Question: On July 4, Americans celebrate their union, rue divisions

From New York to New Mexico, July Fourth events will celebrate what Americans have in common.

Americans are marking Independence Day with parades, fireworks and, for some, a renewed sense of pride in their 242-year-old nation. For others, a sense of a United States divided weighs heavy on its quintessential holiday.
From New York to New Mexico, July Fourth events will celebrate what Americans have in common. Festivities are as elaborate as Macy’s July Fourth fireworks show, as gulp-worthy as Nathan’s Famous hot dog eating contest and as easygoing as backyard barbecues. But in a country roiled with debate over what it means to be an American, there are even competing televised Independence Day events in the nation’s capital.
The country’s longest-running live national July Fourth TV tradition — PBS’ broadcast of music and fireworks from the U.S. Capitol’s West Lawn — is facing new counterprogramming from the White House, which is hosting its own concert and view of the National Park Service’s fireworks show. Both shows feature different “American Idol” alums.
First lady Melania Trump said in a statement that the White House show would allow Americans to “tune in from their homes and be part of the festivities.” PBS declined to comment.
In New York, the Macy’s fireworks show over the East River promises 25 minutes of sparkle and “ahhhh,” plus the West Point Band and entertainers including Kelly Clarkson, Ricky Martin and Keith Urban on NBC’s broadcast. Earlier, competitive-eating titans will face off at Nathan’s Famous July Fourth hot dog eating contest on Coney Island, televised by ESPN.
Meanwhile, some communities in the American West have cancelled their planned July Fourth fireworks because of high wildfire danger, and some others are doing drone light displays instead of pyrotechnics. But fireworks shows will go ahead in such places as Denver and Colorado Springs.
In Boston, the Boston Pops Fireworks Spectacular features singer-songwriter Rachel Platten, the Indigo Girls, Rhiannon Giddens and Broadway legend Rita Moreno. It’s televised on local station WHDH-TV and streamed on several sites.

In another July Fourth tradition, new U.S. citizens will be sworn in at locales around the country.
They’ll pledge allegiance to a country where some people lament that the ability to debate respectfully the toughest issues of the day seems hopelessly lost. For Brad Messier, a chef in Portland, Maine, the holiday “seems to illustrate the glaring divides that we have.”
“How much does going and seeing fireworks really bring people together?” he asks.
But in rural Shelby County, Alabama, retired truck driver Floyd Champion views these as the best of times in America.
“I love the holiday because it’s our independence,” he said.
Tomorrow, families across our Nation will gather to celebrate the Fourth of July. As we do, we will think of the men & women serving overseas at this very moment, far away from their families, protecting America – & we will thank GOD for blessing us with these incredible HEROES! pic.twitter.com/FQ1D7oEta2 — Donald J.

America's Declaration of Independence celebrates its 242 birthday today, a day when our forefathers risked death for treason when the Continental Congress declared the 13 colonies as independent states free of the tyrannical British rule.
Since that day in Philadelphia when 56 signers put their signatures on a piece of paper, the Declaration of Independence has withstood the test of time from when this nation eventually earned its freedom from Britain in the 1780s and began to forge a new beginning to the War of 1812, when bitterness between the United States and Great Britain resurrected itself, to the American Civil War, which almost split the United States into two separate countries. Other documents, particularly the Constitution, strengthened the Declaration's message.
The principles outlined in the Declaration of Independence became a model for other countries ruled by a king or queen, most notably France and other countries — especially those in Central and South American fighting for independence against Spain in the 1820s. Their people and leaders defied the tight grip of government and followed a similar cry for independence as displayed in the U.S. document.
The resolve of the United States faced numerous challenges in the 20th century, especially with two devastating and costly world wars, Korea and Vietnam, and most recently with Iraq and Afghanistan.
Enjoy the Fourth of July, but take time out to understand the symbolism this country presents around the world and what sacrifices have been made for this country to survive 242 years. Recommended Stories For You
Other countries or people have used the document for their rallying cries to seek independence from a brutal dictatorship or regime that limits human rights and other freedoms associated with the press, religion and human dignity.
With that said, though, our forefathers may not recognize the country of 1776 in its evolution to 2018.
An emerging country that prided itself in ingenuity, hard work and small government has changed tremendously. While Americans are still some of the hardest working people on the planet and ingenuity makes lives better, thousands of residents still receive government hand-out programs to a massive $19.9 trillion debt may not be what Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin envisioned.
As we look forward to celebrating today with a local parade, family picnic and activities at the fairgrounds and fireworks near Rattlesnake Raceway, we should never lose sight what patriots did to rid the colonies of over-taxation, unreasonable search and seizure and unworthy requests mandated from the King and his henchmen who performed their own methods of close surveillance on the colonists, fearful the people of this new land could rise up and demand their independence … which they did.
Enjoy the Fourth of July, but take time out to understand the symbolism this country presents around the world and what sacrifices have been made for this country to survive 242 years. Reading both the Declaration and Constitution is a start to reconnect present issues with past guidelines.

Question: Education minister ignores rural closings

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Education Minister Mitzie Hunter packed more bologna than was thought to be humanly possible into a short letter to the editor last week.
To call the letter disingenuous would be a kindness. It was full of unadulterated nonsense.
"Our government remains committed to students in rural Ontario." Some plans to close rural schools involve disrupting student education and busing youngsters as long as 90 minutes a day one way. Some commitment.
The minister goes on to say the government spends $1,000 more for each rural pupil compared to urban pupils. So what? Of course education in rural areas will be more expensive. It's the density thing.
Hunter then detail all the money that has been spent on rural education, the new schools that have been built and schools that have been renovated.
Thanks very much, but what about the schools that have been closed?
Hunter takes on the Ontario Conservative leader for demanding a moratorium on school closings.
Hunter: "We continue to see Patrick Brown's Conservatives wanting to restrict the local decision making power of school boards limiting a board's ability to prioritize student needs.
"He wants the decisions that impact local students and communities to be made at Queen's Park without giving the locally-elected trustees . . . the opportunity to have these important planning conversations."
However, Hunter fails to mention these are decisions within a framework of her ministry's making. Local decisions are dictated by funding models that come right out of her department.
Under those models, local boards close schools or lose money. The bureaucrats who run local boards also fall out of favour with their counterparts at Queen's Park if they don't get on the school closing bandwagon.
Of course, this is all about politics and the provincial election in June 2018. Hunter's Liberals are about as popular in rural Ontario as a drunk at a Women's Christian Temperance Union meeting.
Two schools in the Georgian Bay region have escaped the ministry's guillotine at least temporarily because their communities came up with plans to provide financial help.
Private industry is in involved. Local government is involved. A developer is involved.
Neither Hunter's ministry nor the local school board lifted a finger to help keep these schools open, even though the case for closing them was weak at best.
The fact these two schools have been saved was just announced. Hunter is expected to visit the schools in Paisley and Markdale Wednesday.
No reason for the visit has been announced, but if she claims any credit for her ministry she should be shown the route out of town.

