Question: Brie Larson on her success

Represent this text to find a news title for it

It only took 20 years for Brie Larson to become an overnight success.
The Oscar-winning star of the drama Room and the future Captain Marvel herself has been acting since she was a child.
At age six, the Sacramento native became the youngest student ever to attend the American Conservatory Theatre in San Francisco.
Acting in childhood, Larson says, “Was a playground for me to be able to express all these things that were confusing to me, or things I wanted to know more about, to try on different people, different ways of doing things."
The self-described shy child began her career in television. She made her film debut in the 1999 movie, Special Delivery, and appeared in such films as 13 Going on 30, Sleepover and Hoot, graduating to roles in Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, 21 Jump Street, Rampart and The Spectacular Now; on television, she starred in United States of Tara, among other projects.
In 2013, Larson, 27, was in two films — Don Jon and Short Term 12 — that brought her critical attention. Trainwreck and Room made 2015 a ‘breakout’ year for the young actress, and she is currently in theatres starring in Kong: Skull Island.
Later this year, Larson will make her feature directorial debut with Unicorn Store; she also stars in the movie alongside Samuel L. Jackson, Joan Cusack and Bradley Whitford.
This week, Larson’s new movie, Free Fire, opens in theatres. The blackly comic crime caper from director Ben Wheatley (Kill List) is a shoot ‘em up about a small arms deal gone wrong; Larson stars in Free Fire with Armie Hammer, Sharlto Copley, Cillian Murphy and Noah Taylor.
Martin Scorsese is the executive producer.
We spoke to Brie Larson when she was at the Toronto International film festival to promote Free Fire.
Had you encountered director Ben Wheatley in the past?
“I had watched his films. You hear good things from other actors.”
Wheatley has said the game Counter Strike was one source of inspiration for Free Fire.
“It did feel like a long game of Laser Tag. [Laughs]. It’s really entertaining, but there’s a lot more going on under the surface.”
And it was shot in Brighton. You must be travelling the world these days?
“That’s just how it goes. At least it’s usually a couple of months in one spot, which is usually enough to get a handle on a place. I’m grateful for that. And I love the fact I’ve worked in so many places. But we’re always constantly moving around, so that’s why certain moments, like a banquet or a gala or an awards’ ceremony, when you see someone again, it’s an amazing chance! It’s like a reunion because you run into so many people. Recently I was shooting in Montreal and Jen Lawrence was shooting at the same time and it was incredible that we got to spend weekends together. We were like, ‘How could we be so lucky?’ You get so used to being on your own, and exploring a new place and meeting new people all the time, so it’s such a treat when there’s a friend there.”
Can we talk about change in your life? A year ago you were here to promote Room, and now you have an Oscar for that movie. And a huge public profile.
“I think it’s kind of a typical thing — a year later, so much has changed and so much has stayed the same. A lot of things about my public persona have changed, in that more people know what my face looks like, but all of the intimate details — like my private life, the friends I have, how I take my coffee — that’s all the same. It’s an intriguing experience being back here after a year, because I’m the same, but I’ve noticed that my public perception has changed.”
That public perception is going to change again with your Captain Marvel role, right?
"That wasn’t my motivation for doing it. I have very specific reasons for doing film, and they don’t have to do with me, or getting my face plastered on more objects. It’s about the material. And movies live on and can be places I can’t, and I want to be conscious about what that is that I’m presenting to the world. And what those representations of life are, and how they’re being shared. And obviously, Marvel is such an incredible platform to be able to share in storytelling, and I think that what Captain Marvel represents, and what this film is shaping up to be, has a message that’s undeniably important to the world right now.”
How do you feel about this sudden flood of attention on you?
“I’m a pretty private person; so much of my day-to-day is much the same. The beauty of being a 20-year overnight success is that I’ve had a lot of time to have a clear understanding of what I’m interested in and why it fills me up. This job can be really draining on one side, because it’s a lot of giving. You’re giving emotionally when you’re playing a character, you’re giving emotionally when you’re doing interviews, when you’re meeting with fans. It’s an act of service. You have to find a way to balance it up with things that are for yourself, that fill you back up again. I feel like I’m still learning about that balance, because the output is more than what it was. But my overall life is the same. I’m in the same body I was always in.”
Is this film festival in Toronto different for you now?
“This TIFF experience is bizarre. [Laughs] It’s like, a year ago I could walk around anywhere and nobody cared what I was doing. That’s a weird, sort of, out-of-body experience now that I’m the same, but everyone around me has sort of changed. But it’s wonderful! I’m so incredibly grateful for this last year and for what TIFF has brought into my life.”

REMEMBER THIS?
Brie Larson is such a chameleon that you’ve likely seen her in more than a few films without even realizing it.
Here are five Brie Larson movies you forgot she was in:
RIGHT ON TRACK (2003)
In this made for TV Disney movie, baby-faced Larson and Beverley Mitchell starred as Courtney and Erica Enders, real-life drag-racing sisters who challenged a male dominated sport and won.
HOOT (2006)
Larson and Logan Lerman star as dedicated kids trying to protect an endangered species of owl from a massive construction project. Luke Wilson plays a cop; also with Tim Blake Nelson, Cody Linley.
TANNER HALL (2009)
This is cheating, because the movie was never really released into theatres. But still — here’s Larson starring with Rooney Mara, Amy Seders and Tom Everett Scott in a coming of age (and sexual awakening) drama about a girls’ boarding school.
21 JUMP STREET (2012)
How could you forget? In this comedy about two moronic young cops sent to work undercover in a high school, Larson plays Jonah Hill’s adorable love interest.
THE GAMBLER (2014)
Larson is the spunky love interest opposite Mark Wahlberg in the story of a literature professor leading a double life — as a gambling addict. Larson plays one of Wahlberg’s students, but she also works part-time in a casino, so she knows both sides of his story. Drama also stars Jessica Lange and John Goodman.

A major recruitment drive for occupational therapists (OTs) has followed criticism of Lancashire County Council by the Local Government Ombudsman.
Now the full county council will assess work being done to increase staffing and improve performance when it meets on Thursday.
A report to councillors notes compensation of £750 has already been paid to a bereaved wife and an apology issued after she complained to the Local Government and Social Care Ombudsman that the council had failed to meet the assessed equipment needs of her husband.
He was left bedbound in the final month of his life after the council failed to provide a special chair.
The Ombudsman, reporting in September, had “found fault causing injustice” in the case and demanded the full council consider its implications.
The council will be told an urgent review of policies and working arrangements is taking place and the number of occupational therapy posts has doubled to 40 FTE (full time equivalent).

Question: Indians sent most remittance back home in 2016, says UN report

represent the article to find a fitting news title.

