Question: Trump to OPEC: 'Reduce pricing now!'

US President Donald Trump again accused the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries of driving petrol prices higher on Twitter on Wednesday and urged the oil cartel's members to do more.
The Republican president has lashed out at the petroleum group in recent weeks. Rising petrol prices could create a political headache for Trump before the November mid-term congressional elections by offsetting Republican claims that his tax cuts and rollbacks of federal regulations have helped boost the US economy.
In a tweet on Saturday, Trump said Saudi Arabia had agreed to increase oil output by up to 2 million barrels per day, an assertion that the White House rowed back on in a subsequent statement.
The leader of Saudi Arabia, OPEC's biggest member, has assured Trump that the kingdom can raise oil production if needed and that the country has 2 million barrels per day of spare capacity that could be deployed to help cool oil prices to compensate for falling output in Venezuela and Iran.

Traditionally, the role of the president has been to calm a country at times of unease, but President Trump is breaking with precedent. At a hastily called photo-op with military leaders Thursday, Trump suggested it was "the calm before the storm" and declined to elaborate when repeatedly pressed. It comes after Trump has deployed vivid and at times provocative language to describe the flight against ISIS or potential warfare against North Korea, and as he has rejected diplomatic efforts in the case of the latter. Trump's off-the-cuff comments caught White House officials unawares, but they were hardly surprised. They've grown used to those sort of spur-of-the-moment comments from the president. In the most charitable reading, they suggest that Trump's foreign policy doctrine is one of unpredictability — depriving allies and foes alike of their confidence in what he might do next. The more alarming perspective views it as a manifestation of Trump's failure to grasp the power of the presidency — how the entire world hangs on every word uttered by a U.S. leader — and the need for deliberation and precision.
The truth is somewhere between those extremes. Trump's public and private comments over the years provide a roadmap for how he values unpredictability in negotiation — and he views everything as a negotiation. But to apply a strategic lens to all of his comments would be far too generous, as the individual pronouncements are often driven by ego, slight, or frustration. Determining where Trump falls on the strategic-bombastic scale is a constant challenge not just for journalists, but also for the American public and the rest of the world. Thursday's comments seem to trend toward the latter end of that span.
With the backing of the NRA and the White House, expect some progress on restricting so-called 'bump stocks' like those used by the Las Vegas shooter in the coming weeks. But it will preclude any other movement on gun control on Capitol Hill. Breitbart exposed. And Mueller's probe continues.

Question: No doubts over Collins as he’s backed to reach 20

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Hatters forward Danny Hylton has no doubt that strike partner James Collins will break the 20-goal barrier for Luton this term.
The 26-year-old began with a hat-trick on debut against Yeovil and had a tally of five from his opening five games.
He’s getting in great positions, leading the line well, putting in a real shift, so I’m delighted with him. Nathan JOnes
However, he has scored just once in his last seven matches, but Hylton said: “Collo’s a goalscorer, he’ll be a little bit frustrated, but he won’t be worried. Collo will score goals and he’ll get his 20-25 this season, without doubt.
“I’m sure he’ll say the same, he didn’t score, but we won the game and we’re not far off where we want to be, I’m sure he’ll not be too worried.”
Manager Nathan Jones had no concerns about one of his major signings of the summer too, as he said: “At Chesterfield, he missed one or two chances that he would normally take, but I don’t think he’s missing chances now.
“He’s getting in great positions, leading the line well, putting in a real shift, so I’m delighted with him.
“We needed to pick him out a little bit better the other day, because we had opportunities where we could have, and then he contributed, set up Hylts goal.
“So I’m delighted with my front three, they’re creating or scoring, that’s all you can ask.”
Collins was booked for diving during the weekend’s 3-1 win over Newport, and after the whistle, when asked on the day what he thought of referee Mark Heywood’s decision, Jones said: “I probably agreed with him if I’m honest.
“He didn’t need to go down, he was in the box, got a wonderful strike on him, so I’ll have to see it again before I comment. I didn’t agree with the ref first half, but I agreed with him second.”
However, after watching it back, Jones added: “Actually he had an argument for a penalty because he just steps across him.
“I think the way that James went down probably cost us a penalty as it’s actually a foul,”

‘Stay humble’ — Jones’s message to impressive Dees
Melbourne Demons sit third on the ladder with seven wins from the ten rounds, but the team must “stay humble and respect the game” if they want to be a real force come the finals, Melbourne veteran Nathan Jones says.
The Dees are in uncharted waters, notching up a run of five straight wins for the first time since 2006.
But Jones says the group isn’t “getting ahead of [them]selves,” despite their strong results of late.
Saint’s captain Nick Riewoldt has been impressed with the Demons, but said he won’t earmark the Dees as premiership contenders until they score a big against “against a really quality opposition.”

In an emotional interview with Fox Footy’s On The Mark, St Kilda’s Koby Stevens has opened up on the impact of the concussions he’s faced in recent years, saying he has endured chronic headaches and dizziness.
Stevens said his worst concussion came in Round 21 last year, in the sickening head clash with Melbourne’s Angus Brayshaw.
He said “I wasn’t knocked out, but it felt like a bomb had gone off. I couldn’t hear anything and it hit me right in the ear drum, so for about 10 to 15 minutes I had ringing in my ears.”
Concussion symptoms have been under discussion in AFL circles this year, and Stevens’ story is likely to continue the push to protect players’ welfare.

Question: Bypoll results: Stage set for counting of votes in 4 Lok Sabha, 10 Assembly seats

Represent the article to find a fitting news title:

The stage is set for counting of votes for by-elections to four Lok Sabha and 10 Assembly constituencies. The Lok Sabha constituencies where counting would be conducted on Thursday are Kairana (Uttar Pradesh), Bhandara-Gondia and Palghar (Maharashtra) and Nagaland parliamentary constituency, and the 10 assembly seats are Palus Kadegaon (Maharashtra), Noorpur (Uttar Pradesh), Jokihat (Bihar), Gomia and Silli (Jharkhand), Chengannur (Kerala), Ampati (Meghalaya), Shahkot (Punjab), Tharali (Uttarakhand) and Maheshtala (West Bengal). The counting of votes is slated to begin at 8 am.
The bypolls have been a litmus test for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as well as the opposition parties, including the Congress. A positive outcome is necessary for the BJP to maintain its majority in the Lok Sabha.
Following the party’s defeat in from Gorakhpur and Phulpur by-elections in Uttar Pradesh, the BJP had profusely campaigned for Kairana seat in Uttar Pradesh. In Maharashtra’s Palghar and Bhandara-Gondia seats, all four major parties - BJP, Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress - left no stone unturned to woo the electorates in their favour.
Elections were necessitated in Kairana after the seat fell vacant in February following the death of BJP leader Hukum Singh. The BJP has fielded Mriganka Singh, daughter of Singh, from the seat. In Maharashtra, Palghar is a reserved seat, which was previously held by the BJP. The seat fell vacant after sitting BJP MP Chintaman Wanga died in January. Chintaman Wanga had been elected from the constituency thrice as a BJP member. However, after his death, his family joined hands with the Shiv Sena.
In Bhandara-Gondia the bye-election was necessitated when BJP’s sitting MP Nana Patole quit the party to join the Congress in December 2017.
In Nagaland, Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio of the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party was the representative of the lone Lok Sabha constituency in Nagaland. He quit in February to contest in the Assembly elections.
The by-elections for Assembly seats were held in Legislative Assemblies of Shahkot (Punjab), Tharali (Uttarakhand), Ampati (Meghalaya), Chengannur (Kerala), Jokihat (Bihar), Gomia (Jharkhand), Silli (Jharkhand), Maheshtala (West Bengal), Noorpur (Uttar Pradesh), Palus Kadegaon (Maharashtra).
The by-poll in Gomia Assembly was necessitated after the sitting MLA Yogendra Prasad Mahto of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) was expelled from the assembly after he was convicted in a coal theft case. In Jharkhand’s Silli, sitting MLA Amit Mahto of the JMM was convicted in a criminal assault case in March following which the seat fell vacant.
The seat of Noorpur in Uttar Pradesh fell vacant after the death of sitting BJP MLA Lokendra Singh Chouhan. He was a two-time MLA from the seat.
The Maheshtala seat in West Bengal, which was held by the Trinamool Congress (TMC), fell vacant as MLA Kasturi Das died in February. He too had represented the constituency twice.
In Meghalaya, former chief minister and Congress MLA Mukul Sangma resigned from Ampati seat in March, as he had also won from Songsak. Sangma was the MLA from this seat since 1993.
Tharali seat in Uttarakhand is reserved for the member of scheduled castes. The by-poll was necessitated after the death of the BJP MLA Magan Lal Shah in February.
Chengannur seat in Kerala also went for bypoll as it fell vacant after the death of Communist Party of India (Marxist) sitting MLA KK Ramachandran Nair in January.
In Bihar, the bypoll was conducted in Jokihat Assembly seat as sitting Janata Dal United MLA Sarfaraz Alam quit the same in April after winning the Araria Lok Sabha seat on an RJD ticket.
Shahkot seat in Punjab also fell vacant as Shiromani Akali Dal sitting MLA Ajit Singh Kohar died in February. This necessitated by-poll in the assembly seat. Kohar had won from the constituency in 2012 and 2017.
The by-poll in Palus-Kadegaon Assembly constituency was necessitated due to the death of Congress’s Patangrao Kadam, who had won the constituency twice. The Election Commission has declared Kadam`s son elected unopposed as the BJP had withdrawn its candidate. These bye-elections were also marred with the complaints of EVM malfunctioning and in the view of which the election commission had to replace the faulty machines at certain places after which repolling was held on several booths on Wednesday.
(With ANI inputs)

