Question: Rabbit rescues prep for abandoned bunnies

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Rabbit rescue organizations are preparing for an influx of surrendered and stray bunnies as Easter weekend comes to an end.
Kaylie Ngo, president of London, Ont.,-based Hoppy Hearts, said the peak season for her rescue starts in June and July — and much of the volume stems from bunnies that were hastily purchased as Easter gifts for kids.
Bunnies are usually given as gifts when they’re about eight weeks old, Ngo said. But after a few months, their personalities start to shift.
“They start becoming very hormonal and active little teenagers that like to poop and pee and start destroying things,” she said.
The executive director of Rabbit Rescue Inc. in Cambridge, Ont., said oftentimes, parents who buy the animals for their kids don’t understand what they’re getting into.
“They’re really similar to cats and dogs, not like hamsters and gerbils,” Haviva Porter-Lush said. They can’t be kept in a small cage, for instance. Porter-Lush recommends keeping them in a pen or a dedicated room to themselves.
And they’re also more like cats and dogs in terms of cost than many people realize, she added.
“When people see them in the store for $30 or $40, they don’t realize that, say, ’in five or six months time, I’m going to need to spend $300 to $700 getting my rabbit spayed.”’
Ngo said that sometimes, a lack of veterinary care can be an issue for rabbit owners.
“Despite being the third most popular pet in North America, they are still considered an exotic pet by many veterinarians, and it can be really, really hard to find a good veterinarian to care for the rabbit,” she said.
Both Hoppy Hearts and Rabbit Rescue Inc. send rabbits that are up for adoption to foster homes — neither organization has a dedicated shelter space.
“It’s hard, because it’s a busy time of year and we get full very quickly,” said Porter-Lush, adding that they’re limited by the number of people who have agreed to act as foster families.
In fact, Ngo said her rescue has become so busy that it’s had to stop accepting owner-surrendered bunnies. Right now, she said, Hoppy Hearts is only taking in rabbits that have been abandoned outside.
“Even if only temporarily, being put outside is a death sentence,” she said.
So when they get the call about a domestic rabbit that someone has spotted outside, they act fast. Ngo said that at least two people will go out to the scene and try to corral the rabbit into a pen.
Then, they scan the bunny for immediate health concerns: dental issues, parasites and injuries. If it’s all clear, they go ahead and get the bunny spayed or neutered as quickly as possible.
Both Ngo and Porter-Lush recommend fostering a rabbit before eventually adopting one — it’s less commitment, and gives people a chance to see whether a rabbit is a good fit for their household.

Question: People really don't like Paul Ryan. But why?

Story highlights Fellow Republicans are dragging down House Speaker Paul Ryan's approval ratings
Ryan is shouldering the blame for Republican legislative failures, not Trump
Washington (CNN) House Speaker Paul Ryan is the least popular person to hold that job in a very long time, according to a new poll conducted by the Pew Research Center.
A majority -- 54% -- disapprove of how the Wisconsin Republican is leading the House. Just 29% approve. Those numbers compare poorly to other Speakers -- Democratic and Republican -- in April of their first year in power. (Worth noting: This is not an apples to apples comparison with Ryan; the similar time period for Ryan would be February 2016.)
In April 1995, 42% of people disapproved of the job Newt Gingrich was doing as Speaker. Just 30% disapproved of how Nancy Pelosi was doing her job in April 2007 and 34% said the same of John Boehner in April 2011.
The question I had was how did Ryan get so unpopular, so quickly? Gingrich, after all, instituted a series of major changes soon after taking over the House majority, and had already become a major national figure; he was in near-constant conflict with President Bill Clinton. Ryan, at least personality-wise, is not anything close to the brash and unapologetic Gingrich.
The answer is, in short: Lots more Republicans are unhappy about the job Ryan is doing than felt the same way about Boehner or Gingrich, or Democrats felt about Pelosi.

