Question: Rumor the German shepherd wins best in show at Westminster

NEW YORK (AP) — Quite a rally for Rumor — a commanding comeback for German shepherds, too.
Rumor was crowned America’s top dog Tuesday night when, a year after a near miss, she came out of retirement to win best in show at the Westminster Kennel Club.
Cheered loudly all around the ring by a packed crowd at Madison Square Garden, and clearly the crowd favorite, she’s just the second German shepherd to win the event that began in 1877.
“Unbelievable,” handler and co-owner Kent Boyles said.
In a year that’s seen lots of late, startling twists in sports — think Patriots, Cubs and Cavaliers — Rumor pulled a shocker. She’d been at home in Wisconsin for months, a house pet headed toward having puppies, when she suddenly jumped back into the show ring in January.
Boyles is a fan of the Green Bay Packers and star quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Seeing a pet go from the couch to this top prize, heck, that’s a dog world Hail Mary.
Rumor beat out a Norwegian elkhound, a Pekingese, a miniature poodle, an Irish setter, a boxer and a Norwich terrier in the final ring. The Irish setter called Adrian finished second.
“The German shepherd standard talks about quality and nobility,” judge Thomas Bradley III said. “When you recognize it, it hits you at home, and that’s what it really is. She is just magnificent.”
The 5-year-old Rumor is named for the Adele hit song “Rumor Has It.” This was the 104th career win for Rumor, and earlier in the day, Boyles said that this would definitely, for real, be her last major show.
“She’s going to be relaxing for a while,” Boyles said after the win, but ultimately, there are “puppies in her future.”
Rumor joined the fittingly named Manhattan in 1987 as the only German shepherds to go best in show at the Garden.
There were nearly 2,800 dogs entered in the 141st Westminster canine competition, spread across the 202 eligible breeds and varieties.

Question: Making Sense Of Charlottesville: A Reader's Guide

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

A rally with white nationalists chanting phrases like "Jews will not replace us" and "end immigration, one people, one nation" was, as many expressed online, disturbing yet not really all that surprising.
Within hours of the tragedy in Charlottesville, journalists, scholars and other leading voices weighed in around the Internet, with analysis and deeper understanding of how this unfolded.
Below are some of the most revealing pieces we read.
Here at Code Switch, my teammate Gene Demby wrote about about how white nationalists are edging their movement out of the shadows:
"Richard Spencer, the white nationalist leader and University of Virginia alum who coined the term 'alt-right,' would likely count that openness as its own incremental success. 'If you greeted someone in 1985 and you said, 'all gays should marry,' you actually would get a lot of laughs,' Spencer told The Atlantic last year, not long after the election. 'By 2015, gay marriage is popular. What is possible has shifted. That's what the alt-right is doing. It's shifting the reality of what's possible, and imagining a reality in which they are.' "
Code Switch alum Matt Thompson, now executive editor at The Atlantic, riffed on the brazenness of the white supremacists who marched this weekend, compared with Klan members of decades past who hid under white hoods. "The shameless return of white supremacy into America's public spaces seems to be happening by degrees, and quickly," Thompson wrote.
Dara Lind, a reporter at Vox who wrote an explainer of the rally and its origins, described it as a "coming-out party for resurgent white nationalism in America."
Nathan Guttman, a reporter with Forward, an online news site aimed at Jewish Americans, penned a vivid piece about covering the march. He recounted watching as Spencer launched into a rant about the mayor of Charlottesville, Michael Signer.
" '[L]ittle Mayor Signer — SEE-NER — how do you pronounce this little creep's name?' asked Richard Spencer, a right-wing leader who dreams of a 'white ethnostate,' as he stood on a bench under a tree to rally his troops, deprived of their protest. The crowd knew exactly how to pronounce his name: 'Jew, Jew, Jew, Jew' some shouted out. The rest burst out in laughter. And that was one of the only moments of levity the alt-right audience gathered under the tree enjoyed."
And Jia Tolentino, a writer for The New Yorker and a graduate of the University of Virginia, meditated on Charlottesville's progressive guise and ability to hide its dark racial past. "While I was at U.V.A., the fact that slaves had built the school was hardly discussed, and the most prominent acknowledgment that Jefferson was a slave owner came on Valentine's Day, when signs went up all over campus that said 'TJ ♥s Sally.' "
Many writers also took on the response from President Trump, whose initial reaction to the violence in Charlottesville condemned equally both sides of the protest. "We condemn in the strongest possible terms this egregious display of hatred, bigotry and violence on many sides," Trump said, in remarks that brought condemnation from both Democrats and Republicans.
Writing for The New Yorker, Jelani Cobb parsed Trump's initial response further:
"We have seen a great number of false equivalencies in the past two years, and the most recent Presidential election was defined by them. Yet it remains striking to hear Trump imply that Nazis and the interracial group of demonstrators who gathered to oppose them were, in essence, equally wrong. It would have been naïve to expect the President to unambiguously condemn neo-Confederates ("Heritage, not hate," etc.), but Nazis? For reasons that are not hard to discern, the swastika, at least in the United States, has always been more clearly legible as a symbol of racial bigotry than the Confederate flag."
Michael Gerson, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush, lambasted Trump in a Washington Post piece, writing that the current president was "incapable" of speaking for the nation in the face of tragedy:
"If great words can heal and inspire, base words can corrupt. Trump has been delivering the poison of prejudice in small but increasing doses. In Charlottesville, the effect became fully evident. And the president had no intention of decisively repudiating his work. What do we do with a president who is incapable or unwilling to perform his basic duties? What do we do when he is incapable of outrage at outrageous things? What do we do with a president who provides barely veiled cover for the darkest instincts of the human heart? These questions lead to the dead end of political realism — a hopeless recognition of limited options. But the questions intensify."
On Monday, Trump responded to the increasing pressure to respond more forcefully, and gave a stronger rebuke. "Racism is evil," Trump said. "And those who cause violence in its name are criminals and thugs, including the K.K.K., neo-Nazis, white supremacists and other hate groups that are repugnant to everything we hold dear as Americans."
In a piece for Commentary Magazine, John Podhoretz, a former speechwriter for Presidents Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush, cast a skeptical eye toward Trump's remarks on Monday:
"You can choose to have whatever opinion you have on the president's statement today condemning white supremacists, but it's hard to believe he would have read it out if he'd had his druthers. No, the real Donald Trump was the one we saw on Saturday when he decided to condemn violence 'on many sides' in response to the deliberately provocative and intentionally violent neo-Nazi march in Charlottesville, Virginia; when he decided to refer to the events as 'sad' in tweets; when he wished 'best regards' to those injured by the car that was deliberately smashed into them, killing 1 and injuring 20. When he acted in that way, he was operating according to his instinct. And his instinct said: Do not attack the white supremacists."
What Trump's comments Monday mean for how, exactly, he will handle the resurgence of white supremacists, remains unclear.
As Maggie Haberman of The New York Times tweeted shortly after Trump's remarks on Monday:

Question: Adorable Toddler Learns about Breast Feeding, Requests Chocolate Milk

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Introducing a toddler to their new baby sibling isn’t always easy, but in this case, it was hilarious.
Ava, 22 months, came into the room while her mom Ali Lukitsch, a teacher from Trenton, Mich., was feeding her new baby sister Hannah. The tot wasn’t quite sure what was going on. First, she told little sister “no biting,” and Mom had to explain what she was doing and that she was getting milk.
That’s when Ava wanted to know “where the chocolate milk” at!”
From the mouths of babes…
The video, shot by Ali’s sister Stephanie Legut, has been shared thousands of times on social media and new mom Ali — who just gave birth to Hannah on Sunday — says she can hardly believe the reaction. “My husband was just asking how I feel about so many people seeing me and I’m just so focused on Ava … That’s just her, in a nutshell, every day, Ali told 98.7 AMP Radio. “We could pop out a million more videos like that. I’m glad that people can see her personality.”
Ava is a regular ‘little Mama’ who wants to do everything for the new baby, including helping to feed her, getting her dressed, and playing with her all the time. “It’s just like her little live baby doll,” mom Ali said.
So, did she get her chocolate milk?
“She loves chocolate milk, yes she does,” Ali said, laughing. “She asked me again this morning, ‘Is she getting chocolate milk? I had to say ‘No, she’s not getting chocolate milk!”

This is fantastic !!! Everyone wanted to be a Toys R’ Us kid right?

Question: A dream becomes a virtual reality in Sooni Taraporevala’s ‘Yeh Ballet’

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

As the sparsely populated Mumbai local train speeds up, two teenagers instantly launch into movement, swaying from one metallic rod to another.
“The first time we met our ballet teacher, he told us to stretch our legs and dance. We didn’t understand a word of what he was saying,” say Amiruddin Shah and Manish Chauhan, undulating amidst goggle-eyed commuters – a point of view enhanced by the 360-degree virtual reality perspective with which they have been shot.
Sooni Taraporevala’s rivetting documentary Yeh Ballet chronicles the lives of the young ballet dancers, who hail from working class families in Mumbai and are among the first in India to get scholarships to study at ballet school in the United States of America. The documentary has been produced by filmmaker Anand Gandhi’s Memesys Culture Lab, and will be screened at the London Indian Film Festival (June 22-29). The 14-minute film captures the challenges faced by the duo up until they leave for the Oregon Ballet Theatre School in the US.
Play Yeh Ballet.
“I was fascinated that two boys who had never heard western classical music or seen classical ballet, after a mere 2 and a half years of instruction were so good that they had got a scholarship to the prestigious Joffrey Ballet in NYC,” said Taraporevala, the writer of several acclaimed films, including Salaam Bombay! and The Namesake, and the director of Little Zizou (2008).

Fifteen-year-old Shah is the youngest of eight siblings and the son of a welder from Sanpada in Navi Mumbai, while 21-year-old Chauhan is from a family of taxi drivers. They learnt ballet from Yehuda Maor. In the film, the American teacher declares that Chauhan is a ‘Broadway meets Ballet’ performer, while Shah is the more ‘traditional’ one.
“I had learnt ballet myself for many years in Bombay as a child,” Taraporevala said. “I know the dance form and how difficult it is even though it looks so effortless and easy.”

Yeh Ballet brings us even closer to the young dancers through the virtual reality format – a first for Taraporevala. “It was a learning curve for me,” she said. “The VR rig is a pole with a round of GO Pro cameras attached to it. I had been told one essential fact that if anybody got within a few feet of the cameras they would be distorted. With a regular camera, film or video that is never a problem.”

Yeh Ballet got its world premiere at the Sheffield Doc Fest, and has been released on streaming platforms. “In Yeh Ballet you are not only following the journey of the two boys but you also have to hear what they say and read subtitles,” Taraporevala explained. “Because of this potential for it being all too much I wanted to make the edit as easy as possible on the viewer. I didn’t want them having to swing around for 14 minutes trying to follow the story.”
With the rig placed in the middle of the studio, the boys were made to dance around it without coming too close, enabling the viewers to virtually trace their moves. “We had no idea what went on in the scenes until we saw the footage later,” Taraporevala said.

The film showed the pair struggling to fill out their visa forms. Six months after production, Manish Chauhan is still pursuing ballet at the Oregon Ballet Theatre. Amiruddin Shah has returned to India and is looking to join the American Ballet Theatre Jacqueline Onassis School after being sponsored by Cipla patriarch Yusuf Hamied through a fundraising campaign.

Question: The First #BoycottAdele Wasn't Over A Grammy, But On How To Make Tea

After her glorious Grammy sweep on Sunday night, Adele woke up to a #BoycottAdele hashtag, with many Beyoncé fans questioning her "unfair" win over their idol. But calls for a boycott are scarcely new for Adele. Last year, after she endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, Trump supporters launched a similar hashtag. Buffeted by the competitive politics of the right and left, the English singer will likely think longingly back to the uncomplicated very first #BoycottAdele hashtag that trended briefly in 2015 after the release of her hit single "Hello."
It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with tea.
The millions of fans who have watched the music video of "Hello" know that a steaming cup of tea has a central role to play in providing succor to the singer's lovesick heart.
Artfully stained with sepia and loss, the retro video opens with a deeply depressed Adele walking into a shut-up house enrobed in dustcovers. Outside, it's wickedly cold and blustery. Inside (her broken heart) the temperature's pretty tundra-like too. So while she lavishly mourns the loss of her coffee-drinking lover in song, Adele does what the English do when things look bleak. She pops the kettle on. There's a delicately patterned china cup and saucer waiting to be filled. So far, so good.
Then, the singer does something absolutely shocking. She pours hot water into the cup and then pops in a tea bag. Instead of the other way around, of course. This casual switching of steps was an outrage and nothing short of tea treason. British twitter sputtered with indignation.
How reassuringly English. A country that has fought two opium wars with China to protect its precious tea supply takes the beverage very seriously.
Ask the man who is the au currant hero, George Orwell. He may have fought totalitarianism all his life, but when it came to making a pot of tea, it was his way or the highway. His popular essay, "A nice cup of tea," is an 11-point disquisition on how to achieve just that. Orwell would have been horrified by Adele's – and the modern streamlined style of – tea-making. Not merely by the presence of a teabag but by the absence of a teapot. "If the tea is not loose in the pot it never infuses properly," he declaimed. In order to get a good infusion, one "should take the teapot to the kettle, and not the other way about. The water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while one pours."
As for that other great anti-totalitarian Brit, John Lennon, he could imagine a world without heaven and religion, but not without tea – brewed the right way, of course. A few years ago, his widow, Yoko Ono, wrote a piece for The New York Times called "The Tea Maker," in which she affectionately recalled their midnight tea-making kitchen trysts. "Yoko, Yoko, you're supposed to first put the tea bags in, and then the hot water," John would admonish her. And so Ono allowed him to make the tea his way. But, for tea purists, there's an unfortunate twist to this story. As Ono tells it:
One night, however, John said: "I was talking to Aunt Mimi this afternoon and she says you are supposed to put the hot water in first. Then the tea bag. I could swear she taught me to put the tea bag in first, but ..." "So all this time, we were doing it wrong?" "Yeah ..." We both cracked up...
So Adele should take heart. She has the great Beatle on her side. But though once a committed tea drinker, Adele has given up her 10-cups-a-day habit. Not because of the tea trolls but because of the pounds she was putting on from the heavily sugared cups.
Meanwhile, her "Hello" video has launched a range of "Hello, it's tea" merchandise and several cheeky parodies, including changing the soulful line of Lionel Richie's 1983 hit, "Hello," to "Hello, is it tea you're looking for?" In another very funny send-up, an English radio presenter rewrote the lyrics to make tea the star. So instead of belting out "Hello from the other side," we have:
Where the hell's my cup of tea? My ginger nut needs dunking see Have you even turned the kettle on? I should have had it by now But all my biscuits are gone I love tea It's me and tea.
On Sunday night, after an awkward, overwrought but sincere-sounding acceptance speech in which she nervously lavished praise on Beyoncé, Adele accidentally broke her trophy in half. As if it were a ginger nut biscuit she was dying to dunk into a cup of tea. With all of those boycott hashtags, she could certainly do with a cuppa.

