1. Charlottesville attack
In many minds, what happened in Charlottesville over the weekend is a terror attack. A man drove a car through a crowd of counter-protesters at a rally by white supremacists . A Justice Department official says the feds have gathered enough evidence to suspect the attacker didn't just want to harm the immediate victims but send a message.
So why is it so hard for the leader of the free world -- who is usually so quick to tweet at the smallest outrage -- to call out the white supremacists and Nazis by name? President Trump condemned the rally but then blamed it on "many sides ." Remember, one side was there -- chanting and hurling epithets at every minority group - gays, women, African Americans, Jews -- and calling for racial purity. The other wasn't. Both Republicans and Dems alike ripped the President.
Trump's allies spent the rest of the weekend doing clean up , with Vice President Mike Pence saying the country had "zero tolerance for hate." Someone else at the White House said it was obvious that Trump condemned those groups. But that official wouldn't say it on the record. Trump's Twitter feed has been silent on the violence since Saturday night.

2. North Korea tensions
After last week's nuke-laden bluster, two top figures in the Trump administration are trying to lower the temperature . In a co-authored opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal, US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis presented a clear, united position. The aim of the US, they said, is not regime change in North Korea but a "peaceful pressure campaign" to denuclearize it.

3. Burkina Faso attack
Details are scarce, and we don't yet know how many assailants were involved in yesterday's attack on a restaurant in Burkina Faso's capital. At least 18 people -- many of them foreigners -- were killed in what the government's calling a terror incident. Militants have targeted civilians in Burkina Faso several times, including last year when attackers seized a luxury hotel, killing dozens of people.

4. Kenya election
At least 24 people have died in violent post-election protests in Kenya. President Uhuru Kenyatta beat opposition leader and former Prime Minister Raila Odinga 54% to 45%, but Odinga rejected the results and called it rigged. Odinga's supporters then took to the streets in droves in some cities. Many of the dead were shot, including a 9-year-old girl hit by a stray bullet.
Kenya's last election, in 2013, passed off peacefully, but 10 years ago the country was plunged into widespread violence after the 2007 vote. More than 1,000 people were killed in months of bloodshed when Odinga -- who'd been defeated by the then-President Mwai Kibaki -- claimed the vote was rigged.

Question: How To Get $20,000 Off The Price Of A Master's Degree

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

Examples:

"['This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title', 'SEOUL, South Korea — Intelligence officials believe North Korean agents assassinated leader Kim Jong Un\'s exiled half brother, but if the whodunit seems settled, a very big question still looms: Why now?\nKim Jong Nam, reportedly killed by two female agents in a cloak-and-dagger operation in a Malaysian airport, had long been an embarrassment to North Korea\'s government — humiliated during a failed attempt to sneak into Japan to visit Disneyland and outspoken in opposing the rise to power of his brother, who had his uncle executed after taking over.\nBut the overweight gambler and fading playboy had kept his head down in recent years from his base in Macau. Kim Jong Nam was seen by many outsiders as only a minor distraction for North Korea\'s leaders, and certainly not an existential threat worth the risk of a potentially embarrassing assassination caper on foreign soil.\nThe spotty South Korean intelligence community ascribed the North\'s motivation in killing Kim Jong Nam, without any elaboration, simply to Kim Jong Un\'s "paranoia." There is a more intriguing possibility floating around Seoul, however: The tipping point in North Korea\'s bloody calculations may have been a largely ignored South Korean news story from last week.\nA national daily, the Kyunghyang Shinmun, reported that Kim Jong Nam tried to defect to South Korea several years ago and had served, in the 2000s, as a middleman between disgraced current South Korean President Park Geun-hye and officials in North Korea.\nKim Jong Un may have clenched his teeth and carried on when he heard reports of his half brother\'s exploits in Macau casinos, and even when Kim Jong Nam, often photographed in an expensive, untucked, button-down shirt and newsboy cap, questioned in 2010 the need for a third generation of the Kim family to rule in Pyongyang.\nBut public reports in rival South Korea of alleged close dealings between a direct relative of North Korea\'s ruling dynasty and high officials in Seoul — and possible attempts to defect to the South — could have represented a serious challenge to a leader who portrays his family as the only legitimate power on the Korean Peninsula.\nIf a person with the blood of North Korea founder Kim Il Sung flowing in his veins was considering defecting to prosperous, democratic South Korea, what message did that send to North Korea\'s elite, or to the millions of poor and dissatisfied?\nSouth Korea\'s spy agency, the National Intelligence Service, which has a spotty record in reading the goings-on in North Korea and often tries to paint the leadership as unbalanced, denied any defection attempt by Kim Jong Nam.\nBut Cheong Seong-Chang, an analyst at South Korea\'s Sejong Institute, raised the possibility that the assassination was linked to the newspaper report, which cites interviews with anonymous officials from the Europe-Korea Foundation, where Park served as a board member for a decade before stepping down ahead of the presidential election in late 2012, and computer files and emails that showed exchanges between Kim Jong Nam and the foundation\'s officials.\nThe newspaper reported that Kim Jong Nam, who was then living in Beijing, delivered a letter that Park wrote to Kim Jong Il, North Korea\'s second leader and Kim Jong Un\'s father, in 2005. The letter, according to the newspaper, showed Park requesting help on cultural exchange programs pushed by the foundation.\nJeong Joon-Hee, the spokesman of South Korea\'s Unification Ministry, previously said the government doesn\'t believe such a letter from Park, who has been impeached over a corruption scandal, was delivered to North Korea.\nThe newspaper also cited anonymous sources to report that Kim Jong Nam explored the possibility of defecting to South Korea, and also to the United States and Europe, in 2012 before giving up. The sources said Kim\'s talks with South Korea and the United States eventually fell through because of his excessive demands.\nWhile the South Korean news report is a fascinating potential explanation for Kim Jong Nam\'s death, there are other possibilities — including that Monday\'s killing was the culmination of years of effort by North Korea.\nSeoul\'s spy service told lawmakers Wednesday that North Korea had for five years tried to kill Kim Jong Nam, who had kept a low profile since his uncle and former protector, the North\'s former No. 2, Jang Song Thaek, was executed by Kim Jong Un in 2013.\nThe NIS, according to lawmakers, cited a "genuine" attempt by North Korea to kill Kim Jong Nam in 2012, but didn\'t elaborate. The lawmakers said the NIS told them Kim Jong Nam sent a letter to Kim Jong Un in April 2012, after the assassination attempt, begging for the lives of himself and his family. The letter said, "I hope you cancel the order for the punishment of me and my family. We have nowhere to go, nowhere to hide, and we know that the only way to escape is committing suicide."\nKim Jong Nam\'s links with China may have also played a role.\nBeijing had long protected Kim Jong Nam, according to South Korea\'s intelligence service. China may have been interested in propping up Kim Jong Nam as a future North Korean leader should the current government in Pyongyang collapse.\nKim Jong Un would not have been pleased by knowledge that his brother was being used by Beijing as a pawn and potential replacement.']" == "['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it', "Did a South Korean news report doom Kim Jong Un's brother?"]"