India has emerged as the top remittance-receiving country with Indians working across the globe having sent home approximately $62.7 billion (approximately 4 lakh crore) last year, according to a United Nations study. About 200 million migrants globally sent more than $445 million in 2016 as remittances to their families, the study said.
The study, ‘Sending Money Home: Contributing to the SDGs, One Family at a Time’, is carried out by the UN International Fund for Agricultural Development. It covers a 10-year trend in migration and remittance flows between 2007 and 2016.
Besides India, China, Philippines and Pakistan received top remittances. The United States, Saudi Arabia and Russia were ranked as the top “sending” countries accounting for almost half of the annual flows.
“The money is spent on food, healthcare, better educational opportunities and improved housing and sanitation,” Pedro de Vasconcelos, manager at IFAD’s Financing Facility for Remittances, said. “Remittances are therefore critical to help developing countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals.”
With 77 million migrants, Asia became the highest originating region and saw 87% increase in remittances in the last decade, according to the study. Of the 77 million migrants, 48 million of them have migrated within the region.
In 2017, an expected one-in-seven people globally will either send or receive more than $450 billion in remittances, the report added. “The small amounts of $200 or $300 that each migrant sends home make up about 60 per cent of the family’s household income, and this makes an enormous difference in their lives and the communities in which they live,” IFAD President Gilbert Houngbo said.

As part of a major confidence-building exercise, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has granted permission to the Bank of China to operate offices in India.
New Delhi (Sputnik) — The 106-year-old Bank of China is all set to become the second Chinese bank after the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Ltd to have a branch in India. On Wednesday, the Reserve Bank of India issued a license to the Bank of China — a formality that was pending for the last three years. The decision to allow the Bank of China to operate out of India was taken last month during a meeting between Chinese President Xi Jinping and Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the sidelines of the SCO summit.

Apart from the Bank of China, three banks from Iran, two from South Korea, one from Malaysia and one from the Netherlands had also applied for the license. Among the Iranian banks that had sought approval from the RBI were Bank Pasargad, Parsian Bank and Saman Bank. RBI has not issued a license to these applicants to date.

India's security agencies, until June this year, had not granted security clearance to the Bank of China amid speculations that the People's Liberation Army had an indirect stake or control over the bank. Some unconfirmed reports also pointed out that the bank was involved in funding Hamas, a terror group which targets Israel. However, the listing documents showed the bank to be partly owned by Central Hujin Investment, Hong Kong Exchanges Clearances, and China Securities Finance.
China had permitted Indian banks to open seven branches in China since 2006. The State Bank of India was the first to start operations in China where it has two branches. The Bank of India, the Bank of Baroda, Canara Bank, ICICI Bank and Axis Bank have one branch each. With Chinese investments in India growing manifold in recent years, Chinese banks have been seeking the license to operate in India.

"By the end of 2017, Chinese investments into India added up to more than $8 billion, as India has become an important market for infrastructure cooperation among Chinese companies and a major investment destination," Gao Feng, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Commerce, had said in April this year.
Last year, bilateral trade between both countries touched a historic high of $84.44 billion, and in the first quarter of this year it witnessed robust growth, netting $22.1 billion, a 15.4 percent year-on-year increase.

Question: Earnhardt crashes in practice at Charlotte

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

By JENNA FRYER
AP Auto Racing Writer
CONCORD, N.C. (AP) – Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s final weekend as a full-time driver at Charlotte Motor Speedway got off to a rough start when he crashed moments into Friday’s opening practice.
Earnhardt drove into the high line of the track and slipped in the grippy substance Charlotte officials had used on the surface. It caused him to hit the wall and his Hendrick Motorsports team had to pull out his backup car.
Earnhardt wasn’t very happy about his misfortune and felt the substance – known as PJ1 – was too slick.
He had to make a quick visit to the care center before he was cleared to return to practice.
Earnhardt is retiring at the end of the season, in part because of multiple concussions he’s received while racing.

In the latest episode of the 2018 Frontstretch Podcast, we review the biggest day of racing with Dustin Albino, Mike Neff, Zach Catanzareti and Ross Chastain, the driver of the No. 15 Premium Motorsports Chevrolet in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series and the No. 4 JD Motorsports machine in the XFINITY Series.
Kyle Busch dominated the Coca-Cola 600, leading 377 of 400 laps (565.5 miles), and picked up his first victory at Charlotte Motor Speedway. Kevin Harvick started shotgun on the field, but made his way up to fourth before wrecking out on lap 83 and was probably the No. 18 team’s closest competition.
Martin Truex Jr. failed to lead the most laps in the event for the second consecutive season, but picked up his second consecutive runner-up-finish.
Chastain takes us through his race, including a career-best 25th starting position. He also discusses the restrictor plate package the XFINITY Series will be racing this weekend at Pocono Raceway and next weekend at Michigan International Speedway.

Question: Trump congratulates Erdogan for referendum win

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

(CNN) US President Donald Trump has become the first Western leader to congratulate Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for winning a controversial referendum that grants him far-reaching, largely unchecked powers.
Trump called the Turkish leader on Monday shortly after international monitors delivered a harsh verdict on the referendum on constitutional changes. They found that the opposition campaign had been restricted and the media coverage was imbalanced, and that the electoral authority had unfairly changed the rules after polls had opened.
Trump joins a short list of leaders who have openly congratulated Erdogan, including Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev and Saudi King Salman.
His congratulations stands in stark contrast to the more cautious tone adopted by European leaders and a statement issued by the US State Department, which acknowledged the results but warned against further repression by the Turkish government of the political opposition.
"We look to the government of Turkey to protect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all its citizens -- regardless of their vote on April 16 -- as guaranteed by the Turkish constitution and in accordance with Turkey's international commitments," the State Department said in a statement.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, left, and US President Donald Trump.
"Democracies gain strength through respect for diverse points of view, especially on difficult issues."
The Turkish government has been widely condemned by Western nations for its repression of opposition figures following a failed military coup last year.
Europe sends warnings
European governments struck a more cautious note.
"The tight referendum result shows how deeply divided Turkish society is and that means a big responsibility for the Turkish leadership and for President Erdogan personally," Germany's Chancellor Angela Merkel and Foreign Minister Sigmar Gabriel said in a joint statement, calling for a "respectful dialogue" in Ankara with the opposition and all parts of Turkish society.
Erdogan's margin of victory in the referendum was razor-thin. Despite a state of emergency and a widespread crackdown on dissent, he succeeded in persuading only 51.4% of voters to back his constitutional upheaval.
The French government said it would "follow with great care" the international monitors' final report in coming weeks, particularly in relation to a reported last-minute change of rules by the electoral boards to allow ballots that had not been officially stamped. The change has raise concerns of "ballot-stuffing" -- where extra votes are cast illegally to manipulate results.
"Only the Turks can decide their political organization. But figures already published show that Turkish society is divided on this planned important reforms," it said, calling for "a free and sincere dialogue" in Turkey among all components of political and social life.
Erdogan has lashed back at the OSCE international monitors' initial findings, telling them to "know their place," Reuters reports.
He said that Turkey did not "see, hear or acknowledge" the observer mission's reports and accused some European countries of showing more opposition to the constitutional changes than Turkey's own opposition parties.
Relations between Turkey and Europe's powerhouse nations have come under strain over Erdogan's comments that he would seek the restoration of the death penalty -- a move that would sink Turkey's long-stalled bid to join the European Union.
"We have said this over and over in my speeches. As I said this will come before the parliament and if it is passed from the parliament, I would approve this. I would confirm. Why? Because we do not have the authority to forgive the murders of our martyrs," Erdogan said at a rally Monday.