Question: Early-Season Injuries Do Not Have To Doom Your Fantasy Baseball Team

By Sam McPherson
The Major League Baseball season is two weeks in, and already there have been a ton of players suffering injuries and landing on the new 10-day disabled list. The 2015 American League Most Valuable Player, Toronto Blue Jays third baseman Josh Donaldson, was off to a great start before aggravating his calf and landing on the DL. Same for two-time All-Star closer Zach Britton, who was leading the AL in saves with five. the Baltimore Orioles closer is now on the DL, too, with a forearm strain. You just can’t avoid injuries in fantasy baseball, unless you’re very, very lucky.
However, unlike fantasy football, which is much more punishing if you lose a top draft pick to injury so soon, you can overcome these kinds of injuries in fantasy baseball. Most of the time, you can find able replacements on the waiver wire in April to alleviate the pain of an injured player. Yes, Donaldson is harder to replace than Britton, using the above examples, because someone on the Orioles still has to save games, whereas hitting home runs and collecting RBI is harder when it comes to finding another third baseman like Donaldson.
The point is that injuries happen to almost every team in your league, and they happen often. Generally, it’s always a priority to replace injured hitters first, because the counting stats (HRs, RBI, etc.) are predominant—and the skill sets are harder to replicate. With pitching, it’s best to prioritize replacing closers over starters, as saves come from everywhere whereas bad starters can ruin your place in the standings, thanks to the ERA and WHIP categories.
Players to Get Onto Your Roster Now
1. Ryan Zimmerman, 1B, Washington Nationals: This would be a perfect replacement for Donaldson, if Zimmerman still played third. Depending on your roster, maybe you can juggle the 1B/3B slots a bit and grab Zimmerman while Donaldson heals. Strangely, Zimmerman was only an All-Star selection once (2009), but he’s off to a good start in 2017 with a .341 average, three HRs and six RBI. It may not last long, considering recent history. He hasn’t played a full season since 2013, but if you just need a few weeks out of him while Donaldson gets back to full strength, Zimmerman is as good an option as any.
2. Jason Vargas, SP, Kansas City Royals: Coming back from a UCL tear is never certain, but Vargas looks to be in good shape right now. He started three games late last year and got progressively better each time out. With another offseason to recover, Vargas has started off this season strong (2-0, 0.66 ERA, 14 strikeouts), and although he probably won’t throw more than 150 innings this whole season, now’s the time to get on board and ride his arm for as long as you can. Vargas isn’t going to win the Cy Young Award, but you don’t need him to in order to benefit from his comeback.
3. Chris Devenski, P, Houston Astros: This is an interesting proposition, since Devenski isn’t in the Astros starting rotation. However, he started five games last year and should find his way into a starter’s role soon. Devenski’s numbers in relief this year are stellar already (17 Ks in nine innings, plus a 1.00 ERA), and for his career so far, the numbers are stable and good (117 1/3 IP, 121 Ks, 2.07 ERA, 0.886 WHIP). Even if he doesn’t start that often, his overall numbers can only help your fantasy staff. Sometimes, it’s the sneaky reliever types like this that win the league for you.
4. Aaron Judge, OF, New York Yankees: He had a rough start to his career last season, but Judge already looks a lot better this season (three HRs, seven RBI, .870 OPS). His batting eye looks improved, too, based on four walks already in 10 games after Judge had nine total last year in 27 games. He could supply a ton of power for your team if another player goes down with an injury—and a lineup juggle works for you. Just 25 years old, Judge is one of several young Yankees looking to bring the power and the glory back to the Bronx.
Players to Sit/Drop This Week
1. Byron Buxton, OF, Minnesota Twins: He’s still only 23 years old, but with 149 MLB games under his belt now since 2015, it doesn’t look like Buxton is ever going to be the great player he was touted to be. He’s struck out 23 times already this season, in just 12 games. Overall, he’s hitting just .093, and again, with almost a full season compiled in stats, little about those numbers (.210 average, only 13 stolen bases) suggests he’s going to have a good career. Maybe he turns it around eventually, but in single-season leagues, let someone else take the chance on Buxton. You can find better players on the waiver wire.
2. Sam Dyson, RP, Texas Rangers: Hopefully, you didn’t draft both Britton and Dyson, because you’d really need to find saves now. Dyson has been a nightmare this year (0-2, 24.75 ERA) after posting 38 saves last year. But his strikeout rate has never been great (career 7.4 Ks per nine IP), so he was a risky pick to begin with this year. Psychologically, it’s hard to see the Rangers going back to Dyson later for saves, especially when they have better options on their roster. Drop him and find a better reliever. Someone else can take a chance on Dyson.
3. Russell Martin, C, Toronto Blue Jays: A four-time All-Star selection, Martin (and his Blue Jays) are off to a terrible start this season. However, he is a career .253 hitter, and for a catcher with his power, that’s acceptable. You know he will bounce back later along with his whole team. In the meantime, however, stash him on your bench and pick up a streaky, hot-hitting, unknown catcher. This will save your team average for now, and you’ll be able to ride the inevitable, stat-correcting run Martin goes on later this summer.
4. Jeff Samardzija, SP, San Francisco Giants: He’s now 0-3 with a 6.16 ERA and a 1.42 WHIP, although he looked a little better on Sunday against Colorado (no walks, eight Ks) despite taking the loss. However, the problem is that the Shark is the team’s No. 4 starter, and he lacks the quality stuff plus the mental fortitude (which is surprising, considering his college football days playing for Notre Dame) to overcome the San Francisco roster’s many deficiencies. He’s not Madison Bumgarner, and right now, even Bumgarner is winless for this last-place Giants team. Bench Samardzija if you must, but there are better SPs on the waiver wire.

