Question: How To Get $20,000 Off The Price Of A Master's Degree

Represent the article to find a fitting news title!

There's an experiment underway at a few top universities around the world to make some master's degrees out there more affordable.
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for example, says the class of 2018 can get a master's degree in supply chain management for more than $20,000 off from the university's normal price, which runs upwards of $67,000 for the current year academic year.
But it's not as simple as sending in a coupon with your tuition bill.
It's called a "MicroMasters." MIT, Columbia University, the University of Michigan and the Rochester Institute of Technology are among a dozen or so universities globally that are giving this online program a shot.
It's not a full degree, but a sort of certificate, and can be a step toward a degree.
There are things in it for students, and for the school.
What's in it for students: cost
Let's take Danaka Porter as an example. She's a 31-year-old business consultant from Vancouver, British Columbia, and says a master's degree was exactly what she needed to boost her career.
"I found that people were a little bit more respected, I guess, once they had their master's because it was like they had taken that next step to go a little bit further," she says.
But she couldn't afford to stop working and become a full-time student again. She owns a house, she says, and "I have bills, and all of that stuff that doesn't stop because I wanted to go to school."
When a friend told that MIT was piloting its first partially online master's degree in supply chain management, she signed up.
The tuition for a year in the master's of supply chain management costs $67,938. Her MicroMasters certification, though, is just $1,350.
It's called a MicroMasters because it isn't a full degree, just a step toward one, though Porter says the coursework is just as rigorous as if she were on MIT's campus in Cambridge.
"It requires a lot of effort and if you don't have a background in math, engineering or supply chain it's not a breeze. Like, we do have people that fail," she says.
Even if she passes the certification, Porter will still need to complete a semester "in residence" at full cost if she wants to finish her graduate degree. It's part of what MIT calls the "blended" program — online and on-campus.
Getting accepted is no easy task. MIT says it expects to admit 40 students a year into the blended program.
Some top schools from around the world are on board with MIT.
There's user experience research and design from the University of Michigan; entrepreneurship from the Indian Institute of Management Bangalore; and artificial intelligence from Columbia University, among others.
Even if students don't go for a full master's, the online course work can make them more appealing to employers.
Industry leaders who say they can't find enough qualified candidates are looking for very specific skills like the ones being taught. GE, Walmart, IBM and Volvo have recognized MicroMasters and are encouraging their employees and job applicants to take these courses.
Some students who are enrolled in MIT's on-campus program wish these online courses had been available to them before spending big on their degrees.
"If this was an option, I think I would have considered it," says Veronica Stolear, a graduate student at MIT from Caracas, Venezuela. She quit her job in the oil industry to earn her master's in supply chain management. Ultimately, though, she thinks her on-campus experience will pay off.
"The in-campus program is more expensive, but you're getting also the experience of living in Boston, interacting with people from MIT that might not be in supply chain but might be in like the business school and like other types of departments," she says.
What's in it for schools: getting the best applicants
You might be wondering what MIT gets out this arrangement.
Admissions officers here say they'll weigh applicants' performance in these online courses.
Anant Agarwal, an MIT professor and CEO of the online-learning platform edX that makes these online courses possible, sees it all as a way to filter the applicant pool.
"When you get applications from people all over the world, it's often a crap-shoot," he says. "You don't know the veracity of the recommendation letters or the grades. And so you're taking a bet very often."
And Agarwal says that should give MIT and other institutions a better sense of how students will perform — if they're lucky enough to get in.

ATLANTA — Tim Hardaway made a tying 3 with 3.3 seconds left in regulation and scored nine in overtime, including the go-ahead free throw, to lift the Hawks to a 114-112 victory over the Spurs on Sunday.
Mike Budenholzer, in his fourth season as Atlanta's coach, finally earned his first win over San Antonio, where he was a longtime assistant under Gregg Popovich. He is 1-6 against his former boss. "If we're going to lose, it's good to feel somebody on the other end was made happy," Popovich said.
It was only San Antonio's third loss in 19 road games.
Hardaway made the first of two free throws with 10.8 seconds left in OT for a 113-112 lead. Paul Millsap grabbed the missed free throw before Dennis Schroder also made only one of two attempts with 3.9 seconds left. Millsap scored a season-high 32 and had 13 rebounds for the Hawks, who had lost 11 straight to the Spurs.
The Spurs' Kawhi Leonard missed a last-second layup in OT. He also had a potential winner spin out to end regulation.
GAME HIGHLIGHTS: Myles Turner had 23 points and 12 rebounds to push the host Pacers by the Magic 117-104. Nikola Vucevic had 18 points for Orlando. … Reggie Jackson scored 27, Andre Drummond finished with 25 points and 18 rebounds and the visiting Pistons beat the Heat 107-98.

Question: India's Rahul Gandhi appointed president of Congress party

NEW DELHI: India's main opposition Congress party on Monday elevated Rahul Gandhi, the scion of the country's most fabled political dynasty, as its president, preparing to challenge the dominance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi ahead of national polls in 2019.
In a long-awaited move, Gandhi, the great-grandson of India's founding prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, was elected unopposed to head the party. He will take the reins from his mother Sonia, the party's longest-serving president, since 1998.
"The entire Indian National Congress family would like to convey our best wishes to incoming President Rahul Gandhi, and wish him a successful tenure as he continues to lead from the front," the party said on its official Twitter handle.
Television broadcast images of party supporters celebrating the news outside Congress offices in the capital, New Delhi, and the financial hub of Mumbai.
Ever since Congress was defeated heavily in the 2014 national election by Modi's party, Gandhi has struggled to convince voters, as well as many within his party, of his leadership skills.
But Gandhi was now geared up for the next challenge, senior Congress leader Ghulam Nabi Azad said on Monday.

"The entire country has lots of expectations from Rahul Gandhi," Azad told reporters. "Much before he was elected he has shown his mettle. He knows his responsibility."
Modi's depiction of the 47-year-old as an undeserving "prince" has helped sideline Gandhi since the last national election, during which time Congress has suffered some of its worst results in local elections.
The news coincides with state polls in Modi's western home state of Gujarat that are shaping as a test for the prime minister, who has been facing criticism for slowing economic growth and poor implementation of a nationwide sales tax.
The Congress hopes a round of state elections offers the party, and Gandhi, a shot at revival ahead of the next national elections, due in 2019.
Still, Modi remains immensely popular.
Nearly nine of 10 Indians have a favourable opinion of him and more than two-thirds are satisfied with the direction in which he is taking the country, a Pew survey found in November.
Modi's favourable rating was 30 points more than Gandhi's, the poll showed.