RLD candidate Tabassum Hasan looks all set to win in Kairana bypoll.
Kairana bypoll result: All is not well for BJP in Uttar Pradesh. Joint opposition candidate Tabassum Hasan looks all set to win the Kairana Lok Sabha by-election 2018 by a huge margin. The counting of votes till 11 am shows Hasan leading by over 50,000 votes against her rival and BJP candidate Mriganka Singh. As per the Election Commision, Hasan was leading with 2,07,788 votes against Singh’s 152567.
Hasan is the candidate of Rashtriya Lok Dal (RLD). She was supported by Samajwadi Party, while BSP and Congress decided not to field their candidates. A third contestant of Lok Dal also withdrew from the polls just a few days ahead of voting. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and the regional Nishad Party also backed Hasan unconditionally.
As BJP stares at another defeat in the fight against a united opposition, Hasan predicted today that the saffron party will not be able to win more than three seats in next year’s Lok Sabha elections.

“Kairana me hi BJP ko dafan karna (We had to bury BJP in Kairana), she told ABP News while adding, “BJP will get only three seats in 2019 elections.”
ANI quoted Hasan as saying, “This is the victory of truth. I still stand by what I said. There has been a conspiracy and we do not want any future elections to be conducted on EVM machines. The path for united opposition is clear in 2019.”
Kairana bypoll was necessitated after the death of BJP MP Hukum Singh. His daughter Mriganka Singh was fielded by the BJP in Kairana where polling took place on May 28. Polling at 73 booths was held on Wednesday.
The Kairana bypoll was marred with reports of malfunctioning EVMs that the Election Commission had blamed on the heat wave.
Early this year, opposition Samajwadi Party and Bahujan Samaj Party had joined hands to snatch Gorakhpur and Phulpur Lok Sabha by-elections. Both seats were previously held by UP CM Yogi Adityanath and his deputy Keshav Prasad Maurya respectively.

Bypoll was also held in Noorpur assembly seat of Uttar Pradesh. In the early round of counting for the Noorpur assembly be-election, Samajwadi Party’s Naeemul Hasan had taken a lead of over 4,000 votes.
Early in the morning on Thursday, counting of votes for the Kairana Lok Sabha and Noorpur Assembly by-elections started amid tight security arrangements.
By the 13th round of counting in Kairana, RLD’s Tabassum Hasan was leading by 41391 votes over BJP’s Mriganka Singh.
By the end of the 20th round of counting in Noorpur, Samajwadi Party was leading by 10208 votes against the BJP candidate.
Kairana’s bypoll is being closely watched across the country as this could set in motion the opposition unity to take on PM Narendra Modi in 2019 Lok Sabha elections.

Question: Maldives delay in freeing opposition leaders fuels domestic, international concern

MALE (Reuters) - As domestic and international pressure mounts, the Maldives has delayed complying with a Supreme Court order for the immediate release and new trials of nine opposition leaders, freeing them to contest presidential elections this year.
The Indian Ocean nation has been mired in political unrest since Mohamed Nasheed, its first democratically elected leader, was ousted in 2012. He has been in exile on medical grounds from a 13-year jail sentence on terrorism charges.
The Supreme Court on Thursday said the trials of Nasheed and eight others, many of whom had challenged President Abdulla Yameen, had violated the constitution and international law. It found that prosecutors and judges were unduly influenced “to conduct politically motivated investigations” against them.
On Friday, Attorney General Mohamed Anil said he had held discussions with Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed over the administration’s concerns about releasing individuals whose offences ranged from terrorism to corruption and treason.
“The prosecutor general is currently in the process of examining the cases to determine the best way to proceed with the implementation of the Supreme Court’s ruling, and the prosecutor general will present recommendations at the earliest,” the government said in a statement.
The unexpected ruling frees opposition leaders to run against Yameen in the presidential poll expected to be completed by October. The terrorism convictions would normally bar them from competing unless they received presidential pardons after completing a third of their jail terms.
The joint opposition of the Maldives expressed concern over Yameen’s refusal to abide by the order.
“We are deeply fearful that the government’s refusal to implement the Supreme Court order could escalate to unrest and incite violence across the country,” it said in a statement.
Hundreds of opposition supporters chanted slogans such as “Enforce the Supreme Court ruling,” and “Defend the constitution,” in a Friday night rally outside the opposition MDP campaign center in Male, the capital.
The United Nations, the United States, the European Union and India also urged Yameen’s government to follow the ruling.
In a statement, the office of U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said, “The Secretary-General reiterates his belief in finding a solution to the political stalemate in the Maldives through all-party talks, which the United Nations continues to stand ready to facilitate.”
“We understand the situation is extremely tense,” Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights told reporters on Friday.
The agency was “closely watching how the situation develops in the aftermath of Thursday’s decisions by the Supreme Court, and in particular, the reactions of the government, military and police,” he added.
The European Union urged the government to hold “inclusive dialogue with the leaders of all political parties that should pave the way for credible, transparent and inclusive elections”.
Nasheed, who has been in exile in Britain, had sought U.N. help to restore the political rights of which he was stripped after a trial denounced as hasty and unfair by the United Nations human rights chief.
Thursday’s decision also nullified a ruling in which 12 lawmakers lost their parliamentary seats for defecting last July from Yameen’s ruling party, costing him his majority in the 85-member legislature.

