to see how far you’ve come. Getting acclimated to your fitness routine after an illness can be challenging. Try working out with a friend or family member to help you stay motivated and safe. Some hospitals, clinics, and health clubs sponsor exercise programs for patients with specific conditions – ask your doctor about availability and consider joining up so you have support.

Consult your doctor. Acknowledge that you’re starting over. Plan ahead and make goals. Stay motivated by working with a group.

By. Lucy Buckland. Last updated at 12:06 AM on 17th January 2012. A ‘mild-mannered’ homeowner may have snapped and killed a ‘neighbour from hell’ before suffering a fatal heart attack. Alan Taylor, 59, was pronounced dead at his home on Sunday by paramedics after he suffered a cardiac arrest. Police were called and found the body of Richard Wight, 55, which had ‘physical injuries’, in his house next door. Essex Police were last night understood to be looking into the possibility that Mr Taylor attacked his neighbour before collapsing and dying. Discovery: Police have sealed off the scene in Braintree, Essex, after two bodies were found in neighbouring homes. He is thought to have endured years of harassment from Mr Wight. The lorry driver had a long history of terrorising neighbours in his street in Braintree, Essex. In 2008 he was jailed for eight weeks after going to Mr Taylor’s home twice on the same day and harassing him. He also spent seven months in custody. in 2002 while awaiting a court hearing for threatening another man in. the street with an axe. Officers found cannabis at his house when they arrested him. Ambulance workers confirmed they were. called yesterday to a report of a man suffering from a cardiac arrest. but when they arrived he was already dead. It was only then that paramedics were alerted to another body in the neighbouring property, believed to be Mr Wight. A spokesman for the East of England Ambulance Service, said: 'We were called at 4.48pm to an address in Eagle Lane, following reports a man was in cardiac arrest. 'One rapid response car and two managers were sent to the scene. The man was declared deceased at the scene and whilst there, we were made aware of another person who was also declared deceased at the scene.' 'Suspicious deaths': Neighbours said Alan Taylor, whose home is the light green property with a red Rover 25 parked in the driveway, would row with Richard White, who owned the adjoining brown cottage, over parking in the narrow lane. Today neighbours said Mr Wight would. ‘worry’ about leaving his van in the lane and often shouted at takeaway. drivers who blocked up the road. One neighbour, who didn’t want to be. named, said: ‘Something had been going on between the pair of them - we. said it looked like that had been rowing, it was as though they were at. war over something. ‘There was definitely tension there when I saw them.’ One former resident of the lane said:. ‘Richard did not have any family and I believe there was only one person. who used to come and visit him. ‘He was something of a loner and when. we lived there he would come out and shout at delivery drivers when they. dropped takeaways off. ‘Somebody bumped into his van once. down the lane and he put a big note in his window, stating the date and. time that the accident happened which me and my partner thought was. quite odd at the time. Evidence: The van thought to belong to Richard Wight being removed from the scene today. Driven away: A forensics officer removes the red Rover from the driveway of one of the deceased men for it to be examined. Emergency: Paramedics were called to the scene, but the man they attended to was already dead. Narrow: Police stand guard at Maple Lane's only entrance in Braintree, Essex. ‘He was always worrying about his van which was parked in the lane.’ An Essex Police spokesman said: ‘The deaths are being treated as suspicious and both scenes are being forensically examined. ‘The enquiry is focusing on the movements of the men or activity in Eagle Lane since January 1  2012. ‘Detectives from the Kent and Essex. Serious Crime Directorate are investigating these deaths thoroughly and. will be in a position to give more information when they have. established exactly what has happened at these two addresses.’ An East. of England Ambulance Service spokeswoman said: ‘We were called at 4.50pm. and sent two rapid response vehicles and two managers to the scene. ‘When we arrived we discovered one patient deceased although at that stage it was not known that there was another person. ‘Another body was found in a neighbouring property as we were leaving.’ Ambulance personnel stayed at the scene for more than two hours assisting police with their investigations.

For those not in the know, the Asterix books are a hugely successful series of comic books about a village of indomitable Gauls who resist Caesar's invasion thanks to a magic potion that renders them invulnerable supermen. There have been several animated features (only one of them, The Twelve Tasks of Asterix really capturing the wit and spirit of the books despite being an original screen story) before a perfectly cast Christian Clavier and Gerard Depardieu took the lead roles in two live action adaptations that proved colossally successful throughout Europe but made no impression whatsoever in the English-speaking world. The uncut French version is great fun, but sadly does not appear to be available in a version with English subtitles outside of the UK DVD. While there's still no sign of a US theatrical or DVD release, the Miramax version of Asterix et Obelix: Mission Cleopatre is also on that DVD (and has played on UK TV), and you'll never guess what - it's been completely re-edited (at least 21 minutes gone) and dubbed into English. Maybe Harve mistook it for a Hong Kong movie - after all, he never saw a foreign film he didn't think couldn't be improved by heavy re-editing and shelving for a few years. Whereas Asterix et Obelix Contre Cesar was lovingly dubbed into English from a particularly good translation script by Terry Jones but otherwise left unaltered, that sort of thing really isn't the Miramax way. The results ain't good. The film was the best attempt to get the books mixture of slapstick, anachronisms and highbrow classical humorous asides to the screen, but a lot of the classical references are gone (such as the great Raft of the Medusa sight gag or the Cyrano de Bergerac references from Depardieu), alongside anything that seems too French or might slow the picture down, with the result that the first 20 minutes are now a real slog. Several punchlines to sequences are missing, Depardieu's part has been trimmed (his part was already fairly small because of his serious health problems during the shoot: the US version has been partially digitally regraded to change the unhealthy pallor of his face in the original!), and as usual with dubbing, because literal translations into English don't fit properly, lines are either rushed so much they're not funny anymore or the dialogue has been changed completely (a couple of these changes are admittedly funny, like one character dreaming of a world in which he could move his lips in French and hear the words in English). Not a total disaster, but very disappointing considering how good the full-length version is. It would be nice to think that Miramax would do a Shaolin Soccer and release both versions, but since they've shelved both films for two years since paying $45m for them (another classic case of Harvey's notorious chronic buyer's remorse: gee, wonder why Disney were so p****d at their overspending) and still have no release plans, that may just be too much wishful thinking. It's a real pity that such an accessible and entertaining film will now only be available to non-French speakers in such a clumsily bowdlerised version. It seems the plucky Gauls may have been able to defeat Caesar's legions but are no match for the Miramax jackboot. Did this review think positively or negatively of the movie?

