Question: Zimbabwe rugby team sleeps on street in Tunisia

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

HARARE, Zimbabwe — Rugby’s world governing body has intervened after Zimbabwe’s national team was forced to sleep on the street in Tunisia following problems with accommodation and visas.
World Rugby tweeted that “we are aware of an issue regarding the Zimbabwe team ahead of their Rugby Africa Gold Cup match on Saturday. We have received firm assurances from Rugby Africa that the issue has been quickly and effectively resolved.”
Zimbabwe’s rugby team, nicknamed the Sables, is in Tunisia for a test match in Beja that forms part of the 2019 World Cup qualifying campaign.
The Sables had landed in the North African country on Monday night directly from Kenya, where they narrowly lost 45-36.
The team was initially delayed for almost six hours at the airport in Tunis because it did not have the required 600 euros to pay for visas, and later declined to check into a hotel in Beja which the squad deemed substandard. Players then slept outside the same hotel.
In a joint statement, Rugby Africa and Tunisia Rugby Union said they “would like to express their sincere apologies to the Sables (Zimbabwe) team and management for this unfortunate situation ... We would like to reassure the Zimbabwean Ministry of Sports, Zimbabwe Rugby Union and all partners and fans that the situation was addressed immediately, and an acceptable solution has been found. Tunisia Rugby Union took the Sables management to visit another hotel, which was accepted.”
The Rugby Africa Gold Cup is the continent’s premier test rugby competition and the winner this year will automatically qualify for the World Cup in Japan next year.
Zimbabwe hired former Springbok coach Peter de Villiers earlier this year with the aim of qualifying for the World Cup for the first time since 1991. Zimbabwe drew 23-23 with Morocco at home before losing to Kenya.
Many in Zimbabwe, including former sports minister David Coltart, have accused Tunisian authorities of trying to unsettle the Sables ahead of Saturday’s match.
But the Zimbabwe Rugby Union has also faced criticism. It was accused of failing to pay player match fees and allowances, with loose forward Takudzwa Mandiwanza allegedly being heard to claim in a leaked audio recording that De Villiers had to use personal funds to buy the team a meal while they were stranded.
Gerald Mlotswa, head of the national team’s welfare committee, disputed the player’s reported claims.
“I hope that it was just the pure frustration of the situation in Tunisia that promoted his outburst in relation to allowance, and nothing else,” Mlotswa told The Associated Press on Wednesday. “The fact is that players are paid in arrears, like most people. The camp allowances and match fees from the Kenya game were paid on Monday. The camp fees and allowances for Tunisia will be paid the following Monday. It’s that simple.”
Six African countries — Zimbabwe, Namibia, Tunisia, Morocco, Kenya and Uganda — remain in the qualifying picture for the World Cup in Japan.
Namibia is firm favorite to progress automatically.

KINSHASA: Bournemouth striker Benik Afobe has pulled out of the African Nations Cup finals to stay with his Premier League team despite recently switching his allegiance from England to the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The Congolese football federation (Fecofa) on Monday confirmed Afobe's withdrawal from a 31-man preliminary squad, who have gathered in Yaounde, Cameroon for pre-tournament preparations.
"Afobe has forfeited from the tournament," said media officer Gerard-Desire Angengwa without offering any reason. British media reported that Afobe had told the Congolese coach Florent Ibenge he wished to consolidate his place in the Bournemouth starting line-up after scoring against Swansea City in a 3-0 away win on Saturday. "The manager showed faith in me by starting me and I wanted to repay him with a goal, so I'm happy," the 23-year-old told his club's website (www.afcb.co.uk) after the victory on New Year's eve.
"The goal was a great relief and a goal at a crucial time. The lads have been helping me a lot and I want to improve personally."
Afobe now has two goals in his last three starts for the Cherries but could be banned from playing for his club for the duration of the three-week tournament, which starts on Jan. 14, if the Congolese federation take up the issue with FIFA. Afobe's decision comes less than two months after receiving FIFA's permission belatedly to switch his international allegiance after previously playing for England at the under-21 level.
He was supposed to debut for the Congolese in November's World Cup qualifier at Guinea but was stymied when the Football Association sent his paperwork for the switch of nationality to the wrong federation, embarrassingly mixing up DR Congo with neighbouring Congo-Brazzaville. Afobe had been left frustrated after flying all the way to Africa to find he was not eligible to play, permission coming too late after the mix-up in London was discovered. DR Congo have a tough group at the tournament in Gabon, competing with holders Ivory Coast, Morocco and Togo in Group C. Their opening game is against Morocco in Oyem on Jan. 16.

Question: Truckers Line Up Under Bridge To Save Man Threatening Suicide

Represent this text to find a news title for it

A group of truck-driving good Samaritans answered a call to help save a man threatening to commit suicide by jumping off a freeway overpass on Tuesday.
Michigan State Police and local officials rounded up a group of 13 semitruck drivers to form a line below a bridge over a Detroit freeway — Interstate 696 — to significantly shorten the fall of the unnamed man if he had leaped.
He was first reported standing on the edge of the bridge above oncoming traffic just before 1 a.m., Lt. Mike Shaw, a Michigan State Police spokesman, told NPR.
Officers responded by closing down traffic across all six lanes heading in both directions.
"It's the first step in potential jumper situations," Shaw said, explaining that it helps calm down suicidal people, keeps cars driving below from crashing into each other and eliminates the possibility of anyone encouraging an unstable person to jump.
Next, troopers began sending semitruck drivers on a detour that re-routed them to end up below the overpass.
According to Shaw, that is standard protocol.
"It provides a safety net for the person in case they happen to lose their grip and fall or if they decide to jump," Shaw said. "With the trucks lined up underneath they're only falling about five to six feet as opposed 15 or 16."
After about two hours of engaging with officials the distressed man willingly backed off the edge and is receiving help, Shaw said.
"He was looking to take his own life but we were able to talk to him and find out what his specific trigger was and helped correct it," Shaw said.
In all, the ordeal lasted about three hours.
State police authorities posted a photo of the "truck wall" on Twitter using it as an opportunity to remind the public of help available 24 hours a day to anyone thinking about suicide.
"In that photo is a man struggling with the decision to take his own life. Please remember help is available through the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255," it read.

Acting Solwezi District Commissioner Christopher Nyungila has confirmed the development to ZANIS in Solwezi today.
Mr Nyungila said the hammer mills have been strategically located in areas with high maize productivity and population.
He named the areas to benefit from the solar powered hammer mills as Kakombe, Kyafukuma, Mbonge, Sandang’ombe, St Francis and Zangamenu.
Mr Nyungila said the hammer mills will not only create employment for the local people but will also provide a readily market for farmers to sale their maize and also lower the cost of mealie meal.
Meanwhile, Mr Nyungila says government has topped up e-voucher cards for 3,550 farmers out of the 3,934 who have deposited their K400 contribution for the 2017/2018 farming season.
He said 4,380 farmers have been authorized to deposit the K400 contribution out of the targeted number of 5,780 farmers in the district.
Mr Nyungila said the redeeming of inputs has been relatively slow because most farmers are giving incorrect national registration card numbers and passwords thereby being rejected by the system.
He has since appealed to farmers to ensure they submit correct details to agro dealers and redeem their inputs.

