With the weather slowly improving as winter gradually turns into spring, the thought of being outside again is increasingly at the forefront of people's minds.
The question is: what is there in Somerset to do? How should we spend our hard-won weekends enjoying the great outdoors without having to leave this wondrous county?
Fortunately, TripAdvisor has come up with a number of suggestions which make planning a weekend excursion easy.
Here are the top 15 outdoor destinations in Somerset, as voted for (and reviewed) by TripAdvisor users:
15. Bath City Boat Trips, Bath
Don't let its claims about hen parties put you off - if you want to experience the River Avon in all its glory, this is one of the best ways to do it.
Reviewer louisebath2017 said: "Our hosts Tony and Glen were fantastic. They took care of our every need, including stopping off to buy a new corkscrew as we broke ours. We had a fantastic time and I would highly recommend."
14. Kilve Beach, Kilve
Nestled at the north-eastern corner of the Quantock Hills, this distinctive beach is a must-visit location for budding geologists and fossil experts, both young and old.
Reviewer TizzieBelle said: "Loved our visit here. The beach is great and there are loads and loads of fossils to hunt. Be sure to walk all the way along the beach as about after an hour's walk there are steps to the walk back to the car park through fields."
13. Tropiquaria Zoo, Washford
You don't need to drive all the way to Bristol or even Paignton to experience exotic animals - this intimate zoo in Washford is a great way to while away a few hours.
Reviewer FairyFloat said: "I can't praise the staff highly enough. From the very start, they were friendly and welcoming."
12. Quantock Trekking, Taunton
Whether you're a seasoned gymkhana champion or have never rode a horse in your life, you'll find this trek through the Quantocks relaxing and inspiring.
Reviewer SandrineSpirit said: "The staff at Quantock Trekking went to great lengths to give us the most suitable (lovely) horses and we had a wonderful personalised two-hour trek amongst stunning scenery."
11. Berrow Beach, Berrow
Nestled just south of the Brean Leisure Park, this unspoilt stretch of Somerset sand is very popular with families all year round.
Reviewer MrCaddy said: "A superb beach with golden sands, ideal in the summer for family picnics, beach games and dog walks - ideal as plenty of parking in various places. Whatever the weather this is a fab beach for various activities."
10. River Adventures, Bath
Whether you want a short trip to Pulteney Weir or a lengthy jaunt involving beer or prosecco, there is a river adventure here for you.
Reviewer Lizzy11980 said: "This was an excellent 25 minute boat trip, good value for money, Paul the skipper was very friendly and knowledgeable. Just the right length to keep the children's attention. Definitely recommended."
9. The North Somerset Butterfly House, Congresbury
If you fancy getting warm in the cold but clear February weather, there are few more aesthetically pleasing ways of doing it then amongst extraordinary butterflies.
Reviewer Lally6169 said: "A great visit! Bigger and better than the one at Bristol Zoo. Very hot & humid but you can pop out to cool off and go back in as many times as you like with your receipt. Beautiful butterflies and very helpful informative staff."
8. The Lady Lena, Bathampton
As Ratty once opined in The Wind in the Willows, there is nothing quite like messing about in boats - especially this boat.
Reviewer Annette S said: "The trip was a surprise birthday present from my husband and couldn't be faulted.
The boat is beautifully restored and very comfortable - and the homemade cream tea was delicious."
7. The Grand Pier, Weston-super-Mare
Forget all talk of piers on the south coast - this is the best pier in the country for amusements, entertainment and for spectacular views.
Reviewer Adrian T said: "We go to the Grand Pier at least a few times a year and it is always a good experience. We can spend hours on the pier without getting bored. Best pier in the country."
6. West of England Falconry, Bath
Ever wanted to experience a bird of prey gripping your arm or gliding gracefully through the air? Then this is the place for you.
Reviewer Matt L said: "Me and my Dad visited today and took part in the owl experience. Naomi was great and was very knowledgeable. I still can't believe this place is more or less on my doorstep."
5. Butlins, Minehead
Don't let the Hi-De-Hi reputation of holiday camps put you off - there's plenty of modern entertainment and fun activity for people of all ages here.
Reviewer 17kellasj said: "Butlins at Minehead is brilliant. There is plenty to do all day and the redcoats are very friendly."
4. Bath Skyline, Bath
If you fancy a decent trek with some stunning views of Bath, then you can no look further than this fantastic experience.
Reviewer Clive B said: "The views were all different and stunning. I found places I didn't know existed. Well signposted, some climbs as you'd expect but not too difficult."
3. Weston-super-Mare Beach, Weston-super-Mare
Somerset is quite rightly proud of its beautiful beaches - but the care given to maintaining this stretch of sandy heaven takes some beating.
Reviewer Birtled said: "Lovely sandy beach which is cleaned and raked every morning during the summer season. The donkey rides are a must for the kids."
2. Noah's Ark, Wraxall
You'll need to allow a good few hours to take in everything that this unique zoo has to offer - but you can rest assured that it will be worth the commitment.
Reviewer Thomas D said: "Myself and my girlfriend visited the farm during the summer. We enjoyed seeing the farm animals up close and the talk from the farmer. We also enjoyed watching the keepers look after the elephants, and the hedge maze is a great activity."
1. Cave Climb Day Tours, Cheddar
It may be ironic that the best way to experience Somerset's outdoors is to go deep underground - but these astonishing caves are well worth the trip.
Review AndrewWatkins89 said: "A friend and I joined a group for an afternoons caving around Swildon's hole and had an excellent time. All of the necessary equipment was provided and the instructor (Bean) had a wealth of knowledge as well as enthusiasm. We will certainly be booking another day to delve deeper!"

