Question: 13 etiquette rules you probably never realized you're breaking

When it comes to business etiquette, a common mistake comes about when we introduce others, according to Eric Herdman, a specialist in productivity and etiquette.
Here's the proper way to make introductions:
Say the person's first name (or Doctor, if such a designation is used) and introduce from highest (most senior rank) to lowest rank.
Example: President Smith, this is Vice-President Johnson.
Example: This is Dr. Jones, his associate Dr. Paul and their assistant John.

Let’s just get this out of the way: I've been married for 13-plus years and don't have kids. My husband and I don't want them, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Before you judge us, or say, "There's still time to change your minds," there are a few things I want you to know about my child-free marriage.
1. I never know how to answer your question.
When people ask me why I don’t have children, I never know how to answer that question without offending someone. I wind up saying things like, "Oh, you never know," or smile and shrug and say "We'll see" — all just to appease people. I really should say, "Mind your own business, please." No matter what comes out of my mouth, there's always a reaction that feels like I'm upsetting someone.
The thing is, we’re happy and we’ve not wanted for more in our life. Unfortunately, society feels differently and while it’s enough for us — it’s not for some people.
13 years of marriage and we're still smiling. / Anne Roderique-Jones
2. We don’t hate kids.
In fact, we both really like kids. I feel myself constantly defending the decision by overcompensating my adoration for children (way more than my husband). There have been a few — mostly older — women who think that because we’ve chosen not to have kids, it means we don’t like them. Sure, I don’t love a screaming baby in a restaurant, but I think little ones are adorable, fascinatingly smart, silly, funny and just overall great human beings.
Whether you’re asking a single person, married couple or family with one child — it’s likely best to wait for personal information to be offered instead of prying. Whether you’re asking a single person, married couple or family with one child — it’s likely best to wait for personal information to be offered instead of prying.
3. We’ve thought about having children.
As two very analytical people, we’ve certainly had the “kid” conversation. After all, we’ve been married for over 13 years and have felt an overwhelming amount of love for our niece and nephew.
Like any subject in marriage, we check in to make sure we’re still on the same page with each other, but are very content as a duo.
4. I just can’t have it all.
As much as I’d love to pretend that I could easily do the mom, work, wife, travel and friend thing — I don’t think it’s possible for me. The list of big life things that I do have and am trying to balance makes me very happy — and for that I’m incredibly grateful. As women, we’re expected to take on so much, and I know that something we love would have to give if we became parents.
5. We are a family.
I was having a perfectly fun time at a friend’s wedding when a woman said, “Don’t you want a family?” This really hurt my feelings, but I was too dumbstruck to reply. I have a family with my mother and brothers and grandmother and aunts and cousins. My friends are like family, but most importantly, the life I’ve built with my husband and the happy marriage (along with our sweet animals) feels like a family to us.
Though our lives aren't as glamorous as they seem to outsiders, we love to travel. Here we are at the Taj Mahal. Anne Roderique-Jones
6. I don't understand why people question us so frequently.
I am constantly amazed at how often people ask if we’re having children — or have made comments about infertility. Frankly, I’m curious why people care.
We’ve not had to deal with the overwhelming struggle of infertility, but so many of our friends have, and when you ask someone about their family planning, it can be heartbreaking. Whether you’re asking a single person, married couple or family with one child — it’s likely best to wait for personal information to be offered instead of prying.
7. I have so much respect for parents.
Child rearing seems so hard. Your job is so much harder than what I do. I was eight when my youngest brother was born and I helped to raise him. I’ve babysat my own siblings and taken care of my parents. I was also a nanny. WHEW. Your job is so tough, and while I’m sure you get highs that I’ll never know, I respect how much work it takes to be a parent.
Yes, we travel and go to a lot of movies and do whatever it is people who don’t have children do. Our Paris photos are your child’s first-day-of-school pics — and I think that should be OK. Yes, we travel and go to a lot of movies and do whatever it is people who don’t have children do. Our Paris photos are your child’s first-day-of-school pics — and I think that should be OK.
8. You won't be able to talk us into it, so please stop trying.
I have parent friends and family who understand our choice not to have children, but we’ve also had just as many try to talk us into it. From telling us, “You’d be such good parents!” to “You’ll never love anyone like your own child.”
I know people mean well, but I’d never try to talk someone into not having children. I think there’s room for us to each be happy in our own decisions. Plus, you’ll always have someone to babysit.
9. It’s not us against you.
I’m frustrated by the parent vs. non-parent dialogue that’s created by society, and many of us continue to foster. I’m not going to pretend that parenting doesn’t set you apart from a non-parent — you’ve birthed a child and I’ve not. But there’s plenty we can offer each other — from career advice to grief support to lifelong friendships — that celebrates our differences and lifts each other up.
10. Our lives aren’t perfect.
Yes, we travel and go to a lot of movies and do whatever it is people who don’t have children do. Our Paris photos are your child’s first-day-of-school pics — and I think that should be OK. But in everyday life, there are fewer Instagrammable moments for all of us, right? My freelance writing career resembles something closer to a hot mess of PJs and unshaven legs than Carrie Bradshaw, and we’ve been through plenty of life lows. I won’t pretend that being child-free is the ideal life — it’s just ideal for us.
11. We're happy.
Finally, as I mentioned earlier, my husband and I are h-a-p-p-y. Our child-free marriage does not feel as if it's lacking — we are full of love, excitement, challenges and we look forward to the future — even if babies aren't a part of it.