Question: SEC orders food review startup to shut down coin offering

represent this text to find a news title for it:

The SEC shut down plans by a startup food review site to raise money by selling digital tokens.
The startup planned what's known as an initial coin offering, an arrangement that is drawing increased scrutiny from the feds.
Munchee, based in San Francisco, was trying to raise $15 million to improve its app, but the SEC said that would have been similar to issuing securities without properly registering with regulators.
Munchee, a small company based in San Francisco, did not immediately respond to an email from CNNMoney.
According to the SEC, the company was trying to create what it called an ecosystem -- a marketplace where it could pay users in tokens for writing food reviews and sell advertising to restaurants.
The company told investors that they could expect the tokens to increase in value, and the company said it would help create a secondary market for the tokens, the SEC said.
The SEC said it would not seek a penalty against Munchee because the company shut down the coin offering quickly and returned the proceeds to investors without issuing tokens.
The company still had references to the offering on its website Monday, including a link to its "new decentralized block-chain based food review and social platform." But the links led to error pages.

Federal authorities, including the SEC's newly formed Cyber Unit, have been ramping up scrutiny of initial coin offerings, which function in a similar way to initial public offerings of stock. Coin offerings often receive investments in the form of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, which has soared to meteoric heights.
Last week, the SEC said it froze the assets of PlexCorps, a company that was running a coin offering for its own cryptocurrency called PlexCoins, and filed civil charges against Dominic Lecroix, the Canadian who was allegedly running it.

Question: Local coach readying Team Canada for Olympics

Members of Canada’s Olympic moguls mens and womens teams were training at Apex this week

Describing the training environment at Apex Mountain a “dream,” the Penticton head coach of the Canadian men’s moguls team says his guys are ready to rock the Olympics.
After spending the last 10 days on the local ski hill, Rob Kober, his coaching staff and team members boarded the 6 a.m. flight Thursday at Penticton Regional Airport on the first leg of their journey to Pyeongchang, South Korea and the XXIII Olympic Winter Games.
“It’s the perfect course up here on Kristi’s Run and we’ve been enjoying ideal conditions. I can’t imagine a better set up for a pre-Olympic camp,” said Kober who has been at the helm of Canada’s powerhouse for a dozen years. “The course here is ideal for adding intensity in a relatively safe environment, and we kind of fly under the radar so that helps minimize distractions.
“I think having that kind of environment where everything is ideal on the snow we can insulate the athletes and keep it fun, keep them well-fed and rested and we can do all that here.”
He credits the outstanding programs at Apex over the years for producing top calibre skiers like former Summerland Olympian Kristi Richards and Penticton’s Andi Naude, 22, who will be seeing her first action in the Olympics this year on the women’s team.
“I’m biased but I think Andi’s going to win,” said Kober, whose two sons Jordan and Josh and daughter Chloe are all involved in the sport. “Andi’s awesome, she’s awesome, can’t say enough good stuff about her, and right now she’s really peaking at the right time.
“I think Andi’s best stuff is the best stuff out there right now.”
Naude joined the national team at age 16 and narrowly missed the cut for the 2014 games in Sochi.
And for his part, if results are any indication of success, Kober is definitely on the right track.
The Canadian men finished one, two in the 2014 Olympics and the silver medalist that year, Mikaël Kingsbury, is back for his third try at a gold.
Kingsbury has been burning up the course on the World Cup this season and is favoured to wind up on the top shelf of the podium this time.
“Mik’s been on a terrific tear here for quite a while and hopefully will live up to those expectations,” said Kober.
The Canadian men suffered what he described as a “devastating” blow a couple weeks ago when their number-two guy, Philippe Marquis, tore his ACL at a World Cup event in Deer Valley, Utah.
The injury, however, has not kept the 28-year-old veteran off the skis.
“He trained last night at Apex and he looks great and he’s going to try, but it’s a pretty terrible injury,” said Kober. “It’s been done before but with no ACL it’s a pretty aggressive mission.”
With such a strong, experienced team the coach is not planning to come back home empty-handed.
“If I’m honest, nope,” he said about being satisfied without winning a medal. “To be successful we definitely need to come out there with some hardware, that’s for sure. At the same time, I would say how we handle failure — hopefully we won’t have to — but how we handle that will define our team as much as anything.”
He added: “For me, the way I think about our team, our program and any individual athlete is definitely not going to be defined by the results from any one event, whether it’s the Olympic Games or anything else.”
The teams will begin training in Pyeongchang on Feb. 5 with both the men’s and women’s first qualifying rounds going at night on Feb 8.
The women’s second qualifying round and finals will be Feb. 11 and the men’s second qualifying and finals are Feb. 12.

Question: Lawmaker injured in congressional baseball practice shooting says he’ll play in Thursday game

Saul Loeb/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Despite sustaining an injury at Wednesday morning’s shooting at a GOP congressional baseball team practice in northern Virginia, Rep. Chuck Fleischmann told ABC News that he would be joining his fellow lawmakers to play in Thursday’s annual charity game.
“We’re all Americans. We all love this country. And I hope that, out of this tragedy, we can actually bring together some unity, some common ground,” the Tennessee Republican told ABC News anchor David Muir.
Five people, including the gunman, who was killed, and House Majority Whip Steve Scalise of Louisiana, were shot in Wednesday’s attack. The lawmakers were practicing in Alexandria’s Del Ray neighborhood in Virginia. Fleischmann injured his right hand as he desperately tried to avoid being shot.
Fleischmann told the World News Tonight anchor that he was preparing to leave the baseball field after practice when he heard “one, single, loud pop.”
“I didn’t realize at first it was a gunshot,” he said. “Very shortly thereafter there was a barrage of shots. It was sickening. It was saddening. And there were a lot of shots — easily 30 to 50, maybe more.”
Fleischmann said he immediately got on the ground and ended up in the dugout. That’s where he and others were hurt as everyone dove into the dugout to avoid the gunfire.
He told Muir that he later found out that the suspect, identified by authorities later today as James Hodgkinson, 66, of Belleville, Illinois, had actually passed him at one point.
Authorities said police returned fire on Hodgkinson. He later died at a hospital from his injuries.
“I was very fortunate not to have been shot,” Fleischmann said. “The Capitol Police did a tremendous job. … It’s just a very, very sad day.”

