Question: Court: Questioning of Bullock's accused stalker unlawful

represent this text to find a news title for it:

LOS ANGELES — An appeals court ruled Tuesday that Los Angeles police detectives violated the rights of a man arrested inside Sandra Bullock's home when they obtained his consent to search his home and recovered illegal automatic firearms.
A three-justice panel of the 2nd District Court of Appeal unanimously ruled Tuesday that police detectives violated Joshua James Corbett's rights to remain silent during a police interrogation, and his right against an unlawful search of his home. Corbett was arrested in June 2014 inside Bullock's home, and he has been charged with felony stalking and burglary.
Corbett remains in jail and is being held on $2.185 million bail.
The Oscar winner was forced to hide in a closet while she guided police to her home. Corbett was clutching a black notebook with a two-page letter to Bullock and magazine photos of the actress when he was arrested.
Corbett was unarmed, but police later found several automatic weapons and illegal tracer ammunition in his home. The illegal weapons were found while officers were trying to find eight legal firearms Corbett owned, but needed to surrender due to temporary restraining order issued against him.
A Los Angeles Superior Court judge threw out evidence supporting the weapons charges last year after determining Corbett didn't give officers permission to search his home. The ruling came after Corbett's lawyers argued police had denied Corbett's right to make a phone call, ignored him after he said he didn't want to be interviewed, and coerced him to sign a consent document to search his home by threatening to break down his parents' front door.
"There is no dispute that Corbett's Fifth Amendment rights were violated here. The police ignored his repeated and unambiguous invocations of his right to remain silent and continued to interrogate him," the court wrote.
Tuesday's ruling also cited a note a police detective sent to a prosecutor handling Corbett's case about the interrogation. "Upon reviewing the transcript of the interrogation approximately one year later, (Detective Christina) Carlozzi wrote to the prosecutor handling the case, 'Doesn't look good. I honestly hope this can be settled without a trial.'"
Prosecutors had argued during the appeal that detectives would have inevitably found the illegal weapons, but the court disagreed.
"We are in the process of reviewing the opinion and deciding on our options," district attorney's spokeswoman Shiara Davila-Morales said.
An email seeking comment from the Los Angeles Police Department was not immediately returned.
Corbett's attorney Paul Takakjian said he was "extremely pleased and gratified" by the ruling.
Corbett testified during a hearing last year that he was going through opiate withdrawal when detectives came to interview him about his guns and felt that he was being threatened.
"He was threatening my family through me," Corbett said of a detective's statements that without permission to search his home, they would have to go to his parents' home with a battering ram.
He also expressed remorse for going to Bullock's home. "I'd already hurt somebody that I didn't intend to," he said. "I did not want to affect my family with my actions."

Now there's a guilty plea for a woman accused of trying to hire a hit man to kill her ex-boyfriend's new girlfriend.
The Valley News reports Monique Earle pleaded guilty Wednesday to two felonies. Earle originally pleaded not guilty in January and was released on $100,000 bond.
Last year, she allegedly offered to pay an undercover officer to kill the other woman.
The 20-year-old served two years in prison for that scheme which was never carried out.
Earle was staying in a homeless shelter last fall and was also pregnant at the time.

Question: Google’s Pittsburgh Offices Targeted In Nationwide Protests

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

Follow KDKA-TV: Facebook | Twitter
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) — Pittsburgh has been added to a list of locations where an alt-right group is planning to protest Google later this week.
Google has attracted a lot of attention since its East End offices first opened, but now, the building is scheduled to be the target of an alt-right rally scheduled for this Saturday.
The Facebook page says “FlyOver America, Pittsburgh, March On Google.” The focus, according to the page, is “to talk to the deplorables that made their voices loud on election night 2016.” Why Google? The alt-right group says it’s because Google has silenced dissenting voices.
“We saw what happened in Charlottesville. We don’t know what the response is going to be like here,” attorney and activist Felicity Williams said. “We don’t know how many people are going to show up [or] where they’re going to come from, so we should probably get together and plan.”
After this past weekend’s events in Charlottesville, the fear here is that the protests at the Google offices that are planned across the country could create rising tensions.
Pittsburgh was added to the list of cities Sunday.
“I hope that they are taking the necessary steps to prepare because, again as I said, I’m pretty sure Charlottesville didn’t anticipate what happened there happening in their city,” Williams said.
A spokesperson for the city’s Public Safety department said Monday in a written statement, “They did not request a permit, but Google’s property is private. Police will be monitoring the protest and will be taking all necessary precautions.”
Reactions on the “FlyOver America” Facebook page so far are sending a strong message — “not in Pittsburgh,” “go home,” “stay out of our city. Pittsburgh doesn’t want you here.”
But for now, the march is scheduled for Saturday from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
“We want to make sure that whatever action we plan, that we are keeping people safe,” Williams said, “but we are still able to exercise our rights and to make a statement against this coming to Pittsburgh.”
Mayor Bill Peduto tweeted Monday afternoon, saying they were aware of the event and preparing for it.
Yes. We are very aware of the event on Saturday. We are preparing, as all groups have a Constitutional right to gather in our country. https://t.co/EK0jHwZrD1 — bill peduto (@billpeduto) August 14, 2017
He later released the following statement:
“We have been monitoring social media and intelligence reports regarding potential right wing protests this weekend in Pittsburgh. However, we have not received any event permit requests nor confirmed whether any such protests will actually occur. We are preparing our public safety resources and are engaging with our community stakeholders. As Pittsburghers, we have zero tolerance for violence or hatred, and we will do everything in our power to keep our city’s residents safe. While we must respect First Amendment rights, let me be clear: those spreading hate, fear and violence are not welcome in our city.”
At 6 p.m. Tuesday, a community meeting will be taking place at the Kingsley Association. Anyone who has a vested interest in the planned protest is invited to attend.

Question: SPCA seizes 16 dogs from property in B.C. Interior

Represent the article to find a fitting news title

Dog owners were known to SPCA and had been convicted on animal cruelty charges in 2015
16 dogs have been seized from a property in Quesnel. Pixabay photo
Sixteen dogs have been seized from a property in Quesnel by the BC SPCA.
A July 4 press release from the SPCA says the dogs were being kept in crates too small for their size in a poorly ventilated area, with little or no access to water and with feces/urine-soaked matting.
Karin and Catherine Adams have been named as the individuals keeping the dogs.
The BC SPCA says the pair are known to them, and were convicted of animal cruelty in 2015 after an SPCA investigation. Their sentencing included a 20-year ban on owning animals.
“It is extremely frustrating when we deal with repeat offenders, particularly those who breach the terms of their sentencing,” says Marcie Moriarty, chief prevention and enforcement officer for the BC SPCA.
“However, we are pleased that these dogs are now safe and are getting the attention and care they need.”
Moriarty adds that the SPCA was alerted to the situation by calls from concerned members of the public, and their investigation went on from there. “These individuals are very, very well known to us.”
She says that in the past, the Adams women have been caught with even more animals in their care. The pair has made concerted efforts to sell puppies in the past, and the BC SPCA has also previously found distressed horses in their care.
“They are notorious,” she says.
The dogs include breeds such as German shepherds, a Yorkshire terrier, a retriever, bull terriers, standard poodles, Portuguese water dogs, a Pekingese, corgi-border collie crosses and miniature pinschers.
The SPCA says they will be recommending new charges of animal cruelty, and the investigation continues.
The women will face charges for violating the conditions of their 2015 sentence.
The SPCA currently have the dogs in a number of different shelters throughout the Interior.
Moriarty says there is no evidence the dogs were stolen; however, if individuals’ dogs have been stolen and they believe their dog may be one of the 16, they can bring their dogs’ identification to the SPCA.