Question: Reaves bolstering Vegas' fourth line with smarter play

LAS VEGAS — After his first two games with the Vegas Golden Knights in late February, there weren't many fans who were happy with Ryan Reaves.
He arrived from Pittsburgh and immediately made his presence known with six penalty minutes in a home-and-home series against Los Angeles, both losses. The Vegas faithful thought team chemistry was ruined.
"Ruin the whole team, yeah?" Reaves joked Tuesday as Vegas prepared for Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final against Washington. "I apologize to Vegas."
Vegas wasn't the only one he apologized to. Reaves immediately went to coach Gerard Gallant after those Kings games to acknowledge that while he didn't necessarily agree with the penalties, he also would not be taking silly penalties and disrupt what Gallant and general manager George McPhee worked hard to build.
"He was up front, and he took responsibility, but I said, 'Just play your game, that's why we got you, to play your game and work hard' and he's been excellent ever since," Gallant said Tuesday. "He doesn't take penalties, he really doesn't."
Reaves believes it's been his on-ice intelligence and hockey IQ that has made him an effective teammate over nine seasons in St. Louis, Pittsburgh and now Vegas, where he's since become a crowd favourite.
"My fights have gone down every year," Reaves said. "I only had six this year and all within the first two or three months (with Pittsburgh). I think there's always going to be physical play in this league, and as long as I can keep up and and be able to catch guys and do it in a way that's not hurting the team, then yeah, I think I got a spot here."
Especially after scoring what may have been the biggest goals in franchise history.
In Game 5 of the Western Conference Final in his hometown of Winnipeg, Reaves scored the game-winning goal that sent the Golden Knights to the Stanley Cup Final. And in Game 1 against the Capitals on Monday, he scored the game-tying goal before linemate Tomas Nosek put the game-winner past Braden Holtby in a 6-4 victory that gave Vegas a 1-0 series lead.
"Playoff hockey you have to be a little smarter, you got to be a little faster, everything is kind of magnified," Reaves said. "I think at this time of the year the details have to be there for sure."

The Edmonton Oilers have recalled Anton Lander and reassigned Taylor Beck to the Bakersfield Condors.
Edmonton announced the minor transaction Monday. Beck was called up shortly after Anton Slepyshev was reassigned. The Oilers were hoping that Beck could bring his top-AHL scoring to the NHL, but he never got much of an opportunity to capitalise on his NHL chance.
Editor In Leaf 7h Toronto Maple Leafs: Auston Matthews Is Better Than McDavid
Instead, Jesse Puljujarvi logged more ice time and drew back into the lineup. After that, he seemed to step up after a rather slow start to the season.
Lander has 10 goals and 21 points in just 13 games with the Condors. He has been a force in the AHL, and will likely serve as another understudy forward on the Oilers main roster.
With Beck back in the minors, he can hopefully continue to lead the league in points and be an asset down there. Besides, it is better that he logs big minutes in the AHL instead of sitting in the press box.
This also likely signals that Puljujarvi will be remaining with the big club. The Finnish forward has struggled to provide much offence in his rookie season but has more step of late. He is also a force on the third line, creating plenty of opportunities with his speed. Not to mention, he has more drive in his game, and can also make plays on the fly.
With Edmonton’s forwards seemingly making more of a stride of late, Edmonton appears to be fine without Beck, and can have Lander at the disposal if they need another centre to draw in.

Question: Maharashtra LS bypolls: BJP leads one, trails in another

The ruling BJP in Maharashtra is leading in Palghar but trailing in the Bhandara-Gondiya constituency as counting progresses in the May 28 Lok Sabha bypolls here on Thursday.
At 11 a.m., the BJP candidate in Palghar, Rajendra Gavit, notched up over 80,000 votes while his nearest Shiv Sena rival Shriniwas Vanga was trailing at around 62,000 votes.
They were followed by the Bahujan Vikas Aghadi’s Baliram Jadhav at 54,000 votes and Congress’s Damodar Shingada at 17,000 votes.
In Bhandara, the BJP candidate Hemant Patle, who was leading in the earlier rounds of counting, suddenly fell behind Nationalist Congress Party’s Madhukar Kukde, who surged ahead with a lead of over 17,000 votes.
Elections in both the constituencies were marred by large-scale incidents of malfunctioning EVM-VVPATs with all the opposition parties and ruling ally Shiv Sena hurling allegations of foul play and tampering of the machines.
The high-stakes elections in both the seats, came in the wake of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ vow, to win the elections “come what may” — and his subsequent controversial remarks of using “Saam, Daam, Dand, Bhed” to bag the polls at all costs.

Counting of votes is underway in four Lok Sabha seats and 11 Assembly seats in ten states.
1. In Kairana, late Gujjar leader Hukum Singh’s daughter and BJP’s nominee Mriganka is trailing behind Tabassum Hasan of Rashtriya Lok Dal, (RLD), who is backed by SP, BSP, and Congress, by over 41,000 votes after nine rounds of counting. Politics here is played on Jat-Muslim and Jat-Gujjar rivalries
2. Given that Uttar Pradesh sends out the maximum number of parliamentarians, Kairana’s results will hold a national message – whether a united opposition versus BJP will be possible and feasible in 2019 or not. There were allegations of EVM tampering on polling day; repolling was held at 73 polling stations.

Question: UN says people disappearing in northern Mexico border city

MEXICO CITY (AP) — The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights has called for Mexico to take urgent action in the northern border city of Nuevo Laredo, where at least 23 people have disappeared since the start of February.
The human rights authority says there are strong indications that a federal security force is responsible. It says a local human rights organization believes there have been at least 40 such disappearances.
In a statement Wednesday, the U.N. office said that it had documented the disappearances of 21 males and two females, including at least five minors.
According to statements to U.N. investigators, the disappearances typically occur at night while the victims are walking along or driving on roads. Sometimes their burned and bullet-riddled vehicles are found on roadsides.