Question: California to sue Trump administration over sanctuary policy

FILE PHOTO: San Francisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera, third from left, with Jesse Smith, Chief Assistant City Attorney, Ron Flynn, Chief Deputy City Attorney and Mayor Ed Lee, announces he has filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump for his unconstitutional executive order targeting sanctuary cities during a news conference at city Hall in San Francisco, California, U.S., January 31, 2017.
SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - California plans to file a lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Justice over federal restrictions on some law enforcement grants to so-called sanctuary cities, a spokesperson for California's attorney general office said on Monday.
The city of San Francisco filed its own lawsuit against the department late last week, saying the federal government has improperly sought to force local jurisdictions to enforce national immigration law by imposing funding conditions.
President Donald Trump issued a broad executive order in January targeting wide swaths of federal funding for cities that generally offer illegal immigrants safe harbor by declining to use municipal resources to enforce federal immigration laws.
However, a San Francisco judge drastically limited the scope of that policy.
The Justice Department has sought to impose conditions on a national grant for local law enforcement that mandates access to local jails for federal immigration officials, as well as 48 hours notice before releasing anyone wanted for immigration violations.
California's planned lawsuit challenging those conditions, as well as San Francisco's case, is similar to a legal challenge filed last week by the city of Chicago.
In a statement on Monday, California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said the state, not the federal government, is best suited to determine how best to allocate its law enforcement resources.
"When President Trump threatened to defund our local law enforcement's ability to do its job and protect our people, he picked the wrong fight," Becerra said.
A Justice Department spokesman could not immediately be reached for comment.

Question: Taliban 'talking and fighting,' says U.S. commander in Afghanistan

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan played down a spate of recent Taliban attacks on Wednesday, saying violence levels were still lower than average as some insurgents talked peace - a situation he described as “talking and fighting.”
U.S. Army General John Nicholson, commander of Resolute Support forces and U.S. forces in Afghanistan, walks with Afghan officials during an official visit in Farah province, Afghanistan May 19, 2018. Picture taken May 19, 2018. REUTERS/James Mackenzie
“You see mid-level, senior-level Taliban leaders engaging with Afghans,” said Army General John Nicholson, adding that a lot of the diplomatic activity was taking place “off the stage.”
Nicholson’s remarks came the same day that gunmen armed with assault rifles and grenade launchers attempted to penetrate the heavily fortified headquarters of the Afghan interior ministry, battling security forces for more than two hours in the latest attack on the capital Kabul.
The attack was a reminder of the challenges facing U.S.-backed Afghan forces even after 16 years of war, including in the capital Kabul. Last month, two explosions in Kabul killed at least 26 people, including nine journalists.
Nicholson said initial indications suggested Taliban and the Haqqani network were behind the attack, even though Islamic State claimed responsibility.
In his remarks to Pentagon reporters, Nicholson sought to underscore data and events he said point to forward progress in America’s longest war. Critics warn the U.S.-backed Afghan army cannot promise to defeat the Taliban or overcome Afghanistan’s vast political divisions and entrenched corruption.
More than 2,400 U.S. forces have died in the conflict.
Nicholson pointed to unreleased data showing a 30 percent decline in attacks initiated by the insurgents between February and April, compared with the average over the previous five years. Attacks increased after the Taliban announced their spring offensive on April 25 but the violence was still 10 to 12 percent lower, he said.
U.S. officials in recent years have declined to offer data on levels of attacks initiated by insurgents, saying that the United States no longer had a big enough intelligence gathering operation in Afghanistan to publish reliable estimates.
Nicholson acknowledged much of his data drew upon the Afghan government’s estimates, which the U.S. government has long considered less reliable. But when pressed during the news briefing, Nicholson said he was still confident in the trend suggested by the data.
“If this were a matter of a few percentage points, I’d have less confidence,” he said.
He also drew comparisons to Colombia, where insurgents from the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and government forces were fighting before a 2016 peace agreement.
Still, many experts say there are huge differences between the Colombian and Afghan conflicts.
“The idea that we’re making the same kind of progress (as in Colombia) is grasping at straws for justification,” said Jason Dempsey, an adjunct senior fellow at the Center for New American Security think-tank who deployed twice to Afghanistan.
Nicholson highlighted a grassroots “peace movement,” which he said was not aligned to any party in Afghanistan’s nearly 17-year-old conflict. He said it has held events in 20 Afghan provinces, calling for ceasefires and peace talks.
“And this has never happened before in Afghanistan, to my knowledge, over 20 provinces,” he said.
Asked about how this would affect the U.S. mission in Afghanistan, Nicholson said: “The end state of the policy is to achieve a reconciliation.”

KABUL: There is no military solution to the conflict in Afghanistan that is forcing record numbers of people from their homes, United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres said on Wednesday, during an unannounced visit to the war-torn country. Guterres' first visit as secretary general comes as the Afghan government faces internal turmoil, insurgents make gains nationwide and the international military coalition mulls plans to send thousands more troops to help struggling Afghan forces.

Question: New Queens Bike Lane Poses Danger To Drivers, Some Say

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Some residents in Douglaston, Queens, say a new bike lane is an accident waiting to happen.
Last week, the city installed the bike lane on heavily traveled Northern Boulevard between Douglaston Parkway and the Cross Island Parkway. It’s protected by a concrete divider, which some some say has led to accidents, including one Thursday.
“This is like a highway,” Lawrence Glynn told CBS2’s Scott Rapoport. “You might as well put a bike lane of the Long Island Expressway if you’re going to do this.”
The problem, opponents say, is that some motorists traveling along Northern Boulevard don’t know there’s a bike lane ahead, as the road narrows from three lanes to two. The bike lane and concrete divider appear to come out of nowhere, critics say.
There are no warning signs posted.
State Sen. Tony Avella said the bike lane is dangerous and needs to be scrapped.
“I think this is a nightmare,” he said.
Avella said the city Department of Transportation installed bright orange cones in front of the concrete barriers just Friday morning.
The senator said his office has received reports of four accidents there since the lane was installed, reports he is still trying to confirm. He said you can see scrape marks on the divider from where cars have apparently hit it.
“All of a sudden, you’re coming around a curve, and you’re hitting a concrete barrier,” he said.
DOT Commissioner Polly Trottenberg defended the project, saying it’s a work in progress.
CBS2 showed her a video taken from the perspective of a driver coming down Northern Boulevard and approaching the bike line, and asked her if she thought it looked safe.
“I can’t really tell from your video, but in general, as I say, these projects have really enhanced safety everywhere we’ve done them in the city,” she said.
Cyclists, for their part, told CBS2 they love the new bike lane.
“It’s fantastic,” said Richard Ammirati. “Whoever thought of it, congratulations.”
Avella said the community board in the area wants the bike lane replaced with a lane built onto an expanded sidewalk off the road. Trottenberg said that would take too much time and money and that the current bike lane provides safety for cyclists now.
Avella has written to Mayor Bill de Blasio and Trottenberg voicing his concerns and urging them to build what he calls a safer bicycle lane.

