Question: Jarlin Garcia pitching like an ace for struggling Marlins

Even if he wasn’t the anomaly in the Marlins’ franchise-tying worst start, Jarlin Garcia’s early efforts as a starting pitcher would stand out as something special.
The Dominican left-hander’s 0.53 ERA in three career starts is among the best in baseball. Of pitchers with more than one start this season, only San Francisco’s Johnny Cueto ranks higher with a 0.35 ERA.
Granted, it’s a small sample size, but in his past two outings Garcia has shut down two of the top teams in the majors, the Yankees and Dodgers, both on the road.
Garcia has given up only one run and five hits in 17 innings as a starter, and opponents are batting a meager .093 against him. For comparison, Cueto has given up one run in 26 innings, while allowing an opponents’ average of .149.
That lone run off Garcia came in the fourth inning Monday in Los Angeles when the Dodgers’ Enrique Hernandez hit a leadoff homer. It ended a string of 14 scoreless innings for Garcia.
Hernandez, a former Marlin, summed up why Garcia has been successful, telling reporters in Los Angeles, “He was hitting corners, wasn't throwing over the fat part of the plate. Seemed like all the strikes were on the black. There's a reason he's got that ERA.”
Garcia made a decent pitch to Hernandez on the inner portion of the plate, though perhaps not low enough in the zone. Hernandez dropped the barrel of the bat on the 93-mph fastball and got in front of the pitch enough to drive it 394 feet into the seats in left-center at Dodger Stadium.
It was the only run he allowed in six innings while getting no decision in a Marlins 2-1 loss that was decided by the bullpens.
Garcia, 25, is succeeding apart from the high-velocity trend that has many pitchers pushing triple digits on the radar gun.
Dodgers rookie right-hander Walker Buehler, who shut out the Marlins for five innings in his first big-league start, is in that category with a fastball that topped out a 99.5 mph and averaged 96.8 Monday.
The match-up of novice starters provided a study of contrasts. Garcia’s four-seamer averages 92 mph, a tick below the average in MLB.
His effectiveness is in painting the corners, not only with the fastball but also with his slider and changeup.
While striking out a career high seven against the Dodgers, Garcia got 23 called strikes (15 on fastballs) out of 92 pitches. The 11 swinging strikes were all on sliders and changeups.
Only one of the strikeout pitches came on a fastball – called on the inside corner against Chris Taylor.
Garcia got Yasmani Grandal and Yasiel Puig back-to-back looking at changeups. Puig didn’t like the call, but Statcast and FoxTrax showed it solidly on the inside corner.
Garcia tossed a tantalizing 85-mph slider to dangerous Cody Bellinger that the Dodgers cleanup hitter missed as it broke away from him on the outside edge.
Most of the media attention following the Dodgers’ win was focused on Buehler’s first start. Understandable, considering the Dodgers’ prominence as defending National League champs and the Marlins’ bottom-feeding status.
But Garcia is showing the potential to be the much-sought ace the Marlins haven’t had since Jose Fernandez. Even with his three superlative starts, Miami ranks 14th of 15 teams in the NL with a 5.33 ERA by its starters.
Garcia has been effective in all five appearances this season, including two long-relief outings, for an overall ERA of 1.00.
He held a potent Cubs lineup to one hit in six scoreless innings during the 17-inning game on March 30 and had a four-inning relief outing at Philadelphia, allowing a two-run homer to Maikel Franco.
It is indicative of Marlins hitting ineptitude that Garcia has only one win to his credit, the 9-1 rout at New York. Other than that, he’s gotten no support from an offense that ranks last in runs scored.
Manager Don Mattingly, in his media session prior to Monday’s game, said that while wins remain elusive it is important for his rebuilding club to draw on bright spots that indicate progress toward a better future. No Marlin has provided more chances for that than Garcia.
Perhaps if the offense can muster a few runs in his next start – Sunday against the Rockies at Marlins Park – they might be able to celebrate a rare win amid the gloom of losing.

Lewis Brinson doesn’t profile as a leadoff man. He’s a table cleaner, not a table setter, a run producer whose primary duty has typically been to empty the bases with his bat, not scratch his way aboard by any means necessary.
But given the lack of better alternatives, Marlins manager Don Mattingly is experimenting with Brinson in the top spot. Brinson is scheduled to bat leadoff for the second time this spring on Tuesday.
“It’s just a discussion about the leadoff spot,” Mattingly said. “There’s a number of guys we’ve talked about for that spot. And it may be an evolving spot over the course of the year.”
When he still had Dee Gordon, Mattingly never had to think about whose name he’d pencil in first on his lineup card. But after trading Gordon, the Marlins were left without a true leadoff hitter.

As such, settling on one has been a work in progress.
Mattingly has used six different leadoff hitters over the past six games, and Brinson will make seven.
“I don’t see our club as being a set lineup type thing,” Mattingly said. “It’s not our personnel right now. There will be a few spots in there I think are fairly solid.”
Those would include Justin Bour in the cleanup spot and Starlin Castro in the No. 3 hole.
But leadoff? That’s a different story.
Derek Dietrich has hit there this spring. So have Magneuris Sierra, Braxton Lee, Miguel Rojas, Cameron Maybin, J.B. Shuck and Peter Mooney.
While it’s not his customary role, Brinson has hit leadoff before. In fact, he batted in the leadoff position his first game in the majors after being called up by the Brewers last June.
“Whether I’m hitting ninth, eighth — as long as I’m in the lineup, I don’t care,” Brinson said. “Whatever lineup [Mattingly] runs out there, hopefully I’m in there.”

Mattingly likes the idea of having home run pop at the top, something Gordon and a host of former Marlins leadoff men — Juan Pierre, Luis Castillo, and others — didn’t possess.
But reaching base still remains the primary objective of any leadoff hitter.
“Being on base, making things happen on base, that’s the big thing,” Brinson said. “[The Brewers] kind of expressed to me when I as over there, wherever you hit be the same game. Don’t try to be a scrappy little leadoff hitter. I’m not that guy. Being a leadoff guy, I just try to be the same guy.”
Brinson wouldn’t be the first Marlins player to start off on top before dropping down later into a run-producing spot. Hanley Ramirez won Rookie of the Year honors in 2006 as the Marlins’ leadoff man and ended up spending three years atop the lineup card.
Christian Yelich, who was dealt to Milwaukee in the Brinson trade, was their leadoff hitter in 2014.

Starting rotation
As unclear as the leadoff spot is for the Marlins, the starting rotation is even more muddled.
Only José Ureña and Dan Straily have locked up rotation spots.
But one candidate who could work his way into the picture — either by Opening Day or shortly thereafter — is right-hander, Elieser Hernandez, one of the Marlins’ two Rule 5 draft picks in December.
“He’s been pretty impressive in camp,” Mattingly said of Hernandez, who has never pitched above the High A level.
The problem for Hernandez is that he’s missed the past eight days after having his wisdom teeth removed. As a result, he might not be ready for the start of the season.
But Mattingly said Hernandez should pitch again soon.
“It’s must a matter of getting him back out there for the final part [of spring training],” Mattingly said.

