Question: Hawaii man says he’s devastated about sending missile alert

HONOLULU (AP) — A former Hawaii state worker who sent a false missile alert last month said Friday he’s devastated about causing panic but was “100 percent sure” at the time that the attack was real.
The man in his 50s spoke to reporters on the condition that he not be identified because he fears for his safety after receiving threats.
He says an on-duty call that came in on Jan. 13 didn’t sound like a drill. However, state officials say other workers clearly heard the word “exercise” repeated several times.
“Immediately afterward, we find out it was a drill and I was devastated. I still feel very badly about it,” he said. “I felt sick afterward. It was like a body blow.”
He’s had difficulty eating and sleeping since, he said: “It’s been hell for me the last couple weeks.”
The Hawaii Emergency Management Agency fired him after the incident.
The man’s superiors said they knew for years that he had problems performing his job. The worker had mistakenly believed drills for tsunami and fire warnings were actual events, and colleagues were not comfortable working with him, the state said.
His supervisors counseled him but kept him for a decade in a position that had to be renewed each year.
The ex-worker disputed that, saying he wasn’t aware of any performance problems.
While starting a Saturday shift at the emergency operations center in a former bunker in Honolulu’s Diamond Head crater on Jan. 13, the man said, a co-worker took a phone call over the U.S. Pacific Command secure line that sounded like a real warning, he said.
“When the phone call came in, someone picked up the receiver instead of hitting speaker phone so that everyone could hear the message,” he said.
The man said he didn’t hear the beginning of the message that said, “exercise, exercise, exercise.”
“I heard the part, ‘this is not a drill,'” he said. “I didn’t hear exercise at all in the message or from my co-workers.”
Federal and state reports say the agency had a vague checklist for missile alerts, allowing workers to interpret the steps they should follow differently. Managers didn’t require a second person to sign off on alerts before they were sent, and the agency lacked any preparation on how to correct a false warning.
Those details emerged Tuesday in reports on investigations about how the agency mistakenly blasted cellphones and broadcast stations with the missile warning.
It took nearly 40 minutes for the agency to figure out a way to retract the false alert on the same platforms it was sent to.
“The protocols were not in place. It was a sense of urgency to put it in place as soon as possible. But those protocols were not developed to the point they should have,” retired Brig. Gen. Bruce Oliveira, who wrote the report on Hawaii’s internal investigation, said at a news conference.
Hawaii Emergency Management Agency Administrator Vern Miyagi resigned as the reports were released. Officials revealed that the employee who sent the alert was fired Jan. 26. The state did not name him.
The agency’s executive officer, Toby Clairmont, said Wednesday that he stepped down because it was clear action would be taken against agency leaders after the alert.
Another employee was being suspended without pay, officials said.
The incident “shines a light” on the state’s system failures, the man who sent the alert said, adding that he believes the federal government should handle such alerts.
Testing of the alert system began in November and protocols were constantly changing, he said. “As far as our level of training was concerned, I think it was inadequate,” he said.
Hawaii state Department of Defense spokesman Lt. Col. Charles Anthony declined to comment on what the former worker said.
Officials said the man refused to cooperate with state or federal investigations beyond providing a written statement. He wasn’t trying to impede any investigations, he said: “There really wasn’t anything else to say.”
___
This story has been corrected to say a co-worker took the call, not the man who sent the alert.

Question: White Supremacist Site Is Banned By GoDaddy After Virginia Rally

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

The Daily Stormer, a Neo-Nazi website that promoted the "Unite the Right" rally in Charlottesville, Va., will no longer be hosted by GoDaddy, after the service received calls to ban the site over its hate-filled stories.
The Daily Stormer is now seen as trying to spin the threat of being taken down, with the site posting a story that claims to be written by hackers affiliated with the activist group Anonymous. That story includes a threat to delete the site within 24 hours. But a main source of news about Anonymous says the group doesn't seem to be involved.
The dispute over the website comes after a violent weekend in Charlottesville culminated in the killing of Heather Heyer, 32, an anti-white nationalist protester. Police say James Alex Fields Jr., 20, killed Heyer when he drove his car into a crowd of people.
The Daily Stormer then published a story mocking Heyer and making light of the events in Virginia, prompting calls for GoDaddy, which hosts the site, to be taken down.
Posting a link to the offending story, women's rights advocate Amy Siskind wrote via Twitter, "@GoDaddy you host The Daily Stormer - they posted this on their site. Please retweet if you think this hate should be taken down & banned."
More than 6,500 people retweeted that message, and the web service replied late Sunday night, "We informed The Daily Stormer that they have 24 hours to move the domain to another provider, as they have violated our terms of service."
In the story on the Daily Stormer, the purported hackers say they'll delete the site by the same deadline set by GoDaddy. But in a break with notable hacking takeovers, the story doesn't appear as a message plastered on the front of the site; instead, it's published alongside other pieces, including the one about Heyer.
The Daily Stormer is published by Andrew Anglin, who also writes much of its most high-profile content; the site is supported by reader donations rather than by advertising.
The alleged hackers' message included the hashtag #TANGODOWN — a term that was quickly used by opponents of the site's views to celebrate its seeming demise. News organizations around the world ran stories about the apparent takeover, which had included the explanation, "this evil cannot be allowed to stand."
But a Twitter account that often relays news about Anonymous states, "We have no confirmation that 'Anonymous' is involved yet. Looks more like a DS stunt. Wonder if they are having issues finding a new host."
Referring to the all-caps message posted on the site — about an elite team targeting Anglin and his site — the account states, "We find claim that it took a 'UNITED FORCE OF ELITE HACKERS' to hack a CMS run by amateurs incredibly amusing."
People commenting on the Daily Stormer site also found the situation amusing, noting that the supposed hackers had said they had located Anglin and would be "sending our allies in Lagos to pay him a visit in person."
"LOL, this meme just won't end," one person wrote about the Lagos reference.
Earlier this year, Anglin's website was linked to an office in Worthington, Ohio, the Columbus suburb where he went to high school. As Columbus Alive reported, "Anglin's current whereabouts remain unknown."
The most popular response on the comment board was one that mocked people on Twitter who had announced the Daily Stormer had been taken over.
"Anglin you are a legend," one person wrote.

Question: Palestinians favour jailed leader Barghouthi as Abbas...