The Portuguese news agency Lusa cites police as saying Sunday's attack occurred near the rural community of Olumbi and that the suspects are being pursued. The dead include two teenagers.
This is not the first time fears have been raised over suspected extremist attacks in the remote north of the largely impoverished southern African nation.

There’s not a lot of home-grown players who get called up – especially at under-21 level.\nFor a long time, Curtis was the only one who was called up from the League of Ireland by manager Noel King.\nThere’s now three from Derry in the under-21 side, but Curtis was the one who broke the mould.\nHe starts every game and is one of King’s better prospects, definitely, and there are hopes he can become a full international given the rate of his improvement.\nI also think a move away would benefit him.\nMeanwhile, he’s the type of guy who doesn’t shirk away from a challenge.\nThe League of Ireland has improved dramatically in the past few years.\nIt’s a lot more technical than people would think and there seems to be a lot of players from England coming over on loan who have been playing under-23 and under-21 football.\nThere are lads coming over from Charlton and Birmingham because it’s more technical and physical than what they’re used to.\nSo I think League One would be around Curtis’ standard at this moment in time.\nAnd he definitely has the potential to make the standard in the Championship in the future, without a doubt.']>>  to <<['Represent this title to get a news article that provides more details about it', 'The Insider: Pompey target has potential to play in Championship']>>

LONDON — Supporters of a proposed footbridge and public garden in London spanning the River Thames have abandoned the project after support from the city withered away.
The trust established to build the Garden Bridge, which would have linked Temple with South Bank, shut down Monday after failing to secure guarantees for annual maintenance costs.
London Mayor Sadiq Khan had refused to allocate more public money to the idea, despite the support of predecessor Boris Johnson. Khan's refusal followed an independent report critical of the project.
The report concluded there was too much uncertainty about the final cost. The project was set to cost 60 million pounds ($77.8 million), but the report said it would end up costing more than 200 million pounds.
The trust described it as "sad day" for London.

Pyeongchang lies in mountainous terrain at the uppermost eastern corner of South Korea, about an hour from the border with North Korea. Normally, its proximity to the demilitarized zone, and the North beyond, would not be an issue.
But six months from now, thousands of athletes from around the world are set to gather at that remote location for the 2018 Winter Olympics.
Given the escalated tensions in the region — with President Trump threatening “fire and fury” and North Korea responding with plans to send a volley of missiles toward the U.S. territory of Guam — Pyeongchang’s location has become a global concern.
“You’ve got to know that [Olympic officials] are nervous,” said Mark Dyreson, a sports historian at Penn State. “They’re in a tough situation.”
Though the International Olympic Committee has resisted any knee-jerk reaction to the battle of words between Trump and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un, it is clearly listening.
Much can change, either good or bad, as the clock ticks down to the opening ceremony on Feb. 9. An IOC spokeswoman said: “We are monitoring the situation on the Korean peninsula very closely.”
This isn’t the first time the Olympic movement has butted up against politics or possible violence. No matter how often IOC leaders talk about “the autonomy of sport,” the real world keeps intruding.
“The Games have always been politicized,” said Michael Heine, director of the International Center for Olympic Studies in Canada. “From Mexico City to Beijing to Berlin, there are plenty of examples.”
The 1916 Summer Olympics — scheduled for Berlin — were scratched when World War I engulfed Europe. World War II similarly forced the cancellation of the Summer and Winter Games in 1940 and 1944.
In other instances, the competition has been shadowed by regional wars, economic depression, boycotts, disease and terrorism.
Palestinian terrorists raided the athletes village during the 1972 Munich Olympics, a siege that led to the deaths of 11 Israeli team members. At the 1996 Atlanta Games, a bomb exploded in a downtown park, killing two and injuring dozens more.
A Chechen rebel leader urged Islamist militants to “do their utmost to derail” the 2014 Sochi Olympics in Russia. Before the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Games, the Zika virus outbreak was declared a global health emergency.
In each of these cases, the Games proceeded on schedule.
Still, experts wonder if the Korean crisis might be different. Heine asked: “Will there be a tipping point? Could the Games be moved or postponed at this late date?”
When Seoul hosted the 1988 Summer Games, there was concern that North Korea might open a dam on its side of the border, sending floodwaters toward the southern capital city.
This time, the seeming unpredictability of Trump and Kim is most worrisome to Heine. He said he suspects that some countries — especially those where winter sports are that popular — might reconsider sending teams.
As a University of California professor who studies international politics, Steven Weber does not believe that athletes will be at risk in Pyeongchang, but he said the Winter Games “will give the North Koreans an opportunity to make a different kind of noise.”
“The thing they like to do is demonstrate their ability to disrupt other people’s plans,” Weber said. “It gives them a leverage they wouldn’t otherwise have.”
The communist state has demonstrated a growing expertise in cyber attacks that might allow it to cause havoc, if only momentarily, during the 17 days of competition.
“They might have the capability to turn the lights out for an hour … not to hurt anybody but to show they can keep this thing from coming off smoothly,” Weber said.
China could be in position to prevent such trouble.
Not only are the Chinese a major trade partner with North Korea, they also have a vested interest in the Olympic movement, given that they are scheduled to host the Winter Games in 2022.
Anything that tarnishes the IOC’s brand would damage their plans to make a splash five years from now.
“They want to be seen as an important Olympic player,” Heine said. “So the onus falls on the Chinese government.”
This influence could lead to a diplomatic solution as it relates to the Games.
Talks of forming a North-South hockey team and holding ski events north of the border have fallen through, but there could be time for other forms of diplomacy between neighbors still technically at war — their 1950s conflict ended by a ceasefire and the creation of the 160-mile demilitarized zone.
“Sports are one of the few things that could be offered to North Korea as a face-saver for backing down a little bit,” Weber said.
For now, Pyeongchang 2018 organizers say they are working with the South Korean government while continuing to prepare for next February.
It is probably too late to move the Games to another country. Short of armed conflict in the region, postponement seems just as unlikely.
“The IOC has very few options,” Heine said. “I think they will persevere.”

