Question: Excerpt: Naben Ruthnum explores the taste of home in Curry: Eating, Reading and Race

Let me tell you about a personal curry of note – Homecoming Shrimp Curry, which has become the staple meal I associate with Christmas in the Ruthnum household. It’s shouldered aside kleftiko and a Persian fish dish with a walnut stuffing as the go-to son-pleaser for my annual returns home, and my parents like it just as much as I do.
It’s a deep greenish-brown, a shade you don’t often see in Indian restaurants outside of perhaps a saag: While Westerners may like brown food, they don’t like it to actually be brown.
The sauce has a density earned by its ingredients and process: Mom makes the masala with large, onion chunks that would be the star of the dish if the sauce didn’t take a midmorning whirl through the food processor before being returned to the pan.
The huge shrimp, decanted frozen into a colander from a frozen bag, look like chilled practical effects from a 1980s alien-invasion movie before the sauce catches up to them and they’re subsumed into the curry, white and pink peaks in the murky simmer.
Time and varying heat are key to this dish’s success, a daylong process of heating, settling, cooling and boiling whose alchemy seems beyond science.
That’s often part of curry narratives: the ineffable, inexplicable Eastern magic performed on electric Western stoves. Top British chef Heston Blumenthal, on his television show In Search of Perfection, where he sought to make perfected versions of classic dishes such as hamburger and steak by seeking out their ur-versions and distilling historically successful processes into a measured, modern method, had scientists do a study on the use of yogurt in the marinade for chicken cooked in a tandoor for his tikka masala episode.
While it was proven that yogurt vastly aided the marinade’s absorption, they couldn’t figure out why. It just did.
While this made for an irresistible TV moment, and I don’t doubt Mr. Blumenthal’s standards or the BBC’s scientist-hiring resources, it strikes me as odd that what seems like a simple matter of chemistry and biology should be insoluble.
There’s no magic or formula involved in the time and heat factors of Homecoming Shrimp Curry, but there is particularity. As in many immigrant households, one of my parents prepared food in the morning and reheated it throughout the day, the knobs on the stove and eventually the button on the microwave enduring twists and pokes as mealtimes came around.
In the case of this curry, the multiple simmerings are what elevate it to Christmas dinner and my first off-the-plane meal. The basics are simple, and as I can’t think of a good reason not to include the recipe, I’ll give it to you.
Here’s a direct paste of the e-mail that Mom sent me so I could botch the making of the dish.
Kay’s Madras Prawn Curry
Large prawns, cleaned and ready
2 large onions, peeled and puréed in the food processor
Coriander leaves, washed and chopped up
Tamarind, soaked in warm water
Turmeric methi, seeds or fresh
Curry leaves, if available
Garlic and ginger, about a heaped teaspoonful each
Fish curry powder (I buy the fish curry powder from Superstore). You can use the regular or your own mix as well. About 3 tablespoons or more – it all depends on the size of the onions
Water or coconut water
2 tomatoes, chopped up
Salt and chilies
In a large pan, heat some olive oil, sauté the prawns with a sprinkling of turmeric.
Do not overcook the prawns.
Remove and put aside.
Throw away the liquid.
Heat up some more oil, add the puréed onion, stir till softened and lightly browned.
Make a pit in the middle, add the curry powder mix (tamarind, curry leaves, methi, ginger and garlic in some warm water).
Add a little bit of olive oil on top and let cook on low heat.
Allow the curry to cook thoroughly with the lid on, but check in often. Add a little water or coconut water to prevent sticking, then mix the onion with the curry. Now is the time to choose the thickness of your sauce; this should be a fairly thick one. Add the chopped-up tomatoes.
Let simmer for a few minutes.
Add the prawns.
Simmer some more.
Add your chopped-up coriander and serve with rice or rotis.
I called to inquire about the accuracy of this recipe, and it turns out my recall was wrong: Mom does food-process the onions before the cooking starts, not after. The puréeing-of the-completed-sauce thing comes, I realize, from a Gordon Ramsay chicken tikka masala recipe I used to make all the time when I lived in Montreal, with a roommate who had a Cuisinart.
Mom also leaves out the bit about time lapses and reheating throughout the day, but that’s hard to quantify on the page. I don’t follow the turmeric-fry step of the recipe – seems to me that the shrimp cook so fast, they should do it in the gravy where they belong. Then again, my dish somehow isn’t a patch to Mom’s: This is a trope, yes, but it remains true here – I know I can fix it if I master the timing.
There are some moments in this recipe that an Indian cuisine purist would find harrowing. For example, the “fish curry powder from Superstore.” At the popular food blog Food52, Bay Area food writer Annada Rathi rails against these concoctions: “That’s when I feel like screaming from the rooftops, ‘Curry is not Indian!’; ‘Curry powder is not Indian!’; and ‘You will not find curry powder in Indian kitchens!’”
She’s certainly been in more kitchens in India than the zero I’ve entered, so I’ll take her word, but I’ll tell you this: Every diasporic kitchen I’ve opened cupboards in contains curry powder, even if it is a home blend of dry spices tipped into an old Patak’s screw-on glass jar.
Rathi isn’t a hard-liner – she goes on to note that “in the course of this article, it has dawned on me that ‘curry’ is the most ambiguous and therefore the most flexible word, a broad term that conveys the idea of cooked, spiced, saucy or dry, vegetable, meat, or vegetable and meat dish in the most appropriate manner available.”
The spectacular imprecision of the term speaks to its ability to encompass centuries of food history, cooking, misinterpretation and reinvention: It’s truly the diasporic meal, even when it stays at home. Curry is only definably Indian because India is a country that has the world in it.
There is a truth to the tropes of cooking and homeland and curry, but it can’t possibly contain the entire truth: The overlaps in this conversation between writers like Jhumpa Lahiri, Scaachi Koul and me are vast, covering our relationships to our parents and a land we barely know compared to the countries where we wake up every day.
In the details, the distinct efforts to set personal experience apart – my insistence that Mom has no kitchen secrets and that cooking was never meant to be a key 31 to the exotic but a passage to adulthood, Koul’s universal reflections on whether there is a point when one ever stops needing one’s mom, Jhumpa Lahiri’s foray into cookbook learning – are there, but I wonder if they are present for readers who are drawn to and receive these pieces.
Are the brown, diasporic readers looking for commiseration?
And are the non-brown ones looking for an exotic, nostalgic tour of a foreigner’s unknowable kitchen? The short answer, I believe, is yep.