There's an experiment underway at a few top universities around the world to make some master's degrees out there more affordable.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, says the class of 2018 can get a master's degree in supply chain management for more than $20,000 off from the university's normal price, which runs upwards of $67,000 for the current year academic year.
But it's not as simple as sending in a coupon with your tuition bill.
It's called a "MicroMasters." MIT, Columbia University, the University of Michigan and the Rochester Institute of Technology are among a dozen or so universities globally that are giving this online program a shot.
It's not a full degree, but a sort of certificate, and can be a step toward a degree.
There are things in it for students, and for the school.
What's in it for students: cost
Let's take Danaka Porter as an example. She's a 31-year-old business consultant from Vancouver, British Columbia, and says a master's degree was exactly what she needed to boost her career.
"I found that people were a little bit more respected, I guess, once they had their master's because it was like they had taken that next step to go a little bit further," she says.
But she couldn't afford to stop working and become a full-time student again. She owns a house, she says, and "I have bills, and all of that stuff that doesn't stop because I wanted to go to school."
When a friend told that MIT was piloting its first partially online master's degree in supply chain management, she signed up.
The tuition for a year in the master's of supply chain management costs $67,938. Her MicroMasters certification, though, is just $1,350.
It's called a MicroMasters because it isn't a full degree, just a step toward one, though Porter says the coursework is just as rigorous as if she were on MIT's campus in Cambridge.
"It requires a lot of effort and if you don't have a background in math, engineering or supply chain it's not a breeze. Like, we do have people that fail," she says.
Even if she passes the certification, Porter will still need to complete a semester "in residence" at full cost if she wants to finish her graduate degree. It's part of what MIT calls the "blended" program — online and on-campus.
Getting accepted is no easy task. MIT says it expects to admit 40 students a year into the blended program.
Some top schools from around the world are on board with MIT.
There's user experience research and design from the University of Michigan; entrepreneurship from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore; and artificial intelligence from Columbia University, among others.
Even if students don't go for a full master's, the online course work can make them more appealing to employers.
Industry leaders who say they can't find enough qualified candidates are looking for very specific skills like the ones being taught. GE, Walmart, IBM and Volvo have recognized MicroMasters and are encouraging their employees and job applicants to take these courses.
Some students who are enrolled in MIT's on-campus program wish these online courses had been available to them before spending big on their degrees.
"If this was an option, I think I would have considered it," says Veronica Stolear, a graduate student at MIT from Caracas, Venezuela. She quit her job in the oil industry to earn her master's in supply chain management. Ultimately, though, she thinks her on-campus experience will pay off.
"The in-campus program is more expensive, but you're getting also the experience of living in Boston, interacting with people from MIT that might not be in supply chain but might be in like the business school and like other types of departments," she says.
What's in it for schools: getting the best applicants
You might be wondering what MIT gets out this arrangement.
Admissions officers here say they'll weigh applicants' performance in these online courses.
Anant Agarwal, an MIT professor and CEO of the online-learning platform edX that makes these online courses possible, sees it all as a way to filter the applicant pool.
"When you get applications from people all over the world, it's often a crap-shoot," he says. "You don't know the veracity of the recommendation letters or the grades. And so you're taking a bet very often."
And Agarwal says that should give MIT and other institutions a better sense of how students will perform — if they're lucky enough to get in.

Question: Pirates rookie Meadows making instant impact

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Meadows originally committed to play at Clemson before signing a $3 million signing bonus to join the Pirates, a decision that came with a significant amount of expectations. He joined a pipeline that produced McCutchen, Marte and Gregory Polanco, the "outfield of the future" when Pittsburgh began its renaissance from afterthought to contender earlier this decade.
Meadows practically sprinted to Triple-A Indianapolis before his progress stalled thanks to lingering hamstring and oblique injuries. He hit just .239 in 2016 and 2017 with the Indians and the clamouring for his promotion quieted. He hired a new trainer over the winter and hit .295 with 10 doubles in 32 games for Indianapolis before Marte was sidelined with an oblique issue of his own.
Meadows' arrival earlier this month — unlike the arrivals of former coveted prospects McCutchen, Gerrit Cole and Polanco — was met with more of a shrug than breathless anticipation. That might not necessarily be a bad thing. It allowed the unassuming Meadows to fit in quickly in a clubhouse that's undergone a significant overhaul since it made three straight playoff appearances from 2013-15, including McCutchen's departure in a trade to San Francisco in January.
Make no mistake: Meadows is not McCutchen and isn't trying to be McCutchen. He does, however, believe he belongs. So do his teammates.
"He looks the part," said pitcher and 2010 first-round pick Jameson Taillon, who knows a thing or two about hype. "He looks like a ballplayer. He's not nervous, he's not scared ... When I got called up, I felt like my head was in my locker, I just wanted to stay out of people's way. Meadows has come up, he's comfortable."
And he's raking. The player who never hit more than 12 home runs during any season in the minors already has four less than two weeks into his major league career, That includes a shot to right-centre on Tuesday night off Chicago ace Jon Lester, the first homer Lester has given up to a lefty all season.
Yet it wasn't even Meadows' most impressive feat of the night. That came in the ninth against Cubs closer Brandon Morrow. Pittsburgh had two on with one out and trailed by four when Meadows stepped in. Meadows fended off four sinkers at 98 or 99 mph before lining an infield single that loaded the bases and kept a Pittsburgh rally alive.
"If you're not impressed by Meadows' at bats, you need to go watch another sport right now," Hurdle said.
Meadows is doing his best to take everything in stride. For all his early success, he's quick to point out the team has slumped since his arrival. He's no saviour. just one of 25 trying to do his part for a club that believes — if few others do — that it can contend in the stacked NL Central. He probably won't hit .400 all season. He probably won't hit a home run every third game. He's well aware getting up here and staying up here are two entirely different things.
It's a challenge he's been preparing for since the first time he picked up a bat when he was 3. The stakes have changed. His mindset has not.
"You can't have any fear up here," he said.

Question: Federal appeals court considers kids' climate change lawsuit

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

A federal appeals court is weighing in on an unusual lawsuit by a group of young people who say the Trump administration is violating their constitutional rights by failing to address climate change.
A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments Monday from attorneys for the administration and the 21 young people, who range in age from 10 to 21.
The Trump administration wants the 9th Circuit to order a lower court to dismiss the suit, saying it is broad and without merit.
The San Jose Mercury News reports that two of the judges voiced skepticism about the administration's request.
The lawsuit was originally filed against the Obama administration in 2015.