Question: Kushner Cos. pulls request for tax break in New Jersey city

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

NEW YORK (AP) — The real estate firm owned by the family of Jared Kushner has withdrawn a request for a big tax break for one its buildings in Jersey City, New Jersey, the latest setback for the company in the area.
The Kushner Cos. sent a letter withdrawing its application for a 30-year break from city taxes for a planned two-tower project in the struggling Journal Square section of the city, Jersey City spokeswoman Jennifer Morrill said Wednesday. Opponents of the tax breaks marched downtown earlier this year and the city's mayor recently came out against the Kushner request.
Jared Kushner was CEO of the family company before stepping down to become a senior adviser to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump.
Kushner Cos. spokesman James Yolles said the company is committed to the "much-needed investment" in that area of the city.
The loss of the tax break is the latest blow for the company in a city where it is major real estate developer.
The 79-story building — One Journal Square — gained attention last month after Jared Kushner's sister, Nicole Kushner Meyer, mentioned her brother in a presentation in Beijing where she had hoped to attract Chinese investors in the building. Marketing material noted the "celebrity status" of her family.
Government ethics experts blasted the family for what they said was an attempt to profit off Jared Kushner's position in Washington, and the Kushner Cos. canceled upcoming investor presentations in the country.
The company said Meyer wasn't trying to use her White House ties to attract investors.
The Kushner family is seeking 300 wealthy Chinese to invest a total of $150 million in One Journal Square. The family was trying to raise money through the EB-5 visa program that grants temporary U.S. residency to wealthy foreigners in exchange for investments of at least $500,000 in certain U.S. projects
The company also is in danger of losing another tax break for the building. The shared office space firm WeWork recently pulled out as anchor tenant. That has put in doubt a state break tied to WeWork.
Another project is off, too. The Kushner Cos. once considered bidding to develop a 95-acre industrial site along the Hackensack River in the city for housing, called Bayfront. Last month, it was revealed the family had withdrawn from those plans last year.
The Kusnher Cos. has said politics had nothing to do with its decision to withdraw from Bayfront, and that "economics of the deal" drove the move.
As for One Journal Square, company spokesman Yolles said the project will provide 4,000 construction jobs and $180 million in tax revenue for the city over 30 years.
Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, a Democrat, is running for re-election this fall, and tax breaks to developers have become a major issue.
Unlike neighboring Hoboken, Jersey City has granted dozens of tax breaks in recent years. Fulop had campaigned to reform the practice, but critics say he has done little.
Another Kushner property in the city overlooking the Hudson River got a five-year tax break soon after Fulop was elected mayor. That 50-story building has licensed the Trump name and is called Trump Bay Street. The building was also partly financed with EB-5 visa money from abroad.
The Kushner family owns or manages 20,000 apartments, 13 million square feet of office space and industrial properties in several states, including New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Illinois.

The Hempstead Town Industrial Development Agency is to consider tax breaks for the $1.3 million renovation of a mixed-use building in Hempstead Village, according to its agenda for its Thursday meeting.
The building’s owner, Nader Enterprises, wants to renovate the structure at 131 Fulton Ave. to create 40 residential units and 10 commercial spaces to rent, according to IDA documents.
The application, filed in December, seeks a sales tax exemption and a 10-year payment in lieu of taxes, or PILOT, the documents show. By the end of the second year of the PILOT, three new jobs would be created at an average annual salary of $36,000.
The building is currently vacant. Its 2016-17 taxes were $99,059, according to the documents. The 42,000-square-foot structure has a market value of $788,800.
The IDA board’s policy is to start PILOT payments at the current tax level and freeze them for three years, before steadily increasing the payments through the 10th year, IDA officials said.
Board members on Thursday are to hear a presentation by Nader Enterprises about the application and could hold a preliminary vote on the project. Because the project is in Hempstead, four village officials are able to vote on the IDA board.

Village attorney Debra Urbano-DiSalvo said in a statement Tuesday that Hempstead officials are not taking a position on the Fulton Avenue project before the IDA meeting.
“Throughout Mayor [Wayne] Hall’s tenure he has pursued initiatives with a steadfast commitment to placing the people of Hempstead as the top priority,” Urbano-DiSalvo said. “The Village of Hempstead will continue to aggressively seek opportunities for job creation and the development of our community.”
Hall has faced criticism over a $2.5 billion downtown redevelopment project that includes mixed-use projects along Main Street.
The Nader Enterprises building is located just outside the village downtown area and is not part of the official revitalization effort, which the developer has said will bring 18,000 jobs to the village. The Plainview-based developer, Renaissance Downtowns, received $33 million in tax breaks from the IDA last year to build a 336-unit apartment complex on a parking lot across from Hempstead Town Hall at Washington and Front streets.

COLUMBUS, Ga. — In the wake of the failed controversial Camelot proposal, a Columbus Advisory Council is working to come up with alternative school solutions.
News 3 caught up with members of the Columbus Advisory Council. Some mentioned they were recognized as a council, on the same day the Camelot proposal was voted down, back in May. The group is comprised of Camelot supporters and opposers. They say they’re putting their differences aside, for the good of the children, specifically those with special needs.
Months ago, Muscogee County Superintendent David Lewis proposed paying $6.4 million a year to Camelot, a for profit company based out of Austin, Texas. Despite multiple reports of abuse that surfaced surrounding the company. As a result of the proposal, the Columbus Advisory Council was formed. Some members say, when it comes to assisting students with behavioral problems, the resources to do, are right here at home.
“Many problems that we have today because people were committed to educating children. The community was involved in a real way and our children also had a sense of hope about their future,” says Dr. J. Aleem Hud.
Other members of the council say, they supported Camelot. Lisa Jenkins shares why she hopes the council can come up with ways to best service, what they call, children in need.
“I was called by a parent whose child a very young child of eight years old..beat her and attempted to kill his sister with a screwdriver,” says Lisa Jenkins.
Jenkins says the child she’s referencing suffers from behavioral problems. News 3 is working to independently confirm this incident. She says, he’s just one of the many students in Muscogee County that could have benefitted from Camelot. Meantime others say, the millions of dollars that could’ve been spent on Camelot, could go toward the AIM program here in Muscogee County.
“They need certain educators, psychologists…cultural pedagogy is the best way to teach a child about who they are so that’s going on over there at AIM,” says Tonza Thomas.
Others are encouraging teachers in the community to speak up, about ways to help the council serve the kids.
“A lot of people don’t want to talk but I guarantee there are more teachers and there are more people in that school that have negative things to say..because they see it everyday,” says Waleisah Wilson.
There are more than a dozen people on the advisory council. Monday, they will meet with the school board, getting official recognition, as a council within the school district.
Lisa Jenkins wrote a statement for the board that she plans to present. Read the full note below.
“A goal, if not the goal, of this committee needs to be to find an appropriate treatment model for children who are severely, emotionally disturbed. The primary concern for these children should be treatment of their medical issue(s). The education agreement is important, but in their case, the medical component is most important. Schools are not medical treatment facilities. Such a facility or program needs to be found. Teachers are not therapists. Appropriate treatment models exist.” – Mike Edmundson, Lisa Jenkins, Bart Steed
“As for discipline, there needs to be an effort to not merely separate students from general students population, but a means of developing a normative culture that focuses on the root causes of the serious discipline issues.” – Lisa Jenkins

Question: My First Date With A Woman Was Nothing Like What I Expected & I'll Never Forget It