Question: Heigl wanted to quit Hollywood over rumours

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

Katherine Heigl considered quitting Hollywood after rumours of her difficult reputation began.
The actress hit headlines after starring in 2007 comedy Knocked Up, where she played successful E! News presenter Alison who has her world turned upside down when she falls pregnant after a one-night stand with Seth Rogen’s stoner character Ben.
Katherine later upset Seth and the film’s director Judd Apatow when she called the comedy film “a little sexist”, telling Vanity Fair back in 2008: “Ninety-eight per cent of the time it was an amazing experience, but it was hard for me to love the movie.”
Katherine also faced a backlash for declining to submit any of her work from U.S. TV medial drama Grey’s Anatomy episodes for Emmy consideration in 2008, releasing a statement criticising the material she had been given. “I did not feel that I was given the material this season to warrant an Emmy nomination,” she said in the statement.
Despite later apologizing for her gaffes, Katherine struggled to come to terms with the criticism and has revealed in a new interview that she even considered quitting acting.
“Maybe everybody in their career feels that way, especially when you’ve been at it for a really long time,” the 38-year-old told the Press Association. “You have these ups and downs and these ebbs and flows.
“This thing you were once so passionate about and was your heart and soul has now turned on you and it’s your mortal enemy instead of your best friend. I think that’s pretty typical of most people.”
The mother-of-three added she often overanalysed her previous interviews to see how she could have been misconstrued as being difficult. “Nobody wants to hear things like that about themselves,” she said. “One thing I think I’m relatively good at is asking myself and truly addressing; ‘Is there an issue here?’
“You have to be accountable for your behaviour. Now maybe I go a little too far in beating myself up, or self evaluation, or not trusting my own instincts.”
Katherine has since buried the hatchet with her Knocked Up co-star Seth and director Judd, and even considered working with them again on a sequel to the hit comedy.
“Wouldn’t that be fun? What do you think that looks like? (Ben and Alison) 10 years later. Do they have more children? Have they made it? Are they still together?” Katherine said.
“Maybe they’re getting separated. That would be depressing though. I wouldn’t want to see that one.”

West Indies In Trouble
A record-equalling 17th century by Ross Taylor had New Zealand closing in on a series sweep against the West Indies after day three of the second Test in Hamilton on Monday.
The West Indies, set a world-record target of 444 to win, were in trouble at 30 for two by stumps with two full days of play remaining.
It was New Zealand's day as they shut down the West Indies for 221 to lead by 152 on the first innings. New Zealand declared their second innings at 291 for eight, with Taylor 107 not out, and then took two top-order wickets by stumps.
Taylor joined the late Martin Crowe and current captain Kane Williamson on 17 Test centuries.The 33-year-old, who offered two chances in an otherwise majestic innings, reached the milestone driving Raymon Reifer to the boundary for only the 11th four in his 198 ball innings.Williamson was earlier out for 54 as he looked to lead New Zealand to a series sweep following the innings victory in the first Test.
The current record for a victorious fourth innings chase is 418, achieved 14 years ago when the West Indies reached the target against Australia for the loss of seven wickets.

Question: You can take a day to write, see play in Thornhill, Richmond Hill

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Playwright Laura Katherine Hayes always had a complicated relationship with fitness classes.
“I grew up a dancer, and developed a lot of insecurities in the need to feel perfect, elegant and graceful. At 10 years old, I was none of these things. The older I became, the more it was clear I was not alone in this. Fitness culture, while often fantastic, positive and motivating, can also feel isolating, exclusive and unwelcoming to people who do not meet the highest standards of beauty,” she said.
So Hayes created a 45-minute play called Sweaty & Soulful, a look at the world of fitness and self-worth.
It is just one of the offerings of April 28’s Shadowpath Day — planned activities including writing workshops, interviews and a preview of Sweaty & Soulful. Shadowpath is a not-for-profit charitable organization, shadowing playwrights by remounting their plays and building new artistic paths.
Sweaty & Soulful discusses how silly exercise often can be. The cast all met in the beginning of April and took a fitness class together. They then wrote down all of the thoughts they could remember while going through that experience. Many of those thoughts are in this script.
Also on the agenda: The FemmeOperative — an interview series with two performing artists talking about how they "made it."
Look out for three “wellness interludes” between the two presentations: a sound healing circle, a chakra talk and a guided meditation.
Other features of the day include: A writing workshop in the woods titled Into The Woods We Write in Richmond Hill plus two productions in Thornhill: The FemmeOperative and Sweaty & Soulful.
The Ontario Trillium Foundation gave Alex Karolyi a grant to train other women as artistic leaders/directors/producers/creators over three years and part of that initiative inspired her to create The FemmeOperative featuring female leaders in artistic industries. Two female creative leaders will be interviewed to share their artistic success story.
“There’s a gap that exists between the genders in leadership roles when it comes to the theatre scene,” Karolyi said.

Question: Company Briefs: The Straits Trading Company

The Straits Trading Company
Net profit at the Straits Trading Company climbed by 28.7 per cent to $8.5 million in the second quarter, the group said yesterday .
The growth came in spite of a 27.2 per cent drop in revenue to $101.6 million in the three months to June 30, on the back of lower tin production and the absence of rental income from an Australian office property sold in November last year. Still, earnings were boosted by a higher share of results from associates and joint ventures, which reported a loss last year.
Earnings per share grew to 2.1 cents, from 1.6 cents previously while net asset value was $3.43 a share, against $3.34 as at Dec 31.
Net profit rose 4.4 per cent to $30.4 million for the half-year against a 16.1 per cent decline in revenue to $235 million.
Yanlord Land Group
Yanlord Land Group's net profit surged by 42.8 per cent to 462.5 million yuan (S$94.4 million) in the second quarter, in spite of a 42.2 per cent fall in revenue to 4.3 billion yuan.
The China-based property developer yesterday fingered a lower gross floor area delivered to customers, in line with its delivery schedule, as being behind the turnover decline.
It attributed its improved profit to a larger share of projects with higher profit margins, as well as a revenue increase from car park sales against the same period a year ago.
Earnings per share for the quarter were 23.88 fen, up from 16.62 fen the previous year, while net asset value was 10.66 yuan against 10.84 yuan as at Dec 31 last year. Revenue for the half-year rose by 3.3 per cent to 10.6 billion yuan and net profit more than doubled to 1.4 billion yuan.
The Hour Glass
The luxury watch retailer yesterday reported that net profit fell by 15 per cent to about $7 million in the first quarter. Improved consumer sentiment lifted revenue by 11 per cent for the three months to June 30, to $164.4 million, but turnover was hit by higher operating costs on the back of a one-off $1.5 million relocation expense.
Earnings per share dropped to 0.99 cent, from 1.16 cents last year while net asset value was 69 cents a share, against 68 cents as at March 31 this year.
The company said the global watch sector continues to remain challenging, but it expects to be profitable for the full year.

Question: Kluber pitches Indians past White Sox 9-1

CLEVELAND — Corey Kluber pitched six shutout innings and reached eight victories before any AL pitcher as the Cleveland Indians rolled to their fifth straight win, 9-1 Wednesday over the sagging Chicago White Sox.
Spotted a nine-run cushion after four innings, Kluber (8-2) had little trouble with baseball's worst team.
The defending AL Cy Young Award winner allowed three hits, struck out 10 and improved to 4-0 with a 0.33 ERA in four starts against Central Division teams this season.
Melky Cabrera drove in three runs off Reynaldo Lopez (1-4) and Michael Brantley extended his MLB-high hitting streak to 19 games for Cleveland, which used the series to gain some confidence and momentum. The Indians have scored 43 runs during their win streak.