Question: The Force Is Strong: Amputee Controls Individual Prosthetic Fingers

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

Newswise — Luke Skywalker’s bionic hand is a step closer to reality for amputees in this galaxy. Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created an ultrasonic sensor that allows amputees to control each of their prosthetic fingers individually. It provides fine motor hand gestures that aren’t possible with current commercially available devices.
The first amputee to use it, a musician who lost part of his right arm five years ago, is now able to play the piano for the first time since his accident. He can even strum the Star Wars theme song.
“Our prosthetic arm is powered by ultrasound signals,” said Gil Weinberg, the Georgia Tech College of Design professor who leads the project. “By using this new technology, the arm can detect which fingers an amputee wants to move, even if they don’t have fingers.”
Jason Barnes is the amputee working with Weinberg. The 28-year-old was electrocuted during a work accident in 2012, forcing doctors to amputate his right arm just below the elbow. Barnes no longer has his hand and most of his forearm but does have the muscles in his residual limb that control his fingers.
Barnes’ everyday prosthesis is similar to the majority of devices on the market. It’s controlled by electromyogram (EMG) sensors attached to his muscles. He switches the arm into various modes by pressing buttons on the arm. Each mode has two programmed moves, which are controlled by him either flexing or contracting his forearm muscles. For example, flexing allows his index finger and thumb to clamp together; contracting closes his fist.
“EMG sensors aren’t very accurate,” said Weinberg, director of Georgia Tech’s Center for Music Technology. “They can detect a muscle movement, but the signal is too noisy to infer which finger the person wants to move. We tried to improve the pattern detection from EMG for Jason but couldn’t get finger-by-finger control.”
But then the team looked around the lab and saw an ultrasound machine. They partnered with two other Georgia Tech professors – Minoru Shinohara (College of Sciences) and Levent Degertekin (Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering) — and attached an ultrasound probe to the arm. The same kind of probe doctors use to see babies in the womb could watch how Barnes’ muscles moved.
“That’s when we had a eureka moment,” said Weinberg.
When Barnes tries to move his amputated ring finger, the muscle movements differ from those seen when he tries to move any other digit. Weinberg and the team fed each unique movement into an algorithm that can quickly determine which finger Barnes wants to move. The ultrasound signals and machine learning can detect continuous and simultaneous movements of each finger, as well as how much force he intends to use.
“It’s completely mind-blowing,” said Barnes. “This new arm allows me to do whatever grip I want, on the fly, without changing modes or pressing a button. I never thought we’d be able to do this.”
This is the second device Weinberg’s lab has built for Barnes. His first love is the drums, so the team fitted him with a prosthetic arm with two drumsticks in 2014. He controlled one of the sticks. The other moved on its own by listening to the music in the room and improvising.
The device gave him the chance to drum again. The robotic stick could play faster than any drummer in the world. Worldwide attention has sent Barnes and Weinberg’s robots around the globe for concerts across four continents. They’ve also played at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C. and Moogfest.
That success pushed Weinberg to take the next step and create something that gives Barnes the dexterity he’s lacked since 2012.
“If this type of arm can work on music, something as subtle and expressive as playing the piano, this technology can also be used for many other types of fine motor activities such as bathing, grooming and feeding,” said Weinberg. “I also envision able-bodied persons being able to remotely control robotic arms and hands by simply moving their fingers.”

Question: The Frictions in Micheal Afenfia’s Don’t Die on Wednesday

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

By Salamatu Sule
Title: Don’t Die on Wednesday
Author: Michael Afenfia
Pages: 258
Publishers: Origami Books [Parresia Publishers Ltd]
Year: 2014
Something there is that stares and doesn’t love Wednesdays, it is called the friction in Micheal Afenfia’s Fiction—reading this gives us a picture of a book well written with a striking title, like Don’t Die On Wednesday. I think the whole title is a string of suspense woven up in a nest construction like a spider’s web that only reading can detangle.
Don’t Die on Wednesday is a work of sport fiction.
The novel tells us a story of the life of a rising Tottenham FC top striker, Bubaraye Dabowei’s rising career which unfortunately is wreck by one game he visions to win against one of the finest club in England. Against this backdrop, Mango as he is fondly called picks up his pieces to go back to his country home and grow young professionals after he finds out he will not be able to play professional football for life. In the middle of it all, his life drifts and tears apart by his South African Model Wife, Nikiwe Dlomo, her repulsion to return with her family to Nigeria comes to foreplay through betrayal, infidelity and shared game of criminal antics.
For Afenfia, the game of life is there on the pitch as determined by the small round leather ball as the massive crowd focuses on one star—Tottenham FC’s top striker, Bubaraye ‘’Buba’’ Dabowei aka Mango. The book is unique in its narrative, style and content as Michael tells us the story of fame and shame, of desperate dirty desires and of love, lust and loss, including the gain and pain that lead to a sour tragic end of the games that we play. Nikiwe is desperate to get a production job so she plays dirty with Nareej when she meets him at secret places.
“He slipped his key card into a slightly open side compartment in her bag and asked her to go up ahead of him”. p 90
“When she opened her eyes, the large smile on his face told her everything.
Nareej purred like the cat that got the cream, another beauty queen in his jar of hearts” p. 91
The goals we score in the game of our lives matters as they place us firmly within history’s frame—some are wooed because of our good qualities and others booed for their deceits, fouls, on the pitch of life. Consequently, Buba’s wife, Nikiwe, pays the price for working against her husband to achieve her goals.
Buba follows his dreams and Sese will not succumb to his father’s wish at the detriment of his career, the one he dreams most, even if it were the last thing he did on earth.
The characters in Afenfia’s novel all act out their moves in the two halves of the Beautiful but dreadful game, as he creatively captures their injuries, yellow and red cards. All of this whish not to happen on a Wednesday!
The author puts it succinctly this way, seeking to capture the fever of the game—
Come today
That’s all I say
Any Monday,
Tuesday, but please no,
Not Wednesday
This novel is a socio-realistic fiction with all the events tied to everyday life, the struggle and hustle as opposed to the greed that attenuates it. Afenfia draws our attention to the critical conditions of the social structure of the society. As fictional as this novel is, we cannot shy away from the existential fact that the themes of its concerns are contemporary.
Truth is stranger than fiction but if fiction must make any sense, then don’t die on any day at all without reading this book.

Say what you will about Rose’s gambling, lying and low character (true, true and true), he will always be an iconic figure in franchise history.\nRose, now 76, played just five seasons here. But he proved to be the missing piece the Phils needed to win the 1980 World Series. He drove his teammates to be better. He hit .326 in 25 postseason games wearing red pinstripes. He was beloved by fans.\nThis one’s not debatable. And that’s important. Because in recent years, the Phils seem to have abandoned border patrol on their Wall of Fame, allowing the entry standard to drop from all-time great to kinda good.\nMike Lieberthal permanently enshrined? I realize “Lieby” played 13 seasons here, but also know those years perfectly coincide with the Phils streak of missing the playoffs. That is not coincidence.\nJohn Kruk? A valuable part of those 1993 World Series rascals, to be sure. A popular guy. Fine broadcaster. But if you start ranking every Phillie by career WAR, you’ll pass 49 others before you land on Kruk. Pat Burrell, a 2015 inductee, is another seven pegs below that in career value.\nBeyond minimum playing-time standards, there is no hard-set logic determining who gets into these things (read: Dave Schultz in the Flyers Hall of Fame). For the Phils, it seems, the motivation in recent seasons has been honoring popular players who may jack up mid-summer attendance. Hello, Jim Thome.\nMaybe that’s fine. Maybe having Burrell and Leiberthal share gold-leafed permanence with Mike Schmidt and Steve Carlton only annoys me.\nBy my thinking, three criteria should play into this: Was the player an all-time franchise great? Was he an important cog on winning teams? Was he a fan favorite? Any player who doesn’t check two of those boxes probably shouldn’t be enshrined.\nIn the future, this won’t be a problem. Soon we’ll enjoy the parade of Rollins, Utley, Howard and Hamels (assuming those guys ever retire). Carlos Ruiz and Shane Victorino will have their day, and deserve it. Maybe Brad Lidge. Maybe Jayson Wer – oh, never mind.\nBut in the interim, Scott Rolen and Bobby Abreu are probably on deck. Outstanding players, for sure, but two who played for lousy teams and sure didn’t connect with the fan base.