Question: Scaramucci: Trump 'needed to be much harsher' on white supremacists

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

Former White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci says President Trump should have come out harder against white supremacy after Saturday's violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.
"I think he needed to be much harsher as it related to the white supremacists and the nature of that," Scaramucci said during an interview Sunday on ABC's "This Week."
He said that if he was still working in the White House, he would not have recommended Trump make the statement he did.
During the interview, his first sitdown TV interview since he left the White House after 10 days on the job, Scaramucci also told ABC he believed chief strategist Steve Bannon was one of the White House's biggest problems.
"He has to move away from that sort of 'Bannon-bart' nonsense," Scaramucci said, apparently combining Bannon's name with Breitbart, the website that Bannon ran before joining Trump's campaign last year.
"The whole thing is nonsensical," Scaramucci said. "It's not serving the president's interests."
The White House did not immediately respond to CNNMoney's request for comment about Scaramucci's remarks.
Breitbart has close ties with the alt-right movement, an ideology that can be associated with white nationalism. Bannon has described Breitbart as "the platform for the alt-right."
Scaramucci's remarks came a day after a rally in Virginia turned violent, as clashes broke out between white nationalists and counterprotesters. One person died when a car plowed into a crowd.
Trump's response was criticized by politicians on both sides of the aisle for failing to name white supremacist or alt-right groups involved in the protests. Instead Trump condemned the "egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides, on many sides."
The White House on Sunday released a statement that said "of course" Trump condemns "white supremacists, KKK, neo-nazi and all extremist groups."

President Donald Trump returned to Washington on Monday for a half-day of meetings and a staged event attacking Chinese trade practices – but a promised press conference quietly disappeared from his agenda.
Trump told reporters Friday in New Jersey that he was 'going to have a pretty big press conference on Monday' in the nation's capital.
But that was before his attempt to condemn a white supremacist protest in Virginia turned into a public relations disaster on Saturday.
'We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence – on many sides, on many sides,' the president said Saturday.
That was thought to have been a reference to left-wing 'antifa' – anti-fascist – protesters' plans to start fistfights with neo-Nazis. But it was the white nationalists who turned most violent, with one Ohio native driving a car into a crowd and killing a 32-year-old dissenter.

Trump tweeted Monday morning about his policy agenda but didn't mention the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, which left one protester dead on Saturday
The White House issued an unsigned statement on Sunday claiming that Trump 'condemns all forms of violence, bigotry, and hatred. Of course that includes white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups.'
But the damage had already been done, with members of Trump's own party wasting no time in criticizing him for failing to call out racists specifically and with vigor.
'Mr. President - we must call evil by its name,' tweeted Colorado Sen. Cory Gardner. 'These were white supremacists and this was domestic terrorism.'
Trump created a firestorm over the weekend by saying that he condemned 'this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence – on many sides'
HBO host John Oliver said Trump 'cannot even be bothered to f****** condemn' Nazis
Florida Sen. Marco Rubio said on Twitter that it's '[v]ery important for the nation to hear @potus describe events in #Charlottesville for what they are, a terror attack by #whitesupremacists.'
Sen. Orrin Hatch of Utah vented: 'We should call evil by its name. My brother didn't give his life fighting Hitler for Nazi ideas to go unchallenged here at home.'
By Sunday night Trump's omission had become a literal punchline.
HBO funnyman John Oliver said on his 'Last Week Tonight' program that 'incredibly, in a country where previous presidents have actually had to defeat Nazis, we now have one who cannot even be bothered to f***ing condemn them.'
'What kind of f***ing idiot would not immediately distance himself from them? It simply doesn’t get easier than disavowing Nazis. It’s almost as much of a presidential gimme as pardoning a f***ing turkey!'
Nazi sympathizer James Fields, left, drove his car into a group of anti-fascist protesters, killing 32-year-old paralegal Heather Heyes
Trump's official Monday schedule appeared geared toward sidestepping the controversy entirely, and did not include his promised press conference.
In included a meeting with Attorney General Jeff Sessions and FBI Director Chris Wray about investigations related to the Charlottesville riots and the vehicular homicide.
But the White House offered no indication of what might fill an hours-long gap between that sitdown and a mid-afternoon announcement of new policies related to 'China's laws, policies, practices, and actions related to intellectual property, innovation, and technology.'
An administration official offered no explanation on Monday morning, saying: 'No changes. Not going there.'

Question: The Pentagon is building robotic wingmen to fly alongside fighter planes

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

A Pentagon effort to incubate businesses in Silicon Valley may be bearing some of its first fruit, as a San Diego company rolls out a set of new drones it says could accompany human-piloted fighters into combat.
On Tuesday, Kratos Defense & Security Solutions officially announced two new classes of drones designed to function as robotic wingmen for fighter pilots. Development of the UTAP-22 Mako has been funded by the Defense Department's Silicon Valley laboratory, dubbed DIUx. Separately, the company showed off a larger, 30-foot-long drone backed by the Air Force called the XQ-222 Valkyrie, with a range of more than 3,000 nautical miles. Kratos is promoting the pilotless planes at the Paris Airshow next week in preparation for a new round of testing.
Aviation experts say the supersonic speed and altitude capacities published by Kratos suggest the drones could fly in tandem with an F-16 or F-35 fighter. The company says it has already successfully flown the drones alongside manned aircraft and it will soon embark on an advanced round of testing above California's Mohave desert employing a more sophisticated array of sensing technology to determine just how autonomous the drones can be.
In those tests, a pilot in an accompanying airplane is preparing to monitor the drones from a small Android tablet. For most of the flight, the drone will attempt to maneuver without the help of a human, relying on artificial intelligence technology and sensors to mimic the nearby plane's movements.
That test scheduled for July is to be followed by a "demonstrated military exercise" sometime in the second half of this year, the company said.
"In order to exploit the maneuverability of one of these aircraft you need to have the sensing ability of when to exploit it," said Dave Deptula, a former Air Force General who now serves as dean of the Mitchell Institute for Aerospace Power Studies, an Arlington think tank.
The effort comes as the military explores what role robotics might play in the wars of the future; some argue that unmanned systems are more likely to accompany - but not replace - manned systems like the F-35 Joint Strike fighter. The Navy is exploring similar options in using autonomous submarines that can scout the ocean floor and seek out mines.
The use of robotic systems to augment manned aircraft could theoretically make air combat safer if, for example, autonomous aircraft can be sent ahead to absorb an enemy's attacks first. The aircraft are also less expensive to deploy than manned aircraft; the reusable drones cost between $2 million and $3 million.
The Mako represents a step forward from the unmanned Predator and Reaper drones now largely used for aerial surveillance and for targeted attacks in places like Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan.
"These systems can conduct fully autonomous missions," said Steven Fenley, president of the company's unmanned systems division.
Officials at DIUx did not respond to requests for comment on the new Kratos drones. Former Defense Secretary Ashton Carter helped launch the Silicon Valley outpost in 2015, tasking the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental with finding and funding innovative technologies outside greater Washington. The effort had its early stumbles: Carter re-shuffled its leadership team and members of Congress took steps to limited the agency's funding, saying it lacked direction.
Kratos' $12.6 million contract with DIUx to explore the autonomous use of high-speed drones is tiny compared to larger military hardware development contracts, which can reach into the billions of dollars. Still, observers see the successful testing of an autonomous drone as step forward for the agency.
"This is an example of where DIUx went out and find innovative ideas and are funding them, and it's an excellent way to reinforce companies that are not already fully established," said Deptula, the retired Air Force general.