Question: Cleveland police widen manhunt for Facebook murder suspect

(Reuters) – The manhunt widened on Monday for a murder suspect who police said posted a video of himself on Facebook shooting an elderly man in Cleveland, where authorities appealed to the public for help in the case after urging the killer to turn himself in.
Police said they have received “dozens and dozens” of tips for possible sightings of the suspect, Steve Stephens, and tried to persuade him to surrender when they spoke with him via his cellphone on Sunday after the shooting. But Stephens remained at large as the search for him expanded nationwide, police said.
“Our reach now is basically all over this country,” Cleveland Police Chief Calvin Williams told a news conference in Ohio’s second-largest city.
The shooting marked the latest video clip of a violent crime to turn up on Facebook, raising questions about how the world’s biggest social media network moderates content. The company on Monday said it would begin reviewing how it monitors violent footage and other objectionable material in response to the killing.
Meanwhile, a reward of $50,000 was being offered for information regarding Stephens’ location, officials said.
Police said Stephens used Facebook Inc’s service to post video of him killing Robert Godwin Sr., 74, who is seen standing on a sidewalk carrying a plastic shopping bag as the suspect gets out of his car and approaches him from the street.
“Hi, can you do me a favor? Can you say, ‘Joy Lane?'” the suspect asks Godwin, referring to a woman authorities have identified as Stephen’s former girlfriend.
The elderly man, looking bewildered, asks, “Joy Lane?” and the suspect is heard replying, “Yeah. She’s the reason why this is about to happen to you.” He then asks Godwin his age before gunning him down.
Stephens is not believed to have known Godwin, a retired foundry worker who media reports said spent Easter Sunday morning with his son and daughter-in-law before he was killed.
Godwin was the father of nine children and grandfather of 14, his son, Robert Godwin Jr., told the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Godwin Jr. could not immediately be reached by Reuters to comment.
Lane, in a text message to CBS News commenting on the shooting, said she was “sorry that all of this has happened.”
She went on to describe Stephens as having been “kind and loving to me and my children,” adding, “This is a very difficult time for me and my family.” Reuters was not able to reach Lane by phone or email for comment.
The shooting video was visible on Facebook for nearly two hours before it was reported, the company said.
“As a result of this terrible series of events, we are reviewing our reporting flows to be sure people can report videos and other material that violates our standards as easily and quickly as possible,” Justin Osofsky, a Facebook vice president, said in a blog post.
Stephens, who has no prior criminal record, is not suspected in any other murders, despite a claim he made in the video of having killed more than a dozen other people, police said.
“To be honest, we’ve interviewed several people involved in this and I don’t think there is any rhyme or reason for it happening,” Williams said.
The last confirmed sighting of Stephens was at the scene of the homicide. Police said he might be driving a white or cream-colored Ford Fusion, and asked anyone who spots him or his car to call police or a special FBI hotline (800-CALLFBI).
Stephens had worked since 2008 as a vocational specialist and youth mentor at Beech Brook, a behavioral health agency located outside Cleveland. Beech Brook’s offices were closed on Monday.

Question: NBA trade rumors: Spurs want giant package from Lakers for Kawhi Leonard

The Lakers will have back up a metaphorical Brink's truck to San Antonio if they want to make a trade for Kawhi Leonard.
To pry Leonard away from the Spurs and bring him onto a roster with LeBron James, the Lakers will have to give up young assets Brandon Ingram and Kyle Kuzma, as well as two first-round picks and two swapped picks, Larry Coon told Spectrum Sportsnet.
NBA salary cap expert @LarryCoon was on tonight's show to break down the #Lakers' cap space flexibility following today's moves. pic.twitter.com/GTB1fYdQrk — Spectrum SportsNet (@SpectrumSN) July 3, 2018
The Spurs don’t want to trade Leonard, but if it becomes clear he’ll leave as a a free agent next offseason regardless, they’ll want a massive return for a player considered one of the five best in the NBA.
Ingram made a nice leap in his second year, upping his scoring average to 16.1 points per game, while Kuzma outshone Lonzo Ball in his rookie season, averaging 16.1 points and 6.3 rebounds per game.
The price tag placed on Leonard makes it clear the Spurs aren’t interested in re-building the team from the ground up if they lose a superstar. Ingram and Kuzma are nice pieces that could keep San Antonio in the playoff picture in a loaded Western Conference, and maybe even develop into an impactful NBA duo.

Question: Los Angeles tests cooling pavement paint to beat heat

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

Can a splash of gray pavement paint help combat global warming?
Published 11:40 AM, August 14, 2017
LOS ANGELES, USA – Can a splash of gray pavement paint help combat global warming?
In Los Angeles, where summer temperatures regularly surpass 100 degrees Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius), workers are coating streets in special gray treatments in a bid to do just that.
The City of Angels, home to 4 million people, is the first major city to test the technology.
Normal black asphalt absorbs 80 to 95% of sunlight, while the gray "cool pavement" reflects it – dramatically lowering ground temperature and reducing urban street heat, advocates of the method say.
During a demonstration of the technique, Jeff Luzar – sales director at GuardTop, which markets the product – showed how applying the paint could drop street temperatures by about 12 degrees Fahrenheit after just one coat.
Los Angeles is the first city in California to test the treatment on a public road, after initial trials on parking lots, according to Greg Spotts, assistant director of the city's Bureau of Street Services.
"We're hoping to inspire other cities to experiment with different ways to reduce the heat island effect," he said. "And we're hoping to get manufacturers to come up with some new products."
"Potentially there could be a huge market for cool pavement products, and in fact, it's part of a much larger economic trend where solutions for climate change could be the next great investments for the future," Spotts added.
The city will also monitor how Angelenos react to the newfangled asphalt – and how quickly the notoriously thick LA traffic dirties the gray coating.
'Right approach'
George Ban-Weiss, an assistant professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Southern California, said cool pavements show promise in reducing heat, but "may have some environmental penalties."
"Recent and current research is working out whether the environmental benefits of cool pavements outweigh those penalties," Ban-Weiss told Agence France-Presse.
Still, "the city of Los Angeles is taking the right approach and installing and assessing several cool pavement test sections before committing to widespread adoption," he said.
Ban-Weiss noted that heat mitigation strategies like planting trees along streets and using cool roofing materials were more "no-brainer" remedies.
Alan Barreca, an environmental science professor at the University of California, Los Angeles, said the pavement cooling technology could be more equitable than current methods like air conditioning.
"Not everyone has the resources to use air conditioning, so there's concern that some low-income families will suffer," he said. "That bothers me on a moral dimension. The pavement would provide benefits to everyone."
"It can protect people who have to be outdoors," he added.
Plus, he added, "lower temperatures – due to the pavement – mean less reliance on air conditioning. So, that means less greenhouse gases." – Rappler.com