Question: Vodafone expands education scheme to five million African children

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

The programme aims to help those who have difficulty getting access to education
The Vodafone Foundation has expanded its education programme to benefit more than five million children in sub-Saharan Africa with limited access to education.
The ‘Instant Schools For Africa’ campaign aims to provide children across the Democratic Republic of Congo, Ghana, Lesotho, Mozambique and Tanzania with access to online learning. Children, young people and educators will get free unlimited access to the campaign. It is also available offline to help support those without internet access. A similar campaign in South Africa has already benefitted 215,000 children, claimed the operator.
Vodafone has developed the latest programme in partnership with charity Learning Equality. Subjects in the campaign include maths and science, with levels ranging from primary to secondary school standard. The network claims sub-Saharan Africa has the lowest rate of primary school enrolment, with 34 million children out of primary school.
Vodafone Foundation Director Andrew Dunnett, said: “From refugee camps to remote parts of Africa with few schools, connectivity gives children the opportunity for a better future. Instant Schools For Africa has the potential to transform the lives of millions of children excluded from education, giving them free access to the same materials used by children in developed markets to help them achieve their ambitions.”

Question: Mavericks use big run in fourth quarter to rally past Kings

represent this text to find a news title for it

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Yogi Ferrell made consecutive 3-pointers to spark a big run at the start of the fourth quarter and the Dallas Mavericks beat the Sacramento Kings 106-99 on Saturday night to snap a five-game losing streak.
Dirk Nowitzki had 15 points and seven rebounds while inching closer to another milestone in his illustrious NBA career. Harrison Barnes scored 18 points and Dwight Powell added 17 points and nine rebounds to help Dallas win in Sacramento for the first time in nearly three years.
The Mavericks trailed by as much as 10 in the second half and were down 85-81 heading into the fourth before opening the final period on a 16-0 run. Devin Harris followed Ferrell's back-to-back 3s with a pair of layups, including one off a midcourt steal. After Nowitzki connected from deep, Harris made a 3-pointer to put Dallas up 97-85.
Sacramento closed to 100-94 on a free throw by De'Aaron Fox with 2:45 remaining but Barnes made a driving one-handed dunk and a more traditional two-handed jam to help the Mavericks hold on.
Dallas won for the second time in 10 games.
Nowitzki played 26 minutes and needs six more to become sixth player in NBA history to reach 50,000 for his career, joining a list that includes Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Karl Malone, Kevin Garnett, Jason Kidd and Elvin Hayes.
Fox and Temple had 15 points apiece for Sacramento. The Kings had not lost at home to the Mavericks since Feb. 5, 2015.
Barnes and Nowitzki combined for the Mavericks' first 17 points of the game while making five 3-pointers, all of them uncontested.
Dallas got a lift from Powell early in the second and Barnes added a fourth 3, but Buddy Hield hit a 13-foot runner to beat the shot clock buzzer with 6.9 seconds left and pull the Kings within 56-54 at halftime.
TIP-INS
Mavericks: Barnes' first 12 points came on 3-pointers. . Powell had three dunks in the third quarter, including on back-to-back possessions. . JJ Barea scored five points on 2-of-12 shooting and played 24 minutes in his return after missing the previous three games with a left oblique strain.
Kings: Sacramento missed its first 10 shots in the fourth quarter. . Kosta Koufos started the third quarter in place of Randolph. Koufous finished with eight points and seven rebounds. . Jason Williams, who was a wildly popular player in Sacramento from 1998-2001, sat courtside next to owner Vivek Ranadive.

SEOUL, April 25 (Reuters) - South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd forecast higher panel shipments and more stable prices in the second quarter as it reported its first operating loss in six years on Wednesday, hit by a flood of supply from Chinese rivals.
Sluggish sales of liquid crystal displays for TVs and investment costs of shifting production to meet growing demand for organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panels also weighed on earnings in the first quarter.
But CFO Don Kim said the second quarter was looking brighter, with panel area shipments expected to grow on-quarter as consumers upgraded to bigger screens to watch major sporting events.
LCD panel prices should stabilise while demand for large-size OLED panels was also expected to remain strong, he added.
"The market situation has changed more rapidly than expected," he said in a statement, adding the company had underestimated the impact of new Chinese supply.
"We will be focusing on efficient and flexible management in capital expenditure and maintaining operational performance including intensified cost reduction."
The Apple Inc supplier posted an operating loss of 98 billion won ($91 million) for January-March. That compares with a 1 trillion won profit in the same period a year ago and an average forecast of a 58.1 billion won loss drawn from 14 analysts polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Revenue fell 19.6 percent to 5.7 trillion won.
LG Display shares, which have been trading near three-month lows so far in April, were up 0.2 percent by 0303 GMT compared with a 1 percent fall in the wider market.
"Investors are betting that this is the last bad result, and it can only go up from here," said Kim Hyun-soo, analyst at Hana Financial Investment.
Chinese panel makers, bolstered by government subsidies, are ramping up production and putting pressure on panel prices, analysts have said.
Prices of key LCD panels are estimated to have fallen between 6 percent and 10 percent in the first quarter, they added.
Concerns about a glut in the market had driven LG Display shares down about 17 percent so far this year.
LG Display said that while it expected 2018 capital expenditures to be slightly lower than previous guidance of 9 trillion won, investments would partly depend on the strength of the smartphone market.
Flagging the possibility of deeper cuts in capex, it said would take a "flexible" approach to investing in smaller OLED panels for mobile devices due to "increased uncertainty".
Less-than-expected sales of Apple's OLED-screened iPhone X led rival Samsung Electronics' display business, which has near 100 percent market share in mobile OLED, to lower the utilisation of its production lines in the first quarter, according to research provider WitsView.