Question: VA pick faces allegations about conduct, drug prescriptions

Represent this text to find a news title for it

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump's pick to be Veterans Affairs secretary is facing late-surfacing allegations about inappropriate behavior on the job and over-prescribing prescription drugs, forcing a delay in his confirmation hearing.
The hearing for Ronny Jackson had been set for Wednesday at the Senate Veterans Affairs Committee.
"We take very seriously our constitutional duty to thoroughly and carefully vet each nominee sent to the Senate for confirmation," said the chairman, Sen. Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., and the top Democrat on the committee, Sen. Jon Tester of Montana. "We will continue looking into these serious allegations and have requested additional information from the White House to enable the committee to conduct a full review."
The two lawmakers sent a letter to Trump on Tuesday requesting additional information about Jackson, who has served as a White House physician since 2006. It demands any communication between the Pentagon and the White House for the last 12 years regarding "allegations or incidents" involving him.
With Congress set to recess Friday for a week, Tester said the soonest a hearing could be held would be in about 10 days. "We're vetting hard right now," he told reporters. "We still have more information to find out."
Allegations began surfacing late last week involving Jackson's workplace practices, including claims of inappropriate behavior and over-prescribing prescription drugs, according to two aides granted anonymity to discuss the situation.
Isakson told fellow GOP senators over the weekend about the allegations prompting those on the panel to give their support for delaying the hearing, one senator said.
"Chairman Isakson had a phone conversation with a lot of us around the committee over the weekend, indicated that there had been some unsubstantiated allegations made, and he wants to do it right," said Sen. Mike Rounds, R-S.D. on Fox News @ Night With Shannon Bream.
"We told him that if he wanted to delay the meeting, that was fine with us. We most certainly want to get all the facts out," he said.
Democrats on the committee assembled privately late Monday. Tester reiterated to the other senators that the allegations were out there, one aide said. But no specific evidence of wrongdoing was offered.
White House and VA officials were quietly discussing a delay with key allies outside the administration, even as the White House on Tuesday scrambled to save Jackson's troubled nomination.
"Admiral Jackson has been on the front lines of deadly combat and saved the lives of many others in service to this country. He's served as the physician to three Presidents_Republican and Democrat_and been praised by them all," said White House spokesman Hogan Gidley. "Admiral Jackson's record of strong, decisive leadership is exactly what's needed at the VA to ensure our veterans receive the benefits they deserve."
Trump selected Jackson to head the VA last month after firing former Obama administration official David Shulkin following an ethics scandal and mounting rebellion within the agency. But Jackson, who has worked as a White House physician since 2006, has faced numerous questions from Republican and Democratic lawmakers as well as veterans groups about whether he has the experience to manage the massive department of 360,000 employees serving 9 million veterans.
A doomed nomination would be a political blow to the White House, which has faced criticism for sloppy vetting of Cabinet nominees and tough confirmation battles in a Senate where Republicans hold a slim 51-49 majority. Prior to Jackson's nomination, Trump had told aides and outside advisers that he was fond of Jackson personally and was said to be particularly impressed with Jackson's performance at the podium in January when he offered a glowing report on the president's physical and mental well-being.
"The White House does not vet their nominees. That leaves us as members having to look at their personal and leadership and other qualities, and they didn't do a good job and now we're doing it," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., a member of the Senate committee. She did not comment on the specific allegations against Jackson.
Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, who is not on the veterans panel, also criticized the White House vetting process, saying that the allegations against him arose after Trump nominated him. "I don't know whether this is an aberration or not, but it certainly is something that bears looking into." She said recent allegations of ethical violations in Oklahoma by EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt also raise questions about White House vetting.
Late Monday, Jackson was still pursuing support, and held a late-afternoon conference call with veterans groups from West Virginia and the state's Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin, a member of the committee, whose vote could be vital for support.
Rounds said Jackson's small staff at the White House will be an issue as he prepares to lead the VA.
"We've got 360,000 people there," he said. "Are they going to manage the secretary or is the secretary going to manage the VA? That's a good question to ask, and he needs to answer it. He needs to be the leader. A lot of folks want to be led and managed."

Question: 'Hot felon' makes his New York Fashion Week debut

represent this text to find a news title for it

Social media sensation Jeremy Meeks, the 'hot felon,' made his New York Fashion Week debut on the Philipp Plein runway earlier this week.
Meeks made headlines in 2014 after his mugshot, posted on the Stockton Police Department's Facebook page after he was arrested on federal weapons charges, went viral.
He became an instant Internet celebrity, with users commenting on his good looks.
Meeks was later convicted and sentenced to 27 months in a California prison, but he has since traded the cellblock for the catwalk.

Imagine a room filled with the most unlikely assemblage of people, from Madonna and Kylie Jenner to Fat Joe and even Pete Wentz. Double that by ten. Now you basically have the Philipp Plein show at New York Fashion Week, held at the New York Public Library on Monday night.
For a show that proved to be as wild as Plein's hard-edge, punk-inspired designs, the designer brought in not only a slew of unexpected models to walk at his first NYFW show (he previously showed in Milan), but also an unlikely mix of attendees.
First, let's start with the models.
At the Plein show, rapper Desiigner made his NYFW debut.

As did Fetty Wap.

Then there was Young Thug, who previously modeled for Kanye West's Yeezy Season 3 in 2016.

Pete Wentz, formerly of Fall Out Boy, also walked.

And then, perhaps the crown jewel of the runway, Jeremy Meeks, who's best known as the "Hot Felon," walked.

Among the other notable models were Hanne Gaby Odiele, the first out intersex model, Anwar Hadid (Gigi and Bella Hadid's brother) and Sofia Richie (daughter of Lionel Richie).

Not to be outdone, some pretty amazing women were watching on at this Plein show simultaneously. And by "pretty amazing women" we mean Tiffany Trump, Madonna, Kylie Jenner, Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton.

All these women, just a few yards away from one another, watching the Hot Felon prance down a runway.
Simply beautiful.
Though, apparently at the show, so many of those in attendance were hesitant enough to be seated near Tiffany Trump that the seats around her remained empty.
So there's that.
Earlier in the week, the youngest Trump daughter and her mother, Marla Maples, attended designer Taoray Wang's runway show, the same designer who created her coat and dress for inauguration day. ("I would rather focus on personal qualities and characters, rather than labelling them," Wang told the South China Morning Post backstage).

Following Plein's runway show, adding even more star power (because why not?), there was a performance from Nas and the Kills.

Was this the most exciting event New York Fashion Week has to offer? Well, guess we'll just have to see Kanye's Yeezy Season 5 show on Wednesday to make that call.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump, who campaigned for office promising to be “the most pro-Israeli president ever,” is scheduled to meet Wednesday with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“This president looks at Netanyahu as being sort of a natural partner,” said former Middle East envoy Dennis Ross who is now with the Washington Institute for Near East Policy. If other summits were doomed to fail, Ross noted, this meeting is “doomed to succeed.”
Relations between President Barack Obama and Netanyahu were notoriously frosty. Obama punctuated the chill in those relations in December when his administration allowed the U.N. Security Council to pass a resolution that condemned the building of new Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory. Any fixation on settlements, said Islamic reformist Zudhi Jasser, “is what the Islamists want” because the controversy puts Israel, not Palestinians, on the defensive.
Wednesday’s meeting presents “an opportunity to reboot the relationship with Israel,” said Jasser, founder of the American Islamic Forum for Democracy.
Trump defended Jewish settlements as a candidate, but the president tweaked his position recently after Netanyahu announced plans to build 2,500 new housing units in the West Bank settlements. White House spokesman Sean Spicer issued a statement that warned that any expansion of settlements “may not be helpful” to the peace process.
Candidate Trump also said he would move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem “fairly quickly.” But in an interview with an Israeli newspaper, Israel Hayom, published last week, Trump equivocated. Asked when he would move the embassy, Trump answered, “The embassy is not an easy decision. It has obviously been out there for many, many years and nobody has wanted to make that decision.”
Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton abandoned similar campaign promises.
“He’s making it clear he’s going to listen to both sides,” said Jasser.
“Right now we don’t know what Donald Trump’s strategy is” on the embassy or settlements, said Abed Ayoub of the Arab-American Anti-American Committee. He expects more of the policies “we’ve seen in the past,” and that’s “letting Israel get away with whatever it pleases.”
A senior White House official who briefed reporters Tuesday said that Iran will be a critical piece of the discussion. Netanyahu has called the 2015 multi-national nuclear pact supported by Obama “a historic mistake.” Trump has branded it “a disaster.”
Former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn put Iran officially “on notice” after Tehran engaged in a ballistic missile test launch. The White House response was to issue new sanctions on 25 Iranians. Both Netanyahu and Trump want to isolate Iran further.
Asked what he plans to do about Iran, Trump told Hayom, “I don’t talk about what I’m planning.”
Former diplomat Elliott Abrams, who served in the administrations of Bush and Ronald Reagan, sees the Trump White House engaging in an “inside-out” strategy: “Instead of using an Israeli-Palestinian deal to improve Israel’s relations with the Arab states, use Israel’s relations with the Arab states to advance an Israeli-Palestinian peace deal,” he explained in The Weekly Standard.
This new emphasis seems likely to replace Foggy Bottom’s decades-long quest for a “two-state solution” — that would create an independent Palestinian state alongside Israel — at a time many see the Palestinians as incapable or uninterested in negotiating a long-term solution.
“A two-state solution that doesn’t bring peace is not a goal that anybody wants to achieve,,” the senior White House official said. “Peace is the goal, whether it comes in the form of a two-state solution if that’s what the parties want or something else, if that’s what the parties want, we’re going to help them.”
Asked his definiton of a two-state solution, the official answered, “If I ask five people what a two-state solution is, I get eight different answers.”