Giacomo Costa (14 December 1919 - 22 January 2000) was an Italian Australian professional wrestler best known by his ring name, Al Costello. Costello was the first professional wrestler to be nicknamed "The Man of a Thousand Holds" because of his innovative and very technical style. Costello was the creator and original member of the tag team The Fabulous Kangaroos, whose "Ultra Australian" gimmick complete with boomerangs, bush hats and the song "Waltzing Matilda" as their entrance music, existed in various forms from 1957 until 1983. Costello was either an active wrestler, or a manager in all versions of The Fabulous Kangaroos. Heffernan returned to Australia and began working for World Championship Wrestling (the Australian version, not the North American wrestling federation) under booker Jim Barnett as a singles wrestler. Costello was originally supposed to return to Australia as well and work for WCW, but those plans never came through. Instead, Costello remained in the United States and kept working in the tag team division, never seeking a career as a singles wrestler. Costello began wrestling for Georgia Championship Wrestling, where he teamed up with Louis Tillet to form a tag team known as "The Globetrotters"; a name that played off Costello's Australian and Tillet's French heritage. The Globetrotters defeated the Mysterious Medics in the finals of the Georgia NWA World Tag Team Championship but only held the titles for a week before losing them to Kurt and Karl Von Brauner on 4 February 1966. After this, the Globetrotters broke up due to differences in their approach to tag teaming. Costello then moved to the NWA Mid-America territory near Nashville, Tennessee. In Mid-American, Costello teamed with Herb Welch to win the Mid-American version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship, which they held for just over 2 months. While still working in Mid-America, Costello began to team with Karl Von Brauner, who used a "German Nazi" gimmick despite being American. Under the management of "Playboy" Gary Hart, Costello and Von Brauner were billed as "The Internationals"; the team was later managed by George "Crybaby" Cannon. The Internationals worked mainly in Tennessee and Texas for NWA Western States. In Texas, Costello and Von Brauner won the Texas version of the NWA World Tag Team Championship, a title Costello and Heffernan had held in 1958. The team was also billed as the first NWA American Tag Team Champions, titles that were also recognized by World Class Championship Wrestling in addition to the Western States promotion. The Internationals lost the American Tag Team title to Fritz and Waldo Von Erich on 21 February 1967. Kurt then decided to go back to teaming with his storyline brother, Karl Von Brauner. After the Internationals broke up, Costello returned to Australia to visit friends and relatives and to recuperate after many years on the road. On his way back to the United States, Costello had a stop over in Detroit, Michigan, where he met Cleo Williams. The two fell in love and married shortly afterwards, remaining together for the rest of Costello's life. CANNOTANSWER Using a quote from the above article, answer the following question: Did they come back from the lose?

After this, the Globetrotters broke up due to differences in their approach to tag teaming.

Summarize this article in one sentence. Once the police officer in charge of your case obtains all of the information needed to file a report, you will be issued a copy of the assault report. Keep this report in a safe place. After the police file an assault report, that report will then be sent to the prosecutor’s office. The prosecutor will, at that point, look at the report and determine if there is sufficient evidence to prosecute the assailant. If there is sufficient evidence to prosecute, a judge will issue an arrest warrant for the assailant. You must wait for further communication during this time. It may be the case that after the assailant has been arrested, the police may wish to investigate the crime further to obtain additional evidence. You may be contacted by the police for further questioning. Cooperate with the police and try to provide as much further information to the police as possible.

Collect a copy of the assault report. Wait for further information about your case. Provide additional evidence.

Read this article and answer this question This would be the first meeting between quarterbacks Russell Wilson and Andrew Luck, who were both selected in the 2012 NFL Draft. Though Wilson and the Seahawks maintained a lead throughout the first three quarters, Luck led the Colts back, taking the lead and never letting go in the 4th. It would be the first loss for the Seahawks in the season, dropping their record to 4-1. The Colts punted and the Seahawks drove down the field and scored a field goal to go up 3-0. After another Indy three-and-out, Russell Wilson threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Golden Tate to take a 10-0 lead. Then another Indy punt was blocked and bounced out of the endzone to extend the lead to 12-0. Seattle punted to Indy when Andrew Luck threw a 73-yard touchdown to T.Y. Hilton to make the score 12-7. Seattle drove into field goal range but a 48-yard field goal was blocked and returned for a touchdown by the Colts. Indy led 14-12 until Wilson found Jermaine Kearse to give Seattle a 19-14 lead. Luck led the Colts downfield and they kicked a field goal to make it 19-17 at the half. Seattle kicked another field goal to make it 22-17. Indianapolis fumbled and led to a 25-17 Seahawks lead. Luck then found Hilton in the endzone but the two-point-conversion failed leaving the score at 25-23. Seattle then kicked a 4th field goal to extend their lead to 28-23.

Write an article based on this "Make the compote. Sift the dry ingredients. Combine the ingredients. Add the butter. Cook the pancakes."

Pour a small bag of frozen raspberries into a pot. Cook on medium heat until they start to melt. Add in 1/2 cup of sugar and stir. Reduce to low heat. Let the mixture simmer as you start the pancakes, checking it every few minutes. Once you notice the compote is syrupy, you can taste test it. If they are too tart, you can add another tablespoon of sugar until it is sweet enough for you. Remove from heat and sit aside when it is done. Sift the flour and baking powder together in a large bowl. Make sure there are no lumps. Crack the eggs in a medium bowl. Pour in the sugar and whisk them together until combined. Then pour in the milk and whisk them all together until combined. Make a well in the middle of the flour mixture. Pour in some of the wet ingredients. Whisk them together. Continue to add the wet ingredients a little at a time, continuing to whisk as you do. Melt the butter in a pan. Pour the melted butter into the batter. Stir gently with a spoon until it is combined with the batter. Heat a cast iron skillet or griddle pan on medium heat. Coat the pan in nonstick cooking spray or butter. Pour 1/4 cup of the batter into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes. You should see bubbles forming on the top of the batter. Flip the pancake and cook for 1 more minute. The pancake should be lightly golden brown on both sides. Then remove it from the pan. Continue with the rest of the batter. Serve with a generous helping of raspberry compote pour on top of the pancakes. This batter is made to serve four people. While you are cooking the rest of the pancakes, keep the cooked pancakes on a plate in a 200 degree oven to keep them warm.

On July 10, 1973, in Rome, 'Ndrangheta kidnappers abducted Getty's 16-year-old grandson, John Paul Getty III, and demanded by telephone a $17 million payment (approximately $93.7 million in 2017) for the young man's safe return. However, "the family suspected a ploy by the rebellious teenager to extract money from his miserly grandfather." John Paul Getty Jr. asked his father for the money, but was refused. In November 1973, an envelope containing a lock of hair and a human ear arrived at a daily newspaper. The second demand had been delayed three weeks by an Italian postal strike. The demand threatened that Paul would be further mutilated unless the victims paid $3.2 million (approximately $17.6 million in 2017): "This is Paul's ear. If we don't get some money within 10 days, then the other ear will arrive. In other words, he will arrive in little bits." When the kidnappers finally reduced their demands to $3 million (approximately $16.5 million in 2017), Getty senior agreed to pay no more than $2.2 million (approximately $12.1 million in 2017) - the maximum that would be tax-deductible. He lent his son the remaining $800,000 (approximately $4.4 million in 2017) at 4% interest. Paul III was found alive in a Lauria filling station, in the province of Potenza, shortly after the ransom was paid. After his release Paul III called his grandfather to thank him for paying the ransom but, it is claimed, Getty refused to come to the phone. Nine people associated with 'Ndrangheta were later arrested for the kidnapping, but only two were convicted. Paul III was permanently affected by the trauma and became a drug addict. After a stroke brought on by a cocktail of drugs and alcohol in 1981, Paul III was rendered speechless, nearly blind and partially paralyzed for the rest of his life. He died 30 years later on February 5, 2011, at the age of 54. Getty defended his initial refusal to pay the ransom on two points. First, he argued that to submit to the kidnappers' demands would immediately place his other fourteen grandchildren at the risk of copy-cat kidnappers. He added: The second reason for my refusal was much broader-based. I contend that acceding to the demands of criminals and terrorists merely guarantees the continuing increase and spread of lawlessness, violence and such outrages as terror-bombings, "skyjackings" and the slaughter of hostages that plague our present-day world. (Getty, 1976, p. 139). CANNOTANSWER Answer this question "Was the ransom paid?" by extracting the answer from the text above.