RAMALLAH, West Bank, July 4 (Reuters) - Marwan Barghouthi, a Palestinian uprising leader jailed for life by Israel, would win most votes if an election were held to find a successor for 82-year-old President Mahmoud Abbas, a survey released on Wednesday found.
The poll was conducted by the Ramallah-based Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research (PCPSR), which interviewed 2,150 adults in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Thirty percent of respondents named Barghouthi, a member of Abbas' Fatah faction whom an Israeli court handed five life sentenced for murder in 2004, as their favourite to replace the president.
Israel accuses Barghouthi, 59, of masterminding attacks by Fatah's armed wing, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades. Seen as a pragmatist, he enjoys strong grassroots support and has good relations with all factions, including with Islamist group Hamas.
The next most popular candidate was Ismail Haniyeh, head of the Islamist faction Hamas, with 23 percent support.
Questions about Abbas's prospects were raised by his eight-day hospitalisation in May for what officials said was a lung infection.
Wednesday's poll found that 61 percent of the public want Abbas to resign and 33 percent want him to stay in office.
Abbas became president in 2005 after the death of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, and pursued U.S.-led peace talks with Israel. But many Palestinians lost faith in him as his efforts yielded no gains and talks stalled in 2014.
Abbas' democratic mandate expired nine years ago, with no new elections set due to a Fatah-Hamas power struggle that has been exacerbated by Israeli controls on the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
Trailing Barghouthi and Haniyeh as mooted Abbas successors were Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and former Gaza strongman Mohammad Dahlan with 6 percent support each, West Bank activist Mustafa Barghouthi and former Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal (3 percent each), and ex-finance minister Salam Fayyad (2 percent).
The PCPSR poll found that 48 percent of Palestinians believe that, post-Abbas, rival factions would be able to agree on a new election; 41 percent said they did not believe this. (Writing by Dan Williams Editing by Nidal al-Mughrabi and Raissa Kasolowsky)

Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday called the US ambassador to Israel a "son of a dog" because of his support for Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.
Abbas, speaking at a Palestinian leadership gathering, also blamed Hamas for a bomb attack last week on the convoy of Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah in Gaza, remarks that threatened reconciliation efforts with the Islamist group.
The Palestinian leader accused Ambassador David Friedman of defending Israeli settlers in the West Bank by saying that they were building on "their land". The slur drew rebukes from the diplomat and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
In an angry tone, Abbas said: "The son of dog says they build on their land? He is a settler, and his family are settlers, and he is the US ambassador in Tel Aviv. What should we expect from him?"

Friedman, a strong supporter of Israel's settler movement, was an early and enthusiastic advocate of US President Donald Trump's Dec. 6 decision to recognise Jerusalem as Israel's capital and to move the US embassy there.
Friedman responded during a speech in Jerusalem to a conference on combating global anti-Semitism, saying: "His response was to refer to me as son of a dog. Anti-Semitism or political discourse? Not for me to judge, I leave that all up to you."
US Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt issued a statement calling Abbas' comment "highly inappropriate." He said the Palestinian leader needed "to choose between hateful rhetoric and concrete and practical efforts to improve the quality of life of his people.
The time has come for President Abbas to choose between hateful rhetoric and concrete and practical efforts to improve the quality of life of his people and lead them to peace and prosperity. â¦ 1/3 Jason D. Greenblatt (@jdgreenblatt45) March 19, 2018
Trump's announcement on Jerusalem delighted the Israeli government but infuriated Palestinians, who have staged regular protests since then.
Israel regards Jerusalem as its eternal and indivisible capital, although that is not recognised internationally. Palestinians feel equally strongly, saying that East Jerusalem must be the capital of a future Palestinian state.
Peace talks aimed at finding a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict have stalled, while Israeli settlement expansion has continued.
Netanyahu said Trump's decisions on Jerusalem appeared to have brought Abbas to the point of making a verbal attacks on a US official.
"For the first time in decades, the US administration has stopped spoiling the Palestinian leaders and tells them: enough is enough," Netanyahu said on Twitter. "Apparently the shock of the truth has caused them to lose it."
Blame for bombing
Addressing the rancour between Hamas and Fatah, Abbas said there had been "zero" progress in reconciliation, citing efforts to bring a power-sharing deal to bear on the crossings out of the Gaza Strip and on security within the enclave.
Relations have grown even worse since Hamdallah and Palestinian security chief Majid Faraj's convoy was attacked by a roadside bomb in the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip on March 13. They were uninjured.
"We congratulate the two big brothers (Hamdallah and Faraj) that they are safe after the sinful and despicable attack that was carried out against them by the Hamas movement in the Gaza Strip," Abbas said.
Abu Mazen's verbal attack on U.S. Ambassador David Friedman says it all.

He offered no evidence of Hamas' involvement but said he did not trust Hamas to investigate the incident honestly.
"We do not want investigation from them, we do not want information from them and we do not want anything from them because we know exactly that they, the Hamas movement, were the ones who committed this incident," he said.
Abbas said Hamas would have to give up control of Gaza or risk taking full responsibility for the enclave and its two million residents without any help from his Western-backed Palestinian Authority.
"In my capacity as the president of the Palestinian people I have tolerated much in order to regain unity and unite the homeland and I was met with rejection by Hamas and their illegitimate authority," he said.
Hamas called his comments irresponsible and said they aimed to "burn bridges and reinforce divisions." The group has previously denied involvement in the bombing.
Fatah and Hamas have tried for years to come to an accommodation over running the Gaza Strip, but have repeatedly failed to implement deals mainly brokered by Egypt.

Question: Ottawa proposes restricted pot labels, packages

The federal government says the Canadian public broadly supports the tight regulations it has proposed for marijuana packaging, which will include a bright red stop sign emblazoned with a pot leaf and the letters THC.
Health Canada unveiled the results Monday of a 60-day consultation around its proposed regulations, in which it emphasized a focus on reducing the appeal of marijuana to youth and preventing accidental consumption.
The proposed regulations would require logos to be a single colour, with no metallic or fluorescent finishes. Packages would have to be opaque and child-resistant, with a bright yellow health warning similar to those used on tobacco products.
“We are taking a public health approach to legalizing and regulating cannabis, and we are committed to keeping cannabis out of the hands of children and youth,” Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor said in a statement.
“Measures such as the packaging and labelling requirements announced today will help to achieve this goal.”
READ MORE: Legal marijuana won’t hit shelves before August
Packaging would also have to describe how much active ingredient is contained in the product, including THC and cannabidiol.
Cannabis legislation is currently before Parliament and none of the regulations are final until approved by legislators. Once approved, the restrictions will apply immediately to recreational marijuana, while a Health Canada official says medical marijuana packaging will be granted a six-month window to comply.
The consultation received more than 3,200 online submissions and 450 written responses, as well as input from health and law enforcement experts, governments, patient advocates and industry representatives.
Health Canada also proposed two new categories of small-scale producers — micro-cultivators and micro-processors — where lower-level security requirements would apply to businesses that grow or process smaller amounts of marijuana.
Micro-cultivators would be allowed to grow marijuana with a plant canopy of 200 square metres, which Health Canada described as equivalent to half the space between the blue lines on a standard Canadian hockey rink.
Legislation to legalize recreational marijuana is currently before the Senate, with the federal government hoping to see it passed and given royal assent by early July.
Geordon Omand, The Canadian Press