Question: Clinton says she would like to run Facebook

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Hillary Clinton didn't win the presidency in 2016, so is there another job she would like to have? The former Democratic Party nominee considered the question Friday at Harvard University and said she would like to run Facebook.
During an event at which she received the prestigious Radcliffe Medal for “transformative impact on society,” Clinton was asked which company she would like to lead as CEO.
Without any hesitation, Clinton named Facebook, noting that the social media giant has vast power and controls the flow of information.
“It’s the biggest news platform in the world … but most people in our country get their news, true or not, from Facebook,” she said.
The response drew mixed reactions on social media, though the attempt to put her name on the table may not be so out of the ordinary. Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg openly endorsed Clinton’s candidacy while a co-founder of the social media giant, Dustin Moskovitz, led a nearly $30 million effort to defeat now-President Donald Trump.
Other Facebook employees contributed more money to Clinton's campaign -- some $114,000 -- than to those of any other candidate, according to Federal Election Commission data that takes into account only donations over $200, the Hill reported.
But the former U.S. secretary of state’s openness to run Facebook came at the time when the tech company is coping with a number of scandals, including alleged misuse of user data that allowed political campaigns, including possibly Clinton’s, to target potential voters after acquiring the data of millions of people.
Just this week, Facebook was accused of deceptive tactics to pressure people to accept its privacy policy. According to a complaint filed by the European Center for Digital Rights on behalf of an anonymous individual, the platform blocked users who didn’t consent to the new privacy policies and used “tricks” – including fake message notifications – to pressure them into agreeing with the policies.
“[Facebook] used additional ‘tricks’ to pressure the users: For example, the consent page included two fake red dots … that indicated that the user has new messages and notifications, which he/she cannot access without consenting — even if the user did not have such notifications or messages in reality,” the complaint reads, according to Australia's News.co.au.
CLINTON CAMPAIGN APP MAY HAVE HARVESTED FACEBOOK DATA OF MILLIONS
But similar to Cambridge Analytica, the company that was forced to shut down amid the data misuse scandal, the Clinton campaign itself may have harvested the data of potentially millions of users to get an edge over Trump.
In the midst of the election, Clinton's campaign launched a mobile application called “Hillary 2016” that allowed every user to pair their friends list on Facebook with their phone contacts – and give the campaign permission to access that info.
People who didn’t download the application - or weren’t even Clinton supporters – weren’t given an option to prohibit their Facebook friends from pairing their phone numbers with Facebook accounts and indicate their likelihood of voting for the Democratic candidate.

On 'America's Newsroom,' Republican congressman from New York says President Trump would make a serious mistake getting rid of Mueller.

Question: Russian journalist reported killed in Ukraine shows up alive

By NATALIYA VASILYEVA
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — Russian journalist Arkady Babchenko turned up at a news conference in the Ukrainian capital Wednesday less than 24 hours after police reported he had been shot and killed at his Kiev apartment building. The country’s security services said Babchenko’s death was faked to foil a plot to take his life.
Ukrainian police said Tuesday that Babchenko, a strong critic of the Kremlin, was shot multiple times in the back Tuesday and found bleeding there by his wife. Authorities said they suspected he was killed because of his work.
Vasyl Gritsak, head of the Ukrainian Security Service, announced at a news conference Wednesday that the security agency and the police had solved Babchenko’s slaying. He then startled everyone there by inviting the 41-year-old reporter into the room.
To the applause and gasps of the press, Babchenko took the floor and apologized to the friends and family who mourned for him and were unaware of the plan.
“I’m still alive,” he said.
Before ushering Babchenko into the room, Gritsak said investigators had identified a Ukrainian citizen who had been recruited and paid $40,000 by the Russian security service to organize and carry out the killing. The unidentified Ukrainian man in turn hired an acquaintance who had fought in the separatist war in eastern Ukraine as the gunman.
Babchenko, one of Russia’s best-known war reporters, fled the country in February 2017 after receiving death threats. He spoke and wrote about leaving the country because of the threats against him and his family.. He said his home address was published online and the threats he received were made by phone, email and social media.
Ilya Ponomarev, a former Russian lawmaker who also moved to Ukraine, said Wednesday that Babchenko continued being threatened after he settled last fall in Kiev, where he worked as a host for the Crimean Tatar TV station. Babchenko did not take the intimidation too seriously, according to Ponomarev.
Moscow’s annexation of Crimea and support for separatist insurgents in eastern Ukraine were topics on which the journalist was scathingly critical of the Kremlin.

A video posted on Facebook hours after the New Year's attack that killed 39 people in Istanbul shows people celebrating and counting down to midnight at the popular Reina nightclub.
The video was posted by Ukrainian national Natalia Volnova, who said in her post that not all of her friends had survived the attack, which was claimed by the Islamic State group today.
In her Facebook post, Volnova thanked the policemen who pulled her out from under a table where she was hiding and covered her, as well as a fellow Ukrainian woman who returned a jacket she lost in the chaos.
She also said in the post that she saw the attacker run close to her, but had not been shot herself.

Question: Cops bring suicidal man to get help, then beat the crap out of him, FBI says

After attempting suicide in March, a Paterson man called local authorities in search of help.
But what he received when he arrived at the hospital, federal authorities say, were brutal assaults at the hands of two city police officers who injured the man so badly he required surgery for one of his eyes.
After the victim insulted the two officers as he lay in his hospital bed, one of the officers pulled on medical gloves and began to strike the man in the face, according to the FBI.
As his partner hit the cowering man -- warning him: "I ain't (expletive) playing with you" -- Officer Roger Then recorded video of himself smiling into the camera of his cellphone.
Investigators allege the officers never mentioned the attacks in their official report, and concealed the cellphone video from other investigators.
Federal law enforcement finally caught up with Then on Wednesday, when the U.S. Attorney's Office says agents arrested the 29-year-old Paterson resident on a criminal complaint accusing him of conspiring to violate the man's civil rights and deliberately concealing the assault -- charges that could see him spend up to 10 years in federal prison if convicted.
Among the evidence cited by an FBI agent in the five-page complaint are the cellphone video in question and surveillance footage from the waiting area of the hospital's emergency room.
In the surveillance room video, the investigator wrote, Officer Then can be seen pushing the patient to the ground after the other officer -- who is not identified in the complaint -- punches the man as he sits in a wheelchair.
In their final report, investigators allege, the two officers wrote only that the victim, who they said had a history of psychiatric issues, "was restrained by officers and security staff" after he became combative and began to throw medical glove boxes at hospital staff.
Authorities have not detailed what led investigators to ultimately charge Then, whose arrest stemmed from a probe by the FBI, Passaic County Prosecutor's Office and the Paterson Police Department.
The U.S. Attorney's Office says Then is expected to make an initial appearance before a federal magistrate in Newark on Wednesday afternoon.
It's unclear whether the officer has retained an attorney who could comment on the charges against him.