Turkey on Wednesday issued a decree that transfers some powers to the president, as the country moves to an executive presidential system following President Tayyip Erdogan's win in last month's presidential and parliamentary elections.
The decree, issued in the government's official gazette, makes changes to laws dating from 1924 to 2017, removes references to the prime minister — whose office has been abolished and replaces them with "president."

When the changes will come into effect: The changes in the latest decree will take effect when Erdogan takes the oath of office, which is expected to happen in parliament on July 8 or 9.
The new presidential system: In a constitutional referendum in April 2017, a slim majority of Turkish voters approved the presidential system. The constitutional change allowed the winner of the 2018 presidential election to assume full control of the government.

Term limits: The president is limited to two five-year presidential terms, but if the parliament calls early elections during the second term the president may run for a third term.
Erdogan's rise to power: Erdogan served as prime minister of Turkey, formerly the country's most powerful post, from 2003 until 2014. Plans to alter the system to place Turkey's meaningful political power in his new role were already in motion before his job swap in 2014; before the April 2017 referendum, the presidential role was largely ceremonial. Erdogan was reelected president in snap presidential elections in June 2018, having called them more than a year ahead of schedule. That was the final hurdle to implementing his desired reforms, opposition candidates had pledged to repeal some or all of them if they had won.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? The rise of Turkey's Erdogan In Turkey and abroad, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has a polarizing effect. He has been described as a neo-Ottoman "sultan" as well as an authoritarian leader. From his early beginnings campaigning for Islamist causes to leading NATO's second largest military as the president of Turkey, DW explores the rise of the Turkish leader.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Jailed mayor of Istanbul After years of moving up the ranks of the Islamist-rooted Welfare Party, Erdogan was elected mayor of Istanbul in 1994. But four years later, the party was ruled unconstitutional on the grounds it threatened Turkey's secularist nature, and was disbanded. He was later jailed for four months for a controversial public reading of a poem, and consequently lost his mayorship over the conviction.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Leading the republic Erdogan co-founded the Justice and Development Party (AKP), which won a majority of seats in 2002. He was made prime minister in 2003. During his first years in office, Erdogan worked on providing social services, improving the economy and implementing democratic reforms. But some have argued that his premiership was also marked by a religious shift in the political sphere.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Islamist causes While Turkey's constitution guarantees the country's secular nature, observers believe Erdogan has managed to purge the "old secularist guard." The Turkish leader has said that one of his goals is to raise a "pious generation." Erdogan's supporters have hailed the Turkish leader's initiatives, arguing that they've reversed years of discrimination against practicing Muslims.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Surviving a coup In July 2016, a failed military coup targeting Erdogan and his government left more than 200 people dead, including civilians and soldiers. In the wake of the coup attempt, Erdogan declared a state of emergency and vowed to "clean up" the military. "In Turkey, armed forces are not governing the state or leading the state. They cannot," he said.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Nationwide crackdown Since the failed coup, authorities have launched a nationwide crackdown, arresting more than 50,000 people in the armed forces, police, judiciary, schools and media. Erdogan has blamed Fethullah Gulen, a self-exiled cleric in the US and former ally, and his supporters of trying to undermine the government. But rights groups believe the allegations are a means to solidify his power and influence.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? Divisive politician While Erdogan enjoys significant support in Turkey and the Turkish expatriate community, he has been criticized for his heavy-handed policies and military campaigns against Kurdish militants following the collapse of a peace process in 2015. This January, Erdogan launched a deadly offensive into the northern Syrian enclave of Afrin, an operation that was widely condemned by human rights groups.
Who is Turkey's Recep Tayyip Erdogan? A new era? Having served as Turkey's president since 2014, Erdogan successfully extended his time in office after winning elections in June. The elections marked Turkey's transition to an executive-style presidency. Observers believe the elections will herald a new era for Turkey – for better or worse. Author: Lewis Sanders IV

Question: Batali steps down from empire after allegations

NEWARK, N.J. — Mario Batali is giving up oversight of the daily operations at his restaurant empire following reports of sexual misconduct by the celebrity chef over a period of at least 20 years.
The online site Eater New York, part of Vox Media, reported Monday that the incidents involve at least four women, three of whom worked for Batali. The women, who were not named in the Eater story, claim that Batali engaged in behaviour including groping one’s chest and grabbing one from behind and holding her tightly against his body.
In a prepared statement sent to The Associated Press, Batali said that the complaints “match up” with his past behaviour.
“I take full responsibility and am deeply sorry for any pain, humiliation or discomfort I have caused to my peers, employees, customers, friends and family,” Batali said.
A spokesperson for Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group says an employee reported inappropriate behaviour by Batali in October. The company told Eater it was the first formal complaint against Batali and that he was reprimanded and required to attend training.
Batali will also take leave from his ABC cooking show, “The Chew.”
“We have asked Mario Batali to step away from The Chew while we review the allegations that have just recently come to our attention,” the network said Monday. “ABC takes matters like this very seriously as we are committed to a safe work environment. While we are unaware of any type of inappropriate behaviour involving him and anyone affiliated with the show, we will swiftly address any alleged violations of our standards of conduct.”
The allegations against Batali are just the latest in a series of incidents that include Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Louis C.K., Matt Lauer, resignations in the U.S. House and Senate and calls again for President Donald Trump to address sexual misconduct allegations that he’s faced. Last week Time magazine named the “silence breakers,” those that have shared their stories about sexual assault and harassment, as Person of the Year.
The 57-year-old Batali was well known in culinary circles, taking jobs early in his career as a sous chef at the Four Seasons in Santa Barbara and San Francisco.
His career took off after opening Po in New York City in the early 1990s, and he skyrocketed to fame with the airing of “Molto Mario,” a show that ran on the Food Network for eight years, until 2004. It was there that his signature look, a fleece vest, shorts, and orange Crocs, became instantly recognizable to most people.
The Food Network, which was planning to relaunch “Molto Mario,” said Monday that it was placing its plans on hold. “Food Network takes matters like this very seriously,” the network said in a statement.
Batali also co-owns restaurants in a handful of cities. The Batali & Bastianich Hospitality Group owns or operates several restaurants, including Babbo in New York, Carnevino Italian Steakhouse in Las Vegas and Pizzeria Mozza in Los Angeles. It’s also a partner in Eataly, an Italian food hall and grocer, which has locations in New York, Chicago and Boston.
Batali has long been socially active. The Mario Batali Foundation advocates child nutrition. He has come out forcefully against hydraulic fracturing, a method used to extract oil and gas.