Giancarlo Stanton homered again, tying the Miami Marlins' season record, and he became the sixth fastest player to reach 250 career homers.
With one swing of the bat in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Colorado Rockies, Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton made history in a couple of ways.
Stanton's third-inning home run off Rockies starter German Márquez was his 42nd of the season, tying Gary Sheffield for the Marlins' single-season record, set in 1996.
Even more impressive, it was career home run number 250. Only Ryan Howard, Ralph Kiner, Harmon Killebrew, Albert Pujols and Juan Gonzalez reached the milestone faster than Stanton, 27.
"It's been fun," Stanton told reporters after the game. "It's been a fun challenge every night for me.
"There's sometimes where if [a pitcher] throws his pitch, it's going to get demolished. Can't explain it. As long as I get extension and lift on the ball, it's going to go."
Thanks to Stanton, the Marlins completed a three-game sweep of Colorado at Marlins Park. He homered in all three games.
SUNDAY'S RESULTS
Washington Nationals 2-4 San Francisco Giants
Washington Nationals 6-2 San Francisco Giants
Detroit Tigers 4-6 Minnesota Twins
Miami Marlins 5-3 Colorado Rockies
Milwaukee Brewers 7-4 Cincinnati Reds
St Louis Cardinals 3-6 Atlanta Braves
Oakland Athletics 9-3 Baltimore Orioles
Arizona Diamondbacks 2-7 Chicago Cubs
Toronto Blue Jays 7-1 Pittsburgh Pirates
Tampa Bay Rays 3-4 Cleveland Indians
Philadelphia Phillies 2-6 New York Mets
Chicago White Sox 6-14 Kansas City Royals
Texas Rangers 1-2 Houston Astros
Los Angeles Dodgers 6-4 San Diego Padres
Seattle Mariners 2-4 Los Angeles Angels
New York Yankees 2-3 Boston Red Sox
SALE SINKS YANKEES
In a key matchup with the rival Yankees, Red Sox lefty Chris Sale performed brilliantly, striking out 12 and yielding only four hits and one earned run in seven innings of work.
Royals second baseman Whit Merrifield homered, tripled and drove in five runs in Kansas City's win. He went three-for-six at the plate.
PARKER IN GAME TO FORGET
Giants outfielder Jarrett Parker struck out six times and went 0-for-nine against the Nationals in a doubleheader. He stranded five runners in the opener.
GORDON DENIES DELMONICO
Nicky Delmonico was probably thinking "home run," but Royals centrefielder Alex Gordon was thinking, "this is the final out."
BRAVES AT ROCKIES
On Monday, Rockies pitcher Chad Bettis will make his first MLB start since being diagnosed with testicular cancer last November. The 28-year-old right-hander underwent surgery and later chemotherapy in his treatment. He was 14-8 with a 4.79 ERA last season. Bettis will face Julio Teheran (7-1, 5.25 ERA)

Generous donors have created a Christmas miracle for cerebral palsy sufferer Alice Bates by raising more than £6,000 in six days so she can have a special bath to ease her pain.
On Wednesday we published Alice’s appeal on www.spaldingtoday.co.uk and on our Facebook page, and once again in Thursday’s Spalding Guardian.
Within hours massive donations, including one of £2,000, started to roll in along with a host of smaller amounts from readers moved by Alice’s story.
Yesterday Alice’s Gofundme page stood at a massive £5,851 with the promise of £1,200 to come from Spalding Round Table.
Alice’s delighted mum, Charlotte, is already calling in the plumbers to put the necessary pipe work in a bedroom at the family’s Long Sutton home and it is hoped the bath will be installed by January.
“It’s incredible,” said Charlotte. “Alice will be getting her bath. We’re feeling overwhelmed at the moment at how quickly it has happened and we can’t thank people enough.”
The family broke the good news to Alice at the weekend.
“She was absolutely overjoyed,” said Charlotte. “She was so excited that she and her chair were shaking.”
Most people know Alice for her beautiful smile but her family see another face, one disfigured by pain, and this has become unbearable for them to watch.
Alice’s physiotherapist and orthopaedic surgeon recommended a bath to ease Alice’s muscle spasms but she needs a special one, with fast-draining water and sides that drop down, so she isn’t at risk when in the grip of an epileptic seizure
When the appeal was launched, Charlotte described how the family grieve as they watch Alice’s face “contort in agony”.
We revealed in last week’s story that Charlotte has suffered a dislocated disc in her upper spine as a result of tending to Alice’s needs.
The mum of six is in so much pain she’s now having to use a wheelchair to go outside.
Charlotte hopes surgery can cure the problem and will find out when she goes to a hospital appointment at Addenbrooke’s later this month.
Alice celebrated her 10th birthday in February and we joined her family and the wider community in trying to make 10 of the cerebral palsy sufferer’s dearest wishes come true by launching the Lincolnshire Free Press Ten for 10 Appeal.
Among those wishes were to have a therapy play lodge, to do her essential daily physio exercises, which was funded by generous Lincolnshire Free Press readers and others, and a trip to Disneyland Paris, funded through Tesco at Holbeach.
Recently Alice has achieved another two of her 10 wishes, sitting in the seat of a fast racing car, and visiting CBeebies Land with her dad, Andy, and eldest sister Abigail.
Abigail is giving up her bedroom so it can become Alice’s bathroom.
Alice has already promised her younger brother, Henry (9), that he can enjoy a dip when she’s not using the bath.

Question: Texas 'bathroom' bills stalled in special legislative session

By Jon Herskovitz
AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Texas measures to restrict access for transgender people to bathrooms in schools and public buildings appear doomed this week after hundreds of businesses stood in opposition and moderate Republican powerbrokers blocked the bills.
The so-called bathroom bills have caused rifts among Republicans who control the state's legislature, leaving no likely path to passage before a 30-day special session wraps on Wednesday, analysts and lawmakers said.
"The bathroom bill in this session is dead and buried with dirt over its coffin," said Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University in Houston.
Enactment in Texas, the most populous Republican-dominated state, could give momentum to other socially conservative states for additional action on an issue that has become a flashpoint in the U.S. culture wars.
But House Speaker Joe Straus, a pro-business Republican who controls the agenda in the body, has shown little interest in passing a bathroom bill, which he said was not a priority.
His position was buffeted by a well-financed campaign from major corporations including Texas-based energy companies Halliburton and ExxonMobil Global Services , which have said the bills were discriminatory and would make it hard for them to recruit top talent.
Supporters of the legislation, who say it can help protect women and children from sexual assaults, have not given up.
But they acknowledge there is only a slim chance of success, with lawmakers still trying to reach deals on almost all of the 20 priority items set by Republican Governor Greg Abbott for the session.
Senate Bill 3, which made it through the Senate and stalled in the House, requires people to use restrooms, showers and locker rooms in public schools and other state and local government facilities that match the sex on their birth certificate, as opposed to their gender identity.
A push for bathroom bills nationally sputtered after North Carolina partially repealed such a measure in March after boycotts by athletic organizations and businesses that have cost the state hundreds of millions of dollars.
Opposition against the Texas measures includes global tech giants IBM and Apple , major Texas city police chiefs who contested claims the bills would protect public safety, left-leaning religious leaders and the National Hockey League's Dallas Stars team.
Republican Representative Ron Simmons, who sponsored a version of the bathroom legislation in the Texas House, said the privacy issue at the heart of the bills is supported by a wide majority of Republican primary voters.
"Just because we don’t pass legislation doesn’t mean that the issue is not going to be there," he said.

AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas House all but buried school vouchers. Could the Senate do the same with the school finance fix?
After the Senate approved a sweeping bill offering taxpayer funds to private and religious schools, the House overwhelmingly passed language in its version of the state budget forbidding the practice — likely killing state-subsidized “school choice.”
On Wednesday, the House is scheduled to approve a $1.6 billion bill altering how Texas pays for its public schools. It raises per-student funding by about $200 to $5,350 a year and increases money for educating students with dyslexia while tweaking the current “Robin Hood” system under which school districts in wealthy parts of Texas share property tax revenue with those in poorer areas.
The bill’s sponsor, Houston Republican Rep. Dan Huberty, says it’s not a full school finance overhaul but will lay the groundwork for larger changes that must be made in coming years. Huberty heads the House Public Education Committee and said even before the budget vote against vouchers that he considered state subsidized school choice a non-starter.
But if his bill clears his own chamber it will go to Republican Sen. Larry Taylor of Friendswood, who heads the Senate Education Committee. Taylor worked long and hard shepherding the school choice bill through the Senate and expressed disappointment that the House scuttled the issue without even considering his bill.
Taylor hasn’t said if he’ll ensure that Huberty’s school finance bill never makes it out of his committee. Asked about such differing classroom priorities between the two chambers, meanwhile, Huberty said he can’t control what happens in the Senate but hoped his proposal will advance because Texas’ outdated school finance system so badly needs improving.
Since the Texas Supreme Court ruled last summer that while deeply flawed, the school finance system is minimally constitutional, though, no legislative fix is required.
So, the major bill the House will spend hours passing this week could be all for naught — just like the Senate’s voucher bill before it.
Here are two other top issues to watch this week in the Texas Legislature:
___
HOUSE ‘BATHROOM BILL’
A key House committee is set to hear Wednesday a bill prohibiting local governments from enacting anti-LGBT discrimination ordinances while voiding any already approved around Texas.
The proposal by Carrollton Republican Rep. Ron Simmons is the House’s de facto version of the “bathroom bill,” which sailed through the Senate despite a similar law in North Carolina last year causing national uproar, widespread boycotts and, eventually, a drastic rollback of what that state approved.
Unlike the Senate bill, Simmons’ proposal doesn’t require transgender Texans to use public bathrooms corresponding to the gender on their birth certificates. It could, however, potentially have an even greater impact by prohibiting cities, counties and school districts from making policy designed to better accommodate transgender people.
If the House advances its own ‘bathroom bill,’ that will likely further hinder passage of the measure approved by the Senate. And the Senate version already looked like a longshot to survive given strong opposition by business groups and Republican House Speaker Joe Straus, as well as Republican Gov. Greg Abbott’s failure to publicly endorse it.
___
ARMING FIRST RESPONDERS
Eligible for a floor vote starting when the Senate returns to work on Tuesday is a bill allowing paramedics and other first-responders — even volunteer firefighters — to carry concealed handguns on duty.
Sen. Don Huffines’ bill has been listed on the “local and consent” calendar, making it eligible for passage with minimal debate. No additional training is required for emergency personnel already licensed to carry concealed handguns.
Huffines, a Dallas Republican, has argued that the “risk of assault for EMS workers is roughly 30 times higher when compared to the average occupational risks in the United States,” while citing first responders being summoned to a sniper attack in downtown Dallas that killed five police officers last summer.
A similar bill filed in the House has cleared committee but not yet been scheduled for a floor vote there.

Question: Parents of transgender students appeal to Trump on bathrooms

Hundreds of parents across the country have called on President Donald Trump to embrace Obama-era protections for transgender students that call for letting them use school bathrooms in accordance with their gender identity.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Hundreds of parents across the country have called on President Donald Trump to embrace Obama-era protections for transgender students that call for letting them use school bathrooms in accordance with their gender identity.
In a letter sent to the president by the Human Rights Campaign late Tuesday, more than 780 parents stressed that "all students deserve equal access to a safe, welcoming school and a high quality education no matter who they are."
The call follows a decision by the Trump administration last week to abandon a defense of the guidelines issued by the Obama administration. A court issued an injunction against those guidelines last summer in response to a lawsuit filed by 13 states. President Barack Obama appealed the injunction, but the Trump administration decided to back off from the appeal.
Parents of transgender students say that revoking the right of students to use school bathrooms according to their gender identity amounts to discrimination and it creates a hostile learning environment for transgender students. "These policies are wrong, they hurt our children, and they violate the principle of equal education," the letter said.
Conservative activists firmly oppose the idea, saying it endangers the privacy and safety of other students.
Newly confirmed Education Secretary Betsy DeVos has not voiced a position on the bathrooms controversy other than to say that she is against discrimination and will support all students.
During the election campaign Trump said that transgender students can use the bathroom they like.

Question: Man United beats 10-man West Ham for 6th successive win

LONDON (AP) " Manchester United benefited from a controversial red card and an equally debatable goal to beat 10-man West Ham 2-0 in the English Premier League on Monday, earning a sixth successive victory.
Substitute Juan Mata gave United the lead before Zlatan Ibrahimovic secured victory from what clearly appeared to be an offside position, after referee Mike Dean had controversially dismissed Sofiane Feghouli in the opening stages.
Despite its numerical advantage, United struggled to break down the home side for long spells and required a number of saves from goalkeeper David de Gea to keep West Ham out.
"I think it was not a very good performance," United manager Jose Mourinho said. "I think it's very difficult to play football in these circumstances, 48 hours," after both teams' previous fixtures.
"Only when I brought fresh people on, Mata and (Marcus) Rashford, the team was different," Mourinho added. "We gave width with Rashford, we gave an extra body in the creative area with Mata."
West Ham manager Slaven Bilic said his club would appeal against the three-game ban Feghouli is facing after his challenge on Phil Jones.
"I was very surprised (at the red card), I wouldn't have been happy with a yellow. The more times I've seen it, it's the other way round, it was Jones who made a more dangerous tackle than Feghouli," Bilic said.
"We are gutted and frustrated, but I'm very proud of the team and I told them after the game that if we continue to work hard and play for each other, we don't have to worry, we're going to be very high on the table."
Feghouli, making his first Premier League start for West Ham, was sent off after just 15 minutes in what replays suggested was a harsh decision.
Manuel Lanzini brought two strong saves from De Gea before the break, while Michail Antonio was crucially denied by the Spanish goalkeeper when through one-on-one on the hour mark.

West Ham was made to pay just three minutes later with Mourinho's alterations proving crucial as Rashford beat two defenders before setting up Mata to finish from close range.
United wrapped up the victory 12 minutes from time when Ibrahimovic reacted first as the ball bounced off Ander Herrera to fire low and hard past Darren Randolph from just inside the box, with replays showing the striker had been marginally offside.
United had struggled to create chances before the break, but did draw one of the saves of the season from West Ham keeper, Randolph, in the 35th, before Jesse Lingard produced an equally spectacular miss.
Antonio Valencia was set up at the back post after good work from Ibrahmovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, but was foiled by the sprawling Randolph, who prevented the ball from crossing his line by the narrowest of margins.
The rebound fell to Lingard with the goal at his mercy, but he could only direct his effort onto the post from two yards out, with West Ham somehow escaping as the ball bounced into Randolph's hands.
United remains sixth in the table, but has now moved within five points of second-place Liverpool, which was held to a 2-2 draw at Sunderland earlier on Monday.
West Ham dropped to 13th.

Question: National Assembly urged to fast track disability bill for assent

- Advertisement -
The Centre for Citizens with Disability (CCD), a Non-Govrnmental Organisation (NGO), on Monday urged the National Assembly to facilitate the transmission of Disability Bill to President Muhammadu Buhari for assent.
Director of the Centre, Mr David Anyaele, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that assenting to the Bill would guarantee full integration of people-living-with-disabilities into the society.
He expressed worry over delay by the assembly to transmit the bill to the President after it was passed in 2016, and said that the agony of the people-living-with-disabilities would continue if the bill was not assented to.
The bill is titled “A Bill for an Act to ensure Full Integration of Persons with Disabilities into the Society and to Establish a National Commission for Persons with Disability’’.
Anyaele claimed that the harmonized Disability Bill was missing in the National Assembly and that efforts to locate it had failed.
“The bill was domiciled at the National Assembly for years with former Presidents Olusegun Obasanjo and Goodluck Jonathan withholding assent after the Senate and House passed and harmonised it for presidential approval.
“On June 9, 2016, the bill for an Act to ensure full integration of Nigerians with disabilities into the society and eliminate all forms of discrimination against them 2016–HB476, was passed by the House of Representatives.
“The Senate on July 13, 2016 passed its version entitled, “A bill for an Act to ensure full integration of persons with disabilities into the society and to ensure a national commission for persons with disabilities – SB022.
- Advertisement -
“The commission will be vested with the responsibility of education, healthcare and protection of their social economic and civic right.
“After the passage of the two bills on Nov. 22, 2016, a joint conference committee for the harmonisation of the bill led by Sen. Obinna Ogba and Rep. Oker-Jev Emmanuel was inaugurated.
“One year after the bills were adopted and harmonised, the bill is yet to be transmitted to the president for assent.
“As I speak to you, it is missing and no one can tell where the disability bill that was harmonised and adopted one year ago is.
“Therefore it becomes imperative to call on National Assembly to locate where the bill is and transmit it to the president for assent,’’ Anyaele said.
According to him, because section 42 of the 1999 Constitution is silent on the issue of disability, traditional beliefs and practices continue to stigmatise those living with disability.
“These practices are frustrating people with disability to participate in equal bases with other members of the society.
“More than 25 million Nigerians are living with one form of disability or the other with more than 80 per cent of them living in rural areas with limited access to social infrastructure.
“People with disabilities are not accessible to access to education.
“Out of 36 states in the federation, only eight states have disability bills thereby making Nigeria a difficult terrain to dwell with disability.
“People with disability have been clamouring for protection from harmful practices, discrimination and all forms of abuses,’’ Anyaele added.