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

I can’t remember my first kiss. I can’t remember if I lost my virginity to a girl or a boy first. I’m not even sure who my first real crush was – I had a lot at once. But one milestone that I remember viscerally was my first date with a woman.
I had been having sex with Charlie for months. We were score-keepers together for the girls’ basketball team — Charlie because she loved sports, me because I just wanted to be close to Charlie. We’d take a school bus filled with sporty girls (purr) to whichever high school the game was at. Charlie would watch my breasts bounce as the bus went over Long Island highway potholes and I’d write cheesy poems about her for my creative writing elective. Then we’d take the bus home and go secretly watch The L Word in her basement, complete with Baked BBQ Chips and mini Kit Kats.
I don’t remember our first time being ceremonious — queer sex can be hard to define. I remember the first time she slipped her hand into my panties when we were sitting in front of my family's computer. I was sitting on one of those ridiculously huge chairs shaped like a giant hand. Remember those? I kept all my clothes on. And focused on my breathing while she lightly ran her fingers on me. I was so blissed out I didn’t even have time to panic. But that wasn’t sex.
I remember sitting on her lap while we hung with friends. Just being close to her was enough to make me wet. I was so wet that I soaked through onto her jeans and I had to pretend that I got my period and act embarrassed. That wasn’t sex either. And it certainly wasn’t a date. I grew up on rom-coms—I was DYING to go on a real old fashioned date but I didn’t dare mention it. I was scared to be out in public with her.
“I want to take you out. For real,” Charlie said to me sleepily one night as we lay in her twin bed, under her amateur artwork she’d made in school. I was flabbergasted. I thought our whole relationship would live and die in the fluorescent lighting of her basement and the public restrooms we snuck into during basketball games.
But once she mentioned it, I let myself fantasize about all the cute rituals we’d participate in. I wanted all the things the straight couples had: anniversaries, presents, and maybe even a promposal. It’s the 21st century, after all, I wanted the right to be as corny and basic as all the heteros in our school, damn it. But the thing I wanted the most was to go see Dear John in theaters. You know, that super cheesy movie with Amanda Seyfriend and Channing Tatum. In the commercials, he'd say, "I miss you so much, it hurts." I thought it sounded like the most romantic thing ever. Charlie said she’d take me that Friday.
BlockbusterUK on YouTube
I got the most orange spray tan Long Island could provide, winged my eyeliner almost to my ears, and wore a royal blue Hollister top with Hollister jeans. I thought I was the coolest b*tch this town had ever seen. Then we got to the movies and it was completely sold out. Womp.
We went home and watched The L Word instead. Charlie promised to take me out again the following Friday. That week, I found out I didn’t make our high school show choir. It had been my life’s mission to get in. Charlie said the date would console me, but I was embarrassingly over-the-top devastated. My dad has a hilarious home video of me threatening to kill myself all because I wouldn’t get to sing "All That Jazz" in a hand-me-down costume in a stuffy auditorium to Long Island moms sipping Pinot Grigio out of water bottles.
But eventually, it was time for our date. I was super bloated from emotionally eating all week, and my Hollister jeans wouldn't button. I was off to a rocky start. Charlie’s mom dropped us off at a pizzeria with a restaurant in the back (Long Island is basically made up entirely of pizza-restaurants and nail salons.) I welled up with tears at the thought of eating pasta. I already felt so bad about myself. But Charlie was so excited, I tried to put on a brave face. She looked so dapper and adorable, in her American Eagle polo, jeans, and men's loafers. She even slicked her newly short hair back.
I became painfully aware that we didn’t belong on a date at the restaurant. I fixated on how young we were, on how queer we were, on how disabled I was, on how fat and ugly I felt. I convinced myself that everyone was staring at us. “The waiter hates us,” I said to her. I thought we were a walking freak show. Our illusion as a couple had shattered and we were just some weird troubled teens that wanted fettuccine alfredo. It didn’t feel like a date. I couldn’t feel anything besides how uncomfortable I was.
Her mom didn’t answer the phone once we finished. My parents couldn’t get us for an hour.
“I know! Let’s split a milkshake,” Charlie sweetly suggested. I was over the whole thing, but Uber hadn’t been invented yet. By the time we walked into the ice cream shop, my tail was practically in between my legs just wanted to curl up and die. I didn’t think it could get any worse. That’s when the front door swung open
“GIVE MY REGARDS TO BROOOOAAADDWAYYYYY…” a gaggle of black and gold glitter piled in to the ice cream shop. The show choir that I had been rejected from had just finished a show. The next thing I knew, we were surrounded by a sea of jazz hands. While they shouted orders for scoops and sprinkles, I did my best to disappear. But it’s not so easy to disappear when you’re a teen lesbian couple, and one of you has one hand.
“Hey Dayna!!!!” Carina, an impossibly beautiful and chipper soprano sang at me. The rest of the group eyed us up and down. A pair exchanged sneers while staring at Charlie’s masculine countenance. “Dykes,” one of them whispered. That’s when I sprinted outside.
Once Charlie caught up to me, she was in tears. “I thought you wanted a cute date,” she started. “I DO, BUT NOT LIKE THIS,” I screamed. “I just want to be older, and pretty, and covered in tattoos living in a lesbian-populated city.” I wailed. I exploded into tears.
Charlie held me while I sobbed and sobbed. “I just really wish I had made the show choir,” I whispered over and over. But she knew what I was really upset about. Her mom eventually picked us up, and Charlie held my hand the whole car ride home.
“Dayna’s gonna be on Broadway someday, isn’t she mom?” she said, giving my hand a tight squeeze.
That night, we had sex. All of our sex, like I said, blurred together. But this time stood out because I remember really feeling her, feeling our bodies together. I used to have sex with my bra on because I was so self-conscious, but this time, when she went to undress me, I didn’t hesitate. Even though I couldn’t button my Hollister jeans and I was full of carbs and ice cream, nothing could get in the way of my desire for her. Our bodies fell into each other, We were hiding in one another, and finding one another in each other. Nakedness finally didn’t feel uncomfortable. It felt like, excuse me for saying something so vile, making love.
So our first date wasn’t a total success or a horrific disaster. I’ve since gone on countless dates and I will never forget that one. But to this day I refuse to go on ice cream dates for fear of getting hate-crimed by a high school show choir.

Question: Secret Service Says 'No System For Keeping Track' Of Mar-A-Lago Visitors

Mar-a-Lago, President Trump's private club and winter White House in Palm Beach, Fla., is a casual place. And so, it seems, are any official records of those who visits him there.
There "is no system for keeping track of presidential visitors at Mar-a-Lago, as there is at the White House complex," Special Agent Kim Campbell said in a legal filing. She said the Secret Service conducted a lengthy search, only to find "there is no grouping, listing, or set of records that would reflect presidential visitors at Mar-a-Lago."
That is hard to believe, said Noah Bookbinder, executive director of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, which is suing for the records.
Minus any records of presidential visitors, Bookbinder said, "it suggests Mar-a-Lago members and their guests could have access without any sort of vetting or accountability."
The club doubled its membership initiation fee this year to $200,000.
Campbell said the latest search turned up a "few scattered pieces of Mar-a-Lago presidential visitor information found in paper or electronic documents."
Government lawyers filed her statement Wednesday in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, filed by CREW, the National Security Archive and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University.
The lawsuit so far has produced just 22 names — members of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's traveling party on his official visit in February.
Then-President Barack Obama began routinely releasing White House visitor logs in 2009, after CREW sued. Obama set exceptions for national security or a "necessarily confidential nature," like meeting with nominees.
Trump stopped the White House disclosures. Administration lawyers argue that records on presidential visitors should be broadly exempt from the Freedom of Information Act.
In the Mar-a-Lago case, Bookbinder said, "It appears they're saying they found stuff, but these things are not covered by FOIA."
CREW and the other plaintiffs plan to file their response in a few days.