Your browser does not support the video tag. Third Nature During extreme storms, it's common for city infrastructure — from roads to subways to parking garages — to flood. Architects from Danish firm Third Nature want to build garages that can cope with future storms. They designed a garage that could automatically move up and down as its water reservoir fills with and empties floodwater. Check out the conceptual structure, called Pop-Up, below. View As: One Page Slides
During storms, the garage would use hydraulics to automatically pop up, reducing the chance of flooding.
The water could collect in the reservoir, and then filter out through a connected sewer system. Once the water disappeared, the garage would lower again.
Third Nature sees the garage as a way to add green space to cities. Pop-Ups would include a pedestrian area on the top floor and plants on every level.
The architects believe flood-prone cities could benefit from the garage, including Mexico City, London, Rio de Janeiro, Singapore, and Tokyo. Most cities, especially in the United States, were designed for the needs of the car rather than the pedestrian. In New York City — the densest metro in the country — there are over 800 parking garages and thousands more lots (i.e. concrete that can exacerbate flooding in heavy rainfall). Pop-Up garages would add green space and parking, as well as mitigate flooding, according to Third Nature.

So today, we’re paying tribute to the Caped Crusader’s enduring philosophy with a look at some of Batman’s very specific gadgets.
BATARANG X
It says a lot about Batman that having little metal versions of his own logo that he throws at people to knock them out isn’t even close to being the weirdest thing about his gadgets. No, if you really want to see the weirdness of the Batarangs, you have to get the specific ones, and there aren’t much weirder than Batarang X.
Originally appearing in “The 100 Batarangs of Batman” from Detective Comics #244, it was the brainchild of Bill Finger and Sheldon Moldoff. As the title implies, there were plenty of other highly specialized boomerangs in that story, too, but Batarang X was touted as a weapon so dangerous that it was kept in a locked (albeit clearly labeled) vault in the Batcave. When criminals start using Batrangs of their own, however, they’re forced to unleash the pure destructive power of… a very… large… Batarang.
Okay, so it doesn’t seem that weird, but the fact that Batman uses it as a stealthy mode of transportation, as though a twelve-foot bright red boomerang shaped like a bat would be less noticeable than literally anything else? Even for him, that’s pretty strange.
THE NTH METAL BATARANG
It’s always worth mentioning that while they’re usually thought of as being a product of the Silver Age, there are a few specialized Batarangs that managed to slip into more modern comics, too. In 2014’s Batman Eternal #6, for example, Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV, Ray Fawkes and Trevor McCarthy showed Batman taking out the Gentleman Ghost with a Nth Metal Batarang.
Two things: First, Batman got access to the mystical space metal that gives Hawkman the power of flight and used it exclusively to make something that he could throw at people he doesn’t like. Second, and perhaps more importantly, Batman lives in a world where he has to fight ghosts so often that he just carries around a special anti-ghost boomerang in his belt all the time. Remember that next time someone tries to tell you he’s a gritty, street-level vigilante.
THE MIRROR COWL
The one thing you really have to give to Batman is that he comes up with some pretty unique solutions to his problems. Then again, I suppose that’s to be expected when your starting point is a guy who decided to end all crime by dressing up as a bat and driving around in a rocket car. That’s some pretty far out-of-the-box thinking.
When he ran up against a criminal called the Mirror Man in Finger and Moldoff’s Detective Comics #213, however, he had to deal with the problem of a villain who could use an “X-Ray mirror” to see through his mask and discover his secret identity. And even worse, one who could hook that mirror up to a camera and broadcast it to the world. The solution: a specialized “mirror cowl” beneath his regular mask that would distort his features, preserving his identity.
In other words, Batman lined how cowl with shards of glass right before getting into a fistfight, which has got to be the second most buck wild thing about this story. The first? The fact that he even put mirror shards on his bat-ears, just in case.
THE TRUTH CHAMBER
While we’re on the subject of mirrors, no list of specific gadgetry would be complete without a look at the infamous Truth Chamber. Admittedly, it’s less of a “gadget” and more of an architectural feature, but definitely, serves the same sort of purpose.
Making its first appearance in Detective Comics #134’s “The Umbrellas of Crime,” by Bill Finger and Jim Mooney, it’s basically just an interrogation chamber with a truly bizarre twist. After being captured, a criminal would be brought to a hall of mirrors in the depths of the Batcave, lit by creepy lights and rigged up to a PA so that Batman’s booming, stentorian voice can terrorize criminals into confessing their crimes. It’s surprisingly effective, too, considering that most people are not instantly terrorized by the sight of their own reflection, even if you throw a couple of colored lights in there for good measure.
The Truth Chamber didn’t make a lot of appearances, probably because Batman having a psychedelic torture chamber in his basement is a little too weird even by the standards of a guy who keeps a robot dinosaur and a giant penny down there. In 2010, however, Grant Morrison and Chris Burnham brought it back for an encore performance in Batman and Robin #16. In a run full of deep cuts, that one might’ve been the deepest.
THE BAT-RADIA
When I say that Morrison went for some deep cuts, I wasn’t kidding. The entirety of his run on Batman was filled with references to what, up to that point, had been a pretty obscure Silver Age story about Batman being transported to the distant world of Zur-En-Arrh, where a man named Tlano fought crime in a multi-colored costume as the Batman of Planet X. In that story, he had a device called the Bat-Radia that could “manipulate atmospheric molecules” to do… well, whatever the story required, really.
When Morrison and Tony Daniel brought those ideas back in 2008’s Batman R.I.P., they came in a very different form. The Batman of Zur-En-Arrh was Bruce Wayne using a backup personality that Batman created in case anyone ever brainwashed him — rebooting his own brain into “Safe Mode,” if you will — and the Bat-Radia was a pocket-sized transistor radio rewired to activate a set of secret security measures in Arkham Asylum.
THE INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL ROBOT ANALYZER
If we were being honest with each other, this entire list of way-too-specific Bat-tchotchkes could be lifted from the 1966 Batman television show. It was, after all, one of the hallmarks of the series, with all the increasingly bizarre crime-fighting paraphernalia clearly labeled for convenience.
That said, I tried to limit myself to only one, and the one that always sticks out, even in a world of Giant Lighted Lucite Maps of Gotham City and Bat-Reference Desks, is the Integro-Differential Robot Analyzer. It shows up in Season 2’s “The Joker’s Last Laugh” / “The Joker’s Epitaph,” a truly weird story that involves a miniature fake Batcave and the Joker building a handful of incredibly lifelike robots in prison. The Robot Analyzer is, of course, meant to analyze robots, and again, this is apparently enough of a problem that Batman has to have an entire dedicated machine to deal with it.
THE RAINBOW BAT-SUITS
Back in the Silver Age, there were a few prevailing rules for how to make a cover at DC. The first rule, of course, was to put a gorilla on it, but when you couldn’t do that, the idea was often that you’d ask an eye-grabbing question that the readers just had to find out the answer to. Case in point: Detective Comics #241, in which Batman insisted to Robin and the readers that he must — must! — wear a different costume every night, one in every color in the rainbow.
The answer was surprisingly underwhelming: it was all a distraction. While the citizens (and criminals) of Gotham City busied themselves trying to figure out why Batman was going in a new sartorial direction, they failed to notice that Robin was suffering from the same injury that Dick Grayson got in a very public incident, thus preserving their secret identities. Because that’s what reasonable people do, right? They keep special clothes around so that no one will notice the injuries being suffered by the children they take on their nightly crime-fighting missions.
THE BAT-ROBIN COSTUME
In Detective Comics #165, Edmond Hamilton and Dick Sprang’s “The Strange Costumes of Batman introduced a handful of… well, you can probably guess. There was one made of thin, highly flammable cellophane that Batman could fold to a tiny size and destroy instantly with a match that was used when the Caped Crusader went undercover in prison, and that was also pretty impractical for literally anything else. A costume that leaves you naked if you wander too close to a candle isn’t a great asset for most crime-fighting situations.
Like the Batarang X story, however, this tale was built around another suit that they hoped they’d never have to use, and that, of course, they end up using about seven pages later. In this case, it’s a Batman costume with what’s very clearly the outline of a bird with a big red dot on his chest, and it doesn’t take the World’s Greatest Detective to figure out why.
Sure enough, it’s the opposite of the rainbow costumes: a suit for Robin to wear (complete with foam-rubber muscles to make him look like an adult) to keep people from realizing that Batman is out of commission due to injury.
THE SCUBA SUIT
When I was a kid, one of the most difficult things in the world was finding a Batman action figure that actually looked like Batman. Usually, there’d be one in every toy line that had the right colors (I have fond memories of Combat Belt Batman, whose only off-model accessory was an oversized removable utility belt), and the rest would be, in, like, Arctic Camo or Neon Green with Grappling Hook Action. They were the ones you settled for when you couldn’t find the one you really wanted, but they never looked like the character.
Larry Hama and Scott McDaniel’s “Orca,” from Batman #579 – 581, feels like a story that was meant to justify that action figure. The real development here is, of course, the introduction of Orca, the whale-woman who managed to defy all the odds by making it to the big screen in The Lego Batman Movie. Bbut it also features the debut of a SCUBA-themed costume that Batman has just in case he ever has to slug it out with a villain who’s half-whale, half-scientist, all villain.
It’s not his best look, and here’s the kicker: they never even made that thing into an actual action figure. Missed opportunity for a two-pack, if you ask me.
HEAD-MOUNTED KNOCKOUT GAS VENTS
Batman’s tendency to prepare for every conceivable outcome means that he’s always prepared for the worst, usually in the weirdest possible way. For most people, being attacked by ruffians after crashing a rocket car — like Batman does at the start of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s Hush — would leave them in a pretty vulnerable state. For Batman, it’s just another occasion to show the extent to which he’s booby-trapped his own body.
Not only does his suit let out a high-voltage electrical charge, his cowl features tiny vents that shoot knockout gas at his assailants. It’s pretty effective as such things go, but it does raise a lot of questions about whether someone should be emitting knockout gas from their face — you know, the part of your body that you use to breathe? But really, who are we to question Batman?
EAR-KNIVES
If head-gas vents and taser-clothes set the standard, Scott Snyder and John Romita Jr.’s All-Star Batman takes Batman’s booby-trapped costume up to eleven. Maybe twelve. Heck, now that I’m thinking about it, it might just take it up to sixteen.
Over the course of a story that finds Batman dragging Two-Face five hundred miles outside Gotham City in the world’s most brutal road trip. Batman uses “Bat-Knuckles” that pop out of his gauntlets like Wolverine’s claws, an emblem that shoots off of his chest to knock out assailants while his arms are tied, and speakers in his costume that can convert his sidekick’s playlist into a devastating sonic attack. The best by far, though, are Batman’s ear-knives.
They’re exactly what they sound like: a pair of knives hidden in his cowl that uses his big pointy bat-ears as their handle. What truly makes them great, though is the fact that when he’s using them, Batman pretends he can no longer hear. That’s commitment to a bit that we can all admire.