Question: Merck CEO Resigns From A Trump Business Council, Citing His Conscience

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

Merck CEO Kenneth Frazier is leaving President Trump's American Manufacturing Council, saying, "I feel a responsibility to take a stand against intolerance and extremism."
The resignation came after Trump was criticized for his response to the violence at white supremacist events in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend. The president, famous for his ability to be direct and forceful, was faulted for condemning violence "on many sides."
Within an hour of Merck announcing Frazier's withdrawal, Trump retorted on Twitter, "Now that Ken Frazier of Merck Pharma has resigned ... he will have more time to lower ripoff drug prices!"
In a statement on his resignation, Frazier said, "America's leaders must honor our fundamental values by clearly rejecting expressions of hatred, bigotry and group supremacy, which run counter to the American ideal that all people are created equal."
Frazier, who is African-American, said he was acting as both the CEO of Merck and "as a matter of personal conscience."
The rift did not seem to harm Merck's stock: The drug company's shares rose by nearly a full percentage point in the first hour of trading, to nearly $63.
Members of his own party have called on Trump to condemn Saturday's killing of a woman who had been protesting white supremacists as an act of domestic terrorism. The White House later stated that Trump was including "white supremacists, KKK Neo-Nazi and all extremist groups" in his remarks about the violence.
Frazier's departure is the latest high-profile exit from a White House advisory council since Trump took office in January.
After Trump announced in June that the U.S. would be leaving the Paris climate accord, both Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Disney CEO Bob Iger left his business advisory council.
Months earlier, in February, Uber co-founder Travis Kalanick left the same panel during the fallout from Trump's executive order that banned immigrants from seven Muslim countries.
"The executive order is hurting many people in communities all across America," Kalanick said at the time.

Question: Polish priest set for sainthood criticized for anti-Semitism

Represent this text to find a news title for it!

WARSAW, Poland (AP) — Pope Francis' decision to move the World War II-era head of Poland's Catholic Church a step closer to possible sainthood has hit a stumbling block, after two leading Jewish organizations and even Polish Catholic publications called him out for anti-Semitic views.
It's not clear if the protests will derail the sainthood cause of Cardinal August Hlond, but in the past the Vatican has taken such protests seriously and at the very least put the cases up for closer review.
In May, Francis approved a decree recognizing Hlond's "heroic virtues." Now the Vatican must confirm a miracle attributed to Hlond's intercession for him to be beatified, and a second one for him to be made a saint.
Hlond, born July 5, 1881, was the highest-ranking church official in Poland from 1926 to his death in 1948. He is highly respected in this overwhelmingly Catholic country for having rejected Nazi Germany's proposals for a collaborative government, and for protecting the church's independence during the first years of communism.

In its protest, the American Jewish Committee pointed to a passage in a 1936 pastoral letter by Hlond, who was Poland's primate then, that showed his attitude toward Jews and echoed the general line of the Catholic Church of the time.
The group also criticized Hlond's failure to condemn the killings of at least 40 Jews in Poland in 1946 by a mob and secret security. It argued that moving forward with the canonization process will be seen as an "expression of approval of Cardinal Hlond's extremely negative approach toward the Jewish community."
"It's very difficult to see how you can still claim that the man was a paragon (of saintliness) when the data is so explicit," AJC's director of interreligious affairs, Rabbi David Rosen, told The Associated Press.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center, a Nazi-hunting body, said making Hlond a saint would "further embolden" Poland's right-wing government in its "headlong efforts to selectively rewrite Polish activities from that tragic era."
The disputed passage in Hlond's letter reads: "It is a fact that the Jews are fighting against the Catholic Church, persisting in free thinking, and are the vanguard of godlessness, Bolshevism and subversion."
It has frequently been cited as evidence of the Catholic Church's institutional anti-Semitism prior to the modernizing reforms of the Second Vatican Council in the 1960s.
But Hlond also wrote that there are many "ethically outstanding, noble and respectable" Jews, and that all Jews should be "respected and loved as persons and as neighbors."
In what appeared to be a condemnation of German Nazi laws, the letter warned against "imported from abroad" anti-Semitism that's "incompatible with Catholic ethics."
"It is not allowed to attack Jews, beat them, injure them or slander them," Hlond said in the letter, which priests read out in churches at Lent in 1936.
He said it was "good" to support Polish businesses and avoid Jewish ones, but it was "forbidden" to "ravage Jewish shops, destroy the goods of the Jews, break windows, throw firecrackers at their homes."
Rosen, who has decades of experience in Catholic-Jewish relations, said the process of making Hlond a saint should be halted.
But the Polish priest promoting Hlond's case before the Vatican's Congregations for the Causes of Saints said the criticism is "unfounded" because Hlond's words had been taken out of context. Mgr. Boguslaw Koziol has discussed all the documents with Vatican experts, and insists Hlond preached love regardless of nation or religion.
Koziol believes that the whole passage — titled "From our Sins" — was progressive for its time and aimed to protect Jews from violence. But he admits it also included questionable ideas.
Hlond's critics "have focused on this negative part of the letter, but are not quoting any other part," he told the AP.
Catholic weekly Tygodnik Powszechny argued that the letter failed to protect Jews from the attacks of Polish nationalists.
It said Hlond didn't "suggest any way out of the 'Jewish problem,' or any good plan for a dignified and peaceful coexistence in one country. One could protest: these were not yet the times of dialogue. But one may also reply: shouldn't we expect candidates for sainthood to be larger than the routine thinking of their times?"
Referring to the July 4, 1946 pogrom in the town of Kielce — where a mob and secret security forces killed at least 40 Jews and two Poles who were defending them — Rosen said that Hlond "did not condemn the pogrom nor urge Poles to stop murdering Jews. Rather, he pointed out that the Jews were all communists or supporters of communism and that the pogrom was their own fault."
Koziol, however, blames Poland's post-war communist rule for Hlond's reticence. Any direct condemnation would have meant a confrontation with the regime and repercussions for the church.
In 2005, the Vatican shelved the planned beatification of French priest the Rev. Leon Dehon and launched an inquiry after complaints about his anti-Semitic views.