"CBSN: On Assignment" airs Monday, August 14 at 10 p.m. ET/PT on CBS, and on our streaming network, CBSN.
As North Korea's Kim Jong Un continues his relentless quest for a nuclear weapon capable of reaching the United States, military officials in U.S. Pacific Command work daily to project force in the region and deter the young dictator. The threat his regime poses to the United States and its treaty ally, South Korea, grows more credible with each missile launch.
North Korea successfully launched two intercontinental ballistic missiles this summer. They each flew more than a thousand miles into space before landing in waters near Japan. Experts say either one could have hit the United States had it been launched on a flatter trajectory -- the most recent, potentially reaching as far as Chicago.
And in another alarming development, CBS News' David Martin reported last week that U.S. intelligence believes North Korea has developed the ability to build a nuclear warhead small enough to fit on top of a ballistic missile, including an ICBM capable of striking the United States.
It's a menace that President Trump has threatened to meet with "fire and fury like the world has never seen" -- an escalation of rhetoric in a war of words backed up by massive military force on both sides.
"North Korea remains the most urgent threat to regional stability," said Gen. Terrence J. O'Shaughnessy, Pacific Air Forces commander, in a statement following the July 28 missile test. "If called upon, we are ready to respond with rapid, lethal, and overwhelming force at a time and place of our choosing."
But what would this response look like? CBS News correspondent Vladimir Duthiers traveled to bases all around U.S. Pacific Command for "CBSN: On Assignment" to find out. He met with Air Force, Army and Navy personnel to learn how the U.S. would counter a nightmare scenario -- or better yet, deter it from coming to pass.
CBS News
The toll of such an assault would be staggering: perhaps a million people dead, a trillion dollars in property damage, the entire global military, political and economic order destabilizied. And that's before the unthinkable, nuclear retaliation, which could rapidly escalate out of control.
South Korea's capital, Seoul, with some 25 million residents and thousands of U.S. troops stationed nearby, lies just 35 miles from the border, well within range of North Korea's arsenal.
If Kim Jong Un's regime ever launched an attack on the United States or one of its allies in the region, Kunsan Air Base in South Korea -- a short 200 miles from the border -- would become one of the most strategically important installations in the conflict. Airmen who serve with the 8th Fighter Wing -- known as "The Wolfpack" -- train for their three-prong mission to defend the base, accept follow-on forces and take the fight north.
"During wartime operations, we transition to an airbase defense posture, which includes patrols on and off the base," said Senior Airman Brent Pico, who serves with the 8th Security Forces Squadron. These security forces, made up of about 300 airmen, train daily to prepare for scenarios in which an enemy might try to gain control of the base. Stopping such an advance to keep the base secure is critical, because Kunsan would become a staging area for U.S. forces and partners and allies with a stake in the fight against North Korea.
Duthiers rode along with the 8th Security forces in a simulated attack on the base. The security forces made their way to the highest point on Kunsan, a hill called Big Coyote, where troops demonstrated tactical use of combined-arms intended to beat back any advance against the installation. With a full view of the base at Big Coyote, security forces would be able to defend the runways so F-16 fighter jet pilots from The Wolfpack could safely take off to conduct bombing missions and engage North Koreans in air-to-air combat.
Duthiers sat in the backseat of an F-16 to see how the jet could be employed to take out enemy targets. Taking over the controls briefly to perform a barrel roll, he experienced firsthand how nimbly the aircraft moves. He also conducted a wingtip-to-wingtip interview with Col. David Shoemaker, the commander of Kunsan, to ask him about the capabilities of the F-16.
CBS News
Shoemaker said the men and women who serve under him all hope for peace on the Korean peninsula. "We prefer for this to be a deterrent," he said as his fighter jet roared through a simulated bombing run.
But, should their efforts at deterring the dictator to the north fall short, "May God have mercy on the Wolfpack's prey."
Duthiers' next stop was the island of Guam, a strategically located U.S. territory in the western Pacific that shot to the top of the headlines last week when North Korea threatened to attack it with "enveloping fire."
Air Force Col. Sam White, the commander of the 36 operations group at Andersen Air Force Base on Guam, explained the importance of the base. "It's uniquely positioned to project combat power in all places across the Pacific," he said.
A key piece of that defense is the B1 Lancer -- a strategic bomber distinguished by its combination of "speed, persistence and payload" that would be a primary weapon against North Korea in combat.
White said the B1 -- nicknamed "The Bone" -- delivers a greater payload of 2,000-pound bombs or guided weapons than any other bomber in the U.S. arsenal. The intimidating sight and sound of a B1 also makes it ideal to project power in a region like the Korean peninsula for the mission of deterrence. Two of these aircraft were dispatched to fly along the Korean border following each of the two recent missile tests by Kim Jong Un.
The strategic value of the B1 is especially tied to its range.
"We're in Guam, far away from anyone, but really we can hold almost any target worldwide at risk here from Andersen Air Force Base," White said.
The enormous range White describes is possible because of service members who specialize in mid-air refueling, such as Air National Guard Technical Sgt. Jonathan Myers. Myers is a boom operator -- meaning his job is to extend a boom pool during flight from a tanker aircraft to bombers and fighter jets.
"Those airplanes are only able to take off with so much gas and get a certain distance, so … it's critical for us to extend their range," Myers said.
Duthiers went airborne with the U.S. Air National Guard on a KC-135 and watched Myers performing the highly sophisticated mid-air refueling process. From the rear of this fuel tanker aircraft, Duthiers witnessed a refuel of a B1 Lancer flying at 21,000 feet in the air at more than 300 nautical miles per hour.
The "CBSN: On Assignment" team also filmed inside a classified air operations center where 52 percent of the world's skies are monitored in real time.
Finally, Duthiers spoke with a unified combatant commander, Admiral Harry Harris, at Pearl Harbor following the commissioning of a ship with missile defense capabilities.
"As North Korea's most recent ICBM test demonstrates, the USS John Finn couldn't come to the Pacific at a more pivotal moment in our nation's history," Harris said.