OTTAWA –The House of Commons Health Committee has completed its study of Bill C-45, the government’s bill to legalize marijuana, and has made some tweaks to the government’s proposal, including cutting out the height restriction on homegrown marijuana plants.
The original version of the legislation proposed by the government stated that when growing marijuana plants at home, the maximum plant height would be 100 centimetres. Now, any references to a specific height have been removed from the bill.
During the marathon testimony that saw more than 100 witnesses come before the committee, the point was raised that if a plant owner let their plant grow one centimetre too tall, they’d become a criminal.
Despite a wide range of other serious concerns about the legislation—from the impact on youth and the bill staying silent on edibles, to provinces and police forces’ preparedness—no other substantive amendments were passed.
The committee spent several hours over Monday, Oct. 2 and Tuesday, Oct. 3 considering amendments. The Liberal majority defeated the amendments proposed by the NDP at committee, while the Conservative members voted against all proposed amendments as they are opposed to marijuana becoming legal.
The committee did make more than 20 other mainly technical changes to Bill C-45, including adding the definition of a medical emergency as it relates to a psychoactive substance, for the purpose of exempting people from any potential charges if they call for help.
The legislation will also now be reviewed and reported back to Parliament three years after coming into force.
Other tweaks made were to the wording around promotion and ticketing; and it makes a related amendment to the Non-smokers’ Health Act, to address concerns around marijuana in the workplace. The committee added a definition of work space to essentially be any indoor or outdoor space where employees perform duties of their employment.
The government is eyeing July 2018 as their target to have marijuana legalized in Canada.

Question: The Medical Minute: Rate of Alzheimer’s Deaths on the Rise

represent the article to find a fitting news title:

Newswise — The rate of death from Alzheimer’s disease in the United States increased by more than 50 percent in the past 15 years, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
In part, it’s because Americans are living longer – age is one of the biggest risk factors for developing Alzheimer’s. But it’s also because medical professionals can identify risk factors, recognize the symptoms and diagnose the disease earlier.
In addition to cognitive impairment and behavioral decline, Alzheimer’s – which accounts for the majority of cases of dementia – causes deterioration of other systems of the body, leading physicians to include it as a cause of death alongside conditions it may cause, such as pneumonia or blot clots.
Now, Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death nationwide. It is estimated that one in every 10 Americans age 65 and older has Alzheimer’s dementia. Guidelines for diagnosing it were updated in 2012 to include use of biomarkers or genes to determine risk for the disease, in addition to family report, physician judgment and a neurological and cognitive exam.
“Those in their 80s are at the highest risk because that is the fastest-growing decade of Americans,” said Dr. Paul Eslinger, a clinical neuropsychologist at Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center.
Women account for two-thirds of Alzheimer’s cases. In part that’s because they typically live longer than men. Some recent studies also relate use of estrogen by women who have a genetic biomarker for Alzheimer’s to a significantly increased risk of developing the disease.
Alzheimer’s is typically considered to be a disease of the elderly because it is caused as brain cells gradually die off over the course of several years, even before the condition can be clinically diagnosed. Although its causes are unclear and there is no cure, some treatments can slow progression of the disease.
“Certain medications can provide the brain with some of the neurotransmitters it needs so it can function with the depleted number of cells it has and you can slow clinical symptoms such as memory loss,” said Dr. Claire Flaherty, a clinical neuropsychologist at Hershey Medical Center.
Eslinger said about 80 clinical trials in progress nationwide are focusing on toxic proteins – called amyloid plaques – in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. They explore a range of approaches, including boosting brain immune function, cell metabolism, blood flow and neurotransmitter efficiency.
Early detection of the disease is important because it allows individuals an opportunity to participate in such treatment trials, most of which are geared toward the early stages of the disease, when treatments are thought to be most effective.
Early diagnosis can also help clarify for families whether a loved one has Alzheimer’s or another condition that necessitates changes in their ability to work, drive, manage a household or live independently. Starting treatments early and managing lifestyle factors that can exacerbate symptoms are other benefits to detecting the disease sooner.
Advances in management of the medical and non-medical aspects of the disease are making it possible for more Alzheimer’s patients to finish their lives at home. While that can improve a patient’s quality of life, it can place incredible demands on caregivers.
The brunt of the burden falls on women, who account for two-thirds of all caregivers. They may need to leave the workforce early, reduce the hours they can work or make other career and lifestyle adjustments to provide the support an Alzheimer’s patient requires.
Flaherty said the problem is finally being recognized by local and state governments, which are forming plans to care for an aging population and an estimated tripling in the cases of Alzheimer’s in the next 30 years.
“We also have an extreme shortage of geriatric specialists in this country and those who are assigned to work with these Alzheimer’s patients are not always that well trained,” she said. “These are things that are now being addressed.”

Question: IFST champions food sustainability in new report

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

The Institute of Food Science & Technology (IFST) has launched a report to highlight the importance of suitability of the food system.
With a broad membership spanning the farm to fork continuum and a charitable objective to benefit the public, IFST aims to help support and guide developments in this area, particularly where food science and technology can be leveraged to address the challenges we all face.
‘Sustainable Food System Framework: A Focus on Food Sustainability’ outlines six key themes that are relevant to the Institute, its members and wider society.
The sustainability of the food system is critical, not only to those working in the food sector but also to every citizen on the planet.
Increasing pressure on our environmental resources – water, soil, air and biodiversity – within a context of climate change and subsequent social and economic changes will impact the way we live and interact with our environment.
John Bassett, IFST Policy and Scientific Development Director, said: “IFST Sustainable Food System Framework is intended as a beginning rather than a stand-alone piece of work, to guide the development of further, more specific outcomes that IFST can drive or support.
“We aim to provide practical support for those looking to implement sustainable practices, and proactive messaging to encourage joined up, evidence based policy and strategy development by UK government and food system stakeholders throughout the farm to fork continuum.”