Question: In Closing, Cosby's Lawyers Call His Accuser A 'Pathological Liar'

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

Prosecutors told the jury in Bill Cosby's criminal retrial that the legendary funnyman on The Cosby Show stands in glaring contrast to the sexual predator who victimized Andrea Constand.
And Cosby's chief accuser was not his sole target, prosecutor Kristen Feden said in her closing argument, describing how scores of other women have accused Cosby of trading on his celebrity status over decades to sexually prey on them.
"He utilized that image and cloaked it around himself so he was able to gain the trust, gain the confidence of these young, aspiring, unsuspecting women stripped of their very autonomy, stripped of their ability to say no," Feden said.
Over more than two weeks of testimony in a Montgomery County Court in Pennsylvania, defense lawyers routinely characterized Constand as an opportunistic "con artist." Feden used that portrayal as a jumping-off point.
"The defense was partially accurate when they use that term. But the perpetrator of the con is this man," Feden said.
Feden then marched over to the table of defense lawyers where Cosby has sat for the entire trial. Inches away from him, she pointed at his face.
"Sitting right here. This is the man. Sitting right here," Feden bellowed.
"Nothing funny about that"
Andrea Constand, who was last seen by the jury when she confronted Cosby from the stand over two days, was present during the prosecution's speeches, sitting in the audience not far from the seven men and five women who will decide Cosby's fate. The panel sat listening raptly in the jury box.
"The law makes it very clear. The uncorroborated testimony of the victim alone is enough to convict the defendant, so if you believe Andrea Constand," said Feden, gesturing toward Cosby's main accuser who looked straight ahead with a stony gaze, "you need to convict."
Feden said the defense team embarked on "character assassination" of the five additional accusers who took the stand against Cosby, saying the "shameful" attacks and questions are "the exact reason" sexual assault victims rarely report their assailants to authorities.
Defense lawyer Kathleen Bliss perpetuated "rape myths" to the jury by suggesting that victims of sexual assault bear some responsibility for being victimized, Feden argued.
Feden, at times, mocked Bliss by putting on a fake high-pitched voice and imitating her line of questions in a derisive tone.
Then she shot a look at Cosby and accused him of smirking.
"There's nothing funny about stripping a woman of her decency. There's nothing funny about that, Mr. Cosby," Feden yelled.
At that, rows of journalists stood up and tried to catch a glimpse of Cosby, who appeared expressionless.
Prosecutors projected old photographs of first woman to testify against Cosby. The wide-eyed, youthful glam shots of the woman, Heidi Thomas, taken decades ago when she was a promising young actress. The image accompanied a play-by-play description of what Thomas said happened to her: she was drugged and sexually assaulted by Cosby at a secluded ranch house in Nevada that she visited under the guise of private acting lessons.
With the innocent photographs of Thomas as a backdrop, Feden said Cosby's attack was no mistake: Cosby groomed and preyed on other young women the same way. He made some of the same promises of career opportunities to them before he molested them, sometimes in similar locations, such as private hotel suites, Feden said. All along, she said, Cosby assumed his victims would be too afraid to ever report him to authorities.
"It's the same con, ladies and gentlemen, just a different day," she said.
Cosby, facing the jury during this moment, shook his head in disagreement.
Some of the most convincing evidence in the case, Feden told jurors, is contained in Cosby's own words, excerpted from a civil deposition he gave as a part of Constand's civil lawsuit in federal court. In it, Cosby says he does not remember ever asking Constand for permission before he carried out sex acts on her in his Cheltenham mansion in early 2004.
"You knew that it wasn't consensual because of his words," Feden said. "You know it wasn't consensual because of the pattern. The MO," she said, referring to Cosby's alleged modus operandi of drugging and molesting women. "And you know it wasn't consensual because of the testimony of Andrea Constand."
In finishing up the government's closing, prosecutor M. Stewart Ryan picked up where Feden left off. He was interrupted a handful of times with objections from the defense team.
"I wonder what they're so worried about," Ryan replied after the fourth objection.
"I wonder what we'll have to correct," Bliss countered.
Judge Steven O'Neill told both sides to settle down, reminding the court that he will address objections to closing statements later.
"Biggest highway robberies of all time"
Earlier, Cosby's lawyers told the jury in the entertainer's retrial that Constand is a "pathological liar" whose story of "so-called assault" is so replete with inconsistencies that it cannot be trusted.
"In a case like this, credibility becomes everything," defense attorney Tom Mesereau told the jury in closing arguments Tuesday morning. "There's so many big lies, they get lost. The number of lies start to drown others out."
Flipping through a PowerPoint presentation, Mesereau walked jurors through what he said are a dozen instances of Constand lying about her relationship with Cosby — and about what Mesereau described as her motive to milk Cosby for a financial settlement.
He pointed out discrepancies over things such as how long Constand had known Cosby; whether Constand had ever flirted with the comedian; and what he said were fibs about wearing a cashmere sweater Cosby gave her as a gift.
The nearly $3.4 million Constand received as part of a previously confidential civil settlement she reached with Cosby in 2006 was long the aim of Cosby's chief accuser, he told jurors.
"She took the money, ran with the money. Her mom got money, her father got money. They're all part of the settlement agreement," Mesereau said. "It's one of the biggest highway robberies of all time."
The other women who confronted Cosby in court were driven by the desire for publicity and money, Cosby's defense lawyers said, taking direct aim at the #MeToo movement. Attorney Kathleen Bliss said "mob rule is not due process," adding that the claims of more than 60 women who have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct have been tantamount to a "lynching," or a "witch hunt."
"When you join a movement based mostly on emotion and anger, you don't change a damn thing," Bliss told jurors. "Questioning an accuser is not shaming a victim. Gut feelings are not rational decisions."
For more than two weeks, Cosby's defense has focused on the argument that Constand is a "con artist" who sought to extort Cosby for a payout. In closing arguments, however, lawyers harkened back to a point made repeatedly by his defense team during the entertainer's first trial in June 2017: that Constand was always romantically interested in Cosby.
For proof, Mesereau pointed to "at least 100 calls" Constand placed after the alleged assault in January 2004.
Constand, who worked for Temple University's basketball team at the time, has said that the calls were about business, since Cosby was a powerful university trustee heavily involved with the school's sports teams.
"This is a personal, intimate relationship, not basketball," Mesereau said. "Constand placed twice the number of calls than he did to her, demonstrating her pursuit of him."
Camille Cosby, the entertainer's wife of more than five decades, made her first appearance Tuesday during the retrial. She walked up to her husband, kissed and embraced him. Wearing a bright yellow and orange dress, she took a seat in the first row and remained stoic throughout the proceeding.
In an unusual move, the defense team split the two-hour-long closing speech between Bliss and Mesereau.
Bliss reminded the jury about the defense team's star witness, Margo Jackson, a former colleague of Constand's who claims Constand confided that she wanted to fabricate a story of sexual assault in order to try to shake down a celebrity for money.
"You would've thought they would've done something to check her out," said Bliss, indicting that prosecutors ignored Jackson in their investigation. "Who are you going to believe? A well-educated ... woman who works at Temple and who counsels students and has a background in psychology?" Bliss asked the jury. "Or Andrea Constand, who was running a pyramid scheme at the same time?"
Bliss then spoke to the jury about Gianna Constand, the mother of the accuser, who testified in the case and played for the court a recording she made of Cosby apologizing, saying he would like to set up an educational fund for Constand as long as she maintained a 3.0 average.
"Yes, he feels badly. He's 30 years older than she is. He's got this mother accusing him, yelling at him, whatever she was doing," Bliss said. "He's also worried about extortion."
Mesereau, after describing the high bar to prove guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, delivered his final line to the jury of seven men and five women who will soon decide Cosby's fate.
"He must walk out of here free," Mesereau said. "He's an 80-year-old man. He's had a distinguished career. He's made some mistakes for sure, but he is no criminal."
Prosecutors next will deliver their final remarks to jurors in a case that could send Cosby to prison for the rest of his life.
Last June, a different jury could not decide on Cosby's fate following 52 hours of closed-door deliberations about the case.

Question: 3 Trump accusers speak out, call for congressional probe

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

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three women who have previously accused President Donald Trump of sexual harassment shared their stories on NBC’s “Megyn Kelly Today.”
Jessica Leeds, Samantha Holvey and Rachel Crooks on Monday told of alleged harassment by Trump spanning decades.
The White House called the claims false and “totally disputed in most cases.” It said “the timing and absurdity of these false claims speak volumes.”
One of the accusers, Rachel Crooks, called the White House statement “laughable.”
Crooks said of sexual misconduct: “I think politicians seem to be immune to this.”
Holvey described the pain the women felt after Trump’s victory. “We are private citizens and for us to put ourselves out there, to try to show America who this man is, and especially how he views women, for them to say, ‘Meh, we don’t care,’ it hurt.”
The women, who first shared their stories before the November 2016 election, were holding a press conference later Monday to call for a congressional investigation into Trump’s alleged behavior. They cited the recent revelations of sexual misconduct by prominent men in business, media and politics, for their decision to speak out publicly against Trump once again.
“The environment’s different,” Holvey said. “Let’s try again.”