Grant Hughes National NBA Featured Columnist
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — DeMarcus Cousins will spend the rest of the 2016-17 NBA season walking on eggshells.
Having already served a league-mandated suspension for accruing 16 technical fouls, Cousins faces subsequent one-game bans for every two additional violations. Subduing emotion has always been difficult for the All-Star big man, but now the penalty for failure is more severe than ever.
Every incident that could produce a shout, scowl or diatribe against officials suddenly comes at a steeper price. Errant hands to the face of Donatas Motiejunas get extra scrutiny, for example. Reactions to low blows from Buddy Hield, obvious no-calls and every other potential outburst could result in another team-crippling suspension.
And you'd better believe it's weighing on Cousins.
"I don't know how to be myself anymore," he said softly from his locker stall at the Golden 1 Center on Friday night.
The Kings had just engineered a 22-point comeback to steal a win from the visiting Atlanta Hawks, but more importantly, it was Cousins' first night back from his initial suspension. He admitted the threat of future discipline affected his performance. Hence the miniature existential emergency.
"It's well known I'm a very emotional player," Cousins later explained to Bleacher Report. "I play with a lot of passion, a lot of emotion. I know that's what makes me the player that I am. When I'm kind of crucified for how I play, and they want change, it's hard for me to be the same type of player...It's just me trying to find the balance. I'm trying to make the adjustment, I'm trying to make the change for the better."
Can he sustain his productivity while snuffing out the fire that led to his suspension? And can he do it as the pressure of the season's stretch run intensifies?
Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images
Cousins understands the stakes. He knows his team is within sniffing distance of the franchise's first playoff berth since 2007. And he knows one game lost to suspension here or there could be the difference between reaching what he's called his only goal and falling short again.
"The guy's trying so hard," head coach Dave Joerger said. "He's an emotional player, so it's like he's playing with one hand behind his back if he can't ever say anything. He doesn't want to hurt the team. He doesn't want to get another technical."
Cousins survived the comeback win against Atlanta without incurring tech No. 17, but it was no easy thing. He was sluggish, visibly frustrated and unable to hide the strain of, well...restraint. Is his effectiveness divisible from his emotion?
"I'm dealing with my own demons right now," he said. "I've got to focus on what's going on at the moment, and I did a terrible job of that."
Two nights later, Cousins was assessed a first-quarter technical foul for an errant swing of the arm that caught New Orleans Pelicans forward Motiejunas in the face. In order to compose himself, Cousins actually left the floor and went to the locker room.

Klay Thompson Career High 60 Points
"It was kind of hard for me with that one because of the situation that had just occurred where I come back and the slightest thing and I'm back (facing suspension)," Cousins said. "It's hard, but I had to gather myself, refocus and get back to the main objective which is winning the game. I've got to walk the straight and narrow. It's all I can do."
Sacramento won that game as well, getting 28 points, 14 rebounds and seven assists from its best player—despite an ejection-triggering groin shot from Pelicans guard Hield. It was as if the basketball gods were testing Boogie. To his credit, he passed. Plenty of players with less volatile reputations would have snapped in that situation.
But so many more games lie ahead. So many more trials have yet to be undertaken. And, again, Cousins' margin for error is basically nil.
How he handles the challenge he's helped create for himself (despite protestations about unfair treatment from officials, he is partly responsible for his situation) will either signal the kind of growth so many have been waiting to see or reaffirm the doubts that have dogged him for years.
Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images
He'll have help.
"I lean on all my teammates, not just Matt (Barnes). But he is the voice of our team. Everybody leans on Matt when times get hard because he's been through it all, seen it all on all levels."
Barnes, like Cousins, is no stranger to image problems.
"He's got a tough rap—the reputation he's earned," Barnes told ESPN-Tencent's Yuan Fang. "Whether it's good or bad. We both have bad and that took me my whole career to change mine and it hasn't worked. He just has to be able to adjust within his reputation and still be himself. He has to keeps his head."
Barnes has been a calming figure all season, which may seem odd given his volatile reputation. He commands respect like no on else on the roster, and you can see it in the locker room and on the floor. When the Kings found life in the second half against Atlanta, they did so after Barnes gathered his teammates together at the foul line before the third quarter.
When he motioned for a huddle, everyone—Cousins included—hustled over, leaned in close and listened to the veteran as he clapped his hands and exhorted them to perform.
"I thought Matt did a good job of really talking to us the whole game," Darren Collison said. "He was the leader when things weren't going well."
This is about more than Cousins' personal journey, though. The Kings have professed commitment to their big man, with general manager Vlade Divac saying Cousins won't be traded. A contract extension worth upwards of $200 million will likely come by July.
Cousins could validate that faith by adjusting his behavior and upping his level of play. Or he could falter and, in doing so, force the Kings to reconsider their committed stance. Worse still, he might come up short and get that max extension anyway, which would effectively consign Sacramento to another half-decade of maddening sub-mediocrity.
We've seen a lot from DeMarcus Cousins over the last six years.
He's got six weeks to show us something more.

But Sacramento's defense has been untenably bad in the 119 minutes the duo has played together, and it's only gotten worse as the season has worn on. In 50 minutes since Jan. 1, the Kings have allowed 118.1 points per 100 possessions with Cousins and Cauley-Stein on the court.
That's not to say Cauley-Stein's without his uses. Lately, his energy and rim-rolling prowess have charged up the Kings' scrappy second unit. He put up 14 points, five rebounds and four assists in a Feb. 8 win over the Boston Celtics.
"He's getting to balls that are outside of his area, and I think he's a lot more comfortable with our defensive schemes and also our offensive schemes where he can find seams to get to the rim."
In limited minutes as part of a unit with Anthony Tolliver, Matt Barnes, Ben McLemore and either Darren Collison or Ty Lawson, Cauley-Stein has solidified himself as a rotation player with upside. That's good timing by him, as Cousins figures to miss a few games before season's end, which will free up minutes in the middle.
Return of the Mac
Does it count as a return if Ben McLemore's viability as an NBA player was never really certain in the first place?
Rather than worry about the details, check this out: McLemore is tearing it up since regaining a role after six consecutive DNPs.
In February, he's averaging 13.3 points per game and hitting 50 percent of his threes. His 22 points and 6-of-10 effort from long distance were vital in Friday's win over Atlanta.
"He's always been a good shooter to me, it was just a matter of time for him to really turn the corner," Darren Collison said. "One thing about Ben, even when he wasn't playing, he was always in the gym. First one in the gym, last one to leave."
Cousins, as you'd expect, was more forthright: "Ben is like a little brother to me. It's bigger than basketball, just to see him remain positive, remain professional through the bulls--t and things not going his way ... I think he's hitting his stride. I think that good karma's coming around for him now."
Digging Holes and Microcosms
It's fitting the Kings are scrambling to make up ground in the West after an uninspiring first half of the season (or 50-plus games, as the case may be). Because that seems to be the way they operate.
Here's proof:
Kings False Starts Quarter Offensive Rating Defensive Rating Net Rating First 100.7 111.9 -11.3 Second 103.5 111.4 -7.9 Third 108.8 104.9 +3.9 Fourth 108.9 105.9 +3.0 NBA.com
On the one hand, failing to show up for games before halftime is a concern. But, on the other, the Kings have been forced to develop resiliency.
"Our fight and our heart is undeniable," Cousins said. "I believe everybody here can agree with me on that. That being said, we can't keep putting ourselves in that position. We gotta make these games easier for ourselves."
Not getting blasted in every first quarter (the Kings lost all three opening periods in their three-game winning streak) would be a good start.