Question: Unleashing Big Water Potential

By Carmen Kurtz
The Canadian near-frozen north has been steadily gaining a reputation as the place for big-water hungry kayakers. Melting snowpack fueled by spring sun or spring showers sees the rivers of eastern Ontario and northern Quebec rising to create raging big water and monstrous surf waves. It’s the Promised Land for whitewater kayaking.
“People came from all over. Everyone knows the reputation of Quebec and Canada in the spring; it’s the biggest and sickest whitewater in the world.” —Bren Orton
Some kayakers travel north searching for waves to surf, willing to literally “stakeout” for prime water levels. But in recent years, with increased knowledge of snowmelt patterns and the characteristics of different rivers and rapids, there has been a slight shift from soul surfing and wave hunting to multi-stage whitewater kayaking competitions.
FOUR STAGES
Following the highly progressive format of the late Whitewater Grand Prix (WWGP), a new collective of whitewater rippers calling themselves SEND, have taken the torch from the WWGP creating Unleashed, a new multi-stage kayak comp. Held from April 28 to May 7, the SEND crew (Bren Orton, Adrian Mattern, Dane Jackson and Kalob Grady) invited some of the top big-wave kayakers to taste the north. Over the course of the 10-day competition, 15 men and five women would battle it out for cumulative points in four stages of the event to determine the best all-round kayaker.
“The whole aim of the event is to find the best all round whitewater kayaker in the world.” —Bren Orton
The event premiered this year with the three-trick freestyle stage at the Ruins on the Ottawa River, followed by a big-water boatercross race on the flooded Rouge River in Quebec. Big water and a homemade giant slalom course on the Basse Cachée River (just outside of Quebec City), saw the competitors taking lines and hitting eddies that added an extra challenge to the already huge run. And finally, the wrap-up event was a 10-trick freestyle comp on the newly discovered Molly wave on the Mistassibi River.

INVITE ONLY
With the freedom that comes from being unattached to large sponsorship, the event was self-funded, asking each athlete for a $50 CAD entry fee that went directly to prize money, as well as leaving each athlete responsible for food, travel and accommodation. Kayakers were invited to attend the event only after the organizers went through applications. The water here is real big and real cold. “This type of whitewater is just not for everyone,” says organizer and big-wave Brit Bren Orton.
“The application and invitation process is to ensure no one gets in over their head. I want to know that someone will nail the line, or they won’t get on the water.” —Bren Orton
Competitors also provided safety for each other during the event as well as contributed to media, furthering the simplicity of Unleashed as a grassroots event.
TO BE ANNOUNCED
For a competition this innovative, being fluid and adaptable was key. The location of each event was decided on the day of, or just days before the event itself. Very much in the style of Stakeout, Unleashed gave organizers lots of time to predict and scout for the best event location based on fluctuating water levels. “Most of the other kayak comps I’ve done, you know where they will take place and you know what the water levels will be,” says big-wave up-and-comer and second place finisher Brooke Hess. Unleashed had a rolling plan that would give athletes at least a day of practice or rest in between stages, which is necessary given the beatings bodies take on water this fast and big. Progression means pushing yourself, and for some, like Hess, it was their first time surfing some of these northern giants.
“It was a way for me to push my own paddling, by paddling and competing with the best big wave paddlers in the world.” —Brooke Hess
DANE AND DARBY DOMINATE
Using a points system based on each athlete’s finishing position in each event, Dane Jackson and Darby McAdams came away with the wins. Unleashed tested kayakers in a number of disciplines of big-water paddling and created their own scoring system for the freestyle components, placing an emphasis on amplitude, style and use of the wave. The camaraderie of competing while encouraging and looking out for each other was another unique aspect of this event.
“More of a supportive atmosphere vs. competitive atmosphere” —Brooke Hess
TO BE CONTINUED
Executing the inaugural event without a hitch, the Send boys plan for Unleashed to have a long shelf life. “Oh yeah, we are gonna try and make it happen every year,” says Orton. “The annual event in Quebec will always be the plan but we want to bring it to other countries as well.” Uganda is high on the list for a similar style Unleashed event, and more rivers will be added to the hit list.
Unleashed was an event run by kayakers, for kayakers with the main focus on having a good time while progressing the sport of big-wave freestyle. “It was honestly just a fairy tale start to finish,” says Orton. “We got the best water levels we could hope for and people were just so on board.” Let the dream live on and let the progression on big waves continue.

Question: Gerresheimer says customers holding off orders amid U.S. uncertainty

FRANKFURT, April 6 German drugs-packaging firm Gerresheimer on Thursday said its major pharmaceutical customers had been more cautious in placing orders due to uncertainty over the new U.S. administration's policies.
Revenues at its business division that makes glass bottles and vials for drugs fell 2.9 percent in its fiscal first quarter through the end of February as sales in North America slipped, it said.
Overall revenues were down more than 5 percent at 302.8 million euros ($323.1 million), missing analyst consensus of 307 million euros in a Reuters poll.
The group stuck with full-year guidance for revenues at the lower end of a range from 1.405 billion to 1.455 billion euros. Analysts on average see 2017 revenues of 1.43 billion euros.

Question: Stunt driver dies while filming ‘Deadpool 2’ in Vancouver

Represent the article to find a fitting news title:

VANCOUVER, British Columbia (AP) — “Deadpool 2” star Ryan Reynolds is mourning the death of a motorcycle stunt driver killed during production Monday.
Reynolds released a statement on Twitter a few hours after the accident near the waterfront in downtown Vancouver, British Columbia.
“Today, we tragically lost a member of our crew while filming Deadpool,” the actor wrote. “We’re heartbroken, shocked and devastated… but recognize nothing can compare to the grief and inexplicable pain her family and loved ones must feel in this moment.”
Reynolds said his heart “pours out to them — along with each and every person she touched in this world.”
The motorcycle crash happened near the Shaw Tower office building, where a crumpled motorcycle was seen lying on its side and a window was smashed.
Nathan Kramchynski, who works on the seventh floor of Shaw Tower, said he watched rehearsals of the stunt outside the Vancouver Convention Centre. The stunt woman had been riding the motorcycle down a set of stairs from the center and stopped when she reached the street, he said.
But when the accident happened, the driver appeared to pick up speed, crossed the street and swerved to avoid pedestrians before disappearing from his view, Kramchynski said.
“She lost control really quickly. It happened in a split second,” he said. “She was going full throttle and then there’s a building there.”
Another witness, Sharmina Kermalli, said she had just walked into a Starbucks next door to where the accident happened when she heard a loud crash. She ran outside and saw glass still falling on the body of the motorcycle driver.
The name of the stunt woman was not immediately released.
Police said officers were at the scene and investigators for WorkSafeBC, the provincial workplace safety agency, were also looking into the crash.
Reynolds, a native of Vancouver, plays the title role of Deadpool, who is a Marvel Comics superhero.
“We are deeply saddened by the accident that occurred on the set of ‘Deadpool 2’ this morning. Our hearts and prayers are with the family, friends and colleagues of our crew member during this difficult time,” said a spokesman for 20th Century Fox.
A stuntman was fatally injured last month in Georgia during production of “The Walking Dead.” He fell head-first onto concrete about 22 feet (7 meters) below after appearing to try to grab a railing to stop his fall.