Question: Springfield DPW preparing for Tuesday’s expected snow

SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (WWLP) – The Springfield Department of Public Works is preparing for Tuesday’s expected snow.
The Springfield DPW said they are still cleaning up from Saturday’s snow, with more expected Tuesday morning.
The department has people working 24/7 during winter months, and said the DPW will be ready to address whatever Tuesday brings.
The department’s highway and bridges foreman said their tactics all depend on the type of weather Springfield sees.
“You have to adjust for each storm,” said Highways and Bridges Foreman, Robert Gentile. “If it’s gonna rain, freezing rain, you’re definitely leaning more towards salt. If it’s gonna be a snow storm, we’ll stop salting at a certain point and go into a plowing operation.”
Gentile said the two to three days following severe weather can be the busiest for the DPW.

Question: Young anorexia survivor whose weight plummeted to almost 4st 'would have died if she didn't travel abroad for treatment'

Get daily updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing! Could not subscribe, try again later Invalid Email
A young anorexia whose weight plummeted to just over four stone after consuming only 150 calories a day says she would have died if she hadn't travelled to the UK for treatment.
Chloe was at severe risk of going into a coma as her blood sugars dropped so low, prompting medics to warn her not to fall asleep.
Yet despite two years of being in and out of various Dublin hospitals and repeated tearful pleas from her family, the services and facilities available were unable to help Chloe, now 18, at the height of her condition.
Although Chloe insists the nurses, doctors and therapists in Dublin, Ireland, did their utmost, they didn't have the training required to give the suffering teen the "harsh interventions" she needed.
In 2016, Chloe, then 16, was in the throes of anorexia. She was five foot seven tall but weighed just under five stone.
(Image: Irish Mirror)
Speaking to Dublin Live , Chloe said: "It was very gradual, I can't say when it all started but when it got really, really bad I was about fourteen or fifteen.
"I was consumed with food; that's all I thought about.
"I was losing energy and I deteriorated very quickly.
"It was an addiction, no matter how much weight I lost - it wasn't enough.
"The stigma with anorexia is that you want to be the skinniest or the most beautiful, it can be different for everyone but in my experience, when people told me I didn't look attractive, in my head I was winning.
"I wanted to disappear, I didn't want attention, I just wanted to disappear."
She was living with her mum in south Dublin at the time, and her friends got her in touch with the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service.
(Image: Irish Mirror)
Chloe was then admitted to St Joseph's Adolescent inpatient unit in St Vincent's Hospital.
It's a clinic for teens with general psychiatric problems and has the capacity for twelve beds.
Chloe recalled: "The staff were so, so lovely. They did their absolute best for me and I loved my counsellor.
"She made me realise a lot of things about my past that I didn't think bothered me.
"She made me see what was wrong and how certain things might have influenced my eating disorder.
"I was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder because I started to remember things from my childhood that I'd repressed; a specific incident that happened when I was seven.
"When all this came to the surface, I stopped eating completely in St Joseph's, I started associating eating with remembering what happened to me as a child."
(Image: Irish Mirror)
Chloe could just about manage a high calorie protein drink called Fresubin but couldn't manage food as the sensation of fullness triggered memories of her childhood trauma.
When she was offered two-week leave from the clinic, her condition deteriorated again.
Life became a vicious cycle of hospital admissions followed by stints at home where Chloe would only drink diet coke.
It got to the point where she would have 300 calories at most over a two-day period, a max of 1,000 calories a week.
Chloe said: "I ended up weighing below five stone. I was a healthy eight and a half stone and then it just went down to just above four stone."
"I moved in with my granny and grandad because my mum had work, they'd just cry and beg me to eat but I just couldn't do it for anyone. I couldn't do it for them or me, the fear was just too much.
"My granny brought me to hospital because I started turning purple and blue from the poor circulation.
"The results of the tests they did scared them a bit.
(Image: Irish Mirror)
"I was sent back to St Joseph's but they were too scared to keep me in because they couldn't attend to me medically.
"Apparently my blood pressure and my stats were very dangerous and they sent me back to the main hospital in St Vincent's, two nurses brought me there and I thought I'd only be there for a few days.
"There I was given adult psychiatric treatment. I was being treated as an adult rather than a child.
"I probably would have got more intervention if I was placed in a children's hospital but I didn't, I was in St Vincent's for a while and in the ICU occasionally."
While undergoing treatment, Chloe was fitted with a nasogastric tube which would allow the staff to feed her the Frezubin protein drinks.
But as she was in adult facility, she could refuse these feedings.
Chloe said: "I realised they weren't going to force feed me.
(Image: Irish Mirror)
"The nurses would come in and say 'Chloe do you want a feed now' and I'd be like 'no' and they'd be like 'ok' and just wrote 'refused' on the sheet. There was no intervention.
"My blood sugar went below one some nights and I was in severe risk of going into coma.
The only advice they gave me was 'don't fall asleep' - a healthcare assistant would stand over me and say 'Chloe stay awake, Chloe stay awake, Chloe stay awake'.
Chloe was told she was going to die if the situation remained the same and her family were told that staff were surprised she was still able to function the way she was.
Her relatives in the UK suggested they raise funding so that she could go to a dedicated eating disorder clinic there and professionals in Ireland agreed this was the best option as they had 'ticked all the boxes' the Irish healthcare system could offer.
Funding was also provided by Ireland's treatment abroad scheme which took a number of weeks.
She was eventually taken to the Springfield University Hospital in Tooting, South London where staff were shocked by her condition and that she was allowed to fly without medical support.
Chloe said: "I think they were quite shocked to see me the way I was, I don't think they were expecting what they saw."
After a total of 52 weeks and two days on the in Springfield Hospital, Chloe had made leaps and bounds in her recover, although it was a difficult road.
For a lengthy period she had to be force fed three times daily.
Chloe also recalls being fearful of showers as she thought the water would enter her body, making her gain weight.
But the brave 18-year-old said this aggressive intervention was exactly what she needed in the beginning: "I fully believe that without the teamn the UK, I would be dead by now."
"Trusting others and letting people help me is a big thing that aided me getting to where I am. I think that's the best thing I could have done. That wasn’t easy to begin with but once I pealed the plaster off it got easier with time.
"Realising that the people helping me had years of experience and qualifications made it easier to trust and value their judgment that they didn't just walk off the street as silly as that sounds.
"Also having people going through similar but all the same much different problems was definitely comforting. We got each other through it and I have made friends for life from it. I wouldn't wish this illness or any other mental illness on my worst enemy."
Anorexia Nervosa has the highest mortality rate of all psychiatric conditions, but all eating disorders are associated with high levels of both mental and physical complications such as heart and endocrine problems.
On Wednesday January 24, the HSE announced a move that will see a new model of care for those with eating disorders in Ireland.
According to the health care provider, the aim is to improve quality and safety, access to services for all ages and provide value for money in how these services are delivered.
The HSE’s partners in developing this model were Bodywhys and the College of Psychiatrists of Ireland. A four year implementation plan has been approved to allow for phased recruitment and training.
The benefits of this new model of care for people with eating disorders include faster access to assessment and early intervention, more access to clinicians with specialist training in eating disorders care across the system, dedicated physician/ paediatrician time and access to dieticians, and support for families and carers through the partnership with Bodywhys.
Hearing the news that things would change for eating disorder sufferers in Ireland was an emotional moment for Chloe.
She said: "I cried, there was tears going down my eyes. I just thought people are finally going to get help and get the right help.
"People aren't going to have to get like this; like the way I did. People are going to get early interventions and they're not going to have to leave the country like I did.
"I literally went up to the counter and ordered myself a blueberry muffin, I was so happy and I ate it all. There was no regret".
Chloe now lives with relatives in Kent and although she misses her family and friends in Ireland, she has to stay for the considerably superior level of care she's receiving there.
Thankfully, Chloe now has a new lease of life.
"I’m so lucky that I have reached a stage that I can do normal tasks and I can experience normal teenage things like walking around the shops, spending time with family and friends and being a bit silly", she said.
"I wish for nothing more then to continue down this paths and for other sufferers to join me; life truly can be beautiful. For me things truly did have to hit rock bottom for me to see that.
"I still have a way to go and I still have the bad days but I can function and I have learnt ways to manage. It pulls me down but I get up again, ten times stronger."