Regarding Kim Jong Un, Harris told Duthiers, "He's one of these leaders, dictators, that is not afraid to fail in public, so he continues to refine his technology."
That's a challenge U.S. military leaders appear more than ready to meet if needed. With tensions escalating between the U.S. and North Korea, this all-access look at U.S. military operations demonstrates the gravity of the threat coming from the Korean peninsula, and the power the U.S. has marshaled to counter it.

Question: Brewers ace Nelson not throwing until spring training

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

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Milwaukee Brewers manager Craig Counsell has reiterated that ace Jimmy Nelson will not resume throwing until spring training and won't be ready for opening day as he comes back from a shoulder injury.
Nelson was 12-6 with a 3.49 ERA last season. The right-hander was hurt Sept. 8 diving back to first after rounding the base after getting a single.
"I talked to him last week, he's doing great and he's very encouraged by how he's recovering," Counsell said Monday at the winter meetings. "Look, the loss of Jimmy Nelson, it hurts. I knew when it happened, I said this is going to hurt more in 2018 than it does the last five starts."

Question: Indian business tycoon Vijay Mallya arrested in the U.K.

represent this text to find a news title for it.

The law has finally caught up with Indian tycoon Vijay Mallya.
The flamboyant businessman was arrested on Tuesday in the U.K., months after being accused of fraud by Indian authorities.
London's Metropolitan Police confirmed that Mallya was arrested on an extradition warrant after surrendering himself at a police station.
He will appear before a judge later on Tuesday.
The 61-year-old beer baron -- who has been described as the Richard Branson of India -- has become a poster child for unpaid debts in his home country.
Mallya took over the chairmanship of his father's massive Kingfisher beer company back in 1983 and eventually bought stakes in his own F1 team and cricket franchise.
He also founded the defunct Kingfisher Airlines. When it failed, Mallya was on the hook for an estimated $1.3 billion in unpaid loans.
Creditors have struggled to reclaim the money, and last year they asked India's Supreme Court to ensure that Mallya remained in the country. But he had already departed India, leading to a media frenzy over the case.
At the time, Mallya denied that he left the country in order to avoid creditors, saying he is not an "absconder."
A spokesman for Mallya did not respond to requests for comment on Tuesday, but a message was sent from Mallya's official Twitter account.
"Usual Indian media hype," it said. "Extradition hearing in Court started today as expected."
Usual Indian media hype. Extradition hearing in Court started today as expected. — Vijay Mallya (@TheVijayMallya) April 18, 2017
India and the U.K. have had an extradition treaty since 1993, but only one fugitive criminal has been extradited from the U.K. in the past five years.

Mallya had served as chairman of United Spirits, the India business of British liquor giant Diageo (DEO).
Following accusations of impropriety, Diageo announced last year that Mallya would resign in return for $75 million over five years.

The Supreme Court has asked the Ministry of External Affairs to reply on the delay in the extradition proceedings of liquor baron Vijay Mallya, who is in London.
Th apex court asked Ministry of External Affairs to reply by December 15th on the delay in the extradition proceedings. Also, the court indicated that they might summon the MEA Secretary if their orders aren't adhered to.
"How can court's orders not be taken seriously," the Court observed. Centre's law officers were asked to explain reasons behind non-cooperation with the court in an extradition case of Vijay Mallya.
Mallya is wanted in India on charges of fraud and money laundering amounting to around Rs 9,000 crores. The tycoon has been in a self-imposed exile in the UK since he left India on March 2, 2016.
His erstwhile Kingfisher Airlines owes several Indian banks around Rs 9,000 crores. Mallya was arrested by Scotland Yard on an extradition warrant in April this year, has been out on bail on a bond worth 650,000 pounds.

If you're like me, you've been destroying your liver for years now. You love to drink! Beer, wine, cocktails, margs — if it contains alcohol, you're chugging it and loving it. Whether it's going out to the club and getting lit, or drinking alone and crying in your room (or maybe that's just a "me" thing), drinking is your passion. Some may argue you have a slight drinking problem (BYE haters), while others may just consider you the life of the party.

This year has been a smorgasbord of events, from the downright depressing to the side-splitting to the wildly absurd. And for better or worse, Twitter has been by our side through it all. Here are some of the funniest tweets that sum up 2017, because this year has been ridiculous.
Favstar keeps an ongoing database of the top tweets of all time, and some of them are absolutely genius. We'd be remiss if we didn't take a moment to pay homage to the tweet that broke Twitter history in August, posted by former President Barack Obama on Aug. 12, right after the Charlottesville attack. (None of Donald Trump's tweets made this year's most-popular list.)
On that note, let's get all the political tweets out of the way now.
King James Hath Spoken
After months of up-in-the-air deliberation over whether the Golden State Warriors would be visiting the White House to celebrate their basketball championships title, Stephen Curry announced in September why he wasn't down for going and meeting the president.
Trump, immediately after Curry's announcement, rescinded his invitation to the Warriors, saying, "Going to the White House is considered a great honor for a championship team.Stephen Curry is hesitating,therefore invitation is withdrawn!"
But LeBron James, of the Cleveland Caveliers, didn't let Trump off the hook.
U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain't going! So therefore ain't no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up! — (@kingjames) #
Junior Doesn't Look Too Happy
And because political drama never fails to be the inspiration for humor, a still taken from Donald Trump Jr.'s appearance on Fox's Hannity in July prompted this hilariously apt descriptor. (For the record: This was the interview in which Junior said, "In retrospect, I probably would have done things a little differently" when he met with the Kremlin-linked Russian attorney in June 2016 for dirt on Hillary Clinton.)
When a witch says your tongue has to float in the middle of your mouth without touching anything or you'll die. — (@rolldiggity) #
United Airlines Fight Club
Not political but still equally cringe-worthy were the PR disasters United Airlines got pummeled with this year. Remember all those fun/disturbing videos we saw this year that made you never want to fly ever again? Perhaps most notable was the poor passenger who was forcibly dragged off an overbooked flight back in April. This came after an incident wherein two girls were forced to change into dresses because they were wearing leggings to board a flight in March. This, of course, was aside from the flight that got evacuated after a scorpion was discovered on board the plane. (We presume the scorpion was also forcibly removed from the flight.) Who could let 2017 slip away without honoring those memories with a photoshopped diagram? Apparently not this guy.