In January 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development – adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at an historic UN Summit – officially came into force.
It means that until 2030, countries across the globe will continue to mobilise efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change.
For the Sustainable Development Goals to be reached, everyone needs to do their part, including universities such as Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU).
In July, GCU Principal and Vice-Chancellor Professor Pamela Gillies CBE FRSE joined fellow leaders to help shape the future of business and management education, and to support the global effort to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, at the 2017 Global Forum for Responsible Management Education.
The 2017 Global Forum provided a platform to celebrate ten years of the Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) initiative of the United Nations Global Compact, as well as raising awareness about the Sustainable Development Goals and highlighting their relevance in teaching, research and business engagement. At the Forum, over 660 business and management-related higher education institutions made a formal declaration to become sources of thought leadership, knowledge, and innovation to advance the 2030 agenda.
I was delighted that my support for PRME was recognised through a Pioneer Award and the University also received a 2017 Recognition of Excellence in Reporting Award for its Sharing Information on Progress Report.
As the University for the Common Good, GCU is playing a key role in the global transformation of business management education, in which corporate responsibility and sustainability are now fundamental concerns for all thought leaders and organisations.
In 2013, we became the first Scottish university to join the UN Global Compact, the world’s biggest voluntary corporate responsibility partnership. We are also one of only 30 members of the global PRME Champions Group, in recognition of the University’s leadership role.
While this may sound abstract, GCU is making practical inroads into educating local audiences about the Sustainable Development Goals, and, perhaps more significantly, is addressing multiple goals through its own research focus on healthy lives, inclusive societies and sustainable environments.
In June of this year, one of Scotland’s most successful businessmen, Jim McColl OBE, attended a GCU event to encourage businesses in Scotland to support the Sustainable Development Goals by stimulating dialogue and action in business and academic communities. His own company is working with young people from schools to implement a key goal – quality education. He said: “Business owners and companies can use their resources, talent and finance to give back to, and make changes in, their communities. If you can impact on global problems in such a simple way, why wouldn’t you?”
Indeed, tackling global problems through research is one of GCU’s strategic focus areas. Our researchers are currently involved in projects tackling poverty, and promoting quality education, good health and wellbeing, gender equality, clean water and sanitation, affordable and clean energy, reduced inequalities, sustainable cities and communities, and climate action. That is a significant number of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals towards which we are taking real and impactful action.
One of our flagship research centres – the Yunus Centre for Social Business and Health – is named in honour of our Chancellor and official Sustainable Development Goals Advocate, Nobel Laureate Professor Muhammad Yunus. The centre addresses several goals through pioneering research in microfinance, social business and health, and health economics. Recent GCU research conducted by its unique Centre for Climate Justice includes improving access to water among the poorest and most vulnerable groups in Malawi and Zambia. The Water for ALL project highlighted the need for governments to take a leading role by facilitating long-term investment in the sector and promoting initiatives which incorporate the right to water access. GCU researchers also have significant expertise in reducing the presence of pharmaceutical residues in waste water, and in the recovery of phosphorus from sewage treatment plants.
In health, GCU researchers are currently leading one of Europe’s largest ever inquiries into the diagnosis and treatment of knee osteoarthritis, and also have internationally renowned expertise in stroke, visual health, sexual health and blood-borne viruses and healthcare infection prevention. These example show the potential of higher education institutions to make significant contributions to this agenda, through research, community engagement and education. GCU is playing a leading role in this area and is committed to delivering economic and social benefits at home and abroad. It is important that higher education institutions, business and civil society come together to discuss matters of wider public concern and GCU is delighted to be making a real impact in making the Sustainable Development Goals a reality.

On reporter shouted, "What storm Mr. President?"
Trump responded, "You'll find out."

Question: Good Charlotte join Jimmy Eat World as Slam Dunk joint headliners

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Slam Dunk has revealed pop-punk titans Good Charlotte as joint-headliners of this year’s festival.
They will join the previously announced emo-rock legends Jimmy Eat World when the travelling festival returns in May.
Other new additions to the line-up include PVRIS, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Creeper, Thursday, Every Time I Die, Knuckle Puck, Crown The Empire and Real Friends.
Slam Dunk heads to the region on Monday, May 28, following previous shows in Leeds and Hatfield.
The Midlands leg is at the NEC in Birmingham.
From bursting into the public consciousness with their chart-conquering pop punk through to becoming true kings of their genre via stints on MTV and six huge studio albums, few bands have had the staying power of Good Charlotte.
Lead by the Madden brothers Benji and Joel, the multi-platinum stars will be at Slam Dunk to prove exactly why they've stayed at the top of their game over the past two decades.
Joining them will be Massachusetts three-piece PVRIS.
Since their inception in 2012 they've gone from strength to strength and garnered a legion of fans in the process.
They last played the festival in 2015, after which being originally booked for the new bands stage were upgraded to the main stage due to their sudden rise in popularity.
Now they return in 2018 to be one of the festival’s biggest artists.
After standing as one of the most recognisable voices in modern British rock over the past decade, Frank and his Rattlesnakes have had a mammoth rise over the past 18 months - releasing two vastly acclaimed albums, capturing festival audiences with sets of the weekends and culminating in their biggest headline show to date at London's Brixton Academy.
Carter said: “I cannot wait to play Slam Dunk – this has been an incredible couple of years for us, and I can’t think of a better way to start our festival season in 2018 than showing up and absolutely dominating at Slam Dunk.”
After seven years away, Thursday will return to the UK in 2018, with Slam Dunk Festival the only place to see one of the most hotly-anticipated reunions in alt-rock.
Lead by frontman Geoff Rickly, Thursday touched at the hearts and minds of a generation - with records like Full Collapse and War All The Time still heralded as some of the most influential snapshots in time that the genre has ever seen.
He said: “From the very first moment Thursday started playing shows again, we began to ask each other, ‘How can we get back to the UK?
“Well, we have finally found a way. We're very happy to be joining some of our oldest friends at Slam Dunk and we have a bunch of surprises still in store.”
After its most successful year to date in 2017, Slam Dunk Festival was crowned the Best Metropolitan Festival at the UK Festival Awards.
General admission tickets cost £49 or £55 for the tickets including an afterparty.

“Never let it be said that we at Star Shaped are anything other than hopeless romantics,” announced the festival yesterday. “This Valentines, we give you, Britpoppers, the sixth band for Star Shaped Festival: the return after nigh on 20 years, completely exclusive (for these dates only!) shows, from… SLEEPER! It was only ever going to be at Star Shaped: The Home of Britpop.”
They added: “We love you, Star Shapers! Thanks for continuing to make the club night and events what they are.”