Question: Extreme adventurist inspiring others to live a 'No Barrier' life

It was 16 years ago when Erik Weihenmayer climbed 29,000 feet to the top of Mount Everest and it was more than 30 years ago when he went blind.
Weihenmayer is known an extreme adventurist, traveling around the world testing and pushing his limits. His moto in life is ‘No Barriers.’ Weihenmayer says, he will never let his blindness become a barrier in his life.
“I was trapped in this little prison. I think you gain a certain sense of empathy for people and their barriers and it goes well beyond blindness it goes to all of humanity. People who struggle with physical barriers but also invisible barriers and those are sometimes the worst ones.”
After becoming the first blind man to climb Mount Everest, Weihenmayer wanted others dealing with their own barriers to face the uncertainty of a new adventure.
Weihenmayer says, “when you compare yourself to others it becomes de-motivational, like why should I try. It becomes another barrier, that guy climbed Everest, I could never do that. And that becomes a barrier it becomes like an excuse as to why you shouldn’t pursue what you want to do.”
In 2004, Weihenmayer along with a few others created the 'No Barrier Summit', where people with all abilities come together to help each other tear down the walls that have been holding them back. Weihenmayer says, “watching them do that and going through a transformative experience where those walls come down is like the most powerful thing you’ll ever encounter in life.”
Almost a decade after No Barriers was created, Weihenmayer decided to take on another extreme adventure, except this time it was an idea that seemed nearly impossible. He decided to kayak 277 miles through the class 9 white waters of the Colorado River.
Weihenmayer explained, “it was one of the hardest things I have ever done, just because it was so overwhelming, I sort of felt like it was sensory overload.”
After 6 years of practicing, he finally accomplished his dream and says, “life is about climbing, it’s about ascending, it’s about moving forward and trying to evolve and grow and transform and challenge yourself to the day you die.”

Nothing compares to flying five space missions and summiting Mount Everest - unless you're running a business. Turns out, the world's most avid adventure seekers and entrepreneurs have more in common than we might think.