Five female kitchen workers in Boston are detailing a sexual harassment lawsuit they’re filing against a national restaurant chain.
The Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Economic Justice, which represents the women, says the lawsuit being addressed Tuesday highlights the plight of women in low-wage positions like dishwashers, cleaners and cooks.
It comes as allegations of sexual misconduct have roiled American politics, media, film and other white-collar industries.
The lawyers’ committee, a Boston-based nonprofit, says the lawsuit alleges a workplace filled with “lewd behavior, sexually inappropriate comments and unwanted touching.”
The woman and their attorneys are expected to speak Tuesday. The committee hasn’t named the women or the restaurant chain yet.
Celebrity chef Mario Batali stepped away from his restaurant empire Monday after four women accused him of inappropriate touching.

MOUNT PLEASANT, S.C. — Coast Guard officials say a terminal at the Port of Charleston in South Carolina has been evacuated because of a claim about a threat aboard a ship.
Coast Guard Sector Charleston commander Capt. Greg Stump told WCIV-TV that employees were evacuated Wednesday night and a portion of the Cooper River has been closed.
Stump said a YouTube conspiracy theorist reported a suspected threat aboard a container ship in the port. He said authorities are investigating out of caution.
The commander said the threat is more to the vessel than public safety. No further details were available.

Question: Now's your chance to buy a historic mill

A mill nearly as old as Canada must be sold if it is to survive, its owner says, since the spring flood has just washed through it, and through her hopes of creating a bed and breakfast.
The mill on Brennan's Creek in Old Killaloe has been there since 1870. Owner Anette Clough says it's part country home, part storehouse of history.
"It has a pile of stuff in there: Manual wooden planes, sickles, big wagon wheels, things that fit around a horse's neck." There is equipment for sending flour down a chute into bags, and flour sifters, all pushed to one side of the building.
The other side is renovated: a three-bedroom home on the top two levels, and a smaller apartment with a separate entrance.
She and her soon-to-be ex-husband bought it about four years ago. The couple eventually split; she moved out two years ago and her husband left last fall. The mill has been unoccupied since then.
"I would love, love, love to keep the place. It's an incredible building. I would really love to turn it into a bed and breakfast," she said Monday.
Previous owners blasted out bedrock and put in a 50-kilowatt turbine that generates electricity for sale to the provincial grid. At least it did until a flood three years ago. Clough figures the turbine itself is still fine, but the turbine room may need electrical repairs.
"We almost had it ready to turn on, we had all the electricals checked and cleaned, and then we got flooded three years ago. And that is because we didn't have enough stop logs pulled out of the dam," she said.
With the couple splitting up, she can't afford to invest more money in repairs that are needed in one foundation wall, or in putting the turbine system back into shape.
It's a lovely setting, with a pond behind the dam, walking trails and a foot bridge to the far side of the creek.
"I haven't put it on the market yet because I haven't been wanting to sell it because I really love it. But looking at what happened this year..."
Last week, the rising runoff water spilled past the dam and through the first floor of the mill, in one door and out another.
Clough said a structural engineer looked at the mill since then, recommending repairs to one foundation wall and an overall review of the building when water levels drop.
Stop logs work like plugs in a drain, meaning they can be dropped into position in a dam or lifted out to control how much water can flow through. They are intended to be lifted out in fall, so that the spring flood has an opening where it can rush right through. But the logs are heavy, and Clough and her husband couldn't remove them all last fall, so the dam was partially blocked. Then spring came.
The result is familiar to anyone who has tried to flush a blocked toilet: Water backs up and overflows. It's now receding.
The Killaloe Post, an online magazine that's largely the work of local photographer Lynn Flokstra, recently traced the history of the mill that was built by an Irish immigrant in 1849, and rebuilt after a major fire in 1870.
"At its peak the mill was powered by one wood- and one water-powered engine and was in operation 24 hours a day grinding the wheat harvest for local farmers," the Post notes. "When flour was no longer profitable they ground grain for livestock feed. With the rise of national commercial mills local grain milling became a thing of the past."
The mill had a second life sawing and planing lumber from the 1940s until 1968.
If no one maintains the building, Clough says, "it could get worse, and then the town and the area lose something that has been there forever and is really amazing."

Question: WATCH: Shai Hope takes a stunner against New Zealand

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

New Delhi: If a list is prepared for on-field brilliance in one Test match then the second Test between New Zealand and West Indies would be right at the top.
After Trent Boult pulled a sensational follow through catch to send Shirmon Hetmyer packing, Windies star Shai Hope clinched a stunner to hand the visitors an early breakthrough on Day 2
Roach delivered one outside the off stump and Wagner went for a booming drive which took the outside half off the bat. Hope at gully dived towards his left at full stretch to take what turned to be one of the most brilliant catches at that position.
WATCH THE VIDEO HERE:

Australia have outclassed the Black Caps in their opening T20 tri-series match, cruising to a seven wicket win at the SCG in Sydney tonight.
12.46am: 11.3 overs, AUS 96/2 - Maxwell 40, Carey*

12.37am: 9 overs, AUS 71/2 - Lynn 35, Maxwell 25

12.16am: 4 overs, AUS 27/2 - Lynn 17, Maxwell*
FOUR! Chris Lynn picks up two boundaries in that over. Not a bad over by spinner Mitch Santner but Lynn is just too strong and powerful.
12.07am: 2.1 overs, AUS 10/2 - Warner 6, Lynn*
OUT! A perfect start for the Black Caps! Trent Boult bowls a bouncer to David Warner and he hits it straight to Tom Bruce who juggles it before making a clever catch on the boundary!
12.04am: 1.5 overs, AUS 10/1 - Warner 6, Short 4
WICKET! Tim Southee bowls to D'arcy Short and the Aussie batsman hits it hard to midwicket where Ross Taylor makes an easy catch. New Zealand get a much needed wicket.