Senate President, Bukola Saraki, has revealed that the Senate has started the process of amending the Constitution to allow for the creation of state and community Police.
Saraki made the revelation via his verified Twitter handle, while details were provided on the Medium page of the Senate President.
He also listed the key actions the Nigerian Senate is currently focusing: “Constitutional amendment for State and community police, passage of police reform Bill, confirmation of new police service commission members, consideration of security summit report, constitutional review as it relates to role of national security agencies coordination.”

Question: Hundreds of women to sue NHS over "barbaric" vaginal mesh implants which cut through them like 'cheese wire'

Get daily updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing! Could not subscribe, try again later Invalid Email
Hundreds of woman are planning on suing the NHS after vaginal mesh implants have made their lives a misery.
The mesh is fitted to treat pelvic organ prolapse post-childbirth and is aimed at improving a woman's bladder control.
But hundreds of woman have been left in crippling agony after the mesh wires have cut right through the walls of their vagina.
Made from polypropylene, the same material as a plastic drinks bottle, the women have reported the mesh slowly making its way to the outside of the vagina wall - cutting through them "like cheese wire".
One woman described it as "barbaric" and many have reportedly been left unable to walk or enjoy sex.

Kate Langley, was forced to stop working as a childminder when the pain became unbearable, according to the Victoria Derbyshire programme.
Speaking about a surgeon's examination of her fitted mesh wire, she said he "could see the tape had come through my vagina - protruding through.
"The mesh had cut its way through - like a cheese wire."
Kate had 53 hospital admissions in a desperate attempt to end the "barbaric" pain.
But her mesh implant is too close to a nerve to be fully removed.
Other woman have said their partners had even been injured by the protruding mesh while having sex.
One woman's pain became so severe, she was driven to thoughts of suicide when doctors told her she was imagining the pain.
Claire Cooper was told the source of her pain was her womb, before doctors eventually said her symptoms were in her head.
Forced to live with the excruciating pain, Claire "mapped out" how she would take her own life.
Her mesh implant has also affected her marriage, and claimed her husband was forced to become her carer.
Claire said: "We haven't had sex for four-and-a-half years. This stuff breaks up marriages.
"I wouldn't be at all surprised if there are mesh injured women that have taken their own lives and didn't know what the problem was.
"I want the procedure banned. I want the material banned."
Consultant urogynaecologist Dr Sohier Elneil said she sees patients in the UK who have been left facing severe pain and unable to walk.
"The typical type of patient I see is a patient who is incapacitated by severe pain of a chronic nature. Often they are on high-dose medication, including opiates.
"They become so incapacitated that many of them are either walking by crutches or sitting in wheelchairs and perhaps more dramatically so, they become unable to look after their families."
(Photo: Harley Street Clinic)
Currently in the UK, there are around 100 types of vaginal mesh implants.
The UK regulatory body MHRA said it "sympathises" with the women affected.
MHRA say for the majority of women, the use of vaginal mesh implants is safe and effective.
An MHRA spokesman said it was "committed to help address the serious concerns raised by some patients".
It added: "The greater proportion of the clinical community and patients support the use of these devices in the UK."
Ethicon said "these devices have helped millions of women".
(Photo: Nuffield Department of primary care health sciences)
It said it had "acted appropriately and responsibly in the research, development and marketing of its pelvic mesh products".
According to one expert, Professor Carl Heneghan, manufacturers have to provide little evidence before their product is clinically approved and made available on the NHS.
"The regulatory body... doesn't even look at the device," he explained.

Chris Maloney is in hospital with a suspected deep vein thrombosis (Picture: PA)
Christopher Maloney has been taken to hospital with a ‘suspected deep vein thrombosis’.

The X Factor star had recently undergone cosmetic surgery abroad, getting an eye lift, a nose job and hair transplant, The Mirror say.
Chris, who was an X Factor finalist in 2012, reportedly returned to the UK and woke up with no feeling in one of his legs.
His spokesperson confirmed that Chris has been hospitalised and is having treatment.
They said: ‘We can confirm that Chris was rushed to hospital yesterday with a suspected Deep Vein Thrombosis – he has been treated and is currently under going further treatment.’
Maloney has been in Poland with his close friend Danniella Westbrook, who has also been having surgery.

He recently shared a video on Instagram of the two of them relaxing in bed together and sharing snacks after their procedures.
A post shared by ChrisMaloneyOfficial (@chrismaloneyofficial1) on Jun 9, 2017 at 5:05am PDT
In the video Danniella says Chris has had ‘his frickin’ eyelids done and a new hooter’.
Chris has previously admitted to spending £60,000 on cosmetic surgery.
He has apparently had three hair transplants, two nose jobs, and eyelid lift and teeth veneers in the space of two years.
What is Deep Vein Thrombosis? Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a blood clot which forms in a deep vein in the body, usually a leg vein which is larger and runs through the calf and thigh muscles. It can cause pain and swelling and can lead to a pulmonary embolism, when a part of the blood clot breaks off and blocks one of the blood vessels in the lungs.
He told the Sunday Mirror that he decided to go under the knife after being targeted by trolls on Twitter.
With scampy A post shared by ChrisMaloneyOfficial (@chrismaloneyofficial1) on May 31, 2016 at 10:13am PDT
Meanwhile Danniella spoke out against cosmetic surgery after revealing that her face was left ‘crumbling’ after a string of procedures.
The former EastEnders star said her nightmare began after she had dental implants to replace the denture she has worn since losing her back teeth in a car accident in 1998.
The screws put into her jawbone became infected and began ‘eating away’ at her jaw and cheekbones.
In an interview with The Sun she said: ‘If your body has the wrong reaction to surgery, you’re screwed.
‘I am never going to look the same ever again. People don’t realise surgery isn’t worth it. So what if you’re not perfect.’
Chris’s rep has been contacted for further comment.

Question: Alberta announces more detox beds, expanded treatment options for opioid addicts

CALGARY — The Alberta government says it is opening more detox beds and adding new treatment programs to help people addicted to opioids such as fentanyl.
Associate Minister of Health Brandy Payne says the expansion means more than 2,000 additional people will have access to treatment options.
The province is also expanding paramedic and mobile outreach teams in Edmonton and Calgary to help link people at risk of opioid overdoses to the help they need.
Speaking in Calgary, Payne said eight new detox beds are to be opened in the city and an additional $2.2 million is being provided for medically assisted addiction treatment.
She says the Edmonton region is receiving an additional $2.4 million to enhance treatment services.
Government numbers show 241 deaths from apparent fentanyl drug overdoses in Alberta to the end of June compared with 584 deaths for all of 2016.
The expanded services are to be available by the end of this month.
“Our government is doing everything we can to combat the opioid crisis in Alberta,” Payne said in a statement. “This expansion will eliminate most wait times and improve access through specialty clinics, detox facilities and front-line care teams.”

Shortly after the tweets, he issued a full statement that also took issue with plans to open three safe injection sites within the city.
“This will have a negative impact on the surrounding community’s residents,” Mammoliti said.
“There will be dangerous consequences in allowing and furthering drug use like thefts, assaults, break-ins, trafficking, money laundering, drug trafficking and prostitution.”

“We don’t provide free internet for those who want to hack secure servers,” he said. “We don’t offer masks to bank robbers or switch blades to violent offenders.”