6 Outrages in 10 Days
The following is just a sample of what happens in AmeriKKKa all the time—revealing something deeper and built-into the system we live under.
1. April 3: University of Chicago Police shoot student and charge HIM with assault
21-year-old Charles Thomas, who is Black and Asian, was walking in an alley off-campus with a metal rod and had allegedly smashed some windows with it. He was clearly having a mental health crisis and needed help. University of Chicago Police drove up on him, saying he was “a mental.” One cop jumped out, yelling “drop the weapon” and “don’t come at me.” When Charles ran toward the pig, yelling at him, the pig shot.
Thomas, survived the shooting, but has been chained to his hospital bed with a broken shoulder and collapsed lung, and HE is being charged with multiple felonies.
The president of the university has justified this shooting as being a part of “protocol”—in other words, the university has a protocol of the police shooting at people suffering from a mental breakdown.
2. April 5: Lakeith Smith sentenced to 30 years for death of his friend killed by Police
In 2015, the police stopped four Black youth, accusing them of breaking into some homes in Millbrook, Alabama. There was some kind of altercation and 16-year-old A’Donte Washington was shot four times and killed by the police.
Now someone has been sentenced to 30 years for this murder. But it’s not the cop who actually killed A’Donte—a grand jury cleared him of any wrongdoing in 2016, saying it was “justifiable homicide.” The person found guilty of A’Donte’s murder is Lakeith Smith, A’Donte’s friend.
Lakeith Smith, one of the four youth stopped by the cops, was only 16-years-old, but was tried as an adult. He was convicted and sentenced to 35 years for felony burglary and theft. This is outrageous by itself. Smith, who is now 18 is being sent behind bars until he is 53-years-old for breaking into some homes. But there is outrage upon outrage here.
No one disputes the fact that a cop killed A’Donte. But the state’s accomplice law means someone can be guilty of murder if a death occurs when they are in the midst of committing a felony—even if they didn’t commit the murder. This means that even though Smith was not even accused of having a weapon he was found guilty of murdering his friend—who in fact was killed by a cop! And for this he has been given a 30 years sentence to be served consecutively—which means he is being sent to prison for a total of 65 years, until he is 83 years old, basically a life sentence.
3. April 5: Police kill Black man in Walmart parking lot in Barstow, CA
26-year-old Diante “Butchie” Yarber, a Black man and a father of three driving a Ford Mustang, in a Walmart parking lot in Barstow, CA. Cops showed up responding to a call about a “suspicious vehicle,” then opened fire on the car, killing Yarber.
The pigs say they had to use deadly force because Yarber accelerated towards them. But family members and attorneys say a video shows the Mustang moving slowly as the pigs fired into the car. S. Lee Merrit, a civil rights attorney representing the Yarber family said, “They don’t have a justification for stopping this car. They saw a car full of black people in front of a Walmart and that was suspicious. I don’t believe I have seen a more brutal shooting. They just began pouring bullets into the car in broad daylight. The car was barely rolling backward. You can walk faster than that.”
Merritt said police fired more than 30 rifle rounds into the car and that Yarber was struck about two dozen times. A female passenger, who was hit in the stomach and leg, was put in a squad car as though she were a suspect before she was eventually given medical attention.
4. April 12:Two Black men arrested in Starbuck for ‘not ordering anything”
Two 23-year-old Black men, Rashon Nelson and Donte Robinson were sitting in a Starbucks in Philadelphia Starbucks, waiting for a third person to show up for a business meeting. Nelson had asked to use the restroom and been told he couldn’t because it was for “customers only.” Nelson and Robinson had only been in Starbucks for two minutes when a manager called 911 because the men hadn’t ordered anything. Then only minutes later, cops showed up and demanded that the two men leave. When they didn’t they were arrested. They were put in double lock handcuffs, were not read their rights and were not told why they were being arrested for “suspicion of trespassing.”
Nelson told reporters he was worried that things might spin out of control—that he might possibly end up dead: “Anytime I’m encountered by cops, I can honestly say it’s a thought that runs through my mind. You never know what’s going to happen.”
Nelson and Robinson spent several hours in custody before being released—after Starbucks declined to press charges.
5. April 12: White racist shoots Black youth asking for directions
14-year-old Brennan Walker, woke up late and missed his bus to Rochester High School, in a suburb of Detroit. He started walking to school but when he got lost he knocked on a door to get directions. Brennan said, “I got to the house, and I knocked on the lady’s door. Then she started yelling at me and she was like, ‘Why are you trying to break into my house?’ I was trying to explain to her that I was trying to get directions to Rochester High. And she kept yelling at me. Then the guy came downstairs, and he grabbed the gun, I saw it and started to run. And that’s when I heard the gunshot.” [FOX 2 Detroit]
The racist shooter, 53-year-old Jeffrey Zeigler, fired a single shot with a 12-gauge shotgun. Brennan wasn’t hit, kept running and hid. Sherriff deputies showed up—responding to a call that a male was trying to break into a house. Zeigler was arrested and charged with “assault with intent to murder; and “felony firearms” and is now out on bond.
Brennan’s mother, Lisa Wright, says this was “definitely a hate crime.” She watched the recording captured by the homes’ doorbell monitor and said, “After watching the video and hearing the wife say ‘Why did these people choose my house?’ I knew it was racially motivated. I don’t know what other ‘these people’ she could possibly have been talking about. He was by himself…. We should not have to live in a society where we have to fend for ourselves. If I have a question, I should be able to turn to my village and knock on a door and ask a question. I shouldn’t be fearful of a child, let alone a skin tone.” Wright says, “It definitely was a hate crime.”
Rochester Hills is only about 25 miles from another Detroit suburb, Dearborn Heights, where in 2013, white homeowner Ted Wafer shot and killed 19-year-old Renisha McBride, a black woman, when she pounded on his door, asking for help after crashing her car in the middle of the night.
6. April 13: Cambridge pigs beat Black Harvard student
21-year-old Selorm Ohene, a Black Harvard student, born in Ghana, was standing in the street naked, mentally disoriented. He clearly needed help. But instead he was brutalized by the cops. The pigs surrounded him and then one of them dove forward and tackled Ohene, forcing him to the ground. Then at least one cop gets on top of Ohene, punching him five times in the stomach. In a phone video, you can hear Ohene crying and screaming out for help. Police shackled Ohene’s ankles before putting him in an ambulance. Ohene was charged exposure, disorderly conduct, assault, resisting arrest, and assault and battery on ambulance personnel, for allegedly spitting out blood on an EMT.
The Cambridge police commissioner is completely defending the actions of these cops—from the same pig department that in 2009, arrested Henry Louis Gates Jr., a Black professor at Harvard, who was trying to open the front door of his house.
A Facebook post by a member of the Black Law Students Association at Harvard said, “On Friday night, several BLSA members and I were walking along Mass Ave. next to Harvard Law School when we witnessed a horrifying incident of police brutality. One officer tackled him, one officer punched him, but four piled on top of him. His face was covered in blood when the police finally stood him up to put him in an ambulance. I took a photo of the pool of blood left where his head had been pressed into the concrete.”