As a federal politician who rubs elbows with Canada’s who’s who on Parliament Hill, Bob Zimmer isn’t one to get star-struck — but an unexpected encounter with ‘The Dude’ can change all that.
“Being in the public eye myself, I know people don’t really like to be bothered,” said the Conservative MP for Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies. “But how can you not say hi to Jeff Bridges?”
Zimmer says he was doing some shopping on Alberni Street in Vancouver last weekend when he ran into the 68-year-old Oscar winner, who is in town filming Bad Times at the El Royale.
“I was coming out of Brooks Bros after buying a couple of shirts and I saw this guy who looked a lot like Jeff Bridges,” Zimmer said. “He was a nice guy and we had good conversation. Taller than I thought.”
Bad Times at the El Royale, which also stars Chris Hemsworth, Dakota Johnson and Russell Crowe, filmed a scene in Agassiz earlier this week and Bridges posed for photos with some Fraser Valley fans as well.

The movie, a violent thriller set in a dilapidated Lake Tahoe hotel, was shooting Friday inside Vancouver’s Beatty Street Drill Hall, which has reportedly been turned into a FBI office for the film.
Production started Jan. 29 and is expected wrap up April 6.
The movie, written and directed by Drew Goddard whose credits include Cloverfield, The Cabin in the Woods, The Martian and Netflix’s Daredevil, is expected to hit theatres on Oct. 5.
CHRIS PRATT SUPERHERO MOVIE TO BE SHOT IN VANCOUVER
Not content with being part of just one comic book franchise, Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt has signed on to star in Cowboy Ninja Viking, a graphic novel adaptation that is expected to begin shooting in Vancouver in June.
Pratt will play Duncan, a man with a multiple personality disorder, who gets transformed into a super-soldier with the attributes of a cowboy, a ninja, and a viking.
Vancouver’s own Michelle MacLaren, who has directing and producing credits on some of television’s greatest shows including Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Westworld and The Walking Dead, will helm the feature film blockbuster for Universal Pictures.
OSCAR ISAAC RUMOURED TO JOIN ADDAMS FAMILY
Oscar Isaac, best known for his role as the Rebel pilot Poe Dameron in Star Wars – The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, has been tied to the role of patriarch Gomez Addams in the animated reboot of The Addams Family, which is being produced at Vancouver’s Cinesite Studios.
Animation veteran Conrad Vernon, who directed Seth Rogen’s Sausage Party, will helm The Addams Family feature, which has been assigned a release date of Oct. 11, 2019.
Cinesite Studios, meanwhile, has appointed Tara Kemes general manager of its Vancouver feature animation studio. The UBC grad, who previously worked for rival Rainmaker Entertainment, is also an animation instructor at Vancouver Film School.
LOVE BUG REBOOT
Herbie, everybody’s favourite anthropomorphic Volkswagen Beetle, is returning to television.
Disney XD will begin production on its Herbie: The Love Bug series in Vancouver on Feb. 19. The show will shoot under the production code name Fast Layne.
Herbie first hit the big screen in 1968 with the release of The Love Bug starring Dean Jones and Michelle Lee. It was huge hit for Disney and ended up spawning five sequels, the last one being 2005’s Herbie: Fully Loaded starring Lindsay Lohan.
THE PREDATOR RESHOOT
Production on The Predator, writer/director Shane Black’s sequel to the 1987 Arnold Schwarzenegger classic Predator, is returning to Vancouver to shoot some additional photography after wrapping up filming here last June.
The movie, which boasts an amazing cast that includes Boyd Holbrook (Narcos). Olivia Munn (The Newsroom), Sterling K. Brown (The People v. O.J. Simpson), Trevante Rhodes (Midnight), Keegan-Michael Key (Key and Peele), Jacob Tremblay (Room) and Thomas Jane (Hung), will hit theatres on Aug. 3.

Dear Amy: My boyfriend and I have been on/off for the last five years.
During the time we were apart, he had another girlfriend. I didn’t know about her. He and I maintained a “friends with benefits” relationship during our breaks.
After I became pregnant with his child, I found out that they were very serious. I learned that she was pregnant, too. Our sons were born nine days apart.
They are no longer together, and he and I are trying to work things out, but I can’t seem to let their relationship go.
I know that Facebook isn’t “life,” but it bothers me that their entire relationship was broadcast on FB, but he won’t even acknowledge us as being in a relationship.
He has never posted a picture of us or of our son.
He says he’s ashamed of himself (not of me), but I can’t help but feel like he’s not being truthful. I think he’s ashamed of me.
He tells me all the time: “You’re not her,” which makes me feel like he wishes he wasn’t with me. He says I’m being insecure, and that he’s never going to care about Facebook.
I just don’t get why he could care about his Facebook status when he was with her, but not with me?
Am I being stupid?
— Worried
Dear Worried: When you ask me if you’re being “stupid,” you run the risk of supplying me with a descriptor I’d rather not apply to a woman with a young child. However, this whole situation is unfortunate — because Rome is burning and you’re worried about your Facebook status.
I do agree that this status is a sign of where your guy’s priorities are, and while I’m not inclined to side with him, I do appreciate his embarrassment over fathering two babies (days apart) with two different women. Yes, he should feel embarrassed. He deceived both women (I imagine), and now his ability to be a good parent to both of his sons is compromised because one baby’s mother is insecure and threatened by the other. This impedes his ability to be present in his sons’ lives.
Your guy is not in charge of Facebook. You should post whatever photos you want the world to see. When people start to realize that your partner has two sons the same age with different women, he (and you) will face some questions.
Please understand that parenthood will not magically change your guy’s character. You should get all of your legal, custodial and financial ducks in a row regarding the child, encourage this man to be a good father to both of his children, but understand that he may not intend to lead a monogamous life.
Dear Amy: My “adult” 23-year-old son is home for the holidays.
He leads a more liberal lifestyle than my husband and me, and suffice it to say not only do our politics not match up, but neither do our hygiene practices.
To be blunt, his BO is killing us! I didn’t raise him this way and I absolutely can’t stand it.
I just can’t embrace not showering daily and not using a daily dose of antiperspirant.
How do you address an awkward and difficult topic with a person who is also awkward and difficult?
— Mother of the Smelly Kid
Dear Mother: I assume you have heard the term “adulting.” This is a recently minted verb to describe the process that people in their 20s are now undertaking to finally exit their lengthy childhoods. Adulting refers to assuming some life skills, such as doing dishes, paying bills, and — yes, cleaning oneself.
I’m assuming that you did teach your son these skills, but your fear of mentioning this now indicates that you are actually afraid to relate to him both as a parent and as a fellow adult.
(This doesn’t have anything to do with your politics — or his — by the way.)
Tell your son, “We love having you home. But you’ve got to wash yourself — and your clothes — while you’re here. Let me show you how to use the washer, and let’s put in a load.”
Dear Readers: My own life is probably a lot like yours. I’ve experienced poverty, prosperity, marriage, divorce, remarriage, step-parenting, caretaking, loss and grief. If you’ve ever been curious about the life behind the advice column, I hope you’ll consider picking up my memoir, “Strangers Tend to Tell Me Things: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Coming Home.” (2017, Hachette).