Question: Unknown substance leaves couple in critical condition near site of UK nerve agent attack

represent this text to find a news title for it

LONDON — British police declared a major incident Wednesday after a man and a woman were exposed to an unknown substance close to the city of Salisbury, where a Russian former spy and his daughter were poisoned with nerve agent four months ago.
Emergency services were called to the town of Amesbury in Wiltshire county in southern England, after the pair, both in their 40s, were found unconscious in a property Saturday evening.
“They are both currently receiving treatment for suspected exposure to an unknown substance at Salisbury District Hospital. They are both in a critical condition,” Wiltshire Police said in a statement.
Police said the two were initially thought to have used heroin or crack cocaine from a contaminated batch of drugs, but that more testing was now being carried out to determine the nature of the substance.
British tabloid newspaper The Sun reported that the two were poisoned and that samples were sent to Porton Down, the nearby government laboratory, for testing.
The Sun reported that security chiefs fear that they could have been poisoned with same batch of Soviet-developed nerve agent used on Sergei Skripal, 66, and his daughter Yulia, 33, who were found unresponsive on a bench about 10 miles away in Salisbury on March 4.

London’s Metropolitan Police Service said that counterterrorism officers were working with local police on the investigation, “given the recent events in Salisbury."
The places the Amesbury pair — whose identities weren’t immediately released — frequented before they became ill have been cordoned off in Amesbury and Salisbury as a precaution and police patrols have increased. The Sun reported that they are not known to have any links to Russia or security services.
Public health officials said there is not believed to be a significant health risk to the public, but this “will be continually assessed as further information becomes known.”

Britain says the Skripals were poisoned with Novichok nerve agent and blames Russia. The Kremlin denies any responsibility. Sergei Skripal was jailed in Russia in 2006 for passing state secrets to Britain. He was released as part of a spy swap in 2010 and moved to Salisbury.
That poisoning incident has soured relations between Russia and many British allies including the expulsion of hundreds of diplomats on both sides.
Yulia was discharged from Salisbury District Hospital in April and her father was discharged from the same hospital in May. Both were taken to an undisclosed location for their protection.

LONDON (AP) – Big Ben will fall silent next week in London as a major restoration project gets underway.
The bongs of the iconic bell will be stopped on August 21 to protect workers during a 4 year $38 million conservation project that includes repair of the Queen Elizabeth Tower, which houses Big Ben and its clock.
Steve Jaggs, keeper of the Great Clock, said Monday that the mechanism will be dismantled piece by piece and its four dials will be cleaned and repaired.
Big Ben has been stopped several times since it first sounded in 1859, but the current restoration project will mark the longest period of silence for the bell. It will still sound on big occasions, such as Remembrance Sunday.

Question: Sheffield man put behind bars for threatening to kill police officers

A Sheffield man has been put behind bars after he threatened to shoot two police officers who had come to arrest him.
Detectives were investigating a Sheffield shooting that had taken place earlier that day when two officers from South Yorkshire Police visited the property of James Maughan on March 6 this year, as part of the investigation.
When the two officers arrived at the property Maughan, of Fox Hill Road, Birley Carr peered out of an upstairs window, prosecutor, Richard Thyne, told the court.
The officers asked him to come and answer the door, but he refused, telling them they would have to 'come and get him'.
"The defendant said to the officers: 'Come on then, you know what these stairs are like. They're narrow, I'll get the first shot off'," Mr Thyne said.
Maughan, 24, was arrested at the scene a short time later, and continued to make threats to officers.
Mr Thyne added: "He said he was prepared to shoot himself, and would take them with him. He said they would be licked, which they took to mean they would be killed."
Despite the threats made by Maughan, no weapons were found at his property.
Mr Thyne told the court that no charges were ever brought against Maughan in relation to the shooting South Yorkshire Police were investigating when the officers visited his property.
Maughan pleaded guilty to making threats to kill during the sentencing hearing at Sheffield Crown Court on Wednesday, May 30.
He has previous convictions for offences of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, battery, causing death by dangerous driving and threatening behaviour, the court heard.
In mitigation, Maughan's barrister, Glenn Parsons, told the court that Maughan felt like he was the victim of an ongoing campaign of police harassment when he committed the offence.
"He has admitted that he was trying to put his criminal past behind him, but police were regularly his house, searching his home, none of which led to anything," said Mr Parsons, adding: "This put a huge amount of strain on his family. He's trying to support his partner. They have three children together, one of whom was just one-month-old when the police attended at the house."
Judge Jeremy Richardson QC sentenced Maughan to 15-months in prison.
He told him: "The threats you made were to police officers. I regard that as a serious feature of this case.
"The police officers are public servants. They, each of them, have a very difficult task to perform. They are deserving of protection."

Question: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle choose music acts for their wedding

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have selected the musical acts who will perform at their wedding service.
The loved-up couple are set to tie the knot at St George's Chapel at Windsor Castle on May 19, and they have chosen James Vivian, the Director of Music at the chapel, to lead the musical performances on their wedding day.
He said: "The Choristers, Lay Clerks, Organists and I are very much looking forward to this exciting day and are pleased to be performing at the service music chosen by the couple. We are also looking forward to welcoming to St George's musical colleagues from near and far who will be performing at this very special and joyful occasion."
On the day, James will direct the Choir of St George's Chapel, which comprises up to 23 boy choristers from St George's School and 12 Lay Clerks, who will sing alto, tenor and bass.
Another of the confirmed performers is Sheku Kanneh-Mason, a 19-year-old cellist who won BBC Young Musician 2016 and made his BBC Proms debut the following year.
He said: "I'm so excited and honored to perform at Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle's wedding. I was bowled over when Ms. Markle called me to ask if I would play during the ceremony, and of course I immediately said yes! What a privilege to be able to play the cello at such a wonderful event. I can't wait!"
Karen Gibson and the Kingdom Choir, a Christian gospel group from England, have also been invited to perform at the wedding service.
Meanwhile, the Orchestra - which is conducted by Christopher Warren-Green - will perform with Welsh soprano Elin Manahan Thomas and trumpeter David Blackadder.

Question: 2017/18 Premier League Fixtures Released: A Sad West Ham Fanbase

Represent the article to find a fitting news title.