Question: Why am I not losing weight?

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

(CNN) Weight loss is still incredibly challenging for most people, as evidenced by the growing global obesity epidemic.
According to the latest Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics , more than two in three US adults are considered overweight (defined as a body-mass index between 25 and 30), and 36.5% of US adults fall into the obese category (BMI greater than 30).
Many people also want to lose weight. According to arecent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association, approximately half of overweight and obese adults report that they are trying to lose weight. Which is why my patients often ask, "Why aren't I losing weight?"
There is no simple, universal answer to this question, but after nearly two decades of working with patients trying to lose weight, and with the help of two leaders in the field of nutrition and obesity medicine, I've put together this list of some of the most common behavioral and medical reasons you might not be losing weight, even though you think you are doing everything right. I've also tried to include suggestions to get you on the right track to sustained weight loss.
You have calorie 'amnesia'
This is one of the most common and easy-to-fix issues that I see in my practice: Put simply, people often eat more calories than they realize.
Total calories consumed matters when it comes to weight loss, despite what some popular diets claim. People frequently forget about the little things during or between meals that add up calorically and can interfere significantly with weight loss.
The fix: Keep a food journal or track your food intake with an app. Research shows that this simple behavior can double weight loss, and it often helps my patients break through frustrating weight loss plateaus.
You relax your diet too much on weekends
This is another very common issue that is a bit more challenging to fix, as weekends are generally much less structured and more social than weekdays. Three days (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) of more relaxed eating (and in many cases drinking) can easily erase four days of more focused effort.
I don't expect you to be perfect seven days a week, but the majority of successful weight loss maintainers from the National Weight Control Registry (an ongoing study tracking people who have lost at least 30 pounds and kept the weight off for at least a year) maintain a fairly consistent diet throughout the entire week, not just on weekdays.
The fix: Try to limit indulgences if you are trying to lose weight. One night, have a glass of wine or a more indulgent entrée but not both. On another night, split a dessert, skip the wine, and try to choose a healthier entrée. Be careful with having an entire "cheat" meal -- or worse, "cheat" day -- as this can really interfere with weight loss.
Your medication is working against you
Most physicians do not receive adequate training in obesity medicine and nutrition. Many may not be aware that the medications they prescribe may lead to weight gain or make weight loss more challenging.
According to Dr. Caroline Apovian, president of the Obesity Society, frequently prescribed medications that may cause weight gain include Benadryl, Ambien, benzodiazepines, older antidepressant and antipsychotic medications, Paxil, beta-blockers (for high blood pressure), several diabetes medications including insulin, sulfonylureas and thialidazones, and some contraceptive methods, especially Depo-Provera.
The fix: If you are taking any of these medications, talk to your doctor to see whether there is a suitable alternative. (Do not stop any prescribed medication without speaking to your doctor first.) There is a full list of medications that may cause weight gain If you are taking any of these medications, talk to your doctor to see whether there is a suitable alternative. (Do not stop any prescribed medication without speaking to your doctor first.) There is a full list of medications that may cause weight gain available online
You eat too much of a good thing
It is true that recommendations concerning dietary fat have changed in the past decade, and nutrition science has found that unsaturated fat, including nuts, seeds, avocado and olive oil, plays an important role in a healthy diet.
However, you can easily eat too much healthy fat along with other healthy foods, including whole grains.
Fat has more than double the calories of carbohydrates or protein, so fat calories, even if they are healthy, add up more quickly. Whole grains have three times the number of carbohydrates as non-starchy vegetables per serving, so again, portion size matters.
The fix: Practice portion control when it comes to healthy but more calorie-dense foods such as nuts, peanut butter, seeds, avocado, olive oil and whole grains including quinoa, whole-grain cereal and pasta, and brown rice.
Your body is resistant to insulin
This is an issue I often encounter with patients and one that my colleague Dr. Michael Rothkopf, president of the National Board of Physician Nutrition Specialists, confirms is an often overlooked reason for weight loss failure.
It may also require specialized testing to uncover. According to the CDC, approximately 30% of adults and nearly 70% of overweight adults have metabolic syndrome , a constellation of abnormalities strongly associated with insulin resistance and excess insulin production.
Follow CNN Health on Facebook and Twitter See the latest news and share your comments with CNN Health on Facebook and Twitter.
Insulin suppresses the release of stored fat and promotes the formation of fat from sugar. The metabolism of a person who has insulin resistance or insulin excess will be shifted away from fat loss and toward fat storage.
The fix: If you are a woman and your waist circumference is more than 35 inches or you're a man with a waist size greater than 40 inches, talk to your doctor about checking for insulin resistance. If you have it, there may be dietary modifications and medications that could help you lose weight.
There are other potential reasons why the scale may not be budging: short sleep duration, excess sedentary behavior, overeating after workouts, stress eating and eating a highly inflammatory diet filled with processed food and inadequate fruits and vegetables. But the above list should get you started figuring out how to get the scale moving in the right direction.