Question: Crowdfund This: ITSY BITSY Mixes Practical FX and Charatcter Actors in a Return to 80s Genre

From the look of the trailer, Itsy Bitsy is a return to solid character acting (Denise Crosby! Bruce Davison!) and practical creature special effects with its animatronic spiders. Director Micah Gallo has put together a pretty slick-looking genre film outside of the Hollywood system, and he's close to finishing his film Itsy Bitsy, but he needs help. He's almost there --- just shy of $5,000 to reach his goal in the next few days.
Of course, you can score the usual signed blu-rays and DVDs, but you if you have a bit more cash to spare, you can also get props, credits, a sweet poster signed by genre film illustrator Matthew Joseph Peak (A Nightmare on Elm Street), and tickets to the film's Los Angeles premiere and after party.
Synopsis: A young mother with a troubled past must defend her two children and do battle with a legendary pre-historic Spider Goddess.
If you love creepy locations, an embattled family fighting off creatures, awesome actors, and yucky arachnids, you'll want to look into backing Itsy Bitsy, a feature film over a decade in the making.

Question: Latest Action Launcher update brings the Pixel 2’s new design to any Android phone, here’s how to set it up

At the Made by Google event earlier this week, the search giant announced two new Pixel smartphones which showed an updated Pixel Launcher. The most notable difference was the search bar which got moved below the app dock. Thankfully, one of the most customizable launchers available for download has already been updated to allow users to bring this look to any Android phone…
UAG Cases
As the application describes itself, “Action Launcher offers all of Pixel Launcher’s features, then makes them even better with color & customization.” This is actually a really fair description as Chris Lacy, the developer behind Action Launcher, puts in an incredible amount of work to make sure every Android user can experience the newest features found in the OS, even if they don’t have the latest smartphone.
This can be seen in previous updates to Action Launcher when features were added such as Oreo’s notification dots, application shortcuts, and even Google Feed integration.
Version 29 of the launcher, which is rolling out now for beta users, allows for the search box to be moved below the app dock. While seemingly minor, it’s a nice touch for those wanting the Pixel 2 look. This is on top of the search box’s customization features already found in Action Launcher which allows users to add shortcuts to and change the shape of the box.
The steps below will walk you through setting up Action Launcher on your phone and customizing the search box’s location and features.
How to set up the Pixel 2’s design on any Android phone:
Join the Action Launcher beta program right here Download Action Launcher from the Play Store Open Action Launcher, walk through the introduction/tutorial and set the launcher as the default (if you so wish) Swipe up from the homescreen to open the app drawer. Locate and launch the Action Settings application Under the Fun stuff subheading, tap on Quickbar As long as you successfully joined the beta program and downloaded v29 of Action Launcher, there should be an option at the top of the menu labeled as Style. Tap on it Here you can select which style you wish to have on your homescreen: Search box (dock) (otherwise known as the Pixel 2 style), Search box (top), Action bar (top), or None. Select whichever you like and tap on OK Hit the Home button and you should see the search box positioned at the bottom of the display
How to customize the Search box
Make sure to follow all of the above steps and have the Search box in your desired location Launch the Action Settings application Under the Fun stuff subheading, tap on Quickbar Here you can change the Search box’s background color, its shape, the search logo, and even add more app shortcuts and actions to the bar To add more items, tap on the floating action button and select the app you wish to create a shortcut for To remove items, tap on them within the list and select Remove from the pop-up menu

Question: Israel Chemicals sells stake in desalination firm IDE for $167 million

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israel Chemicals (ICL) said on Sunday it completed a sale of its 50 percent holding in water desalination firm IDE Technologies for $167 million.
The final price was below an initial agreement of $178 million, ICL said in a statement to the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
ICL said it expects to post a capital gain of $40 million in the fourth quarter from the sale.
ICL, a top global supplier of potash, said in June that it reached a deal with a limited partnership whose general partner is a company controlled by IDE’s own chief executive, Avshalom Felber. The partnership also includes institutional bodies from Israel’s Clal Insurance.
IDE, which has built major desalination plants in the United States, Israel, India and China, is jointly owned by ICL and Israeli conglomerate Delek Group.

TEL AVIV Strauss Coffee has agreed to buy back a 25.1 percent stake in the company held by buyout firm TPG Capital Management for 257 million euros ($279 million), its parent company Strauss Group said on Tuesday.
The deal will contribute to earnings per share, said Israel-based Strauss Group, which owns the rest of Strauss Coffee. It did not provide details. Strauss paid TPG 172 million euros on Monday and will pay the remaining 85 million by Aug. 15.
Strauss said in December that TPG was looking to sell its 25.1 percent stake in Strauss Coffee.
TPG bought its stake in Strauss Coffee in 2008 for $293 million, but relations between the partners soured after TPG tried to keep a former TPG employee from losing his job as chief executive of the coffee firm. It lost that fight in court and the former employee was ousted in 2014.

Question: More flight delays, cancellations for US airlines in April

Canceled and delayed flights rose in April on the nation's leading airlines, and so did consumer complaints, according to figures released Wednesday by the U.S. Department of Transportation.
Continue Reading Below
The rate of canceled flights nearly doubled to 1.6 percent in April compared to the same month in 2016. Delta Air Lines accounted for nearly half the cancellations — it was crippled for days by a one-day storm in Atlanta.
About 78.5 percent of flights arrived within 14 minutes of schedule, down from the 84.5 percent on-time rate in April 2016, according to the latest figures available from the government.
Hawaiian Airlines had the best on-time rate, at 88.8 percent, while Virgin America was last at 64.6 percent.
Complaints rose 70 percent, although only a tiny fraction of the millions of travelers lodged a protest.
April was also the month in which a passenger was dragged from a full United Express flight, igniting a debate over poor customer service on U.S. airlines.
Continue Reading Below ADVERTISEMENT
Consumers lodged 1,909 complaints with the Transportation Department, with 1,430 filed against U.S. airlines. Most consumers complain directly to the airline, but the carriers don't have to report those figures.
More than one-third of complaints dealt with canceled or delayed flights or missed connections.
Discount carrier Spirit Airlines had the highest rate of complaints, followed by United, which took a public-relations beating after video surfaced of airport officers roughly hauling a 69-year-old man off a United Express plane to make room for crew members flying to their next assignment.
Southwest Airlines had the lowest complaint rate.