Question: Mother and young son attacked and stabbed by stranger in Calgary park

CALGARY — A suspect is in custody and a Calgary woman and her six-year-old son have been taken to hospital with stab wounds in what police are calling a random attack.
It happened Friday evening in the Beddington Heights neighbourhood.
Staff Sgt. Asif Rashid says the mother and son were found in medical distress in a park.
They are in serious but stable condition.
Witnesses tell CTV Calgary the boy had been stabbed in the back while the woman was suffering from an injury to her chest.
An unidentified male was located and apprehended by police.
“As police converged on the scene, there was additional intelligence that came forth from neighbours and witnesses suggesting that an individual nearby might be responsible for the matter,” says Rashid. “A male was taken into custody without incident.
“Preliminary indications are that the individual taken into custody is not known to the female and the child, however, the fruits of the investigation will bear out those details. There is no information to suggest that this was a targeted attack.”

WASHINGTON — Americans increased their spending at gasoline stations and restaurants in January, boosting retail sales even though auto buying fell.
Retail sales rose a seasonally adjusted 0.4 percent, down from a solid 1 percent gain in December, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.

Milpitas: Smart & Final Extra expected to open at former Nob Hill site by next month Overall sales pulled back from a December bump in holiday shopping online and at auto dealers. But Americans spent more than normally expected last month at clothiers, department stores, electronics outlets and sporting goods retailers.
The gains point to continued economic growth. But they also indicate that improving consumer sentiment after President Donald Trump’s presidential election, especially optimism among Republicans, has yet to significantly boost retail sales.
“Sales are growing at a decent clip, but the surge in consumers’ confidence since the election is yet to translate into stronger spending,” said Ian Shepherdson, chief economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics.
Higher gas prices drove a 2.3 percent sales increase at service stations last month. Gasoline prices climbed 7.8 percent between January and December, according to a separate Labor Department report released Wednesday. The retail sales report does not adjust its figures for prices.
Purchases at restaurants and bars climbed 1.4 percent. Building materials stores saw a slight 0.3 percent gain.
But sales at auto dealers slipped 1.2 percent, a sharp pull back after jumping 2.9 percent in December.
Sales at non-store retailers such as internet outlets were flat in January, although they have climbed 12 percent over the past year as more Americans prefer to shop via their computers and phones.
Over the past 12 months, total retail sales have risen a solid 5.6 percent. The greater spending likely reflects the improving job market. Employers added 227,000 workers in January, while the unemployment rate ticked up slightly to 4.8 percent because more people started looking for jobs and were counted as unemployed.

Question: FDA: Drug shortages possible due to Puerto Rico power outage

represent this text to find a news title for it

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says drug shortages are possible because of expected long-term power outages in Puerto Rico.
According to the agency, factories in Puerto Rico make nearly 10 percent of the medicines used by Americans, plus numerous medical devices.
FDA Commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb said in a statement Friday that the agency is working to prevent shortages of about 40 medicines. He didn't name the medicines involved.
The FDA said it is working with drugmakers, who are trying to restore partial operations with backup generators. In the most urgent cases, the FDA is helping companies get fuel to keep their generators running and ship finished products.

Question: In Germany, Churchgoers Are Encouraged To Tweet From The Pews

In Germany this year, the Protestant church is celebrating 500 years since Martin Luther brought about the Reformation. Today, as the number of churchgoers dwindles, the clergy is turning to new media to appeal to those with little time to attend worship in person.
In the eastern city of Magdeburg, the monotone peal of a single church bell calls a modest flock of parishioners to evening prayers at the Walloon Reformed Church of St. Augustine.
As the faithful file into a High Gothic church where Martin Luther once delivered a sermon, most fumble around in handbags and pockets, looking for their cellphones.
But instead of dutifully switching off their phones and putting them away on this Friday evening, these 40 or so churchgoers take a pew and bow their heads over their lit-up devices as if they were prayer books.
This is a Twitter service, where the congregation is encouraged to tweet about the liturgy and share their prayers online.
Pastor Ralf Peter Reimann says it's an experiment. He believes that social media can help the Protestant church retain and even gain followers, even in today's increasingly secular society.
"There are lots of people who live online," he says. "We want to include these people and offer them to participate in a way that's comfortable to them."
While Reimann preaches from behind the lectern, a chorus of young parishioners perching in the choir stalls tweets about his sermon. Above them, a large screen displays a hash-tagged feed which, in real time, shows tweets coming from both within the church and from around Germany.
"Luther talked about the priesthood of all believers," Reimann says. "So if you use social media, it's not only the pastor communicating on behalf of the church, but Christians communicating among each other."
Although such Twitter services are yet to catch on, embracing the latest media trend is nothing new for Protestants.
Five-hundred years ago, when Martin Luther first protested against corruption in the Catholic Church, it was the then relatively new printing press that helped his challenge to papal authority to "go viral."
Luther's supporters printed his radical ideas in pamphlets. Cheap to produce and easy to distribute, these pamphlets fostered public debate.
Ulrike Zitzlsperger, a professor of German studies at the University of Exeter in England, says the 16th century pamphlet was the social media of Luther's day.
"I think the parallels with the use of Twitter today are really strong," Zitzlsperger says. "You've got a topic that engages not just an educated public but really the wider public, the lay people. Everybody has a say."
Luther's followers shared these pamphlets and responded to them by printing their own. These Twitter-like discussions spread so rapidly that the Catholic Church could do little to censor what it called heresy.
Today though, it's no longer dissent but disinterest that threatens the Christian church in Europe.
Back in Magdeburg, the Twitter service is in full swing. Messages from around Germany, where dozens of others participated, are displayed on the church's interactive screen in front of the altar.
Some posts are encouraging, like the one from a Twitter user who tweets in German, "We all make mistakes. God will show us the right way."
Some users share their private prayers, like one who posts: "I pray for the unborn child in my belly and that it is blessed with good health."
Other users are less convinced. "Sorry, this is too hectic," one writes. "I go to church to find inner peace. I'm signing off."
It's also too much for 86-year-old Ingeborg Brunner, who tiptoes out of church before the Twitter service is over. Brunner doesn't own a smartphone, so she feels somewhat left out.
"It was certainly interesting, but it's not my cup of tea" Brunner admits. "I'm a little old for Twitter. I prefer a proper service, when we get to sing hymns."
While Brunner says she's pleased the church is appealing to the digitally devout, regular churchgoers like her would rather sing than tweet.
After all, congregational singing is another major legacy of the Reformation.