Now, knowing how to eat healthy doesn't seem quite as straightforward. Especially when there's a new catchy diet every week.

"['this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title!', 'Brett Winingham of Highlands Ranch said he usually isn’t a runner — but Saturday morning he was — and it was to honor Zackari Parrish, the Douglas County Sheriff’s deputy who was shot dead New Years Eve while trying to reason with a gunman who later became his killer.\nTraffic was slow going on the clear and warm day in Castle Rock as thousands came out to show their support at the Zackari Parrish 5K run/walk which was scheduled to start at 9 a.m. at the Douglas County Event Center. The immense turnout of more than 3,000 walkers, joggers, and runners forced organizers to push the start back to 9:30 a.m., giving people more time to arrive.\n“I’m sad for the reason were here,” Winingham said while walking briskly in the race. “But, happy we’re here.”\nHis widow, Gracie Parrish spoke at the event.\n“You have loved us so well, Denver,” she told the crowd. “Supporting me and loving me so well. I want you to run your hearts out.”\nChildren, men, and women — mostly clothed in black and blue — chit-chatted to one another before they took off in the race, taking pictures and recording videos.\nA large chunk of the commemoration involved people who have, or have had friends and loved ones involved in law enforcement.\n“My dad was a police officer when I was a baby,” said Julie Heiman of Parker. “He was shot but he lived. It’s just sad taking a person’s life when they’re trying to protect the community and keep people safe.”\nSamantha Konig of Thornton came out with her friend to run for Parrish but also for her boyfriend — Andrew Fitch — who’s an officer with the Broomfield Police Department. She said the whole situation is difficult.\n“I know it happens everywhere across the country,” she said, dressed in black and blue. “But especially when it’s close to home.”\nParrish was remembered by people from many walks of life in the community Saturday morning, including a miniature horse, Blue, who showed his support at the event with his owner Ashley Leary, a criminal investigator for the state of Colorado.\n“I had heard a lot of good things about him,” she said while petting Blue, who was draped in a blue fleece jacket with a badge patch sewn on it. “It just brings everyone together because it’s a tough deal. It definitely hit close to home when I heard it happened. It was a tough week.”\nOrganizers ensured everyone that they were not alone: They were now all a family who supported each other. They took a “family photo” of everyone before the racers took off, commemorating the moment in time dedicated to Zackari Parrish.\n“It’s for a good cause,” Matt St. Martin said while bringing up the rear of the race. “The whole is bigger than the sum of its parts.”\nPeople who knew Parrish described him as courageous and bold, with a zest for life who used humor to de-escalate tense situations.\nHis life was cut short at 29 by Matthew Riehl, a mentally unstable man who barricaded himself inside his apartment on the final day of 2017. The killing took place at Copper Canyon Apartments in Highlands Ranch, where Parrish was attempting to negotiate with Riehl before he open fired, killing Parrish and wounding six other officers.\nZackari Parrish is survived by his wife and two daughters. He had been working as a Douglas County sheriff’s deputy for seven months. He previously worked for more than two years as a Castle Rock Police officer.\nAt the end of the race a check for $80,000 was presented, funded by the races registration fees. Half of the money will go to the Parrish family. The other half will go to the families of the six other officers who were injured alongside Parrish.']" == "['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it', 'Thousands hit streets for 5K in memory of fallen Douglas County deputy Zackari Parrish']"

Question: India successfully test fires Agni-4 ballistic missile

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title

Describing the trial as successful, DRDO said this was the 6th trial of the indigenously developed Agni-IV missile
Balasore (Odisha): India on Monday successfully test-fired its nuclear-capable strategic ballistic missile Agni-IV with a strike range of 4000 km as part of a user trial from a test range off Odisha coast.
Supported by a mobile launcher, the surface-to-surface missile was flight tested from launch complex-4 of the Integrated Test Range (ITR) at Dr Abdul Kalam Island, formerly known as Wheeler Island, at about 11.55 hours, Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) sources said.
Describing the trial as successful, they said this was the 6th trial of the indigenously developed Agni-IV missile which met the mission objectives. The last trial conducted by the specially formed strategic force command (SFC) of Indian Army on November 9, 2015 was also successful.
The sleek missile having 4000 km strike range is a two stage missile. It is 20 meter-long weighing 17 tonnes.
"The sophisticated surface-to-surface missile is equipped with modern and compact avionics to provide high level of reliability," DRDO sources said.
Agni-IV missile is equipped with state-of-the-art Avionics, 5th generation on board computer and distributed architecture. It has the latest features to correct and guide itself for in-flight disturbances.
The most accurate Ring Laser Gyro based Inertial Navigation System (RINS) and supported by highly reliable redundant Micro Navigation System (MINGS), ensures the vehicle reaches the target within two digit accuracy, they said.
The re-entry heat shield can withstand temperatures in the range of 4000 degree centigrade and makes sure the avionics function normally with inside temperature remaining less than 50 degree centigrade. Ballistic missiles like Agni-I, II and III and Prithvi are already in the arsenal of armed forces, giving India an effective deterrence capability.
Radars and electro-optical systems had been positioned along the coast of Odisha for tracking and monitoring all the parameters of the missile, the sources said, adding two Indian naval ships anchored near the target area to witness the final event.
The successful trial of Agni IV came close on the heels of a similar test on December 26, 2016 of long range missile Agni 5 which was successfully carried out from the same launch site.