Mammoliti’s statement comes as the city rushes to establish temporary safe injection sites ahead of three proposed permanent facilities.

BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Celtics say forward Gordon Hayward had surgery to remove a plate and screws in his broken left leg and will be ready to start next season.
Hayward missed almost the entire season after breaking his leg in the first quarter of the season opener. The Celtics went on to reach Game 7 of the Eastern Conference finals before losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers.
The team says his leg and ankle are sound, but the plate and screws that were implanted to help the injury heal were irritating his tendons. He is scheduled to resume basketball activities in six to eight weeks and be ready for training camp.
Also Wednesday: the Celtics said center Aron Baynes had successful surgery to repair a nasal fracture he sustained during Game 6 of the Cleveland series. He is expected to be back on the court in two to four weeks.

Question: Shell to sell its downstream business in Argentina to Raízen for $95B

Shell has signed an agreement to sell its downstream business in Argentina to Raízen for $0.95 billion in cash proceeds at completion, subject to customary closing conditions. The sale includes the Buenos Aires Refinery, around 645 retail stations, liquefied petroleum gas, marine fuels, aviation fuels, bitumen, chemicals and lubricants businesses, as well as supply and distribution activities in the country. Additionally, after the transaction closes, the businesses acquired by Raízen will continue their relationships with Shell through various commercial agreements, which represent an estimated value of US$0.3 billion.
Raízen, a joint venture set up in 2011 between Shell and Cosan, is a leading biofuels producer and fuels distributor in Brazil, where it already manages more than 6,000 Shell service stations.
“We plan to continue thriving in Argentina’s downstream market through Raízen,” John Abbott, Shell Downstream Director, said. “Raízen has already delivered significant value for us in Brazil and we will remain an important fuel supplier to Argentina under this deal.”
Shell has been in Argentina for more than 100 years. The Shell brand will remain prominent through a licensing agreement with Raízen. Customers in Argentina will continue to enjoy access to high-quality, Shell-branded products and services.The agreement is consistent with Shell’s strategy to simplify its portfolio through a US$30 billion divestment program, and follows a strategic review of Shell’s Downstream business in Argentina that began in August 2016.
The agreement with Raízen is the result of a competitive bidding process and the sale is expected to complete later this year. It offers the opportunity to consolidate a regional partnership between Shell and Cosan.The sale does not include Shell’s Upstream interests in the Vaca Muerta shale formation. Shell sees substantial long-term growth potential in Argentina’s shale resources.

SPRINGFIELD – The cause is up for debate but the numbers tell the story at the Illinois State Museum – attendance is down.
After being shuttered for nine months the museum reopened with an admission fee of $5 for most adults, but figures show that tens of thousands fewer people are showing up.
The Illinois Department of Natural Resources says that since a July reopening more than 13,000 people have been in the building but that pales in comparison to the more than 61,000 during the same time in 2014.
Not everyone has to pay to get in. Anyone under 19, a military veteran, senior citizens and museum members don’t pay the admission fee.

Question: Dennis Edwards, Temptations singer, dies at 74

Temptations singer Dennis Edwards would have turned 75 today. Temptations singer Dennis Edwards would have turned 75 today.
Dennis Edwards, a Grammy-winning former member of the famed Motown group The Temptations, has died. He was 74.
Edwards died Thursday in Chicago after a long illness, said Rosiland Triche Roberts, his longtime booking agent.
Edwards replaced founding member David Ruffin in 1968, and his soulful, passionate voice defined the group for years. A member on and off for about two decades, he was part of the lineup that released hits “Ball of Confusion (That’s What The World Is Today),” ”Cloud Nine” and the chart-topping “Papa Was A Rollin’ Stone.”
He possessed a “voice for the ages,” with great range, energy and artistry, Paul Riser, a Motown arranger and musician who worked with Edwards during the label’s Detroit heyday and on subsequent projects, told The Associated Press. “That voice was just flat-out outstanding — very well-defined.”
Edwards was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame with the rest of The Temptations in 1989.
In the 1990s, a federal judge barred him from performing under his former band’s name. Otis Williams, the band’s lone original member, sued Edwards for trademark infringement after he had used variations that included The New Temptations. He was allowed to use The Temptations Review featuring Dennis Edwards, and performed under that name for nearly two decades, according to Roberts.
“He is now at peace, and our love and prayers go out to his family,” Williams said in a statement Friday. “At this moment and always, we acknowledge his extraordinary contribution to The Temptations legacy, which lives on in the music.”
Motown star Smokey Robinson said in a statement that he was saddened “that another Motown soldier is gone.” “Rest in Peace my brother,” he said.
Born in Birmingham, Alabama, Edwards lived near St. Louis with his wife, Brenda. He would have turned 75 today.

Question: North Korea defends military parade before Olympics

SEOUL: North Korea on Saturday (Feb 3) defended its plan to stage a military parade the day before the opening of the Winter Olympics in the South.
Pyongyang plans to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the founding of its military on Feb 8.
The annual parade was held on Apr 25 for years, but the government announced last month that starting this year, it would take place on Feb 8.
"Nobody has the right to take issue" with the event, said Rodong Sinmun, the official daily of North Korea's ruling Workers' Party.
"It is a custom and very basic common sense that any country in the world takes the founding anniversary of its military very seriously and celebrates it."
The Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, open on Feb 9.

Satellite photos have shown North Korean soldiers and armoured vehicles apparently rehearsing for a parade that could be seen as a show of military strength.
Critics have accused Pyongyang of rescheduling the parade to ruin the atmosphere at the Winter Olympics.
Rodong Sinmun dismissed the allegations as "malicious", noting that North Korea's regular army was created on Feb 8 seven decades ago.
"This amounts to arguing that we knew 70 years ago the Olympics will take place in the South on Feb 9, 2018," the newspaper said.
South Korean unification minister Cho Myoung-Gyon's recent comment that the parade is "highly likely to be a threatening one" also prompted a warning from the paper.
Such criticism, the Rodong Sinmun said, would sour the opening of the Winter Olympics.
The North is participating in the Games after its leader Kim Jong-Un abruptly announced his willingness to attend in his New Year's address.
The move was seen as an attempt to ease searing tensions on the Korean peninsula over Pyongyang's nuclear and missile programmes.
North Korea on Monday called off a joint cultural performance with the South ahead of the forthcoming Winter Olympics to protest criticism of the military parade by South Korean media.

Question: Lawsuit says Iowa's voter ID law violates state constitution

A lawsuit claims Iowa’s new voter identification law violates the state constitution.
Priorities USA Foundation says the lawsuit was filed Wednesday in Polk County District Court in Des Moines. The national group, which is covering legal costs, provided a copy of the lawsuit.
It’s the first legal challenge against the new ID requirement and its provisions. Parts of the law will be in effect for Iowa’s upcoming June 5 primary, though a requirement to show ID to cast a regular ballot won’t be in place until 2019.
The lawsuit’s plaintiffs are the League of United Latin American Citizens of Iowa and an Iowa State University student.
Iowa Secretary of State Paul Pate is named as a defendant in the suit. His office did not respond to a request for comment.