So to save energy, he moves Jones around.\n“Joseph is like the Energizer Bunny out there,” Miller said. “He always goes full throttle. I should probably pull him off the field more, so he can run down, but it’s like one of those things, he likes to be on the field, he plays hard on the field, all the time rarely is he off I’ll usually slide him around to other positions so we can rest while he’s on the field. He’s just a real leader on the field, understands the game really well and plays with a lot of intensity. He’s just a solid player.”\nJones is a captain and plays every position for the Cowboys except goalkeeper.\n“He’s a great example to the younger player of how to be,” Miller said. “He’s an excellent student. So he balances everything between his school work and his work ethic on the soccer field, it’s just excellent.”\nVVN: How’s the season been going for you?\nJones: I’d say it’s going pretty good. It started off pretty well, I was scoring pretty good but as time went on I, I don’t know, lost my touch per se. I’ve had lots of opportunities but haven’t been quite able to finish them but at practice I’m working more on my shots. Being more accurate, I got three goals in, so that was nice, getting my scoring back on.\nVVN: I talked to (senior) Nate (Schultz) about moving around last week, have you moved around and how is it affected you?\nJones: Like between me and Nate?\nVVN: Yeah.\nJones: Sometimes when I get tired up there or I don’t feel like I’m doing much, because I’m not that big and they have some big defenders, I’ll send Nate up there since he’s a pretty big guy and he’s pretty quick, so I’ll take his spot in defending because I’m pretty fast as well and he goes up there and he can score. That’s why we tied Show Low 1-1.\nVVN: What’s it like for you, moving back, how much difference is for you I mean?\nJones: It’s not much different because the ball is everywhere I basically go and when I’m defense it’s constantly there and when I’m forward, they get it up to me and I do my best.\nVVN: So which one do you like playing better, striker or defender?\nJones: Probably defender because I just love it when I take the ball away from them and their facial expressions, frowns (laughs).\nVVN: How long have you been playing soccer?\nJones: Since I was five.\nVVN: How did you get into it?\nJones: My parents were getting me into sports, I played basketball and other sports, like cross country and I didn’t really like them but when I met soccer I had a passion for it.\nVVN: I was just going to ask, what other sports have you played?\nJones: Basketball, track, you know cross country, I was on the swim team, the dive team, it wasn’t my specialty (laughs).\nVVN: Do you have a favorite pro soccer team?\nJones: Barcelona.\nVVN: How come?\nJones: Because Messi’s on there (laughs), he’s my man. He’s just amazing with his feet and how quick he is and how he controls it. It just amazes me.\nVVN: Do you ever see the moves he does and try to emulate them?\nJones: I’ve tried but I’ve always tripped over and fallen on my face.\nVVN: What’s the most fun thing about playing soccer?\nJones: Working as a team, it’s a team effort and when you’re feeling down, you have a teammate to lift you back up. It’s a team effort, you can’t really do it by yourself.\nVVN: What kinds of things are you into outside of sports?\nJones: I’d say video games (laughs) and hiking and exploring basically.\nVVN: What video game systems do…\nJones: I play Call of Duty.\nVVN: Do you know what you want to do after high school?\nJones: I want to join the fire department.

Wesley Walters, the team manager, did not see a photo of himself on the wall. So Wesley went and asked head coach Greg Nossaman about it. Nossaman told Wesley he’d simply forgotten he was a senior. The coach then immediately made a call to the photographer and a day later Walters’ photo hung proudly next to the players. Wesley earned it.\nHe serves as the team manager for one of the better programs in central Ohio. Bonding with the basketball players is just one of the ways Wesley has grown into a popular figure around school. He’s also a percussionist in the high school band.\nWesley does all this despite having autism. He was diagnosed as a young boy but he was able to enroll in typical schools. He was different, socially, than the other kids at school. His friends say Wesley had his struggles growing up with making friends and feeling included. But Walters found basketball as a way to connect with people. He did not play on any teams but he does enjoy shooting and rebounding for the players. He began as a team manager in middle school and then served that role throughout his high school career.\nHis teammates say they’ve learned as much from Wesley as he’s learned from them. They sit together in the back of the bus for road games (the last 3 rows are reserved for seniors and Wesley sits with whoever he chooses). Wesley often borrows their phones to play a game or teach them about one of his favorite shows, Thomas and Friends. He’s assigned nicknames for all the players on the team based on characters from the show.\nAnd then there’s Wesley’s pre-game (and in-game) motivational speeches. He tells the players about toughness and hard work. They say if Wesley can get so wrapped up in the game they try to make sure he gets to celebrate a win with them.\nSaturday, Wesley joined his fellow seniors for their senior night where each player was introduced to the crowd. Wesley was announced last. He drew big cheers from his teammates and fellow students. His parents say it was a proud moment in their lives.\nWesley will graduate this spring and he hopes to attend college.

Question: Birth control: Trump expands opt-out for workplace insurance

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is allowing more employers to opt out of providing no-cost birth control to women for religious and moral reasons.
The administration has issued a long-expected revision to Obama-era rules. The rules require most companies to provide birth control as preventive care for women, at no additional cost. Under the Affordable Care Act, preventive services are supposed to be free of charge to employees and their dependents.
The Trump administration’s revision issued Friday expands a religious exemption that previously applied to houses of worship, religiously affiliated nonprofit groups, and closely-held private companies.
The share of women employees paying their own money for birth control pills has plunged to under 4 percent, from 21 percent, since contraception became a covered preventive health benefit, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation.