Trent Boult is at the crease for the Black Caps, set to get things started for the New Zealand bowling attack.
11.55pm: We are set to get back underway here in Sydney. Australia need 95 runs to win the match with the second innings being reduced to 15 overs.
11.47pm: Still a waiting game at the moment in Sydney, the latest they can restart the match is about 12.30am for a possible five over whack for the Aussies.
11.35pm: The rain has come back so the match continues to be on hold. The rain isn't too heavy - hopefully we will have some action in 15-20 minutes.

11.24pm: The covers come off as the rain eases. The game is set to get back underway in about 15 minutes.
11.15pm:
10.52pm: NZ 117/9 - de Grandhomme 37, Sodhi 0

10.32pm: 16 overs, NZ 90/6 - Taylor 24, de Grandhomme 24

10.22pm: 13.2 overs, NZ 67/5 - Taylor 21, de Grandhomme 5
FOUR! Stanlake bowls to Colin de Grandhomme and the NZ batsman pulls it over midwicket, just short of being a maximum. New Zealand need boundaries and quick if they are to put up a formidable total.

WICKET! Zampa bowls to Blunder and the NZ batsman tries to go for a maximum but he's caught by Richardson on the boundary at long off. Colin de Grandhomme enters the match for NZ.
10.10pm: 10.3 overs, NZ 51/4 - Taylor 16, Blundell 10
NOT OUT! Zampa bowls to Ross Taylor and the Aussies appeal for an LBW. David Warner calls for a review. The third umpire rules no inside edge and the ball isn't hitting outside off stump.
9.55pm: 7.2 overs, NZ 34/4 - Williamson 8, Taylor 11
OUT! Tye bowls to Kane Williamson - it's a short of a length at off stump delivery. Williamson looked to work it into the leg side but he hits it straight up in the air and David Warner turns and makes a comfortable catch over his shoulder.
9.44pm: 4.4 overs, NZ 22/3 - Williamson 3, Taylor 4
FOUR! Richardson bowls to Taylor there's a touch of width outside off and Taylor plays a slashing cut, takes a top edge and goes through the gap. New Zealand came close to losing another wicket. Taylor and Williamson really need to get going now as Australia build in confidence.
9.38pm: 3.2 overs, NZ 16/3 - Williamson 1, Bruce 3
WICKET! Stanlake bowls to Bruce and he has three wickets! Stanlake bowls it short over middle and off and the Kiwi batsman can't control his hook shot. It takes a top edge and is caught easily on the long-leg boundary. New Zealand in real trouble now - Ross Taylor joins his skipper in the middle.
9.27pm: 1.2 overs, NZ 11/2 - Guptill 5, Williamson*

A good solid start from the Kiwi openers.
9.20pm: NZ 0/0 - Munro*, Guptill*
9.11pm: Australia have won the toss and have elected to bowl first.
PRE-MATCH:
The Black Caps haven't played at the Sydney Cricket Ground against Australia in a T20 match since 2009.
Colin Munro is set to return to the starting side after injuring his hamstring which forced him out in New Zealand's last T20 match against Pakistan last month.
Australia will be without Pat Cummins, Mitch Starc and Josh Hazlewood who were not named in the squad and will look to their Big Bash League bowlers to fill their shoes.
Black Caps' coach Mike Hesson believes tonight's match will be a tough one even though his side sits higher than Australia in the world rankings.
"It's a great opportunity for us to challenge ourselves obviously against a good side," said Hesson.
New Zealand sit second on the world T20 rankings with Australia ranked seventh.
"A side that's confident, perhaps a little inexperienced in terms of international cricket but certainly experienced in these conditions.
"It's a good opportunity to see where we are at as a T20 group."
TEAMS:
Australia: David Warner (c), Aaron Finch (vc), Ashton Agar, Alex Carey, Ben Dwarshuis, Travis Head, Chris Lynn, Glenn Maxwell, Kane Richardson, D'Arcy Short, Billy Stanlake, Marcus Stoinis, Andrew Tye, Adam Zampa.
New Zealand: Kane Williamson (c), Tom Blundell, Trent Boult, Tom Bruce, Colin de Grandhomme, Martin Guptill, Anaru Kitchen, Colin Munro, Seth Rance, Mitchell Santner, Ish Sodhi, Tim Southee, Ross Taylor, Ben Wheeler.
Stanlake to Guptill, OUT , what a ball! He's on a hat-trick! Good length at off stump, nips off the seam, beats the outside edge and takes the top of off stump. That's a beauty

Question: Chang Redux: US man employs underhand serves at French Open

PARIS — A young American man tried an underhand serve while cramping during a five-setter at the French Open. Hmm. Seen that before, haven't we?
Except there was one key difference this time: For 21-year-old Jared Donaldson against No. 4-seed Grigor Dimitrov on Wednesday, unlike for 17-year-old — and eventual tournament champion — Michael Chang against Ivan Lendl in 1989, the unorthodox strategy didn't come in a victory.
Dimitrov came back to beat the 57th-ranked Donaldson 6-7 (2), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4, 10-8 in a second-round match that lasted 4 hours, 19 minutes on the new Court 18 at Roland Garros. The most memorable aspect was Donaldson's two unusual service motions; he won the point the first time, but not the other.
"I would never try it if I was feeling 100 per cent and stuff," said Donaldson, who could barely move by the end because of painful cramps in his legs. "But obviously Grigor was playing so far back on the return that I felt like, 'You know, maybe it's just something that I'll try.' He obviously wasn't expecting it, you know what I mean? It's kind of a cheeky way to get a point."
Donaldson said he has never seen footage of what Chang did 29 years ago. He did, however, know of the episode: Chang used an underhand serve while cramping during a fourth-round win over Lendl on the way to the French Open title; he remains the youngest man to win a major singles championship.
Dimitrov was not angered by the tactic.
Quite the opposite, actually, shrugging his shoulders and conceding it was smart for Donaldson to try it.
"It was beautiful, right?" Dimitrov said. "He wanted to use something different to kind of try to put me off guard."
Before his first underhand attempt, Donaldson was actually two points from the victory, leading 6-5 in the fifth set and at love-30 on Dimitrov's serve. But Dimitrov took the next four points.
In the next game, at 6-all, 40-30, Donaldson successfully used the underhand motion. He hit a short serve that two-time Grand Slam semifinalist Dimitrov returned long to allow Donaldson to hold.

"At my school, we recently had a lockdown drill," Choucron, 13, said, reading from a piece of paper. "One thing that affects mine and others' mental health is the worry that we or our friends could get shot at school."
Choucron, a student at Marin Country Day School in California, continued: "Specifically, can you tell me what the administration has done and will do to prevent these senseless tragedies?"
Sanders appeared to tear up during her response.