Question: AP source: Dolphins add Trey Griffey, son of Ken Griffey Jr.

Represent this text to find a news title for it

MIAMI — A person familiar with the deal says the Miami Dolphins have signed undrafted free agent receiver Trey Griffey, the son of Hall of Fame baseball player Ken Griffey Jr.
The person confirmed the agreement to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Monday because the Dolphins had not announced the signing or contract terms.
Griffey had 79 catches for 1,241 yards and six touchdowns in four seasons at Arizona. A centre fielder in baseball, he was drafted in the 24th round of the 2016 draft by the Seattle Mariners but opted to stay with football.
The Indianapolis Colts signed Griffey after the April draft, but he was waived-injured in June.
At least five Dolphins receivers — none of them starters — have been slowed by injuries during training camp.

The Dolphins have a glaring need for a starting linebacker and a rotational defensive tackle, but here’s the quandary:
Do you pay big money at that position when you could potentially find a better — and cheaper — option in the first two days of the draft?
To this point, the Dolphins have been reluctant to do so.

▪ Defensive tackle: The big issue is not only how to replace Ndamukong Suh’s production (he graded out among the NFL’s best defensive tackles) but also how to replace his 877 snaps, which were the sixth-most among NFL defensive tackles last season.
William Hayes will pick up some of those; the Dolphins plan to play him at both defensive end and defensive tackle, according to a Hayes associate briefed on the team’s plans.
Jordan Phillips’ snaps will rise at least somewhat from 401 a year ago. He averaged 31 snaps in his 13 games.
Phillips, even before Suh’s release, told me he wants to prove he’s worthy of being a three-down player, and the Dolphins like how he played in the second half of last season. They also believe he will be highly motivated in the final year of his rookie contract.
Davon Godchaux (500 snaps) and Vincent Taylor (185) also will be given a chance to earn larger roles.
The Dolphins are comfortable with Phillips, Godchaux and Hayes — and see upside in Taylor — but know there must be an addition here.

That player could come in the draft. Washington’s Vita Vea is in the mix for Miami at No. 11, and Alabama’s Da’Ron Payne, Michigan’s Maurice Hurst, Florida’s Taven Bryan and Stanford’s Harrison Phillips are being studied closely by Miami.
“I think interior defensive line at the high end is outstanding,” NFL Network’s Mike Mayock said. “I think at least four are going to go [in the first round] — Vita Vea, Payne, Maurice Hurst, and Taven Bryan. Harrison Phillips from Stanford is an interesting player. B.J. Hill from North Carolina State.”
The Dolphins don’t want to spend big money at defensive tackle and they weren’t in the mix for Dontari Poe or Sheldon Richardson.
Two starters who were cut by AFC South teams over the weekend — Jonathan Hankins and Sylvester Williams — warrant consideration, but only at the right price.
As of late last week, the Dolphins hadn’t inquired about free agent starters such as Minnesota’s Tom Johnson or Cincinnati’s Pat Sims. Along with Bennie Logan, those five are pretty much the extent of clear-cut starters available at defensive tackle in free agency.
Veteran backup types available include Arthur Jones, Clinton McDonald, Ahtyba Rubin, Cedric Thornton and Shamar Stephen.
Veteran defensive tackles are seemingly always available during the summer. So a case could be made to see what the draft yields before investing a lot of money on a player who might not crack their top three rotation at tackle.

Dolphins insider Armando Salguero breaks down NFL free agency during a Facebook Live stream from Miami Herald studios on Tuesday, March 13, 2018. Miami Herald Staff
▪ Linebacker: The Dolphins know they need to find a third starter alongside Kiko Alonso and Raekwon McMillan, preferably one who excels in pass coverage.
That player could come early in the draft, if the Dolphins land Georgia’s Roquan Smith, Virginia Tech’s Tremaine Edmunds or Boise State’s Leighton Vander Esch or Alabama’s Rashaan Evans. They also like South Carolina State’s Darius Leonard and will spend time with his this week.
That’s why Miami hasn’t bid for the top free agent linebackers who have signed elsewhere — from Tahir Whiteside to Zach Brown to Preston Brown.
There are plenty of others available with starting experience: NaVorro Bowman, Conner Barwin, Kevin Minter, Ramon Hubner, Jon Bostic, Junior Galette, Pernell McPhee, Michael Wilhoitte and Paul Worrilow.
The Dolphins like what they saw from Chase Allen and Stephone Anthony and they will be given a chance to earn playing time. Mike Hull, who was tendered, remains valuable on special teams.
The Dolphins are set at defensive end but will add a third safety (they haven’t re-signed Michael Thomas, who visited the Steelers on Monday and left without a contract) and likely will add another cornerback to join the emerging top four of Xavien Howard, Cordrea Tankersley, Tony Lippett and Bobby McCain.
Young defensive backs Maurice Smith (safety) and Torry McTyer (cornerback) will get a look, and Walt Aikens — who can play safety or corner — was resigned to remain a key cog on special teams.

So here's what will happen in the world of tennis in 2017 in a season that will feature a comeback for veteran stars Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal.
Federer to make a slam final ...
At Wimbledon, where he has won a record-equaling seven titles.
Federer has some work to do to return to the top five, given his inactivity since deciding to end his season in July . But, if reports are to be believed, the Swiss legend is in great shape as he trains in Dubai.
Motivation remains sky high for Federer -- the 35-year-old plans on playing a couple more seasons -- and even when injured he came close to reaching the final at Wimbledon.
We're celebrating the 13th anniversary of the RF Foundation. Some reflections on what has been an impactful journey: https://t.co/rOAKILGYVx — Roger Federer (@rogerfederer) December 16, 2016
If Federer, the men's leader with 17 majors, makes the final and plays defending champion Andy Murray, his chances would appear to be good. Federer has won five straight matches against Scotland's two-time Olympic gold medalist and new world No. 1.
No new men's winners
Grigor Dimitrov. Kei Nishikori. Milos Raonic. By now, some would have expected at least one of the trio to have won a grand slam.
The "Big Four" of Federer, Nadal, Murray and Novak Djokovic, however, continue to reign supreme, with Stan Wawrinka adding to a superlative quintet. Advances in recovery, nutrition and training mean those five players are able to sustain their high levels for longer periods.
Since the beginning of 2010 -- 28 majors ago -- only six players aside from the quintet have appeared in a grand slam final, including Raonic at Wimbledon this year and Nishikori at the US Open in 2014.
Expect the dominance of those five to continue and don't expect any new men's grand slam winners.