Question: 500 Startups closes $35M Japan fund with the backing of the Japanese government

represent the article to find a fitting news title

500 Startups has announced the close of its fund for Japan, more than 18 months after it was first unveiled. The effort is backed by the Japanese government, which has chipped in as an LP via its Cool Japan Fund. (Yes, that really is the name of the fund, which is aiming to use about $1 billion in public money over its lifecycle.)
Initially U.S.-based 500 Startups targeted a $30 million close, but it has reached a total of $35 million thanks to strong interest from investment partners, so says James Riney, its Japan-based partner who runs the fund. CJF, as the fund is known, is committing $10 million, but beyond a large check it adds gravitas, too.
“[Cool Japan’s involvement] is symbolic in a way because there been a lot of top down influence in the startup ecosystem in Japan,” Riney told TechCrunch in an interview. “As an outsider coming in, having the government’s investment is a validation.”
In particular, Riney said that 500 Startups will work with CJF to open up opportunities for its portfolio companies further down the line: that chiefly means funding.
“We’ll be sourcing and supporting startups at the seed stage, and inviting CJF to look at later $10 million-$20 millions rounds to give startups the firing power to expand,” Riney said.
“CJF has capital to invest outside of Japan but doesn’t necessary have the network. We’ve been extremely aggressive expanding outside of the U.S.,” he added. “No matter where they want to expand to, we have someone locally who is well connected to help them hit the ground running.”
Other investors in the fund include camera-maker Nikon, Meizhou Bank, Mitsubishi Estate and Japanese social network Mixi.
The 500 Startups Japan fund is looking to co-invest in early-stage deals, offering $100,000-$500,000 checks per round. In some cases, it may stretch to $1 million, Riney said, while around half of the total fund is allocated to follow-on investments. Over the past year, the fund has done 21 deals, and that’s a pace that it is expected to continue with now that the fund is fully closed.
The 500 Startups Japan team
While CPF’s involvement is particularly strategic — and headline-worthy — 500 Startups doesn’t need much help finding partners who operate at later stage investment phases. The U.S. firm has struck up relationships worldwide after making investments in more than 1,500 startups across 60 countries, while, operationally, it has people on the ground in 20 countries.
LPs in its central fund include corporates in places like East Asia and the Middle East, and its sprawling collection of micro-funds for specific makets is too numerous to detail in full. In Asia they include 500 Durians in Southeast Asia, 500 Tuktuks in Thailand, 500 Kimchi in Korea and a less-catchy-named investment vehicle in Vietnam. Riney, for what it’s worth, said he chose ‘500 Startups Japan’ as a more conservative fund name to adhere to Japanese business culture and avoid alienating potential investors.
Despite a nod to the nation’s conservatism, Riney said that startups are beginning to break out in Japan. Our sister site in Japan reported that startup investment in the country’s surpassed JPY 200 billion (around $2 billion) for the first time last year. Riney believes that the ambition to take risk is also changing the mindset of founders and investors, who in the past would push for an exit via IPO as a risk-averse way to ensure a return on investment.
“Historically if you wanted to do a $20 million-$30 million round you didn’t have options and had to do IPO,” he sad. “Now we’re seeing many more later rounds, more companies choosing to stay private and raise a lot more capital so that they can aim for growth — investors starting to feel more comfortable, too.”
“The Japanese government has gotten more involved in supporting and it has really shown in the investment outlay,” Riney added.
With relatively few investors, and fewer still with links outside of Japan, 500 Startups has a unique position that will likely help it secure significant deal flow. The investment focus is vertical agnostic, Riney said, but he’s keen on industries such as bioinformatics, space, logistics and other areas that have been disrupted globally but not touched on by startups in Japan yet.
“We’re particularly bullish on legacy industries that have been very consumer facing,” he said.
Riney is assisted by a team of five in Japan, which includes former investment banker Yohei Sawayama who serves as the fund’s second partner.

Question: Average Brit is 79 percent good

Represent this text to find a news title for it

The average Brit considers themselves to be 79 percent good – and 21 percent bad, according to a new study.
Researchers took an in depth look into how the nation sees themselves - with some surprising results.
According to the data most of us (45 percent) claim we would do anything for anyone, while a further 28 percent would consider themselves to be a “good egg”.
However, behind the smiles and the niceties, 90 percent of us claim to have a dark side – with the average Brit owning up to doing something bad six times in the last 12 months.
Saying something spiteful to hurt someone else (25 percent), sharing a secret had promised you’d keep to yourself (22 percent) and kissing someone you shouldn’t made Brits naughty list.
One in twenty (5 percent) even admitted to having an extra marital affair and 16 percent have sworn at a stranger in the street after a minor disagreement.
The ‘good v bad’ study, which was carried out by online casino playojo.com also revealed women claim they are more likely to have a dark side than men (61 percent).
In fact, a sinister one in ten (11 percent) of the 1,500 adults polled said they have a dark side that no one knows about.
Yesterday a spokesperson for playojo.com casino said: “On the whole the research shows most people consider themselves to be good person - but we all have a tendency to go off piste from time to time.
“The research highlighted that most people are aware of their weaknesses whether that be telling a few fibs, losing our temper or snooping at something we shouldn’t.
“No one can be perfect all the time and we are all capable of behaving badly when tired, stressed or under pressure.
“We realised there was a level of distrust among players in the online casino industry and we pledged to give them a more rewarding and fairer alternative.
“At PlayOJO.com we’ve re-written the rules for online gaming – We give players back control of their money with no sneaky terms and conditions in the small print. We don’t have wagering requirements and we give money back on every bet, win or lose. In fact, we’re not bad for an online casino.”
To keep our dark side in check more than two thirds (67 percent) of the population felt they need the occasional chance to misbehave.
And nearly two thirds (64 percent) of respondents said they find people who are ‘holier than thou’ a bit boring and felt it was good to have an edgier side.
High stress levels and a bad temper were the most common weaknesses of those polled with a quarter complaining that money was their Achilles heel.
Telling lies, the opposite sex and alcohol were also listed as common character flaws the survey found.
A quarter of the adults polled (24 percent) said they have suffered life changing consequences as a result of being badly behaved and 39 percent said they often felt guilty after getting up to something they shouldn’t.
Nearly half of Brits said they often come across as sweetness and light but harbour vicious thoughts about people they dislike.
BRITS MOST COMMON MISDEMEANOURS….
1. Lied about how much money you have spent
2. Said something spiteful to someone
3. Told a secret you said you would keep quiet
4. Lied about your whereabouts
5. Sworn at a stranger
6. Flirted with someone you shouldn’t
7. Lied about how much you drink
8. Snubbed someone in the street
9. Committed road rage
10. Snooped on someone’s emails
11. Kissed someone I shouldn’t have
12. Carried out an act of revenge on someone you don’t like
13. Told a lie to hurt someone
14. Sent a naked selfie to someone
15. Sexted someone you shouldn’t
16. Lied on a CV or interview
17. Stitched someone up at work
18. Had an affair

Seen this? Your license tax and how it is lavished. In any other walk of life this is called shift work and would just happen. An extra £1m for some of the MOST biased and most anti-British BBC employees. Cheers.

Question: MPAA head says theaters will survive rise of streaming sites

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

LAS VEGAS (AP) — The new chairman and CEO of the Motion Picture Association of America says he is optimistic about the movie and theatrical exhibition business.
Rivkin and John Fithian, the president and CEO of the National Association of Theater Owners delivered a state of the industry speech Tuesday morning at the annual CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas addressing concerns like waning audiences and increased competition from streaming.
Both stressed that there are ups and downs every year and that theaters will continue to survive.
CinemaCon is an annual gathering of theater owners and exhibitors, during which they get a look upcoming films from major Hollywood studios and a preview of some of the latest and greatest in theatrical technologies and even concession options.