A STRAIGHT-SHOOTING cocaine user wasted nobody's time when he was busted for his illicit stash.
"This is what you're here for,” Anthony James Coughlan told police who turned up at his Birtinya property in November.
Toowoomba-born Coughlan had 25.56g of a substance and slightly more than half of it was pure cocaine.
Brisbane Supreme Court heard Coughlan could've faced jail time if found to be dealing.
But the court accepted the 26-year-old had the drugs only for himself and possibly to share with friends.
Coughlan previously said the drugs would have been worth $3500 to $4000.
Chief Justice Catherine Holmes told Coughlan if he was found with drugs again, the suspicion of commercial dealing "will be almost inevitable”.
But she added that he wrote an apology letter to the court and his work supervisor supplied a supportive, positive reference.
Coughlan's relative youth, no prior criminal history, and rehab sessions he'd been taking also earned him credit.
His family were supportive and he made an early guilty plea to one drug possession charge.
The Chief Justice said Coughlan's rehabilitation was best served if he was not jailed.
He got an 18-month jail sentence, suspended immediately, operational for three years. -NewsRegional

Question: Kenyans Kirui, Kiplagat win 121st Boston Marathon

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

JIMMY GOLEN, AP Sports Writer
BOSTON (AP) — Kenya’s Geoffrey Kirui won the 121st Boston Marathon on Monday, pulling away from American Galen Rupp with about two miles to go to win in an unofficial time of 2 hours, 9 minutes, 37 seconds.
Rupp, a three-time Olympian making his Boston debut, was 21 seconds behind and Japan’s Suguru Osako was another 30 seconds back. Americans had six of the top 10 finishers in the men’s race and two of the top four women.
Kenyan policewoman Edna Kiplagat won the women’s race in 2:21:52, needing only one try in Boston to add it to wins in London, New York and Los Angeles. She pulled ahead of Rose Chelimo of Bahrain in the Newton hills to win by 59 seconds.
“When I was running, my body was feeling good,” said Kiplagat, who was greeted at the finish line by two of her children. “I tried to push more, hard and I saw my (rivals) were not picking up the pace.”
American Jordan Hasay, making her debut at the distance, was third and Desi Linden was fourth — the first time since 1991 that two U.S. women have finished in the top four.
The warm temperatures that hit 79 degrees at the 20-kilometer mark in slowed the runners but the strong tailwind was a boost — especially for the wheelchair races.
Marcel Hug won Boston for the third time, outpushing 10-time champion Ernst Van Dyk and finishing in 1:18:04 to beat the course record and world best by 21 seconds. Fellow Swiss Manuela Schar shattered the women’s mark by more than five minutes, winning in 1:28:17.
The winners’ times on the point-to-point Boston course are considered a world best and not a world record because of the possibility of a supportive tailwind like the one on Monday.
“The wind is so important,” Hug said. “The roads were good. Everything was fantastic today.”
Earlier Monday, city officials announced plans for memorials to mark the sites where two bombs exploded during the 2013 Boston Marathon.
City officials and the families of five people who died in the bombing or its aftermath say there’s also a plan to build a separate, larger memorial to victims, survivors and responders.
Pablo Eduardo is a Massachusetts resident and internationally known sculptor. He’ll create the memorial markers on Boylston Street where bombs killed three spectators and wounded more than 260 others.
Eduardo said Monday his goal is to “embody the spirit of those we lost and the spirit of the city they loved.”

Kenya’s Alex Korio, the defending TCS World 10K champion, will return to Bengaluru to take on his compatriot and IAAF World Half Marathon Championships Valencia 2018 winner Geoffrey Kamworor at this year’s race on Sunday 27 May.
Korio, who also won this race in 2013, had a outstanding 2017. In addition to winning in impressive fashion in Bengaluru, where he beat a world-class field by 14 seconds last May, he reduced his half marathon best to 58:51 in Copenhagen later in the year.
However, the 27-year-old Korir will come to the Indian race with a point to prove after having to drop out in the world championship event in Valencia back in March.
In addition to Korio and the 2012 and 2014 TCS World 10K champion Kamworor (whose presence was announced on 8 May), another two-time winner in Bengaluru to return to this year’s race is Ethiopia’s Mosinet Geremew, who took the title in 2015 and 2016.
Geremew was among the favourites for last year’s race after his two previous wins but faded to 10th.
However, his two outings so far this year have resulted in stunning victories, with him winning both the Yangzhou Half Marathon in China and the Dubai Marathon, the latter in a world-leading 2:04:00 which makes him the 12th fastest man ever over the classic distance.
Fellow Ethiopian Leul Gebresilase was just two seconds behind Geremew in Dubai to take the runners up spot there and will also be on the start line in Bengaluru while the fastest man in the field is another Ethiopian Birhanu Legese, who has had success on Indian soil in the past and twice won the Airtel Delhi Half Marathon.
Leading the Asian challenge will be Bahrain’s Abraham Cheroben, who finished second behind Kamworor in Valencia. The Asian half marathon record holder is anticipated to also be in contention for a place on the podium in Bengaluru.
A man who knows what it is like to climb the dais at the TCS World 10K is Kenya’s Edwin Kiptoo, second in 2017 and third in 2015, and he is aiming again to feature in the top three in Bengaluru.
The rest of women’s elite field for the TCS World 10K Bengaluru 2018 that will do battle with Ethiopia’s Netsanet Gudeta, the IAAF World Half Marathon Valencia 2018 winner, will be announced early next week.
The TCS World 10K Bengaluru 2018, an IAAF Gold Label Road Race, has a total prize fund of US$213,000.
It risen in prominence every year since it was inaugurated in 2008 and is now one of Asia’s leading races over the distance.
Men’s elite field (with 10km personal best times)
Alex Korio (KEN) – 27:52
Geoffrey Kamworor (KEN) – 27:44
Birhanu Legese (ETH) – 27:34
Abraham Cheroben (BRN) – 27:35
Mosinet Geremew (ETH) – 27:36
Leul Gebrselassie (ETH) – 28:12
Edwin Kiptoo (KEN) – 28:20
Brett Robinson (AUS) – 28:29
Bashir Abdi (BEL) – 28:31
Ryan Vail (USA) – 29:06
Moses Kurong (UGA) – debut
Approximately 27,000 runners will take to the roads for five different races in what has become one of Bengaluru’s most high-profile sporting events.
In addition to the TCS World 10K for elite runners, there is an Open 10K, the Majja Run (6km) the Senior Citizens’ Race and Champions with Disability Race (both 4km).