Summarize: It should be near the top of the document. Type the following into the space below the "body {" bracket and above the closing bracket: -webkit-animation: colorchange 60s infinite; animation: colorchange 60s infinite; The top line of text is for Chromium-based browsers while the bottom line of text is for other browsers. Now you'll use the @keyframes rule to set the background colors through which you'll cycle, as well as the length of time each color will appear on the page. Again, you'll need separate entries for the different sets of browsers. Enter the following lines of code below the closed "body" bracket: @-webkit-keyframes colorchange { 0% {background: #33FFF3;} 25% {background: #78281F;} 50% {background: #117A65;} 75% {background: #DC7633;} 100% {background: #9B59B6;} } @keyframes colorchange { 0% {background: #33FFF3;} 25% {background: #78281F;} 50% {background: #117A65;} 75% {background: #DC7633;} 100% {background: #9B59B6;} } Note that the two rules (@-webkit-keyframes and @keyframes have the same background colors and percentages. You'll want these to stay uniform so the experience is the same on all browsers. The percentages (0%, 25%, etc) are of the total animation length (60s). When the page loads, the background will be the color set at 0% (#33FFF3). Once the animation has played for 25% of of 60 seconds, the background will turn to #7821F, and so on. You can modify the times and colors to fit your desired outcome. Your entire code for the changing background color should resemble the following: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> body { -webkit-animation: colorchange 60s infinite; animation: colorchange 60s infinite; } @-webkit-keyframes colorchange { 0% {background: #33FFF3;} 25% {background: #78281F;} 50% {background: #117A65;} 75% {background: #DC7633;} 100% {background: #9B59B6;} } @keyframes colorchange { 0% {background: #33FFF3;} 25% {background: #78281F;} 50% {background: #117A65;} 75% {background: #DC7633;} 100% {background: #9B59B6;} } </style> </head> <body> </body> </html>

Sadly, a lot of people seem to be trapped in this mindset. The patrons walk around in a zombie-like daze. In their intense social longing to "be someone," or "find someone" they force themselves to frequent this club hoping to be seen by the right person, maybe get a snapshot on 944 or Dirty Scottsdale .com. It is true that this is quintessential Scottsdale, but it is not representative of the entire city's scene as a whole, as some sadly write it off as. Highlight: Dancing to "Sandstorm."

Summarize: If your carafe is made of metal, gently pour your milk into a microwave-safe container. If your carafe is microwave safe, you can pop it directly in the microwave. Check the milk every 30 seconds until you reach your desired temperature. Overheating your milk can cause it to scald, affecting the flavor. Avoid heating your milk to the point of boiling. Wear an oven mitt or use a tea towel to remove your hot container from the microwave. Handle the milk as if it is very hot—it probably is!—to prevent accidental burns. If you’d like some hot milk in your coffee in addition to just the foam, pour your frothed milk slowly into your cup so the foam doesn’t collapse. Treating your frothed milk gently will prevent it from losing air.

Microwave your frothed milk for 30-40 seconds. Remove the milk from the microwave. Use a spoon to lift the foam onto your favorite coffee drinks.

The Wildhearts are an English rock group, formed in 1989 in Newcastle upon Tyne. The band's sound is a mixture of hard rock and melodic pop music, often described in the music press as combining influences as diverse as The Beatles and 1980s-era Metallica. However, this characterization is denied by the band, who see their influences as being far broader, as shown in the song "29 X The Pain", which lists many of group leader Ginger's influences. Despite several top 20 singles and one top 10 album in Britain, the Wildhearts have not achieved major commercial success, owing in part to difficulties with record companies and many internal problems often relating to recreational drugs and depression. The Wildhearts formed in late 1989, after Ginger was sacked from the Quireboys. An often-told story from this time period is that Ginger decided to start his own band after falling down a flight of stairs with a bottle of Jack Daniel's but emerging with the bottle intact. Had the bottle smashed, he would have slit his wrists with the shards, but instead he resolved to form a band in which he could exercise his songwriting skills, rather than just playing guitar as in his previous bands. Throughout the band's career, Ginger has written almost all the songs himself. Initially called the Wild Hearts (two words), the band originally included singers Snake (ex-Tobruk) and Dunken F. Mullett (ex-Mournblade), who both joined for short periods. Nine demos were recorded in 1989 and 1990 with Snake singing on four and Dunken on five. These demos remain unreleased and displayed a sound resembling Guns N' Roses, with the Wildhearts sound still to be developed. Some of the demos were produced by Ric Browde and intended for an EP release that never materialized, though these demos are occasionally found on unofficial releases. In March 1991, Ginger reluctantly took over on lead vocals despite his reservations, as he has never thought himself a good singer. After many early personnel changes, the line-up solidified around Ginger on guitar and vocals, CJ (Christopher Jagdhar) on guitar and vocals, Danny McCormack on bass and vocals, and Dogs D'Amour drummer Bam. This line-up released two EPs in 1992, Mondo Akimbo a-Go-Go and Don't Be Happy...Just Worry. CANNOTANSWER Ask a question about this article.

Returned to My Florist for breakfast w/friends. One friend and I always struggle w/the sweet vs. savory breakfast choice, so we frequently end up ordering one of each and splitting our orders. We opted for this at My Florist. We ordered the brioche French toast and the build-your-own omelette. We got the omelette with gruyere cheese, spinach and bacon. The portions were huge. We each got a slice of toast w/real butter, half an order of gruyere scalloped potatoes, half a serving of fresh fruit, half of an enormous omelette, and 2 slices of French toast. Our server had no problem bringing an extra plate for our meal, which makes splitting orders less messy. Our coffee, water and ice tea were topped off continuously. I can't say enough about the omelette. It had big chunks of bacon, tons of spinach, and gooey melted cheese. Fabulous! Real butter and real maple syrup also get a big thumbs-up from me.