Carter's Chicken Nuggets
And though this gem of a tweet had no actual basis in current events or pop culture, its fame was well deserved. Everyone can relate to the irrational desire for fried food that prompts one to tweet at Wendy's for a hookup. Attempting to reach the 18 million-retweet threshold at which he would get a year of free chicken nuggets, Carter Wilkerson has made it admirably far, with 3.6 million and counting.
HELP ME PLEASE. A MAN NEEDS HIS NUGGS — (@carterjwm) #
Interrupted House, 2017
This tweet by a parent was everyone's inspiration about how to make lemonade when life gives you lemons, or more precisely, when your child draws in marker on your walls. It also provided some much-needed humor in a trying time.
Your kids are going to do things they shouldn't. It helps if you married someone with a sense of humour. — (@drmassicotte) #

Question: Many people believe there is an upturn in the Norwegian economy

Optimism is spreading among Norwegian consumers. The situation looks brighter than before, with a better outlook for both an individuals’ own, personal wallet, and for the national economy.
Each quarter, Finans Norge (Finance Norway) measures Norwegian households’ expectations of both their, and the country’s economy.
Over the past year, the trend in the ‘anticipation barometer’ has been positive, and for the second consecutive quarter, the main indicator is showing a majority of Norwegians are optimistic.
In particular, confidence in the country’s economy is improving, it was shown by figures calculated from 1,000 telephone respondents of an interview with Kantar TNS.
Consumers answered five key questions, which created an indicator showing the difference between percentages of optimistic, and pessimistic, responses.
In assessing the country’s economy in the coming year, the predominance of pessimistic responses fell from 49.5% last year, to 5.1% this year.
The main indicator (that adds up scores for all five questions, covering the same period) went from minus 15.8%, to plus 5.2%. Thus, Norwegians gave a total of 5.2% more optimistic than pessimistic responses in the survey.
‘This is a strong indication that the respondents feel that the economic downturn has bottomed out’, said CEO, Idar Kreutzer, of Finance Norway.
He also saw a clear change of sentiments among those interviewed in parts of the country that have been hit hardest by the oil slump.
For seven consecutive quarters, there were more pessimists than optimists in Southern and Western Norway. Now, there are as many optimists as pessimists.
For the past six years, consumers surveyed had a stronger belief in their own, than the country’s economy. This quarter, the measurement showed there to be a predominance of 22% who believe in better times for themselves in the coming year.

But anecdotal evidence suggests official sanction is building, according to veteran observers of the Chinese market.

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।

What that does for the business is provide consistency, someone that has relationships with our guests. It’s going to be building a long-term culture.”\nMason’s marketing manager Marena Weisman confirmed to CNNMoney that the franchise would be hiring between 35 and 45 people at the new rate, for work in both the front and the back of the house, and that all current employees are encouraged to apply for the positions.\nAccording to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, fast food cooks in the Sacramento area make an average of $11.42 an hour, about a dollar higher than the national level.\nEven though California’s minimum wage is currently $11 an hour, and will rise steadily to $15 by 2022, Mason’s $5 jump is unusual.\n“All responsible employers are preparing for the impact of the increasing minimum wage, but they are usually doing it over time and planning for it,” says Carey Klosterman, director of research and compensation services at the California Employers Association.\nOne reason why: Even employees making just a little bit more than the minimum wage tend to expect raises too. So if employers raise wages too quickly, it can get expensive.\n“While increasing the wage to this level at a fast food restaurant is commendable, I don’t foresee that many businesses will likely be following in their footsteps,” Klosterman says.\nSuch big hikes in wages are also especially rare in franchised industries, where the headquarters often charges steep royalties and controls many aspects of the operation — including prices and promotions. That can make life difficult for franchisees in areas with higher fixed costs like wages.\n“If you’re in a territory where labor is much higher than the rest of the country, you could be underwater,” says Peter Lagarias, an attorney for franchisees based in San Rafael, California. “When these kinds of pressures all build up, you can understand that franchisees are hurting.”\nLagarias hasn’t seen the franchise agreement for Chick-fil-A, which is relatively new to California, so it’s not clear whether an owner-operator could pass along increased labor costs by charging higher prices. Chick-fil-A is unusual in that each owner is limited to one store apiece, which keeps them more involved in day-to-day operations.\nA spokeswoman from Chick-fil-A’s corporate office said only that local operators make their own hiring and wage decisions.\nHowever, Mason’s strategy could pay off in the long run.\nResearch has shown that raising wages can reduce turnover, which in the restaurant industry can be as high as 100% per year. Each time a worker leaves, it costs the restaurant owner money because they then have to fill the shift with someone else.\nMason is also correct to point out that many low-wage workers have to hold down multiple jobs at a time in order to survive, and that full-time work at a livable wage is something many would try hard to keep.\n“The reason people leave low wage jobs is that they’re trying to find something just a little bit better,” says Sylvia Allegretto, a labor economist at the University of California, Berkeley.\nAt $17 an hour, Mason’s “hospitality professional” positions could be practically immune from turnover.\n“You’re going to try very hard to get that job, and you’re going to be a very good, diligent productive worker,” Allegretto says. “Because if you lose that job, your next job will be back down close to the minimum wage.”\nThat may position Mason’s store to succeed in what’s rapidly become a job seekers’ market. Sacramento’s unemployment rate tracks the national average, which is currently 3.9%. That’s the lowest rate it’s been since 2000 and it’s expected to keep dropping through 2018.\nA $17 wage would also allow Mason to be picky with the people he hires, and according to a job description, those expectations are high.\nA successful applicant, it reads, “must love to smile & connect with people, make eye contact & speak enthusiastically” and “makes working hard and delivering high standards look easy and effortless, enabling others to be efficient and effortless as well.”']' and the negative '['Represent the article to find a fitting news title', "A large group of protesters made up of fast food, home care and child care workers and organizers take over the intersection of 98th Avenue and International Boulevard on Tuesday, Nov. 29.