June 14 marked the release of the upcoming fixtures to the Premier League season. Happy to put the previous season behind them, West Ham United look to pick up where they left off in their last season.
The collective Twitter reaction was less than supportive and rather sad. A lot of supporters took to the social media platform to voice their displeasure of certain matches and months of games; the collective groans for a challenging schedule is a letdown to see.
Firstly, West Ham starts their season at Old Trafford where they will face off against what should be a revamped Manchester United squad on August 12. The large (uncapped) transfer budget should promise plenty of turnover in the Reds’ lineup. West Ham can look to capitalize on the lack of chemistry and Premier League experience from some of the imported players who should be featured.
The groans from supporters about the Hammers playing Manchester United on opening day are unwarranted, disappointing, and sad. They are a top-six team, one of the most popular squads in the world, and have a payroll that dwarfs West Ham’s, but they are still in the same league. West Ham avoided relegation last year and despite it being a terrible campaign, they finished mid-table in 11th position, only five spots off of Manchester United; they are a beatable squad.
With player additions this summer and a manager motivated to earn an extension with the club, West Ham should be relishing the opportunity to show the top-six that the East London squad is looking to take one of their spots. This is the perfect opportunity to prove last season was a one-off of what West Ham truly are; a gritty, hardworking club who can grind out wins against tough opposition. After all, West Ham did scrape together a win against Manchester United in the last ever game at the Boleyn Ground late in the game. That should be the identity of this team.
Secondly, the hypocrisy of the London Stadium haters comes to the forefront with the new fixture list. With the new home of West Ham still a publicly owned building (for the time being), the stadium is being used for summer Athletics and has pushed the home appearances for West Ham back into September. Now, the same people who criticized the club’s move to the London Stadium are upset that the team will not play at home in August. These fickle fans are the very same people who will comment on the home schedule, stating that West Ham does not have any home games because they moved stadiums a year ago. And such is the problem with social media, with such a constant stream of news and comments, no one has to have any consistency in their opinions about the club.
Lastly, many people have complained about tough stretches in the season for West Ham. Specifically, the last six games: Chelsea (away), Stoke City (home), Arsenal (away), Manchester City (home), Leicester City (away), and Everton (home). Despite the Twitter rabble, it is highly unlikely that, with 20 teams, multiple venues, and other events at stadiums and pitches, West Ham were screwed over by the schedule makers.
Last season West Ham, as a depleted team looking to stave off relegation, played a Sunderland side with nothing to lose, an Everton side fighting for European football, a competitive Stoke City team, Tottenham who were in the race to win the league, and a top tier Liverpool team. West Ham blasted relegation away, securing six points in this stretch, and only taking one loss. These games were also played with squad players as West Ham was depleted with injury. This alone should be a wake-up call to anyone who is prematurely assessing West Ham’s season before it has begun.
There is no reason to be pessimistic and negative about the released schedule. Sure, it will have challenging games and stretches, but they should be viewed as opportunities for West Ham to prove they are better than last year and challenging for a top-six finish. With United in their name, West Ham need their fans to back them next season. Make the away games feel like home and the home games feel like an absolute party. Now is the time for West Ham United to take the next step forward.

Question: The Latest: Financial worker among dead in Canada van case

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

TORONTO — The Latest on the incident in which a van plowed down a Toronto sidewalk, killing and injuring several people (all times local):
9:25 a.m.
The president of Invesco Canada says one of the financial company's employees was among those killed in when a van plowed into pedestrians in Toronto.

Question: Pro-Brexit group chief denies breaching electoral rules

Represent this text to find a news title for it

LONDON — The former head of the official “leave” campaign in Britain’s 2016 vote on European Union membership denied breaking spending rules on Wednesday ahead of a report from the country’s electoral watchdog.
The Electoral Commission has not yet published its report on Vote Leave.
But Matthew Elliott, who headed the group, said the commission has concluded that Vote Leave broke rules by donating more than 600,000 pounds ($800,000) to another group then using the money for its own activities.
Elliott denied wrongdoing, saying Vote Leave acted “both within the letter of the law and also the spirit.” He told the BBC that Vote Leave planned to challenge the Electoral Commission report in court.
The commission said it was “unusual” for Vote Leave to issue a public reaction to its initial findings. It said it would publish its full report “at the earliest opportunity.”
The watchdog has conducted several investigations into the referendum, which was won by those wanting Britain to leave the EU.
Another pro-Brexit organization, Leave.EU, was fined 70,000 pounds in May for overspending and filing inaccurate records.
The probes have become entangled with inquiries into Facebook’s use of users’ data because the Brexit campaigns allegedly had contact with the political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, which used data from tens of millions of Facebook accounts to help U.S. President Donald Trump’s 2016 election campaign.
Former Cambridge Analytica and Vote Leave staffers have alleged that the group used its undeclared donation to pay a Canadian data firm, Aggregate IQ, for targeted messaging services.
Opponents of Brexit say campaigners’ skulduggery may have unfairly influenced the outcome of the June 2016 referendum.

The Prime Minister has said donations to the Scottish Conservatives are "accepted and declared in accordance with the law" following claims that a trust with links to the Tories may have been used to obscure the source of funds given to the party.
The Prime Minister was challenged by SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford at PMQs over the Scottish Unionist Association Trust (SUAT), which has donated more than £319,000 to various Scottish Tory candidates and campaigns over the past 17 years.
Under current Electoral Commission rules, unincorporated associations are not required to register and declare where they receive their money from provided they donate less than £25,000 per calendar year to political parties and candidates.

Following press coverage of SUAT's history of donations, the Electoral Commission said it was investigating whether any rules or spending limits had been breached. There is not currently any suggestion of wrongdoing.
However, the SNP has accused the Scottish Tories of accepting "dark money" and the MP Martin Docherty-Hughes has written to Ruth Davidson demanding that she be “honest with the electorate about who funds her party, and why it chooses to obscure donations.”
After PMQs, Mr Blackford “The Prime Minister cannot dismiss the scandal that the Scottish Tories have found themselves in regarding these dodgy donations.
“We need absolute transparency and someone must be held accountable - whether it is the Vote Leave campaign or the funding of the Scottish Conservative Party, our democracy cannot be bought.
“We know that Jackson Carlaw MSP, David Duguid MP and Douglas Ross MP all accepted donations from the Scottish Unionist Association Trust.
"The Trust has donated £319,000 to the Scottish Conservatives, yet there’s no information available about the people who currently manage the trust, no public accounts to indicate who its donors are, or what assets it holds.
“BBC Spotlight Northern Ireland has revealed the former vice chairman of the Conservative Party in Scotland - Richard Cook - was behind the DUP's £435,000 donation during the EU referendum, and has “a trail of involvement in illegal activity and foreign money.”
Mr Blackford added: “I gave the Prime Minister the chance to tell us what checks the Scottish Tory party had in place before accepting such large donations and ask, will she investigate the links between her Party and the trust with a promise to publish all donors and donations?"