Question: Teen raped friend, took photos while she slept

A TEEN used the trust he'd gained from a long-term friendship to rape a girl while she slept in her own home.
The boy - who was aged 17 at the time - was invited to the then 16-year-old girl's Currimundi home for a sleepover in March last year.
The pair slept next to each other in the lounge room on a double mattress with separate blankets.
In the early hours of the morning the teen - who can't be named - put two fingers inside the girl's vagina while she was sleeping.
She woke and said, "what the f--- are you doing?" before falling back asleep.
Undeterred, he then pulled the girl's underwear to the side and took photos of her genitals.
The flash from the camera woke her up again and her abuser quickly left.
By 10am that day, the teenage boy was being questioned by police and made full admissions.
He yesterday pleaded guilty in Maroochydore District Court to single counts of rape and recordings in breach of privacy of the genital region.
Although the teen was 17 at the time of the offence, he was sentenced as an adult.
The court heard the pair had been friends for six or seven years and met when his family had moved from South Africa to Australia.
The teen had also hoped to become a police officer upon graduating Year 12, but now had to consider doing a trade instead.
Judge John Robertson sentenced the teen to 12 months' imprisonment for the rape, suspended immediately for 18 months and 18 months' probation for taking the photos.
No convictions were recorded.

Question: Public’s poor knowledge of anatomy ‘hampers healthcare’

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

Fewer than two in three people know where their heart is, according to new research.
And just four out of 10 can pick out their stomach, suggests the study.
Even less - just a quarter of women and four out of 10 men - were successful at identifying the liver - despite soaring illnesses caused by drinking too much.
Only two in five knew where their spleen and gall bladder is, while fewer than a quarter can locate their pancreas despite its role in diabetes and six in ten their kidneys.
Ignorance about anatomy is endangering the effectiveness of health screening campaigns that target a specific organ, warn scientists.
They were inspired to get to the bottom of the lack of knowledge after a Prostate Cancer UK study recently found more than half of men did not know where their prostate gland was - and 17 percent were even unaware they had one.
The only organ which 100 per cent of people answered correctly was the brain, reports Anatomical Sciences Education.
Where the heart is
Dr Adam Taylor, an expert in clinical anatomy at Lancaster University Medical School, said: “I expected the heart to be up there with the brain, but a lot of people thought it was in the middle of the chest, instead of left of centre, perhaps influenced by Valentine’s Day representations.
“The liver has had a lot of publicity because the damage alcohol can do to it, and likewise the lungs with smoking.
“But if people do not know where these organs even are, health campaigns are unlikely to have much impact on them.”
Fewer than two in three people knew where their bladder is, and less than six in 10 their hamstrings, with women again faring particularly poorly.
Dr Taylor said middle-aged people who had not gone to university scored better than young graduates.
He said: “Whilst many of the public do not have or need formal anatomical knowledge, it is beneficial in monitoring and explaining their own health.”
Gut feelings
Members of the public up to the age of 70 were asked to place 21 human body parts on a blank template.
These included the brain, cornea, lungs, liver, diaphragm, heart, stomach, appendix, bladder, kidneys, pancreas, gallbladder, spleen, adrenals, thyroid, hamstrings, biceps, triceps, quadriceps, cruciate ligament and Achilles tendon.
They were chosen based on mentions in everyday life such as keeping fit, sports injuries, TV shows and online searches for abdominal pain. The biceps and cornea were the next most correctly answered structures.
Those the public knew least about were the adrenal glands which less than one in seven could identify. Many mistakenly thought were in the neck, instead of at the top of the kidneys.
Overall, men scored higher than women in identifying muscles, but not internal organs. Graduates did not score better than non-graduates.
Older people scored higher than young people, peaking in the 40 to 49 age group which may be because this is when people begin visiting the doctor more often.
People who had visited a healthcare professional prior to the quiz fared no better than those who had not.
Dr Taylor said the quiz revealed the public’s eagerness to learn anatomy despite their limited knowledge of the human body.
He said the pilot study of 63 individuals is now being extended to involve thousands of participants, to find out just how ignorant Britons are when it comes to their own body.