New Delhi: Following the successful launch of the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle Mk-III (GSLV Mk-III), the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is slated to launch a kerosene-based semi-cryogenic engine, projected to be functional for flight tests by 2021.
The envisioned engine uses refined kerosene as a propellant, as opposed to the conventional combination of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen. However, liquid oxygen will still function as the oxidizer.
An eco-friendly alternative, kerosene can be used after storing at a normal temperature, while the previous liquid hydrogen had to be stored at (-)253 degree Celsius.
“The idea is to replace the second stage of the GSLV Mk-III, which now uses a liquid stage, with the semi-cryo. The rocket will retain the cryogenic upper, third stage. The advantage of inducing the semi-cryogenic stage is the payload capacity of the GSLV Mk-III will increase from four tons to six tons. The ability to launch higher payload is commercially enticing proposition as well and put India among a select few countries with that capability,” Group Captain Ajey Lele (Retd.), Senior Fellow at the Institute for Defence Studies and Analyses, New Delhi, told Sputnik.
Earlier on June 5, India launched the GSLV Mark III carrying the 3,136kg GSAT-19 communication satellite from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre in Sriharikota, Andhra Pradesh.

1. A self-driving Uber car hit and killed a woman in Tempe, Arizona while in autonomous mode. Uber suspended its entire self-driving car programme as a result.
2. The UK’s data regulator has a warrant to raid political research firm Cambridge Analytica and seize its servers, after Facebook suspended the firm for misusing user data. Facebook had already sent in its own investigators to Cambridge Analytica, but “stood down” after the Information Commissioner’s Office got involved.
3. Cambridge Analytica’s chief executive, Alexander Nix, was filmed by Channel 4 boasting that the research firm could entrap politicians with sex workers. Cambridge Analytica nonetheless denied using such tactics.

5. A Business Insider investigation has found it’s incredibly easy to buy illegal fake luxury goods on Facebook Marketplace, with few protections for buyers in place. We spoke to sellers who tried to obtain our bank details and phone numbers.
6. Amazon is tracking how many people return to its cashierless Go supermarket after an initial visit. Shopping frequency will probably help determine whether Amazon decides to expand the concept.
7. Secretive virtual reality startup Magic Leap has given a preview of its platform to third-party developers with a “creator portal” that offers resources for people who want to build apps for its yet-to-launch headset. The portal lets people preview apps in a simulator.
8. Facebook’s longtime and vocal head of security, Alex Stamos, may leave the company in August because he disagrees with how it handles big issues like fake news. Stamos merely commented on Twitter that “it’s true” his role at Facebook had now changed, but didn’t confirm or deny his departure.
9. Google is expanding its Instant Apps program to games, meaning Android users can find a game via the Play Store, click the “try now” button, and immediately start playing without downloading an app. The idea is to help people find more new games.
10. BlackBerry’s shares rose after the firm announced a partnership with Microsoft, providing security for Office apps. The firm’s share price was up 5% on Monday.

Question: Trump yields to pressure, calls neo-Nazis and KKK criminals

this news article should be represented to find a fitting news title.

By Scott Malone and Jeff Mason
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va./WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump denounced neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan as criminals and thugs on Monday, bowing to mounting political pressure to condemn such groups explicitly after a white-nationalist rally turned deadly in Virginia.
Trump had been assailed from across the political spectrum for failing to respond more forcefully to Saturday's violence in Charlottesville. The head of one of the world's biggest drug companies quit a presidential business panel as a result, saying he was taking a stand against intolerance and extremism, and the chief executive of a prominent sportswear company followed suit hours later.
Critics denounced Trump for waiting too long to address the bloodshed, and for initially faulting hatred and violence "on many sides," rather than singling out the white supremacists widely seen as instigating the melee.
Democrats said Trump's reaction belied a reluctance to alienate white nationalists and "alt-right" political activists who occupy a loyal segment of Trump's political base. Several senators from his own Republican Party had harsh words for him.
Some 48 hours into the biggest domestic challenge of his young presidency, Trump tried to correct course.
"Racism is evil, and those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans," the president said in a statement to reporters at the White House on Monday.
"We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence," he said.
A 20-year-old man said to have harbored Nazi sympathies was arrested on charges of plowing his car into protesters opposing the white nationalists, killing 32-year-old paralegal Heather Heyer and injuring 19 people. The accused, James Fields, was denied bail at a court hearing on Monday.
Several others were arrested in connection with street brawls during the day that left another 15 people injured. And two airborne state troopers involved in crowd control were killed when their helicopter crashed.
Saturday's disturbances erupted after white nationalists converged in Charlottesville, home of the University of Virginia's flagship campus, to protest plans for removing a statue of General Robert E. Lee, commander of the pro-slavery Confederate army of the U.S. Civil War.
Trump's belated denunciation of white supremacists by name was welcomed by Heyer's mother, Susan Bro, who thanked the president for what she called "those words of comfort and for denouncing those who promote violence and hatred."
But not everyone was mollified.
"I wish that he would have said those same words on Saturday," responded Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia on MSNBC. "I'm disappointed it took him a couple of days."
A group of community leaders meeting in Charlottesville likewise said they were unimpressed by Trump's latest message.
“Why did it take criticism from his Republican buddies to move him ... to adjust the moral compass that he does not possess?” said Don Gathers, who serves as chairman for the city’s commission on monuments and memorials.
Trump lashed out at his critics late on Monday on Twitter: "Made additional remarks on Charlottesville and realize once again that the #Fake News Media will never be satisfied...truly bad people!"
REBUKES FROM BUSINESS
Trump's revised statement on Charlottesville, following a day of silence despite a rising chorus of outrage over the violence, came after the chief executive of Merck & Co Inc delivered one of the more noteworthy rebukes of the president.
Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, who is black, resigned from Trump's American Manufacturing Council, saying expressions of hatred and bigotry must be rejected.
Trump quickly hit back on Twitter, but made no reference to Frazier's reasons for quitting the panel, instead revisiting a longstanding gripe about expensive medicines. Frazier would have more time to focus on lowering "ripoff" drug prices, Trump tweeted.
Frazier's resignation was followed hours later by another member of the business panel quitting in protest, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank. The AFL-CIO organized labor federation that represents 12.5 million workers said it, too, was considering pulling its representative from the committee.