अहमदाबाद। पहले चरण के मतदान के बाद गुजरात में चुनावी प्रचार तेज हो गया है। सोमवार को पीएम मोदी ने पाटन की चुनावी रैली के दौरान कांग्रेस पर हमला बोला।
पीएम मोदी ने रैली के दौरान कहा कि पहले चरण में कांग्रेस की हार तय है, इसलिए वे इवीएम का बहाना लेकर आरोप लगा रहे हैं। इसके अलावा उन्होंने गुजरात के गांवों में जाकर लोगों के बीच बच्चों की शिक्षा के प्रति जागरुकता जगाने की बात कही। साथ ही कांग्रेस की कमियों की ओर भी इशारा किया।
पीएम ने कहा, जब हम किसानों के पास गए, कृषि महोत्‍सव किया, हम अमीरों की मदद के लिए नहीं गए थे। हम गरीबों के बीच गए। दुखद है कि कांग्रेस नेताओं का जन्‍म सोने के चम्‍मच के साथ हुआ है, इसलिए वे कभी नहीं समझ पाएंगे कि गरीबी क्‍या है।

Question: Nicaragua business lobby urges Ortega to hold early elections

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

MANAGUA (Reuters) - Nicaragua's main business lobby on Wednesday urged President Daniel Ortega to hold early elections to steer the country out of weeks of deadly protests that have seriously undermined the former Marxist guerrilla leader's long hold on power.
In a letter to Ortega published on Twitter, business association COSEP urged the 72-year-old president to bring forward the next vote at a date to be agreed between the government and representatives of civic society.
"Given the magnitude of this crisis, we urge you to undertake every effort in your power to find a peaceful solution before we find ourselves immersed in an even more tragic situation," the letter said.
The next presidential election is scheduled for 2021.
Proposed changes to Nicaragua's social security system last month triggered student-led protests, and indignation at a violent crackdown in which dozens of people have been killed and over 800 injured has become a daily challenge to Ortega's rule.
Ortega told supporters that Nicaragua "is not private property" in response to the COSEP demand, according to local newspaper La Prensa.
A Cold War antagonist of the United States who served a single term as president during the 1980s, Ortega returned to power in 2007. He was re-elected by a landslide for a third consecutive term in 2016 with his wife as vice president.
The Organization of American States last week called for early elections, but Ortega has not acceded.

This story has not been edited by Firstpost staff and is generated by auto-feed.

Amnesty International issued a report Tuesday detailing the Nicaraguan government’s deadly response to recent protests that almost 90 people, many of them students, protesting in anti-government demonstrations since April.
In “Shoot to Kill: Nicaragua’s Strategy to Repress Protest,” the human rights group documents the use of police force, alleged extrajudicial killings by armed, pro-government groups, and the repression and condemnation of news media since April 18, when violence against protesters began.
The report accuses Nicaraguan authorities of using paramilitary groups dubbed “Sandinista mobs” to quash anti-government protesters. “These pro-government armed groups were apparently used by the government to generate disorder, make threats and carry out attacks, including some that may have proved fatal.”
“The Nicaraguan authorities have turned on their own people in a vicious, sustained and frequently lethal assault on their rights to life, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly. The government of President Ortega has then shamelessly tried to cover up these atrocities, violating the victims’ rights to truth, justice and reparation”
Erika Guevara Rosas, Americas Director at Amnesty International
AI noted that attacks were often committed by “private individuals in the presence of or in coordination with the security forces.” The human rights organization said authorities failed to pursue perpetrators “after the crimes were committed.”
“The Nicaraguan authorities have turned on their own people in a vicious, sustained and frequently lethal assault on their rights to life, freedom of expression and peaceful assembly,” said Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director at Amnesty International. “The government of President Ortega has then shamelessly tried to cover up these atrocities, violating the victims’ rights to truth, justice, and reparation.”
At least 87 people have been killed and hundreds more wounded since protests erupted.
But the unrest has now gone beyond frustration over the government forced through pension and social security reforms (and then repealed them days later), with protesters calling for President Daniel Ortega and his wife and vice-president, Rosario Murillo, to step down.
Protesters also want Constitutional changes, mainly with respect to election rules made by Ortega to allow him a third consecutive term and many more after that.
Amnesty International’s report documents a system of repression that went further than attacking protesters by denying medical care in public hospitals, obstructing investigations of deaths and vilifying protesters in media by blaming them for the violence.
One protester who was denied medical care was 15-year-old Álvaro Conrado, who was shot in the neck while handing out water in Managua on April 20. The teen’s relatives told Amnesty International that he was denied medical attention at the government-run Cruz Azul Hospital before he was taken to a private hospital and died of his injuries. Conrado’s parents said he was buried without a forensic examination, that police prevented them from filing a complaint with a human rights center and unknown people destroyed his uncle’s food stall.
The human rights group recommended the Nicaraguan government guarantee free expression and stop using excessive police force against protesters. It also recommends the public prosecutor’s office and other law enforcement agencies initiate impartial and thorough investigations into the deaths and carry out due process.
On May 21, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights (IACHR) called on the Ortega government to an immediate end to repression in Nicaragua and to allow investigations into the protest violence.
Ortega, a former Sandinista guerrilla fighter, has been president for the last 11 years, although he also ruled the country from 1979 to 1990, following his participation in the overthrowing of the Somoza dictatorship.
Ortega’s strategy to keep his autocratic hold on power in the country includes his style and brand of rhetoric while cosing up to the powerful private industry and trade with the United States.
Demonstrators have voiced frustrations over corruption by Ortega and Murillo, limited options to change the country’s politics in elections, and the president’s control over Congress, the courts, the military and the electoral authority.
The National Dialogue mediated by the Catholic Church aimed at calming the violence have stalled. On Sunday, the Episcopal Conference called for all sides to revive the dialogue.
Protests took another deadly turn on Monday, when pro-government groups and anti-government protesters clashed, leaving one person dead and three other people injured.
Electoral solution. Many see the only way for Ortega and Nicaragua is fresh elections. The division is strong that anyone who thinks a soltuion other than an electoral one is seriously wrong.
But the government has so far refused this option.

Question: Morgue Building Handed Over To St. Jude Hospital

Share this
THE newly-constructed St. Jude Hospital morgue has moved one step closer to becoming operational after the building was officially handed over to the Board of Directors of the hospital by the Ministry of Health on Wednesday.
Minister for Health and Wellness, Mary Isaac, along with Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Health & Wellness, Felix St. Hill, joined the hospital’s Board of Directors and management team for the handover and a walkthrough of the facility.
Following the walkthrough, the group met at the George Odlum Stadium to discuss the way forward for the morgue. St Hill stated that the plan is to have the facility operational in short order.
“We would like to put it into operation almost immediately. So that is what we’re going to be doing with the morgue. Rather than wait till the completion of the entire hospital, we’re going to put the operations of the morgue into use almost immediately,” St Hill said.
The morgue, along with the ambulance and security monitoring buildings, was constructed by the United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) with financing from the government of Mexico. The keys and operational manuals for the morgue were handed over to the Government of St. Lucia by UNOPS in July after the building was retrofitted.
St. Jude Hospital Chairman, Dr. Ulric Mondesir, said it would have been a more joyous occasion had the entire hospital been handed over to the Board of Directors and people of Vieux Fort.
“I’m in relentless pursuit to see that this hospital, St. Jude Hospital, be opened. If it is opened between December and January, it will be a gift for Christmas to the sick man. It will be a New Year’s gift for the sick man. We need this hospital opened sooner than we think,” Dr. Mondesir said.
The morgue building is located at the original site of St. Jude Hospital. The facility is fully-equipped and also contains water and electricity.