Josh Groban dissed Mariah Carey after her disastrous NYE performance, but it was all in jest, and now the singer is apologizing for his sarcastic response.
Minutes after Mariah Carey‘s NYE performance, singer Josh Groban tweeted: “Any time one of the greatest voices of my generation lip syncs an angel loses its wings.”
The tweet was not taken lightly. Mariah fans hated on Josh, and led him to delete his tweet.
The next day, on January 1, Josh wrote on Twitter: “Deleted my tweets about a certain performance because it was made in humor but taken way more meanly than intended. Not out to diss artists.”
Mariah stunned the world when she botched her New Year’s Eve performance during Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve on December 31. The performance was full of flubs, including lip-synching, poorly executed dance moves and then, completely giving up at the end.
Josh’s joke was a play on the famous line “every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings” from the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life.”
We don’t think he meant any harm, but tweets can definitely be misconstrued! We’re glad he apologized for his remarks, which were seen as very mean by some.
Mariah is already moving on from the talked-about performance. She wrote on her own Twitter on January 1, “Sh*t happens… Have a happy and healthy new year everybody! Here’s to making more headlines in 2017!”
Despite her casual tweet, sources told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY: “She may have tried to play it off with a silly tweet, as any artist would, but she’s a perfectionist who cares a lot about her image and her fans.” The source continued: “Mariah is not happy about the technical difficulties at all.”
HollywoodLifers, do you think Josh was trying to be mean to Mariah? Or was he just kidding? Do you accept his apology?

Question: Arch-Brexiteer Gove says - No senior British ministers will resign over Brexit

LONDON (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Theresa May will not face any ministerial resignations after a meeting of her senior ministers on Friday to resolve differences over leaving the European Union, environment minister Michael Gove said on Wednesday.
Britain's Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Michael Gove talks about the planned cabinet meeting, at the Prime Minister's official country residence Chequers later this week, on the BBC radio Today programme in London, Britain, July 4, 2018. Jeff Overs/BBC/Handout via REUTERS
May has called a crunch meeting of senior ministers at her country residence, Chequers, to overcome bitter rifts over how Britain should leave the European Union and they will aim to agree the contents of a so-called white paper policy document.
Gove, a prominent campaigner for leaving the European Union during the 2016 referendum, said the prime minister should be allowed to present her case on Friday and played down the likelihood of any senior ministers resigning.
Slideshow (2 Images)
“I don’t think so, no,” Gove told the BBC in an interview when asked if any ministers will be resigning.
The outcome of Friday’s meeting is seen as critical to moving Brexit negotiations forward because the EU have complained that talks have stalled because they do not know enough about Britain wants from its future relationship.
The most difficult issue for May to settle is what future customs regime Britain will try to agree to with the EU.
It is unclear what May will present to her cabinet, but those wanting a “clean break” with the EU fear she will try to force them into a compromise on customs that will keep Britain firmly in the bloc’s sphere, as desired by some companies and several ministers.

Theresa May has said she is providing calm leadership with the full support of her cabinet, as she attended an event in Maidenhead. She did not respond directly to a question about members of the Conservative party who do not support her leadership

Question: Gaza faces electricity crisis as power plant runs out of fuel

(CNN) Gaza's only power plant has run out of fuel, leaving 2 million residents of the coastal enclave with only four hours of electricity a day in what the UN cautions could be the tipping point to making Gaza "unlivable."
The Palestinian Authority in the West Bank and Hamas in Gaza blame each other for the energy shortage.
The power generating authority in Gaza says it cannot afford to buy more fuel for the plant -- mostly because of taxes imposed by the Palestinian Authority. The Palestinian Authority claims that the Hamas officials in Gaza are simply incapable of running the plant efficiently.
In January, as wide-scale protests erupted in Gaza sparked by the lack of electricity, Qatar and Turkey agreed to provide a 3-month supply of fuel for the power plant, enough for 6-12 hours of electricity a day.
That supply was exhausted on Sunday, forcing Gazans to prepare for a life with even less electricity. Gaza will only have access to electricity imported from Israel and Egypt, which meets less than a third of demand.
The Gaza Ministry of Health on Monday warned of a health crisis and the possibility of delayed or canceled surgeries if the disagreement isn't resolved within 48 hours.
"If, in two days from today, the issue will not be solved, then we will have to cancel between 200-250 surgeries a day," Dr. Ashraf Al Qedra, a spokesman for the Ministry of Health, said.
"All will be affected by the electricity cut."
Lives 'start when the electricity comes on'
Customers visit a food stand in Gaza during an April 14 blackout.
"It totally changed our daily lives into focusing only on when we have electricity," said Nivin Abu Marahil, 35, from central Gaza. "We have changed three refrigerator and four washing machines (in 10 years), as they get damaged each time the electricity goes off and on.
"We stopped buying food that we should store in a fridge. We buy every day what we need to cook on that day. Our lives start when the electricity is on, no matter if it does at night or during the day."
At a news conference held Monday, Gaza power authority Deputy Chairman Fathi al-Sheikh Khalil accused the Palestinian Authority and Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah of attempting to "ignite an electricity crisis in Gaza."
Khalil said fuel taxes imposed by the Palestinian Authority more than double the cost of fuel and make it impossible to operate the plant consistently.
"We demand that everyone press the government of Hamdallah to stop the taxation of fuel stations so we can buy and operate the power plant," Khalil said.
UN: Gaza approaching 'tipping point'
Fuad Al-Shobaki, the director-general of the Palestinian Authority's Petroleum Authority in the West Bank, blamed Hamas for manufacturing a crisis, saying in a statement released last week that there was no electricity shortage in Gaza before Hamas took over more than 10 years ago. He said Hamas was unable "to cover their inability to manage the Gaza Strip."
The fuel shortage is one more problem for Hamas-controlled Gaza, which is already dealing with soaring unemployment and a lack of drinkable water.
Robert Piper, the UN deputy special coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process, told The Jerusalem Post: "The UN has been warning for some years that the chronic problems of Gaza are accumulating to the extent that we may be approaching a tipping point at which Gaza becomes unlivable."
Gaza also has to contend with an Israeli land and sea blockade and restrictions on movements of goods and people, which Piper said is the primary cause of Gaza's problems, making a viable economy in Gaza impossible. The border with Egypt is also closed most of the time, opening only rarely for short periods.
A deepening rift
Gaza's only power plant has run out of fuel.
The dispute over fuel is the latest flare-up in a long-running feud between the Fatah-led Palestinian Authority and Hamas, a militant Islamist group which ousted Fatah when it took over Gaza in 2007. Last week, the Palestinian Authority cut the salaries of Fatah employees in Gaza in an attempt to put economic pressure on Hamas.
The decision was met with protests in Gaza, even by Fatah members, who were angry about the timing of the cuts. Mohammad, a Palestinian Authority employee in Gaza who did not want CNN to use his last name for safety reasons, said his salary was cut from approximately $1,000 a month to $700.
"I would happily have accepted this decision if it was in favor of bringing people together and reconciliation," Mohammad said, "but I know it will bring us a worse life than what we have now. People in the street see this step as the drums of war."
Last week, Prime Minister Hamdallah demanded that Hamas cede power to the Palestinian Authority, according to WAFA, the Palestinian Authority news agency.
Hamdallah said the salaries would be reimbursed once Hamas accepts Palestinian Authority governance. A Fatah delegation will head to Gaza next week to attempt to advance reconciliation between the West Bank and Gaza, seen as a necessary step for aspirations of a Palestinian state.

JERUSALEM (AP) — The International Committee of the Red Cross is sending surgeons, nurses, physiotherapists, drugs and equipment to Gaza to support the overburdened local health system, focusing on patients wounded by Israeli fire in recent border protests.
The Red Cross said on Thursday that out of more than 3,600 Palestinians wounded by gunfire since late March, about 1,350 will need between three to five surgeries each. The agency will open a 50-bed surgical unit and its surgeons will perform about half of an estimated 4,000 surgeries.
It says such a caseload would overwhelm any health system, and that the situation in Gaza is worsened by chronic shortages of drugs, equipment, and electricity.
Gaza has endured a border blockade by Israel and Egypt since the Islamic militant Hamas seized the territory in 2007.