Russia’s indefatigable president stormed to victory for his fourth term on a wave of admiration — or by stamping out all opposition, depending on which way you look at it. But in his Sunday night victory speech, given in a frosty Red Square, Vladimir Putin talked about unity. He told a cheering crowd they were part of a ‘big national team’ who would realise his grand vision for the motherland and that he would not be guided by ‘daily political calculations’. Western observers might take some convincing while diplomatic rows rumble on over the deployment of nerve agent on the streets of the UK and the question of Russian interference in the last US election.
But how dangerous is the Russian leader really? Perhaps less so than we imagine, says Gideon Rachman in his column. For while he is reckless, he is not irrational, and history suggests he can be deterred. It may be, argues Gideon, that Mr Putin is willing to take big risks when he believes that the west is not paying attention — Russia’s annexation of Crimea is a case in point. But when he meets clear resistance, he backs off.
While the president’s fans believe him to be a brilliant strategist who can get away with anything, the truth is that Mr Putin is prone to mistakes and makes calculations that often backfire. The result is that Russia is much poorer and more isolated than it should be, whatever the president’s grandiose rhetoric suggests.
Our digital cesspit:
The allegation that Cambridge Analytica accessed the Facebook profiles of millions of US voters and targeted them with personalised messages to help Donald Trump’s chances of election show us how connected devices can be abused and polluted to manipulate their users, argues John Thornhill. But before we assign all the blame to internet platforms we should take a look at our own complicity in fanning false news and fuelling a market for stories that stoke disgust and fear.
Pulling strings:
The revolving door between EU institutions and the private sector shows the Brussels lobbying industry at its worst, writes EU ombudsman Emily O’Reilly. The problem is more noticeable as Brexit-related consultancy work is booming — the uncertainty around the negotiations provides lucrative opportunities for EU insiders with good networks. Brussels officials are particularly attractive for their detailed and technical knowledge.
Advice to disgruntled centrists:
The mood is dark among the UK Labour party’s moderate MPs, says James Kirkup. Exasperated by opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn’s apparent remaking of Labour in his leftist image, they whisper about the creation of a new centrist party. But they are not ready yet. A new party needs a new image, agenda and policies — especially economic ones — to sell to voters.

Restrictive ownership hobbles audit industry — letter from Paul Boyle

Had there been similar ownership rules in the airline industry (ie if airlines had to be owned by qualified pilots) then many of the disruptive new entrants would not have been able to get off the ground — literally.

Question: A DISCUSSION ON THE PLIGHT ON INDIAN FARMERS

Shri. Sanjay Dalmia, leading philanthropist and industry leader hosted an afternoon for activist and author Kota Neelima’s book Widows of Vidharbha: Making of Shadows, that chronicles the life of 16 widows of Indian farmers. The evening was followed by a panel discussion between Ms. Neelima and Mr.Dalmia offering an insightful perspective. The panel was moderated by senior journalist Ms. Gargi Parsai, who has extensively written on farmers’ suicide, agriculture, food, water resources, rural development, gender and health issues.
They tabled their views on the various development lead policies of the government on farmers. Ms. Kota Neelima said, “The government and political parties deal with farmers like patrons, deciding who does and doesn’t deserve support. However, when it comes to corporate, the same state trusts businessmen with not just massive loans but friendly policy. The question has to be asked: Is it really a democracy where the rich get what they want and the farmers commit suicide because he is invisible to the state?”
Mr. Sanjay Damia talked about the initiatives and contributions by the industry leaders towards the farmers. His recommendations to the governing bodies as well as other fellow Indians looked at enhancing and uplifting the status of farmers in our country. He said, “Farmers’ suicides and government apathy are closely linked to each other. Progressively, governments have, in their quest of appeasing the city denizens and corporate India neglected those who till the land and fill our plates with food.”
Hard loan terms, shifty markets, and zero progress in the technology enhancement of the agricultural sector have rendered the farmer helpless. Even the proposed reserve price is too small a support to offer.
The talk was attended by city’s significant personalities including Ms. Anshu Khanna, Ms. Sushmita Clays, Laxmana Dalmia, Jai Madaan, Parul Mahajan, Amber Paridhi Sahai at the Dalmia House, 9 Tees January Marg, New Delhi.

Question: Big plants can make a big statement in your landscape

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

Please enable Javascript to watch this video
We already know that plants can come in all shapes and sizes. Let's take a look at two large plants that can make a big impact in your flowering landscape.
First is angel trumpet, or Brugmansia. Angel trumpet is a tropical, woody plant that can bloom in white, pink, purple, or yellow. It thrives in warm temperatures and usually doesn't start blooming until mid to late summer. It's a beautiful plant with large, drooping, trumpet-like flowers that are, but all parts of it are poisonous if eaten. These plants need to be protected throughout the winter, somewhere like a garage or greenhouse if you expect it to come back next year.
Another large plant to consider is confederate rose. Don't let the name fool you - this plant is actually a type of hibiscus. It's a very hearty perennial that grows rapidly during the summer and flowers at the beginning of fall. Flowers can change color throughout the day, starting white to light pink and finishing pink to pinkish red by the end of the day. This hibiscus plant can tolerate wet soil, so too much water is not a problem. Make sure this one has plenty of room to grow - they can easily grow six to fifteen feet tall.
So, if you're looking for a large plant to make a big show in your landscape, consider one of these beautiful, large plants.

Question: Couple seeking ‘Ossington Bear’ owner after toy found on TTC train with half-eaten cookies

Toronto has its own stuffed animal going on adventures and just like Paddington Bear, it’s named after a train station.
But the couple who found “Ossington Bear” is looking for its rightful owner.
Rhonda Riche and her husband were going out for dinner Monday when they found the abandoned stuffed polar bear on an eastbound TTC subway train at High Park station.
“We found the bear sitting alone on the subway, half-eaten cookies left behind,” Riche told the Star. “We wanted to reunite him, but at the same time were kind of scared because the TTC lost and found office was closed.”
Instead, the couple turned to Bunz, an online trading platform, to find the toy’s owner — dubbed “Ossington Bear” for the station they were heading towards.
“We thought it would be faster to turn to the power of Bunz,” she said. “They’re really great, I’ve seen them perform all kinds of miracles, connecting them with lost keys, and bikes, and all kinds of pets, so it seemed like a good place to go to get help.”
Meanwhile they decided to take the bear for a night on the town.
“We thought we’d take him along with us and record his adventures so that when Ossington Bear does get reunited, he would have a nice story to share, to let him know he was well taken care of,” Riche said.