Question: Kenyan boat sinks off coast; politician's family missing

NAIROBI, Kenya — Kenyan media say a boat carrying a local politician and his family capsized in the Indian Ocean and that many of the dozen occupants are missing.
Rescuers on Monday searched for the vessel, which sank off coastal Lamu County amid reports of high tides.
The Standard newspaper quotes county commissioner Joseph Kanyiri as saying one body was found.
Some Kenyan media outlets say Shekuwe Kahale, a politician affiliated with Kenyan opposition leader Raila Odinga, was on the boat but survived.
Odinga said last week’s presidential election, won by President Uhuru Kenyatta, was rigged. Kenyan election officials and international observers say the vote was free and fair.

Question: Charlottesville rally violence: How we got here

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

(CNN) Despite the outrage and uproar, everyone had to know the protests were coming to Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend -- and that they would get out of hand.
This is how we got here.
It began in February when the City Council voted to rechristen two parks named for Confederate generals and to remove a bronze statue of one of those generals, Robert E. Lee, from an eponymous downtown park.
This came on the heels of several Southern cities removing dozens of Confederate monuments from public property after a self-described white supremacist massacred nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2015.
The Charlottesville move met with resistance, as some residents sued, and a judge blocked the statue's removal for six months as the matter was litigated.
The City Council voted again in April, this time agreeing to sell the statue and let the buyer remove it, CNN affiliate WVIR reported
Violence began in May

Prominent white nationalist RIchard Spencer led a demonstration in mid-May that served as prelude to Saturday's violence. Angered by the city's decision, torch-wielding demonstrators marched on the city, drawing condemnation from its leaders who regarded the protest as intimidation.
They were met by counterprotesters carrying banners that read "Black Lives Matter" and "F**k White Supremacy."
Police made three arrests. One police officer was injured when a flying object struck him in the head.
Fast-forward to July, and about 50 Ku Klux Klan members, some in Klan robes, arrived in the city, where they were outnumbered 20-to-1 by counterprotesters
Shouts of "Racists go home" clashed with chants of "white power."
Police had to employ pepper spray and tear gas to disperse crowds. They arrested 22 people.

The most recent violence began Friday night, ahead of a planned Saturday rally that the Southern Poverty Law Center described as the "largest hate-gathering of its kind in decades."
Charlottesville had tried to move the demonstration, citing safety concerns, but a federal judge issued an injunction allowing the rally to take place at Emancipation Park, formerly Lee Park and the site of the contentious statue.
Jason Kessler, who organized the "Unite the Right" rally, said the rally was aimed at "standing up for our history."
"The statue itself is symbolic of a lot of larger issues," including preserving history against "revisionism," combating political correctness, advocating for white interests and free speech, Kessler said.
Scuffles erupted near a statue of President Thomas Jefferson on the nearby University of Virginia campus. Police declared the demonstration illegal and ran off the white nationalists and counterprotesters.

Protesters fired pepper spray at each other. Police scrambled to disperse the crowd ahead of the rally's noon kickoff and declared an "unlawful assembly" just before the rally was slated to begin.
Gov. Terry McAuliffe quickly declared an emergency.

By 1 p.m. police had cleared Emancipation Park, and by early afternoon, police in riot gear stood shoulder-to-shoulder behind their shields, at times advancing toward protesters.
Fights continued to break out, with people kicking and swinging at each other, while other protesters tried to de-escalate tensions without police intervention. One side chanted, "Blood and soil!," an old Nazi slogan, while counterprotesters cried, "Nazi scum off our streets!"

Police reported 15 injuries associated with the rally, but that toll jumped around 1:30 p.m. when a man drove a silver Dodge Charger into a crowd, killing Heather Heyer, a 32-year-old local paralegal whose father said she was always fighting for others.
Nineteen more people were injured. Video shows the Charger barreling down a narrow side street packed with protesters. It slams into a silver convertible, throwing one protester onto the convertible's roof.
The driver then backs down the street, its bumper dragging, and several protesters give chase.

The day got deadlier just before 5 p.m., when two Virginia State Police troopers died after their helicopter crashed while they were on patrol near the clashes. They were identified as Lt. H. Jay Cullen, 48, and Trooper-Pilot Berke M.M. Bates, 40.
While President Donald Trump issued his condolences to the families of Heyer and the troopers, he issued a controversial statement on the violence , admonishing "hatred, bigotry and violence, on many sides," rather than singling out the white nationalists who staged the rally.

A White House official, requesting anonymity, later said, it was obvious Trump condemned "white supremacists, KKK, neo-Nazi and all extremist groups." But as of midday Monday Trump hadn't come out and said it himself, despite Republicans and Democrats calling for a stronger statement.
The fallout from Trump's reticence led to Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier, an African-American, stepping down from the President's manufacturing council, issuing a statement, saying US leaders must reject "expressions of hatred."

Within minutes, Trump attacked him on Twitter , saying Frazier's resignation would give him more time to "LOWER RIPOFF DRUG PRICES!"
Still, he delivered no condemnation of white nationalism. That came Monday afternoon , when he called racism "evil" and said those who caused the violence, "including KKK, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, and other hate groups, are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."

Numerous sources in recent months have told CNN that they feel today's tumultuous political climate has given hate a broader platform, and it appears Charlottesville's violence has done little to deter controversial speakers from staging rallies around the country.
Boston has a "free-speech rally" featuring numerous far right-wing speakers scheduled August 19.
There are also rallies planned in the Bay Area later this month, with a another "free speech rally" scheduled for August 26 in San Francisco and a "No to Marxism" event planned in nearby Berkeley the next day.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (AP) — A Massachusetts police officer is facing disciplinary action for writing “Hahahaha love this” on Facebook in response to a story about a car striking and killing a counter-protester at a white supremacist rally in Virginia.
Springfield Officer Conrad Lariviere later apologized, saying in a Facebook conversation with Masslive.com that he’s a “good man who made a stupid comment.”
Springfield Police Commissioner John Barbieri said he received a complaint about the comment Sunday.
“I took immediate steps to initiate a prompt and thorough internal investigation,” Barbieri said via email. “If in fact this post did originate from an officer employed with the Springfield Police Department, this matter will be reviewed by the Community Police Hearings Board for further action.”
Democratic Mayor Domenic Sarno denounced the comments.
“There is no place for this in our society, let alone from a Springfield Police Officer,” Sarno said in a statement.
Lariviere had written on Facebook: “Hahahaha love this, maybe people shouldn’t block road ways.”
He was responding to a story about the death on Saturday of 32-year-old Heather Heyer, who was struck by a car that plowed into a crowd of people protesting the white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. Nineteen others were injured. James Alex Fields Jr., 20, of Ohio, was arrested shortly after and charged with second-degree murder.
Lariviere also questioned whether the driver of the car that struck the crowd was a “nazi scumbag.”
He responded to a critic who asked whether he had ever been struck by a car, saying he had been struck by someone “with warrants, but who cares right you ignorant brat live in a fantasy land with the rest of America while I deal with the real danger.”
Lariviere told Masslive.com he is not a racist.
“Never would I want someone to get murdered. I am not a racist and don’t believe in what any of those protesters are doing,” he said.
Lariviere was a member of the Springfield Police Academy’s 2014 graduating class. A message left by The Associated Press at a listed number for a Conrad Lariviere in Springfield was not immediately returned.