Question: Federal government hands over erosion control projects to communities in FCT

Represent this text to find a news title for it

The Federal Government, yesterday, handed over the soil erosion and flood control project to Veritas University, Bwari, Saburi and Kubwa communities in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), to prevent flooding and ease pedestrian and vehicular access.
Speaking at the inauguration and handing over, Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, said the completion of the project would enhance the living standard of the people and at the same time reduce dangers to life and property associated with erosion and persistent flooding which have been experienced in communities in recent times.
He further said the enormous challenges faced by the university, as a result of bad roads and soil erosion over the years can not be overemphasised.
Mustapha implored the entire community to cherish the laudable projects and protect it from any misuse and further decay.
In her address, Permanent Secretary of the Ecological Fund Office (EFO), Habiba Lawal, also appealed to the benefiting communities to jealously guard the project and prevent indiscriminate dumping of refuse into the constructed drainage channels.
“The commissioning and handing over of this laudable project to the benefactors will no doubt make them take over the ownership of the project, to ensure its maintenance and sustainability. The resources which the Federal Government had committed to this project must not be allowed to waste.
Also speaking, Managing Partner of Asonic Associates Limited and project contractor, Gbenga Ajayi, said the erosion control project cost the government an estimate of N750million.

The Chairman of the Governing Board of the Niger Delta Development Commission, NDDC, Senator Victor Ndoma-Egba, SAN, has challenged universities to collaborate with development agencies in carrying out studies to help communities surmount environmental challenges.
Senator Ndoma-Egba stated this during a courtesy visit by the Vice-Chancellor of the Cross River State University of Technology, CRUTECH,Professor Anthony Owan-Enoh, at the NDDC headquarters in Port Harcourt.
The Chairman threw the challenge to universities against the backdrop of the recent landslide and flooding which cut off a section of the Batriko-Bumaji Road in Cross River State.
Senator Ndoma-Egba said that time has come for the NDDC to look inwards for homegrown capacity. He declared: “We need to partner with educational institutions to undertake studies for the benefit of our communities. We will certainly look inwards to tap the intellectual resources from our universities. We need to partner with them to enhance our service delivery.”
The NDDC Chairman stated that education was an important aspect of the NDDC mandate, noting: “The real resource of any nation is the education of its young people. If you want to invest in a nation, education of the youths is the best option.”
Senator Ndoma-Egba assured the Vice-Chancellor that the ultra-modern university hostel being built by NDDC in CRUTECH was very close to completion. He added: “We are eager to add it to the list of projects to be commissioned in November as part of the activities to mark the one year anniversary of the current board and management of the NDDC.”
The Vice-Chancellor, Prof. Owan-Enoh, thanked the NDDC for building a 500-bed hostel for the university, describing it as an outstanding project.
He said: “The hostel is about 99 per cent ready. It will be a delight to have it fully completed and commissioned during our convocation ceremony next month.”
Prof. Owan-Enoh told the NDDC Chairman that the university was handicapped in many areas. “Apart from the hostel, which we need urgently, we also need help in the construction of internal road networks in our campuses. We equally appeal to NDDC to assist us with the provision of equipment for our engineering departments.”
Meanwhile, Senator Ndoma-Egba had earlier received members of the Bumaji Development Association in Boki Local Government Area of Cross River State. He commiserated with the communities affected by the landslide that occurred on September 18 in Bumaji.
According to the NDDC Chairman, the area had one of the most difficult terrains in Nigeria, which made the disaster even more difficult for the people to cope.
He declared that NDDC was already doing something about the road cut off by the landslide, adding that it was now more urgent. “Sooner than later you will see the hands of the NDDC,” he assured.
He stressed the need to undertake some studies on the landslide phenomenon in the area, adding: “there is need to carry out a seismic study of the area. This is not just for the region but for the country.”
The Bumaji delegation, led by Hon. Cletus Obun, called for assistance from the NDDC following the disaster that befell their communities. They lamented: “We have never had government presence in our area. All we have got, so far, is the Boki-Obanlinku Road project awarded by NDDC in 2013 through the efforts of Senator Ndoma-Egba.”
Hon. Obun stated: “We need help urgently and NDDC is our last bus stop. We have no other place to run to. NDDC should help us to complete the road that it has already started.”
He pleaded for a thorough review of the situation in the area to avert future disasters, stating that the landslide had caused a lot of destruction for his people. ‘We are facing a humanitarian crisis. The road and the only bridge linking various communities have been destroyed and our people are completely cut off,” he said.

Question: Michigan State's crisis affected Tom Izzo and his program

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

Michigan State guard Miles Bridges (22) and forward Gavin Schilling walk off the court after the team lost to Syracuse 55-53 in a second round game in the NCAA college basketball tournament, Sunday in Detroit. Carlos Osorio  The Associated Press
DETROIT >> Tom Izzo walked into his final news conference before a game this season and saw Michigan States interim president conducting interviews.
The Hall of Fame coach sat down and gazed toward the back of the room, essentially expressionless, as John Engler was with a handful of reporters.
Izzo had plenty on his plate at the time, trying to prepare the third-seeded Spartans for Syracuse. Izzo wasnt particularly concerned with the conversations Engler was having with a handful of reporters and said he wasnt bothered by it, figuring he was there to show his support.
But it was another sign, showing the crisis on campus related to Larry Nassar has affected Izzo and his basketball program. And perhaps the next sign played out for all to see in Sunday afternoon when the 11th-seeded Syracuse eliminated Michigan State with a 55-53 win in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.

The toll of the turbulent season likely led to Izzo tearing up as he talked about perhaps the toughest season of his career when it seemed set up to potentially end with his second national championship.
While an ESPN report raised questions about how Izzo and Michigan State football coach handled sexual assault allegations within their program, their faces were on display on a TV set alongside Nassar, a former doctor at the school, who was sentenced to decades in prison for molesting young women and girls under the guise of medical treatment.
As part of the fallout, Lou Anna Simon resigned as school president and Mark Hollis, who is very close to Izzo, retired.
Izzo felt compelled to tell his team before a game he wasnt going anywhere as questions swirled about who might also be caught up in the wake of the scandal.
Instead of being frank at news conferences, Izzo repeatedly said he always cooperated with investigations and always would relating to allegations made against his players. He would grit his teeth and stayed largely silent when pressed with non-basketball questions at postgame news conferences.
The usually frank coach appeared to be in a no-win situation, getting criticized for not addressing allegations made in ESPN reporting and knowing he probably wouldnt have all the answers wanted if he did choose to say more.
Miles Bridges, meanwhile, went from being hailed for staying in school instead of making millions in the NBA to being ruled ineligible briefly before the final regular season game. The school found out his family had a meal with an agent last winter without his knowledge, committing an NCAA violation. Bridges was reinstated and bounced back to play well at times, but the pressure of performing and the off-the-court issues may have had something to do with him missing 14 of 18 shots against the Orange.
Everything that was thrown at us, we still had fun, Bridges said after what was likely his last college game. And, I love every guy thats on my team. Thats why Im so hurt right now.
Freshman Jaren Jackson is projected to be a high pick  even before Bridges  if he chooses to leave college as expected.
The Spartans may have three juniors to depend on next season led by point guard Cassius Winston, shooting guard Joshua Langford and forward Nick Ward along with seniors Matt McQuaid and Kenny Goins. Xavier Tillman worked his way into the lineup as a freshman and next years class will have plenty of opportunities to play.
Michigan State signed five standouts in November: Six-foot point guard Foster Loyer, Michigans Mr. Basketball; 6-10 forward Marcus Bingham Jr., 6-7 forward Gabe Brown and 6-8 forward Thomas Kithier.
Izzo insisted he will be back for a 24th season as coach to help the school and community bounce back even though he could probably land an NBA job if he wanted one after turning down at least a couple offers to jump to the league in the past.
I took too many bullets this year not to be here, he said. So, Ill be here and well be back knocking to win a championship.
By this time next year, though, Michigan State may not be in the clear and the lingering effects could continue to carry over onto the basketball program. Between Michigan States NCAA Tournament games, Engler was talking to reporters about his desire to reach a financial settlement with Nassars victims, adding the passage of sweeping child abuse legislation in the state is interfering with the process. State Attorney General Bill Schuette is reviewing how Michigan State handled the allegations against Nassar and the candidate for governor said the investigation would put a bright light on every corner of the university.
Even though his title is basketball coach, Izzo is a leader on campus and vows to stay to help it heal.
If somebody would give me a chance to bring Michigan State back, I cant think of anything I would rather do, Izzo said. I think its been punched and kicked. Some of it for mistakes, rightfully so. Some of them, not rightfully so. Im going to be hopefully part of the solution, not part of the problem.