WILDWOOD, N.J. (AP)  Police in a New Jersey beach town have released body camera footage showing the violent arrest of a Philadelphia woman accused of underage drinking over the Memorial Day weekend.
A bystander posted video online showing a Wildwood police officer punching Emily Weinman in the head during the Saturday arrest. The 20-year-old woman faces several charges, including aggravated assault on a police officer.
The body camera footage released on Wednesday shows an officer as he confronts and argues with Weinman over the discovery of alcoholic iced tea drinks in her possession. Wildwood officials say the videos show Weinman assaulting the officers first.
Police have identified the officers involved as Thomas Cannon, John Hillman and Robert Jordan.

By AMANDA LEE MYERS | The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — Lawyers for the family of an unarmed black man killed by police in a busy Southern California parking lot said Monday that an autopsy found he was shot 10 times and died from choking on his own blood as police delayed getting him medical help.
The autopsy concluded that 26-year-old Diante Yarber died of asphyxiation and that had he been given medical treatment, he would have had a chance at surviving his wounds, attorney S. Lee Merritt said at a news conference.
The autopsy was conducted by a private medical examiner at Merritt’s request. An autopsy by San Bernardino County authorities has not been released and it’s unclear whether it’s been finished.
Start your day with the news you need from the Bay Area and beyond. Sign up for our ew Morning Report weekday newsletter.
Merritt, who is planning on filing a civil rights lawsuit in the case this week, said the private autopsy found that Yarber had wounds to his chest, back and arms and that he wasn’t given medical treatment for “a great deal of time.”
“The injuries are consistent with defensive wounds … as he was shielding himself and trying to escape the onslaught of bullets,” Merritt said.
Merritt did not respond to a message seeking a copy of the autopsy report.
Barstow police officers fatally shot Yarber on April 5 in a Walmart parking lot in the Mojave Desert city, about halfway between Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
Police Chief Albert Ramirez Jr. released a statement Monday night that said Yarber was wanted for car theft after he jumped out of a stolen car last month and ran away.
On April 5, officers answering a report of a suspicious vehicle in the Walmart parking lot learned that the car was registered to Yarber, Ramirez said.
After an officer stopped the Mustang, the driver opened the door and the officer recognized Yarber, who then backed up the Mustang, hitting a patrol car, moved forward and backed again, almost hitting an officer and then striking an occupied police cruiser, Ramirez said.
Four officers then opened fire because they “feared for their safety and the safety of others,” the chief’s statement said.
All four had working body cameras and the footage was turned over to the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department but won’t be made public until that investigation is complete, Ramirez said.
The officers’ names were not released.
Merritt disputes the account of the shooting by police, saying Yarber’s car was barely moving.
Grainy cellphone footage of the shooting shows officers fired their weapons at least a couple dozen times but doesn’t capture the full incident.
There were three others in the car with Yarber, a father of three, when police tried to stop him. His girlfriend was shot in the leg and abdomen in the backseat, while Yarber’s brother jumped out of the car and his cousin wasn’t hit.

Family of Hayward teen killed by Fremont police dispute version of what happened “These officers are opening fire into a car with other passengers and in a Walmart parking lot in broad daylight with people walking all over the place that could have also been struck,” said Dale Galipo, an attorney representing Yarber’s girlfriend and cousin. “It’s obviously a totally excessive shooting.”
Yarber’s brother also told attorneys that he heard one officer shout a racial slur before the shooting.
Sharon Brunner, who represents Yarber’s girlfriend, said she and the other lawyers involved have been unable to find another witness to corroborate that claim.

Question: Hunter, Guy lead No. 2 Virginia over Syracuse, 59-44

SYRACUSE, N.Y. — De'Andre Hunter scored 15 points, Kyle Guy added 14 and second-ranked Virginia smothered struggling Syracuse 59-44 on Saturday.
Virginia (22-1, 11-0 Atlantic Coast Conference), which beat the Orange 68-61 in January, has won 14 straight and is off to its best start in conference play since the days of Ralph Sampson, who led the 1980-81 team to a 12-0 start.
Syracuse (15-8, 4-6), in desperate need of a signature victory, was coming off a four-point loss at Wake Forest in which it shot 30 per cent (15 of 50), and the offensive futility continued against the nation's best scoring defence.
The Orange shot under 40 per cent in the January loss to the Cavaliers and fared worse the second time around. Syracuse finished 17 of 50 (34 per cent) and its 44 points were its fewest ever in the Carrier Dome.
The Orange needed big games from its top three scorers — Tyus Battle, Frank Howard, and Oshae Brissett — and they didn't deliver. Battle finished with 15 points on 6-of-17 shooting, Howard was 4 of 17 for 11 points and Brissett had nine points. Syracuse was 4 of 20 from beyond the arc.
Syracuse entered the game ranked fourth in the nation in field-goal percentage defence (37.7 per cent), just behind Virginia, but the Cavaliers exhibited their usual patience on offence and hit 12 of 24 shots in the first half to take a 10-point lead at the break. None came from second-leading scorer Devon Hall, who missed the only shot he attempted.
As expected, the game was a methodical, slow-paced slog with each team repeatedly shooting at the end of the shot clock, especially the Orange. The Cavaliers, who never trailed, found room inside the Orange's 2-3 zone and hit three jumpers from the foul line in the opening 15 minutes.
Virginia built its biggest lead of the period with help from the long ball during an 11-0 run late. Ty Jerome hit a 3 from the top of the key with 6:32 left for a 23-18 lead and Hunter hit another from the left corner just over two minutes later.
Jerome's second 3 of the period completed the surge and was a beauty of teamwork. Instead of going up for a putback after a strong rebound under the basket, Isaiah Wilkins zipped a pass to the right corner to a wide-open Jerome, and he swished it.
Syracuse managed just one basket in the final seven minutes, a 3 by Battle with just under a minute left as the Orange were held to 8-of-23 shooting (34.8 per cent), 3 of 11 from beyond the arc (27.3).