Question: B.C. woman recounts ‘feces falling from the sky’

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

A Kelowna mother and her son were splattered in falling feces as it covered their car and came through the sunroof
A Kelowna woman has conjunctivitis in both eyes, a hefty car detailing bill to pay and a lot of anger after being splattered with feces that fell from the sky.
Susan Allan was in the car with her son in the early afternoon of May 9. She was stopped at the street lights on Spall Road and Bernard Avenue when an unwelcome deluge covered her car and came through the open sunroof.
“We were parked at the lights when the ‘sky poop’ starting falling,” said Allan. “It got all over my car, it got all over (me) and got on my son, inside my vehicle. It was definitely falling from the sky.”
When they looked up they saw the bottom of an airplane as it flew overhead.
“It was just very wet and smelled terrible. I can’t really describe the feeling … it was almost like chunks of mud falling from the sky hitting you in the face,” said Allan.
“My son said that the sensation he got was a cold feeling as it hit his face, then the smell was overwhelming for him and he almost got sick as it was hitting his face.”
They got out of their car and a woman nearby pointed the plane out to them.
“I mean we were covered in it, our vehicle and their vehicle was also hit with the same poop,” said Allan.
That “sky poop” sent Allan to her doctor’s office out of fear of infection or catching something worse. Her doctor’s note shows that she was diagnosed with conjunctivitis in both eyes as a result of “…being inundated with sewerage from an overhead plane, while driving her car.”

Transport Canada states that it takes all reports of possible debris coming from aircraft very seriously.
“Transport Canada is aware of the incident you describe and we are looking into it,” said spokesperson Daniel Savoie
“Each air operator is responsible for ensuring that their aircraft operate safely and in compliance with the Canadian Aviation Regulations. Section 602.23, ‘Dropping of Objects’, states “No person shall create a hazard to persons or property on the surface by dropping an object from an aircraft in flight.” Any operator found to be in contravention of the Canadian Aviation Regulations will be subject to enforcement action under Transport Canada’s mandate.”
As for Allan, she said she waited until this week to alert the media as she has hoped the airport would make it right, but after weeks of no reply she reached out to the media.
“I reported it to them hoping the airport would deal with me without having to go through the news to stop the embarrassment for both of us, but it didn’t turn out that way so I had to go to the news.”
She claims she has been getting mixed messaging from authorities
“I was told that there were three planes that flew over that area at that time, then I was told that there was one plane that flew over that area at that time and now all of a sudden no plane flew over the area at that time,” said Allan. “I believe that the airport should take responsibility for what happened to me and my son, maybe clean out my car and compensate for the infection that I got in my eyes.
“I believe that they owe me an apology for both making me feel like I did something wrong by reporting it, and for it happening in the first place.”
The Kelowna International Airport could to speak on the incident as it is being investigated by Transport Canada.
“Similar to any aviation incident, this would fall under the jurisdiction of Transport Canada. We are supporting Transport Canada’s investigation and any outcomes,” said Phillip Elchitz, Senior Airport Operations Manager.

Question: Colombia opens border shelter for Venezuelans fleeing crisis

Represent this text to find a news title for it

BOGOTA — Colombia's government has opened its first shelter for Venezuelans who are pouring across the border in ever-larger numbers to escape their nation's economic crisis.
The bare-bones shelter opened Saturday near the border city of Cucuta will provide shelter of up to 48 hours for 120 people a day. Pregnant mothers, the elderly and minors who entered the country legally will be given priority. It will be administered by the Red Cross.
Cucuta has been overwhelmed in recent weeks by an increasingly large exodus of Venezuelans. Many are sleeping on the streets and crime in the city has spiked as gangs recruit and take advantage of the desperate migrants.
Some 35,000 Venezuelans cross into Colombia each day, many of them settling in with relatives or making short trips to buy food and medicine that has been scarce for years back home.
But the numbers have surged in recent months, with an estimated 200,000 now looking to stay, as four-digit inflation plunges the oil-rich nation deeper into the abyss.
Not all of them have been embraced amid growing hysteria that the economic refugees are stealing jobs and overwhelming already-stretched resources.
Last week, authorities deported 130 Venezuelans who entered the country illegally and were sleeping outdoors on a basketball court in Cucuta. Migration authorities are also seeking to toughen enforcement of migration laws even as it extends from 90 days to two years the amount of time Venezuelans can remain in the country.
"We are trying to be as generous as possible but we also must have order," Foreign Minister Maria Holguin said this week after a special cabinet meeting to discuss the volatile situation.

Cartagena, Colombia — Seeking to highlight the growing plight in Venezuela, Vice President Mike Pence is meeting with people who’ve fled the country to neighboring Colombia.
Pence is paying a visit to the Calvary Chapel in Cartagena, where he’s meeting with faith leaders and Venezuelan families before departing to Buenos Aires, Argentina, later Monday. His wife, Karen Pence, helped to lead a prayer circle, where she prayed for “comfort to the Venezuelan refugees.”
Pence’s visit comes as he tries to rally the region against Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro’s attempts to consolidate power.
Pence on Sunday evening denounced Maduro’s tactics and said the U.S. will not stand by as Venezuela “crumbles.”
Venezuelan officials have been firing back in a series of statements, with Information Minister Ernest Villegas denouncing U.S. meddling in Venezuela’s affairs as hypocritical on Twitter Monday.
“The US and its satellite in Bogota are trying to give classes in democracy to Venezuela while it provides cover for neo-Nazis in its own territory,” Villegas wrote, linking to photos of the recent deadly march in Charlottesville, Virginia, involving far-right groups.

Question: Manhunt expanded for suspect in Facebook video killing

CLEVELAND — Authorities in several states were on the lookout Monday for a man police say shot a Cleveland retiree collecting aluminum cans and then posted video of the apparently random killing on Facebook.
"He could be nearby. He could be far away or anywhere in between," FBI agent Stephen Anthony said on Day 2 of the manhunt for Steve Stephens, a 37-year-old job counselor for teens and young adults.
Police said Stephens killed Robert Godwin Sr., a 74-year-old former foundry worker, on Sunday.
Investigators said that Godwin was the only victim so far linked to Stephens, despite the suspect's claim in a separate video on Facebook that he killed over a dozen people.
Officers searched dozens of places around the city and spoke with the suspect by cellphone, police said.
Police Chief Calvin Williams warned residents to be careful as the go about their day.
Authorities also warned people in Pennsylvania, New York, Indiana and Michigan to be alert for Stephens, who was wanted on a charge of aggravated murder.
Law enforcement officials said that the last place his cellphone signal was tracked was in Erie, Pennsylvania, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) east of Cleveland, on Sunday afternoon.
And nine schools were locked down Monday in Philadelphia, a more than six-hour drive from Cleveland, as police investigated possible sightings of Stephens.
Godwin apparently was shot while out picking up cans in a plastic shopping bag, his daughter said.
"Not because he needed the money, it was just something he did," said 52-year-old Debbie Godwin. "That's all he was doing. He wasn't harming anyone."
She said her father, who had 10 children, was a gentle man with nothing mean about him. "We called him the junk man," she said. "He'd pick up things off the street and fix them. He picked up bikes and he fixed them."
The motive for the shooting wasn't entirely clear from the shaky video, in which Stephens told Godwin a woman's name and said, "She's the reason that this is about to happen to you." Godwin did not seem to recognize the woman's name.
The suspect then pointed a gun at Godwin, who shielded his face with the plastic bag.
The woman Stephens mentioned, Joy Lane, said in a text to CBS that "we had been in a relationship for several years. I am sorry that all of this has happened."
She also said Stephens was "a nice guy" who was generous to everyone and was "kind and loving" to her and her children.
Facebook said the video was posted after the killing but wasn't broadcast on Facebook Live as police initially indicated. The suspect did go live on the social media site at another point Sunday.
The video of the killing was on Facebook for about three hours before it was taken down. Stephens' Facebook page also was eventually removed.
"This is a horrific crime and we do not allow this kind of content on Facebook," the company said. "We work hard to keep a safe environment on Facebook, and are in touch with law enforcement in emergencies when there are direct threats to physical safety."
In the separate video, Stephens said: "I killed 13, so I'm working on 14 as we speak."
Police said they have not verified any other shootings or deaths.
Stephens worked at Beech Brook, a behavioral health agency headquartered in Pepper Pike, near Cleveland. He helped young people develop job skills and find employment, said Beech Brook spokeswoman Nancy Kortemeyer.
An extensive background check before he was hired turned up nothing worrisome, she said.
"We just hope Mr. Stephens is apprehended as quickly as possible so that no one else is injured," she said.
In one of the videos, Stephens could be seen holding up his employee identification and said: "I'm killing with my Beech Brook badge on, too."