Curtis Blackwell is no longer a member of Michigan State’s recruiting staff, and there’s at least one person inside the Spartans’ football building happy about that.
Blackwell interviewed, taken out in handcuffs and later suspended with pay in early February for his involvement in a sexual assault scandal involving Josh King, Donnie Corley and Demetric Vance. The three players were later dismissed from the program and are set to face charges, and Blackwell was let go at the end of last month.
But on Wednesday the Detroit Free Press obtained an interview an unnamed Michigan State coaching staff member conducted with MSU Police in which he lobbied multiple complaints against Blackwell’s status and conduct within the program.
Saying he was “not a Curtis guy,” the assistant accused Blackwell of improperly toeing the lines between his job as Michigan State’s director of college advancement and performance and his role as co-founder of the Sound Mind, Sound Body football camps, which he was (somehow) allowed to keep while on Michigan State’s payroll.
Those complaints include leveraging his status to pursue inappropriate relationships with parents of Michigan State players, taking a trip to a Spartans NCAA basketball tournament game on a booster’s dime and withholding critical information on SM/SB camp alums from the rest of the staff.
The unnamed MSU coach told police it was because “Curtis makes money off these kids’ parents,” through the Sound Mind, Sound Body camp, “so he is loyal to them.”
Whether or not the unnamed assistant or his colleagues approved of Blackwell’s work, the boss certainly did. Mark Dantonio hired Blackwell in 2013 and said he had no regrets about bringing him aboard. “I don’t have any regrets about bringing Curtis in. It’s just that things changed this year,” Dantonio said. “Up to that point, I think we were going in the same direction, but in the last four or five months I believed the philosophy just changed.”
Before his contract was allowed to expire on May 30, Blackwell enjoyed a raise to $129,000 a year after the Spartans’ Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff appearance following the 2015 season.

Question: Firefighters brace for second week of California wildfires

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

The air thick with acrid smoke, even residents of areas not under evacuation orders took the opportunity to leave, fearing another shutdown of U.S. 101, a key coastal highway that was closed intermittently last week. Officials handed out masks to residents who stayed behind in Montecito, the wealthy hillside enclave that's home to celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey, Jeff Bridges and Rob Lowe.
"Our house is under threat of being burned," Ellen DeGeneres tweeted at midday Sunday. "We just had to evacuate our pets. I'm praying for everyone in our community and thankful to all the incredible firefighters."
Ojai experienced hazardous levels of smoke at times and officials warned of unhealthy air for large swaths of the region. The South Coast Air Quality Management District urged residents to stay indoors if possible and avoid vigorous outdoor activities.
In San Diego, which is 130 miles (209 kilometres) to the south, the Lilac Fire was 75 per cent contained. The flames erupted suddenly Thursday in the Fallbrook area, known for its avocado groves and horse stables in the rolling hills.
The fire swept through the San Luis Rey Downs training centre, where it killed more than 40 elite thoroughbred race horses, and destroyed more than 100 homes — most of them in a retirement community. Three people were burned trying to escape the fire that continued to smoulder Sunday.
Despite the size and number of wildfires burning in the region, there has only been one confirmed death: A 70-year-old woman, who crashed her car on an evacuation route, is attributed to the fire in Santa Paula, a small city where the Thomas Fire began.
Most of last week's fires were in places that burned in the past, including one in the ritzy Los Angeles neighbourhood of Bel-Air that burned six homes and another in the city's rugged foothills above the community of Sylmar and in Santa Paula.

Question: Dangerous relics are a reminder of a legacy of conflict

Construction workers in Hong Kong made two frightening discoveries last week.
While digging deep in one of the busiest districts of this bustling city, they uncovered two unexploded bombs dropped during World War II. Both bombs were found in the same construction site within a span of five days.
By the time CNN arrived at the scene last Wednesday, police had blocked off traffic on the coastal road that runs between Victoria Harbor and the skyscrapers. The bomb squad was parked in front of a roped off construction pit holding the partially-buried bomb; the officers suited up in heavy black helmets, some of them coated in mud.
Thousands of people were evacuated. A nearby Starbucks and other cafes and restaurants overlooking the construction site were shuttered and closed.
Bomb disposal officer Alick McWhirter identified the unexploded ordinance as a "1,000-pound, general-purpose aircraft bomb" dropped by US warplanes when this former British colony was occupied by Japanese forces.
His team would spend the next 24 hours working to safely defuse a weapon that had been buried for more than 70 years.
It is hard to imagine that dangerous relics from a murderous, bygone era can still lie buried somewhere beneath Hong Kong's glittering skyscrapers and heaving shopping malls.
Yes, the green hills of this city are still dotted with immaculately preserved cemeteries and monuments to the many victims of World War II.
But the horrors of what happened more than 70 years ago seem increasingly irrelevant to people buried in their smart phones as they are transported on subway trains and ferry boats to and from work.
The unexploded World War II bombs that authorities periodically discover here and in other countries like Germany are far more than just historical curiosities. They serve as reminders of the insidious legacy of conflict.
I'll never forget the stern warning someone gave me when I first arrived in Afghanistan in 2001: "Don't step off the road when you get out of the car."
Hidden minefields dotted the countryside. Throughout decades of war, the Soviets and warring mujaheddin factions seeded the ground with explosive death traps.
Every time I stepped out of a car on a long, bruising road trip through the Afghan mountains, I had to remind myself of the sinister threat that lay somewhere beneath the ground.
Far more frightening, the impact these mines had on a population of Afghan farmers and herders who struggled to eke out a living on the booby-trapped soil.
If they were lucky, someone placed a little metal red flag emblazoned with a frightening skull and crossbones to mark a danger zone. And in some places, brave individuals from organizations like HALO Trust were doing the painstaking, perilous work of clearing land mines.
When I arrived in Afghanistan in November 2001, it was the start of a US bombing campaign. From miles in the air, American warplanes unloaded devastating payloads on Taliban targets.
This new generation of bombs landed on a country that had barely begun to clean up the explosives left from a previous rounds of fighting.
Not wanting to miss out on the action, the Taliban has also spent much of the next 17 years burying their own mines and bombs on Afghan roads and trails.
Civilians always face the worst fallout from this type of warfare.
But if you're curious to hear what it's like to survive a direct strike from one of these weapons, look at the work of the incredible South African photographer Joao Silva.
He lost both his legs to a landmine in southern Afghanistan in 2010. Somehow, he managed to snap several photos taken just seconds after the explosion.
Sadly, Afghanistan isn't the only country to harvest dangerous crops of unexploded munitions.
In 2002, I remember navigating past the checkpoints of rival Kurdish militias in northern Iraq, gazing at hillsides sprouting those frightening little landmine warning signs.
The next year, one of those mines claimed the life of a veteran Iranian photographer named Kaveh Golestan. He was killed after the journalists he traveled with unwittingly parked their car next to an unmarked minefield.
Cambodia has long been described as one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. In 2016, the southeast Asian nation marked a grim accomplishment. For the first time that year, Cambodia's annual casualty rate from land mines buried during the 1970s and 1980s dropped below 100 people killed and injured.
On a near daily basis, we see footage of bloody, dust-covered civilians dragged from the rubble of homes shattered by barrel bombs and airstrikes in Syria.
But the fact is, long after the shooting stops and the tears dry in Syria, Yemen, Libya and eastern Ukraine, civilian populations will face the additional threat of thousands of unexploded rockets and bombs, landmines and grenades embedded in the ground beneath their feet and in the foundations of their homes.
There is perhaps a glimmer of hope. In 1945, after more than three years of brutal Japanese occupation, Hong Kong was home to a traumatized population that had witnessed food shortages, atrocities and prison camps.
Emerging from the horrors of World War II, few residents then could have imagined that their city would one day grow into a sparkling, remarkably safe city.
More than seventy years later, Hong Kong is the kind of place where a long-buried, 1,000-pound device designed to kill people ... instead briefly shutters a Starbucks.