Question: 2 teachers resign in fallout over controversial video

KALAMAZOO, Mich. (WOOD) –- Two teachers for Bangor Public Schools have resigned after video surfaced showing school employees naming co-workers and students they’d like to kill or sleep with.
School district attorney Robert Huber told 24 Hour News 8 Tuesday one of the teachers resigning was among those given a written reprimand by the district; the other had been verbally reprimanded. He said the school board still needs to accept the resignations.
During Monday night’s board meeting, Huber said two teachers and a school secretary, Patti Waite, were involved in the inappropriate comments recorded in the video posted to YouTube Monday. The teachers received written reprimands and Waite resigned. Four other teachers who were present received verbal reprimands.
At a meeting Monday evening, the Bangor Board of Education president said the six-minute video was recorded in mid-January and that it shows district employees.
A FIREABLE OFFENSE?
Some outraged community members called for the firing of those shown on camera, but it’s not clear whether the situation legally rises to the level of a fireable offense.
“Teachers and everyone else has (sic) a Constitutional right to freedom of speech,” said Sarissa Montague, an attorney with the Kalamazoo law firm of Levine and Levine.
However, Montague says there are exceptions to the rule.
“As it applies to the teachers, if there was something in their contract, in their union agreements… something like that that prohibited them from saying this, then that could be an issue,” explained Montague.
RIGHT TO PRIVACY
Also called into question is the staff members’ right to privacy.
“There are statutes, they’re called eavesdropping statutes, and they make it illegal for people to record private conversations without the permission of the people who are participating in the conversation, said Montague.
But again, Montague says there are exceptions to the rule.
“When you have six people in a bar, a bar that is open to the public, it is certainly difficult, I would say, to say that that is a private conversation,” she said.
A LOT OF GRAY AREAS
The bottom line: almost everyone has the means to record you and send it out to a lot of people.
“I don’t know necessarily that there is a black line that separates what you can do and what you can’t do,” added Montague. “However, you certainly should use common sense when you have having conversations that can be overheard by anybody.”
Montague says there are also a number of gray areas if someone involved in the situation wants to file a civil lawsuit, especially when it comes to proving damages.

Question: Boeing vote tells next chapter in Southern unionization

Nearly 3,000 production workers at Boeing's South Carolina plant are deciding Wednesday on whether they want to unionize, writing the next chapter in efforts to organize labor in large manufacturing plants across the South.
If successful, the balloting on whether employees should join the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers would send a significant message to politicians both in the region and Washington that workers here are demanding the same protections and benefits as their colleagues in other areas. And, to the leaders trying to recruit businesses by promoting their states' lack of union presence, it'd make their jobs more difficult.
But this most recent test of Southern acceptance of collective bargaining movements is an uphill battle for the union and its backers. The global aviation giant, which came to South Carolina in part because of the state's minuscule union presence, did so with the aid of millions of dollars in state assistance made possible by officials who spoke out frequently and glowingly with anti-union messages.
"It is an economic development tool," Gov. Nikki Haley, now President Donald Trump's ambassador to the United Nations, said in a 2012 address of how she sold companies on why they should come to the state. "We'll make the unions understand full well that they are not needed, not wanted and not welcome in the state of South Carolina."
At least that part of the tactic has worked. While some South Carolina workers have representation — just more than 1,900, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics' 2016 figures — most don't. Other major manufacturers in the state, including BMW and Michelin, aren't unionized or haven't experienced major campaigns to do so. The Machinists initially petitioned for a vote at Boeing in 2015 but withdrew the request because of what the union called a toxic atmosphere and political interference.
Southern states for decades have recruited manufacturers by promising freedom from the influences of labor unions, which except for some textile mills have been historically rejected by workers as collective action culturally foreign to a South built around family farms, said Jeffrey Hirsch, a law professor who specializes in labor relations at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
A successful union vote at Boeing would have a greater impact on the general view of labor in the South than efforts by autoworkers to unionize Volkswagen in Chattanooga, Tennessee, as a foothold for organizing other Southern car plants. Anti-union advocates could always cite VW as an aberration since representatives of one of its key unions in Germany hold seats on the company's board of directors, Hirsch said.
"Boeing is very, very different," Hirsch said. "No one will ever accuse Boeing of being pro-union."
A "yes" vote would be meaningful throughout the region, said Daniel Cornfield, sociology professor and labor expert at Vanderbilt University. "Given the dynamism of industrialization in the Southern region now, especially the development ... of the U.S. automotive industry, any type of heavy-industry union victory would certainly inspire other workers in related industrial sectors in the South to think about unionizing."
What strikes Cornfield about the Boeing case is the company's silence over consequences for workers.
"The company has not been threatening to relocate its operations in the event of a unionization," he said. "It is often the case that companies try to relocate outside of the United States to find cheaper labor and avoid U.S. unions altogether."
Boeing already may have abstained from those kinds of threats because of its huge South Carolina plant investment and billions of dollars in federal defense contracts. Threatening to move manufacturing would come after Trump blasted Boeing for its cost of building a new presidential Air Force One for future presidents.
"Costs are out of control," Trump tweeted in early December. "Cancel order!"
Boeing CEO Dennis Muilenburg met with Trump two weeks later.
"Given the recent pronouncements of President Trump about keeping manufacturing in the United States," Cornfield said, "it would be interesting and an ironic twist that President Trump is possibly defanging large corporations in their efforts to resist unionization by encouraging companies to stay in the United States, giving workers a leg up and unions a leg up in the campaign period."
Catherine Templeton, South Carolina's former labor director and successful anti-union lawyer, is no stranger to this fight. When Haley picked Templeton to lead South Carolina's labor department, the governor played up Templeton's union-fighting background and saying she needed her help to "fight the unions" at Boeing.
"They cannot legally deliver higher wages, better benefits or a different working environment. Even if they are promising it, they certainly can't deliver it," Templeton said.
On Monday, in a final gathering before the vote, several hundred Boeing employees gathered in a hotel ballroom just a mile from the Boeing plant, hearing from activists and members of other unions urging them to vote "yes" on Wednesday.
"Suppressing working people is the old way of doing business in South Carolina," Machinists organizer Mike Evans said, to cheers from the crowd. "It's not going to be this way anymore."

Question: Pakistan hockey hero seeks heart transplant in India

Pakistan's World Cup winning field hockey goalkeeper Mansoor Ahmed Monday reached out to India for help in securing a heart transplant - despite years of breaking his rivals' "hearts on the field".
The 49-year-old has been suffering for weeks from complications stemming from a pacemaker and stents implanted in his heart.
Ahmed has been a sporting icon in Pakistan since helping the country win the 1994 World Cup in Sydney with his penalty stroke push against the Netherlands in the final.
"I may have broken a lot of Indian hearts on the field of play by beating India in the Indira Gandhi Cup (1989) and in other events but that was sport," Ahmed told AFP.
"Now I need a heart transplant in India and for that I need support from the Indian government."
India-Pakistan ties, including sports and cultural contacts, plummeted after the 2008 militant attacks in Mumbai, which New Delhi blamed on Pakistani militant groups.
Despite the strained ties, Pakistanis are eligible to apply for medical visas to India, renowned for its booming medical tourism industry.
Ahmed - who played 338 international matches, participated in three Olympics and various other high-profile events in a career spanning from 1986 to 2000 - said the visa could be a lifesaver.
"Humanity is paramount and I too would be obliged if I get a visa and other help in India" said Ahmed.
Sport has been one of the few avenues to improve relations between the arch rivals, he added.
"We have had a great rivalry and sports have helped on a number of occasions so that should continue," said Ahmed.
India has suspended most bilateral sporting ties with Pakistan since 2008, with high-profile cricket tours bearing the brunt of the moratorium.
They have, however, continued to play each other in multinational events like the World Cup.