A Charlottesville, Virginia rally to keep a Confederate statue and the counter-protest to take it down stunned the country after a car drove into a crowd of counter-protestors, killing Heather Heyer and wounding many others. The violence of the weekend led to counter-protests and vigils condemning racism and white nationalism in cities across the United States. See the reactions
Vice President Mike Pence said there is no tolerance for “white supremacists, neo-Nazis or the KKK,” following a white nationalist rally Saturday in Virginia that erupted in violence and left three people dead and multiple injured.

U.S. President Donald Trump denounced white supremacists including neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan on Monday, and said racism, hatred and bigotry had no place in America following a violent white-nationalist rally in Virginia.
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va./WASHINGTON: U.S. President Donald Trump denounced neo-Nazis and the Ku Klux Klan as criminals and thugs on Monday, bowing to mounting political pressure to condemn such groups explicitly after a white-nationalist rally turned deadly in Virginia.

A 20-year-old man said to have harboured Nazi sympathies was facing charges he ploughed his car into protesters opposing the white nationalists, killing 32-year-old Heather Heyer and injuring 19 people. The accused, James Fields, was denied bail at a court hearing on Monday.
Trump said anyone who engaged in criminal behaviour at the rally would face justice, the Republican president said.
"I wish that he would have said those same words on Saturday," responded Democratic Senator Mark Warner of Virginia on MSNBC. "I'm disappointed it took him a couple of days."
As the chorus of outrage over Virginia grew louder on Sunday, Trump stayed silent on the matter while at his golf course in Bedminster, New Jersey.
Early Monday, he took to Twitter - his preferred method of communication - to attack Democrats over trade deals and to endorse a political candidate in Alabama, but said nothing about white supremacists.
In a strong rebuke to Trump early on Monday, the black chief executive of Merck & Co Inc , Kenneth Frazier, resigned from a business panel led by the president, saying expressions of hatred and bigotry must be rejected.
Trump quickly hit back on Twitter, but made no reference to Frazier's reasons for quitting the panel, instead revisiting a longstanding gripe about expensive medicines. Frazier would now have more time to focus on lowering "ripoff" drug prices, Trump tweeted.
GLOBAL REACTION
The jarring images of violence from Charlottesville and the heated public debate over racism resonated around the world, particularly in Europe where leaders are contending with a wave of xenophobia.
German Chancellor told local broadcaster Phoenix on Monday that clear and forceful action must be taken to counter right-wing extremism, and that "we have quite a lot to do at home ourselves."
About 130 people demonstrated outside the U.S. Embassy in London, some with placards reading "Facsism is not to be debated, it is to be smashed," and "I am an ashamed American."
The United Nations said there must be no place in today's societies for the violent racism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and discrimination on display in Charlottesville.
Protests were planned for Monday evening outside the White House and Trump Tower in New York, where Trump is expected to travel later on Monday.
Saturday's disturbances broke out after white nationalists converged to protest at plans to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee. Such monuments are viewed today by many Americans as symbols of racism, because of the Confederate defence of slavery during the Civil War.
Asked on Monday whether one side was more responsible for the violence than another, Charlottesville police chief Al Thomas said: "This was an alt-right rally," - using the term to describe a loose grouping that rejects mainstream politics and includes neo-Nazis, white supremacists and anti-Semites.
In assailing Trump for his earlier comments on the violence, critics noted that right-wing extremists have been a loyal segment of his political base. The anger over his initial response added to a litany of problems for the president.
Opponents have attacked his inflammatory rhetoric toward North Korea and he is fuming with fellow Republicans in Congress over their failure to notch up any major legislative wins during his first six months in office.
The mother of the woman killed on Saturday welcomed Trump's latest comments. In a statement cited by NBC News, Susan Bro thanked him for what she called "those words of comfort and for denouncing those who promote violence and hatred."
Authorities said Heyer, 32, died after Fields' car slammed into a crowd of anti-racism activists.
Fields appeared in a Charlottesville court on Monday by video link from the jail where he is being held on a second-degree murder charge, three counts of malicious wounding and a single count of leaving the scene of a fatal accident. His next court date was set for Aug. 25.
Several students who attended high school with Fields in Kentucky described him as an angry young man who passionately espoused white supremacist ideology.
The U.S. Justice Department was pressing its own federal investigation of the incident as a hate crime.
Also on Monday, in what critics decried as an official endorsement of racism, Trump told Fox News he is considering pardoning Joe Arpaio, the former Arizona sheriff found guilty last month of criminal contempt for violating the terms of a 2011 court order in a racial profiling case.
Arpaio styled himself "America's toughest sheriff" for his tough treatment of inmates and crackdown on illegal immigrants.

Question: Iran fiasco could cause EU financial crash: Soros

The EU is staring down the barrel of a "major financial crisis" and an "existential" threat, but Brexit, one of its biggest problems, could be overturned.
That was the message in a speech in Paris by George Soros this week.