Question: Philippine troops foil IS-linked attempt to attack town

MANILA, Philippines (AP) — Philippine government forces have foiled an attempt by a few dozen Muslim militants aligned with the Islamic State group to attack a small southern town in fighting that left four gunmen dead, an army official said Wednesday.
Army Lt. Col. Harold Cabunoc said troops clashed with 30-40 militants Tuesday and drove them away from the small farming community of Mopac where they planned to launch an attack on the town center of Datu Paglas about a half kilometer (quarter mile) away.
The militants from the Bangsamoro Islamic Freedom Fighters led by Solaiman Tudon occupied several abandoned houses in Mopac, where he used to live, over the weekend but his family and other villagers asked the gunmen to leave.
"They took sniper positions and placed some bombs in the community and that alarmed the villagers," Cabunoc said.

Troops backed by artillery fire later arrived and clashed with the militants, who fled and were being pursued by government forces, Cabunoc said, adding that villagers started returning to their homes in Mopac on Wednesday.
Tudon's group is one of several small armed militant factions that have expressed support to the Islamic State group.
Clashes have erupted this week in a number of rural villages in Maguindanao province, where Datu Paglas is located, as troops pressed sporadic offensives to prevent a repeat of last year's siege of southern Marawi city by hundreds of Islamic State group-aligned militants. The five-month fighting in Marawi left more than 1,000 combatants and civilians dead and displaced hundreds of thousands of villagers.

Seven people were injured when two bomb explosions rocked a petrol station in a southern Philippine city near rebel enclaves, police said on Tuesday (April 18).
[MANILA] Seven people were injured when two bomb explosions rocked a petrol station in a southern Philippine city near rebel enclaves, police said on Tuesday.
An improvised explosive was thrown on Monday night on the roof of the gasoline station in Tacurong city on Mindanao island, which has been plagued by a decades-old Muslim insurgency.
Two soldiers, three policemen and two civilians were wounded when a second blast went off minutes later as security forces were about to cordon off the area, said regional police spokesman Superintendent Romeo Galgo.
Two suspects have been arrested but their identities and the motive for the attack were still under investigation, Mr Galgo added.
sentifi.com Market voices on:
"We cannot conclude yet that this is an act of terrorism. We are looking at all angles as there are threat groups in surrounding areas," Mr Galgo told AFP, referring to Muslim rebels in the strife-torn province of Maguindanao.
Nearby towns are also home to communist rebels waging one of Asia's longest insurgencies and the incident could have been linked to extortion, Galgo added.
The blasts occurred in a section of Mindanao that had been troubled by the Muslim insurgency and high crime.
Mindanao is the ancestral homeland of the Muslim minority in the largely Catholic Philippines.
The Moro Islamic Liberation Front, the largest Muslim rebel organisation, is in peace talks with the government but other extremist gangs that have pledged allegiance to the Islamic State group routinely carry out bombings and kidnappings.

Question: Australians commemorate 103rd anniversary of Turkish battle

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

CANBERRA, Australia — Thousands of Australians gathered at pre-dawn services on Wednesday to commemorate the moment when Australian and New Zealand Army Corps troops waded ashore at the Gallipoli peninsula in Turkey 103 years ago in their first major battle of World War I.
Because extremists have targeted annual ANZAC Day ceremonies in the past, concrete barriers were placed around the service in downtown Sydney to protect those who gathered at Martin Place.
Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull, his French counterpart Edouard Philippe and the heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, will mark ANZAC Day in France with a service that also commemorates the 100th anniversary of Australian troops taking the town of Villers-Bretonneux from the Germans. Villers-Bretonneux is now home to the main Australian Memorial of the Western Front.
At Villers-Bretonneux, Turnbull and Philippe on Tuesday unveiled a memorial plaque at the new Sir John Monash Centre museum which is named after the Australian general responsible for taking the town.
Turnbull and his wife, Lucy, also visited the grave of her great uncle Roger Hughes who was killed by a German shell in 1916 five days after arriving on the Western Front as a young military doctor.
Turnbull said in an ANZAC Day message that Australians remember veterans of every generation who risked their lives for their country.
“We best honour the ANZACs of 1918 and the First World War by supporting today’s service men and women,” Turnbull said on social media.
Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton represents the Australian government at a service at ANZAC Cove at Gallipoli, where the Australian and New Zealand troops landed under British command in an ill-fated attempt to take the Ottoman Empire out of the war.
More than 44,000 Allied soldiers were killed at Gallipoli. Turkish casualties were estimated at 250,000.
At the Australian War Memorial in the capital Canberra, an estimated crowd of 38,000 — 10 per cent of the city’s population — gathered in the cool autumn darkness for the dawn service which began with a lone soldier playing a didgeridoo.
“The attendance at this year’s dawn service shows the enduring connection so many people have to Anzac Day,” Memorial Director Brendan Nelson said in a statement.

NEW YORK: Aetna Inc Chief Executive Mark Bertolini on Wednesday said the individual Obamacare exchanges are in a "death spiral" where rising premiums push out healthy customers and leave only the sickest customers behind, which then drives up premium rates further.
Bertolini was speaking at a Wall Street Journal conference one day after it and Humana Inc walked away from their merger because the government blocked it on antitrust grounds.
He said that early signs from 2017 enrollment in individual plans created under former President Barack Obama's national healthcare law, often called Obamacare, showed signs of an unbalanced pool of healthy and sick customers.

Theresa May has announced a snap general election will be held on June 8 in the wake of the Brexit vote
Speaking outside Number 10, the Prime Minister said the Cabinet had agreed to call an early election. The move takes place against the backdrop of the country’s decision to leave the European Union in last year’s referendum.
Justifying the decision, Mrs May said: “The country is coming together but Westminster is not.”
She added: “So we need a general election and we need one now. Because we have at this moment a one-off chance to get this done, while the European Union agrees its negotiating position and before the detailed talks begin.”

Question: $1.18 to $1.58 a litre: Are you paying the most for gas in B.C.?

Gas prices across B.C. vary, with lowest in Vernon and highest in – you guessed it – Metro Vancouver
Everyone is talking about the soaring price of gas lately – and not just in B.C.’s most gridlock-prone cities.
According to GasBuddy.com, gas stations in Vernon are offering the lowest prices across the province as of Tuesday afternoon, sitting steady at about 117.9 cents per litre. Prince George is next in line, with 119 cents per litre on average.
Some of the highest costs, meanwhile, are being recorded in Metro Vancouver, to the tune of 154 cents and above.
Dan McTeague, a senior petroleum analyst with Gasbuddy.com, has pointed to a months-long national trend in which Canadians are seeing an average increase of 15 cents a litre compared to last year.
Causes include increased demand, gas shortages, and refineries shutting down for spring maintenance.