The specialist weight-loss surgeon said he and his team at Mumbai’s Saifee hospital hoped the surgery would help Abd Al Aty shed another 150 kilogrammes.
It would allow her to sit up and feed herself, something not possible in her present state. Following the surgery she will spend five months being closely monitored by the Indian specialists and receiving physiotherapy to exercise her muscles before returning to Egypt. Lakdawala said if the initial treatment was successful then doctors could use surgery to bring Abd Al Aty’s weight down to under 100 kilogrammes in a couple of years’ time. The Egyptian, who hails from the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria, was flown to India’s commercial capital in a specially modified Airbus on Saturday for treatment. Abd Al Aty’s sister had approached Lakdawala in October, saying her sibling needed urgent medical attention. Her family told the doctor that as a child she was diagnosed with elephantiasis, a condition that causes the limbs and other body parts to swell, leaving her almost immobile. Abd Al Aty has suffered a stroke and faced a series of other serious ailments owing to her weight including diabetes, high blood pressure, hypertension and sleep deprivation. Her request for an Indian visa was initially denied, but she was granted passage after tweeting a plea for help directly to India’s foreign minister, who intervened. Abd Al Aty had a long wait as no airlines were willing to fly her due to her health complications. Bariatric surgery is a stomach-shrinking bypass procedure carried out on those wanting to lose excessive weight. It is increasingly common in India, which has a growing problem with obesity, particularly in urban areas. India is a major destination for medical tourists seeking quality services and no waiting lists at a fraction of the cost of western countries.

Question: Questioning The Budget Does Not Make Me Anti-National

In many ways, the Economic Surveys of the NDA government have tended to be more honest documents than Budget speeches, especially with the sleight-of-hand of budgetary and economic figures.Take agriculture and the impact of climate change. The Economic Survey, released at the end of January, had a stark message: "Climate change can dent farm incomes by as much as 25 per cent in rain-fed areas over the medium term." The implication was clear. A vast majority of India's people are employed in agriculture. It is important for our food security, our economy and our social stability. As such, fighting climate change and investing in climate change mitigation efforts is a national imperative. It has to be more than a set of slogans and alliterations, whether in English or Hindi. And in real terms it boils down to a single, five-letter word: water.It was expected - or logical to expect - that the Budget would respond to these concerns. What did it do? It devoted some attention to how farmers access water. The core irrigation scheme for this is the Pradhan Mantri Krishi Sinchai Yojana (PMKSY), for which Rs 9,429 crore has been allotted. This is a 27.56 per cent increase when compared to the Revised Estimates of Budget 2017-18. That sounds impressive, I have to admit. But it also needs to be said that serious flaws and drawbacks of the Yojana have been ignored.A prominent component of this scheme is called "Har Khet ko Paani" - water for every field. This component has been allocated 2,600 crores to develop groundwater irrigation in 96 districts. Now, read the fine print: 2,290 crores is meant to pay the interest of the Long Term Irrigation Fund. So that leaves a measly 310 crore for "Har Khet ko Paani" to develop irrigation infrastructure in 96 districts. That is a little over 3 crores per district! The research fees paid to interns who worked on the Economic Survey probably worked out to more.That's not all. When launching PMKSY in 2015, the government had said that it would allocate 50,000 crores to the scheme over five years - or 10,000 crores a year. However, the Actual Estimate of 2016-17 - revealed in the 2018-19 budget documents - states that 5,133 crores was set aside in 2016-17. That was the first full year of the scheme. Now, for 2018-19, the third full year of the scheme - and the fourth year overall - (the scheme was inaugurated in the middle of 2015-16), the allocation has gone up to 9,429 crores.In not one of the four years has the target of 10,000 crores been reached. Not one. As a direct consequence of such dereliction, there has been even greater depletion of underground water. This has led to low productivity and smaller incomes for farmers even though the 2017 monsoon was above average. Who is responsible? Taking a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his promise of doubling farmers income in five years, Dr. Manmohan Singh said it is another election jumla with the government having no concrete plan to achieve the target. Manmohan Singh further said it was a hollow assurance as "To reach the kind of numbers they promised, India's agricultural growth needs to be in double digits estimated to be around 12%."Climate change has an impact on agriculture but is, of course, a cross-cutting phenomenon. The Economic Survey warns of it. The World Economic Forum, in its Environmental Performance Index, rated India at 177 out of 180 countries and served another warning. The Budget remains impassive. Allocation for the Climate Change Action Plan or the National Adaptation Fund, which is under the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, is unchanged.It's not just money that's a problem. A big role in India's climate action plan is played by the coal cess. This cess, the Clean Energy Cess as it is called, contributes to the National Clean Energy Fund (NCEF).According to a CAG report made public in December 2017, "Rs 53,967.23 crore was collected as Clean Energy Cess during 2010-11 to 2016-17. Against this, only Rs 15,483.21 crore had been transferred to the NCEF...resulting in short transfer of cess to the earmarked fund by Rs 38,484.02." In other words, only a little over a third of the cess collection has been transferred to NCEF. Of what has been transferred, only half - just short of 7,000 crores - has actually been spent on projects.Where is the rest of the money? Where is two-thirds of the coal cess? What has been done about the government's capacity to spend even what has been made available to NCEF?Shh ... Don't ask such questions. It's anti-national.

Question: Is Sally the Dunstable witch haunting local historian?

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Local historian Rita Swift is having a whale of time recounting the story of Sally the Dunstable witch.
The legendary sorceress was allegedly burned at the stake 600 years ago, with her malevolent spirit subsequently bottled and buried in Priory gardens.
It then turned out Sally was the invention of local headmaster A P Wire who was trying to shame the vicar into tidying up the churchyard. He penned an 81-verse poem about the Dunstable she-devil which became very popular, but which ultimately led to him having to resign.
Rita, a 78-year-old grandmother-of-two and vice president of the South Beds Association of National Trust Members, said: “Although the story is fiction, maybe there was a Sally many lifetimes ago who wanted to come back and just needed the right connection – stranger things have happened.
“We first met by accident in 2003 when I was doing some research at the library. An article popped up on Dunstable Gazette microfilm about Sally the Dunstable witch and I’d never heard of her.
“I asked around and was told it was only a poem, but several elderly friends remembered their grandmothers warning them not to go to the churchyard at night as the witch was buried there and watching.”
Rita learned there was a copy of the original poem in Luton Musem, together with A P Wire’s notebook.
She wrote an article for the local History Society newsletter and the poem was republished for the official reopening of Priory House. Dunstable Library asked if they could put it on their website and The Vine magazine made a similar request. In 2009 a variation on the saga was included in a book of Luton Poems and Dunstable Town Guides included her in their ghost walks.
Now the Queen can read about Sally too – she was given a presentation copy of the The Dunstable Timeline during her recent visit.
Rita has shared the story on radio and given numerous talks on the subject. She has also been asked to provide background information for a new film on the mythical character – Trapped Magic: The Broken Blade.
“I thought we’d laid Sally to rest,” Rita smiled. “But it looks like her story is just beginning. For a fictitious witch, she’s having a great time – I’m sure she was waiting for me to find her.”