Responding to Mr Blackford's questions in the Commons chamber, the Prime Minister replied: "All donations to the Scottish Conservative Party are accepted and declared in accordance with the law, and the Scottish Conservative Party works with the Electoral Commission to make sure that is all done properly."
Following reports that the official Vote Leave campaign is set to be accused by the Electoral Commission of having broken electoral law by breaching its spending limits in the EU referendum, Mrs May said: "I'm not going to comment on what appears to be a leaked report which the government has not seen."
A spokesman for the Prime Minister said that rules around election spending were set by the Electoral Commission, which is "rightly independent".

Question: Social media harnessed to expose white nationalists at rally

NEW YORK — One of the social media posts resembled a wanted poster or a missing-persons flyer: Photographs of men were arranged in rows, seeking their names and employers.
But the Facebook post wasn’t circulated by law enforcement in the search for a suspect or by relatives looking for a missing loved one. It was an example of ordinary people trying to harness the power of social media to identify and shame the white nationalists who attended last weekend’s violent rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
A Twitter account dedicated to calling out racism identified people who attended the rally using photos culled from the news and social media and listed their places of employment and other information. The account with the handle YesYoureRacist was created by Logan Smith of Raleigh, North Carolina, who said his followers grew from around 64,000 on Saturday to more than 300,000 Monday afternoon.
“I’m a white Jewish man. So I strongly believe that white people in particular have a responsibility to stand up against bigotry because bigotry thrives on silence,” he told The Associated Press. “It requires good people standing by and doing nothing.”
A website created Sunday dedicated itself to collecting the names, social media profiles, colleges and employers of people photographed at the rally. At least one person has lost his job as a result.
Together, the efforts showed that angry online groups can be used to renounce racism as well as promote it.
“The goal with online shaming is very short term and driven by people’s desire to feel as if they are fighting back and having an impact,” said Brian Reich, who’s written several books on digital communications, behaviour and political influence. “They are afraid, appalled and they want to stop it.”
But is it helpful? Reich said those behind these efforts “are arguably fanning the flames,” giving attention to a group — white supremacists — that feeds on attention.
——
THE END OF ANONYMITY?
Nicholas Brody, professor of communications at the University of Puget Sound, said the events show that in the age of social media, “nothing is really anonymous anymore.”
People attending a white supremacist rally decades ago may have had the comfort of knowing that their schools, employers and disapproving family members probably wouldn’t find out about their activity.
These days, not only can information be quickly and widely shared, but a lot of data is available about people on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Image searches and facial-recognition technology, meanwhile, can make it relatively easy to identify people online. Smith said he called out the people pictured in photos from the rally through a combination of tips from former classmates and others and online sleuthing.
But the method isn’t foolproof. In 2013, users of Twitter and the website Reddit wrongly accused a man of being a suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing. Reddit later apologized .
——
COLLEGE STUDENT IS EXPOSED
Peter Cvjetanovic, a 20-year-old college student, was photographed shouting with a group of torch-wielding protesters Friday during a march through the University of Virginia campus. Cvjetanovic said in a television interview that he didn’t expect the photo to spread as widely as it did.
But spread it did. And thousands of people signed an online petition to have him kicked out of school. Cvjetanovic told a local TV station that he is “not the angry racist they see in that photo,” but a white nationalist who cares for all people.
The University of Nevada in Reno confirmed Monday that Cvjetanovic is a student there. Spokeswoman Kerri Garcia said the university is “still monitoring the situation and reviewing information.”
A message left for Cvjetanovic through the school was not returned. There was no telephone listing available for him in Reno.
Meanwhile, Top Dog, a hot dog company in the San Francisco area, said one of its employees resigned after being confronted by management about participating in the rally.
——
‘DOXING’ AS INVITATION TO VIOLENCE
The practice of publishing private or identifying information — such as an address or phone number — about people online in an attempt to hurt, shame or abuse them is known as “doxing.”
In the 1990s, anti-abortion hackers infamously exposed abortion providers’ home addresses, photos and other information on a now-defunct website called the “Nuremberg Files.” Names that were greyed out indicated people who had been “wounded.” A strikethrough meant they had been killed.
Collecting and posting publicly available information, such as a photo of a person attending a public protest, is not the same thing, even if that can still hurt or shame people.
Paul Levinson, a communications professor and social media expert, called it a “moral obligation” to expose white supremacists for who they are, something for which social media provides a good opportunity.
Gordon Coonfield, communications professor at Villanova University, said there is an important difference in the reasons people get doxed.
“Doxing an advocate of racial equality is an implicit — and often explicit — call for violence against them,” he said in an email. “Doxing a white nationalist is a call for accountability. Compelling individuals to be accountable for their words and deeds online or off is not a threat to freedom of expression. It is the foundation of freedom of expression.”
Case in point, Smith said, he has received many death threats because of his Twitter posts, so he’s going to consider whether to continue.
“They got ahold of all my personal info and have been threatening me and my family and even my wife’s family,” he said.
Of course, mere presence at a rally does not imply willing participation. Tiki Brand Products, whose torches were used and widely photographed during the rally, took to Facebook to distance itself from the march.
“We do not support their message or the use of our products in this way,” the company wrote on its Facebook page. Our products are designed to enhance backyard gatherings and to help family and friends connect with each other at home in their yard.”