"This administration takes it seriously and the school safety commission that the president convened is meeting this week, again, an official meeting, to discuss the best ways forward and how we can do every single thing within our power to protect kids within our schools and to make them feel safe and to make their parents feel good about dropping them off."

Question: Love Island viewers furiously complain about content of X-rated show - but not because of the sex scenes

Love Island has, once again, become a topic of national conversation – not least because two of the couples have popped their respective having-sex-on-telly cherries.
But some viewers have been disgusted by what's happening on their screens, and have taken to social media to complain bitterly about the content of the X-rated show.
However, it's not the bed-swapping duvet-shaking romping that's getting them hot under the collar – but something else entirely.
"All these pretty girls in love island smoking pack it in," one viewer pointed out on Twitter.

" @LoveIsland sponsored by Lambert & Butler again this year!!! Glamourising smoking #LoveIsland #nastyhabit #smelly #notnice #whysmoke ," wrote another.
A third said: " @LoveIsland on the application for the show is there a section dedicated for smoking ? Can't believe how many smoke #why ."
That wasn't all that was riling up fans – others flocked to Twitter to blast the cast for their profanity-drenched conversation.
"I don't realise how much swearing it in love island until I watch it with my mother," argued one viewer.

"Chris is like a year 7 swearing unnecessarily every other word," said a second.
"Stop. Swearing. At. People. #LoveIsland ," added another.
But while many were turned off by the smoking and swearing, Love Island actually attracted a record audience share of 1.5million viewers for last night's show, which saw Jess Shears and Dom Lever have sex in the Hideaway, while their co-stars Amber Davies and Kem Cetinay got jiggy under the sheets in the main bedroom.

Question: BBB: Gift cards and new buying trends

The demand for gift cards fluctuates from year to year, and Connecticut Better Business Bureau says this year’s forecasts reveal a strong demand for them.
A survey last year from financial publisher Bankrate found more than half of us intend to buy at least one gift card as a present, but only 27 percent of people prefer to receive a gift card as opposed to a tangible item.
“Gift cards have been one of the most popular holiday presents for decades and that has not changed,” according to Connecticut BBB spokesman Howard Schwartz. “What has changed is the way consumers intend to spend money this holiday season, whether they buy a gift card for someone else or for themselves. That freedom is one of the reasons for cards’ popularity.”
The market research company NPD Group’s 2017 Holiday Purchase Intentions Study reveals 39 percent of consumers plan to purchase so-called experiential gifts this holiday season. Those are gifts such as wine tastings, concert tickets, and spa treatments, and gift cards are a convenient way to pay for those.
Gift cards are also popular with retailers. Historically, three out of four people spend more money than the value of the card.
If you receive a gift card as a present but don’t want it, there are websites that allow you to buy or sell gift cards. Cards with the highest trade-in value are from gas stations, retail chains and grocery stores. They usually sell for 80 to 90 cents on the dollar, while less popular cards can go for half their face value or less. Check out gift card exchange websites at bbb.orgto verify if they are legitimate and have any complaints.
BBB offers some tips to help you get the most out of your gift cards:
Buy them where an employee can see them — If the gift cards are on a rack out of view — a thief can tamper with them, transfer the value of the card and then return it to the rack.
Use them or lose them — As much as 10 percent of gift cards are never redeemed because they get misplaced, forgotten or lost. Another reason to use them as soon as possible is in case a business shuts down and the card cannot be used.
Treat your card like cash — If the card is lost or stolen, contact the issuer immediately. Some will re-issue a card for a fee but others will not. That is another reason to include the original receipt with the gift card before you give it.
Be very careful buying from an individual — If someone is selling gift cards online through a classified ad site for example, you risk buying a stolen, counterfeit or empty card without any opportunity to get your money back in the event of fraud.
Some cards have fees — This applies to cards issued by banks. They can charge fees for inactivity if they are not used within 12 months. In contrast, under Connecticut law, gift cards cannot have an expiration date or inactivity fees, even if the card is purchased from another state.

The BBB warns the drawbacks to buying gift cards following Toys R Us store closures. (Source BBB)
Monica Horton with the Better Business Bureau joined Anchor Jake Garcia on Monday during our noon newscast to speak about gift cards and their drawbacks when the store goes out of business.
Horton said they may seem like the perfect gift for a friend or family member that is hard to shop for. But for many, like Toys R Us customers, they can have their drawbacks.
Horton said under normal circumstances, gift cards are valid for years or indefinitely. For Toys R Us gift card holders, they now have 30 days to use their cards.
When a store files for bankruptcy, gift card holders are out of luck or with limited options, says Horton, but she offered the following tips when it comes to buying gift cards.
BBB Tips: Gift Cards and Bankruptcy
· Before buying a gift card, look into the retailer’s financial condition: If news articles report that a company is on shaky ground, it might be best to purchase a gift card from another retailer.

Question: Europe could suffer collateral damage in US-China trade war

FRANKFURT – European businesses are unsettled as they watch the U.S. and China collide over trade.
And for good reason: the nascent global trade war presents the biggest threat to the economic upswing that has helped the region get past its financial crisis.
In theory, some European companies could benefit, jumping into market niches if Chinese businesses are kept out of the U.S. market. But that would only be a few companies or sectors.
When your entire economy is heavily dependent on trade, an overall slowdown in global commerce caused by tit-for-tat import taxes provokes fear and undermines confidence.
And that’s just what’s happening in Europe. By one measure, business confidence has fallen in six of the past seven months in Germany, where exports are almost half of annual economic output.

Both countries are planning to put a 25 percent duty on £25.78billion ($34billion) worth of products on Friday July 6, but because Beijing is 12 hours ahead of Washington China will be implementing them first. Donald Trump’s administration first declared the US would slap tariffs on Chinese products that cover more than 800 categories. China is just retaliating to Mr Trump’s escalating threats and isolationist trade policies. The tariff will take effect at the beginning of the day, but a specific time for China is unclear.
An anonymous source told Reuters that the US will implement their tariffs from midnight. They said: “Our measures are equal and being equal means that if the US starts on July 6, we start on July 6. “The implementation time for all policies starts at midnight.” The China’s customs agency did not respond to Reuters’ requests for comment.
GETTY China's tariff will hit the US first
However, if China were to implement their tariffs at midnight on July 6, it would still be July 5 in Washington. The threat of a trade war has sent the Chinese yuan into a tailspin as the stock market remains jittery. Yesterday, the currency hit an 11-month low as investors and traders are uncertain about the increased tensions between the world’s two biggest economies. The market is expected to remain this way until July 6.