Question: Mississippi imposing US’s toughest abortion restriction

Mississippi’s governor has signed the US’s tightest abortion restrictions into law.
Republican governor Phil Bryant signed House Bill 1510 on Monday afternoon. It becomes law immediately and bans most abortions after 15 weeks’ gestation.
Mr Bryant has frequently said he wants Mississippi to be the “safest place in America for an unborn child”.
I was proud to sign House Bill 1510 this afternoon. I am committed to making Mississippi the safest place in America for an unborn child, and this bill will help us achieve that goal. pic.twitter.com/O0O4QeILLx — Phil Bryant (@PhilBryantMS) March 19, 2018
The law’s only exceptions are if a foetus has health problems making it “incompatible with life” outside of the womb at full term, or if a pregnant woman’s life or a “major bodily function” is threatened by pregnancy.
Pregnancies resulting from rape and incest are not exempted.
Pro-choice advocates are calling the law unconstitutional because it limits abortion before foetuses can live outside the womb.
The owner of Mississippi’s only abortion clinic opposes the law and has pledged to sue.
Mississippi had previously tied with North Carolina for the nation’s strictest abortion limits at 20 weeks.
Both states count pregnancy as beginning on the first day of a woman’s previous menstrual period. That means the restrictions kick in about two weeks before those of states whose 20-week bans begin at conception.
“We certainly think this bill is unconstitutional,” said Katherine Klein, equality advocacy co-ordinator for the American Civil Liberties Union of Mississippi.
“The 15-week marker has no bearing in science. It’s just completely unfounded and a court has never upheld anything under the 20-week viability marker.”
The bill was drafted with the assistance of conservative groups including the Mississippi Centre for Public Policy and the Alliance Defending Freedom.
“We’re thrilled that Mississippi lawmakers are taking a step to protect the basic right to life, as well as protecting maternal health,” said Jameson Taylor, acting president of the Mississippi Centre for Public Policy.
Both Republican-controlled chambers passed the bill overwhelmingly in early March, by a vote of 35-14 in the Senate and 76-34 in the House.
The US Senate failed to pass a 20-week abortion ban bill in January. With 60 Yes votes required to advance, the bill failed on a 51-46 vote.

In 2017, new laws across the US will go into effect. Here are some of the new, noteworthy, and impactful policies:
Guns: there may be more armed teenagers in Tennessee
A range of new gun legislation will go into effect, and while places such as California are working to restrict guns, Tennessee is opening up its gun laws. Starting in 2017, 18-year-olds who are on active duty in the military, are retired veterans or were honorably discharged will be able to receive handgun carry permits. The age remains 21 for everyone else. The bill passed unanimously in the state senate.
Other laws:
More assault weapons are off limits in California, including semiautomatic rifles
Californians will have to go through a background check to purchase not just guns but also ammunition
Babysitters and other guests will be permitted to use deadly force against intruders, as part of Missouri’s new concealed carry law
Minimum wage: many states to see minimum wage rise in 2017
Minimum wage increases remain a contentious political issue but in 2017, a record 20 states and the District of Columbia will see increased pay for low-wage workers. The fight for $15 is on in New York and California. New York is working toward a statewide $15-per-hour minimum wage but Governor Andrew Cuomo has different timelines, depending on each industry and location in the state. California’s minimum wage will go up to $10.50, with the hopes of reaching $15 by 2022. Ohio’s state legislature took steps to block Cleveland’s efforts to reach a $15 minimum wage by passing a law that forces local jurisdictions to maintain the same wage as the state rate, which will go up to $8.15 in 2017.
The following minimum wage increases go into effect 1 January:
Massachusetts: $10 to $11
Connecticut: $9.60 to $10.10
Arizona: $8.05 to $10
Colorado: $8.31 to $9.30
Arkansas: $8 to $8.50
Michigan: $8.50 to $8.90
Vermont: $9.60 to $10
Maine: $7.50 to $9
Hawaii: $8.50 to $9.25
Washington state: $9.47 to $11
Several other states will raise their minimum wages later in the year. The Economic Policy Institute tracks all the changes here.
Domestic violence and sexual assault: hairdressers to provide support to victims
Starting 1 January, cosmetologists, hairdressers and nail technicians in Illinois will be required to undergo one hour of training on how to provide support to victims of domestic violence or sexual assault. It will also be mandatory for establishments to hang posters with helpline details.
Several California laws passed this year will also go into effect, addressing the prosecution of sexual assault crimes:
Following the Brock Turner case, California implemented tougher sentencing guidelines for sexual assault cases
California removed the statute of limitations in some rape cases, meaning there is no time limit for filing charges against an alleged perpetrator. Some say the move was inspired by Bill Cosby’s case
The definition of rape has also been broadened to include “all forms of nonconsensual sexual assault”
Alcohol and pot: Californians can get tipsy at beauty parlors
A new law allows beauty parlors and salons to serve up to 12 ounces of complimentary alcohol without violating state liquor law requirements.
In other substance-related developments, on election day in 2016, four states approved ballot initiatives legalizing recreational marijuana. Recreational pot will become legal in Nevada on 1 January. Maine’s law should go partially into effect in late January.
In Connecticut, advanced practice registered nurses will now be allowed to certify a patient for medical marijuana use (except for glaucoma). New York announced a similar regulation in November.
US election bright spots: gun control, recreational marijuana and more Read more
Health: doctors with religious objections will have to refer patients elsewhere
A new law amends Illinois’s Health Care Right of Conscience Act to require that providers, including doctors and clinics, who refuse services for moral or religious reasons ensure their choice does not endanger patient health. That means doctors must either refer patients elsewhere or at least provide information on alternatives.
The measure has proved controversial - a small number of clinics sued because they objected to giving referrals or information related to abortion. A judge recently issued a preliminary injunction temporarily preventing the state from enforcing the law against the clinics that sued, according to the Chicago Tribune.
Other new health-related laws:
More foam bans, more civics lessons
San Francisco will implement the country’s widest ban on plastic foam, which environmentalists say can take hundreds of years to degrade. The new law will ban the substance in food products such as meat trays, packing peanuts, ice chests, dock floats and mooring buoys, and even coffee cups.
In Tennessee, students will now be required to take a civics test before they graduate from high school. The questions will be similar to those on the US citizenship test, part of a movement to improve Americans’ engagement and understanding of the country’s democratic process.

Question: Why The Government Can't Bring Terrorism Charges In Charlottesville

represent this text to find a news title for it

When Attorney General Jeff Sessions was asked how he viewed the car attack in Charlottesville, Va., here's how he responded:
"It does meet the definition of domestic terrorism in our statute," he told ABC's Good Morning America.
That certainly seems to suggest the government is looking into a possible terrorism charge against the suspect, 20-year-old James Alex Fields Jr. At Saturday's rally organized by white supremacists, a car slammed into counterprotesters, killing one and injuring 19.
But according to the Justice Department and legal analysts, it's simply not possible for the government to file charges of domestic terrorism, because no such criminal law exists.
The Patriot Act does define domestic terrorism, and under this designation, the Justice Department has broad powers to investigate, said Neal Katyal, a Georgetown University law professor who served as former President Barack Obama's acting solicitor general and as the national security adviser to the Justice Department.
He said the government has three basic ways to approach the Charlottesville case.
"No. 1, this is a hate crime, under the hate crime statutes," he said. "The second is that this is a conspiracy to deprive individuals of civil rights."
"And the third is, this is an act of domestic terror, which isn't itself a crime," he noted. In short, the government can't file a criminal charge of domestic terrorism, but so defining the incident does allow it to investigate not only an individual suspect, but also any group the suspect may be affiliated with.
In an email to NPR, the Justice Department made the same point.
The commonwealth of Virginia, meanwhile, has charged Fields with second-degree murder and other crimes.
The Charlottesville case has again spurred a discussion about describing far-right violence as terrorism. After the al-Qaida attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, terrorism was associated primarily with radical Islamist groups based abroad.
The State Department has a list of nearly 60 groups, all foreign, that are identified as terrorist organizations. The vast majority are radical Islamists. And the government can charge a person — American or foreign — with terrorism on behalf of these international groups.
Consider this hypothetical: If the Charlottesville attacker emerged from the car and said he was acting on behalf of the Islamic State, he could be charged with international terrorism, according to Katyal.
Inside the U.S., the political debate appears to be shifting, with growing numbers calling for far-right extremism to be identified as terrorism. But that's almost entirely a political discussion, not a legal one.
On the legal front, there's still a good deal of resistance to creating a criminal charge of domestic terrorism.
"It's an incredibly broad label," said Hina Shamsi, director of the national security project at the American Civil Liberties Union. "There's a real danger of the government criminalizing ideology, theology and beliefs rather than focusing on specific criminal acts."
She said creating a domestic terrorism charge could quickly raise all sorts of political questions about free speech and religion. The ACLU opposes any such law, believing it could be politicized and used, for example, against anti-war groups or environmental activists.
Back in 1995, when Timothy McVeigh killed 168 people with a truck bomb at a federal building in Oklahoma City, it was widely described as the worst act of domestic terrorism to that point.
Yet he was charged with, convicted of and executed for killing federal agents and other crimes — but not terrorism.
The government has historically used the term "terrorism" as a general description for a range of violent acts, including those by right-wing extremists, as well as environmental, anti-abortion and far-left groups. But the specific criminal charge is never domestic terrorism.
Another case came to light Monday, when the Justice Department announced it had arrested a man for allegedly attempting to set off a truck bomb in front of a bank in Oklahoma City on Saturday.
The bomb didn't detonate, the department said. But its description of the case is similar to McVeigh's attack, claiming the suspect, Jerry Varnell, 23, was angry with the government.
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force is leading what's being described as a "domestic terrorism investigation." Yet the formal charge against Varnell is "attempting to use explosives to destroy a building in interstate commerce."
Not terrorism.