Article: The sudden and unexplained release of the American photojournalist Peter Theo Curtis at the weekend has raised fresh questions about the role of Qatar in funding terrorism and broking the payment of multi-million dollar ransoms for western hostages held by Islamist terror groups in the Middle East. The US government and the Curtis family have denied paying any ransom for Mr Curtis, 45, who was released on Sunday after 22 months in captivity and just six days after the gruesome execution of James Foley , another American journalist. No official explanation has been given as to why Jabhat al-Nusrah, al-Qaida's main affiliate in Syria, decided to release Mr Curtis, only that his freedom was brokered by Qatar, the tiny Gulf emirate which has a track record of paying ransoms. In a statement Qatar's foreign ministry said it had obtained Mr Curtis's release because of "Qatar's belief in the principles of humanity and its keenness on the lives of individuals and their right to freedom and dignity" but provided no further concrete details. David Weinberg, a senior fellow specialising in Gulf affairs at the Foundation for Defence of Democracies who testified recently before the US Congress on Qatar's role in funding terrorism, said the release of Mr Curtis had raised many unanswered questions. "If you see a group like Jabhat Al-Nusra releasing hostages, they're getting something out of it," said Mr Weinberg, adding that Qatar had emerged in the last two years as a "central figure" in the payment of ransoms to Middle East terror groups. The Obama administration said that it had specifically requested that Qatar should not pay a ransom for Mr Curtis, but declined to speculate further on why Jabhat-al Nusra had released him. "The Curtis family said that the Qatari government told them that they did not pay a ransom for Mr Curtis," added Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, saying that any further questions should be directed at Qatari officials. Asked to speculate why Jabhat Al-Nusra might have freed Mr Curtis, or how Qatar intermediaries achieved their goal, Mr Earnest said was not in a position to "get in the head" of his captors and declined to comment further. Qatar remains a major US ally in the Middle East, however the relationship has come under fire from parts of the US Congress in recent months after a US Treasury official publicly confirmed in March that Qatar was a leading funder of Hamas, a proscribed terror organisation. Fresh details emerged yesterday about Mr Curtis's time in captivity, including that he was held with Matthew Schrier, an American photojournalist who escaped in July 2013 after making a hole in the wall of their cell and standing on Mr Curtis's back to escape. Mr Curtis was too big to fit through the hole. Relatives told the New York Times that they had received no further information about Mr Curtis since that time, but that links to his captors had been opened through Qatar after Samantha Power, the United States ambassador to the United Nations, facilitated an introduction. Ransom demands for between $3m (£1.8m) and $25m were made by Jabhat al Nusra, but never paid, according to Amy Rosen, a cousin of Mr Curtis. "Every person that our family dealt with in Qatar said that under no circumstances would a ransom be paid – and that this was something the U.S. government had requested, and they had agreed to," she told the New York Times, "But at the same time, we don't pretend to know everything that happened." Mr Weinberg added that it was possible that Qatar had succeeded in broking the release in exchange for non-monetary favours, perhaps for using its influence among Syria's rival factions to gain some local advantage for Jabhat Al-Nusra. However, according to a New York Times investigation, citing interviews with diplomats and families involved, Qatar facilitated the payment of a total of $29.9m in ransom payments to al Qaeda in the Arab Peninsula for nationals of Finland, Switzerland and Austria, among others. More recently Qatar was reported to have paid $4m to Jabhat Al-Nusra to win the release of 13 nuns as well as mediating in the release of Sgt Bowe Bergdahl in exchange for five members of the Afghan Taliban held in Guantánamo Bay. Other experts added that Qatar had pulled off the release to demonstrate its commitment to fighting Islamic State and other jihadist groups which has been widely questioned in recent months. Frederic Wehrey of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace told AFP that Qatar was now "apparently falling into line" with the wider fight against Islamic State radicals. Qatar's foreign minister, Khalid al-Attiyah, said last weekend the emirate was "repelled" by Islamic State radicals who beheaded Mr Foley – although only days early a German government minister had accused Qatar of funding Islamic State troops. ||||| JOINVILLE-LE-PONT, France (AP) — The overjoyed father of the American journalist freed by Islamic militants said Monday that his son and others who venture into dangerous lands like Syria deserve praise for wanting to "bear witness ... tell the truth about what's going on." Michael Padnos, who lives on a boat outside Paris, said in an interview with The Associated Press that the interminable search and wait for his son had been like "hunting for bats in a dark, black cave." Theo Padnos spoke to his mother in Boston Sunday night "for less than a minute" but said he was "happy to be back in the civilized world and see some girls," according to the father's account. An unidentified American with the journalist initially spoke with Padnos' mother, Nancy Curtis, but told her that "he is too upset to talk ... right now." He called her in the evening, according to the father. It wasn't clear when Padnos would return home to Boston. He was apparently in Tel Aviv, where he was driven after being released Sunday in the Golan Heights, a week after the beheading of another American journalist, James Foley, an act that was videotaped and posted on the Internet. His family said they believe their son was captured in October 2012, shortly after crossing into Syria. He was held by Jabhat al-Nusra, also known as the Nusra Front, according to U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry. The al-Qaida-linked group is fighting the regime of Syrian leader Bashar Assad. Michael Padnos brushed aside delays in his son's return. "They say they're going to bring him back when he's ready to travel," Padnos said. "The main thing is he's safe ... That's the only thing that counts for me," he said, calling his son Theophilus, his birth name. Theo Padnos changed his name to Peter Theo Curtis before leaving for Syria some two years ago for safety reasons, his father said, noting he had written a book "Undercover Muslim" after investigating the secretive Islamist world in Yemen, pretending to be a deeply religious Muslim. The journalist's father said the risky life of his son, whom he described as an "itinerant journalist," made him fearful. But "you can only respect those people (journalists) for doing it." "Your heart's in your mouth while you bite your tongue ... but it's noble and worthy" to do as his son did, he said. Beyond the relief and the joy, questions remain, notably how Padnos was freed, and whether ransom in any form was involved. It is a U.S. policy not to pay ransom. Michael Padnos said Qatar's involvement was crucial. "The government that has been the intermediary in this has been Qatar, and Qatar has said that they had him released on a humanitarian basis without the payment of any ransom," Padnos said. "I don't know any more than that." Betsy Sullivan, a cousin of Curtis, said earlier other intermediaries involved in negotiations threatened the family and made ransom demands of varying amounts. The family said that Qatari representatives assured them that no money was paid out. Foley's Islamic State captors had demanded $132.5 million (100 million euros) from his parents and political concessions from Washington. Neither obliged, authorities say. The journalist's father praised the U.S. government and other nations who helped procure freedom for his son. He wished the same outcome for dozens of others held captive in Syria and elsewhere. "It's just a very chaotic situation over there. There's no clear lines of authority. There are no clear people in charge. It's unclear what's going on. That's what is so awful about the last two years," he said. "You know, I felt as if I was hunting for bats in a dark black cave." ||||| What is a summary?

– American officials say they didn't pay a penny to secure the release of kidnapped journalist Peter Theo Curtis—and they asked Qatar not to offer money to the Nusra Front militants holding him. A White House spokesman says the US government put the Curtis family in touch with the Qataris, who were able to secure his freedom through their contacts with the militants, reports the New York Times, which notes that Qatar has paid millions to free other hostages. "The United States government certainly did not ask the Qataris to pay a ransom," the White House spokesman says. "In fact, we asked the Qataris, consistent with our long-standing policy, to not pay a ransom for Mr. Curtis." But if you see a group like the al-Qaeda-affiliated Nusra Front "releasing hostages, they're getting something out of it," a Middle East analyst tells the Telegraph, speculating that Qatar may have offered non-monetary favors in return for Curtis' release. "Qatar has said that they had him released on a humanitarian basis without the payment of any ransom," the journalist's father tells the AP. "I don't know any more than that." The father praised the governments that helped secure his son's freedom, saying the 22 months he had been in captivity had been like "hunting for bats in a dark, black cave." (By some estimates, ransoms paid by European governments account for half of al-Qaeda's income.)