Serena to win two majors
Several women's pros said last year that Angelique Kerber's win over Williams at the Australian Open gave them the belief that they too could topple the American. Kerber added a second major at the US Open.

If Williams' aura has faded slightly, she certainly wasn't far off winning three majors in 2016 instead of the one title she secured at Wimbledon.
At 35 such physical issues aren't a surprise but Williams should return to the circuit refreshed and with less pressure than 11 months ago when the California native had to back up a sensational 2015 season that saw her come within two wins of achieving a calendar year grand slam.
She won Wimbledon, the Australian and French Open titles in that year but went out in the semifinal of the US Open.
Kerber to add to slam collection
Is Kerber, who ended Williams' stay at No. 1 in September, a one-year wonder destined to fade in 2017? Her game, and the current WTA landscape, suggest not.

The German left-hander is no longer a defensive player largely retrieving at the back of the court. Rather, aggression has slowly but surely found its way into the 28-year-old's game. She is also competing better than ever.
And with the pregnant Victoria Azarenka off the tour for a while longer and Sharapova not back from her drug suspension until late April -- with the Russian needing time to return to form -- Kerber will, if healthy, remain in the top two for a while yet.
Based on her matches with Williams in 2016, tennis fans surely want the rivalry to intensify. Their two encounters at the Australian Open and Wimbledon were classics.
Nadal to win 15th major
Those who have wanted Nadal to add to his coaching setup got their wish last month when Carlos Moya joined the 14-time grand slam winner's team.
Moya -- apart from being a former world No. 1 and grand slam winner himself -- was Nadal's mentor. Like the "King of Clay, he hails from the island of Mallorca in Spain.
Nadal is hoping for a spike in results, similar to those Djokovic and Murray experienced when working with grand slam winners Boris Becker and Ivan Lendl respectively.
Working against Nadal, though, is his age -- at 30 he is a year older than Murray and Djokovic -- and has suffered an array of injuries.
A wrist complaint scuppered his 2016 season after appearing to be in form. He had rediscovered his confidence early in the clay-court season.
But Nadal, for the time being, is healthy, and the arrival of Moya -- who was alongside Raonic as the Canadian reached a career high third in in the rankings -- will only be a boost. He is reportedly practicing well in the off-season.
Nadal is too much of a champion, at this stage of his career, to simply fade away.
His last grand slam title came at the French Open in 2014 and with a record nine titles at Roland Garros to his name, Paris is the likeliest spot for another triumph at a major.

Question: Melbourne train surfer clings on to the front of carriage

A high school student has cheated death after clinging onto the front of a suburban train travelling at more than 70km/h through Melbourne.
Shocking footage captured the moment the teenage boy held onto the train as it left the station, just seconds after jumping down onto tracks and grabbing on.
Posted to social media, the group responsible for the death defying stunt - Sky High Idiots - said the video was just the first in what they have labelled 'Operation Repeat Offender', Seven News reports.
A high school student (pictured) has cheated death after clinging onto the front of a suburban train as it travelled at more than 70km/h through Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs
As the teen clings on to the front of the carriage, the train driver sitting less than a metre away is seemingly oblivious to the unwanted passenger.
Giving a thumbs up to his friend videoing his take off, he then holds on tight as the train hits high speeds as it travels through south-east Melbourne.
Despite being fully aware of the danger, one of the young boys involved in the stunt said they didn't fear dying.
'When the train started moving and we knew it was going, it was just great,' he said.
'We kind of surmise if he fell off the front he was going to die.
'Everyone's going to die one day. It's about making memories, not having dreams.'
But harbouring what can only be described as a death wish, the group of teens took to Facebook after the incident to show off some bravado.

Harbouring what can only be described as a death wish, the group of teens took to Facebook after the incident to show off some bravado, posting: 'We're going all out before we go out.'
Promising there would be more stunts to come, the Sky High Idiots posted said they were aware they could 'go out' with any mistake.
'This is just the start as Operation Repeat Offender goes into full swing,' the group wrote alongside a video.
'Prepare to see a lot of firsts. We're going all out before we go out.'

Nail-biting dashcam footage has captured the moment a lucky biker came within inches of being crushed by a high-speed train.
Video recorded from the driver’s cabin shows picturesque views as a train hurtles along tracks in Australia, travelling at approximately 100mph .
Suddenly the driver sounds his horns and slams on the emergency brake, giving the adrenaline junkie a desperate and fleeting chance to abandon his motorbike and leap out of the way - milliseconds before the train smashes into him.

The crackling sound of the train hitting the motorbike is picked up by the dashcam and a slow motion version of the footage shows just how close the man was to being sucked under the giant machine.
Three other bikers can be seen on the other side of the tracks, looking on while their friend throws himself into nearby shrubbery.
A Victoria Police spokeswoman said no one was hurt during the hair-raising incident but confirmed that it is being investigated.