In this week’s roundup: Stories that break the hate.
It’s been a rough week in America. So, this week, we’re highlighting some of the glimpses of hope across the country.
Perhaps the tide is turning? From Tennessee, to Denver, to Virginia, hate groups and leaders have been ostracized, exposed and indicted over the last couple of weeks.
But first: Last Friday we held a Reddit Ask Me Anything on the antifa movement.
We want to expand on that by answering your questions about this new era of hate in America. Send us an email with questions about leaders, ideologies, movements and whatever else. We’ll answer them in next week’s newsletter.
KKK club gets denied a spot in a restaurant
Over the weekend, white supremacists from around the country gathered in Crossville, Tennessee for the annual conference of the influential neo-Nazi internet forum Stormfront.
Crossville locals went to great lengths to make the conference attendees feel unwelcome. And for good reason: according to records collected by the Southern Poverty Law Center, between 2009 and 2014, Stormfront users have been convicted of nearly 100 murders.
Conference attendees were barred from meeting at a local restaurant, The Beef & Barrel, the evening before the official event by the restaurant’s owner.
Organizers initially tried to keep the conference’s location a secret, switching locations inside Cumberland Mountain State Park, but dozens of anti-racist activists discovered the switch and spent the day protesting the gathering.
From USA Today:
“We’ve been coming to Crossville for three years,” said white nationalist Tom Pierce, a former Knox County Commission candidate in Tennessee who received 7% of the vote in his run for office. “There’s been no issues and no one has ever banned us. So what? There’s hundreds of other restaurants.”
Charlottesville rally organizer indicted
The man who organized the Unite The Right rally, Jason Kessler, has been indicted for perjury.
Kessler pleaded guilty to an assault charge in April and received a 30-day suspended sentence.
During a court appearance, he claimed that he was attacked while gathering signatures for a petition demanding the ouster the city’s vice-mayor. However, surveillance video of the incident showed Kessler had instigated the confrontation.
In Virginia, felony perjury carries a maximum sentence of a $2,500 fine and 10 years in prison. He was released on bond on Wednesday morning.
There’s a really good This American Life piece on the relationship between Kessler and the vice-mayor, who is African American.
Evangelical Christian leaders stand up to white nationalists
White evangelical Christians represent the cornerstone of President Donald Trump’s base. Now, some members of this group are leveraging their influence to get the president to take a stand against white nationalists.
An open letter co-signed by 39 evangelical pastors and activists from across the country urged the president to speak out against the the racist elements of his base and inside his administration.
The letter reads, in part:
This movement gained public prominence during your candidacy for President of the United States. Supporters of the movement have claimed that you share their vision for our country. These same supporters have sought to use the political and cultural concerns of people of goodwill for their prejudiced political agendas. It concerned many of us when three people associated with the alt-right movement were given jobs in the White House.
Alt-right ideology does not represent constitutional conservatism. The Constitution promotes the dignity and equality of all people. It maintains that we all have the ability to contribute to a just and free society.
Email leaker exposes how Breitbart intentionally fostered white supremacists
Someone accessed the email account of former Breitbart tech editor Milo Yiannopoulos and leaked it to BuzzFeed, resulting in a blockbuster story about how the right-wing news site actively worked to mainstream white nationalism. The story, which is well worth reading in full, is packed with jaw-droppers about how former senior Trump advisor Steve Bannon groomed Yiannopoulos to be the face of his publication and how Yiannopoulos touched nearly every important corner of the online white supremacist ecosystem.
For example, a video shows Yiannopoulos singing “America The Beautiful” at a Dallas karaoke bar while white supremacist leader Richard Spencer led members of the audience in Nazi salutes.
And when Yiannopoulos was writing a “big definitive guide to the alt-right,” he worked closely with Andrew “Weev” Auernheimer, a notorious hacker who works for the neo-Nazi website the Daily Stormer, and Devin Saucier, the editor of the white supremacist magazine American Renaissance.
Here’s an exchange with Saucier:
“I think you’ll like what I’m cooking up,” Yiannopoulos wrote to Saucier, the American Renaissance editor.
“I look forward to it,” Saucier replied. “Bannon, as you probably know, is sympathetic to much of it.”
Empathy for the racist
Theo E.J. Wilson went on an online mission to infiltrate the alt-right, and he found something he wasn’t expecting: Empathy.
After spending months talking with racists online, the black poet came away with a degree of understanding for the disenfranchised and confused white men he talked to in racist forums and on Facebook.
He blamed the left-wing’s demonization of white males for helping create the alt-right.
“If you are a pale-skinned penis haver, you’re in league with Satan!” Wilson says a new TED Talk.
Wilson’s point is that America’s new young racists didn’t just wake up one day with hate in their hearts. And he implores his audience to go back to their communities and set up discussion groups with people they disagree with — away from their “online echo chambers,” where they can listen to, engage and debunk hateful ideas before they take root in young people.
It’s a must-watch.

Question: Leicester Riders head into the unknown against Manchester Giants

Get Daily updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing! Could not subscribe, try again later Invalid Email
Leicester Riders play the second game of a double-header weekend as they take on Manchester Giants at Leicester Arena tonight (7.30).
It will be the first league game broadcast on Freesports after the BBL agreed a deal with the channel to cover weekly games until the end of the season.
Riders played Manchester on the opening day of the season, winning 86-70.
“We haven’t seen them in a long time, we opened the season with them which seems so long ago,” said head coach Rob Paternostro.
It’s like playing a new team and we’ve seen over the past few weeks they’ve put in some good performances.
The Giants have just two wins to show for their league campaign so far, but came desperately close to a third last week in Sheffield and could well have two new signings in the line-up for tonight’s game.
Locally-born centre Jack Crook signed last week from BC Rustavi in Georgia and he will make his debut tonight.
And Manchester are widely expected to unveil a new overseas signing ahead of tip-off, so preparation for the meticulous Paternostro has been more challenging than usual.
“There is an unknown to it, I know any time you can add new talent to your roster it benefits your team. Obviously, we know the guys who’ve been there all year pretty well, but we’ll see what their line-up is on the day.”
Having been in Worcester last night, Paternostro is hoping the Leicester fans can help bring the energy the team will need on the back end of a double-header. He said, “Last time we did it, having the home fans behind us in the second game was important. The guys all talked about what an impact the crowd made and we look forward to playing in front of them on Saturday night.”
Teams
Riders : Douse, Bernardini, Lascelles, Walker, Ward-Hibbert, Leonard, Gamble, Hampton, Robertson, Thomson, Holder.
Giants : Kadiri, Baba, Okoro, Bankevics, Rettig, Jones, Lane, Bell, Traianos, Harris, Rangeley, Crook.