Pensions minister Steve Webb has now urged people to not make rash decisions. He is the Pensions Minister who famously said we should be free to blow our life savings on a Lamborghini. But after liberating a nation to spend their money as they wish, Steve Webb has now urged people to take their time rather than make rash decisions. Yesterday the biggest pension reforms in a century were launched, allowing over-55s to cash in their pension pots rather than being forced to buy a fixed monthly income. But as Pensions Freedom Day finally arrived, the Government appealed for caution, perhaps fearing that some people will quickly exhaust their funds and be forced to rely on the State. Mr Webb said over-55s ‘don’t have to rush this’ and insisted there was ‘a case for waiting and seeing’. He said April 6 was the ‘starting gun’ and not a ‘deadline’, adding: ‘We want people to make informed choices. This isn’t a mad scramble rush to do something this morning.’ Asked about his flippant remark last year that people should be able to buy a Lamborghini with their pension, he admitted ‘you will pay a hell of a lot of tax’ if you do. While the first 25 per cent of any withdrawals from pensions are tax-free, savers will have to pay income tax on the remainder. Those who withdraw their pension in one go face hefty bills if they are pushed into a higher tax bracket. Official forecasts show that the Treasury is set to receive an additional £370million of income tax in the next year as a result of the changes. Scroll down for video. Mr Cameron has a bit of lunch with Lilli Docherty and her daughter Dakota as they eat lunch in the garden with people who have benefited from tax and pension changes that came into force today. And documents published alongside the Budget suggest this could reach £3.8billion by 2020. Research by consumer group Which? shows that buying a £228,000 Lamborghini Aventador would incur a £126,000 tax bill if you withdrew the cash in one go – enough to buy a Porsche 911 Turbo. But a study by insurer Aegon found that a third of over-55s were unaware of the tax implications of withdrawing all their money at once. Spokesman Kate Smith said: ‘People could lose out on thousands of pounds of their hard-earned savings.’ Liberal Democrat leader Nick Clegg - who was out campaigning with the Energy Secretary Ed Davey in Surbiton, London, today - has hailed the pensions reforms. And yesterday Dr Ros Altmann, the Government’s champion for older workers, warned that people who withdraw their cash could be hit with a ‘triple tax whammy’ – on their withdrawal, on any new investment and because the money no longer had tax-free status. She urged caution, and said that right now she would advise pensioners to ‘do nothing’. The new reforms will allow 2.1million over-55s to withdraw all or part of their funds rather than being required to buy an annuity. Studies show many will use at least part of their money to go on holiday, pay off debts, renovate their homes or help their family financially. However it could take time for people to get their hands on their pension pot. While all firms must allow people to take their entire lump sum, many will not allow partial withdrawals. This means many customers will have to switch companies, incurring exit fees and involving time-consuming paperwork. Michelle Cracknell, of the Pensions Advisory Service, said she would advise pensioners ‘not to book the cruise right now’. Experts fear pensioners could be vulnerable if they do not receive proper advice regarding pension plans now that over-55s can cash in their pensions and spend them  instead of being forced to buy an annuity (file image) Write highlights for this article.

Over-55s are now able to cash in their pensions instead of buying annuity. Pensions Minister Steve Webb said people should buy whatever they want. He said: 'If you want to enjoy it, why shouldn't you be able to do that?' Now, Mr Webb is urging people to take time and not make rash decisions.

Write an article based on this "Open the broccoli package. Cook the broccoli over a stove top. Strain and serve."

Just cut or tear the top of the broccoli package to take out the broccoli. It may be easier to cut the package. Place the desired portion in a pot with 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) of water. Warm it over medium heat just until the water begins to boil. Immediately remove the pot from the burner.. If you're cooking it in a microwave, cook it for 1 - 3 minutes, depending on the strength of your microwave and the amount of broccoli being cooked. Broccoli should be cooked al dente. If it is still partially frozen, cook it for more time in 30-second increments until it's done, and then remove it from the microwave. Place it in a covered microwave-safe dish with 1 inch (2.5 cm) of water. After you strain the broccoli, you can serve it plain or with seasoning, or incorporate it into another recipe.

In the rest of the world, China's supreme sage, Kongfuzi (K'ung Fu-tzu), is better known by the romanized name "Confucius." He was born in 551 b.c. in what is now Shandong Province in eastern China. So profound was his influence that eleven Chinese emperors made pilgrimages to the birthplace of the Great Teacher. You, too, can pay your respects at the vast temple raised on the site of his home in the small town of Qufu (Chufu), and at his tomb in the woods just to the north. The classics of Confucius, while seldom addressing spiritual and metaphysical matters, set standards for social and political conduct that still underlie many of the Chinese ways of doing and perceiving. Confucius laid great stress on the proper and harmonious relationships between ruler and subject, parent and child, teacher and student, the individual and the state. These relationships were deemed to be hierarchical and dictatorial. If the order was disturbed, dire consequences inevitably resulted. The son who disobeyed the father would bring disaster upon himself and his family, just as the emperor who defied the "mandate of heaven" or ignored the good of the empire brought ruin upon the nation. Over the centuries Confucius has suffered more changes of fortune than probably any other philosopher. Honored soon after his death as the greatest of scholars, he was later revered as semi-divine; you can still visit temples to Confucius in many Chinese cities. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–1976), however, he was denounced as a counter-revolutionary force. It was only after the death of Chairman Mao (1976) and the opening of China to the outside world under more progressive reformers that Confucius, too, was "rehabilitated." Unlike Confucius, about whose life many specific and even colorful details are known, the philosopher Laozi (Lao Tse or Lao-Tzu) is an enigma. Estimates of his date of birth vary by well over a century. One legend even says he taught the young Confucius. Laozi is immortalized by his book of thoughts on man, nature, and the universe, Daodejing ("The Way and Its Power"), which became the major text of China's greatest indigenous religion, Daoism (Taoism). With its emphasis on nature, intuition, the individual, paradox ("The knowledge which is not knowledge"), and the cosmic flow known as "The Way," Daoism became the religion of artists and philosophers. After the death of Confucius, the Zhou Dynasty entered a period of strife known as the "Warring States" period (475–221 b.c.). Question: "Was the Mandate of Heaven about hierarchical and dictatorial relationships of order?" Response: "Yes" Based on the paragraph, is the response to the question is factually correct? OPTIONS: - no - yes

Hanson is an American pop rock band from Tulsa, Oklahoma, United States, formed by brothers Isaac (guitar, bass, piano, vocals), Taylor (keyboards, piano, guitar, drums, vocals), and Zac (drums, piano, guitar, vocals). Supporting members include Dimitrius Collins (keyboards, guitar), and Andrew Perusi (bass) who have toured and performed live with the band since 2007. They are best known for the 1997 hit song "MMMBop" from their debut album released through Mercury, Polygram, Middle of Nowhere, which earned three Grammy nominations. Despite the enormous commercial success of Middle of Nowhere, the band suffered from the merger that eliminated their label, Mercury Records . On January 15, 2007, Hanson released on iTunes the first episode of their documentary podcast "Taking the Walk", detailing production of the studio album. The first episode of the band's documentary Strong Enough to Break was also released on iTunes. The program is edited into 13 episodes for release by podcast. In March 2007, Hanson began a "preview tour" to promote The Walk and give fans a taste of recent work. Over six days, Hanson performed at the Starland Ballroom in Sayreville, New Jersey, Toad's Place in New Haven, Connecticut, The Crocodile Rock in Allentown, Pennsylvania, and The Supper Club in New York City. On March 30, Taylor and Zac appeared in Dallas, TX to screen their documentary at the AFI Film Festival. Afterward, the brothers held a Q&A session along with director Ashley Greyson. Hanson performed in the UK during April 2007, playing songs from The Walk. They also promoted the release of the single "Go" and the UK release of the album. The Walk, Hanson's second studio album with 3CG Records (Fourth overall), was released in the US, Mexico and Canada on July 24. It was released in Japan on February 21 and in the UK on April 30. On May 6, 2007, the 10th anniversary of Hanson Day, the band re-recorded their first major label album, Middle Of Nowhere, at The Blank Slate bar in their hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. The band invited fan club members, causing hundreds to fly to Oklahoma for the acoustic event. Hanson played concerts in the summer of 2007, supporting release of The Walk. The band appeared in Providence, Boston, New York City, Toronto, and Los Angeles. The record Middle of Nowhere Acoustic was released at the end of that year, exclusively on Hanson.net. The record included all but three songs of those originally in Middle of Nowhere ("Speechless", "Thinking of You" and "With You in Your Dreams") and featured the song Yearbook, never performed live before.