Question: Cosby jury to decide: Serial rapist or con artist’s mark

represent this text to find a news title for it

NORRISTOWN, Pa. (AP) — Accompanied for the first time by his wife of more than 50 years, Bill Cosby walked into a courthouse Tuesday morning ahead of closing arguments in his sexual assault retrial.
Camille Cosby had been absent from the courtroom as prosecutors called a series of women to the stand who testified her husband drugged and sexually assaulted them, but she was by his side Tuesday for the trial’s conclusion.
The jury that will start deliberating Cosby’s fate has heard the comedian described over the past two weeks both as a “serial rapist” and a con artist’s victim.
They have seen a half-dozen accusers testify that the man once revered as “America’s Dad” had a sordid secret life that involved preying on women for his own sexual gratification. And they have heard from a witness who says his chief accuser talked about framing a high-profile person to score a big payday.
Now, seven men and five women who have been kept in a suburban Philadelphia hotel, away from family, friends and daily routines, will get to have their say in the first big celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.
“You now have all of the evidence,” Judge Steven O’Neill told them after Cosby’s lawyers rested on Monday without calling the 80-year-old comedian to the stand. “Try to relax, so that you’re on your game tomorrow.”
Jurors could be in for a marathon.
Before going off to deliberate, they will hear both sides rehash the case in lengthy closing arguments, and they will get O’Neill’s instructions in the law.
Cosby is charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault — all stemming from Andrea Constand’s allegations that he knocked her out with three pills he called “your friends” and molested her at his suburban Philadelphia mansion in January 2004.
Each count carries a sentence of up to 10 years in prison.
Cosby has said he gave Constand 1½ tablets of the over-the-counter cold and allergy medicine Benadryl to help her relax before what he called a consensual sexual encounter.
The jury in Cosby’s first trial weighed the evidence for more than 52 hours over six days without reaching a verdict.
This time, both sides have given the retrial jury much more to consider.
Prosecutors were able to call five additional accusers who testified that Cosby also drugged and violated them — including one woman who asked him through her tears, “You remember, don’t you, Mr. Cosby?”
Cosby’s new defense team, led by Michael Jackson lawyer Tom Mesereau, countered with a far more robust effort at stoking doubts about Constand’s credibility and raising questions about whether Cosby’s arrest was even legal.
The defense’s star witness was a former colleague of Constand who says Constand spoke of leveling false sexual assault accusations against a high-profile person for the purpose of filing a civil suit. Constand got a civil settlement of nearly $3.4 million from Cosby.
Both juries also heard from Cosby himself — not on the witness stand, but via an explosive deposition he gave in 2005 and 2006 as part of Constand’s civil suit against him. In it, Cosby acknowledged he gave the sedative quaaludes to women before sex in the 1970s.
Cosby’s lawyers devoted the last two days of their case to travel records they say prove he could not have been at his suburban Philadelphia home in January 2004. They argue that any encounter there with Constand would have happened earlier, outside the statute of limitations.
Cosby’s private jet records and travel itineraries produced by Cosby’s lawyers do not show any flights in or out of the Philadelphia area in January 2004, but they have large gaps — a total of 17 days that month in which Cosby was not traveling, performing or taping TV appearances.
District Attorney Kevin Steele noted that the records do not account for other ways Cosby could have gotten to Philadelphia.
“You can’t tell us whether he got on a commercial flight,” Steele said, questioning a defense aviation expert. “You can’t tell us whether he got on a train. You can’t tell us whether he got in a car and drove to Philadelphia.”
The Associated Press does not typically identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault unless they grant permission, which Constand has done.

Actor and comedian Bill Cosby arrives for the closing arguments in the retrial of his sexual assault case Norristown, Pennsylvania
A con man who exploited his fame as "America's Dad" to betray women's trust by drugging and sexually assaulting them, or a misguided married man hoodwinked by a money-grabbing, pathological liar?
The defense and prosecution delivered closing arguments at Bill Cosby's sexual assault retrial Tuesday, before the jury later starts deliberations in the first celebrity trial of the #MeToo era.
The frail 80-year-old Cosby could spend the rest of his life behind bars if convicted of aggravated indecent assault against Andrea Constand, then a Temple University employee, in January 2004.
The case has trashed the legacy of the actor once adored by millions for his role as lovable father and obstetrician Cliff Huxtable on the 1984-92 hit television series "The Cosby Show."
"The perpetrator of that con?" asked prosecutor Kristen Feden, turning on its head central the defense claim that Constand is a con-artist in dramatic and emotional closing remarks.
"That man!" she shouted, striding at speed toward and pointing at an impassive Cosby in the Norristown court, just outside Philadelphia.
Feden said Cosby used his fame to gain the trust of unsuspecting women, time and time again, deliberately drugging Constand so that she would be unable to resist his advances.

Five other accusers testified that Cosby was a serial rapist and predator who preyed on them in a similar manner.
"He's laughing like it's funny?" Feden shouted in Cosby's direction at one point, seemingly in response to his behavior.
"There's nothing funny about that Mr Cosby. And there's nothing funny about five different women, plus Ms Constand. Six. Being incapacitated."
Cosby claims he gave the Canadian Constand an over-the-counter antihistamine to relieve stress and that their relations were consensual.