Question: Rediscovering Conservatism: Four Great Minds

To give you a sense - "['Represent the article to find a fitting news title', 'Kristin Cavallari is living her best life and she\'s working very hard to maintain it.\nIn this new teaser for Very Cavallari, which premieres Sunday, July 8 at 10 p.m., the reality TV starlet reveals just how determined she is to maintain a work/life balance.\nNot only is Kristin as dedicated as ever to the family she\'s built with husband Jay Cutler, but she also has business success on the brain. For those of you who are unaware, the MTV alum recently launched her very own lifestyle brand, Uncommon James.\n"This is a big deal for me," Kristin notes. "I can\'t fail."\nYou can say that again!!']" should be close to "['I found this news title. Can you represent it to find an explanatory news article?', 'Kristin Cavallari Proves She Has It All in New Very Cavallari Teaser!']"

There are probably, in my opinion, four great conservative thinkers who seem to define what conservatism is or should be all about.
EDMUND BURKE- THE BASICS
The first is Edmund Burke who believed that politics was an outgrowth of ethics. He believed that there were absolute moral truths and that they had their roots in traditions, customs, and mores. They, in turn, had their roots in religion. Speaking from a Western civilization point of view, he found those roots in the Judeo-Christian thought of the time.
However, religion need not be the only or even the major determinant; history also played a role. He believed that history taught leaders “temperance” and restraint in the use of power. Regarding rights, he would view today’s liberal the equivalent of the French Jacobin- discovering abstract rights where none are rightfully found.
Most importantly, and probably one of the defining characteristics of conservatism, is that if there is to be change, then it should be slow and incremental. Many describe the civil rights fights as slow and tortuous, but Burke would have argued for that long, slow and tortuous road rather than drastic change, especially when something affects our basic principles, morals, traditions and customs. Perhaps this is why 40+ years later, abortion, which affects a basic right to life, remains a controversial topic. One can surmise that gay marriage will remain a hot topic since it affects a deeply-held tradition and custom involving its very definition.
ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE- THE OBSERVER
The Frenchman Alexis de Tocqueville wrote Democracy in America, a book that 170 years later rings true today. He observed the young democracy and noted four potential problems and things that should be avoided. The first was the tyranny of the majority and by this he meant the majority opinion of the populace. He worried that governmental power would be concentrated in a single authority where citizens would be “reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd.” It is then that the majority would trample on the rights of the minority. The tyranny is manifested by the majority tendency to denigrate and lessen the legitimacy of views not sanctioned by the majority at a particular point in time. He described it as the majority drawing a circle around thought. Once one steps outside that circle, one is subjected to persecution. This accurately describes a modern tendency- political correctness. How true that rings today.
Second, equality serves to level differences while freedom serves to elevate differences. Here, the concept of rights are absolutely essential for a cohesive and prosperous society. The biggest problem with America was not its weaknesses, but its democratic strength. It was not the government, laws or institutions that was preventing a slide into tyranny of the majority; it was our mores, customs and traditions. Tocqueville saw religious life in America providing those mores. Thus it was religion that was the glue that held America together and kept it slipping into tyranny or anarchy.
The source of many problems today is a drift away from the mores and morality that religion previously provided to the country. Whether by design or ignorance (or both), the liberal tendency to a secular society has weakened the bonds that have held America together. The question is whether we have crossed the Rubicon in that area and there is no way back. That is why conservatism must seek to do that; not to force a religion upon a society, but as a means to re-establish that common bond that once held the country together cohesively.
Tocqueville noted that equality was America’s fate. But he questioned whether that equality led to “servitude or freedom, to enlightenment or barbarism, to prosperity or misery.” The greatest threat was not tyranny, but general apathy which democracy nurtures but cannot endure in the long term.
The third observation was materialism. He noted that America was more materialistic than Europe for three reasons. First, we had freed ourselves of “territorial aristocracy” creating an atmosphere where the poor aspired to greater heights while the rich feared falling from those heights. Second, all Americans have equal opportunity to advance themselves in life. Slight differences in wealth are often noted the most which destroys the notion of equality. In other words, the obvious and inherent inequalities are the impetus towards equality. The quest for equality explains both mass consumption and conspicuous wealth. American affluence poses the greatest threat to American religion. Yet religion poses no threat to affluence if that affluence is directed in conjunction with our morals, mores, customs and traditions.
The final danger to American democracy is the tendency towards bureaucracy which thrives in an atmosphere of a lack of statesmanship and citizenship. He foresaw that industrialization and economic stability may be a cause for bureaucracy, but he also noted that the most corrupt society would be one of the most advanced and/or disciplined bureaucracy. That aptly describes socialism. Viewed in light of the above considerations, one can see that a heavy reliance on bureaucracy necessarily leads to a regulated nanny state. He called this a “soft despotism” and worse than the worst tyrannies of history. It would “degrade men without tormenting them.”
Elected officials are far removed from responsibility to the point that they cannot effect grand measures such as securing our borders. To the progressive, the public interest is defined by current circumstances. It explains the liberal doctrine of legal realism and why activist judges discover “rights” where none are rightfully found.
RUSSELL KIRK- THE UPDATER
In the 1950’s, the political philosopher and writer Russell Kirk stated the six canons of conservatism in his book, The Conservative Mind. Kirk basically updated Burke’s beliefs and added or expounded upon some. The six canons are:
Belief in a “transcendent” order, or natural body of law, that rules society and the conscience. Political problems were basically moral ones. Rights are basic and cannot be derived from man. “Affection for the proliferating variety and mystery of human existence, as opposed to the narrowing uniformity, egalitarianism, and utilitarian aims of most radical systems.” Put another way, this is a rejection of the one-size fits all mentality of the Left. Civilized society requires order and classes. If natural differences are ignored, oligarchs and tyrants will rush in to fill the vacuum. Everyone is equal in the eyes of God only and should be equal before the law. Property and freedom are closely linked. If one separates property from private possession, “Leviathan becomes master of all.” Therefore, economic leveling is not economic progress. This canon also helps explain why one becomes more conservative in their outlook once they become property owners. The reason is simple: they have a tangible, vested interest in that property. Conservatism believes that the individual, not the government, is the best steward of individual property. Distrust of “sophisters, calculators, and economists” who would reconstruct society upon abstract designs. Traditions and customs are checks upon anarchy and lust for power. Recognize the need for change, but that such change not be salutary, that it be gradual, and that it be prudent. To the progressive Left and populists, change for the sake of change is the mantra as long as it is change that comports to their agenda. If there is to be change, besides being gradual and prudent, it must be achieved through the established democratic institutions.
WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY- THE STRATEGIST
When Buckley first started to become influential, there were three strands of conservatism: (1) traditional conservatives appalled by the secular masses, (2) libertarians repelled by a growing bureaucratic state threatening free enterprise and individualism, and (3) former liberals concerned by the growing Communist threat. As founder and leader of the National Review, he kept these sometimes disparate views together and gave them an equal voice on the pages. That was the genius of Buckley- his ability to fuse the three strands into one.
Whether from the Left or Right, he warned that keywords like “national unity,” “middle-of-the-road,” “progressivism,” and “bipartisanship” were suspect ones because they usually foretold of a lack of principle on either side. Buckley’s strategy was fourfold: keep the GOP tilted to the Right, eliminate any and all extremists, fight liberals at every opportunity, and ensure nothing short of victory over the Communists.
Buckley viewed, correctly, that America was actually a bastion of conservatism. He rejected the liberal belief that truths are “ transitory and empirically determined.” He rejected the notion that equality is only attainable through the actions of government.
Conversely, conservatism was based on “freedom, individuality, the sense of community, the sanctity of the family, the supremacy of the conscience, the spiritual view of life.” Political order should be judged by whether it promotes or degrades personal freedoms.
No discussion of Buckley would be complete without mentioning the so-called Buckley Rule. The actual comment was to elect the “most rightward viable candidate.” There are two parts to this. The first is that the voter first must gauge the “rightward” aspect of the candidate. That does not mean to check off every box, but as many as possible
The second is to gauge the “viability” of the candidate and may be specific to the race or state. Unfortunately, many times the GOP has put up candidates who profess their conservative credentials during campaigns, but act quite differently when actually elected. So the question becomes whether the candidate is principled in their beliefs and then acts upon those principles. I posit that there are precious few elected “conservatives” who meet these basic requirements today.