In his State of the State Address in 2014, Gov. Phil Bryant announced a goal: "to end abortion in Mississippi."
Bryant has now signed a law that makes his state the most difficult state in the country to get an abortion. It is called the Gestational Age Act, and it bans abortions after 15 weeks of gestation, except in the case of a medical emergency or a severe fetal abnormality. The law does not make exceptions in cases of rape or incest. The Mississippi House passed the measure on March 8, and Bryant signed it into law on Monday.
The Associated Press reports that Mississippi's only abortion clinic has sued the state in response to the legislation. In 2012, that same clinic, The Jackson Women's Health Organization, filed a lawsuit challenging a different bill Bryant signed into law. That bill enacted stricter requirements for abortion facilities, including a requirement that all physicians associated with an abortion facility have the right to admit patients to a local hospital. It was eventually blocked by a federal district court in 2013.
After signing this latest bill, Bryant wrote on Twitter, "I am committed to making Mississippi the safest place in America for an unborn child, and this bill will help us achieve that goal."
"We are saving more of the unborn than any state in America, and what better thing we could do," Bryant said as he signed the bill. "We'll probably be sued here in about a half hour, and that'll be fine with me. It is worth fighting over."
On the national level, some recent attempts to restrict abortion have failed, as Julie Rovner reported for NPR and Kaiser Health News:
Despite many attempts, Congress did not pass a federal ban on abortions occurring after 20 weeks, didn't cut off Planned Parenthood's federal funding and didn't write into permanent law the Hyde Amendment, which bans most federal abortion funding but needs annual renewal.
But, Rovner added, the Trump administration has made some progress in restricting abortion and contraception access:
The administration made myriad changes. It reinstituted and expanded the "Mexico City" policy, which forbids funding of international aid programs that "perform or promote" abortion. It issued rules aimed at allowing religious-affiliated and other employers to not offer contraceptive services if they have a "religious belief" or "moral conviction" against them, although federal courts have blocked the new rules from being implemented. And just last week the administration created a new "conscience and religious freedom" division in the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Civil Rights. That new division is designed to enforce both existing laws protecting the rights of conscience for medical personnel as well as the new regulations. Most important, according to many in the anti-abortion movement, the president nominated and the Senate confirmed more than a dozen federal district court and appeals court judges who are considered likely to rule in favor of abortion restrictions.

Technology of the Year for 2016 - The Web Platform By JP Morgenthal We’re starting to see predictions about what’s going to be hot in enterprise technology in 2017. Cloud (yet again), Blockchain, Big Data / Analytics, Internet of Things (IoT) are all among the top of the list. However, it was Krish Subrumanian’s humorous tweet that started me thinking about what will be the single most important contribution from the enterprise technology community in 2016. While all the aforementioned technologies will certainly see a lot of interest and growth, they’re all enabled by a Web platform.

Question: Russell asks where were the dignitaries at the Dawn Service?

RUSSELL Crowe has today reflected on the Anzac legacy after attending the Dawn Service in Coffs Harbour.
The Water Diviner director, who regularly marks Anzac Day in his family's hometown, also referred to apologies that were read out during the Dawn Service mentioning a host of local dignatures who were unable to attend the service.
"Another beautiful dawn service organised by the Returned Services Club, the C.ex a big crowd turned up probably 5,000 at least, probably more and as usual a great deal of enthusiasm and the comradery and spirit with people as they are walking in the dark towards the Dawn Service is something that I always appreciate," Russell said.
"Those few minutes that we take out every year to show thanks and respect for the men and women who have served our country and fallen in the course of their duty I think to me is very special and it's a very important part of our culture.
"This morning unfortunately the mayor, the two local members and the area command superintendent couldn't make it, obviously needed a sleep because of the pressures that are going to come upon for the nine o'clock march and service, but I think that's relatively poor form and I know them all and they are very good people and I'm sure me needling them about that in this way will probably ensure that they do turn up again next year," Russell said.
The Advocate has asked the question of local politicians after the comments.
Coffs Harbour City Council Mayor Denise Knight confirmed that she attended the Dawn Service at Woolgoolga and will be attending this morning's marches at Coffs Harbour and Sawtell.
Cowper MP Luke Hartsuyker has confirmed that he attended the Dawn Service in Port Macquarie then quickly jumped in his car to drive up the newly upgraded Pacific Hwy to also attend the Coffs Harbour and Sawtell marches.