STREAMING SERVICES Netflix and Amazon Prime Video are set to overtake revenues from cinemas in just three years.
A new study by PwC says that, by 2020, video-on-demand services will grow by over 30 per cent, reaching £1.42bn, nudging out the multiplex at £1.41bn.
While the rise of streaming seems unstoppable, it doesn't necessarily mean the end of cinema. Recent Julian Barratt comedy 'Mindhorn' was simultaneously released to the UK cinema, but straight to Netflix in the US, while cult programmes such as Doctor Who often get premieres on cinema screens.
Then there are linear shows such as AMC's Better Call Saul that are put straight onto Netflix outside the US, giving them first run rights.
Then there are deals like the one Netflix has signed with Adam "bloody" Sandler for films that will go straight to Netflix and we're powerless to stop it.
Phil Stokes at PwC told the Guardian that the state of the cinema industry in the UK is "pretty healthy", citing the box office success of the Star Wars franchise as one example of why there's continuing demand for the big screen.
But the news is slightly worse for the likes of Virgin Media and Sky, with the expectation that Netflix and Amazon will command two-thirds of the streaming market. Virgin Media and Sky will, however, continue to excel at one-off "Box Office" events such as Boxing matches.
Meanwhile, older physical formats DVD and Blu-ray are predicted to be in "terminal decline" dropping from the current £1.22bn in 2016 to £533bn by 2021. The tipping point where streaming overtakes physical media is predicted for this year, but other reports suggest this has already happened.
This is particularly bad news for the high street, who have no means of capitalising on streaming, and so far companies like Tesco (Blinkbox) and Sainsburys Entertainment have failed to attract more than a small market share. The former is now in the hands of TalkTalk who are in a somewhat better position to capitalise on it, but both operate a "buy or rent" model, as does Google Play, rather than a one-off subscription.
Some linear channels are beginning to show early series of original streaming programming like recently leaked Orange is the New Black and Mr Robot, but audiences are relatively small compared to those subscribing to Netflix and Amazon. µ

Question: Man To Plead Guilty To Buying Weapons Used In San Bernardino Attack

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

Enrique Marquez Jr., 25, of Riverside, Calif., is accused of purchasing the assault rifles used in the San Bernardino terrorist attack, and has agreed to plead guilty to federal criminal charges.
Benjamin Gottlieb of member station KCRW tells our Newscast unit:
In his plea, Marquez admits that his friend, Syed Rizwan Farook, paid him for the assault rifles used to kill 14 people and injure 22 others in December of 2015. That's when Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik opened fire at a holiday party of Farook's coworkers at the Inland Regional Center. Marquez also admits he conspired with Farook in 2011 and 2012 to attack Riverside City College (RCC) — as well as commuter traffic on a major freeway in Southern California. Those plans never materialized.
U.S. Attorney Eileen Decker said, "While his earlier plans to attack a school and a freeway were not executed, the planning clearly laid the foundation for the 2015 attack on the Inland Regional Center."
Prosecutors say there is no evidence that Marquez participated in the San Bernardino attack or had advance knowledge about it.
He did acknowledge that he was a "straw buyer" when he purchased two high-powered rifles used in the San Bernardino attack.
According to a Justice Department statement:
"Straw purchasers are criminals who are the beginning of the chain of violence in our country," said ATF Special Agent in Charge Eric D. Harden. "It is purchases like Marquez's that led to the terror on that tragic day in San Bernardino. The crime goes beyond making a false statement on a government form. It puts guns in the hands of criminals who will victimize the community. In this case, the straw purchase is as reprehensible as the attack."
Mandy Pifer, whose boyfriend Shannon Johnson was killed in the terror attack, told The Associated Press that Marquez's plea agreement brought mixed emotions:
"It's a hell of a day to come out, Valentine's Day," the 42-year-old Los Angeles resident said. "I'm relieved that it won't be a long trial. If it'll be finished sooner, I'm all for it." She said she planned to speak at Marquez's sentencing about the impact her boyfriend's killing has had on her. In his last moments, Johnson huddled with a colleague under a table, shielding her from the bullets. "It is what it is," she said. "Nothing's going to bring him back."
Marquez is expected to formally enter his guilty pleas Thursday morning.
He has been in custody since he was ordered detained at his initial court appearance in this case on Dec. 17, 2015.
Marquez faces up to 25 years in federal prison.

Question: Brandis chides 'catastrophic' Greens error

It was a mistake for Greens senators to quit parliament over citizenship, George Brandis says. (AAP)
George Brandis says it was a "catastrophic" error by former Greens senators Larissa Waters and Scott Ludlam to quit parliament over their dual citizenships.
Attorney-General George Brandis has laid the boot into former Greens senators Scott Ludlam and Larissa Waters for walking the parliamentary plank over their dual citizenships.
Senator Brandis, responding to questions from the Greens, said the pair could have dobbed themselves in to the High Court and waited to see if they were still eligible before jumping ship.
"They didn't have to resign, but they did," he said during Senate question time on Tuesday.
"Perhaps that was a catastrophic error of judgement on their part."
Greens leader Richard Di Natale said his colleagues had done "the honourable thing, the decent thing, the right thing" and acted with integrity in standing down.
Senator Di Natale said Nationals senator Matt Canavan had adopted a "half-way house" position in quitting the ministry but remaining in parliament over citizenship concerns, while Barnaby Joyce had stooped even lower.
He pushed the attorney-general to commit to auditing the citizenship statuses of all federal MPs.
Senator Brandis, who steered well clear of calls for a citizenship audit, said he did not deny the two former Greens acted with integrity.
"I suspect they probably acted a little prematurely in resigning," he said.

On 15 February Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull was forced to face questions from Tony Burke, Labor MP, about the Western Australian Liberal Party giving far-right populist party One Nation preference over Nationals. Turnbulls industry minister Arthur Sinidinos said One Nation was more “sophisticated” than it was 20 years ago. But after the interview, it was reported Western Australia One Nation candidate Michelle Meyers claimed the push for marriage equality in Australia was propagated by a Nazi-era “mind control program” and abortion was creating “societies of cannibals”.

Question: Justin Thomas Wins PGA Championship for First Major Title

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

Justin Thomas capped off a major season that belonged to an aggressive new breed of fearless young Americans when he stormed to a two-stroke victory at the PGA Championship on Sunday.At 24, he followed in the footsteps of then-23-year-old Jordan Spieth's British Open triumph and the U.S. Open victory by 27-year-old Brooks Koepka, suggesting a bright future for American golf.Thomas, one of the longest drivers on tour, started the final major of the year ranked 14th in the world, not one of the favourites after recent poor form, but came through by executing under pressure as many of his rivals withered."I just had an unbelievable calmness throughout the week, throughout the day," Thomas said after lifting the Wanamaker Trophy. "I really truly felt I was going to win. I was just very confident. I didn’t get flustered."I was a lot more calm than I thought I would be. I thought I would be very shaky. At one point I looked at my hand it was a little shaky but that’s why you play."The serenity served Thomas well after a slow start, as he bided his time before vaulting to the front with four birdies in a sizzling seven-hole stretch mid-round.He then held firm over the dangerous final water-lined three holes, known as the 'Green Mile', hoisting a seven-iron to 15-foot at the par-three 17th before sinking the putt to all but secure victory, a bogey at the last academic as he carded 68 to finish at eight-under 276."That was probably one of the best shots I’ve ever had to a pin that was really brutal," Thomas said of his tee shot at 17."I needed to make par. I’ll never forget that vision in my head (and) to make a birdie there was beyond a bonus."Thomas was one of five players tied for the lead early on the back nine, before he broke clear with an unlikely 40-foot chip-in birdie at the par-three 13th.He celebrated wildly, pumping his fists, perhaps sensing it was a pivotal moment."That chip-in on 13 was probably the most berserk I’ve ever been on the golf course," he said.As Thomas celebrated, others wondered what might have been, as fellow American Patrick Reed (67) bogeyed the last to finish equal second with Italian Francesco Molinari (67) and South African Louis Oosthuizen (70).Hideki Matsuyama, seeking to become the first man from Japan to win a major, held the lead briefly mid-round before fading with three consecutive bogeys from the 11th.He carded 72 and finished three shots behind with American Rickie Fowler (67).Overnight leader Kevin Kisner (74) finished four shots back.Thomas, after sinking a 35-foot birdie at the ninth, picked up another shot to tie for the lead at the par-five 10th, where his eight-foot putt stopped on the lip of the cup.Almost apoplectic with frustration, he wisely took his time walking to the ball, which after remaining stationary for 12 seconds toppled in."I acted like a child and threw a little tantrum and then it went in so I didn't look so bad," Thomas said."I did a little fit and gravity took over."Two hours later he was celebrating victory."Major champion will never be taken away from my name," he said.