Question: The First #BoycottAdele Wasn't Over A Grammy, But On How To Make Tea

After her glorious Grammy sweep on Sunday night, Adele woke up to a #BoycottAdele hashtag, with many Beyoncé fans questioning her "unfair" win over their idol. But calls for a boycott are scarcely new for Adele. Last year, after she endorsed Hillary Clinton for president, Trump supporters launched a similar hashtag. Buffeted by the competitive politics of the right and left, the English singer will likely think longingly back to the uncomplicated very first #BoycottAdele hashtag that trended briefly in 2015 after the release of her hit single "Hello."
It had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with tea.
The millions of fans who have watched the music video of "Hello" know that a steaming cup of tea has a central role to play in providing succor to the singer's lovesick heart.
Artfully stained with sepia and loss, the retro video opens with a deeply depressed Adele walking into a shut-up house enrobed in dustcovers. Outside, it's wickedly cold and blustery. Inside (her broken heart) the temperature's pretty tundra-like too. So while she lavishly mourns the loss of her coffee-drinking lover in song, Adele does what the English do when things look bleak. She pops the kettle on. There's a delicately patterned china cup and saucer waiting to be filled. So far, so good.
Then, the singer does something absolutely shocking. She pours hot water into the cup and then pops in a tea bag. Instead of the other way around, of course. This casual switching of steps was an outrage and nothing short of tea treason. British twitter sputtered with indignation.
How reassuringly English. A country that has fought two opium wars with China to protect its precious tea supply takes the beverage very seriously.
Ask the man who is the au currant hero, George Orwell. He may have fought totalitarianism all his life, but when it came to making a pot of tea, it was his way or the highway. His popular essay, "A nice cup of tea," is an 11-point disquisition on how to achieve just that. Orwell would have been horrified by Adele's – and the modern streamlined style of – tea-making. Not merely by the presence of a teabag but by the absence of a teapot. "If the tea is not loose in the pot it never infuses properly," he declaimed. In order to get a good infusion, one "should take the teapot to the kettle, and not the other way about. The water should be actually boiling at the moment of impact, which means that one should keep it on the flame while one pours."
As for that other great anti-totalitarian Brit, John Lennon, he could imagine a world without heaven and religion, but not without tea – brewed the right way, of course. A few years ago, his widow, Yoko Ono, wrote a piece for The New York Times called "The Tea Maker," in which she affectionately recalled their midnight tea-making kitchen trysts. "Yoko, Yoko, you're supposed to first put the tea bags in, and then the hot water," John would admonish her. And so Ono allowed him to make the tea his way. But, for tea purists, there's an unfortunate twist to this story. As Ono tells it:
One night, however, John said: "I was talking to Aunt Mimi this afternoon and she says you are supposed to put the hot water in first. Then the tea bag. I could swear she taught me to put the tea bag in first, but ..." "So all this time, we were doing it wrong?" "Yeah ..." We both cracked up...
So Adele should take heart. She has the great Beatle on her side. But though once a committed tea drinker, Adele has given up her 10-cups-a-day habit. Not because of the tea trolls but because of the pounds she was putting on from the heavily sugared cups.
Meanwhile, her "Hello" video has launched a range of "Hello, it's tea" merchandise and several cheeky parodies, including changing the soulful line of Lionel Richie's 1983 hit, "Hello," to "Hello, is it tea you're looking for?" In another very funny send-up, an English radio presenter rewrote the lyrics to make tea the star. So instead of belting out "Hello from the other side," we have:
Where the hell's my cup of tea? My ginger nut needs dunking see Have you even turned the kettle on? I should have had it by now But all my biscuits are gone I love tea It's me and tea.
On Sunday night, after an awkward, overwrought but sincere-sounding acceptance speech in which she nervously lavished praise on Beyoncé, Adele accidentally broke her trophy in half. As if it were a ginger nut biscuit she was dying to dunk into a cup of tea. With all of those boycott hashtags, she could certainly do with a cuppa.

Question: Want to avoid the flu while flying? Try a window seat

NEW YORK — Worried about catching a cold or the flu on an airplane? Get a window seat, and don’t leave it until the flight is over.
That’s what some experts have been saying for years, and it’s perhaps the best advice coming out of a new attempt to determine the risks of catching germs on an airplane.
It turns out there’s been little research on the risks of catching a cold or flu during air travel. Some experts believed that sitting in a window seat would keep a passenger away from infectious people who may be on the aisle or moving around.
The new study, published Monday, came to the same conclusion.
For somebody who doesn’t want to get sick, “get in that window seat and don’t move,” the study’s lead researcher, Vicki Stover Hertzberg of Emory University in Atlanta.
The study was ambitious: Squads of researchers jetted around the U.S. to test cabin surfaces and air for viruses and to observe how people came into contact with each other.
But it also had shortcomings. In a total of 10 flights, they observed only one person coughing. And though the experiment was done during a flu season five years ago, they didn’t find even one of 18 cold and flu viruses they tested for.
It’s possible that the researchers were unlucky, in that they were on planes that happened to not have sick people on them, Hertzberg said.
The new study was initiated and funded by Boeing Co. The Chicago-based jet manufacturer also recruited one of the researchers, Georgia Tech’s Howard Weiss, and had input in the writing of the results. “But there was no particular pressure to change stuff or orient it one way or the other,” Hertzberg said.
The article was published electronically by a peer-reviewed scientific journal , the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The researchers did some mathematical modeling and computer simulations to determine how likely people were to come close to a hypothetical infectious passenger sitting in an aisle seat on the 14th row of a single-aisle airplane. They concluded that on average, only one person on a flight of about 150 passengers would be infected.
Researchers who were not involved said it would be difficult to use the relatively small study to make any general conclusions about the risks of an airline passenger getting a cold or flu, let alone other diseases like measles or tuberculosis.
But it’s a novel study about a subject that hasn’t been well researched, they said. Studies have looked at how respiratory viruses spread in labs and in homes, but “this is the first time I’ve seen it done for airplanes,” said Seema Lakdawala, a University of Pittsburgh biologist who studies how flu spreads.
She and others not involved in the research were intrigued by the study’s findings about how people moved about the cabin and came in contact with each other.
It found:
–About 38 per cent of passengers never left their seat, 38 per cent left once, 13 per cent left twice, and 11 per cent left more than twice.
–Not surprisingly, a lot of the people getting up had an aisle seat. About 80 per cent of people sitting on the aisle moved at least once during their flights, compared with 62 per cent in middle seats and 43 per cent in window seats.
–The 11 people sitting closest to a person with a cold or flu are at the highest risk. That included two people sitting to their left, the two to their right, and people in the row immediately in front of them and those in the row behind.
A lot of frequent fliers will be interested in the study’s results, said Edward Pizzarello, an investor in a Washington-area venture-capital firm who also writes a travel blog .
“It’s absolutely a fear I hear from people all the time. They just believe that they’re going to get sick from going on an airplane, or they got sick from being on an airplane,” he said.
Pizzarello said he’s an aisle person, because he doesn’t want to feel trapped in the window seat if he needs to get up.
Will he now go for the window?
Maybe, he said, if a sick person sits next to him.