State Member for Coffs Harbour Andrew Fraser confirmed that he also attended the Woolgoolga Dawn Service and will be attending the Coffs Harbour and Sawtell mid morning services and marches.
He said he recalls attending services when the cenotaph was positioned near Coffs Harbour's old police station and court house.
"I know I attended my first Dawn Service in Coffs Harbour when I was five with my grandmother," Mr Fraser said.
"There's only been two Anzac Day services I've missed since then. One was when I was at Flanders Fields and the other I was at Villers-Bretonneux."
Mr Fraser said Anzac Day is a special one for him due to his personal connection.
The Member for Coffs Harbour said his grandfather was a gunner who met heavy artillery fighting with the 1st AIF at Villers-Bretonneux.
"He was wounded twice and came home with shell shock. It was a tragedy," Mr Fraser said.
He added his grandmother's brother was killed on the very last day of fighting in World War 1.
"I have the utmost respect for those who fought and sacrificed so much to give us our democracy," Mr Fraser said.

Question: RHONY’s Ramona Singer duped Bravo into paying for clothes: suit

A woman who worked for Ramona Singer of “Real Housewives of New York” said the reality star involved her in a scheme to bill the Bravo network for clothes she bought and returned.
In a lawsuit, Lisa Taubes, who did marketing and branding for Singer and her clothing company, said she was fired after complaining about money she said Singer owed her.
Taubes said that after she refused to sign a nondisclosure agreement, “Ms. Singer shoved Ms. Taubes, grabbed Ms. Taubes’ handbag and overturned the contents of the handbag in the lobby,” according to court papers.
Singer is accused of billing the Bravo network for high-end clothes she bought and returned. (Andy Kropa/Getty Images)
But the worst of Taubes’ employment involved submitting false receipts to Bravo for clothes.
“Specifically, Defendants asked Ms. Taubes to purchase designer clothes for the filming of Ms. Singer’s show, and instructed Plaintiff to submit receipts to Bravo Cable Network for reimbursement and then asked Ms. Taubes to return the clothes for refund,” according to the lawsuit.

Taubes said she worked for Singer from January 2016 to December 2017.
A representative for Singer did not immediately return a request for comment.
Taubes is seeking $150,000 in damages.

Krislian dated Calvin Harris right after he dated ANTM host Rita Ora and because Rita already knew of her, she was at a disadvantage. She told TMZ, “There was definitely some rivalry happening with her, which I didn’t understand, but I mean it happened.”

Question: CanniMed asks Canadian regulators to intervene in hostile Aurora bid

(Reuters) - Medical marijuana company CanniMed Therapeutics Inc has asked Canadian regulators to intervene as it seeks to prevent a hostile takeover by bigger rival Aurora Cannabis Inc.
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan-based CanniMed said on Monday it asked the Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan and the Ontario Securities Commission to declare that Aurora’s move to take its buyout offer directly to CanniMed shareholders constituted an insider bid.
An insider bid is a takeover offer made by a company insider or their affiliates within a year before the bid. Canadian securities laws demand disclosure, review and approval processes in the event of such a bid to protect minority shareholders.
CanniMed said SaskWorks Venture Fund Inc, Apex Investments LP, Golden Opportunities Fund Inc and Vantage Asset Management Inc - its “locked-up” shareholders - acted jointly with Aurora.
Alberta-based Aurora offered to buy CanniMed last month but CanniMed adopted a plan to prevent shareholders from entering agreements with Aurora, viewing the deal to be “coercive.”
“We had hoped to make this a friendly and collaborative process, but Mr. Zettl (CanniMed CEO Brent Zettl) refuses to even pick up the phone or return our calls to have a discussion,” Aurora said on Monday in response to CanniMed’s move.
Aurora has sought acquisitions to expand in Canada and abroad amid expectations that Canada will soon legalize the production, sale and consumption of recreational marijuana.
Shares of CanniMed, which were down about 1 percent on the Toronto Stock Exchange on Monday morning, have risen 28 percent since Aurora made its offer on Nov. 14.