After rising sharply over the past several weeks, gas prices rose just a couple of pennies last week and not at all since Friday.
Thinkstock
So, you're taking a road trip for the Fourth of July weekend, and you're about to leave the state.
Do you fill up on gas now, or do you wait to fill up after you cross the border?
Making the wrong decision could cost you more than $10 a tank, depending on where you're heading.
"Watch out for those state lines," says Patrick DeHaan, senior petroleum analyst at fuel-station-finding app GasBuddy.
Gas prices averaged $2.86 per gallon Tuesday, according to AAA, hitting a four-year high for Independence Day travel.
Here's some advice before you head out – all prices according to GasBuddy:
1. Fill up in Arizona, not California
The price disparity between these two states is extreme.
Arizona averaged $3.06 per gallon as of Tuesday, while California averaged $3.73, according to GasBuddy.
At those prices, a 15-gallon fill-up is $10.06 more expensive in California.
2. Fill up in Texas, not New Mexico
If you're road-tripping in the Southwest, price differences can be significant. This is another good example.
The price of fuel in Texas, where oil refineries are clustered, averaged $2.66 on Tuesday. In New Mexico, it was $2.91.
That means you'd save $3.75 in Texas on a 15-gallon tank.
3. Fill up in Louisiana, not Texas
But Texas is more expensive than Louisiana, which is also a hot spot for refineries.
Prices averaged $2.59 in Louisiana on Tuesday, compared with $2.66 in Texas.
Generally, though, "anywhere in the South" is a good place to fill up, DeHaan said. "They’re right in oil’s backyard. Plus, low taxes."
4. Fill up in Ohio, not Michigan
Ohio is much more forgiving on the pocketbook than its rival to the north.
With prices averaging $2.79 on Tuesday, Ohio was sharply lower than Michigan's $2.96.
5. Fill up in Virginia, not West Virginia
Going white-river rafting in West Virginia? Sounds fun.
But fill up first in Virginia, where prices are 21 cents lower at $2.61.
6. Fill up in West Virginia, not Pennsylvania
West Virginia doesn't look so bad when you see prices in Pennsylvania, which averaged $3.01 on Tuesday, compared with West Virginia's $2.82.
7. Fill up in Massachusetts, not Connecticut
At $2.91, Massachusetts isn't exactly an oasis of cheap gas.
But it's still cheaper than neighboring Connecticut at $3.08.
8. Fill up in South Carolina, not North Carolina
North Carolina is 14 cents higher at $2.66.
Come to think of it, fill up in South Carolina no matter where you're heading. It's the cheapest gas state in the country, according to GasBuddy.

There should be zero tolerance for pot use by drivers or their passengers, a new report by the Canadian Mental Health Association Ontario branch recommends.
The report, Cannabis Legalization and Regulation, also says that all marijuana revenue should go to fund mental health and addiction services, and that the minimum age to purchase the product should be 19 years old.
“The risk is that legalization of cannabis may lead to an increase in use among Ontarians,” Camille Quenneville, CEO of CMHA Ontario, said in a statement Monday. “When taken together, our recommendations can minimize the harms associated with cannabis use and support a public health approach to this issue.”
As the Justin Trudeau government gets set to legalize pot by July 2018, CMHA Ontario prepared a report for the provincial government with recommendations on how to go forward.
The report says marijuana legalization should be viewed through a public health lens.
CMHA Ontario anticipates an increased need for mental health and addiction support services with legal pot, especially for youth and heavy consumers “ranging from brief interventions for at-risk users to more intensive interventions,” as well as extensive public education campaigns.
The “most concerning” issue is driving high, with data already showing that an estimated 10.4 million vehicle trips a year involve a motorist that had used marijuana, the report says.
Testing for drug-impaired driving may not accurately reflect the level of impairment, it says.
“Because the technology to detect an individual’s level of impairment due to cannabis is still in development at this time, CMHA Ontario recommends a zero-tolerance policy for cannabis consumption in any motorized vehicle in order to ensure road safety during this time of transition,” the report says. “A zero-tolerance policy would include both the driver of the motorized vehicle, as well as any passengers in the car. It is important that a clear message be sent to the public as soon as possible regarding zero tolerance for impaired driving due to cannabis use.”
While the Canadian Medical Association, which represents the nation’s doctors, called for a minimum legal pot-buying age of 21, CMHA Ontario suggested the lower age of 19.
“Frequent cannabis use can harm a developing brain and there is no evidence that supports a specific age when cannabis use is safe for young people,” the report says. “However, there are concerns that a higher minimum age may contribute to young people accessing cannabis from illegal sources. Establishing a higher minimum age standard will be less effective in undermining the black market, and may leave youth both criminalized and reliant on it.”

CRESTVIEW, Fla. (WKRG) — A Walton County man has been arrested for a Saturday night rampage in Crestview.
The rampage caused more than $100,000 in damage to a liquor store under construction at the Crestview Walmart and to construction equipment.
Around 9:10 p.m., police say 32-year-old Mathew Horace Jones of Freeport used a forklift to damage the building under construction.
According to police, Jones allegedly broke into the fenced-in construction site using a JCB extendable forklift parked at the job site.
The building under construction was destroyed. Additionally, the suspect damaged a city fire hydrant and a 2-inch water meter worth about $3,200.
Crestview Police received calls that the suspect was “throwing cinder blocks off the scaffolding in the construction zone.”
According to a building contractor, the damage included $40,000 in scaffolding and materials, $15,000 in block and mortar, a $15,000 forklift, a $7,500 mixer, $1,500 in mud pans and $4,000 in damaged fencing.
The suspect also caused about $60,000 in labor to clean and rebuild the site.
When Crestview Police Officers arrived on the scene, Jones aimed the forklift toward officers. The officers stopped Jones at gunpoint and were able to detain him.
Jones stated his name was “Alice Wonderland” and said he was told to commit the offenses by a hookah-smoking caterpillar.
Crestview Police Sgt. Don Howe said, “the defendant stated Walmart was building a place to sell alcohol and he had a problem with it.”
The suspect was on probation but is now charged with felony grand theft, use of a motor vehicle to damage property of another in excess of $1,000, criminal mischief with damage greater than $1,000, and violation of felony probation.

Question: De Minaur, Whittington get wild cards for Australian Open

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) — Australian Open organizers have given 17-year-old Alex De Minaur and Andrew Whittington wild-card entries to the season’s first grand slam tournament.
De Minaur, a Wimbledon junior finalist last year, beat top-seeded Mikhail Kukushkin in the qualifying tournament for the Brisbane International, where he is set to make his ATP main draw debut this week. Whittington, 23, achieved a career-high ranking of No. 170 last November after winning six ITF titles and reaching semifinals at two ATP Challenger events.
Other wild cards already granted for the Australian Open men’s main draw include Denis Istomin, the Asia-Pacific Wildcard playoff winner from Uzbekistan, and Quentin Halys of France and Michael Mmoh of the United States, who were given reciprocal wildcards for the French Open and the U.S. Open.

TORONTO — A man is dead following a late-night shooting in one of Toronto's busiest intersections.
Police say a man was shot at around 11 p.m. at Yonge-Dundas Square in the heart of downtown.
The man believed to be in his 20s was rushed to a nearby trauma centre in critical condition.
Homicide Det. Stephen Henkel says he died of his injuries in hospital.