Question: Mike Babcock Post Game: Leafs 4 vs. Senators 3

Mike Babcock addressed the media after his team’s come-from-behind 4-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night.
On manufacturing a response in the third period after trailing 3-1:
You give up 18 shots on the road, you’ve done a lot of good things. Obviously, the score wasn’t going our way and then we gave up the power play goal against. It looked like deja vu, like we were going to do it again. But I thought we had a real good response. I talked to you the other day — I thought we had real good internal leadership. Everyone talked about Freddy because he talked publicly, but in our room after last game, and we had it again tonight in between periods from [Patrick Marleau]. I think those things are real important. When the players take over the team and own the team and own what they do, you’re a much better team. I was impressed with what happened tonight.
On Patrick Marleau speaking up between periods:
Patty and I talked when he got here and he said to me, “If some night, I need to talk…” But I think those things are important. If you saw at the end, Ron Hainsey was running everything at the end. That, to me, is what you want. You want your veteran guys who have done a lot of winning to have a stake in it. They make you a better team. I think that’s what you want if you’re going to have success. I think it’s important that we went through the adversity we went through. I really believe that. It can make you better. Now we’ve got to dig in and win some games here and get on a bit of a roll. Obviously, tonight is a good step. We had some real, real good players tonight.
On whether this was the type of gut-it-out win the team needed:
Obviously, any time it’s not going as good, it usually isn’t pretty. Lots of times your goalie saves 50 or something like that, but tonight it was the opposite of that. Our players picked up Freddy and really did a good job. We were stingy. I thought our forwards really worked hard to help out our D. Going into the game without Riels and without Zaits, you look like you’re pretty limited on the backend, but I thought Dermott and Carrick had real good games for us. I thought Dermott was really good and I thought Borgman was real physical. We got good contributions from those guys.
On Morgan Rielly’s status:
I don’t really know his status. He’ll be checked out tomorrow. He skated today in hopes of playing himself. To me, that’s a real good sign. He couldn’t go. They’ll check him out with more detail now and get home. We’ll know more for the Colorado game.
On the importance of the goal for Mitch Marner:
I thought that was great, but I thought Mitchy played good all night. We played him all over in the third. We played him on the left side, right side. We played him on all three lines. I thought he played well and I thought he earned opportunity, which is important. We had a much better effort work-wise tonight than we’ve had and I think it showed.
On giving up another shorthanded goal on the power play:

Elliotte Friedman connects the Leafs with pending UFA center Brian Boyle as well as undrafted Gatineau forward Zack MacEwen, Mike Babcock takes ownership for slow starts, and more in the links. Friedman: Leafs linked to pending UFA Brian Boyle Another UFA to watch is Tampa Bay's Brian Boyle.

Question: Ambien tells Roseanne drug doesn't cause 'racism' after Valerie Jarrett tweet

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

ABC canceled its hit reboot of "Roseanne" on Tuesday, May 29, 2018, following star Roseanne Barr's racist tweet that referred to former Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett as a product of the Muslim Brotherhood and the "Planet of the Apes." File photo by Richard Shotwell Invision/AP

DISGRACED TV star Roseanne Barr has gone into meltdown a day after her sitcom was axed over her racist tweets with another barrage of strange posts.
Despite repeatedly saying she was sorry and telling fans not to defend her, she continued to retweet their supportive messages, prompting some to doubt the sincerity of her apology.
"It was sincere, but there's just a limit of bullying I'm going to remain silent for. go away," she tweeted the day after the cancellation, telling another critic, "I've been punished enough and have my own story to tell."
Even Donald Trump weighed in on the drama after the actress's rebooted hit TV show was abruptly axed by the ABC, asking why the US network had apologised to Jarrett but not to him for "HORRIBLE statements" made about him on the network.
Bob Iger of ABC called Valerie Jarrett to let her know that “ABC does not tolerate comments like those” made by Roseanne Barr. Gee, he never called President Donald J. Trump to apologize for the HORRIBLE statements made and said about me on ABC. Maybe I just didn’t get the call? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) 30 May 2018
Barr earlier said she "felt bad" for the US President because "he goes thru this every single day."
Roseanne was cancelled after its star compared black former Obama administration official Valerie Jarrett to an ape, writing that if Islamist political movement "Muslim brotherhood & planet of the apes had a baby = vj."
Responding to a photo someone shared of her dressed as Hitler on Wednesday, the disgraced actor wrote, "I'm a Jew, bigot."
In a series of tweets unleashed hours after she was fired, Barr said she did something "unforgivable", "egregious" and "
indefensible" and admitted she "went too far".
She said her original comments were a result of "Ambien tweeting" - a reference to the sleeping pill.
cuz i've been punished enough and have my own story to tell — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) 30 May 2018
When she was called out for making excuses, she answered: "No, i didnt i blamed myself. stop lying. Yes, I have had odd ambien experiences on tweeting late at night-like many other ppl do. I BLAME MYSELF OK? it's just an explanation not an excuse, Ok, bully?"
Ambien maker Sanofi released a blunt statement on Wednesday morning, saying "racism is not a known side effect" of its medication.
Barr told one supporter: "I gave them the weapon to kill me - I was not equipped to take all the heat. I cracked & made a stupid insensitive joke - it's my fault."
She even retweeted a Charlie Sheen post that read "adios Roseanne!" and said the runway was now clear for a reboot of his sitcom, Two And A Half Men.
adios
Roseanne!
good
riddance.
hashtag
NOT Winning.

He was among many celebrities, including Bryan Cranston, Minnie Driver and Jim Parsons, to join the criticism of Barr's offensive comments.
Barr initially clumsily apologised, saying she was "not racist, just an idiot who made a bad joke" and planned to leave Twitter.
But she then backtracked and became more vocal than ever, taking shots at two cast members who called her out for her "abhorrent" rant.
Sara Gilbert, who plays her on-screen daughter, tweeted: "Roseanne's recent comments ... and so much more, are abhorrent and do not reflect the beliefs of our cast and crew or anyone associated with our show. I am disappointed in her actions to say the least."
Barr replied simply: "Wow! unreal."
She later told a fan: "I understand her position and why she said what she said. i forgive her. It just shocked me a bit, but I indeed f***ed up."

She also took aim at Michael Fishman, who has played her on-screen son since the show's start in 1988.
Fishman wrote: "Today is one of the hardest days of my life. I feel devastated, not for the end of the Roseanne show, but for all those who poured their hearts and souls into our jobs, and the audience who welcomed us into their homes.
"Our cast, crew, writers, and production staff strives for inclusiveness, with numerous storylines designed to reflect inclusiveness."
Barr took exception to that. "I created the platform for that inclusivity and you know it. ME. You throw me under the bus. Nice!" she tweeted.
The comedian declared she wasn't a racist, and tweeted at Jarrett directly to apologise for "hurting and upsetting u with an insensitive & tasteless tweet".
"I am truly sorry - my whole life has been about fighting racism," her tweet to Jarrett continued. "I made a terrible mistake which caused hundreds of ppl 2 lose their jobs. so sorry!"
While apologising repeatedly, Barr's choice of retweets from supporters justifying her original, racist message struck a defiant tone - they included a post that juxtaposed an image of Jarrett with an image of a Planet of the Apes actor and another that said she didn't know the Obama staffer was black.
She appeared to justify that move by tweeting that, while she was sorry for the joke that started it all, she would continue to defend herself.
She also suggested that US network ABC axed the show because of a "threatened boycott" from the show's advertisers by "ppl who do that sort of thing".
Critics leapt upon that declaration with swift replies, including: "I heard it was because your actions had consequences. Put your big girl pants on and take responsibility."
"I heard it was because you can't keep your racist typing hands off of social media," another added.
thanks for supporting me! I gave them the weapon to kill me-I was not equipped to take all the heat. I cracked & made a stupid insensitive joke-it's my fault. — Roseanne Barr (@therealroseanne) 30 May 2018

Question: Woman rebounds with a guy not in her league

represent the article to find a fitting news title.

Dear Amy: I am a 31-year-old single, educated woman. I ended a six-year relationship that became emotionally controlling and physically abusive. My ex and I have agreed to try to co-parent our 3-year-old son.
My parents, who were pushed away due to the control issues, jumped in and rescued me and my son. They are co-investors on my new house and wholeheartedly participate in my son's life.
I have a new guy who surfaced at the time of my separation. He was going through a similar break-up. The new love has blossomed to a point where he is moving in.
He is in is 50s, has three adult kids, two grandkids, and works as a labourer.
My parents are livid. They feel that I am making a bad choice. Financially I make much more than he does. It is not an issue with me, because he will pay rent.
My parents have met him and feel he is no match for their daughter. They are taking a strong stance against the new guy, perhaps selling my co-investment home and limiting future finances. They see him as a freeloader and want me to find someone in my league.
I am in counseling and get support for "living my own life." I would like your opinion, if you think I am making a mistake with the new guy for the disruption it may cause.
-- Torn
Dear Torn: I align with your parents, but perhaps for different reasons.
I don't know (or care, really) if this man is in your league.
What in this arrangement is good for your son? In his very short life, he has experienced emotional and physical abuse between his parents, and in short order his mother has invited a new man into the home.
No. Just no. There are many reasons for caution, but the reason that should matter the most to all of you was revealed in an eight-year study published in 2005 by the American Academy of Pediatrics, which concluded: "Young children who reside in households with unrelated adults are at exceptionally high risk for inflicted-injury death. Most perpetrators are male, and most are residents of the decedent child's household at the time of injury." The study also noted that children residing with a single parent (and no unrelated adults in the household) are at NO increased risk.
I'm not saying that this man is dangerous to you or your children. I am saying that you are not being prudent.
Engage in this relationship if you want to, but you are both rebounding, and this man should not be moving into your home until your life is more stable and you know him much better. He could be the greatest guy in the world, and if he is, he will respect your needs as a protective parent, and date you without moving in.
Dear Amy: One of my best friends is about to turn 30. Within the last few months, he has been depressed, and overall seems unhappy. Recently he emailed our close group of friends to share this information and to ask that we consider a weekend at the beach to help him celebrate his 30th. He said it would mean the world to him!
He even offered to pay for us to fly there.
I don't make as much money as my friends. If I tell him this, he will offer to pay, but I don't feel comfortable with him doing that. I am a grown adult and should pay for myself. I feel incredibly guilty, though, because I am getting married soon and he is in the wedding. He is spending time and money on me for all of my wedding-related activities and parties and I feel bad that I won't/can't offer support in return.
Should I suck it up and pay for a short and expensive weekend, or tell him that it just won't work?
-- Worried Friend
Dear Worried: You should take him up on his offer. He is crying out for companionship and willing to help you get to him. Let him do this, be a great and supportive guest, and celebrate his birthday -- and your friendship.
Dear Amy: "Priority Parent" was wondering how to correct children on the playground.
Your response was too wordy for kids! Children don't need to be told what NOT to do (especially when they already know). Simply say, "The slide is for going down -- not up." "Wood chips belong on the ground."
-- Simple Speaker
Dear Speaker: Thank you!

The smaller guy who's been bullied for a while finally has to face the big bully in front of the whole school, gets in the first shot, and astounds. The punch the smaller guy packs is more than anyone expected.

Question: Reports: U.S. Intercepted Calls Between Trump Campaign Staff And Russian Intelligence

Russian intelligence officials made repeated contact with members of President Trump's campaign staff, according to new reports that cite anonymous U.S. officials. American agencies were concerned about the contacts but haven't seen proof of collusion between the campaign and the Russian security apparatus, the reports say.
Law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the calls at the same time as they investigated Russia's attempts to tamper with the presidential election, according to The New York Times, which first reported the contacts.
According to CNN, "The communications were intercepted during routine intelligence collection targeting Russian officials and other Russian nationals known to U.S. intelligence."
Both CNN and the Times cite multiple current and former U.S. officials as the sources for their stories.
Reporter Matt Apuzzo, part of the Times team that broke the story, tells NPR's Morning Edition that while officials said they haven't seen proof of collusion — "just the flurry of contacts was enough, and the timing of the contacts, was enough to get them very concerned."
U.S. agencies are still working to determine the reasons behind the contacts, officials tell both news outlets.
President Trump called the reports "conspiracy theories" early Wednesday, in response to the stories:
"The fake news media is going crazy with their conspiracy theories and blind hatred," the president wrote. He then added that MSNBC and CNN are "unwatchable," while the Fox News program Fox & Friends "is great."
The Kremlin had a similar response, with Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying, "Let us not believe in what media say, for nowadays it is very difficult to tell actual news from fake ones."
That's according to state-run Tass media, which adds that Peskov also criticized the use of anonymous sources by the media.
Allegations about Trump's involvement with Russia have ranged from reports last month of a dossier that alleged collusion between the then-candidate and Russian President Vladimir Putin to a public call from the candidate himself last July, when he urged Russian agents to "find" Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's emails and release them.
The FBI has been investigating contacts between Trump aides and Russia; in Congress, there are also calls for public investigations. Last month, the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence announced it would investigate allegations that Russia meddled in the U.S. elections.
But there is resistance among Republicans in Congress to go after one of their own, particularly as the new president is settling into the White House.
Republican Rep. Mike Johnson of Louisiana, who's on the House Judiciary Committee, tells Morning Edition, "I don't think we need an independent investigation here, I think we need to let the Intelligence and the Judiciary committees do their work."
That work, he said, includes receiving classified briefings about the new allegations. Johnson also raised questions about leaks in the government — particularly of information that's drawn from surveillance that swept up the communications of U.S. citizens.
"There are some serious legal implications here," Johnson said, "but it has nothing to do with partisan politics. I mean, the leak of highly classified information by what is apparent here — a number of individuals inside our intelligence community — is the illegal act that I think we need to review."
Johnson also faulted intelligence agencies for not doing more to protect the identity of Americans — such as former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn — whose communications with a foreign national were monitored.
New reports of contacts between the Trump campaign and Russia follow the exit of a third member of Donald Trump's inner circle in the past 12 months amid allegations of inappropriate contact with the country:
Michael Flynn resigned as national security adviser this week over the handling of his contacts with Russia's ambassador to the U.S.;
Paul Manafort, resigned as Trump's campaign chairman last August amid reports of his attempts to align Trump's policies with Russian interests;
Carter Page removed himself as a foreign policy adviser last September, as reports emerged about a visit to Russia and other potential contacts.
Manafort and Flynn were among the senior Trump team members who were "regularly communicating with Russian nationals," CNN reports.
In an interview with the Times, Manafort called the officials' account "absurd" and said he had never had anything to do with Putin's government.
Manafort told the newspaper, "It's not like these people wear badges that say, 'I'm a Russian intelligence officer.'"


Question: Ghana spoils Nishino's debut, beats Japan 2-0 in friendly

YOKOHAMA, Japan — Akira Nishino made his debut as Japan coach on Wednesday in a 2-0 loss to Ghana.
In steady rain at Nissan Stadium, Thomas Partey gave Ghana a 1-0 lead in the ninth minute with free kick from the top of the area. Emmanuel Boateng doubled the advantage from the penalty spot in the 51st.
Nishino, who will name his World Cup squad on Thursday, brought in substitutes Shinji Kagawa and Shinji Ozaki in the second half when Japan created more chances but was unable to beat Ghana goalkeeper Richard Ofori.
"We had chances but couldn't capitalize so it's a disappointing result," Nishino said. "I'm still considering many factors before tomorrow's announcement."
After only two weeks working with his players, Nishino opted for experience with defenders Tomoaki Makino, Makoto Hasebe and Maya Yoshida in front of goalkeeper Eiji Kawashima.
Also in the starting 11 was veteran Keisuke Honda, who played at right forward alongside Takashi Usami and Yuya Osako. Honda nearly scored midway through the first half but his angled shot from close range was denied by Ofori.
Japan fired Vahid Halilhodzic last month, only two months before the World Cup opens, and replaced him with Nishino.
In two World Cup warm-up matches, Japan will face Switzerland on June 8 in Lugano, Switzerland, and Paraguay on June 12 in Innsbruck, Austria.
Japan will play in Group H at the World Cup with Colombia, Poland and Senegal in its sixth straight World Cup. It has only twice reached the knockout round, losing both times in the last 16.

(Reuters) - World Cup hosts Russia continued their miserable run when they slipped to a 1-0 defeat in Austria on Wednesday and Japan suffered a blow when they lost 2-0 at home Ghana in coach Akira Nishino’s first game in charge.

Defeat for the Russians came after a poor seven-month period in which they failed to win in six consecutive games, conceding 10 goals in their last four matches.
Alessandro Schopf scored the only goal midway through the first half after good work by Marko Arnautovic and Stanislav Cherchesov’s Russian team looked short of quality throughout.
Sergei Ignashevich returned to the starting side after a two-year absence but did little to improve their defensive woes.
Ignashevich became the oldest player to appear for Russia at 38 years and 320 days, surpassing ex-Soviet Union keeper Lev Yashin, who played his last international at 37 years and 267 days.

Russia, who failed to get past the World Cup group stage in 1994, 2002 and 201, are in a relatively weak-looking Group A alongside Saudi Arabia, Uruguay and Egypt.
New-look Japan suffered a 2-0 home defeat by Ghana to leave new coach Nishino with tough decisions to make less than three weeks before their first match in Russia.
The Blue Samurai will open their World Cup Group H campaign against Colombia on June 19. Poland and Senegal are the other teams in their group.

Nishino deployed a new formation with three central defenders, two wing-backs and two inside forwards supporting a lone striker.
However, Ghana captain Thomas Partey scored and debutant Emmanuel Boateng converted a penalty to ensure a miserable night for Japan in front of 64,520 fans at a rain-soaked Nissan Stadium in Yokohama.
“Having not played a game at home in half a year, we absolutely wanted a good game just before the World Cup,” Nishino said.
“We gave it a good try, but the result is disappointing. We had chances but couldn’t capitalize.”
Nishino will name his World Cup squad on Thursday before warm-up games against Switzerland on June 8 and Paraguay four days later.
There was good news for Egypt who are hopeful that forward Mohamed Salah will have recovered from his shoulder injury in time to play in their final World Cup group game.
“The (Egyptian) football association confirms once again ... Salah will be in the World Cup, God willing, and won’t be absent for more than three weeks,” the Egyptian FA said.

Question: Saudi Arabia to allow movie theaters after decades of ban

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) — Saudi Arabia announced on Monday it will allow movie theaters to open in the conservative kingdom next year, for the first time in more than 35 years, in the latest social push by the country’s young crown prince.
Movie theaters were shut down in the 1980’s during a wave of ultraconservatism in the country. Many of Saudi Arabia’s clerics view Western movies and even Arabic films made in Egypt as sinful.
However, since Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman ascended to power under his father, King Salman, he has pushed for greater social openings such as lifting a ban on women driving next year and bringing back concerts and other forms of entertainment to satiate the desires of the country’s majority young population. The 32-year-old heir to the throne has also sought ways to boost local spending and create jobs amid lower oil prices.
According to Monday’s announcement, a resolution was passed paving the way for licenses to be granted to commercial movie theaters, with the first cinemas expected to open in March 2018.
Saudi filmmakers and movie buffs have been able to circumvent traditional censors by streaming movies online and watching films on satellite TV. Many also travel to neighboring countries like Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates to go to movie theaters.
Despite there being no movie theaters in Saudi Arabia, young Saudi filmmakers have received government support and recognition in recent years.
The government has backed a Saudi film festival that’s taken place for the past few years in the eastern city of Dhahran. This year, some 60 Saudi films were screened.
The film “Wadjda” made history in 2013 by becoming the first Academy Award entry for Saudi Arabia, though it wasn’t nominated for the Oscars. The movie follows the story of a 10-year-old girl who dreams of having a bicycle, just like boys have in her ultraconservative neighborhood where men and women are strictly segregated and where boys and girls attend separate schools. The film was written and directed by Saudi female director Haifaa al-Mansour, who shot the film entirely in the kingdom.
Also, the Saudi film “Barakah Meets Barakah”, by director Mahmoud Sabbagh, made its premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in February. The movie, which has been called the kingdom’s first romantic comedy, tells the story of a civil servant who falls for a Saudi girl whose Instagram posts have made her a local celebrity.
Though four years apart, the two films tackle the issue of gender segregation in Saudi Arabia, which remains largely enforced.
It was not immediately clear if movie theaters would have family-only sections, segregating women and families from the male-only audience. Another unknown was whether most major Hollywood, Bollywood and Arabic movie releases would be shown in theaters and how heavily edited the content will be.
The Ministry of Culture and Information did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The government says it will announce regulations in the coming weeks.
The Saudi government says the opening of movie theaters will contribute more than 90 billion riyals ($24 billion) to the economy and create more than 30,000 jobs by 2030. The kingdom says there will be 300 cinemas with around 2,000 screens built in the country by 2030.

Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman attends a press conference with French President Emmanuel Macron (not pictured) at the Elysee Palace in Paris Thomson Reuters DUBAI (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's Cabinet on Tuesday approved a measure criminalizing sexual harassment, the state news agency SPA reported, weeks before a decades-old ban on women driving is set to expire.
The legislation, which awaits an expected royal decree to become law, is the latest in a series of reforms that Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman has initiated in a bid to modernize the deeply conservative Muslim kingdom.
Prince Mohammed is also trying to diversify the Arab world's largest economy away from oil exports and open up Saudis' cloistered lifestyles by easing strict social rules and promoting entertainment.
The anti-harassment measure, which was approved on Monday by the Shura Council advisory body, introduces a jail sentence of up to five years and a 300,000 riyals ($80,000) fine.
"(The legislation) aims at combating the crime of harassment, preventing it, applying punishment against perpetrators and protecting the victims in order to safeguard the individual's privacy, dignity and personal freedom which are guaranteed by Islamic law and regulations," a statement from the Shura Council said.
Last year's decision to end the ban on women driving cars, set to take effect on June 24, has been hailed as proof of a progressive trend in the kingdom.
But earlier this month, authorities arrested nearly a dozen women's rights campaigners who had previously agitated for the right to drive and an end to the kingdom's male guardianship system.

Question: 13-year-old alternate Pano bails on U.S. Women's Open

With the Shoal Creek course in Alabama drenched by Subtropical Storm Alberto, 13-year-old alternate Alexa Pano has given up hope of playing in this week’s U.S. Women’s Open.

The course was closed on Wednesday, with lightning in the area, and access had been limited all week prior. Nearly four inches of rain has deluged the course over the past several days, with Tuesday’s practice round closed to fans and all non-essential personnel.
The extremely wet conditions have made it tough for players to get out for practice rounds and downright impossible for South Florida phenom Pano, who — as the second alternate — had to give way to established players.
Her father, Rick Pano, said they had decided to leave on Wednesday rather than wait for a chance to play a course his daughter hasn’t even been able to practice on.
“We’d figured to come here and, at worst, experience what few 13-year-olds have, to prepare and practice in the top women’s championship in the world, hoping for a withdrawal,” Rick Pano said, via The Global Golf Post. “But we have made the decision to leave here (Wednesday) as there is one alternate ahead of Alexa. And even if she got a call, she’d go out on this course blind. That one is impossible.”
Two-time U.S. Women’s Open champion and No. 1-ranked Inbee Park called it the wettest conditions she has ever seen at the event. Many players got a practice round in on Monday and the practice facilities were opened Tuesday afternoon.

Question: GOP Health Care Law Could Cost Nearly 1 Million Jobs, Report Finds

Represent this text to find a news title for it

The American Health Care Act, the GOP’s answer to Obamacare, could end up costing the U.S. economy close to 1 million jobs, researchers predicted Wednesday.
The bill, if passed as written by the House of Representatives, would start out boosting jobs and increasing economic output because it would cut taxes, the team at George Washington and The Commonwealth Fund found.
But that would change fast, the experts forecast.
“The AHCA would initially cause a brief spurt of economic growth from tax cuts, which primarily help those with high incomes,” said Leighton Ku, director of the Center for Health Policy Research at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at GW, who led the study team.
“However, cuts in funding for Medicaid and health subsidies then begin to deepen, triggering sharp job losses and broad disruption of state economies in the following years,” Ku added.
“Within a decade, almost a million fewer people would have jobs. The downturn would hit the health care sector and states that expanded Medicaid the hardest.”
Related: Here's What the AHCA Would Do
Health care has added an average 22,000 jobs a month so far in 2017, compared to an average monthly gain of 32,000 in 2016,” the Bureau of Labor Statistics said in its May statement. That adds up to 329,000 jobs over the past year.
Changes in total and health care employment due to the American Health Care Act, 2018 to 2026 George Washington University analysis
The more people who have health insurance, the more health care they seek.
The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office projected last month that the AHCA would lead to 23 million people losing or opting out of health insurance by 2026 and would cut federal spending on health care by $1.1 trillion.
“Our estimates are based on changes in federal funding gained or lost to states, consumers, and businesses,” Wednesday's report reads.
“The AHCA significantly reduces federal funding for Medicaid. It lowers federal match funding for the 31 states and District of Columbia that expanded Medicaid, encouraging them to discontinue their expansions.”
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services, part of the U.S. Health and Human Services Department, has a much lower projection for how many people would lose or drop insurance. The CMS actuary calculates that 13 million fewer people would be covered in 2026 under the AHCA.
Related: Will Obamacare Repeal Cost Millions of Jobs?
Health care jobs are an enormous part of the U.S. economy — making for 18 percent of the total Gross Domestic Product or GDP. Hospitals, clinics, doctors and health care services are major sources of jobs, too.
The Senate is working on its own version of the AHCA and it would have to be reconciled with the House version. There’s been little information out of the Senate about what changes are planned for its version, which is being written entirely by the Republican majority.
Conservatives want to reduce federal spending to lower the deficit. Ku and colleagues note that will hit jobs on the state level.
“Federal health funds are used to purchase health care. Then, fiscal effects ripple out through the rest of the economy, creating employment and other economic growth. This phenomenon is called the multiplier effect,” the report reads.
“Health funds directly pay hospitals, doctors’ offices, and other providers; this is the direct effect of federal funding. These facilities use revenue to pay their employees and buy goods and services, such as rent or equipment; this is the indirect effect of the initial spending.”
Related: U.S. Health Spending Grew Especially Fast Last Year
When people spend less money, jobs can be lost.
That would happen in 2018 in 17 states, the report predicted.
By 2026 the 10 biggest losers would be:
New York (86,000 jobs lost)
Pennsylvania (85,000)
Florida (83,000)
Michigan (51,000)
Illinois (46,000)
New Jersey (42,000)
Ohio (42,000)
North Carolina (41,000)
California (32,000)
Tennessee (28,000)
“The Affordable Care Act enabled the U.S. to make substantial gains in health insurance coverage and led to nationwide improvements in health care access and affordability for millions of people,” said Commonwealth’s Sara Collins.
“The deep coverage losses projected under the American Health Care Act would be damaging both to the health of Americans and the state economies in which they work.”
The same team at Commonwealth and GW made similar predictions in January.
Either way, health care spending is likely to grow. CMS projected last February that health care spending will grow by an average of 5.6 percent a year over the next decade. The CMS report released Wednesday projects that health spending would account for 19.9 percent of GDP in 2026.

Question: B.C. Liberals elect new leader today as party rebuilds after 16 years in power

VANCOUVER – A sometimes bruising leadership campaign ends today in Vancouver for British Columbia’s Liberals as they elect a new leader who will be tasked with returning the party to power after a 16-year term in office that ended last summer.
An estimated 60,000 party members were eligible to vote online and by phone to replace Christy Clark, who resigned after the New Democrats formed a minority government with the support of the Green party following a non-confidence vote that brought down the Liberals.

Sam Sullivan, a former Vancouver mayor, was appointed to cabinet in the dying days of Clark’s government last summer.
The field also includes Michael Lee, a Vancouver lawyer who was elected to the legislature last spring, and Dianne Watts, a former Conservative MP and one-time mayor of Surrey.

VANCOUVER—Former B.C. premier Christy Clark has taken a job with the Canadian law firm Bennett Jones and will work as an advisor in the firm’s governmental affairs and public policy team. Clark is not a lawyer but has been hired for “her vision on driving growth through trade,” according to the firm’s CEO, Hugh MacKinnon.

“Vancouver is a thriving market and a strategic focus for Bennett Jones,” MacKinnon stated in a press release. The firm says it is “well equipped to advise foreign businesses and investors with Canadian ventures, and connect Canadian businesses and investors with opportunities around the world.” As premier from 2011 to 2016, Clark pushed to build a new liquified natural gas industry in B.C. and attempted to strengthen trade ties with Asia. She said she will continue to work on those files at Bennett Jones.

Clark resigned after the fall of her government following the May 2017 provincial election. Her business-focused B.C. Liberal party had governed for 16 years, but they failed to win a firm majority and were toppled by the B.C. NDP supported by the Green Party. Clark joins a host of other former politicians who now work at Bennett Jones, including former deputy prime minister Anne McLellan, former federal cabinet minister John Baird, and former Bank of Canada governor David Dodge.

Question: TreeVilla at Forest Hills / Architecture BRIO

From the architect. The Tree Villa perches on the cliff of a 160 acre hilltop 'treesort' property surrounded by a meandering river landscape. The idyllic setting in Tala on the West coast of India, is a stone’s throw away from the Kuda caves. Nearly 20 centuries ago, Buddhist monks instinctively understood the qualities of this meditative landscape and made the hills their home. The Tree Villa was conceived as a celebration of this landscape by creating a series of blurred transitional spaces with different levels of transparency and openness within this forested tropical setting.
Upon arrival, a timber bridge takes the visitor off the forest floor on to a large stilted deck that wraps around the house and culminates on a viewing platform. The constant reminder of breathtaking views enhances a reflective ambience that is mirrored throughout the house.
The architectural elements of the house have been carefully curated, each conveying a message of its own: the bathroom enclosure is crafted out of vertical timber slats filled in with mirrored panels that reflect the surrounding forest and the other forms occupying the space.
They are abstractly reminiscent of tree branches that droop, giving nature opportunities to peek through within a constantly animated shadow play of hide and seek.
The horizontal openness and airiness of the large voluminous space below a dominating thatched roof is emphasized by wrapping it with a layer of operable glass. The curved corners of this glazed wooden framework display a panoramic exhibit of nature. The curves create a sensual kind of luxury and bring softness to the space. A second layer of a tie dyed bordered sheer curtains filters the harsh light during the midst of the day and nestles three other enclosures as well.
The villa accommodates 4 adults and 2 children. The functions included provide for two double beds, a loft bed for children, two bathrooms, a lounge, a place for breakfast or paying board games with an outdoor deck and a large viewing deck. Rather than compartmentalizing those activities into distinct rooms, the main space is broken up by three smaller enclosures that are positioned within it, ensuring a visual connection to the forest in multiple directions from all rooms: a pantry-cum-loft unit, a semi-outdoor bathroom and a curtained bed enclosure act as anchors and define interstitial zones such as the breakfast room and the lounge. The free flowing circulation in between creates visual permeability across the plan.
As smaller spaces within a larger space, the bathroom and pantry-cum-loft are enclosures made out of a wooden slatted framework and filled in with white plexiglass.
The pantry unit contains all the services of the room and a small kitchenette. The top of the unit is accessed with a wooden ladder and provides an additional bed. Looking down on the surrounding forest it is almost like a ‘pirates nest’, a great cozy hideout for young kids.
The enclosure of the semi-outdoor bathroom encloses an outdoor courtyard but also protrudes into the glazed interior space. An old Garuga fruit tree punctures the floor of the outdoor bathroom. One branch enters the room and exits again through the thatched roof. Other branches spread across the outdoor bathroom before exiting through multiple circular openings in the enclosure. A free standing bath tub and the indoor-outdoor feel of the space make it an ideal relaxed setting.
A large luxurious king size bed within a soft linen fabric enclosure can be open or closed off depending on demands of privacy.
A spiral staircase connects to a secret lower level that is suspended below the tree villa. This guest suite is on one side backed by a rock outcrop and on the other side surrounded by a thick forest. You can take a shower here with merely a curved glazed sheet separating you and the forest life around you. A timber floored outdoor deck and attached staircase invites you to take a hike in the forest.
Elements and textures as parts of the structure are focused on coexistence. The monochrome colour scheme of the space along with an eclectic mix of partly restored and partly custom designed furniture pieces give the interior a bohemian vibe. The restraint in the colour palette highlights the surrounding greenery.
Similarly, the crispness of geometry and the slender proportions the enclosures are a premeditated effort to amplify this untempered wilderness.
The volumetric compositions of partly white, partly reflective and transparent surfaces within a wooden framework animate and lighten up the space. It questions conventional definitions of exterior and interior and reinterprets notions of privacy and exposure within a hospitality environment. The spatial composition in an otherwise traditional tropical roof structure lends a sense of softness, sensuality, intimacy and complexity, making it a perfect setting for a retreat into the wilderness of Tala.

Question: Former champions Serbia and Switzerland knocked out in Davis Cup first round

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

(Reuters) - The United States surged to an unbeatable 3-0 lead to eliminate 2010 champions Serbia in the first round of the Davis Cup on Saturday.
Joining Serbia at the exit were 2014 winners Switzerland, who were also overwhelmed 3-0 by Kazakhstan after failing to mount much of a challenge in the absence of 20-times grand slam champion Roger Federer.
Holding a 2-0 lead after Friday’s singles, Americans Ryan Harrison and Steve Johnson came from a set down to beat Nikola Milojevic and Miljan Zekic 6-7(3) 6-2 7-5 6-4 in front of a partisan Serbian crowd.
“We are thrilled to be in the quarter-finals and most likely a home tie,” U.S. captain Jim Courier, whose side will take on Belgium or Hungury, told reporters.
“That would be nice, it would give these guys a chance to play back in the U.S. as we have played the last two on the road, so we are looking forward to that opportunity.”

Holders France need one more victory on Sunday to progress to the quarter-finals after Pierre Hugues Herbert and Nicolas Mahut earned them a 2-1 lead over the Netherlands following a 7-6(6) 6-3 6-7(3) 7-6(2) victory over Robin Haase and Jean-Julien Rojer in almost 3-1/2 hours in Albertville.
Belgium, finalists last year, slipped up against Hungary after winning both of Friday’s singles matches. Attila Balazs and Marton Fucsovics kept Hungary’s chances alive with a 6-3 6-4 6-7(2) 4-6 7-5 win over Ruben Bemelmans and Joris De Loore in Liege.

Croatia mounted a superb comeback in their tie against Canada, with world number three Marin Cilic and Ivan Dodlig roaring back from two sets down to eke out a 2-6 3-6 6-4 7-5 6-2 win over Daniel Nestor and Vasek Pospisil for a 2-1 lead.
The Spanish pairing of Feliciano Lopez and Pablo Carreno Busta comfortably beat Britain’s Jamie Murray and Dominic Inglot 6-4 6-4 7-6(4) to give them a 2-1 lead.
Italy grabbed a 2-1 advantage over Japan, while Germany also stood one win away from a last eight place after beating Australia in the doubles.
Kazakhstan became the first team to reach the quarter-finals after Timur Khabibulin and Aleksandr Nedovyesov secured a 6-4 6-4 3-6 6-7(5) 6-3 win over Marc-Andrea Huesler and Luca Margaroli.