Constand says Cosby gave her three blue pills, saying they would help her relax but passed out. She woke up to find him penetrating her vagina with his fingers and that he made her masturbate his penis, she says.
The prosecutor said the case was about trust, betrayal and the inability to consent, tearing into the defense's "vicious" and "filthy" character assassination attempts against Cosby's accusers.
Cosby's high-flying defense team urged the jury to acquit their client on all three counts of aggravated indecent assault and save a "distinguished", legally blind, elderly man from "absolute ruin."
Cosby's wife of more than half a century, Camille, wearing an elegant orange coat and sunglasses, attended the defense closings, embracing him tenderly and beaming, but left during the lunch break.
"Mr. Cosby must be acquitted of all counts. He must walk out of here free," said defense lawyer Tom Mesereau, best known for getting the late Michael Jackson acquitted of child molestation.
"You're dealing with a pathological liar, members of the jury, you are," said Mesereau, who has called 45-year-old Constand a "con artist" who pursued a lonely, grieving father and falsely accused the star to bag a $3.38 million civil settlement in 2006 to escape debt.
In a case which essentially boils down to she-said, he-said, Mesereau drilled into what he called 12 "lies" uttered by Constand and called the 2006 settlement "one of the biggest highway robberies of all time."
Cosby's first trial in Norristown, a Philadelphia suburb, ended in a hung jury in June, with a sequestered panel hopelessly deadlocked after six days of testimony and 52 hours of deliberations.
This time they have more testimony to consider.
The defense star witness is Marguerite Jackson, an educated adviser who worked at Temple University for decades, who claimed that Constand spoke of wanting to set up a celebrity for cash.
They have presented phone and travel records to suggest that Cosby was not in Philadelphia to carry out the alleged assault in January 2004.
- 'Not snowflakes' -
Tom Mesereau, center, attorney for Bill Cosby, arrives at the Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pennsylvania, for final arguments in the sexual assault trial of the actor and comedian
Experts have disagreed on whether or not Constand's side-effects were consistent with either the over-the-counter antihistamine nor Quaaludes, a 1970s party drug that Cosby admitted during a 2006 deposition that he had obtained with a view to having sex.
Former federal prosecutor Kathleen Bliss sought to neuter any influence that the cultural watershed of the #MeToo movement may exert.
"Mob rule is not due process," said Bliss, referencing witch hunts, lynchings and McCarthyism as "horrible periods of time where emotion and hatred and fear overwhelm us."
"There isn't a single woman here who hasn't felt the pain... of being made to feel lesser," she said. But women are "not snowflakes," she said. "We reject gossip and speculation and false promises."
Prosecutors initially declined to pursue the case, but reopened it in 2015, arguing new evidence had come to light, while an avalanche of women came forward publicly to accuse the star of decades of assault.

Question: Connecticut Dams in Good Condition Amid California Dam Crisis: Officials

Frightening images out of California amid the Oroville Dam crisis has Connecticut officials reassuring the public that our dam system is in good condition and that the state is at low-risk for that type of scenario.
Nearly 200,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes after the Oroville Dam approached capacity and the spillway designed to deal with that developed a 200-foot sinkhole. Now, to prevent an even bigger catastrophe, officials are releasing water at a rate of nearly 750,000 gallons a second, which is more water than an Olympic size swimming pool.
Those people have now been allowed back to their homes, but have been warned they could be evacuated again.
According to Jennifer Perry, from Connecticut’s Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, "Connecticut has nothing of that scale. We're talking about orders of magnitude smaller than what's out there."
"We believe our dams are in good condition. We know what the condition of those dams are. We are able to direct where the resources need to go in order to keep those dams in good condition," she added.
There are 4,500 dams in Connecticut, all regulated by the state. But following state legislation in 2013, all of those dams are now required to be inspected on a regular schedule and assessed a hazard level.
"About 550 of them are considered to be a higher significant hazard, which means if the dam were to fail, then there is a potential for loss of life downstream," Perry said.
That's concerning to those who live and work downstream in areas throughout the state, like near the Rainbow Dam in Windsor.
"It's concerning because it really can affect us downstream here. It's a lot of water that can be released all at once if there is any kind of catastrophic failure," said Donald Trinks, owner of Bart's Drive In in Windsor.
While Perry said the state isn’t in danger of an Oroville situation, we could be in jeopardy if Connecticut doesn’t keep up with our dam infrastructure.
"Knowing that there is an enormous need for an investment in our own infrastructure to keep people safe, yeah it can make it tough to sleep sometimes," she said.

Question: W7 summit urges leaders to go beyond ‘platitudes’ of calling themselves feminist

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Soon after he arrived in the White House, Trump signed an executive order to enforce the so-called global gag rule, which forbids organizations receiving U.S. funding from providing access to the procedure — or even mentioning it.
The W7 summit coincides with the first in-person meeting of the G7 gender equality advisory council, which includes such high-profile members as Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, Christine Lagarde, the head of the International Monetary Fund, and billionaire philanthropist Melinda Gates.
It remains unclear how many of the members will be coming to Ottawa, but the event includes a panel discussion with Trudeau on Thursday.
The goal of the advisory council, which will be developing its preliminary recommendations for what they would like to see Trudeau champion around the G7 table, is to make sure gender equality — as well as gender-based analysis — is considered throughout what Canada brings to the summit.
Farrah Khan, an anti-sexual violence educator and advocate who is a member of the G7 advisory council, said the council will spend their time together hammering out their preliminary recommendations, which will go to Trudeau and Status of Women Minister Maryam Monsef for review.
Khan said the timeline is tight, but she sees the endeavour as the beginning of something that will last beyond the meeting in June.
"I think no matter the time that we are given or the space that we're given, I think we are going to take up that space and more and ensure that this (has) a ripple effect," said Khan, the manager of the office of sexual violence support and education at Ryerson University in Toronto.
She also said it is important to remember that a government-organized advisory council is neither the beginning nor the end of the work that each of its members — and the feminist movement in general — has been doing to champion the rights of women and girls around the world.
"This is only one part of the push," she said. "Social movements aren't built by the state."

Former UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says Donald Trump should stand “on the right side of history” by reconsidering the decision to pull his country out of the Paris climate change accord, a decision Ban called “misguided” and responding to a “short-term vision.”
The US president’s decision has larger political consequences beyond the impact on global greenhouse gas emissions, Ban told The Associated Press in Madrid. He said the choice leaves a leadership vacuum in international diplomacy.
For almost a decade, Ban spearheaded negotiations that led to the pledge of keeping global temperatures from raising another degree Celsius by 2100. Nearly 200 countries signed the agreement in December 2015. Ban today joined more than 50 former world leaders in a statement criticizing Trump administration’s decision.