From all the rave reviews, we couldn't wait to see this show. We love wacky humor and creative material, especially from Australia and New Zealand. I admit this may not be a fair review since we only saw the first 15 minutes. But we just couldn't bear any more misery - it was definitely the most boring and painful 15 minutes we've ever experienced watching a TV show - it felt like 15 hours. The songs may be (mildly) interesting by themselves, but inserted for an interminable 3 minutes each in the middle of a story scene just doesn't work. We're trying hard now to erase the memory. If you want some wonderful down-under humor in a delightful and engaging film, see "The Dish" instead. Did this review think positively or negatively of the movie? OPTIONS: - negative - positive

Paragraph: Washington (CNN) -- The Pacific island nation of Palau has agreed to take in 17 Chinese Muslims held at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the country's ambassador to the United States said Wednesday. The map shows the Pacific island nation of Palau in relation to China. Details of the transfer are still being worked out, Ambassador Hersey Kyota told CNN. But Kyota said his country, a former U.S. Pacific trust territory, has agreed to take in the ethnic Uighur detainees "for humanitarian reasons" and because of the "special relationship" between Palau and the United States. U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly would not comment on the announcement, telling reporters, "We're still involved in ongoing discussions." The agreement includes some U.S. aid for Palau, Kyota said, but he said those details remained to be worked out as well. The country, with a population of about 20,000, is about 1,000 miles southeast of Manila, Philippines, and about 4,600 miles west of Hawaii. Palau has received nearly $900 million in U.S. aid since independence in 1994, according to congressional auditors, and depends on Washington for defense. The "Compact of Free Association" between Palau and the United States is up for review, but Kelly said any additional aid offer "is not linked to any other discussions we may be having with the government of Palau." The Uighurs were accused of receiving weapons and military training in Afghanistan. Question: "What were the Chinese Muslims accused of?" Answer: "Involved in ongoing discussions" Based on the paragraph, is this answer correct OPTIONS: - no - yes

"Tumbling Doll of Flesh" by Tamakichi Anaru is a Japanese shocker about three thugs who sexually abuse,torture and dismember a young woman whilst filming their horrible actions.Typically twisted Japanese porno sickie that offers plenty of sadistic sexual violence and grisly gore.There is no plot to speak of,just plenty of hard core sex scenes(optically censored again)and lots of blood.The special effects are quite impressive-the dismemberment of Japanese porn actress is shown in unflinching detail.The tongue cutting scene really made me squirm.Her arm is also chopped off and her stomach is graphically sliced open and finally one of the sickos is having sex with her intestines."Psycho:The Snuff Reels" actually reminds me "Guinea Pig:Flowers of Flesh and Blood",but it's not as memorable.So if you're a fan of ultra-depraved Japanese sickies like "All Women Are Whores" or "Raping My Virgin Slave" give this one a look.8 out of 10.

Here is a news article: Lindsay's Dad -- She Shouldn't Quit Cold Turkey Lindsay Lohan's father believes that forcing Lindsay to cut herself off from drugs and alcohol ASAP is a bad thing -- and he's getting support from an expert. Michael Lohan tells TMZ he thinks Lindsay has a problem with prescription pills, but he "doesn't think it's a good idea for her to detox on her own." He feels Lindsay would be best served by "being under a doctor's care." And according to addiction recovery specialist Dr. Marc Kern -- Michael's logic ain't too far off. Kern tells us if -- and only if -- Lindsay has a drug problem, "There probably should have been an assessment of her reliance and dependency of substances before they took her off of everything. That would have been a safer method." Of course, this all assumes that Lindsay actually has a drug problem. ||||| In Judge Marsha Revel’s chambers Monday, Lindsay Lohan and her lawyer were unable to provide a plane ticket proving she had a trip home for a mandatory court date, RadarOnline.com has learned exclusively. The meeting took place after Lindsay and her lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley represented in court that the could produce proof that Lindsay had a plane ticket for May 19, the day before she was required to appear in Los Angeles court for a probation status update hearing. PHOTOS: Lindsay Lohan Arrives To Court Monday But Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers told RadarOnline.com exclusively that Lohan did NOT produce a plane ticket she claimed to have when the parties met after Monday’s court proceeding. “All I got was an itinerary for travel on May 18th, and not a plane ticket,” Meyers told RadarOnline.com exclusively. ”I did get a copy of Ms. Lohan’s plane ticket and boarding pass for May 22nd.

That hearing is set for July 6. “I think she is very upset with the conditions the court imposed,” Meyers told RadarOnline.com about Lindsay. PHOTOS: Lindsay And Ali In Bikinis In Hawaii Lohan was ordered to wear a SCRAM alcohol-monitoring bracelet and was fitted with one at the courthouse. She was ordered not to drink alcohol, to attend alcohol education class once a week and to undergo random drug testing, which will happen at least once a week. PHOTOS: Lindsay In Cannes The judge denied her request to not wear the SCRAM bracelet, which Lohan’s lawyer said would interfere with upcoming photo shoots and a movie role. The judge also denied Lohan’s request to go to Texas, where the actress said she is scheduled to film Inferno. Meyers told RadarOnline.com after today’s hearing that if Lindsay tests positive for drugs or violates any term of her probation, the judge can revoke her bail and issue an arrest warrant.

– Lindsay Lohan’s attorney seems to have told a bit of a fib in court yesterday when she tried to get her client out of wearing an alcohol monitoring bracelet. The bracelet, she argued, would be out of place when Lilo shoots an upcoming film in Texas. Makes sense, until you realize there is no upcoming shoot in Texas—a fact that TMZ confirmed with the producers of Lohan’s two current projects. Her lawyer also said LiLo would produce a plane ticket showing she attempted to get back from Cannes in time for her original court date, but all she actually provided was an itinerary, the DA tells Radar. And of course, no story would be complete without input from Lohan’s dad: He doesn’t agree with the judge’s decision to cut Linds off from drugs and alcohol cold turkey, and tells TMZ he wants a doctor to monitor her.

Write an article based on this summary: – President Trump has stepped up his search for an FBI director to replace James Comey and he says he might name his choice by the end of next week. Insiders say Trump is looking at around a dozen candidates, four of which will be interviewed at the Justice Department Saturday. Officials tell the New York Times that the White House wants to pick a candidate without close ties to Trump to avoid accusations it he is trying to derail the Russia probe. His choice will need to be confirmed by the Senate. A look at the four being interviewed Saturday: Alice Fisher. Fisher, a white-collar defense lawyer who would be the first female FBI director, was the first to meet with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and deputy Rod Rosenstein on Saturday the AP reports. She ran the Justice Department's criminal division during George W. Bush's second term. Sen. John Cornyn. The Senate majority whip and former Texas attorney general has been a prominent Trump defender in recent weeks, though it's not clear whether he would be willing to give up his position as the Senate's No. 2 Republican, the Washington Post reports. "I’m happy serving my state and my country in my present position," he said when asked about becoming FBI director. Michael Garcia. Garcia, currently a New York state judge, served as assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the early years of the George W. Bush administration and became the Manhattan US attorney in 2005, Politico reports. Andrew McCabe. McCabe, a career FBI agent who has been involved in major counterterrorism investigations, became acting director after Comey's firing. The Times notes that he would be the first serving senior FBI official nominated to become director, a move that Trump might be considering as an "olive branch" to the agency. Trump is spending his Saturday delivering the commencement address at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Va. Asked on his way to the Christian college whether he would name his choice for FBI director before he leaves for his first foreign trip Friday, he said " even that is possible," the AP reports.