A market strategist at the Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank says it is too early to tell what the tariff’s impact will be on the global economy, but it has already caused rife speculation in China. Ayako Sera said: “It's not clear yet if the trade row will derail the global economy as a whole but it's already clear that it will harm Chinese companies. "That is why we've seen Chinese yuan and Chinese stocks have suffered sell-offs. I think this will continue at least until the July 6 deadline." The tailspin isn’t expected to be a repeat of 2015 where the Chinese market unexpectedly repeat allowed the currency to weaken nearly three percent again the US dollar.

The son of Washington manager Dusty Baker was drafted by the Nationals in the 27th round of the Major League Baseball draft Wednesday — 15 years after he first made headlines on the baseball diamond.
The younger Baker, now an 18-year-old shortstop at Jesuit High School in California, was just 3 when he was a bat boy for the San Francisco Giants, managed by his father, in the 2002 World Series. During Game 5 against the Angels, Darren Baker had run to the plate to pick up a bat when J.T. Snow scored — and David Bell was flying down the third-base line and heading home.

Question: Swift justice: Jury takes Taylor's side in groping lawsuit

Taylor Swift won $1 and long-awaited vindication after a jury decided that a radio host groped her during a pre-concert photo op four years ago.
After a weeklong trial over dueling lawsuits, jurors determined that fired Denver DJ David Mueller assaulted the pop star by grabbing her backside during a backstage meet-and-greet. The six-woman, two-man jury also found that Swift’s mother and radio liaison were within their rights to contact Mueller’s bosses.
Mueller sued the Swifts and their radio handler, Frank Bell, seeking up to $3 million for his ruined career.
Just before closing arguments, the judge dismissed Taylor Swift from Mueller’s lawsuit, saying he had failed to prove that she sought to get Mueller fired or had any reason to believe that someone else may have assaulted her. U.S. District Judge William Martinez also drastically reduced the amount Mueller could collect.
The singer-songwriter said in her countersuit that she wanted a symbolic $1 and the chance to stand up for other women.
Testimony showed that Swift reported the incident to her mother and others on her team, but that she never sought any specific action regarding Mueller.
From the start, Swift’s side portrayed the encounter as a clear case of sexual assault, even though they never reported it to police. Her mother tearfully testified that she asked Bell to reach out to Mueller’s employers at country station KYGO-FM instead because they wanted to handle the matter quietly and avoid exposing the singer-songwriter to publicity.
Bell contacted a station vice president and asked for an investigation of Mueller’s conduct. He also sent the station executive a photo taken of Swift, Mueller and Mueller’s then-girlfriend at the meet-and-greet.
In a fiery hourlong stint on the witness stand last week, Swift blasted a low-key characterization by Mueller’s attorney, Gabriel McFarland, of what happened. While Mueller testified he never grabbed Swift, she insisted she was groped.
“He stayed attached to my bare ass-cheek as I lurched away from him,” Swift testified.
“It was a definite grab. A very long grab,” she added.
Mueller emphatically denied reaching under the pop star’s skirt or otherwise touching her inappropriately, insisting he touched only her ribs and may have brushed the outside of her skirt as they awkwardly posed for the picture.
That photo was virtually the evidence besides the testimony. In the image shown to jurors during opening statements but not publicly released, Mueller’s hand is behind Swift, just below her waist. Both are smiling. Mueller’s then-girlfriend is standing on the other side of Swift.
Swift testified that after she was groped, she numbly told Mueller and his girlfriend, “Thank you for coming,” and moved on to photos with others waiting in line because she did not want to disappoint them.
But she said she immediately went to her photographer after the meet-and-greet ended and found the photo of her with Mueller, telling the photographer what happened.
Andrea Swift testified that she asked Bell to call Mueller’s employers. They did not call the police to avoid further traumatizing her daughter, she said.
“We absolutely wanted to keep it private, but we didn’t want him to get away with it,” Andrea Swift testified.
Bell said he emailed the photo to Robert Call, KYGO’s general manager, for use in Call’s investigation of Mueller. He said he didn’t ask that Mueller be fired but that “appropriate action be taken.”

Question: Romney seeks Marriott post he can't hold as a US Senator

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Mitt Romney is running for re-election to Marriott International's board of directors, but his campaign said Monday that he'll resign from that post if elected in November to the U.S. Senate, which bars senators from serving as an officer or board member of any publicly-held company.
The Utah Senate candidate and former Republican presidential candidate is one of 14 members of Marriott's board running for another year-long term, according to the hotel chain's filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Friday.
The board members will be up for re-election at the corporation's annual stockholder meeting on May 4.
The Republican, who is well-known and popular in Utah, is expected to win the race to replace retiring Sen. Orrin Hatch.
Romney's spokeswoman MJ Henshaw said Monday that Romney would comply with U.S. Senate rules and resign from the Marriott board if elected in November.
Marriott spokeswoman Connie Kim declined to comment.
Romney, who has longstanding ties to the Marriott family, has served on Marriott's board off-and-on since 1993.
He resigned from the board in 2002 to campaign for Massachusetts governor. He later rejoined the board in 2009 but left again in 2011 to start his campaign for U.S. president.
Romney, whose full name is Willard Mitt Romney, was named after Marriott founder J.W. Marriott, a close friend of Romney's father. Marriott's full name was John Willard Marriott.
If Romney stayed on the board, the now 71-year-old would run up next year against the company's mandatory retirement for board members at age 72.
The company's SEC filings show Romney was paid $247,299 in 2016 in cash, stocks and other compensation.
The filings were first reported by Bloomberg on Friday.

19 soldiers from Utah National Guard honored
A total of 19 soldiers of the special forces unit of the Utah National Guard were honored over the weekend for their service during a 2007 mission in Afghanistan, according to the Deseret News.
Three soldiers received Purple Hearts, while five others received the Bronze Star and seven received an Army Commendation Medal.
Gov. Gary Herbert pinned the awards to each of the soldiers’ chests.
"It's incredibly humbling," Staff Sgt. Walrath, who received a Silver Star, told the Deseret News (only last names of the soldiers were announced because of security concerns). "I really didn't do anything more than my job, and that's not me being humble, that's just the fact."

A conversation with Gail Miller
What has life been like for Gail Miller after her husband Larry H. Miller passed away?
The Deseret News learned about that and much more in an interview with Miller, which was published Sunday.
Miller, who recently released a book called “Courage to Be You,” spoke about how she handles being a woman in a leadership role and how she and her husband lived through their faith.
She also talked about the red-hot Utah Jazz, which is owned by the Millers.
“They represent excellence, which is what we’re all about,” she said. “It starts with us teaching the management of the team, the general manager, the coach, spending time with them to help them understand that we do have values and we do have expectations and we don’t want players in here who would sully our name or bring in a bad element.”