PARIS (AP) — French police say an 8-year-old girl was killed and at least five people were injured when a driver slammed his car into the sidewalk cafe of a pizza restaurant in a small town east of Paris.
An official with the national gendarme service said the driver was arrested soon after the incident Monday night in the town of Sept-Sorts.
The official said it is unclear whether the act was deliberate. The official was not authorized to be publicly named according to police policy.
An Algerian man drove his car into a group of French soldiers last week, and a truck attack in the French city of Nice left 86 people dead a little more than a year ago. Several other countries have seen cars used as weapons in recent years.

Question: Uttar Pradesh has to change for India to progress, says PM Narendra Modi

Lucknow: Accusing the Samajwadi Party and BSP of doing politics at the cost of development, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday urged the people of Uttar Pradesh to vote for the BJP to change the state’s fortunes.
Addressing a huge rally here, Modi said it was imperative for Uttar Pradesh to develop for India to progress in every sense.
“We want India to march ahead, want poverty to be eliminated, illiteracy to end, diseases to end. But all these dreams will be fulfilled only when the fortune of UP is changed,” he said.
“For India to progress, UP has to progress.
“It pains me when I see how governments in the state have been functioning. Even for building a road, they first measure political considerations.
“Development is not their preference. They only know petty politics,” he said, targeting the Samajwadi Party and the Bahujan Samaj Party which have ruled the state for the last 14 years.
“The Centre in the last two and half years provided Rs 2.5 lakh crore to the state. Had this money been properly utilized, UP’s condition wouldn’t be like it is now,” he said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday slammed the ruling Samajwadi Party in Uttar Pradesh during his Parivartan rally in Lucknow. The prime minister hit out at opposition parties for criticising demonetisation and other policies rolled out the government for the welfare of the poor. Without naming he said that some parties are stuck in their bid to do dynasty politics, while others are trying to hide their black money and asserted that the BJP was the only party which wants to develop UP.

BJP president Amit Shah, senior leaders like Rajnath Singh, Kalraj Mishra and Uma Bharti were among those attending the rally. Shah and Singh addressed the crowds shortly before the prime minister. Both leaders hit out at the ruling SP and Mayawati-led Bahujan Samaj Parties, the two political parties who have ruled the state for long duration. They praised Modi and his policies aimed for the upliftment poor and backward classes, in particular the recent demonetisation scheme.
The rally, first by Prime Minister Modi after the expiry of 50-day grace period of demonetisation on December 30, can be seen as a culmination of the four Parivartan yatras carried out by the BJP in the state recently.

Question: US to help Cambodia preserve Khmer Rouge victims' belongings

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (AP) — The U.S government has provided more than $55,000 to Cambodia for the preserving of personal items belonging to prisoners at a Khmer Rouge prison and torture center in the 1970s.
The project agreement was signed Monday by U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia William Heidt and Cambodian Secretary of State for Ministry of Culture and Fine Art Chuch Phoeurn. The funding aims to preserve and maintain 3,000 to 5,000 items of clothing, shoes, hats and belts belonging to prisoners who were detained at the Khmer Rouge's main Tuol Sleng prison facility.
Under the 1975-79 Khmer Rouge regime, an estimated 17,000 Cambodians were tortured at the center, known as S-21 prison, and then killed. An estimated 1.7 million Cambodians died from execution, starvation and inadequate medical care under the rule of the ultra-communist group.
Heidt said the timing of the project is critical since the items are slowly deteriorating. The prisoners' belongings tell the extremely personal and heartbreaking stories of the victims of the Khmer Rouge and include clothing, hats and other items from both adults and children.

"If you look closely, you even can see that some items still show blood and sweat stains," Heidt said. "The conservation work will carefully preserve the textiles without removing this historical evidence. Each piece carries its own history and we recognize how important it is to preserve this story for future generations."
Chuch Phoeurn welcomed the U.S. funding and said the preservation of the belongings is important because they can help educate young Cambodians. He said some of the items will be displayed at the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum.

THE woman with her baby stares quietly into the camera, her passive gaze perhaps containing some knowledge of the unspeakable horrors that were about to befall her.
Shortly after the photograph was taken on the woman's arrival at the infamous Khmer Rouge torture centre S-21 in Phnom Penh, her baby was taken away and killed.
She herself was doomed, the wife of a Khmer Rouge officer who had fallen out of favour, and to become one of the millions of victims of Cambodia's mass murder of the 1970s.
Until earlier this month, the image of the woman with the short hair, slightly tipped head and
sleeping infant was yours to buy for $199.99 for use in a "marketing package".
In other images a woman, pinned with a number, sits slumped beside her baby, and in another a young boy, number 374, stares terrified at the lens.
Literary publication the Mekong Review has revealed that two stock photo agencies - Alamy and Sprague - were cashing in on the images of the women and other victims of one of history's most appalling atrocities.
Photo of woman and her baby at the Khmer Rouge torture centre before their genocidal murder was on sale as a stock image for profit.
All the people in the black and white photos for sale online died in the Khmer Rouge's Year Zero genocide, more commonly known as Cambodia's Killing Fields.
Publishing the images on Twitter, the Mekong Review wrote: "These portraits were taken by Khmer Rouge cadres before they tortured and killed these people.
"This is wrong ... selling photos of Khmer Rouge victims which they have no copyright on. "No one owns these photos.
"They were taken by members of a regime that was responsible for the death of 2 million people."
The Cambodian genocide began in 1975 when the country's communists called the Khmer Rouge overthrew the democratic government and seized power.
Mekong Review Twitter post about the sale prices and marketing of this Khmer Rouge’s victim’s image taken before her murder.
Kaing Guek Eav, aka ‘Duch’ who ran the S-21 torture centre where the woman and baby died.
Led by five men including the notorious Pol Pot, they established "Year Zero", forcibly evacuating people from the cities back into the countryside and murdering perceived opponents.
Money was abolished, books were burned and the country's intellectual elite including teachers and wealthy traders were slaughtered to realise Pol Pot's dream of an agricultural communist utopia.
Up to three million Cambodians - one quarter of the nation's population - were killed while the country fell into ruin and famine.
Arbitrary executions and torture were carried against perceived subversive members of the Khmer Rouge's own ranks, such as the unfortunate husband of the lady with her baby in the photograph.

After four years of terror, the Khmer Rouge was removed from power when Vietnamese forces invaded.
Left behind were the skeletons of the many victims and their photographs.
Visitors to Cambodia today can see the thousands of photos taken by the Khmer Rouge of their victims which take up the rooms of the Tuol Sleng Genocide Museum in the capital, Phnom Penh.
The museum is on the site of the former high school which was used as Security Prison 21, S-21, to torture and kill victims.
A "tower of skulls" can be seen at the Choeung Ek Genocidal Center, the site of a former orchard and mass grave containing 8,895 bodies 17km south of the capital.
The Mekong Review reported that no release form for use of the images had been signed before they were marketed by Alamy and Sprague.
It called into question the practice of selling the images for commercial use on legal and moral grounds.
On Monday, the Mekong Review reported that Alamy and Sprague had now removed the images from their sites.