Question: Bomb strapped to man explodes in NY subway

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

NEW YORK — A crude pipe bomb strapped to a man inspired by the Islamic State group went off Monday in a crowded subway corridor near Times Square, injuring the man, slightly wounding three others and snarling the rush-hour commute for hundreds of thousands of New York workers.
Surveillance cameras captured the man walking casually through the crowded passageway when the bomb suddenly went off at 7:20 a.m. amid a plume of white smoke, which cleared to show the man sprawled on the ground and commuters fleeing in terror. Investigators said it was not clear if the bomb was set off intentionally or went off prematurely.
“This was an attempted terrorist attack,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told reporters. “Thank God the perpetrator did not achieve his ultimate goals.”
The suspect, who was identified as 27-year-old Akayed Ullah, was being treated at a hospital for burns to his hands and abdomen. The others who were injured suffered ringing in the ears and headaches.
Law enforcement officials said Ullah was inspired by the Islamic State group but had apparently not had any direct contact with the group. The officials said he lives in Brooklyn and came to the U.S. from Bangladesh about seven years ago on a visa. They said he was speaking with investigators from his hospital bed.
A person briefed on the investigation said Ullah came to the U.S. on an F-4 visa, a preferential visa available for those with family in the U.S. who are citizens or permanent residents, and that he made the bomb in his Brooklyn apartment. They spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the blast.
Investigators were searching his apartment, interviewing witnesses and relatives and looking for surveillance footage that may show his movements in the moments before the attack.
The explosion, which happened in an underground passageway under 42nd Street between 7th and 8th avenues, triggered a massive emergency response by police and firefighters both above and below ground, tangling subway and bus service at the nearby Port Authority bus terminal.
Everything around Times Square was shut down, halting what would ordinarily be a bustling rush hour at the “Crossroads of the World.”
Authorities said the bomb was a low-tech explosive device attached to the man with Velcro and plastic ties. They were investigating how it was made.
A photo published by the New York Post showed a bearded man crumpled on the ground with his shirt apparently blown off and black soot covering his bare midriff. A police officer was holding the man’s hands behind his back. Another photo shown on cable channel NY1 showed the bearded suspect, wide-eyed, on a stretcher being loaded into an ambulance.
Elrana Peralta, a customer-service worker for Greyhound, said she works in the Port Authority terminal complex near where the blast happened but did not hear the explosion.
“All we could hear was the chaos,” she said. “We could hear people yelling, ’Get out! Get out! Get out!”’
John Miles, 28, from Vermont, was waiting for a bus to Massachusetts. He did not hear the blast either, but saw police react.
“I didn’t know what was going on. Officers were running around. I was freaking out,” he said. There was an announcement that people should take their bags and leave. “They didn’t incite panic. It was fairly orderly.”
White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders tweeted that President Donald Trump had been briefed on the explosion. Instead of commenting on the suspected terror attack, Trump sent a tweet at 9:17 a.m. criticizing a Sunday story in The New York Times that said he watched cable news television for at least four hours a day.
The blast came just weeks after eight people died in New York when another man, also said to be inspired by the Islamic State, drove a rented truck onto a bike path near the World Trade Center.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo said at a news conference following the attack that New Yorkers should be alert but go about their lives.
“Let’s go back to work,” he said. “”We’re not going to allow them to disrupt us.“

Question: The Worlds Most Popular Rugby League Website

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

Although reading this forum regularly, I had to register to be able to post on this subject - Albert Kelly WAS racially abused by a Hull 'fan' from the stand on Friday night.
We travel to most away matches and the children aged between 12 and 15 usually go into the singing middle whereas the adults prefer a better view to the side of the posts. After the fantastic first half during which Albert scored two tries( including the one where he kicked with either foot at pace was true class), the children came back to say one 'fan' kept adding a couple of his own words to the Albert Kelly songs which abuse him for the colour of his skin. One of these isn't a term you really hear nowadays and they had to ask what it meant. The children challenged this fan as to why are you saying that only to be told "if you don't like it, f*** off somewhere else".
On hearing this, he was challenged by some of our group, he didn't deny it and luckily for his health, was reported to and removed by Salford's stewards but not before scanning his id as they are obliged to because they report incidents like this to both Hull and the RFL.
I am disgusted that not only does this happen in 2017 but a Hull FC player by a Hull 'fan'AND in my opinion, our best player this season who has just scored two fantastic tries against second in the league and who
we are all pretty much resigned to 'enjoy him while he is here'.
I took a letter to the club on Monday for Adam Pearson asking him to remove this person from our club - if people feel that way, just don't sing, presumably they didn't celebrate any of his tries this season which add up to more than any other player in black and white this season. I thought we'd moved on as a society from late seventies when I first started going - the worrying thing is that 'fan' probably wasn't even born then!