Putin won an election Sunday that gave him power for six more years at the very least. The victory is his fourth victory in an election.
Putin faced only minor candidates after a serious contender for the position was banned from running, according to the AP.
“His only real challenge was to run up the tally so high that he could claim an indisputable mandate,” the AP reported.

Longtime Salt Lake County clerk has a new rival … her own employee
Longtime Salt Lake County clerk Sherrie Swensen has a new political rival gunning for her spot — Rozan Mitchell, one of her “right-hand employees,” according to the Deseret News.
Mitchell planned to run against Swensen in this year’s local election for the open county seat after people continued to ask her why she wasn’t running.
Mitchell, a Republican, and Swensen, a Democrat, will hope to remain as bipartisan as possible during the race.
"Sherrie's 28 years have brought some amazing experiences and opportunities to that office — but 28 years is a long time, and I really feel that it's time for a change," Mitchell said, according to the Deseret News.

Question: Does Ambien Have Some Intense Side Effects? Yes, but They Don’t Include Racism

Call it the Ambien alibi: After tweeting some extremely racist and offensive remarks about Valerie Jarrett, a former Obama White House aide, earlier this week, Roseanne Barr is now blaming her inexcusable comments on the common sleep aid Ambien.
The now-deleted tweet read: “guys I did something unforgiveable [sic] so do not defend me. It was 2 in the morning and I was ambien-tweeting-it was memorial day too-i went 2 far & do not want it defended-it was egregious Indefensible,” she wrote. “I made a mistake I wish I hadn’t but… don’t defend it please. ty,” People reported.
Not surprisingly, this has elicited plenty of responses on Twitter and elsewhere, mostly focusing on the fact that whether or not she was on Ambien, her comments and intention were still rooted in racism — which does not happen to be one of the side effects of the drug.

In fact, Sanofi, one of the pharmaceutical companies that makes Ambien, chimed in on Twitter writing: "People of all races, religions and nationalities work at Sanofi every day to improve the lives of people around the world. While all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication."

So, what are the side effects of Ambien? We spoke with a few doctors to find out if Barr's Ambien defense holds up.
The actual side effects of Ambien
Ambien is the brand name of the drug zolpidem, a sedative used to treat insomnia, Dr. David Belk, an internal medicine physician, tells SheKnows. In short, Ambien affects people in ways similar to other common hypnotics and antianxiety drugs, such as Valium or Ativan, all of which have side effects that can be very similar to those of alcohol, Belk explains.
According to Belk, some of the known side effects of Ambien include excessive sedation, confusion and disorientation, lack of motor coordination, slow response times, delayed reflex reactions, dizziness, hallucinations, impaired judgment and aggression.
Like any drug, Ambien affects everyone differently; not everyone who takes it falls asleep.
"If it doesn’t actually put you to sleep, some side effects could be finding yourself in a halfway state of being awake and sleeping," Dr. Prakash Masand, a psychiatrist and founder of the Centers of Psychiatric Excellence, tells SheKnows. These could include unusual behaviors like sleepwalking, sleep-talking, performing certain activities, making food, calling people or ordering products online. Then, when you become fully awake, some people have amnesia about these things and no recollection whatsoever of having done them, he adds.
But what's definitely not a side effect of Ambien? Racism.
Based on the known side effects, Belk says that "no one could say for sure" that a person who has taken Ambien couldn't send out a racist tweet any more than a person who is drunk might do so. "That said, I can't find any report of anyone acting this way simply because they took zolpidem, nor do I think it would matter much," he notes. "After all, if Roseanne had claimed that she only sent out that tweet because she drank too much that night, would we accept that excuse?"
So, does Barr's Ambien alibi have legs at all?
According to psychiatrist Dr. Alex Dimitriu, if Barr took Ambien anytime within four to five hours (or possibly longer) before the tweet, it is possible that her behavior may have been influenced by the drug. He says it's not uncommon for people to forget what they are doing after taking the medication, especially when they do not successfully go to sleep.
More: The Simple Thing You Can Do to Sleep Better Tonight
"Ambien can cause disinhibition — in other words causing people to do things without thinking through the consequences," Masand explains. "Due to this, the only thing Ambien likely did to Roseanne was lower or remove her inhibition and allow her to reveal her true feelings without giving it a second thought. But to try and blame her racist remarks on the medication itself is unfounded."
So, playing fast and loose with Twitter is one thing, but the racism is all her.
"The alibi of being under the influence of Ambien or zolpidem does not stand," Dr. Niket Sonpal, the associate program director of the internal medicine residency at Brookdale Hospital Medical Center in Brooklyn, tells SheKnows. "It would not change her feelings or opinions on a specific topic."
Is Barr more affected by the drug because she's a woman? Dr. Gail Saltz, an associate professor of psychiatry at the NY Presbyterian Hospital Weill-Cornell School of Medicine, tells SheKnows that women are more prone to side effects than men because we metabolize the drug more slowly than they do, and for this reason, it is generally recommended that women take a smaller dose. But again, not an excuse for racism.
A popular defense
Barr is hardly the first famous person to use Ambien as an alibi for questionable decision-making. Not one, but two members of the Kennedy family have blamed the sleeping pill for car crashes. The first happened in 2006, when then-Congressperson Robert Kennedy (son of Sen. Ted Kennedy) said that taking Ambien and an anti-nausea drug caused him to crash his car into a barricade on Capitol Hill, CNN reported. Then, in July 2012, Kerry Kennedy (daughter of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy) said that she had inadvertently taken Ambien instead of her thyroid medication right before getting into a car accident, CNN also reported.
Similarly, Ambien (along with Vicodin, Dilaudid, Xanax and THC) was found in Tiger Woods' system after his DUI arrest in 2017, though the police officers who pulled him over initially thought he had been drinking alcohol, People reported.
In 2017, Elon Musk sent a barrage of odd tweets including comments about vintage records, being 500 years old and his seven-step facial treatment, Mashable reported. Musk later conceded in another message that "tweeting on Ambien isn't wise."
Back in March 2018, Sean Penn also blamed Ambien for his strange behavior during an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, which included looking lethargic and disheveled and smoking two cigarettes, People reported.
And it's not just celebrities: An entire section of Reddit is devoted to "things you did on Ambien," New York Magazine reported in 2017. These include building a bathroom cabinet with no memory of doing so, having a dream in which Kid Cudi writes the Declaration of Independence whilst sitting on a piano made of cherries and reorganizing a kitchen.
But this goes beyond tabloid fodder: the Ambien alibi can end up preventing people from getting the treatment they need.
"It is a real problem when celebrities blame a medication that many people need and benefit from for mental health purposes because it frightens people using the medication, sometimes a medication they really need," Saltz adds. "Many people won’t be reassured by a psychiatrist telling them that this purported 'side effect' is untrue."