Three other people are expected to interview Saturday with... (Associated Press) WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on the Trump administration's search for a new FBI director (all times local): 9:40 a.m. President Donald Trump says he could name a new FBI director by late next week, before he departs on his first foreign trip. Trump spoke with reporters traveling with him on his way to give a commencement address at a Virginia college. The president was asked whether he could announce an FBI candidate by Friday — when that trip abroad is set to begin. Trump says "even that is possible." Justice Department officials began interviewing candidates on Saturday to replace fired FBI Director James Comey. The job requires Senate confirmation. Trump fired Comey on Tuesday amid the FBI's investigation into Russia's role in the 2016 presidential election, as well as possible ties between Trump associates and the Russian government. ___ 9:25 a.m. The first candidate to interview for FBI director has left the Justice Department after about 90 minutes. White-collar defense attorney Alice Fisher interviewed with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein. Three other people are expected to interview on Saturday afternoon. They are acting FBI director Andrew McCabe, Michael J. Garcia, an associate judge on New York's highest court, and GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Senate leader and a former state attorney general. That's according to two people familiar with the search process who weren't authorized to publicly discuss the deliberations and spoke on condition of anonymity. They are among nearly a dozen candidates President Donald Trump is considering to succeed ousted FBI Director James Comey. Trump fired Comey this past week. Fisher was assistant attorney general for the department's criminal division under President George W. Bush. ___ 8:35 a.m. White-collar defense attorney Alice Fisher has arrived at the Justice Department to interview for FBI director. Fisher — assistant attorney general for the department's criminal division under President George W. Bush — was seen entering the department's headquarters on Saturday morning. She's one of nearly a dozen candidates President Donald Trump is considering to succeed ousted FBI Director James Comey. Trump fired Comey this past week. Three other people are expected to interview Saturday with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein. Fisher faced resistance from Democrats during her confirmation for the Justice job over her alleged participation in discussions about detention policies at the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba. The FBI has never had a female director. ___ 7:55 a.m. Four candidates to be FBI director are in line for the first interviews with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and his deputy, Rod Rosenstein, at Justice Department headquarters. The Trump administration is looking to fill the job after President Donald Trump fired Director James Comey this week. Among those expected to be coming in Saturday are acting FBI director Andrew McCabe and Alice Fisher, a top Justice Department official in the George W. Bush administration. That's according to two people familiar with the search process who weren't authorized to publicly discuss the deliberations and spoke on condition of anonymity. Saturday's list includes Michael J. Garcia, an associate judge on New York's highest court, and GOP Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, the No. 2 Senate leader and a former state attorney general. ||||| Sen. John Cornyn (Tex.), the second-ranking Senate Republican, who has in recent weeks become a more outward defender of President Trump, and acting FBI director Andrew McCabe, who on Thursday contradicted the Trump White House on a range of topics, will interview Saturday to serve as the FBI’s permanent director, according to people familiar with the matter. The men are two of at least four people who will interview to replace James B. Comey, whom Trump suddenly fired this week, the people said. The others are Alice Fisher, a white-collar defense lawyer who previously led the Justice Department’s criminal division, and Michael J. Garcia, a judge on the New York State Court of Appeals who previously served as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York. [Acting FBI director contradicts Trump White House on Comey, Russia probe] All four will be interviewed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions and Deputy Attorney General Rod J. Rosenstein, the two top officials in the Justice Department. The list is not a comprehensive accounting of finalists for the FBI director position. It is possible other candidates could be considered, officials said, and the ultimate decision falls to Trump. Justice Department officials also have interviewed four other candidates to serve as interim FBI director, although it is possible that McCabe could stay on in that role if he were not selected for the permanent job at the top. The job also requires Senate confirmation. Whoever is selected is appointed to a 10-year term, although the person can be removed by the president. Trump’s sudden removal of Comey from the position set off a political firestorm in Washington, fueling fears that the president was trying to stifle the bureau’s probe into possible coordination between his campaign and Russia to influence the outcome of the 2016 election. Trump acknowledged in an interview with NBC News published Thursday that he was thinking of the Russia controversy when he decided to fire Comey. Previously, White House officials said he was acting on the recommendation of the top two Justice Department officials, particularly a memo from Rosenstein that had criticized Comey for his handling of the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server while she was secretary of state. Trump said, though, that he would have removed Comey no matter the advice from Rosenstein or Sessions. Cornyn, 65, is a former Texas attorney general and state supreme court justice and is serving his third term in the Senate. He is the Senate majority whip, making him the second-ranking Republican in the chamber. But GOP senators set term limits for leadership posts, and his ends at the start of 2019. Cornyn is not expected to challenge Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), who is not term-limited and is widely respected among Republican senators. That means Cornyn is on the verge of hitting a professional ceiling, so the 10-year term of FBI director might be a logical next move. If Cornyn were selected, there likely would be Democratic concern about handing over the nation’s premier law enforcement agency to a Republican who — despite being considered an affable senator — has served as a prominent partisan attack dog. Cornyn has in recent weeks become more of an outward defender of Trump. This week, he dismissed the idea that Trump fired Comey to impede the FBI’s Russia probe, terming the idea a “phony narrative.” “If you assume that, this strikes me as a lousy way to do it,” he said. “All it does is heighten the attention given to the issue.” If he were nominated, his confirmation would be assured because of Democratic rules changes in 2013 that require only a simple majority. But Democratic strategists have already put their party’s senators on notice that they will hold their feet to the fire to ensure they vote against a Cornyn confirmation. Spokesmen for Cornyn did not immediately respond to emails Friday night. Asked previously whether he would be willing to be FBI director, Cornyn said with a smile, “I’m happy serving my state and my country in my present position.” One person familiar with Cornyn’s thinking told The Washington Post that his meeting with Sessions on Saturday was not billed as an interview and instead was about the “next steps” for the FBI. Cornyn was to have delivered the commencement address Saturday at Texas Southern University in Houston, but university officials on Friday canceled his visit to the historically black college after a petition signed by hundreds of students protested his appearance. The university said it asked Cornyn to visit at a later date. The senator’s office said Friday that he respected the decision and looked forward to visiting in the future. McCabe, who had been the FBI deputy director before Comey was fired, might be a more palatable choice for Democrats. At a Senate Intelligence Committee hearing Thursday, he heaped praise on his former boss and did not hesitate to rebut narratives advanced by the White House, including its attempt to minimize the importance of the Russia probe. He is a longtime FBI agent who led the Washington Field Office before he was elevated to the bureau’s No. 2 post in 2016. Through an FBI spokesman, he declined to comment. Fisher and Garcia are both alumni of the George W. Bush administration. Garcia served as assistant secretary for Immigration and Customs Enforcement and as the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, where he led the investigation into a prostitution ring that ultimately forced New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer to resign. Fisher served as an assistant U.S. attorney general, and, if selected, would be the first woman to run the FBI. Efforts to reach both of them Friday night were unsuccessful. Paul Kane contributed to this report. |||||

Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati (Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati; Bengali: bhktisiddhaant srsbtii; Bengali: [bhoktisiddhanto SoroSboti] ( listen); 6 February 1874 - 1 January 1937), born Bimala Prasad Datta (Bimala Prasad Datta, Bengali: [bimola proSad dotto]), also referred to as Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura, was a prominent guru and spiritual reformer of Gaudiya Vaishnavism in the early 20th century in India. Bimala Prasad was born in 1874 in Puri (Orissa) a son of Kedarnath Datta Bhaktivinoda Thakur, a recognised Bengali Gaudiya Vaishnava philosopher and teacher. Bimala Prasad received both Western and traditional Indian education and gradually established himself as a leading intellectual among the bhadralok (Western-educated and often Hindu Bengali residents of colonial Calcutta), earning the title Siddhanta Sarasvati ("the pinnacle of wisdom"). Under the direction of his father and spiritual preceptor, Bimala Prasad took initiation (diksha) into Gaudiya Vaishnavism from the Vaishnava ascetic Gaurakishora Dasa Babaji, receiving the name Shri Varshabhanavi-devi-dayita Dasa (Sri Varsabhanavi-devi-dayita Dasa, "servant of Krishna, the beloved of Radha"), and dedicated himself to arduous ascetic discipline, recitation of the Hare Krishna mantra on beads (japa), and study of classical Vaishnava literature. The encounter with and initiation from Gaurakishora Dasa Babaji, an illiterate yet highly respected personality, had a transformational effect on Siddhanta Sarasvati. Later, reflecting on his first meeting with the guru, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati recalled: It was by providential dispensation that I was able fully to understand the language and practical side of devotion after I had met the practicing master [Gaura Kishora Das Babaji]....No education could have prepared me for the good fortune of understanding my master's attitude....Before I met him my impression was that the writings of the devotional school could not be fully realised in a practical life in this world. My study of my master, and then the study of the books, along with the explanations by Thakura Bhaktivinoda [Bhaktisiddhanta's father Kedarnatha Datta], gave me ample facility to advance toward true spiritual life. Before I met my master, I had not written anything about real religion. Up to that time, my idea of religion was confined to books and to a strict ethical life, but that sort of life was found imperfect unless I came in touch with the practical side of things. After receiving initiation, Siddhanta Sarasvati went on a pilgrimage of India's holy places. He first stayed for a year in Jagannath Puri, and in 1904 travelled to South India, where he explored various branches of Hinduism, in particular the ancient and vibrant Vaishnava Shri and Madhva sampradayas, collecting materials for a new Vaishnava encyclopaedia. He finally settled in Mayapur 130 km north of Calcutta, where Bhaktivinoda had acquired a plot of land at the place at which, according to his research, Chaitanya Mahaprabhu was born in 1486. At that time, Bhaktivinoda added the prefix "bhakti" (meaning "devotion") to Siddhanta Sarasvati, acknowledging his proficiency in Vaishnava studies. Starting from 1905, Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati began to deliver public discourses on the philosophy and practice of Chaitanya Vaishnavism, gathering a following of educated young Bengalis, some of whom became his students. While assisting Bhaktivinoda in his developing project in Mayapur, Bhaktisiddhanta vowed to recite one billion names of Radha (Hara) and Krishna - which took nearly ten years to complete - thus committing himself to the lifelong practice of meditation on the Hare Krishna mantra taught to him first by his father and then by his guru. The aural meditation on Krishna's names done either individually (japa) or collectively (kirtana) became a pivotal theme in Bhaktisiddhanta's teachings and personal practice.

American Airlines Flight 11: FAA Awareness. Although the Boston Center air traffic controller realized at an early stage that there was something wrong with American 11, he did not immediately interpret the plane's failure to respond as a sign that it had been hijacked. At 8:14, when the flight failed to heed his instruction to climb to 35,000 feet, the controller repeatedly tried to raise the flight. He reached out to the pilot on the emergency frequency. Though there was no response, he kept trying to contact the aircraft. At 8:21, American 11 turned off its transponder, immediately degrading the information available about the aircraft. The controller told his supervisor that he thought something was seriously wrong with the plane, although neither suspected a hijacking. The supervisor instructed the controller to follow standard procedures for handling a "no radio" aircraft. The controller checked to see if American Airlines could establish communication with American 11. He became even more concerned as its route changed, moving into another sector's airspace. Controllers immediately began to move aircraft out of its path, and asked other aircraft in the vicinity to look for American 11. At 8:24:38, the following transmission came from American 11: American 11: We have some planes. Just stay quiet, and you'll be okay. We are returning to the airport. The controller only heard something unintelligible; he did not hear the specific words "we have some planes." The next transmission came seconds later: American 11: Nobody move. Everything will be okay. If you try to make any moves, you'll endanger yourself and the airplane. Question: "What did the supervisor tell the controller to do when the controller told the supervisor something seriously was wrong?"

By. Mark Prigg. Anyone who has ventured into the blocky virtual world of Minecraft quickly realises the size of the massively popular online game. But for one user, finding out exactly how big it is has become an obsession. Kurt Mac hopes to reach the edge of the game, a murky area only referred to by the game's creator as 'the Far Lands' - even though he expects it to take 25 years. Scroll down for video. Journey to the end of the world: One of the furthest points in Minecraft reached by Kurt Mac. He hopes to reach the edge of the game, a murky area only referred to by the game's creator as 'the Far Lands' - even though he expects it to take 25 years. Available on everything from smartphones to games consoles, Minecraft is a virtual world made up of square blocks of various materials. Players can break down and build structures through farming and mining. Each game generates a brand new world populated with a unique configuration of trees, plains and mountains, making it ideal for exploring. The world continues to automatically generate as the player moves further away from its centre - although its creators have warned of the Far Lands, where the game's code may begin to break down. Mac began his quest three years ago, in March 2011. He loaded up a new game, chose a direction and started walking - and has covered over 700km since. His aim if to get to and area of the game Minecraft creator Markus Persson has called the 'Far Lands,' so far from the center of the world that the game can no longer support the size of the world. Recently, he turned the quest into a walk-a-thon for Child's Play Charity, and has so far raised over $160,000. 'I began my YouTube series as a standard Minecraft Let's Play, where I built a settlement, searched for resources and explored the area around my spawn point,' he said. 'After a while I grew impatient and in the 11th episode of the series decided to pack some essential supplies and head West with the goal of reaching these mysterious Far Lands. Another shot of the journey so far, revealing snowy peaks. A map of the journey so far, showing each rest stop as a block - so far over 700km has been covered. 'I vowed to make my attempt for the Far Lands without the aid of any mods or cheats, and I have also decided to utilize the popularity of my expedition and turn it into a fundraiser for the Child's Play charity!' One of the biggest snags to hit the virtual expedition was when Micrcrafts creators removed the Far Lands. 'Unfortunately, the Far Lands were removed from the game when the new terrain generation code was released in an update on September 12th, 2011,' he admitted. However, he vowed not to upgrade. 'Fear not, fellow Farlanders! I will continue the expedition in Minecraft Beta 1.7.3 for as long as I must!' So far the Minecraft world has remained stable - but there are fears it could develop bugs as the game's limits approach. On his journey, Mac is armed with a sword and a pickaxe, and is accompanied by his trusted companion Wolfie, a tamed wolf he found in the game. He narrates each episode of his series. The series transformed into a sort of podcast, where the topics I talk about might have little to do with the journey itself,' he told the New Yorker. 'Of course, it is always exciting when Minecraft re-grabs my attention with a perilous cliff, a zombie attack, or a memorable landscape, and I remember the journey I’m on.' Here is a summary of the highlights for this article:

Kurt Mac has already travelled 700 virtual km in the game. Estimates it will take him 22 years to complete his journey. Hopes to reach the 'far worlds' - an area where the game begins to break down.