Question: Iran kills the members of Sunni jihadist group in southeast | Reuters

LONDON Iranian forces killed three members of a Sunni Muslim jihadist group in the city of Chabahar on Wednesday and arrested five others, state media reported, as security forces stepped up measures to prevent militant attacks.Last week, suicide bombers and gunmen attacked parliament and Ayatollah Khomeini's mausoleum in Tehran, killing 17 people in what was an unprecedented security breach for the Islamic Republic.
Islamic State claimed responsibility and threatened more attacks against Iran's majority Shi'ite population, whom the hardline Sunni militants consider heretics.Iran has arrested almost 50 people in connection with the attacks. On Wednesday, state media reported that security forces had fought with members of Ansar al-Furqan, a militant Sunni group, in Chabahar, a city in southeastern Iran.
State media said three militants had been killed and five arrested. One security officer was also killed and one wounded. Authorities said they had found ammunition, explosive belts and weapons.
Ansar al-Furqan - or Partisans of the Criterion - is a Sunni group based in Sistan and Baluchestan province that has threatened to carry out suicide attacks on economic and military centres in revenge for the government's execution of Sunni prisoners.The group, which was formed by the merger of some Sunni Baluch insurgent groups in 2012, is not linked to Islamic State. But it has carried out periodic attacks on military and civilian targets, aiming to highlight what it says is discrimination against Iran's Sunni ethnic groups.

FILE IMAGE: YPG FIGHTERS
On February 3, fighters of the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) attacked several positions of the Turkish Army and its proxies from the Free Syrian Army (FSA) around the village of Ali Kar in the Bulbul district north of the city of Afrin. According to the Hawar News Agency (ANHA), YPG fighters killed five fighters of the Turkish Army and injured six others during the attack.
The YPG media wing also announced that its fighters had destroyed three tanks and armored vehicles of the Turkish Army in the villages of Heftar, Mamela and Shaltahti with ATGMs.

Meanwhile, Syrian opposition sources reported that the YPG had shelled the city of Azaz, located 15km east of Afrin, with seven rockets. At least four civilians were injured in the YPG’s rocket attack, according to the sources.
From its side, the Turkish-backed FSA confirmed that its fighters secured the village of Bilal Koy north of Afrin on February 2. Bilal Koy had witnessed clashes between FSA and YPG fighters since the beginning of the Turkish military operation in the Afrin area on January 20.
In the last two days the Turkish Army advance in Afrin area slowed down. This could be the result of the increased YPG resistance. The group uses new tactics and weapons, including ATGMs, in its defensive operations in the Afrin area.

Question: Jaguars bring back veteran linebacker Lerentee McCray

represent the article to find a fitting news title

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars are bringing back veteran linebacker Lerentee McCray.
McCray signed with the Jaguars on Monday. He had been an unrestricted free agent after signing a one-year deal with Jacksonville in 2017.
McCray says he's "been waiting to find a home and I'm excited to be back here and finish the unfinished business that we left last year."
The 6-foot-3, 249-pound McCray recorded a career-high nine special teams tackles in 13 games last season. He previously spent time with Buffalo and Green Bay after signing as an undrafted rookie with Denver in 2013.

The Cowboys continued cycling through players at the bottom of their roster on Wednesday. After releasing two players and signing one from their 90-man offseason roster on Tuesday, they created two more vacancies and filled all three on Wednesday.
The biggest addition was rumored on Tuesday, as the club brought back running back Darius Jackson, a former sixth-round pick from the 2016 draft. They also brought in defensive tackle Antwaun Woods and wide receiver Mekale McKay. To make room, Dallas jettisoned DeQuinton Osborne and offensive tackle Jay Robertson. On Tuesday they had released WR Malik Earl and linebacker Ed Shockley.
The team inked LB Eric Pinkins on Tuesday afternoon.

Question: SIMMONS: McDavid puts on a show

One of these days, Connor McDavid is bound to snap.
It has to happen, doesn’t it?
When he plays like this — dancing, singing, playing an instrmment, conducting the orchestra — and then not a single note registers on the night. Not a goal. Not an assist. Not a sound.
Nothing for hockey’s single most entertaining player.
This wasn’t just another of 82 NHL stops for McDavid in his third season. He doesn’t view it that way. This is home. This matters. This is where his people are. This is where his family and his old coaches and hockey friends come to see what they can get only on television. This is where he turns it up, just a notch — his level starts above the rest of the pack. This day, this night, this trip to the place he used to sit with his dad and watch games, means everything to him.
And that’s how he played it Sunday night in a circle-the-calendar night on the Oilers schedule. He played it like no one else can play it. With Bobby Orr in the building watching Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey, too.
There have been all kinds of special players in hockey history. But Orr, McDavid’s agent, Gretzky, his Edmonton mentor, and Coffey, whom he has come to know, were the kind of players you couldn’t take your eyes off. You followed them the way the way we normally follow the puck. And McDavid is the No. 1 attraction in hockey, carrying the puck from behind his own net the way Orr once did, and using a speed only Coffey can understand and then finding those open around him, the way only Gretzky could.
That was a McDavid Sunday night — maybe as great as he’s ever been, even some Edmonton front office people were saying that — and both he and his snakebit Oilers had nothing to show for it. They were somehow shut out by the outplayed Leafs, shut out by the backup goaltender, Curtis McElhinney, who did the Dominik Hasek thing for one night of his career.
McDavid did just about everything. He created offence. He set up players. He used his speed to make the Leafs look helpless. He hit goal posts. He hit cross bars. He hit men open in the slot. He had a five-point kind of night with no points on the scorecard and how long can you do this and not be ready to explode?
Especially from a night in which he was on the hook for so many local tickets and he quietly complained — as many of us have — about the cost of buying Leaf tickets. This was McDavid’s most expensive night of the season and he left nothing for chance, except an inability all around him to find a way to finish.,
“You want it to go on 5-10 minutes longer,” McDavid said afterwards, clearly shaken by the 1-0 defeat at the Air Canada Centre. “We didn’t have any luck tonight.”
Before that he said: “For a 1-0 hockey game, this was pretty entertaining.”
[protected-iframe id="4d914a0352df14ff6d9a5410ccb31d3c-126506751-127512401" info="https://www.nhl.com/oilers/video/embed/post-game-raw--connor-mcdavid/t-277437406/c-55611603?autostart=false" width="540" height="360"]
Of that, he was correct. For the Oilers, it was entertaining and heartbreaking. This was the best night of this Air Canada Centre season as pure entertainment, the game most fun to watch, the most surprising, the most entertaining. You watch this kind of game and you want to scream at the National Hockey League for its geography. Toronto and Edmonton play once a year here, once a year in Edmonton, and that’s it.
And even on a night when Auston Matthews was missing and the matchup was missing and the father and son who walked in wearing the jersey of one young star and the jersey of the other, you wished there was hockey like this every night.
The NHL doesn’t need bigger nets or more scoring or even smaller goaltending equipment to be great. It needs more Edmonton and Toronto games.
“Two pretty exciting teams when they’re going,” said Todd McLellan, the Oilers coach. It may happen one day in a Stanley Cup final. And if that doesn’t happen, we’ll all feel a little cheated along the way.
Gretzky never played Mario Lemieux in a playoff series. Sidney Crosby has yet to face Jonathan Toews. Matthews and McDavid: That would be hockey heaven, no matter what the result.
“You don’t get anything for being close,” said McDavid, knowing how far down the Oilers are in the standings, knowing that every loss comes with the notion they are one game further away from qualifying for the playoffs. “We were the better team.”
An NHL without McDavid in the playoffs is a poorer league than it was last April. But there are four months yet to figure this all out.
“This is nothing more than an Oilers-Leafs matchup,” he said before the game, even realizing those words didn’t necessarily ring true. It was more everything than just another game.
McDavid played it that way. He didn’t just put on a show Sunday night, he was the show.