Question: Yet Another Trump Associate Is Getting Divorced

The Trump administration has a case of the divorcees. The Huffington Post’s Yashar Ali reported on Sunday that Jennifer Scavino, the wife of Trump’s social-media manager Dan Scavino Jr., filed for divorce in Dutchess County, New York, in mid-January. The records are sealed by law, so the reason for filing hasn’t been named. The White House declined to comment, and Mrs. Scavino could not be reached for comment (though she has not responded to Huffington Post’s request at the time of writing).
Scavino is the president’s former golf caddie who rose through the ranks and now manages the White House’s social media. According to a Politico profile and others, he operates like the president’s id on Twitter for better or worse or the worst. Despite his elevated position in a turbulent administration (he makes the maximum salary a White House staffer can—nearly $180,000), he’s largely kept his name out of the headlines.
In his tenure at the helm of Trump’s campaign social and White House social, he’s been responsible for such classic tweets as the one rallying Trump’s followers against Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash—a violation of the Hatch Act—and the one wherein Hillary Clinton appeared to be with a star of David, along with a caption that read “most corrupt candidate ever!” It’s now deleted, but Scavino said it couldn’t have been anti-Semitic because he celebrates Jewish holidays with his wife’s family.
He and his wife were married in 2000 and have two children. The Daily Beast reported last year on the family’s struggle with medical bills related to Jennifer’s chronic Lyme disease. They reportedly filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2015.
News of this divorce is largely notable because it comes on the heels of Donald Trump Jr.’s wife Vanessa’s divorce filing on Thursday, which itself followed ex-staffer Anthony Scaramucci’s wife Deidre’s filing for divorce last summer. Those two reconciled soon after, and have since dispensed marriage advice on Dr. Phil.
It’s hard to tell if the high pressure implicit in working in any presidential administration, let alone one like this, leads to an uptick in separations. You tend hear more about presidents introducing future couples rather than contributing to the breakdown of their union. Barack Obama officiated the wedding of two former staffers, and was a groomsman in the wedding of another. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s matchmaking is legend. Hillary Clinton’s matchmaking is also legend, but for very different reasons. And I suppose that for every dissolution of marriage on Team Trump, there have been reports of fledgling relationships. The rumored relationship between the two ex-staffers Rob Porter and Hope Hicks might count, despite how poorly that turned out for everyone involved, and so might the coupling up of Mike Pence’s nephew and Kellyanne Conway’s cousin. Love in the time of Trump is a strange thing.

Question: The Perplexing Psychology Of Saving For Health Care

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

Spending your own money on health care might mean that you'll be more frugal with it. That's the theory behind health savings accounts, a decades-old GOP concept that's sparking renewed interest on Capitol Hill as Republican lawmakers look for ways to replace the Affordable Care Act.
HSAs are like personal savings accounts — with a difference. As with a retirement account, money put into an HSA can be invested, and any growth in the fund accumulates tax-free. Withdrawals can be made at any time, and they are tax-free, too — but the money can only be used to pay for certain medical expenses, such as health insurance deductibles, or for copays for hospital care or a visit to the doctor.
Currently, HSAs are only available to people who have high-deductible health plans, meaning they usually pay a few thousand dollars for medical care each year before their insurance kicks in to pay its share. While HSA participation is growing, only about 20 million people out of the 176 million who have health insurance participate in these savings accounts, according to a 2015 report by the Association of Health Insurance Plans.
Why don't more people who are eligible for HSAs have them? For one thing, not everyone has money to contribute upfront. But psychologists and behavioral economists point out that even many people who have the extra cash on hand confront big psychological barriers to saving.
"How we think and feel is directly tied to our ability to make 'good' financial decisions," says Alycia DeGraff, a board member and secretary of the Financial Therapy Association. DeGraff says when faced with financial decisions about the future, many people simply get stressed-out.
"These stressors can become so overwhelming that ... we can become debilitated and ignore the situation all together," she says. "Or we can practice any kind of defense mechanism — entitlement, suppression, overcompensation, isolation, etc. — to try and deal with [it]."
This may explain, at least in part, why middle-class Americans are pretty bad at saving money in general. Only about half of us have money in any sort of retirement account. And those of us who are parents have only saved, on average, enough to pay for about one year at an in-state college for our kids.
Saving money is hard. It means setting aside what we want now for something we think we'll want or need later. And we live in a culture that offers a lot of pretty, shiny, things to buy RIGHT NOW.
Plus, we all pretend we won't get old or sick.
"People are predictably irrational," says Dr. Mitesh Patel, especially when it comes to money. He's a behavioral economist, physician and assistant professor at the University of Pennsylvania's Perelman School of Medicine.
But many of us really hate to lose money, Patel says, which is what makes the concept of HSAs is so appealing.
For example he and his colleagues published a study last year in the Annals of Internal Medicine on what motivates people to lose weight, and found that the way a financial incentive was framed made all the difference.
The researchers observed three groups of people for 13 weeks. They told one group to walk 7,000 steps a day. About 30 percent of the group did so. Meanwhile, people assigned to the second group were told they'd be paid $1.40 every day they walked 7,000 steps. About 35 percent of the second group did so.
Here's the kicker: Each person in the third group was paid $42 upfront and was docked $1.40 each time they failed to meet their goal. Forty-five percent of that group met the assigned goal, Patel says. People hate to lose money.
Another way to encourage more saving might be to make HSAs operate more like the 401(k)s that required people who didn't want to participate to actively opt out of the plan — rather than requiring people who want to contribute to opt in. "This creates a path of least resistance," Patel says.
Of course, setting up and overseeing such a plan would likely cost the government some money, he notes.
People with HSAs do use less health care than those without such plans, a recent study from the Employee Benefits Research Institute suggests. But it's unclear whether they actually improve their health. Prescription drug costs went down for people enrolled in HSAs in the EBRI study, but emergency room visits went up — particularly for lower-income families.
Then there's the issue of figuring out how much you, as an individual or a family, would need to save for health care — it's not easy to find out the average price for a medical test or procedure in your town, let alone how much that price varies from doctor to doctor or hospital to hospital.
"If you want to save for a house, you can pretty much figure out the math," Patel says. "But if you go to a doctor, they don't give you a menu for prices."
To really increase their health savings — or any savings — we'd all need to change our mindset, says Degraff, the financial therapist.
"People would have to first take a dose of reality and get real about their future selves," she says. Naturally, we thing our future selves will be "better, healthier, more financially secure," she adds. But, for many of us, health and income eventually decline with age. We need to save more now for later.
HSAs can be useful, Degraff notes, but only for those who have enough cash to pay their day-to-day expenses — plus a little left over.
"A lot of people don't even have a regular emergency fund savings," DeGraff says, "especially those that are already struggling to pay for health insurance."