Question: What's up, dock? Old pledge to Airbus nears fulfillment

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

Five years after ground was broken for Mobile's Airbus assembly line and two years after the first jet built there took flight, the city and county seem close to fulfilling the last big piece of the promises that brought it to Alabama in the first place.
On Tuesday morning, the Mobile County Commission approved its $125,000 share of dredging work off Arlington Point. A short while later passage of a similar measure ponying up the city's share was interrupted by procedural confusion during a City Council meeting. While that discussion was heated at times, it seemed to involve no opposition to the measure itself, and the upshot was that the council may vote to approve it at next week's meeting.
Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson suggested Tuesday that the benefits go beyond satisfying an old promise to Airbus. Re-establishing a dock at Arlington point also stands to be an asset for future development of the Mobile Aeroplex at Brookley, he said.
At the March meeting of the Mobile Airport Authority, MAA Executive Director Elliot Maisel explained that part of the development agreement between Airbus and local governments had been the re-establishment of an old dock at Arlington Point, south of downtown Mobile and the state docks.
Airbus doesn't built jets from scratch at Brookley: It assembles them from major components -- wings, fuselage sections and tail -- shipped in from Europe. That's a process so specialized and complex that it was featured on the Science Channel show "Mega Shippers."
Since the Final Assembly Line opened, those components have come in via a container terminal at the Port of Mobile, then have been trucked to Brookley. But the Mobile Airport Authority has been working to rehabilitate what Maisel called "a broken-down little dock" at Arlington Point and the road needed to tie it to Airbus.
It also needed to dredge a channel to the dock, and that was a little tricky: There was a question of how to distribute the cost between the parties, and a potential question of liability if the dredging stirred up old contamination. Ultimately, according to Maisel and others, contamination turned out not to be a problem.
County Attorney Jay Ross said the agreement finalized in March by the Airport Authority called for the city and county each to put up $125,000, with Airbus to pay if the cost of the dredging ran higher than $250,000.
"It's an agreement goes back to July 2012, when we were agreeing to embrace Airbus as a component in our community, working with public dollars," Mobile City Councilwoman Bess Rich said during Tuesday's discussion. "Talking about dredging was like the last thing on the list if I'm not mistaken."
The general consensus seemed to be clear enough that this was an economic development promise the city was obligated to honor. And the council seemed to be pedaling smoothly toward approval until a stick jammed through its front spokes sent it flying over its own handlebars.
Councilman John Williams, who tends to be the council's sharpest observer of proper procedure, first questioned whether circumstances justified the somewhat unusual move of approving the measure immediately, rather than holding it over for a week as it normally would do for such an item. That morphed into tangle of questions over whether the measure had been properly advertised to the public, whether the council needed to hold a formal public comment session on it and whether the need to do so prevented immediate action.
The primary participants were Williams, council attorney Wanda Cochran and city attorney Ricardo Woods. At one point Williams suggested blame for the confusion stemmed from a foul-up by those who'd put the item on the agenda. It was sponsored by Stimpson and submitted by Woods, who took issue. The exchange starts shortly after the 1-hour mark in the video of the meeting.
Williams: "I think that simply, those who sponsored this failed to, uh --
Woods: "That's not accurate. That is not accurate."
Williams, forcefully: "Mr. Ricardo Woods, I am not talking to you right now."
Woods: "I'm talking to you, sir."
Williams, over Woods' continued assertion: "I don't care, it is time for you to get back in order. I won't have it."
After Council Vice President Levon Manzie called for decorum, some clarity eventually emerged. Cochran, Woods and City Clerk Lisa Lambert agreed that adequate notice had been given, that the meeting didn't have to feature a formal public comment period, and the council could vote immediately if it so choose.
However, Williams withheld unanimous consent, meaning normal procedure would apply: The measure would be held over for a week and come up for a vote at the council's next gathering.
Aside from the procedural mayhem, reception to the project itself seemed positive. Williams himself said that "certainly we need to do the dredging we've agreed to do, and we need to have a contract." Earlier, at the council's preliminary work session, economic development officials and Stimpson had spoken enthusiastically about its benefits as the Airbus plant sees a potential increase in production from its current four planes a month.
David Rodgers, the new vice president for economic development at the Mobile Area of Commerce, said that having a functional water terminal at Brookley would be a big deal. Jetliner components would still come into the port via large ships, but instead of being trucked to Brookley they'd be transferred to barges and floated there.
"The impact of this really for us is it gives us now a barge dock facility at Brookley," Rodgers said. "Which for our recruitment efforts for manufacturing for over there, for other aerospace manufacturers, is going to be huge for us. ... Yes, this is from the original agreement but this is definitely a step for progress for us."
Councilman C.J. Small responded that what Rodgers was describing was "some good stuff."
"I'll also add that as Airbus goes from Rate 4 to Rate 6, possibly Rate 8, this will be a huge benefit for them to be able to do that, to increase their productivity," said Stimpson.
Airbus has previously said that the possible increase in production could lead to significant hiring, raising its workforce from about 400 to about 600.