Question: Shimla received heaviest rainfall since 1951

Heavy rains continued to lash most parts of Himachal Pradesh, with Shimla recording the highest rainfall in a day in the last 68 years, the met department said.
"As per the rainfall recorded today, Shimla witnessed 118.6 mm rains during the last 24 hours. This is the highest rainfall in the city in a day in the last 68 years as per the data available with our department since 1951," Met department director Manmohan Singh told PTI.
"The previous highest rainfall in Shimla was at 108.4 mm, recorded on April, 15, 2005," he said.
Met office said that formation of tall cumulonimbus clouds and moisture incursion from both the Arabian sea and Bay of Bengal led to heavy rains in Shimla. "When monsoon shifts from south to north, close to foothills, such heavy rain occurs," he said.
Heavy rainfall occurred at isolated places in Bilaspur, Solan, Sirmaur and Una districts of Himachal Pradesh. Rainfall is likely to occur at isolated parts of the state tomorrow.

Question: Minneapolis team keeps immigrants informed during Super Bowl

MINNEAPOLIS — Military Humvees, officers in combat gear and the occasional F-16 flying over downtown Minneapolis are all part of the beefed up security measures that come with hosting the Super Bowl. But those images can be scary for some immigrants and refugees who are worried about terrorism, deportation or even a war they can’t forget.
A special team with the city of Minneapolis has been working for weeks to reassure immigrant communities that all the extra muscle is here to keep them safe. The team is reaching out through radio and television broadcasts, social media and in-person meetings with elders and community members. The goal is to keep communities informed about everything from security to transportation issues, and let them know they can also participate in the fun.
“It’s a welcoming place … for people to come downtown and enjoy,” said Michael Yang, a southeast Asian community specialist with the city. “You shouldn’t have to fear anything.”
Minnesota has been a welcoming state for immigrants over the last several decades, thanks in part to its social service programs. The state is home to the largest Somali community in the U.S., roughly 57,000 people according to the latest census figures, most of whom live in the Minneapolis area. The state also has the second-highest Hmong population, behind California.
The team of community specialists in Minneapolis does outreach in immigrant communities all year, but is working with more partners and intensifying efforts in the lead-up to the Super Bowl. Officials believe they have created a model for future Super Bowls or other large events. Among other things, the team is broadcasting weekly radio programs in Spanish, Somali and Hmong and is contracting with others to share social media messages in Spanish, Hmong, Somali, Vietnamese, Oromo and Lao.
The messages are being tailored to each community because while one community might believe armed guards are preventing a terror attack, another might see those same officers as an immigration raid.
“Every community has their own take on the event and their own fears and concerns and we address them by giving them the right information, telling them what’s going on,” said Rose Lindsay with the community relations unit in the Joint Information Center set up for the Super Bowl.
Yang said that even though Hmong immigrants have been in Minnesota for decades, images of the war they left behind are still fresh. Some people he’s met tell him that the armed officers remind them of the military taking over the streets of Laos. Others expressed concern about helicopters or other aircraft flying overhead, saying it reminds them of enemy aircraft.
“With some members of the Hmong community, people are really fearful that there is war,” he said.
The Hmong have also expressed fear of a terrorist attack or hate crimes, and weeks ago elders were asking families to stay away from the Super Bowl activities. Yang said his work has helped ease fears. Other team members agree.
Abdirashid Ahmed, an East African community specialist, is working to explain the Super Bowl to community leaders, faith leaders and other community members. In addition to face-to-face meetings, he’s also monitoring social media to see what the community is talking about.
After a car caught fire in a Somali neighbourhood this week, many community members went to social media and asked if there was a terror attack. Ahmed said because of the infrastructure that’s been set up, officials were able to respond within minutes to let the community know it was a mechanical fire and they had nothing to worry about.
When asked if there is fear of racial profiling in a community where some members have been the subject of terror investigations, Ahmed said there is always that concern because of the current climate. But as far as it relates to the Super Bowl, “people are not asking the same kinds of questions they were asking me a month or two months ago.”
“We have been explaining everything,” Ahmed said. “The law enforcement agencies coming to Minneapolis … they will be here to protect everyone, not to harm.”

Question: Lady Gaga shares first photo from 'A Star is Born'

Lady Gaga shared the first image on Monday from her film remake of A Star is Born, also starring and directed by Bradley Cooper.
The classic Hollywood tale of two stars colliding, one whose career is on the upswing and the other’s waning, has been made three times previously, most recently in 1976 starring Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson.
Lady Gaga, who will be billed under her real name, Stefani Germanotta, wrote beside the image of herself and Bradley on Instagram: “I am so excited to star in my first movie alongside someone I’m so lucky to call my friend. I always wanted to be an actress on the big screen.”
She added, “The story of ‘A Star is Born’ is so special and I’m so grateful to Bradley for making my dream come true.” She signed off by saying: “Can’t wait for you to meet Ally. She has her first scene in 5...”
The film marks Cooper’s directorial debut and, in addition, he is co-producing the project and co-writing it. He will also play country music legend Jackson Maine who is struggling to keep his career on track. Lady Gaga is hopeful singer Ally who Jackson not only takes under his wing but also becomes romantically involved with.
Fans in Indio, California for last weekend’s Coachella music festival kickoff - at which Lady Gaga was one of the headliners - received an added bonus when they were offered $10 tickets to feature as extras in scenes being filmed at the site for the new film. All proceeds from the sales will go to Lady Gaga’s Born This Way Foundation.
A Star is Born is due for release next September.

Lady Gaga has had an amazing year, from performing at the Super Bowl to headlining the Coachella Music Festival and she’s not done yet.
The pop superstar debut her latest single “The Cure” while at Coachella Saturday. Listen to it here!

Question: How to keep warm and keep well as winter takes a hold

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

With the arrival of very cold weather over the past weekend and the likelihood of more to come over the winter, NHS Choices has advice on keeping warm and keeping well.
The information below is part of the NHS Choices Live Well section.

It’s been a scorcher already this year in the UK, with the mercury going into the thirties a number of times.
Although it’s not totally rare for it to be warm during the summer, it’s pretty rare for it to last this long.
We haven’t seen a repeat of 1976 – where temperatures hit 32c or above for 15 days straight – but it is expected to continue.
And it’s got us wondering, what did we do to deserve such a thing?
(Picture: Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
Normal hot weather is caused by warm air blowing in from somewhere else (usually Europe for us).
However, heatwaves are caused by high pressure that keeps it there – currently in the form of a jet stream to the North.
This results in persistent dry and warm weather.
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video
Current forecasts show that our jet stream may be letting up a little, resulting in thunder and rain in some parts.

We are being advised not to pack up our shorts just yet, though, as the warm climes could last until the end of the month.
Last month was one of the hottest for 400 years, and some parts of the UK have been subject to a hosepipe ban due to lack of rainfall.
Whether you love sitting out in the rays or are sick of trying to get to sleep in a sauna, you should get used to it for a little bit longer.