Question: NFL Preseason 2017: Week 2 TV Schedule, Odds and Expert Predictions Against the Spread

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

The 2017 NFL preseason just wrapped up its first official week without too much to get excited about. Teams overwhelmingly opted to rest key players and instead evaluated the fringes of their rosters. There were a few bright spots, such as hope-inspiring play from a trio of rookie quarterbacks in Mitchell Trubisky of the Chicago Bears, the Houston Texans’ Deshaun Watson and DeShone Kizer of the Cleveland Browns, but these performances were few and far between. That could all change in Week 2, which begins on Thursday and extends through the weekend, culminating with the season's first Monday Night Football showdown on ESPN.
Winning or losing doesn't matter much to NFL clubs during the exhibition schedule, but most sportsbooks still offer lines on the action. If you are looking for a way to add a bit of meaning to your preseason, consider ramping placing down a wager on the action. This takes a completely different system of betting than you may be accustomed to, as oddsmakers are conservative with their lines against the spread and bad clubs are completely capable of beating great ones.
The Jacksonville Jaguars proved as much in Week 1, beating the New England Patriots outright after going into the road matchup as a 3.5-point underdog. In the regular season, Jacksonville would almost certainly be a bigger dog and a straight-up upset would be extremely unlikely, but anything can and does happen in the preseason.
Jon Price of SportsInformationTraders.com saw that one coming last week, tipping readers off to get behind the Jags as a 5.5-point dog before the lines moved. Bettors who got on Jacksonville late at +3.5 still had plenty of breathing room when the final whistle blew. Price is back at it again with another can’t-miss prediction for the upcoming slate of games. Before getting to his pick, let’s take a quick peek at the latest odds and complete schedule for Week 2 of the 2017 NFL preseason.

Question: How I Tried and Failed to Be a Cool Boss

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

Photo: Miramax
An investigation into the joy and pain of fitting in: With this series, we’re exploring the pathologies, hierarchies, and quirks of female socialization from high school to the workplace and beyond.
I had never been a boss before (unless you count being the editor of my college magazine for a year — which I don’t) when I got the executive editor job at BuzzFeed five and a half years ago. I was excited for many reasons, not least of which was that I thought I’d finally have the chance to be the great boss I’d never had. I envisioned being tough but fair, responsible and magnanimous, someone in whom my direct reports would want to confide and whose advice they would take gratefully. And I vowed to be the kind of boss you’d want to hang out with. In my decade-plus of working, I never understood why my managers had always been so unsocial. I wanted to be different.

Before becoming a boss, I made friends at my various workplaces easily; being friendly with my co-workers was integral to my workplace happiness. I had friends outside of work, of course, but work friends made the day tolerable. Of course, a large part of the nature of a workplace friendship is bonding over your shared misery, whether real or imagined. And that bonding tended to be sprinkled with complaints about our bosses. “Does she even do any work?” I would type to a friend about my boss. “Like seriously I think she just sits in meetings all day.” I laugh (ruefully!) now at my naïve misunderstanding, and the implication that meetings are somehow a way of blowing off more serious work.
When I got on the other side, I quickly learned how misguided I’d been. First of all, being a boss requires a lot of meetings. A lot. There are weekly one-on-ones with your direct reports. There are daily meetings with the senior staff and weekly meetings with the executives. There are departmental meetings. There are performance reviews, and there are job interviews — when I wondered why it took so long to hire people at my previous jobs, now I knew. Hiring is itself a full-time job. And then in the middle of all of that — 15 minutes here, half an hour there — I was also expected to put out whatever fires that came up, and there were always fires. There’s not much time left in the day, in other words, to become friends with anyone.
My sense of isolation grew over time. When a woman who worked for me started dating someone else in the office, I heard that they’d been hanging out with other people we worked with — but she didn’t tell me until one day, months into their relationship, when she asked me to have lunch in order to come clean that they’d been dating. I was happy for her, but also felt a little sad; it felt like she was telling me more for HR reasons than for anything else, even though we didn’t have a policy about dating people in the office. Certainly she was under no obligation to tell me — but it just served to highlight how much my status had changed, and how I didn’t feel totally comfortable with it.
I compensated by trying to be a cruise director. Not long after I started my new job, I suggested that everyone go out for karaoke. People seemed reasonably excited about it; we got to the karaoke bar and for a couple hours, everyone sang, drank, and seemed to be having a good time. And then, as things were winding down, I noticed that a few people seemed to be leaving together, and I quickly gathered that they were going to a second location! Without me.
I knew that my feelings of being left out were not rational — I couldn’t expect that I was going to automatically infiltrate every group of friends — but I couldn’t help but have the same feeling you have in high school when you find out that you weren’t invited to the party that weekend. But now it was compounded by the feeling of embarrassment at being a woman in her 30s who felt bad that people she wasn’t even friends with weren’t inviting her out to the after-party. What was wrong with me? Why couldn’t I just get over it?
I found myself becoming hyperaware of who was hanging out with whom in the office — not even who was dating whom (although of course that was interesting too), but who had become friends. I adopted a persona that felt — not haughty exactly, but an “I have my own friends anyway so I don’t need to be hanging out with you” persona. Even though I kind of really wanted to.
And even the times when I was invited out to drinks sent me into a tailspin. Did they really like me, or were they just trying to kiss up to me because I’m the boss? For someone like me — an anxious extrovert who genuinely likes people but is also painfully aware of being excluded — this was an almost instant perfect storm of stress.
After a few years, I’d had enough. I think it takes a particular kind of person to be a good boss — someone who cares less about what people think of them, for starters — and I was feeling like I was not it. Certainly, the social aspects of my job were not the only reasons I was unhappy — I was coming home stressed every night, answering emails and chats at all hours — but I felt socially isolated in a way that I never had when I was just an employee.
When you’re not the boss, you have outlets if you’re feeling frustrated at work, or have a problem with co-worker. When you’re the boss, you don’t: It feels unseemly, for one thing, and for another, there just aren’t as many people around to complain to. You can’t complain to the people who work for you, for obvious reasons, and I also felt like I needed to maintain this brave face with my boss. So my husband and friends outside of work bore the brunt of it — but of course, they couldn’t really understand what I was struggling with.
My husband gently suggested that I talk to my boss about possibly switching jobs, and I prickled. In most workplaces, it can seem that the only way up is to become more senior, to have people and departments you’re in charge of, and I worried that relinquishing my job as a boss would mean that I had failed. But I couldn’t go on like this.
Finally, I gave up my management role and became a staff writer, and became instantly happier. Of course, it wasn’t just for social reasons, but I soon realized that my personality is just too neurotic to be an effective boss — or a happy one. (Being a writer, on the other hand, rewards neuroticism. Or at least neuroticism is more at home here.) Now I could go out for drinks with my co-workers and not have everyone expect I’d pay for them with my corporate card. I was immediately privy to important office gossip via text. Maybe most important, I was invited to the wedding of someone who had formerly reported to me — and I didn’t have to worry that she had invited me out of obligation. She invited me because I wasn’t just her old boss. I had become her actual friend.