Question: 6-Year-Old YouTube Star Earns $11 Million Reviewing Toys

Represent this text to find a news title for it

CBS Local — A family’s toy review videos, starring their six-year-old son, has turned the youngster into one of the richest YouTube stars online.
Ryan, the star of Ryan ToysReview, finished in the Top 10 of Forbes’ highest-paid YouTube stars in the world this year. The six-year-old’s massively popular channel has reportedly earned $11 million in 2017.
The channel has attracted a huge following of parents and children who watch Ryan test out new toys and give his thoughts on them. Ryan ToysReview started in 2015 when the boy was only four; it now has over 10 million subscribers and his videos were reportedly viewed over eight billion times during the 12-month period Forbes was tracking them.
“He loves Cars, Trains, Thomas and friends, Lego, Superheroes, Disney toys, open surprise eggs, play doh , Pixar Disney cars , Disney Planes, monster trucks, minions, playtime at the fun, family fun adventure and so much more!,” Ryan’s parents write on the family’s YouTube channel.
Ryan’s family says the child star was inspired by watching other children and programs on YouTube and wanted to join the party. “One day, he asked me, ‘How come I’m not on YouTube when all the other kids are?’ So we just decided — yeah, we can do that. Then, we took him to the store to get his very first toy — I think it was a Lego train set — and it all started from there,” the boy’s mother said, via TubeFilter.
The family, who decided to keep their last name and location a secret for their son’s safety, says the show will only go on as long as Ryan continues to enjoy it. Once the youngster gets bored with his hit show, his parents say Ryan stop giving out the multi-million-dollar reviews.

Question: Congress Moves To Overturn D.C. 'Death With Dignity Law'

A version of this story was originally published by member station WAMU.
With the GOP fully in control of the federal government for the first time since 2006, Congressional Republicans are taking their first steps to assert their power over the District of Columbia's local government.
After an impassioned debate, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee voted Monday evening to block a D.C. law giving District physicians the right to prescribe lethal medication to terminally ill patients who have less than six months to live.
Committee chair Jason Chaffetz and other Republican conservatives have argued that the D.C. law should be nullified because it runs counter to ethical prohibitions against suicide. Most of the Republicans on the committee framed their opposition as a "pro-life" stance, with a number expressing concerns that the D.C. law could leave vulnerable dying patients at the mercy of physicians and relatives eager to hasten their exit.
"I worry that assisted suicide will create a marketplace for death," Chaffetz said.
Rep. Darrell Issa R-Calif., who represents one of six states that already have enacted legislation similar to D.C.'s right-to-die bill, was the only Republican to vote against the measure. Issa argued that given Congress' failure to stop such legislation nationally, he didn't think interference in D.C. affairs was justified.
In a statement after the committee vote, Mayor Bowser called it "a signal to DC residents that Congress has zero respect or concern for their will or the will of their elected officials."
Though the District gained an elected mayor and legislature in 1973, Congress retained broad authority over the city. That included the right to disapprove of bills — or, in simpler words, block bills passed by the D.C. Council from taking effect. But that right has been used sparingly: Congress has only formally blocked three D.C. bills over the last 45 years.
The panel voted 22-14 in favor of sending to the House floor the bill to the House floor. However that may be as far as it goes.
Unless conservative Republican backers of the manage to get the committee-passed "resolution of disapproval" through the House and Senate and signed by President Donald Trump by the end of the week — an exceedingly uphill battle given the normal pace of Congress — the law appears likely to take effect as passed by D.C. Council and signed into law by Mayor Muriel Bowser.
The bill becomes law if it is not blocked within 30 legislative working days of being sent Congress. By the D.C. City Council's calculations, time is up for opponents of the Death With Dignity bill on or about Saturday.
That leaves an almost impossibly narrow window for floor votes in the House and Senate. Moreover, it is not even certain that Trump would sign a disapproval resolution. White House press secretary Sean Spicer refused to say what the president might do when asked about the Death With Dignity law at a press briefing last week.
The audience at the committee meeting, which lasted until past 7:30, included activists in the right-to-die movement, including at least one who considers herself a potential beneficiary: Mary Klein, a 69-year-old D.C. resident who is dying of cancer. In an earlier interview with WAMU, Klein described the measure's passage, by an 11-2 D.C. Council vote in November, as "a great relief." Dan Diaz, the widower of Brittany Maynard, a young woman who wrote about her decision to end her life after a long battle with brain cancer, also turned up "to support D.C.," he said.