Question: Nobel Peace Prize awarded to anti-nuclear campaign group

OSLO, Norway >> The Nobel Peace Prize was awarded Friday to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, a group of mostly young activists pushing for a global treaty to ban the cataclysmic bombs.
The award of the $1.1-million prize comes amid heightened tensions over both North Korea’s aggressive development of nuclear weapons and President Donald Trump’s persistent criticism of the deal to curb Iran’s nuclear program.
The prize committee wanted “to send a signal to North Korea and the U.S. that they need to go into negotiations,” Oeivind Stenersen, a historian of the peace prize, told The Associated Press. “The prize is also coded support to the Iran nuclear deal. I think this was wise because recognizing the Iran deal itself could have been seen as giving support to the Iranian state.”
The Geneva-based ICAN has campaigned actively for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons adopted by the United Nations in July, but which needs ratification from 50 countries. Only three countries have ratified it so far. It organized events globally in 2015 to mark the 70th anniversaries of the World War II U.S. atomic bombings of the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

Last month in Berlin, ICAN protesters teamed up with other organizations to demonstrate outside the U.S. and North Korean embassies against the possibility of nuclear war between the two countries. Wearing masks of Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, protesters posed next to a dummy nuclear missile and a large banner reading “Time to Go: Ban Nuclear Weapons.”
The group “has been a driving force in prevailing upon the world’s nations to pledge to cooperate ... in efforts to stigmatize, prohibit and eliminate nuclear weapons,” Norwegian Nobel Committee chairwoman Berit Reiss-Andersen said in the announcement.
The prize “sends a message to all nuclear-armed states and all states that continue to rely on nuclear weapons for security that it is unacceptable behavior. We will not support it, we will not make excuses for it, we can’t threaten to indiscriminately slaughter hundreds of thousands of civilians in the name of security. That’s not how you build security,” ICAN executive director Beatrice Fihn told reporters in Geneva.
She said that she “worried that it was a prank” after getting a phone call just minutes before the official Peace Prize announcement was made. Fihn said she didn’t believe it until she heard the name of the group proclaimed on television.
ICAN leaders later popped open some bubbly to celebrate the prize, and held up a banner with the name of the organization in their small Geneva headquarters.
“We are trying to send very strong signals to all states with nuclear arms, nuclear-armed states — North Korea, U.S., Russia, China, France, U.K., Israel, all of them, India, Pakistan — it is unacceptable to threaten to kill civilians,” she said.
Reiss-Andersen noted that similar prohibitions have been reached on chemical and biological weapons, land mines and cluster munitions.
“Nuclear weapons are even more destructive, but have not yet been made the object of a similar international legal prohibition,” she said.
Reiss-Andersen said “through its inspiring and innovative support for the U.N. negotiations on a treaty banning nuclear weapons, ICAN has played a major part in bringing about what in our day and age is equivalent to an international peace congress.”
Asked by journalists whether the prize was essentially symbolic, given that no international measures against nuclear weapons have been reached, Reiss-Andersen said “What will not have an impact is being passive.”
Jamey Keaten in Geneva, George Jahn in Vienna and Jim Heintz in Stockholm contributed to this story.

STOCKHOLM (AP) — An American scientist who shared this year’s Nobel Prize for medicine bluntly criticized political developments at home in his address at the awards’ gala banquet, saying that U.S. scientists are facing funding cutbacks that will hurt research.
Michael Rosbash, who was honored for his work on circadian rhythms — commonly called the body clock — expressed concern that U.S. government funding such as that received by him and Nobel colleagues Jeffrey Hall and Michael Young is endangered.
“We benefited from an enlightened period in the postwar United States. Our National Institutes of Health have enthusiastically and generously supported basic research … (but) the current climate in the U.S. is a warning that continued support cannot be taken for granted,” Rosbash said in a short speech Sunday night at Stockholm’s ornate city hall.
The 2018 federal budget proposed by President Donald Trump calls for cutting science funding by billions of dollars.
“Also in danger is the pluralistic America into which all three of us of born were born and raised after World War II,” Rosbash said. “Immigrants and foreigners have always been an indispensable part of our country, including its great record in scientific research.”
Literature laureate Kazuo Ishiguro of Britain expressed concern about increasing tensions between social factions.
“We live today in a time of growing tribal enmities of communities fracturing into bitterly opposed groups,” said Ishiguro, who was born in Japan.
He said Nobel prizes can counterbalance such animosity.
“The pride we feel when someone from our nation wins a Nobel prize is different from the one we feel witnessing one of our athletes winning an Olympic medal. We don’t feel the pride of our tribe demonstrating superiority over other tribes. Rather it’s the pride that from knowing that one of us has made a significant contribution to our common human endeavor,” he said.
In the Norwegian capital of Oslo, a survivor of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima compared her struggle to survive in 1945 to the objectives of the group awarded this year’s Nobel’s Peace Prize.
Setsuko Thurlow, who was 13 when the U.S. bomb devastated her Japanese city during the final weeks of World War II, spoke as a leading activist with the Nobel-winning International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons.
Thurlow said the Hiroshima blast left her buried under the rubble, but she was able to see light and crawl to safety. In the same way, the campaign to which she belongs is a driving force behind an international treaty to ban nuclear weapons, she said after ICAN received the Nobel prize it won in October.
“Our light now is the ban treaty,” Thurlow said. “I repeat those words that I heard called to me in the ruins of Hiroshima: ‘Don’t give up. Keep pushing. See the light? Crawl toward it.'”
The treaty has been signed by 56 countries — none of them nuclear powers — and ratified by only three. To become binding it requires ratification by 50 countries.
ICAN Executive Director Beatrice Fihn, who accepted the prize along with Thurlow, said that while the treaty is far from ratification “now, at long last, we have an unequivocal norm against nuclear weapons.”
“This is the way forward. There is only one way to prevent the use of nuclear weapons — prohibit and eliminate them,” Fihn said.
The prize winners were announced in October. All except the peace prize were awarded in Sweden on Sunday.
The other laureates were American Richard Thaler for his work in behavioral economics; American physicists Kip Thorne, Rainer Weiss and Barry Barish for confirming the existence of gravity waves; and Jacques Dubochet of Switzerland, American Joachim Frank and Richard Henderson of the United Kingdom for advances in electron microscopy.