Question: West Kootenay doctor brings innovative approach to emergency response

He remains on call and leaves the comforts of his home for some of the harshest realities of life.
Dr. Nic Sparrow volunteers his time assisting emergency services at some of the most serious 911 calls in the West Kootenay. (Submitted photo)
For most people, going above and beyond means working overtime to complete an important project or help a neighbour out of a tough situation.
But for Dr. Nic Sparrow, going above and beyond means saving people’s lives or drastically changing the recovery outcome of a severe injury or health crisis, and he is hoping more doctors and community members will join in the fight.
Sparrow is an emergency room doctor at Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, but he feels the duty of saving lives doesn’t end when he leaves the hospital at the end of his shift.
Sparrow remains on call and often leaves the comforts of his home for some of the harshest realities of life — the most severe 9-1-1 calls in the West Kootenay. He does this work as a volunteer — giving his time and providing his own supplies and equipment.
The idea of doctors attending accident scenes, cardiac arrest calls and drug overdoses seems like a new approach here in Canada, but the practice is actually quite common in Europe and other parts of the world.
Sparrow first became familiar with the practice while working in the United Kingdom.
After moving to Canada, Sparrow started volunteering his time for this type of work in 2008 while working on the Sunshine Coast.
Sparrow is quick to emphasize that he does not do this work alone, that it is a team effort — he is there to support the first responders, ambulance attendants, paramedics and fire department personnel.
“I think they do an absolutely amazing job — but there are some calls that a physician who is trained in pre-hospital response can assist with,” said Sparrow.
“To support the emergency services, and secondly to help save lives and help the most critically ill or injured patients in the community — that is my goal,” explained Sparrow who has attended 260 calls over the last four years.
Sparrow says its hard to calculate how many lives have been saved through the work.
“I’m not working in isolation, I’m working always with the paramedics, with the firefighters — so it is hard to equate to lives saved. But I have definitely, massively changed the outcome for a subset of critically ill patients,” he said.
This is partly because he is able to provide things like anti-seizure medications — stopping patients from enduring long periods of seizures and advanced life support drugs and treatments to the scene of cardiac arrests.
“There are certain things that I can provide that other providers at the moment in the pre-hospital environment cannot — that’s partly why I respond,” said Sparrow.
“The paramedics on the ground and the firefighters … they have to deal with some really tough stuff and work in the confines of what they are allowed to do — when we have basic life support, there are only a limited number of things the province allows them to do.”
Before moving to Canada, Sparrow responded with the ambulance service of the UK as a first responder and also alongside ambulance services in South Africa.
“I have seen the benefit of having physicians in rural areas respond,” he said.
“I think it should be a national program. There should be volunteer pre-hospital trained physicians — and maybe in the fullness of time it won’t be volunteer — across the province in rural areas assisting the ambulance service.”
Kootenay Emergency Response Physicians Association
Sparrow and others have formed a non-profit organization to help fund this work — the Kootenay Emergency Response Physicians Association (KERPA).
He hopes other physicians will join him in the work but explained it may take a while before that could happen.
“There is quite a lot of specialist training you require to translate your emergency skills into the pre-hospital setting,” explained Sparrow.
He also knows the idea is a tough sell.
“It’s an unusual model because you are not being paid for your time, you are on call 24/7 unless you turn your phone off. It’s not an overly attractive job concept.
“You have to be slightly weird in order to want to do it — hopefully the Kootenays will attract some more weird people to join me,” added Sparrow.
KERPA has developed a wish list that includes a designated marked vehicle to take to the scene of calls. The vehicle could then be stocked with the necessary equipment and outfitted with lights and sirens.
Sparrow has been using a LifePak 12 defibrillator/monitor on loan from Interior Health and an upgrade to a LifePak 15 is also on the organization’s list.
They would also like an automated chest compression device — the LUCAS 3.
KERPA has already raised about $20,000 and has purchased a state-of-the-art hand-held ultrasound machine.
The above equipment will cost about $75,000 to $100,000 so KERPA is looking for a dealership or someone else to sponsor the vehicle and is accepting donations through its Facebook page.
“We are just a volunteer organization, trying to help — we have no political agenda,” added Sparrow. “I feel I have a duty to help these people and I am going to do it — I’m just going to do it.”
And that is where the conversation ended — Sparrow’s phone rang, and he was needed elsewhere.

A remote disaster training course is helping Australian medical teams save lives in the wilderness. The eight-day course, taught on an island off the coast of Tasmania, with mock disasters, is designed to provide emergency responders with the skills and knowledge to deal with injuries in remote locations with little equipment. Faith Lapidus reports.

Question: Susan Kelechi Watson's Letter to Younger Self

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

The women of This Is Us are currently thriving as the stars of television’s biggest breakout hit, but not too long ago, they were just regular teens worried about fitting in with the popular crowd and struggling with self-love. Now, actresses Chrissy Metz, Mandy Moore and Susan Kelechi Watson are addressing their younger selves in heartfelt personal letters exclusively shared with PEOPLE in this year’s World’s Most Beautiful.
Here is what Kelechi Watson, who plays Beth Pearson, has to say.
Dearest ZQ,
Hey young one with the round cheeks, big eyes, long think hair, and skinny little legs … in the next seven years you’ll suffer the loss of your twin, your partner in crime, your aunt, your cousin and your fairy godmother. Five great women you loved and had tremendous respect for. Women you aspired to be like. Women who cared about you, listened to you, fed you, and raised you. Not an easy time in your life, kiddo, but you will survive … and who they were will make you better.
Your Auntie Essie a.k.a. The Greatest Godmother of all time. The one who bought you the best Barbie dolls and took your little behind to the movies to see The Muppets. Who made sure you had sleepovers with her daughter because she knew you were the only girl in a household full of boys. The one who never forgot a birthday or a Christmas and, even when she didn’t see you, let the gifts pile up in her hall closet until the next time. The one who taught you that family is not just a blood relationship, it’s one you invest in with love. One day, cancer will overwhelm her body but, true to form, she’ll leave you with a great gift. The gift of time and investment. She’ll make sure you know how important it is to show children that you care, that you haven’t forgotten them, and that they are love … even if they are not your own.
PEOPLE’s World’s Most Beautiful will be revealed on Wednesday. For more on this year’s beauties, be sure to pick up the issue when it hits newsstands on Friday.
Auntie Saskea will pass too, from lupus. Oh man, she was a beauty. I mean it would take my breath away. The caramel of her skin, the almond shape of her eyes, her perfect figure and raspy voice was everything you looked up to. She was a presence — a resilient, defiant presence. She was beautiful. And even near the end, when the disease had so ravaged her body that no part of her looked as it had before, you’ll sit with her for a while, hear her speak of love and life and she’ll ask you how you’re doing with no thought of herself, and you’ll learn that beauty resonates from the inside out. Nothing can steal your beauty if you don’t let it. You’ll take this with you always.

Cousin Carmen, is one of the boldest, funniest, brazen, honest, most audacious women you’ve ever known. She was irreverent and it was always awesome. She spoke so she could be heard. She believed she should be heard and knew her opinion mattered. She will pass, but she leaves you with the gift of saying the truth without fear; that your opinion matters and is worthy of expression. Exercise it as much as you can, especially in situations where people would have you believe you shouldn’t.
FROM COINAGE: The Most Expensive TV Shows of All Time
Fadia, a.k.a. your twin from another mother and one of your best friends, will suddenly go home to be with the Lord in the next two years and it will change your world. But fear not, she’s in good hands, and she leaves you with fun and what it means to be a good friend. She’ll remind you to care about even the minutia of a friend’s day, to be invested in what makes them happy and to enjoy a good man-chat. She’ll show you in very certain terms that your body is mortal, even when you’re young, so make every day count. She’ll remind you to choose joy. You can’t go wrong if you choose joy.
Great grandma, your partner in crime, your caretaker, your second mother, the greatest entertainer and storyteller to have EVER lived and the most dramatic woman you’ll ever know. To her you owe the most humble thanks of all. She dedicated her life to help raise generations of your family and you get to be counted in that number. She’ll show you how to appreciate every year of life you get, that 80 isn’t too old to be the assistant coach of your great grandson’s little league team and 90 isn’t too old to get your American citizenship. She’ll teach you that if you remain open to the possibilities, you can pick up a paint brush at 91 and discover you’re an artist or sit down at a piano at 12 and teach yourself to play by ear. She showed you you’re never too young to get hustled at cards, and that it’s cool to be a broad and enjoy a good cigar sometimes. She taught you that one of the most important things you can do in this life is to “give a joke” — find the funny and share it — and that love is meant to be passed on if you want to be surrounded by more of it. YOU GET TO KEEP ALL OF THAT and use it as best you can.
So, Su Z Q, these women will transition into spirit and light and you will survive it. You will remind yourself to take their gems and distribute them as generously as they did with you. In your life and in your art, they will make you better.
PS: You’ll also drop the Z Q and just go by Su. Trust