Question: Suspect Arrested In Death Of N. Korean Dictator's Half-Brother

Malaysian authorities say they have detained a woman in the suspicious death of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un's half-brother, Kim Jong Nam. Kim, who was in his mid-40s, was the eldest of former dictator Kim Jong Il's children. He died en route to the hospital Monday after some sort of encounter at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
The woman detained was carrying Vietnamese travel documents, according to police, and was alone at the time of the arrest. Malaysian media cite government sources saying closed-circuit cameras at the airport caught two women approaching Kim. One of them covered his face with a cloth before walking away. Police say Kim fell ill and asked a counter clerk for help.
Sources tell NPR his body was transported earlier Tuesday from one hospital to a larger one — Hospital Kuala Lumpur. An autopsy will be performed.
After growing up in Western countries, Kim had been living outside North Korea for decades. He was believed to have homes in Macau, Beijing and Paris. In 2001, Kim was detained trying to enter Japan on false travel documents. He later said he was trying to bring his family to Tokyo Disneyland.
The big mystery, if he didn't die of natural causes, is why Kim Jong Nam was attacked, and why now.
"I don't think we will know the full story about the death of Kim Jong Nam for many years," says Michael Madden, a visiting scholar at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, who runs the site North Korean Leadership Watch.

Question: Switzerland weighs relaxing marijuana ban

Represent this text to find a news title for it.

ZURICH (Reuters) - Switzerland, which permits low potency cannabis but bans most marijuana for recreational use, aims to allow pilot studies on ways to relax its laws, its government said on Wednesday.
It also proposed making it easier for people to access medical marijuana to treat conditions like multiple sclerosis or cancer.
Cannabis is now regularly used recreationally by about 200,000 people in Switzerland, the government said.
“Although current laws forbid its consumption and seek to punish it, this number is not declining,” the government said. “At the same time, the black market is flourishing, and the safety of consumers cannot be guaranteed due to a lack of quality control.”
Several cities and cantons in Switzerland are seeking to undertake studies to test different models for regulation, said the statement from the seven-member Federal Council, which serves as Switzerland’s government. It recommended changes to laws to allow such pilot studies to proceed.
“The scientific pilot studies would be limited and restricted to specific areas,” the government said. “Participant numbers would also be limited, and minors would be excluded.”
A consultation on the pilot study proposal will run through Oct. 25 to take comment from interested parties.
Since 2011, Switzerland has allowed the sale of low potency cannabis, with minimal concentrations of the chemical that makes people high. Sales have taken off in recent years, bringing in tax revenue for the state. But some users say the “marijuana-light” simply isn’t strong enough.
For medical marijuana use, Swiss law requires users to obtain an exemption from the federal health ministry. The government says this makes it difficult for the roughly 3,000 patients who now use the drug to get it.
It asked the Swiss Interior Ministry to come up with a proposal by next summer to streamline the process, and the Health Ministry to examine how to resolve insurance reimbursement issues for treatment with medical marijuana.

Question: Pink on Dr. Luke: 'He's not a good person'

Singer Pink has slammed music producer Dr. Luke, insisting he’s a bad person who has “earned” his terrible reputation.
Dr. Luke has been embroiled in a long legal battle with pop star Kesha after she filed lawsuits against him for sexual and verbal abuse in 2014, and as a result of the litigation, he has since been dropped as CEO of his Kemosabe Records label.
Pink last collaborated with the producer in 2006 on her song I’m Not Dead and she had such a bad time creating the track, she refuses to work with him ever again.
Speaking of Kesha’s allegations of abuse against Dr. Luke, Pink tells The New York Times, “I don’t know what happened. But I know that regardless of whether or not Dr. Luke did that, this is his karma and he earned it because he’s not a good person.”
“I have told him that to his face and I do not work with him,” she adds. “He doesn’t do good business, he’s not a kind person, he doesn’t do the right thing when given ample opportunities to do so, and I don’t really feel that bad for him.”
Pink and Kesha aren’t the only Hollywood stars who have experienced nightmare moments with Dr. Luke - singer Kelly Clarkson has also dissed the music producer in the past.
“He’s just not a good person to me,” Clarkson told The Kyle and Jackie O Show last year. “We’ve clashed... Obviously, he’s a talented dude, but... I’ve run into a couple really bad situations, like, musically... And he’s kind of difficult to work with, kind of demeaning.”
The Since U Been Gone hitmaker also recently revealed she despises the producer so much, she opted out of millions of dollars in royalties by denying a songwriting credit on 2009 number one hit My Life Would Suck Without You, just so her name wouldn’t appear alongside co-writer Dr. Luke’s.

Camila Cabello is giving a little insight into her close relationship with Taylor Swift.
The 21-year-old singer covers the latest issue of Rolling Stone, in which she talks about how she and Swift met. Cabello says the two became friends through mutual pal Hailee Steinfeld, and then Swift ended up reaching out to Cabello while Cabello was going through her first breakup. Cabello is now one of the opening acts for Swift's huge Reputation tour.
"She sent me a breakup playlist and said, ‘Come over. Let's talk about it,'" Cabello dishes about Swift's kind gesture. "I think the Haim girls were there. It was, like, a girls-night thing."
Swift continued to be there for Cabello when Cabello left Fifth Harmony in December 2016 on not-so-great terms. Cabello says the "Delicate" singer gave her advice to "just write it out" when it came to her emotions.
"There were so many songs that didn't make my album that were just me getting it out," Cabello says of her debut solo album, Camila.
Cabello still refers to that turbulent time as a "breakup."
"It was as painful as a breakup, a five-year breakup," Cabello says of parting ways with Fifth Harmony.
"I don't think there was ever a point where I was like, ‘I want to leave because I'm the breakout star,'" she adds. "We were just really young. If we were in the same situation now, it would probably be fine for everyone to make their own music while being in the group, because I think everyone understands now that you can't limit people. That's why people break free."
In March, Cabello slammed rumors that 28-year-old Swift influenced her to leave Fifth Harmony.
"If I don’t want to do something the whole world could be telling me and I won’t do it. And if I do, then the whole world could be telling me to not do it and I’ll do it. I’ve always been that way," she said during her appearance on The Dan Wootton Interview podcast, explaining that she was bothered by fans blaming Swift for her exiting the band. "It annoyed me that people said that she was encouraging me, because I know she probably got a lot of flak for that or a lot of negative criticism for that, and that annoys me because I’m really protective over my friends. To be honest with you, she’s never, ever had anything to do with that."
Cabello also joked that the only thing the two ever talk about is "love and boys."
"We strategize over it," she cracked. "Our friendship is very innocent in that way and it’s so, like, pure and I so fiercely protect my friendships with people in the industry that are like that."
ET recently spoke to Selena Gomez's mom, Mandy Teefey, who also dished on Swift's super-close relationship with the "Hands to Myself" singer. Watch below:
