Question: Uber improves conditions for British drivers, adds tips

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

LONDON (Reuters) - Taxi app Uber will improve conditions for its British drivers with changes including in-app tipping, after criticism from lawmakers and unions for not giving them more rights.
Drivers for Uber [UBER.UL], food courier Deliveroo and other apps tend to work for a number of firms without a fixed contract in what has become known as the "gig economy".
Uber said on Monday it had held meetings and spoken to thousands of them as part of its attempts to improve conditions for its more than 50,000 drivers.
The company promised improvements in July after a government review said those working for such apps, who are mainly self-employed, deserved more rights.
"While drivers have told us they love the freedom of being their own boss, we’ve also clearly heard that we need to make improvements," Uber's UK General Manager Jo Bertram said.
Users will be able to tip drivers via the app rather than just in cash, have to pay 20 pence ($0.26) per minute for making drivers wait after an initial two-minute period and the free cancellation period will be cut from five to two minutes.
Uber said it will make its ratings system fairer and allow drivers to turn down riders they do not wish to take more quickly, which will make it faster for them find a new ride.

Uber is finally working to change one of the app’s most controversial features.
The firm has long been criticized for providing drivers with trip histories that reveal too much data, including riders' exact drop-off and pickup addresses, which can be viewed again at any time in the future.
Now, Uber is planning to launch a pilot program that will limit the information drivers see, instead showing a more general location area, according to Gizmodo.

The firm will test out the new privacy feature on a smaller scale before rolling it out officially in a few months.
But, an Uber spokesperson clarified to Gizmodo, ‘we fully intend on making this a default setting.’
In the past, Uber riders have expressed their concerns over the potential for detailed location logs to be used maliciously.
Even if a rider deletes their account and data, the driver can still access the information in the trip history, Gizmodo notes.
The upcoming pilot program comes as part of Uber’s ongoing efforts to tighten its privacy measures to make the service safer for both riders and drivers.
A screenshot of the system Uber is preparing to test shows drivers will no longer see a location dot marking a precise address from a past trip.
Instead, they’ll be shown a large red circle that encompasses a broader area.
‘Location data is our most sensitive information, and we are doing everything we can do to protect privacy around it,’ an Uber spokesperson told Gizmodo.
‘The new design provides enough information for drivers to identify past trips for customer support issues or earning disputes without granting them ongoing access to rider addresses.’

Uber overhauled its Driver app this month to incorporate feedback from the drivers themselves.
The move comes after the firm rolled out nearly 40 new features as part of its ’180 Days of Change’ to facilitate a better driver experience.
And, the firm unveiled a number of new safety features to protect both drivers and riders.
WHAT IS UBER'S '180 DAYS OF CHANGE'? After the departure of CEO Travis Kalanick in June, Uber launched a '180 Days of Change' initiative to improve the driver experience. For the first phase - focused on earnings - the company deployed an in-app tipping option. So far, drivers have collected $50 million in tips in about a month. Lyft - which has had in-app tipping for years - only hit $250 million in tips last month. Next, Uber rolled out 24/7 support for drivers - 200,000 calls to the line have been made in less than 30 days. For the third phase of the initiative, Uber is focusing on driver flexibility. Uber launched its '180 days of change' initiative in October as part of its effort to improve the company's relationship with drivers. It first introduced tipping for drivers Drivers can set up to six destinations per day, meaning Uber will only offer rides along that route. This will allow drivers to do pickups on their way home or to other personal destinations without ending up in destinations out of their way - previously drivers could only set two per day. Uber also enacted new waiting time charges that will be applied to users who keep drivers waiting at the start of a journey. Next, Uber will give drivers more flexibility when it comes to what types of pickups they want - they can select just UberX and no deliveries, for example) The firm will also start notifying drivers if a ride will take more than 45 minutes so they can decide if they want to take a long trip.
Starting this summer, the Uber app will contain a ‘Safety Center’ to provide a breakdown of the safety features available to them.
Riders will also be given the option to list up to five friends and family members as Trusted contacts, with whom trip details will be shared during rides.
The app will also contain an emergency button, so riders have instant access to 911 if needed.
Uber is testing the feature in pilot cities to begin with, starting in Denver.

Question: First Successful Heart Transplant: This Week in History

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Milestone moments do not a year make. Often, it’s the smaller news stories that add up, gradually, to big history. With that in mind, in 2017 TIME History will revisit the entire year of 1967, week by week, as it was reported in the pages of TIME. Catch up on last week’s installment here.
Week 50: Dec. 15, 1967
It was a medical breakthrough generations in the making. For as long as doctors had understood the crucial role of the heart, they had dreamed of using transplants to save people whose heart problems would otherwise doom them to death. Earlier attempts, especially before the discovery of blood types, had failed. Now, in late 1967, there were suddenly not one but two real-life examples to point to.
Though one of the operations (a transplant between babies, in Brooklyn) failed, the other — performed in South Africa by Dr. Christiaan Barnard on Dec. 3, 1967 — actually worked. They were able to successfully transplant a heart donated by the family of Denise Ann Darvall, a young woman killed by a speeding car, to a man named Louis Washkansky, a grocer with progressive heart failure who had been given weeks to live. Barnard and his team had, as TIME put it, “reached the surgical equivalent of Mount Everest, followed automatically by the medical equivalent of the problem of how to get down — in other words, how to keep the patient and transplant alive.”
Here’s how TIME described the surgery itself:
Though Denise Darvall’s heart had stopped beating and she was dead, her heart could not be allowed to degenerate. Irreparable cell damage begins at the temperature of a naturally cooling cadaver in 30 minutes. It can be postponed for two to three hours by cooling. The Barnard team took no chances. By this time, Denise’s body was in an operating room a few feet from the operating room in which Washkansky lay. A surgeon opened her chest by a midline incision, snipped some ribs and exposed the heart with its attached blood vessels. Near the arch of the aorta (see diagram) he inserted a plastic catheter tube, which was connected to a heart-lung machine. Another catheter, similarly connected, went into the right auricle. At this point, the whole body was perfused with oxygenated blood. The surgeons then clamped the aorta beyond the catheter and clamped the pulmonary artery and venae cavae, thus isolating the heart from the rest of the body, which thereafter received no circulation. With the heart-lung machine set at a low flow rate, the heart continued to have oxygenated blood pumped through it. And it was cooled to 73° F. Meanwhile, Pathologist M. C. Botha was working in his laboratory with a sample of Denise’s blood. Washkansky’s type was A-positive; Denise’s was O-negative. She was the ideal “universal donor.” There was no time for Dr. Botha to try matching their white blood cells so that the surgeons could estimate how strong a rejection reaction Washkansky’s system would mount against the foreign protein of Denise’s heart. Simultaneously, Washkansky was anesthetized, and at 2:15 a.m. Sunday one of the surgeons opened his chest. Assisting Christiaan Barnard, in addition to his brother Marius, were Drs. Rodney Hewitson and Terry O’Donovan. The main blood vessels were clamped in much the same way as Denise’s had been, but in this case the heart-lung machine was to serve a directly opposite purpose: to circulate oxygenated blood through all of Washkansky’s body except his about-to-be-discarded heart. Exercising the captain’s prerogative, Dr. Christiaan Barnard moved into the first operating room and cut eight blood vessels to free Denise Darvall’s heart; then he severed it from its ligament moorings. It was disconnected from the pump, and was carried to Washkansky’s room, where it was connected to a small-capacity heart-lung machine. There it lay, chilled and perfused with oxygenated blood, while Surgeon Barnard removed most—but not quite all —of Washkansky’s heart. He left in place part of the outer walls of both the auricles, the right carrying the two entrance holes of the venae cavae, the left carrying the four entrance holes of the pulmonary veins. The rest of the heart, flabby and scarred, he set aside. In painstaking sequence, Dr. Barnard stitched the donor heart in place. First the left-auricle, then the right. He joined the stub of Denise’s aorta to Washkansky’s, her pulmonary artery to his. Finally, the veins. Assistant surgeons removed the catheters from the implant as Barnard worked. Now, almost four hours after the first incision, history’s first transplanted human heart was in place. But it had not been beating since Denise died. Would it work? Barnard stepped back and ordered electrodes placed on each side of the heart and the current (25 watt-seconds) applied. The heart leaped at the shock and began a swift beat. Dr. Barnard’s heart leaped too. Through his mask, he exclaimed unprofessionally but pardonably, “Christ, it’s going to work!” Work it did.
This amazing medical advance raised a new kind of moral and ethical problem. The need to keep the donor heart healthy enough might require keeping it beating after the donor’s brain and other bodily functions ceased, which would mean that the surgeons were in one sense killing the donor. Still, the life-saving potential of the operation, and the goal of eventually achieving success with an artificial heart, made the news something to celebrate. The patient, Washkansky, died a few weeks later — from illness compounded by the immune-suppression drugs he was on to avoid rejecting the new heart — but the transplant itself is still considered a success.

White House wedding: As first daughter Lynda Bird Johnson wed Marine Captain Charles Spittal Robb at the White House, TIME noted that the gifts they received included “a $6,770 silver tea and coffee service from the Washington diplomatic corps, a nest of teak tables from Chiang Kaishek, a color sketch of Eeyore by Winnie-the-Pooh Illustrator Ernest Shepard (Lynda is a Pooh buff), and—from Republican Senate Minority Leader Everett McKinley Dirksen, of course—a small silver elephant.”
Generation gap: This week’s TIME Essay looks at the state of the American parent at a paradoxical moment in history: young people appeared to be breaking away from their homes and parents, becoming a generation of the disillusioned, and yet by many objective measures young Americans “work harder, think deeper, love more and even look better than any previous generation.” Though the story certainly indulges in ideas about families that are now out of date (for example, tsk-tsking at mothers who are “preoccupied” with their the parts of their lives that weren’t about the children), it also takes a rather modern approach to finding solutions, encouraging communication between parents and children as the most important element in a healthy family.
Criminal justice concerns: A grand-jury investigation of conditions in Chicago’s Cook County Jail resulted in an unusual level of exposure for the terrible “catalogue of depravity” faced by those who were held even for relatively minor and nonviolent crimes. This year, ProPublica Illinois launched an investigation into the very same jail, which remains notorious.
Guess Who: TIME’s movie critic took on Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner this week, a timely story in the year when the Supreme Court legalized interracial marriage. Though the movie would win two Oscars (and be nominated for several more, including Best Picture), the review was middling, calling it one of producer Stanley Kramer’s “cinematic bouquets of platitudes about important-sounding social issues” and focusing on its standing as Spencer Tracy’s final film — he died a few weeks after filming wrapped — rather than what it said about society.
Great vintage ad: A reminder from the post office that readers in 1967 still had to be told how to find out their own zip codes.

Question: Sisters In Spirit Vigil commemorates missing and murdered Indigenous women

By Tianna Reno
The evening opened with a welcome song and a minute of silence. People lit lanterns and handed out smudge kits with sage to burn. Community members were gathered to commemorate the families and lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women (MMIW) at a vigil on Wednesday, Oct. 4.
The annual Sisters in Spirit Vigil was hosted by the Native Women’s Resource Centre Toronto (NWRCT) at Allan Gardens, as part of a nationwide event. The Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) equity centres also participated in the event, including the Centre for Women and Trans People and the Racialised Students Collective.
The date commemorates the lives of the nearly 1,200 MMIW and represents a movement for social change.
Cyndy Baskin, a Ryerson associate professor in the school of social work, lost her daughter in May 2013. She said she believes in these vigils as they help Indigenous families voice their needs and “heal through their own sharing”.
Baskin is of Mi’kmaq and Celtic Nations of the Fish Clan and is known as the Woman Who Passes on the Teachings. She is also board president of the NWRCT. She questioned the transparency of the National Inquiry into MMIW and its role in integrating policing in their process.
“There is no focus on policing in this inquiry … we all are well aware that policing and the justice system has participated in this violence towards our women and girls,” Baskin said.
The National Inquiry into MMIW was launched in 2016 to examine and report on systemic causes of violence against Indigenous women and girls.
“How are we actually supposed to trust this process if we don’t know what’s going on,” she said.
Stephanie Latty, a PhD student in social justice education at the University of Toronto, attended the vigil as an ally.
Latty said she came to show her support because she believes events like these are not getting enough attention.
“I wish everybody in Toronto were here tonight to hold space … and more of a supportive role in these issues,” she said.
The number of Sisters In Spirit Vigils have increased from 11 in 2006 to 216 in 2014, and are still growing to date, according to the Native Women’s Association of Canada.
Denise Booth, an Indigenous and community engagement coordinator at the Toronto Birth Centre, lost her niece to violence. She said there were many allies from different backgrounds in attendance that evening, although that hasn’t always been the case.
“[Before,] the only faces staring back at me were Indigenous faces. There [weren’t] a lot of dominant cultures standing with us and it’s important they come out to this event.”
Booth said it’s important to honour all Indigenous people that have been taken away from their family. “Not just sisters, our trans and two-spirited people as well.”

People have told Stephanie Killman that the pain of losing a loved one can fade with time, but she and her sisters, Harmony and Alicia have felt it everyday since their mother’s murder last November.

People have told Stephanie Killman that the pain of losing a loved one can fade with time, but she and her sisters, Harmony and Alicia have felt it everyday since their mother’s murder last November.
“I was the one who found her —it was the worst day of my life.”
Her mother, Treena Marie Ball, 46 was found dead in her home on November 18, 2016. The body of her partner, Don Wayne Ball, 68, was also found in the house. According to an RCMP report a single firearm was used and the incident was confirmed by RCMP as a “murder-suicide,” and there was no evidence to indicate third party involvement.
“I knew the minute I got there that something wasn’t right. I walked into the house and I was calling and calling and no one was answering,” Killman recalled.
As the only family member with an extra set of keys to her mother’s Spruce Crescent home in Enderby, Killman, 27, said she went to the house that day because her stepfather’s kids asked her to “check on things” after learning he hadn’t shown up for work that morning.
“He killed her, and then himself. And we had no idea what had been going on—what would have led to that,” she said.
“We never saw them fighting or had any inkling that something might be wrong. But you never know what goes on behind closed doors.”
Alicia Killman, 29, echoed her younger sister, adding that as far as she knew, life at home had been “normal” for her mother, and she was happy.
“My mom was known around Enderby — everyone loved her,” Alicia said, “She was caring and thoughtful. She wore her heart on her sleeve, and people loved that about her. I loved that about her. I think her [funeral] was one of the biggest celebrations of life I had ever seen around here.”
Over the past year, Killman says she and her family have struggled to cope with the loss of their mother as they learn more about the events that led to her death.
“We heard later that she went to our band for help, to try and get out….It’s hard enough to put yourself in the vulnerable position of asking for help in a situation like that…I can’t imagine how she must have felt.”
Killman says she doesn’t feel comfortable describing the “horrific” scene that greeted her when she entered her mother’s home that day, but feels it’s important to share what she can in the hope that others will “learn something,” from her mother’s story, and take action.
“I’m still not really comfortable talking to people outside our circle of family and friends about what happened, but I’m trying because it’s important to get the message out into the world, not just our small community, that this stuff happens. That it’s real, and it doesn’t just happen where people think. It happens close to home.”
For the Killmans, part of getting their message out means participating in events like The Red Dress Walk for Awareness, an annual event held to raise awareness for the untold numbers of missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls across Canada. During these events members of the public are asked to wear a red dress or to display a red dress in a public place as a symbol of hope and an acknowledgement that missing and murdered women have not been forgotten.
In Enderby, the event took place Wednesday along the shore of the Shuswap River near the Enderby Bridge, and was attended by roughly 50 people. Deanna Cook, who has organized Enderby’s Red Dress Walk for the past two years, says in a small, close-knit community like hers, this particular subject hits close to home.
“In the last two years we have had five women taken from our community. Two were murdered and three are still missing in our community,” Cook said Wednesday morning, referring to Caitlin Potts, Ashley Simpson and Deanna Wertz.
“We have these events to remember those who are missing, and to remind people to keep looking for these women — people need to know that they will not be forgotten,” she said.
Caitlin Potts, 27, was last seen in February, 2016. The Cree mother from Alberta was reportedly in B.C., sorting out a troubled relationship with her ex-boyfriend when she went missing. B.C. RCMP released footage of the young woman entering Orchard Park Mall in Kelowna, from a surveillance video taken on Feb. 21, 2016. It’s the last time she was seen. Ashley Simpson, 27, was last seen on April 27 of last year. Deanna Wertz, 46,was last seen in the early morning of July 19, 2016 at her residence on Yankee Flats Road.
According to data published by the Native Women’s Association of Canada, Indigenous women made up three per cent of the country’s female population in 2008, but suffered roughly 10 per cent of all female homicides that year. More than half of the cases occurred in the western provinces, with British Columbia and Alberta home to the highest numbers.
This year, Cook added, Red Dress walks took on additional meaning against the backdrop of the hearings that took place at the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, held this summer.
While the Red Dress Project, on which the walk is based, was initially created seven years ago by Jaime Black, a Metis artist from Winnipeg, to draw attention to missing and murdered Indigenous women specifically, Cook says she has broadened the scope of Enderby’s walk to include “all women.”
“All women deserve to be safe in our communities,” she said. “We need to get the message that girls, all girls, need to stay safe. You can’t just walk down the road at night anymore. And we’re here trying to get the message out there that we should be able walk alone and not be afraid—that the way things are right now, is not OK.”

Question: RapidPlas Offers Livestock Watering Troughs and Packages

Due to the scorching temperatures of the summer and the forecast of another severe heat wave, Local Land Services (LLS) District Veterinarian teams throughout Australia warn livestock owners of the impact of high temperatures on their livestock.
[TAMWORTH, 30/5/2018] – With high temperatures in Australia continuing, livestock owners are advised by LLC vets to follow several techniques when handling livestock during the hot weather. This includes working with livestock in the early morning or in the evening when the temperature is cooler, and ensuring access to a sufficient amount of clean drinking water throughout the day.
The Impact of Humidity and Access to Water
Dr Jillian Kelly, Central West LLS Veterinarian, states that livestock owners should consider the impact of two important points, humidity during summer and access to water points.
If, for example, the temperature is 35°C and the humidity is 10 per cent, a sheep’s body temperature will reach an average 32°C; however, if the humidity reaches 50 per cent, a sheep’s temperature can increase to 41°C. According to Dr Kelly, this results to damage to body tissues and extreme danger of heat stress.
If the water in rivers or dams is at a low level, livestock will crowd on the water source, stepping in the water and leaving a concentration of animal waste. This contaminates the water and increases the chances of livestock becoming bogged down in mud. If other livestock notice that the water is dirty, they may reject it. Therefore, livestock owners are advised to consider other options such as installing fences around water points or pumping water to troughs.
Providing Quality Watering Troughs to Livestock
RapidPlas offers durable tanks and accessories that are suitable for livestock watering, including high-quality water troughs for horses, cattle and sheep. For livestock owners who are planning to set up their own livestock watering system, they can purchase RapidPlas’ cost-effective packages that are delivered to farms for free.
The company’s range of water troughs has rims with smooth sides, which are less abrasive for the animal’s legs. They provide long rectangular troughs and troughs that feature 360° access to accommodate larger numbers of animals. RapidPlas’ watering troughs provide cooler and cleaner water to keep livestock hydrated.
About RapidPlas
Established in 1990, RapidPlas is a family owned business that manufactures a range of agricultural, residential and commercial polyethylene products such as rainwater tanks, fertilser tanks, feed and water troughs and other animal care products.

Question: YY: Despite Slowing Revenue Growth, Long-Term Thesis Remains Intact

Investment thesis
Since the beginning of the year, shares of Chinese social media platform YY (YY) have experienced massive growth. A closer look at valuation reveals that the company is still considerably undervalued.
Corporate profile
YY is an online social entertainment platform that engages users through audio, video and text in a wide range of online group activities, such as music shows, live video streaming and multi-player gaming. Originally an online games web portal, the company has transformed itself into a multifaceted entertainment platform over the past decade. As stated on the company's website, almost all content on the YY platform is user-generated.
Many people in China still lack access to the internet
From a global perspective, China belongs to one of the most populous countries with still extremely low internet penetration rates. According to a recent study by China internet watch, as of July 2017, there were approximately 750 million internet users in China. This represents an internet penetration rate of 54.3 percent and more than 1 percentage point increase over the 2016 figure. Compared to the United States where almost 90 percent are connected to the internet, this represents a considerable opportunity for all local internet businesses.

Revenue growth has slowed down in recent years
Over the last three years, revenue growth has recorded a CAGR of 65 percent. This rate has however slowed to roughly 40 percent last year and only about 25 percent year-on-year quarterly revenue growth. Even though the decrease in revenue growth might continue, it is likely to stabilize as the business matures.
A stock Peter Lynch would buy
Based on Peter Lynch's earnings line, a famous valuation technique that helped the legendary investor to achieve an annualized return of 29 percent and the best 20-year return rate of any mutual fund in history, YY's shares seem to be currently considerably undervalued. Using the Fast Graphs forecasting calculator with 19 percent free cash flow growth assumption, the company's intrinsic value by the end of FY2022 is forecasted to reach $300 USD, which implies almost 27 percent total annualized rate of return upside potential.

DCF valuation
According to my simple DCF blended model, YY's shares are currently trading with roughly 54 percent upside potential. Under the perpetuity growth method, fair value of the stock is almost $142.4, assuming 25 percent revenue growth gradually decreasing by 2 percent annually over the next five years, steady annual EBIT margin of 25 percent and terminal growth rate in perpetuity of 2 percent. Under the EBITDA multiple approach, the intrinsic value stands at almost $125.3 if we assume that the appropriate exit EV/EBITDA multiple is around 10x.
The bottom line
Although YY's growth has slowed significantly in recent years, the company's shares still seem to trade below their fair value based on at least two popular valuation techniques. Based on Peter Lynch's earnings valuation technique, the company offers exceptional return potential. China and particularly its rural areas present an outstanding opportunity for all local internet players, YY including, and therefore continued growth can be expected.

Question: Melania Trump is not missing, but Twitter thinks otherwise

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump on the South Lawn of the White House upon their return from Joint Base Andrews in Maryland where they greeted three Americans just released by North Korea, May 10, 2018.
YURI GRIPAS / POOL/ EPA-EFE
The people wringing their hands about the whereabouts of first lady Melania Trump can calm down now: She tweeted for the first time in...uh...two days and said she's at the White House, feeling fine, thanks for asking.
But the worriers will probably keep on worrying: It's just a tweet, we didn't actually see the first lady, and her tweet sounded...well, sort of like President Trump might have written it. Or dictated it.
"I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing. Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!— Melania Trump"
I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing. Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people! — Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) May 30, 2018
"Working overtime" is a favorite phrase of the president, as many pointed out.
working overtime huh pic.twitter.com/hTfwcbAAyl — Adam Parkhomenko (@AdamParkhomenko) May 30, 2018
Comedian Sarah Silverman wasn't buying Trump's tweet. "Who is this? where’s Melania?," she wondered on Twitter.
The first lady, still an enigma in Washington a year after her arrival at the White House, is the capital's media mystery du jour, with the burning question: Where is Melania?
To Trump's spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, it's all too unbearably silly. She has seen Trump and she's fine, she says.
"I've gone on the record countless times to tell people she's here at the White House, working hard and participating in several meetings. But sadly, the rumors abound," Grisham said in an email to USA TODAY.
And of course she wrote her own tweet, Grisham added.
But some media outlets are keeping a daily count of absence: She hasn't been seen in 20 — gasp! — days, says CNN, whose story on the most elusive member of the Trump team first appeared Tuesday when she had been out of sight for 19 days.
As first lady, Trump is low-key, not a spotlight seeker, and not a major presence on Twitter the way her husband is.
But her absence from the usual comings and goings at the White House is intriguing to many because it immediately followed her mysterious five-day stay in a hospital for an unspecified kidney procedure that the White House said went well. She went to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on May 14 and returned to the White House on May 19.
True, she has been tweeting more than usual — about Memorial Day, about the Medal of Honor recipient, about the latest school shooting mass murder in Texas — but she hadn't actually been spotted in her signature glamazon look (couture outfit, towering heels) since May 10, in the middle of the night.
On #MemorialDay we honor the many Americans who laid down their lives for our great country. As one nation under God, we come together to remember that freedom isn’t free. Thank you to all the service members & their families who sacrifice so much to keep us safe. 🇺🇸 pic.twitter.com/H6yhNQXyPg — Melania Trump (@FLOTUS) May 28, 2018
That was when she accompanied President Trump to Joint Base Andrews in Maryland to greet three just-freed Americans who had been detained in North Korea for more than a year. It was dark but she looked fine, dressed in a tailored pantsuit with cropped pants.
Before that, on May 7, she appeared in the White House Rose Garden to announce her "Be Best" FLOTUS agenda, aimed at improving the well-being of children.
Meanwhile, the mocking, spoofing and mean-tweeting (aimed at POTUS mostly) on Twitter poured out. On May 26, a week after she got out of the hospital, an anti-Trump tweeter, Bill Palmer of the Palmer Report, posted about her being "missing."

On May 25, a reporter shouted a question to the president about his wife’s whereabouts as he prepared to board Marine One. According to the pool report, he pointed to a window in the White House and said: “She’s doing great. She’s looking at us right there.” Reporters turned to look but she wasn't there.
That episode was an invitation to meme-making on Twitter.

More partisan tweeters took the opportunity to use the first lady-is-missing theme to needle the Trump administration about its recent admission by immigration authorities that they had "lost track" of the whereabouts of about 1,500 immigrant children in their custody.
"Where are the 1500 missing children, and where is Melania Trump? How does 1500 children go missing, and how is it no one has seen the First Lady of the United States in over 3 weeks?" asked tweeter Christopher Bouzy.

"So... has the WH lost track of another immigrant? #WhereIsMelania," tweeted Bill Spring. Trump, 48, is an immigrant born in Slovenia.

Others said there was legitimate reason to wonder about Trump's health.
"Regardless of party, I think all Americans wish @FLOTUS only the best. It is fair, however, with a @WhiteHouse that routinely misleads the public, to ask where Mrs. Trump is and to have a better understanding of her health condition," tweeted Rev. Dr. Chuck Currie.

Trump has already established herself as an unconventional first lady, having delayed her arrival in Washington for five months to allow her 12-year-old son to finish the school year in New York. Since then she's been mocked for her clothes and her shoes and criticized for a donation of Dr. Seuss books.
She's also endured fevered speculation about the state of her marriage after cameras caught her brushing off his extended hand and after she cancelled a foreign trip with him following explosive allegations from a former adult film star that she had a one-night fling with him years ago and was paid to keep quiet about it before the 2016 election.
And who can forget that memorable day in October when Twitter conspiracy theorists became convinced that POTUS was standing next to a body double, not his wife, in a picture.
"Once again we find ourselves consumed with a ridiculous non-story when we could be talking about the work the first lady is doing on behalf of children," Grisham said in an email.

Yikes! After arriving in Florida, Melania Trump walked off Air Force One and… kept walking — right past her own husband. Is she still mad at Donald for the Stormy Daniels scandal?
Florida might be the sunshine state, but Melania Trump, 47, looked anything but sunny when arriving at Palm Beach International Airport on Feb. 2. The First Lady, along with Donald Trump, 71, and their son Barron, 11, all head back to West Palm Beach for yet another weekend getaway at Mar-a-Lago. After the family departed Air Force One, Trump stopped on the tarmac to wave at the cameras, while his wife brushed straight past him, without acknowledging the press nor her husband when he turned toward her. In the video below, you can watch her make a beeline for the motorcade.
The President’s marriage has definitely seemed tense these last few weeks, to say the least. During the State of the Union address, people picked up on a couple things Melania did that felt like disses toward her husband. She arrived at the Capitol separately from her husband (which is really strange for a first couple), while rocking a white pantsuit. Voters began questioning if the outfit was a reference to Hillary Clinton, who’s known for loving that exact outfit. Then, when Donald mentioned the importance of family values in his speech, Melania remained seated, looking wholly unimpressed while everyone around her smiled while they all stood in applause.
Stormy Daniels $130,000 in hush money during his campaign to cover up an alleged affair they had in 2006 — one year after the couple married, and a few months after Barron was born. After the story came out, Melania reportedly Melania has been sending off angry signals left and right since the news broke that her husband was accused of$130,000 in hush money during his campaign to cover up an alleged affair they had in 2006 — one year after the couple married, and a few months after Barron was born. After the story came out, Melania reportedly left the White House to stay in a D.C. hotel alone, sources told Daily Mail. Then, she skipped out on his trip to Davos, Switzerland, even though she had initially been confirmed to attend. Instead, she made a short, spontaneous trip to Mar-a-Lago, where it now seems is the last place she wants to be.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Melania’s intense beeline for the motorcade?

Question: Toronto police officer ‘gave himself the space and time’ in van attack

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Footage shows officer standing up, turning off his siren and talking clearly to the suspect

Experts say the powerful video of Alek Minassian’s arrest reveals a textbook case of an officer defusing danger through a series of life-and-death choices based on training and a calm mind.
The footage shows an officer who police sources identified as Const. Ken Lam standing up, turning off his siren and talking clearly to the suspect, even as the dead and injured lay along Yonge Street after being struck down by a white rental van.
“This is exactly the type of de-escalation … and response to these types of confrontations that we hope to see,” said Ontario ombudsman Paul Dube.
Lam calmly holstered his service weapon, held up his baton and handcuffed Minassian as he lay on the sidewalk.
“He gave himself the space and time. He assessed the threat and realized he had options other than firing his weapon.”
Dube published a June 2016 report calling for increased police training on defusing dangerous situations after several high-profile deaths of people with mental illnesses who confronted officers.
He said the constable’s actions are a sign that police are gaining from training that includes simulations of tense standoffs with people who are emotionally unstable.
Sammy Yatim’s death in July 2013 in Toronto — where the mentally ill man was shot multiple times as officers surrounded an empty streetcar he was on — helped prompt reforms.

In recent years at least one day has been added to Toronto police in-service training on de-escalation and “dealing with people in crisis,” said Mike McCormack, president of the police union in Toronto.
The program is part of a mandatory three-day training for all officers that incorporates crisis communication, de-escalation and containment measures.
“A major component of this training includes a variety of scenarios that are designed to evaluate officer’s skills in effectively communicating with people in crisis and those who are suffering from a possible mental disorder,” said an email from the union.
Meanwhile, recruits at the Ontario Police College are now receiving more training, as are a number of police forces around the province, though it’s yet to be a provincewide standard, said Dube.
Christian Leuprecht, a professor at Royal Military College in Kingston, Ont., who studies policing and security issues, said Lam’s actions were “textbook” examples of the latest approaches.
The result is a suspect who is now in custody and who may be able to shed light on why the devastating incident occurred, he said.
RELATED: Officer’s actions ‘one shining moment’ in wake of attack
“That particular situation yesterday, the way in which it went down was nothing short of remarkable,” Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders told a news conference Tuesday.
Saunders said he spoke to Lam, and the officer is doing well and thankful for the public’s support. Lam told him ”he defaulted to his training,” the chief said.
Police say Minassian, 25, of Richmond Hill, Ont., is the lone suspect in the attack. He was charged Tuesday with 10 counts of first-degree murder and 13 counts of attempted murder.
Leuprecht noted how Lam only stood up after carefully observing the suspect and determining he didn’t have a gun.
Lam spoke loudly and calmly, even as the suspect encouraged the officer to shoot him. When he claimed to have a gun in his pocket, Lam replied, “I don’t care,” and repeatedly instructed him to “Get down.”
Leuprecht said Lam seemed to go further than some others might have when he decided to approach and arrest the suspect, rather than wait for backup.
“There’s an impressive moment when he takes his firearm, puts it in his holster, he goes over with his baton, and he handcuffs the individual,” he said.
“I think that goes above and beyond the call of duty. He could have had a knife. He could have had a suicide belt.”
However, the university professor, who is currently teaching in Australia, says if the constable had waited for backup, the situation might have escalated and had a different outcome.
“The opportunity to ensure the individual could no longer pose a chance of harm to himself or to others is what that officer jumped at,” said Leuprecht.
McCormack said while additional training is a factor, he knows Lam well enough to say his personality factored in.
He described him as an intelligent, relatively young officer who is highly skilled and trained.
McCormack says the constable — who is in his 30s — positioned himself well so that he could see precisely what was unfolding before him.
“By his actions he did not perceive the threat to escalate and that is why he did not use his firearm,” he said.

Irvine Fraser worked the evening shift as a Winnipeg bus driver, so he could help look after his granddaughter during the daytime.
Early Tuesday morning, Fraser, 58 — who was looking forward to retirement as early as next year, according to colleagues — died after a passenger allegedly stabbed him at the end of his route at the University of Manitoba.
“There is no reason this should’ve happened. … My fellow brother was murdered for doing his job last night, that’s all I know,” fellow transit driver Nelson Giesbrecht told reporters.
As police reviewed security footage and tried to sort through a reason for the attack, members of the transit community said the case highlighted the need for better protections for bus operators.
“I don’t want Irvine’s death to be in vain,” said John Callahan, president of Local 1505 of the Amalgamated Transit Union.
Callahan said protective barriers have been tested in the past, but some drivers felt claustrophobic and worried that they might become trapped in an emergency.
There are now some calls for buses to be redesigned with driver’s side doors to give them an escape route, he said.
“Countless numbers of transit workers are assaulted in many ways every year. Most are the result of a fare dispute, but an alarming number happen just because someone wants to do violence to a bus driver,” the union’s international president, Larry Hanley, said in a statement.
“ATU demands that transit agencies and government officials bring the same sense of regret that they will display in the public mourning of this tragic, unnecessary death of our brother to the ongoing discussion about preventing these attacks from occurring.”
Details of what prompted the attack are still not clear. Union officials said the altercation started on the bus and then spilled outside the bus.
Nobody else was believed to be on the bus when the attack occurred, Winnipeg police said. They said officers got the call just before 2 a.m. and found Fraser suffering from serious stab wounds. He died at hospital.
Officers, led by a canine unit, arrested a 22-year-old suspect trying to cross the frozen Red River and took him back to the river bank.
At one point, a canine officer returned to the river to continue the investigation and fell through the ice. Officers used a rope to pull him to safety; he was not injured.
Friends and co-workers, meanwhile, remembered Fraser as a big man with a booming voice, easy smile and hearty handshake. Union officials said Fraser and his wife looked after their young granddaughter after their daughter passed away.
“For a guy that had a lot of struggles, this is not the way he should’ve gone,” Callahan said.
“It’s heartbreaking for all of us,” said Aleem Chaudhary, Local 1505’s executive vice-president. “He was liked by everybody — always had time to talk to you.”
Fraser wasn’t the type of driver “who would care about a bus fare if somebody said, ‘Oh I need a ride,’ ” Giesbrecht told reporters.
“I’m pretty shaken up. It’s supposed to be Valentine’s Day, not a day of mourning. It’s supposed to be about love, not death.”
There is no reason this should’ve happened. … My fellow brother was murdered for doing his job last night.
Giesbrecht, a bus driver for 19 years, said he now counts himself among those in support of protective barriers for drivers.
“How many crazies are out there that I just let on the bus that are just on the verge? I don’t know. … My opinion is now I’m at the point of put me in a cage.”
A federal law was passed in February 2015 to allow for more severe penalties for attacks on bus drivers. Bregg’s Law was named after Edmonton transit driver Tom Bregg, who was beaten so severely that he suffered brain injuries and lost the sight in one eye.
Bregg was driving his route during the morning rush hour in December 2009 when he was hit several times by a drunken man, who did not want to pay the $2.50 fare.
The attacker dragged the driver off the bus and stomped on his face more than a dozen times when he became wedged between the bus and the curb.
Bregg was in hospital for more than eight weeks.
Gary Mattson pleaded guilty to aggravated assault and was declared a dangerous offender.
Winnipeg police posted a tweet Tuesday trying to reassure rattled residents that it was safe to take buses.
“Our public transit is safe,” it quoted Chief Danny Smith saying. “I ride the bus. My family rides the bus. I believe it is safe.”