Orban (l) exemplified rise of EU populists, Soros said (Photo: premier.gov.pl)
"We may be heading for another major financial crisis," the 87-year old billionaire trader and philanthropist, who was born in Hungary, but who lives in New York, said.
"The European Union is in an existential crisis. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong," he said.
The US decision to pull out of the Iran nuclear arms control treaty could undermine market confidence in the US-European alliance, the world's top military and economic bloc, Soros said.
"We are now facing the termination of the nuclear arms deal with Iran and the destruction of the transatlantic alliance. This is bound to have a negative effect on the European economy," he said.
Soros spoke at a meeting of the European Council of Foreign Relations, a think tank, in the French capital, on Tuesday (29 May).
The EU faced an "existential" threat from the rise of populists in Europe, fuelled by the migration crisis, he also said.
"Unscrupulous leaders have exploited it [the migration crisis] even in countries that have accepted hardly any refugees. In Hungary, [prime minister] Victor Orban based his reelection campaign on falsely accusing me of planning to flood Europe, Hungary included, with Muslim refugees," Soros said.
"He is now posing as the defender of his version of a 'Christian Europe' that is challenging the values on which the European Union was founded," Soros added.
Brexit
Brexit, which he called "an immensely damaging process", "exemplified" how populist forces could wreak EU "territorial disintegration", he said.
The UK decision to leave the EU next year could still be overturned by a British parliamentary vote or a second referendum in the next five years, he also said, however.
"Divorce will be a long process, probably taking more than five years. Five years is an eternity in politics," he said.
"The British public must express its support [for staying in the EU] by a convincing margin in order to be taken seriously by Europe," he said.
Soros earlier contributed €800,000 to a pro-remain group, called Best for Britain, in the UK.
His Paris remarks were dubbed anti-democratic by pro-leavers in Britain's ruling Conservative Party.
"George Soros wants to overturn the largest democratic mandate in British electoral history," Andrea Jenkyns, a Tory MP told The Times, a British newspaper, on Wednesday, referring to the Brexit referendum in 2016.
Jacob Rees-Mogg, another Tory MP, told the LBC radio station: "We had the biggest democratic exercise in our nation's history - 17.4 million people voted to leave and of course that should be implemented. If, in 30 years' time, the UK wants to rejoin, that would be a matter for the electorate then."
Marshall Plan
The EU should also get its house in order on migration if it wanted to regain political ground from populists, Soros added in Paris.
Paying for African states to become more attractive places to live was the only way to reduce the numbers of people coming to Europe in the long term, he said.
The "Marshall Plan for Africa" would "require at least €30bn a year for a number of years" he said, referring to the US programme that paid for the reconstruction of Europe after World War II.
That meant member states such as Germany and France might have to set aside concerns on debt and extra EU spending, he indicated.
"Throughout history, the national debt always grew at times of war," Soros said.
"Harsh reality may force member states to set aside their national interests in the interest of preserving the European Union," he said.

Russia’s indefatigable president stormed to victory for his fourth term on a wave of admiration — or by stamping out all opposition, depending on which way you look at it. But in his Sunday night victory speech, given in a frosty Red Square, Vladimir Putin talked about unity. He told a cheering crowd they were part of a ‘big national team’ who would realise his grand vision for the motherland and that he would not be guided by ‘daily political calculations’. Western observers might take some convincing while diplomatic rows rumble on over the deployment of nerve agent on the streets of the UK and the question of Russian interference in the last US election.
But how dangerous is the Russian leader really? Perhaps less so than we imagine, says Gideon Rachman in his column. For while he is reckless, he is not irrational, and history suggests he can be deterred. It may be, argues Gideon, that Mr Putin is willing to take big risks when he believes that the west is not paying attention — Russia’s annexation of Crimea is a case in point. But when he meets clear resistance, he backs off.
While the president’s fans believe him to be a brilliant strategist who can get away with anything, the truth is that Mr Putin is prone to mistakes and makes calculations that often backfire. The result is that Russia is much poorer and more isolated than it should be, whatever the president’s grandiose rhetoric suggests.
Our digital cesspit:
The allegation that Cambridge Analytica accessed the Facebook profiles of millions of US voters and targeted them with personalised messages to help Donald Trump’s chances of election show us how connected devices can be abused and polluted to manipulate their users, argues John Thornhill. But before we assign all the blame to internet platforms we should take a look at our own complicity in fanning false news and fuelling a market for stories that stoke disgust and fear.
Pulling strings:
The revolving door between EU institutions and the private sector shows the Brussels lobbying industry at its worst, writes EU ombudsman Emily O’Reilly. The problem is more noticeable as Brexit-related consultancy work is booming — the uncertainty around the negotiations provides lucrative opportunities for EU insiders with good networks. Brussels officials are particularly attractive for their detailed and technical knowledge.
Advice to disgruntled centrists:
The mood is dark among the UK Labour party’s moderate MPs, says James Kirkup. Exasperated by opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn’s apparent remaking of Labour in his leftist image, they whisper about the creation of a new centrist party. But they are not ready yet. A new party needs a new image, agenda and policies — especially economic ones — to sell to voters.

Restrictive ownership hobbles audit industry — letter from Paul Boyle
In 2005 I noted that the restrictive ownership rules that apply to audit firms (in essence they need to be majority-owned by qualified auditors) made it effectively impossible for there to be a well-capitalised new entrant into the market. Had there been similar ownership rules in the airline industry (ie if airlines had to be owned by qualified pilots) then many of the disruptive new entrants would not have been able to get off the ground — literally.
Comment from ArmyMba on Gina Haspel, the undercover spy picked to head the CIA
This is the type of agency that needs a morally and ethically sound individual to lead it, not someone who has risen to the top via the grey zones that it operates in. She was an active participate in some of the dark work the agency did post 9/11 and then led the charge to white wash and cover the situation up. She may know “how that building works better than anybody” and “really knows her stuff” but she has not demonstrated that she has the character to make the morally tough decisions.
I can’t persuade Dropbox to take more of my money — letter from Christian Nielsen
You note that Dropbox’s revenue per subscriber has been flat for three years. That is unsurprising as I have for years been trying to give Dropbox more of my money without luck. It is quite simply not possible to purchase more storage once you hit the absurdly low limit of one terabyte. To start taking free money from existing customers might help the declining valuation.