Question: Provinces agree to new 75-25 pot tax split

OTTAWA — The federal government has agreed to give the provinces and territories a 75% share of the tax revenues from the sale of legalized marijuana, a portion of which will be meted out to cities and towns to help them defray the cost of making pot legal across Canada.
Finance Minister Bill Morneau announced the two-year agreement today after a day-long meeting with his provincial and territorial counterparts.
Morneau says Ottawa will retain the remaining 25% share to a maximum of $100 million a year, with any balance over and above that limit going to the provinces and territories.

The larger share, he added, will allow the provinces to “fairly deal with their costs and so they can work with municipalities,” which had been asking for at least a one-third portion of the revenue to help ease the burden of costs like law enforcement.
Morneau said that over the first two years, the federal government expects legalized pot to generate only about $400 million in tax revenues, adding that the ministers are scheduled to gather again a year from now to assess how the framework is working.
“Our expectation is that by keeping prices low, we will be able to get rid of the black market. However, that will happen over time,” Morneau said during a closing news conference, his counterparts lined up behind him.

“Our estimates suggest that the size of the taxation revenue is roughly ... about up to $400 million for the first couple of years. What we’ve agreed at our table today is that we need to come back together; we’re going to come back together in December 2018 to look at how the market’s working, and how the federal government, provinces and municipalities are dealing with this change.
"Of course, we'll stay very much on top of this, but after two years it's time to rethink the approach to make sure we're getting it right." - Bill Morneau
All 14 jurisdictions at the table agreed to the key principles reached at the meeting, Morneau said, calling it a “very good outcome.”
The original model put forward by the federal government proposed an even 50-50 split, a plan that was immediately shot down by the provinces, many of which wondered aloud what sort of costs Ottawa would be incurring to deserve such a share.
Earlier today, Ontario Finance Minister Charles Sousa said the federal Liberal government had successfully made the case that it, too, would have costs, but was showing flexibility on related revenue and cost-sharing questions.
After a meeting with his Atlantic counterparts in Halifax, Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil let slip that a two-year deal had been reached, and that provinces would have the ability to include a markup above and beyond existing taxation levels.

THE CANADIAN PRESS/Andrew Vaughan
Ottawa’s initial estimates suggested the total pot of tax revenue from marijuana sales could eventually reach $1 billion per year.
“If there is a markup that a respective province wants to do it would be outside of that taxation model, so that was the flexibility that we as a province were looking for and I would say indeed it was what we were hearing across the country,” McNeil said.
“The two-year window will give each of us the time to go back to the table and say this is actually what policing is costing and this is what the education component is.”

The Federation of Canadian Municipalities has said it wants a third of the revenues earmarked to help municipal governments handle administrative and policing costs, but how that share of the pot is divvied up will be up to the municipalities and their provincial or territorial counterparts.
"Of course, the provinces will work with their municipalities, but it's for us to decide what that percentage will be." - Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao
The federal government has already committed more than $1 billion over five years towards pot legalization in areas like policing and border security.

When asked about the federal push to ensure enough money goes to cities and towns, Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao said each province will do it their own way.
“Of course, the provinces will work with their municipalities, but it’s for us to decide what that percentage will be,” he said. “And every province is different, every city is different, so there is no preconceived amount for the provinces.”
During the meetings, the ministers also discussed the federal government’s proposed tweaks to the formula behind equalization payments, as well as the three-year review of the Canada Pension Plan. They also explored the state of the global economy and heard a presentation from Bank of Canada governor Stephen Poloz.

Talks also took place on a national strategy to improve the sharing of information on corporate ownership between jurisdictions, a measure designed to clamp down on tax avoidance, tax evasion, money laundering and terrorist financing.
“We agreed to take concrete steps to make sure that we had knowledge of who owns companies across our country so that we can do a better job at ensuring that we don’t have tax evasion, that we don’t have money laundering, that we don’t have terrorist financing in any part of our country,” Morneau said.

"Like any negotiations, there's going to be back and forth. I think we're making progress."
On Sunday, Morneau was expected to counter the argument that Ottawa won't see the same level of costs associated with legalization by telling his counterparts he has already committed more than $1 billion over five years towards pot legalization in areas like policing and border security.
Quebec Finance Minister Carlos Leitao said Monday that the federal government made it clear Sunday it will also have costs. But he noted the plan to legalize pot came from Ottawa.
"It's the federal government that decided to go in this direction," Leitao said.
He added that his objective is to leave Ottawa with an agreement and he was hopeful a "co-ordinated Canadian approach" can be designed to ensure the governments eliminate the black market.
When asked about the federal push to ensure enough money goes to cities and towns, Leitao said each province will do it their own way.
"Of course, the provinces will work with their municipalities, but it's for us to decide what that percentage will be," he said.
"And every province is different, every city is different, so there is no preconceived amount for the provinces."

Talks are also expected to resume on a national strategy to improve the sharing of information on corporate ownership between jurisdictions, a measure designed to clamp down on tax avoidance, tax evasion, money laundering and terrorist financing.

Question: Iowa Moves To Restrict Collective Bargaining For Public Sector Workers

Lawmakers in Iowa began debating a bill Tuesday to dramatically change how public sector unions negotiate their contracts, part of a wave of legislation in statehouses across the country to roll back union rights.
The bill, similar to a 2011 law in Wisconsin, is high on the state's legislative agenda and comes as Republicans control both chambers of the state Legislature and the governor's mansion for the first time in nearly 20 years.
About 180,000 state and local government workers would be prohibited from negotiating over issues including health insurance, seniority and extra pay. The legislation also leaves in place a provision that prevents workers from going on strike. And it includes provisions that would make it more difficult for unions to collect dues.
Public safety employees, such as law enforcement officers, would be exempt from certain provisions of the bill. Critics say exempting public safety workers divides unions.
Ahead of hearings on the leglslation, teachers, teamsters, firefighters and other union members demonstrated at the Iowa Capitol Monday night, breaking into chants of "Kill the bill."
"Enough of these misguided politicians and their billionaire buddies trying to take our voice and our rights!" shouted Becky Pringle, of the National Education Association, to the crowd from atop a folding chair.
The state's Democrats are trying to slow down debate on the measure, which is expected to last several days.
"This is a major change and policy shift," said state Sen. Nate Boulton, a Democrat. "It is disappointing that we had no voice in this process."
Republicans countered that they were ending a period of deadlock and divided government in Iowa by acting on their priorities.
"Normally the frustration I hear from folks at home is that we don't get anything done," said state Rep. Steve Holt, a Republican. "So we are acting decisively on a bill that I think is great for Iowa and great for efficient government."
More than 1,100 people signed up to speak against the bill, but only 33 got the chance. State correctional officer Lindsey Herron said she left her previous job, which paid well, for the better benefits that state employees receive.
If the bill becomes law, the risks of working in a prison are "no longer worth it," said Herron. "You may think that's fine until those offenders end up living next door to your family and they learn nothing in prison because they no longer have professional educated staff working there."
Herron said she was upset about voting for Republican candidates last fall. "If this bill passes, don't think in 2018 I'm going to forget what you've done to my family."
Just four people spoke in favor of the bill, including representatives of the Iowa chapter of Americans for Prosperity, the nonprofit political advocacy group funded by conservative donors David and Charles Koch.