Denis Belitsky/ShutterstockThere’s actually a flight so short that you end up spending more time on the taxiway (taking off, landing, and driving on the runway) than you do in the air. United Airlines offers a flight that has a total airtime of 16 minutes. It runs from San Francisco, California to Santa Rosa. (Even if your flight is only 16 minutes, make sure you follow these air travel tips.)
The total route is 62 miles long and in total takes about 45 minutes (that includes the time spent on the ground in the plane as well). If you were to drive from San Francisco to Santa Rosa it would take you about an hour and ten minutes with no traffic, so flying definitely has its perks. (Follow these golden rules to take the stress out of air travel.)
People escape to Santa Rosa for the weekend to explore the Sonoma Valley famous for its vineyards and restaurants. There are also attractions for kids so it’s a great place for the whole family to visit.
Now, if only the flight to Hawaii was that short.
It won’t be very long, but if you want to try to sneak in a nap on your flight follow these tips to sleep well on an airplane.

An administrative law judge in Minnesota has dealt a setback to a proposed gas-fired power plant in Superior, Wis.
Minnesota Power wants to join with Dairyland Power Cooperative to build the plant, saying it would provide backup for wind energy that the Minnesota utility is adding to its system.

Question: All the Best if SC Feels BCCI Could do Better Under Retired Judges: Anurag Thakur

After Supreme Court removed Anurag Thakur as president of the BCCI with a showcause notice issued in regards to charges of perjury and contempt of court, Thakur has issued a statement with a snide remark in response to the judgement stating if the Apex Court feels the board could do better under retired judges, he wishes them all the best.
In an one-minute long video, Thakur goes on to say that while he respects the SC judgement like any citizen should, for him it was not a personal battle but for the autonomy of the sports body.
Thakur adds that over the years Indian cricket saw its very best in cricket administration and the development of the game. Calling BCCI the best managed sports organisation Thakur said India has the best cricket infrastructure build and maintained by the state associations with the help of the cricket board.
He signed off saying that he is sure that Indian cricket will do well under their (SC appointed judges) guidance and his commitment to the best of Indian cricket and autonomy of sports will remain.
Earlier on Monday, the SC removed Thakur as president and Ajay Shirke as the secretary of BCCI. The apex court gave Thakur a deadline of January 19 to reply to its perjury charges.
The Justice RM Lodha Committee’s recommendations for a revamp of the BCCI were also taken into serious consideration, with the SC disqualifying all the board and its state association office bearers who have failed to meet the new norms set by the panel.
The SC will replace the top brass of the BCCI with a new panel of administrators, also to be decided on January 19.

Question: The Clonakilty man who helped build the Patriots' dynasty

HAVE YOU HEARD the one about the West Cork native that played a significant role in helping the NFL New England Patriots and New England Revolution soccer franchises flourish?
Brian O’Donovan was recently honoured by the city of Boston with a day officially named after him. O’Donovan’s work with WGBH radio station over a 30-year period has made him one of the most recognisable Irish names in the famous American city.
Yet, O’Donovan’s involvement with Robert Kraft and the New England Patriots American football franchise is just as interesting a tale so a couple of transatlantic emails later and we have the following remarkable story.
How did a person, born and raised in Clonakilty, end up becoming involved with the one of the most successful franchises in American football history?
Brian O’Donovan’s story begins in UCC, takes an unexpected turn when organising an Irish Music festival in Boston before one of American sports most well-known names walks into his life.
“I graduated from UCC in 1978 before moving to Boston two years later,” O’Donovan said.
Then in 1982 I went to Graduate School at Emerson College, located in the city (Boston). During that time, I became interested in producing events through working with the local radio station, WERS. So, in one period, I advanced towards both broadcasting and event management.
“I was hired as a consultant on an Irish music festival that was being produced at what was then known as ‘Sullivan Stadium’ which was the home of the New England Patriots. The Sullivans, who founded and still owned the Patriots at the time, liked my work on the festival and invited me on-board to develop an events program for the 61,000-seater stadium. I was fresh out of graduate school and married with two kids. I jumped at the opportunity.”
By 1987, Brian O’Donovan was General Manager of the newly renamed Foxboro Stadium. Within two years, Robert Kraft came on board, bought the stadium but not the actual New England Patriots franchise.
“My job was focused on three specific areas over an important five-year period,’ explained the Clonakilty native.
“Develop event programming (mostly large-scale rock concerts) at the stadium, help with the Kraft family’s pursuit of ownership of the Patriots and advance the effort of securing World Cup 1994 with the ultimate goal of our becoming a partner in Major League Soccer (MLS) after the event.”

It was 1994 when the Kraft family finally completed their takeover of the Patriot’s NFL franchise. Yet, it would not be until Bill Belichick arrived to take over the head coaching role and an unknown quarterback by the name of Tom Brady arrived on the scene that the Patriots fortunes took a dramatic turn.
That combination of Kraft, Belichick and Brady helped the New England Patriots become one of the most powerful and successful NFL franchises of all time.
“By the time I became Vice-President of Stadium Operations, I was working directly with Robert Kraft who along with son Jason, were incredibly driven and well-connected,” O’Donovan stated.
Bill Parcells was head coach at that time and Bill Belichick was in Cleveland with the Browns. Belichick was fired in 1996, came back to New England as an assistant, left with Parcells for the New York Jets where he ended up becoming head coach for one day before returning to the Patriots in 2000.
“My time with the Patriots was a fun, wonderful and totally surprising unexpected journey. I would never have imagined it. In retrospect and certainly by comparison with the enormous powerhouse the NFL has since become, it was more of a mom-and-pop operation but it really was a ton of fun.
“Between 1985 and 2000, the Patriots went from being one of the worst NFL teams to becoming a true dynasty unrivaled in the history of American sports. It continues to this day. The trio of Kraft, Belichick, and Brady is already enshrined in the game’s history. Belichick and Brady have significantly changed the game even over the last decade, not without their controversies but then with huge success come envy and detractors.
“Sports remain dominant in [Boston] Think of the history of the Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins plus the Patriots over the last two decades. As with sports everywhere, it’s a welcome distraction from our daily concerns, a rallying cry. I will say in this current day and age, sport has not managed to separate itself from a toxic political climate and that might even be exacerbated in the upcoming NFL playoff season.”
Not content with helping the Krafts build an NFL dynasty, Brian O’Donovan also became the New England Revolution’s (soccer) Chief Operating Officer and General Manager. O’Donovan was heavily involved in the negotiations that helped Major League Soccer (MLS) become a reality in USA after the country successfully hosted the 1994 World Cup.
He worked tirelessly behind the scenes and represented the Kraft Family interests with other potential franchise owners, encountering some well-known soccer personalities from the opposite side of the Atlantic Ocean.

“We certainly had a colourful start with the New England Revolution,’ O’Donovan said.
“Former Republic of Ireland striker Frank Stapleton was our first coach but that didn’t work out. Thomas Rongen (Holland) and Walter Zenga (former flamboyant Italian goalkeeper) also came in before, with four games left in the 2000 season, Steve Nicol took the job.
The former Scotland international and Liverpool stalwart had been a player-coach with a second division team for a few years. Steve was a great guy but ownership decided to go with another coach Fernando Clavijo for a couple of years before hiring Steve back. He and his assistant, Paul Mariner (former England international and Ipswich Town player) had some success with the team, leading them to a few finals but failing to win a trophy.
“Nowadays, soccer remains as popular as ever in the Boston area. It is great that the team and league appear set to stay. I have always said that all the game needed to thrive here was a stable league. Looking to the future, the Revolution, and soccer in general, would very much benefit from a downtown stadium in Boston as our current NFL home is too big and too far out of town.”
It has been quite a journey for Brian O’Donovan, all the way from Clonakilty to sitting alongside Robert Kraft in some of the most powerful boardrooms in American sport. His involvement with both the New England Patriots and the New England Revolution has seen O’Donovan play a key role in helping establish two of the most recognised brands in modern day sports.
Not bad for a Clonakilty-born, former Irish music festival organiser and radio host.
